THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE 310RNING PAPERS, October 10. [THE TIMES.] YELLOW Fma.—Ex tract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, at Gibraltar, dated Sept. 6 :- " The Superb, Murdock, and the Auspicious, Drowett, have arrived here from Malaga. They were mitered away from thence in consequence of a man having died on board of each eti the 2d inst., with symptoms of the yellow feier. The Superb came in yesterday, and had one man sick on board, who died last night. The Auspicious was visited this morning, and vies found to have one man sick. The former sailed this morn ing at . 10 o'clock, and the latter is now (3 p. ni.) going out; both I believe, proceeding to England ! I" The vessels above.amentioned have now arrived —the Superb in the Clyde, and the AuspiciouS at the port of Bristol. Is the Council Board, we ask, sufficiently awake to the circumstances under which these vessels have reached the English shores ? If not, they can neither plead ignorance nor deny a gross neglect of duty. Our informa tion is, certainly not that the laws of quarantine are wholly neglected, but we have reason to fear that the same lax system is still pursued, and that no orders have been transmitted for the exercise of any increase of vigilance on ac count of the augmented danger. We learn that the Superb has been ordered to the quarantine ground in the Clyde, but we have heard nume roas instances of crews being permitted, in such cases, to go on shore occasionally, or to receive visits from the adjoining population ; some assurance, therefore, ought to be given,where undoubted dan ger impends, that the law will not in this instance also be transgressed,and that the entire absence of all contagion may bi.ascertained beforecommunica tion is permitted. From Bristol we have no ac counts of any precautions being used with regard to the crew of the Auspicious, the arrival being simply notified in the usual manner without the slightest comment. Whatever has been the course adopted, the public at large, but more especially the mercantile world s . have a right to know it. A third case has been mentioned to us, in which the law has been relaxed, and un der very suspicious circumstances. We must be understood, however, not to give our own au thority for the statement, and shall be happy, if incorrect, to contradict it. We refer to the ar rival of a vessel, called the Prince Regent at Dartmouth. This vessel is last from Malaga, where she underwent an inspection by the Board of Health of that place, and, being declared to have the yellow fever on board, was ordered to Mahon to perform quaran-1 tine. Instead of compliance with this order, she came direct to England. On reaching Dartmouth she was placed under quarantine, but within two days afterwards, just time sufficient to allow the return of the post from London, an order for her release was transmitted from the Council-office,'and free Communication took place of course, as ,if the east of Spain had been a coun try quite free from contagion. It is obviously our purpose, by the above statement of facts, which have every claim to serious attention, to remove the causes of public alarm on a subject the most terrible that can agitate the mind of man, by - a timely incitement to the use of such precautions as may avert from this coun try a disease which" has swept away thousands on the spot where it rages, and has desolated and depopulated the finest portion of one of the finest regions in Europe. The parental and incessant vigilance of the French Government on the Spanish frontier ought to rouse our own from its apparent sleep, unless it may be thought a piece of justifiable policy to expose England to the " preventive check" of pestilence, last those of war and occasional want of food should fail suf ficiently to reduce her numbers. [MORNING POST.] All is still doubt, apprehension, or hope, as in terest or sympathy prevails, with respect to the 'great question of war between Russia and Turkey. Meanwhile the Greeks, though left to them selves, seem evidently to be gaining ground.— It is now admitted on all sides, that they possess a decided superiority at sea ; not, indeed, in size of ships and weight of metal, but in the number of their vessels, and above all in the skill and bravery of their seamen.