THE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS FROM TUC DAILY 'MORNING PAPERS, October 19, 18'22. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We received last night, by a particular chan nel, the Pitote of the preceding evening (Thurs. day.)—The Spaunish insurrection seems now to be fast hastening to its close. The Journal de Toulouse says the Royalists of Cataloi►ia are in a cruel position. Mina was advancing on Urgel, while Zarco del Valle were marching on the Conque de Trernp, and Milans on Olot, and a speedy battle, decisive of the - fate of the De fenders of the Faith, was inevitable.—An account is given of a remarkable correspondence between the Baron D'Eroles and Don Ramon Gayan, Governor of Cardona. The Baron, by way of inducing him to surrender the fortress, and to accept his terms, informs him, that in the coarse of the month seventy-five thousand French would enter Spain at three different points., The answer of Don Ramon was such as became a good citizen and brave soldier. lie tells. him, " that if European fanaticism and tyranny should form a conspiracy against them, they would be able to withstand it as they did in the war of independence ;" and he reproaches him with disgracing himself by joining men who make religion a cover for the perpetration of crime, and of whom the most have suffered pu nishment for their misdeeds both before and since the Revolution. The evidence of a design to invade Spain, to co-operate with the Spanish In surgents, is but too'clear ; and if Lord London-. derry had lived the attempt would no doubt have been made. - The immense preparations, how ever, have been thrown away ; the Defenders of the Faith must.now be left to Their fate ; and bitter reproaches they will no doubt vent against the French Government and the Moly Allies who have deserted them, and against Mr. Canning.— The account of a brilliant advantage gained by General Espinosa against the Army of the Faith on the 4th is confirmed. [BRITISH PRESS 3 Au Official Report of the military state of Spain is given in another part of our Paper.— (See THE SUN of yesterday.)—To an ordinary reader it appears a simple, honest, and ingenious exposition of the danger and difficulties of the country, without any effort to disguise or under rate them.. This is the true way to obtain public confidence, and excite extraordinary exertions to meet the crisis. A Ministerial Print of last even ing is, however, of a contrary opinion. It affects to consider it an admission of " national cala mity, of inevitable national ruin." This view of the subject is just what Sc,e should• expect from the organ of the Ministers, who claimed merit for assuring the agriculturists that they were rich when they were actually starving; NI ho pro claimed that the distress of the country was only an " ignorant impatience" of taxation. The Government of Spain would betray the interests of 'the country if they undertrated its wants, its difficulties, and its danger. It is only by placing the actual danger fully and honestly before the country they can expect to produce competent exertions to meet it. [MORNING POsT.] The accounts received yesterday from Spa' by the way of Bayonne are of a satisfactory na ture; Notwithstanding the financial difficulties in which that country is involved, and the compa ratively small numbers of the regular army, the military operations of the Constitutionalists are conducted with a degree of skill, energy, and ensemble, which does honour to the genius of Mina, and has already produced partial ad vantages which seem to be the harbingers of more important and decisive successes. The Royalists, who had spread their Gueril over a vast expanse of country, in order to, create an impression that they were in possession of several Provinces, althongh, with the exception of two or three inconsider able forts and towns, they really possessed no thing more than the ground on which they trod or encamped, are now obliged to recal their parties and concentrate their forces. They lose thus at once the appearance Of power which they derived from the extent of their operations, and when collected on one single point, will ex pose both to foes and friends their exact numbers and Teal weakness. This exposure must in itself prove a calamity to the cause ; for whilst it will raise the spirits and increase the exertions of their antagonists, it will proportionably depress the hopes and courage of their partisans, not only in the Peninsula, but in the Cabinets who took their part, and perhaps even in the Congress of Sovereigns. But it is time that the efforts made to overthrow the Constitutional System in Spain —a system -established in 1812 by the aid and vviththe sanction of Great Brittain—should cease. [NEW TIMES.] We yesterday animadverted on the lamentable state of the Spanish revenues, as displayed in' the Report of Eguia, the Republican Finance Mi nister : this day we have to examine the equally appalling statement of Lopez Banos, the Minister at War. The substance of that statement is as follows :—The Republican army " is notut pre sent much above 52,009 strong." 