FRANCE. The Union has the following, to show that only monarchical institutions will suit the great mass of the French nation : " There is a policy which is of all timreo and which h as survived alltbe regimes--namely,i that which is sup ported on morality and history, that which remains to us; and it is not the least instructive and the least fruit -fut in lessons. What astonishing changes since 'B9! We have more than onera declared that French common sense had been misled by the illusions of the Republic, and we can now ask with confidence if our appreciations were not correct. But what a sad moral is to be drawn from our sixty yaws of struggles and misfortunes! These sanguinary cries could then have been avoided, had not the national instinct been falsified ! Who can doubt it? For that, what was necessary was to have seized on the revolution and governed it ; and, w hil s t th e ma d men desired to make it a destruction, the wise and strong ought to have made it a refor m . Th e wor d repu bli c , flung into this violence of renovation, completed the ‘nradnesa. Are we a nation of repnb!icans ? Vain and 'selfish 33 we are as a nation, are we capable of support ing equality ? Equality ! who wishes for it ? Or do we want liberty ? We o pp ress eac h ot h er on ever y occa sion, and we with pride support only servitude. What could be more silly than for the dreamers of the last sixty years to wish to place us in a republic ? We, an old peo ple, a people moulded to all the habits of su b o rdination ; a people having a monarc hi ca l hi s tory, and the passion of whom is to shine ; a people tormented, besides, by the want of enjoyment, fond of luxury , revelling in the emotions of the theatre or the last novel—can Fuela a people do without being governed—without an authority to regulate its doings ? Besides, where was there ever seen any republic lik e th a t proposed in our days ? In 1804 the Republi c g ave Em peror, and anmperor, and in 1852 what has become of it ? That Republic, therefore, is quite a utopian scheme, which can only de stroy and is unable to last. But in what does the illu sion of the honest abettors of the Republic consist? In this, that they su ppose that what was sound in the re forms of 89 can only be realised by the abolition of every form of monarchy. These exce ll ent re f ormers hove never read the history of France, for if they had they wou ld have known that in th e F renc h monarc hy there has constantly been more of real republicanism than was ever seen in the no m i na l R e p u blic instituted by the demolishers of '9l. They search the chronicles of the various reigns, and find disorders. misery, and scandal! Really! that is a great miracle! Is not hu manity at all times humanity? And are these austere republicans themselves saints or heroes? That monar chical institutions have had their convulsions,oppressions, end injustices is not by any means astonishing; but, notwithstanding all that, the monarchy is not less in France the work of kings during long ages for the li berty of the people. The fatal error, since 'B9, was to cut short that long labour which, of its own accord, was arriving at all necessary reforms. In taking away the monarchy, the instrument of liberty, order, and happiness was taken away also. And that is the reason why the instinct of the nation tends incessantly to bring back the Constitution to its natural principle, even when falling into an error es to the form to ba given to it. That is the whole explanation of the success sive revolutions which we have seen in this country 1 And what lessons are there not in all these changes ? The most a:tonfshing, is to see the inutility of so many efforts, and so much violence and crime, to change the nature of the laws cuitable to Franco. The truth is, that it is Providence which appears in these striking protests against the fictions of the republic ; and it is Providence, which we ought all to adore, confiding in its wisdom to evolve from this reaction not only order, but the liberty and dignity of the country." It is rumoured that an Imperial Guard of 10,000 men, to be formed from the select battalions of the army, will be organised soon after the imperial elec tion. The title of "Excellence" has, it appears, be come already usual in the dispatches transmitted from one Minister to another. It is curions that amongst the numerous addresses from Municipal Councils to the President not the least warm are those