CORONER'S INQUEST. • The adjourned Inquest on Ann canting, who died. the day after the premature delivery of a child at the Mary-.a-bonne Infirmary, sat again last night at the Buffalo's Head, the body having been opened to ascertain whether death was occasioned by a severe fl ,gging administered by Captain D—e, her mas ter, or from any other cause? The Midwife at the lklary-la-bonne Infirmary, proved that the child had been dead a fortnight, but not. from disease—that the mother was much bruised and complained of the pains. The Hospital Apothecary attributed death to erpipelas, which would be aggravated by labour. — The marks on the body were livid, but did not re quire medical aid. Coates, the Officer at Marlbo row,h-street, proved that Captain D—e was held in sureties for the flogging the week before last. The Jury returned a verdict—Died of disease. STEEPLE CHASE. A steeple chase Match of four miles, for One Hundred Gui neas, took place last week near Newcastle, between two horses belencing to the 4th Dragoon Guards, the one rode by Captain 13oyn, and the other by Lieutenant Macle. The ground chosen was a circuit, with thirty-two leaps, at each of which a soldier was placed, is neither of the riders knew the country ; unclothe bind and colours of the Regiment were placed at the winning post, attended by the (*we, awl a number of gen tlemen of the town and neighbourhood. The Alatch was won by Captain Bovn, in twenty toilette. Lieutenant Magan's horse was the favourite at starting, and bad the speed of his opponent, but lost the match by being railllt thy at the leaps. Considerable sums were depending upon tbelssue of the contest. Both the gentlemen rode in a most masterly style, and the horses came in apparently not mach fatigued. BOXING. ••••1•1 LANCASTER AND ADAMS. The match between Jack Lancaster and Adams, for fifty guineas aside, was fought yesterday on Hayes i Common, Middlesex, near Arlington Corner, fifteen miles from London. The match was knocked up in a hurry, and the men had little more than a week allowed for training. The weather, enough to damp the ardour of any but an out-and-outer, did not pre vent a tolerable muster of the amateurs. At half past one Adams appeared in the ring, attended by Tom Shelton and Rasher, as his bottle-holder and second; and shortly afterwards, Lancaster, followed by Harry Harmer and Cy. Davis, made his ap pearance, the rain coming down in torrents. Martin was appointed one of the umpires. Round 1. Adams hit short and got away. Lancaster told with his one, two, slightly ; but in closing, Adams received a little piper • and in going down he was the undertnost. 2. The science displayed by Lancaster was pretty, and he not only stopped in good style, but he sent Adams down on his lat ter ertil—(Groat applause).-7 to 4on Lancaster. 3. This was a good round. Adams made some feints, but he was nab.sed, and also received a ribber. Adams again went down, and some hissing occurred. It was 2to 1 now. 4. The nob of Lancaster spewed some sharp inosintment, and his left eye was cut and bleeding from an old bruise. Adams went down. " Its all right, Lancaster." 5. Adams went down, but the spectators seemed to think not from a hit. 6. Lancaster stopped in fine style —Adapts again went down. 7,8, 9, and 10. In all of these rounds Lancaster appeared to have the best fighting; but his right hand was gone, and his bitting was not effective. 11 and 12. Adams was shy, and did not appear to like to meet his man. Ile was again down. 13. Adams met with a floarer.—(Great applause). 14, 13, and 16. Lancaster had the best of these rounds. 17. The left hand of Lancaster did some trifling execution, l but he was hit down.—(Great approlratiou for ddants). 18 and 19. Lancaster was much distressed, and went down from sante sharp hits. .O to 28. The nab of Lancaster was the worse for the fight, but he neveitbeless displayed some fine science. 29. Adams went down quickly—(Great tlisapproliation)--and Martin went up to Adams and told him to recollect it was a stand-up fight, and if he again went down without a blow, the umpires would give it against him. 30. A sharp round. Adams much distressed. 31st and last. This round occasioned a greal deal of disturb ance. It was urged by the partisans of Lancaster, and also by his seconds, that Adams went down without a blow.