N'yg: AFFAIR BB WEN MR. RICE. M. P. .6.6 MR. e O'GRADY. svaesrsa IPA Saturday, (the 7zl) instant), Mr. Rice attended the Court of King's Bench, and remained, there firing the hearing of the case of - Lynch v. Lord Farn ham. At about three o'clock, on passing _through the H a ll, it was said, he was accosted by. Mr. O'Grady, that Gentleman inquiring for a certain Noble Earl, at pres ent in London. Mr. Rice said he was well. Mr. O'Grady then expressed himself respecting that Noble Lord in a manner quite disagreeable to Mr. Rice, who, politely bowing, said, he understood ; and if the re mark, conveying a harsh opinion of his Noble relative w as intended as an , insult to him, he knew the course to take. On Saturday morning, at eight o'clock, the parties proceeded to decide the quarrel. Baron Robeck and Mr.-Franks were the seconds; Mr. Franks being second to Mr. Rice. The servants of the principals, w i t h two xurgeoni of eminence. proCeeded to a field of smmond's Court-avenue, on Donnybrook road. The .. ro und was measured, and the parties were about to re. b cave the signal for firing, when. the police appeared, who tad no . prevrous knowledge that a duelled been on foot. Their presence there was for the purpose of preventing violation of the Sabbath, and in order to disperse the individuals who had on previous occasions assembled in that quarter for the purpose of hunting badgers, tcc. It was the appearance of the canines in that retired sane that discovered the intended duel as the officers passed by. The seconds, on the appearance of the police, were immediately apprehended; the principals effected their escape. The seconds were bound over to keep the raze. Colonel Cuff, M.P. was afterwards requested by Mr. Rice , to act for him ; br some means the Magi's trates heard of this, and caused that Gentleman to be I bound over in rio less a penalty than £5000.-officers were also stationed at Howth and Kingstown, with war. ran ts to apprehend the principals, in case they might have felt inclined to decide the mader in another king dent—Dublin Ppper. We learn, with great pleasure, drat an accommoda tion has been effected, awe that Mr. Waller O'Grady has apologised far his expressimis. We need not s.ty that we congratulate our readers on the termination 01 this unpleasant afair.—Dublin 1, ring Post. IRISH DUELLING. Without pronouncing any (Onion en the usage of duelling; we have nu hesitation in saying, that the bar barous extent to which it is carried in Ireland, is.one of thegreatest earses with which that unfortunate country i; affiicted. It is destructive of all virtue, all justice, all park spirit. It places the most valuable men at licit ; mercy of every brawling blockhead who potsessesenuugb of a quality, which is,so vulgar in these Nor them parts, of Burope„that the want of it in any case, even among the lowest of the populace, is almost a matter of wonder, to hazard his own life to take away that of another. In Ireland everything becomes the subject of a duel. The late Mr. Edgworth tells us,- that having been ap pointed an executor, he sent letters to the -different debtors to the estate r and for etc'' , letter he received a challenge. Mr. Wakefield says, that, at a fair in Ire. land, he saw a Gentleman of distinction lay the cheek of a poor unoffencling man open by a blow of his whip that feeling indignant at this act of brutality, be said to several Magistrates then present--" Good GOO! why do you not interfere, that this brute may be punished as he deserves r-:-Whea they all excused themselves saying they did not wish to involve themselves in a duel. No Magistrate dare receive a complaint OF he were dis posed, which is not very likely) against a landholder from any-of his tenants—the consequence would be a duel. In the-Irish House of Commons, there was always a band of Fire-eaters, who worked their way to office by singling out formidable Opposition • Members. Now this system is really productive of a cowardice of the most disgraceful kind. A man cannot be Awe) s fighting, and if he attempts to do his duty, he aunt lay his account -with having as many duels on his hands as there are individuals affected by, his acts. By degrees he comes to witness the most shocking . acts of atrocity with indifference, if they have no relation to himself or his friends. Why should we involve ourselves in a quer re: ? is the common answer which an Englishman re ceives when some signal act of injustice excites his in dignation, and leads him to demand redress for the victim of oppression. We are awate of the difficulty there is in changing the manners of a nation. We know well that .a Gentle man is obliged to defer to the opinion of the class to which he belongs ; and that no Irish Gentleman will ieel himself at liberty to set the notions of his country at detiance. But something may be done in England towards rectifying the evil. Were the Gentlemen of England to mark, by their reception of Irish Duellists, their strong disapprobation of every attemptto fasten a quarrel on honourable men for merely discharging t!.eir duty, we cannot help thinking that it would have s.sme effect in diminishing the evil. —Morning Paper. It appears, by the Navy Estimates which have been laid upon the table of the House of Com Mons, that the imber of Seamen to be raised for the present year will be twenty-nine thousand, including nine thousand Royal vines. This will he an increase in our naval service between three and four thousand, men. The extended commercial relations which may be expected in South America, and the necessity occasioned by what has taken place in our %Vest India Colonies, of augmenting our force in the Lee Ward Islands, are the only causes for this increase. - Considerable Cantracts have been entered into within the lass lo.tnight tOr Steam Engines and other Ma chinery, by the ANGLO-MEXICAN MINING ASSOCIATION. /Me Neath Abliey Company, Messrs.

