--- I- REJOICINGS IN VIE COUNTRY. - TO THE EDITOR (YIP TUE STAR. MASSE ?MD, Nov. 28. Sra-L•The Members of the Reading-room at this place beg you to receive their unfeigned thanks for your exertions in the cause of our persecuted Queen— she has had a glorious triumph !—and request you to insert the following among the list of the rejoicings so common in every part of the country. A numerous party of the most respectable inhabi tants of this town and neighbourhood dined together at the Crown Inn, when Nicholas Isaac, Esq. was President, and Dr. Thomas Newman, Vice-President. The dinner was excellent, and well served up, and re flected great credit on the new-come landlord (Mr. James Clark). " The King," was drank with every - token of loyalty and becoming respect ; and the next toast—" Our magnanimous—our glorious Queen !" with repeated cheers. These were fol lowed by many other truly loyal and appropriate toasts. A band of music played many national airs in fine style. Never was there a happier party met to celebrate so glorious an event. The decorations in the room ought not to be omitted—not only vari ous devices, but the inside almost covered with laurel, so as to form an alcove, interspersed with white ribbon, tastefully entwined. The rejoicings have been very general, and there is a Ball in con templation, to be given on the same occasion at the above Inn, which will be attended by all the beauty and fashion of this loyal place and its vicinity ; and a general illumination is expected. CHESTER, Nov. 27.—As our immaculate and worthy friend, The Courier, will, I doubt not, be fur nished with the particulars of this day's proceedings from some of his colleagues here, I wish, though very feebly, to give you a short description of the recep tion of Earl Grosvenor, on his return to his seat at Eaton. He was met at the upper end of Boughton; his Lordship's horses were taken from his carriage, and the populace drew him through the city to the Lodge of his Park, a distance of upwards of three miles, bands of music playing, and flags flying, and after giving his Lordship three times three hearty cheers, they returned in regular order to the city, and dis persed. What is most to be admired on this occa •sion is, that the proceedings against her MAJESTY liAve had the happy effect of uniting the different opi nions of the local politicians, and each pasty seemed to trying to be foremcht in shewing their aimira tica cf his Loi dship's independent principles. COLNE, NOVFNIBER 9.s.—The news of the aban donment of the hateful proceedings against the Queen, reached this place on Sunday, the 12th inst. and immediately spread through the town and neigh bouihood wide inconceivable rapidity, producing an extraordinary sensation. On Monday, the inhabitants ere anxious to testify their exultation in a public manner, and the bells of the Church were about to be rung, when the Parson interfered, and prevented it fur that day. However this had only the effect of still more rousing the public feeling ; and, on Wed nesday at. noon, notice was given of an illumination in the evening; and before seven o'clock almost every window in the town and neighbouring villages were in one general blaze of light; there were, in deed, a few who appeared to love darkness rather than light. The bells were merrily rung to a late how. About eight o'clock, an effigy, to which the populace gave the name of Liverpool, was borne through the town on a large pole, with an enormous Green Bag tied on his back, and wat at last burnt at the Mai ket-cross ; there was also another effigy, which liad several names given to it ; such as Cas tlereagh, Mijocchi, Sacchi, &c. according to their fancy, which at last shared the same fate as the former. During all this time the streets were exces sively crowded by the exulting inhabitants, and the scene was enlivened by a band of music playing through the town at intervals.. Not the slightest outrage was committed, and the evening was spent in the most convivial and cheerful manner. KENT. Not a Parish in the iiingdom has been more dis• gusted with the proceedings instituted against our gracious Queen, than Bean, near Canterbury ; and as a proof of the jdly of the inhabitants at the conclu sion of the late proceedings, their houses were illu minatad on Satwd ty s!naigl.t, and the effigy of Ma jocchi, after being exhibited through the Parish, was suspended frun a gallows over a large pile of fag gots, and burnt, amidst the cheers of the enlivened inhabitants; after which they retired to the Hare and lloundt , , and regaled themselves till a late hour, where the working' classes were hospitably Enter tained by their more wealthy neighbours. Of all the places that have shewn their satisfaction by public rejoicing for the triumph of the Queen, none is more deserving .of notice than Herne Bay, where it was celebrated on Thursday evening by an illumination, &c. There were several good transpa rencies, especially at the Ship Inn, which was lighted up in a splendid style, besides five appropriate tepre ktntations. Mr. Tharp, baker, had a representation of the witnesses against the Queen going home, which' was, Satan whipping them up Mount Vesuvius, on', tier landing from an English vessel. The Dolphin was well lighted up ; a tar-barrel was set alight, and every