TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, June 19, [BRITISH PRESS.] Rumours for a day or two have been afloat, founded on the authority of a letter from St. Thomas's, dated the 13th of May, stating that accounts had reached that island from La Guayra, of Bolivar's having been defeated by Canterac, in a pitched battle in Peru, and that Lima was, in consequence, re-occupied by the Royalists.— Letters, two days later, from St. Thomas's, which we have seen, are wholly silent on the subject, and the report is now utterly discredited. It is almost impossible, from the distance, that any very recent intelligence could reach La Guayra from Peru. The journey is, immense ;it would have to travel from Lima to Trnxillo on the coast, from that to Guaquil, thence over land to Quito and Bogota, and so on to Caraccas and La Guyara, a most tedious and difficult route. The last accounts from Lima, to the 31st January, stated negociations to be then on foot between Bolivar, Canterac, and the Peruvian Congress, for a general accommodation. The Spanish Ge neral, who is a decided Constitutionalist, having been apprised of the restoration of despotism in Spain, had changed all his plans in consequence. it is very unlikely that this - negociation should have been suddenly broken off, and a decisive battle fought, ending in the defeat of Bolivar, and the capture of Lima ; all, too, within so short a time, particularly when we know that both ar mies were considerably removed from each other, and in a country where every movement is so dif ficult. Every thing tends to discredit the report altogether. Some occurences of a painful nature are said to have taken place at Maracaibo, where the troops had mutinied, from the delay of pay. No vessels from that place had arrived for some time, and the result was not, in cvsequence, known. [THE TIMES.] A letter from Mexico of the 2Gth of March has been received, which states that the country enjoyed perfect tranquillity, and that the elec tions of members for the Congress of the States of Mexico had taken place in every part, with out any opposition whatever. The Government had received intelligence of the departure of the Ex-Emperor Iturbide from Italy, and of his ar rival in England ; in consequence of which the General Congress had passed a decree for annul ling the pension of 25,000 dollars, assigned to him on his abdication. EMORNIING POST.] We received - last night, by Express, French Papers to the 18th inst. They are still almost wholly taken up with the bickerin,,gs of parties, and contain very little intelligence. The Jour nal des Dawes, which is now the chief organ of the Opposition, has an article from Odessa, dated the 23d of May, which states that a Turkish Corps, from Scala Nuova had landed on the island of Samos, but had been entirely de stroyed. Letters of the 3,1 of June from Trieste, however, are silent on the subject ; and it seems more likely that, if the intelligence were correct, it would have been received through that chan nel instead of the more distant and more cir cuitous road of Odessa. Private letters re ceived from Paris in the course of yesterday stat ed that reports prevailed in the French capital of serious commotions having broken out in Madrid and Cadiz. The King's brother, Don Carlos, was said to have placed himself at the head of the Ultra Royalists, by whom many French soldiers had been assassinated. The latter, it was added, had, however, ultimately triumphed, and had caused the most Ultra Mi nisters to be turned out. The only French Paper which notices these rumours is the Quotidienne (now Ministerial), and it only notices then to declare" that they had no foundation whatever." Now, this is going perhaps too far on the other side; it is difficult to believe that Spain is en tirely at rest under the mismanagement of the present Despot, but there is no doubt that the reported insurrectionary movements are greatly exaggerated. [MORNING HEttALD.] Mr. Brougham last night presented a Petition from the (louse of Keys, in the Isle of Man, complaining, tiist, that they were not admitted to be present at criminal trials as superintendents of the Jury, according to the Constitution of the Island, and, secondly, that the Duke of Athol, the Governor; reprimanded a Judge for having tried one of his Grace's servants for perjury, dis missed that Judge afterwards without a public discharged at once a man under senteuce for having knocked dot% La a wit ne s s , and assault ed the Judge before whom he was on his trial fer riot, and punished two men as guilty of a fla gitious crime, in having inoculated for the small pox. Mr. Peel replied to the first part of the Petition, that the question was now be fore the Privy Council. The charges against tf- i Duke of Athol %lore substantially ad mitted. The Isle of Man, though well known to the Romans, and the consecrated retreat of the Druids in times of Roman persecution, is egregiously unknown to the people of Eng land at present. The terms of Keys, S, Deem essiou ster, Tinwald, Fir. sounded early this as foreign as a description of the political institu tions of Tombuctoo. This r epetition of toe sub ject by Mr. Brougham brings us nearer to an ac quaintance with the C e lti c c h ara cter of the chief island in the Irish Channel. No part of I relands appears to suffer more from party violence and ar bitrary misrule. The Duke of Athol (a High land Chief) seems to enjoy the pride and power of exclusive jurisdiction here, in all the purity and glory of the fifteenth century. If all the chicfs of clans in the IliAlands had retained their high powers undiminished, Mr. Peel would have his hands sufficiently full of appeals and c e mplaints. In th e early part of the Sesssion, it wa s stated that the Attorney -General must b e a perpe t ua l absentee, for f ear of catchingthe rageof party