Lady DAVY'S assembly on Saturday evening, in Lower Grosvenor-street, was very elegantly attended. Sir WALTER SCOTT, Bart. returns this day to the Waterloo Hotel, Jermyn-street, from a visit to Lord Siam, at hit seat, Thames Ditton. OPERA HOUSE.—The first rehearsal of the Italian OFeia took place on Saturday evening. The house i) expected to open in about a fortnight. Mr. EBERS, the respectable bookseller, of Boni-street, is the osten able proprietor, and Mr. ATRTON the director. The latter has made a visit to Paris, and engaged several performers, including two of the first dancers in that city. Madame CAMPORESE, Signor AMBROGETTI, and a very large proportion of the late establishment, retain their places. DRURY-LAI;E.—The Opera of Artaxerxes seems to increase in popularity from repetition. The House was fashionably crowded on Saturday night, and most of the songs were loudly encored. Miss WILSON tang her songs with great spirit and effect, and was mach admired. COVENT-GA EDEN.— The Antiquary was repeated M Saturday night, to the high gratification of a crowded House. .Miss STEPHENS was in fine voice. The new Farce having beet► withdrawn, in deference to public judgment, 7'lle Warlock qf the Glen was substituted. , The 'female has brought letters and papers from - Port Jackson to the 7th of September, by which we learn, that the indefatigable exertions of Mr. Tir nom:, who ascertained the route to the fine country beyond the Blue Mountains, have again been crowned with The most gratifying success. In a letter of the sth of September, to a Gentleman in town, he says— You will see I am in a fair way of verifying my prediction, that ere long a route would be continued as far to the southward o our Continent as Twofold Bay. The lake now discovered k full 140 miles S.S.V. of Sydney, to which an open carriage road will be clear in a month. The country is beautiful, and telly equal to my most sanguine expectations fbr all the necessary parposes of colonization. Picture to yourself large extensive downs, not 'plains, some as large as from 50 to 60,000 acres, with eat a tree, everywhere covered with fine grass for sheep or cattle, aid well watered, partly by rippling streams, partly by chains of ponds in all directions. There are many plains of different sues, and the hills and broken country around are thickly clad with excellent timber. It is, in fact, a most desirable country, tad before next Christmas I confidently anticipate we shall prove that the snow and rain which fall on the mountains and hish country seen to the S.W. have an outlet to the sea.— The lake is called by the natives Warrewaa, and is stated by them to empty its waters in a southerly direction, where we per wive an opening in the high land on its west margin, by a river they call Illnrrum•hid-gee. The lake rum from north to south about 30 miles, and extends in breadth from two to ten miles, eta margin abounding in the most picturesque bays and points." Many respectable settlers had lately arrived, and we see in the Gazette of the 4th of September, that 210 grants of land were then awaiting delivery at the Secretary's Office. Some idea may be formed of the extent of society in New Holland, from 120 Gentle men having dined at the Governor's table on the last 4th of June. The Colony is so full of all kinds of merchandise, that the commodities of India arc much lower than in this country, and European articles of tjytnestic consumption at little advance on the. Eng !! h prices. Goven nment having sent out duly qua -I,fied Pastors, chapels are now erecting at Sydney and Wiudsor, for the performance of the Catholic *es of worship. Mr. Bloc was proceeding in his in , Stir] into the state of the Colony, and expected to leave it in his Alajesty's chip DROMEDARY, early in t l4 resew ycir. Et' l C , istirAL INTELLIGENOL His Majesty's ship krmat, of 20 guns, got on the rocks under the South Foreland yesterday morning, to a fog, but was got off again about nine A. u. and proceeded without damage. The Friends' Increase, of and fur Greenock, from Ireland, with grain, has been wrecked on the Island of Tirce. Two of the crew were washed from the topmast by an immense sea, and perished before the eyes of the spectators on shore, who could render them no assistance. The brig Guadaloupe, of Greenock, from Jamaica, was, at five o'clock in the morning of the 3d instant, dashed to pieces on the west side of the Island of Coll. A part of the cargo is saved, consisting of rum and cotton. The Captain died at sea about twenty days before : the crew had lived I*k-tureen to ya on sugar and rum, having nothing else to subsist on. Four Jibe crew were drowned, together with a Lieutenant of the 924 Re giment, or Gordon Highlanders, also a woman, and an infant born three days previous to the wreck of the vessel. The Fast and Second Mates, with two of the crew, are saved.

