SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS,

Young as is our colony of New South 'Wales,
complaints begin already to show themselves
against the way in which the public money has
been expended, and the blame is thrown on that
vicious and rotten system It hich has been pre-
scribed in England for the administration of the
colony. In the case of the United States, dis-
coveries of this kind were not completed under a
long course of years. The old colonists of Eng-
land were occupied for a century with any thing

' subjects, and the causes early develop themselves
of those disputes, which lead, if unsettled, to the
final dissolution of empires. The principle, then,
is already scented out, even in what may be
termed the embryo establishment of New Hol-
land—the principle, by pertinaciously contend-
ing for which, England must one day be com-
pelled
to forego her dominion over it. In what-
ever British colony the produce of the taxes is
expended by individuals, and for purposes which-
are not controullcd by the people who pay them,
that question is started, and that. spirit excited,
which will at last abolish the abuse, or effect
the separation of the colony. There must,
wherever the materials for it exist, be a solid
representation of die people in every distant
dependency of Great .I~7tain. It must be
granted one day in New HollsaT4 and at the
Cape. Nay, in some centuries, if
so long, there must be a local Parliament. The
business of the mother country, as hitherto
exemplified, has been to wring from the colo-
nists whatever could be forced from them, for

the use of the aristocracy at home. The busi-
ness of the colonists is to resist that wrenching ;
and if by no other means, by separation. In
what a state are the Canadas at this moment
while we write ! They have, in the eye of an
Englishman, little to complain of, their trade
being in some degree favoured, and the form of
a legislature allowed. But the favour shown to
Canadian produce is not extensive enough, and
the legislative power is not real. The Cana-
dians, therefore, do actually assert that if they
“overned themselves, they Would be much bet-
ter governed. Their internal iinprovements are
checked by perverse rapacious approp?iations of
land ; the official patronage is too largely shared
by natives of Great Britain ; the Governor Mid
his Council assume too much power, and thf.l
inhabitants have a dangerous example at their
door, in the shape of a successful and prosperous
experiment of emancipation. The spirit of the
Government of Canada, we learn, has not for 30
years been liberal toward the people, except dur-
ing the time of Sir George Prevost, an un-
fortunate commanding officer, but admirable in
his civil administration. Under this gentleman,
who was a native of the country, volunteers
poured in from every district to defend it ; and
some of the most efficient corps we had were
raised within the province. The tone of Sir
James Craig was harsh and absolute. Lord
Dalhousie, otherwise a respectable nobleman;
leans more to the system of Craig than of Pre-
vost ; and the effect is seen in the disposition of
the country, which breathes nothing but angry
discontent. We say, therefore, that some fresh
and pure blood mnst be infused into the whole
of our colonial system. The state of the Ca-
nadas is more urgent than that of any other
transmarine possession, because there the popu-
lation is stronger, and the sense of miagovern-
ment more general and acute. Those counttiem
must be ruled (as Ireland must be ruled, for she,
too, has had still worse usage than a colony) on
a consideration of what best suits their local in-
terest, and not of the manner in which they may
be forced to yield the greatest sacrifice to the
parent state ; otherwise they will inevitably cast
about for an opportunity of releasing themselves
from trammels imposed by English selfishness or
pride, and the history of the United States will
have become that of our entire colonial empire.
The Duke of Wellington may depend upon it
that no time is to be lost in reconciling the
Canadas to the King's Government. All his
Grace's three millions' worth of fortification will
serve but fer'a monument of worse than childish
negligence, if, while preparing for the enemy in
front of it, be leaves a more deadly one behind.

