TrIE LONDON. JOURNALS. DA I LY _Ex!racts from the Morning Papers, Feb. 14. PIIESS.] The Greeks are proceeding, with unabated - Vigour, in their career of emancipation, and every 'there pressing their ferocious oppressors. Ac counts from Syra, to the 2d of January, state that an expedition had been armed by the gal lant Christians against their enemies in ruined S;cio. The Greek troops, to the number of four thousand, had landed near the fortress that corn ;nands the island, and had routed the Turkish hands who opposed them, and driven them into the castle, where they were besieged. A squadron of twelve llydriote and Ipsariot vessels, with three fire-ships, cruised before the island, so as to cut off all succour from lite barbarians, who were inclosed within the fortress, and hopelessly Iseleagured by the Greek troops. Several of the principal Sciotes, who escaped the horrible mas sacre of 1822, distinguished by their character and wealth, were at the head of this expe dition ; and it is remarkable (the account from Syra states) that the great number of the pre sent advisers and heads of the armament now di rected against Scio,and are among those who were armly opposed to the first ill-combined attempt of the Samians in 1822 : but the time and cir cumstances are altogether different. They also, hear the principal expellees of the present expe dition. A battering train, sufficient to reduce the fortress in the island, was embarked at Na poli de Romania, and had arrived at Scio. Seve ral vessels, freighted with ammunition and provi sions, bad also sailed from Syra for the same des tination. Thus Scio is likely again to be in the hands of the Greeks, and they will probably execute a dreadful vengeance and a just reta liation on a portion of the sanguinary bar barians, who spread murder and destruction •fhrough that lovely island. Ruins are all round them, and call up the memory of the dreadful past. Can they, in the hour of victory, be calm and self-possessed amid such recollections ? Should they exterminate the Turkish garrison, will it be any thing but an act of justice, and sanctioned by every principle of even civilized War ? These barbarians, in 1822, spared nei ther age nor sex. Can they now hope for mercy themselves? And, should the Greeks retaliate, can it be termed wanton and sanguinary atro city, when we recollect the unparalleled hor rors of hapless Scio, and what its peaceful inha bitants endured ? [NEW TIMES.] We have received Spanish Papers to the 4th in stant, and we call attention to our Private Corry spondence from Madrid, which will be found to give an accurate picture of the state of Spain. The Go. verntnent has suppressed the Restaurador, a high Royalist Paper. This step indicates the critical difficulty of its position. The Restaurador was patronised by the Clergy, whose influence in Spain is paramount ; but the Allied Powers feel that a more moderate policy is essential to the peace and tranquillity of the Empire ; and there fore they appear to have insisted on the suppres sion of a Journal which kept alive the exagge rated hopes of one party and the alarms of the other. In order to soften the blow, the prohi bition was made general, with the exception only of the official Journals, or of those which were merely filled with the details of agriculture, corn . - merce, &c. Still it is clear that the Government must have given great dissatisfaction by this measure to the Royalist party in general ; but it bad to choose between offending them and re sisting the will of all the Allied Powers ; and this latter alternative it was certainly not strong enough to adopt. The inhabitants of Barcelona, it is said, refused to admit the Baron D'Eroles into their city, from fear of the vengeance he might be disposed to take on them for their con duct during the rebellion. It does not appear how the matter was , ultimately settled : but settled it was by the intervention of the French. Certainly those who are willing to act conform ably to the laws henceforward ought not to be disturbed for their former misconduct; but an open resistance to the King's Officer in command of the Province ought on ao account to be tole rated. Unqualified submission to the laws is the first step towards public tranquillity. [THE TIMES In answer to a question put last night in the House of Lords by Lord Grosvenor, Lord Li verpool stated that the new appointment of King's Itemembrancer of the Exchequer was merely temporary, till the Treasury could agree upon the best means of carrying into effect the recom mendation of the Parliamentary Committees for the regulation of that office. As the word " ster nal," in the language of yow l Ladies, means, according to Fielding, a duration of a few thys or hours ; so C 4 temporary," in Ministerial par lance, is used to comprehend any given time. We have a strong suspicion, that but for the late notice taken of this appointment, " tem porary" would have been understood in its largest and most extended sense. On another observation made by Lord Liverpool, we are less inclined to exercise any criticism. lie uses lan guage at once explicit and constitutional, when, on the subject of tread-mill labour, he expresses his perfect agreement with Lord Lansdown, that " if the punishment of the tread-mill was applied ‘ 4 previous to sentence, such application was a " violation of the letter of the law :" he might have added, and still more of its spirit. The House of C6lll/11011S' report of last night presents no topic worthy of particular remark. Sir James Mackintosh gave a conditional notice respecting the South American colonies, similar to the one given by Lord Lansdown on Monday last. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The Skelton has arrived at Portsmouth from Van Dieman's Land, and from Rio de Janeiro, bringing letters from the latter place to the sth December. At that time the city was tranquil, but confidence had not returned amongst its inhabitants. It was not then ascertained how the recent conduct of the Emperor Pedro had been appreciated at St. Paul's, where the feeling of the people is known generally to be Republi can. There is only one true Legitimate at present on the whole continent of America, and he pos ses the rare talent of being able to unhinge so ciety, and to sow distrust in all the transactions amongst the inhabitants of that part of America which is blessed by his presence. A report was cur rent at Rio, that Riva Aguero, the former Pre sident of Peru, had persisted in his opposition to the Government of Torre Tagle, the new President, An d that General Bolivar intended to proceed from Lima on the Bth of October to Truxillo, to endeavour to settle the existing dif ferences by force, if the object could not be otherwise obtained. This rumour receives some degree of credit from the following extracts of two letters from Lima, the one dated on the 21st of August, which says, " Since my last, the Su preme Congress has again re-installed itself—has declared Riva Aguero, their former President, a traitor—and elected Torre Tagle in his stead, in whose name the Government is conducted. It is reported that Riva Aguero is advancing upon this capital with troops, but it is not believed he has sufficient popularity to effect any disturb ances," &c. The other letter is dated on the 11th September, and after relating other events, it proceeds—" the most important news, however, for parties here is the arrival of Gen. Bolivar in this city on the Ist instant, which has put an end to that party spirit and ill-blood that exist ed beteen the present Government and the late President Riva Aggero, for Bolivar's in fluence will, no doubt, be the means of imme diately turning the forces of Riva Aguero, which were destined to support his ambitious views, to a much better account, by sending them against the common enemy. &c. It therefore ap pears that Riva Aguero had not submitted to the Peruvian Government on the 11th of September, and there may, in consequence, be some founda tion for the report circulated at Rio respecting Bolivar's march on Truxillo, but at the same time the latest letters from Buenos Ayres, dated 12th Nov. do not even hint at any event of this nature, but on the contrary state that all theaccounts iron, Peru were, by the latest advices, most satisfacto ry and favourable to the cause of independence. Had any thing unfavourable occurred at Lima in the beginning of October, it would most probably have been known at Buenos Ayres on the lnth of November, and hence the rumour of hostilities betwixt Bolivar and Riva Aguero has not re ceived much credit here this day. Should it however prove to be well founded, the treason of this Officer can only for a short period retard the triumph of independence in Peru. [MORNING POST.] Upon the appointment of Air. H. W. Vincent to the Office of King's Remembrances, we ob served an article in The Times of Wednesday last, of such a character as led us to entertain no doubt of the fals e hoods of the accusations con veyed in it, even before we had m a d e i nqu i ry upon the subject. Of the personal insinuations by which those accus a tions were accompanied, we shall take no other notice than to ex press our regret that any Paper having preten sions to credit and respectability could give admission to them. We shall confine ourselves to a plain and simple refutation of the charge against the Government. The substance of it that in defiance or neglect of the intentions and provisions of the Legislature, the Treasury have I proceeded to fill up a sinecure office, which upon the death of the late possessor ought to have been reformed ; and that, actuated by motives of the most unworthy partiaroty, they have been guilty of saddling the public with a Principal and De puty in that office, while the Deputy alone, " Mr. Abel Moysey," would have been fully com petent to discharge the duties of it. We have ascertained that there is not a vestige of truth in this, nor a shadow of ground for the accusa tion. The following are the facts:—Mr. Abel Moysey had ceased to be Deputy before the death of Mr. Steele. Mr. Vincent has been appointed to succeed Mr. Steele without any Deputy ; he consequently executes the duties of the employment in person. His appointment is only provisional, and for the purpose of carry