THE STATESMAN nes of this place from being shewn. In the course of' the week upwards of twenty sheep have been roasted • in different parts of the town, and bonfires, tiring: of runs, and tea parties amongst the females, have been the order of the day. On Monday sheep! were roasted near the West Bridge, in the North: Nate-street, Uniou-street, and near St. Nicholas', where ) a Breen Bag decorated with appropriate inscriptions ? was committed to the flames. On Tuesday. Humber-, stone Bate, Belgrave Bate, and Church Gate followed! the example ; and on Wednesday, Iltorsepool-street: joined in the saute tokens of rejoicing. On Thursday: a similar demonstration of public (siding was exhi-1 bited in York-street and the London-road; and in the evening an effigy of the notorious 3lajocchi was dig-, played Isssnr to a gallows, which after being carried' through the principal streets, was burnt over a barrel of pitch near the Assembly Booms, amidst the accla mations of the assembled multitude. It seems that small parcels of gunpowder were fixed in differea parts of the effigy, and as these were discharged luwl shouts of P o ll asl ri ,, trdo rent the air. Yesterday' evening an effigy of jr me sac rappelle pas Demons, made the same ign ((((( inious exit in another part of I the town. On Wednesday next a dinner will take plate at the Bell Nolte, to celebrate the death cf the Bill of Pains and Penalties, which is expected to be nume rously and tespectably attended. Ihe bells of most of the villages in the county rang a merry peal on Saturday, and all elcsses were eager to join in the general joy. At Melton, several of the inhabitant• illuminated their houses on the happy occasion, and other demonstrations of joy were liberally displayed. At Asbby-sie-la-'touch the intelligence was first receiv ed through the medium of the Chronic'', and occa sioned the Most joyous satisfaction. ACCOUNTS RECEIVED BY THIS DAT'S POST.

In the parish of St. James's ttt Na g was immediately hoisted on the church, and the bells rang nearly the whole of the day. In the Abbey Parish every effort was made by the eleurch wardens. (one of whom is an upholder, who was employed by the late Queen, and the other an inn-keeper), to retain the keys of the ckurch. The demand of the parishioners, became too strong to he resisted, aad the streamer was buisti if, and the hells rang during the Jay. Ihe same took place in each of the other pa ti parti..s reit!' hands of tunsir have been paratl i:4 th-ottzli the streets this last three nights, and grzat preparations are nun making for a general Ulu tnivation this evening. Our proverbially immaculate a.. 1 sapient hotle-corporate, view the proceedings that are passing with feelings corresponding. to their heads azd hearts, they have used every effort to check that ct nliton which will ever be manifest in honorable anti honest hearts at the triumph of justice, user fiats I and oppression. 'I lie miserable and pett acts of this temputizing body is truly laughable ; all ti.at malignity couldsuggest bare been put in practice, to thwart and it titata the public mind, men singing songs on the Queen have been taken np ; childten blowing burns iu the streets liars had them seized, and the white cocl.ades have been torn from their hats by the police othrers; and to crown the whole, the fol lowing preciims document %sus left at every house, by the Mayor's °dicers l..st night tit/I.DVALL. RATU, Nov. 15, 'bill/. "The Magistrates of this City, and of the Division of Batlifortnn, give this Public Notice, " That the Report of the intended Illuminationfon Thursday, did not originate with them, nor does it meet with their approbation; as the prosperity of Bath, the resort of so many invalids, materially depends ou the prmtervatiun of its order and tranquillity. N. B. Families are requested to keep their **ants at home." _ _ Ou 31onday, at Comb-Down, near Bath, the event was celebrated by illuminations, bon-fires, and fire works, and the inhabitants met and partook of an ex et:lent snpper. At Bristol the illumination were ge neral, and the exultation unbounded. At CoWham. a village near Bath, two barrels of beer were given t o the inhabitants by Mr. Sampson, brewer ; every house was i'litminated, except the clergyman's. At Catharine Botton, near this city, a dinner takes place to-day, of the %hole of the inhabitants, and a general illumination. Indeed the whole of this part of the country has manifested their abhorrence of the fiend like persecution in a manner truly honorable. CANIMDCS. LITTER It. node. November 17 1 IRO. Su—The enclosed was too late for the Post yes.l terday, I am therefore enabled to give your readers sonic account of the illniniiiatious that took place last Theo were for die most part general, not one house in a dozen omitting. 