1'111: LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY• Extractyrom the Morning Puj;ers, June 29, 1825 [TI!E TlMEa.] The Parliamentary Report In this day's paper contains a variety of interesting and important topics-, to which at present we must be content with a bare reference. The Deccan prize-money question—the conduct of the Spanish Govern ment with respect to the claims of British mer chants—and the case of Mr. Kenrick—all re quire particular attention. But, pressed as we are for room, we must even now observe, that we do iint see how Mr. Kenrick, although the House has come to no decision against him on one of the extraordinary charges brought before it, can, with any advantage to the administration of justice, execute the duties of the judicial of fice, while another and more serious charge is pending against.hirn on the public records of Par liament. Surely Mr. Peel or Mr. Wynn will give him some friendly hint, which may spare him a second mortification on the Welch circuit. His brother Justice (Mr. Maine) ought also to be spared the repetition of the unpleasant cir cumstance which occurred on the last occasion at Beaumaris and Carnarvon. [NEW TIM Es.] As the Session draws rapidly to a close, the business of Parliament presses for a termination. Natters of great consequence therefore seem to pass with little of the interest that they might naturally be expected to create. The Work men's Combination Bill is perhaps the most in teresting, as it is in truth one of the most import. ant measures brought before the Legislature for several years. ft abolishes all former enactments, and it adopts a principle which is founded on the most entire justice between the workui r an and his employer. It has been unjustly supposed that the measure was levelled against the workmen alone ; whereas, in point of fact, it provides equally against combinations of masters and workmen, and is regulated by the most impartial spirit of equity between them both. Combination is at least as much an evil to the workmen as it is to their employers. It proceeds on a false prin ciple, inasmuch as it seems that the fund out of which labour is to be paid is under the controul of the manufacturer, whereas it comes from the consumer, and depends upon the demand. Suppose a manufacturer has a de mend for 1000 ton of goods, at the price of 100/. per ten, and that the raw material costs him 301. per ton, he may give 601. per ton in wages and other expences, and yet leave himself a profit of 101. per ton ; but let the price fall to 80/. per • ton, he must either lose 10,000/. or he must re duce the wages of his workmen. Now, if they resist that reduction, what do they do but cons tend against absolute necessity ? They expect their employer to pay them when there is no fund out of which they are to be paid. In this state of things he is compelled to resort to a cheaper sup ply of labour ; but his former workmen combine to insult, assault, and perhaps murder, the men who are willing to work•at a cheaper rate. Should not the law interfere in such a case as this ? We do not say that the law should dictate the price of labour. Quite the contrary. It should allow every workman to demand what he thinks fit for his work ; but then it should not allow • any one workman to controul any other. I.et . us take a case mentioned in the Report of the Committee on the COmbination Laws. Two car penters, named Hendrick and Chambers, thought tit to work for Messrs. IVl'Mahon, in Dublin, under the rate of wages regulated by the - bOdy of carpenters. Had they not aright so to do Was not their labour their nwn ? Who was en- Jitled to interfere in any manlier whatever be tween them find their etriployers ? They were, however, separately attacked, ettai by a large party of workmen -armed with bludgeons; who beat them' is>everelj ; and Chambers had his skull. fractured, aitildied. - .rif his wounds. Will • it be said that there should be no law to reach, or if possible to prevent, Mich outrages as these? . The facts developed by - JOU Kean at Glasgow were still mere atrocious. These men were for mally liked, sworn, and paid, to commit assassi. • nation ! It is said these crimes have been few in number. The fact is hot so ; they have been numerous. But if they should hereafter be rare, :what then? Why, the law made to meet such cases will he rarely called into action. Of such a law it may he emphatically said, ""it is a terror to evil doers, •butnot to them that do well."