TH:g:LONDON JOURNALS. OA list EXTRACTS FROM TIIE MORNINC PAPERS. July • 25. [ritE TIMES.: I I A singular degree of contradiction and obscu rity prevails throughout the whole mass of intel ligence which reaches this country from the Turkish dominions and the parts adjacent. The last Constitutionnel announces that it had receiv ed accounts three days before, viz. on the 18th instant, that Baron Strogonotr was shut up in the Seven Towers, and that the other Christian Am bassadors had- in vain demanded that the Baron should be released,and sent -for safety to Odessa. GC . This news," says the Constitutionnel, " we " were forced by the censorship to suppress, but " the Journal de Paris was yesterday permitted "to publish it." If the suppression of such in telliffeoce by the censors arose from their disbe lief of its truth, the subsequent publication of it may naturally enough be ascribed to . a contrary iMpression. The fact, howeve-r, must still be received with the caution due to its immense im portance; for the committal of an Ambassador to the Seven Towers is an act of decided hostility. —The French Prince de Laval Montmorency beitig recalled from his embassy at the Spanish Court, General Lagarde, it is supposed, will soon set out for Madrid to succeed him. Every part of Spain is said to enjoy undisturbed tranquillity. Merino and Zaldivar, whose petty insurrections haVe been completely extinguished, are spoken of with the Contempt which past annoyances - usually inspire. The clergy express their perfect resignation, and preach universal obedience to lite laws and Constitutional Government. The - extraordinary meeting of the Cortes on the Ist of "October, will be followed by that as a regular `legislative body on the Ist of May; so that 'public business is likely to experience but a brief suspension between the close of one 'session and the opening of the next. [MORNING POST.] We stated a few days since, that we had reason to .believe the contest in South America at an end, -in consequence of the complete submission of the ' Royalists. Every article of intelligence since received from that quarter has confirmed our statement. Kingston Papers to the 4th ult. ar rived yesterday, and brought fresh corroborative accounts. According to these ad vices, the suc cesses of the Independents were so rapid in all quarters, that they had become masters of the cities of Caraccas and Lima about the same time. The accounts of serious corm - notions in Mexico are confirmed. A letter from Kingston, of the 4th ult. mentions that. Commodore Padello had ar rived at Carthagena, with 37 gun-boats, and had cut off the communication between the town and th'e fortress. [BRITISH PRESS.] Report states that Ministers have already com menced the work of retrenchment to w hich they stand pledged by the King's Speech at the c l ose of the late S ess i on o f arliament. The 91st, 92d, and 93d regiments of foot, and the 7th Dra goon Guards, are, it is said, intended for reduc tion: The complement of men in each company of the remaining-regiments, and the Second Majors, it is also said, will be reduced. The salaries of the clerks in all the public offices are also to suffer a considerable diminution. One report states, that all salaries above two hundred a year, are to be reduced 201. per cent. Another report states, that the reduction will be on a graduated scale, viz. all salaries from 200/. to 5001. a year, a reduction of 5 per cent.; from 5001. a year to 10001., ,a reduction of 10 per cent.; and all. above 10001. a year, a reduction of . 15 per cent. From the fall in the price of the necessaries of lifc, particularly the article of bread, it is esti mated that the salaries thus reduced f urn i s h means of subsistence equal to their produce at the time the parties became possessed of them. FSIORNING CHRONICLE.] It appears by letters from Odessa, of the 26th ult., that a Turkish two-decker, one of the fleet, in retreating from Tenedos, ran ashore and. was burnt, that it . might not fall into the hands of the Greeks. The Greeks have taken many small Turkish vessels and have massacred the crews, so that the warfare is horrible on both sides. Ge neral Count Wittgenstein, Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Russian . Army, arrived at Odessa on the 21st June. Ike 'said. that he would,be at - Constantinople within two months; but though be is a good Officer we doubt the rapidity Of his march, as the -.Russians hitherto. have'never been able to penetrate the Bulgarian mountains. The Army under.his command is about 120,000 effective men. Mr. Strangways, attached to Lord Strangford's Embassy, arrived at Odessa on the night of the 21st June, having been prevented from pursuing - the usual route to Constantinople. There was a report of a revolt at Philopopoli, a city in the direct line from Constantinople to Belgrade. The Master of au Austrian ship, and four . others, have been beheaded .at. Constantinople,"iti con sequence of an affray at Galati, on the Danube, from whence .they *ere sent down in a Turkish