LONDON JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [Morning Herald.] .\Ve have been given to understand that a warm and pointed conversation took place, a few even ino since, al Brookes's, between a distinguished Member of the Opposition, and a Noble Peer, the result of which tended to confirm the report that the Hon. Gentleman alluded to, purposes, at no great interval, to take his seat on the Ministerial side of the House. It has been reported that Alderman Wood had left toun Faoce In order to join the Queen on tire retort, to - ibis country. We believe thAt it the wor. by Alderman has really set out for the Confittent, Le Id b , ,with no inteution lit meeting h. r Ni-jesty, whose return (we wo'illd observe ea passant) is involved iu all its uncertainty, with this difference, that public curiosity is by this time near ..ut wholly worn out on the sub- Another repoit is that Mr. Alderman Wood set out front motives connected with the cud,' (A public justice.—(Mid ) In addition to this dec'sive step it is'stated, that all the troops who_had intfilled their period of ser-• vice had'been disbanded. Full two-thirds of the expeditionary army were in this predicament.--=A letter from Angostura, dated March 7th, men tions an event which, however horrible, is but too .liaracteristic.of the exterminating mode of war fare carried- on between the Royalists and Inde pendents- on the Spanish Main. On the 11th of February a party of Spaniards entered the town 01 Santa-Barbara, and as there was no previous intimation of their approcti, the place was com pletely taken by surprise. Their object - appears to have beeh the eaptiire of a British Of Beer of rank in the service of the Republic of Venezuela, who hail divinguished himself in the openitions against the Royalists, as their first step was to sorround - rhe house in which he had resided, and where he. had been previoudy Confined for a long pet - hal - by indisposition.. Fortunately he had been removed but a few days before to head-quarter. at Mattlrin. The Spaniards then proceeded to the hospital, where they found 25 sick men of the British Legion, .and a Lieutenant Pointer, of , he same corps, whom, with the Commandant, anti all the men of the town, they put to death in the square, by cutting their throats. On retiring they carried off with them the greater part of the women. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [From the Chester Courant, May 23•] PARLIAMENTARY DI6CUSSIONS.-The discussion which is appointed for Friday next, upon the mo• !ion of the Marquis of LANsDowN, fora Com mittee to inquire into the practicability of extend ing our foreien Trade, will probably b.e the,most important and interesting of any one during the roesent Session of Parliament, The Earl of LI VEEPOOL has announced his Intention of taking that opportimity to enter into a comprehensive view of the aetnalcowtiti;)n of the country, in its manufacturing, agricultural, and commercial relations. How such a topic will be treated by tbe Noble Earl may easily b r anticipated. The motion, also, being' brought forward with the concurrence of Ministers, the Committee will, of couisC, be Onted ; - and. as the Noble Marquis has judiciously confined the proposed inquiry to, one definite object, the information that will be obtained will doubtless tend to eincidate that very important question. It will neeessatilretakace. the doctrines so temperately urged in the City Pe tition,- presented by Mr. Baring, and ascertain how far our present systetn of probibitoty and protecting dirties operates injuriously upon our foreign Trade, ns well as the degree of relaxation in that s'ystenr4liich may safely be adopted. We cannot, however, hut deprecate the attempt Which seems to be making, of exciting'a. sort of angry rivalship between the agricultural,• the calmer cial, and the manufacturing interests of the coon try. It they are to run a race for relief, and to seek their objects upon separate claims, they will either mutually obstruct each other, or win a bar. ren.triumph. The merchant cannot be exclusively prOteefd ; v the farmer cannot be exclusiely pro, tected ; ~ the manufacturer cannot be exclusively protected. 'Die prosperity of the whole depend. .upon the co-ordinate prosperity of the parts.— This principle has, perhaps, been too much ne glected hitherto in our legislative enactments; we have too often listened to individual representa tions, and passed latvs to protect insulated por tions of the national industry, Whether we can now extricate our Selves from this piecemeal sys tem of . legi;lation, is extremely doubtfol. But we can, at•least, avoid a repetition of the error, and, in whatever-we entity do, act upon general and comprehensive views of the subject. Dust.,- 7 -A.theetiug took place, early yesterday morning, in a field on the verge Of Kenniniton .Comintin, between' K. D. s sporting.genileman from the North ol.EngLnd, and P. S. \V—r -,!•e, L K! . n citizen, The iltspire which l:(1 to the meeting originated in a bet re sprcting Pindarrie and The Sailnr, , forthe'Derby., The first tire was ineffectual, but - in tbe•second Mr. C. was wounded severely in the upper.part of the hip; the ball, .however, fortunately did,' not lodge. GReAT SHOOTING.