THE LONDON JOettNAL'4. 7Z AILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPER,. July I'2. --.10...- - - - 11iORNP3G HERALD.] Yesterday Parliament was prorogued by Royal Comi)ission. The official Speech is very simple. 714 e -chief topics are the satisfaction of , his Ma jesty to find that the metallic currency has been restored with facility—and his - Majesty's deeply it4menting the distress of the .inte -refsts—zonchiding, with an assurance of strict atten tiorl to public economy, and a confidence of fur ther reclifctions, dependent upon the continuance A peace and tranquillity.—Thus has concluded oule of the most laborious Sessions witnessed for seine years back. It will he observed, by a letter from the Queen to Lord Sidmoath, in an other column, that tter Majesty has resolved to tJe ;;restnt at the Coronation. also that she has forfeited all titk to it a.E a fa vour. Still, however, Alderman Wood assures us that her Taic-sty, forgetful of what she owes to her rank and ,:cation, is determined to be pre sent at the Coronation ; and, indeed, no common observer can fail to discover an obvious COMIPC- tion between this threat and her Majesty's recent visits to the Minor Theatres, her appearance (how ever mortifying the circumstances) at Drury lane, on Tuesday evening; her appeal to the Privy Council ; and the general stir in search of popularity made during the last month. If there he any one who honestly Fuppozes that the intention of her Majesty in this respect is merely to gratify herself by beholding a splendid pageant, we should be led to respect his honesty far beyond his sagacity.—What may ha the effect of the actual execution of this threat, we are compelled to confess, we shrink from contemplating. A day that should be productive of gladness and rejoicing, may thus be converted into one of tumult and bloodshed. If panic or irritation be once produced in such a countless multitude as will then he assembled, the stoutest heart might well be appalled at the consequences. We must still however hope that the menaced mischief may be averted, and that her Majesty, if not for her own sake, for the sake of others, who may have bitter cause to rue the step, will be induced to desist from an enterprize so alarm ing, and a purpose every way so unworthy. r•o;v" TIMF 's* . l • 'vas the unanimous decision of the Privy' Ceavai•il, that her Majesty has no right do be re-ea led. This decision, after having been sub e‘i:ae,i, in the usual course, to the King f cr his Revel pleasure thereupon, was communicate-1 to. the Illustrious Claimant, and received by her, we trust, with that submission which is due to the >lgment of so high a Tribunal. The pre paeationa for the Coronation will consequently proceed without the necessity of any alteration the arrangements, and this day se'nnia,,,ht will e siitnaliaed - as,ageneral holiday throughout the Empirea - ‘-.o, , ery where," says a Provincial Pa per, " afe'aryations making for public demon saeatioos of:1 ppa 4,olty and attachment. It will be a day unicersal festivity : masters intend to treat their servants, and manufacturers their workmen ; and it is understood that all the shops will be dozed. At most places public subscriptions have Dees entered into to defray the expense of din ners and other acceptable treats for the poor." — This great National Festival a few disappointed indiaiduals wish to prevent, or at least to disturb. —They would fain discover some mode of blast ing all the expectations of pleasure which so many thousands of their countrymen have connected with • the Coronation. They would compel the if they could, to put a stop at once to all the preparations for this great event ; but since they cannot do that, they endeavour to make the Queen a brand of discord ; and they have suogested, or encouraged, in her the mons trous idea of being present, as a degraded person, at a ceremonial to which she could never expect to be invited, and hi which she has no right to share ! Weak and shadowy as we al ways deemed her claim of right to be crowned, we. did not blame her for preferring it to the proper legal authority. She may have consi dered herself - bound to do so, for the benefit of future Queens Consort. But since it appears that her Counsel could not make out the least ground for any such claim, every reasonable person will feel that the Queen has gone quite as far as decency will permit. Her showing an inclination to disturb a day of public harmony would stamp her name with odium throughout the country, and betray a selfishness, a want of feeling, and an utter destitution of female mo desty, which would disgust even her most partial supporters. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Our readers will see from the Answer return ed to the Queen's Memorial, that the Committee of the Privy Council to which her Claim was re ferred, have reported their opinions, " that as it appears to them that the Queens-Consort of this realm are not entitled of right to be crowned at any time,. her Majesty the Queen is not entitled, as. of right, to be crowned at the time specified in her Majesty's Memorials." This Answer was knOwn hi time to be- noticed in the House of Commons by Mr. Hume, in moving the Address to his - Majesty; of which he gave notice on `Tuesday. The Usher of the Black ltod made Lis appearance while Mr. Hume was in the middle of his motion and put a stop to all further proceedings . .