THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING . PAPERS July 24. • [MORNING_ POST.] SuffiCient time has now,elapsed to enable us to ascertain the nature of the spirit displayed in all partS of the Empire on 'the subject of the Coro nation. The result is most gratifying. That the c - ercmony should have been considered as a local one, and as such confined to the metropolis, would have argued no want.of feeling and loyalty in the people. For though the Coronation is a solemnity which draws the last bond between the King and his subjects, yet as it can only take place where the Monarch is present in person, the rest of the country might have remained quiescent withbut incurring any charge of faint heartedness. I - low different, however, has been the conduct of the people ! In every town and village the Coronation has been celebrated by spontaneous rejoicings of the most enthusiastic'' description. But one feeling seems to have actuated the great mass of the country; that feeling was Loyalty—not that cold and formal Loyalty which proceeds from a sense of duty alone ; ; but that warm and generous spi rit which springs from sincere affection, and which is not the less steady for being full of zeal, energy, and activity. Even in thoSe parts where, till repressive laws had been enacted, the arts of the seditious had been most successful in creating disturbance, all was festivity and joy. The attempts of a few individuals to check the° ebullitions of popular delight only served to de monstrate its reality and its strength. In vain had they recourse to delusion and forgery : at Manchester, Bolton, and the neighbouring places, those very persons whose names had been used without their consent, protested against the fa. brication, and spontaneously came forward in the various processions to record their loyalty to their Constitutional Sovereign; At Edinburgh the defep.t of the Radicals was still more signal, whilst all ranks and all parties united in cele brating the Coronation with a degree of enthusi asm, which promises but a poor reception to the Queen, should that misguided individual persist in making the capital of Scotland another step ping-stone to her own disgrace. Disaffection, if it still exists in any part of this great Empire, only exists in concealment and in fear. The hour is come when, loyal principles alone shall prevail. The triumph of good over evil is begun; external peace shall in future be attended by in ternal tranquillity ; and we shall no longer pre sent to the world the extrabrdinary spectacle of a nation all-powerful abroad, though torn by factions at home. [NEW TINES.] The rumours of war between Russia and Tur key have obtained so much consistency as to pro duce a marked impression on the Funds, as will be seen by reference to our statement of the price of Stocks. We are nevertheless of opinion that the alarm is to a great degree premature. Russia, we confidently believe, will not engage in hosti lities which may reasonably excite the jealousy of the other Great Powers. It is very true, that the policy of the Russian Cabinet for nearly a century has been to aggrandise itself in the di rection of. Turkey ; but the events of the last ten or twelve years have greatly modified that policy. The Emperor Alexander has learnt, from the example of Buonaparte, how very un certain is the tenure oT conquests, in times like the present ; and the approkimation of the Great, Powers to. each other in Congresses and Meet ings of Sovereigns, has impressed on each the necessity of moving only in concurrence with the general views and wishes of all. True it_ is,ths.t. the Turks, with the barbarism which has .always formed a part of their national character,. have committed atrocious cruelties on the Greeks ; and that in their indiscriminate rage they ,have treated the Russians in their power with - great indignity. But on the other hand, the Greeks have sitewn equal ferocity toward the Turks; and it is impossible for an enlightened Government like that of Russia to sanction the excesses of either party. The report, that war had actually been declared at St. Petersburgh against Turkey is not confirmed. Letters from that place, of the 29th ult. having been received, which make mention of no such event. We may therefore upon the, whole conclude, that though. the Em peror will probably insist on some reparation for the injuries inflicted on his subjects, yet a com pliance with his demand will be sufficient to avert a war. , The maritime successes of the Greeks place them on high ground in negociating; ,and it may not be improper for the Great Powers of Europe to interfere in the character of Mediators, for the purpose of obtaining for the Greeks some security against future, oppression. [MORNING HERALD.] It. is hard to contemplate without horror Alte condition of the Greeks, if replaced under Turkish dominion. The sufferance of that bar barous. Government, in the midst of, or at least in contact with European civilization, is an ano maly. The atrocities committed in the present instance are sufficient to mark it for outlawry from the community of nations. The ferocity of its defiance does not result from strength, but from blind fury and fanaticism.