THE LONDON JOURNALS. • DAILY , . Extracts from the Morning Papers, Jan. 3. [MORNING POST .1 , We lately expressed our conviction, that if the present ricketty Government of Spain attempted the'reConquest of South 'America, notwithstand ing the independence of that part of the world Iteadheen achieved while the Peninsula compared with its actual condition was rich and powerful, the fact should be considered a proof that the . floly.Alliance was using the Cabinet of Madrid as %A:e instrument of aggression against England. The - .last advices from Cadiz seem to imply thac some attack on the c:-defiant Spanish Co lenies _is really meditated by the Continental Powers. In such an event, this country can pursue but one line of policy. The King of Spain and the High Allies will please to re. collect that twelve months back the Government of the 'United States formally recognized the in ierentlence of the South American States, and that, in the last Message to CongresS the Presi deut lies declared any attempt to restore the authority of the Mother Country in those parts a sufficient cause of war in the estimation of the North American Republic. Is. it .possible then, - we ask, for the British Government to become a calm spectator of such a struggle, and tamely submit first to have its commerce with South America destroyed by the Holy Alliance, and then to see the entire trade of the Southern World monopolized by the United States ? Yet such is the dilemma in which England is now placed. The question is not so much what we will do, but what with a due regard to our own safety.. we must do—not only to thwart the schemes of the European Powers against our prosperity, but to prevent their policy from ren dering other and at present friendly nations the successful rivals of England in a quarter where we have already to contend against the disadvan tages of three thousand miles of ocean and loose connections. Although in the race of mercantile or political competition we may allow the United States to start before as, it would be folly not only to lose the stakes, but to be distanced every heat. The Holy Alliance should therefore be ware of the policy which they will compel this country to adopt, by stimulating a war against the independence of America. From a respect fur those rights of sovereignty which became a great empire like this, we have hitherto forborne to ieterfere between Spain and its former Pro vinces ; but there is a time when forbearanc e de generates into timidity—and the latter is a virtue for Which, thank Heaven i England has never been renowned. [THE Times. j A Portsmouth paragraph informs us, that Arias, the Admiral appointed by Ferdinand VII. to take - the command of the squadron destined for South America, -has been conveyed by a Britihh steam vessel to Cadis.. As the steam ship was, we suppose, engaged in the ordinary service of a passage - boat, her Captain would not, of course, be very nice in inquiring into the character or .bnsiness of his passengers : we shall therefore only wish him on other occa sions a worthier freight than this Corn mandt.r of the Serviles. It .will be seen by the same account, that the Spanish squa dron " was far from being in a condition to go to sea ? How, then, are they to arrive at the wished for condition? Manifestly not by an outlay of Spanish trioney—of a non-existing fund ! French gold, perhaps ; but French gold for such a purpose is contraband —it subjects the vessels upon which it will have been expended to capture by the squadrons of the United States, whose President has just denounced, as an act of hostility, assist ance by .:t►y European Power to Spain against South. America, given under " any form." There is likewise an English squadron not a thousand miles from Cadiz. What will Sir H. Neale, in the Revenge, :have been instructed to say to Admiral Arias ? Tbis is an interesting question. The attempt of some of the Tax Collectors to increase the House Tax for the present vear, by•a new and unprecedented valuation, has been already noticed in The Times. W e confess that our impression led us from the first to impute this encroachment to the rapacity of the inferior officers, Who derive their incomes from a per centpge on the sum total of payments into the • Exchequer, rather than to any disingenuous or shuffling scheme of those who preside over the 'Treasury Department, for obtaining at once die credit due to an ostensible re duction of the public burdens by Act of Parlia ment, and the profit arising out of their actual continuance, by silently giving an additional turn to the sci-etv. ft gratifies us to observe something liken confirmation of our surmise in an advertise ment from th e Board of Taxes, which suspends the increased c harges made by Collectors on ac count of the Douse Tax, and states the notice to be issued by authority of the Lords of the Trea sury. The country, - therefore, it is to he hoped, will enjoy the benefit of the late reductions at least—if not, as report says, of an entire repeal of the assessed taxes.