THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS, September 29. [BRITISH PRESS.] The King, we - understand, means to return to ngland about the time of the opening of Parlia .ment, which stands at present prorogued to the 9tl - 1 of November. He goes direct to Hanover, and probably will not extend his journey beyond ' .that kingdom during•his absence:. It was not his, intention at -his departure to visit Paris on his :return. Considerable alterations have already commenced at St. James's and Carlton Palaces; upon a plan for some time under consideration. The fine suite of rooms in the former are under repair, and the apartments in that Palace hitherto occupied by Ladies of the late Queen Charlotte's establishment, are .to be fitted up for reception rooms, and other places of accommodation on .public days as it is Majesty's intention there - .to- hold his Court. Of -.these Ladies, two, I -viz. Miss Brudenell and Miss Vernon, have resided there upwards of fifty years, and one, Aliss 'Coleman, thirty years. They have re ceived notice to quit in two months, and we do not learn that other apartments have been pro . vided for them. Of Carlton Palace the founda tion has been. considered for some time defective, in consequence of having -been laid on a soft and sandy soil, and upon a recent survey the-roof has been also pronounced unsafe. Some means will therefore be adopted to strengthen and secure the former-; a new roof will be substituted for the present one, and the edifice, it is said, will be raised another story. This last improve : ment is become necessary in consequence Of the elevated buildings in front, in_ Regent street, which give the Palace a depressed ap pearance. These alterations being upon an : extensive scale, and requiring considerable time . for their completion, the . King on his r.e -• turn will make BuckingitamPalace,in St.James's -.Park, his town residence. It is now in a perfect state for his reception. Froth ,the convenience, beauty, and capabilities of the place, it. isnot im probable that his Majesty may become so at tached to it as to make it his permanent abode when in London. In this event, Carlton Palace would be probably assigned for the accommoda tion of some of the branches of the Royal Family. H E TIMES.] A reduction in the establishment of the Bank of England - is announced as about to be adopted., We recommend to notice the principles on which 1 this measure is to be grounded—the equity and humanity which they are calculated to combine with regulations of effectual economy. Nor are the means to be overlooked by which the Bank of England is thus enabled to do what all em ployer's of human talent and industry ought to do—namely, make provision for the contingency of old age or misfortune affecting those whose services, while they are able to work, have been faithfully rendered to their masters. For the details of this reduction we refer to another co lumn. _ It will be seen that in the proposed ar rangement for the clerks, there is no penury, no pretence, no jobbing ; all the dismissed clerks are to receive annuities from the hour of their diimissal ; and all are to have the option of taking the annuity, or the value of it in money. It will be said that the establishments of the Government are too extensive to admit -of such liberality to its discarded servants ; that is what the country complains of ; the Mi nisterial establishments are too large for the means of the State. It is for that reason that Ministers cannot act fairly towards the pub lic officers : because they are wasteful, they cannot be just. If the finances of the Bank of England were overloaded with sinecures, and preyed upon by the vermin of corruption, could that great body afford to provide so liberally for those whom it no longer continues in its daily. service ? Nor is the Bank less wise than boun tiful : the f.tir prospect of a future maintenance" secures their servants.from the appetite for fraud and depredation. While he who knows that-he may be dismissed by the same Caprice which has appointed him, and that he will 'or may be left destitute of what the humanity of his masters ought to provide for him, must be tempted to plunder while in office, that he may not starve when turned out. DIORNING POST.] German Papers arrived yesterday to the 23d inst. They have brought most contradictory accounts . of the operations carried on by the Greeks and Turks in the vicinity of Salonichi and in the Peninsula of Mount Athos. According to corn mercial letters, the Greeks have been totally defeated and driven to the extremity of the Peninsula, after witnessing the conflagration of thirty of their villages by the triumphant enemy. According to communications of a dif ferent