THE LONDON JOURNALS. * 4 I4V/ten nzon TUE ITNILY MORNING PAPERS, September 7, 18'2% - [NEW TIMES.] We certainly do not pretend to predict how ttie'Cilasin produced by the lamentable death of Sword Londonderry will be filled up : we have li - 0 - personal reason whatever for wishing it to be Ailed up in one way rather than another ; but it - ivecir duty to state opinions which we know to be those of a large and enlightened portion of the community. At no former period was power ful and commanding eloquence so decidedly called for on the Alinisterial side of the House of. Commons as at present. The public expect, and.h.ave a right to expect, great talents to be there displayed and those who resist, if any do resist, the just demand of the most enlight ened part of the .nation, do it under a very heavy and serious responsibility. Ministers have nut now, as IR former times, to de fend in Parliament their own conduct, as servants of the King ,and of the nation ; they have to defend the King and the nation 'against principles which would rob the one of his Throne, and the other of its - Constitution. We_need point•no farther back than to the his tory of the last Session, to shew that the conflicts between the rival parties in the House of Corn - ipous are no longer respecting matters of prac tical policy, which leave untouched the Consti tution, and the present order of things. The principal points at issue between them are— Whether the most comprehensive and vital changes shall or shall not be made in the Consti tution, and the habits and regulations of society —Under the name of reform are introduced principles which go directly to ,revolution. — The opinions distinctly advanced by more than one speaker have been precisely those held by,.the individuals on the Continent, who style themselves Liberals and Constitutionalists, but who have all a deadly hatred of England, and a supreme contempt of the British Constitution. — Whether these continental politicians are right or wrong in their judgment, we shall not now dispute they are, however, consistent in think ing Or political and social system fundamentally 41efeCtiv.e ; and their friends in the English House gf Commons, unless they are grossly inconsistent, rriusthink the_sarne.. But, in truth, there is no such inconsistency to be found in the views or projects of these latter Gentlemen. According to those Views. and prejects, the composition and character of. the House are to be wholly changed-; and every one knows that this would wholly change the composition and eharacterof the Government :. the most sweep. ing alterations are to be made in the venues and constitution of the Church ;, nu merous laws are to be blotted out of the code, and to be replaced by others of diametrically opposite character ; and our foreign policy is to be altogether reversed ; it is to consist of hatred of all " legitimate" governments, and patronage and support of all the revolutionists in the world. [THE vimts.] ~We have given an article on Piracy from the Ilk mend Enquirer.—(See another Column. of THE STINO—It would be difficult to find terms much stronger than we have repeatedly employed is expressing the sentiments of the British corn. mertial world on the daring outrages and dis graceful impunity of the West Indian pirates.-7- All we now feel necessary to add is, that the anited States themselves have begun to cast in the teeth of this Government the meanness and humiliation attachinr , to its conduct ) when ijEitish merchantmen receilk from the American flag that protection which the flag of England is unable to afford them ! 44 What though," cry these Republicans, 44 what though the 1000 ".ships of Britain have remained . inactive while " their merchant ships have fallen victims, or 44 been only'saved from rapacity by the exertions " of. our seamen! The disgrace is theirs—the glory is ours." And again---" The British 44 cruizers seem to be as careless of protecting " their defenceless merchantmen from the pirates, 4 ‘ as they are anxious to run . from port to port " carrying specie" for their own profit. If this be not wormwood, then there is no bitterness in baseness, no reality in sllme. IMO.RNING POST.] According to a ,private letter from Frankfort, the death of the Marquis of Londonderry would not occasion any visible alteration in the great projects which were to be discussed at the ap proaching Congress. The Sovereigns did. not - wish. that his personal importance should be re cognized to so great an extent, as a change of policy. would imply. They, are said to meet with a determination, " to declare firmly and openly agaitiSt revolutions of all kinds ;—to entrust Austria with the safeguard of Italy and Germany; - 7 --to enter into a secret Eriticle respecting Spain renew the guarantees given to the other States of Europe ;---4o declare themselves neu tral, at least ostensibly, in the affairs of Turkey ; —to invite other Powers to.abstain from waging . open war with Spain ; and to adopt general measures of repression against the freedom of the Press." • . • [MORNING lIERALD;] One of the best Bills enacted last Session was that of Mr. Martin, of Galway, whereby unfeel ing drovers are prevented from openly torturing animals. We fear, however, that "some of the cruel Vagabonds will secretly wreak their ven geance on the poor dumb brutes intrusted to them. Mr. Martin, we hear, regularly visits Smithfield and the other markets, for the pur pose,of looking to the enforcement of his Bill.