--LThe decision of the Privy Council, or rather-of Ministers, is such as may always be expected when men act as Judges in their own cause,:and Surprises no one. History, indeed, furnishes one or two (and hut one or two) dis tinguished exceptions to the general rule ; and 'there are men who, though they might not choose ta.dccide against themselves in cases where their feelings were deeply interested, would yet have thedelicaerto decline to act as Judges in such cases ; 6ut Ministers know better than to deprive themselves of any advantage, either through stern self-denial or delicaty. [BRITISH PR ESS.] The Privy Council assembled on Tuesday for was next of kin ; nr.d. 2,11 y, that the I:.othc: 7as'not of kin at all to the party deeeas?d ; and, therefore, prayed the Court that the administration granted to the mother might be revoked, and be committed into her, as next ef kin to the deceased, by force of the sa►d statute. " hereupon, Ls it wes a great cause, and much depending upon its kiu e,—and many causes of great property likely to be decided in t'lnes to come by the precedent to be then made, tae most learned, as well in the laws of this realm as in the civil law, were consulted together, whether the mother was of kin to her son or no ? Whereunto not only the Temporal Lawyers, but the Church Lawyers, the Juris-Consulti, and the Juris-Pru dentes, the Civilians, the Advocates, the Commissaries, the Judges of the Consistory and Prerogative Courts of Canterbury and 'York, with the Master of the Faculties, were all unanimously ot . o- f inion, that the mother was not of kin * to her child. "Aml what said the Duchess of Suffolk to it ? said my uncle " Toby." Precisely, we reply, what the Queen says to this determination of the Privy Council, " the juris consulti, the jurisprudentes, the civilians, advo cates, and commissaries of the Court,"—namely, that as the Duchess of Suffolk was certainly, in spite of the decision of the Consistorial Court, of kin to her own child, so is her Majesty, in spite of the decree of the Privy Council, of kin and entitled to her Coronation. Such, we ap prehend, are her Majesty's feelings and opinion. The award of the Privy Council presents an odd specimen of reasoning : it is not an hysteron proteron, but a something which should seem to come from men who had forgotten one of the essential qualities of syllogisms, that omne muftis continet minus. The following is the sum of the sentence to which we allude :—That the Queen, not being allowed of right to be crowned at any time, is not entitled of right to be crowned on the 19th instant. How times are altered with U 3 since public documents were drawn up or re vised by such men as Pitt, and Fox, and Burke, and Windham. Mr. Hume's motion had that is sue which we anticipated) the purpose of pronouncing its final judgment upon the Memorial presented to the King by his Royal Consort, in which her Majesty claimed as of right that she should be permitted to share in the honour of the Coronation. The judgment of the Council was, in substance, that as it appear ed to the Council that Queens Consort had never been entitled, as of right, to be crowned at any time, her Majesty was not entitled to the claim specified in her Memorial. This deci sion will not, we think, disappoint any one ; for it must be presumed that the question had been carefully considered by the 'Mi nisters of the Crown before they originally advised the King not to divide the honours of his coronation with the Queen; and as the question must have always been viewed with refer ence to the precedents afforded by history, it is not probable that the King's advisers had in their previous inquiry omitted the consideration of any of those precedents which were in the late discus sion submitted to their judgment by the Queen's Attorney and Solicitor-General. The point must, therefore, have been seriously investi gated and determined long before the Queen's Memorial was presented to the King. It is said that some Members of the Privy Council, ' who were not also Members of the Cabinet, en tertained sentiments upon this subject favour able to her Majesty's claim, but that they. did not think proper to attend when the judgment of the Council was to be formally collected, and that by this means the decision of the Council was caused to be unanimous. We hope that this statement is not correct, for it would imply upon the part of these Right lion. Personages a flag rant dereliction of their most sacred duty to their King. The first article in the oath of a Privy Counsellor is, that " he will advise the King according to the best of his cunning and dis cretion ;" and the seventh, which indeed com prises all the others, is, that " he will ob serve, keep, and do all that a good and true Counsellor ought to do to his Sovereign Lord." The question arising out of the Queen's