demonstration of joy was evinced by the inha bitants and neighbourhood, several of the neighbour ing Gentlem2ri contributing to the pleasure of the evening, by their presents and a liberal donation to the woi k-people and others. Elham was most generally and brilliantly illumi nated on Wednesday se'nnight, on account of the Queen's triumph over her wicked persecutors. A green bag was burnt in the square, with the effigies of Majocchi, De Mont, and Itastelli ; the Church bells rang the whole of the evening, and the poor were regaled with bread and cheese and beer, by a subscription of the loyal inhabitants of the town. Saturday se'nnight the loyal and patriotic inhabit. ants of Hamstreet, illuminated their village to testify their joy at the glorious victory gained by her Ma jesty over her conspiring enemies. A band of music paraded the streets, playing many popular tunes, marches, Ea. between the discharges of vollies of fire-arms. The whole concluded with the utmost decorum, much to the credit of the numerous corn tany assembled. the public dinner and general illumination at Wingbam, was followed by a &rand Ball on Wed nes,tlay se'nnigobt, at the Anchor, at which upwards of ty assetAbled. The room wa gaily decorated with transparencies, busts of her Majesty, See. ever greens and flowers. Dancing was kept up with great spirit until five o'cloa, when the-whole party danced the Queas Mardi, each couple as it led off treading upon a green bag, which was afterwards burnt, amidst noises less obstreperous perhaps, but equally sincere with those under which the Speaker, Lord Castlereagh and Co. huddled put of the Comnions the following afternoon. The popular feeling shone forth at the village of God mersham on Friday sennight, by the houses beingl brilliantly illuminated in honour oCthe Queen. An effigy of Majocchi was consigned to the flames amidst the hooting of the populace. The inhabitants bad plenty of good strong beer given them to drink her Majesty's health, and the evening was spent with the greatest order. EJECTION of Me LONDON COURIER.frone the KILMARNOCK COFFEE-ROOM. "At a numerous Meeting of the Subscribers to the lteading•Room of Kilmarnock, held on the 13th of November, Is2o, the Courier Newspaper of Lon don, of the 7th current, was particularly pointed out to the Meeting, as hating transgressed all the rules of decorum, and been guilty of a flagrant and mali cious attack, not only upon her MAJESTY, but upon all those who have in any manner supported or coun tenanced her; when the following Resolutions, passed: " 1. Resolved, That the Courier Newspaper of London, ever since the commencement of the proceedings against the Queen, has indulged in a strain, not only of the most unwarrantable abuse against her Majesty, but against all those who have had the good sense, candour, and manliness to advocate her cause, and countenance her with their support and approbation. " 2. Resolved, That while we and the Public Press should ever be kept free and untrammelled, we at the same time depre cate and condemn the use of language, insinuations, and asser tions, which are alike unsupported by facts as they are totally irreconcileable with truth, and therefore we cannot too strongly reprobate the whole conduct of the Courier during the late trial. " 3. Resolved, That the paragraph to the following effect : She (the Queen) might have been the cherished object of a nation's love, and that nation—England! She is the pretended idol of a rancorous faction—the addressed and congratulated Queen of Ruffians, Infidels, and Traitors—the tool of the basest —the most degraded wretches that ever polluted the public act s of a great and nuble country,'—contained in the Courier of Tues day the 7th current, is a gross, malicious, and infamous libel upon her Majesty, and on by far the greater part of the whole population of the kingdom, and has been framed with the manifest intention of vilifying and bringing into contempt (if possible) every Body, ('orporat ion, Society, or Individual, who have in any shape espoused the cause—the at length triumphant cause of her Majesty. " 4. Resolved, That the said number of Tuauday be imme diately committed to the flumes, and that tlw Cousi:r shill no longer be admitted into this room. " Nars.—The sentence of burning was accordingly put into immediate execution, and the Paper ordered to he discontinued; in room of which the London STAG is ordered to be substi toted."—.4yr and Wsgtcnslire Courier. rim- OF HER MAJESTY TO ST. PAUL'S CA THEMA& . FL'RTIIER PARTICULARS. Yesterday, being appointed by her MAJESTY for carrying into effect her intention of attending Divine Service at the Metropolitan Church of St. Paul, to return thanks to Goo for mercies received hem him, particularly in the vindication of her innocence and the recent triumph over her persecutors, the whole face of the country for several miles round fr., Me tropolis presented at an early hour a scene of unusual bustle and activity. Along every road leading in the direction of the town might be seen in hurried motion vehicles of every description, appropi lately filled with persons of every sex, age. and condition, and grouper of eager pedestrians, whose anxious looks and busy faces, evinced the deep and lively interest they felt in The animated scene they were crowding to witness.