— They have now established over .the Turks, who never were fond of the sea, that kind of tacit superiority which the exploits of our navy gained during the last war over every nation with whom we had to contend, and which, overawing the spirits of an opponent before the fight com nlences, delivers him half-conquered into the hands of his enemy. This is evident from the reluctance which the Ottoman fleets have be trayed to engage. They have boastingly gone forth to seek and exterminate the Greek flotillas; but no sooner have they come in sight of their comparatively puny foes, than they have taken flight and run for.shelter into every harbour they could find. Reduced by their own cowardice to the defensive, they have not even known how to defend themselves effectually. Some of their largest vessels have been burnt, most of the trans ports which they convoyed destroyed, and they have alMost deemed it a triumph to be able to bring back the wrecks of a mighty armament to a place of safety. Such has been the naval career of the Turks since the breaking out of the Greek in surrection. By, land they have been more suc cessful, where division and treachery prepared the way for the admission of their overpower ing numbers... But where union and real pa-' triotism prevailed, they have not been able to maintain their ground. Partial advantages have no doubt attended their arms, but those only served to show the strength and consistency which the Greek insurrection had acquired. For had it been as weak and helpless as the friends. to Turkish domination would endeavour to per suade the world that it is, it would neither have had it in its power to risk the engagements which it has lost, nor having lost them, to recruit itself' so as to stop and even to repel its conquerors.' That this has been the case is evident from the relative positions of the Belligerents. The Penin sula of Mount Athos has teen cleared of its in vaders. The whole of the Peloponnesus is free. In other parts of Greece, the fortresses occupied by the Turks are now falling or stirrendering one after the other,, and unless the Porte should make some mighty exertion,-bf which it isdiffi cult to believe it capable Under present circum stances, _well-founded hopes may be entertained by all who feel an interest in the triumph of Jus tice and Christianity j that Greece, single-handed and abandoned, if not opposed by the Christian Powers of Europe, will he able to accomplish her own salvation, and td establish her inder pendence. [NEW TIMES.] We are sorry to see that The Morning Chro nicle, on occasion of our comparing its pages with those of John Bull, has lost both its temper and its judgment. Instead of fairly meeting the question at issue, it pretends to regard the matter as one involving the personal character of its own Proprietor : and very unnecessarily cites as evi dence to that character, the Parliamentary speeches of Sir James Mackintosh and Mr. Can ning. Far be it from us to question the personal respectability of the Gentleman alluded to ! We belicfie it to be unimpeachable, and we certainly have never entertained the most distant idea of impeaching it. But what is this to the pur pose ? For any thing that we know, he may not have written a line in The Morning Chronicle for the last ten years ; and indeed we have lately heard, with sincere regret, that his health does not admit of any close attention to literary pursuits. Be this as it may, his private worth (which we have never questioned) is surely not to preclude us from a fair examination of what appears in a public Journal; and the more likely that Journal is to influence public opinion, the more imperiously does our duty call upon us to make such an examination.—The question from which the Chronicle shrinks is, whether its own personalities are more or less reprehensible than those of John Bull y This is a plain question of fact; and it is not to be answered by vapouring protestations on one side or the other. Instead of railing at John Bull, calling him " a merciless and cowardly slanderer," and so forth, let the Chronicle fairly contrast his own paragraphs with John's, and show to demonstration (if he can) that the former are merely playful " satire" and sportive " raillery," while_ the latter are a tissue of hateful " detraction" and " slander." 'When he has done that, and not till then, he will have a right to hold his head as high as he affects to do above the weekly culprit ; but at present his hauteur only reminds us of the highwayman who ordered the chimneysweep to stand further from him, when they were both brought out to under go the last sentence of the law. [BRITISH PRESS.] Although, in the last correspondence with Sir Robert Wilson, (see our fourth page), the Duke of York appears merely in his military character, as Commander-in-Chief, we must not forget that he is the first Commissioner in the list of persons to whom the King, on his departure for Hanover, thought fit to delegate his powers. His answer, therefore, may be considered as the final answer of the Executive. The severity of Sir Robert Wilson's case is so clearly stated in his letter, we can add nothing to enforce it, and little remains but to express our surprise and regret for his fate. To punish a man without charge or trial is so re volting to British feeling and every principle of British justice, the Treasury scribes on the first opening of the business justified the refusal of a trial, upon the alledged ground that as an officer on half-pay he was not amenable to military law ; but, Sir Robert Wilson in his answer contends that before his dismissal he was so sub ject, and that if any objection now exists he is ready to waive it; so that the justification at tempted is of no avail. The whole argument, therefore, resolves itself into the sic veto sic jubeo. 