THE LONDON' JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning L'apers, N0v.22, 1825. [MORNING *adras Papers to the 19th of July arrived yesterday. They have brought intelligence from Calcutta to' the 3d . of the same month; which is litter than any yet received frOm the same quar ter. It announces. the occupation of another im portant place by our troops, the town and citadel Of Munipore, without any resistance on the part of the enemy„ who fled at the approach of our force. Munipore, or Munnipora (Manipurn, the town ojjewels), is a town in the Burman empire, and the capital of the province of Cassay.. The district in which this town i 4 situated, is some times called the Muggaloo,or Meekly country ,and is the nearest communication between the N. E. extremity of Bengal, and theN.W. quarter of the Burman territories ; but the route has never be fore been traversed by . Europeans. The town was captured by the Burmese in 1774, and has ever since remained tributary to them. 'An in tercourse subsists between it and the province of Assam, for in 1794; . the British detachMent which went to Gergong, the capital of Assam saw there a body 'of cavalry, which had arrived frOm Mu nipore. Notwithstanding the occupation of this place, however, there was no idea that the war could be terminated without another campaign. The negociatithrs for peace had ended by the ab sconding of the Burmese Ambassador during the night, when he had so far succeeded as to pre vent', the march of the English troops on the capital, and when he had ascertained the neces sity of the troops remaining at Procne, and the neighbourhood, during the rainy season. The private letters from Madras concur in represent ing trade as being extremely dull in every branch.- The only business in a state of activity was the preparing fresh supplies of necessaries for the army, which were shipping off in succession for Rangoon. [NEW TI M ES.] Madras Papers to the 16th of , july, with news from Calcutta to the 3d of the same month, reached us yesterday. The latest news from Rangoon-is of the 18th of June, and from Prome of the 7th. The negociations of the Rurmese for peace appear to have been either a mere pretence to gain time, or 'an act dictated by the fear of the moment, and abandoned as soon as that fear began to' snbside. In dealing with Barbarians we must always be — tirepare - d for these. sudden changes of conduct': and we are persuaded that Sir Archibald Campbell's Measures have in no degree been deranged .by the momentary pro spect of peace. It is most satisfactory to learn that by the very latest accounts from Prorne the army there was in great health, with abundance of supplies, and particularly with plenty of bullocks both for slaughter and draught. The rains had set in before the end of June, and of course .our troops .in Assam, Arnica!), and at Procne, must remain quietly in their canton ments till the month of December, should the Burmese not previously offer serious terms of sub mission, which many experienced persons still think . they will do. Our Indian Government, while it takes care to provide for the future safety as well as dignity of our own empire, will doubt less be ready to avail itself of every fair opening for- putting an end to the heavy expellee unavoid ably entailed by the present hostilities. The value of money has naturally risen in India with the demand for it. All sorts of Stocks have fallen. . Eight per Cent. is now the market rate of interest there, and it will probably rise still higher if the war is much prolonged.. 'Great efforts are certainly mak ing to bring the contest to a speedy and tri umphant close, and we know that to starve a campaign, is the worst of all possible economy. The Commander-in-Chief is actively employed in puring in men, ammunition, and stores from all quarters. The Government has paid off many transports at the old rate, . and re-engaged them for a given period at a lower price. The Com pany's remittable paper has fallen from 31 to 25; the non-remittable 'paper and the Five per Cent. Loan are, at par. The Exchange on .England has risen to 2s. 2d. per rupee. [THE TIMES.] .We grieve to find, h4 - concurring accounts from India, that there seems no probable, 'at least no definite hope, of ft termination to these unlucky hostilities with the Burmans. A pretended negociator is said to have been dispatched by the Court of, Ava, to amuse Sir A. Campbell with proposals of peace, and to have disappeared suddenly when he found that the season itself was likely to accomplish the real end of his mission, by cutting short the march of the British General from Prome to Ummerapoora. In the mean time our army from the Rangoon quarter was fixed—it might be said water logged—at Prome, so heavy; was the commence ment of the rainy season ; but what is worse, the usual accompaniment of wet, sickness had begun to manifest itself among the soldiery. The speculations of men are, if we may