TIIE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Pe:per: l July 16 EItOIINTNG POST.? The Foreigh Journals which reached our Office last night state, on the authority of letters from Augsburg!), that the conferences of the Ministerial Congress at Johannisberg continued to attract more and more attention from the ar rival of fresh Plenipotentiaries, although nothing transpired respecting their object. The absence of an English Representative at this assembly gave rise to many conjectures, but tended upon the whole to increase the popularity of England, as it was believed that she refused to participate in the discussions, because she knew that they were fiostile to the rights mid independence of nations. It was affirmed that Sir Henry Wel lesley, the British Minister at Vienna, haul been invited, like the other Foreign Ambassadors, to attend, but that he had immediately declined.— Of this no doubt can be entertained after the public assurances given both by Mr. Secretary Canning and the Earl of Liverpool, at the close of the last Session, that England had again rejected the proposal made to her to become party to a Congress. The only result of the present con ferences yet known is said to be, that the Wir temberg Minister for Foreign Affairs had suc. ceeded in obtaining the restoration of diplomatic relations between the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin and that of his Master. [muTisu enEss.ll By the Flanders mail which arrived last night, we learn that the Porte still continues, at every risk, to delay the evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia. The English and Austrian Ambas sadors had beets pressing the Divan very ur gently, in consequence of dispatches from Count Nesse!rode, the Russian Minister. The Reis Effendi had had recourse to every pal try artifice to waste time, but the patience of the diplomatic body is nearly exhausted, and all the expedients of the Divan must give way to the obligations of treaties and the force of circum stances. From Constantinople we hear that much murmuring has taken place against the conduct of the Captain Paella, whose landings on the Greek shores have in every instance been repulsed. The mysterious conferences at Johannisberg are con tinued. It is said that Sir Henry Wellesley was invited to attend them, but declined. [MORNING HERALD.] Two of our contemporaries have been several days amusing their readers with a censure and defence of Ministers for not having sent their carriages to follow Lord Byron's remains out of town. We know of no one who can be interest ed in such mummery, except the undertakers. Funeral ceremonies, beyond those of religion, are questionable at the best ; and have generally been deprecated by wise men ; but when it comes, as it now does, to thu downright folly of a man s e nding his carriage and servants to the obsequies of his friend, instead of attending larnself, it may be fairly inferred that humbug has arrived at the climax of absurdity. [NEW TUSIES.] The funds were: yesterday again slightly de. pressed from the effect of the account to be set tled this day. Consols opened at 94th and in the afternoon were at 944 a•, at which price they closed. The prevailing opinion appears to be that the prices will recover so soon as the ac count is adjusted ; money continuing so abund ant, and likely to receive so important an addi. tion by .the amount of dividends payable to the Public. The settlement of the Account in Foreign Securities which took place yesterday, Was attended by' an event of into rather un- COMMOIar—DO less than four failures were an nounced, two of them to a considerable extent, and their losses are said to have been occasioned principally by the very material changes In the 'able of South American Securities. A re port was circulated of an- attachment having issued agabist the proceeds in the hands of the contractors of the last loan to Colombia, by a creditor of the Government; but there appears some doubt as to the legality of such a proceed ing ; it had however the effect of lowering the Scrip to 51 discount, but it finally closed at 41. It was said the Peruvian Scrip had been sold at the large discount Of 30 per cent. The instal ment upon the last Mexican Loan having been paid up, the Bonds have been brought out and closed at 531. Portuguese Bonds 88. In the other securities there was no alteration deserving notice. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] PAR/E, JULY 13, 1824.