THE .-.LONDOk:;-.36CfIiNALS7. DAILY • Bxtracts from the Morning Papers, August [MORNING CHRONICLE.] No further - intelligence has readied us from Corunna, but it is reported in a high quarter, that the French, after their defeat, withdrew to Betanzos, the point from'which they originally advanced. Betanzos is a town situated on a pen insula, formed by the junction of the Mainlea and another small river, at the distance of about ten miles from Corunna, and twenty from Ferrol. An arrival from Cadiz is looked for with the utmost anxiety. If we are not much -mistaken, it will turn out, that the sorte from La Isla, of which the French boast'so much, as redounding highly to 'the credit of their arms, has been a dear victory, in niore 'than one sense.: The Spa-, niards, from the confession of the French them selves, left their lines in three columns, marching from three separate points, and at a considerable distance from each other. The first coluthn went in bonts,from the Trocade`ro, the second passsed over the Suazo bridge, and the third moved forward in boats over the river Santi Petri. - Their object was to destroy works the French were construct ing in the vicinity of Chiclana, So that to support the movement of the column sent on from Santi Petri, the one from the Trocadero had to march at least seven miles, and the other from the Suazo bridge, four ; and, after finishing their work, they had to march the same distance back, and one column to ne-embark, and another to pass over a narrow bridge—operations extremely difficult in presence of en enemy. Yet the French have not been able to boast of the cap. tnre of n single prisoner, nithough, from the low situation' of La Isla, and the higher - ground they thernSelves occupied, and which of course •the assailants were obliged to ascend, they could distinctly see . the movements and 'advance of the Spania44 long. befOre they. came in contact with then). The French, neverthelesv,i candidly Re: knowledge the firmness with which the ConstituL tionalists fought. ' [MORNING POST.] French Papers to the Ist instant, arrived last • night by. Express. Their continued , silence re. speetiug the events at Corunnts, is growing more and more important. The Nonitcur of Wednes. day last contains a telegraphic dispatch, dated Jnly 26, which only announces what I , A been communicated four days beiore , through. the medium of an official Bulletin; vitt : The ot:cupation of Ferrol,.en - the 15th, - by the . Corps of General Huber. This is an extraordi nary .6'om:stance ; for the Duke of An. goeleme or his Alajor.General' 'cannot have forgottee dna they dispatched the very same intelligence hs a regular Courier on the 21st. 'Phis set my to have struck 4te persons who attend the telegraph, and they have added a postscript to the communication, which, w heth er true or false, is intended to counteract the impression which midi a remarkable want of memory was ea leula tett to produce. They say that ' night prevented them front receiving the conclusion of the dispatch." Every individual is thus left at liberty, according to his own wishes and opinions, to suppose what that conclusion must have been ; and those who may object to the absurdity of dommunicatin4 old news by.the telegraph, will be silenced by the observation that " that was only the • beginning of the dispatch, and was probably restated, because it was necessary to the clear understanding of some new and important operation which the conclusion undoubtedly described." They would be told to wait another day, and they might do so patiently. But even then it apPears that they would be disappointed ; for wig are in possession of some of Thursday's Papers, and they contain no fresh version of the truncated dispatch,though sufficient time had elapsed for the telegraph to repeat its communications .in broad daylight, and to supply the involuntary omission of the night before. What other inference can be drawn front this circumstance, than that the omission was not involuntary ; from which flows the rea. sonable conclusion, that it was designed, it must have been on account of the unfavourable stature of the intelligence conveyed. Indeed every communication from Spain, even through the suspicious channel of the French Journals, shows that a great. change has taken place •in the cha racter of tiny contest, and that the bright dawn of national triumph is opening on the Peninsula. That it has' been so long delayed can only be at tributed to the influence of the traitors who having been most unaccountably left in impor tant commands by the Cortes, repressed the spirit of the people, and neutralized the means of defence of .the country. [ilia TIMES.] The Papers of Wednesday, which ar rived yesterday, are as destitute, of interest us any that ha‘ reached us during