Tim LONDON JOURNALS. —014011. DAILY Extract, from the Morning Papers, Oct. 14, 18gb. [MORNING POST.] French Papers to the 12th inst. and the Etoile of Wednesday reached us last night by Express. They contain but little intelligence, and none that is important. The news from Greece con sist chiefly of rumours, all however of a favour able nature. According to some, Ibrahim Pacha was completely hemmed in at Tripolizza, suffer ing severely under the want of provisions, and vainly expecting relief from the troops which the Captain Pac h a had been dispatched to fetch from Alexandria, but which the Pacha of Egypt was in no hurry to send. According to others, the pretended Conqueror of the Morea had been compelled to evacuate all the line of country which he had occupied, and to retire to Navarino• in order to be nearer the aid which he was most anxious to receive. Another rumour, founded no doubt, on the late offer made to England, is said to have been in cir culation amongst the islands, that a King had been appointed for Greece with the ap probation of Great Britain, and that we had engaged to furnish, besides land forces, such as sistance by sea as might be necessary. To deny the correctness of such a report would be super fluous ; but yet though grounded in error, its prevalence seems to have exercised a beneficial influence over the late operations of the war. It has encouraged the Greeks, and to a correspond ing degree alarmed and obstructed the Turks. Doubtful whether they might not soon have to encounter an enemy of tried-prowess and superior might, the Ottoman Commanders have lost the dating spirit which they displayed at the open ing of the campaign, and which there is reason to believe, had been excited by the consci ousness of secret support from two European Powers. They are grown timid and hesitate,and thus allow a breathing time to their destined victims, which is not left unimproved. The appearance of an American squadron in the seas of Greece, has also contributed to encrease the alarm and perplexity of the_ Ottomans. This squadron, even before it is joined by the Brandy wine frigate, which, after bringing back General La Fayette to France, is going to the Mediterra nean, is sufficiently strong to - put all the fleets of the Porte and its satraps to the rout. Its pre sence is therefore a ground of deep anxiety to the Divan, and one of corresponding encouragement and hope to the Greeks; and it is more than doubtful, whether as long as it remains in the vicinity of the seat of hostilities, the Egyptian Pacha will trust his troops and vessels 'to the sea, though the object be nothing less than the rescue of his own Son from the hazardous situa tion in which his enterprising confidence, and the defeat of his intended supporters have placed him. [BRITISH PRESS.] On Tuesday we stated briefly the substance of the intelligence which we had received from Cal cutta, respecting the decisive successes obtained over the Burmese forces by Sir Archibald Camp bell. We are this (lay enabled, on , the best authority, to lay before our readers the details of those operations which have conduced so signally to establish beyond all reach of danger, our per manent empire in the East. Sir Archibald Camp bell, who appeared to have carried on his pro jects with the greatest activity,. had advanced to within two days' march of Procne; but finding that the enemy had collected in superior force at Donabew, and had taken up a strong position on the Irrivraddy river, he deemed it prudent to make a retrograde movement in support of Bri gadier-General Cotton the. free passage of that riverbeing essential to the success of all his future proceedings. Aware . of the extreme danger which awaked his army at Prome-, should any important reverses happen at Donabew, he deter mined to repair thither himself ; he arrived before it on the 26th March. The place was immediately invested ; the garrison, with a strong detachment, made two several sorties ; brit they were bravely repulsed, and the greater part of them destroyed. On the '2d of April a rocket, early in the day, was fatal to their General, the valiant Bundoola b. The Burmese held this Chieftain to be invin cible ; their superstition had always regarded him as the God of Battles. The die was now cast ; an appalling consternation struck through the whole garrison, and they made their escape, to a man, under cover of the night, and Kith such precipitation, as to leave behind all their artil lery, together with their magazines of every de scription. Sir Archibald having possessed himself of Donabew, prepared, with the utmost expedi tion, to return to Prome ; all his army had re crossed the Irrawaddy on . the ll th, at Surravah ; here he was joined by Brigadier-Generals M'Creagh and Armstrong, who commanded a re-inforcement of the Royals and some native troops from Rangoon. By the latest informa tion received from this gallant Commander, it appears that the :Burmese