Tim LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extraetsfrom the Morning Papers,Alarch 5,1525. [THE TIMES.] Aiotives of all kinds have heen applied to Fer dinand of Spain to induce him to recognize the Cortes' Bonds. His hopes have b o en excited, and his fears awakened ; yet still he remains obstinate. Among the arguments calculated to alarm him is said to have been the following : The holders of the bonds have been represented its likely to make war upon him by means of his sown refugee subjects. Funds are to be supplied to these injured men in order to enable them not oo ly to effect a return to their native country, but also to revive the patriotic cause, and raise levies in its support. With a mind constituted like Ferdinand's, this notion might work on his fears, were it not counteracted by his hatred of every thing that is just and honourable. We have reason to believe that such propositions. as those alluded to have acCually been made to some of the distinguished Spanish officers now • in this gauntry. ; but that, from a belief that the state of the Peninsula is not sufficiently promising at present, or from some other cause, they haVe not yet been entertained. This hesitation is a pru dent one ; for, as pity was never an inmate in the bosom of Ferdinand, there is no doubt that the refugees would suffer, if found and appre hended in the country, whatever 'pretext they might give out for their return. • [mmtNING ciiitoNicLE-] Our read,"-rS will see that the Bill relative to Spring Grins %vas read a second lime last night. After the convincing arguments urged by Lord uffield, opposition to the Bill. would, we think, hate been very unbecoming ; and accordingly there was none. " In nineteen out of twenty of the cases (said his Lordship) in which injury was inflicted by spring guns, the persons in iured were not poachers. Their Lordships might perhaps ask, why he did not quote these cases, and the, reason was this : In one of the most recent and most striking cases of this kind, he knew that the mentioning of it would inflict a serious injury on the individual concerned. In another strong and recent case, he had been requested by an Hon. Baronet, a Member of the other House, in the name of the family to whom the accident had happened, not to mention it. Out of respect to this family, and out of respect to the feelings of another person, he forbore to cite those two cases." By way of illustrating the position that a per son might be tempted by a variety of motives to enter into a cover with game and spring guns, his Lordship staled, that A friend of his was lately riding on a snowy, stormy night, Trherr his hat blew off. He was fortunate enough to catch it, bat he observed, that had he not caught it, it would have blown into a cover, and he must either have ridden in. the snow bare headed, or Ilve run the risk of his life in getting his hat." The last defence of this practice We should have expected is humanitg. • gat So, it seems, .hu manity, dome humanity', led to the use of spring guns as well fo the guillotine. 4C Gentlemen (said his Lordship) uphOld them because they prevented gt:eater enormities." That is to say, the l'-'hurnane . Gentlemen, Who' fOr the sake of a par tridge egg would break up - n family who would throw our peasantry by thousands every year into gaol, begin to find out that the manufacture of felons to- - -'hick this system necessarily led, has been carried on of fa!e on rather too extensive a scale ;. that besides the inconvenience of heavy COunty rates, it is not the most pleasant thing in the world to be surrounded by human beings, who, beincr already degraded,, are insensible to shame—these humane Gentlemen, we say, are ticilling to compromise matters; they will sub stitute shooting for imprisoning, regretting at the same time, that no means can be "devised for corn miarlicating to a spring gun the power of discri- It:mating between the innocent and the guilty, and that the lives of nineteen•of the former must `be sacrificed for one of the latter._ Still we 'are Rat prepared to go the length of one person alluded to by -Lord :Sufeld,:" high in his Ma jesty's Government, who- had . declared that h e liras disgusted with the very name of humanity." As fashion is every thing in this country, though • the fashion of humanity may have led a number ' of impertinent- people to display their humanity by interfering with the affairs of their neighbours (ill-natured people will contrive to make what ever.happenS to be fashionable at the time, hu manity, religion, or what not, a, vent for the acii. riatretl• of their dispositions), yet if the fashion should set in for inhumanity, matters would be much worse. Upon the whole, therefore, we • think, if there , is one Cabinet' Minister who is disgusted .with.tho very name of hurnanity (after a very slight acquaintance, we fear), it would have been fully as well, if he had kept the senti ment to•himself,-77 The example of a Cabinet lvli- Tasty Is very seductive, and it is not the fault of the people of this country to do things by halves. rmo P.NING POST;] In moving the Army Estimates last night, Lord- Palriterstnti proposed an increase to the `Land Forces of 8,000 . men, rank and file, and 2,000 Officers, with 'an additional charge of 229,0001. Thi4 increase,,he explained, was to be made by adding two companies to each ex isting regiment, which now consisted only of eight. They would then be composed of ten trignpanieii, Six of which would be_for service, _and would consist of 516 men each, whilst the other•four, of only 1 . 