PRCPUSION OF TUE PUBLIC Ji/PENDITURE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. NO. II:--STATE OF THE COLONIES, AND THE ARMY MEDICAL BOARD. SI would be a matter of considerable interest were a correct and faithful Return to be made of all Taxes, and Imposts of every description, raised in the different Colonies of Great Britain ;—viz. the Cape of Good Hope, Ceylon, Van Diemen's Land, New South Wales, Malta, the lonian Islands, Gibraltar, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, Bahamas, Bermuda, &c. with an exact detail of their appropriation. It is contended that every Colony is taxed to en amount sufficient to defray all the expences of its defence ; and this ought to be the case as long as they wish to be de fended. But if the Mother Country overloads the Colony with Governors, Secretaries, Treasurers, Commanders of Forces, and St aff Officers of all descriptions, it is utterly impossible that the moat extensive scale of taxation can support the expense. This point may very easily be ascertained ; and a Return of the Number of Inhabitants with the Number of Troops in each Colony, would soon show how much the Official Appointments exceed the necessity of the State, and how disproportioned is the Staff to the number of Troops. Let us look, for instance, to Van Diemen's Land, where there is one regiment of 600 men, and we shall find a monstrous and a needless expense incurred there ; unless, indeed, it can be shown that any necessity exists for the services of an Assistant-Commissary-General, and a Deputy, with Clerks, Storekeepers, &c. for the supply of one Regiment ! In the Colonies there was formerly a Civil Governor with a moderate salary. The Senior Regimental Officers commanded the Troops, and a Town Major very adequately discharged all the duties of the Staff. And so it might be now. With a Con tractor to furnish food, the Commissariat Train might well be dispensed with ; and the Commanding Officers might, without the slightest inconvenience to themselves, or detriment to the public service, relieve the country from the burthen of Military Governors and Commanders in Chief ; whilst all the other duties, which now seem to require distinct appointments, might be most efficiently performed by the Adjutants, Paymasters, and Quarter Masters of the regiments on each station. In the West Indies there must be a Commander of the Forces at Head-Quarters, and an Officer of the Adju taut-General's Department, with a subordinate Officer of the Commissariat ; but at the Dependencies, there can be no necessity for General Staff Officers—the Regi mental Staff being equal to all the duties. Formerly, even in the West Indies, there was only a Garrison Sur geon in each Island; now they swarm with Medical Staff Officers of all grades—lnspectors, Deputy-In spectors, Physicians, Staff-Surgeons, Staff-Apotheca ries, Staff-Assistant. Surgeons, Purveyors, Deputy-Pur veyors, &c. &c. And all these superfluous establish ments are maintained contrary to the recorded opinion of the DIRECTOR-GENERAL of Army Hospitals, who, in his evidence before the Commissioners of Military In quiry (see the Fifth Report) declares, " that Army Phy sicians are, at all times, useless ; that Staff Officers are rarely necessary, even in war time ; and that no medical aid is ever required beyond that of the Regimental Medi cal Officers, except perhaps a few Hospital Mates to fill ap vacancies." This latter aid may be required in the West Indies, even in Peace time ; but it cannot be re quired at any other station—much less can there be any occasion for the higher Staff Officers. Contrary, also, to the recorded opinion of the Di RECTOR-GRN ERAL, Medical Staff Officers of the highest rank have been lately sent to India, where such appointments never ex isted heretofore ; just as if these appointments were made to avert the possibility of the DIRECTOR-GENE RAL's carrying on his duties economically ; or for the more probable purpose of creating business, and justify ing the expences of the Army Medical Department in this country. It is said, and I hope with truth, that the whole sys tem of the Department is speedily to be brought under the consideration of Parliament. Should an inquiry be Instituted, I would most earnestly entreat some zealous advocate of retrenchment to compare the Medical Staff of all the Colonies in 1830 with that of 1792 ; to coin par: the expences of the Army Medical Board at the same periods ; and particularly to inquire into the num ber and pay of the Retired o . fficers of that Board —or, ebeu to compare the expences of the Department from the year 1804 to 1814, during a period of most moment ous was fare, with the fifteen years in which we have en ;,)yed profound peace, since 1815. In short, if the pre seat Military Staff, of all descriptions, in reference to the proportion which its Officers bear to the number of troops an every station, be contrasted even with that employed in 179'2 —both being times of peace—the disparity will at wive justify the most urgent demand for a reduction of the establishment, and a consequent reduction of the public e \penditure. I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant„ INVLSTIOATOR. tindon,.4prill6,loo. CHRISTCHURCH, SURREY. • -..1111.-- SECOND DAY. fe.terday morning the poll commenced with considerable spirit. M. Mapleton, the Rector, presided, and 3lr. 3leymott, the late Ve.try Clerk, attended for the " old party." as they were termed by lom by way of distinction from the " Bundles, or Reformists ;" And Mr. Matland for the latter. At the commencement of the pollee eight o'clock, Mi.MATLAND entered a written protest to the proceedings, inasmuch as the Com missioners of the Local Act bad no right to proceed under the Sta. tote commonly called " Sturges Bourne's Act." Mr. HUNT and Mr. WOOLEN followed on the same side; the latter insisted that the proceedings about to be adopted were not ac. =ding to law. Mr. BOWDITCH, the re-elected churchwarden appeared to be in considerable doubt as to the legality of the pioceedinp ; and al though he was obliged to be present by virtue of his yet be wished not to b e deemed responsible for any infraction of die law. The Rev. Mr. Mari.vrow the rector, would not say whether or not the Tarry were about to pr oceed according to law; but he would refer to Mr. lileymott as the person most likely to know. After a long discussion, they ventured to proceed upon Mr. Sturges Bourne 's Act, at the same time taking cognizance of the protest whi c h h a d been entered by the opposing party. The poll was conducted throughout the day with tolerable good humour, until the clock struck six, when the books were cast up, _nil there appeared— _ _ _ Churchwarden. is?

