Lane and Randall &c. were il- luminated. and the firing of the cannon announced to more distant parls of the town that once more 8 President was peacefully installed. We think every one must be glad to have the question quiet ly settled, and it is to be hoped now,~ that other matters willreceive needed attention, and that the country having reached firm land at last. will begin to recuperate.
