CANAL EXCAVATION BY THE PLOUGH IN LIEU OS MANIIAL• LAaoua. —lt is remarkable that England, which usually sets the example to all Europe in the application of machinery as a substitute for manual la blur, should have been anticipated by the small state of Wortemberg. An extensive line of canal having been projected and sanctioned by the Government, an eminent engineer constructed a set of ploughs, of va rious forms, to snit the nature of the soil to be inter sected, which, by the aid of from eight to twelve horses, excavated the line of canal at less than a fourth of the price which would have been expended in ma nual labour. It is yet more worthy of notice, that there could be no want of hands, as this small kingdom pos sesses a greater population, in proportion to its extent, than any district io Europe. -Tug CAtiLA.—This word, which often OCeurs in Resent trinels, signifies ‘• a small caravan."

CHELTZNHAM, 0CT.31....-DIPLORASLE A melancholy instance of the evils arising from boys being allowed to amuse themselves with guns occurred on Tuesday morning in this town.. A boy, 14 years of age, named Luke Heywood, residing atNo.2, Mont pellier Retreat, had been in the habit of shooting at sparrows and other small birds, in the trees be hind the house, although he had been repeatedly wat ned by the neighbours of the danger of the practice. Oo the morning we have mentioned be was amusing, himself with his accustomed sport in the yard, in com pany with two other boys, when the gun being cocked in read.nesi to be fired, he turned round to speak to his sister who was looking at him through a window, and by the trigger coming in contact with some part of his clothes, the gun exploded, and nearly the whole contents wete lodged in the upper part of the right side of his sister's face; as at the moment the accident hippened she could not have been four yards from the muzzle. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL Yesterday a Conn was held for the dispatch cf bu. CITY POLICE. After some Petitions had been presented against the proposed City Police Bill. from the Wards of Alders. gate and Dowgate, and one from a Mr. Knight, pray. ing that a machine which he had constructed forth purpose of ascertaining whether the watchmen attended to their duty, Alderman VIVAELIII rose to move to bring its his Bill, founded upon the Resolutions which were stated in this Paper upon a former occasion, for an improved system of Police. He regtetted the recessi y which existed for further discussion upon this question,in favour pd which these had been such a large majniity in the Committee; but he bad reason to believe that a stro,•g opposition was meditated to the principle of :he Bill, the operation of which was intended to be general and not partial. A great deal had been said about the eapence 'opposed to be incurred by the' new system, but be begged leave to state, that if the original proposition ~f sid. an hour had been adopted, as pay to the watch. Than, the present expense would receive no augmenta tion. It had been admitted, that in 1821 the state of the Watch was extremely objectionable ; and yet no one step had been taken to remedy it until the present mo. ment ; no plan had been attempted to be introduced, until he had come forward with that to which he had expected the heatty concurrence of the Corporation. — That plan had been hailed by the Court on two several occasions; at length an opposition h4tl arisen at the eleventh hour—that opposition, he knew; was the result b 1 the jealousy of the local authorities, at the idea of losing their patronage. He concluded by moving for leave to bring in the Bill. Mr. FIGGINS rose to move an Amendment, that the I Court should adhere to the old plan. He thought that the utmost deliberation should be given to a mca-nre _which was likely to entail a vast expence upon the City of London. The benefit to be derived horn the project ought at least to be commensurate with the additional charge; but he did not see in what the advantage could consist ; and as for the expence, it would amount to at least 50 per cent. In his Ward there were thirty beats, which were supplied by thirty different well regulated watchmen. Now, by the uew principle, this number must be reduced:to sixteen, so that there must be either a lavish expense now, or the Ward would. not be so well protected in future. It was odd, that of the bur glaries which had been lately committed, the W.tds in which the patrolling system took place had the credit. Looking at the crestion with an impartial eye, he could not but consider that the old system was the lessobjcc. tionable of the two. He did not deny that it had its imperfections, but they were trifling in compalison with the palpable defects "of that which had been pro. posed. He Sir PETER LAURIE rose to second the Amendment. objected to the patsoling and removing system al. ccateether, and argued that the proposed plan cart an talMillitessary suspicion upon the persons employed for the voilsrity of the public, and would naturally beget a starresponding laxity of vigilance—(Hear, hear). As to the project of having the watchmen two burr on and one off, he thought that was calculated to kill the watchmen. No medical man would advise that a man should watch two hours in the cold, thes go back into the heat for an hour, and afterwards rash into the other extreme again. If a man were to be kept locked op in a watchfiouse until his period of duty came round, there would be too great a sanditude to Military law in the arrangement, to be tolerated is London; and if they were to go and accommodate theidselees for the resting hour, they would naturally resort to idle dissipation—(Hear, hear.) As is the argument that the watchmen would be prevented, by the new system, from becoming acquainted with the *omen of the town, he believed that to be exceedingly fallacious. They would, in fact, become acquaisnd with a greater variety than ever. At present their ile• quaintance in that way was limited to the femater m their particular beat, and of course the temptation to err was not so great as it would be 'if they had to take their stations in different parts of the City, and see the multitudes of girls with whom this populous part of the Metropolis abounded. Mr. TAYLOR condemned the conduct of the City Magistrates, in uniformly granting licenses to fine houses, although the Common Council of th e Wards did all they could to prevent licenses from being gives, in the event of bad conduct. Alderman WAITIMAN was decidedly opposed to the Bill. He perfectly concerred in the opinioe, that the plan just proposed fell infinitely short d what was is. tended. He declared that the watchmen, instead liking the desperate and profliga. e characters which it had beta the fashion to mpresent them, generally behaved U. He recollected m tny instances of unexceptionable cos• duct upon the part of the watchmen ;and one case w as strong in his memory, of a great risk of life , w ith the new of preventing burglary. It had been asse rted coo and over again,that Fleet.street was in such a stat e as tont& it dangerous for persons to walk there at any hour; and yet, upon inquiry, he found that there was no found: lion whatever for any report to the prej udice of the neighbourhood. As to the reported increase of crimes it would be seen by the Report of the Emigratina CoMmittee, that in proportion to the increase of P°' Testy was the increase of crime. Ir was now the practice to talk of burglaries; a little while ago it was the fashion to talk of street robberies. The City was ,abused for not taking sufficient cam of w arehornes, which were left filled with large pro oiiry, and wisho t any protection, except that of a person aho has his attention equally occupied with every other home. Sow. it was ridiculi•us to expect that a watchman shoal° supply the place of a clerk or a p r incipal. It was 11 °' toriout that thieves were in the habit of watching P er ' sons out of warehouses and shops, and counting-hou g h which they soon afterwards took opportunities of enter• hag and plundering. For the fourteen or fifteen jells that he was a Magistrate, he had, in no one instaace, been witness to a case in which a watchman els proved to connive at a robbery ;,and, although he keFt, late hours, he never caught a watchman in his I%.'s° asleep--(A laugh). He believed that watchmen me sometimes take money ; and be believed them lo b) 11 tified in doing so in some instances , when they sag° ill-treatment, or took a great deal it was, that, whenever a watchman in contact with a Gentleman, the ' Worst. The worthy Alderman conduct of the nightly watch, and daring that he considered the new of beneficial. Mr. Rouyn contended arena, in favour could deny that burglaries had been comp-' extent, and he thought that at all events be much better then that tibia had been very little avail.
