LORD DURHAM IN DUNDEE. ( From the Dundee Chronicle.) Lord Durham left Camperdown in an open carriage at 12 o'clock, accom;anied by the Earl of Camperdown and Lord Kinniard, When his Lordship arrived, the horses were taken out of his carriage, which was led along to the Town Hall amidst the cheers of the multitude. As no place in Dundee could possibly contain one-sixth part of the immense number who crowded around his Lordship, a tem porary hustings was erected in front of the Town House, for the purpose of enabling all to obtain a hearing of his speech. Having joined the Provost and Magistrates in the Council-room, he proceeded along with them to the hust ings, where he was received with tremendous cheering. Silence having been restored, Provost Kay advanced to the front of the hustings, and addressed the assembly as follows : Representing, as I have the honour to do, the Magis trates and Town Council of Dundee, I am warranted in stating, and I think I may do it with confidence, that not only we, but all o ur f e ll ow - c i t i zens, congratulate ourse l ves on seeing Lord Durham amongst us.—(Great cheering.) At a meeting of the Magistrates and Town Council on Thursday, they resolved that an address should be pre sented to his Lordship, expressing the high approbation of the Magistrates and Town Council of his Lordship's long and unwearied . ex er ti ons i n th e cause o f hi s coun t r y_ (Cheenng)—th e i r thanks for the independent political prin ciples, supported by his Lordship for upwards of twenty years ; but more especially for the great boon conferred on Scatland in particular—he meant the great, glorious, and bloodless victory of the Reform Bill.—(lmmense cheering.) And, I may add, that had it not been for the independent, unflinching, and manly exertions of Lord Durham, it is very doubtful whether that bill would at this time have been the law of the land.—(Cheers.) To the Earl of Durham we are in a great measure indebted for it.—(Greet cheering.) The Lord Provost then read the address, and added, " I am sure that not only the Magistrates and Town Council, but , every individual will feel proud if the noble. Lord shall allow his name to be enrolled as a citizen of Dundee." And ad dressing Lord Durham, the Provost .said, " I hope your Lordship will confer •on us the honour of accepting the freedom of the burgh, which I now present." His Lordship took possession of his burgess-ticket amidst immense cheers. Bailie CHRIStIE then came forward as Chairman of the Dundee Political Union, and, in doing so, said—l hold this is a proud day indeed for Dundee, seeing that we have amongst us the very choice of the Peerage. Amongst the members of the House of Peers there' is not one whose merits and good qualities wind him round the hearts of the people like Lord Durham. All entertained the same deep affection for Lord Durham in the House of Peers as they had done for Mr. Lambton in the House of Commons. Others have changed their minds, but he has not done so. At the gathering in Edinburgh, the other day, I was never so electrified as at hearing the reply of his Lordship to an individual who pleaded hard for the do-as-little-as-possible system, and I would refer at present particularly to the crowning remark in Lord Durham's speech on that occasion : " I regret every hour which passes over acknowledged and yet unreformed abuses." This sentiment gave a tone to the meeting at the "gathering" which certain parties did not expect, nor wish, nor like. Much good, I hold, was done at Edinburgh, though I have been blamed for being there,and for having compromised my radical principles ; but I have to say thatl have not and never will compromise principles which I believe to be sound. I contend for equal rights and laws to all—and Lord Durham does the same—( Cheering.) The de claration I allude to'has,l am sure,taken hold of every memory, and will descend to posterity as a marked saying of the first Earl of Durham--(Cheers.) I shall not take up hislordship's time, or yours, with any farther remarks before reading the address ; only there is one particular point which I shall no tice, embraced by his Lordship's toast at Edinburgh, which referred to the peace and prosperity of Ireland ; and I trust that his Lordship will have an especial regard for that ill used country, and that he will be able to succeed in putting a stop to a system of misrule which has existed for centu ries, and covered it with blood and ruin. But I trust that a better feeling exists at head-quarters respecting Ireland as an integral part of the empire, and that she has seen her worst days.—(Cheers.) If the Government do justice to Ireland, the trade of agitation will be gone. Let only justice be done to her and there is nothing to fear. I know my countrymen well ; and that they have no envious feelings on account of the possessions of my Lord of Northumberland, the Duke of Newcastle, or other Tory Peers. The people will leave these men in the enjoyment of all the bounties which Providence may have bestowed on him and such like ; but they insist that his Lordship, and others of the same stamp, shall not have the power of making laws exclu sively for their own benefit, but that they shall legislate for the benefit of all."