ILLUMINATIONS. The Illuminations of ieee. ti ght excelled, to point of brilliancy and variety, those of the preceding tight. The house of e his Excellency the Spanish Ambas sador, in Spring Gardens, was agaie ,last night brilliantly illumin ited. In addition to the former spirited motto, of " To Britain Jriumphaet ; kpaiii grateful; and the Hero's name surmounted With a laurel Crown," a new and most brilliant transparency was last night displayed, op which 'we read with truly sympathetic feelings, the foie' lowing noble and manly ee utenents, which we arc weli assured will he re-echoed by every true nil honest man of both nations; " Eternal Alliance between England and Spain; God Save the King; Long Live the Priece Regent ; and, May 'God eestore Ferdinand VII. to the bosom of his loyal and loving People."

The Marqui of Salisbury's, the Earl of Sefton's, aid the Marquis Camden's, were the best illunii ttated houses in Ailington-street. In Pell Mall, at the Exhibition opposite Marl borough:House, appeared a grand transparency of vast dimensiope, it occupying the whole of the fro n t ; th e subject represented the 'dispersion th,P French Army, with Lord Wellington in Pursuit. The effect of such a scene, from the ample scope afforded to the painter, was tahly'grand and appropriate.

The eagerness of the people.on foot to Make way to and from the horse Guards, occasioned many to be thrown down/ and trampled upon. The firing of guns and throwing of sqUibs ; the huz zaing .of the populace, and the clatter of bricks against the psnnels of coach'es and the doors and shutters of houses, produce& such noise and malt as has not been .Witnessed since the cele bration of Lord Nelson's memorable victory of Trafalgar. BIRMINGHAM, AUGUST 18. . The news of .Earl WELLINGTON'S victory was teceived here wit: i the most unbounded acclama tions ; the glorious tidings came on Sunday, and the bells stru-1 up a nivry peal. The Birmingham Commercial lie7ald announced to the inhabitants the joyful intelligence, and requested them to evince their joy by a general illumination ; the hint was taken, and as soon as Monday evening closed in, the whole town exhibited a general blaze. The front of the Commercial Herald house was, as might be expected,' most brilliant; the balcony was lighted with variegated lamps, above which the letters E. W. with a brilliant star in the centre, and surmounted by a superb plume of fe,tthers. The Royal Hotel was most tastefully decorated. The Post-Ohl e. Theatre, Ten and Chickens, and many iddividuals, shone con spicuous. The number of people in the streets exceeded any thing of the ki d known for many years ; all seemed delighted and happy, and the whole passed off in the 'cost peacealAe manner. , The Gazeux Extraordinary arrived about two o'clock, and the Proprietor of the Commercial Herald immediately printed off Extracts from it, and distributed them g rltts throuOlout the town. TUNBRIDGb WELLS, Aug. 18: On Monday last, the moment that the Gazette arrived, announcing the Glorious Victory obtain ed by Lord WELLINGTON Over the French, the loyalty and enthusiasm of. the inhabitants were teStified by their endeavours to display their.un feigned joy on the occasion, and although the time was short for preparation, yet_ in the even ing the company, visitants,. were surprised by a' disiday of general illumination, such as (several having expressed it) they never before witnessed. In the first : instance, the 18 pieces of cannon,' kept in the place to be fired 'on every joyful occa sion, were discharged at one o'clock, Whilst busy preparations were making by every one - (including every visitant P. 3 well as inhabitant), sttiving, in unison with the feelinAs 6f all hearts upon such an ocemsion,lor emulation. At four o'clo* tide cannon again tred a loyal Salute, whilst the band of music in the orchetra, on the Parade, played " God save the King," and other loyal tunes. About half-past e gilt in the evening, the guns fiivd a Salute again, and the band perform ed as before, which was also the signal for the commencement of the illumination—when, to the Nast surprise of the Nobilly and Gentry (many-of whom had not- been present on such an oceariion before), the whole place around burst on their view in 'One colitinued blaze -of light, so -diver sified, that tt eye was puzzled which Way to turn - rot admiration. !StiRANCE's Library had a most tasteful and ap propriate transparency,. representing Britannia, defended Wisdom and Valour from' her tom blued Enemies, with the Word's " WELLINGTON and Ciudad Rodrigo—BadajozSalamanen."— There was also another, equal in execution, at SlNTzENtion's Drawing Shop—Victory seated on the World, with the motto " - Redeurit Saturnia itegna." The company having promenaded • for some time on the Parade (the evening being\ perfectly serene and mil ), by way of a change of scenery, took a walk i on the Down, or whatiS more gene rally called the Common, on the new path lead ing from Mount Sion to Mount Ephraim, where, about mid-way, another gratifying sight hume diately arrested their steps and attention, which was both romantic and grand beyond description, and may be not unaptly compared to a PanoraMa, where persons placed in the centre have to look entirely around before they can embrace the whole; so here, the Nvhole circle around, or nearly so, taking in the Wells, M i ount , Mount Ephraim, and Mount Pleasant, displayed such, a variety in. the illumination, that (like a Pano rama) each part of the circle creatcfl a pause of attraction. .One only circ nstanee attending this patriotic display tended to alloy ,the gratification amongst the company, which We are sorry , there was not a preventative to, that of the wanton setting on fire the fur zes on the Common, from one end alt. most ,to the other, by boys of the lowest -class, without any interference to put a stop ,to it—a spot which, from its beauty, of affording a.bright green hue during the winter months, and pro ducing almost one entire sheet of bright yellow in the summer, has been so much admired, and is, .by its Contiguity to every part of therplace alike, a sr,ot of general resort, in the necessary exereisd of walking, or for short airings' otherwise., ‘ 'The place is now full of company, and several of the ii:obility have engaged houses for a length of time.

