THE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS FROM TIIE' DAILY MORNING PAPERS, October 30, 182. [THE TIMES.] We publish a letter from Mr. Bowring to Mr. Canning (see ' FIIE SUN of this day), descriptive' of the treatment 'which he has experienced from the French Authorities. The question as to the justice of the original arrest of Mr. Bowring is a very different one from the question of the justice of detaining him without any specific charge. In the present situation of France, where several provinces have been the seat of almost open re bellion, and considering the public fact that the' press of England has been made .the medium of the most violent and seditious attacks on the French Government, and on the family, it was not primafacie unreasonable to suspect that an Englishman, of politics avowedly hostile to that Government, might have suffered himself to be the instrument of communication between the domestic and foreign enemies of France. The arrest, therefore, did not furnish ground for the presumption that wrong had been committed by. the French Government. But when the ori ginal ground of detention is abandoned, and when it appears that no proof exists against the pri soner, except what is-sought to be elicited from the mouth of the prisoner himself—when, even after the failure of such proof, fresh causes of detention are apparently yet to seek, then it be comes the duty of that prisoner's Government to interfere in his behalf, and to insist that one of its subjects shall not be detained, except for avowed reasons capable of regular proof. Sus picion is ground of arrest ; but it is not ground of perpetual or even protracted imprisonment, except in cases of extreme magnitude, which (from the turn this affair has taken) can hardly Dow be supposed to be the case here. [MORNING POST.] We received last night, by Express, French Papers to the 28th instant. They have brought a letter from Verona dated the 19th, the con tents of which are of considerable importance. They state in the most confident 'manner, that, one of the first acts of the Congress will be to decree the evacuation of Piedmont by the Austrian troops, and that this measure will excite no dis cussion, the determination having been taken in the previous conferences at Vienna. The same justice, however, is not to be done to the Nea politan people, notwithstanding the reconimen• dation of England, who is represented as having resumed amongst arbitrary Sovereigns the noble and-truly British character of Advocate for the rights and independence of nations.- The pro.. posal . made at Vienna to withdraw the Austrian troops from the territories of Naples and- Sicily is said to have been outvoted, and was expected to meet with the same fate at Verona if it should~ he renewed. [BRITISH PRESS. 3 New York Papers to the 21.1 instant contain a detailed report of the capture of the French brig Azema. • This vessel, it appears, arrived . at diartestodon the 17th last, having been previ ously. plundered :off the Havannah by a piratical schooner of 3 guns and 50 men, of old plate. amounting to 155 Hi.; 25 watches, of which 14 *ere gold ; and 2,621 dollars in specie, besides 309 bags of silver. This is another very happy illustration -- of Admiral Rowley's assertion, that the Under-Writers had invented • tales of plun der to enhance the premiums, . and a decided proof of the activity and protection given by his squadron to the trade in these seas. —We regret to state that this is not a solitary example, and that the Arnerical Papers contain other cases of similar character. This new and unfavourable intelligence has excited a - great sensation at Lloyd's, where, we understand, there will be a meeting this day, to take into consideration the correspondence between their otntnittee and the Secretary of the Admiralty, respecting these robberies. Considering it of great importance to the commercial world to as certain where the blame attaches, we hope to be able to give an account of any proceeding that may take .place in our Paper of to-morrow. [NEW TIMES.] The accounts from the South of Ireland are not of a nature, we are glad to perceive, likely to create much alarm. With the exception of a few outrages in Westmeath, -Kilkenny (where we are sorry to find a murder has been committed), and Tipperary, the system does not appear to - wear that formidable character which people are disposed to apprehend. In Tipperary there has been a meeting of the Magistrates at Cashel; the Earl of Donoughmore in the Chair. At this meeting the Earl of Glengall moved a series of Resolutions, the object of which was, on the information of certain persons, whose names he stated, to place a part of the county under the Insurrection Act. The Resolutions gave rise to some debate, in which the Noble Chairman took a very active part against the measure. His Lordship pronounced a very animated eulogy on the Marquis Wellesley for the vast labour which he had effectually taken, in restoring the country to a state of quiet ;,great indeed, in comparison to that in which he found it. If all had not been done, there was yet more good effected than could have been looked for in the time. As to the Barony of Iffa and Offa West, he declared solemnly to God; that for twenty years back he did not recollect those parts of it with which he was acquainted in so quiet a state as they are in at present ; and several other persons of the highest character, who know other parts of it, bore similar testi mony ; and who in the face of the documents produced of the spirit of disturbance, proposed laws to be confined to one parish only, the parish of Caber. On the question being put to the vote, however, the Resolutions of the Noble Mover were carried by a majority. [MORNING HERALD.I It appears that the Irish Government has de , termined to prevent by force the, usual assem. blages.in Dublin, on the 4th of November.