THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, June 15, [MORNING CHRONICLE.] On the English Stock Exchange yesterday the Consols opened at 95i, and it is impossible that the Market could have been more inanimate, probably not a dozen of transactions having been effected throughout the day. It will require a considerable period to restore confidence amongst capitalists in National Securities of every de scription, for there exists at present . a struggle be twiit the Holy Alliance and the Bourbons on one part, and the future prosperity of British , Commerce on the other; and it is universally ad mitted, that the decision of his Majesty's Foreign Secretary, on the important subject of the recog nition of the new American States, can :.lone re move those restraints which are now paralyzing the productive industry of 'the manufacturing dis tricts of the British Empire. On the Foreign 'Stock Exchange the transfers of public securities are more animated, for the Bears, as they are called, of American Stock, become daily more bold, and exhibit all the confidence which specu lators on the downfall of the commerce of Great Britain could display were they convinced of its immediate sacrifice at the shrine of the inte rest of the Political Tyrants of Europe.— They accordingly sell at any price, and a decline in the value of Chilian and Mexi can Bonds of at least 1 per cent. is the ,natural consequence of their operation. It was perfectly understood that Sir James Mackintosh ould present the Petition of the London Mer chants, praying for the recognition of some of the new American States, to the House of Com mons ; but even the late declaration of Mr. Canning on this subject, in his official dispatches, could not eradicate the dread that Holy Legi timate interests would triumph over the good in tentions of the Right Honourable Secretary.— Austrian Bonds did not undergo any material alteration yesterday, but they have already ex perienced the shock which has been given to public confidence. Russian Bonds are 2 per cent. lower, and so also are the Securities of Por tugal and Naples. Spanish Bonds become greater favourites, in proportion as the cause of absolute monarchs gains ground. French Rentes are a shade higher. [MORNING HERALD.] - The restored Peerages' Bill passed last night ftom the Upper to the Lower House of Parliament. In the House of Lords, Lord Melville adverted to the hardships of obliging the Scotch restored Peers to take the Sacrament according to the forms of the Church of England as a qualification for their restoration, and intimated his intention of moving next Session for the repeal of this ne cessity. In the House of Commons, the Bills were all read a first and a second time, and re ferred to a private Committee, who are to report this day. There are five Bills, and they respect the following Peerages :—the Barony of Stafford, in England ; the Earldom of Alarr ; the Viscount ship of Kentnure ; the Viscountship of Strath allan ; and the Barony of Nairne, in Scotland. It is worthy of remark, that while the four last Bills mention the individuals restored to the for feited rank, the first merely repeals the attainder of Baron• Stafford in the reign 'of Charles 11., without naming the individual entitled to hold •the restored rank. The repeal of the Marr at tainder was eulogized as an act of justice—a re versing of legal murder. Great praise was be stowed upon the restoration of the Octogenarian Erskine to the Earldom of Marr. The Whigs lauded the impartiality of restoring the Whig de scendant of a Jacobite ancestor. Mr. Peel re joked in restoring a • title whose origin was buried hi the clouds of antiquity, beyond the reach of history, tradition, or even fable. Mr 4 Bruce complained that he was not restored to the Peer age of Burleigh. Mr. Peel stated that the greatest abjection to an indiscriminate restoration was, that many of those interested did not wish it.— Other objections it would be invidious, he said, to state. If Sir G. Jerningham be restored to the Barony of Stafford, it is remarkable that his daughter is married to the heir and representa tive of Lord Lovat, who was executed at Ken pington in 1746. Both families are Roman Ca tholics. ETII E TIM ES., A motion was expected last night from Sir James Mackintosh, on the recognition of the inde pendence of the South American States ; but After an apparent conference - with Mr. Canning is the House, the Ron. Member postponed his motion. We had stated that the British CCM).