THE LONDON. JOURNALS. NATRACTS FROM TILE DAILY MORNING PAPERS, May 9, 1322. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We have been charged by Mr. Hume with a gtoss misrepresentation in the notice we took of his declaration with respect to The Times News paper. By what mental process he can bring our observation under the head of misrepresen tation, either gross or slight, we are at a loss to conceive. He says he did not move for " any papers with a view to private transactions." We cannot pretend to know what his views were; but any one can judge of the object to which his observations tended. ile says, 4 C he had no anxiety to pry into the private affairs of any one, and no motion with that object was made by him." But when on the 15th of February last he moved for an Account of the Stamps issued by News papers, distinguishing the different papers, he Was in fact prying into the private affairs of in dividuals, and Ministers were evidently guilty of a gross neglect of duty in not opposing him. We know the extent of the powers of the Honourable House ; but we presume no one will allow that these powers ought to be exercised to the injury of individuals. We shall, however, leave this subject where it is, if we are allowed to do so.— We have no wish to inquire into the origin of his knowledge last year, of the peculiar nature of the relations between The Times and Govern ment, nor to animadvert on the manner in which -he availed himself of that knowledge then or since. If he have no wish to pry into the affairs of individuals, we for our part have no wish to pry into the secrets (if there are any) between him and The Times. The nature of his observa tion, however, on Tuesday night, was such that it was impossible we could pass it over without being guilty of injustice towards ourselves. [MORNING 'HERALD.] We understand that it is in the contemplation of a number of highly respectable Merchants to call a Meeting forthwith, for the purpose of memorializing the Legislature to he. pleased to acknowledge the Independence of the Southern timerican States. Several Merchants have al ready arrived in town from Liverpool, Manches ter, &c., and extensive orders have been received in this country for the supply of all descriptions of British manufacture, but the uncertainty of the present regulations prevents their being for warded. The benefits likely to result from so desirable an event have been so ofte❑ enu merated that it would be useless again to repeat them. The interest evinced by the most emi nent Merchants in the City, upon this subject, is such, that we hope his Majesty's Ministers will afford that timely attention which the import ance of the subject so deservedly merits. [BRITISH PRESS.] The adjourned discussion upon the Agricul tural Distress was-resumed last night in the House of Commons. The debate was commenced by Mr. Wyvilly who moved a resolution declaring that the best and most effectual means of afford ing relief to the agricultural distress of the coun try was to be found in a very large diminution of taxation. A principle similar to this has been advocated by a considerable proportion of the Members of Parliament during the present Ses sion, and it is very probable that had Mr. Wyvill given notice of his intention to move such a resolution, the House would have been better attended than it was last night. Upon a division, Mr. Wyvill united only thirty-seven Members in favour of his resolution, while those who opposed it amounted to 120. The 'division was taken at an unusually early hour, so that several Members who had proposed to share in it, but had momentarily retired from the House with the intention of returning, were un fortunately excluded. The House then resolved itself into the Committee, when the merits of Lord Londonderry's plan for regulating the im port of corn were again laboriously discussed. The Committee divided on Sir Thomas Leth bridge's resolutions, and they were negatived by a majority of 219 ; the numbers being for them 44, against them 2-13. Mr. J. Benett's resolu tions were negatived without a division, after which the Chairman reported progress, and ob. taihed leave to sit again. [MORNING POST] t is with heartfelt satisfaction we find that onr appeal to the generous feelings of Englishmen in ;}half of our famishing fellow-creatures in Ire land has been answered in a manner which roves that the people of this country, who have spontaneously sent forth relief to all the nations of the earth whenever calamity assailed them, so far from being less alive to the sufferings of a kindred population, rise in humane character ,anore splendidly than ever on this occasion, Proudly shewing that dear Old England is still the same—the seat of sympathy for the dis iressed, and of warm open-hearted beneficence -to all mankind. Who can look to the magnifi cent subscriptions which the two first days have produced (and