SPIRIT OF fIIE LONDON JOURNALS. Dr. Samuel Birch, " late President of Sion Cel lege," has written a somewhat intemperate letter in an Evening Paper, on the subject of the ancient re cords appertaining to the Scotch Kirk, now detained in that College, and, as it appears to us, of no use to any one. The Doctor has not got a very logical bad, for he says that " he feels it right to conira d-L't thus publicly the misrepresentations which the Gelter.,l Assembly of the Church of Scotland have stuitiously set forth to answer their own purpose ;" whereas the Doctor only argues against their state ment, as thus—that if the papers are theirs, they lave their legal remedy, &c. &c. But to argue against hypothetically, is rtit to contradict Neither is it Sc easy a course to adopt a legal remedy us the Doctor imagines. It was perhaps deemed less trn,,blesnme to endeavour to shame the Governors of Sion College out of the farther retention of the papr,,, - by mentioning the matter in Parliament, than to prosecute a Chancery suit. We would ad vise the people of Sion College, if Dr. Birch be no longer their President, not to take him as there ad viser ; for if they do, they will he - SUre to be led into :4crape, by one who cannot speak of the property of these papers without upbraiding the whole Scotch mat ion wi:h that " love of money which once pre vailed to the selling of an unfortunate King."4—'. Times. fHE KIRK of SCOTLAND and SION COLLEGE. (From an Evening Paper.) Sia,—The General Assembly of the Church of Scot land having authorised a statement to be pulkshed relative to certain ancient records thereof, depoaired in Sion Col lege, and having applied to Parliament on the subject, I f,el it right to contradict, thus publicly, the misrepresenta tion which, in both cases, they have studiously set forth, to answer their own purpose. They a.surne two thines, both of which remain to be proved ; first, that these ancient records were the original property of the kirk ; next, that they came dishonestly into the possession of Archibald Campbell, the-donor of them to Sion College. In regard to the first, if they s are lent on establishing that point, they have their legal re medy, without calling on-Parliament preposterously to do t: at for them which, by means of the law of the land, they ouzla to do for themselves. fa regard to the other, it must surely be thought that the General Assembly of that day recognized Mr. Camp right of possession, when they condescended to treat with him for the purchase of the records, and the nego ciation was only broken . Off by that love of money which once prevailed to the selling of an unfortunate king, but would not allow them to buy the records of their own kirk. II id Mr. Campbell come improperly by them, how cam• thy to abandon all legal attempt to recover them, and to suffer him to escape unprosecuted. It remiins to Le seen whether Parliament will interfere to determine a right which an ordinary court of law might settie, and to give away property which the par:ies claim int*, onlv found it too dear to purchase. . . . - 1 am satisfied of this, that Parliament cannot justly in terfere; that the kick have no claim whatever to these records; that they were not dishonestly obtained nor dis honourably withheld, aed that the governors of Sion (7,olege would not morally be justified in either giving them up or in allowing copies or collations to be made with the partial ,blireviates in possessive of the kirk. SAMUEL BIRCH, D D., Late President of Sion Coliege. The preposition to increase the salaries of the Scotch Judges was very properly withdrawn by Mr. Peel on Thursday- evening. We mean to cast no refh-ction on those eminent persons, trot we argue generally, from the present state of the country, that whilst we are endeavouring to accommodate our selves to a more solid, bat less abundant circulation, it would be preposterous to increase the salaries of any public functionaries whatever. All such ought rather to look to a diminution than an augmentation, and to an extension also of the plan of retrenchment ; so that the nation may be left at ease, though the illoney for conducting its internal concerns be less in quantity than was the case before cash payments were resumed and small notes called in. The refusal to augment the salaries of the Scotch Judges ought to draw back those of the English Judges to their told amount : as the precedent of 1826 cannot be followed throughout, it ought to be reversed. We might hope, too, that economy will be practised in the changes about to be introduced in the Court of Chancery. Government should look to the nation as not likely to be able to supply great and numerous salaries, is e will not say out of exhausted means, but out of a narrowed circulation. The interest on the debt we cannot diminish honestly, except is so far as we reduce the capital ; but we may reduce our expenditure, and we should keep our eye fixed upon that state of things which existed in the year 1792. From thence we came out, and thither we ought to return. The speech a the old Lord Chancellor on Lord Lyndhurst's Bill was interesting; yet few will he cons ineed by his Lordship's argument, that as there'have always been delays in Chancery, there always must be such. The proceedings in the other Courts were once much more dilatory titan at pre sent ; but legislative enactments have quickened their pace.