Mt LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNINPAPERS, • September 27. • [MORNING POST.] The accounts from various parts of the United 'States, relative -to the fever, are very distressing.! That dreadful malady appears to be extending its ravages through Baltimore, Norfolk,. New U trecht,. Amelia Island, and many other places,. twhere the greatest alarm is experienced. At. Baltimore, during the twenty-fours, ending 'the 28th ult., there were ten deaths by malignant fever ; but during the succeeding twenty-four hours, there were only two. The disorder in that city was confined to a place called Wood sides-lane, and the other parts were generally healthy. At Norfolk, the crews of some of the vessels had been attacked with the fever, as well -as several persons-on shore, and most of the cases -had proved fatal. NeW Utrecht presented only a few cases of infection, and in none of them had .death yet ensued. The,accounts from Amelia .Island are far more melancholy. A great num ler of the inhabitants were ill, and almost every soldier in the garrison was in the hospital ; not even a sentinel coald be found to do duty. The advices relative to the Spanish Colonies mention that a.number of troops bad arrived at Vera Cruz, and that two vessels from Ilavannah, with more troops and supplies, were daily, expected. The utmost confidence pervaded the,Royali:its, that in the event of an attack by the Insurgents the latter would be easily repelled. Accounts from other parts, on the other hand, represent the cause of the Insurgents as in a . , flourishing condition. — By this conveyance we learn :that the pirates-. ere still committing their depredations upon vessels. or all nations in the neighbourhood of St. Domingo. Their place -of rendezvous was chiefly 'Cape Tiheroon,.at the western end of Hispaniola. The American Government was fitting out a few , larger vessels for the coast of Africa, for the more :effectual suppression of the Slave Trade. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] It is known that attempts have been secretly making by the. King of Sweden to increase his power by circumscribing or abolishing the Con stitution granted to his Norwegian subjects, re , specting which many curious particulars 4ve transpired. It now appears, that previous to the late visit of the King to Norway, the Swedish army and marine at Stockholm were put in a state of equipment suited to actual warfare. The publicity of this fact led to the conjecture that an armament was meant to be -employed during the Royal visit, to hover on the coast of Norway, to awe the inhabitants into submission to any measures that should be dictated to them. This state of warlike preparation, and its imagined ob ject, became so generally the subject of conver sation in Stockholm, that it , attracted the notice of General Suchtelen, the Russian Minister, who thought the affair of .sufficie importance to induce him to write to I . Court for instructions. In consequence of this proceeding of the Russian Minister, and just after the departure of the_King for Norway, an ener getic note arrived . from Petersburg, wherein- the Emperor, in his quality of guarantee of the Treaty of Kiel, and the institutions resulting from that compact, blamed the assembling of an armed force near to Christiania, the seat of the Norwegian Diet, which was to be regarded as an infringement of the. Constitution, and an innova tion on fhe basis laid down - for the Government of Norway. Immediately on the arrival of this note. at the Swedish Court, General Suchtelen and Count Wetterstedt departed in great` haste for Christiania, and it is asserted, that - the urgent remonstrances there made by the former . to ,the King were the cause of his giving a more mode rate form to the, propositions made by him to the Diet. While this mediation on the part ,of the Emperor was conducting, an aceident awakened the attention of the Diet to the situation in which they were placed by the vicinity of a military force. A Swedish. officer, who had fal len in a duel with a Norwegian, the result of a private quarrel, declared to the latter, in an insult ing tone, that the svedeshad brought with them arguments admirably calculated to induce sub mission in the No . rwegian Diet—namely, cannon balls, cartouches, and ample stores of ammunition. This circumstance coming to the knowledge of that assembly, a spirited demand was immediately