The change of Ministry in Belgium, and the dis turbances that have again occurred in that country, are events which again require attention to be di rected to Belgian affairs, to which we should more frequently have referred had it not been for the more immediate importance of our domestic politics. Although the Belgian question has passed from the field of battle to that of diplomacy, it is far from cer tain that it wall not escape from the hold of the great Powers and become again a question of war, for it is now manifest that the diplomatists have altogether departed from the object for which they met in London in November last, and which was then declared to be to regulate the terms of an armistice between Belgium and Holland. The two Protocols of the 4th and 17th of November had an armistice for their object, and were accepted and observed by Belgium ; but subsequently the Pleni potentiaries of the five great Powers have sought not merely to preserve provisionally to the two armies the lines which they actually occupied, but to give to Belgium definitive limits, against which the Belgian Congress and Government have ener getically protested, and still do protest. The most material difference between the great Powers and the Belgians is in reference to the declared intention to exclude Luxembourg from the limits of Belgium, and upon this question the following is the substance of what we have gathered from the Belgian Jour nals of the last three weeks:— The Duchy of Luxembourg has ever since the 15th century formed an integral part of Belgium. Having been governed by its own Duke during the middle ages, it Fussed under the sceptre of the house of Burgundy in 1461, at the death of the Duchess ELIZABETH, of Gorlitz. From that time it has never ceased to form a province of Belgium. It was united as a Belgian province to the French Republic by the law of the 9th Vendemiarie, year IV. (Ist October, 179.5), and was ceded as such by the Em peror of AUSTRIA to France, under the denomination of the Austrian Netherlands, by the third article of the treaty of Campo-Formio. ',ln 1814 the southern provinces of the Netherlands were separated from the French empire, and remained fur a time under a provi sional military occupation,unt il the treaty of London of June, 1814, created the kingdom of the Netherlands without any reservation of Luxembourg, but com prising it under the general denomination of Bel gium. The Prince of ORANGE'S Proclamation of the 16th March, 18:0, declared, " That all th e " countries belonging to Belgium and to Holland form the kingdom of the Netherlands, and that " he assumes for himself and his successors the " title of King, with the addition of that of Duke "of LUXEMBOCRG, on account of the relations " which this province is destined to have with Ger " many." Thus it is clear that these relations did not then exist. The Treaty of June, 1814, and the Proclamation of the 16th March, 1815, consider Luxembourg as an integral part of the kingdom of the Netherlands. As to the relations which Lux embourg was destined to have with Germany, they were these :—The Allied Powers were only dis posed to ratify the elevation of the House of Orange, but in consideration of a sacrifice,and without destroy ing entirely its relations with Germany, from which it sprung. It had preserved or recovered its here ditary posF.essions of Nassau-Dillenbourg, Sieger), Hadamar, and Dietz, which gave it a rank among the dynasties of Germany, and which were regu lated by a particular system of succession. The Allies required the cession of these possessions by way of exchange for the province of Luxembourg, and this substitution, which is a mere political fic tion, was to have two effects, viz.-Ist, The King of the NETHERLANDS remained a German Prince as Chief of the province of Luxembourg, which was considered to represent the States of Nassau.- - 2 cir The law of succession in force in the States of Nassau became applicable to the Province of Luxem bourg. But things did not remain there. In con sidering Luxembourg as replacing the States of Nass au , the Prince FREDERi(', (second son of King WILLIAM) would inherit it as coon as his brother attained the throne of the Ne ).lierlands,—Luxembourg would become a sort f private perquisite of the Prince, and Belgium tlight have been exposed to dismemberment. the treaties, contemplating the inconveniences that Would result from such a :tate of things, gave to I" t he King of the NETHERLANDS the power of taking' the necessary measures to preserve the integrity of kingdom. This was the object of a law of the .25 th May, 1816, which—after reciting that the States ." Nassau (the inheritance of Prince FREDERIC) h a ving been ceded in exchange for Luxembourg, i tn is province would have indemnified him for the of his expectancy, but that as the King had de emed i t con f orma bl e to the general interest of the kingdom to re-unite to it the Grand Duchy of Lux vnibourg, and to place it under the same constitu iiVnal la ws, it was just to provide for the Prince an 'nderanity out of the property of the State, whose re venue