EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM DUBLIN, MARCII 18. A duel, attended with fatal consequences, took place this morning, near Richmond Barracks,a short distance from town. The cause of the quarrel is as follows : Mr. Standish Stainer O'Grady, son of Mr. O'Grady, Chair. man of the county of Waterford, and nephew of the Chief Baron, was riding on horseback yesterday, when on turning the corner of Dawson-street, at Morrisson's Hotel, his horse came in contact with a cabriolet, in which Captain Smith, of the 32d Regi ment, was driving; and, In order to disengage himself, he struck the cabriolet horse with a stick, when Captain Smith, ft is said, turned round. and struck Mr. O'Grady violently several times with a whip, and immediately drove off. Mr. O'Grad followed, and demanded the address of his assailant, who repli ed, "If you wish to know the name of the Gentleman who flogged you it Is Captain Smith." Mr. O'Grady, in a short time afterwards, sent a message by Lieutenant 3facnamars, and a meeting was appointed for this morning. The parties were on the ground at six o'clock, and on the first fire Mr. O'Grady was mortally wounded in the groin. He instantly fell, and was removed into Richmond Barracks where the Surgeon-General attended, but upon examining the wound pronounced that it was fatal. Mr. William O'Grady, brother to the unfortunate gentleman, was arrested yesterday evening, at his house in Stephen's-green, in mistake for him, and was kept ih custody all night at College-street Police-office, where the surgeon-general called this morning, after returning from Richmond Barracks, and acquainted him with the disastrous result of the duel. Mr. Standish O'Grady, who was a Commissioner of Bank. rupts, was, I have heard, a young gentleman of inoffensive ha bits. Captain Smith's family reside at Ballots], in the Queen's County. The calamitous event has excited a putt sensation. HALF-PAST Two o'CLocx.—Mr. O'Grady still lingers in much agony, but there is no hope of his recovery. SATITIDAT...-Mr. O'Grady, from the moment he received the wound, with the exception of a few hours, suffered the most excru. ciating agony to the time of his death, which took place at three o'clock on Friday. He was fully prepared for the awful termination of his sufferings, and received all the consolation that religion could afford him. The place where the fatal rencontre took place is not fa! from Harold's-cross. It is a common, named Sir Simon Broad. street's fields, near the Rialto-bridge, on the Circular road, between Kilmainham and Dolphin's-barn. The inquest will be held this day. by Mr. Paisley, senior coroner foe the county. SURREY COUNTY MEETING. Saturday a County Meeting was held at Epsom, to take into consideration the present unparalleled distress under which all classes of the people are now so unhappily labouring. There were assembled about 2,000 persons, consisting of the most substantial farmers. Among the Gentlemen that surrounded the High Shrill', we perceived Sir Thomas Turton, Holme Sumner, Esq. the two County Members, Mr. Wells, DI.P. for Maidstone, Mr. Maberly, M.P. for Abingdon, Mr. Henry Drummond, Mr. Hunt, and se• •eral others. After the Sheriff had opened the proceedings of the day, Mr. Hunt stepped forward, and was received with the most enthusiastic cheers and greetings. He addressed the people at considerable length, and was listened to with great patience ; and those bard blows, which he upon such occasions as these generally deals out, were ap. plauded and approved of by all, excepting those who winced under them. He concluded by proposing the following resolutions, which being seconded by Mr. Fife in a speech replete with good sense, ware carried unanimously : Resolved-1. That in the opinion of' this meeting the general and overwhelming distress which now pervades all ranks and classes in this county (except those who have fixed incomes, those who are annuitants, and those who live upon the taxes) is now universally admitted by every one but persons whose interest it is to miarepre. sent and delude the people. Resolved—g. That the original cause of this distress is clearly to be traced to the total absence of any thing like a fair represen. Wien of the people in the Commons House of Parliament. Resolved-3. That all the evils and distresses which have afflicted and borne down the people of England for so many years, are merely the " consequences" naturally attendant upon laws made by a House of Commons not chosen by the people. Resolved-4. That some of the effects produced by a Commons House of Parliament, thus constituted, are as follows: the long bloody and extravagant wars waged against the liberties of the of America and France, during the reign of George the c e l t trr i d e ; which wars were sanctio ned by large majorities of corrupt Houses of Parliament not chosen by the people : the war with Ame. rica doubled our national burdens and lost us those colonies; the war with France, although it ultimately accomplished that which its abettors and promoters intended it should, by restoring the weak and despotic Bourbons to the throne, yet it caused two thousand millions sterling to be wrung from the pockets of the industrious classes of British subjects, and entailed debt of one thousand NW lions upon them and their posterity, in addition to the shedding of rivers of human blood. Rssolved-5. That to the want of a fair, full, and free represen. tatlon of the people in the Commons House, this meeting attributes the oppressive and overwhelming taxation which anticipates the first f r uits of the poor man's labour, which swallows up full two-thirds of every mans' industry, which abstruets all enterprise of capital suit talent, and which