ASSECA'S FAMILIAR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sia,—As you on Saturday anticipated, that impure Fleet &rest Prostitute--so notorious for hideoulprednections,was yesterday, as to duty hired, once more damning himself in aeventh•day pollutions. His loathsome task, however, he performed with the uneasy effrontery of detected guilt; and, trying .to laugh at the hissing finger, would have sculked away from scorn by invidious recrimination on your contemporary "The Times," thrown villainously out to divert public indignation from his own enormous shame. But who cook' be duped by this paltry Newgate tactic ? To detect the bribe, examine the sentiment detente of justice and of freedom is the fullest demonstration of purity and disinter estedness. A virtuous duty rewards itself ; but it is the advocacy of crime which betrays the mercenary and corrupt. To virtue, wickedness at least pays homage of hypocrisy ; and when the miscreant spurns at once the mask to brave opinion, and incur obloquy, it is obvious that his rashness must be bought with some guilty recompense. Who could believe that the unhappy wretch exists, who could advocate usurpation, despotism, spoliation and blood, from honest convictions? Let us then, for the sake of English character—for we believe the prostitute journalist, not withstanding his anti-national sentiments, its native of this couniry—Let us therefore, I my, try to persuade ourselves that his cupidity rather than 'his will has consented to this degradation of mind,—that it is the Mikes, and not altogether the atrocity of his tastes, abousissabk as some of them are known to be—that have overcome the scruples of a weak cunsciente, pirsued perhaps by secret remorse fox his hired at tempts to pervert public principle. We must, in humanity, there lore, refuse to believe his strenuous paw-paw denial of bribery " He is anxious" he expresses "distinctly to declare that let' who may have received the 5613,600," which it is stated figures in his Ilanziaxscr's accounts, as bribes to the rascally Editors (hem ! —that's rade) " not sae shilling of the Viscoures money has found its way to his Now, we readily believe his anxiety on this score to be truly sincere; for, however accustomed to labour under foul imputations, one would not like to sit down contentedly, branded with the epi thet of " Reveal." Is there a delinquent caught filching from a ben-coop that would willingly plead guilty, when there was a chance of escape? Then, what should we think of any Editor's criminal who could unblushingly step forward at once, and say " Yes—English readers ! I am justly suspected of being a rascal / I have outraged the public by falsehood ; I have promoted cholas and violence ; I have abetted tymny in ' deeds which caused to flow an ocean of tears and blood ; and this I have done under the temptations of a bribe:" Why, we should only then observe with Ilicsiams, that he was fool as well as villain." But we might reconcile suspicions with the declarations of the accused by admitting that not we shilling of the Imre cogniesd Ministers—his Ezcztamecis—the Vneolner's—money bad ever reached his office in Fleet Street." But then might not the bribe have been offered—aye, and accepted too--in the original shape of milieu. or in any other medium ; and that in what ever place of secret rendezvous the worthy Editor found his opportunity of judging "the high rank and connectlons!—the amiable manners and disposition !! of the Diunsems—his Ex cm.t.incY, the Yncousr!! !"—for the latter might be, "and yet his assertions at yesterday be literally correct. We should la dst upon his gables& ; and in corroboration of the mme, the attested oath of the Usurper's Endssary ; who, not being a patron of mine, I must differ from the grateful language .of his Sunday Satellite, to call him simply—the Miguelite Spy; Agana. With tears in his eyes be thus further remarks In reference loth* Times and his worthy Patna :—" With the way in which this Nobleman is spoken of In this paragraph, the English public may appreciate the scurrility/ and MULLASITY I with which the Nobility of Portugal are treated by the ad• herents to the Constitution." Unexampled impudence ! A Journalist who has for years subsisted by catering food for the malignant, who like a viper has fastened his venomed fang upon all that is respectable in public and private Ufe,--the weekly fabricator of falsehood and slander„—and yet, this Vituperator, after althea become an enemy to scurrility !!! Marvellous alum. sion. fjat where was the respect of this inhospitable slave for Portuguese Nobility, when, week after week, he. cow. ardly attacked the flower and pride of that nobility, who victims to patriotism, have sought an asylum on our shores?—Wbere was it when be heartlessly insulted their very Qszsat—an unprotected child, refused in our arms? Has he not glutted in their misfortunes, belied their honour, and de. nounced them, all and singly, to the executioner ? And yet,' for. sooth, he will not permit us to treat a Portuguese apostolical ad. venturer,deputed by tyranny and jesuitism, withfanaliarity,merety, beaus.—Goo bless us !—he brings a bribe of 68,000 milrees! If portions of that spoil has, in him, indeed, purchased a tool,he might not—ascot not, be familiar with his master. But what does the Tuns owe to this despicable intriguer? and what free English gentleman would nut conceive himself dishonoured by any familiarity with the lacquey of a bloody Despot—sent hither to beg chains for his country, to purvey for the scaffolds, and bribe mer cenary Newspapers? Familiar, indeed! I thank him for the word, and shall henceforth designate him " the Fa miliar of Amiga," St, in all conscience, for a Familiar of the Holy Inquisition. He moreover, Sir—mark it well— sneeringly employs the words "adherents to the constitution" as a term of reproach; as if an Englishman's non-adherence to that principle did not constitute a traitor. Let the strong tyrannize the weak; power encroach upon the people; the scourge of the slave-driver mat tyrize the bodies et human victims; deny hospitality ; persecute misfortune;• ' league against the freedoms of nations, the liberties of England,—and this Familiar of Asszca will advocate it all! Long divorced from natural and manly inclinations, his impudence is equal to his perversions, that he can thus presume to publish sen timents which, if uttered at our private tables would enforce the ejectment of the unworthy guest, In punishment of his audacity. —As his neighbour Casing has raised his engine against religion, so does A•saca's Familiar work his against society. He would destroy the love of freedom in the ignorant and youthful reader; he would have slave written on oar fore heads; and with him, prostrating us in the dust, would ezuk to see us lick the foot of tyranny, while be sneered at the wreck of British Institutions. There is something too rigid, too pure, too mare, in constitutional Government. Corruption flourishes under despotism, and be is its friend. Nero was not odious to all; Caligula and Nehogabishis had their partisans ; Sordampoless was both envied and advocated; Jialespies-re and Masai•—nay Burke and Hare, were defended ; and like these, Don Moon. has the worth of his milreas—ln this Sunday Champion.--Assecit's Amine. BRITANNICU& The Grand Duke Constantine left Brussels on the 11th of October for Germany.

