THE LONDON JeUItNALs. EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY TionNING PAPERS, July 9, 1822.:. ITnE TIMES.] The sufferings of our afflicted fellow-creatures in Ireland are piercing and appalling, as when we last besought the continued beneficence of our readers in their behalf. The contributions are exhausted ! And what remains ? A mass of ly,retchedness undiminished ; or, if the cry be more feeble, and the number of the victims be in aught reduced, it is not—with anguish we say so —it is not that the relief afforded to them has yet raised any above the recurrence of want, but that famine and pestilence have swept away thousands beyond the reach of sympathy. Let us trust that the tide of British charity may begin once more to flow, and with even augmented power. If one sensation be more enviable—one more delightful than another to the 'heart of man —it is the consciousness of having, sacrificed something from his own bodily comforts to the relief and support of his prostrate brother. If the gay and affluent would but reflect that, each separate,..penny (we speak to, the letter), each penny which they bestow upon this divine work of mercy, will actually remove one pang unutterable—that of gnawing hunger, from the breast of some one helpless being, must they not fly to earn happiness so exquisite, and so cheap ? A single penny will, procure one -suffie cient meal of his humble diet, the potatoc, fora fellow-Christian perishing with hunger. Every penny into which a 5/. note is divisible, and which has been already. given 'to this God-like purpose, .has effectually saved, for the time, the Aire of some all but expiring human. creature—some broken down ,father of a numerous family—some wasted' mother, or some gasping' innocent ! One single pound will suspend the cravings of nature for eight or ten hours in two hundred and forty of our wretched brethren. Those who'have already tasted the joy of communicating - to their neighbours that.relief from torture, will need no exhortation to secure to thenrselves, by a second bounty, another such accession of virtuous de light. The King's letter ought to do much, but it has not been acted on with the zeal and promptitude which every injunction of that sa ered nature has a right to demand from those by whom it ought to be executed. We do not seek to give offence, but it is the guilty only whom We can wound by declaring, that the Clergi and other functionaries; in a great num ber of parishes, have been lamentably remiss iu carrying their solicitations for the wretches= [rish from door to door. It is their bounden duty— the neglect of it is 'a heartless and atrocious crime. ENEw TINES.] In what regards the. Revenue, it would be idle 'to expect any thing like common fairness in the statements of The Times. Yet it may not be improper to point out the grosser errors and in consistencies of that print. After stating that the Quarter's Revenue was 35,0001. less _than in ~the corresponding period of last year, (but omit.: sting to add.that taxes to the amount of 480,000/. had been either taken off or postponed,) the Editor goes on to say, 44 but what may be called Home Deficiency is much greater;" and in proof of this he asserts, among other things, that " the Excise of the last Quarter is 30,0001. less than the corresponding Quar ter." Would not any one suppose from this that it was' meant to be asserted that the con sumption of exciseable articles in . the country had diminished ? Now the fact is quite the contrary; for, omitting the decrease on _Hops and Malt, :there would be an increase on the Excise of 194,888/. ; and the decrease on Hops and Malt ought to be omitted in a comparative view with a Quarter in which those taxes were in full opera tion ; because, as to Hops, the diminution was occasioned by a Treasury Order for postponing the paying; and as to Malt, the reduction is owing to the diminution of the duty. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The renewal of the Irish Insurrection Act be- came the subject of a discussion last night in the House of CoMmons. Previous, however, to that • discussion, some observations were delivered on the subject of the Irish Distress, on receiving the Report of the Committee, to which it had been referred. On that occasion it seemed generally to be thought that a Parliamentary grant was preferable to going from house to house for sub • scriptions. Mr. Bennet, indeed, observed " that the distressed districts in Ireland had not a plea of mere charity,, but a claim of right on the . resources of the country, hs much as York shire, or any ,county in England, would have in similar circumstances." Phis is a subject of some difficulty; We agree that the urgent wants of the F• 3 pulation demand instant attention. But while we allow this, we beg leave at the same . time to doubt how far Yorkshire, or any part of England and Ireland, can with propriety be compared together. The productive powers of England are answerable for the wants of her own population, and it could only be in the case of the insufficiency of the produce of the soil to meet these wants that Ireland could in any man ner be called on to contribute. Now in the case of Ireland, it is not contended that the produce of the soil is insufficient for the wants of the population, but in the distribution of that pro duce betwven the producer and the possessor of the soil, the share of the former is - less than what is requisite for his sustenance.' The English landlord would ia many cases receive more rent, if his land were not chargeabi. with the mainte nance of the poor. We have already said, that the present emergency justifies the departure from' all common rules ; but speaking of the thing . as a question of right, we should say, it was very hard to make the English landlord, in common with the rest of the people of this country, after abating rent for his own poor, contribute so much -out of the remainder to swell the ,rents of the Irish landlords. [BRITISH PRESS., The debete on the Irish Insurrection Act' took place last night.