CATTLE MARKET..—.The show of beasts today amount ed to 1,412 : —vie. 414 three-years-olds and upwards ; 373 two•years-olds ; 434 stirks, including Irishers ; 119 highlanders; 48 queys, and 23 cows. The drove eattl, taken generally, were a very fine show, and made up prin cipally of Gallowtlys ; business in the fore part of the day was very slow and scarcely any thing was done, but in the evening we observed the purchaser's tar-mark upon a nuns_ her of lots ; although, perhaps, the better half, both io point of quality and numbers, were driven off without it Prices met with no variation, and may be stated at from 9/. to'll guineas for four-years-olds, and from 71. to 8./. 10s. for three-years-olds. We can speak, however, a little more favourably of business in small cattle, dealing went on at :a round rate throughout the:day, and in the evening the most of them were disposed of: the lowness of prices, however, were grievously complained of, still we are not aware they were lower than those of the last few weeks. Irisliers likewise went off better than usual, and we have seldom seen Pat in better spirits. Cows were heavy of sale, and low in price, and few of them were sold.

W e have made inquiries of persons from various quar ters during the last week, and the result of those inquiries have been a concurrence of opinion, that the plantations in general exhibit no appearance to justify the apprehension that there will not be an abundant crop ; and, indeed, with many people, the apprehension is the other way. —Maid stone Gazette. The general report concerning the Hops is, that they are looking renaarkably well ; indeed, their appearance is far too promising to hope that the price will be a remune rating one. The mould is to be seen in several parts; but this will only affect the quality not the quantity of the Hops. The duty is expected, by those who have long been conversant with the subject, to reach 200,000/. —Maid stone Journal. THE POLICE OF THE METROPOLIS.

TROPOLIS, AND OF THE DISTRICTS ADJOINING THERETO (cosimenD rfton OUR PAPER OE YESTERDAY.) AGENCY OF POLICE OFFICERS. With respect to the agency- of police officers in these transactions, the evidence before your Com mittee is confined to those of the City and of Bows street. No others have, it is believed, been engaged in the negotiations about the property of bankers; and though general imputations upon other offices have been thrown out by some who acknowledged their own delinquency, your Committee have no proof of such transactions, and wish their remarks to be understood as limited to the two sets of offi cers above mentioned. In Sir Richard Birnie's exa mination before the Police Committee of 1822, the following statements occur : " Are you aware at all of a practice which is supposed to take place, of persons who are robbed coming to terms with the robber through the medium of the officers ?—I have heard of such a thing, but I never could bring it home." " From the manner in which the offices are regulated, and the means the Magistrates have of obtaining informa tion as to the conduct of their officers, that species of crime to which the late question relates, could not be committed to any great extent without your detecting it ?—I think it impossible ; the Magistrates must have the means of de tecting it." In his examination before this Committee, Sir R. Birnie had again stated as follows—" Do you conceive that the character of the police officers is much better now than it used to be, prior to the year 1822 ; that they are of a better description of men ?—I think they are. " From that circumstance you consider that they are not concerned now, as you have reason to believe that they were in former years, in negotiating be tween thieves and persons who had been robbed of their property ?—I do certainly say, that I never knew an instance where I had any thing like posi tive reason to suspect they were concerned ix any thing of the kind since the year 1821." [The year in which Sir Richard began to take charge of the office.] " Previous to the years 1821 or 1822," he states, " I had been told that some of the old officers had been concerned in it, some of the old stagers that belonged to the office." During the latter years, the attention of MagistrateS must have been often called to it by general rumours and detailed statements in the newspapers. Sir Richard admits himself to have had suspicions formerly, and that subsequent inquiries have been made, as, when questioned, whether in the late cases of parcels being stolen' from coaches being restored, he had been able to trace any connection between the police officers and the parties who had lost their property? He replied--" Certainly not; and I will venture to say that in one particular case, where it was roundly asserted that it was done through the medium of a Police Officer, I have reason to believe that it is un true.' " Mr. Halls also avers :—" I had .my suspi cions, but I had no knowledge of it ; and so far from having any knowledge of it, I had given my mind, if possible, to ascertain the mea ns o f acquiring a knowledge of it." An inquiry also was instituted by the Home Office, during the last year, int o a compromise, in which an officer was rumoured to have been concerned, without any discovery being made, though.every