t.s 4 ~..• DAILY [MORNING CHRONICLE.] . - THE LONDON JOURNALS. Extracts from the Morning Papers, March 13. The French Papers, in commenting on the communications between France and Spain re specting South America, lately presented by Ministers to Parliament, remark that England has taken one side and the Holy Alliance an other, and they predict from this circumstance that the general recognition of the new States is at no great distance,—We wish our Government had always acted with the wisdom and spirit which have been displayed on this occasion.— Mr., Canning has maintained the dignity and at tended to the interests of the country at the same time.—The course which he has announced will ensure the object he has in view without en dangering our tranquillity ; because England has nothing at present to fear from the powers of the continent combined ; and so long as she confines herself to her own element, she possesses that de cided superiority which must extinguish on their part all hope of successful opposition. In the present case, too, the interests of England and the United States happen to coincide, and the 'factor have expressed themselves with still more determination than we have done. We have here a striking proof of the truth of the observation of M. Chas. Dupin, in the section of his Travels last published—" Thus, from the vigour of her institutions, and her advancement in civil .and military arts, an island, which in the Oceanic Archipelago would hardly be reckoned third rate, causes the effects of her industry, and .the weight of her power, to be felt in every ex tremity of the four parts of the world, while at the same time she peoples and civilizes a fifth part, which will follow her laws, speak her lan guage, and receive her manners and commerce with her arts and intelligence." It seems at first sight singular that the 120 millions whom the Holy Alliance command as subjects, should be enable to give any serious annoyance to England. When we consider, too, that the successive Go vernments of this country, so far from displaying any particular wisdom, have wasted its re sources in impolitic and unjustifiable wars, from the last and the most expensive of which, into which Mr. Pitt so unnecessari ly plunged us, we are just beginning to recover, the impotence of the Holy Alliance compared with us becomes the more striking. But, though the Government has not been wise, the people have been virtually free, and their enterprize has been allowed full scope.—The Governments of the Continent are weak from the very means taken by them to become strong. The industry and enterprise of a people can alone create real strength ; but the Governments in question ex pend all that they draw from their people, in controuling the spirit which alone can give birth to enterprise, and cramping their energies. Their armies of soldiers and police are, as it were, so many guards placed over their subjects to retain them in indolence. So long as the Governments of the Continent shall be niaintained against their own people by armies, England has little to fear from them. Should the Governments become one with the people, the latter might become powerful, but free nations can have no motive for injuring each other. [BRITISH PR ESS.] MrAIUSICISSOB, in the absence of Mr. Canning, stated last night the intention of the Right Hon. Gentleman to submit to the House, on Tuesday next, an important stat ement an d papers relative to the West Indies. . He stated the intention of Mr. Canning, at the same time, to bring in a Bill, tile object of which would be to make the trading in slaves by British subjects piracy. An enact ment of this description will lie the only ef fective mode to destroy for ever this nefarious traffic. The foreign barter in slaves never will he generally put an end to until other countries follow our example, and conc e d e th e r i g h t of search, visiting with the consequences of piracy this horrible trade in the li ves an d rntseries of the people of Africa. All parties must cordially unite in such an object, however they may disagree as to any present internal regulations respecting the slave population throughout the West Indies. The fact is, that the slave trade, now so universally reprobated anti proscribed by law, was long not only connived at, but formally recognized and sanctioned by government. More humane and enlightened views have - since been adopted, not only by our Legislature, but by the civilized world in general, and the united voice of all has at length proscribed this abominable traffic, though to a certain extent it is yet carried on by the subjects of some of the continental powers. But the late agitated state of the West Indies will require the most calm and cautious policy to ensure