ItADAME PASTA, TO THE F.DITOR OF THE STAR. arn—Yonr Cerrresp .hilent, in his statement of the' 'immense sums gi.en t" Madame PASTA as a reward 'Mount the exercise her talents, has omitted to state the 'Mown of the advantages the enterprising M 4nagers derived It this Lady's exertions. It is very true that the Proprietor of the Dublin Theatre guaranteed sod paid to Madame PASTA nearly the sarn ststed in your lannal on Wednesday. But it is equally true that the seinaining profit which the Manager put into his pocket, atter paying the Lady, was less than forty pounds. Thus, it seems, Managers and Proprietors of Theatres speculate for the benefit or Actors and Singers. AUDI ALTERAM PARTRM. POETRY.

Horse Guards, Sept.l.7, 1827. As the regulations and practice of the service do not authorise °dicers of the Medical and Commiwariat Staff to employ soldiers as their servants, and very great inconvenience has been found to - mutt from any extension of such indulgence beyond the limits san/tioned by custom, and fixed by regulation, the Commander-In ane( directs, that hen, eferward, no //tidier, whether belonging to brain/ or Veteran Companies, or Regiments of the Line, may 4t permitted to be employed as a servant to any (Racer on the or Commissariat Staff. By Command of Ms Grace the Commander-in-Chief, HENRY Tt)RRENS, Adjutant-Gen. Horse Guards, Ault 24, 1827.

IiTC ASI7RACE3. boackeentli, INIIIMSDAY NIGHT —The Gold Cop day is Amyl one of great interest here, nor has it on the present occasion lost any of its importance; indeed. It has this year surpassed all former meetings in the celebrity of the horses, and the extent of specula. don. Its result has been quite as unexpected as the &. Leger, and it is thought that nio.t of those who suffered on Tuesday were In for it again to-day. We have not yet beard of any defaulter of mo ment, and the whole settling seems to have gone of very quietly. The weather to-day has not been by any means favourable, and the ground is in a dirty slippery state, notwithstanding which the assemblage on the race course was almost, if not fully, as numerous and fashionable as on Tuesday. His Grace the Duke of Devonshire went to the ground In the splendid carriage used by him in his Busman Embassy,and surpassed all others in the general grandeur l of his retinue. Lord Fitxwilliam and Lord Milton were also is carriages and six. Lord Londonderry's, Mr. Beaumont's, and many other equipages, were also much admired. The ball on Wednesday night was attended by upwards of 700 fashionables, and under the patronage of the Duke of Devonabire, every sling went off In the highest style; it was a dress ball, and. the noble Duke was dressed in the Windsor unform, decorated with the star, garter, and collar. The line of carriages extended consider ably more than a mile. The new French quadrille band of Lintolff and Adams was in attendance, and gave general sati4.lction. Lin toirs two new quadrilles, called the Stew and the Freebooters. com posed for the occasion, were repeatedly called for. We understand that James Robinson, who rode the winner, has had presents made him to the amount of £l,OOO by Mr. Ctuick shanks and Captain Doubiggin, the former of whom wins and the latter £9,000. Mr. Petre, the proprietor of Matilda, per mitted hint with £2OO. Afametuke has again changed masters, having been purchased by Mr. Dilly, and to•murrow morning he starts for Mr. Drlly's stables at Newmarket. His match with Mr. Petre's Granby, which was fixed for to-morrow, is or. We et.hjoin an authentic return of the races this day, which have been excellent.

As this stakes brought some of the St. Leger borsesagain toge ther, there was some interesting betting on it, at the following odds —5 and 6 to 4 on Granby at first ; it then changed to 6 to 4 on the field, and closed at even betting on him ; the odds were 5 to 2 apt Moonshine, 4 to 1 agst Emma,lo to i agst Malek, and 20 to 1 apt Pelican. bloooshine started off with the lead, and kept it to the bill, where klalek got op and ran him to the rails ; they, however, then began to give way, and Granby having got up, soon pawed, and beat them all easy ; rode by W. Scott. The distance was run in 3 minutes and 26 seconds, being 2 seconds more than the St. Leger time. Two Year Old Sweepstakes of 20 sous. each, colts, Bst. 51b. and fillies, ear. 21b. T.Y.C.

The odds at starting, were 3 to 1 ea Velocipede, and S to 1 apt Bens , Bedlam, and plenty of business. The young ones went off well at the first trial, and came at a great pace, Velocipede making the play, but Bessy Bedlam's speed brought her out, and she won by nearly a length; rode by T.

