REJOICINGS IN THE COUNTRY.

GUILDFORD, Nov. 14.—As soon as it was known
that Min sters had abandoned the odious Bill to de-
grade the QUEEN, the most enthusiastic joy prevailed
here, and .iiany of her Maaitsrv's warmest friends
illuminated on Saturday night ; but on Monday
night a general illumination took place throughout
this ancient and loyal town : a number of appropriate
transparencies were exhibited, and a grand display
of fireworks took place. During the evening a large
green bag, filled with combustibles, entitled " Milan
Filth," was suspended across the High-street, near
the New Mai ket-House ; when set on fire, the con-
tents exploded in the air, in ten thousand fragments,
amidst the univer al acclamations of the spectators.
FAREINGDON, BERES, Nov. 14.—Saturday morn-
ing, when the mail brought us the glorious intelli-
gence that the Bill was thrown out, many of the
most respectable inhabitants ran towards the Church,
and runn•ng up the belfry stairs, the bells instantly
struck up a merry peal. A white flag was hoisted
en the Tower, amid the firing of Inn, and sounds
of menial music; at night the inhabitants paraded
through the town with white favours in their hats.
TlTe Rev. Mr. CLEosuste ordered the flag to be taken
down, but the Churchwardens refused to comply.—
All business .% as at an end. Wednesday is fixed for
an illumination, a ball, and public dinner.
DEviEss.—The arrival of the mail on Saturday
morning last with the cheering intelligence of the
termination of the late disgraceful Bill against our
much. injured QUEEN was hailed with rapture by the
inhabitants of Devizes, who testified their pleasurable
feelings by the most heartfelt rejoicings. The event
was celebrated on Monday evening by a general illu-
mination, displaying many transparencies and devi-
ces suitable to the occasion (with the exception of a
very few instances); the evening was enlivened by a
band of music parading the streets ; the Club and
many of the inhabitants following, bearing colours
with appropriate mottoes. The enthusiasm which the
feelings and delight of the inhabitants expressed, was
most cordial and heart-cheering to all well-wishers
of her MAJESTY, and was conducted in the most or-
derly and peaceable manner till a late hour. It is to
be regretted that some evil-disposed person or per.
sons, no doubt enemies of the QUEEN, and envious of
the effusions of loyalty which pervaded almost all
classes, b:oke several panes of glass after the mid-
night hour.
RINGWOOD, Nov.ll.—On the arrival of the mail-
coach here this morning, decorated with white favours
and laurel, bringing the intelligence of the acquittal
of her MAJESTY, nothing could exceed the joy of the
inhabitants manifested on the occasion. The bells
-were immediately rung, a white flag hoisted on the
tower, large parties assembled wearing white favours,
&c. and it is expected that a general illumination will
ensue. The house of Mr. BRICKELL, the Red Lion, at
this moment exhibits a scene of the utmost hilarity.
13unv Sr. EDMUNDS, Nov. 15.—The intelligence
of the termination of the prOceedings against the
QuEstr, was received in this town with the warmest
demonstrations of joy, and the bells rang throughout
the day. A green bag, hung with black, was carried
about the streets, accompanied by flags and music ;
fire-arms being at intervals discharged, In the even-
ing two bonfires were lighted, and the discharge of
guns renewed. A general illumination will take place
this evening (Wednesday); and a Meeting was ap-
pointed by the Alderman, in pursuance of a Requisi-
tion, to be held yesterday, for the purpose of agreeing
to an Address to the QUEEN, which was numerously
attended : the Resolutions were carried unanimously,
and an Address ordered to lie at the Guildhall for
signatures till Saturday next.
Nonwicir; Nov. 14.—The intelligence of the Bill
of Pains and Penalties having been given up, was
brought to this city by the mail on Saturday morn-
ing; the passengers being deviated with white fa-
vours and laurel, caused the joyful news to he known
in a few minutes in every part of the city. The
pleasure with which it was received was perceivable
in nearly every countenance. The hells of several
churches were immediately rung, and an application,
signed by a great number of the most respectable
parishioners of St. Peter's Mancroft, was also for-
warded to the Churchwardens, requesting that their
beautiful peal, which had so often rung on the de-
feat of our foreign foes, should now celebrate the
downfall of the attempt made by our domestic ene-