—Whatever the Mini sterial Journals may say, the sending of nano verian troops to Portugal occupies the attention of the Cabinet of the Tuileri e s. Thi s event, which M. de Villele was far from expecting, brings a number of delicate matters under dis cussion which were thought to, be already decided. —it has been proposed in the Council to cause Portugal to be occupied by 25,000 French troops, and M. Pozso di forgo is the Author of this plan. This [salt European question, and puts all the Am bassadors of the Holy Alliance at Paris in motion. Even the Austrian Ambassador has shaken off the gravity and reserve of the German character, and has mingled officially in this matter. Sir Charles 'Stewart has already exchanged several notes with M. de Wide, and the result is, that Prince Paul 'Esterhazy set out yesterday for Londen. It is said, that the result of his mission is to persuade the Cabinet of St. James to leave things statu quo, and provide for the interior tran quillity of Portugal by other means. The Holy Alliance dreads a rupture, and, notwithstanding its exaggerated pretensions, will make many sacriftces, rather than disturb the general peace ! 'Fite arrival of the Haitian Commissioner' fins been already mentioned. lie is come to nego date a treaty with Prance, the bases of which are to be the same as were proposed in 1814 by,M.. iiftWonLoreysse, the igen t of Louis X VI I T., and whet tra3 after disgracefully disavowed. The rage far tegitirmt7 1; la etrong t that it has'passed :from Europe to America ; and the Negroes also ore determined, at any price, to have a legitimate government. However this may be, the prelimi naries settled are a treaty of Commerce, entirely in favour of France, a pecuniary indemnity grant ed to the ancient Colonists or their Representa tives ; and?on the other hand, the recognition of the Republic. It is supposed, apparently with justice, that the whole of this pretended negocia tion has no other object than to sound opinion,and to provide the means of immediately bringing back St.llorningo under the dominion of France. A cor rect calculation published some time ago, shewed that the black population was gradually diminish ing. Fre nce,therefore,isgradually attaininga power which will enable her to accomplish this by force. As to the affair of the Quolidienne, with respect to the Circular of the Archbishop of Toulouse, it is a true German quarrel. In the requisition of the public prosecutor we recognize the secret vengeance of M. de Villele. Not being able to oust M. Michaud from the property, the object is to condemn him, and annihilate the Quoli dienne, which they could not buy. The whole of this miserable intrigue is only a contest be tween the persons in power and those out of office, and if M. de Chateaubriand was to enter the Ministry to-morrow, he would the next day find a good reason for praising those he now at tacks with so much animation. [THE TIMU.] A Parliamentary Return relative to the Clergy of Ireland was printed towards the close of the last session ; having been rendered necessary, we suppose, by the dispute between Mr. Plunkett and other members, on the question of non-resi dent incumbents. Towards settling the question between the champion of the Irish Church and his adversaries, much depends on the sense in which we employ the word " non-residence." Mr. Plunkett, for instance, alleges rather stiffly, that the clerical non-residents of Ireland do not amount to more than about thirty persons. Now we have just had time to look over the returns from the four archiepiscopal dioceses, and from the two suffragan Sees next in succession, and there we, have reckoned between seventy and eighty ab sentees—exclusive of cases where the livings are " very small"—where glebe-houses are only " building"—where age and infirmity incapacitate, and therefore excuse the absent clergyman, and so forth. Mr. Plunkett, however, we shall be told, confines the term 46 non-resident" to the case of what he calls " culpable absence," or, in military parlance, 44 absence without leave." We disagree totally with the Right lion. Gentleman. In our minds, when the general state of the Church of Ireland is considered, and a complaint brought forward of the lamentable frequency of non-resi dence, it is no excuse whatever to say that the non-resident has a faculty from the Primate, or a privilege from any superior authority, to shirk his parochial duty. Such a pretext only aggra vates. the evil, because it would go to prove that the Bench of Bishops were parties to the corrup tion of the Church Establishment of Ireland.— Nor is it a more plausible defence to say, that a clergyman having two parishes cannot reside in both ; for, once admitting that the parish which pays tithe has a' ri g ht t o th e serv i ces of him who ' receives the tithe, the difficulty of dwelling in two places is nothing more than an argument against pluralities—against a man's undertaking duties which it is physically impracticable to perform. But the truth is, that the Church of Ireland stands on a footing altogether unsupported by any known theory, political, moral, or religious. Bow far any conceivable modification a church, exacting its ermiluments from the bulk of a nation whom it does not repay by even the shadow of those benefits for which every Christian church ought to be instituted, can ever be made an instrument of good to Ireland, we shall not now discuss.