THE EXTRAORDINARY DUEL MEETING.

The misunderstanding between Lord KWWORTH
and Mr. Witu.ssLer Pons, like that of rival knights
of yore, grew out of their chivalric pretensions to the
rich and amiable Miss T. L. The subject matter of
it was the following Jeti d'Esitrit:

AN IMPILOMP
ON LIMITING WANSTEAD HOOSI PITL
By Mr. P—, Jun.
Though my feet caper'd first with th• smart Emma L—s,
My eyes danc'd in chace of her sister,
And salt tears never fail'd in their sockets to throng,
Wheneer for a moment they mised her!
So bewitching her jewels—attractive her pelf,
Titled lads throng in troops to ensnare her;
But by I—s! I vow, by my own precious self,
'chaos W-.& -T shall win her, and wear her!
'Mid the tumult of Waltzing and wild Irish reels,
As prim. dancer, I'm sure to get at her;
And by Love's graceful movements to trip up her heels,
As the MT and the short of the matter!

Lord K. being known to be in the train of the
Muses, and having spoken jocosely of these verses,
was unfortunately imagined to have been the writer
of them. Some sarcastic remarks were grounded
upon this supposition by the other party, and not very
guardedly delivered at a Public Assembly, which
induced Lord K. to require an explanation thereof,
that led to the messuages and meetings detailed in
the following statement :

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Sig—... Various misrepresentations having gene
abroad respecting the meeting between Mr. WELLES*
LZY PoLE and myself, I feel it incumbent upon me,
though with the greatest reluctance, to request you
will insert the following correspondence :
[The misunderstanding which occasioned the meeting occurred
at an assembly. Sir WILLA/ix HORT, Bart, was sent to Mr. W.
Pox& on the part of Lord Kt LWORTII to require an explanation,
which not being deemed sufficient, the following letters, ice. pas-
sed between the parties ;)

peat how reluctantly I shall accept of it. I shall do myself the
honour of accepting of your Lordship's Invitation to Wimbledon
Common, st half-past six to-morrow morning.
