■ solendid and general illumination in this borough,

TIIORNTON.

The inhabitants of the village of Thornton, near
Pickering, displayed their destestation of perjury
on Nlotielay ae'nnight, by illuminating their houses,
and burning a filthy green bag. The pnorrr house-
keepers were enabled to drink the health of thei►
Queen in good ale, by the liberality of some of their
wealthier neighbours.

IN SCOTLAND

On Tuesday evening Pollockshasys was splen-
didly and generally illuminated. In Paisley there
was a partial illumination on the same ev g.
Stewarton was also illuminated, ■nd all was hap-
piness :it'd harmony.
IVedtiesday night. under the authority of the
Provost and Magistrates of Heiberglen, that anci-
rut borough was illuminated with the greatest
brilliancy. Every house was li4lited up. The
bells were rung. and a !mice botitire blazed at the
Cites. The Burges,es of Milberglen, possessinK
a free constitution, never enter into public under-
takings without the concurrence of the Magistrates.
Our correspondent at Falkirk states—" When
the news reached this town that the Bill of Pains
and Penalises against the Queen was laid aside,
there was a general expression of aatisfactioa and joy.
A flambe, of the respectable inl►rbitants wished
to express their feelings in a public wanner by ilk-
minating their houses. This was keenly opposed by
a few individuals, which only wade theta the more
determined ; and having obtained permission, it was
advertised nn Tuesday last that the town would be
illuminated that evening front seven till nine
o'clock. The town's bells commenced a merry
peal at seven, and in a few minutes the windows,
with a few exceptions, were all lighted up. and the
illumination was, I believe, more general than any
ever witnessed. The streets were crowded by the
inhabitant.' and • iturttller of people from the
cautitry : a great proportion of the crowd consisted
of well-dressed females, who seemed much inte-
re►ted on the occasion.

" The streets were es lied as mill-day, lanes and
closes nut excepted ; and said Falkirk, with her
surrounding villages, never perhaps exhibited a
more delightful scene. A band of amateurs played
I national sits, among which the King's
Anthem was well received. What enhanced the
whole was the harmony which pervaded all classes.
The proper authorities were in early attendance, and
were spinet: the necessity of exercising any obnoxi-
ous power. No riot, or even disposition to riot ap-
peered—a circumatance very UIICOIOIIIOII among
such a concourse of people. The King and Queen's
health was drunk in flowing bumpers in (nail
houses. and the crowd dispersed withevideut marks
of heartfelt satisfaction."

low►ng a. count of the rejoicings ►n that village:—

excepts of three houses, the whole village, (vo-

to br seen, expressive of the feelings on the occasion;
a bonfire was kindled, a large band of young men
with white favours, preceded by music, paraded
the streets shouting " Long hve Queen Caroline !"
and every face beamed with joy. A number of the
inhabitants repaired to the Plough lint and drank
