'III.E 140NDON JOURNALS. terday. The psoposition was to contract for a loan for the service of the " Order of St. John of jirusalern." This excited no little surprise among the monied interest, who at first regarded the affair as unworthy of their notice, We shall, however, give publicity to the c•;planation al forded by the parties concerned of the motives for this undertaking ; premising that we offer no opinion—that is, no favourable opinion—on the nature of the security. The object, then, of this loan is said to be, the very extraordinary one of establishing the Knights of Sr. John of Je rusalem, commonly called the Knights of Malta, once more in the situation of a sovereign order, and confiding to them the government of op pressed and enslaved Greece, in order that a barrier misty be Conned against the Turks, and the Greeks supported in their struggle for liberty, without the necessity for any of the powers of Europe to take part on either side. The residence or Court of the Knights is to be fixed in one of the Greek islands, which is to be ceded to them for th►t purpose ; and the money raised is to be employed in intro ducing a better organization into the Greek armies, in enabling them the more effectually to resist their invaders, and finally to establish their independence. It is further stated, that the whole plan obtained the sanction of the Powers lately as sembled at the Congress of Verona, and has only been suspended by the Into► contest in Spain. Upon this project, however; we must take the liberty of observing, that England (we believe, and the matter is not worth investigating) stood bound by the Treaty of Amiens to restore the Island of Malta to the Knights of St. John when ever their order was completed ; that Buonaparte, at the re-commencement of the war, assigned as one cause for hostilities on his part, aur ► perfidy in retaining the Island ; and our justification was, that there were no Knights to whom we could restore it, and that there was no posslb►lity at the Order ever could be restored. r'NEw Tutu.] Yesterday was a IFoliday at the Bank ; bti some business was done in the latter part o the day in Consols, wh ich closed at 8311. Nothing can more distinctly shew the ebun dance of money at the present moment than the fact that Exchequer Bills now bear the extraordinary high Premium of '4Bs. ; and India Bonds, 78s. ! Th;• arrangement mentioned in The New Times some days since, as being about to be put in execution by the East India Company, of paying off their present:out. standing Bills for the purpose of reducing 'tlie interest, has already commenced, nod the. in fluence •of so large a sum of : money cooling into the Market tends, no doubt, to produce the present high prices of all real Securities,. bearing a reasonable interest.—Spanish Bonds fluctuated about one per Cent., but in other respects nothing worthy of notice occurred yesterday at the ' Stack Exchange, kept a Loan for the' K nights of Malta may be so consi dered. The ingenuity of our moneyed men,. seems taxed to the utmost to find: out persons to lend their loose cash to. We should as soon have thought of lending half a million to the Poor Knights of Windsor as to the Knights of Malta; but.lastes no doubt differ. The money it seems is to be repaid when the Order of St. John of Jerusalem has recovered its estates in Fiance ; and it 'will recover its estates as soon as it has got " a local habitation, and a name." 'What it ' wants just now with so much. money, we are not informed ; perhaps it is to set up again the Co. losses of h.hodes., EBRlTisli Fa t:Sa.j Justice and humanity both, imperatively call for immediate attention, from the !lightest autho rities, to the present state of the prison of New gate. There are now no less than forty-three unhappy inmates within those walls —thirty nine males and four femafies—under sentence of death, and all but. twelve tying over, in that dreadful state, from the September Sessions. Can the Secretary oT State for the Home De partment be aware of this, and suffer so many wretched beings thus to lie for weeks—" in torture of the mind and restless agony ?" We are opposed. to Mr. Peel's politics, both upon principle end conviction; yet in every private feeliug that can fit him for his high office, as well as every public qualification,—and humanity among the first is the most distinguishieg,—we believe him much superior todtis cold-hearted and wretched prede cessor. Torture is now, by common sanction, abolished throughout Europe ; it forms no longer a horrid part of the criminal judicature of this country ; yet what agony can be so cruel, its that misery of mind, where the wretched victim, whose days the law has, numbered, rises each morning with the fears of every hour bringing the fatal confirmation of his sentence, and lies down in his cell at night, not knowing whether the coming day, that will rise upon hint may not be one of his last. The sentences prouounced at that hall, of death—the Old I3a►ley,and delivered with such heartless flip pancy by the City Judge, who is the organ of that Court,should be laid with► as little delay as possible before the King, and his Majesty's opinion at once taken on the cases of the unhappy individuals. If' the victim is to die, he ought to know it, and pre pare for his fate ; but to keep him in uncertainty is dreadful. There is no necessity to wait his Ma jesty's holding a Court, to submit these melan choly records to him : the King might, on proper application, be seen at Windsor on any day, and his decision obtained. No business besides can be of such importance, as the lives of so many human beings forfeited by law, and waiting their fate front the Royal hand. 'lids is a subject which calls for prompt attention from the respectable Sheriffs of London, ehuse. active exertions have done them so much honour since they entered upon office ; humanity requires it.at their hands : they ought to have an immediate interview with the Home Secretary, so as to have the fate of the many individuals, now lying convicts in New gate, mercifully decided with as little delay as possible, and such cruel procrastination pre. vented by proper exertion for the future. 1 From the LONDON GAZETTE, Nov. 4.