'I he Body Corporate 0,..0gi1t proper to take an offerishe attitude, and yt......re in all persons over whom they had any Colltlol, as special cousiablcs. The recruiting parties, cavalry and rifle corps, were ordered on duty, and two troops of 1•311C1`Irs were sent for from Bristol, and two com pinies of the Somerset Militia. With this formidable body, they thought to overawe the people; and such a ,erne of tumult took place, that has nut been wit nessed within this city before. Many of the Guild hall windows were broken. Hobby, a grocer, and Matchelor, a draper, two Corporation expeetants, alto Webb, a chemist, bad some of their windows broken. The confusion did nut end until two o'clock in the morning; and with less moderation on the part of the people, we should hare witnessed here another Manchester affair. Thus has this respectable city been thrown into ditor.ler by the very power appointed fur the preservation of peace. Nu acci c!ent of consequence occurred, except uue man, who had his arm .astuch lacerated. All is now quiet. The following members of the Corporation illunii rated their houses:.-111syler, Editor of the Herald ; Crottwell, Editor of the Chronicle; Phillutt, banker ; and Anderton, apothecary. CANDIDUS. P. S. Since writing the above. I kern that a con siderable number of oto.t respectable tradesmen were excessively ill•nsed ; nee severely est by a Cavalry man. About fifty in nnu.her were taken up and are now at the Guildhall; I am not yet informed , of the result. I assure yon the city was for the whok night under martial , law. A Clergyman was sworn in as a specisi constable, and made himself particularly officions!!! The towns of Trowbridge and Ihnlnster illutni w.te to night. A man, named Tneker. was taken tip and mule to pay the sum of I!. 14s. for posting one Qmwn's answers to the !lath Moire*, 3g•ainst a watch.ltux, which is fitted against St. 31ichae;'s Church. ii.t.rolvATtons ix SCOTLAND.—in Ftilinhitrgh on Tuesday and 11'ednesday the windows of a very few in dividuals were lighted up. The only transparency we noticed was at the Bazaar, a liwire of nrsblintled Justice, t►nth preponderating in the scale nuinst per jury and slander, superscribed " Innocence must tri umph." The colours were displayed on hoard the Vegßel% in Leith harbour, on Monday; and we 'twit-wind that some of the villages to the eastward were illuminated. A correspondent from Trento's, who of.svreee, " as we were behissol in addressing we vt islird to he atnong the first in illuminating," sends us tb6 following ac count of the rejoicings in that village : " The public opinions of the failure of the late un fortunate Bill which bas so long occupied the atten tion of the House of Lords, and cost hoisesaJohis Bull such an immense sans of money, n•as strongly expressed in the village of Traneiit en Tuesday even ing, 14th curt.; with the exception of three honses, the whole village containing about (,thou inhabitant., was spontaneunsly and brilliantly illuminated, and various devices were to Ise seen, expressive of the feel ings on the occasion: a bonfire was kindled ; a large band of young men, with white favours, preceded by music, paraded the streets shouting " Lung live Queen Carolitie !" and every face beamed with juiy. .1 nuirsher of the inhabitants repaired to the Plough Inn and drank the health of her Majesty—The Queen's Counsel—Lord Erskine, ke. with enthusiasm. They hail the failure of the late proceedings as the triumph of innocence, justice, public opinion, and truth, and l•ray Os they have all along prayed for the Qnven) that all future I irs of pains and penalties may share a similar late. `• WY it the least disturbance or acci dent. except the breaking of four lanes of glass in the unlighted houses." From the ancient capital of Sentland we have re ceived the following very interesting report : to Yu:May last the intelligent., reached Perth, that Lord Li veri•otil had withdrawn the Hill of Pains and Penalties against the Queen, by moving that it be read a tioi time six months hence. In the after noon of the slay, till. people manifested a strong in clination to tes:if:.• their approbation of the measure by an illumination. Try honourable the Provost and Ala t :istratcs, iiith their visual and praiseworthy at tention to the i-rctini •tances of the comninnity, treiliately ism: el a ur•wl.iination, certilying to the in habitants, that all who chime to illuminate on the occasion, had their full permission to do so, and that those o lit, mi g ht no: find theni , .. l Aes at liberty to do it, would be prote:•Nil. .