THE ENGLISH CLERGY IN FRANCE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sin—ln the r&erence to the sermon published on occasion of t' e consecration- of Bishop Luscombe, by Mr. Honk, quoted in 2 Ime number of your Paper, ex plana.co y.ot the mi•sion this iespecteJ Prelate has un- dertaken on the Continent, a material misconception, • into which the author appeats to have fallen himself, and which may, in consequence, be likely to mislead others, should have at the same t . me been noticed. The Rev. Author, in speaking of the Clergy exercising the pastor 41 charge of the British continental congregations, seems, by vario is intimations that he hada aLegel in different parts of his discourse, to conceive that, as now circumstanced, they are acting under, or rather, s. taking wpm thentselves" an unauthorised commission, and in consequence require episc .pal license to give sanction to their ministry I Tins writer must hence be evidently unaware of the fact, that few, if any, of the individuals to whom his reflections apply, are in the position lie supposes; as they have universally been licensed by, and most, if not all of them continue to hold licenses from their respective diocesans at home, and therefore, any further authorization, so far from being called for at all, could not even add a validity to their minstry with which their existing commissions do not invest them. In fact, seem ding to this view of the subject, it might he with as much consistency asserted, that re-or • dinatiou itself was necessary for a clergy, whose com missions, as the smartie; s of the established national Church of Eagl ind, never are (as actually is the case •with those ordained by the Scots Bishops, as this author himself admits—with those ordained too, either by the American, or any of our Colonial Bishops) by law, re stricted and limited in the exercise of their functions. It is particularly requisite that this explanation should distinctly go forth, lest the very erroneous view which the author has taken in this part of his argument, to say nothing of its tendency to lower the estimate the Clergy at present hold with their congregations, - should lead to an impression that by their residence in a coun try not within the jurisdiction of the Church by which they are commissioned, the validity of their ministration has become de facto in a state of suspension, if the very exercise of it at all, under such a view, be not unwar ranted—or whether, as Mr. H. maintains, the very 4. propriety of the conduct of that clergyman, who takes upon himself to officiate among them (i e. the Bri tish residents abroad) for a permanency may not be questioned ?" Admitting, however, the correctness of the author's reasoning on this point, the argument would then no less involve t'se validity of the Bishop's own ecclesiasti cal tuna' ois thus coming abroad, as being exercised out of the territory to which the spiritual jurisdiction of the Church is confined, from which he has derived his commission, and an allegiance to which, of the Clergy of the English esaJblishment, can by no possibility be claimed. On these data, it must, therefore, surely follow that, if the one be unauthorized, or has no justi fiable sanction to exercise the Ministry of his lower ord, r out of the country to which his Church belongs, no less must the other and higher rank be alike divested or p3wer to exercise that ministration which pertains.to his Church (and that even by law) out in its indi. gent us stare. VIGIL. P.S. The Reader is requested, if he has the opportunity, of re ferring, un this topic, to Dr- Grant's " Apology for continuing in the Communion of the Church of England," to examine this author's teaser./ for refusing submission to this Church. • January 16th, 1626. Advice. have been received by the way of Odessa, from Constantinople, dated on the 19th ult. which state, that the combined Egyptian and Turkish fleets had suffered a loss of live men of war, in action with the Grecian Navy. Few particulars are given in this letter; and as the victory is stated to have been gained in the neighbourhood of Hydra, its confirmation is by no means certain. The auxiliary naval forces are by this time, however, beginning to collect themselves in the Archi pelago; and as soon as the season permits, some deci sive operations may secure to the Greeks, in future, the command of those seas. Dut log the late severe weather, a vessel belonging to Lyme rode for eight