LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL Z 2. APART from the appeal to authority, the only argument urged by Sir Gnome Gm in support of the Bill for amslgarnang the City police with the Metropolitan police is the limited area of the City, and, therefore, of the municipal jurisdiction com pared with that of other cities and corporations. The Right Hon. Gentleman pointed out, what is no doubt perfectly true, that the Municipal Re form Act, while enlarging the municipal authority in other cities and boroughs of the kingdom, which had outgrown their ancient limits, and thus including the new districts with the old under one local government, had left the ancient boun daries and the local government of the City of London untouched. This exceptional position of the City in relation to the adjacent and outlying districts of the metropolis is, no doubt, true as • fact, though, as Alderman fironsr reminded the House last night, the OM of the City was in this respect hardly quite so unique as the advocates of amalgamation represent it to be. The City of Manchester, for example, partially surrounds the borough of Salford, the dividing line running through • densely populated district, yet each has its own police force, under the control of • separate local government, and the plan of a divided authority over a force locally continuous works without confusion or complaint of any kind. The city of Manchester bas never attempted, in vir tue of its larger area, to usurp authority over the adjacent borough, and any each attempt would, it may be safely assumed, be promptly and effectually resisted. But even allowing the exceptional character of the City in this respect to the fullest extent, it is difficult to see how the fact of a limited central area can be used as an argument in favour of the proposed amalgamation. At first sight, indeed, it would probably appear in the eyes of most un biassed judges to tell the other way. If through out the enormous extent of the metropolis the system of local self-government in the matter of police is represented in the limited area of the City alone, this would seem to be a powerful argu ment in favour of maintaining it in full vigour and efficiency. But how the oomparative imialluessof area to which a system admirable both in itself and in its results happens to be restricted, should be arra as a reason for its destruction, we do not understand. Had Sir Grozos Gm attempted to show that the system was necessarily inefficient, that it failed to provide the security for life and property for which it was established, or was in compatible with the full enjoyment of this security in the adjacent districts, his resecning would have been intelligible. But be brought's° charge of general inefficiencyagainst the City Police. On the contrary, the Hone Sacarrzar's historical review of the legislation and inquiries of the last thirty years told rather in favour of the efficiency of the City Police. When Sir R. Pm brought in his measure in 1829, the City of London was excepted from its provisions expressly because its system of local defence was so greatly superior in efficiency to that prevailing in the adjacent City of Westminster. The system in both at the time was that of the old watch. Under the new system, however, the Metro politest force soon became emporia to the old City watch, and on this ground, ten years later, Lord JOHN Ruseat.c proposed to extend the new system to the City. The City, however, success fully resisted the proposal, and at the same time wisely reformed its system of defence by substitut ing a highlyefficient police force for the old watch. That system has worked so well that for upwards of twenty yearn, until last night indeed, no attempt at amalgamation has been subsequently made. Now if • system of government ad mitted on all hands to be admirable in itself, and proved by a quarter of a century's experience to be efficient in practior, is to be sud denly assailed, and if possible destroyed, there ought at least to be some strong reasons for suck a summary proceeding. We fail to discover any such reasons in Sir Growls Garr's statement. The plea of economy recently urged in some quo& ten he very justly dismissed in a sentence as not only trivial bat irrelevant. The coat of the City police is the affair of the citizens, and if they do not complain, if, on the contrary, they are pa fectly s►tisfied, it is idle for others to urge that there is any grievance on this rode. After all, the only ground for the istroductite of the Bill to be gathered from Sir GlOlOll Gases speech, is the partial failure of the City police ar rangementa on the night of the illuminations. It is quite true that Sir Geonog verbally disclaimed being influenced by this motive, but it is, never theless, the only practical reason urged in support of the Bill the Government have introduced. We must say it appears to us as unjust as it is ungene rous that any attempt should be made to take ad vantage of the feeling which the accidents in the City naturally produced. The failure of the arrange ments made by the Metropolitan police on that night was even more conspicuous, though fortu nately not attended with any fatal result. It ought to be remembered moreover that, only a few months ago, during the garotting panic, the authorities who now rashly condemn the City police, as rashly denounced the Metropolitan force as utterly inefficient, and for all practical pur poses worthless. Temporary failure of this sort, even if it can be proved, is no valid argument whatever in favour of organic change. THE ItxpßEss, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 22, 1863.

