TIIR QUA:RR:U.

•
A Meeting a the Coinmittee of Two Rie:dral ;rap
held last night, from the proceedings at which we
were enabled to gather the following atk hentic put.-
ticulars of the rupture which has taken phice between
Mr. HUNT and Dr. WATSON and his friends :

After the Triumphal Procession had terminated at
the Crown and Anchor Tavern; Mr. HUNT, with
some of his particular friends, went into a private
room for a few minutes, previous to presenting them-
selves before the grand party assembled in the Dining
Hall. While resting here Dr. WATSON came into
the room, and announced that all was ready for fat.
ling to—that he had moved Mr. GALL JONES to the
Chair, and that the motion had been carried unat:i-
mously. Mr. HUNT instantly took fire at the intima:.
tion, told 1)r. WATSON that he was " a d—d officious
meddling fellow," and that JONES should not pre--
side if he (Mr. H.) was to be present.
A good deal of altercation ensued, in the course
of which Mr. Hos; rated the Doctor soundly for the
unwarr,ntable use which he had made of Sir CIIARLEi
WOLSELET'S name, as intending to preside at the din-
ner; :ltd the Doctor, on the otter hand, upbraided
Mr. Huxt for speaking thus uncivilly to one who
had ever been his most devoted servant, and (mo-
c'esty apart) who had been, in some measure, the
great archi ect of his mighty popularity. Mr. HUNT
closed tne strife of words, by haughtily telling the
Doctor, that he did not choose to hold any farther
converse with him, and that all intercourse between
'them must hen_eforth be for ever at an end.
Dr. WATSON, much incensed, withdrew, but took
'the earl est subsequent opportunity of sending his
friend, Mr. THISTLEWOOD, to demand satisfaction
I from Mt. HUNT for :he insult he had received. When.
Mr. THIS: LEWOOD waited on Mr. HUNT, and men-
' tioned on who -e part he attended,—" I suppose"
said Mr. HUNT, Dr. WATSON expects that I shall
make him an apology ?" " Certainly," rejoined
Mr. T. " an apology as public as the affront was
public." "At that rate," replied Mr. H. " I might
be called on to make an apology to every scoundrel
in London !"—an observation which it is needless to
say, put zn immediate end to the conference between,
Mr. THISTLEWOOD and Mr. HUNT.
The Committee of Two Hundred now thought it
necessary to take up the cause of their friend and
chief, Dr. WATSON. A spirited letter to Mr. HUNT
on the subject was drawn up, and a Deputation ap-
pointed to deliver it, and insist for a categorical an-
swer. The persons appointed were a Mulattoe and
WADDINGTON, the little acquitted Patriot with the
white hat, (meant, we presume, to be characteristic of
their determination of having an answer in black upon
white). When Messrs. Deputies called at Mr. HUNT'S
lodgings, and requested to see him, they were told
that he would only admit Mr. WADDINGTON into his
presence. Mr. WADDINGTON was accordingly ushered
up, and delivered the letter; but Mr. Howl., insteal
of opening it, contrived to elicit from the little man
as much of its contents as satisfied him that he ought
not to open it. For the exoneration of WADDINGTOI.k
Mr. HUNT wrote on the back, that be understood the
letter referred to a private quarrel, between himself
and another individual, and that he did not see what
more right the Committee had to intermeddle with
his private affairs than he had to intermeddle with
their's. With this answer Mr. WADDINGTON retired,
and here the mattes rests for the present.

The Anniversary of the Birth of FERGIISOM, the
Scots Poet, was celebrated on the 6th instant, by the
Edinburgh Ferguson (nab, at Htpburn's Tavern,
High-street. The attendance was very numerous,
and the company, after partaking of an excellent din-
ner, spent the evening with the greatest hilarity.
Many appropriate toasts were given on the occasion,
and several favourite songs were sung in floe style by
some of the Members.

Mai gate is so full of company at present, that it is
difficult to find house-room for the visitors. Friday
morning the Victory steam-yacht, on her voyage LW
London, was compelled to put into Whitstable, from
the high wind having unshipped her chimney. The
London Engineer, in consequence of the violence of
the wind, did not think it prudent to leave Margate
that day.

