l' ~i ~.; El 'LONDON- JOURNALS; DAM- Extracts from the Morning Papers ) Nov. 26. . , , •, • „. • Lr#E TPoIESa . The,ctohns of ~the Irish have led 'to a discus - - Sion of their religion,, at which we are not sorry ; for while England, continues, in its present en , lightened , state there can be no question what will be,* effect on, tlic public. mind of a free . debate respecting. the peculiar tenets of Popery. The Catholics,also,.we hear, have found a per tisan in old Cohbett, , Neither are. we.sorry for, that :..he wilt be of great service to them,' no doubt 4, The advocate ittwOrtily of the 'Cause. He can also help ,has clients_ to a relic or two, if . they, „need such things ; for he has got ToM Paine's bonea,, as he..pays,, somewhere or other' in his keeping.. The time may come, when Thomas .Paine,shall, canonized for his. services by the. Itotnish _Chnrch. HoWever, we ?odd, 'gravely and .seriously, draw a dis tinction between. the,. errors of _Popery,, .and the, claims of thole 'who profess it to political: privileges. Que,,questiOn does not decide the other,ln reason, though, in point of fact, a full exposition ofthe practices,of the Catholic Church will operate fatally against, the admission of its members to . eparticipationof equal rights - With theirfellowsuhjects. The course that the Ca tholics: should, pursue, should be, to keep their foreign faith out of sight,,and to urge their claims; as men. The Catholic faith is—we hadelnuistH said, unhappily—t'estored. in Fraiice ; and our readers may take one, among many, 006' . stances, as a proof of the consequence. In the Church of St. Genevieve, the Patron sho`,Saint of the Metropolis, .is some rublash or other . piliced in an old coffin, which is declared .by authority to be the body of the she-Saint; and human creatures (we blush that we belong to the same : race), are . seen, kneeling before the shrine every hoer .of the day., The same church is . surrounded by.Pic, tures descriptive of the.miracles,of St. Genevieve : in one, if we recollect riihtly, angels are con ducting her through a wo o d : another, she is staying. the plague of Paris; and Priests are, ern ployed—Jesuits, and Missionaries, and to brutalize the whole people down into a state at which they shall be. capable of believing these absurdities. Is not no religion, or simple Deisni, better than such a religion as this ? Again ; there are two beads of John the Baptist at this timei before which the Catholics kneel--(we know those who have, seen them)-one in and,. the, other .in Belgium; andy .NOgent-le- Rotrou, in France, are . the brains of John the Baptilt, in the ,very, chapel in which Popish priests having Offered indignities to the' remains of the illustrious Sully,' as an- Hugunot.• And here' we must observe, that it is not sufficient for the Catholics to say. that the errors which We have been describing is not their faith, (mare not essentials of it, They exist wherever Popery exists ; and the Catholics are not' like other sects —they have an infallible head of' their Church, whom all are bound to obey. Why does he not root out such absvirdities-4-why does he not pro: bibit.them ? What would St. Peter, whose re presentative he claims to be, have done in such cases ? ' But why do we talk of the Topes, or of the distant parts of their spiritual dominions, when .there is scarcely , a .stone show. i n Rome itself, particularly those of the Virgin Mary, '" the Queen 'of, Heaven," that hai not spoken ; the Pope himself, for the time being, by - a written docuoient openly ex= hibited, asserting the truth of the miracle, and granting " plenary indulgence" in consequence, to those who adore before the brute image. W . ourselves saw the liquefaction of St. januarius's blood at Naples; and our readers may rely on it, that the fellow who is now going about the streets. of London exhibiting Punch and his wife, performs a more respectable trick. Yet a Car 7 dinnl presided—Ecclesiastics of every degree assisted. It was in the time orMurat ; and there being a 'disposition in the Church to thwart the Usurper, he sent word that if the miracle were not performed within halt an hour, he would shoot two priests whom In. named : Jannariuti melt ed within the prescribed time. Why, we again ask, if these frauds do not belong to Poperp;--if they, do not make a part of itare they allowed to 'be performed in the hosoni of an infallible Church, with an omnipotent' Head ? But' the omnipotent Head, and infallibleChurch,..are par ties .to, and sanction the. frauds. The Catholics, therefore, would do well