The IIYPEIUON frigate, Captain lAt.r.tenAr, is ordered to pro ceed from Sheerness to Plymouth, to embark General Lord CHARLES SOMERSET, who is on his return to the Government of the Cape of Good Hope. The HYPERJON goes to the East In- dia station. Thursday, the nos!, 18, Captain Ctowm, and the MARTIN, 18, Captain Asazw, went out of Portsmouth harbour. These ships, with the Aunts, 18, Captain Azaso', are ordered to the Mediterranean, to relieve the Lama, Itaeztionse, and Scour. Our force there will consist of one ship of the line, three frigates, and eight sloops of war, viz. Roast ItrOLT (Vice -Admiral Sir °Ra ttail Moottz), SERINCAEATAM, RIVOLUTIONNAIRE, CAMBRIAN, MEDINA, DLSEATCH, lIRDEOLE., CHANTICLEER, Rose, 3lmam, Aacus, and ADVIINTURE. The EURVALCI frigate, Captain B,m.AND, came into Ports mouth on Monday to be paid off and re-t:ommissioned , all stand ing. It is said she will be fitted for the broad pendant of Com modore CHARLES GRANT, C.B. for the Cape of Good !lope sta 'Von. The Teti, 28, Captain Coz, is the only ship now fitting out at that port. Sir IiYAM MARTIN, Sir R. Suremns, and the lion. Colonel STATYLToN, have been engaged at the Dock-yard, PortsmAuth, since Monday morning last, as a Board of Inquiry into the va rious departments, with a view. to mate reductions in the expenses. The Dock-yard gates were closed on Ftiday night against the workmen, they having performed their newly stipu lated time of working, five days only in the week. The Officers are to attend on Saturdays as usual. The estimated s vings, in wages and materials, by this regulation, will exceed seventy-five thousand pounds per annum. The stock of timber in Portsmouth Dock-yard is unprece dentedly great, and the ships now arrive faster than they can be conveniently unloaded. The Rev. W. EVANS is appointed Chaplain of the QUEEN CHARLOTTE, vice the Rev. I). ',men, appointed to llaslat Hos pital.

The T urk s' were thrown into the sea, the Greeks alleging that their countrymen ntsa the same fate at Constantinople. It is stated that four other ships, belonging to the Pacha of Egypt, hate Leen captured, and carried into Idea." Saturday, died at Margate, in the prime of life, Captain CHARLES CLOUGH, Master of the Cere monies at that place. The Marquis sif WATERFORD is recovering from his late severe indisposition. The Duke of BEDFORD is now in Scotland, where his Grace is enjoying the amusement of grouse shooting. Rtsto's TneaTae.—Saturday night the Italian Opera terminated its labours, after a season of suc cess that has not been paralleled for many years past, and which has clearly proved that liberality and judgment in engaging and employing performers, combined with a skilful management of details, will never fail to meet with support from the classes which frequent this fashionable temple of the Beaux Arts. MOZART'S Figaro was chosen for the last evening and it was charmingly performed. After which Gao save Me King was chaunted by the whole corps, and encored, but not without some little opposition. The House was filled in an extraordinary manner, for so advanced a period of the season, and the performance went off with the greatest eclat. COBURG THEATRE.—The new Grand Spectacle still continues to attract tiumerous and fashionable audiences nightly. Among the distinguished who graced the boxes last week were, Ills Highness the Prince of Saze.Melningen, the Portuguese Ambassador, the Count and Countess St. Antonio, Dowager Coolness of Glengall, Earl of Fife, Lord Milsinton, General Mosbeim, Mrs. Fitcherbert , lio n. Douglas Kinnai, Colonel Frederick, Major Grey, Captain Fauquier, VAUXHALL GARDENS.—This elegant and rural place of fashionable resort on Friday night exhibited a scene of magnificence and brillianty scarcely ex ceeded by the splendid fete given in honour of his MAJESTY'S Birth-day. The propitious state of the Weather, as well as the irresistible attraction of the Gardens, drew together an assemblage of company extremely numerous, and of the most respectable de scription. The fete being in honour of the Birth-day of his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, the deco rations and devices were of an appropriate descrip tion. Around the facade, or covered promenade, there was a series of military trophies and laurel reaths, composed of variegated lamps ; in other parts of the Gardens there were other additional ornaments, and in the grand quadrangular area, in rear of the orchestra, were the words "Long live the Duke of York," in etters formed of gold-coloured lamps. The music, both in the selection and the ar rangement of the parts, and in the performance, had the most eminent merit. The approaching close of the Gardens seems to be regarded with regret by all parties, and there being only two nights which re main, namely, tl.is evening and Wednesday, for the ajmis.ion of the Public to its selucing scenes of nett' anJ splendour, we may easily predict h9w - and unite; sal will be the attendance. THE dRIVT. The following will be the disposition