— Workmen who 'are willing to Contract fairly with their. employers need not entertain any ap prehension of the proposed law. On the con trary, it will protect them against iiolenCe and outrage, from other workmen whO are not dis posed to act fairly. Combination, either among masters or workmen, is unjust, and nothing is necessary to defeat it but competition. if in any trade there were fifty orb bundred masters, who combined to give only half the wages which the . trade could well affbrd, what would be the con . sequence New mrist - lr§ weuhl sta rt up, who would pay higher wageS; end yet be Able to no.: dersell the combiners io•the market. it is most naiiiifest that a' free anil-uncontfiltiled- contract ~.between masters and workmen, is for the 'real benefit -of both. To secure that frgedbovis th 4 sole object, of the present Bill ; and the Mini: Sters..who bring it in are thei.ekti4 entitled to the warmest gratitude both of the iiorkinen and 'of bi§'erriptoyer: EBRITISH PRESS." In the House of Lords last -ni-ght the Bill for abolishing Frivolous Writs of Error was re ad a second time. The Lord Chancellor was appre ' • lrensiye that greater e►il than benefit would re.; -. suit from the change, as litigious defendants 4. ..w0u1d, he thought, be induced to plead the ge • !writ! issue, and consequently there would be ati increase of delay and expellee, instead of the expected diminution. We perfectly agree, however, with Mr. Peel, that the appreltentiod of new evils ought not to deter us froth thig ant eti.d to those which we know actually to exist. if =ham pleas should hereafter be rr , sort , ed to, for the purpose of defeating the ends of justice, Parliament can again interfere. The Bubble Act Amendment Bill was also read a second time. The Earl of Lauderdale, who has been anxious to signalize himself this Session by his opposition to almost every kind of commercial undertaking, shortly expressed his disapproba tion of the Bill, on the ground that " it encou raged monopolies, which were destructive of individual enterprise." Now, this we take leave to say is entirely a mistaken view of the subject. The Bubble Act is an absurd and unintelligible statute. Its repeal can have no tendency to" en courage monopolies." It will only leave com merce free to the exertions of all parties who may choose, individually or collectively, to ap ply themselves to any pursuit which may in their opinion hold out a reasonable prospect of advan-; tage. If it were proposed to restrict any branch of trade to any particular joint-stock company, a monopoly dangerous in consequence and odious in principle would be created ; but no such tle sign is entertained. Fraudulent schemes may still be punished by the common law, and that is quite sufficient to meet all the cases of that character which can arise. [MORNING HER.% T.D.I The New World seems destined to produce in the short space of half a century, two individual examples of disinterested ambition, political vir tue, and patriotism, for which there is scarcely a precedent in the history of the Old. If Boli var's be riot a mask—and this can hardly be, or his real features would have revealed them. selves through it in so many years and occasions, and if he seals the independence of his country with its freedom also, his merit will be regarded as more shining than Washington's. That Wiishing ton was incorrupt there can be no doubt ; but it is very doubtful indeed, considering his per sonal avarice, whether he would in the situations of Bolivar put away the twice offered million of dollars, as a recompence of public services, from the Congress of Peru. His political moderation also was not so temptingly tried—always sup posing that Bolivar does not fall from his emi nence. Washington was not without vigilant and jealous competitors and equals. He had to deal %%ith a community, which inherited the love of freedom—his power was never without limita tion. Bolivar commands without rival, and has to do with a vast population, which an ambitious usurper could easily cheat into slavery under a show of lilaerty. It is true that in Peru he is in vested with a Dictatorship. This, however, is obviously the re sult, not of personal ambi tion, but of the public coufidence, and the exigencies of the country in whose service he is engaged, and the stability of his authority at home, during his absence, shows that there he is above both rivalry and distrust.