THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, June 16. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Report recently laid before Parliament, on the nature and extent of the disturbances in Ireland, justify us in auguring very fa vourably, as well from the very able and im partial manner in which the Committee have conducted their inquiries, as from the practical results to which the information thus obtained is likely to lead. The Committee do not hesitate to avow their objection to the Insurrection Act, as considered apart from the imperative circum stances which led originally to its enactment, a nd which, unhappily, call for its further conti nuance. There never was a period when it was more important that the public, in this country, should be fully acquainted with the real situa tion of the sister kingdom than at present; nor was there ever a subject on which a greater va riety of erroneous conceptions have prevailed, or on which a greater number of false and foolish speculations have been let loose. That its strength has been broken ; that the foundations of its prosperity have for the present given way ; and that its disorder is dangerous and deeply seated—all this is true ; and is to be Ignented. But there is, at the same time, no reason to doubt its capacity of overcoming the causes which pro duce all this evil, and of regaining that state of tranquillity and contentment which of late years has received so material an interruption. The equitable and protective, but, at the same time, firm and vigorous policy of the Marquis Welles ley, has already done much, and if well support ed by our Government here, will yet do much more towards changing the destiny of Ireland, and allaying those frightful spirits of turbulence and faction with which she is so perpetually called to contend. [TILE TIMES.] The proceedings in the House of Commons last night with respect to the recognition of the independence of the South American States, was less interesting than might have been expected. In reply to Sir James Mackintosh's speech, Mr. Canning indicated that no change had taken place, and that our Government still rested on its former declarations; but, after he had sat down, as women are said to impart the most important intelligence in the postscripts of their letters, he rose again to say, that we had refused anew to become a party in a Congress of the great Powers, for the arrangement of the differences between the South American States and old Spain. Now, it may be very true that no im portant -change, no crisis has arisen in the affairs of South America, calling for an im mediate and formal recognition ; but yet it may be observed, in the words of Lord Bacon, that time itself, by its silent lapse, is the greatest in novator.: it path - in this instance produced a change, for if the revolted States have made no approach to a re-union, they are for that very cause the more dissevered, because they have continued longer in a state of separation : and sufficient time has now surely been allowed to the mother country to obtain, if she pleased, the grace and merit of the first recognition. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The most important service which Sir James Mackintosh has rendered (a service acknow ledged by Mr. Canning), was the removing the erroneous impressions very generally entertained with regard to recognition. " There are two kinds of recognition," perfectly distinct, though they are so frequently confounded. We were a good deal astonished to find Mr. Canning dwell ing upon the distinction, thanking his Honour able and Learned Friend for placing the subject in its true point of view, agreeing with him that, in the second sense, recognition was merely, on the part of a State, a simple acknowledgment of the fact, or rather its opinion of the fact—and yet quibbling about the effect which the understand ing the term in another sense might have, as an advantage to the State, recognized, as if we ought to be deterred from the adoption of any lawful measure, which would promote our own interests, because a greater benefit than we in tended to give might be derived by others from it. " Nothing," said the Right Ho nourable Gentleman, " is more plain and easy than the act of acknowledging a fact (if fact it be), that such a Government is indepen dent, yet I am quite certain he will agree with me, that it may make a difference if that acknow ledgment be asked which implies an expectation of consequences which do not necessarily belong to it. lam sure he will feel, that great as the boon of recognition in its simpl es t sense m i g h t b e to any new overnment, it would be greater, if though given in one sense it were accepted in an other. It might be given as a mere acknowledg ment of a fact, and accepted as a sort of treaty of alliance and co-operation." 'We really do not see, if the [tight Honourable Gentleman h a d not been obliged to say something to amuse the House for a decent length of time, while he could, in reality, communicate nothing but the fact that the British Government would now act on its own decision, without regard to any other Government, and that it had a second time refused to attend a Congress.