FilE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Pxlracis from the Morning Papci's, Aug. 2, 1825. 7.010 lININTI EIiALD.] • ..Tliere.is no fact of which men of all parties and opinions seem to be by degrees more tho roughly convinced than of..the mischief which Net .O'Connell and -his immediate associates iniv.e4lorne, and: are every day doing, to the Ca . tholic- cause... That they should continue this . ; • mischievous..career, and go on heaping error • upon error, and That in spite of the daily and hourly warnings they are on every hand receiv ing;must astonish every one. But we are happy to perceive .that Mr. O'Connell has at length shown some 'symptoms of retiring from his unfor tunate pre-eminence ; and indeed has at length openly avowed his wish to divest himself of his ill-fated supremacy—or, as he calls it, his Ca tholic Leadersini . -; but which he would, at the same time, fain have us believe, has been forced upon him greatly against his will, and to his personal annoyance ! Retire when he will, he will owe a heavy debt of - cernerse and retribution to those on whom his total want of judgment, to ascribe his conduct to the . mildest source, will.have entailed the task and labour of retracing the many steps of his most obvious mis leading. Friendly as we are to the principle that a difference of religious opinions need not neces sarily form any bar to an equality of - civil rights, and stilt more friendly as we must ever be to.the inhabitants of the two islands forming but one political family, united by common bonds of the more is our disgust at seeing.our ge nerous,, .open-hearted, unsuspecting countrymen ins Ireland made - the unconscious took of people, • who are . either the most. designing or the most . ill-judging of the whole human race. Yet, dur ng everyday and every hour of the last. twelve - month, has he and his associates been sedulously . .employed in ruining the cause which'they profess • • to espouse. - At length they seem to have entirely succeeded ; and we much doubt whether any thing can ever redeem the incalculable injury. they have done it. Of all their blunders (and it would , occnpy more space - than we can afford to -enumerate even a tithe of them), that of the journey of the Association to London seems to have been tine most °Watts and decisive, resern . Ailing very much in its natural characteristics, the . memorable embassy of the Irish Parliament in 1788, when a deputation of both Houses were sent over to congratulate his present Majesty on his accession to tine Regency, which the previods recovery of the late King hid rendered abortive. -Mr. Cobbett, to whom th 6 Association, and Mr. 7 ,....0",c0nne1l in particular, had, in the exercise of -.„what some people would call their indiscretion, thought proper to pay court, has somehow or . , other been converted from a friend into a foe ; - and is beginning, as lovers and another kind of people do, when they quarrel, to • divulge a few secrets, which go far to establish' Some a wk -..quiard allusions to the selfish 'objects. which have ii,"e'rn imputed to the leaders of that ill . ..starred. expedition. Th e s e circumstances, and •-'" the spirit of recrimination which•they urn iwt;es - producing, must go far, we should - . think, to-convince the people of Ireland .of what slip pery, evanescent . materials these s e lf- a pp o i nte d. leaders are composed. A short time, therefore, we suspect,• Will accomPlisin Mr. .O'Connell's wish ;..and we shall see him in a short time di. vested of a leadership, in which character we can not too often-repeat our conviction, lie has done more to'injure a n d m i s l ea d hi s too-conciding fol -Ikm;ers than could have been accomplished by bitterest foes, if they had any. • EN:MINING CHRONICI.E.j The case of " Ths King, on the prosecution of the lion. T. B. Pellew; v. John. Orton," for arson, -reported in The Chronicle, of yesterday, ekkibits in a striking manner the defectiveness .of our Judicial Institutions.

How long, he xemained in prison on this charge, does not •appear ; - but we+ are sure if Magis trates, qualified to conduct a ,preliminary-in vostigtition, had investigated the matter w they would not, in the absence of all - grounds, have' committed ;him for trial. The Jury. Lit?,t;antly acquitted the prisoner, but where thete iVtrs - no - room for doubt, there was no room, for commitment:—Nr. Justice Gaselee was of opinion Pellew was perfectly justified .in what"he had done towards instituting_ the in quiry.'' Inquiry is one thing, and - commitment lop trial another.

