THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Nov. 6. [NEW TI MES .] An express was - received yesterday from Paris, with letters and paperS to Wednesday evening, on which day the RenteS closed at nearly the prices of the day preceding, viz. 102. 45. for mo tley, and 102. 60. for Account. There was no political intelligence of the smallest Moment..H The French JOurna Is at present are, less ink-, resting in this respect than they were even dur ing the Censorship. 'The stagnation of news is doubtless in a great measure owing to the ge neral tranquillity which pervades the country affording neither occasions for asperity, nor 'objects - of alarm—at least of a political na ture. Some religious' disputes, indeed, are on foot. The Etoile charges the Members of the Society of Christian Morality with Deism ; the Members• reply by. calling the writers in the Ebb Jesuits._ This mutual intolerance affords httte matter that can interest any of our Readers. The popularity of the new King appears to be undiminished : every' day produces some fresh compliment to him, and ingenuity is taxed to devise new forms of eulogy.. AMong these we may distinguish a sort of anagram on his name and titles— . "Sera cheri, craint, ador4, Merida." But this is not a very successful attempt at the species of literary ingenuity to which it heloneu; for it comprises only twentp•seven letters out of thirtY•two ; Charles Dix, aoi de 'France et de Navarre." It is believed that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer intends shortly to pay off a certain por tion of the outstanding Exchequer Bills. The whole amount of these Securities at present is 34 millions, of which four millions it is said arc to be reduced. A report to this effect was very confidently circulated yesterday, and produced a favourable impression on the Funds, Consols having advanced to 964 for the account, at which they closed. The plesent premium on Exchequer Bills is from 545. to 569.—(1bid.) ['rUE PUBLIC LUDGCII.] The report of a Congress on the affairs of Greece gains ground. It is to meet, it is said, early in the ensuing spring, and that li.ingland is to have a Itepresentative there. We have no doubt of the anxious desire of the Holy Alliance to take thut country.under their protection ; but we are not aware of any inducement which the Government of this country can have to bedome a party to proceedings which are at direct vari ance with the spirit of our institutions, and in deed with Our interests as a nation. It is now pretty well known what the protection of a mo dern Congress means ; and it is no secret how po litical troubles are allayed, when such Physi cians as Alexander and Francis undertake the cure. Naples is one instance of their consummate skill, and Spain is another. Should Greece be compelled to take their prescriptions, the results would be precisely the same as io the two former cases : her troubles, it is true, would cease ; but all signs of life would vanish at the same time, and her repose would be that of the dead. We should, there fore, consider it a libel upon the British Go vernment to say that it would be a party to a scheme, of which we have described, rather tamely, the effects. To be consistent, the Holy Alliance must make the sovereign rights of the Grand Seignor the key.stone of their decision, and insist on the return of the Greeks, under his mild sway, as a fundamental article in any ar r,angernent for reconciling 'them to their former masters. Rumour has always stated too, that the high Potentates, who have so gratuitously undertaken to become the Conservators of the peace of Europe, have made up their minds as to the absolute necessity of these two points. If the Greeks 'readily comply, a mitigation of the former tyranny is to be the boon ; and they are to be raised, perhaps, to the envi able condition of the Moldaviani and %Val" lachians. However, this admirable scheme has hitherto encountered opposition in u quar ter where it assumes an appearance of ingra titude, on account of the tender care that is taken of its interests. But Turkish Statesmen are not very tractable people 'to deal with', and they cannot persuade themselves that it would become the Sublime Porte to be diztated to by Christian Powers, in a dispute with its own sub jects. If it were not for this stumbling-block in their way, the Holy Alliance would, in all pro bability, have proceeded before now to extin guish the firebrand 'which some " heated vision aries have lighted lu the East." ,In this way they have repeatedly characterized the Greek insurrection, and never have they once hinted that oppression was the cause of that people taking up arms. From this contemptuous lan guage, the fate of the Greeks might be easily as certained, were the Holy Alliance to have the management of their affairs; but the obstinacy of the Porte, were no other opposition to arise, would prove an insurmountable bar to their in terference. Therefore the Congress may he, after all, an