—(lbid.) [MORNING CURONICLE. It is now pretty well ascertained that the late visit of the three eminent London Bankers to Paris was in consequence of an express invita tion of the French Government, and for the pur pose of discussing matters of too delicate and complicated a nature to be confided to a cor respondence, and too urgent to brook the form of a diplomatic negociation. That the monied gentleinen alluded to had some vague ideas of the object which gave rise to the polite and pressing summons of the French Minister, act ing on behalf of his Matt Christian Majesty, we can easily imagine ; but when the grand plan in which they were solicited to . become partakers was completely opened to their view, they must, we think, ,have been struck with no little surprise. Being called upon to a:con sultation on the means by which Spain could be relieved from her present financial difficulties, no doubt they must have felf . ,thMselves highly honoured hjr - tbe compliment. Yet we are in clined to think their nerves could hardly fail to be somewhat shaketi - ,' when they beheld . the labyrinth into which they were solicited to enter, without any certain guide to extricate them. Hav ing, however, performed the journey to the banks of the Seine, it would have been unmanly to re turu without listening to the propositions intend ed to be submitted to them, and we make no doubt the preliminary observations by which the subject was introduced by the French Minister (for we have not understood whether or not he was accompanied by his Excellency the Duke de San Caries), formed a very interesting part of the solemn conference. Spain, however, re quired money, and her faithful Ally, France, was sensible she must have it, at whatever sacrifice, otherwise the benefits of the late re-action would be inevitably lost, and the grand deeds of the Duke d'Angouleme rendered en tirely abortive. In this negotiation, France therefore became a party immediately interested. he French Minister prudently hesitated to give a guarantee : it might be construed as opposed to the Royal Charter ; and it might besides create some uneasiness among the French people. It is natural enough to imagine ,that his Excellency was anxious to try first what could be done with , out one; and'it is equally so to suppose that the three monied Gentlemen answered that they were ready. and willing to lend money to Spain, provided only she could offer them adequate guarantees. [NEW TIMES.] We recently mentioned the project of a Franco Mexican Company, for working the Gold and Silver Mines of Mexico. Whether that scheme has or has not had any success, we cannot say ; but we learn that an Anglo Mexican Company has just started with similar views, though totally independent of the former. The List of Di rectors, which has been circulated in the City (but for the accuracy of which we do not vouch), is very respectable, , containing the following names : David Barclay, Esq. Charles Herring David Bevan T. H. Anderton S. Majoribankt, M.P. Georg e Lyall R. M. Raikes 'W. Thompson, M.P. &Ald. 'illiam Ward Benjamin Shaw Mathias Atwood, M.P. J. D. Powles. The Capital is proposed to be one million ster ling, and with so large a sum of British Capital at command, with British machinery, and with British enterprize, there certainly may be great reason to anticipate success, if the internal convulsions of Mexico should not present new and unforeseen obstacles. Up to 1810 the produce of these mines was immense. In 1809 it amounted to upwards of twenty-six millions of dollars ; but since that time almost all the works have been suspended ; the water has drowned the mines ; and the Proprietors, ruined by the Civil War, have been unable to erect machinery for the purpose of overcoming this difficulty. It is stated, that the Proprietori of the Anglo Mexican Company have agreed with the Proprietors of six of the richest mines for their occupation during a limited period. Five of these miner are in the district of Gu a na xuato, a province wh o lly s i tuate d on the ridge c-f the Cordillera of A na h uac , t h e most WWII' ions in New Spain, and the riches it t gold and silver. The other mine is in Petisi. It is said the shares in this undertakin g h ave been done at the very high Premium of 12-1 pe t . Cent. No doubt the scheme is an extremely pl a usible one ; but still we cannot help testifying our sur prise th a t w hil e m illi on upon million is flowing from B r it a i n t o enr i c h every other part of the w or ld, I re l an d a l one i s overlooked ! Can Englishmen rely so much better °" the Government and Laws of Mexico than on those of Ireland ? Or did they think that Spain was so much more tranquil and unanimous than Ireland ? Or had they ascertained that the soil of . Poyais was so much more fertile than that of Ireland ?