THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY i•:ttraets from the Morning Papers, Feb. 7. [NEW TIMES.] • We rejoice to Lind any of our cotemporaries, ptad more especially those from whom in other .r , spects we are compelled to differ, adopting sound and rational principles of political eco -lolly. The Morning Chronicle says, "if large properties are injurious to improvement, small 2.-operties are more so ;" and it illustrates this pDsition very forcibly by the example of France. NrVe have often urged this fact to the considera tion of those who regard the Revolution as a Messing. Whatever else has been its result, the of •property has been carried by it to a pernicious extent, and laws have been in troduced for the express purpose of continuing divisibility for ever. By a comparative statement of the number of proprietors in France and Great Britain, in the year 1818, it appeared that one half of the population of France was composed of proprietors, great or small, and one-sixth of agri- • cultural labourers, and that altogether two-thirds were employed in agriculture ; while in Great Britain and Ireland not more than one-third of the population was employed in agriculture, and less than three -seventeenths were of the class of proprietors and farmers united. But it is in Eng land that the power of capital is chiefly seen ; and we regard it as one of the excellences of our Constitution, that it promotes the accumulation of masses, by which alone the means of general improvement are afforded. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The Church of Ireland was as busy as a Church could be, during the recess, in provoking all classes of the people—but the handful of people, scattered over the face of the country who call themselves its members, and who bear about the same proportion to the rest of the po pulation that the Jews do to the Christians in this country—when we say Jews, we mean real professing Israelites only, not including a pretty numerous body, who, without a valid claim by proper preparation, are classified with them by Mr. Cobbett, and among whom he is oc casionally pleased to rank ourselves. The Catholics in the South and the Presbyterians in the North, comprehending, between them, nearly all the middle and lower classes of Ireland, have been insulted by two Bishops even in their graves, whence a flame has been excited., which may not be very (-fully extinguished. This ex cessive zeal and industry in the good work of persecution on the part of the Church, has had the effect of calling forth a corresponding degree of activity in the house. Motions upon Motions were last night announced, having for object an inquiry into a subject which enters no doubt deeply into the cause of the zeal to which we have alluded, namely, the state of the Tempora liteg, the only subject respecting which Churches dispute now-a-days with much heat. Lord Al thorpe hegan.by giving notice of a motion for an Account of the number or Parishes, and of the Incumbents who reside in their Parishes; and• an Account of the number of acres of Church Land, distinguishing glebe from other lands.— This is -a secret which has hitherto been care fully kept from the knowledge of the Laity.— Mr. Hume gave notice of a motion for Inquiry into the Church Establishment of Ireland with a view to a reduction. Mr. Hume probably thinks that the Clerks in this Establishment may suffer a reduction both in number and amount of emo lument. Sir John Nowport moved for an ac count of the Money levied on Parishes for build ing and repairing Churches, &c, by way of chew ing how enormously the Church -rates had been increased on the people of Ireland. So much for the warfare against the Church this Session. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Chancellor of the Exchequer last night moved that the House resolve itself into a Com mitte of Supply, "pro forma," on Monday next. Sir John Wrottesley asked what taxes the Right Hon. Gentleman intended to reduce ? The Chan cellor of the Exchequer replied, he would detail them fully on Monday, the 23d of this month, in the Committee of Ways and Means. It is but justice to Mr. Robinson to state, that since his accession to office he has shewn an unvary ing disposition to consult the feelings - and wants of the people generally, and to afford every pos sible relief. We believe his intentions to be most upright, honourable, and pure. We do not remember, during his present tenure of high effice, a single ungracious or unpopular act. It must be, and we are sure is, most gratifying to him to release as much of the yet heavy burthens that press on the industry and resources of the country as possible. Th e compromise of the Austrian Loan, and the continuance of peace, will give him the efficient power of reduction.