The , instittilion" of the dull° is a very ,ancient one. - As public quarrels were decided by public wars, so private disputes have becin adjusted; time out of mind, by individual con tests. Of course; this was scarcely a fair way of, deciding them,' for superior strength of superior skill in the use of weapons—the lance, or the sword, or both:-sometimes gave' one adversary fearful odds. over another. .When portable firearms came into general uso, piss tols placed atuong the weapons employed in these private wars. Until tho close of the laid century, when civilians discontinued wear ing swords, such Combats wore decided by cold steel or cold lead—the rapier or the pis tel. The latter weapon gradually superseded the former; particularly when one combatant was knowvn,to be a good swordsman, and the 'othbi not: then the skilled ,man would gal, lantly _place ,hiniself on , a level ; witli • the, bi.offering { ter light --with-,pistols' 'PO WrllOOlM2K 9 AoillYinit'RSt# l .AXMo‘lTt coda esett4 'when ohaltadeti ativiiyietutth ehthoo of 'weaporis';'-'l3l4l)FOAtir?lkivlkol'iliad; when?' tt(gerifienlail Off* tco,i)o 4d . ,,f)l ll othe r to' fii~dfr hiniffirlitiggcealgqillp949 ,1 1 )e iho OTTIO Ws' occittesY solar as to, sendoritk ohalienge, a strip Of, paper _exiteilyTtini length of pis ovor.sWord. •-:-Wlienavliat: Were . called (ellocithbiLapring and (ehal?Ltrifiter!!.lill l 4.;vo4'Aai'Ontodi "itift,iiCritie77 Difithing,gravely alrookl HMV: -heads, and declareththafatieffWeapOnl4 y(6%, had the 'rep ntatlOrt:sie#4.r7bil4ing 1.1r14 were :unfair, us. they.

Men who could snuff candles or shoot the red spot out bf the ace of hearts, very often'Were killed by ravy youngsters who actually did .not -know, in loading -a pistol, whether the powder or the ball first 'should go intelhe barrel. II )1815, Mr; D'EsrEaniote connted the best shot in - Ireland, 'challenged Mr. O'CONNELT for rising the word "beg- garly",.to describo the Dublin Corporation. O'Coassas, who could not shoot -at all, had to accept the challenge, though his friends anticipated that ho would be killed. The Cor poration—a corrupt and ruffianly set of Orange men, who prostrated the holy name 'of Religion before the altar of Party—chuckled over the anticipated success of their champion, whose victory would rid them, it was hOped, - of a troublesome and popular opponent. The most lucrative ,office in their gift,. and they had many rich ones, was promis, to D'Es.. ?ERRE if lie came back a conqueror over O'CONNELL. Crowds of Orangemen, went to the the ground, on ono of the coldest and most frozen days in February, to tee O'CoNtign -.shot down, as a sportsman would shoot his game—but WEsricaus,tho candle-snuffer, Was himself brofight down,by O'CoNstatx,-(sehance shot, and died in forty hours, deeply repent ing, on his death-bed,l)hat he had been tempt eth, influences and the promises of largo-.c,ompensation, to go out agOnst O'Cox xg,n, with the 'expectation and intention of assassinating him. There is a' lesson and there is a deep moral, much. nearer home than Ireland, in such an incident as Oki: Have we not soon, with as mach -shame as indignation, how many of our own' public men, at Washington—and even duriui the recent Legislative session there— have presumed upon their real, or reputed pro clivities, as "fire-caters," offensively to try and foice their own peculiar opinions upon individuals,-as bravo as themselves, at least, 'though pot so accustomed to boast. The coun -65, hailobierved it also, and it has been noticed and condemned in distant lands, to which the press had conveyed its accounts of these transactions. It would be well if such persons would bear in mind this 'tragic end of D'Es- TERII,E, a consummation so different from what, in his vainglorious, audacity, had been looked for by himself and-his friends. - • :Were we - ," the 'vein," and did we think that our reaers would care to read what we might say upon the subject,- we could write a dozen articles--which would be not quite dull, we ltope—upon Duelling and Duellists in Ire land., In the latter part of the last century, almost every man who aimed at distinction in a public career—particularly in politics