another party stationed themselves, opposite the front door, and
a third, tinder the direction of Mr. Cowmen entered the home.
They found the lower part filled with persons, most of whom
were known thieves, and from these they singled out four who
had been described to them as having taken an active part in the

being secured, the officers proceeded up stairs, where they found

REJOIOLVOS' IN VIE COUNTRY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
Foote, Nor. 25, 1820.
St R--In my last (see Star of 18th inst.) I informed
you of the lively expressions of satisfaction which
/nuked the day when the demise of the Bill of Pains
and Penalties was announced at this place. Flags
were instantly displayed on the Town Hall and other
pu'alic buildings, and by the shipping in the harbour;
the firing of guns, and the enlivening sounds of a
band of music -proclaimed the joy of the inhabitants.l
Public opinion, however, demanded some more deli-
berate expression of the general sentiment on an
event so important as the frustrating of an unconsti-
tutional attempt to infringe the most inva'uable
rights of the subject in the person of the Queen, and,
in obedience to that opinion, the town was brilliantly
illuminated on Monday evening last, when the ma-
nifestations of satisfaction avere very general. The
only exceptions to the prevailing sentiment were ex-
hibited in the dark fronts of the houses of about ten
respectable individuals, whose views of the subject
did not allow them to join in the cheerful demon-
strations 9f joy displayed by their more enlightened
neighbours ; and the residences of a few members of
the Society of Friends, whose religious principles
forbade them to make an outward shew on the gra-
tifying occasion.
A transparency, in the front of which was a por-
trait of the Queen, inscribed—" Innocence Trium-
pliant;"—and the surrounding sides covered with
appropriate inscriptions, was carried in procession,
preceded by a band of music, and a transparency,
elevated on a lofty pole, " Vox Populi," through the
streets during the evening, and everywhere hailed
with enthusiastic applause. In the rear of the Pro-
cession, elevated also on a lofty pole, was carried a
Green Bag, inscribed—" Milan filth."
Many handsome transparencies were exhibited,
equally creditable to the taste and the sentiments of
the individuals who displayed them. Amongst the
principal may be noticed, a whole length portrait of
tke Queen, guarded by the British Lion, at the
dwelling of Mr. Yarbury, clothier, in the Market-
street, in the execution of which the artist displayed
no mean specimen of talent. A suit of transparen-
cies, at the wine-vaults in High-street, attracted ge-
neral notice—the centre, an emblematical device,
allusive to the public characters of some distinguished
individuals who took part in these extraordinary
proceedings. Above, a compartment, inscribed—
" Virtue triumphant, and Public Opinion omnipotent."
Below—" Take away the wicked from before the King,
that his Throne may be established in righteousness.'
The houses of Peter Jolliffe, Esq. and James
Seager, Esq. two of our worthy and respectable Ma-
gistrates, in West-street, were richly decorated with
coloured lamps. In front of the house of William
Jolliffe, Esq. was displayed a union flag, between
two columns entwined with laurel ; and in his win-
dows were two transparencies, the one having a
Crown and the letters G. R. the other a Crown and
the letters C. R. bearing one common motto—" Pro
• Patria Populogue."
Mr. James Manlaws made an elegant display of
coloured lamps, in festoons, round his house, and the
letters C. R. surmounted with a large Crown in front,
forming altogether a brilliant spectacle,
' Many other ingenious devices and expressive sen-
timents were displayed in various parts of the town,
which during the whole evening wore the most ex-
hilarating appearance. The conduct of the populace
was orderly, and, indeed, exemplary ; for although
abtu. twenty panes of glass in the whole were broken
in the course of the evening, yet, as not the slightest
tumultuous disposition was evinced by the crowd, it
is probable that these trifling acts of violence were
the effect,: of private pique.
' On the following day, the Public Dinner, an-
nounced in my last, was served up in handsome
style, by Mr. Vie, at the Old Antelope Inn, and was
very respectably attended. The first toast after dinner,
" The King," was drank in silence.
" The Queen • and may she long retain what she now so fully
possesses—the hearts of the People :" was received with raptu-
rous plaudits, and drank amidst enthusiastic cheering.
" The 'Majesty of the People," was received from the Chair
with nnboundeal applause, and drank with three times three.
" The Army and Navy," which followed, was received with
the same marks of respect.
."'Mr. Alderman Wood, who stood foremost in the cause of
the Queen; and thanks for his manly independence:" was
given amidst shouts of approbation, and drank with the most
chewing enthusiasm.
46 Her Majesty's Attorney-General, Mr. Brougham," and
"'Her Solicitor-General, Mr. Denman," were given separately,
and followed by " Dr. Lushington, and the -other of her Ma-
jesty's Counsel,' with appropriate thanks for their very able
exertions in her Majesty's defence, were drank with the strongest
and-most cheering marks of approbation.
" Lord Erskine, and the Trial by Jury"—" Earl Grey"--
" Lord Grosvenor"--4, Lord Holland"—and " The other
Peers who so nobly distinguished themselves in the cause of
Justice," were respectitely given amidst bursts of applause.
In the course of the evening, several Gentlemr

delivered their sentiments, in appropriate speeches,
on the iniportant event which they had assembled to
celebrate ; and/the pleasures of the Meeting were
heightened by a band of musk and the occasional
introduction of songs glees by some of the
Gentlemen present. most perfect harmony pre-
vailed, the day was passed in rational conviviality,
mid the company remained together to a late hour,
truly enjoying—" The feast of reason and the flow
of soul:

ushered in with bells ringing at an early hour, a band
of music marched through the streets with flags flying,

AO illumination took place, the band parading the
streets, playing God save Queen Caroline, with Rule

ascended in a most graceful style, amidst the accla-

tag, with Majocchi, were committed to the flames.

Saturday se'nnight, a jolly tar, just paid off at Ply.
!tunath, from the MINDEN, and having his pockets
well lined, after enjoying a fear days frolic, resolved
to steer his course homewards; and, in order to enliven
his voyage, engaged a mate to sail in company. Before
his departure, however, Jack very prudently secured
-all his cash, with the exception of a pound site, in
certain corner of the shirt which he wore, lest, i:er•
chance, he should he taken at an unguarded mornent,
and pillaged of his five years hard-earned pay. This
precaution, as will shortly be seen, was not altogether
unnecessary. On Sunday afternoon he set -slut eith
his partner, and in the evening clime to anchor at Ivy-
bridge, where they remained all night. Next morning,
'when he awoke, he found that his friend had parted
company, taking with her his watch and pocket-boa,
• containing—(not his whole pay, as she no doubt ex.
petted)—but the solitary • pound note before named..
Jack, having discovered the pirate's course, insanely
hoisted sail, and gave chat: ; after a hard run of two
hours, he came up with her just as she entered Castle-
street harbour, in Plymouth port ; a pretty smart
action ensued, and several broadsides were accord-
ingly exchanged; at length the enemy struck her
colours, and Jack recovered his watch, but the pocket.
book, with its contents, had been thrown overboard
during the chace, and was nowhere to be found. Satis-
fied with having recovered so much, he consigeed htn-
ta-the hands of justice, and again set sail, with a merry
heart, but without a mate, for his destined port. Ii is
false companion has since been put under quaraniiie
in Bridcsvell, where she is clbsely employed in pick-
oakum.
