THE _LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY ExTrt.vcis FROM Till: 711ORNING September 15. [MORNING CHRONICLE . ] THE FUNDS.-The Funds .continue to vary ;with the alternate changes of the weather. - The fluctuations of the last few days have clearly demonstrated that the jobbers "are apprehensive of the capitalists employing their money in corn speCulations, which, should the bad weather Continue, there is too much. reason to fear they might do with considerable advantage. Consols opened yesterday at 751 for money, and 754 for the account. The contradictory reports -relative to Russia and the Parte, added to the above named cause, produced a depression of nearly a half per cent.. That the rise of grain has a sensible operation upon the Funds there can be no doubt, but we do not entirely attribute the present depression to that account. There is a report in the City, which obtains credence among the well in formed, that should the ports be opened forthe im portation of grain, and the demands fo'r specie (as is likely in such case) increase upon . the Bank to a large extent, some protecting measure would be immediately adopted on the part of Govern ment-to prevent the money being thus sent out out of the country. A discovery is said to have been made within the last few days at. the Mint relative to the present issue of half sovereigns, -and the Bank have inconsequence declined to issue anymore of that coin for the present. The market recovered a little" At the-close of the day, and Consols left off at 75f,- . sellers, and 75 3 - for the account. Considerable sales (compared to the business of the last-week) were effected. [MORNING POST.] The intelligence which arrived yesterday,though it does not bear in the least on the question of war between Russia and the Porte, is lessfavour able than usual to the prospects of the Grecian cause. This may to a certain► extent be account ed for by the source from whence it proceeds, 'The Austrian Observer, which, since the com mencement of the Greek insurrection, has taken a most decided part with the Turks. After an ominous silence of three weeks' duration, it has suddenly sent forth a dispatch from the Turkish Governor of the Morea, giving an account of the capture of Livadia and the destruction ot thegreater part of that town, after a desperate engagement, i❑ which 3000 Greeks are represented to have caused themselves to be hacked to pieces, or to bave been burnt in the houses. Of the loss of the Turks on this occasion not a word is mentioned ; but the effect of the victory is said to. have a been the entire submission of the district.— Hence the Austrian Observer concludes that the pacification of the whole of those. Provinces must necessarily follow. Now the fact is, that this intelligence is not new, and that accounts of many subsequent actions have been received, which prove that the loss of the Greeks at Livadia, however severe (though no doubt exaggerated), was not so considerable as to prevent them from making fresh efforts against their tyrants. By a reference to the Pacha's dispatch, it will be seen that the capture of Livadia took place in June. The advantages gained by the Greeks in the Peloponnesus are of a later date. They remain, therefore, still unsubdued, notwithstanding the ferocity of their assailants and the good wishes of their Christian friends. [NEW TIMES.] The circumstances connected with the change in the Magistrates of Bow-street have been grossly misrepresented. We are authorised to say that the articles in two of the Morning Pa pers of yesterday were extremely incorrect, and that there was, indeed, no truth in either of , them, except the mere statement of the fact that Sir Robert Baker did on Wednesday resign his office. In consequence of this resignation, Lord Sidmouth, 'on the following day, communicated to Mr. Birnie his intention of recommending him to the King as Sir Robert Baker's successor. The vote of thanks to Mr. Waithman deserves to be noticed oni!e and again. it fully explains why that quiet, Modest, unpretending tradesman haS of late 'rendered himself so conspicuous—why he coalesced with Thelwall and Watson—why he wrote to Lord Liverpool and to Lord Bathurst why he was a queiscent spectator of one riot, and an active- combatant in another—why he sate in his carriage - While Honey, was.shOt, and appeared as Counsel at the Inquest on the body. The rea son is,this—and our Readers will remember we some months ago intimated that such a scheme was" in agitation—Mr. Waltbman is an Alderman who does not stand next in rotation for the Civic Chair. Ile is too diffident a man to aspire to that honour &fore his turn; but some of his friends particularly wish that lie should be selected to entertain the King at Guildhall, next November. • They think it would highly gratify his Majesty to be received by so loyal a subject, so eccom plished a