—We should be unwilling to believe that a British Capitalist, where the risks were equal, and chances of profit as great, would not have patriotism enough to prefer the improving o( a part of the British Empire, to the enriching with his money the subjects of a foreign State. [BRITISH PRESS.] The present state of Ireland is a deeply agi. tating one ; as connected with this country, it becomes also of first rate importance; as such, we have paid the closest attention to it, and to the progress of the Government of the Marquis Wellesley, which forms, from its wisdom and moderation, altogether a new era in Irish po litics. The most prejudiced visitor, who goes over to Ireland to " spy out the naked ness of the land," if ever his footseps pre viously pressed those shores, must confess that a great and sensible change has im perceptibly taken place all through that Country. Twenty years since, a faction ruled supreme throughout the land, and now they are in a great degree powerless and inoffensive. The " eternal" orators of the Capel-street Board, however, think otherwise. The hall of their paltry senate still rings with vituperant decla mation ; from noon-day to night whole hours are consumed in their debates. And what have they achieved ? When the learned Casaubon explored the halls of the, Sorbonne, where ca suistry had spent its idle breath for more than five centuries, he asked, after so much disputation, what decision had been come to, or what good obtained. And we may put the same question to the frequenters of this Board. At one of their last sittings, we observe, it was resolved to meet no longer i❑ the eye of " garish day ;" and their discussions, for the future, were to take place after dinner. The circulation of the kindling rglass, like rouge to the eyes of beauty, will give double animation to their meetings. The spirit of their legislation will no be fearless and un bounded. Those who proposed this important change had, of course, the precepts of Horace in their memory : 7 " Siccis omnia nam Jura Deus proposuit ; neque " Mordaces aliter diffugiunt solicitudines. " Quis post viva gravern milldam aut pauperium crepat ?" This Board will now become a " Landaburian Club"—a nightly arena for declamatory folly, at tended alike by the mischievous and the idle. It is too hard that a great and a just cause should be thus implicated and deeply injured—that the madness of a few ihOuld commit the hopes of the unoffending and deserving many. A Govern ment proclamation, in the time of the Duke of Richmond, extinguished this same Board, just when its last light was weakly flickering. The state-physician might have shared the expiring draught to a patient in the last stage of a con sumption; and we should be sorry, even if legal, to see the same remedy resorted to now. But we wish their sessions were at an end : they can do no good, and they ate doing infinite mischief. [MORNING HERALD.] : . The apprehensions of distress in Ireland en tertained at the beginning of winter, have greatly, if not wholly, disappeared. The quantity of potatoes, the chief sustenance of the labouring classes, is likely, to be abundant. A more than usual proportion of land had been. devoted to the tillage of them—and there has been no severe or continued fall of rain to injure the crop. Farming produce has also been for some time on the rise. Perhaps the best evidence of improvement in the condition of the people is the gradual re turn to tranquillity. Outrages are still com mitted, and, unhappily, murders are recorded in the Irish newspapers. But they are no longer of ordinary occurrence. They are not the rule, but the exceptions. Let but the act of God, or the prudence of the Legislature, render the state of the population somewhat better, and there can be little doubt of a correspond ing improvement in the state of society. Oue of the most generally correct instances of rea soning from effect to cause is in the condition of a people. There is scarcely an instance in which a disorderly population is not the growth of a distressed or comfortless existence. Some surprise is expressed that the Irish have not shewn a juster sense of the disposition recently manifested by the Government and Parlia ment. But let it be remembered that it is only disposition. Nothing is more impatient than a multitude, and particularly an Irish mul titude. I t is not reasonable to expect that mere good intentions', however unequivocal, should have any effect until they begin, at least, to be put into e xecution. The principal measure of conciliation--indeed, the only one —as yet tried, is the Tithe Commutation Bill. But that, unhappily, has proved a source rather of discord. It has wh o lly failed to satisfy either party, and has, we are informed, been pretty generally abandoned in despair. From the man ner in w hich it was treated in the Houses o f Parliament, but littl e was expected from its immediate operation. It was universally admitted to be rather au experiment; to be observed with a view to ultimate legislation, than a measure of practical and permanent effect. Upon one point only there appeared to be not the least doubt--; viz., th e g ood intections and liberal feelings of the Itight Hon. Secretary who intro loced it,— It will we understand, come before Parliamentearly in the Session, with the advantage of know ing how far it has or has not worked, and what objection and inconvenience have arisen on the part o f those to whom it applied—the payers and receivers of tithes. THE ComET.