Chiefs, toge ther with vast masses of the population, are anxiously tendering their submission, and two of hisßurmese Majestyji Privy gOiiircillors have noti fied their arrival atProme, end their being debuted by their - Master to enter, if permitted, into an immediate negotiation for peace. Sir Archibald, ins reply, intimated his consent to meet them, on what he considered to be, on their part, so pru dent an errand. The preliminary meeting was expected to take place. on the 23d April. Tine Burmese had been, during the preceding month, actively employed in stockading Procne. Sir Archibald has proposed to these heralds of peace that he should be allowed to take quiet posses sion. Should this proposition be opposed, which is not likely, those who know the promptitude of decision which marks his character, know that he wilt not wait for a second refusal. The military skill and bravery of this distinguished officer have at length brought this harassing con flict to an end, and destroyed, we hope for every all hopes of a successful confederacy of these lo dian tribes, that had so formidably menaced the safety of our possessions in the East. The value of this service is inestimable. Sir A. Campbell, we may rest assured, will make such a treaty as' shall leave the King of Ava without the means of organizing hereafter any force that may at all endanger the renewal of hosti lities. Would it not be politic to profit by this crisis, and to place the Burmese territory at once under the Company's Government ? The beneficial effect of such an incorporation, in main taining the undisturbed prosperity of India, is obvious. The Burmese themselves, under such an alliance, would learn gradually to estimate the blessing of civilization and tranquillity, which they would enjoy under British protection. They ‘would, in progress of time, become familiar with the principles of political and moral justice. As a feudatory state, it would, moreover, form a na tural barrier—indeed the only one—between us and China. Certainly the best result of the ope rations of war is the power of thus making them subservient to the obtainment of permanent. peace. [NEW TIMES.] We have been tavoured with the sight of seve ral private letters from Rangoon, written, about the latter part of the month of March, the fol lowing extracts from which afford . a lively picture of the state of affairs at that period:— " We expect that the whole army, with the exception of a corps left to garrison Rangoon, will proceed to Prome, about 200 miles ; where they will concentrate and canton during the rainy season, which commences towards the end of May and lasts till the end of November. During this period the coun try, from being low and swampy, is generally under water, and military operations must he suspended until the cold sea. son, when it is believed the combined forces from Bengal and Madras will advance upon Ummerapoora, the capital of the kingdom of .Ava, distant about 500 miles from Rangoon. Um merapoora may, perhaps, be in our power by Christmas. The protraction of the campaign will be severely felt at home, as the expences attendant on carrying it on exceed in magnitude those of any military operations that have taken place in India, since the attack on Seringapatam, in 1799. " The army now in the kingdom of Ava, under the orders of Brigadier-Generals Sir A. Campbell and Cotton, consist of the Governor-General's Body Guard, one troop of European Horse Artillery, and a European Rocket Troop from Bengal, about 500 European Foot Artillery from Madras and Bengal, under Lieutenant-Colonels Hopkinson and Pollock, his Ma jesty's 13th, 38th, 41st, 45th, 47th, and 89th regiments ; Ist Madras European regiment, and the 3d, 7th, 9th, 12th, 18th, 22d, 26th, 28th, 30th, 34th, 38th, and 43d Madras Native In fantry. Of these the 3d are at Martaban the 7th at Mer gui and Favoy, the 12th at B a ssein on the Irrawaddy, and. the 18th at Panlang. The 9th, 34th, and a provisional bat talion of 1,000 men under Major Ogilvie, remain to garrison Rangoon, and all the other corps are either in advance or going up immediately. His Majesty's 45th regiment and the 30th Madras Native Infantry, march in a few days, as soon as the Commissariat can collect a sufficient number of carts to transport the arrack and provisions. Besides the force already named, Brigadier-Generals Morrison and M`Bean have advanced upon Arracan with his Majesty's 44th and 94th regiments, about 300 European Artillery, the 10th and 16th Regiments of Madras Native Infantry, and five Bengal Native Regiments. This force, after the capture of Arracan, will move upon Prome, and join Sir A. Campbell. Brigadier-General M`Kellar has advanced to Chittagong with about 4,000 men ; and Brigadier-Generals Shuidham, Donlan, and Richards, are penetrating by Sylhet and Rungpoor in the direction of the capital. " I should suppose, if the King of Ava persists in protract ing the war, about 30,000 men will be before his