vessel as prisoners.. • [MORNrNG HERALD.] Ir strikes us that his Majesty's visit to Ire land will be productive of advantages far be yond the mere kindness and cordiality of the moment. We rather look upon it as an event of extensive and permanent influence upon the po litical being of that part of the empire. It will (Jo more to remove from the general mind of the Irish people the notion of their being an appendage, or dependency of Great Britain,—and to estab lish and diffuse the consciousness of being not an appendage, but an integral part of the empire, than all the Acts of Parliament for consolidating the Union, or indeed the Act of Union itself. Acts of Parliament will govern the opinions as well as the conduct of those whose minds, are exer cised and enlightened. But the most authorita tive mandates of legislative power, whether unit ing what was dissevered, or 'separating what was united—though they may govern the acts, will not controul the notions of the great mass 1 of a people.—lt is hy'something palpable—some thing which appeals to the very senses, that conviction is produced .upon the great level of mankind,—which feels impressions rather than exercises thought, and is directed by sentiment and habit more than by reason. When the 'leo ple of Ireland, with their lively imaginations and susceptibility of impulse and impression,behold,the King in the midst of them, and hear from his own lips the language of. a Sovereign to his subjects, the idea of being a dependent province, governed by a Deputy, will vanish, and a greater stride will be made towards a real consolidation of the Empire, in heart and strength, as well as in law, than by the many Acts of Parliament that have been passed for that purpose for the 'last twenty years.—lt is as honourable personally to the King as it must be gratifying to his Majesty's Irish subjects, that this visit is the mere notion of the Royal mind—the sole act of the King ; and it is pleasant to find that the arrival of his Majesty is expected with correspondent and uni versal enthusiasm. Political and religious party —the bane of that part of the Empire—have been neutralized of their :Venom, and the whole people welcome his Majesty with one voice, one heart of loyalty and affection. We are quite sure the traces of his Royal visit will not be obli terated.—lt will give a blow to low squabbles, intrigues, and party bigotries, from which they will never recover. It will have a perma nently healing and harmonizit , effect. The libe rality, truly constitutional, with which his Majesty surrounded himself at his Coronation, with rank and worth, without distinction of party, will, no doubt, characterise his visit to Dublin. The low 'political jobbers and intriguers, of whatever complexion, will be interdicted from the Royal presence ; but, if we are rightly informed, his Majesty will find in Dublin, independently of those who 'are known in the British Court and Parliament, men worthy and capable of sharing the society of an accomplished and enlightened Prince from among the higher Gentry, the Church, and the Bar: It is unnecessary to dwell upon the immediate benefits which must accrue to the industrious classes, from the increased circulation Of wealth, and consequent activity of trade. Even in this respect the effect will be permanently beneficial upon the Irish capital.— The Court there will henceforth be a Royal ra ther than Vice-regal centre of resort for the rank and fashion of the country ; and as this will pro bably not be the sole visit, hut one of his Ma jesty's many happy visits to that part of• the United Kingdotn,' it .may somewhat diminish what the Irish frequently deplore—the number of absentees. [NEW TIMES.] We are sorry to see the SVhigs so sensitive under the lash of The Times. It looks as if there were really some grounds for the insolent tone of superiority assumed by the latter. The Times declares, that the Whigs, in declining to countenance the Queen's resistance to her Sove reign's commands, were actuated by " selfish ness ;" and that in attending the Coronation of the King they exhibited a " sneakery" to ward Ministers. The Morning Chronicle, in stead of treating this scurrilous impertinence with the contempt which it deserves, pleads to the indictment before the Radical tribunal, and seriously labours to conciliate the good opinion of the Universal Suffrage gentry. The substance of i!s plea is that loyalty is pardonable, on this particular occasion, and that a personal attend ance on the King at his Coronation is not to be construed into a defection from that great- cause of which Wood and Ilobhouse, llume and Bur dett, are the leaders. This may surely be -called 4‘ sneakery" of a different kind. It is The Chro nicle ". taking up a position in the rear" Of The Times. It will be seen by our Law Report that three prosecutions`for blasphemy and seditious Libels were tried yesterday against the Shopman and Sister •of Carlisle. On the last of the three, which was instituted by the Constitutional As sociation, we shall