nature, and of a much later date, from Semlin, the Greeks under the command of Alex ander Stagirite, and to the number of 20,000 men, had advanced to the relief of the Perlin wla, and totally defeated the Paella of Saloni thi, who had assembled his whole force at Cas sandra to meet them. A corps of 400 Jews, who fought as volunteers in the Turkish army, had been taken by the Greeks and treated with great barbarity, in consequence of the treachery and cruelty displayed by the former towards the Hellenists, whenever an opportunity occurred of betraying them to their oppressors, or inflicting torture upon them.. However contradictory these accounts may seem, the difference of dates_ affords a clue to reconcile them. It is pos sible that the Turks may have made some progress in the conquest of the Peninsula of Mount Athos about the end of July ; and it appears equally probable that that progress may have been checked, and their army routed or destroyed in August, by a force advancing in their rear. The approach of such a force must have necessarily compelled them to abandon their enterprise, and to turn round in or. der to endeavour to secure a retreat. In the course of. the attempt they would' find themselves placed between two fires . ; and " the Greeks aie fco attire not to lake advantage of such a posi tion on the part of- their enemy. %%'e therefore entertain little doubt of the triumph gained by the Hellenists, though it§ magnitude may have been exaggerated. • [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The organ of the Bridge-street Gang alluded yesterday with great complacency to the success of the Attacks directed by that '.‘-annoying paper, John Bull," against Mr. SheriffWaithman. We see from this, that the fate of the Supporters of The Beacon, has only served to - stimulate - . the admirers of John Bull to more zealous encourage ment. The impunity which its-supporters have enjoyed, notwithstanding all that the public respecting them (for the.- leading writers have long been known,though the matter cannot legally' be brought home to them), has no doubt served greatly to embolden the parties. Indeed, the' restraining a Tory Journal- -from having re course to the foulest calumnies'. against his oppo nents, from indulging. in the grossest,personal at tacks, 'from dragging their private concerns before the public, is considered. by the Bridge-gtreet As sociation, according to the exposition of theirdoc trines by Cato, as excluding him from the coarse in which he'."may fairly and legally travel."— Without applying the caustic, or" throwitig a blaze over the `dark and wretched lives of his antago nists," a Tory Journaligt, it is said, can only write what he must know would be perfectly unavailing." Such a blaze was 'thrown by' The . Beacon (the fires of which, though no longer supplied with fuel by the Lord Advocate and. Sir Walter Scott, still continue to . bUrn with un abated' vigour) over the lives of the opponents of the -Tories in the northern capital; 'and such a blare is thrown from, this metropolis over all England. All things are -permitted to the To ries ; for them there is...no such thing as licen tiousness of the Press; -they may use it .is an engine of assassination, while, by the aid of spies and informers, and the packing of Juries (as. in a recent trial), they may ruin and de stroy all who have 'recourse to it as a means of opposing them. The extent in which Mi nisters,, are implicated by the bond of the Lord Advocate, to support a notoriously libellous. and calumnious Jok-nal, may, not be generally understood in England; where the office of Lord Advocate is often . ilti c fottlicbtiCiiith that of .4t torney-General. The Lora Advocate of Scot land possesses the 'most extensive powers. He not only unites in .his person the functions of Prosecutor and J . Orand ury (for in Scotland there is no Grand Jury), but he is the Repre sentative of Government. and in that character can issue the most important orders. The peace and security of the cuuntry - is in fact entrusted to his care, and in case of rebellion or disturb ance, the military 'commanders are bound to con sult with him. We have heard these posiers -pompously displayt,d in the. House of Commons, when an English, - . Member has ventured, in his ignorance of fliem; to Fesume to yttestion the propriety of acts which in England.would, have been accounted highly arbitrary and illegal. LEI.T: T 1 Art YS-3. We have, elsewhere _noticed the absurd asser- tion of The Times., tt! . at &elate trial of Rid-gway, at Lancaster, was in:Stiluted - by - the Constitutional Association, out of -revenge, for their not having obtained a verdict of : aulltv agaipst _Mary , Anne Carlile. But in truth tfie absurdity