E LONDON .10-URNA LS. DA MY rtracte from the Morning Papers,Nov.l 9, 1 825 [MORNING. POST. French Papers to the 17th instant, and the Etoile of Thursday reached us last night by ExpresS. - The latter undertakes to check the alatin created by the rapid decline of the Funds, and for that purpose contends that it has had no effect: on national industry and commerce, which are represented as . M.the most fiouyishing condi tion. Without denying this fact,'Which.we be lieve to be correctly .stated, we do not see that it, affords sufficient grounds of assurance to dispel alarm entirely. The, national industry and com merce of France must he brittle indeed;if the vacillations of a day or two in the money market could affect, them sensibly.. Rut, let thoie va cillations only continue a fortnight or three weeks, and we doubt much ..whether the Etode could honestly renew the same boast. As to the internal improvements . which have taken place in France since the Peace, they'are great,aod manifest. No country ever rose with so much elasticity from the extreme weakness to wl4ich foreign conquest and occupation had re duced her, to the fulness of strength and the summit of prosperity, as France. has done in the course of the last ten years. Had her constitu tional liberties kept pace with her finances and industry, she would be now the strongest is well as the happiest State on the Continent. it , appears by some of the following that though the attempt to induce her to enter into immediate commercial arrangements with this country has failed - , she is disposed to relax the severity of her prohibitory laws with respect 'to Sweden, who does not however. possess the same claims to 'favour and gratitude. [Me tS.] • The Eloile, a newspaper supposed to be very closely connected with the French Government, has had, within this last week,. two articles on commercial and financial topics, which, how little soever worthy of notice in themselves, may bear a remark for the sake of their professed objects, and of their presumed authors. In one of these articles, the Etoile descants upon " . the crisis which-is taking place at the-Exchange ;" in other words, the fall of the French rentes to a decree for which the Finance Minister has probably not-been • qutte-prepared ; and by which, from the schemes he has depending, .his Excellency may feel somewhat embarrassed. The Etoile is at pains to assure its readers, that the fall of the funds dneS not affect in any way" either the " ma " ritirne or internal commerce of the country, or " its agricultural. and manufacturing indus try." There is undoubtedly no reason in the nature of things why the state of the funds, in France at least, should much affect the general condition of commerce. In all countries a rise or fall of the funds, where it. has any direct. relation to the prosperous or adverse state of the public industry, is at the outset rather an effect than a cause of some change either felt or apprehended in the latter : although first a consequence, it often, however, by re-action, becomes a cause, and affects reci procally•the sources of his own existence. When fluctuations in the funds have been the result of mere manoeuvring by stockbroking or political speculators, it is obviously absurd to make thern th 6 subject of general reasonings about the national affairs. In France, it seems possible that a severe fall in the :funds, even when it is not produced directly by artifice, or indirectly by a preceding artificial, and therefore temporary rise, may have little effect upon commercial or thanufacturing industry, compared with the re sults. of a corresponding fall in a country more, commercial than France, and, like England, both mote abundant in public debt, and more -sup ported in her energies by individual credit. Even, therefore, had time French funds experiened a fall of a more doubtful origin.and - character than' the present appears to have been, the Etoile might have argued correctly in stating that no infe rence was to be drawn from such a change un faiourable to the national prosperity. Still more reasonable may be the conjecture that the Eloile speaks truth, when there appears to be ground for suspecting that the fall of the Rentes is just so far natural, as the preceding rise for two or three months past had been in a great measure forced. • The efforts of Government to raise •the French funds were indefatigable—in some cases, &report speaks truth, they were cruel as well as indefatigable-- with a view to the success of M. Villele's financial projects. It may be presumed, moreover, that those capitalists who were to hive a - share_ in the operation, and a taste of the profits, were not behind in support ing. the endeavours of the French Govern ment to raise the three per cents. But every thing has its limit—every man conversant with money knows that the principle of supply and demand must affect the funds like all other ioMmodities—each rise in the funds has a ten dency to check any further rise, acting as a tax upon stock, rendering the article dearer, and diminishing the number of buyers. The French Rentes had got up to an unprecedented height— while other modes of investing capital produced little . less than six per cent. So far, therefore, from inferring that French com merce was on the decline, or was likely to be injured by extensive sales of stock, the fair deduction would be, that the sales took place because commerce found a more beneficial field for their proceeds, and that industry in re , turn would be invigorated by the application of, those proceeds to