TO ; THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. • RiIiZZA thin** the sis'amefel irreg olaritiee which took wises on Friday lest. whilst his late Royal Highness the Duke of York was laying in State, I wish you would Lase the kindness to notice the following disgraceful one, which you may depend on as a fact. An Officer of rank in the army, who had with much difficulty effected his way to the barrier, opposite to St. Jaing:s-street , with a party of Ladies, who had been kindly escorted there by an Officer of Lancers on duty, and who were immediately admitted, was insolently drawn back by a constable placed at the barrier r and,. on his taking a position which left the entranceperfecay open, was eyed by the constable in question for a minute cr two, with apparent scrutiny. Shortly afterwards he pushed open the barrier, rustled with violence upon the Gentleman in que,tion, seised him by tke breast, and attempted to strike him with his staff, raising it for this purpose. On the Gentleman stating , " that it should be the dearest blow he ever gave in his life , if he e ff ec t it.," he thought it prudent to desist from this pare a purpose. Whether it was to convert a valuable &mo pin which the Geutleman had in his neckerchief, and which was unfortunately conspicuous, to his own use, he will leave it for others to determine ! Suffice it to say, it was abstracted in the scuffle, though not kno a 0 at the moment; but on the constable's quitting him, • after driving him for some distance from the barrier, still holding him by the breast, he pointed out his person to the -Lancers, desiring them to do their duty, which they effected so completely, that he never had the op portunity of getting near the barrier again. ... The constables — person is well knowa, being a mid dling sized man of a fair complexion, and could be sworn to, if the Gentleman in question could find any means of making an ens - split of him.

It appeared that the testator died on tire 16th of April, 1824, leaving four brothers His will was dated in May, of the year 1821, and the validity of that in. ettument was not now sought to be disputed; bat a codicil was put in, in the form of a letter, dated only , tM o days before the testator's death; and the question for the Court now was, whether thatletter was genuine or a fabricated paper ? The disputed paper was sent to Mr. Isaac Pryer, a solicitor, and one of the testator's executors; it referred to the tvill 61 11121, and stated that there was a material mistake in that will, Which the testator desired to have remedied, and then went on to state the alteration which he desired to have made, by which the disposition of the testator's pro perty was changed in many important parectilars—' After an• elaborate consideration .of all the probabili ties of the case, the Coast pronouseed against the application, and in favour of the validity of paper lor*POiladed• The Own dim miaow& ?Hl OLDHAM .CCetTON SPINNERS.

