TIIE LONDON JOCItNA,LS. DA I xtracts from the Morning Papers, Jlcttc 25,1815 [THE TIMES.]' The manner in which Private Bills have been managed in Committees has long been subject of complaint. ; indeed, we might add, has long been notorious for its injustice. A Select Committee has sat on the• subject, and has now made its re port. This report, remarks, that some portion of the existing evil springs from the conduct of par ties out of the House, who are interested in the Bill, from their endeavours to protract a deci sion, and to ruin each other by expence. These, then, are mischiefs, sfe say, which should be remedied by Parliament, no less than tke conduct of its own Members, belonging to, or having the power to attend Private Commit tees. Among the schemes proposed for improving the organization of Committees on private Bills„J a .ballot for the Members simi lar to that by which Committees on elections are formestiniis - eerned the most obvious ; but to this the report states several reasonable objec tions,.and recommends another system which we should think operose. A new division of coup • ties is to be formed, and to the me►nbers for the place or county from w hence the Bill emanates sixty members from contiguous counties are to be added ; and to these, again, sixty other mem bers taken indiscriminately in the house; and from this aggregate it is hoped that a sufficient number will be found to attend and watch ti►e proceedings during the whole period of the bill's commitment, no voice being allowed to others. Vie know not whether this plan will succeed, but we are sure that the mischief of the existing system should be promptly and effectually re moved. - ,Public grievances all can denounce, but private wrongs are the more afflicting, because they must he borne in silence, and but few sym pathize with the sufferers. [NEW TIMES.] The Equitable Loan Bill was, on the third reading last night, thrown out of the House of Lords. Giving full credit to the original devisers of this measure for benevolence of intention, we confess we have always viewed its progress with alarm.. It apprared to us calculated to interfere most prejudicially with private trade ; and it un doubtedly might 'have been converted into our of the most sweeping monopolies ever yet establish ed. A popular cry was raised in its favour, by the plea of 'upersediiig the Pawnbrokers, who were represented as an unjust and extortionate body of men. We have never shared in this prejudice, because we think it self-evident that in a country like England the mere principle of competition is sufficient to keep •down the profits of every class of tradesmen to their pro per level. But even if the pawnbroking branch of the Equitable Loan Bank Society had been in oar opinion justifiable, we should never have approved of investing an immense Corporation with powers which would have enabled them to spread their operations to a much wider extent. At least, if they do so, let them do it by means of those faculties only which belong to all private traders, and not come to Parliament for the aid of any superior privilege. Under the new Jaw for repeal of the Bubble Act, the undertakings of private individuals (not indictable at Corn ton Law) Kill be legal ; but then the parties joining in them must hear an individual liability for the debts of the concern. The Equitable Loan Bank then may go on as a private part nership ; but we apprehend that the failure of the attempt to procure a Parliamentary sanction will be very likely to put a stop to the measure altogether. lo the House of Commons, the Pe. tltion against Mr. Kenrick came under considera tion, and the examination of the petitioner took place before the House in Committee. The evi dence was ordered to be printed, and the further discussion of the matter will be ienewed on Mon day next. [MORNING POST.] In both Houses of Parliament, last night, a Petition was preßenteti from that. highly respect able Gentleman Mr. Montague 13urgoytte, who in his general endeavours to do good, is now acting as Churchwarden of Sutton, in Bedfordshire, asking for some means of obtaining redress against the Rector of that Parish, who has been guilty of a series of scandalous and immoral acts. t.ap peared by the statement of a Reverend Prelate, that his utmost efforts to punish that indi vidual, although attended with great expence to himself, had failed, through the insufficiency of the power granted to Bishops in their own Diocese, and through the peculiar limitations of the law. It is to be hoped that f-o afflicting a precedent will have no imitators, but still it is necessary that something should be done to prevent the possible recurrence of such disgrace to the Church and in jury to-the Public.