A DUEL.

GIBRALTAT;„ meeting' took place beyond tin::
Spanish Linn on the 2d instant, between Captain the Hon,
Dudley Pelham, R.N., of the Wasp, stationed here, and
Lieutenant-Colonel Gore Browne, of the Royal Artillery.
The former attended by Major Garrett, K. H., command
ing the 46:h regiment in this garrison; and the latter by
Lieutenant Rowan, of the Artillery. The cause of dis-
pute was, Captain Pelham having withdrawn his acquain-
tance from Colonel Browne, in consequence of a com-
plaint made of him (Colonel Browne) by an officer of his
corps. Captain Pelham disavowing any intentional offence
in his manner of withdrawing, and offering to express his
regret if be had, without meaning it, done so in an insult-
ing manner, but maintaining his right otherwise to act as
he had done, and to continue to do so, if he thought fit
under the circumstances alluded to. This not being con-
sidered sufficient by Colonel Browne, who still demansed
personal satisfaction, the meeting took place as already
stated ; and after a shot being fired on each side (Captain
Pelham having fired in the air), Colonel Browne stated he
was satisfied, and the parties h!ft the ground without other
retraction, apology, or reconciliation. This affair, from
the peculiar circumstances cf the occurrence and the cha-
racter of the parties, has created much sensation here
amongst all classes.