of this state ment is its slightest rmx-th fault. There is in the whole . , paragraph such a re of snameless effrontery, low malignity, and open contempt for all - princi. pie, that our - duty calls neon us to give it a dis tinct and particular examination. The paragraph to which we allude is as foilows:— " The Gang have played off another manoeuvre. They had on the 24th of. July brought, -- Mary Anne Carlile to trial at Guildhall; for some paSsageS in " Carlile's New Year's Ad dress to the Reformers and the Jury "iefused to find her guilty : What, then, was their next step ?" They sent down one of their emissaries above - 200 miles, to Lancashire; that, since even Carlile had proved too many for them among thir own neighbours, they might take revenge on some poor, ignorant creature in _the country by first seducing him to write up to town for one of Carlile's works, and then prosecuting him, the country - man, for selling the work to.their agent, one would require some ingenuity •to pack into so small a number of lines a greater number . of palpable falsehoods.-1. It is alleged, that the primary motive toward 'any proceeding whatever relative to Ridgway, was_ reVenge, on the part of the-. Association, for a failure sustained by them on the 24th of July. Now, turn to the Report of Ridgway's trial,. in The Times itself. The offence for which he was-indicted was com mitted on the 6th of April It is alleged, that subsequently to the '24th of July, the Association sent down one of their emissa ries, above two hundred miles, into Lanca shire, for . the . purpose. of setting on foot this prosecution. Turn again to the Re port of the trial:—Melldr is a clerk to Mr. Nadir), the Solicitor,' residing at Manchester ; he was employed by - his master On' the 27th of March, to purchase the. pamphlet in question, with a view to prosecution ; and he never saw Mr. Murray, the Solicitor to the Association, until Thursday, the 13th of September, when the latter passed through Manchester, on his way to attend the trial at Lancaster.-3. It is alleged, that Ridgway was 44 a poor ignorant creature" reluctant to transgress by the sale of a libel, or ignorant of the nature of that which he was teazed to procure." And that he was "seduced " into the. offence by Mellor, who " called four times at Ridgway's shop, to importune him for the publication in question."—The evidence proves that Mellor, the alleged seducer, is a lad of 18, who having seen s' a printed paper pasted up on Ridgway's window- - -Just published, an Address to the Reformers of Great Britain," told his master of this circumstance—that his master thereupon sent him to ask for. the " New Year's. Address," a work by the same author as " The Address," and in the same style—that Ridgway immediately promised to let him have the " New Year's Address," saying, " I am writing this evening, and shall have it by the latter end of the week"--that Mellor's subse quent calls were not to persuade ItidgWay,to the work, but merely to know whether it had arrived' as expected—that on one of those occa 'sions, Ridgway, speaking of the " New - Year's 'Address," said, " 4 had some "before you came . . the first time; but I sold them all;"—that for bought both the -Address . and the New Year's Address; that Ridgm ay " shelved him Hunt's Life and other political works;" particn larlr The Right Divine of Kings t Govern Wrong (one' of the pnblications of the in famous lione); that Ridgway " read several passages" of this last execrable performance to the lad " by way of explaining to him those parts which referred to the pictures on the back of it ;" and that he " recommended it to Mellor, as being as good a thing as he ever reild." Most clearly, therefore, this old and expe, rienced trafficker in sedition was the sethicer and not the seduced: he used his best endeavours to corrupt the mind of a young man just entering into life, to captivate his imagination by Hone's . infamous caricatures, and to strengthen the poi son by his own explanatory comment. We have thus plainly contrasted the faCts as they appear, even in the garbled report of The Times, with the assertions in the leading article, in order that we may, if possible, render some of the besotted admirers of that Journal ashamed of their cre dulity. 'What can they•-think .of a writer, who with his own report open before him, can dare to insult his.rea.ders by so total a departure from the truth ? SCOTLAND. JUSTICIARY COURT, STIRLING, SEPT. 22. 