-- This determination certainly deserves credit. It will extinguish one torch-•-or more properly one rush-light, of bigotry and discord. From what we can learn, its importance is greatly exagge rated on this side the_ water. This periodical Orange fete is mischievous, but it is at the same time contemptible. On the morning of the anni versary, the Statue of King William is dis covered with yellow rags floating from it f in the wind, which naturally attracts an-assemblage of blackguard boys, and others of the lowest class, with orange lillies in the hats of such of them as wear hats. Sometimes the refuse of some corps of Dublin volunteers march by with a cracked fife and kettle-drum, and towards night the streets are rendered disagreeable by the encounter of these persons reeling along, drunk and dirty, after their orgies. This is a nuisance that should be abated—but almost as much a nuisance to Protestants as to Catholics. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We received the Paris Papers of Sunday, last night, by express. An account from Verona of the 19th alludes to the recent discussions at Vi enna of the subjects to be again taken into con sideration at the Congress. We are told that the occupation of allitaly by Austria was agreed to by the great majority of the Ministers, but that England was dissentient. The 'Em peror of Russia had been some time amusing himself with viewing the picturesque scenery of the Lake de Garda. Upon the whole there does not seem so much eagerness as usual among the Potentates with respect to this Congress. — We do notknow precisely what to make of Ma jorities at Vienna or Verona. We should ap prehend that the serious dissent of any one State in a matter of such moment as the occupation of Italy necessarily broke up the Alliance. In a Constituted Body, we can understand the mean ing of majority and minority ; in the case of an Alliance of States for the effecting a particular ob ject, such as the carrying on a joint war, we can also understand why, in determining as to the measures necessary for the, accomplishment of the end in view, the Minority should also yield to the Majority ; but when States are not embarked in a common object, are not deliberating how they should give effect to a line of policy which has been already agreed on, but meet for the purpose of discussing the very policy itself, a diversity of opinion necessarily ranges the powers on opposite sides.

The neatness and simplicity of this structure does great credit to the taste and liberality of the parties concerned. It has been built at the sole expence of a youn g Clergyman, resident on the spot (the Rev. Wm.GREENLAW.) The Bishop of Oxford, who is Vicar of the pa rish, has not only testified his entire approbation of the measure, but has also accompanied it by the donation of a hundred pounds. Monday se'nnight, about half-past nine o'clock in the evening, a beautiful meteor was seen to the north of Edinburgh ; it passed with great rapidity in a horizontal line from east to west, throwing, out sparks from behind. It was in appearance about the size of a star of the first magnitude, and of equal brilliance. It disap peared without explosion. TEE SAILOR ON SHORE. The first object of the Seaman, on land4ng, is to spend his money. But his first sensation is the strange firmness of the earth, which he goes treading in a soft of heavy light way, half wag goner and half dancing master, his shoulder rolling, and his feet touching and going the same way,-in short, in which he keeps himself pre pared for all the rolling chances of the vessel when on deck. There is always to us, this aps pearance of lightness of foot, and heavy strength of upper works, in a sailor—and he feels it him self ; he lets his jacket fly open, his shoulders, slouch, and his hair grow long to be gathered into a heavy pig tail! but, when full dressed, he prides himself on a certain gentility of toe, on a white stocking, and a natty shoe, issuing lightly out of the flowing blue trowser. His arms are neutral, hanging and swinging in a curve aloof ; his hands, half open, look as if he had just been handling ropes, and had no object in life but to handle them again. He is proud of appearing in a new hat and slops, with a Belcher handker chief flowing loosely round his neck, and the corner of another out of his pocket. Thus equipped, with pinch-beck buckles in his shoes (which he bought as gold), he puts some tobacco in his mouth, not as if he were going to use it directly, but as if he stuffed it in a pouch on one side, as a pelican does fish, to employ it hereafter ;—and with Bet Mon son at his side, and perhaps a cane or whag hee twisted under his other arm, sallies forth to take possession of all Lubber-land. - He buys every thing that he comes athwart—nuts, ginger bread, apples, shoestrings ; beer, brandy, gin ; buckles, knives, a watch (two if he has money