THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts- from the Morning Papers, Dec.l3, 1825. [TICE TIMES.] With respect to the crisis which now agitates the city, our manner of treating it shews that it creates in our minds no great terror as a national evil. We feel for men of real capital and sub stance who are brought into pecuniary trouble or perplexity by the arts of others, or even their own inconsideration ; but we have seen enough of banking concerns to know, that if the present crisis were to pass away hastily, the market of extravagant speculation would resume its recent vivacity ; many who are now trembling would forget their fears, and be as brisk and swaggering as ever. In fine, the lesson, however terrible, would be lost. There has been an immense over-trading and over-speculating on fictitious capitals. The schemes but lately afloat, though they may not any of them singly have equalled in extent and magnitude the celebrated South Sea Bubble of last century, were yet so numerous and weighty as to carry with them a much greater mass of fraud and deception in the aggregate ; can we, therefore, wonder that the result has been similar? It is likewise a very singular state of affairs that the Bank of England should be without the issue of a single one or two pound note, and that country bankers, many of them mere retail shopkeepers, should be de luging the provinces with millions ; not that we complain that the former have them not, but that the latter have them. If notes of that descrip tion are to be in circulation, it is like abdicating the reins of financial govern ment for the National Bank to decline the issue to them, and allow it to take place from comparative hovels in the country. In large provincial towns, certainly, the word Bank makes a showy figure, and is placed over a re spectable structure but we have known cases in which the word Dairy, or Cheese-room, would be a much more suitable description of the tene ments from which so great a proportion of the circulating medium of England issues than that of Bank. Unfortunately, as the Small-note Bill now stands, this privilege of issuing one and two pound notes is allowed to country bankers till the year 1833. This, however, cannot last ; and we have no doubt that it will be proposed to repeal the clause as soon as Par liament meets. It might be prudent, therefore, in country bankers of any credit 60 look to a re trenchment in their circulation of small notes.— With respect to the affairs of the city, it is im possible that what we have said ca❑ affect any " good house." We would not have men whose concerns rest upon the basis of real substantial property shaken ; but it is most desirable for the credit and future comfort of such in the con ducting of their business, and for the general peace of the commercial community, that the hangers-on upon an honourable profession should now he shaken off ;—that is, that ►nen who have no other funds than the misplaced confidence of the public, should be driven to get their bread by a more honourable and more healthy industry than that of fabricating reports, and watching the money-market. [MORNING POST.] The apprehensions which had been entertained for some days were realized, we regret to say, yesterday merning, when the eminent banking house of Sir Peter Pole, Thornton i and Co. stopped payment. The event occasioned Jeep and general consternation. ft had been under. stood that the Bank having been satisfied that the firm were provided with securities to an im• mense amount beyond all engagements had libe rally interfered to assist them. But notwith standing this interposition, the run upon them continued unabated, and the unreasoning panic which prevailed created that which it most dreaded. During the whole of the last week, the house withstood the heaviest uninterrupted pressure, but being unable to realize at once its securities, a temporary stoppage became necessary. This, we understand, would have taken place on Saturday: but the London bankers, in order to prevent the effects which must have ensued in the country, had the intelligence been suffered to go by that day's post ere any preparation could be made to meet the blow, with a degree of judgment and public spirit which does them honour, propped the House among them, and dispatched by the coaches on that evening, to their various country connections, sufficient gold and Bank of England notes to meet any run, so that the news going by last night's post will find its antidote in the bullion and cash previously dispatched, and the apprehended mis chief, if not totally prevented, will, at all events, be much lessened. This is the more fortunate, as the Firm that has stopped is said to have been connected with upwards of forty Coun try Banks. The alarm produced by this fail ure yesterday morning was encreased by an unfounded and nefarious report, that another great London House had stopped payment, and for a short time the confusion was so great, that there was scarcely a Banker in this metropolis who - was deemed capable to withstand the shock. Under the influence of these rumours, Consols for the. Account opened at 821 -1, and fell with considerable rapidity to 811 Q, which was the quotation at about half-past twelve. At this period the rush to sell all sorts of Securities ex ceeded any thing known of late, and Exchequer ,Bills were at 60 discount, rndia Bonds 45, and even the advertised Exchequer Bills were at 30' discount. The three per Cents. Reduced were at 