'SEDUCTION OF ARTIFICERS TO LEAVE THE KINGDOM.I William Lee was put to the bal., accused of seducing arti ficers from, thiS country, principally engaged in the carpet manufactory, and, in particular, of having taken to the United States of America, James Mitchell, belonging to the establish , , ment of Robert illopson and Son, itlillfield dye-works. in Hutchestown of ,Glasgow, then a carpet-weaver in their employ, all which being contrary to the Statute of Geo. IL Mr. ROBERTSON, as Junior Counsel, stated for the Panel, - that James Mitchell should be brought from America, for the express purpose of proving that :the same speciei of manufac =ture had been carried on in New York, America, antecedently to the introduction of Nfr. Thompson's manufacture : and hav ing. been so recently indicted, a few weeks ago, it was impossible the Panel could be prepared to bring sufficient evidence in his behalf, and therefore pleaded for a delay in bringing this affair into Court. Mr. HOPE replied, arid contended that the Panel had got his indictment in proper time. - • Mr. COCKBURN replied, that a man had been tried about 70 years ago for a similar offence, by a private individual, and the law had been allowed to sleep ever since. He concluded by hoping their Lordships would allow time for the Panel to pre pare for his defence. ' Lord SuccoTH observed, that he should not give his opinion at Present - on the question, but proposed that it should be certi fied to the High Court.ofJustielary. • Lord GILLIES agreed with Lord Succoth, and the case was 'Ordered to be certified to the high Court of Justiciary, on the 19th - o£ November and ordered. the Panel to be taken to gaol, to be confined till that time. Mr. COCK B tur:4 observed, that it was hard to commit his client, while he was -present under a bail bond of 8001. His agent,, Mr. Michael Gilfillan, said he would be security, and led him out ofCourt. The Act•of•Parliament alluded to in this case, on conviction, awards a fine of liool., and imprisonment for the space of twelve calendar months. John Connor pleaded Guilty of housebreaking and theft; but the. indictment Was found irrelevant, and the prisoner was re committed on a new warrant. • SEQUESTRATION'S, EXAMINATIONS, DITIDENEIS, &C.

All the large ponds never before known to be dry are totally so. There are from three to four thousand cattle watered daily at Rio Bueno River-head, of which from driving five or six miles, and little grass, several die. The cane fields and coffee are suffering equally in propor , tion; but what is most alarming and to be deeply lamented is, that the provision-grounds are totally burned up, consequently, ere many weeks pass, the negroes must all he fed by their owners, or perish. Could his Excellency our Lieutenant- GoC'ernor witness what I have thus stated, and which I believe to he general, I am confident no stronger appeal could be made to his feelings, to induce him to open the ports for a foreign supply of dry provisions, otherwise we may certainly dread a famine." ROUTING OF A B tND OF SMUGGLERS.---The Excise of Crieff and its vicinity, with their cha rarteri,tic vigilance and assiduity for the sup pression of smuggling, haviug learned that that daring band of smuggler, denominated " The Stirling Band," were to go through the country, towards the south, in the prosecution of :.heir il legal traffic, determined, if possible, to seize the whole or part of them. The Excise accord ingly who went out, proceeded to different quarters, aided by a small party of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guard's, who are stationed in Crieff for this purpose ; and the Excise and Dra goons, who went to the bridge of Kinkel' suc ceeded, upon the morning of the 13th instant, in seizing three horses, with their burdens of smuggled whiskey. The riders made their es cape through the woods and plantations of Stmt. hallan, not being at all willing to come into con tact with,the Excise and Dragoons. Some of the smugglers, Onic struck, threw off their bur dens and fled for safety. The rest of the band, consisting of about seventeen, haying received notice of the catastrophe, either returned or made their escape by some other direction. The horses and agnavitae,. &c.. were brought into Geieff upon the forenoon of the 13th.—( Edin burgh Star.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE: GUILDFIAtL.—Ari information was yestetday heard before Mr. Alderman WOOD against the Captain of a merehant-ves - - sel, under the 34th of Geo. 111. cap. WI. for refusing to deliver, up to the majority of the owners • the ship's register.— The Captain of the Vessel was,not present, and was stated to be in the country ; but a'solieitor attended in his behalf, to resist the application for a warrant made by the solicitor-who laid the information. It was stated that the defendant is owner of five••• sixteenths of. the - vessel, and the other proprietors with td take it out of his hands. The case, however, was net fully entered into,'aS his solicitor' took an objection to the information, on which the application fora warrant was founded, in limine.