mail boat yesletday, that an affray took
place Saturday morning, in the street near
theManson House, at Mobile, which has
probably resulted in the dea,h of one Of

Mr.. Lumsden, formerly of this city, and
Mr.. Senac, Clerk in the Post Office, be.
came involved in controversy which canl

and during the recontre, the pistol was
discharged four times; two Of the shots
taking ffact upon Lumsden,s person.
