THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extractsirenz the Morning :Papers, April 8. [MORNING CWRONICLE.I The Addresses nf the Chamber of Peers and Deputies, in answer to the Speech from the _Throne, are what might have been expected.— The French Army, which marched through Spain without opposition, has, of course, covered itself with glory. " Never r did a triumph do more honour to humanity," say the Pe'ers. "The Revolution pursned and conquered in its last asylum ; a captive king replaced on his throne ; a generous nation restored to religion, their Prince, and their laws," are the burden of the Song of Praise of the Deputies. Alas, poor Spain ! yes, the Revolution seems indeed con quered, and along with it every vestige of sin cerity. The hollow hypocrisy of the old Re gime, the annals of which make the heart sick, has again taken root, seemingly iu a congenial soil.—The speech of M. de Villele proposes the financial measure, which will operate a reduction of from twenty-eight to thirty millions of francs in the amount of interest of the national debt. Many of his arguments are addressed to the le gality of the measure, for no one, he says, doubts the possibility of its being executed. M. de Villele anticipates the most favourable results from this reduction with respect to agriculture, industry, and commerce." If you wish (he says) to vivify these three supports of our prosperity, direct capitals towards them, and cause them to be obtained at the lowest possible interest." We are not astonished at the high credit of France which has enabled the Minister to carry this im portant financial measure, when we consider the small amount of the debt as compared with the resources of the country. If peace continues it will soon be cleared off; and every thing at pre sent in Europe indicates a continuance of Peace. If France, England, and Austria, are agreed, the affairs of the East can hardly interrupt the ge neral tranquillity. equally flattering so his Majesty's Ministers and gratifying to the Public. The amount of Re venue under the head of " Customs " may be taken as the best criterion of our iscrasing re sources, inasmuch as during a steady period of peace, the general trade and various in terests of the nation must be flourishing in pro portion to its exports and imports. Excluding, therefore, all the other items of the public in come, and recollecting that, whatever reduction, no addition of duties has for some years taken place, we should be bound to conclude from the Customs' receipts alone that the Empire never was in such a state of solid welfare as at pre sent. Our task now is not endeavouring to shew an equality .of revenue for a considerable past period, but the still higher and more pleasant duty of depicting a successive increase each cor responding quarter over the amount of the pre vious ones for a series of years. If we next turn to the several other heads of the internal Reve nue, of which, together with the " Customs," the total income of the country is made up, we shall find them to bear out the inference suggested by the state of our imports and exports solely. The receipts from the Excise, Stamps, Post Office, ecc. indicate the greatest prosperity, the most active industry, and a growing consumption of all the articles of life, whether necessaries or luxuries. I n short, were there occasion to raise the hopes of the Public—to sustain the confidence of the people in their rulers—or rouse the country to the assertion of its rights—the statement of the Revenue which we have published would justify the most exulting eommems. It so happens, however, that every individual feels in himself such incontrovertible proofs of our flourishing situation that it is useless to enforce or enlarge on them. But what shall be thought of those who choose a moment when the satisfaction of the public is unquestionable, to vent their vulgar spleen at the grant of 150,0001. towards the re pairs of Windsor Castle ? A more disgusting, and at the same time puerile tissue of sordid excep tions to this vote, than appeared in a Paper of Tuesday, has never met our eye. But such cavils are now unavailing--discontent is not contagious at present—and we are convinced the feeble, qua lified opposition to the grant which the utmost fervour of party spirit could produce on Monday night in the louse of Commons will not meet the faintest response throughout the united King dom. Assuredly if ever Monarch deserved the gratitude of his subjects, it is due to our Gra cious Sovereign George IV.; and to seek to thwart his Majesty's wishes in rendering the only structure in the Empire resembling a Royal Palace a suitable abode for the King of the freest and happiest people on earth, is at once unworthy and ungenerous. But we only mention the circumstance to note its folly as well as its weakness—for we have hopes that instead of objecting to the amplest and most splendid reparation of Windsor Castle, Parlia ment will, ere long, also see the propriety of commencing a new and magnificent' Palace near the metropolis, for the town residence of the Head of this mighty Empire. [MORNING HERALD.] [THE T! 31 ES.] _ _ _ The Etoile of - Monday, received yesterday, contains matter of considerable importance.