days in a gale off Portland. Their provisions were reduced to a turnip and a piece of bis c,.ir each man. The lead mines of Misststni cover an area of more than 3,000 square miles, and are said to be the most extensive on globe. The ore is of the richest and purest kind, and exists in quantities sufficient to supply the whole United States. The number of mines is 165, in which mot e than 1,100 men are employed, producing annually 3,000,000 pounds of the metal, valued at 120,000 dollars. • AMERICAN CANALS. - Abut 3,000 labourers are ern• ployed un the Ohio canals. One of these canals is to be from the junction of the Scioto with the Ohio to the rnsnth of the Giy.thnga river, at Cleareland on Lake Erie, in length 3(16 miles. The other from Coicinnati to' Day ton, on the Miami river, GO tn . les in lenoli. BREAD AND AGR:CDI.TURAL W• GEs.—Tbe price of agricultural lab. ut in 1732, sealed by Magistt ates W.l) 6s. in wi ,ter, and 7-. in summer. The price of Wheat was 19, to 24.5. per quarter, or 2s. 9J. per bushel.— Malt, 15s. to 22.. per quarter, or 2.. sd. per bushel.— The price of agricultural labour in 1825. was Bs. to M. per week. Meat, about Bs. or 9s. per bushel. Malt about 10s. per bushel.—Thercfme it is clear the labourer can now only procure one halt the quantity of bread and one-fourth the quantity of beer he could in 1732, and perhaps the land four times the price. Towards the end of Easter Terme, 1655, the Lord CHANDOIS for killing in duel] Mi. COMPTON, the yeare before, and the Lord ARUNDZI. of Warder, one of his seconds, were brought to theyr tryall for theyr lives at the Upper Bench in Westminster Hall, when it was found manslaughter only, as by a Jury at Kingston upon-Thames, it had beerf found f. latterly. The Lords igl.t have had the privilege of peerage (Justice ltor.t.s !wing Lord Chief Justice) but they declined it by advice 1.1 %Jr. MAYNARD and the rest of theyr counsel], least by that means the matter might have bin brought ab ut again; therefore they went upon the former verdict of manslanghter,and so were acquitted,but yet to be burned incite band, which was don to them both, a day or two after, but very favourably. It is observable, Ist, That these Lords, having bin of the KING'S party, submitted to be tryed by the present Government. 2,11 y, That they waved the privilege of peerage (as the Earle of DOVER not long before had done in Hertfordshire) where be was indited for coping money. And, 3dly, That the sayd two Lot ds were burnt in the hand, they being the fist Peers in England that had been so.—Lord Lei ir der's hsw,sml is Sydney Papers. COFFEE HOUSES. Coffee-houses began to supersede the use of truss and Taverns, as places of public entertainment, about this period. Aubrey, io his "Lives," speaking of Sir Henry Blount, one of the fashionables of Charles the Second's day, tells us, « wheu coffee first came in he was a great upholder of it, and had ever since been a constant fre quenter of Coffee-houses, especially Mr. F.trre's at the Rainbow, by Inner Temple gate, and lately Joho's Coffee-house, in Fuller's Rents ;" and adds, " the first Coffee-house in London was in St. Michael's alley, Cornhill, opposite to the Church, which was sett up by one Bowman (coachman to Mr. Hodges, a Turkey merchant, who put him upon it), in or about the year 1652. 'Twos about four years before any other was sett up, and that was by Mr. Farre. Jonathan Poynter, opposite to Sr. Michael's Church, was the first appren tice to the trade, viz. to Bowman. Mem. The Bognio in Newgate-street, was built and first opened in 1679, by a company of Turkish merchants." Coffee, he informs us in his Memoir of the great Dr. Harvey, had been previously used both by him and his brother. " I remember he was wont to drink coffee, which he and his -brother Eliab did, before Coffee houses were in fashion in London." M4ckay, in his Journey through England, gives the following entertaining account of the Chocolate a. d Coffee-houses of the metropoiis in 1724, and the different sorts of company by which they were then, acc. , rding to their kinds, usually frequented :- 81 1 am lodged in the street called Pall-mall, the ordi nary residence of all strangers, because of its vicinity to the King's Palace, the Park, the Parliament House, the Theatres, aad the Chocolate and the Coffee-houses, where the best company frequent. If you would know our manner of living, it is thuss—we rise by nine, and those that frequent great men's levees