The headlquartersot the Saxon army, under the orders of General .Regnier, are at Sloniiu; and those of the Austrian army, - - commanded by the Prince of Schwartzenberg-, at Pruzan. 'According to the lateSt ♦ccounts, the Polish armywas at-Nieswitz, :in the best condition, and animated by the best spirit . : There had been •no 'afiir of importance, .but the cavalry had skir misiees dailv, and very much annoyed the enen:y. On the 13th, there was an erfgagement between tjie Polish cavalry and the rear-guard „Of General Bagration, which lasted some boars : our cavalry displayed- their usual bt;ivery a►id enthusiasm; and killed 2400 of the eueniy, among whom was Gen.

LAW REPORT. coma' OF CHANCERY, A UG. 18. IN TITE MATTER OF CUNDIE, A BANMRUPT The LORD ,CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this ease. It was a petition from Nicholas Wilcox Con4ie, to eupersede the commission of bank ruptcy which 'tad been' issued against him ; and the prayer of the petition was urged on the two grounds—that he (Cundie) had committed no act of bankruptcy, and that he 'was not a trader at the time of the issuing .of thecommission. His Lordship said, that be had attentively perused ail the documents and affidavits respecting this case ;' 'and with respect to,the first ground, namely, that no act of „bankruptcy had been conniiitted, he found that the person, now brought forward to 'prove that no act of bankruptcy-had been, com mitted by Cundienone i vionsly to the issuing of the commission Was the very same individual (and he believed his name was. Smart) on whose oath the commission .had issued ! Here \ then was evidence qn:te contradictory; and where allegations were so contrary to each other, and that too from the same person, it was itnposssible.for him to Ilecide under such circumstances. This point must be tried in a Court of Law. With respect to the second ground on which Cundie rest.nl his case, namely, that' he was not engaged in any tra(Le previously to his being embarked in the Pantheon concern, it became a question whether the petitioner bad so acted subsequently to his purchase of the Pan theon as to bring him within the meaning of a trader. This point too must be tried, especially as the representations of the bankrupt, in the pe tition, as compared with certain letters and for mer declarations illustrative of his conduct in the Pantheon concern, were in contradiction of state ments previously made: Both these points must be tried in a Court of Law—there only could they be decided ; and if the. petitioning creditor chose to try these matters, his Lordship thought that he ought not to refuse him the liberty. Mr. Haar then stated, that some individuals, who were anxious to have the premises in ques tion, the Pantheon, repaired, had stepped forward ant( offered such terns as might. be beneficial to the creditors, if the petitioniugereditor would ac quiesce, in them. If the petitioning creditor could be - prevailed on to agree to those terms, then there might not be any necessity to go into a Court of Law ; and Mr. Hart Obtained leave to arrange the proceedings accosaliing to the result of these ne gociat7ioi;s. • • Mr. Hater then observed, that the Pantheon ' ought to be entrusted to the care of sOine person to preserve it; though it was indisputable that it was in suchA condition, that it could not have continued to be opened and used as a .Theatre, even had it not been stopped by other events. But even in its present condition, some person ought to be appohited to preserve. it in that State. Sir SA ni.TEL ROIILLY did not know v,.hetitier the alleged fact was quite . so " indisputable" :is HuT. had asserted it to be be. was certain of was, that it is Warmly and strongly dispitted So far was the fact ‘i indisputable !" The LORD CHANCELI,O4 acquiesced in the pro priety of appointing a persbn to take care of the premises. On Friday last a cow, belonging to Mr. J. Greaves, of Kernpsey, near Worcester, produced five calves, all dead, weighing front 30 to 331bs. each. The cow is doing well. POLICE. ,‹ - :‘,lA...lsrotst-ttottsa.----TwO. persons were yester day taken before the Lord - Mayor, charged' with breaking the win'lows of 7%Tr.: Metcalfe, the 'tiba hitant of -a court iaTower , street.

