Immediately on the re2tipt of the intelligence on etnrelay„ . at noon, of Ministers having withdrawn Bill of Punts and Pepsines against the Queen, r!:e church hells in this town were set ringing, and rr continued to be rung during the greater part of the afternoon and evening. At four o'clock a very numerous procrasiou was formed of persons fr;endly to the Queen's cause, which paraded about the town, accompanied by a band of music, the colours belonging to the Blue pliity, and various plat ards and caricatures . : there were also, we understand, carried in the procession two large green bags. After this procession had finished its labours a iminenvely large bonfire was lighted in the market-place. and was kept burning till three o• four o'clock on Sunday morning ; and we hear that many depredationa were committed to provide stm•ls for ignition ; among others. that of carry ing off and appropriating every. watch-box in the Au illumination took place at Spalding yesterday et,.»itig in honour of her Majesty's triumph, which was conducted with the greatest tranquillity, with out any disaffection whatever. As soon as the news of the termination in the House of Lords of the Queen's business was an noiinced on Saturday,,at Sibsey, the excellent peal of bells in Sihaey church was lung, a white flag with blur letters (Grotto " Queen for Ever!") was hoisted MI the chortle steeple, the same in the evening il luminated, and a large concourse of the inhabitants, consisting of men, women, and children of both sexes, assetabled rejoicingly. then paraded the streets, the men wearing white ribbattils on their hats, carrying a green beg on a pole, with lights, ter-tube, and fire-works, accompanied by a band of music; after this procession the green bag was burnt. and half a hogshead of ale was given to the populace. A select purl, of the principal inhabi tants, whose best wishes have been for the Queen to. he found innocent, supped at the inn, and spent the remainder of the evening with conviviality. Nsftstroao. NOVEMBER 15. A requisition for a meeting of tt►e Freemen and Inhabitants of this city, to consider the propriety of voting a congratnlato►•y Address to her Jiojesty, was yesterday ',repented to the Mayor, bet Ins an swer was not received when our paper went to press. The intelligence of the Bill against the Queen bring abandoned, was received on this city on Satur day, with the must joyful manifestations of general sionsfaction ; after the arrival of the post, the bells proclaimeil the grateful news, several houses were illuminated, and the shouts of the people in all di -I'lllllolll showed the deep interest the termination of this obnoxious measure excited. Monday 'tight was fined upon fur a general illumination to celebrate the event, and every preparation was made fur the purpsoe—at ass early hour the houses, the churches, and the markets, presented ■ moanl display of devices awl well•arraoged light, which gave the whole city beautiful appearance, whilst bands of music paraded the streets, and all classes including the_fairosex." were on the alert enjoying the exhila rating *erne; bonfires blazed in different direc tions, and duly decorated and escorted by a guard hearing torches, the effigy of llas.eihi, a large green loiscrod • gallons, were carried through the ci , y, aro' finally doomed to sta►tyrdurs in an immense bonfire provided for the purpose in Broad-street.

IA/N DON, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 17, 1820. Au answer has at length been vent to the letter addressed by Mr. KEPPEL CRAVEN, the QUEEN'S Vice-Chanibeilain, at her MAJESTY'S MUMMA to the Earl of LIVERPOOL, demanding from the Government a residence a,.d all establish ment suitable to hrr rank. Lord !AYERPoor. in forms her MAJESTY that be has communicated her demands to the KING, and that his MAJESTY has not as yet expressed his determination upon the subject. His Lord*hip pleads his aboenee front London as en excuse for his delay in answering her MAJESTY'S letter. In the mean tune, however, Cabinet Councils have been held, and this matter has, no doubt, been taken into earne►t consideratiosi. Lord Llvca- POOL'S backwardness in now giving ass explicit an swer, would therefore imply that the Ministers find themselves in some embarrassment respecting the conduct which they are to pursue towsrils she QUEEN. A thousand rumours relating to this subject are afloat, but they ought proba bly rather to he called conjectures, for the dip cussions in the Cabinet do not transpire so quickly for ►he gratification of public curiosity. There is likely, however, to he some appmxims tion to truth in she conjecl3re, that a decided rem. lw . has been farmed its a certain quarter Oat the QUEEN shall nut have o royal patter for her real. denee. A favourite opinion is said to prevail that the royal palaces are private property, and that the disposal of them does not rest in the discietioo a the Cabinet Ministers. This opissiou we believe to be erroneous. It is one of the soundest princis plea of our constitution that, with the-. rleneption of the privy purse, the notion of private property restiug in the hands of the KING is always quali fied with the implied assurance that it is held, not fur his private gratification, but for the interests of the public, and subject at all times to the dis cretionary control of Parliament. Should the appointment of a fit place of residence for the QUEEN become a question iu the House of Com mons. it is not probable that the plea of private property in the Mao would be recognised by the House, sn as to permit a royal palace to con. tissue ulauccupied, end the country be put to the heavy expense of purchasing or hiring another place of residence suitable to the QUEEN'S elevated rank: We observed a few days since upon the probable raluctanee of the !Moisters of the Crown to meet :the two HOAK'S of Parliament. under the painful sense of their recent 'defeat, stud remarked that they would gladly have rrcoorse to the measure of ptsrogiAng Parliament by proclamation. - We hive brace understood that aneh• wee actually their de. that they have even crinetilted the 'Strasase of the House of COMMOOP, WO Mr. .4stores, Chief Cleat of the House of Lords, ow;the : propriety of proroguing Parliament &Mar thilieriod of an adjourtieneat.