When the account left Doncaster, the Course was in the lA..

it was declared an unfair start. Several horses again started,
I when Mr. T. Piers.e's b. c. Sir Walter came In first, and the
Lisette colt second. It will be-left to the Jockey Club to decide
which horse the stakes are to be given to. Betting at startles
was as follows s-100 to 2 against Antonio (the winter), 6 to I
against Sir Withal; 6 to 4 against Lisette; Sultan was not
named.—The Course was immensely crowded, and a great num-
ber. of the Nobility were-present ; but the circumstance related
above greatly marred the hilarity of the day.

been accustomed to give bills in blank, and would
not deny this to be his acceptance.
Reexamined.—Mr. Hambridge afterwards said,
he had never seen the bill before.
Mr. Edward Rowland, a banker of Carlisle, proved
that he had never heard of such a person there,
though he had an occasion to make minute inquiry,
as C. W. Rowland.
Mr. ADOLPHUS, in the defence, adduced a witness
named George Clark, who stated himself to be a
master shoe-maker, residing at No. 75, St. John-
street, Clerkenwell ; that in November last a person
named Hallowell, then carrying on business as a re-
spectable coachmaker, in Long-acre, came to him,
and presented to him the bill which was the subject
of this prosecution, and requested him to purchase
for him with it a quantity of hosiery of different sorts,
and referred him to the banking-house of Messrs.
Robarts and Curtis, to inquire as to the validity of
the bill, and particularly that of the drawer, Mr. C.
W. Rowland, of Carlisle. That he accordingly went
there and made the inquiry, and that a young Gen-
tleman, clerk in the house, who was a native of Car-
lisle, and lately come from thence, named Richard
Hodson, was called to answer the inquiry ; that the
bill was put into his hands, and that he gave a most
satisfactory account of Mr. Rowland, of Carlisle,
whose name appeared on the bill ; that he, Mr.
Clark, having no further doubts on the subject, went'
to the prisoner, whom he had known, and uho had
frequently obliged him by discounting small bills,
and gave him the order for the hosiery and the bill,l
stating at the same time the answer he had received
from Messrs. Roberts and Curtis. That in conse-
quence of this the packages came to his house. He
did not open them nor know their contents; nor had
he desired them to be sent to him ; nor had he any
thing to do with the transaction, save merely what
he had stated ; and that he gave the order and the
bill to the prisoner, merely from a sense of thanks
for his former civilities to him. The goods were taken
from his house by a person from Mr. Hallowell,
whom he had known in reputable business for a year
and a half, and had no notion at the-time, of his in-
tention to leave the country ; nor was he surprised at
his giving an order for a quantity of hosiery, because
he understood at the time Hallowell was shipping a
quantity of different merchandize for foreign mar-
kets. lie knows nothing more of Hallowell now,
but understands that lie is gone to the West Indies.
The witness underwent a long Cross-examination
from Mr. ALLEY, and he positively denied knowing
any thing of those goods being sent to Messrs. Mose-
ley, Woolfe, and Cohen, to be sent to the East In-
dies. He knew nothing of Rowland, nor Abbott, of
Manchester.
John White, brother to the prisoner, said, he is a
general broker; and was requested by his brother,
after he had got this bill into his possession, to make
further inquiry at the house of Robarts, Curtis, and
Co. about this bill: that he put the bill into the hands
of the Clerk there before-mentioned, and received the
same satisfactory account of Rowland, the ostensible
drawer, that Clark had. received.
Mr. Richard Hodson, clerk in the house of Ro-
berts and Co. recollected• some inquiry made there
respecting Mr. Rowland, of Carlisle, and a bill being
put into his hand at the same time, as the occasion
of the inquiry. He did not know the amount, and
did not minutely inspect the bill, nor look at the name,
" W. C. Rowland," signed thereto ; but that he an-
swered he knew a Mr. Rowland, of Carlisle, a most
respectable man. He knew that Gentleman by sight
and general reputation, but did not know his Chris-
tian name, he was formerly a timber-merchant, but
had some time resigned that business.
A number of most respectable traders in the City
of London were then examined to the prisoner's cha-
racter, all of whom had intimately known the priso-
ner for longer and shorter series of years, and gave
him an excellent character for respectability and in-
tegrity, in his conduct and reputation.
