The public are aware, that correspon-

Trotter editor of the Kentucky Gazette, and
Geo. D. Prentice, editor of the Journal and

the course the controversy hadtaken, per-

near the Post Office, in which MIR. Prentice
was slightly wounded by pistol ball fired by
Mr.. Trotter--in attempting to return the hre,
Mr., Prentice's pistol snapped, upon which
the parties closed, and were engaged for
short time without much injury to each other
We were not present. and the accounts OF the
mode Of attack (Which was made BY MIR.
Trotter) and the position of Mr.. Prentice
when Mr.. Trotter's pistol was fired, are Sc
contradictory, that it is impossible to give a
correct version of the affair. Mr.: Trotter
was taken in custot y by the city Marshal, and
was this morning taken before the Mayor

AN ADVENTURE.

The Philadelphia Gazette relates the
following recent adventure, on the part
of Major Hurlock the noted Militia Fine
Collector.
On Wednesday afternoon. he was OBJ
served in the vicinity of Noble and Front
street, with roll Of militia bills, and his
eternal green bag, and no sooner observ.
ed than the whole neighborhood was in
commotion. The streets were filled
with men and women, cats and dogs; the
windows were blocked up with human
heads-men left their business to note
the wonderful scene. For time, silence
prevailed, and the multitude awaited the
shifting of the scene in breathless at
tention. "There goes Hurlick," at length
shouted yellow headed urchin, which
was the signal for the commencement Of
grand attack. s'Hurrah for the mad
dog said another, and "mad dog, mad
dog" was heard in all directions. "Deal
with him gently" shouted third, follow
ing the cry with shower OF stale eggs,
from barrel full which had been placed
in convenient spot for the use of the
mob. Then ensued such an uproar, as
the people of the Northern Liberties nev-
err before witnessed. Hurlick ran-the
mob pursued, shouting and pelting.-he
entered private house, went through
and made his escape by back door, but
was seen and followed. dumped into
pig-pen, but was glad to escape with
the loss ofhis coat tail. Again he ran,
and again was pursued, the cry Of "mad
dog!" still reso undlng in his ears. As a
last resort, when nearly exhausted, he o.
pened cellar door, and jumped down.
The cellar was half full Of water, and
souse went the unhappy collector, up to
the middle. Here he remained for some
time-the mob seeing the predicament
in which he was placed, moiested him no
farther, and after a time he was taken
out, and sent home.

LOVE & MURDER.-.dnoth Ciough
affair."!
A most attrocious' attempt at assassination
was made in this city last evening. young
German lady about weeks in this country,
and residing with her friends in Howard
street, was walking in company with several
persons in Fleet street, near the intersection
Of Happy Alley, last evening between hive
and six o'clock, whens.she was accosted by a
young man, Zone of her countrymen,) who,
after walking few steps by her side, de-
manded of her whether she would marry him.
She answered No! The young man retreat
ed step or two, pulled a pistol from his
pocket, and shot the unfortunate object OF his
affection III the back. He was promptly
seized and committed to prison, and the
wounded body taken to the house of Dr. Al
len, in Ann street. The wound appears to
have been made with duck shot the whole
charge entered the left shoulder, about equi-
distant from the vertere and the arm, to
which direction may be imputed the escape
of the victim from immediate death, as the
muzzle of the pistol was not probably more
than two inches from her body. The report
of the pistol indicated that it had been heav-
lily charged, as the assassin unquestionably
intended to do his business effectually. The
writer of this, saw the wounded lady last
evening, and again this morning, and with
much pleasure expresses belief that the
wound is not dangerous, and that the unfortu-
nate young lady will this time escape the fate
which the malgnity of her pretended lover
had premeditated.
Stabbing. On Friday evening, two blacks
named Prince and Johnson, were brought be-
fore the Alderman Badger, charged with hav-
| ing desperately wounded white lad named
John Ellet, by stabbing him several times in
the left breast, with a sword one of them drew
from his cane for the purpose. Several citi-
zens who came up to testify the fact, stated
that theaffary took place in the neighoourhoot
of South street; that several lads were stand
ing on the pavement, conversing quietly witt
each other, when stone was thrown at thu
blacks, who were then passing where the boy
stood; that one of the boys Elicit, was imme
diately attacked and stabbed in several pa
ices, by one of the prisoners. They were o
course committed to prison.
i Elicit was Immediately conveyed to the Hos
/ pital on settee, and an examination OF hi
condition resulted in a belief that his life i
not in danger at present, but that as most o
the stabbs were given in the immediate re

THE DEPOSITES.

We learn that of the nine banks in the city
of New York, to which circulars were al
dressed in relation to the government depos'tes
eight have promptly signihed their Wiling
ness to perform the. duties and and assume the
requisite obligations Definite propostlons,it
lis understood, have not yet been made on
the part of the banks; but it is not doubted
that very satisfactory, and so far as the govern
ment and the public are concerned, adva'ta-
Igeous arrangements may be perfected at the
pleasure of the ,vernment.
The above is from the Albany Argus The
story it contains about eight out OF nine banks
lsignifying their Willingness &c. to accept the
ldeposites, is all humbug. We have reason to
believe that no state hank has yet made an nn-
conditional offer to accept of the terms of
Mr.. Kendall. Many Of them have politely
answered his foolish circular, and said that
if proper and satisfactory arrangement
could be made, they would take pleasure in
transacting the business of the Government ;
and this gentlemanly negative has been con-
Istrued into an unconditional acceptance OF the
terms. Nothing could be more absurd than
such construction of the replies. If per-
Itectly satisfactory to Mr.. Kendall, why are
lthey not published in detail. For the bes
, reason in the world. They will contradict
