THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY ------- Extracts from the Morning Papers ) Sept. 22. [MORNING ram . ] French capers to the 20th instant and the 4toite of Monday reached us last night by Ex press. They are still filled with Addresses and Royal Replies, but as the former come from less important bodies, the latter are proportionably shorter. The same feeling, however, prevails through them all, and if the present Monarch should ever depart from the policy followed by his brother, there will not be wanting assurances of his own to rise in condemnation against him. Viscount Chateaubriand, who was amongst those who naturally looked tlythe commencement of a new reign for restored influence, if not for imme diate office, has not been slow in courting the fa vour of Charles X. The day after the decease of Louis XVIII. an article appeared both in the Journal des Debuts and the Quotidienne, signed with his name, which has since been re-published in the shape of a pamphlet. In this piece, which is not in his happiest style, he certainly proved that he tlid not pursue the object of his resent ment beyond the grave ; for he covered the Mo narch by whom he had been disgriged,and who no longer had power to repair injustice or reward flattery, with unmitigated praise. He also took care to gratify, to the utmost possible extent, every feeling of vanity which might lurk in his Successor, and strongly urged the propriety of his baying a splendid Coronation, a ceremony which the health and unostentatious habits of a practice, which, " though it makes the unskilfu laugh, cannot but make the judicious grieve." [BRITISH PRESS.] The course of policy that will be adopted by Charles X. continues to engross the speculations of the salons at Paris. It is no compliment to the sincerity of the King, that any doubt should remain as to his intentions, when he has declared them so positively. Perhaps his over-anxiety to assure the public that no great political changes are meditated, excites rather than allays sus. picion. Certainly no pains have been spared by the new Monarch to convince those about him that he will act on the principle, that his.reign shall be as it were a continuation of his deceased brother's. So far buck as the Sunday, on which our Correspondent is disposed to fix the demise of Louis XVIII., we understand that Charles X. addressed the Ministers in these terms : " Gentlemen, you see what is my affliction. (He was bathed in tears.) I cannot now assist at a Council ; but I feel only that I ought to tell you thus much :—The King, my brother, has managed the affairs of France, during ten years, with so much wisdom, that, if we arc to be all so unfortunate as to lose him, I should think I acted against the respect due to his me. mory and the interests of the Monarchy, were I to follow any other path than the one he has already traced. What he has ' done has been well done." Louis XVII I. prevented from taking place during the whole of his reign. This article, or • rather pamphlet, though it is said to have had a :prodigious sale, has not produced the effect )vltich . its author probably anticipated. It has neither overturned the present Ministry nor re placed Mr. de Chateauhriand amongst his former colleagues. It certainly procured him a polite reception at Court, where he was one of the first to pay homage to the new Majesty ; but hitherto it has done no more ; and from all that transpires respecting the intentions of the King, it is not liki4y to be attended by any further results. [Nuw Ttmcs.] We have received the Mode of 'Monday, which is almost wholly tilled with the ceremonials usual on the decease of one Monarch and the acces sion of another. The Exchange, which had been closed till Monday, w i ►s to open on that day.— Of ..coursa the Papers cannot yet contain any price of Stocks; hut there is no doubt that when business is resumed the price will be as high or higher than it was before the death of Louis .VIII. The new King has presided at a Council of Ministers, to which he summoned the Duke d'Angonletne, now called the Dauphin.— It is expected that his Majesty will leave the Palace of St. Cloud for the Tuileries on Satur day next. Meanwhile the body of the late Mo narch lies in state at the latter Palace, in the . Ball. of the Throne ; and the public is admitted to behold the melancholy pomp from ten in the nin ito afternoon. A funortal service was to be performed on Monday last in the Metropolitan Church of Paris. Y►sterday hying St. Matthew's day, was oh. served as a holiday at the Bank and Stock Ex• change.