THE LONDON -JOURNALS. DA I IX Extracts from the Morning Papers; Sept. 7. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] loVc are happy to learn, that the official ac. counts received by Government from Buenos Ayres are of so satisfactory a nature that it is in contemplation to enter into arrangements with the Government of that State, in which it will be considered as independent. This measure will be followed by the formal exchange of Ministers. Roy 4r. EltOG AT' VES.—The Kings'of France and Englind indisputably possess some enviable attributes, the union of which in one person would be unspeakably desirable. His Most Christian Majesty, it seem!, can never be ill, and it is a constitutional maxim that the. King of England never dies ; nay, what is more remarkable, though he never dies, yet he may be born just as olten as► is agreeable to him, and in that season which best suits his convenience,—thus our pre sint Gracious Sovereign has two birth clays every year, and might have three hundred and sixty live if it seemed good to him. The Kings of England also can never do wrong, and the Kings of France may keep as many concubines as King Solomon, without shocking their Bishops ; it would seem, however, that our sovereign has the advantage, all things considered, for the privilege of tint being able to do wrong gives the hand somest and most desirable sweep to Royal actions.—(Xbiti.) [Tile TIMES.] Letters were received yesterday from Rio de Janeiro, dated the '2'2d of June,and which bring down the intelligence from that place four days later than the previous arrivals. The alarm was still kept up respecting an armament from Lis bon, and had hod the effect of almoit wholly paralysing commercial operatic:ns. The Emperor and his Ministers manifested unceasing activity to place the city and harbour in the most com plete state of defence. An order had been issued to put in requisition every fifth•sluve for the ser vice of the Government, to be employed in tile cepair of the fortifications. This state of things hod hail the elfcct of provoking great animosity on the part of the Brazilians against the native Portuguese resident in Rio de Janeiro, many of whom felt so insecure on that account, that .they were endeavouring to convert their property into money or biils ,in order to retire to Europe.--, The Getters! Assembly of Deputies from the Brazilian Provinces held • their first sitting at. Rio de Janeiro on the 21st of June, but the Emperor did not attend on that occasion. His proceedings, or rather those of his Ministers, fur Don Pedro himself has credit'for honest tions,ivere watched with some distrust, the source of which it is difficult to collect from the events that transpire publiCly. The only circumstance alleged at all bearing a suspicious character, was his •uhceasing endeavours to create lIMOng ranks of the army a strong attaehmentito his' gerstp),_ which is more easily explained by his fears of the ascendancy of the Republiciiii party, than by any treacherous intercouse with Portugal, the danger of which was every day becoming g reater. A considerable number of the troops had been embarked for Praya Grande, on the opposite side of the bay, where the officers and men were gratified by splendid 'entertainments; at which the Emperor assisted in person. Whitt ever his secret views may be, it is not difficult to foresee that the future history of the heir appa rent' to, the throne of Portugal is pregnant with great events. A mail arrived yesterday from Buenos Ayres, with letters to the 26th of June. By this packet has come passenger M. Itivadavia; through,.whose wise administration for the last four years .that State,has been enabled to make such rapid ad vances in prosperity. Ile was in fact at the head of the Government, though he bore only the title Of Principal Secretary of State. It is said that M. ftivadeviahas entirely dosed his political career with his - resignation of his late office, and that he intends to retire to private life ; but it - is ObVtons that his residence here, or in any part. of Europe, may, by the very general knoWledp of, and confidence in, his character,: be'made - - productive! of great good , to Ayres,. a s •,5, ‘ 411. , as to the great cause itself/of . South American independ ence. The' following- is• tin extract from the Buenos Ayres paper entitled The Argos, of the Zid of June, which came by the same convey ance the various articles of price Communicated from Salta by the last cou riot., who arrived at the end of the preceding week, is the report that in Cabija, a port of Ata cama, had disembarked General Miller, belong ing to the Army of Independence, with the title of General of the Vanguard. In this army were expected 2500 destined to act against the, Roya list General Olaneta. It is positively stated, like wise, that Brigadier Espalier°, the particular friend of Gen. La Serna, and much compromised in the' plans of commatid in which that Gene. ral insists, under condition of playing the prin cipal part,, had embarked under pretext of pro. seeding tn. Spain, but with the real object of go. lug to another quarter to combine plans of im portance. By the same convoy it is communi cated, that the Constitutional General Valdez, having I.),:;en much weakened In Morn, had been conducted to La Paez, where he died in a few days. If this news be true, Olaneta has lost one of his principal rivals, Ferdinand VII. one of his greatest enemies, and the cutuse. of independence one of its most zealous supporters."—(/bid) LMOUNINa tiosT.l Our express brought us last night French Papers to the sth inst. and the Etude of Sunday.

