TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the MorniriiP apers , tll arch 2,1 525. [NEW TDIES.I The South London Docks Bill was read a second time last night in the House of Commons. Among the numerous undertak.ing,s, which the growing commerce of the Port of London has of late prompted, these Docks hold a distinguished place. The population in their vicinity has in creased with extraordinary rapidity ; in South wark, Brixton, &c. not less than 5,000 houses save been built within the last two years ; ex tensive manufactories are established all along the south *lde - of the River ; and the Docks will afford facility of communication not only with these but with the IVestern part of the 'Metro ; for their site is not three quarters of a mile distant from London Bridge. Neither must We overlook the circumstance that, comprising, as they do, St. Saviour's Dock., much of the ground is already excavated, and many ware housed built, so - that, at a comparatively moderate expence, the works may, within a year, or a year and a half, he made ready for business. These, and similar considerations, appear to have weighed with the Committee, in recommending this Bill to Parliament, and with the House last might, in acceding to the second reading without a dissentient voice. [BRITI3II rn - Ess.] When any rage for speculation is found ex-, tending itself so far as to be fruitful of losses, which the majority of those who engage in them may not foresee, it is useful that the public Press should raise its warning voice to put the unwary on their guard against delusion. We felt it, there fore, incumbent ou us, when we found the mania for mining shares spreading itself through all telalses, to draw the attention of the public to the prevailing folly, and more particularly to caution ilers,ons of small capital from imprudently risk ing the savings of their industry in schemes which rnitht strip them in a day of what it had cost them -years of labour to accumulate. But, having done this, we had discharged our duty, and we felt that we could not, without injustice, go beyond it ; and it is on this ground that we consider the -attack made by an individual Member on . Monday evening, on the Pasco Peruvian Min ing Company, when debating a question in which the concerns of that Company were in no-, wise before the House, as such a departure from those rules of justice and propriety, as, we hope, a ill never •pass into precedent. Mr. llobjiouse, we are sure,cannot but regret, upon more mature reflection, that he should have so far forgotten • himself as to have made such an attack. We should - - litilitt,; -that what is not .reconcilable with the rules,of private and personal justice, is not consistent 'with the forms of Parliament. With the Pasco P - eruvian mine, or with any other, we }lave no. concern. We have reason, however, to believe,. that the imputation thrown upon it was witiwnt,,the slightest foundation. When 'Air. - 11obhp,use„reflects that, as a - Member of Parlia ment, he may very deeply affect the property and interests of individuals, by deliberate aspersions, which ,as-stnne a serious character from the place • in which they are made, we trust that his situa tion„and his sense of propriety will induce him to express himself hereafter with better warrant - and with more caution. ETHE PUBLIC LEDGER.] The chief topic of conversation yesterday in .• the City, was the financial statement of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer ; and, as far as our own observation went, it actually gave very general satisfaction. Cavillers there were of course ; but, as. they weri- predetermined to blame, their sar casms passed for what they were worth—nothing ; and what may surprise such as are not initiated in - the secret, they belong for the most part to that class of persons, who, from causes best known to themselves, have an indescribable antipathy to economy and retrenchment in the public ex. pendiiure. Moreover, they - are known as . hold- ing in the utmost horror the word innovation, by which they _:ere in the hahit'of designating every improvement ; and they were the first to raise ...cry of alarm, when it was proposed to modify our Navigation Laws, and to remove some of the restrictions that pressed most heavily upon the trade and commerce of the country. With this class of persons, the statement of the , Chalicellor of the Exchequer found no favour; but, beyond their narrow and selfish circle, it rstAl'hailed with approbation. To this alrupsi _universal ex, . pression of . feeling in its'favour, we shall add the feeble testimony of our own praise.; and, what we see most to commend in it, is the mode of reduc4 tion which he has adopted. In this trarticular, the Right Hon. Gent. appears to us to have displayed great judgment, and to have fully sustained the reputation, he had before, of being an able finan. cier. He might have obtained more popularity Aid he made his reductions wholly out of th e Assessed Taxes ; but he would have merited it less ; and the public would have soon found out, ,41 1a i:t o pl a se them. - pot_ always the way to serve them. Ali the reductions have been made upon the princiole of extending trade, increasing productive labour, adding to.the, comfort's of the 'labouring classes, and holding out a check, instead of a bonus, to emigration. They will also secure • a wholesome beverage, in_ fen of those. vile com pounds which are nowyetailed to the Public un der the name of Wine and spirits ; and the mid- ( mug cla4s . of our countrymen. will Once more be a ble •to partake of luxuries, winch' have beetcal-. 1 wa ys within the reach same class in every ' ather country. We should w i s h th a t . t h e p r i n .