We have received Cape Papers to the 20th of January. The following is an abstract of the Act of last year for the establishment of religious liberty as applicable to the Cape : " Whereas an act was passed in the rOth year of his Majesty's reign, entitled, An set for the relief of his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects,' and that it is expedient such enactment and mei skins of said act as are applicable to this colony be extended thereto, so modified as to meet the circumstances of the we; it is there fore enacted, that after the commencement of this ordinance, it shall be lawful for any of his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects to hold, exercise, and enjoy, all civil and military Alas, and places of trust or profit under his Majesty, his heirs, and successors, and to exercise any other franchise or civil right, upon taking anti sub. scribing the following oath instead of the oaths of allegiance, supre macy, and abjuration, and instead of such other oaths as may be now by law required to be taken for the purpose aforesaid." Here follows the oath, in which deponent swears to protect his majesty from all conspiracies and attempts against his person, crown, and dignity, and to disclose such, ac.—also to support the succes sion to the crown of the Hanoverian family—to abjure the opinion that Princes excommunicated by the Pope can be deposed and mur dered by their subjects, and to deny a belief that the Pope or any other foreign potentate has temporal power or influence over the realm of England; and that the deponent will not exercise any pri vilege he possesses to weaken or disturb the Protestant religion or government of the United Kingdom. Every person professing the Roman Catholic religion shall, within three months from the date of the ordinance, before he exercises the privileges above-mentioned, take the oath required. Any person entering upon the exercise of such privileges without having complied with the above provision, shall forfeit 1001. to the Kinand the appointment he may have accepted shall beeome void. Any Roman Catholic ecclesiastic, or member of any order, com munities, or societies, who shall, after the commencement of the ordinance, exercise any of the rites or ceremonies of the Roman Catholic religion, or wear the habit of his order, except within the usual places of worship, or in private houses, shall on conviction forfeit GOL _ _ Jesuits and members of other religious or monastic orders being allowed to reside in the colony at the date of the ordinance, and it being expedient to make provision for the final suppression of the same therein, it is enacted that they shall deliver in a statement of their place of residence, and in ease of any person of the above de scription not complying with this, they shall forfeit every month 501. to the King during the time of their remaining in the colony. Any Jesuit or member of such monastic orders deemed and taken guilty of any offence, shall be ordered to be banished the colony for his natural life. It is lawful for the Governor to grant. by licence, permission to any Jesuit or other member of a religious order, permission to come into the colony, and remain there for such period as the Governor shall think proper, not exceeding in any case six months, and any person not deporting within 20 days after the expiration of the term, shall be banished the colony for life. An account of all such Hamm are to be laid annually before His Majesty's CounciL Any Jesuit, or other member of a religious community, who shall admit any person to become a member of his order, shall be fined and imprisoned, and any person becoming a member shall be ba nished for life. --- AlLilitisfitrther enacted that this ordinance shall commence and take efect at the expiration of ten days from and after the passing theme.

The following letter from a Jew in Holland to a friend in this country, who inquired into the condition of the Jews in the kingdom of the Netherlands, will show, that in a country where the Jews are much more numerous than ity are ever likely to become here, there is To jealousy in admitting them to any employment which they are fit to hold. The letter is from M.