— Washington and Bolivar, if inferior in genius to Cromwell and Buonaparte, give to America, over Europe, the better palm of virtue and modera tion. The personal character of Bolivar is now more interesting than ever. There is no longer a possibility of America being other than inde pendent, and the only hazard is whether she shall be free. The same United States papers which announce his successes and honours in Peru, men- Lion a story of the occupation of Cuba and Porto- Rico by the French, on the same terms as their occupation of Cadiz. But most likely it is but a story. If there be wisdom in the prophecies of the A bbe de Pradt, Cuba must soon become, not the prey of any foreign power, but an integral member of the independent Federation of America. [MORNING CIIRONICLE.I The Money Market opened heavily yesterday morning. Consols for Account 91+ ; they imme diately fell to 91i, and closed at 91 82. The re. ports circulated during the fluctuations in the Funds were the occupation of the Spanish West India Islands by the combined forces Of France and Spain ; " bad news from India ;" " alarming intelligence from Ireland ;" %Jiff' others equally true and surprising. In the Foreign there were also considerable alterations ; Colombian Bonds, which on Monday were 881, were yesterday 87+; Mexican Scrip, on Monday, If dis., yesterday, 22 dis.; Spanish Bonds fluctuated violently, open ing at ‘2 . (21.. falling to 21i, and fluctuating about 21i and 22.-1 n the Share Market there was little business done yesterday, and no variation in the prices worth noticing. r: F. PUBLIC LEDGER.] Yesterday there was an arrival of Rio Janeiro Papers to the 16th tilt. Their contents, how. ever, are wholly uninteresting, from which it may be safely inferred that every thiug was pro- L ceeding quietly, and even prosperously. There are fiery spirits enough in Brazil, who Nt ould make the Government soon feel the couse ; quences of any indiscretion, much more of a systematic misconduct. When that country, therefore, presents a tranquil aspect, it is a proof that the character of the public admi nistration gives general satisfaction. These Pa pers speak, however, of disturbances, Occasion ed by the prejudice . which the Briiilians feel towards the natives of Portugal who are settled and naturalized amongst them. But it was extinguished as soon as it was ascertained that tioops were marching towards the place where they had broken out. It will be seen, from a paragraph in another part of our paper, that the Admiral of Brazil, our gallant coun tryman, Lord Cochrane, has arrived at Ports mouth. The object of his visit is, riot of a political character ; and it does not appear to have been contemplated by himself, till he was driven by stress of weather as far as the Azores. Being then so near a country, which must ()col- OY the first place in his affections, not withstand. ing the harsh treatment he had latterly received there, li e could not, it would appear, resist the wish of seeing it again ; and the damage his vessel had sustained, furnished him with a plausible pretext for gratifying it. During his absence, he has upheld the high professional reputation he had acquired in our service and what is more, he materially promoted British interests, by his powerful interests to con solidate the independence of the New Wodd. We have therefore no doubt but his reception will be commensurate with his profclsional tele, brity ; and we wish ournaval heroes were ffought of a little more, in the distribution of Govern• ment honours. We should have no objection to see a naval review now and then, as well as a military one ; for it would be bad taste, as well as bad policy, to neglect the " wooden walls of old England," and throw our gallant Tars into the back ground. [MORNING POST.] In the House of Peers last night the Bill for abolishing Writs of Error was read a second time, on the motion of the Earl of Liverpool, who declared that " such a system of sham proceed ings was a fraud on the law and a disgrace to the country." The Lord Chancellor was of a diffe rent opinion ; and, though he abstained from op posing the measure, he expressed his conviction " that it was likely to produce a much greater evil than that which it was intended to remove." The Bill for repealing the Gth Geo. I. commonly called the Bubble Act, was also read a second time, on the motion of the Earl of Liverpool, who stated that its object was not merely to abolish the Bubble Act, which had been a dead letter since the time of its passing, but to enable the Crown to grant qualified Charters, i►►stead of the unli mited Charters, which alone, it had hitherto been imagined, it was legally in his power to grant. The Noble Earl also thought that there was no danger whatever to be apprehended from Joint Stock Companies if they were left to them selves, and no Parliamentary favours were bestow edupon them; but the best mode in which they could exist was by Charter from the Crown. The Lord Chancellor recommended the addition of a clause or of a few words to the Bill, to declare that al though the act of George I. was repealed, the Common Law of the Land which prohibited the very same things as that Act, continued in full force and operation. In the Commons the holiness of Mr. Kenrick was again made the subject of dis cussion. But that Gentleman having sent a Pe tition praying for a postponement of the case of Franks, on the ground of his not having had. time to consult with Counsel or to prepare evidence, the examination was put off till the next Session, and the House decided that there was no occasion for the adoption of any measure with respect to the first case.