REJOICINGS IN VIE COUNTRY.

-

TO THE EDITOR (YIP TUE STAR.
MASSE ?MD, Nov. 28.

Sra-L•The Members of the Reading-room at this
place beg you to receive their unfeigned thanks for
your exertions in the cause of our persecuted Queen—
she has had a glorious triumph !—and request you
to insert the following among the list of the rejoicings
so common in every part of the country.
A numerous party of the most respectable inhabi-
tants of this town and neighbourhood dined together
at the Crown Inn, when Nicholas Isaac, Esq. was
President, and Dr. Thomas Newman, Vice-President.
The dinner was excellent, and well served up, and re-
flected great credit on the new-come landlord (Mr.
James Clark). " The King," was drank with every
-token of loyalty and becoming respect ; and the
next toast—" Our magnanimous—our glorious
Queen !" with repeated cheers. These were fol-
lowed by many other truly loyal and appropriate
toasts. A band of music played many national airs
in fine style. Never was there a happier party met
to celebrate so glorious an event. The decorations
in the room ought not to be omitted—not only vari-
ous devices, but the inside almost covered with
laurel, so as to form an alcove, interspersed with
white ribbon, tastefully entwined. The rejoicings
have been very general, and there is a Ball in con-
templation, to be given on the same occasion at the
above Inn, which will be attended by all the beauty
and fashion of this loyal place and its vicinity ; and
a general illumination is expected.
CHESTER, Nov. 27.—As our immaculate and
worthy friend, The Courier, will, I doubt not, be fur-
nished with the particulars of this day's proceedings
from some of his colleagues here, I wish, though very
feebly, to give you a short description of the recep-
tion of Earl Grosvenor, on his return to his seat at
Eaton. He was met at the upper end of Boughton;
his Lordship's horses were taken from his carriage, and
the populace drew him through the city to the Lodge
of his Park, a distance of upwards of three miles,
bands of music playing, and flags flying, and after
giving his Lordship three times three hearty cheers,
they returned in regular order to the city, and dis-
persed. What is most to be admired on this occa-
•sion is, that the proceedings against her MAJESTY
liAve had the happy effect of uniting the different opi-
nions of the local politicians, and each pasty seemed
to trying to be foremcht in shewing their aimira-
tica cf his Loi dship's independent principles.
COLNE, NOVFNIBER 9.s.—The news of the aban-
donment of the hateful proceedings against the
Queen, reached this place on Sunday, the 12th inst.
and immediately spread through the town and neigh-
bouihood wide inconceivable rapidity, producing an
extraordinary sensation. On Monday, the inhabitants
ere anxious to testify their exultation in a public
manner, and the bells of the Church were about to
be rung, when the Parson interfered, and prevented
it fur that day. However this had only the effect of
still more rousing the public feeling ; and, on Wed-
nesday at. noon, notice was given of an illumination
in the evening; and before seven o'clock almost
every window in the town and neighbouring villages
were in one general blaze of light; there were, in-
deed, a few who appeared to love darkness rather
than light. The bells were merrily rung to a late
how. About eight o'clock, an effigy, to which the
populace gave the name of Liverpool, was borne
through the town on a large pole, with an enormous
Green Bag tied on his back, and wat at last burnt
at the Mai ket-cross ; there was also another effigy,
which liad several names given to it ; such as Cas-
tlereagh, Mijocchi, Sacchi, &c. according to their
fancy, which at last shared the same fate as the
former. During all this time the streets were exces-
sively crowded by the exulting inhabitants, and the
scene was enlivened by a band of music playing
through the town at intervals.. Not the slightest
outrage was committed, and the evening was spent
in the most convivial and cheerful manner.
