'I'JLE LONDON JOURNALS, , EXTRACTS •FROM Tlll DULY MORNING PAPERS, May 14, 1822.: [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We understand great anxiety prevails in the Ministerial circles respecting the fate of Mr. Warre's motion this day, relative to the appoint ment of Mr. Henry Watkins 'William Wynn (the brother of Mr. Charles Wynn, who now fills the situation of President at the India Board, and who is supported there by his friends, Fremantle and Dr„Phillimore.) The salary of this Gentle man is to be 3,9001. per annum, with a Secretary at SQOI. per annum, and 1,5001. cash as outfit. Notwithstanding the whole sum stated for the previous year is, for the same services, 1,5951. How shall we designate this ? Is it a job ? Re ward for services already performed. Or to be performed ? Is it economy or waste of public' money ? Is it to be defended. and carried by immense majorities ? Or shall we have the pleasure of announcing to-morrow that it has met - with the fate of the Postmaster ? An endeavour is now making to play off the old trick, by stat ing, that if the Country Gentlemen will not sup port this measure, the Ministers will absolutely go out immediately, for such economY they will not sanction. Public attention is consequently very much alive; and we shall soon learn who those Members are that will support such ex.. penditure. [MORNING POST.] The great work of Humanity in behalf of the famishing Irish Peasantry continues to go on with the most heart-gladdening prosperity, as will be . seen by the splendid addition to the Sub scriptions with which our columns are this day adorned.--(See the front page of Tni StiN.) 7 --- In all the Parishes of Westminster the recom mendation of the Grand Jury (which we yester day had the happiness to announce), will be cheerfully attended to; and all the Theatres are about to follow the example of the Manager of Drury-lane, hi giving the receipts of One night's performance in aid of this most laudable purpose. Charity Sermons will be preached in most of the Churches and Chapels on Sunday next ; and throughout the whole of the Kingdom, we find by the provincial Papers received yesterday, meetings are to be held on the same humane and interesting occasion. - The Irish Journals which arrived yesterday furnish many additional parti culars of the dreadful state of famine to which many of the counties are now reduced. It is added, however, that the exertions of Govern ment are unceasing for the relief of the distressed, and that they have already purchased one thou sand tons of potatoes, which are to be delivered with promptitude at the several ports in the neighbourhood of which the scarcity is most, severely felt. [MORNING HEttALD.I We yesterday received accounts from the South of Ireland, by. the Irish papers and by private letters. Nothing could be more deplorable : than:the state of the poor, suffering alike from hanger and contagion. The heart sickens at. such a picture of human wretchedness as these accounts convey. The. news of the prompt. and, most generous relief supplied by ,the English suhscription had not yet reached them ; and we are shocked to perceive by accounts from Cork . , that the sale of potatoes brought into that har bour was retarded, in this agonizing crisis, by some petty municipal charges, which were resisted by the masters of the vessels.—The.existence and unexampled progress of the subscripiion must be known, and we have . no doubt that the next arrivals will bring, the expression of the grateful. hearts of the sufferers to those who have stepped between them and the horrors of their situation. The subscription goes on, not only in the metropolis, but throughout the country, with a quickness and liberality which woUld render it indecorous to suggest a single word in the way of encouraging it: [BRITISH PRES3:I The distress in the south of Ireland appears. unhappily, to have been greater and more exten sive than it had been at first supposed. It is stated in a Cork Paper, that the wretched pea sants have, in some instances, experienced so poignantly the pressure of famine, that they have dug up the seed potatoes which they had pre viously planted. It is very remarkable that this state of extreme distress prevails most strongly in those parts of Ireland which. are particularly remarkable for their ordinary fertility. The coun ties of Limerick, Clare, and Cork are the most deeply afflicted with the present calamity, but un fortunately these counties by no means mark its limits. .Sligo, Mayo, and Galway also experience a large share of distress, but the generous sym pathy which has been manifested • for their sof-, ferings, not only, in London, but also in various parts of the country, will, we trust, quickly afford them substantial relief. We find that the Committee who have the management .of the splendid Subscription which has been raised in the metropolis, and which