FOR THE STAR. PROPRIETY OF TITLES.—" Once," said a Quaker, in a dispute concerning the propriety of titles, " I had the honour to be in company with an Excellence and a Highness. His Excellency was the most ignorant and brutal of his species, and his Highness measured just four feet eight inches without his shoes" PRICE OF MAKING A PARK A GARDEN.—QCEEN CAROLINE spoke of shutting up St. James's Park, and converting it into a noble garden for the Palace of That name. She asked my father what it might probably cost ; who replied, " Only THREE CROWNS." Walpoliana.' A PARASITE NOBLY REPROVED.—When COLONEL EDMUNDS, a gallant officer who had fought his way to military rank and distinction, was with the army in the Low Countries, there came to him a Scotchman, who to ensure himself a good reception thus accosted him in the presence of a great many brother officers,—" My Lord your father, and all the knights and gentlemen, your cousins, and kinsmen, are in excellent health." " Gen tlemen," said the Colonel, " believe not a word he says ; my father is but a poor barber in Edinburgh, whom this knave would make a Lord to curry favour with me, and make you believe I am a great man born, when there is no such matter." _ _ _ ROYAL GENTLEMAN.—We are told that upon one occasion, our late revered Sovereign GEORGE 111. signed himself " a gentleman of Berkshire."

He strains to talk wisely, and his modesty would serve a bride. He is gravity from the head to the foot, but not from the head to the heart : you may find what place he affecteth, for he creeps as near it as may be, and as passionately courts it. If at any times his hopes are effected, he swelleth with them, and they burst out too good for the vessel. In a word, he danceth to the tune of fortune, and studies nothing but to keep the time.—Sir Thos. Overbury's Characters. H I NM—A new convert to the Government to be sus pected.

We hear, from an authority, upon which we can place reliance, that the statement of Mr. HUSKISSON having signified a wish to come into office, without being parti cular as to the terms, is totally unfounded. Mr. ISSON has not made any intimation which could warrant such an assumption ; and the state of his health is such, that nothing but the most positive conviction that his services in the Ministry would be of value to the country could induce him again to accept office. During the last few months of his official duties the injury inflicted upon his constitution was so great, as to induce his medical advisers to assure him that recovery was hopelessu nless he allowed himself repose ; and we know that within the last few days, the members of his family, alarmed at the report that he was again coming into office, have intreated him not to risk his health by such a proceeding. That offers have been made to him indirectly is certain, but it is not true that he has offered to abandon his late col leagues. As to direct offers, none have been made—and Mr. Husxissoli will listen to no others,Sunday Times. _ _ _ Mu. Htisx Issox.—The negociations for this gentle man's joining the Cabinet are still going on, and the rumour gains ground that such an event will certainly take place, but we have not, as yet, any information on which we can implicitly rely. If he should be admitted again to office, however, two things muct occur; PEEL must resign his leadership, and HUSKIBBON abandon the further advocacy of his obnoxious principles. Next week we hope to be able to say more on the subject.—Sunday Paper. A letter from Boulogne of the 18th Oct. states, that 25 Englishmen, with some citizens of that town, pro ceeded on a hunting excursion, and did considerable damage to the surrounding country.

