source, that the terms OF payment OF ne icAlear
indemnity have been agreed upon anu nc heso'ia-
ton respecting them settled. Inc payments are 10
be made in ten half yearly instruments, with 3 per
cent interest upon the principal In case any delay
in the meeting the payments, as they iaii cue
an additional ten per cent Is TO be added 10 The
prlucipal Provisions are made tor the consldera
ton OF such claims as have not yet been presented
or adudicated, by appointing commissioners 10 ex-
anime into them. The payments, as they fall due
are guaranteed by mortgage upon the internal re
venues OF the Republic, on which no prior lien eX-
lists. We are right glad that this business is con
cluded-Mexico has set an example IN the way OF
paying her debts, that some OF the States OF this
Union, whose citizens are wont to berate her with
on, stint, would do well TO follow. The schooner
lngham, which arrived here last Saturday from
Tobasco, touched al Tuspan en- route, and brought
from thence private letter 10 gentleman residing

A SERIOUS RENcoNrRE occurred yesterday, on
Chestnut street, near the post Office, between B. S
Ftrr, ESQ. and Mr. Leonidas Walker. late of the
firm of Walker end Kenneth. The difficulty, it APP
pears, originated AT pail given lew evenings ago
at Concert Hall, where Mr.. Walker, acting as man.
ager, refused 10 Mr. Farr ticket of admission
Following thus, Mr.. Farr addressed Mr.. Walker a
note demanding an explanation, which note Mr..
Fairs standing. Yesterday the parties met at the
post ofhce, each accompanied by trlend-Mr.
Walker bX Mr.. Mckinley, and MIR Farr by Mr. Eu-
STAGE. MI. Farr approached and spoke TO Mr. Wal
ker, and upon receiving a reply retreated few
PAGES and drew his pistol, and attempted TO fire, but
his pistol snapped. Mr. Walker, about the same
tlme drew pistol, with revolving barrels, and shot
twice or three times the loads tax ing effect in Mr.
Fairs breast and face One OF the balls in the chest,
1t is feared, may prove fatal One of the balls en-
tered the face above the mouth and below the nose
the other entered the chest little below the nipple
OF the left breast After receiving Mr. Walkers
fire, MIR Farr drew second pistol, which he fired,
but without effect. About the same time that
Mr. Walker fred, Mr. Mckinley, seeing pistol in
The hands OF Mr.. Eustace, and presented, fired at
Eustace, but without effect. 1t is said that Mr. Eu.
STAGE flred also. We have not seen either of the
parues, and cannot vouch for the above being in
every particular correct, but believe it is substan
tally as the affair occurred. Mr.. Walker mmedi
ately surrendered himself to the officers, and was
taken before Justices Wetmore and Labeaume
where the facts being admitted as stated in the writ
ne was admitted to bail In the sum of $50 600, which
having been given he was discharged. The friends
OF the respective parties were also arrested but
there not appearing anything against them they were
discharged They are both young men, Mr.. Fan
