r 03: l'ilE LONDON JOURNALS. November 7. :LILY ErrnAcTs FROM THE MORNING PAPEIIS, • • [MORNING POST.] We: rejoice to find, by the contents of the Dublin lournals, which arrived yesterday, that his liriajesty's paternal injunctions /have not fallen on: a barren soil. What was sown in kindness has sprung up in brotherly charity, and Ireland is indebted to the first visit of her Monarch for the abolition of those party rites which, by com memorating the triumph of the few over the an cient gfeatness of,the many; . created an undying pi rit of hoStility among thedifferentclasses of her population; and led to most of the outrages which . .hove disgraced her for upwards of a century. The outward. ceremonies of Orangeism, whose appa :rent object is not to assert or to confirm a Triqciple, but to exult over the fallen—these .! , eriodical incentives to hatred. and disturbance, i av4- . at last been suspended by the loyalty, the e .visc..lcfn and patriotism. of the Lord Mayor and the ~ iviagistracy of, bublin. A step has thus been t-..hen for their suppression. Let.us hope that it iii be total, and that the spirit which animated Monarch when he entrusted Ireland with the her peace, will not cease to act till it 'ish.ll have produced in that long distracted coun try the necessary results of conciliation—con lentment, tranquillity, and happiness. With respect to the attempt lately made to intro 'duce into' tills capital those very ceremonies c: laic h - Ireland has sense, loyalty, and pa-• •tr'otism enough to reject from her' bosom, we only say that it was worse than sense was improper and unjust. Have the fruits of popular irritation been so tempting in Ireland that means should be taken to extend its blessin g s to the metropolis of . the whole British empire It is true that those means might fail, -and that the public shows of Orangeism- might not,create amongst us the dissentious with which 'they have.always been attended in Ireland. But hy should they not ?—The reasons on which the supposition -of. their harmlessness here is founded, are also those which prove the inutility and impropriety of their introduction. There is no difference of opinion in this country on the merits of William 111. Here he is known only s a common Benefactor, the Protector of Eng lsh confirmed them by his wis dom and his sword, and to whom the country has already paid her full debt of honour and gra titude. Any attempt on the part of individuals to bestow new and private honours on his statue, is thei-efore not•only a work of supererogation, but an unmerited charge on the sincerity of the community, and a direct effort to engross to them Selves the praise of that feeling of gratitbde and veneration *which is shared by the whole people. [MOT:XING CITRONTCLE.] Some of our contemporaries are very much a a loss to reconcile the Irish and llanoveriai speeches of his Majesty .with each other. In the former his Majesty told the people of Ireland, that " his heart had been always Irish ;" and in the latter, the people of Hanover, " I have al ways been a Hanoverian—l will live and die a Hanoverian." And his Majesty's advisers are ealled'upon to explain these contradictions. It is seldom that we can conscientiously offer an excuse for his Majesty's advisers. In the pre sent case, however, we think something may be said for them. His Majesty ceases to have British responsible advisers the moment ha enters the Kingdom of Hanover. We can take no cognizance of what passes there any more than the Hanoverians can of what passes here. His Majesty might repeat to his good Hanoverian subjects the substance of the German Doctor's diatribe against Eng land, to which we lately alluded, and call the English the most brutal, selfish, and corrupt peo pie in existence, and we could have nothing to say. The King of England can do no wrong in any case, and in this case his Ministers can do no wrong. Parliament haying allowed a Foreign Sovereign to ascend our Throne, and to re tain dominions independent of this country, all the rest follows as a matter of course. Indeed, pre vious to the dissolution of the German Empire, his Majesty, as a State of that Empire, might, according to its Constitution, have been obliged to contribute his share to a vial- against England. The wisdom of our forefathers was, no doubt, very great, but they overlooked occasionally very important matters. It is when his Majesty returns to these Kingdoms that we must look to Ministers for the display of all their wis dom, and all their discretion. As it is dan gerous to, go beyond the Revolution for pre cedents, and his Majesty is the first King who has taken a fancy to visit all the three realms, we have had since that event, they must act by the unguided light of their own under standing in appeasing the contention which, like that of the tribes of Israel and Judah, for their respeCtive interests in the house of Jesse, is likely to take place in these Kingdoms. The Irish have already got the heart of his Majesty, but the Scots and English are yet to be satisfied. As the Scots are a calculating people, will they be satisfied with the head ? The share for John Bull, after this double allocation, we leave for Ministerial ingenuity. [BRITISH PIiESS.] The funds rose yesterday about, a quarter, - w ithout the apparent operation of any cause of a public nature to lead to this improvement. There were no arrivals from the Continent,in consequence of the tempestuous state of the weather. No confir