THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY • Extraets from the Morning Papers, April 13. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Alien Bill, _last night, on the motion of Mr. Peel, who moved the Order of the Day for the third reading, was carried, on a division, by a large majority. It was opposed by Mr. Len nard, Mr. Leycester, and Colonel Palmer. Mr. Penman, on the question being put from the Chair, rose and spoke at considerable length against it. His speech possessed little nevelty'or effect ; it was, in fact, only a repetition of a few of the many arguments that had previously been much more powerfully put against this Bill on former occasions. The lion. Gentleman, at the .close of his address, moved an amendment, limit ing the duration of the Act to one year in pla ce of two, which a large majority also negatived on a division. Mr. Hutchinson did not speak, though on a previois night he announced his in .tention to de lk , er his sentiments, in opposition to Mr. Canning's eloquent speech, at length against th e Bill. We believe he was unfortunately ill, and in consequence absent from the debate. NVe trust the renewal of this measure will not agai❑ he necessary, and that our own situation and that of the Continent will be such as-to render .an enactment of this sort .wholly uncalled for, when it once more expires. Shoals of foreigners should not be crowded on our shores without some restraints beyond those that affect the na tural born subjects of the empire : the country should be protected from the machinations of those that may be dangerous amongst them ; but the present Bill is arbitrary and des potic in its enactments ; and, though leni ently exercised at present, it may be made an instrument of severe oppression in other hands. Ministers are now pursuing a most liberal and enlightened career ; their administration is one . alike .honourable to themselves and to the coun try ; but it is possible that the power they ex ercised so tolerantly may part their keeping,and tNough we see no likelihood of any such change, arbitrary laws should not be put upon the statute hook, merely on the faith of high character in those to whom the exercise is committed. One important alteration, however, much to the ho nour of Ministers, has been made in this Act, and it has disarmed it of its worst severity.— Several thousand industrious and peaceable foreigners, long resident in the country, are in consequence wholly exempted from its provi sions, and its other clauses are comparatively tin. objectionable. Its future composition will pro bably be of even a much milder character, making it a law of only just and salutary re straint to foreigners, and of fair protection to the people of this great and rising country. [NEW TtmEs.] We have received the Etoile dated Sunday. I t contradicts the departure of the French troops from ,Madrid, which had been asserted in some other journals. A fact mentioned in its domestic . news is very remarkable. There are at this mo ment traversing France some Piedmontese de; serters, about 24 in number, who have received passports from the French authorities, and are charitably supported on the road, to find a refuge is another country, their treasons having for evcr .exiled them from their own. These individual s a twelvemonth ago had hoisted the .nicolor Standard in Spain, whence they arrogantly threatened to carry revolution through France, and hurl the French Monarch from his Throne. Now, reduced to the greatest mi sery, they are rescued from starvation by this very Sovereign, and wander as objects of pity through a country which they would have wrapped in flames! The Etoile draws a lament able-picture of the Island of Scios, which before its disasters contained a popula.ion of between 110 and 120,000 inhabitants, and has now only 15 or 16,000. Some of the Sciote exiles endea voured to previll on the inhabitants of I psara to make a descent on the former Island, in the hope of expelling the Turks ; but the I psariotes de clined engaging in so hazardous an attempt. EMOrINING POST.] We understand that a disposition hes been shewn on the part of many Members of the House of Commons to relieve the Clerks employed in the Government Offices, of a burthen which has pressed particularly hard upon them—an In . come Tax for the Superannuation Fund. It must be recollected that the grievance complained of, wits imposed at a time when the country was oppressed with 'considerable difficulties,—its trad.e, commerce, and agricultural interests suf. feting to an extent , unprecedented, and conse quently, that the necessaries of life were to be purchased at a much lower rate than at present,' —a consideration of the first importance to a fixed and limited income. Happily for the country these difficulties have now vanished,and, whilst we again enjoy its prosperity, we ought not to be unmindful of an act of justice to the public ser vants, nor should we forget the immense saviugs which will accrue to the public from the_ great prospective diminution which has been effected in their Falaries, as well as the important reduc, tion in the number of Clerks employed. The tax.; When first proposed, we considered one of very•great severity, and, for the reasons we have stated, we cannot help wishing the