MR. HUSKISSON'S LETTER. TO THE EDITOIC OF THE STAR. Grafton-street . ,"llerkeley-square, April 27, 1624. gm --I beg to state, that the' copy of Mr. HUSILISSON . 6 letter. to rue, dated the 2d of November last, taken from a Jamaica News paper, and inserted in the Morning Post of the 26th instant, has I been surreptitiously obtained, and sent for publication, to my Sao- nishment and painful regret. As yet I have not been able to dis cover the author of this gross act. I hope the Kelitoca, whether in town or country, who . have pub lished Mr..llosaussou's letter, will also take the trouble to limit eis in their respective Papers. I am, Sir, your most obedient Servant, • JOHN GLADSTONE KING'S THEATRE. An elegant and numerous audience again graced this Theatre last night. Ole& was the performance, and Madame PAsra, who - displayed all that taste and deli• cacy 'of execution for which she stands unrivalled, was rapturously encored in a beautiful air in the second Act. • At the close of the Opera, " GOD save Me King" was sung by the whole company on the stage in honour of the day, Madame VESTEIS and Mr. DE BEGNIS giv ing the stanzas by turns with great effect. The part of Emilia was undertaken by Madame CA BADortI, for the purpose of aiding the debut of Madame TAMS. This end being attained, the part has devolved, a- was originally intended, upon Madame GRAZIANI. Madame CAUADORI'S health being deranged, in conse quence of the fatigue which she has recently under gone, she will not again sing in public till the evening of het benefit, which takes place on Thursday next. DR UR Y-LANE MEAD:E. General Miaow/NE's comic opera of The Lord o) tie Manor was last night pei formed at this Theatre.— 'NI was the Trueniore of the evening, and in Scottish blillad, Let as haste to Kelvin-grove, and the song of //e :vas f'ara'd fur deeds of arias, from CHERRY S o`et.► of The Travellers, commanded an ea .ate. Miss SrEimess, in the lively part of Annette, went t hrou g h the character very pleasantly. ParitEy* Young Conte ast was the essence, not of friiolity, but of vulgarity : it possessed trot a single feature of Ole eccen ttic man of fishion. HARLEY SLa Aippe was laugh able.; and LisToN's 1/0// Flagon inimitable. Towards the end of an! second. act, a drunken sailor endeavoured to throw himself from the two shilling gallery into the pit ; and, to-the great terror of the Ladies, actually got - his legs over the rail in front. lle was, however, w►th some difficulty secured by the constables in attendance, and forcibly esFelled from the gallery. THE DISCuI'EIIY SHIPS. The Discovery Ships at Deptford are getting fast ready to . ptoceed on their destination ; and Goveinment se em to have skated no expense to render them in every restect fit for the service they are going upon, and to them as conifortab:e to the Officers and crews as uc nature of circtimstences will admit. We have, among the immemse crowds which are daily at Dept fol.d for that purpose, visited the ships, and tt ere par ticularly struck with the excellent arrangement of et et ything. The acc3rnmodations for the Office's, con lidtting the s'ze of the ships, are exceedingly good, and exhibit a degree of great comfort and neatness. The crews ate as comfortable as can well be ima gined: the men tllis voyage sleep in hammocks, in place of standing bed places. The ships are warmed with flues in an admirable manner ; and there appears to be no want of excellent libraries on board. It is calculated, upon an average, that within these few la,t fine days not less than between six and seven hundred people hive visited the Discovery Ships ; and Deptford Dock Yard presents an appearance truly singular, flout tilt crowd of carriages that are daily in .attendance, and the number of elegantly dtessed femalei, all anxious to get a view of the ship,. . . Some anxiety having been felt in the Brazil trade respectioz the security of British prope!ty. in Para, after the expuision of the owners, we feel it satiffactory to be enabled to state, that immediately on the arrival of the fugitives at Barbadoes, their case was represented by the Consul frtem Para to the Governor, who forthwith ordered his Majesty's ships Scout and Eden to proceed thither. One or the sloops was instructed to remain, for the pri)tcctioa of Bri:ish interests, the other to return rep - It the gate of the province ; and as it is known th:lt his :Nl.,jety's ship Brazen left Rio on the 15th of I:ebrliary for ill:: same destination, there was every rea son to expect the restoration of tranquillity in that guar ter. The British Consul for Para,' and ri,ost of the British tc,i,!ents, sailed for that place from Barbadoes in the Sct t:t ;IA Eden. A Gentleman has arrived intown who left Tampico, in Mexico, on the '2sth of February. He had travelled to that port direct from Mexico, after a residence of some duration in the capital of New Spain. He states that no insurrection existed in any part of the country; and, what is of still greater coasequence, no partisans of the mother cuuntry felt strong enough to declare them selves. The Executive was in great straits for want of money, a state of things which would soon cease by the-arrival of the remittances from the contractors for the loan negociated in this country. Their chief error -appears to be extreme clemency to the old Spanish re sidents, who were suffered to remain in the face of the public proclamations for their expulsion. An . Inquest was held at Rilston, on the 20th instant, before HPARY SMITH, Esq. Coroner, upon the body of ' Thomas Turley. It appeared that Turley, who was a oudltv, had been drinking at the Big Coal public-house on the preceding Saturday night, and got up in a state of intoxication to go out at the back door, again which- the landlord cautioned him, as there was au open well near it. lie, however, did go out, and his wife, who was waiting in the house, followed him; almost `4lNLitntaileously Turley staggered and fell backwards into the well, and his wife, who caught hold of the ho:- tom of his ttowsen, was, in endeavouring to save hin- 1 purl ied in alter him, but fortunately with her feet fore t. The well was six yards deep, and two and a half Icet-of water in it, and they remained in the situation vlescribed a guar ter of an h our before any person came to their assistance, when the woman was taken out, Inn little hint; and in ab. tit half au hoar afterwards the body of Turley was got out lifeless, his head and stalniders having been tender water during the time.- Wolverhampton t hennide. t'ort-ria ITS or QUKEN ELIZAPETII.—Vertue, the en graver, 'had a pecker-book in his possession, of Isaac 01:sei, in which the latter had made a memorandum, that the glee.' his mistress would not let him give any I , icle to her fratutes, - telling him that shade was an ac ciJent, and r.ot naturally existing in the face.