Under the French Government I was a Judge in the Tribunal de Pre. mien Instance of An:mention, and a member of the Conseil (ie. anal de Departement (being at that time the Provincial States). M. C. Asset has been a Justice of the Peace at Amsterdam since the Restoration of the House of Orange. 1 was Judge for three years, until 1807, when I resigned. I was Secretary of the Com mission which framed the Constitution, and am at this time a Knight of the Belgic Lion. hi. Auer, whom I just now named, has been employed since the year 1807 in the office of the Minister of Justices, or what the French call Chef de Division. He is a Iteferendary at the Council of State (in French. Maine de Requetes), and a Knight of the Order. So were Mr. Al. S. Amer (his father), ' Mr. Cappadose, and Mr. Davide, all eminent physicians here, and at Rotterdam. Mr. T.

My brother is a lawyer, and Major of the Militia here We have a many lawyers, attorneys-at-kw, banisters, and eminent physgt, bo th here, at the Hague, an d Rotterdam, and a great many Jews are employed in less important offices. Mr. Mender de Leon is a member of the Common Council of this town; so is Mr. Ezekiel, in Rotterdam , and Mr. Weil, a physician, at Amersfoort. In the army we had Mr. L. S. Boas, a Captain, who was drowned in the shipwreck of the Waterloo transport, with five other officers, bound for the Indies. In the colony of Surinam, to which my friend klr.

BOW-STREF:T. It will be in the remembrance of our readers (OA:, 10.14. T tune as*. Mr. CONST, the Chairman of the Sessions, refused to try a juvenile delinquent under the age of ten years, placed at the bar before him. alleging that so young a child could not.confonnably to the rules of law and common sense, hada:sued capable of perpetrating the crime of felony. The decision at the time cached a considerable sensation, and since then the magistrates at the different police.ofhces tare manifested great reluctance to entertain charges of that description, preferred against children of tender years. Yesterday John Saandali, a boy under ten years of age, was brought before Sir RICKAID BLUM sod Mr. HALLS, charged with having stolen six half-crowns and two shilliogs from a shop. The robbery was the result of great ingenuity on the part of the prisoner, who exhibited in the execution of his evil project cunning far beyond that which might be expected from an infant of his age. He called several times during the day with different boys younger than himself for trifling articles, and on each occasion money was missed from the till. The prosecutor marked two shillings, and when the prisoner called again, watched him. The child he brought with him asked for a farthing's.worth of slate pencil, and while the prosecutor was serving hint be observed the prisoner's hand paned round the end of the counter near the till. The boys had scarcely quitted the shop before the prosecutor missed two shillings, and immediately followed them. As soon as the prisoner found that detection was inevitable he threw the money away and endeavoured to escape by running. He was, stopped, however, and given into custody. Mr. Hat.r.s asked how the prisoner had got at the till ? The prosecutor replied that he introduced - his little head through a wick which had not previously been observed. Mr. HALLS observed that &MOW Ingenious robbery be had seldom heard of, performed, too, by one of Mr. Coast's innocent babes, who were incapable of committing felonies. The idea was perfectly ri diculous. air R, Btatitt said that this child certainly disproved Mr. Const's impression, but asked what was to be done with him ? Mr. BALLS—Oh, pack him up in a band-bog, and send him with our compliments to Mr. Const, to dispose of as he shall think fit. (A laugh.) The prisoner was then committed fur trial. MANSION-HO USE. ASSAULT UPON THE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN OP THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. J. Edger Kearney, Esq. who, it was stated in the Justice-room, is a Colonel in the East India Company's Service, was chimed before the LORD MAYOR with having violently assaulted Wil liam Astell, Esq. M.P. Deputy Chairman of the Honourable East India Company, under the following circumstance : —From Mr. As tell's statement, it appeared that the defendant came up to him as he was going from the East India House to the London Tavern on Wednesday last, and wished to enter into conversation with him upon the subject of his (Mr. Kearney's) application to the Board of Directors, for the sum of UR. to defray the expenses of his voyage, we understood, to and from India. The prosecutor stated to 31r. Kearney, that the case had already been heard and decided upon by the Bona, and he (Mr. Astell) could not inter fere, the matter being wholly beyond his controul. Mr. Kearney was not satisfied at this explanation and assurance, but continued to follow him, and a friend who accompanied Min, until they ap. Remelted the London Tavern. The prosecutor at length told Mi. Kerney that if be did not go away, a pollee officer should be called, and aedaeed to take him into custody. Mr. Kearney became more and more troublesome, and at last raising his umbrella, he Muck the pm:atter with it violently over the