CREMORNE PRIVATE FETES.—We understand
that twoorivate fetes are to be given at Cremorne Gardens
on Thursday, the 18th, and Wednesday, the 24th inst., in
aid of the Distressed Spitalfields Weavers and the Spital-
fields Emigration Fund, admission to which is to be ob-
tained by vouchers from the ladies patronesses, of whom
there is a long and brilliant list. With the first of these
entertainments is to be combined a juvenile fete, com-
mencing and terminating at an early hour for the younger
members,of the families of the nobility and gentry, the
tickets for which must also bc obtained through vouchers
from the ladies patronesses. We trust that the funds may
be greatly benefited through the exertions of the distin-
guished party who have so kindly expressed their intention
of patronising the entertainments.—Era.

THE STAR OF THE EAST.—An inquiry at the in-
stance of the Board of Trade was commenced yesterday at
Liverpool, before Mr. T. S. Raffles, the stipendiary magis-
trate, and Captain Harris, R.N., into the circumstances
connected with the ship Star of the East. The inquiry was
conducted by Mr. Tyndale, solicitor to the Board of Inland
Revenue, and the ship was owned by Mr. James Beazley,
of Liverpool. From the opening of the case it appeared that
the Star of the East had been for some time employed in
trading between Bombay and Calcutta, and sailed from the
latter port for Liverpool on the 15th February last laden
with a general cargo, consisting of cotton, pepper, &a. It
was further stated that the vessel was well found in stores
and rigging, the latter being new. On the evening of the
9th April, while in Struy's Bay, near the Cape of Good
Rope, with a stiffish head wind blowing, she missed stays,
and struck near Buffel's Fontein. The concussion was so
severe as to knock a hole in her bettors, and a heavy sea
dashing over her, she had 15 feet of water in her, and before
2 o'clock in the morning the crew were forced to abandon
the vessel, which in three cloys completely broke up. The
Ship and cargo were estimated as worth £40,000. Evidence
as to the facts was entered into, and the court adjourned.
CANNING AND GLADSTONE.—At the critical time
14 1822, we were so near losing Canning from his proper
place, that nothing but the fitness of things could have kept
him here. He had bidden good-bye to his friends gene-
rally, and had everything ready for going to India. Many
grieved that he should go where his special gifts would
be half wasted. Some of us may remember how we
read in the daily papers of his last movements, as we had
before read his last words in Parliament. We read
that he was at Liverpool, among his obi constituents,—
staying at his friend Gladstone's. There he was, indeed,
—sitting one day for hours at his chamber-window,
looking over the sea. There was a little boy playing
on the strand that day; and perhaps he glanced up at
the window, and may remember the face that looked
out there. That little boy was the Mr. Gladstone of
our day. Mr. Canning was pondering some news
-which was on the way to the King in Scotland. Lord
Londonderry had destroyed himself; and there might now
be an opening for changing the political aspect of all Europe.
Re did not know—nobody knew what would be done next.
The King dreaded above every I bins the necessity of accept-
ing
his
Canning as a member of the Cabinet: Canning told
Liverpool friends, when the news was in all mouth., that he
had no knowledge whatever "of any arrangements likely t,n,
grow out of the present state of things." There was no other
however, the Liverpool people said; and they were con-
fident., he would not go to India. The unprogressive poli •
'einns about the King put off to the last moment their
invitation 6 Canning. It was on the 12th of August
that Lord Londonderry died, and it was on the 11th
S3ptember that Mr. Canning became Foreign Sec-
retary, He had then only five years to lire; but, instead
o going to India,—the India of the old company,—he did
.saying
things at home that his son is now in India,
ofrl2,e Ying that Empire through its transition from the rule
tCoetn Copany to an immediate dependence on the, Crown
and Parliament,--a piece of progression which was not at
that ia
tim
ntemplated,—Ono 4 Week.