the present week—a circumstance, however, which is th us far favourable to the Spaniards, that it shews their atrocious invaders have it not in their power to b 0 :14t Of any important SOCCPSS either procured by military effort, or, what is inti niteiy inure to tie dreaded, by base arts o f intrigne and' corruption. Au imperfect tele graphic dispatch from Madrid, the completion of which the approach of night is halt! to have prevented, is given in the Monitctir. All that• it announces is the occupation of Ferrol on the I'sth ult. by General Huber. This is no news; the fact has been stated in the Paris journals, and all the details Might have been received by an ordi nary courier. Why employ the telegraph to repeat an Already t w ice-told tale A bulletin relative to 'Corunna was rather to be expected, and we are informed that the French Ministers have received accounts of what passed before that place to the 22d ult. and that it is admitted that the bravely of the defence rendered a speedy capitulation • by no means probable; but such ac counts AS ti el-e do not, suit the columns of the Moniteur. The Journal.do Dads confirms what we stated ye s terday, respecting the expectation of a batik iu Catalonia aboat the end ()fate month pf July.. rn fact, the French havens yet obtained ?no solid footing in that province. The blockade of Barcelona, which the Ultra papers have so often announced, Is a work still to be begun; and were it accomplished, which while Consti tutional corps exist in considerable force is not practicable, that great fortress is capable of making a long and vigorous defence. The let ters from the French army before. Cadiz repeat the account of a Spanish officer having crossed from the Isle of Leon, by swimming, and brought important intelligence to Bordesoulle. Perhaps this traitor communicated information respecting the plans of Ballasteros. It is at least worthy of remark, that the period assigned for his com munication is precisely a day or two previous to that on which, according to the intelligence in our paper of yesterday, some part of the block. riding army had recei-ved orders to break up from Port St. Mary's, and march towards Cor dova, to reinforce Bourmont, in consequence of the advance of Ballasteros. [IIIIIIISII PRESS.] The French papers of Wednesday and Thurs. day, which reached our office yesterday, contain little intelligence ; but that little is still de. cisively favourable to Constitutional Spain Guerilla corps are rapidly organizing, and appear. ing in every place where a French force cannot overpower them. A number of these corps are spread under different partisans, over the pro vince of Estremadura and elsewhere, while the Empecinado and Chaleco act through out the Castiles, and carry alarm to the very gates of Madrid. Even the Faith banditti are (as we anticipated they would) deserting their dark standards, and joining the Constitutionalists against the common enemy. That union, which we long since announced as certain, is grativally taking place among all Spaniards, against the foreign foe, and by it the French must ultimately be overwhelmed. Pablo, who was at the head of a party of 'the factious in Valencia, has joined Ballasteros with his corps, and added a thou sand of his hitherto misguided followers, to the National Standard of the Spanish Chief.— These men, on whom the French Cabinet weakly placed so much reliance, and ex. pended such lavish sums in their formation and equipments, never acted heartily in the cause for which they were enrolled ; and now, in fluenced by the late successes of the Constitu tionalists and , urged by common hatred to the Frencharmy, will universally add themselves to the standards of the Constitution, in almost every province there they have been acting, Ballasteros and ; Zayas are positively stat e d t o have formed a j unction, and both are said to be hi full march upon Andalusia. This would he 'a decisiVe movement indeed for the Cortes, in the present state of things; before such a force, joined to that of the besieged w ithin Cadiz, Bourdesoulle could not attempt longer to remain before the walls. In fact, reinforcements such as could be spared were already t ordered up to Unurmont's support at Cordova, oft which city 11,illasteros was stated to be advancing with a force of no less than 15,00 t) men. Cordova lies on the Guadalquivir, in. Andalusia, 75 miles north-east of Seville, and 135 south-west of Ma drid. Such a force thrown in the rear of the be siegers, already opposed by the. Constitutionalists, in more than equal numbers within the walls, would be decisive for the present of the fate of Cadiz, and threaten annihilation to Bourdesoulle and the French force. [x r.w TIMES.] . _ We cannot but sigh over the apostacy of the 41Orning Chronicle from the cause of the Petiple,--- Sovereign' People," that source of all power,and wisdom,and right, is now never spoken of 'by, ',our . A ristocatic,Cotemporary, but in term; of the most overbearing and insolent contempt— they are 44 the ignorant many"—" a frenzied Pe-, pnlace"--and yesterday they were designated,. en masse, as 44 a brutal and ferocious ribble."'