idle rumour; but of this we have not the slightest doubt, as far as England is con cerned. [MORNING POST.] An objection is taken to the printing and cit. (Mating of the Scriptures in the Irish language sod character by the Bible Society. The argu '"l'llis against, the practice certainly are at first higlut specious, if the premises on which they are founded be admitted. But we are not quite sure thut the Irish language is so little cultivated gra matically, that is, so little read, as the writer we, allude to -Ast.ria; and, secondly, were such the case, still it might be expedient, for various rea sons, to print and distribute Bibles in that tongue.. With respect to the f ormer , we i mag i ne those pious persons who take the trouble of dis seminating the will of the Mast High in the nu-, tine di a l e ct of the Irish, are much more competent peopl e qualifiid to th us judges of the number of peruse the Scripture, than any good easy gentle. man who sits through the year at a 'writing : desk in London, enlightening the public, de. (minibus rebus et 4liibusdani alas. Surely, then, it is "fit ting that what number of Irish bibles it is so as certained may be disposed of tuadvantage,should be. supplied. In the next place, although it be extremely desirable that the English language shobld be generally used throughout Ireland, we think, for the sake of literature, if nothing else, that:the - vernacular idiom of' the aborigindinha bitants should be 'preserved, and scientifically taught and- sttidied. IVill not the .distribu tion of the Old and New Testament in that language, materially tend to produce this effect ? The Irish is.;spoken by three-fourths of the people, and to. teach those to read it, and then read the Bible, must, we consider, be at' least as easy a task as to teach then) English, about which. they know next to nothing. Upon 'the whole it seems to 'us that the printing and circulating of the Scriptures in Irish ,can do no possible - harm, but, on the contrary, may, in a temporal, as well as eternal point of view, effect much good, and therefore- we wish the under taking to proceed and prosper. • [MORNING CHRONICLE. j 'The Times, like Messrs. Marsh,. Stracey, and Graham, has determined not to satisfy the public longing too soon. If we understand uright..an article in that Paper of yesterday (it is somewhat obscure), it still believes its statement to contain .only the truth.. " We are content, it says, to wait till the temporary fever has abated, and till the truth of the facts shall vindicate the honesty of our motives." This declaration will of course have a material inflUence on public opinion.— , We are rather astonished that it should be so ignorant of the importance that will neces sarily be attached to such a declaration, as to remark almost immediately afterwards, " We will not suffer the intemperance of • self-called friends to provoke us to say one word which may weaken, the effect of the eloquent appeal of a man struggling fOr his life." Not weaken ! I.Vl►at, that statement, if true, not weaken his appeal ! Knowing too that Mr. Fauntleroy's statement, - which is directly at variance with its statement, is, of course, devoid of truth, we won der it could express 6 a most earnest Wish that the Privy Council will not decide on the case of Mr. Fauntleroy without calling upon his partners to state on oath whether his accusations against them be well or ill founded." To call upon a man to swear to 'a statement known to be false, is little better than swearing falsely one's self.— ' Oh ) fie—where is . morality ? [BRITISH PRESS.] We had intended to have offered some remarks in our Paper of to-day, on the leading article of The Times of yesterday, on the subject of " the outcry" which they complain is now raised against them, " because they do not come for ward to reply to the challenge of persons who fancy themselves to be friends of Mr. Fauntle roy ;" but as we mean not only to expose the sub terfuge and double-dealing by which this Journal is endeavouring to escape from the deep responsi bility it has incurred by the false accusa tions it has sent abroad against this unfortunate individual, and as the so doing will lead us into a discussion of greater length thau either our time or space will this day allow, we shall postpone the task till Monday. The letter signed " W.," in our paper of yesterday, contained cer tain home-questions, which we challenge the partners of Mr. Fauntleroy to answer, and while these facts remain uncontradicted, it is in vain for them to request the public to suspend its judg meta tilt the 18th of December ; the truth flashes too strongly in the face of every wan to permit him to resist the conclusions to which they lead ; the public cannot suspend its judgment, so long us the specific charges which those questions involve stand against them mare fitted. We will not suffer the Times to divert the attention of the public, as it is now anxiously striving to do, from the leading points to which— and to which alone--it ought to be directed.