IDE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts ,front the Morning Papers, July 1, 1825. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Bill for amending the Combination Laws passed the House of Commons last night, and was carried up to the House of Lords, where it is ordered to be read a second time this evening. A great deal of factious opposition has been made to this Bill, than which none more important to the best interests of our manufactures has ever received the approbation of Parliament.. ft is unquestionable, that at this moment large masses of the workmen are under •the guidance and di rection of persons who, by the machinery of dele. gation, continue to exercise an influence equally mischievous and extensive. Those who are practi cally conversant with the state of our trade, know the dangerous consequences that haw resulted from the absurd and insolent extremes to which combinations have been carried. Mr. Ellice stated last night that the silk manufacture—one of the most thriving in the country—was in imminent risk of destruction through evils of this character. We have heard that in like manner several of the established branches of our manufactures have been exposed to considerable loss and danger. No one pretends to justify or excuse the practices in which the workmen have indulged since the re peal of the Combination Laws. No one attempts to deny the injurious effects that must result, both to masters and workmen, from these practices. The single question then that remains, is, how they shall be suppressed, without interfering with.; that perfect freedom which the artisan should enjoy in disposing of his labour. The object of the Bill now before Parliament is chiefly to pre- ; vent the use of " violence to the person, or pro perty, or threats, or intimidation," towards those who may not choose to comply with, or insist up on, the terms which may be required by some of the workmen. Surely there can be no doubt of i the propriety of this measure. Yet the Bill, of which it is the essential part, has been resisted by Mr. Hume and Sir F. Burdett, as if the con-1 stitutional rights of Englishmen were about to be al once and for ever abolished. With regard to Mr. flume's opposition to the Bill, it may be -worth mentioning, in order to disabuse the work men of their reliance on this sturdy champion, that every clause of the Bill is, in accordance with his recorded opinions at a former period, and that since the introduction of the present Bill into Parliament he fully and distinctly gave his assent to its. principle. intem perate language in which he subsequently con ducted his perverse opposition deserves the re probation of every sound and rational friend of the public welfare and tranquillity; and we are convinced that the very -men whose bad passions he endeavoured to inflame, will, when the present excitement has passed away, and the evil practices in question are suppressed, be the first to condemn the tone and spirit in which their supposed interests were defended.— They will have under .this Bill all that they should possess : the unlimited. right of consulting and agreeing together as to the rate of wages they will accept, and the hours of work they will be employed. All that is forbidden is the use of threats and violence, to compel the ais sentient minority of their fellows to labour on the same terms that the majority may think fit to demand. [sv.w Times.] The principles of Free Trade are brought so much into discussion at the present moment, that we feel. it a duty to lay hold of every topic which tends to their illustration. In another part of our Paper we have made some extracts from Lord Grenville's speech to the Levant Company, in February last, recommending the surrender of their Charter. The speech has since been printed ; and as this illustrious Nobleman is compelled by the delicacy of his health to withdraw almost entirely from public business, the rare occurrence of his delivering his senti ments on a great commercial and political que3- lion deserves to attract peculiar notice. his Lord ship is a zealous advocate for those free principles of commerce which his Majesty's Government with such universal approbation is now cultivating.— England (argues his Lordship, with a just na tional pride) was the birth-place of true experi mental and practical philosophy—England first exhibited to the world a splendid fabric of civil and religious liberty—and by England were first developed the invaluable benefits which must arise from a free commercial in tercouse between all the tribes and families of mankind. Nor is the free dom of trade any longer a mere glittering theory, or visionary, dream. We have brought it out into actual operation; we have made it an engine of in calculable profit to our own country and to the world. Much has been done, but it has been done deliberately, gradually, and therefore safely.