THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Rriract! from the Morning Paperl,Aug.24,lB2s. [MORNING eosT.] We received last night by Express French Papers to the 22d inst., and the &ode of Mon day. Information of Lord Cochrane's intended expedition to Greece had reached Paris, and produced general satisfaction. The Journal des Debate expresses itself on the subject in the fol lowing manner :—" The London Journals an noUnce an important event 4.hich may perhaps save Greece. The celebrated Admiral, Lord Cochrane, has terminated the negociation long !ince commenced with the Greek Committee re specting a naval expedition of which this skilful Commander has traced the plan, and the prepara tions for which are already far advanced. It is to consist of a squadron of steam vessels of. a large dimension, to destroy the Turkish fleets. They will be accompanied by other vessels, and Lord Cochrane is to command the ex pedition in person. The Greek Committee takes its expences upon itself. We hope that this project will be carried into execution with the promptitude which circumstances require. It is noble thus to see the inventions of learned Europe applied to contend with 'Barbarism, and to deliver oppressed nations. The use of vessels navigating without the aid and even against the force of winds, cannot fail to produce great results in a sea bestrewed with islands and shoals. With what stupid astonishment will not the Turks look upon those-machines l which will appear to them inventions from Hell ! It. was cannon, employed by the ancient Turks, then intelligent and cou rageous, which created the preponderance of the Ottoman Empire under the Amuraths and Soli mans ; may steam-vessels effect the expulsion of the degenerated Mussulmen !" The Conslilu tionnel, is equally gratified and sanguine : " We have no doubt." it says, " that in a very little while Lord Cochrane will destroy the whole of the Ottoman navy, even if it should be rein forced by that of Austria. The talents of that skilful sailor have been useful to more nations than one : but they will never have been con secrated to a nobler cause." This expedition in fact, though only the act of individuals, is one which will do immortal credit to our country. [TILE TIMES.] Lord Cochrane did not leave town till Mon day, on the morning of which day he took leave of the Greek Agents. his Lordship spQaks in terms of the greatest confidence respecting the success of the cause. His plan of operations has been,warrnly approved of : and such was the im portance attached to the acquisition of his un rivalle4 naval skill and undaunted courage, that as soon as the negociation between his Lordship and the Greek agents was brought to a, success ful termination, a messenger was sent off to Greece with the satisfactory intelligence. The following is an extract of a letter, dated Copenhagen, Aug. 13 : " According to accounts from Stockholm, M. Alvarado, Spanish Charge d'Agiiires in that city, has presented two notes to his Excellency Count Watterstedt, relative to the sale of se veral Swedish ships of war, destined, as M. Alvarado conceives, to reinforce the Colombian marine. The first of these notes not being expressed. in very clear or precise terms, an evasive answer was returned ; but the succeeding one was couched in much ,stronger and more definite language, on which a reply was transmitted from the Swedish 'Minister for Foreign Affairs, in which he stated that he must decline all further explanation to M. Alvarado, until the latter had received express orders on. the subject from his•Government."—(lbid.) {THE PUBLIC I.F.DGE:::7 There are letters in town from Constantinople of the 21st ult. addressed to a first-rate house in the Turkey Trade. They confirm the rumour, which before rested only upon loose authority, of the Porte having refused the mediation of the Great European Powers. The refusal is said to have been made in the most peremptory, though not in offensive, terms. This intelligence, per haps the forerunner of great events, can yet surprise no one, who has studied the character of that Power, which with a proverbial confi dence in its own resources, entertains an incur able distrust of the Christian Governments ge nerally—a distrust which. recent . circumstances have rather confirmed than weakened. As the events, too, of this campaign have, upon the, whole, served to fortify the Porte in its high opinion of its own means, we see no chance of. the offer succeeding better a second time, even if the dignity of the Great Powers would allow them to try the experiment again. Ali prospect of an accommodation being effected in this way between theG reeks and Turks having disappeared, the next question is, how will the Governments, who have seen their mediation all but scornfully. rejected, act in the next place ? The course that resentment would suggest, would be to sebstltute armed interference for mediatory offices ; but there .. are many objections to this. course, of which the most obvious is, the difficulty of agreeing among themselves ; and thus their jealousy of one another is likely to save the Porte from. this danger. It is therefore probable, that they will take no formal notice of the proceed ing; though it will be, no doubt, stored up in the