THE. LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS July 7. [MORNING POST.] Mr. Brougham closed his speech yesterday in fawn: of the Queen's claim to participate in the honours of a Coronation, and was followed by Mr. Denman. On the arguments adduced we !hall not now enlarge ; but we cannot help re . marking that to tis they seem merely to prove what was never doubted, that, by ancient custom, the Queen consort has generally been crowned with the King, or at some other period which he might think proper to appeint. "We needed no Ghost to ten us this ;" but as it is not proved that.the Queen on such occasions is bound by an oath to watch with maternal care over the wel fare of the people, in her case the ceremony ' seems but a Compliment which the King has'a Tight to pay if he thinks proper; but which it is equally crear he has a right to withhold. In the Tresent case, supposing her Majesty to be the -thrrst innocent of women, too much is unhappily hnown of the terms on, which she and her Royal C. , .nsort Mint meet (if they meet at all), to make it reasonable to expect that the King should feel anxious to augment the splendour .of his Corona tion by soli - citing her presence. The pageant, 6r the festival—were she bidden to them under circumstances, would, we apprehend, yield her Majesty little pleasure . ; and had a wish for her attendance on this grand, occasion been- but expressed in a certain quarter, we think we may almost venture to assert, that it would have been trtet with a flat refusal to comply. - It will be seen from Mr. Brougham's Speech that the book which he had been refused by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster was not with held through the interference of any one con nected with the Government, but in compliance with a Statute passed in the time of Queen Eliza beth, under which they are restrained from giving it in compliance with an unauthorised application. Far from attempting to baffle her Majesty's Counsel by throwing any impediments in their way, or withholding any document which might enable them to sustain the claim so strongly set up, we know that the Noble Lord at the head of the Rome Department has taken care that every thing the State Paper Office could afford should be forthcoming at their demand, anxious on this, as on every occasion, that her Majesty should he treated, not with impartial justice, but with Eberal indulgence.—(Mid.) [BRITISH PRESS. The Privy Council assembled again yesterday, at ten o'clock in the morning, in pursuance of their previous order, for the purpose of hearing the further arguments of the Queen's Counsel in support of her Majesty's claim. Mr. Btougham resumed his argument, in which he descanted at great length upon the importance of, the right claimed by the Queen, and contended that it was derived to her Majesty from immemorial usage, and was as necessarily associated with public in terests and with the private rights of 'many indi viduals who claimed to hold lands by services to be performed to her Majesty at her coronation, as was even the coronation of the King himself. Mr. Denman followed on the same side, but had not concluded his argument at two o'clock, when the Council adjourned. The King's Attorney and Solicitor General will be heard against the -claim. Should the Council decide that the legal right of being crowned with her illus trious Consort, is in the Queen, the Minis ters will not, we think, venture to advise his Majesty to separate his coronation from that of the Queen, even though the honour were to be granted to her Majesty of receiving the Crown subsequently in a distinct Coronation, and the King will never consent to sharing the same ce remony with his Queen. In the event, therefore, of the Council's deciding in favour of her Ma jesty's claim, it is most probable that no Corona tion will take place. Having noticed yesterday the circumstance of,the difficulty experienced by Mr. Brougham in his application to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster for permission to inspect the Libcr Regalis, it is but right that we should r:ow give equal publicity to Mr. Brougham's sub sequent admission, that an Act of Parliament-had been passed in the reign of Elizabeth, which pre vented the Dean and Chapter from acceding to Mr. Brougham's first request. [NEW TIMES.] We apprehend, we may now be permitted to say, than there is an end to the absurd notion of the Queen's legal right to be crowned. It is true, the Privy- 'Council has not decided upon the question : but the arguments of her Majes ty's Counsel have been heard ; and any thing more inconclusive, we. will venture to assert was never adduced before so high a Tribunal.-- What these Gentlemen had to maintain was this —that the Queen had a legal right to be crowned at-the same time as the King—observe, a legal right : and what is their argum en t? Th a t it has been customary for Queens Consort with some exceptions to be crowned with the Kings their husbands. One would think a child might per ceive that these two propositions have nothing at all to do with each other. In the first place, their proof of the ,custom, in point of fact, is ab solutely ridiculous. In the lapse of 755 years, how many instances do they produce ? Eight!