ing on the duties of the office (which could not without the greatest inconvenience to the Court of Exchequer be suspended) until a new arrange ment of it can be made, with the advice and as sistance of the Chancellor and Barons of the Court, to whom letters have for that purpose been addressed by the Treasury. This ar rangement is therefore made for the conve nience only of the Public, while an l u r es . tigation with a view to a definitive esta blishment of the office, in conformity with the provisions of the Act of Parliament, is going on ; and so far is it from having been framed with any view to the interest or ad vantage of Mr. Vincent, that no salary is assigned to him for the discharge of this temporary duty, and he is directed to carry to the account of the Public the fees which may be receivable in his office while he remains in the possession of it.— The simple statement of these facts renders all farther comment upon the malignant article of the Times quite superfluous. We here see a proceed ing which has been made the ground of a most unworthy imputation upon the Treasury, prov ing, upon inquiry, to be founded upon a just soli citude on the part of Lord Liverpool and the other Members of that Board, to carry into effect the intentions of the Legislature in the fullest manner, and after the most careful and anxious inquiry as to the best mode of doing it. [MORNING HERALD.] The speeches of Mr. Flume and liuskisson re specting the restraints of law upon the emigra tion of artisans and the export of machinery, must be read with great interest, particularly when viewed in conjunction with each other. So general a coincidence of ideas upon questions of vast importance, both in principle and prac tice, has rarely been observed between parties who may be regarded—the ono to the other, as Parliamentary antipodes. This, however, is but the continuance of a change of ideas, which has been silently but rapidly progressive ' within a few years. The changes of opinion and legislation have been so great within a short period, that they may be called great revolu tions in thought. The discussions on bullion, currency, and exchanges—the theories of the Bullion Committee and the Reviewers,—if, indeed, these two latter were not identical, — are within the knowledge of the present ge neration, and at no distant retrospect. What a mass here of idle investigation and exploded theory ! Even the much more recent discus sions raised for and against the Bill introduced by Mr. Peel, and which bears his name, when brought in close comparison with experience and facts, exhibit a half-ludicrous, half-mournful example of presumptuous theory and stultified prediction. The late Member for Portarling• ton, with all his phiosophicul discipline and his natural acuteness—the farmsr of Botley, with his strong sense, sagacity, and intuitive per ception of truth in each particular, without calling in to his aid abstract principles or in duction—have both been wide of the mark—the one in his syllogisms, the other in his predictions. The Orders in Council, or rather the debates on them, would furnish also an ample and edifying field for studying the fallibility of human judg ment. His Majesty's Ministers would find them selves sadly straitened were they constrained now to the general principles which they so confidently delivered then. But the greatest and most import. ant change, perhaps, is that respecting the Naviga tion Laws, which had so long been regarded as the source of the prosperity and power of the kingdom. Since this system has been recently broken in upon, and the principle abandoned, almost un observed—or observed only by those immediately interested—it may be worth while to mention a late occurrence in Dublin, which is a curious phe nomenon in its way. A large portion of the mer chants of that city memorialised the Irish Govern ment for the removal of certain restrictive Import Duties which a few years before were regarded as vital, and essential to the interests of any thieg like trade in Ireland, and the removal of which would be treated as ruinous, and even frantic. 'The objects to which Mr. Hume's motion applies will prove most important additions in this pro gressive system of change. And from the recep tion of his motion, it appears quite certain that his views will be mainly carried into effect—that is, that artisans w ill b e a ll owe d to em i gra t e f ree l y —that the Exp or t o f E ng li s h machinery will b e allowed freely, and that the laws against combin ation of working artisans will be repealed. It i s not very long since the prosperity—the very ex istence of English manufacture, would have been regarded as depending-, not upon all, but upon any of these legislative enactments. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Fsß. 13. The LORD CinEr JUSTICE sat at Prius for the trial of common jury causes, none of which had the slightest interest. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEE. 13. SINES v. THE SHERIFF OF SURREY AliD OTHERS. This was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff, Eli zabeth E. Simes, against the defendants, to recover 60/., the value of certain music sold by them under an execution against the plaintiff's father. It was proved on behalf of the plaintifF, that she had frequently purchased quantities of music from various music -sellers, both for ready money and on credit; and that her name appeared in a conspicuous part of the shop in 'Camberwell, where the execution was levied, as " teacher of music, and music-seller and publisher." And her mother swore in the shop was carried on by, and po ndb s e i l t o iv n e g l e y d t e h x a e t l t u h s e ive b l u y s , in t :a t s he plaintiff, the father having no property whatever in the same. This witness, however, on her cross-examination, admitted that they had been in dis tressed circumstances when they were formerly residing at Fir- 1 tree-cottage ; and that upon her return from the Continent, where she had accompanied her daughter, who went there for improvement in her profession, she (the mother) had been for some time living apart from her husband. It was urged in the defence, that th e mu sic in questio n was really the property of the father, the daughter's name having been only used colourably. When the execution was first put in, it appeared that the plaintiff served the defendants with notice that the goods distrained were hers, and that if they did not immediately withdraw the execution from " her house," , she would commence an action for trespass against them. The house, however, turned out to be th e f a th er ' s , an d o f a ll th e property dist ra i ne d, the music alon e was now c l a i me d b y t h e daughter. It had been sold at the auction for 71., although it me of t h e sa l e. was here valued at 601. The Lord Chief-Justice Guroim left it to the Jury to say whether the plaintiff had a bona fide or a mere courable pro pwearst y thei n realthe music inf o value The Jury, after having retired for some ti me , re t u rned with a verdict for th e pl a intiff, damages 401. it question; a t the d and if the former, then what CONSISTORY COURT, FEB. 13. The Court was occupied all day in hearing objections to ex ceptive allegations, &c., and in hearing an argument in an un defined cause of separation and divorce, by reason of adultery and cruelty, promoted by the wife against the husband. The Judge deferred sentence ; and no business of any public inte est was transacted, excepting that in THE, JUDGE'S OFFICE, PROMOTED BY BURROWES ♦ND ADAMS AGAINST THE REV. GEORAE SOMERS CLARKIN, DJ) Dr. SWABEY and Dr. LUSHINGTON applied for a sentence of sequestration, as of the rents and profits of the living of Great Waltham, in Essex, and as against tiv Reverend de fendant. Our readers will remember that the Judge's Office was promoted against this unfortunate gentleman for brawling in church, for refusing to read prayers, or to allow the bells to be tolled at the usual hours, and other irregularities. The Court pronounced the articles, with the exception of three of them, to be proved, and condemned the doctor in costs. These costs having been taxed at 2351. ils. 9d., the Court had decreed its monition, on a former day; which monition was subsequently served upon Dr. Clarke personally. But he having refused to comply with the terms of the process (the Learned Counsel ob served), and the gentleman who had been appointed with a cer tain stipend, by the Bishop of London, as officiating curate for the service of the cure during the continuance of Dr. Clarke's suspension, not having been paid six months' duty, the Court was now prayed to issue a sequestration, directed to the church wardens of Great Waltham. in order to provide for the support of the officiating minister, •he service of the cure, and payment of the sutra of 2351. 118. 9d. tax Al costs. Sir C. ROBINSON IVl3s7lSiled as to the Court's compe tency to sequester, upon non-compliance with its monition for the payment of costs : but it doubted how far the same prin ciple would apply as to the service of the church. Dr. Clarke had been already pronounced in contempt; and had suffered the assignation to be continued from court-day to court-day. And though the term of his suspension was near expiring, the Court felt no doubt that it might continue that suspension on account of the unpaid costs. But could it continue to suspend for the unperformed service of the church ? Dr. LUSIIINGTON argued at some length that Dr. Clarke, being an ecclesiastical person, could be so proceeded against in both cases. The COURT said it would take time to consider its opinion. Cuaious Disco VERY.