AN UNUSUAL OCCURNENCE.—Yesterday morning
an occurrence which of late has become like angels'
visits, " few and far between"—a duel, took place clots
to Wormwood-scrubs. It appears that about seven
o'clock, just as day was breaking., a postchaise, belonging
to Mr. R. Newman, the well•known postmaster of
Regent-street, which contained two gentlemen, was
observed to turn from the Uxbridge-road at Shepherd's-
bush, up Wood-lane, leading to Wormwood-scrubs, and
was in two or three minutes followed by a gentleman's
carriage, in w hich were also two gentlemen, and behind
the latter was a g, utleman on horseback, who is suppos. d
to have been a surgeon. The parties by whom they
were seen followed up the lane, and on reaching nearly
to the top found that they had not gone on to the
Scrubs, but, had got out in the lane. and got over the
fence into a meadow belonging to Mr. John Pain, the
proprietor of Old Oak farm. Information of the affair
was dispatched to the police as soon as the patties
were observed, but their movements were so prompt that
almost as soon as the persons who followed them could
get to the part where the carriage and postchaise were
standing, the road being very rough, two shots were
fired, and in less than five minutes the five gentlemen
returned over the fence together, the one supposed to
' be the surgeon iestaurly jumping on his horse end gale
lopirg off, whilst the other four gentlemen, who appeared
to be on friendly terms, got into the carriage, which im-
mediately drove off, followed by the empty postchaise.
After the vehicles had got some little dietance down the
lane, they were met by a sergeant and constable of
police, but, observing their approach, the carriage was
driven swiftly oa, and the police did not interrupt their
progress; and on reaching the end of Wood-lane, they
returned towards town. All that could ba gleaned from
the drivers of the vehicles, by the party who followed
them, was that one of the principals was a gentleman well
known on the turf, and the other a member of a club in
St. James's street. It is said that all the parties can be
identified by those who saw them.

THE LATE MR. HENDRY.—We arc enabled to
state, upon the very best authority, that the deceased
Mr. Hendry, whose remains were exhumed in London,
was, up to the period of his death, constantly attended by
three of the most eminent medical gentlemen of Glasgow.
We are in possession of the names of the gentlemen
alluded to; one of whom, we understand, was so con-
stant in his attendance upon the deceased, that he slept
in the same room with his patient up to the hour of the
death of the latter. This is so far satisfactory, that it
entirely puts asido any idea of foul play.—North British
Mail.

GLASGOW, DEC. 8. —Cotton—Our market for
cotton wool during the week has been depressed, and
prices have fallen about lid. lb. At this reduction
prices are firm, but it is Let expected that an extensive
business will be done till the turn of the year. The
cotton goods market has been somewhat depressed, but
prices still keep to the old mark. Pig Iron—The prices
of pig iron may be quoted to-day at 465. 6d. cash, and
475. three months over delivery. The market is quiet,
but at these quotations a fair business has been done.
