THE LONDON JOUANALS. EX TRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS, November 29, 1822. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The Paris Papers of Tuesday contain little that h calculated to throw light on the question of piace or war. There is a report of a Treaty of Commerce between England and Spain. The French" Funds are on the rise, a circumstance which can hardly be the result of a stronger be lief in war. The Quotidienne cannot persuade itself that the English Government really wishes to prevent an invasion of Spain, as it has long been the most anti-liberal of all the Governments of Europe. Alas, and so it has, and hence the burdens that now prey on our industry ! If we had only left the Bourbons to their fate, instead of cherishing these vipers at so great an expence, to be afterwards bit by them, what a flourishing nation we might have been this day ! We have paid dearly for the devotion of our Government to Legitimacy. Mina seems to be ridding the North of Spain rapidly of its enemies; and in all probability the war will soon be terminated. — Great alarm is indeed expressed by the friends of the faithful, lest they be ail destroyed before the question of peace or war be determined. [NEW TTMES.I We yesterday received letters from Verona direct, of so late a date as the 18th inst. A Sit ting of Congress was held on Sunday the 17th, and another was to be held the evening of the day on which our advices bore date. The dis cussions of the 17th were understood to have turned exclusively on the affairs of Spain ; and it was believed that conclusive decisions would be formed on that subject the following day. Of course nothing certain was suffered to transpire respecting the course which affairs were taking ; but the prevalent opinion among the Diplomatists who did not actually enjoy" the honours of Sit ting," was in favour of the probability of an armed interposition in behalf of those Spaniards who wish for a Constitution midway between Despotism and Democracy. The first object with the Allies is to put an end to that sanguin ary warfare which now desolates the Spanish dominions in gurope. As to its former ultra marine possessions, we do not hear that there is any intention of touching upon the questions which regard them. [MORNING HERALD.] We have not as yet been able to ascertain any further particulars of the case of Mr. Bowring. We have, however, reason to believe, that the extraordinary circumstances of his arrest and de tention have excited the serious attention of the British Government, and we do not doubt that suitable redress will be insisted on with a spirit and firmness becoming the well-known character of Mr. Canning. ft is, in fact, impossible that such an outrage should not lead to Parliamentary discussion, and it will be a proud triumph to the Right Hon. Secretary for Foreign Affairs to show that he knew how to support the dignity of the country and his own. [THE TistEs.l There is an argument against the invasion of Spain, which grows daily more unanswerable— the rapidity with which that nation is advancing in military and moral poWer. Spain is at this moment far tnore formidable than she was only two months ago; such has been the activity of her new Administration and the increased enthu- Siasm of the people : while, on the side of France, it is manifest that the great body of her population deprecate such a contest as the source to them of mumberless privations, and as a pre lude to public disorders, of which no man can estimate the extent. It would be well, there fore, to reflect in time, that even supposing the Army of Observation had been originally equal to its physical purpose, of marching whitherso ever its leaders might order it, upon the Spanish territory, a change of prospect is brought about, when the passions of the injured nation become hourly more excited on behalf of their Govern- Ment,, and those of the nation which inflicts the injury as eagerly marshalled against it. [BRITISH PRESS.] All sorts of stocks, English and Foreign, ex perienced a rise yesterday. Consols opened at and left off at 821 for the account, and for money at 81 1 . New Spanish left off at 591- : it had been up to 60. The improvement was caused by the arrival of an express in the morn ing from Paris, with favourable accounts respect ing Spain. It is said that Mina has followed up his successes, and completely destroyed the Army of the Faith ; that there have been everal other engagements in various other parts, in which the Constitutionalists have been successful. Every thing in the French capital appeared peaceable. Other private ac counts from Paris state, that a party of the Army of the Faith, in their flight to the French fron. tiers, were met by some French troops belonging to the Army of Observation, who rebuked them for their cowardice—a