—" Foul, F4jr, fair!" were heard all over the ring; and the' combatants sat upon the knees of their seconds for upwards of four minutes, when the umpires decided that Adams had for feited all rigit to the stakes, in consequence of falling without a blow. This decision did not give general satisfaction ; al though it was urged that Lancaster had won the battle in the 9th round. Lancaster, although .a fine scienced boxer, is gone by as a fighting man. He cannot punish, and his right hand went in the second round. If he had been as good now as four years ago, he must have won it off-hand. Scroggins, the Birmingham Youth,, Purcell, Mason, &c. &c. were present, but the tor rents of rain put a second battle out of the question. At the conclusion of the fight the lads all declared in favour of Lushington, and they moved off in quick time to poll. MOSS AND THOMPSONI. The match between Harry Moss, the Gypsey, attd Thompson, the Berkshire man, both acknowledged good men, under twelve stone, which was to have taken place at Iledgley, within a few miles of Dork ing, in Surrey, took place in a paddock belonging to a Air. Mills, at Farndon, ten miles from the ap pointed spot, the boxers having been drawn thither by an extra subscription purse of £2O, in addition to the £4O. they fought for. Moss was seconded by another Gypsey, and Thompson by Nares, a-naviga-, tor.—Betting 5 to 4 upon the Gypsey. In the first round Thompson had his cork drawn, in a brisk rally, in return for which Moss was floored by a chance body hit. In their eageniess for assauk each missed intended hits, and closed, wheu Thompson had ?doss's head safely under the left arm, In a manner in which Randall would have given him a suficient dose ; hut the Gypsey slipped out of his adversary's clutches without harm, and they broke from e;_rli other. Ef this time exertion had tamed them, and they worked with more deliberation. A severe round was knelt, and it was difficult to say which had the h:st. Moth fell weak. The round lasted seventeen minutes. S. At it they went again in bull-dog fashion ; hitting was the order of the round, and Thompson cast out a front tooth. A severe rally ended the round, by the Gypiey bring knocked down with asi - nay blow on the left side; this blow settled the battle, which 11:d now lastuil twenty-two minutes. The Gypsey came to the scratch doubled-up seven other roundF. In the 11th round Nature had turned him up, and he was dead to time, and lost the fight in thirty-seven minutes. It was a ruffianing fight, and if fought over again . the Gypsey would have a right to win it. A male otter was killed on Tuesday se'nni P ght in the S tour , near Grove Ferry, by Mr. E..EPS, of the Ferry-house, whi di measured four feet three inches in length, and two feet four inches in girt, round the body. It weighed %/Vbs. and tbegirt of the taikwas 13 inches. REJOICINDS IN THE COUNTRY. Entivaunott.-Saturday evening, 'a few houses in various parts of this city vrere again illuminated., Parties of the Ist Regiment of Volunteers, of the Mid Lothian Cavalry, and the 7th Dragoon Guardi, patrolled the streets from an early-to a late hoar, but their presence seemed quite unnecessary. PLYMOUTH DOCK, Nov. 19.—0 n the Mail arriv ing here on Sunday morning with the news of the decision of the House of Lords, great rejoicing was, manifested by the lovers of their country and the friends of the Queen ; white ribbons were in great request, and displayed immediately on the occasion. Monday morning, long before day-break, the mercy bells were heard from several neighbouring towers. At one o'clock twenty-one guns were fired from the pier, at the Richmond sea-baths, and the proprietor's house, in Fore-street, was dressed with laurels ; in the evening his house .( with several others) was illumi nated.- Tuesday and Wednesday were ushered in by the same joyous demonstrations; I have, however, to notice, with great regret, that the general har mony was partially interrupted on Wednesday after noon, by the display of an image fixed in a cart, and dressed in the uniform of an Admiral, with a star on his breast, &c. &c. This appeared to cause great alarm, and the Magistrates immediately assembled; many respectable inhabitants were sworn, in extra constables ; the image was taken to the Town Hall, and the person with the cart interrogated, who. being a porter, and hired to take the load to Ply-' mouth, was discharged, after having a severe lecture on the occasion. However