THE LONDON JOURNALS. IXTRACTS , FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS, June 11, 1822. [mottNiNt4 ros - r.] Notwithstanding the misrepresentations to which the Chancellor of the Exchequer's- plan for commuting the half-pay and pension charges has been subjected, the public voice is now de cidedly and unequivocally in favour of it. To enlarge any further upon its advantages, at pre - sent, would therefore be quite superfluous on our part ; though we cannot resist noticing a very glaring inconsistency, which some of its opposers have fallen into ; proving, as it does, that to cavil, not to enter into the merits of the ques tion, is their favourite object. Many of those who arraigned the principle of this measure are the very same who in the early part of the SessiOn proposed, and have since constantly re commended, the total annihilation of the Sinking Fund. They would have the five millions a year, thus appropriated, at once remitted in - taxes, and, assuming. that the sole operation and use of a Sinking Fund is the arithmetical dis charge of debt, would leave that task to futurity. But our Readers will readily perceive, that the ground on which they thus contend, is also ap- Picahle in favour of the commutation of the Half pay and Pensions. The persons we allude to, in destroying the Sinking Fund, would take that step as the best means of hereafter discharging the National Debt. Their argument is, that by , remitting the five millions of Taxes now applied to that fund, the distress of the country would be greatly relieved ; that the sooner that distress is removed, the speedier and greater will be the subsequent prosperity ; and, lastly, that as the pecuniary charges upon a State are always oppressive or otherwise, in proportion as its resources are low or high, it will in a fu ture time of prosperity be no trouble to form a large new Sinking Fund, and discharge a cor responding portion of our debt. If the Sinking Fund were not a great engine of public credit, and a vast resource ready at the command of the nation in case of exigency, this argument would possess much force. But how can those who em ploy it-have the face to oppose the commutation of the Half-pay and Pension charges ? This measure implies the very principle above laid down, namely, to relieve present distress by postponing a part of the burden till the country has fully recovered itself. They must therefore believe that even if, arithmetically, a losing bar gain had been made with contractors, as was at first proposed, this loss would, paradoxically as it may sound,, have been a great gain to the Public. [BRIT' -Ai PRESS.] Last night o discussion took place in the House of Commons on the brin:ing up the Report of the Corn Importation Bill, relative to a clause pro posed in the Committee by Mr. Canning, for al lowing foreign corn at present warehoused to be taken out of bond, ground, and exported. This clause was resisted by those who principally re present the landed interest ; on the ground that it would be impossible to guard against fraud, and that if this permission were granted, the corn when ground would be brought into the British market, and flour of an inferior quality substi tuted in its stead. The advocates of the mea sure, on the other hand, contended that it was the duty of the House to grant that :Joon to the importers of foreign corn, who were considerable sufferers, and particularly as it would be attended with no detriment to agriculture. After some discussion the House divided, when the clause was ultimately rejected, the numbers being— Ayes 31 ; Noes 116--Majority against the Clause 85. [NEW TIMES.'! The Address of the Cortes to the King of Spain deserves to rivet the attention of all think ing men in every part of Europe. We are far from wishing to treat this painful subject with the unfeeling levity displayed in the Aes and Chronicle. We cannot, with the one, insinuate that the - Spaniards should get rid of their King ; nor, with the other, congratulate the Cortes on a civil war. In the Cortes itself this Address was not the production of an overwhelming majority ; it was carried only by 81 to 54 : and it is not to be doubted but that in the country at large the sentiments of the people would be divided iu the inverse proportion. The language held in this Address is that of men who have before their eyes nothing but destruction. They set out with saying they are " overwhelmed with grief at the frightful calamities with which the country is afflicted "—that the dangers " ary terrible and appalling," and anticipate an" effu sion of blood, outrages, and disasters," which will cover the land of Spain • 4 with consternation and mourning."