has Impoverished every class.of the ni'y, except those who are paid out of the necessary minis= suffrring millions. Resolved—G. That to the same cause also (the want of a radical reform), this meeting ascribes all the disastrous and impolitic changes in the currency; and all the bad laws and misrule, which have produced the present alarming distress, and all those most ap. palling consequenees, too numerous and too tedious to detail, and many of them, being much too disgusting to dwell upon or to ens. merate. Resolved-7, That it is the decided opinion of this meeting, that the overwhelming distress which now afflicts the suffering people, is wholly and solely to be attributed to acts of parliament sanctioned and passed by corrupt Houses of Comsnons not amen by, nor having any sympathy With, the people of England: aid chit it is in vain, nay that it is childish and delusive, to expect, or to bold out an opinion to the country, that these distresses will be so. Hewed till there is a real, an effectual, and a thorough Radical Re. -form in the Commons House of Parliament. Upon these resoltitiona, Mr. Wells, M.P. spoke at some length, and concluded by giving his support to them, and affirming that it was his conviction that no good to the nation could min, until these should take place a thorough reform in the House of Commons. This declaration was received with great cheering. After the several other speakers—namely, Sir Thomas ninon, Mr. abiploy, Mr. Dennison, M.P. Mr., Palmer, M.P. Mr. Ma. body, Mr. Maydweli, and Mr. Leach, bad spokes, all of whom ad. rained the necesdty of reknit and immediate reduction, a Petition to that offset was propmed by Mr. Leach, and carried unanimously. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCRLLOIES COURT. Maws 20. JUDGMENT.m-OILMIT V. GRANT. _ The VICE-Cumicsi-Loa pveLu i d lo gment in this case to.day, the queetlon in which arose under the wing circumstances At—ln the year 1772. Sir Alexander Grant made his will, by which he gave a legacy 6(3,0001. to his sons, Peter and James Grant, and 2,000/. to his son Charles Gant, directing that those legacies should not be considered as a release from any debt they mien owe him, but that such debt was to be deducted Item the hipse The payment of these legacies was charged by the testator en all his real and per. sonal estate, except an estate in Scotland, called Dolby. The lega cies were not to be paid till the expiration of seven years after the demise of the testator. On the 34 of August, 1772, the testator died, and Ludovioo Grant, as his heir, became entitled to the estate of Palby. Upon this occasion, Alexander Grant, the grandson of the testator, and eldest son of Ludovieo Orant, went to Jamaica as the agent of the executors of his grandfather. By a deed in 1774, James Orant assigned 7601. of his legacy to Sir H. Inglis, as a seen. rity for a debt ; he also assigned 7601. to a gentleman named Rus sell. By a deed on the 2d Jan. 1779, Peter Grant assigned his Is gacy to James, tedennable upon the payment of 4,00 In the month of Decanber,l7B7, C. Grant purchased an estate in the island of Jamaica, called Hopewell, from a gentleman named Douglas, for 10,0001. As a security for part of the purchase money, Chu. and Peter Grant executed what in effect turned out to be five bonds. On the 31st of July, 1778, Douglas, at the request of Charles Grant, filed a bill in Jamaica against the executors of the testator, and against aides, Peter, end James Grant, to obtain payment of the legacies, in discharge of the purchase money. On this muse being heard, a decree was pronounced for an account of what was due on the legacies. An appeal'was made from the effect of that dorms to the Ring in Connell. In 170 James and Peter Grant became bankrupts. In April, 1790, they obtained their certificates, and ultimately paid to Sir H. Inglis and Mr. Russell, what they had advanced. Sir Ludovieo Grant died in 1790, and Sir Alex ander Grant, the father of the present plaintif4 became entitled to the estate in Scotland. In 1793 Sir Alexander Grant contracted with the executors of Douglas for the purchase of the debt of 10,0001. and the bonds were assigned to Sir Alexander's agent._ Actions were brought in Jamaica on the beads—injunctions were obtained restraining the proceedings in that action. This order for an injunction upon an appeal to the Ring in Council was affirmed. Many other proceedings of a most complicated nature took place in the Courts of Jamaica relative to the accounts between the= almost all of which formed subjects of appeal to the Privy On the 14th of July, 1824, the present plaintiff, Sir Alexander Gray Grant, filed his bill for an account of all the money due in respect of the five bonds, and praying for a ne cleat Regno, to res. train Charles Grant from leaving the country. The principal question in the case was, in what manner the accounts relative to the complicated proceedings between these parties were to be taken, and from what period Sir Alexander Cray Grant was to have In. tweet calculated upon the five bonds ? His Honour was dearly of opinion upon the whole that the account ought to be taken, com puting interest upon the bonds, up to the time of making the Mas ter's report. SHERIEF'S COURT.