Only for the moral effect of such cir vinstance in any future war with Turkey.— tut what says a Russian officer with the (hand Army ? For the PORTE the crisis arrived !—the nation is decidedly tired of le SULTAN! !" This is speaking out with a ►enbeance—and serves to show the feeling en tertained at head-quarters. If the Russians re frain for the present, it will only be to compass their desires more securely and completely for all time to come. A Frankfort Paper says, that an Express had been received at Vienna announcing that peace was concluded on the 30th of August, in the Ca mp bcfore Constantinople, between General DIEBITscIi and the REIS EFFENDI, at the in stance and under the joint mediation of the Legations of England, France, and Austria. Th e foll ow i ng are extracts : ODESSA, SEPT. 2. Captains of ships who have arrived here, have brought the news that Sumakoff is in our possession, that th e B ulgar i ans have voluntarily offered to assist t he. Russia ns in looking after the enemy, and that the Turks, who do not venture to engage with the Cos sacks, fly as soon as they get sight of them ; nay, that the Turkish regular troops fight with the irregulars. A lette r o f a Russian officer inserted in our journal, and dated from the bivouac between Bourgas and Adrianople, says—" The Turks are dispersed, and we have only to complain that they come to us unarmed, requesting us to give them protection (cartes de sztretO) for themselves and their families. Our Cossacks have hardly even occasion to fire upon the enemy, who constantly Riv e up their aims and withdraw. For the Porte the crisis is arrived ; the nation is decidedly tired of the Sultan." WARSAW, SEPT. 14. Accounts deserving of credit have been received from Moscow, of the taking of Tiebisond by the r°3' of General Count Paskewitcch. Information h " 5 also been received here, that the corps of General Diebitsch is rapidly advancing towards Constantinople. BERLIN, SEPT. 17. Hie Excellency the Count de Neodiue, Master of the Hunt to the Emperor of Russia, has left this city for St. Petetsburgh. _ _ FRANKFORT, SEPT. 19. An express has brought the prices of stocks at Vienna, on the 15th, viz., Mctalliques, 100 f ; Bank .Shares, 1,185-1.186. If we may believe private letters from Vienna, news had been received there that a peace was con clUded on the 30th August, in the camp before Con gtantipople, bet ween G enera l I)iebitsch and the Reis Effendi, at the instance and tinder the joint mediation of the legation of England, France, and Austria. FRONTIERS OF GALICIA, SEPT. Jr. The most judicious measures are taken by our Government to avert the danger arising from the Contagious diseases in the Principalities, and several battalions of infantry are said to be ordered from Tarapol and Padhorze to the frontiers. The pro gress of th e R uss i an arm i es cannot cau s e more joy at St. Petersburgh than is expressed at Warsaw, Where they hope to have the pleasure of seeing the Emperor Nicholas again before the end of the year, "Id expect also the publication of a Ukase for the convocation of the Diet.' 'I hough the Turks no where make any serious resistance, and peace is con fidently expected, the military armaments in the interior of Russia have been produced with re doubled activity during the last fortnight, and a considerable number of recruits has been ordered. This measure gives -to would-be politicians mate rials for all kinds of speculations, while the better informed, convinced of the pacific-sentiments of the Russian Emperor, look upon it aiinerely a precaution against unexpected events. The merchants on their part do not on_ this account relax in their exertions; business, vrthick has much increased since the intro duction of a free system of duties, is very brisk. MUNICH, SEPT. 14. The Gazette of Spires, of the Bth September, contains the following article :—" We have this moment the following important news which we are assured is authentic :—Bv a convention concluded between the States on the banks of the Rhine, the "vigation of that river will be entirely free for those :States ; staple places will be suppressed, an d also the central commission of navigation at Mayence, and each State shall be at liberty to establish a f ree port On t h e part o f t h e Rhi ne subject to it. It is added, that by virtue of this Convert ti", the free navigation of the Rhine will be ex tended to all the rivers flowing into it—the Maine, the Neckar, the Moselle," &c. England, not being on e of the states of the Rhine, would (if the above is correct) be excluded from this right. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 22. The Viscount Itabayann, Member f the Council of his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, has arrived here from London. LIEGE, SEPT. 21. The Prince of Orange reviewed the Burgher Guard this morning, and frequently expressed aloud his satisfaction with its discipline and appearance. By the arrival of the French Papers of Tues day, by express, it would appear that up to the 3 d of September nothing was known at Odessa o f the Armistice between the Russians and the Turks• The General-in-Chief DIEBITSCII had left Adrianople on the 28th August, but whe ther to march straight to Constantinople, or to take possession of the Dardanelles, was not known. Admiral DE RIGNY was to have sailed from Toulon on the evening of the 17th inst., in the first instance for Malta, and then for the Levant. In the meantime, several ships of war which were ordered to be dismasted are to be got ready for sea forthwith. What does this mean ? Accounts from Bucharest say that the Rus sian troops marching to the Balkan have received order s to quicken their movements, and to ren dezvous at Adrianople. The same orders have been sent to the troops in Bessarabia. The ac count adds, that the " motives of all these mea sures are evident "—the possession of Constan tinople, " where the Russian troops may repose after the fatigues of their glorious campaign." On the 13th of this month a report prevailed in Vienna that the English and French fleets had taken possession of the castles of the Dar danelles, and the Bank Shares fell in conse qUence, but as the news was not confirmed, they rose again in the evening. Nothing was offi. daily known of the conditions of peace ; an in• ilemnity of 150 millions of piastres for the ex• Pences of the war, and the cession of some for , tresses in Asia, were spoken of, but nothing cer. Uhl Was known. The following is from our Paris Corre Vondent : " PARIS, SEJT. 22. " The rumours which have been for some i time in circulation, first of an armistice, and since of an absolute lamination to hostilities in the East of Europe, arc now gradually acquiring more consistency, and more general belief ; and, although the tremendous levy, lately announced in Russil, of three on every five hundred of the population, must be admitted, under present cir cumstances, to wear a threatening and warlike aspect, yet the evils which could not fail to at tend a more general interruption of the peace of Europe are now so universally admitted, that credit has, perhaps, been too readily given to these flattering reports; which, with something of a poetical license, have been regarded as the advanced shadows of events vet in the bosom of futurity. It is, however, among the immediate adherents of the Ministry, and in those circles which may be supposed to have access to the best and earliest information, that the belief in some pacific arrangement having taken place be tween the Russian and Turkish Commissioners has obtained the firmest footing. Not hating hitherto seen any evidence in support of this opinion on which I can bid you rely, I must content myself for the present with the expres sion of an unavailing wish that the Court of St. Petersburgh may find its . fears or its promises sufficient to restrain that ambitious policy which has so long tempted them to add to the Empire of the Czars the ancient capital of the Cmsars. " The day before yesterday was the last and greatest day of the great annual fair of St. Cloud, and the late unfavourable weather having been succeeded by a morning 'of delightful sun shine, I was induced, with a few friends, to mix in the crowd of well-dressed Parisians, who were hastening to enjoy the spectacle of the day in the immediate precincts of the Royal Palace. It was nearly four o'clock before our little party arrived on the ground: the market people and the dancers, the musicians, the jugglers, and the merry-go-rounds, were already in full activity ; and the splendid water-works of the Park having just begun to play, the public enjoyment was at its height, when the unexpected appearance of a detachment of the Garde du Corps, followed soon afterwards by a train of Royal carriages, gave a new direction to the feelings of the crowd. For a short time the accustomed round of amusements was suspended; and I confess that I waited with some curiosity to see the manner in which the King and his good people of Paris should meet each other after the late unpopular change in the Government. Ever since the Ac cession of