WYNXSTAT AGRICULTURAL MEETING. On Friday last this interesting anniversary took place at Wymistay. in the midst of an extraordinary assemblage of wealth, talent. and respeembility. Among the com pany mere, the Earls of Albemarle and Medford, Lord Clive, Mr. Coke ref Norfolk). the lion. Mr. Trevor, Sir John Witsiteslev, Sir Edward Pryer Lloyd, the Dean of St. Astrid', C. W. Wynn, I:sq., John Griffith, Esq. (of Gant), artd many other distinguished gentlemen of the tisiehliono hood. After the usual exhibitions before dinner, some hands eds of persons sat Joan to a pirldiflll repast. under the hospitable roof of Sir Watkin. When the cloth was drawn, and the usual royal toasts despatched, Sir Welkin read the awards of the ',eyelet prizes to the suc cessful candidates. That fur ploughing (a very handsome sliver cup) was adjitilged to AI r.lteettley.a tenant of (Snobby Gate, Esq. near Oewestry I Judges, Mr. Lloyd, of /Woo, Mr. Div the, of Burnham, Norfolk, and another gentle man. The judges for cattle, the Earl of Albemarle, Mr. Suditiouili, and Mr. Croxon, awarded the prize, another silver sup s .i(). Mr. Arthur Jones. of Corny Cnimure, near Montgomery, a tenatir of Sir Weskit), who also received the third prize for sheep. The remaining prize for pigs was decreed to Mr. Neuritc, of Gwersylltsmill. Tire speeches which took place after dinner, sr ithone or two exceptions, were brief.y in return for several health. drank. Sir Watkins on proposing as a toast, " A good understanding between . . the agricultural and melodic tilting interest', took occasion to show the superiority of boom.' to export consumption, and consequently the in terest of the matinfactimer to promote the prosperity of iculture, which so directly increased it. In allusion to this beast, Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, on his health being drank, vs ry spiritedly observed, that there was another sued understanding, which he wished to see established at firmly as that of agriculture and manufactures—he instant one between landlord and tenant. It was the opinion of I • (Mr. Coke) that no man ought to be ex pected to risk eapiiel and labour upon a fern), a idiom a security Irr its possession : and that in conseqnence, he adopted the system of twenty-one years' leases, as a prin ciple of conuection beneficial to 'Loth parties, ensuring to the landlord spirited and successful agriculture. and se enring the tenant from the vicissitudes incidental to death, change of property, and the various con7ingencies by which his bottling might be affected. We scarcely need add, that these sentiments sere felt and applauded. Sir %Violin Williams Wynn, MUM after rose, and observed, that the plan recommended by Ilia friend, Mr. Coke, was not the mistier' of the conutry, and consequently not his practice ; but he had ventured to assert, that no tenant of his would complain of his want of liberality and atten tion to meritorious exertiost —a truth which was echoed by several around. Mr. Coke. who only advocated a gee neral principle, and who bad been invited to speak 1 1 plain, regretted trial his good friend si Id conceive that lie referred in the slightest degree to himself, whose good ness of heart, awl generosity of character, were known to all the world. The remainder of the speeches, all bough able, were not particularly marked. al r. Tutted, of Hol ley, alluded wills considerable humour to sonic fifty acres oeliollybocks (rented and planted on a speculation of ap plying some part of the external fibre to the purposes of hemp) on the estate of Edward Morgan, E.q. of The Gol den-grove, near Rliuddiati, and was sure it would inspire emulation in the ardent dof Mr. Coke. Tile show of cattle, although respectable, was not equal to that of some former sears. The company was very numerous, which created some imotiveuience. BOXING. The boxing match for 60 guineas.aside, between Richard Sharp, s coachman, and Harry Wolf, a Leicestershire man, who had milled all who opposed him in the country, took place on Thurstiay, on \Vanstcad Green, on the confiner of Bedfordshire. the pugilists having been routed from Hertford shire, by an enemy. Captain Cox, of Drayton, backed Wolf, and Sharp was backed by subscrip tion. The seconds were, Ford and Gee for Sharp, and J. Jones and Cart for Wolf. The met exhi bited in a roped square of 1.3 feet. The men weighed between 12 and 13 stone, and Sharp was backed at 5 to 4. _ _ ROUNDS. 1. The men met each other with heavy hits upon the head, and both bl.v freely. W t the next meeting, Sharp received a smart body blow, when a close took place; but neither being Hash to the weavings Sharp threw his adversary in a trial of strength. 2. This round lasted nine minutes, and much bravery was displayed. 'niece was no half doing duty, the men met like heroes, and they exchanged hits until they were stupid in claret.. About a dozen hits were exchanged. when Volt received a heavy cross-buttock, and it was at first thought that the fall had heat him. 3d and 4th. Were hugging round• front the exhausted state of the men, and both were down m earhof the rout.ds. 5. Wulf received a heavy racer, which spun the blood out of each ear, in return for which, he drew two of his adveravy's teeth. A tremendous rally followed, upon the give and ti.ke tem, but Wolf was doubled up by a right—handed teaser in the wind, which spoiled him-3 to lon Sharp. ti. This was the last of the good rounds. and the men flattened each others features in warlike tunic. The round lasted seven minutes. and it was all hitting, and at length Wulf fell from weakness and it was all up alai his Pour otter r ds were hitt4ht, and although science was strange to both, ivasmuch as there was not a blow parried in the whole fight, yet when slurp found that his advcr.my was heat, he hit and gut away, until a blow on the neck in the totit round /kasha!

