THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Altracttfrorn the Morning Papers, May 31, 1845• [s.sommtmo castoxlcut.] The Grant to the Doke! of Cumberland was again discussed last night. The Duke does not c►►rtainly owe much to Ministers for the manner in which they have proceeded in his case. It ;I, we believe, no 4ecret that his Royal Highness baa applied for this addition to his income, a n d Mat Prince Leopold, on the contrary, was anxious above all things, that his Sister should receive no additional allowince from Parliament. Mini sters, howeVitr, thirst not appear before Parha m:tat without the Duchess of Kent, and they in. l"isted on declining the aid of Prince Leopold. • This is absolutely inviting attack. Moreover, it is holding up the Prince to the nation as shrink ing from the engagement into which he volun tarily entered, of devoting a small portion of his immense income to the education of the daughter of his own sister. The Prince, of course, dare not complain—he is placed in the very critical position, of having to dread appearing in an avaricious light to the people, and to dread provoking Ministers at the same time, w ho may, evem after having procured for him the of the people, make that ill-will a pretext for reducing him—as they now make the unpopularity of the Duke of Cumber land a ground for placing his sister in the front of the battle. We have already delivered our sentiments on the subject of the allowances to Princes of the blood. As this is a Monarchy and not a Republic, we must take the former with all its concomitants, one of which is the providing for the different branches of the Royal Family in what is deemed a suitable manlier. Inquiry into private character supposes a degree of inferiority which ill accords with any thing like reverence for Royalty ; and it were well if the allowance were to be altogether independent of private character. To he snre a Prince may squander his money, run into debt, and then ap ply to Parliament to be relieved. To guard against an evil of this kind, the incomes of the Royal Family might, like the pensions of soldiers, be declared inalienable. [TII F! T NI El.] Whatever may he the defect' of our repre sentative system, no Englisman need despair of his country ‘Nhile such downright and manly language as characterized the debate of last night can be uttered Without check in the House of Commons, and printed without fear by every newspaper in the kingdom. The Legislative Body never displays greater dignity nor greater usefulness than when it conveys the voice of truth to the ears of Royalty : it thereby asserts the rights which distinguish the free citizen from the Oriental slave, and adds strength to the Mo narchy by proving that its obedience is rational nod voluntary, and not the passive homage of blind servility. The division was as exemplary as the tone of the discussion—the numbers being 12.0 for the grant, 97 against it ; though to the grant was annexed, by the consent of Ministers, and the universal agreement. the humiliating con dition that the child of the Duke of Cumberland is to be separated from his father, unless that should happen which nobody seemed to wish or expect—that the Duke would fix his residence in England. On the subject of Prince Leopold, Mr. Brougham seems to have been authorized to declare, that the Prince was ready and willing to bear the expence of the education of his infant niece. This explanation would have been more sa tisfactory, if it had been stated that the Prince had hitherto expended any part of his income for that purpose. As it is, he may, now that Parliament is about to make the grant, very safely venture on the generosity of expressing such a readiness, when he knows that his offer will not be accept ed. We must not conclude without adding our mite to the praise bestowed on the Duchess of Kent, for her amiable unpretending manners, and discreet and excellent conduct. evr Tim cs.l The Papers respecting slavery and tire Slave Trade, which have been lately presented to Par liament, are at once too voluminous and too in teresting, to be dismissed with a brief notice.— The Correspondence relative to the Slave Trade is divided into two parts. Class A contains the Correspondence with the British Commissioners at Sierra Leone, the Havanna!), Rio de Janei ro, and Surinam ; and Class B contains the Correspondence with Foreign Powers. To this Head also, may be referred the extracts of Correspondence between the Colonial Office and the Governor of the Mauritius, on the State of tire Slave Trade in that quarter, and on the means adopted there for its suppression.-- A large collection of Papers, in continuation of those presented in is also laid before Parliament, in explanation of the measures adopted by his Majesty's Government for welly ' 'rating the condition of the Slave population in the West Indies and adjacent British posses aiflos. The mere recital of these subjects suflice:.: to shew that many matter; of deep interest must be treated of in the papers hero mentioned. The Commissioners tit Sierra Leone, Messrs. Gregory end Hamilton (the former of whom, we regret to say, has since died), furnish a valuable Report of Colony.