LONDON FEVER HOSPITAL Yesterday, a Meeting of the Governors of the -Lon don Fever Hospital took place at the Freemasons Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the Twenty-third Annual Report of the Committee. J. L. MALLET, Esq. Treasurer, in;the chair. The CHAIRMAN observed, that the Committee bad _ _ conceived it necessary, in presenting their Report, to remind the Public that. the objects of this Institution . were to diminish the mortality of contagious malignant' fevers, by a speedy removal of the persons first infected into the Hospital ; and to prevent the spreading these fevers by purifying the apartments of patients'by means of white-washing, fumigation, &c, Two important advantages were thus acquired which • unattainable by the ordinary regulations of P • Charities. First, the admission was not delayed by fern . realities of recommendation, or stated and distant pe-i nods for the reception of patients ; so that, • if early ap. plication be made, the disease might be taken in the, commencement, and easily cured. And secondly, the assistance being mended beyond the walls of the Hos. pital to the infected apartments of the sick, those who had not already suffered were preserved to their fami lies ; and the patients once recovered, escaped the clan• ger of a fresh infection on their return home. Dr. CLIWZRLY presented the report of the Committee, which was read.. It stated, that in the year 1823, the admissions into the Hospital amounte d to 336, of Which number 283 had been dismissed cured; 14- were dis missed as improper objects; and 46 died. There Were remaining in the Hospital 23 ; and the total number Of admissions since the opening in 1802, amounted to 4,871. For the four years preceding 1822, the cases of fever were gradually diminished, the admissions being in the first year 608 ; in the second, 539 ;•in the third, 477; and in the fourth, 323. An increase of one bun. Bred took place in 1822, for the number rose to 456.. Last year the number had declined to 339: so that the Committee considered malignant infectious Tever as stationary for the last three years, so far as they could judge from the Hospital records. It was not &E.. ficult to determine, a priori, and upon simple inspection, where the typhus fever originated and most abounded. The parishes containing the greatest number of sick were St. Pancras, St. Andrew, Holborn; St. Luke, St. James, Clerketiwell ; St. Matthew, Bethnal-green; Christ Church, Spitalfields; St. Giles, and White chapel. In no preceding year had the Institution ren dered such important services as in the present. Se yenty?five domestic servants had been admitted, and so many families had been relieved Irons the anxiety and r alanger naturally attendant upon persons in contagious ( fevers. The progressive improvements in the metropolis leaded to mitigate the violence of fevers, which were usually engendered in the habitations of the indigent. The benefits of light and air were increased, the paving and cleansing the streets, the eptistruction and support of the common sewers, and the copious, supplies of water, all formed an enemy to the typhus, not easy to be resisted ; while in the close abodes of the poor, the disease raged, and would rage, until the miserable re cesses were less crowded IA ith inhabitants, and habits of cleanliness were adopted. Dr. SHEPHERD rose to move a Resolution to the] Meeting. He believed the Public would be highly gra. tified at fiading that the London Fever Hospital stood amongst the highest in the list of charitie>, - and he hoped that the immense advantages arising from it would sti• mulate them to exercise a spirit of liberality propor tioned to the acknowledged merits of the Institution. He then moved that the funds were inadequate to the ex tensive objects of the Institution, and that it should be referred to the General Committee to adopt measures for increasing - the resources of the Institution. Some conversation took place upon this Resolution, which was unanimously agreed to. The Duke of Solazitser was then re-elected President 'for the year ensiling, and the name of Lord Baxtetg added to the hit of Vice-Presidents.—The Meeting t separated. • LUTHER'S WEDDING ItIND.-7A peasant lateli sold to a jeweller at Darmstadt a ring, which turned Oa to be the Wedding ring of LUTHER and the Nun, CATIfk atm: de Bowlers, his Wife. 7 Their names are inserilpet on the ring, as well as the date of their Matriapi the 13th of• June, 1525.—This moluelentel relique is to be deposited in the MuseuM of 17.sisttseeit. r ~..;- a I 'ME COMET. .• . Mk, EDIT(!R:YOU keep telling Your R,eaders, from day to day, in . what part of the heavens the Comet, with which our hemisphere is now visited, may be seen ; but if you, or some of your learned Correspondents. 