BETWEEN TWO OF THE RIVAL CANDIDATES FIR WEX• FORD, MR. ALCOCK, AND Ma. COLCLOUGH. The challenge originated with Mr. ALCOCK, and the caufe, we underfland, is this. The latter had been promifed by a lady of confiderable property in the county every vote the could influence or corn. mand. Some of Mr. COLCLOUGH'S friends under took to canvafs her tenantry in favour of that Gen tleman, which having come to the knowledge of Mr. Accocx, he immediately demanded an explanation from Mr. COLCLOUGH. The latter, it is (Wed, de nied any knowledge of his friend's proceedings, but Mr. ALCOCK infifled that it was to him alone (Mr. CoLexoucti) he flsould look for fatisfaetion. A challenge enfued, on which Mr. CoLct.oucx rub mined himfelf to the direction of his Committee. The Gentlemen who compofed it were of opinion that Mr. CoxcLovox fhould meet his antigonift.— Mr. BEAUCHAMP COLCLfIUGH was the friend to the latter Gentleman, and Mr. PERCIVAL was Mr. AL• COCK'S. The firit fire was fatal to Mr. Cot.ccouo the ball having lain in his heart. Mr. Precrvat. And his principal inflantly abfconded. ANOTHSA. ACCOUNT. Died, at Alcandridge, near Wexford, JOHN Cm.- CLOUGH, Efq. one of the Candidates to reprefent that county. An unhappy mifunderaanding had taken place between Mr. Cor.o.ouna and Mr. WILLIAM CONGRIVI At.cocx, another Candidate, which they agreed to decide in the field, whither they went with their feconds, followed by a vaa crowd of Tpeitators: they fired by command, and fo exaaly together, that their two patois made but one report. Mr. CoL CLOUGH fell, and never moved a mufcle after: his adverfary's ball had paired through his heart. The body was carried to the town of Wexford, where the Coroner's Jury fat, and found fpecially that " JOHN CODCLOUGH died by a ball fired from a piaol by %V. C. ALcoca, Efq." On Sunday the body was moved to I'iutern Abbey, the ancient feat of the COLCLOUGHS. ANOTHER DUEL. Saturday fe'nnight, near Liverpool, a meeting took place between Mr. BOASE, of the Royal Cornwall Regiment, accompanied by Mr. THOM psom and Mr. CARDER, of his Majefly's fhip BoLINA, accompanied by Mr. STEWART, when, after an' exchange of three fhots, their difpute, by the interference of the feconds, was molt honourably fettled. and they withdrew from the field, fortunately unhurt. They flood at ten paces diflaut from each other. SERICM3 AFFRAY.Yeflerday afternoon, as two or three Irifh labourer% were paffing by St James's Markel to their lodgings in Market-lane, they were ridiculed by Tome butchers, who were fitting on their Balls in the Market Place. The Irifkmen, not willing to put up with fuch an unmerited infult, retorted the abide, which in a little time came to blows. The butchers being more numerous, had, at the com mencement of the affray, the heft of it. The alarm flew to each end of Market-lane, which is almoft en tirely occupied by the natives of Ireland : both men and women, armed with bludgeons of every defcrip• tien, fuch as broom handles, broken chairs, p' keys, tongs, (hovels, &c. ran to the alEflance of their countrymen. The butchers were likewife increafed in number, when the conteft was renewed with re doubled fury by both parties, and 'ailed about three qua tern of an hour, at which time the pavement bad received a Taft effufion of blood. The Parifh Beadles and Conftables were fent for, but were not able to flop the riot until the combatants had beaten each other to that excels, that from lots of blood they were obliged to content to a ceffation of hoftilities, at which time there were about nine or ten &etched in the ftreet for dead. We hear that there were above 20 taken home very dangerrmlly wounded ; and eight with fret:lured fltulls, broken legs, and arms, carried by the Beadle% to the hliddlefex Hofpital, Tome of whom not expeeted to fur rive. ifeRKLAVE.

