ILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the .11;;;;A:r . Papers, Feb. 1, 1825. [THE TIMES.] The flagrant case of the Deccan prize-money has excited much attention, and we hope will rouse a great deal more, until justice shall be finally administered to the sufferers, or secured to them beyond the power of rapacity kind chicanery to unsettle it. It would appear that there are, two tlasses of booty—that which has been fully recognized as the lawful property of the troops who captured it, and that which is still a subject of contention. Why is not the former, at least, forthcoming'? Why should any but the acknow ledged dwners derive any advantage from that? If the plan be to reserve all, until all can be li berated from controversy, and paid over in mass to the brave men who have earned it, then better declare at once that no part of the most sacred debt shall be discharged until doomsday ; for until doomsday,according to the known laws and usages of office, not one farthing will be released from the purgatory where it is now impounded. The Company indeed, or some one for them, assures us, that the fault does not refit there, but with the Treasury !—(if so, Lord help the poor claim ants)—which has made a grasp at " the whole "booty captured in the wars referred to, on be " half of his Majesty." If so, we say again, good bye to the booty. But the Lords of the Treasury have a ppointed Trustees, viz., the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Arbuthnot, to manage this affair—to act in usurp jus hahentis ; that is too often, in usum possidentis—and make a distri bution when it shall please them so to do. In the mean time, the British officer and discharged soldier languishes in poverty or prison, the native troops of the India Company are disgusted, and estranged from those who reward their services with cold indifference ; and a crisis is maturing, in the course of which justice, it seems not alto gether improbable, may be fully though fearfully vindicated. NEW TIMES.] If we are to believe the accounts in the French Papers, the Greek Chiefs, in their dissensions with each other, assume respectively the designa tion of th? Russian and English parties. If such a distinction has been really assumed, it must lie quite arbitrary ; far as it is quite certain that the English Government has cautiously abstained from influencing any movements in Greece, so we are persuaded the Emperor of Russia is too sensible of his duties as a neutral Power to hale authorised any reliance on his protection. One of the charges brought against the English party by their antagonists is ludicrous enough —it is, that they borrowed money in Eng hrld when they might have got it at a cheaper rate from their own countrymen. Hear this, ye speculators in Greek Scrip ! The stock which you were selling a few weeks ago at two or three-and-twenty per cent. discount, you are accused of having lent on usurious terms ! Co tocotroni, who is complimented with the rank of Chief of the Russian Party, appears from all the accounts we have ever seen of him to be quite incompetent to any political speculation. He was originally a leader of banditti, and seems sever to have laid aside his old disposition.— Plunder and not patriotism is. his object ; he is said to have accumulated immense treasures ; and his real quarrel with the Central Government is, because they will not allow him to participate in the proceeds of the loan raised in England. [MORNING CIII:ONICLE-] It was a close holiday at the Bank and at both ECchanges yesterday, but considerable business was transacted upon the Royal Exchange. Con sols for the Account were done, in the early part of the •morning, at 93P1, although no person pretends to be in possession of information by which the depression caw be accounted for. At the close of the day they were at 9314. In the itiffereat European Securities there were few transactions, as attention is again turned to those of South America. Colombian Bonds ruse to 91, and Me.xican Bonds were at 81. The chief busi ness was in thil Alining Shares, which have all risen, hut without. any intmediate cause being as signed. • •Some of these Shares rose.to 7 or 8 per sent.---:che: new Brazil Loan was at a premium of 34 pet cent., and it is generally expected to go higher. The Bonds of the Greek Loan were firm ac . ,the list quoted prices, although a new Greek• Loan is spoken of. Attempts have already been nilde, it is said, to negociate one in Paris, bat 01( 2 ..terms offered were not so good as those - which can be obtained in this country. The firm ness of the prices is attributed to letters from Corfu,. in which it is stated that the Greek Go vernmetit has received from its secret agents at Alexandria, positive information that the Vice roy of Egypt has resoled to maintain a strict neutrality in the event of his being called and re quired by the Sultan •to undertake a fifth cam yaign against the Greeks. rinti rfsll PRESS.] Mr. Plunkett has been defeated again. Every appeal he has made to the juries of Dublin, whether against. Orangemen or Catholic, has been rejected. If he sends a bill of indictment before the Grand Juries, it is ignored ; if he brings the case at once into Court, for trial by information, the Petit.Jury