breasts of one rr more of them, to be brought fonyard hereafter, as occasion may require. [ERITISII PRESS.] The accusations which have recently been brought .against St. George's Hospital, for the culpableaud injudicious treattneat.of its patients, have very strongly.arrested the public attention: we trust they will be followed up by that.thornugh investigation . on the, part of, the. Goventors which such. Aiscreditable publicity calls for. The case brought forward a few weeks since by. Mr. Bailey. was oue of very considerable: interest, and tbe. public were by no means satisfied:with the m anner in which it was disposed of. . This unfavourable impression was not likely to be allayed tj th e evidence given on the inquest taken on the body of Wiiii.Tity !or, which appeared in the publid , prints of yesterday. The jury reprobated, and dp. servedly, the inhuman conduct of the- nurse .Arm• strong, and of the man Allen ;:and :finally agreed that the Coroner should lay a representation of the case before the Beard ) which. they felt satisfied would lead to their dismissal. We hope their anti cipated result will follow, and that this will not add one more to the many cases•of a similar na ture which, after being slurred over with a formal investigation, have been suffered to die away and be forgotten. Whatever tends to destroy the confi dence of the public in the interior management of those Institutions which the public charity sup ports, is a serious evil, and nothing can tend more effectually to this end than the impression which some late Inquests on the bodies of hos pita! pa'tients has very generally created, that the benevolent object of these Charitable Institutions are pe'rverted by neglect or improper manage ment on the part of the physicians, and by the cruelty or carelessness of the nurses, to . whom the care of the sufferers are entrusted. In every hospital the kindness of the attendants is of the very last importance towards accelerating the recovery of those under their care. If unfeeling nurses are appointed to various offices alloted to them in these chambers of death—for such are the wards of an hospital— all the purposes of such an establishment are frustrated, and the generous contributions which uphold it are worse than thrown away. The Go vernors cannot have their eye over this class of attendants—the very nature of their du ties places them out of the reach of observation. It becomes, from this circumstance, indispensa ble that only such persons should be appointed to such offices, whose natural disposition is patient and humane, and who from principle are a law unto themselves. In by far too many instances, we fear, those situations are filled without much previous care as to the fitness of the persons ap pointed to them. We earnestly hope that the facts which the late inquests have disclosed may put the Governors of these establishments on the alert; it is a duty which the public have a right to expect should be much better discharged than it appears to be. Our public hospitals are sup ported at a very heavy ex pence, and they incur a deep responsibility who assume the office of su perintendents without fulfilling, as they ought, the trust that is reposed in them. [MORNING HERALD.] A Correspondent, who has lately travelled through most of the West and Southern parts of the country, and who had good means of ascer taining the truth of what he asserts,, informs us that he was sorry to find, in many quarters, heavy complaints of a great decay and falling off in the hospitality, and other kind and friendly feelings, which heretofore used to attach all ranks of people to a resident Gentry : that among too many of this rank of society a few set and showy entertainments have taken the place of the substantial fare and the hearty welcome which used to distinguish the halls and man sions of our ancestors; - while, by a miserable and short-sighted economy, the country trades man is deserted for the more opulent one in London ; and the horn of ale, which used to wel come every corner of a lower degree, is now en tirely disused. The consequence is, that any thing like attachment is fast subsiding, and fste feel that both the 'Squire and the Peer trtikhOts well pass the whole year in Portman square, and at Fishmonger's-hall, if they only tali‘,.into the country the manners and habits of the one, with the morals of the other. If this be a true picture (which to a certain degree, at least, we fear it is), it presents one of those signs of the times which it is 'impossible to contem plate without apprehension and regret. Fur the innocence and simplicity of a country life, either as described by poets or pictured by youlhful imaginations, we do not look ; but, on the ty ther hand, to see the vices of the Metropolis, ri a ''. among these, the cold-blooded misanthropy fi l f , o ie gaming-table, carried into scenes which have hitherto been exempt from them, is a me lancholy - prospect for the rising generation. All this is in a great degree the result of the money-making system of the late war, and the taxation it gave rise to, which has expelled persons of moderate incomes from the soil, and has, in too many instances, supplied their places with persons whose wealth is their only acquirement, and whose