On the 6th instant, the Lord Nelson cutter was cap tured off Selsea, with part of her cargo and four men. During the chase, a man on board the smuggler was severely wounded in the lower jaw by a musket-shot, fired by her pursuer. On the following night, about 200 tubs were seized near Worthing, by the Preven tive Water.guard, assisted by a Riding Officer. The same evening, two other seizures were made by the Preventive Guard, the one at Pagham, of 23 tubs, and the other at Selsea Bill, comprising a consider able quantity of various contraband goods, a great part of which was afterwards rescued by a party who used the seizing Officers very roughly. The Chance, of Brighton, arid the Speedwell, of Selsea, together with their crews, have been captured by the Revenue cutters. _ Muni:in.—Thursday week two boys were playing in the street of Tipperary, the elder, son of the widow Dwyer, about fourteen years old, the younger, only son of Mr. Patrick Drawly, a remarkably tine lad, of about twelve; after some altercation, the younger boy snatched a turnip which the other was in the act or peeling, when he, in a moment of passionate re venge, plunged a shoemaker's cutting knife into the heart of his little innocent rlayfellow. He has only strength sufficient to run to his father's house, a distance of about twenty yards, when lie called out to his wretched parent, who opened the door to admit him, unconscious of his situation, " Oh, mo ther, he has killed me!" and instantly expired. Young Dwyer has been lodged in Tipperary Jail. - -. ~- tifE ARMt • • • The 9th Veteran Battalion (six companies of which Regiment are at Portsmouth Garrison, and the re maining four at Ply mouth) placed under orders to, embark for Cork, for the purpose, it is believed, •f being disbanded.

A duel, attended' with dangerous consequences, took place on Friday night, in a field between Chalk Farm Tavern and Prim rose-hill. The parties were Mr. Joust Scow, the avowed Edi tor of The Landon Magazine, apd Mr. Cultist -fa, a friend of the supposed Conductor of Mackuraces Magadne, (Mr. J. G. Loce- MART, of Edinburgh). The original cause of quarrel between these Gentlemen had its rise in a series of three articles which appeared in The London Magazine, discussing the conduct and management of Blackwood's Magazine, and regarded by Mr. Locum WI as offensive to his feelings, and injurious to his honour. Mr. Climate, as the friend of Mr. LOCKHART, waited upon Mr, Score, to demand an explanation of the articles in question, and, In fact, to require a public apology, for matter which he consi dered personally offensive to himself, or such other satisfaction as a Gentleman was entitled to. This interview led to others, as well as to a correspondence, in which much of mutual warmth was expressed. To prevent misapprehension of what had oc curred, Mr. Scan published his statement of the transactions to which he had been a party, which were very generally circulated in the Literary World, as well as copied into some of the Daily Papers. This was followed by a statement on the part of Mr. Cuatsm, the friend of Mr. LOCKHART, which was followed by a second statement from the pen of Mr. Score, in which he treated the conduct of Mr. LOCIIIIART with great asperity, and defended the course which he had pursued with considerable warmth. Then foliewed a counter-statement from Mr. CIIRIS ye, which, we lament to say, led to the event we are about to describe. In this counter-statement, Mr. CUSISTIE applied, as from himself, some offensive epithets to Mr. Score; be, in con ' sequence, proceeded, with his friend (Mr. •PATUOSE), to Mr. Camera's lodgings, and demanded an apology or instant satis faction. Mr. Cultism refused the former, and expressed his 'readiness; without loss of time, to grant the latter. The matter keying come to this issue, it was agreed that they should meet with as little delay as possible, at Chalk Farm, and thither they proceeded, at nine o'clock the same night. Mr. Scorr was at tended by his friend, Mr. TATUM'S, and by Mr. Prrocezw, a Medical Gentleman. The moon shone with brightness, so that the hostile parties had a full opportunity of discerning each *her distinctly, and, havfng taken their ground, they fired toge ther. Mr. Scorr received his antagonist's ball in his groin, and fell. Every assistance which the circumstances would permit was afforded him, and he was conveyed on a shutter to Chalk Farm Tavern, where he was laid on a bed. Mr. Canna and his second then retired, and taking their seats in the post-chaise in which they had come, sought their own safety in flight. Mr. Perriotew, after having rendered all the assistance in his power to Mr. Scow, returned to town, in order to procure further surgical assistance, and to give directions that Mr. Scores apartments, at Mr. Bona's, in York-street, should be prepared for his reception, Mr. Same having expressed a desire that he should be removed home. A short time after Mr. Parrumew's departure, however, it was found that Mr. Scorr could not be removed with safety, and Mrs. Seorr and her father, Mr. Corr wacut, of Cuckspur-street, were sent for. Mrs. Score, who had spent the day at her father's house, and from whom Mr. Score had parted at seven o'clock, saying, he was going to dine with a friend in the Temple, instantly set off with her father, in a post-chaise, to her husband's bedside, where she remained the rest of the night. On examination, it appeared that the ball had passed the intestines, awl lodged at the opposite side, where it was distinctly felt. The Surgeons in attendance, however, deemed it prudent not to extract it, lest any additional inflam mation should be