THE LONDON JOURNALS.

LITRAGT9 FROM THE•: ra A. ILY 'MORNING PAPERS,

June 4, 1822.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We received the Paris Papers of Saturday last
night by express. The Constitutionnel contains
a very important document, (see THE SUN of this
day), were its authenticity placed beyond doubt,
being no other than a Russian declaration of war.
That Journal has, however, candidly stated cir-
cumstances with respect to the manner in which
it became. possessed of this document, which are
not certainly calculated to obtain for it the high-
est.degree of credit: Without entering into any
examination of its contents, we should say, that
in our opinion the recent loan opened in this
city, though it may be considered as every thing
but an indication of peace, is yet not easily re-
concileable with so speedy an issue of a declara-
tion of war. We cannot, for a moment, suppose
that there- i:vas not an express understanding.
between the Russian Cabinet and the Contrac-
tors, that a sufficient interval should be allowed
to theM for the disposal of their stock. Such an
interval has not, we should suppose, been yet
allowed in this case. The credit of despotic
States is of too tender a nature to allow any of
them -to escape uninjured from so rude'a shock
as they would receive from coming into collision
with the house of RothsChild.--Th;s much we
think ourselves bound in justice to say on the
subjtct of this questionable document. A panic,
however, seized yesterday the Stock Exchange
here, and Russian Stock experienced a con-
siderable fall. The document alluded to was
probably the foundation of the various rumours.

[NEW TIMES.]
It was rumoured yesterday on 'Change, that
advices. from Madrid to a late date had arrived,
stating that the Cortes had refused to sanction the
terms of the late Loan. In consequence of this
report, together with the depression which has
lately prevailed in the Spanish Bond market, the
Certificates of that Stock became unusually
heavy, and the price declined to 601. Even
that must be considered a nominal price, as there
were in fact no buyers. We could not, however,
trace the report above mentioned to any au-
thentic source. The new Russian Loan also
has again declined, and the market was
uncommonly flat all day yesterday. Very
little business was done, and the highest price
that can be quoted for the Certificates is 801,—
The new Chili Bonds are also dull, but still
something continues to be done in them, and
throughout the day they preserved the closing
price of Saturday, viz. 76i. Consols for the
Account.opened yesterday at 79i 80, and little
or no business was doing ; when the Constitu-
lionnel of Saturday was exhibited, containing a
fabricated declaration of war between Russia
and Turkey. Some two or three persons then
commenced selling, and in consequence Consols
declined to a ; but the barefaced nature of the
fiction was too apparent to produce any serious
consequences, or to create more than a momen-
tary effect. The market subsequently relapsed
into its former torpid state, and closed, u.s it
opened, at 79i 80.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
In the House of Commons last evening the
Report on the Military and Naval Pensions
scheme, and the reduction of taxes consequent
thereon, produced a long discussion. The re-
sult was the adoption of the Report, with the
exception of the proposition for the reduction of
the duty on Salt, as affecting Ireland. Upon this
point Sir John Newport complained that while
the proposed Resolution remitted the tax in
England, it in effect augmented it as to Ireland.
The resolution in consequence stands over for re-
consideration until Wednesday (to-morrow.)--
In the discussion which took place upon the
Corn Importation Bill, Mr. Curwen and Mr.
Western stated, that in common with the agri-
cultural interests with which they were in corre-
spondence, they preferred the law •as it now
stands to the modifications proposed by the pre-
sent measure. Sir Thomas Lethbridge added
that in ti,e event of the Bill passing through that
House, he was intrusted with one hundred peti-
tions to be presented to the House of Lords
against it.

[MORNING HERALD.]
This evening Mr. Wallace's Bill comes on
for the Third Reading. In its present shape,
we hope it will meet with an effectual opposition,
and share the fate of Mr. Scarlett's Poor Bill—
namely, be thrown out. This we believe to be
the wish of every manufacturer in the United
Kingdom. The principle of warehousing foreign
manufactures, f6r the purpose of being seen
by foreign merchants, in the sadie ware-;
house, 'and on the same counter, in compe-
tition with. our own manufactures, is absurd.
No one, except a person totally unacquainted
with the mannfaCturing interests of the United
Kingdom, would venture to introduce such
a Bill as Mr.. Wallace is now endeavouring
to pass through the House'. It is much to be
regretted that Sir Robert Peel is no longer a
Member of the House of Commons ; we are con-
fident that he would oppose Mr. Wallace's Bill
in all its stages, just as he did his son's Cash
Payment Bill, of which Ministers would no* be
glad enough to get rid. , The House of Commons
are much in want of a,few practical Members
like Sir Robert. At. present, theory and not
practice is the order of the day.

