POLICc.

Bow-se:item-1n consaquenee of a dispote between an At.
torney's Clerk, of the came of M'Crac, and a countryman of
his, of the name of lktecimtesh, a journeyman tailor, at a public
house, the latter sent the following challenge :
" Mr. M'Cree—Yon are to come to cholk-farm to-morrowe
snort ing at halfe past six o'clock, and you are to harm yourself
with Whit ever you please acept sword.
ltha, Warder Strtute, Win Macintosh."
On the &ming after the challenge was sect, the Landlord of
MaCiatosh, who is a tailor, applied to Lavender, the Officer, to
attend at Chats Farm ; the Officer, after hearing all the circum-
stances, thought them too contemptible to attend to, but the.
Landlord was so much alarmed for his friend, that be agreed to
reward him rib-rally if he would attend. Lavender called upon
Macintosh, to know the cause of his courage fading, when his de-
fence was, that there was a mistake in the time, and that be had
been to Chalk Farm an hour before the time he had appointed in
his note.
The account given by M'Crae for his non-attendance was, that
his wife uad not given him the challenge till after the time had ex-
pired, when he applied at the Office for a warrant against the tai-
lor. A difficulty arose, in consequence of his not being able to
swear to the hand-writing of Macintosh, end on inquiry it turned
out that he could not write, and a boy, the son of his landlord,
1 etwetu nice and ten years of age, had written the challenge, as
dictated by Macintosh. The parties have since been brought
.ogether and reconciled.
On Monday information was received at the Office, that two
Gentlemen were going to fight a duel at Chalk Farm, in comae-
quence of which, Rivett and Adkins were dispatched to take
them into custody. The Officers could not meet them in the
course of the evening, and went to Chalk Farm in the morning,
but no mighty combatants appeared. Upon inquiry it was dis-
covered that they were two foreigners, Sancta:, a journeyman
jeweller, who lodges in Princes-street, Soho, and reabeir, a Jour-
neymau watchcase nicker, who lodges in Bateman's-buildiegs.—
It is suepnsed that their friends learnt that the Officers were in
pursuit of them, on Monday evening, got them together, and
made them shake hands. The Officers, however, apprehended
Sandoz, on Thursday evening, and took him before Mr. RtAD,
;who made Isles live bag to keep the peace, himself in 1001. and
two sureties of 501. each.

bard at this office, against Mr. Eaton, Proprietor of the Hendon
Stage., the suit of John Richards, of Wamn-street, Fitzroy-
allure, for carrying above the limited number of outside passer...,

when Mr. Eaton stlicitod time to bring forward witnesses to
prove the contrary cf what the informer had sworn, that he had
fi teen outsides, twelve being the limited number. In suppc:t of
the information, Rickards ,calied.his wife, and another informer
of the name cf Sam. Strachno, who all swore to the fifteen out-
sides. To negative the oaths of the informer% two reputable
young men, natives of Hendon, who were passengers on the
coach, were called. They proved to the satisfaction of the Ma-
gistrate, that there were only thirteen outsides, and cooseqesently

Yesterday evening, about seven o'clock, as the Earl
of PICLET, and his son, the Hots. Captain PAULICT,
were taking a ride in his Lordship's phaeton in Hyde-
'park, the horses took fright and ran away with the
vehicle. Captain P. in endeavouring to check the
impetuosity of their career, broke the reins. The
'horses, when they arrived near the new bridge. ran
"against the wooden railing which separates Rotten-
row from the foot-path, which they carried away
completely. By the concussion Lord PAULSIr and
his son were thrown oat of the carriage with a consi-
derable degree of velocity. The fiery animals then
dashed along until they came to the Serpentine Ri-
ver, into which they would have undoubtedly plung-
ed head-long, had it not been for the presence of
mind and spirited conduct of Mr. DUDDING, of Hen-
rietta-street, who was in his barouche with his Lady.
Mr. D. on Rerceiving the direction which the hornet
were taking, drove his carriage, so as to bring his
cad e in contact with those of Lord P. ; and at the
- moment when their destruction appeared inevitable,
• they were preserved. The horses. were then secured
by the by-minders. Lewd PAULVT, being much
'bruised by the fall. WAll'ionYeyed to his house in
Strafford-place, in Donn:tic's carriage. Captain