parties inte rested every success in their Petition which is about • to be presented to the House of Commons by Mr. Stuart - Wortley. As the subject seems at present to be.but imperfectly iniderstOod by the Public, We give the following correct statement of the case :-=-Clerks in Public Offices were flit-- merly.allowed superannuation upon the produc tion ,of a medical certificate, urging bodily or mental infirmity, without an abatement having been made fronttheir salaries for, such purpose ; and; under Mr. ilankes's Act, were permitted, if under 60 years of age, and lead served ten years, to :retire on a pension according to a gradUated scale, regulated by length or service. Such scale has alieady,been altered materially to the disad vantage of thase who have not completed thirty Sea t s service. To pay such new scale of penSiOny the Clerks are now taxed severally to the amoun of 21. 10s., 51., up to 101. per cent. ; and this , too, upon salaries fixed by the new establish , ment, which, as compared with the old, operates a general and prospective reduction, on an average of 331. per cent. [MORNING CIIRONICIA.I The 500,0001. grant for building New Churches Came again before the House last night. We had no idea that it would be so popular a mea sure. One hundred and forty-four to thirty ! No wonder that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should pay such high compliments to the wisdom and virtue of the House. We, for our parts, have such a high opinion of both, that we feel grate ful to Mr. Robinson for his moderation in ask ing only 500,0001. We trust, however, he will not confine his provident care to England—Let him remember poor Ireland.—ln whole Dioceses there is hardly a single church, and there is no fund which the Clergy can appropriate for their erection. If Mr. Butterworth find it necessary to vote for New Churches in England to arrest the progress of infidelity, surely he woald find them equally necessary to arrest the progress of Ca tholicism in Ireland. How unreasonable we are in demanding zeal from the Clergy of the Esta blishment, when we will not allow them a place in which they can display it; for, as Mr. Butter worth well knows, the Tithes and Church Lands have nothing to do with the Churches ; the incum bent has merely something to do with them. I f the Tithes of a Parish a mount to 60001. a year, and the Glebe to 5 or 600 arable acres, still if Parlia ment do not build a Church, nothing can be done. This sort of half liberality is very ridiculous. It is as absurd to have clergymen without churches as it is to have churches without clergymen. To have clergymen without churches is like having sailors without ships. A Gentleman who ordered out his gamekeeper to kill game for his table, without allowing him a fowling-piece, would not be more unreasonable than we are in sup posing that the Establishment can be de fended against the three arch enemies of infi delity, Catholicism, and Dissenterism, without possessing the instrument on which its activity is dependent.—lt is very edifying to see so many Members concurring with such different views in supporting Mr. Robinson in his pious endeavour to build new Churches. One Member votes for them because he hates cant, another because he thinks they will induce young men and women to continue the praiseworthy old English practice of passing their time jollity on Sundays—a third, because they will put down infidelity—a fourth, because they will put down Devil Killers (the term is not ours, but an Honourable Member's.) In short, the measure has it attractions for every one—it must be a good one—when the Chan cellor of the Exchequer proposed his liberal measures he was attacked by friends and ene mies ; but he has at last hit on a measure which suits the taste of all but two or three incurable grumblers. [MORNING HERALD.] We were surprised, in the course of the short debate which took place a few dayi since, on the subject of the exclusion of the public from West minster Abbey, to find it asserted by a Member of the Administration, that " the Dean and Chapter had a right to make the charges they did ; and that he knew not how the Executive could interfere." For our own parts, we sub scribe neither to the fact nor the inference.— We do not deny that, technically speaking, die buildings of the Abbey may be vested in the Dean and Chapter, but we contend that they are, to all intents and purposes, so vested in' them as trustees for the public : just as Guildhall, Westminster Hall, the Royal Exchange, the British Museum, and a variety of other public buildings, are held by various bo dies for public purposes. The Abbey differs essentially from every other cathedral in the kingdom, having been invariably, from time im memorial, used and treated as public property. There is no more common test to decide dis puted rights of property in similar e ases than the .question of who has repaired it. We an sWibr, the public ; and after having contributed so largely as we have done only of late years to sustain and beautify the edifice, it is rather ungracious that we should be re-taxed for the mere permission to view our own property under own roof. In fact, it has been uniformly dedicated to public purposes—has been made the receptacle of public property ; and we ap