did, not , think that any reasons had been assigned wh t y they should be selected to discharge the auties of a Police I lagistrate. He had a high respect for the unpaid magis tracy ; but he thought that the ties of the provinces with which t hey were connected, and other circumstances, disabled them "from discharging the duties in the metropolis. The name given they Police magistrate had given rise to the erroneous idea that ""eY administered only on police subjects. On the contrary, a great number of other cases of the deepest importance came under their j ur i s di ct i on ; an d i n c i v il causes , t h ey were ca ll e d upon to decide between individuals,particularly those under theßuilding Acts, which involved property to a great amount, and required the investigation of evidence on both sides. In such cases, there could not be a satisfactory adjudication, unless the Judge pssessed a considerable degree of legal knowledge. As t he Banisters must be a certain number of years standing, it Was,not unfair to allot a salary of 800 g., in lieu of their private Practice, and the hopes to which their profession led them to Z s Pire• In this country, we are more parsimonious than others Il tecornpensing our legal officers, and nothing could he worse talky than to continue the system. Whether in the situation of 1 41ge, or any other official appointment, it was injurious policy refuse a p ro p er sa l ar y to persons who were properly qualified Tor the profession. If we took the refuse of the Bar, 2001. or 401 . might be saved ; but the public would bitterly lament this ;canomy. On these grounds, he begged leave to propose the ° flowing Resolution—."

The Resolution having been put from the Chair, Sir J. SEBRIGHT said, that he concurred in the necessity of giving the Police Illaaistrates a fair remuneration for dis- Viarging their duties. recollected the trading Justices of estrninster ; than whom a more disreputable class of men had never existed. did not oppose the plan now proposed ; although he thought that the Crown did not thereby lose any o f its power or influence. At this moment there were 820 i a,. arristers ; and upwards of 400 Of that number were quasi,. ? Lied to enjoy places of various descriptions. He wished to know Whether the salary was to be fixed; or whether it might be raised at the option of the Secretary of State. If the proposi tion weitt that length, what security was there for the rode. pendence of the administration of the town ? Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that if the House approved of the Resolution, there would he - an - absolute increase to the salaries of all the Magistrates. It was worded in the same manner as that which passed the House 20 years ago. By the appointment -O f Barristers, the country would ensure the legal knowledge of the Magistrates. If the Secretary of State had looked fin Patronage, he would have taken his appointments from the country. Mr. FIUME asked, how the 30 Magistrates where to be dis tributed in th e Metropolis. De put this question, to ascertain whethertwo or three Magistrates might not perform all the du ties for which .four were at present named ; and thus, while the allowance of salary was given, the expense would be lessened 1 1 diminishing the number. - ..31r. Secretary. PEEL said, that he proposed a Committee on the state of the Police" two years since, in which the Hon. Alember (Mr. Hume) took an active part, where the question now put to him (Mr. Peel) had been fully discussed. In the 1,, ear 1792, London was divided into nine districts, and three iagistrates were appointed to each district. No alteration had taken place since that period, except in the establishment of the Thames Police Office, which had since been found ex tremely useful. The number of Magistrates attached to each office, not only divided the business, but was of great advan tage in preventing uncontroulled power.—( Hear, hear, hear !)- 4 3. s two Magistrates only attended at the Police-office, the re tPaining one was necessary to give them a slight relaxation " n ila their labours. That relaxation was small indeed t• the °Mee was open from ten in the - morning till eight a: night; and g at tYnion-h a ll a lone, justice had been distributed to no less than ' 43 ) 00 0 persons. In that office they had ample occupation : In Tie month—July 1823, 176 cases were judged upon; and in 3824 there were 150 cases of assault, independent of all other 41 thiecto of complaint. °lr. W. SMITH said, that if three Magistrates had done so 1° ~, l eh b us i ness as to j u d ge o f 243,000 c a s es, a ve r y small pro lion of business would fall to the remaining 27. 