LONDON.
THURSDAY, APRIL 28.

TB 14] EVENING STAR.

This day despatches were received at the Colonial Office
from Jamaica, dated the 4th March; and from Barbadoes,
dated the 22d following.

This afternoon the QUEEN held a Drawing Room at St.
James's Palace. The day was dull and wet ; but the assem-
blage of Nobility and Gentry of both sexes, to pay their
respects to her MAJESTY, was numerous and highly
gratifying.

We have, as usual, made some extracts from the Paris
Papers received this morning, by the Eatafette. We
are aware that our home politics are at the present
juncture too interesting, to admit all consideration of
any other subject ; and we are so fully impressed with
the propriety of its being so—so reluctant to divert
one intellectual ray of our Readers' mind from that
oncer CAUSE which should engross every atom of the
man, both mentally and corporeally—that we hesitate about
even indicating, in our usual way, the substance of our
Foreign Intelligence.
It would, however, be culpable not to mention, that Le
Constitutionnet states, that credit is given in Paris to
another battle, between the Poles and Russians, which has

terminated, after three days' fighting, once more favourably
to the Poles. We need not say how fervently we hope
this news _may be true. Insurrections in Finland,
it will be seen from our extracts, are likewise spoken
of with confidence ; and a passage will be found worthy
the perusal of those who cars a little think on continental af-
fairs at the present moment, containing a curious coup-
d'eil of the warlike preparations of the continental nations.

We anxiously hope that none of our Readers will omit to
notice, and noticing omit to make others notice, the impor-
tant meeting which took place yesterday, and an account of

which will be found in this paper, for the purpose of raising a

" Loyal and Patriotic Fund, for assisting the Canoe of Re-
form." It should be recollected that the people are carry-
ing on a war, of which, according to the degrading custom
of our existing representative system, money is most particu-
larly the sinews. That the Fund will be honestly and advan-
tageously employed, to forward the great victory, there can
be no doubt, when the names of the Chairman and Com-
mittee are known.

From Stratford Green to Chelsea Church, and from Hol-
loway to Brixton, the inhabitants of London displayed LAST
NIGHT their domestic feelings of gratitude and loyalty to
the KING, for having aided his people in shaking off the
incubus of the borough system.
We viewed the whole as a study of national character,
and it was in all respects a delightful spectacle of universal
popular feeling. No other city in the world could turn into
its streets such dense masses of population ; and last night,
thirty miles of the main streets of this metropolis were
literally crowded.
Double lines of coaches, and other vehicles, filled too the
middle of every principal street, in gay but slow procession,
containing families of children, females, or timid persons,
who feared to encounter the pressure on the street pave-
ments. Thelay-biirly, the singing uflopeler airs, •the
hums, the explosion of guns, made very properly from
the tops of houses, the squibs, rockets, and roman
candles, the variety of illumined devices, the mottoes,
pictures, &c. all which, at the same instant, met the
eye and ear in every principal situation, were most ex-
hilirating to every patriotic heart. Then the beauty of our
countrywomen, of every class, all displaying their most
• cheerful countenances, and the uproarious wit of the mobi-
lity, at the expense of the routed faction, rendered the scene
whatever fancy could imagine of popular triumph.
All this light was not, however, without its shade. The
small sulky party of the malignant', in one house in fifty,
displayed the gloominess of their souls in the gloom of their
houses. ft was easy to peep into the souls of others, by means
only of their twinkling rush-lights ; but this extorted defe-
rence stimulated no more than a hearty laugh at their

prudence. The darkness of the public Government offices,
usually so splendid, was some drawback ; but as this was a
* popular tribute to the Government, it was judged more
decorous to receive the compliment than to excite it.
Another circumstance too, and one not to be for-
gotten, was, the obstinate malignity of clerical in-
denying access to the parish belfries. Some

