ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.

Mr. MATHIMIS who had been driven from " Home"
by the summer performances at this Theatre, has come
back to cheer up his friends for a few evenings. They
assembled last night in considerable numbers to wel-
comehis return, and his appearance was hailed with
shouts and loud applause by those who were grateful
for past, and those who anticipated future amusement.
His Trip to America was described with as much spirit
and comic effect as ever, and was warmly and univer-
sally applauded throughout.

Friday morning a duel was fought at the end of ti.e
Canal Bank, near Limerick, between R--- S—, Esq.

without effect, the matter in dispute was adjusted to the
satisfaction of both parties.
Two butcher-birds were shot last week, on the coast
of East Lothian.

in the house of Mr. Haly, in King-street, GolJen•square,
which destroyed part of the building, and the stock
of a fruiterer and green-grocer.
A CAUTION TO WlTNesses.—Very considerable in-
terruption in the dispatch of business at the Courts of
the Old Bailey having been occasioned during the late
Sessions, in consequence of the irregular attendance of
persons bound over to give evidence on the trial of
soners, the COMMON StRJEANT, on Friday, gavepublie
notice in Court, that those witnesses who do not imme•
diately appear on their names being called by the officer,
will not in future be allowed their expenses.
The new Insolvent Debtors' Court, in Poi tugal-street,
is finished, and is a very handsome building. It is light
and commodious in the interior, and admirably well
calculated for a Court of Justice.
