NORFOLK, Va, August 2l.-A duel be-
tween Colonel William Lamb, Mayor Of
Norfolk, and Captain James Barron Hope,
editor Of the Landmark, was nipped in the
bud to-day by fine arrest OF Colonel Lamb as
he was about leaving the city soon after
daybreak, in company With his son, for the
duelling-ground.
Captain Hope left the city last night at S
O'Clock, and was at the rendezvous at Great
Bridge this morning at the appointed hour,
with his friends, and waited there Until II
O'Clock, when messengers arrived from
Norfolk TO state that Colonel Lamb was ar
rested. Captain Hope then drove back TO
the city, and was arrested and placed under
bonds TO keep the peace in the penalty
Of $4,000, the same amount OF bond that
Colonel Lamb gave in the morning.

been fought with rifles at thirty PAGES. The
difficulty grew out Of a controversy about

mel Lamb, in his lat letter, using the fol-
lowing offensive language:

was pronounced, nor the order after it was
written on the 23t; nor did / ever enter