of them were more wise or liberal; bat the merry peals
of these, served only to draw severer reproaches on itlui au-
thorities of St. Martin's, St. James's, and others. Po the
Clergy suppose that the Church will profit more by off
the stream of public intelligence, than by concurring wit
and leading it ?
In our ambulation from Stratford to Chelsea, at was
hilarity, till we passed Charing Cross; even the dismal
front of Northumberland House, had, at ten o'clock,
created no feeling but contempt and pity. Bet nu-
merous dark spots in Pall Mall, St. James's street, and
Piccadilly, being considered as tokens of imalignaney, or
base subserviency, some dozens of boys, and a hundred or
two of the lower class of men, asserted the sovereignty of
the people, on so privileged an evening ; and our walk from
thence to Hyde Park-corner was preceded by a shouting
multitude, who threw their missiles, right and left, through
the plate-glass windows which decorate so many mansions.
The wreck so rapidly effected was astonishing ; and in the
short space of half an hour, many thousand pounds
of glass were demolished—many panes of which were,
in the Aristocratic club-houses, worth four or five
guineas each, while the whole might have been saved by
a dozen pounds of farthing candles.
The Duke of WELLtunTores was the extreme point
West, and a few stones passed through its costly panes ;
but persons from the house stated that the Duchess then
lay dead, and a cry ran through the crowd, " the Duchess
lies dead in the house and instantly expressing their hor-
ror at the meditated outrage, we met them on their retard,
highly gratified with their exploits.
Gloucester House, at the corner of Park-lane, was in
darkness ; but the cry of " the Ktwo's sister," conferred on
it apparent impunity ; though from Devonshire House, which
blazed with torches, to Apaley House, the pavement was
more or leas covered with broken glass.
By this time the police were in great activity, and even
horse soldiery were ordered out. We saw both moving is
all haste to the scene of devastation; but of course merely
to view it, as we had done ; for the perpetrators had either
dispersed, or were carrying on their boisterous mischief in a
hundred other directions.
Besides the main streets, and all the collateral ones, the
populous villages partook of the festival. Ships in the river,
and vehicles moving through the streets, bore their flam-
beaux, while many bore oak and laurel branches, front
among which proceeded songs, huzzas, and often instru-
mental music.

To close our account of yesterday evening's proceedings,
we may say with truth, that the voice of the people was as
that of one man, " from Dan to Beersheba !"

The following extracts from the Brussels and German
Papers, constitute all the meagre details which have reached
us this morning, through the channel common to all the
Newspapers :

