Mr. WEST, of the Strand. received last morning
the following letter from Mr. HUNT, in which lie
details the c►rcumstances of his committal to Lsu-

costcr Castle, laud Ills liberation an bill :

" Swan Inn, Walton, Llocashire,
Soirday E.:vesting.
" My MAR Sit-1 am this moment arrived Item us my
way back to Manchester.
" We were brought up fur • bearing on Friday about one
o'clock, and after having been told that, the charge of High
Trtaion was given op fur the firmest, lint set obenvfotesd,
that they should go into the charge fur • conspiracy and
sedition. Well, four sir five fellows were examined, sepa-
rately, after hearing their formic deposilioess read over to
them. Wheu on lb. it examivation, they every owe comm.
dieted not ouly each other, but their own depositious, in the
most material parts, if . there were any material points.
However, the worthy Magistrates, although vastly calmed
down since I saw them 'set, atter consulting iu a private rooms j
with Mr. Bourkier,Solieitur, fur tie Crows, Ike Proweatert
determined to bold us to tail fur a conspiracy amt 'seditious ;
Ind really i Mose sass Magistrates are to be the Gelled
Jury at Lancaster, 1 should Out be at nll surprised if they
find • true bill against us fur sheep stealing upon the wiry
same evidence, fur really it will be quite as applicable to the
one offence as the other. However, Johnson and 3loorbouse
were bailed out immediately, mid good bail was offered fur
me; bni. as I was very but with the exertion of four bouts
in the most crowded Court, I retired to change my lineo to
attend fur that purpose, hut before I bad dour this I was in-
formed by the turnkey that be was very sorry, but that there
was an order come that I must be ready to go to Lan-
carter in three minutes. 1 lad not time to lake even •
cup of tea, or get Elea. linen, before 1 was hurried dose
into Her yard, where I met my fellow-prisoners, who had
not been yet bailed, and who had bets handcuffed and
ironed, and we were crammed, some in, and others on a
coach, sod tuff we went, mewled by about thirty of the 15th
la to Dolmas, where there was • relay of thus
cavalry, why conducted us to Blackburn, from thence to
Preston, and on to Lancaster by some more hussars, all with
drawn swords, Ike. We entered the prism at half-past four
in the morning, at t night I was crammed huh, a
felon's dungeon, and was just got into my first sleep, on my
iron bedstead and straw God, when a Geolleman who haul
followed me came in • chaise mad four, to say that usty bail
bad been justified at Manchester. 1 left the Merrill &Wile,
mod slept at the lust in Lancaster.
" Ow are 5155 at Preston this day, about two o'clock, the
authorities have witnessed such& scene of enthusiasm, which
was contitmed at every place we passed; not les. than
50,000 persout have conducted us bete, haviag taken the
horses out of the roach. The accowuts of the immense
numbers collected on the road to Manchester are soda, that
1 deem it prodext, to avoid accidents, to delay my return
into that towu till to-morrow. There are 10,000 people
round the Ina, who say they, will protect mean nighte—lo

" Sta.--Where, in the name of wonder, will three things
end? Mr. Hunt, who, an Feiday treeing, was escorted
through this town by a troop of cavalry ow his way to Lae-
c•stcr Castle, .here it was hoped his restless spirit would
hare been etiofinell, if tint altar d, fur a time at least, is
again returned and actually arrived here. Oa his remelting
the Bridge Inn he alighted; but things being there its a
deraeged stale, be could nut steel with suitable accom-
modation.
" On his returning to Isis cgs riage the street wu crowded
as tar ss the eye could reach, and on his determining to
proceed to the Swan tun, the populace resolved to take the
horses front the carriage, anal draw him themselves to the
mid ban. On his arriving there he stepped sal of the car-
riage; a way was instantly made fur him through the crowd to
the said inn, which he entered He went into as •pper
room, sad after resting himself for a few minutes, the
crowd continuing rapidly to increaser, so as to com-
pletely blue k up the street, atingle spacious, it wis
deemed advisable fair him to speak to them, which he
did from the window. lie informed them that through the
good offices of the Magistrates at Manchester, he had a ride
io the county town—had had a peep into the Castle at
Lancaster, where he had met with stay thing but kind treat-
; sweet—sod bail having been rent after him, which had
ir-
deed been offered before he left Manchester, be was
thus fair on his way to Manchester again. After thanking
awns for their kind attention, and requesting than, to dig-
ress as wateably anal speedily as posoble, he Intl them
gond sight. This speeds was frequently interrupted by
shoats of applause."

The latest account f Alanchester is contained
iu the following letter, received last slight :

"To detail the reports that are in circulation
here, would more than fin an ordinary volume.
therefore, to place implicit reliance im what may lw
heard, might be laid down as en error in judgment 't
lowitrer, it iv confidently weird that HUNT arrived
here this morning from Bolton ; it is also in ciretw •
lotion that his friends had obtained a writ of Habeas
Corpus, and that he had immediately departed lot
London. Whether the latter he correct or not. 1
cannot sey, us I have not )et had en opportunity
of ascertaining. As all is mere report, it is evi-
dent that we are no longer in danger, cruise-
quei.tly that tranquillity continues to prevail
amongst us. I am sorry to say that at the lag
horticultural meeting held here, the whole stork of
that tact-Bent flower, called Mugixterint torarienre,
was disposed of, es it is most effiac for public
disorder. The crimson-spoved nepoty has been
substituted fur it, a flower that is very inferio►
is
scent and beauty. It is understood that we are
speedily to liffsratilied with a singular rare. The
match is betwixt ten celebrated IVorvhips, for a
coronet, to take place no the London road. The
imettiel, have been some time in trai ii 4tg on the road
between this place and Lancaster. It is tl glut
the match will be determined on the next Levee
du,. The odds tun very high."