—The private transactions in Consols were• done at the closing price of the preceding day ; ►JS to 951 for the account.—The Foreign Market being open, the same degree of business was transacted as for the last few days, the prices of 4outh American Securities varying consider ably. Brazilian Scrip was done at per cent. premium, and closed at par. Mexican Bonds at 58i to 59. !Neapolitan Bonds were purchased at SIG,;. In the prices of the other Securities there was no material alteration.--A report prevailed, that by the sr, ival of time Dubliu Packet at Ports mouth, from Vera Cruz, accounts had been re ceived of the surrender of the Castle of St. Juan to the Independents.—(lba) [THE TIMES.) The French Papers of Sunday, which arrived last night, are principally filled with addresses to the new King, and his answers, details respecting the late. King's death, and other Court gence. It is said that King Charles X. has an nounced his intention of presiding twixe a week at the Council of Ministers. The Bishop of Her , moliclis is to pronounce the funeral oration of his Jets Majesty at St. Denis. The Exchange is to be immediately opened, so that public business will be no. longer interrupted by events which have happened in the Royal Family. A cotemporary, who had been among the first to announce the death of the King of - France tiitte days Wore that event took plice, : has since endeavoured to merge his Ignoranceof fact in aSininption of profound mystery and, with a knowing hint or two respecting French policy, Lim, wishes it to be believed that the King ac tually died on Monday morning, though the death was not made known till Thursday.— ONO taiontuNo HERALD. j :Gomplaints are often and very justly wade of what is called the Licence of the Bar ; we mean the extraneous matter which advocates introduce into their addresses in Courts of Justice, and the violent, offensive, and intemperate manner in which persons ,are sometimes treated who are veiled upon to give evidence. We are well aware ,of.the:ditliculty which exists in eliciting the truth jinn), unwilling and guilty witnesses; and if the ,prrtctices we allude to were confined in the ex ercise to such persons as those, one would not much pity the ordeal they had to undergo. But Idioms who „attend Courts of Justice must Le aware that the system we complain of is not confined to cases of this descrip , daft) Out fact used with little, or no dis - criminatiat butt it is sometimes employed in TrupOrtion• to ,they , , apparent timidity of the sub , -poop n hour it, Can be exerci,ed, and not mare ! . quently in the instances of those towards whose • sex the gallantry and good feeling of mankind have, by Common coi6eat, assigned tenderniss The King's private friends, naturally enough, expected to have been his public Councillors whop be ascended the throne, but they are, in all probability, destined to feel the bitterness of dis appointment. Charles X. had for some months taken an, active part in the management of public affairs. • All the measures of M. de Villele were submitted to him with the consent, and at the ex press desire of the! late King. Unless, therefore, the deepest and most revolting duplicity should usher in. the new:reign, the'same general system will be pursued,. and ..most, probably the same men will, with perhaps an exception or two, be employed to administer it. Rumours are circu lated respecting the introduction of the Prince de Polignac to the French Cabinet, and it has been stated in the papers that the King will himself preside twice a week ; in which case both the real and nominal power of • Villele would be reduced to narrow limits: but though the attachment of Charles to Polignac is well known, nothing that has yet occurred seems to spew that these rumours have any foundation but the lively imaginations of the cutleries of Paris. As to . M. de Chateaubriand, he has done well to return to his old business of pampleteering. It becomes him infinitely better than the dignity of a Minister, which he never . properly understood. If he must write nonsense, let him be removed from a station in which he may render his non sense dangerous. Dues he suppose that the King of France • will call him to guide his Councils, because he tells the French people that, " in the maturity of age, their Prince has preserved the charms and noble elegance of his youth ? Charles the Tenth; after all, is not, we believe, likely to prove the wretched dupe of such