We have something additional in the for
eign gossip concerning the Soule duels. Both
have addressed letters to French papers, to
correct the Representations which seem
to have been made Systematically, with re-
gard to that affair. Mr.. Neville Soule is
much the younger Of the two, being only %,
while the Duke de Alba is 35. Their . en-
gagement' lasted exactly ten minutes, accor-
ding to the published reports of the seconds
of both parties, when they shook hands, ex-
pressed themselves satisfied and agreed 70
burn the correspondence that had passed be-
tween t1em. This duel resulted from the
challenge Of the Duke, he having first given
a satisfactory explanation to young Scule's
demand for the insult at the ball; but after
wards, on reading Soule' S letter. which he had
not before done, h. found it couched in such
insulting terms that he felt called upon in
turn to demand satisfaction.
The elder Soule makes a serious change
against the French ambassador, with whom
he fought. Ii is that he, after receiving the
challenge, practiced for some ten days, until
he could knock the dolls head' nine times
out Of ten at forty PAGES. Our readers will
recollect that the Marquis insisted on fight
ing at that distance, but Mr. S. not consid-
ing it " atistaction at the pistols mouth,
objected
Reports ffom Madrid via Paris are, that
the Marquis de Turgot has had his leg ampu-
tated, and is in dangerous condition. II

Souie will have to be recalled.-LSan. Reg.

be better "all round" than if the drawing

examination, it is found that the tired razor,

PARTICLES or fibres of its surface or edge all
arranged in one direction like the edge of a

its fellow, and hence cutting the beard, in
stead of being forced down fiat without cut

welding, the absolute momentum Of the
hammer causes an ENHANCEMENT of motion,
