THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extract, from the Morning Papers, Nov. 24, 1825 • - [THE TIMES.] • We understand that the Governor and Deputy. governor of the Bank had an interview yest,r day morning, at their own request, and by ap pointment, with the Chancellor of the Exche quer ; and no doubt is entertained in the city that the meeting has arisen out of the difficulties in which the Bank is at present involved. It is believed that the principal object of the Gover nor and Deputy-Governor has been to state, that if the periodical calling in of Exchequer bills shall take place as usual, at the termination of this quarter, and if the decline of those securities to a discount, which has already taken place, should lead, on the part of the public, to a large demand for money instead of new bills, that the 'Bank Directors, in that case, will not have it in •their power to supply the Minister with the funds that may be requisite for that purpose. They must, in fact, .OE-at the Government, on a point wherein the welfare of the establishment is at issue, as they would any private party, and refuse the accommodation which might conduct them beyond the point of safety. It is further said, •that they require of the Minister, at as early a period as may be practicable, a repayment of part at least of the advances made by them on de posing of Exchequer bills. This demand is sup posed to have placed the Chancellor of the Ex • chequer in .a very disagreeable dilemma, and, if • persisted in, will leave him only the alternative of either funding Exchequer bills to a large amount, or taking the responsibility of involving the Blink in embarrassments, analogous to those of 1797, through its connexion with the Treasury. To fund Exchequer bills is a measure not to he accomplished without a loan, which must be authorized by Act of Parliament, the early _summoning of which assembly might create still farther alarm in the public mind ; and yet to suffer the period for calling in Exchequer bills to pass over would be a confirmation of the difficulties which the Government is sup posed to be at this moment sharing . pretty extensively with the Bank of England. •What passed at the interview of yesterday morn , ing has not of course transpired, but people infer from various circumstances, which 'sometimes speak as plainly as direct information, that it has led to nothing satisfactory., The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who came to town expressly for this meeting, is the only Cabinet Minister, we believe, now in London ; and it is not likely, from his known indecision and timidity, that he could dispose at once, and without assistance, of so momentous a question. lie could have no alternative, therefore, but to adjourn it till the arrival of the other members of the Cabinet in town, which, unless they accelerate their move ments to oblige the Directors of the Bank, will not be earlier than the 4th or sth of next month, one of which days is fixed, we believe, for the assembling of the first Cabinet Council. Thus the matter stands at present. [NEW TI ES.I - A most singular opinion is put forth in a 'Morn .iag Paper of yesterday, namely, that " there is, in fact, too much money afloat." The common impression is the very contrary, and the general statements in the very article referred to are wholly inconsistent with the opinion here stated ; but inconsistency is a trifle in a leading JOurnal. The general (one of the article in question is melancholy and depressing. By the by, we ge nerally find one of these depressing articles pub- 1 lisped just before the account. This coincidence is remarkable; and it may, perhaps, render some persons less ready to receive the writer's impulse, or, in more trivial phraseology, " to be led by the nose" by him.We do not mean to deny that the de cline in the funds has been marked and rapid oflate, nor shall we contend that there have not been several depressing causes ; but among them we do reckon articles inserted in newspapers mani festly calculated to produce that effect. As to the complaints made of the Bank Directors, we do not profess to know all the facts necessary to justify an opinion on so delicate a question ; but this we know, that much nonsense is talked on the subject. Some persons, for instance, blame the Bank Directors for " refusing to advance money on South American and other Foreign Securities." Now it is a fact known, %se will venture to assert, to most merchants who have lia.d large transactions with the Bank Directors, that they never have, in any one instance, ad. i winced.,money upon any Foreign'Stocks. TIIE PUBLIC LEDGEn.] We have received the Paris Papers of Mon day, with The Etoile of Tuesday. The antici• paled-improvement in the Rentes has not taken place ; on- the