gross flummery. Those who looL for ward with alarm to the future course of this Sovereign dread the ascendancy known to be possessed over him by The Clergy. The recent institution of the Department of Ecclesiastical Affairs and public Instruction, and the ad-, mission of the Bishop of Ilermopolis, as the re presentative of the Clergy, to a seat in the Cabinet, are the measures cited in evidence of the design, which some expect to have imme diately developed, for raising the Genial] church to its former eminence. We are certainly ap prehensive that these measures do indicate'the existence of a design too accordant - with the King's, character. The education of the French youth will, perhaps, be subjected to the absolute controul of the Clergy. The people of France can, at this day, hardly be carried back to the base ignorance and degrading superstition of the people of Spain and Italy ; but much will pro bably be done to retard the wholesome progress of public knowledge, and weaken those springs of public spirit, which are supposed, and . aupposed justly, to press with peculiar force against the power of the Priesthood. and protection. Of late a new evil his arisen,' lele on the subject of M. Peyronnet. This latter or, if not arisen, has come much more into use, was the only Member of the Council who, be we mean the practice of joking, and of very bad sides the President, possessed any talen►s above wit indulged in at the Bar, and sometimes on mediocrity, and M. de Villele will have only cy the Bench. We are too fond of a joke ourselves pliers about him in the management of public not to encourage it in its proper place and sea- business. From this change also we and infer son ; but as " praise undeserved is satire in the termination of Madame du Cay la's in- disguise," so we consider that jocularity upon serious subjects is at least a proof of a bad and miserable taste. In criminal cases low hu mour must be nearly always misplaced, yet we have known cases in which the life of the party was at stake, where tke Advocate has been so injudicious as to give way to ill-timed pleasantry ; and even to lead the witnesses away from the real facts of the case, to illustrate and carry on some trumpery pun or inuendo of his own. We cannot but think it due to the dignity and solemnity of our Courts of Justice, to the awful interests which are at stake there, as well as to the credit and respectability of the Bar it self, that this disreputable practice should be re pressed. If a man would not laugh, joke, or pun on the death-bed of his friend or relation—why fluence, who supported Peyronnet, and for whom the late King displayed much affection up to the latest hour of his life. It appears that it was she who had the courage to prepare him for the event, and the Prince shelved his gratitude by creating her a Duchess. M. de Cazes, on hearing of the death of the King, went to his chamber, and on seeing his mortal remains, played a pathetic scene with such admirable talent, that Damas, the actor, who has succeeded Fleury, has reason to be jealous. M. de Cazes wished to render himself interesting, he has made himself, or rather he remains only ridiculous. should he do so upon the trial of a person whom he has been paid to prosecute or defend, in a case which implicates his life or liberty ? In short, where we should consider humour mis placed in our own case, why should we employ it in that of another ? Good sense and good taste, then, should repress so silly and unworthy A t the expiration of the mourning; there is to be a magnif►cent Coronation, to take place at Paris.

[MORNING C U R? CLEW] A letter from Paris, dated Sept. 18, says—" I take up my, pen again to give you some news of some importance. Even if Charles X. had the intention of changing the President of the Coun cil, he has probably given it up for the present, in consequence of M. de Villele having had the address to propose, and thus prevent the wishes of his Majesty, that the Prince de Polignac, Am: bassador at London, should be Minister of the In. terior. This point seems settled. As soon to he re. turns from England, M. de Corbieres wild be made Minister of Justice, and M. Peyronnet will he provided for by the place of Procureur-General to the Upper House, which will be created Inc the purpose.