which every succeeding one will not fail to increase) without pride as a man, and gratitude as a Christian--pride at belonging to such a people, .and' gratitude because a charitable disposition is' the choicest blessing that Provi dence can bestow on' an individual or a nation. It is a source of consolation and happiness to all that come within its. sphere here below, and it is the link which unites frail Humanity to Unbounded Goodness and the Divine Nature above. The results of st, h a work will be, like those of the Peace-maker — cc Peace to those that make peace." The union between the two countries will now be one of hearts, not merely of dames. The prejudices -excited in the breasts of the conquered by ages of injustice apd misgovernment on the part of the conquerors, and in those of the conquerors by the 'restlessness and lurking hostility of the con quered, will subside before this pledge of na tional sympathy aud• affection. LNEW TIMES.] The Agricuitural Question again occupied the attention of the House of Commons last night, and was again adjourned. The most remarkable I part of the proceedings was a proposition, so very strange and extraordinary, as to be almost incredible. It was nothing less than to strike off at once twenty millions of taxes! What is still more wonderful is, that the motion was made the subject of serious discussion and of a formal division. And this project was to be entertained, forsooth, for the purpose of pre serving to the landholders their rents! As if it could be carried into effect by any thing short of a convulsion which would deprive the Govern ment, legislative and executive, of every vestige of power—as if it were possible to break up the very constitution of society, and to preserve at the same time the safeguards of property. All who can indulge such monstrous expectations will do well to attend the next course of lectures on political economy that may be delivered at Bedlam. [THE TIMES.] The universal question in the city is, who wil take the new contract? From the Bank, it is understood, there are no hopes ; and we believe we may add with perfect confidence, that there is no list forming of private contractors, nor any class of monied interest entertaining the most remote intention of becoming competitors for the bargain. They prudently decline to lock up pro perty to so considerable an amount for so long a series of years, subject to all the contingencies of war and changes of administration, productive, too, it is possible, of ruin to themselves and their children. On the other hand, who that has ob served the way-feeling habits of the Chancellor of the Exchequer will conclude it possible that he has brought forward a scheme to which no one will listen—a contract for which no contrac tors are to be found ? We have heard it affirmed, on the contrary, that the Right Honourable Gentleman has declared that be fore he divulged the plan he was sure at least of one offer : but the source from whence it proceeds has not transpired. A few days will clear up the mystery ; but we must hope, in the mean time, that our remarks of yesterday will prove well founded, that he will admit of,no proposal for completing the contract which does not rest on funds bona fide existing previously to its being entered into, and not to be created for the purpose. It is exactly a century since a bubble exploded, which has become proverbial for all other delusions of the same class ; and though public credulity does riot flourish now as it did then, it is always right to guard it against imposition. We explain our allusion by stating what has been described to us as the only mode of completing the contract, and that also which is said to be in contemplation. We do not, we should observe, vouch for its accuracy, but we have heard that a public company is to come forward ostensibly as contractors for the new annuity project. This company has funds at disposal, but inadequate in themselves to the 1 undertaking. What they want in capital is to he supplied in credit ; they are, there fore, to 'have the power of issuing bonds on which money may be raised in the market. — These securities, in ordinary estimation, will acquire a value nearly equivalent to Go vernment paper, and perhaps, if issued with discretion, will merit that distinction ; but as it will be impossible to restrain those issues, a new source of speculation may arise as dangerous in the end to the public as the golden dreams of profit from the South Sea scheme. We trust that our apprehensions are ill-founded, but having heard this assigned as the denouement of the pro. ject, we thought it better to speak in time. If we waited tilt the business were over, we might not perhaps find it quite safe to do so. By a vessel which put into Cork, letters dated Feb. 23d have been received from Bahia. This province, it appears, like the rest of the Brazils, has been the scene of