The mendicants of Rome generally exercise two professions—they are beggars in the streets, and models in the studio of the artist. Idlers—but not thieves—insolent in the midst of filth—proud of their rags—they have all the vices of indolence, yet nothing of that busy, scheming, and dangerous dis position to intrigue, of which Lazarillo de Tormes is the prototype. Rome alone affords such models ; and Nature has bestowed upon them noble features, vigorous bodies, with a commanding air and a majestic gait, which at every step reveals their origin. To despise them is impossible ; they are not only tolerated, but their inde pendence and pride have entitled them to a certain de gree of respect. The celebrated Barbone is the chief of this illustrious society ; in himself he is Saint Peter, Saint James, Beli sarius, Satan, Pluto, St. DominicouldJulius Cesar; he is a sort of universal historian, who, in lieu of narrating facts, personates them ; his reputation is great, and what is not ooinmon, he deserves it; and he is, perhaps, the only hero in the world whose fame will not suffer on a close ap proach. His head, Roman, admirably designed, and of a character the most noble and expressive, is crowned with a forest of hair, black as the raven's win, and covering his shoulders ; fine sparkling eyes, redundant with life, and indicating, as it were, the presence and strength of terrible passions—his height almost superhuman—and his attitudes such as those in which a classic fancy would invest the forms of a Coriolanus or a Brutus. His physiognomy is ferocious—his address courteous—his language laconic, and not without dignity. He begs—he basks in the sun, and, when sharply pinched by hunger, he lends himself to an artist as a model, at the rate of a scudo s-day ; then he returns to the sun, to enjoy the wages of what he denominates his labour; which, being expended, he has recourse to begging ; but never to the artist's studio, excepting as a last resouce, and when utterly destitute.—Foreign Literary Gazette. TOTTENHAM THEATRE.—Miss GRADDON was to have appeared at this little Theatre last evening as Addis in the flaunted Tower end Apollo in Midas; but in consequence of a letter received from her,stating that she was indisposed, M rs . Waeherr kindly gave ter assistance, and performed with her usual excellence. The new farce of Speculation seems likely to prove a good speculation for the management; it has made a great Mt.-- Viet sues performance in this piece is meet talented and effective. GATTIE is also entitled to much praise for his genuine and hu. morons delineation of the testy Frenchman. DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY.—The. following obser. rations were made on Tuesday evening, in the House of Commons, by Sir BUSIZY VTVTAX ' la consestuenee of some allusions to the sentiments uttered by him on a former occasion. He stated that the Hon. Member for Clare had either very much misunder. stood what had fallen from him in the course of the observations he had made on a former night, or had strangely misinterpreted what he had said (and he would not suppose it possible he could have done the latter intentionally) ; but he had a right to complain of the manner in which he had been referred to, and begged to assure the honourable member, that so fax front in favour of low wages in the manner represented by hlm, a vrt g inade it appear he did not feel for the lower classes, he had never even made use of the terms " low wages." The purport of his argument had been quite the reverse of that attributed to him, and the whole course of it was to show that low prices were in many respects advantageous, be. cause they enabled us to compete with the foreign manufacturer, and, consequently, employ the lower classes. As to wages be ing high ur low, he could not be ignorant that that was a mat terof comparison, dependent on the prices of the unease rim of life. He could not sit down without adverting to what the honourable member had said in iespect to the army. The illustra tion the honourable member had recourse to was a most unjust one. The army, he could confidently say, would at all times be Deter perform do th e ir duty to their King and country, a nd t h e y wou ld Deter perform that duty better than by making cheerfully such sacrifices as the necessities of the times might call for from them in common with the rest of their fellow subjects.