IMPORTANT FROM ENGLAND. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE WERALD. -Smmeoase Reform Demonstration in Louden uge Precession of the Trade Secictics— The “Stare and Stripes” Carried to the “ Wearing of The Green.” Qusen’s Hore:, i Lonpow, Dec. 3, 1866—P. M. The demonstration made to-day by all the ‘trade societies of London, in aid and approval -of the Parliamentary reform movement, con- stituted the most important political event which has ever taken place or been wlinessed in this country. As John Bright anticipated, in his speech at Manchester a few days since, fully fifty thou- sand men paraded and formed in the proces- sion, and there would have been many thou- sands more present but for the rain which fell during the day. There were forty-seven trade societies, with many branches of the Reform League organi- zation. The members were formed by their officers into four divisions, each division being accompanied by a band or bands of music, and having appropriate devices on fine ban- ners, quite in the American style. This buge procession was formed in St. James’ Park at noon, and started at « given word, marching along Pall Mall, Picca- dilly and other prominent thoroughfares to Beaufort House grounds, in the suburbs of the -eity. An immense mecting took place here and is now going on. ‘There are seven plattorms, occupied by fifty popular speakers and leaders of the people. During the march of the procession all the stores or shops along the route were clused and kept shut. The streets were crowded, perfectly “alive” with people. The windows were filled with spectators. There was great enthusiasm exhibited on all sides. ‘The men behaved in a very orderly man- ner. There has been no row up to this mo- meal. Among tbe flags borne prominently in the procession was that of “the Stars and Stripes,” and among the airs played by almost every band was “ The Wearing of the Green.” Mr. Bright Present. Lonpon, Dec, 3-—Hvening. Jobn Bright was present at the great ‘reform demonstration which took place in Londoa to-day. There were probably fifty thousand people in the procession, in spite of a beavy rain, only a portion of whom could enter the grounds where the meeting was held. Resolutions were passed amid great en- thosinam. At the conclusion the people dis- persed peaceably.
