I'UE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY _Extracts from the Morning P (Ter's , Aug.3.l, 18'25. [Tut: rußt.r . c LEDGER • The body ,pditiC of Spain, grievously as it is afflicted, has not • yet reached the climax of its suffering ; and, probably, another year, or even two, will elapse, before it arrives. Either history is a tissue of fables, or a favourable change will then occur, when those, who are so cruelly and unjustly oppressed at this moment, will receive the meed of their virtues, and the satellites of a brutal tyranny, the full award of their crimes. in the interval, the nation will be a prey to hor rible dissentions ; and foreign interference, which, under existing circumstances, has an infallible tendency to inflame the pervading discontent, will merely hasten the catastrophe, as well as the mo ment of retributive justice. The French Govern ment, which sees the gathering storm, as its prepa rations clearly indicate, will probably find all its efforts to evade its rage unavailing ; and it is pro per that it should suffer the penalty of its unjust, wanton, and hypocritical interference, if it were only for the purpose of making it a convert to the golden rule, " that honesty is the best po licy." We believe it would cheerfully renounce the military trophies it acquired in Spain, if it could but divest itself of the political responsi bility that has devolved upon it in consequence but the eternal fiat has ordained* that the penalty in these cases should bear an exact proportion to the offence ; and were it not for this salutary ordinance, the proverbial pride and arrogance of power would continually impel. it to make new inroads upon the rights and happiness of mankind. However, if the French Ministers were to evince, even at this late hour, an earnest de sire to make compensation to Spain for the wrongs they have heaped upon her people, they might divert from themselves and their master, if not wholly, at least nearly so, the mortification, as well as appalling embarrassments, which other wise await them. A short time will shew whe ther their policy is founded upon political craft or true wisdom ; and, if they intend merely to prop up the despotic throne they have restored in that country, they will fail, to a moral cer tainty, in the attempt, with every prospect of being grievously injured, if not crushed, by its fall. [Tnr TIMES.] Rumours were afloat in the course of yester day, which went to connect the present appear ances of the money-market, with prospects of po litical change abroad ; but we see no evidence to authenticate such fancies, or to lend them plau sibility. Why should the English funds be af fected by possible enterprises of the French Bourbon Government for the reduction to order and decency of that wild chaos which France herself, by her former expedition, did so much to produce among the Spaniards ? Let a new march across the Pyrenees take what course it may, England has surely no business with it.— If another French army enters the Spanish provinces, whom will it seek for allies ? whom for enemies ? There is no rebel party —there is equally no Government. The whole commm.ity is broken up into frag. merits, which have no assignable relation to each other, whether of obedience, or despondency, or recognized interest, or practical object, The French Cabinet might probably lay hold of the King's person, and use his name, and fight one faction against its neighbour, until all were ex hausted and reduced to inactivity ; and then what follows ? Why, that France would rather be embarrassed by their joint weight, than sup ported or strengthened by any national and uoit ed power. The deeper she plunges into Spain, the more she wastes her resources upon that steril and ungrateful desert. The more she entwines her general policy witlrthe endless con fusion into which, by a mixture of folly, knavery, and misfortune, Spanish affairs haYe been thrown, so much the more difficult will it prove for France to extricate herself from the meshes which she has assisted in weaving, and, Iry consequence, so much the less is England like ly to feel any rational motive for expending a particle of her wealth or power, on a case which, looking to her own immediate interests, she can do nothing to mend. Spain can never be occu pied by France as a province securely convertible to Schemes of French ambition. France loses the people in proportion as she takes possession of their soil. The policy of England is but to look on, and preserve her own means entire. If a plan had been laid for n e utralizing the French Government as an aggressive and suspicious member of the Holy Alliance, and releasing Europe from all present fear of its encroach ments, it was among the most ingenious of designs to fasten Ferdinand, his Monks, his bankruptcies, his Royal volunteers, inept grandees, ambitious brothers, and sullen consti tutionalists, all open the shoulders of Charles X. It is tying his Most Christian Majesty neck and heels, to let him into partnership with Fer dinand. If England had a hostile game to play, this was giving her " four by hoOpues:" She is mad if she stirs an inch, or acts any part' but that of a civil spectator. 