!!! Now, since the Chronicle has sacrificed the con sistency of 30 years to its new principles, it would ,be but fair, toltself and its readers, to state distinctly what those principles are. We see clearly enough what they are not ; but as to what they are we are left wholly in the dark. Let us therefore' endeavour to state' the prin. ciples which The Chronicle does not hold :-1. It does not 'hold the principles of the established, Constitution of this country in Church or State.- -2. It does not hold the principles of Royalty, either in this country or any other. Of Kings, in the abstract, it speaks only as 44 crowned robbers," 44 assassins," &c. &c.-3. It does not hold the principles of hereditary Aris tocracy. In its phraseology, all Grandees are "imbecile," all Nobles are " serville," all distinctions of birth are " feudal," ' 4 Gothic," " ba'rbarous."-4. It least of all holds the prin ciples of Democracy. What! give sovereign power to a mob, a frenzied populace, a brutal and ferocious rabble, to wretches who could be spatter with .mud and pelt with brick-bats the Whig Committee in Westminister, and menace destruction to tl►e illustrious 1111- son in Portugal I Oh ! impossible. What then remains ? We see no form of Govern meat that can please our worthy Cotemporary, except an aristocracy of his own choosing. The " enlightened few" are, of right, to govern us all. Kings, Priests, Noble People, are nil to bow down before the aristocracy of Liberalism ! But who is to determine whether a man is libe ral or enlightened ? Why, The Chronicle itself, to be sure. Nay, it is to expound the words its own way. For our part, we think a scur rilous, bunions, obscene writer, like Lord Byron, the very reverse from 44 liberal ;" nor can we see that Buonaparte and Mims are " lightened," simply because they massacred their prisoners in cold blood ; but The Chronicle no doubt thinks otherwise : it would subject every nation to the greatest tyrants and profligates that could be found in the whole populationond then telt us that the world had obtained Liberty ! imoitHING There appears of. late something like.an op-, proaCh - to tranquillity in Ireland. But few out. rages are recorded:, in the Nawspopers, stud ,the Addresses of the Circuit-going Judges to the Grand Juries are on the whole satisfactory. No doubt these learned persons were at all times dis• posed to administer impartial justice, without distinction of rich or poor. But hitherto this prin ciple, though acted upon, was discreetly kept in the back ground—perhaps lest it should make the lower classes insolent, to be informed that they were equal in the eye of the law to their superiors in condition. Now, however, this principle is pro claimed with a degree of emphasis and ostenta tion, which naturally makes one look out for some cause. The probability is, that the Irish Judges have had their inspiration from some high quarter—whether the Castle in Dublin, or the Cabinet here, we shall not determine--nor is it of any moment. The great and salutary point is, that those Reverend expounders and administra tors of the law studiously impress upon the poor people in Ireland, their right to have, and upon the Magistrates and other subordinate authorities their duty to give, strict and impartial justice. Another great improvement among the people is the new regulation for the meeting of Magistrates in Petty Sessions, once or t w i ce a wee, to hear and deterthine differences between the poor. 'This regulation has many advantages. The presence of several Magistrates is a security for unbiassed justice.. A single magistrate may be influenced, or if he is not,-the,party disappointed Ulll suspect, unfairness in an unchecked indi vidual-6 ,suspicion which the decision of se. veral Magistrates in. agreement with each other, will in general prevent. That, however, to which the tranquillity of the country,'so far as it is tranquil, is ascribed by the Irish themselves, is the physical force of the police, and the powers with which this force is invested 'by law. Now it is very likely that the nature of this sort of peace- may be mistaken—and that the peace which it produces may he regarded as the natural forerunner of an improving state of com fort and content among the Irish poor.' Far from it. The existence of the present police establish. meta in Ireland is utterly incompatible with the least Advance towards prosperity. The peace which it produces is mere