contrary, they appear to be sub ject to as sinister an influence as our own Funds. On MOnday they sustained a further depression, :6d:without any other apparent cause but that of sympathy with the English Market. That no political cause operates upon them is almost ma nifest ; and. the 'speculative mania, which has been attended with such frightful effects in Eng - land, has not prevailed to any extent in France. It is true the Bank of France has curtailed its dis coants, like our own, which will partially account for the languid state of the Rentes ; but the chief canie, in all prObability, is the scarcity of money that exists in the English Market, and which must necessarily serve to check English specula tion-in French Securities. Whilst our Funds, in their fall, contribute to pull down the Hewes, the latter increase, by their weight, the velocity of the descent; whilst the chances of an improve ment necessarily diminish in consequence. The political intelligence in these Papers is devoid of interest, with the exception of a report, founded on the authority of a letter from Corfu, and which is copied from the Diario di Roma, according to 'which the Egyptian fleet has been defeated and dispersed by the Greeks. UnfortUnately for the credit of this account, the date of the action is omittefl ; though it is but proper to remark, that 1•14-e Roman Journal is justly distinguished for the accuracy of its intelligence respecting the affairs to be permitted to partake of ? This, to be sure, of Greece. The battle is said to have been would be somewhat repugnant to our old-fashion fought in the vicinity of Alexandria ; and Aliaulis, ed notions of a land of liberty, but it would, at Sachturis, and Canaris, are stated to have directed least, be equal justice, and ought to exist univer the operations of the Greek squadron. That the sally, or not at all. latter was on the look out for the Egyptian arma ment, had been statecrin a variety of accounts; and it would be, therefore, hazardous to treat the rumour as wholly unfounded. Besides, the Egyptian fleet has been represented as wretch edly manned ; and as it must have been further embarrassed in its movements by being obliged to convoy a great number of unwieldy transports, it is not at all improbable that the Greeks, with their usual alacrity and skill, took andantat,Te o its miserable plight ; and we repeat again that i would be rash to reject altogether the account o their success. [MORNING POST.] We received further accounts from Batavia [BRITISH PRESS.] yesterday. In addition to the native risings in that quarter against the Dutch Authorities, the Sultan of Sooloo had declared war, and his army had,approached within thirty miles of Samarang. General de Kock had immediately quitted the capital with a strong force to meet the enemy. The Sooloo Islands area chain of islands extend ing in a north-east and south-west direction from he north-eastern extremity of Borneo to the western extremity of Magindana. The natives are stated to he a warlike race. Various other native tribes had -declared against the Dutch power, and it appeared that a general rising against the Europeans had been planned. The Chinese of Ponkeina, a Dutch settlement on the west coast of Borneo, had also rehelled and mur dered the Europeans, and various other districts were also in a state of revolts By the Proclama tion which the Batavian Government issued on the 12th of last July, the entrepot duty of one per cent. was alone to be levied on the original invoice price of goods imported in the ports of Dutch India, and not one of two per cent. as ge nerally believed. The said duty was to he paid on entering the goods for entrepot, and these entrepots were to be established at all the ports belonging to the Netherlands, where the interest of commerce required them. From this •reduction of duty, muskets and war like stores were excepted —these articles continuing prohibited agreeably to the Procla mation of the 28th of May, 1822. The goods deposited in entrepot would he subject to a mo derate store rent, and the Government Officers in charge of the entrepot were not to be answerable for the goods lodged there unless neglect or em bezzlement on their parts were proved. No im portation would be permitted under the value of 1,000 guilders. Goods in entrepot could at times be transferred from one name to an other while laying there, and might be remov ed from one entrepot to another without any new duty being levied. On the importation of goods from entrepot they were to be considered in the same light as goods entered from-sea, and as such to be subject to the full import duties. Besides the entrepots existing at Batavia and Rhio, similar establishments were- to be formed at Anjier and Bantam, on goods already entered in entrepot and still remaining