THE LONDON JOURNALS.. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM TUE MORNING PAPERS, October 13. [MORNING HERALD.] THE KING.-Yesterday; at an early hour in tote morning, dispatches were received from bord Castlereagh, announcing the arrival of his Ma jesty, in high health and spirits, at Hanover.— He entered the city at nine o'clock at night, on -last Ailonday. The town .was all life and splen dour; the streets were illuminated, the military. drawn out on duty, the guns fired, the bells rung, and, the population flocking from all sides to wards the harrier through which his Majesty •en tered-all appeared animated with the most loyal aDd -affectionate enthuslism. Notwithstanding the distance from Brussels to Ilanover, and the rapidity with which the King travels, his health had not in the least suffered beyond the ordinary fatigue consequent upon the movement and con fnernent of a carriage ; and even of this his Ma ,joty had less appearance than most of those who ccraposed his suite. The receptions, however, were rather private ; and the addresses and for rnal congratulations of the Authorities, and other .public bodies, were postponed to the following and fUture days. [MOANING POST.] The French Papers to the 10th instant, which arrived yesterday, contain an Ordonnance fixing the opening of the 'Chambers for the sth of next month, instead of the 29th', which had been pre viously, but not officially, mentioned. The.new elections are proceeding rapidly, and from the nature of the returns already made, it does not ap pear that the relative strength of the three parties, into which the Chamber of Deputies is divided, will experience any material alteration: Most orthe old members have been re-elected, but if there be any difference, it may perhaps take place in favour of the Liberals, as the Ministers ha"ving been once more abandoned bythe Ultras, are disposed to support any nomination which may tend to curtail their influence. These Papers continue to give the most favourable represen tations of the abatement of the fever in Spain.— AccOrding to their statements, the ravages of that fearful disorder would appear to have com pletely subsided ; and if it be true, as it is said to have been announced by a telegraphic dis pstch, that some of the Regiments who were marching to reinforce the cordon on the frontiers have been recalled, no doubt can be entertained of the danger having lost much of its importance in the eyes of the French Government. - Yet, ac cording to other accounts, the frontiers are guard ed with unabated vigilance and inflexible seve rity. All individuals who do not conform to the quarantine laws, and keep within the only roads left open for communication between the two countries, are ordered to be shot if they attempt to penetrate on the French territory. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We this day publish an interesting' inquiry into the motives which induced the Portuguese Government to alter the import duty on British Woollens from 15 to 30 per cent. the operation of 'which alteration commenced on the 15th of last August.—(See our front page.)—By many "Englishmen this alteration has been construed into a breach of an existing treaty with Portugal; but we think our Correspondent has satisfactorily shewn that there has been no infractionof Treaty on this occasion, and that the act of the Cortes goes no farther than to restore the duty to the rate at which it was fixed by the last. Treaty, and to place it on the footing on which it actually remained for three years after the signing of that Treaty. The Tariff which has been repealed, existed only under a Decree of the King subse (Flea to the Treaty ; and as this regulation was altogether internal, it was in the power of the Cortes to alter it when they pleased. [THE TimEs.l One precious fruit of - the 'prohibiting system resorted to by the Spanish Government," is the universality and perfection of the art of smug gling throughout Spaia. We copy from a Madrid paper an article on that subject (see a subsequent column), which will be read with interest by the curious, and might (but that is less certain) be studied' with advantage by .. the official ad vocates of restraints and prohibitions among our countrymen. A. tariff of enormous duties upon foreign goods was the first specimen afforded by the Cortes of the progress made by Spanish' Statesinen in the elements of political economy. But this measure, as might have been foreseen, has failed of every purpose which it could by possibility have been designed to answer. It has failed as a' spur to Spanish industry; for no additional step has been taken to establish or promote any. native manufacture. It has totally failed as a prohibition ; for Spain is over run with foreign fabrics from every part of Eu rope ; and, as a financial experiment, its success is not less signal than notorious, inasmuch as the smugglers on every coast and in-every bay of the Peninsula, have saved