nes of this place from being shewn. In the course of'
the week upwards of twenty sheep have been roasted •
in different parts of the town, and bonfires, tiring:
of runs, and tea parties amongst the females, have
been the order of the day. On Monday sheep!
were roasted near the West Bridge, in the North:
Nate-street, Uniou-street, and near St. Nicholas', where)
a Breen Bag decorated with appropriate inscriptions?
was committed to the flames. On Tuesday. Humber-,
stone Bate, Belgrave Bate, and Church Gate followed!
the example ; and on Wednesday, Iltorsepool-street:
joined in the saute tokens of rejoicing. On Thursday:
a similar demonstration of public (siding was exhi-1
bited in York-street and the London-road; and in the
evening an effigy of the notorious 3lajocchi was dig-,
played Isssnr to a gallows, which after being carried'
through the principal streets, was burnt over a barrel
of pitch near the Assembly Booms, amidst the accla-
mations of the assembled multitude. It seems that
small parcels of gunpowder were fixed in differea
parts of the effigy, and as these were discharged luwl
shouts of Poll asl ri,,trdo rent the air. Yesterday'
evening an effigy of jr me sac rappelle pas Demons,
made the same ign ((((( inious exit in another part of I
the town. On Wednesday next a dinner will take plate
at the Bell Nolte, to celebrate the death cf the Bill of
Pains and Penalties, which is expected to be nume-
rously and tespectably attended. Ihe bells of most
of the villages in the county rang a merry peal on
Saturday, and all elcsses were eager to join in the
general joy. At Melton, several of the inhabitant•
illuminated their houses on the happy occasion, and
other demonstrations of joy were liberally displayed.
At Asbby-sie-la-'touch the intelligence was first receiv-
ed through the medium of the Chronic'', and occa-
sioned the Most joyous satisfaction.

.4111—As few places are omittint; to maniiest their
exultation at the escape of our heroic Queen, from
Cie fangs of a persecuting faction, 1 take the oppor-
tuaity of romninnicating through the medium of your
excellent Journal, what is moving in this hot-bril
venality. lin the arrival of the news of the qiil.l.lCS
a Atii!tal on Saturt!ay last, this l'ity (bring sitar:,et-
tlay), was all bustle. In the parish of St. James's
ttt Nag was immediately hoisted on the church, and
the bells rang nearly the whole of the day. In the
Abbey Parish every effort was made by the eleurch-
wardens. (one of whom is an upholder, who
was employed by the late Queen, and the other
an inn-keeper), to retain the keys of the
ckurch. The demand of the parishioners,
became too strong to he resisted, aad the
streamer was buisti if, and the hells rang during the
Jay. Ihe same took place in each of the other pa-
ti parti..s reit!' hands of tunsir have been paratl-
i:4 th-ottzli the streets this last three nights, and
grzat preparations are nun making for a general Ulu-
tnivation this evening. Our proverbially immaculate
a.. 1 sapient hotle-corporate, view the proceedings that
are passing with feelings corresponding. to their heads
azd hearts, they have used every effort to check that
ct nliton which will ever be manifest in honorable
anti honest hearts at the triumph of justice,
user fiats I and oppression. 'I lie miserable and pett
acts of this temputizing body is truly laughable ; all
ti.at malignity couldsuggest bare been put in practice,
to thwart and it titata the public mind, men singing
songs on the Queen have been taken np ; childten
blowing burns iu the streets liars had them seized, and
the white cocl.ades have been torn from their hats by
the police othrers; and to crown the whole, the fol-
lowing preciims document %sus left at every house, by
the Mayor's °dicers l..st night

"The Magistrates of this City, and of the Division of
Batlifortnn, give this Public Notice,
" That the Report of the intended Illuminationfon
Thursday, did not originate with them, nor does it meet
with their approbation; as the prosperity of Bath, the
resort of so many invalids, materially depends ou the
prmtervatiun of its order and tranquillity.
N. B. Families are requested to keep their **ants
at home." _ _

Ou 31onday, at Comb-Down, near Bath, the event
was celebrated by illuminations, bon-fires, and fire-
works, and the inhabitants met and partook of an ex-
et:lent snpper. At Bristol the illumination were ge-
neral, and the exultation unbounded. At CoWham.
a village near Bath, two barrels of beer were given to
the inhabitants by Mr. Sampson, brewer ; every
house was i'litminated, except the clergyman's. At
Catharine Botton, near this city, a dinner takes place
to-day, of the %hole of the inhabitants, and a general
illumination. Indeed the whole of this part of the
country has manifested their abhorrence of the fiend-
like persecution in a manner truly honorable.