and power had been augmented by 144 re-union—assigns to the Prince FREDERIC domain situate in the territory of Breda, of value of 190,000 florins. It is rieces :urY to bear in mind these facts, in order to compre hend the real state of the question about Luxem bourg, for unless we take into consideration this _e oral exchange, we shall always reason on incor breoct es.ta. As to the military relations of Luxem- Lug with Germany, the new Chief does not ap tPieer to object to preserving them, but in the face of u n po Facts we have mentioned, any argument resting for the assumption that L.:xembourg has never gr : u ed a part of Belgium, necessarily falls to the L. I ' d ' It may be added that in all subsequent acts • " cl urg was considered and treated as a Belgian 1, Province, Its Deputies sat in the States General with the other Belgian Peputiei;. Since 1815 1 'he Grand Duchy has had, without excep tion, the same institutions as the rest of Bel gium; and the forests of Luxembourg have always enriched the national treasury. After the late re volution Luxembourg was one of the first provinces to send volunteers to Brussels, and the new Govern ment is recognised throughout the Duchy, with the exception of a handful of Orangists, who are pro tected by the military garrison. Such are the facts that we have collected from the Belgian Journals, of which we believe few English readers are aware, but the authenticity of which is, we believe , incon • trovertible. The present Regency of Belgium can only, w, suppose, be regarded as a provisional measure. For, although the Baron SURLET DE CDOKIER has been elected by a great majority of the Congress, a n d amidst the almost unanimous applause of the nation —and although his integrity and firmness of ch a racter have pointed him out to his countrymen as a man fit for a dangerous crisis—yet it would seem that the definitive election of a new Sovereign is now desired by the Belgians as anxiously as ever, and, assuredly, Belgium is not in a condition to remain long without a permanent head, withoutgreat danger to her security, both in an internal and external point of view. Moreover, in the present convulsed state of Europe, when the balance of power is a considera tion of more than ordinary importance, the establish ment of a stable and independent Throne in Belgium would be likely to hare a strong influence on the future destinies of Europe. The importance of the Belgium question, to Europe in general, will induce us to recur to it at an early opportunity. Baron Louts, the French Minister of Finance, has, we perceive, been endeavouring to sober down the effect of M. CASIMIR PERRIER's declaration on the subject of the interference of Austria with the Roman States. This, we suspect, is a mere ruse de guerre, to enable the French Ministers to con- tract for their new loan on advantageous terms. Our ,private correspondence from Spain men tions that that country continues in a very un settled state. That FERDINAND is uneasy and va cillating; the Apostolicals discontented and more than usually vindictive; and the Constitutionalists full of hope. We beg to call the attention of our readers to a communication we have just received from Cam bridge, and which appears in another part of our paper. The catalogue of these Anti-Reform agita tors is sufficient to shew the prob Able Success of their undertaking—there is hardly an influential name amongst them. Where are their Professors ? —their men of science and distinction ? We un derstand that Mr. W. PEEL has already very sagaciously declined being made use of by this knot of individuals—who, indeed, must have been desperately situated when they made applica tion to him. But if he has as little claims to repre sent the University, as they have to dictate to it, who shall do so ? he has shown more prudence and self-knowledge than his would-be partizans. We have received this morning the Diario Flu minense, from the 16th to the 25th of January. They contain the continuation of the laws relative to the finance, and the expenses of the several de partments of the Administration. Their Imperial MAJESTIES were proceeding on their tour in the pro vinces, and were, on tlie 13th of Jiinuary, in the toss n of Barbacena. The Allgemeine Zeitung contains some details respecting Poland, which, however, possess little either of novelty or interest. Intelligence from Vienna mentions the high state of equip ment of the Austrian armies, the necessary ma teriel for which has been a long time in active preparation. The Austrians have been busily arranging their forces ever since the tidings of the French revolution reached them; their present military exertions are of no such recent date as their official Journals would lead their readers to imagine. In concert with Russia, and, we have no doubt with Prussia, they have been stre nuously endeavouring to restore to its full perfec tion, the old regime of their Holy Alliance, and to bring its influence to bear against France. But times and things are altered since then : FRONTIERS OF POLAND, MARCH 15.