TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Stn—As many of your Readers may not know the
very different services an Italian Courier performs,
from that of an English Footman, I beg to state the
following fact:
_ _ _

An English widow and her family of daughters, the eldest
newly grown up, went to Italy to pass some time there; and re-
solving to conform to the Italian customs, upon leaving England
they discharged their English servants, and engaged an Italian
Courier; and, with an English Governess, travelled in their own
carriage. The Couriercncted as protector, guide, interpreter,
steward, valet, and ii.dy's-maid. At an Italian inn, he hot
chose the bed-rooms in the saloon, there termed the soli, and
fixed his own next akoning the Ladies; he then examines the
beds, gives out the bed-linen, and sees the beds Made, in which
msn in general assist, or make entirely. Ile orders the dinner,
the Ladies not knowing what is to come until it appears; he
discharges all bills of expense; and in the morning he goes into
the Ladies' bed-rooms, after they have risen, and while they are
in the room, he collects the bed and other linen, packs it up, or
gives it out for washing. If the Ladies ring from their bed-
room, he answers, enters, and continues; and when leaving the
room, no one infers that he has been upon a criminal errand.
So different are the services of an English Footman, who would
fully justify the ordinary cases dwelt upon with so much em-
phasis by the accusing Counsel, if he were seen hi an English
inn, shut up with his Mistress in her bed-chamber. No such
criminal inference is, however, made in Italy, from the well-
known services au Italian Courier performs.
A I.OVER OF TRUTH.

Yesterday an Address of Condolence and Congra-
tulation was presented to her MAJESTY, from Liver-
pool, signed by several thousand inhabitant%
A numerous Meeting of the Patit•hioners of St-
James's, Clerkenwell, was held in the Church on
Thursday, at which several Resolutions, and an Ad-
dress of Condolence and Congratulation to the*QueeN
were agreed to.

Her MAJR.srit returned the following gracious An-
swer to the Address!tons Bethnal-Green :
" The Churchwardens, Overseers, and Vestrymen of the
Parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal:Green, arc requested to accept
my cordial thanks for this spontaneous tribute of affectionate
regard.
The present mode of proceetling against me in the House
of Lords,. may -well alarm those who have any regard for the
political welfare or the moral interest of the nation. Though
the primary object of the BM of Pains and Penalties is to oi-
vorcc me from his Majesty, yet it is hypocritically pretended
that his Majesty is not a party in the case. An abstract term
is employed, in order to cover the deception, and the State is
substituted for his Majesty. But the State, if it means any
thing, must mean the people, colleativAy considered. But the
people, collectively considered, insteld of desiring a dinolutiln
of my marriage with his Majesty, have expressed the most in-
dubitable desire that that marriage may not be annulled, but
that I may remain Queen Consort of these realms, and bt: ir-
,cested with all the rights, privileges, ar.d immunities which the
law has appropriated to that Royal dlet:lty.
" To pretend that his Majescy is not a party, and the sol:
complaining party in this great question, is to render the who'.e
hnsiness a mere mockery—the reprobation of the good, the j.st
of the thoughtless, and the contempt of the wise. His :Majesty
.e;ther does cr does not desire the divorce which the Bill of
Paiiisand Penalties proposes td accomplish. If hts Majesty does
-not desire the . divorce, it is c..rtain • hat the State does not desire
It in his stead, awl if the divorce is the desire et his Majesty, his
•Majesty ought to seek jt on the same terms as his subjects; for,
iu a limited Monarchy, the law is one and the same for all; or
otherwise, the inure volition of the Monarch is paramouut to
the law, and the Gorenunent becotries a despotism." •

