Quartermaster Tarleton followed him to his room- and endeavoured th prevent him leaving his apart. ment with a drawn sword in his hand, when Lieu- tenant Kirwan, who was much intoxicated at the time, and had, during some wrestling which took place after dinner, been thrown twice with great violence on his head, shut the door, and, painting to another sword which was hanging up in the root, told him, Mr Tarleton, to defend himself; but before, the unfortunate mãn could do so he tur ceived a most dangerous wound in the abdomen from the Lieutenant's sword, under which he is now suffering. Quartermaster Tarleton is a mar ried man, and has a family of three children. His father was quartermaster in the 18th Le Drgs, for many years..