—The Bill for re gulating the law of Merchant and Factor was read a third time and passed.-0 wing to the un expected business which has come before the House of Commons, its adjournment for a few days will not take place till to-morrow. Wed nesday next is the day now fixed for the Pro rogation. Letter•, we are extremely sorry to say, have been received, announcing the untimely death of the son of Dr. RyDE a, Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, by the upsetting of a boat in the Mediterranean. There were six men with Mr. Ryder in the boat at the time the sad accident happened, the whole of whom were drowned. A Berlin Journal of the 13th instant says—We have good authority for stating, that the necessary arrang meats towards the establishment of a National Bank are agreed upon, a considerable modification of the original plan will be adopted. 'there was another very serious conflagration at Bourdeaux on the 12th inst., which destroyed the extensive Sugar-refinery of M. hafitte. and all his stock, which was con siderable, two adjoining houses also received a great deal of damage. __ ACcording to Commercial Letters from St. Petersburgh, under date of the 4th instant, permission had been granted• to the merchants to import foreign merchandize into Bessarabia, by the port of Kerlish, on the Danube. The Captain of a Liverpool vessel, in a letter dated New Orleans, 27th April, says, that he took out sir game coda, and cleared by the sate of them 400 per cent. One of 'them, which he judiciously named La Fayette, sold for eigh teen dollars ! A Bill, enabling the Marquis of QUEEN BERRY to dispose of certain portions of his estate, has received the sanction of Parliament. wo large steam vessels, intended to ply be tween Liverpool and Carlisle, are now building at Holyhead, in the new vard of 'Messrs. Grayson, Hewson, and Co., late of Livarpooi. . _ _ A:fine vein of iron-stone has recently been discovered in the Beam Woods adjoining the city of Canter bury ; some of it is beautifully impregnated with quartz crys tals. In the opinion of practical men it might be smelted with advantage. _ _ The crops around Edinburgh, by the, concur rent testimony of Agriculturists, were never at this season of the year more luxuriant and promising; the wheats are gene. rally bursting the ear. One field in the neighbourhood of Musselhurgh is in bloom. Numbers of bee-hives have thrown oft' swarms within the last eight days. At Tyrningl'am, in East Lothian, should the weather continue favourable, the cut ting of barley will commence next month. SAINT SWITHIN.—This Saint succeeded to the Bishoprick of Winchester, upon the demise of Helmstan, in 852, and held it till his death in 868. According to his own desire, he was buried in the church-yard, instead of in the chancel of the Illinster. But upon his being canonized, the monks prepared to remove his body into the choir, in solemn procession_, on the 15th o f J uly. It rained, however, so vio lently both on this day an d on the forty following days,' that the design was abandoned as blasphemous: This circumstance is thought to be the origin of the old notion, that if it rains on St. Swithin's Day, it will rain during the forty following days. 'SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.-OD Friday week, as a young Gentleman was walking in Mr. LONGSTER's gar den, Mahon, on the bank of the Dement, he saw a fine pike suddenly dart out of the river, and seized a swallow that was gliding along the surf ace o f the water.--( York Paper. ) HIGH WAY ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT TO Mutt. DER.