REMARKs.-Wo ask, in respectful terms,
Mr.. Lang. the editor of the Gazette to assign
some reason why, he supposcs the Rhode ISL
and Banks to be ''good for NoTHINC." This
unhandso inc sneer at our Banking Institutions,
is not relisked by his subscribers in- Rhode-Isl-
and; and we take pride in saying, that our
Banking Institutions ARE all sound, and respect
able. We have not had any failures among
them, and consider them quito as solvent as

stand, is to be CHARLES L. HAMMOND, Esq.
a distinguished political writer; a man Of fine

FOREIG INTELLIGENCE.

BY the arrival Of the james Chopper at New
York, London papers to the 18th of October,
have been received.
The packet ship SYLvANUs JENKINS, Capt.
Macy, sailed from Liverpool on the Sih uIt.
Among the passengers is ALDER GALLATIN,
the American Minister at the Court of St.
James.
Billings Liverpool Advertiser Of the 18th
ult. says "The Mexican Government, whose
credit in this country had been SC! iously shak-
EN- by the non-payment of the dividends on the
loan due the LIST of October, has, in a great
mea sure, recovered It's good name, in conse-
quenee of intelligence received by the Mexican
Minister in London, that specie is on It's way
TO England for that purpose. On Thursday
last, Messrs. Barring & Co. the Contractors, CT
fectod assurances at Lloyd's and other Offices
for specie to the amount Of l,IO6, $50, which,
acr ording to the adyiccs, was only waiting the
arrival Of a British ship Of war at Vera Cruz,
to be sent to this country. II is TO be hoped
that the Mexican Government will, in future
be more p%unctual IN the dicharge OF its obliga-
tons"
The last Quarter Of the British Revenue ex-
ceeded that Of the corresponding Quarter OF
1926, by COS, 1871. OF this excess about 40
U OF, was produced by the duty on foreign corn.
The King Of Spain had arrived atTarragonn,
in the province Of Catalonia, and considerable
efforts were made by the authorities of BARGE
Iona and the other neigbouring towns, to give
leclat to his arrival. Not the least check, how
ever, had yet been given 10 the ultra rebellion
which ragged in that province.
Large quantities Of Foreign Corn were ship
ping from the Bonded Warehouses in London,
10 the adjacent ports Of the Continent, for the
purpose Of being warehoused; the expenses OF
rent &c. being so much higher in England
and there being no prospect Of market for for
eign grain in the United Kingdom, within any
reasonable time.
The Empress Of Russia has given birth to a
Prince, who has received the name Of Constan-

A fine ship Of 400 tons. called the Lady

the 22d Of October. She is intended for the
Charleston trade, and is ito be fttod up in a very
superior style for tho accommodation of pas

GREECE.
The intelligence from the theatre Of war, in
the Archipelago, is Of n cheering character.
The accounts Of the decided and active inter-
position Of the Allied fleets, in behalf of the
Greeks, are confirmed from so many different
sources, that there is no room TO question their
substantial accuracy Mr.. Eynard, the active
head Of the Greek committees in Europe, and
in whose letters experience has proved tho
most implicit reliance may be placed, in a let

which I have received from Greece continues

NJ TRAGIcAL.-Thc New-York CONNER.
cial Advertiser Of Thursday brought US an ac-
count Of a duel, which took place at lIoboken,
on Wednesday morning. the following are tho
particulars:
Fatal Duel -Wo understand that Mr. w.
Graham, the associate editor Of the Enquirer,
was killed this morning IN a duel, at the bat
tic ground IN Hob0ken. Ills antagonist was a
gentleman from Philadelphia, by the name of
Barton. We have heard the names of the Sec
onds, but omit them for the present. The DIFF
iculty. we understand, originated at the card
table. MIR. Graham was ut the Bowery Thea
ire last night, and slept at the hotel formerly
kept by Sykes. He arose at 4 o'clock this
morning, and both parties were OF the ground
at twenty minutes past g O'Clock. Two shots
were exchanged. The first having proved in
eaectuai, the second Of Mr.. Graham proposed
that the parties each advance one step, which
was acoedcd 10. At the second fire, Graham
obscryed-"I am shot-I am a dead man
Barton, 7 forgive you," and fell! He was
immediately conveyed to tho boat in waiting,
and when lain down, the only words he utter
cd were-"l am in great pain,' and died in
a few minutes Afterwards. Mr.. G. was a ma
tive Of Cattskill. lie commenced the study of
the law in this city with the late Barnet Gar
diner. but went TO England in lSll-I2. He
there completed his education ut Cambridge,
and subsequently kept his terms as a student
! at.law, at one Of the Inns Of Court lie had
travelled extensively upon the continent, aDd
returned to this country early in the spring of
1926, since which time he has been the princi-
pal writer for the Enquirer. lie was unqucs-
tionably q man Of good natural genius, and
extensive general requirements"
Whilst the stole and philosopher, and the
Steiner christian, may with justice denounce
the practice Of ducling, and contemn all who
follow its dictates, the feeling heart too often
is pierced to the centre, by the untimely fall
Of the misguided and mistaken combatant, who
is unfortunately laid low, at tho feet of his OPP.
ponont. The fall OF a young man, like Ora
ham, Is deeply to be deplored, he possessed
talents Of no ordinary cast, was aspiring, gen.
erons and undetermined, and promised to be
an honor to his family and his country. But
led astray by unrestrained passions, he heed
lessly rushed on TO the grave and has stained
his memory, by recording it with tho fame of
the dueliist.