made by. them, that all, the warlike materials . above-named should.be placed in the arsenal of Agerhaus, until Norway should be entirely clear of Swedish troops ; and this, bold request, the private letter states, was actually acceded to. This situation of affairs has greatly increased the mutual animosity long subsisting between the two nations. The Norwegians openly express their indignation in all publiC places, and numerous quarrels are the result. .. [THE TIMES.] Some North American Prints, we see-by . the last arrivals, are coquetting with further portions of the territory. of their Spanish neighbours. — New Orleans and the Floridas have but just fallen in to the United, States ; and now, it seems, that the Province of Texas is in such disorder, as can be cured only by that infallible specific—a publican military occupation. .-The, Gazette of Louisiana proposes this seizure of Texas, .on the same ground which it says induced the President .to pounce upon Amelia Island a few years ago ;, and the.National.lntelligencer, the official .Pa, per, approves the - scheme of sending a detach"- went of. troops to punish the bands of ", outlaws, C 4 the tribes of -cannibal Indians, ,a.nd.gangs of " daring smugglers, with their hordes of miser " able African slaves." Bands, and tribes, and gangs, and hordes! .Choice . epithets these, and full of meaning. -These are, the. names. bestowed upon inhabitants of the Spanish province of .Texas; and the purpose avowed by the official Journal is . - to,punish them by . means of an armed force from the United States, -for what the National Intelligencer calls "-laughing to scorn nati?nal " law and_ private morals." As for the formal cc occupation of the. Spanish territory Without the " consent of Spain," that is of _course disclaimed by the official paper of the United States; for not to disclaim, - such a project, after openly re commending the other project above-Mentioned, would be a specks of negative declaration 1)f war against the Spaniards. «. That," says the National Intelligencer, " will never do ;" and, indeed, such a plan will be unnecessary. A more con venient and plausible method of doing the same .thing, will be by the aforesaid detachment of troops against the Texas : they need Only march thither, and then find it inexpedient to come home again, so long. as any one of the tribes or gangs, &c. &c:, shall remain to he pursued and punished. Wp regret •to hear " such language, because' it is the phraseology of common-place ambition. The . United States are in no want of Texas—they have coast enough--they have terri tory ten times more than .they will be able to occupy within 300 years. "Their citizens surely have no wish to exchange the settled enjoyments of an industrious community for the wander ing habits- Of the wretched savages whom they contemn.' Yet, even were they to embrace the life of hunters, they .could not fairly spread themselves over the surface of their vast poses lions. There is in the abstract theory of The National Intelligencer, a principle acknowledged which it would be wisdom to apply as a correc tive to all plots of immediate and definite rapa city, viz.—" Seize what we might,' we should yet leave something ungrasped. Extend our limits to get rid of a foreign territory contiguous to ours, we shout& but exchange one line for another—we should have contiguous territory still." Had this plain reasoning been present to the minds of rulers, as well as nations, nearer home, how would it have thinned the race of con querors !—how promoted the best interests of I humanity ! [NEw TIMES.] It is curious to observe how faithful a picture The Times has drawn of itself while pretending to delineate another Journal. " Shameless slan- der of the. living and the dead, unblushing fabri cation and falsehood, and outrageous ,attacks - on private character and domestic peace, constitute the ways and - means of the wretches who con duct, and the malignant gratification of. the knaves who. read it."