THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY tatracts from the Morning Papers, July B. itilE TIMM) The years' and quarters of years' revenues of the last and preceding years, respectively,' have Made their appearance according' to custom. Of the manner in which the nation has been' taxed some idea may be formed from the following facts :—We have now been eight years at pea Ce. During this period Ministers have been forced — how unwillingly 1-leaven and the Country know . —to reduce the expenditure, and consequently the taxation, repeatedly ; not once or twice only, not upon one or two articles, but upon many articles, and by many successive reductions. Still, notwithstanding all these acts of alleviation, the effect, even now, of any fresh diminution of a tax, is directly to reduce the revenue ; the people in no case so increasing their consumption of the article released, as to fill up the vacuity occasioned by the lower rate of taxation to which the article is sub jected. h is obvious that so long as this continues to be the case, taxation is not hi a wholesome state — it presses too heavily ; and , further reduction is necessary. The whole earth (with the exception of the town of Cadiz, cordially encircled by the forces of our loving friends, the Bourbons) is open to our enterprises. Population increases at home, and consequently consumption ; our manu factures are active, the transactions between man and man ought to be multiplied. Still our Cus toms are not perceptibly increased beyond barely filling up some rednction of the tonnage duty : our Exo..e Revenue is greatly diminished ; the Stamps and Post-office are all but stationary ; and, upon the whole, the revenue of last year is nearly two millions less than that of the year preceding. The particulars' o n which this rea soning is founded will' he seen' in the tables. — If any one asks us whether this' is' a Very cheer ing state of affairs, we Certainly answer " Yes ;" that we hardly expected that so much could' have been wrung from' the hands of Mi.' nisterS; that . past success affords hope for the future ; and the necessity of fresh exertions is proved t by the facts which we have stated. The present are days of peace ;- who knows how Yong they may, or rather how long they' ought to con tinue? Let us take advontage of them.• Upon one circumstance w'e certainly' congr - atulate the country : the foolery . of «' the equitable adjust ment," which we never' ceased from exposing, is' dying away ; and, though but slowly, coosider~ ing the probable exigenCies of the times and the uncertainty of peace, we are endeavouring to rectify our concerns in the way of honest men, and by the triaxilM of common sense. [rttiv° We recur with pleasure to the Meats which we yesterday published exclusively We observed that there , had been a'ves4 reduc . flint of taxation ; that the, revenue nevertheless greatly exceeded the expenditure ; and that the increased produce of certain taxes in the course of last quarter, compare&with the corresponding , portion of the preceding year, afforded decisive evidence of melioration in the general .state of the national affairs. On each of these three points some additional remarks may be advisable; 1. Since, the peace, his Majesty's Government has laboured indefatigably to relieve the country from the most burthensorne taxes; end incredible as it may sound, not less than twen!y live' millions of annual taxation has actually been taken off, in cluding Property Tax, War Malt Tax, Customs, Exports, Tonnage, Windows in Ireland, Excise on Malt, Husbandry Horses, Silk, Hides, Salt, Assessed Taxes, Tonnage Duty and Spirits in Ireland, &c. c9cc. By the judicious mode in which these bUrthens have been removed, the actual resources of the ()country have been strengthened, and the removal of one tax has been immediately followed by a marked increase in the pro ductiveness of some other branches of die Revenue. t The retrenchments in the publio expenditure have been so indefatigably 'mutated by Ministers, that the repeal of taxes his not only produced a deficit, but .has even left a surplus.— By comparing the Income anti Charge of the Consolidated Fund for the corresponding Quarters of 1822 and 1023, we perceive that while in the former the Income was 12,471,451/. and the Charge 13,40,919/. leaving a deficiency of 905,408/. ; in the latter the Income was 11,955,1341. and the Charge only 10,335,0001. presenting a surplus of 1,620,1341. 