79, and the three and a half per Cents. were quoted at 83 to 85. In fact, it was difficult to obtain any real price for any thing but Consols for Account, for money was out of the question. As the day advanced a new series of report obtained currency. One was, that Lord Liverpool was at the Bank, conferring with the Directors respecting the state of the Funds ; another, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was with them for the same purpose ; a third (and this was more credited), that the partner of one of the most eminent banking houses had been sent for by Ministers to learn the real state of the Funded Property, and the actual circulating medium necessary to relieve the want so clearly exhibited. Whatever truth there was in this last, the others were generally disbelieved ; but yet this, with a knowledge that only one house (Sir Peter Pole's) had really stopped, contri buted to remove, in a great measure, the alarm, and Consols for Account closed at the improved price of 834. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] If the bank were to pay the next dividends on the 20th of December, instead of waiting till they become due, a very great relief would thereby be afforded in the present embarrass ment, and much distress throughout the country would, in all probability be prevented. The bankers are obliged to be prepared for the pay ment of the quarter's taxes, for which purpose they cannot avail themselves of the dividends, though the latter follow the former almost imme diately ; but if the accommodation of this antici pation were afforded, the bankers would be enabled to pay out the money, which, in jus tice to themselves, they must now retain in their hands. We can see no objection to this measure, which, in a time of alarm like the pre sent, might be attended with the most beneficial results. Indeed, it is impossible to calculate the benefit, at a period when long established houses are every w here para lysed for the most trifling SUMS. An observation in the Chronicle of yesterday has, we learn, been misconstrued. " The exchanges (we said) are already so high, that gold and silver are below the mint price. The contraction of the paper as necessarily raises the Exchanges as its extension lowers them." An inference has been drawn from this, that we wished to have it believed that the Bank had actually contracted its issues. In fact, we undersand, that so far from this being the case at present, the Bank were never more liberal than at present ; and yes terday in particular the conduct of the Bank gave the highest satisfaction. But the circulation of paper generally throughout the country must have been very much contracted by the want of confi dence in country banks, and the embarrassment has forced goods extensively into the market,and tempt ed purchasers from every quarter. The cotton spe culation, which was productive of so much dis tress in the north of England, terminated by at tracting foreigners to our markets, who purchased that for which our speculators had paid a high price at a much lower price. The result of all this is, the influx of gold and silver into the country, and the consequent rise of the Ex changes, and the place of country paper will, in many places, be supplied by gold. The gold and paper cannot both circulate, and there fore if gold circulate more extensively there will be a contraction of the paper. No doubt, the want of confidence for some time will induce people every where to retain a much greater amount of cash by them, to be prepared for un foreseen demands, than they would think of doing in other times.—The present state of alarm cannot be of long continuance. Those houses throughout the country which are in straitened circumstances, must soon sink under the pressure. Those who can sustain the immediate shock may be said to he out of danger. When it is seen that the evil does not spread, confidence will be quickly restored. When the effect of the failure of Pole's Bank on their country corre spondents has been ascertained, we may Chen say, that the storm has nearly spent its ravages. We must repeat, for the hundredth time—throw banking free, and it will of itself take that direction which will be most beneficial to the country. At present, and in all times of difficulty, the want of confidence is greatly increased by the knowledge of the cir cumstance, that on account of the Bank of Eng land monopoly, the country banks must neces sarily be established on too narrow a foundation. There is no reason why a thousand or ten thou sand men should not, as well as six men, consti tute a Banking Company, in any part of England. If the people were to give a preference to banks with small capitals, then, in God's name, let them gratify their inclination ; but at all events give them the option of dealing with any description of bank which may be most acceptable to them.