Yesterday evenight a point of honor was terminated at Dublin by a melancholy issue, between Dr. Harding and Mr. Beamish, two Irish gentlemen, and lately both Students of Physic at the University of Edinburgh. Mr. Beamish was unfortunately shot through the body, and died about three o'clock. The dispute in which this unfortunate quarrel was grounded, occurred at Edinburgh, on the 4th of June last, when Dr. Harding, the party who received the offence, being then about to take out his degrees, did not, from prudential motives, demand satisfaction— his journey to Ireland is said to have been principally excited with a view to this purpose. The unfortunate Mr. Beamish received a mortal wound in the body, from the first fire of his antagonist, and fell without discharging his pistol. Dr. Harding and his second hurried immediately off the ground, and are supposed to have sailed for England. The coach which bore them to the place carried back the expired Mr. Beamish, with his friend.