the continuance of tranquillity ; a different conduct would shake the islands like a hurricane, and endanger the lives and proper ties of the European residents all through the co lonies. Anxious anticipation now attends the promised important statement of Mr. Canning on Tuesday night. Any measures proposed by the Right Honourable Secretary will, we are sure, have equally in view the safety and prosperity of the colonies, and the character and justice of this great country. [THE TIMES.] It seems likely that the new Came Act ,will pasS the Commons. We feel a certain degree: of timidity in speaking on this subject, and shall tell our readers the reason. We have often obieried in common life, bow very little understanding' will suffice to render a man excessively knoW:: ing, and' really quite 44 up to" that subject, whatevei it may be, upon which he thinks al ways. :And as the sporting gentry but rarely suffer their attention to be diverted to other sub jects, and are almost exclusively occupied (we were going to say body and sou!) in the preser vation and destruction of game, the right of , manors, leave to sport, qualifications, licences, and deputations, we know that if we were to make the slightest mistake, we should be ex _ posed to the detection, o f not t h e brightest or tnnst intellectual' portion of our fellow-subjects, but to one perfectly au fait to the present ques tion. We confess, however, in spite of this dis claimer, that the act seems to us to be a very monstrous one. It makes the game—(under which name is included several species not be fore acknowledged as such)---it makes the game, we say, under this sweeping denomination, pro perty ; but property to whom ? Why, to the landlord—exclusive property to the landlord ! and that, after he has let the land on which it is reared and fed to the tenant. We really should be gin to suspect, that the next step in legislation, upon the same principle, might be to enable the landlord to pursue, take, and destroy, the calves and lambs of the occupier of the land, or to let that right of destroying them to others. The third clause seems to us a direct invasion of property; for it ordains, that where the landlord has, by lease, conceded to another the full and exclusive possession and enjoyment of what be comes by that act the leasehold property of the tenant, the landlord may invade or enter that property pending the existing lease ; and he tray not only so invade and enter it himself, but may transfer that right of invasion and entry, either gratuitously or for a valuable consideration, to another. We cannot exactly see how poaching is to be prevented by the 13111 as it stands at pre sent. To the sale of game there can be no ob jection; for to allow of it is only to legalize that which is in as full practice as any the most ordi nary transaction of human life. [MORNING POST.] One of the most malignant, and at the same time one of the most unfounded attacks, which has ever defiled the columns of a Newspaper, appeared the other day in a contemporary,against both the personal and judicial conduct of the Head of the Court of Chancery. The studied barbarity with which reiterated hopes were insi nuated of the speedy close of his Lordship's career, seemed to adapt the article rather for readers with the cannibal propensities of New Zealanders than for the civilized inhabitants of England. We shall not, however, stoop to notice the atrocious personalities which were used to season the vapid arguments of the writer ; but we think it due to the public to expose the flimsey pretexts on which it is sought to bring into contempt the highest tribunal of the country.— One fact we would observe is implied throughout the article, which in itself is nearly sufficient to refute the worst charges which have been pre ferred against the Lord Chancellor. The enor mous increase of business attached to his Lord ship's office within the last few years is taken for granted, and the gravamen of the accusation is, not that the duties of the Chancellorship have been neglected, but that since their accommoda tion they have been wrongly divided. Thus it is admitted, on the authority of Sir Samuel Romilly, that no judge who ever sat on the Wool sack before the Earl of Eldon spent so much time, or was so assiduous in deciding bankruptcy petitions as his Lordship. —it is also said, that he is equally prompt and zealous in the det e rmining of lunacy petitions. theref ore , th a t i n t h ese t wo b ranc h e s of his Juri sdiction there is neither delay nor indecision to be complained of. What then is the con clusion deducible from the writer's own statement of facts ? It is as follows—that in bankruptcy cases, when dispatch and decision are so indis pensable, particularly in a commercial