Tim LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers , N0v.17 , 1825 THE TIMES.] The merchants trading with Gibraltar have of late, in many insta►►ces, received large remit tances in British silver currency, sent out for circulation there under the new colonial regula tion, but which appears to be sent back again as fast as it arrives. As there is already a sufficient supply of silver for the home circulation, most of the private bankers refuse to receive large sums, and the Gibraltar merchant is compelled, there fore, to transfer his remittances in silver to the Bank, where no objection is at present made, though the period may not be far distant when the throwing back of the silver currency from all the colonies may force even the Bank to refuse it. The consequence may he, that the merchant who receives it as a remittance will be forced to submit to a large discount to have it taken off his hands. In the mean time, it must be deemed a fair subject of apprehension, from what has oc curred in the case of Gibraltar, that the measure for introducing the British silver currency into all our foreign possessions can hardly succeed, and that some modification of it ought to take place, or some other be substituted for it, which will lead to a state of uncertainty with regard to the circulation in the Colonies, in itself a far worse evil than any that existed previous to the new regulation. But of all the inconveniences that will arise from the measure, none perhaps are more serious or more to be regretted than those which will be expe rienced by the soldiery, who will receive their pay inn currency depreciated in the comparison with that they had previously been accustomed to by 6or 7 per cent.—a difference which will soon become apparent to them in the comparative quantity of necessaries or comforts they are en abled to purchase. Indeed, this unequal value existing, the shopkeeper must establish two rates for the sale of his commodities, according as the payment is proposed to be made in Spanish dol lars, or in British silver currency. We trust that the attention of Ministers will be turned without delay to this point ; the measure must be remo delled, or our colonies and those connected with them be visited by all the evils incident to a tlactuating and precarious currency. But with regard to the character of the regulation recently adopted, we must observe that there is no essen tial difference between the issue of a base cur rency, and that of a currency of pure metal at more than its intrinsic worth. [MORNING. POST.] Intelligence from Colombia has reached us to the 22d of September. It is contained in the Caraccas Colombiano, and consists amongst other things of a Circular 'letter, dated from the Palace of Government, in Bogota, July 28, 1825, to the Intendants of the Departments, respecting the Encyclic Letter of the Pope, charging the Ca tholic Bishops to recommend the union of the States in which they reside, with the Mother Country. It supposes this may only be intend ed to apply to countries which have never de clared themselves independent of Spain ; • but, at the same time, strictly enjoins that any of the Clergy, who, by word, writing, or other means, shall act upon this recommendation in the Republic of Colombia, shall be forthwith handed over to the proper Tribunal, to be tried according to the 64 Ley de Patronato." The greatest activity and vigilance are recommended on this subject. The Colom bian() also refers to the second letter received by Joseph Lancaster from Bolivar, enclosing bills of exchange for twenty thousand dollars, and letters of advice for the Peruvian Agents in London. The Lancasterian School, under the patronage of Bolivar, was expected to be in a state for public examination in the course of a month from the above date. It appears however, by an adver tisement from Lancaster himself, in that Paper, that being much indisposed, he was reluctantly compelled to discontinue his school till the 27th instant" (September), when " he would be again happy to see all highly esteemed pupils, and would then have a fresh supply of honours and rewards for the most meritorious." [MORNING CURONICLE.] It will be remembered that a few days ago a petition was presented to the Lord Chancellor, praying that the legal father of two children might be restrained from taking them from the custody of their natural parents ; it being alleged that the legal fattier claimed them with the de sign of revenging himself on the mother (from whom he had been divorced) through the chil dren. It appeared from two affidavits, that the legal father had declared that one of the chil dren, a girl, could not be his, and had stated that he had little doubt but that the other, a boy, was not his ; and it was further sworn, that he hid expressed his determination to disinherit the boy, and to put the girl into an Irish cabin until of an age for marriage, when he would marry her with a portion of one hundred pounds to any poor farmer. The Chancellor dismissed the petition, and when giving his reasons for doing so, referred to his judgment in the case of Mr. Byshe Shelley, stating that lie abided by the doctrines he had laid down in that and another case respecting the grounds on which the Court would interfere with the rights of parents. His Lordship observed, at the same time, 44 that if there was any case in which the public were more particularly interested in having the grounds upon which the Court proceeded, fully known, it was in what related to the jurisdiction exercised against the acknowledged rights of parents."