the officers of the King's Government the trouble of collecting any duties. The Custom-house was never so poor. as at this moment in Spain, and contraband never flourished so extensively. Had the. Spanish Ministers et - • titled their law of the - tariff " A 13111 for enabling 4C certain Merchants of Gibraltar to make large " fortunes in the shortest possible time . ," it would have been more appropriate to its professed object. We understand that the Finance Ministers have it in contemplation to propose to the Extraordinary Cortes a revision of a commercial system, which has been rendered practically subservient to pur poses the opposite of those for which its framers designed it. [NEW TIMES.] It is really silly in_The Morning Chronicle to evince sty much vexation at our plain matter of fact-statements. What ! Almost three, columns of defence, and nothing at all to the point ? The other day it boasted of the character of its own proprietor, and IlcoW it attacks the character of ours. Does it suppose that these utterly irrele levant matters will disturb. our security ; or that eve shall descend prom the strong ground we have taken, because our antagonist cannot meet us there ? The question is simply this, are more and worse libels to be met with in The Morning Chronicle, or in John Bull? We - say, in the former. Now really, if we are wrong, there can be nothing easier ' than to prove us so ; but it is not to be done by calling us names, nor by saying that we defend calumny, nor byl talking of Dr. Priestley's house having been pulled down thirty years ago, nor by telling us that Mr. Southey is a courtier and a Tlaceman ; it is to be done (if at all) by quoting paragraphs from each of the two Papers in ques tion, and putting them fairly in competition with each other. Let the Chronicle do this, and we shall cheerfully leave the decision to the public. Our impression, we must own, is, that the public already laugh enough at the pretensions of either the Chronicle or John Bull to purity, and apply to tbeir abuse of each other as scandalous, the old proverb of the pot and the kettle. [BRITISH PRESS:I It appears from the table of the public revenue for the year ending the 10th inst. that, after all the boasted increase of the revenue in the quarter just ended compared with the corresponding quarter of last year„there is a deficiency in the total produce of the revenue of the year 1821, compared with that of ]B2O, amounting to 115,0001. The de crease, undoubtedly, is inconsiderable, but it is a positive decrease. The increase in the Ex cise for the quarter, as compared with the cor responding quarter of last year, has also' been misrepresented. It, was stated at from 600,0001. to 700,0001.,. whereas the real increase is 597,2051. and even in this department, the success of which is so much boasted, this increase in the last quarter does ❑ot suffice to cover the de crease in the three preceding quarters ; and there is a deficiency in the Excise 'for the whole year, compared with 1820, to the amount of 17,147/. We noticed yesterday that the extraordinary circumstance of the Coronation must have con tributed to the produce of the Excise for the last quarter, and we find accordingly, in the financial table, that the items in which the greatest increase has taken place are beer and malt. The increase for the quarter in the latter is 488,0741.; being nearly five-sixths of the whole increase of the Excise for the quarter just ended. . We are not, however, surprised that the Treasury runners should have sought to pre-occupy the public mind with a flourishing state of the revenue, although aware that the fact will not sustain their state ment. They have only to put forward the bright side of the subject, somewhat highly coloured, and to keep back every. thing that might throw a shade upon it. This course they adopted in the quarter ended the sth of July last. It is their common practice, and we had a right to expect they would not depart from it on the pre sent occasion. STEAM PACKETS. We stated, some time ago, that not less than twelve steam boats ply from this port. This number will soon be increased. Three new boats are now building in Messrs. Mottershead and Hutchinson's yard ; one large one to ply between this port and Greenock ' • another, between this port and Bagillt; and a third is destined to sail regularly to the vicinity of Lancaster. One river is also projected to cross the between this port and Seacomb. When all these boats shall' be finished, the number of our steam-packets will, we have no doubt, double that of any other place in the kingdom.—(Liverpool Courier.) We understand that the proprietors of the Cambria, steam packet, at a meeting held a few.slays ago, determined on build ing another vessel, to ply daily, by way of Hoylake, between Wales and this port. She will be ready early next spring, and the public will thus be accommodated with a conveyance every mornirg and evening, both from Bagillt and Liverpool. The communication between the rivers Dee and '.