Extracts from the Morning Papers, Dec. 22.

[MORNING POST.]
We were the first to call attention to the ef-
fects of Mr. hlume's Bill for repealing the Com-
bination Laws. Scarcely had the measure passed
the Legislature, when the working manufacturers
in various parts of the country showed a refrac-
tory disposition, and in Glasgow attempts were
made to organize the whole body of the muslin
weavers in the United Kingdom into an affiliated
society. At present Sewland seems to be in a,
state of serious agitation from the proceedings of
the " operatives." And what are the objects of
the persons who thus combine ?—Not merely to
obtain an advance of wages, but to obtain a
rower and controul over the affairs of their mas-
ters. The proprietors of establishments are, in
short, to be made the slaves of their own work-
men, and the man who finds the capital to com-
mence and carry on business—who employs and
pays the numerous individuals that perform the
manipulations of the manufacture, and who live on
the talents of the Principal, are to have his interest
at their mercy! Any thing more preposterous has
never come under our observation in the most
chimerical periods. Such, however, are the bles-
sings provided by Mr. hlume's Legislative pro-
fundity. Because the Combination Laws im-
posed a salutary restraint upon the conduct of
the workman, the sagacious Member for Montrose
would repeal them, and thereby restrain the
master manufacturers only. So much, too, for the
adoption of theory without regard to experience.
But we have already so fully exposed the absur-
dity of the measure, whose direful consequences
are daily developing, that we shall not at present
pursue the subject further. That some remedy
is necessary, no one can doubt ; and, we presume,
it is equally certain, that a remedy will be found
and applied in the ensuing Session of Parliament.

[THE PUBLIC LEI)GEII.I
There are private advices in town from Buenos
Ayres to the '2d of October. A Gazette of the
11 th September has been also received, contain-
ing an official account from Colonel Valdes, who
commands the Buenos Ayrean troops in Upper
Peru, In which he gives the particulars of a suc-
cession of actions with the Spanish forces in that
province. The Officer opposed to Colonel Val-
des, is the Spanish General of the same name)
mho, it will be recollected, had beeu selected by'
the Viceroy to put down Olaneta. If he did
not succeed better in that commission, than he
has in his several engagements w ith his name-
sake, he has a chance of having his recent ho-
nours erased, by the same Royal hand that be-
stowed them ns the reward of his fidelity and
triumphs, in the cause of legitimacy. This de-
gradation, when Ferdinand is apprized of the
real state of things, is the more likely, as Valdez,
it is known, has a taint of liberalism, having been
appointed to his present command by the Con-
stitutional Government ; and, to remove this
stain, he had only one way left—that of dying
his sword deeply in the blood of Ferdinand's re-
bellious subjects in Peru. But, as he had not
the requisite mettle for this most loyal of offices,
his old sin, in all its enormity, will stand against
him in the faithful tablet of the royal memory ;
and his Grand Cross of St. Ferdinand, should he
return home, would not protect him from the
gripe of a legitimate hangman. Colonel Valdes,
in his dispatch to the Government of Buenos
Ayres, claims uniform success in all his actions
with the Spaniards ; and, besides other trophies,
about eleven hundred prisoners were the results
of his triumphs. As the enemy has probably
sustained an equivalent loss in killed and wound-
ed, his situation would soon be as precarious as
that of his countrymen, who were flying before
Bolivar. As both Valdez and Canterac were
pressed by superior forces ; and as neither of
them, under these circumstances, could assist the
other; there is every prospect of the war being
brought to a more speedy termination than the
most sanguine friends of the Independent cause
had, a short time since, ventured to anticipate.
It is even possible, that tidings of the cessation
of hostilities may reach this country before Par-
liament assembles ; and, as in this case, there
would not be a single Spaniard in arms on the
American continent, the conjuncture to which
Ministers have repeatedly appealed, when it
would be their duty, as well as their fixed re-
sol,e, to recognize the independence of the New
States, would have actually arrived.

