~~ 'V TO THE EVENING STAR. Spirit of Beauty ! that from yon fair Star Unveirst thy silver lamp of purest ray, Can'st thou discern from thy soft shrine afar. The joys and sorrows of the child of clay ? East thou no ear, amid the shades of night, When all is silent, save the ♦oice of grief, That still thou shinest on serene and bright, O'er all thy hosts, enthrou'd refulgent chief ? Suspended there, Oh, Monitor of woe, The one, the precious Hope, in thee appears; • Shine on, shine on, nor let tby splendour know The transient sadness of this - vale of tears ! • Time has not mirr'd thy brightneft, but his wing Has rarer above thy path ; and thou mast fade, Even as the dewy spangle of the Spring, That revels in the flowret's purple shade ! And Hope is not immortal, but her light Ends with our life alone ; the guiding brand, The cloud by day, the pillar of the night, That leads and leaves us in the Promised Lind ! Wahnwr•road. E. M. INUNDATIONS IN THE: NETHERLANDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Mu.s.matspear, Mummy 4. SlR—The high winds that have recently prevailed,have caused great ravages in the low countries, and fre quently interrupted all communication between the Southern and the Northern Provinces. Yesterday, the waters of the Meuse rose so high, that great part of Rotterdam was under water ; and it was a curious sight enough to see the boors wheeling the inhabitants in barrows, from one part of the town to another. I left it at ten at night, by the mail : we crossed the Meuse, • not without danger. On arriving at Dort, we found the Meuse, which we had again to cross, had over flowed its banks; it blew a hurricane, and the courier hesitated to cross ; I succeeded in o eercoming his fears ; •we had nearly been swamped, when the courier ob-, served, in a hasty manner, " Recollect, Mynheer, if we are drowned, it is your own fault, so don't blame me." We arrived at Dort in safety. ; the flood had reached the streets, which are at least ten feet above high water mark. We reached this place at two in the morning, but neither the skippers nor the courier dared attempt to cross the Ilollands Deep. We made up beds of hay in the hay-loft, and threw ourselves down to rest, the tempest beating over our beads with extreme violence. It is now ten o'clock, and the gale is still blowing tre mendously, and the skippers assure me that they have sever known the water so high since 1765. The cou rier is amusing himself and our landlady in reading Dutch poetry, to which she lends a most attentive ear. I understand she leads the ton here, and is regarded as an elegarte—a - nice mob cap fits close to her head; she has a short jicket, that comes down to the loins, the lower part bulged out with, I should suppose, a dozen - petticoats, the outer one is a glazed black stuff, black %worsted stockings, and black cotton-velvet slippers complete her dress: She wears, hear it ye Ladies of London and Paris, a black velvet reticule, surmounted by a huge silver snap, and recollecting that it was in tended to replace the vulgar pocket, she wisely sus pends it by a hook to her a a;st, and there it dangles on her right side, in all the pride of boorish majesty. If the wind continues 24 hours longer it is feared that the whole of this province will be submerged, the da mage already done to the dykes must be very consi derable. The courier, seeing me write, has made a very shrewd observation., viz.—That if ss e cannot cross the Hollands Deep, you cannot get the letter; so if it. does not come you will know the reason! A person has just arrived from Dort ; the whole of the town is under water ; it is about four feet deep in the -High-street, great apprehensions are entertained for the safety of the town, the water is rising every minute; it blows a hurricane: FOUR o'CLocx, P.H.—The water has risen eight feet since ten o'clock. We are completely insulated. I write on a spot of ground forming a small elevation, now an Isle, of not more than 100 yards in length and about sixty in breadth. If this night resemble the last, we shall all to-morrow have ceased to be. The Hollands Deep communicates with the Bies Bosch, where, in 1421, seventy-two villages were sub merged, and the water is now higher than at that period : if the wind continue to blow with such violence from the N.W. half Holland will be under water ; and as the sea dykes run great danger, if they fail us, the sea will soon reconquer its ancient dominion. My companions, principally fishermen, affect to despise the danger, but their joy is less turbulent, no jokes now set the table in a roar, they all rush to the door every five minutes to witness the progress of the floods:— They say, if the worst happen they have their vessels, which the sea seems resolved to tear from their moor ings ; one has broken away and sunk, with three per sons on board, before our eyes. The hay bed in which I slept last night is now under . water. We are all in a wooden house, which would not resist the torrent five minutes. Six, P.m.—The wind has changed and the waters fallen two feet ; my neighbours resume their noisy mirth. Emmy o'CLocx—The danger is past, and we are going to cross over. A dividend of 18s. in the pound has been declared on the estate of Messrs. PEARCE and WILLIAPdS, Bankers, Merthyr Tydvil, who some time since were unfortunately Bankrupts.

