TIIW-LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from, the Morning Papers, November• 21'• N'OrtNl N ifilltAT.D.l in the early part of yesterday the Foreign Market was heavy it is evident that there is a ,pany who wish to keep down the price of the -..Bonds of the defunct Constitutional Government of,Spain, and for this purpose all sorts of preju ,slicial reports are circulated in various shapes, it was roundly asserted that private letters had ~been received in London, stating positively that the King of Spain never would ratify the Loans of the Cortes ; we do not believe the assertion, but its the present precarious state of things, such reports have their effect on the market, and the Spanish Bonds. of Nei. went down to-day to 26i thry,however,subsequently revived, and reached MI.:, but again declined, and closed at 9.61. The Bonds of 1822 closed at 10. The premium on the French Scrip has again advanced ; to-day the Scrip bore a premium of 1i; Portuguese Scrip has also once more reached par. All the northern continental Securities were on the rise ; the old land new Bonds of Prussia, and also the Bonds of 'Russia, have all undergone au improvement ; whilst Danish. Bonds and Banco Marks main toined very high quotations steadily, the Bonds being as high as OM and the Banco Marks 88,f. The South American Securities were also on the rise, although but little was doing in them at the time. The Bonds of Colombia have improved more than a half per cent. and those of Chili war one per cent. [MORNING - CURONICES.I We learn by letters from Paris, received yes , tertlay, of a high political character, that the Counsellors of King Ferdinand have, at length, bit upon a plan which as they flatter themselveS will restore order in the financial concerns of Spain, and re-establish the fallen credit of that distracted country. As soon as the King arrives at Madrid, and forms his new Ministry, he in tends, we understand, to nominate M. Ouvrard to the Finance department, in order to give more eclat , to his nomination ; and to nationalize the enterprising Frenchman a little ; the same letters add, that one of. his daughters is 'to be married to a natural son of the Duke del Infantado, a match which is considered, no doubt, a great honour. M. Ouvrard is known to be a great speculator, and he has had a good deal of expe rience in money matters in Spain ; hut how he will find funds, either on the credit of his new master, or among the wretched inhabitants of the dess'itite Spanish provinces, is a secret which no one possesses but himself. The demands on King Ferdinand's Government at the present moment are enormous ; the expellees of the Army of the Faith are 'unpaid ; and we understand that the amount of she secret service money, expended in all the late machinations, amounts to a large suns. A new army is also to he organized, so that M. Ouirard wilt have plenty of work on his bands. We know not whether the French capitalists will hereafter be more eondescending ; but we trust that. those on the London. Exchange will keep their resolution, and continue to show their detestation of all Stock enumating. from the Go vernment of Ferdinand the Absolute. [TILE TIMEL] Our readers will perceive the change in the proceedings at Hertford. We have received several letters on the subject of the Rev. Mr. Lloyd and his interference —one from a person certainly of the first consideration. The hurtle" of them all is, that Mr. Llyod is a very sincere, warm, tint tint a very wise man. However, the proper province of men to whom the last descrip tion a pplies is, that they should take advice, not that they should becom e rulers. The Act of Parliament expressly states " that due provision " shall be made for the admission of pertibus " with whom prisoners committed fr trial may " wish to communicate." Mr. Lloyd o , in the place of this Statute, invents the rule that John Thurteil should not have any legal advisers admitted to him save one, and that such one being once ad mitted, the accused should have no other ! A wan may err undoubtedly from inadvertence ; such, au one may be said to err negatively; but a man who substitutes his own rule, and that rule not on the side of clemency, but rigour, acts posi tively both against the law of the land, and that of humanity. And be it 'remarked, that this Re verend Gentleman who has done this, not only substituted his own rule as a theory or le propo sition, but went and enforced its execution him self, though in the face of the law. Is it suffi. tient excuse for such an one to say that he is 4 ' not a very wise man ?" As to the other Jos. tices, who are said