—Mt. O'Connell, in reply, said: the honourable and gallant member has misunderstood me. I did not say that he spoke of law wages ; but he spoke of low ptlces, and 1 inferred that he contemplated low wages, which is the necessary consequence of low prices. Amanita ur Howouß.—At a late hour of Saturday night information was given at the Police-office that, in consequence of a horsewhipping match in Peteranreet, on the preceding day, a duel was to be fought on Sunday morning last, between two' of the fEsculapimi family, Messrs. P—T and o—o, and that, the better to elude any unpleasant interference on the part of I the authorities, one of the intended combatants, Mr. I'. had changed his lodgings to a house in Capel.strect. The police, Acting on the friendly hint, set a watch on the lodgings of Mr. P. during Saturday night, and up to an advanced hour on Sun day morning. Their " man," however, did not show himself', and, of course, escaped, while, in the mean time, his more lucky opponent had the good jortune to make his appearance, and to be arrested on the very ground, the " Fifteen Acres," toge. ther with two friends, by LEONARD, a patrol constable, from Chapelkod, who took his three prisoners to Arran-quay police_ office, where they were disposed of by the Magisuates in the usual way—An anonymous letter was received at the head police-office on Saturday afternoon, mentioning that the writer had that day been witness to an altercation between a Mr. Cowie/ALL, of the Green, and another gentleman, which led to the parties exchanging cards— which circumstance gave the writer the most serious apprehensions as to the consequences. The writer's fears, however, were , on re ceipt of thi s inf ormat i on , qu i ckly set at rest by the o--riLd un called for hurry of peace-officer BRADSHAW, in taking Mr. C. into custody, and detaining him till he gave bail to keep the peace.— DeLlin Morning Post. Busi NESS.—In the wealthy town of M— lived an oitigentleman of that description of bipeds yclept bachelors, who fey' many long rebellious years" had withstood tile earnest solicita tions of his (female) friends to enter into the state of matrimony. lately, however, he seemed to regret his long celibacy , and one evening, his f r i eu d s fi n di ng him in an unusually pliable mood, gathered around him, and at length prevail e d u pon L i es to " pop th e Tuition" t o a neighbouring female, who, they had no doubt, was L isPostsl to let slip no opportunity of exchanging single blessedness . 14 matrimonial felicity. To this lady, therefore, he " onward Pease' his way," and knowing from experience the 1, shortness of time," and having a decided aversion to any thing romantic, he re solved to adopt the most concise way of " despatching b usiness." On knocking at the door , the matron maid presenung herself, Madins ascertained " her to be her," he proceeded to "explain." "adah" said he, " my friends wish me to be manied—they night to ainbider of it: good day, ma'am;"leaving the astonished damsel to meditate on the proposition. On the eve of the day fort night, when sh e h a d proved that "h o pe deferred maketh the heart sick," a genteel rap was heard at the door, and, with trembling de light, sh e p roceeded to open it, when a voice she had once heard and never forgotten inquired, " Well, madam, have you decided :about the busi ness 1 named to you ?" She blushed, and, as la sandy sandy as she could , said something about "not wishing to &leo ! 3 . 1 !: friends , nor go out of the order o f P IOTIDEXCE , by lute time allowed her," &c. when the gallant suitor cut her short replying, " Madan), 1 see which way your inclination turns — this day week we will be married."