—The news which accompanies this Address,. hut too fully justifies its dreary announcements. We find a regular warfare go- ing on in many parts of Spain ; we find the insur gents levying regular contributions, and acting under known Chiefs, one of whom is at the head of a thousand men ! On the other hand, what sort of law and liberty has the late Revolution pro duced ? A party of the prevailing faction march into a town unfavourable to their cause : they erect there three pillars dedicated to the insane Constitution which has produced all this woe : and they gravely declare, that if one of these pillars is pulled down, they will murder the Curate of the place ; if a second, they will murder the Magistrate ; and if a third, they will murder all the inhabitants. This is " the pro gress of liberty and knowledge" in Spain ! This is the result of her " wise institutions !" These are the acts of her " illustrious Patriots !" Most deeply, most sincerely, do we lament to see a country subjected to such miseries ; but none but a madman' could have anticipated a different re sult from the manner in which their late un happy revolution was conducted ; or from the senseless and impracticable scheme of Govern ment, which was dignified .with the name of a Constitution. Let us, at least, learn wisdom by the sufferings of our neighbours. Sir Francis Burdett, in 1818, gravely proposed 41 the Legis lature to adopt Annual Parliaments and Univer- sal Suffrage. If that proposal, fit only for Bed lam, had been agreed to, England would now be, what Spain is—a miserable monument of the folly of listening to frantic Reformers. [THE TIMES.] The pending measure with regard to the Salt Tax is destined, as we learn from the Dublin journals, to present in the sister island an il lustration of the talents of our Finance Mi nister, even more peculiar and edifying than any that we have been able to extract from it here. By taking off in this country 13 shillings out of 15 shillings from the tax per bushel on salt, it is so contrived that all such portion of the impost as went for profit to the revenue has been got rid of, while all which could be made subservient to patronage only has been conscien tiously retained. Here, therefore, a productive tax has been improved into a vehicle of un mixed corruption : but in Ireland the thing has been managed with a degree of skill which is in finitely more original and surprising. There the duty is abolished altogether, and—what would be very curious every where but in Ireland—the people are made to pay more under the abolition, than they did under the operation of the tax. We remember when the salt tax was imposed upon the poor Irish, and hard was it considered that mi serable creatures whose only dinner was potatoes should be deprived of that which was their only sauce. It is true that the tax has hitherto been not more than 2s. Irish on white, and ls. 6d. on rock salt—these duties have now been formerly " abolished." But mark the end : a drawback of the whole English duty was heretofore allowed in this country, on stilt exported to Ireland ; this drawback is henceforth to be discontinued, so that the unfortunate Irish pauper will have to pay the new tax of 2s. British, levied at the pit-mouth, instead of 2s. of Irish currency— the old local tax in Ireland : otherwise his tax of 2s. Irish on white salt is reduced to 2s. 2d., or an increase of 8 1-3 d per cent. (when the exchange is at par); and his tax of ls. 6d. Irish on rock salt: is reduced, in the same way to 25.2 d. or, speaking gravely, undergoes an increase of 45 per cent.! This is a species of abolition, which, however suitable in Mr. Vansittart's fancy to the understandings of the Irish, will hardly so well adapt itself to their feelings. But not to strip so hopeful a scheme of that sort of panegyric which it may fairly challenge, we must allow that it exhihits the flower of arithmetic — that it is indeed " the very ecstacy " of finance. [MORNING HERALD.] MR. WALLACE'S WAREHOUSING BILLr-It has been said that the publisher of Sir Walter Scott's last novel, " The Fortunes of Nigel," sold the first day 8000 volumes; and the present demand for Sir Walter's novel productions, not only for the United Kingdom, but also for the East and West Indies, North and South America, the Cape of Good Hope, Africa, and every part of the world, where the English language is undeptood, is beyond all precedent. It is well known that English books in general are about double the price of Foreign books, which, it is said, arises from the duty on paper, and the greater expence of printing, on account of our higher rates of labour. Should Mr. Wal lace's Warehousing Bill be passed into a law, we think, among other branches of trade, that of the Booksellers will be materially affected ; and the Bookselling trade is now one of the most important in the United Kingdom. The Bookseller, who would purchase the copyright of Sir Walter, would certainly have the supply of the home market secured to him—but would he not avail himself of the foreign opening afforded him by Mr. Wallace ? Is it not likely that he would send to Calais or to Hamburgh a single copy of a work, with directions to the printer in Hamburgh or Calais, to furnish him with a cer tain timber of copies on a certain day ;—and will not Mr. Wallace afford him an opportunity, by means of admitting them free of duty into ware houses, to be built at the out-ports ? And from those warehouses would not the publisher in question export to the various parts of th e world we have enumerated, the supply, which in that case would be foreign manufacture, which has been hitherto British manufacture ? There is hardly a vessel, which arrives in the United Kingdom from the ports of the world we have named, but part of their return cargo ha's been in the newest English books, which, from necessity, they have been compelled to take of British manufacture. But now Mr. Wallace is determined that in future they shall have them of foreign manufacture. We think Mr. Wallace would be wise in abandoning his Warehousing Bill, and bringing in another, relative to the Navigation of Ships only. To us it appears that originally he ought to have kept the Bill respect ing ships, and that respecting goods, totally dis tinct the one from the other. A MAD Horst.