The adjourned meeting of the proprietors of this company was held Ito-day, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, to receive the report of the committee of investiga tion appointed to examine into the million and prospects of the company. The chair was taken at one o'clock by J. R. Campbell, Esq. SPORTING NOTES. Mr. BARER, the chairman of the committee of investi gation, then read the report as follows : Gentlemen,—The committee of investigation appointed by you at the adjourned general meeting, on the 17th ultimo, before reporting the result of their labours, deem it their duty to express their sincere and deep regret for the severe loss this company has sustained by the untimely death of Captain Harrison ; and they hope the shareholders will pass a resolution marking the high estimation in which he was held by them. Your committee have to lament that they lost in Captain Harrison a material wit ness. They have since their appointment been constantly engaged in prosecuting their inquiries, and have examined a great number of persons; but, from their want of power to obtain evidence under the sanction of legal process, and to compel the attendance of witnesses, the information they have obtained has been so conflicting or ex-parte, that your committee do not feel sessrranted in passing a judgment which may either exon era t e or i mp l ica t e any ndividual connected with the management of your affairs. At the same time they have sufficient grounds to arrive at the conclusion, that your interests require that they should be intrusted to an entirely new board, selected with the view of conciliating the hitherto antagonistic elements in your organisation. The committee strongly recommend the alteration of your articles of association, in such manner as will abolish the office of managing directors ; and they concur in the opinion that the number of directors should be limited to seven. They take the liberty of recommending that the seats in the dire c ti on b e offered to—The Marquis of Stafford, Captain C. E. Mangles, Hen. Thos. Hope, Esq , Samuel Baker, Esq., the Hon. Captain Carnegie, lt.N. J. Rodney Croskey, Esq., an d D an i e l G ooc h , E sq. Your committee are of opinion that Mr. Magnus, in his opposi tion to the eontracts entered into with Mr. J. Scott Russell, and in his application for an inquiry, was influenced by a conscientious desire to forward the interests of the company. Considering that the Great Eastern should be placed, with out loss of time, in a condition to earn a dividend for the pro prietors, and that for this purpose further capital is abso lutely necessary, your committee recommend that the directors be authorised to borrow any sum or sums of money not exceeding £50,000 in the whole, in addition to the moneys already owing by the company ; that the nominal capital of the company be increased from £330,000 to £430,000; and that full powers be vested in the board to raise, by mort gage, debentures, preference shares, or otherwise, su c h addi tional capital, iinecessary. It is not anticipated by your committee, that the whole of this sum will be required. It must be recollected that a large sum is claimed under the arbitration now pending with Mr. J. Scott Russell, and the result should be advantageous to the company. Your com mittee desire to claim your especial attention to the position in which the Great Eastern is now placed. She lies in Southampton Waters, requiring an estimated outlay of not more than £30,000 to send her en a voyage to America, equipped, in accordance with the just requirements of the Board of Trade. Her cost to the proprietors will then be about £380,000, fitted for sea, which is less than £l7 per ton. The Great Eastern is acknowledged to be the finest specimen of naval architecture that has yet floated. Her qualities as a sea boat have been proved ; her speed, although not fully tested, has exceeded that of the largest class of steam ships against a head wind. Under united and energetic management she must become profitable to you, and reflect honour upon her original projectors. Your committee can not believe that this great nautical experiment will be allowed to languish for want of the comparatively small 811111 now required. In conclusion, your committee strongly recommend to the new Board a more careful economy both at the company's offices and on board the ship They feel it is due to the directors to state that every facility has been afforded by them and by their secretary during the investigation. THE SEASON INAUGURATED. The programme of the racing season is now placed fairly before the sporting public, and it must be regarded with considerable satisfaction. It promises not only an abun dance of sport, but also many stirring incidents. New and important two and three-year-old races have been esta blished, and they are already ex siting much interest and attention. The prospects of sport at Newmarket were never more cheering, and the Jockey Club is likely to reap a full harvest of prosperity from the seeds of reform which they scattered sparingly at first, but which they at last dis tributed with no niggardly hand. At the Epsom Spring two days' meeting will be held instead of one ; the City and Suburban being run for on the first day, and the Metropolitan and the new two-year-old race established by the liberality of Mr. Carew on the second day. The Northampton list is strengthened, and