rejoiced that, in this instance, the voice of the people
had been attended to—(applanse). He c .lled the atten-

public nooney. Din taxes were two and thirty mil-
lions more than they were 30 years ago. without the
impo.t on c. rn, which amounted to ten millions more.

thing they were capable of to prevent or crush every
such effusion.
After various kinds of fire-works had teen dis-

veral of the watchmen are very severely hurt. The
cavalry were immediately called out, but not till the
lerond bad demolished several sentry-boxes and va-
rious other articles of tinther, inch as that at the Old
Bridge, which is at present under repair, together
, with sonic other pieces of wooden railing adjacent.
The cavalry soon cleared the streets, hut not, I am
informed, till several people were cut by their as-
' ores. There were illuminations in sonic parts of the
environs that are without the authority of the 3lagis-
trates of this city.
It is necessary W make rise remark only on all this,
that Is, that the Pdlagistrates had allowed the effu-
sions of public feeling to hare evinced itself without
entleavnering to crush it with the iron rod of power,
I have the strongest reason to presume, that no such
disturbance would have taken place. The sound po
hey of such a proceeding by those in power, in any
circumstances, but particularly in those of the pre-
sent, to say nothing else of it, is certainly very
questionable.

TUE TF:STIiiiiVIE.I6I?IIIE COUNTRY
Against the Abandoned Bill of Pains and Penalties.

C INTKRIWRY, NOV. 12.—The intelligence of the
with.lrawiui of the Bill of Pains and Penalties against
the 4.211:TII exited a lively sensation on Friday after-
moon, along the whole line of the roast between this
city and the metropolis. At Chatham, Rochester.
and Strood, an Plitutination took place on the Mine 1
evening. On its annonsicentrut in this city ou Satur-
il iv, the hells of the cathedral were rung at no in,
and again in the evening' ; and two or three irolivi-
du dm illuminated their houses, as expressive of their
feelings on this itappy occasion. A reirrisition was
yesterday delivered to the Mayor, at the head of which
is the it one of Alacrity in Juhu Cooper, requesting that,
far the preservation of the peace of the city, the Mayor ,
w.suld reel tttttt ets.l an illumination on Thursday night ;
to which the Abyssr replied, that he would consider
of the measure and give his answer in the course ofl
this flay. The a sws 1 eiren by the 3layor alter a'
seroud application, made on the following day, was,,
" That in his judgment. the peace of the City will be,
bet promoted by abstaining. altogether from any such
proceeding." ('pun receiving this answer, the gen-
tlemen who made the request to the Mayor, issued,
another notice to the pnblic calling upon them to juin
in this expression of national feeling; at the saute time
observing that they never intended to promote any
object likely to interrupt the peace of the City. Amidst
the bustle attendant on this expresiiins of national
feeling we were gratified to observe that the greatest
order pr..vailell in every direction up to ten o'clock,
with the eseeptioo of the breaking of a few panes of
glass at the I es of 50111.2 of the Non-Contents.
About this hour, a cart, conrainiug the effigies,
of slajoerhi, Vemont, S;c. arrives' near the Cattle
market. when the Mayor gale directions to the p °ace'
officers :u seize them ; this occasioned great confusion
durin; which the figures were toru to pieces, and
scattered iu every direction, and then a volley of stones 1
acre aimed at the windows of the layor's house. The I
Mayor was so exasperated at this conduct of the
populace, that he sent hastily to the barracks fur •
detachment of the Iris Dragoons, who soon arrived.;
,'the riot art was thee, by the Slayor's direction.
recd by Mr. Pierce, the Clerk to the Jostices, thar-1
ing which, we regret to state, that gentleman ie.
I e..ivesl some severe blows front stones thrown at
hint. Toe military cooducted themselves with the 1
greatest order and propriety ; the people received .
them with three hearty cheers stps.:l their arrival'
in front of the Matsr's house, where they were con-
tinned until near two o'clock this morning, when
on their being widish-aims, the crowd, which had 1
leanti fiord to diminish from the time of their arri- '
val quietly dispersed. The calling in the tailitary met
1 with the execration of hundreds of the respectable ,
in-
habitants who erdwited to the spirt.
K crrratxs;.—At Kettering the news was re:rives!
with all possible ,u'rks of joy and pleasure; a pro-
cession with music and white !lags in the morniog—
in the evenistg a general illumination, in which white
roses, laurels, and candles were displayed with e:fect.
On the Sunday, in Die largest congregation of the
place, the demur slisis:r. effect of the late proceedings
was ashlar:slily met by the preacher, in a Sermon from
the text--." If thou %rest the oppression of the poor.
aril violent perverting of judgment and justice in a 1
province, marvel nut at the matter; for he that is
higher than the highest regardetls, and there be 1
higher than they. '

On the arrival of the pewit venteeting her Majmity
the (bell., of tiateshead chute!, were set ringing, hy
order of the ehorrhirt.rilens. The inhabitants of the
loyal vilLige of Bowden gave a similar testi 1111 l ay of
their joy, on the liras arriving at that placr.--.< l'yur
Mrrru, y,)

Last week as the Marquis of 11nrkirtgliam was
passing throng-10 the town of Aylesbury, on his way
to his seat at Stow:, being market-114y, the people
stopped his Cal riASC, and would not ststkr him to pro-
ceed until they Ita:1 evineed their displeasure at his
recent pr.weedings against the Queen, by throwing
sheep's heads, mud. :tic., into his carriage, after
which he wis allowed to proceed, Ist the groaning*
and hissings of the multitude. A similar treatment
;was also experienced hy the Earl of Bridgwater on
his passing through Watford, when his carriage was
stopped, and the entrails of animals, ke. thrown
(at him. Another Nobleman soots afterwards passed
(through the same town, whose horses were taken from
his carriage, which the people drew in the midst a
general cheering.
Lease, Nov. 13.—The news of the triumph of the
Queen has given universal satisfaction. We hear of
'groat rejoicings in different parts of the country.

On Monday a party of grail: men dined at the Hear,
