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 superfluous 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 democratic 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.

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 arrived in the evening, some thousands of persons were in attendance, who bad been anxiously awaiting its appearan Plndeand t Y Journal.ilrusttht the Duke of WELLINGTocNeN:V—e U 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 occasion 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."  ...., _. .
