THE STATESMAN.,

REJUICINUS IN THE C. LS TRE

HA LIP tx.—On Mon lay last (and rot before) a very
general and brilliant illumination took place in honour
of her Majesty's triumph, although every attempt which
disappointed malice could suggest, was made by a err-
tain description of pf:rsons to prevent this dycislve.mark
of disapprobation of the eonetict of his Majesty's Mi-
nisters. The day was 'pent in preparation for the fes-
tive ocraeion. TOwards evening the country people
poured into the town from every quarter : at eight
o'clock the streets were literally crowded, but a more
iiquilt or pracerble concourse of people was never col-
levied. Not the least disturbance, or any attempt to do
mischief to the windows of those who chose darkness
rather than light. The illumination commenced at six
o'clock, anal was very general through the town, and
the devices were numerous and appropriate, indicative
of the abhorrence felt at the infamous arts resorted to
for the purpose of effecting the destruction of the Queen.
At eleven o'clock the town was perfectly still, and the
whole went off without affording any employment for
the Special Constables. or the battalion of the 6th Re-
giment, which was kept under arms all night. Cathe-
rine-house, the seat of Michael Stock., Esq. was lighted
up with great taste and brilliancy. We understand that
a certain Magistrate, distinguished for hie ultra-loyalty,
erdeavoureil to intimidate the publicans f joining in
the lit threatening to take away their li-
renres, if they presumed to place candles in their win-
' down. An attempt was also made by the same Nazis-
trate to conjure up an address to the King, by privately
sending to a few staunch Tories, inviting them to inert
at the Magistrate's office. The whole number that at-
tended the summons was only foot teen ; but not oue of
them could be prevailed upon to support the measure,
as they justly argued that such a proceeding would pro-
duce a counter-address.

littuosen.—Notivitlistanding the exertions of the
municipal officers to prevent the expression of the pub-
lic feeling, a very general illumination took place here
on Wednesday se nnight. A Requisition has been pre-
sented to the Mayor to convene a meeting of the inha-
bitants to consider of the propriety of presenting as
.Address to the Queen: with this requisite the Mayor
has complied. and appointed Monday Next for that pur-
pose, at the Town-hall of the Borough.
DONCAITCR.—On Friday evening there was an
urination in this town, and strong expressions of glad-
ness demonstrated on the abandonment of the Bill of
Pains and Penalties against the QuAets. The lighting
was pretty general, and in many of the windows were
appropriate devices and transparencies. As no public
notice had been given of any intended illumination, mad
as it was considered that many of the inhabitants might
not choose to light up, several Special Constables were
sworn in by the Mayor, to preserve the peace of the
town ; and muds to the credit of all t lasses u r cannot
but in justice add, that we never knew an et easing on any
public occasion, passed with more general decorum add
good order.
Itzwancay.—Monday being appoenteil for the Moroi-
nation of this ;dare, it was ushered in by the ringing of '
seven peals of 720 changes each, leaking a total of
5040, which were performed in a masterly style in 2
hours and 52 minutes. About eleven in the forenoon, a :
very large bonfire was lighted in the market plitee, and
at seven in the evening, the sirnal for lighting the can-
dles wzrjc iven by Ilse bells striking off a grind peal,
comp by K. Thracktah. Numerous transparencies
and inscriptions were exhibited on the occasion; and
the church steeple, and the Methodist and Ebe-
nezer Chapels were illuminated; the latter most bril-
liantly.
Iltsting the evening, the Agra blajocelii was psi
railed through the town, acconspousied by the hand, and
about ten o'clock eninmitted to the flames, amidst the
shouts of a multitude, also detest, nut the man, but the
system which called him into notice. After which, the
" Milan Filth," was destroyed by the purifying element
—lire; and the town resumed its wonted stillness. The
illumination was more general than any that ever pre-
ceded it.—(Leeds Illerewry.)