refuses to convict the defendant. This prosecution was against the Dublin Star, for a of ry gross libel on the Lord Lieutenant. The trial tasted three days. No effort was left untried to ensure success, yet the result was, that the Jury was discharged by con sent without a verdict ! The Dublin Star is the organ of the Orange party ; and it was f u lly that the col umns o f t h a t proved, on the trial, paper had teemed r egularly, for some ti me past, with the most scandalous attacks on the character of Lord Wellesley. Still, we think, it is much to be doubted whether it w ou ld uot have been wiser, considering the present temper of the public mind in Ireland, to have passed the low scurrility of such a paper over with contempt. A ll the slander the Dublin Star could have published in a century could not have sal- lied the reputation of so distinguished a public man as the Marquis Wellesley. The worst in jury his Excellency has sustained consists in the degradation of his having appeared in Court to vindicate his fame against so wretched an assail ant. It seems, however, as if it were the fate of Mr. Plunkett to bring discomfiture and disgrace on every cause he undertakes to support. The history of his career, as Attorney-General of Ireland, during the last three years, is especially considering the universally-admired splendor of his talents, unparalleled in the grossness and num ber of its blunders and failures. DionsiNG POST.] There is nothing which it more behoves the enlighted friends of civil and religious liberty to keep a sharp eye on than the schemes of the Popish Clergy in every part of Europe at the present moment. The Pope himself, who—a man of pleasure in his juvenile days —now, after the example of the Grand Turk, thunders forth his anathemas against the thrilling sin of short petticoats, is at the head of the Church. lie not only hates the Church of England, but ex tends his dislike to Englishmen ; while his admi ration of the Irish Papists is such, that after a seriously talked of pilgrimage to Jerusalem, he is expected to visit Ireland. We remarked the other day that the Romish Clergy of France were eagerly seizing and turning to account the re-ac tion produced by the infidel horrors of the French Revolution. So is it too with the Clergy of the same profession in the rest of the Continent. They persuade sovereigns and governments that the above event and every crime it originated will be inces santly repeated in France and elsewhere unless the bodies as well as minds—the rights as well as consciences of the people, be placed at the mercy of Priests and Priestcraft. But in s-tting up tlds scarecrow for the Members of the Holy Alliance they keep out of sight one important fact—they carefully forget to mention that the infidelity which disgraced and polluted France at the period alluded to, principally sprung from and was matured by the naked profligacy and revolting hypocrisy of the French Popish Clergy. Their conduct turned religion into ridicule, and their mean depraved criminality set an ex ample and provided an apology for the bare faced barbarities of the revolutionary monsters. Let Princes and Cabinets bessare therefore how they let those snakes creep through their sleeves into the bosoms of States. In France they are thus insinuating themselves now. Be sides the atrocious law of sacrilege which they have got introduced, they also aim at effecting a change in the lqw of marriage, which will place some of the most important civil rights of the people completely within the tyrannical pale of the Romish Church. Such strides at power and the extinction of freedom, cannot be suffered to pass by us "as a summer cloud." It is the duty of the Mitish Public to expose and reprobate them in foreign countries—it is still more their duty to guard against the dissemination of the germs of similar evils at home. [MORNING HERALD.] At a time when attempts are making to shackle the Press in giving . to its readers even the paltry details of a Police-office, it is some consolation to see its paramount power and im portance every day exemplified, in the eager ness with w hick men of the most enlighten ed views and exalted stations resort to it as the channel through which to convey their own sentiments to the world, mid of eliciting the opinions of mankind upon all proposed mea sures of State policy. In a free Government like ours, public opinion is at once the compass and the Polar star which directs the vessel of the State through all the perils and intricacies of her voyage. That directing influence which was formerly acquired through the means of clubs and coteries, is now obtained through a more ex tensive and accurate medium ; and when a States man would learn how a question of doubtful policy is to be received, adopted, or acted upon, he throws down the gauntlet to the public Press, which in the various shapes of Quarterly, Monthly, Weekly, and Daily Journals, soon elicits the', opinion of the .world, both at home and _abroad, upon any question of foreign or domestic interest. Of this nature is the question which has just been raised as to . the alleged intention of submitting to' Parliament at its meeting a considerable augmen tation to the army. Some of our contemporaries have, we