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MA NSION-II OUSE. Yesterday Mr. Seiner re it, the Inventor of a great many inge nious things, which the work' does, not sufficiently appreciate, applied to the Loan Mayon, for his Lordship's permission, as conservator of the river, to allow an exhibition, which he (Mr. Scheirer) intended to make next Thursday, near London bridge. Mr. Scheirer stated that he had now invented a life-preserver, Which did away with all ground of fear for the consequence of shipwreck and the chance of drowning. It was, though he said it, a wonderful thing, and ought to be adopted all over the world. Ile then chewed the Lord Mayor a plan,' which exhibited a number of persons supporting themselves in safety upon his preservers in the midst of a stormy sea. , The invention appear ed to consist of a girdle made of a flexible substance, which is inflated, and, as he described it, has no seams. Ths Loan blaYon said he thought Mr. Daniels had in , vented something of this nature, which was considered to have attained every thing that was desired. There was only one dis taste to the use of these things, namely, that people not being constantly under the apprehension of death, they could not be persuaded to encumber themselves by always carrying such safeguards about them. Mr. Scheirer did not hesitate to declare that his plan was in comparably superior to that of Mr. Daniels ; the latter was as cumbersome as two hugsheads tied together, and supported the body by means of a strap, which passed between the legs whilst his, a simple girdle, was portable and elegant, and would be pleasant in the wear even to a lady. Ile was desirous of demonstrating the superiority of his invention with a public ex hibition on Thursday; in the Thames, where, by means of this girdle, he would ensure the heaviest man in the Corpora tion from being drowned in swimming through London-bridge, at the time when the fall of water was greatest. The, Loun MAYOR considered that few would have such confidence as the inventor, in these schemes on the principle of 'the bladder, which school boys were warned not to rely upon. Re could not sanction the proposed exhibitions, as a crowd of people would get together on. the water, persons might be h k a in l v d l i n i w e g h ll an i n s v t c e t !t n o w ed r as e i x t L i i: drowned, and a s h are o f the blame would fall upon him f or w ed id l i iis his astonishment at the objecti on , preearvers. Be appe are d to and said confidently, that no person should rvn any risk of th at e re re ss be not even unwilling that such an opportunity should occur of proving the utility of his invention. The. LORD MAYOR said he should not molest the inventor, but repeated that he did not sanction the exhibition. The Inventor, who seemed determined to construe' every thing into approval, thanked his Lordship for his' patronage, and departed. ASSAULT BY AN ATTORNEY. BOW-STUEET.—Mr. W. Dukes Giles, of Furnival's Inn was brought.before Sir It. BIUNIE, and G. R. MINS/lULL,, Esq. on a warrant, to answer the complaint of a person of the name of John Thompson for assaulting end beating him, AIL Th ompson state d hi mse lf t o b e a ta il or, although 1-i was now unfortunately very '° r , an d with the and said, that utmost difficulty ena bl e d to maintain 1)1314111 4, he was the rightful clai mant to f r e e hold estates to a large inuotim . ./.80 prig as two years a go h e e mployed the defendant to lake thq ne, eessary steps to recover possession of the property to Oa he , was entitled, ; and in order to enable him to do so.ho eatnisted him with doc umen t s u pon which. the proof of hie ' claim mainly rested. 'From that time to the present, however, tho de(endant had never done any thing decisive; in fact, the matter was not forwarded one iota ; and being extremely dissatisfied with his conduct, complainant, a considerable time ago, applied to have his papers restored; but the defendant, objected to give them up until he was paid a demand which tie set up of 7/. for his services. This the complainant thought he had no right to pay., inasmuch as no services had in reality been performed. Yes terday morning his wife, accompanied by a young woman of her acquaintance, went to the defendant's chambers to demand the documents, when he treated them very rudely, and locked them in. One of them screamed out, and complainant, who was waiting below, 'went up stairs to ascertain the cause, when he was seized by the defendant, shook violently, and his hat knocked off. The defendant now admitted having the papers, but said he had offered repeatedly to give them up. Complainant—How can you say that, when you know how repeatedly you have been applied to ? I was determined to take the business out of his hands, your worship, continued Thomp son, and 1 therefore employed Mr. Cooke, of Furnival's who applied several times to the defendant for the papers, and he has promised as many times to give them up, but still re tains them, and he says he has lost two of the papers, one of which is the most important of the whole. The defendant, in reference to the more immediate charge of assault, said, that the two women came into his chambers when he was engaged in business, and he desired them to leave in stantly. Mrs. Thompson did retire, and he locked her out.