THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from Mc Morning Papers , Aug. - 4. DOM Tato.] Our private letters from Paris-state, that not the slightest expectation prevaiktd of any change in the Ministry. It was understood that M.de Vlllele possessed the favour both of the King anti Monsieur, and there is no party sufficiently strong to resist so powerful an influence. It was itt his financial arrangements only that he was vulnerable, and this danger he had surmounted. The Budget is expected to pass the Chamber of Peers without serious opposition, and the Session will probably close in about a week. [BRITISH PREss.] The good work of ruining our West Indian Colonies seems to prosper. By letters from De merara. we learn, that there has been n regular strike among the slaves, and that they are coining in to inquire of the Governor, whether or not they are obliged to work for their masters any longer ; and the inhabitants of Trinidad, after remonstrating in vain against the order which is to make them the subject of a philanthropic ex periment, and finding that the Governor of the island had no option or discretionary power on the subject, have set themselves down calmly to wait till the ruin, which they see is inevitable, shall overtake them. /Egon has told a' story of certain boys, who tried how frogs would bear a pelting on the head with stones, and who Nvere very much astonished at the audacity of one of the unfortunate amphibii in reminding them,that though to boys this might be very good fun , y et it WB S death to the unlucky frogs. The inhabi tants of Trinidad have stated the same thing to the. Legislature. of..this country, but • whether it will .meet with the same sympathy as the remonstrance of their prototypes time alone can shew. the mean time we would remind these ex pt of what Burke said of some others of their class thirty years ago 4 6 Such wen feel no more for the happiness of a whole generation of the !Inman race, than they would for the fate of a frog under an air-pump." We have determined that, so far at least ns our poor influence may go i we shall not allow snch palpahie spoliation to go on, without the public of Great Britain being made aware of it. In the mean time it may be as well to remind the zealous in the cause, that legislating for Colonies who had no representatives in Parliament, lost us the United States of America ; and though the West Indies hove not the same power of resist ence within themselves as these had, yet, if me drive them to extremities, as they themselves have already hinted, they may find friends able and willing to help them to shake us off. [NIORNING CIIIIONICI.E.I The Into horrible proceeding in Wexford was Fill Oded to by Mr. O'Connell at a !Ate Meeting in Dublin, of which an account will be found in another column. " If (Kays Mr. O'('onnell) there was a PreaiSattached to the! interests of Ireland and of the Cads:dies, the igsorant follies of that muddy Al etbridla ( Mr. lltitterwOrthl respecting, this coup. try., would not be permitted to livelonger thin Was necessary to thew them deserving of utter extinction. They saw how inetli dela, what was called the Liberal Press,* wax upon. the Use }runt:onside occurrence in Wexford', although they witnessed the handle made by their enemies of that unhappy bOsiness.— 'Their enentiss pretended surpxlse at the people permitting the Priest to proceed as he had done ; but do they not know with what sentiments the people. see their Clergyman approach their dwelling ? That it is always fur purposes of humanity and henevolenee—thst when contagion and disease confine them to their bed of straw, the clergyman is the adininistrator of cons°. lotion and relief. With these . feelings towards their Priest, snd not knowing that he was mad, and that under no other cir comstances would he injure thorn, did they permit him to pro ceed. This is the simple solution of an affair tortured to the most malignant porpises; and .yet. scarcely had they a pen raked to explain the circumstance or confound the nudigners of the Catholic Priesthood." . _ _ Tidal; a fair and manly line of vindication of the affair which Mr. O'Conuell'haa taken.

Once .admit that miracles moy 4a wrought, and are, daily wrought in support a, a Church, and you.,necessarily open a dour to such horrid tramobetinoi es the one its titif , 6oll. Casting out deVila is a miracle of const,,,,t currence in rho Catholic Church, from the origin of Christianity to the present day, and with out the people had known before-hand that the Priest was mad, it would have been a denial of th e respect which in the Catholic' : Chrirchls ,tine ter Priests, , had they refused to believe his declaration that he was working a mirucle.—Otlier advocates of the Catholics haVe attributed the transaction to the ignorance of the peasantry in the county of Wexford. Mr.O'Con. nell, however, has disdained this disingenuous course, and fairly grappled with tile difficulty.— I n a ll case' of miracles credit must be given to the operator: till the work,is_performed, for.it not till all is Over that it can be known whether there has or I n ns 'riot ; Inert 'one; Mr. O'Connell knew, th e r e fore, that the people, if they were not aware that. the Priest was mud, were bound to interrupt him in the a 9 gOod..CathOliC9 ulna progress of the miracle which be had announced.