[einerisn .ettEss.]
By the Robert, which arrived at Liverpool on
Monday, we have received letters and papers
from Buenos Ayres to the 4th of October.. On
the day previous an extraordinary number of the
Argos had beet published, containing the official
dispatches of the :defeat of the Spaniards, at
Junin, by Bolivar. ,The success of the Coloin,
Wails in this skirmish seems to have filled the
good people of Buenos Ayres with extravagant
demonstrations of joy, The .news is headed in
the Argot ,with a pretty well-executed wood-
cut, representing the Courier Extraordinary
bringitig ,the.dispatelles from Chili,. and it is ad-
dressed, in large characters,• to the attention of
the Madrid Gazelle and the „Dale:. of Paris.--
There is no intelligence whatever in these papers,
reapectiog Oltineta or the civil war in 'Upper
Peru. It is therefore, improbable that the
Spanish servile had declared. in the cause of in.,
dependence, ,as the last:dispatches from Bolivar's:
army somewhat hastily, we fear, affirmed. • The

come up with them with the entire of his army, be sent the
whole of his cavalry in pursuit, under the command of Nico-
cheo, who came up with the Spaniards, destroyed their cavalry,
and took a number of prisoners. It is said the infantry came
over to the Patriots. Nicocheo is said to have behaved ex-
ceedingly well in this affair, and has been severely wounded.
Lhua and Callao must fall into Bolivar's hands of course, I
suppose. If 1 get the Gazette in time, I shall inclose it."

[THE TIMES.]
We received last night New York papers to
the 25th of Novernber,- which arrived at Liver-
pool on the 2 Oth of December, by the Manhat-
tan. Though the papers are five days later
than those which came by the last packet, they
contain no news worth extracting.

In our foreign news, under the head CC Aleppo,"
will be found a Firman published by the Sultan
of Persia, prohibiting the introduction of the
Bible into his dominions. As we read the man-
date, we thought that the Imperial author of it
was no worse an enemy to Christianity than the
Pope of Rome, his Holiness having, in like man-
ner forbidden the knowledge of the Word of
God to the subjects of his spiritual dominion in
Ireland ; and there is no doubt that the Bible is
equally fatal to Popery and Mahometunism. No
one could learn one word of either of them from
the sacred hook in which Christians believe.—
On looking farther, however, into the foreign
news, we learned that his Holiness stands sus-
pected of being the author of the happy project
for proMoting Christianity in Persia also as well
as in Ireland, by smothering the authentic re-
cords—" Catholics as well as Christians believing
" the Firman to have been issued at the instance
" of the Roman Catholic Clergy."--(lbid.)

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
Letters were received yesterday from the City
of Buenos Ayres, dated to the Ist October, and
the informatiou which they communicate from
Alto Peru is particularly satisfactory. From the
beginning to the middle of August various actions
occurred betwixt the Patriots and Royalists, and
the result has been the capture of upwards of
one thousand prisoners by the former, along
with a great quantity of military stores, &c. &c.
Colonel Valdes, the Independent leader on these
occasions, has greatly distinguished himself, and
should General Canterac make good his retreat
on the Royalist forces, commanded by General
Valdes, he will only form a junction with forces
in an equal degree as destitute as his own. The
Liberator, in his dispatch of the 27th August,
promised to finish the Peruvian war before the
close of this year, and the advices received yes-
terday from Buenos Ayres do more than render
probable the predictions of this distinguished
friend to the human race. The official account
of the victory gained by the Liberator on the Pith
August over the Royalist army under General
Canterac bad been received at Buenos Ayres,
and had given great satisfaction to the people.

We rejoice to tied that the disciples of Tom
Paine are again likely to be repelled with dis-
grace from the Ward of Farringdon Without.
Many men, who are disposed to allow great lati-
tude to political principle, are not prepared to
go the length of denying their Saviour. The ob-
jections against Paine's Age of Reason are not
merely that the author entertains an honest doubt
on questions of the highest import, but that he
treats subjects of the most awful sanctity with
brutal and shocking mockery. To religious liber-
ty, In the proper sense of the words, there can-
not be more sincere friends than we are ; but li-
berty does not demand, nay, it cannot tolerate,
impious attacks on that which mankind in gene-
ral regard as holy. He who avows himself a dis-
ciple of Paine avows himself not only to he irre-
ligious, but to be• regardless of the pain that he"
inflicts.on every religious mind. At the close of
the poll for the day the Painites were yesterday
left in a decided minority ; and there seems
little probability that the Ward will ever again
be disgraced by the election of Mr. Ex-Secre-
tary Galloway. Still we say to the respectable
part of the inhabitants, come forward, and do
your duty us Englishmen and as Christians.

