THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Dec. 11. [BRITISH PRESS. j The Paris papers of Wednesday reached our Office last night. They contain no article of do mestitl intelligence of the least interest on this side of the channel. They are equally devoid of political disquisition, In their extracts from fo reign journals, we have from the Prussian Stale Gazette a format justification of the arrest of M. Cousin. It is alleged that he was deeply, impli cated in the revolutionary intrigues of Germany, by the confessions of several individuals already in custody on charges preferred against them by the Central Commissions of Mayence; and, as his offence relates to a general attack on all the In stitutions of Germany, it is contended that he was properly handed over by the Saxon to the Prussian Government. The principles on which this delivery is justified renders the whole transaction of mere importance to the people of Europe generally. We know not who that has stated his opinions freely as to the conduct of Foreign Governments (and what Englishman has not ?) can hereafter consider himself safe in any part of the dominions over which the in quisition of Mayenee has power. The traveller may be seized at the first stage of his journey, on the pretence that he has somewhere said or done something tending to promote revolutionary designs, and he may then be delivered over from one Power to another, till he is safely and secretly lodged in one of the many fortresses appropriated by Germanic despotism to the arbitrary imprison ment of those who excite its alarm or hatred. The system of the Holy Alliance becomes every day more oppressive and dangerous. It is abhorrent from the spirit and sentiments of the age, and tends only, by its unbending rigour, to endanger the establishments which itwas invented to support. We cast our eyes with anxiety towards France at this moment. Much is to behoped,—much feared, —from.the course that will be taken by her Govern ment with respect to European politics. If re. posing, as she may well do, in perfect security on her Constitutional Institutions, she gradually detach herself from the confederacy of Sove reigns, we may look forward with hope and con fidence to a long succession of years of general peace and general prosperity. But if, unhappily, she should join her aid in endeavouring to repress the irrepressible expansibility of the human mind, we shall augur less satisfactorily of the fu. ture destinies of the world. Be her course what it may, we know what ours ought to be. Jet us continue to stand aloof from alt dangerous conti nental connections, and if the struggle of extreme principles should again disturb the tranquillity of Europe, let us, while the belligerents will permit up to do so with honour, observe towards both parties that strict neutrality, which will best enable us to avoid the calamities they inflict upon each other. So shall our commerce continue to increase, and all our great national interests to flourish. [NEW TIMES.] The Cabinet Councils so frequently held of late have produced no inconsiderable degree of speculation in the City as to the subject of their deliberations. It would be of little use to count the various speculations invented to account for, a circumstance depending on very natural causes. All that we shall at present say is, that no augury of evil is to be drawn from this source. Yesterday there were no, accounts received from Paris by express, and very little 'business 2c hnlicertance Was transacted in the Funds; Cnnsols remaining without the slightest varia tient= at 051 during the day for the Account. Respecting the new Speculative Mining Com. panics frothing additional transpired, the prices remaining the same as on the preceding day at the close of business, as will be perceived by the following prices which they obtained yesterday : —Anglo, Mexican shares 321. to 33/., and the United Mining •ditto, 344 to 36/. per share ; Messrs. Ilullett and Co.'s Buenos Ayres Mining shares 51- to 6 per cent. prem.; Brazilian shares at par ; and those- of the Continental Gus Company at I.f to It' premium. In regard to the two latter it was rumoured that some reduction would be made in the price charged as premium by the Contractors, but no communication to that effect has, we believe, been yet made. In the Foreign Securities no alteration deserving notice took place throughout the day. cTite Times.] A. case of ISOM interest came before the Lord Chancellor yesterday. A. periodical work on medical subjects, entitled The Lancet, had been accustomed to publish Sir Astley Cooper's Lec tures as they were delivered, and was proceed ing in the same course with respect to the Lec tures of Mr. Abernethy—the highly-talented Mr. Abernethy, as the no doubt equally-highly. talented Solicitor-General styled him. We be lieve that Sir Astley Cooper was not entirely content with the practice of the Editor of The Lacet. However, as there might appear to be as much sweet as bitter in it, he swallowed both. Mr. Abernethy will swallow neither : he is not content that his fame should be diffused by the violation of his exclusive right to his own literary property ; and at the risk, also, of fathering what ever errors an unauthorized reporter may commit. He therefore Applied to the Com t of Chancery yes. terday, for an " injunction " to stay the Editors of The Lancet from publishing his Lectures. The matter ended in a temporary compromise, by which the number actually in the press Might be allowed to appear, and the future publication be suspended till the cause should be argued. It was easy, however, to 14ee that the Lord Chancellor's opinion was decidedly hostile to the publi cat i on , The case, as acutely stated by his Lordship, is totally different from those in which the reports of courts of justice or police offices are concerned. The proceedings of the letter are publicijuris ; the officers presiding are the public servants, and they must speak and sibs/ act openly ; and the public, without the payment of any admission fee, have a right to knew how they speak and act; or otherwise British subjects would fall into almost as total ignorance of the practice of the law as the great mass of Roman Catholics are of the contents of the Bib being excluded from the perusal or know- ledge of it by their Infallible Church. The case before the Court yesterday was thus stated by his Lordship It is, whether a party attend " ing lectures in any branch of philosophy or " learning for his own Information, is at liberty " to publish the lectures for his own advan " tage."