DUEL EXTRAORDINARY-PROVIDENTIAL
Escarr•. !—On Tuesday last a respectable though very
young tradesman, and an equally young driver of the quill,
repaired to an excellent auberge in the High-street for the
purpose of spending a social hour, when some unfortunate
subject of discussion being started, high words arose
between them, and as the argument was probably inflamed
by the influence of sundry libations offered to the jolly god,
the young men alluded to left the inn—but instead of
proceeding peaceably to their homee, the frolicsome
Bacchus introduced them to his brother Mars, who, not-
withstanding their hitherto pacific occupations, and their
being mere bourgeois, persuaded them to settle the differ-
ence according to the laws of his court of honour, the more
espectally as the knight of the quill declared his objection
to fight like a blackguard. His antagonist, however,
doubted their right to decide otherwise than in the old
English fashion.—Mars quickly brought the dispute to an
issue by granting them, (as a personal favour) a particular
dispensation to act as gentlemen on this occasion ; and they
forthwith repaired to the house of the very young trades-
man, who brought out his pistols, and proceeded with his
friend, without either a second or looker on, to the Regent
Gardens, where they fought most valiantly at two o'clock
on Wednesday morning. The Knight fired first—but hit
nobody—though his ball whizzed by, ominously close to
the long ear of the other; his antagonist then tried to
return the compliment, but his pistol merely flashed in the
pan. Those sapient warriors then proceeded to reload
their pieces, when the strong arias of the law interfered in
the shape of two watchmen, who effectually prevented, for
the present, any fatal oonsequences arising from their san-
guinary intentions. Cheltenham Chronicle.

The sale of indigo at the East India House,
which commenced on the 15th instant, terminated yester-
day. The total quantity declared was 9,736 chests, of
' which 1,128 have been withdrawn ; so that 8,60 S chests
only will have been put up, consisting of about 4,720 of
low to fine shipping Bengal, about 2,734 of consuming
ditto, 850 Madras, chiefly of ordinary quality, 300 of
Onde, almost all good, and four of Manilla. The announce-
ment of so large a sale had ler some time excited much
attention, and considering the quantity which would still
violet,'.: '''''''''
remain over for the October sale, amounting to not less
than 12,000 or 13,000 chests, it was generally thought
that prices would rule much lower than in the last sale ;
although from the stocks being much exhausted, particu-
larly on the Continent, it was expected there would be
much competition, which has been the case, as the num-
ber of foreign buyers has been greater than was almost ever
known. At the opening of the sale, Bengal indigo, sell-
ing from 7s. 6d. upwards, was considered to have gone
frem Sd. to 4d. below the prices of the April sale, whilst
that from ss. to 6s. 6d. went at 6d. per lb. advance. As
it proceeded, a uniform steadinesa was manifest in the re-
sult of each day's business; and, taking it throughout,
there is very little fluctuation to notice from the com-
mencement; occasionally the better descriptions, swing to
the support afforded by the proprietors, went at a less re-
daction, and the consuming Bengal at a greatcr advanoe•
The Madras and Oude sold 4d. to Bd. per lb. higher.
About 1,000 to 1,200 chests have been bought in by the
proprietors, who are holding for better prices. The ship-
pers are supposed to have taken more largely than usual
_;
and although the home consumers have purchased to '
extent, it is thought that they have not su
nearly so much as they intended if prices had little. It is
