This was sound advice. We are ourselves friendly to a very comprehensive plan of reform ; but We think it better to take a little, than, by de manding a great deal, lose every thing. The cause of reform never was at a lower ebb than at this mo ment; and it is more indebted to Cobbett and Huat than any body el, , e for its fallen condition. These two men, acting in the purest spirit of intolerance, treat with contempt every scheme that differs in the slightest shade from their own ; and rather than concede a little to the friends of the cause, give up every thing to its enemies.

The system of this country is, whenever any individual acquires great property and political influence, to elevate him to the peerage ; so that the House of Peers may be said to name the House of Commons. But after all, what a small part of the property of the nation do these Peers possess on even the highest estimate. A dozen, or per haps twenty of them, suffer more from their share of the general loss from misgovernment than they can gain from it ; but, generally speak ing, they can gain a great deal more from having the power to cut and carve out the fortunes of this great nation, than they can have from their share of the injury produced by misgovernment. Let us take only the valuation of the property of Lancashire alone, and place the property of the peerage beside it, and then it will be seen how small a share of our property riots upon the rest. The extravagant habits of individuals in England make the people an easy prey to those who seek to plunder them in detail. No matter what a man possesses, he is always grasping at more to supply some real or imaginary want. He is, therefore, less anxious to protect what he has, than eager to venture what he has for more. Hence, he is too often like the dog in the fable, who, grasping at the shadow in his eagerness to have an additional piece of beef, lost all. The active and the energetic are generally either toiling for subsistence, toiling to escape from poverty, or toiling to acid to their Wealth. Before reform becomes general with such a people, either a great change must take place in their ways of thinking, or a 'great change in their circum stances.—lbid. In one of the new Police Regulations, or ra ther Instructions, the Constable is told that " he will be expected to possess a knowledge of the inhabitants of each house within his district."— This, we confess, appears either to imply an im possibility, or borders on that system of espio nage which in other countries is found so hate ful, and which will, we trust, be never passively submitted to in England. What would be thought of a master of a house in this country having to register the names, ages, and occupa tions of all its inmates ? Or, if he turns away his cook, or footman, that he must give notice to the watchman, lest the latter should seize • upon the new comers as suspicious characters ? But, to be either available, or in any degree pa lateable to the country, such a regulation must lie most strictly applied to houses of the most questionable description. The Nobleman or private Gentleman in Portman-square, or the tradesman in Piccadilly, will not much like, or even see the necessity, we should think, of the police constable " possessing a knowledge of the inhabitants" of their houses, while those of the gaining, the club-house, the flash-house, and houses of many other descriptions, are unknown. Those, for instance, in whose district St. James's -street, Pall-mall, and Burv-street, will lie, will have a somewhat difficult task, we should think, to acquire a knowledge of the in habitants of certain houses which will be found within their beat ; and yet this regulation means a knowledge of them or of none ; for as to knowing the inhabitants of' private houses, the very idea is a farce and an impertinence which we arc convinced could never be put in practice, unless it is meant that the inhabitants of London shall only pass along the streets, like game, with their directions tied on to their button-holes. We do not start this objection in any spirit of hostility to the new system of police, but because we think it betrays a disposition either to attempt . impossibilities, or p os sibiliti e s at the expense of an intrusion upon domestic liberty and comfort hich ought not to be attempted. It was not in the want of this kind of knowledge that the old police has been defective, but because an inert and ill-paid class of men have been employed under heads who either did not know, or would not do, their duty. A n i n t e lligent, vigilant, zealous, and active Magistracy has been hitherto the one thing needful ; and unless that is ob tained, all volumes of instructions to constables must be in vain. Unless the mind of its hero had presided over the destinies of Waterloo, it would have been in vain that the troops had been the flower of the country, and their courage and materiel such as, - under his direction and ex ample, fought and con quered.—Morning,Herald, THE NEW POLICE and THE WATCHMEN. Yesterday a notice was posted on the door of several of the Churches in London, informing the unfortunate. watchmen that their services would be dispensed with on Tuesday. The following is a copy of the notice which was affixed to the door.of the Church of St. Clement Danes:— " To the Vestry arid Overseers of the Poor of the Parish of St. Clement Danes, as well within the Liberty of Westminster as within the Duchy Liberty, and to all and every the Watchmen and others of the Night Police appointed in and for the said Parish, and to all others whom it doth or may concern : We, the undersigned Justices of the Peace, appointed under and by virtue of the Act of Parliament passed in the tenth year of his present Majesty's reign, en titled, An Act for Improving the Police in and near the Metropolis,' do hereby give you notice that its pursuance to the said Act of Parliament u new Police will be ready to take the charge of the said Parish of St. Clement Dunes on the 29th Sept. instant, upon and ger which 29th day of Sept., the Night Watch and the Night Pclice appointed within the said Parish previously to, or independent of, the said Act of Parliament, will be discontinued.— Given under our hands this 18th Sept. 1829.