—lt is evident, if this be an accurate statement of the case, that the mental improve ment derived by hearing is all that is paid for: the Professor has not conveyed away his right to the profit to be derived from publication.— We believe The Lanai ranks very high among medical and surgical men, as a correct and able compilation of reports and cases; and is acknow ledged to have rendered great service to the sciences of which it treats. [MOILNING POST.] . We have received another set of American pa pers to the 18th ult., which contains some addi tional intelligence from the Spanish Main. It confirms, or rather it repeats, the statements of a great and decisive victory having been gained by Bolivar in Peru. A letter from Margcaybo, dated the 17th of September, says, that the im mediate results of this triumph had been the occupation of Lima, Callao, and several other im portant places. Letters from Quito and Guyaquil enter a little more into particulars of the action, and therefore augment the probability of its hav ing really taken place. After stating that " the whole Spanish Power had been defeated," they say :—" we lost the gallant General Cordova, who commanded the advance of our troops. Ile fell at the head of his brave companions at the precise moment when victory declared itself in favour of our cause. General Sucre has taken re-possession of Lima and Callao, which have been deserted by the enemy," These accounts begin to assume a more regular shape, and will probably prove correct to A considerahie extent; for it seldom happens that rumours coming from different quarters agree so nearly on the nature of the facts to which they relate, if those facts have no real existence or are grossly exaggerated. In telligence from Truxillo, September 7, asserts that a dreadful civil war raged in the Republic of Guatimala ; that the city of Grenada was invest ed by 3,500 troops, and that all the Whites, to the number of 110 men, women, and children, had been massacred at Leon." This probably alludes to the state of that province before Gen. Bravo had restored its tranquillity. His expedi tion put an end to civil war, and led to an amicable arrangement with the State of Mexico, n hich there is no reason to believe had been since dis turbed. Great rejoicings are said to have taken place at St. Salvador, in consequence of the re cognition of the independence of the Brazils by the Gmernment of the United States. [M011.141 $G HERALD.) The Chief Justice of the Comiimn Pleas has had another brush, as Sir• Bashful calls it in the play, with the Learned Sergeants. It is some what puzzling to the unlearned public why scenes of this kind should be so frequent in that Court. The fact seems to be, that the Chief Justice is placed in the situation of .a strict Colonel appointed to a corps in which the reins of discipline have been long loose. Every effort to enforce order and regularity is sure to be met, especially at first, with restiveness or defiance. Sir William Best, on his appointment, made no secret of his intention to introduce the discipline of the King's Bench, and, we believe, openly de dared this from his seat in Cotirt. It Is un doubtedly a Herculean undertaking to quell the many-headed 'adversary which the Learned Judge had to encounter. But It is probable, as well as desirable, that he should accomplish it. The Chief Justice has spirit and firmness to repress licence, and enforce order, but we believe he has ever been distinguished for cour tesy and indulgence where these qualities in a Judge are most called for and merito rious, during his whole judicial career. lie sometimes expresses himself with a certain viva city of manner. It is a vivacity nbt so much of temper, as of clear and quick percep tion, impatient of waste of time, and idle delay of right , and justice. Bills of exception will, and should be, of course, tendered, in their discretion by Counsel—and it would be an ex treme impertinence to suggest any thing upon the discretion or indiscretion of that tendered in this instance ; but it undoubtedly is the right and the duty of the Judge to protect himself and the parties before the Court from exceptions offered in wantonness or menace.. [MORNING CHRONICLE. We copied, the other day, from 77w West Bri toil, an account of the failure of lire Mevagissey bank, which had plunged the neighbourhoods of Mevagissey and St. Austel in the deepess dis -tress. Wo.regret, to state that we have received information of the failure of another bank, in a city of the West of England, of whichthe trans actions were very extensive, under circumstances that ►pill, if our information be correct, excite much attention. The failure of any one banking establishment generally leads to the failure of others, and consequently is productive of the most extensive distress. As no man knows where the evil will stop, there is a general want of con fidence, which exposes oven solvent banks to to very great danger. People who have money in banks feet disposed to withdraw it till the storm is over ; ; the bankers, in turn, are obliged to call in their balances to meet the claims on them ; and thus on all hands distress and embarrassment are to be met with. The hest digested projects are thus frequently overturned, and thousands, who have every reason to believ( themselves in the best circumstances, are sudden ly involved in ruin. Let us only think of the amount of distress which must have been caused by the failure of the Country Banks in 1793, %vhen, out of Q 79, nearly one hundred stopt pay. meat; At that time the whole of I,ancashire was convtilsed, and thousands of manufacturers were inlisted into the army in one day. What dreadful distress, too, took place hi consequence of the bank failures at the