WINCHILSEA.

The Duke of Wellington and the Earl Of
Winchilsea met at the place appointed Bat
tersea fields on the following morning. The
parties having taken their ground, Lord Win
ehilsea received the Duke OF Wellington's fire,
and fred in the air. After some discussion,
the accompanying memorandum was delivered
by Lord Falmouth to Sir. Henry Hardinge, and
accepted by Sir, Henry as satisfactory repa-
ration to the Duke of Wellington:
Memorandum.
Having giventhe Duke ofWellington the usual
satisfaction for the eHront, he conceived himself
to have received from me, through my public
letter of Monday last, and having thus placed
myself in a different situation from that in
which ! stood, when his grace communicated
with me through Sir Henry Hardinge and
Lord Falmouth, on the subject of that letter,
before the meeting took place., i do not now
hesitate to declare, of my own accord, that in
apology, regret having Individually published
an opinion which the noble duke states, in his
memorandum of yesterday, to have charged
him with disgraceful and criminal motives in a
certain transaction which took place nearly a
year ago. / also declare that shall cause
this expression of regret to be inserted in the
Standard newspaper, as the same channel
through which the letter. in question was given
to the public.
A copy of the preceding correspondence
having been sent BY Sir Henry Hardinge to
the evening papers Of the same day, 1.-THE fol-
lowing memorandum was published by Lord
Falmouth, on Monday, the ed: a,aa
Lord Falmouth first became concerned in
the affair between the Duke of Wellington and
Lord Winchilsea shortly before he met Sir
Henry Hardinge on the subject, on the evening
of Thursday, the 18th. Until that time, Lord
Falmouth knew nothing whatever either Of the
previous correspondence, or of the publication
which had led to it, beyond having seen the
letter in the Standard newspaper, ! 1t may
seem material to state, that when Sir Henry
called upon Lord Falmouth, at IL O'clock at
night, with the proposal to omit the words
affixed to No. 6 in parentheses, it was after
Lord Winchilsea's answer, No. 7, had been
shown to the Duke Of Wellington. This point
is not quite clear in the publication Of Satur-
day. Immediately after Lord Winchilsea had
received his sgrace's fire, and had fred in the
air, Lord Falmouth was the first to propose
satisfactory reparation for Lord Wincbelsea's
publication OF his opinion in the STANDARD
newspaper. Lord Falmouth distinctly declared
on the ground, that it never was a question
with him whether that publication was wrong,
but merely whether Lord Winchelsea was in
situation honorably to subscribe to the terms
proposed after he Lord Falmouth) was re-
quested to undertake the business. Before
the parties took their ground, Lord Falmouth
delivered a sealed letter which he had received
from eWinchilsea on Friday night, to Sir
Henry Hardinge, who returned it after the
affair had been settled.

Memorandum Of Sir Henry Hardinge.

MARCH ~, O'Clock, evening.
Lord Falmouth having expressed desire
to know the extent OF PREPARATION that would be
expected, two suggestions, of what appeared
to SIR Henry Hardinge to be the most natural
mode Of PREPARATION were drawn out, upon the
distinct understanding that they were not made
with view TO confne Lord Winchilsea's ex-
PLANTATION, either rs to the terms or manner
therein stated but as suggestions as TO the
course which might be pursued in bringing the
matter TO satisfactory conclusion. Sir Henry
Hardinge, therefore, on the part Of the Duke
Of Wellington, expects one Of the t,ro following
alternatives: either that Lord Winchisea should
forthwith write TO the Secretary Of the Kings
College, and express his desire TO withdraw his
public letter, as one which attributed motives
highly offensive TO the Duke OF Wellington.
and stating also that upon reflection, he was
not justified in attrbuting such motive to his
grace, and therefore expresses his regret at
having done SO; or, that Lord Winchilsea
should write directly TO the Duke of yelling
ton himself, and make the same acknowledge
ments TO his grace, with similar expression
of his regret for having attributed motives
highly offensive TO his grace, relating to the
occasion of his grace having presided at the
meeting Of the Kings College in 49, last
- which motives he is now sensible he was
not justified in imputing TO his grace.l In
either case, ii is expected that letter. SO writ
ten, should be published by the Secretary Of
the London College in the Standard, being the
same paper as that which contained Lord Win.
chilsea's original letter.