[MORNING PO3T. We received last night, by Express, French Papers to the Qd inst. and the Blanc of Monday. They ere all extremely barren. Some partkl elections were on the eve of taking place, al though the last was a general one, and the dura tion of the new Chamber had become Septennial. This was occasioned by the election of the same Members for several places, or Departments, and their selection of one, which left the representa tion of the others vacant, and rendered it neces sary that it should he filled up. As this chiefly occuried where Liberal Candidates were con cerned, it may serve to augment their number in the Chamber ; for the Electors will natu rally appoint Representatives possessing the same opinions as those which they had ori ginally chosen, and as they were strong enough to enforce their first choice, they will no doubt be able to do as much with the second ; they have, besides, the good wishes of the Ultras in their favour, and will perhaps meet with their support. For should the Ultras see that it is not in their power to procure the return of an indivi dual of their own body, they will prefer a Libe ral to a Minister ialist. Rumours of a fresh dis solution of the Chamber were in existence, but had not yet gained sufficient credit to produce much effect on the public mind or the public funds. [MORNING HERALD.] It was stated, a few days since, in an Evening Paper, that the Lord Chancellor, on being ap plied to to hear a case of Habeas Corpus, took occasion to complain of the hardship of his hav ing to attend to such matters, " while there were, at the same time, twelve Judges in England who were empowered by Act of Parliament to dispose of these cases in the long vacation, 'and nine of them almost idle and neemplOyed In that long space." It is added, that the Counsel who made the motion replied, '' that prisoners had a right to choose the Judges before whom they wished to be brought up, and that he would still advise every client of his to 'pre. ler his Lordship to every other Judge Oil the Bench, so great was his Lordship's careandanxie ty in the disposal of motions for Ilabeith Corpus-- and, indeed, of all others." That , this kind of Ilumene y was actually used, we are reluctantly compelled to believe ; but we do hope that the Lord Chancellor bad better taste than to accept such a kind of compliment at the expence of the other Judges of the land, upon whom his pre vioos remarks, if accurately reported, appear to have been somewhat severe, if not a little un founded. We are fully aware that the labours of the Lord Chancellor admit of no addition, and instead of joining in any complaint of dilatori ness in him, we rather wonder how he can get through the mass of business that he does. At the same time we do not admit that any of 114 udges can be said to be idle or unemployed for any long period, if at all. We should rather he in clined-to say, that, iu common with the Lord Chancellor,,they,have most of them scarcely rea sonable:Aline liferelatation crinn - their` laborious' ertiploYll, 'The . Lord Cheiicellor, too, should re , member, that if he works harder than the Mile Puisne Judges, he receives both in honourS, tronnge, end salary, a much greater dispropor tion of reward. But let us examine a little this new idea of nine idle, unemployed Judges; re markiug, by the way, that we believe the three Puistie Judges of the King's Bench have more to do than the Chief Baron of the Exchequer : we will confine ourselves, as his Lordship is stated to hive done,to the long 'vacation. Instead of etijoy ing the long vacation in idleness, the Judges are• engaged during nearly one-half of it in the ar duous and painful duties of the Cireuits—duties,. we w ill venture to say, for the time, much more anxious and laborious than any which deVolve even upon the Lord Chancellor, great as his la.: hours confessedly are. Most of the Circuits do not end till the second week in September, b' which time the Lord Chancellor hug generally escaped from his Court to enjoy, ,for a short time, Iris favourite amusement of shooting.. Even after their return from the Circuits, the SPS. sions at the Old Bailey immediately occupy three of them. Ohe Judge of tacit Contrt is also obliged to remain in town to attend to Churn her business in Sergeant's Init. And 'of late years the Sittings of the Court of King's Bench have been resumed by time middle of October. If this is being idle and unemployed, we know not what labour is. The truth, however, is, that a ver y generul, and, We believe., correct impression . prevails, that the labours of the Judges -ore - so great, and their remutteration.so inadequate, that it is with difficulty that competent persons - can be found to accept the eppointments ; nod Co. vernment have already expressed an ietention, of applying a remedy in the next Session of Parlia ment. It was only that a contrary and mis taken notion u t ight not be taken up upon such high authority, that we have been induced to no. tice the subject. [rif F. TIM ES.I We have alreti'dy .expressed our favourable judgment of the spirit which set on foot i!01111618 • sins for inquiring into the state Of education throughout Ireland; and at the same time our belief that the result would gate imprint very strongly on the public mind. the necessit y of resorting to far dif ferent experiments than that of honk instruction for bar' people. The domestic habits of the peasantry, whlch are suckled in with the mother's' milk, and contirthed and pvrpetunted by the daily occur . retires of the cAhitt—they, it is, which call for an absoluv.+ and complete reform.