For tins atfaek,ho cy ever, he heartily forgave them, as upon slid/ joy ous occasions the •ebulitions of English spirits might be considered excusable. In these feeli:!gi he hoped he should be joined by Mr. Metcalfe, who, he was sure, under all the features of the case, would agree with him in deprecating a vin dictive course. With respect to the ass,mlt, if that could • not he accommodated, if wind t of course he his duty to commit the offender.

The water:- men admitted that several respc..ctable persons, and among others merchants and brokers, loyl been taken into custody, hut, upon giving their addresses, were discharged: Mr. Mist observed; that it was somewhat extraordinary that those who had really the means of making some recom pence for the damage done should nor he brought forward; while the unfortunate man at the bar, who seemed the least criminal, should be de- • Sir.

The respectable part : of the 'community, in several parts of the town, were prevented from enjoying the sight of the nation, and participating in the general joy that prevailed on Monday night, by a set of idle ap prentice boys, and fellows of the lowest descrip tion, who were continually. letting off tire-works, firing off blunderbusses, muskets, and pistols, among crowds of spectators, who were quietly gazing at the illuminations.• A musket burst in Spring-Gardens,. Opposite the,Suanish Ambassa dor's house, but . we did ncrt hear of any serious mischief being .done. The most outrogeons con duct took place in St, James's-street and Picea dille, in both of which - places most of the houses were extremely well lighted ; and this scene con tinued till near one o'clock, when most of the families went to bed : however, soon after that time, an immense 'nob came calling out for lights, which bad but a little time before- been burning brilliantly : the inhabitants got from their beds, and sheaved candles in their night linea only ; this did not satisfy the mob,who began to demolish the windows with sticks, brick-hat:, stones, &c: — Some panes in Mr. Coutts's house, - which cost. 41. 10s. a square, were broke . ; several avindoses in Sir Francis Burdett's were demolished- This scene lasted till past three o'clock.--The da mage done is estimated at 5 'or 60Q/a B icon, and his party of the patrede, were stationed in that neighbourhood to keep. order ;' but the mob was so. large, that was impossible • to repress it. However, they fieed upon three of the rhae leaders, who were particularly active in throwieg brick bats and stones, aad at a convenient oppor tuaity seized them ; when there was a generel outcry to rescue them, and the mob attacked the officers most violently, calling them Piecadiiiy butchers, etc. ; one o the patrole had hi's head cut open ; they, however, fought, their way, bravely through the mob, and conveyed their prisoners to a watch-house. They found upon them brick bats and stones. Yesterday morning they weee examined befote Mr. NARES ; they said their names are Jahn Wood house, Henry Paddick, and Thomas Dickinson. They are a journeyman calico-prieter, a servant out of place, and, an apprentice boy. They Were ordered to find bail: Charles Griffiths was brought by a party of the patrole, charged with letting off a squib, in Ca therine-street, and pre paring 'to let off another. He was convicted, in the penalty of 20s.
