THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Jane 1. [BRITISH PRESS.] - The Gazelle de Madrid states, that Lopez Banos, Minister at War under the Constitutional system, had committed suicide, by swallowing laudanum, in his exile at Gibraltar. Little re liance can be attached to the prejudiced state. meats of this slavish organ of unmitigated ty ranny. Its trade at present is to slander and de nounce every individual connected with Revolu tion in that wretched country. The Moniteur of Sunday, quoting from its ally, the Etoile, states, that. the boy, Don Miguel, who, with his vile mother, had caused so much alarm and agitation in Lisbon, had unwillingly embarked in a frigate for this country, and that the Queen was con fined in the Convent of Estrella. The Patriarch who supported this wicked woman's plans wasba . lashed to.Busa co, and the Triumvirate having been disposed of, Don John returned to his palace at ,Bemposta,on the 13th, and every thing was then tranquil in Lisbon. The Allgemeine Zeitung, received by us last night, has accounts from Con stantinople to the 25th of April. They state that the Turkish fleet sailed for the Dardanelles on the 23d, and that the Capitan Pacha had been visited, previous to his sailing, by all the Minis ters. The fleet was said to be manned with a levy of 3,000 Janissaries, and was accompanied .some distance by the Sultan, who had given 100 purses, and many valuables, to the Capitan Dacha's encouragement. Notwithstanding all these preparations, the present campaign against the, Christians will more than probably have the same result as the last. The prayers and wishes of all Europe attend the devoted Greeks : their cause is a sacred one, and most popular all through Europe. [MORNING POST.] In the House of Commons last night, Mr. Brownlow presented a Petition, signed by thirty respectable individuals, against the Catholic As sociation, which has already done so much mis chief i❑ Ireland. The Petitioners, after stating their desire to maintain peace and good will among their country►nen, declared that if peace and good will did not now exist, it was owing to the conduct of this Body, which had assumed the powers of a distinct Government, and had gone so far as to levy a tax on the Catholics of Ireland, and to order a census to be taken of the whole population of the Kingdom. The Hon. Gentle man contended, that one of the objects of that Association was to check the liberty of speech,and overawe the freedom of thought, by shewing every Irish Member who should oppose its views to what a host of dangers he must expose himself at his return. He expressed his wonder that it had not yet been visited by the law, and his hope that the subject should be taken into deep consideration by the House. It would appear from Mr. Plunkett's reply, and indeed from the acknowledgments of most Members, that the reason why this mischie vous Association has not yet felt the power of the law is, that whilst it breaks its spirit, it cau tiously keeps within its letter. lie declared that 44 the Association was calculated highly to en danger the public peace, and what he valued as highly—the Catholic cause. He considered that it would endanger more the success of that great object than all its open enemies." Mr. Se cretary Canning said that " it did more mischief to the Catholic cause than to the country even, and as a friend to the cause he sincerely deplored it." And indeed there is no well-wisher to the peace of Ireland who does not consider the pro ceedings of this Association as of the most mischievous and dangerous tendency. The Petition which it has sent to Parliament, and in which he demands what is tantamount to the abolition of Tythes, the disfranchisement of Corporations, and the removal of every Orange man from the Magistracy, besides the small boon of complete and unconditional emancipation, was presented in the Commons by Mr. Brougham acrd in the Lords by Earl Grey. Both, to their credit, declared their strong dissent of the line followed, and the opinions expressed by the Pe titioners, and lamented the change of language which their Petition displayed in comparison with former Catholic ones. That in the Com mons was received and ordered to be printed, but that in the Lords was withdrawn, on account of its having been written on disjointed skins. In the Commons the Game Laws Amendment Bill was lost on the question of taking the Report intok consideration by a majority of 1W to 103. [THE TIMES.] Intelligence, it is said, has reached Govern ment through France, that Miguel, the Prince of Portugal, is on board the Lively frigate, on his voyage to this country. Prince Polignac's visit to Paris has given rise to a variety of conjectures, all assigning motives cri high political importance to the journey ; but w e are assured on good authority, that his pre sence ii) that capital, in addition to the giving his support to the new financial measure, has been solely called for by affairs of a private nature.