only ambition is how to excel each other in those pursuit's, which, in the end, add but little to their own happiness and reputation or to the national character. We do not say that there are not still many among our resident gentry who are the opposite of this description—many who do still maintain the good old habits of their ancestors, and who do sedulously cultivate the best principles and examples ; but unfortu nately we fear such instances are fast diminish ing, and unless this rank of society see in time the error (to call it no worse) which they are falling into, and the importance of retrieving the ground which they have lost, a severance will hale taken place between them and their dependents which it may take ages to re-estab lish. The connecting links which hold _man . tOgetlier in society are no where wore visible or important than in the union which ought to elcift between the resid e nt gentry of this country and their neighbours, tenants, , and de pendants. In Ireland we see the want of it ; ,for notwithstanding all the fine-spun theory of Mr. M'Culloch may suggest to the contrary, the dis advantage to Ireland of an absentee aristocracy is,too apparent to be doubted. A similar evil will, in a great degree, 4e experienced here, should the circumstances we allude to continue to exist, and to extend themselves. We fear that. the immorality of the country is already greater than that of the metropolis, and it is not likely to, be otherwise while cold reserve and selfishness are permitted to take the place of those habits of condescension and kindness which used to distinguish the English Country Gentleman from the corresponding. character every where else. [NEW TIMES.] We give in another part of the paper an ae cdunt of a trial in Cork of two persons accused of the murder of the Franks family in that court try—(see THE SUN of yesterday). The details of that murder were to the last degree hideous. A father, mother, and son had their skulls beaten in with crow-bars—a pitchfork was driven . through the body of the son by thirty or forty persons, who passed it from hand to hand for the purpose, while a fellow remained outside on guard, who, during the butchery within, whistled a hornpipe, and danced with bloody buffoonery, in joy at the completion of the atrocity. This murder must have been participated in by 50 peo ple ; it must have been known by hundreds ; every Roman Catholic Priest within•twenty miles of it must have known the perpetration, and yet near two years have elapsed without the savages being brought to justice ! The trial of the persons, which we give, will be seen to be a mere mockery, for the witnesses for the Crown were either in timidated into perjury, or committed it designed ly to baffle the aims of justice. We notice it only because the Morning Chronicle, a few days since, was very loud in proving the superior morality of the Southern parts of Ireland over the Northern, by the greater number of convictions in the latter. Now, with all deference to our contemporary, if in a particular district witnesses be deterred from giving evidence—if a murder remains unpunished, though half a County know of it—if people be murdered, with a sort of Cherdea barbarity, because they dared to ap pear in a. Court of Justice as witnesses against murderers (which was the cause of the slaughter of the Frankses), nothing can be more certain► than that convictions will be more rare in such countries than in civilized communities We shall suppose that in New Zealand, where eating people's neighbours is a customary amuse ment, or in New Orleans, where a black fellow may be thonged to death for pastime every now and then, executions are still more uncommon ; but we must protest against the idea which makes the punishment of crime, and not crime itself, the standard of the morality of a country. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Some time ago we copied from the Irish Pa pers into our columns, a charge delivered to the Grand Jury of the county of Carlow, at the late Assizes by Lord Norbury, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in Ireland.— Thai charge is well Calculated to impress the -public mind with a sense of the inconvenien cies arising out of the tenure by which judi cial places are held in these countries. Here we have a man, full fourscore years of age, pre siding in a Court of Justice instituted for deter; mining upon the most solemn and important in terests of the . community, a supreme Court, at whose bar men receive doom of life and liberty, and in such a Court, presiding in the character of chef or so le Judge, does lie utter the strange language which we introduced into our columns. Yet this man remains upon the Bench year after year; and there may remain so long as his de caying strength shall enable him to maintain his seat. No matter how deficient in the proper qualifications, any individual upon the Benches of the supreme Court of Justice, may shew himself; no matter whether his incapacity arise from primitive vices .of constitution, or be superinduced by age and infirmities, he will be suffered to contiime.the exercise of the judicial functions will}-what scandal soever to the general administration of justice, or detriment to individual suitors, until