According to some accounts, he has been sacrificed to the resentment of the old Queen. It is also stated that orders have been given to the division of the Marquis of Chaves to assemble at Lisbon, from whence they are to proceed to the Por tuguese islands; and it is much feared that their presence in the Capital will cause conunotions.

A letter from Tampico of • the 14th August, via New Orleans, brings accounts that two conductors,, with a large amount of specie, one from Zacaticas, the other from San Luis Potosi, had nearly. reached Tampico ; but, in consequence of the invasion of the Spaniards, they had been ordered into theinterior. The specie was prin cipally on account of foreigners. The French and English merchants had remonstrated against the measure, but without effect. The opening of the Free Port of Penise, was to take place on the Ist of October; and it is supposed, it will have considerable traffic with the Levant. A report prevailed that an express reached Mexico with information, that a squadron of nine vessels, sup wed Spanish, fitted out at Manilla, bad arrived on the West Coast of Mexico, and had been seen off Acapaleo. At a very early hour yesterday morning, Hawkins, the gamekeeper belonging to the Regent's Park, being out on duty, observed a man very busy about the ornamental waters in the Regent's Park, and, after watching him for some length of time, he discovered he was robbing the waters of fish, with which they abound, as well as with wild fowl. He immediately went up to him, and seized him with his booty, and gave him in charge to one of the New Police officers, who conducted him to St. Mary-la bonne watch-house. Tun Naw PoLica.—The Commissioners of the New Police force have taken the house No. 4, Hadlow-street Burton-crescent, which they have appointed one of the New Police stations for the parish of St. Pancras for the New Police constables who are married, their wives, and families.

The whole of yesterday and last night we experienced very rough weather an this coast, a full gale of north wind ptevailing, accompanied with very high night tide, which carried away part of " Neptune's Hall." erected on the bathing sands, and caused a portion of the cliff, with the railing attached, op to the west end of Nelson Crescent, to fall into the sea. There were this morning sae hundred sail of French fishing boats in the port, nearly the whole of which this afternoon got under weigh, and sailed for the herring fishery. BERKHAMPSTEAD, Oct. 16. Our first Ball took place on Thursday night. The Stewards on the occasion were J. Burry, Esq. ant A. MEVICIIIZE, Esq. This fashionable assembly was, as usual, atteuded by parties of the highest distinction, and the exertions of the Stewards added greatly to the conviviality of the evening. The Ball was opened by A. Mgeraniar, Esq. and the Marchioness of Saussoar. This delightful entertainment was patronised by l . The Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury, the Countess of Bridgewater, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Members of the County, Lord and Lady V. Beauclerk. the Countess of Verulam, Lord and Lady Owe, Mrs. Champagne, Lady Cooper, and 150 of the first families of distinction.

