GREAT REFORM DEMONSTRATION IN

EDINBURGH.

On Saturday a great reform demonstration took
place in Edinburgh. The weather was very favourable, al-
though cold and frosty. In the procession there were esti-
mated to be 18,000 persona, which was not a much smaller
number than turned out in the recent demonstration at

Glasgow, and certainly very large in proportion to the ex-
tent of the working-class population of the district.
The greater number of the trades were accompanied
either by a brass band or by bagpipers, who played appro-
priate tunes. The route of the procession to the Queen's
park was by Levan-street, Home-street, Earl Grey-street,
Downie-plan,Lothian-road, Hope-street, Charlotte-square,
George-street, South Hanover-street, Princes-street, North
r=rsHoirspeo-strteaettrsCcanro°wnCr onatethsetetebbofeyill register
nimenge
office and at the National Gallery, while the North Bridge
and the Canongate presented dense masses of people.
The lookers-on were occasionally very enthusiastic, loudly
cheering the procession as it passed, the ladies waving
their handkerchiefs. Many who took part in the prone-
sion, as well as among the spectators, wore rosettes with
the Scotch thistle in the centre, and medals showing a
good likeness of Mr. Bright. Following the carters were
two quarrymen, engaged with their pickaxes in squaring
a large block of stone of about a ton weight, drawn by two
horses. The brushmakers carried several huge brooms, with
the mottoes "Sweep out the Cave of Adullara," "A speedy
export to the enemies of reform." The bookbinders
carried several very appropriate mottoes, such as
" We are firmly bound to the true friends of reform," and
"Let us finish and forward the work of reform." The
cabinet-makers, who displayed some very pretty specimens
of their work, carried banners with the mottoes—' The
people shall be the cabinet-makers ; " " The star of our
hope is Mr. Bright." Much amusement was caused by a
straw figure of a man carried by the Dalkeith iron-workers.
The body of the figure was of stow, touched here and
there with pitch. He wore a round hat and top-boots,
with brown gloves, and a star on his breast. The coun-
tenance, formed of wax, was ruddy, with a black mous-
tache ; and in his hand was a scroll, on which was writ-
ten in large characters—" Our county member." On ,
arriving in the park, the figure was raised into a promi-
nent position in front of one of the platforms. There
were some bits at Lord Elcho and Mr. Lowe, such as,
" The rinderpests of reform—Lowe and Elcho." The first
portion of the procession reached the Queen's-park about
half-part twelve—the distanoe from Bruntafield Links
being about three miles—but at that time the last of
the procession had not started. The liberty to as-
semble in the Queen's-park was granted by the
Commissioners of Woods and Forests, on the application
of Mr. ACLaren, one of the members for the city. Four
platforms were erected on the Melville-park, the scene of
the great Volunteer review of ltak, and from which the
crowd were addressed by Bailie Miller, Councillor Lewis,
Councillor Stott, and other gentlemen, The number of
persons in the park was estimated at between 40,000 and
00,000. The speeches were short, and the proceedings
came to a close about three o'clock. The following were
the resolutions proposed and adopted at the various plat-
forms : _ .