— Let it either verify the imputations, it has so pub licly cast on the private character of Mr. Faunt leroy, or as publicly withdrawn them. There is no other alternative that in honour or in justice is open to it. As we shall return to the subject so soon, with this suggestion we shall, for the pre sent, leave lt. E'rli I: TIMES.] A rumour was spread in the city yesterday, which we should think improbable ; but which, nevertheless, obtained some belief from persons well acquainted with the affairs of Spain. The rumour was to this effect—that the French, finding it impossible to instil any thing like a li beral policy into the Mind of Ferdinand, or to obtain his formal consent to a Constitution with proper checks and, balances, were endea vouring to prevail upon him to resign the crown in favour of his - brother Don Carlos.— For Our own parts, 016110 we are convinced that no good would result from such a measure towards tranquillizing the Peninsula, yet we should' not , be sorry that the French should adopt it. It would show to the world the de pendent condition of Spain : for what clearer act ofsovereignty can one state exercise over another, than that of changing its reigning King at will This would be ala Butonaparte. The invaders, having entered the country under the pretence of supporting the legitimate Monarch against his rebellions subjects, and by deposing this self same Mr. Legitimate, and putting up his brother in stead : that is, they impose their own satraps at pleasure. And then, what benefit, we ask, is to arise from the new sovereign ?-7 Ask what good Don dado's can *do Just as much as Don Fernando! From every thing we have heard, the younger brother is not one tittle more enlightened, more liberal, or more humane than the elder. But we Would seriously ask the Fiench, or rather their governors, this one 'question—vii , whether their inability to settle th 4 concert 4 of Spaiit does not prove that they have no business there ? They have - how been in - that country for nearly two, years : the object o f their visit, as they assured the world, was au atilr that would be settled 44 in no time :" It was only to li berate the King from a small party that liad got possession of his ungainly person, and restore him to the wishes of his people. .For that purpose 44 the son of our love" was sent into the Peninsula, which country he has quitted ',very much in the manner of Buonaparte, leaving ten times greater confusion behind him than he found on entering. Let the French, then, we say, march out of the Peninsula : let them bar their own kingdom against the entrance of single Spaniard : let other nations then, also, if they please, in due time and with proper' pre cautions, cast back the Spanish refugees upon their native soil, and let Spaniards fight out or negociate their own quarrels among themselVes. They will sooner come to a solid concluSion of their troubles, than if all the nations of Europe were to interfere (which none has a right to do) upon the pretence of pacifying Spain. [MORNING HERA LD.I In consequence, we suppose, of the effect which some statement in Mr. Female roy's address to the Jury have had upon the public, his,part ners have thought proper to insert an advertise ment in the papers, requesting " the public to suspend their judgment as to them, until they shall have passed their examination, upon oath, before the Commissioners, which will take place on the 18th of December." Now, with great submission to these gentlemen and their legal advisers, with whose privily, we presume, this advertisement has been inserted, we beg leave to say that nothing can be more unsatisfactory or out of place than such a request as this.— There are some situations in which it is said if people hesitate they are lost ; and this seems to us to be one of. them. If the public have any thing to do with the matter, which this appeal to them assumes that they have, then we contend that the delay required is altogether unneces sary, and may be most fatal and injurious to the person to whom the promised explanation must principally relate. To postpone that information to a period when the law may have taken its course with regard to that individual, would, in that respect, render it a nullity ; and to assume that it is any way connected with the examina tion before the Commissioners of Bankrupt is, we humbly conceive, altogether a delusion. The final examination of bankrupts before the Corn. .missioners, is, we believe, little more than a formal detail of their affairs, generally reduced into writing previously by the solicitor to the commission. The creditors, it is true, may, at the same time, ask any questions they plepe, Thee. world and the bankrupts' answers, are taken down as part of their examination ; but still the whole is more in the nature of a private than a public document ; and in no respect one which ever goes forth to the world at If these gentlemen were to say at