LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY 182,5. Exiractsfrom the Morning Papers,Jun.2s, [THE Tuts's.] It appears that Mr. O'Connell has, as might Ise expected, taken a magnanimous revenge up on the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland for the per sonal indignity offered him by the Attorney-Ge • neral on a lat e o ccasion, in failing to get a bill fotrnd for seditious w ords, and so cheating the Learned Gentleman of his speech to the Jury. Lkt a charity dinner, of which Mr. O'Connell was President, he assigned his motives for not drinking the Lord Lieutenant's health, in the regular order after the " King," " Ireland, ice., and stated that the reason of his omitting that courtesy was, " the course that Lord Wellesley 44 adopted at his setting out, when he conferred the dignity of Knighthood on Alderman James, " and which the Noble Lord having since fol " lowed up to the close—as he (Mr. O'Connell) " had reason to think it was near the close—of " his administration, made it, in his opinion, safer " to be the enemy than the friend of the Noble Marquis." Here are cause and effect, sure enough, as plain as if Pangloss himself had de scribed them. Lord Wellesley had, three years ago, made Mr. James a Baronet; and instead of giving a silk gown to Mr. O'Connell, his Lord ship had suffered the Attorney-General to threaten him_ with an impertinent prosecution.— Now, therefore, that the Noble Lord is, accord ing to Mr. O'Connell, about to take his leave of Ireland, and to be no longer a man in power there, the Learned Gentleman thinks it a con venient opportunity for eating all his own fine speeches, and declaring that he does not care a button for his Excellency, because, in the case of a defunct or a departing Chief Governor, it is as wise, or even wiser, to be his enemy than his friend ! We confess we are disgusted at this egre semis folly. Without caring for either of the in dividuals—the object of the rudeness, or the au thor of it—we would only ask the Catholics of both countries, whether they will be led any longer by the fickle, inconsistent, unreflecting, indiscreet loquacity of Mr. O'Connell ?--He must know—if he knows any thing—that the present Lord Lieutenant is a staunch supporter of emancipation, for which O'Connell and his brother demagogues are eternally bawling. He (O'Connell) has admitted a thousand times, that during this government justice has been im partially administered, and therefore that the main grievance affecting the poor has actually been redressed ; as that which affects the rich Catholic would be, if the Lord Lieutenant had the same power of making laws that he has of putting them in execution. What, then, is the Catholic leader driving at ? lf, as he says, Lord Wellesley be more influenced by fear than by gratitude or friendship, his accuser, it may be acknowledged, has stolen largely from his Lordship's book. As a fund of conciliation for the next Lord Lieutenant, Mr. O'Connell pur loins the little perquisites of common civility from the present one. There may be malice in the wish, but there would be no more than justice in the fulfilment of it, that Mr. O'Connell and his party might soon be blessed with a red-hot Orange Government in Ireland ; and, by fawn ing and servility towards their persecutors—equal to the contumely which they have shown to their protectors—add one other illustration of the maxim, that of some people it is safer to be the enemy than the friend. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] N'Ve have received the Etoile, dated Sunday, I but its contents are unimportant, with the excep tion of an announcement of a rise in the rentes en the preceding day. This improvemeut, as connected with our recognition of the New States of America, particularly as the Parisian specu lators had then had ample time to weigh well its consequences, as well as an opportunity of sounding the feelings of their own Government —seems to us to constitute an unerring sign that the peace of the world will not, in the slightest degree, be affected by this very important pro ceeding. A higher proof than this of the power and consideration of this country could not be adduced ; and perhaps at no former period could she have embraced a resolution involving sach mighty interests, and shocking so many powerful prejudices, with so little risk. ft' the French Government, as the party most interest ed, next to Spain, feels sore in consequence, it has taken such good care to disguise its feelings, as to keep them a secret from the re s t of the world. It is, at the same time, so embarrassed by the complexity and magnitude of its domestic transactions, that it must put a good face on the matter, whether pleased or not ; and, if our Cabinet waited, as the French Opposition papers have asserted in chorus, till it saw that of France thus entangled, what does this mean, after all, but that the former has displayed on,the occasion consummate prudence ? But this is not the only guarantee for the quiet deportment of the Power, ag Villele's Ministry would not, in all probabi lity, survive the first cannon shot that should be Tired in such a quarrel. Moreover, the irrecon cilable spirit of party in that country, which a dispute between the two countries would inflame almost to madness, is the best of atl securities against such a