Miscellaneous. *~~ A CHALLENGE. . To the Editor of the Thames Advertiser, SIR, —Allow me to reply to Mr, W, J. Bari/W's effusion. lam willing to pay ray share of the Hire of the Academy of Music for the " Assault of Arms" he preteuda to desire, so that his little differences may be settle;), as ho boasts. The Public to be Admitted, and money taken to be given to the Ladies' Benevolent Society. I trust-bo will not "Right-about-turn" in this affair also, especially as he asserts he is one of the " Death or Glory Boys" i.e., 17th Lancers, therefore excellent with " weapons," ! and a Royal Engineer and Professional Gymnast, therefore superior at the Stick and Gloves business. "O, for the lovo of laughter, let him fetch hisdrum; ha says he has a stratagem for it." And remember the words of his pattern:—" Who knows himself A braggart; let him fear this, for it will come to pass that every braggart shall be found an ass -'Rust sword! cool blushes! and, Parollea live." , GEO. DENBY., To tlio Editor of tho THAMES ADVERTISER. SIB,— The tenor of the last sentence in Mr Barloiy's previous letter and the first jentenee in the present one is, "Please, Mr Editor, have pity on me; this is a personal controversy, why don't you close it ?" How considerate, and how amusingly cool this is, when we consider this correspondence has ft-isen solely because Mr Barlow has continually been making newspaper columns the medium of personal attack, and these letters are intended aB a protest against such conduct; but, however, I am quite agreeable that this letter should close tho correspondence; but I shall claim the right to reply should any more covert attacks be made or untruths published about either myself or company. In reply to Mr Barlow's letter— [jis apsumed levity is out of place, and will not blind tho public as to his real character. I lsve distinctly prqved, by his own words, tint what he has stated about the sepond captaincy is false, let him try to distort the meaning as he may, That he was unable to decently drill an awkward squad prior to bis arrival on the Thames ig well known to a number of our present Residents, and, for that matter, he is b«t an indilfoFCijt l)? r ud at it now,' as any qualified person see judge. With regard to Mr Barlow's bungles, iill the adjutants of .the Imperial servics could not have pre: vented Mr Barlow from committing them, excepting by removing him and placing some one more competent in his place. Mr Barlow Bays, " The doubtful honor'of being a subaltern under Captain Small I felt no regret at resign* iu(f, more than, as he truthfully says, the onep.jjlef] frif.udship by which Captain Small, I bffidty assept, fiow )?oli]o hjc eminent position." florc' is 'aptlipr glaring untruth, \fheii I stood for the position of captain I already belt) the rank of Ist lieutenant, and was unopposed in my candidature for the captaincy; bl}t toy jiynkr-stD'i friend canvassed. me at t])u same time, 48 & Bjjjondwy COitsi'lerafion, of course (?) requested votes for himself 'for tho Ist lieutenantcy,. which would be vaoated by my promotion, and through this means he succeeded in .obtaining, it, • Now he has the impudence to turn round and aav be madp me wljat I am, Can it be possible that Itfr Barlow forgots the po:-ujon he was in when he arrived at the Thames, and who befriended him then, and caused others to help 'him. However, this is no subject for your journal. I will not trouble you ag'iiu on this subject, utiles Mr W. J. B. agiiu stira up the mud, when I will give a 111112)1 fnllor history of him than liithcrti). , r J. STOBM.ONT SMALL fl 0 T I O E. t N Consequence o£ Winding-up the affairs of { the C'nil of W.