think taken rather toomitch alarm upon this oc casion.. \Ve fear it is much too late to argue the abstract question of the propriety of keeping up a standing army in time of peace. " Things change their titles as our manners turn ;" and highly as we appreciate the sentiments and feel ings of our ancestors upon this subject, it is im possible to contend 'that the same measure can be applicable to a State•possessing the territory, the commerce, and dominion which now belong to us, which might have been applicable when our situ ation and intercourse with the rest of the world were more narrowed and confined. The differ ence is almost as great as between man in a state of nature and of ci7ilization. Of true li berty we are as warm advocates as any of our contemporaries can he ; but we cannot consent that practical freedom and national dominion shall he endangered or frittered away by a too rigid adherence to theological views or Utopian maxims. We should oppose- the increase of force as warmly as any of them, if we could see in it any indication of a warlike spirit in the Go verment; but experience teaches us that the 'maintenance of an adequate force is quite as likely to maintain peace as provoke hosti lity. The real question is, can our present force (of about eighty thousand men) he held suffi cient to guard Great Britain, Ireland, the East and \Vest Indies, Canada, the Cape of Good flop., our African Settlements, New South Wales, and our various other Colonial Set tlements ? Without adverting to the particular situation of any of these, we think that the amount of their population alone (amounting probably to not less than 150 millions of souls) is a sufficient answer. To talk of having the same kind of Peace Establishment now that we h a d in the roign of Kin William is ridiculous. — On the contrary, we may think ourselves fortu nate that our army has not increased in propor tion to our extended population. So far, therefore, from censuring the Government, or looking with a jealous eye to the proposed augmentation of the forces, we look upon it as a measure both o sound policy and of unavoidable necessity. Now that we are recovered from depressions of every kind, it is time to look to future safety and to present defence. And as we trust this measure, owing to the flourishing state of our finances can be brought about not only without adding to the public burdens, but without interrupting their expected reduction, we hail it as a proof of the wisdom and foresight of Government, and as one which every man who regards the safety and in dependence of our extensive empire, both at home and abroad, will at once see the necessity of and heartily join in approving. ETIIE PUBLIC LEDGER.] It is reported that the Speech will contain the usual assurances of the friendly disposition of Foreign Powers towards this country : and that the part which refers to South America, whilst it will be as explicit as its importance requires, will carefully avoid every allusion by which political animosity could be excited, or a collision of loin. ciple provoked. The question is to be presented in the point of view alone to which no objection can be fairly raised, we mean the great and grow ing value of our trade with the new States ; whilst the solidity of the States we have re cognized will be referred to, to spew that the act does not invalidate any practical rights of Spain. We give these rumours without pledg ing ourselves for their accuracy, merely assuring our Readers that they are derived from a source of high respectability. In the meantime, the country has probably a good pledge of the libe rality of his Majesty's Government upon this and every other great question of state policy, in the names of those who are to move the Addresses in both Houses, both of them belonging to the party belonging to Mr. Canning, and following the views and principles of this eminent Statesman. From the selection of Lord Dudley and Ward in the Upper House, and of Earl Gower in the Commons, it is clear that the Ministerial mea sures of the Session will be marked by uni form respect for sound and enlarged principles, and that there is consequently no truth in the rumour that it is intended to pass some harsh pro ceeding with respect to Ireland. That country is admitted to be more tranquil at this moment, than she has been for a great number of years; and, whilst she continues in this state, to propose coercive measures would be a perfect anomaly in legislation, and a monstrous innovation in the practice of Government. When a marked return to turbulence and outrage takes place, it will be time enough to sharpen the spirit and execu tion of the laws ; but to meet the peaceable habits of that people with distrust and newv penal enactments, would be as much as to say to them, " we (10 not want you to be quiet, as it would compel us 'to make many alterations which would be inconvenient at this. moment. We should have no excuse, for example, to maintain the present military esta blishment, whereas we want a pretext for aug menting it, w hich your turbulence would fur nish." This is the only fair interpretation that could be put upon the adoption of means of increased rigour at this season of unaccus tomed repose; and it is unnecessary