—The unfavour able weather prevents Field-Marshal Di-kitsch from con tinuing his operations, and compels him to remain in a state of inaction, which is very detrimental to the Rus sian army. The want of provisions becomes snore amll gible every hour. The Russians are already obliged to draw their subsistence from a distance, and to scud agents in all directions to buy corn, the conveyance of which in a country intersected by forests and marshes, and which has scarcely any high roads, is attended with great diffi culties at this season, and is besides hindered by the Po lish partisans, who seem to understand their business as well as the Cossacks, and take every opportunity to inter cept the communications, and to make themselves mas ters of the supplies intended for the Russian army. Ac cordingly provisions of all kinds are inconceivably dear at the Russian head-quarters; for, according to the account given by a courier, six rubles have been paid for a glass of brandy, and two for an egg. It ►s, therefore, a matter of wonder to see what order and clean liness prevail at this moment in the Russian army, and with what cheerfulness it submits to the greatest privations. But it needs repose ; otherwise both the men and the materiel must in the end be ruined. The Field Marshal formed his plan of operations on a simple basis, and hastened with the rapidity of lightning to his goal; but in his calculation of the probable result, he lost sight of the Polish national character, of the resources of the country, and underrated his enemy. He very judiciously resolved to attack the insurrection in its centre, and to put it down at a blow, but he did not take into the account the heroic resistance of the Poles, by which the conquest of Warsaw, and the suppression of the in surrection were prevented, and the insurrection has been thereby strengthened. The army has the greatest con fidence in itself and its commanders ; the parts of the country most remote from the theatre of war co-operate in the defence, and the belief of a happy issue gains ground even in the most timid minds. The sending of a Polish flag of truce to the Russian head-quarters will excite atten tion, and lead to a supposition that the affairs of the Poles are in a bad condition, and that they are disposed to submit ; but the Poles aff►rm that the sending of a flag of truce was not to propose submission or an armistice, but only to enter into negociations on the basis of the condi tions with which the Diet sent Count Lubecki to Peters burgh, and the first of which was the incorporation of the old Polish provinces with the kingdom. If Comet Die bitsch bad acceded to these (which he was not authorized to do) ncgociation• for peace might have commenced. VIENNA, MARCH 19.—Though our regiments were for the most part complete, a new levy of 50,000 recruits has been ordered in the Austrian States. Our readers will re collect that 48,000 have been already levied in Hungary, and 10,000 in the kingdom of Lombardy and Venice. In many rejments of the line the first battalion of the Landwehr (Militia) is now called in to its full complement, and the second battalions are already being organised. In the cities of Bruno, Prague, Vienna, and Gratz, forty batteries of artillery, each battery consisting of six cannon, are preparing. Among them are two rocket batteries. Nevertheless, it is believed here that peace will be pre thbiys o th iti e e, G .t. overzm .

THE MINDS.-(THIS DAY.) Ci Ty, TWELVE 0' CLOCK. This being Good-Friday- it is kept as a strict holi day in the city, and the Stock Exchange and Royal Ex ch ince are closed. We have mails from Buenos Ayres of the 17th December; also a packet from Halifax, saded March 6, and from Rio Janeiro of the 6th; but we do not hear that they bring any thing of ittportanf:e. A letter from ilarcelonnette (Upper Alps) of the 22d March says, that Prince Carignan has entered Savoy at the head of four brigades of infantry and cavalry; a n d there is at Genoa about 27,000 men, at Turin 25,000, and at Ceni 3,000 ; and these troops are continually on the ale' t owing to a fear of insurrections on the entrance of the French. The Bank of Ireland have notified to the merchants and traders of Dublin, that on and after the 30th, they mean to raise the rate of discount of commercial bills from four per cent. to five per cent. per annum. The express from Pat is this morning brings the French Three per Cents. rather higher, 48f. 70c. ; and though the speech of Baron Louis in the Chambers is rather more pacific than that of Casimir Perrier, still no positive conclusion can as yet be drawn whether the answer from Austria will be pacific or net ; at all events, we know that the French Government are in great alarm owing to the immense armies now drawing on all sides round her, and she is doing all in her power to negotiate a genera'. disarmament. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DA V.) SMITHFIELD MARKET. This day's market exhibited but a limited supply, and the trade was tolerably brisk throughout—with Beef and Mutton at an advance of about `A., Veal 4d. to 6d. per stone; with Lamb and Pork, at Monday's prices.