-- ( r YfoRNING The Catholic Petitions were presented last night, as was expected, in the House of Lords by Earl Grey ; and in the House of Commons, by Mr. Brougham and Mr. Plunkett. The preset,. tation of the Petition against the Catholic Asso. elation, by Mr. Brownlow, •gave rise to an im passioned discussion, which is to be renewed to-night, on his moving that the Petition be re ferred to a Committee. It is really pitiful to see so much importance attached to the various outward appearances of the Irish disease.--- " There is no hope for internal peace in Ireland," said Mr. Brownlow, 44 so long as the Catholic Association performed acts of positive Govern ment, and were authorised to hold their Sessions is the City of Dubli n .. But would the prospect of internal peace be one whit more fair, if the Catholic Association were put down to-morrow The disease would display !tis6ll immediately in some other eruption. The Memoirs of Captain Rock have, we should think, pretty well proved that the disease has raged without intermission, for centuries, though under various names. [NEW TIMES.] The scarcity of money, which we have before noticed, continues to be experienced in the City; and this, added to other circumstances existing within the Stock Exchange, has produced a de cline in the price of almost every description of funded Securities. Yesterday Consols for the Account opened at 95i, and closed at 941. The late heavy payments upon new Foreign Loans, the prompt payable on Friday last at the India House, at a period of the year when a scarcity of money is invariably felt until the payment of the dividends, which in amount exceed other pay ments, have tended to reduce the premium upon Exchequer Bills to between 18s. and 225. From nearly the same causes, a more important and sudden decline took place in Foreign Secu rities, but more particularly in those of South America. Chilean Bonds opened at 76, and closed at 721. Colombian Bonds at 84 declined to 80, and closed at 81. The Scrip of the new Loan, after being at 3f discount, closed at 24 discount. Mexican Bonds from 61 to 581 ; and the Scrip of the late Loan from el premium to one per cent. discount, from which it afterwards recover ed, and closed at par. To account for these ex tensive variations it has been said that many parties have purchased on speculation, under the impression that a public recognition would be made by this country of the independence of these South American States. Yesterday being the settling day in Foreign Securities, several parties found their purchases had been made to too great an extent, and the sales effected in consequence have produced the above alterations. Another difficulty which the holders of these Securities experience is the difficulty of obtaining advances from the Bankers upon this Stock, compared with the facility with which it is obtained upon Bri tish Security. The depression yesterday in the Funds was almost general ; sales in the French Rentes were made at 102 50, and the Scrip 151 premium. The Greek Loan Bto 9 discount Alliance Shares 141 15 premium. [MORNING HERALD.] Earl Grey presented last night the Catholic Petition, on the contents of which his letter to Mr. O'Connell has already been published. He strenuously supported the prayer for what was called Catholic Emancipation ; but pointedly expressed his regret and disapprobation at other parts of the Petition, particularly the- statement respecting the Duke of York, as the head of the opposition to their claims. They also prayed for such a thorough reform of the church as would leave their own clergy only chargeable upon the Roman Catholics, and for the abolition of all corporations in Ireland. The Noble Earl pro posed to have, the Petition read at length ; but while the clerk was reading it, the Lord Chancellor called attention to its being written on detached pieces of parchment, which rendered it inadmis sible. Earl Grey withdrew it.—The Earl of Li verpool brought in a Bill to dispense with the necessity of the Oaths of Supremacy, and other oaths which Roman Catholics could not take, as a qualification for revenue officers.—The Earl of Lauderdale's propositions respecting Joint Stock Companies were adopted with little remark. The Marquis of Lansdown expressed much anxiety that they might not operate against the invest ment of capital in Irish objects. The Earl of Lauderdale contended, that as real and not sham capital could alone be of value to Ireland, it could not be injurious to the interests of that country to require that subscribers of capital should ac tually advance that capital.