for us to add, that no Member of the Cabinet, who values consistency, or the applause of the moral part of the Public %vitt expose his conduct to an imputation of this kind. We have heard another rumour, which though it would not, in our opinion, wholly justify a con siderable increase in the numerical strength of the army, would constitute the best excuse for it that has been yet offered, provided always that the report be true. It is confidently stated in a letter from Paris, that the question is to be for mally put to M. de Villele in one of the Cham bers, whether he acquiesces or not in the re solution adopted by the English Government with respect to South America. The letter goes on to say, that this interrogatory is a manoeuvre of the Minister, in order to ex plain his own views and those of the French Court on the subject. In conclusion, it is stated, that Villele means to reply by denying, in the most pointed manner, his concurrence in the measure; and if this theatrical exhibition has been really got up by the French Ministry, it would be clearly the solemn duty of our Govern ment take prompt and efficacious means of counter action. We find it hard to believe that the French Minister is prepared to employ this decided language, and particularly in so ostentatious a manner ; but, as it is stated that this exhibition was fixed for Monday (yesterday) the truth or falsehood of the report will be soon ascertained. In the mean time, the reserve hick the French Government has hitherto affected on this subject, is rather of a suspicious cha racter ; for, if it concurred with ours, it would probably lose no time in avowing its sentiments, In order to mark its regard, in the first place, for a friendly Power, and, in the next, to put an end to all uncertainty on a ques tion of such importance. As long as any doubts remain, the financial projects of that Government will be placed in jeopardy ; and, as it would t dissipate them at once, if it thought proper, its silence, seeing the inconvenience it is attended with, certainly seems to imply much more of ill %%ill than of hearty concurrence. Should the French Government confine itself to the mere ex pression of its discontent, it would only injure its own suljr.cts by contributing to exclude them front the benefits of a trade with the New States : but if it were, contrary to all probability, to assume a hostile attitude, it would concern its own safety much more than ours, besides leading to the ex pulsion make room fo theulsionof Bourbons the erb l nt ons from the throne of Spain, the House of Braganza of th e es so vereignty tahlisten o t v i r i of the Peninsula. The latter %sould be an event of such vast importance to this country, that it Would not be too dearly purchased even at the eapence of a war, where, as in this case, it would probably be decided within the year. REPRESENTATION OF CORNWALL. On Wednesday last a Meeting of the Free holders of Cornwall was held at Bodmin, in order to put into nomination a Gentleman to represent the County in Parliament, in the room of the late Sir William Lemon. The day was very unfavourable, but the feeling excited among the Yeo manry was so great, that long before twelve o'clock, the time appointed for the :fleeting, the space opposite the entrance of the County Hall was occupied by a dense crowd, so that at length the great pressure became very severe. About twelve o'clock the High Sheriff and some other Gentlemen entered the Hall, when the doors were thrown open. The rush was so great, that every part of the Hall was in stantly occupied. Sir Richard Vyvyan and his friends took their place to the right of the Sheriff; Mr. Pendarves and his friends on the left. The HIGH-SHERIFF having read the Requisition— The Right Hon. RIGINALD POLE CAREW proposed Sir Richard Vyvyan as a proper person to represent the County in Parliament, and was seconded by the Rev. Canon Rogers. Sir R. VYVYAN said he came forward on principles completely independent ; he was influenced by no party feeling, and if sent into Parliament, he would enter it completely unshackled, and without being blindly attached to any set of men. He was fully sensible of the value of that prosperity to which the coun try had happily attained; but he could not attribute this state of things wholly to the recent measures of Government—the prosperity we now enjoyed was founded on the measures that had been pursued for the last 20 years, and those measures had his most cordial approval. 3linisters were said to be acting on principles of liberal commercial policy ; but if he was returned to Parliament, before he could pledge himself to support that system, it remained to be seen whether it was calculated to pro mote the interests of the country. With regard to his religious principles, whilst he allowed to every man the right of worship ping his Creator according to the dictates of his conscience, he was attached to the Constitution in Church and State, as our ancestors had formed it. JOHN PENHALLOW PETERS, Esq. wished to know why he was to be preferred to Mr. Pendarves, who was folly his equal in respectability and in talent ? who was vastly his superior in experience, as an active an intelligent Magistrate ; and as a public-spirited Gentleman, the supporter of every institution, whether of local or general interest. Mr. SNELL said he felt himself called on to second the pro- . position of Mr. Peters. Mr. PENDARVES felt that it was impossible for him to ac cede to the wishes of the independent Yeomanry on the present occasion, after the declaration which appeared, announcing the intention of his friends not to propose him at the present Elec tion.