T9_1 4 11.8 EDITOR OF THR STAR. • &Mot, An."3o, tgos. Ste--Your inferting the following letter, in your Paper, will oblige a number of Old Naval Or ficers, who are your conflant Readers ; and we think may contribute to the-good of the Public, as well as the advantage of a confiderable number of. . deferring individuals. To THE PUBLIC. It is well known that the profperity of this king dom depends in a great mature on the prowefs of the Briar Navy.—lt is to our unparalleled fuc4 cedes on the watery element that the late eonten: tion for power has been fo happily terminate& It is to the fyftens of placing experienced Officers, heed to lea-affairs, and accuilomed toe well eftablifhed naval ditcipline, over true-bred tritifh seamen, that we owe our superiority : but will any one prefume, from thence; that we are arrived at our se Au ultra P—Will any one fay that the Brit& Navy, with refpel to Ships, Officers, and Men, cannot be further improved and made more be neficial to the State ? We believe the anfwer is obvious. We pre advocates for riling by feniority, becaufe it is evident, that courage without con due only leads to bloodfhed;without infuring tutees : although fool-hardinefs has been known to fucceed in many inflances, where the enemy has been unpaired with the jdea of the unparal leled courage and perfeverance of Englifh Seamed,' yet it is well known, that Bridal Seamen in the beat of anion have held in contempt Tome young Officers of courage and great promife, who have been wanting in years, experience, and conic .gently good condua. We are well aware of the argument made ufe of, that youths of family, for tune, and fuperior education, particularly the funs ofgreat Naval Commanders, would embark with lets alacrity in the Naval fervice, on the fup pofition that every perfon of moderate abilities, and (lender education, tbould hold their rankfrom length of Cervices : but we would afk what inry any youth of family, &c. could fancy himfe if to "cave only from being preVented from clitnbing over the heads of thole whote birth, education, itc- has not been fo propitious as his own 1 On the contrary we a&, how any diligent, faithful, per dotting Officer mud feel, who has entered into the Naval Service of his country, with a full pe!- &afion that nothing could prevent his real merit lasing rewarded ; but after. a number of years of lfervices finds, from the death of his friends, his Swims are not attended to, and from ficknefs his illative fervice has *IR confined into neglea, fa that he who had served under him 93 Midflup man, &mid in a few years be 'appointed to cont. mead him as Poll-Captaia ? We believe we need . mot elk which harts private feelings mod, or which mood injures the public farviee ? , - : The advocates for eifiale hy wit, fuperior abi lities, and brilliant termer', independent of ki *corky, fay that " extraordinary ateritorioufnets would be 101 l to the common weal, it it had not its immediate opportunity and reward 1" But thole advocates do not, or. will not fee, that for one of thofe brilliant charaders, which are put Over tile beads of others, they deprcts end bi sk theCP irks Of ten of Litote s who, lsough of flat loodstate abilities, yet from being more fetXte endperfever s% might have aceomplillisd that ttipet . iin fer .vise, in which the impeto•fity and ineverrence of the former mighs have failed. And will any one . 4y,, that if the taspetuofity of a lie•krftegenins bad been checked, till experience lad ripened his that the nations of that on would awe beets in future Ws brilliant, or even lets im. duous, than at the first impulte of youthful ar ur. ? On the contrary, we think that when the judgment is .matured, it ,then knows with more precifion what can be done; and of courfe executes with more determined confidence and refOlution every thing which he knows to be poffible. • We remember when the Officersof the Marine Corr were, by the Earl of SANDWICH, diablithed to rife by feniority ; many of the advocates for merit and fuperior abilities, dferted that the ruin of that Corps would loon follow, as no perfon of. title, family, or fortune, would fend their Cons into *'Corps where there was no cfrance cifrifing ra pidly t—lt turned out, in one refpea,as they &id— s° perfon of title t etc. entered into it : but what' bas been the Wok ? ootwithandiag the want of Ca pport from the G 4 as! the VW! the _, - ga and the