Letters from Lyons state—" The explosion of public
joy has been here the same as at Paris. It is now
eight _o'clock at night ; the news has only arrived a
single hour, and all the public buildings and private
houses are brilliantly illuminated. The Place des Ce•
Intim particularly has not a single window which does
imit bear marks of the general felicity. An immense
crowd fills the streets; and each person congratsilates
the other at meeting. The commercial houses , and

.7.he.inhabitants of Mans have been no less sensible
to the withdrawal of the law d'anteur, and the'disar
pointment of the. Keeper of the Seals.. Nothing WO
heard throughout the 'city, on the arrival of the courier;
but shouts and benedictions on the King. The' inhal.
bitants of the country particularly expressed their joy
at the triumph of a freedom which guarabtees Ater/
interest.
The delight hasleen no less at Dametal, where the
Commissary of the (lens d'Armes seemed to mark the
hottses which were illuminated; bat, says oar Corre-
spondent, they would have done better to mark those
which were not.
The joy has also been general at Rennes. What a
pity the Count Corbiere could not have been a witness
of it ! He could form an idea of the spirit reigning iss
this city, where France h regrets that he did not
stop. We are awaiting M. de Peyrannet's news froth
the country.
At Troyes, says the Journal de 'Aube, the news of
the withdrawal of the law arrived at six o'clock in the
morning, and the delight which it caused immediately
became general. In the evening the city was generally
illuminated. •
At Nogent the pleasure. was no less lively. The
musical amateurs formed a serenade before the printing
..nd bookselling establishMent in the city: '' -
A great number of the Opposition in the Chamber of
Deputes, among whom were M. Lafitte, lately elected,
and M. Benjamin Constant, were invited to the last
levee. Viscount Chateaubriand, who had not made his
appearance at the Palace since his dismissal from the
Ministry, formed al-o one of this party.

