LosDoN, Dec. 3.--1t is estimated
that at least fifty thousand persons
were in the procession which formed
the imposing feature of the reform
demonstration which took place o-day,
Nearly all the trades societies were in
full force and marched to the place Of
meeting. Forty-seven Of these or
ganized bodies together with various
branches of the reform league, were
in the line, which was composed Of
four grand divisions under the guild
ance of Marshals and led by bands of
music, banners and society insignias.
1t was by far the largest and most
important affair of the kind which
has ever taken place in this country.
Notwithstanding the very unpleasant
state Of the weather, 1T is fact wor7
thy of notice that the stars and stripes
waved above the procession in many
places, and was frequently and loudly
cheered. The band, toe, seemed to
have caught the inspiration of the oc-
cassion, and INDUCED in the produc-
tion of national airs Of q patriotic
character. Theameeting took. place
in the grounds Of Beaufort House, a
most convenient location for so largo
a gathering.
Stands were erected for the accom-
mediation of the several speakers, a
large number whom were present on
the occasion. Tne stores in Pail Mall
Piccadilly, and the other thorough
fares through the procession was to
pass. The people congregated at the
St James, where the procession was
formed. On the grounds of Beaufort
House the greatest order was main
tanned throughout the demonstration,
and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed.
The moral effect of the whole affair
cannot be over estimated.

YANKEE STRATAGEM.-During the
Revolutionary war, two brothers from
one of the eastern ports were com
manders of privateers they cruiscd
together and were eminently success
ful, doing great damage TO the enemy
and making money for themselves. =
One evening being in. the latitude of
tho shoals of Nantucket but many
miles to the eastward of them, they
espied large British vessel having
the appearance Of merchantmen,
and made towards her; but, to their
astonishment they found her to be- a
frigate in disguise. A very high breeze
prevailing, they hauled off in differ
ent directions. One only could be pur-
sued, and the frigate gal ed rapidly
on him. Finding that he could not
run away, the COMMANDER had re-
source to stratagem. AOnJa sudden he
hauled in sail, and all hands were
employed with setting poles, as if
showing his vessel of. a bank. The
people on board the frigate, amazed
at the supposed danger they had run,
and TO save themselves from being
grounded, Immediately clawed off, and
left the more knowing Yankee TO
make himself scarce" who, as soon
as night rendered it,prudent for him,
hoisted sail in sen two hundred
fathoms deep.
