ALARMING RIOTS.

SUN OFFICE, Two o'CcocK.
We are extremely concet tied to inform tlii

Public, that this muffling. at abuut II o'clock, an

immense mob, amountiug to Many thousand per.

sofas, had asssernbled oi) ‘Vimbledon Common) in

cm,sequence of a report ‘v h let) appeared in a Ne%"•

paper, statiag that a Review was to take place there'

tv-day. There was no foundation for this report,

which is supposed to have been partly a, kcxa, and
partly an interested expedient, in older to profit by
a large assemblage of people in the sale of re"
frealinients, &c. &c. Finding that nck Review irtig'
intended, the mob immediately set the heath on

fire, which was burning in all (firections, wi"
an Express was dispatched to give !Mies of these

riotous proceedings to the Minister of the
Howe Department, in consequence of whicl/
a Body of Cavalry was immediately orderect
to set off from the Iloi se Guards with al? possible
expedition. We trust that they will arrive in tint°.

to &event arty more serious evils that might other-
wise be expected from a mob-infuriated with dis"

appointment, and many of whom were in a state

of intoxication. It is to be hoped Chest the

Report ‘vilich gave rise to these riotous el('

cesses will be probed to the bottona, and
stop be ptirto those freaks called Hoaxes, which
have often occasioned disturbances in private*,
and now bare
,threatened to disturb public (1

qui ihy.

AFFAIR OF .Horioua.—The recent quarrel be'
tween the Marquis of BUCSINGHAm and Sir
TatomAs HARDY, we understand,' originated hi,
some anonymons letters, which were sent to the
former, of. -the. most abusive and scurrilous us'
tune. These letters were written in imitation °I.
!Aiming, and it was deemed impossible to (1;!"..
cover the author by any attempts to trace the
hand-writing. From some circumstances, tot",
ever, of which we are not aware, Sir Tilum4"
to.:etnier
~,.: % of
HARDY was induced to suspect the ~,arquib-
eing the author ; but not having suadrit
gloonds to accuse him', Sir Thomas, it is sa„„s
contented himself with sliming some synilite—.,
of dhpleu.ure towards the Marquis at the ol'e.viber
l,otie, which, as they might be accidental, 't. ,
latter did not think himself called upon
Sir Tuomas, boweveri resolving that the
slintila not remain in any doubt, required it,lllll'
Marquis to disavow being the author of the., ,..
tern, or, if be refused to answer, proposeu, the
.;
other alternative,. which has since taken place. .:
After shots had been exchanged, happily %Oil"
effect, the friends interfered, and then the Itisr"
quis, having bltewts that fear conk! not escort a ,
declaration front him inconsistent with his' I)" '
nom*, solemnly denied all concern in the lettfriffe,
and the matter terminated as stated in the public
'hints.