—Such are the terms in which The Times speaks of an Edinburgh Jour nal called The Beacon, and-of which its own co lumns have furnished daily illustration for the last four years and three quarters. Of :-The Beacon it is not our intention to say. much. Whenever it has fallen in our way (which has been but seldom), we have observed that it has lashed the - Whig Radicals with no very lenient hand ; but its satire has been rather keen than coarse ; and to compare ity for gen tlemanlike feeling, or decorous expression, with the Leading Journal of Printing-house-square, would indeed be to load it with gross and un merited reproach. The unfortunate objects of its sarcasm have, it is true, iu some instances, ex hibited an acute sensibility to castigation, and evinced their disinterested regard for the Liberty of the Press by loudly invoking the protection- of those laws which, when enforc6l. .on behalf of the Sovereign, his Ministers, or their adherents, are described as rank tyranny, incompatible wish the free spirit of the age ! These specimens of individual irritability and inconsistency are very amusing ; but what shall we say to the genuine, unadulterated impudence of a Journal like The Times, affecting to turn pp its nose at The Beacon or John Bull, as scandalous Newspapers ? The Times! which is actually under indictment for one of the most unmanly, wanton, and cruel attacks on private character, that ever disgraced the Press Of its fabrications and falsehoods, a more glaring instance cannot be given than was afforded on Monday, when it as serted that an offence committed on the COI of April was instigated by the Constitutional Association out of revenge for a failure sustained by them on the ‘24th of the subsequent July.- 13bt beside direct fabrication there is another and perhaps a more pernicious violation of its duties to the public which The Times has- of ate been in the habit of committing, we mea the garbling of its reports!--We have heretofore notived the impudent attacks of its Northern Circuit Reporter on the Clergy, at York and Durham. The same person appears to have been . - - employed at Lancaster to give an account of the trials. In that of Mr. Blacow he states that the defendant entered into a panegyric on " the ridge-street gang." Now certainly such a expression could never have fallen from the lips of the defendant ; and how does a News paper Reporter dare to introduce them into an account which ought. to contain the sitn- 1 ple truth, and nothing more.—As to the trial of Ridgway, we shall take the earliest opportu nity of laying before the public a correct report of that most important proceeding. In the mean while, let any person look at the summing up of Mr. Justice llolroyd, as given in The Times, and ask himself if it is possible that a Judge of such eminence, experience, and integrity, could I have uttered the " bald, ntijointed Chat," which the Reporter has put into his mouth. The speech of Mr. Brougham, for the defence, occu pies a column and a quarter ; that of the Judge, exclusive of several interruptions by Counsel, not quite twenty lines l—and this is called a Law Report! A canal is about to be cut from the river Gan . nel to very near the Silver Mine, at Newlyn, in Cornwall, with a collateral branch to the Blue Anchor, which will prove highly advantageouS to the mining interest of ,that port. A very serious accident occurred on Saturday in Norwich ; a Gentleman driving a phaeton, in which were Mr.. Cit,tcoun, a Lady, and another Gentleman, over the Castle Meadows, the horses took fright and ran away, when Mr. C. and the other gentleman jumped out, and both of theni had the misfortune to break their legs 'Mr. CitACOUlt so shocking a manner, that he , was obliged to undergo immediate amputationi, 'The driver and the Lady kept their 'seats, and received no injury ; the horses - were stopped near St. Augustine's-gate. • LIMERICK COUNTY ASSIZE 4. MU DER OF THOMAS HOSKINS, ESQ. LIMERICK, MODTDAY, SiPT. 17.—Tice trial of Thomas Gallivan, for the murder of this unfortunate and lamented young gentleman, took place , in the County Court-house, on this day, before:the lion. Baron Pennefather.. The Court was very much. crowded. Mr. Quin anti Mr. White were Counsel for the Crown, and Mr. O'Connell,fot the prisoner. The Jury was highly respectable. - _ The first witness called was a boy named. Cornelius Crowley, who did not appear to be more than fourteen years of age ; he did not know his own age. The:Learned Judge took infinite pains to ascertain whether the witness was capable of knowing the value of an oath, and after several questions, having.exs pressed himself satisfied that if lie swore false, he would cer tainly be punished hereafter, &c. he was examined by Mr. Quin. He identified Thos. Gallivan, the prisoner at the bar; lie knew the late T.