Bausen.s, Aeon 23.—A Member of the Committee of the Na-
tional Association, communicates to us the following letter, dated
Arlon, April 19.—" We have now here a company of Chandlers, two
companies of Volunteers, and twenty artillerymen; in all 460 mea—
-1 do not know that there are any others in the neighbourhood, except
two companies of Luxemburg Volunteers at Bouillon, which are
lehortly to march to this City. For some days past we have been ex-
=a 140 artillery, sad 11 amen, 2 battalions, 12 squadrons of
of the line g but nothism comes ; and it is generally believed, the
111 will end in fine prombem Yet the danger which threatearnitietfts
suss attention. At the first signal, the 9,000 Prussians who occupy
Leganburg would bare only a few steps to take to strike at the bean of
unless we are ready to make &vigorous resistance to them.
Milloilritelnly, if there is any longer delay in sending us troops and
the nos= y ammunition, the courage of the Luxemburghers, which
now resembles enthusiasm, may very well be extinguished. or at least
greatly abated."
Lord Passonby dined the day before yesterdy with the Governor of
the Provinces; all the members of our ministry were present except
1111. Sauvage, who has bean confined by indisposition for some days.
BaussaLs, Arau. 24.•Ceneral Vandermere, Governor of the Pro.
vines of Liege, is appointid commander of the third military division,
in the room of General Dane, who is going to comes
the troops in the second military division. Doubts having arisen
on the question whether ecclesiastics were bound to take the oath pre-
scribed by the degree of Congress of March 6, the Minister of the In-
terior has just addressed tothe governors of the provinces, a dm La
explaining the decree whiclt dispenses them from this formality
because the Minister of Religion has nothing to do with the public ad-
ministration. The 4th Company of field artillery which is at Brussels,
will march for Luxembutg, on Monday ; three squadrons of cavalry
will go from Ghent, and son from Limburg, are also going to Lux-
emburg.
Bausam.s, April 26.—The accounts from Memel of the 16th, say
that the rebels who, to the slumber of 4000 men, had occupied Krot-
tingen, had quitted that place, and had probably gone to Dorbian.The
Russian troops at Polangen bad received considerable reinforcements,
among which is a corps of 100 infantry, with four cannon. We have
received a letter from Fnumfort, of the 20th of April, which informs us
that the Diet has put off the affair of Luxemburg till the month of
June ; that it intends to occupy not only Luxemburg, but, in case the
Belgians should make any Belgium itself, in order to in-
demnify itself for the expenses I that on this point it meets with ob-
stacles from the French Government and that this is the cause of the
delay.
It was reported yesterday that four members of the Dutch Opposition
are at Brussels. They are not supposed to have any olbcial character,
but their presence would coincide with what we have before said of the
desireof a great portion of the members of the States-General assembled
at the Hague, to see the relations of good neighbourhood with us re-
stored as soon as possible.
An English courier arrived here yesterday, with despatches from his
Government for Lord Ponsooby.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs gives to-day a grand dinner, tai
which all the Ministers and Lord Poosonby are invited.
Arm 26.—M. Firmin Bogies arrived at Brussels the day before:
yesterday, with despatches from M. Le 800. M. Begier comes fit;
the second time to confirm. that entire and unqualified assent of t
French Government to thirprotecoiof 10th _ .
We know positively (says the Courtier of Brussels) that the Bilgleg
Ministers persist la their opposition to the spoliation decreed by thin
protocol, and that M. Racier will go back as be came.--Brnarae,
Papers, April 27.
VIENN e, APaIL ft.—Despatches from Field Marshal Bares
dated Pesaro, 9th inst. contain, besides details already knoerme do
operations against the insurgent chief Sercognani, after the taking of
Idincona and the measures for the retreat of the second corps, a nodes
that the Pope's General Resta had 6,000 men under his command, the
Ivan of which was on the point of occupying Tolerable. Baron Gep.
pert has caused ithe Castle of Ancona to to repaired. Of the arms
taken from the insurgents, and deposited in the citadel of Ancona as the
property of the Papal Government, he has ordered 200 muskets to be
delivered to the Papal Authorities, for the use of the gend'armes
to protect those points where there are no Austrian troops;
against robbers who may be expected to abound ; as besides, the
regular troops, the insurgents, chiefly consisted of vagabonds from the
towns, who now prowl about the country, without means of subsist-
ence, and alum the peaceable inhabitants. The country people have not
take; the slightest hand in the revolution, not oneof them moved enures
the 'evolutionists ; and the Imperial troops were every where received
by this class in particular with inexpressible joy.—Ares rams Oaserese,
April 16.
BOLOGNA, APAIL 16.—(From a letter.)—Our country is very
gloomy, on account of the threatened reaction' as the amnesty is so-
lemnly revoked. Banishment is now considered as a favour by the
persons implicated. All go to France, and embark at Leghorn. The
number of emigrants is considerable. Perhaps it is a favour which
will not be granted 24 hours hence. Among the prisoners at Vienna
are thirteen Bolognese. The Austrians are concentrating their troops
along the Po.

PARIS, Anus. W.
FRANCE.
Tun Two DISSOLVTIOIrI.—NearIy on the same day,
the King of the French and the King of England visited
their Parliaments for the purpose of dissolving them. The
one could scarcely find enlogiums sufficiently pompous
Ito return thanks ; the other, with the frankness of an honest
man, criticised and disapproved without offending. The one
appeals to the nation, for the end of obtaining for it a
Chamber of Deputies, altogether similar to that which he
considered hinnelfobliged to disperse ; the other, on the con-
trary, with the hope of obtaining from the nation a House
of Commons less refractory than that he has sent away.
The one, a king of yesterday, by the grace of the people
and the barricades, has already attempted to enforce
the privileges of an aristocracy, which is raised on the
side of his throne : the other, the issue of a race who,
to the popular sanction, joins the consecration of 140 years,
understood that the hour of reform had arrived, and that be
must submit to it with a good grace. The one had the table
clear, and be hastened to re-edify the past : the other, in the
midst of rooted prejudices, which habit bad passed into laws,
has thrown himself boldly on the future. The revolutionary
King has thrown himself into the arms of the aristocrats—
the aristocratic King has confided himself to the reformers.
On both sides, a nation silent, attentive ; on both sides, a
detestable electoral mechanism ; on both sides, intriguers in
great numbers, ready to explore the field of battle. But on
one side, these intriguers lose their power by the wisdom of
the Prince; they can only act by their personal influence
and their private means of corruption. On the other, mas-
ters of the employments, of honours, of the treasures of the
state, they can employ all, dest!4 all. Happily, oar public
morals may act better than those sof England.—La Revolai-
•tion. •