—This•celestial stranger is now clearly visible to the nak e d e y e , and may be seen in the south-eastern portion of the heavens, a little after four o'clock in the morning till day break. It has attaineLl considerable elevation. Its nucleus is dense, aPPark,4ltlv irregular i n its shape, and surrounded by a considerable nebu losity. tail ; which is more brilliant, points straight upwards. A few d ays will decide, by its increase in splendour or diminution of light, whether it be on its approach t o our system, or on its return from it.

This gentleman's stables and coa c h-h ouse a re behind his residence in Lime Kiln-lane, and the coachman and his family resid e in rooms over wife went to shake the crumbs o ut of a cloth them. On Sunday, after tea, the coachman's at the loft door. She had just finished cutting her children's bread and butter. There was a half door, or wicket protection there, and it is supposed that she leaned over such protecting. slide - so far as to lose her balance and fall out.— H e r eldest child (for the poor woman has left five children) expressed surprise at her mother's long absence, and said she would go to see why her mother stayed. She went to the loft-door, and then saw her parent lying in the mews on the stones motionless and speechless. The side of the poor woman's forehead, or " temple," had come in contact with an abrupt and sharply pointed stone, which cut the side of the forehead so deeply and seriously thktishe expired in about an hour, but without having the power to utter one word to her afflicted children and friends. Me dical aid was had, but it could render no service. The " accidental death" of course was appointed to be investigated by a Coroner's Jury at the White Hart. DARING RoßßErty.—About seven o'clock last evening, a most daring robbery was committed by some person or persons breaking the shop window of Mr. SHILLIBEER, Tobacconist, No. 2, Long-acre, and stealing. therefrom several valu able snuff-boxes, a box of se gars, and other articles, with which the robbers escaped. It is supposed the robbery was effected by breaking the glass with some instrument At the time a car riage was passing, as not the least ❑oise was heard, and the thieves got clear off. FIRE.----At five o'clock yesterday morning an alarming fire broke out at the house of Mr. BUCK LEY, Carlisle-lane, Lambeth, and totally destroy_ ed the same, besides damaging considerably the adjoining .premises. MUSICAL PHENOMENA. . -`ln the more select musi cal circles, where the leading profesSOrs associate in the character of friends, rather thin in that of artists, there has been unobstrusively stealing into notice a child, in whom is developed so early and so ex traordinary a talent for music, that the most fastidious predicts for him a reputation of the highest order, and speak of him as the genius born to bestow a character for eminence in that art, which has hitherto been withheld by foreign ers from the natives of this country. The name of this child is GEORGE A.SPULL, and his present age is said to.be only eight years, which his ap pearance sufficiently proves not to have been un der-stated for the purpose of making the wonder appear the greater. His father was formerly, we understand, in business, but not being success ful in the pursuit he at first chose, was com pelledilice o f a t t :at that resort t; decided bu tto themusic be. mnat a r s kw a s h p io ro h f ehssiiso genius : i hnaedn then hasi ebny f s diligent and successful practice has acquired some reputation as a performer on th e v i o li n .— It was not till his son had consid era bl y p asse d the age of five years that h e gave any indica tionsdiscovered were so evident, that Mr. Aspull de termined to undertake himself the care of his education in music, and, foreseeing the advan tages to which it m i g ht l ea d, d evote d t h e w h o l e of time and attention to that object. The fruit of his care and assiduity is apparent in the surprising talent which young Aspull now displays. The instrument on which he performs is the pianoforte, at which he does not usually sit, his stature being. so small as to render the position of standing that which gives him the most perfect command of the instrument. His fingers are extremly short, even for his age ; with the left hand he cannot reach an octavo so as to press down the notes which form it at one time, and is only enabled to do so with the right hand with meth difficulty, and by depressing the wrist.