Mr. Gat.r; JONES said he came forward to re-

Ile would beg leave to ask Mr. Ilobliouse how be
was to qualify his plan of suffrage ? Wls he to
shut out from it the great mass of persotis now
before hem ? Let him given plain answer, for lie had
et present lia 'snipped his principles in aim's, that
they were quite unintelligible. Ile looked like
a goodly tree overloaded with leaves, but posseiroirog
neither blossoms nor fruit. Like another political
Quixotte, lie took nut Ins written speeches, just, as
a pedlar 411 d his ware from his hag, end then he sent
them forth. They presented a strange medley of
scraps and patches, culled from Grub-street and St.
(;iles'o—sometinies from France, sometimes from
Ireland, and any where else that might give room for
a display. The Hots. Baronet, if be could not make
a better exhibition than this, had better withdraw
from the scene altogether. If he had not a finer
mettle to cover his protegO, he had better exhibit
him at once in his eakedneas. This was not the
time when the electors should support equivocal
characters. The gr. at principle of Reform was
rolling onwards like a massive mountain, and those
who attempted to impede its advance. would be
crushed under its weight. The Hon. Baronet had
successively discarded or neglected every man who
had placed a trust in lons. and Mr. lioblionoe
would be, in all probability, destined to be his
victim at last.
Mr. HUNT came forward and obteined a hearing
by sorting, that he meant to be short aid sweet.
He had yesterday put two or three questions to Sir
Franc.* Burdett, to neither of which did lie choose
to give an answer, and for the very brat moth,
because he could nut answer without telling that
which was untrue. Ile lied yrsterdiay listened for
three quarters of ass hour to IVest 11l i l ister's Pride
and England's Hope—he could hardly remain
?dent when he heard him with effrontery declare.
that in the course of hie life lie had never deserted
either a public or a private friend. Did the Barn-
Het remember the Hon. Mr. Illigh, who lent him
30,000/. twenty years ago; was Mr. Bligh now
Ins friend or not ? Wiis he now the friend of Mr.
Growler, who was his second when he went out to
shoot at pour Paull ? I)id he not also desert Beet
brave and unfortunate 111:10 Did hr not desert Col.
Wardle ? The Colonel said hin,elf, that it wits the
treachery and abasolorinietit of Sir F. Burdett which
compelled him to fly his country. l)id not they re-
member Mr. Jennings, who stood on the hustings
15 days for the Baronet? He had abandoned him,
and never rendered him any service. Who hail been
the Baronet's friends for the lint seven years? Major
Cartwright, Mr. Cohhett, and himself (Mr. Hunt).
lie had deserted the Major—he had deserted Mr.
Cubbett—end he (Mr. H.) had not waited for his
turn, but he had in scorn discarded the
Baronet. They all recollected the story of Blue
Beard, and how lie got rid of his wives.— [This al-
lusion seemed to tickle the fancy of the crowd, and
some eriaree allusions were made to the orator.]—
Sir Francis Burdett was a political Blue Beard--
he had killed-off in succession rill his political
friends, and if Mr. Hobliouse ever became an ho-
lleßt man, he would be killed-off au his turn also.
—(Applause.)
It being six o'clock when Mr. Haut ceased, the
crowd began immediately to disperse, after giving
several cheers.
Sir M. W. Ridley, Sir Henry Pitmen, and se-
vers! (idler Members of Parliament, were on the
I hustings ins the course of the day.