‘Jersey, with the improvements to be made at the landing-place in. Wales, will then be perfect; and, we are informed, there is some proba bility that one of the vessels will sail regularly once every week, during the summer months, by way of Hoylake and the Point of Ayr, to Beaumaris and Bangor, leaving passengers at Aber gele and Conway, to return by the same course.—(ldem.) Yesterday afternnon (Monday, Bth inst.) the Tourist arrived from London in fifty-two hours. The regularity with which the London steam-vessels have performed heir voyages during the late g a les of wind must in a great measure remove all doubts of their incompetency for the passage, and establish that confidence with the public which they seem to merit.—(Edin burgh Paper.) A Frankfort Paper contains the following amusing notice from a Professor : Professor Krug has sent us the following :—" There is not one word of truth in all that Mr. Clod, Student of Divinity, has said in respect to me, in No. 133 of the Hamburg Corres pondent.! This Mr. Clod has either lost his senses or he is an Impostor, if he is not the tool of a wretched intrigue, intended to make a good cause ridiculous by a foolish defence of it. In general I request that all accounts about me in the papers may be looked at with distnist, as they are partly quite false, and partly but half true. " Prof. KRUG. " Leipsic, Sept. 23." • General EDEN, who was obliged to have one . of his hands amputated in consequence of the bursting of his gun, whilst shooting, a few days ago, on Lord Buckingamshire's manor, is now rapidly recovering. m urtoEn. , —On Saturdaylast an Inquest was held at the Knuck las, in the parish of Hayup, in the county of Radnor, before ED WARD MEREDITH, I:sq., one of the Coroners for the county, for the purpose of ascertaining how Arthur Bedward, late of die parish of Beguildy, tailor (who was found murdered and thrown into a ditch near the road leading from Knighton to the Llay ney), on the Friday morning preceding, came hythis death ; and after a patient and attentive examination of the case, the Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Samuel Har ley, of the parish of Knighton, labourer, and he was committed to the common gaol at Presteign to take his trial for the same. The deceased was an elderly man, of the age of CO or upwards, and was murdered as he was going home from Knighton mar ket on the Thursday night, between the hours of ten and eleven; he has left a widow and ten children to lament his untimely end. On Sunday Samuel Harley cut his throat with a razor in the prison, and no hopes are entertained of his recovery.—(Here ford Journal.) SETTING FIRE TO A WATCH-HousE.—A few evenings ago,' Smith, a constable of Lambeth, apprehended a boy named Crow, about 17 years of age, on a charge of stealing, and lodged him in Lambeth cage for the night, where there was also another prisoner confined. About one o'clock in the morning, he was informed that the watch house was in a blaze, and the fire had 'gained such an ascendancy, that it was feared the pri soners had been burnt to death. lie hastened to the spot, the watchmen following him with the two parish engines, and after half an hour's incessant labour, extinguished the flames. On proceeding to the interior of the watch-house, he found Crow with the sleeve of his coat on fire, and his arm a little burnt, and the other prisoner nearly suffocated by the smoke, but not injured by the fire. The boy, Crow, was suffering so much pain, that at the moment he confessed hav ing set fire to the place. The watch-house was completely destroyed (at least the timber-work) so that Smith was obliged to convey them to the Surrey, watch-house during the might. SPAIN. ON CONTRABAND TRADE. [From " TUE UNIVERSAL:" Smuggling will always prevail in proportion to the- number and rigour of prohibitory laws, or the excessive privileges given to certain articles in legal commerce, in spite of the wisest and most efficacious measures that may be adopted to extinguiSh it ; for, besides. the stimulus of gain, there is among a certain class of persons a sort of pride in overcoming the dangers which this traffic presents.—N-otwitlistanding the present outcry against the evils attendant on smuggling, and the relaxation which is so much complained of, 1 do not believe that greater frauds were committed than in 1803 and the following years, at which period the exclusiTe. privilege conferred on the cotton-manufactures of Catalonia gave so much offence to the merchants of the other provinces, that they vied with each other in eluding the prohibitive system, in doing which they were assisted by the English, who established ware houses of cotton goods in Gibraltar and Portu gal, at prices sufficiently low to indemnify the smugglers for the risks they encountered, and to render all competition on the part of the Cata lonians impossible. The consequence was, that all the classes who live by mercantile industry entered into this trade, and every Spanish mer chant had a concealed stock of English goods. Buonaparte pushed the prohibitions to the highest extentin every country where he possessed power; but all his confiscations and burnings of English goods had no other effect than to excite disgust throughout all Europe against such unheard-of oppression.