capital in De cember, when all our Divisions concentrate. " You may judge of the expence of carrying on the war by one or two articles. The transport service has had from 70 to 100 ships employed in conveying troops, stores, provisions, &c. from the beginning of March, 1824. The Fort William, the largest transport, is hired at 25,000 rupees per month, so that this month she is entitled to three lacs of rupees. The smallest sized vessels are about 300 tons, and receive about 6,000 rupees per month. The other great article of expence is provisioning the Europeans, the country being a complete desert, and till very lately abandoned by the inhabitants, a few of whom, but in scanty numbers, are now beginning to return. The Commis sariat have been obliged to feed the whole army, cattle, &c. at tached to it, with the provisions they require, by means of sea conveyance. For a long time the troops were fed on salt meat ; but the scurvy broke out amongst them so dreadfully, that the medical officers declared, unless fresh provisions and vegetables, with wine and beer, could be procured, the European part of the army would, in a few months more, be annihilated. In con sequence of this, a contract was entered into at Calcutta to supply the army with beef, which will yield an immense fortune to the contractor. The average slaughter of bullocks is about 20 per day. Hay for the cavalry horses, and grain for them and the draught cattle, as well as rice for the Native army, are also sent by sea: " The Madras Government have made gigantic efforts to bring the war to a close ; and two more Native Regiments, the Ist and 23d, are now under orders for Rangoon, which will be more than one-third of the whole of the Native Infantry on the coast. His Majesty's 59th and 87th Regiments are also coming round from Calcutta. It is the opinion of most experienced men here, that the season is now too far advanced to admit of any thing being done before November next, except taking possession of Prome, on the Irrawaddy, which, from the strength of our army, we can do without much opposition.— The thermometer is now at 98, and April, the hottest month, is still to come, before the rains." [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] Letters w ere yesterday received from Constan tinople to the 11th, and from Smyrna to the 4th of September. The former contain no political intelligence worthy of notice, as it consists in loose rumours or unauthenticated statements, re specting the war in the Morea. The Smyrna let ters are nearly as barren, though that city is much nearer the scene of action. They chiefly dwell on a destructive fire which broke out in the Frank quarter, a few days before, which con sumed 30 houses, anti would probably have com mitted much greater ravages, had it not been ar rested in its progress by the crews of several ships of war at anchor in the Bay. The fire is supposed to be the work of incendiaries, insti gated by hatred of all Europeans, without dis tinction of nation, in consequence of their sup posed partiality to the Greeks. The charge with respect to the people generally may be true : but the Turks betray their usual ignorance, in implicating the Governments in the pretended offence, as these are more careful of their interests than they imagine. Their exasperation, however, is chiefly directed against the English, which is to be lamented, on account of the personal risk to which it will expose a number of respectable individuals; though it cannot be denied, that it is a compli ment to the English character, and a sullen tri bute to English policy. From the silence of these letters, respecting the affairs of Greece, we are inclined to augur well of them ; and therefore hope that intelligence, which reached town yes terday from Genoa, will prove to be unfound ed. In a letter from that city, addressed to an eminent house in London, there is a para graph to the following effect :—" I am sorry to apprize you that Napoli has fallen." \Ye have not seen the letter, containing this most disheartening passage ; but we under stand there is such a document ; and that the re spectability of the individuals, to whom it is ad dressed, is above all suspicion. The fail of that place, the seat of the Greek Government, and one of the last bulwarks of the national inde pendence on the Continent, would be a most severe, if not an irreparable loss; and we are therefore glad to learn that the Greeks in this country treat the statement with the most marked distrust. They say, that they have direct ad. vices from there to the 26th of August, which, so far from holding out any expectation of the kind, contain on the contrary the most encouraging assurances with respect to the security of that important place, and to the state of affairs generally. Besides there are accounts from the Captain of an English vessel (the Nimble), who left Napoli on the 22d of August, which concur in substance with the foregoing. They also