TII E LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, August 20. --••- .: [MORNING POST.] Po ench Papers which arrived last night, admit at length openly that the Bayonne Tele graphic communication was unfounded, and that they had " too favourably interpreted the autho rization which the King and the Royal Family of Spain had obtained, to quit their residence occa sionallyond to drive through the streets of Cadiz." "If could not be believed at Madrid," says the .Quotidienne, 44 that without some powerful motive, the Corte would have relaxed the excessive rigour which the Royal , Family had originally experi enced ; and it had been supposed that the most viplent members of the, ReVolutionary party had been compelled to give way to circumstances. It is however, unfortunately, 'nit too certain, that King ii'ertlinand, though treated with greater respect, is still at the mercy of Rebels." This is the first time that the French Ministerial and Ultra Jour. pals have condescended to notice, and in some measure to apolegize for, •the falsehood of the intelligence which. .they had communicated. It is not the first time, however, that there has been occasion for such an apology. Many are the instances in which both Telegraphic Dispatches and regular Bulletins have contained gross un•• truths, which the next official Report unskil fully exposed ; but never till now had a sense of shame prevailed so far as to produce something like an attempt at excuse. The symptom may perhaps be deemed favourable ; it is certainly ex traordinary ; and if it displayed itself in the con duct of the Government as well as lit the publica tion of intelligence,some hope might hp entertained that, the sacred claims of justice would no longer be disregarded, and the independence of an un offending. people violated and threatened with annihilation. These Papers make no allusion whatever to the excesses and murders said to have been committed in the Spanish capita.' by the Royalists, on hieing falsely informed that the King had been:restored to com'pkte freedom.-- The specimen which they. give, hpwever, of the conduct of the people and the surrounding pea santry at'Saregossa, is calculated to confirm to its fullest extent the intelligence of the sanguinary scenes at Madrid. • 44 On the 20th ult." says ,the Quotidierine (a Paper which can only he credited when it states that which makes against its po litical opinions) 44 numerous parties occupied the principal points of the town. At about eleven o'clock nearly 8000 peasants penetrated into. Sa ragossa, went to the houses of , the richest indivi duals suspected of being 'ConstitutionalistS,..toOk . them and shut them up in'the Church of the In quisition. In less than two hours, that Church contained . upwards of 1,500 individuals. SoOn after a Deputathut front the insurgent popula tion repaired to the Spanish General, 3oachimn Fereyra, „tisk leave to plunder the houses of the persons who had thus been arrested. This General, indignant at such a proposal, painted in such odious colours the violence about to be perpetrated ; he spoke with so much elo quence and persuasion, and was so well seconded by the. officers of the French Garrison, that the intended pillage did not take place, but it was impossible to obtain the liberty of the in carcerated individuals. In consequence of, this, and in order to avoid the horrors of some scene of blood, (for it is stated that the people were de. termined to sacrifice the prisoners if the troops bad made the least movement , to set . them ,freeo: General.Fereyra and the Colonel of the Freud, division dispatched a courier to the,Regency to inform' it of the unfOrttinate events whiehf . were passing at Saragossa. 'The return of that courier was expected with - great impatience." [TII E TIMES.] The Paris Papers of Sunday, which,arrived last night i contai o nothing new on the subject of Catiiz and are in other respects quite barren of ligence. Even the Quolidienne admits the tele graphic announcement of the counter-revolution at Cadiz to be founded in mistake. We wish it could be safely inferred from the eagerness of the French Ministers to publish this intelligence on such eqUivocal authority, that they h ave no more reasonable ground for expecting that the event they announced will be realized. The ac - , counts which the Ultra Papers give of the state of Cadiz are too extravagant to deserve credit.