'IIIE-LONDON JOURNALS. Extructsfrom the Morning rupers,Marchl,lB2.s. [MORNING POST.] The Chancellor.of the Exchequer, last night, made his grand Financial Statement for the year, I and a more gratifying picture of national pro sperity, daily increasing and daily consolidated, has not been displayed for centuries to the coun tryA.t the commencement of or to the world. the last Session he had assumed in the calculation which he then made, that there would be at the expiration of 1824 a surplus of 1,050,0001. That anticipation liad not only been realized, but after: applying 5 150 000/. .to the reduction of the National Debt, the surplus now amounts to 1437,7441. or four hundred `thousand pounds snore than the original estimate. The proximate cause of this great increase, the Right Honourable Gentleman jusly infcrmed us, " is to be found in that extension of our commercial policy which we last year adopted, in the greater consequent 'capacity of the people of this country for the con sumption of foreign produce, the general ease of the conmmunity, and above all the increased capacity of foreign nations to consume our pro duce, arising out of the means of doing so, which we afford them by taking theirs." Neither is this an accidental or temporary result. It is one which depends upon a principle rooted in human - nature; which forms the essence of Society, and 'may be assumed as thebasis upon which to calculate the produce of the Revenue for years to come!" _Having shown what the surplus was, the Right lion. Gent. then stated how he intended to employ it. The'relief which he proposed for the country by the reduction of taxation would have three ob jects—" First, the extension of our commerce, and the increasing of our facility to consume foreign produce. Secondly, the . carrying further the attempts which had already been made for .the extinction of that monstrous evil, sm . uggling. Thirdly, the relief desirable from the removal of direct taxation, of WhiCh 'so much had been said by some Hon. Members." These three objects, he conceived, would be attained as follows : lie proposed that the Duties on French Wines' should be reduced from lls. 54d. per gallon, to 6s. per ditto, and those on Portugal Wines from 7s: 7d. per gallon, to 4s. The Duties on British Spirits from 10s. 6d. per gallon to ss. from Malt,l -and to 6s. from Grain ; that upon Rum from 10s. 6d. per gallon to .89.; and that on Cyder -from 30s. per hogshead to 15s. In addition to this, he would reduce the Duties on Hemp and Coffee one-half, and those on foreign Iron pro portionably, and would remit the whole of the duty 'on Windows in Houses which had not more than seven, and the Inhabited House Duty on those under 101. rent, with many other duties affect ing the welfare of the . lower classes and that of agriculture. Indeed by this arrangement the whole portion of the Assessed Taxes which has, 'hitherto been borne by i the poor maybe consi:, tiered as abolished. , This is •beginning at the :tight end. To relieve .'those who. are the least -Ole_ to bear ,their buctimus . ,, is, the act-of a :wise 'and humane legislator,--and will not only inspire the other classes with hope,.hut .with patience to await the hour when similar .alleviations may. be extendud to them, Next year, in all probabi lity, the Assessed Taxes, generally, will be abolished. [NEW TIMES.] • This evening the general question, of Catholic ,tmaticipation will be taken up _ by-Sir Francis Burdett. The lion. Baronet, with great candour, *Lid very honourable feelings, eXpressed•his re 'gret„, in. the ,debate of last Tuesday Se'imight, that the Petition entrusted to his. hands had not been gotnmitted to those of. Mr. Plunkett ; and we eonfess we coincide entirely .in that sentiment: No doubt, . Sir Francis : will devote to the - Ostliotic cause his most zealous exertions, and will exhibit in its support very brilliant ta .}e nts—but, alas! his . natne.is-.o : miuous of failure. The country at large. look . upon him as a man of .extravagant principles, of liberty, Itti Ultra on the side of dernOcracry, w hos,e view are' incompatible with any. sound theory of-the CiinStittitiOn. Ac cordingly, though his speeches are admired by both sides of the llouse; his triPtions are sup ported by neither ; and.out of;Parliament he is the oracle of none but the mere-Radicals, a faction . fast dwindling in to pt ter insignicayce. Unpopular as the. cause of the Catholics - 1445-:been for some time past in England, they have aeted very inju diciously in burthening theroselves-with.theaddi 4ional unpopularity of Sir ,Francis's name ; but' Aiwa Deus.vult perdere prius.cleznentist—the Ca tholics have successively: put their _affairs into the bands ' of Mr._ o'_Conpell, cobbett, - aitd Sir Fran s Burdett. Can .it he expected that these guides should be followed by such men as Mr. tanning, the Chancellor of the titchequer, and Mr. Plunkett ? That would indeed be; in matter of intellect, " the world turned upside down." [THE TIIIES.] ,! • In France, a dynasty de.voteci to the Church of Rome, reigns once inore predominant and so verb.