— namely, Edward 1., Edward IL, Richard Henry VIII„ James 1,, James . IL, George 11., and- George 111. On the other hand, the fol lowing Kings, with wives living at the time of their Coronation, were crowned alone, viz.:— William 1., Stephen, Charles Charles IL, and George I. And this is gravely called proof of an uninterrupted custom!! Failing on the di rect point which_ they have to prove, they try to help it, by analogy from the Coronation of Queens, who were married subsequently to the Coronation of their husbands. But this is not the question now for c o nsid erat i on . It may hereafter be urged, to show that the Queen has a right to be crowned alone ; but it does not prove what she now contends for, aamely, that she has a right to be crowned with the King. Clearly therefore there is - not the slightest'pretence for saying, that the alleged custom is proved, in point of fact. Nay, on their own showing, it is, as a custom, distinctly disproved. Bat if they had established their facts, what then ? Where is the legal right ? Persons who argue on such matters as these ought to have precise ideas, at least of the chief terms which they employ. Now, what idea have these Gentlemen of a legal right? [MORNING CHRONICLE.) The case for the Queen was closed yesterday, and this day, it is understood, that the Attorney General will be heard in answer.—We refer our Readers to the Reports of the very able and learned speeches of her Majesty's Counsel, (See the San of this dag,) in whose hands we may safely leave her case. We know not what their opponents can urge in opposition to the powerful reasoning by which they establish her . Majesty's right. We have seen some attempts at an answer in the Ministeri4-1 Pa pers, which, if they are to be taken as a 'sample of what we have to expect from his Majesty's Counsel, are not calculated to excite much alarm. " If the Queen," says a . Morning Paper, " had a right to be crowned, it must be altoge ther independent of the fact of the King's Coro-, nation ; or else she must have a right to compel him to be crowned for the sake of putting her in possession of her right ! which is an absurdity too great to be for a moment contemplated. 11l she had a right she would have a legal remedy for the refusal of that right, and we should see Mr. Brougham coming into ;the Court of King's Bench to move for a mandamus to his Majesty, to admit his Royal ,Consort to participate in the solemnity of Coronation." We confess we were not before aware, that the Court of King's Bench could in any case be moved for a mandamus to his Majesty. We have heard of another form in usp when the subject seeks for justice against the Sovereign—but let that pass. [THE TIMES.] The official account of the quarter's revenue "appears in another part of our paper.—(See: also THE SUN this day.)—These periodical ex-parte statements have too long lost their credit with the public, to justify our bestowing much notice upon them. The present return exhibits a falling off in the Excise, the Stamps, and the Post-office the first denoting a diminished power in. the population at large to indulge in the use of the necessaries of life; and the other two, less activity in the internal trade of the coun- try, and less frequent interchange of property. Foreign commerce, of which the customs may be assumed as the barometer, appears, though in a slight degree, to be reviving. An instance of dis ingenuousness is exposed by this return, 'which should not pass without observation. In order to convey the more decided impression of the prosperous state of the Revenue, we are told for the first time that the quarter ending July, 1420, was increased more than 140,0001., by payments which belonged in fact to the preceding quarter, and therefore that the quarter ending July,lB2l, should have the benefit, on a fair comparison, of that sum. Yet in July, 1820, no notice was taken of this circumstance, and the public were left to conclude that all the amount stated as the produce of the quarter - , - actually belonged to it. Ilow can we be certain, then, that a similar re serve is not made in the present instance, and the fact withheld to give a false colouring to the-re turn for July, 1822 [MORNING HERALD.. A rumour prevails that the Governor of St. He lena had, lying in his hands, an instruction from Government, that in case of the death of Buona parte, his body should be transported to Europe. ft would be painful to execute such an order in violation of his dying request. But if that diffi culty did not present itself, and' it should turn out that this part of the intelligence is unfounded, it would not be unworthy of the English nation to, give him a burial suitable to the singularity of his life and the superiority of his talents. It has been said that— " An honest man's the noblest work of God," in which, by the bye, there is no more morality lan poetry. But a man endowed with one of those extraordinary intelligences which appear but once in the course of many ages, is certainly the grandest production of nature; and if the sentiments and the usages of this life are entitled to any consideration, the death of such a man is a - 1 event which should be signalized with corres pondent solemnity. Such a ceremonial would be perfect and pleasing accord with the public heart and imagination. The tomb of guona parte would be an interesting, and even proud monument in England. As to his long hostility to this country, the national forgiveness is, we be lieve, most complete, Should the body be brought to Europe, it is not likely that it would be claimed by his family, the members of which are quite scattered, and debarred from leaving the different and distant places assigned to them. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—On Thursday se'nnight, at mid-day, Mr. Kent, the aquatic pedestrian, ex hibited on the river Cart, at Paisley, in presence of a vast crowd of spectators. The day was fa vourable, and the people were seated on the banks of the river. A most unhappy event, however, occurred, which greatly disturbed the spectacle. A fire took . place in Smithhills-street, devouring the property of Mr. James Brown, broker and wright there. His men had gone out to view the scene already mentioned, and during their ab sence the fire is supposed to have extended from the grata [of the workshop to some combustibles with which they had been repairing furniture.-- A number of tradesmen who have no other me thod of living than by their industry, have lost their all in every sense of the expression. The damage has been very great to Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown had neglected to.insure his property, and became greatly disconsolate. Early on Friday morning he leaped out of the window in the apart ment where he had gone to rest, by which acci dent his ribs on one side were driven from their proper position, both of his arms broken, and his body btherwise injured. FOREIGN LITERATURE. (No. XXVIII.) ANECDOTES of the NINETEENTH CENTURY ; a COLLECTION of MODERN STORIES and ANEC DOTES, hitherto unpublished, of Traits and Sayin&s little known, of singular Adventures, &c. &c. by J. A. S.. CoLLiN DE PLANCY, 2 vols. Bvo. Paris, 1821. What a terrible man- M. Collin de Plancy is ! What has he done ? Don't you know ? He' corn. piled the Feudal Dictionary ,• he compiled the Infernal Dictionary; and he also wrote. The Devil painted by himself: Is this enough ? With such a 'rough adversary prejudices have not fair play ; he gives them no quarter. Voltaire may perhaps • have attacked them with as much wit, but not with equal fury. In France you hear incessantly of the near re turn of feudalism and superstition. The French need not be under any alarm ; they- will never return. M. Collin de - Plancy keeps too good a watch over them. Feudalism and superstition will never dare to shew themselves where he is; but are not these alarmists laughing at the French. Can they mean seriously thus to speak of feudalism and superstition ? Are either of them much to be feared in the present day ? What, feudalism! after the Revolution! Feu dalism! with their charter-and its august author. Feudalism I Sovereigns wish for it less z perhaps; than their -übjects. And - Superstition ! Is the age inclined to be superstitious ? Do•you think over much or not enough, tell M. Collin de Plancy; but perhaps we must attack this opinion still farther. The French are . no longer, it is true, in those days when. we read on the, gate of Saint .Roch, in legible characters, these four lines, placed there by one of the superstitious in that quarter : Nous abolissons en ce lieu Le culte et sottises semblables; II serait plaisant de voir Dieu Loa par an peuple de diables. No, that time is gone by ; but it must be ad mitted, even by the liberaux, that the French have a long journey to take before they can reach the threshold of superstition. M. Collin de Plancy declares in positive. terms that reason will triumph. I had no longer any doubt respecting it, as soon as M. Collin de Plancy, taking her under his protection, published his FEUDAL DICTIONARY, his Itifernal Dictionary, his Devi painted by himself, and recently his Anecdotes of the Nineteenth Century.' I say of the Nineteenth Century, because I am too polite to give a flat contradiction to the title page; for M. Collin de Plancy knows perfectly well that some, of his modern stories are of a very respectable antiquity, and that the same may be said of his anecdotes of the Nineteenth Century, which were not indeed very young at the be ginning of the fourteenth. .If 1 had bowed to all the old acquaintances whom I met with 'in this collection hitherto unpublished, my hat would have been used as often as was honest Joe Miller's ; but could it he otherwise ? Did you expect that M. Collin de I'lancy would give you two good sized volnmes, in which every thing should be new and poignant. We ought not to expect so much from a compilation. However, we must not lose sight of the author's object : his attacks are especially directed against feudalism and superstition ; and to meet the enemy he is obliged to go back to ages long past, our's not being, whatever some people. may say, either very feudal or much inclined to supersti tion.. The work of M. Collin de Plancy may, per haps, on this account, be less interesting ; but this writer, whose taste is solid, has attended more to our instruction than our amusement.— " Perhaps," says he, " /shall make you think, and I prefer doing so to writing an amusing book, because the time devoted to its perusal will not be a subject of regret." Let us, therefore, think with M. Collin de Plancy, but amuse ourselves with others. I open the first volume, and find at the fourth page the melancholy story of Maria of Brabant. " This princess," we are told, " one day gave " two letters to a messenger ; one for her hus " band, the Duke of Bavaria, the other for the " Rhingrave. Unfortunately the messenger could CC not read, and delivered to the husband the let " ter intended for the Rhingrave. The result is " well known ; the messenger, the supposed lover, Maria of Brabant, her governante, and 44 her first maid of honour, all lost their lives." This happened in 1250; and it must be admitted that the author goes back a little too far in search of his anecdotes of the nineteenth century ; but if what he relates affords you an