Pursuant to previous notification, Mr. Hunt yes-
terday made his public entry into the metropolis, ac-
companied by a vast concourse of persons. Soon
after eleven o'clock, some deputations from the
Trades' Society, displaying their banners, took up
their stations opposite the Painted Red Lion public-
house, on Islington-green ; and as the hour of twelve
approached, the number of individuals assembled
was very great. A few minutes after twelve o'clock,
:qr. Hunt arrived in a post-chaise, and was loudly
cheered by the multitude, who now, we should sup-
pose, amounted to between 8,000 and 10,000 per-
sons. Mr. Hunt, who wore in the manner of a
scarf, a riband of the Preston colour, pink, with
some difficulty made his way into the public-house.
He remained within for a considerable time, until
some symptoms of impatience were displayed by
the people. At length, at twenty minutes before
one, he made his appearance on the balcony of the
Paiated Red Lion, and was received with reiterated
buzzas. He was about to address the assembly un-
covered, when he was loudly called on to resume his
hat (it was then raining), which be immediately did.
Mr. HUNT then proceeded to say, that good men
were scarce, and good Members of Parliament, he
believed, still scarcer.—(Laughter.)—He therefore
would take care of himself for the cake of the in-
terests of those whom he was addressing.—( Cheers.)
How often had it been said to him by different per-
sons, " Ah ! Mr. Hunt, I believe you are honest,
zealous, and wish well to the people of England ;
but what can one man do in the House of Com-
mons?" This was the language of corrupt knaves,
who wanted to keep him out of the House of Com•
tons.—(Cheers.)—But the men of Preston said—
" We will try what one man can do in the House of
Commons—(Cheers)—and if he had the support
of the people of England, though he knew that it
would be a most Herculean task, yet he would try
what one man could do in that corrupt House. He
had said a thousand times, " Send me to the House of
Commons and I will act differently from every other
man who has preceded me." He was now,he was happy
to say, in the situation which he believed would in-
duce him to go there—(Laughter)—and though he
should have the labour of a dray-horse to perform,
vet he would continue to be the same MHO as he
was before he was placed in that House—(Cheers)
—arid there was not a sentiment which he had
tittered out of doors that he would not repeat within
the walls of Parliament.—(Cheers.) It was not
for him to boast ; but he would endeavour to pursue
a different course from that of any man who had ap-
peared in his time in the House of Commons.—
(Cheers.) He would exert his best powers to secure
for the people of England that of which they bad been
for so many years robbed.—(Tremendous cheering.)
For many, many years they had been literally robbed
of two-thirds of their property. It had been torn
from the industrious and laborious, and squandered
on an idle and unworthy aristocracy.—(Cheers.) lie
would at least make the attempt to have justice done
to the people—not by moving for any futile inquiry
—not by calling for any useless committee—not by
acting with any sham opposition ; no, but he would
at once move for the repeal of that accursed law de-
nominated the Corn Bill—(Cheers)—that cruel
measure which took from every man one-third, if
riot one-half, of every loaf that he bought.—(Cheers.)
It was taken out of the toil, and sweat, and labour,
and even out of the heart's-blood of the poor, and
bestowed on the wealthy aristocracy.—(Shame,
shame.) He knew the place that he was going to;
he knew what he might expect when he got there.
He anticipated great opposition. What, then, did
his pulse beat the quicker on that account ?
(Cheers.) . No. He knew how to look honest
men in the face, and he also knew how to look
thieves in the face.—(Cheers and laughter.) It
was not for him, at that time of day, to boast or
promise. All he would say was, that if he were not
supported by the people of England, every effort he
made in the House of Commons would fall power-
less on the floor of that House; but if he were pro-
perly supported, be knew that he had strength and
resolution enough to cause the voice of the people
to be heard within the walls of Parliament.—
(Cheers.) He now wished to throw out a word of
advice to the indiscreet and incautious. When
large numbers of people assembled together,—whe-
ther on account of a Lord Mayor's Feast—(Laugh-
ter)—or from curiosity, or for the furtherance of a
public purpose,—whenever there were large multi-
tudes assembled, a great number of dexterous pick-
pockets were sure to assemble also.—(Laughter.)
They had :Already exercised their dexterity upon
some of his friends.—(Laughter.) Therefore he
would say to the people, " Take care of your
money ; arid on every occasion, in a crowd, when
you meet some very officious friend, who is over-
anxious to extricate you from difficulties, if you are
in any, seize him, and hold him fast"—(Laughter)
—because it was quite clear, that none of these
dexterous gentlemen would endeavour to make indi-
viduals keep up their hands without meaning to
pick their pockets.--(Laughter.) As they would
pass this day through the cities of London and
Westminster, and make their bow to the House of
Commons, he thought it would not be fair to these
waiting to accompany him, if they were detained
longer ; arid as he would have to fight many a hard
battle on their account, he would not waste his
health or strength in a s-ain effort to state to the
individuals assembled what he intended to do. He
then proposed nine :cheers to the honest rasu of
Preston, which were given with great vigour and
vehemence.