mation, therefore has been given to the rumours re specting the appointment of an Ambassador from the Court of Petersburgh to the Porte, or to those contained in the last arrivals from the Continent, -which brought the ...swan ce, though expressed in more general terms, that all matters of dis agreement between the Courts of Russia and Turkey have been accommodated. Unless, there fore, the truth of the old adage were fully ad mitted and acted upon, that " no news is good news," there seemed no sufficient cause in the ordinary course of affairs for an improvement in the market. In the absence of puLlic events, which might affect the prices of stock, we must' necessarily attribute this rise to the skilful com binations of the speculators, who, as we under stand, have conspired to monopolize the greater part of the floating stock, which is necessary for the ordinary accommodation of the public, and who, therefore, can supply it to occasional pur chasers hi such quantities and at such prices as may suit their own purposes, and give an appa t'ent elevation to the general state of the market. This speculation reaches, it is said, to a very hazardous extent— W.e shall not,'therefore, be surprised if webear, at the next settling, of some defaulters to a large amount. [MORNING HERALD.] The prevalence of theft and rubbery in the metropolis has recently been made the subject of much observation in the newspapers. Some ascribe this evil to the defective organization of the police—others to our sturdy notions of liberty, which do riot admit of domiciliary visits and sum mary confinement, by the police. But all seem to acknowledge that the outrageous attacks.upon life and property have, in audacity and frequency, reached an alarming height. As to the in sinuated necessity of sacrificing the inviola bility of a man's domicile, and bowing the cornmu iiity•to summary citation and imprisonment, we believe no such sacrifice is at - all .demanded—and moreover, we believe,: that in Paris, which is so frequently contrasted with London in this view, the police does not, as it respects the repression or detectitm of common offences, use more ex tensive or summary powers than the police Qf London. It is true that political offences are, in England, hedged round by various and salutary forms of proceeding ; but against rogueS and vagabonds, reputed thieves, suspected persons and. places, the police Of London is as unin cUmbered and unimpeded as that of Paris.— There is, perhaps, room for improvement in the constitution of the police ;, but the great defect is in the severity of the lawS. The enactments are so, sanguinary, that the Juries, the Judges, - and the Executive Government itself, interfere between the criminal and the execution of his punishment,—and thus the com mission of crime has become a great game of ha zard, with many chances of escape. It is not alone want and misery, and opportunity, and the tempting chanCes of escape, that impel men to stake their lives, but also a certain gambling hardihood, which is looked upon by foreigners as a marked trait of English character. The thief and robber take a pride in the reckless pro digality of life with which they invade the laws that are made for the protection of society. [ThE TIMES.] We have hitherto confined our observations, as much as we found practicable, to the composition of the inferior parts of oar system of Police. Be fore, however, we detail the remedies which have been suggested for the evils on which, we have already touched, it will be useful to con sider the higher branches of the Police Establish ment. This establishment ought to be strictly an instrument and associate of 'our judicial sys tem : it ought not to be a political, and least of all, a Ministerial Police. Ten new Police offices—offices utterly unknown to the ancient law and Constitution—have been created, viz. [low-street, Marlborough-street, Queen-square, 11 atton-garden, Worship-street, • Whi techa pel, Shadwell,Union-hall,ThamesPolice,Marylebone. Over these offices 30 Magistrates preside; the chief 'of whom (Sir R. Birnie) has a salary of 1,c200/. per annum, and the remaining twenty nine 600/. per annum each ; all yernovable by, and therefore dependent on, the King's Cabinet Ministers. And who and what are these Magis trates ? Why, they are Magistrates who act frequently as Judges ; Magistrates with more power, considering' where they act, than any others in England, and who, being wholly de pendent on Ministers for their pay, must neces sarily feel a bias in favour of the power that supports them, in all cases between the Crown and the people. It is as strange as true, that in complete defiance of that principle from respect to which. at the outset of the last reign, twelve Judges' were declared indepen dent of the executive power, thirty Judges, and, in their character of Police Magistrates, men invested with .more immediately danger ous power than all the Judges of England put together, were in the course. of the same reign created and maintained in absolute subseiviency to the Executive Government. If we are asked what practical mischief has been the result of this unconstitutional abuse, we 'have, unfortu- nately, a ready answer, in the official conduct of the very last Chief Magistrate of Police (Sir R. Baker), and in his dismissal from office. Had Sir R. Baker been placed on the same footing of in dependence as the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, he could not