conflicts between the Euro pean and the native troops ; but which seem to have arisen in this instance out of the natural hostility between them, rather than from poli tical causes. The story in brief is as follows: The new Junta► of Bahia had nominated to the office of Commander-in-Chief an officer, colonel of one of the Brazilian regiments, when an order arrived from the Cortes of Lisbon for the ap pointment of a Portuguese officer, then at the head of the European regiment there, to the same station. As the latter appointment was deficient in certain official forms, the Junta declined ' carrying it into effect till their arrival ; but it was understood that the people of Bahia had no repugnance to the nomination of the Portuguese officer, neither did the Brazilian Colonel show any disinclination to resign his new honours, on the functions of which he had indeed scarcely entered. But from this situation of things, the military had in effect no Commander-in-chief, and a degree of ill-will arose among them which led to frequent skirmishes, terminating in bloodshed,between the native and European troops. A corps of Brazilians, occupying the castle of St. Pedro, are s'!id to have fired upon the Portu guese from thence, who, exasperated at the outrage, attacked and carried that fortress, which commands the whole town, and the possession of which they retained when the accounts came away. No statement is made of the loss of lives in the dif ferent encounters, but it must have been consider able. There were, we understand, no further ill consequences apprehended from the occupation of the Castle of St. Pedro by the Portuguese troops, as their number was very small compared with that of the Brazilians, and it would not be diffi cult, therefore, if rendered necessary, to starve them into a surrender, But the termination of the affair would probably be, as soon as the late events at Rio de Janeiro became known at Bahia, the shipment of the Portuguese troops for Eu rope, as the most eligible mode of healing all ani ; mosities.--(Morning Paper.) A Meeting of the Clergy of the Diocese of Canterbury was to be held this day, to consider of a Petition to Parliament against the Bill for admitting Roman Catholic Peers into the House of Lords. VELOCITY.— The Velocity steam-vessel ar rived at Newhaven from Aberdeen on Friday afternoon in 10.1- hours, including stoppages at the five intermediate ports.—(Edin. Courant, May 6.) FOR THE SUN. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. MR. EDlTOR—Happening within these few days to fall into conversation with a very sen sible, judicious, and experienced friend of mine, who had himself upon former occasions given his ideas on the long since agitated Corn Question to the public, in a manner that tended to throw much light on that subject and reflect honour on himself, I was somewhat surprised at finding him strongly impressed with the notions of rela tive demand and supply, as thrown out by Mini sters, as the almost sole efficient causes of the present depression of the Corn markets, and the almost universal distresses arising from them, in a greater or lesser degree to the whole commu nity, but more particularly and immediately to the landed interests. He asked me if I was in formed of the number of Inclasure Bills passed within this last half century, and upon my say ing that ,I knew they were numerous, but could not precisely ascertain the number, he replied that I had not acquainted myself with the most material facts, and could not speak with any de gree of weight on the whole subject of present Agricultural distress, without a previous ac quaintance with that material fact. Being in a mixed company subject to perpetual interrup tions, it was impossible for me to go further into the subject, or to explain, as I think could easily have been done, that the knowledge of that fact was in no degree material, or had any thing whatever to do with the present question. My friend seemed to think. that our cultivators had for years past extended their cultivation far be yond the just mark, and that now their produce having gone far beyond the natural and regular demand, prices were lowered accordingly. Now to lay the smallest rational ground for any such supposition, he must haves thought that the cultivators had from year to year hoarded up their produce, and now bringing it suddenly to sale, had glutted the markets, and necessarily occasioned that depression of prices of which we all so feelingly and sojustly complain. Whereas facts are wholly opposed to any such supposition, for it is well known that so far from any hoards in the farmers' granaries at the commencement of every harvest, there is not sufficient grain in the kingdom for one half year's supply, a fact that at once sets every idea of that kind wholly out of the question. If the markets are too abundantly supplied, it arises from the poverty of the