l'ilE LONDON .10UltiVALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning - Dupers, Jan. 19, 1525. [THE TIMES.] The - news which we have this day to commu nicate is of considerable importance. Our Go vernment has received dispatches from Holland, announcing that the King of that country — whether from the suggestion of his own mind, or in concert with us, or in pursuance of our ex ample previously intimated, we know not, but — that th e King of that country has determined also upon the recognition of Mexico and the South American States, and of opening a commerce with them for his Dutch subjects. Nor is this all; letters are also said to have been received from our Ambassador at Paris, which indicate that even the French Government feels a similar inclination ; and that M. Villele has addressed a note to (tile Ministers of) Ferdinand on the sub ject of our recognition of the trans-Atlantic States, conjuring his Majesty to take in good part a measure which could no longer be delayed, and not to irritate by any expression of a nuga to-ry dissatisfaction, or to waste any efforts in en deavouring to engage any other European Powers to induce Englan d to change her determination. If all this be true, as me have no doubt is the ease with the first part of it—the adhesion of the Dutch—probably our recognition of the indepen dence of the new States may not be so valorous an act as we had at first imagined ; but that the way to it may have been paved by several pre vious discussions and explanations with those who had no right to demand from us an account of our conduct. However, discretion is still the better part of valour ; and if the act of recognition has been performed by us without giving offence on the one hand, and without any humiliation of our own dignity on the other, so much the better. — The news also from South America is gratifying. By the Flora, arrived at Liverpool, letters have been received from Buenos Ayres, dated Novem ber the 14th, being six days later than the packet. They state that accounts had just been received from Chile, of a desperate engagement between Bolivar and Cantarac in the plains of fauja (but no dates are given), in which Bolivar was completely successful. Cantarnc's loss is stated at 6,200 men, and Bolivar's at 4,000, and that the latter was in full march towards Cusco. It is supposed that there is some exaggeration in the numbers lost on both sides. The dates by the Flora from Valparaiso are to the 14th of Oc tober; the previous accounts from Chile did not extend later in date than the end of September. —The Aurora frigate is said to have sailed from Valparaiso for England. The letter in which the action between Cantarac and Bolivar is re lated, was written by a partner in the house of Dixon, Montgomery, and Co., of Buenos Ayres, to their correspondent in Liverpool. It is added in another letter, that when the news of the vic tory reached Lima, the Spanish troops which were in that city immediately retired to the for tress of Callao, leaving the rabble committing all manner of depredations, until the Captain of his Majesty's ship Cambridge landed part of his crew, which had the desired effect of quelling the rioters, and protecting the lit es and properties of the respectable citizens. [Beinsll PR ESlc] It appears from the letters of our Paris Cor ;espondent, that the projet de lot: for awarding a compensation to the emigrants is pregnant with difficulties, which M. de Villele, fertile as he is in resources, seems ill able to cope with. We do not wonder at this : such a measure, at this crisis of the affairs of France, is not only most jaidged, hut is unwarranted by any principle either of justice or expediency.. It was the duty of these Royalists, at the breaking out of the Revolution, to have applied all the influence of their ptrsonal - t.ituation to sustain the cause of their Sovereign and their country ; in stead of which, they fled from the scene of conflict, and abandoned both to their fate. It was the opinion of those best versed in the affairs of that convulsed period, that if the army which might have been raised by the Royalist party, if the French Noblemen had remained in the coun try, it would have been more than sufficient to have subdued the Republican insurgents, and to have kept Louis X VI. on his throne. If they had remained in the country, they would have kept in check that insurrectionary spirit which grew ferocious beyond controul, when those who should have fought against it to the last were the first to fly before it. The Royalist forces raised at different times by some high spirited individuals, in Poitou, in Brittany, and in Anjou, sufficiently showed what might have been done, had the Nobles, whose selfish and miscalculating policy led them to emigrate, been governed by manlier feelings, and leagued thene , elves. as they might and ought to have done, to the fate and fortunes of the monarchy. No body of Men ever ,put forward a claim to indemnity with less title to have it granted. Messrs. de Villele and de Corbieres have contrived, by means