Francis Reginald Forbes (now Secretary of his Majesty's Legation at Copenhagen) to be Secretary to his Majesty's Legation at Lisbon. The King has also been pleased to appoint Peter.

DAILY ih.t; pont the' Morning Papers, November 5.. ,ploitNvio POST.I A lfiutrid tlazette of the 28th ult., received yesterday, .has brought us another Decree from Fersfinand, issued ,tit Seville on theZ2d.=-- It is prof ably• intended to caN the fears and ar rest the., flight of the thousands` of distinguished individuals who have- applied for passports to leave otor country, before the Absolute Mottarch has returned to his Capital .and tak en the ENeCt.l. five of veage . ance into his own hands. But if .it be mama to produce hOett an effect, the manner in which it is drawn Up is not calculated to ad ,vauot the end in view. Vor how can any class of S.'oatOrds, known to have support ed Constitu ',dotted priocilries, trust to the future moderation and justice of -man, who refers to his Violent arid perjtirious Decrees„ as a proof that " ever since the first moment of his restoration to free dom, Ws paternal mind has sought to tix the fn tiitiit "Jut of all his subjects, in order that the y live in security II" His intimation, that after 111.5 arrival at 'Madrid he will " meditate on i‘ ;he subject, alley inalte known. his Sovereign r e ;orating that will according to.his natural would be : sullielenqvt, sliriald think, to convince every ConstitutiontillsOn' his senses; wl)o. has any regard for his personal sl:fetyi: of the increased necessity of flight. ,-.4- 1 1"ne 44 natUral. clemency " of .Ferdinandl I,,et the chains, the dungeons, the arbitrary ex ecutions (after: they had been acquitted succes sively by all the Tribunals in Spain) of the men -*ha fought his battles from 1803 to 181'2, and preserved his Crown—Let those , acts of mon strous cruelty and still move monstrous ingrati tude, proclaim the clemency of his nature. And: yet, we ore told, such an assurance as this was " the utmost which the Duke d'Angouleme cu tld: obtain." if so, the fate - of Spain , is sealed,-thel boasted influence of the Deliverer is at ail end„! and all t hat remains for him is to feel tcyitsatAl, extent,. Dna to lament in repentance and shame, ,the disc and misfortune of his victory. • [meaNtria clittoNrcr.r.] Many of the friends to the Gret.i. cause were n good deal alarmed yesterday by the appear mice of proposals for a Loan of 6.10,0001. for the service of the Knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Tha t the Greeks are justified in gsasping at whatever presents itself in the shape of aid, in their present difficulties, every person possessed of any thing Bite candour must allow. They are struggling for their existences, and if they can obtain the means of combating their enemy through the instrumentalit y of the Knights of Malta, we do not wonder. •that Ihel !Mould be disposed to close with them. We must at the ...time time, however, declare, that we view the bolstering op this old monkish order with a very jealous eye. Neither do we l:ke the language of, the rroposals, which seems to us calculated to excite objection 011 the part 'of GrOVeennlent.---" Linonaparte captured Malta, but Great Britain. having conquered thel*land from the Flench,it was finally cf , tled toherby the Treaty "of Paris in 1814." This seems to point oat a taw in the title, by which Malta is held by os.— Whet the extent of the cessions is, which have been made to thew Knights of Malta, Wel:Ml.ow not. But it is obvious that the establishment of thatOrtler,, as Sovereigns, in any considerable part of Greece, will not only be very inju.-1 rious to the natives, who will have exchanged one set of Brigands for another, but it will open a door to all manner of intriguing on the part of the Powers of the West, who name the members of the Order. Why attempt to revive `barbarous Institution of the middle ages in times like the present? Why should we dishonour Christianity by the spectacle of Monkish Knights, vowing chastity, and living like Buccaneers ?--- We 'are sure Government will set their faces against this attempt. Indeed wt' should think Ministers blind to the interests of the country if they allowed a body of this description to regain a footing in the East. IiIOO.NING HERALD._ W e heretofore stated that the customary no tices had been given throughout the country of the contemplated intention to apply to Perna :llPM for an Act to authorize the building of a bridge at Hammersmith, across the Thames, to Barnes. Such notice has called forth remon strances ; the most prominent of which has been placarded about Hammersmith, Ken ington, Barnes, &c. It reminds the public,, end those whom it may concern, that the " ancient ferries," which reach from Kew to Battersea, are " private property ;" that they, as , well as much other private