observed, that he was indebted for his success to
of a very extensive
application. All pursuits
are beset with difficulties in the commencement.
Many persons, for instance, may suppose from
the Reports of Parliamentary Committees on
Crime and Police, and the observation of what.
takes place in Courts of Justice, that knavery and
dishonesty are safer and more profitable than
they actually are. It is, however, here, as in
every other line in England, nothing so danger-
ous as over-trading. The approved principle
would seem to be, to take care to be always able
to cover every transaction—that is, that in steal-
ing and defrauding, in all their various branches,
have a fund in reserve
a party should always
equal to the value of the business
done at any
one time, so that in case of detection, the sufferer
A guilty man who is -

prudent, may fare. n in our
Courts of Justice, and we all know that in-
nocence without money is s. very slender
protection. It is they only who
pro can trade securely
who, according to the Police Report, have
~ means of evading, if not defying
the arm of
the law,"and hence the security
of those who,
according to the same document, "are wealthy
enough, if larger rewards
are offered for their
detection, to double them for their impunity ;
and who would '
in one case have given 1,0001.
to get rid of '
a single witness." But all thieves
and knaves cannot be expected to be prudent ally
more than all honest men ; and hence, though
it is no doubt esrovagtiennneriasll
true that large fortunes have been
made and are securely possessed by several
thieves, who will no doubt be the founders of
distinguished families in this country, yet it
should be borne in mind by those who might be
seduced by the picture iii the Police Report,
that these individuals have carried with them
into their vocation an ability and prudence which
would have produced a.s much in other pursuits ;
and that, while they have risen to splendour
and respectability (to borrow a term from Mr.
Alderman Brown), they must have seen num-
bers fall every day from want of the qualities
which led to their success. When once,
however, a man has saved a smart sum, he may
proceed in the career of villainy with nearly
as much security as sublunary affairs will admit

of, by the simple expedient of giving, in
eases of detection, a stronger interest to those
from whom he might be in danger to he
passive than to be active. This is an advantage
which, as far as we know, the law of no other
country gives to thieves in ally thing like an .
Equal degreo ; for which, no doubt, they ou&a,
in gratitude, to speak well of it. In a country,
for instance, in which there is a public prosecu-
tor, he durst not abandon a prosecution once
commenced, without satisfactorily accounting for
his conduct ; no man, not lost to prudence,
would hazard his professional reputation by re-
(Tit nig money for not doing his duty. We
have never even heard it surmised, that the Lord
Advocate of Scotland could be influenced by a
stun of money to prosecute, or refrain from pro-
secuting a criminal. Of this advantage the rich
thieves in England will never, in all probability,
be deprived ; because other rich men arc equally
interested with themselves in the continuance of
what constitutes one of the chief prerogatives of
wealth in this happy country. How often, of
late years, have we seen men of family and in-
fluence walk out of Court for the want of a pro-
secutor, to the astonishment Of the worthy
Judges ; who, in the great simplicity of their
hearts, and innocence of the ways of the world,
were altogether at a loss to account for pheno-
mena perfectly intelligible to all around them
To illustrate what we have said, as to the com-
mand which money possesses over our Courts,
we may take the case of the .alleged Proprietor
of the celebrated " Fishmongers' Hall, charged
with keeping public gaming tables, t eported
under the head Middlesex Sessions, in the
Chronicle of Yesterday :
" The prosecutor, William Austen, was called in
the usual way, by the officer of the Court, but he
did not appear.
6' Mr. ALLEY, who was Counsel for the accused
—Your witnesses are spirits ; they will not appear.
" Mr. PHILLIPS (for the prosecution)-1 cannot
say whether they are spirits or no; but I can take
upon me to state that the prosecutor was with me
here a few minutes ago, looking as much like flesh
and blood us any man I ever saw. It may be,
however, that they have been spirited away.' As
I have ne) evidence, of course I cannot go on."

