THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, September 2B [NEW mfrs.] • We lament that any person should have sought to stimulate the lower order of Catholics in 136 - Win to violence, on account of a Catholic Telert having, been prevented from officiating at a burial in a Protestant Church-yard. We believe that no persons are more painfully affected at these attempts to spread irritation among the po. yulace than Mho respectable and intelligent Mem bers of the Catholic Body. We have elsewhere inserted a professional opinion of Mr. O'Connell on the right of praying for the dead ; and with out gbing into the legal question (on which we must take leave to say the statement of the learned Counsel does not appear to us very clear), we think it will be generally allowed, that, in point of common prudence, the advice given ought by no means to be followed. The Learned Barrister recommends people, on a dis puted point, not to go to law, but to take the law into their own hands. He recommends that they should attend in crowds, anticipating thiq this will in all probability lead to a I;;reach of the peace—and then they are to go to law I A singular method of preventing litigation. Surely the more prudent and peaceable way v►oxiid be to try the legal right in the first in r stance. At first sight it would certainly seem that the Protestant Minister has an exclusive right to perform the sacred functions ,in his own Chirch-yard, which is his freehold. .On the other hand it is alleged, that the Irish Catholics are prohibited the use of their own cemeteries ; and it is certainly true 'that there was an old Irish Statute (9 W. ICI. c. 9.6.) which imposed a penalty of 10/. on burying In any suppressed Monastery, Abbey, or Convent, not used for ce lebrating Divine Service according to the Litur gy of the Protestant Church of Ireland. Sup posing this law to be still in force, it would seem unreasonable that the Catholic who is ()riven frOm his own church-yard should not be allowed to pray as he thinks fit in ours. But it is probable that the law is not so inconsistent. if it be, the Legislature will, probably remove the inco►►sistency ; but in the meanwhile we sa►y, in direct opposition, not to Mr. O'Connell's law, but to his prudence, let the parties resort to a judicial decision of their rights ; and let them not stir up clamour and tumult by resorting to the means which the Learned Gentlema►► has sug gested. [THE TIMES.] • We have received letters from Paris, dated 7'u,e4day, according to which the attack on the Isle of Leon has been delayed on account of the unprepared condition of the squadron destined to CP . :9Pfl'Ate . with. the land forces. If the fleet, however, was not ready _by the .20th instant. it was said that..the Duke of Angouletne's*. instruct tart had, advised him to attempt. the conquest without the assistance of the fleet. The same letters communicate the following particulars re specting.the capture of Riego lluving arrived with four companions of his flight, two of whom are -said to be English officers, he supped on the 14th at a village culled Arguillos, consisting only of 15 houses, inhabited by the descendants of the German colony with which Charles 111. attempt ed to people the Sierra Morena. Ile had an nodneed himself as belonging to the army of Bid lasteros, hut having been betrayed by the appel lation of General, with which one of his comrades addressed him, he was recognized by one of the peasants, Probably in a village inhabited by Spaniards under the dominion of the priests, he wnvild have been massacred, but the good Ger aps. only .arrested him and conducted him to Carolina. From Carolina he will be conveyed to Madrid by the French troops, to be placed at the disposal of the Regency. DIOAN ING POST.] French• Papers to the 24th inst. reached us last ri;gl.:„ by Express. They are totally barren as to military or political news, with the exception of nnmunication from the Duke of Reggio to the Olnister at, War, which confirms, though not in an gb.,olute manner, the report of Riego's capture by some Royalist peasants. Though the dispatch be)u itself official, it does not appear that the Duke of Reggio had received the intelligence it ,conveys officially. He does not say that an 2.9,thorised comwunjcation had been made to big) from the Grand Head Quarters, which would no .doubt have been the case had the truth of .the eysnt. .been duly ascertained ; he merely states that he bad just learned it from an Officer corning (tarp those Quarter , ;, and that the War Minis— ter'of the Regency communicated .the same in teiCgetice. It may certainly turn out to be cor rect ; but it cannot yet be regarded as proved ; the rrore so as la Carolina, in the neighbourhood of Whicli Riego is said to have been taken, is nharly eighty miles distant from the place where tflii . .o.o4itrodor asserted his defeat to have oc.. '.