MOO.RE'S DUEL WITH JEFFREY.

Mr. Moore's own account of his memorable duel— or
rather, no duel—with his critic Mr. Jeffrey, is too long
for quotation—but it contains passages which we cannot
omit. 'They are additions to what the world already
knows on the matter. "In the month of July, 1806, I
had come up to London from a visit to Donington-park,
having promised my dear and most kind friend, the late
Dowager Lady Donegal, to join her and her sister at
Worthing. The number of the Edinburgh containing
the attack on my Odes and Epistles had been just an-
nounced. Though, on the first perusal of the article, the
contemptuous language, applied to me by the reviewer,
a good deal roused my Irish blood, the idea of seriously
noticing the attack did not occur to me, I think, till
some time after. I remember, at all events, having
talked over the article with my friends, Lady Donegal
and her sister, in so light and careless a tone as to render
them not a little surprised at the explosion which after-
wards took place. I also well remember that, when the
idea of *ling out Jeffrey first suggested itself to me,
the necessity I should be under of proceeding to Edin-
burgh for the purpose, was a considerable drawback on
my design, not only from the difficulty I was likely to
experience in finding any one to accompany me in so
Quixotic an expedition, but also from the actual and
but too customary state of my finances, which rendered
it doubtful whether I should be able to compass
the expense of so long a journey. In this mood
of mind I returned to London, and there, whether by
good or ill-luck, but in my own opinion the former,
there was the identical Jeffrey himself just arrived, on a
short visit to his London friends. The first step I took
towards my hostile proceeding was to write to Wool-
riche, a kind and cool headed friend of mine, begging of
him to join me in town as soon as possible ; and intimat-
ing in a few words the nature of the services on which I
wanted him. As Woolriche's answer implied delay and
deliberation, •it did not suit, of course, my notions of
the urgency of the occasion ; and I accordingly applied
to my old friend Hume, who without hesitation agreed
to be the bearer of my message. It is needless to say
that feeling, as I then did, I liked him all the better for
his readiness, nor, indeed, am I at all disposed to like
him a whit the less for it now. Having now secured
my second, I lost no time in drawing up the challenge
which he was to deliver ; and as actual combat, not par-
ley, was my object, I took care to put it out of the
power of my antagonist to explain or retract, even if
he was so disposed. Of the short note which I sent, the
first few lines have long escaped my memory ; but after
adverting to some assertion contained in the article, ac-
cusing me, if I recollect right, of a deliberate intention
to corrupt the minds of my readers, I thus proceeded :
—` To this I beg leave to answer, You are a liar ; yes,
sir, a liar ; and I choose to adopt this harsh and vulgar
mode of defiance, in order to prevent at once all equivo-
cation between us, and to compel you to adopt for your
own satisfaction, that alternative which you might
otherwise have hesitated in affording to mine.' I am
not quite sure as to the exact construction of this latter
part of the note, but it was as nearly as possible, I

think, in this form." ,
The angrty bard borrowed his pistols from the poet,
Spencer (now best known by the imitation of his style in
The Rejected Addresses), and Spencer was primarily the
means of sending the Bow-street myrmidons to Chalk
Farm, to stop the two little men from doing murder—
" I must have slept pretty well, for Hume, I remem-
ber, had to wake me in the morning, and the chaise
being in readiness, we set off for Chalk Farm.
Hume had also taken the precaution of providing a
surgeon to be within call. On reaching the ground
we found Jeffrey and his party already arrived. I say
his "party," for although Horner only was with him,
there were, as we afterwards found, two or three
,of his
attached friends (and no man, I believe, could ever boast
of a greater number), who, in their anxiety for his safety,
had accompanied him, and were hovering about the spot.
And then was it that for the first time my excellent friend
Jeffrey and I met face to face. He was standing with the
bag, which contained the pistols, in his hand, while
Homer was looking anxiously around. It was agreed
that the spot where he found them, which was screened
on one side by large trees, would be as good for our pur-
pose as any we could select ; and Horner, after express-
ing some anxiety respecting some men whom he had
seen suspiciously hovering about, but who now appeared
to have departed, retired with Hume behind the trees,
for the purpose of loading the pistols, leaving Jeffrey and
myself together. All this had occupied but a very few
minutes. We, of course, had bowed to each other at
meeting ; but the first words I recollect to have passed
between us was Jeffrey's saying, on our being left to-
gether, What a beautiful morning it is ! " Yes,' I an-
swered, with a slight smile, a morning made for better
purposes ; ' to which his only response was a sort• of as-
senting sigh. As our assistants were not, any more
than ourselves, very expert at warlike matters, they were
rather slow in their proceedings ; and as Jeffrey and I
walked up and down together, we came once in sight of
their operations ; upon which I related to him, as rather
a propos to the purpose, that Billy Egan, the Irish bar-
rister, once said, when, as he was sauntering about in
like manner while the pistols were loading, his antagonist,

