THE LONDON JOURNAI.I. DAILY_ Extracts from the Mornzag, Papers, July 19,1825. THE T I KES.] - _ Intelligence from Calcutta arrived in the course of yesterday, detailing the military movements which had taken place, and developing the pro posed enterprizes of the British forces along the whole hostile frontier from North to South. In Assam, a recent conquest of the Burmese, Co-' lone! Richards has got possession, after some smart fighting, of the fort of Rungpoor, which '1 commands the capital of the country Ghurgong, upon the Dhekur. This conquest is held by the British Commander to be of great importance, as it passes for the key of the whole country of Assam, and covers the northern flank of the Bur- 1 mese dominions. It is likewise conjectured that the Assamese, who have groaned under the bloody tyranny of the Bormans, will be eager to throw off the yoke, to place themselves under the Com pany's protection. The next point of attack is Cachar, the contiguous province to Assam, and immediately to the southward, where Briga dier-General Shuldham struggles with con siderable difficulties in undertakidg a march upon Munnipore, the capital, lying north by west of Ammarapoora about WO miles. The route of Brigadier-General Shuldham is described, or con. jectured rather, to be obstructed by jungles and other natural defences, of a nature almost imprac ticable, while it is said, on the other hand, that the pioneers of his division have pushed their way to within twenty-four miles of Munni pore. The attack upon the maritime province of Aracan was likely to be impeded for want of draught and provision bullocks ; and thus a de lay to be produced about the centre of the Bri tish chain of operations. The Peguese, long the regular enemy of Ava, and more recently its un willing subjects, have discovered a strong ten dency to profit by the present opportunity, and with the assistance of the British arms, to shake themselves free from their oppressors.— The Siamese, who have a common feeling of hatred to the Burmans, and of dependence on England, are likewise deserting the King of Ava, and esta blishing a friendly concert with our officers. A disorganization of the Burmese dominion towards the south is therefore talked of as an event to be hoped for, if no new calamity should befal the arms of the Company—an occurrence the less, we trust, to be apprehended, from the increased knowledge obtained by our troops of the charac ter of Burman warfare, and of the declining spirit and judgment with which the enemy ap pears to act. From Rangoon an expedition is preparing to advance along the Irrawaddy, under the command of Sir A. Campbell, and with the hope, as stated, of combining his movements with those on the side of Cheduba ; but from the great extent of the line to be traversed, and the unknown difficulties which may intersect it, a com bined attempt in that quarter must be of a de scription the most uncertain and hazardous. The inhabitants, it is said, are returning to Ran goon, which, from the promptitude and integrity of our payments for provisions, is represented as being once more abundantly supplied. Upon the whole it may be understood from the present in telligence, that our general prospects of success in this barbarian conflict are better than we should hitherto have been justified in considering them, but at the game time it is very clear that a plan of invasion so broken up and multifarious; re quiring a separation of every corps engaged in it from every other, to such a distance as to annihi late all chance of reciprocal support, must have been founded on a clear assurance that the enemy whom we had to encounter was ignorant of the first principles of military knowledge and power, and utterly incapable of employing the most obvious expedient, that of a concentration of force, for the overthrow of a system of attack the most exposeci of all others to disaster, and the most gravely condemned as a system, by all wri ters on the art of war. [MOLINING POCT.3 Some of our preceding columns are occupied with official dispatches from India, containing intelligence of an important and highly gratify ing character. After a series of sharp actions on the 27th and 28th of January, the fortress of Rungpore, the capital of Assam, surrendered by capitulation to the force under the immediate command of Colonel Richards—an event to which great importance is naturally attached.— The weaker nations of the Golden Peninsula having long endured with impatience the yoke of the Burrnans, are now anxious to become our allies, knowing, as they do, that our friendship will be their best protection against the intolera ble tyranny of the King of Ava. The hostility of the Assamese is now reasonably considered as at an end ; besides which we have the satisfac tion to be informed that the Siamese had an pounced their determination to join the British as their allies in their attack upon the Bur mese. For this purpose, 5,000 of Siamese troops were understood to be already in a state of preparation to join our army, full ofl ardour to engage in the common cause against the hated foe. The severe tyranny exercised over the nations successively conquered by the Bur these, has been such as to excite the strongest aversion