farmer, who is compelkd to bring his grain to market and sell it at any price, or subject him self to the horrors of a prison. If, as has been stated in my 7th letter, addressed to the public through your Paper, my friend, with upwards of 2,000 freehold acres in his own occupation, and his barns and granaries filled with Corn, is com pelled by the tax-gatherer, tythe owner, the labourer necessarily employed in his cultivation, and every other just claimant on the land-holder, to bring his grain and sell it at any price, how much greater must be the pressure on hundreds and thousands of farmers who, exclusive of all those several pressing demands, have rents to pay, which necessarily must be exacted with or with out abatement, by every landlord in the king dom, or that landlord be subjected to equal dis tresses with his tenant ; for, as has been repeatedly said before, many supposed opulent landed-pro prietors from 1 to 15 or 20,0001. per annum can not command a single guinea of their own but from their tenantry. Does not the worthy re presentative of the county of Essex tell you that he believes scarcely a single tenant in his rich and productive county would be found solvent were his affairs critically inquired into, and a fair balance sheet made. Does he not likewise tell you that for the three or four last years the land lord has been living upoj the tenant's capital, and not upon the fair produce of his lands? Does not this most fully and satisfactorily account for all the glut of Mark-lane and other markets, without laying the smallest foundation for any supposition of over supply from excessive culti vation ? Can any rational being suppose that at this moment the quantity of grain in the kingdom exceeds that of former periods ? yet upon that, and that ground alone, are founded all the arguments of superabundance of supply and deficiency of demand. In the teeth however of the most glaring facts, and of every just conclusion to be drawn from them, it is plainly seen by what has been above stated as the opinion of a sen sible and judicious man, that people who have not thoroughly considered the subject in all its various bearings are carried away with that delusive opinion, and consider Ministers as jus tillable in acting upon it ; whereas it is down right fallacy, and cannot be for one instant sup ported by facts or reasonings fairly deduced from them. But the public in general as well as the powers that govern it, are tired to death with everlasting complaints from the agricultural classes of society, and wishing to rid themselves of the teasing subject, say, when the revenue, the manufactures, and the external commerce of this great country are all, as established by papers on the table of Parliament, in a most flourishing condition, and all the consumers of this great country perfectly satisfied with the low prices of every article either of necessity, and comfort, and even of luxury, why are we to be teased and worried to death because one single portion of the community suffers a tempo rary depression, which Ministers tell us will soon be done away, when supply and demand are equalized, and find their natural level ? To this the plain and decided answer is, this supposed inconsiderable portion of the suffering community consists of at least seven or eight out of ten of the whole population of the kingdom, and by far not only the more numerous but more substantial portions of the whole community are involved in this vital question. That the ideas of demand and suppiy are wholly fallacious ; that instead of things coming round and finding their just level, they will become worse and worse from day to day, till 'the whole kingdom falls into one mass of complete disorganization. Men who are led away by these fallacies should like wise be told that, wholly independent of the Corn Question, every debtor in the kingdom, as well as every landed proprietor or occupier, stands equally involved in the question ; for how is it possible for such debtor, public or pcivate, to meet the demands of hiscreditor in one currency, which he contracted under another wholly dif ferent one, and that too when by the depression of prices his debt is increased in more than a double ratio? How can a man whose estate was mortgaged for 10,0001., advanced at a time when prices were high and under a paper currency, re pay that debt under a very different one when prices are so low as to reduce his landed revenue I almost to nothing ? To render the matter, if pos sible, still plainer to every reader's comprehension, let us compare the situation of a landed man, not more than three or four years ago, with that of a funded one at the same period. Let us for in stance state the situation of two men of the same income, one possessing a net income of 10001. in land per annum, and another the same in the public securities of the country. The former does not at this moment