It is not our practice to aggravate the affliction of a family, by the exposure of circumstances that may have led to their distress, but in this instance conceal ment is impossible, as Mr. CLARK, one of the par ties implicated in the duel, must take his trial.— Mr. PAYNE was the younger son of the late RENE PAYNE, Esq. and lge left him his fortune, to the amount of 814,000 a year. ,In that settlement, by which the whole goes now to the eldest son of G eon.* PAYNE, except £5OO a year to his widow, and £lO,OOO to his younger children. Mr. PAYNE has left four children by his amiable wife, who was a Miss GRAY. The cause of the fatal duel is truly melancholy. The challenge took place, indeed, ten days ago, at Sear borough, but the quarrel was of a more distant date. The orphan daughter of the late Dr. CLARK, of Newcastle, was the friend of Mrs. PAYNE, and a visi tor in the family. An unfortunate attachment took place between Mr. PAYNE and Miss CLARK, and transpired, which the irritated feelings of the brother forced him to resent. Every means were tried by Mr. JOHN PAYNE, the elder brother of the deceased, to avert the catastrophe, but in vain. Mr. GEORGE PAYNE was most exemplary in all his conduct through life, except in this fatal attachment. He was a most liberal and a most amiable man. He had whispered to his second, Mr. ABBOTT, that be should not return Mr. CLARK'S fire ; but the first shot was mortal. Late on Thursday evening an inquest was held before Tnostas SHELTON, Esq. at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on view of the body of Ann Griffin, who died in consequence of wounds inflicted on her at her apartments, in Onslow-street, Saffron-hill, early on Wednesday morniug last, by her husband, Richard Griffin. It appeared in evidence that, on the preced ing Monday the deceased had absented herself from home during the whole of the night, and that search was made for her during the greater part of Tuesday, till about half past five o'clock, by her husband, his brother, and the brother's wife, when passing the end of Charter-house-lane, Smithfield, they met the deceased. They after wards went to a house in Long-lane, where they had some porter and sheep's heads for supper, and during the time they were there the deceased was observed to be very familiar with some young lads in the room, which so irritated her husbalid, that he threw the bone of a sheep'shead at her and gave her a black-eye. They then avetlt to Richard Griffin's lodgings, where he and his wife laid down on the bed. In a few minutes Richard Griffin got up and went hastily out of the room, say ing " I have done it ;" and it was almost immediately discovered that her throat was cut.

SRPTEMSER 7. • HARRICON V. HART AND REALEY. • This was an action to recover R 5. ss. 9J which the Plaintiff contended the Defendants kid rendered themselves liable to pay, under the following circum stances : The Plaintiff is an Undertaker, and the demand was for the funeral of a boy, who was some time since killed by a cart belonging to a gentleman named Moore. The parties formed part of the Jury at the Inquest, and whilst they were dei)itting the amount of deodand, a message was received from Mr. Moore, expressing his sorrow for the accident, and his readiness to pay the expences of the funeral, &c. In consequence of that declaration the Jury fixed the fine at RS, although they had previously deter mined it should be £lO, and it was suggested tl)at the Plaintiff should perform the funeral. Mr. Moore, however, being unknown to the Plaintiff, he was not very willing to do it on his credit, upon which the Defendants desired him to bury the child " and they would see him paid," he accordingly did so, and after the funeral took his bill to Mr. Moore, who objecting to the charge as exorbitant, refused to pay it, and de sired him to go to those who employed hi n. Upon applying to the Defendants, however, thq also re fused to pay !Ain, alledging they had not bound them selves to pay, but merely to see him pail by Mr. Moore. "l'he Magistrate informed the prisoner, that his duty was to commit him for feloniously aiding and abet tin; in the escape of Roberts and Harper, and he di rected a warrant.of committal to be made out ac cordingly. bir..Hmtm tN, the prisoner's solicitor, suggested - to the Magistrate, that, in order to chew the innocence of his client, liarpar should he found ; and the efFec ttial_way to do that -would be to get a p4tdon from the Secretary of State's office, and that the prisoner's friends would Mier a reward. The Learned Juige, after severely anim tdvertiug on the conduct of the Coroner who presided at the inquest for permitting surli a perversion of the oath taken by Jurymen, as had existed on the present oc casion—namely, reducing the fine, which the law had wisely made arbitrary in ca , •es like the present, for the purpose of forwarding a job, from which the plaintiff, one of the Jurymen, wasio derive some pro. tit, proceeded to recapitulate the evidence, and oh. served, that the statute of frauds would preveat the plaintiff from recovering. The defendants had merely said they would see the plaintiff paid, but the statute of frauds had wisely provided, that no person should be bound to make good defaults in the payments of others, unless they had hound themselves so to do by a written document given under their own hand. No such writing existed in the present case, and there fore the plaintiff was not entitled to recover. The Any immediately returned a verdict for the defendants. Tne Magistrate declined any such interference. Mr. Ilaumax then criestioned the propriety of a cornmttal for felony tinder all t'ie circomstances of the case; but if the Magistrate so decreed it, he would solicit for bail. Mr. CONANT observed, that there had been great s'ipineness in the conduct of Avis, the Governor, and his sons; no step having been taken by them to search alter die prisoners, as was their duty. Mr. Kay qhserved, that if a prisoner had escaped for stealing a pint pot, the town would hive b•en in an uproar, it d he would soon have been had. Mr. HALMAN eninvoured to excuse Mr. Aris, by the County Magistrates having taken on them the inquiry. The Magistrate gave Mr. Harman the choice of having his client flied at the Octolwr Sessions, in stead of the Sessions ensuing, when there would be t;me for seeking Harper ; but au early ti ial was re quested. The prisoner was committed I.)e trial, but he will be brought up again. COLDBATH-FIELD PRISON. Daniel Aris underwent another examination yes terday, at Marlborough-street Office, befv.re N.