which proceed from localities known as Legitimist. That from Maur (Deuxe- Sevres) begins thus :—" We open to you the gates of the department of the Deux-Sevres, the limit of that Vendtif., the chiefs of which your ability has succeeded in attaching to your cause. In other times also your glorious uncle found amongst their fathers, alter having vanquished their proved cou rage, the auxiliaries of his glory, &c." From Pringay, too, in the same department, the address of the Municipal Council concludes thus :—" Con solidate your work, Prince ; make yourself Empe ror; by doing so we believe you will take from an archy every hope of success ; and count, under all cir cumstances, on our devotedness. Appeal to the villages, and the peasants will not betray you. Tire 'Empereur Viva Napoleon 111. And, finally, not the least emphatic, is that which proceeds from the very Place where the Emperor Napoleon, when on his route from Elba, was wellnigh torn in pieces by the populace. The muncipality of Orgon (Boucher du Rhone) " respectfully expresses the wish that, as the heir of the great Napoleon, you become the chief of a Government which derives its force from its continu- ante, and can thus consolidate all that you have un dertaken of great and useful in the interest of the French people, and secure to our country the rank it has a right to spire to in the family of the nations of Europe and the Christian world." A singular fatality occurred a few days since on board a boat laden with gunpowder, which was pro ceeding along the Garonne to Agen. Having reached Podensac, a gendarme there wished to take the place of his comrade from Bordeaux, but slipped into the river as he Wa3 entering the boat, and was drowned. The following afternoon the boat was moored in front of Juzie, in the Lot et Garonne. Some flax took fire on board, and the crew slipped the cable and jumped ashore. The boat drifted into the middle of the river, where the gunpowder exploded, and the captain and two gendarmes perished. ADMIRAL MORESBY'S VISIT TO PIT CAIRNS _ISLAND. Tho folicwing account of the visit of Rear-Admiral Fairfax Moresby, C. 8., commander-in-chief in the Pa ?ale, to Pi cairn's Island, will bo perused with much Itlterebt Bin Majesty's ship Portland, at Sea, Aug. 12, Lat. 25 25 S. long. 15 6 29 W. SlR,—Continuing the report of my proceedings from the 27th ult., as detailed in my letter No. 71, I request U will inform the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty that, after patslag over the position assigned to Inczenttion Island without seeing it, we made Piteairn's Island on the morning of the 7th inst. Early on Sunday, the Bth, I landed. From this time to the period of our departure on the 11th, I remained on shore, and a constant intercourse was kept up with the Portland. It is impossible to do justice to the spirit of order and decency that animated the whole community, whose number amounts to 170, strictly brought up in the Pro testant faith, according to the Established Church of England, by Mr. Nubby, their pastor and surgeon, who has for twenty-four years zealously and successfully by precept and example raised them to a state of the highest moral conduct and feeling. Of fruits and edible roots they have at present an abundance, which they exchange with the whalers for clothing, oil, and other necessaries; but the erops on the tillage ground b eg i n to d eter i orate; l an d- s lip s occur with each Whe n succeeding cceeding storm, and the decdvities of the hills, denuded, are laid bare by th e p e riodical rains. Their diet consists of yams, sweet t potatoes, and bread fruit. A small quant i ty o f fish isoccasionally Their pigs supply annually upon caught. an average, about 501 b. of meat to each individual, and they have o a he few goats and fowls. Their want of c l oth i n g nec essaries is very pressin g , an d I un and r absolute satisfied that the time has arrived when preparation at least must be made for the future, seven or eight years being the utmost that can be looked forward to for a continuance of their present means of support. The summary of the year 1851 gives births 12, deaths 2, marriage s , 3. On their return from Tahiti they numbered about 60, of whom there wrro married 13 couple, the rest from the age of 16 to infancy. Mr. Nobfss was anxious to avail himself of my off e r to convey him to Valparaiso,and from thence enable him to proceed to England for the purpose of obtaining or dination.