VIZ ANTIGUA !MTh ON TAE 6TH JANUARY. The trial of John James Amory, 14. who shot the late G. Forbes, Esq. in a duel at St. Kitt's, on the Sd ult. took place en the 17th. The cause of the quarrel has been righly conjectured, though not hitherto positively stated.—The St. Kitt's papers give the proceedings of the trial at length ; and the circumstances connected with it. Mr. Forbes, who has thus untimely fallen a victim to those false notions of honour by which some weakly endeavour to justify that horrible practice, and Mr. Amory, were (as is generally the case) on terms of the closest intimacy. The latter entertaining an affection for a Lady in the neighbouring island of Nevis, confi dentially disclosed it to his friend. Unfortunately, the deceased, some time after, imbibed a similar feeling for the same Lady, and made a like confidential ditclosure. It was then agreed between them, that neither should take any steps to obtain the Lady's approbation, without communicating his intention to the other. Mr. Amory designing to visit Nevis to declare himself, and ascer tain the sentiments of the Lady, asked the deceased to accompany him ? which be declined, and being asked again, on the same morning, whether he intended going? he replied, " No, I don't think I shall." Mr. Amory was shortly afterward informed that his friend was gone to Nevis, and in a few hours received the follow ing letter: max Assoue—l pledged myself to take no step in the at tainment of the object we both have in view, without apprizing you so far of the same, as to give you a fair advantage in the pursuit. I have every reason to apprehend, from circumstances that have recently come to my knowledge, that there is a doubt entertained. of the sincerity of my attentions, in a quarter .where I am most anxious it should be otherwise considered. 'Tis consequently an act of justice to my own feelings, and due to the Lady, to remove any unfavourable impression of this nature, without delay. 44 I have hitherto acted undisguisedly and generously towards yuu, in a transaction in which, unfortunately, we are most truly and deeply interested. I think I ant not swerving from the same line of conduct in adopting the earliest means in my power to erect the view mentioned. I shall go no further } and if, after lam known to be serious, you are elected on the occasion, I cannot feel myself deeply disappointed. Whatever our fate may be, respec tively, you may always calculate upon the sincere friendship of, " Your's very truly, " GEO. FORBES." Conceiving that this conduct was ungenerous, when he met the deceased (who had returned) on the 2d of November, he passed him without notice; remarking afterwards, that he had cut Mr. Forbes' acquaintance, it was communicated to thit Gentleman, when some ex pressions fell from him which produced the following : " November 2, 1824. Sig—By the tenour of your letter addressed to me un Satur day last, I discover that you have committed a breach of promise, in consequence of which I can no longer be upon terms with an individual who has acted so unlike a Gentleman. " I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, "JOHN JAMES AMORY." This occasioned a message from Mr. Forbes, whose, untimely death was the consequence. Several Gentlemen of the highest respectability gave evidence as to the honourable manner in which Mr. A. had acted throughout the unfortunate business, the conciliating disposition he evinced, and the fair and ho nourable conduct observed towards the deceased ; and the Jury returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. INQUEST ON CHEVALIER DORFIEULLE. .--..111P..--- Monday last an Inquest was held at the Black Horse, in Queen street, Seven Dials, on the body of the above named Gentleman. Cornelius 11 , ogan, of No. 4, Queen-street, assistant in a linen drapery w arehouse, deposed, that deceased had been a lodger at his house about two years, and con. ducted himself very regularly, but was remarkabl y dis tant in his manner ; witness seldom saw him, and he never observed deceased otherwise than sober; always undcrstood that deceased was very particular, and con. ,ceived him to be a very remarkable man. Witness never heard deceased's name during his lifetime ; he de. sired to be denied if any one inquired for him, and let ters were occasionally left for him, but without any ad dress. Deceased would not admit any one into his room; about seven or eight months ago deceased left his lodgings in consequence of witness having insisted on having deceased's room cleaned, but he returned at the end of a week, Witness is much (torn home, and bad not seen deceased for the fortnight previous to his death. Deceased endeavoured to avoid the sight of every one; he paid his rent, five shillings a week, re gularly, and at times would borrow small sums of wit ness, which he punctually returned, or apologized it he exceeded the time fixed for repayment. Between two and three.o'clock on Sunday afternoon last, witness was informed by Mrs. Nl'Donald, the mother of the boy