THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extructsfrom the Morning Papers, 0ct.20, 1825. INEW, For the,fast two days the weather 'has been so adverse .that yre, have not received our Usual French Expresses. The German Papers, how ever, arrived last night to the 13th instant, and extracts from them will be found in another co lumn. It is rather curious to observe . , that while English workmen are combining to raise wages, the Dresden Police Authorities are interfering to lower them. Both parties are equally wrong. — Strange ! that mankind cannot be brought to act on the principle of common' honesty. It is dis honest tp.theworkman to Jorce him to take for his work less than the amount of a fair contract between' him and his employer : it is dishonest - to the master to force• him to pay what he cannot af ford, wait .has not contracted to pay. In both instanco, there is a downright robbery. Yet, perhaps,: ; neither the Combination Leaders here, nor the Police Magistrates at Dresden, are sett . - sible ,of the violent injustice of their con duct. -_The Austrian Observer quotes the Hydra Gazettes, and oberves, with some reason, : that it is a little singular these Journals should.not. contain the famous Act invoking the protection of Great Britain,while (oddly enough)' they give at full length the nonsensical Protest of that sapient Gentletnan, Mr. Towniend Wash ington.. .The Greek -- Journalists profess. to be no great proficienti in diPlontacy ; but yet they know' enough -of it, to think Mr. Washington -a great blockhead for his pains. They add a faCt which, if true, serves to write down General Roche, as well as his friend WashingtOn,an ass : it is, that' these, two worthies have ,proposed -an armistice. 0, Time last accounts from Constantinople state that Ibrahim . Pacha; having left 5,000 men to garrison Tripotizza, had moved:%vitb-the main_ body of his army to Modon, there Xci await the reinforcements expected from Egypt.,• TtiO. communications between Tripolizza and Modon was declared to be perfectly free and open. - 710 • r ___ • Ph.ESS.I . Frankfort Papers to the 13th inst. reached our office last, night. We give extracts from them in another column. The Austrian Observer contlifils the observations of the Hydra Gazette on the impe'rtinenkproteSt of General Roche and Mr. Tow tiseolf Washington, against the act of the Greek GOVernment soliciting the protection of Grsat Britain. The writer takes a just view of the relation in . which . the French ana-Ameri can Envoys stood with regard to Greece, and expresses strongly, but with temperance, his sense of theirofffclous and 'offensive interference. It appears, however, that these gentlemen, notwith standing the . ..aVovred sentiments of the Greek Government and people respecting .their inter. meddling Frith matters whidly beyond their. pro vince, spbsetinently thought fit to make applica tion to :Ahrahim Parha for en armistice, which the Egyptian, 'we suppose, interpreting the pro posal to:be an evidence - of the alarm and weak noss Of his adversaries, deemed it expedient to reject, It appears quite certain that Ibrahim has returned to the coast, finding hiMself unable to maintain his position in the interior of the Mores, without reinforcements. „[monivis4 p05r.1 Fq-pch:Papars to the l7th instant reached us lascnight by express. They have broughr intel ligence from Zante to the 9.3,1 of September. A report was current at that time that Ibrahim' Pacha had been assassinated by rt• Candiote Turk”. Theist intelligence from Constantinople states that the Porte felt much alarm at the movements made by Russian army in Bessarabia. The flospodar. of Moldavia had sent to the Divan for directions hpw . tO act when the Emperor of Rus sia-should.prrive at the Russian head-quarters.— Ile wished to know whether he should send an ,embassy to compliment him, or. whether he slioniti. .repair to him in person. The latter he- wonid.riot. venture to do without explicit instrtlCtions to that effect, as ,it might after wards, be represented as an act of treason to the Porte. The Divan had yet returned no an swer, and in fact knew not what to say, or do, in Alig- fear. of doing either.too little or too much. But,-as we, f!nticipoed, the mere. report of the Emperor Alexander visiting that part of his do min-411s to .puss-his.army in review, had operated a ;: pc‘wercal. diverSion hi favour of Greece, for it had completely crippled the decision of the Porte, and •prevented, it from sending troops to reinforce_ its lotrions COnnpander;..., at the very moment when.the.loss.es they had experienced had almost reduced them to the defensive. and the fate of thg, campaign began to torryig..itist them. Red schidTacha had .removed his head quarters to Vrnchori, AO, had himself retired to Arta, whilst his firmy, wa s. A liminishiag every day. For the Albanians, -of .