officer in the establishment was sworn and examined. This ignorance could not therefore arise from attention not having been called to the subject. Your Committee having discovered, that through those years compromises have repeatedly taken place by the intervention of police officers, and a regular system to facilitate thera has been gradually maturing, conceive it is at least incumbent upon Government to exact a more vigilant and in telligent superintendence generally, and more active inquiries whenever suspicion shall arise. Your Committee think it right to state, that; however readily the officers of Bow-street and the City Police have undertaken the negociatiori of these compromises, they frequently seem to have been. induced to it without a corrupt or dishonest motive; and individuals of them have been satisfied with a mirth less sum for effecting the compromise, than the reward offered for the apprehension of the ' guilty parties. Suspicion had arisen in one case,that 8001. more was received by the officer who nego ciated than the thieves asked or received; and in another, 501 was paid to procure restitution of 5001. and neither the 5001. nor the 50/. were ever restored. In no case, however, does it appear that any one of them stipulated for a reward before hand; nor con nived at the escape of a thief; nor in fact ever nego ciated a compromise, when he possessed any likely clue that might lead to the detection of the guilty. Your Committee have before adverted to the igno rance in which the Magistrates appear to have been kept as to these practices by their officers. It should seem, from the evidence of Sir Richard Birnie, that they only supposed a very small number of corn promises to have takers.place, arid those through the medium of attorneys. Looking, however, to the regular system and undisturbed security with which the officers acted, it would not be strange if they should have conceived that the Magistrates did not disapprove; and entertaining the same opinion as Sir Richard Birnie, " that the Magistrates must have means of detecting them," should have thought them disinclined to interfere, unless some unlucky publicity forced these practices u'on their notice. It has been distinctly asserted to your Committee by officers, that they had the sanction of higher persons of their establishment for engaging in such negociations. This, however, has been as distinctly contradicted; but that a belief in the connivance of the Magistrates has existed, is corroborated by the evidence cf an officer long retired from Bow-street, and or. whom no such charge has been axed. He hes said, " If the men who have been before this Committee had been cautioned by the Magistrates riot to interfere in any such thing, I am convinced that part of these men would never have interfered — t h e y have thought they were doing a good thing for the party losing the property, and that no no tice would be taken of it." Sir Robert Baker also, when asked concerning such compromises, " would you have considered, if it had come to your knowledge, that it was a crime ?" answers, " not merely the recovery of the goods; if they connived at the escape of the parties, I should say it was a crime, not otherwise." This, it should be remarked, refers to a period . previous to 1821, from which year Sir Richard Birnie more particularly dates his disbelief of such transactions. Your Committee think the abolition of the system for the future of much greater importance than the punishment of former offenders, who may, as often repeated in the evi dence, have considered themselves as undertaking nothing criminal, arid many of whom may without doubt be usefully retained in their situations. There fore, without intendi ng to li m i t di scre ti on w i t h re spect to individual cases, your Committee do not :onsider that the mere circumstance of a police offis I cer having negociated a compromise necessarily dic tates his dismissal. Your Committee deem it advisable that some consideration and revision of the law relating to this subject should be undertaken. They cannot state the history of the statute 4 Geo. I. c. 11., better than in the words of Mr. Justice Blackstone :—" An eighth offence, is that of taking a reward under pretence of helping the owner to his stolen goods. This was a contrivance carried to a great length of villainy in the beginning of the reign of Geo. I.: the confede rates of the felons thus disposing of stolen goods, at a cheap rate, to the owners themselves, and thereby stifling all farther inquiry. The famouS Jonathan Wild had under him a well-disciplined corps of thieves, who brought in all their spoils to him, and he kept a sort of public-office for restoring them to the owners at half-price : to prevent which audacious practice, to the r u i n an d in defiance of public justice, it was enacted by stat. 4 Geo. 1. c. 11, that who ever shall take a reward under the pretence of help ing any one to stolen goods, shall suffer as the felon who stole them ; unless he causes such principal felon to be apprehended and brought to trial, and gives evidence against him.' Wild, still continuing in his old practice, was upon this statute at last con victed and executed." This statute was repealed, and its provisions re enacted last Session, by stat. 7 and 8 Geo. IV. c. 29. s. 