1 ,.0e resolution was then put and agreed to. The House re oetl, the Chairman reported progress, and the Report of the Pliittee was ordered to be received to the other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the douse adjourned at ONE o'CLocK. THE LATE DR. PARR. ts)ior.tly Th 0 curious library of the late Dr. PAltlt will b e tensive, Etna brought to the hammer. It will be found very cx peculiarly rich in Latin Classics, especially the almost numberless editions of Homer. In some of the early numbers of the British Critic, our readers will remember an elaborate and most minute examination of the splendid edi tion of Homer, by the lat.! Dr. Coombe, of Bloomsbury-square, father o f one of the present curators of the British Museum, which was written by Dr. Parr. The article in question had the effect, for a time, of depressing the value of Dr. Coombe' s li terary labours, • and nearly destroying the sale of his book. It has, however, since recovered, and is now considered scarce and valuable. The bitter character of this criticism, backed by its accuracy, occasioned a long cor respondona between the editor of H omer, a nd the " Occasional Writer in' the British Critic," whose biting satire," after niaby 44 hard hits" on both sides, eventually triumphed. • F' t r uNERAL OF TUE REV. Dit. PARR AT HAT- Tom.—Dr. PARR gave, previously to his illness, minute di rections respecting his funeral. His remains were attended on foot by nearly forty gentlemen in mourning, consisting of the clergy of the surrounding parishes, &c. Agreeably to his ex press direction, the burial service was read by the Rev. Rann Kennedy, Minister of St. Paul's Chapel, in Birmingham; a .sermon was also preached by the Rev. Dr. Butler, Vicar of Kenilworth, and Mead Master of Shrewsbury School. EXECUTION. WilicliEsTEß,lauctr 19.—This morning the extreme sentence of the law was carried into execution, at the new drop behind the county jail, on John Smith, aged 26 ; Jas. Dawes, aged 30; and Wm. Dawes, aged 22. Smith, whose real name Was Hughes, and who had been convicted of horse-stealing, was a gipsey, and had always led a wandering life. He professed to be a rat-catcher and basket-maker, but subsisted chiefly on plun der ; his depredations were not confined to one county, or to any single species of property. lie acknowledged the offence for which he suffered, and the justice of his sentence. J. and W. Dawes were brothers, and convicted of burglary, attended with considerable personal violence. They , were labourers, and resided at Buriton, in this county. Both acknowledged their guilt, and stated that the offence was planned and committed by themselves alone, and that a letter found on the premises was written by J. Dawes, and left there for the purpose of ex butgap against another person, whose name was on it, who, they declared, had not the least knowledge of the t ransaction. torn the time of their cpndenination, all the above unhappy men conducted themselves in a manner becoming their Melancholy situation. They paid the greatest attention to the i nstructions of the Chaplain, deeply bewailing their past trans , gressions and earnestly , seeking forgiveness,. for the sake of their Redeemer. The chief causes of their ruin were Sabbath breaking and poaching, and the elder Dawes mote than once observed, that although he had frequently made large sums of Money by the latter practice, it never did him any good, it was always got rid of, he knew not how. The worthy Chaplain was with the prisoners at an early hour, and they were engaged from that time till their death, in fervent devotion. All three received the Sacrament, and having, as far as their awful situation permitted, made their peace with heaven, awaited their doom with penitence and resignation to the last. A few minutes after eight o'clock, the prison bell began to toll, and the procession moved towards the scaffold. While the necessary preparations were making by the executioner, the Chaplain read prayers, and the unfortunate cr i m i na l s , espe , 'daily Smith, conti nue d their devotions in the most earnest and affecting manner. While they were thus engaged, the drop fell, and this world was closed on them for ever. Owing to the excellent arrangements, their bodily sufferings were of short duration. The younger Dawes fell without a struggle, Smith next ceased to move, and the elder Dawes, who was the longest convulsed, soon after rendered up his life. _No sooner had their stuggles ceased, than between twenty and thirty persons, chiefly women and children, crowded round the bodies, eager to be ru bb e d b y t h e yet quivering hand of 96 dead men, as an antidote against various diseases. Such, in the ..nineteenth century, is the power of superstition ! An () equally absurd custom, in which royalty itself was t h e me di um credulity, h as , in tree remembrance of many, been abolished— tha°t however, for want of d evotees ; nor can i t but be expected , while to ready an assent is given to the present practice, P i e* oftkitided people will we f oun d to k eep the indecent custom. As three men were widening the road in Hang tone-lane, near Abingdon, they dug up (about four inches ( rota the surface) 761 Roman silver coins of the reign of VA "N."); Of which were of the superfices of a shilling, but not so thick, a feN that of sixpence, and the remainder that of -n-crown...

