111 E LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY 4,rtracts from the Morin'zg Papers, July 2, 1 Sc.?, 5. [MORNING .POST.I In the House of Commons last night, a short time - previons'to the adjournment, Mr. Brougham rose, and said, that he could not allow the Session to close without enquiring when it was under stood the French troops would withdraw entire ly from Spain? -Air. Secretary Canning most so ; tjsfactorily replied," that early in December last a. distinct appliCation was made to the French GOvernmetrt, for a disclosure of their intentions with regard to Spain. It was then stated that • eight or ten thousand men Would he withdrawn in April following, and that the gradual evacua tion of the Spanish territory would follow. Sub sequent events had confirmed the truth of this statemetit. With respect to the remainder of the • French troops he was not prepared to state what would be the exact course as to the time of the order of their going. But this he thought he could safely assure the lion. and Learned Gen tleman, that he (Mr. Brougham) was not more anxious to get the French army fairly out of Spain than was the French GoVernment. If in deed, any pleasure could be derived from such a source, it would certainly be a subject of con gratulation that all the objects anticipated by the French Government in the invasion of Spain had been reversed to them, and all the consequences foretold by us had poured in upon thatmovement. With reference, however, to the question put to him, be could state most confidently, that he felt no degree of apprehension, alarm, or jealousy at the present occupation of Spain by the French troops, and had a thorough conviction that the whole of them would be eventually withdrawn." The House adjourned to Tuesday. On the fol lowing day the Prorogation is expected to take place. [NEW TIMES.] A question was put by Mr. Brougham last night in the House of Commons, respecting the evacua tion of Spain by the French troops, and we refer our readers to the satisfactory reply made by Mr. Canning. Ile assured the House that the French Government was most desirous to with draw all its troops as speedily as possible.— On the motion of Mr. Canning, the House adjourned to Tuesday. A Bill for rendering valid certain Marriages contracted in churches and chapels not previously used for the cele. bration of marriages, went last night •to the third reading. We have not seen the Bill ; but if it do merely what is indicated by its title, it is a simple act of justice to the parties - who may have contracted the marriages in question. While, however, we so far approve of the Bill, we are astonished that a more comprehensive remedy is not adopted for the evil. It is a very remark able fact, that thought marriage be the•source of almost all civil rights, the law of England re specting it is left in a. state of the most disgrace ful inconsistency and imperfection. The simplest and most obvious principles, on which scarcely any two men of common sense could entertain a moment's doubt, are violated ; and proiisiens, of which every one must confess the necessity, are year after year neglected—why, or wherefore, it would be hard to say. The law, for instance, punishes with transportation the solemnization of marriage (except' by special license) in any . other place than a church or public chapel, where in banns may be lawfully published; and yet - there may be chapels, and even :churches, of which it might be difficult to determine whether banns could or could not be lawfully . published in them. Now, it is obvious that no such doubt could pos sibly- exist - for a moment, -if the law positively enjoined the Bishop of every diocese to register every proper church or chapel, and to cause every church or chapel to have inscribed over the ei terior.of its principal entrance, " Registered for the proclamation of banns and solemnization of -marriages." A partial rule of that kind is enact- . •eti by statute 4 Geo. IV. c. 76, with respect to certain chapels, but the rule should clearly be made universal. It is as absurd as it is cruel to mike, the validity of a marriage depehd on a defect not at all obvious in the. place of its cele blittion. [MORNING CHRONICLE.I The ships lately - arrived from India have . brought several intelligent persons, some of • whom have lately been at Rangoon, where '2,000 otit'of the 5,000 Europeans which were uitity disembarked there, have been burie'd,. tio6o were in the hospital, and but one thou-. sitsd remained for duty ; three other regiments have since been sent to share their fate.— The native troops did not die so fast as the EUropeans, but they were in a very sickly state ; one regiment of Madras Sepoys had four hundred men in the hospital.

