SIR RICHARD BIRNIE A? M.,BELZONI. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

" OPERA CHARITY FETE. As a traveller, and one who wishes to see as much as Os of the manners and splendour of civilized nations, as well as customs and slavery of the half wild ones, I considered the 1.:11 given last Thursday at the King's Theatre for the relief of w Distressed Irish, one of the best opportunities that chance al;,1 afford me to behold an assembly of the beauty and magni s: ze of this country, and to contribute, at the same time, to so charitable purpose. Unfortunately, having been very re „oti on the Continent, I returned to England too late to pro oNself with a ticket of admission into the King's Theatre :n above night. I communicated my wishes to some friends the day before the ball was to take place, and on Thursday torting, a person, from a respectable quarter, called at m 7, OAK, and acquainted me that Mr. Ebers, owner of the King s Theatre, had one hundred tickets to dispose of, and that I might one at the price of ten guineas. o I cid not hesitate to send for the ticket, meaning to contri s.L. ch..t sum to the above charity; but I am since informed ol.ly two guineas out of ten will be applied to the relief of tr poor; and as 1 am going out of England within a few weeks, i.d, probably, a 10.:g time will elapse before my return, I could ct lase the promising opportunity of satisfying my curiosity In :ono a Ilritisi; fete for charity's sake. Accordingly I presented at the theatre, and when half way up the stairs,-rny ticket rat 7ric.c‘ted : it bore the name of the Countess de Grey; send, 1. : back. that of Mr. Vaughan. No sooner did I present it to the cheek-taker than he acquainted me that I was not per tt d to pass tso . and in a very abrupt manner, said that I must there: at the same time he called some one out, and two i:e otiicers appeared, who took me into their custody ; and that state I remained for about a quarter of an hour, exposed i had been in a pillory) to the Public, who entered in crowds : ale time. I will not enter on the minutia of the petty in fits i received, or on what I felt, for that may easily be con- Lived front any who has feelings of honour : at last, perceiving gentleman conversing with the officers, who kept a strict watch ter me, as if I had committed some high treason, I requested at he would have the goodness to be witness that I was then trier an arrest by the police officers; be was the Earl of Ancram, who having been informed that I had the ticket from Mr. Ebers, sad that it was a ticket which bad been lost ; and I was unable to conceive how it could have fallen into the hands of Mr. Ebers L. be sold. " At last, having given my name to the Noble Earl, he told ire to give my ticket to him ; for which, in exchange, his Lord sh:F kindly offered me his own, which I accepted, and entered fa Theatre, where, by the illusion and splendour of the scene, boon forgot the disagreeable adventure at the door. His Ma jo:y had not yet entered the house, and I was waiting, with ihoL,rauls more, for his desired appearance. Half an hour- bad d, when not less than three Bow-street torturers, or rather, tat f-catchers, surrounded me, and with that gentleness, which 'hey Zr', I suppose, accustomed to use to felons, I was com %r.ded to march out and appear before Sir Richard Birnie, who in the Concert-room, and, with the authoritative tone with tiich, no doubt, he addresses rogues and thieves, ordered me I) toallr Out of the house. I attempted to address myself to him, IA to explain ; but he s aid, " I will not hear any thing from Sos, Sir ; you entered with a wrong ticket, and you must go out. ts-Tscrs, do your duty—as I take upon myself to answer a'r." And this was said with a smile, signifying, - as I thought, tot no reproaches could be made to a person like himself for Ciatever error he might commit. a I must confess, that I was a little at a loss how to account kr all this proceeding ; but could not suppose that the owner of the Theatre himself could sell a ticket, the bearer of which r.iro become the victim of mismanagement and bad regulations: k.at "hat surprised me above all was, that Sir Richard Birnie, lacing heard the question on one side, would nut hear that of the other. Ilad Sir Richard hearkened to my defence, I would hoe told him at once that 1 had bought the ticket from Mr. lien, who was then in the house, and having ascertained that I bank the ticket from him, Sir Richard would have acted right, and all would have ended satisfactorily : but the more I attempted rt explanation, the More peremptorily he ordered his satitites to 6 their duties. Thus I can form a pretty correct idea, at my own expense, of the impartial administration of justice by this Gentle t:an. I held in my hands the ticket given to me by the Earl of An cram, which was snatched from my hand by one of the gentle r:en officers, and which ticket was also pronnuaced to be wrong. nothing could then avert the immediate execution of turning me tat of doors ; and even theatediation of the Lord Mayor, who was casually present, and had signified that he knew me, could not prevail -on. Sir Richard to examine this unpleasant tflair, before he so hastily condemned me: yet this Gentleman ie at the head of the police over the greatest metropolis in the s cold ! Notwithstanding all this, I contrived to keep my place, in hopes that the mistake would be rectified at the end. " At this time Sir Richard was called out by some one, and I was left'in custody of two officers, as a culprit, in the face of that were present. On the return of Sir Richard, Mr. M. e:tdeavoured to persuade him that I was incapable of making use of an irregular ticket, and that I was as numb known as any one ' ' But Ido nut know him replied Sir Richar d; by which o, e-laration I felt myself highly flattered, having resided In Eng iota about twenty years, except the time of my journey; but it rev great honour to the vigilance of Sir Richard, who is at the head of the Police, and ought to know every foreigner in "le country. Sir Richard urged, that Lords MountCharhs and i;wydyr had acquainted hint that 1 . entered the House with a ':tong ticket; but I can scarcely believe that their Lordships , ould act so unworthily by me and by themselves, as to suppose rate capable of making use of a wrong ticket. " Finally, the Earl of Antram appeared, and Indio; the ticket i.e had honoured me with was in the hands of the officer, took it from him and returned it to me, informing Sir Richard at the same time that Mr. Ebers declared that the ticket halbsen sold Ly him, and that he would be answerable for it. I was then left at large, to enjoy the fete if I could; and, having expressed- some dissatisfaction at the ill-treatment I met, I had, in reply, that if I had been another person I should have experienced r.o l ef t worse treattntht. So much for justice. I walked about 'Le Theatre till his Majesty left it, at half-past one, merely to myself to my friends, and then retired, much pleased with the sight; but 1 leave the reader to consider if 1 had not reason to be also disgusted, having met with some of the grossest ill. eatutent that coul.. be conceived, and that, too, from these very Psople who ought to have protected me, and whose harshaws ;And severity ought in justice to have been directed against Mr. J.Sers, for selling me a wrong ticket—a circumstance I dull • =r .orget.-1. remain, Sir, your fiuntbia servant, " 6.

