TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

DUBLIN, OCTOIIIt
14 As none of the Readers of your refpedable Print
can be infenfible to the deCent caution with which
you receive information, as well as the impartiality
with which you detail events, I am confident you
will lend your afiGilance to correct a very injurious
znifreprefentation of the Rate of this country, which
lately appeared in fume of the London Papers. In
Os* form of a Letter from Dublin, it was flared that
a formidable confpiracy was again difcovered, and
30h000 rebels organized in the neighbourhood of
Carlow and Leighlin-bridge; that Government was
in pollefGon of die fads, and prepared to defeat the
attempts of inforredion. That Government is pre-
pared to meet and crufh infurredion I have no doubt,
but I equally believe that in this intlance its know-
ledge and its adinn were falfely anticipated. The
Editor of the London Print, in which the article
firlf appeared, very properly doubted the veracity of
his Correfpondent, but lie would have ailed properly
bad he utterly excluded from his paper a communi-
cation of fuel a nature; and which, I fuppofe, was
anonimous. Ido afore you, Sir. that notwithiand-
ink fame perfons were fince taken up hi the neigh-
bourhood of CadoW and Leighlin-bridge, there is
good reafon to believe the exiftence of the confpiracy
a mere fabrication. and that the perform In cuflody
will be found blamelrfs. It is deeply to be lamented
that knavery and falfchnod fhould have the remoteß
power to interrupt the happy and rapid pregreh of
the frills mind in its return to mutual confidence,
loyalty, and peace'. &fides the *rang done to the
individual, much is fuffered by the country. Inter.
sal and external alarm is excited ; our commercial
credit is injured ; and our foreign enemies are en-
couraged to affail a part of the Empire thus defcrib-
eel to be fo vulnerable. I expect the ST*l will ren-
der us juflice, and counteract the influences of still
AA Catholic Meeting was held In this City on Sa-
turday lag, Earl FINGAL!. in the Chair. It was but
poorly attended ; fur, in truth, it is only the ariflo-
crazy of the fed that are ar xious about the conititu-
thingl feathers that yet remain to deck their body.—
They are to have anothkr meeting on Saturday next,
and I fuppofe their interefls will be difcaffed in Par;
liament this coming Scfflon. I with them, for my
part, to have all that remains to be given them, and
therefore I with they may place themfelves in good
Parliament hands, and not leek their Object through
the of llance of faElious, agita'ing demagogues.—
They fhould cultivate, on this occafion, the Kiwc's
friends, for they have experienced largely of the
Zinc's favour."

Arrived Etfe from Calcutta, in Bruton-Brett, in
perfeft health, on Saturday tall, Lady Rusin., with
her two children.

Extra& of a letter from Malta, dated September t 9.
Mr. Local, who was Minilttr at Naples, and
who came out here a few months ago on his way to
Egypt, where he was appointed Conful-General, and
alio in the Mediterranean, died on the ttthof the

month, as well as one of his fervants ; and the other
is now dangeroufly ill in quarantine, where all of
them were landed from his Majelty's fhip Alston,
from Smyrna. It is fuppored that his death pro-
ceeded from a bad fever. which was occafioned by
cxceffive fatigue in vifiting the plains of Troy ; the
fever had entirely left diem when they were landed,
but they had fuch a debility left on them, they never
recovered, and Mr. Loco. died without {peaking a
-word after he was landed, which was about ten days.
Mr. Errs, who was the friend and medical atten-
dant to Mr. Locos, is now performing quarantine.
The garrifon and inhabitants continue healthy."

The murderer of Mr. Sract.e,on Hounflow Heath.
about two years fince, has at length been dircovered ;
he proves to be a Cottager, at Oatlands, near Chert-
fey, in whole hook(. upon an alarm of fire, a pair of
boots Rained with blood were found, and Mr.
STICLeS name written within them. The man was
abfent when the fire happened, but on his return he
anxioufly enquired for the boots, and fwore he would
cut his wife's throat if fhe did not inßantly tell
Dim where they were. He has been delivered over

After all the pains and care taken by the htagif-
trates, the netarious praCtice of throwinr firtibs and
crackers in the flreets was as prevalent fait night as
ever. A numbcr of accidents occurred :--among
others, two boys, who belonged to the parifh lchool
of St. Andrew's, Holborn, having gotten together a
quantity of gunpowder, and being at play with it
dole together, it caught fire, exploded, and literally
►lew both their eyes out, and much lacerated their
faces. They were both font in this dreadful Rate to
St. Bartholomew's Hof-pita'. Another boy was molt
ferioufly burnt in Blackmore.fireet, Clare Market ;
and a fourth, in Ruffen-court, had his eyes, face, and
the fide of his head, dreadfully burnt.

Ye:ln-Jay morning a ferinus affray took place in
Blue Anchor yard, Whitechapcl, in confequence of
the pardh officers going to the place with a fficll, to

would not (offer the cnrpfe to be buried in the poor'.
burial ground, withing it to be interred more decently,
as her hull,and had made a collation iunemgft them
to the amount oft 21. for that purpofe, with which he

o:licers were tent for, who, with much difficulty,
relieved order, and the delund was carried to the
workhoufe for interment.

A fingul.tr occurrence happened WI week at
Hay's livery-flahle., Whitecliapel. A poor aged
man, who has long been noticed about that neigh-
bourhood as an idiot. had been permitted from mo-
tives of charity to fleep in the hay loft, where he
made himielf a rude besitlead of boards, and adorned
the head of it with old ballads and prints. At his
