TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DA I IX Astrae.t I front the Mot-lung Papers, Sept. 23, 1 82b. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] It is generally supposed that the Cabinet Meeting, which assembled yesterday, was con vened for the purpose of deciding the question, whether Parliament should be dissolved forth with, or in the ensuing spring. Without pre tending to judge how far this opinion may be correct, we can only say that a number of silly stories, connected with it, have been of late put forth with an industry only equal to their ab surdity. It has been stated, for example, that the Cabinet was so much divided on this subject, as to occasion threats of secession on the part of those Members who have credit for the greatest lib-erality. We shall not stop to enquire how this Cabinet secret came to he so well k►►own; but ,hair content ourselves with mentioning the al leged ground of these menaci►►g demonstrations. That. party in the Cabinet who are friendly to Catholic Emancipation are represented as strenu ously - opposed to a dissolution at this time, on account of the ferment which the recent agita tion of the claims of that Body has occasioned throughout the country, and which might turn the elections against them. In reference to this, we shall remark, in the first place, that we cannot perceive a single symptom of this pretended fer ment, and in the next, that we are equally at a }oss to discover those alleged signs of disunion in the Cabinet. If there be any ferment, it does not exist, at least, in the great body of the peo ple, who never were so free from passion and prejudice as they are at this moment. The state of the country too has none of the characteristics of a divided house ; on the contrary, its flourish ing condition attests not only the ability, but tl►e perfect spirit of harmony, with which its affairs are managed. Is the country so indifferent to the blessings it now enjoys, that it would sink them all in the single question of Catholic Eman cipation ? The mere supposition would be a satire upon the Public, the more unjust, because it was never less merited ; for, with a trifling exception, the spirit that prevails upon all subjects, con nected with civil and religious liberty, is excel lent in this country. [TUE TIMES.] The Bank meeting yesterday ended in a man ner more peaceable than had been conjectured whether it ought to be satisfactory is another question.. Mr. Young put several interrogatories to the Governor, which went to points of great importance, as well in relation to the amount of the currency as to the engagements of the Bank, and were answered explicitly, and without appa rent hesitation. The sum of the intelligence thus obtained was, that the notes at present in circulation amount to 18,200,0001., which is less by 400,0001. titan than the quantity out last year. That the whole amount of Exchequer bills sold, and that within three months-, dues not exceed 670,0001. That the . sums lent out on. mortgage, of which it does not appear that any have been called in, do not exceed 1,400,0001., and the ad. vances on stock 480,0001. From this account it would appear that no very considerable change has taken place in the amount of the paper cir culation within the last twelve months, so far as Bank-notes are concerned. The difference is, according to the Chairman, not more than 400,0001. A miscalculation seems to have been made by a cotemporary on this subject, which adds to the above difference the amount of Ex chequer Bills sold, and of advances on stock re paid to the Bank ; and thus swells the reduction below the amount of last year to 1,550,0001. — Now, so far as we can understand the (Alicia' statement, it means that there were re-issues of the Bank paper received for Exchequer Bills ird of that repaid for advances on stock, to at extent which brought the total of the outstanding Bank notes to wNhin 4001,0001. of last year's valor: It remains to be settled whether, with the exchanges so severely against us, and the immense increase in the price of alt necessaries, there ought not to have been a much more extensive reduction of Bank of England paper. Upon this subjecti.however, it must be admitted, that the requisitereduction of the circulating medium may bave been effected in gold as well as in .paper— that.iupposing the Bank to have been perfectly confident in their own credit with the commercial world, and satisfied at the same time that a great . body of people prefer Bank-notes- to gold, as a Knitter of convenience, so as, in spiteof the profit on.,exported gold, to ensure the circulation of the notes, they might consider themselves justi. *able in limit;ngthe diminution of their Bank notes, to the sum referred to, of 400,0001. But the Governer declares, that the Bank is in no way answerable for the fluctuations in the money rnefket; and, indeed, from the comparatively smelt fluctuations of that great establishment, there is a prini a facia ground for this position of the; worthy. Chairman. Whence, then, have the itteguiar,•aail -to 'some people alarming, moves . ("eats in time market originated ? .We stated our selves,secno weeks ago, that the causes alleged lot