MARLBOROUGH-S7'REZ7'.

Brigadier-General Shaw yesterday brought John frarper,
Esq., Paymaster-General of the British troops its Spain
and Henry Chinnock, Esq., No. 12, Michael-place, Brolly-
ton, before Mr. CHAMBERS, on a peace warrant, for a con-
templated breach of the peace.
General Shaw handed a letter to Mr. CHAMBERS, who►
having read it, asked the complainant if he believed the
letter was intended to provoke him to fight a duel.
General Shaw replied in the affirmative.
Mr. Chinnock acknowledged that the letter was in his
handwriting. As the friend of Mr. Harper, he had written
to General Shaw, to ask reparation of an injury or to accede
to the usual alternative.

Mr. CHAMBERS stopped the parties, as they were about
to enter into an explanation of the circumstances which led
to the proposed rencontre, and observed that, the fact having
been sworn to, all he bad to do was to call on the implicated
parties to put in bail.
General Shaw said the matter in dispute had been the
subject of an action at law. He had paid tile money to
settle it, and, as be considered that proceeding final, it was
his intention to indict the defendants at the ensuing Old
Bailey Sessions.

Mr. CHAMBERS called on the defendants to put in two
sureties in 1001. each, and themselves in 2001. each.
The decision was immediately complied with, and the
parties retired.

EGYPTIANS IN ENGLAND.—Two young Egyr
tians, one seventeen and the other twenty, arrived at
Sheerness last week, to be instructed in the art of sail'
making in the dock-yard. There have been several young
men from that country receiving instructions in ship-build"
ing for some years past, whose period of sojourn is drawing
to a close. The progress they have made is truly asto-
nishing. There is a number of these Egyptian or Arab
youths in this country, and in France and Holland, learn
ing the various arts of civilized life. Some of them have
already, leturned, carrying with them richly stored minds'
Among the means most likely to add to the improvements
of the natives of Egypt, we cannot but think that the ITV
portation into that country of a few English ladies is 013 t
the least. Several of the young men have married in 6'o
country, who will take their wives home with them ; and'
as a specimen of the march of intellect among the sons
the desert, we take great pleasure in stating that ladies are
received at court. This intelligence has been commun'
cated in a letter from Mahomet Effendi, the son of an
Egyptian nobleman, who was sent over to England to be
instructed in the management of a naval arsenal, and whei
resided for several years at Portsmouth and Sheerness, and
returned to his native country last summer. In a letter
lately received from him he states that his wife (an jog"
lish lady) had been " presented."—Kent Herald.
BILWRAORDINARY SCENE.—A little before ten
o'clock on Wednesday morning a carriage drew up to the
vestry of the church, St. George's, Hanover-square, whey
there alighted from it a party elegantly attired, two °r
,
whom were about, it was supposed, to enter into the 1104
state of matrimony. No sooner did the supposed bride'
groom (an old gentleman) make his appearance than be
was seized by the collar in the most ruffianly manner by t'°
men dressed as gentlemen, who put forth all their strength*
to hurry him into a post-chaise, which they had previousif
kept waiting in the neighbourhood upwards of an WO.
The execution of this design was, however, prevented II
the lovely bride and coachman, who had nearly succe tcle;
in replacing the bridegroom safely in the carriage, witeh,
policeman came up, and the contending parties joineaf,ira
the vestry tho ladies who had previously alighted.
the lapse of about ten minutes they brought the old gent's"
man out, and placed him in the post-chaise, where he 1!asI
joined by a male friend, and drove off. As they boar
him into the chaise he said, " They want to d' mare me
sane." We understand the parties were a owl" ladau
about 18 years of age, residing near Grosvenor-square,
a venerable gentleman, of large property, in his 70th
residing in the vicinity of Southall, who lately became e
moured of his fair intended at a ball, and whose family hays
procured a commission of lunacy against him.
