" 37 " 7 - 7:: 1.0 NDON JOUR N A I,S. 4, • DAILY' Extracts from :the; Mornit4 Papers, Dec. 4. [MO NI NG mitAr,o.] There was considerable business in the British Funds yesterday, occasioned, principally, through its being the last day for matting public trans fers in Consols previous to their opening for the dividend. The prices of Consuls have rather improved, and the market has, upon the whole, looked brisk. At one time there were strong buyers of Consols for the Account at 954, and their last price was 9511 ; and the price at which they closed for money was 954. In the Foreign Market very little business` has been done, and the prices have remained very firm. French Scrip, Austrian Bonds, and Russia Bonds, were all a shade higher, in consequence of the im provement in the value of Consols. The fluc tuations in the South American Securities have not been worthy of notice, and in- the Mine Shares but little business was done yesterday, although they all maintained their prices. [MORNING CIIIIONICE.i.] We have some. grounds for thinking that there is, at :the present moment, a masterpiece of in. . trigue getting up- by the French .GovertimenU— It.is now ascertained that the two Infantas of Spain, lion Carlos and Don Francisco de Paula, are preparing - to 'go on their travels, the one to Naples, and the other to Portugal,. under the pretexts of visiting the respective Infantas, their relative, and, on the subject of their journey, a very active correspondence is said to be carrying on between the Cabinet of Aladrid and the 'Continental Monarchs. Although the greatest secrecy is observed in the whole of, the affair,' it is very currently reported in the high political circles in 'Parisi that the real object of this unusual.and projected excursion is, to place the above two personages at the disposal of the French Government, who have revived their old , plans; and are concerting the means of placing a Bourbon on the throne of Mexico, and another in one of the most central divisions of South America. In this base design of imposing on the inhabitants of the Colombian Continent a form of government, re specting which they have nut even been consulterl, it is confidently stated that several natives of some note and distinction,have joined, possibly flattered by the ex pecfation of receiving rib bons and tit I es,as• a reward . for their support, and although it may, tippear strange, it is added ,that the chief part of the correspondence and agency intended to fur r ther this insidious scheme, has been conducted by certain foreigners, who, the better to disguise . their operations, have been going from and corning to British ports. It is thought that our Govern ment have their eyes upon the whole of these, deep-laid plots. [MORNING. POST.] French Papers to the ed inst. and the Maile of Thursday, reached us last night by Express. Their contents are of little in►portance. Charles .Ir,...,seemtvauterOlined to become one of the most popular Monarchs Which the House , of Bourbon has produced. If he tie not possess the warlike. abilities.and testes of his ancestor Henri IV., like him he knOwS the art of gaining the atiec. tions of his subjects, or rather be gains them. without art, by the mere exhibition of the interest Which lie takeS in their welfare, and the kind familiarity and perfect security -and confidence with which he: moves in the midst of them. In the early part of the present w.q.k, he visited several public esl4. blishments antl edif►ces, formed and con. structed in the Faubourg St, Antoine, once the .seat of revolutionary fury, and after having ex, pressed his approbation of the work► terminated, and those in progress, walked without one single . guard, but accompanied by his son and an itn nlense crowd of people, to the new canal of St. Martin. There he examined the locks, the • bridge, recently erected ,at the Core, the subter • raneous gallerieS, received 'Petitions from the hands of the Poor. and the Blind, and after passing nearly •an hour amidst the multitude, Like a father amongst his childreen, returned conversing with the Architects and Engl. (steers,• like .a colleague rather than as a Sovereign. Amongst the observations which he " made on the benefits produced by the enterprise of Joint Stock Companies, he is said to have pointed out the advantages which England had derived from them, and to have ‘‘ named several English individuals personally known to him, and whom he remembered with sentiments of af fection, who had realized fortunes of 80,00 W. sterling a year out of the profits of those great undertakings which were always advantageous to . states." His Majesty, after examining all the improvements elrected iu that quarter, is 'repre sented to have intimated an intention of attempt log still greater things, such as " rendering Paris a sea-port, in order to raise its population and its commercial wealth to the ' highest degree of prosperity." [Burr Sll ritEss.] The state of Ireland becomes daily mare in tensely interesting. The exasperation •of party .on each side increases, and we begin to fear that affairs are fast approaching a crisis. If it be pos_ bible, by temperance - on the part of Government, to avoid extremities, we may rely upon the wis. OM and firmness of Lord Wellesley's adminis tration ; but looking at tl►e religious feelings that have been already irritated, and the hopes that are excited, we confess we augur ill for the tranquillity of the Island. We observe that 0 6 attacks made upon the Irish Protestants are reiterated and virulent. Come what tmty, the Protest►tnt interest in Ireland must be sup. ported. It is the bond of connection between the countries ; and therefore not for a moment can we, on any consideration Whatever, (=seta to expose the Protestants of Ireland' to any den. ger or injury from which w e e arl d e f en d them.