PROPOSED ENGLISH AND BRISTOL CHANNELS

SHIP CANAL.

The extracts which we have already given from
the Reports of Captain Nicuom.s on this great
national undertaking, are sufficient evidence of
the sense which we entertain of its importance.
The following paragraphs skew the saving of
time which will be accomplished by all vessels
using the proposed canal, instead of going round
the Land's End.
44 The most obvious fact to be noticed is the
great saving in distance, which the vessels pass-
ing from the Irish or Bristol Channel into the
English Channel, and, vice versa, will effect by
using the proposed Canal instead of going round
the Land's End, and which saving cannot be
reckoned at less than 300 miles. This, under
common circumstances, may, I apprehend, be
considered as a saving of six days for a direct
advance on the voyage of 50 11111e3 per day, will
be found to be beyond the average rate of sav-
ing of coasting vessels.
In the difficult nautical directions for navigat-
ing the English and Bristol Channel, it is stated
by some that westerley winds prevail for eight
months,in others that they prevail for nine months
in the year. The truth, I believe, lies between
them.

To vessels, therefore, proceeding round the
Land's End into the Irish or Bristol Channels, or
from these Channels to London and the other
Ports in the English Channel and Germanic
Ocean, there are about nine chances out of twelve
that they will meet with contrary winds during
one half their voyage.
Looking then to this last circumstance, as well
as to the sating in distance, I am quite sure that
vessels navigating between the above-named
points will on an average throughout the year
save fully a week's sail in each passage out and
home, by using the canal instead of goitg round
the Land's End, reckoning that the passage of
a vessel through it will occupy about a day
and a half, for the width of the canal being
ninety-five feet, vessels will be able to pass
each other with facility ; and as it has on the
whole a level range of 34 miles for navigation,
uninterrupted by locks ; and as moreover the
direction of the canal will be nearly north and
south, whenever the wind shall blow from the
eastward or from the westward, as it most gene-
rally will do, vessels will be able to use their
sails with advantage in passing through it ; and
I see no objection to their being permitted to do
so under proper regulations. Sloops and fore and
aft rigged vessels will mostly be able to sail
through : at times recourse must be had to tracking,
either by the crews or with horses, or occasionally
by both, or it may very possibly hereafter be
found expedient to establish some kind of steam
boats on the canal for the purpose of towing ves-
sels through it.
There are, however, other circumstances con-
nected with the passage of vessels round the
Land's End from the Ports on the south coast of
Wales, which must, as far as the Welch traders
are concerned, greatly increase the above esti-
mated saving of time. These circumstances I
will here state.

The regular traders between Cardiff and
London generally make six complete voyages
in the year. The passage from one place
to the other sometimes occupies thirty days ;
it has been done in six; but these are
alike unusual occurrences. From Swansea and.
Milford the length of passage is somewhat less,
—from Newport and Bristol it is rather more.
Perhaps 12 days may be taken as about the
average length of passage each way between these
places and London ; but then the voyage must
only be considered as commenced when the
vessel has actually sailed from and cleared the
last port in the Bristol Channel, for excepting in
the summer months, and in very moderate wea-
ther, vessels cannot depart from the ports in South
Wailes to go round the Land's End, unless the
wind be in such a direction as will enable them
to sail out clear of the coast in one tide ; if
they cannot accomplish this, the returning
tide which is here exceedingly rapid, would
drift them back again, probably to lee-
ward of the port whence they started. In
summer, vessels do occasionally venture to sail
with.., a westerly wind, and take the chance of
anchoring to save a tide, but in winter never.
The most usual place of rendezvous for vessels
waiting for a wind to sail from the Bristol Chan-
nel is Pennarth roads, near to the entrance of
Cardiff river, where they may be sheltered
under the high land of Pennarth, and whence
they can readily proceed on their voyage in
case the wind should become favourable for their
'doing so. The detension here is often for a con-
siderable length of time, and it was only last
year that a great number of vessels were actually
kept here and at Swansea, and at Milford, for
thirteen weeks by the continued prevalence of
westerly winds.
The delay occasioned to the Welch trade,
by this last mentioned cause alone, cannot, I
think, on an average of seasons, be reckoned
at so little as a week for each voyage—
or 6 weeks in the year ; and if the ship canal
was cut from Stolford, or some concurrent point
of the Bristol Channel, across to the proposed
termination at Beer Harbour in the English Chan-
mei, no such delays would take place, for vessels
from all parts of Wales might then cross over to
'its entrance from whatever point the wind blew,
and, in 24 hours, be transported to an open part
of time English Channel either in winter or
Slimmer.