of bribery, chicane, and intrigue, to secure a majo rity of the Deputies; but in what will this effec tive alliance between the Ministry and the emi grants end ? They have already introduced all the evils of faction into the Government. M. de Villele, though without any great powers of mind, is not wanting in sagacity, and has a fair share of foresight; he is well aware that the great body of proprietors will not listen to any talk of restitution ; he feels the weight of their power to be very heavy in the scale against him, and that the instant his movements indi cate any thing like a determined hostility, l ie will be found too weak to defend himself either by stratagem or force, and his fall from power is certain. Among those very emigrants who so importunately prefer their claims of compensa tion, there are a considerable number now in France, who, having served in foreign corps, raised in England, and employed by us during the revolutionary war, are, at this moment, re ceiving. balf-pay from our Government, as Lieu tenants and Capthius; while, as Colonels anti fdareschals de Camp, they are receiving full pay in France, or are holding the most lucrative civil appointments. We know that many thousand persons, long employed in the different depart ments of the State; have been dismissed, and re duced to absolute want, while the vacancies thus created have been given to the emigrant party, whose pretensions seem to increase in arrogance with every additional concession made to satisfy them. [NEW TIMES.) There was a very general report in the City yesterday afternoon, upon the authority of intel ligence received by express from Liverpool, of a vessel having arrived at that port from Buenos Ayres, which brought accounts of a victory hav ing been obtained by the Royalist General Can terac over the Independent army of Bolivar. This account, it is necessary to state, was derived from a source which had frequently before inis-led the Public, and therefore it must be received with caution, until additional information is obtained from a less doubtful quarter. What gives a degree of credit to it, how ever, is the circumstance of a sudden decline be tween 2 and 3 per cent in most of the South Ame rican Securities, which, od the contrary, were advancing in the early part of the day. Yesterday was the account day at the Stock Exchange, and the settlement passed over with out any occurrence of public interest. Consols at the close of the business were 93 ex-dividend, and for the account 94k. The South American Securities experienced a greater alteration in value than for the last few days, and the Shares of the - Mining Companies were also materially affected by the reports in circulation. The Co lombian Mining Shares were five per cent. lower. Buenos Ayres seven per cent., Brazilian to the same extent, and Chilian ten Per cent. Anglo- Chilian from 16 to 10 prem.—(Mid.) [TIIE PUBLIC _LEDGER.] An express was received yesterday from Liver pool, announcing the arrival at that port of the Flora, from Buenos Ayres, with important dis patches. She sailed on the 14th of November ; but on the same day a boat was dispatched after her, requesting the Captain to stop, as, since his departure, important news had been received from Peru, which would be transcribed as soon as possible, and sent to him on board. Such is the introductory part of the intelligence, by which no slight sensation was excited yester day in the City ; and we cannot help observing a striking coincidence between it and a former account, which had been received in a similar way, after the departure of the vessel, by which it was brought to this country, and which proved, in the sequel, to be false. We now come to the substance of the intelligence, in which it is stated, that a decisive engagement had been fought be tween Canterac and Bolivar, in the plains of Xauxa, of which the result was, the entire de feat of Canterac, with time toss of 6000 men. The entire defeat is a cold mode of expressing such a disaster; and utter annihilation would have been much better, particularly as the highest recent computation had not given Canterac more than the number we are now told, was put hors de combat. The baffle must, therefore, hare been one of the most sanguinary recorded in the annals of warfare, and far more obstinately contest ed, than any engagement in modern times.— The loss sustained by the victor, which is esti mated as high as 4000 men, supports our opinion ; and it was this dreadful carnage, no doubt, which had so much bewildered the writer of the origi nal dispatch, that he omitted affixing to it a date ! In consequence of this grave omission, we are ignorant of the day on which time action was fought ; and the uncertainty unavoidably arising from this circumstance, is increased on the whole by the place where, it is said, the battle has taken place. Xauxa is more than 100 miles to the north of Huanta, from which Bolivar's last dispatches are dated, and consequently he must have fallen back this distance, with all the disadvantages attending a retreating army, instead of engaging the enemy when he first presented himself. This is so utterly incon sistent with the military character of Bolivar, which, if it has a defect, is not that of caution, hut rather of excessive confidence, that we cannot help being struck at the apparent discrepancy.