CAMBRIDGE, MARCH 27.—The subject of
the Seatonian prize poem for the present year is, " The
Finding of Moses." The VICE-CILANCELLOR and other
official electors of TYRWHITT'S Hebrew scholarships have
announced, in pursuance of the 13th regulation of the
Senate, bearing date the 14th March, 1826, that a pre-
mium of 501. will be given for the best dissertation on

" The Nature and Extent of the Hebraisms found in the

writings of St. Paul, including the Epistle to the Hebrews."

On Sunday, at St. George's, Hanover-
square, banns of marriage were published between the
Hon. GEo. TALBOT, brother and heir of the Catholic

Earl of SHREWSBURY, and a Miss JONES (a daughter
of Sir lioaAcE ST. PAUL, Bart. M.P. for Bridport).
The mode of licence has excited considerable curiosity
amongst the fashionable circles.

An aggregate meeting was held at the Corn
Exchange, Dublin, on Wednesday last, at which it was
resolved to appoint a Committee for the purpose of enter-
ing into arrangements for paying to DANIEL o'coN-
NrLL, Esq. Dl. P., " a tribute worthy of the nation
and the man, for his long, great, and successful ex-

ertions in the cause of civil and religious liberty." The

_ -
meeting was well attended. Lord GORMANSTOWN was in

the chair.

We have been informed that Sir EDWARD
O'BatzN, Bart., is to he created a Peer of the United

Kin Adonis, under the title of Baron Dromoland, of Dro-
moland, in the county of Clare. S'r EDWARD'S family is
one of the most ancient i❑ the kingdom, and his estates in
the county of Clare are very extensive. Two of his sons
occupy seats in the House of Commons. The Baronet
himself always supported Emanc'pation, and his sons have
pursued the same course since their entrance into public
life.—Dublin Freeman's Journal.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—The Ora-
torio at this Theatre last night was well attended, and
much applauded. Miss PAToN's execution of that difficult
bravura " The Soldier Tired," was rapturously encored.

Miss PHILLIPS will personate the interesting
character of Cordelia, iu King Lear, at Drury-lane
Theatre, on Monday next. YOUNG'S Lear is one of
most powerful delineations. We hope soon to see Miss
Pniturs in the Merchant of Venice. Portia was the
character performed by Mrs. SIDDONS on her first appear-
ance at Drury-lane Theatre in 1775.
THE MELODIST CLUB.—The third meeting
of this society was held on Thursday, at the Freemasons'
Tavern, which was very numerously attended. Lord
SALTOUN presided, and the professional members present
were—Bax m, T. COOKE, E. TAYLOR, PARRY, PARRY,
jun., J. B. TAYLOR, BLFWITT, J. SMITH, COOKY, kill.,
STANSBURY, and WATSON. BRAIIAM was encored in
" The King ! God bless him ;" as was Mr. GOULD in a
very l:eautiful MS. ballad, by WATSON. COOKE, jun.,
played a solo on the oboe in a most masterly style; his
tone is exceedingly sweet. A number of glees and songs
were sung, and harmony was kept up with unabated ar-
dour till eleven o'clock.

ARCHDEACON NARES.—We have this week
to record and deplore the death of a highly esteemed friend
—the Reverend and venerable Archdeacon NARKS, who
departed this life on Monday, at the age of 76. His
health had been for some months visibly declining; but

he was only about a week confined to his chamber. It is
out of our power, at present, to attempt anything like
even a biographical sketch of this eminent scholar and di-
vine, of this truly amiable and excellent man. If ever an
individual deserved pre-eminently the title of " literary," it
was Archdeacon Nauss; his habits had all reference to

literature and its pursuits ; his life was a life of letters and
the cultivation of valuable knowledge. His writings con-
sist chiefly of divinity, criticism, classics, and philology—
commencing with 1782, and finishing (we think) with
his admirable Glossary in 1822—a long and distinguished
career of industry, talent, learning, usefulness, and virtue.
—Literary Gazette.
A HINT TO YOUNG LADIES.—We feel
some reluctance in telling, even to our professional readers,
what we once met with : but it is an illustration of ti e
evils of tight-lacing, and we may therefore venture. At a
large and somewhat formal dinner-party, shortly before the
ladies left the room, a loud report, like that of a pistol,
suddenly startled the whole company; conversation at
once dropped—a dead silence ensued— consternation sat on
every countenance, and the guests whispered to each other
all round the table, " What could that be?" At length the
deep-crimson blushes of a young lady fixed the eyes of
every one upon her. It was not, however, till many
weeks afterwards that the explanation of this singular phe-
nomenon came out; and we had it, not from the young
lady herself, but from " authority," that one of the flat
steels of her stays, situated over the region of the stomach,
had suddenly snapped, and thus given rise to the myste-
rious explosion.—Medical Gazette, March 28.
•We have been informed that on Sunday last
a minister of a congregation in a country parish to the
southward of this city (Edinburgh) was most wantonly
interrupted in his avocations. The report that has reached
us is, that in the course of his sermon the minister stated
that the admission of the Catholic subjects of this empire
to their civil rights would have a tendency rather to lessen
than increase the number of adherents of the Church of
Rome. On hearing this a man rose, and, being joined
by some others, they turned their pastor forcibly out of
the church. It is said that the ringleader, and some of his
associates in this gross outrage on all decency, law, and
religion, were forthwith apprehended.— Scotsman.
The Coroner's inquest, held yesterday on the
body of Mr. NEALE, returned a verdict of wilful murder
against the soldier who was with hitu the night that he
was found dead.
On Saturday last, at half-past two o'clock,
Jonsr HORAN underwent the sentence of the law at the
front of the new gaol (Ennis), for an attack lan the house of
PATicicg: CONWAY, at icilinaly, The Very Rev,. Dean
O'Snauottaixssr, assisted by the Rev. Messrs. O'GoaataaT
And Coamm, accompanied him to the platform, At the
instant lie was about to ascend the fatal scaffold, he re-
quested the Dean's permiss-on to say a few words as to
his deplorable situation, to which the Rev. Gentleman re-
plied—" By all means." HORAN then said, " I declare

shall be judg.Tl, that I was not present at, lig /Aoy.

then launched into eternity,—lrfsh

THE LATE DUEL.

