THE.LONDON - JOUILNALS. DAILY • , . ii'xtractaftom the Morning Papers, Nav:3o, 1 82 5 • ITUE•TIME9.] The .notice for calling -, in Exchequer Bills ap peared in .last .night's Gazette. ..This measure, on. the part of •the- Treasury, h 0 been anticipated :before the , c-loseof -yesterday's stock-market, and had a corresponding and favourable effect on the. priees•.of3Consola both.for money. and acceunt.-- The -increase of interest. from lid.. to 2d.per diem ea the amount.of Exchequer Bills about to be re-issued, raises the interest on each 1001. bill horn tee_3l.. Os. 10d. per annum; mak ing an addition of interest .on the whole amount of Exchequer Bills,; if ,calculated- at 4,000,0001:, of about 300,000/. per • annuty. But it is pro 7 bable, from the pressure for money, that a pro-, portiOn—possibly one million, or nearly. so—of the old hills may be called for in Bank-notes : the :bating Exchequer Bills will, in that case,. be. cos. the present reduced- by the amount so .to 'be liquidated, and the new bills passing into thehands of the Bank of England may be after wards thrown into the market, whenever a. suit able moment arrives forcalling in the Bank pa per, which must now be provided by the Trea sury to cover the 'Burn requited. At the same time, let it be observed, that the arriount.of cir enlating medium will be increased in the precise ratiocif the notes or coin to be forthwith issued liern the Treasury ; and that, although a pallia tive of the. existing distress for Money may be found in the like proportion, the remedy is of a nature which, if largely administered, would serve but to aggravate the severity arid to deepen the roots of the disease. It is vain to suppose that the machinery for manufacturing and pushing . in all directions the circulating medium, can be left by Parlia=ment in its present state. We have al ways urged the plan which was last night recom mendr.d by a cotemporary, and supported by many sensfhle observations, for compelling the Bank of England to uncloak itself, and to break from the cover in which it has hitherto enveloped its mul tifarious financial manoeuvres, if it were only to show the world that the conduct of its Directors is • judicious, and its establishment a benefit to the nation, instead of an incumbrance and a wrong. Nor can the secrecy due to the management of private property be pleaded in favour of the Bank of England, whose operations have an effect so prodigious on the market-value of all commodities —from the pound of beef to the estate which fattens it. The Bank of France has started from a point of improvement at which that of England has not, it seems, yet arrived: 'rhis, we have some reason to believe, is felt by one or more of - the King's Ministers. An improvement in the system of country banks is also much to be desir ed : but we shall take another opportunity of discussing this important subject. {THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] The Foreign Journals of yesterday have brought no news of the slightest importance.— The Hamburg!' Papers, which usually publish the latest, as well as the most authentic intelli gence from Russia, merely contain a few data respecting the commerce of Odessa ; and from this circumstance alone the reader would be able to appreciate the rumours that have lately ap pared in the Paris Papers, respecting the de signs of that Power. They have no allusion, corresponding with the theatrical representation, which the 'illoniteur gives of the movements of the Grand DukeConstan tine. This Prince is described as proceeding quietly on his way from Dresden to - Warsaw, in company with his spouse, when he was. met by a Courier, conveying an order to him to proceed with the utmost possible expedi tion to Volhynin, in order to join the Emperor in that province. The impression intended of course to be conveyed is, that Constantine has been sum .-.rorsed by his brother, to head some military operations against the Turkish empire ; but un fortunately for the credit of this speculation, the season of the year is against it in the first place, and, in the next, the return of the Emperor to St. Petersburgh was fixed for the 24th instant. As his Imperial Majesty, all puissant as he is, could not be in two places at the same tune, and as he could not conquer another physical im possibility, that of moving a large army for effective purposes of warfare at the beginning of *inter, we are obliged to conclude that the statement in the. Illoniteur has been put in for theatrical effect alone. It is astonishing with what pertinacity the Continental Papers cling to 'the belief that the Emperor Alexander meditates the invasion of the Turkish Empire, and with what-credulity it is received in general. Every 7efer,.nay, - every month, for the last four years, has this rumour - been revived, and'each time with increased confidence, without assuming additional probability ; and it rests upon ,the same loose grounds at this moment as it did at the onset. If Alekander be the ambitious Prince, whisk many persons imagine, at least they must allow that Ire hits.u . ot . stlon it in this instance.. In fact,the whole of hie•Coodoct, as respects the Porte, has been mark ,ed by singular forbearance ; and, to ascribe this to a timid policy would be an act of inj u sti ce , an d . an instance. of gross ignorance. It would be as wrong , to put it•down to the account of perfect disinterestedness, ,and perhaps the best way of .explaining his conduct would be, to suppose that ,Some other design has had more attractions for him during ,this period thart.the conquest of, the Ottoman. Empire. , Should his ambition, however, alter its present direction, and take the bias which his subjects have long and impatiently desired, there would be more risk in gratifying it than is commonly imagined. In the mean time, we may venture to say, that as long as England is guided by her present liberal Councils, Russia will en s gage in no hostile enterprise apiust Turkey. [WHINING POST.] In a preceding column will be found the pro ceediMzs of the Catholic Association—(see ano ther column, of THE SIN)- - Which the Dublin Eveniiik Post thinks , of, sufficient importance to justify a second edition... In the course of these ®:'Connell, in order to contrast the " libera►ity 'of Catholic States with the conduct of the boast ful English," appealed to the " noble and magnanimous conduct of his Bolivar." Now what is .the liberality displayed by the coun tries at the head of which Bolivar is placed, towards Protestants ? They do not allow them the free public exercise of their religion I They maintain the Catholic Supremacy in all its exclusiveness and tyranny, and even refuse Christian burial in consecrated ground to those Heretics whose blood, exertions, and heroism 'have mainly contrihufed to the establishment of their independence. :Is this the liberality which this ignorant Declaimer desires should be shown towards the Catholics of Ireland ? Would he annihilate at once.the immense privileges which they possess, to reduce tltej to the condition of Protestants in Colombiil - Or.rather has he not betrayed his secret ~meaning and revealed what de.gree•of liberality'we should receive, fro!o Ca tholics,,if, we once suffered them to regain the ascendancy in our triple empire ? [NEW TIMES.) .• Yesterday was another anxious day to 'the va rious speculators and brokers on the Stock Ex change, and the number of transactions reported was to an amazing extent. Consols opened in the morning 81i for money, and 82-1 for the ac count : they , fell below this quotation. Towards the middle of the day, however, the panic which has operated so powerfully on the public mind appeared in some degree to subside, and the Funds experienced a re-action. To show in what a feverish state they were at one part of the day, after a heavy sale they rose suddenly 4 to 1 per cent., and from 824 were quoted 834 g. They, however, did not remain at this price, but de clined to 83, between which and the closing price they continued •t.o fluctuate the 'remainder of the day ; at four o'clock they were 824 for account, and after the close they were done at 82-k for money, and 8344- for the account. The continuation yesterday was as much as 1 : f per cent. Exchequer Bills were at a very low rate of discount. On Monday they closed at 7s. dis. for all descriptions, after haying been at .14s. dis. in the course of the day ; yesterday, however, they suffered a further decline in value ; those of 1,0001. being 18s. dis. ; 5001. and small bills, I 6s. dis. In the course of the afternoon it was cur rently reported that Government had decided to raise the rate of interest on the Exchequer Bills from 1-Id. to 2d. per diem ; but it was some time before the report obtained any credit, as by many it was supposed it could riot be effected without an Order in Council. Before four o'clock, how ever, it was made known by Mr. Hase that such was the determination of Government, who arc ready to pay off the holders of Exchequer Bills upon their presentation at the Bank after a given time. We understand the order came too late o allow many operations in the Money Market in these Securities. The determination of Go vernment with respect to the Exchequer Bills was expected to he in last night's Gazette. The operations in the Foreign Market were to a very considerable extent. Most of the South Ame rican Stock improved towards the latter part of the day. Mexican Bonds advanced from 634 to 64 ; Brazil Scrip is 124 to 131- dis.; Peruvian Bonds, 47 ; Guatemala Scrip, 8 dis. Russian Bonds, 864 ; Spanish Bonds, 15.1 : ; Colombian Bonds, 614 to 63. Greek Bonds appear to be gradually declining ; yesterday they were quoted at 18. French Funds, 5 per Cents. 95f.; Three per Cents. 661. ; Exchange, 10f. 15c.—The Share Market was but badly supplied with purchasers for, the Shares in the different Securities, and they did not support the prices they were quoted at on Monday. Anglo-Mexican were yesterday 25 pm.; Anglo-Chilean, LI dis.; Castellos, pm. ; Haytian, dis. ; New United Mexi can, 9 dis.; Alliance Fire, 24 to 3 pm.; Ans lian,lok pm.; British Rock and Patent Salt, 22 pm.: Canada, JO to 12 pm. ; Rio de la Plata Agriculture, 4 dis. A considerable failure on the Stock Exchange took place yesterday, which has created a considerable sensation. The parties, two partners, some short since, had been ex tremely fortunate, and gained large fortunes in the South American Securities : their failure yes terday is an event deplored by many, as their characters for integrity stand very high. An anecdote related in an Evening Paper is so well known to be correct, that the unfortunate circum stance has excited the commisseration of most