MR G. J. ROBINSON has been instructed to SELL, in the beginning of May, the GROUND-RENTS, amounting to about annum, issuing out of seven superior country residences in All Farthing-lane near St Anne's Church, Wandsworth. The security i s most ample, both as to the nature of the property and the value of the erections upon it, the gross annual rents being about 6001. This species of property is admitted to be the best and most desirable of all modes of investment; no circumstances can reduce the income at present received. while it is certain that, at the expiration of the leases, an immensely increased revenue must be obtained. The ground-rents of each house will be sold in separate lots for the convenience of the tenants.—Printed particulars will be ready for delivery three weeks previous to the sale, and may be had of Messrs. Cardsle, Cardsle, and Dille, solicitors, 2, Bedfordrow; 'and at the offices, 11, Hart-street, Bloomsbury-square.

We publish another letter from Fusbos, on the subject of Duelling. Our well-informed correspondent admits the difficulty of an adequate substitute in certain cases; but proposes Courts of Honour for the settlement of all disputes amongst officers of the Army and Navy. The suggestion deserves the attention of the authorities. As matters now stand, nothing can be more unsatisfactory. By the Articles of War, an officer must be cashiered, if proved before a Court-Martial to have been engaged in a duel; and most certainly, in nine cases out of ten, an officer would lose his commission and his character if be failed personally to resent an insult; or, in the phraseology of celebrated Court-Martials, neglected to demand "honourable adjustment a dispute. In the instance of a duel, however, he stands chance of being reinstated; but in the other case he becomes through life a marked and degraded character. Many proofs could be adduced of this fact; but two or three may suffice. General Burton was cashiered for fighting a duel, afterwards pardoned. Lieutenant Ellis, Regiment, was cashiered for being a second in a duel, and On Lieut.-Colonel Abernethie of the Royal Marines.

Lately reinstated. Ensign Slater, 60th Regiment, for fighting a duel, and Lieutenant Lupton, 60th Regiment, were both cashiered and reinstated. The duel between the Duke of York and the Duke of Richmond, both officers of the Army, is well known; but yet His Royal in reference to duel, warned officers ss of the fatal consequences of allowing themselves to be misled by erroneous notions and false principles of honour, which, when rightly understood, and leading to its legitimate object, is the brightest gem in the character of soldier." Without depreciating this very salutary warning, we may express our regret that His Royal Highness, who was fully sensible of the defect in our Military system, did not institute a Court of Honour, or some other satisfactory remedy.

the Editor of the Naval and Military Gazette. Sir, — I have already pointed out one case where an appeal to personal satisfaction acts as a preventive to the circulation of calumny, and perhaps it will be difficult even with a modification of the present law to afford an adequate substitute. 1 shall mention one or two other instances to show how small is the satisfaction afforded by an appeal to the tribunals. In the case of a person giving the lie direct, it is only a simple contradiction, but if attended with insulting or menacing gesture, provoking to a breach of the peace, the parties are bound over, but no Sunishment is inflicted on the offender; if a person fillip alf a glass of wine in your face, he may be possibly fined ten shillings for a common assault, unless the sufferer should have his waistcoat or cravat damaged, and brings in a charge to that effect, then it becomes a trespass on property, and is punished accordingly. Connected with this view of the case, I may allude to the damage inflicted on the dress throwing anything on it that may stain or damage it, such as vitriolic acid, — if mistake not, it was once a capital offence, and now subjects a man to transportation; but no punishment follows pointing the finger at person, and bolding him up to the scorn of the world as a liar and coward I There are many similar cases too familiar to every one to require recapitulation. I have already alluded to the outcry that is occasionally raised on the subject of duelling, particularly when it can serve a party purpose, and by certain persons (who have most likely a reverend care for their own persons) it is held up a savage defiance of the laws and a wanton outrage on society; if a death should ensue, there is no end to the declamation on the barbarity of the practice — such an event may occur once in the course of seven or eight years.

Let us consider something by way of contrast: had Louis-Philippe gratified the vanity and pride of M. Thiers, all Europe would have been involved in a war, and at the end of the first year there might be, as the soldiers express it, eight or ten thousand wigs on the green," with proportionate number of widows, orphans, &c., and no living soul could have told what people had been fighting about all that time: but then all this was glorious work, despatches were filled, Te Denms sung, honours awarded, and the thanks of both houses bestowed on the most distinguished of the men-slayers — all this, independent of loans, taxes, &c. One man, as already stated, may fall in a duel in the course of seven years, and this person possibly may have no relative to lament his loss; — he went out with his adversary on perfectly equal terms, and with a full knowledge of the chances he ran, but yet this is constructed into a case of felony ! There can be little doubt, however, that, notwithstanding what I have mentioned as palliatives, duelling is a practice in itself unjust so far, as it puts the offender and the offenrfee on the same level, and justice is here often blindfold, or rather it is a matter of chance; any suggestion, therefore, that can be offered to obviate this doubtful appeal to arras, may be looked on at least with an indulgent eye.

