THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, March 1. [NEW TIMES] The favourable termination of the Account appears to have given animation to the money market, the greatest hustle having prevailed dur ing the whole of Saturday. The chief specu lators continue confident in their renewed antici pations of a further advance in all moneyed Securities. Consols closed on Saturday at 934 far the April Account, being an advance of one and a half per cent. since Tuesday last, on which day we noticed every exertion having been used to' produce a temporary depression, which was attended with soma success. On Saturday, however, the parties used less disguise, and purchased very largely for the account ; and the consequent rise has astonished almost every one, as much from its rapidity as its extent. The Old Four per Cents. remain at 10244, and the New 1071. Exchequer Bills are again lower, as the public prefer making a temporary purchase of Stock with the probability of•a profit, to buying these Bills at the late heavy premiums ; they are now 38s. to 41s. premium. Money continues also scarce, which tends to lessen the premiums. The business done in the Foreign Stock Market equalled on Saturday any day during the time the mania for speculation in these Securities was at its height, and previously to its receiving a sa lutary check by that decline in Spanish Bonds, which will long be engrave!' on the memories of many hundreds. Notwithstanding the fervour of successful speculation there are still moments when a symptom of returning sense exhibits it self, and individuals are heard to exclaim to their friends, " Where will this end ?" Even tisose who have made their fortunes in these species of speculation predict the fatal result which must ultimately attend such investments, where the security for the capital is entirely lost sight of in viewing an exorbitant interest, hit the continuance of the payment of which is as uncer tain as the return of the principal. [THB TIMES.] The Paris Papers of Friday; which arrived last night, are more than usually curious to those ho take an interest in the internal politics of France. They contain the result of the first day's eie,ction in the capital—a result for which those only could be prepared who hare for the fast two months been watching the manceuvres of the Government agents, or calculating the influ ence of Ministerial corruption, in a kingdom where representative government is little under stood, and where no independent •bodies exist to . oppose Ministerial usurpations. It may be necessary to remind some of our readers, who are happily relieved from the necessity of at tending habitually to French politics, that in France there are two kinds of elective bodies—that of districts, and that of depart ments; that. the former consists of all who pay direct taxes to the . amount of 300 francs a year or upwards, and the latter of a certain proportion of the former who pay the highest census ; and the electoral colleges of districts were convoked for the 25th of February, and those of departments for a subsequent day. The district of arrondissement colleges of Paris, or the department of the Seine, are eight in number, and 4he candidates proposed by the Liberals for them, were General Foy, the late deputy ; Lafitte, the banker ;' M. Cassimir Perrier, the banker; M. Benjamin Constant, the political writer; M. Benjamin Delessert, the banker; M. Delaborde, the author of the work on Spain ; M. Salleron, and M. Ternaux, the great manufac turer. The number of voters in each College was as follows : in the first, 1,502; in the se cond, 1,360 ; in the third, 1,305 ; in the fourth, 1,318; in the fifth, 1,080 ; in the sixth, 861 ; in the seventh, 'l,llB ; and in the eighth, 456. In the first College, General 'Foy, opposed to M. Le Brun, obtained 749 votes against 743, but neither having gained the absolute majority of 752, the election was declared incomplete, and a new scrutiny was fixed for the following day. A similar obstacle occurred to a perfect return from the second College, where M. Lafitte had 673 votes opposed to 678, the absolute majo rity being 681. In the third, M. Casimir Per rier was returned by a majority of 64 over his antagonist ; and in the fourth, M. B. Constant was declared deputy by a majority of 135. But here the success of the Liberals was arrested.