THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts front the Morning Papers, Feb. 4. [MORNING POST.? The labours of theParliameutary Session have comraenced, and the gratifying nature of his lajesty's Speech has, as we anticipated, drawn frOnk both Houses an unanimous expression of corresponding sentiments. But though no amend meats were proposed to the Addresses moved on the occasion, the Marquis of Lansdown in the Lords, and Mr. Brougham in the Commons, ac companied their assent with such observations as iuttuced,the Earl of Liverpool and Mr. Secretary Quitting to enter into brief but triumphant expo sitions of the policy which his Majesty's Govern ment has pursued, and which has led to results so advantageous to the character and prosperity of the country. With respect to the great ques- tion of the formal recognition of South American independence, the following statement, made by Mr. Secretary Canning, will shew that the delay which has taken place may prove the pre cursor of a still greater boon to the eman cipated. Colonies than an earlier but separate re cognition on our part—" His Majesty has declined to engage in any expressions on this subject, that he may remain, unbound by any pledge or contract, at full liberty to take that line which the inte rests of this country may dictate. This is the best course that could be taken for the Colonies themselves; as a greater boon may he offered eventually to them than would be given by our separate recognition now.' Conceded upon Ma ttre deliberation, it would be the more satisfac tory and efficient, and we should stand justified before God and man for the course we had deemed it our duty to pursue. On this subject oar answer has been given to the Court of Spain. It is now on. its way to Madrid, and a time may' probably arrive when Ministers may be more ex plicit." If it were necessary to add any thing to Mr. Secretary Canning's frank and manly ex planation, the best refutation that could be fur nished to Mr. Brougham's censure of ,the neutral policy adopted by his Majesty's Government in the late struggle in Spain, would be the follow ing passage from his speech last night :—" Who, it has been said, cares for France, or a war with her—we have beat her before, and we shall beat her again. So it may be, Sir, and no doubt would be, but it is to be borne in mind that this is to be done only at the cost of one hundred and seventeen millions a year, and the loss of thou sands and thousands of valuable.lives." So said his Majesty's Ministers in. Parifament last year, and upon this wise and humane view they acted in the teeth of Mr. Brougham's denunciations, in not plunging the nation into an expensive and bloody quarrel, with probably half the Powers of Europe. Mr. Secretary Canning also repelled, with great effect, the charges of inconsistency brought against him for his conduct with respect to the Catholic Question. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reply to a question from Mr. Hume, as to whether any taxes were to be taken off, declined giving any information at present, bat announced it to be his intention, in the course cf a few weeks, to bring the finances of the coun try- under the consideration of the House. [THE TIMES.] The Speech recited yesterday by the Royal Commissioners, on opening the Session of ParHa client, had been already so minutely anticipated, that it could hardly be expected to contain much either to excite or satisfy curiosity. It was, in troth, what it had been represented to be : and ilMinisters should feel hurt, or their adherents complain, that the rash and headstrong Press will obtrude -itself into the province of Govern ment, there is but one way of remedying the evil—and that is, by telling a free people more of their own concerns than they themselves, or their friends, are enabled to discover by ordi nary sagacity; and a very slight degree of atten tion to public affairs. It might be conceived that there would always be a certain some thing, which a Sovereign, desirous of ingra tiating himself with his subjects, and yet bound • by external forms and diplomatic usages to wards • foreign Powers, could commu nicate to the former without offending the latter. In this Speech there is no coromunicatiOn of that .description. in fact, there is no communication of any description ; and having perused the pre sent Speech with all the attention of which we are capable, we cannot conceive, if all future productions of this nature are to- be like that of the. year 1324, why the unnecessary form should be ratained. The King's indismition—the ac tivity of commerce, and consequent increase, or, as it is called, growth of the retenue,—the im. provement of farming concerns, and kind regards of foreign Powers, are all circumstances which might have been learned from any weekly, or daily—from any metropolitan, or provincial pa per—for any given period of time now elapsed, as well as from the Speech from the Throne. [NEW TIMES.] Little business was yesterday done in the Money Market, the