Ades; but, after a totitultutkut with the MO Malta

ral.individuals illarninated desk houses; parties pa-

pular feeling upon this great conititutional triumph.
Covesray.....As soon at the jorrol intelligence was
received of the intimotri Rill of Pains, Penalties, and
Divorce, being thrown out, the hells were all set in
motion al& merry peals, the inhabitants paraded
the town in joyful acclamation, and the day was
triumphantly concluded by ox and sheep-roasting in
every Ward of the City, and *hi hogsheads of brown
stoat and other choice beverages, distributed through-
out this loyal and ancient city. A Requisition was
made to the Mayor for a general illumination.
GREAT BERICHAMSTIM.--The loyal inhabitants of
Great Berkharnsted, Hens, on receiving the delight-
ful news of the rejection of the 6dious Bill agiunst
our virtuous and much-injiriednuismi, immediately
met at the King": Arms Inn, and Unanimously re-
solved to meet thtre the following Monday. At two
o'clotk about a hundred loyal and respectable inha-
bitants of that ancient and loyal town, sat down to
an excellent dinner. The day was spent in the greatest
harmony. The bells of St. Peter's Church rang a
merry peal ; a capital band, composed of the inha-
bitants, played melodiously, every face glowed with
pleisamouidavery heart was filled wish delight. Sir
John Bonk:icons cheered the hearts of the people with
a plentiful supply, and in the evening the town was
illuminated, with such-zeal, as to appear at a dip.
tance one entire blaze. Never was loyalty more con-
spicuous, or better expressed. It should be mentioned
that Lord JERSEY, as he passed through this loyal
town, on Saturday, was drawn a considerable way
by the inhabitants, amidstenthusiastic demonstrations
of joy and gratitude for his exertions in behalf of our
good and beloved QUEEN.
A LRESFORD, Nov. 14.-The inhabitants of Aires-
ford, Hants, held a Meeting at the Swan Inn there,
on Monday evening, to take the subject of an Illu-
mination of the Town into consideration, when the
measure was unanimously agreed to,' and is to be
carried into effect on Thursday night.
There was a brilliant display at Winchester on
Monday night, and those who did not " light up"
had their windows broken. There-were many very
appropriate transparencies displayed on the occasion,
in some of which Lord CASTLEREAGH cut a conspi-
cuous figure.
CANTERBURY, Nov. 12.—The intelligence of the
withdrawing of the Bill of Pains and Penalties against
the Queer, excited a lively sensation on Friday after-
noon, along the whole line of the road between this
City and the Metropolis. At Chatham, Rochester,
and Strood, an illutninatioa took place on the same
evening. On its announcement in this City on
Saturday, the bells of the Cathedral were rung
at noon, and again in the evening; and two or
three individuals illuminated their houses, as ex-
pressive of their feelings on this happy occasion.—
A Requisition was yesterday delivered to the Mayor,
at the head of which is the name of Alderman-Jou:a
CooPzn, requesting that, for the preservation of the
peace of the Cit , the Mayor would recommend, an
&domination car y night; to which the Mayor
replied, that he would consider of the measure, and
give his answer in the course of this day.
The relinquishment of the Bill of Pains and Penal-
ties was celebrated at Hythe, on Saturday, by ring-
ing of bells dining the day, and by bonfires, fire-
works, and a convivial meeting in the evening.
HULL, NOVEMBER 13.—As soon as the fate of the
Bill was known here yesterday, a general change
was visible in almost every countenance. The gloom
of disaffected despondency yielded to the smiles
of honest joy ; and " The Qualm. is acquitted r-
., The Quiet/ is acquitted r' was the salutation
all who suet. For, much to the honour of the Sleds
friends in this town, they never went the length of
not allowing that the QUEEN was an injured and
most unfOrtnnate woman. This morning the merry
bells announced the peaceful tidings to the Public, and
we learn that various dinner and supper parties are
forming with the view to celebrate so important an
event. It gives us no little pleasure to find that the
joy manifested on tklis occasion is not malignant, and
that nothing is to be apprehended from the manner
in which all parties propose to express their sentiments
on an occasion so interesting to the Nation at large.

