ILLUMINATIONS. The rapidity with which the fate of the Bill against the QUEEN was circulated yesterday through every part of the town is incredible. In less than half an hour it was universally known in every part of the metropolis. The whole town exhibited more then usual animation. A smile of eatisfactiou mantled on every cheek, and the female countenance particularly was lighted up with joy. An illumination was generally contemplated to crown the night, and a great portion of the town lost no time to make preparations for it. Several of the squares and streets at the west end of the town were lighted up at en early hoer; many of them displayed festoons and variegated lamps in a taste ful style; but the appearance was scattered and irregular, and it was not until parties of the popu lace traversed the town in all directions, cryin7 out " the QUEEN for ever !" and calling upon the inhabitants to light up, that the town presented any thing like a general illumination. These parties, consisting of men, «•omen, and boys, were very vociferous, and in very few instancee were their demands refused. Redford-square, Oxford-street, Tottenham Court-road, Great Russell-street, and the surrounding neighbourhood, made a most bril liant display. Fire-works of every description an noyed the passengers. Some of the windows exhibited transparencies and placards, inscribed, " The Queen Triumphant !" The hackney-coachmen were obliged to mount white favours, and ordered by the populace to take off their hats and give a shout for the Queue as they pas+ed. The drivers of the sese-al stage coaches leaving Loudon also decorated themselves, by placing white favours on their horses' heads and flames*, and in their hats, and likrwise their rahio, in order to announce the QUEEN'S triumph. The police were on the alert, in couae'luent•e of orders received by the persons connected with the peliee establislnuents. They were no where so tie ce.sary as in that part of the Strand which is the principal seat of the Daily Newspaper*. While all the inhabitants of the place, including even The Sun office, the consistent, and purely t mate Ministerial Print, lighted up at the approach of the populace demanding lights, The Courier office refused emnpliatice, and remained in dark nee*. The populace became incensed, and from limning and groans, proceeded to h,reak the windows. There was a large force of constables in front of the house, but they were not sufficient to restrain the outrage. A little after eight o'clock a detachment of horse guards, and of the horse patrol, made their appearance, and continued to traverse that part t•f the Strand until about half-past ten o'clock, wh n tram - 1.41114 was perfectly restored. During this interval lare parte* of the populace followed the military huzzaing arid shouting, " the QUEEN ! t h . QUEEN !" amid at one time a placard was exhibited in The Courier office window, amiounving that the Riot Act had been read.— Fortimatele, however, the populace &hewed no div position to further violence, and the military bore this very harassing and annoying service with patience and good temper. A few farthing candles in the windows of The Courier office, would have prevented all this trouble and confusion. We can not excuse the conduct of any individual, what ever his political feelings and sentiments may be, shu would tl.us endanger the safety of his neigh bours, the public peace, and the lives of the populace, and spew himself' ready to make so great a sacri fice to his olAtinacy. It is not our intention to advo- rate the acts of violence committed, they can not be too strongly condemned ; but carer. thing was due to the enthusiasm of the popu lace, so strongly excited by the triumph of her MAJESTY, and we do not think that The Cowrie► office would have lust any character for coinage or consistency if it had put up a few lights like The Sans and its other neighbours. Between half-past ten and eleven o'clock the fol. lowing occurrence took place at Charing-cress : A large crowd had assembled discharging fire-works and applauding such individuals as had lights in their windows in houour of the QUEEN. The house of one person (aa army-clothier) became a particular object with the pupate/lei who were a considerable - time calling upon the owner to light up, but tiudiog their cries disregarded, they commenced an attack upon the windows, many of which they demolished. Whilst the crowd were thus employed, a man of good appearance rushed amongst them with a dagger, about fuurtee►t inches long, iir his right hand, with which he began indiscrimiiritely to stab all about him, and wounded several peesenis very severely. A maw received a thrust throu4l4 the palm of the hand, a boy was stabbed in the cheek, sod a great many others had their clothes reat'hy stabs aimed at their bodies.— The panic Muds the imiaduct of this violent person •truck into the populace, caused them to disperse in all direction•, and uoone seemed inclined to oppose hi s .araer. At length .young nisei made a rush at him, and grappled with him a while, belt was, by the su perior streesgt le of his opponent, at length compelled to desist, sod look to his personal surety. How. ewer, his conduct had the effect of inciting others, and some one shouted,. " Fall on the villain alto '..rether." The person who held the dagger seemed Alarmed ter nrsinfety-, and Of the relief guard was ;not then pssi.