—lbid. In the House of Lords last night, the Privileges or the Corporation of the City of London were the subject of discussion. In the Common Council on Thursday, high ground was taken ; but there is nothing like knowing both sides. Lord Durham observed, the order for the production of Accounts of the Rereires and Expenditure of the City was made "in consequence of an application from the Corporation for funds, because it was incapable of carrying into execution the engagement it hadC entered into in 1823, to complete London Bridge and its approaches, and now it came to Parliament to ask for one million more. The Bill stated in the preamble, that the City had no funds to carry into execution its engagements, and it was, therefore, right then to move for Accounts to prove the want of funds The City was not e , as ued before Parliament ; but it can - le before Rit 11,.. - -lent to ask a favour; it forced itself on the „„,1„ ‘ -rittion of Parliament, by asking for an additional rm ;,lion of money, to enable it to bnild London Bridge. - It complained, when it asked this, of being in a state of bankruptcy, which ought to he proved betke the grant was sanctioned." S evem l other Peers considered the prtneedinci ° s of the Cor poration of the City very unjustifiable. Lord li a l mes _ bitry observed, " that the City had come to their Lordships in forma panperis, and requested permis sion from them to tax the public to the extent of 60,000/.a year for a period perhaps of thirty or forty years ; and it was at the least necessary to show that they had not funds to answer the expcnue in any other way than by means of this Nil, which they nov,- called on the House to pass." Lord Lonsdaie " considered the proceeding of the City the most extrath7flinary he had ever heard of." It strikes us that the Corporation would have acted more prudently in reserving the assertion of their right to give no account of the manner in which they administer their property to a more fitting oc, casion. The stoutest stickler for Corporation privi leges will hardly pretend that Corporations, with regard to their property, are more. absolute than private individuals; but when private individuids alaproach the Legislature for aid, it never occurs to cleat that they ought not to disclose the state of t heir affairs.-3forning Chronicle. - . • • When we asserted in our number of Thursday, that the impartiality professed by the Government on the question of Mr. O'Connell's right to . sit for Clare was more in semblance than reality, we spoke advisedly ; and when we asserted that exertions were made in certain quarters to ensure the presence of the avowed opponents of the claim, we spoke from direct personal knowledge of the fact. We admit that the declaration made by the Secretary for the Home Deprtmeut, that the usual Ministerial Circulars ( which enjoin and secure the attendance of all offi cial and all expectant Members; of all Placemen is esse, and all Placemen in posse), were not issued, is perlectly true—that would have been too undis guised an avowal of the feeling which it was de sirable to conceal —or, to avail ourselves of a hack neyed but intelligible expression—such a step would have been too bad. Bnt we must once more repeat, that certain skilful and cautious veterans in Parlia mentary tactics—nun too sagacious to mistake the inclinations of the Dii majorum Genlium, and too wary to act without a moral certainty that their ac tion was in conformity with those inclinations—lid; by word and deed, press the necessity of securing what they called an overwhelming majority in ev6y quarter which they thought accessible to their in . - • fluence or their arguments. We must also repeat, that we know that to an application made to the usual quarter, by a Member of a Ducal Family, havot,r; a seat in the House, for an opportunity of , pairing off, a refusal was given, although common Parliamentary and official courtesy makes a negative , in such a case a matter of rare occurrence.--Ibid. A discussion of more warmth than usual on the subjtct of the grant to Maynooth College took I place last night. Lord Mandeville, who is a saint of the first order, thought " if they persisted in such a course as voting money for the distiemination of the principles of a religion which they:declared to be founded in error, they would Erring down the wrath of God on themselves and the whole country."— His Lordship seems to tte. quite familiar with the councils of Heaven. \Vlmat an idea his Lot dship has of the Almighty ! It may or it may not be right to vote money for._ ;Maynooth College; but because two or three hundred individuals, possessed of po- ! litical power, choose to vote 8 or 9,009/. a-year for a particular religion, the Divine vengeance is to overtake twenty millions of people, who cannot I prevent the grant except by incniring the guilt of rebellion ! There is a very happy exposure quoted by Bale, from St. Ambrose, of the bai reasoning of a Roman Priest, when Rome was Pagan, who contended, like Lot d Mandeville, that If any one listened to the Christian doctrine, this city would be destroyed by - a judgment of Heaven. - Bigots of all ages are the same !—lbid. The Common Council of the City of Landon ap pear to be in a dilemma. The House of Lords have ordered them to produce their accounti—they re fuse, and plead, - in bar to the production of the ac counts, their privileges: we hope, however, that the House of Lords will compel them to produce their accounts; and we hope that the House of Lords will at the sane time tell the Common,Coun cil that it does not care one farthing for the city of London privileges. 'This Corporation, like all the Corporations in the country, is a great nuisance and ought to be abated.. We hope the Parhameet will get rid of all Corpoiate privileges, as they are called, in all parts of the country. Let any one, only for a moment, consider that a man cannot becomes trader within the City walls, but he is liable to be called upon to become what is called free of sonic hum bug Company, and for that freedom he must pay from 50/. to 100/. We call this robbery, azd yet the Common Councilmen, at the Common-hall, where so much dull trash is continually beii spoken, talk of the freedom of trade, liberty, &c. The lan guage of the Scripture ought to be applied to them, " o unto ye, hypocrite 4 I" to talk of the' freedom of trade—of the free importation of corn—of liberty, &c., and, before you allow a man the freedom of keeping a shop within the City walls, you rob him of 50/. or 100/., and nick-name him Pin-maker or a Fishmonger. We hope that Smithfield Market will be removed in spite cf Alderman Wood's talk to the contrary.