IRE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY rt rkets from the Morning Pverx, JON 7, 1825. [New TIMES.] We have the satisfaction of laying before the Public the- full and detailed statement of the .leyenue for the last two years, year by year, Ind quarter by quarter ; and we invite the .most minute attention to all the items of this most gratifying account. The increase on the Quarter is above Half a Million ! This, however, is but cln imperfect view of the very flourishing state of the Revenue. It is an increase in spite of the repeal of many imposts ; it is an increase at a moment when new regulations have been just introduced into our commercial system—regu lations, ho‘s ever judicious, might be sup posed to_ work ill at first from their mere novel ty ; and yet the result is such as we have stated. We said, the day before yesterday, we had reason to believe that the produce of the Stamps for the last Quarter would exceed that of the corresponding Quarter of the preceding year by at least 120,0001., and it turns out that the excess is 131,0581. Upon the Excise there ap pears at first sight to be a large decrease, and upon the Customs a still larger increase. This, however, requires explanation : a portion of the duties upon articles of Import was formerly rib jeci. to the Excise ; but the collection of those duties has, from the sth of April last, been wholly transferred to the Customs. Hence the apparent decrease on the one branch, and increase on the other. The only fair mode of comparison there fore is, to take the aggregate produce of both, thus : CUSTOMS AND EXCISE. Quarter ended sth July, 1825 - Ditto - - - 1824 - - 8,185,486 - 7,960,408 Increase - - - 225,073 This circumstance of the transfer of duties from the Customs to the Excise, renders it quite use less' for us to lay before our Readers the com parative Table (which we used to publish) of the produce of Exciseable Articles in the corres ponding Quarters. Such a comparison at the present moment would tend only to mislead, more especially as the 'measure itself is as yet only in progress. Upon the comparison of the years ended sth July, 1824 and 1825 respective ly, there is also a matter requiring explanation. The total receipt in the former of those years was 50.412,5921., in the latter 49,626,1931., leaving an apparent decrease of 786,3991. but when it is observed that of the first mentioned sum c.!,500,000/. was a repayment by Austria of an old loan, it will be evident that the actual state ment of revenue from taxation is as follows : Year ended sth July, 1825 • - £49,626,193 Ditto - - 47,912,592 Increase - £1,713,601 'S , lch and so truly flourishing is the state of our Finances ; for it must be recollected, that at this period last year we were in the receipt of a con . siderable Revenue from Silk, from Wool, from Rum; from Salt, from the Stamps on Law Pro ceedings, &c. &c. which at present is remitted. The pressure of taxation has been lightened, but the industry and commerce of the country rushes 'ft to supply the void : and the evidence to be drawn from the state of the Revenue is, that our national prosperity advances with unexampled szezditiess. [THE TIMES.] The session of Parliament which is just closed having ,been a somewhat dull session, it cannot be expected that the King's speech, which of neces sity or by usage refers only to the preceding sub iects of discussion, should be very lively : and, accordingly, the speech pronounced by the Lord Chancellor as one of the Commission yesterday, affords but little worthy of remark. Every thing is very peaceable abroad ; the Commons have been liberal ; and the revenue is thriving. What would we more ? Yet Ireland, unhappy Ireland, forms as ever the topic of an unblessed para graph :—" Tile state of that country has been inquired into with zeal and assiduity," and " its tranquillity and improved condition afford " particular gratification to His Majesty." Again, we ask, what would we more ? Alas ! we would much more : we would, that the tranquillity and improved condition of Ireland would cease to be the subject of particular gratification. The Bur tnese war is slightly touched on ; and his Ma jesty is highly sensible of the advantages which roust result from the more liberal system of the commercial policy which we have adopted. The year's and quarter's revenue just closed are published as usual ; together with the reve nue of the preceding year and its last quarter, for the sake of comparison. Protracted peace must of necessity tend to produce ease, and ac cumulate wealth, or else we should never be able to go to war again ; but at the same time we be lieve, that the advantages resulting from peace Mace been as pertinaciously withheld from us in this country as in any of the States of the Conti nent, in which, being despotically governed, the voice of the people counts for nothing, and they have no representatives. Customs and Excise, taken in the aggregate (for with a view to finan-1 cial arrangement a transfer has been made from one to the other), during the last year have in creased by 1,419,6611. The other taxes are less by 164,8771. during the last than the preceding year; but the revenue from the Stamps and Post Office is much greater. Upon the whole, the revenue of last year exceeds that of the former by 1,713,6011. The increase on the last quarter is little more than half a million. We hope'Go vernment will do all in its power to force money into legitimate channels of commerce, by discou raging seductive speculations.