FATAL DUEL.
On WedniSchty evening another fatal duel took
place near Chalk Farm. The parties were Thomas
O'Reilly, Esq. an officer in the army, and a gentle.
man of the Name of Hobart ; they met about seven . • 1
o'clock, in a field a little to the North of the house, .
attended by their seconds. The combatants fired at
the same moment, and Mr. O'Reilly was shot in the
body near the hip. On receiving the wound he rata
some short distance, and then vialked ; but before
he could'get to Chalk-farm, fainted from the loss
of blood. The ball, which had lodged near. the •
skin on the opposite side, was Soon after extraded
by Mr. M. a surgeon ; notwithstanding which he
died yesterday afternoon about three o'clock.
Mr. O'Reilly was a very young man ; he men-
tioned who his antagonist was, but refused to tell
the names of their seconds.
The sprightly vivacity of the Rival Columbines,

their mutual distrust and jealousies, 'and their
many little snares thrown out to win the Mbtley
Hero, draw forth the loudest plaudits every evening.