quarrel ensued, and the French party fired on the Spaniards, at the same time ailing ant, " Vive la Constitution !" It is said the French Government have done all in their power to keep the above a secret from the public. The dispatches from Verona are also stated to be favourable. - . [MORNING POST.] The intelligence in the French Papers to the 27th is specific, though the disquisitions of some of them are not, and the Ultras seem 4o have resumed a great portion of their late warlike ar dour. The public, however, treats their decla mations with just contempt, as it may be seen by the state of the money market ; for whilst their violence increases, the .Funds, instead of sinking, progressively advance, and on Tuesday last closed at 89f. 10c. which is a rise of two per cent. in the space of a very few days. This proceeds from the course which events have taken in the Penin sula ; every defeat experienced by the Rebqls tends to diminish the probability, and indeed the possibility, of a contest between the two countries, and the fury of the war faction once grown harm less, becomes with the people of France an ob ject of ridicule and mockery. It appears in deed, from the statements of the Ultra Papers, themselves, that the cause of Despotism in Spain is entirely lost. Not only has Mina destroyed or taken possession of the most important posts originally occupied by the Insurgents ; not only have they been defeated in every encounter and compelled to transfer the seat of their pre tended Regency to Puycerda, if not to the French territory—symptoms still more fatal to the ultimate success of a cause than military re verses, have appeared amongst them. They have begun to suspect and to betray each other, and those Chiefs, who, under the mask of loyalty, could unrepentingly commit high treason against their King and Country, alarmed at the idea of treason towards themselves, are now retiring in disgust from the contest. IRELAND. AWFUL CATASTROPIIE.—We have been favoured with the perusal of a letter from a gentleman near Kenmare, which gives the following account of a most melancholy and awful occurrence in that neighbourhood :—" I have now to give you an account of a most melancholy event that took place here to-day :—I was going up to Sneem fair about two o'clock, and just near the turn up to the Glebe met Dr. O'Sullivan. He passed me by, and as there was a heavy shower coining on I ran on and got into a house at Drimina. I had not been there more than two minutes when I saw one of the brightest flashes of lightning that I ever noticed, which was immediately fol lowed by a most tremendous clap of thunder ; and in a few minutes- after some one passed by, saying that a man had been killed near the Priest's house. I ran down there and - saw the poor Doctor stretched on the - road. At first I did not know him, his face was so disfigured —his skull over his forehead had been beaten in, as if he had got a blow from a flat stick on the head; his face was swelled and quite red ; his lips were turned black, and the blood seemed driven through his eyes, nose, and mouth; his whiskers and eyebrows were scorched, and he had several marks on his body, and particularly on the inside of his left thigh. His hat, breeches, stockings, and shoes, were torn to atoms, and scattered on the road—in short such a spectacle was never seen. There were three or four per sons with him at the time, but they escaped unhurt. Mr. Brennan and John were twenty yards behind him, but they were so dazzled by the flash that they did not see him when knocked down. The body is in such a state that it will not propably keep for 24 hours. It created such a panic at the fair, that there was not an ap pearance of it in half an hour."—( Kerry Evening Post.) MURDER.—We are sorry to state, that on Tues day night, as Mr. JAMES RYAN, of Kile, near Thurles, was on his return home from his 'daughter's, he was waylaid, and barbarously mur dered. Mr. Ryan was above 80 years of age, and an opulent and highly respectable farmer, very much esteemed .—( Clonnzel herald, Nov. 24.) On Saturday night William Collins, of Boon, barony of Coonagh, in this county, returning from the fair of Cappawhite, was murdered near his own house. The perpetrators are not disco vered, though the Police are on the alert. An inquest was held on the body ou Sunday by the Rev. C. P. Coote, Michael Furnell, and John D. White, Esqrs.—(Limerick Chronicle, N0v.23.) CITY BUSlN,ESS.—Yestertlay the LORD MAYOR proceeded in state from the Mansion House to Guildhall, for the purpose of receiving the Re port of the Sheriffs upon the result of the Elec tion for Bridgemaster. Upon his Lordship's ar rival at Guildhall, the Sheriffs made their Report, that the Election had fallen on Lewis Lewis; his Lordship thereupon proceeded to the Hustings, accompanied by several of the Aldermen, and dissolved the Common hall. He afterwards held his first Court of Aldermen, at which the thanks of the Court were unanimously, voted to the late Lord Mayor, and various ordinary business was also transacted. The late Lord Mayor, attended by the Recorder and the City Solicitor, went to the Court of Exchequer to deliver in and swear to the accounts of the Mayoralty just expired.