`lie only other article of interest in these Papers is an account of the anxious and idgenious curiosity with which the proceedin gs of the walled up ConclaVe are traced, by the emission of smoke from the pipe of a stove in the interior,`or by its absence. [nit[ st; Pit Essj Reports were' prevalent in Paris on Tuesday eve ning, that the attack on the Isle of Leon had succeeded, and that the Puntaies was stormed sad taken by the French troops ; but the ru mour was the anticipation of ultra anxiety, and; utterly unfounded. In the we, are persuaded, hest-informed circles it was believed, that another effort would, be made at negociation before the final assault took place. - The French Ambassador, 'fa was,sent ror frortiMadrid, it is said, with thi s eiew,; and instructions, it is added, were sent from Paris to A ngouleme, moderating the demands to Le wade on the Cortes, Our own impression 16, that the attack on the Isle of Leon will be made, and that Cadiz will, stand or fall on the iilue. The 'capture of Riego is not re-stated i n Tuesday's Papers. Guillerninot's dispatch, a n . pouncing the affair with Ballasteros and Bonne main, only states that the movement of the latter obliged Riego to throw himself into the moun tains, and that Molitor had made dispositions to pursue him. There may therefore be yet some hopes that the brave but unfortunate Riego has escaped the toils of his enemies. Some of Ballasteros's soldiers are said to have joined the standard of the Constitutional Chief. From Guilleminot's dispatch it appears that Bonne mains, who was at Baza, was ordered by Molitor to march on Malaga and Almeria, whileLoredo march ed directly against Riego, who baying replaced Zayas, occupied Malaga. Bonnemains arrived on the 26th at Gador, and there, after some parley, received the submission of a Constitu tional corps, and occupied Almeria on the 27th, and continued his march by Motrat, where he arrived on the 4th. In the interval, Loverdo quitted Grenada on the 30th, with five batta lions of infantry, two regiments of cavalry, and seven pieces of artillery, and marched on Malaga, where he was on the 4th. Riego quitted it the preceding night; with about 2,500 men. Guille minot's dispatch states, he took the direction of Velez-Malaga, hoping to gain Carthagena. He may have been pursued, but with such a force he could not have fallen into the hands of the pea sants of La Carolina. Lord Nugent is at Cadiz, and most solicitous and energetic in his sugges tions and assistance to the Constitutional cause. A few days more must pronounce upon the fate of the Cortes and the Constitution ; but misfor tunes latterly have not come singly upon Spain ; they have rushed on her in battalions, and beat her hopes and strength to the very earth. We do not, however, yet despair of her cause. [MORNING HERALD.' Extract of a Letter from Madrid, dated Sep. (ember 13 :—" The passing backwards and for wards of Admiral A lava, from Cadiz to Port St. Mary, had induced the friends of tranquillity to hope that an arrangement was about to take place ; but it appears' from letters written by persons whose confidential employment near the Duke d'Augouleme enable them to speak with certitude, that the great and insurmountable ob stacle to the conclusion of any arrangement is, the choice of a guarantee for the execution of the treaties. The parties not being at all likely to concur in the same choice, recourse, it is feared, must be had to the last extremi. ties of arms. Other letters from the same quarter state that the French have, by means of gold and active agents, succeeded in gain ing a party in Cadiz and the Isle of Leon, who will show themselves when the proper occa sion offers. This has caused no little alarm tw the Constitutionalists shut up in both these towns, and though they keep a - watchful eye upon those suspected, yet they dread that in the moment of attack a diversion in favour of the French, by this party, may produce the most fatal consequences. This attack, add the same letters, must take place immediately, as the pre parations for it are pushed on with the greatest activity. The reports relative to General Que• sada are very contradictory. Some pretend that he has gained some trifling advantages over the Conmtitutlonal troops, whom he had been sent to attack by the Regency ; others, and these are the greater number, say that he has been vigorously repulsed, and that the Constitution alists of Estrewadura have a much more imposing force than was at first supposed, and that the country offers them abundant resources. How. ever it is assured that they will be forced to eva cuate the province, as soon as the troops meant to march against them shall have combined their efforts. There are various rumours as to Ballas teros and his troops, but they are so totally con tradictory, that we must wait a few days be fore attempting to give credit to either version. The fanatics of this city, who, as you may well suppose, are pretty numerous, are transported