—About two months ago a va luable blood mare belonging to Mr. Howe, in Doughty Mews, Brunswick-square, was bitten by a dog of the mastiff breed, which was supposed to be mad at the time, as several other dogs were bitten by him, and were afterwards seized with the malady. This being known, a veterinary surgeon attended the horse, and every means were adopted to prevent the disorder, such as purging, bleeding, &c. However, on Saturday morn ing last the stable-keeper was not a little astonished at hearing the horse utter a kind of bark, and at finding her so vicious that no one dared enter the stall. The enraged animal bit and destroyed her manger, and almost knocked herself to pieces. It was quite evident she had been seized with hydrophobia, and flie was shot. The mare was said to be worth , 90 guineas. One of the dogs that were bitten at the same time belonged to a Mrs. Cole in the same Mews, and similar symptoms appear ing in him he was also shot. RIOTING ON SUNDAY.—Three young men, in their weekly clothes, who were on Sabbath se'nnight found rioting or exciting to riot on the streets of Paisley, between seven and eight o'clock in the evening, were picked up by the Police, and on Monday brought before the sitting Magistrate, who fined them 7s. 6d. each; failing in immediate payment of which they were to be sent to Bridewell. The money has been paid, and by order of the Magistrates has been given in aid of the Society lately instituted in Paisley for " Promoting the better Observance of the Sabbath."--(Glasgow Courier, June 8) 'OR THE SUN. NAVIGATION LAWS. MR. EDIToR—I have taken the liberty of send ing you my opinion on the intended alterations in the NAVIGATION LAWS which are now pending before the Legislature. lam induced to do this, as the proposed measures are of the most weighty mportance to• the whole country, and, as such, require the most serious and diligent investiga tion. The existing laws are generally acknow ledged to have answered well the end for which they were framed, and perhaps we have seen them perform greater wonders than those who framed them ever contemplated froFn their enactment. Before such a system is departed from, surely the intended change should be considered in every possible bearing, for by adhering to the old laws there can be no danger. They have now undergone a long investigation, and, unless the old code, I mean more particu larly the Statute of the 12th of CHARLES 11. has proved most glari'ngly defective, and that the intended alterations are sure to infuse more vigour into the system, both for the natural defence and for the benefit of the country, leaving out all con siderations of foreign influence or concession, then the Legislature ought to pause, and even err on the side of British interests, in holding to old principles which have performed so well, and not rashly and wantonly adopt a new system which may not succeed, and may involve the country in disputes, in the event of our being compelled, for self preservation, to retrace our steps ; those who are the advocates of anew system should clearly prove the benefit to be derived from the change. The Bill has now gone through the House of Commons, and no one single individual has been able to show any benefit the country ig likely to derive , from the measure; indeed, the Board of Trade, by persevering in carrying the Navigation Bill, after the miserable majority of nine on the third reading, skews such an apathy towards the feelings, petitions, and remonstrances made against the Bill, by the professional Ship-owners and Seamen, as perhaps never before was prac tised towards any large - body of men, who are actually insultingly told that the measures are for their benefit, when they are calculated expressly for the purpose of the value of ship ping, and sending them to compete with the beggary of Norway and Sweden ; the profession has always been , used to hardships and hard usage, but to put them on the same footing as the miserable inhabitants of Norway and Sweden, and then telling them it is for their advantage, is adding the grossest insult to the grossest injury, and the seamen in this country are too far sailed to be so credulous ; this may hum the marines, it will not pass amongst sailors. You mast be fully aw are that the shipping and seamen come more particularly into direct com petition with foreigners than any other class of men, and that, should the pending Bills receive the sanction of the Legislature, they then will be placed in a situatioe in which no other class of subjects in the realm are placed.