LONDON JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS,OF THIS DAY.

[Morning Chi-onicle.]

Fifty-four Orders,of the Day and eleven Notices
of Motions stand on the Parliamentary Paper for
diScussion this day. in the House of Common';
besides Motions without notice, Petitions, Sy.
that may occur ; so that, granting only a quarter
of an hour to each aiticle, it will require between
sixteen and sevetiteen hours of deliberation to get
through the business. On Friday last, in ten
hours they discussed eighty-three different sub-
jects, of which more than one-half came on af-
ter midnight. We mention this extraordinary
pressure of business as the fatal consequence of
leaving every thing to the end of the Session,
particularly the business of the Supply and Ways
and Means. It is manifest that 'in this mode of
legislation, Bills of the utmost consequence may
be passed through the House without undergoing
that nice examination which every Act that is t 4
affect the interests of the subject ought to re-
ceive. And we trust it will be a motive not
merely for an earlier assembling of Parliament,
and for bringing on the financial business oh the
Session at its commencement, but also that a
check will be given to the prevailing rage of legis-
lating on little things.

AMERICAN ENGRAVERS COMING TO LONDON.
(From a Philadelphia Paper of May 26.)

" It is stated in the Papers that Messrs. Perkins
and Topper), of Newboryport, Massachusets,
lately passed through New London, Connecticut,
on their way to London. Mr .Fairman, Engra-
ver, of Philadelphia, goes out wiih these Gentle-
men. They are to be employed in engraving for
the Bank of England. From the specimens of
their abilities which have been exhibited in Lon-
don, Mr. Begot, it is stated, has advanced them
50001. sterling, and if they succeed in their htisi-
ne,l;they are to receive -in addition 100,0001.
We recommend this little article to the notice of
the European Reviewers, whose chief delight is
in under-rating the genies and abilities of
_their
transatlantic acquaintance."
IVe give very little credit to this article, and in
doing so, we hope we shall not be suspected of
" under-rating the genius of our transatlantic
acquaintance." In truth, it is not that American
talent is depreciated in Europe below its level, but
thacit is raised immeasurably ibove its level, by
America herself. A writer in the National Intern-
gencer of the 24th ult. which is now lying before
us, expresses this tact in a plain and unanswerable
manner :—" Most of our critics, and indeed ---
writers of all characters, have but one degree of
comparison ; every thing is in the superlative; our
brave men are all heroes; our men of sense are
all sages; our good men are all patriots. We
never quality, because we never discriminate." A
people thus eternally upon stilts must be expected
to fret when they see the rest of the world laugh-
ing at. their awkward self-elevation.

The rumours of a serious distubance at Liver.
pool have greatly exagg-rated the facts. 'Some
persons having been on IVednesday apprehended
for felony by the Dock Officers, and put into the
Bridewell, a considerable mob collected for the
purpose of liberating the prisoners. They-broke
down the doors of the Bridewell, and in the
affray several of the Dock Coi,stahles were se-
riously hurt. Seventeen of the rioters -were se-
cured, and the necessary informations having been
taken against them, they were on Thursday com-
mitted by the Mayor to take their trial for the
offence.—(/bid.)

[Morning Herald.]

FORTUNATE PURCHASE.—Mr. Tucker,
,Secre-
tary to Earl St. Vincent, when his Lordship was
First Lord of the Admiralty, purchased. some
time ago, about three acres.of land adjoining to
his other property, in the county of Cornwall, for
the sum of five hundred pounds. It has since been
discovered that this spot contains a rich rein of
silver ore, for the produce of which Mr. Tucker
has recently been offered fifteen thousand pounds
per annum, upon his granting a lease of the wine
for 21 years.

EFFECT OF HOT WATER oN FLowEßs.—By the
following process, the lovers of flowers will b'e
enabled to prolong the enjoyment of their short-
lived beauty for a considerable period. For this
purpose, it is merely necessary to place the flowers
in scalding water, deep enough to cover about
one-third of the length of the stem ; by the time
the water has become cool, the flowers will be
found erect and fresh ; then cut off the shrivelled
end of the stems, and put them in cold water.
LETTER OF THE LAw.—A girl was tried for
stealing a pair of black silk stockings, but i 7 being
proved up,in evidence that they were odd ones, she
was acquitted.

A pugilistic contest, which terminated fatally
to one of the combatants, toi,k place early ott
Tuesday morning last, at Rotten-park, near Bir-
mingham, between two young men, named Charles
Mackay and Samuel Elides. Alter fighting nearly
40 minutes, the latter had received so much injury
that he died almost immediately afterwards.
