TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extraetsfrom'the illornmg Papers, Aug. 9, 1625. [THE TIMES.] A Correspondent w hose authority is entitled to respect, infor.ns us that an eminent merchant connected with Mexico waited on Mr. Planta, otl Friday last, at the Foreign-office, on the sub ject of the reported non-ratification of the treaty with that country. Ile is said to have received from Mr. Planta " positive assurances that all " the essential points of the treaty were adjust " ed, but that some secondary alterations had " been agreed to by the Government in Mexico " which the Government here did not think pro " per to confirm. but that they were not of a na " tore to excite any uneasiness to persons having " intercourse with Mexico." IVe think it not un likely that stitch a communication may have been made by the Under-Secretary of State to those who inquired of him respecting our relations with Mexico. It is the business and duty of a Minister, or his representative, to put the best face on public affairs—to keep all things smooth, and all men in good humour. By another hand, however, and no mean one, the Mexican picture has been differently grouped. We are assured, on this authority, that ,the difference between Mr. Canning and the Mexicans is far from un important ; that the 'discussions were so vio lent in Congress, and the prospect of a favourable resolt so discouraging, as to have induced the En glish Commissioners at one time to demand their passports. On this, it is added that some re luctant concessions were made, which Mr. Morier hoped might be acceptable. When, however, the treaty was laid before Mr. Canning, he pe remptorily refused his consent, and desired the instrument to be sent back to Mexico for revi sion. it is said that the exorbitant claims of the Mexicans relative to certain privileges of naviga tion constitute the real difficulty, not the point of religious toleration ; and that had the latter only been at stake, the Mexican Envoy in Lon don might have taken upon himself to concede it. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] There is no country in Europe, with the ex ception of Holland, in which the number of " people who exist without bodily labour is so great, proportionally, as in Britain. This is the result of the high state of perfection which the national industry has attained. In a low state of civilization, befOre mechanical inventions have come to the aid oflabour,nearly the whole popu lation- is employed in the work of raising food. As society advances the number of persons em ployed in raising food bears always a smaller and smaller proportion to that of the rest of th - p population, and cities and towns .cover the face of the land. In England, the population has doubled Itself within the last hundred years ; but the town popula tion has increased in an infinitely greater ratio than that of the whole. Two hundred years ago England had few large - towns, and the produce of the soil was chiefly consumed by those who raised it. Mark the contrast now ! Norfolk, which is a a great manufacturing, as well as agricultural County, exportea produce, even in 1793, to the value of nearly a million and a half ; since that time the exports have greatly increased. From the outlet of a small district with which we are acquainted, of which the whole population does not amount to many thousands, there was exported in the two years of 1814 and 1815, 80,500 'quarters of wheat, 13,587 quarters of flour, 34,055 quarters of barley, 2,640 quar. ters of barley flour, 1,373 quarters of rye, 132,303 quarters of oats, and '20,000 quarters of oatmeal. From the same district, the quantity of live stock "saki is• very great, These are the funds for the support of the ingenuity of all sorts, -with- which this idapd abounds. The mechanic, the artizin, those who cater for the entertainment of society those who dedicate theirtalents to its improvement, have here their revcnbes. PRESS.J 13y the Greek Papers, we received the decree of arnupsty by which Coloccltroni and the other factions cl,,ieftainS were pardrnied, arid recalled to the service of their country. The decree is signed by Manrocordato, who, we learn, was smorifrst die first to experience the ill effects of restoring these rnen to power. lie was irnmedi . rately thrown into prison, where he remained at -- -the date of the last advices, together with Seve sJ other patriots of distinction, who had endea votired to suppress the aristocracy by which the liherties- of Greece are threatened. The _ . Government is now purely military ; Colocotroni possesses the supreme authority. The - late Pre :lndent, Conduriottis, had-resigned his office and ~ vitircirew to Hydra, where he lived in retirement. While s,-;c? express our regret that the political • ' . ll2Tairs of Greece have falltrn under the direction -of kaders, so utterly unfit for the station they ~. hold., we fear we must admit that it was abso lutely essential to the safety of the' Morea for the command to. be again inv?sted in their hands. ei , Keither the people nor the soldiery had confi i:dence in the Officers .appointed by the, l ate .Government, nor in truth do they seem to ''"tfave deserved it. The fall of Navarino was :Certainly the result of the : negligence, inca. ..4-pacity, and di,sentions of the CommanderS who 7i their had 'the forces of Greece at their disposal. TiCulocotroni appears to have adopted the most efficient measures to repair .the disasters which . '.Red occurred during his confinement. When reece has achieved her independence it . will be 'rtirne" , - enough to decide what Government she il, 11 have. The - patriots have hitherto been more I engaged in debating abst - ract theories than in pro • - -aiding the means of- defence against the enemy `,-,iffito - men - aces not only 'their institutions , but.theth selves with extirpation. [MORNING POSII trench Papsrs to the 7th ins.; and the Etoile •' 6P - S4indal , - arrived last night , by Express,. .The - 'Japer cOnt4insrit he ' Repott of the Commissioners , 000p4ititet 1 / 4 (4 . exarnise The amoOnt of • Five pet ' geftteo converted, or• asked to be :con— 'eked into three. 