Power/di that Corps has gran ,y rife in refpia and tried fervices during two wars! and bee stied, moll nteritorioofly, obtained from his - )farily, the appdlatiou of Royal, for very ob: irions reafons. Aniongfl the numerous futons againd the fps= teen for promotion by merit, &c. islMt of andel perfon being pat over the head of his (color, en account of bis (ulterior abilities, education, dtc- teeing the advantage he has in thole refpeas is fo apt, by ths inconfideratenefs of youth, to bold in contempt thofe who have not enjoyed the fame advantages as himfelf, and forms his opinion 4 thole he is appointed to command, befbrehis own judgment is properly matured ; •and tonfequendy from want of that due refpea for his inferiors, wleo ', ought to.have continued his tuperiors, the public 1 fervice is frequently injured--t eh filirits of worthy Officers deprefied—and the *lion of Govern ment quedioned. Seeing the fafety, glory, welfare, and honour of thefe Kingdoms, depends on Our NavilAtperi otity, every thing that can be done to *referee it opght to engage the public attention; and Teeing Earn the above reafous.(ntanymoreequally Wen be advanced) the neceffity . of doillreg:fl yanks of Officers equal juftice, by giving them an' equal chance of dillingui(hfng theanfelves, &Me thing ought to be done to secomplifh to elefirebW an end : but feting the poffibility 'alio of Muse,{*; very few we hope) whore •indokoce of difpnlitian, want of (pink and of martial• ardoor,preventatheni from elating thesstelves in the (mice of their!, country, it appears to be reafonable, that a difJ cretionary power &mild be exercifed !sidle A 44 miralty, to put tlyie sillso do act thew a siipolli doe to km, on"; (ape emoted lilt of the eitrirtd \ regard for thofe who from age, Ramat, *tonna.' or other infirmities, are prevented from offering their willing fervices. We have alto to remark, that in the late aug mentation of Officers on half-pay, one clafs has been entirely negleaed, its, die fifty fuperannuated Lieutenants with rank of Comnianders: it appears as if We were (as a Nation) wanting in that refpea for grey-hairs, which we' formerly poffeffed.—The firQ hundred on the Lieutenants' lift are nearly in the fame predicament t and if the (mall faving to the Nation is confidertd, it looks like ingratitude ! That the above may engage the attentioti of the Admiralty-Board, and particularly the Noble Ad miral who prefides there, as alto thofe Senators who devote their time to the real fervice of their country, and thofe independent Gentlemen who have leifure, abilities, and inclination, to flimtilate the fervants of the Crown to do that which is for the real honour and welfare of the Britilh Empire, and.the peace of the world, that under the pro tains arm of PROVIDISC* 9 we may enjoy,our oft rights, not walling for more ; but that we may be always powerful and always jail, are the fincere withes of a number of of 110Als orttczas.

Ms LIOILOUO H.STIL II IT OFFIC R—Yefterdal a man-fervent was *barged before NA THAtilk I. CO NANT, Efq. with having defrauded the Marquis of WORCESI la by taking the carriage and por terage of a blank parcel, direaed to his Lordfhip, pretending the fame had come from Plymouth. Sophia CoOkfon informed the Magiftiate, that the prifoner knocked at the Marquis of Worcef ter's houfe, ift Grofvenor-greet, the preceding night, between.nine and ten o'clock: on her going to the door, he Paid he •bad brought a parcel for the Marquis, from the Swan with Two Necks, Lad-lane ; that the carriage came to es. and the portcrage is. She took the parcel, and paid the two thitlings ; but having read in the public papers that frauds bad been committed by perfons leav ing blank parcels at Gentlemen's houfes, the de termined, before the paid the other Chilling, to open the parcel, the family being from home, and accordingly pulled out ber fcifikrs to cut the cord the parcel was tied with, but was prevented by the prifoner, who infifted that the pared should not be opened wiles the would go with him to the coach-office. His behaviour induced her to be neve that he meant to praaife a fraud, and the had the courage to feint hold of his collar, and to call her filler, the only perfon in the houfe, who, intently came, and procured the affiftance of a sr. Role, who kept a grocer's (hop oppofite, and they fecured the prifoner till the parole was fetch ed, who took him