—We really do not see why we should distress our selves with a question with which we have no concern. A shopkeeper might as well distress himself with the thought, that the man to whom he sold a night-cap might conceive he had got a pair of breeches. We can feel for the dis tressing situatio n in which Mr. Canning is placed respect to this ticklish question. Sir Fran c;s Burdett was, we suspect, not far from the truth, when he attributed the hitch in the way of recognit ion to t he civil di ssensions at home, the ex istence of which h as been proved by the proceedin,qs in Chancery. eto whom the Ca binet must' b ow billet and , who has so often shewo that IP pOSSeSSeS a has determinednnuence to which all must y ell, American States shall not be recognised, Till the u•ng's cl ear his doubts are removed, Mr. Can destanding of the matter will be of little avail to the nation. [MORNING POST.] We received last night by Express, French Papers to the 14th inst.—The war between the Ultras and the Ministers is now carried on in the most open and active manner. The former have taken part, as it might be expected, with their defeated champion, and an idea will he formed of the moderation with which they proceed, by the following extract from the Journal des De bats. Our readers will no doubt recollect that even the day before Chateaubriand's dismissal, that Paper considered Messrs. de Villele and Corbiere, and all the Members of the Ad ministration, as men of deep wisdom and superior ability, and thought that the direc tion of the affairs of the State could not be entrusted to better hands. It is really curious to see how suddenly and completely that opinion has been changed It is not thus," says the Journal des Debals, " that Frenchmen can be long governed. White people are not to be treated like Negroes. To take upon them selves the responsibility of those Electoral Circu lars which afflicted all men of honour and inde pendence to suffer that public opinion should be gagged by the black band which ensnares news papers, to waste and to compromise in one mo ment, through want of foresight, and out of pride and auger, the results of the Spanish war : is to know very little of this country ! We repeat it, it is not sufficient to be a man of business to carry on the administration of France : it is also necessary to be a. Statesman. Of this we per ceive no trace in the line of conduct which has been adopted. We only see in it ignorance both of times and men." The electoral circulars al luded to in the preceding extract as " having af flicted all men of honour and independence," are those Which the very same Paper justified a month or two ago, as equally just and politic. [NEW TIMES.] In the House of Commons, last night, Mr. Canning took occaslon to state distinctly the grounds on which, kris . Majesty's Government now stand with respect - to SOuth America. It has lona since been avowed that Great Britain was under no formal obligation to Spain, or any other csuntry, which could prevent her from recog nising the independence of any one of the South American StateS; but a feeling of delicacy toward the King of Spain existed, which led the British Government to wish that he should be the first to make such recognition. That feel ing, from its very nature, could only be tempo rary, and Mr. Canning had repeatedly declared that a very short time must put an end to it. He now avowed that all further restraint from such a cause was at an end, and England was free to take her own course as prudence might dictate, without in any manner taking into account the wishes or dispositions of his Catholic Majesty. Still there are very many and important consi derations affecting our own interests, which it will be necessary to weigh with great deliberation be fore we commit the national interests by a formal recognition, which in the natural course of things might be expected to lead to an alliance. To DO judgments can WQ so safely trust for a fair and liberal view of those considerations, as to the judgments of his Majesty's present Ministers, who have ever shewn a disposition to embrace that policy which rests on true liberality as its basis. Great and mighty interests are at stake : the nation has long reposed a confidence in the present Ministers ; and that confidenc e has never been betrayed. With justice, therefore, did Mr. Canning call upon Parliament for a continuance of the same trust. Diplomatic Agents have been sent out for the express purpose of collecting ac curate information as to the state of those court tries, countries so distant and so little known to us. It would be inconsistent with the caution which dictated the missions of those gentlemen to take any decisive steps before their oflicial reports are re ceived and found satisfactory. Meanwhile we lose nothing ; for we actually enjoy an uninterrupted trade with those extensive regions ; and it is very doubtful whether for a long time to come that trade will be capable of any considerable improvement. To this, however, among other points, the vigilant attention of his Majesty's Ministers will no doubt be directed ; and no op portunity will be let pass, which can prudently .be laid hold of, for opening new resources to the national industry and enterprise. [MORNING HERALD.] No leading article in this Paper to-day. Hiatt ScnooL.