find entertain ment at them till eleven, or, as in Holland, go to tea tables. About twelve the beau monde assembles in seve ral Chocolate and Coffee-houses, the best of which are the Cocoa Tree and White's Chocolate-houses, St. James's, the &nyrna, and the British Coffee houses, and all these so near one another, that in less than an hour you see the company in them all. We are carried to these places in cha;rs (or sedans), which are here very chea?. nett:, at White's, you are entertained at picket or bas , et, or you may talk politics at the Smyrna or St. Janicis. I must not forget to tell you that the patties have then' different places, where, however, a stranger is always well received, but a IVhig will no more go to the Cocoa lt) ee or Uzinda's, tban a Tory will be seen at the Coffee house of Si. James's. " The Scots go generally to the British, and a mix ture of all sorts to the Smyrna. There are other little Coffee-houses much frequented, in this neighbourhood. Young•man's for officers, uld-inaa's for stock jobbers, paymasters and courtiers ; and Little min's for sharpers. I never was co confounded in my life as when I entered this last: 1 saw two or three tables full at faro, heard the box and slice rattling in the ro )m above stairs, and was surrounded by a set of sharp-faces, that I was afraid would have devoured me with their eyes. Iss as glad to drop two or three half crowns at faro, to get off with a clear skin, and was overjoyed 1 had so got rid of them. After the play is over of a night, the best company genet ally go to Tom's and Will's Coffee-houses, nearly adjoining the theatres, where there is p!aying at picket, and the best conve:sation till midnight. Here you will see blue and green tibboas and stars, sitting familiarly with p:ivate Gentlemen, and talking with the same freedom, as if they had left their quail y and degrees of Distance at home, and a strangtr tastes with pleasu e the universal liberty of speech of the English nati,n. And in ail the Coffee-houses you have not only the foreign et juts, but sevei al E %fish ones, with the foreign occurrences, besides pipets of morality and patty disputes. 4 The Royal Exchange is the resoit of all the trading part of this city, toseign and domestic, from half an hour after one, until neatly three in the afternoon; but the better sots generally noel in Exctiange alley a little befote, at three celebrated Coffee-houses. called Garra tufty's, Robins's, and Jonathan's. In the first, the ;sen i le of quality, who have business in the city, and the most considerable and wealthy citizens frequ,ut. In die second, the foreign bankers, and often even foreign Ministers. And in the third, the buyers and sellers of stock." al When I entered into this last, I was afraid I had got into Little•man's Coffee house again ; for busy faces ran about here as there, with ihe same sharp intent looks, with the d fference only, that here it is selling of Bank Stock, East India, South Sea, and Lottety TickAs; and there it is all cards and dice. You will see a fellow in shabby clothes selling ten or twelve thousand pounds in Stock, though perhaps he may not be worth at the s ime time, ten shillings, and with as much zeal as if he were a Director, which they call yelling a bear skin ; and these often find bubb:e, e.oui l l) to get Brea by it, as the others do by gaming, and some of them manage it sr? as to get pretty large estates." Or, the occasion of soliciting a subscription for the rd ef of Mrs. Clark,the aged and only surviving daugh ter of Milton, in 1727, a writer recommending liberal contributions, draws the following distinction between White's Chocolate-house in Pall•mall, and Tom's Coff.e.hnuse, in Cornhill : " At White's we see not'ing but what wears the mask at least of gaiety and pleasure; powder and em broidery are the ornaments of the place. Conversation is not known here; the inquiries alter news turn chiefly upon what happened last night at the Groom Porter's. The business of the place is to promote som? musical subscription; to make all possible court to some young man of quality, that is next expected to take possession of a great estate; and to take cote to be very well with a knot of well-dressed people that meet heie, ani modestly call themselves 1 he Woad. At Tom's Coffee house, there is a very different face of things. Plenty, the parent of Cheerfulness, seems to have fixed her resi dence on this spot I while Joy, which is the offspring of