(From the Literary Gazette.)

We confine ourselves to what actually took place on
the ground, leaving all political question and all the corre-
spondence (already given by the newspapers) out of our
view ; which is meant rather to supply the information
most looked for hy the imblie, and yet wanting to com-

plete di, account of this meinoralde transaction.
The Duke of Wellington and his second, Sir Henry
Hardinge, rode to the ground, one of the Battersea Fields ;
Dr. Hume (an old Peninsular and campaigning friend of
his Grace) having previously been directed t!) repair to
the same spot. On the doctor's arrival with the pistols
and munition of war, which of course the equestrians
could not conveniently carry, he found the latter in wait-
ing; and on getting out of his ca-riage was jocosely ac-
costed by the Duke of Wellington, with, " Well,
Hume! I suppose you are surprised to find me here ;"
for it seems the worthy physician was not aware who was
the principal for whom his services had been required ;
but having been hastily summoned from Earl Camden's
by Sir H. Hardinge, supposed that gallant officer to he
the combatant. In a short time the Earl of Winchilsea
and the Earl of Falmouth drove up, and the former apo-
loyised for being late, in consequence of his coachman
having gone to Putney instead of Battersea Bridge. The
parties were now assembled ; but there happened to be a
72rsan whetting a scythe* in the enclosure where they
met; and, to escape observation, they leapt a ditch and
sought a more retired situation. Here the ground, twelve
piece, was measured ; but, in consequence of the position
of some trees, a remark was made by Lord Winchilsea,
which led to an immediate change of place, where Sir H.
Hardinge again measured off the same distance. The pis-
tols were now produced and loaded ; the Duke's by Dr.
Hume, as his second has lost an arm in battle; and we
believe the learned doctor also gave his aid in this respect
to Lord Falmouth, whose anxiety for his friend was evinc-
ed by considerable and honourable emotion. The preli-
minaries being thus fur settled, and the parties placed on
the ground, it was arranged that Sir H. Hardinge should
simply ask, "Are you ready ?" and being answered in the
affirmative, give the word " Fire." Hardly a moment
elapsed ere this was done. " Are you ready ?" " Yes,"
distinctly from both. " Fire !" The Duke instantly
raised his pistol, and fired at his opponent, without doing
him (or his clothes, as absurdly rumoured,) the slightest
injury. The Earl of Winchilsea then raised his weapon
upright, and discharged it in the air.
The Earl of Falmouth upon this approached Sir Henry
Hardinge, and presented a paper, with which that gentle-
man and the Duke of Wellington walked away a few paces,
when his Grace turning round quickly, said, " This is
no apology ! To be effectual, the word apology must be
introduced into the body of the document." To this Lord
Falmouth felt it to be his duty to assent, and the word
was accordingly inserted in pencil by that Noble Lord.
The paper being then returned, the Duke and his second
immediately mounted their horses, and his Grace slightly
touching his hat, they rode from the ground.
Such were the circumstances attending this remarkable
affair; and we have only to add, on authority not to be
doubted, that nothing could exceed the manly and intrepid
bearing of the Earl of Winchalsea throughout the whole of
the rencontre; and that his a4versary also displayed the
utmost sang-froid anti self-possession.

Since writing the above, we have been informed that
a sealed letter from Lord Winchilsea was in the possession
of the seconds, to be opened in the event of his falling.
A friend, on whom we can entirely rely, has since had an
opportunity of reading this composition, and he assures
us that it does the highest honour to the head and heart of
the noble writer. From the same authority we learn, that
when the illustrious Premier arrived at Windsor Castle,
whither he went a few hours after the duel, he transacted
his public business with the King before he mentioned
what had taken place. On explaining the circumstances
which led to the meeting, it was found that his Majesty
had never read the letter of Lord Winchilsea in wlsich
the original offence was given. It was therefore necessary
to send into the town for a newspaper containing this do-
cument, upon the receipt of which the Minister thought
it proper to leave his Royal Master for a while, to afford
leisure for its uninfluenced perusal and consideration. On
his return, it is stattd, his Majesty expressed himself to
the effect that it was a matter of personal honour and feel-
ing
; and that being a soldier, his Grace might, perhaps,
be more sensitive on such points than an individual of a
different class in society. He therefore supposed that the
course pursued had been unavoidsble.
We give these latter circumstances as we have heard
them; and have but a few words by way of apologue to
add from ourselves. The Athenians s% ere great news-
mongers ; and Alcibiades wishing to carry an important
point without their giving it too much consideration, had
his favourite dog's tail cut off. On being asked why he
did so, he replied, " Your very question answers itself:
while the Athenians are wondering and asking each other
why I have done this strange thing, I shall carry my mea-
sure unperceived an 4 unimpeded by them." Last Satur-
day the Duke of Wellington challeneed and fought a duel
with Lord Winchilsea.
