horses ! Whereupon, speaking of the last-named
viand, " For my own part," exclaimed N.
FONVIELLE, with a solemnity of utterance, that at
the close of it, elicited shouts of laughter, " For
my own part I bad never tasted any horse
before the siege, and I can swear on my
word of honour that after the siege I will eat horse
very often ! " Reading the record of 'this assemblage
at the Cannon-street Hotel, we cannot but regret
that it was ever holden. Reading, too, the report
of tho speech delivered at it by M. FONVIIILLE, we
cannot, most certainly, but. regret, for his own sake,
that it was ever delivered. It was a wind bag, that
after all, however, was, perhaps, only the natural
out-come of ballooning.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

TIIE NAVAL DUEL OFF HAI3ANA.

Details of the naval duel off Habana have come to
hand. On the night of Tuesday, November the Bth,
the Bouvet, a French war steamer, carrying five
guns, left the port, and waited for the Prussian war
steamer Meteor, carrying three guns. The latter, at
the expiration of the prescribed twenty-four hours,
followed the Bouvet, and a duel which had
been arreinged between the officers of the
two vessels, commenced. The Bouvet opened
with five shots,. and the Meteor quickly
returned them. The Bouvet, which carried
a larger crew than her antagonist, made an unsuc-
cesful attempt to board the Meteor. Her rigging
became entangled, and her main and mizen-masts
were carried away. The Meteor seat a shell into
the French vessel, smashing her steampipe. The.
screw of the Meteor becoming disabled she became
unmanageable. The Bouvet, finding her position
critical and needlessly fearing capture, sailed
away, her antagonist firing the meanwhile.
This victory caused great excitement in
Habana, and the German merchants intend
entertaining the officers of the Meteor. at a
grand banquet. The German loss was three killed
and one wounded. The Bouvet had only three
wounded.