— Peace and economy are the two great measures redeem thi s country. We which will com pl e tely look with much anxiety for the important state ment of the Right Hon. Gentleman on the 23d. Domestic measures of this gratifying description, and a liberal and enlightened foreign policy ac companying them, may make the present Mi nistry as popular as any that ever yet held the reins of power, and secure them the universal confidence and support of the country at large. [THE TIMES.] The Fifth Report of the Committee of the Society for the Improvement of Prison Discipline has been published ;—(see another column of THE Sort)—and we hope that the extracts which we make from thence to-day will serve to excite rather than satisfy curiosity, and introduce the work to all the friends of humanity. We first looked to it with some anxiety, in order to learn whether, as in the case of another society, there were any officers or managers professing to act gratuitously for the charity in one character, and receiving sums of money for services rendered, or said to be rendered, in another ; but there are none such. The part which we have extracted to-day relates to a contested sub- ject—that of tread-mills; and we really and cou 'scientiously think with the report, that, under proper restrictions, the introduction of them, when confined to men chiefly, if not exclusively, must be useful. If every man had learned a trade which he could and would exercise in pri son, it wore best that each should work at his own trade. But many not having learned any trade, and comparatively few trades being prac ticable in a prison, either general idleness must ensue, or some system of machinery like that of the tread-mill, which needs no learning, and can include all, must be introduced. Indeed, we should think a healthy prisoner, though he may not fret grievously and think himself ill-used, would be unconsciously more happy under the labour of the tread-mill, than in a state of stagnation and idle ness : as some men in common life complain heavi ly of the pressure of business, but are yet more miserable out of it. The case of women is diffe rent: all women, speaking generally, have a trade, even w hen they enter the prison—that of the needle—which may also be universally prac tised in a prison. We think, therefore, that whenever work of this kind can be procured for them, or they can find it for themselves, they should not be subjected to the tread wheel. Incorrigibly idle or refractory women may ho shut into it for a time ; but in its appli cation to the female sex, it should rather be used as a prison punishment, than a prison employ ment. The Magistrate also, upon conviction, may have the power, if he see fit, of directly condemning to it. [MORNING POST.] We received last night by express French Papers to the 6th instant. They contain some intelligence from Spain, which though given in one of the Ultra Journals (the Quolidienne) pre sents as unfavourable a view of the state of that country as the most Liberal Papers have been in the habit of doing ; from which it may be in ferred that the force of truth is too great to he repressed ; or that in the expectation of its shortly displaying itself by open acts, it is no longer thought useful to conceal it. The following Royalist statement will show whether the asser tions of the Constitutionalists were exaggerated. " All is still in a state of disorganization, the more deplorable because it awakens criminal hopes amongst the Revolutionists, and leaves in utter helplessness immense numbers of faithful subjects who expected a less unhappy existence from the triumph of good principles, and some compensation for the sacrifices which they had made for the just cause. The Revolutionary party, so prompt at recovering itself, so skilful iii profiting by the negligences or the faults of its adversaries, will speedily avail itself, if due pre cautions be not taken, of the incipient discontents which have already manifested themselves . on se. veral points, and a great conflagration m ight be kindled, more terrrible than the first, for if th e revolutionists regained the p o wer which they ha ve lost, they would not rest sat i s fied s,fie is undouL ted ly d as they did be fore, with half m e asures." 1 true ; but whilst it proves the conviction of the Royalists themselves that the present system of misgovernment must lead to fresh and not very distant convulsions, it pays an unintentional ho mage to the moderation of the Constitutionalists when in possession of the suprenu, power, which is the more valuable as it comes from the very men by whom it had been hitherto denied and calumniated. The article then states that the disbanding of the army which was a proper mea sure in itself, had been executed in such a manner as to do immense evil, no difference having been made between the corps well affected towards the King and those attached to the Constitu tion. Hence the former finding themselves dis carded when they expected rewards, changed their political creed and swelled the ranks of the latter, who formed bands which are branded with the name of robbers, but are in reality Gue rillas. One of 300 men is mentioned as having appeared in the vicinity of Valencia. and Cartha gena under the orders of the brave and active General Torrijos, who certainly would not have