'Fhe die is cast; there can be no revision of the sentence. The case having been decided once, his Royal Highness says, " he does not consider himself warranted in takinr , any further steps."— Like the laws of the Medes and Persians, it is immutable and irrevocable. An innocent man may be suffering a severe punishment, but this is not to excite any feeling of regret or remorse.— While the King in Council can sit in deliberation upon the case of every capital convict of the Old Bailey, the cause of Sir Robert 'Wilson is not held worthy of reconsideration. It would be only so much time thrown away upon and his long series of splendid and meritorious service in his profession, instead of enlisting kindness and favour on his side, h converted into the means of punishment. In no other line of life could the property expended by Sir Robert Wil son in the army have been confiscated at the will and pleasure of Ministers. " Oh ! it is excellent To have a giant's strength" But we hope we shall ne ver again see a giant's strength exercised in this way. The means of vindicating his character being thus refused by Government, Sir Robert Wilson can only look for redress to the country and the House of Com mons. The one has it in its power to make him compensation for his pecuniary loss, and a vote of the other may heal his wounded feelings. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We lay before our readers a second corres pondence between Sir Robert Wilson and his Royal Highness the Duke of York, which took place immediately after the arrival of the former in England. This demand for information re specting the charges against him, and for a rigor ous investigation into every part of his conduct, has been met by a refusal, on the part of his Royal Highness, to take any further step. If this is not arbitrary we know not what is so.— If the pittance enjoyed by this Gallant Officer were merely a consideration for his distin guished services during thirty years, tr:, deprive him of it, without even condescending to tell him why, would be a piece of gross injustice ; but when it is considered that it was pur chased by no less a sum than 5,0001. which is lost to him and his family for ever, it is impossible ,to speak of the measure in terms of sufficient repro bation, Sir Robert might well, in speaking of the chargeS, use the words, if they exist at all. We have every reason for believing that tliese charges are yet - to seek. Ft is evident, from what has already - appeared our columns, that much industry was at o,►e time fruitlessly employed in an endeavour to find them. But under the new system, the non , exhibition of diarges renders' their existence a matter of no - importance ;. and as no reason need, be assigned for a determination, it is evidently not necessary that_ there should be any reason.

CITY BUSINESS.—A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday at Guildhall, for the general dispatch of public business.--The Inquest of the Ward of Bishopsgate attended, and made a presentment of sundry persons car rying on trade without being free of the city. —The inquest of Castle Baynard Ward also made a presentment of a nuisance, which was referred to the Alderman of the Ward, to give such directions as he should think fit.—A petition was presented from sundry freemen, complaining of the violation of their privileges,. by non-free men being employed.—A petition from the coal whippers in the port of London, in respect of va rious grievances, was presented, and the parties were heard.—The Court then proceeded to con sider the petition of the ship-owners of Newcastle and Sunderland for a reduction of the wages of the coal-whippers, when all parties were heard, and the further consideration thereof adjou rued.— The usual precepts for Lord Mayor's Day next, and the usual orders for the procession on that day, were ordered to be issued.—Several bills were ordered for payment. INSULTS TO THE MILITARY.