Star. — London, England, 1829-07-01 00:00:00

TO THE EVENING STAR. Hail, beaming Star ! that o'er th' embattled cloud Of lurid Faction shed'st thy temp'rate ray— Though Discord seek to dim, or Party shroud Thy placid light, or stop thy constant way— Emblem of Truth, of Honour, and of Fame, By thee shall Freedom guide her shatter'd bark ; Though tempest-tost, shall find thy track the same, And o'er the watery waste tby course shall mark. What though discordant elements combine Their hostile force to check thy bright career; What though once clouded, thou again shalt shine As Honour stainless, and as Virtue clear. Thus blusering tempests round the ►ranches roar Of some firm oak upon the mountain's brow ; They rend it not, but fix its roots the more, So may'st thou safe amid the whirlwinds ride. " Star of descending night," whose beamy crest Old Osman worshipp'd in prophetic lay, Say, wilt thou still fulfil his high behest, Still shine though states and heroes fade away ? Like thosefaise Stars, by Fortune giv'n to Pride, From thy pure breast shall borrow'd radiance blaze ? No ! he undewer'd Truth alone thy guide— The British Patriot's free-born heart thy prize ! A. J. THE EARL OF ELDON. The Inhabitants of Northwich have presented Lord Ez.non with a large Cheshire Cheese, accompanied with an Address, expressive of their esteem for his public conduct, talents, integrity, and undeviating support of the best principle of the British Consti tntion."—Morning Paper. We hope the arch dogs of Notthwich meant nothing invidious in the selection of so elegant a testimonial, and think the stomachic crudities cruelly g log with his Lord. ship of lath require no stronger digester than simple cheese. Some pretend that his Lordship was seriously indisposed from a surfeit of so much talent and integrity, and that the donation was kindly intended as a panacea for the evil; but of this we suspect the truth, having since bad the pleasure of meeting in Piccadilly the Venerable and Noble Jurisconsvit, " stepping with the firm step be is wont to do," and looting all unconscious of any inconvenience of the kind.

STATE ow TRADE.—Although perhaps the num ber of country buyers who have been in town this • week has been less than it was in the last, the market has been, for the time of year, very well attended, and a considerable business done. The effect of the small sales made in the spring is now showing itself, in the return of the buyers to market at an earlier period than usual, and in a considerable Atm of orders. In the grey market the demand keeps up, and for twist prices are decidedly hardening.— There is a very considerably increased demand for mule yarns of low numbers, and some of the most respectable spinners will no longer sell either those or water twist at the prices previously current. The Marquis of LANSDOWN had a grand dinner party on Monday, at Lansdown House, Berkeley-square, among whom were—the Countess of Pembroke and Lady E. Herbert, Lord and Lady Barrington, Lord Cawdor, Lord Henry Thynne, Mr. and Mrs. Cunliffe, r. Monier, and Mr. Rogers. Franche-Comte has for some years been agitated by the question as to who shall inherit a fortune amounting to no less than 75 millions of franca. Another question, however, has pre. viously to be resolved—viz. does this contested inheritance actually este ? Our readers may be enabled to judge, whea we remind them that Claude Francois Bonnet, the well known Sovereign of Madagascar, is supposed to have been born at Fontenis, near Bios, which be left 100 years since for India. Having died without direct heirs, his wealth is raid to be now deposited with the English East India Company, on which supposition every body in the vicinity of his Majesty's birthplace would fain prove himself related to; the fortunate Bonnet. In order to arrive at some certainty in this important matter, the numerous claimants have each con tributed towards defraying the expenses of delegates sent to London and Paris, for the purpose of procuring information.—Galignasu"s Messenger.