— This isjust as he should do ; indeed it is what we would recommend all those to do who succeed r,I-currying Bilis , through the House of Com mons, otherwise in a short time their Bills be- come quite null, upou.the statute books. TBRITISII PRESS,j AVe seldom see an account from the other side of the Allantic - -which does not speak of the (lestructiye 'actiOty of the. pirates against the property. of i.iritisit merchants. The. losses‘ hay.e been so severe thitt a merchant freighting a ves-1 sel for an Atlantic voyage, finds at this moment a sarious difficulty in inducing any underwriters to secure the cargo. The preinium'in many in stances has been •20 per cent. and is seldom less than 10 guineas. It is impossible not to feel such a state of affairs to be highly disgraceful to the British Government, who having at their disposal a navy superior to all the other navies of the world combined, should yet suffer the most im portant branch of our commerce to be made a prey to pirates. Our merchants must feel grateful to the naval force of the United States which has been frequently exerted in defending British property from the gripe of the robbers, but it is very hard that they cannot look with confidence to their own Government for protec tion in return for the enormous taxes to which their trade is liable. When this subject was noticed last Session in Parliament, it was pertly and ignorantly observed, that the United States were as much bound to watch over the trade of the Atlantic as we should be to prevent piracies off Spithead. The Lord of the Admiralty who made this remark ought to know that the duty 'of protecting the ,trade of Great Britain is not confined to latitudes or climates, but that wherever the Britis'h flag is seen, there, too, it ought to enjoy safety and respect. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We observe in the Legislatures of the States of Germany, a conscientious devotion of the Members to the most important of all subjects, the simplification and amelioration of the law. How happens it that the Legislature of England has been so grossly inattentive to its duty, as to leave the people so long a prey to the most op pressive of all systems of law, a system only sup portable at all from the absence of corruption in the Judges, and from the existence of pub lic opinion ? It is chiefly because almost all 'the men of talent in the House, capable of labour, belong to the very profession which profits by the abuse. The House of Commons is too exclusively composed of men of overgrown fortunes ; and rich men, as is well known, will not submit to much serious labour. They , will make a speech occasionally on a subject which admits of shewy declamation, but they can not bring themselves- to enter on a course of severe - application. " Hence," says. a great writer," the ignorance so universal among English Legislators, and the thraldom in which they are held by mercenary la:Wyers." It is the desire to emerge from poverty to wealth which can alone give habits of application ; and this is so well understood at the Bar that it has been not untrequently observed of Students possessed of talents and in easy circumstances, that the latter must prevent their success. What a contrast a man like Mr. Hume, for instance, who carries with him into the House the ardour and perseverance which raised him from a humble situation to corn petence, forms to the great body of the Mem bers ! In the Continental Legislatures to which we have alluded, the Members of the Lower Chambers are not Mere belle-lettrists, but generally men of business, and almost al ' ways possessed only of moderate fortunes, to whom, therefore, labour is not irksone. Were the House of. Commons thoroughly reformed more men of this description would of course find their way into it, which would be productive of infinite good. If only one individual acquainted with the subject of law, and capable of devOting to it the same degree of intense application which Mr. Hume devotes to matters of finance, were to find his way into the house, we should not despair of much good being done. . PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [Prxn the Birnzinghanz and Lichfield Chronicle.] In the first delirium of those who promised themselves from the death of the Marquis of Londonderry, a general change of our men and measures, new and vigorous attempts were made to involve in censure and contempt the whole body of the surviving members of Administration. The langour of despair has suc ceeded to this paroxysm, and the only effort, of very recent date, has consisted in a charge offered against Ministers, for having permitted the late Marquis to continue in office, and having pro-, jected his journey to Vienna while, as it now appears, some symptoms of disordered intellect had preceded the