THE KING. • Witi molt, Nov. l.—This forenoon the KING, at tended by the Duke of CUMBERLAND, the LORD STEW A RD, Sit HERBERT TAYLOR, Sir ANDREW BAR- N A RD, and Sir FREDERICK WATSON, proceeded from the Royal Lodge to the new Chapel Royal, where Di vine Service was performed in their presence by the Rev. Mr. SEYMOUR. Friday afternoon Sir H. TAYLOR arrived at the Royal Lodge, on a visit to his MAJESTY. Yesterday, at nine o'clock in the forenoon, the Duke of CUMBERLAND arrived at the Royal Lodge and break fasted with his MAJESTY. After breakfast his Royal Highness had recourse to his favourite amusement— the sports of the field. Mr. TURNER, the head game-keeper, being in waiting, attended his Royal Highness ; and, confining themselves within the boun dary of the Great Park, chiefly in the environs of Sandpit-gate, where in general there. is a great quan tity of game, owing, no doubt, to the natural protec tion afforded them in that quarter, from the quantity of detached brushwood, fern, &c. his Royal Highness had excellent sport, bagging several brace of pheasants, and a brace of hares, in the short interval of two hours and a half. His Royal Highness returned to the Royal Lodge at one o'clock, and, after partaking of some slight refreshment, accompanied by the KING in his pony phaeton, followed by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, Sir ANDREW BARNARD, and Sir FREDERIC WATSON in the double-bodied phaeton, which in general is drawn by four ponies, and driven by two postillions in Royal livery,sattended by the regular retinue of outriders. His MAJESTY, on leaving the Royal Lodge, drove through the new plantations; Chapel Wood, and by the obelisk to Virginia Water, , in the environs of which his MAJESTY took several delightful and rural drives, returning to the Royal Lodge at half-past four o'clock, and at seven o'clock honoured his visitors and distinguished attendants with' his company to dinner. This day, after divine service, the Duke of CUMBERLAND left the Royal Lodge, on his return to his residence at Kew. Sir HER BERT TAYLOR Still continues his visit to his MAJESTY.

HORRID MURDER NEAR HADDINGTOA., A murder was perpetrated in the neighbourhood of Haddington, in the beginning of last week, which, tot cold-blooded atrocity, exceeds any crime of the kind—Burke's systematic butcheries excepted—which has disgraced Scotlard in modern times. In the village of Abbey, which is About a mile from Haddington, resided a poor widow. nutted Franks, and her daugh ter, a girl about fourteen years of age. The house they inhabited Is about a hundred or a hundred and fifty yards distant front the village. and is inclosed within a wall four or five feet high— The last time the inmates of this dwelling were seen alive was oi: Monday morning. Early on Wednesday morning, a miller belonging to the village was surprised by the piteous squeaking of a pig on the widow's premises. Conjecturing that the pour woman might be from home, and the animal in want of food, he was induced to go and investigate the cause of its outcry. Finding t s acceu by the gate, be sealed the wall, when the first object that presented itself co Iris horror-atr•tek gaze, was the body of the widow lying in the pig-stye. with her throat cut, and otherwise dreadfully mangled. The seller immediately alarmed the villagers. several of whom hurried to the scene of death. On entering the house they disceeers el the girl also a corpse, with her head severely bruised a- it by Wines from some heavy instrument. It w►s found on examination that the widow's marriage ring, which she constantly wore, had dtup• prated. and that her ear-rings had been torn nut of her ears. I'M • motion of the murder having been carried to Haddington, the Sheriff instantly repaired to the spot, and after a strict investiga tom, a man was apprehended under strong suspicion. and lodged in jail. He said be had come from a distance to make inquiry cancel ning the murder, and some inconsistency in his conduct led to his apprehension. It appeared, on investigation, that the elder female had been murdered on the walk in her garden, for traces of blouri were di.. covered on it, over which gravel bad been strown. Her head was almost severed front her body, and was, besides, greatly contused. The skull of the girl was beaten in, and a heavy poker which was in the house i• supposed to be the instrument wherewith tino murderer accomplished her &stollen iiii . The husband and father of the utif..l tunate pair stied about three or four weeks ago. He had at one time been a domestic servant to the I.•e Lord Eleho, and eujoyed an annuity from the Earl of The widow, who was bet tv.on 40 and 50 years of age, was left it. apparently comfortable circumstances—though not supposed to lie rich. We have hard that a gold watch and several other valuables which she possessed are missing. Another daughter was absent on a visit to an aunt at North Berwick at the time the double 'model was committed; and it was believed by the tieighbouts, prior to tit:- discovery, that the whole family had gone thither. We nerd scarcely add, that this diabolical deed—which may take its place beside the memorable Mar murder—has excited a great sensatitai In every corner of East Lothian. The following narrative, containing several additional particulars, is front a gentleman in Haddington : " On the evening of Monday, the 25th curt. two murders, the most savage and atrocious that have ever been committed in thial part of the kingdom, were barbarously accomplished. The victims thereby brought to a premature and untimely end were Mrs. Franks, widow of the late Lora FAcho's butler, and their 'laugh- • ter, a promising girl of 15 years of age. residing in a house at tiro Abbey of Haddingtan, detached about 200 yards from the other !Muses of that village. aim Franks and her daughter were obsetveti by the neighbours, as usual, on the Monday, but the following day it was remarked that the house was shut up, and concluded that the Inmates had gone from home on a visit to their friend.. We d• neaday, however, one of the inhabit:los of the village , seeing the house still abut up, and knowing that 31r.. Franks kept a pi,z. looked into the place where it is kept, to see that it was red. when, to his dismay, he beheld the mangled corpse rat the wont it:. Having called others to the spot, it was discovered that her skull was shockingly fractured, and her throat cut and mangled in many places. The peoele then observed that two panes of the bask window were broken, and that it had the appear. ante of having been opened ; one of them went into the home by this window, and found upon the kitchen table the key of the out, r door, which he opened, and allowed one or more of the others to enter—they immediately searched the house, and in an inner apartment discovered the dead body of the girl, having her skull most dreadfully fractured. It appeared that the watch, marriage ring, and ear-rings, of Mrs. Franks, had been carried off by the murderer or murderers, and that 1 drawers containing the body-clothes of the deceased had been ransacked. It is thought that the unfortunate girl first fell a victim to this awful outrage, and that her mother bad got out of the house to give the alarm, and had been overtaken at the back garden door, where it is evi dent, front the immense quantity of blood on the ground, she had been murdered. The villain pad then thrown the poor woman into the pig -house, locked the outer door, laid the key on the table. and escaped by the window. The civil authorities from Had diogton were immediately on the spot after the discovery of the murder, and art following out the requisite inquiry with the greatest diligence and discretion; and it is enough to say. that .1 man, strongly suspected, has been lodged in jail."—Ediaa.Paper. wBMBBIBIIEIt YORK MINSTER.—A liberal donation of 5001.