A verdict of acquittal was the necessary con-
sequence. We cannot say that we are sorry for
the result, because it seems exceedingly absurd
(except with a view to give an additional advan-
tage to great capitalists, like Mr. Crockford, by
securing them from the competition of indivi-
duals unable to purchase impunity), where a great
National Gambling-house (the Stock Exchange)
is countenanced, and where 99 roads to ruin
are constantly open to all who choose to enter
them, that a cant should be kept up about the
hundredth. What do our race courses, our bets
on figkts, runnings, walkings, and all conceiv-
able subjects, differ from the transactions in
gambling houses ? However, we are not now
inquiring into the reason of the law, but show-
ing the facility with which the law can be set at
defiance, when that universally esteemed agent
—money, is sufficiently at command. Foote,
in his Knights, makes one of the characters
say, " Is it not, Dick, a little unaccount-
able that we; who . condescend so ser-
vilely to copy the follies and fopperies of our po-
lite neighbours, should be so totally averse to an
imitation of their virtues ? In France, has he
wealth ? is an interrogation never put till they
are disappointed in their inquiries after the birth
and wisdom of a fashionable fellow ; but here,
!tow much a year ? Two thousand—the devil !
In what county ? Berkshire.—lndeed God
bless us a happy dog." The reason is obvious.
—ln a country where money can do every thing,
every thing must yield to the regard for money.
—ln all countries it is powerful, but in some
countries it has rivals. Here there are no rivals
near the throne. It purchases political power,
it purchases the altar, it renders the law a dead
letter, and crowns successful knavery with im-
punity. It would not, however, be fair to infer,
because money is all-powerful in England, that
poverty is in much greater danger than elsewhere.
—Money secures impunity, by removing the
motive to act hostilely. Brit the mass of man-
kind are also secure, from -ale absence of a
motive to act hostilely towards them. Hence,
too, poor criminals often escape, from the
absence of a motive in the prosecutor sufficiently
powerful to balance the sympathy for the of-
fender, or from the love of laziness, or from the
loss of time which might be profitably employed.
A good undeistandina on the various subjects
to which we have alluded, is of more importance
thall May at first he supposed. Sonic of our
contemporaries are labouriNg to depreciate pe-
cuniary credit, as the source of every conceivable
evil to society. The time is fast approaching,
we suppose, when no man will receive credit fur
doing good, but because he found it a better
speculation than to du evil.—Mornino- Herald.
It appears to us extraordinary that the Par-
liamentary Committee on the State of Crime do
not advert in their Report to the destitute con-
when they are discharged.
dition of criminals
That such destitution must be a main cause of
a continuance in crime is most easily
"demon-
strated. Every prisoner, when his term of im-
prisonment is ended, is allowed (m.e gto
begin the world with. This shinn-, may fur-
Dish him with one night's lodging at sixpence—
"a pint of porter, and three rolls, fbr the other
:sixpence ; and before another night's lodging is
necessary, or more bread and beer are required,
the discharged convict is expected to be able to
provide for himself. That he cannot do so in
D 9 cases out of every 100, must be apparent to
all. What then is he to do ? Leaving out of
consideration altogether the practices he must
have been made acquainted with in prison, and
supposing his habits to be the most honest and
his intentions the most honourable, how is he
to procure subsistence in 24. hours ? There is
an overplus of labourers, eager to be employed,
in
almost all trades, and these often remain
long unemployed, though honest how then
can a discharged prisoner, with the brand of
his sentence on his brow, expect to be em-
ployed sooner than they p It is clear
that he cannot, and the almost invariable
consequence that neces is, y drives him to
do that, at least, which was at first occasioned,
by a love of idleness, or by bad com •
pany, To
expect that a convicted and punished felon,
or
misdemeanant, will starve, when lie haki no longer
the possession of an untainted replication to for-
tify him in honesty, is to,,expect that which is
both socially and morally miraculousi It would
be as easy to aspect that those wretched beings
who have lost the lovesof virtue and the pride of
chastity, and who. wander along the streets, could
be restored at once, not only to the paths of pu-
rity, but to the good opinion and companion-
ship of the pure. As prostitutes are doomed
to an eternal exclusion from the virtuous of their
own sex, so convicts are driven for a time from
the society of honest men : hence it is necessary
that some steps should be adopted, if not to save
the offender, at all events to reserve society

