DEMISE OF SIR THOMAS STEPNEY.-,--We re-
gret to announce the sudden death of Sir THostas STEPNEY,
at his house in Henrietta-street, Cavendish-square, on Sunday
last. This polished Gentleman, of the old school, was seen, in
his usual attire, perambulating St. James's-street, from club,
house to club-house (his daily practice), so recently as the pre-
ceding day. His dress had been the same for half 4 cent-gry%
namely, a blue coat, with a broad back and long waist, of
" the Monnioutli-street cut," that is, much too large for his
body, and he commonly wore a remarkably short spencer ;
nankeen was his constant wear in small clothes : and his blue
broad striped silk=stockings, produced a remarkable contrast:—
added to these, was a' hat not deeper in the crown than an inch
and a half, but with a rim of greater proportion, and a black
ribbon tied round it. Sir TitoszAs, in his 70th year, on the
coldest day of winter, was clad the same as in the dog days:
he was a great card player, but' not a gambler; and was an
amiable character and accomplished Gentleman. His piquet
parties on Wednesday from February to July, were regularly
attended by some of the most distinguished persons in •hig.l.l

Lord EASTNOa has been •so seriously indis-
posed, as to excite the utmost alarm amongst his
noble relatives and friends. We learn, however,
that his Lordship is now pronounced out of dan-
ger, and that he is gradually recovering his health.
A handsome new church, at the estimated ex•
pence of 24,0001. of which sum 18,0001. has al-
ready been subscribed, is about to he erected at
Margate, upon the high ground on a level with
the fort. ~ The spot is already marked out.
We are authorised to state that Mr. BONN has
commenced an action against the proprietors of a
London Journal for a libel on the character .of
Mrs. Bunn.--(Birmingham Gazette.)
A lady named Crowland, of Petersburgh, 70
years of age, was vaccinated a few days ago,
feeling alarm at the prevalence of &rnall-pox in
that neighbourhood.

BRUTAL OUTILAGE.-Last week, five fellows
entered the house of Mr. Lane, the sign of the
Pheasant, on the G locester-road,and after calling
for some refreshment, two of them commenced
a most brutal and ferocious attack, with sticks,
on the landlord, his wife, and servant girl,
whom they beat in Such. an inhuman manner,
that the landlady his been ever since confined to
her bed, in a most dangerous, state, from the
effects of the blows she received. Mr. Lane is
also much bruised, as well as the servant girl.
'We understand that the perpetrators have been
apprehended, and are to be examined this day.
We learn the caused assigned' for this villainoqs
attack is, that Mr. Lane had lately discharged
them from his employment for improper conduct,

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
Eztracts from the Morning Papers, Sept. 7, 1825.

[THE TI)IES.I
The pressure of more temporary subjects has,
for some weeks past, prevented us from turning to
a public document of the highest interest,—name-
ly, the fourth and last volume of Evidence pre-
Wilted by the Committee on the State of Ire-
land ; which appears to us superior, if any thing,
in fullness and importance, to all of those which
preceded it. The opinions of Ecclesiastics, Pro-
testant and Catholic, having occupied a share
hich may be called a large one, of the time of
tNe Committee, and of the printed reports, we
are more desirous of laying before our readers,
as occasion may offer, and during a period of lei-
sure and tranquillity, statements proceeding from
resident gentlemen, less open to the suspicion of
being warped or influenced by controversial heat
into distempered views of a question which is really
political, not religious, than clergymen of either
church may be, who have already put themselves
conspicuously forward as champions of a particu-
}ar policy or doctrine. The relations of magistrate
and party, and of landlord and tenant, are
the most prominent in which the two extremes
of the Irish community can be said to stand to-
wards each other. They are the precise relations
also, which the monied men of this country must
be presumed to look at with the deepest concern
when they make Ireland the subject of their
meditations ; since, if they seek employment,for
their capital, and an extension of their commerce,
in that island, there can be no questions more
desirable to ascertain than, first, how justice is
administered, or, in other words, how a man's
rights are secured, and his property protected ;
and, secondly, how property in general is dis-
tributed and conducted, which goes so far to
assist in settling the nature of the subsistence
allotted to the poor, and the rate of wages
for which an English capitalist may expect to
have the use of their labour. The Committee
have not attempted so to manage their examin-
tion of witnesses as to furnish the evidence
on any given branch of inquiry in a conse-
cutive and unbroken form, nor, perhaps, would
so strict an arrangement have been on the whole
satisfactory. Much is gained by letting men
talk on freely, and follow the current of their
own habitual reflections, which afford a greater
variety of lights, and help our judgment by a
greater multitude of bearings and associations,
than we should have a chance of obtaining from
dry responses to the formal and exclusive interro-
gatories. In the excursive and somewhat irre-
gular shape, therefore, which the printed testi-
mony has assumed, and which may be consider-
ed as presenting the public with a series rather
of essays on the state of Ireland, generally,
than of answers to restricted points, we begin
with the information communicated by Robert de
la Cour, Esq., a resident gentleman and magis-
trate of the county of Cork, who touches on
many essential circumstances in the condition of
the lower classes of his countrymen, embracing
both the topics which we have alluded to, and
adding some very striking and just remarks upon
the subject of Catholic emancipation.