—Three or four years ago, Tabular, ex-flecretat7 at War, then acting as commercial agent in Paris, ' having interested , himself in this affair,a descent of the whole clan of his deceased Majesty was made n that capital ; when, after some desperate dis cussions touching their respective claims to the supposed treasure somewhere, or nowhere—the august family dispersed, after some effusion of royal blood, to dream of future grandeur under the humble thatches of their native villages. We hope the delegates have brought with them a divining rod, that may enable them to ferret out the hidden lucre suspected to lie snug under the guar dianship of some honest dragon, capable of keeping a secret. The principal claimant, we understand, is a portly Dame, once a visas diem of the old Imperial army, and now a dealer in old clothes in the Rue St. Anne at Paris. The Metropolitan Road Tutu have presented their third report, signed by Lord Lowrlizn. It looks well upon paper. the Commissioners have abolished night tolls, suppressed another gate within the metropolis, during last year, paid off some debt, and have a balance in hand. A tortoise belonging to Mr. Matthew Davidson, of Burden, near Bishopwearmouth, which was kept in his garden, disappeared about twelve months ago. During the interval which has elapsed, diligent search has been made for it without success. A few days ago it made its reappearance on the gravel walk, in a very lively state. The Countess of Alwyn having presented ALLAN RamsAv with an orange, he almost instantly handed her the (01- dowing lines— " Now, itlant's son, thou may'at be mute, For I can proudly vie with thee ; Thou to the fairest gave the fruit, The fairest gate the fruit to i.e." Needles were first made in England by a native of India in 1545, but the art was lost at his death ; it was, however; recovered by Christopher' Greening in 1560, who was settled with his three children, Elizabeth, John, and Thomas, by Mr. Darner, ancestor of the pre. sent Earl of Dorchester, at Long Crendon, Bucking hamshire, where the manufactory has been carried on from that time to this day. • WATERLOO BRIDGE. A report having appeared in several Papers, at the beginning of last week, that a discovery of the rotten ness of the piles forming the foundation of the 'south abutment pier of this bridge had been made by 44 two Gentlemen," who had communicated the intel ligence to Lord Melville, considerable alarm was created amongst the proprietors ; and, in conse quence, the Bridge Committee (among whom were, Sir Joseph Yorke, the Chair:fun, Sir Edward Bankes, and Sir George Cockburn) with Mr. Barrow (Under Secretary to the Admiralty), the two Mr. Rennies, and many other scientific Gentlemen, on Friday last pro ceeded to inspect that part of the works alluded to; and a great number of workmen having been employed in removing the soil from the bed of the river, so as to lay bare the piles of the pier in question, pieces weir liberally cut from the whole of the piles exposed, and handed to the persons present, not only to the Com mittee, but to a number of strangers who had been attracted by the proceeding. Specimens of the se veral piles of elm, pine, and beach fell to our share; and they certainly did not exhibit the slightest appear ances of decay. The examination appeared to be petfectly satisfactory to every one present, and much wonder. ment was expressed, by those not in the secret, re specting the motives which could have induced "two gentlemen" to take so mach trouble to cir culate so unfutroded a report as the one alluded to evidently was. The Secretary to the Committee informed us that,on application being made by the Com mittee to Lord Melville, for the names of the " two gentlemen" who had given him the information, they were immediately supplied by his L•irdship ; and that, having learned the source of the report, the Committee felt no longer any difficulty in ascribing a motive. We were informed that Mr. Browning, the proprieter of the timber-wharf adjoining the Bridge, states that the piece of wood which was • preseated to Lord Melville was picked up by the " two Gentlemen" against his wharf, and at a spot which is 40 feet distant from the piles of the abutment-pier.— In fine, there seems to have been no 'lee' foundation for the report. SALE OF QATLANDS PARK ESTATE. Yesterday the extensive Freehold, Oatlands Park Estate, Mansion, and Domain, Surrey, for upwards of forty years the favoured retreat, residence, and property of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York, ,was dis posed of at the Auction Mart. The large room was crowded to excess with the Noblemen, Gentlemen, Landholders, and Agriculturists, connected with Surrey and the adjoining counties. This fine property, which has f een so long and de. [ imvedly admired for the beauty of its situation and ,grounds, was put up in twenty-nine lots. The first lot I comprised the spacious Mansion, Oatlands Park, the pleasare-grounds, kitchen gardens, terraces, court• yard, domestic offices, coach-houses, stabling, and land, in all seven hundred and seventy-six acres. The