—(Cheering.) Bailie Christie then turned to his Lordship, and said—My Lord, I represent on this oc casion the Dundee Political Union, of which, since itsforma tion, I have been Chairman. The address of this body con tains the sentiments of 99 out of every 100 of the people of Dundee. Bailie Christie then - read the address, which is as follows, and delivered it to his Lordship— " TO EARL DURHAM " Aly Lord—The Dundee Political Union, and generally the Operatives of Dundee, rejoice in the opportunity which your Lordship has afforded them to testify their gratitude to your Lordship for your able, consistent, and unwearied efforts in the cause of good and cheap government. " In the present age, when some men who have been raised to power and wealth, by pretending to advocate the rights of the people, seem to have forgotten the principles and opinions they formerly professed, we rejoice to see that your Lord ship has, for honesty arid liberality; sustained your high cha racter throughout the various situations in which, by birth and fortune, you have been placed: yes, both as a Commoner and as a Peery we still find you the same staunch, able, and uncom promising advocate of the.rights and happiness of mankind. " For your assistance in preparing the Reform Bill, and your powerful advocacy of its principles in the House of Lords, the new constituency owe you their best thanks ; and although its provisions are such, that but very few of the working classes arc enfranchised—yet, knowing the interest, the power, and the prejudices with which you bad to contend, they too (al though for the present excluded) thank you for the boon, and hail it as a first step towards the attainments of those rights which are so dear to every Briton, and of which a borough mongering oligarchy have so long deprived us. " In the way of reform much yet requires to be done,—the Reform Bill itself has yet to be amended. The streams of knowledge are wickedly dammed up. We are still oppressed with monopolies of various descriptions—the corn law mono poly in particular bears hard upon the rights of industry—the beneficial circulation of the bounties of Providence is thereby prevented. The corporation laws are also peculiarly oppres sive ; for by means of them all hope of rising in the world is almost taken away from the working classes. Our taxation is enormous as well as unnecessary, to a great extent. It bears unequally on the different classes of society, pressing proportionally less on the rich than on the poorer and the middle classes. Law to a great extent is a mockery of justice. Our established churches are nests of sinecures, and their ministers for the most part abettors of the powers trat be—whether good or bad. Indeed our whole institutions still swarm with abuses and corruptions. " May your Lordship long enjoy health and strength to en able you to aid in sweeping away such abuses and corruptions, and in diffusing peace and happiness amongst the human race. " By appointment and desire of the Dundee Political Union and other inhabitants of Dundee. " W. CHRISTIE, Chairman." The Earl of DURHAM then presented himself, and was received with loud and enthusiastic cheering, and waiving of hats and handkerchiefs. The following is an outline of his speech :—" Gentlemen, I will fairly own that although any honour which might have been conferred on me by the authorities of your town would not have been without value, even if accompanied by no other, it would have been deprived of the peculiar value I attach to it in connexion with the affectionate reception I have received from the trades and working classes of Dundee. Although one of the privileged class, I have never regarded my privileges as worth anything, if, along with them, I did not enjoy the affection of all classes in the community.—(Cheers.) If I should exercise them for my own benefit, and not for the benefit of all, Gentlemen, I cannot claim the exclusive merit the Provost has been pleased to assign me. lam not the only individual member of the House of Peers who has always proved himself worthy of the approbation of the people. I see around me noble lords who have always cordially acted with me—l mean the Earl of Cam perdown and Lord Kinnaird, and that excellent patriot whom I observe on the opposite side of the street, Lord Panrnure.