THE LONDON JOURNALS. DA I.IX Extracts from the Morning Papers, June 10. [MoaNING CHRONICLE.] We were glad to see that the Silk Manufac— turers' Bill was not subjected to the delay at tendant on an Inquiry, which might have pre vented its passing into a Law this Session. There needed no inquiry, foran inquiry is only neces sary when allegations are made which, if proved, ought to be fatal to .a Bill, and the fasts of the Petitioners were not of that description. The only argument against the Bill was, that other restrictions existed besides those contained in the Spitalfields Act, such as the Combination Law, the law against the Emigration of Artists, &c. ; but this is an argument for removing also these other restrictions, which it is to be hoped will 'be attempted with as little* delay as possible. —We beg Mr. Bright's paCilon -=-he objected to the Bill that it might have the effect of extending the Silk Manufacture in the Metropolis. So thought the people of Sud- bury, and therefore they who are now 'flourish ing at the expellee Spitalfields, very modestly petitioned against the removal of the restrictions. Mr. Creevey brought forward the subject of the 41 per Cent. West India Duties, a grievous hard. ship, on' certain Colonies, in the present de pressed state of the market, and applied in a most disgraceful manner. The public money ought never to be taken for any thing but the public service, and if the House fairly repre sented the People, this principle - would, no doubt, be rigorously observed. Liberality at the expence of the public we protest against.-1 They who have a relish for the pleasures of bene ficence ought, in all fairness, to be at the expence of it themselv es. We certainly do not see why the Planters of Barbedoes, who at this time are probably unable to maintain themselves, should be bound to relieve the Duke of Clarence of the expence of maintaining his own children.—The expellee of the Coronation next came into consi deration, and a very heavy Cxpeuce it turned out to be. This show cost no . lees a sum than 280,0001., nearly equal to' the whole annual ex pence of the various civil establishments of a po pulation nearly as great as that of England—we mean that of the United States. There ,was a time when shows of this kind might not be with out their use; but in our age it would be diffi cult 'to point out any one advantnge to be obtained by the expenditure of so much money. Every thing in a Constitutional Monarchy should have for object the benefit of the people, for which the Sovereignty itself is instituted ; and though the expenditure of 10,0001. or 15,0001. on a ceremony of this kind might be tolerated, it is' a very different matter when we come to quarters of millions. [TIIE Tiro Es.] The news from Madrid is somewhat barren of facts, hut pregnant in speculations. Now that a Regency is appointed in Spain, what are to be its diplomatic relations with other States? The holy Allies, it is presumed, who recalled their Ambassadors from the Court where Ferdinand appeared in person, will have no objection to send fresh ones to a body which professes to go vern in his name and by his authority. Letters may therefore be transmitted to Russia, Austria, and Prussia, requesting the Sovereigns of those States to give countenance and do honour to the Gallic Regency of Spain, by accrediting to it their several Ministers. - One might infer from' , this, that the Regency is expected to be, of no very short duration. A different letter will of course be.composed for the King of France, ex pressive of deep gratitude for the benefits con ferred by him upon Spain. But England, whose Ambassador still accompanies the ambulant. Sove reign, presents a great difficulty—America a greater. The latter country, on account of its dis tance, will not be assailed in the first instance, and England is to be treated with caution. A person is to be sent over with high recommendations, upon the strength of which, having access to Mr. Canning, that Minister is to be sounded. Should lie appear favourable (which, by the way, is im possible), then the Frenchman's diplomatic powers are to be produced, and an arrangement is to be made for the appearance of our Minister at the Court of the Regency. Should Mr. Can ning turn a deaf ear, of course a considerable coolness will spring up between the two Govern ments of France and England. To the minor states, such as Sweden, Denmark, Bavaria, &c., a letter is to be sent from the Duke del 'den ted°, simply informing them that the Regency has been installed, and that Spain being now restored to the community of nations, they may renew their diplomatic relations with her. But,in the mean time, what is this Regency, which It is thus intended to trick out with all the usual concomitants of kingly.magnificence ? All ac counts that we have seen make it a most con temptible body on account of the meanness of, the members, or the constraint under which they are acting. With respect to the Grandees, also, who