excited, and the danger, which was considered imminent, be thereby enhanced. On Saturday, Mr. S ScovT was copiously bled. The bleeding produced a beneficial effect, and in a few hours the inflammation subsided considerably. Lae on Sa turday evening, Doctors Baez, Goyim" and BROOKS, had a con sultation as to the propriety of attempting to extract the ball, and it was agreed to postpone the operation until yesterday morning. Mr. Scorr continued to improve during the night, and yester day morning the ball was extracted. He bore the painful opera tion with. firmness, and there was a gradual improvement visi ble in him throughout the day. At six o'clock yesterday even ing he. was so much better, that his medical attendants enter tained strong hopes of his recovery. Mrs, Score has scarcely moved from the bed-side of her husband since her arrival on Friday evening. About eight o'clock on Friday evening, the• two post chaises in which the duellists were, drove up the Hampstead-road, and halted near the field which was afterwards the scene of action. Soon after, two Gentlemen were seen to pass the Chalk Farm Tavern, aed two others came there, and having ordered a fire to be lighted in a private room, drank some wine. They went out about a quarter past ten, and the hostler of the Tavern, who had some suspicion of their intention, followed them. Be saw them meet some other persons, and shortly after heard the re- port of a pistol. He hastened into the field, and found that s Gentleman bad fallen, having been shot in the groin, and be assisted in conveying him so the Tavern, where medical assist ance was procured as speedily as possible. • The keeper of the Tavern went immediately in quest of a police-officer, but before he had returned the other parties had absconded. We lament to say, that at the time of our going to press, the latest accounts of the state of Mr. SCOTT are of a very hopeless description. There is every appearance of inflammation taking place. The un fortunate Gentleman continues at Chalk Farm. Letters front Milan . of the 2d instant. state that the renowned Colonel Disowns is nearly recovered from hiowoinds; but fur- Ash no account of the discovery of the asMtasia. -- ~ _>, CO IVES, I'EMWARY ii; The General Palmer, East India ship, teak built; Captain GEORGE Tnuscorr, after being coppered in Wnrre's new dry dock, •,,t this port, sailed this morn ing, with a full alai valuable cargo, the whole .shipped at Cowes for Madras. The passengers going out in her are, Mrs.- ELD ERTON, Miss CIIINNERT I Mrs., and Miss Gornmcn, Miss "". own., Dr. and Mrs. SMART, Major RA INSFORD, Messrs. CRA MER, mans A NO, COOPER, BUTT, Pn !LIPSON, ROWLAND-. SON, CRA NSTON, and POOLE'S', Cadets. Mr. free.marifter, and Mr. VA Ul. ENT. This last person is a native of India, returning to Madras, with a for tune of 1:10,CO3, the earnings of his industry and skill in the juggling tut. Ile came to England about ten years since, and was the first of the Indian jugglers who exhibited their tricks• in this country. After passing a year in London, he went to Manchester, Liverpool, and all the priilcipal towns in the King dom, astonishing his beholders with his dexterous feats, but more particularly by the sword swallow : since which he has travelled to Paris, Vienna, Pe tersburgh, Moscow, and all the great cities and towns of the Continent, amusing Emperors, Kings, and No bles, as well as all who were disposed to witness his performances, and drawing from them those rewards of which he has had prudence to take care, and which will stagger the faith of his fraternity on his return. Arrived the American ship Cadmus, 'rework:, from Savannah, laden with cotton and rice, to be warehoused under the regulations of the bonding system, till the cargo can be shopped for France in English or French- bottoms, the high tariff in France precluding the entry of American ships into the ports of France. Cowes is particularly well adapted for the discharge of Cargoes, as ships of 450 tons and upwards can lay alongside the wharfs, and discharge goods immediately into the warehouses. EAST GRINSTEAD, FEBRUARY 18. The Spring is very forward in this neighbourhood, and the wheat looks remarkably well. As an example of the unusual advance of the season, we may notice that the winter aconite (hclrborus hyemalis) and the snowdrop have been in flower nearly a month, and the periwinkle (vinca major) and crocus above a fortnight; A child, belonging to a poor woman near this town, • was shockingly burnt, a few days since, owing to its cloaths catching fire while sitting in the chimney corner, where peat was burning. - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

RANDALL was viewing the "grand doings" at the Carnival, at the English Opera House, on Monday evening last, in a dontiao. quite unknown to most of the motley group ; when a character Clown was gammoneti to serve ova a notice, whofancied he coldd " spar a little !"

A small white hare was started a few days ago, near Deerin, in Ireland, and worried by six couple of harriers, for nearly as hour, without being able to kill it, when one of the sportsmen, seeing the poor animal nearly exhausted, headed the dogs and saved its life. Monday two large Newfoundland dogs followed the Union coach from Woodstock, and on the road attacked a flock of sheep near the Diamond House, killed six of them, and hit five others so severely - , that the owner, Mr. Cnir.Lisowoirrnof St. Giles's, was under the necessity of ordering them to be killed. One dog was secured, and the other was traced to his owner, Mr. CRADOCK, of the Old Angel Inn, Woodstock, who paid Mr. CIIILLISGWORTH the va lue of the eleven sheep.
