THE ILLUMINATIONS

Westminster—not a House in the most oh,eure
street but exhibited some symptom of joy upon the
occasion.—The crowd of people in the streets was
greater than we ever observed upon any similar oc-
casion, and we were happy to remark that the ut-
most good humour and order prevailed as far as, our
observation extended..

The Admiralty.—At the top a btilliant crown ;
underneath, a radiated star over an anchor, and a
row of lamps on each side, with flambeaux extending
the whole length of the entrance of the gates.
The Horse Guards was very magnificently light-
ed with variegated lamps, disposed in a G. R. and
the word Peace in brilliant lamps under. The
windows in the wings were likewise edged with
coloured lamps.
Pay-Office—G. R, and star.; the windows
minated.

In the front of the•Mansion-House, we noticed
a very elegant transparency, representing the Four
Quarters of the World, kneeling to the Goddess of
Peace, who appears just reaching the ground in her
descent, attended by a number of little cherubs with
garlands of olive.
BANK of ENGLAND.-The transparent Pieture,-
painted by R. SNIT KKE, K. A. occupying the space
between the two central columns in the principal
front, represents Britannia seated; her'robe of war
is cast aside, and her helmet, shield, and cuirass
laying by her, shew that she has recently disarmed :
She is saluted by Peace ; and Minerva, as her Conn-.
sellor, stands near her tribune, while the pyramid im-
mediately behind this group is a type of that stabi-
lity which her Government must acquire.from such
an union. Britannia stretches out her right hand
to' receive..industry• and Genius ; while.the other
holds a cornucopia, the emblem of that abundance
which best corresponds with the liberality of her
views.--This allegory exhibits the British Nation
under 'the auspices of PrNice, impelled by the wisdom
of her councils to call into useful adion the corpo-
real and intelledual energies. of the Country : a
conduct at once most worthy of her character, and
most capable of remedying those evils which are in-
separable from a state of warfare.
.M. OTTo's was one pf the greatest objeas of at
traction : An immense crowd assembled in Port-
man Square at. no very late hour in the evening,
whose expectations were amply gratified by the
brilliancy and grandeur of the spectacle which his
house presented. The whole was arranged in the
form of a temple, with much appropriate ornament,
which being entirely illuminated, prOduced a most
splendid effaL The minuter parts of the speCiacle
have been before detailed whilst they were in a
state of preparation, each contributed to the mag-
nificence of the whole. It was scarcely possible to
get near the place from the great number of persons
who were assembled.

Vlr. HOPE'S though less magnificent, was pe-
culiarly tastefal and elegant. Within a square of
lamps encompassing the five windows of the first
floor in Cavendish-sqnare, was the word Peace, in
large letters in colonred lamps, one letter being in
each window ; the middle window was decorated
With a border of lamr, on each side of which, over

them wortl Peace, was an olive branch in green lamps.
A trii)".'igle of lamps ornamented each window of the
6,,nt in Harley-street. The whole had a beautiful
eff.-ci.„lnd was very much admired-by a great, num-
-I,cr or. speeta,:tors:
Drury-Lane Theatre was most conspicuou4rdis-
tinguished by a very brilliant Illumination at the end
facing Covet-Garden. tarly in the day the Co-
lossal Figure at the top displayed a Flag and Pendant
over it. At night there appeared in a transparency
a Dove with an Olive Branch ; under, in brilliant
lamps, PeaCe and Plenty ; and under that, a, Wheat
Sheaf and Olive Leaves, in a very ektended and
most beautiful display of variegated Lamps. During
a great part. of the evening very .fine Fire-works-
were pl-aved off from the top of that immense struc-
ture, which had a very., grand effea, and drew
together an immense crowd of admiring Spe4ators..
—The fire-works, • which were very magnificent
throughout, concluded with the representation of a
ship completely on fire, which drew the loudest
huzzps from the astonished crowd. The whole of
the illumination, of this Theatre. does the highest
honour to theJiberality and taste of the-Managers.

