a very happy effect. Fireworks were Also exhibited
in different quarters of thh town. •
GREENOCK.—This town, followini the eiariiifle of
Glasgow, was almost universally illuniinated. No '
Magisterial edict, either of conintind or forbiddance,
was issued--:-the Public were left to act as they
thought fit—but a general iinderstindlng prevailitig
throughout the earlier part of the day, that some-
thing of the kind would take plate, the lighting up
was nearly unanimous ; and every one seemed to en-
joy it heartily.
EAGL ESIIAM.-- This 'place WiS beautifully
inmi-
nated, and a large fire kindled at the Cross, when
the inhabitants paraded round the Village with an in-
strumental band, and returned to the Cias.'.where a
few appropriate toasts were drank, and the band
continued playing a number of favourite airs. The
whole ended about twelve o'clock at night in peace
and quietness, and not a pane of glass was broken.
Friday evening, there were illuMinations at Leith'.
and Newhaven. At Leith, the mob brought one of
the landwaiters' centry-boxes from the Quay to the
front of the Town-house, Placing a tar barrel inside,
made a bonfire of it. Some outrages on the houses
of those who did not illuminate were also committed.
The villages of Prestonpans and Preston were illu-
minated in honour of the Queen's acquittal.
AIRDRIE.—This town never exhibited a scene so
replete with heartfelt joy, as on the receipt of the
joyful intelligence that her Majesty had, after a se-
vere trial, triumphed over her enemies. Bonfires,
firing of small arms, and everything that could de-
monstrate their feelings, were evinced on the occasion.
Tuesday se'nnight, the colours of the different In.-
corporations in Arbroath were suspended from the
windows of their respective Deacons, while the flags
of the vessels in the harbour were hoisted, in testi-
mony of rejoicing on account of the fate of the Bill
of Pains and Penalties.

CoNoLzrox.—On the arrival at Congletoh, sit
Cheshire, of the glorious news of the termination
of the trial of our most gracious Queen; a number
of the loyal-rpirited Gentlemen; wishing to gladden
the hearts of their fellow-townsmen by having a
merry peal rang, applied, but in vain, to the Church-
warden, for the loan of the keys of the steeple.—
As, however, it is a custom there to toll a bell at
half-past ten o'clock every evening, a great con-
course of the most respectable inhabitants collected
before that hour at the door of the steeple, and fairly
got possession. The bells were then rung—not to be
sure in die xnanner of treble-bobs, but so as to make
a noise that was' heard far and wide, until twelve
o'cleck, when they went quietly home, after giving the
Churchwarden, and an Attorney who counselled him
to keep the keys, a few huzzas in honour of the Queen.
In consequence of a numerous and respectable Re-
quisition to the Mayor, a Meeting of the Inhabitants
was called, when an Address of Congratulation to
her Majesty was agreed on, and a general illumina-
tion was fixed for the 27th instant, when these will be
bonfires and roasting of sheep in honour of the glori-
ous triumph of justice over cruelty and oppression.
Moxmourn.—The enthusiastic joy with which the
news of the rejection of the Bill against her Majesty
was received in this town, on Saturday se'llni.t;ht, was
succeeded by a geno.al illumination on the Wednes-
day following. Our victories by sea or Land were never
more cordially hailed. At the close of the evening,
the Town Hall beamed forth .in the majesty of day;
which was further brightened by the brilliancy Of the
extended front of the King's Head Inn, and the
hou.es in line with it, at the west end of the Hall,
and which was again met, in front, by the generous
spirit of every inhabitant in Agincourt-square ; but
this effect was overpowered by the bonfire light in
the square, made up with faggots, sugar hogsheads,
and tar-barrels, to a considerable height, and, when
set on fire, dispensed a blaze rising to the summit of
the building, %Mich was cheered by long and loud
huzzas, while the bells of the Church added their
merry peals to the acclamations of the surrounding
multitude.

Wednesday seennight, Montrose was generally il-
luminated on the occasion of the termination of the
proceedings against the Queen. There were also bon-
fires, fireworks, and other demonstrations of popularl
rejoicing. Brechin was liken ise brilliantly
illumi-
nated on the same evening. Many very appropriate
devices were exhibited.

COVENT RT.—Tuesday se'nnight having been chosen
for the illumination of this ancient and loyal City,
all classes vied with each other in demonstrating
their joy at the signal defeat of her Majesty's ene-
mies. In the morning, one ox and fifty-one sheep
were toasted and distributed aniongst the populace ;
in the evening, most of the hpeses were brilliantly
lighted up, and those Jacobils who refused to join
in the general triumph, were tiermitted to enjoy their
gloom in undisturbed silenc Processions, with
white ribbons, paraded the streets, accompanied by
music and banners, and carrying two Green Bags,
the one full of filth, representing the materials col-
lected by the Milan Commission ; the other, turned
inside out, emblematic of its exposure and destruc,
tion. These were afterwards kicked about the town-
and then consigned to the flames at Coventry Cross,
amidst the most deafening groans, and with every
mark of popular indignation.—Lord Hood, on en-
tering the town in the evenin, was met by the po-
pulace, who took the horses from his carriage, and
drew him into the town, surrounded by all the re-
spectable inhabitants, vying with each other in dis-
playing their approval of his Lordship's conduct in
opposing the iniquitous Bill of Pains and Penalties.

Drapers' Hall, in honour of her Majesty's triumph,
and was then likewise most rapturously greeted. Yesterday, his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK
