FATAL AFFRAY-DR. GREEN.
7e regret to find the following in New Orleans

paper DR.. Green is doubtless the son of the Right
Reverend Bishop Green, formerly of Chapel Hill,
and is a native of Orange County in this State he
was young gentleman of noble impulses, and dis
tinpuished for his frankness and gallant bearing he
was a regular Physician, and was in good practice
at Shreveport. Dr. Green had been Midshipman
in the NAVY, and had travelled extensively. The
intelligence of his untimely death will cause pain to
many friend and early associate of his in this State:
"FArAL ARRAY AT SHREVEPORT. The Shreve-
port Journal of the 26th instant, gives the following
account of the recent aay in that place, in which
Mr.. Hester and DR.. Green were killed:
Our community has had gloom cast over 1t for
the few last days, by the violent death Of two of its
best and most respectable citizens, David Hester and
DR.. VIM. M. Green. The circumstances, SO far as
we can remember them, are as follows:
MI. Hester, two days previous to the final catas.
trophe, was in town, and while IN the bar-room OF
the Commercial House, was approached by Dr..
Green, in his usual friendly manner, but was met by
slap in the face, which not being understood by
DR.. Green, he asked what he (Hester) meant. Mr..
H. again slapped him, and said, fight me, sir" at
the same time placing his hand in his bosom. DR..
Green still ignorant of the cause of such conduct,
and being unarmed, said that he would see him
again Mr.. H. replied, very WE'LL sir and both left
the house. Nothing was done by Dr.. Green that
dav having been deferred by his friends.
Mr. HI. came in town two days after, very evidently
much excited towards DR.. G. refusing any inerfer-
ence on the part Of his friends, and refusing also to
ASSIGN the reasons for his course. Several notes
were passed during the afternoon between the two,
of hostile character the part of Mr.: H., and re-
piled to, perhaps, in the same style by Dr. 9. The
last one received from DR.. G. was to Mr.. H. while
in the counting room of John Smith, which was In
soht the back room of Dr. Green. Immediately Mr..
Hester rushed out and going to the room of DR.. G.
flung the door open, and fred upon him. Two persons
were present, but both left, and no one knows how
the light progressed. Mr.. H. was instantly killed,
receiving several wounds; with pistol, the re-
mainder with knife. DR.. Green received one wound
in the side from pistol shot, of which he died the
next morning in great agony. The cause of this IA
tai affair, DR.. G. protested in most solemn terms that
he knew nothing Of Two better friends were not in
the PARISH nor two better men; and those who knew
them cannot refer to it for years come, but with
the deepest sorrow and the saddest memory

ENGLAND AGAINST EGYPT.

His Highness the Pasha of Egypt has challenged
the British Jockey Club, for match of fifty thou
sand pounds between the thorough bred Arabians of
his stud and any breed of the English horse that the
Club may choose. He enters two mares and two
horses. The Jockey Club have accepted, and it is
thought they will run the full booded Hunter or the
'Steeple Chaser. The match will take place near
Cairo this winter. The race will be straight
stretch of ordinary Egyptian ground. twelve miles
long, composed of sand fetock deep in some places,
and loose stones of various sizes-undulating, but
not broken by any abrupt hils-the stones large
enough to lame horse and throw him down at full
speed. The Arabian horse is shod differently from
the English horse to protect their feet from these
very stones-the iron shoe extending the whole
bottom of the hoof it is proposed to shoe the Eng
lish horses for this race in the same manner.
The Pasha is said to own the best blooded Arabi-
ans in the world many of them he allows stran-
ger even to look at-guarding them as carefully as
he does the many beautiful Circassians of his Harem.
He will but and says, IS if he wins, that
he shall consider his horses faster than any in
England-they need not tell him they have better
horses at home-they mus: bring their best with
them.'' This will be the first ever run by the
best booded English against the best blooded Arabi-
an horses and should the former prove victorious,
they will cause even the Arabs to think their steeds
after aH+ bseeng to the IS slow-foot family"

ton on the 4;h inst Col. Fremont and
lady, as we learn from Mr.. PAINE, Pur-
ser of the Cherokee, were at Panama
when the Cherokee sailed. Mrs. F. had
recovered from her late indisposition
but Col. F's health was not good. We
understand that it was his intention tr
come TO New York in the steamer Phlla'
delphla, which will probably arrive a.
bout the LIST of March next.
Chagres was very healthy when the
steamer sailed, and quite a number o
Americans were waiting an opportunity
to sail for New Orleans.
The steamer Gen. Herran had been
put ahoat and was running up the Chag
res River. The steamer Orus had gone
up the coast to San Juau de Nicaragua
but it was understood at Chagres that
after making several attempts she failed
in ascending the river as far as had beer
anticipated.
The Cherokee brings home so pas
sengers and $4,000 in gold dust anc
specie, besides large amounts IN the hands
Of the passengers. She also brings yer,