the adverse exchanges, a'nd for the more rpcient„panic and convulsions did not appear quite conclusive. There was proof, indeed, that the Hatsk - had power, by its 'constitution, as well •as kr its coanexionrwith the Government, to pro iltiCC the full amount of mischief. which affected assi----but-tradoubtedly not proofsufficient-that the poorer had, been so mischievously employed. It announced frorn the Chair, that the mea. 7 sure& of the Bank of England have been steady and uniform, amidst- the ,agitations of the stock, tb.e4ponied, and commercial- Markets. The in ference is, therefore, that the Bank proceedings cannot have heed the immediate cause of the ii.ucttietions. IfAlie,rage for speculating in•loans or goods, .nr,fOreign funds, or joint stock compa aieOktxsakttred-witb, or spurred on by, the , low rate of interest at which the Bank discounted, antreO,:which the public funds were reduced - if this were the direct moving power of : the grievance, it is' one which will not, as we sup porn, be able to -operate with the same energy as .- it -has done. The quantity of capital thus thrown into the market of general enterprise and speculation, and embodied, as it mast have been, in the shape of gold, would act precisely like that over-issue of paper of which the Bank has been accused, in raising prices, compelling importa tions, and creating against England an unfavoura ble condition of the exchanges. But the remedy will flow from the disorder itself—extravagant prices must fall, where there Is no forced paper circulation. Ad verse exchanges must correct them selves by a physical necessity above all controul or obstruction. The imports cannot long exceed the exports, any more than the precious metals can be furnished ad infinitum by capitalists, to supply the balance. Let us then have no more laW making upon the subject of exchanges or cur rency—let us not dabble with questions which always in the long run adjust themselves, and in a manner more commodious for the general inte rest than has ever h.'en accomplished by the le gislature. Some wholesome laws against stock jobbing may be necessary ; but we wish not to go much further. [saw msEs.] The attack on the Bank Directors was renewed yesterday, the sapient Editor of The Times hay ing sounded the trumpet before him in an article more than usually asinine. The leading orator on the occasion appears. to .he one of those worthy Gentlemen who think the public has an indis putable right to know every thing. It is true that he demands the,production of the Accounts only as a Bank Proprietor, but it is quite cer tain that it would be making them public pro perty. They would naturally slide into the newspapers, and every item would undergo the profound remark, or the severe reprehension, of Messieurs the Editors. We w ish to know where.this omnivorous appetite for information is to end. Must every bill discounted by the Bank be stated in the newspapers ? Is every merchant's ledger to be opened to the inspection of the writers of reports and paragraphs' lf so, Paul Pry is but a type of the.curiosity of the public. An Evening Paper, echoing the bray of the morning oracle, exclaims against " the myste rious veil" which covers the transactions of the Bank of England, just as if the same mysterious veil did not cover the transactions of every other Bank. The Directors yesterday evinced the utmost readiness to give all the information that could be at all necessary or useful ; and in fact the replies of the Chairman to several of the questions put to him, -served to correct many erroneous impressions that hack .prevailed out of doors. It appeared from his statements, that the amount of Bank paper now in circulation is less by 400,0001. than it was this time twelve month, and that the total amount of Exchequer Bills sold within the last three months, instead of being seven millions, as was rumoured, - has been only 670,0001. [MORNING rosT.l French Papers to.the 21st inst., and the Mode of Wednesday, reached us last night by Express. They contain but little news, and abound with reflections respecting the conduct which we are likely to adopt towards Greece, and the prodi gious increase of influence which we have acquir ed over all the Cabinets and Sovereigns of Eu rope through our new and liberal system of po licy. With regard to our conduct towards Greece, it seems to be generally expected that, consistently with our high character for en lightened principles, justice, and humanity, we shall not reject the prayer of a deserted, betrayed, and perishing people ; but that, with out directly accepting its Protectorate or sending fleets and armies for its relief, we shall use the right with which the application of the Greek Government invests us, in a manner calculated to produce such a degree of unanimity amonz the Christian Powers, as will prove more effective with Turkey than the unsheathing of an indivi. dual sword. The Journal des Debuts even goes farther. It intimates that as Austria at this very moment occupies the kingdom of Naples, and France that of Spain, " contrary to the positive letter of treaties," so England might take Greece under her special protection without giving offence to any member of the Holy Alliance.