THE CITY POLICE. It will not be uninteresting, after the numerous attacks which bays been made upon the City Magistrates, to show the result of their labours, as committing Justices, between the Session before last aed the last Session. If It appear that the number of the pri. sonars convicted bears a more fair proportion to those committed for triat than the County Magistrates can exhibit, it will be di6. l cult to come to the decision which lawyers are always dinning in our ears as the only one to which there should be an unanimous consent—namely, that all Maghtrates should be chosen from the Bar. The following is an accurate statement of the June Sessionl of 1829: Total Con. Acquit. Bilis Non committed. victed. ted. ignored pros. Mansion House and Guildhall ... 84 Sow-street .. 44 Queen-square —. 11 Ilary4a-Bonne —. 45 3lniborough4areet 105 Hatton Garden —. 47 Worship-street ... 80 lambetts•street ... 32 Thames Police ... 43 County Magistrate• 19 =MM. 508 336 99 70 From this statement it will appear that the acquittals are in the county as U per cent. upon the committals, while is the city of London they are no more than as 12 par cent. This has been for some. years the constant proportion. Last Session was, as the Man sion-house contmivals were concerned, :very remarkable one. In all the cases sent to Newgste from the justice.roont, there was but one acquittal, and that was a charge of forgery—an offence to the proof of which juries look very narrowly, and to coantertet a con viction upon which they willingly listen to any' thing like a pallia-1 tion. The unwillingness hi the city magistrates to commit where there appears to be but small chance of a conviction, has been long put in contrast by the professional men who are in the habit of attending police °Sees with the general practice of the stipendiary Magistrates of she county. The Alderman will perhaps, with one exception, say, " There is nothing in this case strong enough to convict, and Newgate will destroy this poor wretch. He will be acquitted, but his imprisonment will adapt him for a greater measure .1 iniquity." Great paint are there taken to inquire into the capability of the friends or relatives of the ac cused, and their dispoitios to render Mar service. and those efforts in favour of a poor uneducated youth are often eminently atcce.s. fel, With several other magistrates the case is very difikrent. The compassion which is daily practised at the Ma lion-house and Guildhall seems to be cast out from other plates, from which it might be allowed to operate without any injury to parties. It is an old saying, that some gentlemen in the commission, in their desire to show their activity, commit every thing that comes before them. This indiscriminate rigour is nut the vice of the city ma. gistrates.—Tires. COLLECTANEA. ~- . The Hon. H. T.

A report was tead, recommending a remission of 1,8001. on the present year's rent. on the ground of the season's having been more than usually unproductive. After some discouion the report was received and approved, with the exception of one dissentient voice. There is at present in operation in the new Act for the Government of Friendly Societies (10th .Geo. IV. cap. 56) a pro vision which is of great imptspance co them, and which beery little known. The 31st section provides that, any society established Under the authority of this Act. may pay into the cashiers of the Bank of England any sum ma less than 501. for which they will' derive the same interest that is given to the Savings' Banks, viz. 31. 16s.0ed. per cent. an/ this investment will give 10s or ils. per I cent. more as interest than will be given by any Savings' Dank, as the Savings' Banks usually deduct such an amount as may be ado- juste to defray impedes. Societies which were enrolled under the authority pf the former Act of the 59th Geo. 111. sap. 128, prior to July.lB2B, are still allowed totems at the rate of 3d. per diem per cent. or 41. 11a. 3d. per annum.

COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday the Lord Mayor held a Court of Common C.OunciL TV Lora MR. snaLros's °meas. The Lord Mayor said thst he had to inform the Court of the decease of a very valuable officer and excellent , nun—Thomas Shelton, Req. In consequence of which event vacancies had oc curred in several very important offices, amongst which were those of Clerk of the Peace for London and Southwark, Coroner for London and Southwark, Registrar of the Lord Mayor's Court, lied Clerk of the Arraigns for London and Middlesex. It was absolutely necessary that the offices of Coroner and Cleik of the Peace should be instantly filled up, for there were several bodies already upon which Inquests must be held, and, as the Sessions commenced to-morrow, the attendance of a Clerk of the Peace was also necessary. Upon former similar occasions the Lord Mayor for the time being bad appointed a person to 611 the office pre tem pers until time was given for an election ; but be had telt it to be the more respectful course to immediately call a Court, and let it decide upon the count to be pursued. Mr. Deputy Routh suggested that Mr. Newman, the City Soli chase, be appointed Coroner pro umpre. Mr. Westwood seconded the motion, and in doing so - renurked upon the necessity of some regulation respectirii the fees of this office, which fell most severely upon the parish in which St. Bar tbolomew% Hospital was situated. The motion was agreed to. Deputy Routh observed, that the office of Registrar of the Lord Mayor's Court had, he understood, formerly been attached to, and indeed formed part of the duties of the Town Clerk. It had been separated from it some years ago, and given to the late Mr. Shel- ton ; but he saw no reason why it should nut now be .ent back again, and the amount ir the fees be deducted from the salary at present paid to the Town Clerk —( Hear, hear). Mr. IL L. Jones could not see why the two offices should be separated, when it appeared that the Town Clerk Wat the proper person to perform the duties. The Town Clerk explained.—The Lord Mayor'. Court. he said, was a Court of Record, and, as such, it was neces-ary to have a register of its proceedings. The present Officers of that Court had certain vested Interests in their offices. The last appointment of Registrar was under the sanction of a Committee in the year 1801 ; and he questioned whether, if any proceedings were taken tending to withdraw the emoluments of the Officers of that Court, such proceedings would be legs,. Deputy Routh though: that the office should merge into the of f ice of TownCierk,and that a Committee should be appointed to inquire into the nature of the duties, and the amount or the fees. • . After a long desultory discuss i on, in the course of which Mr. Tickner, Sir James Shaw, Alderman Lucas, Mr. Jupp, Mc. Legg, Mr. 'Steven., and others took part, it was arranged that it should be referred to a Committee to inquire into the duties of, and the necessary qualifications fur, the several offices now vacant ; and also to inquire into the amount of the respective fees; and that the Town Clerk perform the duties of Registrar of the Lord Mayor's Court in the-mean time. Alderman Lucas presented a petition from Mr. John auk, the nephew and assistant of the late 'fbomas Shelton. Esq. praying to be appointed to succeed to the situation eat Clerk of the Peace.— The petition stated that the applicant had assisted his late uncle for many years, and trusted that he was fully competent to the duties of this important office. The Worthy Alderman, without wishing to prejudice any other applicant, could not help observing that he had in his Muds letters from the Lord Chief Justice of the Court King's llencb, and from various others of his Majesty's Judges, bearing ample testimony to the quahficationa of Mr. Clark for the office, as also of that of Clerk of the Amigos. The Lord Mayor observed that the Clerk of the Arraign, was appointed by the Coon of Aldermen, with the approbation of the Judges. • " It was thee moved that the Standing Order regulating the elec tiao of officers be suspended, and the election proceeded in. Mr. It. Taylor thought it would be more prudent to elect some person pro imps& They had already decided that the nature of the duties and the amount of fees of this office should be inquired iuu; but, it they filled the vacancy up now, they would perhaps have some difficulty in making the party appointed accede to any plan that might hereafter be suggested for the amelioration of the duties of the office. If they wanted to effect any reform in an office, the time to do so was when the dace was vacant; for, when a man was ones invested with the office, be pleaded a sort of vested interest in the office whenever any alteration was talked of. They had al ready bad several instances of this with regard to other offices. He was anlious to see some arrangements made to facilitate prosecu tions at the Old alley. Mr. Stevens thought that when an office was vacant was the very worst time to think about new regulations. Mr. Galloway was of a very different opinion, for he thought it the very best time. Mr. Boutfield thought that the appointment ought only to be made under the Mal Wndbg Order, which would only grant the office until the second Court after 8. Thomas's Day. Alderman Wood thought the question ought to be put to Mr. Clark, whether, if elected, be would hereafter submit to such re. gulations aa might be made regarding the tees, &c. Sir Peter Laurie wished to see material alterations made in the management of the office; it was quite disgusting to see the mode of paying prosecutors and witnesses ; iu the midst of a solemn trial there was frequently a squabbling about pounds,abillitigs, and pence. After some further discussion, it was agreed that the motion should stand that Mr. Clark be appointed to the office of Clerk of the Peace during the pleasure of the Omit, subject to such restric tions and regulations as the Court might hereafter think necessary to order: Tolbis aWameadenent was moved, that the election be Pr* toloPore• • The amendment was negatived, and the original motion carried, and Mr. Clark was unanimously elected. Mr. Tlckner said be had a petition to present from Mr. MAW .Glide, praying to be elected to the office of Coroner ; but, as that election wait postponed to another Court, he should not at present submit the Petition. _______ _______ suctonsamine orrice. Mr. Harmer presented the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the state of the Secondaries Office. He observed that considerable delay bad occurred in preparing the Report, is consequence of the Committee having been promised some in formation and valuable suggestions from Mr. Charles Pearson. That Gentleman had been several times applied to. but be had net furnished the inlorsuation and suggestions promised. The Committee bed therefore been compelled to make their Report without them. tic should now merely move that the Report be printed. A Uember suggested that Mr. Crowther 's last Memorial to the Covet should be printed with the Report. —Agreed to. A Report for altering the Hy- Laws was brought up and agreed to. A long conversation ensued upon the subject of the Navigation Committee having refused thriven of the City barge to one of the Companies for a pleasure party, but no motion was made on the subject.— A djou ued: The oew Bashi in the Green-park, erected at the sole expense of the Chelsea Water Works, Out e ttttt ely utadr the dim- Lon of Lord Lowther, is at length complete, and is a delightful ornament to those houses that look down upon it from the GlVER park and Piccadilly.