—ln the House of Commons, Mr. Brownlow's presenting a petition against the Catholic Association in Dublin, excited a discussion of more than ordinary animation and interest. He denounced the Association, and avowed himself an Orangeman. He expressed great surprise that the Attorney-General for Ireland had not prosecuted the Catholic Asso ciation. Mr. Plunkett replied with uncommon energy. He would not say whether the Catholic Associatiou was legal or illegal, but he had no hesitation in saying, that the Orange Associa tion was illegal, and if the Honourable Mem ber would supply him _with the necessary in formation and documents, he would undertake to prosecute that illegal Association. Mr. Canning spoke of the novelty of the Honourable Mem ber's calling for the legal opinion of Ministers on occasion of presenting a Petition. Mr. Peel hoped that his Honourable Friend would not im pute it to insensibility to the importance of the subject, or to disrespect towards him,if he declined to say any thing on this occasion. Col. Trench said the Catholic Association was a Parliament under Protector O'Connel. Mr. Maurice Fitz gerald expressed much indignation at this arraignment of the absent, and eulogized Mr. O'Connell in very high terms, as a ma❑ of heart, and feeling, and enthusiasm, in the Catholic cause, though perhaps deficient in discretion.— Colonel Trench explained, that he had left Co lege enthusiastic for the Catholics, but that he was since converted. He tow regarded the Catholics as instruments in the hands of able and artful agitators. Ile had attended to his tenantry, and challenged competition for them with any tenantry in Ireland. If landlords would per sonally superintend the prosperity of their tenants, the question of Catholic claims would neither merit nor receive attention. • POST CHAISES.-They are of French inven tion, an d , according to GRANGER, they were in troduced into England by Mr. AVM. Tor.r., son of the well known writer upon Husbandry. SEDAN CHAIR S were first introduced in London in 1 n**A when Sir SANDERS DUNCOMB obtained the sole privilege to use, let, and hire a n umber of such covere d chairs, for fourteen years. The first Sedan Chair used in England was by the Duke of BUCKINGHA M , in the reign of JAMES I. JOHNSON thinks their name derived from the town of Sedan, in Champagne, where he supposes they were originally made. FOR THE SUN. CANAL from the RED SEA to the NILE, across the ISTHMUS of SUEZ, to join the WATERS of the ME DITERRANEAN with the INDIAN OCEAN. MR. EDITOR-4 find by THE SUN of the 6th of May, that you have been so kind as to speak favourably of my Book, entitled the" WONDERS OF Erm RA," perhaps the same friendly disposition (although an utter stranger) will prevail on you to find a corner in your valuable Journal fora few re marks on the project of excavating a Canal across the Isthmus of Suez. I believe that an attempt was made, a short time ago, to cut a canal across the Isthmus of Darien; that undertaking was given up as impracticable, as well it might be, from the local obstacles that intervened ; but in the undertaking which I nowjpropose to capitalists and enterprising men, there are few difficulties to con tend with, and none that are not surmountable. In this age of improvement and speculation I certainly think my suggestion promises more advantages to those concerned, and is easier of accomplishment than many of the projects now on foot. This, however, is not a time to enter fully into the merits of the plan proposed, or to state the difficulties, &c.—that would be incurred in the execution of the plan. The trade of India, before the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope by the Portuguese, was carried on by the route of Suez and the Red Sea, and the well informed and enterprising merchants at Calcutta seem to be about reviving the same channel for commercial purposes, as the annexed extract will inform your readers. " A Society has been formed at Calcutta for the establishment of a regular Steam navigation be tween India and England. The lion. J. Haray ton presided at the Meeting convened on the oc casion, and the plan proposed to be adopted was laid before the Meeting by a Lieut. Johnson, the projector.—The outlines of this plan have already appeared in the daily prints, in such a form as to preclude the necessity of our dwelling upon them. We have only to state, therefore, that the measure has been patronized in our Eastern Capital, in a manner fully equal to the encourage ment that is given in the Mother Country to any' speculative scheme of similar or higher character. —The journey across the Isthmus of Suez is of course regarded as a trifle."