labour and importance of the duties to be discharged, and , w ore worthy of the justice and liberality of the nation." The SPEAKER having inquired who seconded the motion, and no seconder appearing, Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that of course he did not rise to second the motion, so far as it might be under stood to refer to the salaries of the Secretaries of State— (A lau g h). Indeed he did not rise to second the motion at all, but merely to inform the House that a very im portant subject, which was included in the motion, was already under the serious consideration of Government. Be alluded to the salaries of the Judges—(Hear, hear.) Their salaries were not adequate; and, such as they were , so me of them were derived from the sale of offices belonging to their Courts, and others from the different pleadings and other proceedings which took place in the Courts themselves. He believed there would be but one opinion on the propriety of the Judges being so remunerated that their salaries should neither be precarious, nor derived in the smallest degree from the proceedings in their own Courts—( Hear, hear.) — With regard to the amount of the salaries, though there might possibly be some difference of opinion on this point, he believed the House would agree that the amount should be such as to induce the ablest men of .the Bar to relinquish their lucrative practice, and aspire to the honourable situations on the Bench—(Hear, hear). Ile repeated, that the subject was under the considera tion of the Government, and that he should probably soon be enabled to bring it under that of the House in a proper form. Mr. HOBHOUSE said, he should certainly oppose any motion of the nature alluded to by the Right Hon. Secretary, unless it should be connected with a measure to prevent the advancement of a Jude already on the Bsncli—( Hear, hear, from the Opposition). After a few words from the SPEAKER on the point cf o:(11., the motion fell to the ground, for want of a seconder. COUNTY COURTS. On the motion of Lord ALTHORP, the House went i:vo a Committee on the County Courts Bill. On the compensation clause, Lord ALTHORP ob served that this clause was highly objectionable. No less than `..35 persons had now claimed this compensa tion, to an amount which would expo-e the country to an enormous charge. Some of the offices, it was urged, mete put chased ; but every man wliu purchased an of purchased it with the knowledge that it might be affected in value by Parliament. The House then divided, when there appeared— l'or the Clause 55 Against it 49 Majority.- . . is *ea me • ea** .• 6 After some conversation the other clauses were agreed to, and the la pas:4.d through the Committee.

The proceedings in the House of Commons last night were interesting, not only on account of the sub jects discussed, or the way in which they were disposed of, but as exhibiting another proof of the determination, on the part of Ministers, to redeem every pledge they give, and to reduce taxation as far as possible. Colonel WoDEHOUSE, in a speech of considerable ingenuity, brought forward his promised motion for the continu ance of the remaining duty ou Salt, in order to enable his Majesty's Government to reduce the Assessed Taxes- The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that his Majesty's Government were now pledged to the repeal of the tax, and were determined to abide' i by that pledge, unless there should be a very strong feeling displayed throughout the House in favour of the tax. He had seen no symptom of any such feeling ; and he believed his Honourable Friend must himself be aware that no such feeling really existed, and would withdraw his motion. The manner in which the Huuse received this declaration of the Ministers to abide by their pledge, convinced the Honourable Member that he could not do better than to adopt the course suggested to him, and he withdrew his motion. Letters received this morning from the Havannah, dated 9th April, bring accounts of an embargo having taken place there previous to the sailing of an expedi tion, consisting of one fzigate and several armed transports, with troops on board for Peru, but their real dmination was supposed to be for Colombia. The Fiend) Papers of Tuesday have reached us, but tley contain no intelligence of importance. The Journal Debats again adverts to the false reports about naval preparations in France, and says very properly, that some of the English Journ• .s " have become at length ridiculous with their Fre-Ich fleets, which they vere seeing everywhere." The Sittings of the Chambers on Monday preterit no feature of interest. the report of the Commission on BENJAMIN . CONSTANT'S eligibility had not beea pre sented, as it was expected, but the Quotidienne affirms that it is favourable to his claims. The Moniteur: of Tuesday contains three Royal Ordon nances. The first makes some concession to the manu facturers of copper wire (pure, gilt, or silvered), who had petitioned for the privilege of having in their ma nufactories the requisite machines for drawing the cop per into wire. Their petition is granted in part, they being allowed by this Ordonnance to have machines of their own for drawing certain sorts of wire, on condi tions specified in the Ordonnance; but the manufacturers of other kinds must still continue to take the bars of silver or silver gilt to the Royal Establishments to be drawn. The second Ordonnance relates to a Society of In surance against Hail, which is permitted to begin its operations as soon as it has a fund of 3,300,000 francs; by a preceding Ordonnance it was to be six millions, but that was 011 the supposition that it would extend i over twenty departments, whet eas it at present embraces only eleven departments. The third Ordonnance approves the Statutes of the Society founded at Paris in 1802, for the encourage• ment of the national industry. These papers contain no political news of importance;l for we can scarcely regard as news, a revival, with ad- I ditions, in the Journal des Debats, of the affair between VALDES and SANTA CRUZ, in Peru. Another version of it appears in the Eloile, modelled after the last Madrid fa.hion, and evidently distorted to answer the pur poses of stock-jobbing. We need not occupy our co lumns with the details. TUE AItMY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Thomson's Hotel, Cavendish-square, May 13, 1824. Sm—Enclosed is lieutenant-Colonel Warrtates short account of a late occurrence, together with contradictions of some erroneous reports now prevalent. Colcnel %I/mm(l4 would himself have waited upon you, but is unfortunately confined to hb bed, by a vio lent inflammation on his chest and stomach. I am, Sir, /our obedient Servant, WILLIAM BATTIER. " LIEUT.-COL. WESTERN'S AUTHENTIC ACCOUNT or THE DUEL BETtYLIEN LORD LONDONDERRY •ND MR. RATTIER, WITH A CONTRADICTION OF FALSE REPORTS. A meeting took place on Thursday the Gth inst. between the Marquis of LONDONDERKY and Mr. BATTIER, in consequence of a message sent by the latter. The Marquis was attended by Sir IL llAatnacc, M.P. and Mr. liaarma by Lieut.-Colonel Wxersax. " It was determined by the seconds that the parties should fire together, on the word being given; in consequence of which agree- ment the Marquis fired, but without effect, and at the same instant Mr. Bart MR'S pistol missed fire. The seconds then interfered, and after some conversation between them (the seconds) the affair ter minated. It is necessary to contradict somefulae reports which have arisen out of this affair, and have found their waT into the public _prints. Some of the Journals have stated, that Lord Lormortortav, after having fired, and on a conversation ensuing between the se conds, exclaimed, that he' came to fight, and not to make explana , lions.' Lord LONDONDELRY never used suck or similar words. " It has also been reported that Lord LONDONDERRY, or Sir H. HARDINGE, on his part denied the whole, or a greater part, of what &rums had published in his statements. The only denial made by Sir H. ilmionscr, on the part of his Lordship, being as to the fact of his Lordship's having seen a certain eicial letter, written by command of his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, censuring the conduct of the Officers of the 10th Hussars towards Mr. Daman. " Another erroneous report states, that Mr. &wee was unpro vided with pistols—the fact was otherwise; Colonel WESTERN, (Mr. BATUMI'S friend) having brought his own pistols with him. (Signed) " C. M. T. WESTERN. " Quarter before Two o'Clock, sus. 12th May, 1824. " I chewed and read the above statement to Sir H. HARDING?, in his room at the Ordnance Office, and he adotilkd its accuracy. (Signed) " C. M. T. WESTERN. (A true Copy.) " WILLIAM BATTIER." The Ist division of the 01st Regiment of Infantry has arrived on board the Indian trader transport, at Cork, from Plymouth. The 2d division of the 34th Regiment of Foot will embark, about the 17th inst. at Portsmouth, fur Dublin. _ . The 2d division of the 94th Regiment of Infantry is ordered to embark forthwith at Greenock, for Gibraltar. The 7th Regiment of Light Dragom.s, stationed at present at Hampton Court, has frequent field-days on Hounslow Heath, un der the inspection of the Marquis of Awoutsza, preparatory to the Cavalry Review, which, it is understood, will take place in the course of the summer. The payment of three months half-pay to the Reduced Officer's of his Majesty's Land Forces, due the 24th of March, including those heretofore borne upon the Irish Establishment, will, from the 12th instant, be payable only on Monday, Tuesday, and Wed nesday in each week.

