DUEL.—On Thursday last a rencontre took
place on Kelso race ground, between Mr. PRINGLE, son
to Sir JOHN PRINGLE of Stitchel, and Captain NOEL,
both officers in the 92d Regiment, in which we are sorry
to learn that the former was severely wounded. Captain
NOEL has since been apprehended, and, along with his se-
cond, lodged in Jedburgh gaol —Edin. Evening Courant.

As a proof of the value of land in Guernsey,
it may be stated that an elegant market, almost rivalling
that of Liverpool, and covered with a glass roof, is build-
ing on ground that actually sold at the rate of 150,000/.
per acre • This is inferior to some ground sold some time
ago by Earl SEFTON, at Liverpool, for upwards of
200,0001. an acre. Both are, however, outstripped by
the South Bridge, at Edinburgh, which is erected on
ground that sold for nearly 400,000/. an acre.—Essex
Herald.

The Essex Herald gives the following ac-
count of the state of the prison calendar at Chelms-
ford, on the eve of the gaol-delivery about to take
place there :—At present there are for forgery, 1 ;
house-breaking, S ; burglary, 4 ; horse-stealing, 3 ;
sheep-stealing, 2 ; stealing poultry, 14; rabbits, 1 ;
highway-robbery, 2 ; p issing counterfeit money, 1 :
for having wheat in their possession, supposed to
have been stolen, 2 ; corn-stealing, 2 ; and 9 for
offences of other denominations. The person charged
with ibrgery is the son of a respectable farmer. Thei con-
duct of the prisoner somewhat borders on insanity.
He is charged with having, on Wednesday last, at
Braintree, forged and countetfeited an order for the
payment of money, and offered the same for payment,
with intent to defraud Jame' GOODEVE SPARROW, Esq.
and others. The name counterfeited was JOSEPH MAR-
RIAGE ; the sum 23/. What appears extraordinary in
the conduct of this young man is, but a few days previ-
ously lie was defeated in a similar attempt upon the bank
of Messrs. Mir.as and Co., at Witham, where he offered
a cheque, drawn in the same name, for 45/. A commu•
nication had taken place between the bankers, and the last
forgery was instantly discovered. The circumstances at-
tending the highway robbery at Saffron Walden, with
which JOHN BARKER, stands charged, are these :—The
prisoner W a., yesterday se'nuight, employed by the parish
of Saffron Walden in breaking stones for the road ; about
eleven o'clock at noon, he absented himself from his work,
and between twelve and one was observed to pass through
Littlebury on the great road in a direction for Chesterford ;
and, when only a quarter of a mile distant from the former
place, he met a young woman named REBECCA PLUM, of
Ickleton, whom he stopped, demanding her money. The
poor creature, terrified by his threats, gave him 655. in
money, the property of BENJ. PLUM; with this the robber
made off, and the young woman, on reaching Littlebury,
gave the alarm, and in less than hour the constables traced
him to a gravel pit near Walden. He denied having any
knowledge of the robbery, nor was there any part of the
cash found upon him; but the complainant, REBECCA
PLUM, has sworn positively to his person.—There is not
one female amongst the 39 prisoners now here for trial ;
31 of them are single men ; 11 of them under 20 years of
age, the oldest is 44. Notwithstanding their youth, we
lament to add, upwards of 20 of them have been confined
within the prison walls, and some of them on three, and
others on four occasions. We find that of the 39, only
nine have received any instruction. The youngest culprit
is a boy only twelve years of age, who is charged with the
offence of house-breaking ; this boy has been taught to
read his Bible, but his father, who has six children, has
several times beta in confinement for crime.