a fiery little fellow, called out to him angrily to keep his
ground. Don't make yourself unaisy, my dear fellow,'
said Egan, sure, isn't it bad enough to take the dose,
without being by at the mixing up ? ' Jeffrey had scarcely
time to smile at this story, when our two friends, issuing
from behind the trees, placed us at our respective posts
(the distance, I suppose, having been previously mea-
sured by them), and put the pistols into our hands.
They then retired to a little distance ; the pis-
tols were . on both sides raised ; and we waited
but the signal to fire, when some police officers, whose
approach none of us had noticed, and who were within
a second of being too late, rushed out from a hedge be-
hind Jeffrey, and one of them, striking at Jeffrey's pis-
tol with his staff, knocked it some distance into the field,
while another, running over to me, took possession also
of mine. We were then replaced in our respective car-
riages, and conveyed crest-fallen to Bow-street."—From
Memoirs of Thomas Moore.

THE WEATHER.—It is a remarkable circumstance
that an unprecedented quantity of moisture has fallen
this season all over this country, Ireland, France, Swit-
zerland, Germany, and other parts of Europe. In
America it has been little better ; in Africa and India,
also, an unusual amount of rain has prevailed. Much
damage must have been done to the winter cereal crops
in this country and Europe generally.
THE WEATHER IN IRELAND.—Another violent gale
from the S.W. has been blowing for the last 24 hours,
accompanied by torrents of rain. Several of the in-
land mails due at 5 this morning have not yet arrived,
the delay being doubtless attributable to the severe state
of the weather. The accounts from the country univer-
sally complain of the backwardness of all agricultural
operations. In fact, out-of-door work has been almost
completely suspended for some time past.
APOTHECARIES' HAW—Names of gentlemen who
passed their examination in the science and practice of
medicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thurs-
day, Jan. 6, 1853 :—John Dunning Tucker, Sheepwash,
Devon; William Henry Ayling, Portsmouth.
SUICIDE AT PENRITH.—At an early hour on Friday
morning, a rumour was circulated at Penrith, which un-
fortunately proved to be too well founded, that Joseph
Daniel, an apprentice with Mr. James Leggett, chemist,
druggist, and grocer, had destroyed himself by taking a
large quantity of prussic acid. The unfortunate young
man was about 18 or 19 years of age, the orphan son
and only surviving child of the late Mr. Daniel, of Pen-
rith, a fine youth, but somewhat reserved and eccentric
in his habits. R appeared from the evidence adduced at
the coroner's inquest, that Daniel had recently shown
symptoms of mental derangement. George Goodburn,
a fellow apprentice, in his evidence, produced a phial out
of which Daniel had drank the prussic acid. It had
contained an ounce of the weaker acid, being two per
cent.,and was found on a soap-box standing upright, and
empty, with the stopper beside it, close to the spot where
deceased had fallen. It appears that Daniel had
attempted to poison himself about six months ago with
laudanum. He took down a bottle from the shelf, and
said to George Goodburn "I'll poison myself." George
replied "You're a fool if you do." However, Daniel
put the bottle to his mouth, and swallowed a quantity
ere Goodburn could knock the bottle from his mouth.
Goodburn immediately administered tartar emetic,
which brough the poison off his stomach. After he re-
covered he said to George Goodburn, " I was rare and
bad, I'll never try that trick again." The jury returned
a verdict of temporary insanity. The young man ap-
pears to have destroyed himself for the express purpose
of giving annoyance to his master.
ROMANTIC AFFAIR IN PARIS.—On Monday evening
about ten o'clock, a crowd collected on the Pont Royal,
around a young girl, who appeared in great agitation.
" The world," she cried, "is nothing. Why live ?
Death conceals another existence. You think you die,
but, on the contrary, it is then you are born. He calls
me. Igo to him ;" And before she could be prevented,
she rushed to the other end of the bridge, and climbing
on the parapet, threw herself into the Seine. The gene-
ral clamour gave the alarm to the boatmen near, who
jumped into their boats, rowed out into the river, and suc-
ceeded in saving the young girl. After the first succours
had been given her, she was taken before the Commis-
sary of Police, to whose questions she declared that she
was a dressmaker, residing in the Rue St. Hyacinthe.
She had been on the point of marrying a young man,
when he suddenly died, and her grief for his loss had
weakened her mind. It was, she said, in a more violent
attack of delirium than usual, that she had thus at-
tempted to put an end to her misfortunes by suicide.
RATIFYING MARRIAGES IN FRANCE.—The Concorde
of Rheims states, that last week nineteen marriages took
place at the same time in the village of Mazy-Moulins,
near Chateau-Thierry. It appears that the cause of this
unusual number was that the curd had persuaded the
parties concerned to ratify in the church their marriage
some years back contracted in the civil form before the
municipal officers. The Concorde states that the united
ages of the parties thus married exceed two thousand
years.