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday morning, about nine o'clock, a man named JOHN SHEPHERD, who resided in a cottage in Captain PEtinunnoces garden, in Bloomfield place, WWI found by Captain P.'s son lying on his back behind the door, in his shirt, quite dead. It is supposed, that being unwell in the night, he was going out, and was seized in so sudden a manner with the fatal attack as not to give him time to procure assistance. A coroner's inquest was held on the body on Tuesday, when a verdict of " Died by the visitation of Con" was re turned.—Bath Herald. OPENING OF THE HAIL-ROAD TO MON umnru CA P. —On Monday last this new and important communication with the coal and iron works of Monmouth shire was opened, and about ten o'clock in the morning the inhabitants of Hereford were gratified by the arrival of se veral tram-carriages, laden with coal, and in the course of the day 15 trams with coal, from the Blaenavon collie ries, and 18 from the Pontypool, with one laden with grain, in all 34, arrived at the wharf near Wyebridge. This train road will form a permanent, certain, and rapid medium of conveyance and traffic between Hereford, its vicinity, and the important district surrounding Aberga venny, and other parts of Monmouthshire, comprising ad vantages of the greatest consequence to all parties, and affording.a new source for the conveyance of produce, and facilities for commercial intercourse, alike beneficial to the agriculturist, the manufacturer, and every class of society.

Tallents, Esq., to upwards of 200 electors of the borough of Newark, who at the late election declined voting for M. T. Sadler, Esq., the nominee of the said Duke ; we, the undersigned, do hereby request you to call an early meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Newark, and the owners of property therein, to take into consideration the foregoing circumstance, and to adopt such measures as may be deemed best calculated to avert the consequences of a proceeding in direct violation of the freedom of election, derogatory from the character and independence of the borough, and fatal to the prosperity of the town and the welfare of its inhabitants." (Signed by 111 inhabitants.) GUILDHALL. A genteelly-dressed young man, named George Pretty, who stated himself to be the son of a corn merchant at Bury St. Edmund's, was charged with running up a score of from 41. to 51. at the Bell Sanvage-inn, for the board and lodging of himself and a prostitute, whom he introduced as his wife, and then sneaking off, leaving her to settle the reckoning, which of course she was unable to do. This affair, the waiter said, happened three weeks ago, but early on Saturday morning he received notice from the female that the prisoner was lodging at a house of evil repute in George-street, Adelphi, and there apprehended him. He had given him as a security a bill drawn by himself on a Mr. Maim. ney, a builder, for 201. Mr. Mahoney was a bank rupt, and the bill had been proved under the com mission, the expected dividend being about 10s. in the pound. He was afraid holding this would not entitle him exclusively to receive that dividend : he considered his claim hopeless, and he had brought the prisoner forward to expose him, as a caution to other innkeepers. The prisoner said his case was a very hard one. He was not much acquainted with the ways of Lon don, and had been foolishly prevailed upon by the girl to take her to the inn, where he found himself unable to pay the bill. He then went into the country, and returned to London on Friday night. He called at the girl's lodgings, and the landlady had brought him up a stamp, insisting he should give her a bill for Here his story was broken off by the waiter, who explained that the landlady had been a sufferer by him, he having incurred a debt of 131. for board and lodging. Prisoner made no observation upon this, but passing to the waiter's complaint, reminded him he had left him hiS luggage. " Ay," said the waiter, " that is trite, but what is it worth ? I have examined it. The valise in which it is contained may be worth a shilling, and the contents are only a ragged shirt, a comb, - a brush, the lady's night-cap, and her night-gown." Sir PETER LAURIR advised the waiter to keep the bill, and give notice to the assignees of the transfer. He had no cognizance over this matter, and the prisoner must therefore be discharged; but the waiter had done well in taking care that his character should be exposed.