-g;'hierdatied in - stwongst thein, and 141 d countd.i , •g which was not audible,. but was thought to ba an appeal for pram:ties ; bet the soldiers passed on eitisciat regarding him, sad as that moment a youth, who tripped up his heels sad instantly threw himself over him, wrested the murderous weapon livre his grasp. and immediately placed it in his bosom, between his waistcoat and shirt. There was • violent rush at she moment, and such an anxiety manifested to behold the dagger. that the person who had been the cause of the mis chief and disturbance, slipped off. The person who took the weapon persisted iu keeping it. and finally took it home with him: it was a•Midahip man's dirk, and war in good repair. The attack on the house of the Gentleman before alluded to then increased and continued with unabated ardour, till a detachment of the Life Guards and a division of the mounted patrol came up. A partial cessa tion then took place. and continued till the military had passed, amidst loud hissing and clapping of hands. when it was again renewed. At It o'clock the tumult had not subsided. A DELPHI THEATRE. The Bartlett* of Errors was performed last night at this theatre. This pleasant little piece is • ju. dicious compression of DRYDEN'', comedy of Am phytrion ; or, the Two Susie,. The character of Alemeria was sustained by a fair candidate for pub lic favour, who appeared, for the first , in the same piece • few slights ago. She executed the airs allotted to her with great sweetness anti effect, and was considerably applauded. After the per formance of the celebrated demo dance, by Mr. W•LBoURN, in the character of Illahomei, the whole of the audience stood up, uncovered, amid gave three times three cheers for the Queetv. The calls impost the music for " God sane the Qmeen," be ing loud and vehement, the Massager came forward, and, by way of meeting the wishes of the audience, begged to loam if they would be pleased to have the national air of " Buie Britannia" performed, which was acceded to. The basal immediately struck up, and was accompanied by all the vocal performers in the company. The entertainments of the evening concluded with the inelo-drame of St. Cuthbert', Eve. The house was fully attended in every part. STORM IN 7'HE RIVER PLATE. EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED BUENOS AYRES, ♦UGUST 24.

TIIR MILAN COMMISSION. In Heinher, 1817, certain documents were transmitted from the foreign Office (Lord Castlereagh's), which dun milts contaitied charges against the Queen, then Princess of Wales, and were the fruit of the labours of Count Monster, Lord Stewart, vied a Hanoverian Agency. A report Inviing been made on these papers, the Milan Commission was established—lli Lord Chancellor and the Earl of Liverpool confirming, if not selecting, the appointment of the Commissioners. The Commission war placed iu communication with the offieeof Secretary if State fur Foreign Affairs. The Commission did not reach Milan till 1818, and all its reports were made known to the Earl of Liverpool as well as the Lord Chancellor ; it was not till June or July, 1819, that the Alll2ll Commission made its final report, which was Hun referred to the Cabinet. Much imputation bas been cast upon Mr. Vice Chancellor Leach, lint most unjustly, for it appears from the above fact* that he was (though acting as Chancellor of the Duchy of Cur uwahl) Andy the Agent or Deputy of the Lord Chan cellor of England.

On Wednesday a well-known character, who called himself Thornier Jane* Croat, nailer. WAR charged by a respectable country geutlemaa with having robbed him of h a watch, gold chain, sod seals, of considerable value. SI r. T. Carroll, the prosecutor, who is an atblrt is and power. ful man, stated that at sax o'clock ou Tuesday mening lie was walking down Bishupsgate-street, a street at all times almost as crowded as the Strand, when be was suddenly seised by the arms by two own, who held him on each side so tightly that he was unable to move, anti at the same lime a person from behind, put his hands under the prosecutor'. chin, and forced Wick his head. Ile was held fur some Moments in this posture, (hiring which time he felt his watch escape from his fob, and his pockets were deliberately ransacked, but fortunately he bad nothing upon his per. sun of particular value, excepting his weld,. After hav ing investigated the contents of each of his pockets, rubbers released him as suddenly a: they had seized him and decamped down the alley. near the place. Before they decamped, however, the Prosecutor had sufficient time to recognise the person of the Prisoner, and to see hint hand his watch and seals to smother of the gang. The prosecutor pursued the Prisoner with the cry of " Stop thief!' down an alley near the spot, called Catherine-wheel-alley, when, fortunately, a labouring men passing up the alley, heard the cry, and seized the Prisoner as he was running, and de tained hint until the Prosecutor came up, who would not °thereafter, from the intricacy and darkness of the place, have been able to have caught site robber. Another Gentleman who was present in the office I' el)tailed the Prisoner as the man who had robbed him only a few crewing* before. The Gentleman was walking down Bishopsgate street at an early hour iu the evening, when the Prisoner ran against him violently. He, however, begged ten thousand pardons fur the accident, mud whilat they were exchanging civilities contrived to steal the Gen tleman's pocket-book from his breast pocket.