Ibrahim P,acha was said to be looking for winter qUarteri -for his troops, as if he ,bouid expect that a Greek winter would,,preventthe Moreaus from carryi n g , ots the: guerilla warfare, from which he has al ready so dr,eply sulTered. We heard, some time since that the palace, of Orner .

As usual, however, in such cases amongst Barbarians, the chief damage fell on the peaceful inhabitants of the place, whose lives were not spared by either party during the contest, and whose pro perty was pillaged by . the victors. " Omer Brionis," say these accounts, " has triumphed, but he remains encamped on a volcano. The Porte will congratulate him publicly, but.neyer theless his head will soon decorate the Im perial Palace, unless .he should promptly adopt some effective means of protecting his life."—The letters from Zante state, • that it was not - expected in Greece that England should accept the Protectorate of Greece, which had been offered her. A refuial had been anti cipated and even calculated upOo; but it had been considered that it would enable her to put herself at the head of all -the negociations which might take place between the Allied Monarchs on the subject of Greek Independence, and that it would give her power to interpose whenever the occasion might require ; for it was known," we are told, " that Great Britain, mistress as she was of the lonian Islands, would also become , mistress of the destinies of Greece." - [THE TIMES.? We received last night the French papers of Sunday, which supply few articles of intelligence. The ilioniteur contains an official report of the state of the revenue of France for the first nine months of ibis year, similar to our quarterly ac counts. The produce for the first Three-quarters of 1824 amounted 'to 766,773,000 francs (or . 30,670,9201.), and that for the same period in . 1825 to 779,101,000 francs. There has been an increase of .more than half a million sterling in the Cour3e of nine montlis,a truth that might have beet; rendered more consoling by an equality or a diminution in the expenditure. This is, how ever, so far frOM being the case, that in the course of the last nine months the public debt of France has been increased by the large sum of forty mil lions sterling voted to the emigrants. An order of the King of Prussia, directed to the authorities of his Rhenish provinces, prohibits the Roman "Catholic priests from exacting, previous to the celebration of marriage between parents of diffe.' rent 'sects, a: promise that the offspring should be brought up in the Roman Catholic system. It would appear that the .bigotry of many of the priests- had led them to require this uulaWful en gagement. It was partly in order to get at the real truth, that we published on Tuesday a very suspicious 'looking paragraph, taken from another paper, respecting the Baron Bergami. \V have since learned' from undoubted authority, that this per son was'at Pesaro et month since, and it was" un derstood he wets going shortly to Rome with his wife and' daughter to place the latter in a convent for her education,—(/bid.) `MORNING CHRONICLE.] 4e'cordirig to recent ad vices received at Rio de Janeiro, from Upper Peru, it would seem that verrstron4 effort was made to excite unfavour able. impressions in the mind =of General Bolivar, when on his road to Cuzco, respecting the Bri tish, and also to point out to him the destructive effects of opening the Ports of Peru to foreign trade ;' but more particularly that from England. In Puarcarcolla and Quiquisana,a few leagues from Cuzco, a number of Peruvians •had assembled for the - :express purpose of:Meeting the Liberator, in order to lay before him a report on the ruined state bf the c'otton'end woollen manufactures of Upper Terri. Corroborative saternents of the number of families formerly supported by this species of industry were presented to him, from which it appeared that upwards of 10,000 looms were standing still, a misfortune attributed entirely to the competition of the British. That our political enemies, as well as those of the independence of South America, will ever he ready to lay at our door a large portion of the misfortunes which ine vitably 'must attend so great an enterprise as the emancipation of a wholeCoutinent in which British subjects have taken so decided a part, might natu rally be expected,but we must take care that this se-1 cret enmity does not extend among the South Ame ricans, for this is a key which the old Spaniards 'and their friends, no doubt, will touch, well dis posed as they are to act the pait of the dog in the mange?. The answer Bolivar 'is said to have given to the Peruvian manufacturers, we do not venture to state, as there may be some partiality in the report before us ; yet, we trust, We shall never see Bolivar among the declared enemies of this country. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] The Installation Address of — the Consultative Junta to the King of Spain, which will be found in a subsequent column, is a curious olio of crawl ing servility and patriotic rant, mixed up with apparent honesty and earnestness of purpose. But ic we remove the scum of courtly adulation, we shall find that the rest is not. so unsavoury ay one might expect, who considered the unfavour able circumstances under which it had been got up. The difficulties of the Monarchy ; the de gradation of Spain in the scale of nations ; the ruin of public credit; the inequality of taxa tion—all these evils, and many more, are can didlY admitted ; and the , necessity of remedial measures is urged with a degree of warmth, which inclines us to augur some good from the labours ,this 4nta. Its very appointment is a slight concession to sound principles, and"spews that Ferdinand, with all his arbitrary notions, is obliged to admit that the mere machinery of despotism, with its rude tools, is unequal to the necessities of his Government and the wants of his People. He has, it may be said, appointed a Stand. log Committee of Reform, with no ample powers, it is true, - to enforce its suggestions, but with full liberty of pointing out the remedies, which it may consider as most suitable in the diseased state of his kingdom. If it does no other good, it will enble the Ministers to carry, many. objects, which they would not venture to propose, much less. to I accomplish, upon their own responsibility ; and, if they are really anxious, as has been stated, to remove the rubbish, which at present obstructs 1 the work of improvement, it is clear they may re ceive great aid from the Consultative Junta. As the latter appears to be one of the lofty emana tions of the Spanish Monarch himself, he will doubtless cherish the offspring off his own brain, and as it shows all filial respect and deference for the august author of its being, it is probable that it will be allowed, at least for some time, to per form its htimble, though eminently useful func tions. Its chief importance, however, in our mind, is the admission it contains, that the despot is not infallible, and that his will alone is not a sufficent beacon to guide the vessel of the State through the dangers by which it is beset on every side. Ferdinand thus acknow ledges one of the greatest vices of arbitrary power, we mean its incapacity to heal the wounds it in flicts, or to help itself out of any of the dan gerous dilemmas occasioned by its own excesses. Ile has absolutely surrendered a part of his power—the Deliberative branch of it ; and though he has retained to himself the right of taking it back at pleasure, he will be cautious, with all his arbitrary propensities, how he uses it, when he sees the daggers of the Apostolic Junta uplifted on one side, and the gulph of insolvency yawning before him on the other. Should he get rid therefore of the Consultative Junta, it would only be for the purpose probably of making a much greater departure from the system of pure despotism, and a far closer approximation to a limited Government: tyfORNING lIERALD.I It is not generally known, we believe, that the Trustee of the Kensington Road have con trived, by the removal of the turnpike-gate from Hyde Park-corner to Knightsbridge, to exempt themselves from the repair of that part of the road lying between the new and old stations of the gates. This seems to be most unreasonable and unjust. In what part of the kingdom is there another instance of the kind, or what pre tence can there be for saying that because a toll bar is not placed at the exact commencement of a road, therefore all the, part of the road be fore arriving at the gate shall be thrown upon the parish ? Either, the gates should he done away with altogether, or the tolls applied in repairing the whole of the road as heretofore. Yet this is done, while the public are openly plundered and insulted by the audacious vagabonds whom