40 men each, would be re serve and depot companies, which would remain at horne . when the - others went abroad, and would su pply a constant fund for the relief of the cola. nl garrisons. .This not only: the cheapest a mode of increasing the army, hut also th'e most beneficial,' as' it, would afford great-facilities-for in tim e o f war , w hil s t i t further augme ntnt i on offered important advantages in time. of peace.— Officers abroad were often affected by the cli 'mate, and obliited to return hom e in consequence 01111 health. Such leave of absence was neces sarily short, an d the result- was that the . Officers' must either return to a clim a t e disagreedwith th( 11 - 4 or must go u p on hilf,pay. By the proposed change Officers might come home, and their places be sup_ pttrci by others from the depot • Company..__ same With the men who were now frequently invalided from:abroad, although quite fit for some. sort of duty at`hoine. With respect to the'caqse7 of the propos e d • augmentation, the Noble Lord declared it to be " purely external and colonial." Ile did not find " any necessity for .such an in crease in the present state of Great Britain. The loyalty and attachment of the people were beyond all question. With respect to Ireland, the actual state of things was not less fortunate. A gloom had indeed for some time hung over that country, but rays of brighter omen were beginning to dis perse the gloom. He believed that the= vote of the House a few nights since would carry a cheering hope into Ireland and promote its tranquillity more effectually than thousands of soldiers. The general appearance of the im proved condition of Ireland, afforded the most consoling anticipations. The augmentation he was about to move had not the slightest reference therefore •t.o Ireland." After giving this gra tifying assurance, the Noble Lord showed that from the number and importance of our Colo nies in all parts of the world, the Army, as it stood at present and had been for some years past, did not supply an adequate force to send out reinforcements to their garrisons, without resorting to the fatal measure of stripping those of nearer Colonies. He demonstrated the jus tice and humanity of not condemning our brave troops and officers to perpetual banishment, in some petty and remote place, after they had so gloriously served their country. He did not wish to be understood as having had in view the slightest reference to any possible breach of our foreign relations, Great Britain had, by military success and commercial enterprise, risen to a high eminence in the scale of nations. Her influence was not exerted, nor meant to be ex erted, for sordid gain nor self-aggrandizement. — But it was necessary to have in every part of the British dominions a force adequate to their pro tection. He then moved that 86,893 men, ex elusive of the Regiments for service in India, and the Royal Veteran Battalions, be granted for the ensuing year. This motion was agreed to una nimously, although in assenting to it Col. Davies and Mr. Ilobliouse, but particularly the latter, ex pressed their regret that the cause of the increase 46 had no reference to Foreign Powers," that is to say, that we should not be threatened with Continental hostility, which ought, eve should think, to be matter for congratulation rather than for regret. Sir Robert Wilson gave, his testimony to the necessity of strengthening Gibraltar, and approved of the course proposed in general. The several annual resolutions were then voted with out opposition ; as well as those for the Ordnance, which were moved by Sir Henry liardinge. In a pro prin a Committee on the Assessed Taxes Repeal Bill, the Chancellor of the Exchequer expressed his intention of relieving the internal lights in houses from the operation of the Win dow Tax—a concession which cannot fail to prove highly useful and agreeable. In the Lords the Unlawful Societies' Bill went through a Com mittee sub silentio, and the third reading was fixed for Monday next. The Spring Guns Mw lition Bill was also read a second time. [MORNING 'JERALD.] A long discussion took place last night in the House of Commons on the Tees and Weardale Railway Bill. It was opposed by Sir 11. Ilar dinge and 'ethers, otv the ground that it was one of the wild speculations of a passing hour; that the proposed line of Railway went within a mile and a half of the Marquis of Londonderry's seat ; and that though the road could not be seen 'from the mansion - , " - the noise of the loco-motive en gines could be heard in every room of