SPIRIT CF THE LONDON JOURNALS. The war undertaken by. Russia against Turkey is not a subject on which we rejoice to meditate : but its importance forces it on the attention of most Englishmen, and the perverse notions entertained by some people, with regard to its bearing upon the interests of this country anti of Europe, require to ,be watched, if they cannot be corrected. No man at all acquainted with Russian history or policy doubts that Constantinople has long been marked by the Statesmen of St. Petersburgh for their prey. This - desire has grown out of previous aggrandize ments achieved by Russia during little more than half a century, and every step of her armies south ward has but served to stimulate and encourage her to the enterprise. Fresh argument springs conve niently out of recent conquest. As Russia has extended her frontier south towards the Euxine, and westward along the shores of that sea to wards the Danube, the freedom of one, and the command of the other, became objects of " just anxiety" with a Power which, had she been forced to remain at a distance from them, would have had do pretence for acting on any such " anxiety." , s— The " freedom" of the Euxine—swhich means, in certain quarters, its independence of all con trol but that of Russia—requires that the Bospho rus, the. Sea of Marmora, and the Dardanelles, should have the enjoyment of equal " freedom ;" for they are so many paddocks en the Euxine trade. But of these various locks the master key is Constantinople. So (we are told with great frankness by a Russian General Officer) it is impossible to keep a sap hold of Con stantinople, without occupying Asia Minor also. Thus by la :answerable logic has it been proved to ins ; t eat to Secure a free vent for the exports of 'Odessa, Smyrna alai Rhodes must be held by Mus covite garrisons ! Now it is not by any means cri rninal in Russia to feel the above cravings for mari time conquest, nor would it be an offence against the laws of nations in Grea t Britain to wish for th e possession of Copenhagen, the Belt, and the Sound. ut suppose that, on one plea or another, she had transported her whole army to Hanover, and then moved it across the Elbe into Holstein, and issued a manifesto declaring that she would have " secu rities" horn the King of Denmark for the free dom" of the Baltic, and indemnities for her expence in supporting the said demand of -securities by an array which threatened Denmark trial destruction. What, we ask, would be the course of Russia under such circumstances ? Would she listen to the fol lowing argument for preferring peace to an armed vindication of her own interests, and of those of all the 'north of Europe ? " If the trade of the two countries (England aed Den mark) with Russia be compared, that of" England is of much greater importance to Russia than is that of Den mark." Therefore by all means let England subjugate Denmark, " because it never can be worth the while of us Russians to interrupt oar peace with England, for the sake of a-ening some possible danger to our intercourse with Denmark." A ludicrous disparagement of the effect upon Great Britain, arisinc, out of a conquest of Turkey by the Russians, and in the precise terms we have used above, has been employed to dissuade the British Government from being more than spectators of this portentous war. The whole conflict, with, its incalculable results, is looked at in no other light but as er possible preliminary towards interrupting for a time our commercial intercourse with Turkey in Europe. The command over the whole eastern portion of the Mediterranean is nothing—the addi lion of so much coast of a maritime position and depot so impregnable as that which embraces the entire Euxine to the mouth of the Dardanelles, is nothing,—the consequent ascendancy over Egypt, nothing,—the general aggrandizement and prepon derance nothin , —with Greece,• too, in that case, a Russian province' Why then it is needless to urge one objection against any system of conquest by any Power, the most enormous, under any condition or circumstance of human affairs ; and the whole policy of Europe for centuries has been childish, when it referred to the usefulness of some sort of balance be tween States. It is untruly said that England in cure a le,is prominent obligation than many of the continental powers, in re,isting the designs of Rus sia. England is nearer to the scene of action than any of them. Part of her colonial empire is close at hand. Her commerce is present on the very scene; and what is England herself but English commer cial industry We affirm that if England but says peremptorily to Russia, you roust nor extend your frontier one inch beyond its present limit on the side of Turkey, other States, now passive or silent, will be ready- to echo and to support us. Insist on jus tice from Turkey to the Czar, defend the real free dom of his flag and merchandise from Odessa to where they launch into the Mediterranean. Let us defend with _equal vigour the integrity of Turkey a rid the independence and sovereignty of the Porte.