the behaviour of the dragoons, it was beyond all
praise. With the exception of eight or nine houses,
the residence of magistrates and x few others, the
town was in a universal Wan. Mr. Lowndes's mansion,
in Sntedon-street, ay ise.ired as if on lire, being adorned
in front with torchee; this gentleman, accompanied by
a few others, in the course of the evening. came out j
in the front of the house and drank the queen's
health amidst the cheers of the people. 111ajocehl and
Madame I/moat were suspended in one of the Streets, !
and amongst the many transparencies and allegorical
exhibitions, the following were the moat prominent
that I observed:—
Tea SCALES or JUSTICE.—Truth weighing down a
Green Bag of lies, under this insrripti.'n—" The Lord
shall judge between thee and the wife of thy youth, for
thou bast dealt very treacherously with her."
AN E.ll 'nem or rue Queata.—lnscription—•• No won-
der that I celebrate this glorious triumph, they con-
ceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood, and digged
a pit into which they fell."
Device.—A certain personage riding upon a log of
wood, and sawing it asunder, with his toot upon a
crown and over his head this inscription—" t t thou fool
thy labour will prove thy downfall."
The following created much laughter .
A Monkey iuAtle of a it inflow playing with a Green
Bag tied to his neck.
Device, A Stairs Toterm—inscription—" Though
the wicked join hand in hand, they shall not go °nee-
Milted. for vengeance is mine Audi will repay it, sagas
the Lord."
A beautiful emblem of Justice trampling Majocchi
and Madame Demont, &c., under her feet with her
sword elevated, supported on her right by Carnarvon,
Grey, Erskine, Hamilton, Arvll, and l.einster, and un
her left, by liroaghatn, Denman, Lushington, Williams,
Wood, anti Tyndal.
Tom SCALU or JUSTICI.—The Bishop of Canterbury,
the Green Bag, and Lauderdale, weighed down by a
feather.
DlTlC2.—Major Cartwri:zht, holding out the Bill of
Rights, with the i‘4eripth,ll—•• For a nation to 1w free
is sufficient that she wills it. Queen Caroline saved by
the people. Let the people praise thee I) Lord, let all
the people praise thee."
The streets were crowded to excess; and what
added to the splendo:ir of the !were was a brilliant
display of fireworks, particularly the ascension of an
illuminated balloon, its appear:me.. was truly 'obligee ;
it went off in stele, passed over the town amidst the
shouts of the populace, taking an easterly direttion,
it was seen fur four minutes, till it vanished in the air.
When it descended, the fullowitig lines were found
written :

Away to Heaven swift I flew,
To hear what Jove would any ;
Go down, said he, t►y worthily new,
filuspeuil Lord C-11.
And if you And that will nut do
To tiring about Reform,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE. STATESMAN.
Probably no county in England has %hewn more gene- ,
ral rejoicing on the abandontecut of the infamous pro-
ceedings against the Queen, than the small county of
Hereford. In every town, village, and hamlet, the most
enthusiastic demonstrations of ay were openly displayed.
Illuminations. bonfires, bells ringing. flees on the
steeples—rejoicings of event kind, betokenea the gene-
ral feeling of the people. In nuns) paiishei, sheep were
roasted whole anti distributed to the poor, and the deli-
, dons county beverage--cydre, was every where most
plentifully given atorty-by the kissers h Ili mons. '
On the arrival of the western onnooneing the joyful
titling., lousiness of every kind almost entirely ceased,
bursts of acclamation rent the air, no face bore the as-
pect of gloom, excepting the besotted a.lherents of the
disgraces! administration ; small parties of whom might
be seen eying askance the bleziese windows, and with
rand conntenances mournfully observing the universal
Inv.
To the exultat;on of the moment, was joined a strong
and deep reeling of indignation alpinist the principal
movers in the nefarious business; and its not a few places
in the county, the sacred persons of 01.1 Bags, Derry-
down Triang,le, 3lnshl'epos'', be. were hung in effigy
on the same gallows with Majorehl, Hasten', Satan,
Deniont, and the other worthies of the (been Rag. In
the village of Mordiford, hundreds of persons assembled
on the night of the Rills instant, on Ilse summit of
Rackberry, a hill of considerable elevation, to witness
the erection of •a gibbet, 30 feet high, on which, in due
time, was snspended in chains, a portly lordly figure
with a ofillsione round his neck, which haring been
hung for some hoursovas formally committed to the dames,