already amounts to at least 26,0001., have offered premiums of 10s. a ton for the importation of potatoes into certain specified harbours of Ireland ; and we also under stand that the Ministers have contracted with persons for the immediate supply of one thousand tons of potatoes, to be delivered within the most distressed districts. [NEw TIMES.,) Yesterday another. Meeting was held at the South Se,a. House, to deliberate on the plan of taking the Government Annuities ; when, in consequence of thefullo explanations that were given, the Proprietors evidently came to the same conclusion which we stated yesterday, namely, that the South Sea Company would best consult their own interest by takin g the contract. Accordingly, they authorised the Covet:tor and Deputy Governor to treat with Government for the whole; Their next resolution, we apprehend, will be likely to lead, in effect, to the other consequences which we anticipated ; namely, that th(; various insurance offices and other weal- thy individuals will participate in the benefits of the plan ; .for a, capital is to be raised for this special purpose, in addition to the existing capital of the Company. Of course the old proprietors have the option of subscribing or not, and the amount not taken by them will be open to the Great Companies and to the Public gene - rally.— The scheme was so greatly approved, that South Sea Stock immediately advanced ; and we understand that no less than 150,000/. was yesterday sold at an advance of Three per Cent. The amount of Stock and Money already subscribed is said to be near a Million and a Half ; and little doubt is entertained but that the whole will be completed by to morrow) when another interview , between Mi nisters and the Directors of the Company will take place. A Million Sterling we are informed is the sum at present proposed to be left open for public inscription. Consols for the Account opened yesterday at 781-, and as a large purchase or two was made towards the close of the market, they rose to 781, buyers, at which price the market closed. [Tile TIMES.] On the 4th of last January, that is, at the be ginning of the present year, there was a current rumour, of which the following account is given in The Times of that date : " A report has got into circulation, and we are C‘ apt to think it springs from Ministerial guar..' " ters, that the Grenvilles have been introduced ‘ C into Administration, in order to beat down ‘C the .Country Gentlemen, and to resist re " trenchment. We hear of Ministerial peo " ple' giving their heads a consequential and " deep.meaning nod upon this subject, joined 6 ' to expressions such as follow We shall cc see what is to be done with all the motions " for retrenchment; you will not - have it all " your own way now ;' and other expressions to " that effect. All that we can say at present " upon the subject is, that if such be indeed the " object of the accession of the Grenvilles to the " Ministry, it is what we in England may call " another Holy Alliance, of which the fruits.will " be bitter enough."—( The Times,Jan.4,lB2.) Such were the rumours at the beginning of the present year, and such were our sentiments upon them. On this very evening, then, is the cause between the Grenvilles and the country Gentlemen to be tried ; and so much we will venture to say at the beginning of our remarks, that the integrity of the latter has fair play given it. It is not to be put to the test upon a doubt ful point. It has to decide between flat roguery and plain honesty. For our own parts, we re joice that the matter upon which public anxiety has been so long 'suspended is brought to this issue,—that it is a mere contest between the Grenvilles (respecting the interests of the Gren villes, too) and the independent part of the [louse of Commons. Every thing, therefore, is favourable 'to public virtue, to the suc cess of the country, and the cause of humanity.— The persons whose interests are the subject of dispute are disliked universally ; the job which they are intent upon carrying obviously ini quitous; and the country is in a situation to bear Ito such wrong;' no, nor any wrong that commits farther plunder upon the helpless cultivators of its soil. Their cause is now in the hands of their Representatives : so that, if they fail on this oc casion, the nation seems to have arrived at that excess of - evil which must correct itself in a way hat feeling men deprecate and dread. PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. THE SLAVE TRADE.