gentleman, so " true" a" genius." In the event of Mr. Waithrnan's doing the honours of the City to its- Sovereign, it is naturally *ex pected that the King will be graciously pleased to bestow a BarOnetage on his worthy host ; and " Sir Robert Waithman, Baronet, and Co. Linen drapers," would of course decorate the shopboard in Fleet-street, in double gilt letters. All this • would" no doubt he highly gratifying to Mr: '%Vaithman's friends ; .but alas ! their number '• has lamentably decreased of late ; his popularity " has fallen into the sere, the yellow leaf." -Something was therefore necessary to be done, in order to refresh the pattern, as it were ; to bring out the Alderman new scoured and dyed, as an eleg ant fancy article, for Lord Mayor's Day; and it -was thought that nothing would answer thiS end so well as a vote of thanks by the Comnion Council. Unhappily; poor Mr. Waithman's credit was so low, that his very thanks were obliged to be smuggled ! It would have-been trio hazardous to have waited till.the Common Council knew any thing ofa daily of his conaiict.... Lt would have been fatal to the scheme even to have given a previous notice that a motion for thanking hiinwas to bcf , • made; 'nut there ate some fifty Common Coun cilmen, or thereabouts, who may be always relied upon at a pinch. These were let into the secret ; the rest of the Court were taken by surprise . ; the Motion was carriedand this is what 7'he Morning Chronicle, with a naivete really pleasant; calls a" triumphant majority!"— Mr. Waithman himself knew better. He saw that thanks, so obtained, were not worth an old remnant of calico. In a grumbling tone, and with a bilious look, he told the Court it was the first time.they had ever thanked him, though (as s he was modestly pleased to observe) they had often thanked others Who had deserved it muter less.— In the main, he was right, as to the benefit to be expected from his friend . Favell's underhand management. Even Galloway blushed at the idea of a vote of thanks without any previous in quiry ; - and every one felt, with Mr.Oldham, that there was bad taste iu bringing forward such a subject, " when the Court was assembled to give an unanimous proof of its loyalty."—(lbid.) [THE TIMEs.I We shall learn by and by what are to be the future qualifications of English Magistrates. The dismissal of Sir Robert Baker adds one more to the series of events, quick in their succes s;on, and uniform in their character, into which it will be the first duty, and.we doubt not the most resolute purpose, of Parliament to inquire, before it enters upon any branch of the ordinary business bf legislation. We state this, because it ought to be well understood what is the nature of that fearful crisis into which the country ap pears to be falling; and from which it will rest with the people and their representatives, whe ther they choose to be rescued or not. It is neither our personal interest nor desire to scare the public with fictitious apprehensions, nor would it correspond with our notions of integrity to impute to any class of men worse motives than those by which - we really con ceive them to be actuated. When it is, there fore, given as our fixed opinion, that if the King's Ministers remain unchecked in their present course, the whole genius and principle of this limited monarchy will ere long be 'superseded by those of a military government, we .state the impression with heartfelt reluctance, but with a painful confidence in its truth. The interposi tion of soldiers in all arrangements,• whether of pure ceremony or of acknowledged usefulness and necessity, is changed from the exception into the rule of our Executive Government. The habitual dependence on this novel and irresistible power leads to a far more frequrent indulgence of mean caprices and unworthy passions, than those who entertain them would dare to exhibit if public feeling were left to its own fair ' exercise. Had there been no squadrons of Life Guards within reach, and -had 'not the evil expedient of , calling in the military been matured into a prac tice, does any one suppose that the funeral of a Queen Consort would have been seized on as a fit opportuniti for setting the people of London at defiance ? No; but the effect of this system Must be at last to make a mere cipher of the Eng lish nation ; " and their freedom,"—(it is Burke who speaks)—" cannot long survive their im portance." We now see that a conscientious Ma gistrate has been dismissed from office for no other reason than his placing too high a value on the lives of his Majesty's subjects. It is true that Sir Robert Baker has by his regard for Eng lish blood been a party (though an innocent one) to the defeat of a scheme which its authors ought to blush for having projected. He has helped to make ridiculous those who would rather have been odious; this is the substance of his transgres sion. How