—The foregoing para- graph is in favour of the plan I propose; for the Steam Vessels proceeding with goods and passen gers, will ensure to those concerned in the Canal not only safety and co-operation, but freight and employment. The " ENGLIsH SUEZ CoM PANY" being secured by a Charter; need fear no interruption or molestation from other adven turers. It is not in the transit of goods from India to Egypt that would alone reward the Proprietors, but the valuable and numerous pro ducts of Egypt and adjoining countries would find by the same channel an easy, safe, and ex peditious mode of transport. I have two surveys of that route, and know something of the country, and have no hesitation in,sayinw'that the plan of a canal is not•only practicable, yo is'hen finished would be productive of certain'!and great profit to those concerned. When we for a moment cast our eyes on the rich countries of Egypt, Arabia, and Persia, whose varied arid rich merchandize would be drawn in the course of a few years to Suez, as a kind of great mart and depot, and these ex tensive countties taking our goods from the same spot, the most central that can be conceived for India, Africa, and the Mediterranean, it is clear that, with the energies of the English and the great resources of the natives, that a company esta blished at Suez, and possessing the canal, would, in the course of a very few years, possess a prodi gious trade, and realize to the projectors and supporters of the plan immense profits. It would greatly benefit the Mother Country, assist the East India Company in their commercial opera tions, in short, it would open a vast field for spe culation, with every prospect of success. The country is flat, and of a light soil ; the distance is nothing. The inhabitants are, with proper measures and treatment, tractable and faithful, and their chiefs easy to be gained over, and their aid and protection secured for trifling sums. When once this is accomplished, their faith is in violable. What innumerable benefits and ad vantages present theinselves in seeing, it pos sible to unite the waters of the Mediter ranean with those of the Indian Ocean," yet it is to be done ; but the English' are the only nation that can do it.—ln this letter I offer no observation on the country or on the routes in my possession, or on the localities or topography. I shall conclude by observing that the point of operation is beyond the limits prescribed to the East India Company's Charter ; and that the " Malta Trade Act" affords great facilities to the object in view. I return to my military duties at Bombay at the end of the year, and have some notion of returning to India by the Nile, Suez, and the Red Sea. As I have a know ledge of surveying, am acquainted with the lan guage, and well accustomed to the natives, I will (provided I can get leave from the Honourable East India Company), upon being applied to by any respectabl e or eminent person or persons, enter more fully into the subject, and I doubt not that I am competent to procure the necessary information and particulars. That I possess some fitness for those explanations and enquiries, page 558 and 559 of the Appendix of my late publication will probably satisfy any doubt. I ought to observe that the present enlightened Pacha of Egypt has two steam vessels on the Nile. These on one side of the Isthmus, and the Calcutta steam vessels on the other, (or Red Sea side) would open a field for commerce and traffic, the extent and success of which, in the hands of an opulent, prudent, and enterprising company, is incalculable, to say nothing of other Orien tal nations who would flock to the same depot and channel of communications. I should feel obliged to any of your contemporaries who, possessing - a spare corner in their Journals, will h a ve the goodness to transcribe these few obser vations.—l am, Sir, your Obedient Serv an t, JOHN B. SEELY. Capt. 4th Regiment Bombay Native Infantry. Wyke, Dorset NORTH 4- SOUTH SHIVLDS PITT CLUB• NORTH SHIELDS, MAY 29.—Yesterday the North and South Shields PITT CLUB celebrated for the fifteenth time the Anniversary of the birth of that illustrious Statesman the late Right Hon. WILLIAM PITT, by a grand dinner at the Northumberland Arms, North Shields. JOHN FENWICK, Esq., of Campville-House, was the President for the day, and JAMES RicumtnsoN, Esq. the Vice President. After the cloth was drawn, the President gave " The King," with four times four : the toast was drank with perfect enthu siasm. Next followed " The Duke of York and the rest of the Royal Family." The President now rose, and said he had to lament that the chair was not filled on this occasion by some one better able than he was to discharge its important duties. —He was, it was true, an ardent admirer of that great man whose memory they were that day met to comme morate--a man whose political principles had raised this Country to that pitch of greatness which in a degree asto nished the world. And though he was unable to do justice to his feelings in expressing his sentiments as he could wish, he would boldly say this—he was inferior to no man in attachment to his Country and in loyalty to his Sovereign.