` .; le. from sic o'clock io ten, there oas an 11:111,l:latiotl, certainly nut general, but nearly pi', sa d tally sufficient to 'hew the ruidial whirl' the Feople felt in the disposal of the bill. In sume quarters of the town th e windons wete der. , ruted with considerable taste, and displayed the green Lig with appropriate humour. The crott d in the street was considerable, consisting of all classes anti ages. There arc usually on such occasions a Unlillier t,f turbulent spirits who demonstrate the warmth of their real is the cause celebrated, by ascuilting the !ter and lonises of their neighbours, and eniisting in their train the young mid unwary. Front such the town was completely free. The utmost 'oil humour prevailed Universally. The provost and majstrites were in the streets during the whole of the ill 'nation, and had ordered the constables to be in readiness to suppress any disturb ance which might occur; but happily fur the credit of our townsmen, their scrvices were neither required nor called fu... Several of the neklibilitring villages were also illu minated in testimony of the joy with which they re ceived the news of :he slay. Wr regret, however, to that some disturbance took place in Crieif, in con sequence of the mob having assailed the house of those who declined illuminating on the occasion. A consitleraltie number of wlrse.osss were broken, but no other outrage was cos eeeee Wed. Our Correspundent ut Falkirk states—.. When the news reached this town that the Bill of Pains and Penal ties against the Q•teen was laid aside, there was a gene ral expression of satisfaction anti joy. A number of the respectable inhabitants wished to expr e ss their &sib tics in a public manner by illuminating their houses. This was keenly opposed by a few instil-14state, wide& only made thesis the snore determined ; and having ob tained permission, it was advertised on Tuesday that the town would be illuminated that evening frous seven till nine u'rlock. The town's b e lls e •ed a merry peal at seven, and in a few minutes the windows, with a few exceptions, were all up, and the Illumination was, I believe, snore general than any ever witnessed. The streets were crowded by the ialialwants and a num• her of people from the country ; a great proportion of the crowd consisted of well•dressed females, who scented much interested on ►hr occasion. The streets were as light as risid-day, lanes and closes not excepted; and assail Falirk with her surroundioq villages neser per haps exhibited a more delightful' scene. A hand of am atenrs played several national airs, allying which the King's anthem was well receive.l. What enhanced the whole was the harmony which pervaded all classes. The proper authorities were in early attendance, and were spared the necessity of exercising any obnoxious power. No riot, or even disposition to riot appeared—a eirensitstaace very itneommois among such a concourse of people. The King and Queen's health was drank is toeing bumpers in many houses, and the crowd dis persed with evident marks of heartfelt satisfaction. On Tuesday the greatest joy was evinced at Callen der, in euusequenc.. of the recounts having arrived that the bill against the Queen was abandoned by Mi nisters. In the evening the inhabitants ass e mbled, and made a large bonfire in the square ; the whole vil lage was lailliantly illuminated, and the church bells kept ringing. A figure, illuminated by torch light, emblematical of the Queen ur.•reorning her enemies, was borne aloft, and paraded along the streets, prece ded by the enlivening strains of our national music, and followed by a great concourse e.f persons of all ages, shouting" Long live the Quee.i l" "1.1%e Queen Caroline for ever !•' Aftes pas•ini the evenieer, in de monstrations of joy, at a late liimr the people sepa rated, and retired quietly to their homes. 'l•he Calton, adjoining Glasgow, the illumination was repeated, and every thing passed off with the greatest good humour. On Tuesday evening Pollockshaws seas splendidly and generally illuminated. In Paisley, there oas a partial illumination on the same evening. Stewartun leas also illuminated, and all was happi ness and harmony. Wednesday night, under the authority of the Pro vost and Magistrates of Rutherglen, that aterielet bo rough was illuminated with the greatest ler:lliancy. Every house was lighted up. 'I he bells were rung, and a huge bonfire blazed at the Cross. The Bur gesses of Itutherglen pos.essin t r a free constitution never eater into public undertakings without the coo• currence of the Magistrates. Toecesnav, Nov. 16, Foca oTe.oca.

