THEATRES. 'I , 1 1 C/ Daunt-LAKE.—The Dramatic Romance of Lia put was repeated last night, and the audience were again astonished by the extraordinary_talents of the juvenile corps enlisted in its support. Miss C. Renee's personation of Lord Flinsnap is exquisite—her play admirable. The new Pantomime is still in great favour. The House displayed a full and very fashion able audience, who testified their unqualified appro bation of the performances throughout. COVENT Gannex.--Last night the Play entitled the Point of Honour was revived. It is a translation, or adaptation, from the French, by Mr. C. KaJSILJ, and performed originally at the Haymarket Theatre. The reception which it met was of the most favour able kind : there was not only great applause, ex pressed in the usual way, which must be acknow ledged to furnish no infallible criterion ; but there was that less questionable symptom of success which is expressed by tears and agitation on the part of %hose , who, though they do net profess the office of criticism, are, after all, the supreme judges of everyfr dramatic effort : in fact, we have seldom seen a House so strongly affected. Miss O'NEILL, who ap peared for the first time in the character of Bertha, afforded an additional proof of her extraordinary ta -ler.ts: beginning with a tenderness and de#icacy which it is impossible to describe, she delighted her audience. As the distress of the drama advanced, her powers rose gradually, until at length they burst forth into the full expression of grief and despair her audience were then in teats. If we were to par ticularize her merits, we should be obliged to notice every scene in which she was concerns 4 The man ner in which she received the first intimation of Da rin!' being a deserter was most impteisive. Her partiag from him was touching to an eminent de- gree—her broken and disordered slumber, as he was nlgnit to meet his fate—her horror on awaking from the dream in which she supposed hes self supplicating' Aar mercy, and succeeding in the supplication—her shriek upon hearing the signal, as she imagined, of his death—and, above all, her frantic joy onwitriess• ing his unexpected restoration, were instances of dra matic excellence to which it is almost an abuse of language to apply the name of art. Mr. YOUNG, as the Chevalier de St. Franc, was very great. The, meeting with his son, who had just been seized as al deserter, afforded hinvflue scope, as far as the situa tion goes ; and he made the situation triumph over the language, or rather Made the language partici pate with the situation in a triurnphto which it was not entitled. Mr. C. KisikiraLs, an -Durimel, deserves the most flattering mention in the sank scene; as well as in that where the sentence is about to be put in execution. They supported each other in a manner worthy of each. Mr. Asisozr, as Vakeer, did every thing that could be done for the part, Mr. LISTON, as Steinberg, had little room for display, but he made the most of that little. The characters of the drama are few, they were distributed in the best hands, and we have little doubt that the Managers will find the benefit of the arrangement. The House displayed a very numerous and elegant audience. `• FATAL I?U2L. INQUEST ON Luarrr.N INT EDMUND BAILEY. Yesterday morning, a Jury consisting of respect able householders in Hampstead, and its neighbour hood, was impannelled at the Load of Hay, amp stead-hill, before the Coroner for Middlesex, to hold an - inquisition on the body of Lieutenant Edmund Bailey, of the 58th regiment of foot, who was shot in a duel on Monday morning near Chalk-Farm, as stated in our Police reports. The body lay at the house of Mr. Adams. Mr. W. Adanu, of England-lane, Hampstead-road, stated, that on Monday morning last, between- nine and ten o'clock, as he lay in bed, he heard the report of fire-arms. He suspected that some Gentlemen were duelling ; he leaped out of bed arid threw up his chamber window, and saw four Gentlemen in a field. (This witness continued his evidence precisely as stated in our Bow-street report of Tuesday.) Mr. Adams continued—When he arrived in the field where they were, the pistols were fired a second time, and he saw deceased turn round ; he suspected that he was wounded, and when he got up to him his (deceased's) clothes were unbuttoned, and he ap peared to be wounded on the right side, his shirt being covered with blood. Mr. Theodore O'Calla ghan was the person who fired at the deceased.— Mr. O'Callaghan fetched a coach from Hampstead to convey the deceased to his (Mrs Adam's) house. When they arrived at his house, he recommended the parties to send for a peace-officer, and resign them selves into his custody, to which they assented. While the deceased lay on a sofa he called Mr. O'Callaghan, and put out his hand to •shake hands, which was granted by O'Callaghan ; the deceased said, " I for give you, for every thing has been conducted with the greatest honour, and if you had been wounded, I know you would have acknowledged the same to wards me." Mr. O'Callaghan instantly replied, "My dear fellow, I am sure that I should, and I wish I had been wounded instead of you. I felt your first , ball about my legs, it palled through my boots and trowsers, and I wish It had taken effect." Witness saw the holes in Mr. O'Callaghan's boots. —Coroner —"How do you know that it was O'Callaghan that fired at the deceased?" Witness saw the seconds, Newbold and Phelan, after they had given the pis tols to the deceased and O'Callaghan, retire