.versedeall the inhabitants who could be at the expense
were in mourning, and at night the city was in total
darkness; not a lamp was lighted up or a shop open, and
the unfortunate devotee, in the midst tat torrents of rain
and Lisbon showers, had togrope his way along the walls
from onethierch to another, with only an occasional
glimnitring from some distant window, or half 'open
door: Even in the Churches, with the exception'of the
jightton the chief altar, only a few•tapers are to be seen.
This darkness commenced on Thursday, 'at mid-day,
and ,was preceded by great scileriluity. Mass iirdOst
celebrated, the Sacrament is then taken by 'the clergi,
and some of the people, and the priest afterwards re.
moyes the host from the altar, and deposits it in the ti-
bernacle, where it remains till the ceremonies commence,
which represent the rerserection of oar Savioutt.-..
He conceals it carefully under his robe, walks round the
Church under a canopy of states accompanied by some
of the principal inhabitants—all the windows of the
Church are darkened—the bells tease tinging—the
candlesticks and images are taken down, and every ob-
ject around bears marks of some great calamity having
taken place. Sentinels ate placed at the'doors, and at
each 'Side of the altars; the altars are lighted up with
150 or 900 candles, and adorned with 9 met% of almost
every description. The Churches are strewed with
odorifereats plants, the Church plate it exhibited, and
every measure adopted to give an air of dignity and
erandeur to the ceremonies. On Thursday and Friday,
till midnight, torrents of people are pouring into the
different Churches, to hear sermons, or witness the va-
rious ceremonies. The men and women commonly oc-
cupy different places. 'The men ,stand (for no chairs or
seats of any description are to be had), and the women
kneel, or squat down in the ?ttxtrish style, in the body
of the Church. The fenraleg 'of the lower' class hada
the usual capote; with the muslin handkerchief, en their
head, even more white, if possible, than usual. Ladies
are dressed in black silk, without any head-dress, ex-
cept a' large black teil,othich' is 'thrown over the heat!,
and reaches to the waist. The dress is uncommonly
graceful, and gives great effect to the modest des
meanour of a young beautiful woman. The mother
commonly comes accompanied by two or three of
her daughters. They 'kneel down beside her, with a
prayer-book in one hand and a fan or reticule in the
other, and are always careful, as they kneel down, to
cover their feet with their robes, and seldom raise their
eyes till they have said their prayers- " The d—l is in
these dark deep black eyes." said a friend that stood
near me, as we were admiring the features of a young
woman, who knelt by her mother; "every volley goes
to my heart—but then the dirty streets through which
she had to walk!" In almost every Church during the
holy week, sermons were delivered. The action of the
preachers is rather graceful, though, at times, far too
violent. The subjects are generally taken from those
parts of Scripture which relate to the sufferings' of
our Savtoort, and the effect produced by the math*,
when he describes the indignities to which• he was
subjected—the pains which he endured, and the forgiv-
ing spirit which he displayed, can hardly be imagined.
I have seen nothing like it, except in the highlands
of Scotland. . Women, and even men, weep bitted,' ;
and at the close of any striking description, aid parti-
cularly when the preacher uncovers-, at the proper nen-
meat, the crucifix, which is commonly placed beside
him, loud groans and lamentations are heard. I base
understood that a great number of the Clergy of Lisbon
bear a very respectable character; and are much *-
loved. The monki and friars, oh the contrary, site
not •ItS all in favour, and the fishermen and watermin
often as they pass along the water, mate no scruple
of death* them with contempt. ln some of the
Churches there is a representation of Mount Calvary,
with the thieves on each side, and the cross on which
Client was crucified in the middle. At the close of
the ceremonies each evening, boys, with small woodk
hammers and boards make a clattering noise, like
that produced by the London butchers; with the mar-
rowbones and cleavers. This noise, which is ex•
tremely disagreeable, takes place only during the
Indy week. The singing, as far as I have had an op-
portunity of judging, has not much to recommend
it. On Saturday, at mid-day, the Churches resume
their wonted appearance. On a signal being giveh,
the hallelujah commences; the window-curtains are
all withdrawn at once, and the Church is illuminated
in the twinkling of an eye, amidst the ringing of bells
and other demonstrations of joy. The people, par-
ticularly those that come from the country, deck
their mules and bullocks with flowers, and seen to
evince great satisfaction in listening agaia to the link-
ling of their bells, and the discordant screeching noise
made by the axletrees of their clumsy carts. On
Saturday, at midnight, the ceremony of interring Ba-
chalao (stock fish),
.is performed in different parts
of the streets, to the great joy of the inhabitants. This
day (Sunday) all is rejoicing. All the vessels in the
river have their flags flying. The guns bave beep fired,
bands of music are parading the streets,and the Churches
Are crowded with persons of every description, arixicqts
tit witness the ceremonies of the day, and to testifftheir
joy at the resurrection of our SAVIOUR.,

PARIS, Aran Its. •
• The following singular action has Iseen tried before
the Tribunal of Dragnignan (department of the
Var) :—M. Rey, a Priests inhabiting the commune
of Seillans, took it into his, bead that be was conk
tinually beset by robbers and aisassins. To guard
against surprise, he every night fortified his domi-
lcile in the following manner s—He placed a large
log of wood against the door el his bed-cham-
ber; he suspended a large pitcher of water behind
the door of his saloon, and fixed behind the door
of his antechamber a large horse pistol, loaded with
an ounce of powder and six balls. This formidable
weapon was so arranged that the moment any one
knocked at the door, the charge went off, and lodged
itself in the body of the intruder. On the• night of- the
14th Nov. M. Rey, while arranging his battery, unfor-
tunately touched the trigger, when the pistol burst,'
with a terrible explosion, and the balls tratiersing the
door, entered the opposite partition, at the other side of
which lay in the arms of sleep and maiden security, the
two Demoiselles Fenix. The terror and surprise of
these two young Ladies were so great, that ode of them,
Sophia, was seized with a fit of trembling that conti-
nued for eight days; and the other, Margaret, experi-
enced an affusion of blood on the brain, that gave rise to
nervous attacks, hysterics, vertigoes, &c. Madame
Fenix, their mother, brought an action for damages
(2,000 francs) against M. Rey. The Coon decided
in favour of Madame Fenix, but reituaredie &Usages'
to four bunched francs.