6 C All the corps of active militia are embodied, but this re source is: far from being sufficient." " The clothing, mounting,; and equipment of. the army and militia are in, a bad state, and are every day becOming worse." " The materiel bf the Artillery and Engineers is not. in a more- satis factory condition,' The 'magazines were all 44 destroyed in theswar .of. 1808," ands" few of them have: i ben re-established." " Two principal fortreSies,[l.,a Seo de Urgel and Mequinenza, are still in_the hands" of the• Royalists, and : thil " have. fortified several other positions." " Their example- must lie followed" by"the Republicans ; 'hot," the want of money and the increase of expences have hitherto prevented the military administration from making any-ptogreSs in the system of order and economy." .Great.fears are entertained by the Republicans "as to the hostile " views" of the Allied Sovereigns ; and they are particularly alarmed at the large Army of Obser vation maintained on the frontier by France, while in Portugal (from which they might other wise hope for support) " the military establish ment is reduced to its mimimum." [TUE TIMES.] A. short but useful and instructive Report has been printed from the Committee ap pointed for simplifying the Public Accounts. As it treats of matters mostly confined to arithmetical detail, there is little room for ge neral or varied observation. It cannot be for gotten, that differences of no small amount, and of evil and alarming omen, were detected during the last Session of Parliament, between the an nual finance accounts, and the balance sheet, both laid before the House of Commons by the same Board of Treasury. The Committee assure us, that they have received "satisfactory explana tions," 'both with regard to the above men tioned differences, and also to some 44 errors," discoverable on an axamination of the accounts. Now, it is well that errors should be ex plained ; but it is better, undoubtedly, that the accounts were so constructed, as to make the errors manifest to those employed in arrang ing them ; and not to provoke inquiry, or to call for explanation. The finance accounts of this country have been so intricate and perplexed, that few among the most experienced men of business could extract their real meaning, or afford to the doubts of any common inquirer, an explicit answer, or satisfactory solution. This was mischievous in more ways than one. It not only disqualified the simple portion of the Country Gentlemen in Parliament, and of their constituents out of doors, from seeing clearly to what extent the Minister was to be believed, and his financial measures supported ; but it enabled that Minister to put a construction on the figures directly opposite to that which others supposed them to bear ; and it furnished a pretext to the more cunning of his adherents, whom he did not in fact deceive, for professing to place their trust in him, and for voting, as if bona fide, upon the Finance Minister's reading of his own riddle. [MORNING HERALD.] An Archbishop, figuring prOprio nomine in the Journals as an amateur essayist on the politics of the day, would have rather an odd appearance amongst us. It is, however, no novelty in Paris. The Abbe de Pradt frequently puts forth a poli tical homily in the Journal called the Constitu tionnel ; and, what is still more curious, in his last contribution has run into a political libel., We read this article when it appeared without thinking it deserving of particular notice, and return to it only to give a specimen of what is deemed sufficient to set in motion the machinery of the French Police to arrest the circulation of a newspaper. The Congress is the theme of the Archbishop—or rather of the Ex- Archbishop of Malines. The distinction will render his politics less startling than they might otherwise appear. " Every - . body," says he, " makes his Congress to his own fancy—why should not I have mine 7 ." We see no objection. Why should not M. de Pradt have the same right, in this busy time, to occupy himself with a Con gress, which, Diogenes had to gird up his Ic4lts and roll his tub at Corinth, !dist the Corinthians were busy in rolling stones to resist King Phillip, by whom they were besieged. The French Police, however, thought differently upon the matter. Indeed we strongly suspect that if Diogenes were to re-appear, and choose the self-called modern Athens for the theatre of his sayings and sarcasms, he ,would soon be provided with a more sheltered and solid abode than his tub. The Abbe, who is fond of di vision and method, begins with saying " The Congress of Verona has two