TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Nottingham, September 28, 2819.

Sin—Many Members of " the Nottingham Sub-
scription News Room" have been highly amused this
afternoon with a Letter, which appeared in The Sua
Newspaper of yesterday, signed ALEXANDER MAN*
SON, M.D. Chairman."
As it is no secret here, nor will it be deemed a
disgrace any where, that The Star is the Paper al-
luded to, you are hereby recommended to print the
said Letter from The Sun of September 27th, ter-
&dint, in an early Number of your Paper, to which
yak may add the following short exposition of facts :
(Imo% rut .111:4 or sarrsancli 97.)

4 Sta--It must be gratifying to the Editor of The Sun to be
acquainted that, at a Meeting of the Subscribers to the News-
Room, at the Flying Horse Inn, in this town. where seventeen
Papers are taken in, and the Subscribers amount to 152, that
the s Newspaper was unanimously voted to be discontinued,
on account of the departure from the erinciplea formerly es-
poused by that Paper, and that another Son Newspaper was as
Unanimously chosen in its place owing t• the steady adherence
of The Sun to the principles of our glorious and inestimable
Constitution, in Church and State....-It is with much pleasure
that I make this communication, by deuce of the Meeting ; and

" I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,

ALSIANIMIL MANSON, M. D. Chairman."
EXPOSITION. •
In the Town of Nottingham, so celebrated for pos
sessing Inhabitants who dare to think for themselves,
there are a few violent spirits, who, not knowing how
to use their own thinking faculties, always endeavour
to oppose the exercise of them is their neighbours.—
When Tory principles were in greater repute than
they are at present, these men could sometimes, by
dextrous manoeuvring, obtain a majority at the
yearly Meetings of the Public News Room, and, by
their violence, and the partiality with which they
voted in Papers, they inflicted those wounds on a
most respectable Establishment (held by permission
of the Corporate Body in the Exchange) which occa-
sioned its deep decline, if not its final dissolution.—
About three years 'ince ancther News Room was
commenced ; the present subscription to which is
twenty-five shillings per annum, and it is conducted
in a manner which would do credit to a larger town
even than Nottingham.
On looking over the List of Subscribers, it appears
that several of the great Tory partizans, besides the
quondam Navy Surgeon (A. M--, M.D.), are sat
Members of this Institution. They, no doubt, are
also at the " Flying Horse," which, it seems, boasts
1" 132 Members, aad takes in 17 Newspapers." What
these Papers are, Mr. Editor, persons here cannot
conjecture, for it is a fundamental principle of the,
concern, to take in nothing which is opposed to the
present Ministers of the PRINCE REGENT.

The worthy Chairman having spared a few seconds
of that time, which is universally known to be so
fully and usefully occupied, to furnish the world with
information respecting this truly liberal, eminently
enlightened, and very respectable Society ; and,
having done this by the resplendent light of the
" Sun," allow me the glimmering of a " STAR" to
finish this intelligence, so important to man. This I
shall do by stating, that the 132 Members of this So-
ciety, read their 17 Newspapers in the Tap-room of
a Public-house, which measures 15 feet long, 10 feet
wide, is 6 feet 6 inches high, and to which the sub-
scription is seven shillings per annum !
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
