motley assemblage prised on, eontentine tLem saves %vitt) hisses and groans for the Lord Mayor, and enthusiastic cheers for their leader. The doors of the Bank were closed during the day, with the exception of the grtud door in Threadneedle street; and the guard. cvhi , l) is usually dismissed in the morning, tios ordered to return doubled at One o'clock. The City Light Ifirse, the Surrey Yeomanry, and the Artillery Company, were all in readiness. Giltspitr-street Contrite:l- was filled with the Staff of the London Inc cavalcade now took their way towards St. Paul's, which they reachrd at half- past six, and then advancing down Ludgate-hill, soon entered Fleet-street. As they'passed Mr. Carlile's shop of sedition and blasphemy, the cheers were loud and continued. The end of every street swarmed with crowds of the curious, from whom shouts ofep planse frequently came with an astounding din. On passing through Temple liar they agitin cheered, and on coming to the Crown and Anchor Tavern the same expression of feeling watt(!vinced. The scene now, as it appeared from the . house tops, was truly ludicrous ; night bad began to draw its sable mantle o'er the earth, and it was with difficulty that the flags could be distinguish . - ed. The lantlan, in which Hunt (envious of his friends taking any share of his honours} was placed by himself, having drawn up to the entrance of the Crown and Anchor Tavern, be proceeded to address tht assemblage, and having called on them to express their feelings, set the pattern by giving " three times three," which was joined in by !he assembled. multitude. Having bowed with his usual grace, he retired, and the crowd began to disperse. ,A cart broke down in St.. Clement's Citircb-yard, but happily was not attended with • any particular injuly. addition to the laughable ceremonies that took place on the road, of the " cork-shies," were the exhibition at the Cock, at Holloway, of an red whittle, tiiatle fast . to a broom, and also of a red curtain (taken from the tap-root:) at the Oil Swan, with tile words " Hunt for aver" chalked on it. THE DINNER AT THE CROWN AND ANCHOR. Front the various impediments throNn in the "oxy Of the Procession, it was near eight o'chick befiire it %y ds 'anumniced At the Crowu and Anchor Tavern that 11.1 r HUNT' mid arrived. Dr, WikTsos addlicssed the M e :.ting, and said, that in con,equence of the invit,,:ion to Sir C. Wolseley not having reached Ittltl in time, he had Nci:ll regret to state, that the Hon. Baronet could not plesnle over that ttheting. Thus circum stanced, he begged to propose a nian who had bero known as a friend to the people for upwards of .20 years—who had been known to Mr. Hunt for a very considerable time, and who was a man of extremely great. eloquence, shotild take the Chair—he [mans Mr. Gale Jones. The proposition was received with applause, an , GALII JoNes was elected to the Chair. WATsoN, shortly afr er this decision had been com;! to, presented himself again, and star ed it to have been remarked to him, that as the Hon. Baronet invited to ChAir could not at tcttd, the Gentleman invited %yak tutu onght to have been called upon to preside. He had . tht.lootr.-! to call ',non the Meetint: to suspend the tote ihey had previously come to, and when Bunt .bauviv.d in the room, he and the Gentlemen with hirn could arrange that matter as they should thiolv fit. long pause followed, which completely. ex iiso,ted pa , iitice of the company, and a loud I.:ooeking on the tables and on the floor, accorn pitied with calls for the Chairinan, was the con s...-trice, 'l' was not till about half-past eight C , at Mr, dont entered the apartment, - attended by those had acted the Most prOminent part in the prwession. was received with loud acc,atni . ions, and proceeded forthwith to take the cloth being removed, and " Rule lkitan nia," crd " Ca Ica" haviUg been sang, 11uN ro,e upon the table to address the t.'o2"„ but it was some time before the anticipa ►~~~y of the assembly allowed him to pro ceed.

