DISH, Esq. Collector of Customs at Falmouth and
Montego Bay, and brother-in-law to Mr. CANNING,
who was appointed to the situation when he was
in power. The parties having exchanged three in-
effedual shots, the seconds interfered, and adjusted
the affair. The meeting was in consequence of a re-
port that the latter Gentleman sent home to the

that a decision of the Hon. J. H. in the 'Court of
Admiralty was improper, and contrary to law, and
implying or -insinuating, that he leaned to the mer-
cantile interest.