—lt cannot be doubted that a guard well mounted, well commanded, and well sup ported, would have great effect in impeding the contraband trade ; but such means of precaution ought to be considered merely as auxiliaries of the law which should annul or reduce within as narrow limits as possible the prohibitive system, in order that private interests, which will always overcome the osbtacles opposed to them, may not too strongly revolt against that system. how is it possible to prevent smuggling, and to guard with five or six or even with 40,000 men the vast extent of our coasts and frontiers ?—To the inconveniences already mentioned, we have to add, that a military guard cannot now interfere in commercial transactions in that arbitrary man ner which was formerly practised, because such interference would be quite inconsistent with a representative Government. But suppose it possible so to instruct and regulate this military body as to make it act in harmony with the con stitutional system, it would be necessary to have a maritime guard and sentinels placed in watch-towers to secure the prompt co-operation of the forces on sea and land. What I state on this subject is founded in an experience of 12 years in an office which I discharged with the approbation of the Ministry ; and to chew the difficulty of preventing smuggling, I shall describe the manner in which the introduction of contra band goods is effected. Suppose, for example, that a contraband cargo is intended to be landed on the 24th of January, at a point determined on. The broker, or practico as he is called, sends off by anticipation his letters of invitation to the different towns of the di3trict, accompanied with samples of the goods, and a note of the prices. He at the same time sends a notice to the smug glers to repair on the 23d to four or five different points, mentioning the number of armed men 'that ought to assemble, and the places in which they should station themselves. On the 24th the practico sends a messenger to each of the points, in , which it has been agreed that parties should be assembled, to guide thorn during the night to that part of the coast where the landing is to be effected. These parties proceed on their march in the most profound silence : and have on their front, flanks, and rear, scouts, who make signals when it is necessary to warn them of any danger. When all the parties are brought together, the practico collects money from them in proportion to the goods they are to receive ; and this done he marches with the whole body to the place where he had agreed with the master of the smuggling vessel the goods should be landed. He then establishes his outposts, makes a signal, the launchers with the goods are rowed on shore, and in two hours the business is finished. The mules are loaded, and the practico accorapaniea thetn to the distance of two or three leagues until he sees them in security, or he leaves them at some point where the, smugglers disperse to go to their respective homes. The prac tico is well paid both by the ship master and the smugglers. With such precautions and such dexterity, it will readily appear that it must be very difficult for the military guard to prevent smuggling.. How is it possible for 322 men to guard the 76 leagues of coast in the kingdom of Valencia, on which rich contraband cargoes are frequently landed ?—During the ministry of Senor Soler, great efforts were made to put down smuggling. One of the measures of that ministry was to appoint Royal Commissioners with very extensive powers, who imprisoned persons, se questered property, and had in fact the liberty and property of citizens at their disposal. By this arbitrary authority, and with the assistance of the troops, smuggling was in a great measure suppressed in Granada and Malaga. Another commission was nominated for Murcia, Cartha gena, and Alicant, which followed a different course, and obtained an equally advantageous result, with less severe and tyrannical means.— This commission proceeded oe a plan, the adop tion of which would not be inconsistent with the constitutional system. Six vessels were appointed to guard the coast, lines of patrols and custom house officers were formed on land, and telegra phic signals announced the point on which a landing appeared to be intended. - Every thing was so arranged, that within half an hour the whole force of the patrols and the guard-boats could be in motion on any given point. Thus the mischief of smuggling was checked in these provinces, and the result was an extraordinary augmentation of the revenue in the article of tolxtcco, on which the greatest fraud used to take place ; for in the year 1804 the value eonsumed, in the three provinces, of Brazil tobacco and segars was 1,305,795 reals ) whereas "in the year. 1807 the value amounted to 10,420,$03,rnaking, an. increase of .9,115,098 reals : and , yet • in exe cuting the plans of this conimission only Oree persons were imprisoned. riiE A It MY. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 10.—The 55th Regiment of Foot arrived on Monday (the Bth inst.) from Dublin, and the first detach , . ment marched from hence this morning on their route for Chatham. The 22d Regiment embarked and sailed for Ireland yesterday. GOSPORT OCT. 10.—The transports which sailed yesterday from this place, with a division of the 84th from our barracks, for Plymouth, are.to bring back the right wing of the third bat talion'bf Guards, and then to return with the second diVision.of the 84th, and to bring back the left wing of the Guards, who are to form part of the garrison at Portsmouth. On Monday last, the Militia of Warwickshire completed their annual period of training and exercise, and were on that day in spected by Colonel the Earl of Warwick, who was pleased to express his entire approbation of their execution of the different manoeuvres. Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Greville, who was on the ground, passed some very. high encomiums on the appearance and discipline of the Regiment. The Earl of Warwick afterwards issued the following Order : " GENERAL ORDERS. " The Earl of Warwick has desired Colonel Dickinson to make known to the Regiment at large, the high satisfaction he has derived from observing the steadiness and precision with which the movements of the battalion were performed in the field this moaning. The Lieut.-Colonel is also much gratified in being able to express his entire approbation of the good order and military discipline with which all ranks haVe conducted themselves during the present period of training." • THE LATE GALES. MELANCHOLYOCC u nut tiCE.—Thurs.daylast (4th inst.) in a dreadful gale of wind from the N.N.E. 22 fishing boats, with all their tackle, and upwards of 40 men, belonging to Clovelly, on the coast of Devon, were all lost ; most of the fishermen have left large familiet in the greatest.distress, totally dependent on them for support. We fear that the extent of the calamity is not yet known, as Pieces of wreck are continually driving in.— (Bristol Gazette.) Yesterday (Tuesday, 9th instant), a pilot skiff belonging to Pill, coming up Channel in a sinking state, was providentially perceived by another, - which bore down to her assistance, just in time to rescue the crew from a watery grave, when the mo - - ment after the skiff went downwithout the posssibility of saving a single thing.—(ldem.) Throughout Sunday, (7th instant) the wind blew from the S.IV, with unusual and alarming violence, giving place at in tervals to rain. .Towards evening the gale increased to a hur ricane, which was calculated both to impress the mind with fore bodings of disastrous news from the coast, and to occasion alarm for one's personal security on shore. In some of the streets and lanes a number of tiles and chimney cans Were blown down by the powerful gusts, but we have not heard of any person being hurt in consequence.—(Edinburgh Paper.) On Saturday week, (29th ult.) as Captain Douglas and three men belonging to the Britannia, of Greenock, were going on board that vessel, which lay in the river, the boat, in conse quence of the boisterous state of the weather, unfortunately swamped, when, melancholy, to relate, the Captain and two of the men were drowned. They were picked up on Sunday (7th inst.)—(Liverpool Courier.) HOAX AT EDINBURGH.—The great celebrity of MATTHEWS, of the English Opera House, and formerly of this Theatre, last week induced an Impostor to take a room in Edinburgh and issue out bills, " Alatthewsat Home ;" and having at— tracted a select party to witness his Budget of Budgets, he commenced the 'exhibition of his wonderful powers, which were deemed so intole rable as to excite the greatest diisatisfaction in the gulled spectators. A row ensued, and he was followed by a crowd of his patrons to the Police Office, where he remained for protection during the night (quite at home); and next morning being brought before a Magistrate, he was dismissed, there being no charge against hint —(Doncaster Gazette.) FIRST Lovr.—Yesterday week was married at St. John's Church, Chester, Mr. ROBERT MER CER, of Henburft-bridge, near this town, to MISS JEMIMA MORRIS, of Chester. The parties should have been married 36 years ago. The bride groom has since been married, and had 18 chil dren by the first wife. He had not seen his pre sent wife for 35 years before Monday last, when he met her at Chester, and married her the fol lowing morning.—(Blackburn BANNS FORBIDDEN.