A singular case has lately come under the decision of the Police Magistrates, A Mr. Lawford, a respectable boultseller in St. James's, has been fined for refusing to take cognizance of charges brought before him as constable of the night. Mr. Lawford claimed the right of exercising a certain discretion in such cases, and upon being over-ruled by the Magistrates, gave notice of his intention to appeal against their decision. We know not whether to wish success or not to this spirited individual. He is at all events actuated by the best feeling in his opposition upon this occasion. The autho rity of the intolerably ignorant guardians of the night is already almost insupportable in a free city ; and if there is to be no check upon the caprice of watchmen in the discharge of their high functions, our condition will be almost as bad as that of a province under the operation of the Insurrection Act. The personal liberty of the subject will be reduced to a low ebb when every man who has the intrepidity to be out after dark may be dragged through the streets, and laid by the heels like a felon at the discretion of these lantern and bludgeon Justices of the Peace. Mr. Lawford states upon his experience of the office, that no street in the parish would be large enough to contain the unhappy prisoners who are nightly collared in their passage through the streets by • these - Parish Dogberries.—(lbid.) IEMORNING POST.] • French Papers to the . 31st ult. with the Etoile of Monday, reached us last night, by express. It is now stated More positively than before, that Conferences were really held at St. Petersburgh between the Ministers of Russia, Austria, France, and Prussia, relative to the affairs of Greece, and that the result was communicated to the 1 3 -,rte _by means of a Note signed by all those Minis ters. This probably contained some proposal for placing a Christian Prince (young Gustavus, most likely), at the head of Greece, under the title of Grand Duke or Viceroy, in order to :preserve • a nominal sovereignty for the Porte. .But whatever the proposals mi g ht h e , th e y were instantly rejected with the hauteur pe culiar to the Ottomans, and without the formality of a written answer, the Reis Effendi verbally decaring to each Ambassador that the Porte must decline all. intervention in that affair as dero gatory to its dignity. It is not very long, how ever, since the language of the Turkish Go vernment, or if not its language, since its con duct was widely different. For when the Rus sian armies were encamped on the !milks of the Pruth, the Porte, with all its sense of dignity, felt no hesitation in claiming the interfer ence, if not,the protection, of the British Mi nister. Now, however, that it has ceased i o feat' the.power, it derides the counsels and reinon straticeS of Christian Sovereigns. It would appear, however, that those'sovereigns were more serious on this occasion, than the Divan, judging . from their.former supineness and indifference, is will ing to suppose. Even the Quolidienne now de clares, that the declaration of the Ministers of the Allied Power must have grave results, and tnust, sooner or „later reduce LAI-isnot) Europe to the necessity of declaring war to the Ottoman Empire, if she wishes to staunch the effusion of blood, rind to restore some kind of order in the provinces inhabited by the .Greeks. There is no :doubt that affairs will come to this point some ,cioy or, .othOr, awn only Will those of Greece 'he arranged, if it. be. possible to arrange thi , m." Meanwhile the events of the campaign continue to assume a more favciUrable appearance, and little doubt remains of the siege of Missalonghi having 'been raised in consequence of General Goura's victory at Salona, and of his advance on the rear of Redschid's army. This information is chiefly derived from the following accounts, dated Mis soloughi, June 22.:—" The Seraskier, Redschid Pacha, has- raised the siege of Missoloughi, in consequence of the events 'which have taken place at - Salona, and has gone to V rachori. It is said that the desertion of the Albanian troops has much 'increased on the news of the defeat of the Captain Pacha, who was to .have brought provisions and ammunition to the Turkish camp before Missolonghi.—Accounts from the Morea state, that ColoCotroni has already had on en, gag'ement at St. Fiore with I brahim Pacha, and that the latter has sustained a considerable loss. [NEW. TIMES.] It was yesterday evening _asserted that letters from Trieste of the 19th instant, had brought in telligence of the capture of Tripolizza by the Turks. Our advises from Trieste - come down to the,2oth, li.ut they contain no mention of that news. From a different- source, however, we samehave the report, with some important addi tions„li Small vessel reached Marseilles from " Malta,. kinging letters from Zante, of the 30th of • June. They state, in substanc e , that the Turkish forces had taken Tripolizza ; and- in revenge 'for some..'