— It even adds, that " by recognizing the legality of the blockade decreed by Greece, and by submitting to it, England has de facto acknow ledged the independent existence of Greece, and may urge this tacit and antecedent recogni tion, as .a ground for accepting the Protectorate which the Greeks, whose independence she had thus admitted, have offered to her." There is certainly •much truth and strength in this rea soning, and it is-gratifying to see, that whatever step we may take in favour of the Greeks, we may rest assured beforehand of the approbation of those, whom national jealousies might have been expected to actuate, but who lay them down frankly on this occasion, and proclaim themselves " ready to applaud the deliverance of Greece, from whatever quarter it may proceed." [Barn srt rums.] Exchequer Bills, which were last week at a discount, continue to fluctuate, but the premium they reach is very slight. It is not unnatural that this circumstance should be considered by many as indicating some failure in our financial prosperity, but the effect is owing to no such cause. It is, no doubt, to be regretted that they should ever fall to a discount, but the real and obvious rea son of their No doing is—that the interest upon them is reduced too low, and, until it is raised, it is too much to expect that they will be so much sought for in the tnoney-market as to bear any con siderable premium. The lowering the interest from twopence to three halfpence was not, in our opinion politic, -as a measure of financial economy. It is the difference between.f,ll. 03.10 d. and //. ss. 7d. which alone occasions their depreciation. This difference cannot be to the Government a saving worth obtaining at the risk of bringing its bills to the condition of a depreciated paper cur rency. The prodigious facility afforded on emergenci e s by the issu e o f Exchequer Bills, is aid of all the great commercial and•financial operations of the Government, must nia'ke it essential that their credit should at all times stand high. At 31.05.10 d. they will he always in demand, aS an investment for floating capital. At that rate of interest, any person looking to an interim einPloYment of his money, will prefer purchasing•ExChequer Bills to buying into the funds, at the risk of their fluc tuation but, at their present reduced interest, they present no adequate inducement to buyers ; they offer no benefit equivalent to the chance of having to sell them at a loss, in the event of the holder having any sudden occasion for the amount locked up in them. He will,tlierefore, prefer keep ing his money at his banker's,ready to be drawn for at the instant,to purchasing governmentbilts,which are daily liable to fall in value, from their languid circulation in the market. With regard to the scarcity of gold, the inconvenience is in its nature temporary. So long as the exchange, as at pre sent, is against us, gold will be carried out of the country ; when it turns in our favour, then will come the re-action, and it will return just as fast as it flowed out. Those persons whose trade it is to traffic in specie, care only for the turn of the market ; while they can sell gold at a profit, they will export it, and no longer ; the moment the turn is favourable, it becomes their interest to bring it back, and all the evils will then dis t appear that were occasioned by the want of it. [MORNING HERALD:] When it was announced that the farce of the " Association in Ireland" was to be revived with " new dresses and decorations," we ventured to predict that it would not succeed. The conduct of "the leaders" had already been so marked with intemperance and political duplicity, that it would be difficult to imagine any large body of people so grossly stupid as to be any longer the dupes of their artifices and ambition. A great deal of dramatic show and contrivance has been made use of since the return of Mr. O'Connell to Dublin, with the view of preserving the appear ance of popularity when the reality was gone. What has been the result ? Only a more decided and general exposure of the weakness of the adventurers who were endeavouring to obtain the importance of notoriety. We are glad to find, that, instead of sympathizing with the disap pointments of the Patriots, the people of Ireland are attending, in general, to matters of more con , sequence to them than the speeches, or antici pated silk gowns, of political lawyers. It is because we wish to see Ireland improved, the comforts of its people promoted, and the capabilities of the nation directed to its own advantage, and the benefit of the King dom generally, that we are so anxious to see the population rescued from the grasp of all ambitious charlatans, of--whatever party, who would keep dissensions alive, and create a dangerous influence for themselves out of the public distraction. The flood-gates of talk have been so long open in Ireland, that it is no wonder the stream of business has run dry. It would not do for the charlatans that the peo ple should have time and inclination to think, reflection would spoil their trade. They would then find that it would be of more importance to keep the weavers and their looms