— The impediment thus formed to the acquisition of the mere mechanical difficulties of the piano forte, will be perfectly understood by all those who have ever attempted that instrument, but they have not prevented young Aspull from con quering the most complex and rapid passages that have ever appeared in the form of musical com position. With some slight allowance only for those passages requiring greater strength than that to which his little frame is adequate, or combin ing more distant intervals than his fingers can pos sibly command, there is no difficulty of execution that can stop him for a moment. The composi tions of Kalkbrenner and Moscheles, prepared for displaying in the manual skill of those cele mtrhoestsmalles brated Professors, t abrye it)iliaiysedxetrsaibdrednittliayry e has also without child, fi made hims e lf master of a piece of singular difficulty, by a foreign composer t r i a l o f skilliti for o is rd a e C r l -1 ; P t t o r h u e c Y o e t n n l b i and n in e eminent t s a l' l l i lo t whose name professors the v ro t . e mechanicaloi f t a E s u a .. I rop e , and niceties of execution of which the instrument is susceptible. This piece, consisting of only one m ove ment, occupies nearly 40 pages of printed music, every one of which is crowded with rapid ' divisions, intricate modulations,and the most chro. matic passages that the art of the composer could devise. Some idea may be formed of the complexity of this moment, by the fact that some of our most eminent professors to whom it has been shown have shrunk from the attempt to play it. But the mechanical skill of young Aspull is that which has least surprised those who have had the plea sure of hearing him perform. A child with a certain cleverness and quickness of parts, may be taught by repeated efforts to conquer the greatest intricacies, and, when conquered, there will re main nearly the same impression from them which results on viewing an exhibition on the tight rope, or the antic tricks of the unfortunate pupils of a posture -master. Mr.Aspull's pupil is not of this class. The boy's mind evidently partici pates in all that his hand executes. A passage which he is compelled to leave imperfect through a defect of physical power, does not stop or dis concert him, as it would on ordinary pupil, but he passes on to the next, and is as certain to give it with effect, as if himself had composed it. Short as the period is which young Aspull has devoted to the study of music, he has cultivated every style, and all with success. In these are included the concertos of Handel, and the fugues of the Bachs and Scarlatti, than which latter, perhaps, no- works could possibly be selected less accessible. to a juvenile student. Young As pull unites with these talent, which is rare among professors, of extempore playing, at which, if permitted to do so, he will pass hours, and with a llnency that would indicate musical notes to be that vehicle by which he could best express his ideas. We ought not to omit to state of him, that he sings ballads to his own accompa niment on the pianoforte, in a voice thin and weak, owing to his extreme youth, but with pe culiar taste and delicate expression. His appear ance and behaviour do not differ from those of other children of the same age, but his manner, when performing on the pianoforte, is that of a person deeply attentive. The most rapid and involved passages do not . produce a change of countenance, nor any sign of effort. Little study is requisite even for the most elaborate pieces ; and those of ordinary difficulty he can execute at once, on being permitted to cast his eye over them before taking his station at the pianoforte. The merits of this extraordinary boy are as yet known only in a very confined circle. He is shortly to be introduced to the King, who, hav ing heard his wonderful talents described, has expressed a desire to be enabled himself to judge of their reality. We . should almost fear, if through the eclat of such an introduction and such praise, young A.spull were compelled to run the gauntlet through the fashionable winter parties of the nobility ; the process might injure the bodily health of the rising artist, while his mind might suffer almost equally by the incense that would be offered to his vanity. But if he escape . these perils, he bears a b ou t bun prognostics of future eminence, which could not have been greater or more conclusive in the person of Mozart himself. SILK WEAVERS: WOR SHIP - STREET.