conclusion of the late war ! When we know that only one bank of any consequence ever stopt payment in Scotland, and that, as the partners were, even in that case, worth many times the amount. of the debts, so that no ulti mate loss was sustained by the public, we are warranted in demanding, in the name of the people of England, why they alone are thus to be exposed to a calamity which might with such ease be averted ? The Scotch Banks are under no restriction with respect to number of partners, and hence, though the Scotch are more adventu rous and speculative than the English, gene. rally tasking their means to the utmost, com mercial failures never affect the Banks because they are founded onsobroad a basis, as to resist every shock. Banking is one of those businesses which ought to be conducted on fixed principles, and hence the number of partners never can be too great for the efficiency of the business, while the greater the number of wealthy partners, the greater the security to the public against abuse, and the firmer the credit. But in this country every thing is sacrificed to the ruinous policy of the Bank of England, which, it has been proved by Mr. Ricardo, is not even useful to Government. Surely this state of things will not last for ever. The continuance of the evil so long, for no other rea son than because private interests are benefitted by the restrictions, because there is not a Minister in the Cabinet who is not convinced that the bank monopoly is mischievous in the extreme to the country, is a curious phenomenon. Here we see men who lay claim to conscience and religion, men who attend Bible Societies, coolly abandon ing the people of England to incessant revolu tions of property, witnessing with composure the ruin of thousands of respectable families every year which they have the means of preventing.- -This only shows that there is hardly any thing so bad which men, who in their private ca pacity are amiable and exemplary, will not do when the responsibility is shared by many. Mr. Jluskisson, Lord Liverpool, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Wallace and Mr. Peel at least,' know that the Bank restriction is a heavy calamity to the country. This is a chapter in the Book of Human Nature which merits the attention of those who wish to know what conscience really is. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] It is clear that very important negociations are pending at this time, in which our own Cabinet appears, from the unusual length and frequency of its meetings, to take an active, if not a promi nent, share. As we understand that, at the Courts of Vienna, Paris, and St. Petersburg'', the same bustle prevails as at our own,we may safely presume that. the question is of general import. We know of only two, that may be classed under this head ; for the affairs of Spain, important or rather portentous as they are, appear to be left wholly to the prudence of the French Government. — The fate of Greece, and that of the late Spanish Colonies in America, are the only subjects which could account for the extraordina r y bust le that prevails in the diplomatic world. Th at both are under discussion may be very reasonably p re . sunned ; for, if the other Power s were willing to postpone the agitation of the a ff airs of th e New World, our own Government would pro_ the absolute hably see, at thi s time, necessity of pressing it f o rward to a decision. Mi uisters would scarcely think of meeting Par liament again, without being able to announce that they had not only made up their minds on this paramount question, but that they were re solved to carry their views into immediate exe cution. As every Power must see they do not wanton ly protrude it, and that they are not liable, on the Occasion, to a charge of acting on selfish grounds, we do not imagine that they would meet with any impediments but such as they could surmount. Our Government, has, in this case, displayed a scrupulous disinterest. edness, and, - we might almost say, a chivalrous feeling, that must give it great advantage In. any negociatian. It does not strike us, there fore, as probable, that the fate of the late Spanish Colonies, constitutes the cause, at least the chief ground of the present negociations. But the affairs of Greece contain so strong an appeal to the fears of some Powers, to the ambitious hopes of others, and to the interests of all, that they ac count at once - for the extraordinary bustle visible nt so many Courts. The mystery in which every Power except one, has taken care to involve its proceedings, gives a higher zest to the subject, and serves to sharpen public curiosity to an ex traordinary degree. The policy of the Austrian Court has been distinguished by its uniform hostility to the cause of the Greeks ; and there are, perhaps, no lengths to which it would not go in' the indulgence of his feel ing. Its hatred , y is so fixed, and at the same time so rancourous, that as soon as it is obliged to listen to any proposal favourable to that people, its first movement is to lay its hand on the hilt of its sword. Whenever the question is seriously agitated, the world is not long kept in ignorance, for a movement in the Austrian army announces that the affairs of the Greeks are brought on the tapis. This bull-headed mode of proceeding, ominous as it is for the tranquillity of Europe, is not more alarming, perhaps, than the tortuous course of-Russian policy. Few, if ally at ail, except the initiated, know the real feelings of that Court with respect to the Greeks. Ac cording to some accounts the Cabinet of St. Pe. tersburgh exerts itself strenuously in favour of that People ; and the movements in the Austrian Army, of which rumour speaks, seems to coun tenance this opinion, There is no other Powee whose views on this occasion could give umbrage to Austria, and . justify the, precautions which she the is said to have adopted. Alexander ma y thin to k de time is come, when honour c o him s upon dare himself upon a subject upon which all rope has long expected his tl _etermina . tiO l w' I some some anxiety, and his own Peoplo wit C ' abinet, thing like fretful impatience.

