COURT or OIVIMON,COtYNCIL. A Court of Coiiimon Council was fiel d-yesterday, . at which several reports - of Committees were re ceived. ' Mr. BUTTERWORTU presented a petition nu: mereusly signed by inhabitants of Fleet-street, Shoe lane, and the neighbourhood, complaining of the manner in which it was proposed to conduct the alterations in Fleet-market. The petitioners stated, that'when these alterations were first agreed on, it was Very generally understood that the streets adjacent to the market were to be left the width of 50'feet or thereabout—an opinion which was sane tioned and confirmed by the plan delivered from the BOard of Works at Guildhall, to those architects who were desirous of offering plans pursuant to the ad vertisement issued under the authority of that Court.; but that the petitioners now learned that it was intended to leave them only 30 feet- , -a width wholly inadequate to the convenient supply of, and access to, the market. The petitioners therefore prayed that the Court would take this important subject into their immediate and serious considera tion, and that they would give orders that Stone cutter-street and that part of Shoe-lano which adjoins the new market be left of the width of 50 feet, or at least of the width formerly ordered by the Coma, as described in the plan advertised; or that the Court would grant such other relief as in their wisdom might seem meet. He should move that it be re ferred to a Committee to take the petition into con sideration, and to report upon the same at the earliest opportunity.—Agreed to. THE POLICE. Mr. Alderman VENABLES, according to notice, moved, that a " Report from the Nightly Watch Committee, with sundry proposed regulations in respect thereof, be read." The report and proposed regulations were then read. We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, of your sub-committee, Co whom it was referred to consider . the referen ce f rom t h e C ourt of Common Council of the sth of April last, relative to the nightly watch, do certify; that this worshipful committee having re solved that it was expedient, as far as practicable, that there should be one uniform method observed throughout this city as to the time the patrols and watchmen go on and off their duty, as to the manner in which that duty is performed, and as to the pay received by them, in order that the duties of the watchmen •tday be better understood by the public, and that the arrangements of the day police, with regard to the ,evening and morning duty, may be more effectually regulated for the public security; we have proceeded in the consideration of the sub, ject upon the above basis, and having -applied for returns not only from the several wards of this city, but also from sundry other districts of the metropolis, in order to obtain the most full and• satisfactory in formation of the mode generally adopted for the re gulation of the watch, we have caused an abstract thereof to be hereunto annexed, for the information of this worshipfurcommittee, as also a digest of the returns from the several wards of this city. We beg leave further 'to certify that we have been attended by Mr. Nev . ille Brown and Mr. Wil liam Wadham Cope, the two Marshals : Mr. John Cowtan, the superintendent of the day patrol ; and ,Mr. William Merchant, the superintendent of the night patrol, who were severally examined upon the .mode at present adopted for regulating the watch within this city, and of any improvement that was proper and requisite to be made therein ; a copy of whose evidence is hereunto annexed for the infor mation of this worshipful committee. On reference to this evidence, and to the accompanying returns, your committee will see that the day patrol of this city do not come on duty till nine o'clock in the morning, nor remain on duty later than seven o'clock in the evening; and that during the intervals between these hours and those at which the nightly watch is on duty,—which intervals consist in some cases of as much as eight hours out of the twenty foul-, and in no case of less than four hours out of the twenty-four,---the public is left almost entirely without any protection; and your committee will also see that the concurrent testimony of all the of ficers who have been examined goes to prove the almost necessary consequence of this want of pro teetion, which is, that a very large portion of the ; 'depredations committed within this city are effected within,these intervals. • Upon an attentive consideration of all these circum stances, your committee being fully convinced of the necessity of an alteration in the present arrange ment of the nightly watch of this city, and consi dering the importance of forming and maintaining a system for the security of the public property du ring the whole of the twenty-four hours, are deci dedly of opinion, that if the following regulations were adopted, these important objects would be more effectually secured, and we accordingly re commend them for adoption to this worshipful committee. That a system of early and late patrolling having already been partially adopted in some of the wards with beneficial effects, the same should be established in every ward, and that a number of patrols, not ex ceeding one-fourth, nor