--Furtlier Papers relating to the Slave Trade have been laid before the House of Com mons. They are too long for insertion, or even for an abstract to be given. The first series consists of correspondence with France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United States ; and the second, of correspondence with his Majesty's Commissioners at Sierra Leone, Havannah, and Surinam. With the French Government, the urgent applications of the British Secretary of State, and Ambassador, do not appear to have been peculiarly successful, for the correspondence concludes with a letter of Lord Londonderry, dated the 26th of March, 1822, enumerating a formidable list of offences by French vessels, and concluding with an injunction to Sir Charles Stewart to urge the propriety of following in France the examples set by the Spanish Cortes, who have made it felony - for a native of that country to be engaged in the Slave Trade. ‘ The correspondence with the Netherlands concludes with a letter from Lord Clancarty, in which he states that he had, on the 21seof March, a most satisfactory conference with the Mi nister for the Colonies, who admitted that, by - the treaty be tween Great Britain and the Netherlands, the Slave Trade was entirely forbidden to the subjeCts of both countries, and declared that the measures which he had taken, under the i orders of the King, were such as to ensure the full execution of the treaty.. In the correspondence with Portugal, the Marquis of Londonderry - proposes—" that a declaration should be issued ' in the spirit of the treaty by the powers concerned, purport ing,' that' if there should be a proof that a slave or ..::,laves had been, for the purpose of illegal traffic, put on board a vessel in the course of the voyage in which she was- cap tu'red; such vessel night justifiably be detained by the crui sers; and finally be condemned by the Commissions." In the correspondence with Spain we observe nothing of import ance except the article of the criminal code already noticed. That with the United States relates principally to the esta blishment of a mutual right of search. Dispatches have been sent to the Governments of Denmark, Sweden, and Holland, complaining of facilities afforded to the Slave Trade in, the islands of St. Thomas, St. Bartholomew, and St. Eustatias. The Rev. CHARLES THORPE, Rector of Ryton, in the county of Durham, has generously inte— rested himself amongst his parishioners for the, cause of humanity in Ireland. He collected 151. 11s., and paid the same into the Bank of Sir M. W. RIDLEY, Bart. and Co., at Newcastle, a few days ago. Let us hope this good beginning in the pious, work of charity will, be promptly fol lowed by others in the North. Mr. PERES, the rich Jew of St. Peterslnirgh, formerly Farmer-General of all the Beer and Bre whouses in Russia, has recently become a convert to the Lutheran religion ; he at the same time entered into the holy state of matrimony, although considerably advanced in years. The Hon. Colonel Sir FRANCIS BURTON, Lieu tenant Governor of Canada, and brother to the Marquis CONYNGISAM, sailed for Quebec on the Ist inst. Prior to his leaving town his MAJESTY was graciously pleased to nominate him one of the Guelphic Knights, and to confer on Mica, the 'Star of the Order. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 13. JUDGMENTS. Tilt KING V. WILLIAM MARSDEN. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL prayed the Judgment of the Court upon the defendant, who, at the Sittings after last Term, was found guilty of having conspired, with others, to procure from the East India Company's warehouse a large quantity of Nux Vomica as for exportation, but which was not ultimately exported. , The defendant also pleaded guilty to a similar in dictment respecting a large quantity of pepper. Mr. JERVIS this day addressed the Court in mitigation of punishment. Mr. Justice BAYLEY pronounced the sentence of the Court —lmprisonment, for the first offence, twelve months in Cold bathfields House of Correction, and a fine of 10001. ;—for the second, six months imprisonment in the same prison, and a further fine of 5001. and imprisonment until the fines be paid. THE KING V. WM. HENNING. The defendant in this case, who is a constable of Yar mouth, and was found guilty at the Lent Assizes at Winchester of having connived at the escape of a prisoner whom he had in custody on a charge of smuggling, was sentenced to pay a fine of 50L, and to be imprisoned in the King's Bench Prison until the fine be paid. THE KING V. THOMAS BOURNE Mr. Serjeant PELL prayed the Judgment of the Court upon the defendant, the publisher and printer of The Dorchester Gdzette, who was found guilty at the last Assizes for the county of Dorset, of having , published in that paper a libel upon Doctor Dupree. - At the suggestion of the Court, the Learned Serjeant agreed that the defendant should enter into his own recognizance to come up and receive judgment when called upon. The defend ant having entered into his own recognizances of 5001., The CHIEF JUSTICE informed him, that if he should insert any other libel against the prosecutor, he would be inunedlately called upon to receive the Judgment of the Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MURDER of a CHILD by ITS OWN MOTHER. WORSHIP-STREET.