in the country, than to encourage the incessant manufacturers of speeches. his, however, a symptom of returning soberness, that the subject which now principally engages the attention of the Trish milk( is that of " absenteeism." The solemn absurdities which Mr. M'Cu (loch uttered on that subject before the House of Commons, and which we were the first to expose, have excited surprise and indignation. indeed,,may the Irish public be astonished that a person so ignorant of the first principles of political economy should have been put forward to 6 ' lecture" the Legislature on that science, and if he is not ignorant, we must infer something worse from this sycophancy of the absentee Irish landlords, whom every writer of common sense and humanity who know and felt for the miseries of Ireland, has held up to deserved reprobation. 13ANWELL CAVERNS. These lately discovered cavities are of con siderable importance, and alford a fine field for the researches of the antiquarian, the geologist, and the admirer of the extraordinary productions of nature. The smallest of the two caverns is situated at the N.W. extremity of Banwell-hill, and open to the Bristol Channel between Weston super-Mare, and Breen° Down. The entrance is by a low, level passage, proceeding under the hill's elevation about 12 or 14 feet, and terminated by the Cavern, an almost circular space, about 16 feet over, and in some places ten feet high. When discovered, the floor was thickly covered to a considerable height, with the bones of qua drupeds. These have now been thoroughly cleared of the rubbish with which they were mixed, and are arranged for the inspection of the visitor. The specimens shown are of enormous size—antlers of deer, horns of the buffalo—ver tebraa of the neck and back of astonishing dimen sions. Some of the most valuable have, it is said, been removed by an eminent professor, for more minute examination. At the extremity of this cave is a precipitate descent to an apparently im mense,but unexplored, extent, the whole of which declivity is still covered with bones similarly situated with those first discovered, and now purposely left to exhibit their natural situation. The other cavern, which is situated a few hundred yards above, contains none of the remarkable bones, &c. of the former, but its natural ap pearances are of a most curious and striking description. The descent is perpendicular, through a narrow, artificial tunnel, by two lad ders, to the depth of about 150 feet. After quit ting the ladders, the descent, though stil exces sively steep, is effected by steps purposely excavated. When the visitor has passed 20 or 20 feet lower in this way, the cavern, opening to the view, presents a stupendous craggy gulf, while the huge fragments of rock suspended from the roof, appear to threaten destruction to the intruder. The guide now lights a candle at tached to a pole, and as he proceeds down, ex hibits the sides and roof, which tire finely incrust ed with crystallite matter, id many places pro truding three or four inches from the sides, and when a candle is placed behind, appearing per fectly transparent ; in other places strangely as suming the shapes of animals, and beautiful arches ; the hollows in the roof, styled " Bells," are also finely incrusted. At the extremity of the Cavern, amidst an assemblage of rocks and chasms, is a huge fragment of stone, detached on every part but its base, and exhibiting the seg ment of a pulpit. It is most superbly decorated with crystalise , matter, which resembles beads. From its singular situation and appearance, this stone is styled " The Pulpit." The view from this point is sublime—the candles arranged down the craggy entrance, glimmering among profound cavities and ponderous fragments, and exhibiting the entrance rising to the very roof of the cavern, forcibly impress the beholder with his own little ness, and lead him to wonder and admire the vast and awful works of Omnipotence. The profits arising from the exhibition of these cu rious caverns are, we understand, to be devoted o charitable purposes. OLD BAILEY, SEPT. c 22. TRIAL OF LADY LAMBERT'S COACHMAN, FOR THE iiI7R DKR OF NICHOLAS DAWKINS, THE POLICE-orricEtt. Jarnc: Collins, aged 24, a coachman, was charged with the wilful murder of Nicholas Dawkins, by wilfully and mali ciously throwing and casting him upon the ground, and then forcing the wheel of a coach he was driving over the right leg of the deceased, which fractured it, and caused his death.— The prisoner was also charged on the Coroner's Inquest with Manslaughter.