The bells struck up a merry peel, and after ringing half an hour they were lowered by firing,--an expression of joy from the bells which has not been given for many years ; and this was repeated several times during the day. All our printers were immediately set to work ; one to prepare cards of address for the inde pendent candidates, Sir J. Macdonald and Charles Shaw Levevre, Esq. another to print the King's speech for circu lation through the island; and a third, an addreas.—Brighton Gazette. _ _ THE REFORM BILL.—The news of the success of Gen. Gascoyne's motion has excited the most intense feeling at Bolton. The moment it was made known, groups of gen tlemen were to be seen in the Exchange News-room, can vassing the matter, and concocting plans to punish Mr. Wilson Patten for his hypocritical vote. It was resolved to enter into a subscription to oppose his return by every legi timate means, and to issue an address to the freeholders of the county to join them. It was also agreed that each voter, who was capable of defraying his own expenses, would go voluntarily to the poll, and that they would als o subscribe to pay the travelling expenses of their poorer brethren.— Manchester Times. EXETER CITY ELECTION.—The bustle of election has begun. The reformers have been on the alert to find a third man. Mr. Divett is to be put in nomination : a canvas by his supporters, beaded by Captain Truscott, and Captain Buller, of Whimple, is begun , so that for the city we have Mr. itick, Mr. Buller, and Mr. Divett; the two latter are declared and doteresin;cl_ sappertems of the revolutionary rep form bill.— Western Luminary.

It is said that some wealthy and influential freeholders intend to nominate Lord John Russell, and also to propose that the necessary steps be immediately taken to return him free of expense.— Manchester Times. DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.—After the arrival of the intelligence of the dissolation of parliament, and vic tories obtained by the brave Polish nation over the Russians, a number of persons formed themselves into a procession, and, headed by a band of music, proceeded through the principal streets, playing" GOD save the King," and other patriotic tunes, and cheered when opposite the newspaper offices which advocated the cause of reform. About twelve flags were also exhibited, on which were various mottos and devices. On one was " The King, Gon bless him ;" on another, " Success to the roles," dc.—lbid. GENERAL I LLU M INA I'l 0 N. The spectacle of universal joy, which the metropolis exhibited last night, must have convinced even the moat prejudiced anti-reformers that its most respectable and intelligent inhabitants are, to a man, op posed to a continuance of their arrogant domination. The illumination was more general, more tasteful, and more magnificent than any which took place during the whole of the revolutionary war; and as if it were intended to disappoint the predictions of the Tories, was conducted with a degree of good humour which will excite in their breasts the bit terest lamentations. With exceptions so few as scarcely to deserve notice, every house in London was last night shining in a blase of light. After the Mansion-house, the theatres, and some of the banking-houses In the city, the newspaper offices were particularly conspicuous for the richness et their decorations. In private houses there was such a variety of patriotic devices, and brilliant tran spanncles, that our columns would be filled if we attempted to describe them ; and as no words would render the description of them as plan ing to the reader as the now et thews was delightful to the speetetor, we think it more advisable to kayo them entirely undeseribed, thin to select any for particular admiesdao, where all were in Intention eqtialiy praiseworthy. On the north.side of the Thames, Fleet -street, and Holborn, in the city, and the Strand and Bebent.street in Westmin. ster, were the most glitteriag parts of the town; but notwith standing their greater capabilities for display. none of them equalled in splendour the spectacle exhibited in the High-street of the Borough. The river itself was not without its attractions, for the vessels in the Pool had decorated their mute and yards with a pro fusion of lights, which, front their elevated position, shone like distant stars in the darkness of the atmosphere. The crowds which perambu lated the streets were very numerous, and up to a late hour very good natured. They seemed to enjoy the consciousness of their own strength, and were in consequence more inclined to laugh at the opponents of re form than to treat them with either reproach or violence. About three houses in Cheapside were not lighted up. The multitude passed them without further observation than that they were occupied by place bolder a, dependent on the Boroughmongers ; and that it would be therefore cruel to force them to join in the general exultation.