—Last Thursday night, between nine and ten o'clock, i most daring robbery was committed on the high road, about two miles from Kelso, on the person of a Mr. Mooft, a re spectable cattle-dealer, belonging to the neighbourhood of Mar petlhin NOrthumiberland. The.: - unfortunate Gentleman was severely wounded by a pistol shot in the breast; hut as it had not penetrated the chest, the wound was not considered as abso lutely dangerous; he had also received a cut on the head, and was a good deal bruised. He had in his possession about 2,0001. in bank notes, 7001. of which was in Bank of England paper, and about 1,3001. in Newcastle bank notes, of the whole of which he was robbed by two men. It is unfortunate that Mr. Moor is unable to give any particular description of ,the robbers ;—one of them he took to be an Irishman._ and they were both dressed in brownish coloured clothes. As soon as the intelligence reached Kelso, a strong posse& constables were sent out in pursuit of the delinquents; and the Procurator.. Fiscal for Rozburghshire transmitted an immediate account to the authorities at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, to apprize the bankers there, in the event of any suspicious persons offering their cash notes. On the Bth instant, an Elephant having got loose, happened to enter the house of Rajah 13ahadur, at Sety, and pulled down a hut, where a person having drank bhung had fallen into a sound sleep; but he got up on hearing the noise of this occurrence, and endeavoured to drive the elephant out with a large rod ; at first the elephant went to It little dis tance from the hut, when the driver laid down again on his bed. Shortly af ter , the elephant having attempted to take its revenge, cau g h t th e p oor man w i t h hi s trun k , an d t hrowing him on th e groun d, kill e d hi m b y press i ng his belly with the foot, to th e great a l arm o f t h e persons present, who did not fail to th row b r i c k s an d p i eces o f wood towards the animal, and drove it t o t h e gar d en o f D ewan O manundun T a k oor , where a brick h urt one o f t h e Gargonns, who forbad them to t hrow the bricks so carelessly as to injure people ; upon which the drivers, having left the elephant, attacked the gardeners, conse quence of which several persons on both sides were wounded. The Thanadar having stopped them, reported them to the "Ilgistrate. The elephant (we have heard) has destroyed a great number of buts at that plase.—(S""'" A3r 1:11".17"' . - • .

Lord LYNEDOCH Wished to call their I.oidshiPs' attention to a subject which appeared to him of much importance. He had been at Windsor, and had observed the improVements going on there, and was sorry to find that their progress was impeded by many nuisances which could only be removed by an Act of Parliament. He had taken the liberty of mentioning the sub ject to some of the Members of his Majesty's Government, whom he might, notwithstanding his differences with them on political matters, still call his friends but he aPas informed that no bill could be introduced, as such a measure Would be very unpopular. Perhaps no public improvement of the kind to which he alluded could be carried on to completion without trenching in,sorno measure on private property. Their Loid ships would, however, consider whether it would not be proper in this case to pass an Act of Parliament fur facilitating the i.n provements at Windsor. These improvements could not be completed without passing over grounds and reintiving cottages, and the object was only to be completed by an Act of Parlia ment, which should compel the parties to give way on sufficient compensation being made to them for their loss of property. The compensation in such a case, he thought, ought always to be liberal. Every man who was a friend to constitutional monarchy must wish to see the Sovereign enjoying every de gree of accommodation and comfort, and surrounded with that dignity which became his situation. lie thought it his duty to throw out these observations, but should make no motion. lie could not have satisfied his feelings had he not mentioned the subject. • Mr. SPRING RICE brought a message from the Commons requesting a copy of the farther evidence taken before their Lordships' Committee on the State of Ireland. The LORD CHANCELLOR replied that the House would send an answer by a messenger of its own. - Mr. BROGDEN and others brought up the Newspaper Act Amendment Bill, the Smuggling Prevention Bill, the Customs' Consolidation Bill, the Glebe Lands' Exchange Bill, and several private Bills. On the motion of the Marquis of LA NW° wN, a message was ordered to the Commons for a copy of the Report of the Com mittee appointed to inquire into the state of the law respecting the Combination of Workmen. WRITS OF ERROR BILL. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that this Bill was one of those which was connected with reforms in the courts of justice. He then recapitulated the provisions of the Bill, which have i been already fully stated in tke Reports of the debates in the House of Commons, and concluded by moving that it be now read a second time. The LORD CHANCELLOR would not oppose this Bill, though he had objections to it. He expressed his conviction that, upon the whole, the abolition of Writs of Error would produce more evil th an any w hi c h the Bill could cure. The Noble and Learned Lord observed, that as the law now stood, it was true that on judgment being allowed to pass in default, and a Writ of Error obtained, a creditor might be kept eight or ten months out of money, but then, if justly due, he would at last recover it with int erest. Af ter the passing of this Bill, however, he would be in a worse situation. The delay would be longer, and the recovery much more expensive. The opiniot.s he held on this subject were the same which had been expressed by the greatest law authorities for the last 20 years. Lord ELLENBOROUCH objected to the clause relative to compensation, and gave notice, that when the Bill was com mitted, he would propose an amendment. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted to-morrow. BUBBLE ACT BILL The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the second reading of the Bill for amending the 6th of George - 1., commonly called the Babble Act. The Earl of LAUDERDALE opposed the motion. The Act of George I. had been passed to correct a great public grievance, which would be encouraged by the alteration pro posed to be made in the law. The compan!es now forming, and which the repeal of the bubble act would sanctidn, were all monopolies, and their effect would be to drive the fair trader out of the market. When the existence of the East India Company and other established monopolies was objected to , why create new ones ? The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that the present bill went no farther than to repeal a statute which had never been acted upon, and which had always been regarded as a dead letter. No conviction had ever taken place under this statute, though a century had elapsed since it was pasted. He could see none of that danger in joint stock companies which the Noble Lord anticipated from them. There surely was no fear of those companies doing any harm, as long as all the partners were bound, not only to the amount of the sum they might subscribe for their shares, but to the whole extent of their private fortunes. Though the act of the 6th of George I• was repealed, the common law would remain unaltered. ' The allusion. made by the Noble Lord to the East India Com' pany was not in point. The objection with regard to that COll - was, that it was' said to be a monopoly against Of public ; but he was surprised that the Noble Lord did I .o ' see that those companies, if they were to be monopolies at e rt must be so in favo ur o f t h e pu bli c. As for private traders b '''. driven out of the market, that lie did riot think probable j i for it was well known that large companies always conducr, their concerns in a much less prudent manner, and with t, less attention to th e i r I nterests th , than individuals. TIOO.I could therefore b e no h arm in repealing this ob s ol e t e a et .o, Parliaent, while it s ex i stence on l y ten d ed to create confus i 9 in consequen ce o f i n di v i duals not knowing what' they, mig",,i according to law, d o or not d o. W ith regard to inco rporated ' companies, experience hid shown that the best mode of ford o 'rig them was by a Ch arter f rom the Crown. They might-,' incorporated by Act of Parliament, but .if their Lordships,el, o sidered the difference in the nature of the proceedings in to." ho ' two modes, lie was sure they would agree with bin, 014%, less Parliament interfered in thit subject the better. Jus l " b e between individuals was more efficiently secured whertAt. Charter was granted by the Crown, and it %Vas therefore thol t f . advisable to discourage applications for acts of Parliament , : to t to encourage the other course. But hitherto a qualified ell —e could not be given, however desirable it might be to iniP ie s. certain limitations on the powers of incorporated cornP an t Ote Their Lordships must see how important - it was that thl.l,s i o f of things should be altered. It was therefore an obJe c ...ittr the present Bill to authorize the granting of Charters " restrictions. thrf e present LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that the princiPl°t, fa Bill was to repeal the Act of 6 George 1.;, an e, leave the parties to whom it was intended to apply to the t . t be ration of the common law. It did not destroy the power °,„ ilit; Crown to grant any Charters, but it enlarged that power to of granting of qualified Charters. As it repealed the ststt n .'d itt George 1., and as that statute was supposed only to sm_ j , At' the way of associations such at the public had lately sfmar tempted, he thought it better that a clause should be itn' t ite ed into the Bill declaring that the common law remain - 00 altered and untouch e d.
