A Gentleman was now seen standing on one of
the scaffolds immediately opt' site the Ilustings,'witil
his hat in his hand, and cons dng the attention of the
multitude. Some were for hearing him, others were
for pulling him down. Amidst this clamour, he.
spoke at some length. He said be had lived for a ling
thee in the neighbourhood of Mr.. Hunt, and that be
had repeatedly heard him advocate a revolution. He.
heard him say there would soon be a revolution, and
that those who could gain possession of estates should
keep them. At another time he heard him, with his
arm erect, and in the most vehement-maneer, exclaim,
66 He wished to God the moment of revolution had
arrived 1"-[Some clods were here thrown up at
the speaker, but the effect was triiiing.]—A. dread-1
fel uproar now ensiled, in which the epithet coward'
was applied to Mr. Hunt, front all directions, ant`
his friends were equally etertive, although islet;
fedi'', in answering tke charge. A young inan,
genteelly dressed, repeatedly held up his fist at
Mr. Haat, and exclaimed, yea cowardly
scoundrel do you remember Waterloo-place: you
pointed, me oat to yoer gang, and I was nearly torn
to plece&. I'll remember you when the Eleetine is
over, and will pay you in your own coin." Mr. Hunt
at length, irritated by these repeated threats, bec-
koned to his brotber,who is deaf and dumb, and a ce-
lebrated bruiser, to jump down and avenge his cause.
The brother did jump down, bet was prevented by
Mr. Lee, the High Chnstantable, from obeying the
directions he bad received. Several white feathers
were nest handed forward--some filed on the ends
of sticks, others elevated in pieces of paper
—ait. of which were pushed towards Mr. Hunt, who,
however,, stood his ground, although evidently
meth affected. He remonstrated with Mr. Lee, the
High Constable, for permitting these iasults ; but
Mr.. Isle said it was impossible to prevent them.—At
length Mr. Hunt turned towards the crowd and said,
that as be was interropted, assaulted, and prevepted
from addressing them, be would stare for that day.
He then stepped back, amidst thunders of dispproba-,
don, and a very partial degree of applause ; nothing
could exceed the scene of confusion which took plate
after his retreat.
Mr. WISHART said, he again presented himself oft
behalf of Sir ssmuel Hominy, to thank them for
perseverance with which they still ijept him so
upon the Poll. He knew the citizens of Westiriin4m
stir were incapable of being cajoled by courtiers, and
he knew they would go on to a triumphant end.—
They would neither look to the right hand nor to t
left, but press forward with energy. till they had sea
seeded in placing those two brilliant luminaries, Sir
Francis Burdett and Sir Samuel Romillylas their Rap:
presentative& in the House of Commons. He looked-
forward to Monday as an auspicious (ley, when the
enemies of Reform would be completely overwhelmed.
Mr. GALS JONES, after some ineffectual attempts,
was beard in parts of a very long address to the Meet-
ing. He called their attention to what 'had not es.
coped it—the personal quarrel that had taken place
between Mr. Hunt and Mr. Cleary (the crowd hooted
at the speaker upon finding that his object was to
attempt a justification of Mr. Hanes conduct).
At the conclusion of Mr. Jones's speech, Mr. El-
.liott, who, it will be recollected, was Chairman at '
Mr. Hunt's nomination .and who has been most zeal-
ous in his cause, desired to state unequivocally, that,
however anxious he might be for the cause of Re-
' form, his respect for himself as an Englishman,
' would no longer permit him to attach hinuself to a
person who, in his estimation, had forfeited all claims
to gentlemanly support and to rational confidence.
Mr. Hunt then retired from the Hustings, and was
drawn by some of the populace to his lodgings,
amidst load cheers and some hiss's,.