He felt it his (July, to ac count f-r übsence of his Honourable and Worthy Urieod Str Charles Wolseley. He was iot iced to extend the Meeting ; but the invitation did not reach him in time for the purpose. He (1.) had left lflin the night before he quitted Alancliester, in consultation with his worthy frtends and solicitors, Mr. Harmer and Mr. Pear son ; but in consequence of the statements which appeared in the London Prints, that the friends of Hewn' ) were squabbling amongst themselves, and that something like a disturbance was ex pected to be produced by the business of this day, he thought it advisable not to come to to No. A* he should have an opportunity of uridressiti l 4 , he company at length, he should for the present reserve what he had to say upon other points.- But he requested leave to say to them now, once for all, that it was hiv most earuest wish they should allow a patient hearing to any man and every man who should rise, to address - them this evening, however opposite It s seutiffients might be to their , own, upon the sneers before tliem. Every man here who paid his money hti r his ticket, sod wished to delive'r his sentiments; WaT entitled to a fair- and it»plr bearing, and the very moment that Any man was interrupted, and not allowed to he fairly hemd, (flow) should beg leave .to quit the rusts.—(Loint and general applanse.)—They• would Lear n o tch in the course-of • this evening on tic subj-et of the late sanguinely p.ildinhttinsit pro cee.t;ligs at :`4anclieszer.

He had heard g'..ntletnen call for music, and two airs had 'beert heard; but he hoped gentlemeu would have consideration for the band, who had accompanied, them from Hampstead, and had been a good deal fatigned in the course of the day. Another reason why Gentlemen ought not to call for music too frequently was, it should not take up the time of the evening, and prevent Gentlemen, who were desirous, trom - deliveriog theiropinions. There twos :mother point alsti which he earnestly desired to impress upon the minds of all who heard hint. He wished to bury in oblivion all disputes and animosi ties whatever that might have heretofore arisen amongst Reformers of all classes, and he i was sure every zealous friend to the cause of Reform who addressed them, must feel the necessity of hold ing out the olive branch, and not the apple of discord. When he saw things going on as they now were, in the straight lomat d road to success, he must be an idiot indeed, if he did not think this whole affair, crowned by the business of this •day, had placed him at the very pinnacle of popu larity. His sincere wish now was to bury in ob livion all differences amongst Reformers on all sides. They must know, that - they could •do nothing without coming to the people. The people were now well informed, and would not be led by the nose by the persuasion of any man or party, and therefore every hope of success must rest upon the people. If the Assembly should now have the Police Magistrates amongst them (god he had a presentiment that there was one of t hem, Birnie, now 'Within hearing), and it, hear ing the sentiments here expressed, he did not come down amongst them and endeavour to set their opinions right by fair argument. and truth, he was tinwo:AHv <4 being a Magistrate- or lf ht came forward, he (Hunt) would answer him as far as his authority went. He should have a fair hearing. He was a Gen tleman 'anti a man of onderslanding, and capable of setting them right. Vey asked only for in formation, rind to be set right if they were wrong. But until !Ley were set right by fair argument and true principle, there was no force; that could divert them from their objects. He was sure lie had said quite enough this point at present ; whoever should speak different sentiments front any end of the room, sh,uild be fairly heard. .He believed all, or most of the Gentlemen present, Arcre Universal Sniff age Men; but every man. there had a - right to be heard, as well as be who now addressed them. He concluded by proposing a toast, which was received and drank with en thusiasm—three tim's hree " The oily soiirce of all legitimate power—the People." The music again struck up See ,the conquering Hero comes. Hunt then cave as a toast— " Universal Suffrage and Annual Parliaments, the uni versal right of every Briton."—Drank with three times three awl continued applause. The music again stauck up the French revoln tiouary air of Ca Ira, which was hailed with en thusi.sm. The next toast proposed Hunt was— " Ti t lie immortal memory of the Reformers, men, women, and children, who were massacred at Manchester."-=Drank standing, in solemn,silence. BA this melancholy pause was relieved from the orchestra by the patriot Caledonian air, Scols who hue wi' Wallace bled.—(New thunders of app!ause.) The next toast proposed by Hunt was— " May arms be taken front those that abuse them, tend given to those who have the courage to use them." Three times three.