— The town itself, so much used as it has lately been to the racket and hustle of processions of various kinds, in honour of the Illustrious Object of the re lentless and persevering hostility of Power, whose rancour is equalled by nothing but the ardent, the enthusiastic attachment of the People to her cause, wore, on this occasion, an appearance of animation far exceeding that which any former occasion had wit nessed, and much beyond the powers of language adequately to describe. Not a street, not a lane, not an alley, through which might not be perceived, in rapid march to various points of the line of the in tended procession, continued crowds of every descrip tion of persons, clothed in their best attire, and deco rated with white favours and sprigs of laurel. In every direction might be seen and heard the waving of countless banners and flags, and the varied sounds of every air calculated to excite and to express the exultation of the People's minds, as the many and nernerous bodies of Friendly Societies, Benefit Clubs, and Associated Artisans, were marching in procession widi their respective colours and bands of music, in order to join with their fellow-citizens in the raptu rous display of their joy, at the triumph of innocence over oppression, and of their firm, their starm, their unabated and lasting loyalty and attachment to their persecuted Queen. At a quarter past nine o'clock, about 150 Gentle men on horseback assembled at Hammersmith, from whence they proceeded in a body to the field in the front of Brandenburgh-house : therethey were formed three abreast, according to the arrangement which had been previously made. In this manner one body, of about 50 horsemen, which was to precede her Ma jesty's carriage, proceeded to the avenue before the house, the remaining body, whose numbers had by this time considerably increased, forming in like man ner in the rear. Her Majesty's state carriage, drawn by six chesnut horses, was at the door about half past nine; and at a little before ten her Majesty was handed to it, followed by Lady Anne Hamilton.— Only one carriage belonging to the Queen was in the suite: this was occupied by her Majesty's Vice- Chamberlain, the Hon. Keppel Craven. Before the cavalcade left the grounds it was joined by a barouche and four, which took its station about fifty paces in the rear of her Majesty's carriage. The barouche was occupied by the Churchwardens and some other Of ficers of the Parish of Hammersmith. At a few mi nutes before ten o'clock the Procession moved off in excellent order towards Hammersmith town. lA' passiarg the Parish Church, her Majesty was warmly. greeted by the cheers of the Omit" , children, who gear ; ere drawn up in front, dressed in their holiday but their juvenile plaudits were almost drowned in the louder shouts of the older inhabitants of the vil lage, who seemed to vie with each other in express ing their feelings of gratitude and veneration for their benefactress and Queen. Many of the houses in the village were decorated with handsome flags, with various devices and mottoes, expressive of a con viction of her Majesty's innocence, and of the injus tice of her persecutors ; and there were few houses which were not ornamented with laurel leaves, inter mixed with knots of white riband, as emblematic of the late victory of injured innocence over powerful oppression. The windows were thronged with well dressed females, who, by waving of handkerchiefs, and occasionally of streamers of white riband, evinced their warm concurrence in the general feeling. We ought not to omit, that, from avery early hour, a large flag waved from the Church-top, and the bells continued ringing " merry peals" until her Majesty passed through. After the cavalcade had passed Hammersmith, very considerable accessions were made to its numbers by those horsemen who had come too late to join it at Brandenburgh House.— Viewed , from any station on the road's side, between that and Kensington, it presented a most pleasing spectacle. The richness of the Royal liveries, the number and respectability of the equestrian escort, the handsome 'decorations of the horses, and the taste ful knots of white favours (added, in very many in stances, to medallions of her Majesty, suspended from the neck by blue ribands), gave to the entire spectacle a splendid and interesting appearance. On the arrival of the proces s ion at Kensington, her Ma jesty was received with most enthusiastic cheers.— Every aperture of every house, through which even a glimpse could be had, had been occupied by "eager and inquiring eyes" long before her Majesty's arrival. Flags and banners of various descriptions floated from many bosses, and in others their place was supplied by the waving of less costly emblems—handkerchiefs and ribands. All, however, were equally significant of the same feelings—the heartfelt satisfaction of the inhabitants at the triumph of their much-injured Queen. The repeated cheers of the thousinds who occupied the doors and windows, and lined the streets, her Majesty graciously acknowledged in the most kind and dignified manner. Her affability and condescension were never more unremittingly dis played. It was, however, impossible to pay it to everybody; but, in the language of the Poet— " Still her approach with