The admirefs of BUIS tis in Dumfries (where the

P 0..:: breathe I his last%, celebrated the Anniversary of
,:it Niirth is . ,-üblic Dinner, mbich was most mi-
. -nt,-?assly and respectably attended. After the usual
• üblie tomb had been 'given, the President rose, and ,1
'..1 rropriseid " The immcntal memory of Burns," which
1 .a :rank standing; in solemn silence. This toast
i'l ...e irefaced with a very elegant and appropriate,
•--<.ech, which he eitncluded b.y emphatically ob-
.o...wing, in allusion to the faults imputed to the life
of Burns, that they were " perhaps the constitutional
vices of his poetic temperament—the conditions of
i chat Charter by which be held his lofty endowments
—the tax that be paid for his patent of homottality.
After paying all his debts, principal and interest,
:here is a splendid reversion of unencumbered capital.
His faults, when weighed against his beauties, are as
iist in the balance." In the course of the evening
he following toasts were given, and drank with great
enthusiasm:
0 The Widow, Children, and Grandchildren of Boaxs "
1 " Mr. Gu.srir BANS, the Poet's brother—a man worthy of
being honoured inn his own account, Independently of his near
r..litionship to Boast."
" The memory of Mrs. Dustoe, of Dunlop, the enlightened
:' t 1 c r leers and Guardian Angel of Burns, who watched over
'• hl., destinies with something„of si parental anxiety, and extended i
1
to him, during the whole progress of his public fife, rho benefit ,1
of her disinterested counsels, and the iriluessee of her venerable 1

name."

" The Friends of Genius all over the World."

'• Tile active and indefatigable Secretary rf the Club—Mr.
'.; son—who has distinguished himself, among the admirers of
Burns, by the ardour of his enthusiasna—whose veneration for
the Poet's memory does not exhauat itself is barren expression,
but is of a solid and practical character; and who has essen-
tially contributed to procure for his remair.s those splendid
honours which ennoble the Spot where they new lia."
" The memory of AL/AN Itaws.sc,whose Comedy of the Geadc
Ylep.'lerd is perhaps the finest specimen of the pastoral drama in
our l. nz,uage."

" Ttkc memory of Ftanussm."
" Mr. W„ame Sam, the great literary phenomenon of the
age, whose capacious and inventive mind teems with a rich and
iaexhaustable abundance of all possible forms of excellence it
then happiest combinations, and is himself one vast and magni-
ficent Encyclopzdia of genius."

Upon this toast being given from the Chair, Mr.
AI•thAaMID rose, and in a speech of considerable
length, pronounced a warm and high eulogium on
tne character and genius of the Prince of modern
Novelists.

" Nr. Timms' Casn'satt., equally distinguished by the excel-
lence of his Poetry and the soundness of his Criticism."
" Mr. JAWS Hoax, the Etuick Shepherd, whose splendid
work, called The Queen's !rake, will transmit his notme to pos-
terity, as one of the most original Poets of the age..

" The 3lemoryOf the late Mr. I%ltttsa, of adswinton, a ge-
nerous and beneficent friend of the Poet; one whose long and
valuable life was spent.in the exemplary discharge of every pub-
lc and private duty ; who, in an age distinguished for agricul-
tural enterprise, was a magnificent and princely improver ; who
sclaced the cares of business with the•cultivation of science and
philosophy, sad whose original and interesting experiments form
an important chapter In the history of the Steam-boat, one of
the gr eatoat improvements in practical navigation since the disco-
very of the Horiner's Compass."
Domes. of Liverpool, whose Tribe/soy Una on the
Death f Burns are, perhaps, the sweetest incense that has been
sprinkled on his grave."
" The Memory of Dr. Comm, the Biographer of the Poet'
and Benefactor of his Family."

" Mr. Wtwaw Tramsarr, the Author of Amster Fair," a Gen-
tleman who was justly described, as not only one of the greatest
Linguists in the Country, but the Author of the moat humourous
Pocm that has appeared since the days of Butler.

" Mr. JAsect GRAT, Author of The rate Clyetvl," a man
whose philanthropy is unbounded, and whose hospitabk doors
were never yet closed against the unfortunate Suns of Genius.
" JOHN HATNP, Esq. a native of Dumfries, of whom Walter
Scott says, in hii Notes to The Lady y' the Lake, that he sur-
passes the efforts of Fergussou, and comes nearest to those of
Burns.'"

" The Rev. W. GILLIMPIT., a Gentleman distinguished for his
poetic powers he descrroing the scenery of his native country."

Various other toasts were given, which our limits
prevent us from enumerating. Mr. Jolts Smccatft,
and another Gentleman, as well as Mr. FINLAYSON,
favoured the company with some of Brims's best
songs, and the •Meeting separated at a late hour,
under the firm conviction that the " evening's amuse-
ments would bear the morning's reation."