Folly, seems to be utterly unknown. Industry, the first principle of a citizen, is an infallit•le specific to keep the spirits awake, and prevent that stagnation and corruption o: humours which make our fine Gentlemen such horrible torments to one another and to them selves. Decency in dress is finery enough in a place where they are taught from their childhood to expect no honours from what they seem to be, but from what they really are. The conversation turns chiefly on the interests of Europe, in which they themselves were principally concerned ; and the business here is to en large the commerce of their country, by which the public is to gain much more than the merchant him self. Of their generous principles, I need only g've an instance; it is, that in this place was first projected the sub,ciipti .n tnr the relief of the sightless old age o' daughter." The character of Tom King's Coffets.house in Covent-garden, and the sort of company who frequented it about 1735, is satiri cally hinted at in some lines iii " A Covent-garden Eclogue" of the time: " The watch bad cry'd past one with hollow strain, And to tilt ir stolid; returned to sleep again; Jephson's and Mitchell's hurry now was done, And now Tbns King's (so rakes ordain'd) begun Bright shene the moon, and calm around the sky, Ne cinder-wench, nor straggling link-boy nigh, When in that garden, where with mimic power Strut the mock-purple heroes of an hour; Where by grave matrons cabbages are sold, Who all the live-long day drink gin ant! scald," atc., Hogarth has introduced a view of this receptacle of vice, and Its intemperate company, in the print of Marniug, in his Four Times of the Day. Its successor, on the same spot, is what has been very appropriately termed " the Finials." The Coffee-houses of London, which have become extremely numerous since this period, are no longer distinguished, as in Emitter times, for the meeting of particular sets of company—if we except Garraway's, and some of the old one, mentioned in the City—and consequently have nothing peculiar in their character worth re marking. Of the ancient taverns in the metropolis, a few noticed by Stowe are yet in existence. Others, though the buildings are partly standing, are occupi:d in different trades, as is the Boar's Head, in Rastcheap. The oldest Inn is the Talbot, or Tabard, in the Borough, noticed by Chaucer as the place from which himself and the nine and twenty pilgrims started on their way to Canter bury, in the reign of Richard 11. and to commemorate which event, there has lately been a new sign put up in the inn yard. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. UNITID KINGDOM Tea Aasscv Costrans.--In the STAB. of Wednestlay,we gave a report of an application that was made to the Loan Mayon, by the Solicitor of the above Company, for a war rant to apprehend certain persons for having, as was alleged, com mitted a robbery in the house of the Company la Crutched Friars. The Loan MAvoa refused the warrant, but summoned the parties before him. They were Mr. H. A. Illinpwortb, formerly mana ger of the concern ; Mr. J. S. Gordon, traveller to the Company ; and Mr. J. Hutchinson, a merchant of Lime-street. Mr. Buttcvant, the Secretary, produced the housekeeper to the concern, who said, that on Friday, the three defendants went to the house in Crotched-friars, and 3he did not know that Mr. filings. worth, who was constantly in the habit of calling,kad been removed from the management. The Gentlemen having borrowed a coik screw, remained up stairs, while she was kept below by a Lady who had made her appearance, and who kept her in conversation. The Gentlemen above stairs enjoyed themselves with some bottled ale, and a smith came to the house, as he said, to break open a lock. Thr Lady continued to talk with her until the Gentlemen went away. In the morning she found the closet broken open, and Buttevant said, that from the closet had been stolen a bill for ~El 22, and cash of which he was io trust to the amount of X 35. be. sides a cheque and several' hooks. [At this moment an officer entered the Justice-room, bearing two placards, which he said had attracted great crowds iu the street; one of the placards was headed " STOP THIEF," • " Chairman—Perna Moons, Esq. M.P." This exhibition excited roars of laughter. The Loan MAYOR or dered that everything of the kind should be seized by the officers.] Mr. WaTsox, who appeared as Counsel for the defendants, put several questions to Mr. Buttevant, and he in reply to them said, that the bill which had been taken was the property of the Com pany.