TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Mr. Estroa—As many improvements have often taken place,
and many grievances redressed in the various branches of the public ,
eervice,by useful hints throws out through the medium of the
prms,you will, I feel assured, not refuse the insertion of this letter,
if you think that by its publication you might be forwarding a just
and deserving cause, in drawing the attention of the compete's'
andiesillesio the subject I ant about laying before ybu, and which
bebnprotteeted with-one of the last acts of a Prince whom loss win
'belong mourned, cannot, I should hope, remain unattended to.
His Royal Highness, our (ate much lamented Commander-in-
Chief; desirous of rewarding the long services of a clam of Officers
on whom be was pleased to bestow the appellation of meritorious, ob-
tained his Majesty's commands, and 'the General Order, dated
Horse Guards, 27th December. it 126, was the result of his Royal
Highness's kind interposition. The old Lieutenants were offered
promotion with unattached rank, but with greatly diminished no;
sources orsztatente. The acceptance was optional It is true. but
those at all tonversant with military matters, are well aware that
ia such cases, what is offered and meant as a boon, cannot well be
reined. Thus have upwards of Fifty Lieutenants been raised in
rut, but wit► less means of adding to the consideration that that
rink bestows. The difference between the old and new rate of
Wilsey is indeed materially great, for the one offers a reepeCtable
ewipetesey, white the other barely allows of the common comforts
Ml(rugal life. especially when a family follows with its little at-
tending claims. The change so earnesty desired Is looked up to
with Coofidence, and it is An „hailing the return of his Grace the
Duke of Wittotetort totle nonmisand oldie Army that that feeling
is indulged. Claitis respeallelly sewed, if damned past lit themselves.

tains will he taken loco cileddaration by his Grace, anti that the
no Me of Wimp will be spade applicable to than.

Rated this day, having mwe than realized our most sanguine etpic-
tatione in theexcellenee of sport, and the general bedtime, of di"
the only soarer of disappointment being the absence df hii
altitr.etiair Leine*" the Duke of Sum: and his Grace the Duke of
the former of whom was prevented by the earl, de-
parture of the Queen of Wurtetnberg, sod the latter by oilleial busi-
ness in London. Great credit is due to the Noble Stewards for
the splendid manner in which they have executed the dutiell as-
signed them, and to the Dyke of Devonshire in particular, for the
agreeable finale to the week's amusements, afforded by the free bail
given by his Grace this evening at the Mension-hoese to the Ladies.
The venerable judge, Mr. Lockwood, officiated for the 52d year,
and appeared to perfotm the difficult office with as much alacrity as
ever. It would be unjust to pass ever the munificent conduct of
the Corporation. Their liberal and provident attention to every
thing that comprehended the comfort of the visitors and furtherance
of the sport is beyond all praise; in this respect they surpass every
sporting town in the kingdom. It is gratitying to find, that their
liberality ha" been in "nine degree requited by the sale of tickets for
the grand stand, which has produced them about .6",900, and would
have bees considerably more had the stand been capable of holding
more than were crammed into it en the St. Leger day. The new
Betting-rooms were also well supported, the books 'hewing near

A serious accident betel Lord Vitawilliam's Tickhill on Sunday
last, he was leading a gallop for Kit Cat and Males, when he bolted,
and made a spring as the ditch and chains which separate the courses,
but not clearing them, struck his off fort leg so violently against the
rains, that be broke the kart pan, and will very probably be shot ;
at all iveuts, he is spoiled as a racer ; the rider, young Cliff, escaped
with lade injury, in consequence of the chain giving way. 'ilia

entered.

The value of the stakes wnn during the week by Mr. Petre's

tinuatloo of their excellent series of the St. Leger winners, from
the year of Filho des Puta. Before the 8100 Plate was run for,
Mr. Pere generously intimated, that if his horse won it, he should

the neighbourhood is, that after the defeat at Sedgemoor, the Doke
and Lord Lumley quitted their horses at Weodyeats, when the
former, disguised as a peasant. wandered hither. He dropped his
gad anag.bos jo a paa.tield, which was afterwards found, full of
gold piece; and btought to Mrs. Uredale, of Horton. One of the
finders bid fifteen pounds for half the contents or value of it. The
' Duke went on the Island, as it is called, a cluster of small farms in
the middle of the heath, and there concealed himself in a deep
ditch, under the ash. When the pursuers came up. a woman who
lived in a neighbouring cot gave information of his being some.