His present fall of Turiffa. Majesty has long been unequal to the conduct of public affairs, though by no means ceasing to feel an interest in them. Here it is that the great danger lies. If there was any prospect that the Prince who must speedily mount the throne would take a inure generous view of things —that he would act on more enlightened prin. ciples, ond proceed in the spirit of a more liberal and conciliating policy—then indeed the present oppressive system might be borne with: there would be the supporting consolation, thatit would be soon at an end. But, unhappily, there is every prospect that the same course of adminis tration will be acted upon with redoubled vigour —that all liberal institutions *will be repressed with a still more precipitate zeal, and that the dominant power of the present Ministry will dis. play itself, if possible, in a still more insulting spirit of aggression. This it is that gives room for apprehension as to the stability of the Bour bon dynasty, and which puts at risk the trailn quillity of Europe. [MORNING HERALD.] Saturday's Paris papers arrived last night. The 'health of the King of France, as far as any opi nion can be formed from them, remains unchanged. He hears . Mass, gives audienc'e, and transacts business, but does not go out. Ile has signalised his birth-day, or rather his patron Saint's day, in a manner that deserves commendation, by a great number of pardons or mitigations of pu nishments to convicted criminals. It would also seem as if he wished to depart in peace with the Royalists, or their survivors of La Vendee —some of whom have received marks of Royal remembrance: The King of Spain is stated to have an attack of the gout. Ile however con tinues to issue Royal Ordonnances, the latest of which directs a general purification of all the Spanish militarb whether employed or on the retired list. .The purification prescribed appears to be adopted from or drawn up by the Inquisi tion. A list of questions, of the most pinching kind, is drawn up, and every individual called upon to answer them—relating to his acts, his opinions i his private and military life. It might be supposed, after all that has passed . in Spain —after the formal purifications through which the Soanislv.army, if, indeed, there be such a thing, has been already put, that it was rectified to the very quintessence of t.'4.rvilisso. .Yet the IC in g of Spain is not content, and feels unsafe. This shows only that new danger is felt and pressing—and affords a presumption that the insurrection in the South is not yet wholly suppressed. Of this affair there is no mention in the papers.—The Ex. Minister Chateaubriand is rpttstned to Paris from Switzerland—probably watching an occasion in case of the Ring's death. The fact shows what strides the security and li betty of persons have beets carried in France within.a,few. years. Under the old MOnarchy— even after it was limited under Louis XVI., a distniSsed . Mbiister received sentence of banish . most. Necker, when dismissed, was banished to to Brussels even after the Revolution. Under the Republic,, a diimissed Minister was fortunate if he "saved his head. Bat M. de Chateaubriand Islay come to Paris and beard his adversaries. [NEw Times.] There was little or no variation yesterday jo the Public Funds, Consols closing at 9-o i . for the Account. The Foreign Securities were equally stationary at the closing prices of Saturday.— Notwithstanding the exposure of the Poyais scheme, it is confidently asserted that a similar project is in embryo for raising a sum in the form of a loan to his to/ disant Serene Highness the Cacique. The present Bonds are 4f.per cent. We have received private letters of the 4th instant from Paris, which speak of the King's health as apparently not worse than it . his been for some months past. The lethargic oppression, which affected his Ma jesty some weeks ago, is no longer trouble some ; and though his time of life and general habit of body cannot permit the expectation of a much longer reign, yet a change is thought by no means so near at hand as was lately rumoured.— The . 001411 Authentique and Time List give the prsces of the rentes for money, lolf. 65e.; for account, Unf. 85c.; but business is said to have been heavy. The Saturday's papers, and the Eloile dated on Sunday, are. remarkably barren of intelligence ; the only fact deny interest which they notice, is the return of M. De Chateau briand from Neufchatel in Switzerland. lie had been thither for a short time to join the Vis countess, who it is said means to take up her abode in, that country ; and his visit to Paris is probably for the mere purpose of making some literary arrangements : there is not the slightest idea that this journey has any political object.— [BRITISH PRESS.] The present state of the public mind in France, con►bined with the revolting system of policy put.. sued by her present rulers, cannot fail, we think to lead to some dinstrous result. The period is near at hand which must try the strength of the opposing parties. M. Villein and his most de voted adherents in the ,Ministry have pressed forward with a violent of towards the de. struction of the Public Press, and of all that freedom of thought and action which invigorates the liberties, while it perpetuates the strength, of a nation, But,this their progress of deipotism will assuredly have its re-action, and they will not be able to stand the shock ; this re-action, it • • mo On Thursday has been degrees in the shade--n greater degree of heat than meter stood at 89 he ther pier of Margate were light night the town and experienced 4)nhu rs i a n y e e 1112 t d r the direction and su ed with gas for the first time, • perintembince' which the Contractor for the Isle of Thanet Oas have been completed in about four months.

