THE LONDON JOURNALS. AZiRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS, May 13, 1822. [BRITISH PRESS.] 'the country has answered with alacrity to the cafl of the town in aid of the unfortunate sufferers from famine in the south-west of Ireland. A meeting was held at Bath on Friday, at which James Godfrey de Burgh, Esq. made a forcible appeal in behalf of his unhappy countrymen to the humanity of his audience, followed by a liberal subscription. At Chester a ball was given on Thursday, on which occasion the Ladies kindly collected the money at the door. 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 generous purpose. Shrewsbury and several other towns are preparing to follow the example. The Mayor of Portsmouth, in compliance with a re quisition numerously and respectably signed, has convened a public meeting in the same Ynevo lent cause, to be held on Wednesday next. A considerable quantity of oats and potatoes was shipped in the course of last week at Plymouth, and other potts of Devonshire and Cornwall, for the south of Ireland. [MORNING POST.] It is with heartfelt satisfaction we find that all our suggestions for promoting the means of relief to our suffering fellow-creatures in Ireland con tinue to be promptly adopted. Our appeal to the Managers of our Theatres has already been answered by a notice from Drury-Lane Theatre, that a benefit for this humane and God-like pur pose will be given on Saturday next; and we have no doubt that this laudable example will be cheerfully and speedily followed by the Managers of every other Theatre in the Metro polis. We are further rejoiced to be informed, that " the' Grand Jury of the County of Middle sex, now sitting at Westminster, formed of some of the most respectable Gentlemen of that City, have determined to recommend in their several parishe,s, that the endeavour to assist their dis tressed fellow-subjects in Ireland should be taken into immediate consideration, that all the aid and relief possible may be afforded them before their - want and suffering increase and spread too far."— Most candidly do we congratulate the friends of humanity upon the splendid progress which their cause is thus rapidly making. sum little short of 25,0001. has, we believe, been already raised in London ; and it is delightful to be able to add, that the good work is likewise thriving in all other parts of the Kingdom. At Bath and Brighton considerable sums have been subscribed. At Liverpool, Chester, Plymouth, Cheltenham, and various other places, the same humane feel ings have already manifested themselves. At Chester, where a Ball was given on Thursday, a most interesting scene presented itself—that of the principal Ladies of the city and neighbour hood attending at the doors and receiving the money, which is immediately to be forwarded in aid of the fund. Thus, in a very short time, thank God, the thousands of miserable beings, men, women, and children, who, but a few weeks since, had famine glaring upon them in all its horrid forms, and who scarcely dare to hope for any thing beyond protracted and lonely wretch edness, will know the luxury—a luxury but faintly conceivable by those who have never felt the actual, or the dreaded, privation—of enjoy ing a sufficiency of wholesome food. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We apprehend it is now tolerably clear that the' Minister will not succeed in obtaining his loan from the public or the South Sea Company, and that he has no other source but that of the Sinking Fund (out of which he may take it with the greatest saving to the public), and if persons - were even to offer, we cannot understand how Parliament could sanction the terms they would demand (viz. from 4.1 to 5 per cent.) while the Commissioners are getting for the five millions annually laid out by them only 31. 18s. per cent. We have before stated, and we now repeat, that this alone would oblige the Mi nister to take the Sinking Fund, unless, in deed, he is determined to propose the most audacious measures to Parliament, trusting to his never failing majorities. However, we think, on such a proposition, even these would fail him. It has been rumoured that the Bank might bid, but we now understand there is no truth in this rumour, which we imagine arose from the proposal of lengthening the term of the Charter. Even this, we understand, will meet with very determined opposition--265,0001. per annum for the management of / the Public Debt is a sum which must be minutely examined, as it is not impossible (we should think) to save one hundred and sixty-five of this enormous charge. Therefore we call on the Country Gentlemen to pause a little before this sum is continued for eleven years beyond the period of the present Charter. As this subject will come under dis cussion in the House of Commons this week, we trust we shall find the Country Gentlemen sup porting those who endeavour to lessen the charge on the public purse. [MORNING HERALD.] It has been asserted, and with truth, that proportion as the taxation of a country is in creased, in the same proportion will the prices of the productions of that country be increased. This position has been strikingly exemplified in the case of the late war with France.