- missioner in Colombia had presented the Presi. dent or Vice-President of the-Republic with a snuff-box on the part of his Britannic Majesty. Our statement was contsradicted : it was asserted, to be unfounded ; and we this day publish the speech which the British Commissioner made an presenting the snuff-box ! If the act of the Commissioner be sanctioned by his Go vernment, the independence of Colo m bi a i s ac C knowledged already to Colombi a h erse lf ; and we do not see how the Commissioner could make the present unless it had been consigned to him for that purpose by his Government at home. If lie had been premature in the art, still the secret feeling of his Cabinet will 'be evinced by the pre pared state of the Envoy - to embellish the recog nition, whenever it took place, with the courtesies visual on such occasions. So far, therefore, as the obsolete Government may be affected, the mis chief has been done ; and it seems to be trifling to suspend the formal acknowledgment of the in dependence of the South American States any longer. [Nuvr TIMES.] We have received isseveral the Eloile dated on Sunday, which contali interesting articles, but throws little light on thetopic Which excites mo s t at t en tion iii Paris— t h:, a i ls i mi,sal, of M. de Cha teaubriand. in th e Chat: of Deputies Al.,d e is Bourdonnaye has o pened M. de Ville le, by movin g 4 a:, a n 7 battery against to present du rin g this Sessiontilie rep; to the King 18.1, for au indemnification o f t lVg, expected -- Emigrants.— In this affair tfie parties seem to be play ing at All in the Wrong. A reduction of the Rentes was absolutely necessary to en able the Minister to indemnify the - Emigrants; but those who were most deeply impressed with the justice of the latter measure, set their faces most absolutely against the former. Nothing could be more just than the indemnification; but in order to effect it the other charges on the State ought to be lessened. M. De Yillele saw this, but unfortunately he attempted to do too much. He put himself too completely into the hands of the great capitalists, whe'naturally prefer vast and extensive operations. This alarmed some of his best friends, and finally defeated his measure. Had he proceeded on a narrower scale he would probably have carried his point, and then some indemnification to the emigrants would have been possible. Now it is impossible ; and every body must see that M. De La Bourdon naye's motion is solely brought forward to harass the Minister, without a chance of success. [MORNING POST.I In our notice of the proceedings in the House of Lords a few evenings since, we particularly directed attention to a Petition presented by the Bishop of Raphoe, praying that a Law might be passed, enabling Parishes in Ireland to make legal provision for their poor. The more we reflect upon the prayer of this petition, the more we think it entitled to serious consideration. In the first place it proceeds from the Protes tant, Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic Cler gymen of the Parish which has forwarded it, and, as a matter of course, expresses the sentiments of all descriptions of person with in that district. In the. next place, so little is solicited—indeed, so mere a legalization of na tural rights—that we cannot well see on what grounds the request can be denied. Why the I respectable inhabitants of a Parish should be prevented or obstructed in the effectual exercise of their benevolence appears incomprehensible ; for although a few eccentric individuals might carry enthusiasm in any cause to an absurd or prejudicial extent, it is unreasonable to suppose that a whole Parish would be so infatuated with philanthropy as to saddle themselves with perpe tual burdens for the relief of their poor neighbours on principles detrimental to so ciety at large. This being premised, it may be added, that however impolitic to intro duce the system of Poor Laws into Ireland now established here, it is absolutely necessary that some assimilation of the two countries on this subject should take place. Either the pro vision for the poor in England must be greatly modified, or •a modification of the Poor Laws must be introduced into the sister Island. Any person who has attended to the growing relations of the United Kingdom for several years past, and reflected upon the rapid progress of the po pulation—the emigration from Ireland into Eng land—and the law of removal, to which the latter has given birth—will, at once, we flatter our selves, concede the foregoing proposition. But, in another point of view, the prayer of the present Petitioners ask no more than this—to enable the Irish to discountenance, and finally sup press the nuisance, mendicity ; and instead thereof, to establish a regulated provision for the aged, infirm, and destitute. When lately dis cussing Mr. Kennedy's Scotch Poor Bill, we took occasion to observe on the merits of the latter system, and in short the principle in one case must hold good in the other. Pauperism always wilt exist, and the real question therefore is, how its evils may be most judiciously modified where they cannot be altogether avoided. [BRITISH PRESS.] The. Paris Papers of Saturday, with Sunday's Etoile, reached our Office yesterday by Express. A complete schism yet prevails among the French Journals since Chateau briand's dismissal. Their columns are daily filled with discussions on the subject : the Etoile, the Drapeau Blanc, and the Gazette dc France, a re ranged under M. de Vi Ile les' standard ; the Journal des Debuts leads in the opposing ranks ; and the Quotidienne wavers.