—(ibid.) [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Yesterday closed the Session, and, perhaps, the present Parliament. The Royal Speech, on re leasing the Lords and Gentlemen from " their laborious attendance in Parliament," is highly gratulatory ; and where facts are awanting, hope steps forward, lending to the future her usual brilliant colouring. Ireland has, of course, been tranquillized and improved by Parliament, but the victims of an_ill-planned and rashly commenced war are multiplying on us in India. His Majesty trusts, that " the gallant exertions of the British and native forces employed in operations in the enemy's territory, may lead to a speedy and satisfactory termination of the contest." —So be it. The last Session may, with justice, be described as the commencement of a new Par liamentary sera. What will hereafter be of most importance, is not that which most engaged the attention of Parliament and of the nation. The discussions on the Catholic Question were dis graceful to the Legislature, and not honourable to the nation, disclosing to Europe the intense selfishness and hypocrisy of the High Church party, and the deplorable ignorance of a con siderable part of the population, especially in the remote districts, with respect to the limits be tween civil and ecclesiastical matters, of which the High Churchmen availed themselves. The people of the Continent have been attentive observers of these proceedings, and nothing has been of more service to the Governments of the Holy. Al liance than the contrast which has thus been; on their subjects, between the bigotry and illiberality, in religious matters, which are still so prevalent in England, with all her boast-1 ed advantages, and the peace and brotherly love which have long prevailed among the different persuasions in several extensive States. Ba the discussion respecting Ireland, and tho right of our Catholic fellow-citizens, in which a spirit was displayed which belongs to a former country rather than the pre sent, however valuable they may be to the future historian,as illustrative of the text, " where soever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together," as explanatory of the con nection between Ecclesiastical revenues and ran cour and uncharitableness, of the influence of material interests on inquiry, and though they have given a sort of bustling importance to a Chester, a Ma,9,-,ee, and other kindred spirits,— who, to use a homely phrase, know well on which side their bread is buttered,—will soon pass from our remembrance. But On other subjects, in which Micisters were left at liberty to follow the dictates of honesty, they have deserved well of the country. [TILE PUBLIC LEDGER.] The Speech, delivered yesterday by Commis sion, on the Prorogation of Parliament, begins with an expression of the greatest satisfaction at both Houses being relieved from their laborious attendance. We do not know whether laborious or attendance is meant here, but the compliment is certainly of an equivocal character. It then returns the warmest acknowledgments for the zeal and assiduity with which the inquiries into the state of Ireland had been prosecuted—a feel ing in which, as every one is aware, the people of that country fully and cordially parti cipate. It next speaks in terms of high satis faction of the friendly disposition of all Fo reign Powers towards this country, which certainly is not extraordinary on the part of some of them, seeing the great care we have taken to oblige and conciliate them, which has been carried so far as . to omit all mention in the Speech of the New American States. The next is equally gratify ing ; we allude to the universal wish which is said to prevail for the maintenance of peace, and we trust we shall hear no more of the restlessness of the Great Powers, as from this it is clear they are perfectly satisfied with things as they are. The war with the Burmese is • then adverted to, and a confident hope is expressed that by the gal lant exertions of the British troops, it will he brought to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion. We are glad that the accomplishment of this pre diction is confided to the gallantry of the troops, than whom