WINDSOR, MAY 19.—This afternoon, at three o'clock, his MAJESTY, accompanied by the Marquis of CONYNO HAM and Sir W. KNIGHTON, and attended by outriders, left the Castle in his travelling carriage, and proceeded through the town for the Royal Lodge. The KING and Suite, after taking refreshments and viewing the altera tions, returned to the Castle to dinner. The Duchess of CLARENCE paid a visit yesterday to the Duchess of KNNT, at her residence at Kensington. The Earl and Countess of LONSDALE gave a grand dinner yesterday, to the two Princes SANOOSYNO, the Earl of Wear- WORLAIID and Lady GEORGIANA FANS, Mr. and Mrs. ARBUTHNOT, Mr. and Lady ANN Beexerr, Colonel and Ludy ELIONOZA Low- VIES, &c. at their house, in Charles-street, Berkeley-square. The University Club, in Suffolk-street, have deter mined to admit as Honorary Members such distinguished Mem bers of Foreign Universities a 3 the Committee may think proper. The Ball given at ALmaces on Wednesday was most brilliantly attended. Dancing commenced about eleven o'clock, and continued with great spirit until four yesterday morning. There were present upwards of 400 persons of the first distinction. The seventh and last Blackheath Assembly for the season, Monday last, was fashionably and numerously attended. Our Readers will be glad to hear, that none of the young Officers who won the rowing match on Wednesday have suffered by their extraordinary exertions. Manly sports like these, combining at once bodily vigour and mental energy, deserve en couragement and respect ; they guarantee our safety and superiority in time of war, and ate a noble substitute for the effeminate plea sures of the saloon, or debasing occupations of the gaming-table. A curious circumstance occurred in the quadrangle of the Royal Exchange yesterday. As the workmen were lowering the statue of Charles I. front one of the niches on the North side, for the purpose of cleaning, &c. the bead came off, close to the shout den. In this state the beaclle.ss trunk was taken to the raatt.aty. MASQUERADE AT THE ARGYLE ROOMS. • • There was a Grand Masquerade at the Argyle Rooms last night, which was very nutherouslyattended. The bills announced that the entertainment was got, up. tinder the superintendance of a Committee of twelve Noble men ; but, by whoritsoever the arrangements were directed, thee were in general tasteful, and in every way appropriate to such an exhibition. No pains, in fact, were wanting on the part of the conductors to afford amusement and to contribute to the general hilarity of the scene. The characters were as usual varied by every possible shade.. There were Soldiers and Sailors, Tinkers and Tailors; Patlanders and New Zealanders; Esqui maux and pigeon toes ; Jews and Gentiles; Gyracs ; Match-women and Flower-girls; Quakers and Bakers; School-boys and School-girls, &c. &c. and all these in duplicate, triplicate, and quadruplicate. Many of them were only distinguished in their career by the dresses; which they wore; but others evinced a good .deal of humour, and sustained their parts with great ability.— There were several Mall Flagons, who out-did the ori ginal—and these proved unceasing tormentors to one or two excellent representatives of the never-to be-forgotten Tenth, whose exquisite smsibility afforded a fund of amusement. Of Clowns and Harlequin; there was a never-ending list, but these only spewed their activity in demolishing an extraordinary quantity of refreshments, which were very liberally supplied. But amongst all. the characters the most remarkable and best supported was JOhathan W. one of MATHEWS'S recent importation; from the land of tobacco, gouging and guessing. He was the very person described by MATHrws, and quite ' as frank, original, ridiculous, and amusing, as any Yan kee could possibly be. Good humour reigned triumphant till a late hour this morning. The Supper, which was excellent, was well attended; and the wines of Mr. WRIGIIT, of the Haymarket, the Purveyor on this occasion, were absorbed with an avidity which spoke volumes in their favour. Here all was real, genuine, and substantial. No masks were admitted on the table. Excellent bands continued to play during the night , in the different apartments, and quadrilles and country dances were everywhere in motion. There was, also, a very good exhibition of the Eintoccini at the end of the saloon, which assisted in varying the entertainments. It was calculated at one time, that there were not less than fifteen hundred perbons present.