THE LONDON JOURNALS. DA I LY Eartractsfi Dill the Morning Popo s..Aag. 20, 1825. ['rim 'rimEs.] Althc!ogh, we trust, there is little doubt of the acce;sion of Lord Cochrane's brilliant name and valuable services to the cause of Greece, we have not yet heard any good authority for that portion of the current rumour which assigns a similar part to Sir Robert Wilson as to his Lordship. How ever important might be the assistance of a brave, upright,and skilful soldier, to a people who have, fear; felt the want of leaders as d6tinguished for knowledge and- rectitude as for courage, there '.,;•,ctir to us one or two considerations which ought to weigh with Sir R. Wilson, in forming his de cision upon a proposfl to join the Greeks. In the fire: ptace, although maritime warfare is little ki)nsid er eit upon the Continent, and Lord Coch is! probably not at all regarded by the Turks arunder the cootroul of the British Government, or by the Holy Alliance as a proscribed person, it is not the same With the land-service, or with Sir Robert Wilson. He has long been, as a soldier, otinoxious to the military Potentates abroad, and might provoke them to an intervention against the unfortunate Greeks, more decisive and iniu-1 rious than they might otherwise meditate. With a view, moreover, to the possible good offices of the British Government on behalf of Greece, as a mediator between her and Turkey, it would not be advisable to give the Porte a handle for objecting to the partiality of this Government, on the ground of a man so well known throughout Europe in his military character as Sir R. Wilson, a Member, too,'of the Legislature of Great Bri tain, engaging himself personally in the service of the Greeks. 1 t would of course be, all things considered, a highly generous proceeding of Sir Robert Wilson, to decline a career where glory night be acquired, from the apprehension of em barrassing the present English Ministry ; yet we have heard it stated that such has been the de termination of this gallant officer. EM.OIINING cintoxicrx.i The following Proclamation was found posted up in most of the principal places of the Portu guese capital, in the morning of the 30th of July, and stuck to the walls with a preparation so ex tremely adhesive, that the Police were unable to tear it down. On the morning that it appeared in the capital, it was in the same way found posted up in the main streets of Oporto, Braga, Villa Real, &c. We publish this document without any comment, as we luxe further parti culars on the same subject to lay before our read ers. We long ago noticed the barefaced manner in which the Queen of Portugal and her adhe rents were plotting against the King, for purposes the most nefarious : " PROCLAMATION ADDRESSED TO THE NATION. " Valiant Portuguese—The British Government acts accord ing to a, plan of complete intrigue. They favour our party as far only as they conceive is consistent with their own illa chiavelic views, with unheard of subtilty, afterwards so manag ing, that the French Government should be the executors of the very plots they themselves had framed, by extorting the banishment of our Prince, the only person who ought, to re►gn over us. It was they- (British Government) who dictated the Decree of the 24th June, on seeing that the publication of our innocence and just pretensions, by the competent tribunal, was so near at hand, which would have brought eternal confusion on our enemies. The moment has arrived, Portuguese. The continental governments are en our side, and, although the ab dication of the King should not take place, an equivalent will - be - obtained, without the number of evils, Portuguese, such a measure would bring with it. Let us therefore, unite—let us ward off the tempest gathering against us, by resorting to a policy that is not our own. Let us establish a Regency, pre sided over by the Queen, our Lady, with whom alone we can be happy" [TUE PUBFJC LEDGEII.] it was reported last night that Lord Coch ranehad actually set out for his new destina. tion ; but, if this report ,be premature, it will be only so for a day or two longer. We under stand, in the mean time, that there is no truth in the rumour which appeared in a Morning Paper, and in which it was stated that he would visit Scotland previously to his setting out fyr Greece. As his Lordship knows the advantages of pro ceeding with celerity in the business in which he is•ongaged, he will not lose a moment's time, we should think, beyond what is absolutely neces sary in order to complete his arrangements. We should imagine too, that every thing was ready, or nearly so, before the public was let into the secret ; and this supposition is the more proba ble, as the plan is nut a sudden suggestion, but actually formed the subject of a correspondence between the Greek Committee and