better never existed ; but as to the direction of the war, it is a woeful falling off from the high character of our military operations in that quarter. The concluding passage of the Speech is, in our opinion, by far the most im portant, in which his Majesty is made to express his sense of the advantages likely to result from the regulations made in the course of the Session, in favour of trade. They are fully entitled to the confidence which is expressed in their beneficial tendency ; but, like all improvements, leased upon solid principles, they require time to de velope themselves. [BRATISH PRESS.] We deem it one of the peculiar blessings of this country, and a chief cause of that high tone of moral and religious feeling by which English men have long been so honourably distinguished, that the province of education has been almost exclusively confined to the clergy. The principal and assistant-masters of our great public schools are, with scarcely any exceptions, clergymen. Most of the Colleges in our Universities are, by their constitution, clerical, as far as regards the Fellows and Tutors. The greater number of respectable private schools are under similar superintendence, and there is hardly a private tutor of respectability who is not a clergyman. One advantage of this system is, that the nation has a great security for the moral respectability, as well as literary attainments of those to whom the educatio❑ of its youth is confided. Another is, that the rising generation are reared in principles of attachment to the established re ligion of the land. In following this course we have the best assurance that the youth of this Christian country will be imbued with some knowledge of the evidences, the doctrines, and the precepts of the religion.which they profess. Where there is systematic instruction in religious know ledge, the students are at least reminded of its im portance, and not suffered to be ignorant for want of having their attention directed to the most im portant of all the subjects of human knowledge. So far is it from being true, as is asserted in the Morn ing Chronicle, that at Oxford no religious instruc tion is imparted to the students there, that regu lar lectures are given in every College on some portion of the Scriptures, and at neither Univer sity, under the regulations of late years, can any young man proceed to his first degree, without undergoing an examination in the . evi dences of history, and contents of the New Testament. This is one of the features which I honourably distinguish our English Universities I from those of Scotland; and it is the want of this provision for religious instruction—not simply the accidental want, but the delibe rate and avowed exclusion of it—which we hold to be a fatal objection to the proposed London Academy, in the eyes of every pious and sincere member of the English Church. The distinction which is attempted to be taken between the case of young men residing in the Universities and those who continue to live with their parents (to whom the business of religion under the new system is to be left), might be worth attention were it true—which it is not—that the parents of those youths who are likely to attend the Lon don Academy Lectures were competent and at leisure to read lectures on divinity to their sons. [MORNING POST.] We stated in our Paper of yesterday, that some unexpected hesitation had taken place in Mexico in ratifying the Treaty of Commerce with this country. We have now to announce that this hesitation continued till the Ist of May, when, after considerable opposition, the Treaty was ra tified by the Legislative Assembly. It was then sent to the Senate, by which body also it was ex pected to be agreed to in a few days. So certain, indeed, was this event considered, that Mr. Mo rier was making the necessary preparations to set out with it for England about the 10th May. The objections which were made to the Treaty are va riously stated in different letters. It is said that some dissatisfaction was felt at the absence of a distinct verbal recognition of independence, as if the formation of a treaty were not, in itself, such a recognition. The clause that Great Bri tain should be placed in its commercial relations with Mexico on the footing of the most favoured State (with the exception of Spain and the new Republics), seems also to have liven rise to some objections or misconceptions. It is certainly probable, that from the diplomatic inexperince of the Committee of Congress, the import of the term " most favoured States," was misconceived, and supposed, instead of conveying the stipula tion that Great Britain should be placed on a footing inferior to no other State, to import that she should be raised above them all. It would be idle to indulge in any feelings of ani mosity on account of such an occurrence. It must be recollected that