In THE BRrrIsu HOUSE OF Commons,
April nth, in a discussion on the subject
of the revenue. the Chancellor of the
Exchcquer paid handsome compliment
to the integrity and honor Of American
merchants:
cit was impossible The sadly for a great
commercial crisis like that through which
the country had passed, to occur without
showing itself on the public revenue. Il
the facts which his Hon. friend had stated
were to create any distrust as to the re-
sources Of England, the result would be as
great as mischievous; but any one who
would look to the affairs of the last twelve
months must feel qualification and pride
that the country had passed through these
events without more suffering and loss than
had been endured in the course of The past
year. Our commercial men had to en-
counter circumstances of difficulty which
might almost be said to be without parallel

country had enabled them to 90 through

FATAL DUEL.-An affair of honor took
place yesterday morning near the Pavilion
which we are sorry TO say, terminated ia
tally to one Of the parties, Major Henry
John Wardc, one Of the LIST Royals. His
antagonist is said to have been Robert
Sweeney, Esq. but nothing certain is
known regarding his being the person, or
Of the nature Of the quarrel between the
parties. Report says that Major Warde
was attended on the ground by Captain
Mayne of the Royals, and Mr.. Sweeney by
Mr.. Airey of the Royal Artillery, and that
DR.. Knox of the Royals was the medica
attendant. The meeting took place al five
o'clock in the morning. and a coroner's jury
sat at one o'clock p. M. bringing in the
following verdict: {" We are Of opinion tina
the late Major John Warde came by hi:
death in consequence Of q gun shot wount
inflicted by some person unknown in a due
this morning" This melancholy event ha:
cast gloom on every countenance.

we must beg the serious attention of our

guilty of such an improperly.
That Messrs. Biggs and ITamersly were
publicly insullcd, ace do not believe, and
that any person has been stoned in the
streets of Burlington, will hardly be cred
tied on the authority Of a person whose
perceptions were so ambiguous on one
occasion as to lead him into the ladies'
apartment in his nght.clo,hcs, nnd who
was repeatedly very much "obfiscated"
toward night~fall.
AS to any i'll will to the gentlemen "ln-
spectors," we are sure none existed and
had it been otherwise, it must have given
place 10 a very different sentiment, when it
was observed that they were rejecting our
best horses, and accepting many that had
been on the pension list for years. For
ourselves, we were highly amused.
Were any vindication needed against
the gralituous imputatons Of the Herald,
we might with confidence appeal to the
very many respectable citizens Of Montreal
who haye visited this place since the dis,
turbug events of last winter. But we will
not so far dignity the infamous libel. On
the last point, we will endeavor to Salty
the Editor about the time he brings along
his "halter;" and, in the mean time, he
may very profitably consult that portion OF
