ril E ILLUMINtITIONS.

THIRb
The interest and novelty, so far from suffering a
declension, were -increased last night. The specta-
tors collected from all parts of the town, and for
twenty miles around the metropolis, persons were
pouring in. by stages and other vehicles, during the
whole of the preceding day. Ere the hour of four in
the afernoon the laMplighters began their labours, it
being found, by the experience of the two former ex-
hibitions, that sufficient hands could not be procured
to execute the work before one in the morning ; in
many places it Was nearly two o'clock. In conse-
quence of these delays, his Excellency the Spanish
Ambassador and the•lqarchioness of Downshire be-
gan to illuminate their extensive dwellings three
boars before the close of day ; even at Carlton-house
• the preparations commenced where the want of
could not be felt. Here, in addition to the
former devices, were added over each of the great
entrance-gates, branches of,lanrel, composed wholly
of variegated lamps ; they added interest to the gene-
eai effect. At nine o'clock a procession of the mobility
excited not a little interest ; about 100 men passed
the Public Offices, along Charing-Cross, ar I up Pall
Mall, wearing white cockades, preceded by the Bour-
. bon standard and music. They were followed by a
n-nared cutter, drawn on a carriage, and filled with
Jad Tire, with their blue jackets, white 'cockades in
their caps, and the Bourbon ensigns. As the night
advanced the crowd increased. It was absolutely
impossible to make way in the direction of dirlton-
house ; the assembled multitude were incalculably
great. Here they formed in close phalanx.
At eleven o'clock a scene of confusion took place
which &Tzar: all deecription I A hint had been dropt
that the PRINCE REGENT, with his usual *liberality,
meant to entertain the populace with the same marks
of royal munificence as when the town illuminated in
honour of the illustrious WELLINGTON, last summer.
Their expectations were realized. At eleven o'clock
the great gates on the East and West were thrown
open, six hogsheads of strong beer were trundled out
into the street. In a moment the heads of each cask
were staved, and. for want of a better substitute, the
mob took their hats to drink the beer out of. The
screaming of the women, the huazaing of the men,
the firing of guns and pistols, rent the skies. Drums,
trumpets, horns, hand-bells, marrow-bones and clea-
vers, added to the general confusion. Among the
other exhibitions, were parties of dustmen dressed in
white flannel jackets, walking in single files, ringing
their bells, and wearing the white cockade.
Among the principal objects of additional attrac-
tion were . ral transparencies in Piccadilly.
One representing Britannia, with her attributes ; a
female figure of Justice was inflicting retribution on
the Corsican tyrant rime pourtrayed the glorious
achievements of our Allies, with a motto, " Euro-
pean liberty restored." This transparency was well
palmed, and of a vast size. Another in the same.
qua. ter of similar dimensions, represented the burn.
, ing of Me. cow, with Bonaparte and his principal
Generals viewing, in the' open street, the conflagra-
tion with petrified horror and dismay depicted in their
countenances ; contiguous to the latter we noticed
the city of Paris, with the inhabitants opening their
gates to the ciinquerors, Alexander, Schwartzehberg,
and the gallant vets ran Blucher.
One which seemed to have tlie strongest interest
for the populace, was hung over a cook's shop in
Fleeosereet. Its inscription was "Jahn Bull !rims WI
again." John Bull was seated at a table, with a
captivating slice of roast beef on his plate, a bottle
of brandy in the centre. a huge plumpudding above,
and at the extremity a large loaf, with 7d. marked
upon it.
THE SPANISH AMBASSADOR'S, ON HAY•HILL.—
Amazingly grand. The whole of this stupendous
mansion was illuminated, from the summit to the
base; encircling the E.ut, West, and. South sides of
this pile, were columns, festoons, and other devices
in variegated lamps, together with the following ex-
pressive words in large capitals;` "To the Repose of
Europe, arid the return of good Old Times." Over :
the pediments to the entrance-ball appeared. Ferd-
inand VII. surmounted by the Spanish diadem, and
wreaths of laurels, stars, rosettes, lozenges, and
triumphant pillars.
'rah: POlrii. LA; EAR ASIBASSA Doles—Brilliant beyond
all former precedent. Triumphal arches. the effect
of which were encommonly vivid and beautiful
crowns, laurel leaves, and other symbolical devices.
RUNDELL AND BRIDGE'S—WAS adorned with the let-
ters R. A. P. beneath a Star; on each side fear de
with laurel leaves—G. P. R.: on each side two
artificial columns, hung with lamps.
Ma. BLADES, LUDGATE-lllLL—had an elegant trans-
parency, representing the Emperor Alexander, and
the King of Prussia sitting in a triumphal car, pre-
ceded by Fame, and attended by Blucher and Platotf
on horseback. Old men and women are represented
on their knees imploring blessings on their deliverers,,
while the young are hisatening to strew their path
with flowers, and two female figures in a kneeling
posture, are offering each Sovereign a mural crown,
and a cock, the emblem of France, is exulting at the
glorious spectacle. In the back ground is seen a
triumphal arch, through which tlor Monarchs are
about to pass ; on one side of whichis the statue of
Bonaparte falling from its pedestal. Above this was'
the bust of our own immortal hero, and round it the
words Victorions Wellington." The whole was
surmounted by two large and elegant silk colours,
decorated with white ribbands, and appended to large
branches of real laurel.
At Penny's Coffee-house, the Griffin in the Adel-
pbi, a Transparency representing a British Sailor,
after offering
.the Olive Branch to an American, on
refusal, chastising him by flogging him with a horse-
whip. On the back ground New York and shipping,
Ake. surmounted by the fear de lye, .and on each side
the Flags of England and her Allies • together with
- a Lion rampant supporting the British Sailor, and a
Serpent the American, being emblematical of their
respective countries. A motto round—at top, Eng-
kth valour pitnishing American Perfidy ; below
Fiat Justitia mat Ccelum s at the bottom, the Brooke
that empties the Chesapeake into the Shannon.
OwaLev's, in Bond-street, exhibited a singular and
beautiful display of allegorical objects suited for the
eccasion in the centre was a well-painted Transpa-
sency, grouping figures of Commerce, Peace and
Victory, the former raised by the hand of Peace and
Plenty a distant view of the ocean and ships, de-