(non ova owl' PARIS. TURIDAY Burro. The article of the Pays is reproduced by the ConstiWaiownel, and the general belief is that it was written in M. Drouyn de Lhuys' office. It undoubtedly had some effect on the Bonne, not so much, however, as the rise reported by telegraph —of iin Consols. There was great animation at the commencement of business, but the highest prices of the day were not sustained, and lieut. left off with a rise of but 15c. The anodyne argu ments of the Pays are not, therefore, thought at the Bourse to afford any security that the danger of a conflagration is over. Indeed, that journal itself, while denying that the situation points to war, does not renounce the expectation of an " honour able solution," which it professes to think the understanding between the three powers is "amply sufficient" to effect. But this is hoping against hope, because the almost universal opinion of the world is that within a few days Russia will meet the diplomatic intervention by an answer which, if not a direct I negative, will be wholly evasive and unsatisfactory. What is to be done then 1 The hopes of • settle. meat which were based for a moment upon Baron de Seetesch's departure for St. Petersburg have vanished. He has no mission such as the famous one in the time of the Crimean war, but has gone on private business connected with the approaching marriage of his daughter with Count de Moltke. The France reports as from a credible source that on the 19th the Czar held a privy council at Tsarkoe-Selo, which was attended by all the princes of the imperial family, the members of the plenum, and the ministers, and that Poland was the subject of discussion. The simultaneous pre sentation of the three notes (a fact at one time de nied, but now certain) produced a great sensation at St. Petersburg, and, I think it safe to add, gave great offence, BuUier's Correspondence says of the Pays' article: —" Although it exercised a certain influence in the financial world, there is, in fact, no material change in the situation ; there is an article the more, and that is all. How many similar articles have we known to be forgotten in 14 hours !" The Emperor reviewed the Imperial Guard this afternoon on the Longchamp race-course. He was attended by a numerous staff, among whom were remarked the military attachlis of the Russian, Prussian, Austrian, and English embassies. This is said to be the first time that they have been all seen together at a review. I have not heard that any demonstration bearing on the present state of Europe took place : there was a vague expectation of something of the kind, but probably it was un warranted. The Pays says :—" The Moniteur is silent this morning upon Anglo-American akin, and is thus much nearer the truth than when il spoke rater- day of growing agi in London.* This not* - - oonbrms my own observation, that for the list two or three days there has beeu a systematic attempt here to exaggerate the disputes between England and the United States, and to attribute to them the fall at the Bourse, which was in reality owing to the affairs of Poland. The staff of clerks to be sent out to Mexico to collect the revenue of that country is now seism bled in Paris. They are to have an interview with M. Fould to-morrow. Each man gets an outfit of 3,000 fr., and is to have 25fr. a day for extra expenses, besides double his present salary. These advantages will make the occupation highly popu lar with the employes. However, the proverb "first catch your hare " must not be forgotten. Nobody now believes that the siege of Puebla was begun on March 16. THE "STRIKE' AMONGST THE PRESTON PARISH LABOURERS. The regulations adopted by the Preston board of guardians, last week, relative to the employmimt of the able-bodied men in receipt of relief, and which were " struck" against by all those working at the new Cattle Market, came into operation on Monday. The whole of the men proceeded to the ground on which they are employed, but only about 90 oat of about 1,200 omm mooted work under the Dew regulations. The remaining 1,100 played about on the ground, and during the day formed effigies of two or three of the unpopular gnu diem. The men paraded the effigies op and down the ground, to the tone of the "Deed Much," and afterwards buried them, amid groans and affected sorrow, in the soil adjoining. The men who had bean indulging in this piece of mock sepulture subsequently left the ground, on the understanding that they should return next morning acid re peat the mine , game." and than apply for their wages in the evening ea usuaL In the meantime full particulars of their conduct had reached the ears of the guardians, who straight way caused to be pricked sod posted throughout the town a placard which nn thus:—" To the pariah labourers.—Those who do not intend to work in a proper manner are requested not to go to the ground. The mere attending upon the ground wall not entitle say to pay ; no man will be paid unless be works according to the regulations Issued by the guar dians on the 14th instant." This made more com mence work yesterday ; but still several loungd about, determined to do so work aomrding to the regulations of the guardians. In the evening the men proceeded to the workhouse for their pay. The greaten excitement pre vailed at the pay °Mow Many of the men went away without any money, other said that they oould not get any, and several were shouting outside that they had been " shamefully " bated. At the time our parcel was despatched, shortly after six, the greatest excitement pre vailed, and a serious dinurbanos was apprehended. The police and military wen held in readiness to act if required. PeanrOw, TUEZDAT, 10 P N. Shortly before 7 o'clock to-night, the wheal* of the parish labourers, numlthriog between 2,000 and 3,000, formed in procession and went to the police statioe, where they bad been informed the Mayor, the Town Clerk (who is the chairman of the board el gaerdians), and the Chairman of the Relief Gommlike, were in attendance. The mem Waisted • deputation, and an interview took place. The Mayor stated that those wbo felt themselves aggrieved wou ld have their 01•08 investigated to-morrow. This the deputation communicated to the men outside, whore they advised to preserve order and keep the pesos. Many did not receive this with favorer, sad afterwards Mr. Joseph Limey proceeded to seldreis the smemblage from one of the windows of the polies station ; a favour able impromion could not, however ' be mode upon the multitude ; and after Mr. Liveney had retired seldom symptoms of a disturbance were evident A. rush was made towards the door of the Mathis, and the crowd foe upwards of half an hour made a desperate attempt to get into the police station. This, however, was prevented, and a strong body of polio* was ordered to deer the ap proaches. Soon afterwards random stones were th rown towards the station, and in • few minutes the missile; were hurled in greater numbers. The polio* drew their trun cheons and made a "charge" %pun the crowd, which they eventually dispersed. Five of the officers were injured by the stones, some of them rather seriously. Three or four person . • were apprehended, and will be brought before the magistrates to-morrow. Crowds are in the streets eau. tigeons to the polio* station, sad further disturbances are appiebseded.

On Monday the Emperor Napoleon completed his fifty.lifth year. " The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian," says the Nord,"is occupying himself during his convalescence in an interesting work. King Leopold of Belgium has kept since his ameasiou to the throne a journal to serve as a basis to memoirs to be published after his death. Since the year 1860 the archduke has undertaken that work, sad is sow amlously employed on it." It is said that the King of Prussia continues in very bad health. and that his MMUS system is more and more eluttesred. _ . The Seek of yesterday has an article upon the Paris Exhibition of 1865, which, it reminds its readers, will soon be upon us.

A former radical writer was condemned three days ego by the Berlin crimiml tribunal to four mouths' imprisonment far defamation of Count Schwerin, Baron Zedlits, Polioncolonel Patrice, and other official persons. The offence wee committed in 1861, when Schwerin was minister, but for some cause or other the trial was repeated , y postponed. The curious feature of the ease is that. in the interval, the writer in question has so far changed his opinions as to accept employment in the official press ; so that it is considered probable that clemency will be ex tended** Mtn.
