TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts front the Morning Papers, Mug 25. [THE TIMES.) We understand from good authority, that Com missioners have been named by the Portuguese Government for entering on a negociation for an amicable adjustment of the differences with Brazil, and that the conferences on that subject will be held in London. Messrs. Brant and Ga meiro, the Commissioners nominated to act on the part of Brazil, are already here, and also one member of the Portuguese Commission ; the next packet is expected to bring over his coad jutors, when the discussions may forthwith commence. The appointment of Commissioners by the Court of Lisbon is understood to have taken place at a Cabinet Council, held on the sth instant, and it is said that a communication of the result was made by the last packet. Miguel, the second son of the King of Portugal, is believed to be friendly to the accom modation by treaty with Brazil, because he ex pects that one consequence will be, that of secur ing for him the succession to the crown of Portu gal. There is not, it is said, any mediation to be exercised, either by England or any other Power, in the discussions about to take place between the Portuguese and Brazilian Commissioners, but the conferences are to proceed on certain bases already laid down by both Governments. The proceedings in the House of Commons last night, with respect to the Incorporated Com panies of Assurance or Insurance, though but short, are very interesting, and we will add, must prove highly satisfactory to the public. These companies being incorporated, may sue or be sued through their treasurer : but in case of a - verdict obtained, or of claims existing against them, what or whose property is to be answer able for the demand ? The reply now is—the property of all the individuals composing the Company, whose names are to he enrolled at the Stamp-office, and upon any one of whom the plain tiff may fasten for satisfying his demands, in case he think the subscribed funds of the Company in sufficient. Mr. Huskisson promises that no Bill foe a newlnsuranceCompany shall pass the House with out a clause to that effect; and the individuals com posing the nation have certainly a right to ex pect the protection here promised from their Government.—Nothing can be so unjust as for a few persons abounding in wealth, to offer a por tion of their excess for the formation of a corn. pany, to play with that excess—to lend the im -portance of their whole name and credit to the society, and then, should the funds of the incor porated body prove insufficient to answer all de -wands, to retire into the security of their unha 'arded fortune, and leave the bait to be devoured by the poor deceived fish. Mr. Huskisson's pro posed clause will prevent this mischief. It will probably diminish the number of the incipient in surance companies, but it will increase the se curity and respectability of those which shall he established.—(Bid.) [MORNING POST.] The proceedings of the House of Peers last night present another splendid instance of his Majesty's kindly disposition on the one hand and of his determination to do justice to the injured on the other. We stated a considerable time since, that during the Royal visit to Scotland, Petitions had been presented to the King by the descendants of those Noblemen who had rightly lost their titles on account of their oppo sition to the establishment and continuance of his Illustrious House on the throne of this country. We added, that those petitions had been favour ably received, and that, satisfied with the long course of loyalty with which those individuals lad redeemed the errors of their ancestors, his Majesty felt disposed to extend his Royal Grace to them. The Earl of Liverpool last night yeti fed our anticipations by introducing Bills origi nated (es of right) with the Crown, and signed by the King, to restore John Francis Erskine, Esq. to the Earldom of Mar; John Gordon, Esq. to the Earldom of Kenature ; James Drum mond, Esq. to that of Strathall and Perth, and Wm. Nairn, Ebq. to the Barony of Nairn. After slating that these restorations were entirely and exclusively Acts of Grace and favour, and did not in the least impugn the propriety of the original proceedings against the attaioted Lords, the Noble Earl said, that he rejoiced to be able to communicate " an act of justice," tendinc , to remove one of the grea t es t s ti gma s that had ever fallen on the conduct of the Eng lish Parliament in one of the worst periods of our history—the attainder of Lord Stafford. His Majesty had also sent down and signed a Bill to reverse that attainder, and to do justice to a most respectable family, and his Lordship had much pleasure in moving that it be read a first time. The House received these communications - with very great satisfaction, and the Bills went through a first reading instanter. [NEW Es.] The continuance of easterly winds prevents any arrivals from the westward, which are ex more than usual interest