Covent-Garden Theatre had a transparency ern-
blenttical of London, the 11fart of the World, sur-
rour.:?ed by variegated laulps very tasteful!), dispos-
ed.

tits' WEL Ls' exhibited a very beautiful
Tray.;parency, containing a Whole length Porttait
of is,MAJESTY sheathing the Sword of War, with
the 'our Ouarters of the Globe paying homage to
him. It was very prettily executed, and accompa.
nied by a great profusion of variegated lamps.
Lord WHITWVRTH had a grand display 'at his
house at Whitehall ; the initials of G. R. wreath cf
laurel, and all the windows hung to correspond.
Lord MELBOURNE had a number of flambeaux
round the parapet of his house.
Mr. STACKPOL E's house in Grosvenor-place made
a brilliant appearance ; though it did not exhibit
that blaze of •light which it displayed in the year
1789, on His Majesty's happy recovery.
WHITE'S in St. James's Street was among the most
distinguished of all the illuminations.. The emblems
of Peace were splendidly manifest in Olive branches,
as well as syMbols of Loyalty. All the Squar6 ne-
ttle West end of the town displayed a general gran-
deur of effe&, though there was nothing particular
in anyOf the houseS.
MARTINDALELE's in Bond Street made a very
magnificent appearance. THE CROWN and OLIVE
BRANCH were displayed with great splendour amidst
a profussion of lamps, very tastefully arranged.
• The British Coffee-house, Cock,spur-street.—A
ship entwined with laurels in lamps.
Among the many beautiful and fanciful transpa-
lcncies which demonstrated the joy of the inhabi-
tants at the return of Peace, we cannot but make
particular mention of the Plicenix Fire Office in
Lombard Street : it consisted of three diffet'ent
representations. On the one hand appeared a city
in flames with csnnort arid bombs playing upon it,
whale the corpse-of-a soldier was seen stretched on the
grourrl, with his wife extended upon it in a pa-
, zonye. ;nscri,ition under 01;1 q,-,!!r?
was. War and Dust ruaion.'! The middle.figure
represented Bellona met by 'Peace. The expres-
sion of Terror in the looks of the warlike God-
dess and her horses was , admirably executed.
Beneath this figure was placed the illscription,
" Glory to God, on high ;" and over it appeared
the word Peace, and a splendid star. The figure
on the other side, with the inscription. " Peace
and Renovation," exhibited Peace, with her olive
branch, seated .at Britannia's fat, while the tion
appeared again rouzed, Cities flourishing, and the ,
Phoenix ascending from the flames.
• At LACKINCTON, ALLEN and Co.'s, Temple of
the Muses, Finsbury-square, a very large and bril,
liant Transparency, representing Neptune alighting
from his shell; and cpndileting the fair form of
Peace. to Britannia, who, seared on her shore,
and divested of her warlike. emblems, receives
her with the warmest transports. The distance
is occupied by a view of the British Channel,
crowded with commercial shipping, a happy pre-
sage of the blessings,of Peace ! It was surmounted
by a large • star of variegated • lamps, which added
much to the effea. Fire-works of the finest de-
scription were displayed from the cupola.
_ _

At the entrance to the Exhibitio-n of Artificial
Stone Sculpture in the Westminster Bridge Road,
a large statue of the Angel of Peace, in that manu-
faefure, stood on a rock, with the Imperial,Crown
over her. In
.one hand she held a 'transparent
motto, " God has blessed hiS People with. Peace."
Her fine eye direaed• towards Heaven, to which
source her hand pointed the National Gratitude and
thanksgivings. Around her was a double circle of
bright lamps, like a Glory, with branches of olive,
and green lamps on each side. The whole was a
very novel design, and highly brilliant and senti-
mental.

Mr. PORTER, of Parliament..street, displayed a
most beautifill transparency : in the front was repre-
sented a Field-piece, with three of the Royal Ar-
tillery preparing to fire •to the right, and on the left
Peace, presenting an olive branch with one hand,
and with the other, preventing the Soldiers from
drawing the sponge from the cannon, who are in
the as of storming a Castle, and points to a DOve
who brings the happy tidings of Peace.

and the waves of the sea ,a beautiful green, had a
very charming effect. A brilliant crown at the top,
and the royal initials G. R. on ,each 'side in varie-
gated lamps, finished this grand design.

