A1R. PRENTICE AND R1R. TRoTTER.-- The reneontre between Mr. Trotter and 1ir. Prentice on Friday last-of which we took brief notice on Saturday, has ocea- stoned greater excitement than any occur renee of a similar character, that has ever transpred in this community. The sub ject was brought before the Grand Jury on Saturday, and 1t will lconsequently be q mat ter of future investigation. We understand that the facts as detailed before the Jury, place Mir. Trotter's conduct Ill very un- favorable light. From the testimony of those who had the best opportunity of wit messing the transaction, 1t appears, that Mir. Erofter and several ot tIis friends were standing on the pavement on Market street, near the Post Office, when Mr. Prentice and another gentleman passed them, that they had advanced but few steps when Mfr. Trotter called to Mir. Prentice to de- lend himself, but that, whilst 1Ir. Prentice was in the aet of turning to face his advef- sary, MT. Ifotter fred the ball grazed Mir.

 2featiee's leit side, and elaneiIie off struck barrel standing against the wall. RIr. Prentice attempted to fire, but his pistol snapped; the parties then closed, but were separated with but little additional injury 10 either. However GIr. Trotter may have eflhlie rtgsIfl rrfs | Trllrtl-r gF,trz4sb;5 friends cannot pretend 10 justify or defend. In relation to this transaction VIC have thought proper 10 say thus much, and if is as much perhaps, as we are justified ill say ing, as the whole affair will hereafter be the snhicct of judicial investigation.
