The Loan PnovosT's housa, St. Vincent-place—A r
transparency representing the City Arms, underneath
which was Trade and Manufactures, with the figure of
Commerce, holding the flag of Reform. The motto,
Let Glasgow flourish," which covered the frant of his
Lordship's house, was lighted with 1,600 gas burners—
formed into the shape of an anchor—the ground was
firmed of gold leaves stuck loosely on, which vibrated with
the rarefied air of the gas. The effect was by far the most
splendid of all, and attracted universal admiration. Its
design reflected great credit on the talent and taste of Mr, a
Liddell, who fitted it up, and also on his Lordship's

liberality-. ,

was the portrait of his Majesty, in an Admiral's uniform,
in the act of lifting his hat front hie head with his left
hand, and taking hold of a glass of wine with the right, as
if about to propose as a toast (the word being printed in
large letters below) " Reform." On his Majesty's right,
a half-length portrait of Lord Chancellor Brougham in his
robes, with his motto below, "Pro Rege, Lege et Grege."
On his Majesty's left, Earl Grey, also in his robes as •I
Peer, and half-length size, with the words below, "1793,
Alter et idem, 1831." On the extreme right of the •
range, a similar portrait of the Lord Advocate
on the pedestal, the words, " The Advocate of the
People." On the extreme left, a similar portrait of Lord
John Russell, and below it the words, " Success to the
Russell Purge." The centre window of the upper range was ,
occupied by a transparency, representing a printing-press,
around which were the names of three London and three
Glasgow newspapers— Times, Sun, Spectator=Clitp-

.4ff in the course of the night, and some of them, accom- .
panied by comments from Mr. Lumsden, were received by
thousands around his mansion with loud and spirited cheer-
ing.

ILLUMINATION DINNZIL.
On the evening of the Illumination, the good cause
convened upwards of one hundred gentlemen, who Ifined
together in the New Exchange Tavern, which was meat
elegantly fitted up for the occasion, awl formed, previous
to the dinner, an object of great attraction. Mr. Bell
was Chairman, and Mr. Lumsden, Croupier. We cou 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 admiraNe, an ! the hilarity of
the guests of the highest kind. The eloquence of Sir D.
K. Stanford, was, as usual, unrivalled, arid formed. yes-
terday, a theme of praise with all who had the pleasure to
hear him.

KELVINIIAIiGth-The Public Works at Kslvinhaugh,
on the Clyde, displayed a great variety of tricoloured
flags, and other emblems of rejoicing.
PA ist,rv.—On die same day Paisley wis splendidly illu-
minated. Sa also were Govan and Partick. The burgh
of Renfrew, and the town of Hami'too, acted the same
joyous 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 its noble
owner. Pollokshaws, and the villages of Da!muir and
Duntocher, have testified their joy in a similar way,—in •
short, the movement is universal, and it would be abso-
lutely wearisome to go over the names of the
Oardifferent •
places that have thus distinguished themselves. cor-
respondents in them all must excuse us for thus merely
glancing at them.
Dumisaatrote was beautifully illuminated on 'Monday
evenine, with the exception of the houses of the Prom at
and Dailies Dixon and Davidson, who chose, in their
wisdom, to remain in darkness. 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 or BOTHWELL. —This beautifully situated
little village was brilliantly illuminated on Monday evening
in honour of the great measure of Reform now before Par-
liament.

LARKHALL.—In concequence 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, cad joyously paraded the streets, to the
amount of snore than 1,000 people.
STKATHAVEN.-In consequence of the Ministerial plan 1 '
of Reform having been carried in a second reading in the
House of Commons, at four o'clock, p.m., on Saturday
tat, the Deacons, with the Members of their respeciva
bodies in this town, clothed with their badges and insignia
of office, met, and with the Strathaven instrumental band, •
walked in proce-sisn through the town, with music play-
ing, colours flying, guns firing, and bonfires blazing, and
at intervals were regaled wiih mountain dew by several
respectible inhabitants, friends to the cause. After walk-
ing through the town, the procession returned to the As-
sembly Room, where a public dinner was helA, and, in
the meantime, the town was brilliantly illuminated.
GItEENOCIC.—This town also, with its accustomed pa-
triotism and spirit. was splendidly illuminated on Mond..y
evening. The late hour at which we received the account
prevents us front going into dei.ail; but it is sufficient to
announce the fact that Greenock has done her part like
others, and that, too, in a most enthusiastic find hrillian
manner.
