THE LONDON JOU/U:AL-,. DAILY tXTPACTS FROM Tilt: , MORNING PAPERS. February 7, 182'2. LYEW. TIMES. ] Now that the Parliamentary discussions have begun, we may expect to see the questions which have for some time „past agitated. the country brought to aclear understanding. Some rubbish his been already cleared away-. Opposition has sent Out . i ts.eidons perdus, Sir F. Burdett and Mr. Joseph Hume; each of whom, after much firing is the . ail•., retired, and left the ground clear'for more .weighty combatants. A chieftain of a higher class, Mr. Brougham, is next to exhibit his prowess ; ; and from what has already dropt fromthe.Learned Gentleman, we - expect that his principal .object of attack will be the Sinking _Fund. Still we presume these are only prepara tory'. Movements in the tactics of Opposition ; and.that Mr, Tierney himself will finally appear at the . head of -his forces as Commander-in-Chief. Hitherto, the doctrines of the Opposition Mem bers have been as various as their faces, and there i 5 no discovering any tenable principle on which tt...y can all, unite for the great and laudable pur -pose of- overthrowing their political antagonists. In such a state of things it would be vain to can vaSS-general arguments, on which no stress might eventually be laid by either party. We must wait till we see on what grounds the Members of Opposition mean to take their stand, before we can either praise or censure them as a body. One or two incidental points, however, have arisen, which it may not be improper to notice. Of these we may particularly advert to the Malt Ta*„ . witicb seems to have given rise to some strange . misconceptions. A. Noble Lord, at a late County Meeting, -is reported to have said, " during the harvest the harvesters still have beer, on every pot _of which there is, one way or another, paid to Government a duty of three-pence." We presijrne his Lordship meant 'to allude to the general._ duties On Beer, Malt, and Hops. Now on the beer brewed and delivered by the fariner to !Lis. work people, the beer duty is not charged at ail. .fkarvest Ifeer is commonly brewed at the rate. o f not less than . fi ve, probably six, barrels (of :," , 6 gallons each) to the quarter ; and as the duty oh a quarter of malt is 28 shillings, or 336 pefte, tt na the number -of pots of such beer is 14410, the duty paid to Government on each pot, both for malt and hops, is not a halfpenny. • [THE TIMES.] The dispatches from Lord Wellesley . cover a petia of,neatfy one month, extending from the :3dif.4anuary to the 29th. It appears, we re.- grefo : stati.i that the disturbances continued in crOtiv.* dUrineall.this time. In the first dis patch,. the greatest number of men mentioned as assOnbled in hostile array is 200. The last dis- Patch speaks or as many thousands, and the mis chief effected by the Insurgents is in proportion to thki,r, augmented ferce. What projects Mi nisters - - May have itvtontemplation for the sup pression of those disturbances we know not.- -LOrd: .LiVerpool said it was his intention to arm the Executive Government with addi tional I) . owv-s, Jiut ,only. during the Session of . Parlfilment ; and similar expressions were used... bf , Lnrd. .Castlereagh ; but there does not appear in fhe pohlished part of the Marquess divatchesiny call for penal emict Ifir:.Lordship -simply states, that - 44 he had .r.e.sortetrt . 6..additional measures of precau tion; and military operation ;" and a Mr. Wil son,- tiiie o 4 •his• Lordship's correspondents, says, " that all the well-informed were most anxious for the renewal of .the Insurrection Act :" and expresses his own belief, -" if some strong measures were..not resorted to, or at least the old military stations again-occupied., that the county of Tip perary would soon be as bad as that of Limerick." • , PRESS.] ' The Miniit s ei's seem to speak highly of their exertions in the wide field of retrenchment, and in particular 'they to one point ,which must - gratirying to the public—namely, the diminution of the salaries throughout the extended scale of official ranks, reaching even to the heads Of-the several . departments. This is precisely. as the matter- ought to be, and though this , reform has been but tardily yielded to the reiterated demands of the public, it will be received- with. the sincerest satisfaction. — It was ,a' measure suggested by the plainest and most' obvious principles of common justice, that the men who regulated the reduction of salaries among the persons of the lowest ranks, shouldextend the principle to themselves, and to others within their department. W trust that the .amonut-of the Civil List will not, in the getieral distress .of the country, be consi. 