morning papers of the capture of the
Malakof, was received with unbouuded
satisfaction, and created an intense anx-
iety IN the public mind rs to what was
likely to follow, and this feeling maturcd
into a perfect enthusiasm whom the sue
cessiye dispatches arrived later in the
day announcing the destruction of the
Russian feet and the fall of Sebastopol
itself. The impression at first created
among all classes seemed to be that the
news was too good to be true, for the re-
ported capture of the great Russian for
tress Immediately after the battle of the
Alma was not forgotten, and a fear was
entertained by many that there was at
cess of the allied armies upon the pres
ent occasion. The consequence of this
doubtful reception of the glorious news
was a rush to the offices of the evening
newspapers, which, up to IL O'Clock last
night, could with difficulty meet the de-
mand made upon them, while, the news
rooms, coffee shops and public houses
were crowded with people anxious to
read, or to hear read, she despat:hes
announcing the success and it is impo5-
sible to describe the enthusiasm eviuccd
when it became apparent that the south
ern portion of Sebastopol was indeed in
the hands of the allies.
At 8 o'clock a large crowd had assem-
bled in front of the Mansion House and
Royal Exchange, in the expectation that
the Lord Mayor, in his robes of state,
and with full viyic pomp, would make an
official proclamation of the victory, as.
was done. nearly twelve mouths ago, on
the occasion of the victory of the Alma.
No such proclamation, however, was
made, owing to the fact that no official
intimation had been at the Mansion
House by Lord Panmure upon the sub
ject, and the crowd, after waiting pa
tiently for some time, gradually dis
persed.
About 9 O'Clock, the guns in St. James
Park, as we'll as those OF the tower, thun-
dered forth their notes of victory, and
the bells at many offhe principal church.
es rang out their joyous peais while
in most of the main thoroughfares groups
of people might be seen standing around
one reading the dispatches BY the light
of street lamps or shop wiuiuws.