—Taking it for granted that nearly the whole present system of England is founded on restriction, and which is fully admitted to be so necessary on the great qu.estion of agriculture, and to protect the manu facturing interests, then, if the pending Bills pass into law, the whole of the laws which protect British shipping are repealed, while all the laws of restriction on them remain entire and in full 'orce. If a general reform in our system of commerce is determined on (of which the necessity should be made clearly to appear), it most certainly should be general, or it must act unequally on different classes, and in that event each must explain the bearing which the alteration will have on its particular body. In this instance the shipping are the first that seem singled out to try the experiment on ; their situation should be placed in the clearest point of view, in order that the Legislature may have the case fairly under their consideration, to enable them to judge whether it is possible for British Shipping to compete with foreigners, and if they are not without some protecting law,then the question is, whether preserving the Maritime Interests is essentially necessary to the well being and safety of the State, or that the Mari time transit must be yielded to foreigners, and that the British shipping and seamen must fall a sacrifice to this new system ? By the pending Bills all the protecting clauses in the 12th of Charles 11., in favour of British shipping, are to be repealed, as regards the i European transit. The restrictive clauses remain, and those of subsequent Acts, which require the ships to be manned in the time of peace with the master and three-fourths British seamen, (and in a national point of view this is a most salutary law, indeed foreign seamen are rarely to be found on board English ships in times of peace). In time of war the Acts allow the ships to man with the master and one-fourth British subjects ; this is on account of, and to facilitate, the manning of the navy. By the Register Act the Ship-owners are compelled to build their ships in England or her colonies, to entitle them to navigate, with British privileges, although they are a hundred per cent. higher than that of the other Northern Powers. They are likewise compelled to repair their ships in England, whilst they could have that done for one half the expence in foreign ports. All their stores are subject to heavy duties, say masts, hemp, flax; tar, deck deals, and almost every other article necessary to their equipment. If, from the length of voyages, misfortune, or any other cause, British ships furnish themselves with necessary stores, they pay heavy duties on them whenever they return to England, although they are nearly worn out before they arrive.— Foreign seamen in the Northern ports of Europe receive from 12s.tid. to 255., and Holland about 30s. per month, whilst the British have from 50s. to 455. per month ; the British seamen are victualled for about ls. 3d. per day, the foreign seamen for about 6d., therefore if we take the difference in the value of building, equipping, and sailing ex pences, including depreciation in value, and insurance on the capitals invested, between a British ship of 500 tons o❑ a twelve months' voyage, and a foreign ship for the same time, the difference will be found in favour of the foreigner between 15001. and 16001. per annum, forming a profit on the foreign ships of about 31 per cent. on the capital invested before the owner of the British ship receives one farthing. When you consider these circumstances, you must immediately perceive that foreign ships are enabled to navigate for one half the expence of the British, and with these data you will readily perceive the cause of the opposition which the Ship-owners, who have embarked their property, and the seamen who have embraced their pro fession, under the sanction of the old laws, now offer to the alteration of the old system. It is true they see measures which may be adopted, and those parallel to the views entertained by the proposers of the new system, and they are as follow : That the English Ship-owner be allowed to build his ships in the cheapest country he can ; that he be allowed to repair them where he pleases ; that he shall not be charged with any duties on stores bought in a foreign port ; and that he may man his ship with the seamen of any nation he can procure cheapest *. In whatever way t'he measures in pt ogre s ss are viewed, whether we look at the Navigation Bill, at the Warehousing Bill, the Colonial Trade Bill, and the whole system they are intending to establish, there is nothing to be found in them of the ancient British feeling and practice; they are altogether new, and more calculated for foreign interest and foreign consignments than British ; 'they are calculated in every way to give facili ties to foreign shipping and seamen, to encourage foreign manufacture and produce, which will be brought into this country to vie with our own produce and manufacture, and they will then share in our shipments to all parts of the world ; therefore, what the visionary economists hold out as a benefit to the kingdom will, in the practice, prove a most destructive evil, and every well wisher to his country must shudder for the fate of this fine empire under such a destructive sys tem, the 'first step of which is highly portentous of its fate, in sacrificing the memorable Naviga tion Statute of the 12th of CHARLES the Second, which laid the foundation of this now great Em pire, and extended the flag and the commerce of Britain over all parts of the globe. This protec tion is now given up as no longer necessary, and the shipping and the seamen, and all those imme diately depending on them, will be the first to suffer ; but the fatal effect of such measures as are pursuing will not stop with that sacrifice only, it will spread its baneful influence throughout our whole extensive dealings, aad will prove equally injurious to all the other great interests of the country.