if becomes agreeable to himself to retire. By the recent augmentation of the salaries, and retired allowances of the Judges, it has indeed been attempted to diminish that temptation to linger upon the judgment-seat Which the avarice or necessities of individuals exposed them to ; but something remains to be done in order to secure the retirement or removal of Judges, who, incited by the lust of authority, or in defiance of public opinion, choose to continue on the judgment-seat. Prior to the famous Act of William and Mary, the Judges held their seats, durante bole placito, and, in earlier times, espe cially in the reign of James I , were frequently • dismissed at the pleasure of the Monarch, arid obliged to betake themselves to the practice of the profession in a private character. By the Act of William and Mary, however, the Judges hold their seats quamdiu se bene gesserint, and cannot be removed except upon an address to the Crown, praying such removal, from both Houses of Parliament. The practical effect flowing from this, so highly vaunted alteration in our system of Judicature, belongs to that species of mischiefs which besets popular institu tions. The two Houses have never, in a solitary case, exercised this discretionary power; so that, while liberty boast an important acquisition in having disenthralled the Judges from the capri cious dominion of the Crown, Jurisprudence has to deplore the extinction of all effective superin tendauce and controul over the Judicial Body. Up to this time, the names and shadows of things have been in a degree of esteem, and exercised an in fluence over men's imaginations and ccnduct,which the growing intelligence and more sound views of the people will, if we mistake not, soon de stroy.T he paramount importance of a well digested systent of judicature is beginning_th be properly apprehended ; and we may assure ourselves that the absence of all visitatorial power over the Judges, constitutes one of those mischiefs which must be abated within no very long period. The Legislature would, no doubt, adopt the means pointed out for the removal of a Judge, if a clear act of corruption, or other palpable and unequi vocal crime were proved against him ; hut we are told that infirmities or vices of character, such, for example, as those displayed by Mr. Kenrick in the case of Canfor, or Lord Norbury, would not justify the strong measure of voting an Address to the Crown; no folly, no weakness, no indiscretion in the individual ; nay, not even a suspicion of sinister motives actuating him, would warrant a step so distressing to the personal feelings of the obje"ct of it. That is, if an unfit man be ele vated to the dignity of a Judge, he is not to be removed from that dignified elevation unless such a crime can be brought home to him, as would warrant his being transported as a felon ; or whipped in the House of Correction. A Judge need not be distinguished by any superior integrity of mind, or strength and acuteness of understanding, and extent of knowlege ; it is enough if he be not among the more depraved and unprincipled outcasts of society—the sound ness of his. intellects, the discretion of his deport ment, the composure of his temper, and his know ledge are !netters of trivial moment ; and, although he be found destitute of recommendation in each of those articles, to insist upon his retirement would be an act of intolerable cruelty. This ten derness to individual feelings and interests, however laudable in its origin, constitutes one of the most grievous sins of the Houses of Parliament. No consideration of public benefit is sufficient to recommend any measure for reform of any one deparment in the service of the State, unless every personal interest which may, by the remostest possibility, be affected, have been pre viously conciliated. How long has the County Court Bill, for example, been delayed, if it be not finally defeated, by the difficulty of compensating the pretended vested rights (forsooth !) with which it is apprehended to interfere ? But we would ask with what justice can the benefit of the State, be alleged to excuse the capital punishment of a wretch guilty of forgery, if the same principle be held invalid as regards the selection of the Judge who pro nounces sentence ! We care not for the amount of the Judges' pensions on retirement. We think. the country well rid of a bad or incompetent Judge at any cost ; and sure we are, that if the means exist ing for ridding us of such nuisances be not made effective, others must and will be devised. The best and dearest interests of the state are in volved in upholding the dignity and authority of its tribunals, and in attaching to them the respect and confidence of the people. Those, however, cannot survive the fallen, nay, even tarnished re. putation of the Judges, and so scum as one of the body has forfeited public esteem by any in discretion or levity of conduct, to say no worse, or that he has proved himself deficient in profes sional ability, it is essential to the advantage of the community that he cease to act. Government may be excusable for having made an ill choice of a Judge ; they are inexcusable if they do not do all in their power to correct the error so soon as it is discovered. THE ARMY.

