Two fighting cbaracters, well known to the patrons of the ring and the lovers of the manly art of self defence, while out sleighing on Sunday, on one of the avenues, hada difl- culty respecting their personal characters and scientific attainments, in the course of which they indulged in language which men of honor consider highly objeetion- able. Tbe dispute, it appears, originated in a bet of | $1€0, which they had made on a fight that was to have taken place last summer, between Morrissey and Hyer, at # place on the Bloomingdale road, known as the Abbey. As the injured character of each must have some re dress, it wus finally agreed to settle the difficulty by an appeal to the duello—weapons, pistols; place, Hoboken; time, 7 o'clock yssterday morning. At the appointed hour one of the parties and his second were on the ground, but the other could ‘not be seem. It was mutually agreed to take a drick, audio that agreeable way to pass the time till the arrival of the expected antagonist. Fifteen minutes past reven found them stil! alone; but they concluded to wait a little longer, in the hope that the expected parties would yet arrive. The minute haod pointed to balf-past, but in the expressive language of the ring they did not ‘‘show up.'’ Having waited the full time required by the rules, they left the ground, wditheat toe interference of the police, the cone Deri to» Nesoteese termination.

Wavy Nor Remove Casrix Wiiiam ?—Publie attention — bas beew called, from time to time, to the freestone fort on the west side of Governor's Island, known an Castle | William, and there have beeu many discussion: to the propriety of eithe: rebuilding the walls, so as to make them something like a fit defence of this great city, or else razing them to the ground, so as to afford our citizens # fair view of the bay and harbor, to which it is row the only obstruction and defacement. There is no earthly reason why this fortification—if it can be called such—should remain in its present state, In no sense can it be deemed # military defence, as a few can- non-balis would soon tear it ty pieces and make short work of ite pretensions to tiat title. ‘The material of which it is composed—{reestone—is but ill adapted for « work ¢f that kind, and it would very soon, even {f muteety built, be reduced to a heap of rubbil aides, it is considered by good judges to be an uniit place for a fort at all, as the city can be much more effectually defended at the Narrows, and should any ships of war get past there, » fort on Governor's [slaad would be of, very. little use 'im preventing the bombard- ment of the city. Then, why not remove this unsightly structure at once and thereby take away one of the greatest blots to thé magnificent harbor of our city, an’ give us an unobstructed view of Staten Island, the Nar- en thereto.