useful lesson, and makes you think, why should you complain ? CC All these evils," judiciously remarks M. Collin de Plancy, " would not have taken place the messenger had been able to read ;" and hence he argues, that we ought to give in struction to all classes of society ; but this, he adds, is contrary to the wishes of the admirers of feudalism and the partisans of tobscztrantisme. No, they are decidedly opposed to nations being taught to read, becauSe they know " that an ig 7 norant people suffer themselves to be more easily led by their rulers." Will you now re p roac h M. Collin de Plancy for having recalled to your me mory •the fatal accident which befell Maria of Brabant ? You see the use he makes of it against feudalism and superstition ; at least, it teaches us, under like circumstances, in order to avoid so disastrous a mistake, to chuse a messenger who knows how to read, and would not deliver to the husband a letter addressed to another person. Besides, such a lesson is not without its value, and it is of little consequence whether the anec dote- which furnishes it be young or old. Let us, therefore, not cavil with M. Collin de Plancy respecting the ages of those whiel - he recounts': let us pass over even the will of P. Pithon, the apology of St. Barthelemy, by Guy du Faur de Pibrac, the brief of .the Pope who established the Inquisition in France, and other extracts which the deems very curious, but which we are rather surprised to find in a collection of anecdotes and bons mots of the 19th century ; we -ought, how ever, to overlook many faults in a writer who Nukes us think. The misfortune is, that we do not always know what M. Collin de Plancy thinks himself, even on some very important points. For instance, he boaits in his first volume of the politeness and amiable manners of the French, and their pro gress in civilization and knowledge. After reading this passage, the French may well feel proud at being born in the 19th century ;, but, as if he took a pleasure in mortifying their pride, M. Collin de Pinney, in his second volume, exclaims in a tone of anguish, bordering on des• pair :—" Alas ! we are still barbarians ; and yet " we talk of our knowledge and politeness.—, " Can a country seem to you habitable, because among a hundred thousand savage beasts, there " are a few civilized animals." To which of these two opinions must we subscribe ? Are the French savage beasts You shall soon be satisfied. The Anecdote related by M. Collin de Plancy in support of his grievous accusation is so ter- rible, so afflicting, that for the honour of the age and France I wish I could contradict it. Read and shudder:—" In the month of February last, " some men were seen in the Tuileries beating " unmercifully an unfortunate spaniel, about " whose neck a tri-coloured ribbon had been " imprudently tied." And who were these wretches? Do you wish to know ? 0 feudalism! 0 superstition ! They are, says M. Collin de Plancy, they are the causes which produce poli tical and religious fanaticism. It was _this fana ticism, you cannot for a moment doubt it, which occasioned the spaniel's ill-treatment and death. We must, therefore, no longer talk of French civilization and French politeness ; for the anec dote is quite recent. The blood of the victim still smokes, and will long smoke. Again, M. Collin de Plancy expresses his opi nion on the domestic manners of the French " Formerly," be says, 64 they were dreadful. " The gteater number of women were prosti " totes." A very delightful recollection for those of the present day. The Revolution has changed every thing. - A female sceptic is now a rare phenomenon. " Can you mention an age," says M. Collin de Plancy, 64 which has been " distinguished for so much virtue as the pre " sent ?" And to what cause do the French owe this happy change ? You will never guess. " To " politics, which occupy all the leisure moments 44 of the French ladies :" and as M. Collin de Plancy sees you smile,—" Do you think," he continues, " that they understand this subject " worse than you ?" No, assuredly not. "Do cc you think that if you had a representative " chamber of French ladies, they would make " bad laws ?" Quite the contrary. I am convinced they would make very good laws, and also that they would know how to delibe rate on them without disgrace or scandal. M. Collin de Plancy had better not press me further on this point,- for I have no great opinion of the masculine French Chamber, and if he were to ask me to abandon it to him, it is a sacrifice I shuuld, not be very unwilling tomake. He will then have the power of replacing It by his representative chamber of French ladies ; but let him take care to choose only young ministers, the majority de pends on it. The idea of M., Collin de Plancy will perhaps appear rather strange: but after having made so many experim en ts in p o liti cs , why tould not the French try his suggestion ? There may be reasons against, but there are also some in favour of it, and those very strong. To a word, after mature deliberation, I am of opinion that this question may be put to the test and de cided in the present day without much danger. If we are to believe M. Collin de Plancy, the system of education in France is detestable ; and he attributes it to superstition. The education of women, who neither go to the schools of the ignorant, nor to those of the university, is, ac cording to him, better than the present French mode of instruction. " Before the Revolution," says the author, " they scarcely knew how to " read, not