STEAM BOATS.

Mr. DENISON presented a petition from Lightermen
owning craft to the amount of 20,000 tons, praying that the
bill now in the house for the regulation of Steam-boats in
the River Thames, might pass into a law.
Mr. R WART wished to ask whether it was the inten-
tion of government to introduce any WARM respecting the
regulation or other weanb.hoats, so as to prevent the recur-
rence of such a melancholy catastrophe as had lately hap-
pened in the case of the Hearsay Castle?
Mr. LA MB said, that with respect to the intentions of the
government as to introducing any measure for the general
regulation of steam-boats, he was not at present prepared to
give any definite answer. He certainly thought, as an indi-
vidual, that it was de•irable some regulations should be in-
troduced such as the late unhappy event had shewn to be
necessary. The fact. however, was, that there was an act
upon the subject ptssed in the 4th year of the late king, but
he did not know enough of it to say whether its provisions
were sufficient for the object now required. He should cer-
tainly direct his earnest attention to the subject, and though
he could not fledge himself that any measure would be in-
troduced, lie had again no hesitation in saying that he
thought some regulations would be beneficial.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he had been
entrusted with a petition (we believe from Nottingham)
against the delay the reform bill had experienced. but ne
should refrain from laying it before the house at present.

CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE.

The following letter appe— 1.7177—red a morning paper of Sa-
turday :—" I see in a wait lately published by Mr. Its.
Wilson of his Travels in the Holy Land, Egypt, &c. he
alludes to the horizontal needle of Cleopatra at Alexandria,
which had many years ago been presented by the Pasha to
England, and censures the late administration for its negli.
gence in not bringing it to this country; adding, he had
lately received intelligence from Alexandria, that in coast-
quence of it being thus neglected, the pedestal had been 1
barbarously broken in pieces, and removod as materials to
repair the harbour; that the column might also be sacrificed'
in this manner, and the tablet which had been placed under
it by the British army with an inscription of their valour on
the spot, had come to light. Having lately been in Egypt,
lam enabled to confirm Mr. Wilson's statement, and ex-
press my sorrow with all travellers that this noble object
should have been so very long neglected. I may add, that
the tablet has been secured by the British Consul, and now
under his roof; and further, that the French, who were
complimented with the other column, in an upright poai.
tion, have not followed our lazy example, but are using
quick work in taking ,it down, and a vessel is expected to
arrive there daily to convey It to France, as it is intended to
set it up in the capital. Now I should be glad to know
what measures have peen adopted by our present enlightened
Government to bring this stupendous and unrivalled trophy
to this country, and should it be erected in London, it would
be calculated to keep alive that effectual blow which was
given by the English army to the ambition of Napoleon.—
unquestionably, it would have been more to the honour of the
late Government in advancing a small sum to convey this
mighty obelisk to Britain, to which it belongs, than lavish-
ing thousands on useless buildings, and palaces, and gew-
gaws, which must ever remain monuments of their folly and
extravagance, and excite the ridicule of every one who be.
holds them. If the Government does not see the expedi.
ency of turning their attention to conveying the needle in-
stantly to England, I trust some of our spirited members
in the senate will bring this subject forward. The thing is
no trifle, but is of the deepest importance to the British
army and navy, whose blood has been shed on the spot, as
well as to those who value their important services in the
land of Egypt."

TIRES IN THR COUNTRY.

Mr. BLAMIRE presented a petition trom Workington,
against the duty on insurances.
Sir E. B. SUGDEN took occasion to advert to the fires
in the country, and especially to some in the county of Cam.
bridge, that must be attributed to the worst motives. He
hoptd that before the nights became long, some measure
would be devised for the detection of offenders, and fur the
prevention of the crime. He did not mean to charge minis.
tens with any supineness, but their attention ought to be
strongly called to the subject.
Lord ALT HORP said that government bad devoted much
attention to the question, and that a measure was under con-
sideration for the more effectual protection of property (hear.)
Mr. CIWKER observed, that no stronger protection
could he given than for it to be known that the government
would be unanimously and strenuously supported by parlia-
ment, and that men of all parties lost their shades of differ.
ence in the desire to abolish a diabolical and unnational
practice, which had already disgraced, afflicted, and even
endangered the whole frame of society.