there, the dif ference between the - former entrepot duty levied thereon and the duty of 1 per cent. as established by this proclamation was to be refunded. [MORNING HERALD.] The blessings of the Game Laws, it seems, are ,o longer to be confined to the country, but have round their way to London ; some of the Bow street patrol, who are placed in the streets, as we have always understood, to protect the passen gers and inhabitants from depredation, having lately taken into their heads to stop every one they meet with carrying a hare, a pheasant, or a partridge, and requiring him to give an account of it. This is, in one sense, quite delightful„and extremely to our taste, for as we hate these same Game Laws excessively, we know of no more likely way of seeing them wiped from off our code, tha❑ that every means should be adopted to render them equally hateful to the whole community, though we confess that we should at the same time regret to see this useful part of the Police Establishment share in the odium, by becoming the gratuitous instruments of a too officious interference in mat ters with which they neither can, nor ought to have any thing to do: If it were right that a constable should stop a man in the street who is carrying a hare, it must be equally so that he should stop every coach that comes into town at Hyde-park-corner, for the same purpose. And if the possession of a hare be an offence, unless the owner's qualification or shooting licence be tied round its neck, we know nothing; to pre.' vent any man's cook or butler informing against his or her master for the illegal possession of game ; and even the unlucky wight who some times carries the game bag for the sportsman him. self, might be called- before the next Bench of Justices for so heinous a misdemeanour.-- This kind of petty tyranny and espionage is really too absurd in itself to require a comment ; and we should say that an instant Stop ought to be put to such proceedings, were it not that we hope that such an exercise of power under the Game Laws, as that to which we are alluding, will draw the public attention more and more to the necessity of an entire revision of those Laws themselves. That Game is openly.sold is quite notorious. There is not one among our readers who cannot have a hare for dinner to-morrow if he pleases; though we do not envy purchasers of game, the reflection that the wretched caterers to their tastes, the unfortunate poachers, may, as the law stands, be training to real offences in some distant gaols for obtaining their repast. But to return to the subject of street search. Half the better sorts of people who walk the streets have Bandana hankerchiefs in their pockets; half the ladies in carriages are adorned with smuggled silk or lace. If the practice of stopping people in the streets is to prevail, would it not be better at once to have a barrier erected at the entrance of every principal thoroughfare, with searchers to ascertain what a man wears,- and whether he is likely to dine upon the forbidden fruit, which none but the qualified proprietors of manors are A day of more extensive business has seldom been witnessed on the English Stock Market than that of yesterday, and Consols have gone down to a price lower than they have been for a very long time. The transactions principally had reference to this day's settling. The de pression was supposed to be owing to sales to an immense amount, effected by the Bills for the purpose of squaring their accounts. Exchequer Bills were at par to 2s. discount. The appear ance of the Money markets yesterday were gloomy beyond any thing that we have before seen, even in these gloomy times. Confidence seemed at a lower ebb than ever, and every one was endeavouring to account for it in his own way. For ourselves, there does not seem much' difficulty in accounting for this fearful consterna tion, by reference to the over excitement of last year. Many of the schemes of that period have turned out to be little better than bubbles, and that has had a tendency to destroy confidence in the most approved and sterling Companies. The Foreign Loans also, which are now so much des pressed, have taken out of circulation a large pro portion of the capital of the country, at that time extended by the enormous issues of the Bank, which have since been so materially contracted, not merely as compared with the late excess, but even with regard to former periods of average circulation. These are, in our opinion, causes sufficient for the fearful anticipations concerning the settling of the Account this day : and it must be a work of time before the Markets can regain any thing like a firm state ; they may tem porarily rally, but we apprehend a lengthened period will be required to restore quotations to the height of last year. The report was renewed that the interest on Exchequer Bills would be raised. Consols opened for this Account at 85 sellers, and they closed at 8-Ik.f, making a de crease in their value of per cent. in the course of the flay. Bargains were done latterly f or th e January Account a t 84k . The Foreign Market had less business doing in it than it has had for some days past, and prices were generally lower. Colombian Bonds were 638, 4 ; Mexican ditto, 6824; Guatemala Scrip, 5-f- 6 dis. ; Brazilian ditto, 13, 121 dis.; and Spanish Bonds, 16, 154. There was no public sale of Coffee yesterday,and the Sugar Market was under considerable de pression. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Lord Norbury has delivered a charge to the Jury on a trial concerning the right of presenta ttion of a living in Ulster, contested between the Primate and Trinity College, Dublin. The learned personage has mixed up, as is his use, a very unnecessary proportion of politics and plea santry with his law, and both the politics and the pleasantry are of an irritating character. His Lord ship seems indeed to think that the right way of charging an Irish Jury is to charge it as he would charge a gun—with combustibles, the politics serv ing-as powder, to give activity to the law, which he rams down as ball after them. The whole thread of the charge before us is a series of allusions to things which can never be adverted to without exciting that spirit which is the bane of Ireland. The way in which the Learned Lord alludes to these strife-stirring topics, and in the same breath deprecates the allusion, is whimsical anough ; and, to make the matter more strikingly unseemly, the strife-stirring topics are first introduced under cover of an observation on the great advantage of " It gives me pain to see such high Jersonages brought I,?y any circumstances mto conflict—particularly at a time like the prepenf—when their union, exertion, and co-operation are so necessary to this court try, which, though at peace, is not free from seditious agitation, on subject not remote from that before us. I will not condescend to allude to things beyond your sphere. I will not contaminate the great consideration of your duty, by adverting to topics removed from its course." Why certainly his Lordship was not required to allude to things beyond the sphere of the Jury, but of his own accord he had gone out of his way to do so in the preceding sentence. —lt is, however, a common trick with garrulous and censorious folks to say things that ought not to be said, under cover of a resolution not to say them •-•;- Lord Norbury then proceeded to give the Jury a lesson in Irish history, and wherehe would have travel led to, Heaven only knows, had not Mr. Holmes, the Counsel for the Primate, stopped his Lord ship when about to read to the Jury an account of the local situation of their county from Sir John Davis ; upon this interruption his Lord ship waxed Avaggish on Mr. Holmes, and pursued him with petulant pleasantries through the rest of his speech, which is remarkable for all the characteristics of: gossip —much loose talking, bad jests, and no good nature. We would ask any dispassionate man to read the report of this judicial charge, and to say- whether such things should be, whether it is becoming that justice should be administered in this style, even in Ireland. Our contemporary of The Globe observes, that " the Noble Person is too old to change—but, perhaps, not to be changed." unio❑ :_1 PENAL CODE.—The Act of Queen Elizabeth, which made it a capital offence for any person above the age of fourteen to be found associating for a month with Gypsies, was executed so far down as the middle of the seventeenth century. Lord Hale mentions 13 persons having in his time been executed upon it at one assizes. In the reign of Henry VIII., RollinEhed says that 72,000 persons died by the hands of the execu tioner. In Elizabeth's reign 400 persons, at least, were annually executed. In a remonstrance `made in her reign by Lord Keeper Sir Nicholas Bacon to the Parliament, he says, " It remains to see in whose default this is" (the laxity of the law); " for certain it is, that her Majesty leaveth nothing undone meet for'her to do for the execu tion of the laws." EXAMINATION OF STANLEY DE COURCY IRE LAND, ON A CHARGE OF SWINDLING. MARY-LE -BONNE Police Office was yesterday completely filled with tradesmen from the west end of the town. Soon after eleven o'clock Richard Martin, Esq. M.P. and Captain Fitzgerald, a County Magistrate, entered the office, and by Mr. Rawlinson's desire Ireland was brought in. He looked very dejected. His appearance, altogether, seemed that of a mind completely subdued, his dress is extremely shabby. Mr. John Price, the attorney, appeared for him. Mr, Cavalier, of Bell-yard, Drury-lane, said a person who went by the name of Jones, some time since passed upon him a 31. Bristol note, of the late bank of Sanson and Co. which had stopped payment some years since. He would not swear to the person. His daughter, he believed, could identify him. Ireland totally disclaimed any such act. Mr. RAWLINSON told Mr. Cavalier he might bring his daughter forward at another opportunity. 