country like this, and also in lunacy cases when dispatch and decision are likewise so indispensabl e , to save property from waste and spoliation, the present head of the Court of Chancery outstrips all his predecessors ! The motive imputed to the Lord Chancellor, in both instances, is beneath remark : for supposing it to exist, he can only rceive fees on the petitions of which he dis poses, and the sooner they are determined and the fees paid, the better for the suitors—the more advantageous for the public. But notwith standing the alleged avidity of the Great Seal for his lawful emoluments, and notwithstanding the assistance of the Vice-Chancellor in gather ing in the golden harvest, what is the fact actually stated by his Lordship's bitterest enemies ? It is that the other business of the Chancery has of late multiplied exceeding ly ! And then comes another grave accusa tion, namely, that without any additional expence to the public such means have been devised for temporarily faciliating the hearing of Appeals in the House of Lords, in order that th e Lord Chancellor may the more speedily decide them, as will enable his Lordship to devote more of his time to the remaining description of Chancery causes than he could possibly have so applied hitherto. The whole of the charges, there fore, come to this—that the Lard Chancel lor of England is not possessed of übiquity and omnipotence—that he cannot do five or ten times as much business as his ablest pre decessors were ever tasked with—and that in endeavouring to meet the magnitude and multi plicity of his duties, he endeavours to dispatch those of most importance to the public most speedily, and to hasten the determination of others, with the least possible addition to the burdens of the State. We may well say that in thus attacking the Court of Chancery, the ene mies of the Earl of Eldon " bite against a file." TIMES.] The able argument of Mr. Peel on Thursday in support of Mr. ,- Stuart Wortley's Bill for the Amendment of the Game Laws, will have been • read with interest by all who direct their thoughts to that subject. We should greatly regret the adoption of any measure Which might tend to ren der the Gentry of England' absentees from their estates ; for we hold ttuit the frequent and cor dial intercourse of landlOrd with tenant is one • great causes of harmony and strength in the con stitution of soc i e ty. But surely laws may be devised which, While they leave to the higher ranks of society the means of healthful amuse ment, will check the baneful habit of poaching, so injurious to the morals of the labouring class. Such we understood to be the object of Mr. Stuart Wortley's Bill ; and it is gratifying 'to observe the Secretary of State for . the Home Department availing him Self of the ,offi c i a l , trieans a ff or d e d by hi s high stq-Ijon acqmirefor„ the use of Parliament precise and accurate infor mation of facts on which to ground their legisla tive enactments. In order to ascertain whether the existing laws against the purchase and sale of game were really operative, Mr. Peel di rected returns to be made from Bristol, Li verpool, Glasgow, and Manchester of the number of convictions for those offences within the last five years. It turned out that in the three former of these towns not a single convic tion had taken place, and in the last only four persons had been convicted in five years. Ishii is quite conclusive; for nobody can doubt but that during the season game in abundance is daily sold in all those towns. In another state of the law, those sales would no longer be made by poachers exclusively. Poaching therefore would no longer be a gainful occupation, and we might reasonably hope that many of those who now pursue it would betake themselves to the pursuits of honest industry. I -MORNING HERALD.] On Thursday night, in the House of Lords, there was some discussion on the recent payment, on the part of Austria,of2,soo,Qoo/. The Opposi tion Lords appear to be dissatisfied with the bar gain. The words " God-send," made use of by Mr. Robinson in the other house, were ridiculed by Lord Lansdown and other Noble Lords.