TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

sia—l have read a letter in your Paper *of the
ith of January. 1803, figned by time perfon, who
fiyles himfelf a Friend to Jullice ; his arguments, I
Inuit needs fay, are very ingenious but I think that
a little more candour would not have been amifs,
Could he not, Sir, have (fated the embarraffments
which the Officers of the Army are obliged to en•
counter in pecuniary affairs, without placing the fi-
tuation of the Officers of the Navy in oppefinon. I
firould be glad to know wherein this superiority in
point of pay ezifts. Let us take a candid and im-
partial view of the fituation-of the two Cervices, and
the correfronding ranks of each, and we shall loon
fee, that much as the Military Officer fuffers from
the inadequaterefs of his income to fupport his rank,
that the Naval Officer fuffers 11111 more. For ex-
ample—A Lieutenant of the Navy ranks with a Cap-
tain of the Army—but mark the difference of their
ply, tliat of the Military Man is half a-guinea per
diem, -,vhile the Lieutenant of the Nayy has only
five thillnigs. Here, Sir, is a wide difference I but
this is not the only difficulty that the latter, labours
tinder. The appearance which they are obliged to
snake, both when in hat boor and at tea, is attended
with Co much expence, that few. are able to bear it,
without fouething cite betides their pay, and many
are frequently found at the dole of a war, who, after
having braved the dangers of the tlormy ocean, and
maid their lives to the chance of battle, are left to
bnguifh out the rep of their days on the scanty pit-
tance of 3s. 6d. or 4s. per diem ; many even are ar-
relied at the suit of their taylors, for the clothes
which their fituation obliges them to haie. You will
perhaps fay, that the chance of prize.money is one
reafon why there is no occafion to augment the pay of
the Officers of the Navy, but you should recoiled that
it is a cafualty depending on circumtlances, and that
many officers go through the routine of fervice with-
out receiving a tingle Chilling of prize-money. Con-
fider, likewife, the hardthips of the Naval Officer in
companion with thofe of the Army ; the former are
obliged to keep conftant watch, and mutt alto be
ready at all calls, both day and night, espofed to the
inclemency of the weather continually.
There are many more hardfhips, as well as diffi-
enities (which I could mention) attached to a tea
life, but I with to bear them in filence.
I have the honour to be, Mr. Editor,
Your most bumble servant,
as OLD SEA OFFICIit.

On Monday and Tuefday was played in. Lord's
Ground, a grand match of Cricket, between nine of
klampfhire with Lord Beauct.sair and BELDAM, and
eleven of all England, for tOOO 'guineas a-fide, which
was won by England, by five wickets.
Saturday,his Majefly's Prize was fhot for ow Burial'
geld Links, Edinburgh, by the Royal Company of
Archer, and gained by CHARLES CUNNINGHAM, Efq.
Captain and Adjutant of the ad battalion of the 2d
regiment of Royal Edinburgh Volunteers. An elegant
dinner was afterwards Rived by the Archers, at which
were prefent his Excellency the Earl of Mama, ft.-
'mai other, of the Nobility, and General Officers
The excavations at Pompeii, at Frefole, in Thef-
illy, and in Sicily, in'fearch of antiquities, are carry.
ing on with the moft aaive and fuccefsful energy ;
feveral manufcripts, long loft, as well as flames,
vrafes, coins, kc. have been recently difcovered in
excellent prefervation.
The Rev. J. VYE, B. D. and Fellow of Exeter
College, Oxford, has been prefented by that fociety
to the valuable living of Wootton, Northamptonfhire.
The Rev. J. LE• HAYES has proteled againfl the
prefentation, and entered a caveat, alledging, that as
Mr. Vr E held a Imall living which he had not legally
refigned previous to the death of Dr. Tr REY, the lafl
incumbent, and as the perfon who gave the living to
the College exprefsly mentioned that it should be given
to a Fellow who had no preferment whatevei,he was
fully entitled to the prefentation. The matter will
come before the Court of Chancery.
At the 'aft examinations for Fellowfhips in Trinity
College, Dublin, the turn of 4601. was adjudged to
Mr, PHILIP CRAMPTON, an unfuccefsful candidate, as
a reward for the great merit wbichhe difplayed upon
the nccafion.

Theve are two tefpeitable families in Cumberland
(or rathcr two branches of one family), at the head
of which are a father and his fon ; and the number
of each branch is equal, amounting, together, to
tigivern perfons. It is, perhaps, a angular fad, that
the former has one fon and fa daughters, and the latter,
ixfiro an i one daughter.
It is faid that the dogs brought from Botany Bay
are the moll ri,ims ever leen. It may be fo ; but we
who fend fu many fad dogs thither, have little right
to complain.
It v.As some time fince Rated, that a private foldier
in the Lail Stlff,lk Militia had the extraordinary good
fortune to have left to him 400,0001. and that his two
brothers alto had left to them 60001. a year each.—
We hear that thefe three fortunate perfons were all
private foldiers in the EaR Suffolk Militia, and prove
to be the legal reprefentatives of the late W. JEN-
VINGS) Efq. of Afton, Suffolk, and of Grofvenor•
lip are.

On Saturday fe'nnight the Mate of the Newburgh
Vtlunteer, of Leith, was turned over to the Prefs

Tar and 61k-oil Wiled in equal quantity (by mea-
fure) and well rubbed spon fruit trees with a bruth,
is Rated to be a lure means of extirpating that de-
flrnaive race of inlets which airtime the appearance
of mould on the bark and branches.

All foreign coins, except Spanith dollars, have
etafed to be legal tender for the payment of debts in
America, the law which gave them currency hereto-