Me morial was one of so much interest to the dignity of the Crown, and perhaps to the personal feel jigs of the King, that it pleased his Majesty to cause all the Members of his Council residing in or near the metropolis to be summoned for the purpose of hearing the matter debated, and of deciding upon the arguments " according to the best of their cunning and discretion." Should any of these Counsellors so invited hesitate to express their sentiments upon the matter subjected lo their opinion, because they possibly might dis please the King, or give umbrage to any of his Mi nisters or other persons in authority,theyhave failed to discharge their duty ". as good and true Coun sellors ought to do." It did not belong to them to calculate upon the probability of their senti ments being pleasing or otherwise, nor whether they might chance to be entertained by the ma jority or the minority of those who sat with them in judgment ; an honest Counsellor is bound to give his advice to his Sovereign fearlessly and faithfully when required to do so, as he is likewise commanded by every principle of morality when acting in a judical capacity to ad minister equal justice between all parties. The Privy Council with reference. to the Queen's claim was constituted as a Court of Justice, in which every member was invested with a judicial charac ter, and they consequently had no more right to decline pronouncing their judgments individually upon the ease before them, than a Judge in the Court of King's Bench or Common Pleas would have to reserve his opinion upon any point of law which in the orditiary practice of the Court may chance to be submitted to the jurisdiction of the Court. " A lean unwashed artificer " Cuts off his tale, and talks of Arthur's death." The House was summoned while the lion. Gen- tleman was on his legs,to hear the King's speech, by which the Parliament was prorogued. In the speech delivered by the Commissioners there is nothing remarkable: the grant to the Duke of Clarence is mentioned ; and as there was some doubt respecting the matter of form, whether the proposition of increasing his Royal Highness's income should not have been recommended de novo by the Crown, it seems not improper to satisfy those doubts by introducing the Crown as ac knowledging the propriety of the grant.—At a late hour we received her Majesty's reply to the decision of the Privy Council : it is spirited and becoming. • Mater non numeratur inter consanguineos, Bald. in ult.

On the 23d January, a General Meeting of the Emancipated Colonists was held, pursuant to requisition, at the Court house, Sydney, at which, amongst others, they agreed unanimously to the following Resolutions : " 2. That, from the first establishment of this Colony in 1788, up to a late period (April, 1820) it has been held and acted upon, that persons arriving in this Colony under sentence of transportation, and afterwards obtaining their pardon, either by service of the term, absolute or conditional pardon, might and could acquire and poSsess landed and other property, and enjoy all the civil rights of free citizens. " 3. That, by a late determination of the Court of King's Bench in England, and. acted upon lately in the Courts of Civil Judicature in this Colony, whereby it has been declared that conditional and absolute- pardons, granted by the Governors of this Colony, are of no effect to the parties holding them, in re storing them to the legal enjoyment or exercise of any civil right, until their names shall have been inserted in some gene ral pardon, under the Great Seal of England; the vital inter ' ests of the Emancipated Colonists are exposed to infinite preju dice and danger, and their restoration to their rights, as citi zens, protracted beyond the period that either justice or policy can require. " 4. That this state of the law, in its consequences, affects not only the liberty, property, and civil rights of the Emancipated Colonists, but also a very considerable part of the property of the Emigrant Colonists, because the titles to a considerable por tion of the landed property, and the possession of a considerable portion of the personal property now possessed by Emigrant Co lonists, have been derived through and from Emancipated Colonists." They also agreed to address the Throne, and petition Parliament upon the subject, to appoint an agent to convey their Petitions to, and to con duct all matters in England, relative to them and their general interests ; and to appoint a standing Committee to collect subscriptions, de fray expences, &c.; upwards of 1,0001. was sub scribed in a few minutes. SYDNEY, JAN. 20.-A curious visitation has lately manifested itself in the town of Sydney ; innumerable deaths have taken place among tl►e geese, ttirkies, ducks, fowls, and pigs. In some yards from 5 to 20 and 30 fowls, quite well in the evening, have been found dead the following morning; the only intimation given of approaching death being a giddiness attended with weakness. The pigs are suddenly seized with a complaint similar to the staggers, and die almost imme diately after. .. . 1 .• .. . ~ . . 11.7. v f34,s 2osT.