the York Spring maintains its attractions unimpaired. Next week as excellent meeting will take place at Lincoln, and alreany the principal Handicap is spe culated upon with some eagerness. Mr. Newcome's levees daily become more numerous, and his morning perusal of the Times is becoming so frequently interrupted that he will soon have to abandon that recreation altogether. He is now being much troubled about the Slough events, but at present he is feeling his way with caution. By-the-bye, nearly all persons seem agreed that Mr. Topham's venture at Sleigh is likely to be attended with success, and I earnestly wish it may, for the Cestrian C. C. has not received much en couragement in his attempts to provide sport in the vicinity of London. I trust that on this occasion he may receive some compensation for his large outlays and many disap • pointments. As the promised sport is being discussed with much curiosity, I will briefly refer to the probabilities. Should the Huntsman be sent for the Military Steeple chase, the horses he is likely to meet will have little chance with him. The Slough Plate will, perhaps, go to either Mr. Barling or Ben Land. Omar Pacha and Bibworth Lass are most to my Blasi; for the Metropolitan Handicap. Both Congreve and King William are well enough in, but as they are backed for the Grand National, I am doubtful whether they will make the trip to Slough. For the Rail way Plate I shall select the Premier. SAM. BAKER. Jos. RODNEY CROSHEY. Tuos. R. T. HODGSON. HENRY TH. HOPE. He then went on to remark that the committee had, no doubt, laid itself open to the inference, if not the accusation, of net fully acting up to the minute of the last meeting, with respect to entering at length into the past position of the company, but after taking evidence to the extent at 1,200 folios, the committee had unanimously agreed to the report just received. The object of greatest importance was the obtaining means of completing the ship, and if the pro prietors went forward as a united body no difficulty would be found, but the great thing to guard against was dis union. The proprietors trust select proper persons to manage their affairs, and if the gentlemen recommended in the re port, or any other number of gentlemen was determined upon, he well knew they would have no bed of roses. The committee had come to the conclusion that the ship could be completed for a sum of £30,000, and they did not think that their great experiment should be allowed to languish for so small a sum. After the ship had been completed, the *ex t question would be how was she to be employed. The committee had come to the conclusion that after she was completed the first, or experimental trip, should be to America—(hear, hear)—but the ultimate de cision as to the station of the great ship would be left to others to decide. Before he resumed his seat he must allude to the gentlemen who had for some time past directed the affairs of the company —(hear, hear)--and he was happy to state that no dishonourable imputation could rest upon them. (Hear, hear.) They had thrown 110 diffi culty in the way of the committee, hut, on the contrary, all seemed to have been animated with but one desire—the success of the company. (Hear, hear.) He would there fore resume his seat by simply moving the adoption of the report. WK. NiciroLsox. J. G. TAYLOR. HENRY J. A. Goxz. The movements in the turf market have not been charac terized by much importance, for, although the reporters have been enabled to compile long lists of quotations, yet they have been compelled to acknowledge that a large ma jority of the outlays have been very insignificant. Long range maintains his position in the Chester Cup betting, and he is entitled to it. With the exception of him and Promised Land I have no very exalted notion of the animals that occupy the foremost places in the list of quo tations. Viatka was generally pronounced a " good thing," when the weights were first published, but she has not been supported with sufficient spirit to induce me to entertain that belief. Satellite had some reputation last year, and it is now said that he will prove himself worthy of it. The Brewer and Tame Deer have no attrac tions for me. Rattlebone has wintered well, and Mr. T. Parr may trust him with his money. Herne, at 6st 101 b, must not be slighted. Bastion is game to the back bone, and will run well, but I do not think him good enough to win. The Squire is certainly turned loose, and must show in front. Amongst the three-year-olds Rising Sun should certainly receive some attention. From William Day's for midable team, Bye Ways may lead the way to success. These are, however, merely a few random notes which I have jotted down in the order in which they were suggested to me. For THE CITY AND SUBURBAN, Nucleus, Fitz-Roland Paleface, and Croquemetaine are most to my fancy. THE METROPOLITAN is somewhat puzzling, for I scarcely know how to make a selection. Of the top weights Newcastle and Magnum are most to my liking ; and of the three-yrs-olds I have a decided preference for Paleface. I have merely briefly referred to the leading handicaps, but there is ample time to enter into an elaborate discussion of them. The only material change which has been made of late in the Derby betting has been the deprivation of Umpire of the premiership by Mainstone and the retrogression of 13ticcaneer. More important movements will, however, it is expected, be made in a few days. A FRESH MAN. Leamington, Feb. 6. THE SUNDAY TIMES' RACING RECORD.