"I SAW HIM IN HIS PRIDE." TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, —As I stood amongat a crowd of lo9kers» ■ n at the door of the Morning Star on Wednesday evening, I heard the belligerent Brett affirm that he had punished Mr. Walker -with two black eyes, &c, kc. I greatly feared that gentleman had suffered semi-annihilation at the hands of the irate amphibious reporter in fair fight. Imagine my surprise when I saw Mr. Walker shortly without the appearance of even a scratch. When I read the bombastical accounts furnished to the journals of yesterday, in which no mention whateyer was made of the clerk and dozen ragged runner boya called by thtf amphibious to his assistance, I was not surprised, knowing who furnished the supposed facts. I do not think Mr. Walker's attempted mode of chastisement was a wise one, but presume that, having surveyed the establishment of tho scurrilous journal, in which the only evidences of substantiality are a dilapidated chair, a broken candleitick, and several! doubtful-looking bottles, ho Baw no other hope of redress. —l am, &c, Not a Kollickjek.