this appeared at the . moment to interrupt the joy that prevailed, it is im possible to deicribe the enthusiaitic eagerness that, was shewn to prepare for the general illumination and rejoicing that was to take place ou the following day. The annexed are the particulars :—Mr. Chap man, painter, had a well-executed transparency of Britannia (on the left her shield and spear, on the ground, kneeling, in admiration for the eriusppli of her Queen, who as seen in the centre of the transpa rency, encircled by a wreath of roses, surmounted with the British crown ; by the side of Britannia the lion is couched on the tattered remains of the Bill of Pains and Penalties; on the right, a personi fication of the Milan Commission is shewn, driven by the rays of Truth into darkness ; the names of, Brougham, Denman, yffskine, and Grey, support the medallion of her Majesty ; and at the head of the whole is this motto, " Regina, in spite of them." In front of Mr. R. O. Backwell, ironmonger's, house, a transparency, with four verses taken from the 35th Psalm, and beginning with " False witnesses did rise up," kc. &c. and also a fine display of variegated and other lamps. Mr. Mall, leather tatter, Britan nia (trampling on a figure representing caltimny) receiving the Queen, with one hand extended to wards her, the other resting on a shield, behind which came a scroll, with the words " Thus shall Britannia protect Innocence and subdue calumny in the centre was a full roused lion trampling on the Green Bag r Milan Commission, and Secret Committee ; at the other end a figure escaping, by which was repre sented Rastelli, and a fallen figure at the feet of the runaway ; Fame, in the centre of the clouds, blowing a trumpet, from the mouth of which issued several mottoes, as " Like the leaves shall her enemies fall," " The independence of the British Bar," " Liberty of the Press," &c. R. and J. Burnet, mercers, C. R. and a star, in variegated lamps ; and in front of the dwelling-house, "The voice of the People," " May the light which this represents be unextinguishable." Mr. Rod, attorney, -t very elegant and tasty display of candles, wreaths of laurel, flowers, &c. and in the centre of the room, a bust of the Princess Charlotte, beautifully illuminated and decorated. Mr. John Hoar, tobacco-manufacturer, " Star of Brunswick," suspended across Pembroke-street, which had a beau tiful effect in passing down George-street. Mr. Prowse, James-street, " May the virtues of her Ma jesty be as durable as our native Wood, and her ene mies fall like the leaves of Autumn." Mr. Abel, Queen-street, De Mont and Majocchi, as large as life, suspended across the creet. The word " Caroline" appeared very brilliant at Mr. Rowe's, George's street. Indeed it is impossible to describe the whole of the appropriate mottoes, devices, &c. which ema nated from the spontaneous .feelings of the inhabit ants of this town. There was a very brilliant dis ' play of fire-works on the open space before George's square. A Royal salute, fired at nine o'clock from' the Richmond sea-baths, had a pleasing effect, which, with bonfires, balloons, and other demon strations of joy, closed the festivities of the evening. &EMBED, Nov. 20.—This being the day ap pointed for the general illumination and public re joicing for the triumph of the Queen, as early as six o'clock in the morning the firing of cannon and; other arms commenced, and has been kept up with great spirit throughout the day—and till the re joicings terminated, at twelve at night, the discharges were constantly reverberating. The Printer of the Ministerial Paper (who is also Postmaster of the town) joined by two Clergymen and a few other individuals, 'lad busied themselves for some days in going from I l house to house, endeavouring to induce persons to set down their names to a series of Resolutions, pledging themselves not to illuminate; but, in spite of this trick, the illumination is both brilliant and general. It would be in vain to attempt giving even a brief outline of the many elegant transparencies and devices exhibited on this cheering occasion. The Bank of Messrs. Shore exhibited a brilliant display of variegated lamps—in front was the Star of Bruns wick, the Crown, and some elegant festoons. The windows of the patriotic Proprietor of The Sheffeld Independent (a Paper which has t hrou g hout advki cated the cause of her Majesty with the most manly consistency), had an elegant display of variegated lamps, with the Star of Brunswick and C. R. Mr. Elijah Forster, engraver, Mr. Roberts, of the Bri tannia, in Foregate, and several others, exhibited ex cellent transparencies, and the night has terminated without even the breaking of a single window, though the Clergy of the Establishment, and several others of the known worshippers of " the Powers that be," kept their houses in the most complete state of darkness. NEWBURY, Nov. 20.