nominated the maritime strength ortritain Victnrf
hovered with a Crown of Laurel over the French
Arms, on which was inscribed. •' Legitimate Rights
restored." The whole length of the balcony was
filled with new-invented trostatic lamps with ground
glass globes, the light issuing from which, perfectly
illumined that part of the street. and produced an ef-
fect truly novel. The waving Flags of England and
France, and superb gc.lden Anchors, added to the
spl.mdour of this unique arrangement.
THE ROYAL EXCHANGE was brilliant. The front
was decorated with numerodi lamps, and the back,
being the premises frequented by the Subscribers to
Lloyd's, exhibited in large letters, " Lloyd's, Ships,
Colonies, and Commerce—Peace, with Stars, &c."
At all quarters the bursts of joy were tumultuous
and incessant ; and if they were not sent forth in a
" coucord of sweet sounds," yet the swelling gran-
deur of the whole produced a novel kind of harmony,
that couldupot have displeased even the fine ear Of
Handel I On the whole we may assert, that we never
witnessed such enthusiastic and universal expressions
of delight as those of the last evening—.-

" Joy was in every face without a cloud;
" As in the scene of opening Paradise,
" The whole creation danc'd at their new being t
" Pleas'd to be what they were; pleas'd with each other !"

THE THISBE.—This frigate, lying off Greenwich,
Rear Admiral Legge's flag-ship, was most splen- ,
didly illuminated on Monday night. Within a few
minutes of the time appointed, some very powerful
rockets were let off from the main deck, and after.
wards from the main-top-mast head, on the explosion
of which, at their utmost height, the air was illumi-
ned by amass of brilliant lights. After near a dozen
of these had ascended in grand style, the Thisbe be-
came instantaneously, from yard-artn to yard-arm,
and from the decks to the main-top-mast head, a
beautiful illumination of what are called the blue-
lights, whose, chastened lustre produced an effect the
most pleasing and beaut'ful. This was done twice,
and with the same celerity as if with gas lights.- -
The sight was very novel, and highly gratifying toa
great many spectators.
RICEOIOND FiItILICKS.—An amusing scene was ex-
hibited bete on Easter Monday, by the watermen
and young people of the town marching in procession
to celebrate the downtal of Bonaparte, dressed in
white cockades, lilies, and various devices. At the
head of the procession appeared King Louis XVIII.
in his royal robes. Next came Bonaparte, ludicrously
clad, with a ponderens cable round his neck, and
assailed with sarcasms on every side, particularly by
a person calling himself the Corporal that blew up
the bridge at Leipz;c. The Ex-King Joseph ap-
peared in a Spanish coat, much worn and patched ;
but in which he felt a good deal incommoded, as it
was evidently not made for him. The rest of his
dress was rather ala tam culotte ; not that Joseph was
a friend to that exploded fashion, but because the
Arch-treasurer had slipped Away one morning with
the whole of the royal wardrobe in a handkerc.hiet,
together with the royal exchequer, which the King
had deposited the preceding night in the pocket of
leis regimental small clothes. The villainous Arch-
treasurer stripped him of every thing, except the Spa-
nish coat, and an old cocked hat, given him by his
brother Nap. Poor Jerome appeared with his mua-
tachais and whiskers turned grey with grief. The
processi,an ended with loud hiszzaing, and the firing
off of a few guns on the bank of the River.