— Now we differ from those Noble Lords ; we do not think that Mr. Robinson could have used more appropriate words. What Englishman does not think but that it was a " God-send ?" Who ever expected that England would receive one farthing for that debt ? But we will go farther, and ask what Englishman, who re members the late war, would have expect ed any thing from Austria ? As far as we remember, it was a war principally on the part of England against France—a war originating in England's fears, that should France succeed in setting up a free Government, she would become a rival to England. Those, to the best of our recollection, were the grounds for the war, and England, by means of her agents, stirred up, in all quarters, every Power, however inferior, to render her assistance, and gave them money for that purpose. The French eudea- voured to remain at peace. They sent over a special Ambassador, whom we sent away without so much as hearing him. There were then two most extraordinary men—both young, both full of ambition, obstinate and vain—both sons of two highly gifted parents, who had been at great pains in their political education. W e allude to Pitt and Fox—men of extraordinary natural and ac quired talents ; equal, it not superior, in the gift of eloquence, to probably either the Gre cian or the Roman orators ; the one at the, head of the Tory party, in place, and deter minedeac to keep it—the o th er a t th e h ea d of the Whig party, n o t i n pl ace , y e t, w i t h his party, desirous of o bt a i n i ng it. Th ese risen divided the country, and th a t at a most cri tical period. The one was goa d ed on by the high Tory party t o ma k e war with Frant - e, to prevent the spread of the example in sweeping away titles an d their appendages ; the other goaded on by the Whi gs , w h o expect ed that, should a chang e t a k e p l ace , t h ey wou ld shine as second Condo r cets, Brissots, ' tons, Franklins, &c. These parties were pitted against h othe r ,With a consummate orator at the head of ench• One p ar ty f ear ing that should );'Tench the (lion e x t en d it s example to England, it would los e a ll—th e o th er expecting, in such a case, that they s h ou ld ga i n th e titl e o f regen e rato r s. Now ) wh en two men lik e t h ese were ) at the head of t" Patties, it might have been ex pected that one or the other would triumph.— Pitt triumphed, and his triumph left us a debt of 800 millions. What might have been the re sult had Fox been victorious, no one can tell. His triumph mig!tt, by Possibility, have been accom panied by our becoming a province of France ; but be this as it may, Pitt, goaded on by his party,and beset by Pox and the other party, could probably not have kept his ground, but by plung ing the country into war. In order, therefore, to effect the trampling down of France, he ran sacked Europe for allies. Among the foremost was Austria* and it o n h gt to be recorded to h e r honour, that, take her altogether, she proved faithful. She fought till she could fight no longer—we do not recollect any instance in which she betrayed us. Even when she made peace with France, it was when her capital was in possession of the French ; and though she afterwards enlisted in Buonaparte's league against us and the Empero r of Russia, yet who forgets the unwilling manner in which she as sisted Buonaparte in his invasion of Russia ; and that, as soon as the least chance offered for aban doning the French and joining us, it was embrac ed ? As for the money we lent, it was consider ed, at the time, a mere farce. The Whigs said they never expected England would receive back one farthing. England forced those loans on Austria, not for the advantage of the latter, for she could have often made peace with France, especially when Napoleon was Emperor. It was generally understood that the most pressing offers were made by him to induce Austria to forsake us. It is more than pro bable that a large slice of Turkey was of fered to her, and a portion of England's possessions in the East. These offers were probably communicated to our Cabinet, and what Englishman can doubt but that our money was offered to Austria, to induce her to remain our Ally ? If such be the fact, how should it be expected that Austria would pay us back what we advanced for our own preservation ? What we have got we look upon indeed, trilling as it is, as a " God-send." I, 'PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.--Yesterday evening, the Anniversary of this excellent Institution, was celebrated at the'Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn fields, when a numerous and highly respectable attendance took place. His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, in the Chair, supported by Lord l'orteiNoToN, and several other persons of distinction, and the gallery .was filled with elegantly attired' Ladies. The Report, which was read by the Secretary, pre sented a most flattering account of the Society ; and in the course of the night it was most gratifying .to witness the -procession. of the various objects of the Institution, all bearing . the most healthy and clean appearance, parading the room with their handicraft. FOR THE SUN. Ma. EDITOR—In some of your late numbers you have endeavoured to prove, that the measure intended to be adopted of permitting the free ex portation of British Wool would be injurious to