*--(Great cheering.) I have never yet struggled for the people without receiving the cordial assistance of these peers ; and therefore I cannot apply any compliment to myself at their expense, but I am willing to share it with them ; and I repeat my own sentiments, as well as theirs, when I say that they and I wish nothing which is not com patible with the rights and privileges of the community. Gentlemen, allusion has been made to the Reform Bill. I will not deny that to me was intrusted the preparation of the reform bill—(cheers)—aided by others ; and we pre pared such a bill, as in the state of the times, we could ex pect to carry—a, bill which, though mutilated, conferred on the people of this country a degree of liberty and freedom which never before existed in any country, and certainly no,t in Scotland, where the people could not be said to possess any political freedom at all. But do I ascribe any pecun ar merit to myself on this account ? No !I am not so vain. I know that in honouring me you are doing honour t, the cause of reform ; and that when you reward a pi:We ser vant, it will be to consecrate the principles of relo , m, and to vindicate your own consistency. With this disclama tion of any peculiar merit on my part, I will rant deny that I have exerted myself in the cause of the people ; and I am thankful for the honours done, and the affectionate tribute now paid to me.—(Great cheering.) Gentle men, it would not be becoming in me to close the pro ceedings of this day without adverti'ag, not only to the address of the Magistrates and Town Council of Dundee, , * Lord Panmure was sitting at a wixidow in Reform-street HE SUN, L and the freedom they have conferred on me, but also to the address of the Political Union, I have never yet, nor ever will, conceal my sentiments, whether addressing Radi cals on the one hand, or Tories on the other.—(Cheers.) I have ever stated and avowed what my principles are.— (Great cheering.) I confess that, if I believed all that is stated in the address of the political union, I should despair of the prosperity of my country—but I do not believe that everything is in such a state as is there represented. Much I know remains to be done, and, with your assistance, it shall be done : but I do not believe that all is so bad and rotten in our institutions as is set forth in this address. My object is not to destroy and reconstruct, but to ameliorate and amend. There is much that is good and valuable in our institutions, if it were fairly drawn out ; but much of what is good in our institutions has, through Tory misrule, been perverted to other purposes. But I hold that, in our form of Government by Kings, Lords, and Commons, there will be found a greater degree of liberty than ever existed in any other country of the world, and as much rational liberty as any people under the sun can or ought to enjoy. —(Cheers.) I ask you of the working classes, who are the sinews of the state, what would be the consequence of any system calculated' to produce confuSion ? lam not aware of any class that would suffer more from such a state than the operatives. Any thing which tends to de rarwe the laws which regulate the employment of capital and labotTr must necessarily tend to destroy the mercantile and agricultural prosperity of the country ; and if you take my advice you will take care that when you ameliorate you do not destroy.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, having thus frank ly stated that I will not go the length set forth in the ad dress read by my honourable friend Bailie Christie, I may be allowed to state that I am an advocate for the most de termined and speedy, correction of all abuses, and that wherever any abuse can be pointed out, it ought to be im mediately reformed. When I entered your town, the first thing that: struck my eye was the magnificent appearance of your new docks ; but I would not content myself with al ways admiring the'beauty of masonry, or the skill of the architect. I would iyish to see the waves flowing into it —the navies of the world riding there ; and thus mani festing the increasing prosperity of the town. So it is with the Reform Bill. It is not sufficient that the people have the power of electing their representatives—they want to see the fpits - of it. ''The representation of the people is not yet perfect ;, but it is better than it was, and the people ,must wait till they see if the edifice will effectually answer, its purposes.—(Great cheering.) Gentlemen, we have been told that there is danger of going too fast, and of acting without due deliberation. Now, while I admit that every measure should lie well considered, since due consideration alone is effectual, I cannot see why time should be lost in beginning to deliberate. I cannot, for the • PRICES OF STOCKS THU Bank Stock - shut 3 per Cent. Red. 3 per Cent. Cons 91)614 3 4 3 , 5; per Cent. shut Ditto lied. New ajt. per Cent. 4 per Cent.