Fleur de Lis, 5 yrs Mr. Nowell's b. b. Longwaist, 6 yrs Lord ICilburn's b. c. Reviewer, 3 yrs Lord Sligo's br. b. &etch, aged Lord Scarborough's b. c. Tarrare, 4 yrs Duke of Leeds's h. c. Moth, 3 yrs A great deal of confusion prevailed last night, from a most shame ful trick which was played off respecting Memnon. Some person circulated a report that Lord Cleveland did not intend to start Memnon, which having been brought to the New Betting-rooms as a fact, the heroes name was scratched out, and the cards printed without it. When the subscribers came to the rooms to proceed with the betting about the cup, :hey were thunderstruck to find him struck out, and some Noblemen instantly declared that it could not be correct. Some of then Immediately waited on Lord Cleveland, who was at a dinner party, and who was as • much surprised as themsel4es at the circumstance. His Lord ship instantly left his company for the rooms, where he gave the most explicit contradiction to the mischievous statement, and proceeded to back his horse to a very heavy 'mown, stating that dnce his defeat by Fleur de Lis on Tuesday, he had given hint a sweat, and had every reason to think he could win the cup. The betting then became very heavy, and we are well assured that more money was staked on this race than OS the Great St. Leger during the few days previous to its decision. It was 5 and 6t04 on the field agst Fleur de Lis, 4to 1 apt Memnon, 5 to 1 apt Mulatto, 6 to one agst Lungwalst, 6 to 1 apt Tarrare, 20 to 2 apt Actnon,2o to I apt Starch, and 100 to 3 against Reviewer. At the word" Go," off went Tarrare, Starch, Fkur de Lis, and Reviewer, abreast, the others close at their heels, and the whole beautifully together ; but in passing the St. Leger turn they tailed, Fleur de Lis and Starch leading, Tarrare and Mulatto next, Memnon very near, the others not much out of place, and the whole going at a terrible pace. At the Sat Mulatto got up and came out with the mare, but she could not live with him, and be won by a clear length. It was a dead heat between Fleur de Lis and Memnon, so that the judge could only place the winner ; Tarrare was fourth. Run in 4 minutes and 46 seconds. Although this race has been run in less time, it was one of the finest we ever witnessed, and its, result, added to his general good running, con vinces us that, but for the very heavy state of the ground, he would have won last year's fit. Leger easy. The winner was rode by T. Lye ; Memnon, by Chifney ; Fleet de Us, by Cottony (who rode also in the Leger of 1913) ; Reviewer, by Fisher; Actwon, by H.

The Russians have but a very imperfkct Idea of the pleasures of hunting, for in most instances the animal has net the slightkst chance of escape. When the Emperor is disposed to enjoy the delights of the chock, which seems to be but seldom, a few wretched hares are brought out In bags to the scene of action, generally one of those vast plains so numerous in Russia. Upon the signal being given, two or three of the parking and timid little creatures, already ball frightened to death, are let out of the bag, and immediately after two enormous lung-haired greyhounds, which overtake and kill them in a few seconds. And this is what, in those countries, is called enjoying the pleasures of the chAce !—Loruloos Weekly Review. REGISTER OF PUBLIC SALES, SEPT. 21. AUCTION MART.

For a long time vain attempts were made to abolish the Bohemian language at Prague. As the Bohemians constitute the majority in their native country, the national language has triumphed, and the Government has become convinced that It is lost labour to attempt abolishing the idiom of a whole kingdom. A theatre has recently bees opened for the performance of national pieces. HAYMARKET THCATRIL—The Duke Of SUSSBX vi sited this Theatre last evening, and remained during the whole of the very long performances. It was past twelve before the last piece commenced. • - We are happy to hear that Miss PATON has entirely recovered from her late severe indisposition, and is now enjoying the salubrious air of Brighton, where she re mains until the first fortnight in October, when, in con junction wi‘h BRAHMA, the Operatic Season will corn• mence at Drury lane. A new Opera is in preparation, in which they will both sustain principal parts; and in order to give every effect to the music, Miss PATON is now devoting her time to it, and declines all engage. ments until that period. Mr. Nice has engaged Miss GRANT, from the Royal Academy of Music, and who will make her debut in the above Opera. She is likely to become an acquisition to the musical department of this Theatre. J. BLAND is also engaged. In short, the vocal department is complete—PAros, W. GKUIN, Love, GRANT, BLAND, and BRAHAN.

For some time there has been great complaint amongst the inhabitants of Barking, in Essex, in consequence of the authority given by some of the Magistrates to stop up a highway, and to sell the inclosed ground at a price cal. culated to sanction a belief that undue influence had been exercised. A meeting was held in the church on Thurs day last, when it was stated that an order had been signed by two Magistrates for the sale of two acres and a half of ground for 51. 10s. at the same time that many of the most respe,table inhabitants were disposed to give no less a sum than 5001. for * it. After considerable discussion, it was resolved that the stopping up and sale of the ground privately by the surveyor without the knowledge of the parish, and with out competition, were highly reprehensible acts, and that the surveyor was guilty of a dereliction of duty.— It was, therefore, determined :hat the order of the Ma gistrates be appealed against at the Quarter Sessions; •nd that as the Vestry Clerk was the professional ad viser of the purchaser of the property in dispute, some other Gentlemen should be appointed' to conduct the appeal.