—Now, as the prices of the produce rise with the rise of taxation, so also those prices fall in proportion as taxation is reduced. But in Great Britain the taxation is in the present year, and was in the last year, a fourth part less than it was ten or fifteen years before ; therefore, upon the operation of that cause alone, the prices of pro ductions must have been lowered. The precise amount it would be difficult to get at;. but the proportion must be very considerable. Should not, then, the present depression of prices in England, particularly of her agricultural produce, be ascribed in part to the repeal of taxes This Is a view of the subject which has not, as far as' we are aware, been taken, in or out of Parlia ment, great as has been the variety and dif fuseness of the written and spoken pamphlets on this threadbare subject. This view sug gested itself to us, and we feel it due to justice to urge it, though it may run somewhat counter to the popular humour, and remove from the shoulders of Ministers a portion of blame and re sponsibility. But upon every question, and par ticularly upon one so deeply interesting, and upon which right notions are so desirable as this, opinions should be expressed, not with an eye to popularity or party, but only to truth. Cer tainly, the anticipation of Mr. Peel's Bill, by contracting the circulation, must have lowered the prices, though not to the extent ascribed to it. That extent it is impossible precisely to calculate. Mr. Ricardo has affected to calculate it with some nicety—But how can he do it ? What data has he that are not to be had by others ? [NEW TIMES.) We noticed in our last the Meeting held at Fife House, which terminated with an appoint ment for Tuesday next, by which time it was ex pected that the South Sea Company would de termine whether or not they would bid for the whole of the Pensions and Annuities. A Meeting of the South Sea Proprietors afterwards took place, when the proposal to bid for the whole on the part of the Company was negatived ; but it was agreed that those who chase to subscribe should enter their names in a book for that purpose.—To speak freely our own sentiments, we must con fess that, skilful as the plan was in its first con ception, a prejudice seems to have been created against it by some particulars, which may easily be corrected, in the mode of carrying it into execu- tion. It was no doubt desirable to divide the burthen of the Pensions and Annuities between the present age and posterity ; and for that pur pose it became necessary to allow individuals or public bodies to contract for supplying the re quisite sums ; but we own it strikes us that the contractors should have been allowed to take the chance of the lives falling in. By precluding them from this, the spirit of speculation, which was essentially necessary to the completion of such a plan, was. paralysed. It became a dry question of time and of the amounts to be paid, and afforded little or no inducement to the enterprising. spirit of speculation. In the next place, the sub mitting a question of monied speculation to a large body of proprietors, was a measure very likely to defeat the plan. The false notions of liberality which prevail in the present day, lead to the discussion of all questions in numerous assemblies, without regard to the fitness of those assemblies for determining on the point at issue. We are satisfied that the South Sea Company would have best consulted their own interest by taking the contract ; but we are equally satisfied that their interest would have been better con sulted by many other modes of deliberation than by that which was adopted. The negative of the meeting therefore does not surprise us ; and we entertain little expectation of success from the opening of a book to receive assents. The re sult therefore will probably be that no Company will take the whole, but that it will be taken in parts by the various Insurance Offices and other great bodies, or wealthy individuals. [TIIE TIMES.] The distress of Ireland at the present moment affords a strong proof of the comparative energy and capacity of the English people and the Eng lish Government. Famine does not drop down upon a nation like a thunderbolt, or burst forth from beneath our feet like an earthquake. Its approaches are fearful indeed, but they are gra dual. In cases, also, where famine is general, it is hardly to be provided against. Suppose, for example, there were a famine throughout the whole earth : such a visitation, as we could not import grain from any of the neighbour •ing planets, would be without remedy—we must implore mercy of the Being who, for