'per— Ceati... The total as we anticipated yesterday, exceeds that men tioned by the Moniteur as the probable result of the measure, but not to such an extent as ma terially to change the state of the question. The amount actually converted is only 17,700,892 francs, but the demands for conversions re ceived up to twelve o'clock at night on the sth inst. embrace about thirteen millions more, form ing a total of 30,688,268 frs. Now to judge of the success or failure of the measure, it is only necessary to state what was the amount of Rentes to be converted, and the proportion will speak for itself. The amount of Five per Cent. Rentes originally created was 197,000,000 frs. Of these, 37 millions have been redeemed by the Sinking Fund, and 20,000,000 frs. have been applied to the endowment of the public Establishments,and by law cannot be touched. There remained, therefore, 140,000,000 frs., which were converti ble. Out of these, 30,000,000 francs alone have been converted, or little more than one-fifth, and as the books were closed on the sth inst., no fur ther conversion can take place. Now, when a measure has produced little more than the fifth part of the result for the attainment of which it was adopted, it would be superfluous to raise the question of its success, for failure is too apparent to be doubted. This was not, however, the whole of M. Vivelle's plan. A second branch of it offers to the holders of Five per Cent. Rentes, a conversion of their Stock into Four and a Half per Cent., with a guarantee against re-payment for ten years. This is more likely to he accept. ed ; but as the period fixed for the operation is next September, the result must be waited for, before a decided opinion can be formed of the situation in which the Finance Minister may find himself placed, when called upon to fulfil the engagements which the law of indemnity has imposed upon the French treasury. [NEW Times.] We have received the French Papers of Satur day, and the Etoile dated Sunday. The Etoile contains the anxiously expected Report of the Commissioners appointed to declare the amount of Five per Cent. Stock converted into Threes. The result is, that a Rente of 30,688,268 francs, representing a capital of 610,765,360 is found to be converted. This sum, though not so high as the Minister originally expected, is nearly twice as great as his adversaries reckoned upon, to a very late period. In order to corn prebend this subject, it must be recollected that the French Consolidated Debt amounts to nearly 4,000 millions of francs, bearing at 5 per cent. an annual interest, or Rente, of nearly 200 millions, and having a Sinking Fund of 40 mil lions per annum. M. De Villele's grand plan was to indemnify the Emigrants by creating a Relate of 30 millions of francs per annum, repre sewing, at 3 per cent. a capital of 1,000 millions; but to reduce the interest of the existing debt ultimately to 4 per cent., which would have diminished, the Rente forty millions of francs, so that the future annual charge of the Old Debt, and of the Indemnity Stock added together, should be less by 10 -millions of francs, than the debt alone had been previously. With ! this view he last year brought forward a law, by Which he proposed to compel the holders .of . Fivt. per Cents. to convert them into a lower Stock, by raising a loan to pay oil" the dissi-; dents ; but that law was rejected by the Cham ber of Peers. This year he carried both the Law of Indemnity and the Law of Conver.! sion ; but the iattor was very different from the law for a like purpose the year before. It i was now left optional to the holders of Five per! Cent. Stock, down to the sth of the present' month, to accept for every 100 francs capital, 133 1-3 in a 3. per Cent. Stock, or in other words, to take 3 per Cents. as 75 ; and from this time to another period, to take 4f per ,Cents. at par, not redeemable for ten years. It was to be sup. posed that there would be holders of three classes, and they would drive different advan tages from the different plans they thought fit to follow : I. Those who did not convert at all would retain 5 per cent., subject to be paid off as soon as suited the ➢Minister's conve.. nience, at 100. _ _ 2. Those who converted into the CI per Cent. Stock would diminish their income cnly a tenth ; arey would be sure of that income for ten years, but after that time they would be liable to he paid vfF at 100. 