—The Osmanlis and Janissaries (the religious and military fana tics of Turkey) have united, we are told, and by influence or terror gained a complete: ascendant. if the Ilusiians have really begun the war, of which there seems no doubt, there is every pros pect of an end to the Turkish power in Europe. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Stock Exchange was considerably, agitated throughout the whole of yesterday, by various reports respecting the state of the relations be tween Russia and Turkey; and it was at one One confidently asserted, and very generally be lieved, that war had been declared by Rusoia.-- Very extensive sales were effected for. .the cur rant account, which seemed to give a certain de wee, of confirmation to these ,rumours, and the effect was a reduction of one per cent, in the Consols for Account. The intelligence which we have received from Hamburgh, Brussels, and some parts Of Germany represents a war between Russia and the Porte as inevitable the accounts from Paris upon thi s p o i n t ar e conflicting; while those from Vienna are positive in declaring that no apprehension was entertained in that city of a rupture between the Courts of Petersburgh and Constantinople. ft is certain that the Austrian and French Government securities have rather improved in value, which would shew the feeling entertained upon the probability of a war by the best informed commercial persons in both those cities. - [TIIE TIMES.] An evening Paper of yesterday contains a list of quotations out of the Ministerial Journals ap plied to the King; and surely, if the present King of England could be made ridiculous by praises of such a description as were never be fore applied either to human or angelic natures, his Majesty would be exposed to that risk. We observe, with other trifling qualities ascribed to his Majesty, that the Courier and the Morning' Post make him immortal five or six times over. Nay, they even seem to us to confer immortality on his clothes. (These Journals need not find themselves flattered by the mention which we thus :make of them ; we shall probably never do it again). •But is not this sycophancy disgraceful to the age and country in which we live? We do not observe that foreign journals are now sul lied with such execrable trash as that to which we have above alluded. in one respect his Ma jesty appears to us to deviate from the establish ad practice of elegant and polite life; that he ?quabbles endlessly with his wife, even though they never see each other ; and those who con tend do, so long as the contest continues', place themselves on the same level: but tender ness, forbearance, compassionate attention, constitute the treatment which even erring fe males usually receive at the hands - of the magnani mous.- good. Some, perhaps we may say many, people now blame the Queen for going to West minster ; but few, except her Majesty's avowed enemies, cried out against the measure till it was executed. For our own part, we shall neitho strenuously defend nor wholly blame it ; but we will suppose, for argument's sake, that the going to Westminster Hall and Abbey was as wrong as any measure of such a nature could - possibly be. Mercy on us What is it at last ? Nothing ; infinitely less than nothing, if the doctrine of in finite simals admit of such a subdivision; infinitely less than nothing in a contest which has lasted for upwards of a quarter of a century, and during which her Majesty's life, and then her honour, have been aimed at. Her imputed crimes are now all dwindled to this—that she went to Westminster Abbey, and demanded admittance to witness the coronation of her husband and cousin. We wonder, the very stones did not cry out against such impiety. There were some hired brutes, by the way, less sensible than stones, it is said, that did cry out ; but by the great mass of people, her Majesty was received, as she ever has been, with the most enthusiastic applauses. _ [MORNING CHRONICLE.] . We cannot avoid expressing our - surprise at a most unprovoked attack on the great body of the Whigs in The Times of yesterday. A more un founded or more absurd conclusion was never drawn from any fact, than the Editor has chosen to deduce from the circumstance of the respect shewn to his MAJESTY by several of the most distinguished Members of Opposition on the day of the Coronation. The attendance of those noble persons to perform a duty which peculiarly became the descendants of the patriots to whose efforts we are indebted for the Constitution we en joy, and for the illustrious family they called in to support it, gives occasion to the writer to insinuate, " that they have taken up their " position in the rear Of the present Ministry." Does the writer know so little of the principles of Whiggism as to confound the eXpression of loyalty to the Crown with acquiescence in the system of Ministers ? This is the first time t hat a public demonstration of respect to the Monarch and the Monarchy has been attributed to a poli tical support of the Ministry. How can it be said that the Whigs have taken up a position in the rear of the Administration? They have uni formly opposed and will continue to oppose tike system; both foreign and domestic, upon which the Cabinet have acted, and which they think diametrically opposite to the true dignity of the Crown, and the best interests of the Country.