Bow-sreetr.—The issuing of the !latices from this
Office and by the Lotto Maron, had the desired effect
in most parts of the town, to prevent the discharging
of fire-arms and fire-wcrks ; but at Somerset House
the mob was last night extremely riotous, and several
were brought to the Office. Mr. iiiitme sat till past
twelve o'clock on Tuesday night convicting the of-
fenders. Two known thieves were found among
them, and were brought up by the Limbericks, and
fully committed.
A young woman of a very genteel appearances
and a -tall elegant figure, was brought to the Office,
and charged by a gentleman of rank and fashion
with stealing from-him his gold watch, of the value
of thirty guineas, and a gold chain and seal, on Hay•
hill, 'Berkeley-square, on Monday night. The priso-
ner stated in her defence, that the prosecutor accos- '
ted he. in Berkeley•square, prolesscd himself to be
extremely struck with the elegance of her person ;
and, after some conversation, intreated her to promise
to meet him again ; and as a pledge that he was se-
rious, he insisted, upon her taking his watch ; and as
he appeared so very sincere in his wish, she took it,;
and in return she gave him a valuable ring, and
agreed to meet him at the time and place appointed
on Tuesday evening. After she had separated from
him but a very few yards, she was attacked by seve-
ral men, who knocked her down, and took a number
of indecent liberties with her person, so that she was
senseless for a short time ; in which attack she lost
the prosecutor's watch, but whether the men robbed
her of it, or she dropped it out of her hand, she coeld
not be positive. On Tuesday evening, however, she
met the prosecutor agreeably to appointment, and
related to him what had happened, at which he ap-
peared extremely distressed, particularly lest his fa-
mily should know how he had lost it, and charged her
with having made away with it, and accordingly pro-
' cured the assistance of Salmon, belonging to the Of-
fice, who took her into custody, and brought her to
the Office. Mr. BIRNIE told her the account she had
given of the disposal of the watch was so very mar-
vellous, that it could not be believed. She however
persisted in the correctness of her statement, gave g
, very full account of herself, and described herself to
be s dress-maker. The prosecutor stated, that he
had been el;ning out, and had drank freely, but frankly
confessed that he recollected what had passed between
him and the prisoner, and that he had given her his
watch as a pledge to meet him again on Tuesday
evening. The prisoner, in her own defence, said,
that if she had disposed of the watch improperly, she
should not have met the prosecutor again as appoin-
ted.—She was discharged.
Margaret Bryan was charged with stealing two
Bank of England notes, of the amount of £5O each,
the property of Mr. llrookry, of Lumber-court, a
fishmonger. The prosecutor kept the notes in a tea-
tannister in his bed-room for soma time, and when
he went to take one out, he found they had been both
stolen. The prisoner had lived in Lis service, and she
confessed her guilt ; but said., that not being able to
read, she considered them as only Al notes. flit offi-
cer has recovered above S'6o. She was cusguitted,

Aturchy catne on the trial ot Mown Whist, charged
with forging and uttering a bill of exchange, tvi:h
intent to defraud Job Thatcher, of Newnhant, in this
county. The prisoner, it will be recollected, is the
person who has so often assumed die clerical charac-
ter, and perfortred the functions of that sacred office
in various parts of the kingdom. It was during his
residence at Newriham in this capacity that he passed
the bill he stood charged with forging, for £3O, which
he pretended was Sue to him, as a quartet's stipend
for the living he held at Ballyporeen, in Iceland.—'
This bill bore the acceptance of Wm. Jennings, 8,
Longford street, Dublin (upon whom k was drawn).
who attended to prove such acceptance a forgery;
but an objection was taken to his evidence, and, after
a long argument by the Counsel on both sides, the
Court over-ruled the examination of Mr. Jennings, as
an interested witness, who would be benefited to the
amount of the sum stated, should the.forgery be esta-
blished. The whole of the remaining evidence against

the prisoner was gone through, but no witnesses were
called in his defence. The indictniept contained six
counts; on the first and fifth of which, charging the
prisoner, the former with forging and the latter with
uttering the bill, the Jury, after a very shcrt deli-
beration, found a verdict of Guilty ; but sentence
was not passed.