3. Those who converted immediately would increase their nominal capital one-third ; and if the 3 per Cents. should ripe, as they probably would, above 75, they would increase their real capital; but their income would be dimished a fifth. It is this last class whose operations form the subject of the Report before us. It was pre dicted by M. Casimir Perrier; in the debate of the 23d of March, that there would not be ten millions in all Paris converted into 3 per cents. The result, however, we see is very different, for above thirty millions have been converted. Still it may be said, this is not a large propor tion of two hundred millions . but M. de Villele himself has often expressed a wish not to have all the funds of the same rate. He no doubt reckons as much upon the 41 per cents. as upon the threes ; and it must be re membered, that besides the thirty millions converted, there are the thirty millions of the indemnity, which, indeed, will not be created, all at once, but in five successive years. Mean while, the powerful Sinking Fund ei ill rapidly buy up the newly-converted threes, which repre sent a capital of 818,353,813 francs, viz. the above-mentioned capital 613,765,360, with an addition of one-third, or 204,588,453. This ad dition to the old capital will be wholly absorbed by the Sinking Fund, in about three years. Upon the whole, M. de Villele has shown great perseverance in a plan which has encountered the most violent opposition. His success hitherto is greater than the best-informed persons in Paris seemed to expect ; and though much yet remains to he done, enough has been effected to encou rage him to proceed with confidence, [TUE PUBLIC LEDGER.] The Paris Papers of Saturday contain the Re port of the Commission appointed to certify the quantity of Rentes converted up to the last mo ment, and it does not exceed thirty millions, representing a capital of 600,000,000 francs, or 24 millions sterling. As the whole of the. con. vertihle debt amounts to more than five times this sum, it is unnecessary to add that there has been a complete and signal failure. The idea of pay ing off the dissentients is too ridiculous to be entertained by any man who has not taken out his diploma of Financier in the hotel des Incur ables. What increases too the disgrace of the transaction is the fact that the greater part of the conversions was compulsory, having been effected by persons holding places, more or less lucrative, at the will of the Minister; and we may, there fore, estimate the quantity of voluntary conver sions at not much more than ten or twelve mil lions sterling. If this be not, therefore, a signal failure, we can only say there never was one in the whole history of financial trans actions. Of this we are certain, that in this country it would be considered as such ; a nd were even the assents and dissents equally balanced, instead of being as one to twelve, we are persuaded no English Minister would venture to persevere. - -When the Chancellor (.f the Exchequer undertook a financial operations of a similar character, though not of equal magni tude, we mean the conversion of our fives into fours, he would never haVe dreamt of carrying it through if the assents had not exceeded the dis sents. But of what use would perseverance be on the part of the .French Government, unless it could find means to pay off the dissentients ? It might raise a loan of ten millions, nay, by excessive manoeuvring, one of seventy millions sterling, at 4 per cent•; but one, however slightly exceeding this amount, would be highly pro blematical; and a proposal to raise a sum equal to the emergency would be indignantly scouted from cute end of Europe to the other. How then is M. de Villele to get out of the dilemma ? Not by a loan certainly ; and we know only of one way, and that is by resigning a situation, for which, either from overweening vanity, or down right ignorance, he has shewn himself so utterly unfit. It is only upon great occasions, like this, that the talents of a Minister can be duly appre ciated ; for, in the common routine of affairs, his interference is scarcely necessary, though he has the whole credit of impelling and guiding the State-machine. [MORNING HERALD.] The lawyers are as indignant as the Mendicity Society at our late allusions to them ; and are so scandalized at what we have said about their supposed bickerings and wranglings in Court, that - they have prevailed upon one or two of our contemporaries to take up their' defence. Those defenders would fain have the world believe that there is not a shadow of truth in what we have said ; that they are all blandness and urbanity to each other ; that they actual ly - overflow with the milk of human kindness, and that, as to a Learned Judge's intimation of leaving a particular Circuit in disgust, if he leaves it at all, it will be from a very different motive. There are two things which must he always gratifying to a public writer—the one, to find that his animadversions are felt in the quar ter where they are intended to apply ; the other, to be set right where he has been unintentially wrong. We may have been wrong.in attributing to the late Sir S. Romilly a greater amenity of temper than he really possessed—not that we envy the spirit which corrects. such an error. That we are wrong, however, in speaking of the unseemly contests which - are . , for ever going on between Learned Advocates in our Courts, we wholly deny. The practice is as notorious as the sun at noon-day, and is the subject of as marked and general reprobation as any thing we know. To say then that such things do , not exist, is an assertion which will meet. but with few, if any, believers. In our observations upon the subject we did not mean to allude to the Northern Circuit in particular ; though what was said to have occurred there, gave - rise to our remarks. As we are compelled to recur to this subject, we will go a little farther than we had previously done, and will assert our firm conviction, that the law, generally speaking, as it is practised in this country, is any thing