whole situate on the banks of the Thames, in the parishes of Weybridge and Walton. The late Duke a York expended a large sum in improving and embellishing this portion of the property ; the ow. buildings alone cost nearly 100,0001. The splendid tennis-court and the beautiful grotto were erected by his Royal Highness, at an expense of 20,0001. The mansion, which its late illustrious occupier rendered a most princely residence, is seated on an eminence, and .commands fine views of the surrounding country. The lot, after a lengthened competition, was knocked down at 50,0001. The remainder of the Estate and Domain, comprising the picturesque district, known as St. George's • Hill, containing 1,100 acres, sundry villa residences, cot tages, land, and tenements, in the village of %Vey br idge ; the extensive and valuable manors of Byfleet and Weybridge, Walton Leigh, and Walton-upon Thames, with the fines arbitrary, heriots, reliefs, quit rents, royalties, tights and privileges thereof, together with several capital farms, witb all requisite farm-houses, farming buildings, cottages, tenements, buildings, &c. comprehending the By fleet Park, Byfleet Bridge, Brook. lands, Childs, Weybridge Bridge, Lower Common, Field Common, and Silver Mere Inclosure, situate in the several parishes of Walton upon Thames, Wey bridge, Byfleet, Chertsey, and NI Wry. The estate, in cluding the park and pleasure grounds, contains three thousand two hundred and forty seven acres, the greater part of which is tithe-free; the timber, trees, underwood, and growing crops, it was stipulated, should be taken at a valuation. The auctioneer, after detailing the chief features of this important property,made an estimate of the rental and value, which he said exceeded 5,0004 per annum. The outgoings, amount on the whole, to 2541. Bs. 3d. a year, leaving a net aenu rl rental, in cluding the Mansion and Park, and the value of the land iu hand, of 4,7451. Ils. 9d. The twenty-eight lots produced the sum of 88,4501. making a total, with the first lot, of 138,4501. The Right Hon. Lord King was the principal purchaser, and bid very spiritedly through out the sale. Spai kes, Esq. a wealthy landowner of Surrey, bought several lots. The Earl and Countess of ABERDERN left town yester day afternoon for Windsor, on a visit to his Meaner. The Earl and Countess are expected to remain at Windsor for three or four &yr, A melancholy occurrence took place on Tbeirodey evening last, at the meeting on behalf of the Loudon Missionary Society in Broughton Place, Etinburgh. A ,woman, who appeared to have fainted, was carried out of the meeting ; but upon being brought to the air she exhibited nu symptom of returning animation. She was taken into a house in the neighbourhood, where some medical gentlemen attempted to bleed her, but in •ain ; life was quite extinct. Among the Records in the Tower of London is one to the following effect—King John gave several lands at Kipper ton and Allerton, in Kent, to Solomon Attie field, to be held by this service—l , That as often as the King should please to cross the sea, the said Solomon, or his heirs, should be obliged to go with him, to hold his Majesty's head if there should be occasion for it " that is, should his Majesty be sea sick; and it appears by the record that this same office of head holding was accordingly performed afterwards in the reign of Edward I. It is reported that Mr. Stone, the master shipwright of Deptford dock yard, will go to Chatham. and that Mr. Keddell, the present Clerk of the Cheque, will be , made timber and store receiver ; the establishment will then be reduced to a storekeeper, a timber and store receiver, and one master shipwright's assistant. These alterations are expected to take place forthwith, and in order to faciliatte them,the frames of two gun brigs, cut out at Deptford, and lying there in readiness to be set up, are to be taken to Woolwich yard. There ate also three Vessels building in Deptford yard—the Worcester, a frigate of the largest class; the /Etna bomb ; and a sloop. The two latter are to be launched with all pos. sible dispatch, when all hands will be put upon the ' Worcester. They will be all taken to Woolwich to be fitted.—Kent and Essex Mercury. CAUTION TO PUBLISHERS. 