— Feeling the truth of his Lordship's remark, and being anxious to trace his decision in Moore v. Fitzgerald to the principles on which he relied, and to 'which he referred, we commenced a search for the case of Mr. Byshe Shelly, and discovered to our great mortification that no such case was to he found in the Reports. The Lord Chancellor, we are informed, heard the matter in his private chamber, and it was consequently not reported. Here we have an edifying example of the advantage of private hearings, and also of the intelligible manners in which the reasons for judgments are explained. The Chancellor, in deciding on one case, refers us to another, of which, for the reason above stated, we find no report; and at the time that he makes this re ference to a matter heard in private, and conse quently not published, he distinctly states, that " if there was any case in which the public were more particularly interested in having grounds upon which the Court proceeded fully known, it was in what related to the jurisdiction exer cised against the acknowledged rights of pa rents." Such a case was that of Mr. Shelly, and that case was heard in private, and the grounds of the decision, which, according to the Judge, should be fully known, are now and ever will be, unknown to the community. And what is more, these unknown grounds cause the grounds of other decisions to be unknown ; for, as in the case of Moore and Fitzgibbon, reference is made to them, when, hut for these phantoms, reasons would be given, and argument in one case is evaded by an alluston to another, which is not on record ; the Judge at the same time expatiat ing on the interest which the public have in clearly understanding the grounds on which the Court proceeds in such matters ! [THE PUBLIC LEDGEII.3 We have received a Caraccas - Paper (The Colombiano) to the 21st inst. it contains no po litical intelligence, from which suspicion itself could draw an unfavourable augury respecting the great and good cause in which the people of South America are embarked, though there is much of a contrary tendency. It furnishes ano ther striking instance, for example, of the rapid progress which religious liberty is making in Colombia, where the authority of the See of Rome, when it ventures to meddle with temporal matters, is as much disregarded as in any Pro testant State whatever. The present Pope, in the overflowing of his legitimate propensities, as well as from his well known desire to revive the obsolete pretensions of the papacy, thought fit,soon after his elevation to the Papal dignity, to address a Pastoral Letter to the Bishops of that portion of South America which had belonged toSpain,inwhich he exhorts them to use all their influence to bring about a return of the former order of things. The Columbian Government has published a Decree which is given in the Colombian°, interdicting the Bishops, under the most severe pains and pe nalties, from paying obedience to the Papal mes sage ; and there is not the least doubt but they will show more regard for the orders of their temporal, than for those of their ecclesiastical Head. Yet some persons pretend, that, wherever the Catholic Religion has taken root, no liberal ideas, and no practical reforms, can penetrate, though it is an incontrovertible fact, that religion has very little influence on the civil and political relations of man. In support of our opinion we may quote the example of Denmark, where Pro testantism and the most complete despotism have gone on together for centuries in per fect harmony. Prussia is another instance of this cordiality ; and the Electorate of Hesse affords an example equally striking. Wirtem berg, until recently, gave a further proof of this brotherly union ; and every one, we presume, knows that the Protestant Canton of Berne is the most Aristocratic of the Swiss Confederacy. Our own high Churchmen have ever been the uncom promising advocates of the Divine Right of Kings; whereas the Catholics of South America are as ardent in the pursuit of liberty as any Sect or People of modern times. Therefore the notion that national regeneration and Catholicity are in compatible with one another, is one of those gross delusions that owe their origin to fraud, and their circulation to unsuspecting simplicity. [MORNING HERALILI If the Ale-brewers in the metropolis, and roughout the country, have the good sense and Oresight to withstand the tempting example set hem by the Porter-brewers, they may in the end be much greater gainers than they would be by copying it. When the original druggery and subsequent adulteration of porter are taken into the account, no wonder that its popularity and consumption have long threatened a decline, and that a great inclination has long existed for coun try ales in the Metropolis, the consumption of which has late been much on the increase ;—so much so, indeed, as we