judge by the Madras letters, turning towards that which must now be considered by every reasonable English man as one of the very gravest consequences and most formidable visitations of a state of warfare— the necessity of borrowing more money to sup port the wear and tear of a protracted contest, and of adding to that enormous mass of debt which, including the debt of the India Company and or the nation, constitutes at this moment an object of all others the most frightful, in our opi nion, that ever was looked at by the members of a political society. That the half-barbarous Burmese should of themseltes be acute enough ~t o prolong the War for the sake of- pressing on' our finances, ,we do not mean to affirm; but the king of 'Ava may possibly not want advisers among the en viers—tint( is', the enemies of English greatness. The . most dangerous counsel, and therefore the most natural, to come from such a source would he, " Do not expend in needless resistance too 44 much of. your own blood and vigour. Draw on " these English > involve them in your extensive cc and difficult country as far as you are able. " Wait a little, do not make peace until the last " moment, keep the invaders at bay, and in due " time you will have not only secret friends, " but hosts of auxiliaries from other parts of " Asia, armed against Great Britain, and ret " ting her at defiance, and bearing upon the cc opposite extremity of her precarious em " pire." A tendency to- such results as this, we have from the outset of the war Ava been led, though with reluctance, to apprehend. We entertain the fear with great reluctance; because, whatever might be the effect of a general uproar in the East, and of a consequent loss of India to this country, sure we are that to the native inhabitants of Hindostan it would be a cala mity for which nothing could compensate. If the principle of our Oriental Government be in the nature of things despotic, it is at least a more discreet, considerate, mild, and tolerable despo tism, than that of the uncouth tyrant of Umincra poora for example—or of Tippoo—or the Mali rattas—or others which England has annihilated. The loss, accordingly, or even disturbance of our Asiatic dominions, would be, with a view to the interests of humanity, an event very seriously to be deplored. We regard, therefore, the progress of this now lengthened contest with an anxiety not measured by any actual or contingent rela tions between England and the Burmese. The Burmese war seems to us a mirror in which other and more alarming trials of British prowess are reflected : and if we fear more than may be realised, it is at least an error on the prudent side: [BRITISH PRESS.] The Paris Papers of Saturday' arrived last night. The Mode contains au article of some importance from Madrid. It professes to be a declaration issuing directly from the King of Spain himself, relative to the foreign and domestic policy he has resolved to pursue. The removal of M. Zea is described as a " personal change" only, and "no change of system." The Spanish . Government is represented to have " for its basis, principles and not persons," and these principles we are told " are founded on justice." This, however, is unfortunately no very explicit state ment, as there are too many individuals in this country, and other parts of Europe, who know, by melancholy experience, that justice has a sig nification in the mind of Ferdinand VII. widely different from the notions of mankind in general. The whole declaration .is couched in the same vague and indefinite language. If it means any thing, we ought to understand that his Catholic Majesty is determined to go on exactly as he has proceeded hitherto, if circumstances will allow him. His foreign policy he announces is invari able. This would of course mean that he will not listen to any propositions for the recognition of American independence. We suspect, however, that all this parade of his determination never to change his policy is only the precursor of an essen tial change in his policy, both foreign and domes tic: Men never talk so loudly that their resolution shall not be shaken as when they feel that it will not stand long. M. Zea had unquestionably mo dified the policy of the Spanish Government,anct if the Duke del Infantado is to pursue his sys tem, it is certain that the Court of Madrid is about to bend to circumstances, and begin indeed " the great work of the regeneration of the Spa nish Monarchy."