FOREIGN OpERA.-7—Although 'the Op-era of AT'
temisia was curtailed, GENI resumed his character,
and SESSI sung well ; still its natural dullnessVjg
so preclominant,that much disapprobation w 3,/
expressed at its conclusion. A new Ballet fig'''.
lowed, and it etnainly sheaved oif all the dancers
to advantage, but for what the story is ab°l-11C
we must refer to the programme. It was nearly
two hours long. The Madager is determined 0
have enough for his money. The Company v"5
not very numerous.

CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 22.—We had but feW
arrivals of any kind of Grain this morning, b'
what was left over from Monday was quite apo'
to the demand ; the sales being exceedingly doll'
and scarcely any thing doing, the prices most be
considered nominally the same as on Melnday;
but where the sales are forced, lower prices mus‘
be submitted to.

The port of London is now definitively she
against the import of Foreign Wheat, Rye, BO'
ley, Beans, and Pease, until the 15th of IU4
next, (the highest duty acting as a prohibition)'
and open during that time for Oats at the middle
duty of Is. 7d. per quarter.

DUEL.—Early on Monday morning a meeting
took place behind Holland=house, Kensington,
between Captain M. of the Navy, and Mr.

MortaAY's Court-martial. The parties were ac-
companied to the ground by their seconds and I
surgeon ; and each exchanged two limas. At tine
second fire Mr. H's ball entered the right arty °
Captain M. at the wrist. The seconds now ins
tettered, and the parties declaring themselves
tisfied, entered a post-chaise which was waitine
-the Uxbridge Road, and returned to town t°'
gether.

An eropement has taken place within the last