-- According to them, the Ministers, the Corks, the troops, every human being in the Isle of Leon and ,Cadiz, wishes to surrender. The Quolidienne says, that not only has the mo derate party been long since disposed to treat, but' that Riego has proposed, if his past conduct be forgiven, to bring the King over, to Puertcr de Santa Maria. If all this be true, what keeps the French out of Cadiz ?--The Journal deS D6bats of Sunday contains the law of the.lst:of July last, promulgated at Berlin, for the 'organization of p r ovinciatjassemblies for the provinces of Brandenburg!' and Lower Lusatia, lvhich furnishes a specimen of the extent to which mighty Potentates feel bound by the obligation of a solemn ,promiso to their subjects. Th e Ki ng of Prussia stood pledged, since 1814, that a consti tution should be created for Poland more cott formable to 44 the spirit of the age" than those institutions, .which indeed were only royal or ' dens, by which they had been formerly governed ; ' and now, in 1823, after nine years, out comes the long promised constitution. As the machine is cumbersome, and the description complicated, ‘‘e may state shortly, that the whole Prussian Monarchy is to be carved out and parted off into provinces, each of which is to haie its distinct representative ; .but especial care is taken to promise, that these little par liaments, or separate corporations, are to have no sort of intercourse with each other.— Prisoners chained down in separate dungeons might as well think of combining their force against the gaoler, as the representative bodies or Prussia, When' thus constituted, against their Executive -Government. But the system will not answer its design : its nakedness of - , all real securities of freedom Will fill the reflecting Ger mans not merely with disappointment, but indict nation, for it is an attempt to 4upe as well as drive them. The States cotrqiosing the Prus sian Monarchy are singafarly devoid of a com mon spirit : the several provinces are congre gated, but they have never been united.— The founder, therefOre l of a system of legislation for Prussia ought to regard as tire first principle of his task the drawing together the dispersed voices and interests of the people into a common centre, and enuring them to that frequent inter course of reasoning by a discussion of general rights and obligations, which would •teach them that every measure adopted by a part of the commonwealth for its own welfare would be felt through every other.. , This plan now promulgat ed is a plan to,alicnate, instead of to consolidate, the several provinces ; and to weaken, instead of strengthening, the whole Prussian State. NEW TIMES.] Consols closed yesterday it 82/i. The fo reign funds in general remained at the prices of the day preceding ; but Spanish Bonds reached 38k, which was an improvement on their former quotation. We know not on what political grounds it is calculated that these securities can sustain their present value. Nobody, we pre sume, is so insane as to believe that the Revo lutionary Faction can ever pay either princi pal or interest. It is very probable that the re stored Government may recognize the debt either with or without modification ; but the abi lity to satisfy these engagements fully may per haps be wanting. It well becomes persons who are inclined to venture their money on loans to any party in Spain,- to reflect on the total dilapi dation which' the finances of that country have underzone. No nation in Europe has seen its resources so lathentably exhausted by war, civil dissension, the total loss of trade, and the disor ganization of society : and for our own part, if the were to recognize the Bonds to-morrow, we should think 38/ a price more than equal to their value. A foolish story was 'yesterday circulated of a defeat of the French in Catalonia so long ago as the 27th of July : other actions, also favourable to the Revolutionists, were said to have occurred on the 29th and 30th; but we need hardly say the whole was a complete fabrication. It rested merely on the report of i Master of a trading vessel from the coast of Cata lonia to Genoa, and was forwarded by the Agent to Lloyd's at the latter place. The official re. ports from. the French Army come up to a later date, and completely negative these statements. —The liberal Journals lotolly complain of the enthusiasm shown by the people of Madrid on hearing - the - - rumour that King Ferdinand was releaSed. -- They say that the " fren zied populace" proceeded to ill-treat and even to kill some of the most notorious Revolutionists. We have no doubt but that this. is a great exaggeration. Yet sing•wlar as the' remark may appear, we have uniformly obserVed, that every exaggeration which tells against the Royalists, at borne or