TUE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Dec. J. NORNING lIERALD.I It is much easier to get into a dispute than to get out of It. This seems fully exemplified in the controversy which appears to have arisen be tweenthe Archbishop of Tuam, and some Roman Catholic Priests of Galway; originating in a sort of squabble at a Bible Society Meeting in that cohoty some weeks since. The simple fact there w*, that the Archbishop, who filled the Chair, refused to hear some Catholic Priests and others, who wished to argue, at least to make speeches, against the object of the Meeting—the indiscri minate use of the Bible. It is easy to conceive that the full freedom of controversy on such a subject, and considering the disputants, would , have been extremely inconveniemt and uncom. fortable for his Grace; and his refusal may be readily understood and excused. But the broad principle was decidedly against him. The Society should have held its meeting private, or allowed liberty of speech. If a meeting was called and speeches made with a view to convince adverse or neutral hearers of the benefits of the Society, it is clear that those who thought differently should also, have been heard. There was, how. ever, we repeat, some excuse for the Archbishop, and the thing would have dropped long since if he had let the matter rest there. Instead of that, however, a meeting of the Society was held, and thanks and eulogy 'lavished upon his Grace. Now, we have every reason to believe they were merited, and that the Archbishop is really emi nent, and even popular fur his enlarged belie volence as well as for his piety. But this was the very reason why the address should not have been adopted. It was both unnecessary, and of no value either way. 'Those who were on his side of the question would approve his con. duct as a matter of course—just as Mr. Daly, the Catholic priest, would have been addressed, and eulogized by his partizans. Ilis Grace, in his answer to the address, called. Mr. Daly " poor man," and Mr. Daly has upon this addressed a letter to his Grace. Still the controversy might have been allowed to fret its hour in Ireland. But /10—his Grace's friends have brought it into England. The great question is treated, in ati Evening paper of yesterday, with all the party zeal and spirit that might be expected on the subject in a Galway newspaper—if there be one Galway. It is not very discreet to catch and communicate the fever of a provincial squabble. It is ridiculous to think of frightening people at the present day with the bull uni,,genitzes, of which but as little (or less) is known, and as little feared, as. of the brazen bull of the,Tyrant of Syracuse. Again, it is ungra cious and inconsistent to call " popish priest" 66 poor man," and 64 gross and pitiable errors" in Ireland ; acid at the same time treat Popery as " religion," the inquisition as 44 Christianity" in Spain. We wish for his Grace's sake, as well as to avoid the acrimony of religious dispute, that the matter had been let drop with the meeting ; or, having been made a subject of disputation, that the controversy bad been left on the other side of the Channel. [BRITISII PRE S S.] The improving state of the revenue naturally suggests the consideration how the increasing surplus shall be applied. When this question was last before Parliament, it was, on the sug gestion of Ministers, determined,—and we be lieve all parties have concurred in applauding the wisdom of the decision,—that the surplus should be appropriated to the abolition of some of the absurd restraints on our foreign t rade.— The silk manufacture was then selected for the, experiment, if it may with propriety be so called, and entire success attested the perfect justice and sound policy of the measure. The public cannot have forgotten the ignorant clamour which was then raised, to deter Government from pro ceeding in the course they had resolved to follow. The result is, that already, instead of the ac compli,hment of the predictions of Mr. Powell Buxton and Mr. Calcraft, not only is Spitaltields not desolated, but the most intelligent French manufacturers are removing their skill and ca pital to the market, which they foresee is des tined, at no remote day, to supply the world. It may therefore he reasonably expected, that the further reductions of which the improvement of the revenue may admit, will be applied in further ance of the great principle of freedom of com merce. The silk manufacture being fairly and satis factorily settled, we know of no commercial object moreworthy of attention than the present state of tire wine trade. The absurdity of revenging upon ourselves the disinclination ofour neighbours to deal with us is now universally confessed. The single question then will be, how, consistently with national faith and the necessities of the public revenue, we can most beneficially throw open our ports for the admission of foreign row moditie ? There was a time when it would ha‘e been considered hardly less than disloyal to have proposed any measures calculated to promote our commercial intercourse with France. 