ECONOMY AND RETRENCHMENT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. really think that economy and retrenchment in the public expenditure are absolutely necessary in the present distressed state of the country. Ever since the present Minister came into office, the town has rung with his praise, for his practice of these virtues, if I may so call them. You may judge, then, the surprise and re gret excited in my mind by your recent announcement • of his approaching removal before the completion of the adthirible system upon which he has so uniformly acted. With,a view to alleviate the evil, I take the liberty of suggesting. the following hint several hoarding schools in Yorkshire the boys formerly had a new *suit of clothes every year, but it is now usual to order a new suit only for those of the first or highest class, consisting of course of the oldest and biggest boys. These clothes, when worn a good deal, are made up for the boys of the second class, and so down to the lowest ; arrived at which, if only an old skirt or sleeve of a coat should remain, it will serve to make up into a jacket for one of the little ones.— Now, Sir, might not something like this plan be adopted with advantage in the army? The Life-guards being tall strapping fellows let their clothing be entirely new. It is the more necesary, as this force is as much for show as for use. Their regimentals when worn nearly thread bare, might be made up for the infantry, and from thence transferred to our sailors and marines, who are generally men of lower stature. Having thus done duty in the .army and navy, the remnants might assist in clothing our veterans in Chelsea and Greenwich hospitals ; after which their services might be dispebstd with. I am well aware that the radicals and reformers will say this sort of saving is mere " cheese-parings and candle-ends," and will exclaim, why not disband some dozen regiments with their Colonels and Captains at once ? But, Sir, I appeal to you whether it be not in perfect accordance with the system of economy and retrenchment practised by the Noble Duke, wisely acting upon tho old proverb, which says, " take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves," and if an authority be neces sary in a case of thrift and economy, nobody would object to the example of Yorkshire. Yours, &c. AN ECONOMIST. ARTS AND SCIENCES. PHILIPPS' LECTURES. Italy is universally acknowledged the native land of melody. We must not presume to divide with it the triumph of delighting an audience by the mere power of song: but there is a power more congenial with the cha racter of our country—the power of pleasing by the com bination of sense and sound. Not a little merit was due to the establishment of the English Opera in London, founded upon this difference in the taste and genius of the two countries. It is therefore with pleasure we find Mr. T. Put LI PPS a gentleman well known on the Lon don and Dublin b oards, engaged at the London Institu tion in delivering a course of lectures in which this prin ciple in vocal music is enforced, of the successful culti vation of which he furnishes a striking example in his own person. A 'single case will illustrate our meaning. The airs in Moore's Melodies existed before that gentle man was born : what merit, then, could be claim in any effect they might produce if sung by some velvet-lipped Italian of the most exquisite voice, in accents softened down into an unintelligible language, in which all the beauties of the poetry, with all its sentiment, taste, and fancy, should be lost ? Of the advantage de rived from Mr. PHILIPPS' system, Mr.Woons, now one of our favourite vocalists on the stage, brought up under his tuition, and whose style is exactly formed upon his principles, is a convincing proof. It is satisfactory to , the admirers of pure and perfect vocal music, to find these lectures so fully and fashionably attended. They incul cate true principles with great force and clearness, and will arrest that vicious taste, which, in the affectation of excessive refinement, would sacrifice all sense to sound. This, however, is a very narrow view of them, being con fined to a single point amidst a great variety of interest ing, entertaining, and valuable information. The lecttues, in fact, embrace the whole science of vocal music. LANDSEER'S ANIMAL PORTRAITS. The first and second parts of a series of characteristic partraits of animals, drawn from the life, and engraved by Mr. T. Landseer, have been announced in our paper. They contain the Giraffe—the Bonassue—the Thibet Dog—the African Elephant—the Musk Bull—the Ben gal Tigers—the Elk, and the lbex.—These portraits are drawn from fine specimens of these rare and beautiful animals now existing in the principal collections of France and England. To their fidelity as likenesses, and the truth and spirit with which they are executed, the Council of the Zoological Society, to whom they are dedicated by permission, has borne testimony. It is an advantage peculiar to the present time, that we have in this Institu tion means of forming a just estimate of the merit of such works. Those before us are well worthy of an artist unrival led in this department of the arts. The physical organisation and the moral qualities of the animal are seen as distinctly as if the original, with all its living energies, were pre sented to the view. Some of the inhabitants of Mary-la-bonne parish ap plied a few days ago to the Commissioners of Police for informa tion u to the number of policemen employed for the protection of the parish, a piece of intelligence to which they considered them selves entitled In consequence of the large sum (11,0001. a year) which they pay for watching. To thiesppUcatioo Mr. Mayne, the Commistioner. replied politely, that it was not considered expedient to mention the number.

