THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts'fro in [lig Morning Papers , March,3o,l 825. ENEW TIMES.] The judgment of the Lord Chancellor, deli vered yesterday, in the case of the Real del Monte Mine Company, will operate as a serious - warning to the numerous individuals who are daily embarking in new undertakings, without considering the responsibility which they there by incur. Far be it from us to discourage or discountenance beneficial projects! We wish the spirit of enterprise and ingenuity to be invigorat ed, and to act in every possible direction, so that it be under the direction of prudence. But it is extremely necessary thatindividuals should clear ly understand the situation in which they are plac ed, and the responsibilities which they incur. There is no legal limitation, that we know of, to the number of partners, except in banking con cerns : and if any person choose to become a partner with five hundred others, he is at liberty so to do, and may do it prudently and properly in certain cases. All that we are anxious to im press on our readers is, that unless a particular company be exempted by statute from the general provisions of the law, its members remain co partners, and nothing more, and are answerable to the creditors of the concern with their whole property. It is too generally thought, that if a Certnpany do but procure an Act of Parliament, the Members are safe from all responsibility beyond the amount of their Share. This may be the case, in certain instances, but at pre. sent, the Legislature is not much in the habit of passing Acts with such provisions. Many Com panies apply merely for a Bill to authorise them to sue and be sued in the name of their Clerk or other Officer. Prima . facie, this a benefit to the Public, because it affords them an easy remedy against the Society; but the great object of many who apply for such Acts is to obtain, by means of them, a Parliamentary recognition of the legal existence of the Association to which they be long. When they have once been so recognized, it becomes difficult to treat them as public nui sances. It is therefore important that before the Legislature passes any Bills, however trivial in purport for the benefit of a new Society, it should be fully satisfied of the laudable, or, at least, in uocent, objects of the Society in question. [MORNING HERALD.] We should think that the opinion given yes terday in the Court of Chancery, by the Lord Chancellor, would have a serious effect on the modern schemes. His Lordship stated, that ex cepting a special Act of Parliament were got in every case, each partner in these schemes, though possessing only a simple share, would, in case of the bankruptcy of a scheme concern, be liable for the debts of the concern to the whole extent of his property, on the same principle that an-indi vidual was in common partnerships. This is but fair, for it would be highly improper that a Corn pany—we will say of Fishmongers or Milkmen, consisting only of six partners, should carry on trade, and that each partner should be liable in the whole extent j f his property to the dents of the concern, and *Ana ;n ...ocher Company, because it contained 60 or 600, or 6,000 partners, or share holders, each shareholder should be liable only to the debts of the concern to the extent to which nis share went. This would, indeed, be en couraging a monopoly at the expence of indi vidual trade. We hope, when the scheme Bills come before either House, that this unjust dis tinction may be considered. If it be not, and these Companies go on increasing, there will not tz a retailer or a wholesale trader safe from the most serious interference on the part of Com panies, who, by the mere dint of capital, may for is-time carry all before them. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We have elsewhere alluded to the opinions of the Lord Chancellor on the subject of Associa tions. The question came before the House last night, on the motion of Mr. Peter Moore to re peal the Bubble Act. Something ought un doubtedly to be done to make this law clear and intelligible ; to leave people at li berty to carry on business singly or by asso ciation, subject in both cases to liability to cre ditors to the extent of their means. It is shame ful on the part of those whose business it is to attend to the state of the law, to allow of any private Bills.for Joint Stock Companies. All As sociations ought to be placed on the same footing, and no preferences ought to be given ; and if the state of the Law throws obstacles in the way of conducting business by association without a pri vate Bill, the Law ought to be altered. Our own opinion is, that very few associations would be formed, were the Law what it ought to be. [BRITISH PRESS.I The - West India Company Bill was read a second time last night, after a very feeble oppo sition on the part of Mr. F. Buxton and 'Jr. W. Smith. The ground of objection was, that the Company was established to uphold slavery. The negro question is one which some Members of Parliament can never suffer to pass by them without some vague and general