The Opera of Love in a V:Uage ,was performed on
Saturday night, with the novelty of Mr. W. FAR-
REN'S first appearance in Justice Woodcock. The
effort was a successful and clever one. The headstrong
ignorance of the old Magistrate had all the effect of
which it is susceptible, and the garden scene, where
Hawthorn surprises him with Rosetta, was acted with
the greatest richness. Miss Peron sang very beauti-
fully as Rosetta, and executed an introduced bravura
with fine spirit. Mrs. C. JONES played Madge to ad-
miration; and WEST was very amusing as Hodge.

• PARISIAN FASHIONS
Uats of dun de colon have usually a large bow to fasten the fea-
then, the ends of which are fringed. Leghorns have frequently a
large satin bow on one side, the ends of which are fringed. Hats
are still trimmed with -the bows called oseulits a vent (windmill),
with this difference, that the loops of the bows are at least sixteen
inches from end to end.
Dauses.—Eighty out of every hundred are ON blouse, with the
menebes en gigot (Anglke, leg of mutton sleeves), are very large, and
tweeters (full) at the shoulder, from whence they lessen to the
wrist; they appear to be self-supported, but have underneath some
light material, highly starched, which is replaced as often as it loses
its stiffness ; they should have but one fold at the bend of the arm.
Blouse pelisses have a double pelerine, and are buttoned up the
front, round worked collars are worked with them. Gloves for
dress are short, and trimmed with ribbon or guile. The borden of
short sleeves are also trimmed the same.

The hair is dressed very high, and tittently ornamented with a
wreath of roses • two large bunches of hair cover the temples.
Cocovas.—The most prevailing are white, pink, yellow, blue,
and were de Judie (tree of Judea), which is a pink bordering upon a
Persian lilac; for gros de Naplesolaisette or nut brown is a favourite.
nowaas.—Those for hats of Leghorn, or poille de Mort, are pio-
nies, camellia, large roses with buds, or other large flowers ; pio-
nies are decidedly the favourites.
Steel is still so much the fashion, that Ladies' watch-cases are
made of it in preference tb gold.
Bracelets are worn so large, that they frequently enclose portraits
in miniature.

DUEL.—A meeting took place on Sattirday morning,
a Kennington Common, between a Mr. S. and a Mr. G. Each
Gentleman had his second, and a surgeon from the City was in at-
tendance. The party met exactly at tour o'clock, and the ground.
was immediately measured: the Gentlemen then received their pis-
tols, and on a signal given they fired, and the ball of Mr. S. grazed
the shoulder of bk. G. 'The seconds then interfered, and endea-
voured to bring about a reconciliation, but to no effect. Mr. S. re-
mained inflexible. The pistols were again delivered ; they fired
again, anti Mr. G. immediately fell, the ball having entered his
right side a little above the hip. Mr. S. then approached him,
when Mr. G. taking him by the hand, begged his forgiveness, own-
ing himself in fault. The circumstances that led to this meeting
wcre said to be as follow :—About a month ago, an anonymous let-
ter was sent to a young Lady to whom Mr. 8. was paying his ad-
dresses, defaming his character; in consequence of which Mr. S.
determined never to let the matter rest until he found out this se-
cret enemy to h peace. After the most diligent search and in.
quiry, he at last discovered him in the person of Mr. G. A chal-
lenge was immediately given and accepted, and thus Mr. G. met
with the result already described. Mr. G. Is now at the house of
the surgeon who attended the meeting, and is undergoing severe
suffering, though in the surgeon's opinion there is no fear that the
wound will prove mortal. 17se meeting was managed with so
much secrecy and eepedition, that the party were-off the ground be-
fore the watchmen could reach the place from whence they beard
the report of the listols.

less attractive than even those of yesterday. The Duke

his presence, but the Duke and Duchess of itictimoNo,
Lord G. H. CAVENDISH, and a few others of titled
rank, were there.
