THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts front Me Morning' Papers, Sept. 17, 1825. [TIRE TIMES.] The trial of a young man named Christmas for embezzlement, reported in our paper of yester day, had been looked forward to with consider able interest, and arose out of circumstances which ought to be lastingly impressed upon the attention, not of young men or bankers' clerks only, but of old men as well as young, and men of high degree and affluent fortune, as well as of the unprovided and obscure. The offence of which this unfortunate person has been found guilty was the embezzlement of his employer's property ; but that was not his original trans gression. The parent crime of poor Christmas was gaming—the most ruinous description of gaming, because on the largest scale—viz. stock-jobbing—unlawful, disgraceful, insuffer able stock-jobbing—that of time bargains in - new speculations. Here was a man in a banker's shop, striving, by his own confession, to retrieve his pecuniary embarrassments, by permitting two stock-brokers to involve him in a series of gambling transactions to an amount exceed ing 900,0001. ! Little then does it surprise us to hear, that the differences and broker's commission brought against him was in the long run nothing short of 7,0001. Now, if this were a solitary picture, or likely to remain so, we should hesitate before we troubled our readers by pressing it on their attention. But grieved we are'to say, that ten thousand copies might be found in London only, of precisely the same vicious hardihood, and wreckless abandon ment of all the dictates of sobriety, integrity, and honour. The city—and not the city alone, but the correspondents of city men from every corner of the kingdom,. are wild with the same frantic spirit of speculation. The South Sea scheme was calculating wisdom, compared with many of-the bubbles which are now blown into cur/Pricy by the breath- of any profligate advert toter, with or without a name. In the South Sea mania there were at least many persons of known . repute, and real property, embarked in the-amdertaking, and exposed to an immense' amount, so that ignorant individuals had sweae plUusibie and saving argument to justify the eagerness of their imitation. But who and what are they that call upon public confidence at the present crisis? and what security have the headlong fools whom they seduce, we do-not say for the sound ness 9f. the project started, but for the honesty of thine who direct and administer the funds con tributed to its advancement ? How many schemes have already been deserted by those who adver tised the sale of shares, after they had got hold of the deposits ! How many calls have been made for deposits of money, when the names and designations of the parties projecting them have been audaciously withheld from the subscribers ! A-Correspondent (Ito wiseacre, we must take the liberty of telling him) informs us, that lie has shares in several new companies—six in number —the advertising directors of which have one aud,all thrown up the management, after having touched the deposits. Of the gross number of . 32 Directors,- 24, it appears, are on the list of the whole six companies. Having received the first instahnents from their shareholders, and let all the other business of their respective schemes go sleep ; no satisfaction can the subscribers ob tain, as to when or how the .promises held out in each prospectus are to be realized ; or in what manner their specific . objects are to be pursued. The personal identity of- most of the Directors, it seems, is .rather difficult to develop. Their intentions are shrouded in mystery—giving no insight into their bankers' accouttes, nobody knows whither the cash may have absconded to, or ie whose pocket it.may by this time have . nestled. Our worthy correspondent betrays much exasperatioo at the, authors of his injury. We should hope that no small portion of his anger falls where it ought to do —upon his own shoulders for though some respect may be due to an individual who conde scends to make us the confidants of hisanisfortune, we shall not scruple to say to others who have placed themselves in similar circumstances, that they are arrant fools, and deserve not a particle of our pity . . Would it be practicable to introduce a legal p ovision, thatall the Directorsof a new joint stock company should be forced to lodge security Wlth the ExChequer, hearing a certain ratio to the Whole capital which they call upon the public to Subscribe ? If all the world were men. of sense, they might undoubtedly be left to adopt measure's for their own protection ; but we every day fied the Legislature.endeavourieg to guaran tee the weak against themselves. CHItONICLE.] . 'Among the speculative schemes for extracting money from the pockets of the public, the sale of Licensed Victualling Houses,, at enormous premiums, is an' - abuse, of which the immediate ciriSequences fall tiiiPu : the, consumers of the Liquors sold in the licensed house, who', of course, are made to pay for the exaggerated price at which it was purchased. These are, for ibe g:4:44ter part, .the labouring and industrious *gasses ; the more remote,cou,sequences affect the individual taking the, licence, who is -crashed 14et0.eon the bre•wer,an'd.the builder ;.and hence it-is that our Debtors'Gaols are -filled with ruined publicans, many of thern respectable gentlethen's servants, who, after years of service, had been able to save a little money. The origin of the evil is ascribed by a Surrey_ Magistrate, w,hOse paophlet.. we, lately. . noticed, to the cor. reapt7 artifice by which it has been con trived- to annex the licence, to the., hntise,in