— M.M. Delessert, Delaborde, Salleron, and Ter naux, having lost their elections in favour of their respective antagonists, M. llaricart de Thury, M. de Lapanouze, M. Cochin, and M. Leroy. Who these latter persons are, with the exception of M. de Lapanouze, the government banker, we believe it would puzzle a skilful Parisian elector to state, but it is sufficient that they were proposed by the Treasury, and support ed by the influence of Ministerial corruption. Me naces,promises, direct interference,and even posi tive dishonesty in making -out the list and returns, we are assured, have riot been spared. The Quolidienne tells us that the successful Minis terial candidates were proclaimed deputies amid cries of Vive le Roi. If the claims of their an tagonists were thus to be considered as opposed to the existence of the throne, a republican, or art enemy of the Bourbons, could desire nothing better than a free election. It is stated in these papers that M. Bertin de Vaux has been re turned for Versailles, and that General Lafayette has lost at Meaux. Ess.] The French papers of Friday and Saturday reached our office last night. The last accounts from Rome state that the Sovereign Pontiff, who had been so ill, was recovering his health ; but three of the Cardinals, Severoli, Rusconi, and Fahrizzio Ruffo, were in extreme danger. The sacred college has, latterly, been thinning fast; a new promotion was expected to be made about the middle of Lent. Paez de la Cadena, the new Ambassador from Spain to this country, had arrived at Paris, and may therefore be soon 'xpected here. The Eluile says it has received ; the Smyrna Paper of the Turks, the Speciateur Oriental, of the 15th of January, and that it con tradicts the landing of the Greeks at Scio and Mitylene, and denies also the capture of Caristo, which the celebrated Odysseus was stated to have taken by storm on the 12th of December : the Smyrna journal, no doubt, will deny, if pos sible, every successful achievement of the Greeks. Falsehood and defamation have marked this journal for the last three years, whenever the Greek cause has been alluded to. The French Papers detail the movements of the Greek chiefs. No misrepresentation can disguise the progress they are making. The plague is raging among their infatuated enemies, and doing the dreadful work of annihilation more widely than the sword. Odysseus is said to be before Caristo, where this terrible enemy was put in full havoc, and eight Ipsariot vessels blockaded Negropont. Patras, the Smyrna paper asserts, was fully pro visioned, and, with Cora and Modin, safe from capture. But the Greeks have now got a park of artillery, and the Turkish holds will soon fall before their fire, and the banner of the Prophet disappear from their walls.— Minziacky, the Russian diplomatist, after a slow progress, so as to watch the course of events, had arrived at the Turkish capital on the 17th. He will find it difficult to conciliate the jealousies of the Divan, while the Russian hordes hover on Bessarabia, menacing the frontiers. The Turkish Reit Effendi was, it appears, dan gerously ill, and the Sublime Sultan had deputed his chief physician, with the menace of the bow string in case of failure, to restore his Minister to health. This is a summary method of cure; but the " brother of the sun and moon " deals in no half-measures ; threats, however, do not arrest the career of the Christians ; their expe ditions are all successful, and their cause is daily strengthening, and advancing fast to the glorious consummation, at which, through their unparal leled efforts, it must now finally arrive. [MORNING UHRONICLEd It was generally reported yesterday, that Lord Redesdale, Lord Gifford, Sir William Grant, and Mr. Bell, are to be the Commissioners to investi gate the abuses in the Court of Chancery. The appointment of the two latter individuals would give universal satisfaction, provided they would undertake industriously to sift all matters com plained of—to state their opinions upon the causes of the mischiefs,and to suggest proper remedies.— But one of them, than whom an abler or more up right Judge never presided upon any Bench, has retired from it for some years, in consequence of advanced age, and the other an admirable lawyer, by his own admission tired of labour, for the sake of his ease, has relinquished a most lucrative practice in the Courts ! Can it reasonably be hoped that either of these very eminent men will sacri fice their own personal comfort (after the great sacrifices they have made to secure it) for the pur pose of cleansing those kugean stables, the Courts of Chancery, and the Masters' Offices. With re spect to the nomination of the two Noble Lords : to mention them on this occasion is an insult to the public. One of them is Ex-Chancellor, en riched and ennobled by the very system which he is called upon to reform—and enjoying in his own family all the patronage that Lord Eldon can exercise. The other is an Expect ant Chancellor' Both have abundant reason to be satisfied with things as they are—for without the usual discipline of