can we suppose that he would have been punished, only because he evinced " forbearance and humanity,"—those very virtues for which we are assured the Life Guards are to be rewarded by a Government, at least a Tory, contribution . ? Let things, then, be called by their true names : he who spared and saved the people's blood is disca i - rded ; they who spilt that blood are paid —paid, say the contributors, for their " forbear ance !" We wish that these -amateurs of military law . were content, without being at once both slaves and hypocrites. [BE.rnsir p4Ess.] Sir Robert Baker resigned - his situation as Chief Magistrate of the Police of the Metropolis on Wednesday last, and on the following day Mr. Birnie was appointed by Lord Sidmouth to succeed him. To those who stave observed the temper and spirit of the present Ministers, who have noticed their jealousy of power and the littleness 'of 'mind with which they have at all times resented the offence of presuming to question the infallibility of their judgment, this piece of intelligence will occasion► no surprise. Men who could so far forget every feeling of decency as to deprive Earl Fitz william of the Lieutenancy of the West Rid ing, for having ventured to doubt the wisdom of the Magistrates of Manchester ; who were guilty of a flagrant attempt to undermine the in dependence of the House of Commons, by re moving the Earl of Fife from the bedchamber, because he bad the temerity- to vote in favour of economy; could not be expected to pass over the conduct of Sir Robert Baker in suffering the funeral procession of the Queen to pass through the interdicted route of the City of London. Lord Sidmouth has often been called a " humane man;" we will, therefore, put it to his- boasted humanity, whether an adherence to a certain route in a matter which to the Government of the country must have been one of utter indifference, was to be placed in competition with the life or limbs of the poorest man in London ? The experienCe of the combat at 'Cumberland gate must have 'impressed Sir Robert Baker with the firm assurance that perseverance in the original plan must have been attended with the loss of many lives ; he saw that the soldiers Were not competent to resist a mob within nar row streets; that they, therefore, must undoubt edly have been sacrificed ; that many of the multitude must have been killed ; that the lives of all the persons forming the procession, many of whom were of rank and estimation, were placed in the utmost danger ; and as a man of humanity ; as a Magistrate bound to protect the lives and prof)erty of the inhabitants of the metropolis from the danger of a violent commo tion, he yielded to circumstances which, without the sacrifice of important interests, he could not controul. Nothing short of the use of artillery could have cleared the streets of the impediments raised by the multitude ; and we think that even Lord Sidmouth or Lord Liverpool would not desire to purchase the glory of a triumph over the people of London by the employment of artillery in their streets. [MORNING HERALD.] The Austrian Observer-contains an article, un der the head of Constantinople, which professes to give a despatch from the Turkish Governor of the Morea to the Grand Vizier, dated the 23d of July, and relating exploits of so remote's date as the 23d of June. This despatch would imply that the insurrection was nearly quelled, in the Morea, and wholly extinguished in the province of Livadia, which comprises nearly the whole of ancient Greece, properly so called. It turns out, however, to be nothing more than the taking of Livadia, an inconsiderable town in the province of that name, situated on the Gulf of Lepanto, the fortress of which appears to have surrendered by capitulation.— The Pacha boasts of 3000 Greeks slain, states that mercy was shown to all who had laid down their arms, and quotes a verse of the Koran,' which recommends mercy to vanquished ene mies ! The Greeks have been charged with be ing like Young Wilding in the Farce—" too poetical In their prose." It would appear that a Turk can also exaggerate on occasion. This boasted, victory, in the Month of June, was but a slight momentary check. It was since this event that the insurgents have formed a co-operative Government, including the insurgent islanders and those on Terra Firma.—(See the SUN of yesterday.) It will be perceived that the' Turks at Constantinople and their partisans in London deny the victory gained by the Greek fleet in the Archipelago. It is probable that the Greeks have magnified their success. But the version given in this letter has about it a sim plicity of bad faith which betrays itself. The at tack of the Greeks, their employment of fire ships, and - the burning of the Turkish vessels, is admitted, but " the vessels were burned by the. Turks themselves! !" The Greek accounts are not to be received with implicit faith.