The question, as we have preseute dently of sufficient importance to account for ti►e negociations pending at this moment. IRISH LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT CF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, DBc. 7. BREACH OF PROMISE OF SETTLEMENT. The Cum' JUSTICE having shortly after ten otock taken his seat on the bench, and a special Jury, sworn the day before, having resumed their seats in the box, the atikrurned case of " Maddock v. Elizabeth Nolan and John 11Iahon ' execu tors of the late James O'Flanagan" was called on. ~ This ac tion was to recover the sum of 2,0001., &c. from the defend ants, as representatives of the late Mr. O'Flanagan, which sum it was alleged he had promised should be settled on his grand-niece, the daughter of a Mrs. Cocking, should the former be married to the plaintiff. Themarriage did take place. The plaintiff rested his case, which was stated by Mr. Sergeant Goold on Monday, principally on a letter from Mr. O'Flana gan to Mrs. Cocking, in answer to a letter of hers, dated from Bath, the 16th January, 1815, stating that the plaintiff had paid his addresses to her daughter, praising him in strong terms, and requesting his assistance to consummate the match between the plaintiff and her daughter. It appeared that Mrs. Cocking on that occasion entreated her uncle, Mr. O'Flanagan, to write her a letter expressive of his acquiescence in her wishes, stating the fortune her daughter was to expect from him, and respect ing other things which she pointed out ; which letter was to be shewn to the plaintiff, as he had previously inquired from her (Mrs. Cocking) as to her daughter's expectations from her family, &c. Mr. O'CormELL, for -the defendants, animadverted with considerable severity on Mrs. Cocking's letter or letters.— They were a combination of maudling sentiments, wild affecta tion, and meanness. Oh ! if she could accomplish her views respecting her dear Mary Anne, she would think of nothing after but her God. She would not indulge herself with a drop of wine—he (the plaintiff), she said, would bring her daugh ter to Dublin Castle. He was " a sweet young," " a good young man," charming young—she represented - him as pos. sessing property; also, that he was of the " first fashion"—his father of great respectability in London ; anti he, too, a near relative of " a nobleman's wife in Bath, a lastly Young."— (Laughter).—This was all done (said Mr. O'Connell) to flat ter the prejudices and the Connaught pride of the old Milesian Mr. O'Flanagan ; and she stated, amongst other things, in a letter to Mrs. Nolan, beginning with " Sly beloved Sister — These Englishmen are odd people ; they wish to think the ladies love them—(laughter);—and she, after all these expres sions, asks this O'Flanagan, living in t he wilds of Connaught, to write to her in " the loving, kind, anti elegant manner he used always to do." Mr. O'Connell, after commenting'for a length of time on these epistles, stated that they contained gross mis-representations in various respects. The marriage be tween the plaintiff and Miss Cocking took place on the 7th of March, at the house of Colonel Nell, at Bath. Colonel Nelly received a letter from Mr. O'Flanagan on the sth of March, dated the 27th of February, begging of him (Colonel Nelly) to look Into the plaintiff's circumstances, and if they were not better than he (the plaintiff) had represented them, he would wash his hands out of the business. Colonel Nelly proved that he communicated the contents of this letter to the plaintiff on the morning of the marriage ; lie, however, add ed, that had the match been then broken off, the youg lady's character would have been destroyed. She could not live in Bath, nor come to her native country without the finger of scorn being pointed to her, for the marriage bans had been previously published, and he (the plaintiff) have even lived in the same hotel with Miss Cocking and her mother, as a person that was soon to be the fornaer's husband. Mr. O'Connell, how ever, urged that even if the first letter contained any contract, the subsequent one to Colonel Nay before the marriage was a retractation. About five o'clock the Jury retired, and after a few minutes' absence, brought in a verdict for the plaintiff, of 2,4801. (includ ing interest), and Gd. costs. O'Corrw ELL stated a number of objections against the Learned Judge's charge, which, with his Lordship's permission he would reserve for a case, and place on the record. His Lordship assented. An Englishman of the name of Moore, 21 years of age, . who was living at the Hotel St. Phar, Boulevard Poissonniere, was found dead yester day in his room. At midnight the day before, he had requested the porter of the hotel to pur chase him a pasty, saying that he was hungry. He awoke -.the confectioner for the purpose of procuring it. When he had eaten it, he locked'himself in his room. The porter ob. serving that' he never made his appearance the whole of the .next day, thought of ap... prising the Commissary of - Police, but he con ildered that it might he Mr. Moore's humour to ' remain lbcked' bp" in his room, and de ferred acquainting the Police till yesterday.

