CURIOUS SCENE.

[FROM ♦ CORRESPONDEN

A ludicr•.us scene metric"! at Abington ou Thursday
'veining, which certainly Omar Inc yn..s of its inhabitant
C. 'petting the Uitetii. It appears that as early, iu thy evceing
as 7 o'clock, the principal houses iii the streets were 00.1.1,
both 'hops and private bona.'., and every true looking °cer-
ium/illy for mintethiug to pass by. The streets *ere in was•
contional motion, and the,prople talking on their favuurae
topic—the Queen. It appears that the Pulitical Barber uf
the town had used *Try harsh rued+, in the heal of debate
in public company, and, as they said, thrown foal ,aaper-
slum on the clissactcr of her Maj.aty. The mobility hear-
ing of this, became very isidigoant, -mil made a collection
uf pence to burn the elhey of the Umber in the most public
manner. The prates now arrived, attended by birodrede •
of 'temple, shoutiaig " God save the Queen " Lung live the.
Queen!" " Queen Caroline fur ever :•' gcc. The effigy, is fair
likeness, was drawn iii a angina by two leases.. It 11.14
seated on a tar-barrel, support, d ins each side by two norii
in emptier' and masks, our of them having a book in his
hand, and behind bias stuud a sweep, representing .arse of
the imps of Setae, with tar-barrels, loggias, i.e. in the real.
The whole was surrounded by men with poles, sad
staves, to keep Mr the imputation, and give it the effect of
a precestaiou tif a criminal to the place of his exemitioli.
The procession passed slowly down Ock-aireet, preceded
by drums mid fifes, playing the Deaf! March, stopping ucca-
■tonally to allow the attendant uu the uffender to exhort
hint to repentance. The man hod certainly got his lesson
well, fur he repealed his exhortatiou IU Me meat impressive
manner, sod in such an audible voice, as to be heard
throughout the wltuir crowd. When it had proceeded to the
extremity of Ock-'feel, it returned and passed by the mse-
ket•place to pay a visit to Sir C. Weloeley, who 111,1111 standing
under the front of the gaol, viewing the acetic. The utmost
gaud humour still prevailed, and all scented to participate
in the north which it excited.
'lke procession uuw moved on towards the place of exe-
cution, accompanied by as immense number which (lacked
together. The place they had selected was in a large field
about half a mile from the town. Here a gibbet was erected,
about 20 feet high, sutrouuded with tar-barrels, faggots, isc.
The celled soon mewed, sad after an earnest exhortation
le repent uf his uptitious so hastily formed and so rashly ex-
pressed, and the violence of his temper which had brought
him to that amine ly end, he was tied round kis neck by a
rope, stud suspended from the gibbet amidst the cheers .cf
the impulace and shouting of " Qnesu Caroline for ever ! '
A light was thee app to the foggots, which soon enveloped
bias to smoke, suit finally in dames. Thus elided this most
ludicrous scene, which for the spirit with which it was exe-
cuted was never surpassed. It was conducted with the most
perfect good humour, no one ever attempting to misdeal
ilbeol, our was there toe slightest disposition to a breach of
the peace. The while scene was quickly proposed and as
promptly mrecoted, fur many of the 111100 i respectable tuba-
Warts were not aware any thing was iu agataitou.