accepted its command had it been composed of banditti assembled for no other purpose than plunder and devastation. Of the state of feeling and of the alarm and sanguinary dispositio n of the Government in Madrid, an idea may be formed from the fact, that a man who had cried in the street " Live the Constitution ! may the King die !" was instantly taken up, tried, and hanged. That such a state can last long would be a contradiction to history and to nature. The Dale of Thursday states that the health of the Pope was sufficiently recovered to enable him to pay some attention to public affairs, and to grant audiences to the prelates of his household. [MORNING HERALD.] Mr. Onslow again intends to bring forward his Bill for the repeal of the Usury Laws ; we wish him success. In our opinion those laws are absurd in the extreme. That they have been evaded every body knows, and that in the eva sion of them, the rate of interest paid by the borrower has been much greater than if money had been an unshackled commodity there can be no question. The only people these laws have benefitted have been lawyers. Innumerable actions have been entertained in our Courts since the enactment of these laws, and innu merable have been the cases laid before Counsel for their opinion on these laws. The Law Courts, the Counsel, and Solicitors have been wonderfully benefitted by them, arid therefore we should suppose that Lawyers in general will be averse to the repeal. Money, like every thing else, should be left open for people to do as they please with. Were this the case it would cause many an elderly person to relinquish a trade or profession, touthe management of which l►e was no longer competent, to the benefit of those whu might be more fit for the task. In such case, instead of remaining a partner, and incurring the risk of a partnership merely because he wanted to make a little more interest for his money than lie could in land or other things, he would retire, and leave the greater part of his capital to his son or to his partners, or others wh2,,ehight succeed him, at such a rate of interest as the parties might agree on; and the rate of interest would depend on the character of the parties to whom he might lend 'ln fact, the repeal of these laws would operate as a premium for honour and integrity. At the same time that these laWs were done away with, the Anti-Christian law of arrest should be abolished, for as the removing the impediment to borrowing would increase the number of borrowers, and consequently the number of people liable to be arrested, we would counteract this by doing away with the Law of Arrest altogether ; trade and commerce would then be carried on either on the principle of ready money, or' credit could only be obtained in consequence of a man's re putation for integrity. It is scandalous in a country professing to believe in the doctrines of Jesus Christ, that the law of arrest should remain in force. It is a law totally at variance with the doctrines of the New Testament, and therefore may be called " part and parcel of Anti- Christ." The chief opposers of the Usary Laws will be those who contemplate leaving large possessions to their descendants ; they have always asserted, that if borrowing were easy, every one coming into the possession of an estate would borrow, and thus get rid of his estate easily. There is sortie truth in this. But do not most people so circumstanced now borrow ; and do they not pay more interest for money in raising it by means of annuity, than if they could raise it at once on the principle of a simple contract debt ? There may be individual evil in borrowing. It may enable a man to rid himself of his estate ; but, to the country generally, the passing of an estate from one man to another—from the spendthrift to the careful man, is not detrimental but bene ficial. It is the proper natural punishment in flicted on the prodigal, and the proper reward of the prudent man—it is what Nature design ed, but lawmakers would never let Nature have her own way. As to the power of the Aristocra cy, it would be increased ; for it would be so much the more substantial for lands to be principally in the possession of the thrifty than to be in the possession of the squanderer. But then, probably, it may he said, that the law of entail should also be done away with. We should say yes to such a proposition, and the sooner such an absurd law as that were repealed, the better it would be for the state generally. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. I( From the Liverpool Courier, Feb. 4.) BRAZIL.