We inserted last week a paragraph headed " Fatal Duel,"
which purported to be an account of what is termed " an affair of
honour," that had taken place the previous Saturday at College
Rill-green, two miles from Epping, on the Chelmsford road,
The parties were said to have arrived at the spot, attended by their
mutual friends, the one in a post-chaise. and the other in a horse
and gig, and that the antr was witnessed by some husbandry men,
Who were at work near the place; that at the first firs one of the
parties was dangerously wounded, the ball having passed through
the left side, below the breast ; that he was placed in the post-
s:babe, and removed to the Half Moon Inn, towards Chelms.
turd, where he was attended by Dr. Hughes, of St. George's-
helds, who happened to be on • shooting visit at the house
of Mr. Ilouldsworth, a gentleman living in the neighbour-
hood. and that the woundei: man died the following Monday.
A subsequent paragraph, obtained from the same source, stated
the deceased to be a Mr. Arlington, originally manager of a Man-
chester house in the city : but that he afterwards realised an hide-
pendent fortune, and went to reside at a house which he built at
Edmonton :—that his antagonist was • Mr. a retired.
hop merchant ; and, in conclusion, the parties were said to be dis-
tantly related, and the disagreement of • family nature.
As respects the above account, after making diligent inquiries at
Epping and elsewhere, we have ascertained the following facts:—
There is no place called College Hill Green, nor any gentleman of
the name of Houldsworth" living near Epping. No husbandry
men are to be found who can give any account of the afair, nor
is there any inn OR the Chelmsford-road of the sign of the
Half Moon. There certainly is such a sign in the town of
Chelmsford ; but then that is distant from Epping 17 miles, and
it would be unreasonable to suppose that the second of the
wounded man would permit him to be conveyed so great • distance
before medical aid was obtained. Besides, a newspaper is pub-
balled every Friday in that town, and yet it contains no account
of the duel beyond what has appeared in the London papers. A
respectable Solicitor at Epping. a near relative of the Coroner, in-
formed our Reporter, that had the affair really occurred, he had no
doubt but that be should have before then have heard of it. tin
referring to the " Directory," it does not appear that any Dr.
Hughes resides in St. George's-fields.

To CORRECT DAMAGED GRAlN.—Musty grain, totally',
unfit for use, and which can scarcely be mound, may be
rendered perfectly sweet and sound by simply immersing
it in boiling water, and letting it remain till the water
betimes cold. The quantity of water must be double that
of the coin to be purified. The musty quality rarely pc-
netrates through the husk of the wheat, and in the very
worst cases it does not extend through the amylaceous
matter which lies immediately under the skin. In the hot
watersall the decayed or rotten grains swim on the surface,
so that-the remaining wheat is effectually. cleaned from all
imp,urities, without any material loss. It is afterwards to
be -dried, stirring it occasionally on the kiln.
The Stockton and Darlingtoa railway, which has been
so long in forming, is at length completed, and is to come
into operation immediately. The first waggon will pass
along it this day (Tuesday), and the proprietors appear
to be very sanguine as to its turning out a profitable specu-
lation, though the expense has far exceeded the original
c itiosate.—Tyme Mercury.
A letter from Hastings, dated yesterday afternoon, con-
tams a paragraph which intimates that same dreadful
accident has happened to the person whose name it men-
tions:—" Mr. Coartenay, whose flight along a rope at
Dover I witnessed, and of which you have had accounts
in the newspapers, has been performing the same feat here;
but I fear has met with some dreadful accident, for he has
been this moment carried past my window on a shutter."—
/Worsting Paper tf yesterday.
There is now living at Newbottle a person of the
name of Thomas Freaker, whose age is 11l years ! He is
by trade a cooper, and has worked at his business, and en-
joyed good health all his life, until within a few days put,
whew he took to his bed. He says he seldom drank any
spiritcrus liquor, but always drank freely of good ale.—

ii REPORTID tIRDER AT Yoax.—The York Courant
nays, with reference to a paragraph copied lately from an
Iri.b paper, stating the arrest of a man minted Junei
Glairn, on suspicion of being concerned in a murder at
York--" We arc of opinion that there either must be
some mistake in statino the locality of the crime, ee that
the whole M a fabrication. The nese is not familiar to
any of our police, and we are not aware'of any 'audio
haring been perpetrated in this city, sales indeed, the
=merlons death of Cede, Mr. Kirby's groom, involves so
feightful a °Arne in Its circumstances, which hire tot yet
