NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, MARCH 10.

Our farmers brought a small supply of Wheat to this day's market,
and the arrivals also being moderate from the coast, the sale was brisk,
and good samples commanded an advance of Is. per quarter on last
Saturday's rates. Barley was exceedingly dull, and the finest samples
dillicult to quit, at our quotations, as the arrivals from the south are
u-usually large. Oats were in fair supply, and the best qualities taken
otT for seed at is. per quarter more money. Rye met a free sale at
late prices For Malt we had a very limited demand. In Beans or
Pease we likve little alteration to notice. For Flour we have a better
sale, though prices cannot be quoted any higher.

We have already communicated the fact of tile
arrest at New York of two men for a mw der committed nine
years ago in Ireland, and now furnish the following particulars
from a New York Paper:—The names of the prisoners aro
John and James Bamber, father and son. They, with their
family, occupied a small farm at home for two years, for
which the proprietor could get no rent, neither could he get
them, by peaceable means, to remove. Force to eject them
was resorted to, and a posse of police went armed to compel
them to evacuate. The police met with resistance from the
inmates, consisting of relatives and friends, besides the family
of the prisoners, and fire-arms were used by one or both
parties : and during the affray the sergeant of police, named
Ward, was killed by a shot from the house. In the con.
fusion the prisoners escaped by the rear of the house, and
secreted themselves in the logs, &c., till they finally eluded
pursuit and made their way to this country. \ They have
lived in this city since. Several friends who aided
them in their flight were arrested, convicted, and punished
for their participation in the affray. In the course of
the past year they were seen and recognised here by some
individual who had known them in Ireland, and intelli-
gence was forwarded of their whereabout. The fact was
communicated to Mr. Buchanan, the British Consul here,
who made it known to the police authorities, and the officers
undertook to aid in ferreting out the fugitives. James was the
first discovered, and lie was employed at Cram's distillery. By
tracing him the residence of both was ascertained ; Wednesday
morning they were both taken, the son leaving the house, the
father in bed. They did not deny their identity, nor their
participation in the affray, but they allege that they don't
know either of them killed Ward, and that no gun was fired
from the house till after one of their party, another son, had
been shot down by the police. They were both brought be-
fore Judge Ulshoeffer on Wednesday, by a writ of Habeas
Corpus, for the purpose of ascertaining whether this Govern-
ment has any right to give them up to the British Consul to Le
sent back to Ireland ; and the matter stands adjourned till in-
telligence shall be received from the Governor touching their
liability to be given up, the indictments against them, and
other documents connected with the affair, having been for-
warded to tho Executive with a view to the determining of
that point.
A duel took place a few days ago at Luneville, be-
tween the son of General C , and a brother officer in the
first regiment of Carbineers, named Pos, who was mortally
wounded, the ball having broken both his arms and passed
through his body. Mr. C— and the four seconds were im-
mediately put under close arrest. The funeral of the deceased
was attended by all the officers of the garrison, and produced
a solemn effect.

FATAL DUEL.—A slight misunderstainding took
place at Kurnaul on the morning of the 15th of October, be-
tween Captain Keating, of her Majesty's 13th Light Infan-
try, and Captain Hughes, of the Artillery. Ineffectual at-
tempts were made to reconcile the parties, and they met on
the erening of the same day. Captain Hughes received his
adversary's ball in his right side, and it passed through his
liver, howela, and spleen, lodging on the left aide. He had
strength to drive his buggy home, but died at nine P.m. next
day. Lieutenant Jennings, of her Majesty's Light Infantry,
was the friend of Capt. Keating and Lieut. Tirnbrell, Artillery,
of Capt. Hughes. The latter was only on a short visit to Kur-
naul, and was much esteemed. The affair, it was expected,
would lead to some inevstigation, as presentiug some unusual
features. By later advices we find that Lieutenant Keating
and Jennings had been arraigned before a Court-martial at
Kurnaul, for ungentlemanlike conduct, in refusing an expla-
nation, both verbal and written, offered by the late Captain
Hughes. The case for the prosecution had closed on the 16th
of November, and the prisoners had commenced their defence.
The second of the deceased had stated that the duel was not a

fair one. The Court would not permit any matter con-
nected with the capital crime to be entered into ; the charge
received from head-quarters beinr, merely that of unofficer
and ungentlernanlike conduct, as before stated ; neither would
they receive Lieut. Timbrell's evidence of the serious im-
pressions as to the cause of Lieut. Keating's treatment of him,
which the late Capt. Hughes, when dying, submitted to him.

SIR It. W. HORTON.—On the 15th of November

Sir R. Horton was on board the Malabar, in the roads of
Colombo, preparing to sail for Bombay, at which presidency
Sir Robert intends to remain a month, o n a visit to Sir Robert
Grant, and will then return to England. Sir R. Horton has
not been recalled. The causes of his return are these. His
Excellency, in the fist instance, made an earnest application
to be relteved, in the month of Oct., 1837, and it was not until
some months afterwards that circumstances led him to acquaint
the Secretary of State of his desire to remain in Ceylon until
the end of that year. Lord Glenelg, however, as was to be
expected, on the receipt of the first communication, took steps
for complying with Sir R. Horton's application to be relieved ;
and before the second communication was received in Eng-
land, arrangements had been finally made with Mr. Stewart
Mackenzie, who had been appointed to the Government. Sir
R. Horton was relieved, therefore, on his own application; and
there is no doubt but that. her Majesty's Government wculd
have acceded to his wish to remain longer had it been in their
power so to do,—Parbury's Oriental Herald.