The firft witnefs (worn was Mr. Jofeph Payne, belonging to the Office of Ordnance, Tower, who Rated, that on Thurfday night, the nth of June, he was walking in Piccadilly, in company with another gentleman; they were off the foot pa•b, and going to wards Coventry-Reed ; be perceived beyond Bond ftreet, at nearly ten yards from him, a gentleman's chariot, drawn by two harks, coming towards him, the off h rfe appeared to him rather reltive, and the coachman was driving (alt, but not fatter than be generally noticed carriages to go along the greets; the coachman ►ad a white coat on, and he believed there was another perfon fit Ling on the box with the coachman, and witnefs believed they wore bats; they were turning out of Piccadilly Into Bond-ftreet the reitivencfs of the horfe Rill attradted witnefs's attlrtion, fo as to turn back, and in an infant the coach turned to the right to wards Bond-ftreet ; there was another coach !binding at the tag corner of Bond-Erect, and a fecond coac► coming 'town that !beet, towards Piccadilly ; the gentleman's carriage entered Bond-greet, towards the left fide, and he perceived the cam 'ge nearly turn over; at that infant witnefs obferved the deeeafed in the area, dole to the wheel of the carriage, but could one fay whether he was flat on the ground oerifing, but perceived the genieman move violently, as if occafioned by the force of the wheel. I►e carriage went off as fait as poffible, up Bond-greet. Witnefs croffed over, and perceived the gentleman, fueported by two perfons, and heard Come perkn alit him where he lived I when he faintly articulated " Piccadilly." Thcy proceeded to take him to the neared fur geon ; there being•no coaches on the Rand, the untortunate gen tleman, with the affiftance of Ode that held him, walked as far as Burlington houfe, which is near twelve yards, when he funk to the ground ; they then carried him to Mr. Grange's, comet:Honer and fruiterer, on the oppofite fide, in Piccadilly, being the near& (hop that was open Medical affiftance was fent for, and arrived a quarter of an hour after the gentleman had been taken into the (hop; he was blooded in the arm, but very little blood irked. He was taken up Rafts, and undreffed ;he fetched a groan on giving up Rain. Witnefs was informed by Come perfons pre fent, that three of the left ribs were fradtured. Wtmcfs left the honk at nearly eleven o'clock; the gentleman was then dead. Witnefs was queftioned by a gentleman of the Jury, as to his opinion in regard to the condudt of the coachman. He laid, he dimight him highly blameable for driving fo (aft on fuels a night, when the areas were fo crowded. Witnds could not recolka the colour of the carriage, nor of the bodes, the accident being Co momentary. Mr. John Turner, of No. 50, Red Lion-ftreet, liolborn, the gentleman who was in company with the fir ft witnefs, being (worn, corroborated the former evidence, and only differed from his friend's opinion with refped to the rate the coachman was driving at; the honks were nearly on a gallop, and of a dark colour, but he did not notice the colour or the carriage. Mr. John King,of No. 5, George-court. Piccadilly, baker, being (worn, Dated, that Taft Thurfday night, the 4th of June, about ten o'clock, he was (landing in Piccadilly, the eaft corner of Bond i' ftreet • and was noticing the great numbers of people, and the ge neral battle of the e-erring; there was a coach (landing at the taft corner of Bond-greet; he perceived a gentleman's carriage, drawn by two horks, nearly one hundred yards from him, coming from towards Coventry-greet ; it was a yellow bodied chariot, with three lights in the front ; the honks were dark, but he could not fay, whether dark brown. or black. The coachman had on a white coat, and tbere.was no perfon on the box with him. —Witnefs believed there was tome perfon or wrath' In the car riage; there were no coaches on the hand in Piccadilly, and the coachman was not on his right fide. The glides did not appear to him to be reftive, but perfectly manageable ; the coach turned into Bond-greet, very fall, and he perceived the carriage rife nearly one foot from the ground, on one Me, and was nearly overturned, which mutt have proceeded from the wheels of the carriage going over the gentleman's body ; the harks gailopped off up Bond-greet; he ran over, and took hold of the gen tleman's right arm, and, with affiftance, brought him on the pavement, when be left him in the care of thofe who fupported him, to go and look for his hat and cane. The gentleman was croffing irons one fide of Piccadilly to the other. Before he helped him up, be was lying on his face, with his head towards Coventry ftrcet, and exactly in the croffing. Wiuwfs imputed great blame to the coachman, for being on the wrong fide, which prevented him from feting the coach that was coming from Bond ttreet, towards Piccadilly, and obliged him to turn the corner fu (harp, or elk he muff have come in contad with the other coach. The evidence being clofed, in regard to the cattle of the accident, Mr. R. Atkinfon, apothecary, of Jernlyn lima, was (worn, in order to akertain the caufe of the gentleman's deatis.—He Rated, that on Thurfday, the 4th of June, he was Cent for at half-pall ten at night, and came to Mr: Orange's, when he examined the Gentleman. He did not perceive, at fitft, any marks of violence; he blooded him in the right arm, but 100 did not bleed, owing to the circulation being fo languid ; he ordered bins to be taken up Rain and undrefftd, and on examination, found four or five of the left ribs were fra&umd, and a great deprefton on the right fide; be expired, while he was examining him, before eleven o'clock. He had not the leaft doubt that the accident was the caste of his death, not immediately from the ribs being fractured, but from other inward injury, occafioned by the weight of the carriage. • The Jury, after a quarter of an hour's deliberation, returned verdid of mauflaughter againft the coachman, at prefent unknown, and a fine of Is. on the carriage. After which, the Coroner bound over the Gentlemen of the Jury, and the Witneffes, in 401 each, to appear at the Old Bailey, when the coachman, if apprehended, (hail be tried. He alto gave orders to Mr. Blgnell, the Peri& - Beadle, to take the proper means to trace him out. 