THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Nov. 11. [NEW TIMES.] it appears by private but credible ad vices from Spaha, that one frigate, two corvettes, and three transports sailed on the 30th ult. from Cadiz fur Ferrol and Corunna, to take hi troops for South America. There is something ludicrous in the idea of conquering all Spanish America, contain ing a population of nearly 17 millions, by means of an expedition consisting of one frigate, two Corvettes, and three transports ! On the other hand, it is asserted that on the 9.d of September, a contract was signed in Mexico, between that Government and the Agents of an English house, for a new loan of no less amount than sixteen millions of dollars ! This is a tolerable set off apinst the petty expedition from the Spanish ports, even if the latter should ever cross the Atlantic, which is not very probable.— The contest in South America can never be de termined by any effort which the Crown of Spain is capable of making ; its result must depend wholly on the division of the Transatlantic parties., With respect to these we must own that our views are by no means clear. Letters were 1 re ceived yesterday from Alvarado to the 18th Sep- I tember, bringing intelligence from Mexico to the 11th of the some month ; but they convey little matter of interest, The election of a President of the Republic was shortly to take place, and it was expected that General Vittoria would be returned, who possessed greater influence than the other candidate, General Bravo. The work ing of the mines is stated to be pursued with great promise of success. [THE TIM Es.] Some of our correspondents, we observe, have disputed the accuracy of our judgment as to the inexpediency of printing the Bible for Irish use, and in the Irish character and language. We objected to such an application of the funds via respectable and benevolent society, on the ground that very few natives of Ireland were capable of profiting by the book so circulated. We object still to the undertaking alluded to; and, not withstanding the statements which have been • addressed to us on the same identical ground, we do not believe, let agents and missionaries be ever so sanguine upon the subject, that much, or any progress has been made in teaching the poor of the Irish people to read their native tongue. It is, indeed, otoriously the colloquial language of a large majority of the peasants ; but it is as a spoken language merely that they have any acquaintance with it. We always doubt the re ports transmitted by the agents for these societies, in attestation of their own good works. When we are told, for instance, though on authority which may be most respectable, that " 8,000 g' adults were taught by the Hibernian Society " to read the Irish language in the course of one year," we only affirm that nothing is easier than to say that so many " grown-up persons were taught." We should like to see or hear the evidence for this statement. In the name of wonder, how many schools were opened ? bow many masters paid? Eight thousand grown pupils were no sinecure to their teachers. We dwell the more seriously upon this circumstance, because we happened to be in a room with a certain individual who declared, not twelve months ago, that he himself had taught 50,000 Irish to read their native language : when pressed upon the subject, us to the when and where, con siderable variance began to show itself in the re plies of this learned and successful pedagogue.— The more we squeezed him, the more his thou sauds oozed away from him, until at last he per spired so hard, that the whole mass fairly eva porated. Now we admit with great truth and earnestness the impossibility that our respected correspondents,on this question should have lent themselves wilfully to erroneous or exaggerated narratives ; but we are likewise bound to affirm, that in almost every instance which has oc cOrred to us, the reports of persons employed by charitable societies, especially where the amount of instruction conveyed by them was to be calculated, have called for very large deductions before we could venture to act upon them. Our opinion, in the present case, remains unchanged—that few or no natives of Ireland, beyond here and there a linguist curious in an tique lore, can read a word in the Irish character. Then, as to the policy of striving to perpetuate a language whose existence constitutes a formid able bar to the fusion of the sister nations ! Can there be on such a point a second feeling ? If we were interrogated what it is that most en hances the difficulty of reclaiming the people of Ireland to English tastes, sympathies, and habits, we should not perhaps say " differ ence of language only ;" but language in its combination with other characteristics— religion one—suffering 011 P--both exasperated by traditions of which the Irish tongue has been the vehicle ; but the best corrective of which would be found in a facility of colloquial inter course with England, and a ready access to li er literature. It is good to circulate the English Bible—to circulate without attempting to fo rte it by penalties, either active or negative, upon the poor who may prefer the counsel of their priest. But the English Bible will be most studied and most valued among our Irish brethren, when by justice, kindness, and humanity, they shall have been farther removed than they now are from the importunities and irritations of a state approaching to