to the flank previous-to their firing the last time, Witness had just got over the gate into the field when the pistols were fired the last time. During the time the parties were at his house, Mr. O'Callaghan said that the deceased challenrd him. O'Callaghan and Bai ley said that their meeting had originated from the quarrel of other parties. Mr. O'Callaghan and the seconds informed him what was the cause of the de ceased and Mr. O'Callaghan meeting; but they beg ged him not to mention it, and he did it with great reluctance. On Saturday two Gentlemen (whose names he did not mention) quarrelled at an hotel; the present principals (O'Callaghan and Bailey) were to have been seconds, and they agreed to meet on Sunday morning. It was appointed they should meet at either the White Hart or Load of Hay public houses ; they misunderstood each other ; and Bailey, and the Gentleman for whom he had agreed to be second, went to the White Hart, whilst O'Callaghan and the other Gentleman went to the Load of Hay. Mr. O'Callaghan, finding that the parties did not meet at the time appointed, took his friend away.— Mr. Bailey was waiting with his friend at the White Hart ; and being irritated at the other party nat meeting them, he went to his hotel, where the quarrel first commenced, and placarded O'Callaghan's friend. O'Callaghan placarded Bailey's friend.—When Bai ley and O'Callaghan met at the hotel, they charged each other with purposely avoiding to meet that morning ; a challenge ensued, and they agreed to meet next morning (Monday), not at a public-house, but on the ground - where they fired. Mr. G. Neville, of England-lane, Hampstead, and - of Somerset-place, said, that about ten o'clock on Mon day morning, Mr. W. Adams, and Mr. W, Newbold called to him when he was a short distance from his house, proceeding to town, and informed him of what had happened. Ile went to Mr. Adams' house, and saw the deceased lying on a sofa. Mr. Roth), sur geon, of Hampstead, was present,. and attended the deceased. The deceased said, " I know that I can not live long." He asked if the ball had been ex tracted, and the deceased replied, " no," and said, " here it is," pointing at the time to his left side. He put his hand to the deceased's side, and felt the ball through the skin. The ball was immediately ex tracted, and the deceased called to O'Callaghan to rub his left hand, he said it was getting cold. O'Cal laghan was very much affected while rubbing his hand, and said, " I wish the ball had broke my legs, and prevented any thing further." He afterwards shook hands with the deceased, and went away with the officers ; there appeared to be no animosity be tween the parties, and they frequently Shook hands before they parted. Bailey said several times that he forgave O'Callaghan. O'Callaghan said, " I hope you and I (the deceased) will in less than a fortnight be walking together down Bond-street." The de ceased replied, " No, never, I saw the Sun rise this morning, but I shall never see it again ; I shall be in Heaven before that time 1" Mr. Rodd, surgeon, stated the nature of the wound; the ball had penetrated from the side of the navel through the bowels, which were injured in three places, in a direction towards his left side After wit . _ ;less had extracted the ball, he asked the deceased if every thing had been fair? and he said, " decidedly so.' Mr. O'Callaghan was in the room shortly be. fore his death, and appeared deeply affected. Th e i deceased asked him to hold his hand in a particular position, as it gave him ease, which he did. The de ceased during this, said to witness and to O'Callaghan, " God bless you, and I thank you for you r att ention ." Phelan, who had been Mr. Bailey's second, was in the room ; and after witness had told the deceased that if he had any thing to communicate to afriend he had better do it forthwith, witness quitted the room, and left Mr: Phelan and the deceased together. The de ceased appeared conscious of his danger; O'Calla ghan said, " Never mind, my good fellow, we shall be walking together again in a few weeks." Deceased re plied, " I shall be in Heave n b e f ore t h en ." Wi tness said, no men could behave more kindly than all of them did to the deceased. They went away to exe cute some kind offices Air the deceased, and irtvi4K ex-cured them, returned, unattended by any ofrcer They might have gone away if they had thought fit. Mr. Caine Neva!, of the Tax-Office, Somerset- House, and Ingrazn's-lane, Hampstead, stated, that he did not know any of the parties previous to Mon day last, when he was proceeding to town about ten o'clock in the morning, and had not got more than a dozen yards from his house before he heard a con versation between Mr. Adams and Mr. Newbold; he proceeded with Mr. Adams and LieutenantNewbold. Mr. Adams said there had been an unfortunate duel, and the Gentleman was in his house. Witness went into the house, and found Lieutenant Bailey sitting on the sofa as described by Mr. Adams. Witness did not know that he could say any thing more, but in confirmation of Mr. Adams. O'Callaghan re• peatedly expressed his sorrow at the occurrence, and said that had the shot broken one of his legs it would have prevented the affair going any further. He shook hands with the deceased, and went with the Officer. There did not appear to be the slightest animosity or existing amongst the parties.