sion

The city of Hereford warmly participated in the vs
neral joy on her Majesty's triumph, soli is spite of every
opposition, her citizens hare fearlessly expressed their
zealous attachment to their persecnted tilllPll. No less
than four addresses have marked their decided comic.
Lion of the innocence of the noble Caroline. The
young men, the female inhabitants, ar operative me.
clsanics, the freemen resident its London, have all laid
the tribute of their homage at the feet of their Queen.
One more address was required—ose of Congratuiatiou
on her escape from her enemies.
A requisition (the most respectably aliened that had
ever been witnessed in the city), was presented to the
Mayor, who, to the surprise of the inhabitants, returned,
an answer so jesaistietri and weiatelligible, that it the
public meeting, subsequently called by therequisitionisttis,
and at which the rather of the City and sesiur
trate presided, a vote of censure, by a vast malority, was
pained against him. "'llse Address of the 3 agistrate,
Freemen, and Inhabitant'," has already been signed by
upwards of one thousand persons; and it would not be
difficult to point out gentle:nee, whose names are afh
tubed to it, whose fended and landed property would
amount to more that right hundred thousand pounds.
Amongst the names will be found 4 City Magistrates,
9 Members of the Corporation, 1 County Magistrates,
5 Clergymen, 4 Rankers, and ;testily 410 Freemen of
the City, with a considerable number of the principal
professional gentlemen and tradesmen. The whin.., ma
signatures were very properly left for pebiie inspertims
at the principal booksellers shop in the city, that no
false anti malicious report of a " mob or rabble" having
been the promoters of the measure, might be propagate('
by the anti-royal and disloyal part of the connuttesity.
The two City Members, the Hon. J. S. Cocks, and R. P.
Scodarnore, Esq. have been regoested to present the
address to her Majesty, amid it is expected that a number
of the Hereford freemen resident la Leedom will join
the deputation.
Nothing eats exceed the rage which. this numerously
signed address and rule of censure has excited iu the

minds pt' keertain class of persons in Hereford (not the
working etas), but styling themselves " Church and
King" men, who, with angry countenances and vindic-
tive hearts, bare watched the progress of popular
opinion, and vainly attempted to stem the torrent of
public feeling. No dirty means have been left uatried
to prevent signatures being affixed. One angry gentle-
man, near relative of the Mayor, rides fotrionsly to the
city, usauttanimously goes round to his tradesmen, who
unhappily had attended the meeting, peremptorily or-
ders hts bills, discharges the paltry debt, quarrels with
his own family, and gets laughed at, for this contempti-
ble display of petty u►alice,by a whole county. Ano-
' titer, whose eats arc too refined to bear the continual
rini;i.•.; of bells, hurries in a rage to the church, orders
the ringers to desist, closes the doors, and fur his pains
1 gets the hisses and execrations of the parish.
The language cf Billingsgate, which hitherto Lad
been supposed the exclusive property of the vulgar, has
of late been adopted by turn, calling themselves gentle-
men, who, without hesitation or shame, apply to their
Queen, epithets which heretofore could only be found in
the vocabulary of the lowest and meanest of mankind.
One of these gentlemen (fortunately for the credit of
the city, a new settler ht it,) meeting an old and res-
pectable tradesman who h:►d been signing the address,
accosts him in the public street, with these words, " Su
I see yon are for that damdd —, the Qtrre:: to
which the tradesman, more gentlemanlike, ►.,dieel, "
sir, lam for truth and justice." A deposition on oath
of this fact, has b►en taken before the worthy senior
magistrate of Hereford, and forwarded to her Majesty's
legal advisers, who it is hoped, will take such steps as
may roneince this gentleman of the truth of that old
proverb, "a close tongue makes a wise head." It may
be proper to remark, that this worthy gentleman had
the singular good fortune to be so well and entirely be-
loved be the inhabitants of a neighbouring town, where
be resided many years, that on his quitting that place,
the bells for some Clays were busily employed in sounding
joyful peals on the occasion, and on a subsequent short
return to it, a mournful peal of mailed bells announced
the melancholy intellit,►cnre.
Your readers will doubtless he gratified, by learning'
that the Comfier newspaper, that wretched tool of a cor-
rupt administration, has so disgusted the good sense of
the people of Hereford, by its infamous and slanderous
calumnies of the beloved Queen Consort of these realms,
that with the exception of one coffee-house (where its
malignancy is mitigated by more liberal papers being
taken in) it has been kicked out of every inn and public-
house in the whole c7ty, and has been re-placed eve 7
where. except in the solitary instance before mentioned.