13y. the Methuen Treaty in 1703, by which we bound our. selves to impose duties one-third higher in amount on the nines of France than on those of Portugal, we lost the French market for our woollen manufac. tures, in order that we might secure the mono. poly of the Portuguese market, on the condition of buying from the Portuguese worse liquor, at in higher price ! We gave up twenty millions of rich costerners, in order that we might have the exclusive supply of two millions of poor ones! The political relations that have since subsisted bet wee,' the nations have at different periods pre vented the subject from being regarded au much in a commercial point of view as its importance entitled it to be. Our treaties with Portugal have been renewed from time to thoe,,in accord ance with the unwise atipol u ti on3 of Mr. Me. j but fortunately it ha ppoo Oat the la , t of these treaties, negotiated in hill,-,expireiiitext 'ear': We shall then be absolutely at liberty to decide upon the course Ice may deem it advis able to follow in future wiih respect to the wine trade. [THE TIMES.] We regret to find, from the Glasgow news papers, that the weavers and cotton spinners of that great city continue to stand out against their masters, and refuse to work. The objects of the combination are stated to be two-fold--an increase of wages and of power. It is quite un doubted that if any class of workmen conceive themselves to be inadequately paid, they have a right to ask a higher reward for their labour, or not to labour at all. The Legislature acted from pure motives, as well as from sufficient reasons, when they repealed the old law against combina tions of journeymen. It was a law not only un just but ineffective, and the existing state of Glasgow is no argument against the wisdom of abolishing it. For when it is asserted that the workmen have a right to combine, it will be also acknowledged on all sides that they must stand the natural consequences of combining ; and among those consequences are the resistance of the masters to their demand, with the probability of other workmen being employed, and of their own final reduction to beggary. —lt ought to be observed, that the repeal of the for mer statutes was accompanied by a sharp legisla lative provision against the means which have usually been resorted to by the journeymen for giving effect to their schemes ; any violence, or menace, or molestation, offered to such indivi duals of their own order as may continue at their work, and decline taking part in the general se cession, is liable by the new law to be severely punished. We find, accordingly, that a mea sure has been adopted by the masters in Glasgow which must bring about the submission of the ;journeymen, and a measure which every friend to justice must wish to see successful. This is no other than the peaceable employment of new hands willing to work, instead of the old and re fractory, who would labour only on their own terms. A number, it is said, of 44 weavers from " Paisley, and of excellent spinners and piecers " from other parts of Renfrewshire, have been engaged" to carry on the business of the de serted manufactories. Arms were supplied to them, in case of an attack from the sulky and threatening seceders ; regular nightly watches are kept ; a proclamation has been issued by the Sheriff against disturbers of the peace ; and many of the works are in full and unmolested action. It seems plain, that in the present state of the country, when there is no want of constant work, the wages proposed by the masters were not unreasonable, since they have been able, to sup. ply themselves f rom th e neighbouring towns and country on their own terms. But, as we have already hinted, it is said in the Glasgow journals that wages are not the sole point in dispute.— The journeymen are accused of seeking such a degree of power over the masters, as would, if conceded to them, totally change the relative po sition of master and servant. They are accused of seeking no less than that the management of the mills should be lodged with the workmen— that, individual weavers shall be employed or dis carded—that foremen shall be selected, not accordingtiiailtimetsos, the master's will, but to theirs - - - drunkenness, and unmarket• able work, shall be no otherwise punished than as they, the drunkards and idlers, themselves, may authorize ! These, we say, are the charges brought against the 44 01)P -" ratives" (we detest the Scotch pedantry of the word), who have long kept Glasgow in disorder, and who will end by ruining themselves and families. if the accusations he just, the punish ment will be as well merited as it wilt be certain. Other hands will be employed ; some of the , masters will emigrate (one has already done so) to parts where they can find labourers more tract able : and combinations—we mean such as are not fairly provoked—will thus be cured by le gitimate expedients. We have seen something of the Glasgow weavers, and feel bound to say, that among the body are a large proportion of as coarse, ruffianly, and turbulent fellows, as ever annoyed an industrious and inoffensive community. [MORNING,. POST.] Communications were received from Spain yesterday, which contradict the report propa gated by ,the Ultra Journals that the French had suddenly halted in their retreat, and that the eva cuation of that country, partial as it is, was sus pended. it continued on all points where it was to take place, and excited the gr eatest alarm through all the peaceful classes. For 'unjust as had liken the aggression of France, i ts consequences fatal as consequences are still likely - tOProVe, the conduct of her army, both during the war and the nun^ pation, has