STATISTICS OF THE SCOTCH PIG IRON TRADE FOR 1851-
52.—The production during the year 1851 is estimated
at 756,000 tons, and during 1852 at 77,000 tons. In
1851 the stock in stores in Glasgow, was 130;000 tons,
and in makers' hands and in stores at other ports,
210,000 tons—total, 340,000 tons. In 1852 the stock
in stores in Glasgow was 251,000 tons, in makers' hands
and in stores at other ports, 189,000 tons—total,
440,000 tons. In 1851 the shipments from all ports in
Scotland were 449,000 tons, of which quality 178,000
tons were sent to foreign countries, including tranship-
ments at Liverpool, and 271,000 tons were sent coast.
wise. In 1852, 430,000 tons were shipped from Scot-
land, of which 212,00 d were sent abroad, including
transhipments at Liverpool, and 218,000 coastwise. The
smallest number of furnaces in blast during 1851 was
105 in January ; the highest number was in December,
115. In 1852 the lowest number was in the month of
July, when there were 106, and in the highest in De-
cember when there were 113.

PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY.—A committee was formed
early in the spring of last year, with a view to the
establishment of a Photographic Society, but the ex-
istence of the patent rights prevented the object from
being carried out at that time. The discussion, how-
ever, which took place on the subject between Mr. Fox
Talbot and the committee, and the appeal made to that
gentleman by"the presidents of the Royal Society and
the Royal Academy, induced him to abandon them,
and, with a slight exception, to leave the act unfettered.
This obstacle being removed, the committee have re-
sumed their labours ; and it is understood that nearly
200 persons have given in their names as desirous to
join the society, and that a meeting will shortly be
called to launch it, and elect its officers. It is intended
to hold meetings once a fortnight during the first year
of its formation, when communications will be read,
specimens exhibited, and discussion ensue on subjects
and novelties connected with the art. Probably a, la-
boratory will, in time, be established, where experi-
ments may be carried on and processes tested. A gal-
lery, too, of photographic pictures will doubtless form
part of its proceedings, and remain open during the
usual seasons, when the progress of the art will be
shown from year to year. The subscription, it is said,
is to be one guinea annually, with an entrance fee of
one guinea. The bringing together individuals who
have hitherto been working at the art, in ignorance of
what each was doing, cannot fail to assist in its develop-
ment.—Journal of the Society of Arts.

RAILWAY ROBBERIES AT BRISTOL. —A short while
since particulars appeared of an extensive series of rob-
beries from the goods shed of the Midland, Great West-
ern, and Exeter Railways, by which very heavy losses
were cast upon those companies. All efforts to detect
the theives proved for a long time unavailing, but at
length, by the exertions of Sergeant Summers, of the
detective police, a respectable tradesman, named George
Denett, who had two considerable businesses as a gro-
cer, liquor-dealer, and beer-retailer, was arrested as a
receiver, and upon one of his houses, which was situated
near the goods shed of the• Midland Company, being
searched, some knives which had been stolen from one
of the parcels were found. He was also indicted for
stealing a quantity of silk and twist, the property of the
Midland Company, and for receiving the same. He was
found guilty upon each charge, and sentenced to seven
years' transportation.
