THIRD READING OF THE REFORM BILL.

(From the Manchester Guardian, Saturday. June 9.)
The intelligence of the English Reform Bill having
Inwted the House of Lords, was brought to this town b)
nn express edition of The Sun, which left the office of
that Paper about half-past eleven o'clock on Monday
night, and reached Manchester before half-past three on
Tuesday afternoon,—in about fifteen hours and three-
quarters. On the glad news being announced at the Ex-
Change News-room, which was crowded with subscribers,
it was hailed with a simultaneous shout of joy, which was
beard and answered by the multitude, who had congregated
outside, with repeated cheers. The bells of the collegiate
church rang merry peas the remainder of the evening,
discharges of musketry and pistols were continued during
the night and the greater part of the next day, and fl sgs
were hoisted en various houses in Manchester and Salford.
Indeed, we have seldom witnessed more general demonstra-
tions of satisfaction than those with which the virtual ac-
,, eumplishment of this great measure was received. The
streets were thronged with groups to a late hour, not-
withstanding the wetness of the weather, and all wore
happy smiling faces.

(From the Reading Mercury, Monday, June 11.)
We have again to return our best thanks to the Pro.
prietor of The Sun Newspaper, for another instance of
his public spirit and liberality in forwarding to us by
special express, on Tuesday last, a copy of that Paper con-
taining the joyful intelligence of the third reading of the
Reform Bill, in the House of Lords, which was carried by
a majority of 84. The express reached our office as early
as half-past three in the morning, we immediately set to
work, and by live we sent to press a pretty full extract
from the debate contained in The Sun, and we have the
satisfaction to state, that, by means of the postmen, every
gentlernsn round the neighbourhood had a copy on his
breakfast table, and in the course of the morning we had
upwards of four thousand of these extracts in circulation.
The gratifying news produced an effect upon the minds of
the inhabitants of this and the neighbouring towns and
villages truly electrical. The public places were crowded
all day with joyous reformers congratulating each other
uu the great moral achievement that has been won.

(From the Hampshire Advertiser, Saturday, June 9.)
We ere greatly indebted to the spirited Proprietors of
The Sun newspaper, for forwarding us an express edition
of that Paper, containing the third reading of the Reform
Bill, on Tuesday last. It arrived at our office at twelve
&clock on that day, and the news quickly spread through
the town.

(From the Hampshire Chronicle, Monday, June 11.)
We are again indebted to the spirited and liberal Propri-
etor of The Sun for the first intelligence of the third
reading of the Reform Bill, in the House of Lords, last
Monday. Copies of that piper, containing an ample ac-
count of the deb ite, were received at our office, by express,
about nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, and the news was
in consequence rapidly circulated throughout the city and
surrounding neighbourhood several hours before it ar-
rived through the ordinary channels. Having despatched
a number of papers for gratuitous distribution at South-
ampton, the messenger immediately started for Portsmouth
for the same purpose, and crossed to Ryde, whence papers
were forwarded to Newport and other parts of the Isle of
Wight. Such extraordinary exertions to gratify public
anxiety, effected at a vast pecuniary sacrifice, cannot be too
greatly appreciated, and will not foil to enhance the high
reputation which this journal already possesses.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph, Monday, June I I.)
During the progresss of the Reform question, we have
been four or five times greatly obliged to Mr. Murdo
Young, for the spirited manner in which he communicated
by special expresses intelligence in The Sun newspaper,
regarding the Bill ; on Tuesday List, at noon, the debate
of the preceding evening in the House of Lords, with the
gratifying final result of the measure, reached us in a
second edition of that paper, and the same was instantly
Passed over to the Isle of Wight.

RYDE, JUNE 9.—On Tuesday afternoon, about half-
past two o'clock, an express from the spirited Proprietors
of The Sun, brought the satisfactory intelligence that
the Lords had passed the Reform Bill the preceding even-
ing• On the arrival from London in the evening of Mr.
S. Pring, of Newport, the populace received him with
hearty cheers ; and having place ! him in a chair, they
bore him, preceded by banners, to his stanhope, when he
departed for Newport amidst the loudest plaudits ; thus
paying a well-merited compliment to his indefatigable
exertions in the cause of Reform.

sFrom the Durham Chz oniele, Friday, June 8.)
Through the kindness of the Proprietor of The Sun—
to whom we are bound to express our warmest gratitude
for his indefatigable exertions in the cause of Reform, and
for the immense efforts he has made to furnish the people
in the North of England with the earliest intelligence
connected with the Parliamentary proceedings relative to
the Reform Bill—we received the news of the triumphant
conclusion of the debate in the House of Lords on Monday
night, 16 hours earlier than by the ordinary means of
couununication. The liveliest feelings of joy were almost
universally demonstrated on Wednesday. The bells of St.
(i)4w414)8, St. Nicholas', St. Margaret's, and St. Giles's
Churches rang many merry peals—and a band of music,
accompanied by persons carrying blue banners, bearing
appropriate inscriptions, paraded the streets during the
day. Further rejoicings, we understand, are in contem-
plation..—ln Sunderland the news of the passing of the
Reform Bill was received with unqualified delight. The
bells were rung at intervals during the day, and colours
were hoisted in different parts of the town. A splendid
illumination is likely to take place.