not to speak of their religion and their Church, while, they are con tending for their rights as men. . [MOIiNING POST. We. received last night, 'by i,xpress, French _Papers to the 24th inst. and the Eloile of Wed nesday. They inform us that the Emperor or Russia had ended his tour, which seems not to have been as extensive as it was originally intended, and had returned to. his palace'of Zarskojeselo. Whether political reasons, or theauginenting cold of the season, had interrupted his progress, is not mentioned ; but the latter can scarcely have been the cause, for had he descend. ed. towards the Crimea, he would have en joyed a much milder temperature than in his old dominions. He may, however, have. eousidered his presence unnecessary in that quarter, in consequence of the solemn assurances given by the Divan that Moldavia and Wallachia should be evacuated. But as counter-orders are said to have been issued since the app)intment of the new Grand Vizier, and the two Principalities are .to continue in the occupation of Turkish troops, the Russian Autocrat must have found hy this time that he has been completely trifled with, and that his dignity suffers from the tame r "SS with which lie.bas hitherto borne ail 'the in, suiting caprices or the Porte. At .the date of the last advices, the Plague had not yet entirely left Bupliar a est,. but though th e alarm Was_great, the cau l or illness were f ew , and tha *Cautions /aloft were so wiSe and so strict, ,that it was not believed the visitation coUld,,be of long Conti. nuance. eitEss.) The Paris Papers of Tuesday, which arrive'd last night, are quite barren of domestic intelli gence. The Eloile, dateMednesday, gives us some, further inforpation, of, the endeavours Ferdinand WI; to restore the: cclesiasticardisic cipline of the Council .of Trent. The plague has disappeared in~ Wallichiit; .Count .de - hi Puebla del Masetre, the Spanish AmbassadOr, has ar rived di, Paris. Charles the Toni, Maintains his character for activity. On Wednesday morn ing, at eight o'clock, he; was to' visit the church of St. Genevieve; at nine he was to view the New Exchange ; and at twelve he was to preside over a Council of Ministyrs. The papers,belong ing to.the Royalist opposition' seem completely at a loss how to proceed. They.no longer indulge in the violent language in' which some time ago ' they assailed the Ministers, and unfortunately they have no' foreign news to' put into, their cos . lumps. The Journal des Debuts of Tuesday -is principally occppied with an elaborate criticism of the discourses of St. Basil, St. Gregory, and St. Chrysostom, and . the Quotidienne i 5 filled with an historical essay, on the French Monarchy.-- The anecdote we give from the Constitutionnel re specting M. Franchet and the gardener, is a fine illustration of the mode in which the law is ad ministered in France. We believe there is no longer any doubt . as to the unfortunate misunderstanding that has taken place between Lord Amherst. and Sir Edward Paget. According to all the accounts we have heard, it is clear that the Commander-in-Chief has not been treated by the Goveruor-General with that attention to which his rank, character ? and services entitled hiM, and he has, therefore, felt it his duty, in self.defence, to apply for leave to return home. , The feeling in India is, we understand, decidedly favourable to the gallant General ; and we do not apprehend that the difference, to whatever changes it may lead, is likely to deprive the Indian army of its Com. mander.in.Chief.—(ibitl.) [NEW TI M ES,] Yesterday afternoon an Express was received, bringing accounts from Paris to Tuesday evening. The French Funds appear to preserve an equal degree of stability with the British. They closed on that day at 101 f. 70e., being aslightimprove. client on the price of the day preceding. We have seen a private letter, dated from the French cupl tal on that day, in which the writer states, that " M. Villele had declared, that although the pre .parations were ostensibly continued for the re turn of the French troops, negociations were still pending, .which might occasion a delay in their retiring to any extent." The private advices generally concur in stating that-the most perfect good understanding - exists between the French Cabinet and other European Powers. The ac. counts from the coast of Spain notice several' captures to have been made by the Algerine cruisers; who had approached to within a Own distance of Cadiz. Yesterday was the account day on the Stock Exchange. It passed over without any occur rence deserving of notice ; the prices of Consols, contrary to general expectation, did not expe- rience any considerable variation ; the last prices were 951, and for the Account 951 to 96. There was no alteration in the state of the. Fe. reign Securities, in which very Halt; business was d one . Mexican Bonds closed at 664 ; Spanish Bonds t,21; and Greek Bonds 53f. French Scrip was a degree lower, and in the French Rentes there was no business transacted.L-Anoth er n e w Speculation, the " Colombian Mining Company," 'was yesterday much talked of in the City ;:.the Shares were understood ,to be at 5 per cent. pre intutn.