abroad, is eagerly caught up and believed, while the most disgraceful indifference is shewn to the ferocious and met. Mess massacres of the • Revolutionists. We have thought it a duty that we owe to humanity to reprobate the latter, not only as odious and horrible in themselves, but as nurturing sen timents of vengeance in the adverse party. Mi na disgraced himself and his cause by the savage murder of his prisoners in cold blood, and by the burning of whole towns to gratify his fe rocity ; and it is hardly possible to believe that 1 these barbarities have not provoked some reta liation from his opponents ; just as we are told ' by Sir Robert Wilson that the Turks justified the cruelfieslhey exercised on the French by referring. to the atrocious and horrible massacre of Jaffa. ' . ----- _ [MORNING liEltA GIL] News arrived yesterday in the city from Spain, which,' under other circumstances, would have been most interesting and gratifying to the Eng lish public. A vessel, which sailed from the coast of Catalonia on the 2d, and reached Genoa on the 7th instant, brought intelligence of Iwo battles in that province. On the 27th July the three Spanish Generals, Milans, Llobera, and Manse, with their united divisions, attacked the French near Manresa, and, after two days' hard fighting, took from the enemy 3,000 prisoners.— The French had a proportionate number of kill ed and wounded. The engagement must have been an obstinately contested one. There can be no doubt that the advantage was entirely on the side of the Spaniards, as it appears they burned Manresa, which was a strong position, occupied by the French, and from which they must have retreated. The second battle was fought, or rather begun, on the 29th. On that day Mina himself and General Rotten, the Go vernor of Barcelona, sallied from that city with their whole force, and attacked the French on the 30th, at Mataro, where we believe Moncey was in` person. The fighting had not yet ceased on the 2d-instant, and the vessel sailed on that day without knowing the result. As she sailed, fire was visible, it is stated, along the coast, and on the taps of the mountains. The melancholy glory which may crown the Spanish anus in Catalonia at this moment, is, we fear, matter rather of regret than rejoicing to the friends of Spanish freedom, who are also the friends of humanity. The vindication of a just and noble cause, and the prospect of great permanent blessings to a nation, should alone reconcile the mind to the sacrifice of human life in war. It is not likely that any successes in Catalonia can materially retard or influence the catastrophe which seems so rapidly approaching before Cadiz.— Nor is it probable that Mina would hold out after a pacification had taken place in the other provinces—not from any impossibility of maintaining himself in Catalonia or Navarre against any French force that could be brought to bear upon him, but because lie could scarcely hope for ultimate success. It is true, however, ' that Cadiz and the Cortes had not yst surren dered. The Bayonne dispatch, conveyed• by te legraph, and published in the Monitcur of Thurs day, was certainly incorrect. It is also worth notice, that we have no accounts in the French Papers of the adhesion of Zayas to rf DallaSterOS or of the submission of any of the fortresses within the 'command of this renegade General. —He included in his convention with the French and all the troops within his command, and the garrisons in the , places of strength. None appear as yet to have answered his appeal. Had it been otherwise — or had there been even a prospect of their fol lowing the example of Ballasteros, the French would no doubt have proclaimed it with avidity in the Monileur. lt appears, by accounts from Madrid, that the rabble of the Faith, and the Monks in that city, upon hearing (pre maturely) of the release of Ferdinand at Ca diz, manifested their joy in a manner very cha racteristic of their instincts and their cause--by house-breaking, pillage, and massacre. They loosened their fury upon all the mare respectable inhabitants, who' were suspected of a want of af fection for despotism and the Inquisition, with out the least reprimand or check from the Re gency, or the Municipal Authorities of the Faith, until they were lashed back into their kennels by the French troops left in garrison there. [MORNING CURONICLE.) The French Papers of Sunday contain the Edict of the King of Prussia on the organization of Provincial States from the Mark of Branden burgh and the Margraviate of Lower Lusatia, of which an abstract has already been given