DISARMING EUROPE.—The corps formed in the Rhe-
nish provinces, and commanded by Prussian officers, are
sent into the interior and replaced by regiments of Old Prus-
sia. The Confederation has doubled its contingents ; the
single place of Mayence Will receive a garrison of 22,000
men, of which Austria and Primal' will furnish the greater
part. Luxemburg, Landau, and Coblents, make formidable
preparations. Bavaria has promised the Confederation
25,000 men, and 5,000 horses ; Wurtemburg, 15,000 men ;
Baden, 13,000 men; Hesse, 10,000.—Constitutionnel.

Thanks to the Belgian Revolution, which guards us from
Holland, u the English reform preserves us from Welling-
ton and the aristocracy, France is not exactly surrounded
with armies and enemy's fleets ; a new coalition cannot hope
for pay from England, and the emigration cannot rally in
Spain for want of money and auxiliaries. We owe that
security to the revolution which triumphs in the fields of
Belgium and those of Poland, and in the Government even
of Great Britain. The revolution is conquered or suppressed
in central Italy, in Piedmont and in Germany; armed levees
to combat us are at our gates ; and we flatter ourselves with
a disarming. An enemy never disarms but when be is beaten
or victorious.../e Constitutionnel.

Government has made known to us, by the organ of the
Crown, that it is negociating for the general disarming of
Europe, that is to say the reduction of its armies to the
footing of peace. It remains to be learnt whether such a re-
sult is possible in the situation which our revolution has
placed us in regard to Europe. For the armies of Eu-
rope to be reduced to the footing of peace, it is first
necessary that peace should be established ; and is that
the case at present? Will it ever be until the quarrel
of the people and absolute governments shall be definitively
mottled ? Wbo is to make Russia be at peace with Poland;
Austria with Italy ; Holland and the Germanic Confederation
with Belgium, Prussia with the Rhenish provinces, Switzer-
land with the Neighbour, who enforces its neutrality ? Of
two things there must be one ; either insurgent nations
must obtain the redress of their griefs, or they must be put,
out of the state to reclaim them. France must then to
negotiate with success a general disarming, adopt one of the
two parties, either stipulate for the cause of the people, or
join hand to enslave them. General peace must be the
fruit of the triumph of liberty or that of despotism. Whilst
there is a contest between these two powers, there will be war
or cause of war, and the disarming will be impossible.
Europe will always be ready to say to France : If you wish,
that I should disarm in the presence of insurrections, answer
to me for the submission of the people ; answer to me for
yourself, for it is your revolution which has produced all
these revolutions which we must now suppress.
The arming of Europe was, in the origin, at least in ap-
pearance, a measure of precaution, of manifestations of fear
which were not without motives. Now, it is for us to fear:
we see nearly all our frontiers invested, and when our govern-
ment demands that these soldiers should be removed which
press upon us from all parts, it is evident that its attitude his
become defensive—a little longer it will have to supplicate.
In the month of August last, Austria had no more
than twenty-seven thousand men in Italy. At the first
report of our revolution, General Frimont was sent to form
a cordon of observation, following the ways of the Holy
Alliance. This cordon has become in some mouths an army
of 80,000 men, who, not having any longer occasion to
observe the Duchies of Parma and Modena, and the Roman
States, observe France. Extraordinary levies have been or-
dained and executed in the Sardinian States, 85,000 men
are upon foot; a part of these troops spread between Pig-