— Ile then desired the younger woman to go into another room, and locked her in, when she began to stream ; but she might have retired by another staircase which led from the room. lie ad. !flitted shaking the complainant a little. A long altercation took place bet ween th e comp l a i nant, hi s wife, and the young woman on the one side, and the defendant on the other ; in the course of which the latter was accused by the women with having treated them with extreme roughness, and by Thompson with having grossly deceived him with re spect to his cause. Mr. Mtlisitur.r.--What property is it you lay claim to? Thompson—Freehold estates, Sir, to the amount of 10,0001. to which I have an indi s p u t a bl e c l a i m ; an d here I am reduced almost to a workhouse by the deceptive conduct of this man and his refusal to give up my papers. ' Mr. MINSIIU LL, to defendant—How do you make your bill amount to 71. ? • You seem to have done nothing; and mean while another claimant mayst 9 in and deprive this poor fellow of the property to which lie is justly entitled. The defendant said he had no doubt that the complainant's claim was a just one. His (defendant's) bill was for visits to a Mr. Lockhart and other persons upon the subject of the claim. Complainant—Why lie never visited Mr. Lockhart accord ing to appointment.. That gentleman, who is a Member of Parliament, waited for him morning after morning, and I lost Mr. Lockhart's friendship and support in consequence. Be sides, hlr. Cooke offered to pay his demand, if he would fur nish a proper bill, and give up th e d ocuments . Sir BIRNIE, examining the Law List, observed, that he did not see the defendant's name as an attorney entered there at all. The defendant said he was in last year's List, but being at Uxbridge at the beginning of the year, and not being deter mined whether to remain there or return to London, he had ne glected to take out his certificate until it was too late to have it inserted in the present year's List. After some further conversation, the MAGISTRATE said, that the best course for the defendant to pursue was imme. diately to give up the papers; and to give him an opportunity of doing so, he would suspend the warrant until to-morrow (this day). Mr. Thompson thanked the Magistrates ; and the defendan said he would adopt the course which they advised. AN UNLUCKY RESEMBLANCE. MARLBORO (lOU-ST ItEE T.—Yesterday Mr. James Bentley, of Litchfield-street, Soho, was brought up, charged with having committed a gross assault and outrage on the person of Mr. James Gamer, of 10, Francis -street, Tottenham-court-road, under the following extraordinary circumstances : Mr. Garner stated, that about half-past ten o'clock yesterday morning he was walking with a Gentleman along Grafton-street, Soho, when about the middle the person accused crossed from the opposite side of the way . , seized him violently by the c o ll ar , shook him severely, and Called him a thief and a robber. His extraordinary conduct caused a considerable number of persons to gather round him, to whom defendant pointed hint (Mr. Garner) out as a thief, and accused him of robbing him of a sum of money. 'Witness finding the defendant would listen to no remonstrance, anti that lie insisted upon charging him with the robbery, considered it necessary to give hint in charge of an officer, that he might substantiate his assertion before a Magis trate if he could ; anti if not, that he (the accused) might be held to bail for so gross an outrage. Mr. Garner concluded his statement, by declaring, that he never in all his life saw the defendant before he accosted him as described, and could of course only account for his extraordinary behaviour from his (Mr. Garner) bearing a resemblance to some other person. Mr, Bentley said that Garner was not his name, but Tan ner, and that he acted as an attorney, and had robbed hint of thirty shillings about two years ago. He (Mr. Bentley) hap petted to contract a debt with a . person named Kennedy ; Mr. Tanner found it out, and sent him a lawyer's letter, declaring, unless he immediately paid the debt anti costs he would arrest him,. and actually served him with a copy of a writ. Subse quently he had an interview with Mr. 