eye. Mr. Astell's qv bore very palpable evidence of the bbw. It was, of course, found mow vary to all in the assistance of the police. Mr. Kearney 'hewed, in the London Tavern, in which all the parties found themselves imme diate) y a ft er the blow was struck, a very strong disposition to re peat the violence, but was Loch, Jun. Esq. M. dr re s i Ae. that he was walking arm in arm with tbelprosecutor, when tie delindant aggroadied them, and addressed Ur. Astell as to the enfilades ea ifilleird of Directors which had been rejected. Mr. AMA, after MIN 43 upon the Impropriety of Mr. K.'s following We, sad him on a question with the decision of Wait be bed noddies se sam• doned that be would place Mr. Keraney in the heeds of a pollee officer if the interruption were not dissiodnued. Soon after this the act of violence was committed upon Mr. Aelell i without any Font cation whatever upon the part et that endoess. The LORD MAYOR asked the isiimikst whether it was his wish to say anything in vindication Mr. Kearney stated that he had been informed by Lord Ellen. ,to whomwhom he stated the nature of his demand upon the ET i f il ndia Company, in whose service be had long been actively yid, that his claim was valid, sad his Lordship particularly nienW that the matter lay with Mr. AstelL He (Mr. Kearney) naturally applied to the quarter alluded to ; but instead of baring met with a conciliatory or polite reception, be was most rud re pulsed. Mr. Astell even pushed him away when he spoke oche claim, and of course subjected himself to any subsequent violates that might have taken pla ce. Mr. As tell declared that he neither pushed nor touched the de fendant ; and Mr. Loth stated to the same effect. The Loan Blimoa ordered the defendant to find bail, viz. two sureties for 1001. each.; and himself foe the sum of 2001. ALLEGED MURDER. The mysterious disappearance of a young man, named Henry Joseph Oreen, a printer and compositor, from Ilford, con. tinues to create great anxiety at that place. Yesterday a hip. Cave waited on the Magisuates at Lambeth.auvet, and handed in a state. ment made by a female residing near the village, stating, that at • late hour on the night of the 13th of last month (the night on which Green had been last seen) she heard a stale and noise in a brick &hi near to her house, and on listening for a few flutes she distinctly heard a person in a loud voice ask, " What do you mean ?.' and another exclaim, . 1 Curse me if I don't," and a violent shrieking followed. Knowing the voice of the person who bad made the exclamation to be that of bee moo. in.law, and imagining that he was beating his wife, her (laugh. ter, she left her house and went to their cottage, but finding every. thing silent she returned back, and was scarcely inside the door when she heard distinct cries of " Murder, murder, followed with sup pressed groans, as if proceeding from l a person In distress. She had since a conversation with her daughter on the subject, who told !ter that she was so terrifiesi that she could scarcely get any sleep, or remove the thought of Green front her mind ; and when ever she went to sleep she fancied that he was always before her. She further suited, that, on the night of the 20th, a Bow. street patrol knocked at the door, but her husband would not gas up to admit him. 3lr. Cave said, he was of opinion the man had not gone away fir the purpose of deserting his wife. The grounds an the neighbourhood had been examined, but without success. Mr. Cave added, that the expression of " What do you mean ?" was an expression Green was in the habit of using. The Magistrate said the case was fraught with suspicion, and proni6ed to send an officer down to Ilford. DUEL PREVENTED. A few days ago, information wus given to Mr. Conant, the Police Magistrate, that a challenge had been sent by Mr. Marks Nicholson, the celebrated flute player, to .Ir. James, the editor of " The Fli ;; itt 'a Magazine," in consequence of an article which had appeared in the last number of that periodical, which 11111.4 considered by Ms. Nitholsor. of a petsonal nature. To prevent a hostile meeting between► the parties, Mr. Conant, on receiving the in formation upon oath, issued a warrant, which was put into the hands of Goddard and Clemente, the officers who took the belligerents hit° custody, and conveyed them to the Ma. gistrates' private room at Marlborough.street office, where they were severally bound in their own recognizance' in the sum of 4001. and produced two sureties in the sum of 2001. each, to keep the peace fur twelve months. It appeared that a good deal of ill feeling had existed between the parties fur some time, and the article which produced Mr. Nicholson's challenge was entitled, " Death of Charles Tootle Too, Esq." The Magistrate lamented that mere existed so little harmony amongst the gentlemen, and quoted the well-known couplet : " Strange that such difference there should be 'Twixt Tweedledum and Tweedlctlee." " The bail having been taken, the parties were discharged out of custody. It is reported that Lord W. Montagu, a son of ilte Duke of Manchester, will shortly lead to the hymeneal altar the lovely anti accomplished Miss Emily Dupre, daughter of J. Dspre, Ksq. of Portland-place.
