A minus, though a distressing occurrence, took place on Tuesday evening, at the Windsor Theatrea Miss Duncan engaged with the Manager for two nights, and was advertised for Vio!ante and Maria, in the twee of The Cilium, on Tuesday, and for Lady litter, on Wednesday evening. The boxes were all taken for both nights ; but en Tuesday, when the play should have begun, no Miss Duncan had arrived ; the audience waited with great pati ence, till near right o'clock ; at which time, chew ing some marks of impatience, an apolt•gy was made by the Manager, in the course of which, Miss Dunean's letters were read ; by the last .f which, received only in the mid,ile of the day, it appeared she had doubts as to her terms bring complied with. The Manager instantly dispatched an express to her, begging she would set off in a chaise and four, the expenses of which he would pay, and upon her own terms—hut the Lady was relentless. The audience, with great liberality, accepted of Mrs. Tomlinson as a substitute, and the play went off with great spirit. We understand the transaCtion is likely to become a theme of elta queuce among the Gentlemen of the long ,obe, in Westminster-Hall.

She bas dressed and undressed our ladies just as she pleased ; now loading them with velvet and wadding, now turning them adrift upon the world, to run shivering through the streets wilt scarcely a covering to their backs ; and now obliging them to drag a long tram at the .r heels, like the tail of a paper kite. Her despotic sway, howe ver, threatens to be limited. A dangerous :lea' has sprung up in the person of Madame BOUCIIARD, an intrepid little woman, fresh from the head-quarters 1 of fashion and folly, and who has burst like a second Bo AAAAAA a upon the fashionable world. Mrs. Toot', notwithstanding, 'seems determined 1 to dispute her ground bravely, for the honour of Old England. The Ladies have begun to arrange themselves under the banner of one or other of these horoines, and every thing portends open war.— Madame Boucn alto marches gallantly to the field, flourishing a flaming red robe for a standard, .• flouting the skies ;" and Mrs. Toots, no ways dismayed, sallies out under cover of a forest ot ar tificial flowers, like Ma i.coi.ss's host. Both parties possess great merit. and both deserve the el/dory . Mrs. Toots charges the highest, bat Madame BOVCII•ID makes the lowest cut tesy. Madame Boucnaari is a little short Lady—nor is there any hope of her growing any larger 1 but then she is perledly genteel—and so is Mrs. Toots. Mrs. Toots lives in --..-, and Madame BOUGH Aso in ---; but Madame atones for the inferi ority of her stand, by making two curtseys to Mrs. Toote's one, and talking I. rench like an angel. Mrs. Toots is the best looking—but Madame lieu curiae, wears a most bewitching little scrubby wig. Mrs. Toot' is the Idlest—bat Madame Simmers's') has the longest nose.—Mrs. Toot a is fond of roast beef—but Madame is loyal in her adherence to onions: in short, so equally are the merits ot the two ladies balanced, that there is no judge's which will 4 4 kick the beam." It however seems to be the prevailing opinion, that Madame Soucu• en will carry the day, because she wears a wig, has a long nose, talks French, loves onions, and does not charge above ten times as much for a thing as it is worth.

Oa Thursday . , about eleven o'clocka Mr. Nam* the sitting Magistrate, received priVatE information that Captain Campbell and Captairt Herbert, of the East India Company's service were to fight a duel, at twelve o'clock, that day, on Wimbledon Common, near Jerry Aber:Acme.: gibbet ; in come+ (pence Of which, Mr. NAltel is,ued his warrant against the parties, and dispatched Adkins, in • post.chaise to apprehend them, attended bop T. Jones, one of the patrole. They proceeded to the spot with all possible speed, where tiley arrived soon. after twelve o'clock, but the parties were not there, aver could Adkins learn that any gentlemen had been there for the purpose of fighting a duel ; he went to the Bald-face Stag Inn, about half a mile distant from the spot, and inquired of the landlord, who informed hind that he had seen three gendernen in a chaise go on the Heath, fol lowed by two on horseback ; they remained a little more than a quarter of as hoer, and then returned; the chaise went towards Kingston, and the horse men took the road ter London : a man in the inn said he heard the report of a piatol, while the gen. 'denten were on the Heath, and concluded they had been to fight a duel. This, however, did not satisfy ' Adkins, and he proceeded on to the Robin Hood sad Lkde John Inn, and made inquiries of the landlord, and while they were conversiog, the Rev. Mr. Butcher, of %Vend:worth, an adtive Magistrate for the county of Finney, rode up on horseback, who was likewise in purser' of- she duellists, awd said he bad received private informed°a of their int - oatioa to fight on the spot where Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Paull did, en Coomb's Warren ; the Magistrate and Officer accerdin4ly joined in their pursuit ; the Magistrate took the road, and the Officer went through the wood. Immediately after the Officer got upon the Warren, be heard the re- • port of two p:stors, which convinced him it was t'as duellists, but could not see any buoy. As soon as Mr. Butcher came up, he spurred his horse, and set off, with great speed, towards the spot M - !Cre the reports came from, an ihe s s,n m-t a pos . -eliai.ea with three gentlemen in it, who proved .o be s.lapt.

He overtook Pope at iht Church, where he pinioned him with his k et against the wall, and struck him a chrsperste blovi in the eye, as the latter was t6.lcasLisn. g to shun it by crouchiag. A gentleman of the name of Run heard the bny, Pope, scream, and went to the place. His eye was quite closed, waif bleedirg very fast.

Young became relrac• tiny, and struck a man of the name of Ber. ridge, who, teturned the blow, and they fought three or tour rounds. Young was taken to the Compter, where he gave charge of Berridge, who was detained there all night. The boy, Pope, went to a surgeon, who examined his eye, and who gave it at his opinion, that Pope must have been sit u.k with some slurp insuun:ent, as he was cut in two places, ene along the eye-blow, and ti.e ("thee straight down the forehead. Y'o . ung, in his defence, said, Pope ran against him designedly, and afterwards began to laugh st - him, which vexed him very much, and lie ran after him. Pope, in stooping, hit his head against Young's fist. He denied having any thing .n his band at the time.
