THE LONDON - JOURNALS. 1/7L'PRACTS FROM THE DAILY IttORNING PAPERS, July It), 1822. [MORNING POST.] In the House of Commons last night Mr. W. Courtenay called the attention of the House to letters written by Mr; Hope and Mr. Menzies to 341 r. Abercromby, on the subject of a speech - Which he lately delivered en the case of William Murray Borthwick., The fetters were voted to amount to a breach of the privileges of the House r and the writers of them are ordered to appear at the.bar. An order was made for Mr. Abercromby to attend in his place forthwith. — The officer who was dispatched to serve the order soon returned, and reported that Mr. Abercromby had left his home, and was not ex pected to return for eight or ten days. It was supposed that he had set off for Scotland, and in the apprehension of a breach of the peace being contemplated, a messenger was dispatched in pursuit . of him on the North road, with the Order . of.the House, while-a second messenger set out for Scotland to command the attendance of Messrs. Ilope and Menzies. Here the matter rests for the present; and upon so deli Cate a sub ject we shall wait the result before we offer any, observations respecting it. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Our readers will see from some proceedings iii the House last night, the lengths to which the baffled and exposed party in Scotland are dis posed in their desperation to go. Mr. William Courtenay called the attention of the House to a Letter to the HonOurable James Abercromby, M.P. by Jobe Hope, Esq.," and a correspon dence between Mr. Menzies and Mr. A bercromby, ' 'with dome accompanying observations, published in The Courier of Mouday;as containing passages calculated- to.. bring the parties into personal and hostile contact, and forming part of a system which if allowed to proceed would, :be Subversive of the first privileges of the • House. From what fell from Mr. Tierney, there is but too much reason to apprehend that ..s - erious consequences may ensue. The Messenger . dispatched with an Order of the House to Mr. Abercro►nby, which had for object the adoption of measures calculated to obviate these conse- quences, returned, after an interval, with a report that .I‘lr. Abereromby had gone out yesterday betweeti twelve and two o'clock, and had taken his butler with• him; that he was not expected to return for ten days, and that it was believed he had taken the Barnet road. The Messenger was afterward , . dispatched with a chaise and four, in pursuit of My. AbercrOmby. • • [MORNING HERALD.] The letters that have been addressed to Mr. Abercromby by Mr. Hope and Mr. Menzies, Deputies of the Lord Advocate. of Scotland, in consequence of Mr. A.'s speech relative to the Scotch Government prosecutions of Mr. Stuart and Borthwick, were last night brought before the House of Commons. They severely reflect on Mr. Abercromby's speech, attributing, as will be seen - by .the Parliamentary Report, wilful misrepresentation to the Iron. Member. As was stated, the language of the letters was calculated to occasion personal hostilities ; and besides voting them to be breaches of privilege, the House adopted prompt measures to gain possession of the parties, and to prevent, if possible, fatal con sequences.. Mr. Abercromby was ordered to at tend-in his place "forthwith.". Mr. Spiller," a Messenger .of the House of Commons, irmne diately proceeded to the Honourable Member's residence in ,Spring-gardens. He was there in formed that Mr. Abercrombie had left townshortly before two o'clock yesterday afternoon; that ,some individual accorlipanied Mr. A.; and that the chaise had taken the Barnet road. It 'was ascrtained that Mr. A. was on his road to Edin burgh, whence the letters of Mr. Hope and Mr. Menzies are dated. The absence of Mr. A. - was made known to • the House ; but in the, mean time Mr. • Peel had retired to the Speaker's Chamber, and there , prepared the requisite powers for the taking of the Lord Advocate's two Deputies into custody wherever they might be found, to secure their observance of the peace. With such warrants a King's Messenger was sent to Scotland, and he was accompanied by Mr. Stein, a Messenger of the CODIETIOIIS,4O serve the Order of the. House on the two Advocates.