and ut the bar—" blazed" his way into notice. Not to have fought admit was the exception, in those gunpowder days. Indeed, so established an Institution was the &alto, in Ireland, that a regular, code of laws was framed to regulate it, and strictly acted upon, so that, it. a eau was sh ot, his friends might console themselves -thatlt was done strictly en regto. We easily could give some sketches illustrating 'lrish' duelling; shall we 7 . There was a good deal of private fighting in England, contemporaneously with the Irish " exercises " to which we allude. But it has very much gone into disuse, of late. The last duel of importance, 'which gave' almost a death-blow to tho practice, was fought, in Lon don', (UChalk Farm, foot of Trimrogelliil,) .on July 1,1818. Colonel FAWCETT, a man of great amiability and quick temper, took un reasonable of line° at, soniething said or done by Lieutenant Mum), challenged him, .fought, and was killed. 'Masao was tried for murder; convicted, and' soatencethte be banged. Pub lie sympathy was most strongly 'nails favor, and, the late Duke of lirmaraClTON energetically interfering in hiS behilf, the punishment was commuted, and Mimeo 'ultimately restored to the army. His position was peculiar.. Original ly a private soldier, he had risen to the rank of lieutenant solely by merit. The quarrel fixed on him' by 'Col. FA)veur was without any misdoing of his own. He was literally com -pellodto fight his own brother-in-law; because If he declined a challenge his brother-officers would send him to Coventry, and, after having twice fired into the air; he was compelled, at thist,lo the ut his adversary. The army regu lotions, as well as the laws of the land, forhade duelling, but there is an unwritten military PHILADELPHIA. _ .. - cede, which . linfairatively said, ic Challenged, -left; httmdri , igii t fuilnbasof, his-enjoy:ll4l6c had or insulted, yeti Must 'fight, or you eland be- trust that hsfiasborne from IllanilWas-fitiortible:" fore the army a disgraced man." • -:. • 114riiiiierdi . ;,SirAkiiiii. 4 ..,17sfy ukeipsitedly tb WO have Mentioned that - the law' of the Lilo 60114,1E14,43.1i1,4:-.01/9.9ldj'ef,llii POrtsmbuthl or: land forbade and Sometimes pnnishcd duel- tlieB. . ti i t itir r s o t le./Ai . v , t r d hli lor ne -tlia t t i ship to 4turn to she gci e t t!.pd i er ling.

One of Dr. Ton:Notes plaiitudes, started for the sake'of argument, was that a private war between individuals Was as Justifiable as, a pub lic war between nations, and that he could not see that fighting was absolutely forbidden by Scripture, which prohibited revenge, but not, self-defence. Duelling, it cannot be denied, is inconsistent with the spirit of the Gospel. Yet, from the prevalent notions of honor, - a gentleman (and more eSpecially an officer) who, receives ' a challenge, is reduced to a dreadful alternative. Let us conclude with an illustrative anec dote. In September, 1783, a duel took place between Colonel Conte Gonnox and Colonel Timms of the Guards. The night before the' contebt, in which ho was felled, Col. TimmAs made his will, which contained the following most alrecting clause : ,« In the first place,,l commit my. aoulito Almighty God, fl inlo cos of ltitilmoiviestqf44.l6ii; 011.1Mirgb,t1g,)trks atep I 4low,[M, compliance with tmwumig hl ens -toms.of this Wicked ymrldlcput'involf under lite fidethisltY 011ittng:" , ~ '. : ', ',` i -:` l''' Intik esting Letter fOor ' roapoiciOae s o', i The Prel , 46,1 ,t_ ,• :t: • „- • , : - U.S. Sam SAN .Iseliczo, e • - - . - : Stritrarrifn, April 4, 1.8513:•," . • The Mail is aboni - te ihostri, and tsetid, -- you'a US:" tied Ilno. • Since Ilast wrote the command of the United Statue naval forges .has been assumed by Commodore Josiah Tattiarl;-whose flag wee, hoisted on the ship the :Halsor S - anuary„uhder the:usual :nalutes from 'the Minneeote; the Missispiii,And Portsmouth, and by ships of, the 'ngtislt, French, - and Dutoistquarliona.•, .s --; • . —, I , - ' ,In;al'en , daysafter reeeiVirig 'CoelthodereTatt-: milted boatd4Wo gal under weigh ter Manilla, the `aaPitatef,the Philippine Islands, to whichi plum We had-a plensantrun, and Made aMent'agvilatallw visit.

