" That early reform was an unsicahle arrangement with
friends ; that late reform was a treaty with a trinmpliant
eneiny. Early reforms were made in cool blood, late re-
forms in a state of iisdammation." In that state the
people teleeld in liovernment nothing that was respecta-
ble. They saw abuses and nothing else;—they were
like a felons populace, provoked at a house of ill fame
—they would go ut mire and pull it down. The worthy
Gentleman, after observing upon the rare demea-
nour of the proc,ssion of Weilticalay last, whirl, he said
would go down to posterity connected with the present
Mayoralty, concitided by giving his hearty concurrence
to the Resolution.
Mr. CLAIINE said, he wou!il support the Resolu-
tion ; he was, however, of opinion, that the conduct
of his Majesty's Ministers during the war was wise
and energetic, and that the ronclusi,m of that war
was glorious as well as benefieial to the (wintry.
Since the pears, hoverer, they b.ul slice o a want of
wisdom and of conciliation. lie was not fur condemn-
ing Ministers altogether, and he would therefore move
that the wont " only" should be 1.4 t out of the Reso-
lution.

Mr. S. •Dtcnv—" And only Ord word ?"

Mr. l'L tlitKE—" That is all."

had instituted the inquiry against her Majesty at the

SII,-It must be acknowledged that the violation
of custom, in many ineanees, constitutes a crime.
Some people, for instance, would not dare to rat meat
on certain days; and others would be glad to eat on
any day, could they 1.. s procure it. A new species of
crime has, however, been discovered of late, which not
only contaminates the hotly, but also affects the Aours
health—l mean 6c/1-rinOsg. Yes, Sir, six poor men
have hail the temerity to ring the bells is token of
joy at the triumph of insulted 3lajesty; and for OW
their loyalty hate they, been riled to appear, for their
soul's health, in the Spi, lists! Court. The worthy
Rector add the Churchwardens are the iejared party.
I *appose these six vile mi. nts might obtain
pardon, and continue to fill up the slopiag lerci of
their respective spheres, as a Noble Lord said, would
they but stand prostrate before the spiritual synod ; but
alas ! they have pet petrated crimes of a more heinous
nature. 'I hey hAve assisted in the execution of that
aireh-injarrd Italian Majorelii, and that patters of
eirtme, the unspotted De iiiiiii t. The town's people
too, suffered the St,:tr witnesses to be carried
through the streets, in der:sion, in a cart, with a 'stork
Priest, who made them e-iifess that they never t. 1.1
the truth in their live,; and that they would swear
any body's life away, as well as that of her Majesty,
for the sake of one fart:ling profit ; and all this was
done at night amidst the blaze of twenty torches,
accompanied by a military band, playing the mgnes'
and whores' marches! Shame! shame! It is stat-
ed tat nearly sive that is to say, five of Ai,
Majesty's liege subjects affected to be gemsfly
alarmed.for the safety of the town, and that they re-
quested the Weetion Military to hold themselves Loren •
diness should a revolution break out. This request
was the more necessary, as a mock Sheriff sad twelve
javelin men lea the Froeession. Fortunately not the
slightest disorder happened, except indeed, a win-
dow brokers by an ultra-loyalist at the Prarork
Inn, while the Quer/dies were at dinner. It is horri-
ble to contemplate what mischief might have been
done, hail not the sensible part of Os. town prevented
any dark design by ilitimainehi their houses. I in-
tended to send you some oh-rrvatious on the terms
lower orders, rabble, swinish urnltitscle, &r., hot it is
post time, and I must defer my deliwition till a (mitre
opportunity. No unr ran doubt my qualification for
the important work, as I am one of these same •

