•,,* This work has been compiled by the author with
unusual care and attention to the wants of Teachers. His
long and successful practice in the education of youth must
always give his books a decided preference over the gene-
rality of School Treatises, had they no other merit; but
Mr. Guy's school books possess higher claims : they are
more perfect in arrangement, more choice in selection, and
more classical in style than any of the elementary works
that have preceded them. Their extensive sale is proof
enough of their value perhaps; but large as it is, the pub-
liskers doubt not but every year will add greatly to their
circulation ; at p esent the annual sale of the whole is not
short of SIXTY THOUSAND ! and when the " GENE-
RAL SCHOOL QUESTION BOOK" has taken its sta-
tion (where it soon will he) in every respectable school in
the empire, the total sale of these admirable School Books
must he greatly increased. Teachers will see in this (Mr.
Guy's Ittest and most finished work) his intimate know-
ledge of the wants of schools; and, in the arrangement, the
power he possesses of abridging the anxious labours o
school business.

FATAL DUEL.

(From the Observer.)
On Friday morning a meeting took place near the
Red House,. in Battersea-fieldsi between an IriSh
gentlemae,
.Mr. Oliver Clayton, and another gentle-
man, Mr. Limbiickl the for Mer was attended on
the ground by .Mr., Bigley, of the Tower, and . the
latter by tieutenant Cox. The quarrel, which has
terminated- so 'fatally, - took place at Wood's Hotel,
in Panton-square, St. James's, where Mr. Clayton
had resided forabout three years. The parties were
engaged in a -discuasioo ielatiae to the late Catholic
Bill, of which Mr. Clayton .has been a very zealous
• opiit.iient, aikl'his antagonist, Mr. Limbrick, ap-
plied an epithet to him which, ;as a gentleman; be'
could not submit to, and he demanded a written
apology, or a hostile meeting. Mr. Limbrick re-
fused to give a written apology, though he had no
objection to express a verbal acknowledgment of his
errer in the presence of the parties who had heard
him utter the objectionable language. The conse-
quence was, that Mr. Clayton, and Mr. Bigley, his
second, and Mr. Limbrick, and Lieutenant Cox,
his second, proceeded on Friday morning, between
six and seven o'clock, to Battersea-fields. The
faithful servant of Mr. Clayton (James) was per-
mitted to go on the ground. No medical man was
present. Before it was perfect day-light, the par-
ties took their stations at ten paces, the pistols
having been previously loaded in the presence of the
seconds. It was so dark, that a labourer named
Skinner, who was at work in the fields was not ob-
served, and the poor fellow had a narrow escape of 1
his life.
The signal " fire" was given by one of the se.
conds, and Mr. Clayton fell. The ball from Mr.
Limbrick's pistol took effect, and entered Mr. Clay-
ton's left side, pierced the left lobe of the lungs,
and passed through and beyond the body to a dis•
niece of GO or 70 yard,. It whizzed close by the
head of the labourer named Skinner, and the noise
was the first intimation he had of the dangerous
situation in which he had been placed. He went to
the assistance of Mr. Clayton, as soon as he ascer-
tained that the gentleman WRS wounded. Mr.
Limbrick approached Mr. Clayton immediately after
he had fallen, and in a state of extreme agitation ex-
pressed his sorrow at the occurrence; the latter put
out his hand, which Mr. Limbrick grasped, and a
mutual expression of forgiveness took place. Mr.
Clayton was carried to the Red House, and put to
bed. Mr. Powell, the surgeon, who resided in the
neighbourhood, was sent for. He arrived in a very
short time, and having examined the wound, ex-
pressed his decided opinion that the injury would
prove fatal. Mr. Clayton expressed a wish -that a
Clergyman of the Church of England should be sent
for, and a message was sent to the Rev. Mr. Wed-
dell, of Battersea, desiring his attendance, who,
with the utmost promptitude, waited upon the
dying man, and* afforded every consolation that he
could upon the distressing occasion.
Mr. Clayton is the son of a highly respectable
gentleman, a banker at
.Galway,. and his relatives
Fre all of the Catholic
.religion. About four years
ago he publicly abjured the Catholic religion, and
subsequently has been engaged in writing against
the claims of the Catholics in various periodical
works. He was also the author of several pam-
phlets, and of a work called Ten 2lliles Round
London.
When the Rev. Mr. 'Weddell was introduced to
Mr. /.3layton, the latter said " I was to blame, I
ought to have accepted a verbal apology, which was
offered by Mr. Limbrick; but I absolutely insisted
upon having a written apology." Mr. Clayton was
entirely divested of ail fear of death; he displayed
die most astonishing firmness, and expressed his en-
tire hope of pardon through the merits of his Re-
deemer. He was particularly anxious to have the
ordinance of the Lord's Supper administered to him
by a Clergyman of the Church of England, to con-
vince his friends of the sincerity of his belief in the
doctrines of the Established Church, and of his con-
version from the errors of the Romish Church.
Mr. Powell declared that the exertion of taking
the Sacrament 'would be so great, that it would
shorten the life of his patient several hours, as the
blood issued from the wound very copiously, merely
by the exertion caused by speaking to his friends.
Mr. Clayton said that he knew he should not re-
cover; but he would not press the Rev. Gentleman
further, though he was most desirous to take the
Sacrament, as a testimony that he died in the time
Protestant faith.
The Rev. Mr. Weddell observed, that a merciful
God would regard the sincere desires of the unfor-
tunate gentleman, and be equally pleased as if the
solemn ordinance had been administered; and Mr,
Clayton said he was content.

Mr. Clayton said that for some years he never
had risen from his bed without going upon his knees
to pour forth his supplications to the Deity till that
morning. It was usual for him to conclude his
morning's devotions by saying the Lord's Prayer;
but knowing that he had not forgiven the gentleman
whom he was about to meet with deadly weapons,
he could not be a hypocrite and say " Forgive us
our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass
against us," and he left his bed-room without say-
ing his prayers. The Rev. Mr. Weddell paid the
most unremitting attention to the dying man; and,
had he been his son, the Rev. Gentleman could not
have shown more anxiety to afford the consolations
of religion to the penitent duellist. Mr. Clayton
said, " I thank God I have had the satisfaction of
shaking hands with the gentleman who fought with
me, as I wish to die in peace with all men."
The conduct of James, the servant of Mr. Clay-
ton, was beyond all praise, and Mr. Clayton ob-
served, " I don't like James to be absent, he is a
faithful friend." Shortly before the Rev. Gentle-
man left Mr. Clayton, he said, " Into thy hands,
O Lord, I commit my spirit." When the surgeon
was asked his opinion as to the wound, Mr. Clayton
said, " My dear Sir, don't flatter me,—speak out,
I know it is impossible I can recover; I speak to
you as a dying man."
About seven o'clock on Friday night Mr. Clayton
expired, surviving the wound as nearly twelve hours
as possible.

lie had for some time paid his addresses to a
young lady who possessed a fortune of 10,0001., but
a quarrel took place a short time ago, and they re-
turned each other's letters. During the day he
often alluded to the lady, and said, if it should
please God that he should recover, he would renew
his addresses. • Information of the circumstance was
sent to Mr. Carttar, the Coroner for Surrey, who
has appointed an inquest to be held on the body this
day. The deceased was 38 years of age.
