Strict OPERATIoEs.-For twelve months past the
Rev. Mr. Hale Of the Journal of Commerce has charg-
ed Col. Webb Of the Courier & Enquirer, with dealing
in stocks-and using his paper entirely as a machine in
his stock obbing operations COL Webb has uniform
ly denied these charges and pledged his reputation
for the truth OF his denials. ---.-....---.-
Yesterday the Journal reiterated its charges and
stated more explicitly that Col.Webb was lame duck
as the term is, for $4,000 in differences
Now for the truth. Yesterday afternoon, about two
o'clock, Mr.. HENRY LYNCH, formerly an extensive
broker and member of the Board openly declared be-
fore large group of brokers, standing opposite the
ruins OF the Exchange in Wall street, that James Wat
son Webb ored him IN differences about SIXTY THOU
SAND DOLLARS that Of this sum he (Mr. L. had paid
about ei2OOO-out .of has pocket-ihat Mr.. Webb
had refused pay and bad not paid any part Of these
dfferences-and that he tMr. L. had his (Nr. WIS.,
contracts in his possession part of them for Morris
Canal stock together with letters and other documen-
tay evidence, which would prove the truth Of his de-
carations, if Mr.. Webb would dare deny the sllega
tons he then made.
Mr.. Henry Lynch added number of further obser-
vatons, particularly impeacbng the personal honor,
character and courage Of Mr. Webb which we cannot
publish of the kindness we always felt to-
wards old associate in the Courier & Enquirer d.
ring its virtusus andgclassic age. r5-ir-
These disclosures openly made in the street before
dozen gentlemen of the highest responsibility have
most important bea ring the reputation Of the news
paper press. Coming to from Mr. Lynch, gentleman
and man of honor-pessessed Of all kinds Of courage
Against whom nothing be sad but that he retired
from the street account of the deacatons Of Barlow
of Albany, Wding (who is be tried next week. and
we may now add Mr. Webb, editor of the Courier g.
Enquirer-there can be reasonable doubt of their
| accuracy.
II appears, therefore, from unquestonable evidence
that the reiterated denals of the Courier and Enquirer
that its editor stock obber, contains not one
particle Of truth-but the contrary that that journal
has been managed with entire reference to stoc
onsthat its extensive boat establishments and daily
expresses Of the characer-and that all its
vauntngs as to its purity have been entire postures
and impositions from beginning to end.
We are sorry for Mr.. Webb. Long associated with
him in the management of the Courier & Enquirer.
liking him much, we know he has many good points
about his character-such honesty charity, good
humor honour, aad toerabe portion Of every virtue.
Ii only requires little time and coaxng to fetch them
out We are therefore persuaded that he will arrange
every thing satisfactory with Mr.. Lynch and prevent
any resort to hair triggers and percussion locks long
before the birds sing in the month of May To convince

wider circulation than his paper with this special
observance that have the liberty TO cut short his
articles formerly did when associated with him.