[NEW TIMES.]
French Papers to Monday morning were re-
ceived last night. They contain accounts from
Greece, exactly similar to what has been received
from that country any time the last three months.
The Greeks say they are getting-daily advantages
over the Turks ; the Turks attack them in their
fortifications and are repulsed, and the Greeks
sally out and seize their baggage. Thus matters
seem to be going on at Missolonghi, and thus
they may continue to go on for Years. Greece is
in this respect exactly like Spain : the Spaniards
and the Greeks are individually brave and
patriotic, but they have not the bravery of
armies, or the patriotism which inspires consistent
political action. Messrs. Lafitte and Baring are
mentioned as likely to take the Haytian Loan of
seven millions sterling. When we carry back
our recollection for half a century, and imagine
any individual talking of a Paris and London
banker lending seven millions of money to a Ne-
gro Republic, we must be struck with the
changes that time brings about ! There are some
vague accounts of an insurrection in the island
Of 'Cuba, which it is said was soon put down ;
but much blood appears to have been spilt on
the'ocCasion. The celebrated Dr. Francia, who
hail made himself a sort of Sovereign of Pa-
ragnay; who is said to have declared him-
self against Bolivar, and to have taken into
his service the remains of the Royal Army of
Perth professing to support the authority of King
Ferdinand over that part of South America.
Others accuse Francia of having, by his intrigues,
promoted the war at present raging between the
Bretilians and Montevideans. This is a lamentable
-view of the state of things in South America, and
seems but too much to confirm the sentiments of
Mr. Mathison,. recent and impartial traveller in
that part of the' world. " A very long interval
of time," says he, " must necessarily elapse be-
'fore 'the anticipated blessings of independence
can be enjoyed to any great extent. Crimes and
plunders, alternate periods of anarchy and ty-
rannnate still likely to prevail for years to come :
!atleast there is at present no visible check to the
perpetuation of such miseries in the moral and
intdiectuil condition of the people ; for talent,
'influence, consistent principles, and superior re-
spectability, are gone with the Spaniards. With
'the. birth and slow education of new generations,
the necessary mass of knowledge, skill, talent,
and, it is to he hoped, of virtue also, may spring
up,'to assist and direct the labours of the future
- legislator ; but taking the most favourable view
of the actual state of things, it must be confess-
ed,-that notwithstanding the sanguine expecte-
tiOns' entertained by modern speculators, the
,prospect which South America displays is far
less brilliant and cheering than the friend of
humanity would desire."