The election for this borough promises to last much longer than had beets suppossd. Sir William Curtis, who was put in nomination by Sir Henry Smyth, one of the former representatives, comes forward with a long and well filled puree, and the whole weight of the Corpora tion influence. Judging from his address, and looking to the principles of the party with which he is identified, there can be no doubt that he will vote against the Reform Bill, if he he returned. The Hon. Baronet has not vet made his appearance in the town, but his supporters de clare it is his intention to koep the poll open to the last hour allowed by law. The other candidate, Mr. May hew has given a similar pledge, and having declared in favour of Reform, with a slight objection to the clause affecting the out-voters franchise, he has secured the sup port of the great majority of Mr. D. W. Harvey's friends, which leaves very little doubt of his return, though by de termined opposition it may he made a very expensive seat. State of the First Day's Mr. Mayhew 173 Sir %V. Curtis 160 Majority for Mr. Mayhew I'l CHANCERY. TO THE EDI'T ' OR OF THE TIMES. SIR,-Perhaps my Lord Wynford will think the fol lowing facts quite in accordance with a perfect state of things : A bill has been filed in Chancery against me and eight other persons, each of whom must take an " office copy," as it is called. Each of these office copies costs 17/. ; that is to say, that sum is paid to the Clerk in Court. Six out of the eight persons are mere trustees, having no bene ficial interest whatever in the subject of the suit, and they will have to bear the whole loss, as there neither are or can be funds capable of paying them, unless the plaintiff should lose the suit. To avoid the leas of this 171. I wished to borrow one of the office copies from a solicitor who had obtained one, and so prepare my answer from it, but I find the answer cannot be filed until I have taken an office c'•py also. Thus, to say nothing of the tees paid on filing the bill, and of the office copies of the eight answers (which must be had), this suit alone, at this early stage, and for one step only, will put into the pocket of somebody the small sum of 1 361. for " office copies." I should add, that the bill is by no means an extraor dinary length, being 400 folios. It might happen that the bill might be, without being very extraordinary, three times that length; the charge for " office copies" would be in proportion. Yours obediently, March 23. E. S. We understand that immediately after the Easter holidays, MASSINGER'S Maid of Honour is to be revived at Covent Garden Theatre, the part of the heroine having been especially selected by Miss F. KxatraLE for her next new character. _ His Royal Highness Prince CoBGRG, and his Grace the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, have eaell made a dona tion of 1001. in aid of the fund raising for the famishing population of Ireland. A letter from Mr. BURGE to Lord GODE 'mil, upon the subject of slave manumission in Jamaica, has just been laid before Parliament; by which it appears that from the year 1817 to 1826, the total number of manumissims granted was 4,782, of which, 1,951 were paid for, and 2,831 were gratuitous. It is impossible to describe, in adequate terms, the ferment which prevailed at the French Stock Market on Tuesday. All were seller,' and no buyers ; even the former most strenuous supporters of public credit bad turned round, and were getting rid of stock at almost any sacrifice as to price. One extensive speculator, who had held stock since the last revolution, had realized a loss of upwards of 30 per cent. on an enormous amount. The dealers in the foreign exchanges assembled on 'Change yesterday afternoon, and transacted the busi ness usually done on the Friday, as this being Good Friday, and the Royal Exchange shut, they could not otherw•i•e have transacted the usual exchange business. Bills were more in demand, but the rate!' did not undergo any mate rial alteration. GIBRALTAR, MARCII 21.—The communi cation here has been closed for the last two months, in con sequence of a band of Constitutionalists having organized and equipped themselves here, and landed on the coast of Spain. Their attempt, as you will have seen by the papers, has totally failed. MANZ NARES, an intimate friend of mine, was basely betrayed by his part y ; and with the spirit of an ancient Roman, having first shot his betrayer, put an end to his existence. He was a man of wonderful talent. Those who would embark in so foolish an enterprise as that of revolutionizing s p in, and giving it a free Constitution, must be ignorant of the country, an d o f t h e gross an d b eso t te d i gno rance in whic h it is plunged. The true patriot would do more service ideas, than Spain b y di ssem i na ti ng k now l e d ge an d liberal than in att empt i ng t o d eca pit a t e F ERDIN AND, and pro claiming the Constitution of the United States. A revo lution in their minds must first take place.