— First, the projeft of the law for reducing the in terest of the public debt ; and next, the Ad dresses of the two Chambers in answer to the opening speech.--The interest of the public debt is to be reduced nominally to 3 per cent. ..but with such advantages to the holder in the first acquisition of the new stock, that the interest upon his capital Kill amount to 4 per cent.—that is, the creditor may either accept of repayment, or he may receive 3 per cent. hereafter, upon a new stock placed to his account 75 for every 100. The Government, of course, will derive from this measure, not immediately, but (at the latest) from the Ist of January, 1826, a diminution of 1-sth of the interest payable on the whole public debt. But when we find that the debt so to be reduced, only amounts to 197,014,802 of rentes, we say, happy France in this respect, and perverse legislators in England, who struggle every way against honest retrenchment. The exposition of the Minister of the Interior con tains a general proposition, which, obvious as it may seem when offered to the human understand ing, never appeared to occur at the period when loans were making. That proposition is, that the interest of a public debt may at any time be reduced to the rate at which the improved credit of the State shall enable it to borrow money afresh. A Ministry may he. perplexed by the magnitude and complexity of a financial operation ; hut if, in a precarious state of affairs, we had contract ed a debt, paying ten per cent. at present, and we could now raise money at one per cent., to this latter rate of interest could we forthwith reduce the debt. The motion of Mr. G. Lamb, for allowing full efence by Counsel to persons under trial: for elony, has been lost in the House of Commons. The question, however, has been decided. The division was against the motion, but not only ar gument, but learned or legal authority, were de cidedly in its favotir. The Attorney-General's authority cannot properly enter into the scale, because, virtille officii, he is a-sort of sentinel in the porch, and the natural enemy of all inno vation. After the speeches of the Honourable Mover, of Sir James Mackintosh, of Doctor Lushington, and of Mr. Denman—the learn --amaa.,----- ing, the logic, and the experience which [NEW TimEs.] they brought to bear upon the matter, there Nothing surely can be more weak and frivo cannot remain a particle of doubt, at least, lows than the remarks of the Radical Journals on upon the mind of the " unlearned" public—not the Quarterly Financial Statement.

So our spec k upon the disk of the public reason. To Condition is really improving, is it ? And yet those who read the speech which immediately we find in the next sentence that " these docu- followed that of the mover, we should suggest the meats rather tend to show the extremely oppres- following process to try its validity. In Cases of sive nature of the taxes!" It will be for the treason and misdemeanor Counsel a re all owe d boobies to explain what they mean by extreme to address the Jury in defence after evidence oppression •and an improving condition. They heard. Now let all the arguments against this have not the sense to write two sentences motion be applied to cases of treason, -and (we in immediate succession. without a gross and will select) libel, and let the issu e be - staked palpabl e contradiction.—They proceed—" Not upon the question. whether the arguments against withstanding the remission of taxes year Mr. Lamb do not apply still more forcibly to after year, th e renew ed di m inution of the libel and treason—whether they d o no t str ik e old Taxes still produces a falling off ire the directly in the face of experience, from the Revenue." Now what can be meant by this passing of the 7th Of William to this hour, and nonsense? . Do they mean that th e Taxes which whether they do not conclude th e _Learned Gen are remitted do not now contribute to the sup tleman who used them, in consistency to bring port of the Revenue ?

