If necessary there could be @ man at each window wo attend to the candles. Alderman tucker was of the opinion that he knew as mnth ae avy body else ont the City Hall, and ne thought that the benefis the masses would receive from the su cree of the telegraph enterprise would not be equal to the Gamage that might be done to the Hall.

The excitement, which was at its height among the mer baots on Saturday, was calmed down yerterday. They seemed divponed to await with patience the an- nouncement that messages had actually passed between the Queen aud Mr. Bachanan; not, however, without mis- givings on the part of many, who supposed that all was not right, or that something might yet turn up to prevent the inal copsummation of the enterprise so ardently de- tired by all.