last melan choly occurrence. But, observe, that nothing of a very marked character presented itself till within four days of the Marquis's death ; that the day (Friday) on which marked appearances did present themselves was the last day on which the deceased per formed any act of office ; that the interval which followed may well be supposed to have been spent by Ministers in doubt and apprehension ; and that had those appearances continued, new steps would doubtless have been taken. As to the less obvious and minuter circumstances of previous occurrence,_ it is strange that these are not judged of by the same rules that would be invariably applied in private life. flow often is it, that trivial incidents, to which., at the time, we attach no meaning,' are only explained by some serious succeeding catastrophe ; .and how are we always to be aware, and what would be our conduct if we always presumed, that a sudden peevish word, unevenness of temper, or partial lapse of memory, betokened our patient to be insane ! If Ministers had done any act, committing the interests of the country to the care of the Noble Marquis, after the Friday in question, there would be ground of complaint ; but, as the matter stands, the charge made will never be listened to by any person of the least re flection or candour, and is worthy only of the despicable source from which it comes. • His Majesty's safe arrival from the North, and the loyal and affectionate manner in which he has been every where received, are subjects for general con gratulation. There can be but one wish in relation to the Royal progress ; namely; that. they should be extended, from time to time, to all parts of the kingdom. There could be nothing so serviceable, either to the King himself," to the Constitution, to the peace and happiness of the well disposed, and, we will add r to the reformation of the ill-think ing and discontented, as the occasional presence of the Sove reign, and especially of such a Sovereign as George the Fourth. The actual stores of his mind, the powers of his understanding, the benevolence of his feelings, and the patriotism of his views, could, in no case, fall under every one's observation ; but the ease and kindness of his manner command the adMiration and the love of the meanest and furthest removed within the walls of his residences, and nothing is left to be desired, but that some share of all that delights, upon a close inspection, should be seen by the people at large. NEW - MARRIAGE AcT.—Yesterday a group of young men and women assembled at the door of the Town Hall, and many jokes were passed, much-to the apparent'annoyance of the fair ones, upon their being required to make affidavit to their respective ages and residence, before a Justice of the Peace, preparatory to entering their names for banns in the Church ; where, after going through this ordeal, their reset ctive . cognomens and places ofabode must be exhibited in tripodite form against the door of the Church, on three several Sundays. We 'therefore think this Act might with' propriety be ycleped an `Act to increase the fees to the Clerks of Justices and - -the Parish, and - to 'preVent matrimony by ennecessatity increasing "delay 'and Oniettse.— fLiverpool Advertiser.) CITY, FaniA:y EVENING. Consols for the October settlement opened this morning at soi and continued very steady till nearly the closing of the mar ket, when a rumour gained great currency which instantly ad vanced their value to 81i. It was reported that the greatest Captain of the Age was so much indisposed that he could not attend the meeting of the Holy Alliance. The precise nature of the indisposition, whether it was of a political, mental, or corporeal nature, was not well ascertained ; but from whatever cause the chance of his remaining at home may have sprung, the consequence of the rumour has been an advance in the value of the public securities. Amongst commercial men, whose views are limited to the promotion of their own interest, and that of the community at large, it cannot be expected that the slightest idea could be fortfied of the sublime intentions and beneficent objects of this most holy and enlightened Fraternity, about to assemble at Verona. They have, however, and nearly univer sally adopted the idea, that, under the present system of Go vernment, theonly man in the nation, ut the present moment, capable of supplying effectually the vacant places of the late Lord LONDONDERRY is the Rt. Hon. BRAGGE BATHURST, and they are anxious that the august Meeting of the great Potentates should have this statesman amongst them to repre sent the United Kingdom. Thotigh they are perfectly aware that England has nothing to grant to this legitimate conclave, and little to ask from them which there is any chance of obtain ing, still it is proper that a Gentleman, able to express the sen timents openly andclearly of the late Lord Londonderry, should attend their deliberations, as probably they will turn on the present supposed enlightened state of the hutnan mind, and it ;may require no small degree of mystification on tire part of the British Minister to convince the Holy Al liance