less than one-eighth, of the number of watchmen of each ward, he appointed to patrol the same during the intervals of the city day patrol and the nightly watch being on duty ; and th6ir districts or divisions for this purpose. should be accurately defined by the Alderman, Deputy, and Common Council, so that the whole ward may be under their inspection. Such men to come upon the said duty during the winter months of Novem ber, December, January and February, at five o'clock in the evening, and remain until the watch is set, and to come on again one hour before the watch leave, until eight o'clock in the morning. And during the remainder of the year to come upon duty at six o clock in the evening, and remain until the watch is set, and to come on again at the time of the watch • leaving, until eight o'clock in the morning; and that for the purpose of filling up the only blank that will then remain, it should be re commended to the magistrates to give directions for the day patrol to come earlier on duty, so as to be actually employed therein by eight o'clock in the morning at the latest, instead of the hour of nine as at present. The general watch in all the wards should come _and remain on duty at the following times : From Nov. 10 to Feb. 10, from 8 evening to 7 morning. Feb. 10 to May 10, 8 do. 6 do. May 10 to Aug. 10, 9 do. 5 do. Aug- 10 to Nov 10 8 do. 6 do, That th e station of each i watchman should be de vi a d t e c d h m b y a lot u i n l d e b v e e r t y w ow nightsa rd ni g i t successionn y, and that n o n o the same beat. That a system of relief of two hours out upon duty, and one h our in, should be adopted in every ward. That the Act of Parliament of the 10th Geo. IL, for regulating the nightly watch within this city, re quiring the Alderman, Deputy, and Common Coun cilmen to order, and set down in writing, at what stands it is fit the watchmen should be placed, and in what manner, and how often, it should be required of them to go their rounds; the same should, in all respects, - be strictly abided by, so that each beat be fully and accurately defined, and that each beat should be traversed by the watchman four times at the least in every hour. That superintendents should b e appointed in all the wards, in a prop or ti on of one such superintend ent to not less than six, or more than ten ordinary watchmen, whose duty it should be to inspect the state of each division or beat of the ward alternately throughout the night, taking care that the relief is accurately made, and that the watchmen perform their duty correctly in all particulars; and for which such superintendent shall be held responsible, the amount of whose pay should be at the discretion of the ward authorities, and in proportion to the ser vices rendered. That one fixed rate of payment should be adopted in every ward for all the watchmen, at and after the rate ,of 24d. per hour, with the exception of the pa trols and superintendents before alluded to. That no watch-boxes be in future allowed in any of the wards -of this city ) it, appearing to your sub committee' that they have gradually been discontinu ed in a majority of the warda•with edvahtage. That when any man is' discharged for neglect of duty, or other misbehaviour, the beadle of the ward where the case may occur should be directed to send his name and residence to the Marshals, that they may enter the same in a book to be provided and kept for that purpose, to enable them to give infor mation to any other ward, in case of such party ap plying for employment as a watchman, that .he may be prevented from being again employed in that capacity; and that henceforth no person be engaged as a watchman who shall. be above the age of forty ' years, in conformity with the 27th section of the .Act of Parliament of the 3d of the reign of his pre sent Majesty, cap. 55 . entitled " An Act for the more effectual administration of the office of ,a Jus tice of the Peace in and near the metropolis, and for the more effectual prevention of depredations on the liver Thames and its vicinity for seven years.'! Un der which Act, it is lawful for the Alderman and Common Council of the 'respective wards of this city, to' make such allowance to superannuated watchmen, beadles, or patrols, as they shall think proper, the same to be, paid out of the watch rate, which we recommend to be carried into execu tion where requisite, under due limitations and restrictioni. "We beg leave further to certify, that having con sidered that part of the returns which relates to the number of watchmen employed in the several wards of this city, which is .as great as in the reign of Queen Anne, when the darkness of the streets ob liged them to be stationary, and also the evidence adduced before us thereon, we-are of opinion with reference to their extent, and in regard of the gene ral population of this city as compared with that of the adjoining . districts of the Metropolis, that in some of the wards the number is more than milli dent, and a reduction might. With propriety be made therein, arid which would effect a material saving--a measure especially to be desired in those wardS that have not hitherto adopted the system of employing morning and evening patrols, in order to meet any in