SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is not easy to convince a man who has got but one idea in his head, that his single notion is a wrong one. The difficulty is much enhanced, when the indiVidnel or class led away by his or its ' has been forced in a manner to adopt it, as a desperate expedient for the relief of some severe practical suffering,—a condition of mind which makes the error extremely pitiable, and which enti tles the:entertainer of it to the kindest consideration and forbearance. The monstrous mischief which would have been entailed upon the Parisian work men themselves, us well as the criminal outrage per petrated upon the property of their employers, and the serious evil to society, had they succeeded in their project of destroying all printing machinery, and in establishing a system of manual, to the ex clusion of mechanical labour, have been dwelt upon by the press both of France and Englund: nor do we know that any thing useful can 'be added to • what has already appeared in this journal, and been so ably maintained by others in illustration of the simple and almost elementary truth, that machinery is in the long run bene ficial to the working manufacturers them selves, almost in the direct proportion in which it supersedes--for it cannot wholly banish—manual labour. Destroy machinery in one country, and • what follows ? That the consumption of that country . is forthwith supplied by foreigners, who are wee enough to retain their engines unbroken.— Diestroy machinery all over the world, and what follows ? That an immense privation will be visited • upon the great bulk of mankind,--that a vast in crease of labour must be employed in the produc tioii of every article of taste, or use, or necessity,— that the prices of such articles must be enhanced in all directions,—the enjoyment of them foregone by great numbers who now possess them,—much fewer articles of exchangeable value created,—a less gene ral surplus of the produce of industry, after provid ing for the coarsest, wants of mankind, called into t eing„ With decreasing contlinq every where, there must be every where a steady but rapid extension of absolute poverty, and a corresponding relapse of society into the rudest anti most helpless barharism. WC have received many letters on this subject, and we havcinserted the two which are best written.— They are not argumentative, but vehement and de clamatory. The assumption which runs through • the whole of them is perhaps the most revolting for its Absurdity thatrould be imagined, viz. that for every machine dest . rOyed a number of hands would be brought t into employment capable of producing the some amount of marketable commodity. as hind heretofore been manufactured by the djscurded mechanism. The .reason why no such consequences could be looked for is, that the demand would no longer take up the same amount of MerchanOiee at triple or quadruple the • former price. The consumption diminishing in proportion to the rise of price, it follows that three fourths or four-fifths of chin workmen would be sent adrift because of the„sloitruction or abolition of the obnoxious machinery.' But the sacrifice of work men would not stop there ; for in consequence of the general destruction of mechanical uppuratus, the whole community would be so much impover ished, that the number of consumers for any one commodity in any branch of trade would fall far short even of an inverse proportion to the augmented cost. Our correspondent who talks of having wealth more equally distributed would use a more correct expression if he were to say that pauperism would be distributed more extensively. Now as for the wages given the journeymen being such that they cannot live by their labour, the real. evil is in the excess of the numbers who offer themselves for work, beyond the necessities of the market. We know no, better remedy for this mischief, than by lowering the cost ptice of goods still further, an ob ject- to be directly attained by enabling the l ourneymin to exist on ditnieished wages—that as, by giving him cheaper bread. The removal of Porn Law' we hold to bean essential principle l e 'every project for bettering the condition of the working classes: the introduction of a more rigorous system of economy into all brioches of the public ierviee, with a consequent abatemeist of taxes, is us.second arid powerful auxiliary source of relief. With hint who Has of "starving in the midst of plenty " we can truly and deeply sympa thize; but until he can inforM us, or rather until he can demonstrate' to himself and his brother " wolk men," that the market for goods will not be con tracted by. a prodigious increase in the cost of the manufactured article, we must beseech him to let his neighbour's property alone, and snot thus enhunce the . privations against which he represents himself and his fellow-labourers to be contending.—Thites. Several of the Morning and Evening Papers persist I in reiterating the stupid charge, of the Duke of W e llington beefy% been an adviser (or if the eVairge does not mean this, it means nothing) of the arbitrary measures of the Polignue Adthinistratien. If the Duke of Wellington has indeed been guilty of such odious folly and wickedness, he ought not tor another day to he the Minister of a free country. J/ut we do not believe that those who propagate this calumny attach the slightest credit to it : they wislt merely, for titetious purpeses, to circulate a falsehood, with the chime of its duping the cretin-, lout and unthinking. They rely upon the which still exists before the meeting of Par liament, to give stability as well as currency' to the scandalous areillatioll. Luckily an opportunity will speedily occur when the liake of Wellington autY, in the most public rammer, give a direct se a tnet itive contradiction to . this infamous potation, On Monday next' them will be a great dinner at Matiebester, where the principal people of Ito north-western counties will attend.