Parry and Truss, as coachinakers, in I. oregate.street, in this city, has been again destroyed by a fire, as rapid in its ravages as any we everrecollect. It appeats that on Wednes-- day night some of the work men were employed on the premises, in finishing a carriage lin a neighbouring gentlemem, and that they left the alloy apparently perfectly safe, about nine o'clock. On the following morning, about half-past three o'clock, one of the donicaties I.ooogin ,, to slrs.

It had broken out in a room occupied for the same purpose as that iri which the lire in February, 1823, ori. gined, and apreati with amazing quickness into every part of the building. The.englnes were promptl y on the spot directly after the alarm was given, but in th e onset t h ere was a deficiency of water. This circzinstanec, however, was of little consequence, as the progresi of the fiery element was so qui& as to baffle all attempts to.eheck" it.

He appeared firm but resigned, at the place of execution, and ad dressed the crowd in a very .audible yoke, solemnly declaring that he had no concern whatever in the murder of the late Mr. Power of Benvoy, of. which report hiul accused him at the per petrator); that he never was at Bnivoy in his life, and was even ignorant of where it was situated ;. and that be never at. tempted, or intended to attempt, to take the life of any indi. ' vidual. He made no publie observations with respect to the crime for which he suflyered ; but we understand that previous to his being brought out, he admitted that he had committed the robbery, but asserteei that the only articles which he took from the prosecutrix were a piece of muslin (about seven yards). a bottle containing some spirits, and the handkerchief in which they were tied. The respectable clergyman who attended him, anxious to prevent his thoughts from being distracted by a va. riety of topics from the great concerns of cternity,dissuaded him from publicly speaking on this subject, and induced him to con. fine himself' to the solemn disavowal of the other heinous crime attributed to him by common report.—( fralerfbrd Chronicle.) An Inquest, under very extraordinary circum stances, has been held at Ramsgate, by D. HODGKIN, EN. Mayor and Coroner of .13andwich, and also for Ramsgate, which is in the jurisdiction of that ancient town and port. It appeared that some time since a woman named Mason, resid ing at Ramsgate, corrected her little girl with a severity which was thought by some, to say the least of it, very unjustifiable. At any rate, we do not wi s h t o c ha ra ct e rize it more partici'. larly for the present. Reports soon Fot about that the poor child had died in con sequence o f th e inju r i e s it had received. The Magistrates, as In duty bound, immediately directed an inquest to be held on the body. A Jury was empannelled on Wednesday last, and proceeded to examine the witnesses. A neighbour deposed that the body exhibited no marks of vio. lance, and that the child died from the effects of fever. Mr. Snowden's medical assistant said that the body exhibited alarge black spot upon the left side, apparently caused by 'a violent blow ; and that a blow given in that part would infallibly occa sion death. Mr. Pettnm, surgeon, of Ramsgate, who opened the body end examined the internal parts of the stomach, &c., was now called upon to give evidence. To this, Mr. Pettman re plied, that he had fully made up his mind before he came there not to give his evidence on oath I—in which determine. Lion he persisted. Mr. Hodgson informed him that he should adjourn the inque s t t ill S atur d a y, the 211th ult., when, if h e still persisted in that Course, he ,Moult( be under the painful necessity of committing him for refusing to give his evidence. The Jury accordin g l y again assembled on Saturday, b u t M r. Pettman had, in the int erim , l e f t Ram agate. The Coroner, in con sequence, issued his warrant for the apprehension of that ge nt l e . man, and Sladden the constable was dispatched to endeavour to apprehend him. The Jury again assembled on Monday ,evening last, and was furthet adjourned till tomorrow (Friday) at ten o'clock. The unhappy mother during the whole of this time, is detained in close custody, and there . appears little chance of the inquest being terminated until the evidence of Mr. Pettman can be obtained. Sladden • had not succeeding in finding him at the time of our going. to press, but wits still.in pursuit ,Thus this curious affitir rests at present. We shall present our readers with the result, if possible, in our next....( A - en ( Herald.) .nDINBUIIGIT, SEPT: 3.