[BRITISH PRESS.] Mr. Lamb's motion, on Tuesday night, to allow the assistance of Counsel to persons tried for felony, ought not to hare failed : its object was even-handed justice ; and its success would have remedied one of the most oppressive evils in the criminal code of the country. Mr. Lamb spoke convincingly and ably on the subject : the intro duction of the motion was equally honourable to his head and to his heart ; he supported his argu ments, not by the idle and flimsy declamation with which he was opposed, but by the best re ferences to facts and history —by inferences drawn from the past e xperience of other days, when the agitated and sacrificed accused, standing at the bar of a Court, in peril of his life, felt the weight of judi jcieag l authority,e prejudices of a Prero gative collect e d array o f G overnment dthe the h C e ou caosuelldprseuinssimngonattOonbee up against the load, but upon him, with nothing but his own broken strength, and, perhaps, feeble innocence, when his existence hung upon a despair ing effort. We trust the day never will come, when, as Mr. Lamb said.a prisoner's safety may depend on the advocacy of such J u d ges as a J e ffries, a Page, or an Ayscough : b u t w hat has been may be : Judges are but men, subject to all the fail ings and the passions that influence authority in other situations ; and the Bench, though now pure, may at some future day be us arbitrary and tyrannical as in the c'ays of Scroggs and Jeffries, in the worst times of the Tudors and the Stuarts. A well-meaning and an independent Jury would be, in such a case, the best safeguard of the subject : but we know also that Juries, even in cases of life arid death, cannot divest them selves of the prejudices and passions of men ; that the very accusation 'if a foul crime, unsupported by proof, carries with it a stain, that even the longest life of irreproachable character cannot afterwards wholly !vast] out ; that with such a Jury, selected from plain and well-meaning men, taken from the middle ranks of every-day life, unaccustomed to exaggeration, and liable to be influenced by the artful- and apparently candid statements of experienced Counsel, appear ing for the Crown and against the accused, the shrinking and unprotected criminal at the bar, stands the fearful issue under the deepest and most hopeless disadvantages.— The advocates employed against him often af fect moderation, as the most deadly weapon they can use ; they d well on his situation and his crime with pretended commiseration, in a way that effects more with a Jury than the most stu died invective could hope to produce. Ars est celare (trim. The practised pleader in this way does more with a Jury than by the most vehe ment harangues, and the unhappy prisoner too often sinks before it, without the power of refutation, or of the assistance of an Ad.- vocate to expose the deadly sophistry which has sunk into the minds of his J ury , with out the possibility of any antidote being ap plied. Mr. Lamb in the course of his speech, made a striking appeal to the case of Lord Lova t's trial for high treason in the reign of George [I. and who suffered on the block with uncommon firmness. The unfortunate old chieftain, borne down by Crown illfillefiCp, declared he could make no defence for himself; his guilt, it is true, amid all the- art by which h e sought to disguise it, was but too clear; but his utterly defenceless situation was so apparent, that Sir William Younge, who led the impeachment for the Commons against him, inmediately after brought in a Bill to allow persons accused of treason to be defended by Counsel. Those so charged have now the benefit of that statute, and are also entitled to a list of the witnesses and the Jury summoned on their trial. Why should a differ ence be made between felony and treason ? The convict in either case is equally attainted in property and blood. The following extract of a private letter, dated Rome, March 20, contains some further particu larsmelancholy d ea th o f Mi ss BA Tii TILe body o f Mi ss B a th urs t, , nrd r y e A ft s y p s T e l t — e r n i‘ the g s niece, bus not yet been found. — The c au s e o f this lamentable accif.lent, which has deprived our gay circles of one of its most accomplished and brilliant orna ments, was us follows :---The road on the banks of the Tiber, beyond the Pente Mole, was so narrow and bad, that the party, who were on horseback, were obliged to return. Lord Aylmer took hold of Miss l3athurst's bridle to assist her in turning round : but at that moment the horse backed and fell into the river with the unfortu- nate young lady. Besides Lord Aylmer, a young Englishman and a servant of the French Ambassador, leaped into the water. Divers, boats, and every kind of succour, were im mediately employed, but it was too late.— En this place the Tiber is winding and its wafers rapid. This young lady, who is -a niece of Lord Bathurst, was seventeen years of age, and was the charm of all her friends by her beauty and cultivated mind. A fatality seems to be attached to this family. Mr. Bathurst, her father, who was" an Ambassador to the Court of Prussia some years ago, sud denly disappeared whilst traversing a forest on his way to Hamburgh, without his body being ever found, or any certain information ob tained relative to his death.

