rMladelphians well remember one Piiul M.
Brennan, as arrant a rogue and quack as ever
figured in these parts. lie found it convenient
to leave this city, and after many wanderings
established himself In Rochester. The press of
the emire country took occasion to expose his
villainies and polluted character, except one or
two newspapers In Rochester, which permitted
the publication of such local notices as the
miserable impostor was pleased to write. Bat
at last they are forced to expose him, in con
nection with a street fisbt in that city. The
Erprett of Monday has the following:
This morning, about 8 o'clock, while John M.
Reynolds was employed writing at the front
window of his residence, on orth St. Paul
street, he observed two men fighting on the
corner of Mortimer (ireet. He noticed that
one of the pnrty was Dr. Paul M. Brennan, who
has an oflice in Washington Hall, and who
Borne time since delivered lectures in Corinthian
Hall. Mr. llejnolds started for the scene ef the
conflict, and observed that the doctor had a
man down upon the sidewalk, and was pound
ing him in the face with his fist and kicking
him in the head with the Lecl of his boot. The
man. whoee name was afterwards ascertained
to be McKay, finally got away from the
doctor BDd fled down tbesueeU He was cov
ered with Mood, and a stream was pouring from
his nose. The aftair was witnessed by other citi
zens of the locality, none of whom knew how it
originated. Mr. Reynolds, however, went to the
police ollicc and swore out a warrant for tbo ar
rest of IV . Brennan, charging hhn with disorderly
conduct, to it. fighting in tbo street and dis
turbing the public peace. Prior to the serving
ol the warrant, Dr.Breunan came into the police
t fllce and gave his version of the affair. He said
fiat at 4 o'clock this morning he was in the
O.vster Oct an. on Buffalo street, where he takes
bis men's, talking and drinking with two other
fontlemcii. one of whom is from Brooklyn.
IcKny came in and joined the party. They drank
totietlier several times, when the doctor, desir
ing to get rid of McKay, told him to go away.
He would uot do so, when ho (the doctor) says
be slapped him in the face and threw him upon
the floor. McKay was then put out of the saloon
by one of the employes. Shortly before eight
orclock, Dr. Brennan started for his rooms, going
bv the wav of North St. Paul and Pleasant
streets, to avoid being feen, as he said he
thought be bad been drinking too much. He
alleges that he was followed by McKay and his
friends, and assaulted on the corner of Morti
mer and North Clinton streets. That he turned
upon McKav aud "he (McKay) got the worst
of it."
In the Ecuflle which took place the doctor'clahm
that be lost or had stolen from him a diamond
pin and an amethyst ring; that he valued the
latter because it had engraven upon it his family
crest. The trial had not takou place wheu we
left this morning.
Dr. E. 8. Preston was called after the above
fight occurred to dress the wounds of McKay.
He found the man's nose terriblv mutilated,
parts being tore away, which will disfigure him
for life. We understand that McKav has also
obtained a warrant for the arrest of Dr. Bren
nan. Thus codetta the first lesson.
AK AFFAIR OF HONOR.
The "Cade" la GorBla-One of the Chivalry
Killed In a Uuel.
' The Savannah Republican of the 20th instant
Thursday evening, judging from the move
ments of several young gentlemen of this city,
we were led to be'lieve that a duel was on the
tapis. Alter satisfying ourselves that such was
really the cause of the movements noticed, we
?uietly awaited further development of facts,
or we well knew that if the parties ever met on
the field there would certainly be bloodshed.
Captain Richard F. Aiken and Mr. Ludlow
Cohen were the principals. Their respective
friends having arranged all tbo preliminaries,
the two parties met at Dr. field's plantation,
about five miles from the city, on the Augusta
road, yesterday mornlne, at an early hour.
When called up. both took their positions on
the field promptly, and everything was in readi
ness for the fatal combat.
Thev fired five times, and at the fifth shot
youug" Lr.dlow Cohen fell. The terrible mes
senger of acath struck him in the right side just
below the ribs. The duel was fought at twelve
paces with regular duelling pistols.
Doctors Charlton and Duncan went to him as
soon as he lei), and saw'at once that he was se
verely wounded. He was placed in a carriage
aud brought to the residence of Mrs. Hertz, lu
this citv, where he lingered until a quarter to
three P". M., when death relieved him of his
anouy.
As regards the right and wrong of this fatal
affray, we are not prepared to judge, but the
dilficulty arose from a remark made by Mr.
Cohen which Captain Aiken considered offen
sive, and sent him a peremptory challange,
which was promptly accepted. The fatal result
we have alieady told.
A coroner's inquest was tadd ver the body
yesterday. At the conclusion of the evidence,
the followiug verdict was agreed upon:
We, the jury, find that the deceased, Ludlow
Cohen, came to bis death by a gunshot wound
received from the bands of" Richard F. Aiken,
whilst fighting a duel 'contrary to the laws of
Georgia.
At a late hour last night it was rumored that
warrants had been issued for the arrest of the
party connected with this nnfortunate a flair, but
we could uot trace it to any reliable source..
We understand that Mr. Cohen was Insured in
the Piedmont and Arlington Life Insurance
Company for five thousand dollars, and that the
policy V 111 be paid.

IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE.
MacMahon Still at Chalons.
Bazaine Shutup in Mctz
Their Reported. Junction Denied.
' FROM EUROPE.
Important from the Front.
London, Ar. 24. It is reported in Londoa
this morning that MacMahon is still at Chalons,
and that Bazaine's position is unchanged. ' He
is still at Metz.
Mctz is isolated.
MacMahon has not gone to reinforco Razaine.
The French themselves assert that the Prus
sians are in strong force on the west aide of
Mctz. The situation has not materially changed
since last Saturday, except that the Crown
Prince has halted at St. Dizier for the purpose
of reinforcing the Prussian centre and right.
St. Dlzler is a town of 8000 Inhabitants oa
the right bank of the River Marne, 35 milea
southeast of Chalons and 115 E. S. . of Paris.
Ed. Tel.
Too Keported Isolation of ItletzConnrmea.
Paris telcgTaras just received here declare that
Metz is certainly isolated, that the Prussians
have cut off communications between Thion
vllle, Montnaedy and Metz, that MacMahon and
Bazaine are in daily communication, nnd that
no mediation is likely to succeed unless Napoleon
takes the initiative.
Contradictory Storlea.
Another Paris special says: La Patrie rei
terates my special of yesterday that MacMahon 'a
forces are with or near Bazaine.in the Argonnes
mountains. But another authority reports that
it is only the "army of Chalons," regularly lo
cated there, that has joined Bazaine, and that
the latter still keeps all his lines intact.