Li GRAVIt MID MIMI= ♦. TUC KATOS MID C•DroaATsosr 01 This action was brought by the plaintiffs, who adjust and manu facture weights and measures in" the City of London, against Mr. Jenkins, formerly the Mayor of Alonmoutb, and the Corporation of that Borough, to recover 911. for a set of imperial weights and measures made to order and delivered to the Corporation. It ap peared that the late Act of Parliament, which requires uniformity in weights and measures, made it necessary to have a new set of weights in the Town Hal! of Monmouth. Mr. Jenkins, who in 1826, was Mayor deforts.sent a letter to the plaintiffs, containing an order for the imperial m easures required. The articles were ac cordingly prepared, and sent to the Corporation in two boxes. They were placed in the Mayor's room, at the Town-ball, and had continued In use up to the time of bringing this action. After the plaintiff's case had been proved by several witnesses, Mr. J. Wttatams, as Counsel for the Corporation, said, Mr. Jenkins bad been ousted from the office of Mayor, and the only question was. whether or not a letter sent by that gentleman was each an order &a bound the Corporation ? Lord Timms= held that the Corporation had nude the goods their own, by keeping and using the same in the Town Hall. The articles were examined at a general meeting tithe burgesses, when the Mayor and several Magistrates were present. Mr. Witataushad no other ground of defence if his Lordship considered there bad been an adoption of the weig hts and measures. Lord Tmoveanen—Yes ; I think they made the goods their own. The weights and measures were sent down to the Corporation.— There they were received, and there they remain. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages, 491. IfiBCOT•11 OF WASH V. FOOT. The plaintlg executor of the late Andrew John Nash, brought this action to recover money advanced by the testator to tbe de fendant. The late M.

The defendant was assistant overseer With a salary, and barbs& applied to Mr. Nash to advance him msusy for the purpose of conducting parish badness. the sum of teBo was advanced. After Mr. Nash's death, it appeared that the defendant bad paid back ASS, and the question was, whether Mr. Foot was to have credit for that KIM ? Lord Tm.vtanan—Could not this be inquired into by an arbi trator ? ➢lr. DEVILIP s who wag for the defendant, did not object to that course of proceeding, and a verdict waa taken for the plaintiff sub• ject to arbitration. EXECUTION OF THOMAS MELLON AND iIiCBAIL BYRNE, dr DUBLIN. On Friday dame unfortunate men, who were convicted an Wed outlay of tie murder of Thomas Hanlon, underwent the sentence of the law In front of Newgate. At an early hoer crowd, of per sons, of both sexes, began to collect in Green -street, and at eleven o'clock it was almost impossible to pass through Little Britain street King-street. or th e upper end of Capel-street. It was in tended that the execution should take plate soon after twelve ; but the Clergyman pot being able to attend until about that hour, the alminals were not removed front their alb untU a quarter past one o'clock. At this hour they were led to the press-room, where the necessary arrangements having been made by the famous Galvin, and another executioner who came from Cork, they knelt, and having spent a few minutes in prayer, and taken a feeling farewell of the Clergyman and of each other, they ascended to the drop with a calm and firm step. The fatal drop having fallen. Mellon died almost without a struggle, but Byrne seemed to en dure great agony (or some minutes. Since their condmonation, these unfortunate men behaved in the meet edifying manner. They evinced an entire resignation to their fate and attended most attentively to the pious exhortations of cheer spiritual director. They were continually engaged in prayer and meditation, and displayed a Christian heroism, worthy of s better cause than that for which they sugared. They neither ad mined guilt nor protested innocence. In the short interval be tween the passing of their sentence and its execution, they dept very little and ate less—their whole minds seemed rapt io coetma plation of their approaching Ignominious end. The relladme of both had an Interview with them on the preeedisi womb& sad the dui separation was extremely affecting. Neither of them was married.

The chief interest in yesterday's betting centered in the first three favourites for the Derby, who seem to be an the move. Bruns-. wicker was in great force; and. from the "irked nalmincr in which his friends came forward, he was placed at evens with blemmer, whose party is very lukewarm : 9 ro 1 was taken about each seve ral times, and 19 to 1 spine Mouse found plenty of takers. Un less Mummer rallies, the Yorkshire bone will certainly have the call before the week is over. The Oaks betting was flat, and did not produce any change worth speaking of. A few heavy beta were made on the St. Leger, ►ut without much effect. The New market Oatlands was also spoken of, and about half a dozen en gagements entered into on it.

