Lord Archibald Hamilton References made to any Judger or Law Officers of the Crown in Scotland of any Re ports of the Commissioners on the Courts of Justice ; and An swers to such References. The paragraph from Vienna in the last Hamburgh Mat relative to Prince LEOPOLD, is in a very mate rial respect erroneous. It is true that his Royal Highness has purchased a house in the neighbour -hood of that city for the sum of £7OOO sterling, but not for his own, residence, his Royal Highness cer tainly returns to England in the course of next month. He will reside at Claremont during the summer, and at Marlborough House, Pall-mall, in the winter.-- The house which his lloyal highness has purchased at Vienna is not at any season intended for himself, but for his brother, to whom he has made a present of it. Letters received from the Duke of CLARINCE give very unfavourable accounts of the 'state of Hanover, ; as tar as relates to domestic comfort. House rent his Royal Highness represents as equally high as in Lon- don ; and the expenses in food and raiment in some respects still sreater. " Hanover," his Royal High ness adds. " u a longer the same Hanover it was be fore the eetreof the French troops." His Royal High ness concludes by declaring, that nothing shall pre vent his return to Old England. ENTRAORDILNARI OCCIIIMENCE IN MOB LIFE,— Very lately an individual of considerable notoriety called on a celebrated Jeweller, and desired certain costly articles to be sent to a house in a square west of Bond-street. The property, exceeding twelve thou sand pounds, wis taken by the tradesman himself. On being ushered into a parlour, a Lady entered, and requested to shew the jewels to a Gentleman, then in the drawing-room. The pro was INIT• rendered. After a considerable lap! , time he became impatient, and rang the bell, when he was tdld that the Gebtlemen was gone off in a post chaise and four, taking the jewels with him. The tradesmen hurried out of the house, and ascer tained that such a carriage had been for some time waiting in the rear of the house ; and by for tune he met a person who gave him such a that he mounted a horse, and overtook the runaway about twelve miles from Hyde Park-owner, whom he forced to give up the property. -4-. - ••• ••- -4•400" THIB EVENING STAR.

This being settling day, and so great a fluctuation having taken place on this account, a considerable sensation was created early in the morning. Every exertion was made by the Bulls to take their Stock, and Consols settled at 73i. Up to one o'clock no defaulter of any consequence was declared, and busi ness on the whole went off very smoothly. The re port of a new Loan still gains ground, and a number of persons hitherto favourable for a rise in the mar ket, have turned their iecounts,.being of opinioe that Ministers must have recourse for a temporary supply. The Commissioners gave 73.1 for Reduced, and were served by the Jobbers generally. • From the business yet to be gone through in the House of Commons, of which we this day give an official statement, it seems probable that the Session cannot close before the end of June. Several of the financial details yet remain to be settled ; and among these, notwithstanding what has been said to the con trary by some ofour contemporaries, probably a Loan. We have not received any French Papers to-day, Monday having been kept as a strict holiday at Paris; nor have foreign journals of any kind reached us- - A not very usual of late. A large portion of our columns is this day occu pied with an Address by Mr. Owes, of Lanark, to the Working Classes. THE DUKE OF YORK. We are extremely happy to say, that his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK is going on exceedingly well towards recovery. Mr. IkiAmmon, the Sur geon, continues at Windsor in constant attendance upon his Royal Highness. Yesterday he sent a full Report of the State of the Royal Duke to the PRINcE REGENT and the other branches of the Royal Family. The following Bulletin was issued : wnmsol cams, ♦nlL 11. " MU Royal Highness the Duke of Yeas has passed a very good night, and is this morning free from fever. (Signed) " P. MACGREGOR, Sargeon." Yesterday the PAINCE REGENT received a long visit from the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, at Carlton House. The Duke of Wu-x.71,01.0s paid his respects to the PRINCE REOENT_yesterday. Tuesday the Duke of GLOUCESTER went from Windsor to Bagshot, where his Royal Highness rode on horseback for some time, viewing the alterations and improvements that are goipg on there. His Royal Highness returned to Windsor to dinner with the Dbchess. In the evening their Royal Highnesses left Windsor for London, and arrived at Gloucester House about twelve o'clock. The marriage between Lord TeNtrme and Lady MAnY CAssrsta.L is now finally fired for the 24th of nett month. The Ambassador from the