from pected now M'it h Lisbon, the Brazils, the coast of Africa, Every day is expected to bring additional w h er e by th intel ligencee from some of these places, latest accounts so much remained doubtful, and might be expected to succeed those events of which we have already received the details.. There were many reports in circulation yes_ terday, in the absence of more authentic intelligence. The near approach settlement, which takes place this day at of t the e Stock Exchange, no doubt a dd e d to the multiplicity of the rumours. One stated that the Kin g o f F rance had been taken seriously ill ; another, that our Ministers had determined on the recognition of the South American States. This report, for which there appeared no other autho rity than a Council having been held on Satur day, obtained some credit, and had the effect of producing an ad tranc e in the prices of South Ame rican Securities.' Colombian - Bonds advanced from 854- to 87 ; the Scrip from 4 to 2 premium; and Mexican from 6! to 71 ; but each was again' slightly lower before the close of basineis. The French Rentes were purchased here at 104. 25.; Austrian and Prussian Bonds also left off at improved prices. —The settlement of the Account occupied the chief attention of the Stock Exchange, and Consols remained at 95i until the close of business, when they were at and for the Account in July 96U. Private letters were received by express, dated from Paris on Saturday evening; they quote the Rentes on that day to have been done at 104 f. 65c. and 80c. for the Account. The recent ob servations of the Lord Chancellor with regard to Joint Stock Companies have had a prejudicial effect upon the value of the shares of many of the new companies; amongst them we notice the Alliance shares, which a day or two ago were at 18+, were yesterday from 154 to 161. ; Pal ladium shares z premium ; Equitable Loan 1 t to 1+ premium. —The old report was again re vived yesterday, of its being in contemplation to reduce the rate of interest payable upon Bank Stock. No material alteration, however, took place in the price. [BRITISH PR ESS.] The Westminster Anniversary Dinner was ce lebrated at the Crown and Anchor Tavern yes terday ; and Sir Francis Burdett, after a seces sion from public life during nearly the whole of the last and present Session, again took the Chair, and, on his health being drank, addressed the crowded room in a speech of considerable length. The Honourable Baronet, from some late allu sions to the circumstance, thought it necessary to account to the electors why his voice had been so seldom heard within the Commons House of late ; and he commenced his address with this difficult explanation :-- 64 It was too much the present fashion," Sir Francis said, " to lavish praises generally on Ministers, for no causes that he could discover, but that after ten years of un interrupted peace the burdens of the people had been considerably reduced, and we had arrived, from a state of alarm and distress, at one of com plete security and increasing national pros perity." In these praises Sir Francis said he could not join; to his feelings the entire was a delusion which he would not support, and for these reasons it was that his" warning voice" had been so long silent of late. The worthy Baronet's explanation, we thought, was rather coldly re ceived, and the assembly around him seemed far from satisfied. The spirit of " exaltation," though it mounted with the kindling glass, and increased as the night waned, has evidently abated among the fiery patriots of Westminster ; even they have become pacific with prosperity ; their leading Representative rose—and sate down—it is true, amid considerable applause ; but we can remem ber the day when every sentence of his was drowned with deafening cheers—when his words were applauded to the very echo before they parted his lips, and his triumphant allusion to Parliamentary Reform, to Annual Parliaments, and Universal Suffrage, was received with shouts that shook the very dome, beneath which his constituents sate in hundreds. Sir Francis rose last night, apparently iu perfect health, but evi dently changed in tone and spirit. His appear ance created anxious and general attention. We heard at once the whisper round 11A, whether, under existing circumstances, he would adhere to his former principles of sweeping Parliamen tary Reform. " He then prepar'd " To speak—whereat their doubled ranks they bend From wing to wing, and half inclose him round ; Attention held them mute." All doubt, however, .was soon removed. Sir Francis said not a word in praise of the past system ; he abandoned it altogether. In its place, he recommended Mr. Lambton's plan of a Session or two since, embracing the right of suf frage by all householders—voting by districts in one day—and triennial Parliaments. This mode of reform, so everyway preferable to that of other' days, Sir Francis urged warmly on the assembly ; and, such is the change of feeling, he was heard with attention, and the applause