The intelligence from the Netherlands leaves xis still le the dark respecting the determination of the Government. Reports of -further engagements are in eirculatioo ; but we know not what credit they are entitled to. We are satisfied that o change, anti so important change, must take place. The King has himself to blame for the desire of the Belgians to separate themselve s . from, the Dutch, because, instead of endeavouring to conciliate the two Tuitions, lie has regularly availed himself of the, Dutch to carry measures odious to the 'Belgians. Besides, the Belgians are fairly entitled to know how their affairs are • managed ; anti to prevent that petty interference with trade which may ethi to the wealth of the King, hut must injure the, po i m e , Hos/over, it is a question for their own settlement, It is understood that the Duke of .Wellington thought, that as we bed been ,at the expense of l arge stints its enusteucting this kingdom, eed secur ing it from shroud, we had a title to tee that our work should net be rendered of no avail, but that his Grace did not find the King divined to second bfr viewc The King, like a sensible man, it is said; thought we might have beats' employed our money than in building castles in the Netherlands, but having sto anent our money, if the people of the Netherlands did not choose to take the benefit of cite outlay, it would be afoolish thing in us to threw si‘,v y Mtge money on them.

There was a time when the an nouncement of an European Congress filled the na tions with dread. However, that time is gone by. In the centre of Europe there is now a nation of thirty-two millions, who have burst the fetters of the Holy Alliance. There can be no longer any secret conspiracies of despots against the liberties and inde pendence of the people of Europe; because theCe can be no Cabinet Secrets where the principal na tion of Europe, without whose concurrence not cannon dare be fired, must be consulted. The French are men and not base serfs, who can only fight under the fear of the Knout, the Cudgel, or the Cat-ol nine-tails; and the Despots of Europe know this right well. It has been often observed, that men are never so ready to hazard their lives, as at that period when life has most attraction. Of all nations the French seem to have the most enjoyment of life ; and yet, without detracting from the merit of any other nation, it may be safely said, that the French are the readiest to rush on death. We haVe always admired the fervour with which Dr. Adam Smith, both in his Theory of Moral Sentiments and in his Wealth of Nations, inculcates the importance of cherishing in a nation the readiness to meet death at the call. of honour. " That in the progress of improvement," he observes, " the practice of military exercises, unless Government takes proper pains to support it, goes gradually to decay, and together with it, the martial spirit of the great body of the people, the example of modern Europe sufficiently demonstrates. But the security of every society must always depend, more or less, upon the. martial spirit of the great body of the people A coward, a man incapable either of defending or of revenging him self, evidently wants one of the most essential p ar t s of th e character of a man. He is as much mutilated and de formed in his mind as another in his body, who is either deprived of some of its most essential members, or has lost the use of them. He is evidently the more wretched and miserable of the two ; because happiness and misery, which reside altogether in the mind, must necessarily depend more upon the lit althful or unhealthful, the mutilated or entire state of the mind, than upon that of the body. Even though the martial spirit of the people were of no use to.. scuds the defence of the society, yet, to prevent that sort of mental mutilation, deformity, and wretchedness, which cowardice necessarily involves in it, from spreading them selves through the great body of the people, would still deserve the most serious attention of Government ; in the same manner as it would deserve its most serious attention to prevent a leprosy, or any other loathsome and offensive disease, though neither mortal nor dangerous, from spread ing itself among them ; though, perhaps, no other public good might result from each attention, besides the pre vention of so great a public evil." . . . _ . The events of the Revolution have been of inesti mable value to France, in communicating to indi viduals that promptitude to risk life, which they so eminently display. In a very interesting book, in two volumes, published some time before the lure French revelution, under the title of " The English Army in France, being the Personal Narrative of an Officer," the writer, who was at the Battle of Waterloo, and entered Paris with the victorious army, observes " I WV Louis XVIII. once inure on the day of opening the Chambers ; and I saw, whet was a far more interest ing sight, about ten thousand citizens (National