"As I said above, NE duel was fixed for
the 9Th to afford the parties time to arrange
their private affairs. On the 16ih about
midnight M. Soule received visit from
Lord HoWden, who said the time Of the
combat should be advanced, as the Spanish
Government had determined to interpose,
and in that case the Marquis OF Turgot
would consider himself discharged of all
responsibility. NJ. Soule replied that this
sudden change in the arrangements agreed
upon was very inconvenient to him, but he
preferred submitting to the annoyance to
losing the PREPARATION which he had right
to. The rendezvous was fixed for next dav
(l7th) at noon. On the ground, fresh diff
hculiics arose between the seconds. Those
Of Mr.. Soule, demanded in his name, that
the distance with pistols should be ten pa
ces. Those of the Marquis refused to lend
themselves TO what they called butchery,
and proposed 40 PAGES. "Is that, then,
what the Marquis calls answering me at the
mouth Of the pistol" exclaimed Mr. Soule.
But he was forced to submit to the judges
of the field.
Placed face to face, the adversaries ex-
changed shots without result AT the second
fire, the Marquis was shot in the thigh, and
after saying Il am shot fell into the arms
of one Of Mr. SouIe's seconds. The wound
is said TO be serious notwithstanding this
tragic termination, no reconciliation took
place, which renders the affair more TO be
Mr. Soule commends much the
conduct Of Lord Howden, the principal Sc
cond Of his adversary Thus ended diff
ference which commenced by sad epigram

RESIGNATION.
AY HENRY ". EorerEIrow.

Az HENRY w. LoEGFELLow.
There is no flock, however watched and tended,
But one dead lamb is there!
There is no tireside, hOwso'er defended,
Bat has one vacant chair.
The air is full of fareweIls to the dying,
And mourning for the dead;
The heart Of Rachel, for her children crying
Will not be comforted!
Let us be PATIENT these severe Affections
Not from the ground a.ise,
But oftentmes celestial benedictions
Assume this dark disguise.
We see but dimly through the mists and va
Pors;
Amid these. earthly damPs;
What seem 70 US but dim, funeral taPers,
May be Heavens distant lamps.
There is no death! what seems so is transition,
This life Of mortal breath
Is but suburb Of the life elysian,
Whose portals we call death.
She is not dead--the child Of our affection
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our poor protection,
And Christ himself doth rule.
In that great Cloister's stiffness and seclusion,
BY guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sins pollution,
She lives, whom we call dead.
Day after day we think what she is doing
In those bright realms of air;
Year after year her tender steps pursuing,
Behold her grown more fair.
Thus do we walk with her, and keep unbroken
The bond which Nature gives,
Thinking that our remembrance tho unsPoken,
May reach her where she lives.
Not as child shall we again bohold her;
For when with raptures wild
In our embraces we again enFold her,
She will not be child;
But fair maiden in her Fathers mansion,
Clothed with celestial grace;
And beautiful with all the souls expansion
Shall we behold her face.
And though at times impetuous with emotion
And anguish long suppressed
The swelling heart heaves moaning Ike the
ocean,
That cannot be at rest;
We will be patient! and assuage the feeling
We cannot wholly stay;
BY silence sanctifying, not conceaiing
The grief that must have way.

DEATH OF Mrs. BAILEY, NEE MISS WATSON ruw
VOCALIST.
Mrs Bailey, or - she better known To tbe tbsat,

yesterday morning.
Miss Watson was native Of England, and at the t,mr
of her death was about thirty Ave years old Her father
was the manager of theatre in London and perhaps to-
this circumstance Is owing the early prediction she
hibited for the stage About eighteen years ago ahs
visited this country for the first tme and commenced
her the boards Of the old Park theatre where
she appeared in the Mountain Sylph," with the most
aatterpg success. Miss Watson had excellent CON
rao voice. and Of very pretty face and
graceful though petite figure. In addition to these at
fractions she enjoyed the reputation among critics of
being an actress Of considerable merit In this country
wen as in England she popular favorito and al
played to crowded houses About years ago she
compelled to retire the stage in consequence Of
nheath and has never to the period Of her DEATH
appeared in public Those visited the old Park the

she created in connection with Madame Anna Bishop In
the line Of Epgliah opera. Mrs. Bailey has left two
children.