A confirmation of the juie;rile nobility and gentry sea , held by the Bishop of LONDON, as Vean of the Chapel Royal, yesterday, being Maundy Thursday, at :ht Chapel Royal, St. Jadic's'e Palace. After the church service the prueetnied with the ceremony. Bishop addressed an arprortiate discourse to those about bounty wag tintributed in a erected at the back of Whitehall to te joi c r !o a n r yi fi A r jmiusdiTi,l,a;nsngd royal n l Chapel, to as many parer and aged men and women as the KING is years old, viz.-6of oath. The bounty was all given in the morning, instead of at Iv7t7 different periods in the morning and afternoon ; the church tervice and anthem =llly performed being omitted, in consequetee of Whitehall Chapel being under repair. The Maundy people haiiint been arranged, the men at one table and the women at another, procession from the Almonr:,-office entered the building soon after twelve o'clock, in thc tell wing order : A Yeoman Usher and the YeoDien, in their state dresses, and one bearing a large gae! dish, with white and red purses arranged round it ; the Sub-AiMoner. followed by two bows and two girls from the Westminster flational School, selected fur their good conduct ; the Secretary and Yeoman, and the 6rooiii of the Almonry, with several others, all wearing white scarfs atd carrying nosegays. The Sub-Almoner repeated the foiloating *payer prepared for the occasion : " 0 Almighty and everlasting God, who art exalted is head over all, and dost diipose the hearts of Kings as it seemeth best to thy godly wisdom, c pralte and magnify thy holy name, that thou halt not only bestowed greatttees and majesty upon our Sovereign Lord King William, but halt also given him a heart to take compassion upon the poor and needy. Adept, 0 Lord, the tribute which he thus pays unto thee, and grant tt!at he may be fruitful in all good works, and that his throne may be up., holden by thy mercy. And so turn the heats of those who arc now to be partakers df his bounty, that they may bless and praise thee for the goodness thou host Toiichsafed unto thy people : and may they receive the royal gifts in a etlteful and pious spirit, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." The Sub-Almoner then distributed to Kw; of the Maundy men a pair of shoes, a pair of stockings, and cotton and 'linen cloth, and two purses to each of the men and women ; a reti putee, containing a sovereign ; and a white purse, containing as many silver peonies as the KING is years old. Mr. HANBY, Secretary and Yeoman of the Almonfy, and Mr. JONES, Groom of the Almonry, gave directions that every man end woman should be supplied with a loaf of bread, weighing 411/. Large wooden dishes, containing a number of pieces of fine beef, weighing ,S lb, each, were placed on the table. The Sub-Almoner then inspected the tickets by Which the Maundy people had been admitted, and read the grace before meat, after which the people were supplied each with a piece of meat. The Sub-Almoner, having in spected its quality, pronounced the grace after meat. The ,ttendants next placed before each person a wooden platter, containg two salt salmn, two salt cod, 18 red and a similar number of salt herrings, and four loaves. The Sub-Almoner again inspected the supply. The distributor brouzlat forward several large leather flagons filled with ale, and Fevera! wooden ale cups. The Sub-Almoner and,attendants drank to the health of King WILLIAM IV., which was also drank by the Maundy people in succession. The French Ambassador had a long conference with Viscount PALMERSTON yesterday at the Foreign Office. The CHANCELLOR of the ExcrirQusit left town at an early hour yesterday morning for his seat in Yorkshire. Hi 9 MAJESTY will hold a levee every Wednesday (as originally announced) after the 13th of April. The Right Hon. CHARLES GRANT entertained the Cabinet Ministers at dinner for the first time, at his new residence, in Great George-street, on Wednesday evening. Most of the Cabinet Ministers were. present. ILLUMINATIONS IN SCOTLAND IN HO. NOUR OF REFORM. EDINB G H. (From the New North Briton.) At Mr. Scott's medical baths, in Antigua-street, first window, a transparency of his Majesty, with " The King, God bless him." Middle window, transparency of a ship (the vessel of the Sute) in distress, with the sea breaking over her, with the Borough Rocks to leeward, and a mon strous rock called " the Debt" right a-head, and a figure sitting on one of the Borough Rocks, representing the Duke of W'el►lington washed overboard, for whom a boat has been sent off by the new pilot, Earl Grey. Third Window, transparency of the harbour of "Reform," with " Earl Grey for ever ;" and at the bottom, " The Pilot that weathers the rocks." Th:s was extremely admired, and the crowds in passing repeatedly cheered for the King. God bless him, and for Earl Grey, and afterwards for " The Old Lawyer," and the medical baths. On Saturday evening the debtors presently in the Cal ton Jail illuminated their abode, in order to testify the joy they felt at the glorious news of the Reform Bill having passed a second reading. In the Rouse of Commons this motion was carried nem. con., and was in conse quence brilliantly lighted up; and on the motion being made in the House of Lords, after a good de.il of discus sion it was carried by a large majority. It is almost un necessary to