— eiple . of reduction. had been carried further, pro •vided it could have been done so . conveniently and'witfiout detriment to the public. seriice.; but we tak:e- what , we have got vfitbpleasure, particu larly as there is no indisposition on the part ,of. : Public in this the way, as. 111.inistera to, gr atify _ f 4oon as they can do tt_safely. • • [MOR,NING CHRONICLE.] LIVa are akssured that something l ike j usti c e i s th.bunt, to tr—ilone to the Catholics of N Q P., ,grapoigti:to . , raise the keehol,d. ~ w qualification from 40s. to 101., and to accompany this measure with an admission of the. Catholics to the privileges of the Constitution. With re spect to the raising of the qualification,it can only be altered with advantage. The people, at pre , sent, are driven like cattle to the place of elec tion, so that the alteration will neither add to, nor detract from, their independence. On the other 4iand, the raising the qualification will take from landlords the temptation which besets them at present, to sacrifice beneficial cultivation of their lands to the command of political influence. The alteration may not raise materially the size of farms, where there is want of capital, but, at all events, it will not make farms smaller than they might otherwise be, which the forty-shilling free hold must in many instances have clone. [THE TIMES.] We feel disposed to spend a few words more upon the financial statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The matter is not of great in terest, because there is really but little done.— It is remarkable to see a people thriving, as we really are thriving, by native vigour and energy, under nearly the war burden of taxes. The al leviation proposed this year amounts to no more than a million and a half upon an expenditure of upwards of fifty-six millions : that is to say, the industry of the people havitig %tabled Govern went to realize a greater revenue upon it than had been estimated, that excess and something more will be remitted to us in taxes : 'we shall not be called upon to raise the excess again.— The articles which have been relieved from impost are many of them of so trifling a nature, that the relief in those cases must be partial. " Four-wheeled carriages, drawn " by ponies, 8571. ; Mule. carrying ore, 1371." We are less thankful for the removal of such taxes, than we are indignant that they should have been laid on. Were children's go-carts and rocking-horses taxed during the late %Oar ? If so, it is cruel to suffer those taxes to continue, while others like them are withdrawn. The relief granted in the case of the Assessed Taxes is pro per, no doubt; but it affects only those who are on the confines of pauperism--the occupants of houses under 101. rent, and with seven windows or less. Those classes who would have employed the money remitted to them from the assessed taxes in objects of enterprise and speculation, are suffered , to remain where they were. It is also with real regret that we observe that the Chancellor of the Exchequer calculates upon a greater revenue in the year 1827 than at present. If the revenue be thus great, the taxes of which it is composed can neither be light nor few, nor the establish ments which are to consume them so curtailed as to be strictly appropriate to a state of peace. [MORNING rosT.] The old hacknied subject of what is called Catholic Emancipation, placed in the new bands of Sir Francis Burdett, was again brought be fore the House of Commons last night, when, after a long debate, leave was obtained to bring in anew the old Bill. The majority, however, by which the question was carried, was so very trifling, that there is every reason to expect the Bill will be thrown out on the second reading, for which stage of it the main di3cussion is re served. But, be this as it may, we are satisfied it will not be suffered to pass into a law ; for, should it even pass the House of Commons, its rejection by the Lords is considered positively certain. The debate lasted till half-past three this morning, when the House thus divided— for the Motion, 247; against it, 234—Majority only 13. [MORNING HERALD.] The statements exhibited by Mr. Robinson on Monday night were highly satisfactory. But what will the admirers of the Bayley and the Pitt school say to Mr. Frederick Robinson ? , We are afraid that they will call his speech ra dical. The. admirers of the Pitt and Bayley school were in the habit of saying, that the greater the .taxation, the greater the prosperity of the country ; and that, in proportion as the national debt increased, so in proportion did the wealth of the nation increase. We find Mr. Robinson uttering opinions completely at vari ance with such sentiments. Mr. Robinson. has found out that to reduce debt and taxation is the true State secret, so far. as pleasing the people concerned. He has also found out that, to keep at peace, and not to blunder into war, is the way to reduce debt and taxation. Mr. Robinson would not take the advidebf the Whigs, and plunge the nation into a war on behalf of the Italians, the Nea politans, the Swiss, and the Spaniards, and we now see the fruits of not taking such advice.— Mr. Robinson, in fact, imitates the policy of the Chinese, which appears to have been, to let!' : other nations do as they pleased, while they took care to make it a matter of great favour to nations to come to them for their commo dities ; and, what is singular, they regard not whether their Commodities are taken from China in Chinese ships, or the ships of other nations.— Arnoug the foremost of the taxe6 to be reduced is that on wine ; every body in middling and common life will be rejoiced at that reduction.— It will promote two pleasant consequences, hos pitality and commerce. It will also tend to pro duce a greater degree of good fellowship be tween the Continent and us, especially on the part of the French, our neighbours. In a private sense, -it is the interest of a man to be on good terms with his neighbour. In a political sense, also, it is the interest of contiguous nations to be on good terms ;. and : nothing promotes this so much as mutual interest, the result of commercial intercourse. We wish Mr. Robinson had at once re duced the tax on _French and other wines to as low a tax as that on Port y ine. But then Mr. Ro binson might say, ".