Her MAJESTY returned the following most graci-
ous Answer to the Address from Sheffield:
" I shall never be uttntir.ilful of the obligation which the. In-
habitants cf the Town of ritu..ilield and its vicinity have con-
ferred upon me, by this honest testimony of thAr fervent zeal
for my interest, their tender sympathy fur my sorrows, and
their generous resenernent of my wrongs-
Tnungli benefits ought to be written in marble, and injuries
in the dwt, yet the injuries I have endured have been too nAnlf
in number, and too grievous in kind, to be readily obliterated
from my recutlection ! DEN though my memory retains the Im-
pression, i have not suffered the sririt of revenge to rankle in
my bteast. It would have been well for me, And perhaps not
ill for the country, if my ()ppresbor bad been as tree from ma-
lice as myself ; for what is it but malice, of the most unmixed
nature, wad the most titncl-nting character, which has infested
m,pati, and waylaid toy steps, during a longlseriod of twenty-
ve years? Malice of this desc..?tion, rf such long continuance,
and such extraordinary intensity, has certainly been productive
of great misery to myself; but I may well repress the senti-
ments of revenge, when I reflect that it must have been produc-
tive of much snore inciiiietuda in that mind'whlch could listen
to its iuggestions, and in that bosom which cauld cherish a spi-
rit so adverse to goodness, and so incompatible with happiaess."

We have been favoured with the following com-
munication from a most respectable Clergyman, who
has performed Divine Service in her MAJESTY'S
Household since her return to England :
" At a time when the Frees teems. with observations on the
conduct of the Qureu, it is remarkable that not one has attempt-
Lel to pourtray her Maeesi Y'S most amiable and strikingly serious
and devout deportment in Religious Worship. Few have been
so far privileged as to be present cn the occasion. It, however,
has fallen to the lot of the writer to have had the very high ho-
nowt; of officiating before her Meeesry on the third Sunday after
her arrival is England ; and he conceives it a paramount duty 1
to offer to the Public his unsolicited testimony of the QC:RCN s
moireremplary and devout deportment during the whole of cur
Chun% Service ; and he wishes to do so at this particular time,
because,- front the proximity of the proceedings in the House of
Lords, the unsolicited testimony of a Minister of the Church or
.Eng Lind in her 11leeio.ey's favour, vi l doubtless have its weight
with that Noble House, and with every-well-regulated mind
throughout the Empire. He, therefore, does not hesitate to say;
that a stricter attention to Divine Worship could not be evinced
by any person, high or low, than was manifested by our most
excellent Queret, throughout the entire performance. AU the
Responses, as well as the altereate verses in the Psalms, were
delivered by her Means: with the Iltmost pathos and propriety.
It was impossible not to catch a feeling of devotion from the
Illustrious Personage. On every occasion when our venerable
Rubric ditected kneeling, the (..Z:Ir.FN conscious of the more im-
mediate presence of the Deere, invatzbly fell low on her knees
on the floor, ern seeking and not having any prop tole= on,
but most diligently intent en the awful and solemn exercise in
which her whole heart appeared to be engaged ; aor, after the
conclusion, did her Maemer rise until she had off:red up a
secret prayer to the MOZT Hien, for acceptance in his sight.—
If, then, a nation is highly favoured where the great and the
illustrious are examples of piety and virtue, Britain is truly blest
in its present Qemev. And as to judge of a tree by its fruit is
the only certain method of forming a right judgment, so it will
be admitted, that a behaviour so strikingly exemplary, cannot
but emanate fronTa heart which is the seat of Parity and Irma-
cenee, Honour and Religion."
It was a favourite maxim of the late Professor PON-
SON, that " no man forgot what it was his interest to'
remember." This accounts for the peculiar memory of
Theodore Majocco—he is not paid for remembering
anything in favour of the QUEEN
A Gentleman, a native of Sicily, says, the allow-
, auce to the Captain of the polacca, during his stay in
England, if continued six months, will in that coun-
t try purchase him the means of living in ease and corn-
fort the remainder of his life. His profits, cbmparing
them with what men in the same rank generally gain,
would be thought ample for a year it amounting to
1000 dollars. Eight hundred dollars, the Mate's al-
lowance for one month, is more than he would be
likely to gain in two years !