— it is, we know, asserted, that the more the residence of the Irish clergy is enforced, the greater the irritation that will be excited among the people—we mean the Catholic people—who look at them rather as engines of exaction than of instruction. And although this maxim has been laid down by a Catholic, and must there fore be estimated with all the qualification be longing to the judgment of an acknowledged enemy, we may assure ourselves that there exists in the popular mind of Ireland a strong predis position on which to rest it, or Bishop Doyle would not have stated his belief with so chuck easy confidence. At the same time, we cordially disclaim for ourselves any participation in the sentiment of that gentleman, from which an infe rence disrespectful to the personal characters of the Irish clergy might be drawn ; for we are well persuaded that the vice is inherent in the system, and that the most earnest advocates for the pu rification of it are to be found amongst that clergy UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE.---Yesterday morn ing, between three and four o'clock, as Tyrrel, a constable, was on his rounds, be observed the parlour ►►indow of Mr.. Rogers, 34, North-strand, open. A man was in the parlour. The constable alarmed Mr. Rogers, who descended, but would not open the door. Procuring the aid of the other watch men, one, of the name of Fitzpatrick, en. tered the window, and was proceeding to open the door for Tyrrel, when Rogers, mistaking him for the robber, stabbed him twice in the hall with a bayonet. Meantime the robber effected his escape by the rear of the house. Fitzpatrick has been removed to Jervis-street hospital.— ( Dublin Correspondent, July 13.) 114.4111tRAULE COINNDENCE.—Three cousins, of the name of Bancroft, all of Box, Wilts, were killed last week, viz. Thomas, on Thursday, at Monckton-Combe, by the wheel of a waggon going over him ; Robert, on Saturday, by fall !ng from it building at Twerton ; and joit, also on Saturday, by falling from the battlement of Mr. Long's house, at Farley ; a round of Elm ladder broke just as he had gained the top. They have all left widows and families. A watch-dog at Pit keathly-wells has formed such an ardent attachment to a rabbit, that both daily prowl about in company. The mastiff's love for the race extends no farther ; for ho generally devours all the others who come within his reach. --(Dundee Advertircr.) THE LATE THUNDER STORM. IFURTUEft PARTICULARS.] The intense and glowing heat of the atmosphere for several days past rendered it obvious to the meanest philosophical capacity, that the clouds must have been charged with an excessive por tion of combustible matter, the release of which was anxiously looked for, in the hope of the air again becoming supportable. Between nine and ten o'clock on Wednesday night this wish was awfully accomplished. The rain descended in large drops for some minutes, and the clouds im mediately over the metropolis assumed a thick lowering aspect, as if collecting force for the ap proaching elementary contest. At a quarter after 9 o'clock, the noise of distant thunder, with intermit. tent flashings, announced the approaching storm, which almost immediately became universal. The rain now descended in torrents ; the sky entire ly overcast by dense clouds, emitted not a ray of light ; and the awful gloom which thus en shrouded the city was broken only by the vivid glare of the blue lightening that momentarily illu minated the horizon. The proximity of the clouds to the earth rendered the effect of each shock proportionably great : the concussions were not only powerful, but rapid in succession, communicating a very sensible vibration to many houses, the foundations of which wero literally shaken by the mere force of sound, for in no other shape (if the term may be so applied) did it visit the metropolis. From the Bridges the view of this war of elements was awful, splendid, and sublime. The firmament, as, we before observed, being totally obscured, gave additional effect to the coruscations of a liquid flame, which streamed at intervals through the horizon in forked and fanciful lines, dis. playing in its splendid track a partial view of the river, its banks, and their various ob jects. The roar of the thunder formed a most suitable accompaniment to the display of this magnificent scene. In the environs of Lon don the storm raged with still greater violence, and has left, we learn, more visible marks of its fury. Near Brixton the fall of rain was exces- sive, at some periods assuming rather the descent of a water-spout than a natural shower. The peals of thunder were less distinct here than at other places ; but the lightning was fully as bril liant ; and several trees (one in particular, a fine old elm in the demesne of Herbert Forster, Esq.) were quite scathed. At Vauxhall Gardens, where the rain fell as heavy as in the city, when the water-spout like a torrent fell, several persons thought that some pipe connected with the hydraulics had burst, and called out to that effect. The broad expansive illumination of the lightning, when contrasted with the mimic blaze of the artificial lights and fireworks, was awfully impressive. In the East part of London much damage has been done by the rain. The gratings of the sewers being stopped, caused many plac e s to form a sheet of water a foot or more high— such was the state of Lower East Smithfield and many parts of Wapping. In Goodman's-yard, Minories, the water was above two feet high.