BURNING SIR H. PEEL IN EFFIGY
AT CARNARVON, NORTH WALES.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Caawanvox, SATuaray.---Yesterday evening the inha-
bitants of this town showed their detestation of Sir R. Peel's
proposed the monopoly Minister in effigy.
About
was carried in procession to the
steps
leading g
entranceffinignoygf the Castle, and there an indict-
ment,eea i measures,inh
gt
too'clock,the yt
the
beuer b
setting forth the crimes of tlse culprit was read and
sentence of death passed in the usual form. After the mock
trial, the effigy was paraded through the town to the centre of
Castle-square, when turpentine was poured upon it, and then
set on fire. The figure continued to burn amidst the cheers of
the populace for upwards of a quarter of an hour. There
could not have been less than 4,000 persons present on the oc-
casion, everything passed off quietly.
It is a curious fact that, the only person ever remembered to
have been burned in effigy in this town, was the notorious
Tom Paine.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
six—A novel exhibition has just now been brought to a
close, viz., the trial, condemnation, and execution of Sir Robt.
Peel. His effigy blued admirably, while a dense populace
groaned and hooted the while. The people were called toge-
ther by drum NIA fife an hour before the commencement, as
also two or three days before by advertisement. The autho-
rities here (unlike the Northampton officials) had the good
sense to suffer the people to vent their deep disappointment and
execration on the stuffed representative of the eliding Premier,
without taking any steps that might have been attended with
danger to the peace and tranquillity of the town. While sus-
pended on the gibbet, bolding in his hand the Tory Blackburn
Standard newspaper, and having an inscription on his hat
printed with large type informing the bystanders that he (Sir
Robert) was the determined advocate of a sliding scale, the
multitude amused themselves with playing off their wit, and
showing how detestable he and his measures were in their
eyes. Within three hundred yards of the spot on which execu-
tion was done on the representative of Sir Robert, stands the
house in which his father drew his first breath —Yours,
AN ENEMY TO ALL MONOPOLY.
Saturday, Seven o'clock l'. se.•
The people after the affair was brought to a close quietly
dispersed. , How different it would have been had the civil or
military force been called out.
[The name of the town where this exhibition took place is
not mentioned by our Correspondent, but we presume it is
Blackburn.—En. Sun.l