It was not until Saturday that information of the duel, which took place in Battersea Fields, between Mr. Lansbrembe and Mr. Oliver Clayton, In which the latter gentleman fell, was given at Union Hall. The moment Mr. Hone was apprised of the unfor tunate result, he granted a warrant for the apprehension of the parties concerned in the transaction ; and it was entrusted to Hall, the chief constable and POO*, one of the officers, to execute. The officers having gained intelligence that Mr. Lambresche, one of the principals in the duel, resided at Wood's Hotel, in Artindel.street, Haymarket, they repaired thither, but found that he was not there, and, in fact, have .not yet succeeded in apprehending any of the parties. Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Red House, Battersea, on the body of the deceased,when the following evidence was adduced : William Price examined—l am a waiter out of employ, and lodge at No. 52, Rupert-street, Haymarket. On Thursday night last, at half-past ten o'clock, the deceased called at my lodgings, and said he wanted me to accompany him into the country for one day; he then requested that I would go to Wood's Hotel, and sleep that night on his sofa. I did as he desired me, and remained there that night. I had to wake him at half-put four o'clock, but he rang his bell at half-past due, and when I went into his room, he desired me to fetch a coach. Having brought a coach to the door, he desired me to place his portmanteau in the vehicle ; and be then, accompanied by two gentlemen, got into the coach, one of whose names is Bingley, whom I have seen frequently in his company, but the other I did not know. I then got up on the coach-box, and the deceased directed the coachman to drive to Battersea- fields. On our arrival there, within a few yards of the Red-house, the deceased desired the coachman to stop, and ad. dressing me, mid, that he expected some gentlemen were waiting for him. After he bad spoken I saw two other gentlemen stand ing within a few yards of the coach. After this I opened the coach.door, and Mr. Bagley alighted, leaving the deceased and the other gentleman in the vehicle. The deceased opened his port• manteau and took out a case containing a pair of pistols. which he handed to Mr. Bingley, together with a paper parcel, containing powder and ball. The parties then repaired to a spot within about thirty yards of the Red House ; It was not then quite day-light.— My name was shortly afterwards called, and I went forward and was desired by Mr. Mosley to take sway the empty ease. Having done this I returned back, and at the request of the deceased helped him off with his great coat and boots, and he put a pair of light shoes dn, and walked to the ground. I then heard the de ceased talking in a loud tone of voice ; bet I could not distinguish what be said, or to whom spoken. In a few moments afterwards, I beard the the report of Ike-arms. (Here the witness became very much elected, and shed teats.) I cannot say whether it was the report of one or two pistols. After this my name was again called, and I hastened to the spot, and saw the deceased lying oa the ground ; hegnpped me by the band, and I said, " For idotessake, Mr. Clayton, are you hurt r• He made no answer, bat brolly held my band in hie own. At this time the gentleman who shot him. and whose name I believe tre be James Richard Lambreach, late of Wood's Hotel. came up to the deceased with a pistol in his hand, and said, " Clayton, have I hit you?" The deceased stretched out his hand to that Gentleman, sayft. " I freely for give you ;" and I think, added the witness, be saio, " lama dead man: The witness said, that there were four Ciastleinsa present on the ground when the duel was fought • he, amid the who accompanied the deceased, and Der. Smiley. at a short distance together from the spot. Whim I saw the deceased lying on the ground. I procured a piece of beard. Ed with the assistance of others carried him to the Ite4liseee, previews to which Mr. Lambreache, and the gentleman whose name Is Cos, left the ground together. The deceased was &sod in bed, and a doctor sent for. After some restorative had been administered to him. he said, addressing Ines "James. I am miry that I was so obstinate." The deceased afterwards said to me. that the chief cause of his quarrel with Mr. Lambresche was in consequence of that gentleman applying the epithet hypocrite to him. By a Juror.-4 lave heard that the deceased fought one duel berme, and that his antagonist bad also been engaged in three duels- Thomas Skinner examined.—l ant a labourer, and as I was going to work on the premisesat the Red-home, when I was within SOO yards of the house, I heard the report of fire-aress; it was nearly dark at the time. and at the distance I was I could not distinguish any per.ons, but I could hear people talking. When I advanced, I saw four can carrying a gentleman on a board, and beard the wounded gentleman exclaim as they were carrying Mm, " Don't shake me ;" be was then taken Into the house. Mr. Powell, the surgeon who attended the Asseeeel,wasessmb• ed.--I was called to attend the deceased on Friday mornings amen o'clock ; be was then lying on a plank inside :the Mir. and I then assisted in carrying him up stairs into bed. Oa asaraien•. doe I found a small opening, about two inches below the ribs, m the right side ; it was half an inch in diameter, and there ens another wound corresponding in size on the left side, about two I.cbes higher up, which seemed to have been inflicted by a bullet. From the nature of the wound. the ball meet have penetrated the intestines and diaphragm. After I examined the wound, be in quired whether it was. fatal one, and bow long he probably might enririve It 1 1m reply. I mid him that be was not likely to live tenger than twelve haunt, and I remained with the deceased sihreugbeut the day. end until he *spired, which was about seven Aka the same evening. After the above evidence was read, Mr. Powell said that be bad several conversations with the deceased before be died, one of which he (witness) was particularly anxious to relate. The Jury having expressed a desire to hear it, Mr. Powell then proceeded :—About an hour after the deceased was wounded, be said, addressing himself to ase. " Remember every thing was fair and honourable. I forgive all that has passed, and hope there will be - loseartion." In the latter 'of the day' LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jan. 11. Adjourned Sittings in Loodeo.