with joy at the rapture of the negociations before Cadiz. Thisjoy they refrain not from express ing in words as well as looks ; whilst the friends of order and public tranquillity are obliged in silence and secresy to offer up their vows for that moment so desired, but which will come too late, when Spaniards, taught by a cruel experience, shall make at the shrine of their country the sa crifice of their quarrels, divisions, and animos; ties." [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The appointment of Consuls in South America are understood to he finally settled, and to want nothing but the formality of being gazetted. We have therefore only to express a hope that the individuals destined to fill these important posts may have been selected with some view to their competence to the discharge of the duties en trusted to them, and that private influence may not, in this instance, have been permitted wholly to absorb public interests. Never was there a more complete metamon phosis than that to which our Tories have lately been subjected. When the French armies. first entered Spain, their joy was immoderate—their air and manner was that-of triumph and exults• lion. The tiuked'Angouleme could not be more elated when he had the Spanish Grandees at his feet in Madrid than our Tory Aristocracy were when they. received the news of his entering that capital. The naming Constitutions and Consti tutionalists only excited their merriment. When they condescended, to explain themselves, the language was :—You will see every thing set tled in a short time—the King at Madrid,. a House of fiords and Commons established, with a Constitution in which the King will be more than tt cypher; _and when alt these fine things are accomplished, for the , expence of which the obtaining an army wherein they can. place coati. dence will amply indemnify the French, the Pe ninsula will be evacuated forthwith, and the peo ple of every other country, discouraged by so many fruitless attempts to, obtain free Constitu tions, will sit down ,quietly and allow their Rulers to shear them in the old legitimate way.' That the Government was of this way of think ing is but too well proved by the pains taken to detach Portugal from Spain, at a rnoit, Cal moment,' mna the assiduity with which , Sir William A'Court laboured to .promote the! success of the French. 'lndeed th e French! were not More bents on dividing the Consti tutionalists than were the representative and agents of our hopeful Ministers.—Well then — the Bourbons have obtained an experienced army, they have overrun Spain, and revolu tionized Portugal. What would our Tories have more ? yet a gloom has overspread their countenances! One does not know what to make of the interview between the Emperors—Ano ther looks wishfully towards South America—A third confesses that the erection of a House of Lords and Commons, on the English model, is not so easy a thing in Spain as he had at first sup posed it to be—A fourth does not see how F.-rdinand and his Monks can govern the coun try without the aid of au army of Frenchmen, or an army paid by France. Some even go so far as to hint that our Government, in no long time, will be under the necessity of endeavouring, in self-defence, to revolutionize the Continent. When the bull first gets his horns, he is fond of using them. The Bourbons reel their strength, and long to make use of it. They know the' temper of their nation—they know that to insult Englana would blot out Waterloo from the re collection of the vain-glorious people over whom they rule, and give them a place in their affections. Their Journals now boldly talk' of occupying Spain, of surrounding Ferdi nand with their bayonets, of obtaining indemni ties for their expenditure ;,and they'observe, moreover, that England dare not stir. These are certainly alarming circumstances.. By and bye we shall be hearing how much the great Sove reigns feel for the situation in which the King of this country is placed, and how much they desire, to free him from the Oligarchy, by whom he is kept in• subjection. Louis the Eighteenth may be telling Europe some day, that as under Heaven he owed his Throne to the King of Eng land, he shopld not acquit himself towards Heaven, were he not to endeavour to requite the obligation, by placing in turn his Royal Be nefactor on as real a Throne as that to which he was himself restored.—Who knows but the wickedness of Ministers in , not opposing them selves first to the interference with Naples and Piedmont, and then with Spain, may 3n the end be productive. of more benefit to Europe than if they• had adopted a more liberal policy.