and approbation were general throughout the room. The Greek de puties to this country were invited to the dinner, and their presence created the greatest interest. Every allusion to the sacred cause with which they are connected, was received with thunders of applause. The general attendance was nothing near so full or respectable as on former occasions that we remember ; but the anniversary will be memorable from the altered feeling that marked it. We shall probably hear of annual Parliaments and universal suffrage no more : this visionary theory has expired with the difficulties that gave it birth, and will now descend quietly to the " tomb of all the Capulets." [MORNING HERALD.] Saturday's Paris Papers arrived last night. They are wholly taken up with the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the eligibility of M. Benjamin Constant. It excited great interest. The speeches, however, turn exclusively upon constructions of law, and have little interest for foreign readers. One word used by M. Piet, an advocate, excited some merriment. lie be gan a sentence solemnly with the words " Jo liens pour Constant"—(l hold it for certain), and the ambiguity of the last term, which might bear the meaning of his 44 holding out for M. Constant," contrasted whimsically with the tenor of his speech, which was strongly against him. The debate was adjourned to the follow ing day. Party spirit runs so high, and the party of the Ultras is so strong, that M. Constant will probably be excluded, notwithstanding the report of the Commission in his favour, and the injustice and indecency of the case. There is no foreign intelligence in these papers, with the exception of what is repeated or derived from the Eng lish papers. The Electors of Westminster last night cele brated their Seventeenth Anniversary. Lord Nugent, Messrs. Lamhton, Sir R. Wilson, Holly wood, Sykes, Sir R. Heron, Hume, and John son, all Members of Parliament, were present. The principal part of Sir - Francis Burdett's speech was a justification of his absence; from Parliament, on the ground that it rather did mischief to countenance the humbug of the House of Commons; yet Messrs. Sir R. Heron,' Hume, Sykes, and others, left the Meeting be fore their healths could be drank, for the sake of attending to business in the House of Com- . mons. Mr. Hume's was the only health drank after he was gone; and Sir Francis Burdett found it necessary to qualify that toast by saying he was an experiment upon what an unreformed Parliament could do. The meeting was numer ous. Mr. Hardy, who was the first tried for high treason in 1794, when Mr. Attorney-Ge neral Scott (Dow Earl of Eldon, and Lord High Chancellor of England), and Mr. Solicitor-Ge neral Mitford (now Lord Redesdale), were Counsel for the prosecution ; and Mr. Erskine (late Lord Erskine) and 11r. Gibbs (late Sir Vicary Gibbs) were Counsel for the prisoners,— was present. It is known that Mr. John Horne Tooke was the next tried and acquitted, and that the importance of the trial almost wholly centres in his literary superiority.—(lbid.) [MORNIN6 VIIRONICLE.] Consols for the settlement opened yesterday at 95, and as the Account has proved to be a heavy Bull Account, that is, as the speculators on an advance have purchased for time more Stock than their resources 'enable them to pay for, they consequently are obliged to resell that portion which they cannot receive. Of this cir cumstance the Bears naturally avail themselves, and they demand a continuation for the next Ac count, on the 16th July, far above what the inte rest of money would justify ; Consols, therefore, fella per cent., whilst the continuations rose from 1-16th to 5-Bth per cent. This effect, however, can only be of short duration, for either the money price of Stock must advance, or the time pries must decline. It is now reported that the dissentients from the reduction of the Old Fours only possess four millions in place of seven millions of this Stock; and when it is considered that a large amount of these four millions consists of Stock which probably will never be claimed at all, the pay ment of the sum demanded in October next will not be of much consequence. It is also reported that the Bank of England will be obliged to re duce their half-yearly dividends to three per cent., because they cannot find commercial bills for discount at more than three per cent, per annum. ' The fact is, capital is daily becoming more abundant, and the interest to be derived from it in a proportionate degree declines. On the Foreign Stock Exchange a great deal of busi ness was done yesterday, particularly in Ameri can Securities. The conduct of the British Go vernment towards the new Republics is • watched with intense interest, for even a rumour that they were soon to be acknowledged independent, caused their national securities to advance fully one per cent. The manufacturing dis tricts have at length determined to petition the Ministers on this subject, so necessary to the existence of their prosperity, and