against them ; and of this advantageous feeling our Indian Government will not fail promptly ,and fully to avail itself. Whatever might be the difficulties of advancing through a country preienting such numerous formidable ob stacles, the disunion that prevails throughout the Burmese territory will ensure success to the in vading forces. Were it not for his Allies, Cortez might never have reached Mexico ; and Openparallei to a certain exteht may hold good in the present instance, though with this differ ence, that the natives of the further Peninsula will not have to dread the cruel fate of the South Amerfca i ris under their Spanish conquerors. The advance of the troops from Rangoon was fixed for the Isth 'of February. A small body was tostiovel.ll advance, in 'the confident expec tation of tming joiner'. by 'the Pecuers, whd had already deserted the - standard of Ava in great &umbers; and altionsiderable number of boats had been dispatched to convey them to Rangoon. Brigadier-General M'Creagh, who had arrived at Rangoon, was to take the command on Sir Ar chibald Campbell's advancing. The inhabitants of Rangoon were returning in great numbers to their habitations, from which they had fled on the capture of the place.—The possession of Rungpoor, the ancient capital of Assam, brings the British within eighty miles, as it is sup posed, of the Upper stream of the Irrawaddy.' The geography of the country is, however, so imperfectly shown, that no certain dependence can be placed on relative positions. The dis tance from Rungpoor to • Ummerapoora, is com puted at 500 miles, but the route that will be taken is uncertain. We have also a variety of intelligence from other parts of the seat of war ; but it is of a less decisive character. On the side of Cachar the troops under Brigadier Shuldham continue slowly to advance towards Munnipoor ; but with the number of pioneers actually employed, the labour of clearing a road through the forests and jungles was of course a task of difficulty. The troops seem to be entirely in the dark as to the nature of the country in advance of them. That in which they now are seems to unite every thing that is difficult and disagreeable. The force under Bri gadier-General Morrison was advancing upon Arracan, and was expected to have reached it on the 13th or 14th February. The Calcutta Paper of Feb. 19, states, that Loadhong (" the key of Arracan") had fallen into the hands of General Morrison, without firing a shot. This post is dis tant from Arracan about thirty miles. From Arracan there are three roads through the moun tains to the Irrawaddy, to which it is the inten tion of General Morrison to penetrate. It is not expected that he will effect a junction with the force from Rangoon, but that he will approach sufficiently near to be supported by it. The junc tion between the two armies is intended to be effected at Prome. The movement up the river from Rangoon will be under the command of Brigadier-General Cotton. The land forces will march under the guidance of Mr. Gibson, who was in possession of good information of the route from the Burmese. The Bundoola and Prince Sarawaddy were understood to have con centrated their forces on the bank of the river, but at what precise point was not stated. On the whole, the intelligence is of a very gratifying and encouraging description. Notwithstanding the difficulties of advancing in a country, respect. ing which there is an acknowledged great want of military information, the Burmese will be in capable of offering any effectual resistance to the invading army ; and the next dispatches from Sir Alexander Campbell, will probably inform us of the termination of the contest in a manner no less glorious to our arms, than advantageous to our interests in that important quarter. THE PUBLIC LEDGEIt.j We have received a tile of Calcutta papers to the 4th of March, and we are happy to say that they contain very gratifying intelligence of the progress of our arms against the Burmese. Rung pore, the capital of Assam, capitulated to the division under the orders of Lieutenant-Colo nel Richards, on the 29th of January ; and as native troops were alone employed, this circum stance serves to enhance the value of the achieve ment, as it shews that they are as hearty in the quarrel, as they were before lukewarm.— I f any anxiety prevailed before as to the issue of the war, it must now cease ; for division alone in our army could give the enemy any chance of escaping the baits which his presump tion had prepared for him. Though we com plained, in common with others, of the tardy manner in which the war was conducted at first, it is but justice to say that all our previous wars in India presented at the commencement the same appearances, which can only be accounted for by the vast extent of our empire, and the consequent dispersion of our troops, which ren der it a work of time to bring them to act in considerable numbers at any one point. As we have now a force employed against the Bur mese fully equal to the exigencies of the war, we may confidently expect that its fu ture operations will be distinguished by that characteristic energy and brilliant success, by which our arms were marked on every former occasion. The Burman