The promise of a Buck for the occasion, to be turned out at the Devil's Dyke, occasioned a numerous assem blage of " horse and foot" in that vicinity. As early as ten o'clock in the morning, horses, donkies, and mules, of all condi tions and sizes, and every species of vehicle, from the dust and market cart to the well appointed sociable and barouche, were, eventually, huddled together, though occupying several miles of turfy ground. Pedestrian sportsmen were beyond all count ; and the varied tints of a partially fog-obscured No vember rainbow, are sterile in diversity to the multiplied hues in costume which the field presented. The sportsman's scarlet and the ragman's tatters, with all the novelty that low life and trade in holiday could furnish, were there ; the sun-beams playing on all with equal fervency, and equally warming, to a temper of gladness, the well-mounted Peer and dismounted. post-boy. The heterogenous turns -out which have some times given a joyous character to the neighbourhood of Epping, may furnish an idea, perhaps, of the general scene presented—but not of the effect which disappointment produced, when, instead of a Buck, a pigmy half-starved Doe was ushered into notice, in which the instinct of seeking safety by flight h a d l os t it s action, and which refused to accept of lite on the proffered terms. A bag-fox, and a brace of purposely bagged hares, were the derrner resources, but these, as good luck would have it, after every thing in the shape of luck appeared as lost, gave rise to such a fund of entertainment, that neither the Buck nor the Doe were thought of with regret afterwards. The fox, after a capital burst of eight miles, by plunging into the water near Shoreham Bridge, was re-taken alive. The hares also ran well, one fell a victim to the dogs, and the other escaped. 'Many accidents occurred to " man and horse," but they were ill of a ludicrous stamp, and but served to increase the uncon troulable merriments of the ,day. About forty sportsmen and their friends, after tile " toils of the chase," met and dined together, at the Hanover Arms Inn, and where the true social spirit of British conviviality held dominion to a late hour. In the the course of the entertainment, a proposition was made, involving the future prosperity of the Hunt, that of opening a Subscription for voluntary contributions in the town, from the inhabitant Householders, &c. that proportionate part of the annual expences of the pack might be defrayed thereby. The proposition was generally approved —and, as the interests of this place are confessedly improved, by the inducements which the said pack holds forth for the amateurs of field sports to take lengthened sojourns with us, it is confidently expected that the additional support sought, will turn out more than sufficient for every needed purpose. SHOOTING.