A censor ' ship on journals, and another on books, are spoken of as likely to be proposed after the coronation,in ' furtherance of the Charter ! which declares that the press shall be free, though punishable by law after an offence committed—not extinguisha ble, lest it should offend. Whether suct► measures - are contemplated' by the Government, we know not, but the apprehension of their circulating among well-informed men marks the unfriendly spirit which the existing policy has provoked, and the tendencies and dispositions by which the public suspect Charles and his Ministers of being biassed. It seems rather inauspicious that the portion of English history which records and describes the dow•nfal of the Stuarts should be now a more fa vourite study with political circles beyond the limits of the Tuileries and of the Fauxburg St. Germain, than at any former era. We wish the house of Bourbon joy of its alliance with Alex ander and with the Jesuits. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The Bill for the Suppression of the Catholic Association was read a first time last night in the Lords. The second reading was fixed for Thurs day next, for which day their Lordships are to be summoned. When the Bill was before the other House, we were not aware that there was a striking precedent in favour of hearing Counsel against a public Bill, of which no notice Was . taken - . We mean that of the famous Quebec r vernment Bill, in the discussion of which :Jr. Burke - and Mr. Fox first exhibited their diversity of opinion, in political matters, in a marked mari ner. No Bill could be more public than the one in question, which opened a door to the discussion of the relative merits and demerits of all sorts of Constitutions and all sorts of GovernMenta,and all sorts of Churches. Against this Bill, 'a. Petition was presented, from several Merchants, Ware housemen, and Manufacturers, concerned in the trade to Quebec, praying that the Bill might not pass into a Law, inasmuch as,. after having duly weighed the consequences of it, they con iceived it would be attended with great injury to the said Province. Counsel. were heard at the Bar of both Houses in support of this Peti tion, and one of the Counsel: was Mr. fon blanque. In the Parliamentary History, vol. 29, p. 65:5, we find the following passage:— " May 30 (1791).—The House having. resolved itself into a Committee on the Quebec-Govern ment Bill, Counsel were heard in support of the Petitioners against the Bill 1" Now we should be glad to be informed of any one. argu thent in favour of hearing Counsel against the Quebec Government Bill—a Bill which even went to confer valuable constitutional privileges On the population of a large part of the empire, which does not apply with equal. force to a Bill for depriving the population of a neighbouring island _of their constitutional privileges. We appeal therefore to the principle which governs the "proceedings of the Legislature, and we say, be the 'precedent good or bad, it has been set, and acted on, without .opposition, during a period when the House of Lords contained in dividuals who take a distinguished part in its proceedings (Lord Grenville introduced the Bill to the House). If • then their Lordships refuse to hear Counsel against the Bill, they will be flying in the face of their own precedent. The doctrine always advanced by those who take the lead in both Houses is, that if the occasion were toarise for the first time, there might be room for discussing the course which ought to be adopted ; but . a precedent having been set, it must .not be departed from. It would be very singular indeed, if it should be.contended that a precedent ought never to be considered binding, when the object wished for is to deprive the people of their rights—to add an additional link to the chain of oppression. Frig E PUBLIC LEDGER.] A variety of rumours, which we suspect to have emanated from Mincing-lane, were put yes terday into circulation ; but of toa gross a tex ture to-create any deep sensation. The Ameri cans, it was said, had effected a landing in the Havannah ; the Burmese had penetrated almost to the gates of Calcutta, having first defeated the British army; and, lastly, Canterac had made his peace with Bolivar—the only rumour, that bore even the faintest semblance of probability. With respect to the landing in the Havan nah, the Bill, authorizing the pursuit of Pirates into the territory of another Power,. was not introduced into the American Legisla ture, at the time when such a proceeding could have taken place. As to the success of the Bur mese, no one could state how the intelligence was received. That it did not arrive by sea, is cer tain ; and no overland dispatch was received at the India House. Respecting Canterac, what• ever may have been his difficulties at the date of the last advises, and we believe them to have been insurmountable, he would, in all probability, face them like a brave man. Though they threatened to overwhelm him and his cause, we do not think that he would aban don it in its last struggles, to purchase exemp tion ,from ruin for himself. Olaneta, the servile Olaneta, has abandoned it ; and though he was in the habit of vaunting of his honour and