of the three Regithents of Guards on the 25th of August next : Ist Regiment—lst. Ilattalion,from the Tower to Westminster quarters; 2d ditto, to retnain at Windsor; ad ditto, to remain at Knightsbridge. '2l lie giment-Ist Battalion, from Hounslow to Portman Barracks; •ed ditto, from Westminster quarters to King's Mews. 3d Regiment-Ist Battalion, are now on their route from Plymouth; future destination not as yet known ; 2d ditto, from the King's Mews to the Tower. A troop of the 4th Regiment of Dragoons have marched into Norwich, to replace the troop of the 9th Lancers, who are gone to Canterbury. Thursday a detachment from the 67th Regiment marched from Winchester for Portsmouth, to embark for New South Wales in charge of convicts. The order for reducing two companies in each of the Regi ments does not extend, we understand, to those serving ahro which are to be reduced only one company : the Regiments serving in India none. Thursday, a division of the third Dragoon Guards arrived in Glasgow from Carlisle, and a division of the sth Dragoon Guards marched from Glasgow the same day for Ireland. The Kirkcudbright Regiment of Gentlemen and Yeomanry I Cavalry, commanded by the Honourable Mr. Commissary Gott noe, assembled in quarters at Kirkcudbright, on the 3lst ultimo, for eight days permanent duty and pay, in terms of the Act 44 Geo. 111. chap. 54, sec. 23, and it was reviewed on the 6th in stant, in absence of the Lord Lieutenant ar-i Vice-Lieutenant, by Colonel Ma :twat, of the Galloway Militia, one of the De puty-Lieutenants, who issued the following Inspection Order: " Kirkcudbright, August 6, 18C1. " Colonel Maxwate. begs to assure Colonel GOIID9N, that he derived great satisfaction at the steady, soldierlike appearance of the Gentlemen Yeomanly Cavalry of the Stewartry, at the in spection this day. The side in which the Regiment performed a variety of evolutions, the general appearance of the men and horses, and the condition of the arms, clothing, and appointments were such as to merit his unqualified approbation; and he has pleasure in stating, that he considers the Corps perfectly fit, in all respects, for the performance of every duty in quarters or on the field. He conceives it unnecessary to say more, for he is sure all the commendation an individual has it in his power to bestow, can he of little consequence to a body of Gentlemen, justly entitled, from their united efforts, to the applause and esti. maim of the whole Stewartty. Colonel MAXWELL requests that Colonel Goa Doe will have the goodness to convey his send marts to the Corps in any way he may think hest; and be sin cerely congratulates him, as Commander, on the fine appearance his Regiment this day made." After the review, the Corps unanimously requested their Commandant to communicate to the Loan LIEUTENANT and the Commander of the Forces, their readiness to be called upon to attend his MAJESTY, if he shall be graciously pleased to visit Scotland.—The Officers entertained above eighty . Gentlemen at dinner, in the County Hall ; and the evening was concluded by a Ball, given by the Corps to the Ladies and Gentlemen of the town and country. PARTICULARS OF THE AFFRAY WITH THE LIFE GUARDS AT CHELSEA. On Wednesday night last, August 16, about half past nine o'clock, a number of persons, and amongst them Charles Tucker, J. Draper, and two brothers named Wren, were drinking in the Princess of Wales public-house, in Sloane-street, Chelsea. There were four privates of the Life Guards present, who were jeered by the above persons for their conduct on the preceding day in Hyde Park. The soldiers bore with the insulting language of the men for some time, when they lost all temper, and called the men in return by degrading and abusive names. The men retorted by calling the soldiers " Butchers," and charged them with being " cold-blooded butchers of the people in Hyde Park"—" Cowardly lobsters;" and used many other most offensive terms. One of the soldiers seized a poker from the fire-place, and struck Tucker via lent blows with it on different parts of the body. A watchman was procured, who took the soldier into custody, and conveyed him to the watch-house, Hans Town. He gave his name, John Unwin, private, C. troop, 48, Captain M•Neal's company. Mr. Maybank, the watch.house-keeper and con- Istable, heard the complaint, and finding that the ac cusers were the first aggressors, and had given great provocation to the accused, he dismissed the case, having taken the oldiers' address to enable the ac leasers to proceed against the soldiers if they thought proper.