Guards) attending him. The equipment of these men, all at their own expence, rather astonished me, I had never played at soldiers mrelf, and had always, from the time I held a commission, been employed in the serious business of mili tary life; but I must acknowledge that the aspect of the army which marched over the Pont des Tuilleries sur prised me. lam confident that they would have met the same number of regular troops, upon almost equal terms." •J • No one has ever questioned the merits of the English as disciplined soldiers; but our insular posies lion, along with its many good effects, has bud one injurious effect—that of leaving the people helpless, except pains are taken to organize them. The idea of a mob defeating a regular army would never have been entertained in this country from any thing within the range of our insular experience. Within almost the memory of man, the Pretender marched with two thousand ragged and ill-armed High landers:to within !kW more than a hundred miles of London, and if he had ventured to the metropolis, the odds were that we should have had a revolution: The people on the way hated the Highlanders,. but they never thought of lighting them. , king William was three days in England before a soul joined him; and Sir John Dalrymple shows that the Revolution was nearly defeated by the departure of three regiments of Scotch Guards for their own country, who, from ignorance of their route, got entangled in the fens of Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire, and thus were unable to execute their purpose. It is well known that we never durst hazard a descent on any part of France during the last war, for fear of the National Guards, who would instantly have rushed to the coast, and prevented the re-embarkation of the troops. The Game Laws of England have, no daubt, been productive of much evil; but iey have certainly served much to communicate to the peasantry, of late years, a brave and adventurous disposition. Throughout almost every parish of England the sposchers may now be considered as so many guerillas, and they display no small share of military knowledge in the manner in which they move on the points to be attacked. Of this we are certain, that so much more military is the character of the population now, than it was 11 or 12 years ago, that such an attack as that made on the multitude at Peterstield by a handful of men would not noW . he hazarded. The example of Frunce will serve farther to impress the,people,with th a p a ramount importance of cherishing those dis pest tons which lead men to hazard life with readi ness at, the call of duty. As for France, with its high-minded population, and its million of National Guards, the European despots will be cautious how fur they provoke it. They have tin longer the mil lions of volunteers, smarting under the wrongs suf fered from France, to embolden theM. Nol every• where the population are watching the Freed]. A Congress, indeed Say rather is French army at Vienna or Berlin, before the Monarchs have ex changed their letters on the subject.

The class of London thieves who in slang lan guage are designated the " swell mob," have fol lowed in the wake of Royalty, and have mustered in • considerable numbers at Brighton, where they pursue their vocation with their wonted dexterity and with a success almost unprecedented in the an nals of thieving. These fellows parade through the town in groups of four or five, dressed in the first style of fashion, and, assuming the airs of men of consequence, mingle without notice or suspicion in all the amusements of the place, and contrive upon each occasion to lighten the pockets of those who are deceived by their appearance, and who never dream of being robbed in such genteel society, until the loss of their watches or purses causes them for the first time to suspect their company. The sub scription-rooms and libraries afford ready access to these accomplished thieves, and their depredations at those places have been carried on to a consider able extent. The arrival of a coach from London is sure to .collect a crowd of idlers, nud of this cir cumstance the swell mob never to fail to take advan tage by hustling the passengers and possessing themselves of watches, purses, and pockets, in the confusion which ensues. The appearance of his Majesty on the parade attracts, of course, a con siderable concourse of persons, and none are more eager in pressing forward to catch a glimpse of his person, or more loud in the expres s „skip of their loyalty, than his grateful subjects, the swell mob of London, many of whom have been seen to salute his Majesty with the greatest possible effrontery, and to receive in turn a gracious bow. - - But where, it will be asked, are the police of Brighton, that have lately been modelled en the plan of the new police in the metropolis, and of whose efficiency so much has been said ? Sauntering up and down the town with their hands - behind them, these watchful guardians of