—The Ex-Empress Maria Lou isa, it seems, has quarrelled with her favourite cavalier, Count Neipperg. [THE PUBLIC_LEDGEII.I Last night - we received Dutch Papers to the 19th inst., but their contents relate merely to matters of local importance, amongst which the wants and interests of the Colonies in India oc. copy a prominent place. To meet the difficulties in which they are involved, it is proposed to raise a Loan to the amount of 20 millions of florins (about two millions sterling). For the payment of the interest and redemption of the principal, a sum of 1,400 florins is to be annually set apart for the Colonial Service, to commence from the Ist of January next year. This sum is to be gua ranteed, " as far as necessary," by the State, for the period of thirty years at the utmost. In a Memorial, accompanying the project of Loan, the causes of the existing embar rassments are stated ; the extent and the na ture of the guarantee explained ; and last, the means are pointed out, which the Colonies pos sess to pay the debt, without burdening the mother country. The following are assigned as the causes of the existing difficulties :—" The great mass of paper currency ; the payment of large sums for goods taken by agreement from the British Government ; the loss of ships laden with produce, and the missing of a ship from Ja pan with a rich cargo ; the great expellees incur red by the erection of military works and of a Colonial Marine." Those are the leading causes; but they alone, it is said, would not have produced the present painful emergency, if it had not been for serious disturbances in the Moluccas, Sumatra, Celibes, and elsewhere, which ren dered expensive military operations necessary. 'l'o those are added failures of crops, and conta gious disorders, which have carried off thousands of the natives, so that many tracts of land -are stated to remain uncultivated. ‘Ve suspect, how ever, that one cause is overlooked—a change in the manners of the mother country, which pre cludes the same economy in the management of her affairs as formerly prevailed. With the honours - of Royalty, she has also incurred the habits of expellee; and though the present Go vernment is both practically and theoretically a good one, yet it seems to have introduced more expensive propensities than would have been tolerated under the former system. 'We are ready to admit, however, that neither the .Dutch nor the Flemings, if the circumstances of the times be. duly considered, have any cause to re pine at their political lot, and very little reason to' be dissatisfied with their present Rulers. [MORNING CIIRONICLE.j Mr. Hume has been amply requited for the attempts to throw on him the odium of the late foolish attempts at combination, in the distill. guished reception he has met with at Edinburgh. Our readers will find an account of a dinner given to him in that city, at which were present most of the individuals distinguished for talents and, patriotism. The Chair was filled by the vir tuous brother of the late Mr. Horner—a man whose exertions for the good of his fellow-crea tures are unceasing, the founder of the Edinburgh School of , —Arts. We cannot, however, lay down our pen without expressing our cordial approbation of the handsome manner in which the services of Mr. Peel in improving the Judicial system of the country, was acknowledged at this Meeting. The worse feature in our national character is the rancour and want of charity which we uisplay in speaking of each other. Of late this uncharitablelpirit seems on the decline, and men speak of the designs and exertions of each other with more candour. If we wish that our censure should be effective, we ought to be as ready to approve of what is good as to censure what is bad. Mr. Peel has entitled himself to the thanks of the country, and let him receive them. [MORNING lIERALD.3 The Cambridge Papers announce that the pub licans of that place have advanced the price of ale and porter ld. per quart ; which, according to the calculation of a Correspondent, whose letter we inserted a few days since, is equal to a charge of 12s. the barrel. As far as the London publi cans are concerned, they have only raised the price of porter a halfpenny a pot, being at the rate of 6s. a barrel, adding only 20 per cent. to the brewers' tax, while the good Bardolphs of the provinces have gone a more sweeping way to work, by snore than doubling it. On the part of the London publicans, it is moreover contended, and we believe very justly, that they return a halfpenny to those who bring their own pots. This they do, not merely on the obvious ground of not having to provide accom modation for those who take their beer away, but principally, we believe, in their own defence; as it is an absolute fact that not less than one in twenty of their pewter pots is stolen every week. So far from wishing to press hard upon the London publicans by any of the• observations which we have been induced to make upon this occasion, we readily admit, and are most strongly convinced that there is no class of tradesmen, embarking any thing like the capital they do, who are oppressed and kept down, both by the operation of the law (for such the Licensing Sys tem, as long as it last, must be considered) and by plunder, to any thing like the extent that they are. Besides the grinding dominion of the brewers, and the caprice (not to say corruption) of some of the Magistrates those