Noble and gentle mamma, patmos, and Mende,
Before you bere a van'rous women bends.—
A warrior woman, who in strife emberb—
The first of all dramatic Joan of Ares
Cheer on the enterprise thus dared by me—
The first that ever led a Company.
What though, until this very hour and age,
A Lessee Lady never owed a stage—
I am that Balk Sassape—ooly rather quieter—
Like Mrs. Nelson, turn'd a Stagmpeoprietor.
Welcome each early and each late onion !
This is my Omnibus, and the driver.
In this my purpose stand I not alone—
All women sigh for houses not their own ;
And I was weary of perpetual dodging,
From house to house, in search of board and lodging.
Faint was my hart; but, with Pandora's se
I find in every Bea a lurking hope.
My daneng epirim know of no decline;
Hess's the Ira Tier you ever saw of mine.
Safe is my venture, for all honest folk.
Who love a tune, or can enjoy a joke,
Will learn, wheaten they have an hour of leisure,
Wych-strest is beat to tome to for their pleasure.
The laughter and the lamps, with equal share,
Shall nab this house a light-houn against are.
This is your home—lb your's as well es mine ;
Hen Joy may pay her homage at Mirth's shrine ;
Humour and Wit encourage my intent,
And Music means to help to pay the rent.
If my kind friends befriend me now, as you
Have in by-gone times been wont to do,
Maks me your ward against each ill designer,
And prove Lord Chancellors to a fawn Stigler.
Chen sa my comrades, too, in their agamar—
Some dynes favourites are around me here;—
Give them, give me, the smile of approbation
In thie Olympic game of speculation ;
Still aid the
Petticoat on old kind principles,
And make me yet a Captain of Invincible..

and family were.
Mr. Astell declared, that as the prisoner had formerly assaulted him,
and been convicted and held to bail. he now learned, for the first time,
that he had been allowed to go at large on his own recognisances. Mr.
Astell denied in tote the allegations of the prisoner.
The latter said he could have no modes to assault IL Ada now, as
his case was taken out of his hands; besides, he went out of office in
April, and he might as well attack all the Directors.
He was eventually held to bail, and Mr. Astell intends to exhibit ar.
, tides of the peace against him.

POLICE REPORTS.

THE BRITISH EMPIRE.

PANORAMA OF

The following arrangement will henceforward be con-
tinued in the STAR, and it will combine the interests of the
united kingdom in one focus. Public attention is invited
in this manner, and a separate arrangement adopted, in the
confidence that so useful a feature will recommend this
Journal to preference in every place where a daily evening
paper is read. In all the colonies, and in all countries where
Englishmen reside, this NEWS FROM HOME will confer
peculiar interest on the STAR. The circle of every six days'
STAR will present a complete picture of the kingdom.
As an integral part of this Panorama of the Empire, the
Conductors of the STAR earnestly invite original communica-
tions of facts, authenticated to the Conductors, by the names
of the writers. At this interesting crisis, they especially
invite information relative to the real state of the country—
and the actual remuneration of the productive classes, both
in agriculture and manufactures—and they will be happy
to record instances of the lowering of rents—of modifica-
tions of tytbes, and increase of pay ; specifying
the rates and amounts—and in particular, they desire
• to be apprized of all cases in which parochial allowances, and
the comforts of poor-houses and parish cottages have been
increased. They wish to see the Press instrumental at once
in making real grievances known, and in doing justice to
all acts of concession and liberality. For means of doing
their duty, the Conductors of the STAR appeal, therefore,
to the public spirit of their Readers in every part of the
empire.
Editors of papers, desirous of being quoted in the STAR,
are requested to transmit them ; and, in our daily references,
the strictest impartiality shall be observed between conflict-
' ing interests.

LORD BYRON.

DION Show's LYTTEite.—" I have had a curious letter taday
from a girl in England (I never saw her who says she is given over of
a decline, but could not go out of the world without thanking me for
the delight which my poesy for several yeah, &e. dew Ake. It is
signed simply N. N. A. and has certainly nut a word of " cant"
or preachment in it upon any opinions. She merely says that she is
dying, and that as I had contributed so highly to her existing
planet, she thought that she might say so, begging me to burn
beriletter, which, by the way, I can not do, as I look upon such a
letter, in such drcumstances, as better than a diploma from Gottingen.
I once had a letter from Dronthelm, in Norway (but not from a dying
woman), in verse, on the same score of gratulation. These are the
things which make one at times believe oneself a poet. But if I must
believe that , and such fellows, are poets also, it is better
to be out of the corps "

CORONATION EXPENDITURE.