from the consequences of his destitution. This
evil was felt so long ago as the period of Charles
11., in an Act of whose reign, chap. of the
19th year, we find these words
" Whereas there is not yet any provision made
for the relief and setting on work of poor and needy
prisoners committed to the common gaol for felony
and other misdemeanours, who ninny times perish
before their trial ; for remedy whereof, be it enacted
that the Justices of the Peace of the respective
counties at any of their General Sessions, or the
major part of them then there assembled, if they
shall find it needful so to do, may provide a stock
of such materials as they find convenient for the
settinc, poor prisoners on work, in such manner and
by such ways as other county charges 1,,y the laws
and statutes of the realm are and may be levied
and raised."
Now, although it may be contended that this
Act only contemplates the employment of pri-
soners while in prison, it is clear that it was
meant for the benefit of such prisoners " who
many times perish before their trial ;" and it'
the same principle were to be followed through-
out, it ought to be extended to those " who
many times perish" after their discharge ; yet
up to this day no better provision has been
made for those who might become honest if
they had the means than to supply them
with a shilling. No wonder, indeed, that
robbery proceeds apace, when " honesty, as
Pierre says, is made by law such " a damned
starving quality ;" when no asylum, no insti-
tution, no possible mode of subsistence, is
open to those who, having received their quan-
tum of punishment, are expected to " go and
sin no more." It is in this direction that legis-
lators and pamphlet writers should turn their at-
tention, if they wish to stop the career of crime,
and not flounder about upon the single subject
of " Prison Discipline.' If they will give
themselves the trouble of inquiring, they will
find that it is generally expected, and openly said
by the officials in criminal prisons, upon dis-
charging a young offender, " Oh, we shall soon
see you again !" and the prediction is rarely un-
accomplished. Let this matter be seriously at-
tended to—let discharged prisoners for first
(/fences have some means to save them from the
necessity of second offences, and be induced to
" turn from their wickedness, and live"—and
we will answer for it more will be done to arrest
the progress of crime than has yet been effected.
An excellent Society for this purpose is already
in existence, under the name of " The Sheriffs
Fund," but its efforts must hitherto have been
limited by its means.—Morning Herald.
On the Designs of Russia, by Colonel De
Lacy Evans, is one of the most creditable, as
well as moderately-priced publications, which
has issued from .Murray's for a long time, and
does equal honour to the judgment of the Pub-
lisher, and the talents of the Author. The
latter has, in fact, handled the important sub-
ject on which he has chosen to expatiate with
signal ability. The work also possesses the
rare merit of being not only well, but eloquently
written. It is a spirited sketch of the designs
of Russia—of her power to overthrow the
Turkish Empire—of the interest and views of
the great European States in the pending con-
flict—of the changes which the overthrow of
the Turkish empire would necessarily introduce
into the European system—and of the dangers
which civilized Europe would incur by the
success of the Northern barbarian's arms.—
The whole of these points are illustrated by
a force of argument, and an abundance of
historical reference, which prove both the
author's acquaintance with the subject, and
his power of applying his information use-
fully and instructively. From some of his
conclusions we dissent in Coto, as will be
seen in the progress of our notice ; to
others we give our most cordial assent.—
Of the ambitious designs of Russia, Colonel
Evans entertains exactly the same ideas
which it has been our studious endeavour to
impress upon the English public during the last.
six months. This policy had its origin with
Catherine, and to say the least of it, there has
been no departure from it since her death. At
all times there have been abundant professions
of the love of peace and moderation ; and at all
times, under cover of such professions, there
has not only lurked a well-concerted design to
follow the dictates of ambition ; but, generally
speaking, the ambitious project has beets carried
into effect at the very moment when credulous
Europe vainly imagined that Russia only intended
peace. In one of the last declaratory Acts publish-
ed by the Russian Cabinet previous to the
dismemberment of Poland, her Imperial Ma-
jesty said,—" Filled with these sentiments,
it ms with regret the Empress sees his
Polish Majesty follow different maxims with
regard to her, and make no return to her
friendly proceedings, but by proceedings directly
opposite, &c. &c. The secret treaty between
Napoleon and Alexander for the seizure of Mol-
davia and Wallachia, is well known, and if we
refer to the last manifesto of Nicholas, in which
he declares that he has " enough of provinces
and people," we shall find the same amicable and
friendly professions coupled with the most hostile
designs. " The Emperor sees with gricf," says
it, " that the Porte, instead of*duly appreciating
this truly friendly policy," &c. was the language
of Nicholas within the last four months ; and
now his armies, to the amount of hundreds of
thousands, are on their way to Constantinople,
for the purpose of dismembering the Ottoman
Empire. Such is Russian policy,•on which it
would be useless to expend another word. In
every thing that Col. Evans has advanced re-
specting it we completely agree ; but against the
conclusions drawn by him on another point—we
mean the power of Russia, on the one hand, to
effect the conquest of Turkey, and the inability
° other, to offer