— The different wherries on the north side of the River, at break of day, were nearly full of water ; so much so that at Billingsgate not a boat could be put off to the Dutch ships, for eels, &c. till discharged of their water freightage. We have net heard of any particular damage amongst the shipping in the lower part of the River, which, we hope, have escaped. The arrivals in London yesterday by the mails state it was one of tine most awful thunder storms remembered for a long time. Its connmencetnent at Ports mouth and Hastings was at half-past seven in the evening, and continued with little intermis sion all night, accompanied with heavy rains.— The horses, in some instances, were almost un governable. We have not heard of any particular accident having occurred to any of them, and all the mails arrived in due time. At a piece called Bluster, between Banbury and Loudon, two cows and a bull were killed by the lightning, several houses .were unthatched, chim nies thrown down, and much mischief done. At some distance from London the storm corn meeced at an earlier hour—in the neighbourhood of Broxbourne, in Hertfordshire, as early as be tween twelve and one o'clock in the day. The showers of hail were excessively heavy, and hail stones %sere picked up of extraordinary size. Some of there were one inch and a half in diameter, and almost every pane of glass was broken, from the ten mile -stone at Enfield Wash to Hoddesdon. Sir A. Hume, at Wormley, bury, has suffered con siderably ; the Rev. Pickthall, at Brox bourne Vicarage, and Mr. - Waller, of the Mill, have also sustained considerabl e loss. Mr. Wallace, a carman of Dartford, Kent, had one of his horses killed by lightning during the awful tempest at the door of the Swan Inn, at Cray ford. One of the leaders of a Cranbrook e van, on being brought from th e s t a bl e , was di scovered to be blind. Another horse was killed near the Green -man, Blackheath. The visitation at Hempstead and Ifigbgate was terrific in the ex treme ; the houses literally rocked ; and our informant (a gentleman residing at ,the former Place) assures us that some chimney orna ments in his drawing -room were thrown down, and broken during the awful vibration on the building, which, be is convinced, must at one time have been st ruck by lightning, the brick work round the upper windows being completely blackened. In the neighbourhood of Greenwich, and for a consid era b le way along the, banks of tine River, the destruction of property exposed in the fields has been, very great ; three sheep which ) no doubt terrified at the storm, had kept close together beneath some trees in a field beyond Blackheath, were found dead yesterday morning, the wool being perfectly singed by the electric fluid. In various other parts of the country hay and corn, in stack, have been thrown down and much da maged. In every quarter large forest-trees ap pear to have principally suffered, which circum stance should operate as a caution to persons against seeking shelter beneath them in such cases, a custom which is too commonly adopted. What is not a little remarkable, there was scarce ly a breath of wind the entire time, so that there is no cause to apprehend marine calamities. LITERARY NOTICES. The CZAR, an Historical Tragedy. By JOSEPH CRADOCE, Esq. M.A. FAA. This Tragedy was written by the gentleman who was the Author of ZODEIDE, a Tragedy that was represented with success very many years ago, and which possessed so much poetical merit that we are surprized it has not been adopt ed by the Managers, and included among what are styled stock pieces, which are occasionally brought forward. The heroine of ZODEIDE was Mrs. YATES, one of the greatest Tragic-actresses of her day, and whose talents and beautiful per son at the time were calculated to give popularity to any dramatic composition. The Czan was written about the same period, and had the countenance of Mr. GARRICK and Mr. SHERI DAN, as appears in the correspondence prefixed to the play. Why it was not represented is not explained, as Mr. Sn ERIDAN requested the Author to bring it forward. It is a composition of con siderable merit, and would doubtless have been very attractive. The fable is founded on histori cal facts, with such additions as were necessary to increase the interest of the story, and to soften the character of the CZAR. SHAKSPEARE, with wonderful success, contrived to palliate the furi ous nature of llENity the Eighth, and to give his brutality the appearance of honest