A meeting took place in the field between the Regent's
Canal and Chalk Farm, early yesterday morning, between
B— Ar—s—m, a medical student, and Mr. Mi—l-1, a
half-pay officer of the navy. The dispute originated about
one of the frail fair, who lodged information against her
rival lovers, but too late. The parties fired twice, and in
the second tire 31r. was wounded in the side, hut not
seriously, and the affair ended. They were afterwards
good friends, and took lunch together with their seconds
at Hampstead. _ .

Areata or Horror tr.—During the past week the peace
of more than one of his Majesty's lieges, in an adjoining
city, has been endangered by circumstances with which we
profess to be but imperfectly acquainted. As far, how-
ever, as the current accounts can be relied upon, we are
told that, in consequence of some assertions having been
made by Mr. II—e, derogatory to the character and re.
spectabtlity of L—t N—, of the R—l S---b G—r
M—a, the latter felt bound, as an officer and a gentle-
man, to demand an explanation of the offensive terms, or
such satisfaction as the laws of honour rendered impera-
tive; and a formal communication was !mule to the nfferid-
ing
,party by C—n I—, on the part of L—t N—.
Mr. Ii- e instantly referred C—n I—, to his friend
C—n K—, and after some discussion, a highly satisfactory
arrangement was effected ; for which the utmost credit is
due to the good sense and correct feeling of the friends of
the parties.—Chelfenhom Chronicle.
Lord Chief Justice Ifilmot used to give a curious ac-
count of an innkeeper at Warwick, whom he had tried for
having poisoned some of his customers with his port-wine,
by which they had narrowly escaped with their lives ; and
that the indictment was quashed by the impudence of the
fellow, who absolutely proved that there had never been a
drop f port-wine in the hogshead.
FUNERAL OF LORD ARTHUR PAGICT..—The remain/
of this young Nobleman were conveyed through York on
Wednesday, in solemn funeral procession, on their way foe
interment. This lamented young Nobleman was a Lieu.
tenant in the 7th Hussars, now stationed in York barracks,
and was the third son of the Marquis of Aiglesea. Hia
premature death was occasioned by a severe tnll from his
horse, when in the field with Sir Tatton Sykes's hounds,
about three weeks ago. lie was carried to the house of
Mr. J. Brown, a respectable farmer in West Lutton, from
whom he experienced the most unremitting kindness and
attention. He was attended by three eminent surgeons;
a bed was ingeniously contrived by pulleys and mechanism,
to relieve him of a great portion of his sufferings ; and it
may Ls a melancholy satisfaction to those friends who
were acquainted with his worth, to know, that although the
best surgical skill unhappily failed in accomplishing a cure,
yet that his last moments were free from pain. lie died
with great firmness and composure, having taken leave of
his friends around him, and not failing to express his grate-
ful thanks for all the kindness he had met with under the
hospitable roof of his host. The hotly left Melton early
in the morning ; and about eleven o'clock the Hussars from
the barracks proceeded to meet and escort, the remains of
the noble youth through the city. They met the proces-
sion on Iloworth Moor, and the regiment facing inwards,
it passed through, when the hussars turned to the right
and left, and the procession entered York at Monk-bar. Ota
the arrival of the procession at Dringhouses, the regiment
halted, awl returned to its barracks. The funeral then
proceeded onwards to the family vault of the Marquis of
Anglesea, in the Cathedral of Litchfield.—Hull Pocket.—
The remains of the above much-lamented young noble-
man arrived at the King's Head Inn, in Derby, on Sam-.
day afternoon, where they halted during the night, and
were removed early on the following morning for joterment:
in the family vault at Litchfield.—Derby Mercury.