'would state what this stringer portends. if it does por tend anything, it would be highly gratifying urrnany. That earthquakes (of which there have lately been in ' from divers places, and pestilences, and great signs heaven (and such surely Comets may be consi dered) do portend great and striking political events, is not a doctrine of modern invention. The man, how ever, who would, now-a-days, profess to pay any atten tion to such prognosticators would run some risk of being counted a fool. I beg, nevertheless, that you will have the goodness to give a place,-in your columns, to the following observations respecting the Cornet of the year 1811, which I have transcribed from the Pro phetic Almanack for this year : and 1 would Cu-titer beg that one or other of your Readers, who may consider the coincidences, pointed out by the writer, as resting on any 'Natural foundation, will have the goodness (if he can) to inform us what singular event may be predicted by the present Comer. A Cossra :yr READER. On Me Comet of 1811. • 46 The facts I have to adduce with regard to the omi nous character of Comets, though not Scriptural, are such as carry, in my mind, conviction with them.— We knoethat an individual of our own time has been 'deitined to act an extraordinary part in- carrying into execution certain moral dispensations in that course ordained by Pnoviossce. Napoleon the Great was -born in August, 1769; and for several months preced ing his birth, the Northern regions of the boa - , ens were visited by one of those Illaziag Messengers for the por tentous chiracter of which lam here contending. He reached, in 1811, the zenith of his glory ; and though all of as may remember that-luminous prodigy which appeared at that time, few could know the peculiar characteristics which mark its astrological import. In September, 1811, when it first, became fain* percep tible, it was, in its diurnal course, vertical at Corsica. Its splendour continued to increase until it had reached 48 - deg. of North latitude; and, when at its highest de gree of lustre, it was on the Zenith of Paris AT NOON. It then retired, gradually declining in brilliancy, to wards the Sonth, until it seemed to fade away to nothing on that latitude of the heavens which biought it again daily vertical to Corsica. These are circum stances that deserve the attention of those who dispute its having the ominous import attached to it ; and they are bound to account for such peculiar i coineidences by someThetter argument than mere chance. But even this is not all. During the few latter weeks, as the spirit of life was evaporating from the mortal :body of that ex traordinary man, the Blazing Star of Fate again ap peared to beam upon his bier on that obscure rock, severed far from the social world, where he was doomed, amidst a drear of waves to 'years of lone reflection on -the precarious tenure of all human glory, and to die leneath his Fiery Star. Having adianced these facts, f leave them to their effect on every rational mind."

Coroner, in, the Board-room, St. Bartholomew's ,Uosa pital, ,to inquire how' and by what means Sarah Laws tence, aged fifty, came to her death. It appeared from tire evidence that the wretched wts min lived with a That; of the name of Gouldswortb; on Saffron-hill ; that there had been a quarrel between them ; that she received a severe wound on the temple • from some earthen vessel, of which she afterwards died ; and that the charged GouldsWortli with having • flicaed it, while, on the other hand, be said it was accir. dentally caused by a fall.—The Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against George Gouldsworth." At the return of the verdict, the accused begged the Coroner and Jury to hear him for a few minutes, before they affixed their Signatures to the depositions He was an Englishman, he said, labouring under great reverse • of -lot tune, although he might hilve been supposed to come from the Sister Kingdom, by his place of resi , dence. Adversity had driven him to seek shelter in so humble an abode; and although- he had degenerated in forming a connection with the deceased, it was the least of his thoughts to have committed any personal vio lence to -destroy her life. The fact was, that she three water over him when in bed, on which he certainly_got out and rushed her, when she fell over the ea' then vessel in question that had proied so fatal to her. The origin of the affray was that, which lo others as it had been to him, had been a bane of lasting discord. Laws rence was unfortunately extremely jealous, and this, he bad no doubt, had prompted her, though withiait cause, to the commission of that violence which had been the prelude to their quarrel. He trusted that the Jury would view his situation as a hard one, labouring, under the rheumatic gout as lie did, and let their feelings sway. with the urgency of me causes The COR?NEIt said he bad violated the liw even in pushing her, as that led to deprive her of life.