—_ the state of affairs in sod near that Agriculture, within the limits of the Colony, d oes not afford any article which may be given to the merchant in exchange for European commodities, but a profitable trade has been opened with tire natives in the interior, and the timber trade has Ilisn been cultivated with success. Meantime, slave ships are still to be seen on the coast, must of which are either French, Orwell provided with a French mask, by means of which they elude • the vigilance of the Engliali cruizers. At the Havannah the increase of the Slave Trade ap pears to have been considerable ; the inhabitants • la cissg mostly persuaded that the prosperity of the island depends upon the continuance of the teaffic. From Brazil and Surinam the accounts aresnore favourable, and particular credit seems dae to the Government of the Netherlands for :. sincerity in its engagements to abolish the traffic, This is a brief outline of the contents of the papers in the Correspondence, Class A. The other series of papers we shall notice at a future opportunity. [BRITISH PRESS.] In the Times of yesterday an article was pub lished to prove what we believe every body well knew before it appeared, viz., that the Spanish Government is in a state of extreme distress for want of pecuniary resources. Having promul gated this important discovery, the Editor deem ed it advisable to call the attention of his readers to it in the following words :—" Our readers will " find in another column an official report on the " present state of Spanish finances. We would re " commend an attentive perusal of it to those who " are disposed to contract for a new Spanish loan." —When we first stated that negotiations were in progress for a new Spanish Loan, the Times posi tively, and in the most express terms, contradicted our statement, and declared that Ferdinand was resolved never to acknowledge or consent to pay -the bonds of the Cortes, even as much as the value of the paper on which they were printed. Subsequently, in order to support its credit, the Time: asserted that advices had been received from Madrid, confirming:, "almost to the letter," the declaration it had issued on this subject.-- On the instant we sheaved the utter groundless ness of the pretended information of the Times ; and that journal has prudently been silent from that time until until yesterday, respecting a matter on hicli, either in ignorance, or thro' worse motives, it had endeavoured to mislead the public. Now, when the facts can no longer be concealed, it strives to escape from the moral weight pressing upon it, by sending forth a document exposnig the penury of the Royal Treasury at Ma drid, and accompanying it with advice to " those who are disposed to contract for a new Spanish Loan," to peruse the publica lion attentively. But we are not disposed to suf• fer this shallow but swaggering paper to shuffle itself as easily as it wishes out of the responsibility it has incurred. Let it fairly acknowledge that the articles to which it " pledges its character," were without foundation. If it will not, it must sink uuder the disgrace of convicted falsehood. An artifice so palpable as that of yesterday, will not enable the Times hereafter to talk of the new Spanish loan as one of those events to which it had previously referred, as within the scope of its all-comprehensive knowledge of passing events. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] It appears by accounts from Milan, that an extraordinary Ambassador from the King of Spain was expected there on an " important Mi►sion." The Austrian Minister at the Spanish Court had already arrived at Milan ; hut nothing is said, which could throw a light on the negocia dons to be carried on in that City in the name of the Spanish Government. Should they refer to the claims of that Power on South America, they could be merely intended, we presume, to obtain some pecuniary compensation for the losses it has susta►ned ; for, as to the resumption of sovereignty, even the Court of Madrid would scarcely set up such a pretension at present. Should it be ad vanced, however, under any form, certainly no . other Court would listen to it ; and, as to an in demnity in money, the season is gone by, when the demand could have been reasonably made. It is possible, however, that this mission has no connex ion with the former colonies of Spain ; but may apply to the embarrassing situation in which this Power would be placed, should the King of Por tugal carry into effect the political reforms, with which he has been, it is said, occupied for some time. A. it would be difficult in this to main tain despotism in Spain, perhaps Ferdinand means to call upon the Holy Alliance to interpose its good offices, in order to prevent the danger wits► which he would see himself menaced, if uniformity of rule, or rather misrule, were not kept up in the whole of the Peninsala.