to have signed away their duty of visiting the prison, we think we may chal lenge the whole land, from one end to the other, and assert, without fear of contradiction, that there never was any occasion in which so many, men, holding his Majesty's commission, did so grievously mistake their duty. If the leader was not a wise man, what were the led ? [NEW TIMES.] The report that the Committee of the Foreign Stock Exchange had determined to exclude the Loan of M. Guelbaud from the quotations of price in the list ordinarily published, appears to have; originated with the Old Time:, and is no doubt as, new to the Committee as to the whole Foreigo Market. ft is understood that the Committee came to the determination that they could not restrain the dealing in this Loan by any Member who thought proper to d o sp ; an d that the list of prices published by Mr. Wetenhall being for his individual benefit, the Committee have not the power of direct ing what quotations shall be given and what shall not:, at present there has not been any thing dOLle. it, and therefore there can he no quotation to Make. For our own part we repeat that we do not wish our countrymen to embark in Foy Spapish Loan. —Some very large par ehases wire Made yesterday in the British rands, amongst which was one for the Court of Chancery to the extent of 65,000/.; and two eminent speculators purchased in the latter part of the day between 1 and 200,000/.Consols. Not withitanding these immense amounts the prices continued steady, and at the close of business were 831 An Express arrived at a late hour in the afternoon with accounts from Paris of Tuesday, on which day the Rentes closed nearly the same as on Monday, viz, 89.25. 30.; Spanish Bonds 27H. The Papers are barren of any intelli. Bence. --Spanish Bonds in our market have, in common with the other Foreign Funds, been nearly stationary—they closed yesterday at 261. [MOILNING rm.] The Writer in the Eiening Paper to which we alluded on Wednesday, hi our article respecting Mr. Justice Bayley's recent Charge, has replied to that article; but as he has not touched any one of the authorities we adduced in support of our opinion, or offered any thing but a reasser tion of his own, we shall certainly not gratify Mn by continuing the discussion. The case be tween us is shortly this :—We defended the Judge's Charge ; and asserted the legal right of the Judges to forbid the publication of proceedings in their Courts. This Gentleman de nied the legal right ; and gave his denial in the most confident terms. We then proved the right, as much as any Common Law right can be proved, by reference to ancient custom and prac tice. He now does not atterript to controvert any of the authorities we adduced; but he attempts to get rid of them by saying that " the practice of the Courts does not prove what ought to be the practice ;" and he calls the Judges who have acted in opposition to his opinion 44 a few arro gant men." This writer ought to know, that Trial by Jury, th e punishment of many of the graver offences in our criminal code, and many of our Constitutional rights, have their best and only authority in practice and ancient custom ; and that it is this practice and ancient custom to which reference is, and always has been, made in answer to the fanciful improvements which are suggested by the half-learned. As for the charge of " arrogance" which he brings against Lord Hardwicke and the rest of our Judges who have exercised the right in question, we do not think it necessary to answer it, and shall leave this Gentleman himself to the enjoyment of his own diffidence ; only observing that the best of our Judges have always been prepared for as persion by the illiberal, as well as by the guilty whom it is their duty to punish. lic is perfectly welcome to asperse them ; but, before he again ventures to accuse them of acting contrary to Law, he will do well to give a little attention to , the Law himself. A very moderate knowledge of it may convince him that even his own native wisdom will not suffer by an acquaintance with the legal knowledge of such men as Lord Hardwicke, though he should still think that that knowledge was unfortunately accompanied by " arrogance." teerrein eitess.l The system now pursuing in Spain, and the I late atrocious u r that. has stained its capital, is likely soon to recoil on the tyrant and his partisans. Letters from Gibraltar to the 3d of this month state that every thing in that country bespeaks a gathering storm. The whole middle class of society look on themselves as proscribed, and consider a recourse to arms as the sole defence of their lives and property.