academical pre paration, they have arrived at the highest honours of the Law ! It would argue an ignor anceof human na t ure to suppose t h at persons, so circumstanced, could proce e d u p on thi s in quiry without entertaining a reverential awe for the feelings and interests of those who had contri• buted to their own most extraordinary advance ment, and without looking to the share they already had, or might in future have, in the benefits which the present system produces. The public mind is awakened to this important subject, and Mini sters may rest assured, that no packed Commis sion will prevent the nation from demanding, and at length obtaining, a thorough reform of this enormous nuisance, which, under the name of a Court of Equity, inflicts calamities over the coun try as wide in their extent as they are severe in their nature. [MORNING POST.] The result of the discussion on Mr. Sergeant Onslow'a Bill on Friday last is extremely gratifying to us, inasmuch as we consider it prognostic of the certain defeat of that measure. It will have been observed that the advo cates of a repeal of the Usury Laws had not a single new argu ment in its favour to advance during the late debate, and that among its opposers are many i n di v id ua l s , suc h as Mr. T. Wil sonland Alderman Heygate, whose practical knowledge of the details of trade enable them to form the best judgment on the effect of the proposed alteration in our fundamental laws. That the Bill before Parliament is supported by names of distin guished authority, we by no means intend to dispute ; but the fact we think may be thus accounted for--that the subject under consideration is of a twofold character, and that the Authorities we allude to discuss but one of its divisions, viz. the direct transactions between Money Lenders and Money Borrowers, on a large scale. For their side of the question this is by far the most favourable aspect under which a repeal of the Usury Laws can be viewed, and from the comparative simplicity of the dealings between such parties, general speculations may be applied to them with much ease and apparent success. But even here we can see the most ruinous consequences to the best interests of the country included in Mr. Onslow's The Statutes against usury are in our opinion part and parcel of the ancient Constitution of the realm, and have efficaciously concurred with the laws regulating the deicent of property to preserve to the nation, notwithstanding our commercial greatness, its distinguishing character of an hereditary mo narchy with an hereditary aristocracy, and elective representa tion of the people. Now we ask if the Constitution had not imposed restraints upon the natural revolutions of property, would it have been possible in a country lik e this, where wealth is so rapidly accumulated by industry, to have retained, to any thing approaching the extent which we have retained, a fixed proprietorship of the soil in the ancient families of the kingdom ? Will it be said, then, that this is not a salutary fea ture in the Monarchy of England ? Were the Chief Magistrate elective, or the Constitution Republican, we might perhaps per ceive a consistency in having the other branches of the State of j the same transitory nature--of acknowledging no Nobility but that of existing wealth, or existing talent. There is, however, the authority of a livin g w r it er o f grea t celebrity, himself a zealous Republican, and a citizen of the United states of Ame rica—we mean Mr. Washington Irving—in favour of the Here ' ditary Aristocratical Institution of England. The permanent interest with which they inspire our great families for the welfare and honour of the people, and the country, is forcible depicted by that Gentleman in one of his beautiful essays, and philoso phically preferred to the more modern institutions of his own country. It is indeed one of the peculiar and glorious character istics of the system under which we live, that while the highest honours are accessable to individuals of the meanest birth, and the fleeting acquisitions of niece genius and industry thus ren dered subservient to the lasting greatness of the State, provi sion is made for upholding the ancient hereditary dignity of the kingdom. We therefore caution those who would maintain the British Monarchy as it is, and bequeath the blessings it now bestows to their posterity, against an innovation of so radical and fearful an influence as the repeal of the Usury Laws. The facility which such a measure would afford for the transference of landed estates into the hands of mere capitalists, appears to us to imply the necessary destruction at no distant period of the ancient hereditary Aristocracy of the country. Is an