people are robbed by servants, by customers, and in the article of pots especially, to an extent that. would scarcely be imagined by those who do not know the facts. The open and profligate extent to which the stealing and receiving their pots is carried on, is a disgrace to the law. NVe have heard it stated, and our police reports confirm the truth of it, that not only are there shops open in every quarter of the metropolis for the reception of stolen led, pewter, and other metal, but that one lof the principal houses engaged in the manu facturing of these pots, keeps one or two open receptacles, where they are taken in after having been stolen, and melted down, and few, if any, questions asked ; and because the parties we alluded to give something like a fair price, they have hitherto escaped conviction, though they actually sell, over and over again, in the same year, the same metal in pots to publi cans, of which they have been robbed. We know of no reasonable profits in a retail trade which can stand against such drawbacks as these ; and we are not at all surprised, that, with such difficulties combined, we see more pub licans ruined than of any other class of tradesmen, as appears by the lists of bankrupts, and of those discharged under the Insolvent Act. For this plunder of thei► , pewter pots we wonder that no remedy has yet been found., In the present ad vanced state of the Arts; it seems to us, that a substitute might be provided for a soluble metal, either by means of the iron-stone earthenware, or in an iron vessel plated or highly polished, which latter especially, we cannot help think ing, might be easily invented, and is one which, after a short time, the public them selves would prefer to the pot now in use. Are have dwelt on these circumstances, as well in justice to ourselves, as to a useful and meritori ous class of tradesmen, whose real situation we should be sorry to have appeared to underrate. Our opinion of the present rise in beer remains not only unaltered, but confirmed. Indeed we have as yet heard nothing to shake it ; while we sea the arbitrary mandates of the London brewers producing a double effect beyond the reach of their immediate influence. The publicans are, as we said of them, " nothing loath" to do this ; but, in justice to them, it must be remembered, that the impost does not originate with them; and that they would be quite as glad as their cus tomers to see an end to an oppressive domineer ing monopoly, of which they are quite as much the victims as those who are thus taxed to main tain a set of people who, in the true spirit of AVhiggism, are the advocates of liberty, while they practise oppression. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 21. Mr. HORNE and Mr. HEALD were heard in a short argu ment upon a question of costs, in a bill which had been struck out of the paper in consequence of the absence of parties. The Louis CHANCELLOR took the opportunity of saying that a practice had obtained lately in the other court of filing a new bill as matter of course,_ to revive any cause which had been struck out of the paper for absence of parties—a practice which was by no means sanctioned by the principles of the jurisdiction. MAGDAT.EN COLLEGE V. SIIITHORPE. This case has reference to the will of the late Dr. Sibtharpe, who had bequeathed a sum of money to the fellows and scho lars, for certain urposes therein described. The question was, whether or no those purposes comprised a charitable or a pious use. If the latter, by the Statute of Illortmain, the bequest to the college was void. But as the legacy might still be capable of legal effect as a charitable trust, the college might claim to hold it as appointee. The Cou wr was of opinion, that in the latter case the Attor ney-General must be called in to assert the right of the Crown as general guardian of charitable trusts. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 21. DOE v. DYKES. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on behalf of the lessor of the plaintiff, moved for a rule to show cause why the venue should not be changed from Cumberland to Derby, on the ground that an impartial trial could not be ensured in the former county. — This was an action of ejectment, brought to recover lands of great value from Mr. Ballantyne Dykes, a gentleman of large fortune and great influence in Cumberland. Many gentlemen who were likely to be summoned to serve on special juries, and even the Lord Lieutenant, had an interest in the question to be decided. At the dinner provided by the Sheriff at the last As sizes, for gentlemen attending as grand jurors, and others, the defendant was present, and several of the jury struck to try the issue, and after he had retired, his health, and success to his cause, was proposed and drank with enthusiasm by the com pany. On hearing of this circumstance, the lessor of the plain tiff withdrew the record, being apprehensive that he should