After the two first, there were three or four more shots fired ; witness saw the persons who fired the second set"Of shots ; they were fired from between the two crosses on the road ; Mr. Hoskins' mule received the shots in the shoulder ; the mule turned round short and he jumped off; the sportsman urged him to get up again: he did not- get up but jumped over a ditch and dykes off the road; the sportsman, who was mounted, galloped o, Mr. Hos kins ran between ie oft; cross-roads ; two fellows immediately jumped up before him, one of them fired a blunderbuss- at him, and he fell on. his face and hands ; one of the fellows came be hind him, stooped down, and fired through his body and head ": all along ;" the same man then turned him on his side and took the watch out of his pocket, and put it into his own coat pocket; he then took sonic silver from the deceased, then turned him on his face and hands again. The witness was now asked whether the prisoner at the bar was the person he alluded to—the boy stood up, and in &col lected, firm tone, impressively said, placing his eyes stedfastly on the prisonei, U pon my oath, that is the man who fired the last shot at Mr. Hoskins, and who took the watch, &c. out of his pocket ;" after that, the same man asked him from whence he came ? who replied, that he came from A bbeyfeal, And was going on a message to Newcastle, from one Police-man to another ; he told him further, that Mr. Hoskins and his sports Man had been coursing, and had given him tenpence to bring the bundle for him ; Gallivan ordered witness to give him the bundle, his reply was, " here it is, hit or miss," and gave it to him ; prisoner then said to witness, " there he is over, shot, and you w—e's son, I'll do the same to you that I did to him ; ' while the murder had been perpetrating he had been seated on the road ; he was sitting on the grass, and could see Mr. Hoskins. Cross-examined by Mr. O'CONNELL—He said that he sat because he was frightened ; they came from the bog road ; the that talked to witness were facing out towards Mrs. Brown's hill ; there was a ditch at each side of the road. Witness had been all the day with Mr. Hoskins, the 'deceased, who had slept at Mr. Hayes's the night before ;. he had breakfasted there the morning of the day lie was killed ; Mr. Hoskins took a snack at a house on the mountain ; witness had eaten and drank also; they staid there an hour ; they travelled a good deal of the mountain looking for hares ; wi:ness did not hide himself when the shots were fired ; he was not in the regular employment of Mr. Hoskins ; he had been in the service of Mr. Walpole, one of . Me. Going's Police.; left him on the Saturday before the murder ; he had also been in the service of Mr. David Dooley; served for nothing ; remembers that Conolly, his predecessor, had been accused of stealing the case of a silver watch from his employer ; he had not stolen it ;. was not accused of stealing it ; he was more than a month at Dooly's, who gave him a coat and turned him away. Ilere the witness burst into tears, and said, Mr. O'Dell, the Attorney for the prisohsr, was whispering Mr. O'Connell, and Making faces at witness. • The Court suggested to the witness that he should answer Mr. O'Connell. • The Counsel for the Crown complained much that Mr. O'Dell had been making significant faces at .the boy, and the Judge censured it. Witness's parents are poor ; they lived on charity ' • he begs ged with them ; heard that a reward was offered to bring the murderers to prison ; Mr. Hoskins, sen. gave him the clothes he wore ; lodged first informations before Air. Yokes, five or six weeks after Mr. Hoskins was shot ; swore informations before Mr. Blennerhaseet ; also, saw Hennessy, and though he had a cut on his face as well as prisoner, he said that he was not the man ; witness swore at the inquest; he put his mark to the in formations, as he could not write; saw Messrs.

Yokes, that " that was the man ;" did not swear against, him until the day that the prisoner was taken to Limeria ; cannot say what time intervened between his arrest and removal to -Limerick : several of the workmen asked witness if Gallivan was the man ? to some he said yes, to others he said he was not ; he did so to avoid being teazed.—(Witness complained again of Mr. O'Dell.) The eounT—" Sit down, Mr. O'Dell." - Did not know Gullivan's name when sworn before the . Coro ner; did pot say Gallivan was the man hetere he was brouAlit in or taken up.. From a Juror—" Were the men disguised ?" They had yellow paint on their- hands,' faces, and necks of their shirts or cravats; Gallivan, when in his old clothes, looked smaller than he does now . ; but, pursued witness, " it was the same man, for when he • came near me to strike me, the blood rose up in his face, and the cut upon it became larger ;" witness did say that he would know him again ; did not say he was pock-marked ; the 'Other man that was taken up had a cut on his face, but he (witness) said that he was not the man.-eY r outhful as witness was, he spoke with great firmness, and was quite collected. Michael Anglifi, sworn.—Saw the deceased once; it. was more than six weeks ago'; it was at Churchtown, near New- . castle; it was before he was killed ; knows the prisoner, at the bar, well ; has known him six years ; saw him on the day Mr. Hoskins was shot on the hill of Barna ; he was coming across from Slanmore ; saw him before on that day at Lissorula Hill ; there were five men with him ; it was a good while before six o'clock ; the sun was " turning," (i. e. going down) ; Gallivan was armed with a blunderbuss—his companions were each armed with a gun ; saw the prisoner fire at, and strike Mr. Hos kins with his blunderbuss.

