s •;. SPIRIT OP'TIIE LONDON JOURNALS • A petition flotn• Blackburn, in Lancashire, which, under the phrase of" stagnation of trade," comprehended, or was meant to comprehend, a great multitude of public interests and questions, came before the House of Commons last night, and was introduced by the Member for Newark. The Hon. Gentleman, whose other designation is "Mr. Sadler," lamented that no previous op portunity had occurred for going into an inquiry on the " state of the nation ;" and Colonel Sib thorpe and Mr. Hume were more than com monly indignant, that the House should adjourn without having done any thing of all that had been called for by the necessities of the kingdom. " Nothing," quoth the gallant and enlightened Colonel, " but passing that foolish, detestable, and atrocious Bill, which gave emancipation to those devils incarnate, the Roman Catholics !" Mr. Baring demanded that gentlemen who were so anxious for Parliament to continue its sittings, and to open at this late hour of the Session an inquiry into the whole mass of public affairs, should afford some glimmering at least of the sort of remedy which they would propose for the distresses which they dwelt upon —so as to let the House entertain a conjectural judgment on the possibility of doing good by in vestigation. Mr. Attwood, " a clever man," as it is termed, came out promptly with his cure— of the novelty and efficacy of which an opinion may be formed without much trouble, since it is one on which the majority of thinking persons throughout the country, who are not at the same time interested in the prevalence of a certain course of thought, have long since come to a decision rather different from that of the Honourable Gentleman. Mr. Attwood is for " supplying the public exigencies," —a very plausible expression this, s hich assumes the whole controverted matter—by a larger issue of a paper currency ! The gentleman says that he has no connexion with country bankers. Very likely ; but he is a noted doctrinaire, or, indeed, quack-doctor upon the paper question, and his authority is in the same ratio reduced. What may be that " public exigency" which Mr. Attwood is so anxious to supply ? A mar ket, and nothing but a market. Will an in crease of paper give us that ? There are, ac cording to common sense, just two methods of forcing a market,—viz. by selling things cheaper and producing less. Mr. Attwood's remedy, therefbre, is to increase the amount of circulating medium, that nominal prices may be raised, false credit renewed, and all sorts of productions multiplied! So much for the grand scheme of those who, to realize such schemes, would insist upon a dog-day committee. Now as to specific representations of national ruin. One gentleman affirmed, that the capital of the country was declining ; which Mr. Peel an swered by a simple and striking fact—namely, that the taxable rental of Lancashire had in creased in 13 years from three to four millions, or 33 per cent. Another Member stating that the merchants only sent their ships to sea to pre vent their rotting in harbour at home, Mr. Hus kisson admitted that such might have been the case, if it were not notorious that the ship builders had been constantly adding new mer chant-vessels to those already in existence. This we conceive to be enough. It will be seen that the House of Commons is adjourned till Friday next, so that Parliament will probably be pro rogued about Tuesday week.—Times. The Journal des Debats has a long and a well written article on the discussion in the House of Commons, on ;the affairs of Portugal. " The motion of Sir James Mackintosh was merely an occasion offered to the Opposition, says the writer (if we can still give it that name), of expressing, on the conduct of the Usurper of the Crown of Portugal, the warm and sincere in dignation which it has excited throughout all England. The answer of Mr. Peel is a timid and by no means happy justification of a policy which they dared not disavow, but of which the adoption was certainly a year ago the result of circumstances which exist no longer." From Portugal our French Contemporary proceeds to the East, though he observes that discussion threw little light on the plans of the English Cabinet. After alluding to the campaign of last year, the effect produced by it on Mahmoud, and the fresh efforts of the Russians, the French Journalist adds—" Attentively observing the movement and the shock of these two great bodies, seeing whether one should merely waste its energies in a useless struggle—and disposed perhaps to act, if reverses should threaten the other with too speedy a dissolution—the English Government could, in the acknowledgment of the blockade of the Dardanelles, have a pretext constantly presenting itself for an armed inter vention, which it would be necessary to give reasons for to Europe the moment it could no longer be delayed. Whatever may have been the motive for the conduct of England, it is certain that emancipated Ireland has ceased to be a garrison for English troops, and that the second campaign of the East opens with all the chances to which the combination of a more active policy shall be subject. Now the English pride and commerce begin to feel uneasy at this Russian developement round the mouths of the Bos phorus. The visit of a single vessel by the sailors of the Baltic, who, perhaps, /nay not proceed with all the forms of diplomacy, extorts a long sigh from the British Press, and we know the magic effect of an appeal to the pride of our