enough) ; gowns and hankerchiefs for Bet and his mother and sisters, dozens of " superfine best men's cotton stockings," dozens of "superfine best women's cotton ditto ;" best good check for ' shirts (though he has too much already) ; infinite needles and thread (to sew his trowsers with some day) ; a footman's laced hat, bear's grease to make his hair grow, (by way of joke); several sticks, all sorts of Jew articles ; a flute (which he can't play and never intendsY ; a leg of mut ton which he carries somewhere to roast, and for a piece of which, the landlord of the Ship makes him pay twice what he gave for the whole ; in short, all that money can be spent upon, which is every thing but medicine gratis, and this he would insist on paying for. He would buy all the painted parrot's on an Italian's head on par- pose to break them, rather than not spend his money. He has fiddles and a dance at the Ship, with oceans of flip and grog, and gives the' blind fiddler tobacco for sweetmeats, and half-a-crown for treading on his toe. Ile asks the landlady with a sigh after her daughter Nance,who first fired his heart with her silk stockings ; and, finding that she is married and in trouble, leaves five l ,crowns for her, which the' old. lady appropriates as part payment for a shilling in' advance. He goes to the Port Playhouse with Bet Monson 7, and a great red handkerchief full of apples, gin gerbread, nuts, fresh beef,. and a bottle of rum ; calls out for the fiddlers and Ittrle Britannia pelts Tom Sykes in the pit,and compares Othello ' to the ship's black cook in his white night cap. When he comes to London, he and some mess mates take a hackney coach full of Bet Monsons, and tobacco pipes, and go through the streets smoking and lolling out of the window. He has ever been cautious of venturing on horseback, and among his other sights in foreign parts, relates with unfeigned astonishment how he has seen the Turks ride ; only says, guarding against the hearer's incredulity, '' they have saddle boxes to hold 'em in, fore and aft, and shovels fur their stirrups." He will tell you how the Chinese drink, and the Negurs dance, and the monkeys pelt you with cocoa nuts ; and how _King Domy would have built him , a mod hut, and made him a Peer of the Realm, if he would have stopped with him and taught him to make trowsers. He has a sister at a " School for Young Ladies,'" who blushes with a mixture of pleasure and shame at his appearance ; and whose confusion he com pletes by slipping four-pence into her hand, and saying out loud that he has " no more coppers" about him. His mother and eldest sister at home doat on all he says and does, telling him,. how ever, that he is a great sea-fellow, and was always wild ever since he was a hop-o'-my-thumb, no higher than the window locker. He tells his mother that she would be a Duchess in Parana boo ; at which the good old portly dame laughs and looks proud. When his. sisters complain of his romping, he says that they are only sorry that it is not the Baker. He frightens them with a masks made after the New Zealand fashion, and is forgiven for his learning. - Their mantle piece is filled by him with shells and sharks' teeth, and when he goes to sea again there is no end of tears, and God bless you's, and home made gingerbread. ALDERMAN WOOD AND MR. ROWS.—Our readers will recollect that the great mine cause of ROWE 7:. WOOD, Which occupied the LORD CHANCELLOR'S attention and our Chancery Re port so many years, was some months since dis missed out of Court, on the Joint application of the parties, who had then agreed to refer their disputes. The parties have since been engaged in discussing their respective cases before the arbitrators, Messrs. G. Hathorn, - D. Maclean, and H. Hunt, Merchants of great intelligence and the highest respectability in the City.— The award has just been made, and the result is —that Alderman Wood's claims against the Plaintiff, Mr. Rowe, and his mine property, which have been variously stated at fifty, forty, and thirty thousand, are declared to be less than one thousand pounds. That Alderman Wood, and his Brothers, Messrs. Philip and Benjamin Wood (who were made parties to the reference) are directed to pay certain proportions of the costs, amounting to about two thirds ; and that Mr. Rowe will be immediately, put into posses sion of this valuable property. SHERBET.—It is not generally known that this beverage, so often mentioned with praise in Arabic poetry, is: neither more nor less than a decoction of oatmeal and sugar,. seasoned, when cold, with rose-water. OLD BAILEY. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY. Yesterday Edward M` Williams was capitally indicted for burglariously entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Samuel Skel ton, jeweller, in Upper King-street, Bloomsbury,.on the night of the 10th of September, and stealing therein jewellery value 300/. _ _ _ Mr. ADOLPHUS, for the prosecution, stated, that on the night of the 10th of September, the prosecutor, who is a very young man, and had recently commenced business, closed his shop, and fastened it as usual. On the following morning lie found it had been broken open, and the stock, consisting of god seals, brooches, pins, keys, pencil cases, and other articles of value were carried off, and the prosecutor had been nearly ruined.