- It is the curse of Ireland that she is torn with hostile factions now, as she► uas lately with pro vincial disturbances : the former must, for her welfare, be suppressed, as the latter have been, by the strong arm of the law, in order that the King's:GoveromenLinay safely and uninterrupt edly pursue those measures of ,public benefit which ure for the present necessarily suspended. [TILE TIMES.] A certain portion of the press has long in dulged its own malignant dispositions, and the corrupt taste of readers who felt with or followed it, by showering torrents of personal abuse upon the late Lord Mayor of London. The ho nourable feelings of better men, and especially of him who was the object of such undeserved indignities may now receive a generous grati fication from the manner in which he was yes terday indemnified for all that he had done as well as suffered. The Board of "Aldermen had already thanked Mr. Waithman for his Magis terial services by an unanimous vote. The Common Council yesterday imitated the example of the Aldermen ; and not merely does the cor dial and animated language in which they have recorded the merits of an honest, able, and con sistent fellow citizen, present a strong claim to public attention, but also the unanimous concur rence of an assembly which contained no small number of Alderman Waithman's political oppo. netts ; and above alt, the individual testimony of the most zealous and active•of those opponents, to the service on which they were called to de.. cide. Mr. Sheriff Browne, Mr. James, and—not the least worth remarking—Mr. Samuel Dixon, came forward with their candid and honoura ble declarations in favour of the late Lord Mayor. One passage of the resolutions, put it on re cord, that his discharge of the high and arduous duties of the office had 4 C fiever been surpassed ;" and the whole concluded with a panegyric on the resolute consistency and manliness of Mr. Wait'- man's conduct for a " third .part of a century." it is good that such incitements should be held out to the active members of a free community. It is just to administer such rebukes to the base ness which has busied itself in slandering and persecuting' a man whose sole crime is the hold indepeodence of his character. The worthy Alderman may now retire with the consciousness, us the Lord Chief Baron told him, of having left behind him an example which his children may be proud to follow. man ; but these qualities, that ‘voujd grate Awn ,) ordinate id post, might, if not anted virtues 'of more vigorous cast, endanger the 'very, existence" of the vast interests that are nor.entrusted to his, care. [NEW TIMES.] It will have been remarked in our Paper of yesterday that another fire has occurred at Which a proper supply of water was not procured till long after the arrival of the engines. It is common 'to throw all the blame of this deficiency on the Water Companies, .and people seem quite, satisfied when they• have fixed on some dual or body amen, upon whom they can, dis, charge all the vehe►nence of their indigna... tion. • •But we should recollect that our duty to the public, tines not consist in giving utH terance to Censures, however just, but in pro rooting remedies 'that may be effectual. The Water CoMpanies are like all other trading Com.. panies—they look to their own profit, and they look no further; but if their customers have a right to expect from (111 , 111 greater accornmoda, tion than is at present, it is for their customers to look to the excess of that right. Those cos touters are -the public. Let the public., there fore, take up the matter seriously. Let them look at it in all its bearings. The evil arises from went of system, not only on the part of the' Water CompaOies; but of all the parties whose services are necessary in case of conflagra tion. No two parishes in London have the same regulations respecting' fires. "There is no common, understanding between tht Water Companies and the Insurance Offices, nor be tween the Insdrance Offices and the parochial or municipal authorities. If an Anti-Conflagration Society were formed, like the Anti-Mendicity Society, the benefits would be of a isimilar kind. All the details of the subject would be under the consideration - Of an intelligent Committee, and the same gentleman who planned the necessary, arrangements for preventing mischief by fire, would s,uperiliteed their application in practice. ITIIE PUBLIC LEDGER.I The !Ong and frequent Cabinet Meetings that have been held this week, have reference, it is said, to the war in India ; and there is even some talk of augmenting' the British force in that coml. ty. These may be only vague rurnoffs, though it cannot be denied that the state of our In-; dianaffairs gives to them an air of great probabi lity. However, before any new expence be incur- the Public have a right to know whether it be want of means, or of skill in•their manage ment, that has paralyzed our efforts in the pre• sent contest. If the in t ter be the cause, all the sacrifices that the country could , make'would not retrieve the honour of our a r ms. To send out reinforcements , would be, in this ease, kwanton and useless expenditure. In the mean time, the evil, whatever it is, should he probed to the bottom, and without any loss of time ; for, it is not in India alone that we should feel the* :effects of the hingou r which Marks our ef forts in this contest. If our arms were to sustain any marked reverse in that 'quarter, the effects of it would be felt. through"the whole extent df our political relatiane. Tho , country 'could no longer exercise that influence on the affairs of the world which she wields at this time ; and , what ever may be - the intrinsic value of our empire in India, we must maintain it unimpaired, if we wish to keep up our present rank amongst the na titans of the world. We are not surprised, therefore,, at the alarm which the Public have taken at the feeble manner in which this war has been conducted '; and if the incapacity of Lord Amherst be the cruse, as is generally suspected, it wood be a l`ihrel on Ministers to suppose that they hhve any doubts bow they should act in this emergency. Ilia appointment to so arauotts a post elicited at Onetime general astonishment; and ,his removal from it, we firmly believe, would give universal satisfaction. 1.. 0 o f Ole greatest I‘, talents have, been, almost unifoftnly, selected to eaminister the : affair& of l minis , which ac counts for the mighty empire that we have erected there ; end, to and ulti mately destroy it, all that is wanting is to substi tute, in the superintendence of its int eres ts, me diocrity for genius.

William Jones and George Weaver were, indicted for bur , glaribusly breaking and 'entering the dwelling-house of John Haines, at Ilertingfonlbury, in the night time of the 9th June last, and stealing therein cash, bank-notes, and money securi ties to the amount of 1,8681. 13a. l lti., the property of the Right Hon - . Peter Leopold Louis Francis Nassau ,Clavering Cowper Earl Cowper. It will be recollected that at. the last Suminer Assizes for' this county, three melt named Davis, Harris, and Green, were convicted as parties to the robbery abov4-nientioned. Since then, it had .been discovered, through the active exertions of Mr. 'l'. Nicholion the Under Sheriff, that Green and Harris were not actually concerned in the robbery, and in con sequence of some doubt entertained us 'to the case of Davis, the awful sentence of the law as to him was respited until the 3d of January next. The present prisoners were now put upon their trial charged with being two of the gang of 8 persons co cerned in the desperate robbery. in question. The case excited considerable interest, and during the trial the Court was crowd ed to. excess. . _ _ Mr. BoLtawm (with whom was Mr. DowLING) stated the case for the prosecution. The. circumstances under which the robberywas efibcted were fully detailed on- the last trial, and the principal interest in the case arose from the evidence ad duced to implicate the men charged by the present indictment. Benjamin Jacobs, an accomplice, was called.' He stated that he was a baker by .trade, and, had resided at Hampton Wick.— ; For some time previous to the robbery he had been in the habit of freqUenting a public-house,, known by the sign of the Horse shoe and Wheatsheaf, in Melior-street, Bermondsey, where he met Davis (now under sentence • of death), and the prisoners Jones and Weaver. • On the 9th of ,June he met the prisoners Weaver and Jones, and live other persons at"thishouse, when it was agreed that they should commit the robbery in ques tion... Two of the men set out early in the afternoon to walk, leaving the rest to fellow it in two carts. About two or three. hours after those two were gone, Jones, WeaVer, and wit ness set out in his (witness's) cart, and took theroad by South gate, and on arriving•at the sixteen mile-stone, they found the other five men waiting for them with another cart.— Four then got into each cart, and prOceeding on to a lane' near li Mr. aines's house, they stopped', and fastening the horses" to two trees, they went on to Colegreeti. After surveying the , house ,in every direction,: a ladder was procured and placed. againit a first floor Window; The prisoner Jones went rip first, and broke a hole in -thawindow. and opened it- He then. eyrie down, andtold, the rest to take off their shoes. A candle, was then lighted in a darklintern by-Means of a phos phorous-box. Jones then ascended, got in at the window, and was followed by -witness, Weaver, anti tour others, leaving the eighth.man to watch below., He then detailed theeirciinistances o l ie te ir in re g turn disturbed, tiley ia as d a alreadydese_ under which the robbery was committed, as described by Air. and mentioned,A 1 rs. l t a li i e l y es retreated, ' idtil ei a r n s trin rateseuffle with three farn Ling en. The prisoner Atreaver lost his hat, and a pistol was als'o left behind. They then returned to the carts, four getting into each, and drove off as fast as they could for London, but by a ditibrent route from that they had come. ,In their way they had t 6 pass a turnpike, which was locked. They aroused the toll-collector, who demanded, eight pence toll for the two cart. Tint men in the first cart gave. him a shilling, and both parts, pushed on •withoiit forthe change. , When they, reached London, theyThseparated - but all met again, with the exception of one' of the party at the' Horse Shoe and Whitsheal . in Bermondsey, for the purpose of dividing the plunder. They went into a roonimp stairs, where a man named Dudficld came to them for the purpose of pur chasing the hank -notes. ' The whole amount of the' cash and bank-notes 'was about' 1,006/. Dudfield, after a good deal of bargaining, agreed to, give 7504 , for the notes.. Wittiest went along with Midfield to his house - for the money. lie received hut - 31.i0/. then, Midfield promising to bring the remainder in about an hour and a half to the ptiblic-house, but he never came, and witness ; believed that,the remainder of the money was not paid. • Mr. .lEsor, COnduCted the defence, cross-examined this witness at considerable: length, to sh i ne the infamy ofhis character. 