denunciation of the colonists. This topic is so irresistible to these gentlemen that it even moved Mr. Fowell Buxton to take the field against a Bill for a Joint Stock Association. But really what connec tion has this Company with the question of negro slavery ? Certainly none, excepting so far as it may provide the means of disposing more readily and profitably of the colonial produce, and in that way ensure, amongst other beneficial conse quences, the greater prosperity of the islands and the better treatment of the blare population. Slavery, unfortunately, exists. It was established by the British Parliament in the colonies for the interets of the Mother Country. The only consi deration with those who are the sincere and en lightened friends of the Negroes is, how the work ..of progressive emancipation can be most safely effectually commenced, and during the con tinuance of their actual condition, how they-can be rei - ,dered most tranquil and comfortable. It is clear that if the planters be liable to frequently recurring and widely-extended distress, the slave population must be miserable and discontented, and that no measures can be adopted towards them but those of coercion and severity. The first step to the improvement of their moral and civil condition must be to raise them from abject dis tress, and this end can be attained only when their masters are in a state of ease and prosperity. A wretched body of proprietors and a comfortable population of slaves cannot coexist.' If Mr. F. Buxton, then, were not warped in' his judgment by his prejudices on this subject, he ought to have been among the first to have given his sup port to this measure, more worthy of his aid, we think, than any of the numerous schemes in which the Honourable Gentleman is con cerned. The object of the Bill is only to enable the West India Company to sue and be sued in the name of its Secretary ; and with out denying the propriety of extending this privilege to any of the Companies now before Parliament, we do not hesitate to affirm that this is far more entitled to the benefit it solicits than anY one of them. The direction of the Company will be under the most respectable auspices ; and it is the opinion of the ablest persons con versant with the Colonial trade, that the forma tion of the Company will render the most essen tial services both to the planters and the po pulation. [MORNING POST.] In the House of Commons, last night, Mr. Littleton fixed Thursday the 14th of April, for bringing in his Bill to regulate the Elective Franchise in Ireland, and Lord F. Gower gave notice, that on the 26th of the same month he should ask leave to bring in a Bill to make a pro vision for the Catholic Clergy of Ireland. The only important business of the evening was Mr. Huskisson's Motion for a Select Committee to inquire into the effects of the Act of the sth of George IV. chap. 59, in respect to the con duct of workmen and others in the different parts of the United Kingdom ; and to re port their opinion to the House how far it may be necessary to repeal the same Act. The necessity for such an inquiry was most ably and forcibly shown by the Right Honourable Gentle man, and must indeed be manifest to every indi vidual who has paid attention to the conduct of workmen in various parts of the country, since Mr. Ilume's Act of last year repealed between thirty and forty Statutes, and also put the common law aside on the subject. In this Act, or rather this abortion, which it is most surprising passed both Houses in its present shape, the second section instead of discountenancing, positively encourages the formation of com binations, for it enacts 44 that journeymen and workmen entering into combinations for the pur pose of raising wages, or regulating the mode of carrying on any manufacture or trade, or for the management thereof, shall not be subject to any indictment or criminal prosecution under any statute or at common law !" Well might Mr. Huskisson say, that any one who " read that section might believe that the Law held it de sirable that combinations should take place."— The sth section, the only penal one in the Act, only provides, " that any person who, by violence or threats of violence, should wil fully and maliciously force any one to quit his hiring, or should destroy the goods of others, should on conviction before two Magistrates and on the evidence of two witnesses, be punished with two months' imprisonment." So inadequate a punishment also tends to encourage instead of repressing offences, and it is not astonishing that the men conceiving themselves set free from all restraints should have proceeded as they have done. The Right Honourable Gentleman then read the articles of regulation drawn up for the use of the operative colliers in the Counties of Lanark, Dumbarton, and Renfrew, which consisted nearly of forty different articles and " appointed Presidents, Secretaries, Trea surers, Committees of Management, &c. with as much solemnity as if the Government of a king dom were in question." lie showed that not only did each trade form an association of this kind, but that