— One device the country banks have had recourse to in several places, with the idea, no doubt, of se curing themselves against sudden demands. In some of the largest towns, the notes are payable in London only, and not also at the banks of the drawers. This accounts for the late large trans fers of notes to London for payment. But though this device may succeed in ordinary times, it will be of little avail in times when credit is shaken. [NEW TIMES.] A Neapolitan Paper contains the following pa ragraph :—" The Government of the King of Morocco having bought, by a contract executed in the Sardinian Consulate at Tangier, a goletta called the Maria Louisa, armed with four twelve pounders, and two eight-pounders, a report was in consequence circulated, that this vessel was to be dispatched on a cruise against the ships of those Sovereigns who had no Consul ht Morocco, and in particular the flags of Naples, Tuscany, Rome, Austria, and Hamburgh, were specified as liable to capture. It might easily have been known that this rumour was unfounded, so far as regarded the Neapolitan flag, since treaties of peace, commerce, and navigation, have long existed between the Crown of the Two Sicilies, and his Majesty of Morocco; nor has any event ever occurred which could pro duce the least alteration in the pacific relations of the two Courts. Nevertheless all requisite measures were taken by the King our Sovereign, not only to remove every ;del of hostility between the two States, hut also to obviate all suspicion that might prejudice the free navigation of the Neapolitan flag, and the commerce of his Ma jesty's subjects. Accordingly, the Royal ves sel II Vesuvio, commanded by the Marquis D. Giuseppe De Blasi, was dispatched to Tan gier, where she arrived on the 24th of October, to ascertain the dispositions entertained, there towards our flag, Captain de Blasi having had a conference with the Pasha, has brought back the most positive assurances that the Neapolitan flag shall be respected by the Morocco cruisers, and that Neapolitan subjects may continue to trade in the States of Morocco, as heretofore, without being exposed to any acts of hostility. The said Commander has given notice of these assur ances by his letter of the 26th ult. from Gibral tar, forwarded hither by the brig Concezione, Capt. Antonio Carace. Information thereof is accordingly made public, for the satisfaction of our mercantile Navigators and Traders ; and moreover, it is added, that the King of Morocco has promised to pay in ready mo►►ey for all cargoes of corn which may be imported into Tangier under the Neapolitan flag." Notizie Interne. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] We have received the Paris Papers; but their contents, with the exception of such as relate to Spain, are destitute of interest. The late im provement in the Money Market has not sus tained itself, as was very generally expected ; and the slight depression which took place in the Rentes on Friday, was merely the precursor of a much greater fall on the following day ; the 3 per cents. having closed on this day at 621. This fall appears to be the result alone of the deep gloom that pervades our own Market, there being nothing that we can perceive either in the political, commercial, or financial cir cumstances of France, capable of account ing for it. But the sympathy between the two Markets is much greater than is usually imagined ; though it is only a few days since that a French Ministerial Paper was pleased to draw the attention of its readers to the stability of all the great interests of his own country, as compared with the state of our own. He has now a reply to his boasting statement ; and he will have a further illustration of its errors, if the distrust continue, to which the English market is unfortunately subjected at the present mo ment. As this distrust has been now carried to an extent that absolutely confounds all calcu lations, we can only call it a sort of influenza, which has its existence in causes that are placed above human controul, and which during its prevalence, defies human skill. It has this peculiarity too, that measures intended as remedies, have, in most cases, no other effect but that of adding to its violence ; and perhaps the best way of treating it, though every Quack has his sovereign nostrum, is to let time disease exhaust itself. Those, who have no real stamina, will probably succumb ; and some who are not exactly placed in this situation, may become its victims ; but, in the end, the injury, in a national point of view, will not be considera ble, great as individual sufferings may he for a time. If it only effectual sufferings may be for a time. If it only effectually serve to check the wild spirit of speculation, so inconsis tent with the cautious, reflecting and honoura• ble character of Englishmen, which prevailed a short time since, it will ultimately do more good than harm, particularly as every other interest has been thriving for some time, and would luive ar rived at a much higher degree of prosperity, had it not been for the improvident spirit we are now animadverting upon, and which is now working its own cure. The distemper has had its rise in excess, and its only cure is abstinence; but to feed it, as some persons strongly urge at this time, is a course which, we trust, the State Physicians have too much skill and firmness to adopt. [BRITISH PRESS.] No language can describe the alarm and con fusion that prevailed yesterday in the Money Market, on the announcement of the failure of Sir Peter Pole, Thornton, and Co. This me lancholy intelligence was accompanied with a groundless report affecting another respectable banking establishment. This malicious rumour, for such, in truth, we fear it was, was met by a prompt contradiction, and stopped from further circulation. To give some idea of the panic and the pressure for money, we select the prices of Exchequer Bills and Reduced Stock. The adver tised Bills, on which the parties had given notice at the. Exchequer for money, and which were payable this day in cash, sold at 255. discount for 1001. The Bills not advertised, at 555. dis.; Reduced 3 per cent. Stock at 79i and 80. Va. lions sales were reported of Consols for money, to be immediately tranferred (an indulgence very properly granted by the Directors of the Bank of England, though the Stock has closed pre viously to the Dividend) ; but these were all ru mours set afloat to spread wider the alarm and the panic of the day. The reports circulated yesterday morning surpass in their wickedness all the previous attempts of the industrious stock jobbers.