—Mr. Illingswortk had been manager, and was a shareholder in the Company; but neither of the other defendants was a holler of shares in the Company. Mr. Buttevant also said that the property In question was stolen from a tin box, on which was written the name of the Company. The original Directors of the Company were hinwlf and Mr. Illingswortb ; and although they had no salary now, they expected to get some when the concern succeeded. lie denied that he had endeavoured to injure the Company by false r..presentations, of that be had gone to Mr. Peter Moore and told him that the Company was in a state of bankruptcy. Halley, the messenger, was next examined, and he said lie had lost several trifling articles on the night abovementioned. He was neither a Director, nor a Shareholder, nor had he received scrip. Mr. Wallow then addressed the Lona Marva on behalf of the defendants, and contended that what Mr. Illingsworth had done, was for the benefit of the public, in order that they might have something divided among them. The Loan AIAYOIL was of opinion, that :he defendants had acted with great violence; but the charge of felony could not be sustained. The transaction was, to a certain extent, disgraceful, and lie hoped by should never again hear of such a thing in the City of London. The charge of felony was then dismissed, and it was arranged, that Mr. iiuttevant should have the money which he claims as his own, and that the bill should be returned to the person entitled to it, or full value for it. GUILDHALL. A well-dressed individual, named Francis Higginson, was yester day charged with assaulting Mr. Spencer, the Governor of White cross-street Prison. It is the custom, in the Debtors' Prison, for every individual, when be becomes a member, to pay what is termed the prison dues. If he refuses, he is called, that is, when Ire has retired to rest, his fellow-prisoners come to his bedside, dis guised with sheets, &c. and seize as much of his apparel as they can pawn for the ..mount. A man named Silk, who had recently entered the prison, had retried to pay 17s. 6d. the full demand, and would pay no more than 10s. Wednesday night, when one of the turnkeys went to lock tip the ward, he found all the prisoners had retired to rest, except the prisoner Iligginson, and who re , rued to go to his bed, unless Silk was sent back to the general ward, Silk having slept for thrr,first two nights in the receiving ward, until he had been examined by the surgeon. Mr. Spencer was sent for, and upon his remonstrating with the prisoner, he took up a poker and held it up in a menacing manner. Mr. Spencer also said, that he told Iligginson that Silk should return to his ward the next day, and if he was a defaulter with ►egard to the dues, he would make good the deficiency. Higginson, however, conducted hinisel in a very menacing way, and held up the poker as if he in tended to strike him with it. The prisoner said he had been an inmate of the jail nine months, and he cbaUeMged Mr. Spencer to say if, during that time, he had misconducted himself. Hr bad been unanimously voted into the office of Steward. He had no intention of tatting Silk, but by his being retutned to his proper ward at night, he was anxious that no unfair distinctions should be mad4amongst the prisoners. Mr. Alderman Wows immediately (ordered the prisoner to find bail, and he was committed in default. MARL BOROUG H-STRE ET. A person named Green, who said he resided in Grove-street, Camden -town, came before the Magistrate, and said that on blon day afternoon he was passing through a place called Gill's-hill-lane, which is a long narrow lane, running limn Hampstead-heath to- wards the Edgeware-road, when he found on the ground, a soldier's cap with the black plume, and which he thought bad belonged to a soldier of the 4th regiment, or King's Own. On the inside of the cap were several marks of Mood, which appeared quite fresh, and on the outside of the cap were several bruises, as if they had been indicted by some heavy instrument. He observed no marks of blond on the ground, but front the appearance of the hedge, be should conceive that some persons had been struggling there.