S . PUBLIC DBFAULnis. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR, LONDON. Pub, 4th July, 1844. _ _ Sia-7-Flaving observed in a Foreign Journal this clay, an Extract from your Paper of a Return to thb House of Commons, in which my name appears as a Public Defaulter, as Agent to sundry Regiments, to the amount of upwards of 40,0001. I take the ear liest opportunity of observing to you, that the state ment in question is substantially false—l neither owe nor ever owed to the Public the sum so stated. IVha:ever balance may be due to the Public on the anal audit of my accounts, which are not yet passed, is already undertaken to he secured in the most un exceptionable manner to the Government. I remain, Sir, your very obedient Servant, P. B. DB BLAQUIERF.. • • 1 0„ 0 We give ready insertion to the above letter, as we wish ever y person who conceives himself aggrieved by anything that pas appeared in the STAII 4 to be heard in his own defence. in justice to ourselves, however, we must observe, that the state ment was taken, as it purported to be, from a Return made to the house of Commons. In that Return, Peter Boyle Blaquicre, partly on his own account, and partly as executor of Edward Leahy, deceased, stands as a defaulter in the Irish Military Ac counts, in various sums amounting to upwards of 42,0001. of which not a shilling has yet been recovery!, though a sum of 56731. three per cent. stock, 6991. in cash, and " a mortgage of the I..nds of Portlernen, in the county Of Westmeath, of little value in consequence of prior incumbrances," are expected to be rendered available to the payment of these debts. The re turn adds, that the Colonels of the several Regiments who ap pointed Mr. Blaquiere to the agency, may be held responsible, and sued for the deficiencies. We are, however, very happy to hear from Mr. Blaquiere, that the Public will not be a loser in this instance. No account has yet reached town of Mr. A/MR CROMiIi, or of the Messenger of the House of Com mons who was sent after him on Tuesday evening, with the Sreastrit's_warrant for his immediate at tendance in Parliament. Unless the Ho .Gentleman has been intercepted' in his way, G. By this ise.ts at trobro'-town, " If man and horse bild good." A Correspondent recommends that the floor of the House of Commonsihould be matted, like that of the House of Lords. Since some Members of the former have adopted the dandy fashion of copper-bottomed shoes and hoots, their clatter is a strange disturbance to the audibility of the speakers. The Highgate Chapel Bill is, it seems, to be per severed in. This Bill professes to have for its object the diversion of a fund left by will for the support of a perpetual Grammar-school at Highgate, to the bailding of a Chapel, and the payment cf a Clergy man. It is admitted that all questions of private pro ' perty come under. the jurisdiction of the Courts of Law or Equity: and it places in no very reputable point of view the motives. which govern the authors of this Bill, that the whole subject embraced by it is actually now before the LORD CHANCELLOR, whose decision the Bill anticipates, or rather condemns be foiehand, inasmuch as, if the justice of the case were with them, the abettors of it need not be so impatient for legislative interference to enforce their claims.— But the meditated cosstraiention of the will of the founder, and consequent iftvaxion upon the rights of property, the inhabitants of Highgate conceive to be no less snani:est in this measure,:than they do its ten dency.to abrogate the Courts of Jnstice by tempting amajosity of both Houses of Parliament to take on themselves the functions of LORD CRANCRLLOR.— Sir ROGRR CMOLPIELRY left his money to maintain a flee Gs animar-school at Highgate—not to endow a Church, or to yield a large in*me to a Clergyman; and with what face can the advocates of the Church of England defend her sacred rights and vested pro perty against those who would lay them both prostrate, if here the self-called friends of the 'Establishment presume to found an extension of its interests upon the direct violation of a right of property sacred as that of the Church itself? A house of prayer built upon-the ruins of common honesty will not much serve the cause of religion : nor is it short of insult and irreverence to think of consecrating to holy pur po.uthe plunder of the living and the dead!