FABLE Xl.—Of the E God DDl T l. hor, the Son of Odin. Mit. EDlTOR—Gangkr asks—What are the names of the other Gods ? What functions do they fulfill ? and what glorious deeds have thee performed ? liar said to him—Thor is the most illustrious amongst them. He is called Asa-Thor, which signifies the Lord Thor, or Ake-Thor, the Nimble Thor. He is the strongest of Gods and of men. In his kingdom he has a palace wherein are 540 rooms. There is no house equal to this in magnitude. Hence we read in the Poems of Grinnis— " There are 540 halls in the massy palace of the God Thor; and truly do I believe that there exists not any house larger than that of this first born among the sons." The chariot of Thor is drawn by two he goats, and in this chariot he travels in to the country of the giants. Three precious things be long to him. The first of these is a club, well known by the Giants of the Fort, and by those of the Mountains, whom they see hurled against them in the air. Nor is this to be won dered at, for this God has often broken with this club the heads of their fathers and of their re lations. The second jewel , he possesses is named the baldrick of valour. Whenever he girds it on, be feels his strength increased two-fold. The third, which is very valuable, are his iron gloves, without which he cannot prop erl y handle his club. No one is sujciently l e arned to rate all his marvellous exploits, and I could re late so many of them that the day would close ere I had done relating thos e with which I ant enume acquainted. Gangler then said, I prefer hearing of the other sons of Odin. liar answered these words:— FABLE !lII.—Of the Gods Balder and Niord. The second of the sons of Odin is named Balder. Gentle is his nature ; greatly pra by men : and so beautiful is his countenance, and. so dazzling his glance, that rays of light seem to issue from his face. To give you some notion of the beauty of his hair, know that the whitest of vegetables is" called the eye=brow of This God, so beautiful and so resplendant, is also very eloquent, and very benignant: but n ° one has the power of changing any thg in the the city of Breidablib. This place of sea decrees he has once pronounced. Be dwells in is in the Heavens, and nothing _ that is impure can remain therein, as is expressed in these verses. " Balder possesses a palace in Braidablik, and I know that in this place there are pillars oil which, are engraved runic forms, capable Of cail ing forth the dead from the grave." The third God is s he that is, called Si () r d * He dwells in a place which is named Nollar* He rules our • d win s, lulls the storms of the sea, and arrests the progress of fire. Him must those invoke, who wish to prove fortunate in hunti n g' fishing, and in navigation. Such is his wealth, his abode that upon those' who serve him he can best"' countries and treasures : on this account also it it is proper to pray -to But Niord is not of the race of the Gods.

Neon ,. has taken to wife Skada daughter of the On' Thiasse. She prefers dwelling with her father in the country of hills ;' but as to Niord, he delights only near the sea, but it was at length agreed that th ney ad should spend nine nights amongst the hill s ' three on the shores of the sea.. On den as Niord was returning from the" hills, .he composed the following song " How do I hate to dwell but have spent there not more than nine nights, how long did they seem to me 1 . There no other sounds meet the ear, save the howling of w olves;olves; these I must. hear, instead of. sweet notes swan." in hilly places Skada answered him these lines ; God at' " Can find mare rest in the b ed of the the Sea, nor long as the birds which hasten every M or ning from the forest, waken me with their shrieks." Then Skada went home among the hills to be a r father, and there taking her bow, and putting th ° o snow shoes, .is she frequently seen bunti n g wild beasts of the forests. t' the first The God Thor, mentioned in the . above fables, is evidently the slo e 11 ,1,, o f the lbws of the Persians, and the a dd.
