TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Sta—A paragraph having appeared in the Ifiroginghant Gowns,
of which I am Editor, on the 12th of December instant, reflecting
so the credit and responsibility of Mr. Hamer, of Princes-street,
'Leicester• square, Jeweller, I beg, through the medium of your
Paper, to state, that since the publication of the paragraph, I have
'ascertained that there did not exist the slightest ground whatever
for the report, and that I was most grossly imposed upon. I take,
therefore, the earliest opportunity of expressing my unfeigned re-
gret that my Paper should have been made the vehicle for circu-
lating so gross and unfounded a calumny; and I also embrace the
same opportunity of expressing my acknowledgments to Mr.
HAMLET, for having accepted as an atonement this statement of
the facts.—l am, Sir, &c. &c.

Mr. William Nicol, manufacturer in Forfar, was, in
,1815, under the necessity of compounding with his
creditors. They were then so well convinced of his
honesty, that they unanimously agreed to discharge
him. Since that time, by adhering to his industrious
habits, and being more fortunate than formerly, he hu
been enabled to retrieve his affairs. Last week he
called a meeting of his creditors, and paid them in full.
A violent storm of thunder and lightning, accompa.
nied by rain and hail, was felt on Wednesday evening,
at Sheffield, Macclesfield, Worcester, iereford, lit econ,
and Monmouth. The church of Monmouth received
a very violent electric shock. The lightning struck the
cranks to which the wire is fastened, and communicated
with the wires belonging to seven df the other bells,
and to the wires of the hammers which strike the hour,
all of which were melted. No injury was done to the
clock, or to the building.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

,10--
GUILDHALL.

The examination of T. Grey, charged with defrauding a miller
of two quantities of Sour, was resumed. The Alderman, after
hearing the minute of the former examination read, was of opinion
the prosecutor had given credit, and that the charge of fraud was at
an end. The only remaining question was, whether the bill was
fictitious? To prove this, the prosecutor was called, who stated
that the Bill was addressed to Messrs. Bond and Co. of the Fast
and West India Chambers, Fenchurch-strett ; and no such place or
firm was to be found iu that street. _ _

Mr. Butler, on the part of the prisoner, proved that there
was such a firm at the Else India Chambers, Ltscienhall-
street, for nine months, especially at the time this bill was drawn
and became due. He also stated that it was to be found in the
Directory for 1824 He expected to be able to produce the per-
son who, under a power of attorney, accepted the bill in the name
of Bond and Co. _ _

After a great deal of discussion, the prisoner was remanded.

Yesterday, Mr. ItlinrEn, of llamptonlA'ick, and another market
gardener, appeared to summonses on account of their carters having
Mopped the passage, by drawing up and remaining wit►out the
denter stone in Cove:it-Garden market. The case was proved,
and the parties being called on for their defence, they said they bad
not room for their carts unless they did draw up in the place al
leged. If they did not do so they could not bring their commodi-
ties to market. .

Mr. HALLS said, he would not enter into an examination of the
necessity which they might have of so doing; they were summoned
according to the provisions of a certain Act of Parliament; they
had inftinged these provisions, as the witnesses proved, and there-
fore be had but one duty to perform, which was to fine them. They
must, therefore, pay a fine of 40s, and costs.

Miss Catherine Baker, alias MI Pitt, a stately, full-blown damsel,
who, within five short years, has descended from all the pride of
courtezanship—satin garments, and nodding plumes, and sparkling
jewels, and costly wines—to rags, dirt, and drunkenness among the
draggle-tailed drabs of Drury; was brought before. Mr. Hams,
yesterday, charged with having knocked down, bruised, battered,
and otherwise ill treated one Luke Everitt, an honest Emerald
watchman of Sr. Paul, Covent Garden.
Luke Everitt found her under the Prams, at two o'clock in the

DORCHESTER RACES.

The renewal of these !Laces kV year, was productive of such
excellent sport, that all the Gentlemen amateurs of the turf in the
county of Dorset expressed their determination to come forward
this year with increased energy. Finer running was never seen
than that which was witnessed on Wednesday. The Course had a
most enlivening effect. The heats were decided as follows :
The Tradesmen's Plate of 75 soya. added to a subscription of 10
sous. each. Heats, once round the Course. Three-year olds,