—(Loud cheers.) ABRAHAM HASIBLY, Esq. said that there was only one mode by which the matter might be settled, without embarrass ment to either party. Let him absolve Mr. Pendarves from his pledge, and thereby, without involving Mr. Tremayne in the contest, the sense of the county would be ascertained. Let him do this, and Mr. Pendarves would meet him at the poll to-mor row.—( Loud cheers.) J. PETERS, Esq. called on Sir R. Vyvyan to release Mr. Pendarves from his pledge, and try the sense of the county.. Sir R. VYVVAN declined acceding to the roposition. _ p Mr. PETERS said he was pledged to the Yeomanry to To to the poll, and they only could absolve him—(Cries of " To the poll," from different parts of the Hall).—Mr. Peters said, then to the poll we will go—(Cheers)—and if Mr. Pendarves accepts the Chiltern Hundreds we will elect him again ; and if he does not choose to take his seat, there are gentlemen of family and fortune who will. The question will be tried again and again until we return a Member in the room of Sir W. Lemon. —( Loud cheering.) A show of hands was now called for. The HIGH SHERIFF requested that none but freeholders should hold up their hands. He desired that those who were in favour of Mr. Pendarves should first hold up their hands, and that the friends of Sir R. Vyvyan should then hold up theirs. —This being done, the High Sheriff said, that as both parties were determined to go to the poll, it was unnecessary fir him then to pronounce any decision. 'Sir RICHARD VYVYAN came forward and said, that the declaration of his honourable opponent was exceedingly cre ditable to, him ; he had declared that he would abide by his pledge ; and after that declaration, could those who were his true friends press him to come forward ? The HIGIT SHERIFF then stated, that he should proceed to the election the next morning at ten o'clock, at Lostwithiel. Mr. PENHARVES moved the thanks of the Meeting to the High Sheriff', for his conduct in the chair; which being se conded by Sir R. Vyvyan, was carried unanimously, and the Meeting was dissolved. A number of gentlemen dined with the High Sheriff, at the Hotel, and a large party of the friends of Mr. Pendarves dined together in another room. That gentleman was at the head of one table, and Mr. A. Hambly at that of another. After the cloth was drawn, the Chairman gave " The King," which was drank with the usual marks of respect. lie then rose, and in the most forcible terms endeavoured to impress on his friends the propriety of acceding to his wishes, by abstaining from going to poll the next day. 'These arguments were at length successful, and the gentlemen who proposed and seconded the nomination of Mr. Pendarves, proceeded to the Sheriff's room, where they announced to him and Sir Richard Vyvyan, that at the earnest entreaty of Mr. Pendarves, his friends had abandoned their intention of going to the poll the next day. On Thursday, at Lostwithiel, the High Sheriff proceeded to the election, when the Right Hon. R. P. Carew, and the Rev. Canon Rogeri again proposed, and seconded Sir R. Vyvyan, and there being no opposition, the Hon. Baronet was declared to be duly elected. Sir Richard briefly returned thanks. CORONERS' INQUESTS. DESPERATE SUICIDE OF' AIR. JOHN BROWNE, MATE OF THE WATERLOO EAST INDIAMAN. Ait Inquest was held' at the - Tow u-lull, in Gravesend, before SAMUEL Mays: Esq., .the Mayor of that town, and Coroner, and a respectable Jury, touching the death of John Browne, Esc., the second officer on board the lion. East India Company s ship Waterloo,. lying at Gravesend : It appeared that the deceased, who was only twenty-six years of age, had been in the East . ..lndia Company's ser vice from, an early age, and - from his assiduity as an officer, and his demeanour as a Gentleman, had gained the esteem of all the officers and men on board, as well as that of the East India Company, who had it in contemplation, after the completion of his next voyage, to give him the com mand of one of their vessels. About five years ago he formed an acquaintance with a young lady of' rather humble origin, but considerable personal attractions, which continued up to the committal of the fatal deed.. By this correspondence he ?rad incurred the displeasure of his friends, who endeavoured by all means in their power to dissuade him from the connec tion, but all their efforts proved ineffectual. About five weeks since the Waterloo arrived at Northfleet, and imme diately after the deceased proceeded in a post-chaise to Lon don, to the residence of the object of his affections, and re mained with her till Sunday se'nnight, when it was well known that the Captain would on the Monday join the vessel to pro ceed on the outward-voyage, and it was necessary that all the ship's company should be mustered in his presence, and a report thereof orwarded to the India