its enterprises. This was on the supposition that any general cause or con sequence, good or bad, could be connected with the crisis taking place at the Exchange," which in the absence of all political incident it were, perhaps, too much to imagine. But there is a purpose to be gathered from these assurances of the French official newspaper. It_ does what it can to satisfy mankind that nothing is wrong with credit, public or private, beyond the mere reduc tionin the price of Rentes; and then, with little dexteritir in our opinion, exclaims against the Bank of France for not better supporting Pnblic credit, by a more -liberal issue , of its paper. The Etoile is angry with the • Bank for calling in its 40 millions, advanced upon the credit of the last loan. It expostulates with that wise and flou rishing corporation on " the narrow and -unneces " sary" prudence which it has exhibited. In short, the Etoile seems hugely desirous that the price of Rentes, which it labours so hard to prove, has caused no mischief whatever by falling, should be raised again by the Bank to that unnatural level, at which the Minister is no longer able to sustain them.—The Etoile, in another article upon a measure of the Dutch East India Government, who Lind that English commerce can be no otherwise emulated but by the adoption of those liberal principles which have been recently introduced into its general re 01ations, pronounces a panegyric upon commer cial liberality, wholly at variance with the spirit of that worn-out system in which France thinks fit piactically to persevere. The French jour nal, indeed, admits unequivocally, that Eng land by the adoption of her free commercial policy, will force every . other country in the world to act upon it, .or to sink into the condi ' .lion of the miserable Spanish Monarchy. If this be M. de Villele's - private sentiment, it is un fortunate for France that he is so much more advanced than his nation. [THE PUBLIC Lune,Eud We have received the Paris Papers of 'Wed nesday, with The .Etoile of Thursday. From the last quotations of the Rentes, a reaction ap pears to have have commenced ; and this move ment is likely to continue, if any credit be due to a statement is The Etoile, which has every appearance of having issued from the bureau of the Finance Minister. According to this autho rity, the depression that has taken place may be ascribed to two leading causes—large sales for the purpose of employing the produce in the purchase of wines of this year's vintage, which are said to be excellent; and, secondly, the conduct of the Bank of France, which is cha racterised as narrow and unnecessarily cau tious. By the former operation, sales to the amount of seventy or eighty millions of francs, have been effected within a very short period ; but the influence of this and other causes is said to have nearly sp e nt its e lf ; and, if this be true, a reaction almost as sudden as the de pression, may be expected. In the meantime, every other public interest is said to thrive be yond any former example, which alone would serve to account for the exception which the Rentes present. For instance, it is vauntingly affirmed, that maritime and internal comrnerce,as well as agricultural and manufacturing industry, " are in the road of sensible improvement." This description would apply to Etgland as well as td France ; and the prosperous state of agriculture, commerce, and manufactures, in both countries, would partially at least account for the gloom which hangs over the two markets at this mo ment : political causes have no doubt mixed with those just stated ; but, as they are the offspring of the very panic which they have contri buted to augment, they will, in all pro bability, soon lose their influence. With the exception of Spain, the nations of Europe,"col lectively and individually, never furnished such grounds of confidence in the continuance of tran quillity, as they do now. It may in truth be said, that a mighty, though silent, change, has been for some time operating in the sentiments of her different cabinets; and instead of seek ing grandeur as formerly in the field of battle, they now find that it is more readily to be found in the province of peaceable indus try. There is not a single government, too, at this time, that is subject to the old ruling passion of blood-stained acquisition, for they have all found out that the road to wealth is also the road to political supremacy. Even France has become a convert to this great and simple truth ; and, with her conversion, her military mania has all but disappeared. Her people. are now as intent on cultivating their fine soil, and exploring new channels of trade, as they were, ten years since, eager in the pursuit of the bubble called martial glory. This reaction of feeling has been attended also with such beneficial results, that there is but little fear, unless her rulers become downright mad, of its discontinuing ; and, under all these circum stances, we are not very sanguine in looking upon the present peaceable aspect of Europe as wearing a most settled character. [BRITISH PRESS.] We havf received the Paris - Papers of Wed nesday. The Ministerial Journals boast, and we hope and believe that they boast justly, of the progress made by France in internal improve ments and general prosperity since the peace. It is the interest of every nation, and especially of Great Britain, as the wealthiest and most com mercial of nations, that. the whole world, and every part of it, in particular, should thrive and flourish. The richer all other people may