the present Cabinet to power the two official Journals have persisted in contending that the opposition was mere Journalism, and that it had no foundation in the opinions of the people at large. As I could only judge of this reiterated averment from what I saw and heard in the circles to which I happen to have access, I Wa3 not sorry to witness the test of its truth, which was about to be exhibited. I hastened, therefore, to the front of the Palace, where the declivity of the ground and the division of the •esplanade afforded me an excellent opportunity of observing the features of the Royal Party, as they slowly approached, and of remarking the movements of the crowd. The first carriage contained the King, the Dauphin, the Dau phiness, the Duchess de Berri, the little Duke de Bourdeaux, and Mademoiselle. Four other carriages followed, containing the Officers of the Household, the attendants of the Prince, and the Ladies in Waiting of the Princesses. In le aspect of the King there was evidently, from the first, an air of stiffness and constraint, not by any means habitual to Charles the Tenth The free and unconcerned manner of the Dau , phin, who looks much more like the brother than the son of the king, bore no such indica tion ; but the deportment of the I)auphiness, who has been said by some one to be the only man of the family, was still more characteristic of displeasure than that of his Majesty was of nervous anxiety. The prim but puny figure of the little Duke de Bourdeaux, standing on a stool in the bottom of the carriage, seemed to tell of the lessons of royalty he had been receiving in the anti-chamber, while the pale and placid features of his mother seemed to say, that she at least saw no more in the scene than in any ordinary pageant. On passing the gate in the middle of the esplanade,' a feeble attempt was made by three or four voices to raise the accustomed cry of Vive le Roi,' but meeting with no respon sive feeling in the great body of the people, it was followed by a dead and ominous silence. The men, indeed, were all uncovered, and nothing was said or done to afford any active indication of disloyalty or disrespect ; but it was clear, from the aspect of the Royal party, and the cold reception they met with throughout their two hours' progress among the people in the park, that the governors and the governed were far from being well contented with each other. " A scene of a different kind was yesterday exhibited in front of the Palais de Justice. The Count de Mallarme, a degenerate member of the ancient Noblesse, who had been condemned to the pillory and to seven years' imprisonment, for abstracting money from letters intrusted to his care while officially engaged in the Post-office, underwent the absurd and demoralizing punish ment of public exposure. A punishment of this infamous description is no doubt much more severe on a titled culprit, like the Count, than on the common herd of malefactors ; but on that very account it seems to be unjust, since the remains of right feeling, and the contrition of the offender, become in some degree the mea sure of his punishment. On this occasion the poor creature's sufferings were evidently exces sive, indeed he was in an agony of tears (luring the whole of the disgusting scene. Attached to eight other gibbets eight other criminals were exhibited as an edifying spectacle to the multi tude, and two of them were afterwards branded with a hot iron, as if to make assurance doubly sure, that they at least should never return to the paths of rectitude and virtue. " I observe that the Con querant, M. Reg nault de la Susse, with Admiral de Rigny on board, has at length sailed from Toulon for the Levant ; but. I believe that nothing is publicly known of the new mission of the Admiral, whom the French delight to describe as the conqueror of Navarin. It is generally thought that he will not make a long stay in the Archipelago, unless his presence he required by the events which are passing in the Ea,t. " A letter from Argos of the 15th of August, announces that General Church has resigned the command of the Greek forces. With the greatest respect,' he says, for the Greek na ‘. tion, I make the avowal that the present sys , tern of their Government accords neither with my opinions nor my conscience, and in conse- quence I place in the bands of the Itepresen tatives of the Nation, assembled in Congress at Argos, the charge which [ received in 1827 of Generalissimo and Director of all the land forces of Greece.' The National Assembly has ended its labours. The