been so exemplary as to fling a re deeming lustre over the enterprise, and to gain the confidence of the nation which it was, sent to disarm. It is as curious fact r that those soldiers who ,had been for years the terror and the'plunderers of Europe, became 'in 1824 the supporters of order and the Protectors of the Conquered in the Peninsula. Their departure is felt as the loss of friends, and while the [ Satellites of Despotism view it with joy as.an noiinCing the lunged-for hour of unshackled per secution and blood, it is lamented by the rest of the country as the completion of its misery. Ac cordirig to these advises, the Goverment•had de=, dared open war 'against all persons who were sospected'of a desire that a.syste in approaching - to moderation . should be adopted, rrh e Police being entirely occupied in the Pursuit Of political offenders, that is to say, .of all who were not per secutors themselves, o pp ose d no cheek to the practices and atrocities Of conunon roblit.t s ,:i nd .

The P r i etts, on the other hand, whose distinguishing characte• l ristic in Spain is not patient endurance of injuries, had raised a force among the peasantry which they paid liberally, and which, under the guidance of Its Militant Pastors, had in some instances succeeded in driving away the ravaging bands. At the head of this clerical army the Curate Merino is said to have been placed, or to have placed himself, and a sort of partisan warfare to be carried on with great spirit on both sides, and with Much general suffering to the bulk of the people. It continued to be asserted by the friends of the Government, and to be disbelieved by the nation at large, that the projected ex pedition had been completed, and had ac tually sailed from Ferrol for Cuba. Even had a sufficient number of regiments been re tained from the ancient army, or created after its dissolution, to compose a respectable body, the want of money would have thrown obstacles in the way of this expedition, which must occasion long delays, if not ultimate failure. Much uneasiness is said to have been expressed by Ferdinand and his Ministers at the orders given for increasing the.military force of Bayonne, as they apprehended that it indicated an inten tion on the part of France, to leave Spain alto gether in the Spring, with the exception of Bar celona and Cadiz, which were to be holden as security for the repayment of the expences of the war, until the whole debt, which is of great mag nitude, should be liquidated. ELY TIMES.] Yesterday passed off without any foreign ar rivals; not even a single French Express was received in the City ; from which circumstance it is generally and correctly inferred, that no event of the slightest interest had occurred in Paris of sufficient frnportnitee to forward by courier. The private letters received by the French Mail merely repeat the prevailing opinion that the Speech of the King of France would prove highly satisfactory. Consols for the Account closed at 95i to 96, being a slight advance in the price in the course of yesterday.—The report of Mr. Canning's retire ment had the effect of lowering the prices of of South American Securities between one and two per cent.: as, however, the report began to be discredited, the prices regained their previous station, or nearly so.—Mexican Bonds 69k, and Colombian 864. Greek Bonds, in which much business has of late been transacted, were also lower. In the European Securities the business was confined, and the prices remained, with little variation, the same as on Saturday, as did also the Shares in the. New Mining Companies. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The Courier may boast of the numerous corn municatious'which it receives from every part of the country,:eneouraging it to persevere in sound ing the alarm against Popery. it may assail the Catholic Priests, the Catholic' People, and the Association io Dublin,in which that. People find an organ, with all the violence of invective. The attempt to alarm John Bull has completely fail. ed We are ready to admit that our contem porary had played his part in ,this. notable conspiracy against commoneal and ability wh i ch i sense ;andtlat twenty years ago, the zeal he has now displayed to so little purpose would'have almost convulsed the country; hut, it is with these. No Popery cries as With other artifices ; on repetition they are apt to fail of their etlect ., , No one doubts the receipt of num berless communications ; for the' Church Mili tant is, no doubt,assiduous in clapping our con temporary on the shoulder, that his courage may continue screwed to the sticking, place ; b u t John Bull is now soberly employed in calculating when he is likely to receive his first remittance from the Mexican Mines, in weighing the arguments for and against Itail.roadsi in conjecturing whether the floods, by producing the rot, is likely to donlile 'the price of mutton„ and what addition the prosperity- of British agri culture is likely to make to his butcher's bill ; so that even the infallible Bull unigenitas, and the prospect of blazing piles, that place where Bulls of a very different description now congregate, for the roasting of heretics, are all disregarded. Even the attempt to touch John's pride by: the demand whether he would allow Himself to bullied into concessions to the •Catholics,, has coMpletely failed.