have been punished for his humane desire to protect the lives of the King's subjects, and his provident endeavour to save, if possible, the Government from more ag gravated disgrace. The history of this Magis trate-furnishes at once a powerful and lamentable illustration of our general argument. [NEW TIMES.] The shipping along the coast has suffered by the late gales, but not to such a degree as to justify our considering them unusually severe for the time of year. The intercourse between this country and France has been almost entirely suspended for several days ; but we have known the suspension to last much longer, and to be more complete while it endured. In Yarmouth roads between 150 and 200 vessels lost anchors and cables, and sustained similar damage ; and some few went on shore. The loss- of lives, how ever, hitherto ascertained, has been but small ; and nothing has occurred this season at all com parable to the lamentable destruction of the Devon and Cornwall fishing, which took place some weeks ago. It is earnestly to be hoped that the weather will become more moderate before his Majesty's return from the Continent, which is expected in the course of the present week. We have heard that Sir William Curtis proceeded some days ago to the coast, iu the hope of meet- ;a . ; the king, ana tendering thom services whiCh his Majesty on his departure .from E►►gland was so-graciously pleased to accept at the blinds of the worthy• Baronet. It is amusing to see with what morbid sensi bility the disaffected Journals shrink from every thin: like an expression of loyalty toward his Iklajesty's person, even where there is no the ''Slightest' pretence for connecting such expression with the Administration of his Government. The King's entry into two of his capitals, Dublin and Hanover, has given occasion to the display of enthusiastic af fection by his Irish and Hanoverian subjects and this circumstance naturally suggested the idea that his return to London (where he cer- tainly has subjects equally loyal and equally af fectionate) might possibly be marked by some public manifestation of those feelings. On tht probability of such an occurrence we of fer no opie t ion ; but we cannot help smiling at the effect which the suggestion has had on the nerves of some of our brethren—" A broad hint !" cries one—" The Ministerial Papers are putting forth their feelers," exclaims another : and they all seem to be thrown into a cold sweat at the bare apprehension of the event. These Gentry forget how often and how vehemently they have asserted that their opposition is not to his Majesty, but to his Ministers. They, for sooth, are the most loyal subjects he has ; for as to us, who shout with joy when we see him ap pear in public, we are a mere set of Ultras,. a " packed audience" at the Theatre, a venal crowd at the Coronation ; and pure genuine loyalty is to •be found nowhere but in the immaculate columns of The Times, The News, and Woolen's Gazette Such being the case, it would be but common consistency in these en lightened Journalists to seize the opportunity of distinguishing between the King and his Minis ters, and while they constitutionally oppose the measures of the latter, to evince their equally constitutional devotion to the former. We can not close these remarks better than in the words of an animated Correspondent. " Those who aim at the destruction of all feeling of loyalty, whether by direct or indirect means, •lay at once the axe to the root of Patriotism, for he who re- veres not his King can never love his country ; and those who would wilfully raise a spirit of hostility against his Majesty's person, and would incite his people to treat him :with disrespect, ought to be held up for ever as deserving of scorn, obloquy, and contempt."--(lbid.) EXCESSIVE STUPIDITY.-A poor fellow, named Cock, a carpenter, at Denham, Cornwall, was defrauded of 311. Gs. by Gipsies, under the fol lowing circumstances :—They informed him that he was the person destined to obtain a treasure amotmting to upwards of 4,0001. in gold, which lay buried in a certain spot, near his house, which they could not point out then more pre cisely, but that if he could obtain the above sum, and carry it about him for a certain time, he would discover the place. Having made up the sum required, he carried it to the Gipsies, when, after performing some incantations, one of them, in his presence, wrapped up the money in an old handkerchief, which was given him, with a posi tive assurance, that if he did not open it for four days, nor reveal the secret, he would at the ex piration of that time infallibly find the treasure. Time dupe departed on this assurance ; but soon lafter ' beginning to fear that the Gipsy had trans- Iferred the money to her own pocket, he opened the handkerchief, and to his great joy found that the sum was really in his possession. All doubt of the truth of the Gipsy's prediction was now removed, and when the four days had expired, he went again to his erratic friends, when 'one of the women told him that she could do nothing for him, unless he would make oath that he had done as he was directed. On this the poor fellow owned that he had looked at the money. The Gipsy desired him to give her the handkerchief containing the money, and to place his hack against hers ;. this being done, she com menced gesticulating with some violence, and uttering words in a loud voice, which he did not understand. After a short time she delivered the handkerchief to him again, and desired him to provide a pick and a shovel, and that she would come to his house that night, and point out to him the spot where the treasure was hidden. The simpleton departed, provided the implements for digging, and waited up the whole night, during which he watched anxiously, but in vain, for the appearance of the, Gipsy. When the morning appeared, he began to fear he had been duped, and again opening the mysterious handkerchief, to his unspeakable surprise and dismay, he found only two-pence. It is almost unnecessary to say, that the Gipsies decamped soon after he left them, and conducted their march so secretly that no trace of them could be discovered by their nearly distracted dupe or his friends.