In the course of the con. vetsation, the Noble I lost , turning to Mr. J. a par 'titular !steed of the gentleman, whom some of the company appeared ready to set down to a very large extent on the debtor side of the account, said, "Mr. S. owes my friend Lord P. there, poiuting to a Nobleman at the table, 3001. advanced on bit be half, 'will you give your note for the amount..pay able at twelve month. ?" Mr. J. answer ed , that . be had no right to intermeddle so far in the affairs of his friend, nor did he think any man had a right to put such a question to him. He did *believe, that his friend had been much misrepresented; that many dehrs were imported to him which he never owed : and that any that he did owe were greatly wig gcr a.ed. With this impression, he meant nothitig more than to impress on the company the proprie - y and justice of not advancing any charge of this kind against his friend, unless they were con th.‘t they sp,.ke upon certain grounds.— On the near day Mr. .1. met his friend Mr. S. and communicated to him the charge that bad been made against him, in the preceding evening, :it the tahle or Earl H. at which Mr. S. expressed great surprise, and declared that he had not the slightest recolleittion of any such debt. Thinking, however, that some of his agents might have received a loan to that extent from Lord P. he made diligent in quiry among thein,when they all denied that tney had ever received any money from hfs Lordsoip, for Mr. S. or upon any other account. Things remained in this state until Tuesday last, when several of the same company. including the Eat! of B. Mr. S. and .Jr. J. dined with the Marquis cf H. Atter dinner Mr. S., who felt • much hurt at the trot v. took the Earl of IL aside, and remonstrated with h iu on the unfounded charge which he bad made. The Noble Earl denied that he had ever said any thing to that tiled ; and add ed. " that what he hAti said was private, and ought not to have been mentioned our cf doors" . 1 nix answer, however, was not considered perfeelly satisfaCtory, and cuter many more words urors the subjelt, the Noble Earl left the room. Mr. S. aad his friend Mr. J. withdrew shottly af ter, and coming down M 'ont-street, went into the Mount Coffee-house, • wh:re they met the Earl of 13. The latter, on seeing Mr. J. started up, and putting his hand into his waistcoat pocket, exclaimed, " I'll shoot you I" Mr. J. seized a poker, placed himself in an attitude of defence, and equal:ed. " Come on." Lord S. and S. tufo. petted wbe present. and with Mr. S. interposed, to prevent the parties from coming to blows. A meet ing, however, was fixed for the nest day, Wednes day, at two o'clock; and it was agreed, Lord S. and S. and Mr. S. the former as the second of the Eati of 15, and the latter as the sece::d of Mr. J. were to arrange all the preliminaries. On Wednesday, however, Mr. S. was indisposed, and confined bed, and Lord S. and S. politely waited repo' when a conversation took place, which • d them to remonstrate. with their principal., • era 1 - &savour to bring about a recrineilintion unoertokmg they lu.ppily sue. - :ed, the lsaclot B. cosseetinig to make an arolc.gy to Mr. J. and all the parties, save Lord S. and S. agreeing to apolowee to the Marquis of H. for disturbing the 1.1: attires of his hospitable table, by any thing apron iconic to a quartet. e rejoice that the affair has thus ended ; but at the same time we hope that it will operate as catrinn to many. who, snore from levity than ill will, are apt to propav,ate stories of this kmd, to the disadvantage of their 'friends and neighbours. • • • to. •••' • l ' e" POETRT.

It appeared in . evidsnce, that the name of the deceased was not Williams, as we stated yesterday, but John Locker Wainright, formerly a Captain in the army,but lately retired with !lig Lady to the W. st of E.agland. Having some ha sines. to tiansaet in town with his uncle, Mr. Lek-r, the &Ceased, accompanied by 'Mrs. Wain• right and hrr maid, travelled 'in poit,chaises to Salisbury, where they took inside places in the coacli, for town, aiid an outside one for the maid, with whom the deceased, on actoutit of the severity tlie weather, changed places About two hours be inte the accident happened. The deceased has a 'trother in the army, and was the son of the Rev. Mr. Wainright, who resides near Kells, in the county of Meath, and is incumbent of a living of considerable valise in that diocese. Mrs. Wainright was the wi dow Pearce, whose step-daughter, when under age, married Nlr. Locker, the deceased's uncle, WilQle cause, tor marrying a ward of Chancery, is fresh in the recolleiflion of the public. The Pool coach, coming to town, this morning. narrowly escaped the fate .of the Salisbury coach. The wheels paired within a leer of the Xing's Water.

The avenue to public fave,ur so ausp::irailify opened,•made a clear way for the accumulated powers that arose and follnwed th- track pointed out. Their approach was hailed with eerhusiistic delight ; they were liberally rewarded and encou raged. Oae.third of the whole exhibition was pun. chased by an approving public. with an avidity never before evinced, since the arts have been esta blished among us. Let the consequences of this stissuilating influence. and this attire principle, roused by its effects, be a little adverted to. We have seen the British Gallery, duriag the last four months, crowded with Students, like a hive of in dustrious bees, anxiously and impatiently extruding the sweets of that nutriment left for their subsist ence by the ancient Masters; we have seen the re sult of that persevering research after excellence. illumine and beam its beneficent light on the canvas of the incident disciple; at once r.tle)ing and de monstrating the soundness of the system adopted by the Diredors and Governors of this Noble Institu tion, in spreading such a feast within the teach of rising genius, by which alnue its powers can be ma tured, and its judgment receive the last best polish from instruaion. Nearly one handred and fifty Stiles, the produce of their industry, have passed in honourable review before the applauding Patrons of the Institution ; and the close of their labours has been marked by a most munificent aft of liberality by the Dtreaors, who bare presented, as premiums, Oat Huionass POUNDS tO Mr. J.
