In corroboration of this statement we present to our readers the following paragraph copied from the New York Evening Post of December the thirteenth, eighteen hundred and five, into the Annual Register for eighteen hundred and six:-- On Friday last, the well-known Leib, one of the representatives of Pennsylvania, and the leader of the Duane party, and Joseph H. Nicholson, one of the representatives of Maryland, met in the Congress lobby about one o’clock, when Leib immediately called Nicholson a liar; and, thereupon, commenced one of the best fought battles recorded in the annals of congressional pugilism. The fight continued till the sixty-fourth round, when Leib had received such blows as deterred him from again facing his man. He protracted the fight; falling after making a feeble hit. In the round which ended the fight, those who backed him advised him to resign; which he did after a combat of one hour and seventeen minutes. The combatants were both very much beaten. CHARLES THE FIFTH’S GLOVE. There are few foreign trips, for English holiday-makers, that answer better than a run into Belgium. Belgium is easily got at, and easily left. Its features are varied and not vast. You can explore its interior, inspect its circumference, and take the whole of it in, without being tired. It is a pocket kingdom. Instead of wearing your patience, as France does, when you are in a hurry to get from one end of it to the other, you can dart across it with the ease of a swallow skimming over the Isle of Wight. Moreover, Belgium is rich in matters of interest considerably beyond the proportions of its size. It gives you the idea of an originally extensive country, which has been subjected, like an ungainly truss of hay, to hydraulic pressure. For its area, it feeds a very large population. The district of St. Nicholas, near Ghent, carries five thousand two hundred and ten souls per square league--the space required, in savage life, for the maintenance of a single individual. The large towns lie so close together, that, as soon as you have done with one, by entering a railway carriage you are landed in another in two, three, four, or five quarters of an hour.
