AFFAIR OF HONOUR.

On Thursday morning a personal encounter took
place between two gentlemen pretty well known in this
city (Cork)—one a retired captain, lately come to reside
in the neighbourhood of Cork, and who has made himself
conspicuous on several occasions for his pugnacious
demeanour—the other a young gentleman, son of a
late major, residing about a mile from the city. It ap-
pears that on Wednesday evening the two "gentlemen"
were playing at billi.rds, in company with several other
parties, when Captain made a remark to the effect
that "he was the crtly gentleman present, all the
rest of the company being common potato feeders"—
an observation which roused the indignation of the
young gentleman already alluded to, who then and there
defied the captain to mortal combat. The challenge
was accepted, and the affair was arranged to come off.
the following morning at Ballinamought. Seconds were
procured, and on Thursday morning the two " princi-
pals" with their seconds proceeded in a car to the
ground. Two shots were fired on each side, when the
gallant captain observed with an oath that " he was very
sorry for what he said last night, as his antagonist had
shown himself a gentleman by the spunky manner in
which he had behaved." A remark to which the other
responded by saying, " Sir, you behaved in a manner
last night." This was resented by the captain, and the
quarrel was about to he renewed, when the seconds inter-
fered and succeeded in bringing about a reconciliation
between the parties. Since the occurrence above men-
tioned, it i, stated that the raptain, who was one of the
gen-
tleman Ion; resident iii this city. The injuries received
by the captain are of so serious a nature that the pasty

TFRHEsTATION OF THE CABE OF THE ARCHDEACON OF
TAUNTON.—The ob,tacles N\ liich the Bishop of Bath and
Wells has Interposed compelled the Archbishop either
to forego further proceedings or to constitute a nenewcourt,
as he was empowered to do under the Clergy Dis-
cipline Act. His grace's legal advisers, however, have
given it as their opinion that, though undoubtedly he
might avail himself of the powers conferred'by the act,
the attempt would be so full of difficulty, perplexity,
and procrastination as to render the full prosecution of
the matter unwise. The Archbishop has, therefore, de-
clined any further action in the cas