feeling. It seep s a pity that the Go also r equired to be rernectually vernor not absent. He is proprietor of all the lands. Tie was once Sovereig❑ ; but the sovereignty he sold, in 1765, for 70,0001.,and afterwards an annui ty, in 1805, of 4,000/. We think Mr.. Peel is to be pitied for his toil in adjusting the affairs of this barbarous island. lie admits that it his ,;iven him more trouble than all England. The Right Hon. Gentleman hinted pretty plainly that the removal of the Duke of Athol is essential to the civilization of the Mullis. [NEW TIMES.] A letter from the Caraccas has brought the question of the relative value of free labour and slave labour to the test of experience, by refer ing to the practice of the newly established Re public of Colombia. In that country slavery is still tolerated ; but the enfranchisement of slaves has been carried so far in practice, that three fourths of the labouring- class are now free. It is stated, as matter of indisputable fact, that the free labourers do more work in a day than slaves. Indeed it would seem extraordinary that in an enlightened age of the world, in an age when the principles of political economy form a very general subject of study, any person could be found to contest so obvious a truth. What are the wages of labour? They must be ade quate to the support of the labourer, be he a slave or a freeman ; and, generally speaking, they will go but little further. The slave there fore must have his wages, though in another shape. Ile must be supported ; and, the question is, whether he will work as well when he has no object beyond a mere support, and when that object it secured to him without any extraordi nary exertion; as he would, if he knew that his support depended on the exertion he might make, and that there was a possible chance of further benefits to himself from the fruits of his industry. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We have received the Singapore Chronicle, published once a fortnight, from its commence ment on the Ist of January last, to the fifth Number inclusive, and have extracted from them a few articles, containing the information to which Sir Charles Forbes alluded on Thursday night in the House of Commons, respecting the attempts of the Dutch on Borneo. This Journal promises to be a repository of most valuable information respecting that interesting part of the East, the Indian dirchipelago. ( From the Singapore Chronicle) The state of trade at Pontiana was dull, but the arrival of the annual junks, five or six in number, it was expected, would make it more brisk. The import duties on Dutch and native vessels in all the ports of Borneo, is six per cent., or if they have been imported from a Dutch port, two per cent., on all European flags except Dutch the imports are twelve per cent. The ex ports on Dutch and native vessels are six per cent., if clearing for a Dutch port, and on fo reign European vessels 12 per cent. The duty on English cottons and woollens is as elsewhere, 24 per cent., on the invoice price at 30 per cent. advance—an exception is made in favour of these, if imported direct from England, which is of course inoperative as respects the present commercial state of the ports of Borneo. Borneo.—.By accounts; received, from Borneo we learn, that the Dutch expedition, which sailed last September into the Interior of that island, up the river of Pontiana, to a distance of more than 300 miles, had returned in the end of November. The object of this expedition was to reduce to subjection the hitherto independent Native States of Sangao, Sintang, and Silat. In this they were completely successful, the natives having yielded without offering the least resist ance. The Netherland Government, by this measure, become undisputed masters of all Borneo, from the eastern confines of the Stat e o f Banjer massin to the northern boundary of that of Sambas. This includes all the gold and diamond mines of the island, and not only the Malays, but also the Chinese, and Dayaks or aboriginal popu lation of the country within the limits above de scribed. The ports, which are now open to European commerce are, Banjermassin, Pontiani, Mompawa, and Sambas only. Celebes, and the Eastward.—About one bun- Bred Bugis prahus have come here this season, from various parts of the Eastern Seas, being a greater number than has ever visited the port before, notwithstanding the civil war prevailing in the interior of Celebes, which detained a con siderable number of them. The size of these boats is from fifteen to one hundred tons, but commonly from forty to fifty. Their crews average from twenty to eighty men, and at one period we had not fewer of these strangers among us than from two to three thousand. They have imported about 50,000 dollars worth of tortoise.. shell, and the usual articles to a considerable amount. The greater number of them have now left us. The articles of exportation, in which they have chiefly dealt this year, are fire arms and ammunition, white British cottons, born. hazing, light broad cloths, opium, iron, and steel. In the Governmeut Gazette on the Ist No vember, spices are permitted to be exported for Holland, under certain conditions, by private individuals. This may be considered as a first step towards the introduction of a free trade in these articles, which have been for so many cen turies subject to a rigid monopoly. It appears that it was currently reported on the Exchange at Paris, that a movement like that at Lisbon, and in which the Infant, Don Carlos, brother of the King, played the same part that Do►► Miguel played, had broken out at Madrid, and that this news had caused the Rentes to fall. The Eioile denied the news, announcing that the attempt of General Capape was abortive, that he could only assemble some forty men, and that he was taken to Aladrid to be tried.—(lbid.)