—There being a great number of persons as sembled round the watch-house, who were using of fensive language towards the soldier who was in custody, Mr. Maybank told him that he should keep him in the watch-house till the crowd had dispersed, for he considered that his life might be endangered if he passed through the crowd. The soldier ex pressed himself perfectly satisfied at Mr. May bank's pi udent arrangement. Immediately after Tucker was gone, six of the Life Guards (three of them were Unwin's compa nions at the public-house), came to the watch-house, and demanded admittance, insisting that Unwin should be delivered up to them. Maybank attempted to remonstrate with them, hut they would hear no thing : they swore " D—n their eyes, they would have blood for supper!" and, seizing the large iron gates with herculean strength, they dashed them open in an instant, and entered the watch-house. Maybank rushed through the soldiers, at the risk of his life, with his staff; one of them seized it from him ; he re covered it, but received a number of severe blows in the affray. He got to Sloane-square, and sprang a rattle. About sixty or seventy soldiers assembled in Sloane-square, and a most desperate conflict ensued between the crowd and the soldiers. They threw at each other with stones, bricks, and missiles of evc description, and not less than twenty persons were considerably injured, and some of the soldiers were badly hurt. William M'Cabe, a watchman, lies dan gerously ill from the wounds and bruises that he re ceived: and a young man named Wild, of Exeter place, Sloane-street, is in St. George's Hospital, in a hopeless state, from the injuries he received from the soldiers. Mr. Maybank waited upon the Commanding Offi cer at the Knightsbridge Barracks, and represented to him the conduct of the soldiers ; he stated the whole affair impartially before the Officer, who was of opinion that it would be unjust in him to order the soldiers to be punished, when it appeared that the people were the first aggressors, and had used towards them the most gross and irritating language. By inquiry this morning we find that the watchman still continues in a dangerous state, and Wild is no better than he was on Saturday ; but no person has died in consequence of the wounds he received in the affray, as erroneously stated in a Saturday Evening's Paper. Mr. Maybank is very ill from the hurts which he re ceived when assaulted by the soldiers. It is reported that one of the soldiers is in a most dangerous con dition, at the Knightsbridge Barracks, from blows which he received. The whole affair is to be laid before the Commander-in-Chief, by the Parish Offi cers of Chelsea. FUNERAL SERMON'S, 4.c. (N CONSEQUENCE OF HER MAJESTY'S DEATH. Yesterday the majority of the Churches and Cha pels throughout the Metropolis were hung in black; and Funeral Sermons were delivered, as a respectful tribute to the memory of her late MAJESTY. CHAPEL ROYAL, ST. JAMES S PALACE.—'IIe hang ings of this Chapel were exactly of the same descrip don as those which were hung up when the Funeral Sermon of her late MAJESTY Queen CH :t RLOTTE was preached. The pulpit and the communion-table, to gether with the galleries, were completely covered with black and purple, and. the cushions and foot stools with black cloth. The communion-table sup ported a large coat of arms, and two superb gold candlesticks, containing wax tapers. The Kuw's singing-boys, and some choristers of Westminster Abbey, joined in the service. The Rev. Dr. MADDEN delivered a most impressive sermon. ST, MARGARET'S.—The inside of this Church was hung in a very tasteful style. The pulpit, the read ing-desk, altar, and communion-table, were covered with black. The pew belonging to the Speaker of the House of Commons, and that of the Church wardens, were hung all over with black, and the bass columns at the sides covered with era; e. The' Rev. Mr. llonarat delivera an eloquent sermon from Acts xvii. 31. WHITEHALL CrtapEc.—The pulpit and commu nion-table were coveted with black cloth. Several soldiers attended, and the Rev. Mr. JEFFERSON, of Cambridge, delivered an eloquent discourse. ST. MARTIN'S CHURCH, ST. MA RTI N'S-LANE.—The pulpit, together with the altar and communion-table, and the curtains which surround the pews, were all hung with black. The cushions and the front of the organ were also covered with black. In the front of the pulpit was fixed an escutcheon of the Royal coat of arms. The Rev. Mr. WOODMAN delivered a lumi nous discourse from Psalm 94, verse 19—" Accord ing to the multitude of my sorrows is my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul." ST. PAUL'S, COVENT GARDEN.—The pulpit and desks were covered with black cloth, with the Royal Arms emblazoned in front of the pulpit; the com munion-table was hung with black; the fronts of the galleries were hung with black cloth, looped up with cords and tassels; the pews were divided with black curtains; the beadles batons were covered at top with black crape, and all the charity children wore black ribbons—the bays tied round their collars, and the girls round their bonnets. The Church was crowded, and nearly all appeared in deep mourning. The sermon was appropriate to the occasion ; it was preached by the Rev. Mr. VERNON, Assistant to Dr. RANDOLPH, who took his text from Genesis, ch. iii. and last part of verse 19—" For dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return." ST. GILES WITHOUT CRIPPLEGATE.