[TILE TIMES. 3
It will be seen iu the debate on the new
scheme for- -distributing, over a long course of
years the burden of naval and military pensions,
that the Chancellor of the Exchequer agrees to
an amendment for enabling the Commissioners of
the Sinking Fund to become purchasers of the
proposed annuities:- What a happy set of offi-
cers these pensitin 'trustees must- be.! They had
formerly two, now they are to have three, strings
to their bow. They can. (nike up the dif-
ference between their annual. advances into
the Exchequer and their annual receipts

from the revenue, by,.the ,sale of annuities,
by an issue of Exdliequer bills, .or by
,deal-
ing with the Sinking Fund Commisironiri.—
It will be a pleasant and edifying task to every
lover of his country to watch the interesting
transactions of those two Boards with each other

—to observe with what jealous circumspection
the one guards against any attempt to be over-
reached by the other, or to rob their common
principal, the public, in behalf of the public it-
self—to jee the one set of Commissioners in-
creasing the national resources by driving a hard
bargain with the other, which has the same
object in view—to witness them sitting under
the same roof and supporting public credit as
boys do a shuttle-cock, by tossing it backwards
and forwards between each other, and to antici-
pate the delightful results which their conflicting
union of effort, their harmonious opposition of
purpose, must produce for the general weal,
which they combine in hostile concert to promote !
Yet, by taking from the sinking fund by buying
annuities, we are not retarding the march of that
fund ! What a lucky inventor we have for a
finance minister. He can remit two millions of

taxes, and pay pensions and support the sinking
fund as before. .To be serious, is not all this
circuitous absurdity of trustees and ministers, to
avoid the appearance of having yielded to the
recommendations of the Opposition in the early
part of the session ?

[MORNING POST.]
The House of Commons last night went through
the Report of the Committee on the Chancellor
of the Exchequer's Plan for the Commutation of
the Half-pay and Pension Charges, and the Re-
mission of • Taxes in consequence of that mea-
sure. On the first. Resolution being read, Mr.
flume once More moved literally the same
amendment which he proposed on every for-
mer available occasion since this question
has been under the consideration of Parlia-
ment—namely, that the sums remitted in.taxes
should be taken out of the present five mil-
lions of Surplus Revenue, set apart as a Sink-
ing Fund. The Hon. Member had of course
nothing new to offer upon the subject ; and we
have already so fully examined every part of it,
as to render a particular refutation of his argu-
ments now quite superfluous. His motion, on a
division, was negatived by a majority of 81 to
This result was naturally foreseen from the
commencement, and therefore did not prevent
Mr. Grenfell stating that, after Mr. Hume's
argument was disposed of, he should submit
one of a different character to the House. The
latter was to empower the Commissioners of the
Sinking Fund, in case they thought it expedient,
to invest any monies which they might have for
liquidating the National Debt, in the purchase
of,the New Annuities to be granted under the
present plan, or any other terminable Govern-
ment Annuities issued with the sanction of
Parliament. The Chancellor of the Exchequer
immediately observed that he had intended himself
to propose a similar clause to the House, but would,
instead of that course, willingly adopt Mr. Gren-
ell's Amendment in the proper stage of the pro-
feedings. It will instantly strike our readers
drat this improvement completes and perfects Mr.
Vansittart's original design. The Commissioners
of the Sinking Fund will thus obtain 'that full
influence over • the Stock Market calculated to
keep all public securities on a fair footing,
and to facilitate any financial object far the
service of the State which his Majesty's Minis-
ters may have in view: The effect of this opera-
tion on the New Annuities themselves, when
first introduced into the market, will, we think,
be extremely salutary, and prevent any sacri.:
flees of those securities to jobbing or•scheming.
At-all times' it must be of great importance to
give the Commissioners as wide a scope and as
many descriptions of funds to deal,in as possible,
and on this account we entirely-concur in the
principle of the present amendment. It was
finally annexed to the Resolutions, and unani-
mously Cart led.