A proceeding like this is a wretched mockery of the prisileges of Parlianient, a trick by *lnch cer tain forms are observed while the spirit is sscriticed. To whit purpose wilt the two Houses of Parliament he suffered tomtit. if care be at the same time taken that no topic of general interest, no subject eon. sleeted with the welfare of the State, abed be enter. gained io disenation ?

A communication Las been made to the Luau MAYOR of her MAJESTY'S intention, and we have no doubt but that his Lord ship will attend in state, with a corisidtmible nutu ber of the Corporation in their robes, to meet her M.%JESTY at Temple-bar.—Her MAJESTY has fix ed Friday, the 24th, for receiving • considerable number of Addresses of Congratulation already voted, viz. Lord Mayor, Aldermen, St. Mary, Lambeth and Common Coined, St. Giles and Bt. George, C. ipplegate, Bloomsbury, Bishopsgate, Belsoolatasters. Her MAJErrt has invited many distinguished Noblemen and their Ladies to dinner on Monday nexi. Yesterday, at two o'clock. invitig. Cabinet Council was held at the For, ign-Office, in Down ing -street, which sat till a quarter past four o'clock. After the breaking up of the Council the Earl of LIVERPOOL left town for his seat at Coombe Wood. A Dutch Mail arrived last flight with Papers to tiro 15th instant. The following are extracta:— BattaitLa, NOVEMBER 10. Thy• following official notice has been published at Li.le and in the departments of the North:— " All travellers Intending to to to the Austrian domi nions are int . ..fined, that it is neceasary that she object and , &salutation of their journey shall be clearly slated its the passports which they are to receive.

Hie Majesty her issued a Decree, (hated the Bth of thispoutli, fixing the let January, 1821, as the time al•whiclt the new system of weights and mea sures is to be adopted throughout the whole king dom of the Naitheslands. The introduction of these new measures, which are founded on the decimal system, will undoshtedly prove ultimately a very great benefit to all classes of citizen', though it May be att e nded at first with some inconveniences. FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER 7.. • A courier, just arrived from Vienna, lies brought us the following intelligence:— On the 21si, gad, 2.14, suJ 24th, there were coip fereuces at the hotel of Prince Metternich. at which all the Ministers of the gr:•t Powers now at Tooppau were presest ; .but the first sitting was on the 25th, at which both the Emperors and the Crown Prince of Prussia were present. The con ferences will continue till the unitMle of November.: It is thought that the Emperor Mexatider will set out in about a fortnight fur Berlin, by the way of • Breslau and Dresden. Several mercantile lotuses here received accounts that the F,uropeuo Committee, as it is called. cow. pisting of the lliniaters of the fear great Powers. and now eitablisl►ed at Paris, there to deliberate on tlo• grneral cam:emir of Europe, will be removed to Vienna.