who latterly went on errands for deceased, that she be lieved the Frenchman was dead, as the boy could get no answer from deceased, and he had looked through a hole in the door, and observed a chair overturned, and deceased lying in tht ashes before the fire-place. Wit ness immediately went up stairs, and found deceased's room door fastened inside, and returned below and fetched Mr. McDonald, who brought a hammer, and witness forced open the door. On entering the room, witness discovered deceased lying on the floor, close to the fire-place, quite dead. He was naked, excepting his shoulders, which were covered with part of a coat, li terally a rag, andJlis body was swarming with vermin. Witness has no reason to imagine that deceased died otherwise than by the visitation of GOD. Mr. Burgess, the apothecary at the parish Infirmary, examined the body, and found no marks of violence: it bore the appearance of previous health, and was rather fat than otherwise. The body presented itself in a most miserable situation, as described in the cqidence. It appeared that the deceased had not lain in his bed pro bably for many months: the sheets were clean, excepting that part folded over the bed-clothes, which, with every other exposed article in the apartment, was covered with dust and dirt. In the room was found the greater part of a quartern loaf, some butter, bacon, and eggs, a phial containing vinegar, and some arrow -root, in a paper.— It was evident he did not die from want of food ; but he was found almost in a state of nudity ; he had no shirt or lower garments on, articles which it appeared he had not been in the habit of wearing. One of the Jurors stated, that he had lately been called on by de. ceased, and he asked deceased to partake of a leg of mutton, which he did standing up ; and it was noticed that deceased then had no breeches on. Deceased was also very recently seen in the street, by his landlord, at night, going from shop to shop, in the same state, and apparently cautiously avoiding observation. On the return of the Jury to the Inquest-room, the Colones suggested the propriety of having "deceased's apartment searched, as there was reason to believe there might be found property of some description or other. The parish (officers were co n sequ ently dispatched for that purpose; land, after a c examination, returned with the fel. 'lowing articles, •is. seven pawnbrokers' duplicates rot trifling things, pledged during the last year ; two French books on cookery. some manuscript recipes, several numbers of " the Mirror," and a few copper coins ; and on turning over the body of deceased, which had been hitherto untouched, they discovered under it a Bank of England note for £lO, with its edges much mutilated by burning, all of which are now in the custody of Mr, Bigg, at the workhouse. The case having undergone a full investigation, the July returned their verdict— " Died by the visitation of GOD.° The body of de ceased has since been removed to the poorhouse, pre paratory to interment. SCOT'S LAW. In the House of Lords on Monday, in an appeal of 44 The Hon. William Maule, of Panmure, v Fox Maule, Esq. of Famine," from the decision of the Court of Session, both Mr. WARREN and Mr. BROUGHAM were heard for the appellant, and Mr. KAYE for the respond ent ; when, after Mr. WARREN had spoken in reply, The LORD CHANCELLOR rose—He could not (the Noble and Learned Lord said) advise their Lordships to proceed to give judgment at this moment in a case of so much importance as the present one appeared to bin/ to be. He recollected no case of more importance than the present, as involving the Text-writers on the law of Scotland, and followed by a series of judgments in re gard to a point which itself had never come before this House for its decision. If the Text-writers were found to be right, and the series of judgments were also found to be right, how difficult would it be to disturb what was deemed the settled law of Scotland for a long term of years. But here again it was necessary for their Lordships to consider if in reality both the Text-writers and judgments were right, and by what rule of law the question could -be determined? It was incumbent on their Lordships to look not only at the substance, but even at the forms of the judgment in this case.