objects ; the first, known, and of necessity, the second, unknown and coujectural. The first is the purely Italian question, resulting from the stipulations of the Congress of Layback, which provided that, in 1822, the Sovereigns should meet again to know what was further to be done with Italy. The second relates to the supposed intentions of the Congress respecting the general affairs of Europe —" a vast and free field for speculation," conti nues the Abbe, who, however, now finds it not quite so free as he supposed. The Abbe dis poses as follows of the " Italian question," in a manner certainly which cannot be very palat ' able to the Congress. " The question," he says, " is not the shorter or longer stay of the Austrians, ' but their being there at all. The question is the simplest in the world. Italy wishes to be her self mistress in her own family ; she feels regret and shame, at having become little after - having been great. Has the Congress any means of ; making her no longer feel the grief and shame of having missed her existence—of having in poll tics to lament her Paradise lost,'" &c. Mrs. GAIUUCK'S private box, at Dury-lane, in consequence of that venerable Lady's death, has been closed for the present. The execution of felons condemned to death in the 14th and 15th centuries, and probably much earlier, was, in many parts of England by drowning. In the year 1,315, complaint was made against the prior of Christ Church, Sand wich, for that " he had diverted the course of a certain stream called the Gestlyng, so that felons could not be executed for want of water." An old man, who had resided for upwards of 40 years in Vinegar-Gardens, Clerkenwell, al ways living in a state of• misanthropy, had been missing since Monday last, and the neighbours were deterred from entering the house by the violent barking of a large Newfoundland dog, which he kept constantly on the premises. On Thursday morning means were taken to secure the dog, and then they broke open the house, where they found the old roan lying upon the bed, dead, and completely stiff. From the at titude-in which he was found, it is supposed that he was sitting ,on the foot of the bed, and fell backwards. On the premises were found a great number of sovereigns, and an immense quantity of crown pieces. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CAUTION TO PAWN-BROKERS. BOW-STREET. —Yesterday William Cropley, a ch il d ten years of age, was brought before the Sitting Magistrates, G. R. MINSHULL and THOMAS HALLS, Esq. charged with stealing a coat, the property of his father, William Cropley, the elder. It was stated by the father and mother, that the prisoner, young as he was, had been in the habit of plundering them almost daily for the last two years, and punishment or kind treatment was equally inefficacious in curing him of his invin cible attachment to pilfering. Some months ago he was brought to this Office and sent to solitary confinement in Tothill-fields Bridew . :ll, but he was no sooner released than he commenced his old practices. His fatheris a very industrious coal-porter, and goes to work about five o'clock in the morning. Yesterday morning he went out at his usual hour, and locked the prisoner in his room : but he had not been gone many minutes, when the young delinquent broke the lock of the door, and ran out of the house with his father's coat. When the coat was missed some hours after, a search was made for the prisoner, and he was found playing with a gang of idle boys in Hungerford market. Six or seven shillings were found in his pocket, which he said had been advanced to him upon his father's coat at the shop of Mr. Harris, a pawnbroker in the Strand. An inquiry was made at the pawnbroker's, and the fact was readily admitted. Mr. Mixsiiimr. said, the taking a pledge for such a child was shameful conduct on the part of the pawnbroker, and im mediately sent an officer to the shop with orders to bring before him the person who took the coat. The officer returned in a few minutes with a spruce young fellow, who brought the coat with him, and who admitted that he advanced money upon it to the prisoner. His name he said was Joseph Burgess, and lie was shopman to Mr. Harris. Mrs. Cropley was questioned by the Magistrates, and she stated, that the prisoner hail several times stolen things, and pledged them at Harris's with Burgess, and she had in conse quence warned the latter that the boy was given to pilfering, and desired that he would never take any pledge from him again. About four months ago he stole a shawl, and pledged it with Burgess, and then she gave him the same warning, and he knew that the boy had been in prison for theft. She had redeemed several articles thus pledged. Burgess seemed to treat the charge with the most sovereign contempt, and when told by Mr. MiNsilur.r. that he regarded him as a receiver of stolen goods, and should deal with him ac cordingly, he, with a smirking countenance, assured his Wor ship it was all false—mere vile perjury; Mrs. Cropley had been in the constant habit, for these four years past, of sending' the prisoner with articles to pledge. He admitted that he knew of the boy having been in prison, but said it was for running away with money advanced upon things sent with him by his mother, and not for stealing the things. Mr. MiNsfrum.