neighbours with regard to what is most dear and roost:sacred! All these adjacent gulphs, Enos, Kevala, and Saros, added to the Dardanelles, impede the navigation of the Archipelago, and even of the Mediterranean, in such a way, that the Englishlag, accustomed as it is to plough the seas, 'Must feel very much incommoded. From the complaints of subjects to the recrimi nation of Cabinets the inclination is rapid and the passage abrupt." The Journal des Debats alludes to the conversations on the English Stock Exchange, of reinforcements to Admiral Mal colm, and the breaking through the blockade ; bat observes, " that there is a certain public faith in Europe which has made immense pro gress during the last twenty years, and that there are few Governments who now dare to pass from alliance to war by one of those bold opera tions, the memory of which presses for centuries on a people. Let us hope, for the honour of England, that these times are past." We may here observe that we do not believe that the Ministry will act with rashnes.s in a matter of such moment as involving the country in a war with Russia. Ministers will not allow them selves to be influenced in a matter of such mo ment by the swaggering of a few speculators on the Exchange. When war becomes necessary they will obtain the support of the country; but this country is sufficiently strong to be able to display considerable forbearance, before it de cides on having recourse to force. The follow ing observations are important, as we believe affording an indication of the difference of feel- ing with regard to the East, in France and Eng ' land. " Let not the people of London be asto nished at the little sympathy excited in France by all these British complaints against the en croachments of Russia by land and by sea. This may be connected, if you will, with what our neighbours call our fashionable affection for Greece. Be it so. But in truth it is a beauti ful and noble fashion to wish to complete the independence of an oppressed people. Would it, for instance, be better to confine our expedi tion to the Morea to the results which have crowned that of Portugal ? 'Without doing Mahmoud the injustice to compare him with Don Miguel, we will own frankly that we should feel indi g nant at seeing the Morea at the mercy of the first freak of the Sultan, as we have felt indignant at seeing Portugal given up to the promises of Dcn Miguel. Yet the latter had sworn obedience to the Charter and the Crown of his brother, and we have not even obtained from Mahmoud the acknowledgment of what has been actually accomplished. "No ; be fore disengaging ourselves from a treaty which is far from having received the accomplish-' ment which each of the Powers signing it ex pected, let us leave in the East a power suf ficiently strong to finish the work of its political regeneration. Till then all is weakness, ego tism, and shame." The sneer at the paltry in terference of England with Portugal, which led so many of the liberals of that country to sacri fice themselves, in the belief of having our sup port, is not, perhaps, out of place. But the French, who are now so honourable and magna nimous, cannot, surely, have forgotten that but a few years have passed since they were the blind instruments of their Government in the unprin cipled overthrow of the Constitutional Govern ment of Spain ; and that to them, and to them alone, are to be attributed the calamities which oppress the whole Peninsula. We admit that the English Government has acted with silliness ; but we must claim for it, at the same time, the strictet regard for the rights of national inde pence which has been displayed by any Govern ment in Europe, since the termination of the European war.—Morning Chronicle. At a period when deep-rooted ignorance on all the most important subjects which concern the welfare of mankind has so firm a place among the aristocracy of this country & we should not be doing our duty to the public, were we not to call their attention to the Report just published by the " Society for the Diffusion of Useful Know ledge." By the efforts of this excellent institu tion there are now distributed every fortnight among the people of England upwards of 30,000 copies of some Treatise on useful subjects. Hitherto their exertions have been confined to Mathematics, History, and Biography ; but we find that, should their funds increase, it is their intention to circulate tracts on the economy of farms. When we consider the lamentable ig norance of the country-labourer in this country, there can be no species of publication so likely to better the state of that part of our popula tion, and, therefore, there is no Society in favour of which we more earnestly solicit the support of the affluent and of the philanthropist. We for merly called the attention of our readers to the admirable Treatise, written by Mr. Brougham, on The Advantages of Knowledge; it is with equal pleasure we can now refer to the last Trea tise published by the Society, The Life of Sir I. Newton. Report has declared the author of this to be a young man of high connection. To him we say, prosecute the line you have well begun ; should chance place you in a political station, give the same attention to the affairs of the public that you have in this Number be stowed upon science-10u have distinguished yourself already by your success in the softer field of Venus; emulate the reputation your father acquired in the Royal Engineers, by your services to your country in civil life.—lbid.

Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, an inquisition was taken at the White Hart, at Willesden, before Tilos. STIRLING, Esq. Coroner, touching the death of George Mason, a youth aged 19 years, which took place under the following truly dreadful circum stances. The Jury first viewed the body of the ill fated youth, which laid at the above house; its ap pearance excited the utmost horror and sympathy in the breasts of all present, being literally in so ema ciated a state that the bones nearly protruded through the skin. The following evidence was taken Mr. Catherine Hallett, residing at Willesden, de posed, that on Saturday last she saw the deceased lying in a field which nearly faces her house. His not quitting the situation for several hours excited her attention, and on going up to him she was shocked at his emaciated deplorable appearance. Witness put several questions to him respecting his condition, in answer to which he, with difficulty, said, that a few weeks previously he had left his mother, who was a widow, with several children, residing at Bartfold, in Essex; that she was unable to support him ; that he had in vain endeavoured to procure employment in London; that, after suffering great privations there, he left it, and proceeded to Edgware, in the hope of getting something to do in the hayfields; that he applied to several farmers at Edgeware, Stanmore, Kensall-green, and other places, describing his destitute state, but, notwith standing, he was unable to get work; that his situa tion at length became so pressing-, that he was com pelled to beg a morsel of food at -the cottages he passed ; and that he had wandered about the country till that morning, when he was unable to proceed any further, from exhaustion and pains in the limbs and stomach, which necessitated him to lay down in the field where witness first saw him. She compas sionated his unhappy, forlorn situation, and provided him with some warm coffee and bread and butter. The coffee he swallowed with avidity, but the latter he could not eat. Witness subsequently endeavoured to get him a bed at the Green Man, but the landlord, on hearing for whom it was intended, said he was full. Her application at the Crown public-house was attended with the same success. Towards even ing, rather than he should remain exposed to the night air, she had him removed to a barn attached to her premises. In the course of the night she gave him some gruel; but he was unable to retain it on his vomach. About three o'clock on Sunday morn ing his breath became very bad. Witness, being of opinion that lie was dying, sent for Mr. Sheppard, a medical gentleman, who attended, and having pro cured him a lodging at his house, sent him medicines, with port wine and other strengthenin g cordials. The poor lad, however, only survived till Tuesday. The Jury expressed their surprise at a fellow creature being actually starved to death surreended by plenty, and questioned the witness, whom they highly commended for the consideratien she had shown to the unhappy youth, whether she was aware he had applied to any parish for relief. Mrs. Hallett said that she questioned him, and found that he had received three shillings in the period of three weeks from parochial funds, but what parishes he (deceased} was unable to say. The Jury, after commenting upon the horror of the case, returned a verdict--" That the deceased died of starvation and cold." MERCHANT TAILORS' COMPANY. A splendid entertainment was given on Thursday by this opulent and patriotic Company. The festival is an annual one, upon the interesting occasion of the election of Scholars from Merchant Tailors' School, to fill up the vacancies which have taken place during the year in the fellowships and exhibitions with which the School is endowed at the two Uni versities. The present year is an unusually rich ene, seven vacancies having occurred at St. John's Col lege, Oxford ; and Pembroke Hall, Cambridge. —The proceedings at the School in the morning were of the most gratifying character. At seven o'clock a sumptuous banquet was served in the Hall. Among the distinguished members of the Company and their guests we noticed-- The Duke of Wellington, the Marquis Camden, the Earl of Eldon, the Earl De la Warr, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Llandaff, Lord Tenterden, Lord Encombe, Lord Ashley, Mr. Secretary Peel, Sir John Nichol!, Mr. Justice Park, Mr. Justice Gaselee, Sir H. Hardinge, Mr. Herries, M r . Court nay, Admiral Sir J. P. Beresford, Sir C. Wetherell, Sir C. Morgan, Sir C. Flower, Wnt. Ward, Esq., M.P., J. Capel, Esq., M.P., Samuel Drew, Esq., Governor, and J. H. Palmer, Esq., Deputy- Go vernor of the Bank; Wm. . Astell, Esq., Deputy Chairman of the East India Company, the Rev. Dr. Wynter, President, and the two Senior Fellows of St. John's College, Oxford. The usual loyal toasts having been drunk, The MASTER said the next toast he should have the honour to propose was, the health of his Grace the Duke of Wellington.