—The Commons' went into a Committee to hear evidence against Mr. Kenrick, the Welsh Jude, who has been the object of so much vituperation both in and, out., Of the nouse. The . mountain in labour, however, ouce more brought forth a mouse. A more flimsy case than that attempted to be made by the chief Wit nesa against that Magistrate, it is impossible to conceive. had the Honourable Mover suf fered candour to prevail over pertinacity, he would.: have. immediately dropped the matter, whin he became fully aware (we cannot possibly suppos# tbat'lte was so before), of the total want of rtiundation of his charge. As it is, although every Member seemed quite satisfied on the sub ject,,tleyvidence has been ordered to be printed the Lettery thing may he done according to forms, andqh6 ....01-tirn4te decision is postponed to next Morgal., .111 the House of Lords the Equitable Loatt Bill met its fate with a degree of ease which was . Hot anticipated, from the hard and protracted struggle which it had previously made for „existence. The Lord- Chancellor having .declared his conviction. that the propos ed Company was illegal, aod.that nothing but • a charterfrom the Crown or an act of incorpora tion.frnra Parliament could give it the legality whicii it wanted and the , Public and the Mein. 1)2r; themselves the security which they ought to have, the House adopted his sentiments. '!'he matter however was pressed to a division, and the Lord Chancellor's amendment, that the Bill be read . a third time that day three months, was carried by a majority of 47 - to 14. [MORNING CIIRONICLE.] Yesterday was a close holiday both at the English and Foreign Markets. At an early hour the brokers and jobbers assembled on the Royal Exchange, but up to one o'clock there were very little business reported in the English Funds. Consols for Account were 911 buyers.—[n the Foreign Stocks the attraction had been Mexican Scrip, which from 21- discount advanced to 2, with a firm appearance ; it is now, however, re ported a shade lower. Colombian Bonds 88 ; Greek Scrip continued heavy, on account of un favourable reports, at 112 discount; Spanish Bonds 23 to 23t ; the reports respecting a loan were subsiding. In the other Foreign Stocks there was very little variation.—ln shares the chief purchases are of Anglo-Chilian Mining, which have advanced to 34, with much business doing. [MORNING HERALD.) The House of Commons is making a step to wards self:-reform, if not in its constitution, at least in its interior economy. A Report has been presented upon the glaring abuses in pri vate Committees, and Mr. Littleton has pro posed a plan for their prevention. The devised plan is far from complete even in promise, and the Committee itself seemed to look no farther than mitigating the evil. A new distribution of counties is to be made for framing Committees on Private Bills, on such a scale as to hold out some probability of a sufficient miscellany of English, Scotch, Irish, and locally disinter ested Members. At the same time the system of beating up for recruits in the environs, is to be got rid of, by no longer allowing votes to those who are not of the Committee. But still the appointment is by nomination, not. ballot.— The latter is undoubtedly the only impartial mode. Is it by it that the disputed elections are settled with any fairness. The hardship upon Members, and the difficulty of obtaining attendance, are scarcely adequate objections. Matters quite of as much importance to the public as a disputed re turn, and demanding as much impartiality—if not more—are sure to be submitted in the form of Private Bills. Another evil for which no reme dy seems suggested is, that carrying a Private Bill which is opposed,is like carrying a contested elec tion, mainly a trial of disposable funds between the parties. It is evident that a Bill of the utmost public use may be retarded or defeated, if the adverse party be sufficiently rich, and strenuous in opposition. Again another evil, perhaps not easy -of remedy, is the frequency of applications on matters of private enterprise, or interest to the Legislature. The number of Laws, public and private, enacted during a Session, is truly astound ing. They are so many, that a plain matt who considers the matter can hardly expect to put one foot before the other, without infringing upon some Act of Parliament. [BRITISH PRESS.] If the Edinburgh Review diminishes in sate as rapidly as it declines in talent, it will soon be discontinued. Once the most entertaining and able of the literary publications of the country, it is now little more than a vehicle for the poli tical opinions of the most violent of those who are