—On Monday last Dr. Brunton presented to the Rector's class in the High School a gold medal, with a chain, which is to be worn daily in the class by the dux. The interesting circumstances which gave occasion to this handsome donation were concisely but elegantly detailed to the class by Dr. Brunton. Wm. Bain gained the Murroan medal in the Rector's class in IBo9,with distinguished applause. After continuing his career for some years most successfully at College, he was prematurely cut off in the prime of his youth. His only remaining relative, the late Mr. Patrick Philp, who was much attached to him, survived him but a few years ; andia short period before his death, he directed that his nephew's medal and premium should be deposited in the library of the High School, and that a medal should be presented through Dr. Brunton, to the Rector's class, to be worn as a daily distinction by the dux. Dr. Brunton observed that, in the instance of William Bain gaininc , the medal, it had been awarded to the unknown, the unfriended son of a widow, merely from his merits as a scholar. This was a most honourable distinction of this excellent seminary. No one could ever wear or look upon this ornament without being reminded that the honours of the High School are distributed with the strictest imp art i a li ty, and without drawing from this considera tion the strongest incentives to vigorous exertion. Mr. Carson made an appropriate reply, in the name of his scholars, who ap peared much interested and gratified on the occasion. Dr. Brunton was accompanied by Bailie Allan, and some friends of the late Mr. Philp.--( Edinburgh Courant, June 12. ) Mr. II A RRIS'S BALLOON.—The late Mr. liAtt- Ris's balloon was conveyed on Thursday afternoon to the Bed ford Arms, Camden-Town, and was on Friday exhibited in the long-room of that tavern, for the benefit of the widow and her family. There was no charge made, but the Committee left it entirely to the generosity of the visitors. The balloon, we are assured, is not either burst or any way damaged, with the exception, of the car, the wicker work of which is crushed by the-concussion occasioned by its falling against the tree in Bed dington Park ; nor is the splendid crimson drapery at all torn. Sophia Stocks has been removed to London. JOSEPH WILLIAM HODGSON, surgeon, of Sun derland, was last week committed to Durham Jail, until the next Assizes, on suspicion of having administered corrosive sublimate, with intent to poison his wife. The account adds, there is reason to believe the unhappy man's mind is disor dered. LITERARY NOTICE. A LETTER on the NATURE and EFFECTS of the TREAD-WHEEL, as an Instrument of Punishment, ad dressed to the Right Hon. Robert Peel, i'I.P., his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, &c. &c., with an Appendix of Notes and Cases. By one of his Constituents, and a Magistrate of the County of Surrey. There has been a singular revolution of public opinion since the Tread-Mill, or Wheel, was first introduced, for it was then considered as an effec tual supplement to legal inflictions, in rendering imprisonment really a punishment, and not a re fuge for indolent wickedness,and that by the labour which it imposed, it excited a dread in the minds of culprits that might tend to promote reforma tion. Several benevolent persons, however, having directed their attention to this novel mode of punishment, were induced to think that it was too severe in its nature, and, far from being likely to produce a moral effect, tended to harden the minds of offenders, and, by removing all sense of shame, rendering them more determined and des perate in villany, Among the benevolent cha racters who came forward in opposition to this new instrument of punishment, and to prove that it could not be considered as a moral engine, the most conspicuous were Sir JOHN COXEHIPPESLEY, Dr. MASON GOOD, and JOHN IVATT BRISCOE, Esq. The very names of these respectable cha racters gave weight to their arguments, and excited strong doubts in the public mind as to the expedi ency of continuing the operation of so severe a mode of punishment. The pamphlet before us is the work of the last of these Gentlemen, as we find from the signature to the Letter, which is follow ed by Cases, and a Supplement, illustrating the propriety and force of the reasoning which he ad vances on the occasion. The Author could not have addressed his letter to a more enlightened and liberal character than Mr. PEEL, independently of the official situation which Mr. P. holds, and which renders him the person to whom the Ad-' dress is most appropriate. The Letter is written in a very temperate manner, though the Author feels so strongly on the subject ; and the cases which he adduces are certainly striking and for cible. The work will, no doubt, be read with all dile attention by Mr. PEEL ; and, if he should be convinced of the severity of the punishment, and of the moral inefficacy of its operation, every thing may be expected from his justice and humanity. On reading this. Work, we could not but feel great pleasure •in seeing that the Author is one among the Magistracy of the country, as he seems well qualified by learning, ability, and benevolence to do honour to the office. We have no room for long citations from the Work, which we recommend to the attention of all men of en lightened minds, who, in their zeal for justice, do not disregard the dictates of humanity. But, in justice to the Author, we subjoin the follow ing passage, in which he sums up his objec tions to the Tread-Wheel, under the following heads ; 1. It inverts the o rder of nature in its mode of operation ; not only by makin g the feet perform the industrious office of ' the hands, and by its unnatural strain upon those parts which are not signed for active exercise ; but by throwing the whole weight of the body upon the fore part of the feet alone. 