Su—The enclosed was too late for the Post yes.l
terday, I am therefore enabled to give your readers
sonic account of the illniniiiatious that took place last
Theo were for die most part general, not one
house in a dozen omitting. 'I he Body Corporate
0,..0gi1t proper to take an offerishe attitude, and
yt......re in all persons over whom they had any Colltlol,
as special cousiablcs. The recruiting parties, cavalry
and rifle corps, were ordered on duty, and two troops
of 1•311C1`Irs were sent for from Bristol, and two com-
pinies of the Somerset Militia. With this formidable
body, they thought to overawe the people; and such
a ,erne of tumult took place, that has nut been wit-
nessed within this city before. Many of the Guild-
hall windows were broken. Hobby, a grocer, and

Matchelor, a draper, two Corporation expeetants,
alto Webb, a chemist, bad some of their windows
broken. The confusion did nut end until two o'clock
in the morning; and with less moderation on the
part of the people, we should hare witnessed here
another Manchester affair. Thus has this respectable
city been thrown into ditor.ler by the very power
appointed fur the preservation of peace. Nu acci-
c!ent of consequence occurred, except uue man, who
had his arm .astuch lacerated. All is now quiet.
The following members of the Corporation illunii
rated their houses:.-111syler, Editor of the Herald ;
Crottwell, Editor of the Chronicle; Phillutt, banker ;
and Anderton, apothecary. CANDIDUS.

P. S. Since writing the above. I kern that a con-
siderable number of oto.t respectable tradesmen were
excessively ill•nsed ; nee severely est by a Cavalry-
man. About fifty in nnu.her were taken up and
are now at the Guildhall; I am not yet informed ,
of the result. I assure yon the city was for the
whok night under martial, law. A Clergyman was
sworn in as a specisi constable, and made himself
particularly officions!!!
The towns of Trowbridge and Ihnlnster illutni-
w.te to night. A man, named Tneker. was taken
tip and mule to pay the sum of I!. 14s. for posting
one Qmwn's answers to the !lath Moire*,
3g•ainst a watch.ltux, which is fitted against St.
31ichae;'s Church.

ii.t.rolvATtons ix SCOTLAND.—in Ftilinhitrgh on
Tuesday and 11'ednesday the windows of a very few in-
dividuals were lighted up. The only transparency we
noticed was at the Bazaar, a liwire of nrsblintled
Justice, t►nth preponderating in the scale nuinst per-
jury and slander, superscribed " Innocence must tri-
umph."
The colours were displayed on hoard the Vegßel% in
Leith harbour, on Monday; and we 'twit-wind that
some of the villages to the eastward were illuminated.
A correspondent from Trento's, who of.svreee, " as
we were behissol in addressing we vt islird to he atnong
the first in illuminating," sends us tb6 following ac-
count of the rejoicings in that village :
" The public opinions of the failure of the late un-
fortunate Bill which bas so long occupied the atten-
tion of the House of Lords, and cost hoisesaJohis
Bull such an immense sans of money, n•as strongly
expressed in the village of Traneiit en Tuesday even-
ing, 14th curt.; with the exception of three honses,
the whole village containing about (,thou inhabitant.,
was spontaneunsly and brilliantly illuminated, and
various devices were to Ise seen, expressive of the feel-
ings on the occasion: a bonfire was kindled ; a large
band of young men, with white favours, preceded by
music, paraded the streets shouting " Lung live
Queen Carolitie !" and every face beamed with juiy.
.1 nuirsher of the inhabitants repaired to the Plough
Inn and drank the health of her Majesty—The Queen's
Counsel—Lord Erskine, ke. with enthusiasm. They
hail the failure of the late proceedings as the triumph
of innocence, justice, public opinion, and truth, and
l•ray Os they have all along prayed for the Qnven)
that all future I irs of pains and penalties may share a
similar late.