— The intelligence respecting the Greeks in these Papers is of the most favourable description. A letter from Augsburg states, that at the depar ture of the last courier from Trieste, a rumour prevailed of a sanguinary battle having been fought in the environs of Motion, in which the Egyptians were signally defeated, and it is ad ded, that a part of them had laid down their arms. Ibrahim Pacha is said to be amongst the prisoners of war. In another place we have given an extract from The Greek Chronicle, in which the most favourable view is presented of the Greek cause up to the middle of April • [MORNING POST.] French Papers to the '29th inst. reached us last night by Express. They continue to give de.. tails of the progress of the King towards Rheims. On Friday last the Duke of Northumberland left Paris for that city with his suite occupying fifteen carriages. It appears that the British Embassy eclipses in splendour those of all the other Sovereigns of the earth. Intelligence from Constantinople, dated May 3, States, that the Cap tain Pacha had sailed with the Turkish fleet, and that his powers were unlimited. It also says that Ibrahim Podia finding it equally impossible to gain ground as to maintain himself in the Morea, had proposed an armistice -and even a capitula tion, in virtue of which he would evacuate that Peninsula and carry back his troops to Candle. This is rendered. highly probable by the arrival of the Grecian fleet from Hydra, which cuttuff his retreat by sea ; whilst lie began to experience a severe want of provisions by land. Con duriottis, the President of the Government of Greece, to whom the proposal had been made 15 said to have required that Ibrahim's whole army should first lay down its arms, and sur render with all its artillery and warlike stores ; that Coron, Modon, and the neighbouring islands, occupied by Egyptian troops, be delivered to the Greeks, and that after this should be done, the Government would decide whether Ibrahim and his army should be sent back to Alex. andria on their entering into a solemn engage.. meat not to serve in future against the Greeks. This reply had given birth to fresh negocia flow, the result of which was not known but which led to the belief that a capitulati, a of tome kind or other would be concluded. We sincerely hope that this intelligence will be con firmed, as the surrender of Ibrahim's army at the opening of this campaign would disable the Turks from undertaking any thing during the rest of the year, and might possibly put an end to the war, by convincing the Porte of the total impossibility of ever regaining the countries which it has lost. [MORNING PIERALD.] The few obser►ations attributed to Lord Li verpool relative to the Quarantine Laws, are, we think, any thing but satisfactory. The Noble Lord is reported to have said, that " the object of the measure now before Parliament was not to do away the Quarantine System altogether,but to abolish so much of it as gave the Dutch a de cided ad►antage over us." We give Ministers great credit for their endeavours to free the com merce of the country from all unnecessary shackles, and should be ourselves the first to condemn their continuance ; but if a question, for instance, were raised, whether we should do away with the buoys, the lighthouses, the pilots, and the other expensive, and, sometimes incon venient, but salutary and necessary restrictions, or rather safe-guards, provided by the Trinity !louse, the very idea would be justly treated as absurd and chimerical. And we confess that we look upon the present intention of interfering and tampering with the Quarantine Laws to be equally so, and at the same time more important. Aud we confess we are some what surprised to see a statesman of Lord Liverpool's judgment holding forth such a rea son. for relaxation as that of counteracting the effects of the less cautionary policy of our Dutch neighbours. There is such adage as fas est ab hoste doceri ; but we never heard of such a thing either in public or private life as a mutal rivalry in discretion. Besides, what actual loss, or in convenience, in a general point of view, has ever been sustained through our present sys tem ? Its details and consequences are well known to those who embark in the particu lar species of commerce to which the re gulations apply : and as to the public, whe ther the articles in question reach the ware houses of the merchant, the shops of the retailer, or th• hands of the consumer, 40 days sooner or later, must be, to the latter at least, a matter of perfect unconcern. To us it seems as if some persons engaged in a particular branch of commerce, who had suffered, or supposed they suffered, from the rivalry of the Dutch, had got the ear of Ministers, and were endeavour ing, to make them, and Parliament, the instru ments of improving their individual speculation at the expense of the general health and safety. If this be so, we trust the project will