—Monday after noon, the Tower Hamlets Militia were exercised in a field opposite the Episcopal Chapel, Cam bridge-heath. During their evolutions, sentinels were stationed to keep the ground clear ; in doing which, the soldiers were frequently, insulte'd by the observations of a set of ruffians and bullock hunters, who had assembled apparently for the purpose. At length one of the fellows assaulted a soldier by throwing tufts of grass at him, and using gross language, in which he was encouraged by his associates. The soldier evinced great for bearance, until he found himself thus unwar rantably attacked, whc:n he dashed into the crowd and seized the aggressor ; he then forced him within the line of sentinels, when a struggle en sued and both went down, the mob still encou raging their companion. The fellow extricated himself, and again mixed in the crowd ; just at the lime the Officers perceived the insult, and came to the soldier's assistance. Captain CLARK immediately searched for the fellow among the crowd, but was unsuccessful in discovering him; however, a person that witnessed the insult, gave the Captain his address, who promised to have the fellow before the Magistrates at Worship street, if he could secure him. A pig, belonging to a person near Launceston, was lately missed, and, after a diligent search made for it, the 'owner sup posed it had been stolen. At the expiration of nine days the animal was found lying on . its back in the puddle at the bottom of a deep ditch into which it appears it bad fallen, and from which it was unable to extricate itself. When found, it was covered with swarms of files, and appeared to be exhausted by hunger and the torture inflicted by the myriads of insects that covered it ; however, in half an hour after it was extricated, it took food, was able to walk home, and is likely to recover.— (West Briton.) Tuesday. week, a Custom-house officer in Dundee thrust his hand into a box which hesup posed contained some smuggled goods ; but to his great dismay the box contained a hawk, which seized him by the finger till the blood sprang. DEATH V. DEATH.—An extraordinary fatality has lately attended a family residing in the neighbourhood of London, of the name of Death. Mrs. DEATH died at the commencement of the present year, and, in a - few months after, Mr. DEATH followed. In the course of eighteen months, seven Deaths have taken place in the same house BERMUDA, The little island of Bermuda is involved in the very " tempest, torrent, and whirlwind" of con tention, between the Governors and the governed, between the Legislature and- the inhabitants of the Colony. Papers from thence were received yesterday to the 23d of August. The arbitrary imprisonment of the Churchwardens and the Mayor'of Hamilton—the former for want of suf ficient promptness in adjusting their accounts with the Rector, and the latter for an alleged stretch of power in the mode of suppressing some disorderly assemblages of the people of colour— have been mentioned by the American Papers with some expressions of surprise at the conduct of Governor Lumley. The following account of the case of Mr. Till, the Mayor, and that of a apt. Hayward, who assisted in the suppression of the disorderly conduct alluded to, is taken from the Bermudian of 61 - . e Ist of August, divest ed, however, of much angry comment interspers ed by the Editor : " A complaint on the transaction was preferred before the Justices of the Peace, who dismissed it, as not cognizable be fore them, inasmuch as Mr. Till was exercising the preroga tives of his office. The complainant, instead of appealing to a juridical Court, brought the matter before the Governor in per son, who accordingly issued a general warrant for citing Mr. Till and Capt. Hayward before him. • Believing a warrant of this nature to be illegal, they declined obedience to its tnapdate. Order was given to the constables to execute it, and the Mayor shut himself up in the Town-hall and refuied to surrender.' The hall was in consequence invested by 40 or 50 soldiers ; they did not, however, force admittance, and the Mayor re mained all night in a state of siege. Some insulting languari passed between the populace and the military during the time the latter were engaged in this. singular duty, but it led to no tumult or mischief. Between nine and ten o'clock the follow ing morning, the Mayor. thought proper •to surrender himself, and was conveyed to prison, having first, through the medium of a friend, obtained an authenticated copy of the warrant." These are the facts attendant on the imprison ment of the Mayor : we have before given those relating to the Churchwardens. Both parties remained under confinement at the date of the present advices, and strict orders were issued by the Governor to prevent all communication with them, without 14 ritten authority from the Pro vost or Magistrates. Great indignation is ex pressed on the subject by all classes of inhabi tants in the Colony, and prosecution for perjury of those who have given, as it is alleged, false testimony respecting the transaction's in question, and appeals to the Parliament of Great Britain, are currently talked of. The journals of the island of Bermuda, which, whatever may be the case with the inhabitants, appear to be free from all control, comment in the strongest language on these transactions. We quote two specimens from the Bermudian of the Ist of August : " The Churchwardens of St. George have now been impri soned 15 days for doing their duty, by an edict of his