THE LONDON JOURNALS. DA MY Patraets from the Morning Papers, Nov. 6. [MORNING POST.I It appears from the New Tariff of Duties, sub mitted on the 22d ult. by the King of the Ne therland, to the Second . Chamber of the States- General, that the laws of that country, relative tothe import and export of Grain, have hitherto been framed on principles very different from these which the present distresses of its agricul tural classes have brought into vogue. The ob ject of former enactments was to keep corn cheap by heavy duties on the export of that species of produce, and comparatively low duties on its im port. The project recently presented to the Second Chamber of the States is intended, partially and gradually, to reverse this policy, and render corn dear. The import duty on Wheat, Rye, Bar ley, and , Oats is accordingly augmented, and h*ed at 24 florins the " last" on the first-15 ditto on the second-12 ditto on the third—and seven ditto on the 4th : while the export duty on the same article is reduced, and fixed respective ly at 20y 15, 20, and 10 florins per " last." It is likewise worthy remark, that the King proposes to reserve to himself, in case of the new law being adopted, to reduce the augmented duty on these four kinds of grain, " in proportion as the circumstances which have given occasion to the present increase, shall undergo any changes."— We hence think it may be justly concluded that public opinion► in the Netherlands has been, and is decidedly in favour of cheap corn, although to conciliate temporarily the suffer ing agriculturists, the Government is obliged to modify, but only modify, the tariff heretofore in ' operation. 'We are thus particular in pointing out the motive and hearing of the late project, - because a contemporary has unfairly affected to turn it into ridicule, by asserting that the King inconsistently recommends in one and the same breath an import and export duty on grain. That, notwithstanding the new tariff, there will be such duties, no one certainly can deny ; but if the amount of augmentation in the one case be added to the amount of reduction in the other, it must appear that considerable encouragement (so far as such regulations have power to encourage or do otherwise) to the agriculturists of the Netherlands, is given and intended to be given 4y the Decree. Still we cannot withhold from our view the wish which stares through the whole proceeding, to preserve bread and the other necessaries of life immediately derived from the soil at a moderate price. The advisers of King William are too well aware how indispensable a . Constituent in national prosperity is cheap food, to run the risk of eventually sacrificing it even to relieve the severe distresses which for a time afflict the landed interest. The lesson, we are sure, will be duly attended to by this country and Government. Bread is now rapidly advanc ing here in price, although much old and da maged flour is palpably mixed up with several de leterious ingredients besides, in the article baked for the use of the lower and middle classes, and sold something under what is termed "full price." There is further a confident expectation that before Christmas the quality of a (portent loaf, which this week sells for 10d. (and but a few weeks back sold for 8(1.) will have risen to a shilling ; while butchers' meat, and every other produce of land necessary to existence, will of course keep pace with the rate of bread. Should we then calmly look on at. these alarming symp toms, and let scarcity proceed till our manufac tures are driven back, on account of their dear ness, from foreign markets, and a vast portion of the community once more ‘ 4 knocked idle," and ready, from absolute want, to join in any wild scheme of sedition which evil disposed persons many think proper to propound ? The Con tinent is a natural granary, in the actual state of Europe, for the supply of this country, and by purchasing the corn of our neighbours, we at the same moment net only Macaw the number of our foreign customers for British goods, • but we preserve to ourselves a monopoly of their ptoduc tion. So important an opportunity ought not to be lost. The Landed Interest itself would eventually profit by some modification of the Corn Laws ; for, while they continue, we cannot hope to escape a round of extraordinary enhancements and extraordinary depressions of price. Let this most essential portion of the public reflect, that the distresses which they laboured under twolhilr three years back, mainly resulted in consequence of the distresses from want of foreign markets, which our manufacturers just before endured. [tRLITISII PRESS.] The accounts from Peru are somewhat dis cordant. in some of them, Olaneta is repre pented as still acknowledging, to a certain extent, the authority of the Viceroy La Serna, by paying him a certain monthly contribution towards the expences of the war. Valdei is stated to be in ill health ut Arequipa, and the jealousy between that General and Cantarac is stated to have reduced tife Viceroy to the necessity of consulting thorn `both on a very important measure, lest, either of them should secede from his duty. From other quarters we bear that Valdez was marching with