-- A similar observation was mode before a house in the Borough, where the owner had placed • few candles in his window, Wilds flung their scanty light on a double row of masks, which were " grinning horribly a ghastly smile" at the people. In Hol born a slight collision took place between the pollee and a few idle boys, who, after 12 o'clock, were foolish enough to endeavour to compel Mr. Corbyn, the druggist, to illuminate his house, which up to that hour had remained safely enveloped in gloom. At a still later hour a similar occurrence took place at Northumberland-house, where the people in authority thought it wiser to incur the risk of disturbing the public tranquillity titan the expense of placing a few torches in front of that aristocratical mansion. With the exception of these slight ebulli tions of popular feeling—without which no illumination ever yet took place in llnglaod—there was nothing in the conduct of the multidude last night which could at all justify the application which some Tory lords made in the course of yesterday to the Home-office for a prohibition of the illumination, on the ground that it would Iliad to riot and disturbance. The illuminatlon, as we before stated, was so general—lt extended in such various dbectioas in and about Lwrionit o ttzd up so completely the widget streets and narrowest =s in that it was impossible far any &meet reformer to be fled with the prospect before him. On the contrary, every heart sensed overflowing with joy and gratitude- The name of the King tinpon every tongue, and more than once in the course of the evening weimwd the national anthem for his safety chanted in rude chorus by hunfireds of his subjects in the streets. The first time was in Southwark, whee the leader of the song was a poor fellow, who showed his exultation by aiming six lighted candles fastened en his hat ; and the last time was in fire Suand, where a white horse, drawing a cart, &aimed with lan relaand evergr and reform banners, and illuminated with portable wFsids large concourse of peopl e , all joining in enthusiastic to in Clod save the Bing.' S ome years ago events like these have been hailed as the most convincing proofs of a nation's loyilty, but now we should not be surprised at bearing that, like the reform bill which gave them birth, they are the most decisive forerun nets of an approaching revolution. We should not be doing justice to the townships in the neighbour bud of the metropolis, did we not mention that they fully participated in he feelings of London yesterday evening. liatcliffe, Wapping, Shalwell, Limehouse, and Poplar, to the east of the metropolis, pert". cobrly distinguished themselves se did also Newington, Lambeth, Htanirstm. and Brixton. At the latter place the pleasure grounds of wend gentlemen were illuminated by several hundreds of lamps, sus. Faded from the branches of the trees. The effect produced by the mix tun of their various hues with the foliage was striking and picturesque, sadratited great admiration among the spectators. At various places aloig the river fireworks were let off in the course of the evening, and in molt of the parish churches the bells rang merry peals, in accordance with the feelings of the people on this memorable and joyous occasion. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. • About half-past ten o'clock last night,: several thousand men pro cesied along the Strand, and smashed the windows of those persons who did net illuminate. On arrivimeng e ti Northumberland House they ins andy demolished the windows. then proceeded to Pall-mall, where day besbe several wide were not illuminated. The Weed bevies Club, in Watedee.place, and several other Qub-houses In the vicinity, wee swims* iissaita understand) St. James's-square thLtnioke, several windows at the leswesset we derstand) the Bishop of the Marquis dandand, lad thaw. The Bishop of iVinchester, end Mr. W. W. Wynn, mini the mob approach, placed candles in /h - eir windows, and their- biedies,, timeless, were not attacked. The bob then proceeded to St. iames'edsirest, where they broke the win dows of Crockford's, Jordan's, the Guards, and other Club Houses. They then went to the Duke of Wellington's residence in Piccadilly, and diugd a shower of stones, which broke several windows. The Duke's servants tired out of the windows over their heads to frighten them, but which had not the desired effect. The policemen then informed the mob that the corpse of the Duchess of Wellington was on the pre. mime, and this Intimation appealing to the dearest feelings of the heart acted as a chum, and arrested all further violence against A peley- House. They then turned up Park-lane, and broke some windows in the Duke of Gloucester's house. They then demolished the whole of the windows In the Marquess of Londonderry's mansion; and having done similar damage to the premises of other gentlemen, proceeded to Privy-gardens, and broke Sir Robert Peel's windows. They after wards dispersed. LOYAL PATRIOTIC FUND. A meeting of the promoters of a Fund for the porpoes of facilitating the return of liberal candidates to Parliament, was held yesterday at two o'clock, at the Crown and Author Tavern in the Strand s Sir F.

Sr F. 181111DiTT, Mr. MOBROVIZ, and other gentlemen, strongly urged the necessity of union and co-operation among the frien ds of re form. True it was, that the greatest seal prevailed among the reformers, a seal proportioned to the justice of their case ; and seven; of than were anxious to subscribe largely for the purpose of promoting it • but, unfortunately, there existed as yet no committee to receive the subscrip. dons, or to superintend the application of the Nods. Notwithstanding these disadvantages, sums, varying in their amount, from sixpence to several thousand pounds, bad already been subscribed, and the object of the present meeting was to make such arrangements as would facili tate a general subscription throughout the country. The following gentlemen were named m the Committee to carry that skint Into effect : Sir Francis Burdett, Bast. Richard Sharpe, F.sq. Sir Ostler Phillips J. C. Hobhouse, Esq. John Snuth, Req.