-- There is no inconsistency in that manifestation of constitutional respect for the Throne, which has ever been the characteristic of the Whigs, and the maintenance of that independence' of political opinion which has insured to them the confidence of the people. The real inconsistency lies with those who would endeavour to confound the Throne and the homage, which, on all occasions, quietly and constitutionally be longs to it, with the misgovernment and abuses for which its Ministers are alone responsible — and who - seem to think that there is no way of exposing the latter, -but by withdrawing all re spect from the former—studiously blending what it is no less the duty of every subject, than the interest of every lover of freedom, as enjoyed under a mixed Government, to keep distinct, the political character of the Sovereign, and that of his Advisers. We are able to contradict, from authentic sources of information, the rumours in the City yesterday, of the murder of Strogonoff at Con stantinople; the defeat of the Turkish squadron at Mytelene, and in the gulph of Lepanto; and also that the fortresses on the 'Morea had all fallen into the hands of the Gre€ks. We are in possession of advices from Constantinople to the 21st of June, and from the lonian Islands to the 6th 'instant. The intelligence from the for rner is that the Turkish squadron, which had sailed, has been driven back within the castles of the Dardanelles, by a Greek fleet of upwards of 100 vessels. The latter was lying off Tenedos. Arrests at Constantinople were more frequent than ever, and the most serious apprehensions were entertained that before the end of the Ra mazan the Janizaries would rise and commit hor rible excesses. There is no mention made of any indignity being offered to Strogonoff. The lonian Islands remained in a:state of tranquil lity. At Patras, every thing was quiet on the 22d June, and the Turks were still in possession of the town and surrounding country. The Peshwa had given notice to those Consuls who remained, that he could no longer assure their safety, as in the expected event of an attack from the Greeks by sea and land, it was his intention to set fire to the few houses which remained standing, and retire into the fortress. A. Greek squadron, consisting of 23 sail, was before the town of Lepanto, im mediately opposite Patras ; but no operations had taken place, nor had any of the Turkish ves sels lying there been taken. The fortress of Le panto is strong, and as it has the assistance of five Turkish vessels lying in the Strait of Patras, may hold out. The Turks throughout the Mo. rea are greatly in want of corn, and unless they are supplied by the new crop, may be forced to yield from famine.—(Mid.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 23 EX-PARTE DAVIES AND OTHERS IN THE HATTER OP . HOWARD AND GIBBS. On the application of Mr. HART, the VICE-CHANCELLOR otdered that this Petition should stand over until the Petition now pending for superseding the Commission should be dis posed. of. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 23. COOPER V. WRENCH AND OTHERS. This was, an action for money had and received by the de fendants for the plaintiff's use. The circumstances of the case were these ; . . _ _ One Pratt had a pecuniary daim on a person named Robin son, and was also interested for other persons to whom the latter owed money; he took a warrant of attorney from Robinson to enter up judgment in the usual form, after which he assigned his interest in the warrant of attorney to the plaintiff Cooper, who af terwards entered up judgment, took out execution, and the Sheriff 1 evied the money. Pratt afterwards became bankrupt. The defen dants were his assignees, and they gave notice to the Sheriff not to pay over the money, a nd gave him an indemnity, unon which the plaintiff brought the present action against the defendants as assignees of Pratt. The question was, whether an action for money had and received would lie. Mr. Justice BEST was of Opinion it would not lie at the suit of the plaintiff, although it might at the suit of Pratt.—Plaintiff nonsufted. SHEPPARD V. CAMPBELL AND OTHERS. This was an action brought to recover 1,1331., being the value of about forty tons of lead sold by the plaintiff to the de fendants as ballast of a ship called the Lady Carrington, of which they were owners. The defendant, Campbell, pleaded bankruptcy, and a Nom PR osEQui was entered as to him.— The other defendants pleaded the general issue not liable. The tingle question in . the cause was, whether the lead which was the subject of the action had been sold for the purposes of the vessel, and on the account of the defendants generally, or to the defendant Campbell, on his personal credit, and for his account and advantage. The plaintiff, proved a PRIMA FACIE case, that they had sold the lead upon the credit and for the account of all the defendants. For the defendant Milroyd, it was proved, that he was merely the assignee of one of the owners.