not have an impartial trial while such a feeling existed among those who would probably decide the issue. The COURT thought that sufficient grounds were stated to entitle the party to a rule to show cause, but suggested that the case, if removed, should be taken to some county on the north ern circuit. The ATTORNEY-GENER AL said the property was so inter mixed with lands in the adjoining counties, that an objection arose to trying the cause in either of these counties; but he had no objection to York. The rule nisi was granted for removing the case to York or Lancaster, as the parties might arrange among themselves. RICARDO V. MACHADO. In this case, for discharging the defendant from arrest, ar gued in part on Saturday, Mr. GURNEY and Mr. Com Y.N were heard for Mr. Machado, and contended that their objec tions to the authority of the British Consul, and to the form of the affidavit, were fatal. The COURT took time to consider of their judgment. At 12 o'clock, the Lord Chief Justice left the Court, to sit at Nisi - Prins, in London. THE KING V. COOKE. Mr. J. S. S. Cooke, who was convicted at the Gloucester Spring Assizes, 1824, of a conspiracy to molest Sir George Jemingham, since become Lord Stafford, in the enjoyment of his estates, and to defraud his tenants, and on whom no judg ment has been yet passed, now appeared in Court. M. CAMPBELL moved, on his behalf, for a rule to show cause why judgment should not be arrested or suspended until after the trial of his brother Richard Stafford Cooke. The defendant was indicted, with three other persons, Richard Stafford Cooke, Jobn Russell Miles, and Richard Jenkinson, for a-cOnspiracy. Richard Stafford Cooke pleaded in abate ment that he was Lord Stafford, Baron Staffbrd ; James Stamp Sutton Cooke and Jenkinson pleaded the general issue; and Miles never pleaded at all. To the plea of Richard Stafford Cook there was a demurrer, which had been argued and determined for the Crown ; but judgment of respondeas ouster being given, he afterwards pleaded " not guilty." While the demurrer was pending, the issue joined on the pleas of Sutton Cooke and Jenkinson came on to be tried at Glocester before Mr. Justice Park, when the Jury acquitted Jenkin son, and found Cooke guilty of conspiring with his brother, Richard Stafford Cooke. Now, to constitute the offence of conspiracy,-it was necessary that two should be implicated ; ' and though, if the verdict of the Jury had been general, it might have been sustained in reference to Miles, or to " the persons unknown," with whom all the parties were alleged to have conspired, it could not be sustained when it formed a conspiring with a particular individual, who not only was still unconvicted, but who still might be tried, and be tween whom and the Crown issue was joined. It was true that where a party was dead, or outlawed, a verdict of this kind had been held good; but the case was otherwise when it WAS possible to bring hiln to trial, and when his innocence might yet be made to appear. Supposing hereafter Richard Stafford Cooke should be tried and acquitted, the foundation of the verdict obtained against his bother would fail, and yet he might Dave suffered all the consequences attendant upon conviction. The Cou fur, after ascertaining that the endorsement on the record was to the effect stated, granted a rule to shew cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 21. WRIT OF RIGHT.-TRIAL AT BAR. TOOTH, DEMANDANT-BAGWELL, TENANT. This was an action in which the demandant sought to recover certain lands alleged to be his property, now in possession of the tenant Bagwell. Summonses were issued to four knights of the county, last Easter Term, to elect 12 men, who, along with themselves, were to constitute the grand assize, to try the writ. At the sitting of the Court this morning, the names of the grand assize were called, when it appeared that two of the knights (Sir Geo. Alderson and Sir James Williams) were not in attendance—the former through illness, and the latter by ab sence in the country. The summoning officer was here sworn, and stated, that he left the 'summons at Sir James Williams's house on the 4th of November instant, and was then informed that he was in Derbyshire, and would not return for some months. _ _ The Lord Chief Justice BEST asked Mr. Sergeant Boman quet what course he was disposed to pursue : it appeared to him that the cause could not proceed without the attendance of the four knights. Mr. Sergeant Bosawauvr submitted that the presence of the four knights at the trial was not essential. They were chosen to elect 12, who were to form the grand inquest to try the case; but it id not follow that the knights themselves were to form part of the jury. The COURT asked the Counsel for the tenant, whether they would consent to go to trial without the usual number of knights. Mr. Sergeant VAccitax said they were not disposed to wave any objection in the case. _ _ _ 11Ir. 