famine. [UMW attEss.] Yesterday we received letters and papers from Paris, dated Monday and Tuesday. From our Cerrespondent we have given an interesting letter, respecting the present aspect of political affairs in France, The Elulla contains an article on the evacuation of Spain, from which it appears that that measure has been resolved upon defini lively. Th 4. French army will be withdrawn, excepting from certain fortresses, pursuant. to the stipulations of the Convention concluded on the 30th of July last. The wretched. Spaniards [nay look forward to a winter of horrors.. With such 'agents of power as Gonzales, the Intendant of Police, what enormities will not be perpetrated —The wholesome restraint arising from the pre sence of the French will be gone, and unlimited vengeance will be taken upon all who have, " by any act whatever," manifested their repugnance to the wild excesses of the leaders of the Faith. In all probability the Inquisition will be re established, in order that the victims of despotism may be condemned and punished with more se cresy and expedition. [MORNING POST.] IVe received last night, by express, French Papers to the 9th instant, and the Etoile of Tuesday. The latter takes up the defence of the Ministers against their numerous assailants of all parties, on the great question of the eva cuation of Spain. In doing so it skilfully avoids the chief difficulty, which lies in the moral im possibility that if Spain be left to herself, fresh efforts should not be made to overturn the wretched tyrant whom it was the object of the French invasion to replace and secure on the Throne. This is the point on which both Ultras and Liberals have made their prin cipal attacks. The one contending that all the benefit produced by armed interference in the affairs of the Peninsula will be lost if the present measure be carried into execution ; and the other charging the Ministers with double folly in haying originally pursued a course the errors and dangers of which had been fully point ed out, and after all owning themselves unable to carry their object. In answer to these argu ments, the Eloile, or the Administration of which it is the organ, does not attempt positively to dis prove the existence of danger to the present order of things in Spain from the evacuation of that country, but makes it a matter of treaty, and con tends that it is only fulfilling the conditions of the arrangement concluded last June, which pro tracted the stay of the French troops in Spain from the Ist of July to the Ist of January, 1825. The occupation of the Spanish territory, it states, being intended to cease at that period, the pre sent measure was neither new nor unexpected, and betrayed no change of policy. This would certainly be true, if at the time when the arrange ment of last June was concluded, it had been clearly and positively settled that it should be a final one. But it was well known then, that it was merely temporary, and that Ferdinand meant to apply for a fresh extension of the lease by which he holds his Crown (for it is nothing else) as soon as the time of its expiration should approach. Indeed, that such an application was lately made, has been openly stated in most of the French Papers, and that it has been rejected, is proved by the adoption or the present mea sure. The French Ministers certainly fulfil to the letter, the terms of an existing Convention, and are therefore duly authorised to act as they are doing : but there is no doubt that when that Convention was signed by Ferdinand, it was with a degree of expectation, almost amounting to a certainty, that it would be renewed if he made a fresh application to that effect. Whatever the Elate may say, therefore, will not conceal the honourable fact that there has been a great de parture in this instance front the policy of Louis X Vlll., and that Charles X. will not support in his excesses of cruelty and despotism a Monarch who has no other claim to his favour than a de gree of relationship which he disgraces. [MORNING Il ERALD7) The importance and value of the Press seem to he - acknowledged on all hands. Even those who hate it, how to its supremacy. In proportion as this is the case, is it the duty of those who con duct it to consult its honour and character, toge ther .with their own ; and, above all, never to lend its mighty energies to improper purposes.— Somethiug like this, however, is, we fear, some times done ; and a striking instance presents it self in the 'treatment which the late Lord Mayor has experienced from some of our contemporaries. During the whole period of Mr. Alderman Waith man's Mayoralty, the efforts of the Journals we allude to have been indefatigable and unceasing in endeavouring to draw down upon him all the con tempt and obloquy which could be invented. This is, we couceive, au unmanly use of the Press; and would call in return for severe castigation, had not the individual against whom these shafts have been levelled been able to repel them all by the force of his own character and conduct. In spite of all that has beets urged by these Jour.. nals to his disparagement, we will venture to say that no man has gone through the Mayoralty, or h as l e f t it with a higher and more unspotted re putation than Mr. Waithman. Withliispolt•tai-s eat opinions e have nothing to do; because, far as we have observed, they have on no one occasion interfered with, or in the smallest de. gree influenced his public duties. It is small