—Should the Allies, in the confi dence of their strength, carry their insults so far as to threaten our safety at home (a circumstance far from being impossible), Ministers may now, as in 1811, again place themselves at the head of the Liberal Party in Europe. Taught wis dom by experience, that party, if the opportu nity should again prove favourable, will not al low it to slip through their hands unprofited THE AGE OF THE OAK. In " Major Rooke's Sketch of the Forest of Sherwood" are some very curious particulars concerning the manner of mark: ing the age of the Oak. In: Clipstone Park, in Nottingham shire, is an oak called the Parliament Oak, from a tradition of a Parliament having heen hold there by King Edward I. Near Blidworth, there is a large and ancient elm, called Langton , Arbour, which even some centuries ago was sufficiently re markable to give a name to one of the forest walks, and to have , a keeper appointed to it.—Major Hooke tells us that in cutting down some timber in Birkland and Bilhaugh, letters have been found cut or stamped in the body of the trees, denoting the King's reign in which they were thus marked. It seems that th e bark was cut off and the letters cut in, after which the next year's wood grew over It, but without adhering where the bark had been cut. The cyphers are of James the First, of William and Mary, and one of King John ! One of these, with James's cypher, was about one foot within the tree, and one foot from the centre ; it was cut down in 1786. This tree must have been two feet in diameter, or two yards in circumference, when the mark was cut. A tree of this size is generally estimated at one hundred and twenty years growth,, which number, subtracted from the middle year of James's reign, would make 1492 the date of the planag of the tree, The tree with Willi a m and M ar y h a d the mark about nine inches within the tree, and three feet three inches from the centre: cut down also in 1786. The mark of John was eighteen inches within the tree, and something more than a foot from the centre: it was cut down in 1791 ; but the middle year of John's reign was 1207, from which, if we sub. tract 120, the number of years requisite for a tree of two feet in diameter to arrive at that growth, it will make the date of its planting 1085, or about twenty years after the Conquest. The tree, theretbre, when cut down in 1791, must have been 706 years old, a fact scarcely credible; for it ap. pears front the trees whose marks are better authenti cated, that those exactly of the same size, when marked, had increased twelve inches in diameter in 173 years, whilst this tree had increased 'no more than eighteen inches in 584 years. Major Hooke saes that several trees with this mark had been cut down, so that deception or mistake is scarcely pa ss ibl e . Thi s accurate delineator accounts for these pheno mena, by supposing (as the increasing wood never adheres where the bark had been taken Off), that the sap which rises front the roots through the capillary tubes of the wood, to the branches, returns in its circulation between the Lim and the bark. " I have often (says he) examined many of the ancient hollow trees in Birkland and Bilhaughi, and al. ways found that where the barktrentained, even on their mud- fated trunk s , t h ere they frequently put out small branches wi t h ' leaves ; but where that necessary covering of the returning sap was wanting, there was no appearance of Vegetation." j It will b e s ee n that measures are in progress for inc reas i ng the facility of communication be tween this port Old the South • of Ireland ; and we fecl pleasure in inserting, at the request of a highly valued Correspondent, the subjoined state ment of the a d vantage 4 which are hence likely to accrue, as' well . to. .13rh , tol aS to that fruitful portion of the Sister Kingdom : ---- 7 , - " When the acknowledged superiority of' steam-navigation over vessels impelled by wind alone is contemplated, it is not too much to anticipate the incalculable source Of advantase. it will be to every branch of trade where regularity and expedition are an important consideration. To none can it be greater than to the • exporters of Live Stock, who require speed, certainty, and safety. The export of cattle, however , as now carried on, is marked by th e most inconvenient, ve xatious, and eve n ruinous 1 delays, uncert a i nty, and risk.

Gebs;;:ver.) The COLUMNAR MARBLE, and BURNING SPRING. [From a Traveller's Jou rn al.] From the Lake I proceeded the next morning toward the north east end of Westmorland, hav ing passed the night in a sound sleep under the trees by the water side, but was forced by the precipices to shape my course, from four in the morning till eight, to the north west, and then the road turned east-north-east, till I came to a great glen, where a river made a rumbling noise, over rocks and inequalities of many kinds, and formed a very wild and wonderful scene. The river was broad and deep, and, on easy descent to it, was an assemblage of stones, that ran in length about a hundred feet, in breadth thirty, and somewhat resembling the Giant's Causeway, in the'county of Antrim and province of Ulster, in Ireland ; nine miles north-east from the