naroles, Chambery, Annecy, and Montmeillan, can, in two
days' march, be assembled upon our frontiers. At the other
extremity of the Alps, we were guaranteed by Swiss,resolved
to defend their neutrality, and who, knowing well by whom
it might be attacked, fortified themselves on the side of
Italy and Austria; but M. de Metternich, alarmed at that
which be called a partial neutrality, required not only
that the Federal forces should remove from that part of
the frontiers, but that the Swiss should arm on the side
of France ; and the Swiss obeyed by. fortifying Bale, as
"if they feared that the ramparts of Huninguen would quit
the land. There remains no more for Austria but to oc-
cupy some places of Piedmont, to hold France in check,
upon all the chain of the Alps. Represent to it that
its soldiers threaten our independauce, it will reply
that it is interested in preserving its States from
the moral contagion. For the same reason they extend the
cordon of the Holy Alliance upon the Rhine and towards
the north. A spirit truly French reigns in the Rhenish
provinces; wearied of a fiscal and despotic administration : of
taxes which devour them ; and a military regime, which thins
their population, and delivers their youth to the Prussian ba-
ton. Add to these causes of inquietude, the insurrection
of Belgium, the quarrels relative to Luxemburg, the revolu-
tion of Poland, ready to gain the duchy of Posen ; and behold
sufficient motives on the part of Prussia for the state of war
she has established, and which she maintains. That power
had at first ordained the moving of 46,000 men of the first
Ban of the Landwehr, and 24,000 men of the second Ban,
to form the garrison of these places. If these armaments
were not effected with the promptitude which was at first
expected—if it was more than another prodigy of pacific pro-
testations, it is that it could not do all that it wished. Prussia
is rich in soldiers, but poor in money, and not in a state to ex-
pend it for material and transports. She waits the
extermination of Poland to dispose of these active forces,
computed, at the beginning of April at 150,000 infantry
and 23,000 cavalry, without reckoning 25,000 as an army

'of reserve, and the conscription of 1831, which may pro..
cure her again 60,000 men. The intelligence from the
interior of Prussia announces, that it hes ordained a levee of
men from 20 to 40 years, and that the military exceptions
are 'recalled : 55,000 men are already assembled upon the
left bank of

POLAND AND RUSSIA.
It is announced that there has arrived this evening, a
courier from Germany, with news which, always more
favourable to the sacred cause of the heroes of the Vistula,
makes known that a new battle had taken place, which
lasted three days; it was fought at seven leagues from
the Russian frontiers of ancient Poland ; the Poles fought
with an incredible ardour, and completely routed the army
of the enemy. They have intercepted a courier from
General Diebitsch, declaring to the Emperor Nicholas that
the Imperial Guard was entirely disaffected, and that he
could no longer reckon upon it. We offer up our most
ardent wishes to see this happy news confirmed.—Le
Constitutionnel.

KONIGSBERG, APRIL 14.—A report has been current
here yesterday that troubles have burst out in Finland, and
that troops have been sent from Petersburgh ; we do not
know yet whether this news has foundation; there are,
nevertheless, persons who point out the places which are in
insurrection.
PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, APRIL 15.—The post-office department has
made known to the subscribers to the Journals of St. Peters-
burgh, that for some time they must not expect to receive
the Prussian Journals regularly ; because, from the exten-
sion of the insurrection of Lithuania, the communications
with Petersburgh will be interrupted.—Cor. de Nuremberg.