Should any person from Perth be here, he would doubtless come by the steamer ; and I would ask what he would have said if the man at the helm had called out, when they were in the middle of the Tav, " Stop her."—(Laughter.) He would never have arrived at Dundee. He would have been in the middle of a romantic and handsome river no doubt ; but this would not have satisfied him for not getting to the end of his journey. Therefore he would say, that the man at the helm of the state should not stop his course, but guide his vessel speedily and safely to port.—(Great cheers.) Gentlemen, I ought not to have detained you so long. Since I ceased to represent the county of Durham in Parliament, I have not been accus tomed to address so large an assemblage, and I was in better wind for it then than I am now.—(Great cheers.) I cannot, however, resist the opportunity afforded, by the allusion of Bailie . Christie to Ireland, of saying a few words about that country, though it is not immediately connected with the honours which have been done me. But I cordially agree, that the prosperity of Ireland is intimately connected and bound up with the prosperity of England and Scotland ; and that we ought to put shoulder to shoulder in order to remedy the evils which exist in that unhappy country. Centuries of misrule have not deadened a desire amongst the Irish peo ple for good government ; and we have only to pursue a sound line of policy towards them to make that country the source, of riches and contentment, while, at present, it is merely a drag on the other parts of the empire—an army of 30,000 men being required to keep down a people hav ing one common interest with ourselves. With these feel ings I dismiss this subject, grateful that at length the Go vernment are anxious to do justice to the people of Ireland. In Edinburgh, I said that I would not then enter minutely into a discussion of the grievances of Ireland—and I say so now ; but I cannot allude to it without agreeing in the necessity of something being done for the prosperity of that country. And now, Gentlemen, allow me to take leave of you. Although I did not cross the Border in the hope of receiving any personal honours from the people of Scotland —although I came for the purpose of doing honour to one of the most illustrious Statesmen that ever lived—l should not have the feelings which every man possesses if I were to repudiate the testimonies of affection and esteem I have received in Scotland, and if I did not assure you, my fellow citizens of Dundee, that there is no man in your town, or in Scotland, more anxious for your prosperity, than I am. If health and life shall be spared to me, and if opportunity occur, ,I will endeavour to carry into effect those principles which I have contended for.—(Great cheering.) His Lordship then withdrew, after which the meeting gaVe three times three cheers for his Lordship, and one cheer more ; three for the Earl of Camperdown ; three for Lord Panmure ; three for Lord Kinnaird ; three for the King ; and three for Provost Kay. We regret that we did not return to the hall with Lord Durham, &c., where the magistrates had sent for refresh ments for their noble visitors.

THE SUN IS NOW THE LARGEST DAILY PAPER IN LONDON: Zbt ~t~ 'vs,~ : . r ~cL LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1834. An express from Madrid has just been received in this city, dated the 30th ult. bringing the result of the debate on the third article of the Financial project by which two thirds of the recognised debt were declared active, and one-third passive. This informa tion is already given in the telegraphic despatch from Bayonne to the French Government, and the only ad ditional news is the very words of the Vote as pre pared by ►Senors Don ALVARO FLOREZ ESTRADA, and the Marquis de MONTVIRGEN : " The undersigned being persuaded of its having been the desire of the Estamento that the third article should be sent back to the committee for the purpose of being modified, and not that the corresponding article of the report of the mino rity of the committee should be adopted in its place, which in the opinion of the undersigned would be of very serious con sequence to the interests of the nation, they have the honour to propcse its modification in the following terms : " 'Art. 3. The whole of the foreign debt shall henceforward be divided into active and passive debt. " 'lts conversion into active c ebt and passive debt shall take place in the proportion of two-third parts active and one third part passive debt. " ' As 'to the other articles of the report, as far as the eleventh, the undersigned concur with their colleagues of the committee. ' (Signed) Marques de MONTEVIRGEN, ALVARO FLOREZ ESTRADA. " Finance CoMmittee-room, Sept. 28, 1834.'" " The article proposed by the majority; which was rejected by 58 to 41, wasito the following effect " ' Art. 3. The whole of the titles and obligation by which the foreign debt is at present represented, shall be exchanged within the period of a year from the promulgation of the pre sent law against new titles of equal nominal value, at the,rate of interest originally contracted for, of 5 per cent. and 3 per cent. respectively. " ' After the lapse of the stipulated period of a year without 'presentation for conversion, the obligations shall lose the inte rest to which they may have right. " ' The certificates known by the name of the deferred debt shall continue in circulation as they now are, and the drawings by lot shall take place as heretofore."' The result of this vote will be to raise the value of the Stock in the hands of the bondholders ; each