These duties absorb no kW than 1,200 men, besefseg actually no mare than 5,800 to guard an area of Too unary miles, sad preload a population of nearly three sad a half millions of people. ratio of force to area in the City police one man to 12-10 sores, in the Metro politan polies one 11111111 to 72 acres. In the City police awe ia coo man to 184 paswy and in the Metropolitan sae to nearly 600. In short, tae City police has to pro test 112,063 peruse and the metropolitan force 3,410,654. The whole area of the Metronolitan Polio* district is a We over 700 square miles, which is divided into 21 divi des., including the Thames—a water division—each ley saperiatendent. Bach division Is divided re m ent- 1 6ivisions, and these again into sections, which are spin subdivided into beats. Every division is in direct comemaniestion by telegraph with the great central came at EtedlandLard, which is also euneded in the same that litioW L roi l if Wile in th e •40/IM l4l ja . metropolis could 'be alarmed end their reserves moved on any given point. In addition to this ford, there has of late years grown up • special detective form of one chief inspector, three inspectors, and fifteen sergeants, who are all stationed at the chief office, S c otland -yard, and receive their instructions direct fr om Sir Richard Keyes. The number of men employed on police duty Koper—that is, in watching and patrolling the streets—is divided as follows:—Two-thirds, or in round numbers, about 4,000 men, by night, and one-third, or about 2,000 men by day. The night duty men have always eight hours—than is, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and they have this foe eight months of the year, and then four mouths of day duty, and every man in the force takes his turn of night and day duty—the former of course, as requiring double the number of men, h aring to be performed for a double space of time. The day duty is from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and is divided into reliefs thus :—The first relief comes on from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. ; the wend relief from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ; the first relief again from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. and the second from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Thus there are more policemen on duty between 7 and 10 in the even iltt_hr. at any other time of the day. On Sundays a an's duties are absolutely doubled, for on that day ri n ua7s are often empty and people see out for the evening. To enter the police ea • constable a man must be in perfect health, under 3.1 years of age, and if married must not h ave more than two children. He must read, write, and cipher well, and his wife must carry on no trade or business of any kind. The Tines insists that not only ought the force to be increased, but the pay should be such as to induce good men to enter, and, above all, when entered, to re- MUD in the service.

Yesterday afternoon e special meeting, convened by the Bishop of London, WAS held at the house of the Metropolitan Visiting and Relief Aasociation, Regent. street, to consider the desirableness of that association thoroughly co-operating with the *antral executive for relief in the East of London. The BISHOP presided, and was supported by the Earl of Harrowby, Lord Ebnry, the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, M.P. ' • General Waco*. ; Mr. T. Talon, J.P. • the Rev. J. T. Itowsell, rector of St. Mar garet's, Lothliury ; lON Rev. Prebendary Burgess, B.D. ; rector of tipper Chelsea ; the Itev. W. F. Erskine Knotty', i n cumbent of Trinity Chun*, Twickenham ; Mr. John Hasaard; the Rev. J. V. Povah, rector of St. Anne's, Aldersgate ; Mr. Philip Camper* ; Mr. Henry Kingscote ; Mr. George Schilling ; the Rev. W. J. Crichton ; Mr. Edward Thornton, U.B. ; Mr. G. K. Rickards ; the Rev. Henry Howarth, 13.1)., rector of St. George's, Hanover. square ; and other gentlemen. After some co nversation, General GASI:011111 moved the following resolution • " That the Metropolitan Visiting and Relief Association sees with satisfaction the proposed formation of a central executive for relief of distress at the east end of London, to enable all societies having in view a common object to work in harmony with each other, and requests the hono rary secretary (the Rev. J. T. Howson) to represent the association at the meetings of the executive." The Earl of Hsatuidnv seconded the resolution, and it was unanimously adopted. Mr. JOHN HAtIMAIIID said he understood MT. Corbett's plan to be that the central executive would simply opt in each eastend parish or union (where they fi nd I t) the existinglaseal machinery through which to distribute incase of exceptional distress. For instance, in Bethnal-green an " Employment and Relief Association " had been formed for the whole pariah and union, with a central committee and twelve sub committees for recommendation, reference, and the investigation of applications. Here was a whole system well organised, and ready for the central executive to work through. bloat of the other parishes and unions had also a system of their own at work. The grand object of the central executive, as he understood it, would be to prevent one association fromover lapping another. The Bishop of LONDON would suggest that the almoner' of the association—the local clergyman—should in all cases be a member of the eommittee. Some matters of detail were arranged, and a vote of thanks to the right roe. chairman closed the business of the meeting. THE REFORM LEAGUE. Last night the ordinary council meeting of the Reform League was held at the offices, Adelplai-terraos, lir. EDISON!. BEALE.. in the chair. The following letter' was read :—" 4, Whitehall-place, Jan. t 2, 1868.--Sir,—l ' have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the I 20th inst., stating that the council of the Reform League! have been informed that on several 000asione lately ,1 officers of the police have interfered, by threatening communications to the landlords, and in other war, to prevent branches of the Reform League from holding their usual legal and constitutional meetings at licensed houses ; and that the council bed directed you to address me on the subject. That you hail, therefore, on the part of the , council, to express their regret at the information they had received, not being aware that the meetings referred to have been of a nature to justify their being thus in terfered with. And that you had further to ask whether this interference has taken place by my authority, or by that of the government, and what are the grounds for such interference. I have to state in reply that I am as. cured that there has been no such interferenoe as supposed by any offioer of police. I have gi v e n DO instructions OD the subject, and it is hardly necessary to add that none bare been given by the government.-1 am, sir, your obedient servant, RICHARD Hats.—Edniond Reales, Es q."

