The fox was unkennelled at Jerviston, two miles and a half from Hamilton, from that he took towards Stevenston Moor, and from thence he pointed his course to Oeyland ; then tried the Earths of Knowble Burn, crossing over to Sir James Stewart's woods and policy ; leaving that, he made his point up a burn towards Shotts Kirk ; he there took to the open moors, and was killed in a plantation in the extremity of the Shotts Parish,— This chase was anore like a race than a hunt; and only a couple and a half of the hounds could be seen, and a tarrier belonging to the hunt was the pilot to the sportsmen. The whole of the I chase was without a check; and It is said by the sportsmen that the fox was one of. the finest ever seen in Lanarkshire. The hounds were so exhausted that they could only kill their fox, and could not eat him : the greatest part were lying beside him. PEDESTRIANISM. Couriartox or rna cmitaarrr Panarraws PaaroamANca avast arcoanro.--The 600 miles in ten days, in which task a Mr. Wativvroaru, an Oxfordshire yeoman, failed on the 29th ult. after having performed 456 miles in eight days, was completed on Wednesday night, at eleven o'clock, by Mr. Howsan, at Kaaresford, who walked over a two-milt piece of ground, Weirruoans having engaged to touch on Sixteen Counties.— This match is beyond the compass of the powers of any horse, and no task any thing like it has ever before b i een recorded of man. The pedestrian finished his work well on the first six days, and he had done 390 miles (30 more than his ground.) On Sun day he began to flag with swollen legs, but he did 56 miles. He was 18 hours doing 57 miles on Monday, and bathing bad re leased hint in some measure. On Tuesday he was 19 hours per forming 52 miles, and he was not expected to be able to go on the last day from excessive fatigue. He had 45 miles to win the match, and he started at it at two o'clock in the morning, pro ceeding at first under three miles an hour. At four o'clock, r. st. l he went to bed, having done 51 miles. He bad 14 miles to do in eight hours, and he rose again at seven o'clock, and won the match soon after eleven o'clock, distressed in a manner not easily. described. It was for 200 guineas. CORN EXCHANGE, MARIC4AIII 3 , FEE. ls.—Our ,market was well supplied with Wheat from Suffolk this morning, and that of fine quality was taken off' at last Monday's prices.—We had a large arrival of Barley from the above county, as well as from Nor folk, yet prime samples were readily disposed of on the same terms as on Wednesday ; but the inferior sorts are still unsaleable.—Beans are 1 s. per quarter dearer.—ln Peas and Oats no alteration. THE AR3II". The Army Estimates for the year 1818 have been printed, by order of the House of Commons. The to tat number, including officers and non-commisioned officers, is 133,539 ; from which are to be deducted the troops in France, and the regiments for service in India, amounting to 42,892. There will then remain exclusive of corps, &c. intended for reduction, 1 90,617. To this last number is to be added, corps I ordered home from India, viz. 4,299, and charges for corps to be reduced in 1818, viz. 4,200, making together 99,146. From these again are to be deduc ted the corps ordered home from India, 4,299, and there remains to be provided for in 1818,-a total of 94,847 men, including officers. The total expense of providing for this army is estimated at 6,494,2901. 10s. 4cL of which 5,313,2321.95. is to be defrayed by Great Britain, and 1,181,0581. Is. 4d. by Ireland. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sta—The inference to be drawn from the statement which ap peared in the Seal of the sth instant, respecting the Commis 'Mutat Department in North America, is, that this Department Is favoured, by being too numerously employed. Without enter jog at this moment into a review of the necessity which may -exist for dm employment of so many persons, I trust to your Impartial/4pm refute this supposition of favearit ism, by giving pub licity to thefollowing facts :—the pay and allowance of the Com missariat date been lately reduced in the following proportions : Deputy Commissary-General, 465. to 4is. 6d. per day—reduc tion, 38 per cent. AssistantCommissary-General, ads. 3d. to 14‘ 3d. per day— ceduetiasks.44 per oespt. - Deploy :Kant-Commissarrtreneral, 17s. 6d. to Oa. 6d. per day —reduction, 46 per cent. The minor duties of the CommlsearLtt, and which have been heretofore attended to by the Clerks, (whose names did not ap pear in the Army List, and who have been lately discharged without any permanent provision,) are now attended to by the Junior Officers, and who, in consequence of this additional duty, have been favoured by a diminution of 46 per cent. from their original income.—Had your Correspondent fired his charge of favouritism direct at the Storekeeper-General's Department, the Junior, most inconsiderable, and yet, most unaccountably, the most liberally requited Department of the Army, whether Civil or Military, he would have hit the target id the bull's eye. Pray, why is not the pay of the Storekeeper-General's Depart ment stated in the Army Last ?—1 am, Sir, /cc. February JOSE imam& RIBBON TRADE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sift—Being engaged in the various branches of the Silk Trade, and particularly in the Ribbon Ma- 1 nufactory, I feel it imperatively my duty to notice a leeslative measure now in progress through the House of Commons, and which, if carried into effect, must seriously injure all persons interested in the prosperity of the Ribbon Trade. I mean Mr. WYNNE'S Bill " to prohibit the wearing of Cockades at Elections." How far such a Bill is wise and politic, when com pared to a septennial consumption of a British Manu facture in amount not less than iBQ,OOO, when trade in general is only just reviving from a depression so generally and so severely felt by all classes of society, is a subject which calls for the immediate and ma ture consideration of all those interested in this par ticular manufacture, and it is hoped some spirited measures will be promptly adopted to prevent the Bill in question from being passed into a law. Feb. 10, 1818. I am, &c. P. T. R. COTTON FACTORIES.' The following is a copy of the Petition presented to the House of Commons, by Sir ROBERT PEEL, Bart. on Tuesday, the 10th instant, in behalf of the Working Cotton Spinners: " TO sulnonouariate sum commis or tax mum) mows. OW OSSA? =MIN ANSI 1111:LUID, a 2111 LbtrILIAL TiaLL BOINT ASIZKILZD. " The humble Petition of the undersigned Persons, being Lsbourers, above Sixteen Tears of Age, employed in Cotton Spinning Manufactories, established in Man- chewer, and the immediate Neighbourhood. " Skeweth—That your Petitioners, and others of their de scription are, agreeably to the prevailing custom of Cotton Fac tories, generally engaged in work, at the mills of their employers, front fourteen to fifteen hours (including the time allowed for dinner) every day in the week, except Saturday, when the work ing hours are somewhat reduced. 