—(lbid.) lIIIE PUBLIC LEDGER.] We'have received the 'Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday. Their contents, however, are de void of interest, excepting, perhaps, an article from. Madrid, of the 11th inst. announcing several diplomatic appointments from that to other Courti. —lf the .intelligence it contaios be worthy of credit,, we may congratulate England on being included, at last, in the number of friendly Powers, and of being soon honoured by the presence of a Representative of his Catholic] Majesty. The person on whom this selection has .fallen. is said .to be the Chevalier Camillo los ,Rios ; and though his merits are unknown 'abroad, they may rank, for aught we ,know to, the contrary, deservedly high at hoine. 7 —How. ever, Ferdinand, it would seem, could not confer upon us this favour, without playing ,off upon us one of his sly tricks at the same tinte.;_ for we observe that Senor. Mourado, Com Mis. donor of Liquidations, has been recalled from . London. This Statement, If true, will retard, of course,, the. settlement ,of the dispute accounts ; and the English claimant may, in the interval, console himself as .well as he can. It is true, another Commissioner is. named ; but he. is discharging at this time the duties of Spanish Consul at Washington ; and thtts a- period ,of three months, at the very lowest computation, will be gained by thi thrifty Monarch. But Fer dinand is a wag as well as an adeptin- the art of putting off his creditors; for this sudden diplo. inatic bustle, on the eve of the departure of the 'French iroopsi looks as if he made the measure a subject of pleitsantry. Ile- would have it c ons i. dered as a 'restoration 'te his , full rights of sove reignty, whereas he was only half a King whilst a foreign army, occupied his. kingdom. Let us hope that his present good humour will sustain no,check, and that the restoration to the full exercise , of his. power ,may not be ,attended with the consequences which some timid persons ap prehend.. In the mean time the preparations for the removal of the troops is proceeding without interruption ; and every thing announces, on the part of the It;rencii, Government, a determination to carry it into effect. „, . [mourn:l4 cnuoxtcr.E.] As Historians of the clay, we are often obliged to describe scenes which reflect, honour neither on the parties who figure in them, nor on the national.characler. Among .the most disgusting exhibitions of the age, Boxing Matehetcertainly occupy the first rank. As performances, they would seem adapted only for savage life ; for though boxing has been dignified with the title H of •science, so -little of ..science or skill has yet Veen displayed_ ,that the, cOmbatants allow them selves to be :perpetually struck, and evidently have not,, like fencers, any knowledge.,of gnarls. 2Phe spectacle ianeither characterized - by. beauty nor the display of ingenuity. .There is, how ever, the, anxiety ,respecting the issue, which is like games of chance' to people who do not know how to kill their time ,; and .there is 'the emotion produced . by the sight of mangling and suffering: To a,. coarse . and. sluggish diSposition, the view of men, covered over bloods their faces laid-,.open with deep gashes, placed in a state of insensibility on shutters, with the glutstly took of death 'discernible in such of their features as can. be seen through the gore— ail this . must be a pleasnre of the highest Order. Boxing, badger and bull-baiting, beitic-fights, and all similar displays of animal energy will always be attractive to a coarsepeople. The rage for these coarse spectacles merely proves that there is a large portion of the community to whom they are a congenial entertainment. They are black guard exhibitions; but so long as the black guardism exists, and the grossness of propensity, the exhibitions will follow aa.a natural conse quence. Minds of a better order will not be contaminated by them, because in such minds they will excite only a feeling . , of disgust. --The Newipapers would not ' exhibit 'the . age if they, did _ not exhibit this very pre valent though disgraceful taste, The taste it self may be met in two ways, either by the strong hand of the law, the worst mode - that can be adopted, it is like skinning over a bad sore, or by the improvement of the general character and the general taste. A great deal may be said - in favour of the .coarse propensities' of a large por tion of our population. 