'rift LONDON JOUttNAL:I. PAILY EXTRACTS FROM TUC MORNING PAPERS, January 9., 182'2. [MORNING POST.] By the Manchester Packet from the Leeward Islands , we have received Letters from Tortola to the 2d November. The crops on that Island as sumed a very flourishing appearance, and the )harvest was expected to be more abundant ,than in any year since 1811. His Excellency the Governor had, at the solicitation of the Inhabi tants, as well as of the Council, issued a Procla mation, allowing the Importation of Lumber in British ships of every description, into that Is larul, for the space of six months from the 22d of October. By letters under date of the sth December, fiam_Crotaou, Teneriffe, we learn the arrival at Scrutabrug, in that Island, of a small French squadron, whose intended object was said to .be the pursuit. of the Pirates cruizing, under the in.- Fl3; - rectional Flag, against the commerce of Spain. A short time previous to the arrival of the French .•.,: ; 11adron a similar drnatnent, under the Ameri ca:l lag, had appeared off Teneritle, also cruising pzainst the Pirates. At Crotaou, on the 15th November, they had experienced the ravages of a dreadful water-spout, which had inundated the country round the Villa of Crotaou, and in the port itself had destroyed many wine -stills, houses and several lives. What renders this circum stance peculiar is, that the whole Archipelago of Islands are suffering under a dreadful drought, rain having fallen once only at Teneriffe and Canary, and not at all in the more Northern Island's of Lancerota and Funtaventura, so that the hopes of the crops of corn and Barilla are entirely distinguished.—(lbid.) [BRITISH PRESS.] During the last week of holidays there have been , various reports calculated to depress the funds, and as no real money business could be transacted, and not many of the steady operators attending, the few who did attend appear to hare had pretty much their own way ; but if we may judge from the parties themselves, it is probable that next week, when the dividends will be in the course of payment, stocks will recover much, if not the whole of their late value, especially as money is easy, and there are very strong rea sons to believe the present account, which is for the 18th inst., will turn out a Bear account, and the parties who have sold will be found weaker than the parties who have bought. The late de pression in the French funds is, some intelligent persons consider, not attributable to political feelings, but simply to the failure of one or two large speculators in France on their settling day. [MORNING HERALD.] A Morning Cotemporary, in his leading ar ticle :of yesterday, upon the President's speech, has fallen into a material error. lie says, that the expenditure of the United States had ex ceeded the income ; but that is by no means the fact : for, oil the contrary, the income had ex ceeded the expenditure. Divesting the state ment exhibited by the President of the sums either in the Treasury on the Ist January or on the 30th September, it will be seen that the re venue amounted to the sum of 16,219,197 dol lars, and the expenditure to 15,645,288 dollars: now, if the one item be deducted from the other, the income will have exceeded the expenditure by 573,909 dollars, which, at 4s. 6d. the par price of the dollar, is equal to 129,1301. sterling.— .As the Morning Paper in question professes to be a commercial paper, we are much surprised that it should have so commi►ted itself. The prin cipal of the United States' Debt has certainly increased, as we shewed yesterday, in the sum of 346,1121. English money ; but, on the other band, there appears to have been a surplus in th Treasury on the 30th of September to the amount of 398,784/. The 346,1121. increased principal of debt, therefore, being deducted from the 398,7841. surplus, still leaves a balance in favour of the income of the United States, in com parison with the total of its expenditure and in creased principal debt of 52,6721. sterling.— The writer, doubtless, must have merely glanced 1):.s eye over the President's speech ; and be cause he perceived that an addition had been made to the debt of nearly live millions of dol lars, he must have supposed that the expenditure had exceeded the income by so much ; but in the very same paragraph of the Speech, he ought to have noticed the _cancelling of so many millions of debt, paying a 6 per cent. interest. In fact, this is the most singular part of the Speech, and much.the best worth an Englishman's attention ; being upon the system which every body can un derstand, of borrowing 1001. in money, and agree ing to pay 51. per annum for the use of it ; but a2p!) in; the lOU so borrowed, to the paying off aunarea pound Gent, preciously t.ontrauteil, -end for which the contractors had obtained a 61. per cent. interest. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The attempts which have been made by means al the most exaggerated and ridiculous statements of cruelties committed by the Greeks against their Turkish oppressors, to deprive them of the sympathy- of a humane and enlightened public, aAe, we perceive, treated with merited contempt. Indeed coming, as these statements did, imme diately after a cool recommendation to extermi nate the Greeks, that is, to exterminate five mil lions of people, in order to ensure the tranquillity of their two millions of oppressors, whose conduct towards them was even, with an unparalleled as surance, termed kind and liberal, it was impos sible they could excite any other feeling than that of unmixed indignation. But the Greeks have enemies who do not go the length of recommending absolute extermination, or calling sympathy with suffering Christians fanaticism, but who yet labour insidiously to obtain credit far the exaggerated accounts of their cruelties, and thence arrive at the most absurd and unjust conclusions. 44 Because we condemn," say they, " the savage ferocity of the Greeks, is it to be 4itpposed that we would perpetuate the despo- tism under which they have so long groaned ?" What would they then ?" A counnon, but a very foolish answer," say they, " to the com plaint of extraordinary barbarity is, that it is the result of bad government. If we say the mas sacre of Tripolizza is horrible, or the burning of the Sheas alive in Ireland, or the break ing open a prison in Spain to murder a Priest, or the parallels to all these, and a thousand other atrocities in the course of the French Revolution, we are told, with a triumphant air, that the Governments of all these countries were bad, and that those bad Governments were the sole and necessary cause of the vices of their subjects. The fact is not so, strictly speaking, in any one case ; but if it were, it would lead to a very opposite result in practice from that which it is meant to recommend. The Greeks were a very corrupt and degenerate race long before the Turks ever came into Europe. They have cer tainly not been improved by their fierce and fa natical conquerors ; but if they owed all their present vices to the Turks, that circumstance would not render them in the least degree more capable of rational liberty. It matters little who made them deceitful, vindictive, fanatical or ignorant ; if they really are so, they are but ill fitted to establish for themselves an enlightened Constitution. Under the auspices of greater and wiser Powers their condition may, and we trust will, be greatly meliorated but absolute inde pendence, we fear, iu their present state of bar barism, they can neither establish nor maintain." [NEW TIMES. The Marquis Wellesley has been received as Lord Lieutenant in Ireland with all that enthu siasm which his appointment was so well calcu lated to call forth. On his great talents much reliance is naturally placed, for the adoption of a policy calculated to tranquillise' and secure that important country. The Protestants and Ca tholics of Dublin rivalled each other in their testimonies of esteem for the Noble Marquis, and each seemed to regard the nomination of an Irish man to this high office as an augury of most fa vourable import to the real good of the country. — War it appears has been formally declared by Turkey and Persia, and the fanaticism of the Ja nissaries has been shewn in repeated massacres of unoffending Christians. Even the residence of the English Ambassador has not been held sacred by this ungovernable rabble. Every new piece of intelligence from this quarter seems to prove but the more distinctly the necessity of a joint interposition by all the great Powers of Europe, to compel that obedience to the laws of nature and nations, which otherwise, we fear, is not to be expected from the spontaneous inclinations of the Porte. [THE TIMES.] If the Special Commission at Limerick had done no more than suspend, though but for a short interval, the course of violence and insub ordination, it would still, by that suspension, have effected a considerable good. There might be thus afforded room for the public Authorities to look round them, and a breathing time for the resident Gentlemen in the southern counties, dur ing which they could hardly fail to occupy them selves with a consideration of such means of pre venting a recurrence of the state of anarchy, or of providing some alleviation of it, should it un fortunately return, as were attainable by a judi cious policy on the one hand, and by personal in fluence over the wretched country-people on the other. That such a check has been administered to the perpetration of crime, seems to be the opinion of persons in the neighbourhood of Lime rick ; but, unhappily, this salutary consequence is of very confined operation. It extends no farther than to the west of that county, where no outrage, they say, has been committed since the Court began to sit. In other quarters, the at tacks upon life and property are neither mitigated in character, nor diminished in number. At 4 o'clock on Christmas-day—that day on which the hearts of men in these Christian countries are wont to be most powerfully actuated by the combined impulses of religious and of social sensibility—a deliberate and malignant murder was perpetrated on a poor creature of the name of Stock. Two ruffians dragged him out of his hut, and shot him through the heart at the entrance of it. The cir cumstances in which the unhappy man was placed were such as to connect this assassination with the general system of obstructing the course of justice, which has caused the death of so many other vic tims. Stock had himself been implicated in the confederacy, and was watched by the police, the object of whose visits was mistaken by the mur derers, who suspected him of giving information, and thus silenced him for ever.