THE PUBLIC MONEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. SIR,—A few weeks ago, you had the patriotism and boldness to publish, in the STAR, an account of the wasteful expenditure of the public money, more par ticularly that belonging to the ordnance department. The attention of the public on that occasion was directed to the ten millions expended by the Honourable Board, during the war, on the heights of Chatham, Dover, and the Martello towns on the coast. You are well aware— and so is the country by this time—that these ten mil lions would have been fully as beneficially employed in adding a fifth wheel to every "four-wheeled carriage" in the United Kingdoms. The grand stand which ministers, and their system seated supporters, now make, is founded on the extraor dinary argument that the estimates for the present year are lower, or as low, as they were in 1792 or 1796. Without going into the comparative and relative condi tion of the country in 1792 and 1830—without touching on the existing distresses after fifteen years of peace, or on our prosperous state in the days gone bye—without going into the proof that it has been by the foul blunders of an incapable Ministry, that we have become so pow erless and destitute as we are—l shall content myself at present with disproving the ground-work of your placemen's present argument. The very interest of our enormous debt, of KIND HUNDRID sinuous—being about thirty-three millions—is more at this moment than the whole of our revenue was in those days ; and again after fifteen years of peace, we are told that the Army, Navy, Ordnance, and every other department, are brought down to the lowest possible scale, consistent with the safety and stability of the State ; nay more—that we expend less than we did in 1792 or 1796. This is the statement— the argument--of our rulers ! Now, for mine ; and, though an humble individual, let the public judge be tween us. That I may prove myself clear, and statisti cally correct, I shall, on this occasion, confine myself to a particular department. I have before me—having a good right—the Ordnance Estimates for 1830. From these, it is clearly perceivable that although wheat, meat, and indeed all descriptions of farm produce, are a shade lower than in 1792, yet the Estimates run thus : A Master-General Lieutenant-General Surveyor-Genera1......... 1,200 do. Clerk of the Ordnance 1,900 do. Principal Storekeeper Clerk of the Deliveries Treasurer 1,540 do. Secretary to Master-General ...... 1,200 do. Secretary to the Board There is a pretty little list for the contemplation of the country• ! Are there not any TWO decent men in the country who would undertake the job for half— nay a third—of the money ? Is there any real friend of his country that can look upon so disgraceful an esti mate, without feelings of contempt and dissatisfaction ? I More particularly when it is known that eight out of the nine actually form a part of that legislature which votes away what are called the " SUPPLIES for the current I year." Was it so in 1792 or 1796 ? Let the Cusx : CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER answer. You must not be uninformed, in this very place, about a circumstance which many, perhaps, may not In:aware of. SD HENRY CLINTON, while MASTER-GENERAL of the Ordnance, was absent in Portugal nearly two years as Commander-in-chief—receiving, all the time, allowances for both o, acs ! A motion, to be sure, was made for the abolition of the latter ; but it met with precisely the same fate as all other motions for retrenchment have met. You may firmly rely upon this fact—that during peace, and particularly at present, two, or three'at most, efficient officers are quits competent to all the affairs of the Ordnance department in two hoses a day : indeed, I can go further, and state without fear of contradiction—except in the House of Commons—that not even one man in the lint before you can be found at his post at any hour of the day, for at least five months in the year ! In this sweeping sentence, I do not confine myself to the Board Officers now