the lessees of the tolls place at the different stations, under the eye of those very trustees and treasurers, who cling with such loving pertinacity to the col lection of these odious imposts. Nothing can be more injudicious than the selection of the spot to which these gates are removed ; and that they cannot long continue there, notwithstand ing their permanent appearance, we confidently believe. Indeed, their solidity, as we are in. formed, does not arise so much from any expec tation that they will be icing retained, as that the jobs of an expiring system may be made the most of while they last. - To be sure, it would have been more decent, perhaps, to have waited the developement and fate of Lord Lowther's plan, before any thing beyond a temporary turnpike house had been erected. The evils, the injustice, and inconvenience of this system are becoming every day more apparent, awhile those who are struggling for its continuance, instead of do ing all in their power to lessen the odium attached to it, seem rather bent upon in creasing it. —We have published one or two letters from Bayswater, stating that a person cannot go half a mile on that road in a hackney coach, without having as much as the coach fare to pay in turnpikes ; and at the Stone's End in the Borough, it seems that a hackney coach pays on a Sunday is. 3d., in both which instances it would appear that the amount of the tolls is exactly in an inverse ration to the accommodation afforded, or to the injury done to the road by the vehicle thus taxed. The charge on hackney coaches, both on this Bayswater and Knightsbridge roads, seems particularly unjust, because" gentlemen's car riages, going the same distance, only on the other side of the wall within the Park, pay nothing ;I and that one kind of carriages should be able to go to Kensington and pay nothing, while a hack ney coach going to Sloane-street pays a heavy toll, seems absurd and unreasonable. But these, and a multitude of similar instances which might be adduced, only tend to one point, viz, to prove the injustice of there being any toll bars at all, in any of the streets of the metropolis, which many places that a few years ago were not so, are noiv become. It seems to us quite as reasonable that there should be toll-gates in Holborn, in Cheapside, or in the Strand, as in the New Road, in Oid-street, Shoreditch, Pimlico, er Knightsbridge. In short, the whole system re quires revision ; and as the case of most abuses, those who prosper by it, or whose love of power and consequence is gratified by it, instead of re forming it by degrees themselves, and thus taking off the edge of public censure, seem determined to adhere to (hem in all their pruriency, till it falls to pieces at once, or is carried away by the exterminating sweep of general odium and dis gust. The following CenSU5 of the population of a town in the State of New York, principally on ac count of the uncommon minuteness of detail into which it goes, renders it a statistical curiosity Census for the town of Sherborne for 1825 —1 ,239 males, 1,265 females, total 2,504. 213 subject to military duty, 472 voters at elections; 297 married females under the age of 45, 286 unmarried between the ages of 16 and 45, 545 do. under 16, 17 marriages in the year past, 0 male births, 30 female do., 23 male deaths, 13 female do., 40 persons of colour that are no.t taxed, 4 do. that are taxed, 2 do. that are qua lified to vote at elections, 1 foreigner, 11 paupers, 5 idiots, 1 lunatic, 15,643 acres of i►nproved land, 3,139 neat cattle; 736 horses, 10,906 sheep, 4,011 hogs, 5,441 yards of fulled cloth,. manufac tared the: year past, 8,702 yards of flannel do.; 15,304 yards of linen, cotton, and other thin cloths ; 6 grist-mills, 10 saw-mills, 6 fulling mills, 6 carding machines; 2 woollen factories, '2 distilleries, 4 asheries." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. AlitiLini-Hottst.