pretty town of Coleraine, celebrated in song. The assem blage of stones I am speaking of are columns with several corners, that rise three yards above the ground, and are joined as if by art ; the points being convex and concave, and thereby lying one within another. These columns have five and six sides, a few of them seven ; and a number of them nicely and exactly placed to gether, make one large pillar from one foot to two in -diameter. They are so nicely joined, that although they have five and six sides, yet their contexture is so adapted as to leave no vacuity between them : the prominent angles of one pillar fitting, and falling exactly into the hollOws left them between two others, and the plain sides exactly answer to one another ; so that those pedagons and pentagons of columnar marble appear as if finished by the hands of the most masterly workman. Ali the pillars stood exactly perpendicular to the plane of the horizon. This marble is one of the noblest productions of nature, and of all the fOssil kingdom the most astonishing body. If art is requisite for the for mation of many things we see daily done with elegance and beauty then certaintly mind itself, even the supreme mind, must have caused such effects as these astonishing marble pillars, which lie in vast compound perpendicular columns at great depths in the earth (none in beds of strata like the other marbles),and rise in such beautiful joints and angles, well fitted together, more than six and thirty feet above ground in some places. No other way could those wonderful productions have come into being but by that intelligent, ac tive power who speaks intelligibly to every nation by his works. To talk, as some people do, that necessity, which destroys the very idea of intelli gentan utter absurdity—or the sea, according to and designing activity—or chuirce„which is Millar/2er, generated and formed this genus of marble, and so wonderfully distinguished it from all the othe'r marmora. To talk, I say, of the sea, a chance, a necessity, doing this, or any thing of so wonderful a kind, is to produce schemes founded in ignorance and eversive of true knowledge, instead of giving a rational in telligible account of the formation of the world, its 'order and appearances, In this wonderful production, a due attention perceives infinite art and power. Did we want that variety of things which employ the consideration ot rational men, and force the tongues of thinking men to acknow ledge creating power, this marble alone would be sufficient to demonstrate equal power directed by infinite wisdom. This is the basaltes of the an cients certainly, and is a very elegant and beau tiful marble of a fine deep glossy black, like high polished steel, and undoubtedly this was the touch -stone of the ancients. Another extraor dinary thing I saw in a valley not far from that where the basaltes stand, is a boisterous burn ing spring. It rises with great noise, and issues out with a force sufficient to turn many mills. The water is clear and cold, but to the taste unpleasant, like a bad egg. I judged, from the nature of its motion, that the water would take lire, and having lit my torch, soon put it in flames. The fire was fierce, and the water ran down the vale in a blaze. It was a river of fire for a considerable way, till it sunk under ground among some rocks, and thereby disap peared. After it had burnt some time, I took some boughs from a tree, and tying them toge ther, beat the surface of the well for a few mi nutes, and the [miming ceased. The water was not hot, as one might expect, but cold as the coldest spring could be. There are a great num ber of such springs in the world, but this is the largest i ever saw or heard of. There is one near Broxley, in Shrophire, and one in the p a i n . tinate of Cracow of the Lesser Poland. And as to the extinguishing this fire, by beating it with twigs, is by reason that as the inflammability of such springs is to be ascribed to sulphur, and to its exhalations bursting out of the water ; so this floating flame, which is too subtle to heat the water, is stifled by involving these Spirits in the aqueous 'particles, by brushing the surface with broom. It is related that at one time, when the Polish spring was kindled by lightning, the people neglected to put it out, and the stream proceeded on lire for almost three years, and reduced all the neighbourhood to Ashes. It is really won*. derful to see such a river of fire, and adora ble must be that power who has caused such things. To say that matter and motion circurn 9cribe and regulate such powers is idle to the tast degree. It is an inversion of reason. The very existence of the water and sulphur of this spring must be by the power of the Creator con stantly put forth upon it, which causes the parts to be what we call such things, and the motion of both must be an impression : for motion is not essential to matter. Nothing else could produce