idUi'l.4 ARK VOLUNTEiR4

INFORMATI.bN was, on Friday evening, received
Foil!), that Lieut.-Col. At.cgcic,, of
the Lnyal SouthwaFk Volunteers, arid Cdpl. CLIN-1
sot., of the Light Company, in the same Corps, 11,14
engagcd to fight a Duel the foll Owing morning, in
conseqUence of some dispute having arisen between
them, relative to the tlkagieeme.nt which has lately
and unfortunately existed in that Regiment. Sik R.
roRD feeling, under the I;Articulat circumstances
Of this case, the importance it would he
.to pre-
vent the proposed meeting, Went himself it itnedi.
ately into the Borough, with proper assistance, and
succeeded in taking Captain Guiisog into custody.
Colonel ALCoCK being from home, was not taken
that night ; but it being dkovered, on inquiry,
that the duel was intended tp;riake.place on Wimple.
don Common, Mr. SrAFs. au, the Chief Clerk,
and Aiittists, one of the Officers, were sent to the,
ground at the appointed time, where they found
Colonel At. EdCli and his Second, whom they secured
and brought to Bow-street ; where all the partieS
were liberated, on producing hail to keep the peace,
themselves in soot. each, and .the securities io the
like sum. Colonel TIERNEY, and some of the
Officers, attended before the. Magistrate. Much ill
blood seems to prevail on the late ground of alter-
cation between the Field Officers and the Officers of
Companies. The parties are, however, bound over
to keep the peace. '

THE OPERA.

King's Tt afire.

A very numerous and splendid auditory attended
the new Opera La liergine del Sole, on Saturday
last. GRAssIN t exerted herself with increased ef-
feti, and perhaps rather too iealotisly, considering,
that her cold is not yet entirely -reinoved. The feel-
ing and unaffected simplicity which charaderize her
ading, have made a very favourable impression on
the: Public, and however people may differ respeCt-
ing, her musical abilities, all agree in acknowledging
that she has great taste, and is well acquainted with
her art. There is much dignity as well as expres-
sion in her delivery of-the recitative.

In consequence of indisposition, VicmsloNt could
not perform, and his part was taken at a very short
notice by Signora BOLLA, who made a very elegant
appearance in virile attire, .tud,supported the part
with correctness and spirit.
The beautiful Thrj in the'46nd Aft was, as
usual, encored. GRASSINI had a touching pathos
in this Due, ancII3oLLA sustained her part of it
with great skill, particularly as she adopted the
Manner of VtuANotvt very successfully. _ _

The Divertisements went off as usual. DES
HAYEs and PARI,,yr had a very charming Pas de
Deux. Madam DES HAYI is by no means calcu..
laced to excel in :he grand style; in the rporti,ue
and simple province of the Ballet she will probably
become a favourite.

DUBLIN, JAN. 17.

ON Saturday last at six o'clock in the morning,
a duel took place inside the wall of Lord ERR IS'b
demesne., near Boyle, between Mr. ROBERT Butt.
CHALL, jun. son of Mr. BURCHALL, of Carrick-
on_Shannon, and Lieutenant PAGE of the Louth
Militia. Unfortunately, at the first fire, Mr.
BURCHALOS shot took effeEt, and Lieutenant
PAGE expired on the spot. The dispute originated
at a ball at Carrick-on.Shannon, and the Gentleman
who unhappily fell is much lamented.
A duel was appointed by challenge to have taken
place on Sunday last, in a field near the Grand Canal
and Dolphin's Barn. The parties were a Captain
of a yeomanry corps of this city, and a Lieutenant
of a regular. regiment, on Dublin duty. Both
Gentlemen came to the ground with their seconds,
between eleven and twelve o'clock ; but before the
duel could take place, Justice BELL interfered, and
prevented it.
An unfortunate circumstance took place a few
days ago, in the vicinity of the city : The wife of
one Broom, a Sheriff's. Officer,.. and Keeper of a
lock-up house, eloped with a. Gentleman named
Hume ; but the husband. having pursued the guilty
pair, overtook them, and instantly shot the Lady's
paramour dead on the spot, and wounded her in the
arm.--Broom has been lodged in prison, to abide
his trial.

It is with concern we hear, that Lady ELEANOR
BUTLER and Miss PONSONBY are in danger of being
expelled their beautiful and long enjoyed residence in
the Vale of Llangollen, by the purposed ereCtion of
a Cotton Mill and ManufaCtory in their immediate
neighbourhood, under the direlion of Mr. BID.
DULPH, Banker, Charing-Cross.
The chief topic of conversation among all ranks
of people at present is the extraordinary affair re.
lative to Mrs. LEIGH. The general bent of opi-
nion, we are sorry to find, seems to be unfavourable
to the Lady ; but if she really wished to leave her
house with either of the parties, she took an un.
accountable mode of accomplishing her purpose.' It
does not appear that the person who accompanied her
Had any particular destiny in view, and it is strange
indeed that he was not supplied with money for the
comm nn expenses of the journey. The memorable
history of BETTY CANNING sinks to nothing in
comparison with this enigmatical adventure.
The Rev. W. R. CHURCHILL on Friday arrived
at Yarmouth from France, having, through the ac-
tive interference of Mr. LI v INGsTON, the American
Minister, obtained permission from, the Chief Con-
sul to accompany his brother, Mr. JOHN CHURCH.
ILL, he being in a very ill state of health.
The Derwent and atrtford Corps of Volunteers
have made an offer to be embodied fur one month,
in consequence of which they arc to assemble this
day at Scarborough.