the public scarcely ever enter a crowd, and thus the swell thieves are left undisturbed to draw the pockets of the King's lieges. It is, however, but fair' to add, that the Brighton police are wholly unacquainted with the persons - of the swell mob of London, and without some pre-gonehnowledge, few of them would be hardy enough to question the respectability of such well-dressed dashing fellows as Messrs. Prendergast and Gascoigne, who, in • imitation of many of the Brighton loungers, appear on the parade in the mornings, loosely attired in dressing . gowns and yellow slippers. During the late rejoicings at Brighton in honour - of his Majesty's visit, the swell mob were more than usually active, and the' loss of watches, pures, and every description of pot t able property was great in propoition.' On the following morning the town; crier with a face of more than usual importance, came forth with his bell, and a long list of missing property, and be ginning with " Oh yes 1" and ending with " God save the King," he enumerated the various .articles which had changed owners on the preceding night, amongst which were several watches, sundry bills of exchange, and divers Bank notes, not to mention an abundance of loose cash and a variety of private me morandums "of no use but to the owners." On several mornings since this occurred the crier has been similarly employed, and in the crowd which his bell attracts together may be seen some of the swell mob, apparently in high glee at the success of their speculation ' and mocking the us e l ess l a b our o f the crier, who, however, pockets a fee for every article he cries, and who, therefore, to his loyal finale of " God save the King," may add, " and the swell mob." A few days ago a very elegantly dressed • female was standing near the Pavilion, ac companied by some friends, when it was announced that his Majesty was approaching. A general move , merit was of course the consequence;' and the lady, in her anxiety to see his Majesty, was for a moment separated from her friends. In this dilemma a fashionably dressed man offered his services, and proceeded very politely to point the attention of th e lady to the Kin g , wh o w as just advancing. The eyes of the lady were for a moment rivetted upon his Ma jesty, and us soon as he passed she turned to think the gentleman to whose politeness she had been is debtor], but found that he was gone, and upon jon— ing her friends, she discovered that u valuable gold watch which she had worn appended to her side had vanished also. It is scarcely necessary to men tion -that the polite gentleman was one of the " swell mob." In short, the thieves of London, and more particularly those who are at the head o f fluter eity, have reaped a most plentiful harvest since the accession of his Majesty ; and so grateful do they feel for the many opportunities afforded them by his Majesty's frequent appearance in public, that they seem determined to follow him wherever his Royal pleasure may chance to lead him. It is a fact, that some of the swell thieves,. at present in London, are at this moment busily engaged in pack ing up preparatory to a tour of speculation to Ports mouth, where his Majesty, we believe, has signified his intention of proceeding shortly. We under stand, that it has been notified to some of the offi cial persons about the King, that a portion of his Majesty's light-fingered subjects are in the habit of pressing rather too close to the Royal person, and it is hoped that some experienced officer, to whom the persons of the swell mob are known, will in future be appointed to prevent such depredations upon the public as are now carrying on at Brighton. The presence of one or two experienced officers would rid the town of their presence in a very short time.—Morning Paper. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ))OW-BTBI ET. William Randall, the nvin who stood charged with having committed a rape upon Mary Ann Ito binaon, a child only eight years of age, was brought forward for a re-examination. in consequence of the father of the child having absconded from his lodgings, to prevent his giving evidence against the prisoner, a warrant had been issued for his appre hension, and placed in the bands of Mr. Thomas, the superintendent of the police, who discovered that the man had removed with his family to Leeds, and us there was no fund to pay the expenie 'of pursuing him to that place, and no means of compelling him to give evidence if he were brought forward, it was deemed advisable to forego the prosecution, and Sir' R. Dtion was reluctantly compelled to discharge the jrisoner. Sir R. ButNIR received - a letter from a Governor of the Royal Exchange, humanely offering to use his interest to obtain tin) admission to an orphan school of the infant brother of the unfortunate young woman, whose case was reported in The SOU of Wednesday, and who it appeared had supported the child from the wages of her prostitution. The Magistrate upon receipt of