Mr. MITCHELL thanked, Che meeting from the
bottom of his soul, for the kind and generous man-
ner in which they had testified their approbation of
the cond:lct of the brave men of Preston.

Mr. Myron:Lt. then proposed three times three
cheers for Mr. Flout, which was immediately ac-
ceded to, amidst deafening shouts.
The procession to town then went off. '4ll the
following order :
Horsemen to clear t!,;,;.. way.
Two l,lvaies.

The cortege proceeded along the City-road,

hill, Cheapside, St: Paul's,Ludgaterl, -tleet-street,
Strand, Charing-cross. I?:.rliament-street, across
Westminster-bridge, to Mr. Hunt's residence, Stain-.
ford-street, iilaekiriars-road, which it reached 41:,0ut
four o'clock. Many thousand peoy.l ziowded the
streets.

Mr. HUNT, niter a short pause, appeared at one
of his windows, and proceeded to address the people.
He thanked them most kindly for the manner in
which they had thus accompanied him ;4;.agh the
cities of London and West minst.;.:. One thing had
this day been proved; viiieh ought to go out to the
world—namely, that 'the Duke of Wellington the
bravest of 'the brave, had been afraid tc\ go through
the city, but he (Mr. Hunt) was -410.--7(Laughter.),
—There was this difference, however, between
his visit and the intended visit of the King and the
Duke of Wellington,—that in the latter case the
Corporation of London had agreed to spend 10,0001.
of the poor citizens' money, to give these great
people a guttle and a guzzle.—(Laughter.)—He,

