The splendid poseessiso hs Ammer of the Queen's
triumph,. which had been in preparatiow foe shoot
days, took place this dry, and never did the oldest
inhabitant of Liverpool before witness !web • mop

population of this treat tows, were in motion from
daylight. The procession was composed art levet
6t5,000 persons, with blowers, music, fte.awd sided
by all the lustre that rank and beauty could aigod.
All political animosities seemed entirely buried and
superseded by • general feeling of sympathy and
delight.
The procession commenced at eleven o'clock
and closed abort dark. The appearance of the fe-
males was particularly interesting—" Joy sparkled
in every eye." Each of the Fronde Clubs was pre-
ceded by • banner ; that of the Pitt-street Club was
chaste, and peculiarly emblematic of the great OC•
canon for whirls the insole of Liverpool assembled.
At the close of the procession the whole funned
in Clayton-square, and " God save the Clowns"
was sung by the immense multitude, the words
having beeu distributed some days before.

lii proportion to the past experience of the per.

hostile to the liberties and happiness of the people
of England. was the joy felt by the inhabitants of
Stroud and its neighbourhood. no bearing of the

lion of gladness followed the announcement of this
happy intelligence. The closing speech of the
Earl of Liverpool was a fine, though reluctant,

and populous district. Every day since the iitfor-
ruat' of the defeat of the foul conspiracy arrived,
our bells have rung the merry peal. and the entire
week has been devoted to high festivity. On Tues.
dry evening the town and vicinity were brilliantly
illuminated. • band of music paraded the streets,
and the lights from the cottages, by which the
surrounding hills are studded, exhibited a scene
strikingly beautiful. A fine ox, intended to regale
the poor, was led through the town, decorated with
laurel and ribbands, bearing appropriate inserip.

ox; when, from the pelting, of the populace, its
outside boon became a striking emblem of the la-

intended for the poor ou the following day ; and on
Thursday the ox and four sheep were distributed,
with four hogsheads of st g beer, to the great sa.

will be long remembered. On Saturday • nume-
rous and respectable party of gentlemen partook of
an excellent dinner at the George Hotel, which did
great credit to Mrs. Pearce's taste and liberality.

MONMOUTU.

We mentioned in our last Journal tI a enthu-
siastic joy with which the news of the rejection of
the Bill against hes Majesty was !Weal/ell in this
WWI], on Saturday ; and which was further celebrat-
ed by a general illumination on Wednesday. even-
ing last. Our victories by sea or land were never
more cordially hailed ; because this was a triumph
at home gained over perjury, Irani', and every base
and malignant passion with which unprincipled
foreigners bail conspired to take away the life of the
first temsle in these United Kingil . At the
close of the evening, the Town-Hall beamed forth
in the majesty of day; which was further heighten-
ed by the brilliancy of the extended front of
the king's Head Inn, awl the houses in lore with
it, at the west end of the hall, and which was again
met, in front, by the generous spirit of every inha-
bitant in Agincourt-square. It spread from soul
to soul, among the trading classes in every street,
each vying with his neighbours who should most
add his efforts to " eclipse the day." Nit-. Gough,
in Isis Sepulchral Monuments of Great Britain,
speaking of " the Fifth Harry." says, " Henry
bore for his standard, at the battle of Agincourt, a
crescent, bright burning;" which induced the in-
habitants to add a lighted fl ruibeau to the trun-
cheon which his statue holds in his hand, in Gont of
the Town-hall ; but this effect was overpowered
by the bonfire light in the square, made up with
faggots, sugar-hog►hearl., and tar-barrel-, to a
considerable height. and, when set on hie, dis-
pensed a blaze rising to the summit of the bail&
ing. which was cheered by long and bond litiZZOo,
while the bells of the church added their merry
peals to the acclamations of the surrounding mul-
titude. .

AIIERGAVENNY.

The illumination at Abergsvenny, 011 Wednes-
day last, was brilliant and ,grilenal, with one excep-
tion only ; and although a mod, 'larger munber of
Iter•ows assembled thart.win ever known 011 any for.
mer occasion, the whole went off very peaceably.
The effigies of Majocchi, Madame Demon!, mud
Barbara Kress, were extremely well 'nide; and
having been carried about for a length of time,
were hung upon a gallows nearly twelve feet high,
and burnt.

GitttitNOCK. NOVEMICR 17.
Last night, following the example of Glasgow,
this town was aluiost universolly ellignitisied. No
magisterial edict, either of command or 141)1dd/tire,
way issued—the public were left to act tlity
thought fit—but a general understanding prevailing
throughout the earlier part of the day. that some-
thing of the kind would take place, those who dif-
fered in opinion from the Illuntimati, regarding the
conduct of her Slajesty, readily and good-humour-
edly gave way to the popular feeling. and the light-
ing up wa►, a• we have already stated, nearly
unatiiinous. Though the evening was somewhat
wet, crowds paraded the greets to view the dazzling
scene; and, although little else than a tasteful dis-
play of lights any where appeared, every one ►eeto-
ed to enjoy it heartily. As usual. on ouch occa-
sions, the mobility exhibited a practical proof of
their love and loyalty, by making a bonfire of all
old boat, on which they hind laid their unlicensed
hand, and dragging it in a blazing state along the
streets until they arrived at the square, where it was