not at present make any re mark.' The first was/an information by the At torney-General, and the second an indictment by the Society: for the Suppression of Vice. The perseverance of the, offenders in carrying on the nefarious traffic, for which both Carlile and his Wife were suffering imprisonment in Dorchester Gaol, Was certainly a daring defiance of the law : and the Prosecutors, who interfered to stop so pernicious as evil, undoubtedly deserved well of their country and of mankind. To say that the Liberty of the Press requires impunity to such offences is to be wickedly blind to the moral interests of the whole community, but especially of the rising generation : and to say that any in dividual is not personally aggrieved by a general corruption of morals, and therefore has not a right to arrest its progress by instituting a prose cution, is to evince au equal ignorance of moral duty and of legal right.—And yet it is for ren dering this great and invaluable service to the country at large, that the most senseless clamour was some years ag o ra i se d aga i ns t Th e Society for the Suppression of Vice, and is nqw raised against the Constitutional Association.. Nay, the latter has even been made the object of pro secution! The MordingXhronicle denies that the Prosecutor of the Constitutional Association is Mr. Ex-Sheriff Parkins. We have before us a letter in the hand-writing of that individual, in which he says, " the Bills have been found by a London Grand Jury on the examination of not more than one-hall of the witnesses which I ad duced ;" and he publit•hed.asimilar Letter in one of the Weekly, Newspapers. Now, it is not for us. to decide on the comparative veracity of Mr. Parkins, and the Editor of The Morning Chro nicle; but such are the facts, and we leave the worthy Ex-Sheriff to settle the,matter as he pleases with our cotemporary.—(/bid.) The STAFFORDSHIRE BOWMEN , held their Fourth Meeting last week, at Sandon, at which an elegant Gold Arrow for the .Gentlemen, and a. beautiful. Silver one for the Ladies, were pre sented to the company by Mrs. GOLDSMID, to be shot for. . F'OR THE SUN. CRITICISM. EDITOR—I troubled you a short • time ago with' some observations upon the Architec tural Criticisms contained in a Sunday Paper called " The Guardian," but had no intention to renew or continue my obseNations, as that pre tended Critic's writings always appeared to me contemptible, and had it not been for the indig nation excited by their abusiveness and perso nality, I should not, at any time, have noticed them. The third Number of " The Magazine of the Fine Arts'," however, having in its leading Ar ticle of " Remarks on Cotemporary Criticism" referred to the Criticisms in The Guardian, I am induced again to take up the pen, as those re marks appear to to furnish conclusive evidence of the trumpery which is passed upon the Public as criticism, and which in this book-manufacturing day abounds upon all works and subjects as a matter of trade and business, and as merely such as the vending of gingerbread, which, like Criti cism, is sometimes highly ornamented and served up 66 gilt and lettered" to increase its attractive ness to the untaught children who covet. it, and whom it persuades and pacifies. The remarks set out with informing us that 6 ‘ A Critic is defined to be a person who takes " upon himself to censure others works or writ " ings, whence it may reasonably be inferred " that a Critic ought to be a judge of that which "he takes upon him to censure." Now this is a large admission for a Critic by profession, for such is the writer of the remarks, whom I ask, by what means the Public are to .guess at the due qualif►cxttion of those who take upon themselves 64 to censure the , works of others," and who pass their judgments upon works of Art and of the most abstruse Learning and Science, as though their mighty minds were intuitively gifted with every science and every art, and acquainted with all those multitudinous circumstances which se cretly obstruct their perfection, and that the stores also of the most comprehensive knowledge were within their acquirement and grasp, they being all the while, in the mass, nameless, and un known persons. The writer of the remarks upon cotemporary criticism has • furnished no positive clue to guide our judgment in this respect, but he affords us a glimmering light, for he tells his readers that his remarks " originated in reflecting upon the varie " ties of criticism that occasionally appear in the " daily Journals, and other periodical works, " many of then, evidently the hasty and undi " gested effusions of writers who are either pro " fessionally engaged to contribute a certain " quantity of literary matter to occupy certain " spaces, or the voluntary lucubrations of others, " is he, in spite of nature and their stars, needs "must write ;" and he proceeds to say, and it Is well worth, remembering by all who rely upon criticisms to form their own judgment and opi nions, and by those whose feelings criticisms wound and