Tuesday se'nnight being the Anniversary of the
Poet's birth, the several neighbouring Lodges assena-
hied, agreeably to intimation, on the AK Race-
ground, about eleven o'clock, in separate detach-
ments, bearing their various insignia, and accompa-
nied with bands of 'music. Aftef having been ar-
ranged in due order, they walked in procession to
the scite of the Monument, and there having formed
themselves into an extensive circle, the Most Wm-

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
LETTER 11.
SlR—i have to apologize fo; the hurried, and
consequently very imperfect manner. in which my
Letter to you, of the 29th, was written. I was
anxious that no time might be lost in remov-
ing the very unfavourable impression, which it was
the evident tendency of Colonel MA a LAY.S Letter to
produce. - That Letter, which professes to elucidate
the concise and perfectly correct statement of the
prosecution in question, as given in your Paper of
the 15th inst. seems, in my humble opinion, to be
only calculated to shew "darkness more visible !"
Before I quit this subject, however (now they have
so• kindly led up to my hand), I hope that I shall he
stivessful in throwing on it--a light of a very dif-
r4r-ent tint.
By the advice of the Officer alluded to in my
Letter 'to you of the 29th inst. I wrote Mr. PERRY
'on the 17th June, requesting that he would " in-
stantly retract the insinuations contained in his Letter
to me of the same date, and send me a satisfactory
apology, for having charged me with participatieg
in the composition of the article alluded to."
Having for some days received no answer to this
demand, my friend, on the 20th of June (though
dated on thl, 21st), sent him the following note:
" Sta—Having a communication to make terns from Lieu-
tenant Tarr, of the Royal Staff Corps, I have to request that
you will have the goodness to inform me when and where I
can have the honour of an interview,

" I have the honour. Ste. tee.
• H. P. 12th Royal Lancers."
Next morning Mr. PERRY sent to my friend the
following answer :

"21st June, 1819.
" Stu—ln achno,rledgiug the receipt of your Letter of this
morning, I have the honour to acquaint you, that I am prohi-
bited, by a vote of my brother Officers (with which, I have no
doubt, that Mr. Tarr is by this time acquainted) from having
any communication of a private nature with Mr. TAIT. I3eu-
tenant and Adjutant WHIT; who was dispatched from Hythe
for the purpose of delivering me the opißion and sentiments of
my brother °Seers, connected with Mr. TAIT'S affairs, has
waited op you this morning to explain circumstances, with
which you may not have been acquainted.
I have the honour, Scs,. &c.
" S. A. PERRY, Lieut. Royal Staff Corps."
" To explain circumstances with which you may not
have been acquainted !"—Now, to a certainty, the
denouement of all those mysterious affairs, alluded to
with such singular coincidence,. in the before-men-
tioned article in the Military Register of the 21st
,Itpul, was fully and confidently expected to be made
to my friend, by this Courier Extraordinaire, Lieu-
tenant and Adjutant WHITE !—I strictly enjoined
my friend tb probe the whole affair, with patience
and perseverance, to the very bottom. They met
accordingly; and the denouement, so anxiously and
ea..2erly expected, came out at last !—What was it ?
-Simply and shortly—the vote, referred to in Mr.
Panres'Letter ! !—Here was, indeed, an "explana-
tion of circumstances, with thick qty friend might
not have been acquainted I"
Well, returning to my lodgings on the evening of
the 21st (Monday), Ifound a Le.ter from Mr. Palm,

Me vote above alluded to. This vote purported to
be by the very few Officers of the Corps who, at
that time, happened to be stationed at the depot in
Hythe. This interesting production is in these words:
" Hrnat, lftn Juxr., 1819.
_ _

" Colonel Nicotay having communicated to the Officers of
the Corps, Lieutenant Piaay's Letter, of the lath inst. with
its inclosure from Lieutenant Tat?, they are unanimously of
opinion, that there is nothing in Lieutenant PLAIT'S Letter, of
the 17th, to Lieutenant Tarr, which requires an apology or
retraction ;—they are further of opinion, that Lieutenant Polar
should have no personal communication with Lieutenant Tarr,
if called upon for that purpose.

(Signed) "ANDREW LONG, Major."
I shall not at present discuss the first opinion con-
tained in this minute or note. That may probably
be considered only as a were matter of judgment.,
I may just mention that, of five Officers of high
rank, and considerable experience in the Army, to
whom I submitted Mr. PERRY'S first Letter to me,
nokpne of them disagreed with me in thinking that
it comained a most palpable insult; and conveyed
Mil:l:the grossest manner.—The second opinion,
however, contained in that minute, and which seems
to
,he entirely separated from, and-unconnected with
the opinion first delivered by these Gentlemen, merits
the most serious attention and insestigation.
It is true that bodies of men, as well as indivi-
duals, are entitled to form and to entertain OPINIONS.
The mind is uncontroulable. But the moment these
opinions are formally recorded, certified, and issued
to the world, there cannot remain the vestige of a
doubt, that the parties, whose characters and for-
tunes are involved in, and implicated by them, if
I not untitled to redress, are entitled, at least, to be
informed on what grounds such opinions were founded.
'lbis is a proposition so self-evident, as to require no
kind of demonstration whatever. By the last clause
of this said vote, my character, both as an Officer
and a Gentleman, was most unequivocally and de-
cidedly aspersed. I was held up, in their opinion,
to be a character "with whom a brother Officer should
have no personal communication, if called upon for
that purpose!"
I would, with great deference and respect, request
particular attention to the conduct pursued by this
small conclave of Officers on this point.
It may naturally enough be here presumed, that
had they been actually in possession of grounds sin-
ficient to warrant them in framing and publishing a
.so errrinentrrealculated to blast, for ever,