They have no conception of bringing up children .to any higher state than one of scanty and precarious livelihood. They have no idea oi reserving for their own use, in recompense for their own toil, any larger por tion of what the earth produces than that which their ragg,ed and half-starved progenitors re ceived before them. From this deplorable insensibility to the decent wants of exi,t ence, as is well known—indeed so well, that we are almost ashamed to repeat it—two dread ful evils follow : first,- marriage, with just as much forecast of its natural consequences as beasts have—not half so much as birds have, w h en they pair : secondly, extravagant biddings for land, which are the immediate causes of those enormo us rents so universally complained of by t charged uponthemselve s ,tlepoortheir and so (in that case) un justlylandlords. The igno rance, we say again, of those daily wants which are familiar to all civilized beings, is what con stitutes, and what prolongs the miserable condi tion of the Irish- Can such ignorance be sup plied by school-books ? Books may correct' erroueous, theories ; but 'habits of diseased ac tion must be superseded by a practical in struction in better habits. We do not pro pose, therefore, to relinquish nor to narrow the school system of charity throughout Ireland ; but we do most 'earnestly recommend that, in ad dition to it, some pains should be taken to im prove the daily management and interior arrange ment of the cabins, and of the tenements sur rounding them. Government there can do no thing, but by furnishing a moderate sum of money. It rests with the gentry, the Protestant clergy, and Catholic priesthood—above all, with the resident ladies of Ireland—to teach the poor in their own cottages—to make every family a little school, where cleanliness, and decency, and domestic industry, and minute economy of time and space, may supplant the abominations which now prevail universally ; for, disproportionate as are the rents which these poor creatures impose upon themselves, it must he observed, that by their slovenly, unskilful, and wasteful practices, the difficulty of providing for the landlord is nearly doubled. Such a course of instruction,it is true, can be executed only by means of sacrifices on the part of the gentry and clergy which they have Ito( been accustomed to, They must visit She poor man's cottage in their own persons—not represent ed by ari‘jers, by tithe-proctors,. or policemen : they must overcome .a variety of disgusts, forego many idle engagements, speak the language of kind and friendly admonition, and follow up their counsels bieucouragements of a more substantial nature to those among the labouring poor who dis tinguish themselves by superior promptitude in acting upon the lessons or their benefactors. By e such methods, and such chiefly, do we esteem it possibl at present to improve the habits of the Irish poor. It may sound paradoxical to desire that an increase of their wants should be resorted to as an expedient for relieviug them from the pressure of those which noes afflict them : yet if some see!' stimuleS be' not applied, we may an ticipate another 100 years of hopeless and melan choly degradation.: At be , further said, we have no doubt, that although the- poor' may be disposed to Warn, there etre none among - the upper classes of Ireland qualified or willing to act the part which we have s sugg es ted, nttd thus to re medy the evik by o hirh they themselves so deeply 'stitrer. That' is their coamidernaort—fnot oure. • If the Irish gentlemen and their families can nei ther see th e diso r d er , nor a d m i n i ster a reme d y to benevolent sosinviting, and . to those which are capable of even slight reflection 40 irldispen su We, why the CornMiSSioners ought to .Obtain fresh powers, and—onlarge the sphere of their inquiry, so as to embrace the best method of educating the upper classes of the Irish, and 'fitting them for the discharge of their most urgent duties.

