MR. H. HUNT.

The following paragraph has been sent to us
by a correspondent : we publish it as one of the
~xtraordinary signs of the age :
It has been arranged that Mr. Hunt shall enter
London this day week publicly, and his friends
have determined that a concourse of people shall be
eady to receive him about five miles from town, to
the number of 100,000. The proposition was made
in Manchester, on the plains of Peterloo, and the
most splendid preparations were ordered to be made
for the triumphal entry.
The warmest possible reception was given to the
new Member for Preston in the several places
which he visited since he was chaired. On Tues-
day he was conducted into Blackburn by 50,000
persons, numbers of whom bore flags with eompli-
mentaryinscriptions on the occasion of the election.
He was afterwards magnificently entertained trt
public dinner, to which upwards of 200 sat down,
consisting of most of the great manufacturers and
tradesmen in the town and neighbourhood. After
dinner the wives and daughters of the gentlemen
who dined were admitted, and the largest room in
the town was crowded almost to suffocation. He
&ddressed the large party thus assembled, and ex-
pressed himself most happy in seeing the ladies of
Blackburn, who had on former occasions shown
-o noble a spirit before Reform had gained its my-
lads of advocates all over the world, testifying
to the truth of the cause he had always em-
braced. He was delighted to find that the
march of the political intellect was not eonfined to
he one sex, but that the female mind was co-ope-
rating to produce those changes without which
England would be ever the laud of disappointed
virtue and successful profligacy.—(Loud cheers.)—
He hoped that all ranks and ages :of society, men,
women, and children, would join in the vehement
appeal for Reform. The existence of Reform would
be felt in the immediate diffusion of health through
the whole frame of society. Its absence was mani-
fested in the diseased condition of every -city,-town,
village, and street in the kingdom.—(Cheers.)—He
should, with all his might, oppose himself to the
enormous system so long upheld by every Minister
who ever had the power to thrust his hands into the
pockets of the people, and to strip them to the skin
if they had not wherewithal to purchase off the pe-
nalty.—(Laughter and loud cheers.)—lt was sup-
posed that the great talent, and skill, and legislatorial
tact of the House of Commons would be too much
for him. He wondered that those who enumerated
those reasons did not think of throwing in honesty
amongst the rest.—(Laughter.)—No, no, the days
were gone for empty compliments, and whoever
robbed the poor deserved and received the names of
foul pickpockets, by whatever splendour they might
be surrounded, and in whatever place they might
assemble, to conspire against " the very means of
life."—(Continued cheering.)
At Bolton, Oldham, and other places, Mr. Hunt
ryas received with great enthusiasm, and public din-
ners were given to him at each town: At Wolver-
hampton a public breakfast was got up to which he
was invited. From thence he went to Birmingham
yesterday, to dine publicly with the Council of the
Political Union. A great wish is entertained at
Bristol that the new member for Preston, who five
years ago addressed upwards of 150,000 people
there, would visit that first arena of his political ex-
, ertions.— Times.

BELL ROCK.—During the late gales it ha's
not been possible for the Tender to approtch the Bell
Rock during four weeks, or two sets of spring tides. On
being visited the other day, the light-keepers report that
large stones (which they term travellers) have been thrown
upon the rock from deep water, and that a edrisiderdble
shelf of 18 inches in thickness has been lifted oil Srnith's
Ledge." Since the completion of the light-bone in I S 10,
several such indications have been giver that this s niken
reef has at one time been an island, an 1 Oat its w .ate
still in progress.... Scotsman.