'When at a future, perhaps no distant day, the stakes came to be divided, or the losses to be adjusted, England' may arbitrate conclusively if she has the wis dom to refrain from all premature interfe rence. With regard to those domestic causes to which the existing fall of the English funds has been ascribed, we are not satisfied with any that has 'yet been assigned for it. The effect has now been too steady, extensive, and semlng ly uncontrollable, to proceed from such every day tricks or manceuvres of the StoCk-ExChinge as have brought about more. common-place ream'. sions. If, moreover, it shonld be fairly;traCed to the single circumstance of the'Bunk'of Eng land drawing in the paper which thatestablisha [Dent had too profusely issued, the mere stir:- mise is enough to show that the affair's of the Bank ought not to be a mystery any more than those of the King's 'Exchequer, inas much as the public ought to have the satisfac tion of knowing that there is no ponies" cor poration enabled, at the will and pleasure of its own directors, to increase or diminish by 10 per cent. or more the value of every man's pro perty throughout the kingdom—capriciously, or for selfish ends, to raise or lower the interest on capital, and to operate more especially upon the national debt, so as to have produced a difference, during three short months, in the money due to the public creditor, of more than 80 millions. We have stated that there still seems room to doubt as to the real causes of the late fluctuations in the Money market; but at all events the Bank ought to be brought to account ; and induced —or, at the renewal of its charter, forced, to exhibit the principles and consequences of its administration. [BRITISII PRESS.] By the French Papers which arrived last night, it appears, that the Spanish rebel Bessieres was , not made prisoner at the date of the last ad vices from Madrid. In his retreat upon Bri huega, it is stated, that he was accompanied by only 20 men, and at the same time pursued by 60 carabineers. If this statement be correct, no long time can elapse before he will be cap tured. The Royalist Papers, opposed to the Ministry, arp speculating on the objects of the Duke of Wellington's visit to Paris. They insinuate that it was connected with a negotiation for the recognition of the independence of the new American States. It is said, that if king Ferdi nand will concede this point, and establish a re presentative government in the Peninsula, Eng land will agree to provide him with a pecuniary supply for his present wants. The Quotidienne, however, fiercely asserts, it is impossible the French Cabinet can lend themselves to a project so contrary to the true interests of France, and her relations with the Spanish Monarchy." The violence with which this assertion is made indicates strongly the opinion of the writer, that what he declares to be impossible he believes to be already accomplished. Looking at the recent concession to Hayti, it is natural to ex pect that the French Cabinet will lose no time in urging the Spanish Government to remove the former difficulty which prevents them from fol.. loving the example of England. The commer cial interests in France are loudly for the mea sure, and if Ferdinand should persist in refus• ing to acknowledge the independence of his re volted colonies, it is by no means improbable that France will at once disengage herself from the absurd trammels of the Spanish Court, and share the benefits of a direct commercial inter course with the new States. The Journal du Commerce announces, that " since the arrange ment with Hayti has been promulgated, commer cial transactions have multiplied at Paris with amazing activity. The business of the Custom house is increased to excess. This merchandise is all destined for America, and principally for Hayti. [MORNING POST.] French Papers to the 29th inst., and the Etoile of Monday reached us last night by Express. They have brought but little intelligence from Spain. That little, however, is favourable ; and if its correctness could be trusted, there would be less cause for apprehension in the late move ments in the Peninsula, than the first accounts naturally created. Bessieres is said by the Etude to have been deserted by most of his men, and after having collected 250, to re main with only twenty flying towards A rra gon and closely pursued by sixty Carabineers of the Guard. The other Journals copy this dispatch, which is dated Madrid, the 22d in tant ; but they do not vouch for its authenticity, and intimate a belief that it has been produced or modified, in order to prevent the decline of the 3 per Cent., which had fallen more than one per cent. the moment it was known that Bessieres had taken the field. It is certainly clear that the Etoile either exaggerated the force under that rebel in the first instance, or that it now reduces it far below its real proportions ; for if he had never collected more than 