THE ICING

We. regret that we are linable to announce any im-
provement in the state of his MAJESTY. Private ad-
vice& are in no respect more favourable than the very
equivocal official communications. The Duke of Curt -
BERL A W I) arrived at the Palace about twelve o'clock yes-
terday, on a visit to the KING, and had an interview wki.
his MAJESTY. The Royal Duke remained upwards of
four hours at the Palace. The Earl of ABERDEEN carne
to the Palace yesterday morning, and had an audience of
the Kiwo. Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY and Mr. BRODI E
returned to the Palaee on Thursday evening. Mr.Bitouie
took his departure yesterday morning, but returned, as
:Nual, in the evening. At the King's Palace, St.
Jones's, the Bulletin was ehew•n by the Earl of Ft ri:
Lord, and Mr. Here as Groom in Waiting, to the Nobi-
.ify and Gentry.

dry the 3d of June, when the subjects of Mathematics, French.

vet:dye, Sketching, Surveying, Equitation, &c. Between 54
And seventy Cadets passed on these occasions with more or Ins
ec'ag, in these various branches of knowledge, and received the usual
testimonials of their acquirements accordingly. The Comniissione+:

the year.

which her masts went, and she then disappeared. Our boats could
not get at her, from the heavy sea and strong tide, and fear the

The writer of a recent pamphlet, on the practicability
of paying off the National Debt, calls on the ladies t.)
abandon their routs and recreations, and thereby to make
up a " huge benevolence," by which means he proposes
to clear off the " eight hundred millions."
FATAL EFFECTS OF PRI Z E-F IG lIT IWO .—We
have to record another instance of the fatal effects of
the abominable system of prize-fighting—which, to
the eternal disgrace of the Legislature, has so long
been permitted. A great fight took place on Wed-
nesday last, near the village of Hanslope, in
Buckinghamshire, for 2001. a side, between Simo►:
Byrne, an Irishman, and Alexander Mackay, a Scotch-
man, which lasted nearly =boar. The latter, who lost the
fight, was most cruelly beaten. He received many heavy
blows about the left temple, and his face was so frightfully
cut and disfigured, that the features were lost in a con-
fused mass of gore and bruises. He was bled in the ring,
but was totally insensible. Two surgeons and his se-
conds for half an hour in vain attempted to restore ani-
mation ; the poor creature was at length borne from
the ground in a state of insensibility. A few of the
wretches constituting what is termed the " fancy," re-
mained in the neighbourhood until a late hour at night,
and they reported on their arrival in town that Mackay was
speechless at the time they left him. Since then intelli-
Igence has been received in London that Mackay expired
in the arms of Carter the pugilist, at 10 o'clock Thursday
night. Mackay was backed by Capt. Barclay, the Newmar-
ket pedestrian, and J. Harrison, Esq. of Buckinghamshire,
and seconded by Tom Cribb and George Cooper. The
seconds of Byrne were Tom Reynolds and Reuben Martin.
Several noblemen and gentlemen were on the ground during
the fight. Mr. Osbaldeston officiated as umpire, and Mr.
Jackson, the retired pugilist, superintended the arrange-
ments of the sport. The prize-fighters, as may be ex-
pected, are in a terrible state of alarm. The survivor
and the four seconds have absconded.

AN IRISH ROW.

James Connor and Mary, his wife, were indicted for
assaulting Hannah Devereux and her daughter.
The prosecutrix stated that she lived in Union-court,
Holborn. On the day named in the indictment she and
her daughter returned home, after being at the wake of
Tim Donovan. It was about seven o'clock in the morn-
ing. The defendants, who lived next door, came up and
beat her like a mad dog, and all for ;nothing at all, and
her eye was black until it got well again. (Laughter.)
Mr. C. Phillips—Had not you drunk some rum and
peppermint, fashionably called shot-silk ?
Witness.—Perhaps I did—sure one must drink some-
thing if one's at a wake all night !
Mr. Phillips.—And you commenced the row by break-
ing the panels of the defendants' door in ?
Witness.—Who broke my window ? answer me that.
This brick-bat will prove it. (The witness here pulled
out a large brick from under her apron.)
Mr. C. Phillips.—l think you had better hand that ex-
hibit to the officer of the Court until the trial is over.

Witness.—God bless the man ! What do you mane?
I'm not going to throw it at you. (Loud laughter.)
Mr. C. Phillips.—l know you have too much regard
for one of your countrymen ; but now tell me, did you
not say that if my clients would come down stairs, you
would make them jump Cork fashion ?
Witness.—Perhaps I did.
Mr. C. Phillips.—What did you mean by that ?
Witness.—You an Irishman, and not know what that
manes. I took you at first for Counsellor O'Connell, but
now I know you are not. He'd know what I mane asy
enough—(Roars of laughter.)
Mr. Phillips— Did not some one come to your assistance ?
Witness.—Yes; a jontleman.
Mr. C. Phillips.—Mr. Michael Devereux, your hus-
band ?