— The glittering bribe, dealt out some time since, bought over seven out of twelve shares, held by different disinterested proprietors of the Quoti clienne ; the rest were inflexible, and are now in the enemy's camp. This Journal, therefore, is Janus faced—it gave in one day a sort of doubt- approbation to the character and measures of on the next, a the disgraced Ministe r ; w hile, counter-article appeared. Thus its policy was fluctuating: it was like Miss in the play—" She Would and She Would Not." M. Michaud, the founder, and for some time the leading Editor, of this Journal, ventured a few weak articles in fa sour of M. Chateaubriand since his dismissal. An article less doubtful was subsequently tendered to the present responsible Editor by M. Sorlie, in which it was stated that " All Paris had left their names at M. de Chateaubriand's." This article, the present responsible Editor rejected, being. obliged by the French law to attach his name to the paper before publication. The author of the rejected article (M. de Sorlie) complained of the suppression in a letter to the Journal des Debats, and the Editor replied, stating, that the majority of the proprietors of the Quotidienne had in structed him to put a close to the personal con tests which for some days had marked the paper; and adding, that it was not the fact, that, " all Paris had left their names at M. Chateau briand's ; " M. Michaud, in consequence, as the organ of Chateaubriand's supporters, in the Quo tidienne, gave legal notice to the responsible Editor, to quit his office, who refuses to do so; being, as he alleges, supported by a majority of proprietors, amountin. to seven-twelfths. Thus the,contests of th e Cabinet have descended to the Press, and are equally pure and disinterested in one case as the other. The new Church at Chelsea, which eclipses all the modern ones in beauty and 'uniformity of architecture, is proceeding rapidly towards com pletion ; and will, it is said, be consecrated and opened for Divine Worship on St. Luke's day (the Ist of October), the titular Saint of the parish, MR. SMITH, the MISSIONARY.

EAST INDIA HOUSE. A General Court of Proprietors was yesterday held at the East India House, for the purpose of c on s id er i ng the late Treaty entered i nto between this country and the Ne therlands, relative to the cession of certain possessions in the East Indies. EAST INDIA SUGAR. ----- The CHAIRMAN stated, that at the last Court he had said, that there was . an exception in the Bill then before Parliament, for continuing the duty of 40s. on East India sugar for one year longer—namely, with regard to sugar imported from the Mau ritius, which was only to be charged 275. An Hon. Member upon that occasion said, that the exception had been left out of the Bill. He (the Chairman) had since discovered, although he was not then aware of the fact, that the Hon. Gentleman's assertion was correct, the exception having been omitted in the report. The reason was, because the Government had thought it proper to abandon the intention of legislating separately for the Mauritius. The duties upon sugar to be imported from the Mauritius, therefore, would be th e same as upon t h at f rom the East Indies—namely, 40s. ; which were to be continued for another year. TREATY WITH THE NETHERLANDS. The CHAIRMAN then stated to the Court the object for which they had been convened ; which was, to consider a Bill now before Parliament, for the ratification of a Treaty with the King of the Netherlands, by which it was agreed to give up the settlement of Bencoolen to the Dutch, in exchange for that of Singapore, which was to be held in, full sovereignty by the East India Company. During the pro gress of the negotiation, the Board of Directors, at the request of the then President of the Commissioners of Controul, the pre sent Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Canning, deputed five of their own body to inquire into an d cons id er the expediency of the measure ; and in consequence of the report of this Com mittee, the Court of Directors sanctioned the views, and strengthened the proceedings, of the King's Government. He concluded by moving that this Court approve of the proceedings of the Court of Directors, and of the Bill now before Parliament upon.the subject. The motion having been seconded, blr R..lACKscix asked the Chairman whether Government had instructed the Board of Directors as to their proceedings before they had consented to yield up any of their possessions. The CHAIRMAN said, that no step whatever had been taken by the Government, without the full consent of the Court of Directors. Mr. R. JACRSGN then proceeded to address the Court at considerable length, taking a minute review of the modern his tory of the Eastern'Archipelago, with a view to show the great importance of Singapore from its situation, and the advan tage which the Company would derive from its possession ; and compared the acquirements which they obtained by this negotiation to the miraculous draught of fishes. He looked upon the spirit of the treaty to be this—to do justice to both countries, and to lay the foundation of a permanent peace between them. Indeed, it was the opinion of the late Gover nor-General, that it would be the interest of the Company to purchase all the possessions of the Dutch upon the Continent of India. It was true, that upon the present occasion the Com pany had given up a large island, but then it was one which had been a constant source of ex pence to them ; and after all, the appearance of an ordinary privateer was sufficient to throw the whole settlement into confusion. To