bondholder being now entitled to about 1031. in active stock, and about 511. in a deferred or passive stock. The Paris Papers of Monday have all been re. ceived. The Moniteur contains the following tele. graphic despatch from Bayonne, dated Madrid, Sep tember 30 : " THE AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE AT THE COURT OF SPAIN TO THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " The Chamber of Procuradores, in its sitting this day, has, contrary to the recommendation of the Committee, divided the debt into active and passive, in the proportion of two-thirds for the active part, and one-third for the passive." The other intelligence contained in the French Journals is not very important, save the reports which relate to the war in the north of Spain, which are all given in the extracts from the Paris Papers. The fol lowiug.occurs among the fashionable paragraphs : The King, Queen, and Royal Family left Fontainbleau on NDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8; 1834 Friday at one o'clock, for Melun, accompanied by Marshals Gerard and Lobau, Admiral Jacob, the Count de Montalivet, Generals Durosnel and Pajol, and numerous other personages. On Saturday the King, the Queen, and Royal Family, took an airing in the forest of Fontainbleau. The English Ambassador and his lady were in the carriage with the King. His Majesty's attendants followed in ten other carriages. Their Majesties alighted at the Croiz du Gran- Veneur, and walked along the road bordered with rocks which leads to the Valley of the Solle. After having traversed the Valley, they returned by the Croix de Toulouse and the Croix d'Augas. On arriving at the Palace they found Count Appony, the Austrian Ambassador, with his lady and their sons. The Duke de Frias, the Spanish Am bassador; M. Lehon, the Belgian Plenipotentiary, and his lady , the Princess de Wagram ; the Marchioness de Belmonte ; the Marshal Duke de Trevise, with his lady and daughter ; M. Thiers, Minister of the Interior, and his lady ; Count Ducha tel, Minister of Commerce ; Generals Jacqueminot and De lort ; Count d'Houdetot ; Baron and Baroness de Berthois, and Colonel Caradoc. After dinner, the comedy, entitled Suite d'un Bal Masque was performed, by Mlle. Mars and the actors of the Theatre Francais. The Philtre was performed by the principal performers of the Opera. We have been much gratified by the perusal of a speech which the Earl of DURHAM delivered to the inhabitants of Dundee, on the occasion of his being presented with the freedom of the borough. This speech will be found in another column of The Sun, and as it is bold and manly in its tone, though advo cating no changes but such as are strictly within the pale of the Constitution ; moreover, as it repudiates the little-as-needs-be system of improvement, and ridi cules, in good set terms, the absurd apprehensions of those Legislators who are perpetually crying out when ever any unpalatable change, no matter how necessary it may be, is suggested to them, " Hold, hold, we are hurrying on too fast ;"—as Lord DURHAM'S speech laughs to scorn all these frantic fears, and bears throughout the impress of -a lofty sagacity, we, :have no doubt that it will be adopted as a sort of creed or text-book, by all sincere reformers. His Lordship represents the moving principle of Reform. He is essentially the Statesman of the day. He is not cowed or bewildered by the stern determination that the country shows to lop off all abuses ; but feels that the spirit which influences it is a just one, and is consequently prepared to give it his cordial support. " I am an advocate," says the Noble Lord, " for the most determined and speedy correction of all abuses ; whenever any abuse can be pointed out, it ought to be immediately reformed. It is not sufficient that the people have the power of electing their repre sentatives ; they ought to see the fruits of it. The re presentation of the people is not yet perfect, but it is better than it was. Gentlemen, we have been told that there is danger of going too fast, and of acting without due deliberation. Now, while I admit that every measure should be well considered, since due consideration alone is effectual, I cannot see why time should be lost in beginning to deliberate. I cannot, for the soul of me, see why, instead of immediately deliberating, we should stop in our progress. Should any person from Perth be here, he would doubtless have come by the steamer, and I would ask what he would have said if the man at the helm had called out, when they were in the middle of the Tay, Stop her He would never have arrived at Dundee. Therefore, I say that the man at the helm of the State should not stop his course, but guide his ves sel safely and speedily to poit." This is well put, and is just the sort of reasoning to be appreciated in an age like this, which is one of transition, and charac terized, beyond any previous age, by a fierce thirst for improvement. We have indeed arrived at that crisis in our affairs, when it is impossible