DRUDIN, APRIL 17.—Groat disorders have taken place
this day. Two inhabitants, arrested because they were sus-
pected of having spread revolutionary writings, were liberated
by force. The line and the national guards dispersed the
multitude, and several of the agitators were arrested. It is
presumed that some of the members of the Association of
Citizens, which, in spite of the prohibition, still exists, were
not strangers to these events. The executive has issued war-
rants of arrest against the chiefs of that association.

cirr. TWO O'CLOCK.
Great excitement now prevails in the City, in regard to
the election of the City Members, which takes place to-
morrow. Every interest is making to bring in Mr. Ward
again ; and various are the opinions of his success ; but we
hope the Liverymen will be on the qui vies.
The breaking of the windows in the several quarters of
the town last night, is the entire gossip of the City.
Consols have been during most part of the morning at

for money. Exchequer Bills 4 to 6, India Bonds I to
2 die. New French Scrip one and half to two premium; in
Foreign Securities nothing doing.
The private letters from Paris this morning state, that
some new change in the Ministry there was expected.
The letters from Antwerp do not bring say information of
consequence : all was quiet.
We have a report current that the Poles have experienced
a defeat ; but as no particulars have transpired, we hope it
is not true All we know is from good authority, that
Austria, Prussia, and some of the other powers, are doing
all in their• power to obtain from theEnaperer of Itessirannew
Constitution for the brave Poles.

Turze.—The friends of Reform have at length a rallying point
round which they may range themselves in their country's cease. The
measure which we, in common with many of our brethren, have been
urging for the last week, was yesterday adopted, and promisee the mat
ample success. A meeting, of which the tranallaillOS are Welly
*emend elsewhere, was yesterday held at the Crown and Anchor.
. We must add, however, that much remains to be done by the committee,
besides the mere encouragement of subscriptioos. Them is am a spot
of notoriety or haportas throughout England, with which deli cola
mittee ought not Immediately to correspond. With tepid to the best
means of pressing and enforcing the subsaipdos, we conceive this
occasion to be one which requires that every most &kook Ibe brit
to the WI. lie ought to be solicited at his own door, for such aid as
be is enabled to contribute towards carying on the defensive vu
against the public enemy.

or two others, are named as probable candidates.

than hitherto in the history of this country.

reformer in opposition to the Duke of Grafton.

ning, who opposed the bill.

have adopted a disinterested and patriotic step worthy of

every exertion in their power, gratuitously, to promote the
return of those candidates, and those candidates only, who
will support the just measure of reform, sanctioned by the
King, but rejected by the late House of Commons.

Commons, is coming forward again, in the hope of aiding,
by his vote, in the consummation of the only one of the

the ministers. Two reformers, Mr. James Morrison and
Mr. Rigby Wason, are in the field, and confident of success.
They, as all rsiormers are bound to do, coalesce.
Sum Henry Bunbury, who
gave thi bill his
vote, is again prepared for the field. The " Conselvatives"
are straining every nerve to incite Sir T. Gooch and Sir C.
Vere to come forward in opposition to the late members.
Max.—The Earl of Brecknock is again coming forward,
in opposition to Gen. Palmer,.and is again, we hope, fated
to be defeated. The corporation,however, is a close one.

person to succeed Mr. Dugdale, in Warwickshire, and is '
pledged unequivocally to the whole ministerial measure of
reform. Mr. West and Sir Geo. Chetwynd are named as
likely to contest the county with Sir E.Wilmot,and they ars
both (like Sir Eardley) pledged to reform. Mr. Thomas
Whitmore retiree from Bridgnorth, and Mr. James Foster,
the iron-master of Stonebridge, offers himself as his suc-
cessor, and promises to advocate the Reform Bill ; but the
Burgesses of Bridgnorth are soliciting Sir G. Chetwynd to

NEW PORT (Isle of Wight).—On the arrival of the news on
Saturday morning, informing us that the first step towards
dissolving the Parliament had been taken, the town rung
with shouts of joy from the people. The bells struck up a
merry peel, and after ringing half an hour they were lowered
by firing,--an expression of joy from the bells which has not
been given for many years ; and this was repeated several
times during the day. All our printers were immediately
set to work ; one to prepare cards of address for the inde-
pendent candidates, Sir J. Macdonald and Charles Shaw
Levevre, Esq. another to print the King's speech for circu-
lation through the island; and a third, an addreas.—Brighton
Gazette. _ _