-RED LION-SQUARE. On Saturday a Court of Compensation was held at this place, for the purpose of deciding on the value of certain houses in Shak. speare's.walk, leading to Badcliff-hiOway. These houses being required for the improvement of the London Docks, two cues in which Mr. itudall and Alr. Sidney Taylor appeared u Counsel for the plaintiffs to consent to the valuation put on the houses of Mr. Bigg, the surveyor, were first disposed of, and the Court then pro• ceeded to the consideration of the claim of a Mr. Gardiner, the lessee of the house marked No. 63, in the first schedule of the Act under which the improvements were to be made. Mr. ADAM and Mr. KEW'S appaind as Counsel for the plain. tiff, and Mr. Hutarsow and Mr. Pust.taisonte for the de. fendants. It appeared that the plaintiff carried on, in a retail way, the trade of a hat-maker; that he purchased raw silk, and made it up into shag, and then manufactured silk hats of various qualities, which he sold to the seamen and commanders of ships, principa lly in the coal trade. It was also proved that sometimes the persons from whom he bought the raw silks, purchased It again when it had been made up into silk shag, but there was no regular practice of bartering proved between them. The lease of the house was valued by the surveyors employed on the part of the plaintiff at 1151. and the total amount of profits on sales was stated at about 6401. per annum. This was the chief point in dispute between the parties. For the plaintiff it it was contended that these profits were the consequence of an es. tablished connection, which had been formed by the plaintiff having sold a cheap and good article ; and it was urged that, as he was now about to be turned out from the place where he had nurtured his business into its present prosperous maturity, he must lose all the benefits of his past exertions ; for that not cal would he be obliged to remove, but the same improvements whit caused his removal were causing that of other persons, by whose re commendations he had been supported, and that, in fact, his old connection would be totally dispersed, and he must be driven to form another. On the other side it was argued that all these sup posed evils arising from the plaintiff's removal, were unworthy at. tention, for that he might take a shop in a better situation in the same neighbourhood, and as this place was about to be much im proved, it was likely that his customers would increase rather than diminish. Besides, it was urged that he had lied another shop in the neighboarhood of Spitalfields, and that, as the sales of raw silk were applicable to both, the jury must remember that circumstance wht.n they came to determine the value of this business in Shalt speare's-walk. To prevent the effect of this observation two wit. maser were called, who deposed to having managed the plaintiff's business since he had held the shop in question, and who stated 261. a week as the av eng e of sales there. On their cross-examination, however, it appeared that they kept no regular books, but as the trade was a ready money trade, they put down the number of hats received into the shop, the number sold, the money received, and the commission due to them for the sales, upon slips of paper oe the shop slate ; that the plaintiff came there every Sunday morning and balanced the accounts, and then the week's vouchers were destroyed or obliterated, and they began a new account. It was argued, there fore, that as they only spoke from memory, and could give no pad dye proof of their assertions, their testimony was not much to be relied on. The Uxnra-Surairr left the whole case to the jury, who, af. ter retiring to consult for a short time, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damage', for his lease dOefoe his fixtures 384 and 1621. for the good-will, making together 2501. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, 21ancre 20. William Foulkes, late landlord of the (horse the Fourth, at Vauxhall, was opposed by a medkal student, named Hudson, and dlr. Evans, coach-builder, in Kinformeet, Holborn. Mr. Hudson, who is a vety young man, came to London from Yorkshire in the course of last year, to pursue his studies, and took up his abode at the insolvent's house. He deposited the whole of his money, 117/. in the insolvent's hands for safety, and at the end of six weeks, when he wished to have it returned, the Insolvent was unable to m ake up the amount by 211. Mr. Hudson then sued the insolvent for this sum, and he was put to great expense by the mode of defence the Insolvent adopted. Shortly be ore the case came on for trial, the insolvent disposed of his house for 2701. which be deposited in his brother's hands. Mr. Evans opposed the Insolvent for having obtained from him a stanhope, worth 251. which he immediately sold for 201. The CO3I3IIS6IONERS adjourned the ems in order that the insolvent's brother might attend, and intimd that the insolvent would be sentenced to a long hnprisonment. The Rev. Julys Jacobs Curate of Stoke Damsel, Devonport, was opposed by several creditors. It appeared that besides his curacy the Rev. Insolvent was a Surrogateof the Diocese of Exeter, and he also kept an academy. The latter establishment involved him in difficulties, and to extricate himself from them be agreed to appra priate, out of his income, 2001. a-year, until his debts, Width amounted to 1,600 L were discharged. He paid 2001. the first year, and finding his income would not enable him to continue paying so large a sum, he proposed reducing it to 10 0 1 . a-year. This Ms - ma. dimes would not agree to, and he applied to the Court for relief. The Canis ordered insolvent to be discharged, and directed 201. a-year to be paid out of his income, for the lictidation of his debm.

On Friday, Mr. Rodwell received his letter returned from the Post.eillice. on which was written, v. Refused to want o f nioney. ., Mr. Rodwell laid the letter before Mr. Conant on Saturday, at Bi n dbarwwgh.street, and stated that a man maned Hawser* was now under sentence of transportation in Warwick gaol, for defraud ring him of publications to the amount of SU by addressing his order from Warwick Castle, the seat of the Earl of Warwick.