The issue of tickets for viewing Westminster hall has ceased,. and that edifice will not be opened again to general inspection till after the Coronation. We understand that no less than forty thousand tickets were issued by the Loan GREAT CH A M BERLAIN during the eight days the Hall was opened to the public. The tickets for admission to the Hall on the day of the Corona tion, are now stamping with the LORD GREAT CHAMBERLAIN'S Seal. In serving up the first court; t of his MAJESTY'S dinner, on the day of Coronation, his Grace the I)uke of WEL LINGTON, as Lord High Constable of England for the day, and the Marquess of A NGLESEA, as Lord high Steward for the day, will accompany the Earl Marshal (Lord HOWARD of Effingham,) on horseback, attired in their robes, as Peers, and having on their heads their Coronets. It was thought these Noble Individuals would have ridden by deputies, but in thus personally per forming their offices, the interest of this part of the splendid scene will be greatly enhanced.— We are happy to state, from authority, that the intention which existed, of throwing open West minster Hall to the populace at the banquet, has been abandoned ,f rom a n ell-founded apprehension that the impetuosity of the persons admitted might produce mischievous consequences to themselves. Two folding gates have been erected at the north entrance to the Hall, which, from their peculiar construction, would resist the pressure of any or dinary force which might be applied to them. In ad2lt►on to the several regiments of cavalry summoned to London to attend the Coronation, we understand that all the yeomanry corps within fifty miles of the metropolis Kill likewise be present. A consultation took place in the Lord Great Chamberlain's O►fice, on Monday, as to the probable time which the various ceremo nies to be gone through on the day of Coronation would occupy, when it was considered, that, un der all circumstances, it will be impossible for his MAJ EST Y to sit dow❑ to dinner till eight o'clock in the evening. In this view of the case, it was deemed necessary that preparations should be made for lighting Westminster Hall, and the ave nues leading to and from it, on the approach of nightfall, and orders to that effect have been issued. Mr. PERRY, of Bond-street, is the per son by whom these orders are to be executed. He was yesterday morning engaged in making his estimates of the number of lights which will be necessary. Splendid chandeliers are to be suspended from the heads of each of the angels terminating the arches which support the roof of the Hall (28 in number), and each of these chandeliers will contain from 50 to 60 wax can dles ; independent of these, there will be bril liant candelabras, and other lights, on the tables and royal platform. The dining-rooms in the House of Lords, Courts of Law, as well as all the other rooms and passages through which Members of the Procession will have occasion to pass, will also be lighted with candelabras, lustres, branches, and lamps. CORONATION CLAIMS. Yesterday morning the Lords of the Privy Council assembled at the Royal Cockpit, Whitehall, to take into consi deration a number of claims that have been re ferred to them for their decision from the Court of Claims. The Lord President, Earl riAlt RONVIIY, the Master of the Horse, Duke of MONTROSE, the Duke Of CLARENCE, Marquis CAMDEN, the Secretaries of State for the Home and Foreign Affairs, the President of the Board of Trade, &c. attended.—Their Lordships exa mined a great variety of books, documents, and ancient manuscripts, and confirmed some of the claims, and disallowed others. , . fErtosTATrox.—A magnificent Balloon will ascend on Cie 18th inst. from the Belvidere Gardens, Islington, in honour of his Majesty's Coronation. A young Nobleman will ascend in it, accompanied by a scientific Gentleman, under whose direc tion it ha been made. LIVERPOOL.—The day of the Coronation will be observed in this town in the most magnificent manner. A splendid Coll will be given in the elegant suite of rooms in the Town Hall. The Corporation are going to distributeXlsooamong the public charities of the town ; and Companies of the different Trades will form a procession through the principal streets, and will afterwards proceed to open the New Dock, which is considered one of the finest piecest of naval architecture in the kingdom, and does infinite credit to the architect.

CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 11.-A krge propor tion of Monday's supply of Wheat remained over for this morn ing's market, but which chiefly consisted of samples of inferior quality, for which there is but little demand, and consequently it met very heavy sale at Monday's prices ; but prime samples were disposed of on full as good.terms as on that day. The ar rivals of Oats have this eiek been abundant, and having' but few buyers, the trade was exceedingly dull at a decline of trom 61. to is. per quarter. In Barley, Beans, and Peas there is no alteration. CHILD MunnEa.—Tuesday night, about 12 o'clock, as Mr. HYAM, of Wild-street, Long-acre, was enter ing his passage, he found a bundle tied up tightly with a string, and covered with blood., Thinking it was a bundle of meat which somebody left there, he took it up to his room, when, on opening it, he 'found the dead body of a child. Bartlett, a beadle, was sent for, and he conveyed it to Si. Giles's Workhouse for a Coroner's Inquest. AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH.—YeS terday evening, Mr. Atkinson, of • Parker-street, Drury-lane, had a party of friends at his house to spend the evening. lie partook of tea with them, apparently in good health and spirits, after which he quitted them for the purpose of feeding hiS horse in a stable p.7Y:., , rent to his house, but remaining longer than was expected, they . :)ccame alarmed, ~ n cl a female, named Clew, proceeded to the stable, where she found him lying on his back, a corpse- 7 A medical gentleman was sent for, but all attempts weze useless to restore animation. The Manchester Observer, a newspaper which tended in so great a degree to fan the flame of discontent which accident had kindled,and which bad wen fed with inflammatory combustibles, is at last defunct. It had passed through a variety of hands, which changed as the lash of the law shook the nerves of its successive proprietors. We know it is invidious to speak it of the dead, else we would say, never did a viler production disgrace the freedom of the press; for though it so often changed the name of its publisher, yet the same evil spirit seemed to continue its editor under all, and contrived to" run a muck",in the assassina tion of private characters,' and in the endeavour to cater for the vilest passions of rnankind.