Empire, according to all probability, is at the threshold of an overwhelm ing calamity, Unless it be averted by the clemen cy, or, more correctly speaking, the policy, of the invaders. The States that have been forcibly incor porated with it, are said to be anxious to recover their independence, and to expect only the ap proach of our troops to carry their desires into execution. flow far it may be prudent on our part to encourage this disposition, is a question upon which we are incompetent to decide. If they declare themselves independent at our sug gestion, we must support them, and cannot con clude any Treaty without stipulating for their independance. To such as consider our Empire as already overgrown, this would be an insur mountable objection ; but is it not one of the consequences of our power that it should con tinually extend itself? whilst it is very problema tical whether this principle of continued exten sion detracts from its solidity. [BRITISH PRESS.] The French Papers which arrived last night are occupied chiefly with news relating to Greece. The successes of the Patriots by sea are confirmed beyond all doubt. % e alluded yesterday to the plan of the Austrian and Rus sian Cabinets for the erection of a Greek Mo narchy in favour of Prince Gustavus. the son of the deposed King of Sweden. This statement is rendered more probable by a recent military appointment conferred on the Prince by the Em peror of Austria. The Consitutionnel refers to the contradictory articles in the Ministerial Jour nals, as a proof that the French Cabinet is not agreed as to the recognition of the independence of St. Domingo. The Journal de Paris represents the negociations to he far advanced, and ever) on the point of being concluded, while the Etoile states that no such treaty is possible. It appears by a letter hi the Contitutionnel, from Poo-au-Prince,, that a strange attempt has been made to induce. the President of Hayti to enter into communica tion with an unauthori,ed agent of the French Government. This person was an Englishman, named Archibald. He landed from a French vessel at Port-au-Prince in the uniform of an English naval officer, with letters from M.Rothes child, of Paris, to the Correspondent of a mer cantile house at Havre. The day after his arrival Mr. Archibald solicited a private audience of the President, who required to know whether he had brought dispatches fro'm any European Govern ment. Mr. Archibald admitted that he had not, and the audience was therefore refused. Surely the French Government ill consults its qwn dig nity by adopting such proceedings as these.— The Priests in France are reviving every absur dity of the darkest days of superstition. The Duchess of Berry has given her consent to be god mother to a church bell at Rouen, and the King, to testify his sense of the honour, has ordered 6,000 francs to be expended on the occasion ! When the Duke of Northumberland left Paris he deposited 6,000 francs with the Grand Almoner, to be distributed among the poor of the French capital. The Bishop of Hermopolis has sent the money to the Cures, in order that it may by them be applied to the purposes for which it was intended. [NEW TIMES.] The acting County Magistrates in England and Wales amount (by the Population Returns of 1821) to 4,430. They are all persons of educa tion and property, and many of them men of family and distinction. Whoever has impartially studied the internal government of the country, must be aware, that to the Magistracy we are indebted for almost all that is valuable and use ful in the administration of our domestic policy : and common sense tells us, that if 4,430 indi viduals, occupying so important a station in society, were corrupt or inhuman, tyrannical or imbecile, there could be little hope of the other classes of the community. Notwithstand ing this, the Morning Chronicle delights in libelling the whole of this useful and honour able body of men in a mass. We are told in that Paper, that our Justices of the Peace " iiave been brought up in a savage disregard of the lower orders;" that they are cruel, just as the New Zealanders eat Missionaries, because they know no better ;" and that they are the " most untoward part of God's creation." To what purpose this outrageously false and wicked slander is employed—why the Morning Chronicle should thus outrage common decency and common experience —we cannot conceive ; but this we do know, that if the effect produced on the minds of the lower classes be at all correspondent to the malignity of the effort employed, it will be most fatal to the peace and happiness of the coun try. The Press, whose duty it is to instruct and enlighten public opinion, disgraces itself by those gross perversions of truth. It is not true, that our Justices of the Peace are cruel, or that they entertain a savage disregard, or any disre gard, of the lower orders. Out of 4,430 indivi duals, there may possibly be some whose humanity may not always be sufficiently awake, or whose judgment may be occasionally obscured. We contend not for infallibility in human nature. But take these few and rare lapses from duty, and make the most of them :" weigh them against the vast mass of liberality, kindness, and good sense, that is ever awake, ever vigilant for the maintenance of good order and justice; and , we hesitate not to say, that, upon the whole, the Magistracy of England deserve the gratitude, and affection, and veneration, of their country men. SVoe he to the nation, if those sentiments ever come to be obliterated by means of such misrepresentations and calumnies as those to which we have felt it our duty to advert. [SIORNING CHRONICLE.] There was much bustle in the Consol Market yesterday morning. Consols for Account opened at 91-ht, fell to 914, and closed at the opening price, with a more steady appearance. The quo tation for the August Account was higher than for the present time.