. We • never witnessed such immense crowds of
people in the streets of the Metropolis, as we
dittlast night ; but .it is equally honourable to the
good sense and
.the .generous disposition .of the pea-
ple, that no accident. occurred, or no violence hap-
pened that carne within' the scope of our most vigi.

indeed the windows of the House of two American
Booksellers were broken, because they would noc
put up even a farthing candle to chew their dispo-,
sition to huMour the wishes of the People of Eng.
land, but this was only a casual and contemptible
occurrence, in the brilliant celebration of so happy
an event.

A very shocking accident occurcd at the East
end of the New Church, in the Strand. A num-
ber of People were upon the top, and the space
'within the iron railing below was crowded. Some
of those above unfortunately leaning on the parapet,
threw over one of. the Urns, which falling amongst
the people below, killesi two men upon the spar,
and so much hurt a woman that she was not erred-
cd to live.

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING's BENCH, GUILDHALL,
APRIL 26.

MORE SIR SINION LE BLANCA AND A SPEGIAL JURY.

THE KING V. HENRIETTA KELFE.

MR. MINGAY_ said, it was with extreme con-
cern, and contrary to his expeaation, he found
himself called upon to state the particulars of a
transJaion which involved the names of persons
who were well known to him ; he had hoped that
by an adjustment of the difference of the parties be_
fore a private tribunal, the indidment would not
have been farther proceeded in, or that he should
have been authorized to' have. consented to ayerdia
Dr acquittal. Unfortunately his wishes had been
disappointed. This was an iniktment for wilful
and corrupt perjury, instituted apinst the Defen-
dant, Mrs. Henrietta Kelfe, the wife of James Kelfe,
who was also the object of another indidment for
the same offence, on the prosecution of the Re,yerend
Mr.. Ambrose, a. natural, son of Lord de Blaquiere.
Mrs. Kelfe, the Defendant, was the sister of Mr.
Ambrose's mother, and used frequently to be
visited by her nephew in the early period of life.
Strange as it might appear, these visits • had been
converted into the foundation of a pecuniary demand..
Mrs. Kelfe, previous to her 'marriage with her pre-
sent husband, had been codneded with a Gentleman
of the name of Hatton, who upon establishing hiin-
"self, had thought it prudent to settle an annuity
upon her, and to give her his bond for payment of
fool. Mr. Ambrose had been educated at Col-
leabe, with a view to:-the profession. of the Church,
and upon attaining a proper age, obtained through
the interest of Mr. Hatton, a Living, which was
now in the hands of Mr. Kelfe, -under a sequestra-
tion for 'the arrears of an annuity of tool. granted
by Mr. Arnbrose, inconsideration of the bond from
Mr. Hatton to his Aunt being delivered up to be
cancelled. An application had been some time since
made by Mr-Ambrose, to the Court of King's
Bench, to set aside this annuity, on the ground that
the true consideration was not set forth in the me-
morial‘ of the annuity deed. A. Rule was granted
to spew cause why the deed bond and warrant of
attorney, given as securities for the annuity, should
not be set aside. The Defendant, in answer to this
application, made an affidavit, in which she swore,
that before_ her marriage, with-
.Mr. Kelfe, her
nephew, Mr. Ambrose, was indebted to her in the
sum of 19001. for his support, education, and ad-
vancement in life—of course the Rule was discharg-
ed, and it was upon that affidavit the perjury alledged
by the present indidment, was assigned : the Pro-•
secutor would expressly state, that the annuity was
founded upon no such consideration, and Mr. Hat-
ton would prove, that on the contrary, the annuity
had been granted in consequence of his z 2001. bond
being delivered to him.
_ _

Mr. 'HATTON stated, that the bond be had given--
to Mrs. Kelfe, had been returned to him by the Pro-
secutor, Mr. Ambrose. It was delivered up as the
consideration for the next presentation to a Living
in his gift. Mrs. Kelfe was desirous of having the
net presentation for her nephew, and she had

ar,p' to.give up ate l?ond, it' he would allow 14t:r
to Iresent Mr. Arribrose.—On his cross-examina-
tion, he declined saying, whether he would-believe
what. Mr. Ambrose said on his oath.