— About a month after the robbery was committed the prosecu tor went with the Bow-street Officers to the lodgings of the prisoner, and they found in his wife's ears the tops of a pair of ear-rings, and the drops of them were found in a cupboard. These ear-rings would be identified, by the prosecutor as his property. There were also found a number of black lead pen cils, which had been taken out of some of the stolen pencil cases, and which pencils would be sworn to as the property of the prosecutor. Mr. Skelton and the Police Officers hav ing given evidence to that effect, the prisoner said that he was innocent, and called several witnesses to prove an alibi. They swore that on the night of the robbery (10th September), he was at a club, 'which was held at the White-Horse public house in Marylebone-passage, and that he left the place at half-past ten at night, so much intoxicated, as scarcely to lie able to walk. Some of the witnessess gave him a goad charac., ter. They were strictly cross-examined, and varied greatly. The RECORDER summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty—Death. Niehodemus Dunn, Charles Dunn, Joseph Dunn, Michael Leary, and George llfoss, all lads under 16 years of age, were tried and convicted upon a charge of stealing four geese, the property of Alexander Fletcher, of Homerton. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, SWINDLING. MANsimir-HOUSE._-Yesterday Thomas Redfearn waS brought up on a charge of having by false witnesses obtained from Messrs. Davidson, Francis and Co. pin-makers; No. 33, Gracechurch-street, pins and needles to the amount of 1501. Mr. Francis said,- the prisoner had called during the last quar ter at least 30 times, with requests, bearing the names of the firm' of Baguely and Co. haberdashers, in the Borough, for parcels of pins. Messrs. Baguely were in the habit of dealing with the prosecutors; and the request were so well written, that no suspicion was entertained of the honesty of the messenger.— The fast request was for little more than IL worth of pins ; but he advanced to the bold undertaking of issuing requests for quantities to the amount of 71. 81. and 91. Towards the end of the quarter he stopped in his career, knowing that the quar terly bill would be Sent in, and the fraud would be detected: The event turned out to be just what he expected, Messrs. Da vidson and Francis having received information that they had made a demand of about 1501. upon Baguely and Co. to which they were not entitled, as neither order nor request had been sent for the pins: The prisoner was soon after apprehended: The Warehouseman of Messrt. Davidson and Francis proved the delivery of pins to the value of Si. 17s. lid. to the' prisoner, upon a written request. Mr. Baguelrproved that the request produced was not in:the hand-writing of any of the firm. Had the paper; on the authority of which the' pins had been obtained, been in the form of an order instead of a request, the charge would have been for forgery. The prisoner was fully committed. FORTUNE-TELLER. WORSRIP . -STltEET.—Yesterday one of those' cases came before ROBERT REVILE, Es 9., the presiding Magistrate, Which show the boundless credulity of the hump mind. The officers, Attfield and Vann, stated, that hrconsegnente of information they received the night before, from a young girl, Rachael Carriage, they went to the house of the prisoner, Elizabeth Smith, in Seward-street / Betlinal‘greeti, where they found her in' a room with font young ladies, Who' admitted they were there for the purpose of looking into futurity. Ac cordingly she was taken with several papers in the room, and brought to this office. The papers were filled with mystic figures, by which she calculated the forecoming of events. Rachael Carriage, a simple--loolling gill,. appeared at the bar as a witness against her. She stated that she was a servant, and had heard of the fame of Mrs. Smith, which induced her to go to Seward-street. She paid Is. The room was so crowded with ladies; the witness was obliged to sit on a stool, while the Expoundress of Fate examined the palm of her hand,- and in after deliberating for some time mystic silence, the Decree of Fate was pron'ou'nced to this artless- female , --that she would hereafter become-a thief—that she would steal eight shirts from her master, for which she would be tried and convicted, and would suffer death, for she was born to - be hung. The terrified girl in despondency withdrew from the gloomy forebodings of this Bethnal-green prophetess, and being convinced that an ' ignominious death awaited her, she had no wish to return to her master; but wandered about, and made up her mind to drown herself. From this purpose she was diverted by the lucky interference of her patents / who directed her to this office, where -the charm of a salutary Act of Parliament might break the enchantment of sorcery and soothsaying.- The Magistrate sentenced the prisoner, under the Vagrant Act, to hard labour in the House of Correction for 2 months. The worthy Magistrate cautioned the credulous girl not . to believe one word which was told her by this impostor, for the whole was a trick to get money from the unwary. The poor girl went away saying she would not; but at the same time looking as if she still placed some faith in the horrid decree of the fortune-teller. DISGRACE FtTL OUTRA GE. BOW-STREET.