this letter . sent for Serjeunt M'Sweeney of F. division, who had dis closed the affecting particulars when the' young woman was charged at this office; and expressed .a strong desiie that she should be made acquainted with the benevolent intentions of the writer of the letter. In the course of the day the young woman, accompanied by her little brother, a fine boy only eight years old, were brought before Sir b y ,_se l j eaut M'Sweeney, who had used the most praiseworthy mallow; to discover their retreat, and the Magistrates bevies read the letter, the young woman appeared overjoyed at the offer it contained, and expressed -her grateful acknowledgme n t to the writer. Serjeant M'Sweency said that the young woman had at first told him that her name was Sarah John son, b ut (rum inquiries he had since made, he dis covered that her real name wits Alexander, adding that her story was true in every particular, and that s h e h ai l not only paid for her brother's maintenance, but had been the sole support of her mother timing her lust illness. Iler father had been for some time i n the employment of a mercantile house in the city as traveller, and her mother had lived as confidential servant with a Mr. Pellatt, who resided near St. Paul's-church-yard. Sir R. BIRNIF. gave Serjeant i 4 l'Sweeney a letter to the benevolent gentleman whose communication be bad received, with directions to proceed imme diately to his residence at Cornhill with the girl and her little brother. The Magistrate added, that he scarcely ever assisted in a charitable action that gave him more satisfaction. WORSIIIB.STREET. Mr. James Dove, a very respectable-looking person, about 40 years of age, stated to be a pro fessor of music, and very respectably connected, was on Saturday night charged, under circum stances of an aggravated nature, with an offence against public decency, and he and a woman named Save*, in company with him, were admitted to bail, for their re-appearance on Monday. They have never appeared since, however, and Mr. BaouGwroN, the Magistrate, was yesterday in formed that every endeavour had been made without success to find the defendant Dove, for he had ab sconded, and of course left the persons who bailed him liable for the amount of their reconizances. The following was the case against him, as proved by evidence :-- Michael Mahon, a police constable, No. 81, of the division N, went on duty at Stoke Newington, about five o'clock on Saturday evening, and observ ing a man lurking near Paradise-place and Devon shire-row, in a suspicious manner, followed him. Returning afterwards past Paradise-place, a lady called to him from a window of one of the houses, and informed him that she and her family had been compelled to leave their apartment, to avoid wit nessing the shocking indecent conduct of a man and woman in the rear of her house. Proceeding to the spot mentioned by the lady, he found the de fendants in a situation which cannot be here de scribed, and the prisoner Sweeting's daughter, a girl about 14 years of age, sitting at the distance of two or three yards from them, who gave notice of his approach, and they then all jumped up. The .woman begun crying, and said she could not see her daughter starve, and that the gentleman was going to pay her well. The defendant Dove begged of the officer to let him depart, and offered to give him some money, but he did not name any sum. Mr. Bittot.tultToN asked if the spot where the de fendants were discovered could be seen from other houses besides the one already mentioned ?—The officer said it was directly in view of a whole row of houses in Paradise-place, not above 20 yards from them, and no one could look from any window of those houses, °times the New River, which is equally distant on the other side,_ without seeing all that took place. It was then broad day-light, not more than half-past five o'clock. Mr. BROUGHTON asked if it ceuld be possible for a woman to expose her own child to the witnessing of such a scene ?—The officer believed the girl was Sweeting's daughter, and the man whom he had first seen lurking about was her husband. He came up while they were proceeding to the station-house, and was going to take the girl.away, but was pre vented, and Sweeting then said, " That is my daughter, and my husband, and you have no right to take the girl, for she has not done any harm." Mahon added, that while on the way to the sta tion-house he felt the gentleman slipping his hand behind his back. He did not like that, and told the defendant he had better walk before, and then people would not see that he was in custody. He observed something wrapped in white paper in the defendant's hand, and asked him if it was snuff, and he said no. At the station-house the prisoner said, " Where is that money I gave you ?" He denied having any money, and asked to be searched, and was searched by direction of his serjeant, and it was ascertained that he had no money about him ; but the defendant presently afterwards