prehend that the Dean and Chapter would have as much right to charge the King for being crowned in it, as they have to deny the public, under proper regulations, the privilege of v i s iting the sepulchres of their Princes, Warriors, and Statesmen. The flimsy pretence that the money (2s. a head) demanded of every one on admit tance, is required or applied to keep the monu ments clean and in order, we cannot quite credit, at least till we see something like an account of the receipts and payments on this head. But even supposing the money to be so applied, and that the Dean and Chapter have no other funds from which it could be taken, we have no hesitation in *asserting that" Parliament would readily relieve them from the expence, if they would forego the ungracious system of ex clusion to which they have of late years resorted. We lament the obstinate adhe rence of the Reverend Body to this system, the more for this reason, that it tends to alienate the affections of the people from the Church, and in creases the obloquy which ill-disposed persons are always inclined to heap upon the Clergy. There is something due to themselves and to their profession upon this occasion, of which we still hope that they may be induced to sec the force and the importance ; but if, unfortunately, that should not be the case, we trust they will he taught that Parliament is all-powerful to do justice, and that there is in this country no wrong without. a remedy. , TI M F.S.] -The abundance of money at this time, and the want of useful objects on which it may be ex-. i)ended—or rather, . we should say, .the want of dispoSition to search for useful objects.--leads very much to the abuse of that powerful instru ment, and to the employment of it to purposes actually injurious to the country. Mr. Canning might well censure the facility with which loans are or might be made on the British Exchange for the most atrocious purposes of despotism, pro vided only good security could be given. But the mischief begins really nearer home ; and it might in justice be complained, not only that money would be supplied from hence for the most criminal foreign purposes on the slightest hope of gain, but that it is also employed here in objects essentially injurious to the community at large. Every paper teems with new projects— projects, be it observed, not for extending our commerce, for perfecting our manufactures, or improving our agriculture, from which the nation would derive benefit—but projects, the tendency of which is "to nourish a species of internal warfare, wherein, as one portion of British subjects cannot gain but the ruin of ano ther, the state will derive no advantage. There is at present a rage for Docks and Dock Companies. Now, if the extension of docks would multiply the number of vessels coming to them, we should say, by all means augment your docks. But has it ever occurred that a homeward-bound vessel wanted room in a secure dock ? The public will have observed in the papers, various accounts of -the new St. Catherine Dock. We believe that in the formation of these, there is both much private misery inflicted, and also, if we are rightly informed, the needless desecration of a sacred place. But these are not the views in which we are at present disposed to consider the subject. On the first mention of the Docks, the dock-shares of other companies sunk. Here, therefore, is British capital making war upon British capital—British subjects destroying each other, and the State is no gainer. Nothing whatever is produced by this conflict ; not a blade of grass, nor a bale of goods. Mr. Canning regretted that Government had no means of pre venting British capitalists from supporting the cause of foreign despotism, from the hope of in terest : but we think that Government might controul the domestic mischief which we here point out. One class of his Majesty's subjects is as dear to him as another; and when any project is on foot of such a character that its success would be a mere transfer of property with Gut augmentation, those who have their capital al ready invested should be protected, both from a feeling of humanity and a sense of justice. FOR THE SUN. FORTITUDE OF THE INDIAN CHARACTER. IFrom ADAIR'S Travels in America.] A party of the Senekah Indians came to war against the Katahba, bitter enemies to each other. In the woods the former discovered a sprightly warrior belonging to the latter, hunting in their usual light dress : on his perceiving them he sprung off for a hollow rock, four miles distant, as they intercepted him from running homewards. He. was so extremely swift and skilful with the gun, as to kill seven of them in the running fight, before they were able to surround and take hi m . They carried him to their country in sad triumph ; but though he had filled th em w i t h uncommon grief and shame, for the loss of so many of their kindred, yet the love of martial virtue induced them to treat him during their long journey with a great deal more civility than if he had acted the part of a coward. The wo men and children, when they met him at the se veral turns, beat him, and whipped him in as severe a manner as the occasion required, and at last he was condemned to die by the fiery tor ture. It might be reasonably imagined, that what he