PRIVATE AND AUTHENTIC ccoßilit6POND-E.Nd: • PARIS; FEH. 15.--The anniversary Ceremony Of the death of the "Duke de BEnat has been celebrated every where with a profound devo tion, for he is as much regretted by his enemies as his friends. The petards have given place to the piqueurs; and several persons haVe lat e ly b ee n pricked or stabbed, People cry out i t i s t h e rid Polite that doeS it.

The discussion relative to the Annuities re "rnrnences to-d a y ; all the " Orator; " have two days holiday to prepare their veecluss ; the dis cussion, if discussion it can be called, will be ex outnely violent --all is ; however-, tranquil with , and t h e M i nisters count on a strong majority; the circumstances are nearly the same in both Count ries, the p eacea b le and independent mem bers joi n t h e Ministry in every crisis -where the interests of the country are at stake, and the Radicals in both Countries are left in a great Minority.

Mr. Eon'Oa—The interest' which you have uniformly taken in what concerns the British Ship Owner, leads me to hdpe that you will per mit me, through the medidm Of yodr coluMns, to invite the attention of the Public to a Bill now passing through the House of Commons, pro fessing to be of a private nature, bUt in reality of the greatest moment to the Shipping Interest throughout the kingdom. This Bill (which stands for the second reading on Monday, the 19th instant), is " for assessing Ships belonging to the Port of Hull towards the Maintenance of the Poor." What those circumstances can be, which have occurred to make it fit to subject the Ship Owners of Hull to this new burthen, and to en title them to the honour of being the first Ship Owners whose vessels have been exposed to a direct assessment on shipping for the relief of the poor, I cannot conceive ; but I do most clearly see, that if the principle be adopted at Hull, it must, in justice to that Port, be followed at every other Port in the kingdom. Upwards of twenty years ago a similar attempt was made at the Port of Liverpool, upon similar grounds, but it proved abortive ; and the inhabi tants being thus driven to provide for their poor, by legitimate means, they were not long without discovering how it was to be erected, and for many years past the management of the poor of Liverpool has been such as for ever to banish the idea of burthening the shipping, as now proposed at the Port of Hull. It is my earnest hope that the present attempt will meet with a similar fate, otherwise the Ship Owners of the kingdom at large had better re sign themselves to their fate ; for if, instead of their burthens being alleviated, they are to be aggravated, their destruction is inevitable. Londuit, Fcb. 16111, IS4I. A SHIP OWNER. FOR THE SUN. TWOPENNY POST. MR. EDITOR-The communication of your Correspondent " Detector" smells not a little of the lamp—its features are demi-official, not only from the tartness of its language, but from other criteria which indicate that character. I shall leave 44 Amicus" to answer Detector," but in support of the observation of the former, I can truly say, that I have seen Newspapers sent by the Twopenny Post charged threepence instead of one penny, without any letters being enclosed in them, or any writing or other species of in formation expressed on them, which rendered them liable to be charged as letters. If the Revenue of the Twopenny Post Office is farmed by " Detector," or by any of his friends, or if he or they have any personal interest in it, I can readily excuse the tone of his letter : but if it forms part of the general revenue of the Post Office under either denomination, I know from authentic sources, that the free transmission of NEWSPAPERS by the Twopenny Post will not only increase the Stamp Office Revenue, but augment that of the Post Office. I shall on an early day, with your permisson,, resume this subject. Sumercet•place, Feb. 16, 182'. SCRUTATOR.