a considerable force against Olaneta,. who had publicly renounced his subjection to the King .of Spain. Whatever may be the true state of the intestine dissensions amongst the Royalists, it . seems to be agreed that Bolivar was advancing froin TruXillo towards Lima, at the head Of en army 14,000 strong, which, when the reinforce meta§ 'should join it, would consist of upwards of 18,000 effective men. Ile was, at the date of ha last Accounts, at Xuuxa or Jauja (the sound 0 the ..aintie in Spanish) within three leagues of ; and the Royalists, afraid to risk-a battle, ..tv'ere._retrest.ing before him. Itt on e l e tt er it i s sa id , Wat the SpaniSh authorities had withdrawn them selies for safety to .the fortress of .Callao, but; there thely are certainly not out of the reach of :Ahingerois: part of the garrison had lately mu-' tinled, with the. design of surrendering the place to the Colombians. The power of the Spaniards cannot endure much longer in Peru. If the Royalist Generals were united and obedien t they would be overwhelmed by the well-ap pointed force of the Colombian Liberator ; and when we are reminded of the baseness and apathy of the Peruvians, we , should not. forget that if they are disinclined to make sacrifices to support their independence, they are still less disposed to devote themselves to ruin to uphold the King's authority. ETIIE TIMES.] The merchants trading with Brazil complain loudly of the conduct of the Post-office, in hav ing charged the packet-rate of postage" on the letters brought by his Majesty's ship Brazen from Rio de Janeiro. The rule has been for merly not to charge this rate on the letters brought by ships of war, unless there was no packet in port at the time of sailing ; but in this case there was a packet in the harbour of Rio at the time of the Brazen's departure, and which sailed a few days afterwards. Between the packet and the ship-rate of charge there is a very material difference, the former being twice or three times the amount of the latter.— To levy the full packet-rate, therefore, under the circumstances described, forms a heavy tax on the foreign merchant. In the present case, the packet, when it arrives, will principally bring duplicates of the letters sent by the Brazen. The merchants concerned have made applications for redress to the conductors of the Post-Office, which are at present under consideration. It may be alleged on the part of the Post-Office that, by the early arrival of the Brazen, a benefit has been gained by the merchants, equal to that which a packet could have afforded ; hut the merchants may then, with justice, require that the letters which are delivered from the packet when it arrives, shall be reduced in postage to the ship-rate. If in one instance more has been I performed, in the other there has been less than the implied contract of the Post-Office with the merchants required. The postage of a merchant's letters, it should he observed, amounts generally to a considerable sum ; yet they do not so much complain of the present proceeding in the light of a pecuniary loss, as for the evidence they think it affords of a disposition to take unfair ad vantages of them by a public office. It is hoped that the mode in which their application is treated will remove that insinuation, and prevent its being revived on any future occasion. Nothing is more clearly the duty and interest of a great public establishment like this, than to fix honourable !win. ciples of action, never ) on any account, to be de viated from. [NEW TIMES.] The details of the full of Pernambuco, brought by the Agnes, Stripling, which left that port on the 21st of September, are interesting in many points of view. There has always been a Repub. lican party in Brazil, though manifestly small in number and deficient in respectability. To this faction belonged Carvalho, the Governor of Per nambuco, who openly resisted the Imperial autho rity, and maintained possession of his post, though he had been removed from his command by the Emperor. Carvalho probably aspired to be the Dictator of a visionary Republic ; but he was soon shut up, with his small force, within the walls of Pernambuco. Lord Cochrane for some time blockaded the port. His Lordship, had retired to Bahia before the attack on the town. This latter event took place on the 18th September, when Car valho could not bring together above 100 men to resist the assault. The contest was therefore but of short duration, and Carvalho fled for slid. ter on board a British ship of war, the Com mander of which extended to him that protec• (ion which humanity prompted. This seems to have ended the abortive attempt to plant Repub licanism in Brazil! LMORNING CURONICLE.J The consequence of the recent Bank failures has been exactly what we anticipated. The ap prehension of the public in all such cases is sure to impair, if not to destroy, confidence fora time, the consequence of which is, that many individuals, not prepared for such estate of things,are involved in ruin. It is high time the public should be se, cured against the recurrence of calamities of this nature, by the Legislature allowing Banking Es. tablishtnents on a scale which would inspire the public with the most perfect confidence. Now that it is understood Ministers receive no benefit whatever from the Bank of England accommo dations, as they are called, there is not even a pretext for continuing the ruinous monopoly.