to halt or retrogade with safety. There must be no more snail-like creep ing along the broad high-way of Reform ; no looking back, instead of forward ; we must press on, if we would desire to arrive safely at our journey's end. We are on the Rubicon, and must pass it at all hazards. It will not, therefore, do for Ministers to tell us that having had a hearty meal of Reform, we can have no appetite for more. We must dine as well as lunch ; and lie who helps us to our dinner,—provided it be a substantial one—that man is the Minister for us. The present Government promises fairly, but it is not all that we could desire to see it. Under the late Premier, it professed too much, and performed too little ; and many of those who influenced his Lordship's policy, would seem to be equally influential with Lord MELBOURNE. Hence the extensive popularity of Lord DURHAM. Hence, too, the spread of opinions, amounting almost to Radicalism, among us, which will go on increasing, just in proportion as Ministers recede from the position in which the Reform Bill placed them, or shrink back from the duties which -it has entailed on them. " For emulation hath a thousand sons, Which one by one pursue ; if you give way, Or hedge aside from the direct forth-right, Like to an entered tide, they all rush by, And leave you hindmost ; Or like a gallant horse fallen in first rank, Lie there for pavement to the abject rear, O'errun and trampled on." A vigorous Liberal Administration is the only sure remedy for popular intemperance. One vacillating Premier calls into being at least a hundred determined Radicals. One energetic one neutralizes just as many. The Report of the Select Committee on the Metro politan Police—the result of a long, laborious, and patient investigation of the working of the new system —is a most triumphant refutation of the truth of the statements, and the soundness of the arguments urged against the establishment of a protective force so con stituted. The witnesses examined were men of frequently oppOsite political principles, of every shade of opinion, and of all ranks and classes in the community ;• and though the testimony of some of them was intended to produce impressions on the mind of the Committee unfavourable to the police force, still the evidence so given was founded on prejudices and idle rumours rather than on individual experience, or any inquiry based on facts capable of a particle of proof. From Sir 'F. ROE, and the stipendiary magistrates of the metropolis, to Messrs. SAVAGE, POTTER, and Co., self-dubbed Knights of the trumpet-tongued Legion of DiSeontent, and Grand Conservators of the Rights of Marylebone, did the Committee proceed in the examina tion of witnesses, that nothing might be overlooked— no statement omitted—which might serve to elucidate the object of the inquiry ; and the consequence is a huge mass of very important evidence, showing the immense advantages which have already been derived from the present metropolitan police establishment, both as regards economy and the preservation of the peace and property of the community. As to the instituting of a comparison between the Police Force and the Old Watch, we should no more think of it seriously, than we would of comparing the liberty of man in a civilized state to the licentious freedom of the savage. Under the old reg i me th ere wa s no secu rity for either life or property. Frequently the watchmen themselves were the depredators, and the instance might be cited as miraculous where the offer of a bribe failed to paralyse the out stretched arm of justice. As to parish 'dignitaries, they could, in the language of the old system, " do no wrong." They were so many potentates in disguise, on whom no minion of justice dare lay a r etributive finger, no matter what acts of midnight violence they committed. The " old Charlies" had the fear of the Vestry before their eyes, and, therefore, very naturally never found their way to the infamous haunts fre quented by any of its members. Or, if in ignorance of the official inviolability of the person of an offender, the guardian of the night seized upon the body of a drunken ruffian, in the act of breaking the laws, the inevitable consequence was an instant disinissal, or a public apology, and the retraction of the charge pre ferred against the party in power. This statement is very far from being an exaggeration of the truth. In point of fact it falls far short of it, as every person must know who remembers he state of the metropolis under the old sys- tem. Gangs of thieves were organized in every part of the city; their haunts and even persons were known ;. but as they were in league with the watch, no person dared to interfere with them. Many of these conser vators of the peace were old, and the whole of them lazy, drunken, and frequently dishonest. It was a common practice for young men in liquor to make parties to disturb the peace of the city as a mere pas time, and during these drunken sallies it often hap pened that much blood was shed, together