( Baltimore J.:Tornin4 Chronicle.) SPANISII AMERICA. JUAN JOSE AIARTINEZ, Dean of the Holy Cathedral Church, Provisional Vicar-general, and Governor of the Bishoprick, the See being vacant, to the Clergy of Panama. To our venerable brothers, the Parish clergy of this Diocess, health and peace in Jesus Christ. We have to make known, that by news (without, however, being confirmed) which ha ve arr i ve d at t hi s cap i ta l, we h ave learned the depraved and hostile intention with which the King of Spain intends to subjugate the Americas, depriving them of the liberty which God and nature have given to these tertitories. Not being able, as it is said, to undertake a great work himself, he has, we are told, implored the assistance of France, that her troops and squadrons may come to invade us, and to de prive us of our tranquillity. We are told that a numerous french t army ere isre be e preparing, and that the whole of America should placed in a state of defence. This precious part of the world, envied by foreign nations, may very pro bably be attacked ; but there is no reason to fear, if the Lord our God is for us, as we have already experienced on many occasions in which his providence has favoured us. —The active and warlike Intendant-General who commands us, has foreseen all the evils that can happen, and has taken the most efficacious means to prevent them. Among these, the most religious and most efficacious is, the care which he has taken to send to the Bishoprick Priests, who may announce to the people the danger in which we are, if we are conquered by the enemy ; and that there would not only be the incalculable evil of the loss of their property and lives, but that more deplorable calamity, the overthrow of the holy religion of Jesus Christ, which with such firmness and constancy our people maintain. if our towns were possessed by corrupt troops, contaminated by materialism and heresy, they could not avoid being exposed to the deprivation of eternal felicity. For so sacred a mission the General has elected . the venerable Presbyters Diego and Simon de Paz, and Father Fernando Ayuso, who electi on we h ave approve d of with the most tender sentiments of our heart, on account of the esteem and respect which the virtue s and qualities of each of them in spire. They are proceedin g on a mission to your parishes, to sow in the hearts of your faithful flocks the truths of religion, love to their country, and the obligation of defending that in which we are all educated. They will manifest to the people the interest which they ought to take in so great an enterprise, and they will show that to die in war is better than to be wit nesses of the evils which will be inflicted on our brethren and on the Saints; as it was said by Judas Maccabmus—" Mellizts cst nos Duni lit belle, yearn videre male geniis nostrce ct Sane toram." To these venerable Priests I recommend you, with all my heart ; and I beseech you, and if necessary command you, that when they arrive at your parishes, you convoke your flocks, open your churches and your cathedrals, co-operating with them in the great work to which they have been destined, whilst we pray God to impart to them his light, and grant the happy fruit which we desire, in the preservation of his holy religion.