once, at large have nothing to do with our concerns—it is sufficient for us if we satisfy our creditors and the Commissioners," we should understand them. But if they appeal to the that the ground upon w hi c h tune is altogether unten a bl e . M r . they public, ask then far we say Fauntleroy has said in his defence, that the frauds which he is charged with having com mitted were for the benefit of his partners; and the world, we presume, infer that, as the mat= ter now stands, the partners were hound to in. quire and to know whence the funds came with which he is said to have SO. lung sustained the tottering credit of the house. The partners would have us believe (if we will take it for granted) that they can contradict this. But then they say, " give us till t h e 18th December todoso.(" We say, " N o . Public justice demands and it is intitled to demand any thing) that if you can do this at all, you sh ou ld do it at once. Truth and honour require no d e l a y or concealment. Your account with your creditors is one thing ;--fors that you have got till the 18th, of December to prepare your formal statements ; but when the life of a fellow-creature may depend—when your own moral character may depend upon what you can say in answer to what he has asserted, not a moment should be lost in doing that, the doing of which is of such infinite importance both to him and to yourselves—and which cannot in any way prejudice the account you have to render under your commission."- - 'This is the way in which the matter strikes us ; and it is a subject which occupies the thoughts and conversation of half the world, we think it due to all parties to express this opinion. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. (From the Liverpool Courier, Nov. 3.) THE Wtitos.--We made no remarks upon the speeches at the late dinner of the Cheshire Whigs, for they formed so obvious a comment upon the assumption of " all the tulente," that they needed none of ours to point out their en tire destitution of all eloquence, wit, and logic. More vapid, slipslop feebleness we have never seen, and the members must have had a most contemptible opinion of the under standings of the public, on whose minds it was intended ihat this Meeting should make a great impression, to stoppage that the wine-warm : hiccupping or their political common-places could produce any thing but a weary yawn, or a contemptu ous sneer. Disaentionm, it was evident from the dinner exhibition, existed among them. In the true spirit of their free and easy system,. one had made a *duration of his own opinion, and published it as the opinion of the rest, think ing it, no doubt, a part his own politicalfr e edont to make free with the names and p o li t i ca l reputation of his fellow-club blata. They do not appear to have reliahed this sort of liberty; but yet, to save appearances, pass an act of indemnity as to the culprits. To some the Cheshire plan of referm went tot) far ; ' others dissented from the declaration, as too' radical ; others thought it good, as far es it went ; so far they were willing to go with it, but declared themselves both willing and anxious to go 'much further, though how much, whether as far into mazes of political metaphysics as the candle of' Jeremy Bentham would lead them, or as far in political uproar and overturn as the anarchical torches of Hunt and Cobbet might light the way to, we were not informed.' To those dissentions another has retreat from the purlie us o f w hi gg i sm , or , been added, and th e h ouse of Eaton appears . to b e b ea ti ng a at least, of the wing of the Cheshire Club. We inserted the letter of Lord ii.elgrave to the Secretary ; in which his Lordship professes not to be " a sanguine reformer," and thinks " a recurrence to triennial parliamen La one of the most, doubtful experiments:" he further objects to " ab st r act d ec l a r a ti o ns Of opinion ;" an d then makes his .by felli ng them, that he hopes they may agree at length upon so me " pract i ca l S ystem of reform." Vire know not what thesedissentions may teach the IVlligs ; but this, at least, they will teach the public, that, until they agree better upon what is to tie done with 'this supposed sick and infirm con.. will cot trust them with it. Whilst o ne another for trying the modern exp er i. mein of injectiag the . lood of i s s t it f u o t r i p eo n p oi copious u theirs, bleeding et ' i t i h n e g y t some animal, say of a calf, in to the languid veins ; a' third for amputating a kg ; and some des perste reformer hints that even the head is a useless encum. I b ra nee, we may at least say, " Gentlemen, first make up your own minis as to the mode ortreatmeot,:and then we will judge of it ; but we must be excused from t a kin g a le a p in the d ar k." We do not know whether it was intended by his'Lordship or not, but a more severely sarcastic note could scarcely hive b6n written. His Lordship is not a " sanguine reformer ;" he very prudently, • therefore,' withdraws