signed the letter to the Duke of Angouleme, they are none of them who are politically known, except Montijo, the matt who wrote the letter to A bishal. But even be those who appear to have signed what they may, there is a strong suspicion that the names of some of them, particularly those of the women, are the effects of either threats or forgery. The Duchess of Bane- Teufe l for example, • was known to have declared . at few days before the French eetered Madrid, that it obliged to take .a part, it would be against them. But-what have women to thy i n aff a irs of this !dud ? She also has two sons, one of whom, the Prince ntiona, commands the , King's Guards at . Seville, and the other, now on lus travels, is known to be an ardent Constitu tionalist. We believe it, indeed, to be certain as a general truth, that every Spaniard of any rank .4r elmequeoce, who has during later times taken any part in public affairs, fled from Madrid on' the approach of the French. Castanos was the rrson most persecuted by the Cortes and the Ministry, and was litterally reduced to I .,),gary by their depriving him of his command and cfvfl office of Counsellor of State ; yet he scorned to await the arrival of the French, but fled into the country. The defection of Abisbal Was a solitary act ; and did not attach to. either officers or men. He was, indeed, deposed by his own staff, as soon as his letter was made known to them : neither is there, we believe, any ground for the assertion, that he had any communication with Morino or Ballasteros. NEW " When the steed is stolen shot the stable door:" —Certain worthy sages of the Common Council, keeping in mind this ancient adage, have deter mined to apply the loose cash of the City of London to the defence of Spain against a French invasion ! —This measure has so many droll points about it, that we hardly know which will afford the greatest scope for laughter. Certainly the time chosen for this civic generosity is most apt. If the Common Council had voted their money some months ago, it might have been surmised that they were a set of barbarous bloody-minded fellows who wished to promote " battle,‘murder, and sudden death"—whereas it is now clear that they can have nosuch sanguinary intentions; since fighting is manifestly quite out of the question in Spain. Gen. Mina has contrived to avoid the enemy cleverly enough .for some weeks in Cata lonia: General l3allasteros has bravely retreated 400 or 500 miles from Biscay to Grenada : and the heroes of the Cortes, who first ran away from Madrid, have now runaway from Seville'! —The Common Councilmen (we mean Messrs. Wood % Favell, and Co.) have a singular mode of estimating courage. They compliment the gentry who have run away to hide themselves in Cadiz with the title of Brave ! Aliout 70,000 French men have invaded S t pain, and"the Revolutionary 'Governinent f who. we were told not three months ago had WO,OOO men in arms, have suffered them to advance without resistance till they have got to Madrid. Nay, .the French don't seem dis posed to stop there, for:they :have sent on a strong corpsit appears toward Seville. Suppose for one moment these . same 10,000 Frenchme►► had invaded England, end his Majesty's Ministers had abandoned London to them and run' away to York- . .would Mr. Favell have sailed tire Mi nisters brave for so doing • [BRZTISU PaEs9.l All the avenues to.the House of Commons were last night again crowded by the Spitallields' Weavers, interested its the Bill brought in by Mr. Huskisson, for the regulaticm of their trade, now pending before the House. Messrs. Wilde and Adam were heard early in the evening, as Counsel on the part of the Weavers, against the Bill. Both the Learned Gentlemen spoke at considerable length, and very ably, against the measure. After they had withdrawn, Mr. Frederick Buxton, who had previously pre sented a Petition from the Master Silk Manu facturers of London cod Westminster against the Bill, rose and stated at considerable length the grounds of his opposition to it. The bill sought to be repealed (the petitioners, he said, stated) was originally passed on the grounds of political economy, and it was now sought to be repealed on the same grounds. They said, like wise, that a great change in political economy had taken place during the last 60 years, in which time Adam Smith had overthrown the sys. tem of his predecessors,and Mr. Ricardo had de stroyed that of Mr. Smith. The main argument on which he should base his motion was, that the Petitioners had never been heard at all. The repeal of the law would go to de. stray their rights, and injure their interests; but still they had not yet had any opportunity of es tablishing the facts of their case at the Bar of that House. Mr. Buxton concluded by pressing the adjournment of the measure until the next Ses sion, and moving that it be referred in the mean time to a Special Committee. Mr. Huskisson opposed the going into a Committee up stairs ; because, even admitting all the facts, he should rest his objection on the ground of principles.