—Drank with bursts of applause. The music now struck up, with true Gallic spirit, the celebrated French revolutionary air, The Marsellois Hymn, which was received with enthusiiistn. Mr. GAr.E JONES, in rising to give the health of Mr. Hunt, complimented him as having suc cessively combated the treble monster--Ministe rial, Magisterial, and Military Despotism. He exulted in the spectacle which had been witnessed that day, and saw ill it a retutatiOn of all that had been said in the Newspapers about the people being opposed to Mr. Hunt, for,who, he would ask, were those who had welcomed bins this day his return, if they were not the people ? He conde:nett Ministers, and accused them of hav ing at last thrown off the mask, and now, in stead of controuling the people by the 11NaliS of corruption, they - had attempted to place them under a military despotism. He,eulogized the presence of mind and the forbearance displayed by Mr. Hunt ; but contended, that if, instead of suffering himself to be . arrested as he did, he had drawn out a pistol and shot the Officer through the heart who had approached him for that purpose, he would have been completely justified. —(Cries of Yes, yes ; and applause.)--He vin dicated the courage of the Reformers from the as- persons sneeringly thrown on them, and was - convi9ced that fi ft y half-starved mechanics, it armed, would have routed double the. number of their enemies. It was thcause they were unarmed that they were attacked, for cowards were gene . rally cruel. In the person of Mr. Hunt the con- stitntion and laws of England were violated; and it was not because the Reforuterscould not lay their hands on their hearts and say thry were justified in having recourse to arms, that they Lad A- stained from doing so, but it was 'because they had humanity, and anxious to avoid a civil war, were desirous to avOid the eflusiou of blood which must follow the adoption of such a course.— There was, hawever, no going back—Minis ters had drawn the sword on the people, and the latter must, in some way . or other, stand on the defensive. He reminded the Meeting of the charges which had been preferred against Mr. Hunt ; appealed to them it they were not all refuted by his recent conduct ; which conduct surpassed any that he had read of in ancient or modern hist(); y. His triumphant entry that day he compared to that of Alexatokr, be liaving, ? like Aley:mder; coliqweleAl all Inc enemies. That he. hBd f•01. 1 0rr,•4 the'Uoveroment was in Iris (TllllOll cat intpoitanee ; any body Could conquer them ; but he bad Brined a more glorious triumph, fur he bad conquered hinvielf. He concluded by , proposing the health of H. Hunt, Esq. the sincere and consistent Advocate of Radical Reform, the Friend of Humanity, and the Defender of the .People's Rights against Ministerial, Magisterial, and Military Despotism." . The toast having been drank with three times three, Mr. HUNT vindicated his conduct. Where he had been wrong, the error was of the head, but not of the • heart. He. described the difficulties with which he had hail to contend, and the perse cutions to which he had been exposed in the course of his political career, and charged those who were considered the' friends of the people with Navin; basely represented him to be a Govern- ment spy when he could not agree with them. He justified his conduct in attending Reform Meet ings, called in various parts of the country. He recapitulated the incidents connected with his can duct which had preceded the late Manchester Meeting, which lie thought must have consisted , of 150,000 persons, among which were not fewer than 20,000 women and children. He described the yeomanry to have put their horses in disorder even by drawing their swords, and they subse quently advanced, cutting their way to the hust ings, hacking in the most cowardly manner (he had really seen sonie of them with their eyes shut, striking at random), all that opposed then). They , had killed two or three, and wounded from 50 to 100, before they got to the hustingi. He bad in % iced the people to come vcithout arms of any sort. Perhaps in this he might be wrong. He never would act so again. He would not tell them to rake a. finger, hut he would not desire_ them o come (warmed wlkere they were liable to be cut to pieces. It might have been instilled , into 140 people that he had called them toget.her at Manchester that they might be so attneked.— They might have been made to believe this, and 'they might have torn him to pieces for acting such a part. But so far from this, thouKh some of the vile press had thrown out such. an insin oat ion, he, on his ret urn from incarceration, had met with the same welcome in all parts of the country which he 'hail experienced this - day in London. He then described the harsh 'treatment he had received at Manchester. A Man of the name of Nadi') there, is considered by the people , a most inhuman monster, ht,t he was kind maim mane when compared with the 'cowardly Yen 111.they. One fellow or the• name of • Whit tinghain had rode near him with a cocked pistol, xvhich he presented at him while in the care of Nadin. That person would have made his cape,'had not he (Mr. Hunt) held him (Mr.NOttiti) in custody, and kept him