— Times. Mr. Hume brought the Corn Laws before the House last night. A great change has taken place public opinion on this subject of late years. The landholders be g in t o p erce i ve th a t a ll attempts to thrive at the expense of the industry of the country must prove abortive; and the farmers are very ge nerally persuaded that the Corn Laws afford them no roil protection. Mr. Hume proposed a fixed duty on importation in place of the present system, the duty to be lowered a shilling every year. Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald eulogised the law of last year, by the operation of which " an extraordinary equality of prices had been obtained—such an equality as marked the effect of the late deficient harvest from the consequences of the deficiencies of all preceding years." He contended that Mr. Hume's fixed duty could not be enforced in case of scarcity, and quoted the second Letter of Mr. Tooke to Lord Grenville, just published. Mr. Tooke does, certainly, allow the impossibility of enforcing a duty in a period of sear&ty ; hut it would have been as well if the Right Hon. Gentleman had stated also, that Mr. Tooke concludes his letter with observing, " that ell attempts of the landed interest to secure a per manently. high price by legislative restrictions must prove abortive. And after a repetition of experi ments, attended with injury to the public, and with disappointment to the agriculturalltlasses, it will be found that the system most beneficial to all interests will be a trade perfectly free, or subject ordy to such a moderate fixed duty as, serving the purpose of Revenue to :flit State in ordinary times, may he re tritted without inconvenience in periods of de.liolo" So convinced are the agriculturists of the trthii of Mr. Tooke's position, and so dissatisfied are they with the working of the gorn Bill, which pleases Mr. Fitzgerald, that they are now in many places Kent they have been some time in the field) petitioning for a different sort of protection, namely, a permanent commutation of tithes—a burden which presses .heavily on them in times of sear ei:y, when they are competing with tithe-free nations, and when a deficiency of crop renders an adequate remuneration the more necessary to ;hem. Many farmers this year are obliged to go into the market themselves for their seed corn, so deficient have been their crops. - Mr. Tooke is not co much enamoured of the present Corn Bill as Mr. V. Fitzgerald. " It is less objectionable than either of its predecessors (he says), in as far as it is less restrictive; but in the exact proportion in which it is restrictive is it liable to the charge of occasioning fluctuations beyond those which are inevitably inci dental to such an article as wheat, the supply of which depends so much on the weather. Take, for instance, the recent experience of the workings of the Bill. In consequence of the failure of the last crop, it bet-ame evident that a :foreign supply was requisite to make up for the deficiency of our own growth. But by the operation of the Corn Law, the supply Which was particularly desirable in August, and September, and October, for the pur pcse of mixing the dry foreign wheat with the damp British, was withheld till November. From the withholding of the foreign, the market naturally rose ligher than it othetwiSe would have done. In that interval the sellers of British wheat obtained a better price by the foreign being so withheld from commerce. But in consequence of the high price caused by the artificial thus superadded to the na tural scarcity, there was independently of the wish to secure the Is. duty, a greater inducement to hasten the importation than would otherwise have existed. A great deal was shipped at the ports of the Baltic in November and December of last year at extravagant freights and premiums of insurance, which ‘rattid nht have been shipped till April or May following, if the duty had been at a fixed moderate rate. Neither would the importa tions from France, Spain, and Italy, or from the Netherlands, have been to the plathe txttut, but for the spettlntitin in the shilling duty.— Without entering into details, which would lead to an inconvenient length, I will only here state my firm belief, founded upon all the information which I have been able to collect, that if, instead of the variable duty on the present Corn Bill ; there had been a fixed duty of ten shillings ; the importa tion to the end of March last would have been less by from 200 to 300;000 quarters than it proved to be. In proportion, then, as the price was higher in the three last months of 1828, by the operation of the Bill in keeping the imported wheat froth entry till the latter part of November, so was it the more depressed in thz three first months of 1829, by the extets of the importation which was caused by the speculation in the low duty."—Mor ning C'hronicle.

