Duelling.ht Hon. Da vid Barton, a U. S. Senator from Missouri, was lately chal lenged by Hon. Henry W. Con way, delegate from Arkansas, for some offensive expressions.

Con trary to all expectation they were pronounced not guilty! The trial occupied nine da vs. The Maysville Eagle, speaking of this result, says, "our respect ior me great palladium oi per sonal liberty, (the trial by jury) induces us to forbear comment. Such, however is the strength of public feeling in Bourbon, that on Friday night last, the jurors were burned in effigy, and the Rogue's March beat over the grave." Bribery.

Chronicle, says "Seve ral detachments of musnt'?tcos have recently arrived in town, and are quartered upon our citi zens. They seem to be lively and active, and are so entirely free from party spirit, that they are equally attentive to the friends and opposers of all the Presidential candidates; and any person laying down at night without a pavilion, may be sure of receiving some feeling evi dences of their regard, without the trouble of electioneerin sc for their favors." Maryland. The state of Maryland is entitled to eleven Presidential Electors. The An napolis Republican has publish ed the names of the several elec toral candidates, as far as they have been announced, and for whom they will Vote, if elected. By this list it appears, that twelve electors have offered for Mr. Adams ten for General Jacksonnine for Mr. Craw ford, and two for Mr. Clay. Rhode-Island. The conven tion of the state of R. Island, for forming a Constitution, closed its session finally on the 3d inst. The constitution was adopted in convention by a vote of 52 to 9.

Great Fire in Boston. One of the most destructive fires which has been witnessed in Boston for many years, occur red on Wednesday, 7th inst. it commenced a few minutes be fore 1 o'clock, afternoon, in a car penter's shop at the back of the block of brick houses in Charles street, hear the intersection of LSeacon-street. The weather was hot, there had been no rain for several days, and the wind was uncommonly high from the north-west. Within three hours from the time the fire was dis covered, six houses on Charles street, seven on Beacon-street, and two on Chcsnut-street, be sides stables, stores, and shops, were completely destroyed. One cf the Boston papers states, that the loss sustained will not fall short of $1 00, 000. Richmond, July 6. ...Last week Judge Brockenbrough held an extra term for the trial of criminal causes for this coun ty. Eldridge Bridgwater, Geo. Dixon and Joshua Jones, three free men of color, were found guilty, and under the law were adjudged to be sold as slaves and transported beyond the li mits of the United States. One of these was for larceny; the 2d for larceny and burglary; the 3d for a rape upon the body of a free girl of color. In the name of humanity we repeat our pro test against this barbarous law. Wm. Adams was convicted of a misdemeanor in keeping and exhibiting a faro-table. He was sentenced tp three months imprisonment in the countv jail, and to 10 stripes. Macon Green was convicted of a misdemeanor, in attempting to blow up, by means of a little box, fixed with gunpowder and two lighted dandles, James Ly ons, a contractor on the James Riv?r eanak Ths schir? was providentially detected by Ly ons, after the box had been put under his bed; the light, was seen, and the candles extinguish ed, in time to prevent the mur der of Lyons and other persons who were in the leg cabin with him. Green was sentenced to pay a fine of S200, and to seek repentance, for three years in the county jail, without bail or mainprize. Law Decisions... Two noint have recently been decided by the Supreme Court of the State of Alabama, which are consider ed of great importance as to their effect oh a very large a- mount ol existing contracts. The first is, that, under the State Law of 1818, a higher rate of interest than 8 per cent. is not recoverable on any con tract, except those which ccc- jrressly stipulate for the pay ment ot higher interest from the date, and then only to the lime fixed for payment. . The second is, that a note with a "scrall" at the signature, with the word seal written in the scrall, is not sufficient to consti tute a sealed note. Navy. ...We regret to learn. says the N. Y. Statesman, from an authentic source, that several youngofficers have died on board me U.b. brig kpark, Cant. New- Ion, on her passage from the Havana to mis city, where she arrived yesterday. Among the number was Midshipman James Clinton, of Albany. He had long been absent from his coun try and was an active, merito rious and promising young offi cer. His premature death will be a loss to the public service to which he was devoted, and a severe affliction to the numerous circle of his friends. The names of the other two persons who died on board have not yet been ascertained. Small Pox. -The Augusta (Geo.) Chronicle states that the Small Pox has appeared in the Cherokee nation, where it is spreading with serious mortali ty. Five Indians of the nation, on their return from Philadel phia, found their company at tacked with this alarming: dis ease on their journey; four of mem died, and one unfortunate ly was attacked after he home, and was the occasion of spreading the disease in the neighborhood. Sixteen per sons, it is said, have already died with it, and in almost eve ry case it proves mortal. An express was sent to Augusta for the purpose of procuring some vaccine matter, which it was hoped might be the instrument ot arresting the course of this malignant and fatal disorder.