`• WY it the least disturbance or acci-
dent. except the breaking of four lanes of glass in the
unlighted houses."
From the ancient capital of Sentland we have re-
ceived the following very interesting report :
to Yu:May last the intelligent., reached Perth,
that Lord Li veri•otil had withdrawn the Hill of Pains
and Penalties against the Queen, by moving that it
be read a tioi time six months hence. In the after-
noon of the slay, till. people manifested a strong in-
clination to tes:if:.• their approbation of the measure
by an illumination. Try honourable the Provost and
Alat:istratcs, iiith their visual and praiseworthy at-
tention to the i-rctini •tances of the comninnity,
treiliately ism: el a ur•wl.iination, certilying to the in-
habitants, that all who chime to illuminate on the
occasion, had their full permission to do so, and that
those o lit, might no: find theni,..lAes at liberty to do
it, would be prote:•Nil. .` .; le. from sic o'clock
io ten, there oas an 11:111,l:latiotl, certainly nut
general, but nearly pi', sad tally sufficient to 'hew
the ruidial whirl' the Feople felt in
the disposal of the bill. In sume quarters of the
town the windons wete der.,ruted with considerable
taste, and displayed the green Lig with appropriate
humour. The crott d in the street was considerable,
consisting of all classes anti ages. There arc usually
on such occasions a Unlillier t,f turbulent spirits who
demonstrate the warmth of their real is the cause
celebrated, by ascuilting the !ter and lonises of
their neighbours, and eniisting in their train the young
mid unwary. Front such the town was completely
free. The utmost 'oil humour prevailed Universally.
The provost and majstrites were in the streets during
the whole of the ill 'nation, and had ordered the
constables to be in readiness to suppress any disturb-
ance which might occur; but happily fur the credit of
our townsmen, their scrvices were neither required nor
called fu...

Several of the neklibilitring villages were also illu-
minated in testimony of the joy with which they re-
ceived the news of :he slay. Wr regret, however, to
that some disturbance took place in Crieif, in con-
sequence of the mob having assailed the house of
those who declined illuminating on the occasion. A
consitleraltie number of wlrse.osss were broken, but no
other outrage was cos eeeee Wed.
Our Correspundent ut Falkirk states—.. When the
news reached this town that the Bill of Pains and Penal-
ties against the Q•teen was laid aside, there was a gene-
ral expression of satisfaction anti joy. A number of
the respectable inhabitants wished to express their &sib
tics in a public manner by illuminating their houses.
This was keenly opposed by a few instil-14state, wide&
only made thesis the snore determined ; and having ob-
tained permission, it was advertised on Tuesday that
the town would be illuminated that evening frous seven
till nine u'rlock. The town's bells e •ed a merry
peal at seven, and in a few minutes the windows, with a
few exceptions, were all up, and the Illumination
was, I believe, snore general than any ever witnessed.
The streets were crowded by the ialialwants and a num•
her of people from the country ; a great proportion of
the crowd consisted of well•dressed females, who scented
much interested on ►hr occasion. The streets were as
light as risid-day, lanes and closes not excepted; and
assail Falirk with her surroundioq villages neser per-
haps exhibited a more delightful' scene. A hand of
am atenrs played several national airs, allying which the
King's anthem was well receive.l. What enhanced the
whole was the harmony which pervaded all classes.
The proper authorities were in early attendance, and
were spared the necessity of exercising any obnoxious
power. No riot, or even disposition to riot appeared—a
eirensitstaace very itneommois among such a concourse
of people. The King and Queen's health was drank is
toeing bumpers in many houses, and the crowd dis-
persed with evident marks of heartfelt satisfaction.
On Tuesday the greatest joy was evinced at Callen-
der, in euusequenc.. of the recounts having arrived
that the bill against the Queen was abandoned by Mi-
nisters. In the evening the inhabitants assembled,
and made a large bonfire in the square ; the whole vil-
lage was lailliantly illuminated, and the church bells
kept ringing. A figure, illuminated by torch light,