—A few particulars respecting th e affairs of this country have transpired since our last, which, if they do not assist much in forming an opinion as to the motives of the Prince, throw some light upon the state of feelin g in his dominions. It seems sufficiently clear, that a great hostility to the native Po r tuguese resident in the Brazils, and especially to the European part of the Brazilian army exists among the natives. Nor does this appear to have sprun g from the prejudice of pla ce an d country, but to be wholly political. It shows that strongfears ex i s t, lest the mother-country should a tt e mpt a reconquest ; and that the Eu ro p ea ns arc c on s id ere d . a s enemies within, ready, at a proper season, to favour the enemy without. Against this party the Brazilian press was directed. They, in return, took revenge upon the suppo s ed w riters. The Cortes foolishly took up this quarrel, instead of leaving it to the laws ; the people were strongly excited, principally,it would seem, against th e Eu ropeans, and in f av o ur of the Cortes,and this demonstration ap pears to have decided the Emperor to dissolve the Representa tives, and to assume the g overnment wholly into his own hands. Seditious and deinocratical designs are charged upon them in the proclamations of the Emperor; and their voting their sitting permanent, though in a moment of exasperation, gives' to the assembly very much of the air of turbulence, and indicates that it would not have required much effort among its principal members to be persuaded to declare an open resistance to the Sovereign. Still, however, the proof of it democratic intention is a very slender one. This very measure might be one Of pas sion, rather than l betterof deliberate explanation, design and abiding principle ; or, what is a silit might be the result of a t belief that the Emperor was eng age d in designs to betray the country to Portugal, rather than of any purpose to felter the Executive in the exercise of its legitimate authority. If the latter was the impression, the pretences set up in the proclama tion are unfounded, an d the whole affair may be considered as giving additional countenance to the opinion, that the Emperor is true to Portugal, but treacherous to Brazil. From the pro clamation itse lf we ma y, ind eed, gather, that rumpus of this lindwerec small ommo degree, spread, and commonly admitted, and tended, in no egree, to agitate the public mind ; and they have r efuted by the Emperor's openly espousing the u Europeans and the European part of ee c a satisfactorily s e of the the army. Whether the native Brazilians will succumb to this faction is, however, a problem not yet solved. The country has I reached another crisis. If the late measures be followed by of the European interest, may b success, i d t e h r e e d as Emperor,ho holding n a g t t t h h e e h e e o a u d ntry for Portugal ; if not, we see not how the Brazilians themselves can triumph without in volviin, the Emperor in the fate of th e f act i on f or w hi c h h e h a s declated himself. We regard his conduct as at best very ill ad vised, for he has placed the people between the alterations of e consider it and have much reason , republicanism, and roy a lty and restoration to o independence Portugal. andso they seem onsidtofor it. His wisest course would have been to have reduced the power of the Europeans, and to have built his throne on Bra zilian felling and Brazilian interest. THE M O ROI:It OF MUS. DO NATTY .—A Morn ing Paper of y e sterday h a d a l ong s t atement, from tnhich it would a ppear that disclosures had lately been made of su c h a nature as to render it probable that the m urderers, even at t hi s dis tance of time, would be brought to justice. This, however, like many other stories upon the same subject, has, upon investigation at Bow-street Office, fallen to the ground, and the chance of detecting the perpetrators of this atrocious deed is as distant as ever. The only foundation for the report was an old woman's story not worthy of the slightest attention. MAIDSTONE, FEB. s.—Our town was thrown into a state of alarm and confusion last evening, about six o'clock, by a large party of the lower orders, accompanied by a great concourse of the watermen who are employed in the vessels trad ing to and from the town, parading the streets with fagots and torches, together with a large effigy of a man named Pybus, who had by some means or other incurred the hostility of the poorer inhabitants during the time he filled the office of overseer. These fellows having paraded through the principal streets, proceeded to the Fai rfield with the intention of destroying their Guy Faux; but they were frustrated by the appearance of the Mayor, who, together with the whole posse somitatis, succeeded, after a violent though ineffec tual resistance on the part of the mob, in plunging the said effigy of Mr. Py bus into the river:llNi way, where, with half a dozen large stones tied round its neck, it sunk to rise no more. A number of the inhabitants, who were charged by the police to aid and assist, received severe contusions on various parts of their body ; and one man re ceived so severe a blow in the stomach, that he was conveyed home in a state of insensibility.