REJOICINGS IN TIiR COUNT!! r

fIRONI A coaansews Items%)
SrayLer-Batoua. Nov. 24.—This evening being
announced as the time for a general :Ilutuination in
honour •f Queen Caroline, great preparations had been
made on.the two preceding days, and a great concourse
of people assemb:ed early in the evening. Every thing
was in readiness before dark ; but few were acquainted
with what arrangements their neighbott:s had made,
and therefore spontaneously followed the impulse of
their own minds. A little before seven, the streets
were very dark, the shops being shut until they had
arrangeti their decorations. At seven, the crier took
his boll and went through the streets, requesting "all
the friends of Queen Caroline to manifest their joy at
the recent victory over her inveterate persecutors, by
lighting candles in their respective windows." In a
few minutes, as if by magic, the whole of this large vii-
loge was in ablaze. Darkness beard the sound and led,
I and light resumed her empire. The crier 4 voice was like
the all.creative word; he said, " Let there he light, and
there was light." The scene was strikingly grand—
, the lights numerous, brilliant, and much taste die-
, played in the arrangements—the decorations elegant—
the symbols expressive—and the mottos and inscrip-
tions appropriate. in one window was placed a bust
of her Majesty, richly attired, and a golden Crown
upon her head. In another, a full effigy, with suitable
inscriptions, anti Mr. Hunt at her right hand. Another
exhibited a fine portrait of her Majesty, set in a gilded
frame, with a bust of Henry Brougham, Esq., on her ,
right hand, and that of Mr. Denman, on the left.
Another, a large painting, representing his satanic
Majesty, driving a certain perjured witness into the
in fern4l regions, saying, tauntingly, 6' Where are you
now *:" To which the territied miscreant answers,
" Nws on rirorelo." Another, a transparency repre-
senting Licit r pushing a perjured witness into
(baron's boat, anal dragging another after him, with
his tail twisted round the culprit's neck, and above
it Queen Caroline, with a Crown of victory suspended
over her head ; with a variety of others too numerous
to mention. In short, the brilliancy and grandeur Jfl
the scene were such as none but a spectator can fors
an adequate conception of.
Between eight and nine o'clock. a great crowd
passed through the streets, with lighted torches and
tiambeans, bearing on a lofty gallows, au effigy of
Majocchi suspended by the neck, with a green bag
on one side, and a Courier newspaper on the other ; on
his hack were inscribed, in large letters, " Triumph
of Innocence." " Downfal of Perjury." " Non mi
ricurdi." These were succeeded by a full band of
music, playing" Here's a h. alth to all good lasses," and
the tuitional airs, " Bole Britannia," and " Uod save the
Qneen," &v. 'I his figure was afterwards carried to
a large bonfire in King-street, where he received a
warm saints from blnoderbrssee, pistols, and mos-
, kets, and ultitis.stely both the miscreants, the green
hag and the Cottrier newspaper, were committed tot
the flames amidst the shouts of the assembled mid-
', iiiude.

It is satisfactory to add. that although the amensblage
was greater Shan had been witnessed ou any former occa-
sion, yet, the whole was conducted with the utmost
peace and decorum. Not the slightest indication of M-
udt or disorder to he seen or beard. Es ere countenance
seemed the index of a grateful heart ; and the
whole scene appeared to be the simultaneous expres-
sion of juy, inspired by the Queen's victory over her
merrier. Thus closed a scene, which, fur its grandeur,
and the effect it produced, baffles the !bower of descrip-
tion, and bids defiance to exaggeration. Your's,

ment In the linildhall, for the purpose of mildressing

of the Hill of Psi us anti Penalties.

litres %RD Balmer, Esq., was called to the chair by
Inn.l acclamation. After calling on the meeting for
the exercise of candour both towards himself, and
others, the hotiorabl.• gentleman observed, that, on an
occasion like the present, it was most important that
the great object in pursuit should be sought with per-
fect unanimity ; soil. therefore, that the grand lead-
log points on which they all ag red s!tnnld not he
clogged by any of those arcoinpanying cirennittanees
on which any difference of sentiment may probably
exist. It ran scarcely happen, said he, that any set
of men, accurioined to think fur themselves as you
are, can perfectly agree on every view of any grave
and serious question; hot it is fully certain that each
may, in perfect integrity of heart, give up a little of
kis own way of thinking, and, by a powerful co-ope-
ration in nay great awl important ob;ect which they
all equally wish to obtain, make success remain. It
st ill delight all trite friends of their country if the ob.
jes. of this day's Meeting can be obtained, and if.
settinz asiik all other eonsideratiows. we do. in a eels,
dignified, and impressive manner, manifest our abhor-
rence of the recent impolitic, unjust, and nneonatitu-
donsl meaner's. • ft bits, 1 find, been given out by

us this day show to one political adventariers—and
may they have reason to regret it—bow unanimous
this great hody of the tree friends of the constitution
ran be ; that fergettin% all laser differences, they ran
land will smite hand and heart, and each sacrifice a
• little, that, on the whole, certain good may be oh.
tained. .Let our exaltations at the deliverance of our
ii,ineen from the threstessed evils of that nnrosedts-