bluntness and rough dignity. Mr. CRADOCK had a similar dif ficulty to encounter in the character of the CZAR, in order to mitigate the horror arising from the repudiation of his QUEEN, Mid the mur der of his son. The character of Oltokesa, the Czar's first Queen, is well-drawn. The indigna tion of insulted virtue, the pangs ~f jealousy, the affection of the rejected wife, and the tenderness of the mother, are painted in striking colours. CATHERINE, the second wife, is a model of ge nerous sensibility, and the CZAR is shown in all his turbulent grandeur, with however some touches of parental contrition, which, though history with holds from him, he doubtless must have felt. A ItTAMON, the perfidious and cruel Minister, is ingeniously made the father of CATHERINE, which accounts for his determination to ruin the QUEEN and her son, in order to exalt his daughter to the throne. The pathos of this tragedy main tains a strong interest through the whole. The author, we understand, is very far advanced in life, but is in full possession of his faculties. Ile has been connected with some of the chief charac ters in this country, as well as with many dis tinguished foreigners, and is held, we are assured, in the highest respect by all who have the plea sure of knowing him. The publication of this Tragedy is intended as the precursor of works that are likely to extend to four octavo volumes ; and the manuscripts and other documents have been carefully collected, that nothing unauthen ticated may be given to the, public after his d o -, cease. But, advanced as he is in life, we sin cerely hope that he will still be preserved to his friends, to revise his own works, and to wear the Laurels which w e are persuaded that he w ill justly acquire, long before the Cypress shall wave over his grave. FIFTEEN YEARS in INDIA; or, Sketches of a Soldier's biro. 1 Vol. tivo. The perusal of this interesting volume has af forded us considerable amusement, and may be read with profit by all persons desirous of ac quiring a correct opinion of India. The gentle man from whose journal the book is compiled, resided in India from 1805 till 1819, and during this long period of time, and being often em ployed upon active service, he had many oppor. tunities of visiting the most interesting parts of the Peninsula, and of becoming well acquainted with the manners and opinions of the natives.— The author has availed himself of all the oppor tunities'so offered to him, and has presented the public with a book not less pleasing than it is instructive. In short, we may safely say that the, author has attained the object he informs us that he had in view, of affording information and entertainment. his opinion of the Hindoos is unfavourable, but we fear correct. They may be a mild, but they are certainly a corrupt people. Among them, indeed, " vice glares with specious and bold aspect," and this he justly attributes in a great measure to their gross and disgusting idolatry. 4 4 The mass of the population is in a state of monstrous depravity. Lying and perjur ing are so common, that an oath goes for nothing in a Court of Justice. In Bemires, when Lord Va len tia visited it, there were four hundred natives who supported themselves by giving false evidence in Court." In another part of his book lie says that lasciviousness, falsehood, and selfish ness are prominent points in the character of the natives of the Carnatic. According to our author, the Madras Presidency contains a population of about 15 millions of of 50,000 m en , a revenue of about millions.s:tils'lil arm yanl a half, and it debt of 9 millions and a half. The Presidency of Bengal has a po. pulation of about 30 millions, an army of 60,000 men, commanded by 1,600 European Officers, a revenue of 10 millions, subject to an annual charge of eight millions, with a debt of 20 millions. Calcutta contains about 600,000 in. habitstnto. The whole of llindostan is estimated at 1,020,000 geographical miles, and contains 101,000,000 of inhabitants. Of this the British actually possess 400,000 square miles, and a po pulation of full 60,000 souls. Whilst the con. trout of the East India Company extends over not less than 776,000 square miles, having 86,000,000 of inhabitants. The regular army now consists of about 150,000 men, 30,000 of which are European, chiefly King's troops. The whole is in a most efficient state, but our author Justly considers, ns a radical defect in the organi- zation of this army, the impossibility of a native officer rising higher than the rank of subadar, which is subordinate to an ensign placed in the same company. Another defect is, that in the European part of the Company's army, non. commissioned officers cannot rise to tho rank of ensign:. It appears that the account of the Nalri, given by Bartolomeo, was tolerably correct, when he imp, that in Malaintr several' brothers had one and the same wife. " Xt is laid there are eleven tribes of Nairs, in all of which property is di. vided