— Six of the ringleaders were secured and sent under an escort to the town prison. Every credit is due to Mr. Tassall, the Mayor, for the promp titude and alacrity with which he acted to quell the riot, as he left a bed of sickness to attend to his magisterial duties. SNUFF AND SECARS. BAD EFFECTS OF TAKING SNUFF AND SMOKING SEGARS. Mr. EARLS, in a communication to the Medico- Chirurgical Society, states, that he has met with cases of irritable thickening of the upper lip, ap. proaching the character of incipient cancer, which were evidently occasioned by thc habitual use of snuff. This experienced and observant surgeon " once saw a corroding ulcer of the upper lip with surrounding hardness, in an elderly gentle man." It having been declared to be of a can cerous nature, it created great alarm in the mind of the patient. The total abandonment of the practice of taking snuff, and the adoption of mild applications and plugging up the nostrils, to pre vent the descent of any irritating discharge, soon altered the character of the complaint, which ter minated favourably, without any operation. One of Napoleon's physicians attributed the organic disease of the stomach, which terminated his life, to the anodyne effects of snuff, for, says he, more than three parts of the snuff, snuffed up the nostrils, pass into the stomach. In cases of irritative ulcerations of the nostrils, resembling cancer, the use of common snuff (simple tobacco powder) has been recommended, to keep down irritation, and in some instances it has proved beneficial ; Mr. Earle however, attributes the baneful effects of snuff to its ir ritating effects. Mr. Stanley has communicated to Mr. Earle, a case of pliagedwnic ulcer of each lip, resembling segars. The thickening and ul ceration took place in the parts of the lips with which the segar came in contact. The ulcers were very painful, and a few days after their ap. pearance the absorbent glands under each side of the jaw swelled, became very painful, and the general health much impaired. Various appli cations were made to the sores, but without in fluencing their character. After continuing troublesome for five weeks, they spontaneously healed ; but an irruption over the face and neck followed, which gave way to the blue pill and decoction of sarsaparilla . . Mr. Stanley could give no other explanation of the ulcerations of the lips, thaa by attributing them to the irrita tion of the segar. " Perhaps," says he, " the tobacco acted as a poison to the skin, the suscep tibility of this action being derived from the de bilitated state of the system, the patient having been rendered very weak. by a considerable loss of blood." Thi s is the first time we have heard of loss of blood rendering the system more susceptible of the action of a stimulus, or rendered more liable to irritati on . Struc tural is, no doubt, very f re . b u t it Is also th e c onsequence of a de effect of i rritation lymph in the cell u l ar su b stances or in terstices,s)ht de posit state e stom a c h, to o of f m t a h e absorbents; of h or some o t hence ers c orga nicu kept up by a q t u u r e a n l y deran gement the stimulus, from sluggish c i rcu l at i on and indolent iscodnisimeaosn in people who are in the h a bi t o f smo ki ng, taking snuff, o piates, and malt liquor, the latter of w hi c h, when well hopped, or adulterated with vegetable anodynes, is a powerful sedative or an irritant. With respect to the use of snuff, Pro fessor Cullen states, that he found the stimulat ing ones, when they produced a copious discharge of mucous or serous fluid from the nostrils, to prove very beneficial in cases of head-ache, either nervous or plethoric, pain in the ear, and inflam mation of the eyes. He also supposed that its occasional use might prevent apoplezy and palsy. Morgagni and Van Swieten fancied that a stimu lating snuff, by exciting sneezing, might occasion such a determination of blood to the brain as to occasion apoplexy in a perso n pre-disposed to the disease ; and Dr. Paris, who is of the same opi nion, fancies that it was oil account of this effect of sneezing, that gave rise to the custom in Greece and Italy, of exclaiming, on hearing a person sneeze, cc M a y you live," or " God bless you." The tobacco snuffs, on nervous subjects, not ac customed to their use, often occasion giddiness, head-ache, and nausea, not by stimulating but by their anodyne effects, which effects are gene rally removed by sneezing. In young subjects, where arterial plethora prevails, the vessels of the head become so overloaded by sneezing, as to occasion bleeding at the nose, and even effu sion of the eyes ; but in elderly people, where venous fulness prevails, sneezing evidently un loads the veins and sinuses of the brain, and we have always found it to prove beneficial even during the existence of symptoms of impending apoplexy. There is a great difference between venous and arterial plenitude. In elderly peo ple, the venous system is often so overloaded as to oppress th e h ear t an d ar t er i es, an d the arterial system being in an opposite state, the former is to be relieved by increasing the action of the heart and arteries ; and hence sneezing and vomit ing, although they increase the determination of blood to the head, unload the veins and sinuses, for the circulation of the blood in the veins de- pends on the power