--In a wood near Battle, a singular discovery was made last week. In excavating the ground to drain a swamp, about three feet from the surface, an arched vault was found, about ninety feet in length, three feet and a half in width, and in depth six feet six inches. It was full of water when discovered, but that hes been drawn off. It is paved with flag stone, and is supposed to be of some anti quity. Many persons at this place have expressed a determi nation of shortly visiting the spot ;, , it is likely, therefore, that a few more particulars relative to it may reach us at no very distant day. THE POTATO. I am now going to offer some remarks on what is likely to be generally uppermost in the mind of an Irishman, as affording subsistence, not only to men, women, and children, but also to all those live appendages, pigs, dogs, horses, cattle, and poultry—the potato. If you should happen to be disposed to conjectural anticipation, you will perhaps think that I mean to propose, what national gratitude ought to have done long since, the erection of a statute to Sir Walter Raleigh by whom the potato was first brought to this country and presented to a Nobleman, right wor thy of being the dispenser of natural benefits, Richard, the first Earl of Cork. But no, I have no such intention. I question whether any important advantage was in the contemplation of the donor ; and moreover, I doubt whether the culture would have been recommended by either of those great men, had they been able to predict the future and remote consequences of the gift. The great Earl of Cork, (as he is commonly called), the munificent founder of many towns, as well as of an illustrious race, to whom the county of Cork has never ceased to owe those obligations which the rare union of virtue and ability so happily enables their possessor to bestow, certainly con templated a different sort of subsistence than po. tato diet for his numerous tenantry. Could his Lordship have foreseen that they would be come almost the only food of the people; that they would supplant the use of bread, abolish the arts of culinary preparation, and, by the extreme facility of providing a mere belly ful, promote idleness and vagabondism, and multiply an evergrowing propagation of pau pers, he would, I will venture to affirm, have been the very last man to advise or encourage the culture of potatoes. But let me not be considered as meaning to depreciate so extraordinary and valuable a root. I only lament the excessive use, or rather abuse, of one of the most useful vegetable gifts which the bounteous hand of the Almighty Creator has conferred upon mankind. Used as they are in the Sister Island, as an auxiliary to better food, their worth is in estimable ; but constituting, as they do here, almost the sole food of the lower orders, the effect is as I have stated ; and though the blame be not attributed to the article itself, yet is not the con sequent wretchedness of its consumers the less deplorable.—They are objectionable i n ano th er y pe a rab s n up nd p a ly nc e of a for th e curren t i nt z he on su l y r e e s a p r e ; c t s , o as th l a ) e t favoura ble season will constitute nothing to the relief of a deficient. Hence the superfluity of subsistence among a potato-fed people in any given year, is but a superfluity of waste, which do es not afford the smallest security against a famin e on the en suing year. Every other species of staple food can be held over; and, therefore, for this as well as other reasons, it should be one of the prime objects of all those, whose ability and wishes to promote the interests of the people go hand in hand, to ameliorate their style of living, and ren der them somewhat less dependent upon the fluctuating comforts of the potato system. The last forty or fifty years, so fertile in great events, claim also th e credit, as far as it can be so termed, of extending and generalising the use of the potato. Previous to this period, that vo racious article of subsistence which in several places, like Aaron's rod, has swallowed all the rest, enjoyed but a limited share of popular pre ference. I can myself remember a time when numerous little country mills were at work, of which wily the vestiges now remain, and when oaten bread was the general food of the peo pl e in spring and summer. On days of public work, such as sand-drawing and turf. cutting, &c., when labourers were fed by their employer, potatoes were never thought on, the large table being plentifully furnished with fresh milk and oaten cakes. It was, I think, the casual introduction of the species called the apple potato, remarkable for retaining its firmness and flavour through the entire year, which first induced th e people, in an evil hour, to discontinue the use of oaten bread. Laziness probably con tributed not a little to the substitution of a food requiring only simple boiling, for a better and stronger diet, attended with more labour of prepa ration. But the abridgment of labour which lazi ness procures, only serves to nurse the growth of an evil habit. The time expended in that exer cise of culinary art, which gives additional nourish ment as well as variety to the homely meal, is far from being lost, and may rather be considered as supplying a stimulus to a useful exertion. — Perhaps, indeed, the falling off may be in a great measure ascribed to the evil system of middle landlorship, and land-jobbing, which then began extensively to prevail, and by raising the rent of land to an inordinate degree, left, I am afraid, in too many places, to the laborious occupier, little more than the bare potato. Of one thing there can be no doubt, that the farmers then lived much better than they do now. Inhabitants were comparatively few, and consequently farms, of which the rents were very low, comparatively large. To the extraordinary rapid increase of population, may certainly be ascribed a large portion of that pauperism to which other causes were also contributory.