4 Mr.. Beuler, the Comic Song writer, has been fined, by the Commissioners of Stamps, five pounds, being a mitigated penalty, for neglecting to pay the duty on a pamphlet within the proper period. The follow ing is an extract of the Act, 10 Anne, c. 19, which directs " That one printed copy of every such pamphlet which shall be printed or published in London or West minster, or within the weekly bills of mortality, shall he brought to the Head Office of Stamps, within six days after the printing thereof, to be tl.ere registered. and the duty (three shillings pet sheet) paid thereon; and that one copy of every such pamphlet, .printed or published in any other part of Great Britain, shall within 14 days after the printing thereof, be brought to some H.fad Collector (of Stamp lluties,who is to enter the same and receive the duty ; and in default thereof the printer and publisher of such pamphlet, and person conc.' ned in the printing or publishing the: et f, shall forfeit the sum of 201. with full ci.sts of suit." WILL OF LORD HARRIS. FROM A CORRESPONDENT. Wednesday the will of this distinguished but eccentric Nobleman was proved in Doctors' Commons. ProbVe was granted to his eldest sun, Major-General (now Lord) Harris ; and the effects were rworn under 90,0004 It is well known that the deceased was in the frequent habit of boasting that he had been the architect of his own fortune, and by thus enacting the " laudator temporis acti," had displeased some members of his family. One of the clauses in his final settlement plainly alludes to this circumstance. It runs thu ,—" To my estimable and ' much loved daughter, Ann Lushington (the wife of the celebrated civilian), and to her worthy husband, and my highly esteemed friend, I leave 2013/. each, for a ring, or any memento they may choose, of our mutual regard ; and to each of their children who may be living at the time of my decease, I leave mourning rings, in the hope they may at odd times bring their grandfather to me mory,and recollect that, under PROVIDENCE, he imputes his rise from nothing to his affluent fortune, to his eco nomy and willing privation from self indulgence through a long life:' In another part of his will the deceased thus disposes of the costly jewels which fell to his lot in the distribu tion of the Seringapatam prizes. " The jewels received by me, as part of the Seringapatam prize, I wish to entail as a memorial in the family, of what PROVIDENCE has done for it; and, to that intent, I bequeath the same to my said trustees. Upon the same trusts, the gold medal sent to Tippoo Sultan by Luis XVI. of France, beating very strong likenesses of him and his Queen Antoinette; and which being found among Tippoo's treasures by the Prize Agents (chosen by the army, not only to take charge and to dispose of the booty taken, but to decide on the share each individual was entitled to), was by them, in the name of that army, sent to me, requesting my acceptai:ce Of it." The Earl of WESTMORLAND has issue.' cards fur a grand diplomatic dinner party for the ath inst. The warrant for the election of a Representative Peer, in the room of the Earl of BLESINTON, was issued on Saturday. • - - - There was never known so many vessels belonging the pert of Sunderland to have cleared for Archangel as them has this year. They exceed 100 sail. Wednesday se'naight, while Mr. Farquharson, at Bankend, and his daughter, a young woman about 16 years of age, were standing at a short distance from a bee.hive,tbey were suddenly surrounded by thousands of the little insects, the hive having just thrown off a swarm. Instead, however, of flying to a bush for shelter, as expected, they alighted on the young woman's head. Fortunately, she had courage and presence of mind equal to the occasion, for, instead of running away, or attempting to remove or annoy them, as most would have done in the same situation, she remained quietly where she was till the whole swarm alighted upon her. Some idea may be formed of the firmness and resole tion evinced under such trying circumstances, when it is stated that she had neither cap nor bonnet on, and that the swarm was so large that it completely covered her face, breast, and shoulders, so that she could neither see nor speak. In this situation she remained until her father brought a hive, when the bees moved into it in the usual way, without her receiving so much in jury as a single sting. It is well known that bees, when swarming, are so inoffensive that only violence will tn• duce them to use their stings; when provoked, however, they become desperate: and, in the present instance, had the young woman attempted to extricate herself, or used the least violence,the consequences must have been dreadful—very likely fatal. She knew this, and acted accordingly; affording an admirable lesson to all who may be placed in the same predicament.