Mamnow-Housse-i-A young man, froth whom a
pistol had been taken by an Officer on one of the
illuinination nights, begged yesterday that the Loan
MAYOR would order it to be restored to him, as he
had been influenced by the very general feeling that
prevailed-to let, off a little po*der, as a testimony
that he participated in the public j0y....-The LORD
MAYOR' halting ascertained that the conduct of the
applicant:had not been improper on the occasion,
except inasmuch as he had, fired off the pistol in the
air, antl=by, the explosion invited a similar shew
congraudation upon the part of others, said he should
not details they pistol. His Lordship observed, that
it was with great pleasure be perceived that the City,
of Londta had fully answered the expectations ge-
nerally entertained, by preserving the peace during
the rejoicings. lie had calculated upon his fellow-
citizens, and, conscious that the most powerful secu-
rity for maintaining good order would be the deter-
, mutation to accompany the will of the people by his
ewe practice, he had given the 'notice which had
been in almost every instance adopted. Great al-
lowances were to be made for the generous ebulli•
itsons of the public heart, bat this observation ought
not to be construed into a sentiment whim was at
all times in the mouth of those who had an interest
in acting to the prejudice of the public good, that
he meant to justify the conduct of a set of desperate
ruffians, who had, no doubt, from the very worst of
motives, proceeded to acts of violence, not coniistent
either with law or justice. His Lordship regretted
that there were some parts of the Metropolis which
had not enjoyed the most complete tranquillity, not.
withstaldins the extraordinary care that had been
taken to assist the civil power, by means of another
power, to which he hoped the City would for some
time longer be a stranger. He did not mean to
compliment the City Police, but he could not help,
thinking that they were perfectly qualified to keep
under any disposition to acts of fury amongst the
turbulent, without dangerous consequences.to them-

called the Ml:sot:sax Club, has been established at
the Dr. Johnson's Coffee-house, 80lt-court, near the
house which was so long the residence of 4, the Co.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when the undermentioned Captains
were sworn into the command of their respective ships.
viz.—Captain A. NAtitax, General Kyd, and Captain
C. O. MAYNE, Atlas—for Bengal and China.
It is a most lamentable' fact; that while a strong
military force is kept up in a time of profound peace, at
a monstrous charge to the courtry, the police is totally
inadequate to contend with the bands of organised
ruffians that infest the streets, to the peril of our pro•
perty and lives. The yearly cost of a single regiment -
of cavalry would, applied to the increase of the Police
Establishment, he more than sufficient to remedy this
evil. There is, however, unhappily, no more specious
pretext for the intervention of the military, than 'the
inadequacy of the civil power, to strengthen which
would render the calling out of soldiers unnecessary,
and deprive the town of that display of the pomp and
glitter of arms, which is so dear to the hearts of our
Rulers, and which is so admirable and solid a substi•
tate for the old-fashioned bourgeois security the Me-
, tropolis once enjoyed,.
AYLESBORT,l4ar.l9.—Saturday last, the Marquis
of Buckingham passed through thi-i town on his road-
to Stowe. Though not in his own carriage-the peo-
ple discovered him. An immense concourse col-
lected round this carriage whilst he was changing
horses, and addresied to his Lordship the loudest re-
pmachet on the conspicuous part he has thought it
his duty to take against her Majesty during the late
inquiry. The post-boys, when mounted, were drag?
ged from their horses; and, at last, with the greatest
difficulty, his Lordship was rescued from his perilous
situation, and was permitted to proceed to Stowe,
amidst the moltdeafening groant, ' The Earl of
Jersey followed him almost immediately for Mid.
dleton. The hosieS were t,akeii from his carriage,'
and he was drawn with-the loudest applause through
the town.

Inclinations, Scc. on-Saturday night, the house of F.
P. STORY, Esqi it Maiden Early, Bucks, was burirt
to the ground, together with the valuable furniture,
not a vestige of which was saved. It was occasioned,
by the drawing-mom window curtains taking fire,
and such was the fury of the flames, that in half an
hour the house was a heap of ruins. The insurance,
upon it was Very trifling.
DISCOVERY Suses.--The Lords of the Admiralty •
have printed, lithographically, a chart of the track
of the Hecla and Griper, on the North-West expe.
dition. Some copies of the chart have been distri.
buted among their friends and men.of science, which
convey some information respecting the dimensions
of Lancaster Sound. Measured by the eye, withoet
reference to a scale, it appears to be about 150 miles
long, and from 20 to 25 miles broad. On leaving
the Sound the ships proceeded about. 100 miles to
the southward, and then returning to the point from
which they had die proceeded in a direct line
to the West. Noe' ii the attempts to decry
the value of the discoveries that are accomplished or
contemplated, much commercial benefit has already
resulted from the navigaticu of those truckles, seas.
The confidence acquired by the experience of Capt.
PARRY, has this year induced the whalers, who had
been intimidated at the horrors of the higher regions,
io venture, as was suggested, to the month of Lareast,
Sound; and the consequence has been, that they have
returned with fuller cargoes•than were eves kuowr."