About two hours ar,erwards she fill in with u large brig, called the Henry, of London, bound to Alicant ; the evening being dark, the two vessels came is contact ; the accident was final to the Nancy, which immediately sunk, and with great difficulty the lives of the ystsieugers mid crew were saved. THE QUARREL. A Meeting of the Comw7lce of Two Flundrril was held on Tuesday night, from the proceedings a•. which we were enabled to gather the following au thentic punicobws of the rupture which has taken place between Mr. Hunt and Dr. Watson and his friends : After the Triumphal Procession had terminated at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Mr. Hunt, with some of his particular friends, went into a private room for a few minutes, previous to presenting themselves before the grand party assembled in the Dinino , Hall. While resting here, Dr. Watson came into the room, and announced that all was ready for fishing too—that he had moved Mr. Gale Jones to the Chair, and that the motion had heen carried unanimously. Mr. Hunt instantly took fire at the intimation, told Dr. U'atson that he Was a " officious meddling fellow," and that Jones should not preside, if he (Mr. H,) was to be present. A good deal of altercation ensued, in the course of which Mr. Hunt rated the Doctor solndly ffir the unwarrantable use which he had made of Sir Charles Wolseley's name, as intending to preside at the dinner ; and the Doctor, on the other hand, upbraided Mr. Hunt for speaking thus uncivilly to one who had ever been his most devoted servant, and (modesty apart) who had been, in some mea.. sure, the great architect of his mighty popularity. Mr. Hunt closed the strife of words, by haughtily telling the Doctor, that he did not choose to hold any farther converse with hint, and that all inter. coure between them must henceforth be for ever at att end. Dr. Watson, much incensed, withdrew, but took the earliest subsequent opportunity of sending his friend, Mr. Thistlewood, to demand satisfaction from Mr. Hunt for the insult he had received.— When Mr. Thistlewood waited on Mr. Hunt, and mentioned on whose part he attended " I suppose," said Mr. Hunt, " Dr. Watson expects that I shall make him an apology ?" " Certainly," rejoined Mr. T. "ac apology us public as the affront with public." "At that rate," repliedllr. IL " I might be called on to wale un apology to every scoundrel in Lou don !"—an observation which, it is needless to say, put an immediate end to the conference between Mr. Thistlewotxl and Mr. Hunt. The Committee of Two Hundred now thought it necessary to take up the cause of their friend and chief; Dr. Watson. A spirited letter to Mr. Hunt on the subject %vas drawn up. and a deputation ap pointed to deliver it, and insist upon a categorical answer. The persons appointed were a mulatto and Waddington, the little acquitted Patriot.— When Messrs. the Deputies called at - Mr. Hunt's lodgings, and requested to see him, they were told that lie would only admit Mr. Waddington into his praence. Mr. NVaddington was accordingly ushered up, and delivered the letter; but Mr. Hunt, instead of opening it, contsived to elicit from the little man as much of its contents as satisfied him that he ought not to open it. Fur the exoneration of Waddington, Mr. Hunt wrote on the back, that he understotal the letter referred to a private quarrel between himself and another individual, and that he did no ye what more right the Committee had to intermeddle with hit private afl:iira than he had to do with their's. With this answer Mr. Wad dington retired, and here the mutter rests for the present. The conversation of the fashionable circles at Edinburgh has been enlivened, fin. some days past, with an occurrence of some novelty in that quarter —en elopement to Gretna Green A pursuit soon took place; but, from accident, or, it might be, from a prudence which is not usual to lovers, no horses could be obtained by their iblloxer► on the route — and nothing followed, of course, hut the most triumphant success on the one side, and disappoint ment on the other. _ . _ • The great trotting match against time with Mr. Jaques's mare, which has excited so much sporting attention, took place on the I luntingdon road \\* Q .t. nesday morning. The mare was backed fur :;00 guineas to trot sixteen miles within an hour, and she performed the distance over a circle of two miles, with ten seconds to spare. The first two miles ware done in seven minutes.