His Royal Highness seemed highly gratified with their fine appearance and good discipline. The Duke of WELLINGTON, and several distinguished Officers, were on the Parade. A military band hand of music, on horseback, was stationed op posite the Horse Guards, which played several pleasing martial airs. The Duke of YORK and the Duke of WELLINGTON were repeatedly sa luted by the populace. The following change of quarters will in a few days take place in the above regiments, viz.:— . . The Ist battalion of the Ist regiment from the King's w; to the Tower, instead of the Ist battalion of the 2d regiment, ordered to Birdcage-walk; 2d battalion of the lst regiment from Birdcage-walk to Portman-street Barracks, in the room of the 311 battalion of the Ist regiment, who go to Knightsbridge; and the 2d battalion of the 2d regiment, from Knightsbridge Barracks, succeeds the 3d battalion of the 2d regiment, now at Windsor, who relieve the Ist bat talion of the Ist regiment in the King's-mews, ordered to the Tower. The Ipswich Journal contains an account of a Fox Dinner, which was celebrated at Bury, on the 14th instant. Among the company assem bled were the following individuals, and we record their names for a reason which will be sufficiently obvious. There were three tables : —Sir It. HARLAND, Bart. presided at that in the centre, supported by the Duke of NORFOLK on his right and Lord ALBEMARLE on his left ; at the heads of the other tables were Sir H. E. BUNBURY, K.C. B. and the Hon. F. LUMLEY. The first toast was to " the memory of Charles James Foe—in solemn silence ; the second " the King"—in silence also ! The third, " the Queen," with " three times three." And yet, we dare say, these persons are accustomed to talk of their loyalty, their attachment to the Throne, and so forth. Loyalty forsooth ! If there had been one man in the room who knew and felt what genuine English loyalty means, he would have instantly quitted it. Such, however, is Whig loyalty.—(Morning Post.) We understand that Mr. NYSE, a young gen tleman of considerable talent, the head of the Waterford family of that name, and possessing considerable estates in that county, will shortly receive in marriage the hand of LETITIA, the daughter of LUCIEN BUONAPARTE, a young lady of considerable beauty and fortune. Mr. WYSE is a Roman Catholic, and distinguished himself much in our late H'storical Society.—(Freeman's Journal.) THE HIGHLANDSOCIF,TY OF LONDON. The first General Court of this COrporation for the prSent season,was held On Sattirday; at the Freemasons' Tavern .S. 111'G tr.LlVrt,iy, Esq. V.P.. in the Chair. A Variety of subjects engaged the attention of the Meeting. The Honorary Secre taries laid before them a Report Of the PrOceed ings of the Directors, contaiiiin.7, aver) , gratifying account of the state of the Society, aiid of a branch Society which had been fornied in Upper Canada tinder the direction of the Rev: Dr. Mac- DONALD, the Catholic Bishop of that Pro Vince, whose letter was ordered to be entered in the mi nutes of the Corporation, with a Vote of .thanks for the exertions and zeal of his Lordship in promoting the objects contemplated by the So ciety. This Report having been read and con firmed, a Report was brought up front the Cotri mittee appointed to decide on the merits of the Essays " on the state, character, and manners' of " the Highlanders," written by the candidates for the prize of twenty guineas and the thedal offered by the Corporation for the best Essay on that subject. It appeared that the Committee had adjudged the prize to the writer of the Essay signed I. G. L. ; and had also reported that the unsuccessful Essays were highly creditable to the talents of the writers, upon which the thanks of the Meeting were voted to them. The Election of the Officers for the ensuing year then took place, when it appeared that Ilis Royal Highness. the Duke of YORK and ALB . tNY had accepted.• the office of President, and had . expressedhisintention of honouring the next Meeting of the Society, on the 21st March, the Anniversary of the battle of Alexandria, with his presence.—The other Of ficers elected were, VICE-PRESIDENTS.

During the dinner, Mr. CLARK, one of the Society's Pipers, conti nued playing favourite pibrochs, according to ancient custom ; and after the cloth was re moved, The King—the Duke of York, and the Royal Family—and many loyal as well as na tional toasts and sentiments were given in Gaelic, and Mr. Govv, with his band, and Mr. CLARK, alternately enlivened the company withtnative airs and pibrochs, the simple and beautiful me lody of which seemed to recal most forcibly the recollection of that wild and romantic country, which is ever the object of the Highlander's most enthusiastic attachment. JOHN M•GREcon, the other Piper, is engaged, it appears, in collecting pibrochs in the highlands for the use of the So ciety. The utmost hilarity and harmony pre vailed throughout the evening, and the company did not separate till a late hour. We regret that our limits preclude our adding the names of the Members present, all of whom appeared in the Highland costume. VENTRILOQUIST.--A most extraordinary Per former of this description has, it seems, recently arrived in this country. His name is ALEXANDRE, and it is said that he has acquired great fame on the Continent. He is, we believe, a Frenchman. He appears to be a respectable young man by the testimonies in his favour from many distin guished characters in most of the Courts of Europe. Own FUND.—An excellent Concert, sup ported by the Leaders of the Vocal Profession, was given at the English Opera-house on Friday, for the benefit of the Choral Fund. Some new performers made it the medium of their intro duction to the public, among whom we noticed with pleasure a Miss VENES, who sang the fine solemn air of " What though I trace," from HANDEL'S Oratorio of Solomon, with much de licacy and very just expression, and was en cored. Mr. KEr.LNER also made his first appear ance, after an absence of five years in Italy. A NEW Roscrus.—The following notice ap pears in a New York Paper :—After Mr. KEAN'S benefit, a young boy of only NINE years of age, MaSterGEORGE FREDERICK SMITH, makes his de but before a New York audience in the character of Young Norval. lie has sustained the first line in tragedy previous to the burning of the Montreal theatre in Canada. His performance of Romeo, Octavian, and Richard the Third attracted full houses. The Montreal Papers consider him at least equal to Master BETTY, who performed at fourteen years of age on the London boards. No doubt the novelty at least will attract crowded houses. The Woburn Theatre, a few days ago, had in its boxes to the performance of Laugh when you Can, and Frightened to Death, the Duke and Duchess Of BEDFORD, the Duke of LEINsTER, Lord AUCKLAND, Lord EnaiNGToN, Lord RUS SELL, and the lion. J. and Miss RUSSELL. SUICIDE.—A woman, apparently about forty years of age, was found last night hanging in a saw-pit, in the Savoy. It is supposed that dis tress brought her to this desperate relief, as she had several pawnbrokers' duplicates and only one farthing in her pocket. She was off,•red halfpence in the afternoon, but refused them, and wandered about till she committed the rash act. I'OETRT: • LINES, • • oN atrz.