—(Sherborn Mercury.) Sunday morning, the stone in which the flour' in Brixton House of Correction is deposited, was, for the second time, robbed by some of the in corrigible thieves A% ho have been removed thither from the public streets. One of the turnkey. found that two or three bushels had been taken out of a sack, and immediately made inquiry amongst some of the most notorious characters upon the subject. They all determined not to " split," and declared upon their honour they knew not thing at all about it. The managers of the prison howeler, were resolved to help the recollection, of this worthy association, and accordingly took all the beds from under them, with an assurance that the hard boards were the hest remedy in the world for loss of memory upon such an occa sion. The experiment proved that the managers knew with whom they ha d to deal. The thieves at first became noisy, in the hope that by terrifying the whole neighbourhood, they would oblige those who exercis ed such power over them, to remit their punishment. Wh en , however, they found that no bed was to be had without a breach of honour, they yielded to the call of nature, and betrayed those who stole the flour. The delinquents are to be brought up for punish ment. ritOM THE LONDON GAZtrrt, Nov. C.

Mr. B. instantly took off his coat and shoes, and jumped in after her. The unhappy woman, determined to destroy herself, endeavoured to keep her head under water, and she went under altogether twice, but Mr. B. being an expert swimmer, dived under the water after her, and with much difficulty succeeded in dragging the unfortunate ' woman ashore, almost lifeless. She was taken to the Receiving-house of the Humane Society, at the Blue-coat Boy, in the road, and the usual means were adopted, by which animation was restored. After some time, she said she was a married woman, and her husband resided near Lambeth-street, Whitechapel. She had pledged some property that had been entrusted to her, and not being able to redeem it was the cause of her committing the rash act. She was placed in a hackney coach, and conveyed home to her hus band. Mr. Brown, for his humane conduct, was well rewarded by several gentlemen who wit nessed the transaction.

The friend of the defendant went away at last, but the latter refused, and be haved so outrageously that the witness was obliged to put him into a coach and convey him to.the watchhOuse. Sir R. 8.111.X1E asked the defendant what excuse he had to make for his conduct. Mr. B. said, he had been dining with some friends, and had taken too much wine.

CUTTING WITH SCISSORS.' _ _ ta ed. .Richard Wood,_ a boy of 15,, was .brought up by Goodwin , a patrol, charged with Inflicting a number of wounds with a yair, of shut- pointed scissors upon the person of • Charles Scatchel' Mattock, a lad about the same age. • The prosecutor was supported ir.to the office by his father/, and allowed to sit while giving his evidence. It appeared fro ol his statement that the prisoner 'Lind he-were fellow-apprentices 0 ahearth rug manufacturer at Bethnal-green. On NWetinesils , Y last, in consequence of a quarrel abbut some materials used i 0 the trade, they had a slight scuttle, and some blows were struc k on both-sides. While they were struggling, the prisoner dreg towards a table where a pair Of. scissors and. other tools wen lying, and taking up the scissors, he plunged them into the plc ,- s'...cutor's breast. The latter called out for help, but no ' heard him, and the prisoner repeated the blow several times °,l; the arms and legs of the prosecutor. At length the latter fell to the ground, and at. that.moment their mistress hearing tb noise, called out " What's the matter to which the prisorer replied, " l've done for him—l hope I have done for A surgeon was •immediately sent for, and the prosecutor' found to have received twelve wounds—one in the breast, air.' in the anus, and one in each leg. The priioner, whose demeanour appeared to be that of 11 1 extremely sullen and ill-tempered lad, said the prosecutor (la', not fight fair, and that he warned him betore-hand, tl.at fought foul, he (prisoner) -must fight foul too. This djent. was delivered in a tone of the most perfect indifference. , • Sir R. BIRNIE, at the request of the prosecutor's asked the master of the boys, if the prisoner .Went regularly t° church ? The master said, he did not know, but he believed they h4 l went sometimes. Sir R. IlittNlE—Yon don't know ? They are your appreli' tires, Sir, and it is your bounden duty to send them to thurch.--,-:, Mind, I care not what church or chapel, so as it is a place worship. Had you done your duty by them, perhaps the pri soner would not have been in this unhappy situation.