produce 5001. whilst the latter not only possesses his clear 10001. paid half yearly, but is able to purchase with it more than twice the quantity of every article of necessity or comfort. So that that income becomes ac tually and substantially doubled. The landed man, per contra, is reduced to 5001. per annum, and for tunate must he think himself if even that can be produced from his lands at this time, which pro duced double that income within the last three or four years. The individual with his 1,0001. per annum vested in the funds has his income doubled within that period, so that in effect his 1,0001. is now equal to 2,0001., whilst that of the impoverished landed proprietor stands re duced in an equal ratio, and that too without any market for his produce. From the same income one derives 2,0001., whilst the landed proprietor finds his reduced to 5001. in an equal ratio, and is even lucky if he can obtain that. By Mr. PEEL'S Bill, and itsnecessary consequences, this inequa lity has been produced, and nothing short of its repeal will or can remedy the mischief resulting from it. So cruel an injustice was never yet sancdoned by any Government on earth, and cannot be carried into execution for any length of time without a total convulsion of the State, and all its dreadful consequences. The writer has just seen the mode and quantum of relief proposed by the Ministers for the benefit of the Agriculturists ; they may palliate the mischief, and administer temporary relief, but nothing short of effectually shutting the ports of the Kingdom, or the laying all imports under much severer regulations than have yet been proposed will prove effectual, or place the Agricultural System of the country on its just and proper foundation. Such at least is the firm opinion of one who has given all the attention, and brought all the little ability, he possesses, to a consideration of the question. His opi nions, he thinks, must have some weight with all those who maturely reflect on it with minds divested of all prejudices, and simply open to truth, however plainly and inelegantly cloathed, and presented to them through the medium of ever so humble an individual. These are the decided opinions of the writer, and to what he has already submitted to the public, through your valuable Paper, he has only to add his sincere wishes for the general well-doing of the country, and a complete extrication from all its numerous and formidable difficulties. If pro perly and fairly met, they may yet be surmount ed, and every thing placed upon that firm basis which alone can ensure a lasting state of prospe rity to the still greatest and most powerful coun ry on earth. May 4, 1822. J. S. SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.—The Annual Mee ing of this Society was held yesterday morning at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, J. BUTTERWOKTII, Esq. M. P., in the Chair. The company assembled to breakfast be tween five and six o'clock in the morning, and the Chair was taken , at half-past six. About one thousand persons were present. The total of Sunday Scholars, reported in London and its vici nity, was 5,549 children and 478 adults, taught by 4870 gratuitous teachers, being an increase of 3687 scholars in the past year. Several new Sunday School Unions had been formed during the last year. In three counties in Wales, there was a total of Sunday Scholars, including children and adults, amounting to one-fifth of the popula tion. The Report exhibited a total of upwards of 600,000 Sunday Scholars in Great Britain and Ireland, in addition to which there were many places from which no returns had been communi cated. The Report met with great applause, and the Rev. Messrs. Winter, Scott, and several other Gentlemen, addressed the Meeting in eloquent speeches, when the Meeting broke up, and a liberal subscription was made at the doors. MINES.—A. strata of coal has been/ found on Tidenham Chase, near the Forest of Dean, in the county of Gloucestershire, which is likely to afford an abundant supply to that district.—A lead mine has been also discovered on Gallows Ilill, about a quarter of a mile south-we'st of Chepstow.— The miners are now working in the coal and lead works. It is calculated that the silver lead mines now at work in Cornwall, and others about to commence, will in a few years raise sufficient silver for the use of the kingdom. At Sir Chris topher Hawkins's mine in that county, a plate of silver has been extracted which weighed nearly 4001bs. This mine produces two and sometimes , three such pieces a month. On Thursday morning a boy, with a horse and cart, while emptying rubbish into a quarry filled with water, in Mr. ALLAN'S grounds, head of Leith Walk, went too near the edge of the pre cipice, when the horse and cart fell into the water, and the horse would inevitably have been drowned, had not two Irish labourers been near the spot when the accident happened. They immediately pulled off their clothes, swam in, and succeeded in fastening a rope round the lhorse's head, which kept it above water, while they cut the fastenings which held him to the cart, and then brought him safe on shore, in presence of a number of spectators. Several Gentlemen present subscribed a small sum to re ward the labourers for their praiseworthy exer tioas.