THE MAELSTORM WHIRLPOOL. LETTER. FROM A CIENTLEIUAN IN WASHINGTON TO THE HONOURABLE A. B. WOODWARD, JUDGE OF MIDDLX FLORIDA. 4 ' This wonderful phenomenon, that has ex cited the wonder and astonishment of the world, I hare seen. There are few of my countrymen who have had the opportu nity, in consequence of the situation of it being remote from any port of commerce. Its latitude and longitude Ido not ex actly recollect. It is situated between two islands, belonging to a group off the coast of Norway, called the Low.instaff Islands, between Dronthietn (being the most northern port of commerce) and the North Cape. I suppose the latitude to be about 69 north, but will not be certain. _ _ 44 fhad occasion, some years since, to' navigate a ship from' the North Cape to Drontinem, nearly nil the way between the islands or rocks and the main. On inquiring of my Norway pilot about the practicability of running neas the whirlpool, he told , me that with a good breeze it could be approached near enough for examination without danger. lat once determined to satisfy myself. We began to near it about 10 A.M. in the month of September, with a fine leading wind N.W. Two good seamen were placed at the helm, the Mate on the quarter deck, all hands at their station fcr working ship, and the pilot standing on the bowsprit, between the night-heads. I went on the main-topsail yard, with a good glass. I had been seated but a few moments, when my ship entered the dish of the whirl pool ; the velocity of the water altered her course three points towards the centre, although she was going eight knots through the water. This alarmed me extremely for a moment, I though that destruction was inevitable. She, however, an. swered.her helm sweetly, and we run along the edge, the waves foaming round us in every form while she was dancing gaily over them. The sensations I experienced are difficult to de scribe. Imagine to yourselves an immense circle running round, of a diameter of one and a half miles, the velocity increasing as it approximated towards the centre, and gradually changing its dark blue colour to white—foaming, tumbling, rushing, to its vortex; very much concave, as much so as the water in a tunnel when half run out; the noise too, hissing, roaring,dash ing—all pressing on the mind at once, presented the most awful, grand, solemn sight, I ever experienced. " We were near it about 18 minutes, and in sight of it two hours. It is evidently a subterranean passage, that leads, the Lord knows where. From its magnitude, I s hould not doubt that instant destruction would be the fate of a dozen of our largest ships, were they drawn in at the same moment.—The pilot says that several vessels have been sucked down, and that whales have also been destroyed. The first I think probable enough, but I rather doubt the latter. " 1 have thus, Sir, given you a lame, but a true account. If hereafter I can occupy a leisure hour in detailing scenes and circumstances within my own knowledge, in the course of twenty-two years voyaging, I shall be happy, and will be amply repaid by the consciousness that I have contributed to add one motridilt's pleasure to a gentleman I so highly respect and esteein."—(itfichigan Herald.)

At the last March Term of the Court of Coal men Pleas of this county, John Bramson pea" tioned for the benefit of the Insolvent Laws. It appeared, on the hearing of his case, that in May , 1824, he opened a store at the Corner of Second-. street and Carter's-alley, for the sale of dry goods, jewellery, and hardware, where he car , . vied on business until the 22d of January last , when he made an assignment purporting to coo' vey all his property to two of his creditors, one of whom was his brother-in-law, in trust, first la pay certain favoured creditors ; seconaly, to di' vide the residue among each of his other credi tors as should within a specified time, release their debts. The debts due by the petitioner at the time of executing this assignment, and which were all contracted within about seven months,' for goods purchased by him, amounted to 35,43 5 dollars. The property which passed into th hands of the assignees was valued by himself at about 14,000 dollars, and produced about 9,00 0 . The Court, after hearing the evidence on the part of the opposing creditors and on that of the petitioner, supported respectively by the aregll' merits of Counsel, were unanimously of opini(l l that there was a strong presumption of the peti tioner having fraudulently concealed a part 0' his property, and therefore they refused to dis; charge him. At his own instance he was bout' over to the succeeding Court of Quarter Session,4s to be prosecuted under the Acts of Assembly . r " lative to insolvent debtors. At the late Sessi oll. of that Court an indi c t men t was f oun d , to whic h ' he pleaded not guilty.