after the loss of the besiegers, the Seraskirr has raised

I EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A GREEK SOLDIER, DATED
MISSOLONGHI, AUGUST 6.
I, You must know, brother, that our situation was al-
most desperate when the Turks demanded a parley,
and proposed to us to surrender on whatever conditions
we dictated. We were all undecided, when Lambros
addressed the following letter to Redschid P..cha :
" • No one in this city would deign to salute you as
a conqueror. Missolonghi would sink in its blood be-
fore it would surrender. I therefore send you four
bottles of rum to distribute among your standard
bearers, that they may be more spirited and animated
in the attack you are projecting.'
" This was written on the 2d ; on the 3d, day had
hardly begun to break when the Turks attacked us
with impetuosity on four different points, uithout
counting forty barks or little sloops, full of Turks,
ishich assailed us on the side next the sea. With the
help of the Most. Ilruu we have been victorious on all
these points. The ditch was filled with baggage, sran-1
dards, dying, and dead. He carries oft more thin
1,500 killed and wounded, while on our part use have
only to regret the loss of one officer of distinction killed,'
and a few soldiers wounded.

The Turkish vessels disappeared from our harl,ours in
consequence, and there now only remain there twenty-
two cantzonia (a sort of sloops) the movements of
which are certainly watched by a body of troops posted
near the Saltworks; besides, we have just equipped
here all the barks that are at our disposal, and sent
them against this flotilla.
" A courier has arrived in our town to-day, and in•
forms us that 5,000 Romeliots had arrived at Kon.
donni, within five hours march of the enemy's camp,
arid that they had determined on throw ing themselves
on the rear of Redschid's camp, and in hope to be soon
delivered from his presence.
" Five Greek ships have anchored before the Island
of Vassilades; they have brought us provisions in
abundance. It is said that Redschid Pacha had be-
headed Tahir.Abbas, because the Albanians remained
inactive during the attack. (Tallir-Abbas was Ali
l'ischa's former Chief of Police.)"—Constitutionnel.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mrs. l'enlurrt, alias Lady Cockburn, was brought up far re-ex-.
amination, for unlawfully pawning some sheets and a watch, the
property of Mrs. Watts, with whom She had lodged. The watch
had been taken out of pawn by some one, and therefore that charge
fell to the ground.—Mrs. Watts admitted that she bad employed
the prisoner to pawn articles for her, but not the sheets iu question.
.4 Mr. Smith, who had known Mrs. Watts aid the prisoner fur
some years, said that he had known them to be in the habit of
pawning for each other. He offered to pay Mrs. Watts for the
sheets, if she would not press the charge.—The Magistrate, under
all the circumstances of the case, thought she bad better accept the
proposal. Ile paid the money, and the prisoner was set at liberty.
Tuesday, Samuel Harris, career and gilder, Brook-street, Bond.
street, appeared on a summons fur unlawfully disposing of a •alu-
able painting which had been entrusted to him by a Gendeatati of
the name of Smith.

Mr. Smith informed the Magistrate that the painting in question,
which he considered worth more than £2O, and which was said to
be by llubens, had been delivered to Mr. Harris in order to be re-
touched. Mr. Harris wished to buy it from him, and on Mr. Smith
refusing to sell it, the other off:red two floe paintings in exchange
for it. Mr. Smith took time to consider of the proposal, and in the
meantime sent a friend to Mr. Hants by way of bounding him as
to the value of these two paintings. He would not pan with them
for less than £2O. So Mr. Smith began to think that his single
painting which 31r. Harris seemed so anxious to purchase was worth
much more than the two. He resolved to keep it, and requested
Mr. Harris to send it home as soon as repaired, but he had sold it
in the meantime.

Mt. Kos directed that the de:endant should either produce the
picture within a cestain time or find hail.
It was produced yesterday, when, after the Counsel on both
sides, amounting to three, had consulted for some time, the parties
came to an amicable arrangenwtst, and Mr. Ilarris delivered up the
painting on receiving AS fur repairs.

insured by marriage ; " the'strictest tie of perpetual Friend-
s:4lZis a gift from Heaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by
, ssys Johnson, " we approach in some degree of association,
with celestial Intelligence."
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it
becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but
to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free-
dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon It. To the
neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless
instances which, while they excite the commiseration of the be-
holder, should alao impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the
tropics wilt relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the na-
tural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized
sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such then,
we address ourselves, offering hope, energy, muscular strength,
felicity; nor will our advances appear questionable, sanctioned as
they are by the multiplied proofs of 20 years' successful experience.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes ,disturbed by the

strengthened, sad deficient energy improved into functional power.

honorable integrity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we
refer the suffering conununity of either Sex (especially those entering

ST THE LATE WILLIAM AMUR, ESQ. BATH.