'Sergeant IIosANQuET (with whom was Sergeant TADDY) again urged the point.that the case might go to trial without the four knights. Lord Chief Justice BEST, referring to Boote's Suit at Law, said it was there laid down, that " there must be 16 of neces sity" to try the case—that was, " 12 together with the four knights who were to elect the grand assize de se ipsis et aliis." After some few observations from lIIr. Sergeant TADDY, . . Lord Chief Justice BEST (who had consulted with the other Judges) said to the Counsel for the defendant, " The opi nion of the Court is, that if you go to trial without the four knights, it will be error on the record. After this intimation you may go on if you will, but you must take the conse quences. _ 31r. Serjeant BOSANQUET, after conferring for a few mo ments with his colleague in the cause, said, that on this expression of the opinion of the Court, he did not think it prudent to proceed to trial at present. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—I think you have decided well ; for if the trial should be afterwards set aside, as I think it would, on the ground of error, your client might not have the opportunity of bringing a new writ. The case must now be ad journed, and the cause of its adjournment will be marked on the back of the record. Mr. Justice GASELEE-Will it not be better first to call over the names of the other persons returned to form the Grand Assize, to see whether there are a sufficient number to try the, cause without the knights ; for if there are not, the cause must of necessity stand over, and that would be a still better ground than the other ? This suggestion was followed. The names were called over, and it appeared that there were only two knights (Sir K. Birnie and Sir Peter Laurie) and seven esquires in attendance. Thir teen esquires and two knights did not answer to their names. Lord Chief Justice BST.—It is now certain that the case must stand over for want of jurors, and it will be so marked on the back of the record. it may be necessary to state here, that as a writ of right is not within the statute of Henry VIII. no talesman can be added to make up a jury, and as the non attendance of the jurors summoned will be a delay of justice to the parties in the suit, the Court will be obliged to fine all those who do not attend when the cause next comes on. Let the cause be adjourned, and as this is a writ which cannot be tried in an " issuable term," I fear it must stand over till next Easter Term. Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET here observed, that the delay was a hardship on his client. Since last Easter Term, one of his witnesses, an old man upwards of 80 years of age, had died, and though he could carry on his case without that person's testimony, yet any farther delay might be very injurious to him, as some of his witnesses were very old men. The Lotto CHIEF JUSTICE—I hope the Jury will attend to this, as it will show the serious consequences which may arise from their non-attendance on a future day. His Lordship soon after - added, that if the fact which Mr. Sergeant Bosanquet had stated, 'as to the death of a witness since last term were put into the shape of an affidavit, it might be ground for the Court to depart from some of the customary forms, and have the case tried in a term which was not an " issuable term," by which it might be brought on sooner. After some few remarks from Counsel on both sides, it was at length determined that the case should be adjourned to next Term, in 15 days of St. Hilary (or. the 27th of next Janua -y)— and fresh summonses were ordered.to be issued to the jurors. The case, on account of the rarity of its occurrence, seemed to excite considerable interest, particularly among the junior branches of the profession, with whom the Court was crowded at an early hour. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 21. CUSTOM - KING V.. VETO. _ _ Mr. CLARK stated, that, this was a scire firctas on a bond for the performance of certain covenants on the building of the Custom-house, which, some time since, in consequence of the insuffioient manner in which it was erected, had fallen down. lie had.now to move that an order which had been obtained by the defendant for a fortnight's further time to rejoin, should be set aside on the ground of irregularity. The defendant . had in the first instance pleaded the performance of his contract, to which the Crown had replied certain particUlar breaches. On the 15th of November the replication had been given in, and four days' notice to the defendant to rejoin ; so that if he it l4 did not rejoin, th e C rown wou ld b e t h at d a y entit.e A ` i tO for 1 ment.

AciencY An argument of some length took place as to the su- - , t , be , the notice given.

At the same time it intimated,have tf defendant's Counsel, if h e s h ou ld h e r ea ft e r move t° trial postpo ne d f or want o f t i me to arr a nge inevitebly succeed.