— There is much of the ancient rhetoric in their style, and a naval advantage naturally and ex cusably warms the ima g ination of the country men of Themistocles and Cimon. But the dull Turks can lie, with a downright audacity, in finitely beyond them. M. STEFA:4O BAREZZI, of Milan, has discover ed a process for transposing paintings in fresco from one wall to another ; without injuring their. lie covers the picture with a prepared canvas, which detaches the Whole of the painting from the wall. The canvass is then applied to another wall, to which the picture attaches without the least trait being lost. M. BAREZZI is now en gaged in removing a large picture of Marco d'Og gione, in the Church della Pace, at Rome, and it is hoped that by his process he will be able to rescue from, the ravages of time the beautiful reniains of th 4 Cant; of Leonardo da Vinci.— (Paris - LATE Frar.4tri PRINCES -STREET, .50110-SQUARE. —Yesterday morning, whilst the firemen and la bourers were employed in digging after the un fortunate sufferers who perished in the late de structive fire at the house of Mr. MYERS, they discovered the mutilated remains of two indivi duals, and the spectacle NI hich they presented was truly horrifying ; the heads, arms; and the whole of the limbs were burnt off, and - nothing remained but the upper part of the body, which was, so stuffed with rubbish that it was scarcely distinguishable whether they were human remains or rub bish. From the situation in which they were found, it is very probable that they are the remains of Mrs. Po and her daughter, echo lodged in Mr. MYERS'S house, and perished together in the flames. The bodies were carried on a shell to the bone-house of St. James's parish, for the Coroner's Inquest. There are other bodies still in the ruins, and the labourers are busily employ ed in digging after them. Mr. BURNETT, who %% as an artist, and his child, are not yet found. DREADFUL SUlClDE.—Thursday evening, be tween 7 and S o'clock, a female, about 20 years of age, very decently attired; was seen on Wa terloo Bridge in a very sorrowful mood for a length of time ; she then left the place; shortly afterwards she was seen by a waterman at the Strand side of the bridge, and it was not long before she, unperceived by, any one, climbed over the balustrade at this side of the toll-house,l and precipitated herself into the water ;. a shriek was heard, and a sound as if she dashed against the stones prior to her going into the water. — Several watermen immediately proceeded to her assistance, but the tide had washed her body' , away ; they cottinued dragging until 11 o'clock without success, nor did they succeed in finding' the body yesterday, although every effort was made. . The same young woman was prevented at an earlier hour in the evening from putting her rash desi g n into execution. ANOTHER SHOCKING SUlClDE.—Between 11 ;and 12 o'clock on Thursday, as the Banbury coach, which sets out from the Bell and Crown Inn, Holborn, stopped at the house of Mr. Woo dward, the White Hart, Southall, for the purpose of changing horses, the passengers'alighted and went into the house to take refreshment ; on their being summoned by the coachman to resume their places, one of the gentlemen was discovered to be missing. A. search took place, when he was found lying in the yard on his back, between two coaches, with his throat cut in a most shock ing manner, and weltering in his blood ; a pen knife was lying by his side covered with blood, aid is supposed to have been the deadly instru ment. He was carried into the house and sur gical aid procured, but he expired in about ten minutes. There were no papers found, about him to lead to a discovery who he was ; fifteen sove keigns and a gold watch were found in his pocket. OLD BAILEY, SEPT. i 4. IMPORTANT CABE OF FORGERY. Yesterday, William Pot! and Ahn Tipper, young men of genteel appearance, were indicted for forgery and counterfeiting a hill of exchange, value 26/. 17s. with intent to defraud W. Howell. This trial excited great interest, and the Court was very much crowded, _ Wm.:Howell 'deposed, that he is a gun-maker, and resides at Birmingham. On the 16th July he received a letter signed " J. Tipper," containing an order for 'a double 'and single barrelled gun ; witness, at the time the order was sent, was in London, and it was forwarded to him ; he went to 'Marlborough street, which was the address given, in order to inquire for re ference ; he saw avoman, who told hini that Tipper waS not in ; witness called again the same afternoon, when the same woman told him that Tipper was not in ; witness then left his card,. with a desire that Tipper should call upon him; he had not gorfar before both the prisoners joined him; and asked if his name was Howell; he said that it was, and the prisoner, Potts, then called himself Tipper ; on Monday, according to