THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Paporr, July 8. [NORM NO rose.] It is a misfortune attending the present ac counts of the Revenue, that the progressive pros tserity of the country tennot be perceived in its 101 l extent, without a research and labour in cal culation bi hi( h few are willing to bestow. This arises from the complication, as regards the com parative produce of one year or one quarter with another, occasioned by the repeal of different taxes or duties at different times since 1821. For the most part, indeed, the prima facie result of these comparisons shews either a defalcation of income, or at most a trifling increase, and the greater number of people are willing to' forget the several remissions of duties to which this state of affairs is owing, while they affect disap pointment that the receipts, for example, of the year ending the sth inst. do not vastly exceed those of the year ending the sth of July,lB2l or 1822. Now the true criterion is this,that with diminished sources of revenue, our income has at least been stationary and not retrogressive. Had the taxes remained the same, the public would pro bably have been content to find that the Treasury experienced no deficiency ; but, as is cos tomary in all human concerns, the more we get the more we would have, and because the Reve nue has not augmented as much as the means whence it is derived have been surrendered., the re are some who complain of the slow pace of the national welfare. For our part, we will only ask such persons, if it were stated four years buck that besides retaining a clear Sinking Fund of five millions annually, we could also remit seven or eight millions of duties, and uphold the Mili tary and Naval Forces of the country, together with all its civil establishments, in a state of effec tiveness becoming the rank of this Empire among the great Powers of the world, who cook! have withht Id a smile from the supposition ? And yet these things have actually been more than accomplished ! In short, the only correct way of judging of the prosperity now enjoyed is, by stating the amount of taxation relinquished with in the last four years, and she wing that, notwith standing all our wants have been supplied, and all our greatness not only maintained but ac knowledged by Foreign Governments. This is the utmost that could have been desired ; but besides we have a Revenue increasing daily, and every ground for anticipating a further reduction of the public burdens in each successive year. Let the returns of the last quarter's revenue be estimated on these principles, and they defy cavil ; nay, they demonstrate that England is now flourishing beyond all former precedent. [BRITISH PRISS.] We understand that it has - been determined by his Majesty's . Government to accede to the request of the king of Portugal, for military aid during the disbandment of the licentious army, by which the tranquillity of Portugal has been so often disturbed. Several transports have been actually engaged for the conveyance of the troops, and the expectation that others will berequired has caused an advance of the rates of register.— It appears that this course will be taken with the entire approbation of the Allied Governments on the Continent. We shall, the'refore, run no risk of embroiling ourselves in any qUarrel in conse. (pence of this measure, which our interestsinot less than the exigencies of our ancient Ally, require. The condition of his Most Faithful Ma t jesty for many mosths has been most perilous. The intrigues of the Queen, and the ungovernable violence of Don Miguel, each prompted by a party who aim at rendering Portugal what that country was a century ago, have left the King no alter. native but that of calling upon the British Go. vqinment for their assistance, while he can reor ganise..the political system of his kingdom.' We have already remarked the wide difference between this interference on our part, and the invasions of Spain and Naples by the Allies. Irvery case of this kind • must be decided by its own peculiar merits. If John VI. were resisting the demands of his people for such ameliorations of the Government of Portugal as the state el public opinion and the CirCIAM* stances of the country called for, we should most unhesitatingly condemn any interference ; or if, contrary to the general sense and feeling of the age, be Was endeavouring to force changes which were repugnant to the common welfare of civilised Europe, we should equally feel dis inclined to favour his designs. But the conduct of the Portuguese Monarch, throughout the po 14tical revolutions which have agitated his king. dorm, has manifested It sincere: disposition to consult the interests and follow-the wishes of the great body, of his most intelligent subjects. If he. is thwarted in this benevolent purpose by an abandoned soldiery, who, on every alteration of their fickle humours, will snatch the sceptre from his hands, and menace his personal sa