undue suspiciousness is as much the characteristic of ignorance as undue credulity ; and when we consider the want of information which must necessarily exist among the majority of the Mexican Congress, men edu cated in a province of such a Monarchy as Spain, we should not wonder or be offended at the mani festation of either of these qualities iu their first proceedings. [MORNING HERALD." Not only common humanity, but the interests of religion itself, strongly suggest the release of the person named Carlile, who was at one time so notorious, but is now so obscure a personage. He and his publications would he wholly for gotten or contemned, if his long imprisonment and periodical appeals to Parliament did not keep him and them in the recollection of the public. Let him be but quietly released in the interval between this and the next Ses. sion, and there will be an end of him. It was never contemplated in his sentence that it should subject him to perpetual imprisonment—or even to a confinement of such a length as he has actu ally suffered. The very idea of sentencing even him to so many years of captivity would have shocked the very Judge who pronounced it. The imposition of fines, without regard to the fortune or circumstances of the individual, is a most delicate power. Its capability of abuse is not glaringly observed, only. because it has, since the Revolution, been used with discretion. But that must be an anomaly in a system of juris prudence, professing to be equal, which, in precisely the same words, confines one man for a short and specified period, and another for life— at the mercy of the Government. There is also something perilously loose and ill-understood in the very term of blasphemy, which is applied to the offence 'of Carlile. Offences should be spe cified and expressed with precision and clear ness. But is that a precise and clear deno mination which is applied to the fanatic James Naylor and the infidel Carlile? This proves that instead of expressing a particular and defined mode of wrong doing, it is a cameleon word, which changes its colour according to existing opinions, or the purposes of those who use it. Before the Reformation, blasphemy and heresy were obviously synonyinow , , and punish ed by the Archbishop of - Canterbury. An in stance is mentioned of a man accused of blas phemy and heresy in the reign of Henry VII., for denying that tithes were due to the Par son. Heresy, hitherto the technical word, was dropped in reformed countries. But when the term heresy was proscribed, and that of blas phemy adopted, a serious difficulty occur red, in rendering the latter punishable by law. In the case of the poor fanatic Naylor, some were for putting him to death under the writ de heretico comburendo, and others, under the autho rity of the 24th chapter of Leviticus, where the blaspheming Egyptian is stoned to death. 'f ire term itself is a most delusive one, and may be taken in either of two senses—as signifying simply " blame," with is an abbreviation of it from the common Greek origin—or in the sense of cursing and reviling the name of God —which is the more popular and honest accep tation.—The Latin definition of a blasphemer, on the best authority, is qui conteinptu contumelias in Drum projicit'et iracundia. It is obvious that this definition does not apply to the simple and conscientious denial and discussion of the evi dences of a particular faith, but only to the per son reviling that faith in malice and a lying spi rit. The law of libel in general is sufficiently vague and ensnaring, but in this particular in stance it is loose and anomalous beyond all reason. The will of the late Right Hon. CHARLES Earl Wiirrwonrn was proved in the Prerogative Court, Doctor's Commons, on the 30th ult. by the Most Noble Arabella Diana, Duchess Dowager of Dorset, the relict, the sole executrix. Her Grace is the universal legatee. The personals were sworn under 70,000/. It is dated the 20th Dec. 1815. LITERARY NOTICE. NARRATIVE of an EXPEDITION to the SOURCE of ST. PETER'S RIVER, &c. 2 vols. Bvo. It appears that the success which attended the expedition of Captains Lewis and CLARKE to the River Columbia has induced the American Go vernment to prosecute the exploration of its northern territory. The existence of the River St. Peter, situate to the north of the Upper Mis sissipi, rested upon the authority of Carver, who visited it in 1778, but his account was not gene rally considered as accurate. To set this ques. Lion at rest, the American Government, in 1823, dispatched an expedition under the command of Major Say, an account of which is contained in the volumes now before us. By those among our readers who delight in geographical and geo logical pursuits, they cannot fail of proving high ly interesting. Mr. Keating has given a plain, but satisfactory narrative of the various objects that fell under