— Much more yet remains to be done ; for our Legislators and Statesmen have entered upon a long and honourable career, and they will not shrink from pursuing it to the most glorious con summation. The surrender of the Levant Com pany's Charter is one of the nattirnl and neces sary results of the enlightened policy so ably de picted by Lord Grenville. In the-times of the Stuarts, Government thought it did much if it granted . a charter to a body of British Merchants, graciously permitting them to explore new paths of commerce at their own expence, and even to tax themselves for the purpose of paying Mini sters, Consuls, and other Officers properly be longing to the State, and discharging political duties. , While this burthen was improperly thrown upon the Levant Merchants, they were as improperly compensated by a monopoly ex cluding all other British subjects from the Levant trade. The result of the whole was a duty equal to about 3 per cent. on the imports and exports of Levant-goods, . which duty will now wholly cease and be' done away -with..„ The importance of this ; relief may easily .be estimated, when ' We advertto the increased and increasing trade with .the Levant, which-furnished ant export of the fol lowing amuunt in the last three years, viz.:—ln a ad . in 152(4, 182; 1,274, 4 2.371. 1824 } 4397,091.,; atul. the imports have. advanced in a similar proportion.—That su,:h a trade should remain under the restraints of a Charter, was not beneficial to the persons engaged in it; and was ma nifestly detrimental to the country at large. Mr. Canning, therefore, in a letter to the Governor and Company, stated the intention of Government to take upon itself the payment of the Consuls and other political Agents, and of course to put an end to the duties and consulages paid t o th e Company for supporting these officers ; and he concluded by suggesting for their consideration, whether it might not be expedient for them to give up their remaining privileges, as no longer connected with the public interest, and formint, useless and injurious restrictions on trade. This suggestion was adopted on the earnest recommen dation of Lord Grenville, and in conformity with the enlightened principles developed in his speech. [MORNING POST.] The Combination Laws Bill passed the Com mons last night after experiencing several amend ments proposed in the shape of clauses by the Attorney General. The first of these orders that prosecutions under the Bill must corn mence within six months after the commission of the offence. The next limits the imprison ments of refractory witnesses to three months ; 1 and the third and most important of all gives to the individual convicted a right of appeal to the Quarter Sessions, upon loving sureties to the amount of 101. for himself, and two more in 101. each ; but upon conviction at the Quarter Sessions the offender is to pay the costs. A new preamble proposed by Mr. Calcraft was also substituted for the original one, as more explanatory of the nature and objects of the Bill.—Mr. Littleton postponed to the next Session, the further consideration of the question respecting the management of private business, in compliance with the wish of many Members who thought the subject of too much import ance to be hastily settled.—ln the Lords the Earl of Liverpool moved the second reading of the Customs Duties Consolidation Bill, and ex plained its objects to the House. The only part which struck us as being an addition to what Mr. Iluskisson described as the objects of the measure in the Commons, was the retention of a power to encrease to the amount of 5 per cent. the im portation duties on the goods of any country, the Government of which, not content with refusing us a reciprocity of advantages, should display a gross partiality against our trade. This is a very wise provision, and will greatly contribute to en sure us that reciprocity which we do not demand, but which we have a just right to expect. The Noble Earl also announced that he should early next Session propose the reversal of several at hinders, in addition to those which have already been the object of Parliamentary legislation. Contrary to the expectation of Ministers, the !louse of Commons seas not last night ready for the proposed adjournment. [THE TIMES.] One consequence of the mania for speculation in shares is seldom adverted to, although a serions one to the regular merchant and fair trader. We allude to the borrowing money on them, as the technical term is, " on continuation," and which may be thus explained to those not conversant with the various modes of doing business in Lon don. A speculator, who believes that the shares in a partinilar undertaking will hereafter increase very materially in value, but who is unable to ac quire them by real purchase, buys for a dis tant period, and when that arrives carries them or continues them for another period, borrowing money to pay for them, and pledg ing them es security. Such has been the demand in the city, owing to the extent of the speculations, for this species of accommoda tion, that a very high rate of interest has been charged, far beyond that authorized, in common money transactions, by law. It is not un common for speculators to give in this mode 20, 30, or even 50 per cent. for the conti nuation, and capitalists have found the tempta tion to appropriate their money to such use so irresistible, that it has become extremely diffi cult for the merchant or tradesman to raise mo ney at the rate of 5 per cent. 