—The success which we predicted for this little work when it was first established has been fully realised, for it is now the recog nised turf handbook, and is in the possession of all racing men. The sixth weekly part is now beforo us and an enu meration of its contents will at once shew the value of the work. It contains a list of races to come, a record of races past from the Ist January, up to and inclusive of the Abeys worth Steeple Chases, a programme of Slough Steeple Chases, the acceptances for the leading spring handicaps, with owners and trainers names attached ; a comparative table of the acceptances alphabetically arranged, and a most invaluable tabular list of betting from which, at a glance, the most recent changes in the market can be seen. In addition to these features the book contains many items of intelligence ; it is neatly printed, of a convenient size, and its cheapness must command for it a large and deserved circulation. Mr. JACKSON said, before the motion for the adoption of the report was agreed to, he should like to know whether such a step would imply the election of the gentlemen men tioned therein as directors. Mr. NICHOLSON, one of the committee of investigation, seconded the report. Mr. JACKSON repeated his question. Mr. BAKER—Certainly not. _ _ _ _ Mr. MALtits complained of the publication in the news papers of the report of Llcyd's surveyor, which was never meant to be made public, but was intended solely for the consideration of the directors. One of the main questions to be considered was whether the ship was a good one or not ? (Hear.) The former efforts of Mr. Brunel—the Great Britain—which stood the whole of a winter on the sands of Dundrum Bay, and then came off nearly uninjured, spoke much in favour of the Great Eastern, Then, with respect to regaining the confidence of the pub lic, it was of the highest importance that such should be regained as speedily as possible, and he thought the best way to do that was to engage the highest naval autho rity in the world—the surveyor of the British navy, Sir Baldwin Walker —and let hint say whether the ship was fit to go to sea complete in every respect or not. (Hear, and cheers) The first trip of the ship should be to America. That was a thing easily managed, but the permanent station ought to be one for a long voyage. The ultimate destination° I the ship ought to be India, and the experiments that had been made proved she could perform the voyage in 40 days; and if that could be done by one ship, why not by more ? That which was now called the overland route would fall into disuse, and England would be rendered independent of the whole world in her communication with her Indian empire. (Cheers.) Ile was of opinion that the ship was a good one—(hear, hear)—and - that with prudent management she would prove successful. (Cheers.) The Chairman was then about to put the adoption of the report, when Mr. TAYLOR entered into a statement of the: cause that had led him to agree to the report, which was the import ance of unanimity. There were many things the committee had learned that would be interesting to the meeting to know with respect to a number of contracts entered into ; but he would not disturb the unanimity of the meeting. The committee, in the course of their investigation, had met nothing contrary to the integrity of the directors. [We shall continue the report in our latest edition.] • ' SPECIMENS OF YANKEE RUMOUR. (From Wit and liiimour.) Four fast young men, the sons of gentlemen of wealth, were b*ught before Cuurt in New Orleans as common rowdies. The judges inquired what their bad course of life could be ascribed to. Most probably to their four fathers. " Steel your heart," said a considerate father to his son, "for you are going now among some fascinating girls."-- "I bad much rather steal theirs," said the unpromising young man. Compliments, carried to an extravagant extent, become rude offences. There is a material difference between prettily asking for a lock of hair, and taking the whole scalp. A. sceptic thinks it very extraordinary that an us once talked like a man. Isn't it still more extraordinary that thousands of men are continually talking like asses ? A popular author exclaims, " What a pity some quadru peds can't talk !" Wo are rather disposed to say, " What a pity some bipeds can I" Dull writers should be careful not to steal brilliant pas sages, lest the brilliancy betray them by the contrast. A fellow stole a fish in the market-place and slipped it under his vest. A gentleman meeting him, as he passed out, and seeing several inohes of the tail below his vest, advised him either to wear a longer jacket or to steal a shorter fish. There is a man in Exeter whose memory is so short that it only roaches to his knees. Per consequence, he has not paid for his last pair of bogs. The editor of the Eastern Argus is melancholy in his re flections upon the close of the year. He says he shall soon be lying in his grave. When he gots there it will be time for hire to stop lying. The ruling passion is often strong in death, but seldom after it. The editor of the Globe says that he "hopes to reach the truth." He is laying out for himself a long journey. He had better make his will before he starts. The editor of the Star says that he has never mur dered