contingency. Therefore the French Ministerial Press may amuse and terrify its readers with portentious signs as much as it pleases ; but it must not seek in the conduct of tkat Government for these portents; and it is hut just to the former to say, that its allusions to this effect have been of late more rare. Even The Etoile has but little to say now on the sub ject of our relations with South America ; but, in revenge, it has found inexhaustible mutter of animadversion, in the tirades of The Courier against the Catholics of Ireland. In the discord which these tirades are calculated to excite, it sees a counterpoise to the strength and considera tion which this country shall derive from the libe rality of her conduct towards the New American States. But it does not know that it greatly overrates the-labours of the London Journal, and that the latter is held in the utmost contempt by all the enlightened adherents of Government, for the coarseness and disingenuousness of its remarks on this subject. If the Etoile wishes to ascertain what are the real feelings of the English Cabinet with respect to Ireland, it must examine the temper of the Irish Government, and observe the effects of that temper on the present state of the country. For ages, Ireland - has not been so tran quil as she is at this very moment ; and her quiet condition, as contrasted with the past, absolutely throws an air of burlesque over the tone of alarm affected by The Courier. Therefore The Etoile deceives itself, and misleads its readers, if it thinks it can see in the inflammatory language of that Paper, a counteraction to the liber a lity o f our policy with regard to the New World. [BRITISH PRESS.] Never was delusion practised with more suc cess than it is at this moment : this rage for spe culation wtll, no doubt, soon work its own cure; but, in the mean time, a vast mass of that capi tal which might have been employed in opening new lines of industry, and have reproduced it self with a profit to the projector, and an im provement to the country, is sacrificed to the bubbles of a set of schemers, were making im mense fortunes out of the seemingly inexhausti ble stock of public credulity. If all these dreams of wealth could even be realised ; if all the mines of Mexico and Peru could, by any ma gic power, be made to strew the streets of Lon don, the effect would only be to extinguish the spirit of industry, and to raise the price of its produce. If ingots were so plentiful as, in the celebrated phrase of Mr. Burke, " to be trodden under the hoofs of the swinish multitude," the nation would be but so much the poorer, while meat, drink, and clothing, and all the solid con veniences and comforts of life, would be so much the dearer. It might indeed happen here and' there to one, that he should Have a silver sty With a door of ivory." But as for the rest of the herd, we should all, to a man, wish this mass of treasure once more buried in the bowels of the earth from whence it came. This would be the certain result, sup posing all these golden dreams could be realized, and that the speculations were not bottomed—as they are—in sheer stock-jobbing. Gold and silver are like other commodities; any specula tion of profit to be made by increasing their quantity must depend upon, whether the quan tity in the market, or capable of being brought into it, is already sufficient : if it is, the addition will be superfluous; if it is not, the increased de mand will be in proportion to the deficiency. No newly-discovered mines can have the least effect in augmenting the real and effective demand. If two bakers in a town can bake all the bread that is required by its inhabitants, the introduction of twenty more bakers' shops will not create a de mand for a single loaf, beyond the usual con sumption, and those who have shares in the new ovens will in vain look for a return, either in meal or i n malt. We have no data by which to esti mate the total produce of the South American mines ; but taking the metallic wealth of Mexico, for instance, to have doubled with the last cen tury, the present annual produce of these mines alone will be about 20 millions. There was brought into the King's Exchequer, from Mexico, in the year 1730, somewhat better than a million marks of silver. This was the King's duty from the mines, which ought to be one-fifth of the metal taken out of them. The whole then must amount to five millions of marks (a mark is equivalent to eight of our ounces), so that, if we compute this silver at only ss. an ounce, the inhabitants of Mexico received at that period from their mines, ten millions in money. With regard to the Pe ruvian mines, there are no exact data, but we have a regular account of those of Potosi for fifty years—that is, from the date of their discovery up to the year 1595, within which period they had produced forty-four mil lions sterling of our money : but it is allowed that since that period they have considerably sunk in value, in consequence of other rich mines having been discovered. But we may form a tolerably correct estimate of the whole produce of the Spanish American mines, by the quantity which, in time of peace, came in the shape of duty, and otherwise, to the mother country. The ave rage cargo brought home by the galleons was about three millions in gold, and by the Ilota one million. In