SCARCITY or SILVRIL—That there is a scarcity of silver in the country ca❑ no longer be doubted, the stcok in the bank having dwindled down from 1,000,0001. in 1847, to 19,0001. in 1852. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Oct. 22. (Befera Mr. Commis2ioner Goulbutn.) IN RE BREWER. This was the last examination meeting in the case of H. N. Brewer, mast and block maker of Deptford, and tobacconist, of the South-Eastern Arcade, London- bricfge. The accounts extended over ten months prior to ?lae failure in August last, and showed a deficiency in Oct., 1851, of 1,8201. The bankrupt now owed to unsecured creditors 1,9441.; for cash, rent, and interest, 1,0711.; to creditors holding security, 1,6711. ; liabilities, 1,7001. The assets were considerable, being estimated at 2,5271. in good debts and property; property held by creditors, 5681. The profits had been 515/ ; cash received, 2,027/.; trade expenses, 1,0701.; interest, 811.; domestic expenses, 3891; losses, 7651. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, asked for an adjourn ment, in o. der that further accounts might be furnished. Mr. Beetholme, for the assignees, consenting, the meet ing was adjourned accordingly. FEES OF COUNSEL. Mr Sturgeon applied to the Court under the following circumstances:—ln a trader debtor summons heard by his Honour a few days ego, he appeared as counsel for the defendant. The plaintiff had unlawfully obtained from his client a bill of exchange, and was served with notice by the defendant to produce certain papers, which it was alleged would show that his claim was not a just one. The plaintiff did not appear on tho day of hearing, and the summons was dismissed with costs. Amongst the cots were the fees of counsel, which the taxing master had refused to allow. Under the,o circumstances he asked the Court to make an order for the allowance of such fees. His Honour said it was unusual to allow counsel's fees in such cases, unless special circumstances were shown to justify it. The facts stated should be embodied in an affidavit, and the Court would then consider whether it was a fit case for the allowance of counsel's fees. IN RE NEYER.-INOTHER CASE OP ABSCONDING. This was the last examination meeting in the case of Anthony Meyer, merchant, of Throgmorton-street. He was made bankrupt by the assignees of J. S. Lacey, of Great St. Helen's ; and Mr. Pennell, as the official assignee of that estate, was appointed trade assignee under Meyer's bankruptcy. The bankrupt has not surrendered, and of course has filed no balance-sheet; but a preliminary statement of his affairs shows the following results :—To creditors, 3,0891. ; liabilities on bills payable, 5,657/. ; liabilities on bills receivable, 2,1581.; other liabilities, 352/. Assets, in good debts, 1061. ; doubtful debts (estimated at) 2001. ; property, 3091. ; consignments, at cost price, 1,045/. Mr. Reed, for the assignees, stated that the bankrupt had left the coanty, and asked that the usual course should be followed. The bankrupt was ordered to be proclaimed in th© usual form. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) IN RE BLARE. This was as adjourned last examination meeting in the matter of J. Blake, innkeeper, of Attleburge, in Suffolk. He owed 1,2171. to unsecured creditors, and 6201. to thoso holding security. His assets consisted only of 51. 9s 2d in good debts, and a trifling amount entered as doubtful; the whole of his property had been seized and sold by Sir W. B. Smyth, under a bill of sale, given about a twelvemonth before the bankruptcy, and had produced 3001. The profits had been 1201.; trade expenses, 6221.; domestic do., 2821.; losses, 3091. There was an admitted deficiency at the commencement of the accounts of 3071. Mr. Linklater, in support of the bankrupt, stated that amendments had been made in the accounts, and asked that the bankrupt should now pass, as there had been repeated adjournments at the instance of the assignees. Mr. Lucas, for the assignees, opposed the bankrupt's passing, principally on the ground that certain furni ture, in the possession of his daughter, in a house near Euston•aquare, was in reality the property of the bank rupt. His Honour said he should allow the bankrupt to pass, giving the assignees leave to commence an action for the recovery of the furniture. A distant day must be fixed for the certificate,'as the court, in judging of the bank rupt's conduct, would have regard to the result of the action. COURT OF INLAND REVENUE.—OcT. 22. [Before John Wood, Esq., Chairman of the Board; C. J. Herries, Esq., and Charles Pressly, Esq THE 4IIEEN V. BUCYLA.ND., George Buckland, a soap-manufacturer in an exten sive way of business, residing in Orchard•place, \Val worth•road, was charged on an indictment containing three counts; two of them alleging that ha had used certain illegal utensils, by which he had incurred two penalties of 2001; and in the third count he was charged with convoying away from his premises a certain quan tity of soap, thereby defrauding her Majesty of the duty chargimble thereon, by which he had incurred a penalty of 3001. To all of which charges he pleaded not guilty. A number of witnesses were then examined in support of the counts in the indictment. _ _ _ After a few words from Mr. Parry for the defence, Mr. Clarkson replied on the whole case at considerable length. The Chairman (Mr. John Wood), after a short con. aultation with his colleagues, said the court had no doubt, nor could any reasonable man have any doubt, that the defendant was guilty, and that ho was cognizant of the hole in the copper, which had been used as a means of defrauding the revenue. They also had no doubt that a large quantity of soap bad been conveyed away between the Saturday and Sunday. It had not gone into the ashpan, and therefore