—The pulpit was completely enveloped in black, the canopy of which was festooned with black drapery. The Royal hatchment, beautifully emblazoned, was placed in the front; the desks were also in black; the commu• nion-table was fitted up with black; the galleries were lined in front with black drapery, and the top of the organ was hung in a superior manner. The whole had a most solemn effect. An appropriate sermon was delivered by the Rev. Mr. CRISSOLD, who took his text from the fourth chapter of St. James, part of the 14th verse—" For what is your life? 'lt is even a vapour, that appeareth fora little while, and then vanisheth away." The congregation was numerous, and every individual was in mourning. MARY-LA-BONNE NEW CHUIICIL—The pulpit, the reading and clerk's desks, were severally fitted up with black cloth and hangings. The communion table was tastefully decorated with black drapery, as also the organ loft ; some of the pews were separated with black curtains. The whole bad a very solemn appearance. MARY LA-BONNE CHAPEL, lIIGH-STREET.—The pulpit and desks were covered with black, and the congregation were in sombre mourning. PADDINGTON CHURCIL—The pulpit, desks, and communion-table, were hung with black drapery, both yesterday and yesterday se'nnight. HANIMERSMIIII CHuncir.—Every part of this sa cred edifice was hung in deep mourning ; every per son was dressed in black; the sermon was pathetic, and spoke home to the feelings .of all present. The following others Churches and Chapels in the Metropolis were also hung with black, in testimony of respect for the memory of her late MAJESTY, and appropriate sermons were preached on the occasion: St. George's, Hanover-square; St. George's, Bloomsbury ; St. Giles's in the Fields ; Sr. Anne's, Soho ; St. John's, West minster ; South Audley-street Chapel ; Portland Chapel; Fitz roy Chapel; Pancras Church ; Islington Chapel; Pentonviile Cha pel; Claremont Chapel; Grosvenor Chapel; Gray's Inn Chapel; St. James's, Clerkenwell ; St. Luke's, Old-street; St. Leonard's, Shtireditch ; St. Mary's, Whitechapel; St. I3otolph, Aidgate; Bishopsgate Church ; Allhallows Lasdon.wall ; the United Pa rishes of St. Magnus the Martyr and St. Margaret, New Fnh street ; Christ Church, Newgate-street ; St. Sepulchre; Sr. Bride", Ficet-street ; St. Dunstan's Fleet-street; St. Clement I Dane's ; St. Mary-le-Strand ; St. Catherine's, and many ethers. rery Lady OLIVIA B. SPARROW has made a deduction of 20 per cent. from the rents of her Ladyship's Hunt ingdonshire tenants. The little Work which has lately appeared under the title of Practical Economy; or, The Application of Modern Discoveries to the Purposes of Domestic will be found equally useful to those who are wise enough to enter into the practice of the rules which it lays down, and entertaining to others, who may merely wish to amuse themselves with its theories. It professes to teach economy in every department of do mestic life; and so it does; but on such an agreeable plan, that it is sure to meet with willing pupils. 'To enjoy is to obey says the rational religionist; and, in the same manner, the object of the rational economist is to procure the greatest number of innocent gratifications at the least possible expense. "To save," as the au thor justly observes in his preface, is one thing ;to economize is another. Absolutely to avoid expense is to preclude enjoyment; but to economize expen-, diture is to unite enjoyment with prudence." Under this impression, then, the reader may safely suffer himself to be conducted by the Author of this inge nious manual through all its divisions, comprising a variety of new and useful information, calculated at once to increase our comforts, and diminish our expenses. rO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Harwich, August 18, 1821. Sra-*-Hearing that several inaccurate -accounts have appeared in the public prints relative to my at tending the funeral of our late beloved QuEeN, think it right, in justice to all parties, to lay before the I'ublic an authentic statement c.f the facts. Al though I have had reas al to know the feelings of Government with regard to myself, and the violent attacks made on me by the Government press, yet I have no wish to charge them unjustly. Upon the.de mi.e of her late MAJESTY, I f )resaw great difficulty if the funeral were to be under the direction of the Government, and therefore wished that the Executors should be the sole conduct:Ts of it, confident that the expenses would he cheerfully defrayed by those who were attached to her MAJEsTY through life. Had this course been adopted the Royal remains would have been conveyed to the tomb with all becoming decency, without that empty military parade, so con stantly denied her MAJEsTv when living, and so little in unison with her feelings; which would have af forded to all her friends an opportunity of paying the last tribute of respect to their injured QUEEN. Oa the 10th inst. I wrote the following letter: " 77, South