crease of expenditure that may arise by carrying that recommendation into execution. And we are fur ther of opinion, that by a system of discipline formed upon the basis before allud e d t o; b y a judicious se lection of the superintending watchmen; by en couragements for correct.and faithful performance of duty ; and a constant and severe notice of all cases of negligence or inattention, the nightly watch may be made more available for the general protection .and security of the inhabitants of this city; without . any material additional burdens being imposed upon them in respect thereof. And we recommend to this Worshipful Commit tee, to make their report to the Court of Common Council, as early as they conveniently can, in order that if the said Court should agree therewith, provi sions may be inserted in the 'Watch Act for the en suing year, for the duly and effectually carrying the same into execution. (Signed, &c.) Mr. Alderman VENABLES said, it was not his ntention to detain the Court with any very lengthy observations either upon the real or alleged defects of the present system, or upon the consequences which had resulted from that system. He must however observe, that the police of the city of Lon don had not, in his opinion, had all the justice done them which they deserved. In weighing their me rits, it ought not to be forgotten how many depre dations, over which they could have no control, were committed from that change which had of late years taken place in the inhabitants of the city of London, who were now in the habit of leaving town, for no inconsiderable period, without, to say the least of it, any thing like an adequate protection for their houses. It was owing to the irregularity which now . prevailed in the time of watchmen coming off and going on their beats, that the marshalmen found it extremely difficult, and sometimes impossible, to discharge the duties with which they were intrusted. If, however, the detail of every ward was clearly laid down, there could be no difficulty either on the part of the marshalmen or of the inhabitants in satisfying themselves whether the watchmen performed or neglected their duty. The .necessity of this unifor mity was apparent in every point in which the sys tem was considered. Another great defect had been remedied. The day-patrol did not come on till nine o'clock in the morning, and they went off at seven in the evening. Now the watch was not set until between eight and nine, and they went off their beats in the morning before the day-patrol came en. For this a remedy had been proposed, as well as a suggestion that the time at which the watch was set should be uniform. In some wards it was at one hour, and in others at another. This was a great defect. It had also been recommended that there should be an uniformity in the rate of payment. A difference in this respect naturally gave rise to jealousy and dis content. The Committee had thought that 2d. an hour ought to be the rate of payment. He was aware that some gentlemen thought, this too little, and wished the rate to be 3d. an hour, urging that an increase of salary was productive of better con duct. The Committee had thought Slid. enough ; but this was a point which might be discussed sub sequently. The appointment of superintendents whose duty it would be constantly to inspect each ward, who were to be answerable for the conduct of the watchmen, and whose attention to their du ties would bo rewarded as it deserved, was one, the efficacy of which every body must acknowledge. Would any one think of leaving 30 or 40 men in a warehouse without some check,—without giving to some one or more of them the authority to superintend and oversee the rest ? He was sure that no man in his senses would do so. The appoint ment of these superintendents would no doubt, greatly improve the quality of the watchmen.— One other benefit, by no means to be overlooked, would also result from this. Indecent females, wh o I paraded the streets to the annoyance of modest women, and to the danger of men's property, would be speedily removed; and none but such persons would be molested. He was willing to believe that the present arbitrary system of clearing the streets, committed to persons over whom there was no check, was not unfrequently oppressive, insulting, and unjust. Then, again, the change of station was a most important alteration, from which much good might be safely expected. The Committee had re commended that no watchman should be allowed to go on the same beat two nights successively, and 'farther, that the beat of each watchman should be decided by lot; so that it would be impossible for any one of them to know to what part he was destined for the sight. Nothing was so likely to produce mischief as the continuance of watchmen on any Rarticular beat for any length of time. Local acquaintances were sure to result. They became intimate with the women of the town who,paraded the same beat for any thing but the protection of Passengers—with thieves, who tampered with them —with servants, which seldom proved an advantage to either party, or to thei. masters—with hackney cvac and others quite as little d es i ra bl e — a ll from l a constant change of s t a t ion , must c f necessity`hichiin:ei' be avoided. The Committee had also proposed to remove all the watch-boxes; he thought this, in the event of the other propositions being adopted, by no means an important question. Of this, however, he was quite sure, that if all the boxes were removed ‘vithout making any other change in the system, the consequence would be that watchmen would very soon find more pleasant quarters to take their nap in than those which had been removed—places, too, where there might be more inducement to frequency than, at best, the inconveniences and the s o li tu d e of a watch .)