119 bad beet' im two or three gaols, and had once suffered six months' fuipigeninent for felony. Ile expected to save his own nCek by tiie evidence he gave against the prisoners. The Learned Counsel,. homier, could not shake' the consist ency of his story. This witness said he knew Green and Har-; ris, who wire convicted at' the last Assizes; but he poOtively, said they were not concerned in the robbery. . To confirm sorme,parts of the accomplice's evidence, the fol lowing witnesses were palled • Jane Watson, ' whose husband. kept the .Horse-Shoe - and Wheat-Sheaf (but who is since dead), proved that the two pri-- soners, Jambs, Davis, and four other men, met . at her husband's house in the afternoon of the llth cif June, and drank together, They had all quitted the . house about seven in the evening. These men had, been in the habit of frequenting the house be fore. When she wit up next. morning, about eight o'clock, she round that seven Of their' were in, an up stairs room 'of the house. She saw a strange' 'man leave the room in which they were, and come down stairs.. This man she had news seen before. She had seen him since in liersemonger-lane-gaid, and believed his name to be Dudfield, us she had been subse quently informed.. The amen' had afterwards beef-steaks , or mutton-chops for breakfast. Her husband had bad, an iron crow-bar in his skittle-ground ever since they had come to.the house—namely, for about six months. She had seen thicrow har in the skittle-ground on the fish, but missed it on the 10th of June, and had never seen it since. Looking at the crow-bar which bad been picked up on Mr. Haines's premises on the morning of the 10th, she verily belieVed it to be that which had belonged to her husband. It was exactly similar in 'every respect. William Budd, a toll-gate 'keeper,' proVed that about two o'clock on the morning of the 10th June, he *as roused to open time gate for two carts, which appeared to come . from the direc tion of Hertingfordbury. He unlocked the gate, and the man. in the first cart asked what was the toll. , lie answered 8d for the two carts. He received a shilling,. and both carts imme diately drove on at a rapid rate, in a direction towards London, without waiting for the change. There were but 4 men in the two carts that he observed._ (The accomplice hnd said that two or ihreemen had got down when they came.to the gate, and walked through the wicket.— Another was at the bottom of one of the carts. This was the case for the'prosecution.) The prisoners being called upon for their defence, merely said that they would leave Om case in the hands of their Counsel. ' No witnesses were called on their-behalf. • • Mr. Baron Gannbw then suiumed 'up* the case.to the Jury la Ole most elaborate and able manner. • The Jury deliberated - a few Minutes, and fotind heti! 'pri. 'sours " Guilty." • • Mr. Baron tLtjtaow. immediately passed sentence of death in a most impressive manner, and conjured the prisoners to make the most of the short time left them on this side the grave to meet their Creator. The law must take its course in a case attended with so many:circumstances of aggravation. The wretched culprits appeared wholly unmoved in this so. lemn stage of the proceedings. It is 'understood 'that Jones had expreised a wish in - gaol to plead guilty.--The Assizes ended at four o'clock. EXECUTION AT YORK.-011 esilay last .i M a o n i i r a is ry C l : s afi t, eld and Michael While were exe cuted behind York Castle. They were convicted at the last York Assizes of a burglary, committed in the Newton toll-bar house, near Wakefield,in attended with the most cruel ag. grovations, the burglars having beat and other wise ill-used the poor inmates of the house.— Afterthe prisoners had , been convicted, their Counsel took an objection to the framing of the indictment, and contended that the property stolen, being the receipts of the toll-bar, was not the property of the prosecutor, who was the keeper of the bar, but of the lessee of the tolls : in consequence of which, Mr. Baron Ilullock, who tried the case, respited the, culprits until the 30th of November, in order that the question might have the consideration of the Judges, who determined that the indictment was correctly drawn. About q fortnight ago an order was received by the Under-Sheriff to put the seuteuee of the law into execution ; and the prisoners being informed of the fact, they imme diately, although they fully anticipated a re prieve,. began to prepare for their latter end. Both of them were Irishmen, and of the 4ornan they were at- C t w e a i r i t t o d h e o p d l a i :b d y r t e i t l i t e r i e g m i 1 ( 1, 1 0 1 spiritual welfare.