58 ; but which makes the offence no longer capital, and limits the highest punishment to trans portation for life. The statute 6 Geo. I. c. 23 s. 9. (which is still unrepealed) enacts a reward of forty pounds to the person prosecuting any such offenders to conviction. It is to be observed, that while these severe penalties against such compromises have been provided, the offence of compromising felony or theft bote (as termed by older law writers), to perfect which there must be an actual agreement not to prosecute, and connivance at the impunity of the felon, has continued, and still remains a misdemeanor at common law, punishable only by fine and imprison. ment. Lord Coke indeed lays down, that if the owner of stolen goods, in addition to the offence of theftbote, "receive the thief himself, and aid and maintain him in his felony, then is he accessary to the felony," viz. of robbing, himself. It seems that for many years the statute 4 Geo. I. c. 11, has been very ineffectual, perhaps arising merely from the diffi culty of detecting such offences, to which Sir R. Birnie seems to impute it; as he says, " I believe there is law enough against compounding a felony, but the great thing is to get a discovery." The se verity of the punishment, under stat. 4 Geo. I. c. 11, may have discouraged prosecetions ; or the de cisions, that money or bank notes were not within the meaning of such Acts, may have afforded the officers a pretence for considering themselves as com mitting no crime in most of the late compromises. This latter omission has been rectified by the Act of last Session, the provisions of which have, it is hoped, had a beneficial effect on various offenders. One officer has stated, that his brethren lied agreed "to give up all transactions of the sort ; as they thought some mischief would come of it under Mr. Peel's Act." But it does not appear that this agree ment took place till after the inquiry before alluded to had been instituted by order of the House Office. Another witness says, with respect to the " Fences," " I know that these persons, since the passing of Mr. Peel's Bill, are more timid of receiving property than they were before." It is extraordinary that the police offisers, with the severe Act of Geo. I. in existence, should, as it were, have considered them selves as committing no crime ; and your Committee infers some deficiency in the law, which the statute of last Session may not have completely remedied. Your Committee, therefore, submit, as well worthy of consideration, whether it would not be advisable to make it at least a misdemeanour in the party paying a reward for the restitution of stolen goods, as well as punishing the party receiving it. This has been recommended by an intelligent witness, well acquainted with such parties and the nature of such transactions. The advertising a reward for stolen goods, "no questions asked," was by statute 25 Geo. 11. c. 36., subjected to a penalty of 501.; which provision was re-enacted by Mr. Peel's Bill of last Session, before cited. Your Committee, therefore, see no injustice in making the payment of that reward, a substantive offence, the published offer of which has so long been subject to a penalty. Your Committee, moreover, submit, that the due gradation of crime would be better regarded, by affixing to the offence of compounding felony a higher punishment than that of merely paying or taking a reward for the return of stolen goods. Whether, in order to effect this, it may be advisable to mitigate the punishment now enacted by 7 and 8 Geo. IV. c. 29. for the latter offence, or to make the compounding a higher felony,• belongs to future de liberation on the details of the measure. Your Committee are well aware that it may seem severe to proceed with rigour against an act, which at first sight contains nothing repugnant to honesty : namely, helping an owner to regain, or he himself regaining, the property of which he had been robbed. But their inquiries have too satisfactorily convinced them, that the frequency of these seemingly blame less transactions, have led to the organization of a system which undermines the security of all valuable property, which gives police officers a direct interest that robberies to a large amount should not be pre vented ; and which has established a set of "putters up," and " fences," with means of evading, if not defying the arin of the law ; who are wealthy enough, if large rewards are offered for their detection, to double them for their impunity; and who would in one case have given 1,0001. to get rid of a single witness. Some of these persons ostensibly carry on a trade; one, who had been tried formerly for robbing a coach, afterwards carried on business as a Smithfield drover, and died worth, it is believed, 15,000/. Your Committee could not ascertain how many of these persons there are at present, but four of the principal have been pointed out. One is the farmer of one of the greatest turnpike trusts in the metropolis. He was formerly tried for receiving the contents of a stolen letter; and as a receiver of tolls now employed by him, was also tried for stealing that very letter, being then a postman, it is not too much to infer, that the possession of these turnpikes is not unserviceable for the purposes of depredation. Another