— At the same time it varies who:illy front what we had been led to believe by all preceding accounts, in which the Colombian General is represented as greatly an over-match for his adversaries, par ticularly in point of numbers. Therefore, to re concile these striking contradictions with the claims to a victory, we can only suppose that there are two places in Peru, which go by the name of Xauxa ; but even this supposition would not relieve our doubts. In the first place, we observe that the present intelligence is almost the echo of that which we gave a month since from a Baltimore Paper ; and since then, several versions of it have appeared in other American Papers. Moreover, Buenos Ayres is so cir cuitous a- route, and so liable to obstruction, par ticularly as Olaneta's dilision is interposed be tween the frontiers and Bolivar's forces, that it is impossible to think we should receive the first account of so very important an event through this channel. Should the account, however, be confirmed, we are convinced that the name of the place is given inaccurately ; and, if the legi timate cause has been annihilated in Peru, it is not in the plains of Xauxa, or we egregiously err, that a monument sill be raised to coc►unemorate its extinction. [monsiso cnaomer.E.] We have received Paris Papers of Sunday, and the Etoile dated Monday. The Courier Francais contains a paragraph, stating that valuable infor mation has been collected in France, by several Members of Parliament, on the subject of the interference of the French Jesuitical Party in the affairs of the Catholic Association ; and that docu ments of great importance, seized in Ireland, will be produced to the two Chambers when the question respecting Catholic Emancipation shall be renewed. We are somewhat incredulous as to the discovery of these documents of great importance, which are to he laid before Parliament. That the Royal Pandly of France, and the bona fide Catholics, are anxious to make converts of us, is extremely natural, and that they give all the support in their power to the Jesuits, who are now bestir ring themselves with great zeal in the endeavour to gain converts, both in Ireland and England, is no very wonderful discovery ; and we presume this is the whole amount of the Jesuital in trigues. A: sincere Catholic, who believes that all who are not Catholics must be damned, will naturally exert himself to the utmost to rescue his fellow-creatures from such a dreadful fate. All Ca tholics are not equally zealous for the conversion of their neighbours, because Catholics as well as Protestants may be little under the influence of their religion. We have no right to complain of the exercise of this zeal on the part of the French Government. Are we not every day ourselves circulating bibles with the utmost industry in all parts of the Continent ; and do not our Societies boast that, notwithstanding the strict prohibition of the Austrian Government, they have succeeded in pouring in many thousands of Bibles into the Austrian dominions ? It seems at first sight sin gular that at the present moment the Li-1 beral Papers of France should be enlisted on the side of the English Government, while those of this country are defending the Catholics. But the circumstance is easily accounted for—the liberal party in France are acquainted only with Catholic intolerance, and are not aware that there are Jesuits who do not acknowledge the Pope's supremacy. The liberal Journals in England, on the other hand, see in the Catholics only the victims of oppression and impolitic laws, and, knowing that the Pro testants have a great superiority, both of num bers and wealth, on their side, they cannot comprehend why it should be necessary for them to arm themselves with laws at variance with every principle of justice ; neither can they understand how such laws can benefit them. So far from benefiting the Protestants, this injustice is injurious to them in the extreme. Does it not. serve to divide Protestants, and to enlist the sympathies of many of them on tl►e side of those who are tl►e victims of the injustice? En the case of the Bar, for instance, who does not feel for the men who have been tempted to fol low that profession, and who are subject to the mortification of witnessing every day others in ferior to themselves in talents, and less successful with regard to practice, enabled by the profes sional honours from which they are debarred, to leave them behind ? The odium of this injustice, the pretext for which is tl►e support of Protest antism, is naturally thrown on the professors of that religion. ['MORNING HERALD.] The Lord Chancellor favours the Pitt Club with an annual or triennial speech, we forget which ; and Lord Liverpool and Mr. Canning have just conferred a similar honour upon the Corporation of Bristol. These latter orations the political quidnuncs have seized upon as con taining much important matter, not recollecting that the objects of public men, upon such occa sions, it to use a certain number of words, with es little meaning as possible. To say what no one can understaud or misunderstand, is the acme of this species of eloquence, and of which these distinguished Statesmen seem to have been fully aware.