Panhellenion, here after to be called the Senate, is to be composed of 21 Members, chosen from a list of 63 per sons, six of ‘rhom are named by the President. The French General Frezel, Chief of the Staff', is to be entrusted with the command of all the regular forces of Greece. _ " Madame Catalani has finally announced her resolution to sing no more in public, unless in duced to do so by motives of charity. " For thirteen years the Seine has never been so high as it is at present ; and from the late rains, as well as the already swollen state of the Marne, it must still rise considerably." The following are extracts from German Papers, received this day : ST. PETERSBURG)!, AUG. 8. A Supplement to the Journal de St. Petersburg contains a short preliminary account of the taking of Adrianople. Speaking of the conduct of the troops, the General says " their good conduct and excellent discipline have in general gained the entire confidence of the inhabitants, both Christiana and Mahometans. The former voluntarily take arms in defence of their homes and families, and in concert with our Cossacks patrol in those directions where they learn that the remnant of the scattered Turkish troops collect. The latter, having every thing to fear from their own soldiers who arc under no re straint, hasten to place themselves under our pro •tection as soon as we appear." BERLIN, SEPT. 19. The Prussian State Gazette of this date contains no news from Turkey. HAGUE, SEPT. 22. The official Gazette contains a long list of pro motions in the army. We learn that the Prince of Orange is going to Ems to visit the Grand Duke Constantine. Some of the journals of the southern provinces say that the Kiug of Prussia and two of his sons are expected at Brussels in the beginning of next month. The accounts from Guilderland, North Brabant, and Flanders, respecting the state of the rivers are very unfavourable. Extensive tracts of country are tinder water. LIIPSIC, SEPT. 4. In the night of 29th tilt. the Count de Caux, French Ambassador at the Ceurt of Hanover, on his way from Dresden to Leipsic, was suddenly stopped by a troop of Students of our University, who pro bably had been indulging in a neighbourieg inn ; they stopped the horses, brolie the limps, and ill treated the postilions and servants of the Crown. — They then opened the coach doors, and were even going to pull out the Ambassador's lady, but were prevented by his threatening to fire. Several of them have since been arrested. AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 22.—Exchange on London,,l2. 30, two months, 12. 22. 3-10. Letters from Perpignan of the 10th inst. state the receipt of advices from Rousillon, that the vineyards in that part of France promised an abundant crop. The accounts from Paris, this morning, an, nounce the death of the Bishop of MoNs. Letters from Rio Janeiro of the 31st July,. bring the exchange at 26i. The Journal du Commerce, under date of Gibraltar, Sept. 3, announces the death of the two individuals sent to the hospital sick, it was supposed of the yellow fever. The majority of the physicians upon opening the body had how ever decided it was not the yellow fever. Letters from the frontiers of Galicia of the 3d September state, that the sickness at Brody had been proved not to be the plague. By the Corn Averages, this day, it appears that the duty on Foreign Wheat has advanced ls. per quarter, being now at 21s. Bd. That on foreign Barley and Beans has declined ls. 6d. per quarter. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE came to town yesterday morning from their residence in Bushy park. Their Royal Highnesses were visited at their resi dence in the King's Palace, St. James's, by the Duke, Duchess, and Prince Gioxaz of CUMBERLAND, the Duke of Susssx, and the Princess Sophia. In the evening the Duke and Duchess honoured the entertainment given by the Prussian. Minister and the Baroness BuLow, at their residence in Great Cumberland-place, in honour of the christening of their infant son. The Duke' and Duchess of CUMBERLAND, attended by the Countess SCHLIPPEN BACH, also honoured their Excellencies with their company to dinner. The Russian Ambassador and Princess Laxvms, and the Earl of ABERDEEN, were among the distinguished guests prrscnt to meet the royal party. 3 The next production from the fertile pen of Sir WALTER Scow will he a History of Scotland, in two Vols. small Bvo. The First Volume will appear on the 31st of October, and will form the commencement of Dr. LARDNER'S Cabinet Cyclorat Ha. The Second Volume, which is nearly completed, will follow in January. THE COLLEGTANS.