the country. It appears to me that you have not paid sufficient attention to the subject, for is it not quite clear, Mr. Editor, that in proportion to the demand for wool, and in proportion to the extent of the market which the farmer has, or knows he can be secure of, for that or any species of valuable produce which his lands will yield, insomuch will he exert himself to increase that article. Now, as it will be impossible for him to grow a greater quantity of wool without increas ing the number of his sheep, he must, of course, give employment to many people, not only to feed and to fold them, but to raise crops for their sub sistence. The adding to the number of his sheep will enable the farmer to raise a greater quantity of the most valuable of manures, and by so doing he wilt have it in his power to grow crops of wheat, of barley, of oats, of turnips, and other root crops, and every kind of artificial grass, upon his poorest soils—soils which, without the aid of the manure of sheep, would yield little or no thing; hut, besides, the valuable crops above mentioned, which the farmer would obtain upon poor and low-rented lands, to the manifest ad vantage of the community, the additional num ber of sheep reared to supply the contemplated fo reign demand, as well as the usual home demand for wool, would certainly occasion great abundance, and lower the price of that article, and thereby extend our manufactures incalculably ; anti as the sheep are not to be exported under any cir. cumstances, an abundance of meat and of tal low will be brought to market, as well as of skins, and some other materials for manufactures, and I cannot too often repeat, that in proportion to the increase of the growth of wool, these good things will abound, and our lands will become more and more fertilized, and more and more ca pable of producing grain. I beg you, therefore, Mr. Editor, to observe, that, having abundance of food, and wool, and coal, for our machines at command, both to assist in making them and to set them in motion, it is quite impossible that foreigners should ever rival us in woollen fa brics, except it arises from our own indolence. 1 am, Sir, Your obedient humbl e servant AN IRISH LAND" 31areli 9. - - Y. S.—Before I close this letter, I cannot help remarking, that the soil and climate of Ireland lion o f G overnment, country geaortf h s ; he a e u p d a than sit are better adapted to the fe u e p d o i i n i to mak e s t ren uous exertions atiii,apt(olrfs decidedlyarty' other the to promote the in dustry of its inhabitants, I - am surprised that something has not been done to induce the culti vators of land to grow wool. Bounties, I admit, in most cases do harm ; the bounty for the in land carriage of corn to Dublin caused the divi sion and subdivision, and the breaking up of some of the finest grass-land in the world. Buonaparte's decrees, and the high prices during the war, gave further encouragement to the Irish tenants to crop their fields with corn without mercy ; if there is any little fertility still remaining in the lands which have been broken up in the south of Ire land, the people of that country only require the linen manufacture to be perfectly established amongst then] by hqunties to occasion a still fur ther division of lands, and to complete their ex haustion : the only bounty which appears to me unobjectionable, would be a bounty to encourage the, growing of wool, because at the same time that you increase the quantity of that valuable material, you are very rapidly promoting the im provement of land ; but whether or not it may be thought adviseable to promote the growing of wool, by a bounty, this I am convinced of, that unless some severe measures are adopted to put a stop to the stealing of turnips in Ireland, very few sheep can be kept there. I have been for above twenty-five years endeavouring to in troduce the cultivation of turnips upon my estate in the South, but cannot accomplish it. As soon as the turnips grow to any size, the common people carry them away as if they were public property ; I am much inclined to forgive a man, who depends upon potatoes for his subsistence, for stealing wood for fuel, because he and his family might have gone without food if he had not committed the theft ; but stealing turnips is a wanton outrage, destructive of a system of agri culture particularly suited to the soil of Ireland— an outrage which a New Zealand savage, in si milar circumstances with the Irishman, would have too much sense and conduct to be guilty of, and which should be visited by prompt and. severe pu nishment. I trust that Government will not think this too trivial a matter to legislate upon---- but will condescend to take it into consideration, and apply a remedy to the grievance. THE NEW LONDON BRIDGE.