• REJOICINGS IN TIE COUNTR r

WAUTIELD.—Amidst the general joy excited by
•be throwing out of the Bill of Pains and Penalties,

the town of Wakefield ha* not been behind the rest of
•the kingdom in evincing its loyalty and patriotism.=
It is said (though we cannot month for the fart,) that
on the first arrival of the intelligence, the worthy
Vicar sent a guinea to each of the Ringers of the Old
Church, who apeedily announced by repeated firing of
the bells the happy news to the town and the surround-
g country. On Thursday evening the fine peals of
t,,e two Churches again charmed the inhabitants with
tneir melody, whilst all ranks assembled joyfully in
the strrets to witness the splendid illumination that
turned night into an artificial day. We were happy
to perceive that the Clergy of the established Church
particularly distinguished themselves. Nothing less
however could be expected, when we consider the
well known charity, and ardent zeal with which they
'constantly defended their oppressed and persecuted
Queen during the course of her long and arduous
trial. In short, if in a few instances, we could per-
t. ire a house or two, the sombre aspect of which
formed a sad contrast to the surrounding splendottr,
we could only conclude that they belonged to some of
those Huffiettle, that have been so ably and effectually
Lew down by the additional force raised in this town, and
who to gain their own ends, and those of their associ-
ates, would be content to see their King, Queen, Church
and State swallowed up in one general destruction.—
We Wive groat pleasure in stating that the good sense
of the loyal part of the community did nut take suf.
heient notice of these infatuated person., even to break
thole windows, and that about eleven o'clock the
u holt population retired to their homes, in peace,
quiotness, and happiness.
Hoot cstait, Nov. 13.—Last Wednesday was ap.
pointed for our illumination on the joyful news of the
tincen's victory over bribery, corruption, conspiracy,
:at:a perjury. On Tuesday night, at seven o'clock the
ti -.re of a Chancellor was carried by a torch-light
thr-ugh the city, with a green bag in his right hand :
on his left arm the words Old Bags, amidst the hoot-
logs of all, but with the greatest good humour ; the
same figart on Wednesday in the pillory, and not the
least breach of the peace ; a number of tablets were
carried by two persons each, with emblematical in-
scriptions, such as—The 31inisters defeated Nov.
10th ; Conspiracy unmasked : disgraced, &c.
The next evening was a general illumination, with
hot two exceptions. The city of Rochester and
'Matta* was one blaze of light ; the shipping was ,
Ittatinated on the riser, and had a beautiful effect ;
trery countenance was happy, and not the least dill-
artier took place, for in the morning there was not
even a complaint to exhibit before the magistrates, al.
tliostgh there were plenty of fire-works of all descrip-
Solis. I had remained at my own residence till nine
o'cloyk, when I visited our worthy Mayor, previous
iltoPietfing to the Bull-inn, where a general
meeting took place to drink the health of Queen Ca-
roline, %shone I found very indignant at the
general of the garrison, who, about seven o'clock,
*iambi the tunallest notice, sent a Captain and his
company, with the compliments of the General, to
the Mayor, and lie had sent him and his men to be
placed under the Mayor's coenniand, and that his w-
afers were to obey the Mayor ; the Mayor, P. Patten,
Esq.. with the warmest indignation, replied to the
General's message ; anti after telling the officer be was
surprised at the conduct of the General, from whom
Le needed no sapport, thus expressed himself :—" You
say, Mir, I am to command you ?" " Yes, Sir."---
" Then I order you to return to the place from whence
you came." The captain turned round to his men,
and gave the word " Shoulder arms—to the right face
—march." Ile then concluded the military interfer-
ence was over, hut shout nine o'clock an officer of the
city police brought the Mayor information that some
of the military were still posted in the lower part of
the city. The Mayor, indignant at this conduct, sent an
'ter to inform them, that if they did not instantly
depart, he would come in person, disarm them, and
tummit every man to the common gaol. They in-
stantly departed. A full investigation is to take place
into this outrage on our privileges.
MA LTOL—Sinee the arrival of the intelligence of
the Queen's acquittal the town of Mahon has, for the
List two or three days, been a coutintsat scene of re-
joicing. On Tuesday last the town was generally
Illuminated, and, considering the shortness of notice,
many appropriate devices were exhibited. The day
following, a aumovons and respectable meeting
of the inhabitants was held at the Town Ilall,
to present an address of congratulation to her Majesty,
- and to petition the King to dismiss the present Minis-
ters fr his Commit. Apd in the evening the gen.
domes of the town gratified the exulting females with
a splendid ball, one hundred cards of invitation having
been learned for the occasion.
Tamura or via Qualm—The inhabitants of Bol-
ton. to trstify their pleasure at the defeat of the con-
spiracy against the Queen, illuminated their houses
op Monday evening last; and, considering that no
poblis notion was iosued,from any quarter, it was pretty
tmetol.-Tite publioaost 'weever, were forbid by order
of the floroughreeve. though the workhouse was illu-
taunted and had a very pretty appearance. About
half-past seven o'clock, a large body of the inhabit-
mita proceeded frees sear the Britannia public-house,
through the town with flambeaux and fourteen flags,
cheering as they passed the houses of those distin-
guished for their love of ,freedom, and groaning and
biasing at those of the Queen's enemies. After their
return, a OPIVII Bag was prepared, which was filled
with cansboatibles, with the exception of a pair of