ORIGIN OF TIIE NEW SYSTEM OF POLICE.—There is a curious election anecdote connected with the organization and arrangement of the New Police. Mr. Cameo, in 1818, on his return from Lisbon, was proposed for Liverpool, and opposed by Lord Berton ; on that occation, a gentleman connected with the London Press was engaged as the election agent of the No: le Earl, and proved himself a very active partizan ; so much so. that the late Minister and the Corporation were much alarmed for the result. This gentleman being called in b•ut a few days before the election tom menced,bit upon the following novel expedient to canvass effectively thst populous place : he took a small map of Liverpool, fixed his head-quarters at a tavern as near to the centre of the town as possible, and then with his compasses struck six circles at equal distances, numbering them regularly; these he again divided into eight lozenge compartments, distinguishing them from I to 8, as of circle 1,2, 3,4, sor 6 ; to each of these circles was ap pointed a captain, and to each of the eight divisions of the circles a lieutenant and four canvassers; to every lieutenant was delivered his segment of the map or circle; his duty was to note down in a book, the name, residence, and probable bias of the voter: in his district ; these notes were re-copied every night into the book of the captain of the circle, who reported the result at bead-qua sssss . In this way the populous and exten sive town of Liverpool was effectively canvas►ed in five d..ys, and a tolerably accurate state of the voters obtained by a stranger to the place; who, after the contest was over, became known to Mr. Caesium, when the latter requested Isom hint the plan iti question ; and on obtain:ng it, remarked that it would form th:• ground-work for an excellent system of Police. This document, it is presumed, was found in Mr. Comma's office by Mr. rlttL, and from it some useful hints have evidently be-en taken in the or. ganization of the new system.—Sunday Paper.