— Soon after the Messengers had left in a post- Chaise and four, they were followed by Mr. Spiller, another Commons' Messenger, with the , Order of the House to be served on -Mr. Aber cromby, to attend 'in his seat -in .Parliament "'forthwith." This Messenger also left London in a post-chaise and four; so that if the several Messengers are tolerably active they may arrive in Edinburgh time enough to prevent any hostile meeting between the parties. [BRITISH PRESS.] Mr. Western's importaht Resolutions on the state of the country were to have come on last night, but the House was taken up with a new and very enormous breach of privilege committed by some of those functionaries of the law and conservators of the King's peace who have done such miracles for the morals and tranquillity of the realm it, Scotland. A few days ago Mr. Abercromby was compelled to bring before the notice of the House the conduct of the Lord Ad vocate and several of his deputies, who had been concerned in the infamous Beacon, and the tur bulent and fatal consequences which grew out of itsmiost scandaloug libels. Two Advocates, named Hope and Menzies, were referred to by Mr. Abercromby in the course of his state ment---4which, it is to be remarked, was . .one' of exemplary moderation throughout. These' persons, with whom the Lord Advocate COft- , lesced—to strengthen the general • peace.and attachment to the laws of course—have sought an explanation. Mr. Hope manifests his respect for, the constituted authorities by a - pamphlet, in which be charges Mr. Abercromby - with wil ful misrepresentation, injustice, illiberality, and all the other deadly this ascribed, by orderly Tories to seditious Whigs. Mr. Menzies makes his application personal, and receiving a frank and manly acknowledgement of the terms in which his conduct had been described by-Mr. Abercromby, pronounces in a published letter that the allegations—taken from the records of a Court of Justice (for the pleas are all recorded in Scotland)—are unwarranted, groundless, and false!

Total - - - 12285 12 [THE TIMES] The expediency of renewing the Irish Insur rection Act was argued on Monday in the House of Commons, when Mr. Goulburn moved the committal of the Bill. The ground on which this measure was recommended by the Secretary, and indeed we must say, approved, or at least tolerated, by a large proportion of the usual opponents of Ministers, was, that the spirit of disaffection in the country had not yet suf ficiently abated. We cannot contest such a point, so recognized ; and looking to the guilt that would be incurred both by those who as serted and by those who acknowledged the ne cessity, if it should appear hereafter that it was not real, we must, though far from being satisfied, sit down-in a sort of watchful acquiescence, until a further oppcKtunity shall be furnished of de ciding with what justice a weapon so unconsti tutional has been now required, and with what degree of temper it will have been exercised by the Irish Government. There is one considera tion, indeed, which may be allowed some weight in reconciling reasonable men to the continu ance of this tremendous power—namely, the in creased responsibility which it lays upon the head of the Minister who employs it. If Ire land should unhappily remain disturbed, and the general wretchedness undiminished, the Minister, whose demand of more extensive means of coercion had been refused by Parliament, would find a short answer to all attacks upon his conduct, in the nakedness and inadequacy of his powers. The grant, therefore, of this prodigious force, to be applied, as is understood, to the restoration of tranquillity among the. Irish, takes away all such pretences, and becomes a formal pledge to the people, that the time and leisure thus afforded to their rulers will not be employed in merely devising new coercive laws, or fresh pretexts for the prolongation of old abuses. (No. 2.)—LIST of the SERVANTS belonging to the Esta , blishment of the late Queen CAROLINE, who were in her Majeity's Service at the time of her Death ; to whom it is proposed to.make an Allowance of One Year's Wages. [NEW TIMES.] It will be seen by our Parliamentary Report that there is too much reason to fear an unplea sant -rencontre may take place (unless speedily prevented) between Mr. Abercromby and one of the Gentlemen of the Scotch Bar, who conceive themselves to he injured by his expressions in the debate of the 25th of June. Two letters to Mr. Abercromby have,already been published, one in The Courier by Mr. Menzies, and the other in the shape of a pamphlet, by Mr. Hope.— Not wishing to exasperate the feelings of either party, we shall abstain from quoting the expres sions which have any personal allusion. We have no doubt but that Mr. Abercromby meant solely to discharge a public duty, though we must say, he appears to have been extremely un fortunate in his means of obtaining information, and perhaps somewhat precipitate in trusting to the information he received, without more minute inquiry. These, however, are errors (if errors they may be called) which admit of an easy and amicable explanation ; and we trust that such will be the result of any further discussion that may arise on this unpleasant affair. Already have the political disagreements of Scotland oc casioned to Society too painful a loss in the death of an amiable, accomplished, and high-spirited Baronet. It s time to look back with candour