the Dutch, however, Sumatra possessed great lOcal advantages; for all their posses sions lay on one side of the Straits of Malacca, whilst ours lay on the other. They, therefore , had acted wisely i n gett i ng pos session of Sumatra • and we, f Singapore. It h a d b een sa id of the Straits of Babefmandel, that whoever possessed them, might put a padlock upon the Red Sea ; so, in like manner, might it be said that whoever possessed Singapore might put a padlock upon the Straits of Malacca, and the Chinese seas; and this important possession was now ours. With these considerations he was disposed to wave the constitutional objection he would otherwise have made ; for the Directors had no right to con cede any of their possessions without consulting them (the pro prietors.) Mr. WEEDING asked if the Dutch had given up their claim to the annual payment, which we had agreed to make tliem under a former treaty, for buying off their competition with us in opium ? The CHAIRMAN said, that by the Bth article of the treaty _all payments, demands, or claims were now removed by the cession of the territory, in respect of . which they arose, and which now belonged to the East India Company. After an observation froth Mr. R. JAOtsoN, The CHAIRMAN observed, it would not be necessary for him to say any thing further upon this subject, since their conduct had received the approbation of the Hon. and Learned Gentle man-. He was always happy to meet the wishes of every pro prietor. With respect to the Directors not having sooner con sulted the Proprietors, it was quite impossible that they could have given publicity to their proceedi ngs ; an d i n d ee d t h e Hon. Gentleman himself admifted that. But it was a doubtful ques. tien whether or not they were bound to have done so ; the statute of ICing William having given the Directors the executive power in the affairs of the Company, directing them to lay each mea sure, in the course of its progress, before the Court of Proprietors for their approbation._ _ Mr. GAiAGArr, after defending the late Lord Londonderry from the blame of having given up all the Dutch settlements at the treaty of Paris, which, he said, attached to the Directors, and not to his Lordship, proceed e d t o as k w h at were t h e pos sessioni which cbnstituted what his Learned Friend had called " the miraculous draught of fishes ?" It seemed to him that they had caught but one little fish—of delicate flavour, he fl . ranted—whilst numbers had been drawn in by the nets of their friends the Dutch. Mr. TRANT expressed a hope, that at some future period we should manage to obtain the possessions of the other European powers of India, because it was important that we should,be the sole European possessors of India. The motion was then put, and carried unanimously. —Ad journed. THE SICILIAN DWARF —Mr. LEWIS FOGLE, the father of this interesting child, whose death we mentioned last week, appeared at Marl borough-street office, and stated that a Dr. Gil ligan had induced him and his wife to part with their little child for the benefit of her health.— The Doctor's proposal was that he would take her from Dublin (where Mr. Fogle resides, having a musical situation in the Theatre of that City), to the Continent, provided he had permission to exhibit her as extraordinary dwarf for a short time in London, for the purpose of reimbursing him his expences. To this the parents agreed ; and the next tidings they heard of their child was of her death, not from the Doctor, but through the newspapers. Mr. Fogle immedi ately left Dublin, and on his arrival in London, he could neithe r find the Doctor,nor hearany thing of the remains of his child, to remove which to Dublin for interment was the object of his journey. He suspected from information he has received, that the Doctor has sold the body of the child to Surgeons for dissection, from the circumstance of his having been heard to say, in the life time of the child, that in case of her death, the Surgeons would give him 5001. for her remains.—The Ma gistrate having heard Mr. Fogle's statement, ad. vised him to apply to the Parish authorities where the child died, whose duty it was to see that a Co roner's Inquest was held upon any person meeting with a sudden death, as this child was repre sented to have done. Mr. Fogle thanked the Magistrate for this advice. His wife, he said, had enjoined him to bring the body of the child to Dublin. She was doatingly fond of the girl, who was asl intelligent, interesting, - and affec tionate in her diposition and manner, as she was beautiful in her person and form, and diminutive in her stature. An infant, seven months old, being neglected by its nurse, last week cried itself to death! in the parish of Lyncombe and Widcombe. ATTEMPT AT MURDER. AND SUICIDE.—On Tuesday night last Stephen Carnell, residing at Sheffield Moor, made an attempt to destroy his wife by cutting her throat with a knife, but did not succeed, a Surgeon being immediately sent for, who has pronounced her out of danger. He afterwards made an ineffectual attempt to destroy himself, by severing his wind-pipe. He is in custody, and evinces strong symptoms of insanity. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL MARKETS, June 14.