the truth, He never gets near enough to do it any bodily harm. A democratic editor in Ohio, whose paper is as dingy and dirty as if manufactured from the unwashed rags of his own back, abuses us at a terrible rate. We should imagine his daily beverage must be aqua fortis stirred up with a light ning rod. There is a Sag-Nichts editor in Mississippi, very dirty in his personal habits, who never holds a political opinion 24 hours. He shifts oftenor than he shirts. The editor of the New Orleans Republican says that he it rarely takes the air." The fellow seems very sparing in the use of the elements—taking the air seldom and water never. A democratic editor in Indiana threatens to handle us without gloves." We would certainly never think of handling him without at least three pair, and thick ones at that. A certain editor, who has had a controversy with us sug gests that ke and we look each other in the face. But he w 0 :11:1 have the advantage of us; he would have much the better prospect. TATTERSALL'S-YINTBRDAY. The room was tolerably well attended, but notwith standing the "leviathan" list of quotations, business was any thing but vigorously pursued. Tho only movements in the course of speculation exciting any interest were the strong demonstrations made against Buccaneer and Nut bonnie for the Derby, the former receding to 14 to 1, and the latter to 20 to 1 offered. Mainstone was decidedly first favourite, at 10 to 1 taken freely; while the American colt was only feebly supported at those odds. Thormanby was not in good odour, and friendless in the early part of the afternoon; he was at last backed for £lOO at 12 to 1.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. CHURCH RATES, A number of petitions were presented against the aboli tion of church rates. WINDING-UP ACTS. The LORD CHANCELLOR introduced a bill for the regulation and winding-up of joint. stock companies. It was substantially the same as the two bills already agreed to. Its object was to consolidate all the laws at present in existence on the subject. The bill was read a first time. COUNTY CCITRTS. Lord BROUGHAM called the attention of the house to the subject of county courts, and wished their limits to be increased. The noble lord explained the powers at present possessed by them, and cited the number of cases tried. He also threw out a suggestion for the consideration of their lordships as to whet her it would not be advisable to ex tend the equitable as well as the legal jurisdiction to sums exceeding £oo, The noble and learned lord concluded by moving tin some returns to show the number of plaints en• tared for sums between £4O and £5O for the years 1858-o. The returns were ordered RIFLE CORPS. In reply to Lord VivrAN, Earl de GREY and RIPON said the Government highly appreciated the patriotic motives that had actuated those who had come forward for volunteer service. The corps had been constituted in such a wanner as to give hopes that they would form a valuable addition to the defences of the country. It was, however, undesirable that the volun teer corps should be allowed to become a charge upon the revenue. The present Government had gone further than the late Government intended to go in assisting those corps. All the corps had been supplied with a full compliment of rifles, and it was not thought desirable to furnish them with ciothing. It was intended to assist the volunteers, in order that they might obtain the services of paid adjutants. The number at present embodied amounted to between 60,000 and 70,000 men. With respect to the volunteer artillery, the Government intended further assist ance, but they did not intend to pay the men for their drill. The drilling for both corps was attractive, but to pay the volunteers would be to oppose the principle on which the corps W.lB raised. Lord WENSLEYDALE asked whether it was intended by the Government to pay the drill sergeants ? Earl DE GREY said the Government intended to allow tho time of non-commissioned officers engaged in drilling volunteer corps to count as time for pension, but expenses attending the engagement of those persons must, as at pre sent, still be borne by the respective volunteer regiments. THE ANNEXATION OF SAVOY. Lord NORMANBY stated the precise terms of the mo tion which stood in his name for to-morrow evening with respect to the alleged project for the annexation of the duchies of Nice and Savoy to the dominions of the Emperor of the French. COURT OF CHANCERY BILL. This bill, after a few observations from the LORD CHAN CELLOR and Lord CEANwoRTu, was read a second time. THE TREATY WITH FRANCE. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE asked whether the ac count given in the Independence Beige of the Government treaty was correct. Earl GRANVILLE said had the noble lord given him due notice he, no doubt, would have been in a position to have given him a satisfactory answer. With respect to the statement in the Independenceßeige, he could give him no information, as he did not take that paper in, nor had he seen the statement alluded to. The delay in laying the terms of that treaty before the public was occasioned by the postponement of the financial statement of his hon friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Earl DERBY said he could not acquiesce in the state ment relative to the postponement in making the terms of this treaty known to the public. The making of the terms known