fail, and that nothing will be conceded. No principle in political economy can be at once more ob vious and important, than the duty imposed upon every Government to protect the health and welfare of its own subjects. Individual cupidity or foreign rivalry can never for a moment stand in competition with such a principle : and it would be far better (but of which there is no danger) that the whole trade from the Levant, and other parts of the world subject to the plague, should be lost to this country, than that we should be exposed to the risk of being overrun by the awful disease, against which, under the blessing of Providence, the Quarantine Laws have hitherto protected us. GENERAL. ASSEMBLY OF SCOTLAND. From Saturday': Gazette.) NVH IT NUL L i MAY 26. The following Address of die General Assembly of the Church of Scotland having been transmitted by James Oclioncar Lord Forbes, his Majesty's Commissioner ' to the Right Honourable Robert Peel, one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, has been by him presented to the King; which Address his Majesty was pleased to receive very graciously : " May it please your Majesty, " The letter with which your Majesty has been pleased to honour as, we have received as a mark of Royal condescension and good will, which demands the strongest expressions of re speetful and grateful attachment from this General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. " We are deeply sensible of the invaluable advantages which we enjoy under your 3lajesty's Government, and we earnestly pray that our future conduct may be so directed by the wisdom which is from above, as to justify the entire confidence which your Majesty has hitherto reposed in our affectionate loyalty to your Person and Government, and our unremitting zeal in the great cause of religion, as the tie which connects the interests of time with the hopes of eternity, and as yielding at once the best security for the honour and stability of the Throne, and the good order and happiness of the people. " We return our warmest thanks for the renewed assurances of your Majesty's unalterabledetermination to uphold the Church of Scotland, in the full enjoyment of all its rights and privileges, and we venture to hope that we shall never forfeit the claims which our predecessors hare established to the favour and autho rity with which the General Assemblies of this Church have been countenanced by your Majesty and your Royal An cestors. " In humble dependence on the aid of Divine Grace to guide us in judgment, and to b estow on us t h e sp i r i t o f meekness and brotherly love, we are fully resolved to avail ourselves of your Majesty's paternal admonition, conveyed in terms so en couraging, by bringing with us to this present Assembly an ardent and sincere desire for the advancement of true religion and pure morality, and by tempering our zeal with candour and moderation ; thus feeling ourselves warranted to rely on your Majesty's firm and hearty co-operation in promoting the success of the counsels and endeavours which it shall be our invariable object to direct to the general good of that portion of the Empire which it committed to our pastoral Cant. " We rejoice in the intelligence of your Majesty's pious reso lution to recommend to the early attention of Parliament the . great deficiency of accommodation felt by your Majesty'. reli giously disposed subjects in sonic parts of Scotland ; and it is our fervent prayer that the deliberative wisdom of the Legisla ture may speedily provide an effectual remedy for so serious An evil, Which, in common with your Majesty, we have long deplored. " The appointment of the Right honourable Lord Forbes, to represJlt your Royal Person in this General Assembly, is received by us as a distinguished proof of your Majesty's re gard for the honour and interest of this National Church. The fidelity, firmness, and prudence which he has displayed in other parts of your Majesty's service. as well as the private worth and amiable qualities which endear him to his country Men, well en title him to a most cordial and respectful welcome from us. " We receive with much gratitude the Royal donation of two twousand pounds, for propagating the Christian Religion in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland ; and we shall study to apply with strict fidelity the sum which has been thus con fided to our management. " That A LMIGIIT Y Got), the Father of our Loan .If.sus CHRIST, may protect your Majesty's person, and guide your Counsels, and that, after a long and happy reign on earth, you may inherit a kingdom which cannot be mov.al, is the earnest prayer of, m a y i t p l ease your M a je s ty, your Majesty's most faithful, m o st o b e di ent, and most loyal.subjects, the Ministers and Elders of th e G enera l A sse mbly of the Church of Scotland.

