TRAcIcAL AFFAIR IN ARKANsAs.-The Little
Rock "Whig'' mentions a most melancholy and
tragical afray which occurred at Clarksvle, John
son county, Ark. on Thursday the Oath ult. Mr..
VIM. Reubotton, who was on the eve of departure
for California, it appears, sued by gentleman
named Murphy. Reubcttom and Murphy (the lat
Ter accompanied by his son-in law, Mr.. Sadler,)
met; words ensued, when Reubottom and Sadler
drew their pistols almost simultaneously. The
pistol of the former missed fre-Sadler's took
effect in the breast of his opponent, who mmedi-
ately drew bowie knife, and made an attempt to
stab Saddler-perhaps he succeeded. Friends in
terfered, and hostilites ceased for few seconds,
when Reubottom again drew revolver, and shot
Murphy. He then turned upon Sadler, and dis
charged tire. shots at him, without effect, how
ever. Murphy died immediately; Sadler was Sc
riously wounded, but will perhaps recover. Reu-
bottom, though badly wounded, made his escape.
The parties, so far as the Wing could ascertain,
were considered estmable and peaceful citizens.
This would have been called most bl.ody ARRAY,
in the earlier days of Arkansas. All the par
ties seemed to be "hghting for funera,'' or rat-
er for several funerals.

signed to Davis, Brooks & Co., the o'her 10 John

IVA cashier of one of the State street banks
Boston, says the Courier of that city, was asked b,
member of the Legislature, short time since,
what was the proportion of bank losses in com.
parison with loans? "For what length of time?''
asked the cashier. The time was placed at five
years. and the cashier, referring to the books found
that the bank had loaned from fifteen to eighteen
millions of dollars during that time, and had lost
but s191 %. This (says the N. o. Commercial
Bulletin) is not only evidence of the strctness
with which mercantile paper is borrowed, but it is
strong testimony to the value of the old system
of banking.

CELEBRATIoN OF THE BIRTHDAY OF HENRY CLAY.
-ihe hrst celebration i'll our city of the day
which gave birth to Henry Clay-a day deserving
perpetual commemolation by the citizens Of this
great Republic to Whose service Lis long and use
full life was devoted-took place on yesterday (the
12th.) This the first anniversary of his birth
day since he was taken from us, and it was very
appropriately determined by the corporate author
tiles of our city to mark its advent by public Gel
citation. The Gay was accordingly ushered in by
tie firing oil cannon and The ringing of bells, and
at III O'Clock a procession was formed under the
direction of Gen. Leslie Combs as Chief Marshal,
according 10 the order which had been previously
published. The procession (Which was ve,ySre-
spectacle in humble and appearance, the Fire
Companies, Masonic Fraternity, Medical Glass,
Mayor and Council, uniting in i,) having been
formed, marched TO the University, in the spacious
Chapel of which The exercises were conducted,
The address on the occasion was delivered by the
Rev. Il. E. Berkeley of the Episcopal church in this
City, Tin which Mr.. Clay worShippedO can intimate
personal friend of the lamented Statesman, and
was all that his friends could have desired. Brief,
yet sufficiently comprehensive 10 present the prom
inent events of the orators illuStrious themes it
was conceived most happily and delivered with
line effect. II was indeed most chaSte and elo-
quent effort.
We are exceedingly gratifed that the commem-
grafton of this anniversary has beencommencedi in
city-by the friends and neghbors of the illus.
trious man who had his home for fifty years among
US, and whose remains repose with those whom he
Lowell, and with whom he had been Sc long con-
nected by the most friendly and intimate relations.
If ever the natal day of any man deserved perpetu
alton il isthat which we have just been called 10
celebrate; at all events long this is Repub-
lie OF reemen and its citizens cherish regard for
free institutions. The life OF Henry Clay was
spent in illustrating and defending our institutions
and principles by which, in his judgment, they
were best to be administered and preserved, and II
is the duty Of every man WHO values those insiitn
tons TO that his lame andhis example are held
up as beaconlghts TO direct the steps Of those who
are to come hereafter. We trust that as one
means 10 this end, the Committee of Arrangements
will secure for publication the admirable address
of Mr.. Berkley.-Lez. Observer and Reporter.