—At tlie.second..meeting the Midgbam Pigeon Club, on Monday, no less than 110 birds were killed in 102 shotsfr Four of the members killed upon the average 19 birds from 21. The gentleman who is the best shot in the Club killed but 16 from 21, whilst an ordinary shot killed 24 in succession. Mr. Thorpe won the silver cup and cover in shooting 'off the tie of 19 with Mr. Waddington. SUICIDES.—Two most extraordinary acts of suicide were committed last Tuesday morning, in Union-street, Somerstown, by two men whit lived neighbours together in that street, and Who were in habits of rite greatest intimacy. John Ayliffe, a 'respectable inhabitant of that street, sixty years of age, after breakfasting with his wife and family in good health and spirit's, got Up from table, saying he had some business up stairs, and would be down shortly;' but remaining too long, and a pet son coming in who wanted him on busi ness, his daughter went up to call him, and on entering his bed-room, she found him suspended front the iron rod of the bed-testerY quite dead.— At% the saute time,. an alarm was given that his Arthur.Boxhall, a butcher ; residing in the same street, was discovered banging by rope from an iron book in the stun:pact i.house, quite dead. , . • . PRICE SEVNT'Nf FOR THE SUN. TIMBER TRADE. MR. EDlTOR—Perceiving that yon have joined in the general rept : ehension of the attempt which has recenay been made (inconsiderately 1 k.,pe) to divert the Timber Trade from the British North American Colonies, I Dave no doubt that you will wi!lingly place the following facts before the Readers of THE Su Y:— • In the last year, the Shipping which cleared out from Grey Britain to Norway amouut,d to British ships Foreign Ditto , 64,305 Sweden— , British Ships Foreign Ditto You perceive, therefofe, that the liutish ping employed in this Trade, amounted to dilly 18,827T0n5, whilst the Foreign Shipping unwont ed to 81,740 'funs. I will now spew you the state of the Canada Tons. The Tonnage cleared out from Great Britain in the - last year, to part, beyond the sea, amounted to 2,254,937 Of this Tonnage, cleared fur frelanth 795,495 Jsk of Man • Guernsey ... 01,909 Jersey Aiderney 22,280 857,723 Leaving . of which, cleared for the British Coloi , ies in NorthAinerica, 34 - 0,537 Tons ; being neArly one fourth of the witule Foreign carrying Trade of Great Britain. Is it then to be credited that, under such cir cianstances, any E , glishtnan should he found to advise or sanction the lopping off the greeter pare of this branch of our Trade, in o'rder that it may be triinsferred to Foreign Countries ; that. as-they can now get their supplies cheaper, will : no .longer take our Colonial Produce, which once formed the great bulk of our Expors, and who Would only require one-third pare of the Tonnage to carry it on to the same extent, and who em• ploy neatly. three Foreign to one British .Ship A SHIP OWNER. FAIRS in the VICINITY of the METROPOLIS: The public attention having been Mitch e x cited by the alArming increase of juvenile delinquents,, it is to be hoped that the present Session of Parliament may not be soffered ro expire without some . steps being taken by the Legislature to put down, or regulate, the numerous Fairs 1114( are held for days, every year, in the iminediate vi cinity of the Metropolis. It appears, froM the Report of the Committee on the Police of the Metropolis, that those Fairs continue for no less a period than 82 days in the space of seven months; doting whiA time, as is truly stated in the Re'. port of the Society for the iteJormatiou at Juve nile OffenderS, " every species of debauchery and profligacy is encouraged and 'promo-tett; gambling, drunkenness, seducttoo, and all the train of vices necessarily concomitant with unrestrained licentionsness." Those only who live in the neighbonihood of the pl'aces where such fairs are held, and have hail. the opportunity of observing the' crowds of young persons, of both sexes, who throng there between the hours of eight and twelve at night, Can torn correct idea of the dreadful consequences that (mist of necessity ensue to the Mk, ,h e .0„;, , , g h,„ less, and unsuspecting, froth Visiting 81 0' li censed nurseries for depravity. " All ihe'efforts of the 'Magistracy, to suppress. the licentious ness which always prevails, have been utteily unsuccessful, and the mischief at present arising ftoni them - can only he t natty prevented by an entire abolition." Until the Legislature .siialt think fit to interpose its authority, it becomes un doubttidly the duty of those who are appointed Js' Magistrates to watch 'over and preserke the peace of this and the adjoining counties, , to adopt such "measures for terminating the sports and amusements of such places at an early hour of the night, and thus prevent the Moral min of manyof those who would tithe, wise be uncon taminated. • CLERGY ORPHAN CORPOBATIoN --The- half yearly Public Examinantio the Children irr the Two Schools, of this Corporation look phi'ae on Monday last at the bChOOI House, Saint John's Wool, -Mary-le-bone his Grace the Arehbishop Of CAN'iERRUIZY presided on the occasion ; ..there were also present the Bishops of Ely, Exeter, Llandaff, and-Sali:-.bury, Lords Kenyon. and De Dunstativille; Gird ti.ntanerous assemblage ol La dies and Gentlemen of Distinctioo —The:Cnil drcn weiit'throuli every part of their examina tion sdth the greatest preciseness and, accuracy, and highly to the satisfaction of his Grace ii~td all present, who expressed their approbation in the 'most unqualified ternis.

