between DR.. Wilkins and Dir. FIanner, a COM
mission merchant, both Of Wilmington, North

cut off q part of the Doctors ear; the second fire

hat was a new one-and desired that IL should
not be aimed at. The seconds here interposed
and used their best endeavors to reconcile the
difficulty, but without success. The combat~

was killed at the first fire. The quarrel origi-

We retnrn our sincere thanks to Messrs
MARKS & TURNER, for the very fattering re-
marks respecting US, contained in the last
issue of the Neps. We assure them that we
appreciate their compliment very highly. Po-
iitical differences should never lead to- personal
feeling, much less to scurri)ity and abuse on
the part Of an editor, and we are therefore
highly pleased that a course of this kiud
which we have endeavoFed to pursue, should
be so latteringIy acknowledged by a political
opponent. No one can utter such a senti-
ment, however, with regard to another, with.
out being entitled to it himself. The editors
Of the News, in their past career, are fully
entitled to the same credit and honor which
they would award to US.

MONEY AND BUSINESS IN New YoRK.-The
week closes On a decided Improvement in the
money and stock markets. Money is accumula-
ting in deposits in Wall street. Some small
amounts of coin have been sent to New Or
leans. S250,00o has been put up for that dest-
nation this morning, but the receipts of coin
from the West make up for it. The payments
for duties have been very light this week, and
the Assay. Office has coined the whole OF the
California receipts deposited there. Next week
the payments for duties will probably be again
larger, as there are several steamers TO arrive in
port in the course of few DAYS Though the
imports appear large this year in comparison
with last at this period, it is to be remarked that
winter and spring was a period of great con
traction, and there was a large quantity OF goods
previously on hand which was not the case here
on the commencement of the importations.-
The demand, it is confidently felt, will equal the
supply Business has commenced early, and it
is likely to continue active through the season
Money is easy for discounts and call loans Dis
counts mostly at Sale, and 6a7.
The easier condition of the money market has
led to make inquiry for sterling exchange, and
bill-drawers consequently tirmer, especially
for sterling The terms are l0S1aloSi as
The steamers news has not corresponded to
expectation. The Bank of England has not
raised its rates of interest, and consos. instead
of declining, have risen under the renewed ex-
pectations of peace. The stock market is
much strengthened by the news notwithstand-
ing the efforts of the bear party to counteract
the effect. The most prominent operator sold
yesterday no less than $4,000 shares of various
stocks time, and Sl6a,o 900 of bonds. The ac-
iivily of the market made amends for the ex-
treme duliness of the previous few weeks, but
the spectators for an advance were more in
number than those for decline, though the
transactions on either side were equal The
bulls exhibited the stronges, faith.

sF The falling off in emigration to this coun-
try from the old world during the last year, has
been charged upon the Know-Nothings. The
true cause is probably the demand for men
which has grown out of the war. And that this
conclusion is the true one is evidenced by the fact
that the same falling off has been experienced in
the emigration to Canada, where Nahvism has
hardly been heard of. The arrivals from all
foreign countries were for 1854, 1888, while