CEREMONIAI. A.VD SOLE.II:?ITY YESTER-
DAY, IN S 7. P.WLS.

The large apace occupied in our colnnins yesterday!
by the details of her Majesty's procession, having cow-
pelled us to omit an acconnt of the solemi.ities in the!
Cathedral, and the actual course of the ceremonial
having been somewhat different from the plan which
had been announced, we take occasion to subjoin the
following particulars, for the purpose of rendering
our statement of the proceedinge of that memorab'e ;
day complete. !
The members of the Committee were dressed in their
midair.' robes, each of them wearing a large rosette
of white riband on his left breast, and hearing a white
wood, 'the upper part of which was gilt, and orna-
;Rented with wreaths of artificial dowers, surmounted
with a white silk rosette. The Bishop's throne and
the Dean's seat were not occupied at all, both these
samossed dignitaries having written to the Lord
llitylirrohibitingtisem (rota being used. The seat
appropriated to her Majesty's use on this occasion was
the one uniformly occupied by members of the Royal
family, and called the Bishop's seat: it is situated in
the middle of the choir, on the south side. The cor-
responding seat on the opposite side of the choir was
set apart for the Lord Mayor. The Countess Oldi,l
Madame Felice, Mr. Austin, and others, occupied from
an early hour one of the right side seats, between the
door and her Majesty's seat.
The Committee of 6U ladieA, who were in attendance
to receive her Majesty, took their seats on the forms
I placed in front of the communion-table. They were all,
• with two exceptions, dressed in white, their bats de-
roosted with white ribanils, and white veils hanging ;
gracefully on their shoulders and bosoms. The effect
produced by seeing so nanny beautiful and elegant fe-
nodes uniformly dressed, and seated together, was
peculiarly striking and pleasing.
' Just us these ladies had taken their seats behind
the pulpit, we observed with regret the only act of in-
decorum that was committed during the while day—
the exhibition that was inconsistent with the so-
lemnity of the occasion. Whi!e every other person
within the choir was evincing Cie solemn demeanour
,which was *becoming to the house of Hod, the Rev.
Dr. Hughes entered one of the side-stalls, and bens j
to address the Committee of the Common-Commit in a
loud and angry tone of remonstrance. The Rev. Soh:-
dean stated, that an agreement had been entered into
with the Committee that the gates should bo opened
to the public at a quarter before 12 o'clock; but be
now found that the roustablee who had been station-
ed at the gates had received orders not to admit the
people till the gneen arrived. This he loudly com-
plained of as a violation of the couditions to which
the Committee had acceded.
Uwe of the Committee observed that, althesgh a
spatter before twelve might have been the time men-
tioned at which the gates would be opened to the pub-
lic, still the Committee acted within the spirit Of the
agreement, since the only object of prevent's/ the
promiscuous entrance of the public before twelve
o'clock was to avoid soars psitsolitre inside as wool 4
render it tosposable 14 her •Mujesty to pose Adler wit
comfort or with safety.
Dr. Hughes, apparently irritated, reiterated
his complaint that the agreement was violated.
The conduct of the 7ealous Canon drew from the
persons assembled in the choir very unequivocal 'pop.
toms of disapprobation : but the goad sense of the
congregation was ptoof against every atitlfire resorted
to fur the purpose of occasioning a tumult.
Her Majesty was attended, by the Hon. Keppel
Craven, Sir Robert • Mr. Hume, M.P.,
Mr. Habitats; M.P.. and several other persons of dia-
-1 tinction.
As her Majesty approached, Mr. Attwalid; the or-
ganist, perfumed a voluntary, and one of Moan's
fugues.

the few who do not rejoice at it.
