We yesterday copied, from a Morning Paper, an ac-
count if the late stoppage of a Bank in Berners-street. We have
low authority to state that it was incorrect in that part of state-
ment respecting Mr. IL FAUNILIMOT where it is mentioned, " that
the Trustee was panic-struck at the discovery, and communicated
the fact to the other partners of the Bank," &c. &c. as we find that

AFFAIR or HONOUR.—Yesterday morning a meeting
took place, within a short distance of Wimbledon Common, be-
tween M. FILMILICK Lansaw, late an (Meer in the French army,
and Haar B. Calms, Esq. an English Gentleman, who had also
held a command in the same service. The former was *needed by
owe of his owe emmerysteen, and the latter by a Gentleman much
celebrated in the lists of duelling. The choice of rodhaving
been preelously made, the Frenchman appeared ea with
a short sword for his friend; but Mr. Canena's second immediately
took an objection, stating that be would not permit his Wend to
light with an in of odds: as be was perfectly aware that Mr.
Cams did not know the use of the sword, it would be unfair to
suffer him to contend with one who did; pistols were the common
arms of all duellids, not rmly in this country but on the Continent,
and therefore were on all sides unobjeedesable. These arguments,
were, after some few straggles, admitted to be just; the 'wand
was seseasered, the parties Seed together, and were both in tbeliame
instant slightly wounded, Mr. CAtTia receiving his antigoolses
fire in the right arm' whilst Ms lodged in the calf of Mr. Lanosser's
leg. The Weird of Mr. CAILVIS then observed, 'that they had re-
spectively shown blood enough to prove that they were mit deficient
in courage, and the affair was amicably adjusted.

-.raw--
THZ WINO V. WILLIAM BRITTON DYSON.

This was a prosecution against the defendant for an
assault, with intent to commit a rape, on Ann Wheable,
a servant of Mr. Cooper's, York. buildings, New-road.
The prisoner is already known to the public as having
been tried on a charge of murder, in throwing a young
woman into the Thames near Westminster-bridge, some,
time ago, when she was drowned.
The Jury found him Goths of the assault only.
The CHAIRMAN, in pronouncing sentence, told the
prisoner that be had reason to thank the Jury for the'
mercy shewn to him. He was'an extraordinary person,
and had better take care of his future conduct. The
Court would only sentence him to one month's iraprion-
ment, which was too little certainly, but he would not
now retract the sentence by inflicting >t severe one.
Several cases of uttering bane coin were gone into, but none of
them possessed much interest ; most of the delinquents escaped.— ,
Onefoir sinner, aged in years and inigeby, 'mused the Court by
her perfect acqtatimance with the usual Swell of disposiar of the
business, and cross-ezandned a hula boy with as much tact as the
oldest Pnanisiwsdnis at the Bar, tagging two or three favourable
responses with " That's a dear!"

Letters were received yesterday, from Maranham, to
the Bth ult. Some further disturbances had recently
taken place between the two contending parties, in which
a few lives were lost : it irhowever expected, that u hen

buco, is known, this place will send in its submitsion to
• the Emperor.

parish, and other places In that new, are dia „it,