by us. We learn from this document that the States in question are to be a deliberative Assembly, and that Berlin is fixed on as the theatre of their activity, but what they are to deliberate on when they arrive at Berlin is not very clearly stated. We learn only that " they treat the objects in common," and that " for a valid resolution on the objects which we have proposed for their deliberation, or tuft to their decision under the reserve of our sanction, or, in short, which must come in some other way to our knowledge, a majority of two thirds will be requisite," from. which we are to infer that the selection of the subjects en which they nre to exercise their deliberative faculties is to rest entirely with his Majesty. We learn, however, also, that the proceedings of the Assembly are to be printed, so that some day or other a due measure of light will nodoubt bethrown on its functions. With respect to its composi tion great credit we think is due to his Majesty. The problem to be solved was the creation of an elective legislative body in the hands of which pure Monarchy might be perfectly safe. Two dangers were more especially to be gUarded against, a Legislature like that in a certain country, independent of the people, but ca pable of dictating its own' terms to the Crown, or one like that of another country, the pure emanation of the popular %%rill. In the course of the eight years which have elapsed since his famous promise, his Prussian Majesty has not been au inattentive observer of th e working; of the Constitutions, whic h SOME! of his Broth er Sovereign, who had less pat ience than himself, set agoing; and he has arrived a t the conclusion, th a t the only mode of obtaining a perfect against the two evils above alluded to, is to take the election altogether into his own hands.— Ali the Elections are under the surveillance of the Provincial. Counsellor of the circle in which they take place. lie directs the choice of the Electors of Arrondissement, and of the Deputies to the Assembly, either immediately or by a deputy to he named by him." &c. Another great cohstitution-maker of our day, Sir Thomas Maitland, lilt upon it happy expedient for secur ing a proper descliption of representatives, which is no other than to limit the electors in their choice to the persons in the list furnished by himself. 'The consequence has been, that while all other Legislatures, even the best disposed, have bad their moments of ill-humour, the utmost harmony prevailed, from first to last, between Sir Thomas and his Parliament, from which he never had even a bia s i i i ng s l i e n juensktyilulwsivliorit)tt; (dually dare to say his Prus sian successful in his experiment, and that his deliberative Assembly, should it attain a happy old age, will never be disturbed by any portion of the demagogical spirit. His Majesty, as in duty bound, is to pay his deliberative Assembly ; but if he pays them, he has shewn that he means also to make them work. "No Member is to be absent from the Assembly without good reasons, and without in forming the Marshal.""'Three-fourths of the total number of Deputies at least, are necessary to all valid resolutions." How far adequate pay would secure a good attendance in a certain As sembly in this island, We know not, but if three fourths of the Members were necessary to every vote, without pay, things would go on, we fear, rather tardily. However, as they give us their services for nothing, we must be thankful, we suppose, for what wC get. rnuss.] The last Paris Papers bring nothing new from Spain. The Etoile stptes the last accounts 're ceived from Cadiz to reach to the 6th. With its usual anxiety for the Bourbon lineage, it mentions Ferdinand's health, and that of the Royal Family, to be. good ; but says, that affairs were not as far advanced as was at first believed. At Madrid (gifis lemperet a 10. cismis, - when the melancholy tale is told) all the marks of public rejoicing, hall been taken down; anti suddenly disappeared, the news of Ferdinand's enlargement being Unhappily premature. Madrid and Saragossa both have been the scenes of dreadful commotions, during the night of the 10th of J uly. The fanatics and rabble of M a d r id paraded the streets with horrid yells and exclamations. They were armed with clubs and other weapons, and attacked all those wretches chose to brand as enemies and Liberals. When. the night had advanced, the cry for plunder was heard amongit the mob, and the word pa s s e d t o a tt a ck and pillage the !souses of the Con s tit ut i ona li s ts. The Work of robbery in stantly - commenced, to