-- universtahorror was excited by Riego's murder; the respectable classes were every where putting on deep mourning, and those of the poorer order, who could not afford that testimony of respect to the murdered Patriot, got strips of black cloth, and bound them round their arms. Where such feelings as these exist, the tyrant will not sleep in peace. The dark cloud is fast col lecting that will burst in thunder on him, and, like the Jewish Monarch, he will yet need his chariot and horses to escape from the violence of the tempest. Sir Robert. Wilson has arrived in town, and though of course, still suffering much from past fatigue, illness, and anxiety, the health of this gallant officer, we are happy to say, is improved. If what we have heard be true, the occupation of Spain by the French troops is not likely to be merely temporary ; nor do they dissemble their intentions : the French Officers in Cadiz publicly declare that France wilt retain possession, of that city and its de fences so long as Gibraltar remains in our hands. This is only a part of the golden proipect that awaits our wretched apathy during the late contest.' The prosperous future, every day dis closing itself, is still to come.---Castaing has been found guilty in Paris by a majority of his Jury, seven to five, of poisoning Aug'ustus Ballet, and making away nith the will of the deceased. The Jury acquitted him of the death of nypollite Ballet. The wretched pri soner, in broken sentences ? protested his inno cence, and talked of meeting In another world his murdered friends. He added, in a faint voice, 46 My'death is wished for, and you have it." While the Court deliberated on his fate, Castaing turned to his Advocate with the look and gestures of a man that was deranged, " Roussel," said he, " come near me ; I am in nocent; embrace me for my father, mother, bro thers, and my child." Then turning to the audi tory, he called on them to he present at his exe cution. His firmness, he said, would not desert him, and a speedy death was the only favour he sought ; mercy, he added, he would disdain to look for. Castaing was subsequently con derailed to be executed, and also further con demned in a hundred thousand francs damages and interest to the 'party injured. He was then more calm, and heard his final doom in silenca. The Journal des Minds states positively, what was mentioned before, that Slivery had written to the King, protesting his innocence of the murder of the Duke d'Enghien, and requesting a trial In the Chamber of Peers. The King, it is added, positively refused his request, on the principle of a salutary oblivion of the past, grounded on .the Charter. Talleyrand seems to have triumphed completely on this occasion : on Sunday he presented him,vif et Court, and the King addressed him markedly, assuring him thlit both he and his friends might appear there with- out fearing any reflections. Thus it appears,i the star of Talleyrand, for the present, has tri umphed. The French Papers are destitute of every thing like political information, they are wholly taken up with Castaing's trial and con viction. A it S O N. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF DRAYTON FARM. PORTSMOVTII, NOY. 3.9.—Last night, about half-past nine, a most destructive fire was dile covered et Drayton Farm, near Cosham, abou. five miles from hence, the property of W. PADI WICK, jilt]. Esq. Expresses were immediately dispatched to the neighbouring towns for engines and assistance, which was promptly afforded by the respective public departments of this gar rison and the inhabitants. The first engine that reached the farm was from Tipper ; then followed the Portsmouth town engine, en.: gines from the Royal Engineer Department, Royal Marines, &c.; but ere this assistance could arrive the fire had assumed so alarming a feature, that all attention was directed to two or three stacks that had not yet taken fire : these were ultimately obliged to be taken to pieces, and the sheaves carried by hand to the neighbouring fields. To accomplish this object, Officers of both services, private soldiers, and citizens, were seen vying who , should render most aid. The fire now had assumed a most awful and terrific aspect ; four large ricks were raging in the yard ; cow-houses, brick stabling, out-houses, &c. had been completely destroyed, and the devastation of the .whole farm, saving the ricks above men tioned and the farm house, was inevitable. — Every exertion was uow made to save this little remnant of a valuable property ; this was not accomplished till near six o'clock, after incredible exertions during the whole night.