his Lordship whilst he was still in the Brazilian service. We understand, it is settled, that two vessels large enough to cope with any two carrying the Turk ish flag, are to he. placed in the first instance at the disposal of this eminently enterprising and skilful alter ; and as to steam boats, any num ber that it may be deemed advisable to employ, can be obtained at a few hours' notice. There is no want too of the necessary funds ; and every thing seems to have been arranged in a way • that reflects great credit on the persons intrust erl :With the arrangementS, and encourages most sanguine anticipations of success. ' EVery • man with whom we have conversed on the subject anticipates also the• most brilliant results ; and the change, which 'the ac cession of a single arm to the Greek cause has' produced on the' feeling's of the PubliC wards it, is Certainly a fine tribute to theProfesi., sional character Of Lord Cochrane. This homage is in like manner a source of high gratification to the admirers of real, as distinguished from'coni ventional, Worth ; and the unlimited, confidence placed by the Public in his tridents, and which, like a lambent flame, encircles his brows, sheiwp thri f t true merit cannot be put down by the frowns: 'of power. . , [BRITISH PR ES.S.i The Paris Paperswhich arrived last nigk tare deyoid of political intelligence. The' constitutional question . regarding the right'of the ,:Grown to concede the. independence of Ilayti is discussed at con►;iderable length by the,Journa.. The.principal,difficulty on the. part of the. Alinst,ry is, with respect,to the indemnity to the; old colonist.% : It seern.quite clear, that under a Representative Government the rights of any set of citizens cannot he bartered away without their consent or the consent of the Legislature. The anxiety of M. De Villele to bring this negocia tion to a successful close just at the time when it would operate favourably on the Stock Exchange, has betrayed him into an utter contempt of all constitutional principles, The Journal des De bats contends that one of three modes of proceed ing must now he adopted 1. The Royal Ordinance must be• converted into a law at the next Session of the Chambers ; or 2. A Bill of Indemnity must be obtained for the Ministers; or 3. The Ministers must be impeached. It is not likely, however, that either of these courses will be exactly followed. A law mill probably be introduced to regulate the distribu tion of the indemnity, and in this indirect man ner the departure from constitutional principles will be to a certain extent reconciled to them. —These papers contain no later news from the Morea. In a supplementary sheet, the Journal des Debuts has published the Address of the Provisional Government and Ecclesiasti cal Chiefs of Greece to the Pope. The object of this address is to solicit his Holiness to point out to the Greeks a Prince -of royal blood, and belonging to the Catholic Church. When the kingdom shall be established, Greece will be ready to adopt such laws as may he judged use ful and beneficial both as to her own internal warfare and-the general interests of European politics. The address afterwards beseeches the Pope to espouse the Greek Church, which, since the martyrdom of the Patriarch Gregory, has been in a state of widowhood. The Patriarch since appointed by the Sultan is declared to be in. trusive and illegitimate. The address predicts that the union of the Roman and Greek Churches will be followed by the adhesion of the filial churches of Bulgaria, Servia, Moldavia, and even of Russia. The document is altogether of a very singular nature, and, if authentic, as it pur ports to be, it may lead to important conse quences in the Christian world. It was present ed to Prince Barbarini, the Papal Chamberlain, o❑ the 24th of May, and on the 6th of June an answer was returned to the Greek Commissary, that the Pope had received it on the day on which it was delivered to his Minister. IMORNING POST.I We expressed some doubts yesterday respect ing the truth of the report which stated that Sir Robert Wilson had engaged to take a command in the projected expedition to Greece. These doubts we find were ,correct, and we are autho rised to say that the gallant Officer does not pro ceed with Lord Cochrane, and that the expedi tion will be wholly a naval one. It is to convey certainly a large auxiliary force, but that force is to consist chiefly of seamen and gunners. The 300,0001. are ready in the hands of the Greek Committee, and his Lordship enters into the service without any stipulations regarding himself. He left town on Thursday for a few days, and early next month will proceed to Scotland. In October, we understand, he is to return, and as every thing is to be prepared by that period, his departure and that of the expe dition will probably take place in that month.