Netherlands left town yesterday, on a visit to the Right Hon. CHARLES and Mrs. LONG, at their seat Bromley-hill, Kent. • , Lord and Lady KENNEDY and family arrived in town on Tuesday, from Leicestershire. Lord and Lady GAGE and family are expected in town on Wednesday next, from their seat in Sussex. , . Sir THOMAS ACELAND, Batt. arrived in town yes terday, from a tour. The Alfred Election, at Cambridge, which soon comes on, is expected to be more strongly contested this year than ever. For the 14 vacancies alreddy de clared, there are, it seems, no less than 47 candidates. Yesterday a Ballot was taken at the East India House for the Election of six Directors, in the room of JACOB ROSA:N(IIMT, JOSEPH COTTON, EDWARD PARRY, THOMAS REID, WILLIAM Wlenma, and WILLIAM TAYLOR 'MONEY, Esquires, who go out by rotation. At six o'clock the glasses were closed and delivered to the Scrutineers, who reported at half past seven that the Election h ad: fallen on ALEXANDER ALLAN, ROBERT CAMPBELL, SAMUEL, DAVIS, Esqrs. , lion. HUGH LINDSAY, Jour; Monate ' and DAVID Scozr, Esqrs. The numbers were as follow, •viz.-- - Alexander Allan, Esq. - 4611 Hen Hugh Lindsay - 460 Robert Campbell, Esq. 180 I John Mortis, Esq. - 454 Samuel Davis, Esc - 461 David Scott, Eici. - 461 Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the thanks of the Court wore voted unanimously to JAMES PATTISOV and CAIO.ULL MA JORISANKS, Esqrs. Chairman and Deputy Chairman, for their zeal and attention to the Company's interest during the last year. A few days ago, a melancholy accident occurred at Dingwall. Donald Maclennan, barley-miller at Bridgend, by going too near the machinery, got en tangled, and was so miserably bruised and mangled, that he died in great agony: On the Ist instant, aRy waggon travelling near Bosley, in Cheshiw, separated at the bolt confining the fore and after carriage together, and breaking so as to suffer the body of the carriage to come to the ground, the guard (whilst acting as coachman) was brought under the carriage, and killed on the spot. About a fortnight since, as two labourers were dig ging in a field for the purpose of planting potatoes, at Footmen, Dorset, at the Edge. of one of the launchets, about a foot deep, theyfound an earthen pot, contaip ing a Largequantity of silver coins, of the rei g n s of Edward VII. James I. Clsarles I. and Elizabeth, with few of older date, amounting together to several hundreds. Many of the colas Wan to a high state of preservation.

Several of them narrowly escaped being captured by the Insurgent privateers, and had the vessels continued on their voyage, no doubt several of them would have fallen into the hands of the Corsairs, if separated from the ships of war accompanying them. The slave trade with the coast of Africa in January and February last had been less active than usual. The.Hatiemnah Diary contains only a small list of ships which had arrived within that period, but a number of vessels were preparing to leave Cuba, and would return after having obtained fresh supplies of negroes. Friday, the old ASIA, of 74 guns, was re-christened by the name of The ALFRED, and she now lays in a state of ordinary, at Chatham ; it is expected a ship of the former name will be built in that quarter of the Globe (Asia). Extract of a letter, dated Jamaica, February 19, and received by the Hibernia, via Cove of Cork :— ~' It is reported that MACGREGOR has eight vessels at Aux Cayes, but it is not known to what part of the Main he intends to proceed. Good coffee is sell ing at 81. 6s. Bd. cash, Jamaica currency, equal to 71.75. English on board, per 1121b5." Lieutenant CHARLES JAMES GRIFFIN, aged thirty five, Commander of his Majesty's cutter SWAN, was drowned on the 7th inst. off Bridlington, Yorkshire. This melancholy accident occurred by his too great anxiety to get on board his cutter in a heavy gale, when the boat was dashed against the Pier, which caused the untimely end of the clerk and two seamen, with their Commander ; four other seamen happily escaped by clinging t 6 the piles of the Pier until boats from the shore came to their assistance : thus perished, in the prime of life, on his native shore, from an anxious and zealous performance of his duty, a gallant and enterprising Officer, who during 22 years had been in continual active service, and had escaped all the dangers of protracted war, and of every variety of climate. By his strict attention to his duty, and rigid, yet mild performance of it, he had secured the high approbation of his superior, and warm esteem of his brother Officers, who will unite with a large circle of private friends in deploring his premature and melancholy' fate. Sunday se'nnight, two brothers, George Irving,l aged 19, and William Irving, aged SZ both of An nan, were unfortunately drowned in the Inversion Canal. They had left the Canal Tavern ' with the