The fete at the Theatre, on Friday evening last, was certainly the most . saperb thing ever exhibited in Bath ; it surpassed in splcndotir all our juvenile ideas of glit tering ghettoes and fairy palaces, and the amateur play was well performed, especially Baron Duherley, Dick Dowlas, Stedfast, and Panglon, by Captain SNIITII, Mr. SKINNER, Captain Erne, and Captain PEACES. A pro. logue, written by BAYLEY, author of " Minor Lyricks," was admirably given by him and Mr. StcrttsEtt ; it had many good points, but I cannot say much in favour of the concluding lines, which ran thus: " Then, Sirs—hut hold, I'll favour of rn-nian " To you I will appeal, 0 lovely, lovely n The health of our Premier still impirnes—he ttke , his glass at the Pump Room at two ?.

In Albemarle-street, the Navy CLUB noon presented a grand appearance ; in front of the establishment were displayed his Ma jesty's Initials, in very large characters; above which was a Regal Coronet of "immense size, and underneath was a British Anchor, displayed in amber,coloured lamps. The ALFRED CLUB llouse.—This establishment excited a deal of curiosity, from the manner in which it was decorated. In front of the balcony were his Majesty's Initials, with a TV. in the centre, and an lino:viol Regal Coronet at top, of great magnitude. The whole was hi illiantly illuminated by 2,000 jets of gas, supplied from the main pipe. The whole was encircled with wreaths of laurel.