'Wm. A lderton, clerk to Mr. Marsh, home agent, of Park. Street, deposed that Ireland in the first week of September came to Mr. Marsh's house, and said he wanted a Mansion. Several cards with the particulars of houses were shown to him. He again called in some days after, and selected the Mansion of Captain Burton, 91, Gloucester-place, and agreed to take it for one year, at the rental of 450 guineas. RAwnusrsoN—Did alt this go on without his saying who or what he was ? Witness—No, Sir, he said he was from Dublin, and men tioned the names of some highly respectable persons, with whom he said he was connected ; he said he could refer to Lady Stanley, hut her Ladyship was out of town. He then gave a reference to Colonel Martin, M.P. for Galway, who, in answer to the inquiry made by letter to him, said he knew Mr. Ireland to be a respectable man, and able to pay any thing he contracted. In consequence of this the agreement was drawn up and signed by Mr. Marsh, on the one hand, and Ireland upon the other, and was indorsed by the wit ness. The agreement was here read. Ireland then obtained possession of the house, but some time after Mrs. Marsh, sus pecting all was not right, applied to Mr. Martin, and that Hon. Gentleman accompanied her to Gloucester-place, and had an interview with Ireland, who, upon his solicitation, agreed to give up possession if he was allowed two days to regu- Late his papers. The witness looked over the inventory and found a number of things missing, and upon making applica tion to Ireland he gave six pawnbrokes's duplicates for glass and hooks. Upon the Ist of October Mrs. Marsh got alarmed, and at about five o'clock in the afternoon she desired the witness to let Ireland go abouthis business ; accordingly the witness let him out the back way. The female prisoner went away some time in the evening. She signed her name to the inventory " Jane Gordon," and acted as housekeeper. The letter pro duced is her hand-writing. Mr. RawuNsoN—Are you quite sure he said he took-the house for himself ? Witness—Yes, Sir, I am ; he took it upon his own respon sibility, and said he was about to bring his wife and family from Dublin. The name of Ponsonby was not mentioned at all. Mr. RAwir.rNsoN asked the witness how Mr. Marsh came first to suspect his tenant. Witness —Mrs. Burton, the lady of Captain Burton, wrote to Mrs Marsh, stating, that she had taken the trouble to make some inquiries about him in Dublin, and had ascertained Gtr Dr. Ireland, his brother, that he was not aware of his trrether having taken any large house in London. The recommendatory note of Mr. Martin to Mr. Marsh was here put in and read; it was as follows : " DEAR Stn—l know Ireland to be respectable,, and be lieve him able to pay what he contracts. " Your humble servant, (Signed) " R. MARTIN." R. Martin, Esq. M. P. was then sworn, and said—The fact is as stated by the witness; I did give the reference. Mr. RAWLINSON—Do you know Mr. Ireland ? Mr. Martin—Please your Worship, I have known him for many years, and know that he was proprietor of exten sive quarries in Galway, but I lost sight of him for some time before he took this house. His letters came under cover to me, as I . am persecuted by other people's letters.— I have numbers of letters directed to hint. He came to my place; and I saw him only for a moment; during that moment he told me he had orders to take a house, and until he mentioned cursorily, I think it was the name of Ponsonby for whom he said the house was, I must con fess I thought it a little extraordinary and inexplicable how a man like him, who had more dealings in Ireland than in Eng land, could want a large house, but upon considering that he very likely wished.to make money by letting it again, I con fess I took no further trouble, as I believed him abundantly sol vent. Mr. RAwerNsosr—Abundantly solvent ! Will you have the kindness to state how so ? Mr. Martin—l thank you, Sir, I will. I know him to be the proprietor of Sir John, or Valentine Blake's quarries. Mr. Rawr.rNsos;—How could he be the proprietor of those quarries if they beloifged to Sir John ? Mr. Martin—l may, Sir, hate misapplied a term; b u t I mean to say he rent e d t h e quarries, and of course they were his while 'he held them. Mr. RAWL INS 0 N—We only wish you to state how you con sidered Ireland a man of' property and able to pay for this house ? Captain Fitzgerald —Say what you know of him, and