And most thou fit my doom, sweet master, say—
And wilt thou *ll thy servant, old and poor?
A little longer let me live, I pray,
A little longer bobble round thy door!
For mach it glade me to behold this place,
And Iroise within this hospitable shed;
•
It glad. me more to see my master's face,
And linger near the spot where I was bred?
For, ah! to think of what we both enjoy'd
In my life's prime, ere I was old and poor,
When from the jocund morn to eve'etriploy'd,
My gracious master on this back I bore !
Thrice told ten years have danc'd on down along,
Since first these way worn limbs to thee I gave;
Sweet, smiling years ! when both of us were young,
The kindest mutes, and the happiest slave !
•
Ah, years sweet smiling! now for ever flown !
Ten years thrice told, alas, are but a day !
Yet as together we are aged grown,
Together let us wear our age away !
For still the times behind are dear to thought,
And rapture mark'd each minute as it flex,
To the light heart all-changing seasons brought
Pains that were soft, or pleasures that were new !
Ah ! call to mind how oft near Scarniug's stream
My steps were bent to yonJer Muse trod grove ;
There she who lov'd thee was thy tender theme,
And I the chosen messenger of love !
On the gale's pinion, with a lover's care,
E'en with the speed of thought did I not go—
Explore the cottage of thy absent fair.
And eas'd thy sick'ning bosom of it's woe ?
And when that doubting heart still felt alarms,
Throbbing alternate with its hope and fear,
Did I not bear thee safely to her arms.
Assure thy faith, and dry up ev'ry tear?
And, eh ! forget not when the fever's power
Rag's! sore, how swift I sought the zephyr's wing,
Tr cool thy pulses in the fragrant bower,
And bathe thy temples in the clearest spring?
Friend to thy love, and health, and not a foe
E'en to the Muse who led thee on to fame;
Yes, e'en thy lyre to me some charms may owe,
And fancy kindled into brighter flame!
And hast thou fiz'd my doom, sweet master, say—
And wilt thou kill thy servant, old and poor?
A little longer let me live I pray,
A little longer hobble round thy door !
Nor couldst thou bear to see thy servant bleed,
'fbo' weeping Pity has decreed hi. fate;
Ytt, !in vain thy heart for life shall plead,
If Nature has denied a longer date !
Alas ! I feel 'tis Nature dooms my death,
Ah me ! I feel 'cis l'ity gives the blow—
s Yet, crc it fills, ab, Nature take my breath,
And my kind master shall no sorrow know !

Ere the last morn of my allotted life,
A bolter fate shall end me, old and poor,

MARRIED.

At St. George's, Hanover-square, the Rev. Henry Freeland, of
Cobham, Surrey, Rector of Haskeaton, Suffolk, to Sophia Lydia,
youngest daughter of the late Thomas Ruggles, Esq. of Spaineo
Hall, Essex.
At the village of Kirkconnel, in Sanquhar parish, last 'meth, a
newly wedded pair bad retired to rest, after the marriage knot had
been firmly tied by the holy man, little expecting to be further die-
turbed with visitors for that night at least. Vain, however, were
their expectations. A disappointed lover of the bride made his way
into the room unknown to the happy pair, accompanied by a couple
of devils in the shape of men. The three instantly attacked the
bridegroom with bludgeons, and endeavoured to carry off his
scarcely wedded wife almost in a state of nudity. Her +creamy
brought the marriage party from an adjoining house, to the kelp of
her astounded helpmate, who at last succeeded in breaking up the
door of the apartment, and after many of them bad sustained
wounds and buffetinp in the cane, accomplished the deli.
very of the loving couple front their unprincipled tormentors,
and had them conveyed to a distance to seek rest and quiet, after
the storms of the night, in a more secure retreat.

LENT ASSIZES.

OXFORD, MARCH 4.
A singular circumstance occurred in the criminal
Court to-day. John Castell and John Mobley, two
labourers, were jointly charged with stealing and killing
a sheep, the property of a farmer at Kiddington. Castell
had made a fall confession before Mr. Thomas, a Ma-
gistrate; and as there was no sufficient evidence against
his companion, who was considered the instigator, an
order was made to take Castel] before the Grand Jury
as a witness. When he came into the room, he refused
to be sworn, or to tell anything, and was consequently
remanded into custody. A bill was then preferred against
both, but thrown out as against Mobley, for want of
proof, and found against Caste)l on his own confession.
Upon this confession, amply confirmed by circum-
stances, he was put on his trial and convicted.
Mr. Baron GARROW, in summing up the case, ob-
served that he recollected an instance of the same kind
at Leicester. Four men were charged with killing
nineteen rams of that breed whose value was well known
to all agriculturalists. One of them, who had fully
confessed, was admitted a witness for the Crown; but,
when he came into the box, he denied all that he had
said before, and his associates were acquitted. He was
then put on his trial, and found guilty ; ail the twelve
Judges held the conviction right ; and his sentence of
death was commuted only to transportation for life.
In this case sentence of death was recorded, and an
intimation given that the prisoner's life would be spared.
William Kearn was -indicted for a misdemeanour in
attempting, on the preceding day, to pick the pocket of
a collegian, named Cousins, in the criminal Court,
during the trials. The case against him was proved by
the Gentleman from whom he attempted to take the
handkerchief, and the javelin-man who caught him in
the fact. Notwithstanding this evidence, he pretested
that he was as " innocent as a child unborn ;" but
being a very notorious offender, received sentence of
imps isonment and hard labour for three years.
James Iveykaf, a traveller, in the employ of a silk-
mercer in London, was indicted for an assault, with in-
tent to commit a rape, on Elizabeth Wilder.
The story told by the prosecutriz was disbelieved by
the Jury, who found the prisoner Not Guilty.
London, England, 1825-03-07