had for some time gone through, would have so impaired his health and affected his ima - - g i nat i on , as to have sent him to his long sleep, out of the way of any more sufferings. Proba bly this might have been the case with the major part of white people under similar circumstances, but I i with any of the Indians; and is c r o brewol.ileti warrior did not deviate t i h eve t d h e i d s from their rough lessons of martial virtue, but acted his part so welt as to surprise and sorely vex enemies,ies. For when they were taking him unpinioned, in th e i r w ild p ara d e , to his numerous tu e 7i i i hi near a river, he t c h h os l e ay who stood in his way, sprung off, nlid plung e d int o th e wa t er , suddenly te Pl place of dashed to r sw;n:ming underneath like an otter, only rising to take breath, till he reached the opposite shore. He now ascended the steep bank, but though he had good reason to he in a hurry, as many of the enemy were in the water, and others running like blo o dh oun d s i n pursuit of him, and the bullets flying around him, yet his heart did not allow him to leave them abruptly, without taking leave in a formal manner, in return for the extra ordinary favours they had done, and in tended to do him. After stripping a part of his body, in defiance of them, he set up the war-whoop, as his last salute, till some more fa vourable opportunity offered, and darted off in the manner of a wild beast broke loose from its torturing enemies.—He continued his speed, so as to run by about midnight of the same day, as far as his eager pursuers wero two days in reach ing. There he rested till he happily discovered five of those Indians who had pursued him :—he lay hid a little way off their camp till they were sound aaleep. Every circumstance of his situa tion occurred to him, and inspired him with he roism. Ile was naked, torn,hungry, and his enrag ed enemies were come up with him ; but there was now every thing to relieve his wants, and a fair opportunity to save his life, and get great ho nour and sweet revenge by cutting them off. Reso lution, a convenient spot, and sudden surprize, would effect the main object of all his fears and hopes. He accordingly crept, took one of their tomahawks and killed them all on the spot.— Clothed himself, took a choice gun, and as much ammunition as he could well carry, in a running march. He set off afresh with a light heart, and did not sleep for several successive nights. As it were by instinct, when he found lie was free from the pursuing enemy, he made directly for the place where he had killed seven of his ene mies. He digged them up—burnt their bodies to ashes, and went home in safety with singular triumph ! COLOMBIAN LOAN. Mr. BAIL-T (of the firm of BAILY and GOLD SMI D) one of the unsuccessful bidders for the new Colombian Loan, read the following statement, which was afterwards posted up in the House : " NEW COLOMBIAN LOAN. " For the information of the subscribers to our list, we think it proper to make the fbllowing statement, and leave them to draw their own conclusions as to the cause of our failure and the consequences that may result therefrom. Wh e n w e fi rs t an nounced our design of forming a list for the above Loan, we wrote to M. RAVENGA, ann ounc i ng our i ntent i on to bi d for it. To this communication no answer was received. Immediately on the arrival of M. HURTADO, we expressed to him also our intention. In reply thereto he stated, that he could not enter into any communication till he had first consulted the three other Commissioners. Not having received any commu nication from any of the parties, we waited on Messrs MON TAIJo and ACRUBLA on Friday, April 2, and, in the pre sence of M. RAVENGA, repeated our intention to bid for the ensuing Loan. These two Commissioners who, we now for the first time understood, were the only persons au thorized to negociate the Loan, informed us that they were not then ready to make or receive any proposals ; but that in the early part of the ensuing week, they would decide whether the Loan should be contracted for by a public or a private bidding ; and that in either case we should have due notice sent to us. Not having heard any thing fur ther on the subject, we, on Thursday last, solicited an interview with them, which was appointed for the following day. The proposals then stated by them were as follows :—A loan for millions sterling, independent of the Bonds issued by M. ZEa, and rscently exchanged by M. IltrrtTARDO; Dividend thereon 6 per cent. per annum, payable half yearly ; the first dividend, however, not to become due till six months after the deposit ; deposit 25 per cent. payable immediately ; second payment 25 per cent. payable at the end of three months,. remaining pay ments 10 per cent. payabl e mont h ly. It was also stated that our bidding must he delivered in on the following day (Saturday, April 10), before five o'clock, as the Commissioners were desi rous of sending off the result of their negociation, by the mail on that evening. In vain we urged the shortness of the period, arising from circumstances depending entirely on themselves, and which would not afford us sufficient time to forward the usual circular letters to our different subscribers. In vain we represented to them that the large