—Stirling Advertiser. The diffusion pf knowledge and literature, by in. creasing the number of pretenders, has lessened the distance between authors and readers; has made learn ing common and familiar; and given to reputation a temporary and ephemeral character. In the succession of new works, we cannot find time to read the old—in the crowd of living competitors, we lose sight of the, dead. The pretensions of rank and literature being each set aside and neutralised by the impertinent sciutiny of vulgar opinion, they dub their stock between them, and strive to make a feeble stand that way. Hence the aristocracy of letters! An author no longer, in the silence of tetreat,and in the dearth of criticism, appeals to posterity as a last resource, as in a flat and bar ren country, we look on objects in the distant horizon; in the din and pressure of present opinions and con tending claims, he must throw himself, like an actor at a fair, on the gaping throng about him, and seize, by the most speedy and obvious means, the noisy suffrages of his contemporaries. The poet, as cl olc', is not now, from rarity, regarded as it mystery, a wizard, a some thing whose privacy is not to be profaned by being encroached upon ; every effort is made to throw down this partition wall, to rend asunder the veil i f genius ; and instead of being kept at a studious and awful dis tance, he must be brought near, must be shown as a lion, must be had out to dinner, or to an AT HOME ; we must procure his autograph, get him to write his name in an album, and, if possible, come into tersonal contact with him. so as to mix him up with oar daily impres sions and admiring egotism. Thus the imaginary no tion, the divine partied° aura is lost under a heap of ' common qualities or peculiar defects; and only the shadow of a name is left. Nothing is fine but the ideal; or rather, excellence only exists by abstraction. If we wish to be delighted or to admire, we have no' business to seek beyond what first excited our delight or admiration. Those who go in search of a cluster of perfections, or expect that because a man it superior in one thing, lie is to be superior ip all,.oply go in search of disappointment; or, in truth, qpe to indemnify their. self love by the discovery that, except in some one par ticular, their idol is very am& like themselves.— Monthly Magazine, New Series.' THE THAMES TUNNEL. Yesterday a Special General Meeting of the Share. holders in this undertaking was held at the City of London Tavern; Wm. 5511711. E q. M.P. in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN stated the object of the Meeting. which was, to cons;der whether the Directors should be empowered to accept a contract fcr the completion of the works. or t•+ await till next year, when it would be ascertained whl Orr kinveroment would or would not make the advances derireu. Mr. BUTLER then read thr Report. It was as follows : REPORT OF THE COURT OF DIRECTORS TO THE SPECIAL ASSEMBLY OF PROPRIETORS, HELD AT THE CITY OF LONDON TAVERN. JUNE 30. On the sate ot the Tunnel itself, the Directors have nothing tin to report ; but they bee, to say, that they have been continually anxious to bring the expenditure down to the lowest poss.ble rate consistent with the due preservation I f the works, and with another important object—that at keering alive the public teeling, and de riving 6 . 411 e income from visitors, while the pi ogress has been suspended; and th• v have the p;easiite to state, that the amount of revenue fl wing in from this soui ce affords a decisive proot that the ii.tecest at first excited by this new and bold undertaking yet remains in ).reat and beneficial activity. The applicatiOn to his Majesty's Ministers, formerly alluded has been continued through the intervention of a Noble Lord, whose kind. ness, attention, and zeal for the interests of the under taking, entitle him to the warmest thanks of the Com pany ; at one time it afforded flattering prospects of suc cess, bu: has proved abortive for the present, although they consider the door as still left open for a renewal 91 their efforts in the next Session of Parliament. In consequence tif what passed at t e last M. cting of the Proprietors, they have deemed it proper to sub mit a subsidiary relation of the substance of the com munications of the Directois with Mr. Vignole, the civil engineer, tcspectiog proposals for finishing the funnel by contract, under security, upon a plan different from that of Mr.J. Brunel. The relation is as follows: "EXTRACTS FROM MINUTES. " It will, the.efote, now be tor the consideration of the Pt oprieiors whether, if the proposal of the said par ties, or any other competent persons, to complete the Tunnel by any other in , de which may, on mature con sideration, be deemed feasible, they will give the Di rectors power to enter into engagements is ith such parties ; to adopt their plans, and to depart from that of Mr. Brunel, which, however ingenious it may appear, ha, been found to be attended with an expense appa tently incompatible with the reasonable expectations 4 f the Shareholders, to derive even a m-derate remunera tion for their advances.' 