Audley-street, August 10, 1821. " "My HEA R Sots—To you it must be almost unnecessary to ex press how earnestly I wish to pay the last tribute of respect and devoted attachment to our lamented gyres, by attending her to her last earthly resting place. Since the period of her late Ma .II:STY'S return to this country, 1 have never left her, cheerfully Ilevoting my whole time to her interests, and promoting to the utmost of my power her honour and her happiness. Her Mi ae.ry gave me the only reward I looked for—her most un hounded confidence (perhaps beyond what she bestowed on any other individual), and she honoured me with the only title I ever coveted, by naming me her friend, and evincing, at all times, by her conduct, the sincere friendship and esteem she so con stantly expressed for me. The awful dispensation of the Dims will has now left me but one sad duty to perform, and I should be grieved if I were not permitted to follow to the grave the re mains of her I have so long loved, honoured, and revered; whose loss I now deplore with the deepest anguish, and the most unceasing sorrow and regret.—l remain, my dear Sirs, your'. most sincerely, " MATTHEW WOOD. " To Dr. Lushington and Thos. Wilde, Esq. &c. &c." The following answer was delivered into my hands by Dr. LUSHINCTON himself: " 'My Malt Six—Mr. Wilde has communicated to me your letter requesting to attend the remains of her late Mumr to the grave. To this request we can have no hesitation in acceding, and will certainly include you in the arrangements we are making in coujunction'with the Government for the due performance of this melancholy ceremony. " Believe me your faithful, bumble servant, " August 11, 1821. • "S. LUSHINGTON." Dr. L. at the same time observed, that from the conversation he had had 'with Lord LivEttrooE, he thought it probable that One but her late MAJESTY'S Household would be allowed to attend, and he wished to know if I could be considered in that character. I replied " certainly not as having any specific ap pointment; but having remained four months at Brandenburgh-House when her NIAJESTY had no other attendant but Lady ANNE HAMILTON, having constantly opened and answered all her letters since her arrival in this country; having acted as her Al moner ; having treated for, and made the final ar rangements for, her MAJESTY'S residence ; if these and many other unpaid services arc not sufficient to warrant your sending my name to the Government, I must contrive other means of paying my last tri bute to my Royal Mistress." Communicating afterwards with Mr. WILDE (for I never could bring these Gentlemen to meet me toge ther on this subject) he said, if Dr. L. refused to re turn my name, he himself would write a letter to the Under Secretary of State; which he accordingly did upon Dr. L.'s refusal. Mr. HOBHOUSE replied, " that as he understood from Dr. LUsHINGTON, that I was not of the Household, he could not, without a return of my name by the Executors, give any orders for my attendance. This was only intimated to me dist night before the funeral, Dr. LUSHII:CI - observing, that he had power to allow four prisons of the Household to attend who were not named, and suggested my going as one. I an swered, I would rather go at my own expense, and consequently provided myself with a mourning coach, scarf, and hat-band ; but, on the morning of the funeral, a coach having become vacant, Mr. BAILEY called my name, and I followed the Executors: arrived at Harwich, I was given to understand, that had the Executors, even here, returned my name for embarkation, which Dr. LUSHINBTON refused to do, the Government Officers would have made no objec tion, as several persons were allowed to go who were not of the Household. I felt this treatment most se verely, for on many accounts I had no reason to ex pect it from such a quarter. lam now waiting for the packet to Cuxhaven, and shall reach Brunswick in time to follow to the grave the remains of'ourneg lected and injured QUEEN. I am, Sir, your obe dient servant, MATTHEW WOOD. Mr. DENIS BOWES DALY was not the only person who suffered from the dexterity of the light-fingered gentry, at the time of the KrNo's landing at Howth. Sir JonN BURKE, Bart. whilst in the act of raising his hat above his head, cheering his MAJESTY, was imperceptibly disencumbered of his note• case, con taining, very luckily, only ten pounds! Yesterday the Dowager Marchioness of LANS. DOWN gave a dinner, ap her house in Albemarle street, to a select party of distinguished . personages. In the evening her Ladyship gave her usual enter tainment, which was attended by all the distinguished fashionables in town CORN E X CHANGR ' MARIC.LANR, AUGUST 20.—Having a very large supply of Wheat this morning and the weather continuing favoutable, caused a great depression in the trade: a few picked samples obtained Rant Monday's prices, but all other descriptions are full 2s. per quarter cheaper, without being able to effect sales of the inferior qualities at that abatement.