there was an association of delegates from all the trades in each district, and that from these was formed one general Congress. The 11th article pointed out the du ties of this General Committee of Delegates. These duties were, first, to designate such masters as they disliked ; secondly, to warn them of their danger; and thirdly, to try every prudent means of putting them out of the trade. Not to try by argument, persuasion, or even by law, to bring back any masters who had acted harshly to a sense of their duty, and to an act of justice, but to try to drive them out of their trade, and thus to ruin them for ever. Be sides this, the power of levying money was vested in the General Committee. After de scribing some more of the regulations of this Association,. Mr. lluskisson noticed another, different in form, but similar in effect—the Seamen's Union Society, founded on the prin ciple, that its members were to select and appoint those who were to be in authority over then, in the ship! He was not after all much surprised that such associations had been formed, when he looked to the words of the Act and saw how easy it was by an artful construction to wrest its provisions from their true intent.-- The labourers believed that it did not at all interfere between them and their masters, and they thought their associations were per fectly legal. Mr. 'hone endeavoured to excuse himself and the Committee for having framed a measure of which he could not altogether deny the injurious results. He admitted the neces sity of inquiry ; and Mr. Secretary Peel having demonstrated that the state of things (bus created " was a dreadful vulgar tyranny less endurable than the despotism of one man, and destructive to the prosperity of the country," the motion was urianimoudy agreed to, and a Committee ap pointed. [THE TIMES. The first fruit of the long and laborious in quiries which have been instituted into the state of Ireland, under the authority, and by Com mittees of both Houses of Parliament, has come forth in the form of a Report of Evidence taken before the Select Committee of the House of Lords. We have just had time to glance for a moment at this extraordinary and important pro duction, and to experience some of that intense interest which it is manifestly calculated to ex cite. Little more, however, is now practicable than to state the names of a few of the witnesses, with here and there a hint as to the particu lar subject on which their examinations were opened. Mr. Frankland Lewis.—Effects of the distil lery laws—State of manufactures—Landlord and tenant—Catholic question. Mr. Doherty.—State of the peasantry—Land lord and tenant—Administration of justice. Mr. Blake (Chief Remembrancer, and a Ca tholic.)—Opportunities of acquiring intelligence derived to him from his office as Commissioner of Education—State of the peasantry—Subdivision of property—Civil distinctions on account of religion—Feelings of the Catholics—Reforms in troduced under Lord Wellesley's administration —Provision for the Catholic clergy—Elective franchise=Necessity and advantages of Catholic emancipation. Mr. O'Connell.—Administration of justice— Censurable appointments to the Bench—Vices of the Magistracy—New police—Corporations— Catholic grievances —Catholic principles and views —Catholic clergy—Elective franchise— Orange confederacy—Catholic emancipation. Messrs. Lesslie Foster, Glassford, General Bowker, Colonel Curry, Rev. Mr. Burnett, Mr. Abbot, Rev. Mr. Cooke, General Egerton, were likewise examined ; and the volume closes with the long and most curious evidence of Bishop Doyle, principally given with a view to illustrate the constitution and character of the Catholic Church of Ireland, as also the manner in which the priesthood stand affected towards the measure of emancipation, and that for providing them with a subsistence under the authority of Par liament. We shall return to this great subject, which grows in magnitude and i❑ urgency every hour. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.) A requisition for convening a public Meeting of Merchants, Bankers, Shipowners, and Traders, of the City of London, to consider the expe diency of petitioning Parliament for a re vision of the Corn Laws, is in course of signa ture. The Lord Mayor has promised to preside ; and there is no doubt but the attendance will be commensurate with the importance of the ques tion. The present regulations are so vicious, that there has been long a general cry for their revi sion, and as the rest of the Public suffer severely under their operation, without the Agricul turists being really benefitted, we indulge in the hope that this Session will be distinguished by another triumph over antiquated prejudices. Without it, all the other labours of the Le gislature for the improvement of trade would be incomplete, for, though with her vast capital, skill, and spirit of enterprise, the country has been hitherto able to beat down all competition, she cannot always calculate on the same success, if the necessaries of life remain here at double the price which they are likely to fetch in any other country.