that the human intellect generally is not so far ad vanced in the paths of true knowledge as their interested hopes may have induced them to believe. To represent this doctrine in a proper manner to these regulators and limiters of the capabilities of the human mind, the citizens cannot conceive any modern Statesman so qualified as the Right Honourable B. Bathurst, and consequently the chance which the indisposition of the great Captain affords of the employment of talents so suited to the occasion, has given great life to the British funds, and caused an advance of fully 1 per cent. The New Fours have been done at 100, and the Cash Consols are extremely scarce at 801. Such is the consequence resulting from the idea that a suitable British Minister at Ve rona may benefit his country by affording proof that the Holy Alliance, hath nothing to fear from the increased knowledge of mankind. The chief attraction still for capital is the Foreign Funds. The best interest for money can be obtained from the Spanish Securities, and when the religious frenzy, at present exhibited by a lawless banditti, is completely put down, a considerable advance must take place in the securities of a nation so strictly honourable. A great deal of capital continues to be invested, and many speculative bargains made in all descriptions of Fo reign Securities, excepting in the new Russian Loan, which is not a favourite stock, and the business done in it is rumoured to be'extremely limited, notwithstanding the very liberal con. duct of the Contractor, in extending the time for payment, at the low interest of Four per Cent.

The arrivals of Grain since Monday for sale in Mark-lane, have been extremely small. Of Flour there are 5,800 sacks, and of Wheat only 4,100 quarters. 7,100 quarters of British, and 500 quarters of Irish Oats have likewise arrived. There - are only two or three samples of new Barley on sale, and needy Maltsters have paid.3oB. a quarter for them. This is a high price, 1 and must produce its a few weeks, a very abundant supply, of , which the consequence probably will be a decline ruinous to the shippers. Oats are Is. to 2s. lower than on Monday. Fine. New Wheat is Is. dearer ; but old samples and inferior descrip tions are unsaleable. The' consumers of grain in general have no confidence in the present prices, for very soon must every market in the kingdom be filled with a far larger supply than the demand can take off, unless a reduction in prices creates foreign export shipments. In addition to a larg e stock of the growth of last season, remaining unconsumed, th empire has again been blessed with another most abundant crop. No doubt, out of this bounty of Heaven, many Ministerial misfortunes must arise. The exorbitant rental of the country must be reduced, tithes must also fall, and the public expenditure must be limited by the services of those who receive the public money. Wheat at the ma i ximum or minimum price of 80s. a quarter, would annually levy from the people thirty millions sterling more than the present average price of 38s. 4d. can .pro duce, and a more easy collection of taxes for the mainte nance of the idle, attended with increased luxury to the great and powerful, would thus be produced by the ruin of com merce, and the misery of the great majority of the community. To the cultivation of the soil advanced prices can produce no benefit, for the interest of the farmer depends as much on a re duction of prices taking place, by which a foreign export de mand may be created, as that of any p rson in the commu nity. In future the profit attending fiarning must be drawn from those countries where the' climate and - situation do not admit the cultivation of wheat on so low terms as those at which it can be imported, for it is now quite obvious, that from even a monopoly of the home market, no benefit can be drawn by Agriculturists to produce more than the home consumption requires, and to export the excess must • create national' wealth. Nothing can be more true than that the individual who produces most, and consumes least, becomes the richest, and the same remark which can be applied to an individual, must, from ne cessity hold true when applied to communities and nations. To possess more than can be consumed of any thing cannot possibly be injurious, and must greatly add to the comfort and happi ness of fami lies. A free trade in Europe in every commodity,. unrestricted and unlimited, excepting by the collection of duties, necessary for the public state-expenditure, would diffuse univer sal happiness, and would greatly tend to form a universal family of the Christian world, depending for their enjoyments on mu tual labour. To give and to take according as the genius of each nation required or produced, would add to the ease and in crease the comfort of all. It would banish poverty from the door of the industrious, and it would compel the worthless and the idle to do something for, the common good. In England the ad vantage which must result from 'the low prices of provisions will be immense. It will create content and increased virtue amongst the people. It will - render unnecessary