2. It allows of no change of position, or of action, in the muscles and organs, which are thus unnaturally exercised. 3. It is necessarily unequal in its measure in proportion to the age, health, strength, and previous habits of the pri soner. 4. Its morbid action overpowers the frame, and exposes the constitution to various Maladies; besides a liability to fever, from the frequent alternation of heat and cold; and the undue excitement produced by extreme exertion. 5. It puts the prisoner in peril of serious accidents which no ingenuity seems capable of averting ; from the breaking, and other irregularities of the machinery, as well as from the dan ger of falling off, through a sudden seizure of giddiness, faint ness, or cramp. 6. From its intrinsic nature it has a strong tendency to de grade the moral character, by debasing and hardening the feel ings ; the shame at first excited too generally terminating in obduracy. 7. It harrasses and overwhelms the mind as much as it dis tresses and consumes the body. 8. It teaches no habits of useful industry which may. be ser viceable to the prisoner when released from its drudgery ; and in no respect assists in overcoming that aversion to labour which frequently occasions the commission of crime. 9. It is incapable of a discriminate application to different degrees of criminality—to those sentenced to hard labour under the charge of misdemeanours, and to those undergoing the pu nishment of convicted felons. _ _ 10. It has a tendency to excite a spirit of discontent and hos tility on the part of the Poor, against their natural and legal guardians, and of falsehood on that of the offender towards those who superintend the infliction of the punishment. 11. It partakes of the nature of torture, and is alike revolt ing to the spirit of English law, humanity, and an enlightened policy. 12. It directly counteracts the impression of religious in struction ; and is incompatible with a system of reformatory The Election of a Member of Parliament, for Northallerton, took place on Friday last, when MARCUS BEaEsFonn, Esq., was unanimously elected, but being abroad, R. W. C. PE/RSE, Esq., was chaired for him. Recent Letters from Saint Petersburgh speak of the probability of their speedily being opened in that City a Loan-Bank, chiefly with a view to grant relief to the nobility who are landed proprietors. It would seem that several of the Russian Grandees are visiting the Baths at Mount Caucasus. Amongst others who are trying the efficacy of these waters at present is the Minister of the Interior (Count Kotchubey,) as also the Counts Wovonzow and Rostapschin. Mouse property has increased greatly in value of late in Paris. The Hotel de la Rochefoucault, in the Suburb St. Germain, which a few years back was bought for 33,000 fr., lately fetched the enormous sum of 1 million and 40,000 francs. A Berlin Journal of the 29th ult. mentions an extraordinary instance of suicide. A labo urer and a servant girl, both belongi ng to t h at C i ty, werc found shot on the hi g h road to Potsdam, near to Gleinecke, on the 14th of the same month. Judging from the contents of a letter left by the former, the inference was, t h at what i s ca ll e d disappointed lo ve ( t h e affections of the y oung woma n being otherwise engaged) had led to the catastr op h e, then himself. 'the man having first shot th e g i r l and The wife of a very rich tailor in Paris lately threw herself out of a window five stories high, in that capital. What was rather remarkable the Lady was in full dress, and the deed was done in the house of a stranger. A young Englishman l a tely drove a g i g f rom Calais to oparis inth eshortspace of 151 hours. One horse was killed on the toad. By this extraordinary feat, it is said, the young gentleman gains a very considerable wager —no less than 100,000 francs, (40001. sterling.) A letter from Zante, dated April 25, states that after great preparations had been made for conveying the body of Lord BYRON to England, Lord SYDNEY OSBORNE, whose opinion on this subject was to decide the conduct of those who Wended to show this respect to the remains of an illustrious man, had expressed in the most po sitive manner his objection to the plan, and a wish, whichin such case became a law, for the interment of the body at Zante. MR. OWEN TO THE BRITISH NATION. On Monday night I made a last appeal to the British Legislature on the subject of the appoint ment of a Committee to examine the measures which I have been for some