emblematical of the Queen ur.•reorning her enemies,
was borne aloft, and paraded along the streets, prece-
ded by the enlivening strains of our national music,
and followed by a great concourse e.f persons of all
ages, shouting" Long live the Quee.i l" "1.1%e Queen
Caroline for ever !•' Aftes pas•ini the evenieer, in de-
monstrations of joy, at a late liimr the people sepa-
rated, and retired quietly to their homes.
'l•he Calton, adjoining Glasgow, the illumination
was repeated, and every thing passed off with the
greatest good humour.
On Tuesday evening Pollockshaws seas splendidly
and generally illuminated. In Paisley, there oas a
partial illumination on the same evening.
Stewartun leas also illuminated, and all was happi-
ness and harmony.
Wednesday night, under the authority of the Pro-
vost and Magistrates of Rutherglen, that aterielet bo-
rough was illuminated with the greatest ler:lliancy.
Every house was lighted up. 'I he bells were rung,
and a huge bonfire blazed at the Cross. The Bur-
gesses of Itutherglen pos.essintr a free constitution
never eater into public undertakings without the coo•
currence of the Magistrates.
Toecesnav, Nov. 16, Foca oTe.oca. We are
just informed, from undoubted authority, that more
than one conference took place this day between
great personages in this Country---the Lord Lieu-
tenant, the Lord Chancellor, the .Ittorner•l+eneral,
and 31r. Plunkett. We have tioroim for counuen•
tary. (D«Glia Eeettiag Putt.)
Mr. Jeffrey was on Sunday elected Rector of the
University of Glasgow, be great majorities in each
of the four nations. Mr. Finlay was the other can-
didate.

NEWCASTLE. Nov. 17.—Last night, in pnrstiance of
an advertisement issned by the Queen's Plate Committer,
in this town, a public meeting WAS holden in the Tork's
Head Long Room (Mr. st.. A. Mitchell, of the 1 cue
Mercury office, in the chair,) to consider of flat propriety
of congratulating the Queen on the termination of the
proceedings against her. The room was exceedingly
lull. After the chairman had opened the business, Mr.
Eneas Mackenzie, in a long speech, took a review of
the whole of the Qnee.,'s lite, from which lie detlin-e.l
his conviction of her innocence. Mr. E. Fermi k at-
tempted to answer some put of Mr. M.'s speech which
regarded the constitution, but the clamour in the roost
prevented his beinz heard. The efforts of the chairman
and the other leaders were exerted in vain to obtain a
hearing from Mr. F. The chairman then moved a'
series of resolutions which bail previously been printed.
They are nine in nenstier. The first condemns bills of
pains and penalties generally; the 2nd that against the
Queen in particular. The :ird condemns the espion-
age and previous measures against her Majesty. The
ith praises her magnanimity, and the fearlessness with
which she met the charges against her. The Zitli eulo-
gises her benevolence of h tart. The 6tli alludes to the'
conduct of the press, and those peers n ho have defended
the Queen. The 7th to her Majesty's condescension to
the industrious cl ; and the th proposes an address
of congratulation founded on the above. The resolu-
tions were seconded by Mr. H. Atkinson, and passed
with great applause. .Ir. Marshal then moved the ad-
dress, which was seconded by Mr. Oilman, draper, in
Mosley Street, and numeronsly agreed to. A resolu-
tion of thanks to Lords Lansilown, Grey, Erskine,
oarvon, ice. was moved by Mr. Teaselarr. of the Qmay,
sod passed unanimously. Mr. Teesdale then proposed
thanks to hlesars.lilirongbans and Denman; but this was
rejected with load disapprobation. Thaoks were then
voted to the chairman and the meeting dispersed.
We understand that a requisition to the Mayor is in
circulation in this town for signatures, relpiesting his
worship to call a public meetin., in the I to con-
sider of the propriety of an address of the inhabitants to
her Maje-sty.
On Totrulay last, a meeting was holden in the Town
Hall at Altstrick and an address to the Right Hon. Earl
they, muted and carried for his late exertions in the
House of Peers.
