THE LONDON JOURNALS. PALLY EXTRACTS FROM TUE MORNING PAPERS June 28.. [MORNING HERALD.] The foreign news received in the course of yes terday by the French and German Papers are of *no material interest. The latter contain' the re /minder of the Message of the King- of Sweden to the Norwegian Diet, which is tocilong for in sertion. His views, as expressed in this docu ment, are not unreasonable, and he admits, in liberal terms, the rights of the Norwegian people, and the limitations upon his authority. We have 110 further accounts of the Greek insurrection. The Austrian and other German Journals are permitted to speak of its progress almost with favour for some time back, and .the probability of a war between Russia and the Porte is openly stated in the French and other Continental Papers. Some of the French Journals will have it that Bucharest is still in the hands of the Greeks, and that the time at which the Turks were said to have entered that town was within a certain number of days, during which, from a cer tain religious observance, the Turks , never act. [THE TIMES.] The proceedings at Guildhall yesterday were somewhat lively. Mr. Alderman Garrott, in re spect to us, intimated that he had no great occa sion to find fault with The Times ; and we are sure that we neither give him nor any other re spectable ?Mtn, any just cause to blame us : for personal motives are totally removed from us in the concluding of our concern. Our political opinions are on the side of a frugal expenditure in the finances, and of a system of civil administration favourable to the liberties of the country and the rights of the subject. Whatever man opposes these, makes himself our political opponent—not, except he chooses, our personal enemy. .*-* Will any body believe that the foregoing article is an Extract from The Old Times of this day ! ! ! [MORNING POST.] The ,foolish informations against the Secre taries of the Constitutional Association, it will be seen,. were yesterday unhesitatingly dismiss e d a t the lansion House; and the worthy Alderman Garratt, whom the faction so furiously assailed, because of his honest approbation of the prin ciples of this laudable Society, we have the hap piness to state, had yesterday made such further rapid advance in the public favour, that at the close of the poll for Sheriffs, he was no less than 773 a-head of his opponent. This is a double triumph afforded to the ccuie of genuine pa triotism and loyalty, upon which we most cor dially congratulate not only the City of London, but the whole British Empire. In the House of Commons, last night, Mr. tu.rne made his promised motion relative to the Public Expenditure, and on this occasion the Hon. Gentleman did not fail to indulge in his 'accustomed candid and liberal propensities. He was very sensibly and ably ansitered by Mr. •Bankes, who as well as Mr. Gooch did justice to his Majesty's Ministers for their studious atten tion to retrenchment wherever it was found safe and practicable. The Marquis of Londonderry ,animadverted with great force and effect on the conductimrsved - On this and other similar occa; 'sions; and ' ` tZ*7r'esult was the rejection of the Address proposed by Mr. Hume, and the adop tion of one moved by Mr. Baukes in its stead, as ;founded more on justice and candour, whilst it is more likely to meet the general wish hi this re spect.—(Mid.) • 13RITISII PRESS.] The matter of the informations laid before the Lord Mayor, against Mr. Murray and Mr. Sharpe, the. Attorney and the Se4etary of the Pridge : street Association,was.argued at great length yes . terday at the Mansion 7 house. The Lord Mayor hay iog heard evidence and the arguments of Counsel, finally dismissed the informations, upon the ground that the evidence did not appear to him to be suf ficient to sustain them. This decision of the Lord :11fayor does tiOt- imply any opinion upon the part . of. his -Lordship respecting the legality or illegality of the Association, but is limited. strictly to the extent and sufficiency of the evidence sub mitted to his judgment with reference to the de gree of criminality imputed 'to -the defendants, under, special clauses of a particular Act of Par liament. Still less, however, : could the Lord • Mayor's decision. upon these infortnations be sup posed to imply any approbation on the part of his Lordship of the expediency or policy of this Association. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The case of the Bridge-street Association came on yesterday, and. as our readers will see from our Report, the Lord Mayor deciftd that there was not evidence bi.tore him to induce him to pionounce the Association an illegal combination, and therefore dismissed the information. We do not see how, under the circumstances of the case, any other decision could have been given ; for certainly the facts stated in the information were not satisfactorily proved: The decision leaves the question of the, legality of the Association as it was. But suppesing the Association to be an combination, we fear it will be no easy mutter to obtain such evidence of the proceedings of the individuals connected with it, as would be found satisfactory in a Court of Justice. INEW _ _ _ Mr. Ex-Sheriff Parkins's' ricricuinns exhibition took placeyesterdayat the Niansion- House, and met with the result - Which - : every rimn of common sense must have anticipated. We have before ob served, that when an information was formally laid before the Lord Mayor his Lordship could not avoid issuing his summons ; and the Gentlemen cited could certainly feel no wish that their con duct should not undergo the fullest investigation. The Lord Mayor very properly . took 'to himself a legal Assessor at the hearing ; not, we presume, .from the slightest idea Of difficulty in the question, but to take away even from the Raditals them gelves any ground for .questioninghis judgment. The nonsensical complaint against Mr. Sharp was; first heard, and was of course dismissed ; where-; upon the Informer himself .eagerly withdrew the information against Mr. Murray ; fearful, no doubt, of the consequences which the continuing to prefer it might have " drawn down upon him. One consideration, arising out of this impudent information, must, doubticis have suggested it self to every mind. 'The persons who have encouraged and supported it are the first and loudest to cry put against the quirks and quib bles of the law. Now, was there ever such a barefaced quirk or quibble as the attempt to twist a single line in a long Act of Parliament, made for the suppression of Seditious and Treasonable Societies, to put down a Society formed for the purpose of opposing the progress of disloyal and seditious principles? Are these the lovers of liberty and justice ? Are these the men who wish the laws to be administered in a fair and liberal spirit. FOR THE SUN. CATHOLICS. Mn.Enrro R—Your Correspondent O—R. asks for Lord STEwART's sentiments on the Catholic Question, because Prince METTERNICH stood Spotuor for his son. Now, Sir, I conceive it would be more logical to ask what are Prince METTERNICH'S sentiments as to the Protestant Religion 2 - If we wish to emancipate the Catholics from Popish thraldom, surely we ought not to object to their joining in Protestant Religious Cere monies ! I—N. PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. REPORT FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE COR- RESPONDENCE RELATING TO AN EXTRA POST. Although your Committee have entered into an Inquiry of some extent, the advanced period of the Session induces them to abstain froth submitting a detailed Report of the Evidence they have received, or of the nature of 'Mr. Burgess's proposi tion for conveying Letters by an Extra Post. If their investigation had began sooner, they would have felt it their duty to state their views on those points at greater length, but under existing circumstances they submit it as the result of their opinion, that the measure is a practicable one, according to the mode in which Mr. Burgess proposes to carry it into execution, namely, by having a light two-wheeled car riage, jind changing horses at stages no where exceeding eight miles each, to preserve . the animals from over-exertion and distress. _Although your Committee are fully sensible of advantages to be derived. from an accelerated system of correspondence be tween different parts of the country, they feel that considerable inconvenience may arise in the great mercantile towns, from two deliveries and two departures of the Post, at different hours. How far this inconvenience may be counterbalanced by the advantages of the more speedy conveyance, your Com mittee are of opinion that experience alone can enable thepublic to determine. • Your Committee understand that Mr. BURGESS takes upon himself the expense of the proposed plan, with the exception of the charge that will be occasioned by the establishment of an other office in London, the•employment of an addit:onal num ber of letter-sorters and letter-carners, and also. the incidental expenses which may arise from the increase of office duty in some large provincial towns. On this part of the subject your Committee think, that if a practical, safe,, and uniform mode of accelerating the general correspondence of the country should be ultimately adopted, some small increase of public charge would be fully compen sated for, by the considerations to which this Report has already adverted. Upon a review of the whole case that has been submitted to them, your Committee recommend that Mr. Burgess should be allowed to make his experiment. . - POPERY Divion,:),V=A. _literary contest of a very virulent description 1.13; of bite, much occupied the atten tion of the Northern o.tialtieN., , The parties concerned are a Seceder.from the Scotch Otritth, who, in aletter to the Editor of -- ' eirltipaying the highest compliments to eriardlx4,; - 77... • .2.d -- rillstestant Advocate, Sir HARCOURT . LEES, for the,extraordinary talents and ability with which he' has exposed and confounded the pretensions and machinations of the - enemies of our Constitution, complains rather hastily of. the charge Sir lloncounT brought against the Dissenters, in' one of his late convincing letters to the people of England.