'We are induced to call the attention to the practice for two rea sons-Ist, that as no speculations arrive at a successful termination which are supported by borrowing money at so exorbitant a rate of inte rest, a crisis in the money-market must arise from perseverance in the practice ; and 2d, that the transaction appears to us to be clearly within the scope of the Usury Laws, and that many wealthy individuals who now appropriate their capital in this manner, might be ruined as well as disgrac ed by a conviction under those laws. The mere exposure which even an unsuccessful prosecution would carry with it, ought to be dreaded by all men of character. [MORNING HERALD. J There is something suspiciously inconsistent in the exclusive zeal with which abuses are hunted down in the Court of Chancery. We suspect abundant matter of complaint would he found in another, inferior, but most important jurisdiction --the Ecclesiastical. The Chancery does not and cannot exceed these Courts in protracted litigation and enormous costs ; and the num ber - of ruined suitors is at least equal in proportion. It is not long since a motion was made by Counsel in one of these Courts for a statement of the costs in a particular cause. The motion was refused as informal, but the object seemed to be to ascertain what the costs in this .cause had been. ft appeared, from the statement of Counsel, that though the ex pences nominally were but a few hundreds, they would be found, if the bills of costs of the Proc tors were ordered to be produced, to amount to 'considerably more, in reality, than as many . thou sands. How far the expence may be reduced is, perhaps, doubtful. A great part, however, it may .be observed, a r i ses f rom l arge f ees t o C ou nsel, -where. postponements take place and nothing has , been done. Bat_ delay may obviously be avoided. A Court th a t s it s -only- iii term—hut anei day in the week, aud sometimes only for a -aliery few- hours, i n th a t w e ekly sitting, can, mike but little progress, especially %%here con jugal litigation is, from some cause or other, greatly on the increase. These Courts should, in truth, be even more carefully watched than any other. In suits between husband and wife, the husband has to pay the costs on both sides at every step of the proceeding. if to be wealthy, or at all in solvent circumstances, the lady will of course easily find a Proctor to under take her cause, and, perhaps, interested advisers to bring her husband and herself into Court.— Upon the whole, it may be said that inquiry and reform are quite as much called for here as in any other quarter. If the hardships have been less obtrusive upon the public notice, it is only because the cases are fewer, and the busi ness is not witnessed by, or brought before the public so generally as in the other Courts. ~TI.LF. PUBLIC LEDGER.? The most contradictory statements continue to be given with respect to the affairs of Greece. The Greeks, who are in this country, still speak in the most confident terms of the success both of their military and naval operations, and in conformity of this, adduce advices from different quarters. On the other hand, a letter from Zante, received yesterday by a respectable House in the City, draws a most deplorable picture of the situation of the Greeks. It mentions the capture of Nayarit] as certain, and relates some particulars of the conduct of Ibrahim Paella towards his prisoners generally, which show that he has no thing of the barbarian but the name. The troops, who composed the garrison of Navarin, he is said to have treated with the utmost humanity, and to have engaged neutral shipping to convey them to a place of greater safety. if this accou►it be correct, which places him in the double light of a generous enemy and an able politician, it would prepare us for further and greater success on his part. These anticipations, too, are the more likely to he fulfilled, if it be true, as the letter states, that disunion and even treachery have made alarming progress in the ranks of the Greeks. In support of this charge, it is stated that Pietro Bey has gone over, with his troops, to the enemy, and that another corps, which was employed in the blockade of Patras, has followed this disgraceful example. The same letter speaks of the flight of a person, who filled a conspicuous post at Missolong-hi, and who car ried off with him a large sum of the public money. These statements, painful as they are, are still pro bable, on account of the numerous partizans that Colocotroni has in the Morea,and whoare probably mare eager to revenge his overthrow, than to op pose au enemy, who employs gold, promises, and caresses in profusion, and who is capable of using the most vigorous means if these fail. The letter, however, contains a partial admission of the de feat of the Egyptian fleet at Coron. A frigate and a brig, besides some transports, were ,de stroyed on the occasion by means of the Greek fire-ships. But, when the rest of the fleet got out of the harbour, they proceeded to attack the Greeks, who are said to have fled precipi tately. This statement certainly explains what was before unintelligible in the official accounts published by the Greeks ; for the uncertainty in which it loft the subsequent movements of Admi ral Miaulis, was utterly irreconcileable with his claims to a decisive victory. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Mr. Brougham did himself great honour by the eloquent and manly manner in which, on present. lug a petition from Richard Carlile, he repro bated the sentence under which that individual had so long suffered. His arguments were a very apposite commentary on the beautiful passage in his inaugural discourse at Glasgow, printed at the request of the principal Professors and Students of that University, and therefore adopted by that learned and highly respect. able body : " The great truth has finally gone forth to all the ends of the earth,—that man shall no more render account to roan for his be. lief, over which he had himself no controul. Henceforward, nothing shall prevail upon us to praise or to blame any one for that which he can no more change than he can the hue of his skin or the height of his stature." It is the more meritorious in Mr. Brougham, and the Uni versity of Glasgow, to adopt so liberal a princi ple, that the nation in generaris, we believe, far from being ripe for it. W e are reproached even by the Quarterly Review, in the last number, with being one of the most intoleraant nations in Europe ; a singular circumstance, when it is considered that the philosophy of Europe re ceived its strongest impulse from the philo sophers of England. Th e pun i s h men t award ed to C ar lil e is, no d oubt, worse t h an death, and therefore we do not give the Judges who s en t ence d hi m credit for mercy, i n not sentencing him to the stake. They might have done so with safety, for w e firmly believe, that if Carlile had been sentenced to the flames they would have pleased a very great part of the population of England. Let us hope that kinder views will at length prevail,—that whatever men may think of any opinions, they will not wish to sentence those who en tertain them to punishments as severe as any which can be inflicted by the Inquisition. To shew the difference between punishment when awarded by dispassionate Legislation, and punishment award ed as in the case in question, we shall quote the enactments on the subject in the Prussian Code, drawn up during the reign of the present religious Monarch : " §214. Whoever insults the religious bodies adopted by the State, by abuse in public discourses or writings, or by offensive acts and gestures, shall be subject to an imprison ment of from four weeks to six months, in a Prison or House of Correction. " § 217. Whoever, by coarse invectives against Goo (bias- PhernY), pronounced publicly, gives occasion to general offence, hall be imprisoned for from two to six months, and then be instructed respectirig his duties and the magnitude of his offence." That the sentence was contrary to law, we do not for a moment doubt. Mr. Brougham quotes Sir Edward Coke to shew that blasphemy was .not an offence at Common Law. In the Eccle-. siastical Code of every country of Europe, it ranks below heresy, and the law of England bas left,heresy, the heavier offence, entirely to (I w . Ecelesiastical Courts. Our forefathers, rude as they were, pUnished heresy only with fire when the offender would not tezaut his errors.—ln every age there is some offence against the pu nishment of which few men will dare to raise their voice. Woe to the unhappy victim if he falls i n t o certa i n h an d s, f or w h ere p u bl ic opinion affords no check mercy will seldom be known. But still, though the Judges who pro. flounced this awful punishment have nothing to dread from public opinion, while those who chal lenge them have, it is lamentable to think that men should be such wild beasts to each other—that the ass, whose will comes in contact with that of its owner, should be protected by a Martin and thousands of followers, there are none to raise their voice against the horrid punishment of an imprisonment for life for an unfortunate human being. FOR THE SUN. PUGILISM. Mit. EDlTOR—Boxing bears some resemblance to the gladiatorial exhibitions of 114 e Romans, which derived their origin from the ancient cus tom of the Heathens sacrificing their own species at the death of their great men, under the im pression of propitiating and satisfying their ghosts with human blood. The brutal candidates at these games became, at length, so numerous, that Julius Ca3sar, sensible of the dangerous consequences which a corrup. tion of that nature might produce, ordered, that only a certain number of men of this profession should be in Rome at the same time. When these games were first practised the combatants were solely criminals, which was an excuse (though a bad one) for such sights of horror; but what excuse can be offered for the present' system of killing each other in jest ? Our boxers appear to be increasing ; but, it is true, our Nobility and Gentry do not become actual performers, as was the case with the Roman Senators (some time after the institu tion of the gladiatorial shows), nevertheless, they aid and abet, the evil tendency of which is equally as great as if they became the principal