would, no doubt, take the gloss off the honour able gentleman's statement ; but the treaty possessed both a political as well as a commercial importance. ST. GEORGE'S-IN-THE-EAST. Earl DERBY said to-morrow he should ask the Go vernment whether they had taken any steps to put an end to the disgraceful proceedings that have now b een go i ng on for some time in the pari s of St. George's-in -the-East. It was of the highest importance that these disgraceful scenes should be speedily put an end to. Lord BROUGHAM entirely agreed with the noble earl that such proceedings should be immediately checked. PRIVATE BUSINESS, The following bills were read a second time --The Bel fast and County Down, the Belfast and Ballymena, the Caledonian (Branch to Lanark), Caledonian (Lesmahagow Branch), Dublin and Drogheda, Inverness and Ross-shire, Keith and Dufftown, Limerick and Ennis, Monkland, Symington, Bigger, and Broughton Railways, Wellington Suspension Bridge, Commercial Dock's Acts Amendment, Medway Valley Water, the Great Ship Company, Dublin and Wicklow, and Waterford and Limerick Railways. Their lordships then adjourned, HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time :—Bedford and Cambridge Railway, Brighton improvement, Buck ley and Connah's Quay (Flintshire) Rail way, Cannock Chase Railway, Chard Railway, Ely N'alley Railway, Epping Railways (Dunmow Extension), Galway Harbour, Glas gow Corporation Water, Ifedon Corporation and Borougk Improvement, Liskeard and Caradon Railway, London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (Metropolitan Extensions), Lower King's Ferry Road, Ness and Beauly Fisheries, South London Railway (No. 1), Thurso Fisheries, at ford, Rickmansworth, and Uxbridge Railway, West Cork Railways, West Somerset Railway, Wigan 'Water, Wim bourne Minster and Blandford Forum Road. Several private bills were read a first time. PETITIONS. _ . Petitions were presented in favour of Parliamentary re form, from Southampton; for an inquiry into the grievances complained of by the shipping interest in this country; for the abolition of the paper duty, &c. NAVY ESTIMATES. Lord C. PAGET laid on the table the Navy Estimates. THE ILLNESS OF THE CHANCELLOR OF TIIE EXCHEQUER. Lord PALMERSTON said that the house was probably aware of the illness of his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which rendered him unable to bring for ward his financial statement this evening, according to the arrangement that had been previously made and commu nicated to hon. members. However, he was happy to state that there was every reason to believe that his right hon. friend would be able to bring forward his statement on Friday next. Mr. DISRAELI wished to ask the noble lord (Pal merston) whether it was the intention of Govern ment to lay before the house the commercial treaty with France, to which the attention of the country at present was so earnestly directed. Lord PALMERSTON said that the treaty would not be laid before the house until the Chancellor of the Exche quer made his financial statement on Friday evening. (Cries of " Oh, oh," from the Opposition benches.) PACKET AND TELEGRAPHIC CONTRACTS. Capt. L. VERNON said that in consequence of the ill ness of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, ho would post pone his motion which stood on the paper for to-morrow in reference to this subject. ANNEXATION OF NICE AND SAVOY. Div. KINGLAKE gave notice of a motion for the production of the correspondence which had taken place between our Government and France with regard to the alleged intention of the latter power to annex Nice and Savoy. LIGHT DUES. Mr. RIDLEY moved for returns of receipts from light dues from the year 1853 to 1858, both inclusive; of reduction■ made in dues during the above years, showing the per centage of reduction on foreign-going and coasting vessels respectively; the estimated amount of each of such reductions on the total receipts, and the effect of such reductions on the payments made by the above mentioned class of vessels respectively; of expendi ture on lighthouses in the United Kingdom for the above years, distinguishing the ordinary expenditure for the maintenance of lighthouses and the extraordinary expenditure for the building of new lighthouses, and of the balance now standing to the account of the mercantile fund.—Ordered. MANNING THE NAVY. Mr. HORSFALL asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether it was the intention of the Government to carry out the recommendation of the Manning Commission, as to placing 12 school ships at the principal commercial ports ; and, it so, the probable time that wouid elapse before the scheme might be in operation ? Lord C. PAGET said that at present, it was not proposed to carry out the scheme alluded to, on the ground of the expense with which it would be attended. WAKEFIELD AND GLOUCESTER ELECTIONS. Mr. HUNT moved for an address for return of the names of the persons to whom ce.tificates of indemnity had been granted by the Wakefield and Gloucester Bribery Commis sioners respectively.—Ordered. THE DISTURBANCES IN ST, GEORGE'S-IN- THE-EAST. In reply to Mr. BTNG, Sir C. LEWIS said that he objected to the phraseology used by the hon. member in speaking of the: disturbances which had taken place in St. George's-in-the-East last evening, which he designated an outrage. The measures which he had instructed Sir Richard Mayne to take had been found efficient in preventing any serious outbreak taking place. He regretted that the incumbent should have persevered in a mode of religious ceremony which was so displeasing to his parishioners. (Hear, hear.)

