The evening of February 15, 1815, wssxold, and at a late hour only Alderman Sabra and another gentleman were left with Father Lang, the genius of the place. The office was about being closed, when a jpifot rushed **in, and stood for a moment so entirely exhausted as to be unable to speak. 'He has great newsf' exclaimed Mr. Lang. Presently the pilot, gilpins: for breath, whispered intelligibly-Peace! peace! . The gentlemen lost their breath as fast as the pilot gained his. Directly the pilot was able to say: ... 'An English sloop is below with news of a treaty of peace!' They say that Mr. Lang~ exclaimed in greater words than ever use?i before-and all bands rushed into Hanover square, ex? claiming-Peace! peace! . The windows flew up-for families lived there then. -No sooner were the inmates sure.of thu sweet sound, of peace than the windows began to glow with Brilliant illu? minations. The cry of PEACE! PEACE! spread through the city at the top of all .voices. No one stopped to inquire about Tree trade or sailors' rights.' No one in? quired whether even the national honor had been preserved. The matters hy which the politicians bad irritated the nation-into the war had lost all their importance. It was enough that the ruinou'3war-was over. An old man on Woadw&yv?ttracted by the noise to his door, .vas seen'to pull down a i>!ac ir? 'To Let,' which'had been long polled up. Never was theft" stach a j ty in the ?,ity. A fe-v evenings after there was a general illumination, ?and al? though, thc st.; w was foot deep aud soaked 'with rain, ) ? the streets were crowded -with m^n acd women, eager io .'see; aad partake of everyibing which bad in it tho ' ?i?bt or taste of peace. f|A gentleman was sacing ai the Tiltyard Coffee-House, when it rained exceedingly hard, tba4 it-put him in mind of the general deluge. "Oof, air," -said an t>ld*ca/n paigtter, ""who stoo l by, "I have beard of ali clio generala in Europe but him.'*- <kVeiy likely," said the oth?r; "bis commission was dated at the time of Admiral Noah Ensign llainbow succeeded bim." A gentleman was called upon to apolo-^ giz.6 for words uttered in v?inefc "I beg nar#&.,!' said he, "I did not'mean to aay what i did: but I've bail the misfortune to lose some cf my front teeth, end words get out every now ?ind then without my know? ledge." A fellow in on oblivious state took up his lodging on the sidewalk. He awoke next morning, and straightening himself, looked at tito ground on which he bad i^ado his ooueb.