—(Loud applause.)—He felt that he was pronouncing no extravagant panegy ric upon the Noble Duke when he said that neither in the present day, nor in past ages, had any man rendered services so important and various to his country. The toast was then drunk with loud ac clamations. The Duke of WELLINGTON-Lt proportion to the satisfaction I have always felt to have had it in my power to attend to the invitations with which you have honored me from time to time is the pain which I now experience in being obliged to absent myself at so early an hour, in obedience to his Ma- jesty's command. I have never come amongst you since the first moment when you did me the honour to admit me as a member of your Corporation with out admiring the wise and benevolent application of the funds at your disposal. I cannot but be sensible to the approbation of such a Society, and I beg to return you my thanks for the testimony you have given me of it this evening. Song—" The Monument and St. Paul's," Mr. Fitzwilliam. During theprogress of which the Duke of Welling ton and Mr. Secretary Peel withdrew. The MASTER then proposed the " Health of the Masters and Examiners of the School," which was drunk with great applause. The Rev. J. W. BELLAMY begged to return their sincere and grateful acknowledgments. The MASTER then gave, " St. John's College, Oxford, arid the health of the Rev. Dr. Wynter, the President, arid the Rev. Messrs. Woodgate and Bell, the two Senior Fellows." The Rev. Dr. WYNTER returned thanks. The MASTER next proposed, in a neat speech, the " Health of the Marquis Camden," whom he highly complimented for the noble sacrifice he had made of private interest to the public welfare.— (Drunk with much applause.) The MASTER next proposed " The health of the Earl of Eldon."--(Applause.) The Earl of ELDON returned thanks. Several other toasts were drunk, and the festivity of the evening was kept up to a late hour, when the Master quitted the Chair, and the company sepa rated, highly gratified with their entertainment. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London Vein Price Current of yesterday.)

The estimated sales of Muscovades this week are only 1800 hhds. and try. In the Refined Market there is little varia- ti(.n in price ; the demand is still very limited, the whole sale Grocers only purchasing fur their immediate wants, and the exporters not purchasing on account of the un favourable reports of the Continental Markets.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE• GUILDHALL. 00 1 SILVER GlLT.—Yesterd a y Mrs. Ann L ea p; e. fresh importation f rom t h e " b r i g ht gem ocean," was charged before Mr. Alderman D r with offering a gilt sixpence, in lien of a half-seve reign, to Mr. Teeley, landlord of the. French W ill ' Barbican. The offence with which Mrs. Ann Leary stood charged amounted only to a simple attempt at frit' for the sixpence b e i ng goo d current co i n of the real' . hence the transg ress i on was w h o ll y b e yond the el nizance of the Mint; and although there is a la",„ existence to punish th e o ff er i ng s il ve r coins itw; diced into a resembl ance o f gu i neas , half gm and seven-shilling pieces, yet, as this same law formed before the introduction of gold coins begie this Royal title, it cannot reach them.

Mr. Henshawe, from the Coach and Horses, CPAl well-street, where Mrs. Leary averred sh e had ta k 'i it in change for a sovereign on the same morni said that she certainly had tendered it to hitn, t'e h i discovered the fraud, i n co ns equence of which. t h , changed the sovereign, and the silver found upon was what he had given to her.

She was fully committed. The accounts from the Plantations continue very un favourable, and the estimated duty has fallen to '70,0001. INDIGo.—The public sale yesterday, consisting of 335 chests, went off better than was anticipated ; it consisted of Bengal and Oude Indigo; the latter sold about 3d. under the market prices, and about 6d. per lb. under the last sale's prices to 3d. discount. The sellers declared that with two small sales advertised, about 150 chests, there would be no Indigo forced on the market by the specula tors, who have lately acted in a body : this representation appears to have a favourable effect on our market, and as many orders are in town which were unexecuted on ac count of the fears entertained of the speculators selling, we may now expect the orders will be executed forthwith. The Indigo declared for next East India House sale is 3,800 chests ; the inspection commences on Tuesday next. PRICES OF HOPS.-June 12. Kent Pockets 41 16s. 51. Ss. to 61 16s.