—Case dismissed. BOW-STREET. On Saturday Banks, Smith, Cottrell, and Emery, alias Potts, the four men who were charged with having been concerned in the burglary at West Moulsey, and also in the robbery at the house of Mr. Campion, of Waltham-cross, were brought up for a re-examination. Sir R. BIRNIE asked Mr. Isaacs, the solicitor, if he had any additional evidence to offer, and being answered ►n the negative, the Magistrate said he should commit Banks for this robbery, and discharge Cottrell and Emery, as the evidence was not suffi ciently strong to warrant their committal. Banks and Smith were then removed to the pri vate office to undergo a final examination respecting the West Monkey burglary. Both prisoners were heavily ironed by order of the Governor of the House of Correction, who received intimation from the watchman of the prison (who overheard them con versing together on Thursday night) that they pro posed effecting their escape. They had calculated, it appeared, that they should be fully committed for trial on Saturday to Horsemonger-lane gaol; and supposing that Ford and Dodd (the two gaoler:) would walk them to the prison, their plan was to attack them on the way at a particular spot, and, aided by a strong party of their confederates, effect their escape. It is said, that they had also intended to attack the gaolers in the lock-up-room of the prison, murder them with their knives, and escape, either by scaling the adjoining walls or forcing their way through the front door. Fortunately, however, their plans were discovered in time to be prevented, and the heaty irons with which their legs were con fined renders any attempt at escape perfectly hopeless. Ihe Rev. Mr. Warrington and his lady arrived at the office early. The Rev. (;entleman was brought up from the King's Bench prison by habeas. The two prisoners having been placed fully in view, the Rev. Gentleman proceeded to detail the circumstances of the burglary, which took place at his house on the night of the 24th November last, the particulars of which have already appeared in The Sun. The prisoners were then fully committed for trial to Newgate, until the next assiz:•s for the county of Surrey, when they will be transmitted to Maidstone. The solicitor appointed by the parish authorities of Finchley to conduct the investigation relative to the circumstances connected with the mysterious death of Mrs. Phillips, applied for and obtained several summonses to procure the attendance of witnesses, to give evidence at the ensuing examination. Several persons, not examined by the Coroner, are summoned. MARLBORO U GH-STREET. Stephen Sandford, a desperate-looking fellow, about thirty years of age, was brought before Mr. CONANT, from St. James's watch-house, charged with having committed the following extraordinary burglary, on the premises of Messrs. Stultz, tailors, in Clifford -street, Bond-street : It appeared that on the persons in the house re ring to rest on Friday evening, all the fastenings were considered secure. About two o'clock on Sa turday morning, two young men in Messrs. Stoltz's employ, named Medscar and Rossitor, who sleep in the cutting-room, in the front of the house, where property to the amount of upwards of 20,0001. is deposited, were alarmed by an unusual noise pro ceeding from the door of the room, which momen tarily increased, and resembled the blows of a ham mer against the wood-work. On Rossitor rousing himself, he beheld a ruffian (whom he believed to be the prisoner) introducing himself into the apart ment through the panels of the door, which he had succeeded in removing. Rossitor instantly ex claimed, the fellow having still his right arm and leg outside, " For God's sake, who are you ?" To which he replied, producing a pistol, " Curse you, be silent, or I'll shoot you directly." Rossitor, who acted as porter, was still undaunted, and knowing that he had a blunderbuss near the bed, rejoined, " But I have a blunderbuss here to fire at you," and in endeavouring to find the weapon in the dark, he knocked down the candlestick, when he requested Medscar to search for the fire-arms, on