He travelled the first 22 miles to Ingatestone in three hours, and reached Witham, on the Ipswich road, 37 miles, at half-past seven o'clock, and break fasted off a fowl. He completed half the distance, to and fro, over three miles of measured ground, towards Colchester, in eleven hours. He reached Ingatestone, on his return, at a quarter before eight o'clock, the worse for his journey : He started with five hours to do 23 miles in, and by astonishing perseverance, he reached the end of his journey five minutes within the given time. The task is a great one; but the road is the best out of London, The following article is extracted from a Frankfort Paper of the 26th ult.:—" A Jewish merchant, who has been settled in England, but who belongs by marriage to the Jewish community here, was arrested here a few days ago,, at the instance of several English houses. During his residence in England he had found means to obtain great credit, especially among the Manufacturers, whose goods he fowarded to the Con tinent, in the capacity of factor, till he at last absconded, leaving debts to the amount of between three and four hundred thou sand florins. His British creditors have sent emissaries after him, who have traced him to this city, and, as we hear, now demand that he shall be personally delivered up. There is, however, the more reason to doubt whether this demand will be acceded to, as it appears still uncertain whether the debtor has really employed swindling means to obtain credit, and be cause, even in this case, the English are not entitled to appeal to the right of reciprocity, since it is well k nown th a t th ey pay no regard to a requisition from a foreign State respecting a cri minal of this description, who takes refuge in their islands. ' OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE STREETS.—Yesterday at the Mansion House the LORD MAroncomplained strongly of the obstructions caused in the streets by the drivers of carts and coaches, and ordered the officers to bring before him all persons so offending within the City. A Society has been formed in Edinburgh to aid deserving persons in their endeavours to emigrate andsettle in New South %Vales and Van.Dieman's Laud. Captain PAitTRIDGE, of the Military School, at Norwich, Vermont, has offered to support and educate at his own expence the Greek boy who arrived in this country last year, and whose pa rents and six brothers were murdered by the Turks at Scio. The lad is now in Baltimore, but will come on to this city as soon as the means are raised. --(American Paper.) DISGRACEFUL TRA NSACTION. An Inquest was on Tuesday evening held at the Blue Lion, gray's Inn-lane, before 11. STIRLING, Esq., the Coroner for that district, on the bodies of four influtts (names unknown), who were found in a dreadfully mutilated state on Sunday last in the field leading from Gray's Inn-lane towards Bagnigge Wells. From the subjoined evidence it will appear that the probability was, that the bodies had been em ployed either by some private student of anatomy, or at one or other of the anatomical schools, and afterwards deposited in the waste land where they were found. After the Jury had been sworn in, the following evidence was tendered. John Robinson, a lad, living in Britannia-row, Bagnigge wells, deposed, that on S a t ur d ay n i g h t l ast, in crossing the fi el d s towards his own home, he observed two women with a light looking down on something. Attracted by curiosity he advanced towards the spot, and inquired of them whether they had lost any thing, when he was told they had discovered the body of an infant, which they pointed out to witness, who immediately called the watchman, and the body was placed for the night in the cellar of a newly built house in the immediate neighbour hood. It was that of a male infant apparently two years old; the head was missing, and the bowels had been taken out, the flesh had been removed from the greater part of the body, so as to lay the arteries and veins bare, some of which were stopped with sealing-wax. John Smith, a bricklayer, deposed, that on Sunday morning, having heard of the body being found, and of its being headless, he was induced to visit the spot in the expectation of finding the head. In the course of his search he found in a hollow nearly behind the Welsh School the mutilated remains of three other bodies. They were carelessly covered over with straw, and were all of them headless. Their ages appeared t o b e f rom one to three years. One of them was the body of a female child, another that of a male, and the other was so mutilated, and et , little of it remaining, that it was impossible to determine its sex: --The arm of one was missing, and the bowels were removed from all, and the flesh of different parts of each of them re. , moved, as if for anatomical purposes, the arteries of many parts being thereby exposed. Information was immediately sent 50 the workhouse of St. Pancras, whence a shell was dispatched, and the body removed to the workhouse. One of the Jurors inquired whether the two females who pointed out the body first found were in attendance. He was informed that they had not come forward, and that it was im possible to summon them, as