TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Sia,—From observing that you have, in every instance, given
fair and impartial accounts of the general news from Colombia, I
beg the favour of your inserting the following remarks in your
estimable Paper.
The friends of the Republic of Colombia have seen, with much
surprise, and with equal regret, the continual erroneous statements,
and comments upon the same, which have been laid before the
public, respecting the actual state of that country. Statements of this
nature, unfounded in themselves, but borrowing a semblance of
truth from the authority of the presto, cannot but prove highly in-
jurious to the credit of Colombia, and must at the same time tend
sensibly to undermine and weaken the good understanding which tt
present exists between ourselves and that Republic.
To those who are at all acquainted, either with the public or
private character of the individual, whose mighty mind has achieved
the independence of this growing empire, there can be no doubt bat
that his first effort, on resuming the reins of Government, will be
to redeem the sacred pledge which has been given to this country
and which, in supplying Colombia with "the sinews of way,4
possesses such strong and lasting claims upon her gratitude....
" Judi atrium parkas" is one of the soundest maxims of the law;
and it is but justice, therefore, to Colombia, that the British public
should suspend their judgment until ollicial accounts (which may
be daily expected) shall arrive, and not suffer themselves to be led
away in the interim by reports, fabricated in London, for which
there can only be one motive—the aiding and supporting a regular

system of Stock-jobbing

Era--Observing in the Morning Papers the arrival in the
Downs of the Haytlan schooner La Union, from St. Domingo,
with the remark that this is thefirst vessel under the Haytian flag
that has arrived in Great Britain. I beg to notice, that in the
Autumn of 1914, a brig under Haytian colours owned at Cape
Henry (as it was called then), and commanded by a black man,
named Barrett, a Lieutenant in Christophe's Navy, arrived at
Plymouth, on her way to London, with a cargo of mem and sugar ;
but having received much damage by storms in crossing the Atlan.
tic, she ultimately discharged her cargo at Plymouth. The Haytlan
*at had longfbefore that period been seen lying on board the brig
Young Roacius and the Alp Lady Esther Stanhope, in Plymouth
Sound. W.

Saturday, the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND passed
through Newcastle trent Laden, for Ainwick Castle.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East
India Howse° when the following Captains were sworn into the
command of their r ve ships ; viz.—Captain Ramses GLAM.
POOLS, ; and Captain DAVIS Ras NEWALIS
&Well Castle, for Bengal and China.
The maltsters an the County of Hereford are about to
petition Parliament, to allow them to sprinkle or water
barley making into malt, after taken from the cistern,
at the expiration of eight days instead of twelve.
Accounts have been received from Monte Video, of
the 27th of September. The Chilian Beet had arrived
on the Eastern Coast of America, and had been spoken
with, within two degrees of the River Plate. It is
stated, it is the intention of Admiral /how* (who had
left Buenos Ayres to join the squadron) immediately
to proceed to the coast of Brazil, and declare the whole
coast of that country, extending to so many degrees of
latitude, under blockade. If this is carried into effect;
in addition to the half million of English property
seized by the Brazil fleet, and no doubt condemned,
we shall probably have three or four times the amount
seized by the Republicans cm the coast of Brazil.
The Neapolitan war schooner, the Aristides, has
arrived at Marseilles from Naples. This vessel had
specie on beard to the extent of 100,0004 and on Satur-
day last Mr. ROTHSCHILD offered a premium of ten
guineas per cent. on her, for sea and enemies' risk; both
at Lloyd's and at the Alliance Marine Insurance Office.
but no insurance could be effected on her. Her safe
arrival. therefore, saves 10,000 guineas to this eminent
Capitalist.
