pursuers.
10. The pursuers were recalled, and the Light Brigade re.
tired into second line.

11. The division, lastly, took close columns of brigades, de-
ployed into general line of parade, and gave the general salute.
The whole of these movements were executed with a degree
of precision, notwithstanding the slippery state of the ground
from the wet, which excited universal admiration, and Teals'.
ed the unqualified approbation of the Commander-in-Chief.--'
It would be difficult to imagine any thing except, perhaps, an
actual field of battle, more interesting to the feeling of the
spectators, than the view of the troops when performing some
of the attacks ; ouc brigade charging at full gallop, the other
supporting them in the rear ; the roaring of the artillery in the
flanks; the irregular discharged carbines by the pursuers, the
sounding of trumpets, and the neighing of steeds—all combined
in forcing upon the mind a powerful idea of a scene of real
warfare. When the last movement was completed, the rain
ceased, but not before the splendid appointments of the officers,
particularly of the fith Hussars, who wore theirs for the first
time, were materially.damaged'hy the rood and wet. The
Duke of York left the grotind,.accompanied as before, and re.
turned to town, where his 'Lloyd Highness immediately changed
his wet clathes. It is painful to state that a fatal accident oc-
curred in the early part of the day. Just at the commencement
of the attacks, a gentleman was riding across the ground, when
the discharge of artillery frightened his horse. The animal
became unmanageable, and running away at a furious rate,
threw his rider, who, coming upon his head, was killed on the
spot. A surgeon was immediately procured, but the unfortu-
nate gentleman was dead before he arrived. A few falls took
place amongst the dragoons, owing to the state of the ground ;
but we beard of no other accident of a serious nature. A great
deal of contention for precedent took place along the way home
amongst the coachmen, in consequence of the immense number
of carriages there were there ; mauy of which bad reached town
before others were ahle to clear the heath.

The jlth 'Hussars and 17th Laueora will be reviewed by the
Connnander.in-Chief on Friday next.

A. DUEL.—BPtWOBB 5 and t 3 o'clock yesterday
morning, a duel Was fought in a field within is
,short distance of Hampstead. The principals
were CURISTOPHEIt FORBES, Esq.,- late of the
Royal Marines, and II ENIt Y G.NVEnawooul Esq.
The former gentleman was attended by W.
LITTLE, Dig., the latter by C. P. OsnonnE, Esq.
/Vier the adjustment of preliminaries, and w));00
the parties had taken the ground, an objection
was Made by Mr. OSBORNE to tilt? DSc. of speciat
cies by Mr. Foani;s, which the objector strongly
contended was in direct violation of that equal
chance which was decreed by the established
laws Mr. Lulu maintained, that
as his friend Mr. FORBES had for many yearsi
worn glasies to remedy an organic defect, he
could not be supposed, to have adopted them for
a particular occasion, as would Seem to, he meant
by the insinuation thus thrown out, Mr. OSBORNE
disclaimed any unkind intention on his own part,
but on the part. of his friend should maintain his
.former objection. The greater part :of.this Con-
e rsa tion escaped the attention of the principals,
hut Mr. nittnxs demanding the cause of the de..
lay, was informed of the objection, and irinne-
diately removing the impediment, remarked, that
for his part he would be content to fight blind-
fold. The parties immediately took their places,
and fired by signal. The first shot proved harm-
less, but freSh pistols were demanded, and at the
second fire Mr. WEDGWOOD received Mr. Fon-
ES'S ball hi the right thigh. By the interposi-
tion of friends, the affair was then amicably ad-
justed : the wounded gentleman returned to town
immin and is in .a fair way of recovery.