praise for a man accus t ome d to amer cantile life, if, when c a ll e d to the duties o f the Magistracy, he executes those duties with out material errors or mistakes. Now, behalf of, Mr. Waithman, we may venture, woe think, to challenge Lord Sidmouth's Harristers,and ask, whether the duties.of the Justice Room at the lthillhialt House have not been as well exe cuted as at any of the Police Offices. We are not surprised that this should be the ease, be cause we know full well what professional hum bug is, and that plain good sense and right feel ings are worth ten times their weight of the technical attainments which are covered by the wig and gown. We woold by no means be thought to undervalue professional acquirements, but we know that in what are called the learned professions, too many possess the name and the degree without the qualities which should entitle them to the oi n or the other ; and that in most cases plain good sense is of more value than any thing which they who want it can produce. — Mr. Alderman Waithman, as far as we have been able to observe, has shown these qualities, with no deficiency to boot of that knowledge of the law which was necessary for every day's practice. He appears to have been calm and patientin his investigation of cases that have come .before him ; acute and perspi cuous in his reasonings and judgments ; and, above all, ready to succour the distressed, and befriend those who were most in need of his protection. Mr. Waithman neither expects, nor, perhaps, will see this tribute to his merits. For his politics we care nothing. But we think it due to a man whom part of the Press has need lessly decried, to declare the utter impropriety of such attempts, and to hail the firmness and good sense of a public officer, who has thus been enabled, by his irreproachable and laudable con duct to stultify and defeat the efforts of his de tractor. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] The chief subject of interest in the French pa. pers, which reached us last night, is the reported evacuation of Spain. This report will account for the depression of the Rentes ; as there are many who consider it as the forerunner of evil, whilst we look upon it ourselves as the harbinger of good. Ferdinand, who is a very obstinate personage, when he sees danger at a distance, is known to be very accommodating when it approaches his sacred person ; and we have not the least doubt but the departure of the French troops will be the signal of a compro mise on his part between his tyrannical feelings and the urgency of his situation. From a long article in the Etoile of Tuesday's date, we are confirmed in the opinion that the French Govern ment has resolved on carrying the great measure into execution ; though we are not equally cer tain whether it be the effect of a sense of justice, or of the growing difficulties in which it has involved itself by interfering in domestic con cerns of Spain. We should wish, of course, that the former were the motive ; but on this point we have our doubts, though, as to the eva cuation itself, .we have none. This evident ly belongs to the description of rumours which are sure to be promptly contradicted if false; and the inference, therefore, from the silence of the French Government, is obvious. In the mean time, the most perfect concurrence seems to prevail between the Court of the Tuilleries and our own on this important subject; though, where the idea originated, is not so clear. We presume, however, that our Government may claim the honour of having initiated the busi ness, and that the sole merit of the French is to have acquiesced with a good grace. The occu. pation of Spain by a French army is a great eye-sore to this country ; and, besides other objections, its inconsistency with our com mercial interests is of a character sufficient. ly grave to induce us to insist that it should be removed. As to its dangerous conse quences, they are, we believe, greatly over rated ; but, if they were not, this would, be a more proper subject of consideration for the Power, that gave the original provocation, than for the Power that interposed its friendly offices to avert it. If it be dangerous too, at this time, it will be equally so three years hence; whilst no one will venture to say, that the French should retain permanent possession of the country, lest their departure might occasion disturbances. It w ill have a very different effect, we are persuad ed ; for the Serviles, seeing they are left to them selves, will not continue to have recourse to force, in which they know they would be over-matched, but to such arts as the difficulty of their situation will recommend. In the mean time, the Con stitutionalists know, from experience, the danger, as well as the uncertainty, of violent means of redress ; and will not, we suppose, wantonly throw away the prospect of better treatment, which is held out to them at last. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The gentleman who at a professional meeting, which we reported the other da announced that " he had som e thoughts of practising , ac cording to the Courts of Chancery Law, that is to say, of burglari ous l y enter i ng an d robbing houses of ill fame, and forcibly taking from dwel ling-houses in general all specks of property of a paw paw nature, or contra honor mores," may commence operations w h enever h e pleases. When thisingenious gentleman so delivered himself, he was not probably aware o f the full extent of this security ; for though the Lord Chancellor had declared that he would afford no protection to the above ticklish description of property, still some doubt, existed with respect to the Courts of That doubt, however, is now removed, as our renders will see from a decision given yester day in the Court of Common Pleas. We allude to the case of De Wintze v. Hendriks.