'I HE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning l'apers,MarchB,l 525. [MORNING POST.] In the House of Peers last night the Bill for suppressing Unlawful Societies in Ireland was ?tad a third time, and passed without a division. 43-ut a few Peers, Lords Ellenborough,Calthorpe, Darnley and Grosvenor spoke against the mea sure, and even they admitted, some that they wished the Catholic Association should cease to exist, and some that its language and proceedings had been temperate and improper. This day the Bill will probably receive the Royal Assent, and the law being complete in all its parts, the Catholics will have to prove the loyalty of which they so strenuously boast, by their peaceable submission to its enactments. It NVill now be seen how far they respect the laws, or whether they think themselves strong enough to defy them. In the previous part of the evening the Duke of Wellington proposed that the operation of the Bill to abolish the use of Spring Guns for the preservation of Game be made general, and that they should not be employed in gardens or in any place whatever. Time was desired, however, to consider the question', and the Chairman re ported progress and obtained leave to sit again_ oo Monday next. In the Commons the second reading of the Bill for altering the Game Laws was carried by a majority of 82 to 26. The House then prepared to receive the Report of thi Committee of Supply on the Army Estimates, when Mr. Home, with his usual narrowness of views, contended that there existed no reason for increasing our Alilitary Establishment; and, with his usual correctness, stated, that if this augmenta lion had not taken place, the whole of the Window Tax, and three millions of other taxes, might have'' been remitted to the people. On the first point he was answered by his own Friend ; for even Sir Robert Wilson defended the proposed in crease, declaring " that this country ought to mahltain an imposing attitude, and he was sure the people of England would think even less of the repeal of taxes, than that the Government should pursue that line of policy calculated to en sure the independence of the world." Cn the other point, Lord Palmerston proved, that the accurate Calculator had magnified the `26.,000 English Yeomanry into 43,000 ; and that instead of three millions of taxes being ren dered reducible by abstaining from augmenting the Army, the whole of the expenditure for the lurid forces only amounted to ‘24,000/. above there millions. These statements, though they did not disconcert the Hon. Member who is ac. customed to such corrections, produced a just ef fect upon the House, and Nlr. Hume's amendment, tending to declare that it was not necessary to keep up the force agreed to in the Committee, was rejected without division. The Report was then received, and all the Resolutions agreed to. [BRITISH PRESS:3 The Bill for suppressing unlawful societies in Ireland was read a third time last night in the House of Lords, and passed. The formal assent of the Crown now only remains to be given to this Bill to render it obligatory as''part of the law of the land. We have the fullest confidence in the good sense of the Catholics as to their tran qnil and perfect submission to the judgment of Par liament ; more especially at this moment when the justice and expediency of conceding their claims have been solemnly admitted by one branch of the Legislature. No great measure of justice has ultimately failed of success in the British Parlia ment. The Catholic question has gained by every discussion, and it was perhaps only necessary to its triumph that it should he delivered from the mischievous advocacy of the intemperate men who were making it a mere stalking-horse for purposes purely selfish. We understand that several eminent mercantile and commercial men have waited on the Noble Earl at the head of his Majesty's Government, and urged strongly the propriety of settling the question by the conces sion of the claims of the Catholics. These Gentle men .represented that the passing of the Bill to be founded on the late Resolutions of the House of Commons, was, in their opinion,"necessary to the safe investment of British capital in Ireland, and that they only waited for it to embark largely in undertakings favourably to the pros perity and welfare of that country. We haVe also heard that a similar representation has been made by several of the firmest awl most constant friends of the Administration. It is said that these statements have produced a deep impres sion upon • the Noble Earl, and we have reason to believe that the Bill will be supported, by some very distinguished Peers who have formerly con sidered it their duty to oppose the question. If the Bill should pass, it is intended to accompany it with others, granting a provision to the Catho lic Clergy, and limiting the elective franchise in Ireland to the possession of a yearly income of at least ten pounds. These measures are both ob viously necessary we think, even should the Ca tholic Claims fail of present success, but more particularly are we convinced of "the propriety of disfranchising the forty-shilling freeholders. that there are few merchants in that place who possess capital who do not largely participate in the traffic, to which their cupidity is strongly