—Yesterday the number of Silk Weavers, who,were anxiously in attendance at this Office to learn the opinion of the Magistrates, by far exceeded those of the preceding day.. As soon as Mr. BENNETT took his seat, and was informed that Mr. Newberry, jun. of the firm of Newberry and Sons, London Wall, was in attendance, agree able to his request, they immediately entered into conver sation with him respecting the work the men had out, unfinish ed at the former prices, and observed, that as this was an ac cidental circumstance, where they were not in fault, it would be but fair to let them be finished at the price agreed, upon. Mr. Newberry said, he had no objection to let the men finish the work on hand at the former prices, and that they had also his consent to apply to the Magistrates of the " Liberty of the Tower" for an assimilation of wages ; but whether the Magis trates of Middlesex would reduce their prices to the " Liberty of the Tower" standard, or whether the Magistrates of the " Liberty of the Tower" would raise theirs to those of Middle sex, he could not tell. He further stated, that the workmen in their employment were quite satisfied, from the quality of the materials they receive, to take the present prices of the " Li berty of the Tower ;" but then they, as them employers, dare not, as the law now stands, pay them that, without incurring a penalty of 501. for every such offence. Mr. BENNET—Can there be any way pointed out by which Mr. Newberry might he protected ? Mr. TWYF ORD—The law is imperative; he cannot be pro tected, as he is subject to the penalty should he violate it. A respectable Weaver then stepped forward, and asked their Worships' advice under very peculiar circumstances. He said he has been for some time past and still is in the employment of a Mr. Gilbert, of Fore-street, within the Liberty of the Tower; that he does not himself reside within the precincts of that jurisdiction, taking work from Mr. Gilbert, and manu facturing it at home in his own residence in another part of the county of Middlesex—whether or not he was violating an Act of Parliament subjecting him to a penalty of 40s. for such an offence, or three months to hard labour in the House of Correc— tion ? The intention of the law, he observed, was at least to be even handed ; for while it punished the j ourneyman f or receiv ing, it also twenty fold visited the master for paying. But was Mr. Gilbert to be protected from its operations at the moment he sent his men (who from necessity, perhaps, were obliged to accede to his terms,) to pine in a workhouse at hard labour ? He solemnly assured their AVorships there were hundreds ac well as he so situated, whose apprehensions were within these few days considerably excited in consequence of this business. He would, with submission, point out that clause in the Act which placed them in the dilemma.—" That if any journey man weaver or weavers within the districts aforesaid (meaning the County of Middlesex, the Cities of London and Ni r estininster, and the respective liberties thereof, and all places within the liberties of the Tower) shall ask, receive, or take more or less wages, or larger or less price for their work than shall be settled by the respective Quarter Sessions as aforesaid. shall forfeit a sum not less than 40s. ; and if the same fcrfeittire shall not be immediately paid, it shall and may he lawful for the said Justices to commit the said offender to the House of Correction to be kept at hard labour for a time not exceeding three months," There is (said he) another clause, that in case of a rise there must be fourteen days' notice on our part, and we should have a right to an equal indul , rence ; but in the present case we had none. Mr. Twrroftp said, that transgressing the law in the wav he looked at, was not for for working, but asking, taking, and receiving ; and as he asked, took, and received, his wages within the " liberties of the Tower," he considered in that re spect he and others so situated with him were perfectly safe; for when he went to that district, dare he ask, take, or receive more than the regulations gave. Mr. BENNETT did not consider the notice of fourteen days requisite on the part of the employer ; for if he had been paying him extra wages for ten years in ignorance of his error, it did not follow that he should give him fourteen days' notice of the future intentions. Mr. Collier, a parish officer, observed, that being thirty years in the silk trade, he begged leave to offer a few sug gestions. He said, the employer was equally as punishable under the .Act as the journeymen, and he instanced the case of " Parrington," against whom two convictions were fully main tained, and although removed into the King's Bench, they were there affirmed. Mr. BENNET T—As those men yesterday manifested a wish to have a public meeting on this business, I think it but right they should first proceed in that way --He then inquired if there were seven house-keepers among them ; and being answered in the affirmative, he then desired them to sign their names to that effect, giving eight days' notice, which the law requires ; and then he would, before next Monday, look more attentively to the Act, and also to the case of " Parr ington." The Requisition was instantly signed, calling a general Meet ing at the Red Lion, Phoenix-street, Spitaltields, on Saturday. the 10th instant.