it." Mr. Daveuport called them "infernal engines," and Lord Cavendish denounced " the infernal Rail way." It was added, by Sir H—Hardinge, that the original line, was planned to go through d portion of Lord Eldon's property ; but that was abandoned, because it was deemed easier to battle with Lord LotidonderrY, than to struggle against the Lord Chancellor. On the other hand, the measure was supported by Lord Milton, the Members of the City of London, &c. pn the assumption that the Railway would afford those additional facilities. for the convey ance of coals, which might thereby be brought into the London market, to compete with , the coals sent from the Year and Tyne. — They maintained that suck measure, and the consequent competition that it was likely to produce, was calculated to reduce the price of coalS iii, the Metropolis. .Sir M. W. Ridley replied CO Alderman Wood, that so long as the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of Lon don continued their regulations on this subject, coals never could be obtained at a cheap rate in and about the metropolis. Mr. Lambton opposed the Bill, and said he did so disinterestedly, be cause his coals were of a better quality than those that were to he brought along the projected Rail way, and therefore would bear competition. The House divided on the Bill—it was carried. Mr. Lambton afterwards moved for the By-laWs of the City of 'London connected with this subject, and they were ordered to be laid before the House. There was a tolerably full attendance of Members, and the gallery was filled, but when this question was disposed of crowds departed. [NEw TIMES.] Lord Suffield.moved the second reading in the. 'House of Lords last night, of the Bill to render :illegal the use of Spring-Guns for the protection .of : Game. His Lordship stated the general grounds upon which he founded- the, measure, and adduced several instances. of the injury indi viduals had sustained from the use of these guns, for which damages had been awarded in Courts • of Law. The Bill was read a second time with out opposition, and was, ordered .to lie printed.-- In the House of Commons .last night, Lord Low ther moved the second reading. of.the Teesdale Railway Bill, which was opposed by Sir H. liar dinge, on the ground that the c'oals in the neigh bourhood of the Railway were so small as not to be able to find . a market—that it was a private speculation rather than a public benefit, and that it was contrary to the wishes of five principal proprietors, through. whose land the Railway Would pass, and be more especially annoying to Lord Ltindonderry„ as the noise of the loco• motive engine would be heard in every room- in . his -house. Th e Bill w as supporte d b y Mr. Al. derman Thompson, who argued, that public be nerd ought to be held paramount to the wishes of private individuals. Lord Milton, Mr. Alder man Brydges, Mr. I'. Wilson anti others, followed on the same side.—Mr. Lamhton, Mr. Calcraft, and other members spoke against the Bill, when, on a division, there appeared . - 63 . - . 53 . For the second reading - Against it Majority in favour of the Bill - 10 When this decision of the House is considered in connection with that of Wednesday night, on the Manchester Railway, together with the sound and enlightened views which Mr. Huskisson then expressed, it appears probable, that there will not be, henceforth, any violent opposition made to the various Railway roads which have been projected. The House afterwards went into a Committee, when the Army Estimates were brought forward by Lord Palmerston, and the Ordnance Estimates by Sir Henry Hardinge. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] Though there were no arrivals yesterday from the Continent, or any other part of the world, which could affect the money market, yet it remained very heavy throughout the day.— This state of depression will probably continue, till the mystery in which . - our foreign relations are at this time involved be wholly removed ; and it is rather strange that no attempt has been made from the proper quarter, to relieve the pub lic from the alarm which they evidently feel on this subject. By the word alarm, we mean here that feeling which uncertainly generates ; for such is the high tone that prevails in the country, and such is the universal satisfaction, with which the recognition of the independence of South America has been hailed, that, if war should he the result, it would produce greater unanimity, than had ever existed on any former occasion of a similar kind. But the Public, not knowing what they have to grapple with, or whether the phan tom be real or imaginary, are kept in a state of feverish suspense ; and, if there be no sign of apt approaching storm, it is rather strange, as we have just said, that no assurapce to this effect has been yet given, notwithstanding the many op portunities that have presented themselves of late and which, we thought, would have been gladly seized in order to put the public mind in the right tact with respect to our foreign relations at this