appointment, they met again, and the prisoners then gave him the order, saying that they would pay lum with a banker's bill; on witness's return to Birmingham, he sent the guns to Mr. Skerrington; on the 27th he received a bill from Mr. Skerring ton, and on 12th of August another bill of the value of £26 17s. ; witness sent the latter bill to a'friend in, London, by whom it was returned. Cross-examined by :dr. ANMlEws—Did not know the bill 'to be a bad one till it was returned. Robert Skerrington sworn—Deposal that he keeps a public house, called the Two Angels, in Crown-street, Martin's-lane; knows Mr. Howell, who had delivered to him two guns, with instructions how to dispose of them; on the 26th July last the prisoner, Pott, came to witness, and inquired if he had not re ceived two guns from Mr. Howell ; witness replied that he had, and Pott purchased the two guns, and paid for them with a bill for 171.; witness asked Pott his name, and Pott said that it was Tipper; Pott came again on the 11th of August, and purchas ed some more guns, paying for them with a bill similar to the former, of the value of 261. 175.; witness said that the bill now shewn to him was the same that he had received from the pri soner Pott ; witness always addressed Pott by the name of Tip per, believing that to be his name., and Pott always answered to the name ; he sent the bill to Mr. Howell the same day. Cross-examined by Mr. ANDREWS.—Witness made no in quiry about the first bill, that was paid to him, because he knew the house in Birchin -lane, by which the bill seemed to be ac cepted, to be !sgood one ; he learnt Pott's real name from him self after his apprehension ; there was no person present when Pott paid the second bill, except a man who came with him, and who, at Pott's desire, carried away : the .box containing the guns. Geoye Jennings sworn, stated that he was a friend of .Mr. Howell's. On the 15th of August he received a bill from Mr. Howell, of the apparent value of 261. 17s. The bill now shewn to him was the same which he had then received ; he carried the bill to Messrs. Williams and Co. Birchin-lane, at the desire of Mr. Howell ; it was to No. 3, Birchin-lane, that he went; when he got there he saw a person folding up papers; theplace struck him as a strange one, and he inquired of the person whom he saw whether that was" Williams and Co. the bankers:" The person replied, that it was the house of " Williams and Co." but not the Bankers of that name; a large brass plate was on the entrance door, bearing the name of Williarns and Co. ; there was a long dark passage, along which he walked, and turning to the right saw a woman folding. linen ; there was nothing about the place that bore, in his opinion, the appearance of a house of business ; witness knocked at a door on the first landing place, which he thought was an office ; there was an inscription on the door, signifying that attendance was given from ten to four o'clock ; witness then went to Williams and Co. the Bankers, and chewed them the bill ; he was there told that the acceptance was not good ; witness then went away, and wrote to Mr. Howell, informing him of what he had seen • the prisoners called at witness's lodgings at the Red Lion and Still, Drury lane, but witness being then out, they left word that they would call again; 'on the following Saturday they did call again, and Pott introduced himself as 'ripper ; Tipper said that he had called upon witness at the request of Mr. Howell, and that lie wished to do some business with him ; witness desired the pri soner to call again on Monday, alleging that he was not then prepared to transact business ; in the interim he wrote to Mr. Howell, desiring him to conic to town by Monday; Mr. H. did So, and when the prisoners called on that day they were ap prehended. Mary Woodhall lives at No. 3, Birchin-lane. On the Ist of November last a man who called himself Williams came to her house, and hired. a counting-house, a diningsroorri s and a bed room ; the apartinents were hired in the names of "Williams, Tipper, and Co.;" the counting-house had formerly been oc cupied by a ship-broker; one day after the rooms had been hired, Mr. Williams came to the house, bringing ,with him a man and woman, whom he called Mr. and Mrs. Germain ; _Williams came again on the Saturday, but she never saw him after ; Tip per used to sleep constantiv'm the house ; she never saw Putt there ; she thought that there was sonic banking business car ried on there, such as exchanging notes, &c.; the business went on until Tipper was taken into .suudy ; Germain acted as clerk ; witness was to receive 801. a-year for the rooms ; she had received a quarter's payment in advance, but had had nothing since ; when the seconu quarter was due, she applied for it, and was told that it would not be paid ; it Was Mr. Germain who paid the first quarter: • • Upon cross-examination witness said, that !Birchin-lane was a place where many persona had counting-houses who did, not re side there ; she had occasionally seen notes presented similar to the one now shewn her. Ile-examined by the JUDGE—There were several other clerks besides Germain ; there were books, &c.; and when they first came they went on very regularly. 