— The property destroyed falls little short of four thousand pounds, scarce two thousand pounds of which is insured. The greatest praise is cer tainly due to those who conducted,. and to those who bore the arduous fatigue of dragging the engines for about five miles, and. we' could not but feel gratified (though under the greatest alarm as to the extent of the fire) to hear the continued cheering of the different services, in alternately overtaking and passing each other's engines on the road, going at double quick time nearly the whOleof the way. At . the fire we particularly noticed the daring intrepidity of Captains Smith and Kelson of the Engineers, and Captain Thomas of the Navy ;.these Gentler men, with many other officers and citizens, were actively employed in directing and using the engines and fire-hooks, amidst the great and tottering masses of solid fire, which at every step surrounded them. We sin cerely lament the loss the proprietor, must have sustained, but we feel assured he must have felt some alleviation at the prompt assist ance rendered him from all parts of the country _distance seerped to be of little consequence, all were eager to arrive with their aid. We must not omit to mention the early arrival of a detachment of armed troops from Tipner, who formed a guard to protect the secured property, nor the facility with which the sheaves were removed from the ,stacks by the provident arrival of the Royal Engineer fire-waggon, with hooks, ladders, &c. The Engineers used these implements with the most deter mined coolness ; indeed, great praise, is due to all. Ono of the destroyed ricks contained QOO quarters.—We have now the additional painful task of recordings that the above fire was 'caused by an incendiary. The particulars that we have learnt are, that the Bailiff of the farm had ob jected to a pauper, of the name of James God win, sleeping in one of the out-houses ; de siring him to go to the poor-house at Widley, a short distance, where he had apartments with others of his family., A pauper in an adjoining room heard him' come to.the ; house a few hours before dark, and; in a conversation with his mother, say, " that he would be dumn'd if he would not set fire to• the farm, either on that night or the next ;" he than heard him ask for a tinder-box, and distinctly heard the striking of the steel, as if for, the purpose of trying it. At dark he was seen near the farm with a light, partially concealed under .his jacket ; added 'to this, it was ascertained that he did not return to the poor-house till nearly six o'clock the next morning : under these circumstances he was im mediately apprehended, and brought down ,to Mr. G. A. Callaway's office, the' Clerk to the County Magistrates, and underwent an examina tion before E. B. Arnaud, Esq. one of the County Magistrates, when headmitted that he went to the cow-house and lighted a stick which he had in his hand, with a view of frightening the bailiff, but that some sparks falling on, the litter it caught fire, and being much alarmed, he ran away, stud hid himself i* a neighbouring field. A number of depositions were taken, when he was, remanded to Gosport Bridewell till Saturday next, when he will undergo another exam'- nation.--Since the above, we learn that a younger brother of God win hasbeen apprehended. Godwin is rather a silly looking fellow, about 30 years of age. He has suffered imprisonment in Winchester Jail for robbing the poor-house in which he was maintained. Mr. Padwick's per sonal dwelling-house was nearly a mile front the 'arm. ANECDOTE OS CAPTAIN PAttrtY.---Mrs. TOT!. nYcE was particularly intimate with the late Dr. PAttuY and his family, and used to relate, with conscious delight, an anecdote of the present enterpri.,ing navigator, Captain PA nn Y. When a child, he had accompanied some of fhe females of his family in a morning visit ; and to amuse him i she or dered a servant to take him to, a, ror t king-liorse w hich she instead i happ en edof to a I,e have. idn g .