even those belonging to the first.fami lies." Now, what do they not know ? But there are certain things which they learn perhaps too late. " Would it not be better to make young girls comprehend earlier the meaning of words deemed immodest?" This is a delicate question which M. Collin de Plancy puts td the good mothers of fami lies who are earnestly desirous of perfecting the education of their children ; and to facilitate the solution he assures them that" preceptors who have " determined to conceal nothing from their pu " pils, have found their plan crowned with " excellent results." I should not have be- lieved it; but M. Collin de Plancy attests the fact, and I cannot any longer doubt it. 1k has seen young girls, from whom nothing had been hidden, listen with cold indifference to the most perilous words; and on finding them so perfectly unmoved, he could not help forming a good opi nion of their education. I beg pardon, bow pver, of those preceptors...vho conceal nothing from their pupils ; but 1 will not have any thing to do with their method, in spite of the excellent results they have obtained from it. M. Collin de Plancy may, if he pleases, confide his daughters to their in struction, but they shall not have mine. They would return to me too well informed. Politics may be tolerated ; but words deemed immodest make me tremble. The age has ylready well finished the education of our sons; but we ear nestly intreat it, not to make such dispatch in bringing our daughters to perfection : a know ledge of these things comes soon enough. " My work," observes M. Collin de Pinney, " communicates many remarks and details which " I think new." All his readers will have plea sure ;n payiqg him this act of justice : his reflec tions, however, are not only new but very bold' in proof of which we refer to his observations on M an drin I will not here discuss the articles intitled Divine Missions, Miracles, Prophets and Pro phecies, Toleration, &c.—M. Collin de Plancy ought to be obliged to me ; for; entre naus, his jests are neither so new nor so keen as his reflec tions. I would recommend him to leave off jest ing on matters of religion. With respect to feudalism, he would probably speak less ill of it if he were better acquainted with it; and especially if he could be persuaded that we ought not to form a judgment of ancient institutions according to our modern notions. The feudal system was a very good institution ; it insured protectors to the vanquished and un armed, and, owing to this greater security, ena bled.the,latter to make rapid, progress. iri the arts, sciences, and all kinds of knowledge. _Collectors of anecdotes and bons mots have been compared by a wit : to those persons who eat cherries or oysters; first chusing the best, and fin►shing by eating ail. This yeMark, conveys a just idea of the work• of COW!) de.Plancy. '1 MELANCHOLY SUICIDE Or CHA:ILES THOMSON, I ESQ. MASTER I N C HANCERY .-- Yesterday an In quest was held before TITOIAS STIRLING, Esq. Coroner, in an apartment at the house of - Charles Thomson, Esq. Master in Chancery, 14, Port land,place, who put a period •to his existence under the following circumstances appear ed froni'the evidence adduced, that on Thursday morning last the deceased was in his chamber; about eight o'clock, when he rang the bell:for the butler,- who immediately proceeded up'- stairs. The deceased - told him to bring him some water, on doing which he said that he should - not want him for an hour. The butler accord ingly went up stairs at the expiration of the hour, aiad he found the door of the deceased's dressing room locked. Upon looking through the . key-hole he observed a qnantity : of blood on the floor. lie immediately made an ' alarm, which brought up • stairs several servants, who forced open the door, and found the deceased sittinga;ni a chair in his, morning dress, with his throat cut from ear to ear., Two razors were near the de ceased, one of which laid upon the table, and the other upon 'the floor, and the place was co vered with blood. The family Were informed of the horrid transaction, and Mr. Houghton; soy'. -geon, of Conduit 7 street, was sent for, but the de ceased was quite dead. The evening before the deceased rode out on horseback, apparently in his usual state of health, and there was no:S-uSpi "cion whatever that he would have laid-Violent hands upon himself. The only cause -to which the commission -of the rash act can be attri buted is, that a short time' ago, he was attacked With an apoplectic fit, which seemed to prey _much on his _mind, and latterly he was ob served to be very low and. dejected. lle was 52 years of age ; he• has left a wife and ;artily. It appears that the deceased first initde , tininci sion in his throat with one of the razors, - and - completed the deadly gash with the second. Mr. Houghton, for the satisfaction of all parties, opened the deceased's head, and -found it in such a state as was likely to have caused•derangetnent of intellect : it is supposed that the act took place on the impulse of the moment. Several witnesses gave evidence as to the deceased's general con duct, and his state of mind, all of which tended to prove what has been already stated. The Jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased committed the act himself, being at the time in a state of mental derangement." Within the last few days a considerable num ber of genteel foreigners have arrived in Londoa in every direction, from the Continent, to wai - tnes the magnificent ceremony of the Coronation.