---The Foreign Market has been compa ratively neglected, but all the Stocks were lower : Colombian about 60 ; the Mexican 6 per Cents. about 62; Buenos Ayes, 75; Brazil Scrip, 15 dis.; Austrian, 90; Russian, 87; Spa nish, 14. In Shares no transactions worth re porting ; indeed the prices were nominal. [MORNING HERALD. The French are, of all people, the first to re proach other nations and Governments with bad faith and the sacrifice of public honour to the sordid interests of trade. If the matter were tried by facts the recoil would be terrible upon the French Government, and especially the Go vernment of the Bourbons. To rest the issue upon a single fact, not generally known—who would suppose, after the chivalrous declarations of the Representatives of the French Government since the peace of 1814—after the Law solemnly passed interdicting, under severe penalties, and especially the penalty of public shame, to all Frenchmen the traffic in slaves—after all the rhetorical varieties in which this great act of hu mane legislation figured in the funeral eulogies of Louis XVII I.—who would suppose, after all this, that the Slave Trade was still carried on, with the effrontery of notoriety, in the out ports of France ? .The port of Nantes ap pears pre-eminent in infamy. The traffic in slaves is talked 'of openly on 'Change, like any other—ttna the facility and security have so far increased, that the rate of insurance has fallen from 35 and 36 to 25 per tent., and these insurances are termed " insurances of honour !" They have even abandoned the slang in which this infamous traffic was hitherto veiled, and talk of it in plain terms. What is more, the devotees have the execrable hypocrisy to engage it under pretence of converting the negroes—public functionaries vest capital in other hands for the purpose, and even calling themselves friends of freedom, do not blush to owe their fortunes to the slavery of their fellow-creatures. On a moderate calculation, the number of vessels of Nantes alone engaged in the Slave Trade is no less than 80, and the shipowners increase the number of their accomplices, by making the shipbuilders and the workmen themselves, the carpenter, the sail maker, the rope-maker, the smith—owners of small shares in the illegal and infamous adventure. An eye-witness of the highest credit, who has just visited Nantes, reports from his own obser vation no less than eleven slave vessels in readi ness or preparation ; and states, as a fact beyond question, that fifteen had sailed with the same destination a few days before. Vessels pal pably fitted up for the conveyance of slaves were to be seen in the ship-builders' yards, and lying in the river publicly for sale. This was not all.—The handcuffs, ti►e iron fetters, the thumbscrews, destined for the refrac tory limbs of the tortured negroes on board, were 'to be seen by hundreds in the forges. —Can the French Government, which tole rates and connives at a practice so disgraceful as this in the face of day, have any sense of honour, humanity, or common shame ? But it may be asked, upon what authority are these statements grounded Upon that of a pFrson eminent for his talents and personal conside ration, who has denounced the infamy of the port of Nantes, and the scandalous participation of the French Government, to all Europe. One redeeming and consolatory circumstance there un doubtedly appears—viz. that there are in France men capable of making and responding to this appeal to humanity—and that the press in France is sufficiently free to admit of its publication. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 12. COMMISSION OF REVIEW.-POWELL v. MOUCHAT. This was a proceeding by command from the Crown, to re view a decision of the Court of Delegates concerning the pro visions of a will, the question in which arose from the following circumstances :—A person of the name of Litchfield, of low estate and illegitimate birth, was provided for by his father in a will, by which he was to take at full age to all the real and personal estate of his father, to be held in trust for that purpose by Messrs. Mouchat and Rich, and in the event of his death, then to be held in trust for the nephews and nieces of the same testator. In May, 1813, he added two codicils to the above will, which had been Made in 1807. A will was produced subsequently to the death of the testator, dated the day after the date of the codicils, which had the effect of revoking some • of the provisions of the will of 1807, and which left the illegiti mate legatee of the last-named will without any provision whatever. Upon this matter there had been a trial at law, in which it was decided that the will of 1813 was obtained under circumstances which rendered it invalid, and that the codicils of the forma will were to be taken as good and binding pro visions of the same will. The decision of the Court of Dele gates confirmed that of the Court of Common Law, and it is an appeal against this last decision that-the present commission of review was sought and is allowed:7 4 ' The Solicitor-General and Dr. Adam were heard for the ap pellants. Dr. Jenner and Mr. Newland are to be heard fin Mr. louchat.