64 Resolved, therefore—That it is expedient to em power the Directors, rind they are hereby empowered, to adopt any other mode of carrying on the work, pre serving the same dimensions and internal appearance, which shall appear to them likely to ensure its comple tion, and to treat with, and engage with, any party or parties who may be willing to contract fur the same, on such terms as shall appear to the Dirmors to war rant the expectation of obtaining a sum sufficient for the accomplishment, either of the tunnel alone, or with the necessary approaches thereto, and who shall pro duce security for the performance of such contract or contracts. "Resolved—That the practicability of making the tunnel being established by the fact of 600 feet out of 1,800 feet, having been safely and securely effected, and this Meeting entertaining a hope that Government, sanctioned by Parliament, will be induced to consider it a national work of great public utility, and lend 4 sofficient sum to complete the undertaking, that the Dor ectors do continue their exertions to obtain a loan horn Government.

The descents . Purchase of premises at Wapping . • 7,Q( , . B 000 . . 7,040 . 69,000 . 40,000 X 245,000 The CHAIRMAN, anxious that all information should be given, said, that if a measure of economy was not adopted, the Shareholders, with an advance of 300,0001. from Government, would reap no benefit. He then moved a Resolution to the effect, that the Directors be empowered to adopt any other plan for carrying on the Tunnel by contract, with security for the preset vation of the works. . Mr. ADAMS moved an Amendment to the effect, that as the practicability of completing the Tunnel was as certained by 600 feet having been formed, the Meeting Flo adjourn till the measures of Government are known. After some discussion, the CHAIRMAN put the ques tion, and the. Amendment was lost, there being for it only 23, and for the original motion 35. The power of contrsceing is thus given to the Direc tors for the completion of the work, under proper security. HOVIZKEZPIR'S ORACLE.—This is an interesting work on domestic management,and goes far to solve the interestint ,problem—" how we may enjoy the greatest possible comfort at the least possible expense." It contains a vast fund of useful informs don on tlk best means of uniting prudent expenditure with exten sive enjoyment, and supporting a family in elegance devoid of ex travagance, and with economy free from parsimony. Like all Dr. Kitchiner's works, it is written in a style of dry humour that makes his precepts as entertaining as they are valuable. THE INDWATOR.--This singular bird is thus noticed in the Animal Kingdom of Coviss--" The Indicators are so called from serving as guides to the natives of Africa in the discovery of honey. This bird probably experiences some difactiky in procuring an aliment of which it appears particularly fond; but instinct ap pears to have directed it to call man to its assistance, by indicating the nest of bets with a very sharp cry ; which, according to some travellers, is the word which signifies " honey" in the language at the Hottentots. It utters this cry morning and evening. and seems to call the persons who are hunting for honey in the deserts. They reply in a graver tone as they approach. The moment ate bird beholds them, it proceeds to hover over the tree which contains a bee-hive; and If they delay to come, it reduubks its cries, fliei wards them, and, by various turns backwards and forwards, in dicates the spot in a very marked manner. While they are seimn it the contents of the hive, the Indicator remains near at hand, and awaits his portion, which is always certain to be left for hat." - CORN—EXCHANGE, MARK—LANE, Juts' 1. -- Our market was In a state of stagnation this morning—scarcely a sale has been effected; and the factors, although making - sacrifice, with difficulty obtained purchasers; the prices of Grain, therefore, are nominally as on Monday. istrisamirions MICR MONDAY.
