MANCHESTER, JUNE 6.

It is almost impossible to describe the state of the public
mind in this town, on the receipt of the news by The Sun
express of the third reading of the Reform Bill in the Hoist
of Lords, which left London at half-past eleven on Monday
night, and arrived in Manchester at a quarter past three
the following afternoon. Joy beamed upon the counte-
nance of almost every one, except upon the few, very few
ultra Tories of the town, whose faces became considerably
elongated at this death-blow to their hopes. A day of
public rejoicing and a night of illumination is talked of, and
is only prevented from being immediately fixed from the
wish that the thing should be general throughout the nation.

PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.—It afforded
us sincere pleasure to be the organ of announcing, at
an unexpectedly early hour on Tuesday, the glorious event
of the passing of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords,
by a majority of 84. The intelligence was received in
this town with every demonstration of joy_the bells
struck up a merry peal, and continued ringing at intervals
until a late hour, while the inhabitants were seen in every
direction felicitating each other on the success of the " Great
Charter of the People of England." It would he super-
fluous to add any further remarks on a question now so
well understood by every class of the community—we will
therefore content our,elves with congratulating our readers
on the auspicious decree which commences a new era in
British history—rendering the Members of the House of
Commons the real representatives of the rank, property,
intelligence, and respectability of the land, by abolishing
close boroughs o❑ the one band, and the worst of demo-
cratic constituencies on the other, and giving the
privilege of the elective franchise to none but those who
have some interest at stake in the common stock of the
nation.—Cheltenham Chronicle.

We scarcely know how to find words suffi-
ciently strong to express the exuberance of joy with
which the intelligence of the third reading of the Reform
Bill was received in this town. The first rumour of the
glorious event was brought here by the African steamer ;
but little attention was then paid to the report, most

fThat noble vessel entered the port in complete
gala style, decorated with flags, &c., wherever they could
possibly he hoisted, and presenting altogether a most
beautiful appearance. The news spread with the rapidity
of lightning—nothing but shouts and exultation were to
be heard in every street. In the space of a few minutes
the bells of St. Andrew's and Charles sent forth their
merriest peals—flags were thrown across the principal
streets—the shipping in ifamoaze were duly dressed in
an innumerable variety of colours, and we are sure that we
do not exaggerate when we state that when the mail ar-
rived in the evening, some thousands of persons were in
attendance, who bad been anxiously awaiting its appear-

sattendance at Lord PALMERSTON'S installation was a
piece of etiquette which the Noble Duke felt himself quite
unable to surmount. Being in town, and being summoned,
it is said that his Grace was as much bound by precedent to
appear, as his Royal Master was on a more important oc-
casion compelled to dis-appear on the same day, and by the
sante unrelenting authority. What a system of overgrown
babyism is the whole machinery of a Court ! Tintes.
When the Duke of WELLINGTON, amidst a
thunder of applause, gave ,4 Protestant ascendency" as a
toast, at the Pitt dinner, a zealous Anti-Catholic, near the
bottom of the table, was overheard muttering to himself,
,s Why, this is as bad as Macbeth drinking to the health
of Banquo after he had murdered him."