Nov. 17.—Last night, in pnrstiance of an advertisement issned by the Queen's Plate Committer, in this town, a public meeting WAS holden in the Tork's Head Long Room (Mr. st . . A. Mitchell, of the 1 cue Mercury office, in the chair,) to consider of flat propriety of congratulating the Queen on the termination of the proceedings against her. The room was exceedingly lull. After the chairman had opened the business, Mr. Eneas Mackenzie, in a long speech, took a review of the whole of the Qnee.,'s lite, from which lie detlin-e.l his conviction of her innocence. Mr. E. Fermi k at tempted to answer some put of Mr. M.'s speech which regarded the constitution, but the clamour in the roost prevented his beinz heard. The efforts of the chairman and the other leaders were exerted in vain to obtain a hearing from Mr. F. The chairman then moved a' series of resolutions which bail previously been printed. They are nine in nenstier. The first condemns bills of pains and penalties generally; the 2nd that against the Queen in particular. The :ird condemns the espion age and previous measures a gainst her Majesty. The ith praises her magnanimity, and the fearlessness with which she met the charges against her. The Zitli eulo gises her benevolence of h tart. The 6tli alludes to the' conduct of the press, and those peers n ho have defended the Queen. The 7th to her Majesty's condescension to the industrious cl ; and the th proposes an address of congratulation founded on the above. The resolu tions were seconded by Mr. H. Atkinson, and passed with great applause. .Ir. Marshal then moved the ad dress, which was seconded by Mr. Oilman, draper, in Mosley Street, and numeronsly agreed to. A resolu tion of thanks to Lords Lansilown, Grey, Erskine, oarvon, ice. was moved by Mr. Teaselarr. of the Qmay, sod passed unanimously. Mr. Teesdale then proposed thanks to hlesars.lilirongbans and Denman; but this was rejected with load disapprobation. Thaoks were then voted to the chairman and the meeting dispersed. We understand that a requisition to the Mayor is in circulation in this town for signatures, relpiesting his worship to call a public meetin. , in the I to con sider of the propriety of an address of the inhabitants to her Maje-sty. On Totrulay last, a meeting was holden in the Town Hall at Altstrick and an address to the Right Hon. Earl they, muted and carried for his late exertions in the House of Peers. TO THE EDITOR OP THE STATESNIAN. Sta,—Hasing read its the Courier, dated Thursday evening, Nov. 16, I'2O, a gross misrepresentation of the joy manifested by the inhabitants of the City of ' Winchester, on the ahem' iiiii uent of the Bill sif Pains and Penalties against her Majesty; and altliong's 1 have also read in the Statesmen of this day, Nov. 19, a more ac curate account, still I think for the credit of the Inhabitants of this venerable and ancient city, the honour slue to her Majesty's person and cause, the falsehood of the Courier should be refuted by a plain statement of facts as they really occurred. I therefore beg leave to lay before you and the esiblic, an exact account of the mat.ner in which the in habitants of this ancient city conducted them selves on the occasion of the Queen's acquittal. On Saturday morning ss hen the news reached us, that the abominable Hill against her Majesty was ejected from the House of Peers, joy spread over the counte nances of all the principal inhabitants, am! tbs. 1):•11s of the different parish elm -cites rung merry peals through out the slay. Early on Monday morning the C..mm►itt:.c of the Unites! Parishes of St. Maurice and St. Pete7's, Cullwook, who hail previons to this moved and sent an Address to her Majesty, expressed a wish, that the two parishes oa this momentous occasion should man:fest their public feeling by illuminating their houses in the evening, leaving other inhabitants to as they pleased. This accordingly took plate, and happy au► I to say the example was followed by the Bishop of Hereford, Dr. Cabel, the Collet.•, and the whole city, except the clergy who reside in the close, and a few others resident in the city. The principTel inhabitants of the two united parishes in the evening uset in their comu►itte , room, and were joined by several gentlemen of other parishes. An excellent band of nansie played 'several martial airs, malty loyal and appropriate toasts Ml* drank, and the greatest joy, conviviality, and good humour prevailed. At nine o'clock the company, shoat forty in number, preceded by the band. paraded tho town to view their neighbours' real its the Queen's caner, and peaceably returned after an hour's ahetner. It is true, and the Committee lament that the mob, each as generally assemble at all illuminations, broke a few windows of those persons who did not think proper Ito light them.
