TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extractgfram tl!e Norning Papers,June 28, 1625 [TII E TIIKES.I The Spanish Commissioners, it is said, had reck,oned so completely " without the host," that a courier was in readiness to start for Ma drid with the intelligence of the conclusion of the contract for a loan, when it was broken off by the refusal of the merchants to give it their ratification. Each party, as is usual in such cases, circulate their own opinion of the transac lion ; the friends of the Commissioners assert ing that the contract Was a complete one in all its parts, and that the merchants had granted full powers of attorney for carrying it into exe eution at Madrid ; and those of the merchants declaring that they have a full justification for refusing to fulfil their engagements, in the length of time which has elapsed, and the altered state of public opinion respecting Spanish credit which has taken place, since they entered into it. We do not pretend, nor have we any wish ; to be in . the confidence of either, but give the current explanation which is in circulation on 'Change- Our chief motive for recurring to the subject now, is . to mention the violent conduct of the Spanish Commissioner at the interview with the .supposed contractors, on finding that his object was defeated. Ile declared that their condnct, was insulting to his Government and disgraceful : to the character of English merchants, and eyof .. threatened, as the report goes, that the account, should 'be published in the Madrid papers, with a copy of the powers they had executed for .the fulfilment of the contract, and the names of the. parties at full length. He is said to have told . them, that his master had money enough to carry on affairs at home, though not to pay fo reign debts ; and that foreign claims must remain suspended till the revenue of the country in creased. Ile is also reported to have uttered some vague threats of procuring the interference of Russia on behalf of Spain, should England dare to seize any of the Spanish possessions , or property as a set-off against the claims of British subjects. That the merchants have been politic in refusing to bring forward a contract which . contained no acknowledgment of the. bonds of the Cortes, or indeed any contract for lending English money to Spain, there can be little doubt ; whether they have preserved perfect good faith in their engagements with the Spanish Government, can only be known by- the -publi cation of the documents connected with the transaction. [NEW TIMES. In the House of Commons last night, various matters of great interest came under dlieussion, The question respecting the liability of Country . Banks to pay their notes in gold, upon their be-; ing required to do so by the holders ofthe notes - , was again brought before the House by. Mr. Hume, and a conversation of considerable jt:rtg,tic followed. We quite agree ss.it t Mr, er r ur, ney that no apprehensions upon. the Subict are entertained by the pnblic,. aiid believe that -it is generally well understood that ,every banker is hound to pay his notes in cash. Mr. J. Smith asserted, as a fact within his own knowledge, that one half of the cirett lating medium of the country consisted of . 0. notes. 111 r. Baring, Mr. Canning, and olhef Members, participated in the discussion, and Mr. Huskisson again repeated his distinct and positive interpretation of the law, that from the Bank of Engiand down to the smallest:banker in the country, they are all liable tcs'pay their notes at sight, in the legal coin of the 7 realm. The consideration of the Combination of Work men Bill then occupied the House,' . and formed the main business of the evening. , -:.• , ['ME PUBLIC LEDGER.? From a source, liable to no objection,- a con - firmation, we are sorry to say, has been received of the capture of Navarin. Intelligence to this effect was received yesterday from a Greek house at Trieste ; and, to aggravate the calamity, :it represents the Greeks as divided amongst them selves, when their situation plainly requires the most perfect union and the utmost .energy.,-- These dissensions are the more to be t d as the wilely Egyptian knows how to turn them' to his advantage ; and though his ..military means are any thing but contemptible; his in trigues, we fear, are more formidable. Before he effected a landing, it had been confidently stated that he counted on finding many par tisans in the Morea ; and this expe c tation, revolting as it" is, is likely, it Would: seem,, to be fulfilled. That there is a Turkish .party: in that province has been proved by rer cent occurrences ; for it is notorious that—the late revolt 4d its origin in this unworthy cant?. Ibrahim Paella, who employs gold as well as steel in the prosecution of the contest, and who is accompanied by persons, trained by, his fattier. in all the arts of