THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Peitpers, May 24. [BRITISH PRESS.II When we advocated, some days since, on the principle of fair competition, the incorporation by Parliament of new Marine Insurance Companies, we had no idea whatever of reflecting on the use ful and highly respectable establishment at Lloyd's. We are perfectly aware of the import ant benefits this •great establishment has often rendered to British commerce in every part of the civilized world ; and we cannot be ignorant of the important information constantly derived from its numerous agencies, spread through al most every part of the habitable globe. The correspondence of Lloyd's is indeed immense, and must be attended with prodigious labour and expence. An opinion, we thought, seemed to prevail, even in the Ilouse of Commons, that Lloyd's was a chartered body, possessing a monopoly in right of a legislative enactment but the fact is, that important establishment has neither charter, incorporation, nor immunities of any sort ; all its power and influence pro ceed from the extended commercial pursuits and influence of its members. Nor is there any thing whatever of monopoly about it : the very correspondence of this house, often so valuable, is freely given to the public at large ; the rooms at Lloyd's are all open to subscribers, who pay a sum of four guineas annually; this is but a mode rate charge for the accommodation afforded, and the interesting information which the subscribers often receive. The Committee are always anxi ous to increase the number of their subscribers, so as to extend the resources of the establishment, and the amount of the business done ; every new .member, therefore, is considered an accession, and there is no restriction as to any particular _rank ; merchants, brokers, underwriters, respect able traders of every sort, and members of the pub press, have all, in succession, been admitted. Of course no admission can take place but by ballot. The Committee have a right to see that . the individual who seeks to be a member of this establishment is respectable in his character and 'pursuits. But in this there is certainly nothing of either exclusion or monopoly ; nor could we mean for a moment to insinuate that this esta blishment was founded on any such principle.— • What we then said was, what we repeat now— that if the respectable underwriters at Lloyd's insure on equal terms with the new companies, and pay their unquessionable losses as readily, they can have nothing to fear from the most ex tended competition. Every individual concerned • in the proposed company will be rendered liable to the extent of his entire property for any losses sustained. The subscribers therefore must pause before they commit themselves in any specula tion of this hazardous description. But should such a Company be ultimately formed, we can see nothing the underwriters at Lloyd's can have to apprehend, if their insurances be effected on equal terms, and their indisputable losses made good without cavil or unfair delay. LTHE IMES.] We last night received the French Papers of Thursday and Friday, and letters from Paris . of the same dates. The Journals contain no news of the slightest interest to the English public. — We have as yet no report of the discussions in the Chamber of Peers on the financial Project for the reduction of the Reifies. The Commission ap pointed to examine it consisted of Count Mol lien, who was Minister of the Treasury under the Emperor, of M. Roy, late Minister of Fi nance, of the Duke de Levis, of the Duke de Fitz-James, and three other Members hostile to M. de Villele's plan. 'there was therefore every reason to apprehend that the report drawn up by such a Commission would be unfavourable, and accordingly no effort was spared to gain Over its members. Four of them have al ready been converted ; and as they will form the majority, the opinion of the three refractory Peers will be of little consequence. The struggle which these noble persons had to sustain between their love for popularity and their regard to their own in terests,may easily be conceived from the fact mentioned in one of our private_ letters, that the Archbishop of Paris, when commanded by the King to vote for the project, assured his Majesty, that by doing so he should lose all respect in the eyes of his clergy, who held the reduction of the rentes in such horror, that several priests had so licited him for permission to offer up public prayer in the churches for the interposition of Heaven to avert such a calamity. M. de Martignac has been appointed reporter to the commission on the pro ject of law for the septenniality of the Chamber. An absurd report is stated by the Quotithenne, on the authority of letters from, Constantinople, that Lord Byron had been suspected there of being poisoned by some rival Greek Chief, jealous of the ascendant which his Lordship was gaininc , in the management of Greek affairs. [MORNING lIERALIL] Thursday's Paris Papers, received yesterday in the ordinary course, are unimportant. They contain no intelligence from Lisbon, and are even studiously reserved on the subject of what has equally recently occurred ther e. They are des. from titute of intelligence -pain. Th e noted IVlorillo has been at length permitted t o come to Paris, and was admitted to the presence of th e Duke of Angotileme. This fact has given rise to suspicions and speCtilations. llis visit to Paris, and his audience of 44 the Hero of the Trocadero," are supposed to have relation to South American Affairs. There are accounts from Corfu of the 23d, and from Odessa .of the 96th ' of April. According to the former, the 'affairs of Greece wore a promising aspect. There were some jealousies and dissentious, but it .was ex pected that th e presence of the Turks would unite all parties, from the sense of common in terest and common danger. The Turks have wholly failed in raising an Albanian force. The if liole Turkish force in that quarter does not ex ceed 1500 men, occupying .Arta and Prevesa.