• Dust.—ln WooJvilie (Nlississippi), a duel was lately
fought between Judge CHILDS and General JOUR. The former
was shot in the head, and, of course, wet materially iijured. He
was armed with a double barrel gun, the General with a rifle.—
American Paper.
We hear that the interview of the Governor and De-
puty-Governor of the Bank of England, with the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER on Wednesday last, led to nothing conclusive.
The affair stands qver till the arrival of Lord Livaaeoot in
town, which, we believe, will be on Monday next. Meantime it
is adthitted that no hope bas been held out by the Cstanext.-
toe of the Excisseauta of a favourable view of the application,
whenever it shall he laid before Lord LIVERPOOL. On that
point the few remarks which fell front him were the reverse
of encouraging. By their own conduct the Bank Directors had
brought themselves into a situation too serious to be treated
with disregard, though the evil, in his opinion, would work
its own cure; but in any case, he was not aware that
assistance could be given to them by the Government. By
the terms of the Bank Charter, it was imperative on that body
to make certain advances to the Government, who, in their claims
on them, still kept themselves considerably within the prescribed
limits; and it could not be permitted that the public service
should suffer detriment because the Directors had been
guilty of indiscretion in the management of their affairs.—
On some degree of merit bang manned by the Governor and
Deputy Governor of the Bank for the timely assistance afforded by
the purchase of the annuities to make good the pension list, when
no other public body or association of individuals would venture
to undertake it, the Cnamun.t.oa remarked, that it was impossible
to treat it in any other way than as a private contract, which had
no connexion whatever with their corporate privileges.-7lnies.
CliAliGE OF ATTEMPT TO MOKDKR.—Mr. MAYO.
Solicitor to the Honourable Board of Excise, arrived at Stratton,
on Wednesday sennight, and on the following morning, the;
Magistrates, with his able assistance, proceeded to investigate the
circumstances of the poisoned sugar recently sent to Mrs. liendy,
of Moorwinstow. After a patient and laborious enquiry of five
days, the business was concluded at eleven o'clock on Tuesday
night, when Ilieltord Sargent, blacksmith, of that parish, was
fully committed to liodmin gaol, by Vowits, Esq. and the
Rev. JOHN Davis, Magistrates, charged " on suspicion of having
wilfully, maliciously, and unlawfully administered, or caused to
be administered, poison and other obnoxious or destructive sub-
stance, to William Hendy, Francis C. Heady, and Joseph Carveth,
with intent to nturder them." Sargent is one of a numerous party
with whom suits are pending in the Court of Exchequer for smug-
ling ; but, in justice to the others, it must be observed, that not a
tittle was elicited to implicate them in the diabolical charge. A
portion of the sugar was analysed by D. ICtao, F.sq. of Stratton,
and found to contain nearly one 13th of arsenic ; 360 grains gave
28 grains of arsenic.—Plynt.iuth Paper.
Tuesday Light a dreadful accident happened at
Lord Li vearoor.'s residence, at Walmer Castle. A
servant of the name of Haw kins, who was cook in the
family, had been out during the evening, and returned
home in a state of intoxication. Upon retiring to his
own room, one of his fellow-servants, of the name of
Christopher West, followed him, and observing him
take a gun front the closet of the room, he endeavoured
to get it out of his hands, aad in the struggle, the gun
went off, and lodged the contents in West's head,
whereby he was immediately killed. This sad event
has deeply affected Lord and Lady LivEßPoor., and all
the family. The Coroner's Inquest, which was held on
Wednesday. brought in a verdict of is Accidental
Death."—Christopher West was brought up in Lord
LIVEI4POOL'S family, and had recently been promoted
to be his Lordship's own servant, for his good conduct.
By the Margaret. HENDERSON, arrived off Ports-
mouth, we have received advice: from the Cape of Good
Hope to the 20th of September. We extract the fol-
lowing from a Cape Toon Paper:
" WRECK or THE MELERAVE CAETLEO•••CATE TOWN, SEPT. 7.
Saturday evening, soon after nine o'clock, the ship lblulgmve
' Castle,tons, 450 Captain Itsuv, from Gravesend the 30th of
May, bound to Madras and Calcutta, unfortunately got on shore
' near the Moulin Battery, at Greets Point. Early on Sunday morn-
ing she bilged, and was completely Wed with water. Owing to
the assistance received from the shore, and the weather continuing
fine, the greater part of the cargo will be saved; but it is feared
the hull must becomes total wreck. The night was calm and star-
light. The loss of the vessel is attributed to the strong in-setting
of the current, and a sudden haziness coming on, which caused a
deceptive appearance in the distance of the Light-house. A few
minutes before the ship struck, she was in 14 fathoms water;—
the Captain at the gangway, attending to the lepdsman, and all the
hands on board looking out."