mentioned some time since, that some of the porter-monopolists of public-houses had already taken the alarm, and had threatened such of their tenants with expulsion as dared to vend a pure and whole some beverage on the same premises with the composition they chose to furnish them with. However, this is all talk and bluster, which they dare not put in practice. They know full well that the public mind is ripe for rebellion on this head ; and that great as Diana of the Ephesians may be, there is great danger of the craft not only being spoken against, but actually ousted altogether. The ale-brewers have now an opportunity of profiting by the indiscretion of their competitors ; and if they have only the courage, the honesty, and forbearance to keep down the price of their com modity, and to supply it good and genuine, the I porter-brewers may have reason to repent, the longest day they have to live, the extortion which, in the plenitude of their power, they have thought fit to practice upon the public. It would be a carious inquiry, but one which we have not at this moment either the means or leisure to pursue, how much of absolute taxation, and of profit, enters into every pot of beer consumed by a labouring man. We should be obliged to any of our readers who will make the calculation, nod shall readily give it publicity. The tax itself is, we admit, a difficuly point to grapple with. The interest of the debt must be paid ; and while such a change hangs over us, perhaps this is as fit a commodity to bear its proportion as any other. But that overgrown wealthy monopolists should have it in their power to increase the burdens whenever they please, is what need not, must not, and cannot much longer be endured. It would be better at once that Government it self should become the common brewer, and th e profits go, with the tax, into the national cof fers, than that individuals should thus be able to do what the Parliament cannot do—levy a tax upon the community, but contrary both to reason and justice. While such things as these can be done, to talk of combinations is a farce ; to pu nish workmen for endeavouring to get the most they can for their labour, is ridiculous ; while those who hold exclusive possession of this ne cessary of life, form one perpetual combination, dealing out their laws and ordinances, their prices, their exactions, and their mixture, without controul, and without, on the part of the Public, any remedy or means of escape. The thing is, on this occasion, so barefaced, that our only hope is, that it may in the end defeat itself ; and as there are two parties who may, by competition, effect it, we hope the public will be rescued from this thraldom by the ale brewers seeing their own interest so far us not to follow the example which has been set them. most important of all subjects, the Corn Laws. In the mean time, we freely confess that in our opi nion to touch either is to tamper with the springs of our national prosperity. They must have shut their eyes to the lessons of political history, who have not learned that the real causes of a nation's decline may be often traced to the measures in tended most for her benefit, and that this again proceeds from a fact to which Political Econo mists do not sufficiently advert, that when the relative situation of a country is changed, the same causes do not always produce the same effects. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. APPREHENSION OF STANLEY DE COURCEY IRELAND. M.ARYLEBONE-OFFICE.—The most intense interest was Yesterday excited at this Office, in consequence of the appre hension of Stanley de Corsrcey Ireland, who stands charged with being concerned in various extensive acts of swindling, in connection with an individual styling himself the " Ho nourable Frederick Ponsonby," after obtaining possession of a splendid mansion in Gloucester-place, through the recom mendation of Richard Martin, Esq., the Member of Parlia ment for Galway. Stowel, the officer, has been particularly on the alert, and the result of his inquiries was the discovery of Ireland's abode, which he ascertained to be in an obscure court in the Borough, where he has been living in a sad contrast from the splendid manner in which things were carried on at 91, Glou cester-place, under the name of Jones. Stowel took him by surprise after a short preparatory conversation, and brought him in a coach to this office. The circumstance soon gained wind, and was circulated pretty generally at the West-end of the town, especially among the most respectable tradesmen who flocked in great numbers to the office. Stowel, having secured the prisoner, proceeded to the King's Bench prison, where he received information that the woman who acted as housekeeper was, and he took her also into custody, an d b roug ht h er to the office, where she and her master were locked up until the arrival of Mr. RAW LINSON, the Magistrate, whose indefatigable exertions in this case deserve the highest eulogy. Mr. RAIVLINSON, Mr. GRIFFITHS, Lord MousrTrortn, l Sir P. Latin tE, and other Gentlemen were on the Bench. The usual business being gone through, the prisoner Ire land, and Eliza Gravett, the housekeeper, were conducted into the Court and placed at the