THE REFORM BILL.—The news of the success of Gen.
Gascoyne's motion has excited the most intense feeling at
Bolton. The moment it was made known, groups of gen-
tlemen were to be seen in the Exchange News-room, can-
vassing the matter, and concocting plans to punish Mr.
Wilson Patten for his hypocritical vote. It was resolved to
enter into a subscription to oppose his return by every legi-
timate means, and to issue an address to the freeholders of
the county to join them. It was also agreed that each voter,
who was capable of defraying his own expenses, would go
voluntarily to the poll, and that they would also subscribe
to pay the travelling expenses of their poorer brethren.—
Manchester Times.
EXETER CITY ELECTION.—The bustle of election has
begun. The reformers have been on the alert to find a third
man. Mr. Divett is to be put in nomination : a canvas by
his supporters, beaded by Captain Truscott, and Captain
Buller, of Whimple, is begun, so that for the city we have
Mr. itick, Mr. Buller, and Mr. Divett; the two latter are
declared and doteresin;cl_ sappertems of the revolutionary rep

form bill.—Western Luminary.
NEW COUNTY NIEMEIII.—We are glad to perceive that
there is to be a meeting of resident freeholders, this evening, ,
at the Spread Eagle, Hanging Ditch, to take into consi-
deration who is the fittest person in their opinion, to be
proposed as a Member for the County, at the ensuing elec-
tion, in the place of Mr. Wilson Patten, who has forfeited
the good opinion of many of the freeholders, by the vote be
this week gave against Ministers. It is said that some
wealthy and influential freeholders intend to nominate
Lord John Russell, and also to propose that the necessary
steps be immediately taken to return him free of expense.—
Manchester Times.
DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.—After the arrival of
the intelligence of the dissolation of parliament, and vic-
tories obtained by the brave Polish nation over the Russians,
a number of persons formed themselves into a procession,
and, headed by a band of music, proceeded through the
principal streets, playing" GOD save the King," and other
patriotic tunes, and cheered when opposite the newspaper-
offices which advocated the cause of reform. About twelve
flags were also exhibited, on which were various mottos and
devices. On one was " The King, Gon bless him ;" on
another, " Success to the roles," dc.—lbid.
GENERAL I LLU M INA I'l 0 N.
The spectacle of universal joy, which the metropolis exhibited last
night, must have convinced even the moat prejudiced anti-reformers
that its most respectable and intelligent inhabitants are, to a man, op-
posed to a continuance of their arrogant domination. The illumination
was more general, more tasteful, and more magnificent than any which
took place during the whole of the revolutionary war; and as if it were
intended to disappoint the predictions of the Tories, was conducted
with a degree of good humour which will excite in their breasts the bit-
terest lamentations. With exceptions so few as scarcely to deserve
notice, every house in London was last night shining in a blase of
light. After the Mansion-house, the theatres, and some of the
banking-houses In the city, the newspaper offices were particularly
conspicuous for the richness et their decorations. In private
houses there was such a variety of patriotic devices, and brilliant tran-
spanncles, that our columns would be filled if we attempted to describe
them ; and as no words would render the description of them as plan-
ing to the reader as the now et thews was delightful to the speetetor,
we think it more advisable to kayo them entirely undeseribed, thin to
select any for particular admiesdao, where all were in Intention eqtialiy
praiseworthy. On the north.side of the Thames, Fleet-street, and
Holborn, in the city, and the Strand and Bebent.street in Westmin.
ster, were the most glitteriag parts of the town; but notwith-
standing their greater capabilities for display. none of them equalled
in splendour the spectacle exhibited in the High-street of the
Borough. The river itself was not without its attractions, for
the vessels in the Pool had decorated their mute and yards with a pro-
fusion of lights, which, front their elevated position, shone like distant
stars in the darkness of the atmosphere. The crowds which perambu-
lated the streets were very numerous, and up to a late hour very good-
natured. They seemed to enjoy the consciousness of their own strength,
and were in consequence more inclined to laugh at the opponents of re-
form than to treat them with either reproach or violence. About three
houses in Cheapside were not lighted up. The multitude passed them
without further observation than that they were occupied by place-
bolder a, dependent on the Boroughmongers ; and that it would be
therefore cruel to force them to join in the general exultation.--
A similar observation was mode before a house in the Borough,
where the owner had placed • few candles in his window, Wilds
flung their scanty light on a double row of masks, which were
" grinning horribly a ghastly smile" at the people. In Hol-
born a slight collision took place between the pollee and a few idle
boys, who, after 12 o'clock, were foolish enough to endeavour to compel
Mr. Corbyn, the druggist, to illuminate his house, which up to that
hour had remained safely enveloped in gloom. At a still later hour a
similar occurrence took place at Northumberland-house, where the
people in authority thought it wiser to incur the risk of disturbing the
public tranquillity titan the expense of placing a few torches in front of
that aristocratical mansion. With the exception of these slight ebulli-
tions of popular feeling—without which no illumination ever yet took
place in llnglaod—there was nothing in the conduct of the multidude
last night which could at all justify the application which some Tory
lords made in the course of yesterday to the Home-office for a
prohibition of the illumination, on the ground that it would