persons. There was a very favourable report as to the ultimate state of Sir William Elford and Co.'s (Plymouth Bank) affairs. It is stated, with some degree of confidence, that there will be sufficient funds to liquidate all claims without the land belonging to the partners being sold. Their resources, it is said, have been locked up in mortgages. [MORNING CIIRONICLC, j The City was again yesterday a scene of great agitation. The Bankers and private discounting houses complain bitterly of the Bank. They say, it is impossible for us to tell what the issues of the Bank are ; but we know that we cannot obtain the accommodations on which we cal culated for our best customers, and if the issues are not limited, there is at all events a different distribution of a great part of them. If we had had the least suspicion of the deter mination of the Directors, we should not have given accommodation to many who have a less strong. claim on us than those to whom we are now forced to refuse it. But the Direc tors —burrow. under ground like so many moles —they do not see their own way, and others are led astray bTthem. They are like mariners who carry full sail by night in an unknown sea, uncertain whether the next minute they may not strike against a rock, thereby exposing their own lives, and the lives of their passengers. It was stated on 'Change yesterday, that the assets of the Bank of Sir Wry). Jlford will be more than sufficient to .cover the claims, and that the stop page has_ been occasioned by investments on mortgage. But a_Bank that lends on mortgage, is sinning against the. first principles of the trade.. Assuming, then, this statement to be , correct, it proves. either great ignorance of the principles by which hankers ought to be guided, or a most unwarrantable departure from them.-1 , But it is useless to inveigh against the miscon. duct of particular banks. The great point is to derive a lesson from past mistakes. The country would not be at the discretion of private bankers if the monopoly of the Bank of England did not deprive it of the benefit of establishments, which, from the foundation on which they rest, and the necessity of adhering to principles, would furnish la security against the mischievous speculation of the issuers of notes, who are unaware that money lent on mortgage cannot always be had in time to pay their obligations. The circulation of the country ought not to be at the mercy of every man, who, trusting to mere local influence, chooses to deal in paper. If we do not profit by the severe lesson which we are now receiving, we shall be the most besotted people ever the sun shone upon. The late Dr. James Gregory ob served, in one of his amusing Memorials, that the keeper who allowed his mistress to favour him in a particular manner more than twice, had a fair title to a place in a lunatic asylum. But John Bull has received the favour more than thrice. If he wishes for a continuance of these kind ac commodations, he is incurable. [MORNING HERALD.] Notice, we see, is given of an intention to • apply to Parliament, in the next Session, for a Bill to re-establish Hungerford Market. This would be a great improvement and convenience I to a great part of the metropolis; and is not only one which we have ourselves repeatedly pointed out, but is in unison with the suggestions which we have long urged upon the consideration of those in whose department the furtherance of such objects rests. The professed object, we • see, is to form a fish market on this spot, which would be highly desirable ; but that, to any considerable extent at least, we fear, is hope less, while the Old London Bridge continues to present such an obstruction as it now does to the free and safe passage of the river. But when it is considered how much of the fruit and vegetables with which the Metropolis is supplied now come by water, and how much more would come in the same manner, were there no subsequent land carriage to encounter, we think we may safely predict that this market, established with ample space and under proper regulations, would soon rival Covent-garden, and leave the latter—better adapted, in point of size —to its fair legitimate purposes. We trust that, whatever is done, the whole area will be thrown open both to the Strand and to the river, or, at any rate, ample access made to it on all sides, both for foot-pas sengers as well as for carts and carriages.— To be sure, Northumberland-House, with its heavy prison -like walls and portals, is a sad im. pediment to improvements in that quarter of the town : but if Dukes choose to live in the Strand or Thames-street, who is to dispute their taste ? To return to the proposed market,—on the Thames side much may be done both in point of ornament and utility, without interfering with Colonel Trench's plan, but which, by the bye, we suspect, has descended to the tomb of all the Capulets. Separate stairs of landing-places will of course be constructed for goods and passen gers. That for the latter should be so contrived as to be quite distinct from the Market, yet to be capable of access to it. Indeed, were it to be removed to the bottom of Craven-street, it would be a great improvement over its present situation. Upon the whole, the revival of this market would, we think, be one of the most feasible of the many projects which have of late been started, and one which may be accomplished at no very enormous expence, with a pretty tolerable pro spect of a sure and speedy return. [BRITISH PRESS. 