--- This . address was replied to in a short answer from the enlight ened Baronet, in which he refers him to his letter, and points out the mistake into which the Seceder had fallen, fullyadmrtting the unquestioned loyalty of thatbianch - of the Protestant Church to which he belonged, and recalling to his recollection that he charged nine Sects exclusively with disaffection. It was thought the matter would have here rested,.to the mutual satisfaction of all parties, but unfortunately for himself a Papist of the most in veterate bigotry, outrageously hostile to every description of Protestant or Sectarian, in one or the most rancorous,-inflam matory, and scurrilous productions ever penned,' attacked, without the least shadow of argument, both Sir .HAIWOURT and the Seceder, under the signature of Piiirm VERITAS, but' who we have heard whispered is in reality a Learned Oratori cal Doctor, well known for his politics and his eloquence in the County Cavan. The mighty author of the Antidote was not a man, cd THE REVEREND FATHER STENNETT WILL AD MIT," likely to be insulted with impunity; and his reply has so overwhelmed his opponent with ridicule, and something worse, we are told, that Air. Primo is at this moment meditating , an excursion to America ;101l he is laughed at by all par.. ties ' and .even hooted after as. he rides .through the country ; and to make the matter still more galling, a liberal Roman Catholic of the County Monaghan, has entered the lists against POPERY, and , envenomed - bigotry, and in a powerful letter, in which he lashes.Plll.Lo without mercy, accuses him and those who display equal malignity of heart and head, of being the chief cause why Protestants will ever look with suspicion on their professions of liberality and toleration; while at the same time lie admits that Sir HARCOURT LEES is not only the ablest antagonist the Church of Rome ever had to encounter, but -adduces facts to prove that hellos not one particle , of intoler ance in his nature. Our informant has.promised to procure us this Correspondence, and if what we hear be the fact, we shall not be surprised should a complete submission take place amongst the Spiritual subjects of the Pope of Rome in Irehindl —What does not the British empire owe to the unrivalled ex. ertions of Sir HARCOURT LEES ? (Hibernian Journal, June 23.) ANECDOTE OF MS LATE MAJESTY.—When his . late MAJESTY was residing at the Palace of Kew, the Princesi CHARLOTTE, then a little.gir4 was Staying with the KING ; and it was his delight to take her out with him in his morning and evening walks. On one occasion, as she was going out into the garden from White-house at Kew,. his MAJESTY ob served to the pages, who were standing in the Make way for this poor child." On , this the young Princess remark ed, " I am not a poor child, - grandpapa—indeed I am not."— " Yes, my dear,"_ answered the KING, "you are, and 1 w ill tell you why.

A pass was made out for his conveyance to Scotland, on an allowance of Bd. per day.—; The pauper compl a in e d th a t 3d. a day was too little.to support him Self and his monkey. But the Justice's clerk, who had been highly amused with the tricks of the inferior animal, told tIW vagrant that he would provide for both ; and he accordingly filled. apass for the monkey, under the name of JOH): STRANGE —(Laughter.'—With these paises the vagrant and his monkey were sent forward from the North- Riding of Yorkshire to Scotland ! STE`VART MARJORIBANKS, Esq. one of the Barons in Parliament for Hythe, and WIT,LIAm DEEDES, Esq. are elected Barons from that Port, to support the Royal Canopy at the ensuing Coronaticll.—(Koraish Gazette.) FOR TEE SUN. NATIONAL IiROSPEIIITY.—(No. n) MR. EDITOR—If the - scheme projected by. Mr. OWEN had relation to some object of mere curiosity; if, for instance, it had proposed to enable us to navigate balloons, and had held out an expecta tion that we should be enabled to visit the moon, the extravagance of the idea might have well justified us in concluding, without further inquiry, that the projector was one of those inhabitants of the earth who are peculiarly under the influence of its attendant planet. But, Sir, when an indivi dual, who is allowed on all hands to be a practi cal man, one who has for many years successfully conducted a very Complicated and extensive bu siness, and has been placed at the head of a po pulation equal in number to that of a considerable village, brings forward' a Plan mainly founded upon the result of hiS own experience, and refers to well-established and notorious facts in proof of the soundness of other principles which he pro poses to combine with those which he has him self ascertained by induction. When, moreover, the Plan in question promises to effect objects which are universally admitted to be in. the highest degree desirable, you must allow that the apathy with which the public have hitherto treated Mr. OWEN'S overtures is somewhat extraordinary. SELDEN, in his table