speak of great advantages gained by the Greeks over the Egyptians, a few days before the Nimble sailed ; and we only regret that the requisites of time and place are not observed with all the exactness so necessary to credit upon oc casions like this. Another vessel (the Elizabeth) which left Napoli a few days before, reports equally as favourably on the state of affairs ; whilst the inhabitants are represented as free from all alarm—a sentiment in which the report does not fully agree, as it says that a single Eng lish regiment, were it to appear before the place, would take it in 24 hours. However, the Egyptians are not English ; and something for national pride must be allowed in a flourish of this kind. [THE TIMES.] We are confident that the mingled compassion and mortification we have experienced on read ing a late paragraph concerning Mrs. Belzoni, are feelings which every individual member of this humane and enlightened community must suffer in common with us. The distressed lady has long been endeavouring to unite with the means of a decent livelihood for herself, the most pious and affectionat e offices towards the memory of her lamented husband. Mrs. Belzoni has clung to the relics of Egyptian art which were first rescued from the silence of 30 centuries by her lost partner's sagacity, patience, and courage, with a firmness and tenderness which never could have been prompted by the mere consideration that in them consisted the wrecks of a little for tune which was sacrificed to the instruction and gratification of mankind. She kept them in her own faithful hands, as precious memorials of the fame and honour of Belzoni. The caprice of fashion deserted the exhibition of these magnifi cent remains for objects of perhaps not one-thou sandth part of their intrinsic curiosity and value. The receipts from visitors have for some time ceased to defray the expences attendant On the exhibition, and the afflicted widow of the most eminent traveller that modern times have pro duced, is left in a state of destitutiorr—not only painful to reflect upon, but absolutely disgraceful to the civilized world. If Govern ment were to buy at a liberal price the fruits of Belzoni's most able researches, we should say that the public money was not ill bestowed. But the poor man had hard-hearted enemies while he lived, and it is not in the nature of such people to let go the sweet passion of jealousy and ma. lignity when it h as once b een d omest i cate d i n their bosoms. Yet a creature more unassuming, more unoffending, more kindly, or (so far as his humble resources admitted) more liberal, than poor Belzoni, we have reason to know never existed. If, however, the influence predomi nating at the British Museum should be one from which no friendly interference on behalf of Belzoni's reputation, or of his suffering widow, can he looked for, let us at least supplicate for the living and the dead a small con. tribution from the munificence of our gene rous countrymen—that an exemplary woman may be released from the pangs of extreme po verty, and that the original and unrivalled col lections by which Belzoni has enriched this age and country, may not be torn to pieces by the rude talons of the law, to perish with his unfor tunate relict, for want of a little, but well-timed effort of humanity. W e are sure that any re spectable banking-house would be happy to re ceive subscriptions for Mrs. Belzoni's benefit, and we know that there is a kind and constant friend of Belzoni's at one of our Universities who might succeed in assembling a committee of gentlemen to undertake som e plan of permanent benefit, as well for the support of the widow as for the pre servation of the Belzoni Gallery. Why do the Travellers' Club look on while she is suffering ? [MORNING HERALD.] The" war" of the parochial authorities against the apple-women still rages with unabated vigour in many parts of town. The fruit-stal.k, with the green embellishments and " golden fruitage," which rather decorated than deformed the dreary length of Oxford-street, have not only been driven from the more fashionable air of that vicinity, but even the purlieus of Clare-market have un dergone a purgation. The desolating besom of reform was wielded there recently, and cleared those respectable precincts of the " vulgar traffic" of the children of Pomona ! On Saturday this war of extermination was carried to its height —every table or stall that boreagnilty weight of fruit or gin gerbread, and presumed to stand erect in the pre sence of the " Dogberries," was overturned, and groups of the poor creatures to whom theybelonged wer e seen gathering from the mire their stock in trade, which the rude hand of petty tyranny had dashed upon the ground. I n this " land of free dom" there is a class of people whose delicate and moral sensations are not so much offended with any crim e as that of hopeless poverty. We have known some of those persons who would express no small sympathy for the fate of a dashing thief or forger, and would kick an apple-woman out of the street as an intole rable nuisance !