be, ' the more they will contribute to the growth of our capital. We read, therefore, without repin ing, the declaration, that " industry has for se veral years in France been receiving an ex tension which becomes daily more ant more important. Roads are opened in all parts of the kingdom ; canals are dug, bridges built, manufactories erected, mines of coal and metals are opened ; and France is covered with more commodious and more elegant dwellings ; the number of which built annually for five and six years is tenfold that of any period for more than a century before." It is by results such as these that the blessings of peace become palpable to all countries, and that in these days the longer it continues the more powerful are the interests concerned in prolonging it. The genuine princi ples of commercial intercourse between nations begin to be understood and admitted by all. By the extracts from the Quotidiennc, it appears that the absurd and mischievous custom-house war between France arid Sweden is at end, and that the two kingdoms are about to adjust their corn mercial relations on sound principles. The Echo du Midi announces that the Session of the Cham bers will open between the 15th and 1 25th of February. The private correspondence of the French Papers from Spain would dispose us to expect after all that the Duke del Infantado wilt prove the devoted instrument of the apostolic party. There is a great mass of pretended news from Greece in these papers, but it supplies us with few additional facts worthy of credit. Redschid Pacha still remained before Missolonghi, but there was no reason to apprehend that he could , be suc cessful at this season of the year. The Albanians have deserted him, and famine and fatigue daily increased the general discontent of his army.— Ibrahim Pacha is stated to have summoned the Greek Government to evacuate Napoli di Ro mania before the arrival of his reinforcements from Egypt. If they do not capitulate before that period, be threatens to storm the town and put all the inhabitants to the sword. In conse quence of this menace, it was supposed the Greek Government had resolved to withdraw to the islands of Salimino or Egina. We must not forget, however, that all this intelligence comes to us through those German papers which are avowedly hostile to the Greek cause. The French Funds are improving as well as our own. The Five per Cents. advanced on Wednesday 40c., and the Three per Cents. 50c. During the late panic on the Paris Exchange, it is said the sellers were principally small holders, whose losses have consequently been felt very severely. The alarm was at one time quite as great as any thing that has lately been witnessed in Capel court. [NEW TIMES.] The result of yesterday's operations may be said to be, upon the whole, favourable ; but, pro perly considered, it proves nothing but The inti mate connexion that exists between the French and English Money Markets. Consols had been on Thursday as low as 85, but yesterday they advanced, notwithstanding some very heavy sales which were effected for the evident purpose of beating down the Market. The sustaining cause was the arrival of French Expresses with the price of 68f.40c. for the Three per Cents., which is fully one per cent. better than they were two or three days ago. Consols opened at 85i for Account, and closed at 85 1 1.—1 n the Foreign Market the fluctuations yesterday were consider able : Colombian Bonds of 1824 were, at one period of the day, up to 66, but left off at 644 ; Mexican (1825) had reached 722, but closed at 70. French Rentes opened at 98. 50., closed at 98, and upon the whole it may be said that the Foreign Securities left off worse than they began the day. In the Share Market business was nearly stagnant. [MORNING HERALD.] A Bradford Paper, alluding to the late dissen tions between the masters and their workmen, says—" It is now ascertained, that the number of men, women, and children, out of employment amounts to no less than 3,280 ; and as the Union funds admit of but one shilling a week to each man, and two shillings if there be a large family, it is obvious that the sufferings and privations of these individuals must be great."— This comes to what we not long since said— that Governments have nothing to do with com binations, but to let combinators have their own way, so long as they do not proceed to actual violeuce, or squirting vitriol in peoples' eyes. Combinators themselves will effect a cure for combinations. I t is evident that the wives and children of these combinators will not let the latter proceed much longer in their career. Two shillings a-week for a man, his wife, and family, will not do much, so that the combination fund must soon break up. It Is lucky for the masters that the Parliament is not sitting, or it might be doing some stupid thing to protract the ending of the combination mania. We should like to know whether the mas ter manufacturers go on educating the little girls and boys belonging to the combinators.— Mr. Brougham says that the education of the poor is a cure for all political evils. We hope the Bradford master manufacturers agree with Mr. Brougham ; but in this case, will education fill the void in the stomachs of the weaver, his wife, and their children, caused by the difference between two shillings a week and twenty shit- Hugs a week? We should like Mr. Brougham to resolve this position when he next makes one of his speeches on the blessings attending the teaching every body to read, write, and cast up accounts. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The Lord Chancellor was, on Thursday, par ticularly great on two of his favourite subjects of complaint—the publication of ex-parte state. meets, and his own expulsion from Lincoln's Inn hall at three o'clock. With regard to the first point, his Lordship said, that he had observed a hundred times, that when he first came into Westminster Hall, no publications were allowed until the whole case was completed ; adding, that how the law has been altered in this re• spect was more than he knew. Had his Lordship considered the effect of this doctrine once, instead of repeating it a hundred times, he would have perceived that it would operate to the sup pression of nearly all reports of Chancery pro ceedings under the best of Chancellors. If no publications were allowed until the whole case was completed, it is pretty evident that we should have to wait till the day of judgment for the report. The completion of a case in Chan cery is an event which mortal man cannot ex pect to see, and therefore, as by the terms of our brief existence, we are debarred from the hope of seeing the whole of a case, we must, perforce, content ourselves with such glimpses of the progress of the suit as we can ob tain and derive from these observations some idea of the machinery of Equity. How it happened, that when Lord Eldon first went into Westminster Hall, cases were only publish. ed, when wholly completed, it is difficult to understand ; for no Chancellor ever dispatched business so rapidly as his Lordship (see The Quarterl2 Review), and we all know that such a rule would now amount to a total suppression of publication. Large properties, such as get into Chancery, are what the French cooks call good pieces of resistance, and it takes a long tune to get through them, and before they are wasted they are not ripe for judgment. When we hear the dseless clamour, then; about the de lays in Chancery, we always think of the answer which the Clown gave to the Farmer, when he was rebuked for wasting an immoderate time in eating the Farmer's huge Cheshire cheese, which had been set before him for a luncheon, " Sir," said the fellow, as he perseveringly munched away, " it takes a greater time than you think to vat .up such a large cheese as this." So it is in Chancery ; it takes a greater time than parties imagine to swallow up their properties, and people do not reflect that the Court, like the Clown, sits down to gorge nothing less than the whole of the good thing before it. With regard to tl)e second com plaint of the Chancellor on Thursday, touching his expulsion from Lincoln's Inn Hall, we have only again to remind him, that the Court at Westminster is now finished, and that. no bounds will be set to his sittings there, where no dining hours will shorten his hours of business, or inter fere with his devotion to the business of suitors. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A MEMBER OF THE STOCK EXCH AN GE. MANSION-HousE.—Yesterday a Stockbroker was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having appropriated to his own use the sum of 3001. which had been entrusted to his care for the purchase of Stock in the Consolidated Three per Cent. Annuities.—The Rev. Henry Hodgkinson, of Arbor.. field, in the county of Berks, gave testimony to the following effect :—He had been in the habit of taking money from Mrs. Elizabeth Howard, of Reading, in the county of Berks, widow, to London, for the purpose of investing it in the public fiends, and had several times employed the prisoner, who is a Stock broker in the City of London, to make purchases in the stocks for that lady. On the 16th day of March, Mr. Hodgkinson was in London, and called at the office of the prisoner, but not finding him at home, left an order in writing, directing him to purchase stock in the Consolidated Three per cent. Annui ties to the amount of 3001. in the name and on account of Mrs. Elizabeth Howard. Mr. Hodgkinson also left notice that he would call on the following day, and pay the amount of the purchase. On the 17th of llarch he accordingly did call at the office of the prisoner, who informed him that he had made the purchase required, and gave . to him an account thereof, which Mr. Hodgkinson believed to bear the signa ture, and to he in the proper hand-writing of the prisoner. Mt. Hodgkinson, having looked over the account, paid the pri soner the money, amounting to the sum of 230/. 17s. Gd. con sisting of Bank of England notes, and notes 'of 'the bank of Messrs. Stephens, Harris, and Stephens, of Reading. The prisoner promised to forward.the stock receipt on the following day to Mr. Hodgkinson, but that gentleman never received it, and therefore wrote to the prisoner, complaining of the delay, and requesting that it should be forwarded. He received by . return of post the following letter : " London, March 21, 1825. " DEAR SIR—I am sorry to find by your letter this morn ing that you have not received Mrs. Howard's stock receipt. I sent it to a friend on Friday, requesting him to procure a frank, and forward it for me, but which I am fearful he ne glected to do. I have sent to him this morning, but am in formed he will not be in town till tomorrow, when I will call and see that the receipt is forwarded, if not already done. " I remain, dear Sir, your's, truly obliged. " The Rev. H. Hodgkinson." Mr. Hodgkinson believed this letter to be in the hand-writ ing of the prisoner. He, however, never received any receipt from the prisoner ' • and after be found that the acknowledg ment was not forthcoming, he went to the Bank, where he soon