Witness.—Who tould you that ? Well, it was he, and
wane nt Mike the properest person to come ?
Mr. C. Phillips.—l understood he was in bed.
Witness.—What of that, sure he'd come when I called
him, wherever he was. He'd be a great baste if he did
not assist his lawful wife that's been married to him these
two and twenty years.
Mr. C. Phillips.—And by way of assisting you he broke
my client's head, I believe.
Witness.—lt's like he did.

The Recorder interterposed, and said that as both par-
ties were to blame, the better way would be to acquit the
defendants, which the Jury accordingly did.

It will be urged that the flow of gold out of Europe is
imaginary, and that if there be a demand for gold from
England, the tide soon returns and reduces all to the ori-
ginal level. I answer, granting this to be so, each
ebbing influences the quantity of Bank notes in circula-
tion, and alters consequently the value of things.
But I maintain there is a constant export of gold to
Eastern nations ; and that a great part of the industry in
these despotic Eastern nations, resolves itself ultimately
in concealed treasures in gold. The only means the
Eastern inhabitant has of preserving the fruits of his in-
dustry, and his life, is by concealing his wealth, and that
is most commodiously done in gold. Every inquiry I
have made among travellers in the East, confirms this
very natural result under Eastern despotism.
I have already extended this communication beyond
the length of a letter, and, as it is written in haste, to
reach you in time, I beg you will excuse any errors in
the composition. Wishing you success in your most
praiseworthy attempt to place the currency of the coun-
try on a secure basis, and to undo the mischief produced
by Mr. Huskisson's motion to restore the circulation of a
gold standard, as far as it now can he corrected, I hope
you will manfully maintain that he was the greatest in-
novator, next the Bank Restriction Bill, on our currency,
as he rushed into a system which never had a solid foun-
dation, and in the history of which he was ignorant.
I remain, with respect,
Sir, your very obedient servant,
G. L. MEASON.

MARLBOROUGH-STRE ET.

Notwithstanding the active exertions of the Police, neither of ti,..
persons (chimney sweeps) who committed the robbery in the hous,
of George Watson Taylor, Esq. M.P. have been apprehended.
'lobar! Draper, a young man very shabbily dressed, was yester-
day brought before the presiding Magistrate, J. E. Co WANT, Esq.
charged with violent conduct at Arthur's Club-house.
Thomasbewis, in the service of the Club, stated that on Thursday
evening the defendant posted himself at the door and importuned se-
veral gentlemen who went in and out. The witness went out and ex.
postulated with him, when the defendant exclaimed, " I've not taste.:
food for four.and-twenty hours, and if you dont give me somethin;
I'll shove my head through a pane of glass " The witness paid no
other attention to this menace than by cautioning the defender!
against the danger he would incur from such an experiment, and the
man immediately left the door, but on the arrival of the next cu:.
ter, he followed him into the middle of the passage, and on the gen•
tletnan's refusing to countenance hint, he carried his threat into exe-
cution, with the simple difference of running his hand instead of M.
bead through the window.
The prisoner declared that the door in shutting had run the gla‘,
against his hand, and he had no intention of breaking the glass.
Mr. COWANT said that he could not pay much attention to 11:-.
assertion, after he had threatened to break the glass. In conclusion,
the worthy Magistrate inquired the value of the pane.
Mr. Lewis replied it was either 21. be. or 21. 10s
Mr. Coxaier said that such conduct was really unbearable, and
committed him to the House of Correction fur a month.
At the Instance of the Society against Cruelty, the driver of a ear
was fined 10s. and costs, by M r. DIEI, for cruelty to a horse.

At the instance of the Society against Cruelty, two butchers wer •
fined in costs, by Mr. MARRIOTT, for cruelty to a sheep.

COLLEGE OF MA YNOOTII .—A petition has been
presented from the liberal and enlightened clergy of Lin-
coln, against the continuance of the grant of May nootli Col-
lege. The grounds upon which the petitionersare opposed
to the grant are, first, because " such a disposition of the
public money appears to them inconsistent with that
christian simplicity which should ever govern the con-
duct both of states and individuals"—and these pious
petitioners, with genuine christian simplicity, give. a:
their second reason for opposing the grant, that they are
taught by the articles of their church, and the word ;^.l.
Gon, that Popery is an anti-christian corruption of ti e
holy faith."

FRANCE.