At Manilla we had the pleasure of, mooting three of our fair countrywomen, the wives of gentlemen occupying the highest Reis] and official positions-,Madarne 13., the wife of the French - Minister to China; 'the wife of S oneral poseirn, the Lieutenant-Governor, and Madame Caliano, wife of the Regento, or the Supreme Judge of the Colonies. Madame B. was formerly Miss McLeod, of New York, and is a niece of Madame Calderon de la Berea, for teeny years a highly Oats:lamed resident of 'Washington, whore Belies Otslderon was Spanish Minister. Madame B. is a lady of great accomplishments, speaking the Prenoh, Spanish, Italian, and Ger man, as her native tongue, • I would have ad mired her much, but for her fondness for cigars— to me it Seemed deoltiodly unfeminine to soda lady accompany gentlemen, frion the- dining to the smoking room, put a cigar in her mouth, and puff away with all possible gusto. Madame Pessira was born in Philadelphia ; her mother Was a Miss MtKean, who married tho Marquis Sorigo, a Span. , ish nobleman, Whose son or grandson is the present Duke of Soto Mayor.' Though brought up in SpainsMadame P. preserves a• strong attachmiint for the early home of herself and mother. Ma. dame G. was' formerly Miss S., of Philadelphia Some of our OMOBLEI had met her a few years sines in•Ouba, whore her husband occupied the came high judicial position ho does now in tho Philip. pines; the reunion in this far-off part of the world wait most agreeable. Sho is a bright, lovely lady, and those who had the pleasure of knowing will not soon forgot her. Immediately after our arrival, wo were invited to' a. ball at the Casino; the last of the season be fore the commencement of Lent. As so long a time was to elapse before the Spanish ladies and gentlemen, according to the rules of their Church, could indulge in their favorite amusement, the at tendance was full. The whole affair was brilliant —the music dolightful, the &motts superb. Whe ther walking or dancing, the movements of a Spa nish lady aro inimitable—the poetry of motion. One of the favorite anursoments of the inhabitants of Manilla is dining in the evening on the Colgada, which is a beautiful avenue, pluntod with trees. extending touted the city walls, about two miles and a half in length. Every evening, this is filled with the elegant equipages of the beauty and, fashion of the city. Thesearrittges pass up ono side and down the other. They are all open, with falling tops. The ladies are all without bun nets, and it is a pleasant scene, in passing - and re passing, to witness the bowing and recognition of friends, and it may bo that, to the initiated, there may bo recognitions of a tender sentiment. It is said that the dark-eyed daughters of Spain have a language of sentiment peculiar to themselves, end that, in the twirl of their fan, the graceful folding or putting aside their mantillas, they can toll a tale of ldvo more eloquent than their 'sisters of other lands. Whatever may be said of Many Of the eustorna of countries purely Catholic, there are some I always admire, and es pecially those in which the entire population out wardly exhibit their sense of their obligations anti duties to their Maker. When the bell is trilled for evening prayer, it is interesting to notice how suddenly everything is stilled : all is hushed, not a sound is heard; thertuorehant lays down his pen, the artisan ceases from labor, tho pedestrian stops in the street, uncovers himself, =trek the sign of the Cross, repeats the "Ave Mario,'' and passes on. He may soon forgot the act, or, satis fied with its external performance, his spirit, may ho unaffected ; still, it is a, beautiful cos , tom. The Governor of the Philippine Islands is styled the Captain General; ho is an officer of the highest rank in the Spanish service ; ho exor- CiSOB regal power, and lives in almost regal style. The prorent incumbent is General Norgagany, who has treated us with very distinguished considers• Lion. I accompanied the Commodore in his °Meal ileit to tbo General; and notwithstanding rumors had preceded te, perhaps based upon a distortion of the President's message, that our relations with Spain wore unfriendly, if not.oven hostile and cri tical, our reception wee most cordial. General N. has boon in charge of the Philipplan administra tion but little over a year; be promises to bo the most popular ruler they - have ever had Years ago ho was a resident in the islands, but under far difforent circumstances. For his liberal opinions ho was driven from Spain, and passed a number of years in honorable exile among the people he is now sent to rule over. In his ease the lessons of experience have not boon lost. Although thoro is a largo Ameriaan trado at Ma nilla, tho number of American residenta aro few, but they aro of tho right stamp. Our Consul, Charles Griswold, Hsq:, the head of the rich house of Messrs. Rusm A: Sturgis, did everything in his polar to contribute to our enjoyment; tho hospi tality of his houSehold Is princely.

Tice only, test he would apply was allegiance to the Democratic Tarty an represented by those it had elected to office. Tho Presidont of the United States he considered the ruler, and not the ser vant of the people. Democracy should teach the Democrat to govern when required to govern, and to obey when asked to obey. The policy of the Democratic party vos expediency, and not the realisation of abstraotions and lofty theories. lie rebuked the authority of the " Vox populi," the Ciovernment of this Republic being one of "law and order," and not of "popular impulso," As to the Democratic opponents of the Administra tion in the Lecotupton controversy, he was in for the most radical measures. lie wanted them " politically hung, and historically dissected." sinking at the same time u slight allusion to his being willing ,to eerie as "hangman and sur geon."

