SIR JAMES GaARAII AND SIR JAMES SCARLET-r.—:1 31r. Thomas Walker, of Pall Mall East, published in the Times of Alenday two let- ters—one from Sir RobErt Wiisen to Sir Junes Scarlett, and one from Sir James to Sir Robert—respecting certain expressions used at the Cumberland election by Sir James Graham. Tie communication be- tween the learned Knight and the First Lord of the Adniiralty seems to have been a purely friendly one, and to have been carried out for no purposes of lenient-able satisfaction, as it is called, which would have been equally unsuitable to Sir James Scarletes age and station, but merely to remove that feeling in the breast of either party whialt their occasional meeting in private life would- have rendered so highly disa- greeable, without some explanation having been previously requested and made. Sir James Graham deniee to Sir Robert Wilson that he ever used, or meant to use, any phrase that conveyed art imputation um Sir James Scarlet t's moral character; and the epithet " innimous," :applied to the puldic prosecutions, be felt assilred was a mist eport. It was understood that ;Sir Rehert's letter, conveying this disavowal, was to be shown to such of Sir James Sc:trlett's friends as he saw fit, hilt not published : published, however, it was, as we have stated. The result has been more last words front Sir James Graham and Sir Robert Wilson ; the latter apologizing to the former for 0 step whiclo he says he had not sanctionee, and from Sir James Scarlett defending the pub- lication.

BOROUGIIMONGERS.—On Tuesday sennight, there were caught in a small net, near the mouth of the Almond, sixty-seven pikes, each

having in its stomach from one to five smelts. This is a species of poachers which do more damage than all the other poachers together.— Perth Advertiser.

CLIMAX ON Peeetentax.—Last night, a gentleman in the Opera pit, ex. patiating on the wonderful powers of the virtuoso, and after much superlative phrase, concluded thus—" Wonderful ! wonderful ! 'Pon my soul, that 'ere last was just like a mist/e!"

A FORFARSHIRE ANTI-REFORMEIL—An ultra-Tory in he county of Forfar lately refused to take two ponies which had beets bespoken fur hint, because they were grey. " 1 detest every thing that has the name of Grey !" said this rational being.—Glesgoto Chronicle. [This felhey, to be consistent, should hung himself the moment his hair begins to turn.] Emit:letter Fishes.—A living lobster was a few days since taken out of a branch of the river Waveney, at Femme, hi Norfolk, nearly forty megs from the sett.—!brioivh 111creury.

AL SultI.ET nit Cnoenot.—The Belgic Regent is about sixty years of age, and is said in many respects to resemble Mr. Coke, Of Norfolk, as well in his long attachment to liberty as in his agricultural pursuits.

Coseueces non AILMS.—The execution of the: French contract for arms taken by the manufacturers of Birmingham is, for the present, sus- pended. Orders to this effect were received on Thursday evening ; and, in obedience to instructions, the inspector appointed to superintend the work went to London the stone evening. A few months ago, it was currently reported that our manufacturers had received offers for arms foe' Poland. Such, we are now inclined to believe, was the case.

If the facts be as our correspondent states them, we can have no hesitation in concurring in his judgment of the gaoler.

Tint ABBE Gavtontm—The celebrated.. Bishop of Blois died on Sae thrday, without retracting his errors : the Archbishop of Paris in conse- quence forbade any of his clergy to read the service at his funeral. He was belied with military honours, as a Commander in the Legion of Honour.

Tun Boma IN EASTCIIHAP.—.Xmong the sacrifices to utility caused by the New London Bridge, there is none which the admirer of the drama, the archasoloeist, and the lover of good fellowship will more regret than the destruc' ion of the Boar 'in Eesteheap. The ancient hostel of Dame Quickly is epich-19 to disappear ; and if the ghost of the fat knight could "revisit the glimpses of the moon," he would in vain seek his ancient and beloved sack posset in the Boar. There was a sacredness about this spot which had its effect even upon the Common Council, who would have spared the spot from reverence of its ancient associations ; but the imperative demands of a good approach to the new structure have over- come all such poetical scruples, and " the Boar's-Head " makes way be- fore the march of ituprovement.—.3forniag Chronicle. [The "Boar in Eustcheap" has perished to long that its site is disputed. The house about to be removed is a three-story brick alleir scum: dozen or twenty years old. The thing is an utter abomination, and site sooner it is swept away the better.] Last' KNoweeigne—A captain of a man-of-war, newly appointed to a ship on the Irish station, took the precaution, in " beating out" of ]:arbour, to apprize the pilot that he was totally unacquainted with the coast, and therefore he must rely entirely on the pilot's local knowledge fin- the safety of his ship. " You are perfectly sure, pilot," said the captain, " you are well acquainted with the coast ?" " Do I know my own name, Sir ?" " Well, mind I warn you not to approach too near to the shore." " Now make yourself otee, Sir ; in troth you may go to bed, if you phase." " Then, shall we stand on ?" " Why,—what else would we do ?" " Yes, but there may be hidden dangers, which you know nothing about." " Dangers !—I like to see the dangers dar hide themselves from Mick. Sure. don't I tell you I know ever rock on the coast t• [Here the ship strikes] and that's one of 'ent ! "—Metropolitan. As:ERIC:AN De sne—A t Rodney, on the 13th April, Dr. B. H. Moyler, of Lake Washington, challenged John Briscoe, Esq. just as Mr. Briscoe had dressed himself to attend a wedding. Briscoe endeavoured to avoid any contest till the wedding was over ; but the Doctor claimed instant satisfaction, spit in his face, and at the same time attempted to draw a large duelling-pistol from his bosom, but was prevented. Briscoe ran into a store, where he procured a short gun, and coming out, called to tee company to clear the way. At eleven paces, both raised their wea- pons ; Briscee's snapped ; Dr. Moyler shot Briscoe in the arm and ab- domen, and had drawn another pistol, and was in the act of firing, when Briscoe's gnu, being recocked, went off ; the Doctor fell, and died the same night. The American paper which narrates this pleasant affair, calls it

a rencontre !"