DISSOLUT lON OF THE CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. —The Dublin Papers of Saturday bring us the report of a Meeting of the Catholic Association, which took place on Friday The Meeting-on Wednesday laad been erroneously represented. as the last. On Friday the Association dissolved itself, after entrusting the money which has been raised to Lord KILLEEN, to be applied by his Lordship to such purposes as it was raised for, or (if any of those purposes be now made illegal) to such of them as continue to be lawful. The Association also voted an Address to their Catholic countrymen, and recom mended the formation of a society for providing education for the peasantry, " free from sectarian prejudice, or proselytizing quackery." At this meeting another letter was read from Mr. O'CONNELL, in reference principally to the other measures respecting Ireland with which emancipation (which Mr. O'CoNNELL considers to be at hand) will be accompanied. Mr. O'CONNELL explains the plan which he supposes will he brought forward for raising the amount of the freehold qualification necessary to give a vote in county elections in Ireland. He observes, that this plan, which is but in embryo, does not take away the right of voting in any cases where the Freeholder has a fee-simple estate. The Association passed a vote, declaring in the strongest terms its " undimi nished and undivided confidence" in Mr. O'CONNELL, and its gratitude for " his splendid and disinterested exertions." MURDER AND ROBBERY. —Although we are on the eve of the Assizes, when the contemplation of the pu nishment which awaits offenders would be supposed to operate upon the minds of depredators, a crime has taken place within a few miles of this town (Leicester) of the blackest descrip tion. We allude to th e mur d er o f a person named William Glover, who lived alone in a house at Asfordby, a village on the Melton-road. The dre a df u l cr i me a pp ears to have been perpe trated some time on W e d nes d ay n i g h t , b ut t h e circumstances was not discovered till next morning, when a scene pre sented itself of the most horrid nature. The head of the poor man appeared to have been literally beaten to pieces ; as his brains and blood were scattered in every di rection. The instruments made use of for his destruction seemed to have been a strong stake, employed as a bar to fasten the house door, and a gate hook, which lay beside him. There were several wounds in his head, doubtless the ef fect of blows inflicted by the latter, which the deceased used as a poker. An empty purse was found in the unfortunate man's hand, and his drawers, &c. appeared to have been rummaged and ransacked of every thing worthy of being carried away. A shepherd, who happened to call. at the house on Thursday morn ing, was the first who gave notice of the circumstance. The de ceased, who was a small farmer, and possessed of some pro perty, was a man of rather singular and determined character, and is supposed to have made a strong resistance. He was be tween sixty and seventy years of age, but did not live on the most friendly terms with some of his neighbours. We regret to learn that no clue has yet been obtained, likely to lead to the detection of the villains conicerned.—(Leicester Chronicle.) Mr. O'CONNELL left town last night on his re turn to Dublin. He intends, we believe s to be in London again after I`aster. WEST INDIA DOCKS. STOCK ACCOUNT for the 1, 1 of 31arcl rVeek ending Saturday, the 19th h, 1825. Articles.