Mr. JAMES said he had a question to put regarding the
coronation. (Hear, hear.) He wished to know in what
manner the 50,0001. was to be appropriated ; he had seen
from the accounts of the last coronation, that B,OOOL had
been expended on snuff-boxes to Foreign Ambassadors; and
that 24,11001. had been expended on a cloak for his Majesty.
Now, he was of opinion that 241. was a sufficient sum to
expend for a cloak to be worn by his Majesty on that day.
(Cries of " Hear, hear," "oh, oh," coughing, and an un.
common description of sounds resembling what would be
by some designated a horse laugh.)
The confusion of sounds so generally uttered compelled the
hon. gentleman to resume his seat, and the hon. SPEAKER
PCI him right as to a point of order.
Mr. JA MF.S resumed, but was immediately assailed as
before. He complained that hon. members should be under
the necessity of remaining in the house until all hours of the
morning, and yet that the house would not permit him to
put a single question on a subject of so much importance.—
The noise was again resumed, mixed with cries of " Ques-
tion, question ;" and the hon. member, apparently despairing
of obtaining a hearing, eat down.
Lord AL'rHORP said he had no difficulty in giving a
general answer, which, he hoped, would satisfy the hon.
gentleman. Every attention had been paid to economy in
the arrangements. The estimates for the last coronation
had been 240,0001. the estimates for the forthcoming cow.
nation did not exceed hO,OOOl. (Cheers.)
Mr. HUNT rose and said he had a remark to make; he
had observed one part of the arrangements was that the hon.
members of the Commons were to be provided with Court
liveries—he wished to know whether they were to be de-
frayed at the public expence ot not; if they were he would
object to it, as he thought that hon. membees should defray
the expence of their own liveries. (We did not bear the an.
mir returned, but we understood the hon. member to be
informed that hon. members were to defray the expenses of
their own dresses.]

advertisements.

So much for the direct way in which the pro-
posed reduced scale of newspaper duties would
benefit the revenue. Indirectly the measure would
be greatly advantageous to the Exchequer. The
impetus which would be given to every branch of
trade and commerce, from this extensive system
of advertising, would be incredibly great ; and as
almost every article we purchase is more or less
taxed, the additional consumption or use of these
taxed articles would be a proportionable source of
revenue to Government.
An increase in the revenue is indeed so mani-
fest, a consequence of the arrangements in ques-
tion, that we are certain our contemporaries will
have no objections to government recurring to the
present regime, should it be found, after a trial of
two years, that the revenue had suffered from the
alteration.

Let us then most urgently press on our contem- 1
poraries the propriety of making an immediate
effort to obtain, this season, the modified system
of duties which Lord Althorp promised us last year.
We have a right to demand the redemption of a
pledge publicly, and deliberately, and repeatedly
made ; and if the question be only properly ' agi-
tated,' there can be no doubt of our success. The
matter is certainly one which bears in the first
instance on the private interests of the newspaper
press ; but it is, u we have 'hewn, one which also
most nearly concerns the public.
London, England, 1831-09-02

CORONATION.

Mr. WYNN presented a Report from the Committee ap-
pointed to make arrangements for the attendance of the
%lembers at the Coronation, which was read by the Clerk.
Mr. Alderman WOOD said as the Members were to
meet at eight O'clock in the morning, he wished to ask
whether breakfast would be provided ?--( A laugh.)
Mr. JAMES said the more he considered the vote of
50,0001.—(Order, order.)
The SPEAKER reminded the hon. *gcntleman that the
present report did not at all refer to the sum voted for the
coronation ; when the report on that vote was brought up,
the hon. gentleman would have an opportunity of making
any observations.
Mr. JAMES again attempted to speak on the subject of
expence; but was interrupted by the impatience of the
house.