— Dawson ' another of the defendants (a tinman in the neighbour hood of Covent-garden), defended himself on the ground that he was merely a dormant owner, and had nothing to do with the contro u l o f t h e s hi p , an d to ok no part in giving orders con cerning it ; the defendant, Campbell, who was a member of Parliament at the time, was the acting owner. The defendant, Campbell, was called as a witness for the other defendants, and stated that the lead had been sold to him by his order, as ballast for the ship, and on account and credit of the owners generally. He had received per e mptory orders from the Chairman of the Court of Directors of the East India Company to send the ship to sea forthwith, as she had on board stores and-troops for St. Helena. In consequence of the repre sentation made to him by the Captain, that the ship was not in a condition to sail without a considerable addition to her quan tity of ballast, and upon the suggestion of the Captain, that lead was an eligible article, he had given the order for the lead in question. Mr. Justice BEST charged the Jury that in point of law the owners of a ship are liable for all articles supplied which are necessary for the use of the ship, and in that case they would be bound by the order of the acting owner. The Jury would judge wheth er th e l ea d under' the circumstances stated was a necessary article or not. They would also judge of the credit due to Mr. Campbell's testimony. Mr. Campbell had been un fortunate, but GOD forbid that a man's misfortunes should cause his veracity to be called in question. He had distinctly sworn that the lead was supplied for the purposes of the ship, and bought on the credit of the owners genetally ; if, there fore, they believed him, the plaintiff was entitled to their vet diet. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages £1,133. SHEPHERD V. KING. This was an action upon the warranty of a ship, called the Fortitude, that she was copper fastened. The plaintiffhad pur chased the vessel at auction . for £2,300, with a war r a nty that she was coppe r fastened, but at the end of the particulars of sale were the words "to be taken with all her faults." She went a voyage to the West Indies, and on het return it was found that she was not copper-fastened as warranted, and the plaintiff now sought a recompence in damages for the breach of the war ranty. Without copper-fastenings it was stated that she would only be worth £l6OO. The question was, whether the words " to be taken with all her faults" did not controul the special warranty that she was copper fastened ? Mr. SCARLET T was for the plaintiff, and Mr. StaLicrTon- GENERAL for the defendant. Mr. Justice BEST charged the Jury, that the special warranty having been broken, the plaintiff was entitled to recover. Verdict for the plaintiff--:Damages referred. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. DAVIS V. TIIE BANK OF ENGLAND. This was a case of great public imp or t ance . Th e p l a i nt iff , Mr. Horatio D av i s , is brother to Captain Davis, who escaped from Giltspur-street Compter in the month of April last year, while under confinement on a charge of having committed a forgery on Messrs. Drummonds, the bankers • and the present action was brought to recover t h e pr i ce of 10,0001. 3 per Cent. Consols, and 751. Long Annuity, the property of the plaintiff, which had stood in his name, and was-transferred by a forged power of attorney. Mr. Serjeant LENS shortly stated the plaintiff's case. He said, it was admitted by the Bank that the stock in question had stood in the plaintiff's name, and was transferred under a power of attorne which purported to nave been executed by him; but which it should be proved was a forgery. In all fovmer-cases the Bank had not disputed their liability to make good to the Proprietors of Stock any transfer of their property which was - made without their knowledge by means of forged instruments; why they should be degirotis of trying the experi ment in the present instance it was not for him to judge, but he trusted the verdict of the Jury would satisfy the public that the property they invested in the public funds of the country en joyed the same security as every other species of property, and that it was not to be conveyed away from them without their consent or knowledge. The only witness'called on the part of the plaintiff was his mother, Lady Davis, who proved that the plaintiff's name to three different powers of attorney, under which the stock was sold, was in each instance a forgery ; and that her own name, which appeared on each power of attorney as a witness, was also a forgery ; and that the name of her son, John Henry Davis, the other witness to said powers of attorney, was ge nuine. The powers o f a tt o rney . purported to hie executed to Messrs. Drummond, bankers, giving them power to sell and transfer the plaintiff's stock.