ACCOI.V7S Br THIS D.l l' 'S POST,

1 At Liverpool, the abandonment of the Bill of Pains
and Penalties, was celebrated on Monday last by a pub-
lic procession. The morning was wet, but towards
noon it cleared up, and continued fair during the re-
-1 mainder of the day. The morning was ushered in by
the ringi :1K of the bells of St. Peter and St. Nicholas,
1 which continued at intervals throughout the day. About
twelve o'clock the different clubs, Imiefit societies, he.
who intended to take a part in the proceedings of the
; day, began to assemble in Williamson-square, Elliot-
t street, Lyme-street, &c. and soon after twelve, the whole
1 of the immense bodies thus assembled, were pat in am-
, lion, and marched in line through lame-street, Shaw's-
brow, Dale-street, to Castle-street, where they halted
abont half an hour, till the whole was arranged. It
would be difficult to guess at the probable numbers of j
those who, either in societies or as individuals, took part 1
in the procession. We cannot estimate the former at
much fewer than 715H1, nor the latter at less than four
times that number. We do not doubt there wu a total
moving 11111,1 of thirty live thousand persons. After
proceeding through their route to the length of more
. than four miles, which occupied upwards of three .
I hours, the procession arrived at Clayton-square, and I
" Clod sate the Queen" was sung in fell chorus. Ad-
dresses were delivered by Colonel Williams, Mr. Eger-
ton Smith, and Mr. Rushton, the whole of this isassirese
multitude peaceably dispersed, and in less than as him
the town wu as quiet ;As if nothing of the kind had oc-
curred.
Some individuals having intended to illuminate on
the occasion, the Mayor ea Saturday issued a placard,
resoreting that " no illumination whatever should take
I place," as it might lead to an infraction of the peace of
the town; this notice had the desired effect, no house
was lighted up; but a display of fire works in Moss-
lake-fields closed the festivities of the day.
A number of gentlemen dined together at the Nep.
tune Hotel, at which Cul. Williams presided.
A public dinner in celebration of the same event, took
place on Thursday at the York Hotel. The list of stew-
ards contains the names of the first merchants an4l
hankers iu the place. Thomas Booth, Esq. took the
chair.

A more imposing pageant, or one better arranged was
never witnessed. The banners, flags, and devices, were
numerous, brilliant, and appropriate, and most of the
individuals in the procession were decorated with white
favours. We are happy to add, that we have nut beard
of the least accident -having taken place.
M INCHESTIIII.—In no town in bisgland, we believe,
did the nett sof Iser Majesty's trinmpli excite snore lively
or intense joy than amongst the inhabitants of Man-
chester, and its popuhrns vicinity. During the week
fisllowing every effort on the part of our " authorities,"
was successfully exerted to repress the delay of public
feeling, which, however, at length burst forth on Mon-
' day evening last, in defiance of the multiplied obstacles
,of Ministerial missions.

The illumination was as general as it could he expect-
ed, considering the means taken to prevent it, and the
extraordinary power nhirh the local authorities possess,
nail the still more extraordinary manner in which it is
minally exerted. The seightsOnrhoods which are inha-
bited hy the cock' and industrious el , were bril-
liantly illuminated ; those where the idlers and the
wealthy reside were mostly in the thickest darkness.

In evidence of the feeling entertained by the
bitants of tiodalming, of the series of persecutions
which the Queen has sustained, a meeting was con-
vened by the Warden, in pursuance of a requisition
respectably signed, to consider of the propriety of
voting. an Address to her Majesty, on the defeat of
I thisiast and mast odious conspiracy, and of petitioning
• the House of Commons on the subject. The meeting
; was numerously attended ; and, after several prelimi-
nary speeches, an Address was proposed, and carried
without a dissentient vAer. Votes of thanks to those
independent Peers who MI ably supported the Queen's
cause in the House of Lords—to her Majesty's Connect
—and that part of the public press which had espoused
and so ably defended the same cause, were also car-
tied unanimously. The petition tothe House of Com-
mons was deferred for the present, under the expec-
tation of a ptoroention of Parliament.
At Willey, in the neighbourhood of tiatiahtsing, a
village where there was as illumination, the e4gy
which had been exhibited at liodalming the evening
before, was burning in front of the Clergyman's
house ; in retaliation, it is supposed, for very untie-
coming langnaife which had been used by that Here-
rend lientleman concerning her Majesty. A large firs
was afterwards made under the gallows, and the edgy
consumed, amidst cries of" Lung live Queen Carolino,' I
"Queen l'andine fur ever." During the cereinony of
the lIC 'cation, the great bell of the ('hurt), tolled
the knell" of Siga.►r Majoechi's approaching dissolu- ;
tion, and afterwards a joyous peal was rang, to the no !
entail annoyance of the beforemenfiosed personage,
who had previously issued his commands that u silence
still as death," should reign within the precincts of i
the hallowed building.
