4 LONDON, Feb. 12.-The Reform demonstration on
Monday was great success. There were 10000 per-
in the procession, and the streets were lined
with more than 100000 spectators. A hundred
mounted pioneers, drilled as cavalry, headed tho
procession. The best order was maintained during
the march; and except in few cases Of bon
netting and throwing Of stones no arrests were
made. The day was bright and
full Of sunshine, and was in striking contrast with
the day on which the Queens procession 10 the
Houses of Parliament took place. All London
seemed to be out of doors. Flags and banners were
everywhere displayed. The American. French and
Italian flags were carried in the procession, as
also picture of the yacht Henrietta, During the
march the bands played Yankee Doodle" the Mar
seillaise," John Brown" and the Garibaldi Hymn.
The Prince Of Wales and Prince Alfred observed tho
display from the United Service Club but their pres
ence elected cheers, superb ovation took place
at the American Embassy. All the men in the pr6.
cessiOn took off their hats they passed ad gave
nine cheers. The following MOTIFS, which were
literally displayed eli the banners, indicatethe senti
ments Of the people: "No Surrender" Liberty.
Equality, Fraternity" Manhood Suffrage
"Serfdom is Infamous The voice of the people
tyrants is duty to God" Taxation without Repre-
sentaton is Tyranny" Liberty to those who dare
demand it," "Tust God, but keep your pow
der dry" The procession terminated its march