silver, the ordinary cargo was twenty millions, and of the flota ten. This estimate is ex clusive of what arrived by regular ships, and of what was introduced claudestinely,w filch amounted to many millions more. But the condition of Spain itself, with all this stream of gold and sil verl flowing continually into it, sufficiently proves how worse titan useless it is as a mere represent ative wealth, and the more it is multiplied the more it loses its value ; and it clearly must do, when, as a circulating medium, it increases sud denly, and beyond all proportion to the increase of the commodities to be circulated. [NEW TIMES.] Yesterday an express brought private letters and papers from Paris to Saturday evening ; the accounts received through this medium continue satisfactory ; the Rentes closed on Saturday at 103 f. sc. for the Account. The business tran sacted in the British Funds yesterday pro duced a slight decline in Consols ; they open ed at 941, and closed 94A- for the Account.— The interest excited by the formation of new Companies continues undiminished, and tl►e num ber which report states yet to be forthcoming is beyond all expectation. An improvement in the price of some of the shares took place yesterday ; while a few experienced a further decline, as w ill b e perceived by our list of prices. The Foreign Securities underwent little variation. [MORNING Pont.] The result of a recent trial in Ireland, rela tive to the Killeshandra rioters, is an irrefraga ble proof of the falsehood of many of the most violent complaints of oppression and mal-admi nistration of justice which have been so long and so loudly proclaimed by the Irish Papists. They have mahinged the law and it s disp e nsers ; where as instead of resorting to either they have flown in the face of both. The proceedings in Cavan also belie the calumnies which have constantly been circulated against the Orangemen, as scandal ous perverters of right and truth, to the fur therance of mere party objects. The Roman Catholics express themselves satisfied with the conduct of the Jury, the Bench, and all concerned at the late Sessions. Be it observed, then, that no new laws were put in force upon the occasion, nor any course adopted but that which has almost time out of mind been available by the Papists, in common with the rest of his Majesty's subjects. Be it likewise remarked, that the prosecutor and his witnesses were Catholics, while the traverser, most of the Jury, and most of the Bench were Orangemen. Here, therefore, was the very op portunity for verifying or falsifying the eter nal charges of the Catholics against their Protestant fellow-countrymen ; and against the system of Government under which they live. And what has been the result ? That the Orange- men administered justice to their avowed enemies and slanderers with perfect impartiality, and pro priety, and punished one of their own body for violating the law against a Papist ! Whence this practical contradiction of all previous Catholic theories ? Simply because the Romanists for once laid aside surmise, and restored to proof—because they at last bethought them of appealing to the law in place of outraging it, and have found all their frightful self-suggested visions of oppression or in justice effectually dissipated. It is indeed notorious to all acquainted with Ireland, that the fears of the Catholics have been purely imaginary. They have supposed the Government, the Tribunals, and the Protestants generally, capable of every infamous cruelty towards them, and on this hy pothesis they have grounded the most doleful catalogue of grievances. In future the Papists will do well to descend to the region of experi ence and reason before they complain of wrongs. [MORNING HERALD.] Some of the Papers announce that the work men are employed in preparing St. James's Pa lace for the reception of his Majesty, who is about to remove therefrom Carlton House, which is to be immediately pulled down, and a new Palace erected upon its site, extending consider ably towards Charing Cross—and which they add, has long been a favourite object with the King. We are free to confess that the state of all the Royal Palaces, with the exception of Windsor, has long been a reproach to the na tion, whose Monarchs have been worse lodged than many of their subjects. We wish the mat ter had been taken up long ago, at a period of his present Majesty's life, when, in the course of nature, he was more likely to live to enjoy what ever the nation may do in this way. But the plan above alluded to is not, we apprehend, ex actly that (if indeed any such could be found) which will meet. with very general assent. At all events there are two things which should be well considered before any steps are taken towards its accomplishment—the one, whether the site proposed is the the most desireable which the metropolis presents—and secondly, whether there is any prospect, in the present apparently low state of the arts among us (judging at least from what we have witnessed of late years) of our seeing a Palace planned and executed in any way worthy of the-ration and its Sovereign. And first, as to the proposed site. We doubt very much whether a house in a street, as this would be, can ever amount to what the mind con jectures of a Palace ; towards which a degree of space seems requisite which cannot be