3loses Ford sworn—Deposed that on the tld of August he had taken one of these bills, purporting to be of the value of 301. It was accepted by " Williams and Co." He paid the bill away.. . William Salmon was called, but not then examined, as it was first necessary that some clerk from Williams and Co. should be examined to prove chat the acceptance was a forgery—a mes senger was dispatched for that purpose. William Hugh Burgess sworn—Mr. A NDREWS objected to this witness on account of his.being a partner in the banking house. Mr. Justice GRAHAM said that a release might be given. A considerable time elapsed before this could be prepared, and Mr. Justice Graham expressed his surprise that , in a case of such importance an ill-judged economy had prevented the pro secutor from engaging legal assistance. The prosecutor said, that the blame was not his, for that he had been told at Bow-street, that his case was so clear that there was no occasion for Counsel, He had given four guineas to Mr. Stafford for preparing the indictment. • Mr. Burgess examined—l am a partner in the house of Wil liams and Co. bankers. The acceptance now shewn is not the acceptance of that house ; they occasionally accepted bills in that manner; he could take upon himself to swear that it is not the acceptance of the house; one of the partners always writes the acceptances; the acceptance on the bill shewn him is not in the hand-writing of any of the clerks ; witness knows of no banking-house except his own, in London or Westminster, of the firm of " Williams and Co." The form of their acceptance. is, " Williams and Co." Cross-examined by Mr. ANDREIV3.—The mode of accept ance on the bill shewn is common in mercantile houses red ink is also frequently used. The bill now shewn is not at all the hand-writing of the clerk ; the bill is directed to • Williams and Co. No. 3,urchin-lane ; witness's house is No. 20 ; there is a No. 3, in Birchin-line, where witne.ss has seen the name of Williams and ,Co. ; cannot say whether bills intended for his tern house have ever goua to No. 3 ; biUs tticrectoi to No. $ have been brought to witness's house, and been sent from there ts) No. 3 ; that has occurred more than once. • This was the case on the part of the prosecution. The prisoners upon being called on for their defence, declared that they left it to their Counsel.. • Mr. ANtatEws called • Teasdale Cockell, of the Licensing Office, Somerset House ; there was a licence taken out on the 26th of February, 1321, in the name of William Williams, John Tipper, and John Wil liams, all residing at Swansea, to trade as Bankers ; 'no licence is necessary in London, unless the parties issue their own notes, payable on demand ; the licence taken out would endtire till the I2th of October following,. when the licence is taken out, it is necessary that a copy of the bill which is intended to be issued should be given in. —[The copy of the bill was put in, and it appeared that it was made payable at Williams, Tipper, and shams, 3, Birchin-lane.] Mts. Woodhall being again examined, said, that she had sometimes seen similar bills offered at the Counting-house, and paid. Mr. Baron GRAHAM summed up the evidence, observing upon those points which .affected, or spoke in favour of the prisoners. The Jury retired, and after an hour's deliberation, returned with a verdict of—" Guilty of uttering the note with an intent to defraud." Mr. Baron GRAHAM reminded the Jury, that he had in his charge instructed them, that if they should find a verdict of uttering only, then only Pott would he guilty, as there was no evidence to show that Tipper was present when Pott paid away the note. The Jury after a short consultation' returned a general ver. diet of—guilty against Pott, and acquitted-Tipper. This verdict gave rise to a conversation between the Judge, Mr. ANDltr.ws, and the Jury, to ascertain whether the verdict now given against Potts was intended to find him guilty of Ib t ' fiery, or of uttering with intent to defraud. 'Mr. Baron Gitalialt said, that•tbe•question which the 4° l . had' to con - side'r 'Was, whether the prisoners had, or had not , sett the bill in question, 'with a vic* t o teke-ati - tantage 4ot if credit of Messrs. Williams, the real 13arikey..s of that name. the Juit thought That "kith had been.the Intention:then - ill view, it amounted to forgery. The .Ttiry again retired to deliberate. After an absence of half an hour, the Jury again rettirre.`r; and found Potts GUILTY of tittering 'with intent to (100 0 Tipper—NOT GuXt.T . r. •• • ' . .
