MOUNTAIN. The Performers sat in the manner usual at the Oratorios. .Mrs. BILLINGTON on this occasion came forward to sustain the part of Illandane. She was received by- a crowded audience with the warmest applause at her entrance, and this applause was re. peated with equal zeal on every air she sung. Some of the audience vehemently exclaimed, " well done Old England!" Most of her airs were encot ed, and were given in- the most impressive, scientific, and beautiful style. Mrs. MOUNTAIN, PHILIPS, and Hoax, supported the rest of the charaders with great ability. The Princess of WALES, and a con. siderable numb3r of the fashionables, were present. The Patentee of the Theatre-Royal, Dublin, has obtained a patent also for a summer Theatre there, to be erected near Sackville-street, and to be called the Theatre-Royal, Sackville-street. It is to be on a small but elegant scale.

The competitors, who backed themselves, jogged on together seven and a half miles in the first hour, when the favourite made play, and did eight. mi;eg in the second hour, and was a quarter of a mile ahead ; he continued so until the end of the race, and it was performed in two hours and a half.  Two officeri of, the names of Moore and Kemp met to fight a duel, at six o'clock yesterday morning, in the fields between Highgate and Hampstead, in consequence of a family dispute, but information having been given of their designs, they.were prevented from accomplishing the object of their meeting, after having measured paces, by two officers, who apprehended them, and they were held in proper sureties to keep the peace.

BALLANTINZ—Letters passed between him and his wife while he was absent. She did not kndw whether he went to Brighton on that occasion. Mary Crozier, also a servant in the prisoner's employ, deposed as to the general irritability of his temper, and as 'to his sudden absence in May, 1848. She had often heard him walking , about the room at nights, stamping, raving, and groaning. The family afterwards went to Grays, in Essex, and from that time a 'change took place iu his conduct to his wile; he frequently beat her violently, and used threats to her. When at home he would sometimes go out and sleep in an empty house next door, and return and knock up the servants in the middle of the night. There was one furnished room in the house. Cross-examined by Mr. CLAIR sow—ilewaskindtobiswife in the presence of strangers, and at other times he treated - her very cruelly. One morning at breakfast, when a cutlet was laid before him, he twisted himself rotiptd, in the chair, and groaned, and then jumped up and struhreds wife several times on the back with his fist. Jane Robinson, a nurse, now in the service of the prisoner, gave similar testimony as to repeated acts of cruelty. He usually became violent once a month, and witness was in ' the habit of jocularly saying to his wife that he was affected With 'the change of the moon. She had frequently seen him pump cold 'W'ater on his head in the morning. Mr. J. Sawyer, physician, examined by Mr. BODKIN, said , be was consulted in 1848 about the health of the prisoner. He *as then in a highly nervous, excited state, and corn• plained much of his head. He said he passed bad nights, • and could not bear the noise of the children. He also said he was troubled with the *4 horrors," and felt a wish to commit suicide. Witness recommended cold applications to the head, and change of scene, and sea air. He subsequently received a note from Mrs. Huggins, and again visited the ' prisoner, when the symptoms were aggravated; he was on that occasion suffering from congestion of the liver and brain. Witness advised him to leave home, to dispense with business, and to submit himself to the - care of a medical man. Assuming the circumstances to be • true which had been deposed to, he should decidedly &Uri, bute them to the conduct of au insane person. Cross-examined by Mr.