Last week, whilst the convicts were being es corted front Waterford to Cork for transportation, and when they had proceeded about a mile beyond a public. house where they had been refreshed, the constables in charge were surprised at the sudden appearance of their host, who declared that his house had been robbed by the party. A search was immediately instituted, and on the person of one of the convicts were found a chemise and a pair of stockings, which he had pilfered during their stay. —lrish Pupe7. A very delicate and dangerous operation was most successfully and skilfully performed in the county infirmary, by Dr. HEMPHILL, a few days ago :—A man, on whose head an immense lump or gathering had fixed itself (it having been gradually increasing for the last 12 years so as to become most distressing and inconvenient to the sufferer), applied for admissio❑ to the infirmary with a view of having the diseased part removed. This was ef fected by Dr. liENtrntt.t., and the patient is now nearly recovered. The part thus removed, in a manner which reflects so much credit on the professional knowledge of Dr. HEMPHILL, weighed four pounds and a half.— C'lon mg Paper. A novel scene was presented to us yesterday by the Galatea, 42, Captain CHARLES Nartim, C. 8., being propelled out of harbour by the use of paddle-wheels, worked with winches by the ship's company. At five minutes before nine in the morning she slipped her moor ings, half an hour before high water, the flood running one knot. The ship's company, consistin, , of 190 men, were put into three divisions ; two divisions manned the winches, and started the ship, making 11 turns of the paddle-whee:s (which were seven feet wide, two feet wider than those used in the Active) in a minute. By this apparatus she went two and a half knots. At a quarter past nine o'clock, when off the platform, the winches were manned with the three divisions, when the speed of the paddles was increased to nearly 13 revolutions, by which the ship was propelled three knots. 011 hauling round the buoy of the spit, the breeze freshening to the westward, the wheels were unconnected, and sail was made, when the paddles were allowed to go round, without impeding the ship's progress. At not any time were the men permitted to work up to their full strength. Even with the peace es tablishment, provided there was an object in view, they could keep regularly at work the greater part the day ; and, with the war complement. the operation might he continued in a calm for any length of time. With a full crew, the Galatea would have gone nearly four knots.— Hani 6 p— ' ezre T ele grap h . THE LOST WIGIIT FOUND.—The gentle man whose sudden and unaccountable disappearance from a neighbouring tow❑ gave such uneasiness to his friends, has at last been heard of, and his transportation is rather curiously accoui.te , l for. It is said that in one of those happy hours which at times flit across the dull path of life, having made too flee with the Tuscan grape, some wag taking advantage of his somnolency, ticketed him " This man to be conveyed to _Dublin," and had him carefully stowed with the live cargo of a steam-packet, about to sail for that place. Atter four hours tossing on the bosom of the ocean, he was aroused by qualms in his stomach, the usual lot of lubber, on ship-. board, and finding the harmony of his senses distuihed by the frightful noises—the creaking of the - engine— the cataract of the paddles—and the roaring . of the chimney, be thought of the White Hart and its joys, and instinctively bawled fur " more sherry;' " hot toddy," the latter of which being provided,, be took quantum sufficit, and relapsing once more into his state of peaceful slumber, " the world forgetting, by the world forgot," he awoke only to find himself in a stranger's land, among Paddies, whose brogue was most shocking to his delicate ears, "so long attuned to dulcet sounds." In short, he &retie from his sleepy bondage in the Emanci pated Isle--happy if he should find himself alike emanci pated from the yoke of discontent.Devonport Tele graph. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

When Sir Jon N Maroan (now Lord REDESDA LE) brought in his Bill, in 11'91, the opinions of Catholics were divided upon it—those who were for the Bill formed the Cisalpine Club ; so that, properly, it ought to be called "Time Mitford Club." The Club does not include Lord STouaTox, nor any of the CLIYFORDS, nor any of the WELLs's, nor members of any other well known Catholic Families; and cannot, in any f drness, be said to represent the English Catholic Aristocracy. The English Catholics never came to any resolution respecting Mr. O'CoNNELL that was not expressive of the highest respect fur him. The Cisalpine Club is a private club, the cause of its public existence having ceased- What may have induced any of its members to hare black-beaned Mr. O'CONNELL can only be conjectured. Many of its members, we know, are much irritated at the circum stance, and there would be no harm in black-beaning the Club. itself.