O►► the whole then, and taking into account
this cause of detention, which, although it is not
confined to, yet applies more especially to vessels
frequenting the Bristol Gunnel, as well as
the other sources of delay before noticed, and re.
gar►iing moreover the facilities which the propos.
,ed Canal will yield generally to the communi-
cations between Ireland and the western parts
of England, and all the ports on the English Chan '
nel and German Ocean, I think that I do
not overrate its advantages wheu I reckon that
on an average of circumstafices, and seasons a
fortnight will be saved by all the vessels which
shall regularly use it In their outward and home.
ward passage, instead of going round the Land's

End, or in other words, that wliero six inure
voyages are now performed in the year, vessels
from the Welsh Ports will then always, and
other vessels will generally, be enabled to make
twelve.

The saving in expence will, of course, bear a
certain proportion to a saving of time, and we
may arrive at some kind of an approximation to
its amount, by attending to the following state-
ments.
In the returns made to Parliament during the
last Session on the motion of Sir Tilos(As La
BRIDGE, Bart., it appears that five thousand and
eighty-eight vessels, whose registered tonnage
amounted to 410,673 tons, passed round the
Land's End, from one part of the British coast to
another, during the year 1823. The average
tD sizensa n
of these
d probably, vess l
therefore, rpefo re er Reg
, each of them
would carry about 100 tons of cargo.
I will suppose each vessel to be navigated -by
a Master and five other persons, men and boys,
ister, was 80. f.
and I will take the cost of wear and tear of the
vessel, and the expence of wages and niaintea
nance of the crew, at only 21. per diem., on an
average. This, for the 5,088 vessels will bo
10,1761. per diem, or 142,4641. for a fortnight,
which is above calculated to be the probable
saving of time, by means of the proposed canal,
to all vessels using it instead of going round the
Land's End. I will, however, omi
ent t the other
branches of trade, and for the pres confine
my observations to the above-named number of
vessels alone, it being sufficient for my purpose
to shew what the saving will be here, and from
which its probable amount on the total number of
vessels passing the Land's End may be easily
inferred.
From the above-estimated saving, 1.124641.
however must be deducted 75,9.90/. ls., which sum
would be paid on the amount of tonnage passing
along the canal at ld. per ton per mile for 44
miles. I have here taken the registered tonnages
leaving the great saving of 67,1731. 19i. to the
shippers of goods .and owners of vessels an..
nua lly, and when to this is added, as there ought
to be added a fortnight's interest on the value or
cost of the cargoes of these 5,088 vessels, an d
the risk or cost of insurance which will be saved
by means of the canal, the amount of saving as
above estimated will be greatly increased.
Ilaving, in the preceding estimation, purposely
excluded foreign vessels, and British vessels

to the Appendix 8., that I have intentionally
abstained from noticing the expence of tracking

apprehend, be nearly covered by the sums which
are now paid to the several lights on the coasts.
Another consideration as to the saving of ex'
pence is, that vessels returning round the Land '9
End,after having discharged their cargoes, arenow
obliged to take on board a great quantity of ballast
to enable them to carry a press of sail, in case the
wind should set in strong from the westward, sl4e