—The Premier's speech is plain and uusophistical—The Foreign Secre tary possesses more of tact and of finesse.— Each contrived to round his periods so as to leave the ear gratified, and the mind filled with an ample field for conjecture and inquiry. Mr. Canning, we believe, is a new convert to this species of tavern eloquence. There was a period (at least previous to his representing Liverpool) that he held it in sovereign contempt. It is re lated of the Right Hon. Gentleman, that on one occasion, when a large party of his admirers had drunk his health at a public meeting, and were making the walls resound with their subsequent cheers and huzzas, the orator quietly escaped during time hubbub, and whew the expected speech was looked for, the bird had flown. This was at the time when the Right Honourable Gentleman's aristocratic notions were higher than they are at present ; when he thought that popular favour was beneath the notice of a man of high connection. He has since, very wisely, profited from experience, and has disco vered, that under a popular Government the fa vour of the people is not quite so despicable a. thing as he had imagined it. He has become the popular Minister of England, and now pays grateful homage to that power which maintains him in his seat. We are little inclined to quarrel with him for any thing, and least of all for this. In fact, we admire the Whigisto of the Tories much more than we do the Toryism of the Whigs. However, Mr. Canning's ora tory at Bristol amounts to very little. Con scious, perhaps, that he was on the spot where even the eloquence of Burke himself had been unavailing, he seems to have indulged in mere common places, which, though vastly edifying, no b übt, to the eager listeners at the time, upon reflection, furnish but little information, or even subject for remark. The Right Hon. Gentle man's concluding idea, that " this country is be ginning a course of national prosperity which shall exceed all that has gone before, as much as the present exceeds all past expectation," is a happy illustration of the prevailing nothingness which necessarily pervades the species of ora tory in which he was indulging —we mean the oratory of humbug. We pity public men who cannot go to Bath to recruit their health against the commencement of the Parliamentary campaign, without being obliged to eat and talk for public amusement, at the same time that we exclaim, happy country! where Statesmen are citizens, and where the mystery of Government is within the reach of every one, and where the highest station seeks and bows to the best sinew of all just and free government—public opinion. [MORNING POST.] So many dreadful accidents occur in Coal Pits, from the combined negligence of the workmen, their overseers, and the proprietors, that as guardian of the community, we think Government justified in adopting some plan to prevent such fatal results in future. It was fondly imagined, when Sir Humphrey Davy's excellent invention, the safety lamp, first came into use, that the public would be afflicted no more by the heart rending effects of explosiOns. Speaking, how ever, without any precise data to guide our con clusion, and merely depending upon vague recol lection of the accidents which have since taken place in collieries, we believe neither in number nor horror have they much, if at all di minished. Indeed, from the habits of the workmen, this might have been expected, rather than the opposite. Before safety lamps were used, the life .or death of the colliers depended solely upon the state of the atmosphere under ground, and they could pretty well conclude, from its effects on their lights, those symptoms of danger which rendered flight and a subsequent purification of the air impera tive. This constant state of fear and precaution the employment of safety lamps has, we imagine, much deadened ; and the consequence is, that the quantity of fire damp is usually allowed to accumulate until the most trivial circumstance capable of igniting so combustible a mass oc curs ; and then explosion, with all its ap palling effects, plunges perhaps hundreds of persons into irretrievable misery. Now, in our opinion, the Legislature is equally bound to put a stop to the negligence from which such dire evils to society palpably spring, as it is bound in any other case to protect the lives and happiness of his Majesty's subjeCts. The only question, indeed, to be decided is one which must be an swered in favour of our position, viz. Can the or dinary accidents in coal-pits from explosions of fire damp be prevented ? It is notorious that they can. The safety