TILE LONDON JOURNALS. EVIR kLTS FROM THE I) I I I,lr MORNING PAPERS, March 4, 1822. rMORNING HERALD.] In the year 1813, the population of England, Wales, and Scotland, was about ten millions, and the annual taxation, was about seventy mil lions; in that year, therefore, the taxation for each person, man, woman, and child, amounted to the sum of seven pounds. In the year 1821, the population was about fourteen millions, and the taxation was about fifty-four millions. The taxation, therefore, in the year 1821, did not amount to more than four pounds each person, while the taxation for 1813 amounted to seven pnunfls each person. This is rather a singular fact, after the assertions which have been made at all the Agricultural Meetings, as to the op pressive effect of the taxation for the last year. [BRITISH PRESS.] The signal defeat of the Ministers on Friday night, upon Sir M. W. Ridley's motion for the reduction of two Lords of the Admiralty, offers no slight cause for public congratulation. The di minution in the public expenditure proceeding from this reduction alone does not exceed 2,0001. a year ; but, although this sum may appear in it self trifling and of little importance, it is not even for its amount to be despised as a saving, in this time of public distress. The value of the vote of the House of Commons, however, is by no means confined to this ; so large a majority against the Ministers as one of 54 in a House of no less than 314 members, argues the existence in the House of some feeling of sympathy for the distresses of the country, and an intention of com pelling the Ministers, w hether they will it or not, to fulfil the promise of economy and retrenchment hichwas graciously held forth toParliament in the King's Speech at the commencement of the Ses sion. Much advantage must likewise result from this vote, by shewing the possibility of the Ministers being defeated in the Home of Com mons. It certainly will furnish an argument against the advocates of a radical reform in the constitution of that assembly; but it cannot, of course, affect the expediency of correcting such particular abuses or absurdities in the representa tion of the people as may be submitted occasionally to the wisdom of the Legislature. This defeat of the Ministers acquires additional importance from coming so quickly after their virtual defeat on the preceding night upon the question of repealing the salt duties, and united with that event must prove to them, if not to the country, that the majority of the House of Commons feel that they have confided sufficiently long in the promises and representations of the Ministers, and that something more effectual for the relief of ,the country will henceforth be expected than empty professions, which are made without sincerity, to meet a momentary emergency, and forgotten without shame when the exigency is passed. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The great pressure of Parliamentary matter has prevented our adverting lately to Irish affairs. We have now only leisure to acquaint our readers, that one of the most important re presentations received by the Marquess of Wel lesley, and by him communicated in the dis patches, has been altogether disproved. We i!lade to the statement by the High Sheriff of the County of Down, that a considerable increase in the sale of arms had arisen in Belfast, and that the circumstance had given birth to a great sensation of alarm, lest the Associations of the South should display themselves in the North.' —The Sovereign of Belfast, much to his ho nour, caused returns to be made by all the ven ders 6f arms in that town, which completely shew that the fact is not as stated to Lord Wel lesley. In the Irish prints some other most import ant information upon the subject of the dispatches has appeared, from which there can be no diffi culty in inferring that it is very unsafe to rely on the accounts of various transactions given in those documents. Such of our readers as are more immediately interested about Ireland will find ample matter for observation in the Irish Papers, particularly The Dublin Evening Post. —Every eye is now turned on the Marquis of Wellesley, in expectation of some measures for ameliorating the condition of the unfortunate country he governs. We have entire reliance in, the disposition and zeal of his Lordship, but we confess that we cannot place much hope in a Cabinet so constituted as is the Irish.