r PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. Na HI. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Renumber always what a great man said in Parliament, that ' They who bought their seals in dig House,saust sell their sages there.' " —Exammita. Ott. 5, 1710. SIR-I have laboured, if not with success, at least with real and with candour, to chew how far the evil of misre presentation, and the necessity of Reform, have origi nated with, and been chargeable upon, THE PEO PT. E. — Let me now, with the same regard for their welfare, and with the same uncompromising sincerity, urge them to adopt such means as alone are calculated to abate, if they cannot abolish, every abuse, and redress every grievance. That Reroam, thorough radical and Constitutional Re form is necessary, no man in his senses can deny. But as corruption had its source in the people, so must the work of purification commence with the People : and until they begin that work by reforming them spires, they never must hope to achieve such a Re form as can be just, beneficial, or permanent. Till men learn to estimate, as they ought, the awful re sponsibility of the situation in which they stand, as the depositories of the most sacred trust—as the gua►dians of a patrimony to the maintenance whereof their alle giance is not only pledged—but their existence, their personal safety, their characters when living, and their fame when dead, alike involved in the discharge of their solemn duties : till they resolve firmly and conscientiously to exercise the powers vested in them, and to shrink with abhorrence from the prostitution of their most glorious privileges, corruption can never be checked in its de structive course ; but must for ever taint the stream of freedom. REFORM, to be effectual, must be gradual, and must be general: not precipitated with that wild and fatal fury which would dismember the State, and dash the rery form of Government to pieces : nor confined to one set of men, or one system of measures ; but felt and adopted throughout the kingdom. Let it be instantaneous and partial, and it must prove more ruinous than the worst evil it could possibly seek to avert. That the affairs of the country cannot go on as they now are, seems admitted by all parties ; amendment must come, or we must prepare for a more fearful alternative.— However insensible the people may have been to their own interests, and to their own integrity—yet the com plaints now wrung from them by the continued infliction of miseries which have at length become too painful for silent endurance, cannot long be resisted. But the resto ration of their rights can only be effected by the tem perate and constitutional means which they inherently possessed, and which no earthly power could have alien ated, had they been true to themselves. " While the constituent body retains its sound and healthful state, every thing will be safe. They will choose competent and faithful Representatives for every department. It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, that they become the willing instruments of their own debasement and ruin." Such was the language of MuN aol, previous to his inauguration as PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES, in 1817—and the blood boils indignantly in every vein, at the reproach which this stern truism casts upon the present condition of the enlightened and civilized CONSTITUENCY of ENG LAND. The influence of a Minister never could prevail over the independence of the people, did they not wil fully sacrifice that independence—did they not, like un principled hirelings, barter away their dearest privileges, and sell their birth-right " for a mess of pottage." Painful as it may be, to relinquish long-cherished as sociates,—and to forego the popular distinctions which were endeared by public virtue ;—yet in the present crisis, it behoves the people to place their chief reliance upon their own energies ; and no longer to confide in the liberal protestations of a party which retains nothing of patriotism but the name, and nothing of its original prin ciple but the profession :—a party defeated in every struggle, not by the moral power of its opponents—but by its own inefficiency and disorganization ; not from the want of popular support, but of integrity in its leaders : —a party which, with " LIEERTY " inscribed on its ban ners, and with •` REFORM" as its watchword, has never made one vigorous exertion to protect the one, or to pro mote the other ; but has tamely witnessed the devas tating progress of corruption, and surrendered even the strong-holds of Constitutional freedom at the bidding of an arbitrary Minister.— Do I make a charge which I am not prepared to substantiate ?—What was the con duct of the modern " Man of the People ?"—what was the conduct of " Westminster's pride and Eng land's glory ?"—what was the conduct of " the spirited and constitutional Assertor of the People's rights ?" what was the conduct of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT when the notorious bribery and corruption of the borough of Pearhyn was brought before the House of Commons ? Did that professed REFORMER stand forward in his place as a representative of the people—as the champion of their independence—to denounce the flagrancy of the crime, and to demand its signal punishment ?