That this meeting protests against the present system
of representation, whereby the people are amenable to laws
in the making of which they have no voice, as being op-
posed to justice and to the spirit of the constitution of
this country, and declares that no reform bill can be
accepted as a permanent settlement of the question unless
it includes registered residential manhood suffrage, pro-
tected by the ballot."
" That this meeting awards its heartfelt thanks to Earl
Russell, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, John Bright,
John Stuart Mill, Professor Fawcett, M.P., Mr. W. O.
Forster, M.P. and all other true friends of reform, for
their patriotism in defence of the rights of the people in
the late session of parliament."
" That a petition, founded on the above resolutions, be
drawn up and signed by the chairman of this meeting,
and by the executive committee, and transmitted to Mr.
Duncan M'Laren, M.P., for presentation ; and that Mr.
James Moncreiff, M.P., be requested to support the prayer
of the same in the next session of parliament."
The procession left the park in an orderly manner, and
the different trades marched to their respective places of
rendezvous.
A great meeting of the working classes was held in the
Corn Exchange in the evening. There were about 2,000
persons present. Tickets of admission to the number of
2,500 had been distributed among the different trades,
and these had been allocated among the members by
ballot. A large platform, capable of accommodating about
120 gentlemen, was erected at the west end of the hall.
In order that the greatest possible number of perfume
might be accommodated, the hall was not seated. The
chair was occupied by Councillor Fyfe.
Apologies were intimated from Mr. W. E. Baxter, M.P.,
Mr. Graham M.P., Mr. Dalglish, M.P., Mr. Potter, M.P.,
Mr. Young, Graham,
Mr. Moncreiff, 51. P., and Mr. Murray
Dunlop, M.P. Mr. Moncreiff, in his letter, stated that
while he was averse to refuse any request of his fellow-
citizens, especially one so courteously made, he thought it
desirable in the present instance to follow the example of
other members of the late government in abstaining from
taking part in any general agitation on the question of
reform. (Hisses and cheers.) Considering the tone of the
debates in the House of Commons during last session no
one could be surprised that the working men should give
constitutional and temperate, but clear, expression to their
views and wishes on the subject. His owu opinions were
in no danger of misconception, as during the 15 years he
had eat in parliament he had not only supported every
general measure prepared for the extension of the suffrage,
but he had introduced into the House of Commons the
bills prepared by successive liberal administrations
from 1852 dorrnwards for the extension of the euf-
rage in Scotland. But he disagreed with the pro.
posal of the Reform League, and which he understood
to be embodied in the resolutions. Mr. Murray Dunlop
excused his attendance on the ground of health. His pre-
sence, however, was not required to give assurance of his
hearty zeal in the reform movement ; and though he
classed himself among moderate reformers, and had never
become reconciled to the ballot, and preferred a gradual
to a sudden and violent extension of the suffrage, he
should have been thankful if the tories and exclusive whigs
had seen fit to accept the very restricted measure of reform
proposed by the late government. He had been convinced,
however, by the conduct of those parties on that °scallion,
that they would yield nothing of the share of the political
power held by their class that was not actually wrenched
from them by the force of a public opinion which they could
not resist. (Applause.) He should certainly support no
policy so revolutionary and alarming as that which was at
such risk persisted in prior to the Reform Act, namely,
damming up the current of the popular will till it was
about to burst into violence.
Mr. M'L.cREN, M.P., moved the first resolution (contrite
ing of the first clause of the first resolution adopted at the
day meeting), and expressed his great gratification with
the procession and the Queen's Park meeting, which was
in has opinion attended by even more than were present at
the great meeting of 1832, when the number was estimated at
50,000. He said that, while he was not prepared to go the
length et manhood suffrage, for which the country was
not yet sufficiently prepared by education, he would
gladly support any measure of reform which enfranchised
a large portion of the working classes by whatever party
it might be introduced, but he would not consent to view
reform as a mere question of party interest, to be used for
patting ere party in and another party out. (Cheers.) They
were told from the newspapers that professed to know the
intentions of the present government, that they had it in
view to introduce a bill that would give household suf-
frage in the large towns and an 8/. franchise in the small
ones. Household franchise in the large boroughs would
be a very louse measure of reform, but an 8/. franchise in
the small towns would be a perfect mockery. (Hear.) It
was in the small boroughs that the franchise more particu-
larly required to be introduced, because in a large town
like Edinburgh, with an increasing population; where rents
were high, a sprinkling of the working clams was on the
roll already, but in the small towns the working man was
not to be found on the roll at all. Mr. 51•Laren went on to
advert to the fact that while the working classes bad helped
to give the suffrage to the maldle classes, the favour
WAS so basely requited now. It had been like en Irish
reciprocity, all on one side. The aristocratic whigs of
Edinburgh who crowded reform platforms in 1832 had de-
serted the cause and become practical tories—tories in all
but this, that they desired that the tories should come out
of office in order that they should come in. To the aris-
tocratic whigs of Edinburgh he would apply the words in
which Byron had expressed the comparison between the
ancient and the modern Greeks—
So coldly sweet, so deadly (air,
We start, far soul is wanting there.
Mr. MILLER seconded the resolution, which was carried
unanimously ; and the other resolutions of the forenoon
were duly proposed, seconded, and agreed to.

TURK'S ISLAND. - THE HURRICANE. —About
1,200.000 bushels of salt have been destroyed on Grand
and Salt Quays. What has been the damage to the salt
at East Harbour we have not vet heard; but we have
learned that there are but 15 holism standing in the entire
place. The salt ponds are all destroyed everywhere, and
there will be none raked for the next two years. There
are perhaps 200,000 bushels saved at Grand and Salt Quays,
but at East Harbour there is none left. There are but little
provisions here, but all are sharing equally and generously
with one another. The President's house at Grand Quay,
along with the gaol, armoury, market and school booms,
bays all been swept away. Over 3,000 pencils have been
left brimless, penniless, and almost naked.—New York