— We wish that it had been earlier, as the affairs of Greece, though wearing a brighter aspect than they did a month ago, are still placed in a most critical situation, and the arrival of his Lordship with such powerful means at his dis- posal, could not fail to turn the scale in favour of the struggling Patriots. But it is evident that an expedition on so extensive a scale cannot be fitted out without considerable time and exer- tions, and that the latter must even be great to have every thing ready as early as O;tober. [NEW TIMES.] We have received several warm protests agains the doctrine supposed to have been laid down by Sir Richard Birnie, of the passive obedience due to watchmen. We suspect, indeed, that some of the remonstrants are on the youthful side of twenty-five ; and that they have a little fellow feeling with the young gentleman who was con versing by moonlight in the street with a fair Frenchwoman, at two o'clock in the morning. " It is no wonder,"•says one irate writer, " that these guardians of the night have become, what they certainly now are, the greatest nuisances in the metropolis !" " What !" says another, is a respectable individual to be dragged to a dungeon merely because he hesitates to obey the insolent and arbitrary order of a watchman to move on?" For our own part we must confess, that if the question were to turn on the discretion of the watchmen, we could find little lo say in their fa vour. They are certainly not a class of persons to whose legal knowledge or gentlemanly feel ings we should he much inclined to defer. But after all, even an Irish watchman (and most of these night-work gentry are Ilibernians), may by chance be right. in the case before us, ,Mr. Dennis Murphy (or whatever else was the watchman's name) did not begin, as is the way with some of his countrymen, by knocking down the gentleman first, and then bidding him stand. He simply gave a gen tle admonition to parties, under circumstances that seemed to call for such a hint, lie carried into effect orders which lie had received from higher authority. We cannot but say consci entiously that Dennis was right : and though we., have as constitutional a dread of this branch of the paid Magistracy, as our friend in 'The Morning Chronicle has of the unpaid Ma gistracy, still, when they confine themselves with in the limits of their strict duty, we do think ,they ought to he protected. The rulo of" move on" i, a very sound and goOd one for a city like London. We cannot see what very salutary ' purpose single gentlemen and ladies can have in view, by blocking up* the pavement at midnight, and carrying on their dialogues (as they usually do on such occasions) in an elevated tone of voice, and with a choite profusion of epithrts. When this occurs, it is very apt to attract an audi t tory, which soon forms 'a crowd, which presently becomes a mob, which ere long generates a riot ; whereas the 'proverb says, " the rolling stone gathers no moss." Promenading lovers attract no observatiort : it is only when they are stationary that they forth a rallying point for the idle, the dissolute, and the uproarious. Whoever Lid down this wise law of 64 move on" under- stood human nature, and knew that prevention is better than remedy. We.regret that we don't know his name : he was certainly as great a street legislator as Michael Angelo Taylor, to say the very least. LMORNING HERALD.] Nothing can be more disgusting than the vio lent and indecent tirades (we had almost said, the seditious ribaldry) with which some of the itinerant orators in Ireland continually load .the Duke of York. According to these people, who are too such wordy lovers of liberty, the Heir Apparent to the throne is the only person in the kingdom not entitled to think for himself : and in proportion as they claim and exercise unbounded liberty of speech for themselves, would they deny it to those who differ from them. The Catholics com plain too that they are accused of holding a divided allegianCe between their own Sovereign and the Pope. This they deny ; but to dis prove it, they evince a divided allegiance at borne, more mischievous to themselves and to their cause than the foreign one with which they are upbraided ; for while they speak in terms of occasional adulation of the Kiwi, the sentiments they use towards the Prince who may to-morrow be their Sovereign, are such as nothing like the spirit of allegiance can for a moment be coupled with. But, luckily, experi ence has show❑ that violent talkers are not to be taken at their word : and we dare say that should the Duke of York, in the course of na- ture, ever ascend the throne, he will find his pre sent vituperators in Ireland as ready to laud him to the skies as they now are to vilify and misre present him. The