( From the Journal dci Debate. ) PARTS, MAY 28.—The news of the death of the Duke of Reggio circulated yesterday is happily contradicted to-day. That which appears to have given rise to it was a fall in the environs of his chateau of Jean d'Henri, where he attended to receive her Royal Highness the Duchess of Berri; but on the 16th the Marshal was already perfectly restored. The Dechess of Reggio went to meet her Royal Highness, who alighted in the evening of the 24th at the house of the Marshal, amidst the acclamations of an immense crowd, collected from all parts of the neighbouring country. (From Galignani's Messenger.) We announced some time ago, that several inhabitants of Rheims had made a declaration that when the saint awpoule, which contained the consecrated ointment with which the Kings of France had been annointed for many ages, was broken at the revolution, they collected and carefully preserved a part of it. On Sunday last the depositions of these persons were taken, and the portion of the unction preserved was mixed with some newly consecrated ointment by the Archbishop of Rheims, in the presence of the Clergy and the Chief Magistrates. Minutes made of these proceedings were deposited with the archives of the archbishopric, and the ointment was put into a phial, and then placed in a superb reliquiary of silver gilt, which will be deposited in the tomb of St. Remy as soon as the church in which it stands is in a state to receive it. ( From the Constitutionnel of Saturday, May 28. ) MADRID, MAT 16. ( Private Correspondence.)— The events in Peru seem to have convinced this Government of the necessity of some modification of the system which it has hitherto pursued ; but the Monks and their partisans, who see only themselves in the nation, and dread every concession made to public opinion, not satisfied with the immense influence which they exercise over the mind of the King, employ every kind of intrigue to get their plans supported by the cries of the populace, and hare caused the scenes that took place at Toledo to be renewed at Aranjuez, which scenes caused the famous Decree, for which intrigues are carrying on, to have congratu latory addresses presented to the King. The Government, in vain continues to renew the order to put in execution the famous plan of study, drawn up by Father Martinez ; fresh obstacles daily arise. The Bishop of Ceuta elect has just been sent to visit several Universities, to remove these difficulties, but it is n6t likely that he will succeed better than those who have preceded him with the same powers. The new intendant of the Police has burnt the numerous anonymous informations, and the lists drawn up by his prede cessor of the persons all over the kingdom, known for their political opinions; the lists contained the names of above 80,000, mostly landowners and merchants, whose fate was thus at the mercy of the extravagant caprices of M. Ruffin. M. Recacho has likewise given orders - to omit in the pass port, the notes relative to the opinions and political conduct of the bearer, which his predecessor used to have inserted in them, and which made these passports a kind of letter of proscription, instead of a safe conduct. The Deputies of the Clergy have met by order of the Mi nister of Grace and Justice, to treat on the subsidies to be granted to the Government, and the sale of the seventh of the estates of certain religious orders granted to Charles IV. by Pius VII., and which are not yet sold. But the Minister may be sure that lie will not have this money; he dare not exact it if the Monks resist, for though he can do every thing in their favour, he is quite impotent against them.

SOCIETY FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF ARTS, MANUFACTURES, AND COMMERCE. This Society, constituted for the most liberal purposes, and following up their professions by their acts, yes terday distributed their Prizes at the King's Tkeatre, in the Haymarket, where an audience of upwards of four thousand persons witnessed the ceremony—a ceremony most imposing to an attentive observer, and equally grateful to a feeling heart. Soon after one o'clock, his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussicx, the President, took the Chair; and immediately the company had arranged themselves, the Secretary (:Mr.ArtTH un N), who we were sorry to observe laboured under severe indisposition, commenced an address, explanatory of the origin of the Institution, the great benefits it had conferred on society at large, and the method in which the business was conducted. Th. Rewards adjudged by the Society were then presented to the respective candidates by the Royal President, the parti culars of which we shall insert to-morrow. Those who are as well acquainted with the workings of the Society as we are, will join with us in contributing their testi mony, and their portion of approbation, to the members who toil, and who toil incessantly, from the month of November to that of June, for the public good. The liberality of this nation is too well known, and too much estimated, to require particular re ference to it here ; but it would not be doing justice to the inde pendent and honourable