was not surprised at the irritation Of Mr. George
f. Belts as ENLISTED in his note to you dated the
4th inst. A puoic attack upon me by the father
was rightly enough followed up by the son. He,
has, however, travelled too far out Of the record to
admit OF my following nim. His alusion to my very
great misfortune in lot having had children before
was married might appear more advantageously
in some other place than in an attempted vindica-.
ton Of his fathers Judgment. STILL as his good
taste has brought that unhappy circumstance before
the public, l must ask reasonable suspense Of
opinion to any uniavorable inference Mr. Belts may
havointsnded to draw from it. 1.-THE legal question
which have presented is to be further pursued,
respectfully submit to Mr. George r. Belts the ex.
psdien:y Of emitting auy further reference to pedi
gree, family preteUces, OF tnat other subject, to
which, witu equal peftnency to the point in hand,
delcacy OF taste, aud purity Of language, he has
go felicit0usly alluded. OF the proprety Of follow.

that no fear OF comparisons has dictated it.
Far from imagining The sinful design imputed to
me, my sense OF right approved, and still approves,

ment and, In some degree the rectitude Of his eli
which would have been unlawful, offered liberal
reward for the discovery Of . valuable truth. So
far nom wishing to give just cause Of offence, my
language was courteous u all concerned. imput-
ted no "tault" to Judge Belts, but only BY infer
ence from my own opinion, suggested error. With
this, all onr Judges are constantly Oh I'd in&he
courts OF review.
But to the point in hands Mr.. Belts does not meet
the question at all. He appends note from Mr..
Stoughton. To that gentleman's statements ON
any subject would pay the greatest respect. am

Cuba md the Spanish special
Dispatches to Washington.


We have reason to believe that the return, a.
this time, to the United States, OF Mr. Daniel E.
Sichles, Secretary Of Legation at London, rs
some important connection with the diplomacy
Of the new ministry created at Madrid by =
Spanish revolution. A private letter,
we received yesterday from Paris, announ.- .
the arrival there Of the younger Souls, with i'm
poriant Dispatches from Madrid, destined for
the government at Washington. These papers
were doubtless delivered to Mr.. Buchanan and
by him transmitted, in the keeping Of his Secre-
tary, for delivery into the hands of Mr.. Marcy
The Premier and the President, we presume
enjoyed the first perusal of them last night Mr.
Sickles, we believe, left in the evening train
for Washington direct.
What the drift Of these dispatches is, may.
perhaps, be gathered from an announcement in
The London newspapers, some six weeks or two
months ago, that special messenger had ar
rived there, en- route for Madrid, the bearer of
specific offer to Spain for the purchase of the
Island OF Cuba. We first received this infor-
nation, singularly enough, through the
London Morning Herald, the secresy of
our Cabinet having for once been proof gainst
the Argus eyes and ears OF the whole corps If
our special reporters and letter writer's at
Washington-regulars and volunteers. Per-
haps the Spanish revolution may have hinged,
to some extent, upon the proposition carried to
Madrid by Marcys special messenger, sent out
in lieu Of the formidable extra ambassadors
ex-Vice President Dallas, of Pa, and ex-Gov-
ernor Cobb Of Gccrgia-at first proposed. 1t is
also probable that the new ministry may
have virtually accepted the offer Of our gov
ernmcnt and that Mr.. Sickles is the bearer of
the documents upon the subject, preliminary to
a treaty for The final acquisition of the island.
General ODonnell, the military leader of the
Spanish revolution, our readers will remember,
was at one time Captain General of Cuba and
his experience aud observations there may
have given shape to the diplomacy Of the new
Cabinet in regard to the manifest destiny of
The island in que, ton.
But, IT In these conjectures we have indca-
ted toe real situation of affairs. what can we
say of our administration, except that II ba,
