WAKEFIELD REFORM MEETING.

Matt view, Ana. 30 —This day's Meeting
has pa.sed off very quietly, and, su lar as I I►aye
been able to learn, without the slightest accident
of any kind. Much mischief was appreliensled
front this Meeting. Indeed it is impo.sihle tole.
scribe the uneasiness and alarm which the prospect
of it had excited, throughout this district ; an ad-
ditional 'Troop Dragoons had been ortlsred to
the spot, and the.two Troops stationed in Leeds
had remained nil day in matching order, ready, to
set off at a moment', notice, had their services
been required, but happily there was not the least
occasion for them►. The assemblage, which was
immense, all retired, after the business was end-
ed, with the utmost order and quietness.

HUNT AT MANCHESTER.
[PtIRIHER PARTICULARS.]
A friend at LitsCalter has applise4ll44s,lbat Ilont
and Iris fellow Reformers arrived ar the Castle
about five o'clock on S itorday morning. in the
course of the flay, two individuals (Messrs. Chap-
man and Grundy), who had been received as bail
for Hunt and Knight, at our New Bailey, and
ceirt led from thence an order for their liberation.
rea,hed the county town ; and about half-past
nine in the evening they were at large. At 10
o'clock next day, they and a third perion set out
from the King's At ms Inn, into chaise, on their
return to Manchester, and passed the night at
Bolton. Bette his departure, Hunt visited the
Castle, to bid his companions farewell, and was
cheered by the debtors, as lie pasted through their
yard. On the following morn'wg (Tuesday) they
proceeded towards this town, drawn a distance of
more than three miles by both men and women ;
and beti,veen twelve and one they made another
gland entre through the centre of the town, in
the folloiving order :—First, Chapman, on horse-
back ; then Hunt and Knight, in a chaise, drawn
by the populace; next came a gig, which held Sir
,C. Woken!), and John3on, and to which were also
eked a proper complement of lininan'tteeds ; fi-
lially, a gig with a person in it unknown to us,
and the liorws which had heels superieded by the
itco-legged volunteers. They were attended by a
great crowd of their !imble admirers, who, whilst
they halted fors a short time oppolite die,Exehange,
loudly cheered their darling Orisi:4s'.. Mint rose,
and thrusting his head and wilite hat, out of the
chaise, whirled it round several limes, in 'narked
exaltation, as he uniformly does• when he passes
by that edifice. We believe Hunt, sojourns with
his friend Johnson, at his chateau,. in Smedley-
lane. Rumour, with her (busy tongue, hiors at
another Meetitig its the course of a fortnight.—
(Manchester Mercury.)
On Sunday, we understand, Hutt and Knight
set out on their return to Mitieb•zster, stopping
at the Swan Inn, at Bolton, its order to afford
the Political Tinker an opportunity to make his
entre into Manchester the next day, with the pa-
rade and disorder which he courts, in order to
give fictitious eclat to Isis ephemeral popularity
(tor such it is easy to prognosticate it will prove)
among the idle, the dissolute, and the misled.—
Yesterday (Moorlay) morning, nbotit nine o'clock,
a notice is as displayed at the door of The Observer
Office, in Nlarket-street, to invite the rabble to
Meet and pry due honour to their Autocrat, who,
they seers informed, would make his public re•
entry into to‘vo about 12 o'clock. In aid of the
processi,n, it is well ki.oan, messengers were
sent off in all directions to the neighbouring vii-
lag, as %tell to the suburbs of this town, in
(oder to eon, et a crowd to giace his return.—
Unfortunately for the splendour of tie 4,44,
about twe,ve o'clock, as it the elements had
cOll plied againat the lieforinvili, a eery 'beat y
slit)v%cr vii rain tell ar.tl du:llama tlitne vlhusa

zeal I'lll AI-ell them to m,rt Ilse Orator. A'
half-past twelve o'clock thr procession—if Inch
it can be scnilsed, whit It had route through Pen-
dleton find Salford, by the New Bailey Prison,
tlrroisgis Bridge street, 13,atisgate, and St. Ma-
ry's•gate—stopprd, by way of insult, at the front
of the Exchatte,e. It consisted of a rabble
of from two to 3000 men, women, and
led on by Mr. Chapman, on liorsebac4c. In the
midst of the dripping crowd came a posi-chaise*,
dragged along by a party of ItetormeTs, who had
taken Out the horses. It contnins.d rite tondern
Jerk Cade, Knight, and istiotiirr Reformer, whose
name we (Ii t not hear. This carriage was follow-
ed by a gig!, in which sat J01111*(111 and another
person On arrising at the Exchange, Hunt
!hrit,ght it was higli'tinie his disciples should slits's,
the town a specimen of lii• poonlarity be, there-
fore, thrust himself omit of the chaise, and him-
self began three cheers, in whirl', on recrivine
the signal, he was joined by Isis companions ;
wit .:s, the Gentlemen who were in the Exchanee,
crowded to the door to notify their opinion of him
by hisses, Although he has been called, tend that
not unaptly, the most impudent num living, lie
seemed to feel ashamed of the company by which
lie was surrounded. and soon made the Signal for
proceeding ; he and his admirers taking their way
through the Alatket-ttiaee, viii Millgate, and
.flanging-ditch, by Shude-bill, whete (at John-
son's shop/ Host again made the signal fot a
little applause, by beginning to cheer himself.—
•Afterwaids, see tioderstnntl, he and his friends
proceeded on their way to Nit. Johnson's; house,
in Smedley-lane, where, we understand, he meant
to pHs, the Manchester Herald.)
* It appears that some pains had been taken in Manches-
ter to hire a My-vitt:lr, which was intended to have met the
('neat Man, that he might make his entrance more splendid ;
hit the coach owners were inexurahle in their refusal to ac-
enniniodate him, and be was therefore obliged to come for-
ward in the post-chaise.