After supper dancing was resumed, and tept up with great spirit until a late hour. The trilliums Tell Quadrilles were the favourites of the evening. ►t was gratifying to see such an assem blage of rank, beauty, and fashion, present at our intli. BRIGHTON, Oct. 16.

Lord Brandon is plaintiff, and Viscount Ale'bovine defendant, have excited an ex traordinary sensation in the fashionable circle, from the elevated rank and noble connections of the parties who ate about to appear in the above painful character, in a Court of Law. The lady, whose nitne is so closely connected with the pi cant inquiry, is considerably her Noble husband's junior, and report represents her Ladyship to be possessed of great personal beauty and accomplishments. She belongs to the Irish family of Latouehe, and her mother, Lady Cecilia Latouche, is aunt to the resent Earl of Miltown. Lady Cecilia was united, in 1789, to Colonel David Latouche, and Lady Brandon is the eldest surviving daughter of that marriage. Her ladyship married her. Noble and Reverend husband in 1115, who, at that period, had not succeeded to the Irish Barony of Brandon, which dignity he inherited on the death of his cousin, the last Earl of Glandore, who died in October, 1815, having survived his Countess only a few months. The Noble and Rev. Baron early in life entered into Holy Orders, and at the present period his Lordship is Rector of the lucrative benefice of Castle Island, county of Retry, to which he was inducted when be was the Rey. Wm. Crosbie. The Noble and Rev. Baron is, we be lieve, chiefly a resident of Castle Island, and only occasionally visits the metropolis. Although his Lordship has not completed his fifty-eighth year, be is exceedingly infirm, and subject to frequent attacks of the gout, which nearly render him inca pable of walking without assistance. Viscount Melbourne, the Noble defendant upon whom the onus lies of answering the charge of the present action, at the period of the alleged intercourse, filled the arduous situation of Chief Secretary to the Irish Government, to which dace be was appointed on the re signation of the present Chancellor of the Exchequer. His Lord ship is only eight years the Noble plaintiff's junior, and has one surviving child, the Hon. George Augustus Frederick Lamb, born 1807, by his late highly accomplished and celebrated wife, Lady Caroline Lamb, who died in 1828, in the forty-third year of • her age. The Viscount's only sister married the present Earl Cowper. Sir Frederick Lamb, our late Ambassador to Por tugal, and the Viscount's neat brother, is unmarried. The Haft George Lamb, Member for Dungarvon, married MadUe. Caroline Rosalie Adelaide St. Jules, a young foreign lady, is 1809. The trial is flied, at present, for the 2d of November; lir. Gurney conducts the Noble plaintiff's case; and Lord Melbourne is pro vided* with the professional assistance of the Attorney-General, The surviving issue of Lord and Lady Brandon's marriage is one daughter, a young lady about eleven years of age.—MerwingPeper. The Duke of WELLINGTON came to town on Satur day, from Widmer Castle, Kent. His Grace left town yesterday morning at an early hour, on a visit to the Marquis of HERTFORD, at his seat, Sudbourn Hall. Despatches were received yesterday, at the Foreign Office, from the English Charge d'Affaires at the Hague. The King of SPAIN has given orders (in Paris alone) for wedding presents to the Princess CHRISTINE, which amount to more than two millions of francs. The most remarkable of these objects is a praying-desk (prie-dieu), which is ornamented with several exquisite paintings on porcelain of the Transfiguration, and other sacred sub jects ; and the interior of it contains a self-playing musi cal instrument (on the principle of musical boxes), which executes a great variety of—not sacred, but profane— pieces, chiefly from ROSSINI'S William Tell and Othel lo. This object alone is to cost 60,000 francs. The article of the law of nations which makes fo reigners owe a temporary allegiance to the State in which they reside, is blotted out as regards Russian subjects in Turkey. Russian ships may violate the revenue laws, and cannot be searched in the Russian waters. The order of things which the victorious General has established is not to be disturbed so long as Russia holds any part of the Turkish territory, and yet we talk of the moderation of Nicholas ! We might as well talk of the wisdom and energy of the Wellington Administration, which looked on quietly while those evils were preparing for " our an cient ally," and saw them ripen into this conclusion. Morning Herald. General Sir R. NV. O'Callaghan, Commander of the Forces in Scotland, with the gentlemen from the War Office, have inspected the books and records of the 83d regiment, stationed in Glasgow barracks, and the length of servitude of a number of the men, who have been long in the army, has been ascertained, previous to their dis charge at the half yearly inspection, in order that they may be replaced by young men. This fine regiment has received between 70 and 80 recruits since its arrival in Glasgow, and is about 600 strong. The ancient Glasgow volunteers, as this regiment is sometimes called, will haves grand field day on the 24th inst. when they will be reviewed by Sir R. O'Callaghan. The gallant Co lonel (Coition) is about to retire from she service, and will be succeeded in the command by the Hon. Mr. Dundee (son of Lord Melville), at present a Major in the regiment. EXECUTION THIS MORNING. • This morning the dreadful ser.y.llet , of dmt!, nay curied , ioso effect, at the front of Newgate, upon Richard Gifford, aged 26, for forgery, Richard Chick, to. for a burglar,, in Sun street, ilishopsgate, and Josiah Nathan, allac Josiah Latham. alias Jones, for a burglary at Mile-end. The unhappy men were all convicted at the last OW Bailey Sessions; and since that time, although the nature of their crimes precluded all hopes of respite, every effort b.s been made to procure for them a commutation of their sentence of death. Gifford was respectably connected, and his father now bolds a highly influendal situation. Latham was a noted housebreaker, and his companion in the same burgl.ry, named King, was ezecuted for the offence in the month of August. Chick was also a well-known (Met, and since his confiNement in Newgate, planned a desperate plan of escape, which was detected and he was put in irons. This morning the Sheriffs, Messrs. Ward and Richardson, with the Under Sheriffs, arrived at Newgate, and proceeded to the press-room. Chick was immediately brought from the cells; be was in double irons; hot walked as quickly as the chtins would allow him, with a firm step, and a earelsesindifferent air. He being disencumbered of his chains, took hold of Mr. Wontiter's hand, and said, ss I am much obliged to you, Sir, for your ksudnrss to me ; its more than I deserved." He was then pinioned, cpnke iw more, and never lost the reckless beating which marked his conduct through out the appalling preparations for his death. Latham was the second conducted into the room; he neither spoke or uttered a murmur. and seemed really to regard the preparations with the apathetic in difference of one who had framed his mind for the worst conse quences, ',carless of the world's law." Gifford, was the third introduced ; he wa totally unnerved, and glanced about hint with a hurried and fearful look ; when the officer. pinioned his arms and hands be uttered a groan of agonized sorrow, that affee - ed even the most indifferent spectator of his then most lamentable condition. In a few minutes after they were lei to the sc.dfold, they ascended the plarcirm In the same order described; the two tir,t maintained their fortitude to the last. Such courage was worthy a better fate, and it nisy he truly said, " Nothing in lite t•ecante them hut the leaving on't:" Cif. ford was dreadfully sfnicted anti dismayed.