—We are not surprised to find that a Second Edition of this popular Novel has already been demanded. The talent it displays is un doubtedly of a very high order, and such as fully to justify the encomiums bestowed on it by the critics, " We do not remember," observes one, "to have ever seen a more beautifully drawn love scene than that which this work presents to us, and we believe no novelist ever developed with more exquisite pathos, the sensatiens of a breaking heart when it first feels the stroke which annihilates its only hope." SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. LEWIS, THE CostEDIAN.—We are sorry to announce the sudden disso lution of Mr. E. L. Lewis, the Comedian attached to the Coburg Theatre. This unfortunate gentleman was about 36 years of age, and had been nearly all his life-time con nected with the stage, and was much respected by his theatrical brethren. On Monday night he played with his usual spirit, and appeared to be in good bodily health. At about two o'clock yesterday morning he was seised with a violent apoplectic fit, which terminated his exist ence. Mr. LEwis had been appointed Secretary to the Minor Theatrical Fund, established by Mr. DAVIDGE some short time back. He has left a wife,. bet no chil dren, to deplore his loss, which will be severely felt .. inthe theatrical world:, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

It is supposed she would be driven on shore pear Port Niesick. The Sir James Kempt, -, from Halifax to Jarraica, was abandoned at sea the 3d inst., being dismasted and water-logged. The Adventure, Wilson, from St. Petersburgh, put into Gamogle, near Belfast, the 20th, making four feet per hour, having struck on a rock, and must discharge. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TIE RLIE 0' CLOCK. Jamaica Papers to the 9th August, and Rio Ja neiro to the 29th July, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Jamaica Paper states, that by accounts from St. Jago de Cuba of the Ist inst., there was not a barrel of American flour for sale at that place, and the Spanish flour lately imported there in a British vessel was sold at. 16 dollars, and of inferior quality. Intelligence has been received by the Commodore Owen, from Campeachy, that that place was in great consternation and filled with troops, in daily expectation► of the Spanish expedition from Cuba. By the Shannon we learn that when she left Cu racoa on the 2d inst. the Barham was in a state of great forwardness, and would soon be ready for sea. A violent shock of an earthquake was felt at Green Island, wbich continued about three seconds. Accounts from Ancona of the 9th of September state that a steam boat had arrived there from Con stantinople with despatches for England ; it left Pera on the 28th August, when it was reported that an armistice had been signed for 15 days, and it was certain that the Sultan was disposed to make peace. In Constantinople great alarm prevailed, the rich Armenian Bankers and the Jews had left for the in terior. Mr. Gordon had frequent interviews with the Reis Effendi, and the other members of the Divan. The English courier from London left an hour after his arrival. Consols opened this morning at 89f for the ac count, and may be quoted at present at 89k, with nothing doing as yet. In the Foreign market the prices are as per yes- terday. Three per Cent.

TWO O'CLOCK. There has been but very little fluctuation in the Consol Market during the morning, and may be quoted at 89a for the Account. Alternately buyers and sellers, 891, sellers for money. The speculators are anxiously waiting the arrival of official intelli gence of the Armistice between the Russians and Turks, and its delay has rather damped the market, of which the Bears take the advantage, by stating that the Russians were marching on Con stantinople. A day or two, or perhaps a few hours, we have no doubt will confirm the previous informa tion we gave of the armistice having taken place on the 29th of August. Accounts from Argos, dated August, state that the President of Greece has obtained the unani mous suffrages of all the acts of his Government, and they also have given him a proof of their con fidence, by authorizing him to treat with all the foreign Powers in conformity with the instructions of the Assembly of Epidame. General Church has given in his resignation to the Assembly. There is nothing doing in the Foreign Market to the present hour, and the prices are mu c h t h e same as yesterday.—Steamer just arrived.

