A duel took place at Calais on Sunday morning, be-
tween Captain ALLEY and Mr. Isaac, jun. seconded
by Major GORDON and Mr. DOUGLAS. After an ex-
change of shots, the affair was settled by the interference
of the seconds, and the surgeon in attendance, Mr.
WILMORR. The dispute originated at cards, when
opprobrious language on one side, caused a blow with
a bottle on the other.

BALLOON Hou.—A gfeat number of persons as-
sembled yesterday to witness the ascent of a balloon from
the Green Man (Kent-road). The balloon was described
as the a largest in England ;'• but at four u'clock, the
time fixed fbr the ascension, it was announced that,
owing to an accident to the apparatus, the aerial journey
was postponed. It was stated that the balloon was the
old Lewis one formerly belonging to Mr. Graham, and
which he found it impossible to set in motion.
In the space of a few months, Mr. HARRIS and Mr-
SADLER hare lost their lives in depending with bal-
loons, which will check, no doubt, the rage which has
been revived of ascending with these machines, parti-
cularly as such experiments are of no practical utility
whatever, and have been attended with fatal effects in
various instances. Mr. SADLER was in his 28th year.
Mrs. SADLER is far advanced in pregnancy.
HORSZ-STEALING.—On the night of the 25th ult. two
valuable horses were stolen from Biddlesden Park, near
Brackley, belonging to G. Mt:gan, Esq. This Gen-
tleman, besides offering a reward of £4O for the appre-
hension of the thieves, dispatched persons in pursuit of
them, who traced them through Stoke Hammond by a
circuitous route to Leighton-Buzzard, and on Monday
were fortunate enough to succeed in apprehending them
at Redbourn, Herts. The men being left in the custody
of a constable, made their escape to a wood of about
50 acres, near Redbourn, but by the exertion of the
persons in the neighbourhood, who, to the number of
nearly SOO, surrounded the wood, they were retaken.
Their names, as given by themselves, are Tilley and
Randall: the former resided at the village where they
were taken into custody. They were on Monday ex-
amined before the Rev. J. C. Gape, Clerk, one of the
Magistrates for the Liberty of St. Alban's.
DREADFUL ACClDSET.—Yesterday afternoon, about
half-past two o'clock, as some workmen were employed
in undermining a high wall, which belonged to a very
extensive building, formerly used as a soap•manufac-
tory, Belvidere•road, the materials of which have lately
been sold in lots, for the purpose of making room for
the intended improvements en, the Surrey side of
Waterloo-bridge, it suddenly fell with a tremendous
crash, burying five of the unfortunate individuals under
the ruins. Every exertion was instantly used to rescue
the sufferers, and in about twenty minutes the whole of
them were extricated. One man (who, we understand,
has left a wife and six children), was killed; a boy
about 17 years of age, was taken out with one of his,
legs dreadfully fractured ; and the other three have
sustained such serious injuries, that little hopes are en-
tertained of their recovery. The whole of them were
conveyed on shutters to St. Thoma,'s Hospital. The
person who had bought the lot where the accident oc-
curred was superintending the operations of the work-
men, and I eceived very considerable injuries, but they
are not supposed to be dangerous.

A fatal accident took place, the week before last, at
Dowlas Iron Works, near Merthyr Tydvil, Glamorgan-
shire, by the bursting of a steam-engine boiler, the top
of which, not less than five tons weight, was blown to
the height of about seventy feet, and fell with tremen-
dous force upon the roof of the building, burying in its
ruins all the workmen who were under, one of whom
was killed upon the spot, seven have since died, and
three or four others are so seriously injured that their
recovery is considered doubtful. _ _