exhaustion under an overwhehning r eontrouling power. The rate imposed by the C . ;ortstabulary Act alone, , is so enormous, that it has completed the ruin of the renters or occupiers of land, whose condition was hard enough already. We•have seen letters from Ireland, in which this Police Tax is described as a new rent placed upon the shoulders of the occu piers. But its weight does not fall upon them only, but upon the landowners and the clergy„:.... It must evidently be impossible for an Irish tenant to pay his rack rent, tithes, rates imposed by Grand Juries, and this Police Ta x , for the sup port. of a large and particularly expensive army-- for we'believe the estimate for this police is consi. derably greater than for the same quota of his INlU jesty's troops'. Now the King's taxes must be Judd. The:county rates,' we are told are also ex_ traet e d by one Halms or another. he rate fo r the support of the' police must, of course be paid ---perhaps in preference. Defalcation, then, there 'must be by this time, and it falls of necessity upon the landlord and the clergy, ---How wretched is the state of Ireland ! That which preserves the peace of the country, carries with it wretchedness and insolvency. IVe do not say, that the tremendous burden heaped upon Ireland, in order to preserve quiet by sheer force and pressure„ can be diSpensed with. But what a melancholy tranquillity is that under the operation of ‘vhie s it landlords must go without' rents, the clergy without tithes, the faimers or renters of land, struggling half-rnined— asid•the labourers, of course, in a state of idleness and starvation. MARBLE PONDS OF PiRSTA.- - This natural curiosity consists• of certain pools, or 'pl as h es , whose indolent waters, by a slow and regular process, stagnate, concrete, and petrify, produc. ing that beautiful : transparent stone commonly called Tabriz , marble, much used in the burial places of Persia, and in their best edifices. These ponds are- contained.within the Circumfer. one of a mile, and their position is distinguished :by.heaps of stone, which have accumulated as the excavations have incressed:. Thopetrifactive process may 1 > traced from its cornmencent to . its termination : in one pafrt,,the water is clear; in a second; it appears thicker and stagnant; in i a third, quite black ; and in ts_ last stage it is white like a hoar. frost. Where the operation is complete, a stone thrown on its surface makes no impression, and a man may walk over it without ~vetting his shoes. Such is the constant tend ency of this water to become stone, that when it exudes from the ground in bubble s , the petrifac a!__. _ _ tion assumes a globular shape, as if the bubbles of a spring, by a stroke of magic,' had been ar rested in their play, and metamorphosed into stone. The substance thus produced is brittle, transparent, and sometimes richly streaked with green, red, and 4'opper-coloured veins. It ad mits of being cut into very large slabs, and takes a good polish. So much is this stone looked on as an articlq of luxury, that none.but the King, his sons, and persons privileged by special fir. man, are permitted to take it. Scioximit is derived from senior, age, formerly giving the only title to rank and precedence ° ; rhence also senate, an assembly of old men or a council of elders, VALET.— Bore!, in his Glossary, says, that the term " valet" was anciently applied to the King's eldest son ; and hence the valet, or knave, fol lows, the King and Queen hi a pack of cards. ENTLCMEN.-4 11 au ancient statute of Edward ILL there is ft distinction taken—the simple homme and the gentil-bonnie, which has led the ingenious Mr. Barrington to conjecture, that the sin/pie-how /le is John or Th om as, who bath no surname ; and in contradiction, he who bath a surname, or family name (from the word gees, which sometimes signifiesfantity) is styled genlil. bomme. Surnames are of no great antiquity in this country, the sons b e ing formerly distinguish cotileihr father, ytheir a C s hristian names joined to that of s George, the s on of John.

I. - IN R.; REDFORD CHARITY. TIIIS was an application by the trustees to be admitted to the examinations of the scholars, and to be allowed to appoint other llXtitilinations in French, algebra, arithmetic, and geometry, these being deemed necessary branches of commercial know ledge, in addition to the examination in the classical branches of education for which the school was originally founded. There was a complaint upon the affidavits, that the master of the school advanced his own pupils to fit them for examination, to the ne glect of the boys who were on the foundation. On the other side it was contended that the trustees had no right to be present at the examinations as trustees—that they had never been denied admission in