'I he examination of whtneß•a laded three hours, and there were fevcral gentlemen prefent, friends of the &Leafed, amongft whom was Colonel Green, a difl.ant relative. The dece.:kd was 4S Years of age, and concerned in a mereantile-houfe, In Jamaica, to which place he intended to return in the combs of a month. He was to have left town as on Sunday for Scotland, on a TRU to kis friends. His loft is very much lamented.. LAW IMiILIGEIfICE. •••• ••••• COURT OF CHANCERY, JTJNE s. +HAUCK MIDA TON TY TODD. Sif John Throckmorton being an incumhrancer, With divers.othei perfoni, upon an ellate by mort gage; and theft being a very tedious law Cult tepee. Ting the Mortgaged premifm, Sir John entered into a Contrail with a Mr. Todd, to affign or make over to him all his right and claim, miler the mortgage deed, for a fum much lets than tbatdoe by' the deed. The Other creditors of the ellate haie obtained 4 decree for the tale of the lands and dividends of the original Mortgagee.. Sir John petitioned id be 'Hewed the remainder of his debt; o'er arid above the fum paid by Todd to him, under the contrail, and that Todd may be paid our of the dividends in quell , n , the fum by him advanced to Sir John. It was contended that the contra& T , etween Sir John and Todd was binding upon Sir J , ohn, and that he lhould'have co further claim en the ellate in difptre; for that his claim was Certain, although fubje& to delay, at the time of the contra& with Todd ; and that his remedy was only apical Todd, if he had any ground- in equity.— '1 he Lord Ctiancellor laid to Sir John's agent, that he thought the intended full againfl Todd, by Sir John, would prove difficult ; but granted to much of. the prayer of the petition as entitled Todd to re ceive from the dividends the (urn by him paid under the contra!, with liberty to Sit John to file his bill, on or before the &it day of Michaelmas Term, but not after. It was fuggefiecl. by Sir Arritua Ptoorr, that fuch liberty fhould be without prejudice to the pro ceedings of the creditors at large. of the eliate.

Mr. GAMOW applied to the Court for leave to file a criminal inform lion againti Mr. Watton, lately a Major in the tyth Light Dracoo a. The Court by its wild, m, had happily introduced a praftice which had led Gentlemen in the higheft military fituations, to come there to eßablifu their charaiter, inflead of entering what had been falfely called the lifts of ho.. nour. The Officer for whom the Learned comic' had now the fatisfaftinn to appear, was General Gwyn, who, from the perfon he had named, had re ceived a feries of lihr I in the form of letters, and who had been outraged by the groffett infult. There was an extent of injury, b •yond which the molt can. did and generous mind might not to fubmit to ag greffion. Among the imp rtant duties which military charafters of rank had to chicharge, was, that of pre. tiding at Courts Martial. As early as the year 1798, a C urt of this defcripti• n was held on the condu& of Major Richard Watfon, on four charges exhibited againft h:m, one ref which it would be necelfary to explain ; and it was, that notwithlianding the dig ni y of his Ration in the army, he had condefcended to drink in company with non-commiffioned ofEcets ; and being conviEted of this degrading offence, his pay was Afpended, and by this conduft, rendering himfelf unfit for fuperior fociety, in the fequel, his Majefty ordered that lie Ihould fell his commit. n, and quit the army. In confequence of this refult of the proceedings, the General received the feveral let ters which were fet out in the affidasit ; but had this been the only complaint againfi Major Watfon, the Court would not have been troubled with the affair. . It appeared, that a fpirit of revenge yet agitated the mind of Mr. Watfon, which induced him very re. cently to infult his late fuperior Officer publicly in the (tree, while the latter was in converfation with a friend in the army. Lord ELotaottottaH" How 10 - ig is it fince intercourfe took place ?" Mr. GARROW replied, that it was on the 13th of laft month, and he fhould have been empowered fooner to have made this reference to the Court, had it not been delayed by the endeavour to verify the hand writing of Mr. Watfon in a more fatisfaftory man ner. While the General was thus in converfati with a brother officer, Mr. Watfon came up, and pointing his (tick at him, in a loud voice, and with violent gefticulation, he faid...." You are General Gwyn ; and you were Pt efident of the Court Martial that robbed me of my property and my bread; yon are a rafcal ; and I will go into this fhop, and pofk you for a villain." Such was the late tranfaftion, and the letters he timid have occafion to notice would be found to be written in the fame fpirit by which this gentleman was aftuated in that interview. The firft orthefe letters had the familiar fignature of 4' Shock Sam," and it Pays, 46 I have left yon in my will Soot. for affitting me in cheating the public of so,000l." Another, figned 11 Belitarios," called the General a traitor to his c , untty; and a third is thus expreffed, id I have learnt from the pubt:c ;stints that you attended his Majefty, and took the holy facra ment : how dare you join in that religious ceremony j Take courage, and blow your brains out. Send lone money to the woman at Chelmsford, whofe daugh ter you ruined."—Lord Exssa aciaouon" Take a role to thew caste."