SHIPPING INTEREST.

MR. EDITOR—There is a strong rumour abroad,
which, if true, should be more generally known,
that a small body of men, calling themselves the
Ship-owners Society of London, have actually
undertaken to negotiate a compromise on the
great national question now pending for altering
the Navigation Laws ; and that they have actually
done this withoht ever consulting the oat ports of
the kingdom ; and, moreover, sent Mr. WALLACE,
the Vice President of the Board of Trade, a sort
of complimentary letter, for not having persevered
in abrogating the whole code, as he first seemed
to intend.—This is really so great an infringement
on the rights of the British Ship-owners and Sea-
men of this kingdom (for those laws may be termed
their inheritance and birth-right) and for any set
of men to think of compromising or surrendering
them is (if true) deserving the most severe re-
prehension from the whole community, and par-
ticularly that of a disjointed society, composed
of merchant and broker Ship-owners, and not of
seamen Ship-owners, who have split into divi-
sions with each other ; the one party for
trying a dangerous expedient on the Navi-
gation and Colonial Policy in the West Indies ;
and the other party wishing to save, for
a short time, a shadow of the East India transit,
has submitted to an infringement on the whole
principle of the Navigation and Colonial Policy,
and has surrendered the whole of the European
transit of Britain, without a struggle, equally to
natives or foreigners, which will have the
effect of throwing the whole of the European
Trade into the hands of the foreigners. If
the London Society of Ship-owners have done
this, and there are strong grounds for thinking
so, it is hoped that the members for the Maritime
Districts and landed interests in Parliament, will
stand firmly up for the preservation of the old
code, under the influence of which the country
has so long flourished, notwithstanding they may
not haVe the benefit of the lungs of the City Stentor,
who promised to make the walls of Parliament
echo, so as to be heard over the whole kingdom.

NAVIGATION LAWS.

Mn. Enrron—With reference to Mr. ROBIN
SON'S and Mr. WALLACE'S Bills in progress
through Parliament, and which go to repeal
our Navigation and Colonial Laws, &c. Pe-
titions from our Shipping and Manufactur-
ing Interests are not only presented against
them, but it is said that certain gallant charac-
ters at the head of our naval department be-
gin to question certain Gentlemen whence they
are to be supplied with sailors for our Navy
when the nursery for our gallant tars shall be
transferred to foreigners, and which will be
equal to a nursery for seamen to man 20 sail of
the line, while it will deprive us of the same
number, and make a balance against us of 40 sail
of the line to meet our foe in future wars ; it
will be too late, when our Navy shall be prevented
going to sea for want of seamen, to say " who
would have thought it ?" The public in general
begin to whisper, do these good gentlemen at the
head of the Board of Trade know what they are
about, as they talked of increasing our Shipping
and Navigation, in like manner, when the East
India Charter, the American Treaties, and the
alteration of the Timber Duties were effected ;
whereas, the reverse has been the consequence of
these Acts. To give Foreign Shipping the em-
ployment of our own is an odd way of increasing
our Shipping and Navigation. The public also
ask who last war broke the colossal naval power
of the world, gave England her subsequent
victories, and preserved her own independence ?
The answer is, the British jack tars. The next
question is, who will do it in future wars if
Messrs. ROBINSON and WALLACE, by their
bills, transfer the money of British seamen to
foreigners ?—The landed interest begin to ask,
who are to maintain those tens of thousands of
our gallant countrymen, when deprived of em-
ployment by the Bills in question, and which
will cost the landed interest more than a million
per annum?. while the country begin to think
we ought to have practical men at the head of
this Board, as, from their not being so, they may,
by taking the advice of interested men, whose
God is their individual profit and commissions,
at their own or any other country's expence, com-
pletely destroy the commerce of their country
before they know what they have done. From
these circumstances it is supposed that Mr. R. and
Mr. IV: will not have the rashness to press their
bills further through the House; but should they
have that rashness, it is expected that they will be
so opposed by all true British interests, as not to
leave a doubt of, their being thrown out, for
which the 'empire will have just cause to rejoice.
These gentlemen appear to entertain the strange
notion of our being able to extend our,'„foreign
commerce, without first increasing the consump-
tion Of our people at home, or providirg a de-
fence for our country, • and provision for the
payment of our national debt and eipetditui;l :
such can only be the ideas of-Wilij thekisti.