un- Auken fidelity with more than ultra flippancy, yet he had no scruples about quitting it, when he saw that victory was fixed to the other side. Bat Valdez, Canterac, and La Serna, belong to another school, where at least selfishness is not inculcated ; and thousands of wandering, desti- We Constitutionalists, attest the disinterested ness and inflexibility which they have shewn in *npport of their principles. But servilism is not the hotbed of enthusiasm ; but, with its vapourinc , pretensions, it produces only cold-blooded and calculating. egotists. How they conducted themselves in France, whilst le gitimacy was out of vogue, is well known ; and 'particularly their conduct during the hundred days was the clima x of business. During this period they watched from their lurking places to see how the balanc'e would incline ; whilst the grossly calumniated Constitutionalists of Spain Pawned life . and property on their cause. Can. terac, who belongs to this party, will not leave the ship in which he has embarked, as long ag a plank of it remains ; and we are only sorry that his duty, as a Spaniard and a soldier, has thrown him into so rotten a one. [MORNING HERALD.] According to the last accounts from Dublin, some of the Members of the Catholic Associa tion have, in the plenitude of their deliberative wisdom, declared that " it is not the interest of the Irish, especially of the Roman Catho lics, to wish for a Reform in the British Par liament." However doubtful the policy of such an avowal may be, we do not at all ques tion its sincerity. The present state of Spain, to say nothing of that of other Roman Catho lic countries, affords a tolerable specimen of the degree of civil liberty and constitutional Re form which is to be expected under a Roman Ca tholic ascendancy. The Roman Catholic religion is, in fact, the religion of ignorance, of intoler ance, of priestcraft, and of despotism; and if we could persuade ourselves that to grant what is called Catholic Emancipation would be adding one jot to the political influence of that religion, either in Great Britain or Ireland, we would make our stand at once against any further concessions,' and would declare, with the Barons of old, Nolinnus leges Anglice mutari. But tit* consequence, we believe, would be directly otherwise ; and that it is to the system of exclu sion towards the Catholics, added to the bad use which has been made of the Protestant Esta blishment in Ireland, that 'the former religion avresi if not its existence, at least, its extensive existence, in that country. We look upon the exclusion of Catholics from civil rights in the same light as.we should view an aitempt to dam up the current of a river ; which, so treated, is ever overflowing its banks and threatening inun dation, while, on. the contrary, if left to itself, it soon joins some larger stream; or is lost in the boundlesS waters of the: ocean. The Catholics, ' in asking to be - admitted to their share of civil rights, are, in fact, asking, for that which only a Protestant Government has to give ; and therefore, though it may be a boon, which a Catholic Government would neither give, nor perhaps have to give, yet that is no reason why it should be withheld. To be sure, it is not very politic in the Catholics to announce their op-po sition to popular rights, at a time when they are seeking the enjoyment of them ; yet we have no doubt but, when noxious restraints are taken away, and the irresistible light of knowledge has burst in upon the mass of the Catholic- popula tion, they will become as good citizens, if not, in time, as zeakins Protestants, as heart can wish. As to the re-establishment of the Catholic Reli gion in this country, that were as hopeless as the return of ignorance. Knowledge, like the me ridian sun, has dissolved the fetters of supersti tion, which, while the Presi exists, can never more be re-united. [BRITISH PRESS.] If we were inclined to glorify the patriotism of our Parliamentary a ncestors, we should cer tainly not speak above our breath when we came to the subject of the G a me Laws. Not that these are the only written laws which bear no very luminous traces of their wisdom, but that "they have been more prolific of misery and mischief than any other portion of that inheritance which their statute books have bequeathed to us. If our statutes were periodically revised, they might, by the occasional infusion of those fun damental truths which are unfolded in the progress of moral and political freedom, be made partakers of its benefit. The Bill just now brought in to amend the- laws for the preservation of game, afforded. *all excellent opportunity of exercising tbiS - W'llolesome juris diction, and of regulating tlarklits'of property by a more legitimate and improYed'itanclard. But we regret to perceive, that th`6 - ivorthy Mem ber by whom the Bill is brotight in has not ex pended much intellectual effort towards thiS de sirable end. The practice of the Athenian Le gislature, when they proceed to make laws, is full of useful suggestions to the lawgivers of modern times. Before any Bill was per mitted to pass into a law, it was necessary that it should first be transcribed and sus pended before the statues of the ten Neroes se