ST. BOTOLPIt, AL*GATE. Yesterday the General Tithe Committee was held, when a report to be made to the Vestry; on their arduous proceedings,. vias read and agreed to. The report states, amongst other things, that the impropria tion was granted by King James 1. toindividuals for the suns of 4001. .It afterwards passed into the bands of the Rev. Thos. Kynaston, the ancestor of the present impropriator, for the sum of 11,410 1. (a pretty good proof of the industry of the claimants in taxing the inhabitants); that he (sir T.,Kynaston) . after wards offered to sell the same to the parish, together with the right of advowson, for a perpetual annuity of 500 guineas ; that prior to ,the year 1800, the • tithes of both divisions of the parish, in London and Middlesex, continued st,about the an nual sum of 6001. ; that they were afterwards increased to about 1,0001, until the present impropriator tame into posses sion in the year 1804, when they were increased to 1,5001. per annum, and they now amount to between 4,0(101. and 5,000/. per annum, although he bad redeemed the land-tai upon the same at a valuation of 350/. per annum. • That the said impro priator, calculating upon the large sums he was recently receiv ing of the parishioners, hail heavily mortgaged the same, and the Committee felt it their bounden duty to endeavour to stein the torrent whiCh was thus overwhelMing them, by an appEca tion to Parliament. __ It appeared to the Meeting to be clearly • evident that where . arangements already exist between theiblergy and impropriators and their respective parishioners, as to the present amount paid for tithe, it is necessary to prevent future disastrous results and litigation, that the futurdpayinent for tithes shall be put upon a fair•and equitable-Mating through the medium of Parlia ment. St. BotolPh, Altigate, is so circumstanced as to require that some provision should be Made for the officiating minister, inasmuch as the present large amount paid by the parishionersi is entirely swallowed up by the lay impropriator. ST. GREGORY BY ST. PAUL. A Meeting of the Special Committee of this parish, appoint. ed in relation to'tithes was also held, wh en it was unanimous ly' resolved—That the Meeting most cordially concurred in the opinion expressed by, the Special Committee of the Corpora tion- of London, that they conceive the present moment most favourable for an united•application tO be made to Parliament for an alteration or amendment of ,the iitatuteof 37 of Henry VIII under which the claim of 24; ycl: mails: . It appeared that the Meeting ' roc themselveti most par ticularly called upon on behalf of be parish of Saint tire goty, to co-operate with the rest of the parishes affected by the above Statute, in a petition to Parliament,, for an al teration or amendment thereof, not only _for the very power fill reasons contained in the circular of the Special Committee of the Corporation of London, as affecting, the parishes ge nerally, but more particularly as the pariah of St. Gregory, after paying a stipend for the maintenance of their. Rector, had been for many years subject to' the imposition of 2.5. Yd. in the pound to the minor canons of St. Paul's, as , impropriators of the living, which in many cases has been enforced with the utmost rigour ; and in one instance a bill was tiled against an individual of the parish for payment of such rate on a supposed value of his premises assessed by the impropriators themselves, although such individual had already paid is. 9d. in the pound on his actual rental, with the land-tax .added thereto, as settled by the Deputy Remembrancer of the Court of Exchequer. The meeting then passed 'special thanks to the Corporation for convening a meeting of the paiishes affected by the above- m statute. 131:. BOTOLPLI, BISHOPSGATE. A meeting of this parish was held, when it was unaimously agreed to appoint a depUtatitin, consisting of the churchwardens and vestry clerk, and 31r. White and Mr. Cordell, to confer with the City Tithe Committee at Guildhall, on Friday, and afterwards to report to the vestry relative to the proposed appli cation to Parliament for the relief of the several parishes sub ject to the operation of the above statute.
