Sabrina Island, (discovered by his Majesty's ship
of that name) which recently emerged from the
Ocean, it is feared will cause many fatal accidents to
vessels unacquainted with its situation, and that may
happen to be sailing by it in the night. Captain
MAbON, master of an American ship that arrived at
Plymouth the week before last, states, that he fell in
with it in the night, and had not the weather haen
moderate ( what little wind there was blew off the
island), he certainly should have been wrecked on it.
The persons on watch on the deck, hearing the sea
breaking at a short distance from them, as it °via-
rocks, immediately called all hands, and brought the
vessel to. They then took an observation, and refer-
red to their chart ; but this did not clear up their
doubts, and they very prudently lay to till day-light,
when the phenomenon presented itself to their asto-
nished eyes.
The result of the expedition against the Dutch
island of Java may shortly be expected to reach this
country. Notwithstanding the reports of General
Datameas h .ving completely subjugated the Banta-
mars, it appears by accounts which reached Madras
in April last, that the latter still have detached par-
ties in the interior, and great numbers were constantly
socking to their standard. Some of the native leaders,
who made their'submission, have effected their escape,
and gone back to their friends with increased hatred
against the Dutch, who are said to have exercised
great cruelty towards those they have conquered. At
one of the stockades or forts, all the people found
therein, including women, children, and invalids, were
put to the sword. At the burning of several villages,
where ihe rebels, as they are called, took refuge, the
place was surrounded, and none of the inhabitants
suffered to escape.
In the month of August last, a female negro slave
was pushed into a pond at Antigua, and drowned.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
SlR—in a former paper of your's, you mention that
the Lancashire regiment was inspected by Gen. ENG-
LAND,
on Thursday, and went through their evolu-
tions with precision, kc. you afterwards mention, in
a subsequent paper, that you had made a mistake,
and that it was the Ist Somerset that was inspected
on that day. I must take the liberty of correcting
that assertion likewise, the S.imerset having no rifle
companies. It was the Shropshire that acquitted
themselves on that day to the entire satisfaction of
both Generals ENGLAND and THOMAS, and the admi-
ration of a numerous concourse of spectators, a finer
reginien't in his Majesty's service does not exist.—
The Generals, and a numerous party of Staff Offi-
cers, dined on that day with the Shropshire. The
whole of the Officers a that regiment on Sunday last
waited on the Roscommon Militia in a body, and on
Wednesday the whole of the latter regiment were
entertained in a splendid style by the Salop regiment.
Trusting to your usual candour and i:npartiality, I
trust you will make these facts known to the public
through the channel of your widely circulated Paper.

of Draycot Lodge. The seem.] and third Dances, in
which his Royal Highness joined also, were to the
tunes of the Labyrinth and We'll gang nar Nair to yes

n sem The dancet consisted of about eighteen couple
Lath ; and were cnntinned, with very little intermis-
sion, till two o'clock. There were no card-parties.—
The greatest harmony prevailed throughout the even.
ing—during which the Royal Visitor appeared in
high spirits, and conducted himself with as much
courtesy and attention to every Lady in the Assembly
'as it lie had been her individual partner; nor were
Lady CATHARINE LONG and her amiable daughters
less 'conspicuous for those endearing qualities 'which
sweeten society and give lustre to Nobility. Many
of the Ladies were of the first order of female form
and beauty, and the Gentlemen were neither unworthy.,
nor insensible of their ch. r:ns. The labrary was
elegantly illuminated wi:h variegated lamps, and or.
namented with geraniums, myrtles, and wreaths of
ivy, in a stile which did great credit to Mrs. Nuckut's
taste. Part of the Second Somersetshire Band atten.
ded, and were most ably led by Mr. FLEMING, Master
of the Margate and Ramsgate Assembly Rooms
B Ind. The remainder of the Military Band, seated
in the Colonade, outside of the Library, played during
the intervals of dancing. Mrs. Necet.E refreshed her
numerous guests with cakes and magus ; and ncthing
was wanting on her part or that of Mr. Nocetz, the
M. C. on this occasion„ that could heighten the
pleasures of an entertainment which their patrons and
friends will long continue to remember with delight.