—The C omm i ttee h a d that watc h men were l evidenceOxuffordeodiA a this laugh.)--The in the habit of leaving some those persons sleeping who were wards, in , w hich their beat lay, and where there objection in in order that they might take theirlYpaid to keep awake, as na an in an adjacent ward, where the same objection did not prevail to so great an extent, orl hh same means of discovering this neglect ndistltrb undisturbed did not In not i London, the number of wat h glen antj patrols amounted to 757—almost an - army. By the re turns, it appeared that the citizens of London, wheri compared with those of the out-parishes, had watch men in the proportion of throe and a half to one.— (A laugh; and cries of " Hear.")—lf, then, it was true that the city of London was not well watched,. it was clear that prot ec ti on did not b e ar ' an y rat i o to the number of watchmen. It 'was not his intention to move, at that time, th a t th e regu l at i ons proposed by theiCommittee should be adopted immediately, but that they should. be printed, in order that the Court might have time to take them into their con , . sideration by the next Court day. At the next meeting he supposed that the regulations might be ordered to be incorporated in the annual bill. He would only add, that he knew that the late Secre tary of State had devoted much attention to the subject before them, and that he had intended to revise the whole system of general watching. The subject was also under the consideration of the pre sent Secretary of State for the Home Department, and he had no doubt that some alteration would speedily be made in the system. By the returns which he had obtained from the office of the Secre tary for the Home Department, it appeared that from 1814 to 1820, the crime of burglary bad in creased by more than three-fourths. In the city of London that crime had increased tenfold in' the last seven years. Mr. Alderman ATKINS said that the press had done more by their exposure of certain practices than any police in the world could effeet. : Of what service was it that the police sometimes detected the artifices to which thieves resorted, if the public generally were not informed of and thus put on their guard against them ? This could not be done but by the reports which were published in the public journals. He thought, . however, that the police of the city of London bad been much misrepresented. The motion for printing the report was, then agreed to. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER MEETING, 18327. • DONCASTER, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. Ai r e are happy to state that the settling for the $i Leger has gone, off very smoothly, not a single defanitet having yet been talked of. There are many who suffer to a great extent by the race, but there is not one who attri butes the defeat of Mameluke to anything but the unlooked.: for circumstances Mentioned by us yesterday ; and all parties agree that he was rode with remarkable skill. We really think that no north country jockey could have rode Matilda with such excellent judgment as Robinson ; they might have rattled her along, but they could not have kept her at such steady and good running to the end of the race, at the same time, there can be no doubt that, single-hand ed, Mameluke could beat her easy. The whole of yesterday evening was devoted to the making up of the books and striking balances, and this morning the New Rooms were furnished with additional accommodation for the immense numbers which flocked in to the settling. The first to' come, and the last to go, was Mr. Gully, who never quitted till he had satisfied every demand upon him with cheerfulness; he loses, an immense sum. The business of paying and receiving took a considerable time, and the races did not commence till a later hour than usual. The Gold Cup race to-morrow is expected to be a wry fine one. Fleur de Lis and Memnon again meet. Mu latto, Actaeon, Mameluke, and some others are also in it, and it will no 'doubt be a close affair. The betting is 5 to 4 on Fleur de Lis (taken) S to 1 aget Mulatto, 4 to 1 agst Memnon, 4 to 1 aget any other. The Duke of Devonshire was again on the course; taking his station in the Judges' Stand ; besides his Grace, there were the Duke of Leeds, Lords Worcester, Blandford, Queensberry, Uxbridge, Milton, Fitzwilliam, Wharneliffe, and most of the noblemen and others before given by us. The day's sport was confined to two races: of which the following is an authentic return :—. The Foal Stakes of 100 soya. each, h. ft. for three-yr old colts, Set. 71b. fillies, S. 41b. One mile and a half. (12 Subs.) Hon. E. Petre'e eh c Granby walked over.