The Right Hem Lord Yarborough, on Wednesday, paid pe
and laid up for the winter, his frigate yacht, the Falcon. His
Lordship, during the last simmer, has visited Lisbon and Gin
braltar ; and in the beginning el the month, accompanied by
several of the yachts of the Royal Yacht Clab, visited Cherbourg,l
at the opening of the new ba,las and launching of a three-decked
ship. The works et Cherbourg were destroyed by the English in i
1755. They were afterwards resumed, on a stupendous scale, by
Louis XVI. and carried on till the Revolution, when their pro-
gress wu Interrupted; since which they have been going en with.
great spirit, and two immense basins, building slips, and the decks
connected with them, have been completed. The basins ate ex-
cavated out of granite rocks ; one is thirty feet deep, and the ether
sixty feet deep; the ships are launched into, and docked out of,
the smaller one, which will contain about sixteen sail of the !me.—
The larger basin is for the Sect, when ready for sea, in which
twenty-four sail of the line can be moored with the greatest ease,
by means of anchors inserted in the granite, and, when wanted,
can be at sea in a few hours. The two basins communicate with
each other, and with the harbour. The covers over the dips and
docks are on • grand and magnificent scale; they are erected on
granite piers, with the roofs constructed on a must excellent prin•
ciple, and executed in a very superior style ; they are regularly
slated, each roof having a number of rows of light., each row con-
taining twenty-seven windows. There are two three•docked ship,
and two ships of 100 guns ortvio decks, building; they are consi-
dered of a most beautiful form, and are of very large dimensions.
The length en their lower decks is Sl7 feet, rod breadth S 7 feet.
There are likewise building frigates at very large dimensions, and
several very hrge ;team boats

Covent Garden will be very strong, so far as tragedy
is concerned, having no less than four most excellent
tragedians engaged for this season : via. Messrs. YOUNG,
KEAN, CHARLES Kasaat.r., and WARD. The mane-
g,_er has engaged that most excellent actress. Miss
KELLY. Miss Humus, the celebrated singer, is
also engaged.
CHARLES Kasisca's attraction at the English Theatre
in Paris has been prodigious. Tne receipts have been
nearly SOU each evening that he has performed; and,
atter deducting Mt. per night for the expense, Mr.
K ZNIsLa receives a moiety of the remainder.

Young *ZAN, who is to appear. for the first time on
any stage, in the character of Young Aortal, next Mon•
day, at Drury-lane Theatre, is the son of the great
actor. He has been educated during the la.t five jests,
by Dr. KIIATY, at Eton, and on his retirement from
thence, received the highest testimonials from the head
master and his private tutor. for. the rectitude of his
conduct ; and also, by way of reward fsir the advance-
nmt he made in-classical learning, presents of books,
and other remembrances, not only from his masters, but

from his fellow students. Althotgh.little more than 18
years of age, hi% voice is extremely sweet *and powerful,
and his style of acting is said, by those who have seen
him rehearse, to be of the same school with his father.

Mr. Maystws, the Comedian, has determined that
his mimic powers shall lie fallow for one season
at least. It is not his present iotention to be AS Home to
his friends at the Lyceum during the ensuing spring.—
He has embarked in the regular drama, under the ban.
ners of his friend Paws, at Drury-lane Theatre, where,
with LISTON and Dowroo, he will sharer the honours
of the comic Muse.

The last advice given by a person who was well
known on the turf, and who died a few years ago, to
his son was—never bet upon the favourite.
Monday night at the waling of the tatoo, a crowd of
young men and boys, who were Idllossing the music
through the streets of HAlifat, as is common, were sud-
denly attacked by forty or fifty soldiers of the 6th foot,
quartered there, and driven back, many of them ♦ound.
eci, and others much bruised.