property, must receive compensation before such bridge can be used ; that to give an idea of the value of, the 44 ancient ferries " alone, it is stated that the proprietors of them received, from Fulham Bridge alone, as compensation, 10,0001. ; and that the site of the intended bridge is an " iso lated " situation. It also remarks on the pre. sent prices of the shares of the Waterloo Bridge, the Vauxhall Bridge, and the Southwark Bridge ; bridges which are close upon well-populated places. The shares of the first bridge, where the 100/,had been paid, were 51.; of the second bridge, Sit ; and of the third bridge, 181. These " prices" it will be borne in mind, 'are only quoted from the printed statement against the projected lfamniersmith Bridge. The statement, besides observing on the unpromising character of the sitter 'of the proposed bridge, sets forth that there are already four bridges in the range of the • Thames from Hyde Park Corner to Kew. This Bill, though the subject', as might be expected, has occasioned a vast deal of controversy, has not yet received any distinct public answer ; but the notices of the contemplated application to Parliament remain affixed td. the Hammersmith Church doors, in the Sessions Houses of Middle- SeX, Westminster, &c. LTHE TIMES•] In this age of loans, a loan of a very singular kind was proposed on the Stock Exchange yes- TILE LATE MURDER. • The following reflections are from notes taken of a Sermon preached on Sunday evening at St. Sepulchre'a Chuich,•by the Reverend . Dr. RtmciE, in allusion to this atrocious murder; and as they contain good :Kielce on the vice of Gaming to which which it leads, we hope they will be found useful " If thou, 0 young man ! hast hitherto walked in the-vanity of thy mind, and given indulgence to thy passions -if than bast sipped the cup of forbidden pleasure, and hest eaten the forbid. den fruit of unrighteousnetis—if thou hest gone to that place, of which it is truly said that its chambers lead to the portals of the grave, and of hell, bid thee pause—l beseech thee eman. cipate thyself from the logs and. fetters of thy sins, to rid thee of their weight and pressure, and to follow the poor and imp.: tent cripple at Bethesda into the Temple, where Christ shall find thee, and where, if thou bitterly bewailest thy tranfigres.: sions, and promisest faithfully to sin no more," all' thy backsliding shall be no more remembered, •the stains of thy sins shall be washed out, and all thy impieties be forgiven ! 'Sin no more, lest a relaPite should cause worse things to fall upon thee, lest thou shcultiest be cast into that place, where are weeping, and gnashing of teeth—where the tire ever burned), and the flame is never quenched ! And here of all the pas. siors, from which I would warn thee, most earnestly do I be.: seech all to avoid the destructive one of gambling. Of the woeful lengths. to which it leads we have now one, most melan4 choly instance, added to the list of the many who have fallen a sacrifice to the indulgence of this desolating vice : for to what but to the gratification of this murderous propensity, is to be Ascribed that atrocious and. cold-blooded crime, which is now SO froth in the recollection, so agonizing to the feelings, and so lowering and deepading to the character of Englishmen ? The answer cannot but be, that the murderer's hands were steeped in the blood of a brother, by the murderer's heart hav ing first become leavened with the malignant qualities of this Atrocious and self.destructive passion If its indulgence ba permitted it will inevitably lead thee into bail company and criminal associations„ and render thee bankrupt in property, lost .in character, and ruined soul ; and as vice is not sta. tionsry, but the little leaven of iniquity leaveneth the whole lump, and propels from crime to crime, so will it hurry thee from the commission of one viii to the perpetration of another, ,and at last madden thee on to imbrue thy hands either in thine own blood, or the blood of some Victim of thy vengeance, or song; partner of thy crimes! With the Apostle then', whose words you have heard this night from the desk, I would Con clude and advise you, with respect to thia.pasaion,.at you would value the moral • death and purity of your souls, touch not.— taste not—handle not. Rom Potrrttiuss.—The father of the M pre sent' Lord AUGDON, who was rem a rk able for the stateliness of his maw" rs, one day riding through a village in the vicinity of Oxford, met a lad dragging a calf a long the road : who, when his Lordship came up to him, made a stop, and stared him full in the face. Ms Lordship asked the boy if he knew him, He replied, " Ees." " What is my name ?—" Why Lord ABINGPON," answered the lad. 44 Then why don't you take off your hat ?" 4 4 1, I will sur," said the boy, " if ye'll hold the calf." LAW INTELLWENCF,.