MURDERS NEAR CARRIGALINE.

CORK; a late hour last night,
the Coroner's Inquest, which had been sitting at
Carrigaline from day to day since Saturday last,
on the body of Patrick Linehan, and his wife,
Eleanor, before a highly respectable Jury, of
which W. H. W. Newenham, of Coolmore, Esq.,
was Foreman, found, after a patient investigation,
and the examination of above 20 witnesses as to
the said Patrick Linehan, a verdict, first—

" That Patrick Linehan came by his death in a certain quar-
ry, on the morning of Friday, the 24th of May, on the lands of
Carrigaline, in consequence of various deep wounds which he
received on divers parts of his head, by which the skull was
considerably fractured, inflicted by Michael Cahill, of Carri-
galine, labourer, with some blunt instrument, such as a crow-
bar, or sledge; and further, that the said Michael Cahill was
aided, abetted, and assisted in so doing, by his father, John
Cahill, of Carrigaline, aforesaid, labourer."
The verdict on the second Inquest was in the
following terms :
" That Eleanor Linehan came by her death, on the night of
Friday the 24th of May, in her dwelling house at Carrigaline,
in consequence of a severe fracture on the skull, which was
broken in pieces, and part of the brain protruding, wilfully, ma-
liciously, and feloniously inflicted by Michael Cahill, labourer,
with some such weapoh as a spade; and that she received va-
rious wounds on her left arm, inflicted by said Michael Cahill,
at the same time and pla;e, with some sharp pointed instru-
ment, such as a bayonet."
KILKENNY, JUNE I.—Our pig market, yes-
terday, was well supplied, but prices were ex-
tremely low. Few sales were effected, even at
the rate of 13s. per cwt., which may be quoted
as the average value of this stock, yesterday.
MULLINGAR, MAY 30.—The result of last
Thursday's market completely verified the pre-
, diction we had made in our preceding number,
as to the fall in provisions. Apple potatoes
brought no more than 52d. per stone; blacks,42d.
to 5d.; and seed potatoes, 4d. This rapid decline,
from the alarming rise of the former market, was
highly consolatory to the numerous class of per-
sons who depend solely on potatoes, as au article
of food. We would caution farmers against
holding over whatever potatoes they may have
for sale, as there is a vast quantity of a superior
quality importing from Scotland ; besides, black
potatoes, at this season, will shortly become un-
saleable.—( Westmeath Journal.)

Another case of death from starvation, within

ed to the Committee for managing the poor's

fund, by one of the Roman Catholic Clergymen
of this parish.
A woman was found dead this day in a field
near Ballyheane. It is said she died of starva-
tion.

We omit some cases of severe suffering, from
want of food, which have been mentioned to us ;

ticate, by the publication of names and other
particulars.

TRINITY COLLEGE.--The Examinations for
the vacant Fellowships commenced on Wednesday. There are
eleven Candidates ; a greater number than can be remembered
on any former occasion. The Candidates are, Messrs. Chap-
man, , Herbert, Stcvelly, Stack, Kenny, Moore, Porter, Ha-
zard, Lloyd, Darley, and Lube. When it, is considered that
there are above 1700 names on the College books, this number
of Candidates is not disproportioned.—On 'Wednesday, Doctor
Wray examined from eight to ten in Logic, and Doctor Sadlier
from two to four in Mathematics. Yesterday, Doctor Wilson
examined in Natural Philosophy, and the Provost in Morality.
The Public Examinations concluded yesterday, with History
and Chronology in the forenoon, and Greek, Latin, and He-
brew in the afternoon. On Saturday the Examinations will be