—Morning Chronicle. • A Meeting of some of the Merchants con nected with the Surrey trade took place yesterday in the Committee-roam of John's Coffee-house, for the purpose of discussing the question of addressing a representation to Government on the injury sustained by British commerce in the Levant, in consequence of the further extension of the blockade of the Dardanelles by the Russians. The Meeting was private and by no means numerous. From what has transpired, however, it would appear that the f - sv ,gentlemen present were not at all unanimous as to the propriety of addressing the Government on such a ques tion, however severely most of them had reason to feel the grievance complained of. It WWI finally resolved that a memorial should be presented . to Lord ABERDTEN, solicit ing his good offices fur the purpose of procuring a tion of the restrictions recently established by the Russian na val forces in the Archipelago. But no beneficial result is expected from the measure by the generality of the Turkish merchants ;• and the extreme privacy whirls has keen sought in discussing a question of such public and national interest, is deprecated-by many of them& likely to give to any petition a dd resse d t o G ove rnmentlbe cha racter of a request, in which the personal interests of only a few individuals have been consulted. Last week, in removing an old thatched hovel at Blackwell-heath, near Little Marlow, a number of old guinntv, of the reign of JA3ITS IL, Wri.r.ram and Many, GEORGE H., &e. were discovered by the workmen; but as the persons who found them had the precaution to con ceal the particulars, the number found is not known. A will has since been discovered on the premises, which directed where to find other treasures, and,in consequence upward.: of 1000 guineas have been found. A Mr. Skl : 7l.i.

MANCHESTER, MONDAY EVENING.—The silk wearers who, on Friday, at the suggestion of the deputies from Spitalfields, turned out for an advance of wages, still remain but. A party of them set oat this inorningi accompanied by the deputies, to Mid dleton, about five miles from this town, with a view, it is said, to induce the silk-weavers in that neigh bourhood to adopt the same views. Middleton and the neighbourhood contained the greater part of the silk-weavers in this quarter—l mean ex clusive of those employed in the factories, where, of course ; the Spitalfields system of cutting the webs from the looms cannot be resorted to. The Magistrates having received intelligence that such a deputation was gone to that place, and that they in tended to hold a Meeting there, sent after them a party of soldiers to prevent them. The soldiers dis persed the small meeting which had been convened, and not the slightest symptom of riot was manifested, nor do I think any open riot is to be feared from the silk-weavers. If any thing be done, it will be " darkly, at the dead of night," as it was at Spital fields. The men see perfectly well that open riot with so many soldiers amongst them, and their num ber constantly increasing, would only subject them to be shot at or sabred, and could do theta not the slightest benefit. They see what success a different course in Spitalfields has had, and I am mistaken if they do not adopt the same in Middleton. Several of the masters fear it, and hence the feverishness occasioned by a few mechanics taking a walk of five miles in a summer morning. After the late riots here, Messrs. Parker's men returned to their work, their masters giving them an advance of, I believe, on the average sixpence a cut, the price before being Is. 9d., and at their re turn to work 2s. 3d. This morning the masters re duced the wages to 2s. a cut, and the men have again turned out. They were in the forenoon parad ing about, advising, or, if necessary, compelling by threats, the hand-loom weavers in the weaving shops in Newtown district also to turn out. A party of dragoons was sent to disperse the people, but they continued to go about in small parties to the diffe rent shops, and, I am told, they have succeeded in getting a great number to turn out. The military have, during the greater part of the day, been riding up and down St. George s-road, which is in the im mediate neighbourhood, I suppose only to make " assurance doubly sure," there being not the slightest indication of riot, meeting, or mob. IRISH LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DUBLIN, MAv 14. On a former day a rule Nisi, for a writ of resti tution to certain lands in the county of Roscommon, seas obtained by 77 poor tenants, who had been ejected by their landlord, Mr. Dillon, in the same county. Mr. JOHNSTON and Mr. M`CANN showed cause against the rule to-day, and read several affidavits to show that the notices to quit and ejectments were regularly served. Mr. CRAMPTON said he appeared to support the rule, and