—The plaintiff's case closed here. Mr. Serjeant BOSANQUET addressed the Jury for the Bank. —The Learned Gentleman disclaimed on the part of the Di rectors any intention of trying an experiment in the present case, or of in any manner departing from that honourable line of conduct for which they were distinguished, and which had justly acquired for them the confidence of the great body of Bank Stock Proprietors, for whom they acted, as well as of the public at large. The real question was, whether the plantiff had not, by his own conduct, deprived himself of the remedy he would otherwise have had ? It would be proved that 50001. of the plaintiff's 3 per Cent. Consols had been transferred on the • 12th October, and 50001. on the I6th of Nov. 019, and the amount of each sale. paid to Messrs. Drummonds, the bankers of John Henry Davis, and by them placed to his credit. On ' the 10th of Jan. 1820, the plaintiff purchased 1001. Navy 5 per Cents. of which stock he had at the time 8001. On the 11th he received from his brother, J. H. Davis, by a cheque on his bankers, the sum of 1501. being exactly the amount of the divi .dend then payable on the three per cents, which had been trans ferred by J. H. Davis, and one check for 801. On the 12th of January, the plaintiff went to the Bank, and received 201; th e half year's dividend on his N a vy fi ve per cents. and if he were then.ignorant of the transfer of his 10,0001. 3 per cents. by his brother, and had not received the 1601. frost him in payment of the dividend then due, why not demand payment at the Bank ? He states, in answer to a Bill in Chancery that- had been filed . by the Bank, that he only demanded payment of the 201. be cause he was going into the city to an auction, and thought he might want that sum, rut did not suppose he should want more.' It would be proved that he purchased his consols in May, 1819, and that he zeceivecl his first dividend on the day it bea came due ; and it Would be foe' the Jury to judge whether the 1501. he received from his brother on the day the se cond dividend became due, was not in payment of it. -But even if he had knowledge on the sth of March, of the fraud practised in the transfer of his stock, and delayed communicat ing it to the Bank till the month ofOctaSer following, he had de prived himself of all remedy, and that he had so conducted tim self would be.clearly proved. In his answer in Chancery lie ad mits, that while his brother was in custody on the charge of for gery on Messrs. Drummond, viz. on the sth of March, 1820,he *aid to him, " as you have been forging on a stranger, have you done any thing- with my property ?" In reply to which his bro ther said, " I have taken. your 10,0001. three per cents. and 751. long annuities." The plaintiff knew he had not made any trans fer, nor executed any power of attorney ; how, then, could his brother have taken these sums but by forgery ? His brother re mained in prison till the 7th of April, when he escaped. Had the plaintiff given notice at that time to the Bank, they might have taken steps that would have prevented J. H. Davis's escape, and have rendered him amenable both to civil and criminal justice. T &not mean, said the Learned Gentleman, that the plaintiff should have become an informer against his brother ; but I do mean, that he must himself take the consequences of -his for bearance, and not seek to make others pay the price at which he exercised his fraternal affection. Other persons have also con cealed the faults of members of their family, but they did so at their own cost. The present plaintiff suffers his brother to escape, waits till he is certain that he is in a place of safety, out of the reach of pursuit, and then calls upon the Bank to pay him the loss he has sustained by his brother's conduct. The plaintiff, before his brother's escape, and while ha was in prison on the charge of forgery, obt a ined a n o r d er from him on Messrs.- Drummond for the payment of any balance to his credit in their hands. At this time he knew the produce of his stock.had been paid to Messrs. Drummond on his brother's account, and he now sought to obtain what remained of it, though it hap pened to be no more than £23 11s. 2(1. - which sum he actually received. On the sth of April the long annuity which had been sold by the plaintiff's brother was payable. At this time the plaintiff had full inforthation that it had been transferred, but rather than inform the Bank of the fact, he allowed another person to receive . it without making any complaint. But in September, after two dividends on the Consols had been paid, and when his brother was safe in a foreign land, theflaintiff goes through the farce of - sending a power of Attorney to Brokers in town to receive his dividends. On the 28th Of Oc tober, 1820, thnplaintiff first demanded payment'of his stock at the Bank, but had he not greatly prejudiced the Bank by con cealing till then the fraudulent' transfer that had been made of it ? The Bank Directors are agents for the public in the pay ment of stock, and it is part of their duty to punish frauds, but the plaintiff had deprived them of the means of doing so. The facts as stated by the Learned Serjeant were fully proved. Mr. Serjeant LENS replied, and contended, that the Bank were not placed in a worse situation by the concealment which the plaintiff had practised. The CHIEF JUST ICE commenced his charge by saying, that whatever might be the result of this new and singular case, in his opinion the Bank Directors hail exercised a sound discretion in bringing it before a Jury. The case of the plaintiff was to be lamented, as if he did not recover be was ruined by the act of another, of which he had no privity, and must suffer the loss of his fortune by his affection