—0 n the arrival of the glori ous news of the Bill of Pains and Penalties being thrown out of the House of Lords on Friday evening, the 10th inst. about eleven e'clock, by the Mail, thp bells immediately commenced a merry peal, and con tinned without intermission the whole of the visinclu,rsatdayseanrnotabthlee town tini es, - an ' d nnti n . e l io Sa i).o tu u r r d h a oo y d las , t without On orreptiOn, was brilliantly . illuminated, and seared . ) , ,u hyouse • l it i h a o j u o t cch a i d an ev d ic; iad m e suspended on a gibbet fifty cubits high, in the Mar amnoyise of whic h D Mont lo a n ce t wet , Mar ket-place, surmounted by a huge bag, around which were placed a quantity of faggots, which consumed the gibbet and effigies suspended from it. In Speen hamland, another gibbet, from which were suspended Cuchi and Barbara Kress, was erected, surmounted by another green bag, which shared the same fate. White favours and laurel were the order of the day and night, with both male and female. On Friday, 'the Benefit Societies of the town,. preceded by a. band, and a dog bearing a green bag in his mouth : With the following labels attached :—" Italian Lies; " Subornation of Perjury;" " Filth - and Scandal, and more Lies;' accompanied by twenty flags, with de vices, of which the following form a part :—ln centre of one was Queen Caroline, surrounded by the names Brougham, Denman, Lushington, Williams; another, the Portrait of her most gracious Majesty, the words " Queen Caroline for ever," "Virtue Tri umphant," and many others--proceeded to the Earl of Carnarvon's with a Vole of Thanks, resolved on at a Meeting of delegates from each Friendly Society. ABINGDON, Nov. 21.—0 n the joyful news of her -most gracious Majesty's triumph arriving hereon Sa turday se nnight, the bells of each of our churches rang a merry peal throughout the day, and an expression of joy pervaded the whole of our population, every heart participating in the glorious triumph her Majesty has achieved over this foul conspiracy. On the Mon day following, our Mayor, Thomas Baker, Esq. gave public notice', that a general illumination should take place on the ensuing Weduesday, " in honour of the Queen," which was cheerfully and universally obeyed I not a building, from our magnificent structure the Market-house, to the cottage of the humblest indi- . vidual, but displayed the usual testimonies of joy, each trying to outvie the other in the blaze of light., The house of William Strange, Esq. displayed a most brilliant star of variegated lamps, together with a profusion of artificial flowers interspersed with laurel, which commanded universal attention. The residence of Thos. West Esq. was beautifully illuminated by a splendid Crown, iii lamps, &c. Among the numerous transparencies, was one at the New Inn,. of a whole length portrait of her Majesty, with appropriate mot toes. Mr. Job Collier's, " Q. C. and Magna Charta— Bill of Rights—Trial by Jury, and the.right of Peti tion, are the glory of Britons, and the bases of civil and religious Liberty." Tornkins and Harris had a very handsome transparency ; in the centre, a Crown, supported by the Rose, Thistle, and Shamrock ; with a device, " The Queen Triumphant, and the Consti tution preserved;" with a variety of others. The town 'was filled from the neighbouring villages, and an ex cellent band paraded the streets, preceded by a per-, son carrying " The filthy Green Bag," which was afterwards burnt in the public square, amidst the execrations of the populace. After the .usual display of. fire-works, bonfires, &c. the evening passed off with out the slightest breach of the peace, or any disturb ance whatever. DEAL.—No sooner had the news of the Quem's acquittal arrived than the town was evidently moved, and the demonstrations of joy became general.