—ln the Foreign Market there was little business doing, and when sales are forced the prices are still at a further reduc tion, particularly in South American Stocks ; Colombian Bonds about 85, ex. dividend ; Chile Stock 79 ; Mexican Scrip 21-1- dis. ; Greek Stock remained heavy at 121 and 12 discount. Spanish Bonds 9.21-1. The report respecting the re newal of negociations for a loan continues.— The eminent jobber we alluded to proceeds to Paris this week, but whether for the purpo s e of making an offer to the absolute King, or not, we cannot say. All other Foreign Stocks were heavy, but without much alteration in the prices. The French 3 per Cents. have attracted very little attention in the London Market ; but as the time approaches when the holders must give in their final determination, we have no doubt there will be much fluctuation. The time is the sth August at Paris, and London 2d August. There continues to be much jobbing in the small Shares, which appear to undergo great changes; among the principal are the Dye Company, Plate Glass, the. Steamboats, a Consolidated Tin and Copper Company, &c. &c. The Mexican and other Mining Companies are, for the present, neglected, and report speaks of two new Companies about to start—the Hayti Mining Company, and , the Irish Cotton Manufacturing Association. [MORNING ncnit.r.D.] A Return has been made and printed of the number Of private madhouses and of their unfor tunate inmates within the bills of mortality and the county of Middlesex, and we are glad to hear that at the last Middlesex Sessions, similar Re turns have been called for from all the parishes, preparatory to a motion for the erection of a Lunatic Asylum for the county, in which it is to be hoped that more will be done towards the re covery and comfort of the wretched objects of this ,lowest state of human suffering that can possibly exist in the crowded receptacles to which most of them are at present con signed. From these returns, it appears that the number of these houses is rather more than forty, and that the number of patients fluctuates front about 1,500 to 1,700; of these 850, or about one half, are confined in' six houses belonging to one person at Bethnal green : and are for the most part, we suppose, parish paupers, farmed at the rate of about ten shillings a week. Lord Robert Seymour (whose attention to this subject reflects equal honour on his rank and his humanity), in a printed let ter addressed to the Magistrates of Middlesex, says, that " he saw in one house at Bethnal-green, 352 paupers, 192 private patients, and 53 at tendants, makng in all 544 persons. Amongst them were the pauper lunatics of Mary-fa-bonne, St. George's, Hanover-square, and St. Anne, Soho. Each of the dormitories, which are very low rooms, contains from sixteen to twenty beds ; and on the female side many of the paupers lie two in a bed, the bedsteads being eighteen inches from each other; and the ex ercising yards of the paupers being more crowded than ever yet was a dog kennel." " Yet," adds his Lordship, " I found, upon inquiry, that if twenty additional patients were sent' to them to-morrow for admission, they would be taken in." His Lordship, who, it appears, is also a Governor of Bethlehem Hospi tal, states in the same letter the following facts, confirmatory of what may be expected from a different kind of accommodation—viz. that in 1823, of 173 patients, 76 were discharged as cured ; and in 1824,64 out of 163. That this was effected chiefly by moral means, with very little personal restraint ; occupation, amusements, and principally by the size of the airing grounds, being such as to admit of bodily exer cise and mental tranquillity. While the Magis trates and the Vestries are jobbing to the right and to the left, we wonder that it has not oc curred to some of them to take up this subject in that, their favourite, point of view. Were there no sons, or nephews, or cousins, to whom the very building of a Lunatic Asylum would have fur nished a good birth—to say nothing of the super intendants, &c. attached to it ? But to be serious, what can be said of that state of society and of public feeling which prefers crime to misfortune, and profligacy to misery ? For while gaols are visited and refined upon by societies, both male and female, till to become an inmate of some of them is almost a matter of pre ference to a labouring or destitute man, the same people can calmly look on, and see the wretched, helpless lunatic consigned to a state of suffering unequalled by any thing imagination can devise. And while we hear of societies to abolish slavery abroad, the same humane and pious people can behold their fellow-creatures, and their countrymen, suffering all the tortures of agonized and perverted reason, in places more crowded than a dog-kennel! If such humanity be not humbug and hypocrisy in their greatest shape, we know not what it is; and we trust that in the county of Middlesex there are , at least some persons to be found to rescue a Christian metropolis from any thing so degrading to real humanity as these details unfortunately furnish. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 18. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE SKINNERS' COMPANY. His Lordship gave judgment in this case. The Court had previously decided in favour of its jurisdiction in the matter. The parties having agreed as to the scheme, which was handed up to his Lordship, it was ordered to be adopted, with the ap probation of the College of All Souls, Oxon, a member of which is to be the visitor. Upon the subject of assistants, one was to be added for every 40 boys. IN RE ELEPHANT AND CASTLE CHARITY. His Lordship spoke at some length upon this case. The only point which he decided was the following—namely, that it would not be proper to withdraw the annuities from the pre sent annuitants. No more, however, should be appointed, as the measure seemed to the Court to be inconsistent with the object of the donor. Whether the Court could deal with the matter on petition was a question reserved for argument and dcision on Wednesday. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 18. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE BISHOP OF LLANDAFF AND OTHERS. Mr. BAYLY moved, on behalf of the Bishops of Llandaff and Peterborough and the Lord Mayor, the trustees of the cha rity in this case, for an order permitting them to pass their ac counts. The charity consisted of certain lands devised by Lord Craven, in the reign of Charles 1., in trust for the purpose of educating ace tain number of students at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge ; the residue to be applied to the ran som of British subjects from Algerine slavery. In consequence of the treaty entered into in the year 1815 between this country and the Government of Algiers, in which it was stipulated that British subjects should no longer be detained by that power, it had been suggested that the reservation of the funds, of which there was now a large accumulation, for the original purposes of the charity, would be illegal. Without, however, entering into that question at present, the Learned Counsel now merely requested that his Honour would grant an order in the usual terms, that the students might receive their stipends. Mr. GARRATT, on the other side, consented to the order, which was granted accordingly. STAFFORD SESSIONS. CASE OF SHOCKING BARBARITY. A prosecution having been commenced at the instance of William Sneyd, Esq., and Thomas S. kinnersley, Esq., Ma gistrates of this county, against Mrs. Mary Linter, dress maker, or Ultoxeter, for ill-treating an apprentice girl, the case was heard at these sessions. Martha Palmer, between 12 and 13 . years of age, was placed in the witness-box, and detailed a series of the dreadful cruel. ties of her mistress. She stated that she was bound appren tice to Mrs. Limer about two years ago by the parish ; that about ten months since her mistress ordered her to go up stairs and pull her clothes off ; she soon followed her s elf, an d h av i ng first tied the girl's hands behind. her, she beat h er i n t h e most brutal manner with a toasting-fork ; and not h av i ng sat i s fi e d her cruel disposition with that, she ran the prongs of the fork into her arm. On another occasien, this inhuman creature hit the little girl such a violent blow with an iron poker, that the poker broke, and the bone of the poor child's stays also broke. On a third occasion, the poor girl was order e d up sta i rs , an d followed by her mistress, who, after locking the door and order ing her to strip naked, beat her with a rope five doubles and knotted at one end, incessantly for three quarters of an hour ! Two respectable females, the Overseer of Sudbury, and a surgeon, four individuals who had examined the, girl's body after the last beating, confirmed her account by stating that it was in a dreadfully bruised state ; one of th em sa id th a t it ac tually appeared as if the flesh was in a putrid state. The girl's health had been greatly injured by the horrid treatment of her mistress. The Counsel for the defendant declined saying any thing in extenuation of her offence, but declared she was ready to make such compensation for her conduct as the Court would deem proper. One witness spoke to the general humane character of Mrs. Littler. Verdict—Guilty. The CHAIRMAN said it was a case of almost unparalleled barbarity, and very nearly approached that of Squire, who was tried in that Court and hung some years since for the murder of an apprentice, whose death had been occasioned by his ill treatment. Sentence—Twelve months imprisonment. Mrs. Limer, a young woman, was very well dressed, and heard the statements made by the witnesses without a blush, and left the Court for the prison without a tear. WAttsAw.