—This Office continued surrounded by thousands of people during a great part of yesterday, in conse quence of Ann Mounfiford being brought before S. TWYFORD Esq. the presiding Magistrate, charged with the murder of her ' infant female child. The wretched woman was placed at the bar; she was confined by a straight jacket, and appeared to be much agitated. The following are the depositions, as they were taken before the Magistrate : Rohert Couch, of Virginia-row, Bethnal-green, special con stable, being sworn, said—" Yesterday morning (Sunday) about eleven o'clock; •I went to a' house in Virginia-row, and on my arrival there I saw the prisoner and a man standing together. The man said he wanted an officer. I said I was one. Take charge, said he, of this woman, she has committed murder. The prisoner said immediately liave_done it—l have. committed ,wilful murder.' A brother officer of mine, John Dudley, coming up, I left him in charge of her whilst I went up, stairs. On my getting up stairs into the workshop, I saw a child lying with its head severed from its body; the razor produced, all bloody, was lying near the body; there were several streams of blood upon the floor. I immediately went down stairs, and took the prisoner to the watch-house; when there, I questioned her as to the cause ; I did not hold out any threat or any hope whatever, but I sim ply asked her how she came to commit such a rash act ? She said that she had been very uncomfortable for several weeks ; that she had received good things from the Lord, but that she had lost them ; that she had attempted to hang herself three weeks ago, and she could not do it. I asked her if she had attempted to kill her child three weeks ago ? and she said she had thought of it. Then [ asked her if she had attempted to hang herself since ?' and she said she had—she had tried to do it this morning. I asked her where she had tried ? She said she had tried to hang herself to the loom beam. I asked her then how sbe came to commit this rash act upon this child in particular ? and she said she took the, youngest because she could do it the easiest." Mary Ireland.—" I live at Mr. Mountforil's. I keep a straw bonnet and dress-maker's shop in the lower part ,of the house, on a level with the street. Some time before eleven o'clock, yesterday morning, I observed Mrs. Mountc-md. She knocked at my door and said, I have done it—l have done it—send for an officer.' I said; what have you done ? She replied, have killed my child, I have cut iLs head off—l want to be hung—l must be hung.' She then shewed me the blood on her hands, wiping them one against the other, and putting each of them to her mouth, and she asked me fora cloth. I gave her a cloth. She went into my room, and took the cover off the saucepan which was standing on the fire. She dipped the cloth in and her hands also, and then repeated the words, Send for an of ficer.' I myself wanted to send for a doctor, but she said it was of no use. She conducted herself like a frantic woman, - pulling her hair and clothes in an extraordinary manner. She also foamed at the mouth." Jane illountford, the prisoner's daughter, a young girl, aged 14 years, was next called. She was much agitated, and said— " Yesterday morning, a little before 'eleven o'clock, I had the baby in my arms. My mother was in the room dressing herself. She suddenly•took the child from me, and went with it into the passage. She soon returned into he room, and took the key of 'the trap door. She then went up stairs through' the trap-door t%-ith the child. In about two or three minutes she returned without the child, and went into the kitchen to Mrs. Ireland. Before my mother took the child from me she seemed white in the face, and like a mad woman. She' did not speak to me when she took the child." Charles Bowen, of No. 29, Union-street, Hackney, surgeon —" Yesterday morning I was called to attend at Mountford's. When I got there I was shewn up stairs, and - found the child lying near the trap-door, with its head severed from its body, apparently with the razor which was there. The child was quite dead, but warm," The prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial. While remaining in' the parlour of this Office, she shed tears, and said, " I hope the Lord will bring me through it." Her looks and behaviour were such as to leave no doubt of her insanity. CORONER'S INQUEST.—After the examination at Worship street, a respectable Jury assembled with the Coroner, JOHN W. Us WIN, Esq., at the sign of the Turk's Head, Virginia row, before whom the depositions of. the several witnesses were taken and recorded. The Jury first went to the scene of horror, and viewed the murdered corpse ;, the head and body were still lying in the precise manlier in which they were discovered after the perpe tration of the horrid deed. On the Jury returning to the public house, the Coroner proceeded to the examination. The only new evidence was that of Mr. Charles Laygon, of No. 3, Princes-place, Virginia-court, who was next examined.