• The reasons given for its re uewal by M. GouLburn go well nigh to a perfect. neutralization. 'Tie measure is not cottsistent with liberal policy, and yet it is immediately necessary, to save the constitution'. In one sen tence, the disaffection is so general and prompt, that nothing but the. Insurrection Act can cope with it; 'in another, the Irish are so imbued with gratitude for the generosity of England, that the lion. Secretary expects a sudden attachment to the Government and the caws to spring out of it-- " And pity melts the soul to love." Are these reasons of State ? They are very old ones, and not a little inconsistent with the con dition of a country, which is admitted by Lord Etedesdale (one who , is no great favourer of po pular political concerts) to have no laws capable of attracting and securing the veneration of the people. The Secretary might, iu default of novel and elo quent reasons, have recourse to the old cry of mo mentary necessity forthis ancient and very useless expedient. But what has become of the dashing promises held out at the beginning of the Session, that the insurrection Act then granted, the trou bles of the country should be searched to their sources, and the activity of the Government should be Inverted from the suppression of in stant turbulence to the purgation of its latent and diseisedcauses ? Not only so, but the Ses sion was the utmost limit of time asked by the new physicians for the experiment of their po licy. The only variation in the complaint, as is now admitted or to be inferred from the conduct of the Secretary and the notoriety of public events, is the additimr of actual famine to the • other aggravations of the case; and still the speech of last night is but an echo of that on which the Insurrection Act - was required at the beginning of theirear._ [MORNING POST.] The Discussion on -the Renewal of the Irish Insurrection Act, which had been postponed by rnatuarconsent till last night, took place on the Question that the Speaker should leave the Chair, in order that the Bill might be committed. Mr. Goulburn opened 'the subjeckin a manner highly creditable to himself, and which we are certain will prove perfectly satisfactory to the country. The regret which he sincerely expressed at being under the necessity of resorting to so painful and repugnant a measure, and the conciliatory dis position evinced thtoughout his whole speech, seem to have- had- a most salutary effect upon the temper of the House during the rest of the debate. From this effect we will not even except the •erratic and irrelevant effusion of Sir Robert Wilson, whose matter, and not him self, appears to have been intemperate. With respect to the question tmmedtately before the House there can scarcely be said to be two opi nions. Mr. Rice, Sir J. Newport, and indeed all the Irish- Members assented to the absolute ne cessity of continuing the Insurrection Act until the next Session of Parliament; nor did the Ho nourable Member for Southwark perhaps believe that he was opposing it.in moving the instruc tion to the Committee 'with which he con cluded. The, latter, however, was the case, and Mr. Spring Rice (merely it may be presumed for the sake of nationality) supported" both the Bill .and the 1 nstruction, a course which, it was facetiously remarked, was not unsuitable on such an occasion ! The-grounds upon which the mea sure has been brought forward were fully stated by Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Peel, and Mr. Plunket ; and, under all the circumstances, we think there can be no doubt as to the propriety, indeed the necessity, of continuing the present Bill till the next Session. The assurance which has been given, that the moment it ceases to be indispensable, it shall be most willingly surrendered —the unanswered chal lenge to mention the slightestabuse which has been practised under it since last enacted—together with the Confidence whiCh the Administralion both here and in Ireland is so well calculated to inspire--leave us without a scruple in approving of this measure as it , is n9w brought forward. We shall nevertheless be quite as ready to call for its repeal when the prevailing aspect of affairs in Ireland has changed ; and we most sincerely and heartily wish that period may soon arrive. [MORNING lIERALD.I It is stated/ that there is'a new Prussian loan in agitation, to the amount of S."l-- millions. The terms for which it is to be contracted are not mentioned, but we suppose it will be some thing on the same principle, only not quite so bd, as the English loans have• been con tracted for, for ,these last hundred and fifty years, ever since the " Glorious Revolution " took place, when England -obtained a King from Holland, who commenced the " _funding system," as the " Financiers " call getting into debt, and borrowing money at an extravagant rate, in order to pay off the debt. Our " finan ciers," on the average, only got about 501. cash ? for every 1001. debt contracted ; but it appears that the Prussian financiers" are the abler men of the two, notsvithstariding all that has been said by English people, as to England having brought forth the most extraordinary " finau ciers" that ever existed. It is said that the Prus sian 4C financiers" are likely to obtain about 701. for every 100/. bond they may issue, and that the contractors intend not to part with a single slice, except at the rate of SU for every 1001. bond ; the contractors therefore. expect to realise About 350,000/. by this new Prussian loan. If this is not an easy way o'f getting money, we know not what is. It is very different to the money grubbing of a cotton weaver, who may sing " clickety clack, water porridge and hardly that," from four o'clock in the morning till, twelve o'clock at night, and only get one shilling for himself, a wife, and six children. What all these foreign loans will end in, time only can discover, but we hope that the parties borrow ing the money will, in the long run, be more honourable to John Ball, in the payment of interest.to him, than one • of the Members of the Holy Alliance—namely the Emperor of Austria, has been to John Bull's Government. How Mr. Vansittart will like these Continental drains of English capital, we know not ; but certainly they militate materially against his plan of getting the 4 and 31 per Cents. above par, so as toenable hint to mulct the holders of these stocks a half, and a one per Cent. ih.the same way ho mulcted the 5‘ per Cent holders, E ARMY. We have been requested by some of our mili tary correspondents to insert the new regulations for the dress of General, Staff, and Regimental Officers, according to General Orders of 25th April last, and which are just published. In compliance with this request, we insert the Ge neral Order, and that portion of the New Re gulations, which relates to the dress of General Officers, and we propose to insert the rest as op portunity offers. GENERAL ORDERS.