3. While the Duties on Malt and Salt have been so largely thduced that! on Beer, Tobacco, and Snuff mark a great in ereiiiie in the consumption of these articles. On Beer, the Ex cise Duty for the July Quarter was, in 1822,7444921.; in 1823, 007,2401. On Tobacco and Snuff, in 1022, It was 556,9004 ; in 1023, 72 , 1,2151. Beside these, there was also an increase on the respective articles of Bricks, Candies, Coffee, Cyder, Blass, Licences, Soap, Starch, Sweets, Vinegar, Wine, and Wire.— it is impossible not to see that most of these circumstances indi este a great increase of _substantial comfort and enjoyment among the lower classes. of society. The increase in the tad de of Wine, which is from 211,7081. to 245,8521. seems to prove somewhat of a corresponding improvement in the shua uon of the higher class. —A still further improvement may not be unrea sonably expected in the course of the next twelvemonth ; nor does it seem unreasonable to hope that, as the Five per Cent. Stocks have teen reduced to Fours, so the old Fours may be 'sauced to Three and a Half, if not to Three. GoVernment will doubtless be on the watch to avail 'itself of uny diminution in the current interest of money. Without such diminution in the general market it would be idle to attempt to reduce the .National Funds ; but if the state sit Public Credit should permit a low interest of Monergetierally, the benefit to the National in dustry would be indeed marked and striking. We shall Only make one more remark—lt is, that all these advantages have been, preserved to us by the wise policy of Neutrality. if Ministers bad listened to the frantic declatisations with which the present Session of ParliaMent has abounded, and had plunged the country into at wilt for the support of a petty jaeObinical faction in Spain i not only should t4' . e not now find our finances in their present flourishing condition, but we should have been left, as principals, to sustain a war of ruinous expellee, without objeCt, and without as ignable [MORNING 8031,3 We have received letters from Cadiz of the i4th ult. Their contents are important, as they set at rest the unfounded assertions of the enemy respecting the pretended defenceless state of that place. Not only is there an adequate military force, but troops were preparing to move from Cadiz to the assistance of the constitutionalists in other parts. It is also an important fact to tmovr that an immense number of the population, not only of Seville, but of the neighbouring towns had fernoVed to the hie of Leon rather' than submit to the invaders. Let them boast after this of being " will received" by the people, we shah' know how to appreciate . their welcome. The following is an extract.:— CAnfz,. Jur.r ; 24.--LOn the 15th entered the King; the Government' the cotes,. and a large escort of troops ? and at the same time a O fi siderable Proportion of the population, not only of Seville but of the tbivns in this neighbourhood: The day subsequent to the departure of the King fro Seville there was' a great diStUrbance rte that city influenced by the Priests and Friars; and from which resultettufany disgraceful scenes and dreadful robberies ;" this laded nearly three days, when Lopez Banoz, at the head of part of hia army, entered that place, and by giving tip'to serious punishment many of those who so richly deserved it, restored tranquillity.' I s this place many troops are getting ready for marching, and some are already on their way. The Minister of War has destroyed himself, and it is believed that it is in consequence of the con: spiracy for carrying oft' the King front' Seville having been found out." The magnificentidonation'whith We announced - yesterday, by an anonymous individual, of 50001. to the fund for the assistance of the brave Spa niards, who are fighting for the independence of their eduntry, is one of those occurrences whtch justify a feeling of national pride in the boson) of every Englishman. It implies, on the part of the contributor, the possession of immense wealth, attended not by those sordid and selfish feelings which are usually found to contribute to its acquisition, but by the most generous and noble emotions of philanthropy, and by the vigour and soundness of judgment which recog nizes in the cause of Spain the universal inte rests of mankind. It is indeed a noble offering, placed on the altar of human freedom, which, whilst it exalts the individual character of the munificent devotee, presents to others such an example as can scarcely fail to fan the zeal which animates this whole nation of fellow wor shippers.—Whilst such men are in existence, we feel that the liberties of the world are safe.