'TIE LONDON JOURNALS. DA I LY Extracts from Me Morning Papers ) Dec. 8. ~TttE TI M ES.] We have received, by way of Paris, a copy of The Argos (a Buenos-Ayres paper) of the 17th of September. It relates an affair of Bolivar's vanguard, after crossing the Andes, towards the end of June, but the statement is without date. It of course has no reference to the battle of Junin, which hippened ou the sth or 6th of August. We are told that before the affair of •'nuin, 500 infantry and 160 cavalry deserted the Spanish and joined the Patriotic standard. This battle took place at Acabamba; 4,500 of the Spanish troops are said to have been engaged, and General Monet is stated to have been wounded, and taken prisoner. The same number of the Argos details a naval victory which was gained at Callao on the 6th of July by the Independ ents over the Spaniards, when Capt. Robertson, accompanied with 125 men, in nine boats, suc ceeded in destroying or cutting out the President, of 20 guns, and one or two more ships. [NEW TIMEa.]. Our Renders must bast been disgusted at the illiberal attack on Mr. Peel in the proceedings of the Catholic Association ; and we cannot suffer so despicable a measure of hostility to pass with out our indignant reprobation. We allude to a story told by Mr. Shiel respecting a poor fisher man, who, when Mr. Peel was Secretary of State for Ireland, had at the risk of his own life saved six other persons from drowning. Nobody who knows the Right Honourable Gentle man can for a moment doubt that an act of so much heroism and humanity, by whomsoever performed, would have met with his warmest applause and ready remuneration. But the nar rator goes on to say that Mr. Peel heard it with the most perfect non-chalance, and, after retiring a short time into his office, re-appeared, and asked his informant " whether the man was a Protestant 1" Here the story breaks off; we are not told that Mr. Peel did or did not reward the man ; but the obvious insinuation is that he did not, and that he withheld the merited approba tion of so intrepid an act solely because the man was a Catholic. We have not the means of knowing the exact circumstances of an occurrence which, among the numerous claims on Mr. Peel's official attention, may probably have escaped even his own memory. But, from what we have :seen of the Right Hon. Gentleman in the whole course of his public life—from the constant amenity of his disposition ; from the candour even of his political opposition to the Catholics themselves; and particularly from the sentiments and feelings which he evinced in regard to the gracious conduct of his Majesty during the last Session of Parliament toward two Catho lic Noblemen, the Duke of Norfolk and Lord Stafford—we do not hesitate to assert that the I insinuation must be in substance altogether un founded. Indeed, upon the face of the story, the question might be necessary for the very purpose of benevolence. If the man was a Protestant, he might be rewarded in one way and through one channel ; if he was a Catholic, his reward must necessarily perhaps be given in a different way and through a different channel. But we do not rest on this argument ; we rest on the known character of the Right Hon. Gentle man for equity, for humanity, for generosity, for honour—a character on which the base imputa. tion thrown out by Mr. Shiel cannot for a moment rest. Mr. Shiel is a Ploy-writer, an indifferent one we admit ; but still he ought to know that in the great drama of life, as well as on the stage, the critic's rule is observed by every man of irate. grity in the guidance of his own conduct— -scrvetur ad imunt Quails ah incepto processerit et sibi constet. Mr. Peel would be almost miraculously inconsist ent with himself if Mr. Shiers insinuation were substantially true. [MORNING POST.] " Down with the Catholic Association!" "Down with the Papist Parliament ! "—" Down with the Irish Insurgents !"—Such is the uni versal cry of Great Britain—such the unani mous wish of every loyal subject, every honest man in the United Kingdom !—The proceedings at the Aggregate Meeting in Dublin on Thursday last, illustrate remarkably the character we have uniformly given to the Catholic Association. — Mr. Shkl compared the Protestants to Turks ; and Mr. O'Conne it openly defied the Govern ment to interfere w ith the progress of the present rebellion fn Ireland. Before the Association was menaced (said he) the rent received weekly amounted to 500t,since that it has been upwards of 10001. per week. And then, forsooth, if Podia. meat dare molest the Associatiou, Aggregate Meetings should be held in despite of King, Lords, and Commons, every fortnight or every week ! The letter, too, which Mr. Eneas Macdonell, in the capacity of " Confidential Agent" recently addressed to us, has been blown upon by the apel-street Congress as unworthy of their sanc tion, for its