with the total destruction of much valuable property. On these occasions three or four young fellows were quite suffi cient to perpetrate, with safety to themselves, any scheme of outrage, such. as breaking 'all the lamps, and smashing the windows in an entire,neighbourhood, always ending with the seizure of the watchmen's insignia of authority,—too impotent, too sleepy, or drunk to protect themselves,—much less to protect the property or preserve the peace of the public. Referring to this lawless state of the Metropolis pre vious to the establishment of the present police force, the Report observes : " In 1817, Mr. Fielding, a Police Magistrate, in reference to the daring character and the number of profligate and ex perienced depredators, declared, that the tranquillity of the whole town was ' miraculous.'.Thieves were organized in known classes; day thieves and night thieves, and hustlers of passengers, who are described as a desperate gang.' Flash houses were then declared to be a necessary part of the police system, where known thieves, with the full knowledge of the Magistrates and police officers, assembled, until the state of individuals, from the losses they had sustained or the wrongs they had suffered, bid high enough for their detection. In fact, the peace and order of the town was really preserved on every occasion of tumult or apprehended disturbance rather by a display of military force than, as at present, by the civil power. " At one end of the metropolis, and within its limits, bull baiting was a diversion allowed, with all its cruelties, conducted by notorious and infamous characters ; and this evil - the Police Magistrate above quoted stated he had not sufficient strength' to stop, and to interfere with the slender strength 'he had ' would most likely lead to greater disturbance by their being overpowered.' "In fact, if a foreign jurist had then visited the condition of the metropolis, as respected crime and the organization of its Police, and if, without tracing the circumstances from which that organization arose, he - had inferred design, from the ends to which it appeared to conduce, he might have brought forward plausible reasons for believing that it was craftily framed by a body of professional depredators, upon a calculation of the best means of obtaining from society, with security to themselves, the greatest quantity of plunder. He would have found the m!tr9polis_fiivided, and subdivided into petty jurisdictions, each independent of every other, each having sufficiently distinct interests to engender perpetual jealousies and animosities, and being sufficiently free from any general control to prevent any intercommunity of information or any unity of action.' Against the continuance of a system which has happily delivered the metropolis from he above appalling state of degradation, the only argument advanced is that the police are not under the controul of the parish authorities, instead of being under that of the Com missioners in Scotland-yard. But we would ask under whose regime did the evils of the old system originate? Where were the parish authorities, or what were they doing in 1817, when flash-houses—:hells for the rob bery of the young and inexperienced, and homes for thieves and prostitutes—were declared to be a neces sary part of a police system ? There were vestries in those days ; they had the management of the police in their, own hands, and under their own controul ; and the above extract is a striking proof of the effects of parochial jurisdiction. In fact, it would appear from the closing paragraph that the only way by which a stranger could recognize a constable, would be by an outward stamp of villainy quite foreign to any but rogues and vagabonds. It states openly that to a foreigner the system of watch would have appeared a system for pilfering, rather than for protecting the people ; and, consequently, that all constables were thieves and robbers, licensed by the Government for plundering the public. Pity that the grand deputations from Marylebone and Shoreditch, who endeavoured to prevail on the Committee to revive this pristine state of social bliss, should only induce the Committee to give utterance to the following opinion Many persons have assumed, and that assumption has been countenanced by the report of the committee of 1822, that a good police could only be attained at the expense of the liberty of the subject, and that it necessarily involved some arbitrary principle, opposed to the free constitution of this country. In the words of the report, it was difficult to re concile an effective system of police with that perfect freedom of action and exemption from interference which are the great priviliges and blessings of society in this country.' A full consideration of the evidence now presented to the house will dispel this apprehension ; and, looking at the establishment as a whole, it appears to your committee that the metropolitan police has imposed no restraint, either upon public bodies or individuals, which