Duelling appears to be again becoming fashionable.
Since our last allusion to this vicious propensity two
hostile meetings have taken place—one in England
the other in Florence. Something must be done by
way of prevention, otherwise we shall have occasion
to record the same melancholy narratives of brutality
and bloodshed, which some years ago were of such
frequent recurrence. Fines have already proved
ineffectual as correctives. Imprisonment even
turned out to be of no avail in diminishing the
number of these very gentlemanly attempts
at assassination. There must, consequently, be
contrived a punishment better calculated to rid society
of the pest by which it has so long been afflicted.
Wbat this punishment ought to be, according to our
opinion, has within the last few days been intimated
in these columns. It is, consequently, only neces-
sary to revert to our argument as then expressed for
the purpose of enforcing its conclusions yet more ear-
nestly upon the popular attention, now that additional
reasons have been afforded for some administrative

interposition.

entitled "Affairs of Honour," it will be seen that in
ono case Viscount MALDosi was the adversary
of Lieutenant S. M. HAWKINS, and that in the other
Signor PALAQI was the adversary of Lieutenant T.
J• FITZSIMON. The latter couple, it appears, fought
with swords, and the former with pistols. Neither
of the duels proved fatal to the belligerents, although
in the one which occurred in Florence the hand of
the Italian was nearly severed off at the wrist by his
antagonist. Upon this exquisite feat of adroitness,
Lieutenant Ferzsistox appears to bays been formally
complimented (an honour ineffable and never-to-
be-forgotten !) by no less illustrious a per-
sonage than General the Prince of LICHTENSTEIN.
Under such circumstances, of course the anguish en-
dured by the unhappy wight maimed as already men-
tioned, was assuredly more than compensated by the
glory devolving from that very casualty upon his op-
ponent. And is it after this fashion that society is to
be conducted in an age supposed by many dreamers
to be peculiarly one of a generous and decorous arbi-
tration ? Pahaw ! the folly of the fantastic fantasies
indulged in by the promoters of the Peace Movement

There is, perhaps, no branch of the business of the

suffi-
cient to prevent the stoppage of proceedings by n a
count out," without any further debate than may be
occasioned by an objection taken by JOIEPH HUME
or some of the few financial reformers in the House,
and a brief answer by some Minister, the original
proposition being then carried by an overwhelming
majority, if any division should be insisted on. In
truth these matters are generally left to the discretion
of the Government for the time being. It is sup-
posed that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will
guard the public purse with sufficient vigilance—that
he will require a stimulant rather than a check, a
spur than a bridle. The subject, too, is of a dry
and uninteresting character, that will scarcely attract
an audience, save of the economists, who are brought
by a sense of duty, and a sufficient number of Minis-
terialiste, to maintain a House, and carry every dis-
puted question by a sufficient majority. A defeat,
or even a doubtful victory, on a supply vote, is pecu-
liarly significant, and exhibits an extraordinary de-
gree of weakness on the part of the Government, or
a strong feeling on the part of the independent Mem-
bers, on the subject-matter of the vote.
How, then, did it happen that so very close a con-
test took place last night on the amendment of the
Hon. Gentleman the Member for North Warwick-
shire, to reduce the vote for the expense of maintain-
ing the several buildings in the department of the
Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland, by
1,2361. 10s., the sum appropriated to the repairs of
St. Patrick's College, Maynooth ? The majority of
2 (!) by which the vote was carried could only be
regarded as a virtual defeat, and it seemed
indeed strange that Ministers should be placed
in jeopardy for such a sum. We believe, how,
ever, that the matter can be easily and clearly
explained. It was not because any sudden fit of eco-
nomy or retrenchment had seized the popular repre-
sentetives, or that they were determined hencefor-
ward to scrutinise the public expenditure with a
more stringent exactitude. Far from it. We should
indeed, rejoice if such symptoms of activity and vigi-
lance were generally exhibited. It was not even a
party demonstration against the Whig Ministry. It
was merely a manifestation of the disgust and indig-
nation excited, first, by the unwarranted and
unjustifiable aggression by a foreign potentate on the
independence of the British nation and the prerogative
of the British SOVEREIGN ; and, secondly, of the
factious proceedings of "the Brigade," the recognised
champions of the Vatican, in wasting the public time,
and practically arresting the progress of legislation
in a vain attempt to control Parliament, and
to prevent the designs of an overwhelming
majority, not only within but
,outside its walls,
from being carried into execution. This was the true
cause of this singular result, and it should teach the
" Spartan band" a salutary lesson as to the possible
consequences of the course that has been deliberately
and advisedly adopted.
They may not only materially damage the inte-
rests of their co-religionists, but injure the sacred
cause of civil and religious liberty, of universal tolera-
tion, by the injudicious and impolitic tactics they have
resorted to. The point itself may be of a very trivial
character. The denial of 1,2361. 103. for repairs
of the Roman Cathoic colleges could be easily reme-
died by the Roman Catholics of Ireland, if they
thought proper. The more probable result would
be that a much larger sum would be required next
year, in consequence of the want of timely attention,
which would be readily granted when the excitement
had subsided. But, as a straw thrown up will indi-
c ite from what quarter the wind is blowing, the
proceeding has its value as pointing out the
state and direction of public feeling. We would,
then, emphatically caution the Irish Members against
persevering in the course on which they have
entered. They have already done quite
enough (aye, and far more than enough)
to testify their unflinching fidelity to their
creed, and to record their protests against the
resistance to the Papal authority. Any further
factious opposition, any further straining of the
rules and orders of the House, contrary to their real
spirit, will only do incalculable it jury to themselves
personally, and to the cause which they are anxious
to promote. Ours is a friendly warning, and we
trust that it will be taken in the same spirit in which
it is given