affected moderation ! Mr. O'Con nell, however, was extremely jocular upon the present occasion. Besides several point ed compliments to us, he prophetically as sured the Meeting that Emancipation was at band—and facetiously slandered every in- dividual in the Empire - who has laboured to pro mote the welfare of Ireland-p-to instruct and civilize the Irish Papists. Now, contrary to the adage, we must inform this famous- 66 Leader," %hat, as a prophet, he hes no respect out of his own country. He shall find, on the opening of Parliament, both that the Association will be put down, and every hope of 66 Emancipation " tivashed. llave we not s ee n su ffi c i en tly plain ) since the reins were related on the Irish Papists, how soon they would th r ow off a ll s h ow o f allegiance were they free to follow their own im pulses, When did they commence, the present outrages against Church and State—when did the Romish Priests begin to insolently spirt their venom at the most sacred feelings. Anti the most valued rights of the Protestant Community The very moment that the Legislature in its be neficence evinced a disposition to try whether the Roman Catholics Were sufficiently tamed to have their fetters partially loosened and lengthened. —Let not the Association deceive itself or its Constituents. The people of England have rather too just a sense of their liberties and happiness to throw them to be' trampled on and torn . by a set of ferocious fanatics let loose upon the country. Fortunately for the Empire, just . enough freedom has been granted the Papists to prove their real nature and designs. What history suggested—what wisdom appre hended—a well-devised experiment has confirm ed. The Roman Catholics are unfit to partake of the full enjoyment of the British Constitution; and therefore they must continue excluded from the power and honours its confers. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We call the attention of our readers to an ar icle under the title " Extensive Robbery," which shews how completely the respectable part of the community are at the mercy of depreda. tors in this country. The only thing that astonishes us, is that, with such defective in stitutions, matters are not worse. That .a sta tioner should give 1,1001. to recover between 2,0001. and 3,0001. worth of stamps is extremely natural, for a sacrifice of 1,1001. is better than one of more than twice the amount. Ay, but to compromise with thieves is to be more mindful of private than the public good 1 . So an indi vidual, instead of being protected by the public, the great object of society being mutual protec tion, is to sacrifice his property for the pro. tection of the public ! What drivelling t Those who build on principles, which suppose in individuals the preference of the general good to their own, are hardly fit to be reasoned with. What ought to be done, is to free individuals from the trouble and expellee of recovering property taken from them in violatiUn of the law. An administrative organization, adequate to the protection of the people, ought to be appointed. One obvious appointment will suggest itself to every one—that of public pro secutors, which every other civilized country possesses. [IIRITISII PRESS.] Our private accounts from Ireland by no means warrant that alarm which appears to pre vail on this side the water, as to the inflamed and contentious state of the Sister Kingdom. It was to be expected that no pains would be spared to prejudice the minds of the ignorant and unwary, by aggravated statements, circulated for the pur pose of creating apprehensions which those who spread them abroad might best turn to account. Local inquiries have been made as to the condi tion of the different parts of Ireland, and from the reports it is ascertained, that, with a very few exceptions, the whole kingdom is tranquil ; and the utmost reliance is placed by all parties in the firmness of the Lord Lieutenant, and on his known determination to maintain that tranquillity by all the means entrusted to his hands. He will no doubt wield with a steady bat discreet hand the sceptre of authority, and will not per mit his Councils to be inspired by any other than that equitable policy, which, from the commencement, has marked his public admi nistration. Deploring, as wo all must ? the turbulent dissension which unhappily prevails be tween the Protestant and Catholic leaders, it is gratifying to find the humble and indust r i ous classes keeping aloof, and cautiously abstaining from every thing like violence and intimidation. We place but little stress on those persuasives to peace and good order on the part of the Catholic orators, which interlard those speeches, the indi rect tendency of which is to irritate the liveliest feelings, and to inflame their worst passions. We do not Impute to these oratorical leaders any deliberate wish to instigate the