There are to be in town so many fine displays in honour of the Re- form Act, that we earnestly wish we could say with precision when they are to be made. The Lowther Arcade is to be illuminated, and to have a dance; Covent Garden Market is to exhibit a dance, and what is better, a dinner ; there is to be a dinner in Hyde Park, for 800; to say nothing of Farringdon Market dinner, the dinner at the Guildhall, the illumination, and half a thousand other good things. The general impression at present is, that the grand day ought not to be fixed until all the Bills are passed ; which will not take place until the first or second week of July. Illuminations seem to be at a discount in the country. None are announced in any of the towns, where processions, dinners, and other festivites are pro- mised, save only in Aylesbury, Southampton, and Winchester. Man- chester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Nottingham, Leeds, Carlisle, De- vonport and Plymouth, and Edinburgh, have aildeclared against them.