has, it is said, been a surgeon i n t h e army. The two others of the four have no trade, but live like men of property; and one of these, who appears to be the chief of the whole set, is well known on the turf, and is stated, on good grounds, to be worth 30,000/. It is alarming to have observed how long these persons have successfully carried on their plans of plunder; themselves living in affluence and ap parent respectability, bribing confidential servants to betray the transactions of their employers, possessing accurate information as to the means and precautions by which valuable parcels are transmitted; then corrupting others to perpetrate the robberies planned in consequence, and finally receiving, by means of these compromises, a large emolument, with secure impunity to themselves and their accomplices. It is scarcely necessary to point cut the difficulties which must obstruct these persons, even after. they may have amassed a fortune, in betaking to any ho nest pursuit. This, your Committee have evidence, is deeply felt by themselves; and the fear of being them; andetriiityed of b b y theireeoming confederates, objects for should sacrifice they desert Police, t o w h om t h ey at present consider t h e mselves theelves of use, leaves little hope of any stop to their career but by detection and justice, The owners of stolen preperty have thus purchased indemnity for psent losses, by stren g th en i ng an d co ntinuing a system, which r e - acts upon t h emse l ves an d the community, re by reiterated depredations, committed with almost certain success and safety. Your Committee believe they have not drawn a stronger picture than the evidence before them warrants; and whatever measures may be necessary to abolish such a system, such measures, however severe, should be provided. DEFECT BY WHICH FORGERS ESCAPB. In further improvement of the law, your Commit- • t „ ‘'sk . •.. • - . . tee hi4.1 , ,e1k - ad brelipt-ikujie th6ileonsideration `ny Mr. Gates (a ski or .1f extensive practice, aia mach employed by baskets in the prosecution of for gery cases), the legal defect by which forgers Vel; generally esteipe punishment ; and as the opinions of this gentleman are given somewhat in detail they cannot be submitted to the House in a clearer way than in the following extract from his evidence : Have the goodness to give the Committee any M -formation you can upon the subject of forgery ?—My attention is more particularly called to the subject of forgery ; and the difficulties that present themselves with reference to that crime, arise more in respect of the existing law on that subject than the police; and, if it is not foreign to the object for which the Committee are met, and they will permit me, I will state what I consider to be a very great omission or defect in the law upon that subject. Ido not know that can illustrate it better than by stating a ver:e recent case. A person had obtained the money for three forged cheques upon the house of the cheques are entirely in the hand-writing of —, but he cannot be tried for the forgery of them for svant of a venue ; for, as the law at present stand:, although you can show the whole of the cheque or bill of sese change to be in the hand -writing of a certain indivi dual, you cannot prosecute for the forgery unless you can show where it was written, and in 19 cases out Inch is very seldom of 20 that is impossible ; thus the person committing unless he were the u th t e te the case, as the bill or cheque is generally giveu to some porter or boy, of whom there are too many f r t el g ef ry the es i c n a s p tr e u s m p e u n n t is at e , n :‘ , - loitering about the streets who, for a shilling or sir, pence, would take the cheque to the banker's, where, if it is discovered at the counter to be a forgery ; the man is on the look out at the door or in the neigh bourhood to ascertain that fact, and immediately he finds his messenger does not fetal] within the time: by which he supposes he could get the money, he is gone, and before you can get out of tile house he is out of the way, by which means the greateet crimi nal escapes punishment. Would not a Jury, from the presentation of the cheque in Westminster, presume the writing of it there ?- 7 -No, the rule is this : supposing you detect a person who is the forger in the uttering, you can only indict him successfully for the uttering ; and altheugh we have counts in the indictment for the forgery, it ie the invariable rule of the Judges in elle:ging the Jury (except in cases where the party has been seen writing the instrument, or there it other evideeee tantamount to that fact) to tell them, as there is no evidence where the forging took place, they cannot find a verdict of guilty on the counts for forging, but they may use the proof of hand-writing as bringing home to the person a guilty knowledge of the utter ing knowing it to be forged, that ie in cases where the forger himself is in custody, which was the ease of —; but as we cannot prove where the writing of the cheques took place, end the pereou who sits tered them cermet be identified, it is impossible to convict him in either of those cases. Is there any other difficulty that presents itself in prosecuting that crime ?