—Did he assail the Hydra when her den was discovered ?—Did he, armed in the panoply of constitutional liberty, hurl the bolt of offended patriotism at the many-headed monster ? Sir, he was worse than a merely passive spectator of the delinquencies then brought to light,—he was only not the advocate of the venality and abuse by which the Con stitution had been assailed; he did not blush to be their apologist ; he even endeavoured to palliate the enormity .of such offences by the frequency of their commission ! " Where"—said the indignant Champion of Reform— " where is the justice of making this example, when it is as notorious as the sun at noonday, that the system per vades the whole representation ?" —Such was the lan guage or Sir FRANCIS BURDETT 011 all occasion BO vitally important to the interest of the people of England. —What the conduct of even his most influential col- leagues has been, their duped adherents may be best informed by referring to a" MEMORANDUM CONCERN ING THE WHIGS," which should be read by every man who has hitherto placed any reliance upon the professions 'of that party. We are therein told, honestly and truly told, that " The Journals in both Houses betray thcir deplorable insignificance, whenever they array themselves against the Minister on any point of important difference : look at the case of East Retford, and see their strength on questions of Reform. Look, also, at the motion of Lord BLANDFORD on the 2d of June—it will become memorable hereafter—on this momentous subject. See how it was treated by those very men who had hound themselves, over and over again.—per fas ct nefas—to champion it under every modification! Ho r. usE alone excepted, not an individual in all the ranks of the Re formers had either the courage or the virtue to stand up ; and even Ms support was given with an air of aristo cratic jealousy, and costive and uncandid reservation, alike indecent in a professed regenerator like him, and ominous of the fate of the question. Where was his tried Colleague—' the man of the people'—Bu REIM' r ? And Lord Jolt N RUSSELL—the new Agonistes of the measure—where was he? Where B ito uu tt A:, the mouth-piece of liberal opinion-- Corim quo pavidos °inlet patter. tyranny? In sulky silence they heard, unassisting, a proposition for parliamentary reform ; and because it originated ex trinsically to their own body, they left it to be put down by the dictum of its natural enemy, PEEL. He carried it with a high hand, no doubt as much to their catisfat.- (ion as to their shame : and yet these men will go back to the hustings, and prate about political integrity, with cheeks as unblushing as if they hod done their duty. Alas ! alas ! for the Whigs— how are they &Hen from their own boasted standard, and become a bye-word and an opprobium in the senate !" These are facts— bitter ::cad humiliating facts, that cannot too often be held up to the contemplation of the People, till they be come convinced that PARTY—in the limited sense in which it is comprehended by them —or, at lmz, " PARTY-SPIRIT, " is, indeed, but " the madness of many for the gain of a few."—Who, that knows the trickery to which the very name is rendered subservient, would not • indignantly exclaim with Pope —" A curse on the word Party ! I wish the present reign may put an end to the distinction, that there may be no other for the future than that of honest and knave, fool and man of sense." Who that values his country can repress the wish to see its Monarch " not a King of Whig,s, or a King of Tories, but a King of England ?" Even now--let us look to the public acts of some of the chimerical fame-hunters and specn latiug demagogues, by whom the people have so long suffered themselves to be deluded :—let us look to the boasted stedfastness of some of the very men who were the loudest in their vociferations of Reform :—have thcy not, within the last ten years, become apostates from their own principles—if principles they ever possessed ;—filse to their own friendships; and traitors to the c muse itself ? Which of them—and they are known too well to need enumeration—has not fallen off from his public pledge of independence ? Which of them has maintained his con sistency ? Which of them, though once the affianced friend of his partisans, is not now at the dagger's point with him who was then " his heart's best brother ? " There is neither union, nor sincerity, nor stability, amongst the " Associated Reformers ; " and from them the people have, not only nothing to hope—but every thing to dread. The recent schism amongst the LEADERS (!) of the " Radical Reform Society," may have at least one salutary effect, by deterring the great body of Constitutional Reformers from " pinning their faith upon the sleeves " of such political empirics. London. Sept. 23. VERAX. Sunday last, several of the celebrated race horses ar rived at the Castle and Falcon, among which were Mr. 