time preparing to give relief to the Inhabitants of Ireland. The offer was rejected, and my Lord LAUDER DALE added, that the proposal ought to be treat ed with contempt. Fortunately for those, who are now in poverty, in ignorance, and in misery, and no less fortunately for his Lordship and his compeers, his Lordship's wishes are not likely to be gratified. I have a high and important duty to perform for my fellow-creatures, and I deem no efforts which I can make, no cost which I can support, too great, in obtaining the object before me in the most legitimate and best manner. The present Session of Parliament, now about to expire, has been occupied by me in various attempts to ascertain whether the executive Goverment and the Legislature could be induced to enter fairly and honestly on measures that would give to the people the advantages which the late improvements in science, and the rapid advance in general knowledge, ought to afford them ; and I purposely carried these applications to the ut most extent that I thought the Cabinet and Parliament would bear, without my being deemed offensively rude to both. I have likewise at tended the RICARDO Lectures, delivered by Mr. M'CuLLocn, with the view of ascertaining what practical knowledge could be obtained from the theories of the modern Political Economists, which are known to govern the opinions of many, who are considered among the most liberal and enlightened of our Legislators. And I have also mixed freely with individuals, who form part of the great public, to learn whether the governing powers, or the mass of the people, were the more advanced in the acquirements requisite for the general improvement of Society. These inquiries and proceedings have led me to conclude, that no parties are satisfied with what has been done, and is doing ; that a strong con viction exists in the minds of the members of the Legislature and' of the Public, that, with the enormous powers at the command of this empire, Ireland ought not to be in the condition it is, nor the mass of the people in this and in other countries in the ignorance, poverty, and degra dation in which they are; that a very general desire pervades all ranks to adopt some measures for the improvement of Ireland, and of the work ing classes generally; but that in consequence of the previous education of the world confining the attention of each individual to his own imme diat interest, and to his own limited circle, few minds have yet been formed to comprehend the general interests of mankind, and still fewer to acquire the experience by which individual and general interests can be united in practice for the benefit of all. On this account there is a mental and moral dissatisfaction between the Governors and the Governed, an universal agitation in the minds of all, and a general expectation that some great change, some contest between error and truth, between ignorance and intelligence, between despotism and rational liberty, is before us, and is fast approaching. These are the impressions which, according to my ideas, at present pervade the civilized world. What is there now to be done ? What mea sures can relieve from this dilemma ? Has not the Legislature virtually proclaimed its inability to adopt any practical proceedings for an imme diate effectual relief ? Have not Ministers reite rated, in almost every debate in both Houses of Parliament, during this and the last session, that they ardently desire to relieve the inhabitants of Ireland from their sufferings, but that the causes of the evils are of such long standing, and so deep-rooted, that they know not how to remove them ? The truth is, that the Legislature is so in volved in the errors of th e s y s t em by which all these sufferings have been engendered and perpetu ated that they cannot of themselves proceed one step further in ad vance ; an d it i s th roug h th e public voice alone that they can be enabled to move forward in a right direction. The practical measures which can alone relieve Ireland from its ignorance, its poverty, its irritations and its miseries, are to be found in a well digested and comprehensive plan which shall give perpetual advantageous employment to her people, secure them, not a nominal, but a substantial, useful education, and which shall supersede her present violent and uncharitable religions, by one of real charity and genuine kindness. Want of employment, want of education, and want of religious freedom, are the palpable causes of the present state of things. For Government any longer to occupy themselves in useless attempts to discover any other cause of Ireland's degradation and of their own disgrace, is a waste of time and a mockery of the public feelings. All perceive the causes of the evils, but they want sufficient moral courage to express what they know ; it is a remedy for these evils that must be found and applied, before any substantial relief can be ef fected for that country or for society. But can that relief be looked for from Legis lators, who have been trained to speak, bat who are too fettered to act ; or, if not too fettered, are too inexperienced to know how to act under the new circumstances in which society is now placed ? No. The next advance for the