— Upon handing in the accounts, which a domestic calamity prevented Alderman Maguey from pre -lenting on the day selected for the purpose, the Recorder stated to the Barons of the Ex chequer that the late Lord Mayor felt the ut most gratification in having in his Mayoralty had the honour of waiting upon his most Gracious Majesty as Conservator of the River Thames to the limits of the City jurisdiction, when the King was proceeding upon his visit to his Northern do minions. The authority of the Chief Magistrate over the river had existed from a period so distant as not to be reached by the memory of man ; but there never was an occasion upon which that au thority furnished matter of exultation so much as upon the occasion to which he alluded. It was a proud spectacle to behold the infinite mul titudes with which the shores of the river, and the river itself, were crowded, to witness and ' hail the presence of their Sovereign amongst them ; and it must be a peculiar satisfaction to the Royal mind to know that fewer accidents occurred on that day than upon occasions when the public at tention and curiosity wereattracted but slightly in comparison with the immense attraction of that day. That such uncommon facilities had been rendered was owing to the activity of Alderman Magney, who had been unremitting in his efforts for fhe prevention of confusion, and the preserva ' Lion of the public peace. The return of his Ma jesty to the Metropolis gave Aldermen Maguey a second opportunity of exerting himself in the capacity of Conservator of the River, and the same zeal and activity were exercised. The Re corder concluded with a compliment to the late L)rd Mayor for his conduct during Ids Mayoralty, the Barons bowed ; and the Accounts having been sworn to, the City procession departed. EOR,THE SUN, MR. EDITOR—From the spirit of liberality evinced by your Paper at all times, but by none more so than on the late memorable one respect ing the Subscription for the suffering and famish- , ing Peasantry' of Ireland, I am induced to ad dress you on the present occasion. Born amongst a people whose romantic attachment to their native country forms one of the most prominent features in their character, I should not pay my self so poor a compliment as to assume any exclusive honour from the part which I have taken in endeavouring to relieve (or at least to alleviate) their calamities ; and had it pleased fortune to have bestowed upon me a portion of those fa vours which it was the prerogative of my birth and station in society to have expected, I should rather perish than have become the herald of my own exertions (however great) to relieve their unparalleled misfortunes. Having had very early, as well as very accurate, information (in the beginning of the present year) respecting the distressed state of Ireland, and certainty of the peasantry of that delightful country being ex posed to the ravages of pestilence and famine, unless instantaneous and ample relief were afford ed, I addressed letters to various high official characters on the subject, but not receiving any satisfactory answers from them, I addressed let ters to the Marquis Conyngham, and the Earl of Blessinton ; from them I received most kind and satisfactory answers; and to them I proposed raising by public subscription at least one hun dred thousand pounds within one month for the peasantry of Ireland. Not satisfied however that my duty was wholly performed by the communications I had made, I applied through that part of the public press un der my own immediate controul to the well known charitable feelings of the people of England ; and though during a period of several months it was my painful and severe task to labour alone,yet I had at length the heartfelt gratification to find that I had succeeded in fanning the almost expiring em bers of English benevolence for Irish misery into a glorious flame, which triumphantly spread from one end of the country to the other, contributing more to the glory of England and to the tran quillity of Ireland than any event which has for many years taken place. And I beg leave to add, that as I stipulated for no remuneration, and sought not to promote any private interest of my own, so had I no object in view but to pro mote the tranquillity of my native and 'the glory of my adopted country, and to consolidate the United honour, happiness, and interest of both. —I am not so presumptuous as to arrogate to my self the