UNITED STATES LEGATION.

1VNDON, Oct' 10, 1909.
SIR: Your note Of the 18th is before me.
You decline to proceed with correspondence
begun six weeks ago, upon grounds which, il
they were not mere pretexts, would have pre-.
vented you from continuing il until now, when
you find yourself convicted both Of falsehood
and calumny.
You assailed me in a published letter; pro-
claimed yourself responsible" for all you said
in IL; ostentatiously declared that you were
"more man Of deeds than words;r and now
that you are driven to the alternative of max.
ing the PREPARATION, or else affording the redress
due from n gentleman, you have shrunk from
either and yielded to that instinct of the coward
which renders him the more reckless of giving
offence as his courage to face the consequences
oozes out.
Yours, &c, ID. f. SICKLES.

DR.. Rush says that the exercise of the organs
Of the breast by singing, contributes to defend
them very much from those diseases to which
the climate and other causes expose them. The
Germans are seldom afflicted with consump.
ton, and splitting Of blood is almost unknown
among them--a fact attributed by Dr. Rush,
in part, to the strength which their lungs ac
quire by exercising them SO frequently in vocal
music, which constitutes an essential branch
Of their education, from their earliest years.

Duel between the Duke OF Wellington and
the Earl OF SyinchiIsea, March al, 1870.

Duel between the Duke OF VelIing ton and
the Earl OF WinchiIsea, March al, sac.
In consequence of the part which the Duke
OF Wellington took, as minister of the country,
in bringing in the Roman Catholic Relief bill,
the Earl OF Winchlsea, who was strongly OBJ
posed to the measure, addressed letter, on
the 18th of March, to the secretary Of the com
mittee for establishing the Kings College, Lon
don, which contained the following passage:
~ was one OF those who, at first, thought the
proposed plan might be practicable, and prove
an antidote TO the principles of the London
University | was not, however, very sanguine
in my expectations, seeing many difficulties
likely to arise in the execution of the sug-
gested arrangement; and confess that l felt
rather doubtful as to the sincerity of the motives
that had actuated some Of the prime movers In
this undertaking, when ! considered that the
noble Duke, at the head of his maiesty's GOV
eminent, had been induced, on this occasion,
to assume new character, and step forward
himself as public advocate of religion and
morality. Late political events have convinced
me that the whole transaction was intended as
blind to the Protestant and high-church
party; that the noble Dnke who had, for some
time previous to that period, determined upon
breaking in upoa the Constitution of 1885,
mignt the more eiiectually, under the cloak OF
some outward show of zeal for the Protestant
religion, carry on his insidious designs for the
Infringement of our liberties, and the introduc-
ton of Popery into every department of the
State" aseia qs

chanan from being party TO your communica.
ton of the 4th instant, as also from my infer
ence that he was the gentleman alluded to in
the latter as only rising to the toast in honor
Of the Queen after repeated promptings from
me, it relieves me from all embarrassment in
replying to your first communications.
AS Secretary of the Legation of the United
States of this Court, / invited you to a dinner,
given by me to the Americans in London, on
the Fourth Of July, in honor of the anniversary
of our National Independence
You attended that dinner, and in violation
Of that courtesy and that etiquette which pre-
walls among gentlemen, you addressed an
anonymous letter to the editor Of the Boston
Post, commenting upon the events of the even.
ing, and charging me with want Of patriotism
and "toadyism" go disgraceful to the Ameri.
can character that you left the table in disqust.
To this unjusti6able assault, / replied, but
confined myself to simple statement of facts
necessary for my defence; and you now seek
to open correspondence with me, because the
facts set forth in defending myself necessarily
impugned your accuracy. To this cannot
assent. Your having been present at my table
as guest, on the anniversary of our National
Independence, does not, under the circum-
stances, authorize you TO carry on a CORES.
pondence with me, and therefore return here
with your communication Of the 4th instant.
In adopting this course, it would be improper
to enter into detailed refutation OF any posi-.
ton assumed by you antagonistical to the state
ments contained in my letter to tho Boston
Post"
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