the great body of soldiers at present kept up in a state of idleness to enforce the execution of the laws. The interests of the producers and con sumers, of the tax-payers and tax,receivers, of the agriculturists and manufacturers, of the public creditor and the people, whose prosperity has been increased by the loan - of capital, will under a proper system become united, and an enlightened Govern ment, aided by the abundant production of nature, will soon produce the only true national wealth—a hardy and virtuous population. • It is reported that advices have been received from St. Peters burgh, dated on the 11th of August, on which day the ex thane was 100. and the price of Tallow 97 rubles ; here, this 'article is lower, the price for it on the spot being 395. and 40s. for stated deliveries. Barilla, by public sale this day, was va lued at 131. 10s. per ton' in bond. About .120 tuns of South Sea Oil were also exposed at Garraway's, and it was generally bought in at 191. a tun.. The trade wait for more detailed ac tounts from Davis's Straits and Greenland before oil receives a fixed value.—( Morning Chronicle.) NSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, SEPT. 6. David Cowherd Vauser came up to be heard on his petition to be discharged. The insolvent had been a farmer at March, in Cambridgeshire, and, his discharge was opposed by Mr. CoOKE, on behalf of his landlord, Mr. Woodward. Mr. Cooxt's examination of the insolvent consisted of an inquiry into the disposal of his property. The insolvent stated, that in the year 1817 he sold his share of an estate, which was then subject to a Chancery suit, to his uncle for 1,800/. ; and in the year 1820 he received a legacy of 300/. He left his farm in December last, because he was threatened with a dis tress by his landlord, and with an execution by a creditor of the name of Lee, to whom he had given a warrant of attor ney for 600/. He had then ninety-six sheep, which he sold to his brother for'l4ol., in part payment of 250/. he had bor rowed from him. He removed some of his furniture to his brother-in-law's house at the same time, and left part in his house to be taken by his landlord. His landlord brought an action against his brother-in-law for the part of the furniture which had been removed to his house, and it was given up to him. The remainder of the Learned Counsel's examination related to the insolvent's disposal of his houses, for which he accounted, and to his account-books. The insolvent stated that he kept no account-books but of the labour done in his farm, and a memorandum-book in which he entered the quantity of corn he sent to market, merely that he might know the quan tity the farm produced. Mr. HEATH, who Was Counsel for the insolvent, examined him in explanation. His farm' contained 500 acres ; he held it 8 years, at 8001. a-year. He did not think there was any arrear due to his landlord, though he claimed a year's rent at Lady day last. The landlord entered his first distress in December for 5501. ; he was in possession a considerable time, and made two sales, which produced 4501. He put in another distress after Lady-day, and sold every thing that it was possible to sell : the growing crops, consisting of 100 acres of wheat, and 30 acres of tole-seed, which were worth at least 31. per acre. He also sold every thing that was moveable, even the fixtures out of the house, and afterward* got furniture to the value of 100/. which the insolvent had removed to his brother-in-law's house. The insolvent repeated his opinion that he was fully paid, and said his insolvency arose from the dearness of this farm, the rent of which Mr. Woodward gave him to understand in the year 1817 he would reduce, but had never done it. Mr. Woodward, the landlord, was examined by Mr. COOKE. —He had been frequently at the insolvent's house, and seen three account-books there within the last 12 months. He did not see the insolvent's property that was taken in distress. About 3001. of it was bought for him. He did not think he got it much under the value. He offered it to the insolvent's brother-in-law at 501. more than the purchase price. The Insolvent was examined respecting the three books seen at his house by his landlord, and said that two of them were in his possession in town, one the labourers' book for 1821, the other the memorandum book he had mentioned, and the third was the labourers' book for 1820, which was in the country. Mr. COOKE prayed the Court that the case might be ad journed till that book was produced. Mr. HEATH said he must agree in that prayer, because he would not wish that the insolvent should be discharged with the shadow of imputation on his character, " though,' said the Learned Counsel, " I must regret that in the mean time my feelings may cool before I can have an opportunity to observe upon the persevering oppression of the landlord, who, after re ceiving such a rent for such a length of time, and taking the last remnant of property his tenant had, now seeks to keep him in prison, though it is doubtful whether any thing is due to him." _ _ The Court adjourned the case to give time for the production of the book.