Spanish 8i MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY. ASSAULT ON MR. FRENCH BY THE SONS OF MR. CORBETT. IF. Cobbett, jun., John M. Cobbett, and Richard Cobbett, were indicted for assaulting Mr. French, the barrister, at Kensington. Mr. French was examined, and (with other witnesses) proved the assault. He entered into and kept on a long speech with his usual pertinacity. Mr. PRENDERGAST was engaged as his Counsel, and was reproached by him with having turned against him. He was at last stopped by the Court. Mr. Ryler was called, but not examined. Mr. C. PHILLIPS, for the defendants, then made a most eloquent and energetic appeal to the Jury, who immediately found them all " Guilty, but under circumstances of strong provocation." Mr. Phillips then proceeded to put in an affidavit of Mrs. Cobbett, in which she denied having com plained to Mr. French as he had deposed. Mr. Prender gast applied for him to answer the affidavit, the Court re fused it, however, on finding that it went to contradict the evidence of Mr. French. The CHAIRMAN then sentenced Wm. Cobbett to pay a fine of 201. to the King, and John M. Cobbett and Richard Cobbett to pay a fine of 40s. each, and all of them to enter into their own recognizances of 100/. each to keep the peace. Covent Garden Theatre will open on Monday week with SHAKSPEARE'S Romeo and Juliet. Mr. DEN MAN, the gentleman who at the first meeting presented the Committee with twenty pounds, and tendered his services for one entire season, gratis, will perform the character of Paris. A young lady of highly-promising talents will personate Juliet for the first time, and CHARLES KEMBLE Romeo. Miss SMITHSON'S summer theatrical tour has contributed considerably to her dramatic fame and purse. The character allotted to her in the new forthcoming play of Mr. SHERIDAN KNOWLES, is said to be peculiarly suited to her talents. The first stone of the Trinity New Church was laid at Bristol yesterday. The Mayor, in the absence of the Bishop, presided on the occasion. COURT OF CONINION COUNCIL. (THIS DAY.)

The report was brought up and adopted. OFFICE OF SECONDARY. A memorial was presented by Mr. P. W. Crowther, relative to the office of Second try. . . The memorial was lead. It stated that the memo rialist had not received greater fees thm his predecessors, and that on the fiit'i of enjoying these fees, he gave 10,200/. for the office. After alluding to the Acts bear ing on the fees taken, the memorialist implored that if the Court should not avail itself of his proposal to resell the office to the Corporation, but should, in consideration of the continued payment into the Ct amber of the annual premium of Insurance of the sum of 5,0001., and on the interest on the said sum, being part of the purchase money, grant to the memorialist an annual sum of 4001., or any part, as shall make him to have a clear income of 1,0001 , and the memorialist wohld then forego or remit the fees, as distinguished from the legal fees alluded to in a recent Resolution of the Court. The Secondary made a few observations in support of the mcmoi ial. —The memorial wis refused. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PUBLIC SEWERS. A petition was presented from Mr. Cuff, praying to be heard on the subject of a new mode of forming the public Sewers of the City, with a view to more effectually cleansing the streets. A great number of questions were put to the petitioner, who was called to the bar on the subject of his plans, &c., and the course be had adopted to bring his plans before the Court. The Court was left discussing the subject of fees con nected with the office of Commiscioners of Sewers. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). GENERAL AVERAGE PRICE OF BRITISIT CORN, For the Week ended Sept.

WORDSWORTH, SOUTHEY, Professor WIL SON, De QUINCEY, and COLERIDGE, are the individuals generally known as the " Poets of the Lakes," because at one time, they all resided in the neighbourhood of wick, and were constant companioas and bon vivants, as far as related, at least, to three of them. They are now separated, and, we believe,-li•eldom meet or correspond. SountEr remains at Keswick.; Woanswormi, at Ryda Mount ; Wtr.soli, at Edinburgh ; COLERIDGE,At HSmp stead ; and the celebrated " Opium Eater" is gone to take possession of a family estate in the neighbourhood of Ken dal, which has devolved to him by the death of his mo ther.— Cumberland Packet. ARUNDEL.—The Commissioners of this port having determined that the dues on the dollars (in addition to which there was a quantity of gold in bars, the whole being of the value of 270,0001.) which were lately brought into Littlehampton harbour, should be exacted to the extent allowed by the Act of Parliament, the full amount was, in consequence, paid last Saturday, and the package detained by the collector was delivered up. The contractor for the conveyance of this gold and silver from Portsmouth to London, will be the loser by the transac tion. With reference to the statement in our paragraph of last week, that some pat t of the Arundel and Ports mouth Canal is now dry, it may be necessary to explain that the water has been let out of the canal for the purpose of deepening it. —Brighton Gazette. THE MURDER AT DUBLIN.