linen-drapers, haberdashers, mercers, hosiers, and other shop-keepers of those descrip tions of business, held their meeting yesterday. It was very thinly attended, there not being more than from about 50 to 60 shop-keepers present. The object, as we mentioned yesterday, is to pre vail on the whole of the masters of certain trades to agree to shut up their shops earlier than is at present the custom, so that the shopmen and The apprentices might sally forth so much ear lier in the evening to the theatres, the oyster and coffee shops, public and gaming houses, &c.. &c. Mr. John Waithman was in the Chair, and certain Resolutions were proposed and passed ; afterwards a desultory conversa tion took place, as to the propriety of the shop-keepers then present signing a , paper expressive of their adherence to the proposed beneficial arrangement for the shopmen and the apprentices. On its being suggested by some that before any signatures were entered into, the sentiments of the linen-drapers, haber dashers, and other similar shop-keepers, might be had, the signing of any thing was deferred. Be fore the parties separated, it was, said that the measure had originated with Messrs. Waith man, Schoolbred, Brooks, and a few other linen-drapers, who are driving considerable busi ness, and whose object it is to close their shops early that they may not be interrupted by customers in folding up their goods and posting their hooks. A subscription was entered into to pay the expences of the Meeting, and we should also suppose, to reward Mr. Biss, the Shopmen and Apprentice's Secretary, for his sex'. vices.--(lbid.) EAU BRINK DRAINAGE. A numerous and most respectable meeting of the Drainage Commissioners was held at the Griffin lnn, March, on .I'hursday . the 12th instant, the Rev. ALGERNON PEYT ON in the Chair. The meeting was also attended by a deputation from Lynn, and by Mr. Hoseason from Marshland. —The proceedings of the last quarterly meeting, held at the same place were read over, which detailed the funds at the dis. posal of the Commissioners, and their intention to apply them to the widening the area of the Cut one-third more than its present extent; provided the gentlemen of Lynn and Marsh land would pledge themselves not to take any legal or Parlia mentary proceedings, until three years after the completion of the projected increase in the width of the cut. Mr. Lane, of Lynn, then read a series of resolutions which had been passed by a meeting of gentlemen of Lynn, and proprietors of Marsh land (parties to the late Bill), held at the house of Mr. Bien ' cowe. These resolutions in effect pledged the gentlemen of Lynn, and proprietors of Marshland, to auspeful all legal or Parliamentary proceedings, until such time as, in the opinion of the engineers, Messrs. Telford and Rennie, the operation or effect of the increased cut could be manifested.— Letters — from Messrs. Telford and Rennie were then put in and read. The former Gentleman expressed his opinion that three years might be necessary, while Mr. Rennie was of opinion that two would be sufficient. Mr. Pryme moved that the communication from the Lynn and Marshland pro prietors be received and adopted. A long desultory conversa tion then ensued as to the period of two or three years ; Mr. Lane and Mr. Bleneowe conceived-they were bound by the opi nion of their own engineer (Mr. Telford) to the longer term ; while Mr. Hoseason contended for the shorter. But after a fruitless attempt "to split the difference," the latter gentleman said that as he wished for unanimity he would withdraw.— Mr. Girdlestone then moved an amendment, with the view more distinctly to bind the gentlemen of Lynn, by obtain ing the personal pledges of the gentlemen present; but after some conversation the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. Lane pledged himself not to proceed in the Mandamus, and Mr. Pryme's original motion, seconded by Mr. bane, was car ried; Mr. Bonfield, Mr. Little, and two other Commissioners only holding up their hands against it. After some other 4 4 orders of course" were disposed of, the meeting separated, apparently well satisfied at the amicable result of the late con test.—(Cambridge Chronicle.) ATTACK or WAsrs.