t+hole anxiety of , the fre quenters* of that. spot being directed to the ob taining accurate information of the King's speech. So much were many of the speculators absorbed in the consideration of this object, that they quitted their ordinary tecupations and proceeded to, Westminster to pfuotire the earliest informa tion. To the circudifance of their absence may be ascribed the trifilag decline which took place in the Consols. Air copy of the Speech had reached the City ti(l lust at the close of business. The coffee-houses were then all thronged with per sons eager for intelligence : and we may truly sap we never recollect a Royal Speech to have given such general satisfaction. Amongst the whole assembled multitude not a voice was raised in censure ; and the general impression seemed to be, that had the Speech reached air Stock Ex change otity' halfun hour before the termination of business for the day, it would have produced a marked rise in the British Funds. As it was, Caniola closed at 904, with every probability of a 'Marked rise today—The business done in the Foreign Market was but trifling: - Thirpremiurn'i on the French Scrip was Si.--Spanish Bonds 'were at 24i, but nothing doing in them.—Co lombian at 658. The chief bustle was in Mexi can Scrip. Many people begin to look more cu riously than heretofore into the changes and chances of that part of the world ; the conse quence was, that for some part of the day a de pression took place ; the Loan, however, rallied, and left off at 51 premium. The other foreign securities were steady. [BRITISH PRESS.] Sunday's Paris Papers, and the Mode of Mon. day, reached us last night. The latter Paper renews the statement of some days back, that the Portuguese Government was preparing an expe dition of 10,000 men for Brazil. With this, of course, we can have no concern ; if Portugal can recover her possessions in the New World by her own proper resources and strength, she has an unquestionable right to do so. It is more than probable that any expedition from Europe has al ready been notified to the treacherous Don Pedro, and that he will endeavour to act in concert with his father's Government. It is another question, where Portugal will find means or troops for such an armament, which is much more easily put on paper than on ship-board. The Greeks are said to have actually attempted Smyrna, and ef fected a landing at Boursa, at the very gates of that city ; violent alarm prevailed, and the Pacha, who could only get together 400 men, invited all the European Consuls to a conference, probably to procure their interposition for the safety of the Turkish inhabitants, had the Greeks been suc cessful. It is not yet known how the daring at tempt ended. • [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We lay before our readers an ample account of yesterday's proceedings in both Houses of Perna ' ment.—No amendment was moved, but Mr. Brougham, in the Commons, and the Marquess of Lansdown and Lord Holland, in the Lords, animadverted on those points in the policy of Ministers which were more peculiarly open to censure. One of the main points to which Mr. Brougham objected was, the course pursued with respect to the invasion of Spain. It would seem that all parties profess the same opi nion with regard to the interference in the affairs of Spain. Mr. Canning, though he doubts whether the Constitut:on was adapted for a Monarchical and Catholic country, yet congra tulated himself, that in re-establishing the system which succeeded it, no British blood had been shed, no ifritish money expended. There was no doubt,' then, in the mind of Mr. Canning, either that the interference was unjustifiable, or that Ls object was to inflict calamity on Spain.—. His doubt was respecting " the degree of sup port which the Constitutional system should re ceive from the affections and habits of the peopl e , and thi; was the very principle on whi c h we abstained from interfering in the war."—. But the questions of our interference in the war, and our interference to prevent a war, are perfectly distinct. Mr. Brougham re minded him of the circumstance, that 44 many were of opinion last year that remonstrance ought to be added to protest, in order to prevent the invasion of Spain by the combined Despots, leagued against the liberties of mankind at large, though then ainung only at the subjugation of a particular country.” We conscientiously believe that if Ministers had remonstrated against the invasion, it never would have taken place ; and we believe, also, that this is the opinion of Ministers themselves. Upon what principle, then, did they not interfere to prevent what they themselve consider a most unjustifiable aggression from taking place ? It was not certainly their duty to plunge the country rashly into a war ; but it was their duty to act in a manner befitting the-rank and character of Great Britain, which, as a Power of the very first order, is peculiarly called ou to prevent, by every means short of compromising the national safety, such a monstrous act as that of the Spanish In vasion. 