Lord CHATHAM had great knowledge of the characters of men, and could apply himself with great dexterity even to their FOIBLES, when proper occasions demanded it. When he was rather forced upon KING GEORGE the Second as his Minister, by the unanimous voice of the people, he found it necessary to recover the KING'S temper by some little exterior mark of respect. An occasion soon 'presented itself, which was to bring his MAJESTY the news of a victory. His Lordship, however, was so ill of the gout, that when he was led to the closet-door he could not stand. The KING, seeing this, called for a stool.—" No, Sire," says Mr. PITT, "it is not my duty to sit in your presence ; but though I can't stand, I can kneel ;" and in that position read his dispatches.—The KING was so pleased with the manner of his behaviour, and the news, that he spoke ever afterwards of Mr. PITT with great friendship. His general phrase was, " I like that PlTT—hes an honest man—l understand all he says." Mr. PITT'S acquaintance with the late Lord CAMDEN arose through the recommendation of Lord NORTIIINGTON. Mr. PITT, when Secretary of State, spoke to Lord N. to get him a young man of sound knowledge in the law, whose prac tice was not very extensive, and he would make his occasional attendance at the office worth his. while • " For," says he, " I want a person of LEGAL knowledge about me, that we should at least act CONSTITUTIONALLY..--,LOrd N. recommended Mr. PRATT, and the congeniality of their minds afterward' produced a friendship which brought * Mr. PRATT to the honours he so justly enjoyed, which still continues with un abated affection in the two families. Though Mr. PITT was so much employed in the great designs of his administration, he nevertheless attended to the minutim of office as much as possibly in his power. He kept up a regular correspondence with all the Ambassadors, Envoys, &c. in his department, and encouraged or reproved them as they deserved. 'An Envoy from one of the German Courts coming home on leave of ab sence, went to pay his official visit to Mr. PITT. After some little conversation, Mr. PITT turned to the office book, and said, " How comes it, Mr. that you have been so bad a correspondent of late ?—" Why, really Sir," says the other, " we were all so STILL and QUIET, that I had no news worth while sending you." "Sir," says the other gravely, "that is the very reason you ought to write—it was necessary for ME to know all was still and quiet as well as YOU—Let this conduct be mended."

The gallant veteran Ad miral, Sir HENRY TROLLOPE, K. C. B. has been unanimously chosen to preside on the occasion. The brig Guadaloui e, of Greenock, from Ja maica, was, at five o'clock in the morning of the 3d instant, dashed to pieces. on the west side of the Island of Coll. A part of the cargo is saved, consisting of rum and cotton. The Cap tain died at sea abOut twenty days before : the crew had'lived fourteen days on sugar and rum, having nothing else to subsist on. Four of the crew were drowned, together with a Lieutenant of the 92d Regiment, or Gordon Ilighlancers, also a woman, and an infant born three claY,s previous to the wreck of the vessel. The first and second mates. with two of the crew. are saved. i`ATAL DUEL: •- A duel, attended-with dan.'erotis tritisequences; took place on .Friday night in a field between -Chalk• Farm .Tavern and Prirnroi'e Hill. The -parties in this. unhappy •conflict, Were ; , S.co - rT, the avowed . Editor of The London Ma-: gazine, and Mr. CHRISTIE; a friend Of the surL posed . Condtictor of Blackwood's' Magazine—Mr. J. G. Lockhart,. of - Edinburglt • The original: cause of - quarrel between these Gentlemen we understand; - had its rise in a series of three arti cles which appeared in The London Magazine, disCUsSing the conduct and management of 1 1 / a ck ,. wood's. Magazine; and regarded by Mr: Lockhart . as offensive to his •feelings; and injurious to his honour. Mr: Christie, as., the friend of Mr. Lockhart,' waited . tipon Mr. Scott, to demand an explanation of the articles in question; and in fact '-td require a public apology for matter which he •ctinsidered personally offensive tO himself, or such - other sdtisfaction its a Gentleman was enti tled to. This interview led to otherS, as well as tO a correspondence, in *MCI [Mich of mutual warmth was expressed. Td- : prevent misappre- - henSion of what had occurred, Mr. Scott lAA= lislied his statement of the transaction's to which he had been a party, which were Very generally circulated in the literary world, as Well as copied intd some of the daily Papers: This was fei/ loWed by a statement on the part of Mr. Christie; the friend of . Mr. Lockhatt,'which was followed 14 a second statement from the pen Of. Mr. Scott; in which he treated the conduct of