— Here the sun, dissatisfied with the allowance made by his father to him, upon the plea of rank and station, went before the Court of Session, and desired of that Court nothing less than to assume the office of his father, by allowing him whatever was necessary to his implied rank in the social scale. Would their Lord ships then, under such circumstances, make a father, at the instance of a son, disclose his circumstances, through the Court of Session, to the whole world, not leaving it to the Court to act in the capacity of father throughout the lives of both father and son ? It appeared that the father had only a life-interest in the estates for his own enjoyment; and if it were competent for out son to act thus, it must be equally so competent for the other sons. If, after all, their Lordships should affirm the judgment of the Scotch Courts, it was to be hoped that tire affirmance might contain the duty of all con cerned, so that the Court of Session should not hereafter be looked to, rather than the father, by the son. Upon the motion of the Learned Lord, the further consideration of the case was adjourned fur a fortnight. Many of our Readers will recollect the nature of this case, in which the Lord Chancellor indicates; strong disposition to reverse the judgment of the Lords of Session. Mr. Fox Maule is the son of the lion. W. Maule, of Panmure, and is the strbstituts, or next heir on the entail, of the large estates of which his father, under the same entail,, is tenant for life. Mr. P. Maul. is an Ensign in the Army, and was allowed by his father XlOO a-year. He applied to the Court of Session for an order upon the father to make hists an allowance better suited to his rank and expectations. The Court of Session made an order for MOO (we believe) a-year. The deci 4on has excited great doubts, and the case is certainly important. LONDON SESSIONS, FEBIIUARY 16. This morning these Sessions commenced at Guildhall. RECORDER'S CH A ROZ-b-PUGILISM. The Grand and Petit Juries having been sworn. The RICCORDER addressed the former at considerable length.—He was happy to congratulate the Gentlemen of the Grand Jury that the calendar of prisoners was much lighter than it had been at corresponding Ses sions in preceding years, nor were any of the offences marked with airy extraordinary degree of moral turpi tude. There was, however, a case of manslaughter, which would claim their particular attention, and it was probabb. that, in the case to which he alluded, a bill for murder would also be preferred against the acr cased. It would, therefore, be their province to find tither one or the other of the bills, or both, should they think proper, on the evidence which would be laid be fore them. The Recorder was extremely sorry to ob serve, that that part of the calendar which related to' the county, contained no less a number than five cases of manslaughter, which were alleged to have been corn mitted during the short interval since the last Session. It appeared to him, as it had to others, that much of this evil was to be attributed to the encouragement held out to those notorious violators of the law, denominated pugilists, whose profession it was to fight for money; hence it was that the lower classes of the people were frequently led into disputes, and terminated them in the disgraceful manner to which he alluded. It was la mentable that men of rank were to be found who de based themselves so low as to sanction and promote such proceedings, which were shameful and flagrant misdemeanours against the public at large. He (the Recorder) could not help regretting that persons of dis tinction should, by their patronage, sanction such vio lations of public peace and public decency, and thereby contribute to the deterioration of public morals. In order, if possible, to stem this tide of iniquity, fraught as it was with destruction to human life, the Court was determined, as far as its power and influence went, to yield its assistance; and should ant case of this de scription come before it, the parties Convicted should be punished with the utmost rigour of the law. The Learned Recorder also intimated, that not only the principals in such contests, but these who had provoked, excited, or abetted them, should also be prosecuted, and that neither rank nor station should prove a shield against the powerful sword of the law. The Recorder attributed the diminution of offence in the City to the promptness with which the daily prowler had been pro secuted, and condignly punished (alluding to the crime of stealing handkerchiefs, 'cc.) it was, therefore, by such a procedure, that crimes of other descriptions might, if not abolished, at least be rendered much less frequent. After the Recorder had made some general remarks oe some of the cases contained in the calendar, the Gentlemen of the Grind Jury were dismissed until to-morrow morning.—Several cues of assault were disposed of, but all totally void of interest. According to accounts from the Bank of England, it appears that amongst the public balances in the hands of the Company, are 4 1 April 6, 1824, Lottery Prizes not claimed, 14,6241. July 5, 1824, ditto, 11,75 W. October 10, 1824, ditto, 7,7681. and January, 6, 1825, ditto, 7,27 . 11. making together 41,415 V and respecting the Dividends due and not demanded, there were quarterly Returns, eQ to January 5, 1825, of about 1,800,0001. • POLICE IYTELLIGENCA BOW-STRIUTIk Yesterday, kin Leitisil Webster, alias &fy, was biongit itp 1. the custody of Thomas Jones, a police constable, on ti warrant in which she stood charged with obtanditg,...by false and fraudulent pin;,. antes', three silk scarfs, and a *lentily .f grade Zferpks, hombadne; and other goods, value J 811.5 and upsseards, the property of Messrs.