moment. Ministers are not in gene ral ester) , costive when disclosures are become necessary ; and they usually find . out an oc casion, if it should not freely present itself,' in order to coriect any serious misconception of the effects of their policy. In this instance, however, they have left the public .to . their own conjectures; or, if they have indirectly 'touched the question, which is the all-pervading .subject of interest, the allusion has uniformly tended to strengthen the prevailing surmises. It always contained some appeal to the public spirit of the country, as well as some strong hint with respect to the insolent tone of interference by which the proceedings of the Holy Alliance are cherac... terized. We have remarked this clearly in the financial statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; and still more clearly in the short but pithy speech of Mr. Canning on the Catholic Question.--It is this evident ness on the part of his Majesty's Government to laud the moderation of foreign Powers, and yin:- dicate their pacific disposition, which has . cast over the money market the gloat* that has per vaded it for some One. If Ministers are rather passive on the subject, still the calm which they assume, is now and then interrupted by a sudden flash of lightning, or 'by the distant rumbling of thunder, as we have witnessed in the two speeches above-mentioned. On the contrary, the silence which foreign Powers have hitherto guarded, is of a dead and suffocating character. It is a deep and heavy calm, which not a breath of air agitates, and Which assumes every hour -greater consistency as well as a more lowering appearance. On our side the signal of danger has been hoisted; as may seen from the large augnientation, which. it is proposed to make to our military force. On the 'other side, not a demonstration is to be seen— not even a menacing word has been suffered to escape ; and there is that collected appearance on the whole, which a man would assume, who was preparing himself for a mighty and Verilous undertaking. Whether a furious storm, that the political world from its founda tions,shait raise oranother illustration of the mountain in labour, shall be the result of this profound state of suspense, we must leave t o w i ser h ea ds than our own to decide. [BRITISH. PRESS.] T he interment of the Hon. F. Ashley Cooper, it is understood, will take place on Sunday next. Mr. Wood is permitted to remain at large, ac companied by a pike attendant, to avoid the.. diSgrace of being committed to the county gaol ; his trial will take place at the present Assizes for the county. Mr.'Leith, his second, has been for the present removed from Et o n. We trust will be permitted iciPais i w h i r t s h P o a ti i t nfa f makinge venitts due impression on those who have the conduct of our great public institutions for education in this coun t r y, in which. the whole system of mo ra l preparation is lament ably, defective. If any proof were wanting of The shameful negligenCe which Prevails in this respect,, ..we have only to turn to the afflictive catastrophe which has happened at Eton, and the disgraceful proceedings at Harrow, which in the same week have .beeti the, subject of our Police Reports. -The subject furnishes more ample and more i nterest i ng ma t er i a l s for reflection th an can b e touc h e d upon within the colums of a N ewspaper. Th e H ea d M a sters of thes e p u bli c Seminaries have. much to answer for ; their culpable negligence has been long notori ous, and it is f u ll t i me that they a d opte d some less lax and culp a bl e system than t h at by which they have so lon g brou g ht di scre dit on their p u p ils, disgrace up on t h emselves. Th ose who are en trusted with th e education o f t h e highest classes of our youth i ncur a deep respon sibility by suf fering th em t o p r a ctise w i t h imp worst vices b y which the lo west are degraded. Preceptors s t an d in loco paren tif, and they wrong both the Par ents and the public w hen then pay so unity all the little regard to the moral superintendence of their pupils, that their habits become depraved before character is formed, and this from an utter disre gard, on their part, of that prudential guardian ship which the duty of their situation imposes, and which the very nature of it implies.