f e ty by the assassination of his private friends (the , MarqUiS de Loulle, for example,)—if, surrounded by a new set of Pretoria!) bands, he finds neither his throne nor his life secure, and is driven to ask for that assistance from without which his people cannot, however willing, give him from within, what opinion would he form of our friendship, if, under pretence that our conduct would be liable to misconstruction, we should re fuse to grant him the aid he solicits ? But sup. Posing every generous sentiment extinct on the part of the,British Government, would not oh. vines motives of policy induce US to accede to the requeiti.The app.cations of his most Faith fel Majesty have been repeated, e, iucreasing let urgency, and the last intimating that if we de (;lined tea omiply,witil them another Power woul d readily furnish the assistance required. It would be useless to attempt to disguise the fact, that this other Power is France. She is already iu military occupation of Spain. Shall she have the whale Peninsula' Shall I,ishon fail )ni i n i s e s s k o t i r l it s t u o t c u r t a io oy o into her possessiou, ? ,beceuse we will not enable the King of to ko wrath o no day' dictates to. and the next a despotism ? If wee bid ra f„,,A aid ourselves, could we him , ollit, c4 .d• to the Kingl obtaining it elsewhere ? The only course that remained for us was to consent, and in that act to spew the world that in moments of distress and danger we were not disposed to shelter our selves under a selfish policy, and shrink from the hazard of succouring an ally who was constant and unfailing through all the vicissitudes of the war. Let us in a more enlarged view, as well wishers to the human race, consider for what pur poses this aid is to be given. The King of Portugal is now controlled and embarrassed by a military force which overawes his authority. This force has instituted and subverted a Constitutional Govern men t,and at rresentappears to direct its views with out any veil to the absolute possession of all the powers of government. The people have dared to take no part in the mutinous proceedings of this body. All is in subjection to it, excepting only in so far as it is influenced by the appre hension it feels for the general judgment of the European Cabinets, the firmness of whose repre sentatives alone very lately rescued she King from its treasonable hands. If no foreign go vernment were to interfere, the Portuguese army would soon degenerate into a military faction, re sembling the Turkish Jauissaries. Every attempt on the part of either the King or people would be ineffectual to withdraw from their yoke. The state of Portugal cannot settle into peace ; nor can the institutions suitable to the wants of the people be established, until this hydra be de stroyed. The blessings of future generations of the Portuguese, more happy, we trust, than their ancestors, will follow the politic and hu mane decision of his Majesty's Ministers. [THE Tram j Mr. Canning made a shrewd enough guess at the nature and properties of the Irish Catholic '' Association," when he hinted his opinion that it might be safely left to itself, since, for bring ing it to that state out of which it ought never to have arisen,* its own members were means more convenient than any that the machinery of an act of Parliament could have provided. The Right Honourable Gentleman knew very well what mis chief a set of coxcombs are apt to inflict upon any party to which they profess to attach themselves. The vain turbulence of the Milesian Magnates has accordingly taken its full effect, just at the moment when the close of the rival Parliament at Westminster had left the O'Connels, O'Gor mans, and the rest of them, little more to be afraid of. But instead of cantering quietly over the course, these wiseacres began crossing and jostling with each other. Some flippancy of OPConnei's compelled the Secretary, their most efficient officer, to write them a " dignified" letter, and to resign. Then there were sundry vile debts to he paid which had been incurred for the sake of the Catholics and which one or two rigmarole fellows pretended were entitled to an appropriation out of the " rent," or poll-tax, hourly gathering in from every hovel in Munster. 'But O'Connel did not relish this 46 working for a dead horse," as the proverb goes : he would have no" editor of a newspaper ' or some such insignifi cant personage, printed a letter of the Conn. seller's own inciting, and dated several years before, attesting the fairues, of the very debts which were now sneered nt as so many fahrica. tions. This was rather sharp upon the .orator, who, in revenge, declared his contempt for the public press, and threatened to withdraw 114 patronage from it; at the same- time confessing that his character was left in such a dirty state, as to make its purgation resemble pretty closely a similar miracle performed of old upon the Au. Bean Stable. Be that as it may, the Chiefs of the Popish Democracry are all by the ears; and long may they continue so, for it is the only chance which .the cause of our respectable Ca tholic fellow-subjects has of prospering befwe the end of the present generation. [NEW TIMES:] " Supposing the decision of his Majesty's Go vernment to be, us it probably will be," says 7'he Courier, 44 to give the ,required aid to the King of Portugal, HattoVerian troops would doubtless be selected."