—ln fact every man of sense sees that, religion is the last thing ' about which those who are now raising this clamour : against the Catholics, really concern themselves. They see a small fraction of a nation bestirring itself to retain the body of that nation in thraldom, that it may continue to enjoy a monopoly' of power and place. They see this, and they know moreover that the continuance of this unnatural state of things costs the people of England upWards of four millions a year. They also that so long as the Orange exclusion system is continued, Ireland can never know peace, that the absence of tranquillity is a bar -to enterprise, hat the population cannot conse quently be employed at home, but must seek our shores, - to draw, down our own labourers to the Irish leveh- They. may dislike the infallible Bull :unigenitus, and the Catholic Religioni but they May at the.same.time wish to observe' some mea sure in their hatred. They' may, thinkw.ithT/ie Courier, that the Itev•Peter Daly-is ne c essari l y insincere, because he has only year, while the p.scopal reV eoues of his Grace ally ing 01 . 601. a of Toni prove that conscience alone made turn a Protestant; but still arty may choose to .evince their dislike of 8 1 )4 their admir,tion. of his Grace (whose virtues have been 6fteri tolled), by a sacrifice somewhat less c.,0.A1y than the prosperity of Ireland andli reat Ecitaio. [Tut: pout.tc LEDGER.] Several absurd l'Utlititifi wore put into circula tion yesterday ; that Mr. Gunning had tendered his resignation ; th a t t i„,, e la s y s t e m of coercion, at out conciliation, VFll$ =•ttYbe Ole ride in Ire land, whil4l Nlarqui Wellese4Yl who would be 'wither , t,eful nur trailaide under the new ar rangt-mentr,, Was to be recoiled ; And lastly, that all idea of recognizing the political existence of the New States of America, had been abandoned. ,Th ese reports, notwithstanding their palpable absurdity, served at first to create a slight alarm, but a very little reflection was sufficient to dissi pate it ; and even credulity itself could not long be imposed upon by the rumour, that the manage ment of the foreign interests ofthe country would be taken away from the able bands to which it is now confided. The Public may rest assured, that there is uo question of foreign nor domestic policy that would not be conceded to Mr. Can ning, if he were to insist upon it as the condition of his remaining in office. If his colleagues could reconcile themselves to the loss of his diplo matic services, they would ieverely feel the subtraction of his Parliamentary aid. Besides, it is understood that the Cabinet has ter minated the important discussions in which it had been lately and so earnestly engaged ; and that the results were laid before his Ma jesty on Saturday last, though it is supposed they had been communicated to the King two days before, by the Earl of Liverpool. If his Lordship was the reporter of the decisions of the Cabinet, they were not, we are convinced, of an illiberal character; and neither the peace of Ireland, nor our interests in the New World, would suffer in consequence. THE HAMPSHIRE GENERAL BENEFIT SOCIETY Rosisty.--A very respectable Meeting was held on Saturday at the Town Hall, .1. C. SHARP, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair, to consider the expediency of esta blishing a Branch of the Hampshire General Benefit Society, when the measure was unanimously resolved upon, and a Local Committee, consisting of twenty-five Gentlemen, im mediately nominated (together with all Gentlemen hereafter becoming honorary members) to carry into effect the rules and regulations of the institution. The Rev. John Ford was appointed local agent, and Messrs. Beddome and Winter the local surgeons to the Branch Society. Mr. Lintott, in proposing Messrs. Beddome and Winter, took the opportunity of calling to the notice of the Committee the very useful information they had given the Rev. Secretary, in the primary arrangements of the institution, and that they had most liberally offered gratuitous advice and attendance upon its members, if such should be required by the Board of Directors. Mr. Hor.ams, in proposing the thanks of the Meeting to the President, Join.; FLEinixo, Esq., for his active and dis interested exertions In furthering. the objects of the Society, observed that he felt great satisfaction in moving the resolu tion, because, as a freeholder of the county, he sincerely thought that the worthy Gentleman not only deserved the thanks of his constituents for the interest he had taken in the support of this measure, but also for his firm, constitutional, and upright conduct as a Member of Parliament. He was sure there was no Gentleman present who would servilely oiler fulsome compliments to a superior, but they were all disposed to bow to honest dignity of talent and virtue, and to acknow ledge merit wherever they found it. He felt satisfied that the meeting would agree with him that 111 r. F. merited the good opinion and confidence of the county. With respect to the in stitution itself, Mr. H. did not profess to be intimately ac quainted with the details,. but he knew enough to be satisfied of its superiority over societies of a Similar nature. It appeared to him to combine the advantages of Friendly Societies, with out their disadvantages, which were numerous, and frequently called for the correction of the Legislature. The principles of this Society tended to impress on the minds of the poor the good sense of that admonition, which said— . " For age and want save while you may, " No morning sun lasts all the day." And the institution itself was likely to encourage union and good-will between the poor and the rich, by shewing the former that they might derive solid advantages from the gratuitous contributions of the latter. After a few other observations, Mr. Holmes moved a vote of thanks to the President, which was seconded by Mr. James Aldridge, and carried unani mously. A similar honour was conferred upon the Mayor, for his readiness in calling the Meeting, anti for his able conduct in the Chair. CELEBRATION OF MR. PITT'S BIRTH-DAY. • GLASGOW, DEC. 16.