—No alliance of arbitrary Sovereigns, uo combination of brute force, no efforts of hollow and cold hearted sophistry, will be found sufficient to ex tinguish the sacred light of freedom, whilst the spirit which alone can prompt tb'such deeds, re tains its influence over the minds of men.— (bid) [MORNING CIIRONI . CMI It is a melancholy troth that the Spanish' ..sters have not answered the expectations of heir countrymen, nor have adequate prepare- .ions been Made to withstand the storm that has so long !teen gathering over the country. It is the conviction of this fact that has made the French march on with such' rapidity, and spread themselves at such an immense' distance from the basis of their operations. The immediate effects are to be lamented; but, in the result, - they will recoil on the invaders.' Both the Government and inhabitants' of Spain had been lulled into a kihd of security by the direct assurances they had received that the invasion would not take place,and thif indirectitisinuations Omit' it did, an auxiliary force Would lie sent to*tbelf aid. This, no doubt,. has, partly deceived them ; nor went the people at largo altogether certain as tti' views of the French, or the plan of attack they would . atlept. Hence the Government had lingered inz Seville, .when they ought at once to have gone to Cadiz, fat . it Was' thence only the signal of resistance could be given tolhe Provinces. Tilt then the affairs of Spain wore the appearance of donbtl and uncertainty, and seemed to indicate the pro bability, that through foreign mediation some com promise would take place. Fortunately,-the acts of the Madrid Regency, and the withdraw. ing of the Constitutional Government to Cadiz, have put an end to all negociations, of which the French could dictate the terms. The several . Provinces must now calf forth their own' re sources, anti rid themselves,. not by pitched battles, but by Guerilla warfare, of an enemy, whose position at the present moment is the most precarious that can be imagined.---The ex tremity of the French line in Andalusia most probably will be the first attacked. The two divisions, chiefly consisting of' cavalry, were sent from Madrid post-haste, most assuredly, not fur the purpose of besieging Cadiz, but to carry ofd' the person of the King by a coup ac main. 13e ing .foiled in the attempt, they must blockade, not the town, but the bay of Cadiz, by placing strong corps in Rota, Port - Saint Marys, Puerto Real, and in advance of La Isle, keeping open their communications in the rear, in order to re; ceive supplies, by also posting a division in Chi. clans, Xerez de la Frontera, St. Lucar, and Se ville, united operations which will take at least twenty thousand men. [MORNING HERALD.] The state of Ireland is truly disheartening. It exhibits all the symptoms of a desperate case —with every now and then a dash of the ludi. crous. The task of Lord Wellesley seems like that of a mistress who undertakes to manage two rival lovers; with the difference of his being in finitely the more difficult. It is known how furiously the jealousy of the Orangemen ex-' ploded as soon as the gallant Marquis showed a glimpse of the colours of the rival party.--r The ferment, however, gradually subsided—ad vances were mutually made—the Lord Lieutenant dined with the repentant Beef-Steak Club, which had expressed, in ne very civil phrase, the wish to be rid of lArn—the Orangemen returned the compliment, by issuing a manifesto against dress log the statue and the other mummeries of the first of July, and, finally, the Lord Lieutenant has formally thanked them through the medium of his Secretary. This was too much for the rival zealots, who have begun to vent their jea , . lousy, hitherto only in expressions of pettish and unjust complaint—so much for the hopes of on , ciliation. The Orange Manifesto, though backed by the joint in fl uence of the overnment and the Constituted Authorities, as they may be called, of the Association, was not completely successful. Some paradings took place at Newry, and in the County 'Tyrone, in which blood .was shed. The hitter, if truly stated, was a desperate affair., A party of dra goons, out on a search for illicit distilleries, were rfired on by a band of Ribbonmen. The soldiers jof course returned the fire. Eleven Ribbonmen, two dragoons, and three horses, were left dead on the field, and several were seriously wounded. How far the Ribbonmen are or are not identical with ii- licit distillers We know not, big it is not unlikely that the spirit of whiskey had as much to do in this conflict as that of party. In either case the thing is lamentable. lad it occurred