3 Our national literature was perhaps never more at the flood than at this moment, nor was there ever a time when readers were more general or books of value in greater request. And yet the Morning Herald, as if ambitious of making new discoveries, informs the public in its columns of yesterday, that " The Bookselling Trade was never known to be in so depressed a state as at the present time. The Bank of England has refused for the last three weeks to discount any booksel ler's bill." Now we can • positively affirm that this libellous assertion is utterly unfounded. Booksel lers' bills, as such,have not been,in any one instance, refused, but have been discounted with as much readiness as ever. We stated in our paper of yesterday one of the leading causes which have compelled the Bank, in its own defence, to re strict its discounts, independently of the sound policy which justified that measure, as connected with the limitation of the paper currency. No• thing," this journal continues, "can be more con firmatory of the falling off in the bookselling business than the fact of the two principal book sellers, Constable and Murray, having become Number Publishers."—This is truly a marvel lous sample of logical induction.—Because the demand for works of merit is so extensive, among persons of every class, as not only to en. courage the publication of entire works of the most expensive kind, but to create a great sale for them when published in parts ; and because periodical works, which are necessarily brought out in nun►hers, have become so • important a brance of British: literature, that booksellers of the very first repute are engaged in their publica tion, therefore it is i►► proof that the demand for works of literature is on the decline, or—in the ele gant language of this great Longinus—" the book selling business is falling off." Now it may be averred, without fear of contradiction, that the bookselling trade has doubled within the last six or seven years. A work, however expensive, if it has merit, is purchased with an avidity that, tiil of late years, was unexampled. We might pro duce a catalogue of instances, from every book seller of eminence : but one fact may suffice : Messrs. Longman recently published Moore's Life of Sheridan, in one volume 4to. at the price of three, guineas—and, at the end of three days, of the whole edition of one thou sand copies not a single copy was left ! A notable result this of the declining de mand for literature, and of an expiring trade! ! But the Herald, in the depth of its wisdom, not only affirms that the book trade never was so depressed, and that the Bank of England will not discount a bookseller's bill ; it proceeds to reveal the secret of all this decay of business and extinction of credit. The public are shown in a very few words how this sad catastrophe has been brought about. " This state of things has, no doubt, been brought about by the refusal of the respectable Newspapers to put in paragraphs puffing off books, except the word Advertisement' was prefixed to such puf fing advertisements."—We never before heard of newspapers putting paragraphs into newspapers —but let that pass. The republic of letters is concerned only with the cause of this great con cussion in the learned world. The Morning Herald has refused to admit puffs without the notifying prefix! !—This refusal, seems, has well nigh reduced the booksellers to the verge of bankruptcy. It has destroyed their credit with the Bank of England, and brought their trade' to decay!! quis non, Jupiter exclamat, sirnul atque andivit. But malignity is sometimes so glaring as to defeat its own purpose; and we have here a memorable iwstance of it. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MaxsioN-Honst.—Yesterday, a drover was brought be fore the LORD MAYOR, charged by the Rev. Mr. Brougham, one of the members of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with having neglected $o wear his badge. The Reverend Gentleman spoke in strong terms of the cruelties which he raid were still daily perpetrated in Smithfield by the drovers on the poor animals placed tinder their charge. The officers rarely, if ever, interfered, and the difficulty of checking these brutal practices was greatly increased by the non-compliance of the drovers with the Act of Parliament, which required that they should wear badges when on duty. Mr. Scales, a butcher, of Whitechapel, spoke in terms of strong condemnation of the utter inefficiency of the city officers in pre ventiflg outrages and disorders in Smithfield market. They spent their time, he stated, in sauntering round the pavement, leaving the centre of the market wholly unattended. Mr. Brown, the Marshal, and the officers present, denied the state ments of Mr. Scales. Mr. Brougham exhibited to the Lord Mayor an ash stick, which was about 5 feet in length, and as thick as the strongest walking-stick used by old men. It was armed at the end with a nail, rather more than half an inch long. —The Rev. Gentleman begged to ask his Lordship whether he thought that a proper weapon to be used in driving cattle ? The LORD MAYOR replied, that he must confess that if he were driving an ox or a bull, an animal which he believed did not at all times preserve his temper, he should prefer having a weapon for his own defence at least as strong as that exhibited. Every thing would, however, depend upon the mode in which the weapon was used.