44 Let us keep in harmony with the Powers of Europe (says Mr. Canning), whether their internal institutions be more or less per fect ; let us move on steadily in our own orbit— not in obedience to any of those Powers, but wholly independent of them—and while we form a part of a great and comprehensive system, let us not look with too scrutinizing an eve into the glory or the magnitude of the other Powers by which we are surrounded. Let it suffice that other Powers strike not against us, and let us keep within our own orbit;—let the light of our example, and not our interference, lead others to a participation of the blessings which we already enjoy." This for a Ministry who profess themselves worshippers of the policy of the man who embarked the country iii the ruin ous war from the effects of which it is now be ginning to recover, and took part in the grand confederacy to restore the Bourbons and the old Regime—is rather a singular language, to say no thing of the precious piece of flummery, of light ing by our example to a love of freedom, Go vernments confederated together for the purpose of extinguishing free Institutions in every coun try, and who, every year and every month, have become more eager to carry that purpose into i execution. [MORNING HERALD.] It seems from a letter signed Carbo, which appeared yesterday in a Morning Paper, that the Common Council Committee, to whom the question was referred as to what could be done for the benefit of the Coal Trade, did nothing.— The Committee merely recommended the ap pointing of twelve more meters. We congratu late the Committee for being so wise as to do nothing. In all matters of trade, we recommend Committees of all descriptions to do nothing; or if they must be doing something, we would sug gest to them to recommend that every thing that had been done for the trade under their consider tion should be undone. That same letter states that good had, already been effected by the agi tation of this question, for that, in consequence of such agitation, the price of coals had fallen ; it is always thus with people who get it into their heads that 'their own ideas are super-excel lent. The fact is, that coalS have fallen its con--. Sequence of the singular mildness of the weather; had the weather been what we have been accus tomed•to experieuce at this time of the year, we should, as in most former years, have seen coals on the rise. The reason why coals so rapidly rose a month or two since, was in consequence of all who could afford it laying in their stocks to supply them for the winter. This laying in, and consequently increased sudden demand, oc curs to a greater or lesser extent every year, and is always attended with the ef fect of a sudden advance in the price ; pre cisely on the same principle that poultry rises or falls in value as the nobility and gentry hap pen to be in or out of London. If any one will but for a moment consider the effect of a consi derable proportion of a million and a half of people taking it more or less into their heads to order coals to last them the winter, he will not wonder at the regular rise which takes place every autumn. We strongly suspect that letters on the subject of coals are written by people who wish for the office of meters, or for some other office by which they may get a comfortable annual sum for doing little or nothing. There is a good deal of this going on in England in order to influence the public, but of which the latter cannot be aware, till the bad effects resulting from such letters are discovered--then the public wonder that they should have been so deceived. It is clear that all that has been hitherto done to regulate this article, either as to the measurement, quality, or any thing else, had no effect. Th e coal mer• chants do just as they please, and will con tinue to do so. The reason to be given' for this is, that the poor and the middling class of the people cannot afford to lose their time in seeing to the measurement or ascertaining the quality of a chaldron or two; and the rich are too indolent or too proud to give them selves any trouble when they order their five or ten chaldrons ; consequeutly all the regu lations pass for nothing, so far as any good arising from them is to be taken into consideration ; but the expence attending all those regulations is charged by the coal-mer chant to the comsumer, and not only the amount of the expence is put on the price of the coals, but the coal merchant charges a profit on such expences, to compensate him for the credit he gives. It is to the interest of people engaged in trade to be honest ; that principle of self-in terest, so far as trade is concerned, is the best regulation. FRENCH PAPERS. [From the Moniteur of Sunday, Feb. I.] SMYRNA, DEC. 12.