A party, with flags and' 1111 l sic, met the orator, Min took his horses from the carriage. A little before 12 o'clock, the reptsblioan procession come down Market Strect ; it consisted of three mew, bearing flags with inscriptions. The first, we understand, was the property of the "Man from Bristol;' it was red, wish geld letters; on one aisle the words '' Hunt and Lille, Is," and on the other side " Unit resat Suffrage."

At fern o'clock the differentinetiests which had been meth were ail disposed ef, and Mister Hunt coacluded the "la hour of Ms lungs" by hoping he should never forget the irloricr of the nay. party then proceeded to the ditmet to whirl' Mister Hunt was invited, and to which he way drawn t. a frt. poor deluded people, the precession passing from the lira tfold in the saute order in a hick it Mlle ) again stopping at !bent. change door, where the scene acted in the meriting was re voted ; the titan evidently wishing to insult a class of se' iety far ranking above that by which he was surtosncied, amongst which not one respectable person could be meg hized.