7 dere& too sacred to be. touched with the prun ing,,,knife.. There is . a rank• luxuriance in its .spreading branches which 'cannot be pleasing to the public - eye; and it :would be no less a Mea sure of wisdom and prudence, than of expe diency and -justice, toirender-it more consist ent than it.,xis at present with the general state of the country. • Cligg'Sf-NG ItERALD.] .rt appears from the proteedings in both Houses on the opening of Parliament, that Ministers are. resolved to enter 'forthwith into the most import 'ant pUblic tifsinesS of the Session. Neither of Ihe.diviSions on the two amendments to the Ad dress are any - index to . the . relative strength or - the two sides in the House of Commons. The fate of Mr. Iftene's motion for pressing upon the' •notice of the EXetutive Government, in an uncom 'promising 'form, the necessity Of retrenchment, is not decisive even upon that topic. The amend ment of Sir F. Burdett for postponing the consi deration, of the Speech, though borne out by Parliamentary usage, was rendered -unneces sary from the change of tone in the Speech from the Throne, which now-a-days .pledges the House to nothing' beyond- mere generalities. The Honourable Baronet reiterated his recom mendation of Parliarnentary Reform, and, we :think, by 'rather a hasty or short-sighted association, compared his adherence to this. . • • '• 'efarnai theme ; with the .dekn a . ert Cal kV° of the ~Itornan Senator. The Anti-Reformers might :remind hiM that the fulfilment of the last- Mentioned policy Was a fatal blow. fo the power and liberty of Roine. This question 'is shortly ' ..to be brought before - the Udine by Lord Ebring ton -; and, it appers, with the CO-Operation of the Westminster Reforthers—as the Hon.' Ba ronet-has formally declared his abandonment of Universal Suffrage. The Agricultural QUestion comes before the lionse of Commons next week, under the auspices of Ministers. It was not in timated what precise course would be proposed; lAA' Lord_ Londonderry stated' that the subject had undergone, mature deliberation, [ZIIORNINg POST.] We mentioned briefly yesterday the opening. of the SessiOn and the proceedings with which it had been attended. A small portion of the veil which - covers the views and intentions of his Ma jesty's Government has been raised,. but.as from the little which has been seen it would be both impossible to form an exact- estimate of what may conie, and unjust to attempt it, we shall only describe the course which Ministers have marked out for themselves in their trans actions with Parliament, and through Parlia ment with the country. It may serve to give some insight into the general line of their policy, but certainly not a sufficient one to afford a basis for argument. The only point on which it removes all doubt, is their determination to meet at once the difficulties of the times in the face. There appears- to be no dispo sition to delay, no shrinking on their part.— This very day the Marquis of Londonderry is to call the attention of the Commons to the state of Ireland ; and in the Peers, the Earl of Liverpool has not only laid on the table the correspondence of the Lord Lieutenant with the Secretary of State.for the Home Department, but it is already printed, and in .the hands of their : Lordships. On or before Friday se'nnight, the. Marquis of Londonderry has announced his intention of bringing before Parliament the. great- questiOn of Agricultural distress, ,an4l ,of opening the view which Ministers . take of -, the subject, and of the remedy proper to be applied.. 'ln the course of the following week,. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on moving for the repeal of the present Act relative to Superannuations, will set forth the rectuctions which Ministers have - made, and describe, as far as this can be done so early in the. Session, the condition of the revenue, and generally of the finances of the State. The Right. Hon. Gentleman has also declared that Govern ment were determined to maintain the public faith inviolate, and that he had no intention:of making any alteration in the circulating medium of the country. This readiness .to investigate and to explain, at a time when such mighty in terests are concerned in.the result, is a favour able and promising symptom ; nor is. it less grati fying to find, that even whilst demanding.fresh powers for the Irish Administration to suppress outrage and insubordination, the - first Minister of the Crown has declared, that in. no instance had those outrages..displayed a tra - ce - of disaffec , tiott,towards the Government,- or assumed. a re-- ligious complexion ; and that loyalty to - the - King glowed at this moment. in the. breasts . of the people at Limerick ) as fervently. as it did last year at Dublin. [SIOPNINg CII_IIOICI,E.] The declaration of. the Chancelldrof. the Ex chequer, on Tuesday night, enables: the country to see what, it. has to expect from Minigters.— Mr. Vansittart stated distinctly and.without dis;- guise, " that reductiorrof taxation would•be not only nugatory but mischievous—that the-reduc tion of taxation ; so far from atiordingL relief,' would end in .disappointment, and - - not. only would end in disappointment, but aggravate the distresses of agriculture." And yet- after , this'de claration, Sir E.Knatchbull, and the other Mem bers who have recently joined. in the cry against profuse Expenditure, and the call for Retrench ment, continued. to repose confidence in Minis ters ! We knew that those who expected". any effectual retrenchment from Ministers would be disappointed; because the system by which , they live ,and move requires the continuance of pro fuse and profligate expenditure ; but 'after the language held in the Reports of their Finance Committee=after the enumeration of the evils of a high taxation, and the necessity .for economy and retrenchment in - .the Report of- the Agricul tural Committee, attributed to Mr. Huskisson— (without dwelling on. the repeated declarations.. from Ministers in both Houses), we confess this unqualified condemnation of all reduction, all retrenchment—this eulogy of high.