Mann's. She mow resides at Eenezond it was stated that the prisoner had obtained the gindo to question by using that Lady's name. The prisoner seemed dejected, and when asked if she had ant" defence to offer, remarked, that she had, ever since she was a child/ had things from Messrs. Mann's, on account of Mrs. Johnstooil who was her aunt. It Was very strange, she added, that Millet Mr. Mambo's. his shopthan, nor the post-boy, knew her, Whim Ai had been almost from infancy with her aunt and late uncle. Shi thought her aunt ought to be present. Mr. HALLS said, the presence of Mrs. Johnstone was absolutol necessary, and the primer therefore would see her at the neat examination. The prisoner was committed to Tothill.fields prison for forthei examination on Tuesday next. The following very singular document was found in her pocket; by Jones, the officer : (C0rv).1. 1 .1, Eliza Louisa Webster, wife of John Webster, of liidborough-street, Burton-crescent, and before marriage Eliza Louisa Duntar, of Foxteth Park and Mount Pleasant, Liverpool; do solemnly bind myself to live, during my natural life, with Thomas Henry Stanley Withal!, now private iu his Majesty's First Life Guards, and in case I fail to fulfil any part of the above eon tract, Ido urther agree to forfeit to the above-named Thome' Henry Stanley Withnell, the half of whatever property I may V. any time Iran the date hereof possess; such as by bonds, will, or deeds, goods, chattels, lands, tenements, &c. " As witness my hand this twentieth day of _December, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Eight. Hundred and Twenty-four. (Signed) , ELIZA Louisa WILISTIA." Several applications were made some weeks ago for a summons against Mr. Charles Pitt. of Adam-street, Adelphi, t,r disturbing a congregation of Dissenters, at a Meeting-house, in iturleigh-street. Strand. Both Sir R. BMWS and Mr. ILu.i.a referred the cont. plainants to the Sessions. Finally, an application was Mole to eh_ Court of King's Bench for a Mandamus; and a rule to stew cause was granted. On Monday a summons *as issued, and yesterday the case was heard at great length, and the result was, that Mr. Pitt was held to bail to appear at the Sessions to answer the charge. SQUARE.QUEEN Join Brady, a master paviour, residing in Grey . Coatestreet, Westminster, was brought up in custody, before D. W. Gamoets, Esq. charged with a most Violent assault upon William Harrod, a carman in his employ, and endangering his life by striking him a blow on his head with a handspike. It appeared that on Monday morning, between six and seven o'clock, Mr. Brady went into the stables, and on seeing Harrod, hi told him to go about his business, he had no further employment' for hint, to which the man said, " Why did you not tell me so on Saturday, when you paid me my wages?" Brady replied, he would have done so at that time, had he known what bad since come to his knowledge. 'The circumstance thus alluded to, was an expression used by Harrod on Saturday to some of the labourers in Brady'* employ, of his (Harrod's) determination not to stop with such a sot of Irishmen as they were altogether. Harrod then demanded ao be paid his wages for attending his horses on the day preceding (Sunday); this Brady refused; and on his threatening to summon him, he turned him into the street. Some further altercation then ensued, in the course of which Harrod said to Brady, " You are nothing but a --- Irish rogue, and I can prove you so;' he also charged him with stialing a cart-load of aware, oa Saturday. Brady immediately, without making any answer, went into the yard, and returned with a weapon, which two of the witnesses, strangers to' both parties, and a man engaged by Brady to succeed lianas!, des scribed as a very thick handspike; but one of Brady's workmen, named Carroll, declared it was a common .broomstick. Thud armed, he (Brady) went up to Harrod, and struck him violently woes the bead, which made him stagger five or six yards, when he fell, and the blood gushed from his mouth and nostrils. The prisoner, apparently unconcerned, returned into the yard, and the bystanders conveyed the wounded man to the Westminster Infir mary, when the surgeon declared him to be dangerously wounded, and quite insensible. The prisoner was soon afser apprehended, and taken to the watch house, from whence, whilst the charge was being entered, be at tempted his escape, but was closely pursued, and brought back. The prisoner was to have undergone another examination yester day, but, in consequence of the surgeon's certificate from the Hos pital, stating the man not oat of danger, he was again remanded.