This Farce is' the production of a Mr. JONES, of Edinburgh. It is an avowed adaptation from the French, and founded on the followinf u lizidents Peter Fin (Mr. n) is a lishmonger.of fortune, who never saw the sea, and leaves off business in consequence of a magni ficent bequest left him and his daughter, on condition they never sleep under the same roof with a certain cousin, Henry Turtle. ton (Mr. Baira), who would, on the occurrence of such an event, be entitled to dispossess his more fortunate relatives of the fortune from which he had been disinherited for some youth* ful frolics. Peter, as before observed, had never seen the sea, but always had an unconquerable desire to visit the shores of that element, from which he had derived his former consequence in trade. Ah old friend Mr. Morgan (Mr. Youionts), with whom be had planned a trip to Brighton, disappoints him, but promises to send a young man inst e ad , as Fin's guide to Digh ton. Cousin Frederick Gower (Mr. Johnson) avails himself of this circumstance, gets his friend Hurl Turtleton to pass him self riff on Peter for Morgan's substitute, who, after driving the old fishmonger and his daughter great part of the night in a close carriage round the environs of London, lands him in Bed. ford-square, which Fin Mistakes for Brighton. There the disin herited cousin, introduced under the disguise of a French noble man, prevails on Peter and Harriet (Mrs. Gamma) to sleep at his supposed marine villa, and by which means their for tune is forfeited ; but, on the coudn's offering to share it with the lady, the fishmonger is reconciled, and after a number of whimsical mistakes, arising from Fin's supposing London to be Brighton, he joins in the laugh against hitnself, and igrees to set of with the new married couple en a real visit to the marine pavilion. As a Piece of a gay and bustling character, there is much that demands praise in Peter Fin. The author never attempts more than he effects, and at the same time does not fail to afford frequent sources of laughter and amusement. The Plot is simple, and the action generally proceeds with decided effect.— LiaTou was richly bumerotts Gls the retired fish monger, and convulsed the House with his eager desire to see the sea, and with his perplexities at dis covering himself in Bedford-square, when he had heard the sea mann all night .6 for all the world like the fish-carts going to Billingsgate." The other Performers also exerted themselves, and contributed greatly to the favourable reception of the Piece,which was announced for repetition, with general applause, to a very crowded audience. ENGLISH OPERA-House.—The new Piece of 411 ix the Dark was repeated last night, with, if possible, increased success. It is a very pleasing production, and promises to prove a lastinß . favourite. In the two Dramas which succeeded, Miss CLARA FISHER again delighted the audience, who were loud in their approving expressions of the astonishing talents of this unparalleled prodigy. A numerous Meeting of Licensed Victuallers was held on Wednesday, at the Eagle Teve-n, in the City road, at which a Petition to Parliament against Mr. BROUGHAM'S Elll was unanimously agreed to. Vauxhall Gardens, it is expected, will present To morrow Evening a truly novel and interesting ap pearance. The Proprietors have, we understand, with a liberality which does them much credit, announced their intention of opening the Gardens that evening, for the purpose of giving a Grand Juvenile Fete, ex pressly for the accommndation of the Junior Branches of Families, when the usual amusements, ssith seve ral novelties suited to the occasion will be introduced, and commence at Six, terminate at Ten, and the Gardens close by half past Eleven o'clock.

The Grand Gala this Evening will commence at the usual time, and will consist of the powerful attrac tions which have been so much admired. FAIRLOP FAta.- - We have mentioned an accident, which took place at that Fair. We with it were the worst objection to that institution. Last year we called the attention of the Ilford Magistrates to the riot and disorder attending its extension to the Senday. A few years ago a public-spirited Magistrate, Mr.Gascorwa, attended by fifty constables, endeavoured to disperse the Sabbath-breaking tribe. He and his attendants were so roughly treated by the mob, that he died in conse quence of his meritorious exertions. This is a most serious evil. It might be worth consideration,whether, instead of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, always extending to Sunday, the Monday,Tuesday, and Wed nesday ought not to be the appointed days, and all the booths And tents struck on Wednesday night. At all events the Sunday should be preserved (tom such a disgraceful profanation. . Wednesday, an Inquest was held at the Wheel, Somers Town en the body of Mr. Wsccor, of that place, cabinet-maker, who' went to bed on Monday night in apparent health and spirits, but in the morning was found a corpse, having in the course of the night broken a blood vesieL—Verdict—Died by the Visitation of Gon. Yesterday, an Inquest was held at the Triumphant Chariot, In Grosvenor-place, on the body of T. Strather, footman to the Rev. Mr. Gream, of Richmond, who was climbing a tree on the lawn, after some birds' nests, when the branch of the tree on which he stood brake, and he fell a depth of 50 feet, by which his thigh was so dreadfully fractured as to cause his death.— Verdict—Accidental Death. A few days ago an Inquest was held by one of the Coroners for Monmouth, on the bodies of Thomas Miles, aged 52 years; Isaac Miles, 21 • Rebecca Miles, 5; and Mary Jones, servant, t % aged 24, of e Parish of Romney, in the above cottety, who were Wed dr wned in a creek, near the mouth of the Romney, ion the preeedi evening. It appeared that Thomas Miles, who was a farmer, residing near the Channel, went out with his son, the child, and the servant, about nine in the morning, taking with them the four horses employed on the farm, for the purpose of swimming thtm in the tide. Not returning at the time they were expected, the wife sent a lad to look for them, who seeing the horses grazing on the wharf near, returned. The poor woman concluded that they had gone to finish hoeing a piece of potatoe ground near the village, and continued at her work until the Rev. Mr. Davis, Milliliter of the parish, in ecmpany with a neighbour, went to her with the melancholy tidings that all the party wet . , found drowned. She was in the hid milking at the time - , but was obliged to be carried to the hones by the Mi nister and her neighbour, and at present continues very ill.