— An arrangement ought to be entered into with the Bank without delay, and if such an arrange ment is not attempted, all we say is, that Minis ters will have much to answer for. Their neglect has already reduced numbers from a state of comparative affluence to beggary. Do not let them presume too much on the patience of the people of this country. Patient as English. men proverbially are, they are seldom indifferent spectators of convulsions by which property is extensively endangered.—Why do not Mr. 1-lus kisson and Mr. Robinson, who know what good policy demands in a case of this kind, watch over the public interest ? We know that there are obstacles in their way, arising out of private interests ; but it is their business to make head against these obstacles. [MORNING HERALD.] By another part, of our Paper, (see another column of The Sun), it will be perceived, that the further Prorogation of the Parliament, till Thurs day, Jan. (~yesterday took place p iiccording to the customary forms. The Lord Chancellor was the leading Commissioner, and gave utterance to his Majesty's commands ; and we are glad to be informed that the Learned Lord appeared in excellent health. The Lord Chancellor, as his Majesty's Commissioner, in proroguing the 'Parliament, used peculiar, but not altogether unusual language. his Lordship, in the name of his Majesty, further , prorogued the Par-, liament, till Thursday, January 6—" to be then and here holden." Some consider this language 'as tantarnotintAd 'the declaration contained in a ;Proclamation: directing the Parliament to meet " for the dispatch of divers urgent and important Public affairs." The probability is, that the Parlia- men t will not re-assemble on the 6th iannary,which is Old Christmas Day, and of course follows too closely the festivities of Christmas ; but that 4 further and short prorogation will take place till the latter end of January or the beginning of February, when the Parliament will be positively directed to assemble for the dispatch of business. The meeting of Parliament cannot well be post poned till a later period than the end of January, on account of the " Private Business," as it is termed, of both Houses. The private business of the approaching Session, it is already calculat ed, by the Bills for Companies, &c. that are pre paring, or have had notices of them given, will exceed, in quantity and importance, any pre ceding years—even of those Sessions, of which Mr. Pitt and Mr. Rose used to boast so much, when there were so many Bills for Inch). sures, &c. It is expected that there will be upwards of two hundred Private Bills before the Parliament, for Joint Stock Companies, Loan Companies, Oil Gas Companies, Clean W as hi ng a nd Pure Water Companies, and the various Road, Engine, and Turnpike Measures. The Lawyers are very busy, as are divers Par liamentary agents, in preparing Bills; and the Bills, of course, will not fail to have the custo mary decorations of Directors, Trustees, Bankers, Secrete ries,Actua ries,A udi tors, Solicitors, Agents, Engineers, Chairmen, Deputy Chairmen, Parlia mentary Agents, &c. &c. Thus there is likely to be much warm work without the aid of politics. [TUE PUBLIC LEDGER.] By the Agnes, arrived at Liverpool on Tues day last, from Pernambuco, we have received some additiOnal details of the capture of that place. This event, which is considered a death blow to the Republican faction in Brazil, is the result in a great measure of British valour; for though a land force co-operated with the block ading squadron, and in a manner highly credit able to the Brazilian arms, it was a night attack, made by a strong party of British seamen, which decided the fate of the place. In one letter, their number is estimated at three hundred, and in another at twice that amount. The assault was made on the night of the lath, under the orders of Capt. Norton, of the Nichterloy frigate, who had volunteered his services on the occa sion. The result was - the occupation of the Recife, into which Carvaiho, the late Governor, had thrown himself with his chief adherents.— The Brazilian troops, who formed the blockade on the land side, and who distinguished them selves in this service beyond what had been probably expected, had previously obtained pos session of Boa Vista, Santo Antonio, and every thing as far as the bridge of the Recife. At this point their progress was arrested ; and from the 12th, when the above-mentioned places were occupied by General Lima, iyho' commanded the Brazilians, there had been a pause in the operations of the siege, till the night of the 16th, as the General did not think himself strong enough to attack the be sieged in their last place of retreat. However, the party of Carvalho made good use of the in terval, as they gave themselves up to plunder, in which they appear to have shown greater alacrity than in their preparations to ward off the catas trophy, which overtook them at last, and which has happily overturned the chief obstacle to the consolidation of the Imperial Government.We say happily, because in the first place the govern ment of the Emperor has met the wishes of the enlightened part of the nation ; and, in the next, the real end, whatever may have been the object of the Republican faction, was to promote anarchy, and, lastly, a separation of th e pro vinces. Whatever the origi na l v i ews o f t hi s party may have been, their passions would have trans formed them at last into the tools of foreign in fluence, the more dangerous too on account of their fanaticism, and the pretended purity of their political tenets. We rejoice, therefore, at their downfall ; and the event, we have no doubt, will have the happiest, as well as an immediate influence on the condition of this new and in teresting Empire. TERRIBLE Exer.oszos.