—nay, they would promote, with much cant about the inhnmanity of the laws, pe titions for mercy on behalf of culprits, whose ra pacious frauds had bereft the widow and the or phan of their all, and yet deny to ragged house less people the privilege of standing on the bare pavement to make a scanty livelihood in the open air!! Now we would ask the persons who set on and encourage this parish tyranny, whether they would rather see the unfortunate people whom they persecute standing at the bar of the Ohl Bailey, to answer for crimes which want and despair drove them to commit, than making a fair livelihood by selling cakes and nuts, as this humble class of traders have done from time immemorial ? If they wou ld, we mint sa y they .are more dangerous pests to society than the forlorn creature! Oh' whom they trample. That portion of the poor deserve rather to be en couraged than repressed, who prefer an industrious living to the charity of themorkhouse, or the gains of criminal pursuits. So it was thought when the less squeamish and more manly grandfathers of their persecutors went to school, and carried - 'in their satchels more " forbiden fruit" than was ever plucked from the tree of knowledge. We hope the sensible and humane part of the public, who interfere in parish matters, will put an end to the disgusting scenes of oppression, which some " Jacks in Office" are delighted to practise upon those who, like the negro girl in the story, have none to stand up in their defence. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We have more than once observed, that of all the ill-served offices of this country, that of Co roner is, generally speaking, the worst served ; and this being the case, it is certainly by no means surprizing that some of these functionaries should be extremely anxious to keep their proceedings from the public eye. It i 3 almost impossible to read a Coroner's Inquest without being struck by the contrast between the earnestness and shrewd. ness with which the Jury enter into the busi ness of inquiry, and the very opposite qua lities commonly displayed by the Coroner. It would almost seem that one of our beauti ful balances had been purposely introduced in the constitution of these Courts, and that the presiding authority was chosen with a view to a leaden capacity, which might render him a counterpoise to the activity of Jurors—a sort of dead weight to close the door to inquiry. Cer tain it is that we are accustomed to observe a perpetual struggle between the vivacity of Jurors in searching out truth, and the indifference of Co roners—the former are always for bringing light to bear on the matter in hand, and the latter are too often for clapping an extinguisher on it. Juries, it may be objected, are apt to run over the ground too fast, but Coroners, on the other hand, are too prone to check the pursuit al together, instead of endeavouring to give the ex cess of zeal and activity a useful direction. They are, in fact, generally dull men, who love their ease, and are consequently inclined to adopt that solution of every difficulty which gives least trouble; they are further, commonly acquainted with just so much law as serves to perplex them and render them distrustful of their own judg ments, even in the most simple cases. Some there are of a different character no doubt ; in so large a body there must necessarily be intelligent individuals well qualified for their situation, but, generally speaking, the office is ill served, and Judges, who are not prone to find fault with out very sufficient provocation, have frequently of late adverted to the negligent and slovenly manner in which Coroners perform their duties. The publication of proceedings of course throws a disagreeable light on the imperfections of these gentlemen, and they are naturally desirous of every possible degree of privacy. We can, therefore, perfectly understand the feelings which prompted Mr. Farrand, of Oldham notoriety, to observe with a naivete that is quite charming, " I am sure the business of Coroners' Inquests was much better conducted before Newspaper Reporters meddled with them, and when Co roners were left entirely to themselves, that is my firm opinion, and 1 have had a few years' experience as a Coroner. Ever since the second day of the Oldham Inquest, I have made it a rule not to permit any Reporter whatever to be present at an Inquest that I hold." So far as Mr. Farrand is personally concerned, this is undoubtedly an extremely prudent resold tion. l'rivacy becomes him. He may lay down " Crowner's quest law" like the grave digger in Hamlet, and nobody can say nay to it, so long as the doors are closed to the Press. But this rule, so advantageous to the in dividual, is, unfortunately, not equally beneficial to the public ; and we rejoice that the legality of it is about