Excellency Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Sir Wm. Lumley, K.C.B. • their wives indisposed part of the time, and one of their families labouring under great-domestic affliction. When a representation of this circumstance is made to his Britannic Majesty, we hope redress will be the consequence ; _and though this conduct is supported by every dirty jack in office, the sense of the country is uni formly against rt. But when we see men sprung from the very clregs of society endeavouring to palm their ignorant dogmas on their superiors, and aspiring to rank with those whose shoes they are only fit to clean, it is high time to turn with contempt, and bid them recollect their pristine ignorance, degradation, and servility, and not with matchless intrepidity of face' mimic and place themselves by the side of their superiors." The following, which quotes a precedent to show the consequences that may attend the con duct of the Governor, is from the same Paper:— " Has his Excellency ever by chance heard ofa circumstance which took place not many years ago at Halifax ? if not, we can inform him. Sir Andrew Mitchell,' the then naval ! Com mander-in-Chief, having reason to suspect that some deserters from his Majesty's ships had taken refuge in the stores of Messrs. Forsyth; Smith . , and Co. for a few hours, caused the same to be blockaded by an armed force, for which outrage the Admiral was prosecuted in England, and had to pay 15,0001. damages and expences. The Attorney-General of Nova Sco tia is said to have addressed the Admiral in the following terms upon that occasion': —' For God's sake, 'Sir Andrew, withdraw your men immediately, for it may be one of the worst day's work you have ever done.' Let it here be said, if ever there was an excuse for trampling upon the laws of his country, Sir Andrew Mitchell had that excuse, for desertion had, at the time to which we allude, made gigantic strides towards the destruction of our navy. The occurrences, however, of last evening admit not of the slightest palliation : they are of the blackest, deepest die ; and let us hope for the honour of this colony, if our Attorney- General had been consulted, he would have given his Excellency a warning similar to that we have mentioned in the case of Sir A. Mitchell. Besides all this, his Excellency has forgot that Mr. Till is entitled to privilege of Parliament, which was de cided here in the case of the Speaker, who was released on that ground, during the administration of General Hodson: We have no doubt that several actions for perjury will be 'brought against morn than one individual, and we hope that the Court of King's Bench will visit this heinous offence with adequate punishment."—('TlE Tituns.) FIRE AT. HALIF.A.X. [Further Particulars." HALIFAX ' SEPT. 17.—1 n this dreadful conflagration, twenty-one houses were consumed, with other valuable pro perty. Some buildings were scorched, and nearly every pane of glass in the fro it of the residence of S. B. Robie, Esq. was de stroyed by tle excessive heat of the fire. Of the property burnt only about 15001. were insured, and the calamity has mostly fallen where it will long be severely felt—upon widows and orphan chil dren—upon inestriouS tradesmen, whose whole stock of word'', wealth was invested in the tenements they occupied. We cannot particularize the sufferers. To the trOops, and the seamen of the ships of war, the town is, as usual, greatly indebted for the ex ertions made by them ; amonq the most active on this distress ing occasion, we noticed his Excellency" the Lieutenant-Gover nor, encouraging and exciting, by his influence and example, the efforts of every person within his view. Sir Robert be Poer Trench, Colonel of the Seventy-fourth Regiment, who arrived here on Friday from 'New Brunswick, Colonel Mackie, the Commandant of the Garrison, Colonel Gaunt lett, Lieut.. Colonels Arnold, Mt:nines and 'Waterhouse, Major Crawford, and indeed every Officer of the Garrison and Military Departments were distinguished for their activity and exertions. To Captains Fanshawe, Bouchier, Collier, and Napier, and the Officers of their ships, every praise is due. They directed the efforts of the seamen in the most advantageous manner. We must hete particularly . notice the intrepid conduct of Captain Napier. We observed him on the roof of one-of the houses, directing and working with a party of axe-men,- and rendering very important services. FlRE.—About half-past nine o'clock yester day morning, a fire, attended with a most dis tressing accident, occurred at the house of - I\lr. Smirru, biscuit-baker, Turuback-street, Commer cial-road. It originated in the apartment of a female lodger in the second floor, who, having gone out, left her two children, one aged four, and the other two years old, by themselves in the room. Before the fire could be extinguished the house was nearly all destroyed ; the elder child, by the exertions of Jackson, the beadle, was rescued from experiencing a horrid death, but we are sorry to add that the other perished in the flames. POLICE INTELIAGENCK. MAN'.ioN-HousE.