[MORNING HERALD. j Of the multitude of projects which we were promised, or (as some will rather) with which we were threatened, before the meeting of Par liament, very few have arrived at maturity. Some have yielded up the ghost at sight of their own absurdity ; and others having answered the views of their projectors, by putting a large deposit into their pockets, are gone to the tomb of the Gapulels, the depositors and depositees forming very different kinds of mourners. Among others was a company for supplying the town with Spring Water. This idea we ridiculed at the time it was first broached, as tending to charge the inhabitants of the metropolis for that which they were entitled to have for nothing. Whether ' our arguments, or those of other people have stopped the current, we know not; but it seems to have fallen, like many other minor streams, into that of Lethe, and will probably soon be forgotten except by the patriotic people who ex pected to make a profit of that which should be as cheap and free as air. The idea, however, of supplying the town more liberally with spring water, should not, we think, be suffered to die away with this proposed company. On the con trary, we should be happy to see a regulation made which should compel the builders of new streets, Six. to sink a public well to a certain given number of houses; and a law compelling public vestries (those eternal talkers and little doers) to effect the same in those parts of the town where the supply is inadequate. Nothing can exceed the purity and excellence of the wa ter to be found in all parts of the gravelly soil on which the metropolis stands ; and we know of nothing that would add more to the health and comfort of the inhabitants than a freer sup ply of this first necessary of life. Why are not all hospitak, workhouses, and every kind of public establishment, supplied with pumps ? and why should it be left to the avarice or enterprise of individuals to deal out that as a matter of trade, which should be furnished to the w hole -community gratis. [llll F. T I'M ES.I Mr. Bellew's opinion has drawn forth a letter from Mr. O'Connell, in which, taking for granted, the facts there alleged, we do not mean to say that the latter gentleman has handled the author of the volunteer opinion with more than becoming severity. Mr. O'Connell states that Mr. Bellew is a pensioner during pleasure under the Crown, and that he had obtained successive pensions for having, at sundry crises of Irish politics, done the business of the Government, at the expence, and to the jojury, of the Catholic body. Mr. O'Connell deplores at the same time--what, indeed we had anticipated—that any Catholic of family and fortune should light the torch of discord at a lime when union is of such inestimable value. Now, in our judgment, this circumstance of Mr. Bel lew being a pensioner for political services ren dered to the Crown, carries with it an effectual antidote to the poison of his secession from the people of his own class. Had Mr. Bellew been merely an independent gentleman circulating opinions adverse to the general views and inte rests of his Catholic brethren, it might have been, as we at first considered it, a misfortune to the cause that he withdrew from it his support ; but he is, quoad hoc, no Catholic at all. He is by his pension disfranchised of his attributes, his charac ter,and his weight, asa member of any independent body. He is not a free agent; he must do as the Government pleases—his opinion is of no more use, and his opposition of no more mischief, as to any moral influence derivable from it, than the vote of any wretched . 40s. freeholder polling for his landlord under pain of distress for rent. Sir Edward Bellew, the brother of this personage, is, we have been informed, a strenuous adherent to the aristocracy of which he is a member. So far, therefore, Mr. William Bellew, if his ex ample be not followed, or followed by none but pensioners during pleasure, can work no evil to the common cause.—Mr. O'Connell, discreetly enough, declines to publish the nature of the new association, until after the prologation of Parlia ment. [VIE PUBLIC LEDGER.] It was on the 18th of May that 'Nayarit) ca pitulated ; and it is but justice to say, that the defence was by no means unworthy of the noble cause in which the Greeks are engaged. The garrison appears to have held out till the place was reduced -to a heap of ruins ; and, though some accounts highly compliment the Egyptian Chief on his humanity to the prisoners, it is pro bable that the latter are, in some degree, in debted to themselves for the lenient manner in which they have been treated. We have not seen the Articles of Capitulation, and cannot - therefore- say whether they contain a stipulation for conveying the garrison in neutral vessels to Calamata. We think it, however, very likely that there is an article to this effect, as Ihrahim Pacha, however humane or politic he might be, would scarcely think of making such an arrangement in their favour. It is more likely, if the suggestion were his own, that tie would send them to Alexandria, or to some place wliere they could not join their countrymen in arms ; and if our supposition he correct, no dishonour plainly attaches to the Greeks - in consequenCe of the fall of Navarin, whatever effect it may have in facilitating the views of the enemy. It is true the letters we have seen