—At exactly 11 o'clock, on Saturday last, the powder-mills in Lee, owned by Messrs. LAFLIN, 1,005118, and Co., were blown to atoms, with two tremendous reports, about 10 or 15 seconds apart, that shook the buildings in this town (a distance of four miles) to their very base. The buildings in the vicinity of the mills were more or less injured ; but the most distressing circumstance of all is the loss of lives. Three persons were killed, and one so severely wounded that his life is in imminent danger. The first explosion took place in the glazing mill in which were Messrs. Targee and Sparks, one of whom was blown over the top of a tree at least thirty feet , in height, into the river ; the other was found at the distance of ten or fifteen rods from the spot : both were dead, and their bodies mangled in a most shocking manner. Mr. Beach was in the drying building, and was found in the mill-pond, at some distance from the mill, an hour or two afterwards. Mr. Hinckley, the person wounded was on the floor, outside the glazing-will, and was thrown into the river. Since the above was in type, we have been in formed th a t t h e quantity of powder which ex ploded was betwe e n two and three tons, and that the loss of the works, damage to building, &c. will not MI short of 4000 dollars. Mr. Hinck ley, we are sorry to be obliged to add, died of his wounds on Monday. This is the sixth time these mills have blown up within six months.-- (American Paper.) Monday morning, as Captain ACLAND and his Lady were coming to Exeter, from Killerton, in a g ig drawn by a line horse belonging to Sir 'P., A C LAND, Bart., th e an i ma l s uddenly r a i se d i ts head, and dropt dead on the road. A farmer, residing at North Curry, near this town, named L/LIGH, about 77 years of age, ac cording to his own account, has drunk, on an average 14 pints of cider daily, for 50 years, ex clusively of other liquors ; amounting to about 500 hogsheads! fie is now in perfect health, and continues to indulge in his usual daily al lowance.—( Taunton Courier.) FOR THE SUN. INTERESTING TALE. MR. EDITOR—Your readers may rely upon the following story being original and true, and never yet publicly communicated, as it is of very recent occurrence : In the County of Surrey, some few miles from Loudon, under the care and benevolence of a worthy master, lives a labourer, now an aged servant, being upwards of ninety years old. — Over and over again persuasions have been made to him to cease from labour, and live easily and quietly in the lodge adjacent to his master's house. This he as constantly refuses to do, and, by a good appetite, is enabled to scratch up the earth and mend the road leading to the resi dence, which is his favourite employment. He invariably replies to overtures of the above kind, that he has all he wants ; his children have left him ; he will not be idle, and desires to re main in his present situation. It happened, one day, he was discovered by his master lying on his back upon the lawn before the house, haring fal len down in a fit, but after being removed into the house, and proper assistance provided he re covered. When able to speak, he said to his master, 46 Master, I'm ready to die; I'm quite worn out ; I never wronged no one in my life— that's not true neither. I remember I did once. 44 When was that, Richard ?" Why, when I was a boy, about six or seven years old, I won a half penny of my play-fellow ***to**, and he went and told his mother : I sees her coming to I, so I hides the halfpenny in the lining of my bat; says she, 64 you av won a halfpenny of my boy here ;" says I, ",no, I didn't ;" but, says she, " I knows you did ; you av got it now ;" I says, " I aunt, sarch me if you like ;" which she did, but could not find it upon me; so, when she goes away, I gave the halfpenny back to the boy again ; 44 so you sees, Master, I never did wrong to nobody in my life, so I am prepared for death this hour." The fits, however, of the poor old man of late made him expect his departure from this world ipust be drawing very near, and, hav ing entirely by his previous industry brought up and maintained a family, not fewer in number than eight, some of whom were dead, one only turned out badly, but his daughters well. One day a thought strikes him, and he comes up to the house, and tells the man-servant he wants very much to see his Master ; this being duly notified, he was ordered into the library, whi ther the Master repaired, when, presently, is must it a y x o u a want favour?'' in walks 44 Old Richard."