feelings of those who compose this Institution, if the Public were not reminded that their exertions are solely for tke benefit of others. The Society is different, very different, from many of modern date. In giving encou ragement to the Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce of the Country, thousands, and hundred of thousands, indeed millions and more, are benefitted, while Establishments, perhaps eater. tinily more shewy, have little to sweeten their labours be yond the reflection that they have contributed to the superfluous want, of their subscribers. The Royal Academy, and indeed other Institutions professing to encourage and extend a taste for the Polite Arts, have emanated from the phalanx in question ; and it is a grateful feeling to know that the Parent Institution was never in a more prosperous state; it is ever the case, that where liberality reigns, uncontroulled encouragement follows. In an honest indulgence of our admiration of this Society, it would almost appear that we had slighted one (using a term particularly applicable to its MECH•XICAL, and certainly most important branch of the Institution) of its primary wheel:, —we allude to the Royal President,—we need scarcely add, that we mean the Duke of Sussex. It is almost proverbial— sceptics may doubt it, truth will assert it, and experience has proved it—that " the milk of human kindness" flows most abundantly in the veins of the Royal Family. Collectively we are convinced of the fact, and if a solitary instance was requi site to substantiate a broad assertion, the kind, the beneficent nets of the Royal Personage now alluded to, would confirm it. He possesses a warmness of heart which reconciles distinctions, and those who hare the honour, who have the happiness, of knowing his Royal Highness, will bear ample testimony to the correctness, and the justice, of these observations. The distribution was, indeed, a high treat : the Royal Pre sident, whenever opportunity offered, evinced an anxious desire to add to his knowledge of science ;—at the same time it must be remarked, that he moulded his feelings and attentions with the greatest complacency towards the Candidates, in what we consider a minor class of the Society's objects, that of POLITE A a. Indeed, proud as all who have been encouraged by the Society may feel, we have no doubt •tliat they considered the rewards enhanced in value by the kind anti affectionate manner in which they were presented. NVe particularly observed in stances of this when giving the silver ceres medal to Mr. Salis bury, who, by the by, unnecessarily delayed the business of the day, by making a long speech which was quite out of place, and though it did not draw forth proofs of the impatience of the company, occasioned a general feeling that it was their wish the distribution should proceed. To Mr. Roberta, the Royal Duke was particularly complimentary :—lle observed that his appa ratus to enable persons to breathe in air, loaded with smoke and other suffocating vapour. (which it should be mentioned he put on), emanated from the best feelings of humanity, and must prosper under Divine Providence. To Mr. Sturgeon, for his electromagnetic apparatus, he expressed himself highly pleised with the contrivance. To Mr. Ifrockedon, for a mechanical apparatus to assiet!a weak joint, he added his entire appro bation :—This Candidate professionally is an artist, which we mention, because that pursuit is not immediately connected with the more important one of Mechanics. Those, however, who knew his kind heart were not in the least surprised to find him foremost in assistin ,, the infirm. The President addressed Mr. Hardy as brother clock-maker, telling the company he un derstood a little of that sort of work, anti after commending the Candidate for the ingenuity of his invention, concluded by ob serving that few individuals possessed an equal degree of mo desty and honesty of character. We could not but smile at the good-natured observation of the Duke, when a candidate was announced of the name of " Physick," who has before been rewarded by the Society, and who is a very clever youth. The President, with perfect kind ness, speaking of the nausea which the name created, quoted the convincing remark of fair Juliet : " N`'hat's in a name?—that which we call a rose, By any other name would smell as sweet." The Gentlemen who acted as Managers on the occasion are well entitled—we had almost said to a gold medal—certainly to the thanks of the Society for their excellent arrangements anti unceasing attentions to the company. The Exhibition was never so well conducted, and went off to the delight of all present. • We observed on the Stage, and in the Dress Boxes, several of our Nobility and Foreigners of distinction. The Canadian Chiefs and Greek Boys were also present. We feel that we shall not hazard any reflection on our taste, when we remark that we never witnessed a more general assemblage of beauty under the extensive roof of the Opera House. LONDON MARKETS.