— He ob(reetcd that it ought to have been tip= the oaths of the owners of the vessels. _ _ _ _ _ Alderman Wool) was fully :r.atisfied that it would be quite contrary to the words of the Act to take the information upon the oaths of any others than the majority of the owners of the vessel, and certainly he would not grant any warrant, but upon their oaths against the - defendant.- The information was, there fore, quashed. - Dow-STREET.—Yesterday, soon after the sitting Magis trate, GEonnE RownAND Mixsisunn, Esq.. had taken his seat, a gentleman, who had placed hirn4elf in the situation usu ally . allotted to witnesses, rose up, and stated his name IV Squire, of Langbourn Chambers, Fenchurch-street ; that he tilled in consequence of sa paragraph which had appeared in se veral of the papers, respecting an application made by a person dressed as a Quaker, on Thursday, andtroin the description giVen of his appearance and conduct, he had no doubt that it was a brother of his, who was insane, and that the object of his • application Was to request that he might be detained, if he should again appear at the office. Mr. Islissnum. remarked, that he recollected the circum stance perfectly well, but that •.he must be .made further ac quainted with the affair before he should feel himself authorised to detain him, if he should again make his appearance. • Mr. Squire then stated, that his brother was the proprietor of an extensive farm near ltvegate, Surrey, the Management of which he had superintended himself for many years.: About May last he was seized with-ari illness, which confintd him for a short time, and on his recovering his bodily health, it. we..l dis covered that his --intellects were affected ;'.he continued getting. worse for about a month, and it was then judged necessary by the physician who attended him to put him under restraint.— This measure seemed to have effected-a favourable change, and he was again released, in-the hope that the pursuit of his usual avocation would fully establish his care. - A short time back he absconded from Ryegate, since which his friends were unable to discover him until the present period. . They, however, as certained that he was the person - who had gained•some notoriety by . parading about London in the dress of a Quaker, wearing the national cockade, and distributing the works of Wooler, Hone, and others of a similar nature. • Mr. Mrivsziunn suggested, if, Mr. Squire had no objection to swear to the facts which he had stated, he should. feel no he sitation in causing him to be detained. • • • Mr. Squire readily acquiesced, and M. Minshull directed that he should be shewn into the Clerk's office, where his depo sition was taken accordingly, and to which he was afterwards sworn. Ile soon afterwards left the office, Mr. Minshull as suring him that he should have the earliest intimation if any • thing transpired. About three o'clock the eccentric Quaker was observed, wear ing his cockade, to pass up Bow-street on the opposite side of the way by Limbrick, who immediately reported it to Mr. Min shull, and he directed that he shouleebe brought in. Limbrick accordingly went over to him, and accosted him in the following manner Limbrick—l believe,iir, I took a letter for you to the Magis trate yesterday. • Quaker—Did you ; I don't recollect you. Lirnbrick—Do -you recollect sending me, Sir ? Quaker, after some hesitation—Yes I do. Limbrick—The Magistrate has directed me to acquaint you tnat he wishes to speak to you. Quaker (extending his right arm, and thrusting his face t • quite close to that of the oflietr's)—l will attend him were he ten times a Magistrate ; lead on. • Limbrick obeyed the injunction, and the Quaker following, he conducted him into a room appropriated for private exa minations, and he there delivered to Limbrick a similarearica , tore to the one he had sent enclosed to Mr. Minshull, on the , preceding day, and also a book entitled The Spirit of Despotism. He was then informed by Mr. Munshull, that he was detained .consequence of a representation'which had been made by his brother, who would be immediately sent to, and to whose care - he would be confided ; 'but that, in the mean time, he should be supplied with every convenience. lie- expressed great indignance, alleging that his brother had no right to exereise well power, and that force should only cons pel him to submit. Mr. Squire attended at seven o'clock in the evening, and kis - brother was delivered into his. care ; at his request the patrols- was ordered to remain with him during the night, as he wished to consult With 'his friends as to the future disposal of his brother. T../xios•-fiALL.