Lady Georgiana jumped off at a tolerable good pace, with Fanny Daviea Ival laid into her, and so they jour neyed to the top of the hill, when they simultaneously got into srong running; Fanny Davies here began to gain upon Lady Georgians, and at the Red House had suc ceeded in getting her head in front, looking very much like a winner : her advantage, however, did not last, for as they came closer upon the Judge's stand, her ladyship let out, and speedily resumed her lead, which she kept to the end, winning by half a length. George Nelson rode her, sad Henry Edwards, Fanny Davies.

Soldan then made his run, and soon headed, keeping in front till within a little of the finish. Here Harry Edwards thought it was his tarn, and he soon brought Purity to the leading horse—gave his mare the last screw when within a few strides,' got in front, and won the stakes by nearly half a length. _ The different amusements provided for the week have been well supported.

Janzes Brown was indicted for assaulting Mary his wife. The prosecutrix, who presented a figure still re taining the traces of much personal attraction, was accompanied by a very interesting little girl, about four years of age. She stated that, on the day laid in the indictment, which was nearly seven weeks back, her husband came home, and, addressing her, said " What, are you not dead yet ?" The CiIAIRISIAN asked her to explain the pri soner's meaning in putting that question. The proseeutrix replied, that on a former occasion he gave her poison; he brought her some gin, which he afterwards told her contained oxalic acid. She drank only a small quantity of it, which she almost instantaneously discharged from her stomach ; he urged her to take more; but she became so ill, that for worlds she could not taste another drop. She begged of him to give her money if he had it, to order that she might support herself and her little girl, who were nearly starving : this he refused to do, but promised her as much gin as she pleased to drink. On the day he committed the assault, upon her replying that " thank God she was not yet dead," he took a razor from his pocket, say ing, " I have got something here to settle the business." The CHAIRMAN requested the witness to be Call tious, and not to overcharge her statement: " Oh no," replied the poor woman, " if I told you all the truth you'd hang him." She then went on to say, that the prisoner after committing an act of the most indecent description, charged her with being visited in the course of the day by two fellows. " I was then lying sick in my bad (continued the witness) i told - him that the two fellows' were the doctor and his assistant, and that one of the persona residing in the house ca me with them into t he room in order that might hear how I was. This did not satisfy m y hus band -he reached over to the bed, and struck he me several times on the back and sides. I have been since in the most wretched state, and am now residing in the workhouse. All I ask of the Court is, that they bi n d him to keep the peace, and not ill-use me any more . I do not want to have him punished." The officer who arrested the prisoner said, that on going to his house he found the prosecutrix so very unwell, that she was not able to move. The prisoner on,being called on for his def ence . said he wi s hed to make up matters with hi s w if e; be also hand e d in a written defence, in whi c h h e de nied having mixed poison with the gin; h e a d m i tted that the bottle which contained it was unclean, and this he said produced the effect on his wif e ' s sto mach ; he was now satisfied to allow her five shil lings a week. The Jury, in returning a verdict of guilty, ex pressed a hope that the Court might visit the pri soner with the severest punishment. The CHAIRMAN said, that the indictment did not state the whole of the prisoner's conduct. It merely referred to the assault, and to that the Court must confine itself; had the prisoner been charged with the attempt to poison his wife, he certainly would have been transported for seven years. At present that part of his conduct served only es an introduction to his subsequent cruelty. The sentence of the Court was, that the prisoner be imprisoned for one year in the House of Correction and kept to hard labour, and that, at the expiration of his imprisonment, he enter into his own recognizances, in the sum of 20/. to keep the peace towards his wife.