—So, our worthy Cotem porary has found out that these said Ilanove- Hans are likely to be sent to Portugal after all! We congratulate him on his deep knowledge of State secrets. The Courier is a very Clever well written Paper, but it. has a little too,much hum bug about it. The public are not to be taken in by such stale pretensions to exclusive informa tion. The simple fact is,' that on Monday 'lnc Courier did not know whit to make of the story of the Hanoverians. On Tuesday it thought to put down the New Times by an arrogant, tone. and a bold contradiction.: and on Wedees. day it. discovered, as it has often done before, that it was wrong, and the New Times right.— This is the plain unvarnished state of the facts,' and all the quibbling about 64 forthwith" won't alter the case. If the Hanoverians are to go at all, they certainly are not to put off their de parture for a twelvemonth. Report indeed says, that two transports are already taken up for this service. This we ,do not vouch for. We only know that two vessels have been engaged, the Sovereign, of 398 tons, and the Earl St. Vincent, of 423 tons, and that the contract is made for six mouths certain. The Courier, perhaps, will tell us what is their real destination. [MORNING 'HERALD. j MOtiday's•Paris Papers arrived last night. A serious - and sudden depression of the' French Funds has caused general consternation, and great losses. is variously accounted for. One cause assigned js.the crisis of speculations made' upon the projected law for reducing the an nuities, which so unexpectedly failed in the Muse of Peers. Others ascribe it to a more ex tensive and permanent cause—the universal pre valence of the loan system throughont Europe, to such an amount that not only the repayment of the capital begins to be deemed- impossible, but that doubts are, entertained of th e ability t o continue due payment of the interest. A s li g ht fall in the foreign lauds, at Paris, spread alarm, and caused a still greater depression in the other money, markets of Europe, and the re- . action of the latter back upon the PitriS Market produced the fall which had just taken place of I nearly four per cent. During the day (Monday) however, it appears from the last accounts that the funds had recovered two per cent. The Minister, M. de Villele, seems all powerful in the Chamber of Deputies, but has to encounter a strong opposition in the Cham ber of Peers. The general examination of the public accounts of the year, and of the expenditure of the Spanish campaign, are about to be discussed in the Upper Chamber—and the Government is stated to be very apprehensive of being left in a minority. A defeat on questions so important, following the failure of his great financial project, would probably drive M. de Villele from the administration. This would only make room for Ultra-Royalists of a some what less calm and compromising character—so that to foreign countries the difference would be unimportant—whilst in France it is a party, rather than a national or popular question. The intelligence from Spain in these papers only chews that that country is still in a disorganized state. The Amnesty, as was expected, has pro duced confusion, rather than order or tranquillity. King Ferdinand found himself so overpowered by applications from persons whose coming within its operation was disputed, that he has given all such persons a public notice henceforth to apply to the tribunals—not to him. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The appearance at the same time of the Pope's Letter against Bible Societies, and of the Gene ral Order of his Royal Highness the Duke of York against the , distribution of Bibles to the Army, has given rise, we understand, to suspi cions which we are convinced are perfectly groundless. His Royal Highness has not, as far as we can understand, abeted one whit of his, hostility to the claims of the Catholics. It does, however, certainly seem odd that the Pope and his most bitter enemy should be found travelling the same road. One of the two must be on a wrong scent ; but whether his Holiness or his Royal Highness, we leave it for others to say. As his Royal Highness is understood to pique himself on the closeness with which he treads in the steps of his Royal Father, who was so anxious that every person in his dominions should have a Bible and be able to read it, we own we were rather astonished that he should have issued such an order—We were the more astonished when we remembered that about two years ago, a General Order