in Spain, ;it would have figured in a French Bulletin; and afforded a text for those who moralize orr the horrors of revoldtioniin hypocritical condolences with the Spaniards. ft appears that the British Constitution, strengthened and ratified by the insurrection and armed Police Acts, can produce fruit a$ bitter as even the Constitution . of the Cortes. rtht rrtstt PRES 3.3 It lie matter of curiosity to consider the changes of the Beer Bill, which has jest passed through both Houses, in connection with the arguments on behalf of the freedom of trade, and the injustice of all controdon operative labour, which were resorted to for the purpose of getting a majority in favour of the repeal of the Spitalfields Act . Our Ministers have got into the habit of refusing every thing to reason ; while they pay a proper cOmpliment to her principles when they chance to meet them in the way : they act towards her as some persons do by religion, who hold themselves loosened from all obedience to her precepts, while they bow with great sanctity as they pass by her shrine. Can any act of commercial injustice be more unmea sured, than, the requiring a nevi sort of beer to he brewed by Art of Parliament, and prohibiting the brewed from making it on the same premises in which their old beer is brewed. If men are subjected to, the necessity of erecting new premises, and incurring all the arious other expences attendaw, on a se iterate manufactory, must they, not reimburse, themselves by laying the cost on the price of the article, and levying it, con .sequently, on the consumer . ? Heavens defend us what, have the new lights of Political Economy brought us no further than this I Can this study furnish no better sample of its progress? But we are told by Lord Bexley, that "this is an experiment to provide the public with palatable beer, and it could not be fairly tried if the beer were to be brewed on the same premises with the present beer, the temptation to mix them would be so great." Stop a moment. How is this P Ministers, in matters of reasoning, seem to move in an orbit of their own. Will the beer thus to be provided for the public be made more palatable, by reason of the increased expenco of a second plant, and a double establishment ? Will it re. ceive any additional relish from this necessary increase of price ? For either the price of this new beer must be raised to meet the increased expence, or the quality of the article must be lower ed to indemnify, this additional cost. There is - nothing in either process, that we can see, likely to contribute to the richness of the wort --nothinglikely to make the commodity more palatable than heretofore, when it finds its way from the working tun to the barrel I and as for the temptation to mix the diffe rent brewings if carried on upon the same premises, what is there to counteract the Ingenuity of fraud in the erection of new' premises ? Must Parliament Violate all' the principles of free trade, in order to keep the trader to the principles of fair dealing? If Lord Bexley expects to findan equivalent for this; in the additionaltitienrh of the' entire butt, his cakurations must proceed upon other data , . than we can discover , Ile may say, perhaps, of the Beer Bill, as hi 4 late coadjutor once said of the whole systeM, that " it works - well ;" if it does, we can only pay that the pblitical fermentation gives a' very difltrent result' from the operations' of the mash tttn.

On Wednesday morning (2d inst.), at a very early hour, one of those daring violations of the law, so peculiar to the ower orders of this distracted country, attended With the loss of several lives, occurred in the parish of Castlehaven, within three miles of Skibbereen, in the west of this county. The facts, which we have from very competent authority, ate as follow : —The rector of the parish, the Rev. It. Mont, finding it im misible to obtaiti his tithes, their being 3 . years due, and in the lust year having experienced mneli opposition in obtaining them, he was determined to submit his case to the bench of Magistrates assembled in iSetty session, from whom he received a warrant of distress, which was intrusted to his prottor, who, with five other meri, Were appointed special constables, to execute it on the parties ; and for the more effecteal preservation of the peace, a party of the police, consisting of Lieut. Ilackshavt, four mounted and seven diatnounted, stationed at Skibbereen, were Ordered to assist. Accordingly, they proceeded to the ground, where they seized some cattle, which, the country people, who assembled in great