of the heart and arteries. If blood be taken from the arterial system when the venous Aystem is overloaded, either by cup ping or by opening an artery, the venous plethora will be increased, and fatal apoplexy has been known to follow both operations in elderly people. The sudden fatal termination of apoplexy, and its occurrence in elderly people, after abstraction of blood, has been noticed by the celebrated Holster. Th• doctrine is too modern for the no tice of Dr. Paris and his learned college bre thren. The cause of the benediction being so generally bestowed on those who sneeze, in Greece and Italy, is not on account of the mis- _ chief it may do in the brain, but because in the _ _ epidemic of both countries it is often the fore- runner of death, and when a patient is afflicted with the epidemic, it being a very unfavourable indication, the bystanders, on hea►ding it, exclaim, " May you live," or " God bless you." In the typhus fever of this country, even when the brain is apparently overloaded, sneezing is a very fa vourable indication. When the editor suffers from an overloaded state of the blood -vessels of the brain, o which he is subject, he always takes a pinch of camphorated asarabacca powder, and when it excites sneez i ng it never fails to afford immediate relief, the circulatiottin the extremi- ties and the action of the skin being evid ent l y increased by it s and even the distended veins of the extremities reduced to their natural size. The operation of sneezing, he is persuaded, equa lizes the circulation, and promotes the secretioa of the skin. The use of an anodyne snuff, as that of tobacco, by diminishing nervous energy or ar terial action, will occasion venomous plenitude of the brain ; and this is a common effect of com mon snuff, when it does not produce sneez ing and a secretion from the nostrils. The cephalic snuff, generally sold in this country, be-. ing only common tobacco snuff, perfumed with ]he oil of lavender, rosemary, &c. is equally ob jectionable. The venous congestion which pre vails in the typhus fever, particularly noticed by Dr. Armstrong, indicates more the use of tonic medicines than the lancet. The circulation of blood in the veins as much depends on the action of the heart as that of the arteries, and when the veins are overloaded the heart will be proportion ably oppressed, and hence blood taken from a vein will raise the pulse. In such cases, the state of pulse affords no indication as to the propriety of bleeding, for after an abstraction of blood, its cases of venous congestion, it will become fuller and stronger. If blood be abstracted by leeches i or by cupping, the pulse will become feeble, and the general strength of the patient more reduced ; because the blood thus abstracted will be more from the arteriat than the venou s~ system. After unloading the venous system, tonic and cordial medicines are often necessary to restore the equilibrium of the circulation and hence the practice of bleeding and ex hibiting cordial or tonic medicines at the same time is not " inconsistent," as a certain phar macological quack, of the class of legitimate physicians, from his ignorance of the principle on which they were adopted, asserts.—(Gazette of Health.) Lord BYRON and the Honourable LucEsTEst. STANHOPE were recently at Zante, on a visit to that gallant young officer, Sir FREDERICK SToTIN, the Governor. These travellers were then most sanguine in their hopes for the ultimate success of the cause of the Greeks. Nottwrcn, FEB. 4.--The curiosity excited by the discovery of the vaults by St. Giles's gates, seems not in the least abated : during the last fortnight great numbers have threaded though this subterraneous labyrinth, among whom were some of the most distinguished. families of this city and county. Many of ia E those gentlem en w h o are f on d of culling the re lics of the anci en t wor ld, h ave amused themselves' in this re t rea t f or t h ree an d four hours together, and ind ee d to suc h v i rtuos i it affords a rich treat.

One individual, named Thomas Foresides, is at the advanced age of 103, and has full possession of his faculties, can converse with vivacity, take his grog, or crack a joke with any veteran in the Establishment. There are a considerable number from the age of 60 to 96 and 97, all in good health. His Royal Highness the Duke of York visited the Establish ment a few days ago to inspect the place, when the whole of the Pensioners were assembled to• gether and gave his Royal Highness three hearty cheers on his entrance. FORESIDES was pointed out to the Royal visitor as an extrordinary in stance of longevity, when he recounted the vari ous engagements he had been in during his long service, and his Royal Highness seemed highly delighted with his conversation and demeanour, and presented him with a donation, which the old man thankfully received. His Royal High ness soon quitted the place, when his health was drank with enthusiasm, and " God save the King and Royal Family" were the ruling toasts. COAL-MARKET, FEB. 6. Ships at Nlarket.