which its authors were di rected by the surrounding illumination, and from plunder theie demons proceeded, as a conse quence, to massacre. •Eighteen to twenty indivi duals, it is calculated, fell victims to the fury Of these monsters, before their rage could - be checked. Like savage Indians they danced •and exulted round the writhing members of the vie tins they had murdered. These are the partl- 4 sans of the imrnactilate Regency—the supporters of till principles Angouleme and his sqnadrons cameinto Spain to propagate! Unhappy Saragossa, it appears, has been outraged by excesses of the same dreadful sort ; on the Roth July, about eleven in the morning, more than 8,000 , pea sants rushed into Saragossa, and, after dividing into bodies, took possession of the different streets, attacked the houses of the richest and most respectable individuals, suspected by them of being Constitutionalists, arrested them on the spot, and hurried them to the church of the In quisition ; in less than two hours 1,500 indivi duals were crowded together in this church. Soon after a deputation of the abominable insurgents presented themselves before the Spanish' General, Joachim Ferreyra, demanding authority from him to plunder the houses of the individuals ar rested. The Spanish Commandant appears to have acted with equal principle, humanity, and determination, and to have reprobated in the strongest terms the propositions of this banditti ; but to save the residences of the victims from their cupidity and fury, he was obliged to con cert measures at once with the Commander of the French garrison ; ' and, through their mu tual intervention, the horrid pillage was pre vented, but they could not succeed in liberating the arrested Spaniards. To prevent a general mas sacre, which it is asserted the populace and pea santry were decided on if the troops made the least effort to set them at liberty, Ferreyra, the Spanish General, and the French Command ant, dispatched an extraordinary courier to Madrid, apprising the Regency of the appalling circumstances, and their orders-were looked for at Saragossa with the deepest impatience and anxiety. Thtis have the French, by their in trigues and second invasion of Spain, roused a hellish spirit of inveteracy now desolating the whole kingdom, and hostile even to themselves, which theyare utterly unable to subdue. In Madrid the Manolos are masters ; in Saragossa an infu riated peasantry have committed the excesses we have shortly detailed ; from Corttova, its fanatics have been calling for the re-establishment of the fell Inquisition. With Angouleme's arrival, like Death on the Pale Horse of the Revelations,all the agents of destruction and horror have followed in his dark train. When he would divorce himself from them they will no longer separate; he may, of necessity, negociate with the Cortes, but how is Spain subsequently to be tranquillized ? Is she to remain lhe sanguinary theatre of civil pro scription and war, and a Servile war to rage through her proviuces ? Dreadful and irreparable injuries have been dealt that unhappy country by the French Cabinet; but fur them both Spain and Portugal would have preserved their liber ties in quiet, and been now perfectly undisturbed and tranquil. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. (Front the Elver Flying Post, Aug. 13.) As far as the stories of our gasconading twig • bourn are entitled to belief, we are suddenly to expeet—not onlY - the destruction 'of the Constitutional system in Spain . , but the delivery of Ferdinand to the French Generalin. SIITIO. With this,the campaign it is pretended will be at an end; and the good work accomplished. It may be so : but we happen (nod so most men do) . to differ from this opinion ; treachery, it is true, has, in two or three instances, disgraced the leaders , of Spain, but un conditional surrender in a state of prosperous, or, more properly 'speaking, successful war, is another matter. Nations once engaged in hostilities (especially defensive. and in a right cause) are not wont so tamely to surrender their rights : we have ample proof of this, not only in ancient but in modern history,-:-and to' suppose Spain to differ from the rest of nations, is to deny her that place in the map of Europe, which, by for mer NMO and extended conquests, she is so justly entitled to.