amount of the deposit (un precedented in the annals of such Loans) would, unless divided into two payments, even at the distance of a week, operate to the disadvantage of the Contract. " Notwithstanding these obstacles, and relying on the known respectability and resources of our subscribers, we tendered our bidding on their own basis before the time appointed. The Commissioners wished to defer sending us an answer till the following morning (although they had previously stated that they wished to send off the result to their Government by seven o'clock in the evening) ' • but, at our urgent request to have it on the same evening, they forwarded it to us about half-past nine o'clock, stating iat our bidding had not been accepted. " A detailed account of these circumstances, and an official statement of the terms of, our bidding will be forwarded to the Government of Colombia, in order that they may be then and there compared with the terms finally concluded and actually complied with. " The price bid by us was 88 par cent. (which of course was exclusive of any present dividend), and a charge of 11. per cent. on the sterling amount for remitting the instalments and other incidental charges. (Signed) " April 12, 1824. " V. and A. BAILY. " I. L. GOLDS MID." THE SALMON FISHERIES. This subject, - so important to the great bulk of the landed proprietors of Scotland, occupies at this moment a considerable share of public attention ; and aware of its in tricacy and the multifarious character of the interests involved, we have been careful not to hazard a rash and ill-founded opi nion. The parties opposed to each other are the proprietors of estates watered by rivers, and the heritors of properties si tuated on the shores of estuaries, or on the margin' of the open sea :—The former, secured from time i mmemorial in a species of monopoly of the fishery, and fortified by statutes enacted in the infancy of civilization, seek to confine the killing of salmon to the ancient bounds, and to illustrate ob scure laws, by new definitions which shall have the effect of suppressing certain newly invented modes of fishing. The latter party having, since the conclusion of the last cen tury, ascertained that this valuable species of fish can be caught in the open sea, and in prodigious quantity, by a new description of net, anxiously desire to avail them selves of the advantages their estates derive from local situation. The river proprietors are decidedly opposed to their enjoying this privilege ; in. any shape whatever. By a de cree of the Court of Session; afterwards affirmed on appeal in the House of Lords, the reasons for which were found in those obscure and antiquated statutes which have for centuries regu lated the salmon fisheries, they succeeded in expelling the ob noxious stake-net from certain estuaries, as an invention calcu lated to obstruct the entrance of spawning fish into rivers, and also as detrimental to the young fry. Having accomplished this much, they now seek to impose restrictions, still more ex tended in their operation,_ by securing to themselves authority to interdict the use of stake-nets on the open coast, where their erection has been attended with extraordinary success. The decision that followed their former appeal to the laws favours the supposition that in this instance they will be no less fortu nate, provided some new legislative enactment, better framed for present times, does not originate from the labours of the Committee recently granted by Parliament, to investigate the question in its various bearings. Such is the most" material point at issue. We shall now proceed to make a few remarks on the general circumstances of the case. In those semi-barbarous ages, when the laws still in force came into operation, the public good was evidently the object in view ; and if they now fail in answering the end intended, it proceeds solely from the intelligence of man having made discoveries against which they do not provide. We have no authority for inferring that the acts regulating close time, and the construction of cruives and yairs were framed for the be nefit of individuals. The politicians of those days legislated to the best of their ability—they provided against all known cir cumstances likely to injure the fishery ; but there were many facts of which they were ignorant, and against which they could guard only by a law of general application, as liable to be construed to the injury as to the protection of public rights. So far as the history of the salmon is known, it would appear that the regulations relative to close time are by no means ac curately defined, and that instead of being limited to three months, and subjected to local innovation, it ought to be pro tracted to nearly double that period, and reduced to a clear and uniform system. It is admitted that the salmon, impelled by certain instincts, quit the sea in the month of August, and ascend the rivers with wonderful impetuosity, for the purpose of depositing their spawn. In November they arrive at their spawning stations, and continue there till towards the end of the following month ; by which time they have, with much so licitude and labour, deposited their ova in the gravelly and shallow bed of the stream. Exhausted by their exertions, and debilitated