the Chamber of Commerce in Liverpool has taken the lead, and sent a requisition to the Mayor for a general meeting of all the inhabitants interested in Acne-' actin Trade. Manchester and Leeds are about to follow the very proper example of Liverpool, for it is unjust, both to Aroqrica and to the British Em pire, that the absurd claims of the Beloved Ferdi nand should be permitted any longer to interfere with the interests of civilized society. During the present state of uncertainty all commercial enter prize is suspended, and neither merchant nor ma nufacturer will know how to act until his Ma jesty's Ministers either admit the sovereignty of the new American States, or candidly declare, like the beloved Ferdinand, that they are the lawful and unalienable property of the Peninsula. It is, however, generally stated that Lord Elliot did not bring from Madrid an absolute refusal on the part of his Most Catholic Majesty to recog nize the freedom of his former Colonies, for that further advises from America were necessary to regulate the future conduct of Spain, the intelli gence received there not entirely corresponding with that received in the United Kingdom. This is the rumour of the day. ACCIDENT TO THE. DUKE OF RUTLAND'S CAR RIAGE.—An accident occurred to his Grace the Duke of RUTLAND'S travelling coach, on Wed nesday, May 19, occasioned by the Stamford Stages.—About a mile from Biggleswade, two coaches had stopt on the road to change coach men, when, as the one belonging to the up-coach was in the act of mounting his box, one of the leaders began kicking, and turning suddenly round, darted in between the horses of his Grace's carriage, and the traces getting entangled with the roller bolt of the splinter-bar, drew his Grace's carriage so far round, as to lock the wheels and completely upset it. The Ladies behaved, with the greatest fortitude apon the oc casion, and fortunately received no injury. The servants also upon the box, who were thrown off with great violence, escaped with a few bruises only. No blame whatever could be attached to the post-boys driving his Grace's carriage, as the coach was standing quite still at the time they were passing, and they were only going a regular pace. The screams of those who witnessed the accident were dreadful. The pole of the car riage was broken, and it was otherwise much injured ; but after an hour's delay upon the ground, they were enabled to proceed to town in it, and arrived in Arlington-street the same evening. INQUEST ON THE BODY OF Sin H. C. THOMSON. —Yesterday an I nques t was taken before HENRY LE PIPRE, Esq. Acting Coroner, on the body of Sir Henry Clement Thomson, late adied suddenlyPostCaptain in oo t s h o e to ß rd oy oy al l N ast a : y in , a t g h e e d K 47, who Kings Bench Prison, in which he had been confined about three weeks. After an examination into the circumstances of the deceased, it was thought necessary that a me dical man should examine the body, and Mr. Goulding, a surgeon, having done so, was of opinion that the deceased had died from apo plexy.—The Jury unanimously returned a ver dict of—The deceased died by the visitation of God. After some conversation, a statement of the necessity for a medical man to attend on the persons confined in the King's . Bench Prison was drawn up by the Coroner, and signed by the Jury, and 'directed to the Marshal. PURITY OF ELECTION. The Seventeenth Anniversary of the Triumph ' of Westminster was celebrated yesterday by a dinner at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, SirF.BURDETT in the Chair. The lion. Baronet was supported on his right by Mr. Hobhouse, and on his left by Lord Nugent. The two Greek Deputies at tended the Meeting, one of whom being attired in the costume of his country, excited a good deal of interest. After the usual toasts were given, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT expressed his gratitude for the very flattering manner in which his constituents had done him the ho nour to drink his health. After so long a connection with them, it showed that they still extended to him the same indulgence for his conduct with which they had honoured him under very different circumstances in times of great danger and public trouble. The people were now in a state of ease and compara tive security, but still they met him with their accustomed kindness. His friend Mr. Adams, in proposing his health, had alluded to his absence from Parliament this Session, and observed that after so long a term of service, he (Sir Francis Burdett) was entitled to some little relaxation. But he could assure them he claimed no relaxation from his duties to the people and his constituents, and if he had thought be could have served them by attending in the House of Commons, they would always have found him at his post. He was persuaded, however, that his attendance there would not have been conducive to the public welfare ; or they would have found him in his place as they had done in more difficult times. In his opinion, un remitting attention in that House, so far from benefitting the public, was calculated to do them great mischief, in asmuch as it had a tendency to keep up the farce, by diverting the attention of the people from that one great object, in com parison with which all others were of minor importance—Par liamentary Reform.