An attempt has. been. made for some days past twcbect :the rage for new- speculations, in - .-our stuttket, by. dilating on the uncertainty of the .re- Ass'rps..from these investments• of capital, and - by loammoning up the Ghost of the South-Sea scheme lei care the public from enterprizes alleged -to be absurd.and fragile. Smollet's account of :she famous "'bubble" has: accordingly been quutea r but in our humble.opinion it is calculated Yither to prove the dissimilitude than the resem blance of the, jobs in 1720 and 1824. We are xtet. aware •of any. project of the : present day at., - ,.patrcroizetl'by..the Prince of Wales," nor have wr beard of any .serious accidents which have recently happened. in. the, neighbourhood of the sSock:Exchange,. in consequence of the extra -ordinary crowding of . the carriages. of Dukes . 11 , 4 0.. Marquises, Archbishops, • and= Ambassa- Alors, , who fell foul of' each other in endea vouring to obtain shares of some of the new CO(11 ;wits. That a variety of speculations have been lately set on foot, no one of course can dvny: but, instead of the public being deluded into absurd - expectations of profit from them, we think, all things considered, their career has been extremely moderate and reasonable. In the nature of things it could scarcely have been utherwise. The schemes are all domestic, and lach as the entightened.•people of this country -have ample means and information to enable them to estimate with tolerable correctness.-- In short, we willingly prefer any speculations a a- domestic to those of a foreign nature. — Admitting the former may fail, some indivi aluals will doubtles become losers, but other indi viduals will be gainers, and the country suffers rrothing. It is not so with Foreign Loans—for Won we give away, perhaps to future enemies, our money or our goods ; and should the trans action prove rotten, we have nothing to. show in return but a few skins of old parchment, while the amount of the Loan remains a dead loss to the British Public for ever.- It is not our object, however, to puff up one species of exchangeable 'security and pull down another ; but we cannot help observing the inconsistency of those who -were silent during the menus• for Foreign Invest ualents, and now inveigh. against- the application o_c our capital to domestic, probably patriotic and philanthropic purposes. [MORNING cisitomietx.] The Paris Papers .contain some fresh proofs of the progress of the Government in.consolidat ing the work of Despotism. - Our readers will see from our extracts, that..the.G.overnment has t length by au Edict taken to itself-the exclu sive management of all education, public and private, Catholic and Protestant. This• is all part of the European system.—The Constitution riel contains a document of a curious nature, the G.ircular of the Prefect of a department to the Parish Clergy, informing them.. that religion weans political subserviency., and enjoining them to use their utmost endeavours to ob tain votes for the Ministerial. party. When we see the notions which are entertained of religion, we may anticipate, without much diffi culty, the sort of religious instruction which will be- communicated to the French people. ". Luther and his disciples," says the late Editor of the Li•apeau Blanc, " persuaded a part of Europe that the soya re4nty resides in the people, and instantly the blood . of Kings isst?uredout on the scaffold. The logie of nations is as rigorous. as. the truth of GO itself. . • . ; . . ,Europe, in spitc.of potial disorders and slight deviations, was advancing rapidly. tcowards the perfection An.which Christianity. calls 'nations, like ioaividuals, when the Reformation suddenly arrested. its pro, g*is, and precipitated it, into an . abyis into. which it sinks keper and deeper ever day, and of. which - we know not the I?s . )ttorn:" , This is the key to the attempts now making hi Yrance.

[THE- .TIMES-. 3 A Connuittee of the house of Comraons has been laielyappointed to consider the " ances granted: to : bakers 'by -51- Geo. 111. in " those places where an assize of Aoread is set, " and to report their ,ohservations. thereon to the " House."—That the Committee may have " con sidered"..the said allowances, we are bound to presume, because they were•appoitt,ted for that particular duty ; but as for reporting their " ob servations" on the subject",. all -the account they gave of themselves is, that " they.have'ezamin " ed several witnesses, whose evidence they have " directed to be laid. before the llouse."—We ourselves, however, having taken the pains to read that evidence,.catt conscientiously acquit the-Ho nourable Gentlemen of any neglect in the matter of Abservations ; for more puzzling, inconclusive, or.'barren st nil', we have seldom been condemned to cope with, than the testimony of the five or sib, bakers called up, And who .were, pears, the. only persons called upon in a question which lay directly between 7 the baking-trade and. the public., Certain facts, being of general notoriety, the .