Air EDWARD Non, the Governor, bad not arrived, but was daily expected, as he bad passed the Isle of France, in the GLAterow frigate. She left the Cape on the 26th of March ; that plait and the Mauritius were healthy. The first division of the 49th Regiment had arrived at the Cape from England, but had been put into quarantine, in consequence of the measles having broken out among them.

The Sureas, 78, Captain Anut MAceratzn, having landed the two millions of dollars which she brought from the South American merchants, sailed this afternoon for Plymouth, to be paid off. It is understood that the alterations contemplated in the Dock-yard relate to the duties and salaries of the respective Officers of all classes, and the Clerks, and the superannuation of such as are infirm or past ac tive age. Sir Jamas Cocesuan, Paymaster of the Royal Marine Forces, has this week inspected the Portsmouth division, the ac counts, &c. It is said the Marines are to be mustered by their own Paymaster in future, and not by a Clerk of the Cheque Of fice, with a view to diminish that expense. With a view to a diminution of the great public expense attending the making the island of Bermuda a safe and convenient naval port, it is in tended to employ about 300 convicts in carrying on the la bourers work. The Coacounar. and Towrous stole-ships are to be fitted at this port for their conveyance thither; the former to remain and lie at the Island as a depot for them, during the execution of the works. Bermuda is considered as an essential station for our ships on the coast of North America and the West India stations, during_ any war with America.

" SlR—The Fermoy Committee for relieving the distresses of the famishing poor of that town and vicinity, request to return their grateful acknow ledgements to the Irish Distress Committee of the City of London Tavern, for their kind donation of £lOO in aid of their funds ; and they take this opportunity of stating, that Fermoy, during the late war, having been a considerable depot for regiments embarking for foreign service, a large proportion of the present destitute poor are the widows and orphans of those brave men who have fought and bled, and died for their country. It must excite the sympathy of the people of England to be informed, that many of the survi• vors of these heroes were actually subsisting on corn, kale, and nettle tops, until in some measure relieved by a gratuitousvieekly distribution of meat from the Committee. (Signed) JAMES ALLIN, Secretary." Three men, named O'Bryan, Duffy, and Kirby, died at islandcady, County of Mayo, on Monday, of starvation, not having had any food for six days before. At Castlebar, in that County, two uncoffined corpses of starved men were borne through that town ; and, to shew what a pitch want is brought to there, a family lived the last week on a cow that died of a loathsome disease.—Dublin Journal of Friday. HORRIBLE MURDERS. Tt would be difficult to match in atrocity the following nar rative of deliberate and premeditated murders, committed on an unfortunate man of the name of Patrick Lintitan and his wife, who resided near Carrigaline, about six miles from Cork city.-- This unfortunate man (Linehan) who was once a i decent farmer, had, in conjunction with another man named Michael Cahill, en tered into a 'contract with H. Hewitt, Esq. of Cork, for raising stone out of a quarry this Gentleman possessed near Carragallne. 3 —Linehan, apprehensive that he and Cahill were drawing more money on this agreement titan the return of their labour war ranted, or the idle habits of Cahill justified, came to .51r. Hewitt and warned him not to pay too freely, and when Cahill came for money to Mr. Hewitt on Saturday week, that Gentleman only gave him 2s. 6d. This is supposed to have excited a diabo lical revenge in the mind of Cahill against Linehan, which is sup posed to have prodticed the fatal catastrophe we.are about re cording. Linehan went to work as usual at the quarry on Fri day morning last, but never returned home. Friday night the house of Linehan was broken into, and the unfortunate wife, near her time of childbirth, was inhumanly murdered ; her shill was fractured, and stabs were found in several parts of her body ; the bed on which she lay, and everything of 'value in the house, were taken away, including some money, one piece of linen, and one ylece of frieze.— W. H. W. Novntrhau, Esq. a Magistrate, havitg received such • information as led hint to suspect that Linehan bad been also murdered, caused diligent search to be made, and after some time the body of poor Linehan was traced by marks of blood, front the quarry where he worked to another quarry at some distance, where it was found under a heap of stones , dreadftally mangled. Cahill has been apprehended on loptclo;), and com mitted for Author czaminalton.