-The water-side, from London Bridge to the Iron Bridge, was yesterday crowded to excess by persons to see the diving-bell, which has been brought for the purpose of examining the ground for the founda tion of the new bridge. A Surveyor, a Gentle man of distinction, and two navigators, descended in the bell, and remained under water an hour and a half. The populace manifested the greatest anxiety while they were under water, and cheered when the diving-,bell was raised, and they. ap peared., DELIBERATE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.-Thurs day afternoon, about two o'clock, a man of re spectable appearance went into the Crown public house, in Essex-street, Strand, and ordered a pint of porter, where he sat (in the tap-room) till about ten o'clock, when, the room being nearly empty, Mr. Router, the landlord, having occasion to fete!► seine hot water, saw the.man in the act of cutting his throat. Mr. B. had the presence of mind to throw the boiling water at the. wound, which caused him to drop the knife, and stagger round. the room. Medical aid was immediately sent for, and the wound was dressed, which - fortunately proved by no means dangerous. Ike was afterwards conveyed to St. Clement's workhouse, where he still remains in a fair way of recovery. It has since been -ascertained that his name is Crowder (a carrier), residing. in Parker-street, Drury-lane. POLICE INTELLIGENCE• MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. I .

The two persons, the mome nt the piece was fired, went into Mr. Bland's house. Mr. Bat rison went immediately to Mr. Bland's shop, where he saw the defendant Redford, who replied very flippantly to his questions, and ventured to say, that if his employer, Mr. Bland, were at home, he would spew him (Mr. Harrison) the door. H e a dded, that Mr. Bland was out of town, and said, " he may be at how to-morrow, or to-morrow week, just as it happens." White, the waterman, was asked if either of the defendant' s was the person who fired the pistol or gun ; and after much ?lc; citation, and looking first at one and then at the other, he s 3i ' : "he should be sorry to swear —he did not like to swear—M could not safely swear to either of them. There were only tw° persons in that part of the street at the time ; one of those must have fired the gun or pistol; and those persons retreated int° Mr. Bland's shop. The defendants denied all knowledge of the matter ; and Taylor said, that while he was closing the shop shutters, he heard the report of a gun or pistol, but did not see the flash. He sat another person standing a yard or two from him at the time he heard the report. Redford was in the house at the time. Redford denied any knowledge of the matter beyond hear" ing the report of fire arms. Mr. HALLS said he should decline giving any opinion upon the case in its present stage ; and should give an opportunity for another hearing, in order that other witnesses might be brought forward. Another time was then fixed for the further investigation" and the defendants were allowed to go at large upon bail. INTREPIDITY OF A BAR-MAID. HATTON.GARDEN.—Yesterday Thomas Webster, a lode r in the hous e o f M r. W oo dh ouse, of the Red Lion, Little Curd' find-street, B runsw i c k .square, was brought up by John Bull, keeper of the Foundling watchhouse, upon a charge cf robbery , under the following circumstances:—lt appeared in evidence that Mr. Woodhouse has for some time past missed every morn ing a quantity of copper, and occasionally silver, from his tar till, and though h e h a d hitherto used every exertion that could lead to detection, they were unavailing. His health, as also his wife's being extr emely d elicate, his bar-maid, named Abigail Barry (a fine young woman), volunteered on Thursday night to be secreted in the bar, and watch for the depredator; cc .oraingly about four o'clock yesterday morning the prisoner came down stairs, and contrived, by sliding one of the shutters of the bar , . to put in his hand, and undo the bolt which secured the doo r on the inside, and thereby gained access to the till. After lie had well loaded himself with copper, many of which were Pre' viously marked by the landlord, the bar-maid spry n; up on hint from her place of concealment, and though he was a power' ful man she pinioned him so closely that he could not throw single penny out of his pocket (which he struggled hard to do) , before the landlord and others came to her assistance and cured him, when, on being searched, all the marked 'none/ was found upon him. The Magistrate complimented the yol , ng woman highly on h er reso l ut i on and zeal in her master's Or' vice, and fully committed the prisoner for trial. METEOROLOGICAL JOURNAL. BY 34.. BANKS.