perpetuity, for the benefit of the proprietor, Othongba license is. notoriously only the grant of a(Lannual privilege, and that not to the owner tit tp,.the occupier.of.the house. The assiduous a-tAenclance of Magistrates at the Licensing Ses . .. sions, in the neighbourhood, of London, who are closely connected with brewers -and buildet4 4 is Agliced by this writer-with something like indig aant,surprise. Indignation .there may be room foc i ' but upon his own statement what is there to wonder at ? Does he imagine that what • he mildly terms CI a false principle," was introduced into the licensing system merely to remain a dead letter? The very useful pamphlet of this gen tleman speaks volumes, but it fades before the glaring iniquities which are disclosed in the Re port of the Police Committee of the House of Commons. The Licensing Act, founded in part on that Report, has failed to correct the evils which it propoed to remedy, and there can be little doubt that, on its renewal next year, the publicans and the public will unite in imploring the Legislature to strike at the root of this sys tem of patronage and corruption. It is pos sible that, tinder proper regulations and re spectable securities, the trade may be thrown open, and left like other trades to find its own level. This is strongly recommended by an experienced Magistrate, in his evidence be fore the Police Committee ; and it is, perhaps, the only effectual cure for abuses, which are proved by him, and by a multitude of other witnesses who are examined, to be equally injurious to the pubticans and the public. We have been led to make these observations, because it is in this month that licences are granted to new public houses, and as many persons may be led to pur chase them at prices far above their real value, under the impression that the old system will be allowed still to go on, we think it right to warn them that all good men, of all parties, feel strongly the necessity of placing the Licensing System on some other footing, which may destroy the monopoly, and reduce their new purchases to their intrinsic worth. The number of these new houses round London is so considerable, that probably their artificial value consequent on their being licensed cannot be estimated at less than 100,0001., and as we have cautioned others in other instances, we trust with good effect, we hope to be excused for advising the speculators in this description of property, while they are making their calculations, to keep in mind the evidence adduced and established before the Committee of the House of Commons, and con nect it with the fact that the present Act expires next year. [BRITISH PRESS.]' The French Papers are r.s amusingly earnest as ever in their discussion of the consequences that will ensue to Europe from the 'establishment of the protectorate of Great Britain over Greece.— Each Journal discusses the subject according to its party views, but they all concur in regarrUpg the fact as absolutely certain. The Constitutionnel thinks that the English Government will content itself with replying to the Greeks, that " it takes a warm interest in their cause; that they should not despair of it ; that their past successes are a security for successes yet to be achieved, and, that if it cannot with propriety give them mili tary aid, it is about to send an Ambassador (Mr. Stratford Canning) to Constantinople, who will use his utmost influence with the Porte to obtain the recognition of the independence of a territory or► which the heroic remains of their nation may flourish in peace. There is no news from Greece later than we have already published, at least, of any events of a clear and decisive character. The Greek fleet under Miaulis was pursuing the Otto ' man, which had taken refugmunder the forts of the Morea. It was reported thatColocotroni, after hav ing been defeated, had rallied his forces and gained a complete 'victory over Ibrahim Pacha. We must, of course, receive these statements with caution. There seems, however, no reason to doubt that the loss sustained by the Turks be fore Missolonghi was very great. That veracious journal, the Oriental Spectator, repeats the story that the Greek Government had placed the Morea under the protection of England. It ap pears, from an article in the Courier Francais, that the terms and conditions of the Haytian loan are settled, though the envoys are yet in quaran tine at Brest. There is to be no competition with respect to the contract. All is decided, and it would therefore seem as if the terms of the loan, and the names of the contractors, had been imposed upon Hayti as an essential part of the recognition of her independence. M. Lafitte will take one-half of the loan, and Mr. Baring the other. The loan will be redeemable at the end of 20 years, and will bear six per cent. interest. The price of the contract is 82 per cent. The produce and merchandise which the Republic will send to France, for the payment of the debt and inte rest, will be consigned to the ports of Havre, Nantes, and Bordeaux. The amount of the loan will be 146 millions of francs. The amount of, the indemnity to the colonists is 150 millions, but the Ilaytians are able to pay the first instalment of 30 millions immediately in cash. There re. main consequently but 120 millions to be raised by loan, which at 82 per cent. will rather exceed 146 millions of principal debt. The Haytian Government appears to have been in haste to comply with every requisition made by the French. M. de Villele has dictated at his plea sure, every part *Of the arrangement, and, in the very act of obtaining the nominal recognition of their independence, the Ilaytians surrendered the character of an independent people. The Cham ber of Accusation of. the Royal Court of Paris has decided that there is no ground for prose eating M. Ouvrard, who has in consequence been re►>7oved from the Conciergerie back to St. Pelagie. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] German Papers tO r the Bth inst. arrived yester day, but their contents are of little importance. An article from Augsburgh, 'dated the, 7th in— stant, corroborates the intelligence lately re ceived from Greece, relitiVel6 the defeat of Turks before Missolongla. According to this Uccuunt, it should appear that the victory was at tributable to the opportune arrival . Of a ,Greek corps, which, after having 'gained some ,advan tages over a Turkish forCe, opposed to therp, as sembled at Lidoyiki, and, inunediately inarching On MiSsolorighi, effected ajunction with the gar rison of that 'Olace, whO, thus aided, were ena bled signally to defeat the besieging army Of Itedschid Pacha. We trust that, when we are 'possession of the authentic details, they will fully confirm this account. SOMe. further ex ainpi-es of similar bravery and decision on part 'of the Greeks, wily render the discussion of the question of the Protectorate (which continues, we think, needlessly, to agitate the minds of the Editors of the French Papers) quite unnecessary. [NEW Timm.] The Etoik dated Thursday morning reached us last night. Spain and Greece form the inter mediate topics in these Papers, and they do not appear to be getting any further forward in the arguments on either side. We do not wonder that the former of these subjects should occupy much attention in France. Private accounts, from high quarters, assure us that the Spanish affairs are the principal subject of deep, and sometimes angry, discussion in the French Cabi net, which will, ere long, take a most decided step towards their arrangement. Greece, we should imagine, is left entirely to the newspapers, who are arguing about it pretty much in the man ner of disputants, who, to use the language of Dr. Johnson, " from false premises draw incon sequent conclusions." Our acquisition of the Morea is the great bone of contention ; but, after an immensity of discussion, the Constitutionnel has discovered that Mr. Canning has no de sire of annexing the empire of Greece to that of England. It certainly requires a reach of thought to come to so profound a conclusion.— This point, however, having been established by this stretch of miraculous ingenuity, a plain man would think the controversy should cease. If we will not have it, there ought to be an end of speculations on the consequences of the offer— but " they manage these things better in France," and the wordy war is continued with as much pertinacity as ever. A dispute into which the same paper has entered with Viscount de Bonald, on the effect of religion on political power, &c., puts us very much in mind of the controversy at present raging between a morning contemporary of ours and Mr. M'Culloch, the Ricardo Lec turer. It seems just as luminous and oracular; . and the French parties appear to understand about as much of this subject as the British dis putants do of theirs. However, it fills the co lumns, which is perhaps the only end aimed at on both sides of the water. [MORNING POST.] French Papers to the 15th inst., and the Etoile of Thursday, reached us last night by express. The latter contains intelligence from Corfu to the 17th ult., which throws some light on the events which occurred during the preceding month in the Morea. The momentary occupation of Tripolizza by Demetrius Ypsilanti is confirmed, as well as the destruction of the Arabs by whom it was garrisoned, to the number of 2,000. —As the place was in ruins, however, the Greeks did not attemp to retain it, but re tired as Ibrahim Pacha approached. Colo cotroni, it is frankly admitted, was defeated in the first action which he fought with the Egyp tians near Tripolizza, and was driven to the vil lage of Acladocambo, on the road to Napoli di Romania. There, however, he is said, in a short time to have collected 16,000 men, and on resum ing the offensive, to have obtained a decisive vic tory. He then changed his plans, and instead of pushing on to Tripolizza, marched to Simano on the road to Leondari and Navarino, in order to cat off the enemy from his supplies or rein. forcements on the coast. On his way he is said to have been joined by Prince Ypsilanti with 4000 , men, and afterwards by the Mainottes, who had at last taken an active part in the contest, and given their powerful aid to the common cause. Notwithstanding these successes on the part of the GrEfeks, the Oriental Spectator asserts that Ibrahitn's army had taken Napoli di Malvoisia. It is perhaps at the time when Colo cotroni was defeated, or since he ceased to cover the capital and took the direction of Navarino, that the inhabitants of Napoli and the Govern ment of Greece came to the resolution of placing their country under our protection. Such details are given in these papers of the manner in which this resolution was discussed and adopted by the Executive, that it is impossible any longer to doubt its reality, though it is clear that Captain Hamilton could not give the Greeks any of the guarantees which are represented to have ema nated from him. On this subject the Consti tutional publishes some very sensible reflections. " How is it," says that Journal, " that so much noise is made about a request, which is only a repetition of similar applications made to other Powers ? Greece invoked the protection of the Holy Alliance, and all were silent. She invoked that of the Pope, and no one moved ; but scarcely does she ask the protection of Eng land, than all Cabinets are in agitation ! Do they not thus afford the British Government a most striking proof of the immense strength of a Ministry supported by national interests, and of the corresponding weakness of those who act in opposition to the wishes of the nations whose affairs they direct ? But what will be the consequence of ,this act ? Can Capt. Hamil ton have pledged an imprudent promise ? Though a military man, can he have mixed himself up with civil transaction ? No ; all that he can have, and must have done, has been to send the request of the Greeks to the Lord High Commissioner, who will himself have forwarded it immediately to Loudon. But what decision will be taken by the English Ministers 2 The question is not difficult to solve. They will certainly not betray their high trust. Mr. Can ning will continue to discharge his duty. lie will feel it due to the Greeks to support their de mand in the most efficacious manner, but equally due to his country not to deprive it of the happy enjoyment of a peace which has raised its prospe rity so high. Ile will not think for one instant of annexing the Greeks to the British Empire under the title of Proteges, for war would be the sure result of 'so momentuous a measure. When the absurdities of the colonial system display themselves on all sides, this is not the moment at which England would choose to return to it, e sp e cially when the act would occasion a war which it is equally . her wish and inte rest to avoid, whatever might be its chances. — She will therefore rest satisfied with telling, the Greeks that she takes a deep interest in their cause ; that they must not despair ; t h a t the Sue ledge of 1 cesses which they have gained are a p those which they will obtain ; and that if she cannot send them soldiers, she will dispatch her Ambassador (Mr. Stratford Canning) to Constan tinople ; who will efficaciously interfere with the Porte to secure the independence of a terri tory where the heroic remains of their nation may revive and flourish in peace. England may new acquire, if she establishes the in dependence of Greece, the gratitude of the ci vilized world. Why should not other Govern ments combine with the British Government to insure the triumph of so noble a cause. The Greeks asked only for one Protector ; let all the nations, impelled by a generous emulation, pre sent themselves and dispute with England the honour of restoring that people. What can pre vent them ? The barriers are open. If England alone defends humanity, what a disgrace will it not be for them !" [MORNING HERALD . Now that the mania of Joint Stock Companies has in a great degree subsided, from a conviction on the part of the public that nine-tenths of those which have been proposed are mere bubbles, and of the most hopeless and delusive kind, we were little prepared to hear of a new scheme more ab surd and preposterous, if possible, than any of its predecessors, in the shape of a project to raise no less a sum than a million of money in shares of 501, each, to give people a better view of St. Paul's ! There really seems no bounds to the folly of projectors, who talk of raising millions with more ease than the Chancellor of the Exche quer, and who seem to measure. the gullibility of John Bull by a standard entirely their own. The Duke of York, it appears, on being applied to to become the Patron of the scheme, very wisely de clined it " in the present state of the business," his Royal Highness no doubt considering that it cannot be advisable to give these people the power of destroying 600,000/. worth of property merely to afford those who walk up Ludgate-hill and along Cheapside a better view than they can at present have of that magnificent building, which every one must wish had been originally placed in a somewhat larger area than it at pre sent occupies. As nothing, however, will go down without the aid of great names,two or three Dukes and other very honourable persons have very good-naturedly (but as, we think, inconside rately) put their names to this project ; and with this sanction, about thirty or forty rubicund Common Councilmen having met at the Horns Tavern, have resolved that Ludgate-hill, and we do not know how many streets besides, shall be pulled down, and that " without attempting any infringment of the sacred rights of private pro perty !" And one of the sapient reasons that the good people of the Horns Tavern give for this magnificent scheme is, that horned cattle may pass more quietly along the Old Bailey. It is not a little amusing to see people meeting at a tavern and talking seriously in this way : but can there be any person among them so infa tuated as to suppose that Parliament will ever give its sanction to such a demolition of private property for an object so utterly inadequate.— We do not quarrel with their taste at all. We do not deny that it would be extremely desirable to obtain a better view of St. Paul's than we now get; and if that could be done by rounding off a few corners, and by pulling down some twenty or thirty houses with the consent of the owners, the object would be well worth the attempt ; but upon the scale proposed by these people, it neither can nor ought to be attempted. There cannot be much doubt, but that if the scheme had taken possession of John Bull's fancy, Mr. Elmes, the architect, might have realized his commission of one half of the sum advertised for, say on 500,0001., which at 2-1- per cent. must have amounted to 12,500/. This is the way in which nice little fortunes are made. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LICHFIELD RACES.--SEcosn DAY.