attracted by the immense profits resulting from it. Indeed, to such perfection is the system car ried, that insurances on the venture can readily he effected at from 40 to 50 per cent., while the profits in general average 300 or 400 per cent., — that is, return three or four times the amount of capital so employed ; the whole voyage, includ ing the bringing back a cargo to Europe, seldom occupying more than six months. Advices have been received within these few days from Cuba, of the arrival there of a vessel named the Orphee, with more than five hundred slaves on board, which vessel was fitted out for the voyage by the merchants of Nantes. It is said also, that some merchants in Antwerp are sharers in the profit and the disgrace of the un dertaking. The mode in which the vigilance of our cruizers is eluded may be collected from the reports from the African station. They hold communi cation with the shore by means of signals, which inform them when the slaves are ready for ship ment, and when English ships have removed to another part of the coast. The sailors are se cured in their fidelity to their unprincipled em ployers by high pay and large bribes. We much fear, that while the inducements of such large profits exist, all attempts on the ..part of the different Governments to put an end to the Slave-Trade will be frustrated ; but some assistance will at least be given in pointing out who the parties are who carry it on ; and this service it is the duty of the press to render. [MORNING CHRONICLE-] We were glad to hear the practice of setting Spring Guns, against which we have so often raised our voice, generally reprobated last night, in the House of Lords. Lord Liverpool laid down distinctly the principle which ought to guide us in matters of this kind : cc No man had any right to put another in danger of his life under any circumstances, when he had not the right to shoot him. Such a principle was prepos terous, and he could not agree to it." We were pleased to perceive at the same time the adoption of a more rational language in speaking of the state of our law, the barbarousness and defec tiveness of which in many respects have long been a subject of lamentation to intelligent na tives, and a subject of ridicule to foreigners.— The practice of setting spring-guns in gardens, said Lord Liverpool, " arose from the absurd state of our law in some points. if a man, for instance, took away fruit which had been pre viously gathered, the law regarded him as a thief; if, however, he brake into a garden and gathered fruit from a tree, he believed he was correct in saying that the law looked on this only as a trespass."—Even the Lord Chancellor had his joke at the wisdom of our ancestors—" There' was something. requisite (he said) to make the law what it was sometimes described to be, the perfection of human reason !" We believe there is !! To know the evil is half the cure. — So long as the determination to cling to every ab surdity and prejudice, merely because they were old, existed, the prospect of redress was gloomy indeed. But now this infatuation seems to give way very fast. This ought to be an encourage ment to us to persevere in enforcing good princi ples. Though they are opposed one year and another, yet they ultimately gain the ascendancy. We willingly bestow our meed of praise on Mi nisters, for the disposition they now manifest, to give effect to good principles. We hope that Lord Liverpool, who has it so much in his power to improve the state of the Law, will use that power in obtaining for the people of this country the judicial improvements, of which they are so much in want. lie is evidently sensible that it is high time the work of reformation were com menced. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] We have received the Paris Papers of Satur day, with the Etoile of Sunday's date ; but they are destitute of news. The Rentes continue to rise, without materially affecting the English market, which plainly shews that they are in fluenced less by external than internal causes.— It is now generally expected that the Project for their conversion will be carried into a law ; which is the immediate cause of their advance. — This expected triumph, combined with the success which has attended the other proceed ings of the Minister this Session, has raised the confidence of the jabbers, with whom Villele is a great favourite. From his pre ponderating influence in the two Chambers, they speculate on the stability of his. power ; and, as he has, in addition to his financial repu tation, acquired a character for circumspection, if not for justice, in his foreign policy, it is not sur prising if the Rentes advance as his measures suc ceed. If he were to fall, a Ministry, possessing less scruples and infinitely less caution, would follow ; and what is now problematical in the foreign relations of that country would assume a character of absolute certainty.