numbers, resisted, with showers of stones, when' a dreadful' scene ensued. The police and con stables Were obliged, in their own defence, having given up the idea of the cattle, to keep up a constant fire, which was as de terminedly resisted by • the country people with vollies of stones, which were kept up with such determination on their part, that the police and constables were obliged to retreat, leas , mg one of the police named Bowen, and the proctor, named Driscoll, killed, and several of the party were wounded. The country people had two shot dead, and ten or twelve wounded ; five arc reported to be dangerously so. Such was the rapi dity' of the retreat, that Lieutenant Ilackshaw lost his cap, which was knocked off by a stone. On the account reaching Skibbereen, Capt. Baldwin, a Magistrate, with a party of the rifle brigade and such of the police as were able, hastened to the place, but we have not heard of any persons being taken. The ferocity ofthe country people wasexhibittsl inn most disgraceful manner, having wedged a stone into the dead policeman's mouth, which they forced in with another ! Letterti, were received in town from the Magistrates, requiring the attendance' of a Coroner, to holden inquest, which is appointed for this day, when we have no doubt, from the spirit and intelligence of the Magistrates of that part of the county, that a strict investigation of this dis tressing affair will take place. On the intelligence of the affray having reached this city, Mr. Morritt, who had arrived only a day or two before, returned with all possible speed. We can not close this article without adverting to the system ' pursued ,1 towards the clergymen of the Established Church, in the col-, lection of their tidies. In some places the disinclination to pay them is such, that the lower orders - have bound themselves by oath to resist and we haVe been informed, that the parish of CaitlehaVen forms a striking, and', We are sorry to say,- a la- mentable example of the truth of o'd remarks. , [Front the Newry Telegraph.] We hafe heretofore thine testimony to the loyalty and peace able dispoSition of the generalitY of the loWer order§ in tint town and neighbotirhood ; and sorry We are to have this day the task of noticingoecurrences such as took place on the nights of Sa turday and Monday (28th and 30th ult.) On the former night (being St. Peter's eve), an immense Multitude assembled, to the amount of 400 or 500, and abotit ten o'clock began to peram bulate the streets, accompanied by music, and carrying on a pole what they called a garland. We ourselves witnessed the disorderly and riotous conduct of thiii• mob, whose noisy pro gress carried alarm to every family.. But what we most depre cate in such a tumultuous procession—which some May con sider quite harmless and innocent—is the fact that it irritated and provoked another party, and thereby engendered animosity and strife. , On Monday night, a motley concourse of persons, including men, women, and children, amotinting, (as we are informed) to several hundreds, assembled in procession, with drums and music, to celebrate the Ist of July. A Randier of them' were pro vided with muskets and other lire-ants, With which they con tinued firing for several hourg, to the great annoyance of the in habitants who had retired to rest. This great multitude conti nued to traverse the town during a part of the night, playing party tunes, and tiring at interval s.' Here we have to men tion a most attrocious affair. About two o'clock, White they were passing over Canal-street bridge, a shot was fired among the multitude, which took effect on one or two individuals, who were wounded slightly. It was not observed from what direction the shot came t but Mr. Bloxham, who was at hand, concealed himself at the corner of the bridge, for the purpose of discovering the dastardly villains who had fired. He had not been an instant there, when he petceived the flash of a pis tol from the bow of a sloop called the Victory, which was lying at the left of the bridge. The sloop was immediately boarded by Illoxliani and several others, when Henry Sherry, Bernard Duffy, (two of the most infamous characters), and Hugh Rinny, none of whom belonged to the sloop; Daniel Quinn (the mate), and a boy were found on board. When Bloxham and his assistant were going down the companion-ladder, a shot was fired from the cabin, which only scorched the coat of one of the party.