equally among the sons and daughters of the deceased's sister, for no man knowns his own child. In some of the tribes the Nairs marry, but never cohabit with their own wives, who are at liberty to grant their favours to any male of equal or higher rank. In others, particularly the Shekarry family, the males never marry, but attach themselves to ladies belonging to the same tribe. Their sisters reside in their houses, and the children they have in this lawful way are heirs to the property. This, though scarcely credible, is perfectly true." Though less formidable than they once were, the Seiks are still very powerful, possessing the province of Labrore, the whole of the Pangab, part of Moulton, and most of the country be• tween the Jumna and the Sutluge. We must conclude, by once more remarkingt that upon the whole, much useful information may be derived from a perusal of the present work.

This was an appeal on the CUURCII part of Chris t Church, Newgate•,. street, against an order obtained by the parish of St. Augustine, for the removal of a pauper, named John S'arrid.ge, and affords a curious specimen of the manner by which it is contrived to swell the article " law expences", to the excessive amount that it generally appears in the accounts of almost every parish.-- The expellees of this appeal, even bef ore i t cam e to the f i na l hearing, Mr. Law on the last adjourned day observed, would, have purchased a sufficient annuity to have maintained the pauper fbr the rest of his life. From the history of the case as it came out in evidence, 1t appeared, that the pauper, who is now nearly 37 years of age, was the illigitimate child of Mary Ann Surridge, a servant girl, by one John Meredith, who at that time was a waiter at the New London Tavern, Cheapside. The settlement of the mother being clearly in Christ Church, the overseers of that parish, knowing her to be pregnant, took her before the Lord Mayor for examination, on the 10th of J u ly, 1787, an d, u pon her oath, obt a i ne d a warrant to apprehend Meridith, the reputed father, when Mr. Lewis, his master, settled the business with the parish officers, by advancing for his waiter 101., which they received as an indemnification. The woman was delivered in the October following, and on the 3d of Jan., 1788, the child *let baptised at Christ Church, th e en t r y in the book noting hint to be apauper and a bastard, with the letters C. C. annexed, to signify that he belonged to Christ Church and not to Saint Leonard's, Foster-lane, Christ Church and St. Leonard being united parishes. It was in evidence, that Christ Church re lieved the mother, both before and at the time of her delivery ; and on the 26th November following, that is, as soon as the child could safely be removed from the mother, took him hit(' their workhouse; at the proper age, got him into the ward school, and had continued to relieve hint almost constantly during a period of nearly forty years down to the present tune ; and so, it should seem , wou ld h ave cont i nued to relieve him, but that some very inquisitive clever fellow happened to light upon the following entry in the churchwardens' accounts 1—• " 1787, Oct 26.—Mary Surridge brought to bed of a ma l e c hild in the Old 'Ch ange ." U n l ess fraudulent collusion be proved. the place of birth of a bastard is his place of settlement. Old Change is in the parish of St. Augustine. The mother of the pauper died sonic titnesince,but an old woman nearly 70, named Sarah Cook, was found, who recollected something about Sur. , ridge coming to lie-in at Nicholls's, in the Old 'Change; and upon these grounds, notwithstanding all their acts of ownership,. as Mr. Law termed them, for nearly 40 years, refused to relieve the pauper any longer. St. Augustine then relieved him, and A p c a ih s rts s i t cc i ho l no him, ok7 war b il), y p al h es e dn.o o t rt l l ) e iri r ei es c o on f ntl r ay e t m theov addition a b l r a a I g , toawi against s h t t e le which pr ° d evidence a C c h t ri i o e s it f t of an examination taken at th e Mansion -house on the 20th of November, 1787, at the instance of the officers of St. Aug"' tine, for the purpose of removing the mother and her son, then about five weeks old, to Christ Church. From this it was wished to be inferred that the child must have been born in bt.' Augustine's parish. The ItEconnEß said, there were c a ses i n w hi c h t h e birth place plae! of a b astar d might not in law be the place of settlement , and in his judgm ent th e ev id ence brought forward on the part of St. Augustine's parish far outweighed that adduced in SUP; port of th e appea l , and the Court confirmed the order of removal to Christ Church, dismissing the appeal, and, which is 'very unusual in cases of this sort, with costs. A beautiful Roman coin of VESPASIAN, in fine preservation, was picked up a few days ago near the ruins of the ancient house ot` Struthers, for merly the residence of the Earls of CRAWFORD.