'Forth's Exquisite, sold to Mr. Theobnld for 3,000 guineas ; Lord Chesterfield's favourite, Zinganee, Tyke, Clotilde, Blacklock, winner of all ages. Their condition was excellent. Zinganee was considered to have a little cold upon her. In addition to the sale of Exquisite, Mr. Forth has sold Bud for 2,8001. They stopped all night, and proceeded on their way to Newmarket. —Newmarket Times. GRAND INVENTION.—ACCELERATION OF CAR RIAGE.—Since the last notice which appeared in this paper, we have had the pleasure of witnessing the model of the new Suspension Rail Road and Carriage, invented by Mr. Dick of Irvine, the patentee—an invention that, in our opinion, will be of the greatest importance to the country, and lead to the most beneficial results. This contrivance, so fraught with interest to the public, has been the result of several years' experiments, in which Mr. Dick has been engaged, and, in the opinion of several scientific Gentlemen with whom we conversed, Mr. D. has produced a method of speedy conveyance, which, if adopted, will render his name and his memory as precious to his country as the name of Watt or Bell. About six weeks ago, Mr. Dick fitted up above five hun dred yards of a temporary rail-road, on the farm of Gales, belonging to the Duke of Portland, upon which rail-road he placed his carriage, and running it upon wheels of only 2i inches in diameter, the velocity gained was at the rate of 20 miles an hour—a rate which may be considered as the maximum of speed, beyond which a wheel of such diameter cannot be made to revolve. Of late we have seen many accounts of steam-boats, with improved paddle wheels, going at the rate of 100 miles an hour ! and of air tight vacuum tubes, through which carriages are hurried with amazing velocity ! The first of these any man, with the most limited comprehension, must know to be all fudge ; the next, if not otherwise impracticable, is rendered so by its enormous expense ; but of Mr. Dick's invention, we have no hesitation in saying, that fifty or sixty miles an hour, provided the day were moderate, could be performed with the greatest ease and safety possible ; and from a rough calculation, we are persuaded that the expense of erection would not cost more than what is generally paid for surface ground upon a common rail road. We have learned that Mr. Dicx is at present finishing two small models, slightly differing in the arrangement of their rails, and that he intends exhibiting them in the prin cipal commercial towns.—The invention of machinery as a substitute for horses in land carriage, should it take place, must produce such a great revolution in the modes of travelling, and in our national and do- . mestic economy, that the progress of every attempt to obtain this object, must be watched with intense interest in every enlightened mind.—Correspondent i s Paisley Advertiser. Mr. FRENCH and Messrs. COBBETT. Yesterday Witham abode, Jahn Coact:, and Rickard COM, were indicted, at the Middlesex Adjourned Sessions, for an insult us Daniel French, Esq. Barrister at Law. The defendants are the sons of the wen-known Mr. Cobbett, and the nature of the assault has been already before the public. Mr. French (tbe prosecutor) was the first witness examined by his Counsel, Mr. Pamestaaa.trr ' and he stated the nature of the assault, which was rather of a severe nature, he having been stopped by the three defendants in Kensington, and beaten with a bludgeon of rather awful dimensions. Mr. French, in stating the circumstances of the assault, frequently wandered into matter which was not strictly evidence. Mr. PRINDIRGAST attempted several times to keep him within bounds. and at length Mr. French told bins that he had changed sides. It appeared upon the cross-examination that the assault ori ginated in these circumstances. Mr. French had been for months the intimate friend of Mr. Cobbett, and was received on terms of confidence by every member of the family. Mrs.Cobbett also made him her confidant as to certain charges which she supposed to be well founded against her husband? Mr. French would not understand the nature of these charges, hut after they bad been reiterated during a period of six months, he at last put the question to Mrs. Cobbett as to whether she really meant to make such charges against her husband. She replied in the affirmative. lie was amazed, and felt hound to communicate the fact to Mr. Cobbett. In the first instance, however, he communicated it to a clerk of Mr. Cobbett, of the name of Riley. When Mr. Cobbett was informed of the circumstances, he thanked Mr. French fur communicating the facts to him, and said that he believed Mrs. Cubbett would cut his throat if she could, she was so jea lous of him. . The sons of Mr. Cobbett subsequently became informed of the nature of Mr. French's communication, and the mother denying that she had told him anything of the kind, the defendants, naturally enough inflicted the chastisement complained of upon the plaintiff, under the impression that he was himself the author of the calitninies, witch he attributed the origin of to their mother. Tile assault was proved by other witnesses as well as by Mr. French, after which Mr. Prendergast said that his case was closest. Mr. C. Punta's. on the part of the defendants, then rose and said, that he believed such a case had never before