THE CW.IRREL.

A Meeting of the Conine Wee of Two Hundred
was held on Tuesday night, from the proceedings at
which we were enablet, to gather the fidlowing au.
thentic particulars of the rupture which has taken
place between llunt and Dr. Watson and his
friends :

After the Triumphal Procession had terminated at
the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Mr. (loot, wit',
some of his particular friends, went into a private
room for u few minutes, previous to i:restnting
themselves heihre the gran,: party assem! lel in the
'Airing Hall. While resting here, Dr. Wilburn ca,:ie
into the n.om, and unommced that all was ready t;n.
Calling tau—that be had moved Mr. Gale I;,,es to
the Chair, and that the motion had been earriel
unanimously. Mr. 1-liznt instantly took firs! at the
intimation, cola Dr. Watson tut I. was u
ollicims meddling fellow," and that Jones sln.tald
not preside, if he (4r. H,) was to be present.
A ;Taxi deal of altercation emoted, i,a the course
of which Mr. Hunt rated the Doctor &metal), fin.
the unwarrantable use which he had made of Sir
Charles Wolseley's name, us intending to preside at
the dinner ; and the doctor, on the other hand,
upbraided Mr. Hunt for speaking thus uncivilly to
:,nu who had ever been his most devotee ser,ant,
and (riodnsty apart) v.'llo bad been, in some nuea.
sure, the great architect of his rukeity yopularity.
Mr. limit closed the strife of words, by haughtily
telling tim Doctor, that he did not choose to hold
any farther converse with him, and that all inter-
court: IrAween them must henceforth be for ever at
an end.

Or. Watson, much incensed, withdrew, but took
the earliest subsequent opportunity of sendin,4 his
friend, Mr. Thistlewaxl, to demand satisfhction
from Mr. limit for the insult he had received:—
When Mr. Thistleivood waited on Mr. [hunt, and
mentioned on whose part he attended " l suppose,"
said Mr. Hunt, " Watson expects that I shall
make him an apology r " Certainly," rejoined Mr.
T. "in apology as public as the affront was public "
"At that rate," replied Mr. 11. " I might be called
on to wake an ap.do„y to every scoundrel i o Lon-
don !"—an observation which, it is needless to say,
put an immediate end to the conference between
Mr. Thistlewtaxl and Mr. limit.

Th,,Onornittee of Two Hundred now thought it
oecessor: to take up the cause of their friend and
Woron. A spirited letter to Mr. Hunt
t n !!.e sulject was drawn up. and a deputation sli-
p:Ante.' to deliver it, and insist upon a categorical
answer. 'Ma persons appointed were a mulatto
rout Wn'.din..;ton, the little acquitted :-atriot.--.
When :Aessrs. the Deputies called at Mr. Ilunt's
io s, roptestel to see him, they were told
.t (oily aamit Mr. Waddington into his
r,sence. ;.Ir Waddington was accordingly ushered
tr.), ant delivered the letter; but Mr. Hunt, instead
•Tening 1-, contrived to elicit from the little man
as t each of its contents us satisfied him that he

oty lit ?tot to open it. For the exoneration of
Wa dingcm, Ir. :hint wrote on the back, that be
understood tuc Liter referred to a private quarrel
between hintheW .nil another individual, and that be
did no• ikc ulna ....ire right the Committee had to
intermeddle with hie private affairs than he had
to do with tl.;:ir's. With this utovver Mr. Wad-
diiii,,ton retired, and here the matter rests for the
prefstit.

The conversation of the fashionable circles at
Edinburgh bus been enlivened, for carne (hays paw,
with c.n occurrence of some novelty in that quarter
—so elopement to Gretna Green ! A pursuit soon
took place; but, from accident, or, it miglit be, front
a prudence which is not usual to lovers, no horses
could be obtained by their followers on the route--.
:Ma nothing tidlowed, of course, but the most
triumphant success on the one side, and diaappuint-
went on the other.

'l'he great trotting match against dine with Xlr.
Jaques's mare, which Las excited so much sporting
attention, took place on the Huntingdon mud Wed-
nesday morning. The mitre was backed fir 300
guineas to trot sixteen miles within an hour, nod
she performed the distance over a circle of two miles,
with ten seconds to spare. The first two miles were
done in seven minutes.

On Monday last a meeting was held iu the Ward
of Cripplegate Within, to consider the recent out-
rages at Manchester ; and this morning a similar
one in the Ward of Tarring don Without. The use
of the Churches was rdused by the Churchwardens,
and the procei.slings took place in both instances in
the open air, Aldermen Wool and Waithmtut pre-
siding in their respective Wards. Resolutions si-
milar to those p.is,e•l at other meetings MI the 5:111,0
bubj•Tt were unnoinomilv agreed to. The two De-
puti s f rr tee Ward of 13ishopsgute, b the !Ibsen, a
of Sir Richard Carr Glen, Bart. Alderman for that
Vard, have appointed to.tourrow for a siluilar
Inceting.