—(Muckwood's Magazine.) The rope-spinners in this town have lately re ceived several foreign orders, and they are at present thronger and in better spirits than they have been at any time since the termination of the war. At a meeting of the journeymen, held last night, it was resolved to intimate to the mas ters their determination to have their wages ad vanced from 15s. to 18s. a week.—(Glasgow Chronicle.) DREADFUL ACCT DENT.—Yesterday afternoon an Inquest was held at the Three Compasses, New-cut, Lam beth, before Mr. J>rarMETT, Coroner for Surrey, on the body of Mrs. Catharine Davis, wife of Mr. Davis, landlord of the Spanish Patriot Public-house, in the New-cut.—lt appeared froth the evidence that she was burned to death in consequence of her clothes catching tire.—The Jury proceeded to view the body, which presented a most horrid spectacle, there being scarcely any part of it but what was so burned as to bear the appearance of scorched parchment.—The Jury returned a ver dict—" That the deceased came to her death by being acci dentally burnt." SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE. About seven or eight months since, two large [ cases were delivered at the Custom-house, from on board a Dutch lugger, consigned to the care of a mercantile house in the City, and addressed to a gentleman well known in the literary world. On examination those cases were found to contain. a number of paintings, some fossil remains, and a few volumes of rare Dutch books, printed almost immediately after the discovery of the use of types. There were also some coins of Roman and Athenian origin, carefully secured in a small casket of porphyry, and many other articles of vertu, all plainly indicating the same reflne ment of taste which had assisted in the selec tion. The pictures, which exhibited every appear ance of having been long neglected, were, not withstanding, in excellent preservation, the frames alone having suffered from the touch of time, They were aboat forty in number,and were chiefly from the classic pencils of Claude Lorraine, Pous sin, and Titian, with two or three of Rembrandt's happiest efforts. Some cabinet paintings,deposited in a small portfolio, were evidently the production of a female pencil, and were remarkable rather for their elegance and imaginative character than for studied perfection. But the puzzle was,to ascertain from whom or whence they came, or what ma-. tive could have induced the original possessor to part with so inestimable a collection. No in, timation whatever had accompanied them, that might inform the present owner to whose gene rosity he stood indebted for so choice a gift, if such he might conceive it. After minutely exa maining their contents, the cases were again care fully closed, as the Gentleman was rather scru pulous in exhibiting as his own what might be re claimed at some future period by their mysterious owner. Month after month rolled away without affording the least clue to this singular adventure, and the Gentleman at length concluded that it was a piece of pleasantry pat upon him by his; son, who is a Major-General in the British army, and then holding a situation in India : he accord ingly wrote to him on the subject, but the Gene ral, in reply, expresses an equal degree of wonder at the information, and pledges his honour that he knows nothing whatever of the transac-. tion, and concludes by saying, that if his father finds the gift of his unknown friend as the. slightest incumbrance, he shall feel particularlr happy in relieving him from the trouble of its AC*" ceptance, and take all responsibility from hie shoulders. General - further adds, that he remembers, during the Walcheren expedition,. having had an opportunity of rendering a trifling service to a wealthy Flemish merchant, who was at the same time highly grateful, and took hig address both in London and Soinersetshire, where his father's estates are principally situate; but he could never for a moment presume that the Dutch man's gratitude was so unfading as to induce this valuable proof of its existence after the lapse of so many years. The General's fattier, who is an ardent admirer of the arts, begins to relax in hiss scruples, and thinks of new framing and refresh ing such of the pictures as hare suffered front lying by ; and it is expected that the entire w ill be open to the inspection of the cognoscenti and virtuosi ; as soon as the work of resuscitation shalt hare been accomplished. In the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, on Sa turday last, Mr. O'CONNELL obtained a condi tional Order for a Mandamus against the Corp°. ration of Dublin, on the part of RICHARI) GRACE, a Catholic, who required to be admitted. to his Freedom of the Corporation, having served seven years' apprenticeship to a Free Printer. It is recorded in the Lying-in Hospital of Dublin, that a woman was delivered offive chiles dren at a birth.—(illedical Journal.) COAL-MARKET, FEE. 13. Ships at Market.