mention that every Member of both Houses was present. It may be observed, for the information of those who have had the good fortune to be unacquainted with the usages of the House, that the common or largest room goes by the name of " The House of Com mons." A smaller space, occupied by debtors of a higher order, is called " The House of Lords." And the indi viduals who occupy separate apartments are styled " The Privy Councillors." The inmates of the Cannongate Jail, determined, we suppose, not to be outshone by their Calton Hill brethren, also illuminated their dusky mansion, in a very tasteful manner, on Monday evening. About eleven o'clock on Monday night an individual passing up the High-street, highly pleased with the bril liancy of the illumination, and loud in his plaudits of the various devices displayed at the windows, commenced with great energy to sing " Rule Britannia," in which he wan joined by the crowd, and repeatedly encored. "MILL-Last night Leith was splendidly illuminated. Scarcely a dwelling-house from Pilrig-street downwards, and around the neighbourhood of the good town, that had a window to the narrowest lane, but bore the symbols of rejoicing. The Town. hall, Constitution-street, was hand somely lighted up with variegated lamps, forming the word " Persevere" on the north front, and W. R. and a splendid cross on the west. The house of the Convener of the Incorporated Trades was illuminated with ban !some transparencies, bearing the words " Our Patriotic King, his liberal Ministry, and the independent 302." Each window of the convening-hall was decorated with a flig, and in one of the windows a transparency representing a son of Neptune, with the words " S .ioke out the ver min I" Throughout the town there were several other handsome designs, particularly at the Leith Bank, and the London, Leith, Edinburgh, and Glasgow Shipping Com pany's Office. The masts and rigging of the vessels in the harbour were tastefully lighted up, and had a very impos ing effect. GLASGO TV. (From the Glasgow Free Press.) Monday last was perhaps the most extraordinary day that ever passed off in Glasgow. Agreeably to the adver tisement and proclamation of the Lord Provost, the citi zens began so early as Saturday their preparation to illu minate j and by the time that Monday morning's sun rose bright and cloudless in the east, innumerable flags were seen floating from the windows and chimney tops of houses, the roofs of public works, and in eve)y. prominent situa tion both in town and neighbourhood. Bonfires, too, were prepared on almost every eminence, and set fire to early in the afternoon, so that they might reach their ut most degree of brilliancy by the time fixed for the com mencement of the illumination ; and during the whole day, from morning to night bands of happy people were every where to be observed, letting fly balloons and firing off pistols, guns, and even in some instances cannon, in testi nanny of their joy at the event about to be celebrated. Within doors nothing but bustle prevailed on all hands, in preparing flags, designs, and mottoes, and getting fixtures ready in the windows for the reception of candles, and long before dark, scarcely a house appeared unprepared to strike up its lights on a moment's notice. By this time the streets bad become quite thronged with the inhabitants of all ranks, going about and inspecting the various de vices, and at the Lord Provost's and Mr. James Lumaden's particularly, great crowds were collected during the greater part of the day. The vessels at the Broomielaw and at Port-Onndas had all their flags hoisted, and presented a very flaunting and • ; a tit.

In addi t;on to these transparencies, numerous fireworks were li t off in the course of the night, and some of them, accom panied by comments from Mr. Lumetlem were received by thousands around his mansion with loud and spiritrd cheer ing. ILI.V.MINAT/OW DINNER. Cfn the evening of the Illumination, the good cause convened upwards of one hundred taentlemen, who ilirwal together in the New Exchange Tavern, which was meat elegantly fitted up for the occasion, and foinki, previous to the dinner, an object of }treat attraction. Mr. Bell .*its Chairman, and Mr. Lumvlen, Croupier. We ciai'd have wished to have given an outline of the proceedings, but it is utterly beyond our power. The toasts were all appropriate ; the speaking admirable, and the hilarity of the guests of the highest kind. The eloquence of S,r D. Stanford, was, as usual, unrivalled, and tormeil yes terday, a theme of praise with all who had the pleasore to hear him. KELvinitauc 11.--The Public Works at Kelvinhaugh, on the Clyde, displayed a great variety of tricoloured flags, and other emblems of rejoicing. Paisner.—On the same day Paisley was splendidly illu minated. So also were Govan and Partick. The burgh of Renfrew, and the town of Hamilton, acted the Fame jovous part on Saturday ; and we understand that the Duke of Hamilton's palace was likewise illuminated, in a style corresponding with the taste and wealth of it, noble Pollokshaws, and the villages of Dalmuir and Duntocher, have testified their joy in a similar way,—in merely c short, the movement is univer sal, and it would be abso lutely wearisome to go over t he name. of the different pla s for thu O r s o r ei c , e o s a thent s h i ve n th h glancing at them.