250 men, there would have been no necessity to send three thousand troops, with artillery and a General-in-Chief, in his pursuit. The fact probably is, that the alarm experienced in Trance at the prospect of a civil war in the Peninsula, in which the French armies would play the same part as under Napoleon, has been far greater than the Mini sters anticipated, and that they will now endea vour to assuage it by not suffering the whole truth to transpire. Some of the Papers already remark that they had not received the private letters which they expected from their Corres pondents in Spain. It is therefore possible that the Post from that country may have been subject ed to the superintendence usual in time of war, and that letters are not only opened, but suppressed, if they contain any thing calculated to produce what is thought to be an unfavoura ble impression. It appears that the late visit of the Duke of Wellington to the French capital, has given birth to many rumours. The Quotidi cime, which is the most credulous and the most ardent friend and supporter of despotism, but which has always the manhood to avow its opinions frankly, however preposterous they may be, sees in his Grace's journey, notwithstanding the mys tery in which it is said to be enveloped, that the Cabinets of London and of the Tuileries have mutually agreed to induce Spain to recognize - the independence of her late Colonies, and Fer dinand to assemble the Cortes and give a Repre sentative Constitution to his people. These con - cessions, the same Paper pretends to understand, are to be repaid on Our part by pecuniary sup plieS to replenish the exhausted coffers of the Spanish Monarch. The poor Quotidienne is posi tively as much horror-struck at this creation of • its imagination as if the money were to be taken out of its own pockets. 11l aS it thinks of the preSent Ministers of Charles X. it cannot believe them capable of ‘C blindly rendering France the instrument of English policy." [NEW Our City Letter Mentions the great and in. Creasing panic on the Stock .Exchange, and very justly remarks, that when an. impulse is once forcibly given in the l‘larket, either to drive down,or to force up the Stocks, the movement generally continues long after all reasonable cause for it lies ceased. The panic seems to be increased, in the present instance, by the diffi culty of assigning any intelligible reason for it. That there is no political ground of alarm is clear from the simple fact, that Mr. Canning is touring among the mountains and lakes of West moreland, which so vigilant a Statesman never would do in a moment of danger. For our own part we are satisfied that there there is a real scarcity of money, from several coinciding causes, the conversion of the French Rentes, the pay ment of instalments on Foreign Loans and Com pany Shares, and the limitation of Bank issues, which last measure is a necessary consequence of the state of the Exchanges ; and the Exchanges depend on the balance of payments between our own and foreign countries. Time will restore all these things to their level ; and then our Funds will again rise, and buyers will become as unreasonably eager to purchase as holders now are to sell. [MORNING HERALD.] It is believed by persons likely to be well-in formed of the state of Spain, and the relations of that country with France, that a French army is on the eve of repassing the Pyrenees. The insurrectionary movement is said to be chiefly directed against the French and their adherents. The common cry of the Spaniards, whether Übe rals, or Serviles, is " death to the French." This would in, some measure account for the obscurity which involves the views and character of those who threaten the existing system. According to some, Ferdinand is not sufficiently Catholic, and must abdicate in favour of his brother Carlos. According to others, he is not suffi ciently liberal, and the design is to give Spain a Constitution. Add to this, that men of opposite political sentiments and conduct are arrested and thrown into the dungeons. This anomaly would be accounted for by supposing that parties were united and differences laid aside, in order to com bine against the foreign and common enemy. The nonchalance with which the Priests, Monks, and other absolute Monarchists, propose to de throne Ferdinand, should be a good lesson to kings, and even to despots. Nor is this the first time that such a lesson has been given. It is not necessary to go to Constantinople for examples, or to Russia. A party of the Noblesse of the French Court, even, was actually intriguing to set aside Louis XVI., and bastardize his son, long before the Reformers or Revolutionists would have dared to entertain such a project —when they would, and did think it the ex treme of desperate criminality—and here we find in Spain a faction of bigots -Aid slaves, openly entertaining the project of dethroning a King of Spain at their great good pleasure. This is an excess of Jacobinism, far beyond Libe rals and Revolutionists. The Cortes, in the last extremity, when the national independence and their own lives were at stake, went no further than suspending, in Ferdinand's person, the Royal functions for three days. The fact is, that slaves and bigots, nod minions of power, treat their Princes as savages do their idols. Whilst their passions are indulged they worship and bow down to them ; but the moment their wishes are thwarted, or their hopes disappointed, the idol is thrown down and trampled on with all manner of contumely. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Mr, Martin yesterday experienced a slight check at Guildhall.—Mr. Alderman Atkins re fused to convict a Richmond coachman, on the ground that the balance of evidence was in his favour, though Mr. Martin reinforced his state ment with some very hard epithets, so very 'hard indeed, that the Alderman, who is a lover of soft words, seemed thrown into no small degree of agitation.—We do not understand on what prin ciple the Alderman refused to convict, and yet saddled the defendant with costs. The man could not be both right and wrong. The alarm and panic in the Money Market continue unabated. Consols for the Account, which left off on Monday at 88. f, opened at 87ii yesterday morning, at which very extensive transactions were reported ; they closed at 881 to -1, and for Money 8715, the continuation being a half per cent., still chewing the great pressure for money. The sales of Exchequer Bills on Monday and yesterday were immense, they having been 7 5 4 premium, at par, and closed at 5 to 7 premium yesterday. The alarm in the Foreign Market was still greater yesterday morning than on any preceding day, owing probably to the settlement which takes place in Foreign Stocks to-day. Brazil Scrip was 11 discount ; Mexican, 8; Colombian Bonds, 70; Danish Scrip, 7; (Juatimala, 5 ; Pe ruvian, 11; but the Market has since recovered nearly one per cent. The Stocks of Continental Europe, Russian, Prussian, and Austrian, continue to be better supported than any other description of Stock in this Market, owing to the small quart tity held in England. Russian 26, Austrian ;,►7}, Prussian 101 and 102. Greek Scrip was higher on Monday, but yester day morning it again gave way, it; to 16. Spanish Bonds, 22 ._.ln Shares there was nothing worth noticing—the Steamers generally sold at a small premium.—(lbici.) MARSII AND Co.'s BANKRUPTCY. --A further dividend of 3s. 4d. in the pound, was yesterday declared at tho rooms of the Commissioners, in Basinghall-street. Consider- , able apprehension , had prevailed that the declaration of this dividend would be postpdned to an indefinite period, at the in. stance of the Bank of England. Contrary to expectation, how ever, Mr. Freshfield, jun. attended on behalf of the firm of Kaye and Freshfield, and stated that they were willing to re linquish the attempt they had made to delay this payment.— The Bank do not by this abandon the prosecution of their claim upon the bankrupts' estate, which is still pending in the Court of Chancery. The statement of assets upon which the present dividend has been declared, and upon which the Bank of Eng land rely, in not pressing to have all further proceedings under the Commission stayed until the decision upon their claim is ,known, is as follows : Assets which the Assignees expect to realise beyond the dividend already paid -* Deduct Dividend of 3s. 4d. now declared - X 269,475 - 92,436 X 176.989 Should the Dank of England establish their claim of 250,0001: upon the estate, they rely upon this sum of 176,9391 to pay them a dividend of 6s. Bd., the amount shared by the other creditors. As the total of such dividend would be only 83,00 W. there would still remain 93,0001. for distribution. Debts to a considerable amount were proved at this meeting. . NEW SYNAGOGUE.-Yesterday the foundation stone of a Synagogue, for the Congritgation of the members of the Hebrew nation residing west of Temple-bar. named the Westminster Synagogue, was laid in St. Allian's-place, near Regent-street, by the Wardens, Treasurers, and Corrunittofi of the Denmark-court Congregation, which is intended to be re moved to this place when completed. NVe understand the Ar chitect is ROBERT Ainuainms, Esq. CHOICE or A CAILPET.-Persons who are dig posed to study durability more than ornament, should always select a carpet, the figures of which are smal l ; for in this case the two webs of which the carpeting consists , are alwa y s much closer interwoven than in carpets where large figures upon ample grounds are represented. SURREY SESSIONS. Yesterday Job Frampton and James WiWarns, two well known characters, were indicted for stealing from the person of a Gentleman unknown, at Peckham Fair, on the 24th of August. John Collingbourn, one of the Bow-street patrol, stated, that he was on duty at the fair on the day mentioned in the indictment, when he observed a gang of thieves, among whom were the prisoners, who, appearing the most active, witness and another officer followed them until they arrived opposite Saun ders's show, when they observed the prisoner Frampton take from the pocket of a gentleman a silk handkerchief, and hand the same to his companion, Williams. Witness immediately took the prisoners into custody, when a desperate resistance was made by the gang, and witness was unable to identify the gentleman that had been robbed. Another Bow.street patrol confirmed the above evidence. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty, and they were sen tenced to seven years' transportation. Hannah Kelly and Catherine Kelly, two sisters, were in dicted, the former for stealing a . pair of trousers and other ar ticles from her master, and the latter with receiving the same, knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. Sheppard said that he was a surgeon, residing in Great Surrey-street. The prisoner, Hannah' Kelly, was formerly a servant in his family, and left in January last, to live in a simi lar situation, at Mr. Barkwick's, in the Westminster-road, on the day mentioned in the indictment. Mrs. Barkwick called on witness, and requested to know if he missed any property dur ing the time Hannah Kelly was in his employ. Witness, in consequence, obtained the assistance of an officer, and went to the house of Mr. Barkwick, and on searching the prisoner (Hannah Kelly's) box, found several articles, his property.— Witness then went to the house of Catherine Kelly, and on searching the same, found a quantity of wearing apparel, car peting, &c., also his property. The officer, in consequence, took the prisoners into custody. Witness identified the pro perty now produced. Benjamin Gill, constable of Union-hall, confirmed the above evidence as to finding the property now produced. Hannah Kelly, in her defence, declared her innocence of the robbery, and that her sister was not aware of the property be ing in her house. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Hannah Kelly, and acquitted the other prisoner.—The Court then sentenced her to seven years' transportation. Joseph Harrington and James Parker were convicted and sentenced to seven years' transportation, for stealing a quantity of harness from the house of Mrs. Smith, at Stockwell. The Grand Jury having finished their labours, The CHAIRMAN addressed them and said, that the Court had considered it their duty to state, that it wAs the opinion of the Gentlemen composing the Court, that the annual fairs of Camberwell and Peckham had become a public nuisance, and tended to corrupt the morals and increase crime, and the Court was therefore induced to mention their opinion, so that should a similar feeling exist among the Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, it would be an advantage to state that feeling in their presentment. The Grand Jury then retired, and shortly returned with their presentment, expressing their opinion to the above effect. The Grand Jury consisted of HI gentlemen, 16 of whom signed. ST. GEORGE'S HOSPITAL. Inquisitions were last night taken at the Tri umphant Chariot public-house, Giosvenor-place, before Tno- MAS HIGGS, Esq., on the bodies of two patients of the above Hospital. The Jury, having been sworn, proceeded to take a view of the bodies, the beadle having been previously dispatched to apprise the porter that they were coming ; and in the perform ance of this part of their duty found every facility rendered them on t;. part of the Hospital, lights being placed in the passage and on the stair-case, and the porter promptly attending to point .out the bodies. On their return to the Inquest-room, Mr. Gurney, who at tended on the part of the Hospital, expressed a hope that they lied received every attention. The Coroner replied in the affirmative. Mr. Gurney said, he trusted in future they would always find it so. The first inquiry was touching the death of James Taylor, a young man 24 years old. The deceased, it appeared, on this day fortnight, while employed in cutting chaff with a machine, at the Swan-inn, near the Physic-garden, at Chelsea, unfortunately entan gled the fingers of his right hand below the cuttin ,, part of the machine, so that on its descent they were nearly severed from the hand. He was immediately conveyed to this Hospital. Mr. H. Jeffreys, house-surgeon, sworn—The deceased was under my care. I saw hini soon after his admission. The wound had passed through the first joint of the middle and third fin ger, and through the bone beyond, leaving the parts hanging merely by the skin. It being explained to him that there was no hope of saving these fingers, he consented to their amputa tion. Five days afterwardk he had an attack of scarlet fever, from which, however, he recovered. The wounds of the fingers continued going on favourable, but on Friday morning he was seized with a . pain in his chest and right side. The apothecary bled him immediately, and ordered him proper medicines. At noon of the same day he was seen by Dr. Hewitt, one of the physicians of the Hospital, who had him again bled, and administered other remedies. In spite of these attentions, the symptoms continued to increase with uncon troulable violence, and the poor man died between six and seven