Edinburgh to the 17th both inclusive, and Glasgow of the l7fh. The principal items of intelli gence are the death of the Marquis of Londonderry, and the arrival and reception of the King in Edinburgh. The Marquis of Londonderry 10- wards the close of business in Par liament, began to manifest a depres sion of spirits and mental alienation. Some parts of bis conduct bad been remarked as inconsistent and unu seal, but nothing fatal bad been an tic.ipated. On the 9th of August, ■ however, he waited upon the King ' to i,ike leave previous to Ins Majes fy ’s departure for Scotland, and ex limited su b a change in his dress and department as to give seiiousp al. rm.

His Lordship appeared to labour during Ins lunacy, under the fear 1 of an attack upon bis life—and so effectually struck the knife into the artery, in bis neck, as to extinguish life in the space of a minute after— in which lime two quarts of blood fl oved from (lie wound. y No change in (lie ministry had yet bee.) made in consequence of ■ the death of the Marquis. It was - expected that Sir Charles Stewart 1 would tie recalled from ids embassy in France, and be placed, for the time at least, at the head of the ; foreign department. Ilisalsustat 1 ed, th.it the Marquis Wellesley will 1 succeed to the Foreign Depart i men), and that .Mr. Canning, instead ! of going to India, will receive a ministerial appoint merit. The health of the Earl of Lau derdale is in a very precarious staid, and so ne of the accounts stale that Chore is serious ground f>r alarm. 1 J’he King landed nt Leith on the 1 Kith August, and was received with I much enthusiasm by all ranks, and I expressed himself much gratified by i ' ins reception ; on the sixteenth hi • I majesty visile.)

The insurrection in Qatalonia, however, had not been entirely suppressed — , 16.000 men have been sent by hmd j to that province, and 8000 by vvn j ter, to be under tbe command of Gen Mina. A band of 900 men, commanded by the old Partisah Cahills, appear ed in the province of Burgos, it is said that Meiino has again appeared on the scene, but Ibis is not certain. Ferdinand has published an ad dress to the people, in which lie promises to consolidate the national defence, and to perpetuate the na tional cry of‘’Long live the Con stitution.” The King of Persia i« said to have been converted to the Christian Re ligion.

I never llnew the wind to blow as it did. I stifled to go to the house but fortunately could not reach it as the roof fell in about that time.” From Christ Church the accounts are equally bad.

Mr. Hannon, l ife piece above tbe signature of Savannah, came to-my view only ( a day or two since, and notwith standing its affected plausibility, 1 must confess, my first assertion stands in my eye at least unmoved. A monopoly is never granted unless an express or implied condition.— If the Steam Boat Company lias complied to tbe conditions of its in corporation, Sai itnnab lias not prov | ed it. That (be exertion of tbe: Company lately have not been such as they ougtit to have been, I think they themselves will acknowledge, in proof of this, 1 w ill take Savan nah’s own words : He asserts that the reason why the Hamburg Boat is enabled to make her trips so ex peditiouslv, is, that she is of lighter draught of water and has no oppo silion. Grant this, and what is the result ? that knowing the abso lute necessity of light boats for our river in tbe summer, they should be piepared with such boats, or such means, as to render the arrival of goods, an accommodation to the community ; if this is not done, the community is in.posed upon. As regards the second part of the sen tence, “ want of- pposition,” it car tics with it its ow n refutation—op position hy all persons has invnria hly been considered a public bene lit, and unless Savannah produces a new era in policy and accommoda tion, by proving his assertion, I must beg leave to differ from him. A much better reason than the above can be found without using such doubtful arguments —which is, (lie Commerce is under the manage ment of a man of spirit, enterprise and perseverance, who feels pei son ally interested in her success, whose salary depends on Ins exertions and which does not come whether the boat sinks or swims. It is this which makes the Commerce, dart, Dolphin like, through (he