'What with the opera tion of vagrant laws, the war waged against all in nocent amusements, the depriving them of a thou. sand little p tea su res l open'to the lower orders ofthe continent, such as dancing, music, &C. they are`in some sort. driven ,to.the public-house, and these coarse exhibitioni, whether they will or not. Men cannot be always toiting,und if-they are shut out from refined amusements they will have recourse to.coarse ones.' The higher ranks of this country seem to view with particular jealousy all indul gencies on the part of the people which are not of the grossest kind. There is no - lack of hu manity or charity, but they cannot sympathise . with their mirth or gaiety. LONDON Cil YMICAL SOCIETY. The inauguration .of Qflicers of this Society was performed last night: atthe City of London Tavern, in the presence of a very numerous assemblage of Ladies and Gentle men,. the greater part of whom .had become members of this institution for the promotion or one of the most useful and ht. portant branches of scientific knowledge. . Athalf-past. eleven - o'clock, 'the President; Dr. BritturcK entered the room; accompanied by the Vice-Presidents and Committee. . • Maiteco,. the Chairman of the C , ounittee, Wok the Chair, for the purpose of opening the busineas of the Society. Ile announced that the labours of the Committee for the for mation of the institution had 'terminated ; and the Secretary then read their report, which . detailed the origin and prelim. , nary progress of the business of Society. . Dr. Btit Ec K. then took the chair, anddelivered ' an eloquent introductory lecture, explanatory of the' objects of the &arty, and of the general principles Of chymistry, -illustrating- as he y Pr t r e t r i e ca w l a e s x a Per p i e llEl T : p il i t e s pi t ty h7 i % a el t e h m is entary parts 9f his discourse.. L o r n a e b . - lecture which was, very creditable to the Pr esident.': He did not, after the fashion of higher and more pretending names, consume a large per. tion.of the time of his auditory with a disquisition upon the etymology of the term chynastry, but went at once like a practical flier), intending to convey as rinich.tisefid information as • he tould through the popular and conipandious (Hutu of a lecture,. to. apply the ; principles of chymistry to the great phenomena of nature, and to show their more immediate and essential connection with the business of life, at once stimulating and, directing those, who had taste and application for such a pursuit, to those sources of inquiry where alone they could competently obtain the information which they sought. Il e described Abe Universe being pregnant with unceasing variety, . and explained the progressive .de. composition o; matter, which, is in constant action. Ile then explained the' two distinct series of the phenomena belong int; to the planetary system, and to the animal world—the one fixed and immutable, the other actuated by. motion, perceptible and imperceptible. The object of chymistry he described as being to discover and' explain the changes of integral particles of diff'erent bodies, and their action on each other ; and he enlarged upon_ the necessity of promoting that object by such a co-operation as the present Society atibrded, powhinini.f scientific withpractical men. Even the value of the 'aes in the pursuit of this stuiltite dwelt upon; and alluded to the Wiirks of Miss Lowrie, to Mrs. lilarcet's Conversations on Chnihdry, and to Mrs. Fulham's book upon comßustion, as il lustrative of their powerful assistance. It was in vain, he said, to explore who were the, remote and antediluvian founders of science, who invented the first plough, or hollowed* out the first canoe, although it' was necessary to touch upon the histo. rical progress of the particular science which this Society was established to promote. The Learned Doctor then took a rapid view of the operations of chymistry in the middle ages, when in the hands of the alchymists, who worked so much delusion by a combination of