—Yestfirday afternoon the Caledonian Horticultural Society celebrated their Fifteenth Anniversary in Oifian's Hotel, Waterloo-Place; J. A. Mur ray, Esq. Advocate, in the Chair. Upwards of 180 Gen defiler!, members and visitors, sat down to dinner, iinions whom were-- The Right Hon. the - Lord Provost," Admiral Sir Philip Dun fiam, Sir A. Keith, J. J.. Hope Veie, Esq. William Trotter, Esq. of Ballendean, Leonard Horner, Esq., Professor Keyser of Christiana, the Chevalier Alasclet, French Counsel, the Itev. Drs. Inglis, Brunton, anti Lee; Dr. Duncan and Mr. Greville acted as croupiers. The dessert was furnished.by the competitors, and consisted of no less than 272 different dishes of fruit, among which.were some very fine pine apples, melons,. and grapes, also peaches, plumbs, &c. On the cloth being removed, non -nobia Domine was sung by Messrs. Lees and Atkinson. • The CHAIRMAN then gave" the King—the patron of horti culture—to whom the society were particularly indebted.."-- The King's Anthem. " The Duke of York and the Army," and " the Duke of Clarence and the Navy," followed. - The CHAIRMAN then rose and said, that he would now call the attention of the meeting to what more itnmediately in terested them—Success to Horticulture in Scotland. Horti- Culture was a study in which the best feelings ,of our nature was excited ; it was a subject upon which it was unnecesary to say much—it was the occupation of an . honourable and use ful class of men, the gardeners—it was . the amusement of the clergyman, the physician, the country _gentleman, and the nobleman—to all those classes there was no 'amusement more rational or more interesting. Indeed we learnt - from the father of Philosophy, Lord Bacon, that gardening is the 'parent of natural pleasures. The same philoiopher estimates the pro gress a country has made in civilization, by the progress it has' made in gardening, saying that it is more easy to build stately houses than to dress fine gardens. After such high authority, it was unnecessary for him to say a word more. What they had that day seen was a good illustration of the truth 'of the saying of that learned individual; for this country, which at one time produced little better fruit than brambles, had now, through the persevering skill of her sons, given a sample which, whe ther for quantity or quality, could hardly be rivalled in Europe, " Success to Horticulture in Scotland." The CHAIRMAN begged to propose the health of the indi vidual whose long life was in itself a particular illustration of the benefits, both bodily and mental, which are to be derived from the study Of horticulture. He need hardly name the in dividual to whom he' alluded, they all knew, and were sensibW of the many obligations which they lay under to him. " The health of Dr. Duncan."—(Loud and continued applause.) • • The Doctor rose, and returned thanks for the very flattering manner in which the company had received the toast. He hoped . all Who heard him would feel as much benefit and plea sure in their eighty-eighth year from the study of horticulturel as he had done. He would say no more, but propose as a toast those ladies who had sent the home-made wines—these wines were specimens of what could be produced from Scots fruits. " The Ladies of Scotland,"--(Applause.) The CHAIRMAN begged to propose the health of a distin guished individual—a practical horticulturist—and a man to whom his fellow.citizens.were under the deepest obligations. He gave the health of " The Lord Provost." His Lordship returned thanks. The CHAiitm - AN said the only difficulty he felt in proposing the next toast, was the pointing at any one class of the community more than another. Men of all ranks, from the highest to the lowest, patronised this society, but particularly one class—he meant the clergy of Scotland. The presence of some of its most distinguished members was a good proof that the object of the institution met • the approbation of that venerable hotly. Ile should therefore propose the heal ths of" Dr. Inglis, Dr. M 'Gill, 'Dr. Brunton, and the other clergymen who had honoured them with their company." - Dr. INGLIS returned thanks. Ile said that he took great delight in Horticultural occupations, and he was sure that the whole of the Clergy wished well to the society, and would use their utmost endeavours to forward the institution.—(Ap 'dense.) The Loan Puovore called for a bumper, which, he said, he wished should be devoted to a gentleman who was deserved ly the honour of his profession ' and who stands at the he a d o f the bar. Ile was indeed so well known, that in a company such as the present, it was unnecessary to say more than give r as a toast, the health of " J. A. Murray, Esq., the Chairman."— (APplause.) • • Mr. Pirtritaity said, he felt proud of the honour conferred on him, but his honourable friend had made a slight mis take, andit was a proof that he (the Lord Provost) did not trouble the law much, or he must have found that instead of being at the head of the bar he (Mr. Murray) was very near the bottom of it.—(Applatise.)