from • his hot-headed neighbours. • He thinks triennial Parliaments would be one of the most doubtful experiments. Of course, the advocates for annual Parliaments in the club arc tacitly branded as men advocating not a doubtful experiment, but one so cer tain in its result, that it becomes a point of character to get out of their society. But the parting bite is the most severe : his Lordship objects to " abstract declarations of opinion," and wishes that the club may sober down to some practical view of the subject of reform ;. but here his Lord ship pushes at the very soul and being of modern Whigs, and he tells them, what is indeed very true, that they are made up of abstractions and such like intangible and cloudy vapours; that they are a sort of political spectres and hobgob lins, whose airy company he must now quit in search of sub stantial and practical men. His Lordship wishes them also to become practical in their schemes ; but this is rather jeeringly to demand that they should annihilate themselves for what is left to a reformer, in the present day, but his abstractions ? He builds up his abstract constitution; and all the matter which is left for his thoughts, his speeches, and his pamphlets, is the dis crepancy whiCh exists bet Ween the constitution as it is, and the constitution as it ought to be. Formerly he might assume some thing of a practical air, and tell us bow reform would end the war and revive commerce, and make grass grow and corn sell; but now, since we have peace without reform, and commerce spreads her sail, and grass, grows, and corn sells quite inde pendent of it, the poor 11'hig haS nothing to fly to but his ab stractions, either to teed his own musings, or to arrange into a speech for an anniversary dinner. Lord Belgrave surely knew that; and it was, we confess, a little hard to advise the club to strip themselves of their aerial essence, and, in a word, to cease to be, neither by hemp, nor steel, nor lead, but by voluntary dissolution and thaw. SAVING ,BANKS. -----~+n It is always satisfactory to us to have it in our power to promote the interests of these useful and excellent Institutions. With this view we readily give publicity to the following case ; which, in consequence of a discussion at a late General Meeting of the Trustees of a neighbour. ing Savings Ban k, was submitted to the Attorney- General—together with the satisfactory opinion of that high public officer : Case.—" A Saving Bank has deposited its . Funds in the Bank of England —say to the amount of 10,000/. A forgery of the names of certain of the Trustees is successfully committed by one, or more of their Co-trustees, and a . sum, say of 5,000/. is therefore feloniously drawn out of the Bank of England.— Query. Are the Trustees generally or individually liable to be called on to make good such sum so feloniously obtained, or are they,, in other words, liable to be called on to make good losses not arising from their own personal delinquency ?" Opinion of the Attorney General.—" I am of opinion that the Trustees are not liable either generally or individually, to make good the sum drawn out of the Bank of England in the man 'ner above mentioned. (Signed) J. S. COPLEY. " Lincoln's Inn, 22d Oct. 1824." We are informed that the Savings' Bank in this town was closed on Monday last, for three weeks, for the purpose of making up the accounts of interest to the 20th of this month, as required by an Act passed last Session of Parliament, in stead of the Ist of February as heretofore.— ( Bury Gazette, Nov. 3.) HIGHLAND EDUCATION. We are most happy that an honourable, and we hope a vigorous attempt is now making by the Highland Propnetors for the extending of English learning over their estates. • An application will be made for the assistance of Par liament, and sure we are that, to a certain extent, that assist ance will not be refused. Undoubtedly, the Highlands are at this moment, in respect to useful literature and the arts of life, a very frightful waste. Whatever may be their virtues, they are not the virtues of' civilised life. Two-thirds of the population are divided by language, and, of course, by habits, affection, and opinions, from all that genius and industry have done to exalt this country : they form rile rude wreck of a system which the law itself has destroyed, and, if it had not, must have been crushed by the advancing intellect of the times. If we want thellighlfnders to play their parts among us as men and coun trymen, we must give them our language. We must instruct them in our habits and thoughts—dash down the hurtful though respectable prejudices which make them a distinct people,—and open a great career .of interest and honour beyond their own poor and narrow territory. It Is a d, nutted on all hands, and by none more readily than their best friends, that vast masses of the Highlanders are absolutely without education. The plan of Gaelic instruction is • known to be a total failure. How, in. deed, could