--No; those who are in the habit of committing forgeries confidently screen themselves by this defect in the law ; and there is not one case in a hundred where you can get a Con viction for the forgery. If an Act of Parliament ssae to pass to remedy that defect, the crime of foigery must, in my opinion, of necessity decrease, FLASH HOUSES RESORTED TO BY THIEVE, GAMBLERS, &c. • Of the evils that prevail in counteraction of every plan anti regulation that has for its object the im provement of the habits of the lower classes, none works with more'dreadful certainty than the obscure houses which are opened in every part of the town under various designations, but better known under the comprehensive tern' of " Flash Douses;" they are the - resort of notorious thieVe,s,,.,of 'professed gamblers, of idle and dissolute persons of both sexce ; are frequently kept without license, and never in con formity to the provisions enacted by law; from the penalties of which, it has been proved to your Com mittee that the keepers become secured by their annual contributions to common informers, and by the accustomed negligence or connivance of public and parochial authorities. To these sinks of profligacy and dissipation, your Committee learnt with concern, that sundry Police Officers are (as has been stated to have been the case in former times) in the habit of resorting; tinder the specious pretext that their object is to see, and to become acquainted with the persons of notorious characters, in order that they may the mote readily counteract them when in the pursuit of plunder, aud secure their persons when become amenable to law., But should such really be the genuine purpose under. which they act, the objection would scarce be miti gated ; such however, is evidently net the motiese Habits of intimacy arc formed with those that ought to shun their presence ; in proof of which, sanctioned by the imitation of the very keepers of these brothels, officers participate in the annual feasts and entertain ments prepared to welcome and to gratify the abandoned aHd accustomed frequenters of such places. But none of the Justices, and scarce any of the officers, have defended the practice on the score. of necessity. Your Committee therefore trust that the Magistrates will be required to take decisive and effectual steps for the suppression of this long en dured nuisance, by the prosecution of every unlicensed victualler, and by compelling those that are licensed to observe such good rule and order as can alone warrant the renewal of their license. Motives of equity towards the licensed and orderly publican, claim such an exercise of magisterial authority motives of sound policy towards the community at large prohibit any licence or act, be it of commission or omission, that can serve as a cloak or a protection to a disorderly publican. MEASURES ADVISABLE FOR THE IMPROVE. MENT OF THE GENERAL POLICE. Your Committee have reserved for the last head of their Repert, the suggestion of such measures as it may be advisable to adopt for the improvement of the general Police of the Metropolis and its neigh bourhood. The various establishments connected with the Police are so fully detailed in the Report of the Committee which was appointed in the year 182, that it is unnecessary to refer to them in detail in tliiE. Report. It is well knewn that the City of London has a separate systera of Police and of Watch by night, under the controul of the municipal authorities. In the City of Westminster there is an establish ment of eighty constables, annually chosen at a Court of Burgesses, from pe r s ons carry i ng o n trade, who are permitted, unde r ce r t a i n regu l a tions, to perform the office by deputy. for the protection of property, This consists of seven officers of Polies, each p re , siding over a 'certain district, with a fixed number of constables attached to each, for the assistance of the Magistrates in the discharge of their ordinary duties; of the Thames Police Office, with an establishment applicable to the general purposes of ' of about ninety officers, and the maintenance of order on the River; and of the Bow-street office, which, acting under the direc-- dons of the Secretary of State for the Home Dew tment has the immediate s uperintendance of tile par 1 . olis and its neighbourhood, with the in the ex ception of the City of London. This force is divided into three 1 TI C USSCS : .le. Horse Patrol, patrolling the great roads within about twenty miles of the Metropolis ; the Dismounted Patrol, stationed in the environs ; andthe Foot Patrol, charged with the duty ofpatrolling the • streets, by night and by day. The extent of each of these establishments, 'the ' annual expense, and the nature of the particular ' e i ff o e l i e c t e i c i e n f t o h r e ce metrop duties assigned to each, will be found fully set forth Appendix, No. .., . In addition to these establishments is the i\ ightly • Watch, to which is committed,, in a great degree, the maintenance of the public j)4aee, and the guar slianship of the persons and propeesy.of the inhabit ants of the metropolis and its; viols? n. during that. period of the 24 hours when they inthtitist exposed to danger. It is scarcely necessary to state, that the Watch, where it exists, is a parochial establishment. Each parish, which has authority for theft ',La ) ... ) ... 1 ... ... ) N, _ rurch.