—The inquest on THOMAS HANLON, so barbarously murdered by a body of combined workmen, seven of whom are in custody, was held before Sir Gxo. WHITEFORD, at Stephen's Hos pital, Dublin, on Saturday, when, after a lengthened ex amination, the Jury returned the following verdict : " We find that the said THOMAS HANLON came by his death in consequence of desperate wounds inflicted upon his person by a number of men, at present unknown, who, on Friday, the 18th instant, at Thomas-street, in the city of Dublin, between the hours of six and seven o'clock in the afternoon, did, with bludgeons and other weapons, at tack, and with most inhuman, barbarous, and premeditated . violence, murder the said THOMAS HANLON." CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL COM PANY.—BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. 21.—The case of JOHN WEBSTER, (charged with obtaining money from various persons on false pretences) was resumed yesterday at the Public-office. Mr. HENRY B. RICHARDS, the autko• rized agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company was examined. He denied all knowledge of the prisoner ; but admitted that, on the 11th of August, he entered into an agreement with BENNETT, by whom WEBSTER was employed, to provide him with a supply of men, from 16 to 45 fo►r exportation. On the 2d August, this agree ment was quashed in consequence of the non-performance of it by BENNETT. The prisoner was committed on the charge of defrauding BROKE and HOLDER of a guinea each ; but is remanded on several additional charges, one of which is the having received a guinea from an artisan, after the death of his employer, BENNETT. The improvement which we lately noticed as having taken place in the trade of Paisley, still continues, but it is still confined to the Thibet shawls and fine trim mings. All the weavers who had mountings, or were able to purchase them for the latter kind of work are now employed ; but there is still a number idle who do not come under this description. This revival has been both sudden and unexpected, but the best informed persons in the trade do not expect it to continue long, which makes the manufacturers backward in giving the weavers webs of any considerable length, or money to assist in purchasing mountings, consequently it is only the most respectable and comfortable class of weavers that are yet employed. Of all the kinds of work that have been manufactured in Paisley for many years past, the trimmings are the most beneficial to the inhabitants of the town generally. As they have not been reduced in price to the same extent as most other kinds, and they give employment to a great many branches of trade besides the weavers, therefore a con languishing tinuati traders of the present of that town,esentstirw and we shall be happy will beofgreatbenefitto the if enabled to notice its continuance.— Glasgow Chronicle. SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Our readers will find in our columns the in structions for the New Police. They are termed provisional, though, indeed, all regulations may be said to be provisional, for no scheme can be so contrived that experience shall not suggest the expediency of some alteration or modifica tion in it. We confess we like the instructions, which, generally speaking, are characterized by good sense and sagacity. No good will ever be effected, either in Police or in any other business, without the instrumentality of hope and fear. Responsibility is not alone sufficient; for, if the hope of advancement do not come to the aid of it, the duty may be done, but done tallier qualiter. In this scheme we find the motives to good conduct abundantly held out. Two or three years ago, when burglaries were exceed ingly common in the City of London, we sug-: gested as essential in any good Institution of police, a hierarchy, in which promotion shall be open from the bottom to the top of the scale, and in which the responsibility of each chief for his division, and the subaltern for his subdivi sion, would ensure,'as far as possible, justice in the various promotions. We are happy to find that in this scheme the interest of the various orders are made to harmonize, by making it the interest of the superior to appoint the best inferior, and the interest of the inferior to lend himself to the views of his superior. k.We have no doubt that the superior machinery of the new police will soon force the city function. aries to waive their privileges, and we shall thug have uniformity of system throughout the whole metropolitan district. At present only a part of the district is occupied. That part is formo into four divisions. To each division a police company is assigned, and a smaller police com pany is attached to the office of the Commis sioners, to be applicable for general purposes. The force for each division is considerable -1 Superintendent, 4 Inspectors, 16 Serjeantg, 144 Police Constables. The plan of operations is