for his brother ; still the law made no allowance for his fraternal feelings, and if, after lie had know ledge of the-fraudulent transfer of his Stock, he colic-laded it from the Bank, in the view of the law it was sufficient that the Bank might have suffered injury. The question was when had the plaintiff knowledge of the fraudulent transfer ? If' he be. lieved he knew it on the 12th January, when he received the 1501. from his brother, there could be-no doubt lie adopted it, and deprived himself of any remedy . ; even if he did not know it till March, he had by his suppression of the information till his brother had fled the country, deprived the Bank of the means of obtaining either civil or criminal justice. „ The Jury, without any hesitation, found a verdict for the de fendants. EXECUTION OF DAVID llAGGART.—Yesterday morning this unfortunate young man underwent the heaviest penalty of the law, for the murder of the Dumfries tuttikey, at the usual place of execution, head of Libberton's AVynd.— About.half-past eight o'clock he. was brought out of the cell in the Lock-up-House, where he had spent the night, preceded by Bailies Child and lll‘lien2ie and the City Officers, and attended by the Rev. Henry Grey, the Rev. Dr. Anderson, and the Rev. Mr. Porteous, Chaplain of the Gaol. The appearance of the unhappy youth, on quitting the prison, was firm and unshaken, and his countenance exhibited a degree of mildness astonishing to those acqiiainted with the daring hardihood of his character and exploits. The calm serenity, however, de picted on his countenance was changed for a moment to an ex pression of grief, and he even shed a few tears on hearing an exclamation of sorrow involuntarily burst from a . few'-women assembled in Libberton's Wynd to catch a glimpse his tall, slender person, as lie passed to the Platfotin. When - on. ..the scaffold, part of the 130th Psalm was sung, and a fervent and impressive prayer • was offered up by Mr. Grey. Ha&- gart' then shook hands with the ministers and the magi strates, bidding them* farewell in a most affectionate man ner, and ascended two or three steps of the platfomi but, wishing to say a feW words, he came down to the scaffold, when, turning to the multitude, he earnestly conjured them to avoid'the heinous crimes of disobedience to parents, inattention to the Holy Scriptures, and being idle and disor derly. When he had finished his short address, he requested Mr. Grey to give out part of the 23d Psalm, whicifwas accord ingly sung. He then knelt down, and prayed fervently and eloquently for a few minute after which he took his station on the drop, and spent a few minutes in prayer, when he gave the signal, and was launched into eternity. He was decently dress ed in black, and seemed stouter than when on his. trial. The crowd assembled on the occasion was immense.—(Edinburgh Courant, July 19.) Sir WILLIAM MAXWELL'S celebrated race-horse Clootie (formerly Lucifer) was found dead in his stall, at Gullan Links, on Thursday morning last. He was quite well the evening before.---(Edinburgh Paper.) It is very confidently expected, the KING will visit the Scottish metropolis in his projected tour. We can further state, from what we con ceive to be good authority, that his AIAJESTY will, in all likelihood, come up the Clyde, landing as before mentioned, at Dumbarton, and proceed ing to Buchanan, the residence of the Duke of MoNmosE, and from thence to Blair House, the seat of the Duke of ATHOL, where preparations are making for his reception: His MAJESTY iS to repose on the state bed presented to the Athol family by Queen ANNE. The KING is also to pay a visit to the Marquess of ILUNTLY, at Kin rara, and is expected to he in Edinburgh in the first week in September.—(Greenock Advertiser.) The " genteel beggar," who lately attracted so much notice in the north of England, and who was supposed to be the celebrated Captain Bar clay, last week paid a visit to Dumfries, but no more like the Captain than Criffel is like Mount Caucasus. In his person this man is rather dimi nutive, and nothing but the circumstance of his wearing a frilled shirt, and being dressed shabby genteel, could have given rise to that delusion which draws hundreds around him wherever he goes. His singing. too is completely in the fal setto style, and is occasionally interspersed with recitations, delivered in a manner which confirms our suspicions that he is neither more nor less than a poor strolling player, who, finding himself out at elbows, has fallen upon this novel mode of raising the wind. Yet strange to say, rich and poor, gentle and simple, young and rushed to their doors or to the streets to listen to the unskilful performance of a strolling musician, who," if not Captain BARCLAY," they all took to be " at least a gentleman in disguise;" and every time the hat went round, sixpences and shillings as well as coppers were plentifully dropped into it !—(Dumfries Courier.) It has been erroneously stated that the three men who were convicted at the Middlesex Ses sions, on Saturday, for extortion, were on the Marlborough-street Police-office establishment. They were street-keepers, and had nothing to do with the office. LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD THIS %VEEK.