Notwithstanding their exortions to do the utmost, they were not able to swell the number of coon ties represented to more than forty-six. This foot st ,„) { , vo l ume s, and abundantly proven the fidelity of the Doincoracy orlllinois to truly Democratic! principles. The committee on credentials having reported, the oommittea on resolutions wore called to re port. The result of their delibeiation was pro claimed by Colonel Carpenter, of Chicago. It was a series of, resolves in, which a vindication of the President's Kansas policy was Extollingly at tempted. The gist of' the thing, :mil of the Con vention generally, however, was the denunciation of Stephen A. Douglas. His Manly vindication of truth was called " overwooning conceit;" his re minding " the powers that be of former proud -BCR, vehement and arrogant denunciation ;" his course generally, "unjustifiable and ruinous to the Democratic party." This remarkable job was, of course, unanimous ly approved of, and the Convention now proceeded to making nomination business, Itt the discharge of this, us well as the other business of the Con vention, it booamo apparent that everything hail been pre-arranged. Opposition was not expected nor to ho allowed. The Cook county delegation led the van in ovorything, and from their ordain moots there wan no appeal. The few restive indi viduals were 'readily crushed, with the exception of an Irish delegate from Cook county, who had the courage and independence to piddle - 1y de nounce the absolutism of Isaac Cook, Leib, Car penter, di Co. Yet ho was but an Irishman, and hence his counsel wile not heeded. On motion of Dr. Hops, from Alton, John Dough erty, of Union county, the most noisy prophet of the Locumpton heresy in Illinois, was by acclama tion nominated at a candidate of the " National Democracy" for State treasurer. John Reynolds, of St. Chur Mutely, woo proposed and accepted as a candidate for State superintendent of public in struction. The latter nerronage, commonly known by the sobriquet "Old Ranger," is certainly is man of publicity. This "publicity," 'however, is not to be ascribed to a favorable inclination of public opinion towards hint, but .to his persistency in urging himself upon the "public" on nil and every occasion.

Cannon still stood pointed down the thorough. fares, and loaded arms were mattered around the premises lately occupied ; but some of the com mittee had. gone to the United States barracks, some to the neighborhood of Algiers, while others had quietly retired to their homes, ready to re• sumo their daily avocations," and, forgetting the past; to unite again with their fellow•citizons in public or private measures for the common good. Yesterday, in the morning, thousands were led by curiosity to visit the deserted camp, and every thing that there met the eye silently taught a striking lesson—to avoid a breach of the law even that good may come. The pavement was in many places dappled with gore ; the carpet of the Sixth District Court room was saturated. with human blood, and offensive with the effluvia of putrefne lion ; the lockup, the courts of the building, the halls, and the small private rooms, wore filled with filth. A thorough cleansing was necessary before they could be occupied, and a largo forms of Meeks was at. work with brooms and scrubbing brushes. The coroner informs us that since the Arsenal was first occupied, he has held eleven inquests upon those slain within the entrenchments, be. longing to the party of the Vigilants. The public are already aware that -a considerable number have boon wounded. On tho second day after the armed occupation of the sixth district court, Judge Howell obtained an order for the delivery of the records of thisvourt to the officers for safo-keeping. The clerk and deputy clerks wore permitted to .enter and pre. pare them for removal, but, whim they returned with mon to take them away, they were refused admittance, and the papers for several days lay loose in the clerk's room, which` was open the 'whole time; and was left opon-on the departure of the Vigilante on Monday night. A portion of the records of twelve suits aro found partially burned. The oflioors wore yesterday engaged in examining and arranging tho papers, but as yet have do• tooted no other loss or dainago. The officers of the Legion assembled at an *sally hour in the morning to gather up the State arms, and restore them to the arsenal. Wo understood, that en learning their condition, the officer whose duty it was to receive them, stated he should de cline to do so. - Tho result of the examination by the Major General, and other °Moors we have not learned, but the arms wore all collected in a place of safety. The street commissioner took the sixty bale; of cotton usod for barricades, and Moved the lot in the public pound. We learn that writs of attach ment wore issued in the course of the day against it by the clerk of tho Sixth District Court, to bold it as satisfaction for damages to public and private property. With the exception of the broken pavement, the place has now recovered its usual appearance', tho routine of public duty is again regularly pni sued, and , citizens • begin to marvel that Buell step as we have recorded should have been taken. Affidavits have boon made against the loading men connected with this movement, and warrants, we believe, have been issued for their arrest. The list of parties said to be known as active at the arsenal is large, but we aro informed that no at tempt will bo made to bring before the public tri bunals any man who did not stand in tho attitude of n leader of military squads, or a leader by con nection with the secret council of the Vigilante.