benefit of mankind must be effected by a union of in telligent, scientific, and practical men, who, out of the chaos and clashing interests of existing society, shall coolly and dispassionately select the invaluable and inexhaustible materials, which the arts and sciences can now so richly supply, and form a new arrangement of those materials, which shall be purposely devised to create union throughout society, and to secure to each individual the greatest attainable advantages, mental and moral. My experience leads me to know that this is the course which must be pursued ; and, in con sequence, with the aid of several benevolent in dividuals, I have prepared, as a preliminary mea- sure, a new domestic arrangement for the work ing classes, affording them a comfortable resi dence, surrounded by agreeable external circum stances, regular productive employment, a good education from infancy for their children, the means of forming an agreeable society, and of enjoying good health, and the natural bless ings of life; and enabling them, by degrees, to gain independence .for themselves, and to secure it for their offspring, by their own labour. I intended to put the public in possession of these arrangements before the termina tion of the present month, either through the medium of the Report of a Parliamentary Committee, or at public meetings to be called for the purpose ; but I am under the necessity of hastily returning to Scotland to direct my own affairs, and to push forward, before the proper season escapes, the new measures, which are there in progress, to furnish to the world a practical proof of what man is susceptible whe❑ justice is done to him by placing him amidst those circum stances which shall induce rationality, intelli gence, and virtue. As soon as these practical measures shall be advanced to a given point, I well know the willing change which they cannot fail to produce throughout the world ; but I am grieved to see the daily waste of Capital, the misapplication of time and of all the human faculties, and much more, the hourly sufferings which are, in the meantime, experienced from pecuniary and mental distress, the necessary result of the prevalent po pular errors. Urged on, therefore, as I am by these consi derations, I mean to take the earliest oppor tunity of explaining openly to the public what the public may immediately obtain for it self, without injuriously interfering with the interests of individuals or of governments. I wish the public to judge for itself of a Plan which is recommended for their adoption by an experienced practical man, who can have no one view to private interest in the recommenda tion. Ample notice shall be given to the Public of the steps which shall be taken for this important purpose. ROBERT OWEN. Monday being Trinity Monday, the Corpo ration of Trinity House held their Anniversary Meeting, and proceeded in barges to their Hall at Deptford ; there the Right Hon. the Earl of LIVERPOOL was unanimously re-elected Master for the ensuing year; and, after attending Divine . Service at the Church of St. Nicholas, where an excellent Sermon was preached by the Rev. CHARLES SUMNER, A. M., they returned to din ner at the City of London Tavern, where were present many Nobility, Admirals, and Persons of Distinction. In the list of causes to he tried in the Court of King's Bench, after Term, the case of Cox v. KEAN, we perceive is set down. It occupies the 216th place, and is' to be tried by a Special Jury'. At the Surrey Sessions, yesterday, a memorial was presented from Hr. Callaghan, who was convicted, as we stated yesterday, of an assault on the Rev. J. Saurin, and sen tenced to a month's imp r i sonmen t i n florsemonger-lane pray ing that he might he allow e d t o p rov id e hi mse lf with other food than the county allowance, which is bread and water. The Magistrates present, after some consultation, decided that they could not interfere in the case which fell within the jurisdiction of the visiting Justices. AIELANcnoLy ACCIDENT.—The following me lancholy occurrence, which took place within these few dayu, will, we hope, be a serious caution to persons who have occasion to bring poisonous substances into their possession, and where they throw them.--A poor woman, an inhabitant of some of those wynds off Stockwell-street, and one of those wretched WHITE beings who are compelled, from want and misery, to haunt and search the dunghills of this city to pick up from those places waste crumbs and offals to keep soul and body together, chanced to come to one on which she found a parcel containing a small quantity of meal, upon the wrapper . round which was written, TO BE USED AS BEFORE." She took as she conceived the prize home, made part of it into por ridge, eat them, and soon after died in great agony from the effects. Upon investigation it was found that the meal con tained a large quantity of arsenic, and had probably been got for the purpore of killing rats, hut the use of it not having been deemed necessary, the parcel was thrown out into a dunghill in this careless and reprehensible manner. A respectable surgeon, who has some of the meal, informs us that the quantity of arsenic in it is very great._( Glasgow Courier,Junelo.)