WINCHESTER, MARCH 5.

John Johnstose, Henry Andrews, and William Sey-
mour, were charged with entering the burial ground of
the Royal Hospital, at Haslar, and stealing the corpse
of Thomas Brookland from his grave.
The Jury acquitted Andrews, and found Johnson and
Seymour Guilty.
Mr. Justice BURROUGH said, that the crime of which
the prisoners had been convicted, was so disgusting and
distressing to the feelings, that he was sorry to find that
there could be persons found who could act so inhu-
manly as to follow such abominable practices. He well
knew that it was alnost valuable and profitable concern
Ito the persons who supported it, but be would do his
best to put a stop to it. It was a crime of the foulest
character, and he called it so, because a parent could
never be satisfied, while it was suffered, that bis child
lay quietly in its grave, or a child have the consolation
of 'knowing that the remains of its parent had not been
disturbed, for the purpose of being mangled and cut to
pieces. It was an abomination not to be endured; and
if certain persons must have bodies for scientific uses,
they must be satisfied with such legal mea,ttrei as the
law allowed, which was by executions. Such an out-
rage on our feelings could not be suffered ; and if the
persons for whose use tiley were obtained, could not be
punished, care must be taken that those who committed
the crimes must be made to smart for it. The offence
of Seymour was greatly aggravated, by his having be-
trayed the confidence that was placed in him by the
situation which he held; and his punishment would be
measured accordingly. The ientenee of the Court was,'
that Johnson should pay a fine of 50/. to the King, and
be imprisoned for six months. Seymour, being too poor
to pay a fint, was sentenced to 12 months' confinement.
Joseph Robins, a person who held a respectable office
in the Ordnance Establishment in this County, was
convicted of embezzling upwards of £1,400, which he
bad collected for the public service ; and the Court,
taking into consideration that be had been confined five
months, adjudged that he should be imprisoned for:
seven mouths longer.

DR. JAMES'S ANALEPTIC PILLS

HAVE long established their decided superiority
over every other Medicine hitherto discovered for the cure
of Colds, Rheumatic Attacks, Slight Fevers, and indeed all Dis-
orders arising from obstructed perspiration, of such frequent oc-
currence in ourchangeable climate. Persons travelling And them
most beneficial, as they are so mild in their effects as not to require
any confinement. From the derangement of the digestive organs,
bilious and nervous disorders arise, and the consequent result is
headache, nausea, defective appetite, giddiness, and gouty symp-
toms: in these cases the Analeptic Pills afford constant relief, re-
storing by degrees the functions of the stomach and bowels. The
genuine Dr. James's Analeptic Pills have the name" F. Newbery"
engraved in the Government stamp. This must be observed, as
imitations are very general.
Messrs. Newbery continue to prepare Dr. James's Analeptic
Pills from the only recipe existing under Dr. James's hand, and they
are sold by them at the Original Warehouse for Dr. James's Pow-
der, No. 45, Sc. Paul's Church Yard; and by J. Sanger, 150, Ox-
ford-street, in Boxes at 4s. 6(1. or Six In Boa, 245.

GUILDHALL

Mama" Gray WWI charged with defrauding a Suffolk miller, by
paying a fictitious bill tot a quantity of Sour.—lletnandesl.

BOW-STREET.