- Bloxham then rushed forward, and arrested the individuals above-named, after some opposition on the part of Sherry and Duffy. Great credit is due to Mr. Bloxham, as but for his exertions the multitude would themselves have taken ample vengeance upon those ruffians. Informations have since been sworn against them, and they were on Wednesday committed to jail by Mr. Corry, to take their trials at the ensuing Armagh Assizes. ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN A VARTY OF DRAGOON,' AND THE 11111AN1)MEN. A letter from a most respectable gentleman in May, dated yesterday, informs us, that an account had just reached that town, that a party of dragoons, stationed in Magherafelt, who had been taken out for the purpose of repressing illicit distilla tion, bad been attacked and fired on by a party of Ribandmen, near Stuartstown, county Tyrone. They, of course, returned the fire ; and our Informant adds, that If of the Ribandmen, dragoons, and 3 horses, were killed on the spot, and several seriously wounded'.—( Armagh Volunteer, July 1.) RIDANDMEN's ATTACK AT MAGIIETLA.—The official Re port after due investigation of the late unfortunate affair at Maghera has been made to the Government—by which all the opinions which we have already given respecting the origin of the quarrel are confirmed beyond a doubt. It is, we understand, clearly established by the investigation, that the Riband men- entered the town prepared and resolved to attack the Protestants. Every man carried with him concealed in the sleeve and arm of his coat a short bludgeon, formed of rattan twisted together, anti loaded at the end with a large lump of lead—aii formidable a weapon, and as well adapted for treacherous use, as can be conceived. The tragical issue of the matter has suggested to many of our cotemporaries strong terms—neither conceived in justice nor applied in truth ; but the facts of the case alike condemn their preposterous phrases of " Orange massacre"—" Battle of Maghera," and so forth, as they do the hyperbolical nonsense of some of the orators of the Catholic Association.—( Dublin Correspondent, July 6.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF NINO'S BENCH, JULY 7. LIABILITY OF THAVIES-INN TO PAY POOR.ILATES. ALEX. 'FRAZER V. ALDERMEN WOOD AND WAITIDIAN. Mr. BROUGHAM opened the pleadings by stating, that this' was an action brought against the two defendants for breaking and entering a certain close or dwelling-house in Thieves-inn (laughter)—he meant Thavies-inn. Mr. GURNEY stated the case for the plaintiff. The ques tion in this , case was—" whether the houses in Thavies-inn were subject to the payment of parish-rates ?" the defendants having &sawed and levied on the plaintiff, by taking some sil ver plat*. It would be found that this, which was a retired spot, originally occupied by . students of law, was one of the most ancient inns of court in Londoh, and, as such, extra. parochial. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE asked if the trespass was ad mitted, and was answered in the affirmative. The SoticiTon-GENEnaI., for the defendants, said, he thought some other mode of trying this question might have been devised, than by dragging these two respectable Alder men into this Court, merely because, having been applied to , they, as matter of course, granted their warrant to the parish collector to levy for the rate in question. After a good /deal of verbal and documentary evidence had been gone through, The Loan CHIEF Jo STICE said the sole question was, whether the plaintiff's house was part and parcel ofthis parish, and observed it was common to all extra-parochial places to be surrounded by parishes. There are many places whick are surrounded by one county, and yet considered part and parcel of another. As far as written evidence could go, it never-appeared to have been assessed for poor-rates, although the inhabitants had been compelled to repair the roads. There was not a single instance of rates being paid for this little place ; and to disturb that evidence of these houses being extra-parochial would be a hardship on the inhabitants, who no doubt paid more rent for their houses on account of being free from poor-rates. It appeared by the will of John Thavies, that he left so much to the pariah church of St. Andrew's to pray for the peace of his own soul and the soul of his wife. In no instance had they been called on to pay church rates, and this was in consequence of its having been a place for the residence of apprentices in the law, Barristers being then termed " Law-prentices." It hail always been considered as extra-parochial as the other Inns of Court. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 31. and costs. 4 1 1 1 4 2 KILI.ED LONDON MARKETS.