— M. de Wintze is an ingenious foreigner, who, knowing the enlarged views of the people of England in what regards lending money, and naturally conceiving that they would draw their purses in behalf of the poor Cyprians, were it only , out of gratitude for the endearing recollections to which their name gives rise,—was at the expenco of certain stamps and certain engravings, and was at the trouble of obtaining the necessary signatures, either in London or Cyprus, with a view to raise a sum of money for the noblest purposes, of which of course he was to have the dismal. It so hap pened, however, that the hearts of the English were shut against Mr. De Wintze and his Cyprians, and some people went even so far as to contend that the whole affair was a fraud. Mr. De Wi n t ze h a d deposited his cre dentials, and the instruments which were to hook the money f rom J o h n B u ll' s pocket, in the hands of Mr. Il errmann H en d r iks, and, v ery na turally, when th e b a i t wou ld pot take, wished to regain possessi on o f them. M r , Herrmann Hen driks, how e v er , f or certa i n we i g hty reasons wish ed to retain the and thus a controversy began. m, An action of trover was brought ; but the jury found for the d e f en d a nt Mr. Alendriks, on the ground that the transaction was fraudulent. In moving yesterday fora new trial,Mr.Seri.Pell said, "he knew not on what principle thedefendant could resist the claim on the ground that the property was not valuable. That was a matter, as between these parties, for the consideration of the plaintiff alone or sple raid diamonds sad Nethe r he had deposited mere bau bleswith the defendant, could make no difference with respect to th e right to such prop er ty." 44 The stamps on th e scrip receipts, it w as a lso observed, rendered them property of value, and if they had been re. turned to the Stamp Office, an allowance would have been made to the plaintiff for them." The Aw. Lord Chief Justice, however, and the other Judges were of opinion, that the instruments sought back were instruments fabricated with a view to obtain money fraudulently, and a new trial was refused. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. ( From the Bury Gazette, Nov. 10.) Foreign politics begin to wear an aspect of some interest, and appearances indicate the speedy occurrence of events, likely to furnish matter of deep and important specu lation. The present position of the affairs of Greece, excites a feeling of universal sympathy ; the cause of Liberty and the Cross, cannot be regarded with apathy by Freemen and Chris tians, and therefore in Britain there are but few who do not wish a prosperous issue to the Greek cause : and it is by many deemed a kind of heresy, not to believe the greeks, patterns of every human virtue, super-saturated with the greatness of their ancestors ; and their infidel masters, monsters of wick edness, ripe for perdition. We are not in the habit of yield ing to any popular outcry, and are free to confess, that we have no great predilection for either of the contend ing parties. The disciples of Mahomet, the infatuated zealots of a bloody faith we despise; the despotism of his enthroned descendant we detest; were the whole race, sultan and slave, swept from the face of creation, we hardly think there could be cause for one sigh; but it does not follow because the Turks are hateful, that the Greeks must be re spectable; and we can discover as little to admire in them, as in their oppressors : we cannot give men credit for much Chris tian virtue, who are savage in their vengeance, deceitful in their friendships, and dishonest in all their dealings, and we firmly believe that the national character of the modern Greek, is less estimable than that of any people in the civilized world. It may suit the purpose of politival intriguers, Touters at ta vern dinners, and mouthing committee men, to extol the he roism of the Greeks and compare the Grecian ruffian of our day, with Achilles, Themistocles, Alcibiades, and all the host of illustrious dead, whom history and poetry hare chided with immortality, and they may impudently decree the palm to the living and dishonour the departed; it may serve the muse of infidels and Atheists to laud the rude bigots of the Greek isles, and call them Christians, suffering for conscience sake; but who will they deceive? It is notorious, that it would be libelling the faith we profess, to call the fooleries of the Greek church - the religion of Jesus ; _and not a shadow of affinity can be discovered between the modern marauders of Greece : , and the heroes, patriots, and philosophers, who made for their country and themselves honour and renown. To the shrinking repugnance we feel; to any alliance with the whis kered and turbaned persecutors of christianity, may be attri buted a!very large proportion of the good-will which p e rvades this country in favour of the emancipation of the Greeks.; it is enough that the Turks are their foe s , to ma ke a ll th e Ch r i st i an world their friends ; and as far as the liberation. of a whole people