ignorance and knavery, and dis. tin"uished the practical from the Impracticable parts of their study—the failure :of their success in endeavouring to make gold, but the importance of their discovery in making Dres den china. The first book of real practical information which he quoted was that published in the year 1650, entitled Phytiea Staterranea ; and from that he passed to the enumeration of the labours of the illustrious Lavoisier, and from thence to the experimental labours and discoveries of Sheele, Black, Bergman, Cavendish, and Priestley, concluding the list of scientific benefactors of our times with the name of Sir H. Davy, upon whose important discoveries he pronounced a warsu panegync. lie then briefly considered and explained the laws of attraction and repulsion, and illustrated the former by ex. hibiting two pieces of leak the smooth surfaces of which were brought in contact by the adhesion 'of what is called cohesive force, anne demonstrated the latter by showing the repulsion evinced by th e b utst i ng o f t h e p ar ticles of a glass drop, when broken in a p ar ti cu l ar manner . It was this prin. ciple of repulsion whi c h b e e x pl a i ne d k e pt gaseous matter in - a state of elastic fluidity. The learned-Docwr then explained the principles of the. two kinds of attraction—of electricity and magnetism, and their opposite polarities, and opposite forces ; and proceeded to illustrate what is termed the attrac tion of composition, by exhibiting the combination of two drops s l to . of mercury, and the mode of combining polder of magnesia with water by a solution of nitric acid. He next . pointed out the connexion between mechanical form and chemistry, by ex periments made in the receiver of an air pump, by combining the pressure of air with fluids, such as porter, water, Ate.

Ile concluded by exhibiting specimens of the great it ' a u e burningoc modern discoveries—portable gag, ' the; safety-lamp.; and • the protection Of capper, bottoms 'from the decompo s ing power of . salt water : he bestowed the warmest praise on ,Sir Humphrey for these two last moat beneficial discoveries. The lecture did not terminate until ten o'clock; and was loudly and deservedly applauded. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE: "- CA3tattmor, Nov. 25.—At a Congregation on .

Perhaps there is nothing calculated to 'make so deep an iMpression upon criminals who are not altogether abandoned, as *the prepara tion!, or pornpa mortis, of - islewgate. - The entrance of the Sheriff's to the cell of the culprit devoted to .death—the pinion ing., of the arms' of the poor wretch by theofficer—the awful march of the execuffoner, 'and the others who assist in putting the extremity of the-law into effect, along the narrow passage and windings of the gaol—the - solemn tones of the Ordinary bidding an everlasting farewell in the impressive language of Scripture—all combine to render the scene the most.terrific to' those who have run a similar hazard, and who occasionally, as the proceisiori advances; catch a glimpse at it through the liars of their prison-house. • When Mr. Fauntleroy heard the death. bell toll he fell upon his knees, and prayed for his fellow-auf feterliho was about to leave the world.

SWINDLING EXTRAORDINARY.—SeVerII.I of the most respectable tradesmen westward have,within these few days, been laid under contribution by a very novel mode of fraud. A. person calling himself T. Titiallan Thomas Wentworth, of the Lodge, Warwick, has sent various liberal orders to silversmiths, coach-makers, witte-merchants, batters, and,others, written in the most imposing style of deception, requesting certain articles to be forwarded to him at Warwick, and referr- ing to an agent in town, a confederate, no doubt, for the satisfaction of ,the parties ; and such has been the credulity of the tradesmen, that many have sent the required orders without mak ing the necessary inquiries, from the high tone and. specious character of his communica tions. A winemerchant, . who bad forwarded a pipe of fine old port, first suspected something wrung, and on posting down to Warwick, found his customer ,caged, a prisoner in the gaol for debt, from which, place he had writ. ten. for rn and obtained an immense deal of valuable property in the . way described, and by the re-sale, :of which be , was just. about to effect his escape, when., the duped creditor .arrived and. lodged, a detainer. ; against . him. — It will scarcely be ,4elieved„thp, number and 'amount of frauds he has iu,this way, succeeded in completing.