Just before ascending, the barometer stood a 29 inches 8-10ths, thermometer 66 degrees, the hygrometer 17 dry ; time of starting precisely five minutes past six o'clock.— The balloon rose most majestically, and we were directly above Waterloo Bridge at eight minutes and a half past six. At this moment the barometer was at 27 inches 4-lOths, and we could observe every street of the metropolis from Blackwall to Ken sington. The scene of the environs was beautiful beyond de scription, and every thing could be seen distinctly ; every object appearing as flat as on a map, even tile hills seemed to be sunk on the same level with the valleys. At 16 minutes past six the barometer was at '23 inches 3-lOths, and when the thermometer was at 39 deg., hygrometer 20 dry, we past through the clouds, and getting into another current of air, the balloon revolved gently, which caused a slight feeling of sickness ; the clouds while we were passing through appeared like a mist, and the hygrometer still shewed 3 degrees dryer than when on the earth. We experienced now a disagreeable noise in the ear, what is commonly called a " singing," which continued the whole time after, and did not leave m e till th e next morn ing.—O n ascend ing above the clouds, they appeared like a sea of frozen snow, with dark fissures between, and in some places the clouds opened, and gave us a distinct view of the city, and metropolis and its environs. The sky above was beautifully blue, and the sun shone brilliantly, tinging with a silvery hue the tops of the wide expanse of clouds, and particularly those that rose like mountains above the others. There were still a few white clouds at a great distance above us. The car again revolved in a current of air. Barometer at 21 in 5-10ths. The highest point we attained was by the barometer, 19 in 2-10ths ; the hygrometer 32 dry ; th ermometer 32 d egrees ; ti me 20 m i nu t es to 7. We now heard a report of a gun, which we had heard one or twice b e fo re . W e now let off a p i geon f rom a b as k et, having first fast ene d a l abel to it, makin two or three circles, gon which we wrote " above the cloud s ." Th e pigeon, after darted thro ug h th e clouds towards the earth. Whenever we caught glimp ses of the country through t h e c l ou d s, the view was beautiful and interesting, but the sight of the sil very sea of clouds to the very verge of the horizon was truly • magnificent; the s un shone on some parts of the Thames, which were visible to us and was ref l ecte d b eaut if u ll y ; the river itself seemed dwindled to a small stream, so much so, that •we could not distinguish any objects on it. The barometer now stood at 19 inches 5-10ths ; t h ermo meter 31 degre es ; t i me 18 minutes to 7. Th e balloon had not hitherto appear e d t o make much pro gress except in elevation, but now it wafted rapidly to the south, and a small portion of gas being l e t out, we gradually commenced our descent. On repassing the clouds the barometer was 22 inclicS 3-10ths ; thermometer 30 degrees ; hygrometer 23 dry; timel minutes to 7. The sensation in the ears still continued. We now descended rapidly, which gave a disagreeable impression of space - without any obj ec t t o ndnningttou m iar e g e o t u o rest the eye on.

ON SOUTHEY'S BOOK OF THE CHURCH. ( Continued from THE SUN of May 24.) As it is the plain , and express declaration of our blessed Loan himself that his House shall be called a House of Prayer, it is strange that there should be any diversity of opinion in men that profess to be Members of his House, who still will make it, as the Pharisees did in his time, a Den of Thieves. Upon this last expres sion there have been various comments. It is quoted from Jeremiah, who evidently alludes to the dens and caves into which robbers used to hide themselves and their spoils, not daring to dwell in the more open places, where neither they nor their plunder could he secure. These he compares to the licentious people of his day. 46 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, 'We are delivered to do all these abo minations. Is this house become a dea of rob bers in your eyes ? Or think you to retreat thither, as robbers retreat to their dens as places of security, as if you could be safe in such a sanc tuary, and, if not concealed, yet protected in the i midst of all your licentiousness by this asylum' , for sinners." The same language is addressed to the Jews of our Saviour's time, more especially to the Pha risees, whose name in Syriac, which was then the common dialect, it is remarkable, coincides but by one letter with the name for thieves, which in the original means rather those who were ac. customed to live upon unlawful gains, such as the money-changers, who, from that time to this, have never been highly rated in society ; or it may allude to those among the priests, who made a profit of the temple by their arts with the people, and who performed their various offices more from ostentation than any sense of religion ; more to court popularity, and make a traffic of their religious profession, so as to convert the temple into a place of merchandize, and make the tabernacle itself a feast. There are the same characters, it is to be feared, even among Christians, who to this day allure the people, who know no better, into their ta bernacles to turn a penny by their credulity, and pick their pockets, as they stand with their ears, and even mouths, open to swallow all that they can tell them—no matter what, so long as it ap pears to be the extemporaneous effusion of im mediate inspiration. Among the many arts by which the house of prayer is converted into a den of thieves, the most prominent is the delusion, which they never fail to spread wherever they go, that there can be but little or no occasion for prayer at all, or at least that this house is built for other pur poses, to which prayer is only subordinate, and of comparatively but little importance. Hence not only enthusiasts out of the Church, but many who are within its pale, and men too whose sense abounds on other topics, are for ever en larging with the most fervent