COURT OF XING'S BENCII-TIII3 DAY. THE CII RON (ME AND TIM S NF. 11' S?A PERS. DO LING t. iilCi s. This was an action brou;tht by the rlaintiff, a literary gentleman, who is acting manager of the Sinalo a oii•-rner and Morning (Artml. 1: NcsvgPapers, against the defendant, who is an agent the Ti..t , s Newspaper, to recover compensation in damages for the injury and inconvenience he (plaintiff) hid been put to, in enn3equence of being apprehended by Ituthven, a Bow-street olliaer, on a chaim of feloniously stealing a parcel from the Glasgow Mail Coach Office, purporting to be the property of the prorrietoroof the Times The parcel in question, it appeared, c on t a in e d t h e s p eec h es 0 1 Messrs. B rough am and Denman, at a dinner \\ Lich WAS given them at Glasgow,The jlibitiff, at the time he was arrested, was at tending, his profcssicti:tl duties at the Birmingham Musteal :Meeting; from which place he was taken about 300 miles; a bill W 45 preferred against him which, however, the Grand Jury ignored; and he, plaintiff, also was in custody for two or three days. After the plaintiff's case had closed, Mr. &sin err, for the definsdant, took an objection that the pro secution was not by his client, flicks, :.ut by the Times Newspaper. The defendant only acted as agent for that Paper. The Loan Curer Jesvice thought that the charge was made by Mr. nicht; on the evidence of others who ilid swear to the facts. that Mr. Dowling took the Identical•parcel that his Lordship thought amounted to probable cause. The Arroasev-GENCIVI., for the plaintiff, observed, the bill bein it thrown out by the Grand Jury, negat.ved the prnaable cause. Mr. SCARLETT submitted, not where a crosi•bill Was Vitt:felted. The ATTOnNEV-GENERAL.We will consent to be called. Plaintiff nonsuited. SWIFT V. THWAITES. Tiiis action was brought by the plaintiff; An Attor ney's clerk, aAainst the defendant, one of the proprie tors of the illornia4 Herald, to recover damages for an as-aalt.—The deearaiion set forth that the dt:kndant assaulted, pulled, 1).1.11, knocked down, and dragged the plaintiff to the watch-hou.e, where he Ha, faltely im prisoneJ.—The defendant pleaded in ju-tification, that. before the assault the plain.iff came into hi. room,matie noise, insulted him, and that being iequired to leave the house, he refused to do so, thereupon the defendant and others laid their hands on him, and rut hint out. His refusal to go made it necessary to use violence, and force him down stairs. They took him to the watch house, that he might be forthcoming to answer for the disturbance. Another plea put the carrying the plaintiff to the watch-house upon the general issue, and the ques tion was, whether the defendant was the cause of taking the plaintiff to the watch-house, or whether it was the act of the watchman who came up and received charge from a Mr. Luffman? Mr. BROUGHAM, as Counsel for the plaintiff, stated the case. He d,esctibed the defendant to he a Gentle• man conducting a most respectable establishment, but that respectability was no justification of 'the assault which the plaintiff had sustained. In April or May, last year, the plaintiff had been with Mr. Parkins, the late Sheriff, to subpoena several witnesses, and, on his return through Catherine -street, Mr. Parkins called at the Morning Herald 'Office to request the return of some written communication which the defendant had received from him, but did not wish to use. The de fendant, withent reasonable cause, not only ordered the plaintiff and - Mr. Parkins to quit the house, but called down upon them all the mint employed upon the paper. The plaintiff was consequently driven, or rather thrown, down stairs. He was thrust into the street and take;l to the watch-house. The wounds and bruises he received were severe. His knee was swelled, and it was necessary to call for the assistance of a surgeon. The plaintiff, in fact, had not since recovered the pro per use of his leg. These were the short facts of the case. The Jury would hear the case more in detail from :he witnesses. It would appear that more force and violence were used than the case, according to the defendant's own shewiug, could have required, and the plaintiff would doubtless receive that compensation from the verdict to which he was entitled. Mr. Pat kins stated, that he hid been in the habit of seeing Mr. Thwaites. Having been with the plaintiff to subpoena witnesses on a trial, he saw a light at the Morning Herald Office, in Catherine -street, and went to the room up stairs, where Mr. Thwaites was sitting.. The witness applied to him to deliver hack some papers which had been put into his hands. He asked for the' papers, saying they were of much importance to him. Mr. Thwaites said they were not :ft hand. The witness said he hoped the defendant would send them to him. Mr. Thwaites appeared to be intoxicated. . There was a smell of liquor. Without any reason for violence, he rang the bell, and brought down all the men. The witness said, Mr. .Thwaites, what is the meaning of this ? Upwards of twenty persons came. He had drepped his glove and wished to find it ; bnt before he could pick it up, the people, by direction of Th'.ea;Les, dragged him and the plaintiff away. lie was forced down stairs. One person was thrown down. The wit ness was pushed over the bannisters. They tro len him. Being strong in the arms, be kept the feet of one man upon his • body to prevent ()fliers from trampling him to death. When he got up he I.tid hold of one man and dragged him into the street. The plaintiff received similar treatment. Cross-examined by Ma-. SCA RT.ETT.—He said it was eleven' o'clock when he called on Mr. Thwaites.—lie refused to go because he would not leave his glove, - which he had recently purchased. The action was not brought by hi; direction. liie next witne3 , ; was a watchman.—He heard great noise in Catherine -street, and going to the door of the Morning Herald he saw Mr. Parkins, the plain tiff, and a number of men. Some were in their shirt sleeves. Parkins had a man by the arm, endeavouring to drag him into the street. The plaintiff did nothing. 'Clete was much pushing at the door. They wished t.) shut it, but in consequence of Parkins having hold of the man they were obliged to open it. When they went to the watch-house a charge was given against Parkins. Nlr.Alexandet Sherif, the constable of the nigh t i sta ted, that on the 17th April, last year, he attended as night constableat the watch-house; he remembered the part ies coming to the watch-house ; a charge was made ; Mr. Parkins was lame ; Mr. Swift W.IS lame too.

A great deal of intiathination came on, and he was ctat fitted to his worn; Ire was lame; he told witness h e was so poor he could not par for a- surgeon. The witness was not paid by Mr. Parkins: ' ' Hobert Sitear.tuith, a watchmaker, said the plaintiff, s Swift, lodged in hi:. house ; he. cause Lowe . mote dead than alive; it was five or :is weeks before be wadable to walk; he belts now ; he complained of having been bruised all over; his hand was cut.

The Attorney might, by possibility, have undertaken the cause on the ptinciple of no cure r,o pay. Ile shunld pass that point, and state shortly the nature of the case. He had witnesses who would dive an account of the transec:inn, diferent from that gi% ea by t h e Lee Sheriff. 1k could not say that Mr. Parkies, with all his adroitness, had arrived at the ;tit of meki his story psubabie. 1-le could not see why 'Mr. lee t.e.s should go with an A , tome . ) 's eerk, at half. t .ist eleven o'clock, when evety person at a Ne..vs;:erper o:Lee was engeged in gettin.; the Piper to press, unless !es rej(ct wet; to delay theiuhlocation.

Mr. Perkins intended to represent that a Gen tlenete with whom he was in the habit of friete.!sl,ip ac tually rang the bell, ..vithout any provocation, and called people to assault hith.