House. About mid-day on Sunday the deceased arrived in a post-chaise and four, with the lady above alluded to and her sister, from London, at the East India Arms, Northfleet. In the course of the journey thither the deceased fired a pistol ball through the chaisa window, which was demolished, and threw the ladies into the greatest alarm, yet they did not attribute this act to any aberration of mind, as lie told them not to alarm themselves, • The deceased and the ladies remained at, the Inn that night, and about ten o'clock on the following morning, he took his leave of the females, who pro ceeded back to London by post. The parting was very affecting, and the deceased shed tears. He then jumped into a boat belonging to a waterman named Jones, and de sired him to row him to the Waterloo, that had dropped down the day before to Gravesand. On reaching the vessel within 100 rads, the waterman asked bins whether he would like to go up the starboard side; the deceased answered he should; and at the moment the sculler turned his head, he placed a pocket pistol to his head, and the ball entered just above his right temple, and lodged in the cavity of the brain : in a m oment h e was a ifeless corpse. Mr. Holliday, surgeon of the Waterloo, instantly attended him, as also did Dr. Park, of Gravesend, but of course could render no assistance, and lie was removed to Mr. Johnson, the undertaker's. The deceased attempted his life twice before ; once by shooting himself, and the other by taking a quantity of laudanum. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of " Insanity."—The body of the deceased was interred on Saturday in Milton church-yard. It was fol lowed by his brother, who is an East India merchant, and four midshipmen belonging to the Scalesby Castle. SHOCKING CASE OF BURNlNG.—Yesterday evening an In quest was held at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, before T. SHEL TON, Esq. on the body of Ellen Carroll.—Elizabeth Gilbody deposed, that she resides in George-court, 01d-street-road. The deceased lodged at her house for the last two months. Last Tuesday week the deceased, who goes out chafing for her live lihood, went to a house in Brunswick-square, and returned about six o'clock in the evening. Witness opened the door for her, when she was horror-struck at the spectacle the deceased presented, her clothes being literally burnt off her back. Wit ness was informed by the, deceased, that she had fallen into the fire whilst endeavouring to put a large saucepan thereon.— Verdict—" Accidental Death," A G 110 ST.-At a farm in the parish of Red" nail, and near the town, there is a dwellin g -ho use w hi c h has long been reported to be haunted. Several tenants who inha bited it in succession, abandoned it after a short residence , alleging that their slumbers were so much disturbed by the nocturnal transactions of their ghostly visitants, as to ren t - - der their removal necess ar y. H owever , as t h e ta l es w hicl they circulated were •in genera l discredited, a new tenall witx speedily procured as the vacancies followed in succession . Some time in the month of June, 181 G, the good woman of house intimated to her husband that on the falling of anY heavy substance on the kitchen floor, it produced a WW I • sound. On hearing this he resolved to search into the cause of s° extraordinary a circumstance ; and having dug up the floor, be discovered, at some depth below the surf a ce, two large fl at stones, covering a kind of vault, apparently filled with cinders' Having removed these, lie found some black mould, internii%. ed with teeth and fragments of human bones. These were car e : fully preserved, and being submitted to the insp ec tion or surgeon in the neighbourhood, he concluded they were the frag-: ments of some full-grown person. Nothing has transpired tha . ' can tend to unravel this mysterious deposit. The house was age • forsaken by its inhabitants, and we know not whether it be ye t tenanted. It is singular that the under surface of the s:ones which covered the vault, had all.the appearance of having- bee! exposed to the action of fire. On this phenomenon, if sof t , it may be termed, but one opinion can be entertain e d, so P" as the human remains will furnish evidence, and probable coi l ' jecture may be allowed to speak. It seems to have bee; the body of same person that had been murdered and reduee' to ashes, to conceal the fact. But by whom the act was perP e l i trated, with what circumstances it was attended, in what cg° was committed, we must be content to leave unknown until th e earth and sea shall give up their dead.—( Plymouth Journal.) The sharp frost on Tuesday night and Brett' nesday morning produced in the suburbs of London ice of til i er , enormous thickness of about one-third of an inch ; b u t such was its rarity and value, that carts were seen hurrying in everi e direction, to skim the ice from the surface of the ponds. Tiler was not a ditch or a horse-pond, from Kensington to Hamme r; smith, Brentford, Acton, &c., but was visit e d w ith as muc h earnestness as divers mining and other share-holder s will Ip , and by look after both principal and interest. • BIRTH. • Yesterday, at Hampstead, the lady of Edward Tolle:, juP'' Esq., of a son.