actors in such an unnatural strife ; and since they are, or ought to be, better informed than those who, from their station, have not the power of acquiring so much useful information, they should set an example (in this instance, as they do in most others) worthy their superior means of attaining unto knowledge ; the effect of not doing which is, that the lower classes are sure to follow the example of those who are their supe riors, and who, of course, they suppose better informed than themselves ; on this account infe riors do not suspect that their superiors will lead them into error. It is urged in favour of boxing, that it is an athletic exercise, strengthening the body, and rendering it capable of beating the greater fa- tique. ‘Vhat ! nre there no exercises that will accomplish this except disgusting exhibi tions? Numberless, even supposing there were none, the bad effects, far more than counterba- lance the good. 'th e evil results of beating each other to death are manifold, and far from being unimportant ; for, in the first place, it fami liarizes men with spectacles of horror, which are well calculated to subdue the feelings of, hu manity ; feelings, which not only do honour to the nature of man, but which are absolutely -re. quisite to the well-being of the nation. I fear the gentler part of our nature has not found an habitation in the breasts of some ; as no slender proof of which, witness the reception by some men of Mr. Martin's humane endeavours (who deserves the praise of every honest well-wisher to his country), which, I think, unless humanity be on the wane, would receive no opposition, but be met in a different and more worthy manner. Extinguish humanity, arid the effects will be such, that the mind, by becoming callous, will be capable of conceiving and r recutiag the most inhuman actions. This is most unquestionably true; for the mind, by being frequently exer cised in the same employment, becomes habitu ated thereunto : at first, perhaps, abhorring it ; by degrees enduring it ; and at length, delighting in it. Such is our frame, and constitution, that we are, generally speaking, sure to tolerate, if not avowedly to praise, that which we have been long accustomed to hear extolled. '!'here are exceptions, no doubt ; for I think, no,length of time, no praise, no arguments, could convince me of the good effects of the anti-humane system of boxing. It may 'strengthen the body, but it enervates the mind, by paralyzing the fine feel ing-, thereby reducing man to a worse state than that of the brute creation. At the same time that a blow is aimed at mo rality, a secret wound is 'given to liberty, for. without the one the other cannot exist ; and there is no surer way to the extinction of morality than to permit exhibitions tending to subdue humanity ; and nothing can more effectually ac complish this than pugilistic contests, which draw, together a great concourse of people,and which, I conceive, from the nature of what they go to see, must be composed of lovers of cruelty, pick pockets, and the most debased of the human kind And is this assemblage to be counte minced by rank, fashion, and fortune ? If i t was ilot, it would in time cease to be fashionable to see one man deliberately beat another till he . dies; thus would one of the seminaries of rogues and vagobouds be eradicated.

It may, perhaps, be said by the delighters in ferocity, that a law of this description would sup press one of the amusements of the people ; but this is an insult to the people, for it can-only be arnusemput to those who have discarded the gentMr pa, S such ought not t•, be put-in competition will] qf our nature ; .-the opinions Of those who retuiu a sense . of humanity.

I know not what else can be urged in favour of prize fighting ; but be it what it may, since it is opposed to every principle of morality, it cannot be maintained, unless at the expence of moral and religious obli gations. kis, I confess, true, that the most po lite nations (and to their shame be it spoken), in their highest periods of improvement, have never entirely subdued this unworthy spirit ; but in stead of deserving imitation, this ought to act as an incentive, to our surpassing them. If the 1,2, or 5001. a side, or whatever tl►e stern may be, was given to the pugilist, for the purpose of aiding him to gain an honest liveli hood by his occupation, or to enable him to com mence some business, it would benefit himself, his family, and the community ; himself and his family, by withdrawing him from bad company, and increasing his little store by frugality ; and the community, by making an honest and grate ful man, consequently a good and loyal subsect ; at the same time, it would redound greatly to the honour of the donors : but, alas ! for what is it now given ? to witness an exhibition, from which a barbarous spirit only can deduce satis faction ; and which is, moreover, of a most mis chievous tendency, insomuch, that it withdraws hundreds from their occupations ; this creates idle ness, and idleness crime. That this most shame ful nuisance may be exterminated, is, I doubt not, the hearty desire of many more than, Ramsgate, June 28, 1825. P. V. K. AGRICULTURA I.