opposed to Government. Of this, the num ber which has just appeared is a striking instance. The greater part of it is consumed in political dis quisition. Mr. Brougham is the prominent per son throughout—the writer of some articles, and thesubject of most. Whether it be the Catholic Question,or an inaugural lecture or Infant Schools, Mr. Brougham forms the principal character. Facts, indeed, are utterly disregarded, and it is truly surprising to remark, how cooly the re. viewer asserts what he knows to be at variance with the truth. Take for example the article on the Catholic question : no argument is attempted ; but we have a collection of invectives against the principal opponents of the Bill. The honesty of the Duke of York is allowed ; but he is accused of incapacity. The Bishop of London is reviled for bearing testimony to the piety of an indis creet Clergyman. The Earl of Liverpool is ac cused of venality, and the Bishop of Chester is attacked in no measured language, because he dared to defend the Church, of which he is so distinguished a member. In his remarks on this Prelate the reviewer is singularly unfortunate. — The living of Bishopsgate is stated at 4,0001. a year; when a Bill has just passed both Houses (with the concurrence of the Bishop as Rector of the parish), by which the income is fixed at 2,2001. a year. The See of Chester is mentioned as worth as much more, when it is well known that it does not at this moment produce half that sum. Lastly, the Bishop is charged with re ceiving tithes without labouring!—This certainly is an assault which he cannot parry. He does not labour in the sense in which the reviewer uses the term; but if the effectual and diligent discharge of superior duties may compensate for -the income he receives, never, we will venture to say," did any man better deserve the income he receives than die learned and eminent Prelate to whom we are alluding. When next the re viewer may think fit to bait a Bishop, we advise hiauto be more prudent in his choice. [TrIE PUBLIC LEDGER:I Our apprehensions respecting the capture of Navarin are fully confirmed, by an arrival of I taliati Papers.—No reasonahle doubt can be , now entertained of the surrender of this fortress, which is emphatically termed one of the keys of. the Morea. The event, too; is the : more disheart as it is the result of regular operations, Conducted in the view of the whole force of .the proiince, without the latter attempting to arrest their progress. The garrison is said to . have behaved heroically ; but the [more _their tOnduct is praiseworthy,- the more mt. acgoutabli3 must seem the conduct of their ccititrymen, who witnessed their bra ve defence, l_withnut arty atlegtiate Wort to relieve t hem. The GrFO O l, 4 well kft9Wit hay. their chief fo rc e - in the Mores, which consists, according to their own accounts, of 40,000 men, some better armed and trained than others, but all, it is sald,hearty in the cause. From the time that Ibrahim Pasha landed, till the capture of Navarin, there had been sufficient time to assemble the whole of this force. If it assembled, and slunk away from the trial of strength with half the number of Egyptians, or Arabs, it would show, that the Greeks have a greater talent for boasting than fighting. If they did not as semble to a man, to repel the invaders, it may be said that their enthusiasm bears no affinity to their soul-inspiring cause, or to the nature of the difficulties by which they are beset. In either case, the state of their affairs would present a most alarming aspect; for they have to deal with an enemy, who carries on the war against them methodically, and who makes one success subservient,to another. What is to be chiefly feared at present is, that the rumour of his first exploit will be a signal to the Turkish forces in Levadia to advance towards the Isthmus, in which case the situation of the Morea would be in the extreme critical.—' If the Seraskier, Itadshed-Pacha, were also to enter the Morea, contenting himself with masking Missoloughi, we should not know what to think of that province, or of Greece herself. Should any overwhelming calamity occur to the Moreots, it would be absurd to expect any thing afterwards from any other people of Continental Grrece. From a Turkish army we should not apprehend much, were it twice as numerous as that of the Egyptians. Having no regular supplies, it would soon destroy itself, without the aid of the Greeks ; but the troops of Ibrahim Paella are supplied with every thing in profusion ; whilst his navy too, we fear, has the command of the sea ; and it is a painful truth, that lee has been able to trans port his army at different times from Concha to the