their names and address were both unknown. The CORONER observed that it did not appear that their evidence was needed. M WoNNzLL, a surgeon residing in Gray's Inn-lane, stated, that he had examined the bodies since their removal W the workhouse. They had evidently been employed for p ur poses of an anatomical - kind, and he should suppose that they had been stolen in their half-anatomised state from some surgeon's, or from some public lecture-room, by a fellow, who, having severed the head from e ac h o f th e b o di es, had thrown the trunks into the field where they were found. The head was the most va luable part and would fetch a good price. No Surgeon, in the opinion of witness, would have thrown the bodies away in that state, as they might ha ve b een ren d ere d st ill f urther servicea bl e for dissection. They were in a rather putrescent state, but were not so far gone as to be wholly useless. The CORONER summed up the evidence to the Jury. The bodies had no doubt been operated upon ; and whether they had been stolen from the operator and cast where found, or whether they had been there thrown by the operator himself, did not appear. The conduct of the person who had thus, in violation of every feeling, exposed them, could not be too strongly condemned. The Jury returned a verdict as follows:—" That the bodies had been employed for anatomical purposes, and had after wards been thrown into the field where found." The affair has produced great sensation in the neighbourhood of Gray's Inn-lane. Several persons who have recently buried. children have been to the work-house to look at the bodies none of tiieni, however, have been owned. BOXING. BARNEY AARON AND PETER WARREN. An inviting morning and anticipated good sport drew together a quality muster of the fanciers of every sort on Tuesday, in a gravel-pit, half a mile to the westward of Coln brook (eighteen miles). The men, although of light weights, had proved themselves first-rate artists ; Barney never having been beat since overtaken by manhood, and IVarren gained faMe by defeat in three battles with that admired Pet of the Fancy, Dick Curtis. The men arrived at the scratch in time, on excellent terms with themselves, with their seconds, Belasca and Nathan for Barney, and Jew Ward and Maurice Delay for 'Warren. Betting 7t04 on the lindwn good little Israelite, and laid on thick by the best judges of his fraternity. The match was for a stake of 101) sovereigns. After shaking hands both turned to work, and were too eager for spoiling mugs to do much execution. Much caution was' used, and in doing so it was rather hinting than hitting. In a else both went down. 2. A continuation of cautious fighting, and both difficult to be got at. Some slight exchanges of hits, and both down again. _ _ - 3. Barney made a feint, his adversary ran in upon and tapped first claret by lacerating the temple. Warren was thrown, and betting was 3 to 1 against him. 4. Barney began to find out that Warren could not make his counter hits upon him, and he began to play a gay bull -dog game. Ile unmuzzled, broke through his adversary's guard, and ran him down. In the sth, oth, ith, and Bth rounds. Barney led most gal lantly, and proved himself any thing but a cur-bred one.-- Warren behaved with equal manliness, but his adversary was too fast upon him, and would not take denial. Warren was undermost in these rounds. 9. Barney was a little open-mouthed to rid himself of the piper. Warren for the first time had the best of a gay round. He parried and broke ground from his adversary, and returned upon him with much skill, and he placed a severe right bander upon Barney's eye, which nearly blinkered him. He had also the best of the fall. 10. This was also a manly fought round, but Warren found his counter bits avoided, or parried, and he seemed to drop down upon his luck. Barney never left him until he got hint down. 11, 12, and 13. It was 4 and 6 to 1 on Barney; and Vi r arrez` was down in every round, and the claret flew copiously. IT!, fact, his c h ance was lik e a 36 gun s hi p of an enemy to one our British wooden walls well mounted of 44. To describe the rounds until the 18th would be so much of sameness in favour of Barney, that the repetition would be tiresome. In this round Warren made a manly istruggle—wen courageously up to his adversary's head, and fought himself out and in his adversary too. , i In the 20th round t was .uombard-street to a rotten orange; and although Warren stood cutting up until the 29th round, he had no chance, and . Barney was declared the victor, and proved himself a very rare man. At the close of the battle Barney was landed in a harouche and four, bearing the emblems of victory, and was seated by the side of Jimmy Soars, President of the Daffy Club; and after regaling themselves with potions of the Seagar DaffY, they reached Duke's-place, at the hospital mansion of the Benjamins, the swellish part of Petticoat-lane and St. Cathe rine's having there assembled to congratulate their little Shinee on his luck. In the evening stakes were made good for Cooper and Bkd• and Curtis and .dyres, at harry Hull's; and for Turner a nd Inglis at Jack Randall's, and thus a busy day closed. COAL-MARKET, APRIL 7.
