An Address of Congratulation to her 'Majesty. from Heath and its vicinity, was unastitil, , :i.:t 5..:11.1441, and numerously signed, by a most respectable meeting. convened in the Town hull, Neigh, on Monday, the 9.oth instant. The business havinir been regularly. opened by the Portrerse. OEOROE TENNANT, Esq., proceeded to address the meeting, is energetic and impresbive terms, un the nature of its object, and the legitimate sources of congratnlation opened to every loyal British subject, by the defeat of the late ungeralleled and unconstitutional measures against the Queen. — He warmly reprobated the principle of making the degradation of the Queen of England a quettion de pending on mural conduct, as a precedent p ant with the most serious mischief to all the othePlnem hers of the Royal Family, and to the stability of our iionarchy. He would not ge the length of an asser tion that no case could possibly arise, in which sound policy and propriety might dictate the impeachment of Kinga. or a Queen of this country at the High Tri• banal of the State ; hut he would maintain, that, if sub a case shonld ever occur, it !mist be one of evi dence so clear, so palpable to the common understand. lag and simplest perceptions of the nation. that not the wrangling. of Counsel, week after week, should be required to sift the evidence : but that an open, judicial inquiry, of twenty four hours should suffice to establish it in the opinion of the whole people. Mr. Tennant read the Address with great energy and feel ing, and it receiced the unanimous approbation of the meeting. The Rev. D. Dtets accompanied his motion with same excellent and well-timed remarks on the identity vf the Queen's cause with that of the whole British people, and the safety of our constsiuted a►tthorities. He declared his attachment to the form of tiorerntnent established in out Realm, under the joint and indivi sible contronl of .King, Lords, and Commons; and reptobated the pretence of regard for public morals in bringing forward the late measures against the Queen. Mr. E. Waring observed, that, feeling deeply and ardently as he did on the subject before him, he could not be satisfied merely to submit a resolution to the meeting. It was on principles of sound and sincere attachment to the Constitution of his country, to her Monarchy, and her Laws, that he bad felt it his duty to appear with such a degree of publicity on this mo nreolous occasion. If he had not felt that attachment, If he bad not considered that Monarchy and those Laws imminently endangered by the late Bill, he s'.ould not go conspicuously have manifested his inte. plat in its fate. He cordially united with the gentle tnen who had preceded him iu their views of the sub. feet. He did think it the duty of honest, peaceable, and loyal men. openly to ewes' their disapprobation of such mischievous measures, that, so far as their opt- Aline were concerned, they might cheek the progress of anarchy and disaffection. If any malt 11 . Mitt! to see the Constitution perish, he would act in character, when his voice was called for on an occasion like the present by holding his peace Mr. W. declared his admiration of the stigsille•L forcible. anti Constitutional language sit the Aildrts., end I..peil It would give a tone to si milar Add from other places in the principality. By adopting its spirit, we should most effectually re psi the contemptible minutiae* of those who treat the friends of their Blau Queen, and Constitution, so li berally with the epithets of "Radicals" and "Demo. erste."