He :marks— "lt is borrid'that a place•of worship—a temik of the SUPILIIIII Basso—should be converted into' a penthouse for living creatures!

It consists of about 1,-IT.) cheats Madras, 600 chests ()ode, and 4,000 chests Ben gal, with a few Java, &c. About 700 chests were sod this morning, chiefly Bengal. The orders appear to be very limited, and the sale, so fir, has gone off rather heavily, at a reduction from the prices of the April sale, of from 3d. to 6tl. the lb. on the fine, and from 61 to 9d. on the ordinary qualities of Bengal indigo, and at these rates some proportion was bought in. NORTH MAIL.—At the last Rows-shire county meet ing, it was resolved to send a copy of Sir (curie Mackenzie's letters to the Convener, on the subject of the conveyance of the north mail by the Highland road, to the Post-office department in London, with an earnest request that the plan contained in it should be adopted with such modification as might seem to be necessary in practice. It was at the same time recommended that the burghs should send separate memorials. The county of Inverness has also stirred in the matter, and we think it is highly probable that the plan will be adopted. It has been sufficiently proved that communication by the Highland road is as little likely to be impeded by snow as the coast road, by which the mail is now transmitted. —lnverness Courier. HERRING Bot'S TI ES.—At the Ross-shire Comity Meeting, on Friday, a memorial was directed, on the motion of Sir G. S. Mackenzie, to be forwarded to the Treasury, praying for the continuance of the superinten dence of the fisheries for a few years after the bounties shall have been withdrawn, which they will be after the sth of April next, when the Act authorising them ex pires. Bounties were given for the purpose of induci n e our population to become fishers ; and the eagerness with which the people on the coast now follow the business, supersedes the necessity for further encouragement. It appears to be necessary, however, to continue for some time longer the regulations as to the size of herrings and the mode of curing : there are many engaged in the fish eries tempted by the bounties, who care little for the cha racter of British cured fish in the market, and who, if the restrictions were all at once removed, might injure that character, and consequently affect the fishing, as a source of national wealth : the bounties being withdrawn, and the regulations continued for a few years, those only will prosecute the trade who understand that their own inter est is inseparably connected with the proper condition of the fish sent to market ; and when the withdrawal of the bounties shall have removed mere adventurers from the fishing, the regulations may afterwards be abandoned, and the trade left to itself on the security of the capital employed on it. SHEEP.—The following plan for Wintering Sheep, af ter a summer of severe drought, and when the scarcity of fodder renders a resort to some other expedient necessary, is adopted with great success, by a farmer of New York. About the 15th of December he commences feeding them. He divides the sheep into flocks of 100 or thereabout, and gives them daily half a gill of corn in the ear, dividing it so as to give half in the morning, and the residue in the course of the evening ; except that to the lambs he allows nearly the same quan tity of oats in the sheaf. He feeds in this way till about the New-year, when the quantity of grain is a little increased ; so that between the 15th of December and the 15th of April, he says, he actually fed, to 380 sheep 14.5 bushels of corn, and to 120 lambs 40 bushels of oats— which would be something less than a gill of corn and oat per heat], per day, to both sheep and lambs during the winter. The flock have little more than enough of hay to form a cud, except that in extreme cold weather he directs them to be full fed on hay. In this manner 501) sheep were wintered, with the loss of only three lambs ; and at the opening of the spring they were in better health and condition than any flock he ever witnessed in any season since he has been engaged in rearing sheep and growing wool. FALL; LAN Walter Scott, in company with the Chief Baron and some other gentlemen, paid a visit to Falkland on Monday week. The appearance of the dis tinguished Baronet in that ancient seat of royalty gave rise to as many conjectures among the town's folks; as a visit from the gudeman of Ballengievh vvou'd have done among their ancestons. It was surmised by some that a new novel was on the tapir, in which Falkland was to have the honour of furnishing the hero, and Fife the scenery ; by others that Sir Walter had been sent by the King to ascertain if it was really true that the ruins nt Falkland had again assumed an appearance worthy of one of the Scottish palaces ; and some supposed that other improve ments are projected by the present liberal proprietor, still farther to grace the national associations of his domain. and in which he desired the ()Onion of the first of Scottish literati and antiquarians. Of course the mystery remains unsolved ; and as the author of each conjecture remain.: Convinced of the correctness of his own, we hope they may be all in the right.—Fife Herald.