—The boxes were crowded with private parties. HUNTINGDON ELECTION. HUNTINGDON, MAY 12. This delightful and sequestered little town, famed as the birth-place of Oliver Cromwell, has keen thrown into a state of great bustle and agitation, on account of the forth coming election, which is fixed for to-morrow. There having been no election contest in Huntingdon for nearly a century, the old and young await the event with similar feelings of curiosity and anxiety. Mr. Wells, who intends offering himself in opposition to the Sandwich interest, appears to be the popular candidate; but the friends of Mr. Stuart have no doubt of his re turn. The number of burgesses is .not more than 160. In the meantime there is a very active paper war car ried on by both parties. The walls of the town too, are covered with various witty inscriptions in chalk. Mr. Stuart, who is a considerable East India Pro prietor, paid his respects to the borough in one address, in which the omission of the word .1 iudependent" be fore a burgesses," is understood to have given great offence to several electors. In addition to the Addresses of both parties, there have been a multiplicity of squibs. The following are perhaps the best : The Mayor and Aldermen, we know, Were never over civil ; And now we've tipt their pride a go, They wish us at the devil! REPLY. The worthy Mayor and Aldermen, Secure from little spite, toutemptuous smile at snarling curs, That bait, but cannot bite! THE KNACKER'S LAMENT. Tune—" Sweet Kitty Clover." Repeat. Sweet Jemmy Stuart, he bothers me so, Oh, oh, oh, oh! Ilia bows are so graceful, he wins them all, And leaves me alone to scold and to bawl ! Oh, sweet Jemmy, &c. My Sammy, in figure, is rather low, Oh, oh, &c. But where is the man whose eloquent tale, Can procure nice haunches from Syston vale !"' Oh, my Sammy, &c. But Mik'i and •Georgy, they do drink so, Oh" &c. If we pay off their bills we shall never be free, But must live ever after on Radical tea! 011, Miky, &c. Oh, me! poor Charley, what shall I do, Oh, oh, &c. Our fizzles fall short, our wit is gone, And we're picked as clean as any bare bone! Oh, me, poor C'hatley, &c. Oh, Sammy, Sammy, where shall I go. Oh, oh, &c. But if once I get clear of this terrible rout, yield myself quietly up to the gout! Oh, Sammy, &c. HUNTINGDON ELECTION, MAY 13.—This clay the election took place, when Sir Richard Bickerton pro posed Mr. Stuart, and was seconded by Sir John Arun del!. Mr. Wells was proposed by Mr. William Hatfield, and seconded by Mr. Charles Dawes.—Close of the po— at five o'clock. Mr. Stuart - 56 Mr. Wells - The poll is expected to hnish this day. •- The scat of Sir John Thorold. Mr. W. preserving his Ramp den-like character, sent a fine haunch back again. - 12 In the island of St. Vincent, the Governor (Sr C. Borsasaa), the Members of Council, and the Members of the House of Assembly, have come forward In the handsomest manner in support of the Wesleyan Missions. Sir CHAMAS subscribed 201. ; 'the Members of Council 161. 81. or 41. each; the Members of As ' sembly 161.81. and 51. each, and various other sums, amounting in all to 6891. currency. Among the congregation at the Floating Chapel, on Tuesday, was the widow of the late Rev. JOHN SHIT'', of Demerara. She appeared to be in ill health, and as one who had suffered greatly from the calamities which ended in the death of her persecuted husband. As soon as she was known to be the relict of that Missionary,. she received the kindest attentions from the Committee of the Society, from the Ministers of Religion who were on board, and particularly from the Ladies, who appeared greatly to commiserate, and to - wish to soothe her sufferings. Mrs. SMITH was accompanied by her. friend Mrs. ELLIOTt (the wife of the other Missionary who was at Demerara), who had been her companion and consoler under the almost unparalleled' distresses which had fallen upon.her se heavily, and who accom panied het in her voyage from the colony, BOW-STREET-THIS DAY. A question of some importance to the public came on at the above office this day. On the 4th inst. the inspector of Covent Garden met a person with whit was then termed a horse and cart, without name Or number,and brought him to the office, where the case was.heard by Mr. thus, and the party fined. Subse quently, Mrs. Sims, of Lambeth-road, applied in the office, and stated, that the vehicle was not within the meani-g of the Act, it in reality not being a cart, and she paying ditty for it. This day the panics appeared before the Magistrates,w ben the case was argued, and Mrs. Simc produced her license, from which it appeared, that the vehicle was not described as a cart. Mrs. Sims also Jdded, that the horse did not belong to her, she merely let - the truck, or what ever it might be described, out to hire at is. pe:- hour. Mr. II ‘i.t s was of opinion the forreer information must be quadied, and directed the fine costs, and expenses of coach-hire, amounting in all to lf. 11s. 6 d. to be raturned by the Inspector, which was ..ccordingly done. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-ROOM, TATTF.RSALL'S, 'MAY l3. The Derby and Oaks, at F.psont, .1 5 and 4, and double events, claimed nearly the whole attenti.E. lf the room, which was well tilled by its usual attendants. The lion -..-ter St. Leger was, as is generally thL case at this period of the !knurl, but little talked of. On the whole, a good deal of betting took place, and the fol kming is an exact statement of the present odda; IS to 4 agst Serial 21 to 5 agar Reformer 1.5 to 2 agst Elephant 17 to 2 agst Grenadier BMW.