We are very glad to hear it. [ERITISN PRESS.] In the late debate on the Alien Bill, we are well satisfied that Mr. Canning exercised a sound judgment in adverting to the injudicious conduct on the part of one foreigner, who had attracted the attention of Government; but we may be permitted to regret, that the kind forbearance of the Right Hon. Secretary from naming the indi vidual, necessarily left it open for any jealous Government of the Continent to regard with in creased suspicion the wholeof those distinguished men, who, under recent changes, and either by choice, from discreet feeling towards their Sovereign and their country, or by the ban of exile, have given to this kingdom that honourable preference which we trust England will never cease to deserve among nations. Feeling thus, we rejoice to know how uselully some fo reigners have employed their tinne and their talents, since their sojourn amongst as. 'We are invited to remark this the more pointedly from the concurrent observation of our brother Jour nalists, that an e nlightened Portuguese (who, it is said, was the President of the last Cortes) has been anxiously acquainting himself with the administration of the criminal law in this coun try, during the present Sessions, at the Old 1 Bailey. The courteous attention with which Mr.] Denman introduced him on the occasion deserves great praise. We ourselves cart bear testimony' to the visits of Senhor Don Joaquin de Moira to our Courts of Chancery and King's Bench, and have frequently remarked the pitlite courtesy with which the Bar have always assigned him a situation which might best enable him to hear what was passing before him, and the readiness with which they gave him such explanations As might make him fully understand the whole course of the proceedings. - Our courts may be defective in some particulars, but we defy any man to be present at the public administration of the law in this country (guarded, we will add, by the notoriety which follows through the free press), and to compare it with any system of fo reign judicature, without a proud feeling of na tioual superiority. We will go further, we defy any foreigner to pass his time amongst us, attend. Ing to our habits, customs, arid modes of civil ization, without having it in his power, on return ing to his native land, td benefit it by some im provement, same amelioration which his judgment and intelligence, by comparison and by contrast, will have suggested to him. The purposes of fo reign travel, so rarely made available in youth, is thus, by the force of circumstances, become accessible to maturer age, and we rejoice that the opportunity havndt been lost. It is gratify ing to remark, that while the hospitality of Eng land has warmed by the resort to her shores of men of other nations, so due an estimate has been formed by any enlightened foreigner of the ad vantages tier laws and institutions may yield to them, that nothing that is worthy, nothiffg that is valuable, escapes the perseveriug curiosity and the philosophic pursuit of information which has marked the steps of the very - intelligent in dividual to whom we 'have alluded ; and we cordially hope the known moderation of hit polities, 'with the benevolence of his heart, and the extent of his experience, will, on his return home, once more place him la a situation of use fulness to his country, and of benefit to mankind. and Saving Banks open to us, in which we can deposit our savings, if we should think proper."; It is a principle in man, to like todo as he pleases. with that which he has earned. If the-retired pensions are not enough, let the country agree to give what should be sufficient—the amount altogether for such a purpose could not come to much. If, however, on the contrary, the pay of the clerks is too much; then let Mr. Hume look into them, and bring them down to that which is proper. We would recommend Mr. Robinson to give this 'degrading deduction from the salaries of such as — are in the power of the Government, a reconsidera tion; and if one hundred thousand pounds more in the course of the year would be sufficient to enable a man, after he had been keeping John Bull's books. for forty years, to live decently, let him tell the people that so much is wanted, and we are sure there would be little or no op position There might be a little; to the measure; in the City, arid especially at this time among the representatives of the patriotic interest; for the present Parliament will Probably termi-: nate in another year, and the votes of the patriotic portion of the Livery would then be wanting. We recornmend the clerks, when 'to load the Commons'next the House meets table with petitions, arid if they will send us one , of them we will insert it, provided it be not too long ; arid to avoid s uch error , we recom mend them to draw their petitio ns u p th em selves and by no means to employ ally One - in the 'legal pro fession, lest they should fill it as full'of words as Mr. Wortley has filled kis Game Bill, and thereby render their petitions impossible to be comprehended by the common run of *readers. [MORNING HERALD.] - . An article, furnished by a Clerk in one of the Public Offices, complains of the new project for obliging all clerks under Government to contri hute to a superannuation fund. At first sight it does appear hard to obligee mau, whose salary is probably barely • sufficient to enable hitu to meet his 'yearly ezpenditure; to pay something every year .out of his•salary, to provide for such As may, through inability, or from what ever cause, retire, after a certain number of years, on the. retired list. It has • been mentioned •to u.i, that the pay of the retiring' partris inade quate, and that therefore stlinid is 'necessary for their support. This would. lie a good doctrine, provided the salaries of the clerks w e re : a bl e to bear a deduction. We are not aware Of the amount of the- salaries •of Gbvernrnent• clerks, consequently we can.give no opinion as to their being sufficient, or the contrary. If they be not sufficient, ,then it is cruel-for the Parliament to subject titer* to the deduction 'about to be carried into effect. If, on the contrary, the salaries are sufficient, then the clerks have no reason to com plain of the contemplated deduction.