'l'. at his chambers in Austin-friars where he undertook to stay proceedings upon payment of thirty shillings, which witness accordingly paid, Mr. Bentley persisted he was right in the person, and would swear it immediately. Mr. Cowaier now asked Mr. Garner what he had to say in answer to the chae of 111 r. Bentley ? Mr. Garner said he would clearly prove to his Worship he was not the person. lie now resided at No. 10, Francis -street, Tottenhamcourt-road, and was en accountant; prior to that he lived at 57, High Holborn, at which time he was in the firm of Messrs. Holditch coach-makers, in Long-acre. lie declared most solemnly that he never resided in Austin-friars, that he never acted as an attorney, nor as any agent in the profession in all his life, Ile could prove the truth of his statement by a gentleman who was present, and by Messrs. Holditch, and in. deed a hundred persons. Mr. Thomas Jones stated that he knew Mr. Garner for the last seven years, and was confident he never could have acted in the way described. He was a gentleman of the strictest honour and integrity. 'Witness was quite sure he never lived in Austin Friars. Mr. Garner said he would not let the subject pass unless he (Mr. Bentley) made a public apology in the newspapers to him. Mr. Bentley said he had no objection to make a verbal apo. logy, but he would not consent to have his name exposed in the public papers. Mr. CowAwr thought Mr. Garner's offer very fair, and ad. vised Mr. Bentley to accept it. Mr. Bentley peremptorily refused, and he was ordered to find sureties to answer the assault upon Mr. Garner at the Seasons. MAHLBottouort ST nEET.—Yesterday a young man of the name of Durham,. who has been som e d a y s i n custo d y upon he charge of be i ng found at 2 o'clock in the morning in the area of Mr. M‘Leland's house In Great Russell.street, was brought up for final examination, when Mr. CONANT observed that the prisoner's friends and relations were fully of opinion that he had lately got leagued with a gang of bad — characters, and therefore that he ought not to be let off. Prisoner—" I shall throw myself entirely upon your mercy, Sir; and whatever punishment you may award me, I shall willingly submit to without a murmur,. and I trust it will be a I ru caution to me the remainder of s; life.' " I hope it may be," said Milleoffrovr ; " and, from the proper sense which you now !mom to feel of your situation, I shall only commit you for two months, instead of three, as I first intended, to the House of' Correction. • The prisoner bowed very respectfully, and thanking the Magistrate, retired With the gaoler. There were several highly respectable friends ofthe prisoner's about the Office, but none of them interfered at all, Or said a word during . the examination. _. . . Some duplicates found upon the prisoner of hilt own' wearing apparel, which he had pledged, were ordered to lie sent to his mother. .• LA FAYETTE.—Letters from Boston state, that Geueral LA FAYETTE entered that city on 'rues... day forenoon, about 11 o'clock, and was escorted by an immense multitude to the Senate Chamb er , where the Governor and Council were assembledto receive and welcome him. The procession was so numerous that it was nearly one o' c l oc k before the rear entered the Common.—(New York Paper, Aug. 27.) of the ;buil, and On Tuesday last, as a party of seamen be. . . longing' to his Majesty's ship Salisbury, Just arrived from the Halifax station, were walking up Potnt-street,' Portsmouth, rather elated with liquor,' a bull, which had escaped from the King's slaughter-house, came running towards the jolly I : 44 ut Jo s e: ur n:: tars, with his tail erect In the air, when all the-mei, jumped and shaking his an ahoy, out of his way except one, and he being d, hfealilloedw,htiimtooidnitnhtehfeolslotrweeitngdiwreocrdtlys tßneulwl , a a y hoy l dry' Drop your peak, and put your helm a-starboard, or 'you'll run aboard of Me !" put bull, continuing his c o urse, being came intimidated, contact imd at e d, with sp r u J Jack, , from a n capsized the g roun clothes. very good-naturedly, observed to the bull, "Oh, you lubberly'beast, I told you how it would be." • MANCHESTER STREETS' IMPROVEMENT ACT. In compliance with a requisition to the.
