FOR THE SUN.

MR. Etmon—The town of. Birmingham has
been in some little degree disgraced by the con-
duct of our, Radical Friends, who, by the assist-
ance of our Constables, -have contrived to get up
a bit of an illumination for the QUEEN. We must
do our Constables the justice of saying they are
but young in office, one of them being sworn in
only on Friday last. They went to the Magis-
trates on Monday, when they -found that th©
Londoners had been illuminating forthe-Queen,
and asked their advice, as it was understood that
some persons wished to illuminate ; the answer
was, " Let those who choose to illuminate do so,
but protect those who do not.". immediately
upon receiving this jadiclous answer they issued
the fulloiying Bill :
" The Constables of Birmingham understanding that it is
the wish and intention of the inhabitants to illuminate their
houses this evening, in consequence of the withdrawing of the
Bill which had been introduced into the House of Lords
against her Majesty the Queen, beg to suggest to their fel-
low townsmen, that the Public accomodation will be bile
consulted by illuminating foe one evening, viz. to-morrow,
Tuesday, the 14th. The Constables also think proper to
'state, that they shall, on the occasion now referred to, ,put
in force such regulations as cannot fail to promote and secure
tl.ie utmost peace and tranquillity.
JAMES BEALS, }Constables.

Such was the determination these judicious
Gentlemen came to, and the result was, that an
illumination, upon a small scale was got up.

The Wardens of the different Churches re-
fused the use of the bells, and not one was heard
throughout the night.
I shall not particularize the houses who exhi-
bited on this occasion, for it Was almost univer-
sally observed, that the lighter the character of
the proprietor the more abundant were the lights
in honour of the virtuous Queen. Never did we
see a more decided mark of the opinion of

the respectable part 'of the community : many
houses had not• a light; in others only two or
three in a window, just to preserve them ; and,
generally speaking, the 'whole carried a most
sombre appearance. had not the bill above men-
tioned been issued, there would not have been
any illumination. The populace behaved very
well upon the whole, very few windows being
broken,; the friends of the Queen seemed rather
vexed, but they did not manifest their feelings by
any outrages.

EMIGRANT SETTLEMENT AT TIIE CAPE OF GOOD
HopE.—We have already announced' to our
Readers the arrival of satisfactory intelligence
from the Deal Party of Settlers at the Cape of
Good Hope,,and have now the further satisfac-
tion of stating, that letters, dated " New Deal,
23d of August" last, have been received, confirm-
ing in every respect the previous accounts. -We
have been favoured with the perusal of one of
these letters which states " that the party are all
well, and
,have no doubt of doing well ; they
have already on their grazing grounds twenty-
five bullocks and cows, have sown their bread
corn, 'have cabbages planted out, radishes (of
seed carried from Deal) fit to pull, peas and
beans up. A division of the party attends solely
to ,fishing, which employment produces diem
enough to keep the whole. They write in the
highest possible spirits, and advert with great
admiration and thankfulness to the fatherly care
and fostering protection of Government, which,
from the first day of their application to Lord
up to the present moment, has been
unremitting and kind in the extrerne."—(illorn-