—On Wednesday fore noon, two gentlemen of the names of PAGE and SHIP, residing in Crawford-street, Mary lebone, having some business in the country, were travelling past the demesne of Viscount Mansfield, at Caen Wood, in a tibury, when suddenly they sustained a dreadful attack of wasps, who, in actual myriads, swarmed around them and fastened upon their faces, and indeed covered them; the horse too did not escape the general onset, and such was the pain caused by the stings of the insects, that the poor ani mal reared and plunged in an alarming man ner. Mr. Ship jumped out of the gig, but his insect assailants fastened on his face so thickly, that he sustained a momentry deprivation of sight; his friend could not move, - but roared with pain. At last some farmers' men, who observed the cause of the uneasiness of the gentlemen, came up, and calling upon them to throw off their coats and hats, which were covered with the wasps, soon dispersed and scattered to the wind the dangerous host of insects. The only cause which Mr. Page thinks urged this singular attack, was the fact of some boys having pelted the wasps' nests which abound in the neighbourhood. Mr. Page's face is covered with blisters, and indeed both suffered considerably. >.•.,, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, AUG. 19. Tilt REV. ALEXANDER FLETCHER v. 31 4 )1URDO AND OTHERS. Mr. HART applied for an injunction in this case, to restrain the defendants, Mrs. Margaret 15.1`111urdo, Mr. Amory, and the Sheriff of London and Middlesex, from taking out execu tion upon a judgment, under the following circumstances : The plaintiff, in the year 1818, became the lessee of a cottage at Ilomerton : the lease contained a convent that he should not underlet the premises without leave of the lessor, Mrs. M‘Murdo. The plaintiff expended a considerable sum in repairs; subsequent to which he borrowed certain sums of a neighbour, Mr. Amory, depositing the lease with that gentle man's solicitors, Messrs. Amory and Colts, as security. The plaintiff afterwards made an assignment of the lease to Mr. Amory, without the consent of Mrs. 111‘Murdo, who brought an action of ejectment against the plaintiff, on the ground of breach of covenant. In the meantime, Mr. Amory made the reverend plaintiff his lessee, by means of a lease executed in his favour, pending, however, a negociatiim with Mr. Ashley, the plaintiff's solicitor, for procuring a relinquishment on the part of the plaintiff of all title to the premises, in consideration of a sum of money, in addition to those which had been borrowed. When the Plaintiff was applied to for his signature to the agree ment,-he disavowed the act of Mr. Ashley, alleging he was not his agent ; and refused to execute the agreement. The action of ejectment, meanwhile, went on, and Mr. Amory undertook to defend it; but previous to the trial, he agreed with Mrs. to purchase the freehold; he then confessed judg ment in Mrs. 1%1'111u:do's favour, in order to enable the Sheriffs to eject him ostensibly, but really to eject the plaintiff, for the purpose of letting him (Mr. Amory) into possession. The Learned Counsel, under these circumstances, moved for an in junction to prevent the consummation of this plan, which was clearly a collision between Mr. Amory and Mrs. l'Alurdo. Mr. WAKEFIELD supported the motion. Mr. SUDDEN, on the other side, observed that the Reverand plaintiff was not a person likely to be taken advantage of; his very name inspired a conviction that he would be proof against imposition. Nothing like fraud could be imputed to Mr. Amory ; he had entered into a contract with the plaintiff's agent, Mr. Ashley. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked if Mr. Ashley had made an affidavit ? Mt. SUODEN replied in the negative. The LORD CHANCELLOR considered an affidavit from this gentleman to be very desirable, and directed the case to stand over till it was made. In the meantime his Lordship was of opinion, that if the plaintiff were ejected under Mrs. McMurdo's action, he would have a right to possession by vir tue of the lease from Mr. Amory, unless he had forfeited that right by his own act or that of his agent. It was therefore necessary to have Mr. Ashley's affidavit. If it was furnish ed to his Lordship before Tuesday, he would dispose of the motion. PILICING TON V. SMITH. Mr. ROLPH moved for an order to confirm the Master's report in this case, which related to the guardianship of two wards, nieces of Sir Thomas Pilkington, who, with Mr. Tuff nell, was guardian to the infants. Sir Thomas, not having had the necessary domestic establishment, had applied to be re moved from the office of guardian (as well as his co-guardian, Mr. TufFnell); but having subsequently married, he now wished toretain the guardianship. The Court, however, con firmed the Master's report for the removal of the old, and the appointment of new guardians, and refused Sir Thomas and Mr. TuWnell their costs, as they had applied to be removed ; giving them liberty to present a petition before the first seal. lii LORDSHIP rose this day a little after 12 o'clock, having previously mentioned a variety of judgments he was prepared to give, and intimated that others would employ his time in the country during the long vacation. It is expected that the Court will sit during all next week. PALACE COURT, FRID AY, AUG. 19. LIABILITY OF STAKE-HOLDERS. EVANS V. BEN BURN. Mr. THOMPSON