seduction, will, no doubt, make the most of the present divisions amongst the Greeks. Ilis efforts will be the more successful too:onaccount of the high reputation of the V ice roy, the' comparative mildness of his rule, and the gentle- treatment the Greeks have experienced from him, whenever they fell into his hands. As it is probable that the latter will find some pre text for keeping the Morea for himself, in the event of his conquering it, it is likely that he will neglect nothing to obtain so important an acqui sition. The possession of Navarin is only an en couragement to- attempt further conquests ; and we are obliged, however painfully, to admit, that the . "situation of the Greeks is critical in the extreme.: [BRITISH PR ESS.I On'the third reading of the Judges' Salaries Bill last night, in the House of Lords, the Lord Cltaficellor, in reply to some observations from lia t tt trolivenor, made some interesting' state ments .with regard to the income he derives horn his office. During the last three years it has not exceeded 10,0001., and during the last twenty- , three years it has not averaged 15,0001. annual ly:. • This is certainly, as the Lord Chancellor sardi much below the common opinion of the va lee of his office. It is less than he received while practising at the bar. The Noble and Learned Lord was deeply affected in allud ing to the calumnies that have been circu lated against him on this subject. With respect to the Commission respecting the Court of Chan cery, he expressed his anxiety that their inqui ries should be close and extensive into 'all that related to that Court. In conclusion, his Lordship adverted to the clamour that has been falsely raised against him, and warned the House how they suffered the characters of men in high station to fall under the attacks of public libel lers. Lord Redesdale vindicated the Members of the Commission from some disparaging remarks of Earl Grosvenor, who afterwards thought fit to explain them away.—ln the House of Commons, a long conversation took place on the presentation of a Petition by Mr. Hume, complaining that a Banking Company at Bristol had refused to give gold in payment of their notes. The law is quite clear as to this point. Every Bank is hound to pay in gold, on demand ; but Mr. Hume and Mr. Abercromby wished to have a summary process enacted, for tl►e seizure of a Banker's goods, if,at the end of 3 days, he refused to pay his notes in gold. The subject was treat ed as one of great importance, merely to give some of the Members an opportunity of recurring to their old practice of predicting the national ruin from the excess of the paper currency. Cob- Lett should have been amongst them, to . have read a lecture on the gridiron. The Combina tion Bill passed through the Committee. The evils of the present system were forcibly but not too strongly stated by Mr. Wallace. The trade of the country would have been undermined and destroyed, if an effectual check had not been ap plied to the wild excesses of the workmen. Their own interests were those most deeply con cerned in the suppression of their violent courses. The charges against Mr. Kenrick were again be fore the House. Mr. Denman gave notice of his intention to move some Resolutions this evening, inculpating Mr. Kenrick with respect to the case of Franks. [monNING POST.] French Papers to the 26th inst. with the Etoile of Sunday, reached us last night by Express. On Friday last the Duke of Northumberland had his audience of leave of the French Monarch, toge ther with the Russian and Swedish Ambassadors Extraordinary and their Suite. His Grace was expected to leave Paris this day on his return home. The Etoile contains intellige-nce from Trieste to the llth inst., which mentions, without affirming, the reported surrender or capture of Na varino. The same Paper gives accounts from Con stantinople to the 11 th May,which contradicts that event. It states that the combined Turkish, Egyptian, and Ablerine squadrons, with a consi derable number of transports, had entered the port of Motion, and landed the third division of droops, which had created a panic in the gar -01011 of Navarino, and induced it to propose a 'capitulation, when the Greek fleet appeared -under Mianlis attached to the Ottomans, burn ed a large frigate, five ships of war, twenty transports, a great portion of the town, and blew up the powder magazine. These details have arrived from too many quarters unconnect ed with each other, not to be founded in fact.