found, we should think, between Pall-Mall and the Park. There are, we conceive, three situations each preferable to this ; and these are, Bucking ham House, Kensington Palace, and the Regent's Park. It is essential, we are aware, that the town Palace of the Sovereign, where Court and Councils are to be held, should be at no unreasonable distance from the Houses of Parliament, and other places of official and public resort. For this reason we should say that Buckingham House presents a site more convenient than any other. Kensington Palace, though rather farther from the above points, pre sents many attractions. And in the Regent's Park a magnificent structure might be raised, to which the New-street would form a ready and splendid access from the heart of the Metropolis. But whichever of these sites may be fixed upon, we hope that the national funds will not be in trusted to such hands as have hitherto had the direction of public buildings ; and that if a Palace is to be built worthy of our national character, its erection will riot be allowed to become a ' source of patronage or jobbing, or to devolve upon the tasteless and ignorant people who have already lavished (we believe we may say) mil- • lions of public money in erecting monuments to their own imbecility. The state of modern ar chitecture is one of the greatest scandals to the age; and we are sure that his Majesty himself would much rather continue Nv ithout a Palace than possess one of those gingerbread gewgaws which would be likely to emanate from those who have hitherto turned their hands to such matters. If this cau be remedied, it is only, we conceive, to be done by opening wide the door of taste and competition to artists of our own and other coun tries. Let plans be called for b 7 Parliament, and submitted openly to public criticism. Let rewards of sufficient magnitude be offered to tempt and call forth the higher qualities of the art. Let them extend not merely to the build ing itself, but to the groundwork and character of the whole design ; and finally, let not the choice and decision rest with a little vain, igno rant coterie, who live upon each other's flat tery ; but let public opinion and public taste, openly courted and openly obtained, adjudge a point so essential to the future splendour of the nation and its Monarch. The funds for this work, we are aware, must be considerable ; but still we think might be obtained in the way which we know would be most pleasing to his Majesty—that is, without being materially felt by the people. A great proportion of the neces sary means might be raised by disposing of one or more of the present Palaces, and by the sale of a considerable porti on o f Crown hinds. If, for instance, Carlton H ouse were abandoned as the site, that every Palace itself might be I sold towards the erection of a new one, and the materials of the late King's Palace, at Kew, which every one wishes to see removed, might be readily brought in aid of the same object.— These, however, we admit are minor considera tions. What we would most seriously impress upon all parties is this, that proper care be taken by profiting from past experience, to render the expenditure one at which neither ourselves nor posterity will have reason to repine. [MORNING CHRONICLE-] We remember when Scott's Divorce Bill came down from the Lords to the Commons, the al lowance to the lady was raised by acclamations in the House of Commons from four to six hun dred pounds a year. We will not trust our selves with describing the character of the letters of the Lady then read, but they were unique.— The late Spencer Perceval was the only Mem ber who had the manliness to reprobate the course pursued by the House as a direct en couragement to vice. We believe the husband re fused to take the divorce subject to the in creased allowance.—This'was of a piece with the English law and practice respecting Adultery and Divorce. The Bishops, in the House of Lords, consider certain texts as their rule in Divorce cases. The Law of England makes adultery only a trespass, though the Scripture makes it a heavy crime. The Pu ritans were consistent who attached to adultery the same punishment to which it is liable at this day in Scotland. There notorious adultery is a capital crime. Here it is considered a feather in the cap of a man of fashion. How consistent the conduct of the House of Commons in Scott's Bill, and the virtuous indignation against a member of a profession which has seldom been looked up to for models of the Apostolic virtues ! In the Foreign Market yesterday every thing was steady. Colombian Bonds were at 914, and Mexican at 811. Considerable business was done in the Shares of the South American Mining Companies, but those of all the Companies for the employment of capital at home were heavy. Even the Provincial Bank of Ireland Shares, which were at 5 premium buyers, fell to 2 ; but this fall was caused by the number thrown upon the market by persons who have subscribed not for the purpose of real investment ; and there cannot be a doubt that they will soon reach their fair value. It has been stated in a Morning Pa per, that Mr. Rothschild has made a contract with the Government for some Mines in %Vales, but that no arrangements towards forming a Com pany are effected. This is quite correct ; Mr. Rothschild's contract is for 31 years, and is un connected with another Welsh Mining Company now forming.