— Mr. Buxton's motion for a Committee was subse quently rejected in a division, by a majority of eight, and the Bill was read a second time.— For our own parts, on the fullest considera tion, we do not think . the present measure one likely to be in any way injurious to the silk trade. No branch of industry can be supported by legislative monopoly ; such a iirinciple is op. posed alike to the freedom of trade and the free dom of principle and action. During the last Session and the present one many of our ancient kiwi regarding trade, commerce, and navigation were repealed and modified ; and the present measure is in a great degree consecutive, and Part of a more liberal and enlightened policy, as flowing from these and connected 4ith the trade and manufactures of this Kingdom. We wish the Committee had been granted, and the fullest inquiry allowed on the subject to the Petitioners. They and every other body who approach that House, decorously and with fair claims, ought ne‘er to be dismissed dissatisfied or discontented from its bar. If a measure affecting them be really beneficial, and that they think otherwise, they ought to have the. fullest opportunity for in vestigation and reflection, otherwise legislation becomes unpopular and loses its best merits. [MORNING Pont.] Some degree of alarm has been expressed by the Hierarchy of Ireland for the permapent wel. fare and security of the Irish Church, as likely to be affected by the Bill now before Parliament for the composition 01 tithe. Of the venerable . body in question, ilthough we do not in the present instance sympathize with its appre 'hensionsi we would wish to speak with the most profound respect. We feel that the dig nified Clergy are acting strictly within their proper sphere—a sphere which their gravity and learning qualify them, and which their peen liar station in the social edifice calls upon them to fill, when they manifest jealousy and dislike of innovation, whether political or religious. We are quite ready also to admit, that on the pre , sent occasion their watchfulness for . the interests of that establishment of which the are the special and appointed guardians, is an im perative duty. The Constitution has wisely guarded all its` great establishments, eccle.l siastic or civil,. by connecting with each of them functionaries invested with the wealth, power, and splendour sufficient—not to controul or overawe the Legislature, but to ensure at all times its attention to their voice, and thus to avert the danger of its being precipitated into any Incautious or fatal enactment. To guard the sacred structure of our national Cburch from any change bearing the character or implying the measure of dilapidation, is the highest and most important duty of the HierarChy, and although we do not see the force of the objections which the prelates of Ireland have urged against the Tithe Bill, of Mr. Goulburn, our ieverence for that distinguished body remains unabated. The most formidable of those objections is, that by the compulsory clause of the Act the Legislature will establish the principle that tithe is a descrip tion of property more fully within the grasp, and subject to the disposition of Parliament, than it has hitherto been considered. It is some what singular that the reply which we shall make to an objection coming from a source so ele vated and so pure, will at the same time serve to repress the exultation which the friends of all innovation, however desperate,. have not endea voured to conceal, on the adoption by the Legis lature of a principle which they affect to recog nize as one of their own. The Bill in question, if it should pass in its present state, will notafford any sanction to the principle, that tithe or• any other description of Ecclesiastical endowment is more subject to the authority of the State than the best secured property of Laymen, It is indeed in all its provisions irreconcileably hostile to such a nrinciple. Those clauses of the 11111 which are intended to facilitate a voluntary adjustment be tween the Incumbent and the Parish, cautiously and studiously ascribe a parity of right, and give an equal voice in the proceedings to the repre sentative of, Ecclesiastical interests as to• the whole body of Lay occupants. PORTUGAL. LISBOW, MAY 17.—in the sitting or the Cortez this day, Senhor Fonseca Rangel gave an account of the depute tion that was sent to the palace of Bemposta to wait on his Ma jesty, anti officially announce the assembly of the Extraordinary Cortes. He read the speech which he had made to his Majesty on the occasion, and the King's answer, in which he repeated his resolution to maintain the constitution, and the liberty and thedignity of the nation at air hazards, and his firm confidence that the just cause would triumph., MAY 19.