—Sunday, the 23d ult. after the clergyman of Scredington, near Slea ford, had published the banns of a couple of his parishioners, a blithe widow rose up, and with "an audible voice" forbade the same. Much surprise was of course excited amongst the con gregation, and bursts of laughter followed, the forbidder and the forbidden beinc , all above threescore years of age.--(Boston Glzette.) EXTRAORDINARY PROGENY.—We have to re cord the funeral of an old Lady in this neigh bour hood, who was attended to her last home by a progeny not oftenn - equalled :—On Wednes day, October 3d, was buried at Egg'Buckland, in this county, Mrs. Ann Stuttaford, the relict of Mr. Stuttaford, of that parish, aged 88. Her funeral was attended by eighty-two of her kindred; the-corpse was borne to the grave by eight of her grand-sons, one from each line, supported by eight grand-daughters, one from each line ; the corpse was preceded by eight grand-daughters, the two first carrying in their arms two great-grand-children. Two twin daughters of the deceased followed the corpse, as chief -mourners ; then came the daughters of the deceased, with their husbands, leading three great-grand-children, followed by the sons with their wives,, and the rest followed according to the relationship they held with the deceased. The grand-daughters intend erecting a monu ment to her memory.—(l ) 4mouth Paper.) OUTRAGE IN CHARLES-STR EET.-Mr. MA IN- W A ILI NG was about to enter into the particulars of this case yesterday, but it was ascertained by a certificate from the Middlesex Hospital, that the unfortunate man Thayers was still unable to at tend. He is, however, so far recovered, as to be able to relate some facts, and his statement seems to iix the charge on Mickel, who has absconded, it is said, for Ireland or America. An officer was last night dispatched in pursuit of Racket. This fellow is represented to be of a violent nature. FIRE.-Between l 1 and 12 o'clock on Thurs day night, a fire broke out in the first floor of the house of Mr. Horsefall, 25, Pleasant-row, Pentonville, which neaply destroyed the whole of the interior. The house was under repair, and a man who was left in care of it slept on the first floor, in which was a great quantity of- shavings and carpenter's chips. Od his going to bed he left the fire burning ; on the top ()lit was a piece of wood, which is supposed to have fallen offautti set the shavings in a blaze. The man had a narrow escape. b ye Printed and Published,. for. the FROPRIETORS, at tbl OFFICE ; 112, Strand, by J. B. CA.AS'TAIRS• DuRADFUL iiitCIDEI ; 4 IN ) ST. JAMES'S-STREET. [FURTITER• PiaTieuLArts.]—As the workmen were "removing the old materials of some houses at the corner of Little Hider-street, St. James's street, about haif-past eleven o'clock yesterday morning, three of .the houses fell in, and buried in the ruins eighteen persons who were engaged in taking them down. Immediate 'as sistance .was procured, and every exertion made to extricate the unfortunate sufferers. Seven men and a boy were dug out and conveyed to St. George's Hospital; two of them, we regret to state, were to all appearance dead; the rest had suffered very much. It appears the work men had incautiously pulled away the inte rior of the houses without taking due pre caution for the support of the wallsand the chim neys. Sir. T. Farquhar sent to the officers on duty at St. James's, requesting the assistance of.a-file of men, and Captain' Talbot, of the Coldstreaois, with the greatest promptitude, dispatched . them to keep off the crowd who were presiing upon the workmen, and prevented them proceeding with their humane but perilous task. The hou;es at the corner are in an equally dangerous s.ta-te• —The premises were formerly the White Hart public-house, behind which there is now a large mansion building for Sir Thomas Farquhar.-- -- , The very 'dangerous state of the corner h o use,' which was left standing, and threatened. to rag every minute, for some time retarded the hu mane operations of the persons employed in the recovery of the sufferers, and great exertions were made 'by means of ropes to pull the building down, which finally succeeded : it, fell without doing - any injury to those employed, about four o'clock,. upon the ruins of the three houses that had fallen in the morning, and consequentlf upon the poor creatures who were buried beneath. A very fine youth, a son of Mr. Harding,a deale r . in building materials, was the ninth person who f was taken out ; he had been three hours anti above buried alive,,but escaped with only Ili' shoulder bone broke.. The greatest exertions were making last night, and were to continue 119 torch light till those remaining under the ruio are released. Most of the poor men we find, upon inquiry, have large families.. FATAL MISTAKE.—A few days ago, a lady of great respectability in this neighbourhood, 1 01 ' was confined by indisposition, requested the set' vartt to pour out a quantity of medicine, sufficien t for a dose, from a bottle standing on the cliiinuo r piece of the room.