exclusive merit of ameliorating the suf ferings of the unfortunate country whose miseries my unceasing exertions were directed to relieve ; I cannot, however, suppress my full conviction, that one other suggestion also of mine (through the medium of the Morning Post of the Bth of May last, to which Paper I take the liberty to refer your Readers), and which with pride and pleasnre I observed was so highly approved 'by his Majesty, and by his Government, as to be thought deserving of a place in his Majesty's last Speech from the Throne ; I allude to the Charity Sermons (recommended by me to be preached) in all Churches and Chapels, of every religious denomination, throughout the United Kingdom, and by which (exclusive of many other and sig nal advantages) the immence sum of nearly three hundred thousand pounds has been obtained, and that the spirit of kindness displayed by his Majesty's English and Scotch subjects, and the liberality which the Army and Navy manifested on that occasion for their Irish Brethren in dis tress, and the Christian Spirit which the Protes tant Clergy and Laity evinced for their Catholic fellow-subjects in the hour of necessity, have done more to subdue the spirit of disunion, anti in subordination, and to unite the diffe rent countries by feelings of mutual good-will and attachment, than could have been effect ed by the application of tens of hundreds of thousand pounds in any other mode. It now, Sir, becomes my most painful task to be com pelled (through absolute necessity) to state what • my situat ion has become, in consequence of my unceasing exertions for nearly ten months past in the service of Ireland. having gone to considerable expence , in carry ing on a widely extended correspondence through out all parts of the United Kingdom—to all the London bankers (the admiration and astonish ment of the universe for their boundless acts of charity,) and from whom, as well as several of the Scottish and Irish bankers, I received the handsomest letters (now in my possession)—hav ing expended various small sums in advertising and in giving publicity to so desirable an object — I not only expended my last shilling, but I also incurred some trifling debts; and on Wednesday morning, thelBth of 'September last, I was ar rested, and taken from my bed at an early hour to a house of confinement, from thence to that wretched abode, White Cross-street Prison ! where I was compelled to rest on an iron bed stead, with straw for my bed and a common horse-rug to cover me, and from that horrid place I have been removed to the King's Bench Prison, the rules of which have been most kindly and gratuitously granted to me by the Marshal. Such is the reward I have experienced for being the original proposer of a plan which has proved so truly honourable to England and to Scotland, and so highly beneficial to Ireland. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient, HUGH DOHERTY. P. S.—l beg leave to refer you (or your read ers) for a confirmation of the above statement, to James Window, Esq. 8, Craig's-court, Char ing-cross, at whose house all communications sent (postage free) will be received, and forwarded to me. A new Theatre is immediately to be erected at Tewkesbury, at the expence of twenty indivi duals, who• are to be joint proprietors. In some parts of Cumberland and the adjacent counties, second crops of apples and gooseberries have been gathered. RICHMOND. Richmond received its present name by Royal command in the reign of HENRY the SEVENTH, who was Earl of Richmond, in Yorkshire. In Doomsday Book it is not mentioned ; the Har leian Manuscript, in the British Museum, calls it Syenes ; the name was afterwards spelt Schenes, Schene, and Sheen. Some writers, from the latter word, which signifies bright or splen did, have supposed it to be expressive of the magnificence of the ancient Palace. It is not certain when the manor-house at Sheen first be came a Royal Palace. A manuscript in the Bri tish Museum mentions it as having heen the house of Henry 1., who granted it, with the manor, to the Belets. From that time, till towards the close of the reign of Edward the First, it was the property of subjects. Edward the First and Se cond resided there. The former Monarch treat ed with the Scottish Nobility at Sheen, after the death of William Wallace. Edward the Third closed a long and victorious reign at his Palace at Sheen, June 21, 1377. Queen Anne, his suc cessor's consort, died there in the year 1394. The King was so much affected at her death, that he abandoned the Palace, and caused it to be thrown down. Henry V. restored the Palace to its for mer magnificence. Henry VII. held a grand tournament at his manor at Richmond, in 1492, when Sir J.Parker,in controversy with H.Vaughan for right of coat of armour, was killed at the first course. In the year 1499, the King