There is now building in the Duck-yard of
Philadelphia, a three-decker, larger than any hitherto
launched. She is pierced for 140 guns ; she is to be
called the Pennsylvania, and Jonathan calculates she
will do an enemy pretty considerable damage. Unfor-
tunately she is already suffering under the dry rot.—.

DOVER, SEPT. 7.—A SEA FIGHT.—A
most extraordinary sensation was created here this morn-
ing at about seven o'clock, when nearly the whole of Dover
was either upon the piers, the heights, or Marine Parade,
in consequence of the following circumstance :—A Mr.
CualrEss and his lady had been living here, at the City of
London Hotel, these six weeks. Within these two days a
Mons. SOI E, a French gentleman, with a wooden leg, tall
and good-looking, arrived at the same hotel ; this morn
ing, at five, the lady of Mr. Cumess left his bed cau-
tiously, and started off with M. SOLE, for Calais, in a fine
four-oared galley. Soon after, Mr. CUILTESS discovered
his loss, and pursued the parties in a thirty five feet six_
oared galley ; the men were to be paid 8/. for their
trouble. About three or four tidies from shore the rival
boats came together after a smart chase, the husband lying
in the bottom of his galley during the chase ; when along-
side his runaway-wife's boat, he jumped up. This so
frightened the lady that she fell back as if shot ; she fainted
of course, and went into the usual most appalling fits.
A dreadful sea fight then ensued ; oars, boat-hooks, &c.
were used with the greatest effect on both sides. The
crew of M. SOLE'S boat at last gave in,
in consequence of
the terror they were in from their having had a hole stove
through her bottom by the terrific agitation of M. SOLE'S
wooden leg. In fact, the sailors were in the most dread-
ful fright of being foundered during the whole of the fight,
from the action of the wooden leg as aforesaid. It was
really a strange sight to see the two boats come into har-
bour, Mrs. CURTESS weeping salt and bitter tears, with
her hair, like .Nroaa's, hanging in negligent festoons over
her face and back, and the husband looking alternately
savage at his wife, and fiercely at the proprietor of the
wooden leg. Alons. SOLE, it is said, gained great honour
and his w ooden leg during the celebrated three days in Paris.

James Postlethwaite, late in business as a linen-draper
at Newington Causeway, was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on
behalf of Messrs. Allan and Smith, wholesale linen-drapers,
of Friday-street, Cheapside, and by Mr. Bentley in person.
The insolvent had formerly compounded with his credi-
tors at Horsham, where, up to 1829, be had carried on
business, and paid, on 2,000/. or 3,000/. worth of debts,
10s. in the pound, to the greater portion of them, and to
such as would not consent to the composition, he paid 20s.
in the pound, in instalments. In 1830, he recommenced
business at Newington Causeway, and contracted a deb t
with Messrs. Allan and Smith, to the amount of 3301. for
goo Is. At this time, it further appeared, that there was
a warrant of attorney against him for 3501., in the hands
of a Miss Greenfield, of Tivo Mile Ash, near Horsham,
whom he represented as a relative and a creditor, of which
circumstance Messrs. Allan and Smith were ignorant when
they f.irnished him the goods. In March, 1832, when he
was indebted to them nearly 4001., one of his bills was
returned dishonoured, and another in the April following;
but they continued to have some transactions with him
notwithstanding, on his representations that his business
was going on so well that, with a little indulgence, he
would be in a situation to meet his obligations to them.
Ultimately an execution was put in on his premises, under
the warrant of attorney, by which all his property was
swept away, and they lost ell hopes of recovering their
debt, " considering themselves," in the words of Mr. Allan,
" in the hands of a rogue."
The COURT adjourned the case, for the production of
the insolvent's lawyer, the insolvent's ledger, and of Miss
Greenfield, with the warrant of attorney.

ALLEGED MURDER OF A FATHER BY

HIS SON.

Yesterday, a young man, named Robert Richards,
about 21, was brought to Hatton Garden Police-office,
from Rosomond Street station-house. The prisoner and
his father occupied an apartment at the house of a Mr.
Tanner, shoemaker, of No. S, Portpool-lane, Gray's Inn-
lane, and were in the habit of being on the most com-
fortable terms with each other until Sunday morning last.
The prisoner had been out of work, it appears, for some
time past, and was supported by the deceased. On Sa-
turday morning last, the prisoner and the deceased left
home together, when the former took the key of the room
door along with him, and did not return home at the usual
hour of his father's going to bed. The deceased inquired
everywhere after him, but could not find him, until at
length he met him in the street, rather the worse for
liquor; they proceeded home together, and prisoner hav-
ing procured a light, they entered the apartment, whe❑
high words commenced between them, and the inmates of
the house were disturbed. The deceased was beard to
exclaim—" I will not suffer you to remain out till these
late hours" (the time being half-past one in the morning),
the moment after the words were repeated a blow was
struck, and struggling was heard in the room. The
landlord and a lodger, named Parsons, forced open the
door, when they discovered the deceased and his son on
the floor struggling desperately, the latter being under-
neath. The deceased was in a dreadful passion, with a cut
over his eye. They were extricated from each other, and
placed upon their legs, on which the deceased aimed a
blow at the prisoner, and seizing him by the neckerchief,
he threw him down a second time. An alarm was made,
and several policemen entered the house, when they found
the prisoner's father lying upon the floor, apparently dead.
Medical gentlemen were instantly called in, when, on ex-
amination, life was found perfectly extinct. The police
felt it their duty to take the prisoner into custody and lodge
him at the station-house.

Mr. Basaine, the Inspector of G. division, stated that
information of the circumstance had been forwarded to
Mr. Stirling, the Coroner, for the appointment of the
Inquest ; and the prisoner was detained until the result of
the inquiry be made known.