stronger influence warm',": She pleas'd while distant ; but when near she charm'd !" She seemed, indeed, an object of proud exultation— " A form design'd for sway, " Which Chiefs may court, and Kings with pride obey !" A body of horsemen, consisting of Gentlemen, Merchants, and Tradesmen, well mounted and deco rated with bows of white ribbon at their breasts, and white rosettes at their horses' heads, amounting in nit niher to from four to five hundred, formed under the orders of Sir Robert Wilson„ in the Horse-road in Hyde-park, leading down from the Duke of Wel lington's house towards the barracks of the Life Guards. At ten o'clock they marched into Piccadilly in a close column of four abreast, where they hilted under the command of Sir Gerard Noel, to await the coming up of the Queen's carriage, while Sir Robert Wilson, with the - Deputation of Stewards who had been appointed to attend the carriage, proceeded to wards Kensington to meet her M4esty. The appear ance of the whole line of road, from North End turn pike to Charing-cross, at this time presented an ap pearance the most imposing we ever witnessed.— Clusters of eager spectators hung on every tree ; the balconies, the windows, the roofs of nearly every house, were crowded. The Guards' Club-house in St. James's -street, and the houses of some few of the royal tradesmen, were the only ones which appeared to sympathize with the Palace of her Majesty's Royal Husband in Pall-Mall, the sullen gloom of which seemed to be increased with the rising gladness of the scene without. With these exceptions, the whole line of buildings was filled with spectators, and never was witnessed an as semblage of beauty and elegance more brilliant, more captivating, or more imposing, than that which thronged the windows and balconies on this occa sion. The people remarked with evident satisfaction, an elegant company of Ladies and Gentlemen as sembled on the balcony of his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester's house, at the corner of Park lane, in Piccadilly, who seemed to participate in the vivacity of the surrounding multitude. The road and the streets were filled with spectators on foot, and one unbroken triple line of carriages, caravans, carts ; and waggons, filled whir persons of size, age, sex, and condition, flanked the way from Hyde park-corner to the Strand. About half-past ten, the sound of the trumpets announced her Majesty's ar rival at Hyde-park-corner, when the cavalcade moved forward, amidst the united shouts and plaudits of the vast concourse of people assembled at that point, in the following order : Three Trumpeters on horseback. Sir Gerard Noel. Stewards with white *ands, four abreast. Three Trumpeters. Column of Gentlemen on horseback, four abreast, about Seven Hundred in number. Three Trumpeters. Sir Robert Wilson. Stewards with white wands, four abreast. Her Majesty's carriage, surrounded by Gentlemen on horse back, with white wands, containing her Majesty, accompanied by Lady Anne Hamilton. Stewards with white wands, four abreast. Three Trumpeters. Gentlemen front the Nesters part of the County on horseback, four abreast, in number about Five Hundred. Several carriages followed in line, containing seve ral very elegantly dressed females, decorated with white favours, who intended to accompany her Ma jesty into the Cathedral. As the cavalcade proceeded, the applauding shouts which rose 'from the multi tudes that lined the streets to greet its approach were loud and impressive beyond all we ever heard; and the scene presented by the waving of handkerchiefs, shawls, and bonnets, from the balconies, windows, and house-tops, as well as from vehicles filled with spectators by the road-side, exceeded in animation all power of description. As they passed the front of Carlton-house, the whole cavalcade waved their hats and cheered, the mass of spectators which filled Pall-mall, Waterloo-place, and Cockspur-street, join ing in the shout. guard. Many of them displayed bout of ribbon, and others leaves of laurel. From the e. cessive pressure it was a service of dangtr. were very few females among them. The proc. ; . sion was led. by a Gentleman mounted on a v;l: k i e horse, followed by several trumpeters and banner.,. The first was the British Lion roused ; next WAS Rag contairrinTaltriblenglwfigure . of Britannia, wi;: i another of the Queen standing at her side, and th e following inscription, Britons, behold your Que e: ,: , There were several other Rags in this group, rr it . of . them with the follots - ing - inscription—. L. nocence will triumph at lasts" Then came tl 4 Getlemen mounted on horseback, four deep. n e rear division of them consisted of the Co:11'114:ve who managed the processido, fr,. rn the rest by white wands, and some of them xe..r. ing sashes of white ribbon. They consisted uf between five and six hundred men, and made a vc : r handsome appearance. Then came the Q:tcen state carriage, drawn by six beautiful chesnut with her servants in Royal - liveries. Sir Rohe, son rode on the right hand side of the ca n i q . ; rather in advance of the body of the coach. It wa r followed by two other close carriages. containin some of her Majesty's suite, and Mr. Hobbouse.