bar, when every eye was directed towards hint with the most anxious curiosity, while he seemed low spirited, but firm. He was attired in black, is of a gentle manly appearance, possesses a superior address, and appears to be about 30 years of age. The housekeeper is a homely look. ing personage about 40, and is of decent appearance. Stowel, the officer, being sworn, stated, that in consequence of having received information that the prisoner Ireland was lodging in the neighbourhood of the Borough, he proceeded thither yesterday morning, about eight o'clock, and, iis a small Court in William-street, Suffolk-street, where he was informed the prisoner lived, lie made inquiry whether a Mr. Jones ' lodged there ; he ascertained that such a gentleman resided in the court, and the house was pointed out to him. He knocked at the door, which, on being opened, he asked the individual whether Mr. Jones lodged there. He was answered in the af firmative, and the prisoner Ireland, who was brushing his boots in the yard, was pointed out as Mr. Jones. Witness proceeded towards him, and said, " How do you do, Mr. Jones ? good morning ;" he replied " Very well," on which witness asked " where is your friend, Mr. Ponsonby ?" The prisoner hesi tated. Witness then said, " I believe your name is Ireland, and not Jones." The prisoner said his name was not Ireland. Witness knew to the contrary, and informed him that he had a warrant, charging him with various acts of fraud, and it was his duty to take him into custody, which he accordingly did. Witness went up stairs to search his bed room, but he found nothing of any consequence. He ultimately confessed that his name was Ireland. On searching his pockets he found several papers, a card case, with one of the Hon. Mr. Frederick Pon sonby's cards. Mr. Goulding, the solicitor for the prosecution, asked Stcrivel whether it was before or after he was searched that he denied his name was Ireland ? Stowel said it was before he was searched. Ile found a letter from an attorney in Ireland, a letter directed to Colonel Martin, and others, together with the deed of agreement signed by Mr. Marsh, for the house, No. 91, Gloucester-place, and also two duplicates, one for some knives and forks, pledged in the name of Mrs. Brooks, and the other for some muslin, which was pledged for nine shillings in the name of Cockrel. Having heard that the female prisoner was acting as servant to Mrs. Saunders, in the King's Bench Prison, he proceeded thither, and told her he had a warrant against her for fraud, and lie was to take her into custody. She replied that she was happy it had come to this issue, as the matter would be investigated. She had ever since walked in great fear. Mr. ItawListsoss asked the prisoner whether lie wished to put any questions to the officer ; he replied that he did not. Mr. Joseph Daniels, silversmith and cutler, of No. 214, Ox [BßlTisti PRESS.] ford-street, stated that he knew the prisoner Ireland, by sight only' He did not ord e r a ny o f th e goo d s f rom w i tness.

The amount of the different Securities which have been sold is surpris►ng. Notwith standing this the Funds continue falling. Con sols for the Account opened yesterday about 858. In the course of the morning they reached 86, and by many it was thought they would in some degree recover themselves ; but after one o'clock they gradually declined until they left off at 851 sellers, both for Money and the Ac. count, 24th November. Exchequer Bills of 1,0001. and 5001. were done from par to 2s. pm. ; small Bills 2s. to 4s. pm. Money appears very scarce in the City, and the difficulty of getting any Bills discounted (but those of the very first class) is considerable.—ln the Foreign Market, the settling of Tuesday has not been attended with any further declarations than what we no ticed yesterday. Some one or two were ar ranged privately. The differences during the last Account were heavy, but the consequences were in a great measure guarded against. The decline in the South American Securities exceeds that of Tuesday, or indeed any during this fall ; Co lombian Bonds, which opened yesterday at 66 4 . 1 , left off at 624, making a decline of 4 per cent., and for the Account 44 per cent. as they opened at 674, and closed at 63. Mexican Bonds 6 per cent., 711 to 694 ; ditto Scrip, 14-1 to 16 dis.; Brazil Scrip, 12 to 134 dis.; Greek. Bonds, 22 ; Spanish Bonds, 154 to a ; French Rentes, 98f. 25c. to 97f. 50c. In the Share Market, although several prices were quoted, yet the quantity of business transacted was not in proportion to what was done in the Consol and Foreign Market.-- The whole of the Shares were heavy in the ex treme, and the difficulty in procuring purchasers great ; in fact, the prices of many of them were nominal. Anglo Mexican Mining Shares were reported 25 to 271 pm. ; Brazilian, 14 premium ; Bolivar, 12.1 pm. ; Castellos, -1 pm. ; Potosi, 14 dis.; Royal Stannary, 4s dis.; United Mexican, 9 prn. ; New ditto, 91 pm. ; Alliance Marine, 4 pm.; British Iron, 74 dis. ; British Rock Salt, 3 pm. ; British and Irish Silk, j dis. ; General Steam Navigation, dis. ; Mexican Gto 5 dis. t he 10 which he had ordered, and she sa id s h e would EtWal t - 00 of Mr. Ponsonby' s l a dy.