intention of going on board the Newl an d, of which George was Master, and which was lying in the Ca nal, not many yards from the inn ; but the night being very dark, they walked into the water by mistake. Monday sennight, a young woman, in th e serv i ce of Mr. Gaasr, of Glenmoriston, intending to take a dose of salts, swallowed some deleterious stuff resem bling them, which she found in the house, and died in great agony, in less than an hOur. A daring robbery was committed on Monday se'n night, on the person of an old man of the name of Marsh, employed as Warder in Sheerness Dock-yard. He was going to his duty, about five o'clock in the' morning, and was stopped by two men, between Mile-town and Blue-town. They tied a handkerchief over his eyes, and one of them put his hand before his mouth, while the other rifledliis pockets of £6 in money. He had a watch, but it being in his waist coat pocket, escaped notice. They then put him into a piece of ground, formerly used as a military bury ing-ground, which being surrounded by a pointed fence, and the man being old and infirm, afforded them time to escape. Some time since, this same person was robbed of about N, which he used to keep at home, since which time he has always carried his money with hints of distressing be. crowd. interval, nu of . ceive and i inside or after partaking of the last solemn offices of religion, he was led to the place of execution, and in a few minutes was launched into eternity. To the lad moment he denied his guilt. After hanging tlle usA iimet . his body was givca for dissecticu. • EC„ ,E::::::::::::R*1 tln,siaEes ' ied 1 . t o h e x tr emel yue`' t ll' P c d e s : c e ci i si t au t i ' . .4:'`. y t i n triuch t,,,,,na:z., ' A The Cloth lIII L Is Theancl very Manufacturersb us i n h e a ss ve do d i ihi descriptions of goods are confe dl rtelo, - 1,1y..1..z1 1 en:it .eizt ' s " niztd , til ' are under of making another rcducti in i ' ' • th of their workmen, and every thing ue,ii ' ' s tere distressing appearance.

Some difficulty having been experienced at Mad:ll and the principal cities of Spain, in procurin: : ; , s.! fish on occasions whe n so l emn f ast . ; are observe'd,thE Spanish Government, in order that an adequate sl.p. ' ply might be obtained in future, had reduced - le duty on this commodity, which was before very hY'., to half of what it originally stood, The importatit'a at Cadiz and other ports has in consequence be.a considerable. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a darirz robbery was committed at the Green Man Tavern, in the Kent-road. The house was crowded in every part with people from the Fair, who were dancieLr. singing, &c. and in the course of the confusion a titi . Ei forced open the landlord's bed-room with a str•' chisel or crow-bar ; he then broke the locks of r::e chest of drawers, from which he took £7O in Bank- notes, twelve table, and 24 tea-spoons ; also a goid watch, some portable articles of wearing apparel, Sec amounting in the whole to the value of £l5O, with which he escaped. Saturday last, at twelve o'clock, James Bc1c1:13 was brought out for execution on the Castle-hill, at Norwich, and after praying a short time with the Chaplain, was turned off amidst an immense num- ber of spectators. He appeared perfectly resigned, but struggled repeatedly after the platform fell. The sufferer was convicted of stealing 500 yards of hempen cloth, the property of Thomas Smith, from the Ostrich public-house, Castle-acre, of which plate he was himself a native, and where his parent; Lear a reputable character. From being at the head e: a gang of lighters, he had obtained the appellation of Captain, which is supposed to have raised an unfa- vourable impression that he commanded a gang of depredators an the neighbourhood. He arcs 40 Tears of age, has left a wife near her confinement, :x4 two young children. Win. Thurrold, his accomplice in this robbery, and Wm. Cock, were both reprieved. Thursday last, William Burton was executed at Gloucester, for the murder of William Syms, late of Wollaston, in Gloucestershire, by beating him with a large stick, upon the head and face, on Ole 7th of November last, in a boat upon the river Se - vern, between Pyle and Wollaston, and afarwardc throwing the body into the said river. From the p'- r'od of sentence being passed, the short span of lire which was allotted to him was spent in vain lamen- tations for his untimely end, rather than in preparn.; his mind for the reception of those consolations wh'e' t it was in the power of religion, even in this measur e d interval, to bestow. No confession that he was the murderer of Syms escaped his lips ! The morning of his execution he was called to go to Chapel to re- ceive the Sacrament, but he refused to leave his ce ll, and it was found that he had secured the door on t. .e inside by means pl. the iron bedstead.