— Accounts from Constantinople, by the way of Odessa, come down to the beginning of April. Great preparations were in process of being made against the Greeks, so great that they are regarded as the last stake of the Porte. The approaching will be the fourth campaign, and it is calculated more severe and sanguinary than any preceding one. Turkey, it is said, has not resources for a fifth. [MORNING POST.] Thy French Papers of Saturday reached us last night by Express. Their contents would be insignificant, as the Chambers have done nothing of importance, were it not for the following observations of the Journal des DAats—(see another column of TILE Smx)—respecting the sailing of the Ex-Emperor Iturbide for Mexico, which certainly tend to confirm the idea that he is gone to that country in consequence of a secret arrangement with Spain and France. Now such a paper as the Journal des Dhbals, publicly re cognised as the organ of the French Ministers, would hardly venture to prophecy what it had not some authority for knowing it was intended to attempt, but we trust to attempt in vain. The Quotidienne contains letters from Constanti nople, which state that the death of Lord Byron had produced a deep sensation in that capital ; and that it was rumoured in the suburb of Pera 46 that the ascendancy which the illustrious Eng lish Poet had acquired had excited jealousy amongst the Chiefs of the Insurrection, and perhaps caused the end of his life to be hasten ed by poison." That his Lordship was poisoned there is not the least ground for supposing, after the clear account which has been given of the cause of his death. But should it, contrary to all present appearance, turn out to have been the case, it would be to the apprehensions of the Turks, and not to the jealousies of the Greek Chiefs, whom his active interference had ap peased and reconciled, that we should look for the employment of such infamous and dastardly means to get rid of an enemy.— The _Mode of Saturday has intelligence from Madrid to the 11th instant, but it possesses no interest. It is only said that the late disturb ances at Saragossa were greatly exaggerated, al though it is admitted that there was a struggle in the streets which required the interference of the Royal Volunteers and of the military, that an officer was wounded, two men were killed, and fourteen taken and ordered to be put upon► their trials. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The third reading of the County Courts Bill stands for this evening. From this measure we anticipate the greatest benefit to the country.-- The benefit is no doubt attended with this alloy, that it reduces the share of independence still possessed by a profession, at no time remarkable for tenacity of principle, within still narrower limits. Perhaps, after all, however, we have exaggerated the amount of the evil which we must take as a set-off against the good. In the House of Commons the Bar will remain as be fore, because the vote bliere depends on the interest which returns, and when, in consequence of sudden conversion, a Member can no longer conscientiously vote in any manner which shall be agreeable to that interest, it is un dertood that he is in honour bound to take the Chiltern Hundreds. The chief danger most be from increasing the disposition of the profes sion to sacrifice their clients, when their defence is unacceptable to men in power. But in this en lightened age, a man of professional eminence, by either selling his client, or pleading his cause in a bungling manner, would endanger his re putation for ability ; and men whom the repu tation of knave would not deter, might yet pause before they earned that of fool. That the County Courts Bil will diminish the expence of the , suits which are within its competency, cannot,' we should think, he doubted for a moment, be cause certain costs which are specified, cannot be exceeded. But we never expected that it would lessen the number of law-suits. The ob ject of it is to increase the number of law-suits, by bringing law within the reach of parties, svho could not before purchase it, and who were con sequently often obliged to pocket their wrongs. Mr. Cobbett takes up a notion which was once very prevalent among the higher classes of this country, that litigation is an evil, and that whatever checks it is a good. Under the influence of this notion, many very well-mean ing men were rejoiced at every addition to the taxes on law proceedings, as it would diminish the amount of litigation. They reasoned very correctly, for every addition to the expence of law proceeding must, in a corrsponding degree, diminish the number possessed of the ability to litigate. If the expence of a law suit could in in no case be less than 1,000/. all those whose means did not equal in value this sum would be cut off from litigation ; if in no case Jess than 10,0001. litigation would be altogether confined to men of fortune. We have no doubt that the County Courts Bill will increase the number of law suits five-fold at least, because it will induce many persons to prosecute claims and to resist claims, who must remain passive under the exist ing law. We do not believe,that we exaggerate when we say, that the Small Debt Act for Scot land at once quintupled the number of law suits.' [NEvr TIMES.) On Wednesday last we adverted to the Bill brought in by Mr. Buxton for altering the law of Marine Insurance. We are inclined to believe that the actual state of the law on this subject, though so important in a commercial country, is not very generally known to the public. It is commonly supposed that a great Chartered Com pany exists at Lloyd's Coffee-house, which pos sesses a monopoly of the right of insuring ships and cargoes. Now nothini , can be more con trary to the fact. Lloyd's Coffee-house is the local rendezvous where a large number of insurers meet, and for their mutual accommoda tion they agree to subscribe an annual sum each, for the procuring of intelligence relative to shipping. This is the whole extent of their association. They have no monopoly, no Char ter', no exclusive privilege ; they trade on no joint stock, they have no common profifor , lo9s; but every individual subscriber manages his own DIED. On Saturday last, in Baker-street, Frederisk, second son of William James, E sq ., M.P., ag ed 5 years. On the hist., at llose-cOttage, Putney, Mr. Samuel Jen ne!, after a long and painful illness.

