Saturday morning, as a detachment of the West

brig, which was passing at the instant. The poor'
fellow was landed and conveyed to the hospital, with
out any hopes of recovery.

ment, Or Connaught Rangers, marched six compa.
Hies to Castlebar, and four to Westport. This is the
first time the BSth has been stationed in its native
province, since it was originally raised under the late
Earl of CLANRICARDE.— The success of this corps in
recruiting and receiving volunteers from the Irish
Militia, enabled it to complete the Ist battalion in April
last ; since which time, in consequence of the exer-
tions of its OtEurs ; his MAJESTY has been graci-
ously pleased to augment the establishment from four
to six hundred rank and file, commencing the 25th of

(with the exception of one Captain, one Lieutenant,
and three Serjevits,) and nearly one half of the pri-
vates of the Beverley Volunteer Infantry, have volua.
tccred to serve in the Local Militia. '•

tween Thomas Pierce, of Castle-Island, Esq. and
Captain Shuldorn of the Longford Militia. The
former was attended by John Mason, of Castle-
Island, Esq. and the latter by Captain S.indys, of
the same regiment. Each having exchanged two
shots without any injury, the business was Happily
accommodated.

In the afternoon of Friday se'nnight, a duel was
fought at Grimsby, between George Hewson, Esq.
a Commander in the Royal. Navy, and Mr. Frazer,
Town Clerk of Grimsby, originating in•a dispute with
Wm. Marshall, Esq. of that place (whose daughter
Mr. Hewson had married) respecting a receipt for the
payrn-nt of some taxes, which had led to a trial at
the last Lincoln Assizes, and in ythich Mr. Frazer
was professionally employed as an attorney, for the
opposite party. The duellists • met at five o'clock,
attended by their seccnds, and after firing one shot
each, Mr. Frazer's second and his- sstrgeon insisted
that no farther proceedings should take place. After
some altercation, the parties separated.

' F—, of the Ist West York, and a Lieutenant
J. C—. • After having exchanged a shot each, an
apology was made by the Captain, which terminated