(From the Bristol Mercury Saturday, June 9.)
The intelligence of the third reading of the Reform Bill
arrived in this city on Tuesday last, shortly after eleven
o'clock, it having been forwarded by express, by the
spirited Proprietor of The Sun. The news was received
with the greatest joy, it was welcomed by the firing of
guns, by the cheers of crowds assembled i❑ the evening to
await the arrival of the London coaches, for further intel-
ligence ; and, as far as the people had access to the
churches, by the ringing of bells. The news of the Royal
Assent having been given by commission, has created great
dissatisfaction among our fellow-citizens.

(From the Fife Herald, Thursday, June 7.)
The joyous intelligence of the passing of the Em,lish
Reform Bill arrived here by express last night about half-
Past eleven o'clock, the news having been conveyed to
Edinburgh by an express edition of The Sun, a copy of
Which was hlso politely forwarded to us by Mr. Taylor
trritli. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour and un-
hvourable state of the weather, the people were soon con-
81:egated in the streets. Those who bad retired for the
Nht, after despairing of an arrival, were roused by the
firing of guns and the ringing of bells. An immense bon-
fire Was soon blazing at the cross, and a band of music
subsequently paraded the streets, preceded by a handsome
neform flag, which the worthy Chairman of the Cupar
political Union bad caused to be prepared for the occasion.

a debt of gratitude, which we are anxious to pay,
te, that, by the exertions of The Sun Newspaper,
we were enahltd, in a Second and Third Edition on Wed-

our readers in the north, three days sooner than we could
otherwise have done had we depended on the information
afforded by all the other London Newspapers.
(From the .PortsmoutA Herald, of Sunday, June 10.)
We are again under the necessity of returning our
thanks to the liberal and spirited Proprietor of The Sun

were carrying a correct repre•entat on of Earl Grey. On

sheaf Tavern, Portsea) the Secretary of the Committee of
fifteen rate-payers, thew stopped, and the band having
played " God save the King," there was a general call for
•r Mr. Sweet, tt e Parish Reformer." Mr. Sweet ap-
peared at the window, but Earl Grey and his associates
.were not to be thus easily satisfied, and they required that
he should get out of the window on the leads. This
having been done, several tremendous rounds of applause
were given, when Mr. Sweet addressed those beneath,
congratulating them on the success of the Reform Bill,
and referring to the local Reform which he and those act-
ing with him were endeavouring to effect in the admi-
nistration of the affairs of the parish of Portsea. This
address was received with nine distinct rounds of cheers,
w 'aid) Mr. Sweet having acknowledged, retired, and his
Lordship and associates, attended by his supporters, &c.
proceeded in their perambulation.

NEWPORT.—to the spirited Editor of The Sun news-
paper we are again indebted, for the earliest intelligence of
the result of the third reading of the Reform Bill. An ex-
press arrived in Newport with two newspapers from The
Sun office before four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon—an
hour, so early,so little anticipated,that although the car con-
taining the express news was surmounted with the Reform
ensigns, it excited but little attention at the time. The
news, however, spread like lightning, and on the arrival
of Mr. Pring (between seven and eight), who had been
to London awaiting the result, the whole town poured out
its population to meet him, with bands of music, banners,
and laurels. A procession was formed by the members of
the benefit societies, the workmen of the lace factory and
numbers of the inhabitants, which proceeded through the
principal streets, and with loud shouts proclaimed the
heartfelt joy for the success and accomplishment of this
long prayed for measure. The lace manufactory at Broad-
land was splendidly illuminated on the occasion, and ex-
hibited at a little distance one universal blaze of light.

(From the Elgin Courier, Friday, June S. )

We have just received, says the North Briton, by the
kindness of Messrs. J. Taylor Smith, an express edi-
tion of The Sun, which brings us the glad tidings that
on the third reading on Monday night the Reform Bill was
passed in the House of Peers, by a majority of 84 ; 106
having voted for it, and only 22 against it.

(From the Staffordshire Advertiser, Saturd iy, June 9.
The news of the Bill having been read a third time,
reached this county at an early hour on Tuesday morning,
by express, from The Sun newspaper office. We were
favoured with an express copy of that journal, for which
we offer our best thanks to its spirited publisher. The
news was received with manifestations of joy in every
quarter. We have received accounts from all parts of
the county, the Potteries, Newcastle, Lichfield, Wolver-
hampton, Walsall, &c. describing the enthusiasm of the
people on the occasion ; the bells were rung, banners
were hoisted, and bands of music paraded ti.• streets. In
this town, in addition to these varied expressions of joy,
a huge bonfire was lighted in the Mat ket.place, and can-
non were fired at intervals throughout the evening. Pre-
parations are every where making for a grand rejoicing day.
There seems, at present, to be no general understanding
as to what particular day shall be fixed upon. In some
places, we observe an early day in the ensuing week, is
announced as that o❑ which the event will be celebrated.

