The illumination which took place in
this city on Thursday evening, was very
general and truly splendid. The evening
however proved quite unpropitious, as IT
showed furlously tine whole time; the
storm continued until ten O'Clock yes,er-
day morninT, when the snow had fallen to
the depth Of about six inches
The streets were almost as light as dav,
ard come of the houses presented TIE most
scene at the landing was emienently sub
lime. Covinstcn ano Newport, particu-
larly the latter, appeared almost in blaze
Of light, and the banks Of the river, were
flaming with immense bonfres composed
Of barrels Of tar and other combustlble
materials. Numerous torches were like
wise to be seen waving in the air, which,
on the opposite bank Of the river, cften-
times resembled the bursting of the most
brilliant rockets. The Exchange, in Gin
lcinnati, directly in front Of the binding, in
addition to numerous lights tastefully ar
ranged, had displayed an elegant transpa-
rency representing rail road with several
steam cars and locomotives passing ur on
it. over which appeared t"o female figures
or Goddesses joining hands, one intended
TO represent Cincinnati as the Queen OF
the West. and the other Charleston as the
Queen of the South. All the buildings
bordering on the area Of the Quay were
sparkling with thousands Of tapers, while
TIE deep-mouthed cannons were believing
forth their laundering voices amid the
cheers and joyous EXPLANATIONS Of dense
multitude.