INSTALLATION OF DR. CIIALMERS, IN THE UNIVERSITY 01? ST. ANDREW'S. [From the Edinburgh Star.] On Thursday forenoon Dr. CuALmints ac - companied by James Ewing, James Dennistoun, Charles Parker, and Robert Dalgleish, Esqs., from Glasgow, arrived at Kirkcaldy, where they spent the afternoon, and on Friday, morning proceeded to St. Andrew's, accompanied by Provost Fergus, and arrived at the Black Bull Inn precisely at twelve, o'clock, when they were immediately waited upon by the Prirk cipal of the University. • .At one o'clock the party proceeded to the robing-room of the .College, where the professors were assembled, and soon there after the Very Reverend the Principal and Professors went in solemn procession, preceded by their maters, to the University Hall, where Dr. Chalmers's induction was to take place. The Doctor, we observed, was among the last in the procession, but as soon as he carne within the view of the numerous group of students who were assembled in the yard, the longing eyes of the multitude were eagerly fixed upon him with feelings of deep interest, and every expression of deference and respect was instantly manifested. The Very Reverend. Principal having taken the Chair, the Professors arranged themselves on his right and left, while Dr. Chaliners stood in the centre: After the usual forms observed at the induction of Professors which were a prayer, address, and reading of the laws, all in Latin, the presentation of a book, and the administering of the oath clef:deli, the Reverend Doc tor was declared legally and solemnly installed into the Moral Philosophy Chair of St. Andrew's. The Doctor seemed to be much affected during the whole of the ceremonies ; and we could not but particularly observe, that when the Janitor was in the net of putting on his gown, his countenance assumed an expression of intense seriousness and deep concern. After the business of the day hail been closed, and the bene diction pronounced, 'Dr. Chalmers was cordially congratulated on his accession to his important office by his friends and the Professors, who then retired in the same order as they had en tered ; and it was remarked, that when Dr. Chalmers made his appearance, all, with one simultaneous feeling, stood uncovered, out of respect to their eminent Professor. INTRODUCTORY LF.CTURE. Agreeably to the wish of Dr. Chalmers, this lecture was de livered on Saturday, though it had been previously advertised for Monday. :The shortness of the notice of the alteration, how. ever, did not prevent a concourse of persons from assembling long befbre the hour of lecture. The Parliament-hall, in St. Mary's College, was the place fixed for the delivery of the lecture ; and as soon as the doors were open, which was not ,until eleven o'clock, Dr. Chalmers, accompanied by Principal Nicol and the other Professors, came over from St. Salvador.— These Gentlemen, with much difficulty, pressed their way through the crowd, and then followed an instantaneous rush into the hall. In two minutes it was crowded to excess, and as soon as silence was restored, Dr. Chalmers commenced his lecture somewhat to the following effect : " 'Were it a course of lectures on the philosophy of, matter that I was required to deliver from this chair, I could ex. pect, at the end of the session, to have given but a mere out line of this science, and that the whole would prove but a feeble and insipid digest, and as heartless and uninteresting as the categories of our schoolinen. The numerous and varied topics which this science embraces could not possibly be brought within the limits of one Professorship. ,He might indeed grasp at them, but it were altogether Impracticable that he would be able .to plod his way successfully through theme "Ale would just ken them as minutely, and comprehend them as clearly, as on a station of the moon he could discern the di. versified objects which teem on the surface of the globe, andthe as svarniefcsietsedsa necessary as ali en eary subdivision the ordinary o e r m din be a l r li y eli s e ir d It is a.of. trade, U S t for it would be too unwieldy for one agent to embrace the whole ; and he should be glad to find that the philosophy of matter .Would speedily be broken down, anti . parcelled into separate Professorships. Ile understood that in Paris—that great mart for the luxuries of literature and the refinements of life—there were no less than ten separate courses for Natural Philosophy, six for chymistry, and .sixteen in the medical department. Were that the case in this country . ; and were each never to cast one regard beyond the territory of his own profession,. but continue to travel his way into all the elements of his separate occupation, and bring down his thniights to bear Upon it, it would be found that all the enees verged to one great and harmonious result—that there was a unity and hearing to that . mighty throng by which they were suspended, as the elements of "chymistry graduallY passed into the elements of its natural philosophy. No one, how evei high his attainments, should be allowed to stalk in proud philosophy, to make inroads upon others, and by this heterogeneous mixture,of topics, .to envelope it hi labyrinths of metaphysical obscurity, out,of which it cannot speedily be ex