enu merated : I include some of those gentlemen denomina ted clerks, storekeepers, &c, and beg to notice, by the way, that while many a gallant naval officer—many a broken limbed tar—many a man who has faced the ene mies of his country at the mouth of the musket aid the cannon, and senselessly—as it now proves—exposed himself to every clime- -pines away his last breath, with a broken constitution, " unable to dig and ashamed to beg," on the paltry sum of ss. or 6s. a day --these civilians—these lawless coxcombs, who batten on the treasure acquired by the life's blood of their fel lows, who never had a foot on the deck of a man-of war, and who are fit only to tread on a Brussels carpet, are reaping the labours of the hard fought battle for the salvation of the country. But I have not yet done—indeed scarcely begun— with the comparative statements of 1792 and 1830: these I shall dispose of in a *fay that cannot be denied— no—not by Mr. Gout.ituan himself—and which may have even escaped the financial acumen of Mr. Hume 1 The subjoined statement, showing the full pay and allowances in 1792, and the full pay and allowances in 1821 and subsequent years, will fully demonstrate the truth of the affair, and the falsity of the minister's argu ment:— FuU.pay & Full-pay & Allowances Allowances in 1792 in 1821-30 to the Board of Ordnance £ 510 0 .. • • .21,200',40 Chief to the Surveyor General 437 0 ... • 1,100 0 Auistant to do. 200 0 ....• 1,800 0 Chief Clerk to Clerk of Ordnance 300 0 .• • • 1,000 0 Chief Clerk to Principal Storekeeper 200 0 •• • • :750 0 Do. to Clerk of Deliveries 200 0 .. • • 750 0 DO. to Treasury 200 0 ... • 750 0 Do. to Board of Ordnance 200 0 ... • 900 0 Storekeeper at Woolwich 180 0 .• • • 700 0 Clerk of Survey at do. 100 0 .• • • 360 0 Deputy Storekeeper 80 0 •••• 980 0 Storekeeper at Rlymouth 140 0 ... • 750 0 Deputy Storek eep er 100 0 —. • 389 0 Storekeeper at Waltham Abbey 1 8 0 0 •• • • 625 0 Deputy, or Clerk of Cheque 90 0 ... • 304 0 Storekeeper at Gibraltar 182 10 ... • 000 0 Clerk of Survey 109 10 344 0 Deputy Storekeeper 91 5 290 0 Storekeeper at Faversham 150 0 .... • 350 0 I may mention, by the way, that the last specified Fa versham !gentleman is afarnser residing near that town ! The list now given you refers only to the live—the living stock—the existing pillars, or rather caterpillars : now let us take a specimen of the dead stock, and compare the full pay of 1792, with the half pay of 1821, as it stood at that time, and subsequent years, to this day : Pall pay la Retired allowance 1792. 1821, and since.

Sheerness ditto BO Woolwich; Chief Clerk Laboratory 200.. ... 4OO And as for the Tower Clerks, I know not well how to describe their condition : there is one at £355 ; one at £458: one at £320 ; one at £421; and one at £330. Besides all this abomination and profligacy, there is not a man of them—the Clerks at the Tower, the Store keepers, Clerks of Surveys, Deputy Storekeepers at Woolwich, Plymouth, Portsmouth,Waltbam Abbey, Pur fleet, &c. &c.—that have not elegant houses, free of taxes, and an allowance for a servant, a ll a t th e public expense ! It may be observed, en passant, that the full pay per diem of a Colonel of Artillery is £1 6s. 3d; of a Lieutenant Colonel, Ist Class, 18s. Id ; 2d Class, 16s. Old. The inferences from this incontrovertible statement, I leave the public to draw : as far as relates to you, it is merely a matter" between you and the Post!' In the course of a few days, I shall touch upon some other of our public establishments, when you shall see whether the country would not have been benefitted more by a clean sweep of some of them, than trifling away with three farthings on a pint of beer. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, London, Mara 24, 1830. SCR UTA TOR. • The Plymouth storekeeper, to the great comfort of the Go►ern. ment generally, and the public in particular, is in the enjoyment of excellent health : he has been receiving his 5771. per annum, retired alkorinsee, for twenty.five yews Row much longer the country is to be burdened with him, don only knows.