— IThey also seem satisfactorily to explain how the report of the capitulation of Navarino got into- circulation. The Etoile contradicts, but very faintly, the statements made by some of the other Journals of disturbances in the Spanish capital. It announces at the same time, that the two Members which remained of the old Mini stry, (the Ministers of War and Justice) had been removed, and that the Royal Volunteers had displayed much agitation and discontent on account of that measure. Recent letters from I.pahan, state that the King of Persia had abdi cated in favour of his son Abbas Mirza, who in tended to rebuild Shiraz and to restore its splendour. - [MORNIIsIG We have received the Paris Pai>ers of Satur (lF y, arid -the Toile of Sunday. The Courier Francais contains an account of the liberation I,ol.Peneral Deverewc, who reached Paris on Wednesday, and left it on Friday morning for London. He was arrested at Rovigo by the Aus trian Police, where he was confined in what was formerly the 'Palace of the Doge. He dispatch ,ed a;letter to the Emperor, who was at the time at IL7ilan ; and fifteen days after the arrest came an order for his liberation, with injunctions to quit Venice and Italy in 24 hours. Another interesting discussion took place last night, on the subject of our paper circulation. Jt Was adMitted on all hands, that as the law at present stood, all Bankers are bound_ to give the 'C-(irrent coin of .the realm for their notes on de- Mand; but then it. appears that. the remedy in , ettse of a refusal is rather tedious, being no other thgb:that df action. .We are in no alarm with re spect to- the circulation, if the convertibility into cash is property secured. There never can be any danger of a want of speck, at was Well observed by Mr. John Smith, in the greatest commercial country in the world.— The exchange may he in favour or against, accord ing as the course of commerce renders m one y or other goods the most profitable object of export ation. But the limits either way must necessarily be very narrow. f the Country Bankers, in deed, had the power of refusing payment of their notes, then the Exchange might again rise to an amount indicating a depreciation of paper. But there can be no danger of any such unfavourable .exchange with cash-payment, or even with the obligation on Country Banks of paying in 133 " k of England paper, the latter being convertible into cash.—An Exchange beyond the. usual ex pence of transporting money, would soon send their notes into the Bank, and bring back gold. [MORNING HERALD.) Au extended discussion took place last night in Abe House of Commons, on the complaint of ilfr. Frederick Jones, that a bank at Bristol had r!fuse d to give him c o in for notes, when he de manded the legal currency of the realm in ex change for such notes. He prayed the House to provide a more summary remedy to enforce the exchange of gold for paper, than at present existed. Such prayer was supported by Mr. Hume, who declared that such power was re- quisite to give the- country proper confidence in the currency ; and he added that the Banks might deluge the country with their paper if they pleased, so long as such paper was made imme diately convertible into gold on demand. Mr. H. Davis explained, for the Bank in question, that the transaction on which Mr. Jones founded his complaint arose out of some warmth on both sides ; but having ascertained that it was not optional to tender Bank of England notes, or - gold, the Bristol Bank had afterwards offered gold for the notes. Lord Folkstone having spoken of the prevalence of paper in the country, and of the necessity of giving the re quired summary power, Mr. H. Gurney said that the impression of all country Banks, of which he knew any thing, was the reverse of what had been entertained by the Bristol Bank. None deemed it to be optional to pay in Bank of Eng land notes, or gold, if coin were demanded. Mr. J. Smith observed, that he did not believe that there were three Banks in England that doubted the liability to pay in gold if it were demanded, and that he did not think it would be injuri ous to their credit to act upon such conviction of their liability. Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, -and Mr. Iluskisson then severally expressed their opinion that no new law was required to fix the liability of every country banker or other person to give gold for their notes or other securities on demand ; and that the protection to the country was, that no other tender, no small notes, no coun try notes, was legal tender than the silver and gold coin of the realm. The trans action on which the complaint, and the call for an alteration of the law depended, avow edly arose out of intemperance ; and the Bank afterwards admitted their liability to pay in gold, and offered it. Therefore, to think of alter log the Law as to the remedies, where there might be refusal—if the credit of any country banker or others could bear the consequences of such refusal—would only be to excite doubts where none existed. Mr. Secretary Canning said, as to any imaginary evils resulting from the present state of the currency, he was prepared to endure them all, rather than disturb the Law which made silver and gold coin the only legal tender.