—Another mur der of a most atrocious kind is related by the Dublin Evening Post, on the authority of a Cork Paper, from which the account is taken. A whole family, of the name of VI . hitestone, five in number, were burnt alive at Charleville on the 23d ult. (Sunday week). An inquest was about to be held, and one individual v. a. in cubtudy ; but no facts, throwing light upon the motives or agents of this horrible barbarity--equal in nature, though not in extent of mischief, to the destruc tion of the Shea family—have yet transpired.— Nor is the catalogue of lesser crimes—bad enough, but trivial in comparison with the above enormities—exhausted. On the same day, the c23d ult., the house of a Mr. Wrixon, at Ehnvale (near Charleville, we believe), was attacked by an armed banditti. The ruffians, owing to a fall of rain-- - unfavourable, no doubt, to the use of their fire-arms— were compelled to retire to some distance, while the family re mained all night at their post. The details, as those also of some further acts of violence, are given in another column. I t will be seen that the counties both of Cork and Kerry are afflicted by these visitations. Some idea was entertained that the men already under sentence, would, in the hope of mercy being extended to them, make such appeals to their criminal associates as might lead to a large surrender of arms; or if this ap plication should fail, would inform against num- I bers not yet within the toils of justice. Lail, night, owing to indisposition, Miss STE PIIENS was not able to perform at Covent-G ardei Theatre, as had been announced. 'ROM mr. LONDON GAZETTE, lAN. 1. Dutr.lN CASTLE, DEC, 29, 1821. The Marquess Wellesley, who embarked at Holyhead, at ten o'clock, A.M. the 28th instant, arrived in the harbour of Howth at five o'clock the same evening ; and this day his Lordship, upon entering Dublin, was received by the Lord Mayor, Alder men, Sheriff, and Commons of the City of Dublin. His Lordship, attended by a squadron of dragoons, proceeded to the Castle, and, the Council having assembled at two o'clock, was introduced in form to his Excellency Earl Talbot, who re ceived him sitting under the canopy of state in the Presence Chamber, from whence a procession was made in the usual state to the Council Chamber. The Council sitting, his Lord ship's commission being read, and the oaths administered to him, his Lordship was invested with the collar of the Most Il lustrious Order of Saint Patrick, and received the sword of state from the Earl Talbot. Il is Excellency afterwards repaired to the Presence Chamber, and received the compliments of the Nobility and other persons of distinction, upon his safe arrival, and taking upon him the Government of Ireland.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.—This Theatre was opened last night for the delivery of a series of Lectures on the interesting and instructive science of Astronomy, by a Gentleman of the name of GooDAcaE. The Lecture was merely introductory, and the funds accruing from it were to be devoted to the aid of the charitable Insti tution, entitled " The Refuge for the Destitute." Although it did not coincide with the plan of the Lecturer to display all the means of which he is in possession, to do justice to his theme, such as he permitted his audience to view were sufficient to establish this Gentleman's pretensions ade quately to discharge the duties of the task which he has imposed on himself. lie took a very able and comprehensive view of the antiquity of the science, and followed the history of its rise and progress up to the state of it at the present time. The affinity of this science to many others, toge ther with its importance and necessity as the foundation of knowledge of a higher description, were ably pointed out. Its eminent utility in unfolding to the mind an idea of the immeasurable power and wisdom of the great CREAToit of the Universe, by a survey of this most splendid part of his works, was dwelt upon with impressive energy. The diagrams, and auxiliary scenes and mathematical instruments used by Air. Goon- ACRE for the illustration of his text, are all ex cellent and appropriate. They have the merit also of being original, having been all constructed under his own directions. The closing scene, displaying the relative motions of the ►i'lanets of our System, is particularly interesting. These Lectures may be said to have commenced at an appropriate period of the year, the Earth being this day in the perihelion Of its orbit, or at the nearest point to the Sun which its annual course in the Heavens permits it to attain.