— He deposed—That when the report reached my ear, I went over to the prisoner's house, and found the passage filled with persons, amongst whom was Mrs. Mountford, the prisoner, who spoke in the same manner as already described by the last witness.—ln the afterhoon I visited her in the watchhouse, and asked her, in the presence of her father 7 in-law and others of her relatives, how she came to commit the rash act upon her child ; she re plied with'the greatest composure, " On,purpose to be hanged, lam tired of my life." She said she would prefer being ex ecuted to going home to her family. I asked her if she had any hatred in her heart towards the child she had slain ? She an swered, " No ;" but it had entered her mind to destroy it before the fatal morning. She also endeavoured to hang herself a few minutes before she murdered the infant. The prisoner I un derstand is three months gone in the family way. I have knoWn her 20 years, and a more kind-hearted woman never ex isted. lam positive she was deranged in her intellects. On the close of the evidence the Coroner, in summing up, was interrupted by one of the Jurymen standing up, and de claring he could not, without falsifying his oath, return a ver dict of " Wilful Murder against the prisoner." A meeting was held on Friday at Bath 7 for the purpose of contributing to the relief of the distressed peasantry m Ireland. The Rev. Archdeacon Moysey having been called to the Chair, James Godfrey de Burgh, Esq. made a brief but forcible appeal in behalf of his unfortunate countrymen in the south-west of Ireland. A subscription was then propoaed, and agreed to with alacrity, the amount to be transmitted to the fund now collecting in London. Bristol and Gloucester have also entered into the cause, and a requisition is in the course of signature for a meeting at Liverpool, for the same ge nerous purpose. At Chester a charity ball was given on Thurs day evening, where some of the principal ladies resident in that city and neighbourhood kindly collected the money at the doors : the proceeds were considerable. At Plymouth, large quanti ties of potatoes and oats are shipping for the south of Ireland.— At: Camberwell the Ladies have opened a subscription among. themselves, their children and their servants, which in no in stance is to exceed half-a-crown, but admits the smallest do nations. The Coroner's Jury that sat at Weymouth on the body of William Lewis, of the sloop Active, who died of a wound re ceived by a musket from the Pigmy; returned the following verdict That the said William Lewis was mortally wounded by a ball, wantonly and maliciously .fired by some person on board his Majesty's. schooner Pigmy, and we do therefore return our verdict of " Wilful Murder against the Officer then in command of his Majesty's said schooner."—A Court Martial is ordered to be held at Portsmouth on the 20th instant to inquire into the Circumstances.

DISTUftBANCESINSTAFFORDSHIRE.—The south western district of this county still continues in a very unsatisfactory state, the miners generally refining to work for the reduced wages, and the masters persisting in their determination not to employ them at the old ones. Indeed, the few masters who have hitherto continued to pay the old rate of wages have lately taken the determi nation of reducing them, a very numerous meet ing of the trade having been held at Walsall on Tuesday last, when it was unanimously re solved not to give any other wages than those for which the men refuse to work.. In conse quence of the disposition which had been mani fested to offer violence to persons and property, it was deemed advisable to make more exten sive arrangements for preserving the peace of the district, and four troops of the Yeomanry Cavalry were ordered on duty in the neighbour hood till their places could be supplied by regulars. Mr. Littleton, their Lieut.-Colonel, left town to take the command of them. — In the course of the week. Earl Talbot, the Lord Lieutenant,visited the neighbourhood, where he concerted such measures with the Magistrates as, it ishoped,may prevent any evil consequences to the public peace from the continuance of the struggle between the masters and the men. The Yeomanry Cavalry have been since relieved, after having been thanked by the Lord Lieutenant for the prompti tude with which they had turned out to support the civil power. They have been replaced by a detachment of the 73d Regiment of Infantry, another of the 2d,, and another of the Scotch Greys. During the week the Magistrates, as sisted by parties of the Militia staff and Yeo manry Cavalry, apprehended many of the ring leaders in the late disturbances, and lodged them in the county gaol.—( Staffordshire Advertiser, Macy 11.)