—The Government has received tor-day various dis. pitches from the military authorities of Tras-os-Montes, 3.linho, and . Beira, giving an account of the reports spread in Tras.os-Montes, by persons who'received letters from the fac tious, who send to that province emissaries with letters, in whkh they'give all kinds of alarming intelligence, such as the approach of Silveira's troops with many thousand French, proclaiming absolute power and the destruction of the consti. tution, &c. . General Pe go writes on the frith from Mirandeila, that the Spaniards bad" abandoned Zamora, which Merino had entered with his guerillas, with which he was proceeding towards Sala. manca ; that the few troops that had left Zamora were gone to Astorga, to join General Morino; and that Silveira was on the 10th at Valderas, near Valladolid, and said to be coming to. wards our frontiers. Generals I'ego and Aparicio, as well as the Governcors of' Minho and Porto, immediately took measures tcr support the march of the troops returning to their quarters. The Government received part of this news on the 17th by the steam-boat, and to guard against any attack by Silveira, as. silted by the guerillas, in the van of the French army, either to the north or to the south of the Douro, sent on the same day, by special messengers, orders to station on the frontiers of Trio'. os-Montes . , anti on the banks of the Coa, all the troops of the three provinces of the north that can be spared, besides those of the south under Generals Peg° and Aparicio. Other measures are likewise ordered. General Pego is to command all the troops in Tras-os nintes, and Marshal Vasconcellos all those in Beira. 31 ay 20.-..8y the last news from Braganza, we find that General Morino was 10 leagues from that city, This must na. turally he an obstacle to any surprise that the factious may intend, - and facilitate the communications with Spain on that side. MAY 22.—1 n the Sitting o f t h e C ones to- d ay t h ere was a very lorig debate on the first article of the letter Convoking the Extraordinary Cortes, respecting the understanding of which there was a difference of opinion. In the Sitting of the 20th, Sr. Abbade do Medroes had said , that the present Cortes ha y . ing es, been convoked for vario us purposes one of which was the the nation, determining on safety and defence ofthe proposals which the Government s h ou ld make to this end, he desired to be Informed whether a D e p uty " ' was permitted to make a mo tion on the subject; to which the President replied, that every Deputy might express his idea on the subject, if he strictly confined himself to the safety and defence of the Country ; and that it was for this purpose the Cortes has appointed a Com mittee with that title. The President, however, afterwards said, that on examining the first article of the Circular . , he found that he had been mistaken. Many Deputies then rising together to speak, it was resolved, that this matter should be diseuised in the next Sitting, before the order of the day. The question was, in fact, whether the art i c l e , con fi ning their de m - bates te.the easures which should be proposed by the Govern ment, did not clash with the article of the ConStitution which gives the Cortes the initiation of the laws. Many Members spoke at great length. M. Moura, who as a Member of the Permanent Deputation had concurred in draw ing up the circular letter, spoke in defence of the terms in which it was conceived, and other Memberewarmly supported him ; among others was M. Freire, who sa id t h a t as the Extraor dinary Cones could only meet for d e t erm ined obleets, which could be fixed-only by the King or the Pe r manent Deputation, it followed that to discuss any other subjects was the same as if the assembly should convoke itself extraordinary, which would be a manifest violation of the Constitution. M. Trigoso proposed that the Extraordinary Cortes may treat of all subjects relative to the public safety, as soon as the permanent deputation has declared the situation of the country to be dangerous. After some further debate it was resolved— lit, that the subject was sufficiently discussed; then, by 55 to 46 • votes, that the re was gr ound t o vote u pon rt., Trigoso's moti on was put an d re j ecte d. and then M. NEW PORTUGUESE LOAN. We translate from a Lisbon Paper the following oflifial ac• count of a New Partuguese Loan : MINISTRY Gt."fIN.\NCE. "The Government, authorised by the decree 'of the Cortes of the Bth of March of the current year, has determined to open a Loan in :the .Public National Treasury' under the followins conditions : " I. The capital to be borrowed shall be 800 millions of refs in debentures, made payable to the bearer none for less than 100 milrees, the halt of which at least shall consist of metal and paper in equal parts, and the rest of cedulat of the General Treasury of the Troops and Commissariat. .‘.‘ 2.