Her NI AJ MITT was received with every demonstration of respect from the lulu brtants, who cheered her as she passed along. Her MAJESTY was headed by the same persons with fl iorhesux, who accompanied her to Bra odenbis get House, where she alighted, highly gratified at the appearance of the town, and the manner in which the populace testified their respect. Fire-arms and fire-works were discharged in and near the town, uud the greatest joy prtvuiled. LORD LAUDERDALE.— During the late rejoicings for the QUILEN'I triumph, the suite of rooms occu pied by this Nobleman. at Warren's Hotel, were splendidly illannuated with wax flambeaux. In noticing the houses that were remarkable for their brilliancy, during the late illmninstiona, we omitted to mention that of Mr. Ross*? JottuTtia, Iduip-usiumfacturer, Nere-streetssquare. It was from this house that the draw-lowirders' procession pro. twedeil with their address a few weeks ago to her MuesTY. During, the illuminations it was Parti cularly splendid.. Over the 'first-foor win - dOwa, which were tastefully studded with Variegated lath" was a star. With the letter "C. IL" on either side. Above the star was si metal-worker's haiimee, and over that a crown, all of lamps of the mast glowing colours, and arranged so as to give the most beautiful effect. The two bowlers which were carried by the brass-founders on the day of preseriting their address, were suspended from the second-floor windows. 'On one was •"rhe Queen's Guards are Men of Metal"--ou the other, " Had, Star of Brunswick!" At the breaking up Ida torero dinner party, two of the company fell down stairs. the one tumbling to the first landing-place, the other rolling to the bottom. It was observed the first seemed dead drunk. " Yes," said a wag, " but he's not so far gone es the gentlenian below." ADVANTAGE OF IGNORANCE.—The following circumstance, to. k place in a neighbouring town a short time ago :—A fellow hearing there was a letter for hint in the post-office, accordingly went for it. On the post-master's handing it to him, he frankly confessed lie could not read, slid requested the post master to open it, mud let hint know the contents, which he very readily did. After getiiiig all tl►e information he wanted, lie knowingly sLrugged up his ►hould. rs, thanked him for his politeness, and drily observed, " Wan I have some change, I'll call and take it !" On Saturday last, at Kirkbride, in the parish of Straiten, about half a score of drives were observed hovering bathe air, seemingly affected by something on the ground; ■nd the attention of the observer being dirtied to the spot, • weasel was found in the act of cutting the throat of one of the dorm. The weasel was caught its the act; but the sleek of the dove being eerily separated, it (bed, and the weasel received the punishment of ■ ►r.urderer. On the Monday preceding, a puitridge, supposed to be pursued by • bird of prey, took refuge in a shop in the moat frequented street in Ayr ; and, within thesd few days, a hawk and a sparrow were cought iu one of the . heft-rooms of a house in the suburbs. Front the unusual quantity of soot brought down the chimney, it appeared the birds had made their entrance to the room in that way— he one in pursuit of the oth,r. By the timely ar rival of the gentlentSis of the house the poor elm sow wm saved front destruction, and his Ravenous pursuer ituprototied.—(Glasgow CArotside.)

The conflict betweru the love of a fair fame awl maternal attachment, was strongly exhibited in the rencounier between Lot/sire and Dec.:, :Hid lir the different resolutions rapidly following each other in her mind when Micas accuses La :heir before her husband. But it would be. vain to attempt doing justice to each particular adaptation of this excellent Actress's whole mind to the horrid incidents through which the appears to be led by au overruling destiny. In the catastrophe, the triumph of nature over all ether motives, in the confesvion of her own guilt to de liver Lothaire, and her heroic self-sacritice to the honour of her loved lord, drew tears from many a spectator. Miss CHISTEII played /masa, generally, with currectnes., judgment, and spirit. Mr. BOOTH played Michael Daces, and his perform ance of it war very creditable to Ina abilities. It is not, according to our conception, a very arduous part. It presents in' alternation of virtues and vices —no transitions from honesty to vice—no conten dons between rectitude of resolution and weakness of will. Decoy's' whole dramatic existence is row . gloomy prospect of ingrained wickedness and bast ness, unrelieved by soy bright quality. unless we give that name to an animal courage, which might as justly be denominated natural ferocity. Hence there is the less art and flexibility of tempera.. ment necessary to the delineation of it. Let but au actor put himself into a suitable frame of pride, ingratitude, lust, and cruelty at the outset, and he is tolerably well famished for his able career. The amiable heroic Lnthaire was sustained by Mr. COOPER, in r style of very great sOrit. He possesses niaoy of the essentials for the imitation of the lover and the hero. His declama tion was in general forcible, and apparently the Ofspring of feeling. He delivered the following passage with much vehemence and effect. It is addressed to Adelgitha:— Should I bear with patience To hear thee wrouged, thou best and purest ? No ! My hlood's on fire, and shottld be: he's no man Who lisle*. calmly, while a woman's slandered. Were I • peasant, mid you no loftier— Lady ! my duty to your sea would bid ose Shield you from insult. But you're say ',vertigo-- I am your koiglit.—Tu you I owe my fortunes— To you, I might e'en say, I owe my life!— The orphan's gratitude, the soldier's honour, Both rouse me to repel the unheard-of—falsehood. These sentiments were applied to passing events, arid drew forth loud plaudits horn some of the au ditors. It is our opinion that this effort of Mr. COOPER will advance his professional reputation. Mr. THemPsou appeased in Guiscard. He was occasionally applauded—but we must be pardoned for thinking that the applause was rather a tri bute to the elevated, noble sentiments it is his duty to pronounce, than to the actor. Miss SMITHSON rendered Claudia su interesting character. The scenery introduced in the rspreseutation is unusual. ly tine.