(From the Messayer des Clientsbres, dated Sunday. Nov. 13.)
Yams, Nov. 12.—The Comrier de l'Ain says--We learn that many
Swiss soldiers, belonging to the regiments that have been disbanded,
are returning to France. Their number is so great, that it has excited
A4tonishment in Switzerland itself. Such an emigration ought to draw
the attention of the public force, and the municipal authorities are or-
dered to use the greatest vigilance. As these foreigners cannot enter
France without passports, signed by the Envoy of France in Switzer-
land, all those whose papers are not perfectly in order are to be arrested
and taken to the frontiers. His Majesty's brig Le Lesard, commanded
by Lieutenant Frimont, has arrived at Toulon, from Martinique and
Guildsloupe, whither it carried the news of the change in the Govern-
ment. The Lewd stopped only a few hours at each colony. It ar-
r.red under the white sag, and left there with the same, conformably
:o the orders it had received.

(From the Moviteur of Saturday, Nor. 13.)
P►ttts, Nov. 12.—The Government has received from the Go-
vernors of Martinique and Guadeloupe despatches. dated the 20th and
24th of September, which announce that the tricoloured flag had been
;foisted in the two colonies, conformably to the orders given by the de-
partment of the 3larine. The same Governors announced the receipt
and the publication of copies of the proms verbal of the Royal sitting
of the 9th of August, in which the united Chambers received the oath
taken by; his' Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans as King of the
French. At the date of these despatches Martinique and Guadeloupe
enjoyed perfect tranquillity.
From the Gazette de France of Nor. 13.
Cotes renTlNOrtx,.oet. 12.—1 t was thought. a little while ago, that
Count Guilleminut, the French Ambassador, would retire. but we can
positively affirm that lie intends to continue to exercise the same func-
tions. The last accounts fron► France have raised the spirits of the
French here, and have induced Count Guilleminot still to devote him-
.splf to the service of the state. Ile is now about to renew the negotia-
tions in favour of the Armenians, which were suspended at the news of
the till of Charles X. He is to be supported in this business by the
Ambassadors of the other Courts, and to act in concert with them.
it is inferred that France will use her Influence in favour of the Greeks.
However.it is said that the French troops in the Mores are recalled, and
that the new King is not inclined to continue the pecuniary assistance
ottich the elder branch of the Bourbons so liberally granted to the
tirecks."

.1 COMMON COUNCIL, holden at the MANSION-HOUSE
of the CITY of LONDON, on MONDAY, the 15th day of
November, 1830;
Remotes.,
THAT this Court, as the Representative Body of the
Citizens of London, having at various times expressed its opinion
cf the propriety and necessity of a revision of the present state of the
Representation of the Commons in Parliament, is called upon in an
especial manner, at the present moment (after the declaration of the
First Minister of the Crown, that the Representation is satisfactory to
the country), to make a renewed avowal of its conviction, that the
House of Commons, as at present constituted, is as far from being
satisfactory to the country, as it is frem being a real Representation of
the People. _ _

Resuivedr—That the power now exercised by various Peers, and
other interested persons, of returning a large portion of the Members,
is wholly incompatible with the true end and design of a House of
Commons; which in principle and in practice ought to be—a Repre-
sentation, not of private, but of general interests; an effectual control
upon taxation and the public expenditure; and the organ by which the
Commons of the Realm may fully exercise that share in the Legisla.
cure to which, by the Constitution, they are entitled.
Resolved,—That Petitions, founded upon these Resolutions, be
forthwith presented to both Houses of Parliament, praying them to
institute a full and faithful inquiry into the state of the Representation,
with a view to the remedying of such defects therein, as time and
various encroachments have produced, so as to give real effect to the
essential principles of the Constitution; namely, that Members of Par-
liament shall be freely chosen ; that Peers shall not interfere in sec-
tions ; and that in the House of Co/moons the King may with truth
be said to meet his people in Parliament.

• THEATRICAL SECRET.

Wass v. Da Boos.—h is an old and somewhat musty remark,
to say that there are tricks in all trades ; the present case goes to prove
that there are also more tricks behind the theatrical curtain than
those of the Christmas pantomimes. The plaintiff, Mr. Webb,
we understood to be the prompter at the Surrey Theatre, and
the defendant prompter at the Adelphi ; now it seems that
when any new piece makes a hit in London, country managers
and performers sometimes contrive to get a copy (sub roes)
for their own use. It so happened that on a recent oc-
casion, a country performer, whose name did not appear,
wishing on the night of his benefit to 'take the provincials by sur-
prise, applied to his friend, hir. De Boos, to get him the copy of a new
piece just produced at the Surrey, the name of which was also kept in
the baek.ground ; and so satisfied was the gentleman in the country that
he should get the piece in time, that he billed the whole neighbourhood
with his announcements, and made every other preparation for his be.
netitaight. He of the AM* applied to him of the Surrey, who It
was seated was in the constant habit of supplying these things, and offered
fifteen a twenty shillings for the copy of the manuscript piece, or
even a something mole, provided it was reedy by a certain Moo.
day. Mr. De Boos made many applicadons for the piece, but
in vain, and it did not wantoully ;reach him till the Saturday
following the day on which It was to have been sent; un-

had passed, sod the had h benefit night am disappointed. It
did sot arwhether the besting bantam up, or the chandeliers
destroyed if they bad any) at the country Theatre ; but it was quite
clear to r. De Bees, that as the time was gone by, the manuscript
was of no use either to him or his friend, and he therefore civilly
sent it back to his co-prompter, Mr. Webb. This gentleman, on
his part, not liking to lose all his labour, especially as be bad em.
alcoved an amanuensis to do part of the week, sammosti the de.