said this was an action brought by the plaintiff, a sporting gentleman, against the defendant, a well known pugilist , for the recovery of the sum of 5/., which had been place in his hands, as stakeholder, to abide the issue of a bet, but which he had whhheld, and improperly disposed of I against the usual (in such cases) given undertaking. The plaintiff called Mr. Wolley, Mr. Clarke, and another, who proved the wager of 5/. to 1/. being betted, the plaintiff betting. the odds, that Grimley could not clear, him of any I joint betting between them which they had entered into I with others. They also proved the repeated application to Burn for the money, but he refused to give it up until Mr. Kirby gave his decision, but that Gentleman refusing, Grimley refused to have any other reference, and declined meet ing all parties at a place appointed to decide the wager, when Burn said he would keep the money for ever.sooner than give it up. The witnesses afterwards heard, to their great astonish ment, that Burn had given Grimley the money, knowing that Mr. Kirby had never decided. Mr. Kirby was called, and proved he never had decided the wager, front a kind feeling towards both parties, who had re peatedly urged him, but he would not. He never had even ex pressed his opinion on the subject. This was the plaintiff's case, and Mr. EARLE addressed the Jury for the defendant. The Learned Judge summed up, and expressed his indigna tion at the proceedings altogether, and lamented the time of the Com - t should have been occupied by so profligate a host of persons. He gave it as his opinion decidedly that in point of law the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 51. with costs. GIBRALTAR, JULY 26.—Two Colombian pri vateers (a brig and a schooner) were cruising in the Straits, in sight of this, yesterday afternoon, and the schooner .has been seen between Ceuta and Asses Hill this morning. HOW TO DETECT ARTIFICIAL PEARLS FROM REAL.—The generality of artificial pearls • are produced of globules of glass, which are blown, and are washed inside with the colouring matter made from the brilliancy taken from the scales of the fish caught in our rivers, viz. roach, dace, bleak, &c. This colouring matter being intro duced into the bead (through the small hole by which the bead is . manufactured) ; after this, it is filled with incited ‘vax, which, upon becoming hard, gives a weight and substance similar to the real pearl ; but this imitation is very easily de tected by close inspection, and by observing the two ends of this description of bead, the holes being considerably larger and rougher than the holes of the real pearl, which is drilled with the greatest nicety and cleanness, without the least appearance of raggedness, which the artificial pearls possess. There are also another sort of imitation pearl that the French very well imi tate, by making the beads of white stone, and colouring them outside, which moisture and fric tion will very soon make manifest by the pearly colouring matter wearing off. SIIOCKI3G ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, as a woman of the name of Clements, residing in Old-street Road, was at the window with her child, a fine boy scarcely eighteen months old, she left him there for a few moments while she went • into an adjoining room, when he over balanced himself and fell out. The mother,.on her return, missed the child, and on looking out of the window, saw the unfortunate infant on the ground, to all appearance lifeless.; she im mediately ran and took the child up and found him still living, but so dreadfully bruised and injured on difitat 'partsof his body, that it is deemed almost impossible for him to recover. Last week a party of drunken men committed the body of one - of their pot-companions, while he was asleep in the chapel yard, near Cleck heaton, to an open grave, and after performing a mock burial ceremony over • him, they began to shovel in the earth. Roused into life by this pre- L mature interment, he started from the grave, and with difficulty made his escape. The Clergyman has taken up the matter, and read the sots a lec ture that they will not soon forget. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLDOROUGH-STREET.—James Collins, charged with the murder of Nicholas Dawkins, a police-officer; by driving rti carriage over him, was brought up yesterday for final exarnin"' tion. On Monday last an inquest was held on the body, when the Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder." The ,arl of Westmorland, who was present at the time th e deceased was run over, not being in town when the inquest visa held, appeared at the office yesterday, and eeave his evidence before Mr. RoE, the Magistrate, to the following effect:" - " On the night of the 23d of May I was at the house of Lord.