lacerate, that " if the motives and " objects of these writers were well known and " admitted, there would be little to fear from " their sophistry or false criticism ; but it too " frequently happens that the malignant is art " fill and delusive, and the envious insidious and " deceptive. These are the harpies that. prey " upon reputation, batten on the victim of their " calumny, and gloat over the miseries of those " who, having panted for honours, have been " rendered miserable by illiberal criticism." You hay e thus, Mr. Editor, a Critic's account of the manner in which criticisms originate and are got up to guide the public taste and judg ment, and comtroul that of individuals, and of the possible motives with which they may be written. And you, no doubt, now expect to read the strongest and most unqualified reprobation of those of The Guardian, whose authors, if not the most ignorant, are the most impudent and male volenC" ready-made" critics that ever attempted to live upon the proceeds of obloquy and detrac tion. • You will, therefore, probably be as much surprised as I was, when you read the following approbation —yes, approbation !—of the venom ous criticisms of The Guardian by this writer " on Cotemporary Criticism," who proceeds to state, that cc The Guardian Sunday Paper has " lately taken up the subject of the Arts (a new "trade it seems ) , and in this department, as in its literary criticisms, has generally manifested " talents and integrity ; its comments on A rchi " tectural subjects in particular have - been re cc plete with sound sense and good taste." This is no slight approbation, Mr. Editor, it is full measure and running over ; is The writer of the remarks afraid of his newspaper cotemporary ? has he any blots of 1113 own that might furnish this desperate weekly critic with subjects, or having a decent untarnished coat on, is he de sirous of propitiating this critical chimney sweeper, who walks the same path, and may run against and begrime the unsullied garment of the remark writer, should he think proper. What other mo tives have led him to bestow these praises it is not easy to guess, especially as after his depre catory panegyrick he proceeds to gise the follow'- ing account of The Guardian's criticisms upon Mr. Gandy :—" Mr. Candy complains of The Guar dian as having misrepresented his professional CC character in saying, we have long ceased to consider Mr. Gandy as an Architect, a state " meta subsequently explained as meaning that he " had been chiefly- distinguished for drawings of " imaginative subjects. Mr. Gandy, however, " takes up the gauntlet and enters the lists against " these antagonists," (for there is a whole alpha bet of them, Mr. Editor, and when they rhyme two assistant et ceteras) " and even ventures -with " in the inclosures of their own arena. Though " this may be valiant it is not very prudent or " very skilful, for the experienced Critic, like " the Prize fighter, is wary, circumspect, and ex " pert, in the ayt of assault and defence. The " Critic in The-Guardian has thus an apparent " advantage, for he has made a forcible and des " perate hit, and having roused the anger of his " antagonist has put him off his guard. As by standers" (would not bottle holders better suit the slang of this description) " we must remark " that the Critic has given a foul blow i, c. has " made an assertion not warranted by facts, for CC whatever may be his opinion or consideration "'of Mr. Gandy, Ipowthat Gentleman to be "'professionally and truly air Architect ; he not " only designs edifices, but really superintends " and directs their execution,. If the bent and " enthnsiasm of his mind tempts him to compose " Architectural Pictures, and to produce corn " position's superior to those of Pannini and Pi " ranesi we cannot conceive that he thereby " lowers his professional reputation." By this representation, you must perceive, Mr. Editor, that the talents of The Guardian Critic, as respects Mr. Gandy, are manifested by his want of ability to distinguish that gentle man's merits, and his integrity, by making an as sertion respecting him, not warranted by facts, and this is a species of talent and integrity not confine'd to one individual, when it suits the motives for criticism upon others. • I should have concluded that such a critic had neither talents or integrity, but, on the contrary, that he was one of those " Harpies that prey " upon reputation ; who batten on the victims of 44 their calumny, and gloat over the miseries of " those who, having panted for honour, have been " rendered miserable by illiberal criticism." Of his malevolence I have no doubt, and am willing to admit his superior prize-fighting qualifications, which indeed I should something fear if I had accuird him of making "an assertion not war " ranted by facts ;" but critics perhaps settle these contradictions in the manner described by, one of Shakespeare's inimitable clowns, and as the Magazine and The Guardian had proceeded no further in their difference than to " the re " proof