Thy *wind prevailed during the day veering to S. F„ The time to spare was decided to he 11 minutes. The rowers took odds to a great amount. None of the Gentlemen have experienced any ill effects from their great exertions. The match was for £lOO, and not £lOOO. BOX:NG. The Fancy met on Wednesday evening at Belcher's, to chat over the disappointment of the preceding day. Sampson and Langa:i were present, when the latter charged the former with being aeces sary to cutting the ropes 'in his tight at Worcester with Spring. Sampson denied the charge, and declared Langan to he an impostor. and only put in requisition a second time to ascertain what the X min could do with Spring. Langan used the epithet cur, when SANIVS , III prepared to fight, challenging him at any time for 2001. A battle had nearly ensued; but Langan was pet suaded to retire. The late disappointment wag then freziy canvassed, from which it appeared that neither Josh [Nilson nor Sampson was to blame, and some .circumstances. elicited which developed the roguery usually practised ou such occasions. PIGEON SHOOT 1 NG. _ A snatch for 200 sovereigns took place on Wednesday, at Wood ford corner, Windsor Fotest between eleven of the best shots from Hampshire, and eleven front Wiltshire, at seven birth, 21 yards front the trap.

Tue pedestrian did the first two mileS and a half in a quarter of an hour, to win a bet, and he reached the twenty-five mile stone from Hyde Park, in-gate, in three hours and fifty minutes, in the best condi tion. lie returned back to Coltihrook, without halting, within winning time, and he reached the Park-gate at a quarter of an hour before seven, winning by that time, and playing with the match The Fouith Edition of the Memoirs of Captain Rock, the celebrated Irish Chieftibt, with some Account of his Ancestors, written by •Hiniklf, was published this day. TRIALS,—That clever anti successful Novelist, the author of " Favouriteof Nature," has just produced another Work under the above singular, though according to the story, czir rect Title; and from the avidity with which this novel is purchased by the Public generally, as well as for the use of the Libraries, there is goad reason to suppose that it is nu less a " favourite " than its fortunate predecessor. THE OUTCASTS.—Such has been the influence of the popular Scotch Novels, that hot merely their style has been imitated by Foreign Romance Writers, but the history of our own country has been ransacked by them, in order to find a period that has mac already been seited on, for the display cf their genius. Thus we find the Baroness de la Motte Fouque has constructed an interest ing Tale, called" The Outcasts," out of some striking events that happened in the early part of the reign of Elizabeth, and in which the hapless Lady Jane Grey figures as a principal .character.— The subject is well chosen, and, as the Translation is spirited and elegant, there is good reason to expect it will be nearly as popular as its yrototi i rpes. A Gentleman in London has received a letter from a friend at Naples, dated May 6, 1828, from which the following is an extract:--" I must turn your attention to the following—Cap tain Kranshaar, of the 4th Regiment of the Line, in the service of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of /Unita, aged 44 years ha , : been bald ever since the age of 18. He was recommended to try ROWLAND% MACASSAR On., by h Gentleman who had already expe rienced its good effects. He bought sonic of me of the last I re ceived from England, and persevered in applying it. In less than two months his hair grew on the bald parts, and is now very thick. The Captain is highly pleased, and has spread its fame. I assure you the demand for that article is very great. I must beg of yoo. to send me a supply without loss of time."—The above extract is another corroboration additional to a hundred others, of the infal lible properties which Rowland's Macassar Oil possesses in regent.- rating the Hair. The particulari of this astonishing fact may be fully known by application to the Proprietors, 90, Hatton-garder.. RICH UPHOLSTERY SILKS, &c. COOPER and SON, Upl'ollerS, No. 93, Bishopsgate street Within, respectfully solicit the qstet tion of the Nobility and Gentry to the superb and elegant manufacture of Silk Damasks, Tabourets, &c. which, in consequence of the reduced Duty on Silk, they are now enabled to oWer on terms so comparatively moderate as must establish this magnificent description of Furniture for Drawing rooms, Boudoirs, Saloons, &c. in preference to the inferior articles hitherto in use. Families who prefer the rich and beautiful style of the Ancient Gothic, will find some handsome spe cimens in that particular order; anti as C. and Son are the real manufacturers of the articles sold in their Ware-rooms, and employ none but first-rate workmen, they arc enabled, for splendour, taste, and soldity, to compete with any establishment in the metropolis, and (they with confidence affirm) at prices decidedly advantageous. The papering and decorative style of work continued as usual.
