STOCKPORT REFORM FESTIVAL.

The arrangements for this highly interesting event pro-
gress rapidly towards completion—as will be manifest from
a simple statement of facts.

The Victoria Pavilion has arrived from London, and is
now in course of erection on the ground, a solid flooring
having been laid on the site to be thus occupied.
The Committee have decreed a public entry to Messrs.
Cobden and O'Connell.

Our worthy resident Member, Henry Marsland, Esq.,
accompanied, by William Barlow Worthington, Esq.,
Mayor, the Town-Clerk, the Members of the Municipal
Council, and all the Officers of the Corporation will as-
semble in the Market-place of this Borough on Monday,
for the purpose ot proceeding thence to meet our future
Representative, Richard Cobden,- Esq., and Daniel
O'Connell, Esq., the Member for Dublin, and of escort-
ing themto the Victoria Pavilion, where the Dinner will
take place, and the live-long night be devoted to the feast
of reason and the flow of soul—the Mayor in the Chair.
The demand for tickets having far exceeded the ori-
ginal issue at 2s. 6d., the Committee authorised the sale
of some hundreds of additional tickets, at five shillings, and
those remaining after Friday night, will not be parted with
under half a sovereign.

As it is, the Pavilion will be of insufficient dimensions,
and the Committee are erecting galleries for the further
accommodation of the friends of freedom and justice, in
which arrangements, as will be seen from a perusal of
the advertisements in another column, the gratification of
the ladies has not been overlooked.
On Tuesday evening there will be a Grand Bali.
On Wednesday evening possibly (that is, if all the legs
be not incapacitated by previous exertion) another.
On Thursday evening a great meeting (convened by the
Worshipful the Mayor on a numerously signed requisition)
to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for 'IKE
BALLOT.

And on Friday evening another great meeting for the
purpose of promoting the establishment of a NATIONAL
SYSTEM OF EDUCATION.

It will thus be seen that the coming week will be one of
momentous importance—one calculated to raise Stockport
above the low level of Tory domination—one designed to
elevate the population of this Reformed Borough to their
proper station•as men and as rational beings—one to be
enjoyed at any sacrifice—to be remenbered with pride so
long as memory shall recall the shadowings of by-gone
pleasure and the realities of duty discharge d.
If we judge rightly of the people of Stockport, tens of
thousands will greet the noble patriot of abused Ireland, and
the enlightened advocate of every liberal measure, with the
hearty welcome to which such qualities are so richly entitled:
It is right we shonld undeceive Mr. O'Connell as to the
sentiments of the industrious population of England to-
wards his native land. He must no longer be permitted to.

the extension of a like justice to our sister island, the mother