lower classes of their brethren to turbulence and crime ; on the contrary, we sincerely believe that they have no other aim than to display their own fervid eloquence, and to figure in the brilliant reputation of their own rhetoric : and if their speeches—impassioned and impressive as they undoubtedly are—went no further than the ears of the reflective assembly to whom they may chance to be addressed, whose good sense would keep them from delusion, or whose prudence would restrain their excitement—in this case the evil would perhaps not be great ; but when these speeches are telegraphed by means of the press, which disperses them into all quarters, and places them is all hands—when they are made, by this means, to stimulate the ignor ant, and inflame the bigoted—when all their maddening energy is poured, au it were, into the current of the national feeling—the result becomes perilous in the extreme ; all the sluices of iniquity may be opened upon the convulsed empire, with a destructiveness which those who thus unintentionally opened them may be wholly unable to stop. [TIM PUBLIC LEDGERI Austria appears to be dreadfully ala rme d a t the tottering state of the Ottoman Empir e ; and it is confidently stated that she is formin g a n Army of Observation on the Turkish frontiers, that she may not be surprised by occurrence s ._..., Most of the German Papers have noticed, with an expression of astonishment, the military preparations of that' power; and the fall of the Austrian Securities shews there is some ground for this extraordinary rumour. — For the purpose, probably, of concealing the real object of this armament, it has been stated, that the plague, which had broken out in Moldavia and Wallachia, renders the formation of a military cordon necessary. But Austria, it is well known, always maintains a force on her frontiers, more than adequate for a service of this kind ; and moreover the plague remits its ravages at the approach of cold weather. Therefore this explanation will not suffice ; and a far more satisfactory reason presents itself in the dangers which threaten the Porte in consequence of the successful progress 'of the. Greek arms.— Every year that this conteit has lasted, h as se en the crescent become paler ; and should it l as t a s many years longer ) it is probable that Its light would be extinguished altogether, at least on this side, of the Bosphorus. The Court of Vienna, justly perhaps, apprehensive that Russia would take advantage of such a circumstance, and alarmed at the idea of a further aggrandize ment of a Power, whose greatness is only sur passed by its ambition, may see the necessity of making a great effort• to avert the ruin that plainly menaces the Porte. A Congress, in which the affairs of Turkey are to be dis cassed, and an army to enforce its decisions, are the expedients which the Austrian Court is said to have proposed to the other G rent Powers. With the army it is meant to overawe the Porte, whose obstinacy might prompt her to oppose a scheme designed for her benefit ; and it will be sufficient, it is arrogantly supposed, to notify to the Greek rebels the Decree of an European Congress, to enforce their immediate submission. But the obstacles to this plan are much greater than the Austrian Cabinet is willing to see. The French Government, we understand, is un friendly to . any plan for coercing the Greeks to submit again to the Sovereignty of the Porte under any terms ; and has tried, it is said, to bring over our own Cabinet to its views. The French proposal is to make Greece entirely in dependent; and it is the more probable; as no thing would be more acceptable to the French nation,_ which has uniformly expressed the strongst sympathy in favour of the Greeks. That the Greeks will not be found so pliable as the Statists of Vienna expect, may be affirmed with some degree of confidence. tHORNINC HERALD.] Though use is described to be second nature, and though even dirt is known to be agreeable to those who become habituated to it, yet there are some things which even long experience can not quite reconcile us to, and among these we may number London noise, which the veriest cockney in existence would be glad to be rid of, of whom it may be said,"iu the words of the poet, " —.Evadere ad auras, Noe opus, hie labor est." Looking upon the rattling of carts and car riages, beyond their being a proof of wealth, commerce, and prosperity, as blessings of a very questionable description, we have been induced to hail, with, as we now fear, somewhat too eager an anticipation. Its abolition by means of Mr. M'Adam's new system of road-making.— We fear that we have been by far too sanguine upon the occasion ; and that it is high time to arrest the pulling up of any more of the pavement of the streets, bad as it is, till the substitute pre sents a more promising appearance than it at pre. sent puts on.