Mr. HUME said the hon. gentleman would have the op-
portunity of making his observations when the report was
brought up. (Hear,_ hear.) He wished to know whether
there was any precedent for the recommendation by the Com-
mittee that the members should appear in court dresses--
that they should wear bag wigs and lace ruffles ? He really
thought it was mere trifling.
Lord MAHON asked had the Honourable Gentleman
ever attended a levee ; it was proper that when they ap-
peared in the presence of their Sovereign they should appear
in a Court dress, different from their ordinary dress.
Air. HU AIE said he would move the omission of that
part of the report which recommended their going in livery.
—(Oh, oh !) He supposed they would soon come to wear
a livery. like Bonaparte's courtiers.
Mr. WYNN said the Committee thought it was proper
to appear in Court dress at the Coronation of the Sove-
reign.
Lord A LTIIORP said no one could go to the Coro.
nation in any other than a Court d,,,,, befitting the oc-
casion.

Sir C. WETHERELL reminded Mr. Hume that he was
no longer member for Montrose ; but was now a knight of
the shire, and should appear girded with a sword, and per.
baps should wear a pair of spurs. ( A laugh.)
Mr. JAMES asked, as seats were provided for 410, how
were the rest of the members to be provided for ?
Lord ALT HORP said, 410 would be an ample number
to witness the Coronation, and it was not likely that &greater
number would attend.

The report was agreed to.
WINE DUTIES.

On the order of the day being read that the house go into
Committee on the Reform Bill. _

Lord AL r DORY, in answer to a question from Mr.
Keith Douglas, stated, that with regard to the bill for the
alteration of the wine duties, it was not his intention to press
fur the clause which was to make the duty on Cape wine
equal to Foreign wine in the year 1834; he would content
wilt making the duty 2t,„ 9d per gallon in the pre.
sent hill ; he would enjoin any future government to make
the alteration in 1834.

THE NAVY 4111'D SHIPPING.

DEAL, SEPT. I.—The Talavera and Wellesley,
of 74 guns, having on board the 89th regiment, have sailed
this day for Plymouth with a fine breeze from the N.H.
The embarkation of the troops was not effected last night,
the Talavera having only received on board her number:
the remainder came this morning from Ramsgate by the,
steamer, and were put on board the Wellesley, so that it
appears these men remained all night at Ramsgate, and I
understand were not very conveniently accommodated. It
was a matter of surprise to many who have witnessed the
embarkation of troops last war, by the able management of
our Deal boatmen, that the 89th were not ordered to Deal,
instead of Ramsgate, as in that case the whole of the men
might have been conveyed en board their respective ships
in two hours, or less ; and that suet trnee of transporting
them would at all times be found to be the most expeditious,
as well as safe conveyance ; and on the score of expense by
rewarding the boatmen for their trouble, at the rate of one
shilling per head, would turn out to be a saving; and by
the employment thus afforded, the boatmen would have
been a little relief to their families, pl cal under such trying
circumstances as they now are-

SUNDAY AT SEA.

Written by the Right Rev. Dr. Totems', Load Wily of Calcutta,
when on board H. N. S. Pallas, Captain Fit=lama, on her Voyage
"out to India.
Bounding along the obedient surges
Cheerily in her onward way
Her course the gallant vessel urges
O'erthy stormy gulpb, Biscay .
In the sun the bright waves glistso, •
Rising slow with measured swell, •
Hark! what sounds unwonted! listen!
Listen ! 'tis the Sabbath Bell.
Hushed the tempest's fierce commotion,
Winds and waves have ceased their war,
O'er the wide and pail ocean
That shrill wand is beard afar.
Comes it as $ note at gladness
To thy dred spirit ? Wanderer tell !
Or rather doth thy heart's deep sadness
Wake at that simple Sabbath Bell ?
It speaks of ties which duties sever,
Of hearts so fondly knit to thee,
Kind hands, kind looks, which, wand's, never
Thy band shall grasp, thy eye shall see. •
It speaks of love and all Its pleasures,
Of scenes where memory loves to dwell,
And bids thee count thy heart's best treasure a
Far, far away ;—that Sabbath Bell.
Listen again, thy wounded spirit
Shall war from earth, and 'seek above
That kingdom which the blest Inherit.—
The mansions of eternal love.
Rath and its lowly cares forsaking
Cherished too keenly, loved too well,
In hope and faith thy soul awaking,
Thou hear'st with joy the Sabbath Hell.