valiant ;" or at most to 44 the lie with circumstance," they may shake hands and swear themselves brothers, without an " if," in which, as a last resource, we are told " there is much virtue" to make up a quarrel. - " Ours are the plans of pece : " To live like brothers, and conjunctive all, " Embellish life ! ! !" I had well nigh written embitter for embellish, but let it pass—though I fear the brotherhood is of the critics only, and I forget . myself in attempt ing to explain, by reference to wit, even of our great Poet, for the writer on cotemporary criti cism states in his remarks that he has a decided objection to wit and ridicule, even as a defensive weapon. I will not suppose that the objection arises from his not being as witty as Sanclicri. , but he may recollect that ridicule has been said by no mean authority to be 44 the test of truth," a test, Mr. Editor, that a critic IS very desirous of avoiding, as it would infallibly extinguish nine tenths of critics and criticisms. I must however ask the writer of the remarks seriously, how he can justify, consistently with his own reputation and with his own account of The Guardian Critic's', attack upon Mr. Gandy, as well as other artists with whose superior merit he must have been in timately acquainted, those praises he has bestow ed upon The Guardian criticisms ? and feeling, as he must, the general vulgar abusive personality of the language in which they are conveyed. Although I have, as I fear, exhausted your patience, Mr. Editor, I cannot sonclude without reference to the literary work of a distinguished French Architect and Sculptor; recently trans lated by one of our Royal Academicians, which states, amongst much highly interestin! , matter, the author's opinions upon the uses and probable effects of criticism upon Artists and their works; and his opinions appear to me to be so correct and enlightened, especially. if applied to such criticisms as our English Artists are now subject to, that you will, I trust, consider them as the most important part of what I now send you. He says, " The steril chilling spirit of criticism, if it prevail 44 too - extensively, becomes the destruction of " taste. The spirit of criticism, of which " I speak, proceeds from the faculty called " reasoning, united in a due proportion with " another faculty, called sentiment, (organ " more adapted for production than examination). 4 4 Reasoning rectifies and corrects the operations " of the mind, but is incapable of imparting to it 44 either action or a creative virtue ; the reason " ing faculty is in its nature unproductive, ap " plied exclusively or without limitation to the " direction of art ; reasoning destroys, but does " not rebuild; invents systems without regard to consequences; discovers faults, but does not " point out beauties ;—it is the torch which il luminates, not the flame wlcl► vivifies." Ile proceeds, speaking of Critics :—" Some, I 46 admit, may lcarn to argue upon certain techni " cal qualities, on particular theoretical points, " and on• what constitutes in a work its defects "or its beauties. But for a few such accom " plished judges, how many unqualified' critics " are there who are in the habit of measuring " feeling by the rules of logic, and dishearten " Artists by instilling into them the dread of " . committing faults, instead of inspiring them " with a courage which would become their 44 apology. All things considered .Artists are " less in need of enlightened judges than of " passionate admirers. The public for whom "'they work must he the feeling, not the 44 critical public. If any thing be likely to ex: " tinguish in, the public as well as the Artist the 44 prolific principle which is the parent of works " of genius, it is the spirit of criticism, analysis, " and method. After having exercised itself on " works completed, it extends its authority over " works in progress, and over things not yet be " gun. No doubt if it were fairly employed " both by the Artist and the Amateur, the arts " would derive some benefit from it ; but we c 4 must not deceive ourselves, the axe is an in " strument very different in its nature from that employed in planting, or in irrigation." I am, Sir, your most humble servant, July 23. P. 0. WALKING ON THE WATER.—Yesterday atter noon another experiment to prove the utility of the Air Jacket, in cases of accident on the water or in bathing, took place near Waterloo Bridge, in the presence of an immense concourse of spec tators, when several person's (one we under stand a female in men's clothes) plunged into the Thames from the barge which was engaged for the purpose, and floated down the River some distance.. OLD BAILEY. THE LATE FATAL RIOT IN WESTMINSTER. The fullowin. - trial, which excited.considerable interest, came on yesterday morning at haft-past ten. o'clock, before Mr. Justice :11 - oLitoYD.

Thomas Ashton deposed that he lodged'at - the house of the deceased Mr. Cogle. On the evening of the 18th June, theiv was a disturbance, and several Soldiers entered- the - house.