wise purposes, inflicted such a calamity, and bear it with patience and humility. But in the present instance, here is a famine-0 God t- that we could make people feel what is really meant by that word famine, when it is descriptive of a state of things that actually exists, of what boundless misery it is the short definition—in the present instance, then, this gaunt destroyer of human life has been making his approaches for a long time, but in the usual way, by slow and perceptible degrees. He might have been met at almost every stage of his progress ; but there -was no watch kept—the sheep were without provident shepherds; and was it necessary to call in supplies from far ? No: we believe that it is almost un paralleled in any history, that, in an empire so small as that of England in its geographical ex tent, the growers of corn should be starving from abundance in one nook, and the consumers of corn perishing from want of food in another. To use the language of poetry, and we had hoped of fiction, it may now indeed be said of the country, that it " Blooms at once a garden and a grave." But turn we from the Government Co the people, and how different i the prospect ! Famine has actually broken out : want is inflicting its ravages in the sister kingdom. No sooner is this known to the people of England, than, slighting all distinctions of sect and party, unobservant of the Government, as if no Government existed (and which, in truth, has not existed for the prevention of this evil, though it has existed for the infliction of many others)— , the people of England, we say, are no sooner ac quainted with the sufferings of their Irish bre thren, than they fly together, suspend all private affairs, forget the claims of children and kindred at home r and—the miseries that have been al ready suffered they cannot recall, but at their own personal expence they take care that " the plague shall be stayed." Such is the difference in moral character and physical activity between the British Government and the British people. Nearly a hundred persons embarked from Southampton last week , for France. Upwards of fifty houses have been finished building at South. ampton since Christmas ; nearly the whole are inhabited. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 11. THE ICING V. THE CORPORATION OF BRISTOL. In this case a rule had been obtained, calling on the Corpora tion of Bristol to show cause why a peremptory mandamus should not issue to compel them to reinstate Mr. Griffiths in the office of Steward of the Sheriff's Court of that city. In answer to the complaint the Corporation made a return setting forth that Mr.' Griffiths, by accepting the office of a stipendiary Police Magis trate of the Shadwell office, London, had disabled himself from performing the duties of the situation from which he had been removed. They stated that he had accepted the office in Lon don in 1818, and that of thirty-seven courts holden between June and September in the following year, he had been present only at five. Mr. Griffiths, in person, took several objections to the form of the return ; and, on the merits, asserted that, as his days of 'leisure as a Magistrate were Saturday and Monday, he had an opportunity of paying a weekly visit to Bristol, to perform his duties as steward. Mr. LUDLOW for the Corporation, contended that the ob jections were without foundation ; but that, even if the return were defective, the Court would not grant a peremptory manda mus in a case where they must perceive that the applicant could not fulfil the duties of the office to which he called on the Court to restore him. The COURTS although they thought it would be difficult to answer some of the objections to the return, were unanimously of opinion that the peremptory mandamus ought not to be granted. It appeared clearly to them that the two offices were incompatible, and they were not bound to restore a person to an office from which he might next week be again properly eject ed. If the facts stated in the return were untrue, Mr. Grif fiths had his remedy by action.—Rule discharged. MOST SHOCKING EVENT. MURDER of a CHILD by its ITS OWN MOTHER ! ! Yesterday morning, about half-past ten o'clock, a most sanguinary and horrid murder was perpetrated on the body of a fine infant named Sarah Mountford, aged eight months and a fortnight, by her own mother, Mrs. Ann Mount ford, at No. 1, Virginia-row, Bethnal-green. The father of the child is a weaver, and highly respected in the neighbour hood for 12 years; he has been married between 16 and 17 years, and has a family of ten children; the eldest is a girl about 15 years old, and the youngest was the unfortunate victim who was at the breast, and always appeared to be its mother's fa vourite. About ten o'clock in the morning Mr. Mountford went to Bailey's Chapel, in Great Alie-street, Goodman's-fields; pre vious to going out, he desired his wife, who then had the baby at her