this would be sinking from the pinnacle of
his dignity; it must be vi et armis, as a
gentleman, and according to the fashionable
rules of honourable disputes. Having once
come to this resolution, he lost no time in sig.
nifying his fell Went to the Plaintiff, to whom
he sent a letter, exhibiting the most convincing
proofs of his martial spirit and manly courage, as
well as evlncittga delicacy in epistolaVy correspon.
Hleuce, a politeness of diction, and a firmness of
style, seldom witnessed in our modern schools of
refinement in literature,. This letter the Learned
Counsel, with the permission of the CHAIRMAN,
then read, for the edification of the Court. It was
as follows :

" 'r. Mr. Barton " Green's-nourt.
" In consequence of? the ill-treatment I hate received from
Non' Wire,' I am determined to fight vim as a gentleman. Y
deformed rascal, are my silk stockings to be &tubed by such
diabolical se retches as you and your blulven of a wife; or is
my precious body to be mauled /about at. the mercy of two

(Signed) • " ROBERT ANDERSON."
Such, observed. Mr. Gurney, was the precious
matirceau wh;scli, the hopeful Defendant thought pre.
per tn wink to ,tfie,Fieintiff,. The Plaintiff, how.
era; being of ?pining a living dog was better
the a Odd lion," eery prudently declined the in.
citation, anti as was Most expedient, chose the safer
coarse of applying to the laws of his country for
mime%
.010 he (Mr. Gurney) had no doubt
the Conrt would grant with great readiness.
...41eforre ,he sat down, he took an opportuni.
of congratulating the Defendant that he was not
indicted -for sending a challenge, the consequences
of which would have been still more severe than any
thing be had to expect front .tbe charge now exhi.
bited against him. . .
The Plaintiff was then called and examined ; by
his testinintiy the statement of Mr. Gurney was fully
supported, as it was by the evidence of other Wit.
nesses.

Mr. ALLEY, Counsel. for the Defendant, then
remaked, that he had looked at the brief of his
Client in every possible way, but really could not
deduce from it my thing in justification of the as-
sault In question. The charge was evidently of
trilling nature,. and he had no doubt Hie Court, in
taking all the facts into consideration, would not
inflict a severe punishment.
The CHAIRMAN having summed pp the evidence,
the Jury' returned a vestliCt of guilts, and the De-
fendant was sentencedto pity.a line of ieii)oonds.

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]
A letter from Douglas,contalat curious-Mtn
of two Merchildren, lately
cdialreged by three re.l
spectable tradesmen of that. toitn, during so a.l
cursion on the Calf of Mini, in -qieit. sea.fowl.
Attracted by a sound •somewhat -resembling is
cries of a young kitten, they found, on scarab:
amongst the rocks, two Small marine animals, is.
actly resembling in their form that specie, of eto.
tore, so often described and known by the nal
of the Merman. One of them was dead and mid
lacerated by the violence with which it had hies
driven on shore, during a violent gale of whit
on the preceding night ; the other was, hot.
ever, conveyed to Douglas, where it still retain,
and seems likely to do well. It is 1 foot llt inch,
in Icagth, from the crown of its head to the carrell
of its tail ; fr inches across the shoulders ; its We
is of a very pale brown colour, and the stales (min
tail arc tinged with violet; the hair (if it may base
called) on its head, is of a light green cast; iga
attached to the crown of the head, only.bitagiN
loose about thti face, about 4 inches in Wei
very gelatinous to the touch, and somewhat re-
sembliug the green sea-weed, commonly griming
on rocks ; its mouth is small, and has no SpiteN•
AIICC of teeth. It delights conch swioupg
about in a large tub of sea-water,- and feeds cliN4l):
on muscles and other shell-fish, .which it doors
with great avidity; it also now and then swedes,
small portions of milk and water, when .given W it
in a quill.

The Hibernia, M`DowELL, arrived at Bsitri
20th Thal. from Jamaica, was boarded 23J Seitta•
.ber, off Cape Nicola Mole, by a frigate and semi
corvettes belonging to GIIRISTOP/iE ; and war m•
formed that Cape Nicola Mole had becn take. tilt
day before, by Cuttssvornes army, after all es.
gagement, in which PaTturt lost 1400 Alen.