New PUBLIcATIoN.-A new theological
publication. entitled the Gospel Preacher, and
edited, by the Reverend David Pickering, was
issued from the press Of the Christian TeIcs-
cope, yesterday.
The Gospel Preacher, will beyond a doubt,
under the supcrntcndcnce Of its able editor, as
sumo a respectable rank, among contemporary
publications ; and is certainly richly deserving
Of the patronage Of the public. particularly Of
that class Of chrisiians,,o whose cause il is de-
voted. The first number contains wo sermons
by tho Reverend Editor, which are highly
creditablc TO his well known, and admitted
talents.

INTEnEsTING SPEcTAcLE.-As we were
passing through, south Market-street, Thanks
giving morning, we witnessed a spectacle OF
intense interest, and well calculated to awaken
the tenderost sympathies Of our hearts. A
group of children, about forty in number, we're
assembled in front ofthe store Of Walter Paine,
Esq. anxiously waiting the arrival of the occu-
pant. Presently Mr. Paine arrived, and open
ing his store, invited the urchins in, and to
each presented a fowl to make them a Thanks
giving dinner. As the little rogues received
the benevolent bequosts, their young eyes
sparkled with JOY, and with light hearts, they
FASTENED to give their presents to their INDECENT
parents. A beam Of pleasure seemed to per-
wade the whole group, and their little hearts.

every good and perfect gift, for the boantics

The benefi ctions were made FROM the funds
of a benevolent Society, consisting fthe mem
bcrs Of the Reverend Mr.. Wilson's Church, for
whom Mr.. Paine acted as agent; and for their
kiEdncsses, We pray God to speed them well.

its effects were far more beneficial in their opcr-
atoms, than all the sums that are daily, month

of ridiculous r~eligious crusades 10 the regions
Of Hindostan, and the Islands Of Australasia.
The example is worthy Of all imitation, and

BECCING ON A New SYSTEM. "A stout

yond that which might be assumed by every

The public under contribution! Like most OF
the tribe of clerical mendicants, his character
is;ics are impudence and insolencc, and after
asking aims, it is his practice to open a theo-
logical discussion, and If you differ with him he
politely tells you, that If you do not repent,
hell is your portion, and that if you die in your
present belief, you will have to dwell in other
worlds, with devils and spirits damned; and
emits a torrent Of abuse and blasphemy which
is only tolerated out Of pity for his want ofed-
u%cation, and contempt for his ignorance Of the
docencies sflIfe. The pilgrimages Of such be-
ings should be arrested, and, they should bo
taught, that the mere prctoncc to piety, and
morality, is not a passport TO our pulses, and
that a clergyman, has no greater clam to our
generosity and indulgence, than any other
member Of society.

The remarks which will be
found below, are copied from the >ew-York
Enquirer. of last Monday, and were written by
Graham, the misguided young man. who .ell in
a duel on Wednesday, tlhe particulars Of which
affair, are gwen in another paragraph.
Dueliag.--The death of Doctor Vance, in
a duel with Mr.. Carson, wo Id furnish a fair
theme for some remarks on this most disastrous
cus,om-a custom which prevails in the United
Safes to an extent, wholly unknown in other
countries. For many years,it has been the du
ty of tho public journalists TO record numerous
instances of duels. attended with melancholy
results. 1t would seem that no class in socie-
ty is uninfected by the frightful contagion.
I Members of Legislature, high functionaries Of
the Government, civil as well as military Off
GERS, persons known only in private life, all
seem anxious to distinguish themselves by act
ing one of the parts in a duel. 1t is not onlv
a paltry, but it is an unholy and an inhuman
ambition. We doubt very much whether u
more memorable courtesy is kept up in society,
by the certainty that a transsression of its
laws, subjects the offender to such a satisfact-
ion includes the hazard of his life. The trans
gressor is usually an expert shot, and he trusts
partly to this science, and partly to his nofo-
riety, rs a protection. The professcd duellist
is generally a bully, and then the absurdity of
supposing that a harmless exchange Of shots
can settle a point of honour, is beyond all par
allel. On he other hand, If the exchange be
fatal. the folly is transmitted into crime.
In spite Of all that has been said in behalf OF
the system to show its necessity and Ia use
we cannot imagine a single substantial argu-
ment in its favour. Some sensible people have,
at various times, yielded to it, because the gen.
cral usage had stamped q refusal to fight with
the brand of cowardice. We have a striking
case of this kind in our city, where a man Of
the loficst abilities, the most unquestioned
coui and the most amiable character, fell
a sacrifice 10 the abominable practice, in the
face Of his deliberate, and his recorded abhor-
renee. Those Legislatures which have affixed
penalties to duelling deserve the respect Of all
phiIanthropists. But the administrator Of the
law are culpably lax in putting its provisions in
10 execution.
REMARKS. II is TO BIO lamented, that no
who entertained sentiments SO just, in relation
to the practice Of duelling, had moi practiced
as he wrote, for had he, he would not have
fallen an untimely victim to misguided opin-
ions, and at the hands Of an antagonist, who
must live, if he possess the refined feelings Of
our species, to labour under the pangs, and
the feelings Of an upbraiding conscience.
The fall of the unfortunate Graham, will, as
we hope, teach others TO subdue the rankings
Of angry passions, and the impulses Of those
false notions Of honor, which have hurried hun
dreds TO az early tomb.

amounting to s4o1o. This is Independent OF