it be otherwise, in a language which has no literature, and must be, and is in itself, imperfect and unfixed ? f one half of the attention that has been paid to Celtic descents, and Celtic games, and Celtic dresses, and Celtic histories had been given to the shattered remnant of the Celts themselves, it could not now be...said that in the North we had the worst, and in the South the best, in structed peasantry in the world. In our love of the tar tan, we forgot that the weavers could neither read nor write. We forgot that the hands which wielded the claymore, could not govern the plough. Above all, we forgot that in the true business of life tartans and claymores, coronacha, and clanship, pibrochs the i i n s bsertonncholsat sa crific e ragtutal . t o language makeelgrees? are of no earthly value. This roust be amended. And f a fair the While the Gaelic is n a w d th i l t ieo i l li s eip s gae u itoit i ipe te amlne de lightful li g htful to notice that the proprietors themselves, throwing aside hoveall weak prejudices, We ls r e b im e ) they never can improve. Our first stroke must be aimed at the vitals of this tongue. wild dreams of feudal antiquity, or picturesque expression. For wherever there is improvement in the Highlands it has followed in the wake of the English language. Wherever there is rude ness, ignorance of letters, want of commercial enterprise, and general poverty, we are sure to find the Gaelic. N ow , if t h at language be in any way admirable as an example of the pro. gress of ancient tongues, it will be quite as useful in its death as in its life. Let it be put down as a living tongue--and we may yet find that the genius of %Vett and Burns is not limited to the Lowlands.—{.Edinburgh Observer, Nov. 2.) MATRIMONIAL LOTTERY.---Yesterday, accord ing to annual custom, on the sth of November, under the will of Air. 'Leine, formerly a brewer in Wapping, six maidens, educated in his hospital in Fawdon.fields, Wapping, met at the Trustee's house, to draw lots, under the will of the founder, for a prize of one hundred pounds, as a marriage portion. The husband of the successful candidate must be a mechanic, be longing Jo h n, to the parishes of St. Wapping; St. Paul, Shadwell; or :it. George In the East ; he must not be a sailor, soldier, or waterman ; and he must have testimonials of his good character. The young woman must have attained the age of 21, and have been in one place three years as a servant, with strict propriety. Muiti)Ett of Cutuntr.m.--The discovery of two horrible murders has during the past week agitated the town of Boston and it s ne i g hb our h oo d in an extraordinary de. gree. The body of a female, who was about eleven years of age, and has been missing nine months, was discovered doubled up with its clothes on, in the roof of a granary, by some work men who were pointing the tiles, the poor thing's bonnet, cloak, and pattens, first presenting themselves to view ; and the body of another child, of the same sex, only nine years of age, with its arms and l egs ti e d toget h er , w ho has been lost seven or eight days, was afterwards found in a pond. A Coroner's Jury has sat daily upon them since last Saturday ; but nothing as yet has been made public.--(Stan ford Itfemity.) On Thursday morning, as the servant of Mr. BEI,Tow was walking with two of her master's sons, four and six years old, in the Regent's Park, a motherly sort of woman got into conversation with her, and affected to know the child ren, whose parents resided in Holman-place, near the spot. Under pretence of getting the your boy some milk, the credu lous girl parted with the child, and he was not brought back. The grief of the parents were Inconsolable, and bills offering a reward of 201. for the . apprehension of the worst of wretches were distributed about the neighbourhood, but to no other effect than ascertaining to whom the _ phild belonged. At 11 o'clock at night the poor boy was found near the Yorkshire Stin - go,- by a patrol, literally naked. It was conveyed to its Barents. The stolen clothes were riot worth more than thirty FOR THE SIN. EDDA. FAULE IV.—ln what Manner the Sons of Boat formed the Heavens and the Earth. EDlTOR—Gangler now asked, Was there any sort of equality, and of good intelligence, between these two different races ?—llar an swers—This was so far from being the case, that the sons of Bore slew the giant Ynter ; that such was the quantity of blood that issued from his wounds that all the families of the Giants of the Frost were drowned, all excepting one giant, who escaped together with his family ; and the name of this Giant is Bergehner. By getting into his vessel;he avoided death ;* and by him was the race of the Giants of the Frost preserved from total destruction. This account is confirm ed by the following lines : " Many winters before the earth was formed, Bergehner had been born into the world ; and well do I know, that by enter ing into his bark, this wise giant escaped from destruction."