—Naval and commercial greatness never yet sprang from the school of Political Econo mists, nor from learned Sophists—they are the offspring of ardent robust minds and patient per severance. If Boards of Trade are to be go verned by' theory, they are sure to prove a great calamity ; neither will promises of doing good, and practices in doing evil, satisfy those who are to suffer; and the measures which are now advocated by those men will not be long before they shew their evil tendency.—lt will soon be seen whether the practical men, or the Sophists, have the clearest idea on navigation and trade. NAUCLERUS. * If this principle is adopted and pursued throughout our whole restrictive system, every . well-regulated mind must tremble for the consequences, as it will soonlevel all property to the value of that on the Continent; therefore, what is now proposed as a remedy will, in its progress, prove a most de structive evil. LAW INTELLIGYNCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 10. THE KING v. JACKSON, JUN. AND JACKSON, SEN. The defendants were found guilty of conspiracy to sue out a commission of bankruptcy. The ease has been more than once before the public. Jackson the younger, for a sum of money, was admitted as a partner in the business of Mr. Fox, a sutgeon and apothecary. Some time after, whilst he was a debtor to Mr. Fox, his father made him a bankrupt, and this prosecution commenced on the ground that the defendants had concerted the bankruptcy, there being in fact no petitioning creditor's debt, contracted bona fi de. Last Term the Solicitor- General obtained a rule to shew cause why there should not be s new trial, and this day the rule was opposed by Mr. SCARLET T. The COURT were of opinion, that the case ought to be again submitted to a Jury, and made the rule absolute for a new trial The CHIEF JusTicE took causes on the peremptory paper. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JUNE 10. Joseph Correa, late Minister Plenipotentiary from the Court of Portugal to the Hanse Towns, came up for final hear ing. The insolvent had been remanded at a former exa mination, in order to obtain an . account of goods in the possession of his son, at Hamburgh, of his court dresses, &c. The accounts were this day produced, properly ve rified by the affidavit of J. Correa, jun., Esq., who holds the office of Charge d'Affaires at Hamburgh, from the Court of Portugal. The Court were satisfied with the account, and ob served, that although Mr. Correa had been opposed by one of his creditors_ for contracting a debt without probable means of payment, yet he was happy to state that the Gentleman would depart from that Court, to the exercise of his important func tions, without even the shadow of a stain on his reputation.— Discharged.

THEATRICAL FRACAS.--Yesterday se'nnight the Liverpool theatre was opened for the season, with the play of CorioThnus, in which Mr. VANDENROFF made his first appearance on his re-engagement in the theatrical company. A number of persons in the house, among whom were several in dividuals from Manchester, were very vociferous in behalf of Mr. SALTER, who had been displaced to make room for Mr. VANDElmovr, who, the Managers were of opinion, was pre ferred by the Liverpool public. On Mr. VANDENIIOPF mak ing his appearance the expressions of applause and disapproba tion were such as to astound the senses and defy all description. In a short time Mr. SALTER entered the upper side-boxes, and was received amidst a tumultuous discordance of friendship and opposition. The uproar continued long after the curtain had fallen for the night, some instances of violence occurred, and at last five forms were torn up in the gallery, and throwh into the pit. Fortunately the first of them did no personal damage, but it had the instant effect of clearing the pit, and then the police officers " showed the door" to those in the boxes and gallery. On Tuesday night the disturbance was still more violent, although in a thinner house. The active parti sans of the two performers seemed to have possession of the field, and, as on the preceding evening, nothing of the play or farce could be heard, eicept one song from Miss HAMMER SLEY, which, for a moment, lulled the storm. Captain GREET, who was .0 severely injured by the over turning of the Chester and Holyhead.mail-coach, a few days ago, on its entering Halkin, died at Holyhead, and the driver has been committed for trial, charged by the verdict,of the Co roner's Jury with manslaughter.