GLAsbow, SUNE b.—Yesterday, pursuant to their sentences at our last Circuit Court of Justiciary, James Wilson, (whose real name was .11fLusky)and John llPDonald were executed in front of the New Jail. It will be in the recol lection of our readers, that Wilson had been thrice whipped in the Courts of the Jail ? by sentences of the Sheriff, and was found guilty of breaking into the luau* of Mr. 141 , Arthur, York -street, and M'Donald, of breaking into the shop of Moses 11osely, jeweller, Candleriggs. McDonald was born in the Calton,Giasgow,and Wilson alias M‘Lusky,. at Lochwinnoch ; his parents were from Ireland. The Hall doors were opened at one o'clock, and persons ad-' mitted without distinction. Several pious Gentlemen, who were with them the previous night, attended them in the Iron room, before appearing in the Hall, and among other parts of Divine instruction, they sung the 40th Scripture Translation, Ist, 2d, 3d, and 4th verses, being that beautiful subject, the Prodigal Son, the words of which were distinctly heard in the Hall, as given out by the precentor. The Magistrates entered the Hall at two o'clock, and the prisoners were instantly ordered up. Dr. Gibb then said—Fellow-citizens, it is an awful and affecting scene which now passes before you, and must make a serious impression on your minds—it should make you seek God, and fly every evil, for, if neglected, it will lead to eternal ruin. You see before you two young men, in the prime' of life, who are to make their exit from this world. In the course of one hour, they must pass from life into eternity. —These two men have brought themselves to an ignominious death. They are now before you, and they deserve your pity and your prayers. They have made a full confession of 'their crimes in the most humble terms. The persons who bore witness against them—the Jury who tried their easel,— and the Judge who condemned them, they f ree ly f org i ve a ll, and wish to die in peace with all mankind. Since their con demnation they acknowledged to have been earnest in seek ing after religious instruction, which has been amply afford ed to them by regular Divines and Gentlemen well known for piety. I think it has not been lost on them, at least from outward appearance. They profess to have fled to Jesus Christ for mercy; and let me remind you, that it is the only refuge, even in the last stage. Let none, however, who hears me, con tinue in the ways of sin, and trust to a few weeks' repentance before their death—that would be mocking Gob to his face.— ' These men have expressed a desire that their case should be a warning to young men to attend to religious duties, to be sober and industrious, and to obey the laws of their country; and wished that this should be publlshed as being their admonition. Believe in Gon and obey his dictates, and pass through this life in such a manner, that, when the morn ing of the resurrec don shall come, you may enjoy a happy eternity. The Doctor then gave out the 51st Plasm, the first seven verses of which were sung by a crowded audience, more so than we ever remember to have seen. The Rev. Mr. Muir offered up a most impressive prayer. Dr. Gibb then read from the 79th Psalm, verses Bth, 9th, and 10th—from the 25th Psalm, Several verses—from the olst Psalm to the 13th verse—from St. Luke, 23d verses 324 to the 44th—and from St. John XIV. verse 20th to the end. lie then gave out the 234 Psalm, 3d and 4th verses,which were sung In a congregational manner. The Hill was then cleared, and the prisoners ascended the drop.with great firmness and composure. The Reverend Mr. Stuart offered up a prayer, surrounded by several of their friends ; and while the necessary preparations were mak ing, they continued in earnest prayer. They sainted each friend on quitting the scaffold. Nilson requested the execu tioner to hands with him, and saluted him at the same time, while 3PDonald desired him to give him plenty of rope, as he was light in body. The signal was then given, and they were lauched into eternity. They both struggled very . hard, especially Wilson. The crowd assembled was very great, and the ground was kept by a troop of the Scots Greys and a detachment of the 734 Foot, who marched 30 miles on Tuesday. Majesty's the r Arrow, i'Yk c from a cruise, on trial of their relative sailing qualities. The Basilisk is an improved L t U te T ie rs li tift l en ß 3 an a U s t i N lis p E kL .

The Arrow, also of 160 tons, is the projection of Capt. Hayes, R.N. resulting from thirty years' professional experience and conviction, on mathematical principles, of being a better model to embrace stability under canv a s, with li t tle ballast, great buoyancy, better stowage, and swifter railing qualities, than any model yet designed by known schools of Naval Architec ture. These fine vessels proceeded to sea on the 28th ult. and, during seven days' trial, the Arrow outsailed the Altai lisk• on every point, thereby proving, incontestibly, that whatever may have been the opposing opinions to the plans of Capt. Hayes, they are of mathematical demonstration and truth, We must, therefore, congratulate him, and indeed the country, on the success of this essay of a system, which, we understand, meets a point hitherto considered impracticrt ble, viz.