Mores, without encountering, on any of those occasions, the least molestation. The intelli gence, it cannot be denied, is of the most gloomy description ; whilst it will be readily and cheerfully admitted, that the Greeks have surmounted so many difficulties, which were re garded as insurmountable, that their cause, as long as a single pulse beats, should never be looked upon as hopeless. Besides, the Morea is admirably adapted to defensive operations, and to the mode of fighting to which the Greeks are In a recent Number of THE SUN we mention ed the great and destructive conflagration that had taken place at Bourdeaux on theist instant. By subsequent accounts we learn that the loss, which was originally stated to be 4 millions of francs, is under 3 millions, and that about 2.3ds of this sum is known to be covered by insurance in France. It is the French Phoenix Office, and not that in London of the same name, where a heavy insurance is effected. The loss sustain ed by Mr. Meyer, the Consul, is 600 1 000 francs, of which 480,000 is insured ; that of Msssrs. Bal. quirie and Co. is 350,000, of which 350,000 is insured ; and Messrs. Tastel and Co. suffer to the extent of 180,000, but are insured for 140,000 francs. Tt.e firer s it. appears, broke out in Ba calan, in the warehOnses belonging to M. Boyer, but occupied by Mr. Meyer—and the parties above named. ,The vast quantity of braildr-tbat was in the warehouses made the Ore spread with an alarming rapidity. The ropery belonging to . M. Rousseau, and several adjoining houses, very soon became the prey of the devouring element, besides a large quantity of valuable merchaudize. This terrible loss of property was occasioned by the carelessness of one or Mr. Meyer's workmen, placing a lighted candle on a piece of brandy. Nothing could exceed the zeal and exertions of the firemen ; and both the civil and military authorities were quickly upon the spot to admi nister counsel, &c. Very fortunately no lives were lost. A commercial letter, dated St. Petersburgh, June i 1, By accounts • from Odessa, we learn t h at says—" thesale of wheat, particularly that of Arnaut, Continues to be carried on there with great briskness. In the last days of April, some 20,000 chetverts (about 13,500 quarters Eng lish) were disposed of. Large purchases of wool have also been made. That which is in greatest request (in the Odessa districts) is grown in the extensive sheep-walks of Prince Baratinsky and Messrs. Piktet and Revilliod. Up to the 30th May the total number of met-- chant-vessels that had arrived at Cronstadt were _l73—the sailings thence, 35. n The Etoile calculates, that the fetes given in Paris, at the expence of the Government, on Wednesday the Sth, and Sunday the 12th inst, have occasioned a circulation among the trading world to the extent of 15 millions of francs—six hundred thousands Sterling—a considerable sum most assuredly, COLBERT, who has the reputa tion of having been a great financier, encouraged Lours the W. to expend in Carousals, per suaded that these things had a beneficial influence on society. The number of strangers (says the French paper from which we extract this) drawn to Paris for some time, has been so considerable, that the produce of the Octroi has been augment- • ed by 1;200,000 francs in a single month. A Letter from Amsterdam states, that on the 13th instant the vessels equipped for the herring fishery, sixteen in number, sailed. They took their departure amid the acclamations of a large' assembly of people, exclusive of the families of the fishermen. Much interest is naturally at tached to the success of the enterprize, which furnishes the means of subsistence to a great many families. With a view to promote ship-building, a special company has been formed in this city (Amsterd am ) f or th a t purpose. His Majesty, the King of the Netherlands has caused his name to be inscribed as a Share-holder for 50,00 0 florins. An official notice is inserted in the Copenhagen Papers of the 11th instant, that the lights in going into the harbour of Elsinore were there discontinued, and would not appear again till further orders.

The match for 300 sovereigns having been made, 500 with more heavy betting was added, at 5 to . 4 on time. The pedestrian reached Colliers End, 28 miles, to break. fast, at the pace of 5 miles an hour, and completed 82 miles to Wandsford, at 11 o'clock at night: The second day he reached Doncaster by way of Worksop at midnight, and re turned to Worksop, where he refreshed. The next day, the third, the pedestrian reached Norman Cross, leaving himself 28 'hours to perform the remaining 72 miles in, and he won the match with half an hour to spare, and not much fatigued.