THE LATE FATAL DUEL. ADJOURNED INQUEST. Dont.tw, Maims 23.—Yesterday, the tr i o r r e sammessed on the inquest of Mr. O'Grady assembled at the at Portobello. The following witnesses were examined : Rev. Wm. N. Manly sworn-1 am curate of St. Peter's; I did not knew Standish Starner O'Grady till I was called to attend him in my professional capacity on Thursday evening ; he was lying in' bed wounded ; 1 had a conversation with him touching his death ; on speaking to him of the nature of the offence of which he had beenilty of against (lon be said, that from the nature of the ins ul t he had received be Captain Smith, he °cosi delvd that according to the accustomed laws of society, be could hardly do otherwise than what he had done; be went out in com pliance with such usage, but he had no intention whatever of in. piing Captain Smith; after some conversation on the subject of religion, asked him did he perfectly and freely forgive Cap tain S mith for having injured him ? He said, that after the Insult Captain Smith had given him in the street, he did not think Cap tain Smith would have fired on him; be said he did not consider it honourable in Captain Smith to fire; he did not say he discharged his own pistol ; but he told me he had never seen a duel fought be. fore, and that to his sight he was covered by Captain Smith's pistol a minute before Ise was fired at ; this conversation arose out of my speakinon the subject of fully forgiving Capt. Smith ; that if he con. he sidered fully forgave him, it would be necessary to shew that he had done so, and that if possible he should before a person authorised—. a magistrate—state something favourable to Smith, for that very often unfavourable reports were circulated of persons who had come off uninjured • he said he did not wish to make any such 'cleposi. tion, as under ' his present circumstances be should wish to state no. thing but4the truth, and he could state nothing favourable to Capt. Smith ; he said he would wish the subject to be forgotten when he was gone, and that his parents should not prosecute; be fully and freely forgave Captain Smith, and would not, if he could, exchange I situations with him = this all occurred on Thursday ; when I saw him on Friday we had no conversation oo this subject at all ' • he desired me to make that communication to his parents, and tha t he was fully resigned to his situation; I did not learn from Mr. O'Grady who it was sent the message. Mr. Kildahl here entered the room, and hoped that indulgence would be given to Captain Smith, to allow them a few minutes till counsel came. He (Mr. K.) wss acting here for Captain Smith, who wished the entire case to be examined into. J. W. Carroll sworn-1 am en apothecary ; I knew Mr. O'Grady perfectly well about twenty years • I last saw him on Friday, a t a quarter past one in the day, in P ortobello barracks ; his father sent me to see him ; O'Grady shook me by the hand, and said, Cat. roll, you are come to bury me. (The witness here burst into leant ) I saw he was wounded, but 1 did not examine him ; he said Cspt. Smith had wounded him; I entered into no conversation with him, because I thought it would be injurious to him; whatever he raid was said without its being elicited from him. He told me what he felt, and described his sensations when he was hit. The word, he said, was " ready"—" fire." On the word " ready " Captain Smith raised his pistol, and at the word " fire," he tired ; he said he thought the word " ready" was to put them on their guard ; but that at the word "ready," Captain Smith raised his pistol, and at the word "fire" he fired; but that he (Mr. O'Grady) was not aware whether he had fired or not, and that al. though the situation he was in was a very perilous one, he would not exchange it with Captain Smith ; he said he did not wish for a prosecution, as the feelings on Cap sin Smith's mind must be a suf. ficient punishment; from what poor Mr. O'Grady said, the impres sion on my mind was, that he was off his guard when he was hit. I never heard such an expression as that Captain Smith fired before his time; what be said w.ot, that Captain Smith ought not to have fired at him ; Mr. O'Orsdy said, he considered he was not to raise his pistol till the weed " fire;" he positively told me he dld!not raise his M. Dolan, Esq.—l was not acquainted with Mr. O'Grady, but I knew his person; on Wednesday, Patrick's day, I was on my way from Menden-square, and nearly at the corner of Frederick. street, when I heard some severe striking; I saw Mr. O'Grady struck; I saw the progress and the conclusion of the affair; I ran forward and found a gentleman in officer's clothes beating Mr. O'Grady with his gig whip; the officer had left his gig I suppose; there was another officer in the gig ; the gentleman who struck wore a blue frock cat; the beating he gave was a very severe one; I saw repeated and most severe striking • Mr. O'Grady did not offer any ratistance, but kept his ' hone in check all the time; when the officer was tired, I suppose, heating him, he retired to his gig; he gave Mr. 011tady a doses blows ; Mr. O'Grady ' rode up to the gig to ask the ollietr's name ; the officer gave his name Captain - 1301th, of the 11111 t" he gave no card. I suppose that the reason for Mr. O'Grady titling up to the gig, was to send a challenge. J. Tonikins, a coachman—tone Captain )lacnamara and Mr. O'Grady to the ground the Moral% after Patrick's day.