—" Well, Rich ard, what t l Measter,whon" ye,Please e at the o y l o o tr y , one I want." " Well, what is it ?" 44 You sees I be ninety years ohl or more ; I can't live long ; I has a daughter that lives at Havant, and an other at 'Wimbledon ; " Mary," (who lives at Havant) "must now be fifty year's old ; she is married ; I knows she's living ; I should like to see her once more before I die, if ye would please to let me go." " And how would you get there, Richard ?" 0, I would go by the coach." " Then you must get to Kingston to do that ; and how will you manage to get there ?" Bless ye, Sir, I'll walk there." The distance being great, his benevolent master not only gave his consent for his departure, but ordered William to take him to Kingston in the chaise-cart on the next morn ing, and place him inside the conch. Accord ingly, early the next morning, William went forth with his protegee, and great was the resistance Old Richard made to an inside birth, but being subject to fits his mastet gave peremptory orders that he should nor be allowed to travel on the outside. Hav ing arrived at Havant, he got out of the coach, and scarcely out of it ere he in quires 46 Does one ***** live any where abouts here ;" yes, down yonder." Meditating a trick, away goes Richard, and finds out the cot tage of his daughter Mary: halting momentarily at the door, he gives some gentle taps, when comes to it a hale looking woman, and asks what he wants there : " Pray, is your good mau at home ;" " no, he ant';" " for I be come from Wimbeldon, and they axed me to come and call and see how'he and his wife gets on :"—" Walk in, will ye ;" the old man walks in; 44 sit down; he must be hungry by this hour ;" " Yes, I've a mind to eat a bit." The unsuspecting wife then sets things before him, and holds on the conver sation until rather late, when the woman says to him, " So they be all well at Wimbledon, be they ?" 0, very well :" 46 How's *****, she be my Sister i" 46 She's pearly too :" 64 Will your husband be long afore be comes in ?" " No, I expects him every minute." The night was uow coming on, which made Richard ask this last question." 44 Be these your children ?"—" Yes," " And how be ye, Mary ?" Oh, I am well, thankee," somewhat startled at hearing her Chris tian name mentioned. " Did you hear, Sir, them at Wimbledon ever talk about Richard Parker ?" 46 Mayhap, I did." " And how did they say he was ?" " Pretty tolerable for his years ; he'd had a fit or two, which made him incline to think he should'nt live much longer, and wanted to see his daugh ter Mary." The light was now setting in, the husband had not returned, so the old man thought he ought not to carry the dis guise on further, and therefore this proceeds to reveal himself : 46 Would you like to see Richard Parker" 66 Yes, I should, very much indeed ; but with my children around me, I can't no how move aways." " Do you think you should know him." " Oh yes." 64 Be ye cartin you should ?" " Yes, though he must be an auld man now." 46 Aye, he's very old:" " But I's sure I should know Richard Parker ; why he be my father."— Now looking earnestly and attentively at each other, too tired to rise, he says," 44 Weel, Mary, I be your old Richard Parker, and my master, Mr. —, gee I leave to come away and see thee before I die, but I be's old, and ye have forgot me l" Thus mentioning other clues at the time, by which he discovered himself to the d au g hter to be her father, and upon which he was in stantly recognized. It is needless to add,. that the (laughter and her children, overjoyed at the discovery, fell upon the old man's neck, and em braced him in the most affectionate manner.— Having passed a week with his grand-children and their mother, he returned cheerfully back to his master, and told him the above story ; who having heard it, assembled all his family, and bade the old servant recite the tale again. Accordingly he did so, and with much vivacity and spirit, the old man's eyes sparkling as he introduced the part where he undisguised himself: nor were his the only eyes that glistened upon the occasion, but the children of his master, affected , by the artless and uncouth manner in which he told the story, could not refrain from shedding those tears which virtuous sympathy for others ever WM draw down, and this anecdote was h eard by the writer who now transmits it as it fell from the lips of the father of that good family. The object of the old man's journey, beyond seeing his daughter, was not learnt ; probably, some of his sa vings were conveyed to her. But the moral which is here conveyed is a fair lesson to the crafty and the pampered servants of the nobility, ho nod others, and ought effectually to tel l them, w alone, by industry, by honesty, and c ontentment , death can be met calmly and satisfactorily, either in the smock-frocked labourer, or liveried foote man. lam aware, Mr. Editor, that this anecdote, from its length, is scarcely fit for your p a p er, but I crave the first space that Is at liberty l enta your columns during the recess of Parliam, and you will oblige both a constant Reader ORand, November Ist, 11324.