—Mrs. Cropley, you are upon your oath, and for God's sake speak nothing but the truth. Did you ever send the prisoner to pledge articles with this man ? Mrs. Cropley—Upon my oath I never did. I repeatedly warned him not to take any thing from the boy. Burgess said she would yet have the worst of this, for she should be indicted for perjury. Mr. Mrsrsrium. said he would not suffer a witness to be in timidated, and desired Burgess to hold his tongue. Burgess insinuated that Mrs. Cropley was given to drinking and bad company, but this was denied by her landlord, who said she was a sober, industrious woman. Mr. MistsituLL said, he had heard nothing which could in duce him to alter the opinion he had first formed upon the case, and should commit the;:prisoner for theft, and Burgess must find bail for his appearance at the Sessions, to answer to an in dictment for receiving the coat knowing it to have been stolen. Burgess's master, Mr. Harris, made his appearance in the course of the examination, and protested against the course about to be adopted by the Magistrates ; observing, that by the Pawnbrokers' Act they were liable to penalties for taking pledges from persons under a certain age ; but this was the first time he bad ever heard of a Magistrate committing a pawn broker as a receiver of stolen goods. The Magistrates said, it might be so ; but they were deter mined upon that course in the present instance. The boy was fully committed for trial, and Burgess was held to bail, himself in 401. and two sureties in 201. each, to appear at the Sessions. The Isitnesses were bound over to prefer both bills of in dictinent. BENEFIT SOCIETIES. GuILDUALL.—The stewards of a Benefit Society, held at the Coach-makers' Arms, Foster-lane, and called " The Laudable Society of Master Tradesmen," attended qt this of fice yesterday, before the Aldermen Armor and WAITIIMA-N, to shew cause why they had discontinued the payment of the pension of 10s. ed. a week to a superannuated member, named John Fisher. Mr. Fisher, it seems, has been a very respectable Tradesman, and still carries on a small business as a cutler, in Ratcliffe highway. He is now totally blind, and had in consequence been compelled to declare on the society's chest. He had re ceived, according to the articles, the full allowance of 30s. per week for the first six months ; half that amount for the next six months; and subsequently became what is termed a pen sioner upon the box, at half a guinea per week, which, after having been paid to him for twelve months, was discontinued from the 21th of August Last. There was no' suspicion of fraud or impropriety of conduct on the part of Mr. Fisher ; on the'contrary, the Stewards spoke of him as highly respectable, and much respected by every member of the society. But he was still carrying on business upon his own account ; and the only difference between them was, whether he was, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, legally entitled to claim to be a pensioner. By. the 16th article of the society, when a member became superannuated he was entitled to a pension of half a guinea a week, and permitted to do any small matters on his own ac count, " provided his earnings do not exceed his weekly pen sion." It was admitted that 'nr. Fisher was incapacitated from earning any thing by his personal labour, and the moot-point was, did the profits he was supposed to receive from his trade, come within the meaning of the term " earnings ?" Mr. Fisher's family consisted of his wife, a son, and a daughter. The son was no partner, but the whole of the busi ness was managed by him ; , and upon the proceeds of it the whole 'family were supported. Mr. Alderman ANSLEY seemed to think that the receipt of the profits of the trade, although not the produce of Mr. Fisher's personal labour, must be considered as his earnings, according to the equitable constniction of the article; and in stanced the case of a business to a large extent carried on by a widow, of a nature probably where her personal labour could not be exerted. Would a person, under such circumstances, be legally permitted, if ill, to declare upon the box, and be come a pensioner ? - Mr. Alderman WAITJIMAN viewed the question in a differ ent light. A widow, if she had her eye-sight, could at least superintend her own business, which might be considered a species of personal labour. But here the complainant was wholly