their individual characters —that the school was founded for purposes of classical instruc tion—and that by repeated decisions of the Court, it had re fused to vary the purposes for which institutions of this nature were originally founded—that the visitatorial power was origi nally given, and had heen confirmed by an Act of the Sad of the late King, in the Warden and Fellows of New College, Oxford—and that the trustees had no right to take any part in the examinations of the scholars, much less to interfere with the mode of instruction, which were matters left by the statute entirely to the management of the iVarden and Fellows. The Loan CHANCELLOR expressed strong disapprobation at the allegation respecting the master of school, which of itself was reason enough for dismissing the petition. If the trustees had any complaints to make as to the conduct of the school, why did they not make them to the parties who were alone empowered to give any remedy—namely, the Wardens and Fellows of New College ? Ile admitted that there was a reservation in the act, which allowed an application to this Court in doubtful points respecting the appointnient and con duct of parties connected with the management of the school; but he did not conceive that this was a case in which his juris diction could be properly exercised. The first part of the prayer seemed to useless, as there was no proof of the trus tees haVing been denied admittance. As tO'tlie second prayer, the school had been founded for teaching grammarand classical bran Ches of education. To. these purposes (whether the wisest or not lie would not determine) the funds must be applied, ac cording to the design of the donor. Where would the trustees find the means to defray the charge of those fashionable branches of instruction for the institution of which they were so anxious ? Under all the circumstances, he was of opinion that he could not grant the order prayed for, and the petition must be dismissed. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, AUGUST 1. • DON JUAN.—LORD BYRON v. DUGDALE Mr. 'WAKEFIELD seid he had to make an application in this cause shinier to that which his Honour had granted a short time since against another defendant. The defendant Dugdalc had published a pirated edition of the 6th, 7th, and Oth Cantos of Don Juan, and the object . of the present application was to restrain him from continuing the publication. The VICEXIIANCF.I.LOII granted the injunction. • - • DEANE AND OTHERS V. PALMER AND OTHERS. Mr. WaxEFIELn stated that this was an application'for art injunction on behalf of the trustees of the Mutual Benefit In surance Institutioh, tcz prevent the defendants from advertising in the public papers, in the name of the National Benevolent Institution, and from receiving th e su b scr i pt i ons o f persons to that Institution. It appeared that the Mutual Insurance Be nefit Institution had formerly - existed under the 'name of the National Benevolent Institution, and that the defendants h a d been trustees to it. They had however been dismissed froM their situations, and the name of the Institution had been changed. The object of the present motion was to restrain them from advertising and receiving subscriptions in the name of the old Institution, which might operate to mislead the pub. lie and the subscribers, who possibly might not all be aware of the Change of name which had taken place. The ICE CHANCELLOR asked if it would not be sufficient to restrain them from receiving the subscriptions ? Itlr. WAKEFIELD answered in the negative. The VICE CHANCEL Loa they asked what was the object of the Institution, and how it was supported ? .111 r. lt'sxErtEt.n answered, hat the object was the main tenance of the aged and infirm Members of the Institution, and that it was supported by mutual contributions. He added that The Viten Cu.twor.Lz.on the number of its members amounted to above four thousand, who might be deceived by the use or the name of the old In eo:ll:ll::isuciattotel I ; ta ti t i l c b w e i e lo n l granted the - injunetion. .

A correspondent of ours, in the neighbourhood, has favoured us with the following account :—Ten cast of hawks, with four falconers, natives of Germany, to which country they repair annually in the autumn to catch a supply of hawks for the ensuing season, are, kept at Didington h ell, the seat of Major Wilson, near to which place is an extensive heronry. Every afternoon, during the months of May and June, the falconers are in attendance with the hawks in that spot which, from the position 'of the wind, is judged to be most favourable to the sport, where they are met by a very large party of ladies and g en tl emen o f the ileighbourhood; who, with their f r iend s f rom distant e,ounties, who visit them to enjoy the di