— Flags were hoisted, guns fired, music played, and every other Symptom of public rejoicing was exhi bited. A Meeting of the inhabitants, fixed by the Mayor, was held at the Court Hall on Thursday, at which it was resolved to present a congratulatory Address to her Majesty, and Thanks were also voted to the ninety-nine Peers who opposed the Bill of Pains and Penalties, and to Messrs. Brougham, Den man, Lushington, and Wood, for their zealous ser vices and spirited conduct. A love of justice and a warm attachment to her Majesty seemed to pervade the assemblage, and its political feelings were ex pressed in a Resolution hailing "the virtual rejec tion of the Bill of Pains and Penalties by the House' of Peers, and the subsequent abandonment of it by its authors, as oblations to sound principles and pub lic opinion on the part of the Lords and the King's Ministers." Nearly 1200 signatures were affixed to the Address on Saturday, and it is intended to for ward it to Mr. Honywond, the Member for the County, to be presented to the Queen.—The town was very generally and very handsomely illuminated in the evening. Rya, Soso; Nov. 18.—Saturday morning, the 11th instant, when the Mail brought us the glorious intelligence that the odious Bill was thrown out, it excited a lively sensation throughout the town ; the bells began to ring immediately, and every vessel almost in the harbour was decorated with colours the whole day : in the evening a green bag, filled with different combustibles, crackers, &c. was sus• pended on the balcony at the George" Inn, and a fire set to it amidst the hooting and hallooing of a street full of people, and the band playing. ; amthediately after the explosion of the bag, a discharge of twenty one small brass cannon followed, which are kept for such occasions. Afterwards the Courier newspaper was expelled from the Union Reading-room, as being unfit to lie upon their table, ancrThe Times brought by the coach every evening in its room. A Meeting was held at the George Inn, to fix 'upon a day for illumination, when Friday, the 17th, was the day fixed upon; and our town was Lighted up with un common beauty and splendour, there not being half a score houses in the public streets but what let loose their expressions of joy by decorating their window's and houses with lights, transparencies, &c. applicable to the occasion. The effigy_ of Majocchi, holding a transparent lantern in his hands, with .the words " Infamous Majocclii," was carried round the town, followed by a band of music and thousands of people ; after which he was hung by the neck, with his feet in a lighted tar-barrel, and there burnt amidst the huzzas and hooting of the greatest con course of people ever seen in Rye, To mention every device and motto would be almost impossible. The whole was conducted in a very becoming man ner through the whole of the evening, with the ex ception of a few squares broken at five houses, which did not illuMinate. ASERGAVESNY I Nov. 17.—Last Wednesday night, presented a scene of great joy and mirth in this town, on account of the glorious victory which her Majesty the Queen has gained over o. the foulest and most at r cious Conspiracy ever attempted. The streets wers most brilliantly illuminated, and all the inhabitants, with the eiception of an imignifiC;rt,--faw, partici- sated in the general feeling. But . what %fronded In ordinary degree of amusement to the peaceable crowds and the real friends of the Constiteron, were 't')e striking figures of Non nti Ricardo, Be Mont, and _Barhararress, together with a green bag, loade.l with a quantity of the Courier paper. These tree carried about the streets from six till ten o'clock ; atut what highly diverted.the multitude was the peseta , . ing these images of Ministerial fully and iniquity 14 a certain Gentleman, who at first refused, but after wards was, at some expense, compelled to light us his windows, and saying to him, while with fire artrs he was standing sentinel before his door, 4 ‘ Acre i~ yourfriend Make hi come to see you, Sis.; pray look at him," &c. About ten o'clock, a lofty gallows vas erected, on which the traitorous set were hung, and exposed to every possible contempt.; and, lavir; been suspended a considerable time, All sere, in & midst of loud acclamations and music, tousizned to the tames. FA LKlRK.—Tuesday seriniot, this town was bril liantly illuminated, and a band paraded the stye= till one o'clock the following morning, flirying tional airs. ay.