SIR—No subject at present under discussion seems of more importance, or of more general interest, than the Report of the Select Committee on the Combination Laws, which has lately been printed by order of the House of Commons. With your permission, Alr. Editor, I will now direct the attention of your Readers to one of the most important branches of that Report, and which comes nearer home than any other, viz. as regards the Combinations of the Shipwright of the river Thames. Upon this subject the Committee make the following very just remarks : " The last case to which your Committee feel it necessary to advert, is that of the Shipwright in the river Thames. Their Association, under the title of "rhe Shipwrights' Provsdent Union,' commenced a few months ago. The origin and object of it are stated by a witness of the name, of Lomax, who appears to haVe been one of the principal agents in its forma tion. Its effects and proceedings are detailed by the masters. It has a permanent Committee, to which every thing is re.. ported, and to which reference on all points is made ; this Committee appears to direct the conduct of the working ship wrights employed in the several yards, according to the rules prescribed by the general meetings of the Association, and exercise a power wholly incompatible with the legitimate authority of the Ship-builder over his own property and esta blishment. " The contest has been for some time continued. It is stated on one side, and distinctly admitted on the other, that it is not a question of wages, and is therefore described by the masters to be a question of the power of regulating the mode of con ducting the business. This is confirmed not only by some of' ,the articles of the Union, but by regulations and proceedings which appear in a book delivered by the Secretary (as con taining the minutes of their meetings or committees), which Rill show the subjects on which the managers of the Union exercise their authority, and the Manner in which they prescribe to the members of the body,the course they are to pursue. "' A further confirmation of the spirit of this union arises from the circumstances that have occasioned the retirement of the men from their work in: the different yards. In one in stance, it has taken place on account of the dismissal of men brought into ;he yard (as alleged) by order of the Union, and certainly without the sanction of either the shipbuilder or his foreman. The right to do this is confidently claimed on the part of the shipwrights, and peremptorily denied by the mas ters as contrary to all usage, and never having been heard of till within the last few months. In another, on account or' the removal of an inefficient workman (said also to have been sent in by the Union) from a particular work . to which he was thought incompetent, although other employment was offered to him in the yard. In the principal ones, however, the cause stated is, that the masters have fixed in their yards, and re fused to remove, a copy of certain regulations, in conformity to which they have have jointly determined their work should be conducted. Your Committee do not here advert to the de mand for a book, fixing the prices of all work; for although it is amongst the proposed objects of the Union to obtain such a one, it does not appear to be the immediate cause of the present cessation of work in any of the establishments. " From the examinations of Mr. Lomax and Mr. Gast, and others, it will be seen that your Committee entered into a mi nute examination of the regulations referred to, for the purpose of discovering what there was in them which could furnish to the men a subject of well-grounded complaint and resistance to their masters: they have not, however, been able ta find that the regulations, so fixed up by thelnasters, contain any thing inconsistent with what has been hitherto the general practice in the principal yards of the river Thames, nor to any one of them have either Mr. Lomax or . Mr. Gast, two of the leading Wm bers of the Association, stated objections founded on any prac tical grievance arising out of them, that in the smallest degree operate on the minds of your Committee, as a rational expla nation of the course taken by the shipwrights. They have, in fact, admitted the real difference between the men and their masters, in regard to the regulations tbernselves, to be scarcely intelligible, and it evidently consists less in the manner of the regulations than in the promulgation of them. In the contem plation of your Committee, this gives the character to the pre sent contest, which they cannot but consider as chiefly a strug- . gle for power on the part of the shipwrights, and an attempt to establish a controul over the conduct of their masters : nor can they adduce a more striking proof of the dangeroui effect of the spirit of combination, than that so large a body of men should be led to abandon their employment, and array. themselves against their employers, without a substantial interest to serve, or a real grievance of which to complain. In the evidence it is affirmed, on the authority of commu nications with the men themselves, that although they express an earnest desire to return to work, they are deterred by the ap prehension of being subject to insult from the other members of the Union." So far it will be admitted, that the Ship-builders of . the Port of London have at least madd out their case against the men, anti that Messrs. Lomax, Gast, and Company, have com pletely failed in chewing