—Our commerce is still in a languishing state : the consignments to Europe are trifling. This state of stagnation or discou ragement is undoubtedly a natural effect of the news we receive from the principal mark e t s o f France and Ital y. A general hope is entertain e d that the political circumstances and the arrange merits which will follow the full pacific a ti on of Spain, will restore that confidence, without which commerce cannot resume any activity. However, the merchants of this place will be easily con soled for this accidental inaction, if they can ob tain from the Ottoman Government the five mil lions of piastres which, they claim as the amount due to them by the Greek merchants of Selo. — These claims have been long brought forward. — The Porte promises t o pay the creditors of the Rayas, whose property it has confiscated. But ;hitherto the promise has not been fulfilled. The last interviews, however, which have taken place between the several Fact o ri e s a nd th e agents of the Government give reason. to hope that this im portant affair will very soon be decided.—The rights of the claimants are so clear, they are founded on such express guarantees, that there is every reason to hop e the Ottoman Govern ment will accede to the demands which have been made on the subject. This is the third time that the interest. we take in the commerce of this city has induced us to mentio n iu this paper the ob ject of these claims.--We shall return to the sub ject once more, but we hope it will be to an nounce That every thing is arranged to the satis faction of the creditors.—(Oriental Spectator.) [From the Etoik of Monday.] PA rt 2 9, FEB• 1 .-Letters from Lisbon announce that the Portuguese Government is preparing an expedition of 10,000 men for Brazil. News is .impatiently expected .respecting the late attempt of the Greeks on Smyrna. The last number of the Oriental Spectator which has reach ed us says, that the Greeks really effected a land ing at Bouica, which is at the very gate of Smyrna. An alarm immediately spread among the Turks. The Pacha placed himself at the head of 400 men, and went through the chief streets of the city.— Soon after he invited all the European Consuls to a conference, probably to concert with them measures for the common defence. It begins, however, to be believed, that the appearance of the Greeks at Smyrna is merely a feint to cover other projects. So considerable a city is not to be carried by a coup de main. The Gardes de Corps will remain at Madrid till March. Among the seven Spanish Officers who have arrived at Agen as prisoners of war, is Colonel Evariste San Miguel. DUEL—At an early hour on Sunday last, a meeting took place on Blackheath, between VINCENT, Esq. of Demerara, and Lieut. MUSGROVE, formerly of the Hon. the East India Company's service. At the second fire Lieut. M. received his antagonist's ball in the right knee, and fell apparently lifeless ; the wound was dressed by a surgeon who was in attendance on the ground, but from the shattered state of the bone, it is presumed that amputreion will be necessary. Mr. V. was attended by Mr. J. Per cival, and Mr. M. by a brother officer, whose name we could not learn. Mr. Vincent is re ported to have travelled from India for the ex press purpose of meeting the Lieutenant, to avenge the quarrel of his (Mr. V.'s) sister, against whom some unjustifiable aspersions were levelled by Lieut. M. The parties quitted the ground without even an attempt at accommodation being made by any one present. LITERARY NOTICE. SOME ANCIENT CHRISTMAS CAROLS, with the TUNES to which they were formerly sung in the WEST of ENGLAND. Together with two ancient Ballads, a Dialo- Tue, &c. Collected by DAVIES G ILBE R T , F.R.S. F.A.S. he Second Edition. Bvo. The first edition of the Christmas Carols hav ing been so favourably received by the Public, as to call forth a new one, we are happy to find that, during the interval the highly-respectable Editor has not been inactive, but has collected 12 more of these interesting vestiges of " times now passed away, and of religious feelings superseded by others of a different cast." To these Mr. Gilbert has now added some ancient Ballads, &c. They consist of " The Three Sisters ; the Three Knights ; a Dialogue between the Husband-man and the Serving-man ; Account of Joan Saunder son, or the Cushion Dance ; the King shall enjoy his own again ; and the llelston Forey. The tunes both in the treble and in the bass, are printed without alteration from,the existing copies." The Cushion dance, " used to be performed, not only at Christmas, but on all other festive occasions ; and it is said to have .continued in fashion however strange such a fashion may ap pear, to about the time of the Revolution." A contemporary publication noticing this highly-in teresting work says,—" The Editor need not have stopped at this period, for we can assure him the Cushion Dance did not then stop ; but was within a few years, and is perhaps at present, the conclud ing sport of the Christmas banquet in the North of England, though the song was omitted. The custom there was for a gentleman to begin danc ing with the cushion, generally a pillow, which after some time he dropped at the feet of a young lady, and fell on his knees upon it; the lady fol lowed his example, received a kiss ; and, taking up the cushion, danced also, and then dropped it to some gentleman, fell also on her knees, and thus invited him to salute her; this mode was con tinued through the whole of the company."