to be tried. In Ilawkins's Pleas of the Crown, we observe that it is held, that " if the Coroner omits to take an inquisition upon an untimely death, it may he done by Justices of Gaol Delivery, Oyer and Terminer, or of the Peace, but it must be done openly ; and if it be done secretly, it may be quashed." (Of the Court of the Coroner, cap. 9.) The obvious inference is, that the In quisition of Justices is bound by the same rules (with the single exception of the view of the body) as the regular Inquest, and that the pub licity which is held by the Law essential to the one is equally essential to the other. MIDDLESEX ADJOURNED SESSIONS. BE/OTC FRANCIS CONST, Esq. The Court met yesterday for the purpose of trying the few cases remaining on the list. CONDUCT OF TWO OF THE BOW-STREET PATROL. Mr. Joseph Such, jun., an auctioneer and brewer, residing at Hounslow, and Timothy Lewis, his gardener, were indicted for assaulting John limmerson and David Johnson, two of the 130 w-street patrol, while in the execution of their duty at Hounslow, on the 27th of July last. Mr. ALLEY briefly stated the case to the Jury, and called the following witnesses : David Johnson, Bow-street patrol, sworn. —On the day named in the indictment, myself and Emmerson were on duty at Isleworth, where we apprehended a person of the name of Levingstone, against whom we had a warrant. (The warrant was produced and handed to the Chairman. It was for a com mon assault.) We brought the man to Hounslow, on the way to Brentford, but it being four o'clock in tile afternoon when we got to the former place, we found we were too late to take him before a Magistrate on that day, and therefore determined on lodging him in the Cage of that place till the following morn ing. The prisoner, on finding our intention, resisted, and a great crowd was in consequence collected, who attempted to rescue him from us. Seeing Mr. Such among the crowd, I called upon him in the King's name to aid and assist, which he refused doing, and I then desired him to get out or the way.— saying this he st ruc k me i n the side with his elbow. In ponmy consequence of the clamour of the crowd, we took the pri g soner on to Brentford, where we saw Mr. George Clark, the clerk to the magistrates, who permitted the prisoner to go at lar g e,f on his promising t o atten d t h e following day. Cross-examined by Mr. BARRY.—Why did you not take the prisoner before a magiAtrate at once, instead of attempting to put him in the cage; you knew it was a bailable offence ? Witness.—Because Mr. Creighton ordered us not to bring any one before him after two o'clock in the day. Mr. BattaY.—Did not the prisoner tell you that l‘lr. Clark bad given orders for his being brought before him, immediately o n the warrant being executed ? Witness. —yes, but we were not hound to believe him. In answer to a further question, the witness admitted that there were a great many respectable tradesmen of the town pre sent when the of took place, and that the defendant, Mr. Such, on his first cnrelbg up, said that it was a d-..d shame to put a reVettabie man in the cage for the night wu his CO Id 0 bail. John Emmerson, the other pat r ol, told a similar stor/hlnl the apprehension of levin gs to ne ; t h e i r attempt to Pt" s i i; de , the cage at Hounslow ; his resisting and clinging t ° 3r a vicosk daring that he had never been in a cage in his life, an, fora not go into one. Witness and his partner endeavourid !yu to make him loose his hold on the post, when Mr. I ' Sue ld b irj sire tO , con up and said the man ought to be allowed bail. we could not take bail, and called on him to assist us, v i t i refused doing, and shortly after struck Johnson in die side , was als struck by the defendant Lewis. n w ho , Cross-examined by Mr. BAR RY. —Are you the speaking of Levingatone, said, " D—n this fellow , we in t ht take him to Brentford, we'll give him a night's lodg in g cae ?—Witness—l am not.

Mr. ALLEY stated this to be his case. toPi e3 Mr. BARRY, for the defence, said there were Mall, connected with the present case upon which he !nig' bur and which would press very heavily upon the prosecutors;adit, as two of their own witnesses had negatived the alleged ° er e ct, and as he had a host of witnesses to depose to the sal e von ad. he would not waste their time by enterin uon them , bt u dist confine himself to the question of the a ss a ult; and u l' w he in' question, if any faith whatever was to be placed en t w ar structions he had received, he must say that the proem: ha d the most impudent and unwarrantable prosecution that ever been brought into a court ofThe Learned Lig justice. scl called the followin g witnesses : perse deep( Mr. Atkins, a tin-plate worker at Hounslow, who aro that he was present when Mr. Such fi rst came ur t ale heard him exclaim against the hardship of placing a resPe e sol, man for the night in a cage, on a mere charge of assault) wa r he was able to find bondsmen.