upon the origin of these dissensions, that we may look forward with liberality to their ter mination. It is a nototious fact, that one party had for years wielden the weapons of satire and calumny, almost without resistance ; and that the other party at length took up the pen in their own defence. When those who had long ,been monopolisers of scandal felt their shafts retorted upon themselves, they exhi bited an almost ludicrous sensibility 'to the pain of the infliction, and described in wild and exaggerated terms the injury they bad sustained. Thus The Beacon was described as the most flagitious paper ever published ; and yet when Lord Archibald Hamilton brought an action against the Proprietors, and laid his damages at Five - Thousand Pounds, an impartial Jury awarded him One Shilling ! The Beacon was, in fact, mild and gentlemanlike, compared with The Scotsman; just as John Bull has not wantoned in, slander, or abused the power of the Press to purposei of malignity, one thousandth part so much as The Thnes.— After Lod Archibald's verdict, it would have been wise in the friends of Opposition to have left the Press of Scotland . to itself; more especially as there are several judicial proceed ings now pending in that country, which cer tainly ought to be kept as free as possible from all .external influence. In the end, the Opposi tion must be content 'to allow their adversaries the same Liberty of the Press which they them selves claim. THE EARL OF Po RTSM OUTIL—We are informed by •a Correspondent that the Earl of PORTS MOUTH, who has been for several months past in Edinburgh, arrived at the seat of Lord GRANT.. LEY, in %Surrey, on Thursday last, in company with Mr. NORTON,IIiS Lordship's nephew.—Since Lord PORTSMOUTH'S arrival, his Lordship has been brought up on a writ of Habeas Coipus, on - the application of her Ladyship's family, before Mr. Justice BAYtEY, where it is understood his Lordship dischised.circumstances of cruelty and indignity Practised on him at Edinburgh which had induced him to leave Scotland, and volun =tarily place himself ,under the proteetion of his Noble Relative, and that his 'Lordship declared 'bk would never return to those persons by whom he ha§ been so cruelly used. His Lordship left the Learned Judge's house, accompadied by WALKER Smunow, Esq., of Lincoln's Inn, and Lord GRANTLEY'S nephew. We understand that the facts made known to the Learned Judge are likely to be shortly brought before the Public.— (Morning Post.) From the LONDON GAZETTE of July 9. BANKRUPTCIES ENLARGED. J.

ENGLISH FEELING.—A small farmer in the einity of Manchester, not long since, killed - a cow, and sent part of the beef and a quantity of suet to his son,-a weaver, in Blackley, who hung it up so near the window, that some one in the night,broke a pane and carried off the suet. In the morn ing, the weaver missing his suet, went to the alehouse, where he posted up' the following advertisernent, which still remains an evidence of the right John generosity and Spirit : " Whereas; last night a quantity of beef suet was taken from the house of Thomas Wolstonecroft—this is to give 'Mace, that Krthe person who took it - away will appear and prove that he was forced to do so by, distress, the said,Thomas Wolstonecroft will live him a dozen of flour to make the suet into dumpling!. But' if he cannot prove thathe,was in distress - when he' stole it, the said Thomas li'asioneeroft will fight him and give hiM five shillings if he beats him." LAW INTELLfGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 9. BERRY V. GRINSTED. This was an action upon two bills of Exchange, the one for 7,0001., and the other for 5,000/., drawn by 'Messrs. Howard and Gibbs, upon and accepted by the defendant. The defence set up was, want of consideration and usury. There was m proof that the defentianthad received any value for the acceptances, which were given upon an annuity trans action with Messrs. Howard and Gibbs. The bills were dis counted by the,plaintiff, and it was suggested that he had taken usurious discount ; but it appeared that in a mistake in the calculation upon the discount, the plaintiff' had received about 20s. more than he was entitled to-. The CHIEF JUSTICE was of opinion that the usury was not made out, inasmuch as' there was no intention to take more than lawful interest, and consequently the transaction was not tainted with usury. Under his Lordship's direction, therefore, The Jury found for the plaintiff, damages 12,0001., exclusive of interest. THE KING V. SoUTHEN. This was an indictment against the defendant for a nuisance, in carrying on the business of a slaughterer, ih Warwick.lane, Newgate-street, to the great annoyance of his neighbours. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, the COMMON SERJEANT,• ➢lr. BOLLAND, and Mr. TINDAL conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. ADOLPHUS, Mr. COOPER, and Mr. KIRKMAN the defence. Several respectable neighbours proved that the defendant's° business was an intolerable nuisance. The defence was, that he conducted his business in as in noxious a manner as possible ; that there were eight or nine other slaughterers in the same lane, whose business was the source of the nuisance complained of ; and that the public benefit required that the supposed nuisance should be tolerated. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE was clearly of opinion that the defendant's business was a nuisance, and must be abated.— Verdict—Guilty. GIBBAV V. LLOYD. This was an action upon a policy of insurance on horses, on board the Aimwell, from Liverpool to Jamaica, warranted free of jetson and mortality. The horses, three in number, were killed on the voyage by the violent rolling of the ship, but they had arrived at their des tination. The question'was, whether this was a loss within the policy ? The defence was, that as the horses had arrived at their de stination, though dead, it was not a loss within the policy. It was agreed, on both sides, that the Jury should find a special verdict, in order to take the opinion of a higher tribu nal, and a verdict was found accordingly. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 9. LIBEL-SPENCER V. BUCKTON. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN stated, that the plaintiff in this case was a goldsmith and jeweller, residing at present in Clerken well. The defendant was in the same business, and lived in Birmingham. The plaintiff had been obliged to seek re paration at the hands of a Jury of his country, for an in.- jury attempted to be inflicted on his character through the means of an anonymous libel. He had been for some time an agent to the defendant's brother-in-law, but believing that he should benefit himself by the change, he had recently commenced business on his own behalf. Just at that time the defendant, who was then in his house eating his bread, drinking his drink, and sleeping under his roof, thought fit to return the plaintiff's hospitality by a libel, calculated to injure him in a most mater manner. The plaintiff was indebted to an attorney at Birmi ham in the sum of 381., and to that per son did the defendant meanly and basely send a comniunica tion, stating, that the plaintiff was shortly about " to leave this country for the Cape of Good Hope, and that if Benson had any business with him unsettled he had better look to it, or he would lose it." This allegation the defendant knew to have been com pletely false. In conseirence of this letter, Air. Benson hnme diately forwarded an affidavit of debt to his agent in town, who accordingly arrested the plaintifl: This the Jury well knew might be productive of the most serious injury to a young man just then commencing business, as it was calculated to destroy that credit so necessary for a young beginner. Three witnesses proved the letter to be the defendants hand l . writing, and the other circumstances were also given in evi dence. Mr. Serjeant PELL, for the defendant, to negative the spe cial damage complained of, produced letters of Benson to his agents, urging them to press the plaintiff for his debt, ancicalled one witness ' who was positive that the letter , complained of was not 'written by the defendant. Mr. Sprjeant VAUGHAN replied. Verdict for the'plaintiff—Damages, 1001. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. GAMBLING. Yesterday, George Pope was indicted for keeping a common gaming -house, in No. 77, Jermyn-street, St. James's. Mr. ANDREWS stated the case for the prosecution, and called M r. Peter Berard, who had been a Deputy Assistant Commissary General in the Army, but was dismissed by the sentence of a Court Martial. 'Witness had been ten or twelve times in the house between the 3d December last, and the month of Fe bruary, wheu,he commenced This prosecution. The house was Open to visitors from nine o'clock in the morning till twelve at night, and the witness had seen between thirty and forty per sons in the house at one time. The games generally played there were hazard, rouge et noir, and an deux claque, and the witness remarked that the players were, for the most part, if not always, losers. Mr. Henry Compton, a clerk in the Stage Coach Duty office, Stamp-office; corroborated Berard's evidence as to Pope's keeping the house in Jernayn-street. He had been frequently in it between 3d December and February last, and saw gam bling going on therein at all hours of the day, and the gaming_ room occasionally full. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 111 r. ALLE Y made an able defence for the defendant. The Jury found the defendant guilty, and he was sentenced to three months imprisonment in the House of Correction, and to pay a fine of 1001.