—Yesterday a fellow,- who is known bi the name of Bose 6MI T tt, was brought before the Lord Mayor on a charge of having committed •a violent and outrageous assault on a lad named Campbell. Onlonday, several street- - robbers who infest the neighbourhood-Of -Bishopsgate were fully committed for trial, on chargeS .of hig.qiway raberi, and amongst other persons, the -complainant. Campbell, who lives in Angel-alley, gave evidence against. them, - for which his life has been constantly threatened, nor can he'venture froth his door without being maltreated. - -He staked, that he has. been several times beaten with great severity, and he • charged the prisoner with havingset. upon him, at night and beaten him most urunercifully. The - complainant's mother had also been constantly assailed' on the same account.—The Loup MAYoa strongly animad':erted on the case, and said, that those who presumed in any way to annoy the who did their duty by giving evidence, would-meet with punishment so se vere from the City Magistrates as would convince them of the folly of setting themselves against the laW. ni - s Lordship or dered the prisoner to find bail, to answer ;or the outrage at the Sessions, and in default ke was conunitted - to prison. His Lordship ordered the City Solicitor to prosecute, and bound - over the complainant to give evidence. Bow ST REET.—BE NJAIIiy BLOomriELD, the individual charged with having defrauded Mr. Shearley, under the pre" tence of procuring him a situation in a Public Office, was brought up for re-examination,when two other gentlemen made similar charges against him. At the request of Mr. Adolphus , the prisoner's counsel, further examination- was postponed to the I9th instant. - THAMES POLlCE.—Yesterday Jon N MuRRAY, shoe" maker, charged with attempting to murder his wife, was re examined at this Office. It appeared that the -origin was quarrel occasioned by the wife coming home in liquor last turday, when Muiray knocked her down trainp/ed zrpoil her , and wounded her in several ' places with oI his work ) * knives. The dissolution of his victim being hoililtdipprehaildAl , he was remanded for' examination on a future day. • 11141.11Y-LE-BONE. OFFIOE.—An accomplished anil interest.- ing girl, rumoured to be nearly related to a. 'NoblaYl2.l l 7 yesterday committed for stealing property beior„ging to a for lady who lodged in the same house. • licing (ro.c• it, she confessed her offence. On taking this ili-fat. - 2d gtrliNi n the bar she burst into tears, and had become o i utu,•. frautit; locked up. BOXING. In the absence of pugilistic talent in .3110 men, composir 4 what is called the London, Ring ' the countrymen seem dete r ; mined to have a rivalship. The battle we are about to recor" fought at eight o'clock yesterday morning, on Heasley M 0 .% a few miles from Hartford-bridge, Hants, between two men, f i ' 1 more than 12 stone each, was at least one which would bag given our heavy-weight CHINAME N a specimen of courage "" to be looked at. 'f he men for the day's diversion were, Georg' Granger, a Somersetshiremau, who had wolf some battle and Franklin, the Nottinghamshire HAMMER man, who bad well cleared his way. He was backed at Newark by a courA" try gentleman to fight this match for FIFTY under the trai n ," ing of a celebrated cricketer, n ea r B as in gs t o k e . Th e bawl° was an obstinate one of 35 minutes, and more manhood neo s was displayed. In the first round there were some severe exchanges of round and half-round hits; but at length the smith received. heall' , with a right-handed facer, between the left eye and the oar , which dropped his head on one side and FLOORED him. 2. The smith made the play, and took a decisive lead V hammering away. - "After many exchanges to his advantage, he hit his- advershry down by an overhanded blow upon hri for e " head, which set his NOB singing dreary songs. 3. Both had worked hard, and after some awkward sparrl at BELLOWS A/ENDING, they turned to again at the gice,r_, take system for seven minutes, until both were hit near ly blitw e a The claret flew- as if from the surgeon's l a n ce ; b u t un disniaL, they maintained the round ten minutes, when G ra n ge r gao adversary a knowing cross buttock. Until the 7th round the men were too much worn out toW gin again, and hugging was the order of the fight. 8. Both as game as the Norwich Bull. Lik e hi s ovr?-- uents the BUFFERS, they hit each other to a stand still, refusi n g ‘. go down, but the Smith was at length dropp e d u p on his fa" PI • a hit in the wind, which spoiled him. He fought the 9th and 10th rounds manfully, but on . • being called for the llth, he was deaf to it, and Granger Wa i declared the winner with loud acclamations.
