THREATENED DUEL AT TROWBRIDGE
The good people of the town of Trowbridge are all agog
at a l,ilasive that has it aflult., in which • very uncivil
engineer has sent a challenge (41 a man of letters to fight a
duel. There is, it seems, a lady in the case, and the
engineer beiug moved by the gnsai-ey,sl monster, breathed
out bitter things against the own of letters, who took the
threats very coolly, and said if he met his rival lie should
siniply give him a " wipe uuder the ear... This did not
tend to allay matters, but rather to aggravate them, and
the'Engineer, stung to the quick, sought to "wipe out "
the Moult in - - well, we will not say what, but mereiT
remark that a written challenge was sent to the man of
letters from which the following is an extract :-" You

MORTALITY--ITS CAt'sli AND MITIOSTION.—IS is VOry
hard for a man to say he dosen't know, especially in a
matter which he professes, or which he is expected to
Moot. ItopuLation forbids him to confess this. Hence
the great increase of the so-called &seams; of the heart.
The physician not, perhaps, at once discerning the real
cause of the nialatly, finds a ready means of escape from
embarrasnient in ascribing it to Mart disease. We would
not be understood to say, that there are not thuusautto of
cases of organic disease of this the chief organ of life, but
we firmly believe that many 1,-.lfil of what is termed
Mart Eliocase, are nothing but the result of imperfect
circulation of the blood caused by impaired thgtation. In
such cases, the lost and resubmit means of relief is found
in llelloway's Pills, which have won a world-wide reputat
tion. They act dirtxtly upon the lieu—that vehicle by
which the nourishment it distributed- throughout the
sytteni—and indirectly upon all parts of the body,
restoring those whiz-watt/on has failed, and reinvigorating
others yet uniumared. TI sands of cures made and

The actual position of the English corn trade dis-
plays a healthy moderation, neither buyers nor sellers
adopting extreme views. ,
On 'I hursday, at Birmingham, English wheat was
firm, at the prices of last week—At Devizes wheat
with a good demand prices advanced ts. per qr.
Other grain at late rates.—At Manchester a steady
demand took place at the prices of last week.—At
Newbury trade at the opening or the market ruled
brisk at enhanced rates, but towards the close
sluggishness prevailed, and late prices were barely
supported.
On Friday, at Mark-Lane, there was a continuance
of quietness in the grain trade. The attendance thin,
and business extremely limited. Supply of English
wheat very small, nevertheless, the demand ruled
heavy at about late rates. Foreign wheat of which
a fair supply on offer sold steadily at barely previous
currencies The market scantily supplied with barley.
Scarcely anything doing, and prices nominal Malt
dull at late rates. 4 fair supply of oat, on offer. The
trade quiet at about Monday's currencies. Maize
inactive, on former terms. Beans and peas quiet, but
firm. The flour market without feature; business
limited, and prices unaltered.—At I)erby the demand
was by no means active, the trade ruling firm at the
rates of last week.—At Lincoln a limited supply of
wheat came to hand, and a fair inquiry was
experienced. The rates of this day sennight were
exceeded by is. per qr. ; red, 58s. to 645. : white,
655. to 725. per 36 stone.—At Wakefield the demand
lot wheat was again flat, buyers only operating for
immediate wants. Last week a prices were, however,
supported.

Al ET kOPOLITA N, Tim astmv. —We ha% c
nearly as many beasts as on last Thursday, choke
qualities are, however, scarce ; trade is dull, but
prices on the average are scarcely altered front Mon-
day. We haveagant a large number of sheep ; trade
is slow, and prices are lower. A great many lambs
are coming in store condition, owing to the dry
weather; the demand is very limited for best qualities
at loner rates. The number or calves is large, but
choicest is not very plentiful, and make a fair price.
There are 83 English and 35 Ihttch milch cows on
offer; trade is very bad lor them. Our foreign supply
consists of 280 beasts, 3580 sheep ond 670 calves.