—(Loud applause.)—For his part he would say that lie was inclined to consider the partial alleviations which had been conferred upon the people rather as public evils than public benefits. It was a question whether it would not be better for the yoke to hang heavy on our necks, than that it should be made light and easy to be borne.—(Hear, hear !) The subject of Reform was one which had been so clearly and ably elucidated, he might say, by all the great men that had flourished for the last century, that it appeared utterly useless for them to say any thing respecting it upon the present occa. sion. He, however, would make a few remarks upon that all-important cause, because the oligarchy ought to know that the people feel interested in that great object, on the attain. ment of which depends the constitutional liberty of England. —(Loud applause.)—To have checks the Executive Govern ment was to be free ; not to have checks upon the Government was to be enslaved—so said the Constitution of England. It is laid down in the books, that the Constitution is a system of 'becks. Blackstone, though in his own times lie was considered a courtier, is now looked upon, for advocating these principles, as a Jacobin. He tells us that laws are binding only because every free agent, either by himself or his Representative, is supposed to have given his assent to them. Those that are free must put a bridle upon those who govern them ; for unless a people make their governor wear bridles, their governor will make them wear chains.—(Applause.)—When a Government make their own rules for the direction of their own conduct, the people must be slaves. But in England the liberties of the nation are destroyed in the name and through the instrumen tality of its sham Representatives.—(Applause.)—To see what strides despotism had made, it was only necessary to look into the Statute Book. The words of the great Lord Burleigh might be there found realized, when he said that the liberty of England could only be destroyed by the Parliament. He alluded to the six Acts which the Minister still suffered to remain unrepealed. Nevertheless liberty is yet cherished in England, and notwithstanding the Alien Act, which he called the Participation Act in the deeds of the Holy Alliance, fo reigners resorted to our shores as a refuge fro m d espot i sm.— (Applause.)—But it is said this odious law is continued in tbrce to prevent foreigners, now in England, from the overthrow of their own Governments. Now supposing this was the case, he should like to know what Englishmen had to do with it.-- Formerly England had acted as the friend of the liberties of the weak against the aggressions of the strong; but latterly she had incurred a debt of eight millions for the purpose of restoring to his throne a King, who now treated the people who had made this great sacrifice with deserved contempt.—(Hear, hear !)_ The people of England had, however, most nobly cleared them selves front the guilt of their Government. He had in his eye two illustrious natives of a country, whose name recalled to the recollection the greatest actions that ever adorned the annals of freedom. But it was impossible to think of Greece, without thinking upon the name of Byron.—(Loud applause.)—That great and mighty genius, in whom was comprehended all that was stupendous in intellect, all that was sublime in poetry, and all that was daring in patriotism, was now, alas, no more ! The lion. Baronet, after some further remarks on the death of Lord Byron, the cause of Greece, and the conduct of England in suf fering the subjugation of Italy and Spain, said, that he was not able to keep pace with the f ee li ngs o f th e ti mes , which i seemed to flow n one stream of panegyric upon the present Ministers. It would be recollected, that if they had repealed taxes, it was they who had first unnecessarily imposed them. But the people, he trusted, would, notwithstanding their apparent apathy, petition for a Reform in Parliament, upon the principle cf his Hon. Friend Mr. Lambton. He (Sir Francis Burdett) had once brought forward a motion upon what he should ever consider irrefutable principle—namely, those of universal suffrage and annual Parliaments. He thought however, that it would be good policy to ask for less, and agree to petition for household suffrage and triennial Parliaments.