NAPLES, DECEMBER 2.

The news of the rejection of the Bill of Pains and
Penalties against the brave Queen was received here
with enthusiasm by all classes; and here, where her
persecutors pretended that she had been treated with
contempt and excluded from society, a fete was given
yesterday in honour of the event. It was previously
communicated to Sir William A,Cotirt, the British
Minister, who accepted the invitation, but on the
preceding day be was visited with a diplomatic head-
ache, and excused himself, and of course his diplo►
isnatic brethren felt the epidemy, and did not attend,
much to the annoyance of their gay Secretaries and
Suites. However, the fete was prepared, and: ar-
ranged with much taste and order, and her Highness
the Margravine of Anspach did die honours, as you
will see by the invitation cards.* The dancing was
animated, and continued to a late hour ; the refresh-
ments were of the best quality, and the music excel-
lent. The attention and unceasing politeness of
Margravine were felt and acknowledged by the com-
pany. The ball was given at the grand hotel of the
" Villa di Roma." Its walls touch the sea, and from
the splendid balcony were seen Vesuvius, which fired
away, in luminous activity, the
.whole evening ; the
fleet of English and French men of war anchored in
fate ; and the various interesting scenery of this
classical place.
. The company wai respectable and numerous of
the English ; several of the Bankers and Merchants
were there, but none of the Englisij, who visit Sir
William A'Court.

Of the Neapolitans, French, and Spaniards, not a
Prhice or Noble was absent ; the assemblage of beau-
tiful women was striking, and they dressed splen-
didly. Amongst them were--
Prince and Frincess Paterno, Duke and Duchess of Berwick
and Alba, Marchese Bario and daughters, Duke and Duchess
di Serra di Falco Prince Coll, Marquis and Marchese Riva
d'Ebro, Prince Lid. Princess Dentici, Princess Eboli, Prince
and Princess Pignatelli, Duke Regina, Marquis La Gave Duke
.di Rocca Romano Princess Caspo/i, Marquis Riven°, Duke and
Duchess Naja, Duke and Duchess Capoli, Duke di Casserano,
Prince and Princess Rufano Marquis Minatolo, Marquis Gui-
lano, Duchess Calabrito, Duchess Careia, General Wm. Pepe,
General Florestan Pepe, Duke di Casa Calenda, Duke di Co.
rignano, Prime and Princess Belmonte, General Petrinello,
Duke St. Teodoro, Duchess Florento, Marquis Cavakareta and
daughters, Duke Diano, Duke Castro Nuvao.

Mrs. ANN Rousg, a *idow Lady of fortune, of
Upper Berkeley-street, was lately looking over a box
full of papers, when'the lighted candle fell down and
set fire to them, which communicated to her clothes,
and in a momeat she was enveloped in flames ; her
screams soon alarmed her servant, who ran tb her as-
sistance, but the whole of her clothes were com-
pletely burnt off her back, and her person was dread-
fully scorched, especially the shoulders. Two Medi-
cal Gentlemen attended, but their interference was of
no avail, as she #as quite dead. She was eight•
years of age.—An Inquest was held on the body--
Verdict " Accidental Death."

An awful event happened on Saturday. the 16th
instant, at Stamford. Mr. WILLIAM ASHBY, an emi-
nent saddler Lsome years ago resident at Boston), was
thrown from his horse in the street called Scotgate,l
and killed on the spot. He and hii son wero riding!
out for a morning airing : the'horse which the father;
rode was a spirited animal, and had vexed the rider
by his• mettlesome tricks: galloping into the town,
be stumbled opposite the Green Man public-house,
and threw Mr. Asnny with such force as to fracture
his skull in a dreadful 'manner. The unfOrtunate
man, covered with blood, was lirmadiately taken
into the public-house; but never spoke, and died in
two minutes then