Paisley, N0r.44, 1410. Sta.--1 ha►e taken the liberty of transmitting yeta the particulars concerning the celebration here ' of that glorious triumph, the abandonment of the *' Silt of Pains and Penalties against our much injurer! aid pereersted Queen. It was on Monday the news arrived in this town, Wary eye sparkled with joy, and the enthusiasm of 'lke people exceeded every thing ever witnessed here fir a bloodstained victory. On the Tuesday evening, a pattial illaminatinn took plant, when the Dragoons were ordered to patrole the streets with drawn swords; this created a gloom on the minds of many who still thought they bean! the shrieks sounding in their ears of those sabred at Man chester. However, nothing material happened. Many of the inhabitants being taken by surprise did not illuminate ; but, on the day following, preparations commenced, and on Friday evening the illuminations were general. In the costive of the day, a procla *sties of rather a spiteful satire wan issued by autho rity, prohibiting the minor rejoicings on such like occasions ; bat in defiance of every menace, the peace was kept by the people; it is but justice to state here TEE ST ATESNIAN. the behaviour of the dragoons, it was beyond all praise. With the exception of eight or nine houses, the residence of magistrates and x few others, the town was in a universal Wan. Mr. Lowndes's mansion, in Sntedon-street, ay ise.ired as if on lire, being adorned in front with torchee; this gentleman, accompanied by a few others, in the course of the evening. came out j in the front of the house and drank the queen's health amidst the cheers of the people. 111ajocehl and Madame I/moat were suspended in one of the Streets, ! and amongst the many transparencies and allegorical exhibitions, the following were the moat prominent that I observed:— Tea SCALES or JUSTICE.—Truth weighing down a Green Bag of lies, under this insrripti.'n—" The Lord shall judge between thee and the wife of thy youth, for thou bast dealt very treacherously with her." AN E.ll 'nem or rue Queata.—lnscription—•• No won der that I celebrate this glorious triumph, they con ceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood, and digged a pit into which they fell." Device.—A certain personage riding upon a log of wood, and sawing it asunder, with his toot upon a crown and over his head this inscription—" t t thou fool thy labour will prove thy downfall." The following created much laughter . A Monkey iuAtle of a it inflow playing with a Green Bag tied to his neck. Device, A Stairs Toterm—inscription—" Though the wicked join hand in hand, they shall not go °nee- Milted. for vengeance is mine Audi will repay it, sagas the Lord." A beautiful emblem of Justice trampling Majocchi and Madame Demont, &c., under her feet with her sword elevated, supported on her right by Carnarvon, Grey, Erskine, Hamilton, Arvll, and l.einster, and un her left, by liroaghatn, Denman, Lushington, Williams, Wood, anti Tyndal. Tom SCALU or JUSTICI.—The Bishop of Canterbury, the Green Bag, and Lauderdale, weighed down by a feather.

Let the people praise thee I) Lord, let all the people praise thee." The streets were crowded to excess; and what added to the splendo:ir of the !were was a brilliant display of fireworks, particularly the ascension of an illuminated balloon, its appear:me.. was truly 'obligee ; it went off in stele, passed over the town amidst the shouts of the populace, taking an easterly direttion, it was seen fur four minutes, till it vanished in the air. When it descended, the fullowitig lines were found written : Away to Heaven swift I flew, To hear what Jove would any ; Go down, said he, t►y worthily new, filuspeuil Lord C-11. And if you And that will nut do To tiring about Reform, benne your Queen, at her desire, send the Goal of storm home future day. A CONST INT READER. Your'4. TO THE EDITOR OF THE. STATESMAN. Probably no county in England has %hewn more gene- , ral rejoicing on the abandontecut of the infamous pro ceedings against the Queen, than the small county of Hereford. In every town, village, and hamlet, the most enthusiastic demonstrations of ay were openly displayed. Illuminations. bonfires, bells ringing. flees on the steeples—rejoicings of event kind, betokenea the gene ral feeling of the people. In nuns) paiishei, sheep were roasted whole anti distributed to the poor, and the deli , dons county beverage--cydre, was every where most plentifully given atorty-by the kissers h Ili mons. ' On the arrival of the western onnooneing the joyful titling., lousiness of every kind almost entirely ceased, bursts of acclamation rent the air, no face bore the as pect of gloom, excepting the besotted a.lherents of the disgraces! administration ; small parties of whom might be seen eying askance the bleziese windows, and with rand conntenances mournfully observing the universal Inv. To the exultat;on of the moment, was joined a strong and deep reeling of