it was evident that it had been taken away by some one. From the appear ance of the plug it would seem not to have been used merely once or twice, but habitually. They should give judgment for the penalties of 2001. and 5001., but if the 2001. were paid immediately, the 5001. would not bo en forced. A warrant was then issued for the payment of th© penalty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—George Brown, ono of the runaway visitors to California, was charged before Al derman Hooper with having deserted from the Bombay ship, now on her voyage from San Francisco to Java, having signed articles to navigate the vessel to these ports and home. Mr. Edward Lawson, of Rotherhithe, sole owner of the Bombay, said he had engaged the defendant, after the vessel had been supplied with her crew, as an extra hand, on the same terms as all the rest. At San Fran cisco the defendant, and 15 other seamen of the 18 of which the crew consisted, ran away to the diggings, and the expense to which the vessel was put, in consequence of so cruel an abandonment, amounted to not less than 1,2904 Alderman Hooper asked how the prosecutor had ascertained that the crow had deserted the ship? Mr. Lawson—l had a letter from the captain, inform• ing me that they had run away the day after the arriva', and I was obliged to pay 150 dollars for the supply of the place of each of the runaways. The ship has, in fact, completely eaten herself up. It is indeed a ruinous trade. I had fitted out the Bombay for 20 months, and the moment an opportunity presents itself, away the men go. It will be seen by the articles that every seaman was, upon his return in the vessel, to receive a pound a month extra pay, and twopence per ton for the guano which it was intended to bring home. Shipowners who venture to send their vessels to the gold regions can have nothing but ruin before them if such practices continue. Mr. Coleman, of the office of the Registrar-General for Seamen, stated that he had summoned the defendant upon his application to the office for a ticket. The de serters from vessels at California and Australia were innumerable. The alderman would form some idea of the dreadful loss and embarrassment to which the owners were liable when he was assured that there was a fleet of 150 sail at present at Australia, not one vessel cf which could stir on account of the desertion. Ile re gretted that he found considerable difficulty in prevailing upon the owners of the vessels to which the deserters belonged to come forward with complaints, in order to secure the infliction of punishment upon such injurious delinquents, for without their evidence the deserter walked off upon the demand of a penalty of 10s,, after having caused enormous expense to his employer. Mr. Lawson said a person would suppose, after such treatment as the defendant had revolved, that there would be perfect security for his return. Mr. Coleman said that several of the seamen who had deserted, and who returned enormously paid to this country in other vessels, admitted to him that they did not at all relish the diggings, the labour being much greater than they wero accustomed to, or than they could long endure. Alderman Hooper said the case was one of the worst ho had heard, and he had been present at a great many bad exhibitions of the kind, and he sentenced the defend ant to the heaviest punishment he could inflict—a punish. rnent much lighter than the offence—imprisonment and hard labour for 12 weeks. Another seaman was convicted of having deserted the ship Hashemy, at Port Adelaide. Mr. Beatsou, of the firm of Heath, Palmer, and Beat son, of Fenchurch-streot, managing owners of the vessel, stated that the defendant had deserted the vessel, toge ther with almost all the rest of the crew, the day after bar arrival. The chief mate had, he regretted to say, also started away. The defendant said he had been accused of smuggling some of the cargo, and he could not think of staying on board after that. Alderman Hooper—For how much did you sign articles ? Defendant—For 2/. a-month. Alderman Hooper—And how muoh did you get for the voyage back ? Defendant-8!. a-month. Alderman Hooper—That settles the question. You must go to hard labour for 12 weeks also. TII AM ES.—John Sheen, an Irish labourer, was charg e d w i t h stea li ng 23 sovere i g ns, and other moneys, from th e parson o f E d war d Branagan, formerly of ti vir r h ig i h te t c o h n a , p a el d now residing at No. 20, Rosemary-lone, The prosecutor and his wife came to London from to om Brighton on t h e 12th instant, for the purpose of engaging a passa ge to South Australia, whore they intended _ settle. Bra nagan ' s whole stock of money consisted of 351. While looking over an emigrant ship in the East India Dock, he was accosted by three men who had been working on board as "hampers," and who said they were about to emigrate, and proferred their advice and assist ance. Branagan placed credence in their statement, and he went on shore with them. Ilia new acquaintances plied him well with drink, and after sunset took him to the East India-road, Poplar, where he was plunde red of all the money he had in his possession, and whioh Le had by frugality and industry saved for the purpose oiv, TEE STYN, LONDON, _SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOEER 23, 1852. grating. The prisrmer, however, was only charged vvitk stealing 23 sovereigns. The prosecutor could only stss that he had 351. in his possession when be was on board the emigrant ship in the Rist India Dock, and of that money there was 231. or 24/, in gold in a glove, and 21. in a pink bag. The whole was contained in a parse and deposited in his right hand waistcoat pocket. Ho recol lected that a person about the prisoner's siz3 was in his company the day he lost the money.!