version, have frequently been seen to exceed the number of 160 persons. The season of 1822 was very favourable to, the sport, 173 herons having been taken. This season the falconers have not been so fortunate, in consequence of the severity of the winter, which is su pposed to have destroyed many of the herons; but the lengths of the flights, and the superior, excellent, and good- training of the hawks, have much surpassed any preceding year. A description of a flight which took place in Mandfotd Field, a few days back, will give a faint idea of the enthusiasm with which this sport is pursued. A heron, on Its way from the he ronry to the fens, was seen, at a considerable distance going down wind. He was so far off that the falconers hesitated whether they could venture to unhood their hawks : but one of them having luckily upon his wrist a famous hawk, in which he had great confidence, cast him off alone. lie made instantly at the heron, who mounted higher into the air, though still adVancing rapidly in his course, The whole field was instantly in motion, and those only who have hunted with some of our crack packs of foxihounds can form an idea of the ardour with which .each person, including the ladies, strove to he foremost. The hawk . made numberless stoops at the heron:, which his activity and stoutness enabled him to avoid ; and it was not till some time after the birds had ceased to be visible to the chief part of the field that the hawk was enabled, after repeatedly striking his quarry, to bring him to the ground. The flight, was so rapid, that of the numerous party' who started with the hawk, not more than 4or 5 persons were up at this interesting moment.— It lasted 26 minutes, and the distance from point to point exceeds 6 miles. The height to which the birds, rose, was so great, that to use an ex pression of the falconer's," they were six steeples in the air, no bigger than humble.bees."--(Sport he. Magazine.) '' ATTENTIVE WIFE ! The. following curious ad vertisement appears in are American paper : " Notice is hereby given, that all persons are forbid trusting any liquor, to Andrew Scarlett, (my husband,) whereby he gets drunk and makes to beast of himself! All persons therefore, are cautioned against letting him have a drop of any kind, for I pay no debt of his contracting for Liquor.—SA RAH SCA R LETT." -- FOIL THE SUN. THEATRICALS. - Mr. EDITOR- - A visit a few evenings ago . to the Theatre in the Haymarket, at which the Beggar's Opera was performed, furnishes ass opportunity for making a few passing observa tions on the manner of female singers on, the stage, as compared with what I conceive to be a more natural, and consequently a more pleasing method of singing. The House was completely filled with a highly respectable audience, long before the end of the first Act ; and by the of the next it was crowded, so as to refl.. der the heat oppressive. The Opera itself is too well known to require a description here ; and if our Actresses can permit critieism, Unaccom panied by harsh censure I will briefly point out, wherein I think they may improve their - per formances. In most of them, a marked and au dible sucking up of breath,, a loud sipping in of the air, or inhaling it, which forms a sibilitting: catch at almost every pause, is but too obser-- vable. They also generally raise one hand. towards the - breast, when a rather forcible part of their task occurs, without, however, touching' the body ; this, therefore, I regard as needless, while from being c ons t ant l y repeated, it has the stamp of mannerism upon it. They would sing with far greater apparent ease to themselves, were it not for the two slight defects just noticed, easily remedied, and which rarely if ever add any thing to the gratification, that singing is so well calculated to afford. Another point, in which some of the best of our female voices tnight considerably improve, is by giVing the middle notes at greater length than they are accustomed. to do, and by dwelling less strongly upon the extremes of the scale. The foregoing remarks by no means apply exclusively to one whom I had the pleasure to see on that evening; they are general to the profession in this country. The character of Macheath by Madame VESTRIS, however pleasing in itself, does nut exactly rea lite that which we look for ; indeed a good tenor, male voice is indispeOsible for the part. Our actresses would benefit their enunciation, in some measure, by stml.Ting this lady's method of utterance, which is among the' purest, and being joined to a naturally clear voice, is thereby rendered highly attractive. It is true that this lady has had the great advantage of tra velling, and of thereby becoming much better acquainted with the faults of foreign pro nunciation ; for in this much consists.