lamp, in its present im proved construction, is perfectly adequate to en able colliers to work in an atmosphere otherwise dangerous in the extreme. But in reality it is practicable in most pits to preserve the air so pure as not to be capable of explosion ; and it is the duty of those concerned to keep it in that state of purity. The object of the safety lamp is, not that coal workers should labour always in foul air with impunity, but that any sudden increase of fire (lamp, which without the protec tion of the lamp would cause explosion, might not be attended with that shocking event. The great point therefore to aim at is, that by proper inspection and the application of proper means, the general state of the air in coal pits shall be incapable of ignition without safety lamps ; and also that should fortuitous circumstances occasion a dangerous accession of fire damp, that the condition of the mine in all ra spects shall be such as to render the safety lamp an effectual protection. That the owners, over seers, and workers of coal pits, might order things exactly in this manner, we are quite sensible ; but the melancholy details which we have so frequently to record, of the loss of lives in curred from those persons neglecting their duty to themselves and society, warrants us in pro posing, and Parliament in enacting, that the griev ance be otherwise redressed. The appointment of a competent surveyor to each coal district of a certain extent, with some appropriate provisons to enable him to discharge the functions of this office effectively, would probably correct the evil. He should of course have access to the mines at proper times, and his directions for avoiding explosions should be imperative, while he himself was responsible for his whole conduct. The owners and overseers of mines should likewise be amenable for neglect or vio lation of the Inspector's instructions to a Justice of the Peace. We are not, however, so vastly enamoured of this scheme as to believe that others as good, or much better, could not be devised.— What we wish is simply to have a great and glaring defect remedied ; and provided that be accomplished, we shall not stickle about the means by which Parliament may accomplish the desired end. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 18. This was seal day; but no motion of the least interest to the public was made in the course of it. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JAY. 18. The Court was occupied with hearing the arguments of Coun sel on a motion for the new trial of an issue arising out of a tithe cause of no public interest. His HONOUR postponed his judgment. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 18. TANNER V. BENNETT AND OTHERS. This an action on a policy of insurance, for a total loss by perils of the seas. The defendants pleaded the general issue. The policy was effected on the ship Margaretta, from Lon don to St. Thomas's, and until the ship should be moored there twenty-four hours in good safety. In the Downs the vessel re ceived a small injury, but was immediate l y repaired, and pro ceeded on her voyage. When she had nearly reached her port ofdestination, in the night she struck on a rock called the" Three Sisters," the wind blowing from the shore. In two hours she was got off, but made much water; and after the sacrifice of part of the cargo, she was towed into the harbour of St. Thomas's_ There, according to the testimony of the captain and mate, appli cation was made to two sets ofsurveyors,who severally condemned her as incapable of repair, in the then state of the port and country. On this opinion the captain sold such parts as he could dispose of ; and after ineffectual attempts to sell the hull, allowed it to be sunk. On the part of the plaintiff, it was con tended, that as the vessel received " a death-wound" before her arrival at St. Thomas's, the loss was within the terms of the policy, and they were entitled to recover. On the part of the defendants it was contended—first, that that the loss occurred by reason of the negligence of the captain ; second, that it did not appear that the death wound of the ship, if so it was considered, was given before her arrival ; and third, that the vessel might have been repaired at St. Thomas's, and that consequently the plaintiffs could neither claim as for a total loss, nor ascertain the amount of' average. To support this last ground of defence, several experienced captains were called, who described the harbour of St. Thomas's as affording 1 ample facilities for repairing ships of greater burden than the Margaretta, and the neighbouring islands as abounding with wood for the purpose. The Loup CHIEF JUSTICE first addressed the Jury on the claim for the total loss, and said that there were two points lof view, in either of which the law was clearly in favour of the d e fendants—if they thought the accident arose from the negli gence or misconductof the Captain ; or if they thought the vessel might have been repaired, and that the omission to repair arose from his fault or that of