dared to say that the " paperphanalia" of that feast
would not cost less.—(Here there was a cry of
" police.")—What is the matter ? asked Mr. Hunt.
—(Some of the crowd called out that a Chef wait
taken.)—A thief, continued he, now that you have
got hold of one who is imitating Government, take
care of him.—(Laughter.)—Do you take care of the
little pickpockets, and I'll look after the great ones.
—(Laughter.)—He went on to observe, that the
Duke of Wellington refrained from going into the
city for fear of some disturbance. Nowt', they had
that day proceeded through the whole city without
the assistance of the military, or the police, and
yet not a single accident had occurred. If, how-
ever, the Duke had attempted to. go through, there
would perhaps have been a disturbance. It was ten
ro one but that some lives would have been lost.
Three times had he been publicly conducted through
the metropolis.—(Loud cheers.)—An.: why was
this ? Because he stood alone; because he acted
on his own honest views, and would not be guided
by any other man.—(Cheers.)— On what occasions
was this honour conferred on him ? The first time
teas, when he came from Manchester, after the
bloody murders of St. Peter's-field—(Cheers)—
because he had escaped from the blood-thirsty.—
(Cheers.)—For the part he took there he was ser-
tenced to two years and a half imvisonmenr it
llchester gaol.—(Shame, shame.)— When his im-
prisonment had expired, the brave sariyera ate! the
people of the metropolis came out to meet him, lie-
cause they felt that he was a peisecuted man on
account of his anxious desire to forward their ime-
rests.—(Cheers.)—And the people now again con-
ducted him into town, because since he had been
elected a Member of Parliament, he had looked into
himself, and found that he was just the seine un-
flinching, uncompromising man as he had showed
himself to be, during a tit enty-tive years' struggle
it the cause of the people.—(Cheers.)—He would
maintain, that for the last fifteen or sixteen yea: e,
the laws made by the House were intended to take
from the pockets of the industrious poor, in order
to swell the hoards of the unproductive rich. lie
again adverted to the corn-laws, which he described
as reducing millions to poverty, and declared his
firm intention of calling for a repeal of those in-
famous laws.—(Cheers.)—He did not know airy
Englishman who would second dust proposition—
but he believed he could find an Irishman who would
do so.—(Chews.)—He should be glad to know
what the newspaper press of the metropolis was
about when this great struggle was going on at
Preston ? It was perfectly silent on the subject.
There were two papers printed at Preston, whist.
even sent for, h second and third editions, relative.
to the election,—but these were not quoted in
London. Mr. Alexander Baring, the stock-job-
tier, had gratuitously advertised his blacking in
the House of Commons ; but if he attempted to
introduce that topic when they were face to
face, he would make him as sick of it as
ever a dog was of eating scalding broth.—(Laugh-
ter.)—He declared it to be his intention to bring
under the notice of Parliament the recent proceed-
ings under the special commission in Hampshire
and Wiltshire, where the peasantry had been driven
to outrage, and were then visited wiih the severest
penalty of the law. There was a 'Mr. Benett,
Member for Wiltshire, who kept up his rents to the
; highest pitch, and at the same time screwed down
to the lowest the wages of the labourers. They, in
a state of desperation, broke some machines. And
in what capacity did he find Mr. Benett acting ?
Why, first, as a magistrate committing the offenders
—next, as a foreman of the Grand Jury, finding true
bills against them—and, lastly, appearing to give evi-
dence against them, to hang theru.—(Shame.)—He
would talk over that subject with Mr. Benett, when
they met face to face.—(Cheers.)—There was ako
Mr. Alderson, recently made a Judge, whose conduct
deserved the severest reprobation. Here r. Hunt
stated, at some length, the ease of Looker, who was
tried before Mr. Justice Alderson, at Salisbury, and
was found guilty of writing a threatening letter,
although much evidence was given to prove that the
hand writing was not that of the prisoner. After
the conviction the son of the prisoner confessed that
he had written the letter, and that his ("ether knew
nothing about it. Mr. Hunt censured, in the mostviolent terms (which it is impossible to pul-,lish), the
conduct of the learned Judge, for not giving credit
to the evidence of the witnesses for the Clefence.
" Yes," said Mr. Hunt, " I will go down t..)
Sala -
bury, and if I find the statements there are the slime
that are in the papers, I will move an impearhrronit
against hirn."—(Cheers.)—Mr. Hunt again thanked
the asseml4 for the n:4liner in ss hich tht'y had
treated him, and having proposed a vote of thanks
to die electors of Preston, and nine cheers to the
same body, both of which were can led, he retired.
The meeting, after a few words front Mr.
Mitchell, dispersed,

AURORA BOREALIS.—About six o'clock
on Friday afternoon, the northern lights, as they are called,
appeared with unusual splendour for this climate at Cran-
ford., At first the sky was of a brownish sombre, which
,4-..iekly resolved iiself into four large luminous patches of
light, one in the N.E., auother in the S.E., S.W., and
NSW. They very much resettMe luminous clouds, but
differed in allowing the atara to hie seen through Orem. At
this time the other parta of the sky txhibiteii tlrTp tene-