between loniselt and Whittingham, so that the Ltt - er could not fire at him without hitting Nadin. He then detailed •the violences of the. Yeomanry Cavalry, and after wards the improper conduct of the Special Con stables, from _whom he . bad received forty, fifty, or sixty blows. One officer, whom be desig nated " scoundrel, coward, and villain," had en voured with a stick to beat his brains•out, Out. of his•humane friends, to further this design, had taken off his (Hunt's) hat, that be might receive the meditated blow ; but - still retaining his pre sence of mind, he judged when the blow would come, turned his bead aside, and received the stick on his shoulder, Every man of the Special Constables through whom he 'had to pass VIA dealt him a blow, and he at lost could not heir) saying, " You cowards, you won't murder a man' in the dark, will you ?" For this he had been charged with cowardice in some of the newspapers. The treatment he received while in confinement, which has already transpired, he next minutely described, and also the case of the woman, who, after being confined -nine days, was discharged. He praised Sir C. %Volseley as " a friend indeed," because he was " a friend in need." The circum. • stances attending his being sent to Lancaster Castle, and his release from the dungeon into• which he was thrown on his arrival there, having been detailed, he next went over the cases stated in Mr. Pearson's letter to have been sent heftire.a , Grand Jury, and in particular noticed a.boyofllke Dank'. of Leele, who had preferred ..# hill which had been thrown out. This boy was laughed at, and told that he had been throwing itottei or Lap loping, or something of that sort. [The boy, who had received - rt wound - on . till 3 bead, was here exhibited on the table:' ap. • peered to be completely recovered] HUNT went on to .state, that it was useless to prefer more Bills, after the Grand Jury hid thrown out those to which he had particularly adverted. He had refused to be bailed himself unless bail were found fur all his fellow pi isoners This was done. - In a few days more bail was offered than was wanted ; and such was the spirit manifested at Preston, that in some instances persons offered 51. to be allowed to become bail for the poorest of the prisoners.—(Applause.) — For tl►e treatment he had received new appeals would be made to the laws, tor it could be proved that a bloody conspiracy had heettiortned to destroy him. The parties had not only pre meditated his destruction, but they had boasted of it, and regretted that their design had not been carried into effect. Their plan was to throw him in among the Yeomanry, and then call out " an esctipe," that they might cut him to pieces ; but through his own presence of mind, and the mercy of the All-►vise Disposer of events, he had escaped the snare. He still professed the regard he had always fel; for the people. The poor ,man who would work ought to be able to maintain him self and family with comfort', and lay.by a trifle for a rainy day. For this he had ever contend ed, and for this he would still contend; and in the cause of the People be would ever be ready to risk his life.—(Applause.)—One other case of hardship he begged to mention. A poor man had both his shoulders dislocated, • and forced out of their sockets, one arm was broken, and he had received cuts across his hand and his forehead. Taken to the Infirmary, a Surgeon was about to dress his wounds, when another entered, and ac- costed the patient with—" 1-la, ha ! you have been to the meeting 1 see ; 1 think you ,will know bet ter than to go to any more such meetings." " After what 1 have seen to-day," the man replied, " 1 am of opinion that Reform is more accessary than ever." " Oh ! Irm.rascal, you do, do you you shan't stay Iltre." The kilin was then directly turned out of his bed, his clothes forced, on, and he dismissed without telief, to drag his dislocated limbs seven miles to his home. This beknew to be true, from the testimony of the man himself/ and from that of the Surgeon who bad subsea quentl Y attended him. Lie then read a letter, announcing the arrest of " 'Vroe's give, his SOD' and apprentice," for selling The Manchester 01e, server, and describing it to be an instance of 'Or pression that could not be paralleled by any tiling that had occurred even in the reign of 'CbarleA OA, First. Mr. Hunt concluded by thanking meeting for the patient attention with which had been honoured." Three cheers were given in hovour of EhiA speech. The health of Mr. Moorhouse was drank with three times' three, and that Gentleman returned' thanks. Mr. HAREISOti proposed-the health of Mr. .Gplo Jones, which was drank with three times three- Mr. GALE JONES returned thanks in a speed / of considerable length. Several other speeches were addressed to the Meeting by Mr. Waddington, Dr. Watson, a o c t . other individuals, some of which were much up' plauded. At about half -past 12 Mr. Hunt bid Ow company good night, and retired amidst the clamations of the Meeting. LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD THIS WEEK.