— Villele has sometimes the courage to assert his own independence, and that of the Govern ment, in opposition to the views of the Holy Alliance, particularly .of Russia, which is the reason that the latter have not wholly triumphed in the French Court. His probable successors, on the contrary, would anticipate the wishes of that formidable league ; and, therefore, every triumph that Villele gains, serves to defer at least the period when French policy and prin ciples are to assimilate wholly to the European system, as it is called. been influenced by those about him to sanction the improvident bargains made with this man, or to tolerate the frauds of his agents, in carrying those bargains into execution. Ouvrard was a dashing speculator at an early period of the Revolution: It is related of him, that in the time of the Di rectory he once presented himself to the Mi nister of the day to make a tender for a pretty extensive contract. The terms were approved ; but an immediate deposit of one million two hundred thousand francs was required as a se curity. Ouvrard, who had no other resource than his own wits and a few bank-notes in his pockets, gave without hesitation a checque for the amount on the Bank of France ; but once clear of the Minister's Cabinet, he addressed himself to the Chef de Bureau, begging him to have the trifling complaisance not to present his checque till the following day. His reasons were persuasive ; the request was granted, and his pocket was lightened of its bank notes. — He had little difficulty in proving to the sa satisfaction of a monied friend, that his con tract was worth the advance of 1,200,000 francs, and the check was duly honoured. Nor was Ouvrard mistaken in his estimate ; but having unluckily acted without due discretion, and laid himself open to proceedings which ren dered a temporary seclusion indispensable, he confided the care of his papers to a sure per son, who was thus involuntarily made acquainted with certain secrets which he did not regard as altogether sacred. Among other curious parti culars, it is said, that there was a process verbal drawn up in solemn form, and stating with great minuteness a case of necessity which had occa sioned a cargo of corn to be thrown into the sea ; whereas, in point of fact, no such cargo had ever been shipped !—Possibly_the forthcoming report of the Committee of Inquiry may present a counterpart to this transaction. Meanwhile M. Ouvrard is safely confined within four walls, at the suit of one of his creditors. [MORNING HERALD.] In the House of Lords, after many petitions had been presented against the Catholic Associa tion Bill, the Bishop of Exeter presented a peti tion from the Clergy, &c. imploring the House to resist any further concession to the Roman Ca tholics. Lord King lamented the presentation of such petition, praying, as it did, that the Ca tholics might continue deprived of their civil rights ; observed that the Clergy of late had be come great Politicians ; and particularly deplor ed the part which the established Churchmen took with respect to this question. Lord Darnley also expressed his regret that the Clergy deemed it right to present such petitions. The Bishop of Exeter, in reply, submitted that the Clergy had as much right to petition Parliament as the rest of his Majesty's subjects ; and added, that they failed not to approach that House with respect ful language, on a subject too, which they might be excused for feeling to be one of great im portance. Lord Suffield afterwards moved that his Bill, declaratory of the illegality of using spring guns for the preservation of game, be committed. The Duke of Wellington said that the ac cidents mentioned in justification of the Bill, would not warrant Parliament in limiting its operation to instances when spring guns were set for the preservation of game ; if the Bill passed at all, his Grace thought its operations ought to be general. Lord Ellenborough declared that if the use of spring guns, under any circumstances, was declared illegal, the market gardeners in par ticular, about London would not be able to protect their property. The Lord Chancellor said, as to the law of the subject, the Judges were divided upon it ; and that with respect to the use of spring guns to preserve game for sporting, it was contrary to the practice pursued in his younger days.— Sportsmen then went to the mountains tops to meet the rising morn in pursuit of game ; but as preserves must be had for modern sportsmen, and spring-guns to guard those preserves, it was ma nifest, his Lordship continued, that the law should be made clear and unequivocal. He for one would never consent to endanger the lives of his Majesty's subjects by the use of such dangerous engines ; and certainly not for such objects. — Lord Liverpool subsequently moved the third reading of the Irish Unlawful Societies" Bill. THE REFUGEES. On Friday last the Committee met at Guild hall. A letter, dated 'Washington, 18th January, 1825, from the celebrated La Fayette, was read. It was written in French, the translation of which is as follows : " My proscribed fellow-citizens, who are formed into a com mittee to assist each other, and who have often received the ex pression of my best wishes, will now, I trust, allow me to profit by the first opportunity in which I can add something to the tributes of friendship which have already reached them. My per sonal friend, Mr. Rush, will shortly receive 2,000 dollars, which I have requested the Bank of the United States to transmit to him, to be handed over to those of my - fellow-citizens, who are entrusted with the relief of the proscribed natives of France, and 1 fully rely upon the judicious disposal of the amount.