DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.

DlS hEoSlNN OSSORhENSC.
Lexington, Apra 2l.-On Saturday
last, an affray took place in the street
Of this place, between Mr.. Bayley, the
Editor of the Western Monitor, and
Mr.. Thomas ]. Stevenson, who had
been in his employment as a printer
until that morning. The result was,
that Mr.. Stevenson received mortal
wound in the breast with sword cane,
which terminated his existence at 2 O.
clock next morning Mr.. Bayley was
arraigned before Messrs. Keene and
Todd, justices Of our county court, that
evening, and after long examination
of evidence, the prisoner was dischar-
ged, on the ground that the act was
done in self-defence. After the death
of Mr.. Stevenson, he was again arraign-
ed before John Bradford and William
West, Esqrs. who after another long
examination, disagreed in their opin-
ions, and Mr.. Bayley was again dis
charged.
Lest our friends abroad might sup
pose that there was any thing Of a po-
litical nature involved in this affair, we
will state that it arose from circum-
stances which occurred in their rela-
ton of employer and employed; that
they were of the same party in the pres
idential contest, and that these ques-
tons had nothing to do with the dis
pute which terminated so calamitous-
ly.

CLEARING OUT.

Boston, .Apra 29.-Some little excite
ment was produced in our city a few
days since by the failure of an English.
Goods Dealer in Washington-street, by
the name of Vincett. He had been do
ing business extensively in the retail
line, and made dash among the respec-
tables. When it was ascertained that
he had stopped payment, his store was
opened by one of his creditors. The
shelves appeared to be we'll stored with
drapery, and mercery and hosiery, and
the Responding creditor began to feel
quite elated with the prospect before
him. On examination, it appeared
that every supposed package of dry
goods was but package of some worth
less trumpery, nicely arranged on the
shelves to make up a show. One of
the disconsolated, shared by this shauer,
brought us down one Of these sham
packages as specimen 1t represents a
bundle of stockings; and contains only
sa,c-dust. MIR. Vincett is an emigrant
from the fast-anchored isle, and has
probably returned to one of the "three
glorious kingdoms, to publish his trav-
els in the United States. We look
with some anxiety for the review of
his book in the Quarterly of Mr.. Gift

cited considerable interest in that part
Of the country, and distinguished coun-
sci were employed-Messrs. Salton-
stall, Mosely, Shillaber and Cross, for
plaintiff, and Messrs. Webster, Cum
mings and .MaIston, for defendant
This action has terminated as it should
have done not that we wish to enter
into the feelings of either party in the
case, but when a little newspaper in
quiry, Of no importance, or which is
only piece of pleasantly or difference
OF opinion on some local affairs is
tortured into suit and the conductor
OF public print harrassed for it, we
are happy to see such conclusions of
such matters. These actions, like
those for breach of promise of mar
riage, are getting too common in our
country. A few days since, man of
respectable standing in life, called at
the Office of the counsellor who had
been frequently engaged in causes of
libel, and insisted that he should bring
an action of SANDER against one of his
neighbors for the following words spo-
ken by him-"Neigh6or a. is a clerer
fslIow, out his upper story ,cants little
.fring up" and for saying at another
time, she 'oas better fsdthan taught"
The counsellor of course declined
bringing an action on these words
The client was astonished-he expect
ed to get thousand or two Of dollars

could not be giUen in evidence.

Extract of a letter dated Cadiz, March II.
sT beg leave to inform you that it is the in
tention of our government to open our ports
for the introduction of foreign wheat and -four,
in the southern provinces and of the total des-
truction of our crops by drought. The pro-
hibition is not actually removed, but it will be
as soon as our authorities can agree among
themselves about the duty to be imposed on
the said articles; it is, however, supposed
that -four will pay duty of 81 SO to IS per
bbl and wheat from so to IS cents fanega.
As to prices, can only say that Spanish -four
being worth 10 dollars barrel, the superfne
American would not at this moment fetch
less, solely with the difference that the former
pays no duty assd the latter will have to pay
one.
"The above concession will be but tenn
porary thing; but it cannot be for less than =
twelve month, during which period our mar.
ket will no doubt hold out very good pros
poets for the sales ofyour flour.

been imported here since the taking off of the

culated on if supplies are not too numerous.
''Staves of good quality may be quoted at

Boston, May 2.-The action brought
BY James Prince, esq. Of Newburyport,
against E. w. Allen, editor OF the
Newburyport Herald, for an alledged
libel, came on before Judge Lincoln on
Friday last, at Ipswich. The cause
had been tried in the Common Pleas
and damages recovered, but on opening
the cause by plaintiffs counsel, the
Judge unhesitatingly decided that the
publication ,cas no libel, and ordered a