---Dr. Lushington and Mr. Pepys, Mr. Rich, Mr. Hart, and Mr. Wakefield, are retained for the infants who are interested in the will of 1813. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 12. A considerable number of Common Jury causes were dis posed of, and many of which were undefended, and all entirely uninteresting. The number of records withdrawn or incom plete form a considerable proportion of the long cause paper, which will probably be much reduced by Friday, when the Lord Chief Justice will begin to try with Special Juries. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, DEC. 12. William Rodney Chambers, Esq., was opposed by Mr. POLLOCK, on behalf of Messrs. Galway and Son, and several other creditors, principally resident in Ireland. It appeared from the insolvent's petition, that during the time the debts on his schedule were contracted be had been at tached to the army, and resided at a number of places. The petition stated hint to have been formerly of Hyde-park barracks, and of Spain and Portugal, Lieutenant in the first regiment of Life Guards, then of the city of Paris, gentleman ; of Oxford street, Cornet in the 23d Regiment of Light Dragoons, on half pay ; of New South Wales and Van Dieman's Land, Cornet in the 11th ; and of Crown-street, Westminster, Cornet in the 2lst Regiment of Light Dragoons. Mr. Comm (who held Mr. Pollock's brief) stated, that it was not the intention of the creditors to have the insolvent ex amined before the . Court on the present occasion ; he (Mr. Cooke) was, therefore, instructed to apply to the Court to hare die case referred for investigation before the Provincial As signee, at his chambers, in order for that gentleman to report upon the matters contained in the schedule, on such day as the Court might be pleased to order. The Court granted the application, and ordered the insolvent to be brought up again on the 20th instant. The Rev. Henry Lloyd, Doctor of Divinity, and Regius Professor of Hebrew in the University of Cambridge, was op posed by a person named Jolly, who claimed to be a creditor for 691. is. 10d. The opposing creditor stated that he was a compositor; and kept a boarding-house in Bride-lane, Fleet-street. In the early part of February last the insolvent and his daughter came to his house, and engaged apartments at one guinea a week, including attendance, beyond' which they were to pay for their board ad valorem, at so much per diem.—(A laugh.)—The insolvent informed witness that he enjoyed the living of Da venham, and received an emolument from his Professorship at Cambridge, beyond which, witness was given to und e r_ stand that he received 40/. a-year" from the Lords of the Ad miralty for sacerdotal duties. At the first the insolvent paid regularly, but in the course of a little time he apologized that he could not pay until he received some money from the Ac countant-General, which had been decreed to him by the Court of Chancery. This, coupled with the former representations, induced the witness to extend his credit. When he became pressing for money, the insolvent gave hint two bills for 151. each ; but on the evening before the first became due, he sent a note, stating that he was going to surrender to the Fleet prison. Cross-examined by Mr. H EATH. —Has not got the bill of particulars against the insolvent ; but the aggregate was the sum of 881. 6s. 10d. ; off which the insolvent had paid M. beyond the two bills before alluded to, upon which some of the insolvent's friends had paid 251.; so that, -altogether, he had received 53/. The reason why he still claimed 591. 7s. Hid. was, because he understood the 25/. was given as a douceur for the trouble he had been put to, in consequence of the in solvent's irregularity. The COURT expressed its surprise that such an idea should have rested in the mind of the complainant, fbr it was evidently a payment in liquidation. The insolvent denied that he ever made the representation attributed to him, relative to the living and professorship, for it was notorious that they had.been both seqUestered several years ago. With respect to the Chancery property, a decree had been made that his daughter should have 1,500/. and upwards, and the Court for some time past had allowed her 601. a year for her support. The insolvent declared that he had no power or controul over the property. The evidence having been gone Through, Mr. HEATH sub mitted to the Court, that no case had been made out against the Rev. Petitioner, to induce it to remand him; for by the complainant's own showing, he had given credit upon repre sentations made, and dwelt upon a paper winch he had pro duced, which instead of being a proof 'of property, was a proof of poverty, for it was a humble petition to the Lords of the Admiralty for a chaplaincy of 40/. a year. . Mr. Commissioner BowE - f•.l said that he did not see that Mr. Jolley had adduced evidence sufficiently strong to warrant the , Court to detain the petitioner; nevertheless, it appeared neces sary that some information should be given relative to the Chancery property, because it might turn out that the insolvent had a life interest in it. The insolvent was then remanded, in order to file the parti culars relative to the Lord Chancellor's decree, after which the Court will pronounce him discharged. LONDON MARKETS.