incapacitated ; and it was in evidence, that the business was so small that the profits of it would not maintain the family, if carried on, with the expense of servants. If the son, there fore, by. his personal exertions supported his father, it was too bard to say that he should not receive that support, without for feiting his claim as a pensioner, when it was allowed on both sides that the father was himself incapable of earning any thing by his persbnal exertions. Supposing some friend were to leave him an annuity of more than half a guinea a week, could that be considered his earnings, stud made the reason for depriving him of his pension ? What the decision of the Magistrates upon this moot-point might have been (for neither Mr. Payne, the Magistrate's clerk, nor Mr. Hayward, who attended as Solicitor for the complainant, Ventured to express any very decided opinion on the strict legal interpretation of the word " earnings,") is left to the curious in such matters to surmise. An ingenious special pleader would have contended that the proviso in the article as to the extent of the weekly earnings, bad reference only to the permission granted of doing small matters on the pensioner's own account, and not to the pension,. and that, by exceeding the stated-amount, he forfeited, . not the pension, but the permis sion to do such small matters ; and that there was no clause ex pressly forbidding a member from working at his business, when reduced to be a pensioner, but only while he was receiv ing from the box either the full or the half allowance. The case, however, was at length decided:upon the facts only; for, on a more particular examination, 111 r, Fisher declared, that after the payment of the necessary expenees of the trade, the average profits. 'did not .exceed half a guinea a . weel; and in this he was borne out by a person who is in the habit of leading him about, who stated that they frequently did not take a shil ling in the shop for da's together. The Stewards perceiving the 'decision about to go against them, changed their ground; and started another objection. Mr. Fisher, they said, and it was allowed, with the exception of his blindness, was otherwise in good health. They Would undertake to find him an employment 'by which he Might earn 15s. a week ; one which was healthy, and which lie was fully capable of performing, and contended, that while thus able to maintain himself, he could not legally claim to be continued a pensioner. The Magistrates inquired the. nature of the employment, which was stated to be turning a wheel. The stewards, how ever; were - unable to produce any clause in their articles to for tify die position they had taken ; and the Magistrates thinking it rather too hard for a respectable tradesmen to be compelled to the drudgery of turning a wheel, the objection was over-ruled, and the ultimate decision given in favour of the complainant, upon the ground that his earnings had not exceeded the amount of his weekly pension. CROSBY-HOUSE, BISHOPSGATE STREET. —" Presently repair to ChosßY-HousE, Where, after I have solemnly inter'd At Chertsey monastery, this injur'd King, —I will with all convenient duty see you." Rich. 111. Few places in the metropolis more claim the notice of the antiquary and historia❑ than Crosby-House. Besides its mention by Shaks peare, as one of the remarkable scenes in the drama we have quoted, it possesses, at a build ing, the highest interest, being at this moment. notwithstanding all the mutilations it has suffer ed, one of the finest specimens of Gothic archi tectufe, as well as examples of domestic resi dence, of its kind, any where to be met with. Stowe's account of this house and its founder is short, but has been enlarged on by his com mentators. He tells us, "It was built by Sir John Crosby, grocer and woolman, in the time of King Edward the Fourth, in place of certain tenements demised to him by Alice Ashfield, Prioress, and the convent of St. Helen, for ninety nine years, viz. from 1466 to 1565, and was finished in 1471, being at that time esteemed the highest in London. Sir John died in 1475, so short a space," he adds, " enjoyed he that large and sumptuous building." Strype, and other writers, add to the above • information, that besides being the residence, after Crosby's decease, of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, afterwards Richard 111. this splen did mansion was inhabited by a number of dis- tinguished persons ; and particularly that two Lord Mayors of London, Sir John Spencer and Sir James Longhorn, kept their Mayoralty here. In the reign of James I. and Charles I. Fo reign Ambassadors were occasionally lodged at Crosby House ; and the Parliament, during the civil wars (as it did by several other great man sions in London) converted it into a prison for loyalists. The celebrated Sir Kenelm Digby, was one of those, and