by the fesh water, they then drop back with the current, to the ocean, which they are understood to reach in March. In the end of this month the spawn becomes endued with life, and the young fry burst from the gravelly beds in which they have been buried, in a manner resembling the first visible signs of vegetation in a corn field. When set at liberty, they are swept by the current towards their natural home, the ocean, instinctively adhering to the quiet water at the margin of the stream, till they arrive at its confluence with the tide, when they gradually disappear in the depths of the central channel. From this brief sketch of the habits of the salmon, we are not only authorised to infer that close time ought to be much farther extended, but that if danger to the species is to be ap prehended from any particular mode of fishing, the coble net, when used at improper times, is of all others the most destruc tive to the fry. From its construction, and the way in which it is worked, it is calculated to spread devastation over whole beds of ova, when the fish first become animated, and, in lat ter stages, to drag ashore the fry in vast quantities. The stake. net, again, is a stationary engine, erected on shores where the salmon never deposits spawn, and which the fry rarely visit. Its meshes, besides, are so large, that small fish can pass through them as freely as the tide in which they exist ; and it is a fact worthy of remark that spawning or foul fish are far less frequently captured by it than by the coble net. The visits of the fish to the upper streams are almost exclusively for the purpose of propagating its species ; but it often repairs to the estuaries:and shores of the open sea, for purposes of less im portance, and at periods when it is in a much fitter state for being eaten by man. In this point of view, and we believe it to be ajust one, it seems evident that stake nets are less destruc tive to the spawning fish and young fry, than the means of fish ing practised on rivers ; and that if the Legislators of ancient times had been sufficiently acquainted with the fisheries, they would have exerted themselves to restrict the use of coble nets, and have favoured that mode of fishing which is now con sidered to be the least injurious, and which brings into the market the greatest and is,richest supply. One of the argu ments against the stake netthat it threatens to extermin a t e the p but this assertion will not hold for a moment._ clearly ascertained, th a t var i ous i n h a bi tants o f t h e purpoises and seals, prey upon salmon to an eli i s a, s s ee t sp ecie s , , s ri ,, a from the prodigious success that has followed its introduction; ex tent of which we can form no idea ; the stake net, therefore, is only to be considered as an invention which deprives the rapa cious monsters of the ocean of a greater quantity of a food of which they are fond But, in truth, there has been a much smaller supply o f sa l mon s i nce the stake nets were destroyed, than ther e was i n t h e rivers when these same nets were- in bu siest operation ; hence we must conclude, that some unknown cause, in all probability unconnected with the modes of fishing, has occasioned the fish to desert their natural haunts. — In thus advocating the cause of the stake net, we are not blind to the claims of the river proprietors. They purchased their properties with the understandin that certain stat u t es gave t h em an exclusive right to the nshery, and whate ver way the matter is arranged, individual grievances must exist. At t h e same t i me we cannot, in strict justice, 4e' the claims of any set o f men, i f protected by erroneous laws, in terfere with th e i nterests of the community at large. If t h e use of stake-n e t s serves to render this species of food more plen tiful, and consequently more withib the reach of all descriptions of people, why s h ou ld suc h an i mportant national advantage b e withheld ? A l aw w hi c h f a il ed to recognize the manifest right of the C oas t P ropr i etors to capture the fish that haunt their neighbourhood, would be p ecu li ar l y oppress i ve. As well might Government ena c t th at t h e f armers of certa i n di str icts were not to sow a certa i n ki n d o f gra i n, simply because i t de sired to enrich the agriculturists of another part by giving them a monopoly. The appointment of a Committee of in telligent Members of Parliament to investigate the subject pre vious to any new law being passed, promises that every sure will be adopted that can lead to harmonize conflicting le' terests. We trust that men of the first local intelligence., no matter of what rank in life, will be exardined—that their state ments will be duly compared and balanced, and that gentle men, eminent in science, will be consulted regarding the an nual transit and propagation of the salmon, subjects still in volved in mystery. Let the law be uniform, clearly defined, and strictly impartial as far as affects private interests ; and let its leading features be the public good. We cannot conclude this article without recomitending to the attention of the public, a small but interesting pamphlet on this subject, Written we understand by Mr. Kerr of Dundee, and entitled 4 Observations,' &c.—(Edinburgh Star, elprilB.)