veral days previously to its being debated in the Assembly. Demosthenes moreover tells us—and in the case of amended Bills it is written for our learning — c, that no law could be proposed, un til the law which it was to amend or supersede was examined." And the Grecian orator pro pounds to us the reason for this precaution— that the " laws might not he contradictory, and that they might be all e qua ll y i ntell i g ibl e, as we ll as to the simple as to the learned." Had oar sys tem of statutory law been thus matured and per fected, it would certainly,by this time, have exhi bited a much more valuable code than it does at present. Now, however, that a more liberal and enlightened policy prevails, we may look forward to the future with livelier hopes. In the mean time we shall proceed to offer—in the way of suggestion—such observations as occur to us, in going over this proposed Bill for the amendment of the Game Laws. No licence to buy or sell game is to be granted to any Inn-keeper or Tavern-keeper, or to any Higher or Carrier. We take it fo the former des cr i pt i on of persons buying grantedbuy ig Ia fame ti t of licensed dealers, may next clause restricts the thebu or y it for any dinn er , be permitted to dress his or her own use, e p r ri t v o a t t h e t, e ; h b o u yio a g s tine r the removal o f it would seem necessary for doubt, to introduce an excepting clause. With respect to the refusal of a license to buy or s e ll policy o f thi s exclusion, to say the least of it, i s game to any higler or carrier, the not very obvious. Why, if game is to be boug ht and sold, s h ould it not, as well as domestic poultry, or any other marketable commoditYs be sold by this description of dealers ? How many towns are there in which there are no poulterers, and in which game will therefore not be sold as an article o f t rade ? In such cases how is it to be procured ? The hi leg is, in fact, for all such purposes, an itin er heoes his g y theant shopkeeper ; circuit to supply want of those who have no • local means of supply. In short, he goes to his customers instead of troubling his customers to come to him. There seems—for aught that we can see, at least—to be no offence in this. It may deserve remark, that no mention is made of hawkers. Would a person, having a hawker's licence, be entitled to a licence to deal in game, or would he be included in the terms higler or carrier? It may be well to be more explanatory upon this head, and to preclude any future ques tion upon it before this Bill passes into a law. WEST INDIA DOCKS.

We understand the Edinburgh Chess Club have won the first game in the match between England and Scotland. The Scotch game was at one period of it considered desperate, but it ap pears that the English Club, in their eagerness to obtain a vic tory, which, with a little caution, might have been easily se cured, sacrificed a Rook. Even, after this sacrifice, they might have forced a drawn game by giving perpetual check, but confiding too much in their own resources, or not suffi ciently respecting the skill of their adversaries, - they persisted in endeavouring to win the game. The men of the North dis played as much promptitude in taking advantage of the rash confidence of their antagonists, as they had already exhibited of passive courage during the season of adversity, and they have ultimately won the game. Chess-players will appreciate the merit which is due to the perseverance and skill of the Scotch Club, when it is considered that the game was succes sively won and drawn in its nature for the English Club, and that the Edinburgh players had to contend against a Committee, which is ackowledged to comprehend the finest players in this country. A second game has been drawn, and a third game is still pending, the moves being transmitted as usual, by a re. turn of post. Bets of five to two have been lost on the first game, and bets of three to two, in favour of the English Club, are still offered on the result of the match.

When alighting from his' gig, he requested his luggage to be carried into the Commercial Room. The horse being taken into the stable, a boy assisted 'Boots to unload• In giving the cushions out, something fell on the foot-board, which the boy took up, and discovered it to be a pistol ; while in the act of carrying it to Boots it went off, and, shocking to relate, the bare maid, Mary Drane, an amiable young woman, iri her 21st year, received the contents which en tered her right hip, an d passe d through her'body. Mr. Oakes, Mr. Abbott, and their assistants, at' tended within five minutes, but the wound Was mortal: she died about half-past twelve last night. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Friday evening a chaise-cart, containing one man, two women, and a carboy of vitriol, driving along the Hackney" road at a furious rate, was upset. All were thrown out and much hurt. One of the women bled very much, and most likely was great''' . burnt by the vitriol. The horse on one side seemed, to use the language of our informant, who witnessed the accident, to be burst; but the sight was altogether too revolting to allow him to ascertain with accuracy the extent of the injury which each of the sufferers had received.