—No steps will be taken towards the formation of a Company until the reports of several scientific men, who have been employed to survey the district, shall have been received. In the event of the Company being formed, the Shares will be issued without premium to the contractors.—The Shares of the new " West minster Milk Company" are out, and are barely at a premium. In Rail Road Shares there is no. thing doin4. The Shares of the New General South American Mining Company (a company for buying up mines) are at a premium of 121 per cent.—The new Mexican Mine Shares, brought out by Green and Hartley, are at 400 premium.—(lbid.) CATHOLIC RENT IN LONDON.—We do not know whether the hint we threw out a fortnight ago to Parish Officers, " to guard against the weekly allowances to out-door paupers, being fooled away in payments of Catholic Rent" has been acted upon. If it have not, the fear that it may be, seems, as will be seen from the following article, to have pretty well knocked the thing on the head. Instead of a Dublin subscrip tion for the week of 8001. or 1,0001. the London payments amount to but 11. 14s. jitl. :—At seven o'clock, last evening, the Third Meeting of the Friends of the Catholic Association in London, for promoting, what they term, the " Catholic Rent," took place in the Roman Catholic School Room, in Dean-street, Soho. At the close of which the Chairman (Mr. Virtue) an nounced that the donations and subscriptions of the evening amounted to 11. 14s. 76d. and accounted for the smallness of the sum, by the infancy of the Association in this country, the plans of the Committee not being yet quite matured, the apathy of many well-wishers to the cause, from their not being perfect ly acquainted with the objects the Meeting had in view, and flnally, the fact, that to-night, a similar Meeting was held at the Roman Catholic School in Moorfields, where many of the promoters of the Catholic Rent i n London, had to attend.— ( Courier. ) A SMUGGLER STIOT.-01) Monday and Tues day last, an Inquest was held, by adjournment, at Rockliff cross, about five miles from Carlisle, before Richard Lowry, Esq., Coroner, on view of the body (lying in an out-house there) of Charles Gillespie, of Wigton, labourer, w'no was shot on the preceding Sunday, by Edward Forster, officer of customs and excise, stationed in and about this city, under circumstances fully explained in the evidence. George Irving, of Mossband, in the parish of Kirkandrews-upon-Esk, labourer, was the first witness examined. He said, between seven and eight o'clock on Saturday night, Edward Forster, officer in the customs and excise, having made a seizure of a quantity of whisky, called upon him, in the King's name for assistance, and, in consequence, witness assisted him to carry the liquor to ltoc kliffe-cross, where they put it into a byre belonging to William Irving. After remaining there three or four hours, they went to Rockliff-marsh-end, on the look-out for smugglers, and they continued in and about that place till day-light, when they went behind a bank on the Marsh. After staying there till about ten, Forster took out a spy-glass and observed some persons coming over the water (from Scotland) in a boat, and re marked to witness that he thought they were smugglers.— They lay concealed behind the bank, until the men came up, when Foster jumped over the bank, and seized a man named Scott, who had upon him a quantity of whiskey, which Foster took ; the men were armed with sticks, but Scott did not make much resistance. The deceased dropped a quantity of whisky which he had in his possession upon the ground,on which Forster desired witness to seize him, which he did, and the de ceased inade no resistance. They then proceeded towardslrving's house. Witness was along with Scott, at a distance of be tween 40 and 50 yards before the deceased and Forster, when I Scott ran away and witness pursued ; soon after he heard a pistol fired, and in about a minute or less he heard another pistol fired; Forster called to witness, and he went to him and saw deceased lying upon the ground, supporting himself upon his right arm. Forster was about nine or ten yards from the deceased, wiping the blood from his head ; and he told witness that the deceased had almost killed him, and added that he believed he had shot him. Forster then went to Irving's house, And witness soon followed him. He there had his head tied up with a handkerchief, through which witness saw the blood gush, apparently flowing from the woun d s h e h a d received from deceased. He (lid not afterwards see the boy who was in company with the two men. Forster and witness soon went back to where the deceased was lying, and found him quite dead, and they removed him to Irving's stable. Other witnesses were examined, anti the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Edward Forster." The Coroner issued his warrant for Forster's apprehension and committal; but he has hitherto kept aloof, and will not again be seen, pro bably, till the assiaes in March, when he will most likely sur render timself.--( Carlisle Journal. ) DUEL.-A meeting took place on Saturday morning between Captain S— and Mr. N, of Acton. The former was wounded, but it is hoped not dangerously. LONDON MARLiETS. PRICE OF BREAD.