tion- Was the more miraculous, as he fell upon his,
head.
Yesterday morning one of the horses in Mr. NEIL-
MN'S carriage at Dulwich, took fright a little beyond
the Elephant and Castle, and ran with great violence
down the London Road, where he fell, and in recover-
ing entangled his leg in such a manner thst it became
necessary to cut the traces; in' the meanwhile Mr.
NEILSON was extricated from his perilous situation.
The animal still continued restive, and In the attempt
to manage him, he again fell, and by his plunging
severely bruised a respectable tradesman in Walworth,
while endeavouring to assist the coachman, who was
also very much hurt.
About two o'clock, on Tuesday rnorninean alarm.
ing fire broke out in a house in Brc)ont's-eourt, Bath,
but it w- nr.unatelyeatingnishedbytheeeryprompt
exertions of the high constables, with an engine be-
longing to the Bath Fire Offices. A bird hanging ,
up in the room was suffocated, and a woman -who
slept ^herein was in very imminent das pt". of losing
her life : all her effects were destroyed. Monday
evening a house in Holloway was in danger of being
burned.

At one o'clock yesterday morning, as the watchman
was going his rounds, hediscovered a fire in the office
:of hiri.C,oxf copper-plate printer, of
ings, Chancery-lane. The office was situated in a
narecnir place called Bowl and Pin-alley, at the rear
tf the buildings, and there is not a single fire-plug
r. either of those places, or several other little courts
:nd alleys. that surround it. A small engine from
LinColn's-inn reached the scene of alarm and terror
shortly after the accident was discovered ' • and tl •
neighbours. kindly and humanely furnished it with
water from the little reservoirs which they had for
domestic use. Before three o'clock some of the en-
gines belontins to The regular Fire Offices arrived.
By their activity and ingenuity in their business, a
supply of water was procured from a plug in Chan-
cery-lane, and by four o'clock the whole strength of
the flames wait*. subdued. The poor inhabitants of
the -surroun mg crowded neighbourhood, on the
alarm of fire in such a situation as theirs, in the
dead hour of the night, were in the utmost conster-
nation ; but happily no lives were lost, nor any per-
sonal injury sustained. Mr. Cox's office, however,
and the workshop of Mr. Lumley, a carpenter id-
joining, were entirely consumed ; the Old Swan,
Bream's:buildings, and several smaller houses re-
ceived partial injury.

CHINO'S PATENT WORM LOZENGES.
TO PArents, Guardians. and others who have the
-a- eve of Children, this valuable medicine cannot be too strongly
recommended. Worms are a disease few children escape. They
destroy the appetite, weaken the organs of digestion, produce pains
In the stomach and bowels, Captive the body of its nourishment,
occasion emaciation add paleness, stop the progress of growth, and
are the cause of the most alarming convulsions, which too often
terminate in death. Nor arc their effects less severe on grown per-
sons ; by ulcerating the stomach and bevels, they are often the
cause of lingering complaints, which prove fatal at last, and subject
the patient to the most excruciating tits of agony and distress. In
childhood, every disease with which a child is afflicted is also high-
ly exasperated by them. The certainty and safety both, of their
prevention and cure, by-the above medicine, is so fully estidalished
to the satisfaction of the Public, by the testimony of the first and
most leading charactets of the Nobility, and of others of bleb re-
spectability, who have witnessed its remarkable effects in their own
families, that it is only necessary to observe, this is the period of
the season wbeasuch a medicine ought tabe given to children and ,
others, to prevent any attack of this complaint. - 1