CHAMBER OF PEERS. —SITTING or Nov. 26.

" Baron Seguier, Vice-President, in the absence of the President, took
the chair at a quarter-past two o'clock.
" The Minister of the Finances laid before the Chamber the law pro.
ject for closing the accounts of the budget of 1828, which had been
adopted by the Chamber of Deputies.—Ordered to be printed.
Count Portalia brought up the report of the committee on the ques-
tions referred to it u to the liability of peers to be arrested, and said that
though the persons of peers were entitled to enjoy a certain degree of in-
violability, they were nevertheless subject to the common law. The
charter declared that no Peer of France could be arrested without au-
thority from the Chamber. Under what circumstances that authority
ought to be granted, was the question the committee had to resolve, and
it was unanimously of opinion that every person who had obtained a
judgment against the person of a peer ought to have the right of carry-
ing it into execution, that the Chamber ought not in any cue to oppose
it, and that during the recess the authority ought to be granted by the
President, because there should be no obstacle thrown in the way of the
execution of a judgment. The noble reporter then read the law project
ir.oned in conformity with the opinion of the committee, which was or-
.iereil to be printed.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

London, Nov. 11, 1830.

Sri—ln the STAR of the 23d Instant., in your " Army" Extracts, I
perceived with shuddering and disgust an account of the flogging of a
replier, in Ireland, for disobedience, and who was subjected to the in.
thetiou of jive hundred lashes in full. I could hardly believe my
eyes when I read the account ; but, on reference to other papers, I
fbund your statement fully borne out, the Morning Herald and the
Monthly Advertiser of the following day having confirmed it. Scarcely
had I paused and pondered over this atrocious and hellish punish.
merit, when the Chronicle of the following morning presented me
with another exasperating tuorceas, under the head of " rim°.
arxs." From this latter paragraph we learn, that Alderman Farebrother,
on inquiry after the state of the three men who were so severely flogged
at the Old Bailey a short time since, was informed by Mr. TEAGUL,
the governor of the Compter, that two of them were at work again on
the tread-wheel; but the third, WILPON, was in the Infirmary—" holes
having made their appearance in his back In that part which was la.
'crated !!!" Well might the worthy Alderman say," /se hoped to live
so set the day, when this barbat ous system should be abolished; or U
degraded the enterer, and did not prevent the repetition clerk's."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

French papers of Saturday.
" It is reported that Marshal Gerard is about to set out on a tour of
the northern frontiers to inspect the fortresses ; and that General Ilar-
rispe is charged with a similar military inspection along the southern
frontiers.
" Letters from Perpignan of the 20th inst. state, that the superior au-
thorities of Catalonia have interdicted all communication between the
French and the Spaniard& The head of the bridge of Pont de Madame
anti the whole line of the frontier, are closely guarded. This measure
itas thrown the inhabitants of Cerdagne into consternation. The Pre-
fect has remonstrated with the Spanish authorities against these pro-
ceedings. Orders have been given by this officer to send all the Spa-
nish refugees without exception into the interior. The diligences are
daily filled with them, and the Prefect affords pecuniary aid to those
ho have not the means of paying their travelling expences.
" The following is an extract of a letter, dated Puycerda, Nov. 1:: :
The Count d'Espagne arrived here last night with 6 infantry and 50
cavalry. He immediately ordered all Frenchmen to quit the Spanish
territory, and forbids us, under pain of death, to pass upon the French
territory. According to reports in circulation here, the Captain-Gen.
of Catalonia has addressed to the Prefect of the Eastern Pyrenees very
serious remonstrances. He asserts that the Spanish territory has been
violated by the Spanish refugees; that several Frenchmen were incor-
porated with these rebels ; that the French Government had tolerated
them in organizing and equipping themselves in its territory, and that
the prefect of the Eastern Pyrenees had protected and assisted them with
his counsel. It is added, that the Captain-General has transmitted to
our Government papers which prove all these facts, and that he solicits
the Court of Madrid to demand satisfaction of France.'
" Accounts from Copenhagen state, that there have been serious die-
turbances in the duchies of Sleswic anti Holstein, which have rendered it
necessary for the King of Denmark to issue a proclamation.