any thing like " an Objection founded on any practical grievance arising out of them, that in the smallest degree oporated on the minds of the Committee, as a rational explanation of the course taken by the Shipwrights." The. Report, indeed, very justly observes, that the men them selves have admitted " that it is not a question of wages, but a question of power." With whom then, I would ask, can that power be so properly vested as with the Masters ? Do they not employ the men, and pay them their wages? ,and are not the dock yards, where the men work, the master's property ? Are they net the only persons who are responsible to the ship.owner (under the heaviest pe nalties) for the due performance of the work P and yet Messrs. Lothax, Gast, and Company say, " though the property is yours, and you have all the responsibility, we will have the power, we will be masters, and you shall submit to US; and if you won't allow us to direct the men as we please, while they are working on your premises, we will prevent them from working there at all !" This is percisely what they have done, for the men have refused to 'work under the builders regulations, and have in consequence left the principal dock yards in the River. I sincerely hope, therefore, that Parliament will pro. ♦ide a remedy for this monstrous evil, and that a clause will be introduced into the Bill which is this night to be again con sidered, providing against a recurrence of these evils in future, so destructive to the interest both of masters and men, as well as to the best interests of society. I humbly conceive that these interests will not be sufficiently protected without the introduction of a clause into the Bill, preventing any Association, or persons employed by them, from interfer ing in any shape with those men who are peaceable and disposed to work. The clause should provide not only against threats and intimidation, but also against insult, bri-. beret, or any hindrance whatever. If this be not done, nothing will be done to better the present condition either of master or man ; for, as the law now stands, the factious demagogues con nected with these mischievous Associations are too cunning to use either " threats or intimidation." It is by insult and bribery they accomplish their object; and this will fully appear on reference to the Report of the Honourable Committee, in which it is distinctly stated, that " ALTHOUGH THE MEN EXPRESS AN EARNEpT DESIRE TO RETURN TO WORK, THEY ARE DETERRED FROM DOING SO BY THE APPRE HENSION OF BEING SUBJECT TO INSULT FROM THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE UNION." This is a most im portant point in the Hon. Committee's Report, and I hope it will not be lost sight of this evening on the third reading of the Bill. VERITAS. BIRTHS.

CORONERS' INQUELTS. SUICIDE. On Saturday afternoon an Inquest was held at the Rodney's Head, Rodney-street, Penton vine, before THOMAS STIRLING , Esq. on view of the body of 111 r. Jam es Fi n li , a Jew, who lodged at No. 16, John street, Pentonville. Previously to the arrival of the Cot'oner, the Clerk proceeded to take down the evidence of the wit nesses before the Jury were sworn. The Gentlemen summoned to attend as Jurors observed, that such a proceeding was im proper, because it was giving them an ex parte view of the case, before they were legally sworn to hear the evidence.— The Clerk said that it was done to expedite the business by the time the Coroner arrived. The Jury, however, persisted in their opinion, and the clerk desisted.--By the evidence ad duced, it appeared that the deceased had gone up stairs to his bed-room between 11 and 12 o'clock, and s h or tly aftenvards the bedroom , rooi3ell was heard to ring violently. The servant maid and her mistress went up stairs, but found the door fast. They imme diately gave an alarm—the mistress shrieking wildly at the door till the watchman arrived. The watchman broke the panel of the bed-room door, and putting his hand \ through, he undid the bolts. On entering the room, a most shocking spectacle pre sented itself ; th e y f oun d the deceased lying on the bed with his throat dreadfully cut across, so much so, that the head was nearly severed f rom t h e body. It appeared that he had commenced cutting his throat with a razor while standing before the dressing-glass ; from thence he had walked round to the bed side, and thrown himself on the bed. The blood had rushed so impetuously from the wound, that it extinguished the candle, which was found standing on the bed, allover blood. In his fall he must have caught hold of the bell-rope; for it was found grasped in his hand, which occasioned the violent ringing.— A lady, residing at Nortonfalgate, who had known the de ceased for several years, said that he had dined with her on Friday, when he complained much of his head. She had fre quently observed, for some time past, that his mind was much affected. He had failed in business about ten 'months ago, and ,that circumstance had since preyed upon his mind. He was a: general merchant in the city. The Coroner observed, that from all the circumstances it appeared the deceased had com mitted the rash act under the momentary impulse of aber ration of mind. There was a striking similarity between his case and that of the late lamented Sir Samuel Romilly, who, on hearing his niece coming up the stairs, went and bolted the door: The deceased seemed to have taken the same pre cautions. The Jury returned-a verdict of " Insanity." LON DON MA It KETs. PRICE OF BREAD.