which the ruffian, who held a lighted candle in his hand, re treated in the same direction as he entered. Medscar immediately ran up stairs to alarm Mr. G. B. Stultz, who slept in the house, whilst Rossitor proceeded in P ursuit of the prisoner, calling" Murder !" " Thieves !" Watch !" Bannister, a watchman, saw the prisoner running up Burlington-mews, towards the Burlington Hotel, and on attempting to secure him, he produced a pistol from his pocket, and presenting the weapon, polled the trigger; but happily for Bannister, it flashed in the pan, or he must have been shot dead on the spot. The prisoner then beat Bannister in a cruel manner with the butt-end of the pistol, and after knocking him down, ran off towards Regent street, which he crossed, the watchmen being in full pursuit, and he was ultimately secured in Little Marlborough -street by M'Donough, having on the wa y contrived to throw something into the hands of a female he designated as" poll," who instantly made off. The pistol was picked up in Old Bur lington-street, on the spot where he snapped it at Bannister. It was a common pocket pistol, loaded with slugs, and appeared somewhat rusty. On ex amining the premises of Messrs. Stultz, it appeared that the gang (for it evidently consisted of more than one individual) had effected a burglarious en trance into the house from Burlington-mews, where they had removed two wooden rails from the outer door leading to the workshop, and afterwards cut away the pannels of. two other doors, before they reached the cutting room. A large iron crow-bar, a chisel, and one of the rails, were picked up in the passage leading to the cutting-room, and a small wax candle was found burning in the workshop, the fellow to which was taken from the prisoner, as I well as a phosphorus-box, used by housebreakers. , Auckland, the beadle, also observed that the prison er's hands were covered with blood, occasioned ap parently by breaking into the premises. Adams and Clark, two watchmen in Cork•street, deposed to the fact of seeing persons lurking near Messrs. Stultz's house, at one o'clock in the morn ing, who endeavoured to draw them into conversa tion, and wished them to have something to drink, but they did not identify the prisoner as one of the party. Bannister, however, swore positively to the prisoner as the man who presented the pistol at him, and it appeared he was only lost sight of for a moment on turning into Joubert's-passage, Regent street. Schofield, the officer, said that on Sunday night a most determined attempt had been made to break into the premises of Messrs. Nichols and Rowan, tailors, of No. 12, Conduit -street, by picking the lock of No. 23, Maddox-street, where they cut through a fourteen-inch wall, and he thought that the instruments employed were exactly similar to those used to break open Messrs. Stultz's house. It appeared that no property was removed from Messrs. Stultz's, though the thieves evidently con templated a rich booty. The prisoner declined saying any thing in his defence, and, on the applicatio❑ of Messrs. Stultz's solicitor, he was remanded for another examination previous to his final commitment. MARYLEBONE. Mr. William Jones, the pawnbroker in Waterloo bridge-road, appeared on Saturday, according to his obligation, and he brought Jacobs, the Jew, with him. Miss Lee's evidence, to show that tinder the as sumed character of a sheriff's officer, he had de frauded her of a sovereign, was repeated, and she was cross-examined by Mr. Jones's solicitor. Pray, madam, are you a married or a single wo man ?—A single woman. You live, you say, at No. 12, Frederick-street, Hampstead road ?—I lodge there. How do you support yourself ?—I am supported by a gentleman. Who keeps the house ?—Mrs. Harrison. What is her occupation 7—She is supported by a gentleman. Are there any more ladies in the house 7—Only one, Mrs. Harrison's sister. How is she supported ?—By a gentleman. Do you swear that Mr. Jones called himself a sheriff's ..fficer ?