—Yesterday, above 120 Gentlemen of c the. first' respectability, rank and talents in this city and the gut rounding districts, assembled in the Town Hall here in o rder toommemorate the Birth-day of Mr. PITT, a nam e so j ustl y deaf to every Briton, and so highly prized, and so strong l y cherished by his country. The day was changed from the 28th May, the real birth-day of this celebrated Statesman, to the present period, as more convenient for those gentle men who have to attend their Parliamentary duties, but who are ever anxious to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of the illustrious dead. At .five o'clock the company sat down to an excellent dinner, Henry Monteith, Esq. of Carstairs, M.P. in the Chair, and Samuel Hunter, Esq. Crou pier, in the room of William Rose Robinson, Esq. Sheriff- Depute. who, we regret to learn, was taken suddenly ill yester day. The Chairman was supported by the Lord Provost. Mr. Campbell of Blythswood, M.P. Sir James Stewart, Bart. Ge neral Nye, and Mr. Buchanan, of Ardoch, M.l'. The arrange ments made by tho Stewards, were such as reflect the highest credit upon them for their care and attention. The dinner and wines were supplied by Mr. Milne, of the Tontine Inn here, in his usual superior style, and gave general satisfaction. The Band of the 6th Dragoon Guards were in attendance, and dur ing the evening played many national airs in their usual style of excellence. During the evening,•the customary Loyal anti British Con stitutional toasts were given with great spirit and effect from the Chair, several appropriate and energetic speeches were de livered by individuals, and the evening was sent in the utmost convivialty and harmony. Soon . after ten oclock the Chair man retired, when his place was taken by Mr. Hunter, who c ontinued to discharge the duties of his office In a manner worthy of him whose talents and whose memory they were met to celebrate. A considerable part of the company did not se parate till a late hour this morning, when under the guidance of the spirit. of Mr. Pitt, they " weathered the storm,' and re tired to their respective homes, " o'er a' the ills of life vic torious." Of the transcendent merits, talents, and incorruptible in tegrity of Mr. Pitt, there is, and can be but one opinion.— He was unquestionably the prop' of his country and the sa viour of Europe. He saved the former by his firmness, and the latter by his example. The interests, glory, and honour and independence of his country, were ever uppermost in his thoughts, and these he advocated, upheld, and maintained through good report and through bad report—amidst the most tremendous political tempests that ever threatened the world, or that shook and desolated Europe—the moral or the political world. He did not, indeed, live to see his politicy and his plans triumphant, but he left the way clear, obvious, and imperative to his successors, who , by following iis plans, with his spirit, accomplished, after a tremendous struggle, all he sought—all he aimed at—all he contended for The treaties of Paris, in 1814 and 1815, stand eternal monuments to the me mory and to the genius of Mr. Pitt. They are drawn up in the very words—with the very motto which, in 1793, was his motto, namely, " Indemnity for the past and security for the future." Opposed by all the Whig talents in England, in their proudest strength and glory—by Fox, Grey, Sheri-, dan, &c. (anti those were Whigs of weight and intellect, and talent —Whigs worth talking about)—all his measures car vying all his plans triumphantly , in the face of such hi g h were keenly watched and severel y scrutinised, and his talent and formidable opposition, is the best possible proof that can be adduced of thei r wisdom and justice, and of his superior talents and integrity, and forms an imperishable —the greatest possible tribute that can be paid to his memory. No sophistry can tarnish his glory—no envy—no malevolence can lessen his merits, or decry his talents, the pride—the stay of his country—the bulwark of civilized Europe. We understand that Mr. Campbell of Blythswood, M. P., takes the Chair next year, and the present Lord Provost to be Croupier.—(Glasgow Courier.) . When the House of BRAGANZA came to the Throne of Portugal, they signed an Act, in which they sc. knoviledvd that they . derived their sovereignty from the people'. - From that period, every succeeding Monarch has ex erted himself to buy up the copies of this Act., until it was thought that not one was left! One of the Ministers of the POrtuguese Constitution now in London, has, however, sue deeded in discovering s Dutch. copy in the ritish Museum, which will boransla4d and made public.