In this case Mr. Hoax e begged to refer his Lordship to the statement of Mr. Justice Parg who presided at the trial, and to the opinion .oft that, Learned-Judge.relative to. the contract; he, Mr. liornP had the proceedings in the motion for a new trial, to whieh ' Mr. Justice Parkfatliied some. marginal notes which. he submitted to his Lordship's attention.

House of Lords has decided that this Court can look at nothing else. If both sides are ready, let me have the information on Thursday. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 4. lEADTRER V..IIRX AND BISHOP. Mr. Tnsr.ovE stated the case—Mr. Bishop, solicitor, had obtained an .award . ngainst Mr.- Radtree. Mr. Radtree subse quently procured an order to set aside the award, and also a bill of injiniction to stay all proceedings attendant on the award.. Mr. Bishop, however, brought an action at law against Mr. Radtree. For this breach of his Honour's order Mr. Tres love moved that Mr. Bishop„, and Mr. Kirk, his clerk, should be committed to the Fleet'Prison. Mr. Cloorpt stated, on the part of. defendants, that the ac tion brought by Mr. Bishop against Mr. Radtree had no con nection with the law proceedings on which.the award and in-, had been granted ; therefore it was not a breach of his Honour's order; further, that' a committal could not be made without the production of the Bill of Injunction in the Court, which was not the case at present ; as to Mr. kirk he was not subjectto* „jurisdiction of, the Court; he was only cleric to Mr. 'Whop, and the Bill 'of Injunction reached only to the attorney,, solicitor, and agent. His Ilosorin discharged the motion against Kirk, with costs, and ordered that against Mr. Bishop to stand over. -=:►~- COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 4.

Witness did not hear Mr. Hodgson say that such goods must be insured, or they never could hold themselves answerable, or that it was Im proper to pack goods so valuable in so slight a box. Mr. Hodg son did not express any doubt of the goods having been packed in the box. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, for the defendant, stated that the extreme weight of the box, as delivered at Pickford's, at Man. cheater, was 'cwt. 2qrs. 91b. ; and on delivery at Birmingham, it weighed lcwt. 2qrs. 71b. and ra fraction.

Got the watch on Stmday morinng, paid 10s., and wefitaway in the afternoon. The price of the watch was 21.105. Was in at Witrwiclefor an assault. It was against his will. The Castle is a strong place, or he would not have been there. He' belongs to the army; has been three' years, come next year, in the Tower Hamlets: shan't answer you any more : that there has nothing to do with this here." (The witness was restored to his good temper by the,persuasion of the Court.) The watch had been restored by. Mr. Goodman Levi. Cornelius Reading, in the service of Pic.kford., proved the delivery of the crate of hats to Webb in November last year, together with a ticket of the usual form. A ticket was put in and read., Mr. Justice Bunnouou complained of the dictatorial and irreponsible manner in which carriers undertake the conveyance of goods to the entire alteration and subversion of the old law of the land.

The parties he aPPecCa for were willing to give an undertaking- to pay the money on the 24111. Dr. LuSIIING TON suggested that the monition might issue, but should not be enforced.