Morning, 5 minutes after 4.1 Even ing, 24 mi nu t es a f ter 4, A Gentleman was found on Sunday morning, on th e roa d, near Maidstone, quite dead, and his gig upset a few yards from the body. The remainder of the Paris Papers of Satur day arrived last night, but like the Etoile received yesterday by express, they do not contain any news of importance. The Chamber of Deputies is still occupied with the discussion of the law for the reduction of the Rentes. A private letter in the Constitutionne/ ascribes to the Holy Alliance the negociations now pend ing between the King of NAPLES and the Swiss Cantons for a military force. It is stated that it is only on this condition that the evacuation of the two Sicilies by the Austrian troops will tike place. The Neapolitans prefer having a few thousand Swiss in their country to the continu ance of the Austrian army there. It is believed that FRANCIS only awaits their departure to make some important changes in his political system. It will be recollected that the provincial States of Brandenburg, Pomerania, and Eastern Prussia passed resolutions requesting the King of PaussiA to acknowledge the independence of the New States of America : but it appears that the Prussian Government has not permitted these re solutions to be made public. English agents are in the Swedish and Norwegian ports making large purchases for the Republic of Colombia, and paying for all they buy in ready money. It is therefore not a matter of surprize that the Prussians are desirous of sharing in the trade of these new States : but their Government is at present too much devoted to the policy of the Holy Alliance to adopt so wise a measure as the acknowledgment of Sou th America n independence, notwithstanding it would benefit materially her most essential interests. The Moniteur of Saturday contains the follow ing article : DEPARTMENT OF THE MARINE AND THE CO LONIES. Conformably to a Royal decision, payment is going to be made of 50 per cent. on account, upon the indemnities already verified, and on those which shall be so successively by virtue of the Ordinance of 25th .January 1824, for the losses sustained by the French merchants, in consequence of the captures made by the Spanish cruisers during the course of the last war. The payments will be made at Paris at the Caisse des Depots et des Consignations, where the sums destined to the indemni ties are deposited. German Papers arrived this morning, from which the following are extracts : NUREMBURG, MARCII 12. We heard some time ago of claims made at Paris in favour of the former possessions of estates in Alsace, situated in part of France, that belonged to that country before the Revolution, and were only separated from it in consequence of the second treaty of Paris (1815). These ancient possessors of such estates, now situated out of the French territory, whose property was sold on account of the French Republic, because they were in cluded in the list or emigrants, are not mentioned in the project of law relative to the indemnity of the emigrants. The injustice of excluding them from the indemnity is evident. These claims, therefore, which were first laid before the French Government have been put to the Committee of the Chamber of Deputies which had to examine the project, but the Committee did not think fit to attend to them. As this matter deeply interests the district of AVeissenburgh, because many of the inhabitants who emigrated for a time,and whose property was sold, had estates in what is now the circle of Landau in Rhenish Bavaria, the Deputies from Alsace resolved to lay their claims before the Chamber. This has been done by Mr. V. Wangen, who was supported by some of his colleagues. Though seve ral Deputies opposed the motion (among others Count La flour donnaye, who is in general so zealous an advocate for the Emi grants), the equity of the claims was so evident, that a great majority of the Chamber declared in their favour. It was, therefore, resolved, that those Frenchmen who emi grated, whose estates were situated in districts that belonged to France on the Ist January, 1792, and have been sold, shall also have a share in the indemnity. It is strange that the law is not extended to all persons, not Frenchthen, who possessed estates in those subsequently ceded districts, which were sold on account of the nation. M. Hyde de Neuville proposed this, but the Chamber would not listen to it. The result is, that those citizens of Rhenish Bavaria, who are exactly in the same case as those of the diStricts of Weissenburg, are excluded from the indemnity which is allowed to the latter.