Mr. Amaitosg, the Prosecutor', said, ne never
'was indebted to Mrs. Kelfe,' in the sum of 19001.
for his advancement in the world ; he considered
what she had done for hint not as a debt but a_gift ;
a day or two 'after he.was presented to the. Living
by Mr; Hatton, he granted the annuity-on - condi-
tion of the bond to his Aunt being given up. His
Aunt had always given him reason to believe she
would provide for him, and in the. year 1794, she
authorised him to go to Mr. Hatton, who agreed,
instead of paying his bond, 'to present him to one of
his Livings. On his cross-examination, he said he
was still a Clergyman of' the Church of England,
and the Incumbent under Mr. Hatton's presentation.
He admitted he had been under very many obliga-
tiont to his Aunt ever since he was born—he had
known but little difference -between his Aunt and
his mother. She had performed all the best offices
df-a parent towards him. -She had nurtured him
in 'his infancy, instru&ed him herself, procured
_masters for his initrutaiob, nursed him in sick.
ness, supported him in health, and done every
thing for him. He was now 3r years of age,
he had lived in the parish of St. James's, West-
minster; at present he lived where he could, and,
Unfortunately for him, as he could—he did -not
pat ticularly prefer the parish of
_St. James, because
it was notorious for containing, more gaining-houses
than any other parish. It was true, he was arrested
on Saturday last, in Pall-mall, but not as lie was
coming out of a gaming.house. He was married in
the year 1787, and had had five children. Three
of them, who were now alive; did not receive any
assistance from'him. From the period he hr 4 de-
serted the mother of his children, -his Aunt had sup-
ported the whole five, and now supported the three
who were living. He had, he confessed, "been com.

relied by his necessities, and the circumstance of
his father, Lord tie Blaquiere, abpndoning him,
been injured to commit ads he would otherwise
have been ashamed of ; but without the means of
support, and with the horrors of a gaol every day
before him, he was obliged to have recourse to a line
of condul neither justifiable or stridly moral,- his
situatipn as a Clergyman, obliged hin. to make an
appearance to which his means were inadequate.
The Counsel who cross-examined him, said, be
;loped he would be soon relieved from any difficulty
lie might be subjett to, on account of his being in-
vested with the sacred office of a Clergyman. After
the exhibition he had made of himself, it would be
but an ad of justice to recommend to the Bishop to
rid the Church of so unworthy a Member.
Mr. Mr AY cdriditty confessed, that it would
be an insult to public justice to press a case support-
ed as this was any further.

Sir S. LE BLANC was clearly of opinion, that the
alendant, by procuring a
.Living h'r her nephew,
!Lid laid the foundation for a-debc for his advance-
ment in 4ite. His Lortfihip said, he lamented,

,
wan a view to mere than 'one person, that suell a
scene as- this prosecution exhibited, should have
been laid before the Public.

The Defendant -was immediately found Not
Guilty, and a verdil of Acquittal was also recorded
on the indiament against her husband.

WATERS .v. COLLIER.

This was an Altion on a policy of Insurance on a
bottomry bond. The ship -Britannia sailed from
London fur Lisbon on the ta.th September 1798,
with a cargo of corn. On the Oth, she met. with
a heavy gale, and was obliged to put into Rams.
gate to refit. The repairs amounted to a consi-
deralile sum, Which Miers the Captain, was unable
to discharge. The Plaintiff, hOwever, advanced it
to him, he having first hypothecated the ship's bot-
tom. The Britannia again sailed, and joined con--
voy at Portsmouth, but the-day after was driven on
shore on the Isle of Wight, and so much da-
maged that she was covered with water every tide.
The original voyage had been insured, and the
owners. abandoned. The condition on which the
bond was payable, having thusfailed, the Plaintiff
brought his Action against the Underwriters. The
depositions of several Shipwrights were read, who
Swore.that the ship was so much damaged as not to
be worth repairing.
Mr. ADAM, their Counsel, rested their .defence
upon two grounds : t. That the bottomry bond was
involved ; and .2. that at any rate the ship had not
been utterly lost; and that the Plaintiff might thus
either have attached -.the ship. or-the per Son of the
Captain. It only in a foreign country, he said,
that the masteraaf a ship has a right to hypothecate
her for repairs. In Great Britain the owners, as
well as the Captain,..are liable. The bond was thus
nothing more than -the. personal security of Miers,
and:the Plaintiff had not an. insurable interest. But
he ehould prove that the ship was at this moment
upon the high seas,, loaded with a valuable,Cargo,
The Underwriters had sold her for 9001. to a Gen_
tleman, who floated her, and made her again sea.
worthy for the small sum of 1611. He did. no t
pretend that the ship should be
,annihilated, 'but
there could be no doubt that the meaning of the
parties was, that the bond should be in force, unless
the ship was so much injured as to be disabled from'
earning the freight for the future.
Froth the depositions read, it appeared that the
Tritarinia actually was again fitted for sea at a small
expence, and is now on her way. to Cork, loaded
with tea.