Mac:samara de. sired me to come here ; the doctor, but so other man, went into the field; when he went into the field, I heard Mr. O'Grady complain. ing that his thigh was broken ; he begged to be laid down on the by the i men, who bad him in their arms ; I did not hear f fr n O d 'Orady complain of unfair play; when the word was Owl, I heard the sound of it, but not the word itself; I could not say who gave the word; I cannot say how long Captain Smith had his pistol up before he fired, but I suppose he had it up about* second; I never saw Mr. O'Grady rise his pistol at all; not stir out of his position till he fell. John Burke: I reside in Golden-bridge; I am a ear-driver; the morning after Patrick's-day, a servant came before six, for me to go up to Hichmond.barracks ; Captains Mark= and Smith, came out; they had a small parcel, with a big cost rolled about it; to drive through the barrack-square, to the upper gate opposite the canal ; they told me to drive away, and when we came to the canal brid we stopped ; they got out upon seeing the carriage, and Capt.

Smith when he was India car going back, lamented greatly ; besaid be was very sorry for it, and he was crying along ; I knew the man on the ground to be Capt. Smith. R. Maensmera, Esq..—l am a surgeon ; I saw Mr. O'Grady, but not prnibau to his being wounded ; I was sent for professionally by Mr. Macnamara; I saw Mr. O'Grady on Thursday morning, the 18th ; be was lying on state, and complained of a good deal of pain; be had a gun.shot wound in the lower pert of his belly, ID the right side • I examined him and found the ball on th e o pp os i te side of the body above the left hip; it was evident under the skin la that situation, and on consultation with the surgeon of the Bth Hussars, Mr. Bradenock, and Assistant Surgeon Ore, was determined to remove the ball, which Surgeon Brade. nock did ; we declared the nature of the wound, after timid nation on the right side, to be severely dangerous; I men tioned the nature of the wound to Mr. Maataniara, who evinced considerable anxiety on the subject; at the same time I examined a case of pistols which I found in Mr. Macnamers's bed.room, one of which had marks of having been recently discharged • the Surgeon. General told me he had been with Mr. O'G rady when he died ; Mr. O'Grsdy repeatedly said, that he did not expect th at Captain Smith would have fired at him ; he assigned no rea. son ; be said he would not fire at Captain Smith, had he (Cap. tan Smith) been in. his situation, for 1,0001.; I asked him, Did he fire at Captain Smith? and he said he could not ex. aedy say he fired in the direction in which Captain Smith was ; but the impression be left on my mind was, that he had fired ; he said distinedv he did not mean to have done Captain Smith any ir. jury whin he fired ; I examined the body after death, and found ;hat the bullet penetrated the cavity of the belly, wounded the intestines, and perforated the haunch-bone on the eft side ; you may say broke the haunch.bone perforating it ; he bled to death in consequence of a wound of one of the arteries of the intestines ; the wound was caused by the passage of the ball ; the ball was a large one fora pistol bullet ; I would wish to say O'Grady expressed a desire to see his friends, particularly_ his bro. they, with a view to prevent a prosecution ; I examined Mr. O'Grady's face; there were certainly no marks of violence upon it ; if horsewhipped across the face it would be likely that there would be a mark according to the severity of the blew ; O'Grady said he understood the word was to have been " ready," " fire," and that the gentleman who gave the word, gave it in this way, " are you ready, gentlemen," at which word his antagonist raised his pistol ; that Mr. O'Grady seeing him do so, raised up his own pistol, and then that he felt himself immediately after hit ; he thought he knocked the left leg from under him ; and he felt a sensation 'hub. Jar to what a man would who struck his elbow accidentally Realest the table; be did not say be thought there was an unfair advantage taken of him.

O'Grady, be laid on liim just in that passionate way that a matt would beat a restive horse; he ran very quickly after 111 r. O'Oeady ; 31r.
