Until recently the increase of pOpulation had

always been considered both as the effect and the
' ,cause of national prosperity and happiness. La-
bour is liberally rewarded, while the society is
advancing in the acquisition of wealth.—" The
" liberal reward of labour," said ADAM SMITH,
" as it is thie effect of increasing wealth, so it is
" the cause of' increasing population. To corn-
" plain of it is to lament over the necessary effect
" and cause of the greatest public prosperity."

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

L ,3.1.1,-1. EXTRACTS FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS,

June 9.

[NEW TIMES.]
There remains but one hope to the friends of
the licentiousness of the Press, and that is, that
they may be able to turn aside the course of jus-
tice, under the false and hypocritical pretence of
a regard for the purity of its administration.—
What are they doing at this moment ? Placard-
.
ine the town with libels against the prosecutors—
advertising the names of the Jurors. Are not
both these steps meant to prejudice the trials ?
Either Mary Anne Carlile, Mr. Dolby, Mr.
Benbow, and Mr. 11 belwall are innocent of the
matters laid to their charge, or they are guilty.
Let that question be decided on its own merits.
Either the Constitutional Association is a legal
or illegal combination, let that question be de-
cided on its own merits. But no ! the private
character of the Secretary must 11,e attacked in
the most base and unmanly manner. The whole
Association, including names of the highest rank
and respectability,must be branded as " a Gang,"
Conspirators," an " infamous Association !"
And all this, forsooth, out of a new and ex-
traordhiary love for justice, a sudden passion
for ex-officio informations, and a scrupulous ten-
derness for the rights and privileges of the
Attorney-General ! A low vender of seditious
pamphlets brings an incredible charge against
the Association : his story is immediately cre-
dited, and fresh venom is infused into his abuse
of that body, by his worthy co-adjutor, the Edi-
tor of The Times. The length of the debates in
the House of Commons obliges us to defer until
our next the insertion of a complete exposure
of the infamous falsehoods of Mr. Edward King,
who pretends to answer on oath the affidavit of
the Clerk of the Association, but dares not
swear to the truth of his own letter! In one re-
spect the clamour of the seditious Press has been
serviceable; it has called the attention of men of
rank and influence more closely to the proceed-
ings of the Association. They have found them
just and legal, undertaken from necessity, and
conducted with prudence ; and the result has
been, that many eminent persons, who before
hesitated to join the Association, haVe now come
eagerly forward in its support. A Noble Earl
yesterday subscribed his name, with a contribu-
tion of fifty pounds.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
In the course of the discussion last night it was
stated by the Marquis of Londonderry that the
personal property of the late King did not
amount, in the hands of the Commissioners at the
time of his Majesty's demise, to more than
80,000/., which was subject to the payment of
pensions and salaries to, a considerable amount,
in conformity with the wishes of the late King.—
The real property of his Majesty vested in his
son and successor; for, as the Noble Lord stated,
although the King had, in point of fact, made a
will, it was not supposed to be valid in law, and
therefore its dispositions have not been carried
into effect. Upon the subject of the personal pro-
perty, a measure is at some future period to be
submitted to Parliament for the purpose of
regulating the disposition of it ; but the real
property is placed under the control of the Com-
missioners of Woods and Forests, and the pro-
ceeds of it, like those of all other lands belonging
to the Crown, fall into the general mass of the
Consolidated Fund. With respect to the property
of the late Queen, it was stated by the Marquis
rof Londonderry, that all the rumours representing
her Majesty to have accumulated large sums of
money in various funds were idle and unfounded,
and that her Majesty, at the period of her demise,
was not possessed of more money than was
merely sufficient to discharge her debts. Mr.
Hume subsequently withdrew his amendment, in
favour of an amendment proposed by Mr. Ilar-
herd, for allowing a sum of 6,000!. a year from
the present time, excluding any arrear. The
Committee divided on this amendment, when
there appeared—Ayes, 43 ; Noes, 119.—Majo-
rity for the original motion, 76.

[MORNING POST.]
The Marquess of Lansdowne laid before the
House of Lords last night a fresh Report from
the Committee on Foreign Trade. The view
which this document presents of the flourishing
state of our Silk Manufacture is no less gratifying
than important. It appears that this manufac-
ture, established under most discouraging circum-
stances, and entirely supported hitherto by pro-
hibitory' laws, compelled for a long period
of years to depend upon the very country
which it was intended to oppose for its supplies
of raw material, and having to contend besides
against the general -prejudice which gave the su-
periority in all, articles 'of silk manufacture to
France, has not. only attained a high degree" of
prosperity, but has gained a complete ascendancy
over the silk manufactures of France: This fact
is proved by a comparison between the quantity
of raw material used last year in the two coun-
tries. In France, according to the official state-
ment of the French Minister, that quantity was
two millions of pounds, and in England two mil-
lions and a half, the actual value of the silk
manufactured here being not less than ten mil-
lions sterling. This 'immense increase in the
branch where nothing of the kind had been an-
ticipated, is attributed in a great measure, by the
Report, to the opening of a free trade with
India, which has relieved our manufacturers
from their dependence upon France for the raw
material, and secured to them regular supplies,
twice or_ three times a year, from places in his
Majesty's own dominions. The quality of the
article has kept pace with the quantity, and the
effect of the improvement has already been, not
only an augmented demand for labour at home,
but a decided preference for British silks in the
markets of the United States of America, and in
those of other countries.