ascertained that the stock described had not been purchased at all. The prisoner appeared to be astonished at' hearing of this circumstance, but said it was too late to rectify - the error which no doubt his clerk had made that day. The ratification, how ever, never took place. A clerk of the Bank of England stafed that Mr. Hodgkinson' called to make inquiry about Mrs. Elizabeth Howard's account, and upon referring to the books it was found that no entry had been made—that no transfer had been made of the kind men tioned. The Solicitor for the prisoner here submitted, that the pro secution could not be supported, inasmuch as Mrs. Hovlard had instituted civil proceedings for the recovery ,of the money, and an action was now pending. Mr. Butler, clerk to Mr. Harmer, said, that by the Act for the punishment of offenders of the description' now before the Lord Mayor; the injured person could seek for both civil and criminal means of redress. The LORD MAYOR said the case was a clear one. Mr. Hodgkinson, in speaking of the transaction to the Lord Mayor, said he had, sonic months ago, lent the sum of 300!. to the prisoner, out of his own pocket, to relieve him in his ne cessity. That money he considered totally lost. He certainly attributed the conduct of the prisoner to misfortunes arising from adverse speculations in the Stock Exchange during the rage fir the possession of shares, and he had never betbre ex. perienced any injury upon his own part, or the part of a friend, from him. The prisoner's father, and the prisoner him self, had done business for him for 20 ye a rs. The priioner's Solicitor assured the Lord Mayor that the un fortunate young man's calamity had been attributed to the right cause. He requested, arid it was with the consent of Mr. Haig kinson, that his client should be remanded for a day or two ; he said he was convinced that by that time something more fa vourable would appear in the case. Mr. Hodgkinson humanely declared that he had not the slightest objection, and the prisoner was accordingly remanded until yesterday. When the case came forward for re-examination yesterday, no person appeared against him, whereupon The LORD MAYOR said he had remanded the prisoner at the uegent request of several persons of respectability, anti particu larly at the request of the prosecutor himself, who seemed to take a humane interest in the situation of the young man. His Lordship observed that he could well conceive why the injured parties forebore to attend, but the case, upon the depositions laid before him, appeared to be of such a nature, that he thought it his duty to order the prisoner to find bail to answer to the charge that might hereafter be made against him at the Sessions. The prisoner was then bailed in two sureties for 561. each, and was discharged. The Loan .MAYOR, when the case was thus disposed of, said, he should in future be very cautious how he discharged persons against whom charges of so serious a nature were brought, except he saw there was a palpable deficiency of evidence. CAT FLAYING. ty itnifar.r..—A general feeling of disgust and horror was excited yesterday in this Justice-room, by the examination of a young woman named Catherine Evans, who was charged be fore Mr. Alderman ANSLEY with . purloining a very handsome large cat, with intent to possess herself of its skin. The complainant, a green-grocer, of the nam e of L ong , i n Cloth-fair, stated that he observed the prisoner come up to his door, about six o'clock the previous evening, and coax his cat to the threshold, which, being a very kind sociable an im a l, was no difficult matter, when she suddenly snatched it up, hid it under her cloak, and walked off with it. He let her proceed some distance before he attempted to arrest her progress; and when he seized her she seemed greatly alarmed, anti imme diately let poor puss fall to the ground. He gave her in cus tody to Jones, a constable, who searched her, and found in her pockets the skins of six more animals of the feline species, all quite warm, and obviously all stripped from the carcases since dusk that evening. She had also a proper knife for ripping off the skin, and a piece of cat's meat to be used as a bait. Several of his neighbours, he said, had of late been unaccountably de prived of their favourite tabbies, and one of them had a few mornings ago found his cat actually crawling about alive, though deprived of the whole of its skin. The constable exhibited the skins and knife he had found on the prisoner, and Mr. Long carried his cat about in his arms. Corby, the street-keeper of St. Andrew's, Holborn, recog nized the prisoner as what he termed " a regular morning sneak," and one whom he had long suspected es being a pur veyor of cat's fur. It was the practice now, he said, to strip the cats up the first convenient bye-place, and 'the bare car cases might be seen about some parts of his parish to the num ber of twenty in a morning. Lone, the prosecutor, also stated that he had seen about a score of naked carcases at a time under a gateway in Lincoln's Inn -fields. •- • The prisoner cried most bitterly, and in answer to questions put by the Worthy Alderican, said she got her living by sell ing fruit and dealing in rabbit skins; that she lived in Tash court, Gray's Inn-l a n e , an d t h a t s h e bought the cat skins t*()und on her from a boy for is., and should sell them again for 7d. each. The Worthy Alderman seemed quite at a loss how to deal with the delinquent, and remanded her until to-morrow (this day), that he might make up his mind on the subject. CURIOUS CASE.