At nine tido& the Ist and 9d Regiments of Life Guards, the Royal noes, the 10th Hussars, the 14th Light Dragoons, the 15th Hussars, and a small brigade of Artillery, came on the, Heath. tkeir dressed and appointments appeared to be all new ; and their state. of discipline, condition of cattle, and general ap pearatice, teas of th e highe s t order. About twelve his Royal Highness the Ccousaunea-au-Getter, accompanied by kis Grace the Duke of %mammon and by a few othtr Otikers of distinc don, arrived, and rode slowly on the ground. The Peltier and Pitta's of Damietta had previously arrived on the ground in I. plain private carriage, drawn by four poet horses. The carriage was placed in front of the line, behind the spit op which the Comsaanst-nt-Cnier afterwards took his station to view the troops. His Royal Richness the Prince of Dinntaaz, who was dressed in a plain dark green coat, with a star on his left breast, and who, in appearance, is not much un like the Duke of Yost himself, mounted his charger, and rode on the right of the Duke during the close inspection of the Re giments which followed. He appeared highly delighted with the appearance of the men, and made many observations on the elegance of their costume. The ComMANttem-..- having passed along the front and rear of the line, surrounded and followed by a very numerous Staff and an incalculable number of horsemen, proceeded to the station we have already described, which was considerably in advance of the carriages. The whole of the regiments, in the first instance, passed tke COWMANDIft-IX-CHIST in divisions, in ordinary tittle; they after wards passed in single file, and subiequently in divisions, at full gallop. Nothing could exceed the precision with which these movements were made. A series of fourteen different military manoeuvres followed, exhibiting various modes of attack and de fence, both on the part of the heavy and light dragoons, which included charges in line and by squadrons ; advances and re treats, changes of position, and in fact every thing which could afford the spectators a notion of the operations of welt troops in the field of battle. Skirmishers were thrown out, who discharged their pieces as if at an approaching enemy ; and what added greatly to the identity of the scene, was the spirited and active operations of the brigade of Artillery. Notwithstanding the astonishing rapidity with which some of the movements were made, not a single man was unhorsed, and we have not heard of any accidents to throw a damp on the pleasures of the day. In conclusion, the whole• of the troops formed in line, and advancing in front, gave a grand salute, the Artillery being repeatedly discharged on the right and left flanks. The utmost credit it due to the Officers of the 4ay for the zeal and *entree/ with which they performed their respective duties. The whole Brigade was under the command of Lord CATHCAST. Sir %Mai HILL commanded the heavy, and Lord Eowaan Sommer the light dragoons. After the Review, the Prince and Princess of DINYARIC ho noured Sir thrown and Lady Pococez with a visit at their villa at Twickenham, and afterwards proceeded to town to dinner. TRANSMISSION OF SOLDIERS' MONEY. War Office, Departnient of Accompts, Arbil 30, 1822. Sts—h having been represented to me that Soldiers on fo reign service are often desirous of sending money to this country for the use of their families or friends, but that considerable difficulty is experienced in a ff ording the means of so doing, I have the honour to acquaint you, that with a view to afford facility to the Soldier tq make such remittances without loss or risk, the Regimental Paymaster may deduct from the total of the expenditure in the Regimental Pay List the amount of what ever remittances may be wished to be made, specifying the names of the men, and the sums for each, in the sheet appro priated for " sums deducted." A separate Memorandum from each man, having the signature of the Commar.ding Officer, or the Captain of his Company, directing the appropriation of the sum he has allowed, is to be transmitted to the Regimental Agent; and when, in addition to this voucher, the Agent shall have obtained the receipt of the person to whom the money was sent, the amount will be admitted as a charge in the Agent's accompts.—l have, icc.