11 That this extended labour, performed as it usually is, in rooms ill ventilated, often overheated, and greatly incommoded by dust and cotton flyings, is attended with the most injurious consequences to the general health of the labourers, as a large portion of them, from their own lamentable experience, can abundantly prove. " That if, in such a state of long and pernicious confinement, those who are subject to it live to an age when the services of other working classes become most efficient and valuable, they are generally too much enfeebled to continue with effect their employment during the requisite hours : a misfortune not unfre quently succeeded by another of a still more direct and calami tous nature; the Masters, in the present circumstances of the trade, feeling it an object to obtain the greatest quantity of work from the same number of operative individuals in the shortest pe riod, and abler hands are thus exclusively and generally preferred. " That your Petitioners, in representing their unfortunate si tuation, beg leave to observe, that they also feel the unhappy condition of young children working in Factories, who, in many instances, are connected by the dearest ties of relationsisip, with your Petitioners, and from the length and unwholesome charac— ter of such employment, manifest early appearances of defor mity its their limbs, and all the other evils of sickly and im paired constitutions. " That your Petitioners entertain no hope of redress whatever except from the humane interposition of Parliament; because some Masters will always be found desirous of keeping their hands at work as long as possible, and others, better disposed, are unavoidably led to the adoption of this destructive example, that their Yarns may not be brought to the market upon more unfavourable terms : " That your Petitioners, who have for the last two years che rished the expectation of relief from the Legislature, cannot ade quately express the concern they felt, in learning, upon the con clusion of the Last Sessions, that no provisions bad then been made for this purpose ; and they now, therefore, deem it expe dient to submit the peculiar hardships of their case to the pro tecting wisdom of this Honourable House. " Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly pray, that a law may be passed to restrict the time of actual labour in Cotton Factories to ten hours and a half each day; so as to allow, within the ordi nary space of twelve hours, half an hour for breakfast, and an hour for dinner—a regulation which was originally embraced in Sir ROIZIL7 Pam's Bill, and is of general observance in other employments much he. prejudicial to health than those of your Petitioners." By ancient custom the MASTER of the ROLLS is en titled to Two Pipes of Wine, to be chosen by the King's Butler ; therefore, whether his Honour begins the duties of his office with good or bad spirits must depend on the taste of another man. A reform here is exj)ected, on the model of the present arrangement, by Fortune's Butler, BISH, which enables the Hol ders themselves (of Three Blanks) to choose 12 Pipes of the finest Port Wine in the Kingdom, and in pro portion for Shares, besides the Three Prizes of 20,0001. the 97 other Capitals, &c. &c. in this Lottery, which begins the 4th of MARCH.

The following most distressingsaseh extracted from a letter written to a person in this town & " Quebec, October 20, 1217. " Since our arrival in Montreal, in the ship Montreal, Richard M'Fie and I, thinking to better ourselves, left the vessel, and, getting a small boat, departed from Montreal to seek better for tune. We were three days and three nights before we reached Quebec ; there we were six days before we found employment ; we engaged with one Captain Maxwell, in a schooner bound to the Labrador shore. We made a very good voyage, and were going off for the Mediterranean, to make our market along with the same Captain, who had now taken a liking to us both. But, alas ! on our passage through the Straits of Belleisle, we encoun tered a hard gale,- lying to under bare poles for three days and three nights ; the vessel strained herself so much that she sprung a leak; we were obliged to bear up all that night, and were drove on a lee-shore, the man looking out being unable to see the land till we came close upon it, the mewing and drifting being tremendous. The look-out man now jumped to the fore. scuttle, saying,' Bear a hand up, men, for we are close to land.' Before I had time to get out of bed, she struck on a rock, and we (the watch below), before I had time to get on my boots, were up to our knees in water on the forecastle. We had just time to cut the boat loose and get into it before the vessel went down. We got safely ashore; bat from theintensity of the cold (it being the 23d November), four of the crew perished co the island. The third day after, the Captain and the rest of us took the boat, and pulled across to the main land ; by my hold ing fast the oar, I could not bring my hands to any feeling.—. The Captain soon after prished on the beach. After this we vet off (Richard, myself, and the cook), over the saow drifts, and without any provisions, except what berries we could pick up here and there, for thirteen days, when we arrived at a place called Cape Carpoon, at an old fisherman's hut, an hundred and fifty miles from the wreck. This old man put our hands and feet into cold water to thaw them—but this had no effect ; in cutting off boots, and trying to get off the stockings, the skin came off both Richard and myself. During this time the cook c-It off to save our li ves -- w hi t h was performed died, and there was no relief for us two, but th a t our arms and Christmas - day last, by a man w h o , w i t h hi s knife, acted the doctor :4r amputating both our legs and arms ; legs should as w be n as he eeeid,e bet poor Richard, in about twenty days after, also gave up the I ghost, lamenting his hard fate, but saying he would die content ed if one person survived to inforin our frierds at home of our sad disasters. Our legs were cut off about an inch above the ancle,:and our arms at the wrist.