" Gentlemen of the Jury, you will judge with caie—you will ! deliberate fairly and impartially, remeirdicting that in one hrinn, you hold the justice of the country, in the other the life,of.a fel- low=being. On the whole, if you haVnany rational doubts on your minds as to the identity of the prisoner, ..for on that every thing deperidS, he must have the - benefit of that doubt The law, which is al*ays as merciftit as it is - impartiali says, .that it is better that 99 guilty persons should csepe, than hat one innocent person should suffer.' Gentlemen, doubtless you will exercise your solemn and important duty firmly and conscien , tiously!---voti will acquit yourselves as becoMe you, and you will discharge the trust vested in your hands by your country, in an adequate arid laudable manner. The Jury retired at six o'clock, and after deliberating some time, returned with a verdict of ACQUITTAL for the prisoner at the bai. . TREMENDOUS INUNDATION AT HOLYWEI.L.-011 Fri day last, Holy well and its neighbourhood were visited with one of the heaviest falls of rain ever remembered, accompanied with tremendous thunder and lightning. About one o'clock, •the villagers' in the low lands became greatly alarmed ,by the tor rents which descended in all directions from the mountains, and with such extreme rapidity, that it became very difficult for theM to escape the danger of benig drowned. Our correspon dent informs us, that several houses were nearly demolished by the violence of the storm. The cotton works in Holywell sus- • tained much damage from the overwhelming torrent forcing its way through the lower stories with such' rapid progress; that • the lives of the people employed in the works were greatly endangered, the lower rooms becoming literally filled in a few seconds. Greenfield appeared most awful, the 'inhabi tants of . which were crying in all directions for help, and flying for security to the sides of the hills. The copper works were also speedily filled with the flood, which creat ed no inconsiderable degree of alarm.—On the waters reach ing the heated steam furnaces, the latter burst, with an explosion resembling a heavy clap of thunder ; some . part of the works, in consequence, took fire ; and it was not without difficulty extinguished: Coals; and lead and' copper ore, were washed in considerable• quantities from the differ ent. works in the neighbourhood. Our correspondent adds, that on Saturday morning the Marsh (below Holywell),. presented a scene of desolation, in which were discoverable the wrecks of valuable property which had been swept' away by the impetuous deluge. Coal, copper, and lead ore, cotton in packs, broken machinery, dead cattle, - house -11014 furniture, stacks of hay, sheaves of corn, and, in fact, all kinds of materials . which lay in the progress of the waters, were forced before the storm. It is said, that the loss sustained by the cotton and copper works, is estimated at several thousand pounds ; it is likewise reported, that three persons fell victims to the ravaging deluge. At the time the .abovc, tempest was raging, at Ilolywell, our city enjoyed the calm and clearness of sun-shine ; though, we have heard, the storm during the afterno.i and night was very severe in dif ferent parts of the country. A gentleman of . Chester, going. by the coach towards Manchester, reports, that about two in the afternoon, hail and rain descended in such torrents as almost to darken the air, and render it impossible to see half a doien yards beyond the leading horses' heads.—(Chester Courant, Sept. 25.) • EXTRAORDINARY FOOTPAD.—About dusk, on Tuesday evening, as Miss ANN WALKER, a young lady residing at Pimlico, and Captain IVI r.I.Ps, were taking the air in St. James's Park, they sat for some time on one of the benches, and ob served a furious looking fellow pass them several times. The young Lady observed he had the look of an assassin, and she thought he was looking out for prey. The Captain only laughed at her timidity. She however urged him to quit ..... that spot, and they walked into the Gree❑ Park. When they arrived about half way they saw the same fellow approach them from the pond, and when he came up to them he pulled oti his hat to beg for charity. The -Lady threw a shilling to him, upon which he pulled out a large knife, declaring, with dreadful imprecations, he would murder them both, if they did not deliver up their watches and money. The Captain hap pened to carry a dirk, and pulled it from under his coat. The Lady screamed, which attracted the notice of some Gentlemen in the Mall, who ran up ; but whether that, or the appearance of the dirk, terrified the robber, he took to his heels, reached Piccadilly, and escaped. A proper description of him is given to the Police. A Gentleman applied at Marlborough-street Police-office yesterday, to