raptures upon the pre-eminence of preaching as a religious office, as if the whole intent of this sacred house were chiefly to be a theatre for sermons and homilies, and nothing more required of the Minister than to preach, nor of the congregation than to hear. So far, indeed, have some of these enthusiasts carried this partiality to preaching, as not to think it worth their while to attend upon the House of God, unless the service is followed by a sermon, and if they get only in time for that, they care not how long they stay away, but would not, for the world, lose, one syllable of the harangue, or one drop of the extemporaneous effusion, which is sweeter than honey, or the honey-comb, to their infatuated taste. If the preacher at any time should not hold forth as long as usual, they think themselves stinted of their spiritual portion, and are sometimes, in the height of their grief and vexation, inclined to apprehend that their minister is waxing cold in his zeal for their interests in another - world, and that he is by far too deeply intent upon this. I have heard, that under this apprehension there has been a standing order in some of their meet ings, that the spirit must move the preacher at least ono hour at a time, or the preacher must be moved from his place. If there is no such positive order in writing, it is generally under stood that any who fall short of this, degrade themselves to the level of the establishment, who are apt to think with their fathers of old, that " brevity is the soul of wit," and with the wisest and purest of Christians at all times, that we can hardly pray too much till all we want is given us, nor speak too little, if it is only well spoken ; for one word in due season—how sweet is it—and one word is enough for the wise. This extravagant taste for popular preaching was founded originally upon a fault so common to humanity, of wandering into one extreme in order to avoid another. This part of the service had been totally overlooked in the dark ages of Popery, and since our emancipation from this spiritual bondage, "great has been the com pany of preachers" and pulpit-praters—as if to make amends by their loquacity for the long silence of the Church. Dow many have arisen, both in and out of that Church as it is established in this kingdom, who, in order to escape from the office of the mass—their horror and abomination—looking down upon prayer, attach as much importance, as the author of the Book of the Church says, to sermons and extem pore harangues, as the Rornanists did to what they esteemed the sacrifice of the altar. Even under the illustrious reign of our Elizabeth, that nursling of the Reformation, the pulpit was but too frequently made the hand-organ of State policy, set to whatever tunes might best accord with the present purposes, and its enemies, pro. fiting by the fatal example, resorted as occasion arose to the same influential means of spreading their political as well as religious tenets. Hence Lecturers were established wherever they could be out of the funds confiscated from the Itomish Treasury, and schools also, where their doctrines were instilled into the minds of the young, who were thus prepared under their auspices for the University—that there might never he want ing At and godly men to preach throughout the land their wild theories about Church and State, which were so destructive to the establishment of both. For we know how this fanatical faction went forth in defiance of all consequences, to the cone summation of what they so devoutly wished, the triumph of their own creed, political and re ligious, particularly the latter,—the pattern on the mount, the covenant by distinction which they called the dominion of grace, —upon the ruins, will not say of Christianity alone, but of common sense, morality, and religion, in its genuine ac ceptation. So far, indeed, have some of these fanatics car ried their predilection for preaching, as to contend that the word itself is not able to save the soul unless it sound from the voice of the preacher, who himself must be inspired to awaken the sin ner from his deep lethargy. There seems by their account another word deposited only with themselves, without which, though a man may study the scriptures day and night, he cannot be converted. So far have men wandered in order to avoid one absurdity into the grossest of all absurdities, and because the Romanists erred so long in neglecting to expound, or even to open the Bible at all to the people, have at last flattered themselves that the only "power unto salvation" is not merely the word which is described se 46 quick and powerful," but the spirit of the preacher, without whom that word is only " dead letter," as if it were his spirit, and hi.: spirit alone, that giveth life,—and preaching, especially Evangelical, were all in all. ( To be continued. ) Mr. SINCLAIR made his first appearanco at Dublin on Tuesday last, in the character of Or lando, in the Opera of The Cabinet, and was ex.- trernely well received. EALING SCHOOL.—On Thursday last tho pa rents and friends of the pupils at this respectable establishment assembled to witness the annual en tertainments given by Dr. NICHOLAS. The amusements in the morning consisted of recita tions. Sir W. Scott's celebrated Flodden Field was delivered by Mr. French in a manner which did him great credit. Campbell's Massacre at Prague followed, by Mr. Blew, who evinced con siderable force and feeling. In the evening the Adelphi of Terence was performed with much approbation ; Mr. Blew, as Deluca, Mr. Lynn, in the part of Mitio, Mr. flosch as Ctesipho, and Mr. Hollings as ,S:yras, were seve rally very successful. 2Esehinus, in the hands of Mr. French, although a comparatively insig nificant character, was made of much importance by the superior style of his performance. The other parts, of Samio, by Mr. King, Geta, by Mr. Harrison, and Ilegio, by Mr. Palmer, were also well represented. An amusing Epilogue followed the entertainments of the day, and the company separated highly pleased with the exer tion.; of the several pupils and by the hospitality of Dr. Nicholas.