—What purpose may be answered by the publication of assertions like these, without proof, we will leave our readers to judge;' in the 'meantime, it cannot fail to strike every man, that the order of the Duke d'Angouleme, declaring the military possessions of the kingdom,, is not likely to con ciliate its inhabitants. The Spaniards are a proud and haughty people. They think themselves the greatest nation in Christen dom, and , arc, if not more jealous of - their soil, at least as much so as any other nation around us, and, as the French have now parcelled out the provinces after the Roman fashion, amongst their Generals, it is not, in the least, unreasonable to calculate upon a The unanimity than has previously distinguished them. The Bands of the Faith" have dwindled to nothing, end the Madrid " Regency" are at daggers drawn . with the French.—Such is the posture of affairs in Spain, and who calculates upon peace, calculates, to our Clinking, erroneously. The Government may decide as it pleases —it may make peace, and restore Ferdinand to absolute power, (which we do not fur a moment believe it will) but the inveterate hatred which exists between Spaniards and French men is so great that the former will never lay down their arms until they are either fairly vanquished or themselves have destroyed their invaders.—To calculate upon the probable duration at the struggle were vain and futile . '" but if we are to judge of it by the entical situation of the French in Andalusia, and their unsuccessful efforts in Galicia and Catalonia, it is by no means out of the way of impossibility, that, unless greatly reinforced, they may speedily find themselves under the necessity of re. tracing their steps. The " Lammas flood" occurred on Thursday, and the Clyde was larger than it has been seen at this season for seven years. Between six and seven o'clock at night it was within P. 2 inches of the grating of a common sewer in the Bridgegate. Quantities of hay and pieces of wood were float ing down the stream. During the day business was suspended at the Broomielaw ; the mater was over the quay, into the cellars, and the oldest residenters in that quarter do not recollect of seeing the Clyde larger at this season. The rains have been equally heavy in every direction. Early in the day the Cart and the Kelvin overflowed their banks, and washed up several fields of potatoes, a►id injured several fields of oats. A farmer, whose ground lies on the side of the Kelvin, has had 15 acres constantly under water during the last fortnight. The Clyde was still very much swollen this morning. --(Glasgow Courier). SHOCKING ACCIDENT,---On - Monday afternoon, 1 , a poor milkwoman; carrying two heavy pails of milk, was crossing from the cheesemonger's to the pastry cook's at the top of Great Queen-street and Drury-lane, when two hackney-coaches drove in opposite directions, one out of Queen-street, and the other from Long-acre into Queen-street ; in attempting to avoid one, the pole of the other struck her in the breast and knocked her:down, when the coach and horses passed over her ; her arms and ribs were broken, and her head and body dreadfully cut and bruised. She was taken up speechless amid insensible, covered with blood, and carried on a shutter to Bartholomew's Hos pital, with faint expectation of recovery. The coachman was detained a coniderable time, but on his name and number being taken, he was permitted to depart. SUPPRESSION OF' mum , The following letter from Commodore PETER,' commanding the United States squadron, fitted out for the suppression of piracy, appears in the r• Aatronal Intelligencer of the 14th ult.:-- "Sea Gull, June 11, 1823. " Although I have no news of any consequence to give you, I could find much to say if I could find time to say it in ; but my movements rather keep a-head of my pen. I keep every one very busy ;and although the service has been severe, and some are very sick of it, I have good reasons for believing that all who leave my command will do it with a desire to return to it whenever their services may be wanted. ' The fact is, that the 4iMPPearance of all the pirates, and our want of success in catching the 'rascals, is somewhat discouraging to us ; but all are satisfied that our failure was owing to other causes than a want of exertion on our part. The fact is, our enemy is an in visible one; he his onlj to throw: on the fairy mantle of a. Spanish passport, which they all go furnished with, and the pirate is completely concealed from our view. • - " Piracy is now down on this side of the Island, and I hope soon to give as good an account of the other side. A pirate has, however, appeared.there, and made two captures lately; but, the most of the pack, the Greyhound, the Terrier, Ferret, Wean', Fox, and two barges, are in full pursuit ; if he escapes, he must have good luck. " There