A Personal Difficulty, between two white men residing in this city, was settled on Saturday last, by a ‘"resort to arms,"’ on Vauxhall Island, adjoining Mayo's bridge. The contest was after the pattern of that indulged in by Heenan and Sayers, and had nearly the same result, both parties receiving "severe punishment. " As to whether the conqueror was crowned with victorious laurels, or received a "pecuniary recompense" for his exertion, we are not informed.
