DUEL.—Yesterday morning, at day-break, an
" affair of honour" took place in a field near Notting Hill,
between Capt. B-n and G. F. D-d, Esq. The
principals, accompanied by their respective friends and a
medical gentleman, arrived at the ground in hackney-
coaches. A dispute arose respecting the distance at which
the gentlemen were to be placed, Captain B. insisting on
having the usual ten paces, while Mr. D. desired to be
placed at thirty paces, with the option of advancing within
ten paces. The dispute was adjusted by lot, and the affair
settled at ten paces. On the signal " fire !" being given,
the Gallant Captain received his opponent's shot in his
right shoulder and fell, his own pistol having missed fire.
The ball was extracted on the spot, and the wound pro-
nounced to be severe, but not dangerous. Both parties
then left the ground without having come to any " amicable
arrangement." The cause of dispute was a bet made on
the last " Derby."
M. Mendelssohn Bartholdy paid a visit to the
large organ in Christ-church, Newgate-street, yesterday
morning, where a numerous and highly respectable band of
amateurs had congregated to hear his performance. Some
idea may be entertained ofithe inexhaustible powers of his
genius from the fact that for nearly three hours he sat at
the instrument, and during the time extemporised no less
than six fantasias, besides executing some preludes and
fugues of Sebastian Bach. Nearly every member of emi-
nence in the profession was in the church, and the vigour
of his mind, the freedom and independence of his fingers
and feet, and the inimitable ease with which be played, were
themes of unmingled delight and gratification. His last
attempt was grounded on a subject
nwhich he requested the
it he dis-
organist of the church to
played the readiest commagnid ov eve him,r

all in treating
the internal resources
of the art. M. Mendelssohn is unquestionably the most
perfect organist who has visited this country. He expressed
himself much pleased with the organ, and more particularly
wtii the swell, where the double stop has a magnificent effect.

family seat in Essex, Terling-place, so many years the abode

M. Hurel, the manager of the theatre of the Porte
St. Martin, is at the same time tenant of a large portion of
the adjoining house. At a loss how to accommodate some
fifty-odd fair damsels, who appear as an Amazonian army,
in his new spectacle La Guerre des &realties, he had con-
trived, by means of a partition, to construct a kind of green
room for his amiable recruits on the landing-place in front
of his apartenient. Madame Carbonnet, the owner of the
house, has commenced an action against the manager, cal-
ling upon him to abate what she describes as an intolerable
nuisance. The cause is likely to be decided in as few days.