know •what mode he should pursue to quell what he, applicant, term ed "an insufferable nuisance." He was an Wm- bitant of the tdg,eware-road, and a set of fel lows, stage-coachmen, were in the daily habit of getting together in front of his house and dis turbing his family by blowing their trumpets or horns. The annoyance at length became so great,l that he found it necessary to remonstrate with them, and his remonstrance seemed only to ex cite them to fresh acts of annoyance. lie merely wanted to ascertain by what mean's he could pre vent such, nuisance, or whether the late New street Act recognized such proceedings as an offence. The Magistrate did not see that wry remedy lay in his own power, but recommended the applicant to complain to the. masters or em ployers of the parties who annoyed him, and if they did not cease, to bring the matter before a Court of law. Yesterday morning two labourers, who are employed, amongst others, in pulling down some old houses in Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, were at work on the ground floor of one of- the houses, when suddenly a huge beam at the top gave way, which, together with an immense quantity. of bricks and mortar, fell with an alarming crash, and the two men, named Dutton and. Davies, were buried underneath. The re mainder of the workmen, with great alacrity, began to remove the rubbish.; and eventually the poor fellows were extricated from their peril ous situation, in a state of great exhaustion. They were, without delay, conveyed on shutters to the . Nliddlesex hospital, where they were examined by the surgeon, who declared they had not received the slightest. injury ; upon which the men, after thanking the surgeons, went.to work, previously taking a glass of whiskey. On ThurSday night last,Missll EATH, governess in the family 'of the Duke , of NEWCASTLE,' died suddenly at Clumber, his. Grace's seat. After passing the evening in higher spirits than usual, and retiring to her room. at eleven o'clock, she was seized with a fit of apoplexy, and expired in a few- seconds, in the arms of a female domestic. So'highly was this lady esteerned, - That an expreSs communicating the mournful intelligence was dis patched at midnight to the Duke, who was at ' Scarborough with the Duchess, and on receipt of it their Graces immediately set out on their re turn to Clumber, to show a respect for departed worth not less honourable to their own feelings than to the memory of the deceased ? , During the late thunder-storm in .the metro. polis, a mail-guard, who accompanies the bags to the coach,. placed a leather apron upon his -knees. to- protect him from .the wet, when the electric fluid of the lightning consumed the apron to a einder, : .Without doing the -least further in jury even to his clothes! • OLD BAILEY. CIOMMITAL OF TWO PERSONS FOR WiLFUI, .I.llg o CORRUPT PERJURY. • Yesterday Jose Pt Wince, a Person 'Most' 're' spectably • cenitected, was put to the bar, charged with having stolen on the sth -cif the presen t month an, iron stove, value 51., the property . e t John M'Nally.. The principal *itness in this case was Wo l • Kelly,. a boy about 14; who Swore that:he sa w the prisoner take the stove and run ui) a Cowl with it. Witness followed him, and demanded the property. Prisoner threw it down and re turned with witness to his master's shop, where he . was taken into - custody. . This testimony w as attempted to be corroborated by the wife of th! prosecutor, Mts. M' Nally. Mr. A NDREWSI on behalf of the prisone r ? cross-examined these,witnesses, - and in' so doll elicited•from them the most unequivocal pro' s of there not being a shadow of pretence for the prosecution. They grossly prevaricated in every mart Of 'the evidence - now given, with that whi °l they stated -before the Magistrate. Several Pe r ' sons, of the greatest respectability, gave the ltr i saner a most irreproachable character, and t he Jury immediately acquitted him. The Learned Judge (AnAutx) ordered - . t he .boy, Kelly, to be:placed in the, box, and aft er , commenting at much length on the - enormity 01 the offence he had committed, ordered hint in t° . custody ; at the same time assuring him that it °. would be prosecuted, at the expence of t he county, for wilful and corrupt perjury. Mrs. INl‘Nally, the wife of the prosecutor, O s theti ordered .to stand up; the Court told h er that she Was less excuseable than the boy, b ut she had made the discovery in time to prevellt her committal for perjury, but the shuttling o tt l j t i ner in which'she had given her evidence Nu' not be overlooked; the Court would; therefore/ commit her for contempt. She was instantly taken into custody, and conveyed to New - ga te ' by thee - officer of the-Court. The Learned Judge said, it was the most d is' graCeful exhibitionhe had ever witnessed. .