time convinceClthatilll'eeltl;er the campaign may,
or may not, terminate as he has predicted, the
Russians may have much less chalice of effect-
ing their objects during the
present year than
either he or they anticipated. Time European
system newly introduced, as it has been, into the
Turkish army, appears to have benefittcd, not
injured it—the bravery for which time Crescent
was once renowned, appears to have revived with
additional lustre ; the Sultan has more than vin-
dicated his title, as the descendant of the Pro-
phet, to the warlike virtues for which he,
and many of his successors, were. distin-
guished ; and instead of the splendour of the
Crescent having been fur ever eclipsed, we think

here is every appearance, barring some extraor-
dinary occurrence, of its again bursting forth with
a milder, but more permanent, effulgence. To
return, however, to Colonel Evans's book—Our
author considers that " front the fortresses of the
Danube, as a secure basis, or even from the left
bank, the Russians might go on, after the col-
lecting of means, and when occasion serves, to
the goal of the enterprise ; occupying about as
many days in doing so as would convey the in-
telligence to Paris or London." This they have
not yet done, nor do we think are very likely to
do, within the speciied time ; but as we differ so
decidedly from the views entertained by the Co-
lonel on this subject, it is but fair that he should
be allowed to speak fcr himself.
" The Remus, or Balkan, is of no great elevation,
The roads over it are few and indifferent. There
are however two or three of them, which, according
to travellers, are practicable, with very little repara-
tion, for twenty-four pounders or any other carriages.
The position of Shurnla, on the direct road to the
capital, has been designated as the Thermopyhe of
the Tullis. no title has been rather gratuitously
conferred. It is represented to be a strong position,
and has never been captured;--neither, however, has
it ever been seriously attacked. It is a town in the
hills, surrounded by a mud wall, of no great thick-
ness, and with scarcely any flanks ; this, during
several late wars, has been made the nucleus of an
entrenched camp, for which, it appears, it is well
adapted. In the case of protracted operations in
the kills during summer, 1 have understood that one
of the chief inconveniences to be contended against
would be the insufficiency and badness of the
water; but in the accounts of the campaigns I have
met with, I do not see the circumstance mentioned.
If the Russians were not in possession of the sea,
if a series of well connected entrenchments were
thrown up along those hills, under the inspection of
capable officers, if the Sultan had a sufficiency of
cannon, a military chest, an hospital, and one hundred
and:fifty thousand disposable troops* with which to
line these entrenchments, of then there might be
hope entertained of his sustaining himself upon them
But none of hose suppositions coincide with the
fact.—Morning Vvertiser.

The rumour is daily acquiring new converts,
who believe that the Duke of Welling,ton will
submit the complaints of the Country Bankers
of England, and their constituents, to a Com-
mittee of Parliament, on an early day of the
next Session, and will thus render the same
even-handed justice to them which a former Ad-
ministration were compelled to render to the
Bankers and Merchants of Scotland. The re-
lief which it is supposed the Noble Duke will
grant to the suffering shipowners will be the re-
peal of the law which admits Baltic produce
into this country on bond. If this should be
the case, a valuable boon will he taken from the
Russian and Prussian speculators, and given to
Canada. The length of the voyage will increase
the demand for shipping, and this shipping will
he exclusively British.—New Times.

" If the Sultan has one hundred thousand men at pre-
sent under arms (not counting the rabble that might be
assembled for a particular occasion), then one-third will
scarcely suffice for the principal garrisons, at least another
third will be required for reserves, for Constantinople, and
the sea-shores ; and there would not remain above thirty
thousand for the field."

