PRLYENTED.—Yesterday morning, about
six o'clock a duel was to. have been fought
in the rtelds leading to Chalk Farm, by'two most
respectable merchants in the City, in conse-
quetice of t dispute the day before oti, some point
connezted with the New pocks at St.Katharine's,'
but was fortunately preve►rted. The seconds had
just measured the ground, and delivered the pis-
tols to the two disputants, when some gentlemen,
friends of one of the antagonists, appeafed on the
ground, and by their intervention the dispute was
amicably adjusted. It appears that one of the

parties, in order to relieve the suspense of his
friends in case of a fatal result, lefit a. note on his
dressing table in the morning previous to his de-
parture, which was found almost imniediately he
had lett tlie house, when a council was suin-
tnoned;• the result of whose deliberationg was the
fortunate prevention of hostilities.
