DUEL
all WEEN LORD PAGET AND CAPT. CADOOA.N.

fn consequence of a challenge having heed te-
ceited by Lord PAGET from Captain CAGOGAN, and
every attempt to prevent a meeting having failed,
the parties, attended by their respective friends Capt.
CADOOAN by Capt. MIEN= of the navy, Lord
PAGET by tient-Colonel VIVIAN of the 7th light dra-
gedons, met as agreed, at seven o'clock, this morning,
on Wimbledon Common. The ground having been
taken at twelve paces distance, they were ditected
to fire together—Captain Cariocari fired, Lord Pa-
cer's pistol flashed—this having been decided to
for a fires a question arose, whether Lord PAGET
had taken aim as if intending to hit his antagonist.
Both the seconds being clearly of opinion that such
was not his intentions Captain M'KENZIE stated to
Captain Canooat4, that as it appeared to be Lord
PAGET's intention not to fire at him, he could not ad-
mit of the affair proceeding any further. Lieutenant-
Colonel Vivian then asked Capt. CADoGAN whether
he had not himself observed thatt Lord PAGET
hid not aimed at him—to which he replied in the
affirmative. Captain M'KENZIE then declared his
determination not to remain any longer in the
field, to witness any further act of hrslility on the
part of Captain CADoGAN. Captain C. replied, of
course his conduct must be decided by his second ;
declaring, at the same time, that he had come pre.
pared for the fall of one of the parties. On Captain
M'KENZIE and Lieutenant-Colonel VIVIAN making
it known to Lord PAGET, that as he evidently did not
intend to fire at Captain CADOGAN, the affair could
go no further, Lord P. replied, as such is your
determination, I have no hesitation in saying, that
n thing could ever have induced me to add to
the injuries I have already done the family, by firing
at the brother of Lady CHARLOTTE WELLEsLEY."

An invest was held, yesterday afterno'on, at the
Crown public house, in Duke's-court, St. Martin's-
lane, by ANTONY Gut., Esq. on the bodies of Mr.
Joseph Smeeton, printer, .and Mrs. Eliza Smeeton,
his wife, who were burned at the fire which broke
out on Saturday morning, at their house in St. Mar-
tin's-lane.

Joseph Thornton, a watchman, stated, that on Sa-
turday morning, about half past one o'clock, he was
standing at the corner of Chequer-court, opposite
Noithumberland House ; he perceived a great smoke
in the court ; he went and found the lower part of
the back of Mr. Smeeton's house on fire ; he gave
the alarm, but received no answer ; he then went to
the front of the house, knocked at the door, but re-
ceived no answer ; he alarmed the neighbours. Some
firemen, by that time, had arrived, and broke the
street door open ; the flames rushed on them, and the
molten lead came down in such torrents, it was im-
possible for them to enter the hone, which by that
ume was burning in the second floor. Witness could
not say how long it was before water was procured ;
but some of the gentlemen present said it was at least
32 minutes, as the plug could not be found, on ac-
count of its having been removed farther off, and the
turncocl: had not been immediately called.

Mr. Burrard, a very genteel young man,
one of Mr. Smeeton's apprentices, stated, that on Sa-
turday morning last, as he slept in the two pair front
room, he was awakened by the rattling. of a tire en-
gine, which he believes was going to the fire at Shad-
well Dock ; be g.,t up and put on his clothes, and
was going to inquire where the fire was. On opening
his room door, a body of thick smoke instantly filled ,
his room ; he rushed on the landing-place, and
forced the.door of the two pair back room open, where
his two fellow apprentices slept, and told them to
run up stairs, which they did, taking with them part
of their clothes ; witness next went to call the maid-
servant, and broke down a door which led to her
bed room ; found her awake and out of bed, but not
dressed ; she was so alarmed that she had not power
to rind her way out of the room ; he led her out, and
told her to go up stairs. Witness then leaned over
the bannister of the back stair case, and could dis-
tinctly see his master's bed room door ; but the
dames kid not touched it, but were coming up very
fa,t ; he cried out, " Master ! master ! master !"
but did not receive any answer : he attempted to go
down two stairs, but fancied they were giving way ;
he retreated and went up stairs, the flames following
him ; he tkere found Ann Farling, the servant. scan.
ding against the printing-room door ; she was in
a state or suffocation—he dragged her up towards the
leads, and found his two fellow-'prentices in the
privy, whi.:ll was at the top of the house. Witness
then broke a door that led to the leads ; it was a very
strong door, fastened with two large iron bolts; and
he forced it from the hinges ; got on the leads, with
the maid servant and the two apprentices, and they
all jumped on the roof of Mr. Macmillan's house,
and trom thence to Mr. Harvey's, which was six
houses off, and unroofed several tiles, and got in.—
Witness thinks it might be one o'clock when he was
first awaked, and halt past one when he and his com-
panions got safe into Mr. Harvey's house Witness
was asked if he could give any account how the tire
broke out ? He said, that Ann Farling, who was
prevented from attending, on account of illness Occa-
sioned by the fright, had told him, that, on Friday
night, she went to bed about eleven o'clock ; she saw
her master go into the warehouse with a pocket book
in his hand ; she went up to bed, and left her mistress
in the front drawing room. Witness said that the
pocket book was found in the iron chest, with some
bank notes in it, very much scorched. Witness gave
his evidence with much feeling, and received the
praise of the Jury for his great exertions. They re-
turned a verdict of Accidental Death.

Mr. Smeeton was fifty years of age, and his wife
twenty-live.

A DUTIFUL AND BELOVED HUSBAND".

The prop which held me up is gone, •
With itlitt my earthly joys are flown,
And all my pleasure's rest;
Yet hear me, dear departed shade,
I invoke thy friendly aid,
Thal mould'ring Into dust!
`Pis natores voice, divinely wise,
Heaven-horn directs my griefs, niy sighs,
And calls tnee from the tomb;
A Wife exclaims, niy Husband lyes,
Unconscious of my tears, my cries,
Pining In youthful bloom.
Who'll now direct my wilder'd course,
Support my arm and check the force,
Of Boreas driving snows,
Against each rude assault disarm
the angry foe, or brave the storm,
To shield me in repose!
*The person here alluded to Is only 23 years of lige, and has
been a Widow 18 months.