Iliad to riot and disturbance. The illuminatlon, as we before stated,
was so general—lt extended in such various dbectioas in and about
Lwrionitottzd up so completely the widget streets and narrowest
=sin that it was impossible far any &meet reformer to be
fled with the prospect before him. On the contrary, every heart
sensed overflowing with joy and gratitude- The name of the King
tinpon every tongue, and more than once in the course of the evening
weimwd the national anthem for his safety chanted in rude chorus by
hunfireds of his subjects in the streets. The first time was in Southwark,
whee the leader of the song was a poor fellow, who showed his exultation
by aiming six lighted candles fastened en his hat ; and the last time was
in fire Suand, where a white horse, drawing a cart, &aimed with lan-
relaand evergr and reform banners, and illuminated with portable
wFsids large concourse of people, all joining in enthusiastic
to in Clod save the Bing.' Some years ago events like these
have been hailed as the most convincing proofs of a nation's
loyilty, but now we should not be surprised at bearing that, like the
reform bill which gave them birth, they are the most decisive forerun-
nets of an approaching revolution.
We should not be doing justice to the townships in the neighbour-
bud of the metropolis, did we not mention that they fully participated
in he feelings of London yesterday evening. liatcliffe, Wapping,
Shalwell, Limehouse, and Poplar, to the east of the metropolis, pert".
cobrly distinguished themselves se did also Newington, Lambeth,
Htanirstm. and Brixton. At the latter place the pleasure grounds of
wend gentlemen were illuminated by several hundreds of lamps, sus.
Faded from the branches of the trees. The effect produced by the mix-
tun of their various hues with the foliage was striking and picturesque,
sadratited great admiration among the spectators. At various places
aloig the river fireworks were let off in the course of the evening, and in
molt of the parish churches the bells rang merry peals, in accordance
with the feelings of the people on this memorable and joyous occasion.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
•

About half-past ten o'clock last night,: several thousand men pro-
cesied along the Strand, and smashed the windows of those persons who
did net illuminate. On arrivimengeti Northumberland House they
ins andy demolished the windows. then proceeded to Pall-mall,
where day besbe several wide were not illuminated. The

end Mr. W. W. Wynn, mini the mob approach, placed candles in
/h-eir windows, and their- biedies,, timeless, were not attacked. The
bob then proceeded to St. iames'edsirest, where they broke the win-
dows of Crockford's, Jordan's, the Guards, and other Club Houses.
They then went to the Duke of Wellington's residence in Piccadilly, and
diugd a shower of stones, which broke several windows. The Duke's
servants tired out of the windows over their heads to frighten them,
but which had not the desired effect. The policemen then informed
the mob that the corpse of the Duchess of Wellington was on the pre.
mime, and this Intimation appealing to the dearest feelings of the heart
acted as a chum, and arrested all further violence against A peley-
House. They then turned up Park-lane, and broke some windows in
the Duke of Gloucester's house. They then demolished the whole of
the windows In the Marquess of Londonderry's mansion; and having
done similar damage to the premises of other gentlemen, proceeded to
Privy-gardens, and broke Sir Robert Peel's windows. They after-
wards dispersed.
