    THEATRE TO-MORROW NIGHT.--Mrs. Langrishe will appear in the great entertainment on Saturday night, at the Apollo, in the character of the "French Spy," in the rendition of which, this worthy and talented lady has attracted much admiration in the Eastern Theatres. Our old favorite, the pioneer Irish comedian of Pike's Peak, M. J. Dougherty, is engaged, and will convulse the audience with his inimitable drolleries. We look for an excellent audience of ladies and gentlemen, to witness Madame Celeste's great play, to-morrow night.

    ----Our city was rife this morning with the exciting rumor that a sanguinary duel was to come off between a citizen of Denver and a citizen of Golden City. We are assured that a challenge passed and was accepted, and that the terms agreed upon were as follows: Both parties to be armed with navy pisols and a Bowie-knife; to be placed only ten paces asunder; to advance and fire until all shots were exhausted, and if neither had fallen, the Bowie-knife was to finish the work. But it is reported that the Golden City individual, (who was the challenging party,) failed to put in an appearance, and of course the matter blew over. We sincerely hope and trust the matter will not be again revived.
