Queen's Horst, Lonpox, Feb, 12, 1867. ‘The Roform League’s open air demonstra'ion, which ‘was made in this city yesterday (Monday), the 11th inst, ‘wasa grand success in the shape of a moral foree dis- + play, and avery unmistakable expragpion of the fectivg ofthe workingmen and middie classes with respect to she necessity of an extension of the franchise by Par- lament and the Crown. Thore wore twenty thousan@ persons in the proccs- fon, The streets through which they marched were Uned with at least two hundred thousand spectators, the mst of whom had turned out from sympathy and to evince their feeling with the men. Gno hundred picked men acting as pioneers, drilled as cavalrymon, beaded the line and the very best order was maintained during tho march, with the exception of he occurrence of a few of “bonneting’’ and throw- ingrof stones by some “roushs.’” ‘The day was bright and. with acicarsun shining above, was in pleasing and striking contrast as regarded the ‘weather to thet on which the Queen rode in royal siate from Buckingham Palace to Westminster to open tle Parliament. fhe whole popntation of London appeared to be out of toons during the day. There were flags and banners dis- played om all sides through thecity, and the Gaited ‘States, Breach, and italian nations! Lags were vorne -aloO in the proccasion by the reformers. 1 obgerved also in the line a picture of the Amorcar yacht Hearfetta. ‘The bands of the leaguers played “Yankee Doodle,” the “Marseiliass,”” old ‘Joha Brown Marebing Along,” end the “Garabaldi Hymu.”” Tne Pruce of Wales and Prince Alfred were in the city, and observed the display, apparently with atten- ‘ion, from the United Service Ciub House. The princes were seen and recognized, but their presence did not elicit @ cheer, Whon the proceesion reached to opposite the official @esidence of tho United States Minister there was a splendid offering, indecd dvaticn to the spirit and work- ‘wag of the American constitution. Opposite to the @ouse every man took off his hat in salute, and nine deafening cheers wore given the American Union, ‘Tbe mottos om the banvers roflected the spirit of the people. From many I may mention “The Bailot,’’ “No “Surrender,” “Liberty, Equaiity and Fraternity,” ‘“Man- hood Suffrage,” “Gerfdom is Infamous,” “The Voice of the People Cannot be Opposed. with :afety,”” “Disobedt. ence to Tyrante is a Duty to God,” ‘Taxation Without is Tyranny,” “Liberty to Those Who Dare Demand It,” “Put Your Trast im God, but Kep_ ‘Youg Powder Dry.” The march of the procession was terminated on reach- ‘tng Agricultural Ha'l, Here was held sa immense meet fing, about 30,000 persons being present.

The majority relused to accept this statement; they tired of hearing days named for the unfurling of tho Fenian etand- ard and plans arranged without the least resuit, But many of the active promoters of the organization wore satigded and continued to hope. The tidings that tho Chie!

His plausibie denunciations of deceit in others, and the bit of romance connected with hw escape from prison auc the country, gained for him the. oo-operation of an impressionable poopie, Many iu the respectable ranks of society who denounced the wildness of Slephons’ plans thoazht him earnest and trac, Ali arenow disappointed, and unite 4a denouncing him, Phe Irish dupes at bom» should command more sympathy than even their frien ls who supplied the Fenian exchequer.