—( Nurentburg Correspondent, March 13.) BERLIN, MARCH 10. ' The King gave audience, on the sth, to the Marquis tie Gagliati, Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King of Naples, who had the honour to present his new credentials. As, immediately after the accession of his Majesty Francis I. to the throne of the Two Sicilies, the King sent to him the Orders of his kingdom, that Monarch has sent to his Majesty the Neapolitan Ordes, the insignia of which M. de Gagliati had the honour to present to his Majesty yesterday in a private audience.—( FranVort Papas, March 15.), By the John Wells, which sailed from New York on the 28th of February, and arrived at Liverpool in 20 days, we have received papers from the former port down to the 26th ult. They contain no political intelligence of importance ; tl►e latest news from Peru having reached us through a different channel, and all interest in the domestic proceedings of the Ueion having ter minated for the present with the election of a Chief Magistrate. An account had been given in a paper, about the middle of February, of an en gagement between a Colombian and a Spanish vessel of war. This report is contradicted iu a journal of the 25th. In the private audience granted on Wednes day by-the King of FRANCE to Prince METTER. /mit, his Majesty conferred on the Prince the Order of the Holy Ghost. • The French Government has refused a pass port to JOSEPH SCIIMID, the fellow labourer of the celebrated PESTALOZZI at Yverdun. SCIIMID wished to establish schools of mutual instruction in France, and that object was enough to stamp him with suspicion in the estimation of the Jesuitical party. Letters have been received in town from Gib raltar of the Ist March ; from Cadiz of the same date ; and from Trieste of the 6th M arc h, b u t they contain no news. There are also letters in town from Dantzic, dated the 10th of March, which state that the price of corn was very flat. The KING is expected in town in a day or two, to hold a Council. The Henry Porchon has arrived from Bengal, and the Simpson from Bombay. The former brings letters from 1.3k!.'"1al of the 29th October, and from Madras of the Bth November.

THE ARTS.—Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE has just finished a Portrait of the Loan CHANCELLOR, which is not only the most faithful likeness that has ever appeared of his Lordship, but is one of the finest specimens of the Art of PORTRAY; PAINTING that has perhaps ever been seen. It. is, in fact, hardly possible to look at the picture without doubting whether the venerable original himself is not actually sitting before the specta tor. This admirable Artist is also proceeding with a whole length of the Duke of WELLING TON, which promises to be equally exact in point of similitude, as well as in all the force, truth, and beauty of professional excellence. We hope that they are both intended for the ensuing Ex hibition, as the Public will then have the plea. sure of beholding a correct representation of the two great props and ornaments of the country in its legislative and military protection. Mr. ROCHFORT who married the celebrated HARRIETTE WILSON, has no claim whatever to. the Earldom of BELVEDERE, as some public Journals have asserted, the title being extinct, and the estates devolving, on the death of the Countess of LANESBOROUGU, on the present Earl, her grandson. INFANTICIDE.—On Saturday an investigation took place before Mr. Hedger, a Surrey Magistrate, at the Lark Hall public-house, Clapham, respecting the death of an in. fact. It appeared that a single woman, named Hannah Sturge, who resided in Lark Hall-lane, while engaged at a neighbour's house, was taken ill and obliged to re turn home : she immediately proceeded to her room, and locked herself in : but the landlady, being alarmed at such conduct, fbllowed her, and with some difficulty en tered the room. Sturge looked very ill, but she was engage d . in washing some foul clothes. The landlady obtained a very unsatisfactory account from her, and went to make further inquiries at the house where she had been to work. In her ab. Bence, Sturge was observed to carry a pail into the water-closet, and upon the return of the landlady with a Doctor, he said the woman had been recently delivered, and the privy having been searched, the body of a full grown female infiint was found. From the depth at which the body was discovered., it , appeared to have been rammed down with a broom-handle, which was found near the spot. It appearing that the woman could not with safety be brought before the illagistrate l 010 investigation was postponed, ,7749. 77 128 8 4 93 48 861 1 2 179 2,169 6,674 8,546 5,425 ' 39 2,52 550 3,171 ,~-~.