been brought before a Court of Justice. For the honour of human nature be wished that the case had not been exposed ; that Mr. Cebhert had not been dragged into a Court to have exposed against him the most vile and groundless calumnies; that he had not been thus assailed by men, whom he had only known by the benebts he had conferred upon them. Exposure to foul and undeserved calumnies was, however, a debt which men of talent were always doomed to pay ; hut still be confessed he was much surprised to. see a gentleman, a man of talent and education, a Member of the English Bar, and, above all, a husband and a father, conic into the witness-box, and depose to facts such as hr had done that day. Even supposing his own statement to be perfectly correct, what, he would ask, did he deserve for acing as be had dune? lie had been received into the confidence 01 Mr. Cobbett, and had shared the hospitality of his roof, and he had received at the bands of Mr. Cohbett numerous kindnesses, which, though trivial in their nature, admitted of no doubt as to their motive; and if such a man were found disseminating slanders too atrocious for human utterance, surely strong exteimation was proved for the assault committed by the deretatirtiti. Mr. French admitted that lie was always received at Mr. Cobbett's house and by every member of his family with a hearty welcome, whether he went there with or without an invitation ; and yet, time after time, for a period of six months, he had been listening to the slanders of the wife against her husband, and never communicated those slanders to his triend, never refrained trout sitting down at the same table with this woman, who, if his story were true, was a monster unutterable—a monster beyond conception—a monster baser even than the fabricator sit such atrocious calumnies. Ought he not to have Bed the house, instead of day after day, for a period of six months, listening to such calumnies with a com placency which was quite astonishing if his story could be believed? Ought he to have enjoyed the hospitality of Mrs. Cui•bett after she had uttered such calumnies ? 'the very cir cumstances of his continuing to sit at the same board with her was evidence sufficient that she never said so. Mr. French told the Jury, that over and over again she made the charges for a period of six mouths. Bit. French said that he upbraided himself for thinking that a Lady could have entertained such an idea, but that at last he put the question plainly to her ; but if he only suspected her meaning, ought be to have subsequently sat at the same table with her ? Was it not his duty to go to Mr. Cobbett in the first instance instead of going to Mr. Riley, who was but a servant of Mr. Cobbett's? But be (Mr. C. Phillips) had said that he did nut believe the statement of Mr. French, and as he wished to relieve Mrs. Cobbett from the suspicion of having given utterance to such caluntifies, he world place her. in the witness box, and then they would have oath against oath. Mr. Paasintacner objected to Mr. Phillips alluding to evidence which could not be adduced. Mrs. Cobbett's evidence could not be received, except in mitigation of punishment, and therefore ought not to be attended to. The CHAIRMAN seemed to be of a similar opinion. Mr. PHILLIPS then proceeded to argue that Mrs. Cobbett could never have made these communications to Mr. French, for if she bad believed Mr. Cobbett capable of such crimes, was it likely that she would have continued to reside beneath the same roof? _ . Mr. Putman was repeatedly interrupted by Mr. French in the course of his address, and at length said that he could not wonder at the treatment which he received from Mr. French, when be had told his own Counsel more than once that he had changed side.. The Jury immediately found them all Guilty, but under circum stances of great provocation. Mr. Pamirs put in an affidavit from Mrs. Cobbett in mitigation of punishment, but the Court finding that it positively contradicted the evidence of Mr French, rejected it. The Comm then sentenced William Cobbett to a fine of 201. to the King, and John Cobbett and Richard Cobbett to a fine of 40s. each, and to enter into their own recognizance. of 1001. each to keep the peace towards the prosecutor. A witty lady remarked that she hoped the New Pelisse would not be a cloak to any irregularities. The last Gazette contains the singular announcement of a bookseller at Calcutta among the list of bankrupts. The late succession of fine days has enabled the farmers in some parts of the country to put a finishing hand to the harvest ; but of the barley much yet remains to be cut in many places. During the late floods, a man, residing on the banks of the Avon, a few miles above Tewkesbury, employed himself with a boat for nearly a week in collecting the hay that Boated down the swollen river. His labours were rewarded by sufficient to make a large rick of considerable vahle. A few days since, a farmer, residing in the neigh bourhood of Banbury, while drinking a p rit of beer, swallowed a wasp which was in the cup, mid so rapid was the inflammation, that he died in a few hours. A respectable inhabitant of Cheltenham• states, that within