—(Applause.)—He felt justly proud in being a Briton, and it would ever be his highest satisfaction to endea vour to discharge faithfully the duties of his station. He would repeat it, he venerated the memory of that great man (Mr. Pitt), whose inestimable worth and talents he was so inadequate to do justice to : feeling therefore as he did, and as he was persuaded all felt who heard him, he begged they would fill a full-flowing bumper to do honour to the memory of per haps the very greatest statesman this country had ever pro duced—be meant the late Right Hon. William Pitt—(drank in solemn silence standing). The Secretary of the Club (Wm. Richardson, Esq. Solicitor) here rose, and requested permis sion to recite an Ode, which he had written for the occasion of humbly doing honour to that illustrious individual, whose councils had conferred upon his country, in fact, inexpressible benefits :—We quote the two concluding stanzas of the Ode alluded to : Thus PITT'S achievements triumph now, From fell perversion freed by Time ; The Statesman's plans—his virtues too, Beam in the lustre of their prime : His eagle-eye survey'd the field Where Fate's dread volumes are unfurl'd : When States convuls'd before him reel'd,— ln saving One, he sav'd a World. O ye, associates of this day, While circling flows the rosy stream, While warm ye bask in Freedom's ray, Think not your country's weal a dream ! At Freedom's shrine your vows renew— Your patriot souls reanimate, Give to immortal Worth its due, Let PITT'S renown your hearts elate; Oh ! promptly pour the grateful, choral song, Bid Harmony and Joy th' exulting strains prolong. Very great applause followed the reading of the Ode. As soon as silence was obtained, JOHN TINLEY, Esq. rose to propose a toast, which he begged to preface by a few words :—lle said he was happy to be one who had met together that day to do honour to the memory of the most exalted British Statesman that ever lived to benefit his country—and whose stupendous. talents would in fact constitute one of the proudest ornaments of her political history ! Had this great man (Mr. Pitt) lived, and acted as he did, there is no saying what might have been our fate.—Applause.)—From 1788 to 1794, the workings of that great moral pestilence, the French Revolution, diffused a trait of no ordinary description throughout the British Empire. Sedition reared its daring front in too many forms to be mis understood. And happy it was for this country that she then had a Minister every way transcendently qualified to be the guardian of her honour and her political independence ! Yes, Gentlemen, (continued the speaker) the mind and energy of the late Right Hon. Wm. Pitt successfully grappled with the demoniacal spirit which the French Revolution had engen. dered, and wholesome measures of restraint at once put down the Corresponding Societies, and gave courage to the well-af fected. Thus the Government of the country was strengthened at home, while the noble efforts of the British army abroad, to repel the ruthless aggression of the foe, shed a lustre on the name of Britain, which would ,ever he a grand ornament in the page of England's HistOry.—(Applause.)—The Ho nourable Gentleman went on, dilating in the happiest manner on the ultimate achievements of Britannia's sons, when, through their instrumentality chiefly, the Powers of Continental Europe combined, and hurled from his despo tic car the great disturber of the world—the hitherto invincible Buonaparte, whose last days, on a rock in the Atlantic, formed a wonderful contrast to the pomp that surrounded him, when so many tributary kings were compelled to pay him homage. The awful lesson here shewn by Divine Providence, he trusted would be for the benefit of mankind.—[Mr. Tinley continued for some time:longer, and was listened to with great satisfaction: we regret exceedingly that our limits preventus from giving more at length his excellent speech.' The Hon. Gentleman, before he sat down, gave as a toast---" May the principles of Mr. Pitt ever animate the Councils of Great Britain," which was drank with long continued applause.—The next toasts were, " The Navy and Army of the United Kingdom," and " The House of Bruns wick, may they never forget the principles that seated them on the throne."—The President rose, and said, he was sure they would fill a bumper to the toast he was about to propose : it was, "The President and Members of the several Pitt Clubs throughout the Kingdom."