indignation alpinist the principal movers in the nefarious business; and its not a few places in the county, the sacred persons of 01.1 Bags, Derry down Triang,le, 3lnshl'epos'', be. were hung in effigy on the same gallows with Majorehl, Hasten', Satan, Deniont, and the other worthies of the (been Rag. In the village of Mordiford, hundreds of persons assembled on the night of the Rills instant, on Ilse summit of Rackberry, a hill of considerable elevation, to witness the erection of •a gibbet, 30 feet high, on which, in due time, was snspended in chains, a portly lordly figure with a ofillsione round his neck, which haring been hung for some hoursovas formally committed to the dames, ist the applareding flifttitS of the maltitade. Tise following dogged verses were sung on the occa sion Now su MEN . % (cone, and waiter's here, This blazing lire shall aripenr. And show to all the eostatry round, If Lords are runes', me are *ousel. The city of Hereford warmly participated in the vs neral joy on her Majesty's triumph, soli is spite of every opposition, her citizens hare fearlessly expressed their zealous attachment to their persecnted tilllPll. No less than four addresses have marked their decided comic. Lion of the innocence of the noble Caroline. The young men, the female inhabitants, ar operative me. clsanics, the freemen resident its London, have all laid the tribute of their homage at the feet of their Queen. One more address was required—ose of Congratuiatiou on her escape from her enemies. A requisition (the most respectably aliened that had ever been witnessed in the city), was presented to the Mayor, who, to the surprise of the inhabitants, returned , an answer so jesaistietri and weiatelligible, that it the public meeting, subsequently called by therequisitionisttis, and at which the rather of the City and sesiur trate presided, a vote of censure, by a vast malority, was pained against him. "'llse Address of the 3 agistrate, Freemen, and Inhabitant'," has already been signed by upwards of one thousand persons; and it would not be difficult to point out gentle:nee, whose names are afh tubed to it, whose fended and landed property would amount to more that right hundred thousand pounds. Amongst the names will be found 4 City Magistrates, 9 Members of the Corporation, 1 County Magistrates, 5 Clergymen, 4 Rankers, and ;testily 410 Freemen of the City, with a considerable number of the principal professional gentlemen and tradesmen. The whin.., m a signatures were very properly left for pebiie inspertims at the principal booksellers shop in the city, that no false anti malicious report of a " mob or rabble" having been the promoters of the measure, might be propagate(' by the anti -royal and disloyal part of the connuttesity. The two City Members, the Hon. J. S. Cocks , and R. P. Scodarnore, Esq. have been regoested to present the address to her Majesty, amid it is expected that a number of the Hereford freemen resident la Leedom will join the deputation. Nothing eats exceed the rage which. this numerously signed address and rule of censure has excited iu the minds pt' keertain class of persons in Hereford (not the working etas), but styling themselves " Church and King" men, who, with angry countenances and vindic tive hearts, bare watched the progress of popular opinion, and vainly attempted to stem the torrent of public feeling. No dirty means have been left uatried to prevent signatures being affixed. One angry gentle man, near relative of the Mayor, rides fotrionsly to the city, usauttanimously goes round to his tradesmen, who unhappily had attended the meeting, peremptorily or ders hts bills, discharges the paltry debt, quarrels with his own family, and gets laughed at, for this contempti ble display of petty u►alice,by a whole county. Ano ' titer, whose eats arc too refined to bear the continual rini;i.•.; of bells, hurries in a rage to the church, orders the ringers to desist, closes the doors, and fur his pains 1 gets the hisses and execrations of the parish. The language cf Billingsgate, which hitherto Lad been supposed the exclusive property of the vulgar, has of late been adopted by turn, calling themselves gentle men, who, without hesitation or shame, apply to their Queen, epithets which heretofore could only be found in the vocabulary of the lowest and meanest of mankind. One of these gentlemen (fortunately for the credit of the city, a new settler ht it,) meeting an old and res pectable tradesman who h:►d been signing the address, accosts him in the public street, with these words, " Su I see yon are for that damdd —, the Qtrre:: to which the tradesman, more gentlemanlike, ►.,dieel, " sir, lam for truth and justice." A deposition on oath of this fact, has b►en taken before the worthy senior magistrate of Hereford, and forwarded to her Majesty's legal advisers, who it is hoped, will take such steps as may roneince this gentleman of the truth of that old proverb, "a