but a liberal profession,. attaching to that term the high-minded honourable ideas which are necessarily implied by it. The whole, or at least the greater part of its practitioners are merely grasping at emolument, regardless too often of what is due to their own characters, and the real interests of those whose concerns are intrusted to their care. We have no doubt but that this bold assertion will give mortal offence to some; but we make it advisedly, and are too well convinced that its truth will find a sad corroboration in the minds of many of our readers. In fact. so totally devoid of feeling are, the professors of the law become, that they spare neither friend nor foe, age or sex, poverty or wealth. The enormous charges of' one part of them know no bounds, while the zeal of the advocate is for the most part prompted only by the amount of the fee. And.what is the result of all this Seifiduicss among the latter, but the very practice we are called to account for condemning ? When self-respect is lost, every other right feeling—including, of course, respect for others—soon follows. There are, we have no doubt (indeed we know it), men of highly hettourable feelinas in the profession, men who k now t h e trut h' of what we say, - and who shrink with disgust at the practices we al lude to. Let such men unite in setting their faces against every act unbecoming the character of a gentleman in others, and they will soon by their example bring about a reform which is as loudly called for as any we are aware of. But do not let us hear of learning and liberality merely as topics of cant, while every day's exile rienCe sh ows h ow to t a lly th e one , if i t ex i s t s a t all, fails to produce the other. A most extraordinary instance of preservation was discovered a few days s;nce, in repairing some of th e vaults of St. Martin's Church, in this city. Oa opening a lead coffin, wherein were deposited, 85 years ago, the remains of the Rev. Mr. heron, rector of the parish, the body was found as perfect as when it was deposited in the tomb, the flesh yielding to the touch, and recovering its smooth ness when the finger was removed ; a napkin wrapped round the head, and the shroud cover ing the corpse, were as white and uninjured as if they had come from a drapees s hop.-.--(Pllirnoullt and Bxeter tizette.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, AUG►. 8. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL v. THE MAYOR AND CORPORA- TION OF WARWICK. Mr. SISADWELL appeared in support of this petition, which prayed that the Corporation might be ordered to pay to the pe titioner his salary for the performance of his clerical duties. Mr. HART opposed the petition. His LORDSHIP asked whether there was any objection to a refererce to a Master. _ _ Mr. HART did not object to a reference, and therefore His LORDSHIP referred it to the Master of the vacation, to inquire by whom, as far as the same could be made to appear, the assistant Vicar was appointed from time to time, with liberty to state special circumstances, and any part oldie evidence which either party might require to be stated for the subsequent infor mation of the Court. It was extremely hard that this gentle man should not be paid. IN THE MATTER OF AIIDDLETON., A LUNATIC. Messrs. Smith, Lambert, and Co. of Lincoln's Inn, were em ployed to present two petitions in this matter against Mr. Gar land, with respect to his costs. It appeared that he was the So licitor of all parties in the matter for a considerable time, and that he had taken a private bond from the committee of the lu natic's person and estate, to indemnify him against any costs he should not be allowed in the Master's office, upon his general bill of costs against the lunatic's estate. Mr. lInaNE appeared for the petitioner, and Mr.: LOVATT in opposition. _ _ _ The Lotto CHANCELLOR expressed himself in warm terms against this practice. Much had been said by his predecessors against solicitors acting in a cause for all parties, and it was to be hoped that such a practice was now very near an end. No thing could require more anxious jealousy on the part of the Court than to see that a solicitor conducted himself properly in a case where he appeared as the solicitor for the committee of the person of the lunatic, for the committee of the estate, for the next of kin, and for the heir-at-law, when in fact it was almost absolutely necessary that different solicitors should be employed for the different parties, the interest of one being to charge the lunatic's estate with as much as possible, and the interest of an other to charge it with as little as possible. It had been said, a soliCitor had been known to state to his client that be would not be concerned in a matter unless upon an ender -sanding that he was not to have his bill of costs taxed; now, if ever such a case occurred again, this Court would certainly consi der it the duty of every Court of Justice to say, that that solici tor should never be allowed to have another client to be con cerned for. And what was the effect of the bond (before men tioned) here, having been given and taken, but that the solicitor said to the committee of the estate, `• You shan't tax my bill of costs, because it is a matter of indifference to me whether I am paid out of the estate or out of your pocket.. Out of one or the other I must be paid." This understanding having affected, and run through the whole of this case, it had visited the whole; and, therefore, upon general principles and public policy, the Court felt imperatively called upon to make in this matter a very special order; and lest that order should in any way be mistaken, his Lordship would pen it with his own hand. A very important circumstance more arose here, which was, that there appeared to have been balances due to the estate upon the accounts, at different times, hut that not a shilling had been paid into Court. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, AUG. 4. BADDErtsLEY AND OTHERS V. POZrIEROY. This case was heard on Friday at great length before his HONOUR. It was an application to supersede.a commission of bankrupt, alleged to have been concerned between the de fendant, his father, and brother-inAaW. A vast number of affidavits were filed by both parties, each directly swearing against the other. His fl ONO it, after expressing his dissatis faction at the trial by affidavit, took time to consider. He that morning delivered judgment, and recapitulated the facts ; but as they will be again before the public in another'shape we forbear to give them. He expressed his decided opinion, that there was perjury on one side or the other, if not both, and after some few remarks, directed an issue to try the question, of whether it was a concerted bankruptcy. No other case of importance occurred. BARTHOLOMEW FAIR. A Moeting of the City.Liintis Committee took place at Guildhall on Saturday, for the purpose, amongst other subjects, of takins , into consideration that - ofletting the ground in Smithfield to the several applicanttfor situations on which to erect buildings for the exhibition of pantomimes, interludes, giants, dwarfs, wild beasts, &c. &c. Before the last Court of Common Council took place, many applications had been made, the report that efforta were making to put down the fair altogether having, we understand, caused a great stir amongst the various managers. A petition - signed by forty licenced vic tuallers, resident within the immediate. neighbourhood' of Smithfield, was presented to the Committee. It stated that the petitioners had paid heavy premiums for their hOuies, in conse quence of the advantages derivable from the annual fair, and that if the fair were removed, or any prevention were offered to the usual exhibitions, the property of those houses would. be so much injured as to cause the ruin of the petitioners. In the committee, we are informed, the representations made of the manner in which the different interest:, concerned in the letting of the ground would be affected, made considerable im pression. riThe general feelitig amongst the members was, that the fair was a very great nuisance, and that the theatrical booths ought to be suppressed,-that the encouragement given to thieves by-the great facilities afForded in a large space crowded with persons of all descriptions, assembled tocsether principally by the fascination of the shows, was a sufficient argument of itself against the practice of letting the ground to the owners of shows. It was also argued, that the petition of the licensed victuallers was in itself a proof that the fair was the means of leading to other indulgencies besides the innocent amusements of looking at all the wonderful things exhibited in and upon the theatrical buildings-=that the publicans de rived so large " a profit from the sale of spirits and beer during .the four days, as to lead them to apprehend that .the loss cf those four days devoted to the celebration of the Saint, would not only injure, but actually destroy them and their families. This latter argur - )ent was looked upon by some as conclusive, but denied by others, who insisted that the public-houses in the fair and its vicinity were al. ways conducted with the greatest regularity upon the occa sion ; that no scenes of riot took place in them, and that they were cleared of all visitors at the time prescribed for closing houses of the kind. After considerable discussion, it was. re solved that the ground should be let as hitherto has been the case. The Lord Mayor, we u nderstand, objected, a s lm had done in the Court of Common Council, to the numerous exhi bitions, as tending to excesses in drinking, and other kinds of debauchery. /le deprecated, at the same time, the idea of abridging the pleasurq c of the lower orders, so far as those pleasures were not blended with the mischievous materials which were to be seen in such abundance in Bartholomew fair, The arguments against the _proposal to let the ground were certainly, in his opinion, very strong; but as the Corpo ration had pledged themselves to discuss the question most fully upon a future occasion, and as it was a subjeat which he found from the number of interests concerned required deep attention, he approved of the intention of the Committee not to deviate from the usual plan upon the present occasion: We believe that although the prohibition of shows, &c. is not to be enforced, the fair will cut .but an indifferent figure as to dramatic spectacle. Each succeeding year cuts off a certain portion of the area ; a nd this year, • we have re ason t o t hi n k, will introduce the pruning knife even more unceremoniously. It is whispered that Mr. Wombwell will be denied the op portunity of exhibiting poor Nero and Wallace, as his conduct has excited the utmost disgust in the city. THE MuttATs.—Within a few days, two sons of the late King of NAPLES, ACHILLES and NA eor.coN MurtAT, made at the Prothonotary's Office of the Court of Common Pleas of this county, the necessary declaration of their inten tion, preparatory to their becoming citizens of the United States.