when and where. Mr. Martin (bowing very low)—I am extremely obliged to the Bench for this line of interrogation, and, if I understand uright, I am desired to state how I considered hint a person of property, and whether able to pay for this house. In answer to that I will say. if I were asked whether his property was such that he could himself live in and occupy this house, I would certainly say not; but as I considered, at the time I gave the reference, that he was taking it for another person, I am of opinion his resources were quite adequate to the under taking. Mr. RAWLINSON—DO I understand the Hon. Gentleman to mean that he considered the prisoner was taking the house for another person ? Mr. Martin —Most certainly, Sir, that is how I wish to be understood. lam asked that question, and do consider t oy answer definitive. Knowing he held the quarries at a very low rent, and that they were in full work, and that he was getting 81.. per ton for the marble, I thought him a solvent man • and, upon my honour, when he called upo n me , I really believed him to be in a c t ua l possession of the quarries. I have been to Messrs. Francis and White's works, and seen a quantity of marble there which he said belonged to him. I saw him there once. He said he had marble in Liverpool as well as in London. :fir. RAwnixsoN—How did you, Sir, will you have the kindness to say, let Mr. Marsh's letter to you on the subject of Ireland get out of your possession; as I have it here among the prisoner's papers ? Mr. Martin—l am extremely indebted to you for asking that question—lreland came to my house and inquired if any refer ence or inquiry had been made about him. I saw him, and handed him Mr. Marsh's letter, which I suppose he put into his pocket. Mr. GORING, solicitor for the prosecution, asked the Hon. Member if the prisoner represented himself as the renter or the proprietor of the quarries ? Mr. Martin—l know him to be the renter; he told me be held the quarries ; I considered that he could pay five times the amount. Mr. RAWLINSON—Did you know, when he was in the habit of calling at your house, of any residence of his in London ? Mr. Martin—l did not, upon my honour. Mr. RAWL II•TSON —His letters were never sent to him ? Mr. Martin—Not to my knowledge ; 1 did not know where to send them. Mr. GORING—You are not sure, Mr. Martin, whether it is Sir John Blake or Valentine Blake Boys that owns the quarries ? Mr. Martin—No, Sir ; it is one or the other of them. Mr. GORING—Where are the quarries situated ? Mr. Martin—ln the county of the town of Galway, and I believe are very valuable. I again repeat, I considered him perfectly solvent. %%Then Mrs. Marsh called upon me end said she believed them swindlers, I went with her to the house, and saw that woman (the prisoner) ; she put on a very modest, de mure look, and indeed looked like a decent woman. Upon my questioning her, she said Mr. Ireland, in her opinion, was a very proper man, and she .believed had a large property. She told me she had lived in the Marquis of Camden's family ; but that part of her representation I consider to be false. That, ir, is all I now of the parties. Mr. Itatintri§orf—You never saw the man who went by the name of Ponsonby? Mr. Martin—Never in my life. Mr. PRICE begged to ask the Hpnourable Member one cr two questions. Mr. Martin—Most assuredly, Sir . ; any thing in the world. Mr. PRICE—rou know Mr. Irelond's family are highly re spectable, and distinguished ? • Mr. Martin—He has some relations of rank : his: family are very respectable. Mr. ParcE—Then his representations upon that score are correct. Having those quarries, don't you kW/thitt se/11 suitsere entailed upon him. .Martin—l think I i heard him expectation; from the law suits. of 3 411 Mr. PRICE —Do you not, I ask You, Sir, knots/ knowledge, that he has those law suits pending ? he had' Mr. Martin—l believe he has, and he told•rne derable expectations from them.' say so mething s b o ' the . b esis Mr. PRlCE—Which probably, Sir. formed which you grounded your reference of his solvencY s 9 h a vel Mr. Martin—Oh dear no, Si*, I cannot 5aY. why I recommended him to theMa us e heati n i Mr. RAWLINSON observed, did not see sv "" the es prisoner's expectations from his law suits had upon sa yitti Mr. PRlcss dift;sred from the worthy M no man, or very few men, entered into a hea v Y e i so d 0 gaged in were of that kind which held out a certainn'cles, out a very powerful motive, and the suits 111 r. 1r... of mate success, and consequent increase of drew - lis ta o LO Mr. Martin observed, his servant was in attendar evidence. q ; Edw• St f; Mr. Martin observed-1 did not, Mr. PRICE—Is not the prisoner related to drag forward the hih connexion of this man , and regal asked that question , I/17 answer is, that he is closely(010 that Hon.