close tongue makes a wise head." It may be proper to remark, that this worthy gentleman had the singular good fortune to be so well and entirely be loved be the inhabitants of a neighbouring town, where be resided many years, that on his quitting that place, the bells for some Clays were busily employed in sounding joyful peals on the occasion, and on a subsequent short return to it, a mournful peal of mailed bells announced the melancholy intellit,►cnre. Your readers will doubtless he gratified, by learning' that the Comfier newspaper, that wretched tool of a cor rupt administration, has so disgusted the good sense of the people of Hereford, by its infamous and slanderous calumnies of the beloved Queen Consort of these realms, that with the exception of one coffee-house (where its malignancy is mitigated by more liberal papers being taken in) it has been kicked out of every inn and public house in the whole c7ty, and has been re-placed eve 7 where. except in the solitary instance before mentioned. by those firm sod well-known constitutional champions of independence. the Statesman, &c. &c. Nor. 25, AN OLD CORRESPONDENT. CEREMONIAI. A.VD SOLE.II:?ITY YESTER DAY, IN S 7. P.WLS. The large apace occupied in our colnnins yesterday! by the details of her Majesty's procession, having cow pelled us to omit an acconnt of the solemi.ities in the! Cathedral, and the actual course of the ceremonial having been somewhat different from the plan which had been announced, we take occasion to subjoin the following particulars, for the purpose of rendering our statement of the proceedinge of that memorab'e ; day complete. ! The members of the Committee were dressed in their midair.' robes, each of them wearing a large rosette of white riband on his left breast, and hearing a white wood, 'the upper part of which was gilt, and orna ;Rented with wreaths of artificial dowers, surmounted with a white silk rosette. The Bishop's throne and the Dean's seat were not occupied at all, both these samossed dignitaries having written to the Lord llitylirrohibitingtisem (rota being used. The seat appropriated to her Majesty's use on this occasion was the one uniformly occupied by members of the Royal family, and called the Bishop's seat: it is situated in the middle of the choir, on the south side. The cor responding seat on the opposite side of the choir was set apart for the Lord Mayor. The Countess Oldi,l Madame Felice, Mr. Austin, and others, occupied from an early hour one of the right side seats, between the door and her Majesty's seat. The Committee of 6U ladieA, who were in attendance to receive her Majesty, took their seats on the forms I placed in front of the communion-table. They were all, • with two exceptions, dressed in white, their bats de- roosted with white ribanils, and white veils hanging ; gracefully on their shoulders and bosoms. The effect produced by seeing so nanny beautiful and elegant fe- nodes uniformly dressed, and seated together, was peculiarly striking and pleasing. ' Just us these ladies had taken their seats behind the pulpit, we observed with regret the only act of in decorum that was committed during the while day— the exhibition that was inconsistent with the so lemnity of the occasion. Whi!e every other person within the choir was evincing Cie solemn demeanour ,which was *becoming to the house of Hod, the Rev. Dr. Hughes entered one of the side-stalls, and bens j to address the Committee of the Common-Commit in a loud and angry tone of remonstrance. The Rev. Soh:- dean stated, that an agreement had been entered into with the Committee that the gates should bo opened to the public at a quarter before 12 o'clock; but be now found that the roustablee who had been station ed at the gates had received orders not to admit the people till the gneen arrived. This he loudly com plained of as a violation of the couditions to which the Committee had acceded. Uwe of the Committee observed that, althesgh a spatter before twelve might have been the time men tioned at which the gates would be opened to the pub lic, still the Committee acted within the spirit Of the agreement, since the only object of prevent's/ the promiscuous entrance of the public before twelve o'clock was to avoid soars psitsolitre inside as wool 4 re n der it tosposable 14 her •Mujesty to pose Adler wit comfort or with safety. Dr. Hughes, apparently irritated, reiterated his complaint that the agreement was violated. The conduct of the 7ealous Canon drew from the persons assembled in the choir very unequivocal 'pop. toms of disapprobation : but the goad sense of the congregation was ptoof against every atitlfire resorted to fur the purpose of occasioning a tumult. Her Majesty was attended, by the Hon. Keppel Craven, Sir Robert • Mr. Hume, M.P., Mr. Habitats; M.P.. and several other persons of dia -1 tinction. As her Majesty approached, Mr. Attwalid; the or ganist, perfumed a voluntary, and one of Moan's fugues.