talk, says," to preach long, Cc loud, and damnation, is the way to be cried up ; cc we loVe a Man that damns us, and we run after " him again t 6 save Us . ." This remark was con firmed by a circumstance which took place in the last century.. A benevolent individual published a Tract entitled " Heaven open to all men." The public were quite satisfied with reading the title page in the Bookseller's windows. Soon afterwards came out another entitled " Die and be damned," which speedily ran through several editions. If' good Mr: OWEN had fore told a plague, pestilence, or famine, or. had in vented some dreadful .instrument of destruction, he would have had all London at his heels . : but as he simply informs us how we may get rid of poverty, and its attendants, vice and misery-, he spreads forth his hands in vain; the people, like the deaf adder, will not listen to the voice of the charmer, charm lie ever so Who but Mr. OWEN has, in' these heartless days, been bold enough to address kind, warm, joyous language to poor human nature ?—Our ears have been dinned by the croakings of evil Prophets, and by . the clamorous outcries of the Reformists ; the mildest tones which assail us, are exhortations to bear with patience the ills we know, lest we should incur others of amore aggravated na ture. Mr. OWEN alone, announces glad tidings. He declareS, that from • the lofty mount of his contemplations, he has descried the utmost skirts Of the dense cloud which overshadows us; that the night is far spentond such a day at hand as never rose on Britain since her verdant boscim first emerged from that ocean which her valorous sons were destined to rule. Perhaps it would have, been more politic if he had repressed the exube rance of his feelings ; and, like the great lumi nary, had afforded us a grateful twilight. A sudden glare of light is as unfavourable to dis tinctness of vision, as utter darkness. IRA it was much more natural that, like ARCHIMEDES, he should exclaim Eureka !--" Felix qui potuit re rum cognoscere causas." The - evats of the last thirty years, and more especially 'the falsification of the hopes which, previously to the horrors of the French Revolu tion, beamed upon the minds of Philanthropic Philosophers,have tended to lower the tone of their expectations; and certain Political Economists. have (no doubt with the best of motives) laboured successfully to limit our views to a state of things little better than we now experience. The principle of population, it is now generally supposed, will ever defeat the attempts of mankind to escaPe from the inconveniences, that have more or less' ever pr,essed upon them. We are told that it is vain to hope that the great bulk of society should for any continuance enjoy the blessings of abun dance and ease. These well-intentioned and able writers have, it must be owned, triumphantly refuted the several wild schemes which men of fervid imaginations have devised for effecting an equality ofEcondition among the members of the commonwealth. The radical error of these systems is, that they war with the understand ing and with the heart, and that the equa lity which they contemplate must be effected and preserved by restrictive laws, limiting the amount of individual wealth, and thus neces sarily paralizing those energies to which society owes all the mental and material riches which it possesses. It cannot for an iAtant be ques tioned, that such schemes are utterly futile ; and that it is infinitely preferable to trust to the benign spirit of our holy religion,and the multifari ous expedients which have been adopted for mi tigating the operation of those laws by which the rights of property are justly and wisely se cured to the industrious, the intelligent, and to the sons of fortune. The plan of the philosopher of New Lanark has, whether from inattention on the part of the public, or from an obscurity in his own statements, been strangely confounded with the schemes above alluded to. But in truth, no two things can be less alike. Mr. OWEN has no such idea as to impoverish the rich in order to benefit the poor, or to depress the higher in order to elevate the lower ranks. His object is to shew, and I venture to affirm that he has actually shewn, how those who are now a burthen to society, may be enabled not merely to maintain themselves, but rapidly to create a degree of wealth, - and to acquire such habits as will unquestionably qualify them to take the lead in the career of civilization, urJess, indeed ,the other Members of the Community shall have the wisdom to associate on the same principles. ' I had the pleasure to spend an evening lately with a party at which Mr. OWEN was present, when he exhibited drawings of the eleVations and ground plans of his projected villages, and ex plained all the data upon which he has made his calculations of the expence of lodging, subsist ing, cloathing and educating three hundred families. He made it appear, to the 'entire satisfaction of every one present, that, at the prices charged at the city of Glasgow for building and ,other materials, r ,and -at