[BRITISH Plt uss.]
We have seen several letters from Greece of a
late date, which speak in the -warmest terms of

the devotion and docility of the people, but, at'
the same time, the writers lament the want of
union that still exists amongst the military leaders.
One letter states, that Miaulis is a noble excep-
tion to the discontented chiefs. He is ready to
join in any enterprise, and with any person, in
order to serve his country. The following passage
will show his patriotic zeal ;--it is from a letter
from a young Englishman now serving in the Greek
navy. He says, " I have never met with so fine an
old man as Miaulis ; his courage, activity, good-
humour, and, above all, his patriotism, are beyond
all praise. He sits on the deck of his vessel night
and day with his spy-glass in his hand. He has
a curious trick of tearing the soft leather of his
shoes. During the pursuit of the Turkish fleet,
which was a v.!ry perplexing operation to him,
his shoes were torn to ribands." In a letter from
a gentleman, just arrived in Ireland, from Greece,
it is stated, that Lord Cochrane's services would
be peculiarly valuable to the Greeks, but the
writer says, that his Lordship ought to lose no
time in departing, and that, arrive when he may,
it will require all his energy and firmness to in-
sure success, in consequence of the dissensions
, of the chiefs.

[MORNING POST.]
French Papers to the sth instant, reached us
last night by express. They do not contain the
least additional intelligence from the Peninsula,
from which it may be inferred that the execution
of Bessieres and his accomplices had at once re-
pressed the insurrection, for had any important
movement followed that event, another telegra-
phic communication would have undoubtedly
been made to the French Government. The
accounts from Greece, we rejoice to say, con-
firm those which we published yesterday,
and announce fresh triumphs. They are
dated Corfu, August 13, and after stating that
Redschid Pacha had lost one half of his army in
the various defeats which he had experienced
under the walls of Missolonghi, they inform us
that the Greek fleet had not only raised the
blockade of that place, but had succeeded in
burning two large Turkish vessels and capturing
a brig of war, after which the rest of the Otto-
man ships had fled for refuge to Mona, where
they were closely watched by Miaulis. Several
boats which had reached Corfu on the 12th
ult. from Prevesa and Calamo had also
brought the still more important intelligence
that the Greek troops which were at Salona
having arrived to succour Missolonghi, had
concerted measures with the besieged, in conse-
quence of which a simultaneous attack was made
upon the enemy in the night of the 7th with the
most complete success. Almost all his baggage
had fallen into the hands of the Greeks, who are
stated to have pursued the flying wrecks of his
arm as far as Vrachori. Of Ibrahim Pacha no-
thing more had been heard, which proves that if
he had not been reduced to surrender, he had
not been able to cut his way through the nume-
rous Greek corps by whom he was surrounded,
nor even to transmit any authentic account to
explain his movements or situation. At the very
moment of its supposed extinction, the cause of
the Greeks is brightening on every point ; and
as the efforts of the Porte in the course of this
campaign have been the greatest which it was in
her power to make, the. victory gained over
them cannot fail to be attended with proportion-
ately beneficial and decisive results.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The following is an extract of a letter from
Madrid, dated Aug. 20 :—" We travelled from
Perpignan to Barcelona, which is a complete
French town. There are 5000 French troops
quartered there. We left Barcelona in a large
and comfortable Diligence, drawn by eight mules.
We had a guard of ragged soldiers all the way
from Barcelona to Veentia ; they were on foot,
but had no difficulty to keep up Kith us, and they
were relieved at every relay. From Valentia
to Madrid is about 252 English miles, which we
travelled in 4 days. This city, from the distance,
is remarkably attractive,well built, and the streets
wide and airy. It was reported a day or two
back, that a troop of the' regiment of St. Jego
had revolted, and bad proclaimed Charles V.
(the King's brother). There is no doubt of the
fact, for they have marched from Madrid, and a
regiment of the Cuirassiers have been sent after
them, and it is strongly suspected that they will
Join the rebels. Charles is the favourite of the
priests, on account of the disposition that he has
always shewn to call back the Inquisition, and to
favour coercive and not conciliatory measures.—
'This revolt is said to be premature and hasty,antl
will on that account be easily quelled. There have
been many arrests throughout the whole country
within these few days. No less than 196 people
were arrested lately at Seville,many of them priests
and some merchants, amongst whom, I have been
told, is the British Consul. There is also a re-
port that the French have ordered an Army of
Observation in the Eastern Pyrenees ; we, how-
ever, saw no such preparations, and there were
only 5000 men at Perpignan, and two regiments
at Figueras. There were 5000 men at Barcelona,
and we have two regiments of Swiss here ; one
of them attends the King at the Granja ; all
the Ministers went down to him the (lay before
yesterday. Mr. Lamb has been there for
some time. All the roads, on. the Bayonne
side, are terribly infested with banditti.—
A friend of mine has been robbed four times
within the last three years. As he is a very good
Spanish Scholar, the robbers put a cloak on the
ground, and told him that his party, had nothing
to fear for their personal safety, provided he
would assist them in robbing the others. As the
request was made under the disagreeable accom-
paniment of a couple of muskets, pointed at him,
he very soon made a collection on the ,cloak of
.ill their watches, purses, and other valuables.
There has been seldom an instance of their using
violence like their brethren of Calabria."