— I beg of them all to accept the assurances of my best wishes, and of my best friendship. " LA FAY ET T E." This letter is addressed " A Messieurs du Comite Francais pour les Affaires des Patriotes Proscrits hors de leur Pais."— This Committee, we believe, consists of Frenchmen residing in this country, aided by Englishmen who are friendly to the Li beral cause. In a subsequent letter it was announced, that the venerable General had transmitted 200 dollars for the relief of the Spanish, and 200 for the Italian, refugees. A subscription of 2701. was announced from Glasgow; of 100!. from the Fish mongers' Company, and of 100/. from the Goldsmiths' Company. A sum exceeding 4,0001. has already been expended in supply ing the claimants, and upwards of 300 emigrants are still on the list. Many have been provided with situations as teachers of languages, and several have been sent abroad. More might be provided for to the former way if they had any acquaintance with the English language. It was determined by the Com mittee to endeavour to remedy the defect by the Hamiltonian System, by which a person engaged to teach them at the rate of 2/. ss. per head. Letters were announced from several parts of the country, to which Refugees had been sent as teachers, stating that they had given the greatest satisfaction. In no one instance had there been a failure or disappointment in any respect. [TH E TIM ES .1 It is well known, we believe, that the ini quitous traffic in slaves is at present in great measure covered by the French slag, and that the mode of Carryin g it on has been so dexter ously arranged by the merchants of that country, that they are enabled in a very great majority of cases to etude the vigilance of the English.

ETON COLLEGE. TO THE EDITOR. SlR—However natural may he the interest ex cited in the public mind by the late melancholy event at Eton, I am sure you will be of opinion that nothing ought to be put forth which may be needlessly painful to the feelings of those who are already deeply afflicted. I think it therefore my duty to inform you, that my pupil, Colonel Wood's son, remained in my house from about ten mi nutes before six on Monday night until three in the afternoon of the following Wednesday, when he accompanied his father to Littleton. Could I have been so wanting in delicacy as to per mit him to appear as usual after such a calamity, his own severe affliction would have made any such unfeeling exposure im possible. No warrant was issued until after he had left me, nor did any constable enter my house. On Saturday my pupil was at Ayles bury with Colonel Wood. Having been present at the inquest, and also much interested in making inquiries with a view to relieve Colonel Wood's feel ings on this dreadful event, I am able to assure you that the only report of what has occurred, now full of errors and mis representations, is that contained in the- Windsor Express of Saturday. [ have ascertained, tlsat three gentlemen on their return from hunting, aboutfifty minutes after the combat had commenced, came into the playing field, out of their way, as spectators, and remained there for nearly ten minutes, apparently amused by what they saw, and then rode away without interfering. It is to be hoped that these gentlemen, whose names are (unknown, will inform the public that they saw nothing which called for their interference, or at least that some allowance will be made for unthinking boys, very few of whom were in the upper part of the school, for not exerting themselves, as elder boys would have done, to prevent the continuance of a scene which was sanctioned by the voluntary presence of those who had no ex cuse for their inhumanity. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Eton College, March 5, 1825. E. C. HAWTREY. SUICIDE. INQUEST on the BODY of the HON. J. H. STANHOPE. On Saturday night some of the most respect able families in the neighbourhood of Hampstead and High gate were thrown into great agitation by the intelligence that Colonel STANHOPE had been found hanging from a beam in one of the outhouses at Caen Wood, the seat of the Earl of MasrsriELD. Numerous inquiries were made into the cir cumstances of the death of the Colonel, but no information could be obtained. A Coroner's Jury was summoned with re markable haste to meet at ten o'clock yesterday morning, at the Fox-under-the-Hill public-house, Highgate. The Jury, upon being sworn, proceeded to view the pre mises where the body of the Colonel was found suspended. It is an outhouse in Caen Wood, at a considerable distance from the family mansion, where cattle are sheltered. The beam from which the body was cut down was about seven feet from the ground, and there lay across it a pair of braces by which he had suspended himself. The Jury, after inspecting this spot, were conducted to the nearest lodge, where they viewed the body, which was laid out on a bed. The deceased was dressed in a common walking dress with boots ; his top coat was pulled down over the shoulders, his cravat was off, and there was a livid mark in the throat : a silk handkerchief which he had tied to the braces and fastened round his throat was ex hibited. There were no other marks of violence on the body than that just described. The first witness called was William Wright, groom of the Earl of Mansfield. He stated, that towards 10 o'clock on Sa turday night, in consequence of very great alarm which pre vailed in the mansion, he went, with several others of the ser vants, to search about the wood. He, as well as the rest, were apprehensive that something might have happened to the Colonel. After having searched several places, they went into the shed which the Jury had inspected. Witness was the first that entered the shed, and he started back on finding the Colonel suspended from a beam. Witness's fellow-servants cut down the corpse immediately. The extremities were quite cold.