— Mr. Goulburn, however upright and honour able, is yet a strong enemy of Catholic Eman cipation ; we cannot at all understand the reason of associating two individuals in the conduct of the affairs of a country who differ in the most important and critical measure regard ing'it ; but, difficult as it is to understand Mr. Goulburn's appointment, far more incomprehen sible and strange is Lord Manners's continuance in Chancery—his Lordship does not merely differ from the Noble Marquess in the great constitu tional question referred to, but participates in all the feelings of that wretched cabal whose do rninationLord Wellesley was destined, we thought, to supersede. But Sir G. F. Hill and Colonel Blacker are still at the Irish Treasury—Lord Manners is Chancellor—Mr. Saurin attends the Council4—and the Orange faction need not yet be dispirited. [NEW TustEs.l This day it will be seen what degree of confi dence is entertained by the Fundholders in a Government, which, for so long a succession of years, has watched over and protected their in terests. The Books which are opened for an expression of dissent from the conversion of the Five per Cents. will, we trust, remain nearly blank. 'We speak with a view not only to the general benefit of the country, hut of the Fund holders themselves. If, from a selfish desire to secure to themselves, a little longer, the enjoyment of a higher dividend, they threw obstacles in the way of an equitable arrange ment_; they may, indeed, injure the public credit of the country, but they must, at last, be the greatest sufferers themselves.—Various :statements have been made in different Papers, of the mode which Government means to adopt in -paying off the Dissentients, if any should inscribe their name for that purpose. These statements are all purely imaginary. Govern ment will take no decision as to the mode of payment, until they see what amount they will have to provide for. When that is grace ascer tained, it will then be time enough to determine whether they shall pay off the holders wholly, or by instalments—whether they will take them numerically, alphabetically, by lot, or in any other way. A very ridiculous objection is started in a Sunday Paper. It is said that the Five per Cents. are a joint stock, and therefore they must be paid off at once, or not at all. There is not the slightest shadow of a ground for this state ment. It is absolutely in the power of Govern ment to pay off the Stock as it pleases ; and any body who dissents from a measure so clearly equitable is entitled to no favour of any sort. — To grant them any benefit or ailvantage what ev•er, would be a robbery on the public, for whose interest the Government acts in this measure.— We believe that few persons will place them selves in a situation to provoke 'any measure of severity towards them ; but if they do, little pity will be shewn by the public at large to their dis appointed selfishness and rapacity. What we say to the Fundholders, we also say to the Land holders ; neither class of persons, at a crisis like the present, should push their separate in terest against that of -the nation at large. The Government seems disposed so to modify the Corn Laws as eventually to raise the price of corn in favour of the British grower. But even this is done with a view) on the other hand, to maintain inviolate the faith of the nation toward the public creditor. lie is fairly entitled to the aid of an efficient Sinking Fund; the amount of which "ought certainly not to be less than five millions. The most liberal and enlighted Land holders candidly admit the truth of this posi tion ; and therefore they have given their support to the Salt Tax (a tax not bearing peculiarly hard on agriculture), well knowing that with out an efficient taxation there can be no efficient Sinking Fund. [THE TIMES.] We compared the continuance of the salt du ties for one year longer, to the loss of a great battle by the nation. The dismissal of two use less Lords of the Admiralty may be considered as the gaining of a small skirmish. So that, in this view of the subject, we are not yet 44 quits" with the enemy. However, the last advantage., though trifling in its amount, was yet carried i❑ so decisive a manner, as to have thrown great confusion into the ranks of the opposing army, from which they are not yet recovered ; and their future attacks will be made with less confidence. We must again allude to the novelty in our his tory of an Administration which, even with a House of Commons constituted like the present, is unable to carry some measures which it professes to think useful to the country ; and carries others, which it declares to be essential, with so much difficulty, that it cannot have anti cipated success. A majority of only four would, with any other Ministry, have been considered as a shameful defeat. With respect to the division upon the Lay-Lords, the worst consequence which Lord Londonderry seemed to apprehend from that affair was the diminution of the influ ence of the Crown in the House of Commons. — His Lordship protested against " that mode of " reforming, the House of Commons piecemeal.