Mar- Waison Webb, of the New York Courier and Enquirer, came off Saturday morning about daylight, at Naaman’s creek, near the Pennsylvania and Deélawere State lines, about three miles from Marcus Hook, in presence of several gentlemen from this city and a number of laborers sn the vicinity. Dr. Carr, of Baltimore, was the secund of Mr, Marshall, and Mr. Morrell, of Missouri, the second ef Mr. Webb. After arranging’ ‘the preliminaries, the choice of the ground, and the order.to fire, being won by the second of Mr. Webb, the parties proceeded to the spot selected, both ofthe principals manifesting the greatest coolness and de- cision. They fought with ‘pistols at the distance of ten paces, and exchanged two shots. he first fire took no eltect, the balls striking the ground a short distance from ‘eet of the principals. On the second fire Mr. Webb w tin the back part of the left Just below the knee joint, and fell, his fire taking no effect on his oppo- nent. He was caught as he was falling by the second of Mr. Marshall and conveyed from th e of conflict, and urived at the U. 8. Hotel in Philadelphia, about 9 o'clock Saturday morning. We learn from a gentleman who witnessed the aflair that the parties had arranged to meet Friday afternoon, but that in consequence of an excite- ment among th zens of Wilmington, it was deferred, the partiea remaining in the vicinity, all night, Col. Webb and his friends in his carriage, neer the ground, and Mr, Marshall and friends putting up at a hotel at Marcus Hook, and by arrangement proceeded to the ground before daylight Saturday morning. There was no intercourse between the prineipals either before or after the duel, and matter of course no reconciliation took place between, . Mr. Marshall manifested much feeling for feeding tat the grudge he bore his antagonist ; yet throughout the whole efluir he demeaned himself with magnanimity, coolness andcourage. After Webb had fallen and it was ascertained that he was only wounded in the Marshall expressed a determination thata third fi ake place, This was protested against by Webb's sur- geon, und upon further consideration and advisement on ‘he part of Mr. Marshall and his friends the latter ex- pressed himself satisfied, and seemed to regret that he had demanded a further shot. Mr. Marshall's brother was near the ground, and after learning the re- sult, said he “thanked God. that it had nota more serious termination.” From all that we can learn, the duel was fought according to the “ code ofkonor,” the parties hay. ing agreed upom the terms of conflict, wiich were read aloud before the pistols were handed to them by these oads, and which were mutually assented to in the pre- sence of the company, and when asked by the seconds whether they were ready, both seid in audible terme, aro ready.” The wount inflicted upon Webb's left leg, is the result of the position in which he stood; the left eg being thrown forward, he standing with his side ex. posed to the fire of his antagoni: Mr. Marshall left the ground wi seeded to.

A Dvet.—A duel was tought this morning at 4} o'clock, in the State of Delaware, two miles below Mareus Hook, between Col. James Watson Webb, of New York, and the Hon. Thomas F, Marshall, member of Congress from’Ken- wucky; Mr. M. being thechallenger. The challenge was given and aceepted yesterday at2P. M.in Wilmington, to h place Col. W. had repaired for the purpose of re. § any communication which Mr. DM. might desire to make. Two shots were exchanged, the, first without fect. The second fire Col. W. received his anté ists pall through the muscular part of his left leg, just below che knee. Both shots were exchanged, as we learn from # gentleman who was on the ground, the word fire, and before the word one. W1 unusual in this part of he country, the meeting was witnessed by forty or fifty spectators from the immediate vicinity. Process on the part ofthe State of Delaware was issued against Col. W., which he avoided by remaining in the open fields till 12 0° ¢ ight, and then concealing himself in a carriage took place. Teeny after the meeting, and party repaired to Wilmington, and Col. Webb to this city, to which place he was brought by his ‘rtend Josiah Randall, Esq., who with several other gen- lemen, friends of Col. W., from Philadelphia, went down » be present at the meeting. Mr. Marshail wes attended » De. Carr, of Baltimore, as his second, and Dr. Gibson o! »# same place, as his surgeon. Col. Webb was attended by ‘jer Morrell of Missouri and Dr. Tucker formerly of Vir- enim, now of this city, as surgeon. The evening preceding he fight the affair unfortunately got wind, and a large camber of persons collected for ‘tht purpose of seeing the stair, but they were fortunately dispersed by a ru: swerve of Col. Webb, who took a boat from {ook, with the apparent intention of going to New Jer- ey, instead of doing which he went two miles dowa the civer, and then returned to his friends, whom he joineda’ 12 o’clock at night. We anderstand from an authentic source, that Colone) Webb went to the field with the fixed pu vhat — to himself, that he would not Rit } navital part. Both parties, we learn, behaved on the ground with great coolness. Avornen Accourt.—T F. Marshall of Kentu duel between the hon. Thos. and Col Webb of the New York ourier, took pl atnrday morniue soon after four Yclock, on the State Line between Delaware and Penn- sylvania, not far fcom the villoge of Newport. On the first fire Mr. Marshail’s pistol went off before he kad raised it, and Mr, Webb's pistol exploded almost at the same aoment, dovh balls striking the ground. At tho second ire, Mr. Marshall's hall strack Col. Webb in the leg, en- ering and passing out immediately behind the knee, xe- vering no artery. Col.