founded on the divi sion of labour. Each division is divided into eight sections, each section into eight beats. In the Outset it is very properly stated, that the ob ject to be attained is " the prevention of crime," and the test is certainly good. " When many offences are committed, it must appear to the Commissioners that the police is not properly conducted in that division, and the absence of crime will be considered the best proof of the complete efficiency of the police. In a ditisio9 where this security and good order has beeii effected, the officers and men belonging to it may feel assured that such good conduct will be noticed by rewards and promotion." The lowest in thescale is the Police Constable, whose pay is eighteen shillings a week, subject to certain deductions for clothes and lodging. This sum would, of course, on any scheme excluding pro motion, be utterly inadequate to secure good conduct in London ; but on the present scheme it will be better than a larger sum, because it will supply a more forcible motive to the con stable to exert himself to attain that promotion which is held out to him, as well as to earn.the extraordinary rewards assignable to meritorious conduct, as proved by the state of the spot placed under him. In the army, the soldier is assured of nothing but his pay and his pension but then the duty of the soldier is mere force and bravery. But the police constable has difficult duty assigned to him. He is very pro perly told in these instructions, that " every police constable in the force may hope to rise by . in telligence and good conduct to the superior sta tions; it is therefore recommended to each man to endeavour by studying these instructions, and by reflecting upon the nature of the duty he has to perform, to qualify himself for such promotion. But at the commencement he will most certainly recommend himself to notice by a diligent dis charge of his own duties, and a strict obedience to the commands of his superiors, recollecting, that he who has been accustomed to submit to discipline, will be considered best qualified to enforce it hereafter." Responsibility commences with this humble rank : " a particular portion of the section is committed to his care ; he will have previously received from his serjeant card, with the names of the streets, &c. forming his beat. He will be held responsible for th - e security of the lives, the safety of all property, of every person within his beat, and for the preservation of the peace and general good order of the whole, during the time he is on duty."— " It is, likewise, indispensably necessary that he should make himself perfectly acquainted with all the parts of his beat or section—with the streets, thoroughfares, courts, and houses. He will be expected to possess a knowledge also of the inhabitants of each house. It must be obvious to him that he will be much assisted in the performance of his duties by making himself acquainted with all such particulars ; without knowing them he cannot hope to be a really efficient Police Officer, nor expect to rise in the service." The Serjeant is responsible for the general conduct and good order of the nine men he has under him, so that to promote his advancement he has the strongest motive for conciliating their good-will and being just towards them. The Inspector has under turn four Serjeants and 36 men, and he again is responsible for their general conduct and good order ; and it is expected of him that he shall make himself well acquainted with the talents and general moral conduct of each individual.— The Superintendent of the Division has a wide range of duty, and consequently an exclusive responsibility. "He is responsible generally for every thing relating to the Police of his Division (keeping in mind that the grand object is the prevention of crime in every part of it)." Again, it is said that, " in observing with especial atten tion the actions of all :suspected persons within his Division, and in giving directions to his men for that purpose, he will keep in mind, that the prevention of crime, the great object of all their exertions, will be best attained by making it evi ' dent 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." We have not the slightest doubt that if this plan be strictly acted on,—punishment and promotion regularly, and not capriciously adjudged, being taken as the levers, the result must ere long be beneficial. The thing is new in this country, for we have no model in anything public of an Institution founded on merit. The difficulties they will have to struggle with in the outset will be great no doubt, because all the old officers whose interest was in time encouragement of crime, atw h il t le e ondeld Bailey, endeavour thwarttoo, whose them. incomesTlieprac m titio a i: n e l r y s p d owef e i Irpalteybnpvedo put tue i r i il ayn t r h mep e i urrr circulation prejudice ad e ot i irin t o t g ettlht beo a yad g ltie o hirm o ite d vt ocuw. he thieves : lid : tll n sh t ‘L c ni ) li f lsdine p lle r le,r o eisl - s: The thieves themselves are clever people, and L., :-.• 1 4 .. ...