—Drank with great applause. Then followed " The Duke of Wellington, the glory of his country, and the Champion of Europe," and " His Grace of Northumberland, the Lord Lieutenant."—(Both these toasts toasts were drank with three times three, and great applause.) The health of the President was given in very handsome terms by Joseph Laing, Esq. The President rose, and made his acknowledgments accordingly, assuring the company that lie had the greatest satisfaction in being at the head of the table that day. The next toasts in succession were, " The land we live in,"‘ The Wooden W a ll s of Old England," and " Ships, Colonies, and Commerce."—The President rose, and gave the health of " Mr. Richardson, the Secretary to the Club, an indi vidual whose attention and services on all occasions were such as to entitle him to the best thanks of the Members of the Club." The Hon. SECRETARY rose and returned thanks in the hap piest manner. Having . begged permission to give a toast, he said the distinguished individual he had in his eye was indeed am honour to the North—be meant " the Lord Chancellor," and as a Pittite his Lordship might with great truth be placed on the top of the list.—(Here Mr. R. paid a just compliment to the traascendant abilities and patriotism of the Noble Lord, which want of room constrains us to omit.) Mr. WEBSTER rose and proposed the health of the Vice- President.—The VICE-PRESIDENT rose, and, in very neat terms, returned thanks.—The next toasts were " the Coal Trade," " Our excellent Constitution, the glory of England and the admiration of the world," an d " the Rights of the Crown and the Liberty of the people."— Mr. TINLEY rose and said, he had great pleasure in proposing a toast which he felt persuaded would be drank in a bumper. In this great and free Country it was well known that the Press was a mighty engine, and when directed by men of talent and education, con. duced very essentially to the moral dignity of the nation. — He was pleasingly reminded of the toast by seeing before him a Gentleman connected . with it. He therefore begged Pto give " the Health of Mr. Grieveson and the Liberty of the Press."—(Applause.) Mr. GR ' IEVESON rose to return thanks, and to express his high sense of the honour that had been conferred upon him. Mr. G. expatiated for some time on the unquestionable advan tages which this country enjoyed by means of the press, when that powerful engine was confided to intelligent and well-in tentioned individuals ; observing, on the other hand, it was but too well known to what base purposes it could be made to pander, when wielded by designing men, who had sinister ob jects in view. In times of popular excitement the Govern ment was often complained of; but it should be borne in mind, that— " If e'er coercion's cords they're forced to draw, 'Tis to support the Majesty of Law." Mr. G., before he resumed his seat, begged to give " Pros perity to the North and South Shields Pitt Club,' , which toast was drank with great applause. The next toast wa s prefaced in a very happy and feeling manner by the P RES IDENT, who requested the Company would stand up, and drink in solemn silence, " To the Me mory of their late good and pious King, George the Third."— Drank accordingly. Mr. BAINBRIDGE, Of South Shields, proposed, in very handsome terms, " the Strangers who had that day honoured ed the Club with their Company." Mr. Brown (of London) rose and returned thanks. A variety of loyal and appropriate toasts followed—amongst which were " his Majesty's Mini- Aters."—" The House of Wynyard," (proposed in wry haw"' some terms by Mr. Fell) " The Members for Northumber land."—" The Mayor and Corporation of Newcastle," eice.,.,t One of the last toa s t s w hi c h t h e R eporter heard, (which will "i mentioned anon) was int ro d uce d by th e President in the mat tender and respectful way. The town of North Shields ha" : been deprieved by death the day before of one of the bestt% its citizens, a man w e ll k nown an d en d eare d to t h em a ll bY B 1 many amiable qualities, a Member of that Club and what dered his loss a sever er bl ow , he was the humane Interpret of the Laws, as a M ag i s t ra t e . His removal hence in the 72d ro t of his age, would be long felt as a blow of no common nature' Under these circumstances (continued the President) I proP le , as an act of well- mean t h omage to t h e wort h o f t h e decease'', that we fill a glass—.." To the memory of the late John Scott, Esq. of Dock-wray square."—The company all rose, anti vrit li great sincerity o f f ee li ng , d ran k t h e toast w hi c h t h e Chair 1,a4 been so anxious to accomplish. The spirit of the Meetinf , though damped by th e l as t t oas t, was soon ra lli ed b y t h e abs exertions of the Chairman, and we understand that conviviala and good humour were kept up till a late hour.