being then at his Palace, it was set on fire by accident; most of the old buildings were consumed. His Majesty immediately caused it to be rebuilt, and gave it the name of Richmond. Charles V., Emperor of Germany, was lodged at Richmond in the year 1523. When Cardinal Wolsey gave the lease of Hampton Court to the King, his Majesty permitted him to reside in Richmond Palace', a privilege of which he frequently avail ed himself. Hall says, that " when the common people, and especially such as had been servants to Henry VII., saw the Cardinal keep house in the Manor Royal of Richmond, which that Monarch So highly esteemed, it was a marvel to hear how they grudged, saying, So, a butcher's dogge doth lie in the manor of Richmond." — Queen Elizabeth was a prisoner at Richmond for a short time during the reign of her sister Mary ; Queen Elizabeth ended her days at Rich mond Palace, on the 24th of March, 1603. In the Autumn of that year, the Court of Exche quer, the Court of Chancery, and other public Courts, were removed to Richmond, on account of the plague.—ln the year 1550 two splendid nuptial ceremonies were celebrated in the Priory, in the presence of King Henry the Eighth ; Lord Lisle being married to a daughter of the Duke of Somerset, and Sir Robert Dudley, afterwards Earl of Leicester, to Amy, daughter of Sir John Robsart. The Earl's son, Robert Dudley, whom he had by Lucy Douglas Sheffield, was born at Sheen in 1573, and cencealed there with great secresy, to prevent the Countess of Essex, to whom Leicester was then a suitor, from knowing of his birth. It is generally supposed that the Earl was married to Lucy Douglas, though her son in vain endeavoured to establish his legiti macy before the Star Chamber ; it was, never theless, afterwards avowed in the patent by which his widow Alice was created a Duchess in the reign of Charles the First. Sir Robert Dud ley, disappointed in the hope of proving his legitimacy, went to the Continent, where he was patronized by the house of Medici, who were amply rewarded by his projecting the free port of Leghorn. He resided many years in their Court, and in that_of the Emperor, who having created him a Duke, he assumed the title of the Duke of Northumberland. This remarkable, person died in the neighbourhood of Florence, and lies buried at Boldrane. Antony Wood (after enumerating his manifold accomplishments) says, that he was the first who taught a dog to sit, in order to catch patridges. Sir William Temple had a lease of the Priory, and in the year 1680 he began to reside wholly at Sheen, having retired from public business. After a few years he gave up his house to his son, and went himself to Moor Park, in Surrey. Upon the ar rival of the Prince of Orange in England, that place being thought unsafe, as lying between the two armies, Sir William returned to Sheen. About this time Swift was taken into his family as an amanuensis. King William, who had known Sir 'William Temple on the Continent, and had a great esteem for his talents and character, frequently visited him at this place, and pressed him to become his Secretary of S tate. When his pa tron was lame with the gout, Swift usually attended his Majesty iii his walks round the gardens. The King is said upon one of these occasions to have offered to make him a captain of - horse, and to have taught him to cat asparagus in the Dutch manner. Here Swift became acquainted with the beautiful and accomplished Stella, who was born at this place, and whose father was Sir Wm. I Temple's steward. Sir Joshua Reynolds, Presi dent of the Royal Acadgmy, had a house upon Richmond Hill. Thomson, the celebrated poet, was buried at Richmond. The house in which he resided was purchased after his death by Geo. Ross, Esq. who, out of veneration to his memory, forebore to pull it down, but enlarged and im proved it at the expellee of 9,0001. A theatre was opened at Richmond in 1756 by Theophilus Gib ber, who, to avoid the penalties of the Act of Par went against unlicensed comedians, advertised it as 66 cephalic snuff warehouse." The following is one of his advertisements Cibber and Co. snuff-merchants, sells, at their warehouse on Rich mond-hill, a most excellent cephalic snuff, which, taken in moderate quantities (in an evening par ticularly), will not fail to raise the spirits, clear the brain, throw off ill-humours, dissipate the spleen, enliven the imagination, exhilarate the mind, !mprove the eye, give joy to the heart, and greatly invigorate the mind and understanding. Mr. Cibber has also opened at the aforesaid warehouse (late called the theatre, on the hill) an histronic academy for the instruction of young persons of genius in the art of acting ; and pur poses, for the better improvement of such pupils, frequently, with his assistants, to give public re hearsals, without hire, gain, or reward."