[THE PUBLIC LEDGEttI
Direct advices were received yesterda.y. from
Napoli di Romania by a. respectable House in
the City. They are dated the .21st of July,
and are the latest by several days from that
city, which may be ❑ow called the principal

bulwark of Greek liberty. At that time the
utmost order and tranquillity prevailed there,
and not the least apprehensitin of a. second hostile
visit seems to have • been je,Oertained. So
far, indeed, was confid-ence :.restored in- this
respect, that the inhabitants had resumed
their ordinary occupations, as ,in times of pro-
found security. The Government, too, received
best of all assurances of public regard, in the
zeal and alacrity with which the measures it
deemed necessary to the public safety were car-
ried into effect. Things had, in fact, assumed
so favourable an aspect, that the President of
the Government (Conduriottis) thought he
could take advantage of it, without any in-
convenience to the Public, to visit his family,
whom, at the season of the greatest alarm,
he had placed at Hydra. He set out only
a few days before the date of our a,dvices,
and was expected back on the day subsequent to
it (the MI.) Captain Hamilton, of the Cam-
brian, was still at Napoli, with four other vessels ;
and that his presence might not be liable to mis-
representation, he declared to such as it concern-
ed, that his only object was, the protection of Bri-
tish trade. The conduct of this intelligent officer
has given universal satisfaction, which is no slight
compliment to his discretion and judgment, where
he had to conciliate persons of the most conflict-
ing opinions, and to arrange matters between
parties, whose interests were, in most cases, at
complete variance. Where his duties have br'ought
him contact with either of the belligerents, he
has always conducted himself with the strictest
impartiality; and we merely mention these things,
to she w the injustice with which he was charged
some time since in the Foreign Journals,
of having aided the Turks in their designs.—
This charge is the more unjust, as it is well known
that Captain Hamilton's sentiments are of a very
different character, though we have not heard
that he has, in a single instance, given way to
them, so as to tamper with the spirit, or even the
letter of his instructions, which enjoin him to
observe the strictest neutrality.

[MORNING HERALD.]
Throughout yesterday morning the Funds exhi-
bited a very uncertain appearance, the most knowing ones, with
all their profundity, seeming to be quite undecided whether to
buy or sell for the Account. Consols opened at 87ii, but there
was very little done beyond the delivery of Money Stock, which
had been sold last week for yesterday, until the Commissioners
for the Reduction of the Debt purchased at 87k, the price for
the Account having then receded to 87ifi. From that time they
improved until they reached 883, with alternate buyers and
sellers, and often a slight fl:ictuation ; they closed at 84 sellers,
the general appearance of the Market being not at all steady.—
It is said that money is not as scarce in the house as it is out of
doors, but it is admitted that 4i per cent. can be obtained on
the very best security, and under those circumstances it is not
to be supposed it would be invested in Consols at the present
price. Exchequer Bills were again rather lower ; the large ones
were 3 5 to par, and those advertised to be cancelled from 2 to
par. Great anxiety was manifested to see if any further im-
provement would take place in the rates of Foreign Exchange,
but they were fixed at nearly the same rate as on Friday, and
by the last accounts no favourable change has yet taken place
on the other side of the water. There are still heavy complaints
against the bankers for not discounting commercial bills. There
was a little bustle in some of the South American Securities,
but it produced no material alteration, and, it would appear,
nearly all the Foreign Stocks now hang in suspense, dependent
on the price of the British. There was some trifling dabbling
in some of the schemes, but it was chiefly confined to the
gamblers in the alley, and of little moment.
