MONEY REMITTANCES BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.--To
afford facility to the public for the rapid remittance of
sums of money, the Electric and International Telegraph
Company have organised a branch of their establishment
for that purpose. Money deposited with the company will
be advised by telegraph order, and be paid to the parties
printed in the order, in accordance with the conditions
named in the company's forms. The towns between which
remittances can now be made are :—" From London to
Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle upon Tyne; from .
Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin' Edinburgh, Exeter, Glas-
gow, Hull, Leeds, Lverpool, Manchester, Newcastle upon
Tyne, Plymouth, PJrtsmouth, Sunderland, and York, to
London. By order, J. S. Fourdrinier, Secretary." Thus,
by a sort of natural necessity, the new " Murcury," the
switt " Messenger," while he holds in one hand the
magical transporting wand, in the other he grasps the
purse. These money remittances by telegraph are, doubt-
less, the beginnings of a great system which is likely to
to supersede post office remittances—we trust with safety
equal to its swiftness.—Builder.

SINGULAR DUEL—LADIES PRESENT.—We learn by a
letter from Memphis, of the 16th inst., that a duel was
fought in the vicinity of that city on the day previous. It
seems that on the late trip of theNorthStarc4fir.o
Orleans to this place, two of the passengers,
Burgthae, from Philadelphia, Cm h leews
and Major Riegler, of
Boston, who bad been so Ith on an electioneering tour,
and were old friends, having both served in the European'
armies, got into a very warm discussion, the one
defending Democracy and the othr Republicanism,
which resulted in offensive language of a personal
character against Burgthae. In the presence of so many
passengers the colonel felt it incumbent on him to demand
a retraction of the insulting matter, which being
denied a challenge and acceptance to fight were soon

settled upon, Hungarian officers, named S. SzalaY.
and T. Shultez, lately in the service of Walker at Nicara-
gua, who were passengers on the boat, volunteered as
seconds. Pistols and fifteen paces were the terms pro-
posed ; but strange to say, the seconds, the master of the
boat, and all the passengers, including many ladies,
opposed the proposition, and contended that the fight
should be had with swords. The Hungarians offered
their sabres, and the next day, on reaching Memphis,
the parties landed, and procuring the attendance of a

the lady and gentlemen passengers. The duel was
then] fought with great fierceness, and resulted in the
defeat of Major Riegler, who by the superior skill of his
adversary, received two terrible cuts, the one on his
cheek and.the other on the chin, causing. him to drop on
the field. Returning to the boat the wounds of the Major
were dressed, and a reconciliation of the
course, and

speech to the passengers, justifying his

warmly received by those present. It is supposed that

The 'following letter from Mr. NeYlos was also read :

The Chaiiman: Messrs. Siddeley, Baynes, Wilson,

Mr. Pitts said he should move that the report of the
IVisi'ing committee just read, be received and adopted
M

Pickup : It is not the report of the whole cora-
'mittee, because there was a division on the subject.
The Clerk : It is the report of the majority..
Mr. Lunt : Which ward is the lying in ward men-
tioned in the report.
The Chairman : It is the ward formerly used as a
repository ward, and is on the top of the new building.
Mr. Lunt : Did not know where it was before.
Mr. Pitts went on to say that he was not surprised that
Mr. Lunt should be ignorant of the fact, seeing that,within
the last two years, for the want of proper accommodation,
they had been compelled to make two infringements on
the buildings which had been erected for other purposes,