—(Edinburgh Courant, May 6.) THE ARMY. The head-quarters of the 9th Lancers removed yesterday, at a short notice, from Canterbury for Brighton, to relieve the 10th Huzzars. Sunday, the Stafford Troop of Yeomanry marched to Wolverhampton, to relieve the Ted desley Troop, who have been on duty there the last week. Two troops of the 3d Regiment of Dragoon Guards are ordered from Scotland to Newcastle upon-Tyne, where they are expected to arrive about the 9.oth inst. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 8. EARL OF SIIAFTESBURY AND OTHERS V. RUSSELL. The plaintiffs in this case are trustees under the will of the late Duke of Marlborough, and the defendant is a collector of the King's taxes. The Duke of Marlborough owed arrears of window, house-servants, and other taxes, to the amount of 1,8001. for which the defendant distrained the furniture, pic tures, &c. of Blenheim House, the residence of the Duke, and levied upon them the arrears due. The arrears of window, and house taxes, amounted to 7001- which was all (as the plaintiffs contended) the defendant could levy upon the goods distrained, the legal estate of which was in the plaintiffs, although the Duke had the use of them. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on the other side, submitted, that as the present Duke was the apparent owner of the articles distrained, the defendant was justified in distraining them. Verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages 1,1201. subject to the opinion of the Court, upon the point disputed. ROUGE TT NOIRE.—BERARD V. POPE. The plaintiff brought his action upon the Statute of the etb of Anne, to recover back a sum of money which he lost in play to the defendant, at the games of Un, Trois, Cinque and Rouge et Noir. Henry Compton, a Clerk in the Stage-coach Office, Somer set House, said he knew , the defendant, who kept a house ? . 77, Jermyn-street, St. James's. He went there on the 7th Nov. last, and saw the plaintiff playing the game of Un, Trois, Cinque. Pope, who was master of the house, was present. Lie saw him take money, acting as the master. The plaintiff mt down his money, and the witness saw him lose between Ow and 701. He said to the plaintiff, " I think you have lost be" tween 60L and 70L" After that the plaintiff began to play . at Rouge et Noir. Pope, he believed, was at the table dealing the cards. The plaintiff lost, on that occasion, 301. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE sai 4 ,_it was impossible the la w could ever be enforced, except they admitted the testimony of persons who were present at play, and who for some reason or other, may think proper to appear as witnesses. The Juel ought to be sure the money was paid to the defendant or bI servants. If the defendant, being master of the house, Plae°l servants to receive money won, it was the same as money into his own hands. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 901. THE KING V. THE INHABITANTS OF ST. itYsTILL. This was a rule calling on Thomas Carlyon, Esq. to chew cause why an order of the Cornwall Sessions, quashing en 35 :; sessment upon him for the relief of the poor of the parish . St. Austell, in respect of certain mines alleged to be in bl° occupation in that parish, should not be quashed. The glue" for the opinion of the Court was whether Mr. Carlyo n could be considered as an occupier of the mines in q_uesril within the intent and meaning of the 43d Elizabeth, at therefore rateable to the poor ? Mr. Carlyon being the MO " of the sod :in question in fee, had demised the surface , re ' serving to himself the minerals, which he had granted , Mr. Joshua Rowe, and other mining adventuress, rends:L 1 n d ! to him one-eighth share of the produce by way of r.nt. 1 1, question was whether this reservation of a share in the r ° nerals produced constituted him an occupier, and therefore r O 5 able ? The rate in question was made in respect of 40001- upwards, the annual income derived by Mr. Carlyon under fo" grant to Nlr. Rowe. Mr. WILDE argued the case for Mr. Carlyon with consider' able ability. Mr. ADAM, contra, was stopped by The COURT, who were clearly of opinion that this esee„,.../ 711% not distinguishable from Rowles v. Gell, and Ren v. the 11"1":i tist Mill Company, 1 Maule, and Selw. 612, and decided in Mr. Carlyon was liable to be rated as an occupier, with in I "' statute, and therefore made the Rule ablsolute. somoomumem.........mssins FROM TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE" DIVIDENDS.