appeared for playing the different regiments in communication with the Naval and Military Bible Society. Fickleness has seldom been imputed to his Royal Highness. But how are we to account for the change? Ibis Royal Highness does not surely think with the Pope, that the circulation of the Holy Scriptures has conduced to the detriment of religion— Neither can he have been influenced by the motive ascribed to him by some of the Dublin Papers ; namely, that he has taken alarm at the fanaticism of the army. However this may be, we under stand that a sort of compromise, since the issuing of the General Order, has taken place, in conse quence of the representations of several distin guished Peers, who take a sleep interest in the success of the Bible Societies. It was intended that the Chaplsins of regiments should alone be the medium of religious communication with the soldiers. The Officers in command are, however, to be allowed to dis- tribute Bibles to the men, independently of the Chaplains. Before concluding this subject, we may observe, that the manner in which his Holi ness characterises all the translations of the Bible into the Vulgar tongues, us being, " instead of the Gospel of Jes u s of Christ, r d i e t, D,.tluv, Gospel does of no not say or rather the Gos pel too much for his politeness. The C a th o li c Eng lish translations are of , course , included in the censure. We indeed hesitated for some time as to whether it would he safe for us to copy these opprobrious terms applied to it version sanctioned by the authority of the State. Er.orEmENT.—A Mr. and Mrs. D--, 01(.1 latter a very fine woman, who but a short time since kept an hotel and tavern in the city, have, since retiring from business, resided in the above neighbourhood; within the last fortnight suspicions have been entertained of a serious nature by the hus band. A male servant, whom Mr. 1). had taken into his employ, it appeared, had gained his mistress's favour, and at lenght it was reported to the husband that a criminal intercourse was the consequence. Mr. D., however, notwithstanding his vigilance, could perceive nothing improper. On Monday week last Mrs. D. disappeared, leaving her husband and 3 children ; and on the evening of the same day, to Mr. D.'s astonishment, his servant disappeared. An inquiry was set on foot, and most of the hamlets round town visited, hut nothing could be heard of the fugitives ; and the lady, who is above forty years of age, had taken with her, it was supposed, nearly 1001., from 'her bureau, besides other property. On Tuesday last Mr. D. re ceived a letter, announcing to him that Mrs. D. and a young man, formerly his servant, were living together at Portsmouth, and visiting the principal places of amusement, as man and wife. Mr. D. immediately prepared himself, loaded a brace of pistols, and avowed lee would proceed to Portsmouth, and lodge the contents in Mrs. D.'s body. Hitherto his friends have by force restrained hint from the iterpetration of this vie.- Latex, and we have heard he is now safely guarded for his own preservation. The three children are well provided for, even beyond what their paternal parent, who is a man of property, can leave them ; 3,0001. have be e n de w e d on each by a deceased uncle. — Yesterday morning as an old blind fiddler, ac companied by his faithful dog as his guide (who is well known in the neighbourhood of Camber well, and'Peckham), wait Passing* by Camberwell New Chu rc h, o pp o site to Which is a deep ditch, the animal being attra cted by the ap pearance of a large wa t er rat, made a sudden spring towards the dit c h, and the ground being in a sloping direction, the poor fiddler lost his balance, and was th us pl un ged over head and ears, dragging the unconscious author of the ac cident after him. The dog in extricating himself from his half-drowned master, ran to some la bourers who were at work in an adjoining field,who, by his moans and lamentations, were induced to follow him to the sp o t, where they fortunately arrived just in time to preserve the itinerant mu sician from a watery grave. A gentleman of known liberality, with the most charitable feel ing, gave the labourers three shillings for their prompt exertions ,in the cause of humanity, and made the son of Apollo a present of two: sove reigns to replace hiS instrument, which was com pletely destroyed. The charitable actions of this individual, whose name we forbear to-mention-- his greatest pride being to ". do good by stealth, a nd blushing to find it fame," have long been the theme of admiration in that neighbourhood. DR. JEREMY TAYLOR'S LIFE. " No part, indeed, of the administration of Ire land by the English Crown has been more extra ordinary and,more unfortunate, than the system pursued for the introduction 'of the Reformed Religion. Instead of sending, in the first instance, Missionaries well skilled in their native tongue, o convince the inhabitants of the errors of their ancient faith, and conciliate