MR. WHITE.

Whatever may be the suspicions regarding
Probert, his attendance had not been required
to answer any inquiries regarding the mysterious
disappearance of Mr. itVErrE, late of the Quad-
rant, who never could be heard of after having
received 6181. at the Board of Works, in Feb-
-1822, which sum it was known he was going to
receive." Some further particulars have transpired,
but none of them tending (however they may
strengthen suspicions), to give decided informa-•
tion as to what really became of Mr. White.—
While Saunders (Mr. White's foreman) was
making inquiries for 'his roaster at Liverpool, by
means of placards, &c. it has already been
stated that a man came and offered for 301. to
produce Mr. White. That man, it seems, repre-
sented himself to come from the Moonies—a spe-
cies of agents well known in Liverpool, but no-
thing more was seen of the man, and at his
quarters it was denied to Mr. Beard (Mr. W.'s
brother-in-law), that any such offer had ever
been made on account of y the Moonies. It is a
remarkable circumstance, that Mr. White's cre-
ditors have learned, from certain. alleged criminal
proceedings in Lancashire, soon afterwards.;
that John Thurtell (under another name)
with some other recently equally notorious cha-
racters, figured away in Lancashire, about Liver--
pool, &c., in February, 1822 ! Soon after that
period, too, a curious character entered a room
in the Half-Moon public-house, near the County
Fire-office (Mr. Barber Beaumont's), which room
was set apart for tradesmen residing in the
neighbourhood, and he there began to talk freely
about Mr. White, and astounded the company
by stating that Mr. W. was forcibly secreted in
Liverpool. He entered into particulars, which
corning to the ears of the creditors and friends,
induced them to institute additional inquiries,
but they led to no favourable result. Mr. Beard -
(Mrs. White's brother), who admitted, in his
communications with Sir Richard Birnie, that ho
was, what the world termed " a man of play,'" is
well known in the sporting, or " fancy," and gam--
bling circles ; but it is due to him to state, that
(with such fashionable exceptions) his charac-
ter is in no way impeached or suspected. It was
through his means the creditors learnt that Mr. %
became known toProbert, the latter being concern-
ed in the discounting of some of Mr. W's. bills. Mr.
8., amongst other peculiarities, was an officer in a
notorious society called " The Wolves," notorious
on account of the alleged furious manner in which
they went to the theatres, particularly to Drury,.
to support the fame and interests of a celebrated
tragedian, their Captain and founder. The
" Wolves" assembled at Finch's O. P. and P.S.
and after the play and their performances, they*
re-assembled, and had their " midnight howls"
at the same place. The indignant voice of the
public, on account of the real or supposed out-
rageous demeanour of the " Wolves,". led to the
prompt dissolution Of the unseemly association;
which, whatever might be their motives for asso-.
elating, carried their " good fellowship " to
pier

such subject, stating the fact of the "..Wolves'
having been exterminated, &c. 'and- sorne
how or other, whether accidentally or otherwise,
the reader must determine, since such diSSolntlai.
following the markedly-expressed indignation-0C
the public, the pit of Drury has not, on particu'
lar occasions, presented such evidently organized,
as far as a good understanding went, assemblages
of white coats, white hats, coloured neckerchiefs,
&c. The actor alluded to most properly dis•
solved the parties immediately after they had be-
come objects of suspicion ;—the " WoV Society,'"
which had particular costume, buttons with
wolves heads on thear, signs to be known by,
&c. undoubtedly became what the Captain. and
Founder never could have intended it to be.---'