— The following is the account of the Dance given by Mr. Gilbert " The dance is begun by a single person (either man or wo. man), who, taking a cushion in their hand, dances about the room, and at the end of the tune they stop and sing, This dance it will no further go.' The musicians answer, ' I pray you, good Sir, why say you so;'—Man. Because Joan Saun derson will not dame too.'—lifusicians. She must come too, and she shall come too, and she must come whether she will or no.'—Then he lays down the cushion before the woman : on which she kneels, and he kisses her, singing, Welcome, Joan Sanderson, welcome, welcome.' Then she rises, takes up the cushion, and both dance, singing, Princum Prancum is a fine dance, and shall we go dance it once again, and once again, and shall we go dance it once again.' Then making a stop, the woman sings as before, ' This dance it will no further go.' --Musicians. ' I Pray you, good madam, why say you so ?'— w oman. Because John Sanderson will not come too.'-- Mu sicians. 'He must Come too, and he shall come too, and he c in u u sh st io " n n b i e e fore a man, who keeling upon it, salutes her ; she singing,' Welcome, John Sanderson, welcome, welcome.' Then he takes up the cushion, they take hands, and.dance round the room singing as before. And thus they do, till the whole com pany are taken into the ring; and, if there is company enough, make a little ring in its middle, and within that ring set a chair, and lay the cushion in it, and the first man sat in it. Then the cushion i s l a i d before the first man, the woman singing, This dance it w ill no further go ;' and ' as b e f ore, only i nstea d of Come t o ,' they sing, Go fro ;' and instead of Wel come, John S an d erson, they sing Farewell, John Sanderson, farewell, farewell ;' and so they go out one by one ,as they came in. —Note. The women are kissed by all the men in the ring at their coming and going out, and likewise the man by all the women. " The following extract from Seldon's Table Talk is given in Brand',s Popular Antiquities, as republished by Mr. Ellis, 2 vols, 4to, 1813, vol. ii. p. 85:— • The Court of England is much altered. At a solemn danc ing, first you have the grave measures, then the corrontos and the galliards, and this is kept up with ceremony ; at length to French-more (it should be trench more), and the Cushion Dance, and then all the company dance ; lord and groom, lady and kitchen-maid, no distinction. So inour Court in Queen Eli zabeth's time, gravity and state were kept up. In KingJames's time things were pretty well ; but in King Charles's time, there has been nothing but trench-more and the Cushion Dance.' " The Learned Author thus 'notices the intro duction of ballads : " After the time for religious carolling had passed away, and more secular festivities came to assume their turn, ballads constituted a main article in the catalogue of amusements re sorted to by our ancestors ; of these the Editor has partially recollected two, bearing strong marks of antiquity. They have ceased, for many years, either to be recited or sung, yet the notes are £ortuna4ely preserved ; and -if one of them is known in the northern part of the island, it may have suggest. ed a much more finished composition for the Lay of the Last Minstrel." The llelston Forey is considered as a speci men of Celtic music, and is to be heard in Ire land and in Wales, when the people dance round their bonfires, originally kindled in honour of the summer solstice, although now dedicated to St. John. " In Corn wal it is almost peculiar to the town of lielston, where a Forey was annually cele brated up to recent times, with all the panto mime of a predatory excursion into the country, and a triumphant return of the inhabitants danc ing this air. Some shadow of the festival is even still preserved in the more elegant amusements of the Bth of May, but with its nature totally changed, and its name obscured, by a fanciful allusion to Greek or Roman Mythology." We feel confident that the public will duly appreciate the merits of this collection, and join with us in acknowledging our obligations to the learned Member of Bodmin for the rich dish he has set before us ; and we hope that as they " afford ed him in his childhood" delight, " when the, festivities of Christmas Eve were anticipated by many (lays of preparation.,.and prolongett through , several weeks by repetitions and remembrances ;" he will now, in the prime of his intellectual vigour, devote the little leisure which he allows himself from more important duties, in pursuing these interesting researches. It is reported that our naval officers generally have received orders to repair to their respective quarters.—(Atorning . Paper.) From the LONDON GAZETTE, Feb. 3.