Notwithstanding the heavy drawback to com merce at the port of Bristol, sae are informed that several Bristol Dock Shares sold last week for upwards of 1001. each share, being 801. more than they would have fetched a short time since. ( Bath Journal.) TIIE PLYDIOUTII BREAK.WATEII.—The account we gave in our last of the damage which this structure had sustained during the late gale was strictly correci. Great quantities of stones were by the violence of the sea thrown up from the south side,rolled over the top,and plunged into the Sound on the north side. The surface which before the gale was nearly level, is now a complete mass of irregular stones without form or order; the whole appearance of the erection is quite changed. The gales which have occurred since that on Tuesday the 23d have also contributed to the destruction; how far the real extent of damage may be we are not enabled to state, but, if we might judge from appearance, we should imagine it to be grea t.—(Devonshire Freeholder.)

OLD BAILEY, DEC. 7. CONDUCT OF TIIE SUMMONING OFFICER. On Saturday last a disclosure of certain reprehensible con duct on the part of the officer appointed to summon juries for Middlesex, came 'out by accident. When Mr. Ames, of Lower-street, Islington, applied to be excused from serving in thd evening, on account of urgent private business, the appli cation being refused, Mr. Ames stated that several of his neigh hours had been excused by paying a gratuity—hence he con sidered that those who never tampered with the officer should be allowed a reasonable indulgence. This statement led to an inquiry, when Mr. Griffith Todd, and several other gentlemen of the Jury, fully established its correctness. The Court then ordered the case to be brought forward this day, and gave notice for the Summoning Officer and his deputy (the person charged with taking bribes) to attend. At 9 o'clock this morning, Mr. Serjeant Arabin, Sir James Shaw, and Alr:Sheriff Brown took their meats : whereupon Mr. Shelton, the Clerk of the Arraigns, inquired whether the officers whose presence was required were in attendance ? when hp was informed that the principal was in COurt, but his deputy was not. Mr. Serjeant AItABIN then asked whether the gentlemen of the Jury who on Saturday made the accusation were present, as a long list of names had been given in ? Mr. Wontner said he was informed that some of them were coming. The Learned JUDGE said that a number of persons made statements the other day, which, although inculpatory of their own conduct, insomuch as they had been induced to give bribes to avoid a public duty, yet they had, by such statement, acted, when called upon, in a most candid manner. Ile could not, however, but express surprise that the parties were not in attendance. A gentleman in the jury-box said, that the jurymen who were the principal complainants came principally from the Islington district ; but there w er e s evera l t o a t ten d f rom hi s side (Chelsea) of the metropolis. Pursuant to the request of the Court, he gave them notice yesterday. Sir JAMES Straw then gave directions that officers should be dispatched immediately : but the Judge said,. it was expe dient to know whether the parties implicated were in attendance or not. The Summoning Officer then stood forth, and stated that the person who acted as his deputy (and who had been accused of malpractices) left town yesterday for Bristol. JUDGE.—How came it that lie left just now, when lie must have been aware of the requisition to attend the Court ? Officer.—l believe he is gone in consequence of the death of a brother, or brother-in-law. Alderman.—This conduct is extremely wrong. It is only a fews days since this matter was before the Court, and it is impos sible but to think that the party whose presence is required must have known of the fact; or, if he did not, it was the impera tive duty of the summoning officer, who is answerable for the conduct of those he employs, to have informed him. UnG E.—Officer, you were here on Saturtlay,and heard what passed, and what the Court ordered. It was therefore your duty to have produced your deputy, or have communicated with him as a matter of course. Pray, Sir, have you seen him since Sa turday last ? Officer.—(Hesitating.)—Yes, my Lord, for about three mi nutes, but "I said nothing about it. Alderman.