(From the Bicxmond Whig, August 16.] The chivalry, as well as non-combatants, for the first time tor many aday, were thrown into an excitement thiémorning by aramor thata Hostile meeting hat Lenses tyre between John M. Daniel, Esq., of the Richmond Ezaminer, and E. ©. Eimore.| Confederate States Treasur- er. The current report is that the meeting took place at half-past five-o’clock this morning,on Diil’s farm, two mites north of thecity, Mr. H. Rives Pollard, of the Examiner, acted as the friend of Mr. Daniel, and Lieutenant Thomas Taylor, of Sonth Carolina, as the friend of Mr. Elmore. -The weapons used, it is said, were the ordinary smooth-bore duelling Pistols; the distance ten paces. Onlytwoshots were exchanyzed, Mr. Daniel being wounded at the second fire in the flesh part of the right leg, a few inches above the ankle. His wound, though not dangerous, is said to be very pain- ful Tie affair grew out of a paragraph which appeared in the local column of the Ezraminer on the Ist instant, headed “Alleged Defalcation in the Treasury Department—Astonishing Developments.” The p: ph announced that the arrest of Detective F. W. Boyd,on thecharge of at- tempting to bribe Detective R. B. Craddock «inte silence in respect to certain facts concern- ing a high official” of the Treasury Depart- ment, had resnited in bringing to its develop- ment “a defalcation in the Treasury, said to be of a yery large amount.” Craddock reported to higher euthority, and was instructed to ask ten thousand dollars for the suppression of the’ fact that he hadseen the “high Capers plans Government funds away at faro, andthe gam- blers “beating him” out of immense sums.” Itis stated on the street that Mr. Elmore addressed a note to Mr. Daniel, representing that public rumor unjustly pointed to himas the “high official” alluded to, and requesting he insertion of @ paragraphin the Ezaminer disclaiming any ailusion to the Treasurer. Mr. Daniel. report says, declined to insert the dis- ciaimer, and further correspondence resulted in a chalignge from Mr. Elmore, which was accepted. The Prize Ri J@E COBUBN’S MATCH WITH JEM MADE. (¥rom Bell’s Life in London, August 6.] Joe Coburn ard Jem Mace completed a fur- ther stake of £50 aside on Tuesday evening, Angust2, et. Harry Brunton’s, ge and Dra- gon, Beech.street, Barbican. Thehouse for the next deposit is not yet determined on. Joe Coburn has been received with much ap- plause by tae Liverpool sporting world a the American. Opera House, where he has dis- played his abilities with the gloves in a most setisfactory manner. With Joe Goss and Bill Ryall he has proved himself swift and steady, and to some ple’s notions has had all the best of it. ith Jack Rooke, too, he has sur- prised even his own admirers. Rooke’s con- staut practice with the gloves, however, stood him a good stead,and he was able foralongtime to stall off the determined attacks of our Ameri- ean hero, but the bouts generally ended in Rooke being driven behind thescenes. Coburn hb as also exhibited with Sam Hurst (the Staley- bridge Infant), but of course the latter, how- ever powerful, cannot in any way be regarded as a trial horse, as between the respective mer- of Coburn and Mace. Each night of Joe’s ap- pearance the house has been crowded, and we are bound to say, so far as can be judged by his performances, there is every reason to believe his backers were peated in bringing him for- ward. He and the quartette with whom he sparred were to take a joint benefit last nightat Liverpool Mace still remains in private, taking plenty of exercise. THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Sy The London journals of August 10th con- tam very lengthy reports of the theatrical scan- dal case, tried at the Bow street police office, in which Mr. Henry Bateman, of the Garrick Clnb, father of Muss Bateman, the actress, ap- peared to answer a summons charging him ‘with having assaulted Mrs. Augusta Bristow, box bookkeeper of the Theater Royal Adelphi, by striking and kicking her, in the Strand, on the night of the Istinst. Mrs. Bristow alleged that Mr. Bateman, a friend of her family, had endeavored to form @ more intimate acquaint- ance with her daughter Georgiana than the rules of strict propriety permitted. On one occasion Mrs. Bristow watched Mr. Bateman and her daughter in the strand. They hurried on to the cab-rack, and he spoke hastily to the cabman. The steps of acab were let down, and her daughter was handed intoacab by the defendant. « He was about to follow her,” she added, “ when I sprang to the spot and seized my girl by the arm, and endeavored to prevent his following her. He turned round, andI said to him, + You wretch! you have taken my daughter.’ He instantly gave mea blow upon the shoulder and kicked me upon the leg, exclaiming, ‘You damned woman.’ I took my daughter out of the cab and conducted her to her home. She absconded from her home the next morning.” This statement was positively denied by the defendant. The mag- istrate decided that as the evidence was con- flicting the case must be tried by a jury. Mr. Bateman was held in bail. ScaLps anp Brens.—The best, most instan- taneous and most accessible remedy in the world is, to thrust the injured part into cold water, send for a physician, and while he is comimg cover the part an inch or more deep with common flour. The water gives instanta- neous relief by excluding the oxygen of the air, the flour does the same thing, but is preferable, because it can be kept more continuously ap- plied, with less inconvenience than by keeping the parts ander water. As they get well the flour scales off, or is easily moistened and re- moved.