-taxation' and great expenditure, does indeed rather stir prise us. We expected to, hear them, in de- 1 ference at, least to their friends among th e County Members, profess a determination. to make every, practicable reduction ; and we were puzzled to think how. they would be .able to reconcile the recent appointments. of, Mr. Fre mantle and Dr. Phillimore to the sinecure situa tions of Commissioners for Indian Affairs, and of Mr. Keith Dongla4 to the sinecure situation of , Lay . Lord of the Admiralty, not ,to mention a number of other appointments .alluded to by Mr. uivfc, with these professions ; but it certainly. never occurred to us that even the very name of economy was to be proscribed, and that retrenchment and ruin, increased taxes and increased prosperity, were to be openly and undisguisedly declared. .synonitnous by nisters in tile presenc . e of Parliament and the, Country. The, country having thus been dis tinctly told that there is is to be no reduction, no economy, will be naturally an x i ous t o b ecome possessed of the panacea of Ministers for the overwhelming distress. That they would gladly tamper with the currency of the country is pretty evident, from the measures to which we are about to allude, and from the tentative decla ration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, deli vered by him withmuch complacency, that 44 he knew there were marty who thought the most im mediate and effectual relief would be attained by an extension of the currency." We cannot sufli 7 ciently warn the country.against the ruinous ex pedient of again interfering with the currency.' ANt *Sctr:snrre INTELLIGENCE. [mum vmttous .soracgs.] (No. XXX.) ASIATIC SOCIETY.—At a meeting of this So ciety on February 11, the Marquess of HasTiNos in the Ch*, the first volume of Malayan Miscel lanies, printed and published - at the Sumatran Mission press, was presented on the part of Sir StAmFonn RAFFLES. The novelty of such an undertaking reflects great honour on the spirit of its projectors ; it will, probably, eventually pos sess great interest. A letter Was read from Captain PRICE, eluci dating the inscriptions on certain ancient plates of copper, expected to contain the history of the temple of Badari Nath, said to be written in a character and language unknown► to the Brahmins in attendance at the temple. They prove to con tain simply royal edicts, containing grants of land ; and the character to be Sanscrit, though in a different form of the Deva Nagari. The dates' they record_ prove to be in the reign of a ki ng not known to history ; consequently, they afford no chronological assistance. An account of the trigonometrical and astro nomical operations for determining the heights and positions of the principal peaks of the Himalaya Mountains between hit. 31 deg. 53 Min. 10 sec., and 30 deg'.lB min. 30 sec. N, and long. 77 deg. 33 min. 4 sec. and 79 deg. 57 min. 22 sec. E. by Captain llonGsoN and Lieut. HERBERT, was read at this meeting; from which it appears that the highest of the snowy peaks within these limits is about 25,589 feet above the level of the sea : the lowest is about 16,043 feet above the same level. Within this space there are twenty peaks more elevated than Chimborazo, the most lofty summit of the Andes. This paper is peculiarly calcu lated to assist in estimating the proper allowances to be made for terrestrial refraction, attending the different levels of places, from Boo Net above the sea to 11,500 feet, as well observed from the plains to the hills, as from the hills to the plains. It is ordered to be printed ; and will form an im portant accession to geology and geography. STATUE OF ISIS IN - THE BRITISH - 11/11i Among the beautiful specimens of' Egyptian Sculpture, which at once annihilated every argu ment of Winkleman's, who Would condemn its principle's as meagre, hard; and unfaithful to na ture, may be cited the most exquisite fragment of a fetnale • statue, probably of - Isis, now lying in the vestibule of the British Museum. This figure is perfect from thewaist and measures abOut five feet. It is formed of one block of white marble, and is executed with a softness and symmetrical beauty which vie with any Statues of antiquity. The faCe appears to be the Goddess Isis, and while it ptesents the Nubian cast of features, it is so delicately formed that it breitheS a most. peculiar and winning softness of expression. The cheeks are high and promi nent, but finely rounded and full ; the eyes so sharply sculptured that they seem finished but yeSterday. The.mouth is all but breathing; the lips having the marked breadth of expression so perfectly the Egyptian' style, with the small but highly important 'edge that marks their curve in speaking, which might appear on the eve of tak;. ing place, frOm the masterly delineation of the mouth. This fine head was crowned' by an asp, dia dem, with the usual folds or lappets falling down on the chest, as - appears in all the figures of Isis, and with the •Nulitaiifeatures represented on the Sycamore Saroophagi %ditch inclose the mummies. She has also the collar (the Rabid of the initia tion) which• is• most delicately sculptured. Indeed the impressions which the contemplation of thiS figure excites,' are those of wonder and astonish meta that a form of such beauty could haVe been the workmanship of an Egyptian artist. _ _ GEoLoo - sr.