London vid Bombay, 2nd June.
The news of the signing of terms of Peace caused the utmost enthusiasm when it was announced at the Mansivit House between five and six o'clock yesterday evening. It had rained heavily during the day, but cleared up in the evening, when uproarious crowds assembled at the chief centres and the Mansion House and Piccadilly Circus, waving flags, and blowing trumpets and whistles, It was a repetition of Mafeking night. Many illuminations that had been prepared for the Coronation festivities were lit up.—Reuter,