speak of disunion and even treachery prevailing in their ranks to an alarming degree; but, besides - the injustice of such sweeping Charges, the defence of Navarin conveys a pointed refutation. -On that occasion there appears to have been no want of courage or honour on the part of the Greeks ; and we will even venture to say that if the place was reduced to a heap of ruins, when it was surrendered this circumstance greatly mitigates the loss. When the garrisons of the other forti fied places are apprised of the brave resistance made by the troops at Nayarit], they will be no doubt fired by a desire to emulate their example ; and another siege like this, which lasted nearly two months, would put the patience of the invaders bo a hard trial. But it is not in their walled towns, that the people of the Morea place their sole or even their chief reliance, as the country abounds in po,itions, strong by nature, and which with a little art might be rendered almost impregnable. Moreover it is too poor to support a hostile force long ; and to procure supplies by sea is so expen sive and precarious, that if the Greeks display only common fortitude, they will probably tri umph over the present danf,er. We know from experience how little anticipations of their ap proaching ruin are to be relied on ; and predic tions like those, in which the success of Ibrahim Pacha's arms is foretold, marked every former stage of this long and sanguinary contest. We wish to put this important question in its true point of view ; and as we have exposed the ex aggerated statements, which had been published in favour of the G reeks, we hope to have shewn that their situation is any thing but desperate. EBRITISII PRESS.] In consequence of an interview which some of the principal merchants in the Russian wool trade had with Mr., lluskisson, the projected alteration in the mode of levying the duty on deals has been abandoned for the present. — It would be well, however, for the parties in• terested in this trade not to reckon too confi dently on the continuance• of the present system ; for so long as the anomaly remains of charging timber imported in the log less duty than the same while imported as deals (and consequently in a manufactured state), continual representa tions will, year after year, be made on the sub ject to the Board of Trade ; with what effect time only can decide. We have frequently adverted to the merits of the Society for promoting the enlargement and building of Churches and Chapels, and we have considered it our duty to call the attention of the friends of Christianity and the Church to the very depressed state of its finances. The sub scriptions to the funds of this Society still amount to a very inconsiderable sum, when it is considered that the nature of the work in which it is engaged requires very great pecuniary sup plies ; and it is unhappily too evident, that with out additional and prompt support from the public, the Society must stop short in the full career of its usefulness, and leave undone that which every one who is attached to the cause of true religion in the Church of England must be compelled to, acknowledge to be one of the most desirable objects of benevolence in which he could engage.—With a full desire to see so useful an Institution flourish, we cannot forbear from taking every opportunity of calling the attention of the Public to its demand for sup port. We notice the result of a very valuable de scription of exertions, viz. among the Clergy, at the annual visitation of the Archdeacon of Dur ham. It reflects much credit, both upon the Archdeacon and those . Gentlemen who have sub scribed, and we would recommend such a course to be pursued generally, with this addition, that the Clergy should excite their more wealthy pa rishioners to contribute ; for it is well known that the personal calls upon the Clergy for sub scriptions are already too numerous for their very slender means, especially among the Parochial Clergy.—(lbid.)

Many' years a teiwards, while the horse was at a pump, with a large barrel upon the sledge, and had got it filled with wa ter, the trumpeter of a troop of cavalry, which were that morning to leave the town, blew for the muster ; the lOng forgotten sound scarcely caught the animal's ear, than as if awakening his former glory, the horse set off full speed, with the sledge and barrel, to where the cavalry were drawn up, driving them all into confusion, and calmly took his accus tomed situation at the head ,of the line. The Commander, surprised at its grotesque .appearance, .on being informed of the hors6's past services, stroked its head, while it seemed con scious of the tlistincticin, When they marched, it reared and plunged most furiously, and all the exertions of the .brevier were necessary to prevent it, with the heavy incurnbrance,Treirn quitting its drudgery, and marching off along with them.

Mr. JONES, in opening the pleadings, stated that this was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a statuary and stone mason in Piccadilly, to recover from the defendant, who is a publisher and bookseller in the Royal Colonnade, Pall-mall, compensation in damages for injury sustained by. him in con sequence of the defendant having published a--false and mali cious libel upon the character of the plaintiff in a work enti tled The Memoirs of Harriette Wilson. The defendant plead( a the general issue.