And yet now, our unblushing rival parrots our very words, and has the face to say, " we do earnestly entreat our countrymen to examine somewhat further into the allure ments offered to them than merely their market !able value."—Yery singular and curious is the fact, that while million after milliou was go ing out of the country to alt. parts of the globe, for years together, The Times was either silent; .Or promoted ttir most gross of all the delusions .practised ; but as soon as schemes begin to be set ou foot for employing money in • the country, then for the first time the virtuous anger of our competitor is roused ; and then he ends that the temporary value of a transferable share in any alluring project is not all that ought to •be calculated.

His escape I now consideredimpos sible; his 'destruction inevitable, and I applied to Johnson how ' we should act, who, like myself, affirmed the impossibility to save him, and instantly seized upon a loaded carbine to shoot the poor fellow before he fell into the jaws of the monster- I did not, however, consent to this, but waited with horror. the tragedy we anticipated ;. yet willing to do all in our power, I ordered the boat to be hoisted, and we fired two shots at the approaching alligator, but Without effect, for they glided over his covering like hail stones on a tiled pent house, and the progress of the creature was by no means impeded.

LAUNCESTON, lllAncu 31. SIR ItOkii74ixek, sAR'f. v. iIAYNTER. The present trial, Mr. WILDIC said, took place in conse quence of an information laid by the plaintiff; charging the de fendant with using a gun to kill game, he not being qualified with haying game in his possession, and with exposing it for sale. ! Mr. Segeant PILL in addressing the Jury stated Sir Rose Price to be a tientleman of property living at Trengwainton, no great distance from St. Buryan, where the particular transac tion that led to the present action took place, which was all he should then say of him ; that the defendant, Mr. Edward Paynter, a solicitor of that Court, belongs -to a very respectable family in the County, and as far as he had any reason to know (a duty he should discharge withodt tear) is a thoroughly re spectable man. But he would not enter into those parts of the case further than they might tend to shew whether the story which would be told by the witnesses was true or false.—On the 6th of October, at Boslive, a place he be lieved which belonged to a near relation of defendant, in the parish of Buryan—or if he should have mistaken the name . of the place he was sure nobody would believe he did it inten. tionally—it might bear some other name—he did not affect to say that it did not—but unquestionably the property belonged to-a very near relation of the defendant —certainly in the parish of St. Buryan.— Well, on the 6th of Oct. Mr. Edward Paynter .was found pursuing game—he had with him a gun and dogs_ he believed more than two—and was then looking after part-' Midges, and undoubtedly looking after game on his own rela tion's estate, and as far as that went there . could be no cause of complaint against this gentleman ! If this be a correct report of the Learned Serjeant's opening speech (and we have no reason to doubt the accuracy of our Reporter) there must hare been a struggle between his duty and his feelings-He sat down - we, are informed under evident embarrassment, and called John Eddy.—l am a tenant of Mr. Paynter of Buryan. I know the defendant, Mr. Edward Paynter; between the Ist of last September and Christmas, I saw him at Buryan ; he had a gun in his hand and 5 or 6 partridges, which were dead ; the defendant had shot them ; he had two dogs with him ; Ido not know whether they were pointers or not. : Cross-examined by Mr. Witxrams.—The defendant is first cousin to my landlord, Mr. Paynter, of Buryan, and was on a visit to him when he shot the partridges. Mr. Paynter has a large estate in Buryan ; Sir Rose Price has no land there, but he had leave to shoot on Mr. Paynter's property, and has shot over it for many years with Mr. 'Paynter's consent. Shortly after I saw the defendant with the partridges,' Sir Rose Price came to me, and asked me if I had seen any birds lately. I told him I had a few days before. He knew I was a tenant of Mr. Paynter. He asked me ifany person bad shot there litely, except Mr. Edw. Paynter. I sai&no as no person h a d lib ert y to shoot over th e l an d except himself (Sir R. P.). He asked me some more questions, but I begged to be excused answer ing, that as I was a tenant to Mr. Paynter, the defendant's cousin, and my answering , might do me a great deal of injury. He said, " I'll give you my word and honour you shall not be injured." He said he had two other witnesses who gave him the information in the first place, but did not mention their names. He continued to urge me to speak, and I tried to avoid answering. He said he was rather displeased with Mr. Payn ter, the defendantfot coursing4ith what he Celled r•adii.al dog:, on his (plaintiff's) ground. He desired me to keep what passed between us a secret, and said, " you must not tell your wife, as a woman cannot keep a secret." We were in the cow-house talking at this time. I told hiM I should tell my landlord of what he said. Sir Rose Price met afterwards at Penzance market, and asked me if-/ had. told Mr. Paynter whit he bad said to me ; I told him I had. He said he was sorry for that as he had told Mr. Paynter that he had never spoken to me on the subject. I know Sir R. Price was invited to dine with Mr: 1 1 Paynter the day after the defendant kill e d t h e birds, which designed for the Baronet's dinner. took the birds hothe to Mr. Paynter's house as soon as they were killed • and he told me ' his cousin (defendant) had shot them by his &sire, as he'ex pected company the next day. Mt. Paynter is himself a qtta lifted man. I repeatedly begged Sit Rose Price not to bring the business fortaard, as it might injure me with my landlord ; he assured me ., he would write to Mr. Paynter; that I might not be injured, but I never head that be had done so. Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS'then - addressed the Court and Jury on the part of the defendant as followS can very unfeignedly say that I never approached a case that gave me such sincere' and heartfelt 'pain as that which I stiffer when I addiesi 'you on the -present occasion; but before I address my se lf to you on' the particulars of the case, let me thank my Learned Friend Mr. Serjeant Pell for the gentlemanly manner in which he opened this case, let me also express my unfeigned admira ' tion of that delicacy and honour, the sensation from which at the time he opened this case embarrassed him to a degree r have never witnessed before in the course of my life. Gentle then; you heard a man of lionou'r,"'a man of delicacy and prin ciples.' endeavouring- so far as he'could. to gloss ov e r a C ase a t which his feelings revolted, and which his heart abhorred ! I: never saw my friend to more advantage, because I never saw a more perfect illustration of that which I long before knew, that there is no person who would feel a greater indignation at a violation of that which would be considered just, which would be considered a violation of principles and of honour, than my friend ; and when he was opening this case to you, I appeal to your own observation and to those who hear me, ifever yetr saw a person of those talents and experience so embarrassed as my' friend was under the operation of these honourable feelings he always - possesses; to detail' to you a ease that he "kite* the moment it was investigated would turn out to be one of the• most nauseous and loathsome description. - And it will now be my duty, having paid my friend the compliment' which he . truly deserves—it will benow my duty to call your attention' to the case before you. My friend told you that the defendant on the record is a gentleman of great respectability in life, an attorney by profession, and that he is connected, with a name and- with a family of very ancient existence in this County, that he is connected by near kindred .with Mr. Paynter of 13.oskenna, a man-of Whom when I speak I know I shall have yours and every-man's' concurrence maids County, is i t man whose pro: perty,and.opulence are the least-recommendation to him,'a tnan • who by his conduct to all classes of life, and especially to thOse persons' Who are' connected with him by acqua i ntance and friendship; such•as entitle him - to entire regard. Gentle' men you might learn something of this from his' conducrto that man Who' is the prosecutor of this action. You have learnt from that respectable farmer, that Sir Rose Price, being' a perion attached to hunting 'end lamming, had receiv ed from-Mr. Paynter himself, year after year, the privilege 'of shooting over his entire property without restraint or restric. don of any kind. Gentlemen it 'is the first cousin of that fentleman who is brought into this Court, my friend says not' or - penalties—For *hat then did Sir, Rpse Price, Bart. of Trengwainton bring`the cousin of his friend and acquaintance, and ein tills case his' benefactor—for whafptiriaise slid he draglihn to these Assizes and place him hefore you, but for the . pur, pose of extracting ; from his' pocket a few miserable penalties-- for what ?' for killing the game of own relative togratify. the app e tit e o f Si r R os e P r i ce th e following day.' This is a Baronet, a mart as nty friend calls him Of condition in this County-.4ie has actually 'come here to bring hither for the Put. pose of extracting from his purse several penalties 'under the Game Laws, because this young gentleman in Cdanpiiance with the • request of his own cousin courteously 'went out to procure that sort of luxury for the table at which Sir: Rose Price was to, be himself a participator on the fol.: loWing day. IS no t thi s enough to hurt every body's' feelings and none more than the honourable feelings of the person who is the advocate on this occasion.—ls it not enough . to revolt the feelings of every man, who hears me say this ? If Sir Rose Price had found 'a person who had b'een a fair wit ness, a person unconnected with the party—if he himself' had' witnessed this.—But conceive, Sir Rose Price, Bart. skulking into the fields - of kis friend and benefactor—going to his own tenant,'and insidiously affecting a kindneas' to' that man, lead ing him into Convers a tion-, and extracting from that man willingly and reluctantly, as his honest mind states, informs • don upoh which to' convict of a penalty the first eonain of his own friend and; acquaintance; -and where ? upon- that very prOper ty which this gentleman had yielded to ilia pleasure and amuse ment for years past, 'giving him almost an unrestrained com mand over this . property !—Tliis is a Magistrate 'of this 'coun ty, Sir Rose' Price, Bart., of TrengWainton.—Gentletnen,. let me go on with this history, that it may be known . thrOiigh the Counts . —the Court of Justice here ' and I care not a far thing about the pen a lty y ou may award, if you think Yau'ertri award:any.

