FATAL FIGHT.

A murder was committed in Broadway, New
York, early on the morning of the 22nd ult., in the
" Shaw House," a dining saloon. The parties to the
affray were an actor named Nymns, lately engaged
at Wallack's Theatre, and a Tombs lawyer named
Wagstaff. They met in the bar-room and soon quar-
relled—about a woman, it is said—and after many
hard epithets Wagstaff struck Nymns a powerful
blow. Nymns, recovering in a moment, drew a re-
volver and fired twice in quick succession at Wag-
staff. The first ball hit Wagstaff's arm, and passed
into the breast, injuring the lungs. The second ball
Methrough the mouth, and upwards through the
,da part of which was shot off. Wagstaff fell to
the floor a corpse. Nymns retreated immediately to
the street, and had not been arrested when the
steamer left. Wagstaff was well known about the
town, as is also Nymns. They moved among the
crowd, both male and female, generally denominated
as "fast."

The Lincoln Mercury states that at the eleventh
hour three or four persons have stepped forward to procure
some show of an autumn race meeting, and it is stated that
there will, midway in October, be a single day'. sport for the
purpose of retaining the Queen's guineas. Thenceforward
the spring and autumn committee* will be united, an at-
tempt will be made to get the royal Oake transferred to the
"Hug meeting., and Lincoln autumn ream, once eo famous
for the vanclaties of the aristocracy and gentry, will to °m-
signed to history..

The AottingAam Rerior observes that Melton
lliowbray can boast of three public characters which perhaps
no other town tan—namely, two independent Isdies who hers
taken out game certificates, and who enter the field and can
bring down the game equal to any mole sportsman, u well
as those indulging in 6.bing, hunting over a country to
Dounds, lice. The other is a female blacksmith, who I. such
an adept at shoeing a home or working at the snit, as to
cause universal excitement. _ _

The prospects of sport for London shots appear to
be excellent The Chelnorford Chronicle states Early
morn on the let set in favourably for the sportsmen, but the
rain *non after fell so heavily that it required rather strong
enthusiasm for the gun to tsar it. Wednesday, too, was wet,
on that the bearer of the double-barrel can hardly be mid to
have yet had a fair field; but we learn that in most districts
of this county coveys are numerous, and, though vary wild,
promise a pod season's sport."
Most of the provincial papers which have come to
hand this week notice the finding of locusts in their imme-
diate neighbourhoods. On Tuesday one was found in a corn-
field It Burton Pidaea. It is a very flue specimen, its lags
being three inches in length, its body three inches, wings
two inches and three-quarters, and when it is stretched its
I full length it measures about des inches and a half amass.
A recent work states that the Oryllus Migrotorne of
LionFrua Is a large species of locust, which multiplies
to such a degree es to be the theme of ancient writers,
and the works of recent authors confirm their state-
ments. Barrow mentions that in the southern parts of
Alike, an arse of nearly two thousand square miles might
be said, ea one oceaaion, to have been literally covered with
them. Whoa driven by a north-west wind into the sea,
they formed upon the &bore, fur fifty miles, a bank three or
four feet high; sad when the wind was south-east, the
stench was so great se to be felt one hundred and fifty mike
distant. In some parts of Africa this insect Is eaten by tho
natives It hi common in Poland, and though it Is Muted
that • gemt portion of Europe Is often overrun by them,
It Is seldom we bear of any caught in this part of ths globe.
The other day, however, one waa found In Ireland, mother

North Shields magistrates, at the instance of Lieutessad
Simpeon, of her Majesty's cruiser Otter, who the night beta,
had brought the Preach fishing logger, No. 274, etBoulogne, into the Tyne, on a charge of an Infraction of the