THE NATIONAL BIBLE SOCIETY OF SCOTLAND.— The Duke of Argyll, in resigning the presidency of the National Bible Society of Scotland, spoke on Te l :: ja! the annual meeting at Glasgow on the society's He congratulated its members on the great advance that had been made in the acknowledgment and practice of the principles of toleration among the nations of the world ; for the society waa hindered in its work nowhere in Marveling at Rome. He observed that the society was not heartily su pported by some of the great religious denaninatiesta in this country or by those who set an excessive value on the features which dirainguisk the MACON Christian communities from each other. He did net believe that the circulation of the Scriptures would teed to unite men in one ecclesiastical body ; but he believed it to be the best antidote to the error of those who thought that a religion could he maintained In the mind and heart without some intellectual eon one as to the definitions of religious dogmas. The Bishop of Argyll also spoke, and painted out that the foreign allegiance of Irish catholic' to the Pope was a circumstance which kept England and Ireland from coalescing so completely as England and Scotland had done. It was then ap• to elect the Hon. Arthur Kinnard, M.P., as president, and Sheriff Jamaica as chairman, of the board, for 1868.

If such should be discovered, they should be carefully removed. some he av y body should be attached to them, and they should be thrown into deep water, without any attempt being made to open them. True Greek fire is simply a solid highly combustible coin• position, very similar to "carcass composition." What is now commonly called Greek lire consists of a solution of phosphorus, or of sulphur and phosphorus in a very vole. tile liquid, the bi.sulphide of carbon, to which occasionally some mineral oil is added, with the view of increasing its incendiary power. When this liquid is thrown on to any surface exposed to the air the solvent evaporates, leaving a film of the phosphorus or sulphide of phosphorus, which will then inflame spostaneously, but will not very readily set fire to wood or combustible materials. The proper mode of extinguishing the flame produced by such an incendiary agent is to throw upon the burning surface a quantity of wet or damp sand, ashes, sawdust, lime, or any other powder, or wet sacking or carpeting, any material in short by which the flame can be stilled by exclaim of air. No attempt should be made to remove the covering for some time after the flame has been extinguished. The place should afterwards be thoroughly scoured by playing upon it for some time with a powerful jet of water. Should any embittered liquid be discovered which has not become blamed, it should be washed away as above directed as similarly as possible, and if a jet of water is not immediately at head, it should in the meantime be powered in from the air by application of any of the materials named above OUTWARD MAIL OF 12TH A.ND 20TH JANUARY. — SUEZ, JAN. 29.—The Columbian left for Bombay at mid- night yesterday.
