Warder !..4rette, Macintosh. On the evening, after the challenge was sent, the landlord of Macintosh, who is a tailor, applied to Lavender, the attend at Chalk Farm ; the Officer, after hearing all the cirenm stances, thought them too contemptible to attend to, but the landlord was sa much alarmed for his friend, that he agreed to reward him liberally if he would attend. Lavender called upon Macinio-h, to know the cause of his courage failing, when his defence w as,' that there was a mistake in the time, and that he had been to Chalk Farm tut hour before tne time he bad ap pointed in his note. The account I en by Mr. M`rettery for his non-ottendance was, that his w ife had not given him the challenge till after the time had es pi red, w hen he a pplied at the Oilice for a warrant ta.;ainst the tailor.

The parties iave since been brought together and reconciled. On Monday, information was received at the office, that two Gentlemen were going to fight a duel at Chalk Farm, in conse quence of which, Itivett and Adkins were dispatched to take them into custody. The Officers could not meet them in the coerce of the evening, and went to Chalk Farm in the warning, ' hut no mighty combatants appeared. Upon inquiry, it wasdis covered that they were two foreigners. Sandoz, a journeyman jeweller, who lodges in Princes-street, • Soho, and Dubois, a journeyman watchcase-maker, who lodges ill liat"man's build ings. It is supposed that their friends learnt that the Miters were in pursuit of them, on Monday evening, got them together, and made them shake hands.—The Officers, however, appre hended Sandoz, on Thursday evening, and took him before Mr. Head, who made him give bail to keep the peace, himself in 1001. and two sureties of 50/. each. • ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, &c. At one o'clock on Friday morning, as the watchman was going his rounds, he discovered a fire in the office of Mr. ('ox, copper-plate printer, of Bream's buildings, Chancery-lane.— The office was situated in a narrow place called Bowl and Pin alley, at the rear of the buildings, and there is not a single tire plug in either of those places, or several other little courts and alleys that surround it. A small engine from reached the scene of alarm and terror shortly after the accident was discovered ; and the neighbours kindly and humanely fur nished it with water from the little reservoirs which they had for domestic use. Before three o 'clock some of the en7ines beloug ing to the regular Fire Offices arrived. Mr. Cox's office, how ever, and the workshop of Mr. Lumley, a carpenter adjoining, were entirely consumed; the Old Swan, Bream s-buildings, :tad several smaller houses received partial injury.

ACCIDENT.—On Friday evening, about seven o'clock, as the Earl of Paulet and his son, the 114)11. Captain l'aulet, were taking a ride in his Lordship's pimeton in Hyde park, the horses took fright and ran uway with the vehicle. Captain I'. in endeavouring to check the impetuosity . of their career, broke the reins. The horses, when they arrived near the new bridge, ran against the wooden railing w Well separates Rotten-row from the foot path, which they carried away com pletely. By the concussion Lord Partici and his sun were thrown out of the carriage with a considerable deg ree of velo city. The tiers animals then dashed along moil t they came to the Serpentine River, into which they would have undoubtedly plunged head-long, .had it not been for the presence of mind and spirited conduct of Mr. nodding, of II eurietta - street, w Ito was in his baronche with his had). Mr. I). on percei‘iug the direction which the horses were taking, drove- his car riage so as to bring his cattle in contact with those of Lord. l'anlet's and at the moment when their destruction appeared iwyitable, they were preserved,, The horses n :re then secured by the bye-standers. lord l'aulet, be inh much bruised by the fall, was conveyed to his house in Stratford-place, in Mr. Durbling'v carriage.