event of this sort to be risked, and for no other reason than to encourage the raising of loans on mortgage in preference to loans on an nuities ? The latter mode may, for aught we know, be more im mediately expensive to borrowers, but assuredly it does not en tail such ultimate confiscation of property, as will be incurred by mortgages liable to be foreclosed a t ever y fl uctuat i on o f t h e money market. So far as to the direct transactions between great lenders and borrowers which have been principally relied on. The indirect effects of the Usury Laws in mitigating the ferocity of avarice against the needy we befo re a d verte d to, an d shall at pres en t only repeat, that if the rich creditor is assisted by the law in mulcting his debtors to the full extent of his rapa city, the most horrible cruelty will result to one half of the community. [MORNING HERALD.] It gives us great pleasure that Mr. Onslow is persisting in his Bill to do away the Usury Laws. People ought to be allowed to trade as freely in their money as in land or goods. At present, in a comparative respect, rich land-holders only can borrow. If these laws are rescinded, all will be able to borrow. As one of the Members justly said in the course of the debate on Friday night, the laws of arrest for mo ney lent ought to be done away simultaneously with the Usury Laws. One of the Members observed, that though money was at so low a rate of interest in London, it was not easy to borrow money in the country. The doing away these laws would immediately have the effect of spreading the stag nated load of medium at present in London over the country, and would consequently. give a great stimulus to trade, for then every young beginner would be enabled to borrow. At present many such are not able to begin, because they cannot borrow. We do not see a single argument of the least weight brought forward against the mea sure. The only thing said is, that our ancestors did so and so, and because we have implicit faith in the wisdom of our an cestors, we will not alter what they did. The Church is brought to bear on the question. The Church has set its face against lending money on usance. The Church had the authority of Scripture for so doing, both in the Old and the New Testa ment. Moses, to the best of our recollection, says to the effect " Thou shalt not charge thy neighbour any increase when he borroweth from thee." Our Saviour goes farther when he said, " Give unto him that ask." It is rather awkward, in arguments on these subjects, to bring forward the au thority of the Church, which inevitably leads us to look into the authorities from which the Church proceeded to lay down its dictum. Suppose the tithes were the question, and the Church was brought forward as an authority, of course the Old and New Testament would be referred to. Certainly the Old Testament allows of Tithes, but the New says nothing on the subject; for our Saviour told his Apostles to take no thing with them, when he sent them forth into the world to preach the Gospel. We are surprised that Members should bring forward the authority of the Church. Sir John Se bright said the repeal of these laws would more especially be beneficial to the landed interest. lie is right : were they re pealed, every landed proprietor would be able, when he wanted money, to go to a banker, with his deeds in hi s h an d, * an d say to that bank er , I will lodge these deeds with you as a collateral security, if you, on the strength of such security, will discount, at any usance to be agreed on between us, my bill at three, six,. nine, twel ve mont h s, or any other date. This would sim plify the thing, and enable a man to relieve himself in any case of sudden emergency, in preference to going to an attorney, and incurring the dreadful expence of conveying his estates, on the principle of annuity, to the lender ; and as money lenders always like the security of land, in preference to personal security, so the landholder would always have the pre ference in the money market. It is decidedly to the in terest of the landholder that Mr. Onslow should succeed. —The only people that can dislike the change are solici tors, because it will cut up a great d ea l o f their trade of procuring for their clients beneficial annuities in landed se curity, with the deposit of deeds, and on the other side of the question, money for their clients borrowed on annuity. As to trade, the measure would be highly ,beneficial ; it would enabl e the old rich drones to retire and leave their con cerns and mon e y a t usance to y oung enterprising men.