stream, shaming the lethargy of the slum bering Leviathan, the Steam Boat Company. But Savannah gives a still stronger proof of opposition, producing exertion ; for he asserts, “ it the Company had laid aside their boats from 1818 to 1820, they would have saved nearly SIOO 000. If tbe company made such loosing works, they were sorely extremely disinterested, provided it was fur jbe benefit of the community. Bui ft;'different was (befict. “The Pole, float Company” was then in existence, and while a victim was near, tile shark must feed. The Pule Boat C'HHpany was broken up. not by low freights, as Savannah as serts but by other causes, which Savannah knows, as well as any oilier poison. This! cuddy accounts for the reason why the Strain Boat Company has been relaxed ; and nmv ail opposition being removed, Maelstroom may draw ali to its bo som. I lie “ motive” of “ No, Monop olist ’ is to rouse the company from its lethargy, and as they have near ly the sole possession of the river to make up to the community, the loss of those conveniences, which it has driven from our reach. Ido asset t, redress and improvement is loudly called for. and must be obtained.— Savannah wonders why the officers arc condemned for indulging them selves of nights only on the Sand- Hills, ivlien for weeks they have naught In employ them.” How ma ny days was a single boat unloading not many weeks since. How much longer is a common Pole Boat coming up than a Steam Boat. Does not the Company frequently raise the fi eight until the community takes up arms aims against it ? And does not the profits disappear in the high salaries, ami extravagant expenses of the Company I Have the Commu nity bgen recompensed by the ac tivity of the company for driving the other boats from tbe river ? 1 n ill not however tire your patience Itl by proceeding further at the pre- ( g sent lime- 1 may hereafter ask ; 1 some other questions, which, thn jn not containing! all the Attic salt in P world, may be rather highly season- h ed, to be pei fee tab ly palatable. t' jXo Monopolist. r r I t . For the Chronicle & Advertiser. \ t “Will Mr. M‘Duffie have the 1 effrontery to deny,” that on the f Bth of June, in addition to the * use of lutestring, he employed a j strong decoction of red oak | j bark, to harden his back ? The result of my shot gives me t 1 the strongest reason to suspect, I s I that such was the fact. Besides, | ( “ 1 have frequently heard it said, ] and indeed the report was pretty | j current, that he used” this decoc-. i tion “ habitually,” for the ex- j < press purpose of rendering his, 1 body bullet-proof. “ I have ‘ heard that a friend of Mr. Me’-! Duffie, in attempting to his recent” refusal to back into a ( fight, (according to his mode,) , observed that Mr. M‘ Duffie could 1 , not meet me after the 4th of Sep tember; because he felt his skin 1 growing tender, having exhaust- i ed his supply of this hardening ' liquid, “ I do not however make a 1 positive charge.—l put it in the form of a query, indicating to be • ! sure my own decided opinion, , hut with the obvious view, that Mr. M‘Duffie may deny the fact if unfounded; and with the certain expectation that it will lead to a disclosure of the truth.” i If I am wrong, “candor and Jus tice will require me to state, that j Ido not believe Mr. M‘Duffie ! did use red oak bark ; and I add, that, it will give me as much pleasure to confess my mistake in this matter, as if” Mr. r ■ * ( M’Duffe were not rather the paltriest fellow’ between Pedeej and Savannah rivers. I withhold the evidence of par ticulars at present, as I am wait ing for Mr. M’Duffie to prove the existence of a “ pretty current re- ; port” concerning my use of opi um, and the declaration of any friend of mine, that he ever be lieved me to have used that arti cle. ; WM. GUMMING. For the Chronicle and Advertiser. As soon as I can obtain from the 1 mountains the evidence for which 1 have written, I shall expose the mi serable artifices, the wilful mistate ments, the artful omissions, and quib bling sophistry, by which Col. Cum ming has endeavored to write himself • out the disgrace which his pom pous march and most ridiculous re ! treat have brought upon him. At • present I shall confine myself to a ’ single topic:—his wilful and infamous misrepresentation of my deportment 1 at Sisters’ Ferry. To refute his im -1 potation, I will not adduce the irre ’ levant certificate of an impertinent • apothecary, but evidence which Col. Gumming himself will not venture to j. question. At Sisters’ Ferry, Doct. ' | Cunningham, the surgeon and par jticular friend of Col. Gumming, stated to one at least of my friends, [ that he had been professionally ; engaged in perhaps eight or ten j such affairs, and never had seen 1 j a man behave with greater firmness ; than myself. When he returned to Augusta, he stated the same in sub stance to others. in the face of this and of the statements heretofore given to the public by my second and sur geon. Col. Gumming has the unblush ing effrontery to exhibit a picture, every lineament of which I do most 1 solemnly believe he knew to be false at the time he was portraying it, I will explain what he calls feeble tchininj : W hen our seconds were drawing for the word, mine was about to put two papers in the hat which Cob Montgomery had prepared. As I it was Col. Montgomery's time to draw, I directed my friend to prepare other papers which could not he dis , tinguished by the touch. He said he presumed it was unnecessary, when 1 insisted peremptorily on his doing so, in the presence of Colonel ; Gumming—clearly implying, both | 1 from the substance and manner of what I uttered, that I thought I was dealing with men who were capable of unfairness. And this, I presume, is what Col. Gumming calls feeble 1 whining. When we were about j measuring the distance, my friend was about to use an exact measure, i To this Col. Gumming objected, sta- < ting that it was usual to step off ten I paces. I replied that it was not ma- J terial, and Col. Gumming and myself ■ both''measured the distance by step-j ping. I then perceived that Colonel: t Gumming had marked oat a place, for himself some distance farther than • he limit of ten paces, which ah* ■ gave him the advantage of a si, , H I stated to him that his position*!' *2 both too far and in the shade ami pointed out the place where he L.JJ M to stand. The moment before w Pi took our positions, Col. Cummin! I requested my friend to repeat the ■ preparatory words in the time and H tone he intended to use. He did so- I when Col. Gumming observed that PI the words were repeated slower than B he was accustomed to hear them re B questing Col. Montgomery to repeat B them in his usual manner. lp s B friend not understanding the trick im 111 tended, repeated them rather slower titan mine had. I then remarked I that it was immaterial to me whether Bf the words were pronounced faster or slower, but that Col. Montgomery | certainly took more time than Capt B Elmore. This I uttered in a tone I and manner indicating that I had de- I tec ted Col. Gumming in the petty B trick, of endeavoring to make me be lieve he shot quicker than he really I did. And this, I suppose, is what I Col. Gumming calls feeble whining. | What I have now stated, with some I remarks in answer to an idle objee- I tion to a black silk neck handker- I chief which hung down to conceal I my ruffle, are the only words I 1 recollect to have spoken for Col. I Cumming’s ear, while on the ground • H and it is easy to determine whether I they were either whining or concilia - m ting in their character. In short, to I say what nothing but the villanous I imputations of my antagonist could I justify, I consulted my own feelings I with a speculative curiosity, and was I surprised to find that even after 1 had I taken my position, 1 could scarcely I realize that I was in danger; and I I sincerely believe that my excessive I confidence and consequent careless- I ness, contributed to produce the ac- I cident that occurred. As I had no I lookingglass, Ido not know how I I looked; but of one thing lam very I certain, that altho’ Col. Gumming is a I ruddy man when out of danger, I could I not descry a drop of blood in his I fa rfrom the time we met till I fell. I This, for aught I know, might be the I case with a brave man; but be that I ias it may, it teas certainly the. case I with Col. Camming. I will also re- I mark that,after our positions were ta- I ken, I deliberately surveyed ray an- I tagonist, and endeavored, ineffectual- I ly, to catch his eye, so terrible in the I ' opinion of his sycophantic worship- I per, the certifying apothecary.