—lle was now on his legs, and It occurred to him that there was another duty lie had to, perform—tile meeting had all admired the' dessert which, had been furnished by the competitors; and the com pany had a debt of gratitude to discharge to those gentle. men. At the head of that list he found the name of Mr. Dick, gardener to Mr. Trotter of 13a11endean, then followed Mr. M'Donald, Mr.• Ifl'Naughtan, Mr. M'Oregor, and others. The labours of these gentlemen were proofs of what may- be done by the skill of a Scots gardener, when aided by Scots patronage. " The health* of the successful Com petitors." Mr. TROTTER. said he should ever be most happy to im prove the quality and increase the quantity of the fruits. The CHAIRMAN said, he now begged to propose the health of an individual to whom the Society lay under the most weighty obligations. Every body must have some member. more active the other spring within the spring—some moving p tl o nin wer to set the whole machine in motion, and the Society had found that great spring in Mr. Neill, a gentleman to whom no mark of gratitude limn the company can possibly repay for the anxious interest he had ever taken in the welfare and prosperity of the society.—However inadequate he was to describe his good q ualities, they could all estimate his worth. Th e h ea l t h of " P. Neill, Esq. Secretary."—(Applause.) Mr. NEILL returned thanks. _ The CllAlnabor, in giving the toast of "Success to the hor ticultural garden," called the attention of the company to the many advantages which would accrue to the community from) . * that garden being in the neighbourhood of the city, and from the introduction of many foreign plants. Mr. HonNEIt said, the Chairman had alluded to the experi mental garden. He would give the Garden Committee ;—if he might be allowed to use a metaphor, the Meeting knew them by their fruits. He would give the " healthaof Professor Gra ham, Dr. Greville, Dr. Duncan, Mr. Ellis, Mr. 111`Nab, Mr. Warigor, and Mr. Li nn i ng , t h e Garden Committee." Dr. GREVILLE, in absence of Dr. Graham, returned thanks; remarking of the merit s o f D r . Graham and Dr. Duncan, he would say not a wotd, but for himself he was totally unworthy of the honour conferred on him. He thought that great advan tages would be derived from the Situation in which the garden was to be placed—its contiguity to the botanic garden, and for this the society was much indebted to the Crown and the Ma gistracy of Edinburgh, and also to the curator of the botanic gaalen, Mr. M•Nab. He would give as a toast, the " Royal Botanic garden of Edinburgh." Admiral Sir PHILIP HENDERSON DURHAM proposed the health of that friend to agricultural improvement, " Sir John Sinclair."—(Applause.) The CHAIRMAN gave the healthsof " Mr. Knight, the pre sident, and Mr. Saville, the secretary of th e L on d on Horticul tural Society." The latter gentleman was to the London So. ciety what Mr. Neill was to them :—farther comment would therefore be waste of time.—(Applause.) The healths of " Lords Lauderdale and Rosebery"—by Mr. Hope Vere. he CHAIRMAN, in proposing success to horticulture in France, said, we had how become rivals to our southern neigh bouts in the making of wine. She had not much, however, to fear from our rivalry, for she was favoured with a milder cli mate ; and, besides, she had been making wine for some hun dred years, while we had only now begun to do so.—(laughter.) Mr. MASCLET.—France was very fond of Pomona—she had made her a spoiled child ; but he had no doubt his countrymen would he highly flattered and pleased, when they read the ac count of this meeting. The CHAIRMAN gaits, " Success to horticulture in Ame rica." An American gentleman returned thanks. • The CIIAIRUAN said he had almost neglected to drink the healths of the absent metuber-but if they were absent, they must not be ill pleased at those who were present being some what absent in regard to them. They were, however, deserving of the respect and attention of the meeting. Many of them liv ed at a great distance, and could not attend. " The Duke of Gordon, the President, Sir George Mackenzie, Mr. Jardine, and the other absent members, and may they meet with the so. ciety at its next Anniversary." Mr. HOPE. VEaE begged to propose the health of the Chairman a second time. As by a slight lapsia of the Lord Provost, he had disclaimed the honour conferred on him— lie proposed to drink the health of the Chairman as a citi zen of, Edinburgh and the prince of good fellows.—(Loud up. plause.) After a number of other toasts, the company separated highly gratified. A number of songs were sung, by Alr. J. Gilchrist, Air. Oliver, Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Ritchie. Besides these gen. denten, Mesirs. Lees and Atkinson exerted their vocal powers for the gratification of the company. The celebrated overture to the Opera Der *Freischntx is to be performed at the Worcester Grand M us i ca l Festival, by the excellent and numerous band, LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD.