—Upon your solemn oath did you not tell him of the charge brought against him on Saturday last. It seems im probable you should'have overloOked it *hen its importance to you is so very considerable. Officer.—lndeed I did not. _ _ _ Mr. Sheriff' IInGWN here interposed, and said, that he knew how to deal with the officer who had been guilty of such blatneahle neglect in not giving the information required by the Court. Ju DO E.—There is no excuse for such conduct. This sum moning officer was here, and heard what passed. Ile then exculpated himself in the best manner be was able. The Court, in order not to interrupt the pressing business then before it, and in order ti allow reasonable time, postponed the investiga tion, and gave strict ord ers th a t th e p ersons w h o were su pp ose d to have taken bribes should have been in attendance. It ap pears, however, that the parties have met, and the officer, whose duty it was, for his own sake,"to have done so, has ne glected to tell his deputy of the matter. Ho knew the case de manded inquiry to-day. The officer replied that he was not aware that it was speci &ally ordered for this day, but the Judge appeared to doubt the assertion. Sir J. Shaw again expatiated on the extraordinary and cul pable conduct of the officer. It was quite clear from the ac knowledgment of respectable persons, that bribes had been ten dered and refused ; therefore, as the matter involved the privi lege of all persons eligible to serve on Juries, and the dignity of the Court, as well as the character of one of its officers, he would again express his determination that the subject should be fully investigated. The CO UILT then conferred for a considerable time ; after which, SIT ;TAMES SHAW sllid, the Court had come to the deter. mination that a public prosecution should he instituted against the summoning officer, and that process of action should issue forthwith. The communication was deprecated by the officer, who re minded the Coutt that he hoped they would alter their deter mination, on account of having a large family. Mr. Serjeant AttAn►x told him he had no right to complain, as he had brought all upon himself by his own conduct and wilful neglect. —The matter here terminated for the present. James Cox, aged 17, stood indicted upon a charge of having received a watch from -- Carroll (who was convicted a day or two back for stealing the same watch), knowing it to be stolen. T. Poole.—l am a labourer , at Acton ; I gave a watch to Mr. Foster to be cleaned. Mr. S. Foster.--I am a watch-maker at Acton ; the last wit ness give me a watch to clean : on the following Wednesday I went out between 3 and 4 o'clock, and left my wife at home ; lett the watch hanging in the window; when I came home about 5 o'clock, the watch was gone ; I saw It on the Saturday after, in the possession of the constable. Sophia Foster.—l am the wife of the last witness ; he left me at home on the Wednesday ; after he was gone, Carroll came in and asked what would be the expence of repairing his watch ; I told I could not tell. About ten minutes after he was gone, I missed Mr. Poole's watch ' • I did not see the pri soner at all; before Carroll came in, I had put the watch on the counter. _ _ Wheatley.--I live with my brother, who is a watchmaker at Hammersmith. I remember a cart stopping► next door, in which sat the prisoner and Carroll; the latter came into the shop, and was talking to my sister. I heard him say he wanted to look at a gold seal ; she sent me for my brother, and on my return with him, I met both Carroll and Cox in the cart. Wheatley.—f am watchmaker at Hammersmith. I re. collect being fetched by my sister to the shop, and on my ar rival discovered that I had been robbed of a gold chain ; my sister told me, the person who came into the shop had got into a cart, in which was another man. I then pursued the cart, and saw it in Phillhnore-place, Kensington ; the prisoner was upon the pavement, out of the cart ; they were both taken into custody, and searched ; Cox said he knew nothing whatever of Carroll; they were searched by Bayley, the constable; there was a watch found on one of them. Bayley proved having been sent to take the prisoners, and that he searched them, and found as above stated. Daniel Harwell--I am hostler at the Ited Lion, Acton, and saw the prisoner come in company with Carroll in a cart, to bait the horses at the inn, as well as to dine. This being the whole of the evidence on the part of the pro secution, Mr C. Pim.t.irs begged to submit to the Court, that there was no case to go to the Jury, upon these grounds. The prisoner was in this in s t ance i n di c t e d - for receiving (and not for the theft) the watch, knowing it to be stolen. Now, he contended, that as it had been, Cox - had gone in the cart with Carroll, and must have waited outside during the period occu pied in the commission of the theft, Cox must be considered in the light of a principal in the crime, and not as a receiver.