•otitrages of the Greeks, had- burnt - it to the ground. • They add. that the 'advanced gOard'of Ibrahani -Pasha was within a short- dis: tatice,of Napoli- de Romania. The Turlcs. are Said to be in possession of Calarnata and anti (her'town.iti.thatneighbourbood; a n d th e . com bined eff e ct -of all this- disastrous intelligence -has. been - to reduce the unahppy Moreotes to to a state - of despair. •Without crediting these 'accounts to their full extent, we tnay .easily believe that the affairs •of the 'Greek Covertiment must have been in ..a very critical State„ when MaurocordatO, - a man of superior intellect and information, could find himself under tbe necessity of releasing . his deadly-enemy, Colo : cotroni, who is little, better. than a chief of ban ditti. The first use 'that Corocetrotii is said to hive *de of his liberty, was to behead Mauro T . ' cordato. How true this may• be we -know not. At MI - eVentS, Maurocordato has disappeared, and Colocoirotir has assumed the' powers Of a-DiCta • The result of these dissensions is the saute now as it was . ire ancient titnes—• DAirani Reges,flectuntur AcWvi. , • . .4THE PUBLIC LF.DGEK.I Aceord.iog'.to ,the botch roper's; the face:of th'hii;"s . lll•Wester'n Greece was fully as; gloomy as it was in the Morea. Solona, the most important place in that province, next to Missolonghi, has been taken by the forces of Redschid Pacha, without the least resistance ; and all that Gene ral Goura could do was, to save the women and children, before the enemy entered the place . This statement is given on the authority of a Greek Journal, and the account of its re-capture was a mere fable, invented by the friends of the Greeks. Farther to the East, Beotia and Attica, were overrun by the Pacha of the Ne gropout, who threatened Athens with a hostile visit, where no adequate preparations to g ive him a suitable reception s ee m t o h ave b een mae ; and it is a melancholy truth, that the pecuniary as sistance furnished by this country to the Greeks has produced no corresponding exertions on their part. To the West, the Seraskier Redschid Pacha was thundering at the gates of Missolonghi at the head of 20,000 men, and he was preparing, at the date of the last accounts, to take it by assault, hay ing already made, it is said, practicable breaches in the walls. This success would be the more to be regretted, as it is stated that he has positive orders not to leave one stone standing upon another in the event of his capturing a place, which may be called the last bulwark of Western Greece. We have been trying for some time to prepare the Public mind for these reverses ; and our ef forts have not been altogether unavailing, not withstanding the system of delusion kept up by most of our cotemporaries. The shock which would otherwise have taken place, when the truth came to be fully known, will be thus broken ; and, in the mean time, it is but too clear that the Greeks have not in themselves the means of averting the ruin with which they are menaced. We shall see what the Christian Go vernments mean to do for them ! [THE TIMM.] The printed statements of India finance are at this moment more than commonly entitled to no tice, from the increased public interest arising out of the war pressure upon the Company,— The accounts extending to 74 folio pages of arithmetic, we shall not trouble our readers with more than a brief abstract of the sums-total. — There is, or appears to be (for we do not vouch it), a surplus revenue from the Company's em pire, after paying all charges, military and civil, in India, exclusiVe of the interest, on debt; but the expences of the home establishment viz. Leadenhall-street, in its innumerable depart ments arid 'dependencies, form no item in the statements of charge referred to, so far as we can discover. These home disbursements consti- tote, no doubt, together with interest on debt, the application or consumption of the net revenue, as well as of the profits resulting from the China trade, for the monopoly 'of which.; on behalf of Leadenhall-st ree t, th e English nation is so pre posterously, but so grievously, taxed. The revenue of Bengal only, as. estimated for £ 1823-1824 stands in the accounts at - - 13,215,300 (being less than that of the year preceding by upwards of 900,0001.) The charges, as estimated for the same 1823-1824, are -- - - 9,490,772 (being more than the expence of the ;ear pre ceding by above 580,0001.) The net surplus, therefore, from Bengal, as esti frir 1 f19.1_1n91, 0..11 tr... • - 3,724,528 (falling short of the net revenue of the previous • year by nearly a million and a half.) . But again, an estimate made in contemplation of war is vary to be too favourable in its antici pation both of receipts and charges. The difficul ties, crosses, delays, and consequent expenditure of the Burmese war, were,, ive imagine, not quite of a nature to ~ b e correctly appreciated by the sort of men who undertook that contest. There seems reason to be apprehensive, therefore, that the net income from Bengal enjoyed by the Com pany, for the years 182.3.