THE " SUN " NEWSPAPER.-We have to record an-
other instance of the extraordinary speed with which this
newspaper circulates news throughout the country. The
express edition of The Sun was in Chesterfield at a little
after eleven on Tuesday morning, with a full report of the
proceedings in the Lords and third reading of the Reform
Bill, which took place only thirteen hours previously !
Certainly this is most unrivalled expedition. We, who
fully know the trouble, delay, and expense of getting up
an express edition, feel it our duty, in the name of the
provincial press, to acknowledge the obligations conferred
on them (and individually on ourselves) by the public
spirit of Mr. Young. It is without precedent—almost
beyond belief. The journey from London was accom-
plished in about twelve hours : at the rate of more than
twelve miles an hour, including all stoppages !

(From the Stirling Journal, Thursday, June 7.)
Thanks !—ten thousand thanks !—to the enterprising
Proprietors of The Sun. They have removed, by their
unparalleled exertions, the last load of uneasiness from the
minds of the Reformers of Scotland 24 hours earlier than
it could have been dispelled by any other means. By an
express edition, politely forwarded to us by our much-
respected friends, Messrs. James Taylor Smith and Co.,
Edinburgh, we are enabled to give the third reading of
the Refotn Bill, on Monday night, in the House of Lords,
which was carried by a majority of 84. We cannot suf-
ficiently prize such public-spirited conduct on the part of
the Proprietors of The Sun. To reward them is far
beyond our power.

(From the Perth Advertiser, Thursday, June 7.)
Final triumph of the people ! Passing of the Reform
Bill in the House of Lords by a majority of 84. We are
enabled to lay the above gratifying intelligence before our
readers by the kindness of Messrs. Taylor Smith and Co.,
Edinburgh, who forwarded to us an express edition of The
Sun this evening, from which our report is taken of the
result of this very important measure.

(From the Glasgow Chronicle, Friday, June 8)

O❑ Wednesday evening the intelligence of the passing of
the Reform Bill reached Greenock. No sooner was the
news known than flags were displayed fiom the Steeple,
the Coffee-room, the Exchange Reading-room, &c., and
the bands of comic paraded the streets playing spirited
stirring airs, followed by a vast concourse of the inhabi-
tants. A good exhibitio❑ of fire-works was made in dif-
ferent parts of the town. To the enterprising Editor of
The Sun, and the kindness of Mr. Atkinson, the Re-
formers of Greenock are indebted for being put in pos-
session of the cheering intelligence twenty-four hours
sooner than by the regular mail. On receipt of the ex-
press edition of The Sun, Mr. Atkinson forwarded a
copy by the Sultan steamer to the Commercial Reading_
room, Greenock.

The intelligence from France, and the accounts
given by private persons who left the French capital, de-
scribe the authority of the Government to be irresistible.
They report that the great evil now to be apprehended is,
not the power of the populace to contend with the mili-
tary, but the difficulty of finding bread for the people.
All those persons who have hitherto resorted to Paris with
supplies of the necessaries of life would be deterred from
entering the city during the insurrection ; the insurrection
being quelled, and the metropolis declared in a state of
siege, would not be a change tending greatly to restore
confidence in the minds of the provision-dealers. After
the conflict in July, 1830, a very considerable portion of
the people of Paris were driven to seek food in the pro-
vinces; but the rising against the Government was at
that time popular, and the Parisians were welcomed by
their compatriots in every village and hamlet. They would
have no such recommendation now, and the difficulty of
finding food for the inhabitants of Paris will be very for-
midable. We wish it may not occasion further tumult.—

By the Canzilla, which arrived this morning
from Havre, we have the Havre Journal of yesterday.
Of Paris news it contains nothing further than is detailed
in our postscript, but it brings news from Nantes so
late as Tuesday last, at which time no attempt had been
made on the sea-port of L'Orient by the Carlist party,
though it appears from the repeated mention made of the
gendarmerie, the troops of the line, and the Nationa,
Guard proceeding in stations directions against parties at
800 or 1,000 of them, that the Chouans are increasing in
numbers. On Monday and Tuesday last the Chouans
had surprised and disarmed parties of all these forces,
and in one instance they obtained eighty muskets. On
Monday, the diligence from Paris to Nantes was stopped
within a few miles of the latter city, and searched for
arms. The Advocate, BERRYER, of Nantes, bad twice
had an interview with the Duchess de BERRI, and bad en.
deavoured to persuade her to quit the country; she had
refused to do so, asserting she was confident her cause
would be successful,' and that she hourly expected the de-
fection of several regiments of the line, and their declara-
tion in her favour. The news of the passing of the Re-
form Bill reached Havre on Wednesday last, and was re-
ceived there with every demonstration of satisfaction.
The band of the National Guard, accompanied with
English and French flags, serenaded the English Consul,
playing alternately the national airs of the two countries,
in compliment, as they said, fur the manner in which the
English nation had celebrated the glorious three days of
July. The National Guard of Havre and Ingouvilli,
despatched on Thursday, by an especial express, an ad-
dress to Lours-Prerraree:, expressive of their attachment,
and their determination to lupport his cause. At Can,
also, the same demonstrations had been made.—Hamp-