Mr. COBBETT asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Ministers to introduce any measure during the present session to alter the law as regarded the payment of coroners' fees and expenses. Sir G. C. LEWIS said there was considerable inconve nience experienced by coroners, in consequence of the present state of the law on the subject, and it was his intention to bring in a bill to allow coroners to appeal to the Court of Queen's Bench in reference to the payment of their fees and expenses. The Customs Acts Bill went through committeo. The Probate and Administration (India) Bill went through committee. The Prisons (Scotland) Acts Continuance Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed.

The New Orleans Delta relates a horrible story: Colonel Peck, a member of the State Legislature, and a Mr. C. N. Harris had had a quarrel about a year ago. They both accidcntally happened to be staying at the St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, on the 12th of January. Colonel Peck and a friend were pushing their way through a crowd after dinner, when Mr. Harris, who was unknown to the friend of Colonel Peck, turned round and asked if I hey intended to insult him by pushing against him. Colonel Peck's friend replied politely that no one intended to insult him. }Janis, while asking the question, looked at Colonel Peck, who at once re cognised him. Harris, after the answer given by Colonel Peck's friend, and looking directly at Peck, said, as he placed his hand in his pocket, to the latter. " D—n you, you did intend to insult me." Harris, the moment he finished speaking, drew a pistol and fired at Peck, who was in the act of placing his hand in his side pocket for his pistol. After firing and missing his aim, Ilarrii turned and ran through the crowd. A short while after this affray Harris was arrested for disturbing the peace of the St. Charles Hotel by firing a pistol in the Rotunda, and locked up. When he was arrested he had in his room a revolver, a Derringer pistol, and a bowie-knife, which were also taken to the station house. He was arraigned before Recorder Summers, and fined 20 doll., upon paying which his weapons mr. were handed b ac k to hi m. N ext day Peck con fronted Harri s :Bayne,as iohad j paying just t hie a nd hotel ed m bil a l r . ri T s h a e clerk, 111 r. ten-dollar bill in change, rays that Peek looked for about a quarter of a minute at Harris, then a few words passed which he did not hear, and both drew about the same moment, and fired, but he thinks Col. Peck shot first. Others state that as Colonel Peck advanced towards Harris the latter asked him if he intended taking advantage of him; that Peck replied, " You took advantage of me yesterday. I am armed, and I suppose you are ;" that both then drew, some say that Peck shot a little in advance, some say that Harris shot first, and others that the reports were simult aeons. Another version of the affair is that Peck asked Harris if he was armed, and he, avoiding the question, replied, " I am not prepared to have a difficulty with you here, and I wish you would leave me ;" and that both drew at once. The firing having commenced, Harris retreated, and finally dodged into the door of the small bar and cigar -room, and shielding him self partly behind the glass door, looked out and fired from time to time. Peck, while Harris re treated, stepped out from the office, and fired seve ral shots—three of which took effect upon the per son of Harris—and was in that position when he was fired at from the room. Exhausting his pistol, Peck drew his bowie-knife and advanced delibe rately toward the door of the cigar-shop, from be hind which Harris had shot and seethed to hesitate a moment whether to enter. The next moment Har ris fired at the open doorway, the ball of his pistol entering the side or jamb of the door. After firing the last shot, Harris ran back just as Peek entered the door and got over the marble counter of the bar, and into a corner among the bottles. Peek fol lowing, sprang over after him, and grasping hold of him, inflicted upon his person four stab wounds with the bowie-knife. Harris was picked up and placed on the floor for a few moments, and then carried to his room near by, expiring almost the moment he VMS placed upon his bed. The excitement was very in tense, and most of the crowd got out of the way at the first firing. Some got behind pillars, others ran into the passages leading to the dining-room and ladies' parlour, and not a few, thiz.king it too late to fly, made shields of the chairs. A group of gen tlemen were standing conversing immediately in a line with the shot from Harris, which lodged in the wall a few feet above their heads. Harris received the following wounds :—One shot wound in the right shoulder, two stab wounds in the left shoulder, one stab wound in the left arm, one stab wound in the left side, between the fifth and sixth ribs, pene trating the lungs; one shot wound in the right side, between the seventh and eighth ribs, pene trating the liver. The two wounds last above men tioned were the immediate cause of death. One shot wound in the breast, between the first and second ribs, Peck was arrested immediately after the murder.