—. Mr. Peter Moore, - accompanied by three la.:ie , nert followed in an open landau. A cavalcade or about 200 horsemen, four deep, followed exactly in the same order, and decorated like those who preceded the Royal carriage. They were succeeded by a con siderable number of men on foot, bearim t a large quantity of the baiinc:s of Friendly Societies and other Deputations that had already presented Ad- dresses to her Majesty. The banners a!,d dags of this group, consisting of all the colours the rain. bow, had a splendid effect. A large crov:_.: 4 pedes trians, and several carries of various de•triptions, brought up the rear. DEIR STRAND. The procession entered the Strand about eleven o'clock: It was preCeded by' a miscellaneous crowd of the pepulatle, which formed, as it were, the van- -•• • • - FROM TRMPLE-RAR TO ST. PAUL'S. The whole line fromle-Ilar to S.. Paul's excessiyely crowded at nine o'c.ock. :Art, car riage, or hackney-coach was to be , dre-sed Ladies and Gentlemen ly en foot backwards and forwards, is the . ~:r.!! current afforded room for moving. Every sa d lane adjoining this pait of the li c of proces,a,.. was oc cupied by crowds, who were accounnodawu with temporary means of viewing the interesting scene. New Bridge-street and Fleet-market presented grand appearance, both for numbers and for ele gance. Not a window, a ithin view, but was occu pied by as many Ladies and Gentlemen of the greatest respectability as could possibly have a glimpse Of the procession. Every 11011-e-op, every place where a human foot could stand, was occupied. The top of St. Dunstan's Church was covered with a genteel multitude. About half-past eleven the Lord Mayor, the Sile riffs of London, Alderman Wood, Mr. Faveil, and other Members of the Common COuncil, in their re spective coaches, with horses splendLly Decorated, and with all the pomp and state of the Metropolitan Corporation, proceeded towards Temple-Bar to re ceive her Majesty. They were loudly cheeied by the immense multitudes on . everysisle, as they advanced. At Temple-Bar they inverted the order for the re , 'turn;the.Lord Miiyor, -who:h . :id "advanced tirst, now taking his station last. Her Majetty, on arriving at Temple-Bar, took. her station immediately after the Lord Mayor. In the procession to St. Paul's, the Corporation were preceded by a large body of the cavalcade, headed by Sir G. Noel. • The multitudes along the streets now ranged themselves in the closest phalanx, and cleared a passagefor the procession to advance with perfect ease and safety. •It is quite im possible to imagine any gratification- to: the eye or the ear of man more magnificently sublime than this scene presented. Above, below, on every side, no thing was to be seen but eager arid'continued waving of hats and handkerchiefs ; the shotits of congratula tion and heart-felt blessings that resounded along, were at once awful and animating. When the pre , servation of order made it -necessary to halt occa sionally, those who had a view of her Majesty raised a shout of redoubled enthusiasm ; this was invariably a signal to all who heard the shout or saw the agi tation of white handkerchiefs, to join in the triumph ant cry of " GOD bless our Queen," and to wave their white handkerchiefs in token of their conviction of her innocence. Her Majesty on these occasions ac knowledged, with every symptom - of feeling and condescension, the ardent expressions of sympathy and admiration which she called forth. The eager ness to get a near view of her Majesty was extreme, and must have caused considerable annoyance to many Gentlemen in the procession ; but no inter ruption to perfect good humour was anywhere of fered. It may be safely affirmed that so numerous a concourse of human beings was never before seen in any city on the face of the earth. It is proadly pecu liar to the Queen of England and the City of London that this immense assemblage should be seen within the barriers of London, to celebrate the triumph of a' Queen, the greatest triumph ever obtained over the worst passions that ever disgraced human nature— without one emblem of military controul, or one in strument of war,. and without the slightest cause to regret their absence. At half-past twelve her Majesty arrived at the outer gate of the rand entrance to St. Paui's. All who had a view of this part of the procession, and immense was the crowd stationed at windows, on house-tops, on hackney-coaches, and on booths erected near the Cathedral, all raised a simultaneous shout; the mass along the streets carried it triumphantly along towards Temple-bar. During the time her Majesty was engaged in the solemn act of giving thanks to Got), the multitudes kept their stations, It was dreadfully grand on this occasion, from the roof of a centre house in Ludgate-hill, to view the inseparable mass condensed in the streets below. In the slightest movement that took place, all moved. It was one living mass, as closely packed as it was possible for human beings. INTERIOR OF ST. PAUL'S. The south door of the Cathedral was opened a ten o'clock for the admission of the Canon•Residen• tiary, the Sub-Canons, the Choir, and the other per sons who were to officiate in the solemn Set vice of the day ; and at half-past ten the northern door was opened to the Members of the Common Council, who formed the Committee. These two el:t! ancci were then closed for the remainder of the day.