WEXFORD, MARC!" 22.
A humorous scene took pl.ice between two doctors;
the one a prosecutor, the other A defendant.
It srems that the Grand Jury issued a presentment,
that one Rickard Kain, then in custod.r, was a va-
grant, having no certain place of abod.
The presentment was traversed, and the Judge in •
quired who was to support the presentment ?
-

The Rev. Doctor Jacob was then sworn. He de
posed that he was lately travelling through the cont.
try, and, having stopped to letit in a village, he walked
into the street, and entered into conversation with an
acquaintance. The defendant joined the party, an I
mixed in the conversation. The D.tctor was snuck
with his solemn manner and 'conversati.m, and n, t
quite pleased with his intrusion : he made inquiry
who he was, but could gain no information from the
publican, or the grocer, or the exciseman, or any
body else; he therefore (being a Justice of Prue)
thought himself hound to apprehend the stringer as
a vagrant, who declined to give any account of
excekit, in a wild manner.
Court.—" Defendant, have you any questions to
put to this witness 1"
Defendiu::.—" In:o Dmitir Judex, volo rogare, an
Medicus ea isle tugs, Clericuil nam Doaoran re
jactitare Ilidetar."
Conrt.--". Answer the defendant."
Witness.—" My Lord, it is many years since 1 was
at school, and I am not now very flippant in the
Latin."
Defendant.—" ProA parlor ! Mtlierade, Domine Ja-
dfx irte. Tau: nose law verbuin in bursa ; win 'mica
re:ponder& Interrogavi how Ductorem, narn
Meth as
ego seal : eed ouid de isto fisttvsxlum, gui littrarum pcnitus
exterreor se fatetur ?''
Court.—" The defent!ait asks, whether you are a
physician or a clergyman ?"
Witness.—" A clergyman, my Lord."
Here the defendant burst into an elegant effusion
of angry 'Latin, commenting upon the evidence, vin-
dicating his good fame and sondition of life from the
accusation preferred by Doctor Jacob, and averring
himself to be no vagabond.
The oration naturally collected a prodigious audi-
ence, and excited high amusement, testified by peals
of laughter.
Amidst the general clamour a very respectable
looking man came •forward, and desired to be exa-
mined. He deposed, that he was a shopkeeper in
Newtown-Barry ;—happened to be in the hall until
the noise and laughter attracted him into the Court,
where he instantly rcognised the defendant, whom
he knew to be a resident in Newtown-Barry—a harm-
less, eccentric man, loud of relieving the poor, sup-
plying then; with medicines, and benevolently ram•
Wing through the country in order to do good.
Upon this evidence, his Lordship directed the Jury
to find for the defendant, who appeared to ascribe his
success to his Latinity.
Upon being discharged, he made a low obeisance
to the Judge, saying, " Ago tibi grathi:, Domine Mae,
dude Judex. Sal to (turning contemptuously to his
prosecutor) vale, vale, nail porticc spernere Tere duties,
vel twos Dotioree."

Munnea.—On Tuesday last two Sheriff's officers
went to the house of Jacob Francis, at Witham, near
Launceston, to levy an execution on his goods. On
stating their business they were violently assaulted by
Francis (who is an old man), his wife, and family,
who, being armed with sticks, knives, &c. compelled
the officers to withdraw, after an ineffectual attempt
to discharge their duty, in which they were both
wounded. Having procured the assistance of some
constables of Launceston, the officers again repaired
to the house, where they found the door shut, and
the family armed, and were told that whoever dared
to enter should lose his life. They, however, forced
an entrance, and having seized the old man, were
about to disarm him, when a fowling-piece was dis-
charged at one of the constables, named Jory, and its
contents having entered his side, he tell dead on the
spot. The whole Mille family were taken into custody.
A young woman of genteel appearance, while
standing on the top of One-tree-hill, Greenwich, on
Monday, was frequently pressed to join in the spor-
tive race, but as frequently declined. At length a
fellow seized her by the arm and dragged her vio-
lently down the steepest part. Being unprepared for
the shock, she had not got many paces ere she fell,
and finished her career by rolling down the rest of
the hill, when her head came in contact with a small
stone, and was dangerously fractured. She was taken
up by the surrounding throng, and conveyed sense-
less to the George Tavern, where surgical aid was pro-
cured, but she still remains in a doubtful state. The
ruffian attempted to escape among the crowd, but he
was seized, and lodged in the cage, till the event of
his brutality can be ascertained.
Saturday one of the elegant mansions newly erected
at the top of Portland-place took fire, and before its
progress could be arrested, the whole of the 'major
of the house was entirely consumed.