With respect to the Army; it is in the competence of every Commanding-officer to summon a Court of Inquiry in his regiment, and I believe the same power exists in the Navy; if not it might easily be conceded. Would it not then be an easy matter, by an order from head quarters, to bring all private quarrels at once before this tribunal of honour, and let them settle it ? A few cases arise from misunderstanding, but in general one person is in fault; let the Court of Inquiry find out the offender, and cause him to make the amende publicly, where the language did not go beyond those expressions which are called slightly offensive; in other cases, where either the conduct or language was such as at present requires the parties to go into the field, let the offender be removed from the Service, as no longer worthy to associate with gentlemen. Officers of different corps or ships quarrelling, a joint Court could decide on the merits of the case. While this practice was in course of trial, make all those who choose to settle their quarrels themselves be tried by Court-martial for breach of the specific Article of War against duelling.

THE NAVAL AND MILITARY GAZETTE I have thrown out this hint as a sort of basis for formation of courts of honour, confident that if such a mode of settling quarrels could take root in the Navy and Array, the example would be followed in civil life. The great difficulty to such an arrangement might possibly be found amongst the lawyers, who would never look with favourable eye on the settlement of disputes by arbitration. Something, however, of this nature must be effected, or the laws themselves must be brought to meet the offences against feelings, or the present practice will continue. People, however, will he more cautious; they will not go to skirmish among the donkeys of Wandsworth Common, and if they see the ghost of the dusty miller, with a blue truncheon in its hand, they will adjourn to some uncommon common, or find a place of more aecrecy. Bedford, 2iSth March, 1841. Fusnos.

Since our remarks and the above letter were in type, we have received Dr. Millingen's new work "The History of Duelling," and including narratives of the most remarkable personal encounters that have taken place from the earliest period in different countries. The volumes are replete with curious details, and their appearance admirably timed. Certainly a more "eventful" publication never issued from the press,

Sun (London) — Wednesday 22 September 1841 … Strange it seems to see so ruddy and brightcoloured an existence vanish into darkness, forcing us to speculate in fear, how "Yorick" should come to so " sorry a complexion." Mr. Thomas Dibdin, the true Yorick of his day, died on Thursday, the 16th, at his house in Myddleton-place, Pentonville, at the age of 70. He was born on the 21st of March, 1771, in Museum-street, omsbury-square. His father was the celebrated Charles Dibdin, the naval song-writer, and his godfather was the illustrious David Garrick, who, on the occasion of the christening, sent a hamper of wine. In the year 1775, being then only four years of age, he was led on the stage before the audience at Drury-lane, by Mrs. Siddons, in the cha racter of Cupid, in Shakspeare's pageant of the " Jubilee:" his mother was daughter of Mrs. Pitt, who for nearly fifty years was a highly respectable actress at Covent-garden. At eight years of age he was, for the sake of musical tuition, placed in the choir of St. Paul's Cathedral, and in the family of Mr. Hudson, where lie was taught to sulfa and feed the blackbirds of that gentleman's pretty daughter. Here having been taught the gamut and good behaviour, he asked his mother's leave to go to a " real school," and improved for the next twelvemonth under Mr. Tempest, of Half-farthing-lane Academy, Wandsworth, where he was taught to speak bad French at dinner-time. Thence he was removed to the tuition of Mr. Galland, a Cumberland schoolmaster in the north Of England, by whom he was classics / Hy instructed for three years. After this he was apprenticed to the present Sir William, then Mr. Rawlins, to learn the trade of an upholsterer; and, after his engagement at Covent-garden, he purchased many articles of furniture at the very warehouses he had served in. While in this serviture, however, his chief delight in the upholstery line was to decorate a smart little theatre of his own. Mis next attempt was at private theatricals; and having read before Mr. Booth, a proprietor of the Margate Theatre, the character of Marcus in Cato, the former was so much pleased as to advise him to get shaved, put his hair in training, and gave him a letter introduci … >>https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0002194/18410922/007/0001

SUICIDE UPON WANDSWORTH COMMON

Yesterday morning an inquest was held at the workhouse of the Wandsworth Union, before Mr. Carter, upon the body of William Baker, aged 47, who hanged himself upon Wandsworth common, on Sunday last.

Mr. Millis Coventry, corn merchant, living in Battersea, and a gentleman of the Quaker persuasion, affirmed that about a quarter before two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, he was walking with his family in the pathway leading from the railway-station on Wandsworth-common to Tooting, when his attention was attracted to a man sitting, as he thought, on the road side, and leaning with his back against the rail. Upon coming nearer he perceived that he had rope round his neck, which was tied to the rail.

Witness ran up and severed the rope, and another gentleman who witnessed the occurrence, opened a vein the deceased's arm, but no blood flowed, and, indeed, the deceased appeared to have been dead for some hours. Witness certainly felt surprised the manner of the deceased's death, the rail was not four feet from the ground, and he must have drawn his lower extremities upwards, and forcibly retained them that position until strangulation took place.

Mr. M'Gee, printer, living in Providence-place, Lambeth, said deceased lived within a few doors from him, and for the last eighteen months he had known him intimately. He was carpenter, and married, and had six young children. He believed his circumstances latterly had not be so good as they had been, and the deceased in consequence became reserved and gloomy.

The Jury unanimously returned a verdict that the deceased destroyed himself whilst in a state of temporary insanity, arising from distress.