— What can be the constitution of an establish ment intended for public instruction of youth ; in which a battle could be fought between two pupils, which should last for nearly two hours ; in which one of the combatants, a child of as tender an age as fourteen, should be plied with spirits, till, at last, disfigured with bruises and stupified with liquor, he is carried away senseless, and within four hours is a corpse ; and this without the head-master, the under-masters, or any one in authority, knowing apparently, any more of the matter, or taking any more concern in it than if it had happened thirty miles off ! Great blame, it is manifest, must rest somewhere. The system must be radically baneful under which this could happen. We have no intention to sermonise. We know that in all public schools, young men born to rank and wealth must, after a certain period of life, be left very much to the controul of their own discretion. There is, perhaps, no good reason to be given for this ; but it arises out of circum stances which it is not easy to controul, and which, in a measure, therefore, must, be submit ted to. But that boys that have been scarcely ten years breeched, should be i►► no better state of dis cipline atEton than the late deplorable eventproves - them to be, is a matter of too deep an interest to be much longer overlooked. If the masters, both of Eton and Harrow, had not long been regard less of every interest but their own, the actual condition of these seminaries would not be what it is ; we hope, now that cases so disreputable have made that condition so public, ever► their own interest may at length force upon them the necessity of reforming it.

Among the numerous measures for the ernpkiy• ment of British Capital, we know of no AlNgie project fraught with so much apparent benefit to the labouring population of this great metropolis as the supply of good Beer, and rendering the same genuine in quality and moderate in price. THE GOLDEN-LANE SUBSCRIPTION BREWERY, when first established, accomplished two important points, improve,- meet in the general quality of London Porter, and prevented an advance then about to take place; and the patronage of the public was such as to raise the sale equal in quantity to the first rate houses in the trade. _ _ The intended increase of Capital, and the introduction of an improved Management, will again command an enlarged trade; and restore it to its original importance. In building the GOLDEN-LANE BREWERY and erecting the plant, no expence was spared in making it in every way adapted to the purpose for which it was intended, combining interior convenience for a trade of the greatest extent, with the peculiar advantage of a central situation, and there is no doubt that the profit will afford an ample return for the investment, thereby combining individual advantage to the Shareholder, and restoring his property to prosperity, with one of the greatest benefits that can accrue to a larg portion of inhabitants of the metropolis—namely, a wholesome beverage at a mo derate price. COURT OF CHANCERY•(`ms DAY.) DUPLICITY OF A GUARDIAN. BELGRAVE BELGRAVE. Mr. HORNE, on .the Lord Chancellor taking his seat this Metro - ing, begged to call his Lordship's attention to the above case, which was characterized by more than ordinary features of du plicity on the part of the defendant, who was the guardian of the plaintiff. The purport of his application was for a writ of No excat Regno against the defendant and his daughter, who was possessed of all the blandishments that could attach to a young lady born and bred in the Isle of Tobago. The facts of the case were shortly as follow f—The father of the plaintiff had died, leaving him an immense fortune in the above Island. When he was only six years of age he (the plaintiff) was sent to this country, where he remained up to the present time; having at tained the age of maturity. A short time since he was agreeably surprised by a visit from his guardian, who, as he represented, had come to this country for the purpose of settling his ac counts with the plaintiff, and obtaining his discharge fromilis office of guardian. In order to make his visit the more accept able; he intimated that he had 2,0001. in hand, which he was ready to pay over immediately, and, as a. faithful guardian, studying the happiness, welfare, and comfort of his ward, he had also brought over with him a young lady, possessed of un equalled beauty, and possessing every charm to render his life happy. The blissful picture had its due effect on the plaintiff, who unhesitatingly consented to discharge his guardian, from all responsibility, settle his accounts, marry the lady, and execute a marriage settlement. t the moment, however; of raising the supposed blissful chalice to his lips it was dashed from his grasp, for no sooner had he executed the various do cuments than his wily guardian left him, taking with him the deeds, his intended wife, .and the 2,0001., and prepared to ,set sail hack to Tobago. At this juncture it was found that Were .was upwards of 30,0001. unaccounted for, but such was ,Oe pressing nature of the case- that he (Mr. Home) had advised his client only now to pray for the writ as to. 879, which having obtained, he could afterwards amend his bill. Under thesct circumstances the Learned Counsel submitted, that he had laid before his Lordship suclia case as he felt confident would in duce his Lordship to'interfere, particularly as the facts were sworn to. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—Take the writ for the slim you , have stated. . , The writ was forthwith issued and sent down to the Tropic, the vessel in which the defendant and the young lady - had taken their pasidge, to stop them from proceeding on their .voyager COURSE OF EXCHANGE, Match 4.
