FArAL DUEL IN New ORLEANs.-The
Picayune Of Tuesday last has the follow
ing paragraph among its city items
Yesterday, so-calied affair of honor
came off on the Metairic Ridge, near
the race course, in which one Of the
paities was instantly killed. The facts Of
the case, so far as we have learned, are as
follows :: The challenger was Mr.. Geo.
w. White, a bookkeeper in a large hard
ware establishment, and his antagonist
fwho was killed. was Mr.. Pakenham
Leblanc. Deputy Sheriff who attended
tn the Supreme Court. We last saw Mr..
Leblanc, when he was engaged in read
ing the death warrant of Kennedy on
Friday last. On the evening Of the same
day, as we learn, he went to Society
Ball At Masonic Hall, on ST. Charles
street, and found some difficulty in obtain
ing admission for lady who accompanied
him. This caused him to retire in anger,
and when subsequently he met Mr.. White,
who was one Of the acting managers Of
the ball, he deliberately spat in his face.
Mr.. White then challenged him, and the
challenge being accepted, the partie. met
At I o'clock yesterday afternoon, to settle
their difficulty with double barreIed guns,
at fifteen PAGES. afaf1 ST. ss0 5E;.' ai.ss
sh At the given signal Mr.. White fred, and
his antagonist was shot through the heart,
but his finger was on the trigger, and in
falling he discharged his piece, though
though without doing any execution. His
body was then carried to his residence on
Bourbon street, and an inquest will be
held on II this morning. What became
Of Mr.. White after the fatal issue we have
not learned. sd'is -a- 7e--f.i 20

The American Horses i'm England.

"Bad newsr' says Porter's Spirit of
of the Times, about Mr.. Ten Broeck's
American stable, in England 1t seems
that, Patrick Haley, the jockey, and George
Harris, ",he rubber" Of Lecomte, have
arrived in New York in the ship Gazelle,
from Liverpool, and bring the news that
Lecomte has given way in his f"relegs, to
such degree, that he will not be able to
start, during the coming season, on the
English turf-indeed, that it is extremely
doubtful il he will ever be fit to make a
race again. This news is bad enough,
but, as if 10 give new credit to the old
maxim that, misfortunes never come
SINGLE" Prioress is represented as suffer
ing from string halt, and the only one left
in true condition was Pryor, who also, by
slhe-by, had been complaining slightly in
the feet. These miSfortunes are attributed
by the jockey to the fact that the horses
have been put in training too early after
their long sea voyage, and arrival in a new
meridian, and it is the opinion. that they
should not have beer put to work till near
the spring. Indeed, we are informed, (say
the editors.) that such were Mr.. Ten
Brock directions when he left for Italy !;
and We are further informed that, at the
time of the departure Of the jockeys from
Liverpool, Mr.. Ten Brock had not yet
been appraised of the disastrous news -
With Pryor, therefore, seems to remain
the entire weight of supporting his coun-
ftry's racing fame and it must be admitted
that we have no longer any right to be
sangninc in his favor, against the thousand
racers Of great racing country, after the
mishaps that have happened to the com.
rades of his enterprise. We are glad to
be able to state, however, that at the last
accounts, Pryor's feet were "right," his
general condition excellent, and higl,
hopes are entertained that he will be in a
fit state to distinguish himself when the
bugle brings him to the score.
The injury which has happened to
Prioress is said to be not Of an irremediable
nature. The string halt is not deemed
by the " Spirit as positive unsoundness.
Fashion had it once in both legs, and to
use the expression of an old turfman, "she
raised them alternately high enoug h to
step over small yellow dog. but she re-
covered and ran well at that"

young female standing in his vicinity
Then came very emphatic responses, and
a pronouncing of somebody imam and

OF feminine kissing. The upshot was that
