GENERAL ILLUMINATION IN LONDON,

The Lord Mayor has publicly signified his wish that
his fellow-citizens should, by illuminations and other testi-
monies of joy, this evening, manifest their gratitude to his
Majesty for having dissolved a Parliament which no
longer studied the interests or wishes of the people. His
Lordship will himself set the example, and has given
orders for the Mansion-house to be splendidly illu-
minated. The joy bells of the different parishes will also
ring merry peals on the occasion. It is anticipated the
metropolis will be one blaze of light this evening, and no
doubt the whole country will pursue a similar course.
This night there will be a general illumination through-
out the metropolis, and in all probability throughout the
country. The illuminators in gas and oil have received
orders from the proprietors of club-houses, hotels, and
public buildings, to prepare the most brilliant specimens of
their art for the occasion. The Lord Mayor has given di-
rections for illuminating the Mansion-house, and the city
wilt vie with the west-end to show devotedness to the
cause-of the King and People. Child and Co.'s, and the
principal London bankers--Rundell and Bridge, and the
principal jewellers—have splendid illuminations in pre-
paration, and the newspaper offices also intend to light up.

THE MAN HUNT BURNT IN EFFIGY
AT MANCHESTER !

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR, This evening the effigy of the recreant
Hunt has been burnt on the famous field of Peter 100,
where he has so often addressed thousands. On this occa-
sion I witnessed a greater number dancing, and exulting
over the ashes of his effigy, than ever Isa i• listening to
him in the days of his greatest glory. During the pro-
cess of bin-Ring, the band played the " Dead March of
throughSauL in solemn
emn procession, round the field, and ulti-
mately
the town. I am also happy to state that
the determination of Ministers to dissolve Parliament has
been received here on 'Change, and over the town, with
high exultation, and a determination on the part of the
people to stand or fall by the Ministers.

Sea,—The news of the dissolution of Parliament by
the King in person was received in this town with the
most gratifying sentiments of approbation. All the three
papers publishul second editions, and " Long live the
King !" was the universal cry. A requisition to the
Mayor was prepared this afternoon, entreating him to call
a public meeting to return thanks to his Majesty, and
although it was market-day, in two hours one hundred
signatures were obtained of the most respectable inhabi-
tants, and on being presented to the Mayor (Wm. Wilson,
Esq.), it is understood he will call the meeting for Tues-
day next.

An address has to-day been circulated from our two
3-lenthet9.Sir T. Denman and General Fergusson—soli-
citing the suffrages of the electors of this town; and it
is confidently expected they will 'be re-elected without
opposition.

"In the County active means are adopting to return a
Member in opposition to Admiral Sotheron.
Serjeant Wilde made his appearance in Newark this
morning, and has commenced an active canvas with every
prospect of ousting the Duke of Newcastle's nominee,
Mr. Sadler.

If you will publish this letter, you will oblige many of
the loyal inhabitants of Nottingham, for whom I ant
your's obediently, R. SUTTON.