— " Had they been fairly told that the influence " of the Crown in Parliament was excessive, the 44 question must have been met upon a broad " principle." This " broad principle" is some thing like the 44 fundamental argument " of old, spo,ken of by his Lordship. The weight is, unfortunately, hung all on one side, and mightily retards the progress of the State to affluence.— How great that change is which has gradually taken place in the constitution of the House of Commons is evinced by the corresponding' change which has taken place in men's manner of think ing and reasoning upon the subject. Ancientlj, whatever weight the Crown might possess in the House, whatever dominion it might ex ercise over its members, the fact was never allowed in argument—it was never assumed as an ac knowledged truth—it was winked at ; but now the influence of the Crown over the popular branch of the Constitution is avowed in fact, and justified upon principle. It is asserted that the influence is and ought to be great ; it is only maintained that it is not too great. Good God ! In a division of a tolerably full House, in which the numbers are 169 and 165, there are found sixty-one Servants of the Crown who, of course, have voted all on one side ! [MORNING POST.] SALT TAX.—The motion for the repeal of the imposts on salt having created some effervescence in the public mind,is a circumstance that gives rise to some serious reflection. When we consider that this tax produces a million and a half to the revenue, and is not only collected in an easy manner, but is at the same time the least oppressive of all the public burdens, we cannot help regretting that such a motion should have been so respectably supported as to have bee❑ lost only by a ma jority of four votes. The " Encyclopcedia of Finance," with all the figures of its contents, could not have originated a scheme more liable to objection, or less fraught with general advantage. As the manufacturers of salt, and the dealers in the article, are the most competent to explain the nature of the plan in question, it is to be hoped that they will honestly explain their sentiments on the subject, in order to guard the country from the adoption of an expedient, the imme diate tendency of which would be to deteriorate the national credit, destroy the legitimate pro spects of a numerous class of meritorious indivi duals, whilst it would derange the wise financial plan approved of by the House of Commons, without producing any visible benefit to the com nunity. The success of the plan for reducing the Five per Cent., continues to be considered as pretty certain. ,It can only be endangered by such a fall in the funds as shall render it more eligible to the holders to take money than the bonus 'offered, which is by no means a probable event. This is the day fixed on for in scribing the dissentient names in the books at the Bank, and some more correct opinion may then be formed of the actual result. With respect to the payment of those who dissent, it is under stood that a number will be affixed to each name, and that the first dissentient will be paid in full, and his successors in the order of their numbers, as far as may be found practicable. Should the stock be sold, the number will accompany it, and the purchasers of that stock will be similarly liable to the first payment. This is considered by many as the most objectionable part of the measure ; but a payment of the dissentients in equal portions, say of 10 or 20 per cent. would removeall the objections of those interested.—(M.) COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS, DURING THE LAST WEER. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Feb. 26. We had a heavy supply of Wheat and Oats to this day's market, principally from Ireland, and, the demand being very inadequate, to have forced it off, less prices must have been submitted to than were obtained on this day week. Both malt ing and grinding Barley were very dull sale, but not lower; neither was Malt; but for this, as well as Beans, there is little inquiry. Sweet American Flour supports it price; but fur old and stale there is no demand. Sour Flour, free, be ing in one or two hands, there is little fluctuation in price.