the agents of the plaintiff. There were two other views of the case, in either of whichhe should recommend them to find a verdict for the plaintiff, but should request them to state the special grounds of their finding, that the law, which was possibly yet unaccertained, might become the subject of discus sion in the Court above. These views were—if they thought the vessel, having received an injury before her arrival from the perils of the seas, might have been repaired, but was not repaired in consequence of the misconduct of strangers ; or if they thought she could not have been repaired at St. Thomas's, but might be repaired in any of the adjacent islands. Thus much for the question of total loss ; but, though the declaration claimed such loss, still a verdict for a partial loss might be given. As to the slight injury in the Downs, he thought, after the manner in which the case had been litigated, and in the absence of all evidence as to its extent, the Jury ought scarcely, in respect to such damage, to give a verdict which would cast on the defend ants all the costs. Tint if they put out of the question the total loss, and yet thought the injury done to the ship did not arise from the misconduct of the captain, they might find for the plaintiff an average loss, if they could in any manner ascertain the degree of damage done before the arrival of the vessel. The - Jury retired - for an hour, and then returned with a ver dict for the plaintiff; expressing, however, their opinion that the vessel might have been repaired at St. Thomas's, and that the repair was prevented by the plaintiff's agents. They found the plaintiff, therefore, entitled to recover as for an average loss; and the extent of that average they had no means of ascertaining. . . Mr. ScZtLETT contended, that under these circumstances the verdict ought to pass for the defendants, as it was the duty of the plaintiff, claiming average, to show its amount. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, howeVer, thought the plaintiffs entitled to nominal damages ; and accordingly the verdict was entered for him—Damages Is. The case has been tried before, when a general verdict was given for the plaintiff. CORONER'S INQUEST. THE FATAL BOXING MATCH AT CHALK FARM. Yesterday at three o'clock a respectable Jury assembled at Mr. Spark's, the Chalk-farm-tavern, to inquire into the death of John Stone, a young man, who was killed in a pitched battle - on Sunday morning last, in that neighbour hood. After hearing the evidence, the Coroner and Jury viewed the body, which presented a shocking spectacle : on their return to the Jury-room, Mr. STIRLING addressed them to the following effect :—Gentlemen, I think it necessary to make a few obser vations on this case, and on a practice which, of late, has been pronounced by the first legal authorities to be illegal—a prac tice which in itself is disgraceful to society, and only encou raged by the most debased of mankind. Having made this allu sion, you, I am sure, will perfectly understand I mean the prac tice of prize-fighting. If a sudden quarrel arise between two men, which is decided by boxing directly, although, perhaps, not al together legal, yet they cannot be supposed to have any malicious -motive; and if one be killed, the law humanely takes the sud denness of the circumstance into consideration, and gives the accused the full benefit of it. But, Gentlemen, if in a public"' house, or elsewhere, two men are matched to fight for money, at a distant given time, and enter a ring where a ring is pre pared, to fight this pitched battle, although they may not use murderous weapons, yet, if one or other be killed, most un doubtedly, in my opinion, it is wilful murder, and comes within the meaning of the statute; and to such an extent has this disgraceful system gone, that it rests with you, if you think the man died not from exhaustion, to return such a ver dict as will bring all the parties before another tribunal. lam informed, that of late the practice of prize-fighting has been carried on every Sunday in this neighbourhood, and the local • authorities will, I trust, by a summary process, prevent a re currence of such disgraceful scenes. The Coroner concluded his remarks, by stating the distinction of the law as regards murder and manslaughter, and called upon them, on the evi dence, to find one or the other. The Jury remained in deliberation for half an hour, and on returning, The Foreman said, " Mr. Coroner, we have found a verdict_ of Manslaughter against Joseph l'acker ; and against Cum mins, Saunders, Adams, and Hearne, the seconds and bottle holders, as accessories ; and the jury fully concur in the pro priety of checking the practice of prize-fighting." The CORONER—Gentlemen, 1 cannot receive your verdict in that form : the persons accused must all be guilty alike ; they are all equally culpable ; nay, even more so than the principal. The Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a ver dict of " Manslaughter" against all. Packer surrendered on Monday, and is in Clerkenwell prison.