—Horse-Guards, April 25,1822. — The King having been pleased to approve of the Uniforms of the Officers of the Army being permanently fixed according to the following description (the patterns of which are lodged in the Office of the Board of General Officers in Spring Gardens), the Commander-in-Chief has received his Majesty's commands to enjoin a strict attention thereto throughout the Service ; and his Royal Highness accordingly holds all General Officers, Colonels of Regiments, and Commanding Officers of Corps, responsible, that these Orders for regulating the Dress in all its particulars, shall be punctually obeyed. In order, however, to protect Officers from incurring any im mediate expence, while they may not be in want of new Ap pointments, the. Commander-m-Chief leaves them the option of postponing the adoption of any change specified in this book until the expiration of the following periods, viz. : Six k nonths from this date upon the Home Stations: Twelve months on Foreign Stations, exclusive of India; and Eighteen months in the East Indies. It is at the same time to be understood, that all Officers, on coming into the Service, snail provide themselves according to the New Patterns. _ Much inconvenience having arisen from the practices of Co lonels and Commanding Officers taking upon ,themselves to alter the ornaments and appointments of Regimental Officers, the Commander-in-Chief has received his Majesty's commands to desire that no alterations shall be adopted in future, unless by special authority through the Adjutant-General ;—and such Regiments as may have, in this unauthorized manner, adopted It change, by increasinglhe breadtkand quantity of lace on the uniform f the Officers within'the last ten years, are hereby desired to revert to the ,original Regimental of patterns of lace, where any is worn,. reporting to the Adjutant-General that they have done so, within the periods above allotted to the respective Stations. _ _ _ _ . In circulating this Order, the Commander-in-Chief deems it essential to draw the attention of the Officers of the Army to the Order of the Bth July 1820, regarding the necessity of al ways appearing in Uniform in Quarters, and which his Royal Highness observes is still evaded by the practice of appearing in Blue Great Coats. When Officers wear Great Coats, they must be according to the Uniform Pattern, and always with the Sword and Sash over them. By Command of his Royal Highness the Commander in -Chief, • • HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant-General. REGULATIONS for THE DRESS of GEN E RAL, STAFF, and REGIMENTAL OFFICERS.

SUSANNA WRIGHT Before nine o'clock this morning the avenues leading to the Court of King's Bench were very much crowded, in expectation of the trial of Susanna Wright coming on, charged with sell. ing Carlile's publications. Mrs. Wright, attended by several female frends, was present. • The indictment charged the defendant with being an evil. disposed person, and with having, on the 9th and 30th days of May last, sold' to one James Bignal two publications, called " A New Y ear'.f Address to the Reformers of Great Britain." Mr. GASELEE then proceeded to state his case, which con sisted of a repetition or the arguments that' have been made use of to answer all Carlile's publications, and read some of the passages of the work, at the same time pathetically im ploring the Reporters not to let them come before the public, for the sake of the rising generation. He then called James Bignal the informer, who proved the purchasing the work in question, on the several days mention ed in the indictment. _ _ _ This witness was examined by the defendant to the following effect wish to know how you get your living ?—Witness— I have a pension of 701. and have also a permanent situation in the establishment of the Society. Defendant—Were you not discharged by the Government ? —Yes. What for ?—I don't know.—(A laugh.) The Officer of the Court read the libel. Several letters were then put in, which the defendant re quested to be read : they consisted of a correspondence between the Rev. Mr. Waite, Mr. Taylor, and Rich. Carlile. These having been eoncluded— The CHIEF. JUSTICE called on the defendant for her de fence, which she proceeded 'to read. It was of great length, and maintained the doctrines of Carlile, and attacked the Christian religion and its professors with great asperity. It consisted chiefly of quotations from various celebrated writers. She was otten interrupted by the Chief Justice, and displayed great firmness and presence of mind. Her defence occupied four hours.` At half-past three o'clock the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. ANECDOTE.—A poor woman in Montreal re ceived a Bible from the British agent in that city, A Romish priest, hearing of the circumstance, made her a visit, intending to deprive her of the'precious gift. He offered her five dollars for her Bible. She declined taking it. He then offered her ten, and afterwards fifteen dollars ; she. still declining, he left her. The next day he returned, and offered her twenty-five dollars. She accepted the offer, and with the Money purchased twenty-five Bibles, Which she distributed among her destitute neighbours, under such conditions that the pricst could not ob tam them.--(American Paper.)