REUNION Des ARTS,—This society gave its seventh
Poi ree hot night, at the Private Rooms, 27, Queen Anne-street,
to a very crowded and select company. We must congratu-
late the c, tmnittee and its directors, as it bide well for the
success and prosperity of t' is excellent society, by their ju-
dicious management and good choice of music, which was
most admirably performed. blendelssohn's trio by Madame
and Herr Goffrie and Mr. Goodb in , was played with gieat
spirit and precision, also a duet from the Pronhite, by those
accomplished arti-ts, Madame and Herr Goff i 6. and a duet
on the cornet a-piston by two gentlemen amateurs, Mr.
Jathan and Mr. Lang, was most delightful; white songs
and solos by Mdlle. Johansen, Mdlle. Rummell, Miss Mary
Rose, Madame Lema re, Mr. Gollmick, Mr. Rummell, and
Mr. Chatterton, drew most enthusiastic applause. Mdlle.
Rummell, in German, and Millie. Johansen in her Swedish
songs, were successively encored. Mr. Smolett's clever per-
formance of the " Carnaval de Venise" on the flute was
greatly applauded, and the most agreeable evening was pro-
longed to a late hour.
1 It may he interesting to :some of our readers to
hear that Richard and Ann Beenham, the grandfather and
arandmother of Jane Wilbred, are living in the parish of
Goring, in one of the almshouses, founded by an ancestor
all. P. Powys, Esq., of Hardwick° House. The old couple
had entirely lost sight of their grandchild, until the horrible
cruelty of Mr. and Mrs. Sloane had brought her name into
such notoriety. They are now both far advanced in years,
and express themselves to be far more anxious " to go and I
see Jane," than all the wonders of the Crystal Palace.--
Berkshire Chronicle.
NARROW EscerE.—A letter from Bombay of May
14, says :—" Lord Dalhousie has had a very narrow escape
from a broken neck. On the 26th ult., his Lordship went to
pay a visit to a strong fortress on the frontier called North
Kangra. Whilst traversing the hills on a stout country
pony (called a goatb), he came suddenly upon a heavily.
loaded camel (called oonth) in turning a sharp angle of the
ascent. The Governor-General was nearly thrown over the
precipice; but fortunately escaped with a few bruises. A
fatal accident of a similar nature had occurred at Subatho,
only a few days previously, to Lieut. Sale (the youngest son
of the General), who fell down a precipice, and was killed on
the spot."

MELANCHOLY BOAT ACCIDENT —COWES, JUNE 16.
—On Sunday afternoon, three young men belonging to
Messrs. Francis' cement mills, hired a boat with the inten-
tion of proceeding to Southampton, and passed through
Cowes harbour about 5 nat., the wind blowing strong from
the westward, and puffy. They had proceeded as far as the
red buoy of the "Brambles," when the sail "gibed" and
the boat went over. Fortunately the accident was observed
by Captain Ward, of the Bth Dragoons, who was watchieg
the boat from one of the windows of Debourne House, and
mtorboasonepnr.vesdbinig4the accident, ran to the quay, and s-nt a boat to
their assistance. The accident was also seen from the Stag

and they succeeded in reaching the spot in time to save the
lives of Challenor and Cox, but the other unfortunate young
man, William Welch, aged 26, formerly of Backchurch-lane,
Whitechapel, a cooper by trade, had sunk before the boats
reached them. They were all good swimmers. Up to the
present time the body has not been picked up.
REPRESENTATION OF GREENWICH.—By the death
of Mr. Barnard, a vacancy is caused in the representation of
the borough of Greenwich. The late Member sat for the
borough nearly twenty years, having been elected in 1832.
A supporter of the Government will be immediately brought
forward.