breast, to dress the younger part of the family as soon as she could, and send them to the Sunday school, where they at. tended every Sabbath day. He then left her apparently in good spirits; and on going out at the door she held the baby to him, and desired him to kiss little Sarah before he went, which he did, and then went to Chapel. She then commenced putting her house in order, washed and dressed the children, and dispatched them to school ; the infant at her breast she also cleaned, and afterwards herself. As soon as the unhappy mother had got rid of the children, she went up stairs into the loom-room, where the business was carried on, taking with her the infant at her breast; and in a few minutes after she came down stairs, and knocked violently at the parlour door, which was occupied by a Mrs. Ilott. On the latter opening the door, she saw Mrs. Mount ford, the mother, standing in the passage, with her gown sleeves tucked up to her elbows, and her hands and arms smeared with blood. Mrs. Ilott, on seeing such a spectacle, cried, " Good God, Mrs. 31ountford, what's the matter ?" To which she re plied, " Don't be frightened, I have cut little Sally's head off; send for the Police officers, and give me in custody, 1 want to be hanged ;" and so saying she walked deliberately into the street, with her hands and arms in the state described. The neighbours ran from their houses, and, on learning what she had done, took her into custody, and delivered her into the hands of the officers. The unhappy woman did not appear to fear the least for the horrid crime. Search was then made for the child, when, on some of the neighbours ascending the stairs leading into the loom room, they were found streaming with blood ; and on raising a trap-door at the top, they were horror struck at the terrific spectacle that presented itself. The body of the little creature was found lying close to the edge of the staircase. The head was severed, and lying about three feet distant, and swimming in gore. The razor with which the un natural deed was executed was lying near the head. The unfor tunate woman was conveyed to Bethnal Green watch-house, where she was visited by several gentlemen of the parish, who put different questions to her relative to the horrid transaction ; all of which she answered with the greatest composure and ap parent indifference. She conversed with great coolness, in which she said, " Poor Sally was a beautiful little girl," and that she loved her better than any of her other children ; she was not distressed, and lived happy with her husband. She stated that after she had washed and cleaned the baby, she first took a razor from the cupboard and sharpened it on the hone and strop. She then cook the child in her arms into' the loom-room up stairs, and holding it on her knee, she held it by the head with her left hand, and with her right cut its head off with the razor and threw it away. Before she murdered the child she tried to hang herself, but could not find a convenient place.— Whilst she narrated the above she appeared quite unmoved,and repeatedly asked if it rained. Mr. Welsh and Mr. Bowen, surgeons, arrived at the house, and gave it as their opinion that the head was severed from the body almost with one stroke.— Collier, the beadle of the parish, was dispatched to give the in formation to Mr. Unwin, the Coroner, in order that an inquest on the body may be immediately held. The body and head, and also the razor, remain in the same situation they were found, and - two officers are placed in the house. Vast multi tudes were assembled the whole of the day in front of the house, and around the watch-house in Church-street, anxious to catch a glimpse of the unnatural parent. It is stated that a requisition to the High Sheriff of this county is in course of signature, for a meeting " to consider of a Petition to Par. liament on the general distress of the Country, and on the necessity of a Reform in Parlia ment."—Notwithstanding the distress which is stated so generally to pervade the Country, it is singular, but gratifying to learn, and we state the fact from undoubted authority, that the guar- terly collection of the Land and Assessed Taxes, which has just been completed in this County, was never made with more facility, or with a smaller number of defaulters.—(Kentish Gazette.)

COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS, DUIUNG THE LAST WEEK. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, May 7. The supply of Wheat and Flour was tolerably fair, but of all other articles very trifling. The market being but thinly attended by country dealers, and the home demand baring slackened, none but the best Wheat supported its price : the middling qualities were 2d. per bushel cheaper. Oats were not so ready sale as on this day week, yet the holders were asking higher prices, the stock hers being light. All other articles remain nominally at our former currency.