NAVIGATION OF BEHRISG'S STRAITS. The following document was communicated to the United States Senate by the secretary of the navy, in reply to a resolution of that body:— Navy Department, April 5, 1852. " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the Senate's resolution, adopted on the 22d ultimo, calling upon ' the secretary of the navy' to communicate to the Senate his opiniun of the expediency of a reconnoisance of the routes of navigation in the northern seas and in the China and Japan seas, and whether any vessel belonging to the service can be used for that purpose ; and also what would be the expense of such a reconnoisance? So far as regards the expediency of the reconnoisance re ferred to in the resolution, I find that the files of this department contains a carefully prepared dis cussion of the subject by the Superintendent of the National Observatory, of the date of December 3, ISSI, confinel, however, to the value and importance of the whale fishery in the Auadir, Ochotslc, and Arctic seas, as the whaling grounds in the regions about Behring's Straits aro called, from which I beg leave to furnish the following extracts:— " In the summer of 1848, Captain Roys, of the whale ship Superior, penetrated the Arctic cean, through Behring's Straits, and encountered in his adventurous pursuits all the dangers of an unknown Polar sea. lie was successful in his enterprise, filling his ship with oil in a few weeks. Influenced by the report which he brought back as to the abundance of whales, owners in the United States fitted out a large fleet for those grounds, and in 1849 Capt. Roys was followed by 154 sail of whale ships, each vessel (said to be) worth on the aver age with her outfit, 30, 000 dole. , and mann ed b y 30 able bodied seamen each. This fleet took that season 206,850 barrels of whale oil, and 2,461,600 lbs. of bone. In the summer of 1850 there went up a whaling fleet of 144 American vessels, manned as above, and of a like ave rage value. This fleet, in the course of the few weeks left for their pursuits in those inhospitable regions, took 243,630 barrels of whale oil, and 3,654,000 lbs. of bone. In the current year (1851) there went up a fleet of about 145 American vessels, but their accounts have not yet been received ; partial accounts of wreck and disas ter only have reached us—they are startling. The lives 1 and property at stake there for the two years for whi ch we have complete returns may be thus stated —:— "1849—Number of American sea - ADUIRALTY, OCT. 18.

No less than seven sail of this fine fleet of 1851—the Howqua, the New Bedford, the Arabella, the America, the Armsta, the Mary Mitchell, and the Henry Thompson, have been wrecked there, and left behind as monuments of the dangers which meet these hardy mariners in their ad venturous calling. There are reports of other losses and wrecks. These are certain ; and though several of them were lost, not on shoals, but otherwise, yet these are enough to tell of imperfect hydography, and to show the national importance of looking to it ; for it may be so, that in case of loss in the ice, the knowledge of a sheltered anchorage near, and which a survey would give, svould have prevented i the exposure to the ice which induced the loss. All our commerce with what is called ' the East,' is not so valuable as this was for 1849 and 1850. We see, by the above statistics, that in these two years more American seamen were engaged in that small district of ocean than are employed in our whole navy at one time ; that in these two years these hardy mariners fished up from the bottom of the sea, and, by their own energy, created and added to the national wealth the value of more than eight millions of dollars. And we, moreover, see, that owing to the dangers of the land and ice, the bidden rock and unknown shoals, one vessel in every 20 that went therein during the sum mer of 1851 has been left behind a total wreck, and that the lives of their crews, of not less that one man for every 20, engaged in that business, have been put in jeopardy, mostly from the want of proper charts. No protection that our squadrons can at this mo ment give to our commerce, with any of the states of Christendom, can compare with that which a good chart of that part of the ocean would afford to this nursery of American seamen, and to this branch of national indus try. I learn that in lat. 64 deg. 15 min. N, long. 178 min. W, Captain Middleton, of the barque Tenedos, of New London, discovered a shoal, having only 8 feet of water on it, and which was two acres in extent; that the ship Ajax, of Havre, was lost on a rock, south of the Tile of St. Lawrence, 10 miles from land; that the entire fleet of whalemen in the Arctic Ocean complain much that charts are wrong, that the coast is badly explored, but little known, &c.; that several of our vesseli have been near being wrecked, by unexpectedly making land or rocks under the boys at night;' that they have found in the Arctic circle low sand-spits, extending five or six miles out; that also 'in Ochotsk Sea there are hidden