THEATRICAL RENCONTRE.-On Saturday last,
Mr. ELLISTON, the principal manager and lessee
of Drury-lane Theatre, was waited on by Mr.
RonwELL, belonging to the Adelphi Theatre, in
the Strand, in his private room at Drury-lane
house. Mr. RoDwELL was accompanied by Mr.
O'CALLAGHAN, one of the Performers on his minor
establishment; when the former, in rather an
uncivil tone, demanded some explanation with
respect to a letter he had received from the lessee
of Drury-lane house. Mr. ItonwELL first asked
Mr. ELLISTON if he was really the writer of the
_ _

letter which he held open in his. hand ? Being
soon satisfied as to this particular point, Mr. R.
called Mr. E. a " rascally scoundrel," and began
to horsewhip Mr. E. Hereupon a scuffle took
place, and Mr. E. being provided with " night
preservers," a knock-down kind of side-pocket
canes, leaded at both extremities, snatched this-
self-defence instrument suddenly from a private
drawer, and inflicted two severe blows upon
the forehead of Mr. It. Copious streams
of blood flowed. Mr. O'CALLAGHAN now
seized Mr. ELLSSTON by his arms; and so
prevented the latter from repeating his blows.
Alarmed by the noise, Mr. RUSSELL came into
the room, and was followed by others who be-
longed to the Theatre. Mr. RUSSELL then en,
deavoured to separate the parties. Mr. RODWELL
still boasting that he had horsewhipped Mr. E.;
and Mr. E. denying it, Mr. R. rushed on Mr. E.,
and said, to convince all present that he had
horsewhipped Mr. E., he would repeat it, when
he struck •Mr. ELLISTON several times with the
horsewhip. Mr. E. closed on him, and forced
the horsewhip from Mr. R.'s hand, and broke it
to pieces. BOND, the Constable to the Theatre,
having been sent for, Mr. R. was given into his
custody, who brought him to Bow-street Office,'
where he underwent an examination• before Sir
R. BAKER, when Mr. E. proved by several wit-
nesses, that he was not. armed with the night
preserver by design or in expectation of any at-
tack from Mr. RODWELL; but that he had been
in the habit of carrying them for these eight
months.—No defence was set up; and Mr.
RODWELL entered into a recognizance personally
for 1001., and to find sureties.—(Neza Times.)

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY is much re-
covered from his attack of the gout. The
Noble Lord received visits on Saturday from
the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Earl of W EST.-
WORLAND, and several others of the CAinet
Ministers.

The Duke of WELLINGTON gives a very grand
entertainment this day, at his house in Picca-
dilly, being the anniversary of the memorable
Battle of Waterloo ; to which all the Officers
who were at that celebrated battle, belonging to
his regiment (the Royal Horse Guards), are in-
vited. The band of that regiment are to be
present, to play during the evening.
An English Gentleman of rank, hi his recent
tour on the Continent, availed himself of the oppor-
tunity, and had the honour of paying his respects
to the Queen of WIRTEMEEITG ; to whom her
Majesty expressed the perfect satisfaction she at
present enjoyed in Germany, and her detertni,
nation never again to visit England.