Severe dwelling-houses were thrown down, doors, win• doves, &c. were flying about, even the very pave. ment of the streets was torn up, besides the de. molition of sentry boxes, &c. Seventy vessels, large and small, have foundered in the river Ocka ; and, melancholy to relate, no fewer than 74 men have loSt their lives. The damage done to the town is estimated at 100,000 rubles. It would have boon twice that sum but for the al most super-human exertions of the Police Officers and their Assistants. A letter from Birmingham says—" A sample 011,000 quarters of bonded wheat was offered conditionally, as to the Bill passing for its libe ration, at two shillings per bushel, duty In cluded, weighing about 10 lb. per Winchester bushel only ; the weevils had left merely the husk!" A letter dated Hanover, the 10th June, says, on the 3d inst. the village of Knesebeck was re duced to Ashes, and some lives were lost ; nearly all the cattle perished too. It is a most melan choly event, there beiupwards of 100 families ng who are plunged into the bitterest poverty. An alarming fire broke out in the night of the 14th inst. in the premises of M Robert, a coach. master, in the passage of St. Maur, in the street of the old Tuileries. It appears that eight houses have fallen a prey to the devouring ele. went. M. Robert has lost thirty-six fine horses, Amongst the sufferers is a saddler, who has lost the whole of his property.

Two moderate doses of castor oil were administered, which, on the third day relieved the stomach of the lodgmener and excepting spasms in the back and shoulders, no consideratile pain was experienced, although .the passage of the needle throu;:h the intostittet-war dis.tiactly felt.----(Tmattow Umtrice) E LECTI 0 N,O F SHERIFFS. A Yesterday, a Common Hall was held for the purpose of electing the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, for the year ensuing. - The names of the respective Candidates were read over. by the Town Clerk. Amongst them were—Mr. Alderman Crow der, Sir C. Flower, Mr. Phillip Hurd, Mr. James Cooke, Mr. John Flower Dove, &c. The show of hands was decidedly_ in favour.of Messrs. Hurd and Dove, and the Common Sergeant declared that th e e l ec ti on h a d fallen on Phillip Hurd, Esq. Citizen and Scrivener, and John Fowler Doye, Esq. Citizen and Stationer, but it was then announced that Messrs. Wortley and Martin had demanded a Poll. Upon the name of Mr. Phillip Hurd being put in nomina tion, Mr. Henry Hunt stepped forward amidst loud - hissing. He was about to make some observation, when he was inter. rupted by • Mr. Sheriff Brown, who said that he could not allow any (ifs. eussion. Previous to the names being read, it was competent to any Liveryman to make observations, but Mr. .Htilitt - had suffered that to pass by.—(Here there was a general uproar ; and Mr. Hunt very reluctantly retired.) • • • - The Sheriff afterwards announced that Messrs. Hurd and Dove had also demanded a poll. The SHERIFF then announced that the different Members of the Corporation would retire to the Court of Ald6rmen, .and announce how far the election had proceeded, and that the poll should commence as soon as possible.

A Court of Aldermen was afterwards holden, at which the Chamberlain and Bridgemasters were sworn into their respeo. tive oflices. The Rulers of the Watermen and Lightermen's Company were also sworn into office for the ensuing year. Precepts for a Common Ball on Michaelmas Day next, for the electron of a Lord Mayor, were ordered to be issued to the several Livery Companies.

SUDDEN DEATH AT THE BULL BAIT.-011 Tuesday last, 11r. Slack, of Teddington,-went, with others, to witness the bull bait at Hounslow. H eath and, while sitting on his horse, on the outside of th e ring, he suddenly dropped to the ground in a fit. A surgeon, who was on the spot, in stantly attended him, and bled him in the temple and ann, but was unable to restore him ; life had fled, and he was con veyed to Hounslow in a cart, where he was discovered the next morning by his servant. He had recently lost his wife, and this preying on his mind produced an indisposition, under which he laboured at the time of his death. An Officer in the British Army, just previous to his leaving London for the Peninsula, purchased a bed, formed entirely of bears' skins. On taking this into a room where he kept a remarkably fine parrot, he was surprised to find the bird alarmed, and flying about the cage, as if apprehensive of danger. in order to pacify it, he threw a dark blue table-cloth over the cage, thinking that when it could no longer see the cause of its apprehension, it would be quiet ; this, however had not the desired effect, and not till the bed was removed into another room did the parrot regain its tran quillity. Determined to ascertain if it would be alarmed by the proximity only of the bed, he carefully again covered the cage, not leaving any space whatever that could be seen through, a nd then, as silently as possible, took the bed sga into the room, but the bird, notwithstanding the care he had taken, as soon as it was brought into the room, appeared quite as much terrified as before.—( Brighton Gazette.)