-1 do. Mr. HosKlNs—Was any one else present ? Miss Lee—Yes, Sir, Mrs. Harrison ; she is here. Mr. HOsiums—Let her stand up. Mrs. Harrison, so called, represented herself to be Miss Harrison, and she stated that about a fort night ago, Miss Lee sent the servant to request that she would come up to her apartment. She found Mr. Jones there, and heard him say he was a Sheriff's officer, and had a writ against Miss Lee, and she must put on her things and go with him to Whiteeross-street. Miss Lee cried, and was greatly alarmed, and the witness interfered, and said if he would give Miss Lee till the next day she would answer for her not leaving the house, and he answered, " I will do so, arid say I cannot find her." She corroborated Miss Lee's evidence about his coming back in half an hour, and obtaining of Miss Lee a sovereign, and an undertaking to pay him 10s. a week until it amounted to 3/. 10s., arid positively declared upon her oath, that he demanded that sum to pay for the writ, and the attendance of an officer who he said was out of doors, and not for his ex pellees in following Jacobs to Dover. Mr. HoSKINs asked Jones's solicitor whether he had any witnesses to bring forward, and he called for Jacobs. Mr. Elosicris—l cannot make Jacobs a witness, for as the evidence stands, I shall certainly call upon both Jones and Jacobs to give bail, to answer the charge at the sessions. It is a most mischievous thing to draw bills of accommodation (as they are called) upon women of the town, and put theta into circulation ; and there appears a conspiracy between them in the transaction. Solicitor—Unless it can be proved that Jones gave no co:.sideration for this bill,- there is no evi dence of a conspiracy. Mr. lIOSKINS—I am not convinced of that; it is for a jury to decide. Jacobs wished to say something, and Mr. Hos- KINs told him he would hear him. Jacobs said, " I know Mrs. Harrison many years; always find her hottest woman ; I draw bill upom her, perhaps 101., perhaps 201., perhaps 30/.; some time I lend her 101. cash; she accept; I give diffe rence to her before bill come due, and she pay regu lar." H e d ec l are d hi mself to be a foreigner, and told the Magistrate since he had been in England he had drawn bills to the amount of 10,000/. Mr. HOSKINS detained them both untilthey should give bail, themselves in 1001., and two sureties of .50/. each, arid ordered particular inquiry to be made into the bail offered by the Jew. QUEEN-SQUARE. On Saturday Mr. Dun Egg, the gun-maker of the Opera-colonnade, Haymarket, appeared to a sum mons before Mr. MARRIOTT, to shew cause why he refused to pay John Davis, a workman, in his em ploy, the sum of 4/. 135., being the amount of a balance of wages. The complainant stated, that a few weeks ago he was engaged by Mr. Egg at 18s. per week. He had only paid him in part every week since, and there was now a balance due to him of 4/. 13s. Mr. Egg, in reply, said, that in the first instance he had agreed to give him 18s. per week, but find ing that he was a bad workman, and of little use, he told him he would only give him 10s. a week, and he might either go or stop, as he pleased. He was offered his 10s. as usual on Saturday night, which he refused. Mr. MARRIOTT endeavoured to persuade Mr. Egg :o arrange the matter with hie workman. Mr. Egg said he was willing to pay him the 10s., but no more. Mr. MARRIOTT asked Mr. Egg if be would pay the man a sovereign, and he would not make an or der upon him. The complainant, who declared that he had only one halfpenny in the world, appeared willing to ac cede to these terms. Mr. Egg still refused to pay any more than 10s., and said the complainant had done him more harm than good. He would not have him in his employ for 2004 Mr. MARRIOTT—Mr. Egg you are a very obsti nate man. Mr. Egg—An obstinate man : I know it : I am an obstinate man, and I always was one. Mr. MARRIOTT—If you do not give him a sove reign, which is only 10s. in addition to what you admit you owe him, I shall make an order upon you for t wo sovereigns. . Mr. Egg—fahvays pay my men regularly every Saturday night. There is no person in London has better rules and regulations than I have, and I al ways will be obstinate when I know I am in the right. The man is nothing more than an impostor. Mr. MARRIOTT—I will not suffer such language here. Suppose the complainant was to use such an epithet to you. Either pay the man a sovereign, or I will make the order. !4. ma rkel week• _ 42' „A 40' pd 38s I that abode of m i ser y, an d t h e young woman s. 6tea that a petition is in course of preparation, to bePre sented to the Lord Chancellor.