This was one of several actions commenced by the pl,tintiff against the publishers of the " Literary Journal - 7' for libel. The defend. ant was merely the seller of the publication, and stopped the sale as soon as complaint was made, offering at the same time ' any reasonable reparation. In another action which Went to a Jury upon a writ of inquiry, 51. damages only had been given; and the Court would not, under such circumstances, the I,!ara ed Counsel trusted, interfere. • Mr. CHITTY, in support of his rule. contended that the judgment had been irregularly signed. It would be cheaper to both parties to set the judgment aside than to commence proceedings de novo. The COURT discharged the rule. SALISDURY V. MORTON AND ANOTHER. This was a petition from a prisoner in the •King's Bench against two sheriff's officers for extortion. The names of the officers are Morton and Cavanagh, and the undue charges were important rather as a matter of principle than from their indi vidual amount.—The plaintiff WaS heard in person. Mr. SCARLETT appeared for the defendants. The CouRT ordered that Morton should pay 131.-21 to the. plaintiff tbr reparation, 11. for costs, and 101. as• a fine to the King. Cavanagh was fined 71.-11. to the plaintiff for repara tion, 11. for costs, and 51. to the King. SALISBURY V. GIBBON . . This was a similar application by the same plaintiff agaitist a tipstaff of the King's Bench prison. The charge was, that Gibbon had taken (for removal by Habeas Corpus to the King'is Bench prison) a fee of ten shillings and 6d ; ne being only en titled, according to the table of fees hung up in that . prison, to charge six shillings. The defendant stated that the fee of . ten and sixpence had been taken by hims.lf and his predeces sors in office, for more than five and twenty years. The Coital - , not having before it upon affidavit the table of. fees relied on by the plaintiff, ordered that the matter should stand over till the next term. RICHARD MARTIN, ESQ., M.P. V. HAWKINS AND ANOTHER. Mr. SCARLETT requested time, in this ease, to answer the affidavits filed by the plaintiff. The fact was, that 'hr.

BOXING. SHELTON AND CARTER.—Tuesday was a day of real busi ness amongst the high mettled fanciers of the rnilliog school.— - After the Sparring Match there was a dinner at the Brown Bear, Bow-street, when the second deposit wr , ,s made between Randal and Martin. By 11 o'clock Bacchus claimed th , • chair, and jollity prevailed. Every man was sweet upon him-. self, and to keep talent on the alert, a purse of 201. was sub scribed for two of the Gernmen present, Shelton and Carter, to fight for. " Not here," said the host, " I must have you gentlemanly," and the company retired to another place for the mill. Oliver seconded Shelton, and Burn, .Carter. In the first round Carter went at his adversary with much gaiety, and counter hits were exchanged, but both want , :d the rough edge off their exertion to do much execution, and after scrambling round both went down. 2. Carter received a flush lift handed facer, which he rer. turned upon the body- of his antagonist, and after a smart ralii - they closed. Carter made a slip, and Shelton got his head un-, der the left arm and weaved tipan him successfully : he t'lre'r him a heavy fall which groggified him,.and set his ogles ing. i. Shelton, availing himself of his adverAnry's distress hr Olt!: fall, pounced in upon him and floored him by a heavy hit 00 the side of the head, which won the fight. This casual turn up will lead to a very interesting fight, alt Carter, it seems, can be backed for 100 guineas, and Shelton' , friends are ready with their bustle. There will be much diver sity of opinion upon the initch, ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. GUILDHALL.-041 Monday' fternoon heto Pen* 5 and 6 o'clock, as Miles Phillips, a Waterman, was returnitt4- in his boat to Blackfriars-bridge, - after a fare, he observid 3 female in an apparently disordered state on the causeway ing the landing place ; and perceiving her in the act of ta . kirts off her bonnet and shoes, he suspected she was about tothro o = herself into the river ; he rowed quickly towards her, bet slie immediately took a run along the causeway, and plunged into. the water. Phillips was near enough, and attempted to catch her in her fall, and again upon her rising the first time, but without success. He waited, however, patiently for her corn* up the second time, and was fortunate enough to succeed in say : ing her, got her with much trouble into his boat, and, conveye4 her on shore in a state of insensibility.
