bed a very happy effect. Fire-works, as in general
upon such occasions, were also exhibited in different
quarters of the town.
The failing• of the abandonment of the Bill of
Pains and Penalties were as welcome here as in
every other town. The exterind symbols of ft.
jOielllg have, however, been very limited. The
new Wellgate ColPe-rousu was illuminated on
Monday, cud • small party (lined together on
Wednesday, in honour of the event. Placard*, re.

Queen, Its front a fear lest the glare a light
should enable the predatory band. of the place to
plunder the lieges with impunity.—(Dundee Ad-
vertiter.) _ _ _

On Tuesday last the colours of the different In-
corporations iu Arbroath were suspended from the
wiuslawri of their respective Peacotis, white the flags
of the ve►sels in the harbour were hoisted, in testi-
molly of rejoicing on account of the fate of the Bill
of Pains stud Penalties.
A Correspondent at Montrose state.—" On Wed-
nesday evening our town was brilliantly illunsinated,
although it was net till a late hour that the intention
was generally known. However. when the example
was given, there weave promptitude displayed to
give lucid proof that we warmly participated in the
joyous occasion, which Ism warmed many a he►rt,
and lighted up many a counteutuce with conoratu..
lesion, on the result of the proceedings in the rlouse
of Lords. We have awaited the arrival of the mail
with araxiousAl►ought, to bring us en account of
each day's proceedings in this momentous trial.
Thotigh ghost the preparation to illuminate, molests
an anxious wish might have anticipated the fettilt,
there were several appropriate inscriptions and de.
vices exhibited in various window.. In the centre
window of our public buildings appeared a host of
her Majesty, a well-executed transparency, a crown
placed nt►ove, with "C. R." and under-written,
" Triumphant." In the window of it respectable
inhabitant the emphatic words. " Fair Play." In

that of an humble dwelling " I thank thee, my
God, that thou hest made my anemic. any foot-
stool !" This certainly evinces how great the plea.
sure at the result, how universal this feeling, and
how numerous were those who watched the progreis
of the cause. which it would be absurd to call • the
cause of party or of any individual'. "
There have also been illuminations at Forfar,
Laverencekirk, and Nlarykirk.
The city of Brechin was brilliantly illuminated
on Wednesday evening. Many very appropriate
devices were exhibited. One in particular attract-
ed public attention. and bed considerable effect on
the risible faculties; in the centre was a drawing
of the Queen, surrounded by the names of her
Counsel, in large capitals; the crown elevated a
little above her head, as if ready to descend upon
it; a little below, on her right howl, was a
post, with the wortle..-66 The road to Italy," which
was followed by two deplorable-looking wretches, a
male and a leinale—Majoechi still Demme. with
" Ace trri ricordu" issuing from the mouth of the
former : on the Queen's left band aloud a figure
that might serve for the statue of horror. with a
belly like a bow-window. and a huge green bug ly-
iug by his side. There was not the least disorder
on the occasion.
The intelligence of the failure of the Bill of
Pains and Penalties arrived at Kirriemuir on Wed-
nesday. and immediately produced • most enthu-
siastic burst of joy and exultation. About eleven
o'clock p. m. the bells were rung, an itutneuse
bonfire biased at the Cross, and thirty of the must
respectable inhabitants iu the town assembled in the
Trades' Hall. to express their feelings of satisfac-
tion. Many loyal and constitutional toasts were
drunk, and the evening was spent with great con-
viviality. Another numerous party of inhabitants
met its Mr. Kaitray's inn, and likewise spent the
evening with much hilarity.
Lismernaotv, NOVEMBER 17.
The proceedings against the Queen have excited
• much interest, and their progres• been prirticulatly
watched by a great proportion of the inhabitants of
this burgh. When the account arrived of the fate
of the Bill of Pains and Penalties joy was visible in
almost every countenance. On the evening of the
same day a number. whose feelings wale most
acute, illuminated their houses, and no Thana

being desirous of 'hewing their attachment to her
Majesty. agreed to illuminate their houses, and

KlitiLALDir, 14011E1611C11 18.

For senile days ito, and particularly yesterday.
n number of the inhabitants of this place evinced a
desire to illuminate their windows, on acecrunt of
the fate of the Bill of Pains and Penn!ties iu th-.
[louse of Lords. The Magirtrates gave way to I i;••
popular feeling, and publicly announced an illuali-
voltam to take place 110121 seven to half-past nine.
With very few exceptions the intimation war com-
plied with. Numerous parties of the inhabitant;
perambulated the streets and examined the varons
devices, Bte. which were exhibited, while the.mobi-
'ivy amused themselves with tiring off pistols and
trundling burning tar-barrels along the sirett-.
This hurley-burley diversion, however, seemed to
be carti,d on with perfect good humour, and not
the least accident happened. By ten o'clock the
lights were generally extinguished, and au hour
after the rtreets were perfectly quiet.
The city of Aberdeen was brilliantly illuminated
on Friday night. Several bonen' stud elegitat
transparencies were exhibited. One full-lengi:i
beautiful transparency of the Queen, in a house i,r

with a scroll, bearing the words—" They have done
every thing to destroy roe," to which she points ;
