MR. DENNISTOUN'S MEETING AT THE CLOSE

OF THE POLL.
Half an hour before four o'clock, it became evident that
the Town-hall could not contain a tenth of those who were
crowding forward to learn the result of the poll. An ad_
journment to the adjoining Court was accordingly resolved
on, and in.a few minutes the wide.s.pace at the back of the
Tontine was completely packed. Joy beamed on every
counterance ; and, although it was nearly an hour before
intelligence could be obtained from the different districts,
no impatience was manifested; on the contrary, the time
was occupied in. mutual congratulations at the splendid
success of the Reform cause, and in some cutting jokes At
the discomfited party. When the final majority of 7::,8
was at List announced, a deafening shout was simultane-
ously raised, which was renewed and again renewed for
some minutes.

Mr. DENtusToux addressed the multitude from the win-
dows of the Tontine Coffee-room. He said he could not
but feel proud at the high position to which he had been
raised by his fellow-citizens—that of being the representa-
tive of so great and mighty a city. He had not been called
to this honour by any hole-and-corner proceeding, but by
' the unanimous voice of ti‘e assembled citizens ; and the re-
sult of this contest would give satisfaction, not only to Eng-
land, not only to Ireland, but to th, friends of freedom
throughout the world. ' It proved that the people of Glas-
gow were'resolved that justice should be done to Ireland,
and that the cause of freedom should not be stopt in its
progress. The victory of to-day was highly honourable to
Scotland. It would read a lesson to Ministers. It would
show them that if they would but persevere in the intro-
ducing of liberal measures, they might depend on the sup-
port of the people. It had been said in the morning that
the 0"Connell Ministry was down, but Glasgow would raise
them up again. Glasgow bad raised them up again, and
Glasgow would keep them up, in despite of all that Tory
intrigue could effect. Mt. Dennistoun retired amid shouts
of applause.

MT. FEARGUS OTONNER then appeared at a window of
the Tontine Hotel, and in a speech congratulated the
people of Glasgow on the victory theo had achieved. It
tv.ts, he said, an excellent desert for the Peel dinner, and
tough it came rather late, their appetites had only been
the quicker, and they had this enjoyed it the bet e.-.—When
they broke up, the Cioss presented an enlivening spectacle.
A band of music was perched 0:1 the top of a coach, with
a blue flag waving ever them, bear'nfs the inscription "'Den-
n:toun and Reform." The street was filled front .Candle-
r.ggs to Gallowgate with an immense crowd, from which
shouts of triumph burst at short intervals. All was, how-
ever, orderly and highly creditable to the goad disposition
of the Glasgow populace.

MIL MON'rEITH'S MEETING.
At four o'clock the Black Bull Hall was crowded with
Mr. 'Monteith's frieuds, waiting the announcement of the
final close of the poll.

Mr. MONTEITH entered the Hall a few minutes after
four, and was received with three times three cheers. He
stood upon the table, and spoke as follows :—Gentlemen,
within these few minutes I have just fit,ish2d writing an
address, which I intend to publish, to the electors of Glas-
gow ; perhaps, in the first place, it may be as well to oc-
cupy your time by reading that address.—(Great cheering.)
Having read the address, he spoke for a few minutes on the
issue of the contest,. remarking—that, if they thought they
hsd sustained. tl melancholy defeat, it was a reason lOr fight-
ing to triumph on a future occasion.

Dean of Guild BROWN then read the final close of the
poll ; after which cheers were giver, for Conservative prin-
ciples, and for all the friends of the cause,

Tti RSDAY's OPERA.—A most extraordinary mis-
take arose on Thursday among the subseriberS to the Italian
Opera, who, fancying the words "an additional night',' in the
advertisements must mean an addition to the subscription
nights, crowds of fashionable parties arrived to witness the
Don Giovanni, which was announced for representation. On
applying to -the box-keepers, however, they found they were
not entitled to their boxes, but must hire them for the aight
this very few felt inclined to do, and the carriages having
Wen sent away, as usual, until midnight, the crush room was
tilled with parties for seine hours. Sir Charles Clark having
given a certificate that Mad. Grisi had a severe feverish at-
tack, which prevented her front appearing, the anerentolo
was substituted, to exhibit Mme. Albertazzi ;' but the audience
were so displeased at the alteration that they would not allow
the'performanee to proceed for more than an hour.

illuqttious father who has surrounded alibis family with
interest.

highly esteemed, and his old companions in arms, many of
whom had an intention of evincitpr a last testimony of respect