—' The Hon. Baronet then alluded to the County Courts Bill, the principal objection to which was its throwing into the hands of Ministers the power of tempting the integrity of the Bar. He saw around him nine members of that prpfession, and he was glad to say, that notwithstanding individual instances of cor ruption, he believed there never was time in which the Bar of England could present more striking instance s of v i r t ue , o f pa- I triotisen, and of brilliant commanding talents. The Hon. Ba ronet concluded an eloquent speech, by observing that he was ' convinced the electors of Westminster would not be backward in demanding that Reform which could alone secure to the peo ple of England a free Government--a Government which should not possess the power of raising taxes to put' down liberty both at home and abroad.—(Loud and continued ap probation.) Mr. LA3IIITON said he had to propose the health of a man of whom he should only say, that he was worthy to be the friend of Sir Francis Burdett and the Representative of the City of 'Westminster. He, of course, alluded to John Cam Hobhouse, Esq.—(Loud applause.) Mr. liwmousE returned thanks in a very able and elo quent speech. lie said that what his Honourable Colleague said was so true, that it was unnecessary for him to take up their time with many remarks. There was in human nature something which rendered them less capable to bear prosperity than adversity. But how foolish would it be in the husband man to neglect to cultivate his soil, because he had bad a fa vourable season and a good crop. The people of England were mistaken if they saw now nothing to call forth their exertions. They had still something to contend for, and always would have till the House of Commons was reformed. It was impossible that a Government should never do good, but what was wanted was the power of preventing them from ever doing ill. But lie had no doubt that they should still find the people of England as earliest as ever in the good cause. Though they had wit nessed the fall of Spain, there was no cause to despair. Li berty had taken root in Greece ; and though a great misfortune had befallen that country in the death of Lord Byron—a topic his feelings would scarcely permit him to advert to, yet he trusted that melancholy occurrence would lead them to show to the world that they could profit by his glorious example—(Great applause.)--He had no fears for Greece, though there appeared a fatality attend a nt u p on th e e ff orts o f the friends of liberty in all parts of Europe. To the cause of liberty he, however, should always remain attached under all circumstances. He had no interest in any other cause; and if he had, the praise and glory which ever attended the persever ing advocate of freedom would be amply sufficient to over balance it.--(Loud applause.) Lord NUGENT then proposed the health of the Greek De puties, Messrs. Orlando and Lauriottis ; and independence to their country. The DErunEs returned thanks in a Greek speech, which was thus translated by Mr. Hohhouse :—" Gentlemen, we cannot sufficiently testify to you the joy and gratitude which we feel in seeing the sympathy which a nation so great as yours has evincsd in behalf of the regeneration of our countrymen, who have for so many ages been the slaves of a barbarous and unbelieving nation. We were certain, at the beginning of our struggle, that every generous and Christian mind would be in terested in our favour. Accept then, Gentlemen, in the name of Greece—accept our most lively thanks, and continue, we pray you, all your efforts in our favour." Sir Film cis By RDETT proposed the immortal memory of a man (Lord Byron), who, in the words of the great bard, was "as open as day to melting charity." The Hon. Baronet r p a r e o t n e r o u o n f c o d a r c n i l ßy o r g o u u e t n t w and o p h a e t h e d t e i ul s c g e ua o m t e g d i u as upon the s a t v h i o e ch ur o a- f Greece. The toast was drank in solemn silence. On the healths of Mr. Lambton, Lord Nugent, and Sir Robert Wilson being drank, they severally addressed the meet ing in able speeches. The next toast was—" Mr. Honywood, and the Reformers of Kent." Colonel Johnson and the Reformers of Boston was then drank, when Colonel JOHNSON, after thanking the Meeting for the hononr-they had done him, expressed his surprise that the men of Westminster should quietly permit a barracks W be built in the very centre of their city. He alluded to the one which OS about to be erected to gratify the Duke of York, on the site of the King's Mews. The healths of Messrs. Hume, Whitbread, Wood, an d Hutchinson, who had left the Meeting to attend their parliamen tary duties, were then drank. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said he had but one more toast to give, and that was-- ,4 The Independent Members of the Bar of England." Mr. PRIME, of Cambridge, returned thanks on behalf of himself and his brethren, in a very appropriate speech, in which he commented in strong terms on the conduct ;of Mini sters in promoting Puisne Judges to Chief Justiceships, and thereby holding out an inducement to them to act with par' tiality upon all those political trials in which the Governmen t was interested. A few other toasts having been drank, Sir F. Burdett left the chair, and the company soon after broke up. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