On the 22d inst., in his 59th year, Mr. Edmund Marsden, of the Borough of Southwark, hop and seed-merchant. On Friday last, Robert George Spcdding, of Golden Heart wharf, DoWgato, and' llarefield, Middlesex, Esq., aged 66. On the 22d inst., in th e 33th' year of her age, Sarah, wife of Mr. James Smith, solicitor, Austinfriars. concerns on his own judgment, at his own risk, and with the responsibility of his whole for tune. What is more necessary still to be observ ed is, that no person is prevented from insuring on vessels or cargoes by not being a Mem ber of Lloyd's. Any single individual, in any part of the kingdom, may insure as much as he pleases, and on whatever terms he may think fit. Where then, it will be said, is the objection to the present state of the Jaw ? And what is the object of Mr. Buxton's Bill ? We shall briefly ' answer these questions. By an existing Act of Parliament, which was passed in the year 1719, two Chartered Companies the Royal Exchange Assurance and the London Assurance, were established ; and on condition of their paying a certain sum of money each to Government they obtained the following privilege—namely, that no other Corporations, Societies, or Partner ships should insure any ships, goods, or merchan dises at sea or going to sea. The privilege was originally granted for thirty-one years, but it has continued to the present time. As the law now stands, therefore, any single person may underwrite a policy of insurance on the whole or part of a ship or cargo ; and each Member of a Partnership or Society may, on his own separate account and responsibility, do the the same ; but no Company, as such, can underwrite except the two Companies above-mentioned. The Act of 1719 was certainly framed on principles which cannot Ile justified, and with views which have been disappointed ; hut like many other human contrivances it has led to much better results than those contemplated by its authors, though of a very different nature. The Act purported to guard against the insolvency of private Under writers, and was no doubt intended to throw the great mass of that business, especially the ha zardous risks, into the hands of the two Compa nies ; but in point of fact those Companies do not underwrite a twentieth part of the policies now effected ; they seldom insure hazardous risks ; and on the other hand the loss by insol vency of private Underwriters is in the present times - extremely trifling. Two questions then arise —first, whether the exclusive privilege of Corporate Insurance should be continued to the Royal Exchange and London Companies? and, if not, whether the right of insuring on ships and car goes should be conceded to all other public compa nies? On the first of these points it seems that his Majesty's Ministers consider themselves in some degree pledged to put an end to the exclusive privi lege of the Companies in question, unless it can be I she..vn to rest on strong grounds of public utility. The second question is more difficult. It involves a comparison between a system of unprecedented excellence in practice, with one whose advan tages exist only in theory. It is somewhat like the question of Parliamentary Reform ; the new scheme may be more captivating ; but the present system confessedly " works well."— It is easy to say that some Underwriters at Lloyd's are litigious ; that some of them be come insolvent; that some premiums are high, and that some claims remain long unsettled. — There never was a human Institution that had not its partial defects; but we look at the Establish ment as a whole—There it stands and has stood for above a century— Like a great Sea-mark, saving those that eye it. It has grown with the growing trade and navi gation of the Empire ; it has protected that trade and navigation in the day of darkness and distress ; it has blunted the shaft of the enemy, and lightened the gloom of the tempest—nor can we forget that its benevolence has been as munifi cent and patriotic as its speculations have been bold and judicious. Altogether tlae commercial world new saw any thing like the Establishment at Lloyd's ; and we own we should look with great alarm at any measure which threatened to hurl that noble column from its base. DEATH 01' SIR H. CLEMENT THOMPSON.—This Gentleman died suddenly in the King's Bench prison on Saturday night, where he had been confined since March - last. His day 'rule had been provided in the morning, but sudden indis position prevented him from using it, and before ten o'clock in the evening he fell suddenly from his chair. Medical assistance was promptly ob tained, but the spark of life was extinct. The Newcastle Theatre is advertised to be let. Mr. MANSEL is one of the candidates for it; the others are Messrs. MACREADY, BUTLER, BUNN, and OXIIERRY. New potatoes about the size of gooseberries were sold on Saturday in Covent-garden Market at the moderate price of three shillings a pound! Yesterday a woman of the name of Payne, who resided in Great Warner-street, Clerken well, attempted to drown her Self in the Pad dington Canal, but was prevented by persons who, seeing her distracted state, had been watch ing her movements. Being taken to the house of a surgeon, it was found she had taken poison. She has been conveyed to Bartholomew's Hospi tal, where she lies dangerously ill.

LIVERPOOL CORN 'EXCHANGE, May 18. The import of all kinds of Corn, during the week, has been small. The greater portion of the Wheat, and about one third of the Oats, being of foreign growth, must go into bond. The dullness we noticed last week has continued, and although to-day's market was toleraly attended by dealers, they bought very little. Old Wheat keeps its price; but in ferior New Irish was ld. to 2 d. per bushel cheaper. In other articles there was no alteration. The stock of Foreign Grain, as well as Flour, continues to accumulate, and little is now exporting.