-111f. BOLLAND stated the case. The Earl of Westmorland sworn, examined by Mr. Bno- DERICK, stated as follows :—I was at Lord George Caven dish's, in Burlington.house, on the evening of the 23d of May last. I went from the house about half-past twelve, towards the fate, and observed two carriages closely jammed together. I asked for a police-man, whon desired to do his duty : he spoke to the person whom I since knew to be Collins, the pri soner, and then went in front of the carriage the prisoner was driving. I apprehend the other carriage must have given way, as the prisoner drove with great velocity immediately after into the yard. Being struck with his improper conduct, I followed the carriage, and asked the driver whose it was ; he said it belonged to Lady Lambert. I then returned to the house, and told her what had passed. On my return I found the police officer lying against the wall with his leg broken ; he must have been the man I spoke to, to do his duty, but I did not observe him so closely as to be positive he was the same. I saw him in front of the carriage, but did not hear what I said. I saw no violence on his part. James Porter—l am servant to Lord Westmorland, and at tended his Lordship to Lord George Cavendish's ; we got to the gate, and there were two carriages jammed in it; some person called a police-man, who went in front of them with a staff' in his hand, and desired the coachman to move back. The officer took hold of the reins of one of the carriages, and it gave way, the other then passed in at a fast trot ; whilst passing through the gateway, the carriage passed quite close to me, and struck the officer on the leg : he immediately fell, and I went to his assistance ; he complained of great pain, could not stand, and said his leg was broken ; he was then placed on a door, and taken to St. George's Hospital. To questions by Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—I don't know which carriage entered first. Samuel David Dance—l am porter to Lord George Caven dish. 1 recollect seeing a number of carriages come to Bur lington House on the night of the accident. There were two. gates opened on that night. The carriages advanced through the centre or western gateway: Two carriages were jammed together, and the coachme n were flo gg in g t h eir horses , w h e n my Lord Westmorland ca m e up, and desired th e officer to do his duty, who did so, by trying to force them b a ck. One of them• went back, and there was then a general rush in ; the officer was thrown down where I stood, about four or five yards from the gate. Cross-examined —This being the western gate, was the pro per access to the house. The carriage drove the officer in four or five yards, and he was then knocked down and run over. I the transaction occurred so suddenly it was did not particularly notice whether the horses, finding the passage freed, did not rush on of their own 'accord without certainly b oh e fa i .

Two carr iages were whipp e d u p f ur i ous l y toge th e r into the western gate; they were cont en di ng f or pr i or i ty o f entrance . The gateway. being insufficient for two they became blocked up ; the coach men persevered whipping,. and I told them it was a shame, as they could not both get in together.

On the same night he told me to come next morning early, and he died at half-past nine o'clock ;he said "he was a rmo[tNING CHRONICLE.] Mr. Richard Martin again made his appear ance at Bow-street, yesterday, when he improved on his former efforts. The logic is unique in its kind ; it is as difficult to keep fast hold of a live eel as to fix the lion. Gentleman a single moment. What he says on the subject of the switch and bludgeon, and much he does say on the subject, affords a very good criterion of his capability to give evidence. Our readers must recollect that we pointed out to them the Report of Mr. Martin's stating, one moment, that a boy beat a donkey with a bludgeon, and the next moment stating that he brat it with a switch, as affording a proof of how little I his statements were to be relied on, either from some confusion of intellect, or from his imagine- ' Lion disturbing his memory. We could not tell whether the boy made use of a switch or a blud geon, but we know if he used a switch, it was not a bludgeon, and if he used a bludgeon, it was not a switch, and that therefore Mr. Martin could not be right in both instances. This distinction, however, seems beyond the grasp of poor Mr. Martin, the half of whose speech is taken up with shewing that the instrument was a bludgeon, and not a switch. Our readers will in another column find the report on which our observation was found ed. We alluded to the consistency over and over again, copying the material virts of the Report into our columns, not with the view of endeavour ing to prove that the switch was a bludgeon, or the bludgeon was a switch, but that the evidence of the man who swore one moment that the instru ment was a bludgeon, and the moment after that it was a switch, was to be received with great allowance. The production of the instrument by the general officer in whose hands it was de posited, would not by any means throw light on what Mr. Martin said at the time respecting it. A thief who denied he had taken a purse, might as well put his hand into his pocket afterwards and produce the purse, exclaiming, " See, I did not say that I did not steal the purse, for here it is." We imagined that the doctrine of holding to hail for libel had been abandoned, its purpose having been served. Mr. Minshull, however, seems determined to revive a controversy whic Th e may not end with the present proceeding. case is not ours individually, but that of every Journalist. If we can be held to hail, they may soon have the doctrine applied to themselves. -- - - There was an Act passed in the reign of Er.tz,t.
