THE ILLUMINATION
At very early hour last night, the citizens com.
menced "Iighting up,'' and at about o'clock, the
whole city, with few exceptions, the smile off
Joy. There were some who did not illuminate Il
but we must not on that account, attribute to them
want OF feeling on the occasion. We are satisfied
that they elt as warmly the emotions of grateful
hearts, although restrained from making an outward
shew by conscientious scrupes, as any of US. With
these exceptions, every private house, from the
most splendid to the lowest, was handsomely ilu-
minated some with appropriate transparancies,
others with tasteful designs, with appropriate motos,
wreaths Of laurel, grottos of evergreens designs in
sculpture, aabaster ornaments, variegated lamps,
&c. &c. all aseuly disposed to the best advantage,
and we'll calculated to evnce the taste and feeling oil

Of rejoicing appropriately belongs.