from an unjust and cruel thraldom is the question, they have our cordial good wishes ; and were we possessed of means to help them should have our aid ; but we must not be blinded by our philanthropy, nor suffer our love of liberty to render us insensible to truth and justice : the cause of the Greeks is in itself holy, but the agents of that cause are worthless, are mere pretenders to feelings which are strangers to their hearts, are crafty men who strive to make religious fer vour and patriotic zeal subservient to their. own selfish views, and assume the energy of virtue to promote a cause whose only merit in their minds is that it bears the mark of rebellion. What do the supporters of Hone, the vindicators of Carlile, the impugners of the Trinity,.and the slanderers of the Church of England, care for Christianity in any form ? nothing ; but, to obtain for themselVes same popularity amongst beings of better minds, the faith they denounce becomes their theme, and even infidelity is disgraced by becoming the associate of hypocrisy. What do thernob orators ofSmithfield, Palace-yard, or G uildhall, know of the mighty ones of old, whose unchristian virtues won for them eternal fame, in immortal verse, of which the patrons of Greek treason never heard ? nothing, literally nothing. They could as readily raise the devil, as even pronounce the names of half the heroes they profess to honour. And yet these are the men who think they give tone to the public mind, and presume to hope an influence iii the hearts and understandings of Englishmen. The plain truth is, the Greeks have revolted, and revolt in any shape, whether provoked or causeless, whether against a good Government, or an evil one, has an irresistable charm in the eyes of the un-English faction, whose friendship and patronage, has done more injury to the cause of Greece, than the enmity of the Holy Alliance, or the aims of the Turks. Abstracted from all considerations of religious fail', or honourable ancestry, th e G ree k s d eser ve success, and will obtain it ; for they arc enslaved and with their blood they en deavour to achieve enfranchisement. They are ignorant, cruel, and in many social relations wo r thless : but they burn wit 1 a desire for liberty, th e y are brave, and devoted to their coun try; their vices they derive from their oppressors, their vir tues are their own. CAN A RIS, Tilt; GREEK CAPTAIN..--Though the Greeks have of late gained the confidence and order which have enabled them to carry on regular naval actions, they have been indebted in this, as in former years, for much of their advantages to the success of their tire-ships, and for much of this success to the enthusiasm and self-devo tion of one man—Canaris—an inhabitant of the little islaud of Ipsara, the devastation of which is the only triumph the Turks have had to boast of. G a naris is one of the most re. markable men of modern times; and, not only for what he has done against the enemy, but for the moral lesson which he has set to his countrymen, is deserving of that immortality which will be his reward. Canaris has been called by some foreign journals an Admiral. He has never accepted that rank, from a notion generally ve foreign to those to whom promotion is offered, viz. that he ns not fit for it. Having burned two Turk ish Conimanders.in.Chief, and defeated a third, he is, as he was before, a Captain. Among a people who have like more advanced and better established States, their full share of intrigue and ca. pacity, he has offered a constant example of disinterestedness ; m other words lie has proposed 'to himself as an end, to save hi s country, and not to rob it. In going in his fire-boat against the Capital) Paella's ship in the Canal of Scio, he was, as im h have l : t r h a e a li ne becalmed iti b fo e r w m m e i itn En o g ot l lfs i 0 C ,4 0 t i, t ur t sdi would o w ul l i d o sya corvettes. w c w r e i e r afraid ,f y o t that they at.ra should throwbyeo yourselves int o swim to Psara ; for myself, llis sailo rs ' in oau t i o ld th i e sea, an d oassaere , shall remain.

In a flay M 1 GERANICUS exhibited at in IBERIUS, there were t y he reign o f T welve elephant performers, six males and six 'emales, clothed as men and women. After hay- ing danced and performed many curious antics, a sumptuous feast was served up for their refresh ment. The table was covered with all sorts of ainties, and gold goblets filled with the most precious wines, and beds covered with purple carpets were placed around for the animals to lie upon, after the manner of the Romans when feasting. On these carpets the elephants laid down, and at a signal given they reached out their trunks to the table, and eat and drank with US much propriety as if they had been well-bred citizens. On Thursday night, about nine o'clock, a young man, a painter in town, from a disappoint-. ment in love, threw himself into the Clyde, nearly opposite Carlton Place. Being a good swimmer, by walking and swinuniug alternately, he soon reached the middle of the stream, after which he either swam or was car ried down by the current. it appeared that he had repented of his rash act when too late, as he was heard to cry most vehemently for assist ance, when none could be afforded. By the moonlight l►e was seen struggling hard for life. He sunk at length under the Broomielaw bridge. The body was. mgt found this fgrenoon.--(Glas gore Chronicle.) . POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ARSON.