It was, however, a duty ; and it was in- for the City Solicitor to ba allowed to assist them creased by seeing a Bill introduced into Parliament under the direction of the Committee, in tut therance on this subject, in a manner the most insulting to that of their efforts in opposing a demand of 2s. 9d. in Court. He described some of the proceedings before the pound, recently made upon them, which was the Committee of the House of Commons, appointed agreed to, and ordered. on the motion of Sir William Curtis; but he could discover, no trace in the Report of that Committee of any return of balances; so that a tub was thrown to the whale, and the whole blame of the transaction of the balances was thrown upon the Chamberlain of London. This Bill intended to take all the emolu ments of this fund out of the Chamberlain's hands, though - he was occupied with the care of the fund for eight months out of the twelve. The House of Commons not only intended to take all out of the Chamberlain's Office, but to make him pay these ba lances out of whatever other funds he might have in in his hands. All that was done because this excel lent and efficient Officer had no friend in the Com mittee of the House of Commons to stand up in hit behalf. It was always the case, that information was given to that Court of any Bill being introduced into Parliament, affecting its interests; but it appeared that one Officer of the Court had heard this Bill read a first and second time without any notice, and having for its object to deprive another Officer of some of his emoluments. Every Monday the Collec tor gets the money, and then on each Saturday he pays it into Sir Williain Curtis's banking-house; this was all he did for his salary of 1501. a-year ; and surely the money could be as well paid into the Chamberlain's Office at once, for that Officer was surely as good security as Sir William Curtis. He contended that the balances in the hands of the Re ceiver averaged above 11,0001. at a time. Would the Court then suffer quietly a Bill to pass authoriz ing a balance of at least 8,0001. or 9,0001. to remain ' in the hands of the Receiver? Would they suffer this scandalous sinecure to be legalized by the House of Commons? The Court was going about with a begging box, to borrow money, while the House of Commons was taking the money of the Court out of the hands of the proper Officer, who would lend it' them when they really wanted it. He concluded by moving some Resolutions, on which he would ground a Petition to the House of Commons, to postpone the Bill till another Session of Parliament. Mr. OLDHAM should not follow the worthy Alder man through a vast field of argument, which, in his opinion, had nothing to do with the question. He was of opinion that a Receiver of this money was to tally useless, and the money might as well be paid into the hands of the Chamberlain at once, who was as respectable as any Banker in the City of London. The worthy Alderman had strongly animadverted on the conduct of Sir Wm. Curtis; for whom, though he (Mr. Oldham) entertained unbounded private re spect, yet he had a perfect opposition to his public conduct. Now, Sir William Curtis had only trodden in the steps of former Receivers ; the system had grown up with Receivers ; and the Court of Alder men was alone responsible for suffering, so long, such large balances to remain in the hands of Receivers. He understood that the Remembraneer only got the Bill prepared at the request, and by the Petition to Parliament, of the Court of Aldermen. He confessed., however, that the Receivership of this Fund bad been for a long time a perfect job, and was an office to tally unnecessary. • He was sorry that Sir William Curtis had not long igo given up this disagreeable situation ; but he bad been informed, that his being goaded about this matter, had prevented him from moping Wag ago—(Losighter).
