THE FALL OF DELHI.

818311N3a s,
Tuesday.—The short telegraphic de-
spatch announcing the capture of Delhi, which arrived
in this town shortly after 6 o'clock yesterday evening,
was welcomed with the greatest enthusiasm. The news-
a.zents, by whom it was received, immediately commu
nicated the fact to the principal hotels, the theatre, the
town-hail, the concert-rooms, and other places of public
amusement; and upon its announcement, the various
audiences gave the intelligence a hearty and cheering
welcome. Later in the evening Tho Sun, containing the
official intelligence, arrived by express, and added to
the excitement.

NOTTINGHAM.—The intelligence of the taking of Delhi
arrived in Nottingham about 9 o'clock on Monday night,
by electric telegraph, and was received with the greatest
enthusiasm. The " firing "of the bells of the various
churches in the town proclaimed the joyful news to those
of the inhabitants who were not previously acquainted
with it. The information was received by the manu-
lactnrers and merchants assembled in the Commercial
Exchange with a cordial round of applause. The arrival
of The Sun confirmed the fact, and the telegram was
posted outside the various newspaper offices, thereby
satisfying the inhabitants of the correctness of the state-
ment. Flags waved from different buildings in the
town, and the news has imparted an intensity of joy,
which, considering that no one doubted the certainty of
Delhi being taken, could scarcely have been expected.
The feeling in the town is that the mutineers should be
visited by a strict retribution.
LIVERPOOL—EarIy on Tuesday the bells of various
churches in this town rang forth a merry peal, and con-
tinued to do so throughout the day, on account of the
fall of the city of Delhi. Many of the shops, too, dis-
played large banners, and the ships in the docks and in
the river also exhibited their gayest bunting. The
intelligence was communicated on Monday night to the
audience at the Theatre Royal previous to the com-
mencement of Professor Anderson's performances, and
was greeted with three cheers.