—As the drover, who was charged with having been without a badge, was not driving cattle at the time he was seen by the Rev. Gentleman, the Lord Mayor dis. charged him. His Lordship expressed his opinion, that the Society had done much good, but he apprehended that the zeal with which the objects were pursued was often immoderate. GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday, Mr. Allcroft, the landlord of the watering-house in the Old Bailey, and Roberts, the waterman of the coach-stand in Smithfield, appeared to answer the com plaint of Wm. Barrow, the engineer of the printing-machine at L a newspaper-office, who alleged, that seeing some coachmen come in with a gentleman who had a considerable quantity of gold about him, and perceiving by their winks and nudges that they intended to rob him, he took the liberty of givingthe gentleman a hint,when the whole body of coachmen fell on him, beat him, and robbed him of 3s. and a handkerchief. He could not identify Roberts as one of the men who struck him. Mr. All croft, in his defence, said, he took care the gentleman should not be robbed, and that the complainant was drunk, quarrel some, and uncontroulably pugnacious. That he said nothing of the loss of the money at first, and that the watchman Offered to search every body in the room to recover the handkerchief, but the complainant declined that course. Sir JAMES SHAw dismissed the complaint, conceiving that the complainant might have lost, though he did not miss, his hankerchief before he entered the house, and because Barrow admitted he could not say any one in particular had struck hiin a single blow. BOW -STREET.—A young fellow, named James Edwards, was brought before Mr. HALLS yesterday; charged on suspicion of having stolen a 101. Bunk note, a gold watch, and other va luables, the property of his late master, Mr. Fryer, of the Upper mall, Hammersmith.—The prisoner had been in Mr. Fryer's service more than t*o years, when, on the 9th of last Septem ber, he was discharged under the following circumstance :—On the evening of that day the house was robbed of the property in question, in such a manner as made it evident that . it was done with the contrivance of some of the servants. The drawers and other places of security had been forced open, and a 101. note, 8 sovereigns, a gold repeating-watch; and several valu able lace dresses taken away. In consequence of this robbery, Mr. Fryer not being able to fix his suspicions upon any one par ticular servant, discharged the whole of them, and nothing fur. ther was heard of the matter until within these few days when it was discovered that the 101. note had been offered in payment for some articles of drapery at the shop of Mr. Rawlins, in Oxford street, by the prisoner's mother-in-law, and upon being ques tioned, she admitted that the prisoner had employed her to get it changed, and had instructed her to give a false name and address. The prisoner was committed for trial, and his mother in-law was held to bail for her appearance to give evidence. MARYLEBONE.—Yesterday William Thurlow, an appren tice to Mr. Fen wick, a farrier, of Marylebone-lane, was charged with cruelty to one of Lord Templetown's horses.—Mr. Fen wick stated, that he had several times seen the prisoner treat the horses which were brought to his shop in a very cruel man ner, and repeated complaints had been made of the blemishes that horses received while in his shop. He had endeavoured, by every means in his power, to prevent such cruelty, but with. out effect. On Monday, two of Lord Templetown's horses were sent to his farriery, and the moment the prisoner had shoed one of them, he struck the animal on the quarter with a rasp eighteen inches long, and inflicted a deep wound at every blow he made. This account was confirmed by other witnesses.—The prisoner, in his defence, said, that he only struck the horses when in a passion. —Mr. RawLitisorr told Wm, that if he did not apologise to his master, and promise to behave better in fa ture, he would commit hint to prison. —The prisoner imme diately said, he would never again be guilty of such conduct, and he was discharged. MARLBOILOTIGH-STREET.—Yesterday, Helen Kelly, an old woman, the mother of Patrick Doyle, whose wife was tried last Old Bailey Sessions, on a charge of having mur dered him in St. Giles's, was charged with committing an act of vagrancy. The old woman had th ree h a lf- starve d and half naked children with her they were her grand children' and the survivi ng children of the d ecease d Patrick Doyle. It was sworn that she had begged in the Qua. drant, Regent -street. The Magistrate ordered her to be committed for one month ; and the children, in the mean time, to be taken care of in St. Giles's Poor-house. The old woman, on hearing the order for her imprisonment, fell upon her knees, and uttered an exclamation in the Irish language—she looked piteously at the Magistrate, and the children rushed to her, and clung round her. In her agony, she tore nearly all the rags from her half-naked body, and, it required six officers to force the children from her, and to place her in the lock-up-room. BIRTH.