o'clock the following morning. On opening the body, the liver and lungs were found to be violently inflamed, and several ab sceses were formed in the substance of both. These were the cause of death. The witness having given his testimony, the Coroner hand ed the depositions to. him to sign, at the same time thanking him for his attendance. Mr. Jeffreys, in reply, said, he had come forward in conse quence of what had occurred recently, as he thought his evi. dence might be more satisfactory to the Jury. At the same time he would observe, that if in future the juries convened should experience any neglect or want of attention from the servants of the Hospital, he could take upon himself, as oneof the Governors, to say, they (the Governors) generally would feel much obliged by the same being communicated to them. The Coroner said, if it should so happen, he would certainly communicate it. A gentleman of the name of Smith, who was one of the Jury, who, a few days back, passed a vote of censure upon the conduct of the nurse Armstrong, and the patient Allan, here. rose, and inquired of the Coroner whether he had not received an answer to the letter he wrote to the I3oard on that occasion ? The Coroner answered in the affirmative. Mr. Smith—And in that letter they have thought fit, I un derstand, to arraign the verdict of the Jury, and to say that it was contrar y to evidence ? They may think such conduct right ; but I do not. Mr. Gurney—You have no evidence that they have done any such thing. Mr. Smith—The newspapers state a resolution they came to, to that effect. Mr. Gurney—Really, Mr. Coroner, this is quite irrelevant. Coroner—Certainly it is. The beadle here observed, that Mr. Smith was not one of the present J ury. Mr. Smith admitted he was not; but said, that he spoke in consequence of Mr. Jeffreys' allusion to past occurrences. Mr. Gurney—What you have related has nothing to' do with the present inquiry. You had better state it to the Go vernors of the Hospital. Dr. Hewitt, a physician, and one of the Governors, stated, that he was in attendance to give any explanation and answer any questions the jury might wish to put. He could assure theft, that •it was the wish of the Governors that they should have every attention and respect shown to them. The conversation here dropped, and the Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict that the deceased died by the visitation of God. 'The next inquiry was into the death of William Laxett, a servant in the employ of Mr. Smith, a builder, residing in Three Kings-court, Oxford-street. The deceased was employ ed on Saturday in lowering timber from an upper workshop, by means of what is termed a gib, and while in the act of push ing the timber off, he overbalanced himself, and was precipitat ed headfbremost into the street. Mr. Carroll, a surgeon of the Hospital, proved that on his being brought there, he was in a most dreadfully battered state, almost every one of his principal limbs having one or more fractures. He died !Alf an hour afterwards. Verdict, Acci. dental Death.—Deottand Is, At the close of the business, Mr. HIGOg; at the request of the jury, expressed to Mr. Gurney the satisfaction they felt at the attention anti treatment they had received on the present occasion. Mr. Gurney (who is SecTetary to the institution) declared his determination to use ever endeavour on his part to prevent any future dissatisfaction.—The Jury then separated. Preparations for the approaching BARTHO. 40MEW FAI a have already commenced, ,by the desire of the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, who, in order to protect the more orderly visitants of that scene of annual mirth and contii., sion, had one hundred .extr - A constables sworn in yesterday for the regulation of the fair. SINGULAR ROBBERY. On Thursday, the 18th instant afloat .11 past nine in the evening, a sailor went to l a public- 101 , 1 1 0 rd Portsea, and asked for a bed. Or. being told by the bit od sailor-like, produced all his rhino, consisting of ten that he could have one, he called for something to dri"'igns so iereo and about Bs. in silver. The sight of this had a Pt e ed effect on the landlord's imagination, and he instantly t° 4- 1 0 rd, plan to ease the. sailor of his shiners.—Jack, says the lan. " N . I cannot only supply you with a good bed, but I Can a l l a t cure you_ a clean, handsome, honest, sprightly girl, one versa' know, and that you may depend upon. After some coon no a d tion, Jack swallowed the bait that was laid for his g° d 'f r ota ofth coursee ot . prize a quarter belo w• consented to have the girl sent for.

The landlord assured Jack all was ri” jumps Jack, up rises the sprightly girl, and up gets the kr, l° 0 01 with a candle iq his hand, and lights Jack and Jae b: ' s ets wife (the landlord's old one), up stairs to their bed-room, AS the candle on the table, and wishes them a good nig hl. o oo l, soon as Jack finds himself safely locked into his bed.ners he says to the girl, " the people in this house are strs,ro.. to me, do you know anything about them ?"