Mr. ERSKIIIE, Counscl for the Plaintiff, still con-
tendeittliat his client was entitled to recover. He
said it was of no importance whether the hypothe-
cation of the ship was valid or invalid ; the Plain-
tiff' was nevertheless interested; for he had advanced
money, which was repayable only on condition .of
the ship's arrival. The ship having been got afloat
so easily, was merely owing to chance, and ought
to have no influence over the minds of the Jury.
The voyage had been lost, the most skilful ship-
wrights had pronounced her unfit to be repaired,
and the owners had abandoned her. This certainly
was destrationin the sense of the condition of the
bond.

Mr. Justice LE BLANC said, that what was an,
insurable interest had of late been so very much de-
bated,.. and whether the Plaintiff in this case had an
insurable. interest, he should reserve.for the opinion
of the Court. He merely desired the Jury to consider
whether such a loss had taken place as would free
the Captain from responsibility, and thus make the
,Underwriters liable.---Verdi} for the Plaintiff.

We are informed a meeting was lately held at
the Swan Hotel in Wolverhampton, by the Farmers
of that neighbourhood, to petition the House of
Commons against the intended additional Duty on
Malt ; and that but one obscure inhabitant could be
found to countenance the measure, Whilst we

justly admire the good sense and loyalty of this large
raanufaduring town, in abstaining from any -such
unseasonable opposition towards raising the neces„
sary supplies of Government, we cannot but at the
same time severely condemn the illiberal stzet of.
those who, after having fattened so long the
miseries of the poor, endeavour to avoid bearing
their just proportion of Taxes towards the exigen-
cies of the State. We believe that a scene of great-
er disgrace to-obtain signatures to a petition has
seldom been witnessed. The Chairman, who
lives at a considerable distance from- the place, and
who has no. interest in, or.connedion with it, was
seen during the festival of Easter, to hang out skins
of parchment from the windows of the Hotel, to so.
licit the names of the straggling populace. Even
ostlers and barbers' apprentices were thought fit to
be employed in this degrading business. We have
authority., however, to say, that the respeCiable in-
habitants of the town treated the petition with
silent. indignation and contempt. Let the Yeo-
manry of Great Britain respell themselves, if they
wish to be respeded, and refrain from visiting the
workshops of the poorest mechanics to oppose the
measures of Government. We have given them
credit for stepping forward in defence of their MD-
try when in danger. Let us hear then no more of
their encouraging popular tumults by mis-statement
and inflammatory language ; lest. the ardour they
formerly strewed may justly be suspected to have
arisen rather from a desire.to monopolize the neces.
saries of life, than to have flowed from a pure spi.
rit of patriotism.

We understand a Meeting has been convened in
the City of Coventry by the Mayor and Aldermen,
preparatory to 'the nomination of Candidates to re-

present that City in •Parliament at the ensuing
Eleetion,.when they came to several Resolutions,
and among them the following : • •

" That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that the attempt
of any. In‘livirtual to convert the Representation of this City
into a Saleable Bofough, is derogatory to the true Interest,of
the Freemen, and disgracteful, to the fitinour and Chilaeter of
the City." .