—lnformation was yesterday given to the Loan MAYOR of a new way of raising the wind, and we take the opportunity of as speedily as possible announcing it, afi the charitable , institutions of the metropolis may be imposed upon by similar means, if not cautioned against a plan which is cer tainly very ingenious, and which might in this case have turned out more profitable to the man who hazarded his neck for a mere trifle. The superintendents of the Royal Infirmary for children in Waterloo - -road were waited upon by person, who said his name was Newton, and that he had been commissioned by a Mr. Bailey to:pay into their hands the amount of a legacy 1:-..ft to that institution by the late Mrs. Barnard, of Ipswich. He showed the letter Which he said communicated this instruction to the Secretary, who was gratified at hearing of so kind and liberal a contribution to the funds. it was as follows: " Ipswich, Oct. 3, 1825. " Mr. Newton,— You left home for town before I had fully told you all I wanted you to do. You ought to have come up, to me before you started. You know lam executor for the late Sirs. Francis Barnard, formerly of this place, who died at Mitcham. She has left by her will "15/. to a charitable institu tion called the Royal Infirmary for Children. Waterloo-road. (I understand over Waterloo-bridges) As this .legacy is or dered to he paid immediately, I wish you to go and pay it, and enclose you a bill accepted by bankers in London for that pur pose. This legacy is directed to be paid, free of duty ; so you must ask the Gentlemen, Secretary or Treasurer, to take the trouble to pay the duty for me at the Legacy office, and he can send me the formal receipt when that is done. (Mr. Hammond informs me that can't he done yet, as I have not got the pro bate.) You must, therefore, pay to, the institution 25!. and 2/. 10s., and get the Secretary to acknowledge it to you in one of their printed forms.—YOurs, obediently, " 11. BAILEY." There were two or three lines which were partially erased, but they were intended to favour the imposition, and treated of commercial transactions, viz. the sale of a cargo of wine, which the writer's brother had for sale. The letter contained a bill of exchange for '291. 45., which was dated Ipswich, 11th eighth month, 1825, and drawn upon the house of Fry and Chapman, bankers, Mildred's-court, Poultry, by William Knox, and the words " Accepted Fry and Co." were written across the face. There was-not the slightest suspicion of genuineness of the bill, and the difference between the amount of the pretend ed legacy, including the duty, was handed over with tee most sincere and hearty thanks to the welcome visiter, who pocketed no more than 11. 14s. by this hazardous enterprise, and who certainly might have as safely speculated upon treble that sum. The bill was, we believe, passed into other hands, when it was found that the acceptance was a forgery. Every inquiry, was made into the circumstances mentioned in the letter which con tained the bill, but it was ascertained that the detail was in every particular a fabrication. At the Bull Inn, Aldgate, to which this letter was directed, the landlord knew nothing of the person named Bailey, and it was conjectured that the man who committed the forgery had waited about the door, and taken it from the postman. The LORD MAYOR, who is treasurer to the abovementioned institution, expressed his apprehension that Other institutions had been imposed on in this specious manner. , An unfortunate shipwrecked seamhn applied to the Loan MAYOR for advice. He had been wrecked off Yarmouth, and had neither employment, nor friends, nor money. He said he was starving. The Lonn MAYOR asked him Whether lie had applied to the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck ? The seaman said he had, but was told there that the regu lations of the Society had reference not to those who were saved, but merely to those who were instrumental in saving, and that he had therefore no claim upon the funds of the establishment. The LORD MAYOR said he believed the applicant must have misunderstood the answer given to him. The Institution could not, in his opinion, have such limited operation, but must pro vide some assistance for unfortunate poor fellows whose lives were just saved. The seaman persisted in his statement, and the Lord Mayor sent an officer to the establishment to ascertain the fact. The officer, upon his return, reported that the seaman Was not Mistaken ;---that the funds could not be extended to his case, for the reasons specified. I The LORD MAYOR then suggested an application to the " Seaman's Friend Society," but he was informed that that Society took care of the souls of sailors, but not of their battles. This suggestion was therefore relinquished. His Lordship said he regretted 'that the Institution first al luded to, and to which he was a contributor, did not extend its benefits to the unfortunate shipwrecked. That Institution had certainly done immense service. • It had been long found extremely necessary in consequence of the ferocious system long in practice on parts of the coast, where the most cruel in difference about the dreadful calamity of shipwreck was engen