Mr. JAMES Ittchtaaison then read the requisition. Ja. A 'atm/sox, Esq. rose and said, that circumstance's had occult edwhich the Committee could not foresee, and which would, he was very sorry to say, proem their fill fi•ling in the hindsorne manner these marts of gratitude and esteem,which had at first been intended to Ver to his Grace. A letter had been received from Lard Howdy*, in which that N.iblensan stated, that the Duke of Wel lington was engaged to breakfast with his Grace the Archbishop, at Bishop's Thorpe Palace, ori theanorolng of Monday next. His Lordship also stated, that the Doke of Wellington's stay in York would be eery short. It had been proposed to give an eleg.nt cold collation, after which his Grace was to have been presented with the freedom of the City, their plan must now be altered, and it was for the meeting to determine what steps should now be taken to for ward a measure, which he was happy to say had met with universal approbation. He expressed the pleasure it gave him whilst going through the town to obtain signatures for the requisition of this meet ng, to observe the approval and gratifica• tion with which their proceedings were regarded. The Corporati is had :hewn equal alacrity on the occasion, AnJ he was fully convinced that it would have given general satisfaction, and been esteemed a high honour to have had his Grace as a guest at what might be called the table of this ancient city. A series of Resolutions were then passed, and a Committee ap pointed to carry the arrangements into effect for a procession to meet his Grace and conduct him into Y• tit, whet; the freedom of the city, and an Address froin a part of the inhabitants, will be presented to him by the Lord Mayor. We are glad to learn that from the preparations making, the procession is likely to be a very splendid one. Banners and Bags 'will be displayed with in scription', referring to the brilliant achievements of the Army ugder his Grace's minas old, in which that of Waterloo will be pre-eminent. We understand that it is the wish of the Gentlemen of the Committee that the presentation of the freedom should be public, and take place in the Festival-room, the gallery of which is solely to be appropriated to the use of the Ladies. The 9:11 Lancers, from the Barracks, with their band, and also the band and staff of the 2d West York Militia, will join in the procession. His Grace, after leaving York, on Monday proceeds to Stockton, in Durham, : where be has engaged to meet the inhabitants of that county.— York Chronicle. DUBLIN - , S►r?.l9. A criminal prosecution is pending here relative to the alleged abduction of a beirdless boy from a boarding school near town, and his subsequent marriage at Gretna Green. T he lawyers, taking it into their wise heads that the Commanding -Officer of the garrison could not but know something or the previous moves ments of one cf the parties, summoned him to bear witness thereto at the Commission in Green Street. The General being, as you may supp .se, well versed in all the rules of " the service," retuned. The lawyers in sisted. He got angry—they smiled. He threatened; but therein_ he had like to have_ " caught a tartar."--- for his man was Harry Grady. There, however, the matter rests for the present. The cause has been re• moved by certiorari to the King's Bench ; and Sir C. consequently, has till the next term to consider of it. Being in command of a regiment at Clonmel, Sir C. Grant gave offence in some way t r an honest shop. keeper, named Mulcahy, who struck him on the parade, in presence of his u hole corps. The officers rushed for. ward to seize the delinquent, but Sir Colquhoun inter• posed, declaring that he had been the aggressor, and as the gentleman thought proper to resent his conduct in so gross a manner, it remained for him to seek the usual reparation. "Oh !" exclaimed Mulcahy, "if it's for fighting you are, I'll fight you; but it shall neither be witttswords nor pistols, ur any thing else but my two fists"—(and fine big mutton fists they were, sure enough) —" Well then," replied the gallant officer, " with all my heart. By insulting you, I have put myself on a level with you, and of course cannot refuse to meet you on your own terms. Come along, Sir." The men were dismissed; and Colonel Grant, accompanied by his ad. versary and mutual friends, repaired to the mess room, where he very speedily closed up Mr. Mulcahy,s peep. ers, and sent him home perfectly satiffied. 'Tat was the proude.t day c,f Mulcahy's life, and many a time has he boasted of the black eye he got from a K. C. B. as if it were an honourable ordinary emblaaoned upon his escutcheon. " Ever since that morning," would he say—" let me meet Sir Colquhous Grant where I might, —in town or country—among Lords or Ladies—dress. ed in plain clothes, or diaened out in gold and scarlet —lie would give me his hand and say, " Hoe are you, Billy f" Yesterday afternoon, about one o'clock, as a French Gentleman, Monsieur Louts La Msssow, accompanied by a friend, was proceeding along Newcastle -street, Strand, in a cabriolet, the horse fell down while turning the cornet of the greet, and threw both Gentlemen out with considerable violence. Monsieur Louis La MASSON was taken up in an insensible state, and immediately conveyed to a surgeon's, where, after attempting to bleed him, he expired. His friend providentially escaped with only a few bruises. Yesterday morning a most distressing accident hap. pened at the residence of Mr. LEMAITItt, composition manufacturer, Berwick Street, Soho. Mr. LISSIAITRIC and two boys were preparing some composition. which was of a highly combustible nature, when it exploded, and shattered the windows of the building, at the same time the combustibles flew in their faces, which are dreadfully scorched and chattered. Mr. LiMAITRE'S features are scarcely discernible, the cartilage of his nose being completely torn. His hands are also shattered, and but little hopes are entertained of his recover y. One youth is at present blind, and although greatly injured, has not suffered so extensively as his master. The oast . escaped, 4 tip!