ENGLISH, IRISH, and SCOTCH MARKETS,

(From the London New Price Current of Tuesday.)
SUGAR—The 44emand for Museovades was limit-
ed lost week, owing chiefly to the want of good
sugars for relining, 60s. a 613. ; the sales were esti-
mated rather under 3,000 hhds.; there was no alter-

ation whatever in the prices. There is no marked
alteration this week in the stock of Sugars, compared
with the corresponding one of last year. The de-
liveries are 3,818 hhds. and tierces, being 756 more
than the corresponding week in 1827, and about
2,000 bags more of Mauritius Sugars. At the close
of the market the estimated sales to-day are 800
hhds., including the 130 hhas. Barbadoes„ at public
sales ; the prices are unvaried. In the Refined
Market last week the demand for low goods for ex-

port was so general and so extensive, that the prices
advanced ; and the market is again cleared of goods.
In the fine descriptions there is no alteration, either
in the supply or in the prices; they go off freely.
Molasses are firm at a small improvement. This
afternoon there was not the slightest alteration in
the Refilled Market; low goods still much inquired
after. . .

EAST INDIA SUGARS-There was no alteration
last week ; good Mauritius were inquired after for
export ; white Bengals were also in demand.
FOREIGN SUGARS-Last week 62 chests white,
and 15 chests brown Pernams, were offered at public
sale; the whole was withdrawn ; since which the
whites have sold 345. a 3Ss. ; the brown 265. a 285.;
some good white Pernams Nv .2 re sold at 395. At
public sale 173 hhds 10 tierces 283 barrels Porto
Rico Sugars were all taken in; yellow to strong gray
295. a 345. ; brown 265. a 28s.
\\TE,sT INDIA MOLASSES-The stock here i 53,467
casks, prices unvaried.
COFFEE-The public sales last week were more
extensive than usual : all the colour), Jamaica fully
supported the late prices; good middling 735. a 745.
6d. ; all the ordinary parcels sold lower, and were
very heavy. Dominica Coffee is again Is. a 2s.
lower. In Foreip there has been little or no busi-
ness ; good ordinary pale St. Domingo withdrawn
from sale at 31s. There was only a public sale
brought forward this forenoon. 198 casks Jamaica,
and a few lots Berbicc, the former good middling of
a favourite mark, sold at 755. a 755. 6d.; ord. mid.
at 60s. ; mid. 665. ; fine and fine ord. at 455. and
51s. 6d. Generally, the Coffee Market is firm.
TEA-The sale of Congou finished yesterday ;
the low qwalities are id. to higher than last sale,
the fine on an average rather lower. This day Cam-
pois sold at 2s. 11 id. a 3s. 2d. ; Souchongs,
lid. a 4s. 6did.; Twankays are now selling at 2s.
2d. a 2s. 2 id. common ; 2s. 3d. a 2s. 6d. middling ;
2s. 7d. a 3s. 3d. fine.

Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND~—The transac-
tions in Rum last week were not extensive ; they
consisted of a few fine Jamaica, 4s. a 4s. 4d., and
about 170 Leewards, 2 over, at 2s. 2d. Brandy is
held at former prices.—Geneva is very scarce, and
in consequence the prices are nominal.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW—The prices of Tal-
low have been more firm, with some appearance of
an advance.—Flax is unvaried.—Hemp a shade
higher.—lt is reported about 600 casks Tallow have,
been bought for France, as Tallow can be purchased
here cheaper than at St. Pctersburgh.—The Market
is higher to night, and very .firm.—The dates from
St. Petersburgh are to the 2:3d ult.—Exchange 10d.
11-16ths. Tallow 105 a 106, and about 92,000
casks shipped off.
WOOL—The late considerable arrivals of Foreign
wool have had little or no effect on the prices, as the
previous stock was very light. Inferior descriptions
are most in demand, and sell at a trifling advance on
the price of two months since, while the finer sorts,
from the increase in the growth of such Wools, are
becomieg dull of sale ; on the whole, the demand is
steady, and from all appearance, likely to continue
so. This day's public sale went at high prices :
Australian ex Elizabeth, 266 bales sold at an average
of 111 d. ; Spanish, washed after the manner of Ger-
man (a novelty), sold at an average of Is. Bd. per