them, and a cause there must be equal to the various and wonderful effects of both, a cause that is infinite, wi se , and powerf u l. Th e D e i ty is every where present, and every where active. His power is incessantly workin g , gives exis tence to the various creatures, and produces the most noble phenomena in Nature. All we see, all we feel, fire and water, the universal variety of inanimate and animate creatures; are only the effects of his creating power, constantly repeat ed. The existence of the whole world is a con tinual new creation ; and, therefore, it becomes the bounden duty of all rational creatures to worship This Almighty Power, as well for his works of Creation as for the ways of his Providence. LIVERPOOL THEATRICALS. THEATRE ROYAL.--The entertainments of the last week were excellent, but not so well attend ed as we could have wished, or as their attrac tions merit. On Monday Mr. ELLISTON took his leave of us in Rover. We have seen this gentleman in early life, and remember with plea. sure those powers which age does not improve. The tragedy of Isabella, on Tuesday, introduced to our notic Miss LACY, of Covent-garden Thea tre. Report, and the London Papers, prepared us to expect from this lady no small display of talent, nor were we disappointed; on the con trary, we were surprized to see so young a crea ture develope such great and evident marks of genius. Isabella is the must arduous female cha racter in the drama ; it requires, from the various and strong passions with which it abounds, aid most, indeed every request to form a finished tragedy actress; and she who can delineate it with the force, the nature, with which it was re presented on Tuesday, needs only encouraged ment and opportunity to arrive at the highest honours of her profession. Miss LACY appears to be endowed with every necessary requisite for the stage ; her figure is tall, elegant, and coma manding ; her face rather pretty than handsome,. but very expressive ; her voice melody itself, and her acting complete nature, without the least appearance of art or imitation. Altogether, we fully agree with those London critics who pro. flounce Miss LACY the best actress that has ap peared since the lamented absence of Miss O'NEILL. The tragedy (which was loudly ap plauded) was followed by the comic opera of the Marriage of Figario, in which, Miss M. TREE again appeared before us in her favourite charac ter of Merona ; she sung and acted as charm ingly as ever, and was warmly welcomed by her numerous admirers.—Wednesday was Mr. BROWNE'S farewell henefit, which, we rejoice to say, was about 27 51. We hope Mr. BROWNE will be pleased with this mark of attention from the Liverpool public ; and we will say that his services to th em h as d eserve d such a re ward. He has been constantly before them for several years, has tilled his station In the com pany with much talent, and has given great plead sure to his audience. We cordially wish him success in his new undertakings.—On Thursday, the excellent comedy of The Honey Moon was performed —we will venture to say as well as ever it was yet performed. Mr. VANDENHOPF, in the Duke, went really beyond himself : he seemed to feel that he was playing with a Lady who understood the meaning of the author's lan guage, and he gave it in all its power and sweet ness. Miss LACY, in Juliana, appeared to us to have the same feeling—and we never witnessed the passages in that highly poetical and delight ful play delivered with more correctness or with more effect. The scenes were kept up with un usual spirit, and we were at a loss to say which was the best.--On Friday evening, the popular play of Henri Quatre gave us another opportunity of enjoying the fascinating acting of Miss M. TREE, in the lively Louison, and intro duced to our acquaintance her sister, Miss E. TREE, who, in the part of Clotil de de Biros, gave proof of eminent qualifications for a higher walk in the drama. Her person is finely formed, her face sweet and expressive, and her judgment, as far as the character she performed would allow US to judge, is excellent. Mr. VANDENLIOFF iS the best representative of Henri Quatre that we .

'From circurr. stances it appeared that the depredators had expected a great booty, and had been disturbed. A l arge remarkably fierce dog, left to guardWo premises, was found in a quiet state, while one belonging to an apprentice, which had been locked up in a room, was running about in great agitation, and supposed to have resisted. the attempt, leaving no doubt that the perpe.. trators were well acquainted with the place. Mr. Moyes's desk, • in his private room, was broken open. An unsuccessful at.. tempt was made on an iron chest, and the house was strewed with valuable books ; and other articles were packed up, ready to be taken away. Instant information was given to the Po. lice at Ilatton.garden, which, it is hoped, will lead to the tlJ tection of the offenders. BIRTHS.