—ihlorniug Herald. - - -- - GERMAN PAPERS. LOWE It 57,13[074 V, MA I- 4.—Business in the commercial cities on the coast, and in the interior, is like the wintry weatlier which has given way to spring weather only within a few days, and we have now a prospect of Amp], harvest as far as the eye can reach. Corn hardly main tains its price, and nobody now lopes for war prices. The fluctuations in the prices of stocks were only transitory, and they are now rising again. Why should they not? The policy of the English Government, with prompt and surprising energy, has restored unanimity in the interior, and can new direct all its attention and power to foreign affairs. It may he that internal uniotl is not permanently established, as the Irish Clergy gain nothing by the new law, but lost part of their influence and consider,tit.n, as Ireland still remains tributary to England, where its land-owners, its merchants, and its creditors reside, as the wretched condition of the Irish peasantry is by no means improved, but rather made worse by the lose of the elective franchise, and as the feeling of independence in the superior classes of the Irish is strengthened by the late events. However, let the future bring what it may, the Br;tish Empire note sees its internal union established, and can support its foreign relations with the power of 120 millions of subjects, and by resources of art such as were never possessed or even known before. _ _ Who will be inclined to enter the lists with such a power if it decidedly expresso) its will, and in case of nee I brings hundreds of milliOns of dollars to enforce - its will? And will England desire war in Europe ivhen it call maintain pe ice in a manner conformable to its own interest without war? On these grounds it is Le lieved here that even in the event of the dissolution of the Turkish empire, the reciprocal political interests of the several States and the new arrangements to be made there, will be regulated in an amicalde mann e r. On the same grounds, we do not look for any rapid improvement of commerce, and hope at the most fir an inei eased exporta tion to North America, in consequence of a reduction in the import duties. The number of births in the kingdom of Hanover last year was 53,597, being an exe,ss of 14,274 above the ntnnbtr of deaths. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-UOUSE. On Wednesday a young man, apparently 18 or 19 years of age, named Thomas Wont; was put to the bar on a cliary of having uttered a forged Cheque at the Batik of England, knowing it to he forged. One of Mr. Freshfield's clerkscoaducted the pro secution on the part of the Bank. • William Obadiah Wheeler, a clerk in the Bank of England, &posed that on Saturday afternoon the prisoner presented what purported to he cheque from Messrs. Parrinton and Son, account ants, 16, King-street, Cheupside, for the sum of U. 13s. 9d. The name was written " Parrintin," or the "o" was formed like rtn " i." Tl:e witness considered that the forgery was nut at all like Messrs. Parrinton's mode of drawing cheques, and that it hardly could have been successful. The cheque was directed to be paid to Mr. Ridgway, or bearer. Witness asked the prisoner .yhether he was Mr. Rigdway. He replied that he was not. Witness then asked him Nvhet her he - received the cheque for Mr. Ridgway. He•replied in the affir mative. Witness then caused him to be taken into custody. - The officer who apprehended the prisoner de posed; thatAlle latter, when questioned about the cheque, :stated that he had found it on Snowhill. Witness asked him whether he knew Messrs. Par rinton and Son, and NI, as ausweted that he did. Witness•went to search the prisoner's lodgings at No. 38, Queen-street, Holborn, and found there a number of !dank Bank of England cheques. These cheques were in sheers, containing each a certain number of cheques, numbered consecutively. One sheet of the blank cheques was one cheque short. The forged cheque produced was the counterpart of the shee:: It filed up the space exactly, and was of the number next to that of the cheque that fol lowed. . Richard _Strickland, who keeps a coffee-house, or eoffee,shop, ut No. 38, Queen-street, Holborn, de posed, that the prisoner.had slept at his house about 10. days, and had slept there one night before he be gan to be a lodger regidarly.l- On the fOilowing morning the !+er% ant found in the bed-room, after the prisouer had quitted it, a sheet of blank .Bank cheques, and_the. witness &lit it . to the Bank. . A clerk to Messrs. Piirrinton proved the. cheque to be a forgery. The . • prisoner had, he stated, been in their employment occasionally as n sort of light porter. He was remanded, at the request of the prosecu tors, for further examination.

(From the London New Priee Current of yesterday.) SUGAR.-There has been a general and extensive de mand for all desct iptions of Sugar this week ; the transac tions in St est India, in East, in Foreign, and in refined, are all on the most extensive scale; the wholesale and re tail grocers appear to have been entirely out of stock. The demand for export has also been extensive, and it is -sup posed that considerable parcels of the Mauritius have bees taken on speculation; tl'e very reduced prices of every de scription of produce attracting the attention of the capita lists as investments, anticipating a:•revival in commerce and higher prices. The sales of West India Muscovadei this week have been 3,000 hhds. anti tierces, and the pur chases, it is stated, would have been more extensive, had there been a better supply of new good qualities. The Market is firm, but we cannot quote any material alteration in the currency. In the Refined Market this week the purchase! are so considerable that the stock is now very much reduced, and the holders are obtaining a slight ud vance, both on the low and the fine goods.—Molasses rather higher.