[Morning Post] After a lapse oy upwaids of three months, we are sorp;i.ed to find an attempt made to revive the r. poi' of Ihe existence lit such serioos diffe rences between his Majesty and his Ministers, ur,on a certain delicate subject, as to have ChtlSLd the latter to resign their situations. It is trite, as we stated at the time, that a moire , had been indiscreetly s,ibinitted to his Majesty from an unauthorised quarter, which a• fii•t appear , ed fe a sibl e , b.): which, upon a -full disco4inn by ihe authorised Advisers of th e C ! , )wn , was decided upon as inadmissible ; and that upon a sob . jet!' necessarily inv n liiug Many comilicated consi derations ‘,l: . expediency, an„ and law; his Majesty acquiesced in the opining of his.

Inventions of this - description are neither new nor uncommon; but in tne present instance, they serve to discover the wish alit' the impotency (it [heir authors. With regard to the unfortunate subject on which this rumour was originated, we tear, trout the disposition manifested in certain quarters, that however great our reluctance, eve may hereafter have much . to say opotiit. it is , sincerely to be lamented, that the country should . be agitated upon a question which the Crown anti Pariainent had t.tketi every means in their power to settle and compose. Certainly nothing' has passed .on this side of the water to disturb it. Would to God we could say as much as to What has passed on the other side of the Chan nel ! But unfortunately this proves not to be the case. In every proceeding consequent upon •the line of conduct which certain - persons seem now inclined to pursue, we are however itersuaded the utmost caution and moderaron wilt be observed on the other side ; ao that the whole object will . he to uphold the Sovereign WV liority and Majesty at the chro , ,e its just rights and dignities, and io prevent as much postiole all indecorous dis cussion of painful pioductiao of evidence upon a sohject which we swill hope and trust will not be forced upon the consideration of the Public. [New Tinies-.] ‘Ve have received Papers from Sierra Leone to the end of March. The following from The . Royal Gazette of the 18th : " Freetown, March 18, 1820. " In the course of last . week a - Spanish. slave schooner was brought her e, a prize to his jesty's ship Tartar, left in chase of two French t.ehooners. The decisive measures adopted by Sir George Collier, of convoying all Spanish vessels (acting contrary to the Royal_ ordinance of Spain, by rturchasiug their cargo of slaves on the coast' north of the Line) to the south of the Line, will, .it is fervently hoped, be a death-blow to the mis creants now swarming sspon coast ; two or three were observed to be under. his convoy when the _French schooner La Catherine parted from the Tartar. We understand it is the Commo dore's intention to send all French slavers to-Se negal, and Spaniards slaving twills of the Line to the Havannah, to be proceeded against according to the laws of their respective countries !-- . -The audacity of the slaver is'somethiog extraordinary. la the Sherbro, a Spaniard (Slaving) has sought protection, and having either accidentally or con veniently unshipped his rudder, he there waits the completion of his cargo, two hundred and forty slaves ! The purchase-money has been paid.— This day, Captain Leake or the -Myrmidon, and Lieutenant R. Hagan of the Thistle, sailed on a ernize. We bear that Captain Leake, who has under his convoy the French slave schooners La Marie and La Catherine, proposes to deliver them both to the French authorities at Gotee and Senegal." • [The Times.] The complete abandonment of the Expedition prepared at Cadiz against South America is at length annotinced in letters from that city of the ,2d inst. The greater part of the trauFports char tered in France and in this Country for thC con veyance of the troops bad already received their certificates of oliseharge, and the remainder were to receiie them as fast as they could be unloaded.
