MR. ADOI.PHUS AND MR. ANDREWS.

An unpleasant persmaal reneontre took place at the
Clerkenwell S2ssions on Monday evening, between the
above two Le.u•ned Counsel, not much dissimilar in its
origin at least, from that which led to the duel between
I\lr. Adolphus and Mr. Alley. It appears, that on the
• day alxive-mentioned Mr. Andrews and Mr. Adolphus
svere opposed to each other in a parish or pauper set-
tlement cause. In the mime of the pleadings Mr.
Adolphus displayed n hat Mr. Andrews thought was an
undue warmth, and used some coarse expressions not
applicable to the complexion of the case. Mr. Andrews
accordingly interrupted Mr. kdolplius, and intimated
llLif he Thought un apology was due flir such language.
Mr. Adolphus theaobserved, that if the Court consider-
ed itself insulted, he was bound to apologize, and he
did thereby apologize accordingly. Mr. Andrews replied,
that there was a party, in addition to tho. Court, to
whom an apology was also due. Hereupon Mr. Adol-
phus retorted, with quickness and warmth, that he
should make no apology to a person who hal received
his education in a cobler's stall. Mr. Andrews made no
farther remark, but sat down.
Whea•the business of the Court was over, and when
'Mr. Adolphus was going down stairs, on his way home,
--after =robing, he received a violent blow front an um-
brella held by Mr. Andrews. Mr. Adolphus, king
siwiluriy armed, tried to return the compliment, and a
.kind of fencing match or cudgel play took place between
them. ':Mr. Adolphus being the more expert of the two
ist a few minutes disarmed his opponent, and assumed
the attitude of a regular bruiser, and as demo Fortune
or Bellona (we know not which) still continued to smile
upon hint, be gave Mr. Andrews a black eye at the
first onset. Mr. Andrews was preparing to return the
compliment with interest, when his uplifted arm was
arrested by Mr. Cirdler, the Magistrate.—We need
scarcely add, that both parties were immediately bound
over to keep the peace.

The Hull Pa&et says,—" We understand that this
port is open for the importation of all kinds of grain
(except beans), duty free, for the ensuing three
months."

The Hull Advertiser says—" It is with great plea-
sure we have to announce the laying on of a vessel at
this port for the East Indies, to return hither with a car-
go. This is the commencement of trade with that country
of which we trust to have many instances to relate in
future. Indeed arrangements are, we understand, under
consideration, which will probably lead to an extensive
itercourse with that quarter of the Oahe. The situa-
tion of Hull, and its inland communication, render it a
favourable situation for a.depot of East India produce ;
and we see no reason why our fellow townsmen should
:not participate in those commercial advanta!res, which
Liverpool and other towns have alre uly derived, from
engaging in what has been found hitherto a lucrative
trade.

A Letter _from Arundel, in Sussex, dated May 26,
says :—" We are happy to announce the very Battering
.agricultural report of the crops in the western division
of this county, which is confirmed by the greatest ob-
servations of the fitrmers residing along the coast, the
-South Downs, and in the fiTtile Weald of Snssex. The
genial showers of rain, which have copiously fell for the
last week, have miracuously improved the Lammas
*own Wheats beyond all Iranian anticipation, and upon
all soils they bear a most luxuriant and fruitful growth.
'The Lent sown Wheats have sprung up with the most
healthy verdure. Owing to the long drought, the Oats
do not promise well, and the crop appears thin and
Atraggling in many places. I'h3 Barley sowing is not
completed, but the late rains having nowpenetrited the
,ground plough depth, the business will be finished this
week. The early sown seeds have rooted well, and
already show the most gr:ltifying hopes of a plentiful.

N.\TIONAb

pro:luce.• The Clover Lands never looked let .rf, and
the Grua Meadows will boar a rich swath, if ch.?. wea-
ther should continue warm. We feel a pleasure in
stating, that throughout this district a greater breadth
of Wheat has heel% s.►wu this year than was ever re-
nuinbered.

The ample blossoms in the cyder countries are under-
stood to have sustained very little injury by the late
frosty nights and tall winds ; but as yet it is impossible
to judge of the probability of their produce, although
appearances are generally fitvourable. 'flie refreshing
rain experienced within these few days has had the most
beneficial effects on vegetation.

Muentm.—Early year( rday morning (Tuesday), the body
if • respeetable young female of the name of Mary Ashford,
residing at Erilingum Slade, was found in a pit of water,
near Peru's Mills, in the parish of Sutton Coldtii Id, hi tiles
county, having several marks of violence upon her persgia,
which it is supposed were the cause of her death. A young
man of respectable commetioes, who had been iii comeauy
with her the evening imitate is in custody, on suspicion of
having committed the hot rid deed. The wifortnnati- 1.C111411'

Wednesday last ineibeel aid was Catlett in to Mu... John Wolf.
near Germantown, who comalained of a violent pain iu fire
shoulder, extenttilig to the neck..--It was supposed to be a
rheitinatie attack, and treated accordiygly. On Friday,
when lar. limikle saw the relied, wile was about twenty. -
two years and six months old, he was struck with an expres•
eion of wildness in the eve, awl generat aspect of alarm.
These symptom;. for the first lime imiliecel an idea that the
case was very different time what it had heretothre been sup
posed. 'file Doctor asked for smile water; as soon as it was
brought, the p:. tent sh rue': Infek with adarm—the water was
then taken out of his sight, and poured from one vessel to
another; the sound produeeil a still more sei ions alarm in the
patient, and left no longer any doubt as to the nature of the
disease. Upon strict enquiry it was found that Mr. Woif Mad
been to Philadelphia in December last, was bit in the calf of
the leg, through his woollen 131111;110011S, by a small dog. No
apprehension was excited, nor did any suspicion arise of any
id consequence until Frida. last. Tlit• nature of the disease
being ascertained, Mr. Wolf felt his situation, and expressed
his conviction that his death was inevitable. He requested
his father to put him in irons--this his father refttsed to do;
the young matt then had the irons procured, put a padlock
on, locked it, 31111 gave the key to his father. He then de.
sired to see the Rev. Mr. tack, with whom he had much re-
ligious conversation, prayed with fervour, and resigned
himself to the will of his Creator.—Soon after the departure
of Mr. 11'ie-.1 the disorder attained its height, aud Mm. Wort
died, about six o'clock opt Saturday evening.