- . --Henry Palmer, who stood charged by Sir ' Thomas Charnpneys with having - fraudulently obtained from him upwards of• 2,0001. in bills, came up. yesterday, with his bail, for a final examination. .114 r. ALLEY, as counsel for the 'prosecution, commenced the proceeding by calling Sir Tho Mas Chanatineys, whO proved, that none of his property had been - returned. He was cross , - examined by Mr. AnoLPHus, the defendant's. counsel, and stated that he had not received any watches frOm the defendant, and that there was not the least pretence for saying he had, nor had he received a sum of 1501:; he accepted one ~f the bills for 201. for the purpose of buying stamps., Mr. ALLDLthen addressed the Magistrates for the prosecu tion. The Learned Gentleman quoted many cases, which he contended all proved that Sir T. Champneys had never givon the defendant legal possession of the bills in question. He had only given the actual possession on a fraudulent representation made by thedefendant, and .the : loo , guineas which the defhnd. ant gave Sir T. C. on the first bill of 5001. must be considered as a part of thc•artifice by which he obtained the subsequent 1;500•I.; and if this should be the opinion of a Jury, there could be no doubt the defendant'sconduct-was a felony. • Mr. AIiOLPIIUS addressed the Bench for the defendant.— He said the defendant had - been in business for years on the Royal EXchange, and had never absconded for a moment. It ,was• admitted by Sir T. Champneys that lie gave the Defend aut..the bills for the purpose of getting them discotinted, and that 'he had received 100 guineas . on- account, and that 'one of them had been applied to the payrnent of stamps and expen ses ; and if • the defendant hatl•no other claims on the bills he was justified in holding them till these slims were repaid. Ile (Mr. Adolphus) said, he was also instruct d,, though it could not be now proved, that besides the 100 guineas Sir T.'Champ... neys admitted he had received from the defendant, he had also received 1501, and ten gold Watches value 301, each,. Sir T. Champneys indignantly denied having ever received; in any way, more than the 100 guineas ; and conceiving Mr. Adolphus 's statement an imputation on his veracity, warmly &dated he would not allow the Learned Gentleman to use language there which no man dared use outside the door. Mr. ADOLPHUS said he was obliged to meet Sir T. Champ neys there •in the discharge of This professional duty, but he ' I hoped he should nevermeet him any. where else. Mr. ALLEY l .•replied to . Mr. AdOlpits's Observations. - 'lle said he had no wish that the defendant should be committed to prison till the Assizes; he might be tried at the Session. It . was most untruly stated that it T. Champncys had received from defendant 3001;wOrth of watches; or any property of any kind except the 100 guirteas, and a : gentleman in Court who could prove that the'defendant had himself acknowledged, on the sth or September, that he never gave Sir T. Champneys any thing, but the one hundred guineas. Mr. ALLEN, the senior: Magistrate, desired Sir T. Muir nays to explain how he came to know that the bills were in 31i. Park's possession, and whether it was at his desire they had been given by the defendant to him. Sir T. Cbampneys stated, that . when the defendant called on him the second time - about the s - canteen, he said it was Mr. Park's property, , that he Ayes a man *hose billk would lass for 20,0001. and if Sir T. C. would go to the extent of 2;0001.- a ne gotiation might take place. This 14 to Mr.-Park's being in troduced tohim ; hut he positively declared that he had never taken property or money fromhim in any way. Sir I'. Champ nays proceeded to state other particulars of his transactions with .the parpes,, which, in the present stage of the proceedings, it might not be proper to lay before the public. After Sir T. Chainpneys had concliided his statement— Mr. Allen said, it appeared to him that a sufficient ease had been, made out to make it . prOner to send the defendant before a Jury for trial for a Misdemeanor, which might take place at the ensuing Session,.and in the mean time he might be out on bail. Some discussion took place.as to the amount of bail, which was finally fixed at 2;000L • D['►EADFUL ACClDENT.—Thursday evening, as the Victory steam-packet wag coming up to the Custom-house, a waterman put off from the Tower-stairs to bring passengers on shore, his boat was upset by two 'barges, and he got en= tangled With the wheel of the above packet, which, .shocking to relate, tore him to pieces. His body was picked up last morning at Horsley down in a'dreadful state. • CORONIRS' INQuurs'..