his own observation, and that of his fellow travellers. It contains several pleas ing and interesting traditionary tales of the na tives, from which we select the following for the amusement of our readers—it relates to the Maiden Rock, upon the Banks of the Mississipi : " There was a'time," our guide said, as we passed near the base of the rock, 44 when this spot, which you now admire for its untenanted beauties, was the scene of one of the most me lancholy transactions that has ever occurred among the Indians. There was in the village of Keoxa, in the tribe of Wapasha, during the time that his father lived and ruled over them, a young Indian female, whose name was Winona, which signifies first-born. She had conceived an at tachment for a young hunter, who recipro cated it. They had frequently met, and agreed to an union, in which all their hopes centered ; but, on applying to her family, the hunter was surprized to see himself de nied ; and his claims superseded by those of a warrior of distinction, who had sued for her.— The warrior was a general favourite with the na tion ; he had acquired a name by the services he had rendered his village when attacked by the Chippewas; yet, notwithstanding all the ardour with which he pressed his suit, and the counte nance lie received from her parents and brothers, Winona persisted in preferring the hunter. To the usual commendations of her friends in favour of the warrior, she replied, that she had made a choice of a man, who being a professed, would spend his life with her, and secure for her comfort and subsistence ; while the warrior would be constantly absent. Winona's expostulations were, however, of no avail, and her parents, having succeeded in driving away her lover, began to use harsh measures to compel her to unite with the man of their choice. To all her intreaties that she should not be forced into an union so repugnant to her feelings, they turned a deaf ear. Being a favourite with her brothers, they expressed a wish that her consent should be obtained by persuasive means, rather than that she should b e c ompelled to it against herincli nation. With a view to remove some of her ob jections, they took means to provide for her fu ture maintenance, and presented the warrior all that in their simple mode of living an Indian might covet. About that time a party was formed to ascend from the village to Lake Papine, to lay in a stock of the blue clay found upon its banks, and which is used by the Indians as a fig ment. Winona and her friends were of the com pany. It was on the very day they visited the lake that tier brothers offered their presents to the warrior. Encouraged by these, he again ad• dressed her, but with the same ill success.— Vexed at what they deemed an unjustifiable obsti nacy on her part, her parents remonstrated in strong language, and even used threats to compel her to obedience. 46 Well," said Winona, 64 you will drive me to despair. I said I loved him not ; I wished to remain a maiden, but you will not. You say you love me—that you are my father, my brothers, my relations ; yet you have driven me from the only man with whom I wish ed to be united ; you have compelled him to withdraw from the village. Alone he now ranges through the forests, with no one to assist him—none to spread his blanket—none to build his lode—none to wait on him : yet he was the man of my choice. Is this your love ? But even it appears that this is not enough—you would have me do more ; you would have me rejoice in his absence—vou wish me 'to unite with another man, with one I do not love—with whom I can never be happy. Since this is your love, let it be so ; but soon you will have neither daughter, nor sister, nor relation, to torment with your false professions of affection." As she uttered these words she withdrew ; but her parents, heedless of her c o mplaints, resolved that this very day Winona should be united to the Warrior. While all were engaged in busy pre parations for the festival, she wound her way slowly to the top of the hill. When site had reached the summit, she called out with a loud voice to her friends below ; she upbraided them for their cruelty to herself and her lover ; " You," said she, " were not satisfied with op. posing my union with the man I had chosen, you endeavoured, by deceitful words, to make me faithless to him ; but when you found me re solved upon remaining single, you dared to threaten me. lou knew me not, if you thought that I would be terrified into obedience ; you sh a ll, soon see how well I can defeat your de signs." She then commenced to sing her dirge ; the light wind which blew at the time wafted her words towards the spot where her friends were. They immediately rus h e d, some towar d s th e summit of the hill, to stop her ; others to the foot of the precipice, to receive her in their arms; while all, with tears in their