— They immediately conveyed it to the nearest lodge, but life was quite extinct. The next witness was J. Wheeler, who appeared to be in extreme grief while giving his testimony. He stated that he had ben valet to the deceased upwards of seventeen years, and had attended upon his master as usual on Satur day morning. The family usually dined at seven o'clock, and a little before that time the bell rang to dress for dinner. Witness went to attend his master, but was greatly surprised at not finding him, according to custom, about to dress. The deceased was then sought after in various directions, but no in telligence was gained respecting his unaccountable absence. The dinner passed over without his attendance, when fresh inquiries were made respecting him. There was an arrangement about the purchase of a house, in the disposal of which the Colonel was concerned, to be concluded on the Saturday, and Lord Mansfield, who was at home, conjectured that the Colonel might have gone to town for the purpose of settling the business. For the purpose of ascertaining whether this was the case, and from a feeling of uneasiness on the subject, his Lordship order ed out the carriage, and drove to town ; made inquiries at every place in which he thought his relative might have been detain ed, but returned without having obtained any tidings about him. The apprehensions of the f am ily i ncrease d. Inquiries were made as to the last time he was seen upon the grounds. —lt was reported, that about ten minutes after four o'clock, he was seen going in a particular direction in the wood. The wood was scoured round; as it was feared the Colonel might have been seized with some paroxysm. The deceased had received a wound at the storming of St. Sebastian, in the Peninsular war. A shot had passed through the thin part of the shoulder blade —that wound had never been cured, and occasionally gave him great pain. About two years ago his wife, the eldest daughter of Lord Mansfield, died, and his grief at the loss of her was very great. Of late, witness hart observed that the deceased was very abstracted, was in the habit of sitting along time as if in a state of stupor, and then he would suddenly start up as if from sleep or upon an alarm. Within a few days he had complain ed very much that he could get no sleep in consequence of the pain he endured. The deceased was in general very sedate in his manner. James Alexander, an under-gardener in the service of Lord Mansfield, deposed that he was at work in the grounds, when, at about 20 minutes past 4 o'clock, he observed the deceased going towards the wood, in which the outhouse where he was afterwards found suspended was situated. Wi , ness thought that the step of the deceased in going towards this place was re- markably hurried. Dr. Gilman, of Highgate, stated that he was called in on Sa turday night to the house of Lord Mansfield. He found the body of the deceased not quite cold, but life was entirely gone. He took the usual course adopted in cases of that nature, but with no effect. He judged that the body had been suspended several hours, and death was no doubt caused by suffocation. Witness had attended the family. The deceased had received a shot in the scapula of the left shoulder. Frequent exfolia tions of the bone had taken place, and there was rather a co pious issue. He believed that the spine was affected. In such cases, paroxysms of pain might produce temporary derange. merit. He mentioned one instance known to some of the jury, of Mr. Mitchell, an attorney, who, by a fall from a gig, injured a particular nerve, and was frequently taken with a fit of run ning several yards. The pain and nervous irritation created by the wound, acted upon by mental causes, might have induced temporary insanity. There was little doubt that the Colonel had laboured under considerable nervous irritation. The CorroxErt summed up the evidence, and the Jury re. turned a verdict to the effect, that the deceased had destroyed himself whilst labouring under a fit of temporary insanity.. The Colonel was held in the highest esteem by all in the neighbourhood who knew him, and the unaffected sorrow of the domestics who gave evidence before the jury, bore testimony to his worth as a master. He was remarkably pious, although from his early youth in the army, and he paid the highest atten tion to religious duties. He was in his 39th year, and was Member of Parliament for Dartmouth. We understand that he was about to be married to a young lady who was on a visit at Caen 'Wood at the time the dreadful event took place. Th e Colonel gave up his establishment after the death of his wife, I by whom he had one son, who is now living.