Three Gentlemen, two of whom were of the medical profession,'
were brought up before dir. HALL', to answer the complaint of
:„ Drennan and Kcony. also practitioners in the healing art.
From the stiacinetit of Mr. Merman it appeared that he is re-
siding in the Strand, and acts in the capacity of assistant to 31r.
Kenny. Friday night, while he was in Mr. Kenny's shop, his
attention was excited by voices in the street, directing a variety of
elegant epithets, such as " scamp, blackguard," ficc. agai •st both
himself and his employer. On going to the door to ascertain who
the parries might he, indulging in these figures of rhetoric, be
perceict•d three defend.ints, Messrs. Nolasi, Stokes. and Van-
%\' i; G the two former of whom be had some previous ac-
quaintat.ce• At this moment, before he bad time to inquire
Whrrtin he had deserved so of them

That they extoll'd him thus,"
he recdeed a blow from a pretty little bamboo, with which Mr.
Nolan has 614t-trup the vacancy occasioned by the disuse of the
gold lie:.ded article of old, the distinguishing characteristic and
duke (fix t's of the profession. Mr. Vandeleur, whose acquaint-
ance he: had not previously had the happiness of possessing, in-
quired, at the same time, if he, Mr. Brennan, were not the au-
thor of a certain auonymous epistle which he then held in bis
hand ? To both these Gentlemen he proceeded to give answers in
kind, denying to Mr. Vandeleur that he knew anything of the
billet, and at the same time returning a manual reply to the
ruder attack of Mr. Nolan. It may easily be supposed that this
controversy was not carried on without noise. Mr. Kenny, who
was at that moment up stairs, recruiting after the fatigues of
the day with a cup of twelve shilling hyson, beard the disturbance
and hurried to the scene of action. His appearance divert►d the
storm in some degree from Mr. Brennan, 11115411UC11 as Mr. Stokes',
instantly towed upon the new ally, and seized him by the collar
of the cut, which be shook violently, utterly regardless as it should
seem, that the owner was at that moment in it.
The defence was repeatedly interrupted by all the pries talking
together; but Messrs. Stokes and Nolan were held to bail• for the
assault.

ENTERPRISE STEAM PACKET.
._-,...

FROM THE CAPE TOW), GAZtTrE OF OCTOBER 14.
We have at length the pleasure to announce the safe
arrival of the Enterprise steam• vessel, Captain Johnston*
from Gravesend the Sd, and Falmouth the 16th el:
August. This interesting event occurred at an early
boar yesterday morning. Signal having been made
soon after day-light, that she was standing into Table
Bay, a vast concoursq of persons assembled on Green
Point, and at other places from whence a view of the
bay can be obtained. The wind being light from the
southward and westward. the vessel steamed to her an-
chorage in magnificent it*, under a salute from the
Castle, which was returned' by the Enterprise lowering
and immediately re-hoisting her colours, ind subse-
quently on passing near. the shore; by manning her
rigging and giving three cheers.
We cannot but congratulate the public upon this
additional triumph of art and science over the elements ;
for although the voyage bas not been aeconsplirhed in
the short period anticipated, yetfwe have every reason
to suppose, that whatever wants or defects may have
been discovered, will be supplied or remedied in future ;
and we may confidently hope, that this mode of com-
municating with India will ultimately succeed to the
extent of every reasonable expected se.

GOLD COINAGE.

te.. result of the Cabinet deliberations upon the
subject Odle distressed state of the Money Mai ket, has
partially transpired, not in a suspension of cash pay-
ments by the 'bank of England, nor in an unlimited
*Pc of paper, as some of our contemporaries have
ritOix spopieed, but in an order of the Officers of the'
Alm to expedite, with all possible dispatch, an extra-
ballnery coinage of sovereigns. In consequence of this
Wdtt;. which *as issued on Tbunday, an unexampled
alkstrei,o‘activity pervades the operations at the Mint,
4, nod advoMersison; the Depute Master, and Mr. Atkin-
son, the Provost of the Managers, are indefatigable in
their exertions to forward the wishes of Government.
The risen work extra hours, and so greet is the effort
making, that even yesterday (Sunday) they were eni-
ployethbe whole- day. It is conjectured that, by means
of this nnrernitud exertion, and with the assistance of
the incompatible machinery which is erected at the
New Mint, they be able to throw off seven hundred
thousand'sclveteigns per week. The price of bullion is
extremely favoitrable to these operations, being loser
chats the Mitt price; so that every ounce of gold
eeitted,, the Bank realises a profit. The great deprecia-
tion of the Funds also, by inducing foreigners to :emit
inirestinents for ktuchisel, will still further turn the
exchange in Our favour,
.and increase the quantity of
lrulli..en in the market. As the amount of gold coin
now in the country .is known to be greater than at any
furs er period, wish the-addition which the coinage now
gt,ing on will, froduce,- there exists not the slightest
ground for apprehension that the Hank will be unable
to continue its'lstiinfents in cash.