dangers;' that the Hoe-qua, in 1851, was totally wrecked on a sunken rock in that sea.' I am also informed that the Indians are very friendly ; that they wanted to trade: that the whalemen frequently went on shore, &o.; that Captain Taylor brought specimens of ores of met al from the Arctic shore;' that ho obtained information from the natives of the existence of gold amongst them, as also iron;' that when shown implements of various kinds. they gave him to understand, plenty in the mountain.' Such was also the case with the gold- They knew the metal, and pointed at such existing amongst there. " With these facts before the department, I have no hesitation in expressiug an opinion favourable to the measure suggested in the resolution, nor in recommend ing such a reconnoisance and surveys as will establish accurately the positions of prominent capes, bays, head lands, and harbours. To fix the position of the rocks and shoals that endanger the navigation there, and to examine the Fox or Aleutian Islands, would be a work of two or three properly appointed vessels only for a short time. When the season is closed for these lati tudes, the same vessels could be most beneficially em ployed in an examination of the seas of China and Japan, and the regions thereabout, whose hydrography is so defective and an accurate knowledge of which is becom ing every day of more and more importance. "In reply to the latter cause of the resolution, viz.,— ' Whether any vessels belonging to the service can be used for that purpose, and also what would be the expense of such a reconnoisance?' I respectfully state that this department has not at its command the vessels necessary for the contemplated service, un less by reducing the number of our vessels attached to squadrons on foreign service, which I by no means re commend. lam of opinion that the necessary vessels can be built at our navy yards, or purchased for a sum not exceeding 125,000 do's., and that no additional appropri ation beyond that sum need be made. The wear and tear of the vessels, the pay of the officers and crow, stores, pro visions, instruments, Occ., can be provided for out of car rent appropriations. The accompanying report from the chief of the Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography, and papers prepared by Commander Ringgold and Lieu tenants Maury and Page, are respectfully submitted, as throwing additional light upon the subject.

In the afternoon of Tuesday the prisoner, who held the situation of errand-boy in ass office of Mr. Charles Eseitmair, called at the Royal Bank where his employer had business transactions, and pre sented a cheque for 51. 2.a., which was paid him. Sus pecting that something was wrong, one ;:if the bank clerks sent notice of the fact to Mr. Kreitman - , who found that the boy had forged his signature very cleverly. He said nothing to the prisoner about the forgery, but sent him with a note to the Royal Bank, where ho was given into custody. The prisoner made no defence. THE MINOR PRESIDENCIES OF INDIA.--Tl2O Govern ments of the minor Pre sidencies, are entirely at the mercy of the Supreme E xecutive. Lord E . i Iphnstone has explained this very satisfactorily. Op i nion settled on the point of the independen ce of the minor Presidencies. If they are to be good for anything, they ought not to be kept in leading strings. Emancipate the :benighted from the paralyzing influence of the supreme Govern ment, and from the incubus of its loc al Council, and it will soon take the lead in every thing calculated to raise the character of the people, and to improve the prospects of the country.

ANOTLIER DUEL,—A very strange duel is said tn , have taken place at lii rr i emu i r , l a t e ly, betwixt a " g ent " and a greengrocer r e l a ti ve t o a di c key. The greengrocer maintained that the f o p wor e a little shirt, and ques tioned if ho had a long ono. After high words about the matter, the men o f h ono ur agreed to retire to a con venient place and settle the dispute like gentlemen. Both met at the appointed place, accompanied by seconds. The "gent" was armed with a small pop pistol; the grocer with an old firelock , which had been in the ter vice of Queen Anne. The seconds, who were we avers , were armed each with a beam.pin, for the purp ose of keeping order. The ground (sixty yards) was m easure d off. co mbatants took , had primed without loading, their places, triggers were drawn; but, 101 the “gent, and the grocer ha d loaded without priming. A cap c rack and a loud snap constituted the part to be per formed by . the votaries of Friar Bacon. The grocer, however, with an oath, pulled out a powder-horn from his pocket to prime ; but the " gent" having no wish for a second round took to his heels; but his opponent was not satisfied. ye took the beam-pin from his second — gave hot pursuit—threw the beam-pin after his flying enemy, exclaiming, at the same time, " Take that, Johnny Cope;" but Johnv's legs bore him as safe frcsa the field as the, " gray mar a Meg" bore Tam o' Shauter from the witoh ea of Alloway.—Breehin Advertiser.