— Under thaw circumstances, he (Mr. Phillips) submitted, that no case had been made out against Cox to go to the Jury. Mr. SerjeantAnanni having overruled the objection, sum med up, and the Jury found the prisoner Gnilty. ki.ANSLAUGIiT M..... WiMam Sparks was charged with hay. tug struck H. Smith, and thereby caused his death, The pri soner was sitting in a public-house, in the palish of St. Leo nod, Slioreditch, with a little dog in his lap, and the deceased coming in, said, " That's a pretty dog." This led to further conversation during which the prisoner hit the deceased upon the bead, who ied within six hours.—Two surgeons, however, who had open the head, said, that its appearance was such as not to make the to say positively that, his death was caused by the blow received horn the prisoner. The Jury, therefore, under the direction of the Judge, acquitted the pnsoner. EDINBURGH AND GLASOOW RAlLWAY.—Extract of a letter from Glasgow, received yesterday, dated the 4th last, : " A numerous meeting of Noblemen, bankers, and principal inhabitants of this neighbourhood, took place yesterday, for the purpose of regulating a great national concern, a railway between this and Edinburgh which will connect the trades of the German and Western ' Ocean.

I intmediet elI went, and on entering the bed-chamber found the deMs, lying with her clothes on. I asked what was the matter, an d the deceit:4ld answered feebly, that she was very ill, and that it was all the effect of passion ; I asked her why she put herself in a passion, particularly when she was situated as she sal (the deceased was in her last month of pregnancy') ; the a ce.* ed said that she and her husband had had a few w ords,. and that she was more to blame than he ; that he had st a yed nut later that night than she wished, and that she flew at him di' reedy he opened the street-door. I told the deceased that it would have been much better if she had held her p e ace in her present situation; deceased said she wished she had. No further conversation took place at that time; I undressed her, put her to bed, and sent for Dr. Harkness, who immediately attended. 1 remained with the deceased all that night. After Dr. Harkness went away, the deceased said she was getting very ill, and desired me to call her husband to the bedside ; on his approaching her, the deceased said, " Joseph, 1 hope the Lord will forgive you and me, for one is as bad as the other; be kind to my babes, for I am ►oing to that place from whence I shall never re. turn." I desir e the husband to go again for the doctor , and net to come back without him. He did so, and Mr. Harkness On attended. The deceased became more c omposed, and told me she thought she had broken a blood-vessel. Shortly after this, sh e , asked me if I did not think it would have been b etter if she ha d told the doctor she had been kicked by her husband. I per' suaded her to' tell the truth, which she agreed to do. On Wed nesday she seemed somewhat better, but in the course of the day she became worse, and expired about ten o'clock on that night. In answer to a question from the Jury, the witness said that the deceased had told her before her death that her husband tli had given her a dreadful kick. Mrs. Sarah Croker sworn.—On 3londay night I was als . o t requested by Mr. Eldred, the husband of the deceased, to vim his wife, and found her in bed as described by the last wit.ness: All her care seemed to be for her husband and children, and she ascribed the cause of her indisposition to the effects of pas.: is o i n on th . e ii l nn ob r s , e w rs i T i t e l h aft e r a t re q d ua n T . ity of bleod about the bed, and reside at her head, and said that if she ever got over it, site hopetlett I e d z ens El e i t. z i a , a n n e d yn n o n h i i n s y sw es o k rn in .— g Ihewraswhsaent taifloerdohnerTushesedsahyl,f would give her grace to overcome her passion.