tricated, and which have no other tendency than to perplex the mind, and to place greater barriers in the way of a free and full development .of truth.' Philosophy: ought not, 'as it has too often been made to minister to the pride of our understanding, instead of. ministering to our piety. Newton, the most sublime, and the greatest of OUT champions, who had investigated the laws ' of nature up to nature's God, and who, after having made discoveries which were far beyond the ken or the intellect of others, to execute, declared, in the genuine spirit of true modesty, that after all he knew nothingyafidthat whathe did know ; tended more to raise: his admiration of the great Architect of nature, and to inspire his mind with devout feelings of the harmony and beatitude that appeared in his works. 'rho suggestion of the term ' 4 - morel" has led to the significant denomination of Moral Philosophy.. but it is now wily a counterpart of that, philosophy which has taken cog nizance of, and made violent usurpation of ethical science. ' The strict and appropriate hniiness of our class is the philosophy of morals. To the days of Hutcheson and Smith, it was confined Within the lithits of its primary elements ; but since the days •Of Hume, its barriers have been broken down, and there have been diffused over it the science of metaphysics, which has been eltogether foreign. to its object; and it would assuredly, ere this time, have altogether languished and expired, were it not' for the zealous and vigorous supporters it found in the well-cultivated minds of a Reid and a Beattie, who, by the ex tent of their acquirements ' and the force of their reasonings, soon rebuked into silence all the petulance of the philosophic infidel ; and it would not certainly have again returned into its tlegratled state, had .it not been, reserved for a Brown and a • Stewart to cancel it from our Universities. On every topic that, Volition is concerned in, it is duty, and the will and the under. standing have - a reciprocal action on each other—right volition must be preceded by, right views. Wordi and integrity of heart, as Dr. Campbell observes, sharpen. our discernment, and, as Allison properly remarki in his Essay on Taste, that lovelineas might be resolved into.a moral feeling,: anti that virtue is_ the object of a tasteful as well as of a morel contemplation, which enable us to prObe an instructive wav through 'the ment -arcane 'of our moray nature. : Moral philosophy is not mental. ' Its legitimate province:belongs to what man morally is, and of What Man ought morally to he. , It is the philesophy of duty. —lt treads on the pre - anent - of theolOgy. It stands; indeed, at 'a distance from it, butit leads from' a given point to the t<lople' of sacredness. Its direct object is the.moral using of out moral nature. .As. a Professor or Natural History, who restricts hint. self to the science of Conehology, in the scholarship of shell*,. so Must the moral philosopher treat of man in his best estate ; and will this .be called an uninteresting study, which relates to the temporal Happiness of our species —which elevates man above - the lower creation—assimilates him in moral ex tetatwwhhien:lhheiecinsiej ecie n ti c tr li e tiwtiewh . aln t iitc h fh,ie e nal: i tfge n vietgli g ecenea s i of a higher order, and which would even turn they degenerate o rdeeat i taenr, de e mbb m p opeei into:rc ynec o cix r yi o a c ii r anau y t, osat te,paradise?dirt of 3cing onfined course vi o rht m eepa e oisn , i Ifue i ocd n pr e ci i t purity of mic Philosophy, of which they are so much enamoured, and to which they had probably been Icing accustomed..

The Doctor then commenced a high eulogium on the merits of his predecessor, and very feelingly and eloquently adverted to the circumstances connected with his present charge ; and the happiness he would enjoy from being once more embowerea in the scenes of his youth, and to the benefits which he es : pected to derive from being within the immediate whichsph those associations, hich were formed in early life, an d he trusted he should long continue to enjoy in his manhood. During the course of the Doctor's lecture, he was frequently interrupted with bursts of applause, which he endeavoured I? vain to suppress, arid at' the conclusion the plaudits were coati. nued for several minutes. The Professors and many of the gentlemen present cora , tulatcd Dr. Chalmers on the success of his first academics) ; and they shortly' afterwards retired to the take of an entertainment that was given them by the part,Y that had accompanied Dr. Chalmers from , Glasgow to Andrew's. i nn to par.
