EDWASD CALLANAN, EMI. of Eyrccourt, when, on the first discharge of pistols, both parties were slightly wounded. Ili former grazed across the eyebrow, and the latter slightly wounded in the kg. No entreaties of the seconds being of avail, and they not knowing that either party was touched, another ease of pistols was presented. At this moment a simultaneous fire took place, and both shots took effect—Mr. Dowman being shot in the shoulder, and Mr. CALLANAN through the brars,—An Inquest was held on the body of Ems *RD CALLAHAN, Esq. and a Verdict of Wilful Murder returned by the Jury against his adversary, PAvascr Doxr.LAN, Esq.  Last night, at the early hour of eight, as Mr. WINTER, nursery and seedsman, was returning from the Argyll Nursery, Paddington-green, on coming up to the corner of the New-road, in the Edgeware-road, a fellow let fly a dreadf4l blow from under the dead wall, and hit him below the ear; he lay stunned for a few minutes, and was taken up by the watchman badly hurt by his fall, as also by the blow. The villain made his escape with his watch and property. Thursday evening, the chambers of 'Mr. JAY, of Gray's Inn-square, were entered by some villains, and books to the value of £350 carried off. Sunday night the Caves under Dover Castle, belonging to Sir SYDNEY SUITII, were broken into and robbed of several articles. Three young persons belonging to Dover have been taken up, and committed to Jail on suspicion of the said felony. A trunk, carried by two men, who ran away, was found by the men of the Preventive Service, on duty near the place, which led to a discovery. A respectable farmer, named Winnicouns, residing at Winslow, near Yealmpton, was unfortu• 'lately killed at Ivy-bridge, by being thrown from his horse, last week, at the moment the Regulator coach was passing, by which accident his head was so crushed by one of the wheels, as to cause his death. The town of Sudbury was thrown into considerable bustle on Wednesday, by some wag having imposed upon the Common Crier to announce that Alderman Wool), M.P. had arrived in that place for the purpose of refunding to the contributors the money received for the purchase of a service of plate for the late QUEEN, and that he would meet the subscribers at the Rose and Crown Inn, between five and seven o'clock. The Alderman was dining with a friend in lthe town when the notice was given : a number o persons soon collected, but measures were speedily taken to assure them that the whole was a hoar.  •Wednesday night a Kentish youth ate for his supper, at the Talbot Inn, in the Borough, three dozen and a half of oysters, one pound and a quarter of cheese, three quarters of a pound of bacon, a quantity of! muscles, three salt herrings, nine penny pies, a large onion, and a half-quartern loaf, and drank one pot of ale and one of beer. It appeared only an ordinary meal to him !! Sunday morning, between one and two o'clock, Edward Murray, a labourer, employed at the Blakelow Iron Stone Mine, was attacked by five soldiers, on the Ponteland road, not far from the Barracks. Two of them seized him by the arms, and a third struck him behind the head, which brought him to the ground. They then took from him three £1 notes and 18s. in silver, kicked him on the head, and left him. Five soldiers (four of the 74th Regiment of Foot, on their match through Newcastle, and one of the Fusileers stationed there) are now in custody, and have been examined on the charge; three of them were positively sworn• to by the prosecutor,. They were all remanded for further examination. It appears they had been all drinking together at a public-house, where they saw Murray had money,
