" Mr. Larnbton does not consider Mr. Thomas Peneberton's
character to be such as to entitle him to receive that satisfac-
tion which one Gentleman would have a right to require of
another."

LETTER., NO. 4.
" irlr. Larnbten will not retract a single syllable of what he
har. said respecting the character of Mr. Tinning Pemberton ;
of the nature of which, Mr. Lambton was only fully informed
Silbscvently to the meeting of Wednesday last.
" far. Lambton considered that a person under prosecution
for defrauding the -Excise, and against whom s true bill had
been found for an assault on a wom.an, waa nat of that charac-
ter which placed him on a level With Gentlemen. Under these
impressions, Mr. Lambton replied to Mr. Thomas Pombarton's
letter. Anxious,- however, that his own individual opinion
might not alone. regulate Ilk conduct, Mr. Larabton referred
the affair to Sir fied*orth Williamson and Captain Cochrane,
wishing that if any doubt arose as to the nature of Mr. Thos.
Penitx:rton'a character, he might have the benefit of it.
" Those Gentlemen having made the necessary incinirita;, are
of opinion, that whatever may be the' reports in general circu-
lation as to the character of Mr. Thomas; nothing
RS yet has been proved against him, and consider, therefore,
that under theate circumstances Mr. Lambton will net degrade
himself-by meeting Mr. Thomas Pemberton.
"'finder their sanction, then, Mr. Lambton aceedes eacer-
fully to Hr. Thomas r`ernberton's request, and leaves the time
and place of meeting to be fixed by the tientlernen aating as
Seconds.

LETTER, No. 5.
" Mr. Lambton having refused Mr. Thomas Pemberton
that aatiafaction which one Gentleman has a right to demand
from another, can have no Farther communicanea with Mr.
Lambton."
" Sunderland, Jan. 10, 1824." ,
" Mr. LAURTON has been influenced, throughout,this af-
fair, solely by a sense of what was due to his own character
arid station. He felt that he could not acknowledge his equa.
lity with an individual, against whom auch imputations exist-
ed, without such a step being sanctioned by Gentlemen of ho-
nour and character. The moment that Mr. Larnbton received
their assurance that he could do so without persoaal degrada-
tion, his only and instant request to those o.e.ntlernen was, to
give every facility to the meeting. They acted up folly to
their instructions, and cannot be answerable for the refuaal
given by Mr. Thomas Pemberton."
" Sunday Morning, Jan. 11, 1824."

** On Thursday last we gave the first ac-
count of this misunderstanding, under the title of
" Fracas. in the North," omitting the names of
the parties. The Correspondence which we in-
sert this day relative to the affair, our Corre-
spondent at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, assures us,
is the only sta tementrespecting the circumstances
of the case which has •yet appeared, and was laid
upon the tallies of the Exchange Go/fee-rooms at
that place.