The alarm has subsided, busi ness is again resumed, but the people are evidently under great apprehension that a repetition will occur. There is a vessel here of 16 guns, which was under Spanish colours, and it is understood that she has been a privateer cruising against the French and American ships ; however, she has now submitted to the Colombian flag, and will shortly sail to commit f res h piracies ; she is heavily laden with goods belonging to other nations. The face of nature here bears the most promising appearance, but the natives are so indOlent, that they will not even take the crops from the ground; nothing is wanted but industry. Business of every description is very dull." COURT OF ALDERMEN.—YPstertIay the Lord Mayor held a Court of Aldermen at Guildhall, for the general dispatch of public business. The Committee of Pnvileges presented reports for making the companies of woolmen and basket-makers livery companies of the city, which were agreed to. and ordered, and liveries granted them respectively. Com missioners were appointed to sit in the Court of Requests for the months of April and May next. The Conn were occupied a t some length in hearing a complaint aga i ns t a b ro k er . The Gaol Committee delivered in a report for excluding the public from the condemned sermons in Newgate, which was agreed to. Two members were translated from the Company of Needlemakers, by consent of all parties, to the Companies of Salters and Stationers. Several persons were sworn, and others allowed to ke admitted brokers. Licences were granted to coal-undertakers.

EDITOR-It has been with sensations of disgust and deep regret that I have often read the barkings at the India House, respecting the conversion of the natives of India and a Free Press. It seems to me astonishing that party spirit should lead men so far astray from common sense as the speeches of Mr. Hunic and Mr. BUCKING HAM were, at the India House last week, in at tributing the late mutiny at Barrackpore to the Censorship on the Press. I am not surprised at the latter doing so from interested motives ; but that Mr. HUME should offer such an opinion, and per sist in endeavouring to remove the Censorship on the Press at such a time as this, makes me think that his head and heart do not act in conjunc tion. It is to be hoped that Parliament will take up the business, and see it in its proper light, before it is too late. It appears to me that the immediate cause of the mutiny may arise from the Sepoys' allow ances or indulgences being curtailed, or perhaps from something more frivolous. Where there is a disposition to insubordination, a pretext may always be found, but the predisposing cause or evil should be probed to its source, or a conti nuance of subordination will not follow. In my opinion nothing less than a solemn declaration from this Government, and also from the Indian Government to the natives of India, that they will not in future, directly or indirectly, interfere with their religion, will quiet their minds, and make them obedient (for any length of time) to their military law and civil government. It was always a maxim with that good man, Marquis CORNWALLIS, never to interfere, or allow any of the Company's Servants to interfere, with their i religion, and for this reason he was' beloved by all the native inhabitants, and I believe him to have been as pure a Christian as any of the stre nuous advocates for converting the Hindoos to Christianity. I am sorry to see that we have schools in different parts of the country, which we avow are instituted to undermine their religion.— Most of the Brahmins and many of the other natives are sensible men, and see the drift of this, and bias the minds of all the lower orders ; from this circumstance alone, the greater part of the inhabitants are disaffected to our Government, and would change their dis position if they saw a determined resolution on the part of Government not to interfere with their religion ; but this must not be done by half measures; some decisive step must be followed. The removal of Governor-General will not do, unless some such measures as are here proposed are followed by the successor. If the Missionaries were sent home, it would have ten times as good effect as any change in the administration. For the sake of humanity, and for the welfare of our Indian possessions, and our own country, I hope some such mea sures will be adopted, and that it may have the desired effect of making the inhabitants of India sensible of the happiness our Government is cal culated to ensure to them, and that peace and good will soon follow, is the wish of AN OLD INDIAN.