Mr. Lockhart with great asperity; and defended the course which he had pursued with considerable Warmth: Then followed a counter-statement froM Mr. Christie, which; we lament to sat, led to the event we are abotit to describe. In this counter; statement, we understand, Mr. Christie applied, as from himself, some offensive - 'epithets to Scott. Ile; in consequence, proceeded; with his . friend (Mr. Patmore) to Mr: C.'s lodgings, and deniatided an apology, or instant Satisfaction.. Mr. C. refused the former, and expressed his rea diness, without loss of time, td grant the latter. The matter having come to this issue, it was agreed that they should meet, With as little delay as possible, at Chalk Farm ; and thither they pro ceeded at 9 o'clock the same night. Mr. Scott was attended by his friend, Mr. Patmore; and Mr. Pettigrew; a Medical Gentleman, of Spring-gar dens. The moon shone with brightness; So that the parties had fUll opportunity Of seeing each other,and,having taken grouud,they fired tdgether; Mr. Scott received his antagonist's ball in his groin, and fell. Every assistance which the cir.: cumstances would permit was afforded him, and he was conveyed on a shutter to Chalk Farm Tavern, where he was laid on a bed. Mr. Christie and his second then retired, and taking their seats in the post , chaise in Which they had come, sought their own safety in flight. Mr. Pet tigrew, after having rendered all the assistance in his power to Mr. Scott, returned to town, in order to procure further surgical assistance, and to give directions that Mr. Scott's apartments at Mr. Botte's in. York-street, should be prepared' for his reception, Mr. Scott having expressed a desire that he should be removed home. A short time after Mr. Pettigrew's-departure, however; it was found that Mr. Scott could not be removed with safety, and Mrs. Scott and her father, Mr. Colnaghi, of Cockspur-street, were sent for.-- Mrs. Scott, whO had spent the day at her father's house, and from whom Mr. S. had parted at seven o'clock, saying, he was going to dine with a friend in the Temple, instantly set off with her father, in a post-chaise, to her husband's bedside, where she remained the rest of the night. On exam- nation, it appeared that the ball had passed the intestines, and lodged at the opposite side, where it was distinctly felt. The Surgeons in attend ance, however, deemed it prudent not td extract it, lest any additional inflammation should be ex cited, and the danger which was considered im minent, be thereby enhanced. On SatUrday Mr. Scott was copiously • bled. The bleeding pro duced a beneficial effect, and in a few hours the inflammation subsided considerably. Late on Saturday evening the Doctors Bree,' Guthrie, and Brooks, had a consultation' as to the pro priety of attempting to extract the ball, and it was agreed to postpone the operation until yesterday morning. Mr. S. continued to improve during . the night, and yesterday morning the ball was extracted. He bore the painful operation with much firmness, and there was - a gradual improve ment visible in him throughout the day. At Six o'clock yt sterday evening- he -was so much better that his medical attendants -entertained strong . hopes of his recovery. Mrs: Scott has.scarcely moved from the bedside of her husband since her arrival on Friday evening.--L-(.Ledger.) Upon inquiry at a late hour last night, we were happy to learn that favourable symptoms had made their appearance—the ball had.been extracted. Mr. Scott : was ; .- of course, in a very weak state. Dr. Darling and two other medical gentlemen were in attendance.--(Press.) Yesterday morning, the Chapel, belonging to the establishment, at Hylton Ferry, near Sun derland, erected and endowed at•the sole ex pense of T. J. MALING 7 Esq. Captain of the Royal Navy, was solemnly consecrated by the Lord Bishop of St. David's, attended by the Rev. Robert Gray, D.D. Rector of Bishopwearmouth, the Rev. James Baker, M. A. Chancellor of the diocese, T. J. Maling, Esq. and the Rev. George Stephenson, M. A.aud several of the neigh bouring Clergy and Gentry. This Chapel was li censed in the year 1817, and Divine Service has been regularly performed in it since that time ; but in consequence of a grant of 5001. made by the Society forenlarging and building churches and chapels, towards purchasing a number of free seats in the chapel, for the use of the poor inhabitants of Hylton and its vicinity, the proprietor resolved to procure for it, and for the burial r groun& attached, episcopal consecration. Upon this occasion, a very impressive and appro priate sermon was preached by the Rev. Robert Gray, M.A. Rector of ,Sunderland, from Gene sis, c. 28, v. 17, " This is none other than the house of God, and this the gate of liemen. - - ( Durham Adoertiser,