them to a reception of the new, the Churches were filled with English Preachers, whose nation made them unpopular, and whose ignorance of the language which only their parishioners could speak or understand with readiness, prevented all extensive benefit from their zeal, however warm, and their abili ties however considerable. It was not even thought necessary to furnish them with a trans- 'talon either of the Liturgy or the Scriptures ; though, by a refinement in absurdity, they were to be compelled by a fine (which, indeed, was rarely _ _ _ enforced) toattendance on the church service which was still more unintelligible to them than their ancient mass book, without having the same early associations to recommend it to them. Ac cordingly, while Wales, from an opposite line of treatment, received the doctrines of the Refor mation with avidity, and, at an early period was become almost exclusively' Protestant ;—while the Norman Isles have ever since been amongst the most faithful adherents of the Episcopal Church, from the advantage of French preachers and a French service book—lreland, with a people above most others docile, and susceptible of new impressions, has remained, through a great majority of her population, in the profes don of a creed discountenanced by the State, and under the dominion of prejudices, which even to the present moment no effectual measures have been taken to remove. A few uncon nected, though zealous, and, so far as they went, successful efforts to remove this igno rance, were made by such men as Usher and the excellent Bishop Bedell, and afterwards by Mr. Boyle. But Government, which ought to have given the first impulse, was bent on a nar row and illiberal policy of supplanting the Irish by the English language, to which the present moral and religious instruction of millions was to give way ; and which, though it has in part suc ceeded, (through circumstances of which the march was altogether independent of the mea sures taken to forward it), has left a division of the national heart, far worse than that of the tongue, and perpetuated prejudices, which might at first have been easily removed or softened. — Even now, though -the liturgy has been trans lated, and though there are team parishet where 'English is almost unknown, throughout Ire land, if I am rightly informed, no public prayers are offered up in the ancient language; and though a version of the Scriptures has long ex isted, it is only within the last few years that any attempts have been made to circulate them among the poor. It was, certainly, the misfortune of Ireland, and one which materially prevented the appli cation of any active means for the conversion of her natives to a pure mode of faith and worship, that among the English clergy, who were the first heralds of Protestantism to her shores, a large proportion were favourers of the peculiar system of Calvin ; a system, of all others, the•least at tractive to the feelings of a Roman Catholic ; and the professors of which, as they looked on their brethren of the Church of England as themselves little better than idolaters, have generally been more inclined to spend their zeal in a distur bance of the internal peace of their own com munion, than in an energetic extension of the general principles of Protestantism among those who are without its pale. " The Roman Religion," as Taylor himself observes, 44 is here amongst us a faction, and a state party, acid design to recover their old laws and barbarous mode of living—a device to enable them to dwell alone, and to be 64 populus unius labii," a people of one language unmixed with others. And if this be religion, it is such a one us ought to be reproved by all the severities of reason and true religion, lest the people perish, and their souls be cheaply given away to them that make merchandise of souls, which were the purchase and price of Christ's blood !" If the Roman Catholics, as he (Taylor) had previously complained in this same preface (Preface to " Dissuasive from Popery") were so studiously kept back by their spiritual guides from acquir ing a knowledge of English, It was surety a very obvious measure for the preachers- of the true faith to inform themselves in the ancient Irish. It was a course which Bedell had tried with suc cess, to introduce, as far as possible, the Scrip tures and the Liturgy in that language into the Churches ; and to promote to the care of parishes, in preference to all others, such Ministers as were able to cope with the friars on their own ground, and enable the peasants to hear the Gos " every man in his own tongue wherein he was born." 46 Had such a system even then been adopted, it is impossible to suppose much good might not have been effected ; and this very discourse of Taylor's, though too long and toolearned to pene trate among the mountains, and into cottages, yet, as furnishing the agents in the work of con. version with arguments adapted alike to the ignorant and the learned, with