— If th e young adventurer in trade is ruined by contracting to give too high a rate of interest, must do as is now done in trade—be g in over again. We state this in case lie does not suffer—for if one tradesman be ruined another sup plies his place immediately. As to the ruin which might befal others, that argument stands for nothing. If the rich will spend more than their income, and will borrow money to meet the difference, they must take the consequences. But all the difference to the country. is, th at a pru d en t man gets h o ld o f land, to th e exc l us i on o f th e i mprovident. Except this subject he simplified, it cannot be un d erstoo d . Ad am Smith, Sir Joshua Child, Lord Bacon, and other authorities, only mysti fied the thing—not explained i t ; an d no d ou bt th e y were mystified by the authorities who preceded them. MURDER. AT BETHNAL-GREEN. [FURTHER. PARTICULARS.]-011 Friday morn ing the body of a man was found by some brick-makers going at a pl ace called the Globe-fields, near to work, in a clay-pit, Green -street, Bethnal-green. The body was immediately re moved to the Weavers' Arms, , wnen it was found that there were several wounds on the throat and face, which created a suspicion that the man had been murdered. Several ar ticles, as well as 4s. 6d. in silver, and some halfpence, were found in the pockets. In the course of the day the body was recognized, and proved to be that of Richard Bacchus, a tailor, who had been missing from his house, Lower Kate-street, Spitalfields, since Thursday evening. At two o'clock on Satur day, a Coroner's Inquest was held on the body before Mr. UN WIN", the Coroner for the district. —R. Robinson, the first wit ness, was the man who discovered the body, and immediately called to his fellow-labourers. The deceased was laying about nine feet from the brink of the pit, and wit ness th oug ht, from the soft n clay, t was not possibl e f or th e deceased toav a e t nature of ir walkedt h to e the i spot wh ere h e was f oun d . The deceased's hat was found on the brink of the pit. An other labourer confirmed this witness's statement.—Jane Neale saw the deceased on Thursday, at two o'clock, and described him as a man of regular habits, and well behaved. Ann Copeland was in the deceased' s room after dinner on Thursday, and saw him take a razor from a chest of drawers, which he put into his pocket; she washes for his family; has known the deceased three or four years, and observed that he had lately become melancholy and dejected.—S. Uffingliam, a fellow-workman, saw the deceas e d on Th urs d ay: had worked 11 years with bins, and observ e d t h at w i t hi n the last fortnight he had become unusually dull. Mr. Frederick Ager, the surgeon of the parish, who examined the body, de scribed the wounds, and was of opinion that they did not cause death, but that the deceased died of suffocation. The wounds might have been given with a razor. He found a small quantity of clay in the mouth of the deceased. It is probable that if the man were a right-handed man, as he was described to be, the cut in the threat would have been made in a dif ferent direction. The Coroner, in slimming up, said it was a mysterious case, but he must leayuit.entirelytothedecision of th e Jury.—The Jury returned a verdict of nri?ful Murder against some person or persons unknown.—The wife of the deceased, in an advanced stage of pregnancy, was in Waiting, but was so overpowered by her feelings that the Coroner dispensed with her evidence. The deceased was about 35 years of age, a weak man, but temperate and sober. BIRTHS. At Dundalk, Ireland, on the 24th ult., the Lady of James J. Butt, Esq., 7th Dragoon Guards, of a son and heir. On the ' 23th ult., at Clapham, Mrs. Niven Kerr, of a daughter. MARRIED. On Thursday last, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Mr. Dixon, surgeon, of that town, to Grace, second daughter of the late Joseph Reed, Esq. wholesale tea-dealer, London, and New castle-upon-Tyne.

The prevalence of easterly winds may have prevented sup plies getting to market from Ireland, last week's import being so very small. Since this day se'nnight the trade has been gradually resuming confidence, and large parcels of both Wheat and Oats have been sold for consumption as well as to speculators : we have to notice an improvement in the price of the former of full 6d., and of the latter ad to 4d. per bushel. To-day's market was not well attended, and very few sales could be effected, at these advanced rates. All other articles were dull sale, at our last quotations. The aggregate average of the six weeks previous to the 15th instant admits IVheat, &c. the produce of the British American Colonies, for con sumption, by paying the high duties. Foreign grain has again become an object of speculation, and some of the better parcels of Wheat have changed hands.