—Tire labonrs of the NaturaliSt D. G. 131tocCUI promise to be of considerable importanCelo this science ; his last work, intitled Salto Stato Fisico del Sudo Romano, is the fruit of a long residence at Rome. It consists of a large coloured "chart, in royal folio, representing the various superficies of the soil, with two co loured tableS; and - descriptive letter-press. The author is - now ernployed upon a similar work, which cannot fail to prove interesting to natural ists, as it will treat of the geology of Latium, and of the Ciminian (Viterbo) mountains, respecting which but little is._yet known. NATURAL ISTOR Y.—A plant very celebrated at Chandernagore, in the East Indies, under the name of Chirayita, has been imported into France, where a memoir has been published by M. Virey, on the subject of 'its medicinal quali ties, Which he states to be very powerful. It is a strong bitter, and is Celebrated in the East for its efficacy as a febrifuge. There is no doubt but that it might be advantageously employed in Europe for the gout, and for weaknesses of the .digestive organS At present, we have no accu rate and complete botanical description of this plant; - but M. Virey conjectures, both from the flowers and from the traces of the fructification adhering to the specimens he has receiVed,as also from the details respecting it in the Asiatic Researches, - that it is a species of gentian, and .accordingly denominates it Gentiana Chirayita. Sir T. S. RArr.r.rs has sent-to England several skeleton of animals from Suniatra; among these is the Dugong. This creature grazes at the bot lont of the sea without legs, and is of the figure and form of the whale ; the position and struc ture of its mouth enables it to browse upon the futi and submarine algae like a cow in a Mea dow ; and the whole - structure of the masticating and digestive organs shews it to be truly herbi vorous. It never visits land; or freSh water, but lives in shallow inlets, where the water is two or three fathoms deep. Their usual length is eight or nine feet.- But a curious, and to some, per haps, the most interesting part of the detail of the history of this animal is, that the flesh re sembles young beef, being .very delicate . and juicy. The SOCIETY Of F ENDS •Of NATURAL His- Tony in Frankfort reso,lved to send some corn.. petent persons to Egypt. In consequence of this determination, Messrs,. Geist and Ilegl, ho noured with its speCial commission, and provided with instruments and all the necessary apparatus for catching birds, insects, &c. set out du the 27th of October, to be joined at Leghorn,•4 M. Roupel ; one of the most active - members of tie society, who has rendered - it important vices, with whom they, are to proceed to visit that interesting country. M. Roupel travelled thither some,years, ago, and there the more reason to expect that the object Of the journey will be perfectly acconipliShed, becatise the society has provided the travellers with every thing that can contribute to the success of the enterprise. Among other things, they are the bearers of a diploma, (a masterpiece of the calligraphic art) by which the celebrated Mahomet Ali, Pasha of Egypt, is nominated an Honorary Member of the Society.- It is written in German ;- but at Leghorn an authentic translation will be added to it, in the Lingua.Franca, which is spoken all over the Levant, and with which the Pasha is well acquainted. - NEW METAL.—Counsellor Giesse, of Dorpat, has communicated to the world the discovery of what he at•present thinks to be a new metal, ex tracted from the residue of English sulphuric acid, on distilling it to dryness.. 'One variety left, out,of 16 ounces, 9+ grains of a white resi duum, •in which there was no sulphate of lead. It changed colour several times during the ex, periments made upon it, and he thinks 'it was formed of the sulphur employed in manufac turing the acid. It is susceptible of oxidation, and its alkaline combinations • form double salts with acids. Still the Professor's details are judged,- on the• whole, to be inconclusive. S6ULPTURE.—'rhorvaldsoi is about to execute at Cracow a monument of the young Count Po tocki, who fell in battle, at the age of 26. The youthful hero affords a fiue•sub,ject for sculpture, as he was- a perfect model of manly beauty at: the period of its complete developement. - The artist finished the model for the statue in the short space of five days. He has now nearly completed his exquisite statue of Jason,. after an interval of ten years from its commencement ; and also another of his master-pieces, the Mertnry, intended for the Prince Esterhazy. - One of his most recent productions is the buSt of the Crown Prince of Bavaria, which; independently of its merit as a work of art ; worthy the chisel of this admirable sculptor, is interesting for - the extreme resemblance it possesses to the original.