—' O'Callaghan told the deceased, that in about a fort night or three weeks they would be walking down Bond-street together. To which the deceased re plied, " No ; I - have seen the sun rise this morning, but I shall never see it set again:" He died in about an hour and a half. The Jury took a view of the body ; there were se veral wounds on the body which he had received in battle. It was stated also that O'Callaghan had been twice wounded at the Battle of Waterloo. The Jug afterwards returned to the Load of Hay. The Coroner addressed them ; he deprecated the practice of duelling, not only as immoral, but ille gal. That it was immoral was evident; because we 'had no right to take away the life of any person, and not the less because any person should be foolish enough to consent to be shot. at. But it was the ille gality of the practice that was under their conside ration. He did not hesitate to say, that if one man was killed in a duel, not only the man who fired the pistol, but all who were concerned, were equally criminal in the eye of the law, which declared them to be murderers. In this case the parties fired twice at each other, that was a circumstance upon which he should not animadvert, because it was probable the parties would come before another Jury, whose minds, he should wish, might not be influenced by any remark he might make. The Jury consulted about an hour ; and, at two o'clock, returned 3, verdict of Wilful Murder against' Lieutenant Theodore O'Callaghan, Thomas .roseph Phelan, and William Newbold, Lieutenant, R.N. The Coroner issued • his warrant to the Keeper of Newgate. An inquisition was taken yesterday at the Falcon, Sutton-street, St. Anne's, on the body of Elizabeth Evans, said to have been murdered by ner husband in Falconberg-court, on Sunday tat. There was no eti dence in addition to that which appeared yesterday in the Report from Marlborough-street Office, with the exception of 'Mr. Tennent, a medical man, who proved that the blows on the back of the head, which had scalped the skull, were the cause of death, and White, an undertaker, who put the deceased into the coffin. The body was opened during the sitting of the Inquest, by Dr. Carpue, of Dean -street, who was of opinion that the wounds at the back of the head would cause death. But death might have been occasioned by an inflammation in the stomach from cold. Such inflammation did exist. The vex , diet was—Wilful Murder against the Husband. An Inquest was also held at the King and Queen public-house, Paddington-green, on the body of R. Ramsey, late of the 18th regiment of foot, who was drowned by falling into the Canal labile stepping rote a boat, with several of his comrades. Verdict— Accidentally Drowned, An Inquest was likewise held at the White Hart, Tottenham, on the body of Mary Cockle, a widow, aged 36. Elizabeth Buckingham said, on Tuesday morning the deceased's daughter told her, her mo ther had been sleeping on the floor since Saturday, and would not speak to her. Witness went to her, and found her as described, in a cold room ; she was speechless, but recollected them. The room smelt strongly of brandy, and a gallon bottle, nearly empty, was by her side. Dr. Holt was Called in, who said she was' ,perishing from cold. They put her into bed, and offered her some coffee ; but at. the moment blood issued from her mouth, and she shortly afterwards died. Witness said, she thought her death was occasioned by cold and excessive chinking.—Verdict accordingly. MAxstoar-noust.—Thorns Morgan, the man who stood charged with plundering a number of coffee houses and taverns of spoons, &c. was yesterday finally examined, and committed for trial. Bow-sTnear—Yesterday the notorious Bill Soantes was again brought to the office. The case against him arose in the month of September last, when several of the inhabitants of the Strand, particularly near Catherine -street, Somerset House, and from those place's to the Adelphi, saw the prisoner, in company with others, robbing persons in the most .audacious manner. Soames at that time made his, escape and has since been concealed in the neighbourho od of , Ratc.liff Highway till Tuesday night, when Oddy ap prehended him in the gallery of the Surrey Theatre. Mr. HICKS, the Magistrate, convicted the prisoner under the Police Act as a reputed thief. MAIMBOROVOII-smear. Anutrorth, a private in the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, was charged with assaulting a boy, named Morgan, about thirteen years of age. Two witnesses proved that defendant and another soldier were elbowing every one off the payment, from Gloucester-place to Quebec-street. They did so to the boy ; who called out " Lobster." Ainsworth pursued him, caught him by the waist band, and dashed him on the ground. In defence the accused stated, that a parcel of boys had called him and his friend, (a Serjeant in the 62c1 regiment) Piccadilly Butchers. He admitted the assault in its full extent, and said he took him by the neck for his insolence, and he would lose his life in his own de fence. Magistrate—" You might have last your life in this instance. Your regiment was formerly con sidered as composed of civilized, temperate men; but from your abuse and offences which come every day to this office, you have lost your characters altoge ther, and become brutes. A soldier should feel him self above the insult of a boy." The defendant was bailed by two Quarter ;Masters. • • LONDON : Printed and published by Lms.

The support of the walls of Cathedrals by the power of geometry was pointed out, it being accomplished in some by. pillars in the interior, in others, by but tresses on the exterior.