protect these unfortunate peasants, 77 of whom had been inhumanly cast forth from their habitations, with their wretched families in the depth of winter. Such an act committed by a landlord, even in adherence to the strictest rules of law, would he an act of inhumanity and oppressive tyranny ; but when committed in violation of the laws, and when every artifice was used to strain the law to its justifi cation, it was an act which he could find no language to characterise, and which should be disconetenanced by every man of high and honourable feeling. lbw any man could find it in his heart to send out upon the world 77 wretched peasants, with their wives and children, in the month of February, leaving them unsheltered from the inclemency of the weather, he could not conceive. These unfortunate peasants had all paid their rents. This was not the cause of the oppressive conduct of this Mr.. Dillon, of Mount Dillon. No, his object was to get possession of the lands to which these poor people had a just and le gal title. They held by lease, and Mr. Dillon, by an ingenious contrivance, made them tenants from year to year. The rent reserved by lease was in Irish currency, but by a new agreement they were to pay the stone amount in the new currency. This new agreement, the effect of which the wretched people were quite ignorant of, converted them into' tenants from year to year, and Mr. Dillon, having thus effected his purpose, soon after six months served notices to quit. These notices were served on the 24th or 230 of April, 1828, but Mr. Dil lon, doubting whether that was the proper day to serve them, served others on the Bth of July follow ing, which were a waver of the first. The six months would not have expired till the Bth of Fe bruary, yet Mr. Dillon, as he states, served his ejectments on the Bth of January (but the tenants denied that they were served at all), and judgment having gone by default, had an Habeas en the Bth of February, by which he got into possession, and turned out these unfortunate men. To give their Lordships some idea of the feeling by which these aristocratic landlords are animated— Lord PLUNKETT—Aristocratic ! That is a hard word, Mr. Crompton. I should be sorry that the aristocracy of this country were such landlords as Mr. Dillon. (Mr. Dillon, who had been hitherto in Court, upon seeing Lord Plunkett's opinion against him, left the Court.) Mr. CRAMPTON admitted it was an improper word, and he should not have used it. These poor men sent a notice to Mr. Dillon, who is a Magis trate, calling upon him to restore them to posses sion, as his proceedings were illegal. The man who served the notice was arrested by Mr. Dillon, and thrown into prison ; and when bail was offered to Mr. Dillon, he refused it en the ground that it could only be taken before two Magistrates. Mr. SnEin followed on the same side, and read passages from several affidavits to show the Mega. lity of Mr. Dillon's conduct. He would not, as their Lordships disliked the term, call him an aristo cratic, but he would call him a tyrannical, oppres sive, autocratic landlord. Can your Lordships look at the miserable wretches congregated in the gal lery, who travelled up here to have:the gratification of witnessing justice dispensed at your Lordships' hands, without feeling that this has been as gross an act of oppression as ever came before a Court y _ of Justice ? Lord PLUNKETT—The Court has no hesitation in prouncing that a writ of restitution should imme diately issue. That these poor men have been the victims of gross oppression there can be no doubt, aggravated as it is by the circumstance of its being inflicted by that person who was in duty bound to be their protector. The rule was made absolute, and the costs given against Mr. Dillon. [About a dozen of these poor peasants, in their tattered frieze garments, came upwards of a hundred miles to see, as they said, if justice would be done them or not. They remained in the gallery, and watched every word uttered with the most anxious attention. When they found Lord Plunkett was in their favour. their joy was excessive, and some of them exclaimed, " Uh, Lord bless you !—after all, we will .go back to our cabins again." When the Court , pronounced its opinion, they came into the Hall and gave their blessings to Lord Plunkett, say ing that it was there justice was to be had. I asked some of them how they lived since they were turned out, and they solemnly assured me that they lived upon ose meal of potatoes.a day ; and, out of what ever little they had, they subscribed 10s. each to carry on the law, as they said. A poor widow, amongst them, said that she, too, and her six chil dren, had been turned out, and they were ever since living upon one meal of potatoes a day. Their wretched appearance bore testimony to the truth of their statement. What patience they exhibited un der such sufferings ! but they returned quite happy at their victory.] THE MARKETS.