—Coinenos Juries. WIWI v. Dm. Mr. CUM= (with whom was Mr. Szza.z) stated the case. Ind said that this was an action brought by the plaintiff. a theatrical pitman. in Wych•street, Strand. to recover from the defendant, who was also a theatrical printsefier, in Aldersgate.street, a com pensation to damages for plating theatrical prints, the copyright of which belonged to the plaintiff. The Learned Counsel then de tailed the manner in which the prints bad been pirated, and pro duced a number of theatrical prints which it was alleged the de fendant bad copied. He produced a sheet of small characters from the mel odr ama of rsesour the Maar, one of which was in a peculiar costume; this the defendant had copied and published on a larger scale, this character being on one sheet—there were, however, be (Mr. Campbell) observed, several portions of this dress which the imagination of the plaintiff had produced, and these the defendant bad copied. The character of Harlequin as represented by Mr. Eller had also been pirated. The plaintiff had also published a print of the man in brass armour, who followed in Abe train of the Lord Mayor on the occasion of his " splendid an neat." It was not necessary (observed Mr. Campbell) that a per son should copy the whole of a print to constitute a conspiracy; but he was responsible if it could be proved that be had copied a material part of the work of another artist. Witnesses were then called, and the artist, whom the plaintiff had employed to execute the figures in question, said that the prints published by the defendant were copied from those which he had executed for the plaintit Mr. Denman, in his address on the part of the defendant, said the plaintiff was a publisher of theatrical prints, in an extensive line of business, and was exceedingly jealous of all oaten who at• tempted to cope with him in that particular line. The Learned Counsel then commented on the figures that had been produced, making observations on the distinctions in the two prints. and to prove that the print of Mr. Elia in the character of Harlequin was" not pirated, be observed that be should call Mr. Eller himself, who would tell the Jury that be considered the defendant's print the best likeness of himself in that character. The Lumped Counsel then concluded by saying that this was au attempt made by the plaintiffto obtain a monopoly in that particular line of business. and he hoped the Jury would express their opinion of such conduct by a verdict in favour of his client. The artist employed by the defendant deposed to the characters not being *Tied from the plaintiffs prints. He also deposed to the plaintiff jumping over the counter and turning him out of his shop when he went to remonstrate with Mm on this action. Mr. Filar was then called, and deposed that the portraits pub lished by the defendant appeared to be the most correct. Several other witnesses deposed to the custom of the trade, and they also said the prints published by the defendant did not appear to be copied from the plaintiff's. Mr. Centrism. replied, and Lord Testraasas baying summed up the evidence, the Jury consulted for a few minutes, and found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages Is. INSOLVENT .RECTORS' COURT. • CONORALKOR ON ISOMITT. William Ruse% a butcher, kte of Oxford. who was beard ori gladly on the 17th of December last, when be was opposed by blr. Baton, was brought up to-day for Anal bearing, and to receive the judgment of the Court. Mr. Commissioner Law said, that the case was adjourned, in order to allow the insolvent to produce witnesses named Dean and King. If be thought proper, to prove that certain premises and he reditaments, which formerly belonged to his father, had not, through his demise, become insolvent's property. It appeared that there were Widget's which deposed, that the property in titivation (consisting of land and cottages) had become the Insoivenea, as heir at law, and only son of his father. Mr. Commissioner Law called upon the pedtioner for his evi dence to rebut the termer testimony, but no person appeared. The Learned Commissioner then told the insolvent to weigh the master welt before he signed and swore to the schedule. as the Court could not help believing that the property belonged to bine. although be bad stated to the contrary, both verbally and otherwise. Insolvent.--The property is not mine, Mr. The insolvent having been sworn, Mr. Commissioner Law said that the insolvent was one of those foolish persons who supposed that this Court would assist bins in cheadog his creditors, and allowing him to go at . It ap. =that the insolvent had been badly advised, but b liberty aying fol. It he must take the consequences. It was the abject of the Court to compel persons who applied to it to give op all their pro perty, and if they did not do so, the Court was bowl to use measures to bring the party who was guilty of fraudulent coo. cealment to his senses--.and that measure was a lengthened con finement in prison. The judgment of the Court was, that the in. solvent be confined within the walk of the King's Basch Prison tor me year from the date of fling his petition, for fraudulently making away wills or emeselles his troperty.