—Yesterday George Willis and Jas. Paden, two dtistmen in the employ of Mr. Dupree, a respectable Pa rish Contractor and. Paviour, underwent an examination before G. R. MirlsnuLL, Esq. the Sitting Magistrate, charged with a gro - ss Outrage, by violently assaulting and wounding a young lady, of the name of Pascoe. It appeared that Miss Pascoe was passing through the Strand on Monday, about half-past seven o'clock, near Hungerford street, at which time the prisoners, riding on one horse at full gallop through the Strand, knocked her down, and rode over her ; this scandalous conduct excited the just indignation of the passengers and inhabitants in the Strand, who. (milled for assist ance. Nichols, with a party of the patrole belonging to the office i who were on duty near the spot, pursued and overtook the prisoners in Dean-street, Westminster, they having taken that course to avoid their pursuers, instead of going to the Cock Inn yard, Haymarket, on Mr. Dupree's business; they did not deny being the authors of, the outrage, and hoped the young lady was not seriously injured. The screams of the young lady brought several humane per. sons to her assistance. She was conveyed in almost an insen sible state to the house of Mrs. M' ally, in Hungerford-street. It was found necessary to send for a surgeon, whose certificate to the Magistrates yesterday reported her to be in such a bad state as not to be able to be removed to give evidence ; one of her front teeth was knocked out, and the whole loosened. From the wounds and bruises she received, it was deemed necessary to apply six leeches to her side • her pelisse, and the whole of her clothes, were entirely spoiled. The prisoners' defence was, that a coachman had flogged the horse, and was the cause of its gallopping at such a furious rate. Mr. Dupree attended, and regretted the accident. He con demned the conduct of the prisoners in both riding on one horse, especially as they had only a halter-bridle., He gave them both good characters, particularly Willis,. who had work ed for him several years, and had never been intoxicated, and conducted himself very well, and offered to bail him. The other had not worked for him so long. They were committed until they should find bail, each him self in 401. and two sureties in 201. each. UNION-MALL.—ATTEMPT OF A BLACK TO STRANGLE lIIS WIFE.—An aged black man, named Bassa, was charged with haYing attempted to put an end to the life of his wife, who is a white woman, by strangling. The prisoner is well known as the " travelling shoe-black," and has been in the habit of attending fairs, by which he has accumulated a consi derable sum of money. Mrs. Bassa stated, that about 12 months ago she unfortu nately married the black, who immediately after transferred his affection to a variety of women. This calamity, combined with others, led her -to drink a little drop more than she used to drink. The black beat her whether she showed to drink or not, and more than once took her to Smithfield to sell her like a beast. She however refused the indignity of the " wisp of straw," and a severe whopping . ..was the consequence. Hunger was also a favourite remedy with the black for the disease of " a wife," and between that and blows she was reduced to extreme misery. On Monday night he came home in a rage, and said, " Sarah, me will kill you—you pawn my shirt and my goods,and you drinky gin till you are drunk, so now I will hang you dead." She then fell on her knees, and begged for mercy, but he seized her, tied a bell rope round her neck with a slip knot, and dragged her about the room for some time. She frequently called out murder,_ but the rope became so tight round her neck, that she was almost strangled, and could' ot draw breath. At length the door was broken open by several persons, and her life was saved. Here the,unfortunate woman exposed her neck, round which there was ndeep 'dark mark, evidently produced by violence of the nature described. The Magistrate expressed surprise at her having chosen such a husband. She replied that she had been completely deceived by the artful promises of the black, who had coaxed her by continually treating her to drink, and taking her to the Surrey Theatre, till he had gained her sec' dons, and sheet lastmarried him at Newington Church. The prisoner, when called upon to account for such conc!area said he never meant to kill her•; all he wished was to frigh t en her, for she got drunk and took his shirt to the paw nbru- t. instead of the washerwoman's, and he never had any cowftrout The Magistrate—Well, but what have you to say strangling your wife ? The Black said he had not hanged her, for she wa s h alive ;he begged that no hurt would be done to him ;, to was sorry for what he had done, but would be very will sell his wife, as was done in his own country. Hew as committed to prison, in default of bail, for the MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DREADFUL OUTRAO. Yesterday a low looking female, named Catherine Rich sprit was brought up, charged with having committed a ferocions s sault upon the person of her husband who at present retnaeti; St. Giles' Workhouse in a dangerous condition.' P that the wretched woman was jealous of her husbano.. „ A i Qn going to bed on Monday night last, when her husban4t; asleep t she made the attack on him, and stabbed him with re• bit of iron rod in a dangerous part of the body.--She i manded until her husband is able to come forward. . cter .