If there is one thing which ors man would cultivate more than another, it is that relation between landlord and tenant, that kindness, that mama desire to obli ge an d to b e friends, which I hope has hi therto subsisted, and I hope ever will subsist between the English landlord and his tenant : but among the beats conferred on Cornwall by Sir Rose Price, Bart., is that of taking the tenant to give evidence against the cousin of his ofri 4 landlord against his will, against his professions, a gainst hio earnest entreaty that he would not place him in the situation of offending his benefactor and landlord. What does he etate.to him ? He tells him to keep it a secret, and it shall notinjois him with his landlord ; he entreats him to withhold that from his landlord which it was his duty to tell. Here a ga ip I ask with "what feelings must every man in this Court from the highest to the lowest hear a man of his station and educat iO teaching hypocrisy and meanness to a respectable farmer, ;Jr_ the tenant o f hi s f r i en d ? Is this all ? That man on his oats has told you that Sir Rose Price actually told him that he. 'go sure he had mentioned this to Mr. Paynter; for what do you suppose ?—that Sir Rose Price had so far disgraced, had *Of" degraded himself as to have gone to Mr. Paynter and told hi)* of that which was not founded in fact. He had told him he di' dared toyou on his oath that Sir Rose Price told him he was scarabs had told the fact to Mr. Payn ter, for that he, Sir R. Price, contra/ to what th e fa c t as h e states on his solemn oath runs, Sir R 0 Price had gone to Mr. Paynter and told him he had acttutlV not seen this man and had no conversation with him. Goal.- men, have I stated to you that which the evidence does not Co-- able me to do ? Have I uttered a word to you that that honest man's testimony has not given me the fair foundation for ? Have I uttered a sentiment which does not come home to your hearts--have I expressed a principle in which I shan't have the concurrence of every honest and virtuous mind ?—I can only say, Gentlemen, in one single sentence, that I would rather bc the man who wanted bread to eat, I would rather be the man who had expended the last farthing in my miserable pocket, I would rather be that man and with him feeling a fair and clear heart, than the man, whatever his wealth, who could descend OP the conduct that I have been pourtraying here this day. No.! , - Gentlemen, I will just then state to you in a few words the whole of his conduct. Sir Rose Price is the friend and quaintance of Mr. Paynter of Boskenna ' • Sir Rose Price, ad a mark of that friendship, barte rs with Mr. Payntees owo tenant to betray in point of fact his first cousin ; Sir Rose Price is permitted to enjoy the dominion as it were, but" certainly to exercise every sport and amusement over immense prg perty of Mr. Paynter of Boskenna ; Sir Rose Price re turns that by visiting by severe penalties the first cousto of that gentleman who bestowed on him that liberty and privilege; Sir It. P. is there as a landlord, and as a magistrate ; that JEW lord and th a t mag i strate h as to this man Eddy acknowledged that he had been to Tlr. Paynter and said that which was not true ! So that a Justice of the Peace of the County of Cornwall is actually stating to a farmer, the tenant of his friend and be:. nefactor, that he the Justice of the Peace—a Baronet, and 4 man In his condition and station of life, had actually been do Mr. Paynter, and had stated that as a fact which he big! At ti . le MOment was untr ue !—Thi s i s the person who is the plaintiff on the present record. Gentlemen, for the shooting of those birds you must give your verdict against me. I stand here for Mr. Paynter to toll you so, and that he would not, whatever your honest feelinge, might prompt - you to do, lie would not that I should try to !e -duce you from the discharge of your duty.—No ! whatever Six itose Price may do, and wish his tenants to do, I at least will never descend before a Jury to depart from strict right, film) the path of duty, or hold out an example pernicious to society in every class, most abasing and disgraceful in the one from which the evil example comes. I am now going to state throup you to my Lord that on which I found my title to yoar verdict on the one count, the most disgraceful of all— Mr. Serjeant BosANQU —You only go for one swell Mr. Witatte--It is in your Lordship's hands.