-1444 .; will by no Means exceed., .if it should not on. the contrary fall short of, the estimates in the official docu-- ment. However, Bengal -is the only-presidency I froM which any thing like a surplus revenue is anticipated ; all th e ot h ers ; w i t h out except i on, I t yield what is facetiously termed "a net charge"-- that is to say, an excess of. expenditure over in come. jlladras, for the , aboye,utentioned year, is, instead of a profit, to be a burden of more than 660,0001.; . Bombay, 101 ) 0001.; Ben- Cooler', 76,0001.; Prince of - Wales's Island, 50,5001., over all receipts. This will be a deduction from- the surplus revenue of Bengal to the amount or 887,500/. To this-must be ad ded the interest on the Company's debt, amount ing, for air the presidencies, to 1,735,0001.: add St. Helena, about 112,0001:; and these several sums when subtracted from the estimated net in come of rental, reduce the proceeds to 988,0001., short of a million sterling, with which to pay off debt, to support (as we must take for granted) large home establishments, and to carry on a te dioUs extensive, and incalculable war. Of the • China trade, to be sure, they tell us nothing; hut if it be not more flourishing than the Bengal treasury; it may be said that the Honourable COmpany had better look about them. The town of Christiana (says a letter from that place) has been so enlarged and beautified in the course of the last ten years, that those who have not visited it within that period have great dilicultywin recognizing it. Measures are now in progress for building a new Town house, as well as an Exchange. Mit. - BROWN.-On.the.',;ool nit. died., in John street, Fitzroy-square, WILLIAM: BROWN, Esq. in the 77th yeat of his age. His talent as a Gem Engraver will hand down MS name, in conjunction with those of .his contemporaries, MARCHANT and BURCH., to the latest posterity; his univer sal philanthropy, his unaffected kindness and intrinsic worth, will he ever remehibered by his faMily. and friends, to whom his death is a source of the most sincere sorrow. In early _life, Mr. Brown enjoyed the patronage of the Empress Catherine .of Russia, and had an unlimited order for, her cabinet, in which the principal part of liiiivorki are placed. Her :death closed the certain reward of MS exertions ; and the French revolution obliging hiM to quit Paris, where he enjoyed, a high reputation in the Court of Louis XVI. he returned to England, to find his favourite.art negletted and forgotten; except where the in genuity of Italian' artists could extract from his wealthy coun trymen immense sums for modern antiques and s p ur i ous spe cimens of Greek or Roman workmanship. Of Burch and Marchant, men of the highest tttlent,the former had sheltered himself in the Royal Academy, whete• 'he was appointed' Li brarian; the latter had accepted a situation in'the Stamp Office, as an engraver of Stamps. tinder these discour a gi ng circum stances, Mr. Brown still Continued to exercise his, profession, and engraved a series of. Pcirtraits of illustrious characters of Eniland, part of which are is the. possession of his Majesty.--•- His last great work was a Cameo; for the lid of 'the box pre sented by the Light Horse Volunteers to Colonel Berries.

The whole of the distance was completed in about forty minutes. We observed most of the amateur's boats upon the, river, laden with beauty and fashion. COIVES, JULY 31.—The match on Friday, between the - Marquis of Anglesea's Pearl, and Mr. J. Weld's Arrow, was won by the former by 11 minutes. The Arrow took the lead at starting, and kept it for about 12'miles, when. she was passed by the Pearl,' and never headed her afterwards. - They started from a vessel in Cowes Roads, and the wind being directly fair, they soon had every stitch of canvass they could possibly set : the Pearl carried a topgallant-sail over her squaretop-sail, and the Arrow had a tremendous squaret!:p-sall ; each had ring tails, &c. They proceeded- to the westward round a ves sel moored in Slwanage Bay, about 30 miles from Cowes, and back again to the starting vessel off CoWes Castle, so that they went a sufficient distance to prove the several 'sailing qualities of each vessel.—On Saturday, the Liberty, the property of the - Noble Marquis, and the Julia, the property of Joseph Weld, Esq. were brought to the same starting vessel, and sailed the same course as the two large yachts on the preceding day. Various-were the 'opinions concerning these two beautiful little cutters, and many bets were offered and taken ; indeed they seemed to excite as much interest as the others. The wind was from the same quarter as on Friday, and about half-past six in the evening the gun was fired; on the Julia passing the winning-post first, leaving the Liberty four minutes astern. PORTSMOUTH REGATTA.—The time for the Portsmouth Regatta is the - 18th and 19th of August; instead of the 9th and 10th, as printed by mistake last week. The competition for the principal Prize, will take place between sailing vessels from 25 to 40 - tons, the winning vessel to receive 25 sovereigns, the second 14 and the third 5 sovereigns ; the first prize to sailing vessels under 25 tons, 14 sovereigns ' • the second 7, and the third 4 sovereigns ; 17 sovereigns will be given to the four best sailing wherries, 14 sovcreiqns to four best rowing wher riei.