is not entirely consistent with the fullest practical exercise of every civil privilege, and with the most unrestrained intercourse of private society." But its efficiency is very far from being the only advantage which the new police system possesses over the old ; though that must be ver' great, from the fact of its superseding the necessity of employing the army in the repression of public outrage. The great object now of public regard' is economy, and here the new system is particularly valuable, from the saving effected by it. Its duties considered, being double those of that which it superseded, the present police establishment is the cheapest, as well as being the most perfect in the.world ; for be it remembered that the old watch were for the night only, whereas now the peace and property of the metropolis are protected both day and night. The following ex tract from the report will show the surprising extent to which this system carried the saving in a single parish in the short space of two years :--- In the parish of Hackney, for instance, a Very effect Police appears to have been established by a local Act. Here there was a day and night Police. The cost is stated, by a witness examined before the Committee, to have been about 65/. per week for watching alone, or 3,3801. per annum.' The same witness, being asked to inform the Committee what is the dif ference between the amount of the present Police-rate and the cost of the old watch, says, The cost of the old watch was, as stated before, about 8,3801. per annum ; the amount of the Hackney Police-rate this year, at 6d., is 2,496/. ; last year, at Bd., 3,164/. ; therefore, the Police costs less by 8841. per annum, when at 6d. in the pound, and 2161. per annum less when at Bd. in the pound,' which is the maximum rate. " This, then, is the comparison between the two systems in a single parish ; the other case in which your Committee are enabled to make a comparison is that of a more extended esta blishment of Police, also under local authorities." The benefit of the new system, as well as the effi ciency of the force, would be greatly augmented were the same plan adopted by the city of London, which now prevails in every other part of the Metropolis. The corporation, in holding itself distinct, acts in the narrow and jealous spirit of the twelfth century, now fortunately fast disappearing in this country ; and which a reform in our corporate institutions will destroy for ever. Referring to the evidence given by Mr. WOODTHORPE, the Town Clerk, the report states:— " The city of London recently found it necessary to im prove its police, and introduce a system of day and ni g ht po lice ; and it appears by the evidence before your committee. that a very large saving—to the extent of about 20,0001. per annum—would be effected, were it conducted upon the plan, —and under similar controul, to that of the Metropolitan Police. " The following statement of the cost of the police of the city of London is taken from the evidence of Mr. Woodthorpe, the town-clerk of the corporation. The estimated expense of a police f orce to di sc h arge similar duty was furnished by t he MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) After the drunk and disorderly were disposed of, the driver of the cab, No. 1,634, was placed at the bar before Mr. CHAMBERS, charged with having demanded more than his legal fare. The complainant stated that he hired the defendant to drive him and two other gentlemen from Katherine's Docks to Shep. herd-street, Oxfo7d-street, for which the cabman demanded 65., being 2s. Bd. more than he was entitled to. The cabman in his defence said the gentlemen were drunk, and that one of them vomited so copiously over his vehicle, that it took him two hours to clean it, and that it was as a re muneration for his trouble in purifying the cab from such filth, that he claimed the additional 2s. Bd. This statement the complainants vehemently denied. After some further discussion, the defendant was fined 20s. and costs. Thomas Johnson. a powerful and most ferocious looking man, was next placed at the Bar, charged with having stolen two books, value 55., from the book-stall of a person whose name we could not hear. The prosecutor stated, that a gentleman who was passing his shop, saw the prisoner take the books from his stall, and se crete them under his coat ; in consequence of which informa tion he called the police; and had him arrested. Mr. CHAMBERS (to the prisoner)—What are you, Sir? Prisoner—l am nothing, your Worship. Mr. CHAMBERS—Nothing ! What do you mean by nothing? Prisoner—l mean that lam not any thing. Mr. CHAMBERS—Oh, you're nothing, and you're not any thing ; which, being translated, means that you are a thief ? Prisoner—Not exactly, please your Worship. As the gentleman who had seen the prisoner purloin the books was not present, Mr. Chambers directed that he should be summoned to attencl,, and the case was then postponed till to-morrow. •• • SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)