the last 25 years there were only four inhabited houses in the tithing of We,tall, a large district of the parish lying south of the Chelt. The present number of inhabitants are estimated at spwards of four thousand. who real& in ahni.t six hundred houses, many of which ate the most bplendid and substantial that have been built In this increasing and highly favoured watering-place. General Lafayette has imported from South America two birds, male and female, called hocco„ which are now at his estate, near Paris. This bird, which is wild in South America, becomes speedily as tame as the domestic fowl, and thrives in our climates., The 4occo Is as large as a small turkey, and its flesh is said to be exquisite. The female in the possession of Gen. La fayette, has laid six eggs, but they were broken by accident. It is thought, however, that it will anon lay again, and that the breed may be propagated to a great extent. —Literary Gametic. CORN-EXCHANGE, NIARK 7 LANF., Sir!. 25.

Yesterday we gave part of these instructiolut which at this time are highly importantnot alone to the pe:- sous composing the Police torte, but to the whole com munity. Our previous extracts had reference only to the objectin view,—namely, the prevention of crime ;" which the local divisions, tl:e police force, and the out line of general daty. Our readers will have observed, from the portion given by Lis yesterday, that the force of each division is considembk,—consisting of one super intendent, four inspectors, sixteen sergeants, and one hundred and forty-four constables. The plan of ope rations is founded on the division of labour. Each divi- sion is divided into eight sections; and each section int, eight beats. The police constable has rather an ardnow, duty assigned to him. lie is very properly tolti in the, instructions, that " every police constable in t!ie fu:co may hope to rise by intelligence end io►:d conduct 1..) the superior st-ions; it is therefore ►ecsnu:nwded to each man to endeavour, by studyiii.: the instruc tions, and by reflecting upon the nature of the date he has to perform, to qualify himself for such promotion But at the commencement he will most certainlyreeom .. mend himself to notice by a diligent discharge of his own duties, and a strict obedience to the connuands of Lis superiors, recollecting that he who has been accustomed to submit to discipline, will be consider: al best qu►alifed to enforce it hereafter." Responsibility commences with this humble rank : " a particular poition of the seztion is committed to his care; he wiit have previously received from his serjeant a card, with the names of the streets, &c. forming his beat. He 1611 be held respoiviiiie for the security of the lives, the safety of all pro, erty, of every person within his beat, and for the preservati►n► of the peace and general good order of the whole, during the time he is on duty." It is, likewise, iudispenalbly necessary that he should make himself perfeet.y ac quainted with all the parts of his beat or section--..vith the streets, thoroughfares, courts, anti houses. lie 11l be expected to possess a knowledge, also, of the traits of each house. It must be obvious► to him that he will he much assisted in the performance of his duties by making himself acquainted with nll such particulars ; without knowing them he cannot hope to be a really effi cient Police Officer, nor expect to rise in the service." We now proceed to lay before the public the Instructions of the Superintendent, the Inspector, the Serjeant, end the Police Constable, in their individual capacities ; ;we close this important paper with a detail of the provi sional instructions. SUPERINTENDENT. It is desirable that he should reside as near to the Division Station as circumstances permit ; his duty will require his frequent attendance there. Applications for assistance and instructions made at the Station will be referred to him ; and a more speedy communication of all orders may be effecte d through him, tf be shall be near the Station, to which, in the first instance, they must be transmitted from the office. tie will be responsible for the general conduct and good tarsier of the officers and men under hi, charge. He should make himself well acquainted, by frequent personal intercourse, with the inspectors and sergeants, and thruuAi them, with the character and conduct of every man in the com pany under his orders ; and by a firm, but kind and conciliating behaviour towards them on all occasions, make them understand, that while neglect of duty can in no instance be passed over, every indulgence consistent with their general efficiency will be at all times shown to them. He will take care that the Standing Orders and Regulations, and all others given out from time to time, are promptly and strictly obeyed. It is expected that he should himself actually see a great deal done; but he must under.tand that he may be much more efficient by giving instructions to the Officers under him, and making them do their duty, than he can be by attempting to do every thing himself. He must see that the duty is dour, am'. will, if necessary, immediately report any neglect to the Com missioners. He is responsible