A nest for serpents; (Men the red abyss New hills, explosive, thrown ; the Lotitne tato A reedy pool ; and all to Camas point The sea recovering his userp'd domain, And poued triumphant fie the bided dome." t 75: The discovery of Herculaneum in 1713 1 and of Pom. peii in 1753. excited the greatest interest throughout Europe. No instances had occurred of large cities, containing so many works of art. having been buried for so m toy centuries, and at last brought to light, with all their temples, statues, paintings, houses, shops, house. hold furniture, and utensils, in such a state of preserva. tion. Pompeii, indeed, has no equal; it lies at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, about 15 miles south-east of Naples, in that rich plain where Hannibal remained for 'years after the battle of Canna, and wasted the strength of his army in luxury and ease. It is a walled town, about three or four miles in circumference; and, with the ex• ception of some temples, the amphitheatre, theatres, tombs, and a few houses, is all built of brick. During the eruption of Vesuvius, in the year 97.0 f the Christian era—the greatest on record—the mountain, for several .days, continued sending forth large quantities of ashes 'and light stones, which fell in showers on the surround-1 Mg plain, and buried Pompeii. The covering is, at al l average, about twelve feet deep. In some places it is moch greater—in others not more than a few feet ; ba i l it appears to have been so complete, that not a vesti of the city was left. Houses were built above it—vine were planted in the new soil—roads were made—ani' Pompeii lay forgotten and neglected, till about sevensk 'years ago, when accident brought it tq, light..*. It is noly astonishing that it had not been discor wow, as the covering, in some places. is so slight, . the roots of the vines have penetrated a consider way its the buildings below, A great pert of it ' now excavated, ant( exhibits a most interesting sig art only to the antiquarian and curious, but convoy man who has read or heard of the Romans. On ap. proaching it from Naples nothing is seeo but a high mound formed of the rubbish collected from the into. rick of the city. On entering by a narrow passage c$ ‘brougb this mound, the great road which led to Ronse p *ld a long street of tombs continued to the walls of the ..tsiern, first attract attention. The street is paved se • large stones, with five angles, most of them between and three feet in diameter. The tombs are all 04 marble. Some appear old; some are as fresh and wb as when the workmen left them, and others are only finished. Most of them have emblems or fiptres car, on them, and but few have inscriptions. The principal 'hou:e in this street belonged to Diomedes. His totnb is opposite to it, with this inscrjption, iii Roman capittli; " Dioinedes sibi et suis." (Erected by Diomedes, for himself and family.) Another near it his a most appro.. priate device for a tomb, a vessel is represented entaiqg the harbour with the sailors on the yards furling the sails. The voyage of life was over—the frail bark had reached ' 0 the safe end quiet barboar of death, actin, times ready to receive us from the stormy ocean of ' , human life." Urns, containing the ashes of the.dead, me placed in niches, in small square cells, at the back Of the monuments. They are all of earthenware, and _ _. very small. The house of Diomedes is in a wonderful state of preservation. The paintings on some parts of the ceiling and the ceiling itself are as fresh and entire as they could have been 17(X) years ago. There is a garden at the back of the house, with a wine cellar be neath it. The cotlar Is inure kink of a funnel r abowttight feet wide, running round the inside of the garden wall.— it contained a great number of wine jars, which are 'filled with ashes apparently coloured by the wine.

In this cellar 17 human skeletons were found; one of them had a key its hand. Whether they had Bed to this place for safety, or to riot in drunkenness, like shipwrecked sailors, is uncertain. ft is probable, however, that most of the inhabitants had tithe to escape from the city, many of them, no doubt, wire suffocated by the in their Bight.

With the exception of a few statues and trent**, which have been removed, everything is left in its Final state. Houses, temples.theatres, wells, mills, ovens,' shops—all remain nearly as they were in the time of the ancient Romans. The streets are narrow with a lea path on each side raised about a foot. The houses arc in general small, and of one story. In the shop: there appears to have been no partition between the door and the window. Many of the shops at Naples have exactly the same appearance. Ido not recollect, 'in any one instance, to have seen a chimney, and be lieve there are not more than two or three houses that have 'stairs. The rooms are generally adorned with paintings, representing Boners, birds, or beasts. The peacock and the goat seem to have be en favourites. The colours are of a bright red, bine, or yellow. On some of the houses and ships the names of the owners are in scribed in red paint on a ground of white, which had. been us-d to efface some previous inscription. A cock and serpent are the centime signs for apothecaries. Bakehouses contain small hand-mills for grinding the wheat, jars for the flour, and ovens exactly like those of the present day. Above one of the ovens is a symbol of the same kind with those which ate so common on the temple arNirmes, with this inscription teneath it : —" 11w habitat fetiches."

Those' allotted to the Prefect and Tlibunes have inseriptiout on them to that effect. It could contain 35,000 spec'. tators. The view from the upper seats, and the reflec tion to which it naturally gives rise, are certainly une qualled; on the one side is the beautiful bay, on the other the rich plain, with Vesuvius on the left, and the bold range of high mountains on the right—the specta tor looks down on the arena, on the empty seats where so many thousands had assembled in joy and gladtiess, and on the town, now as still and quiet as the alter - those that had inhabited it. Not more than a fourth the town is yet excavated. It is extremely probable, however, that most of the principal buildings have been discovered, as these were commonly built in the neigh bourhood of the forum.