to the wasch-houfe. On fearch*- big him, two other blank parcels were found, one direaed to Lord Bathurft f and the other to Com fellor Baldwin, in the fame hand-writiog with the one direaed to the Marquis. Lord Gower's porter alto appeared againft the prifoner. He Paid he came to his Lordthip's houfe is Arlington-street, Piccadilly, on the Ith of An ita, with a parcel, which be Paid he had brought from the Swan with Two Necks, Lactlafte • that the carriage was is. 6d. and the porterage Hiving no fufpicioft of the fraud, he paid him as. 6d. and gave him is: porterage,obferying that his trouble in bringing it. out of the city,deferved more than 6d. as a recompence. When he was gone, his Lordfhip being in Scotland, he ripened the parcel, and found it contained only a !beet of . brown paper, and that he bad been cheated. A fervent, belonging to the Marquis of SLIGO, told a fimilar Rory refpeaing . parcel brought to his Lordfbip's houfe .in Grafton-beet, with this Only difference e thit he would trot pey'the demand] 'Mlle bad opened it ; and while he was fo'doing, the prifoner made his efcape. The prifoner, who was a weldreffed young man, confeffed that he had been difcharged only the preceding Saturday from that office, on a fimi. tar charge ; .and that he had nothing to offer in extenuation for himfelf. He raid he had lived rottly four months fince, as footman to Lady RUMIoLD. The Magiftrate told him he had taken tome pains to warn him of the fate he was likely to meet with en the preceding . examination, if he did not return to hone and induftrious ways ; and that I be was lorry his admonitions had failed of fuccefs. He was then fully committed for trial at the en ruing Weftminfter Sellions. A. few days fince a lad who had exercifed feveral ids of eruelty to fume (beep, was convicted before the fitting Alderman at Guildhall, and committed for am monat to hard labour.-a-This proceeded upon the profetution of the Society for 'the Sup prifiloiti of Vice. On Sunday afternoon a lad, about feven years old, bathing in Mawby's pond, Kennington-crofs, was unfortunat:ly drowned. Lail Monday, as a Gentleman was going along the Kent road he was attacked by a ferocious mar tiff dog. Fortunately he had a heavy flick in his band, with which he conquered the creature, by betaking both his fore legs and linking him on the bins. The owners of fuch fierce animals are cenfurable far not lecturing them. 'On Thefday fe'nnight, about nine o'clock, as Mr. Heszvriez, jun. was travelling on the road from London to Lewes in his carriage, accompa ftledby his Ladt, he was flopped by threefootpads, near Brixton Caufevray, who robbed him of his pocket-book, containing bills to the amount of up wards "of three hundred pounds, and made off. On the i4th of August, was executed at Swab munches, near Aug&urgh, a woman, aged 38, whole crime ia of a nature calculate d to fix the attention of thofe who Rudy mankind. Between the isth of January ) 1798, and the 2d of No vember, lboi, this woman fet fire to the town of SWibmenchen, fifteen times, in confequence of which fifty houfes became a prey to the flames, and a great number of perfons were reduced to po eerty. Several individual!, on whom fufpicion fell, Were fent toprifon; but at length, happily for them, the real criminal Was dikovered by a la bourer, who caught bulb) the fad. Her name is Maria Frankin : after (even examinations, in which the denied the crime, the at length, on the eighth, confefed her guilt, and pleaded in her jut . - 'ffication, that from her youth, the had; een tor mented by a violent pealkait ea fee houfes on fire ; that the had refifted this defire for a long time, but -at length overcome by her paflion,' the had burnt the bodes alluded to, without any end in view, and without any remorfe.

The high walls which are to furround the whole. premifes (as high as thofe round the King's Bench prifon) are begun in fe. veral places, and on Come part of the earl fide it is finifhed. A double circular row of piles of great length and dimenfions are now driving in the Ri ver, without the intended grand entrance ne ar Wapping Old Stairs, to form the temporary em. bankmtnt againa the tide, while the gates and en. trance Want are building ; in the centre of there piles a temporary fire engine has been ereaed, which by, an ingenious combination of machine, works the feveral pile engines nfed to drive the piles.