is here said to have com posed some of his pieces. The greater part of it was, soon after the Restoration, pulled down to erect the present Crosby-square, and the great hall (one of the finest parts still remaining) was, about the middle of the, last century, occupied as a Dissenting Meeting-house. This latter, to gether with some other of the premises, has for several years been held on lease by Messrs. Holmes and Hall, packers ; the rest is differently ap propriated, as we shall presently describe, in giv ing a further account of the building itself. The will of Sir John Crosby acquaints us with several curious particulars of this House, as well as some of himself, which are rendered, by re moteness of time, and the little known of either, particularly interesting. From that and other authorities we learn that this eminent citizen stood first among the great commercial men of his day, both for the extensiveness of his deal ings and his wealth. Stowe mentions a vulgar tradition respecting him current in his time, " that he was named Cros-bi of being found by a cross," which he treats as a fable ; and from different documents it appears that he was re spectably descended, his ancestor, Johan de Crosseby, or Crosby, having been one of the King's Clerks in Chancery, in the reign of Ed ward 11., and another of them mentioned in the reign of Henry IV. Successful in trade, he early rose to civic and other honours. lie was elected an Alderman of London, and subsequently one of the City Representatives in Parliament; served the office of Sheriff of London, in conjunction with John Ward (Mayor i❑ 1484), and was afterwards promoted to the important post of Mayor of the Staple at Calais. In 1470, he attained the honour of Knight hood, which was conferred on himself, and eleven others, in the field, by King Edward IV., for their fidelity in resisting the attempts of the Bastard Falconbridge to surprise the city. He had previously served the office of Warden of the Grocers' Company, of which he was a member, and to whom he left the direction of some noble charities ; and it is probable filled at different times many other respectable situations. His great wealth is apparent from the number and amount of the legacies he left, and other pro perty ; among which are the following :-661. to his parish-church of St. Helen's, Bishopsgate street, in lieu of his tithes-forgotten ; 500 marks towards the repair of the same church, and 400 marks more to find a priest there to say mass for his soul ; 401. to the prioress and convent of St. Helen, of whom he held the lease of his house in Bishopsgate-street ; 100 marks to celebrate his anniversary obit ; 401. to the parish-church of Hanewot th, Middlesex (of which, and the manor, he was owner) ; 1001. towards the repair of Bis hopsgate ; 1001. towards building the tower on London Bridge, called " Hulpes ;" and in vari ous bequests to prisons, convents, &c. upwards of 1001. more ; besides private gifts to relations, friends, and servants, to the amount of 3301. and 240 marks. In all upwards of 2,0001; a great sum for that age ! To his widow, in lieu of her dower or thirds, 2,0001. in money, and all her clothes and jewels ; his own clothes, armour, and jewels ; all his household (furniture), whole as it was, in the mansion of St. Helen's ; all his plate of gold, and of silver gilt, and of parcel gilt, and of silver white ; all his ware and merchandize in the same house at St.:Helen's, (his merchandize in other places excepted) ; all the remainder of the term and estate in the mansion at St. Helen's, &c. His manor of Hatieworth, and estates in Feltham, Middlesex, and other places, he leaves to the child of whom he supposes his wife to be then enciente, or, in failure of issue, to be otherwise disposed of. The servants, &c. at Bishopsgate street, to whom he leaves legacies, amount to twelve, exclusively of John, his man-cook, and John Bee, his kitchen-boy. The meaner assis tants in his business (of which there were pro bably a considerable number), are not named. He was twice married. By his first wife, Annys, he had several children, who are men in his will as being dead,, and buried with her in St. Helen's church. His then only surviving child is stated to be a natural daughter, of the name of Johanne Crosby, or Talbott; his second wife, (who survived him) was Ann Ched‘worth; by the tenor of his will he supposes her preg nant, bat the issue, if any, probably died young, and the family seems to ['aye become immediate- ly extinct, and the house, together Wit h b a te manor of Haneworth and other estates, t° ";f, terwards, been vestebutd in in what way we the Crown with are not told• in a few yea rs " s i r b John lies himself buried in St. Helen's clinrcPt' by the side of his first wife, With au eleb°gaot monument to his memory, on which are their effigies in marble, the size of life.