dered by the love of plunder. He rejoiced to learn that the exertions of the Society hail had the effect of introducing a Christian spirit amongst those whose forefathers considered it. excusable to add murder to the list of sufferings which the ship wrecked underwent. He had himself seen an instance some years ago of the old passion' of those on the sea-coast. As he was passing in a boat at Weymouth to look a t the wreck of the Abergivenny . , a dead body floated near the boat, and one of the boatmen immediately seized it, putrid as it was, and shoved his hands into all the pockets.in expectation of plunder. ThiS feeling operated in days of old even among the pious of Corn wall, as was exemplified in the story of the parson there. This parson, while he was preaching, perceived that his flock were stealing out of the church one by one, and guessing that there must have been news of a wreck whispered about, entreated those who remained to stay, as he had some tidings necessary to their salvation to communicate. He had been all this time loosening his gown and band; as soon as he had succeeded in doing which, he bounced from the pulpit, saying, " What I want to tell you is, that in God's name we may all start fair." The barbarous spirit was almost quelled, and the improvement was mainly attributable, in his opinion, to this excellent Socie ty ; but he could not help saying, that it was a great oversight not to assist those whose lives were saved ; and lie trusted that some regulation to that effect would be adopted for that pur pose, or that a distinct society would be established for the bene fit of such sufferers. His Lordship made a practical comment on his own words by most liberally relieving the seamen. Bow-sTrtEET.—Yesterday an information was heard before Mr. HALLS against Lord Listowel, for having his name on a cart in letters of chalk instead of paint, as directed by Act of Parliament. The infortriation was laid by the well-known Johnson, whose men, Stringhall and another, a short time ago saw a cart be longing to his Lordship in the high road, near Kingston-house, Kensington, his Lordship's residence, with " Lord Listowel" chalked upon it. A. solicitor on behalf of the noble defendant at once admitted the offence, and stated that it was entirely owing to ignorance or carelessness on the part of the servants. The cart had been newly painted, and the servants, wanting to remove it only from one field to another, thought it would be sufficient to chalk the name upon it. He merely stated these facts that they might operate in mitigation of the penalty. Mr. HALLS said there was no alternative but to inflict a penalty; but under the circumstances, he should put the very lowest—namely, 40s. and costs. The penalty and costs were immediately paid. Henry Taylor, a known thief, though a mere lad, was brought up, charged with stealing a watch, the property of file. Rose, a watchmaker and jeweller, in the Strand. The prisoner went into the shop yesterday morning, and asked to look at a mourning ring, which he tried on, but it was too large, and be was leaving the shop, when a youn g m a n, named Tokely, who happened to he standing at the door, look. Mg at adouble-barrelled gun, saw him take a watch from the counter, and put it into his pocket. lie seized him by the col lar, as he was issuing from the door, and taking hint back to the shop, the prisoner took the watch from his pocket, and at. tempted to put it among some others that were l y i ng th ere , b u t was prevented by Mr. Thacker, the manager of the business. The prisoner denied taking the watch. lie was fully committed to Newgate for trial. "Thomas Thompson, a journeyman farrier, in the employ of Mr. Wooden, a veterinary surgeon, in Long. Acre, was brought before Sir RICHARD BenstrE, charged under the Combination Act, with deserting and neglecting to finish his work. The de fendant was quite an old man. It appeared by Mr. Woodin's statement, that it is the cus tom in the trade to engage workmen by the week, and it is con sidered imperative upon the journeymen to remain for the week, and equally so upon the master not to discharge the journey. man until the Saturday night. The prisoner was. engaged . for a week, and came on Monday, but left early in the afternoon, and he and the rest of the workmen were getting drunk to gether the whole of Tuesday, and refused to return to their work,• to the great injury of Mr.•Woodin, who was obliged to send several horses away without being attended to, and who lost oneeer two valuable customers in consequence. . .
