REJOICINGS IN THE COUNTRY.

lOSTON, 'NOVEMBER, 14.
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 at noon, of Ministers having withdrawn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.
Doting the whole of this scene of gomerol rejoicing
Uta otishoot order prevailed, all use mirth and go id
lituuloor, not atingle accident happened, and much.
praise is doe to the Mayor anti Alagistratigi for
the sitteutioli they showed to popular feeling on
hie occasion. Last night Majoceloi and Demont
received the ramehonoars os Kastehli on the pieced-
big eveinoig. In the different towns in thus coontry
the inlelligence was received With equal joy ; at
Koh, to-morrow evening, a splendid ithaatination is
expected. At Gloucester a requisition, most re-
spectably signed, has been presented to the Msyo►;

and leohabitants is appointed to be hoklen this day,
for the purpose of preparing an Address to her
Majesty upon this occotion.—(Hereford Jusgrotal.)

I give you a hasty +centrist of our I,room-dings in
this Itltk town on Set titthiy morning. When the
mail brought us the glorious intelligence tluit the
Bill was thrown out, many of the inmet respect stile
intohitamts ran triivards the church, and running up
the belfry stairs, the bells instantly struck up a
merry- peal. A white flag was hursteil on the Tower,
toned-the firing ulguusoird sounds of martial music;
at night the inhabitants paraded through the town
witii White favours in their hats. The Rev. Mr.
etenhory ordered the flag to be taken down, but
the Churchwardens refused to comply. All busi-

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

flambeaux in their hands, ss did others who ful.
lowed the carriage. Her NI AJ MITT was received
with every demonstration of respect from the lulu-

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

in a mother's heart for the life of her child.

Again, the scene in which she probes the disposi-
tion of Dices towards a pardon, before dialog to
disclose her early error, and hods a result so chilling
to her hopes, was a specimen of highly-wrought
emotion, sustained passion, and accumulative
errergy, which we have seldom seen paralleled.
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.
