LONDON, Tuesday, April %, 1856.
The Ratification" has appeared in due form at
last in The Gazette and this day Peace is being pro-
claimed through the metropolis in approved feudal
fashion, We are obliged, after ALL to fall back on
the Heralds College when We want ceremony
as we did when we buried the old Duke-and if We
could only get as much of the antique vgor into
our dOings as We get Of the antique form into Our
celebration of them, we should be little more
joyful to-day. The weather is dull, lowering and
raw; the police are keeping "Order," and crowds
are watching the Earl Marshal (tke Office is he
redtsry in the Howards) as be PAGES along and
proclaims that her Majesty is at peace with Rus
sia. There is something which wearies and
almost awes one in such spectacles in London.
The crowd is so enormous and SO modern looking,
and the whole seems so puzzliDg to them, that
they don't know whether to admire, or TO laugh,
or what; and one feels how the whole set OF
the literature they read is against the thing they
have come out to see. say that philosophical
mind, Mr.. Editor, is not very joyful at these times.
But stll, show is a show and we work so hard
and live so apart from each other, that it has it's
cheerfB side--a gathering like tLis-atter all.
The worst of the particular before u.s. is, that
the Peace is not glorious in everybody's eyes or
heart, and that the ceremony is as tame 10 US es

is TO be had in anticipation, The Times usually gets
it; but this time Tie DAILY Neacs has made great
stroke in advance of them. There was a mystery
made in the interval about the missing four. But
they only relate il seems, 10 amnesty and rest0rs
ton of prisoners and TO the admission of Turkey
into the political system of Europe. No doubt the
last ia very important. Iony mean that we knew
it wasfikely TO come, long ago. And, in fact, the
Treaty, like the Peace itself, startles nobody we
expected pretty much what we have found 10 II:
We could not have taken less, and we are doubtful
how we could have got more. Icould not descnoe
this precise time better than by saying that we are