An Aus tralian Steam Navigation Company was about to be t+eta• blis;:ed. Papers from the Cape of Good Hope of the Bth Aug. state, that the Burhmon were again disturbing the peace of the frontier inhabitants, and had committed several robberies. The Field Commandant, Itedlitgliniion, hud pursued the fugitives with a considerable detachment, but the result was not known. Gerard Callaghan, Esq. M. P. presided at a Meeting of the Proprietors of the Royal Cork Institution on Wed nesdly last, when Dr. Bulleg strongly recommended the establishment of a general College for Munster, in Cork, with which the present Institution might be incorporated. After some desultory discussion, a Committee was finally appointed to confer with Dr. Bullen, and report to another meeting. From New Orleans it is stated that accounts had been received there from Havarinah of the 23d Aug. stating, that the squadron and transports were actively engaged in shipping six or seven thousand troops, and ammunition of war, to assist the troops landed at Tampico. There were twenty-five thousand regular troops at the Havanna, and upwards that number of organized militia. Nearly every vessel which had arrived from the ports of Spain, brought from two to five hundred troops.

Between four and live o'clock, as the boat was near Battersea-bridge, chow on board tried to turn her head against the tide down the river, when, as was to be expected from their previous conduct, the boat upset, and the whole party was turned into the stream. Three of them had the good fortune to get hold of the vessel's keel, by which they held fast until relieved from their perilous situation by a Waterman who happened to be passing near the spot at the time ; but the other two young men were not so fortunate, for before any assistance could he rendered to them they sunk to rise no more.— Boats were immediately out to look for the bodies, but they were not discovered at six o'clock We understood that the unfortunate sufferer. were the suns of respectable tradesmen residing at Pad dington, but we could not ascertain their names. Prom its being flood tide at the time, the boat was carried against one of the aout meots of the bridge, and completely destroyed.