NOVEMBER -SAYINGS AND DOINGS.
TO Tlit MOTOR OF TILT 'STRUM
Sea,—Heavy sale lists, chops and changes in the
training arrangements of owners of horses, and thousands
of pounds betted about common plating, are the usual in-
dications of a racing season being on the wane, so that this
November at present has only been like many before it.
However, the announcement of the supposed " Derby
horse" of the mighty Scott, Grand Cross, being in the
market, with others belonging to Lord Exeter, is a re-
gular staggerer—far more so than the fact that Mr.
Chepstow Graham is going to have his fifth trainer
within a year, which is not so very surprising,
after the many mistakes made with Chattanooga's
little brother. It is said new tactics are to be
adopted with Mr. Graham's horses, and that they are,
besides being schooled all by themselves on private ground,
never more to be placed in the hands of bookmakers. It
cannot but be regretted Caithness was not in better hands
during the Liverpool week, for the Autumn Cup was pro-
bably lost to Clerkenwell solely through his being kept
in the stable, the manner in which he polished off
Moulsey—only bea'en a length from Beeswing—by three
lengths at Shrewsbury, being anything but soothing to his
many backers. Probably Chepstow was the best at home,
and if so he must be the most arrant rogue that ever saw
5 to 1 for each of three great razes within the space of a
month. But Chepstow's owner is not the only new
comer on the turf who finds it so difficult to
settle down to anything decisive, the Duke of
Hamilton having made two or three changes
already, whilst be never consummated the purchase
of the Alvediston training ground, or even paid the 3,000/.
deposit thereon for the recovery of which the lawyers may
very soon be set to work. If they do, the Duke can
well afford to part with the forfeit, as to go in with such a
thorough racing man as the Duke of Newcastle, and a
trainer like Mat Dawson, is a privilege no " fiat " could
pay too dearly for. His grace actually won three races at
Shrewsbury, but they were only mall fry, the two richest
stakes, the Shrewsbury Cup and Column Handicap, being
carried off by bookmakers, whose success, however, no one
knowing the hard time they have had of it can grudge
though the majority interested in the result had a dreadful
" facer " over Behnont. Vigorous somehow got in people's
mouths at the last moment, and yet she had never
run more than a mile before, her only winning
races being over six furlongs and half a mile. She is one
of the few Vedettes that can stay, for which she has, I
suppose, to thank the Nancy blood flowing in her veins;
and probably we have not done with her yet, there being
plenty of races coming off this week that she can assist in.
Four clays' business is the arrangement for the Leamington
and Warwickshire Hunt Meeting, commencing on Tues-
day; and if it should be gut through without any difficul-
ties—the frost threatened on Saturday would have been an
awful blow—the season will finish most satisfactorily, the
sport found since the Newmarket Houghton week sup-
plying a very large potato for those who maintain that the ho-
nour of closing the nixing year ought to devolve upon" head-
quarters." Plenty of nice little plums can be picked up
at Warwick, and one of them, the best Nursery, must
bring the majority of the eighteen left in to the post ; de-
spite the formidable front presented by Greenback,
7st 111 b, Lady Pam at ;st 131 b cannot look so well, nor
does the declining of Brown Tommy for all his Shrews-
bury engagements say much for Mr. Heathcote's chance
at all ; and if Greenback is to be bowled over, the Dalby
party Nay accomplish the feat with Challenge or Sala-
manca, notwithstanding Lord Westmorland has four
against them. His lordship has three also iu the Selling
Nursery and Mr. Ten Broeck the same number, the
latter gentleman appearing the most formidable, as it will
be hard to find one better than Leases at the
weights. The Dunnington Handicap, six furlongs, also
shows the Americau in rather a favourable light, Bat-
thyany and Paris having nice weights ; however, Violent
beat the old horse easily enough, at about their present
relative imposts, over three-quarters at Brighton, making
Mr. Iloilgaian (who has two others in) appear more pro-
mising ; and both parties may possibly find more than
their match in Landlord, who is none the worse for his
travels abroad, judging from the way he ran under a
heavy weight iu the Houghton week. He was known to
the British public before he left this country as Penhill,
under which title be won four races out of eight at
two-years-old, his last victory being over Caithness.
Three very speedy animals are in a half-mile
handicap—viz., Usher, Queen of Trumps, and Volun-
teer, the first-named having the best of the weights;
and the aged pair are also in the (;uy Cup, five furlongs
(on Wednesday), at imposts that will not stop them, the
Queen putting up only 9st Ilh ; but this, like the NV.
Plate, previous running might almost dispose of. The
Great Autumn Welter Cup, one mile, is not improved by
the recent doings of Vigorous and Valiant, for at 94 and
Psi lib respectively, they must frighten sonic from the
starting post, and whichever Mr. Hodgman stands on
ought to win, although l'earl Diver, lOst lilb, will take
Mr. Brayley's part well, having to carry Mb less than he
won last year s Autumn Welter with, whilst he gave
Vigorous 291 b when he ran second to her—but over
two miles—last 'Tuesday. The Second Nursery, and
the Third decided on Thursday, await the accept-
ances being declared, albeit Mochrie may be worth
looking after, if she should stand in preference
to Kiug ,A the Fairies ; and the Great Midland
Counties Handicap tin be better entertained after
Pearl Diver, Vigorous, and others have run pre-
viously, the owners of this brace having two much lighter
strings to their bows. But if Monitreas were only in as
good trim as when she was here in September (which
must be doubted, after her wretched exhibition in Scot-
land and at Hereford), there will be no occasion to look
far for the winner. The Brailgate Cup and the Winding-
up Handicap supply two more incomplete races ; and the
only jumping event I shall touch upon is the Grand An-
nual Steeplechase, whilst even this would not tempt me
but for the Hornet looking so well, supposing next Friday
to be his day.-1 am, &c., METEOR.