The devices and style of lighting displayed by Mr. Atney Dixon, have been men tioned to us as particularly splendid and attractive. To the above we shall add the following abridged inti mations from correspondents in other places VILLAGE OF BOTHWELL.—This beautifully situated little village was brilliantly laminated on Monday evening in honour of the great treasure of Reform now before Par liament. LARKIIALL.—In consequence of the propitious result of the second reading of the Reform Bill, yesterday the inha bitants of the village of Larkhall and its neighbourhood had flags displayed on almost every house top, and four bonfires kindled in different parts of the village, and not less than four friendly bands joined together all the music of the place, and joyously paraded the streets, to the amount of more than 1,000 people. STAATHAVEN.—In consequence of the Ministerial plan of Reform having been carried in a second reading in the House of Commons, at four o'clock, p.m., on Saturday ist, the Deacons, with the Members of their reipecive bodies in this town, clothed with their badges and insignia of office, met, and with the Strathaven instrumental band, walked in procession through the town, with music play ing, colours flying, guns firing, and bonfires blazing, and at intervals were regaled wiih mountain dew by several respectable inhabitants, friends to the cause. After walk ing through the town, the procession returned to the As sembly Room, where a public dinner was hel,4, and, in the meantime, the town was brilliantly illuminated. GREENOCK.—This town also, with its accustomed pa triotism and spirit, was splendidly illuminated on Monday evening. The late hour at which we received the account prevents us from going into detail ; but it is sufficient to announce the fact that Greenock has done her part like others, and that, too, in a most enthusiastic and brillian manner. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sm.—To-night Greenock, Paisley, and Glisgow, and other places in the neighbourhood, are ttli in a blaze. The joy is universal.—all here are in eztacy at the cheering prospects of becoming freemen. Scotland is aroused, and woe be to those who now dare drive from the lips of her eons the cup of fieedom. Our beloved Sovereign, and the patriotic three hundred and two, are the constant theme. It is obvious to all that it is now of no use for the boroughmnnger■ to hold out any longer-Llet them sur render with a good grace, or God knows where this will end. The people say the boroughtnottgers refuse to grant our rights, when our King and Ministry dem md it. They may as well attempt to dam the Clyde at Ails& Craig as to attempt to deprive us any longer of our rights. It may he now said that the sons of Scotia have buckle' on their armour : let the King and Ministry but say march, and to the battle field would thousands of them direct their steps—not only with the spirit of a Pole, but with the devotedness of their martyrs. It is all up with the old order of things. I am, Sir, yours, &e. A SCOTCH REFORMER. Greenock, March 29, 1831. On Wednesday the LORD MAYOR gave a splendid entertainment to the merchants and baokrrs who accompanied him to present to his NIAJESTT the address of the great body of merchants and bankers of the ci , y of London, in favour of the Ministerial measure of Reform. Lord SURREY left Arundel Castle a few days since for London. His Lordship is to have the command, it is reported. of a corps of yeomanry. It is also rumoured that a new Town Hdl is about to be erected at Arundel by subscription, for which purpose 1,000/. his already been advanced. The moving a new writ for Queen's County, on the promotion of Sir HENRY PARNELL, does not look as if Ministers were contemplating an early dissolution of Parliament; as, it is, however, Sir HENRY is likely enough to incur the trouble and expence of two elections within a short period. THE NEW SECRETARY AT WAR.-The Right Hon. Author of " Financial Re(ornt," whose in defatigable industry and active habits of business are ex pected to secure the most efficient discharge of tlois very important and laborious office, is the representative of an ancient and distinguished family, seated at Rathleague Court, Queen's county. The father of Sir HENRY ob tained a Baronetcy in the year 1786, and his justly cele brated successor in the title was, at an early period of life, returned to Parliament for his native county. Sir HENRY sustained a protracted and expensive contest for the representation of the Queen's county in 1820, when the Baronet and Lord MARYBOROUCH (thin the Right lion. M r tt c trAm WELLESLET POLE) wire opposed by Sir CHARLES CoorE (the present sitting Member) a nd Ge neral DUNK. The election terminated in favour of Sir 11.