the late of wages, and reiit,of land usually, demanded in that vicinity, such a communitTmight., for a rental of 151. for each family (supposing the re spective families to consist on an average of four persons), be surrounded, by comforts hitherto un known to the industrious classes ;—that the whole population might, under the projected arrange ments, be subsisted, and instructed in all useful branches of knowledge,, at an.expence not ex ceeding 401. per annum for each family ; while the earnings of each family, on the most moderate computation, and supposing one-fourth of the po pulation to be, from various causes, inefficient, would yield 581. per annum, and thus insure an annual saving of 181. to each. Mr. OWEN assured us; that the actual expe rience at his establishment at. New Lanark, con sisting of between 2000, and 3000 individuals of both sexes, and of all - ages, would fairly warrant a; more favourable conclusion. He also observed, that in the statement which he laid before u 4, he had not, made any, allowance for the profits which would most assuredly accrue from the industry of a population, associated and occupied in agricul ture, horticulture, and .in various manufactures.; but had merely set down the price which is now paid for the labour of the working classes. • But, Sir, it would be doing great injustice to the Plan, were. I. to pass over some-of its other striking features. Those who have not been in the habit of considering what may be effected, in point of economy, by unity and association, may suppose, that the lodging, food; and clothing of the inmates of; Mr. Ow EN'S village, must be upon a scale similar to our pauper establishment, or, at the best, on a par with what may be com manded by the very lowest and Worst paid-of the laborious classes. They will, perhaps,,. be .sur 7 , prised to hear that these villagers are not to be thrust up into garrets, or crammed into damp cel lars ; but that their dwellings will form a square C.r• dimensions nearly equal to Lincoln's-inn fields: that each married pair will have a sitting room well finished, 15 feet by 13, and 9 feet 2 inches in height,. l oo ki ng i n t o th e square, which may be easily laid out in the best taste ; a bed room, 15 'feet by 11, intended to hold a large and a small bed,. looking into gardens, and over . the.: , into a well cultivated country ; that these accomodations are designed to accommodate - a man, his wife, and two children only, under three years •of .age; that in the centre of the square . will .stand a church,-, and meeting houses for dissenters ; eating rooms, kitchen, schools, library, infirmary, and hotel' for strangers, all ,well furnished; and that the whole will be .Sur rounded by about 600 .•acres of land, of a fair average quality.. But, Sir,. as I am merely an Index, I must refrain from entering into further particulars ; the book itself is accessible to . the public. Suffice it at present to say, that on duly considering the plan in all its bearings, I was constrained to declare, and I abide by the decla ration, that if' .1 could not participate:in:the ad vantages which indubitably belong exclusively to an association formed .upon the principles pro jected by the ,neglected individual, whose name will be held in "veneration' by future generations, otherwise than.by becoming.a'pauper, a pauper would become. • -CI have muCh.more to say upon this subject, and, „n are not weary of my cinfespondence, you on bearagain•from, • Sir, June 6, 1621.

ROYAL SOCIETY OF LITERATURE.--It will be recollected,- that one of the first steps taken by the Royal Society-of Literattre was to offer pre thiums of one hundred, fifty, and twenty-five guineas, respectively, for the best View of the Age of Homer, the best Poem on Dartmoor, and the best Essay-on the Greek Language ; which should be snbmitted it within certain periods. It gives us much satisfaction to state that the second of these competitions has been determined, and that on opening the sealed reference to the name of the author, it was found, that. the decision had fallen upon a lady of celebrity in the Literary World, Mrs. Hernans; who, has, it is said, produced a beautiful poem ,on the- occasion, and one likely-10 add to her fame. From the announcement, we observe, that the Essay on the Age of Homer should he sent in at farthest by the 22d Feb. 1822 ; and the time for the reception of the Essay on the- Greek Language, will, it is expected, be .prolonged to the same period. As both these subjects are obviously highly interesting, and peculiarly so, under the present circumstances of Greece, and ; as they are open to the whole• world, it-may be anticipated that they will lead to some very striking communications.

Put the.paper so moistened upon the writing, and both between 'cap or other soft paper, placing the whole 'on the carpet or hearth rug, one end of which is to be . folded.over it. By standing and treading' upon this, an impression will.be, taken, equal, if not superior, to what would have. been taken by a copying machine. A Poor blind man, of the name of JAS.