MADAME STODAILE'S MAGIC, EGYPTIAN-HALL.—
The sudden death of Colonel Stodere, jest as he was be-
ginning to reap the fruits of his exceptional talent as a
conjuior of the Robert Houdin school, has compelled his
widow to carry on his popular entertainment at the Egyp-
tian-hall, in the room adjoining Mr. Artemus Ward's ex-
hibition. Assisted by a very good performer of legerde-
main in the person of Mr. Burman, Itbelae.e Stodare has
every prospect of success. All the tricks depending for
their success upon dexterity of }iamb more than upon
scientific contrivances, are very efficiently exhibited by
Mr Burman, while Madame Stodare—a young and in-
teresting lady—confines herself to the exhibition of those
more celebrated illusions, like the " Sphinx " and the
" Marvel of Mecca," which were the invention and made,
the fame of her late husband. There is always an audi-
ence in London, composed of persons of all ages, fur good
conjuring, and Madame Stodare's entertainment is really
first-class conjuring. While her pre‘ition give% her some
little claim on the sympathy of the public, she gives her
patrons the fullest value for their money.
PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCI ETY. —The opening meeting
of the session of the society was held on the 1:/th instant at
King's College, at which a great nu eel r of members were
assembled to hear a paper read by /41. Clautlet, " On a oew
means of introducing harmonious and artistic effect in photo-
graphic portraits, by equalising the defin t ion of all the planes
of the figure." The subject of the paper was illustrated by
a variety of specimens showing the soft and harmonious
effect produced by the process and the character of the in-
vention, which consists in moving the plate or the lens
during the sitting, so that every pl3ne of the figure can
by that means be successively brought to the exact focus
of the lens. After the reading of the paper, containing an
elaborate account of the history of the invention and its
object, with many interesting facts connected with several
curious principles of the optics of photography, a long dis-
cussion ensued, in which two members expressed their dig
sent to the adoption of such an ihuovation in the art of
photography. At the conclusion of the meeting, the pre-
sident proposed a vote of thanks to M. Clainlet fur his able
and interesting paper, and it was carrie-I by acclamation.
THE BISHOP Or RIPON UN RiTUALISM.—The
Bishop of Ripon made some remarks on ritualism at a
meeting at Huddersfield the other night. Dr. Ilickenteth
was sure, he said, there was no true, hearty, loyal member
of the church of England who did not honestly deplore the
persistent efforts which were being made by many at this
time to revive doctrines which had no place in the re-
funded protestant church of Englan.i. Disguh.e it as they
might, the whole drift of the movement which was going
on was an attempt to introduce into the church doctrines
which she repudiated at the time of the Reforma-
tion. The mere question as to the wearing or not
wearing of any particular vestment was in itself a
matter of comparative insignificance ; the real significance
of the whole movement, and its real importance, were de-
rived from its relationship to fundamental doctrine. He
was willing to believe some young and ardent spirits had
been drawn into that movement trent being unsuspicious
of its real nature. It vas too plain, however, to be denied
that the drift of the movement itself and the object of the
ringleaders was to retrace the steps which, 1/7 God's
grace, our forefathers were enabled to take in the sixteenth
century ; and whereas at the time of the Reformation the
church of England happily changed the mass into the
H Communion, the object of the present movement
was to change the Holy Communion into the idolatrous
sacrifice of the mass.