‘ I would if it were not for the Methu e n C ommerc ia l T reaty ma d e w ith Por , .tugaL" .We have .often said that commercial . treaties are of noase; now,. here we have an in stance of a commercial treaty being an impedi diment to the.maki ag the t a x on Fr e nch ; claret. &to higherthall , it is on Port. But - their are ‘ ,sorne 7 people merchlly.veaking, Fier chit who imagine that nothing , aorn lthoot a corn 'Fair be done w .-tW I Oar is, that lu,have no. f. commercial treaties is best, for then it leaves boil] I parties at liberty to act as circumstances may oc cur. We believe that we have no commercial treaty with France, .nor is one wanting ; for if the people of England drink French claret—if even the French and our Governments were, the one to prohibit the exportation and the other the importation, yet the smugglers would lay down French claret in any body's cellar in England that could pay for it, and in payment they must take our goods. We are also much pleased at the reduction from the tax on foreign iron, hemp, spirits, and sugar, and we hope this system will gradually be extended. It will oblige Russia, France, and other nations, to reduce the taxes from our goods, or those nations will be as much put about by those regulators o f c o mmerce—the smugglers, as we in England have been. If Mr. Robinson could have taken off the whole of the tax from windows and houses it would have been desirable ; but that could not be done, for it amounts to three mil lions. Besides, it was best to please various people, instead of merely pleasing those whom the Civic Body had stirred up to petition for a total repeal of those taxes. Besides, by not lis tening to those petitioners alone, Mr. Robinson gets rid of a parcel of little paltry taxes, which are really ridiculous. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR FEBRUARY 1825. The extreme mildness and openness of the sea son, combined with almost continued dryness, has considerably facilitated the business of the farmer, and manure has been generally drawn upon the land, and the plough has not ceased its operations all the winter.—The laud is, however, generally speaking, very foul, and we may expect the Wheats will suffer accordingly from the great shelter afforded by the weeds to the slug and other destructive insects. A great breadth of ground is in preparation for spring sowing, in consequence of the wetness of the last autumn ; the land at that period in many of the colder and low parts of the country beirio• almost a morass or a lake. Considerable quantities of land are pre ' paring for Carrots, Parsnips, Mangel Woad, Saintfoin, and other succulent green food. The beneficent use of Mangel Worzel, as a spring seed, becoming now much better known, it is advisable to soak the seeds of the above-mentioned plants on the sock of the farm-yard for a day, and then mix them gradually with sand or light earth, in the rproportion of four peeks to a pound of seed, continue stirring and turning the mixture over for a fortnight until the seeds begin to break, and the sand to part freely from the land. This plan is adopted by many practical farmers, and is found fully to answer, as it ensures the early rise of the plant previous to the weeds mak ing too great head, and greatly facilitates weeding. Good Grain of all descriptions-maintain their prices, and are likely so to do : so much of an inferior quality now making its appear ance in the market. The general prospect of the Farmer is cheering, and should they continue, the whole country will have sincere cause of rejoicing. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

F. ASHLEY COOPER.- We yesterday announced the melancholy - event of the death of this - piling Gentleman, a son of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in a pugilistic contest with the son of_ Colonel WooD, of Littleton, Bucks, and nepheW of the iVfarquis of LONDON.; DERRY. Yesterday .tht!,Secretary of the Noble Earl took away t h• 6 t w o liptthers of the deceased, and at two o'clock . oi(pcorOner's Inquest sat on the body. Several witne s ses were examined, and many questions were asked by the Coroner and the Jury. After a full investigation of the case, according to the evidence, it appeared that no previous malice existed, but that the contest was the result.of an, accidental quarrel, which produced a short fight on the . Sunday, and an agreement that it should be renewed on the-fol lowing day.—After a long contest, a s we state d yesterday, Mr. COOPEit fell exhausted, was car ried to his bed, and being conceived to be asleep, no medical assistance was procured till after his death.We regret that we have not room t o s t ate all the particulars of .thelamentable occurrence as they - were detailed before the Coroner. The Jury retired., and were in consideration for a very considerable time ; at a late hour last evening they ,turned a verdict of Manslaughter aga i ns t Mr. WOOD, the principal, and Mr. ALEX. wELLEsLEy LEITH, the second. The result of the inquiry produced an extraordinary sensation in the .College. The Coroner issued his warrant against the'parties, and placed it in the hands of 'the Constable to execute. We understand that bail to any. amount will be offered for their ap ,.pearance to take their trials, should a Grand Jury find true bills against them ; but the felony with. which•they- stand charged is not a bailable offence. Mr. LErm is said to be closely allied [ to a Noble family, as well as M. Woou. DIED. On Monday, the 28th of February, the Hon. Anthony Francis Ashley Cooper, fifth son of the Earl of Shaftesbury.