—building a thousand, vessels, ifrequiretl i from a given section, without the variation of a needle's point, reducible from a first-rate to a cutter, each embracing excelling powers and advantages of every description, in their respective cl ass . To a arrive at the construction ofody best calculated to displace the water, and give the greatest propelling power, by re-action of the fluid, is to arrive at the great secret in the science of ship building. MOST SINGULAR CAM—When the Eddystone Light-house was destroyed by fire, a quantity of the melted lead rushed in a torrent from the roof on the bead of one of the men Who was looking up to set the success of the water thrown up. It fell not only on his head but also on his face and shoulders ; a part of it' made its way through his shirt collar, and very mach burnt his neck and shoulders. From this moment the poor man had a violent internal sensation, and imagined that a quantity of this lead had passed clown his throat and - got into his body : this man's name was Henry Hall, and though 94 years ora g a, he was of a good constitution. and remarkably active. He had invariably told the surgeon who attended him (Mr. Spry,•not•Dr. Spry; of Plymouth,) that if he would do any thing effectual to his recovery, he must rzlieve his stomach from the Lead which he was sure was within him ; and this he told, not only to Dr. Spry, but to Those about him, though in a very hoarse voice. The reality- of the assertion, seemed, holever„ then incredible to Dr. Spry, who could hardly suppose It pos. sible that any human being could exist after having received melted lead into the stomach, much less chat hi should be able to bear rowing through the sea from the rock and also the fatigue and inconvenience, from the length of time he was getting on shore, before any remedies could be ap plied. The man did not show any symptoms, however, of being either much worse or better, till the sixth day after the accident, when he was thought to be mending: He constantly took his medicines, and swallowed many things, both liquid and solid, till the 10th and 11th days, after which he sudden. ly grew Worse ; and the 12th day, being seized with cold sweats and spasms, he soon after expired. On opening the stomach, Dr. Spry found therein a solid piece of lead of a flat oval form, which weighed seven ounces and five drachms. 'SPADE lIUSBANDRY.-•-in the neighbourhood of Hamilton, an experiment was made last year, to try the differ ence between the spade and the plough. A field was taken, which was in beans last year, and oats the year before; two ridges were dug, and two ploughed, alternately, and the whole was sown on the same day ; a part of the ploughed and the 'dug being 'drilled with the garden hoe. The whole was reaped the same day ; and being thrashed out, the result was, that the dug, sown broad cast, was to the ploughed. cast, 52 to 42. The dug and drilled was as 201 to 121, upon the ploughed and drilled. The additional grain is not the only beneficial - result gained by digging, as in this instance there was also a great Ideal mate straw. The land is free of weeds, and will be more easily &flowed this year. PnixTiNG.—On the 10th of July there Is to be a grand fete at Haarlem in honour of Laurent Coster, to whom the inhabitants of that place attribute the invention of Bprinting. It is well known that Haarlem, Mayence, and Strati.. ourg disputelhe honour of that invention. At Haarlem are preserved the first typographical attempts. They are plates engraved on wood; and the book which is printed with those plates is called c Der spiegel van onze The mirror. of our safety.' This book is shut up in a silver coffer, the keeping of which is entrusted to teveral Magistrates, each of whom has a different key to the place who're it is deposited. A10133.—8y a recent Act (3 Geo. TY. c:24,) it is enacted that in all cases of damage, committed by a mob, where the amount shall not exceed 301, the party aggrieved, instead of resorting to his action against the hundred, may ap.: ply to the Magistrates assembled in Petty , Sessions, who are: thereby authorised to award damages, and order payment of the same out of the county rates. A case recently occurred at Hull (we believe the first instance in which the Act has been brought into operation), - and in which the Magistrates in Petty - Sessions awarded 291. ils. with costs, to be paid for damage done to some premises by a mob collected at a bulLbait. RimnAtat JAM.---An excellent jam may be made with a mixture of two-thirds aired currants to one-third of garden rhubarb.' Good jam. may also be made with two.. thirds of red rough gooseberries, not quite ripe, and one-third of rhubarb ; and raspberries succeed as well as currants. The flavoured i 4 best, if not overdone with sugar ; and, -if ate lam is made with gooseberries, it will be spoiled shenld they b4rig on the trees until fully ripe.