has not been a single act of piracy committed here since I came on the coast, and the above is the only one I can. I hear of on the south side, which we have left pretty much to the' British. " The importance of this station (Key West) appears daily more and more manifest to me, and, in my opinion, it is but of little consequence who possesses Cuba, if we - keep a force here ; for we have the complete command of the Gulf of Mexico, all. the commerce of which, as well as that from Jamaica and Cuba, is completely at our mercy. It is almost incredible, the number of vessels that daily pass and repass, and it is wonderful, considering the strong temptation, that piracy existed in -no greater degree than it did. " Those to New Orleans past very near this island, and wl have almost daily intercourse with them. I had no conception myself of the extent of our trade in this quarter, until I came here; and I am fully persuade& that this is the proper place from whence to give it protection. The government has made a small experiment, sufficient to prove the utility of an esta blishment here, and the country would act unwisely to abandon it. The place ought to be well fortified, of which it is very sus ceptible, and a respectable force, chiefly naval,, should always be kept stationed 'here. There would then be nothing to be apprehended from pirates or any other aggressors on our com merce or flag. " It is to this- sea what Gibraltar is t 6 the-Mediterranean ; and the one-thousandth part of the money that has been ex pended on the one, would make the other all that could be desired. " I do not know exactly when I shall visit home ; but hope to do in about two months. I shall send the small vessels home at regular periods, to return to the station immediately. This I do in . order to give the officers an opportunity of ob.. taining relief. One will leave here on the 16th, and on the 2d and 16th of every month h erea ft er I s h a ll dispatch one of: them." MB. CURWOOD AND THE OXFORD CIRCUIT.---' Notwithstanding the rational arguments which Mr. CunwooD, the Barrister, has urged in favour of his right to change his Circuit from the Home to the Oxford Circuit, and although no positive rule can be adduced to render that. right question able, the Gentlemen with whom he has attempted to associate himself have thought proper, ,one and all, " to send him ta. Coventry," and during the whide of the last Circuit they re fused (except whenprofessionallybbliged) to hold the slightest intercourse with him. On one occasion only did Mr. CVII - dine with the Judges, and this by the especial written invitation of Mr. Baron Hu Lt.ocx, who most honourably re fuSed to countenance the resolution of the Bar. Even on that occasion, the other Barristers who ; were at the same table reli giously observed their resolution not to speak to the obnoxious ,guest, who, in consequence, engrossed almost the sole attention of the Worthy Baron whose name we have already mentioned. The reason assigned by Mr. et7RWO`OD for Changin& his Cir cuit, is the fact of his having obtained an estate in \% orcester shire tfroughthe medium of his wife. What renders the op position the more extraordinary is, that Mr. CAsipiEr.t who is now one of the Seniors of the Oxford Circuit, himself af lordett a precedent 'for Mr. Cu um o OD'S determination, having com menced his career as a Junior Barrister on the Home Circuit. It Words us pleasure to remark, that the illiberality with which Mr. Cu ItWOOD has been treated seems but to have increased the zeal of his friends in his behalf,. and the business he has attained has fully equalled his most sanguine expectations.— ( Morning Chronicle. ) Su UDEN DEATIL-Yesterday morning Mr. Tnostrsolf, a young gentleman, a pupil of Mr, 1.1nooKI:s.1 of Blenheim-street, after attending a lecture at the Anatomical Theatre, went to a room adjoining, and a noise being heard by some of the family of Mr. Banox E s, they went to the spot, and found Mr. Tuciursox on the ground in the agonies of death. Bleeding was resorted to, but without effect. His death was oc casioned by the rupture of a blood-vessel on the brain. The young gentleman is related to a highly respectable, family in Yorkshire. _ A frog was caught in the East Croft, Notting-, ham, on Tuesday, having five legs. The fifth leg grew from the middle of the throat or breast. Puotusx.—Mr. JActsoN is said 'to have given up all connection with the prize ring. From his gentlemanly manners, and polite demeanour., the absence of Mr. JACKSON will be an irrepa rable loss to the milling tribe. COURSE OF EXCHANGE, August 19.