DAVID was the son of XANTES, Prince of Cereticu, now Cardiganshire, by MACARIA, a nun ; and what has tended still more to endear his memory to the descendants of the ancient Britons, uncle to King ARTHUR. Educated in the famous monastery of Bangor, for the service of the church, St. DAVID early became conspicu ous for every qualification requisite for that holy and important duty. He was learned, elegant, zealous, and, justly esteemed one of the noblest and most able ministers who ever preached the gospel to the Britons- After having been or dained priest, he retired to the Isle of Wight, embraced the ascetic life, and sedulously studied the Scriptures. From this seclusion he removed to Menevid, a city of Pembrokeshire„ on the most western promontory of Wales, at which place, and in its vicinity, he founded twelve con vents for the promotion of devotional knowledge. The recluses who were admitted within these sacred edifices were selected from the mist amiable of his followers; and, unlike the lazy usage of such asylums in after times, they were compelled to maintain themselves by agricultural labour, and to affortj, from the profit of their ex ertions, assistance to all the neighbouring poor. Such, indeed, were the primitive regulations of the greater number of monastic institutions ; but the abominable and luxurious indulgencies into which they afterwards aberrated, the page of history amply unfolds. About the year 577, the Archbishop of CAERLEON resigning his see to St. DAVID, with liberty to transfer that high office from its original seat, Menevid became the me tropolis of Wales, and St. DAVID its first Arch bishop, a dignity which Alenevid, or St. David's, as it was afterwards called, enjoyed until the year 1100, when it was again reduced to a Bishopric, and placed under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY. In this great charge our Saint lived with exemplary piety for 65 years, during which period he combated, and at length overcame, the PELAGEANS (Socinians), a sect that sprang from PELAGEAS, or MORGAN, a Briton, who denied original sin, and held other heretical opinions. In the year 642, St. DAVID, after having reached the very advanced age of 146 years, died and was buried in the church of St. ANDREW, supposed to have been founded by St. PATRICK, about the year 470 from which time, not only the church, but the city of Menevid, and the whole diocese itself, were, out of compliment and respect, dedicated. to St. DAVID, and called by his name. The Welch, who are the pure descendants of the an cient Britons, regard St. DAVID as their TUTELAR SAINT, and annually hold festive meetings on the Ist of March, which was formerly solemnly de dicated to his remembrance, with every mark of conviviality. In the year 640, the Britons under King CADWALLER gained a complete victory over the Saxons ; and St. DAVID is considered not only to have contributed to this victory by the prayers he offered to Heaven for their success, but by the judicious regulation he adopted for rendering the Britons known to each other by wearing LEEKS in their caps, drawn from a large garden near the field of action; while the Saxons, from a want of some such distinguishing mark, fre quently mistook each other, an d dealt their fury among themselves, almost indiscriminately slaying friends and foes. From this circumstance arose the custom of the Welsh wearing leeks in their hats on ST. DAVID'S DAY ; a badge of honour considered indispensable upon the occasion, and to have been established from the very period designed to be commemorated. Several of our oldest authors allude to the usage ; and SHAK. SPEARE makes Hamar the sth acknowledge to the gallant FLUELLEN his pride of joining in the practice : " I wear it for a memorable honour ; " For I am Welsh, you know, good countryman." Upon the whole it would appear, by indisputable authority, that ST. DAVID was a most amiable and virtuous character ; devout and humble to his Gon ; steady in the pursuit of benevolence, and diffusive charity ; and an unshaken supporter of the dignity of the Britons, to whom he owed his origin, and among whom he had the gratifi cation to be held as a much loved countryman. Tradition and the follies of some Monkish writers have, however, loaded his history with circum stances ill according with the general belief of the present day ; but it might be regarded as wanting in respect to some of his zealous ad mirers, were it not to be added that a belief prevailed for centuries, that the birth of this Saint was predicted 30 years before it took place : that an angel ministered to his wants, that the waters of Bath received their warmth and salu brious qualities solely from his benediction ; that he healed complaints of all kinds, and even re animated the dead ; that he was honoured with the descent from Heaven of a snow white dove, which sat upon his shoulder while he expou,nded the Scripture ; that the earth on which he stood was raised from its level, and became a hill, from whence his voice was better heard to an exten sive auditory, together with various other miracles equally astonishing and curious. It is confidently said that Mrs. COUTTS intends Without delay to settle 10,0001. per annum on the Marchioness of BITE, the Countess of GI-IL FORD, and Lady BURDETT, for their lives; and give 50,0001. to each of their daughters.—(Morn ing Herald.)