zeal increased in proportion to their own knowledge of the im portance of the truths which they conveyed, and with that celestial armoury of spiritual wea pons which his admirable knowledge of Scrip ture has supplied—might have itself been a source of light to thousands, a means, in God's hand, of drying up the waters of bitterness, and removing the greatest obstacle which has existed to the peace and prosperity of the empire. What peculiar hinderances they were to which he alludes, (and it is but reasonable as well as charitable to believe that some such intervened to prevent the adop tion of a plan so apparently obvious) whether they were confined to Taylor's own diocese, or arose from the general state of the country, and the neglect or impolicy of its Government, it is now by no means easy to determine. The resto. ration of the Protestant Episcopal Church seems to • have been a juncture peculiarly favourable for such exertions as I have meutioned; and it is dif- Ships at Market. 844 Newcastle 40 Sunderland ficult to suppose that forms so like their own, and doctrines so conformable to reason, would have produced a less effect on the minds of the Irish than has since been done by the preaching of the wildest and most ignorant sectaries. " But for the neglect or the oversight, if such existed, it was not Taylor mho was chiefly an swerable ; he was one of many, and in rank not among the most eminent; and he was already sinking under the burthen, not of years, but of a constitution broken with study and adversity, and which was still more effectually crushed by severe domestic affliction."—(Dr. ca's Life of Jeremy Taylor, 1824.)

The Fives Court exhibition for the benefit of Barney Aaron and Israel Belasco was not very well attended. The sets-to wore few, but good, as follow : Langan and Ab. Belasco.—This was the most interesting set-to of the day. The fine science of Belasco met Langan 's rush in a manner not expected with gloves. Aby stood first of the two. Langan was hit most, and his opponent broke away most dexterously from body hits. Inglis and Deaf Davis made a very gallant set-to. It was all rally and hitting, with equal advantage, and when the gloves were pulled off there was no best about it. Bitton and Oliver made a very good turn loose. Barney Aaron and Israel Belasco finished by some scientific movements, after which Barney offered to give Matthewson 101.. to contend with him on a stage for 2001. MATCH TO GO ON FOOT 280 MILES IN 95 HOURS. A Pedestrian from Cumberland, of the name of Sneath, finished his performance at six o'clock yesterday morning.— The match was for 200 sovereigns, to start from the Haymarket, and to travel into seven counties, so as not to pick the roads. AQUATIC UNDERTAKING. Two young Gentlemen, named Moxsy and Edwards, have undertaken, for a wager of 50 sovereigns to 100, to row in wherry from Westminster-bridge to Gravesend and back, and thence to Richmond, and return to the place of starting, in 18 successive hours—the distance is computed upwards of 100 miles. The day for deciding this great performance is fixed for Saturday next, to start at three o'clock in the morning. DEATh OF A WITCU.-411 the department of the Drome a woman was lately killed, under the extraordinary impression that she was a witch.— This woman was paid by the peasants of her neighbourhood for telling them good fortune, or for abstaining from tieing them harm. She lately went to the farm of a peasant, and asked a reward for conjuring the danger which threatened his cattle. He refused her request, and treated her pretensions with insult. Soon after he lost some of his cattle, and his wife and children fell ill. He immediately ascribed these calamities to the supernatural influence of the hag; but, so far from being terrified at her power, he took his gun, repaired to her house, and deliberately shot her dead. The misguided man is to be tried at the approaching assizes for the department of the Drome. He acknowledges the act of which he was guilty, but declares that he shot the devil under the form of the wicked hag. On Tuesday afternoon, a very serious accident happened to the Lady of Colonel PALMER, of Park-place, Regent's -park. The lady was pro ceeding down the upper part of the New-road, in her dennett, when the horse becoming un manageable, she was thrown out with great violence. Several persons instantly ran to her assistance, and on raising her from the ground, it was feared that she was seriously injured : both. legs were dreadf u lly b ru i se d, an d it i s t h oug ht that the small bones of the left leg are broken...—. Prompt surgical aid was procured, and she was taken home. The dennett was ilf arly smashed to atoms. The groom escaped with only a few bruises. We are happy to learn, up on goo d authorit y, that there is no truth in the report in circulation, that the Reverend JOHN M ACDONALD, of Urqu hart, Ross-shire, was drowned 'on his way home from the island of St. Kilda.—(Aberdeen Journal.)