—Mr. Dowse said it was a most mysterious circumstance, but that every endeavour should be used to trace out the person to whom the cap belonged. MARY-LA-BONNE. Yesterday, Mr. Thomas Parker, Manager of the Metropolitan Dairy Company, at Paddington, was brought to this Office in the custody of Hooker, the officer, charged by the Directors of the above Company with detaining the sum of 6W. It appeared that the defendant bad been regularly appointed :11a nager of the Dairy by the Directors, at a salary of SOW. a year; that at a partial meeting of the latter, it was resolved to dismiss the defendant, who being appointed by the Directors in general, refused to acknowledge the right of the few to discharge him ; and accord ingly withheld for the present the above sum, which was in his hands. After evidence had been heard— The Magistrate, addressing the Agent for the Directors, ob served :—You have not proved -a dismissal, and he must re -1 main your Manager still. Before you can dismiss him it is ne cessary for all the Directors who appointed, to be of the same opinion, unless you can shew that a majority can legally dismiss him. You say that you have bad only ens meeting prior to the dismissal, though it was necessary that resolution should be con firmed at a second meeting before you could dismiss him. It, he added, was a most shameful proceeding to drag the defendant, who was admitted to be a respectable man,into a Police Office on a charge of felony, merely in consequence of a private dispute. The Company well knew, when they appointed the defendant, that he was to be re.ponsible for all monies he received belonging to the Company, as he had gives security, Ste. for his faithful services; and that he had a atilt to keep tLe money (the £69) while be was holding the ti tuatiun to which he bad been appointed. He was bound to makt this observation in the Court that Mr. Parker was leaving it with out the least reflection on his character. The Gentleman was discharged and the parties left the Offices WORSHIP-STREET. Ser rah HO was fully committed; chatged with stealing a if. note: 11. Me!drum, a weaver, was at the King's Arms, Wilkes-strer; Spite Melds, when he asked the Landlady to change the note, which sbe was unable to du. The prisoner then laid, if he would stand halt a pint of gin, she would get it changed, and prose,:utur gave it td her fur that purpose; but the refused to return either that et the change. LA M LI ETII-STREET. Eleanor Nesbit was re-t-z.nnined, and fully committed, charged . with robbing her master, Mr. How, a linen draper, in the Ct-th menial Road, of articles in his trade to a considerable amount. TOWN HALL. Eliza Brown was charged with robbint; a I.lllor of Its 6d. atl,7 the officer swearing to her bt lug a common prostitute, the mut ,ktir to Brixton fur one month. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BRIGHTON HARRIERS. In consequence of the severe frosts, and the hardened condition of terra firma, field sports in the Sussex district, this week, have been almost entirely suspended. The suh•ctiption pack of I.arr.erf. on Saturday, threw off in Cohistone Bottom, to a field of three horsemen, and treble that number of pedest. ians, among the latter of whom were the huntsman and whipper-in, and found al must immediately; but puss presently escaped, thott,di they rot her in view for about fifty yards, when she dlialipeared in ago--e patch, and the scent was too Weak (or rather it was totally abonl!) to lead to any farther diversion with her, or discovery. A secoP.l bare, however, was at last started—another view halloo suuttilet . ., followed by a run of about 100 yards, when it terminated July to the former. The dogs, after the latter it - effectual struggle, went back to the kennel. TROTTING MATCH FOR ONE HOUR, BERTRAII, THE MAU, AND DIADIDI.-111is great match, which had been twice off during the frist, and which was mewed from time to time by consent of the parties, took pl ice yes:erriay morn ing, over a mile and a half of ground, in Captain Peters Park ride, Oxfordshire, for 500 sovereigns. The mare was rude by Scott, groom to Mr Maynard, the owner ; and the horse by Tee,- dale, the jockey lad, each carrying Est. 21b. The match drew marl perions together, from the north road particularly, and betting was about 11 to 10 upon the mare. The start took plate at difterent ends, and Bertram did the distance in 1 hour 2 min. 30 sec. Dia dem in 1 hour 3 min. 50 sec. The distance performed was sixteen miles and a half, and it will appear that both performed rather Itlll than 16 miles within the hour, although both went the ground out to decide other bets.