eyes, entreated her to desist from her fatal purpose. Her father promised that no compulsive measure should be resorted to ; but she was resolved, and, as she • concluded the words of her song, she threw her self from the precipice, and fell a lifeless corpse near her distressed friends. " Thus," added our guide, " has this spot acquired a melancholy ce lel►rity ; it is still called the Maiden's Rock, and no Indian passes near it without involuntarily casting his eye towards the giddy height, to con template the place where this unfortunate girl fell a victim to the cruelty of her relentless parents." CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday an Inquisition was held at tile Dolphin public house, Long-alley, Finsbury, before T. STIR LING, Esq. Coroner, on view of the body of Ann Brown, a woman between 40 and 50 years of age, residing in Crooked Billet-court, Long-alley, who was found in her bed on Sunday night last, with her throat cut. This case has excited intense interest throughout the neigh bourhood, in consequence of the apprehension of the husband of the deceased, on suspicion of having murdered her. The Jury, having been sworn, proceeded to the house to view the body, which presented a dreadful spectacle, being little else than skin and bones, and the windpipe being severed. On the return of the Jury, one of them (Mr. Constable) said he wished to observe on the impropriety of removing the situa tion in which it had been found, before it was seen by the Jury, a practice, he said, by which they were prevented front forming so perfect an opinion as they might otherwise be enabled to do, as to the manner of the death of the deceased. The summoning officer replied, that it was done by direction the Coroner (Sir. Un win, for whom Sir. Stirling officiated on this occasion), who desired that the body might be removed, and place in proper order. Sir. Constable repeated that he thought the practice improper. and some others of the Jury expressed the same opinion. Henry Powell was then sworn, and deposed, that h_, occupied a room on the same floor with the deceased, who had been bed ridden for the last five weeks, and could not get out of bed with out assistance. Witness saw her on Sunday afternoon between four and five o'clock, and then fed her with a spoon. She wa+ so weak that he could not understand what she said, but from the motion of her lips it appeared tis if she said, " God blesi. you." About twelve o'clock that night witness felt himself shaken by his wife, and, on awakening, heard Brown, the de ceased's husband, exclaim, " Oh, you wicked woman ! you wicked woman !" Witness immediately ran to Brown's room. where he found the deceased lying on her back in bed with her throat cut. Witness asked for the razor which had done the deed, and, on its being produced front a drawer by a little boy, son of the deceased, witness threw it against the grate. and broke it, exclaiming, " It shall never cut another throat." Witness was so agitated at the time, that he cannot say whether Brown spoke or not, nor whether there was blood upon the . razor. The witness deposed also, that the deceased, during her illness, had been treated with great tenderness by her hus band, who provided every thing for her which his means would allow of. To questions by the Jury, he replied, that be did not know' that Brown was taken to the watchhouse in consequence of anY charge made against him. Could give no reason for his being taken to the watchhouse. Never saw any reason to think that the deceased was in an unsound state of mind. Mr. James Farmer, of No. 54, Crown-street, surgeon, wag called to the deceased about half-past 12 on Sunday night. He found an incision of about an inch and a half in the windpipe- She appeared to have bled very little. In the emaciated state in which the deceased appeared, a small effusion of blood would be sufficient to cause death. He thought that if the wound had; been inflicted by a stronger hand than the deceased's, it would have been done more effectually. Mary Ann Powell, wife of the first witness, confirmed hi* testimony, and added that within the last six months the de ceased had buried two children, which appeared to have preyo upon her mind. On the occasion of burying the last she a>' pressed a hope that in six months more she herself would be in the grave with it. This witness also deposed to the kindness with which the deceased during her illness had been treated bf her husband. • Wm. Brown, aged twelve years, son of the deceased, slep t with his brother, in the same room with his father and mother' On Sunday he went to bed between nine and ten o'clock. 05 father came home that evening, not sober, but not very drunk' and laid across the bed. He was asleep hetbre witness went t 6 bed. Witness in the night heard his father say, " Oh, :IT: 2 wicked woman, what have you done to yourself ?