generally for every thing relating to the Po lice of his Division (keeping in mind that the grand object is the menthols of crinee In every part of it). It h not wished to lay out any precise course for the superintendent, our to say how mucis of his time is to be passed in the active performance of his duties ; but he will feel the importance of visiting some part of bis divi sion at uncertain hours every day and night. He will make a daily inspection of the books at the Divisioa Station, to see that the, are kept correctly ; carefully examine and sign all Reports and Returns sent to the Office, and forward them punctually at the appointed hours. He will, according to his discretion, grant immediate assistaixe from the men on duty at his station to all persons reqiiinng it, where there is not time to refer to the Office for instruction.. In cases of complaints made against any of his men, if of a trivial nature, he will award some punishment to the man, and satisfaction to the party complaining, and report the whole imme diately to the Commissioners ; or if the offence be of a more serious nature, he should at once report the whole to the Commissioners, taking such immediate step, by suspending the man, or otherwise, as may appear necessary. It will be expected that he should at all times be able to furnish the Commissioners with particular information respecting the site of every part of his Division. In observing, with especial attention, the actions of all suspected persons within the Division, and in giving directions to his men for this purpose, he will keep in mind. that the prevention ot effuse, the great object of all their exertions, will be best attained by making it evident to all such, that they are known and strictly watched, and that certain detection will follow any attempt they may make to commit the crime. Upon any alarm of fire within the Division it becomes the duty of the Superintendent immediately to repair to the spot, and take the entire cootroul of the police force that may be assembled, sending for those who are off duty. Immediate notice must be given to the several Fire Offices. If the ►eys of the parish en gines are at the Division Station, they will be procured, and the engines got out and brought to the fire; rendering such assistance as may be in his power, Irons knowledge of fire plugs, procuring water, &C. The police will, perhaps, be moat useful in procuring a free scope for the firemen's exertions, and the parties more immedi ately interested ; with this view he will clear the street or grout..l in the immediate vicinity of the fire, of all persons not actively and usefully employed, taking care that all the adjoining streets, as tar as may be practicable, are kept clear of obstructions, by crowds, or carriars, waggons, carts, &c. that the engines may not be sit - layed on their road. Every assistance possible must be given to the removal of pro perty, conformably with the wishes and suggestions of :he propnt tors; and, if desired, such property buy be conveyed to the nearest Poke Station or Residence, placing it under the protection of the Police. _ _ _ A special attention must be directed at such times to the thieve• and pickpockets, who are usually in the crowd. Whenever the men may be called away from their beats by fire or any sudden necessity, they shall be directed to return to their regular duty as soon as they can be spared ; and the S-..rgeant wail be sent with them, to see that no delay occurs in their return. should make it Ins duty to collect upon the spot all the intormation he can obtain relative to the Cetus! of the are. which. together wi:h the circumstances attend•rig it, the conduct of the Police under his orders, and the time they were employed, he wiU report fully, as soon as may be, to the Commissioners, INSPECTOR. The Inspector will mile at the place appointed for him. He is to receive fits orders and I...nue/ions from, and m .ke his reports to, the Superintendent. He must strictly and promptly obey all lawful directions tor :Le execution of his duty, as be will expect the same submission ir.on the officers and men placed under his command. Each Inspector will hove under him four SergrAts and thirt} - sit men, and he will be responsible fur their general conduct and good order. It is expected that by constant personal intercourse with thi n: all, he shall make himself well acquainted with the talents and Et - neral moral character of each individual. He should immediately report to the Superintendent any cir cumstances which he observes in the conduct of the men rtquii in t ; notice. •If upon complaint made, or otherwise, be Shall think any yu• nishment ought to be inflicted on the Ng e n,he will o & so o n as p os sibl e ., communicate the whole matter to the SupesintendentAor his deers. sion. taking any immediate step, by suspension of tke man from duty, if the case requires that. He will take care that the standing orders and regulations, and all others given out from time to time, are promptly and strictly obeyed by those under him. It is expected that be shall be able and ready to give indruetinits to the Sergeants and Men, on all points relating to their duty. I