—As soon as it was known at Ely, on Satur day se'nnight, that the Bill of Pains and Penalties was withdrawn, al► was immediately joy and bustle. The merry bells rang their cheerful and enliveniv peals the greater part of the day. Tuesday evening was fixed for a general illumination. At a quart= before sir, not a person was to be gen in the streeN, nor a light in ,the windows—all was still as the s(). lain hour of midnig'ht ; b.;t the moment the tows clock struck s►r, every house, without a single ex ception, from the Bishop's Palace to the snud-walled cottage, was illuminated as though by enchantment: and in a little time the streets were filled With vari- ous grouper, who, by a simultaneous movement, hastened to the market-place, where they gazed in astonishment at the splendour which surround:3 them. Oue act of justice was yet to be performed before a general perambulation took place:--Several Gentlemen advanced to the centre of the Market hill, and, amidst the groans and hisses of the assem blage, that vile and wicked tool of corruption, "The Courier Newspaper, was burnt, and the ashes sc,c tered to the wind. After which, every one went as curiosity prompted. The Bishop's Palace was ligluad up. but we cannot say it made a very brilliant ap pearance, though we were glad to see it as it was, being a mark of respect to our most gracious Queer.. The Prebends and Minor Canons all illuminated, and some of them made an imposing appearance. CANLBRIDGE.—The glad tidings of the Queen's triumph over her persecutors, reached this town on Saturday se'nnight, and spread throughout the place with the suddenness of electricity, diffusing a gene ral joy. This was manifested by a partial illumina tion the same evening, and by au universal and splendid one on the following Monday. Nineteen otm of every twenty houses throughout the town bore brilliant testimony of the good and loyal disposition of the inhabitants. The least pleasing part of our task now ensues; it is a detail of the outrages com mitted on the peaceable inhabitants of the town by the Members of the University, and by the base sur render of the privileges of the town by those indivi duals who have sworn to protect them. As soon as it became dusk the illuminations commenced, and many inhabitants left their houses to witness them, wearing white favours, and expressing their satisfac tion by repeated cheering and calling nut the Queen's name ; in this there . was nothing improper; and we feel confident (were we to except the firing of a few squibs) that not even the slightest disturbance would have taken place, had it not been for the riotous and turbulent conduct of a certain privileged class of gownsmen, who, assembling in a body of several hundreds, took possession of the market place, with loud cries of the King's name in their mouths, but breaking his peace with all convenient expedition whenever an object presented itself not strictly conformable with their precise motions of loyalty. For instance, no sooner did the Safety coach ap pear, than the horses were seized, stopped, and plun dered of the white tropes which they bore ; a party of them afterwards suspended an effigy of the Queer to a lamp-iron, in the passage of All Saints Church, the Honourable Mr. L— performing the office of executioner. One was detected throwing a stone through a window, and was pointed out to an Al derman, who refused to take any cognizance of the offence, because it was committed by a gownsman; it may not be improper to observe, that it was the same Alderman who, on a former occasion, applied such gross and indecent epithets to her Majesty. Mr. , of Caius College, also did us the favour of demolishing part of our windows. Many other win dows were broken in the same manner. A labouring man from Girton, received three stabs from a gowns man, inflicted by a sharp instrument affixed to the end of a stick : some of the gownstnen carried large sticks, while some of them had bullets, or pieces of lead, fixed to the bottom of their gowns, which they slung with violence against the people; during all which depredations they marched, as the Editor of the Courier says, in close columns, six abreast, per forming their wbeelings and evolutions with a mili tary precision. "What more than this, we ask, did those people do, who were so cruelly slaughtered at Manchester? —Cambridge Press. T— Tb THE EDITOR OF VIE SCAR.