TITHES IN THE CITY OF LONDON• MANSION.HOUSE.-Mr. John Blencarn, a Gen tleman engaged in mercantile business, and residing in Ame rica.square' waited upon the Loup Al AY On, and begged his Lordship's advice in a matter of great importance to the inha bitants of the parish in which he resided. In consequence of his Lordship's decision in a late case respecting tithes, he had received the following extraordinary form of notice from the •agents of the lay-impropriator of that parish (St. Botolph's, Aldgate, in Portsoken Ward) : " Stu— We are directed by Roger Kynaston, Esq. to apply to you for payment of four quarters of arrears of tithes due to him at Christmas last, amounting to the sum of 51. 10s. ; and to inform you, that unless the same be paid to us on or before Thursday next, we have peremptory instructions to file a bill against you in the Court of Chancery ; and you will particu larly understand that this notice will not be repeated. " IVe are, Sir, your obedient servants, R. 0. and H. K. BURFOOT, "2, King's Bench-walk, Temple, July 22, 1824. " Mr. John Blencarn, 2, America-square." The Act of Henry VIII. directed that all disputes which arose under the alleged decree should be settled by the Lord Mayor for the time being; and that only in his default should the parties apply to the Lord Chancellor. Here the Clergy threw up his Lordship's jurisdiction in defiance of their own pretended in strument, and in the present case, as Vac notice was a printed circular, which he believed was general, the whole parish were threatened individually with the dreadful expences of suits in Chancery it' they ventured to resist the inordinate demand of two shillings and ninepence in the pound on the rental. The two shillings and ninepence in this case was demanded upon the rack rent, which shewed to what an extent the inhabitants were now to be proceeded against. The father of the present im. propriator had for many years only taken sixpence in the pound ; under particular circumstances the parish afterwards agreed to give one shilling in the pound but it was only by • the present impropriator that the demand of 2s. Pd. was put forth and acted upon. Under these circumstances he begged to know, whether his Lordship could in any way interfere, or the claim be resisted without taking it into the Court of Chancery. He was desirous of resisting the claim, but he could not think of singly encountering the horrid delay, expense, and uncer. tainty of a Chancery suit. The LORD MAYOR said, that however oppressive the pro needing might be he could not interfere; and his advice was, to those who felt the proceeding as oppressive, to call a public meeting and petition Parliament for redress and a proper settle ment of the claims of the Clergy. He would give no opinion MI the particular case; but if it were one of oppression the in habitants had better unize for their common defence, and if they were unanimous they had many chances in their favour. The step of obtaining the money by intimidation did not appear very praiseworthy. Mr. Blencarn said that his WAS a much more severe case than that of Mr. Hargrave, which was argued before his Lordship the other day. The LonD MAYOR observed, that the proceeding in that MC, by a suit in Chancery, was perfectly unwarrantable, as the case was not determined before him in the second instance, but merely adjourned to enable the impropriator to prove his right fully, which lie had promised to do ; but, instead of re-appear ing for that purpose, he had preferred the oppressive proceed ing by a suit in Chancery. In fact, they were going back to the old system, when the preference was given to the moat severe course. They would not then take the money of the Quakers, but prefared imprisoning them and punishing them for their belief. These acts of oppression at length became so terrible, that the Legislature were obliged to make the enact ments to give a sort of' accommodation to them. Mr. Blenrarn left the office, as we understood, with a deter mination to act upon his Lordship's advice, and try to get the parishioners together upon the subject. DOGS. NARY r.r.now E POLICE-OFFlCE.—Yesterday Mr. Engley, a very respectable tradesman in Oxford -street, appeared at this °like on summons, to answer the complaints of .Mary Gibbs, a woman of very decent and interesting appearance, who stated that she was the mother of five children, one of whom, a little girl about three years old, which she hela.in. her arms, had been bitten that morning in .the ebeek by a dog belonging to Mr. E. which was p e rmitt e d to rain foOse and unmuzzled about the yard in which his premises are situated,: and through which a great many persons are under the .neeessity of passing, in order to have access to their dwellings. Another child of tiers had been bitten by the same dog about three months ago. . The cheek of the infant was very. niuCh swollen, and its sufferings must un. doubtedly have been great, two considerable wounds having been made by the animal's teeth, cessary to make an to which a surgeon had found it ne. application of lunar caustic. Th e dog, a red wirehaired terrier was brought to the office, and his appe ar . ance would certainly lead to the conclusion that ho was an animal of considerable ferocity, notwithstanding the repeated declarations of his owner that he was perfectly quiet and harm. less. Mr. Engley, with whom the dog, a very tine one of hi breed, was evidently a favourite, said, that he had found it ne cessary to keep an animal of that description on his premises as a guard monist the depredations of a number of low and SUS. picioliS characters in his nei g hbou r hood. He wa s willi ng , however, to adopt any precaution that could be SUagested against the recurrence of a similar accident, and even offered to have the dog killed at once if the Magistrate wished it. He also under took to defray the expellees of the surgeon's attendance on the ehild.L=Fte was ordered to enter into a recognisance not to allow the dog to go at large unmuzzled. • BORN:B.1r BY A VAULT.