laid hold of his coat-pocket, ;saying, there was money in it, and putting his hand in produced the white paper before spoken of, containing some money, which he de clared he had previously given to the witness, and had then found in his pocket. Sedeant Pitt, No. 14, N, and two other officers, all swore most positively to the search of Mahon's pockets, and that he had only a farthing in one, and a slice of bread in the other pocket. In the paper which the defendant p r et e nd e d to h ave f oun d in the pocket, there was Is. 2d.; but he said there was more than that, and a tad. was picked up from the ground, where it was evident he must have dropped it before he put his hand into the pocket. Mr. BROUGHTON asked Mr. Dove if he meant now to say that he did give money to the constable. —The defendant said " Yes," He did not know how much, but it was till he had about him. Mr. BaouGnToti—What are you, Sir ?—The defendant, who had assumed the mime of James Wilson, declined stating publicly, but handed his card to the Magistrate, with the description above stated. Mr. littouotrrotv—lf this is your card, you ought lo be a respectable man, but your conduct, us sworn to, is a disgrace to any profession. De fondant—lt is a combination against me. The fact is, that this woman met me and told me of her dis tress, and I was going to give her some money. The Magistrate being► told that the woman's hus band and daughter were at the office-door, ordered them before him. The luisband lived over the water, and 'having been disabled from work by an accident, was now pinched with want. He had gone up to Stoke New ington to see a person from whom he expected some relief, and had left his wife and child only a few minutes, and when he returned found the policeman and the gentleman at high words, but he did not believe that the ollieer's statement was true. The daughter a very fine girl of 14, being ques tioned by the Magistrate, said they lived near the Coburg Theatre, and her mother was a flower maker. They were walking near Paradise-place whew they met the gentleman, and her mother be gan to tell him how poor they were, and then de sired her to go to the corner and wait, and perhaps the gentleman would give her some money. She saw nothing impropir. Mahon laid the girl was sitting with her back to them not above three yards off. Mr. IlitoutiuToN bad no doubt, that the officer spoke the truth. He should not before have be lieved it possible that two' persons could be found so depraved as to expose themselves by day-light in a situation where they might be seen by the ladies or children, or feniale servants, from the win dews of a whole row of houses. But he-was at a loss for language to say what he felt of the infamy of a mother who could lead her own child into such an abominable scene. • The Magistrate remanded them till Monday, and at the - police station bail was taken for their re-ap pearance. The bail taken for Sweeting, however, proved to he worthless, and the bail of Mr. Dove no w asked for relief from the responsibility which they bad incurred. Mrs. Dove, who is a. very interesting-looking young woman, had not seen her husband since last Sunday. fie had left her in great distress, but she did not so much care for herself, as she was anxious that the. bail should not suffer. She did not believe him to have been guilty of the conduct imputed to him. Mr. BROUGHTON asked her how - long she had been married to him ? She said she had been married to him fifteen years, and was at tha t ti me f ° e n ss ly in fl u f e t l ee m n a y l e i. ars l o le f ahgaed. Her husband w as a pro before been in the army, an d was in France at the time, the English were detained there by order of Bonaparte. Mr. BuovonTON received a letter, soliciting in dulgence for the bail from defendant's father, at T o ttenham, who said that his son had given him a wor ld of trouble. m r a. Dove said she was sure he was incapable of the alleged misconduct. The Magistrate /hid the evidence was very clear, but assured that the bail h a d d one all in their {,owe le r ig t n oprodttee Mr. Dove, and would continue to do t o, he would do what lay in his power to Serve them. The parties then left the dice. ' A species of animals, with very long bills, have lately been seen in various parts of the country.

Yesterday a Vestry Meeting was summoned to make a poors'-rate, for the purpose of raising a fur ther sum of money required by warrant of the jus tices appointed under the Act of 10 Geo. IV., c. 44, entitled " An Act for Improving the Police in and near the IMetropolis." The meeting became so nu merous, that as soon as Mr. Bowditch was called to the chair, a motion was put and carried, to adjourn from the vestry-room to the church. Mr. BOWDITCII, after giving a statement of the parish funds, informed the meeting that it would be necessary, to meet the present demand, that a rate of 6d. per pound should be levied. The Chairman produced the warrant, couched in the most peremp tory terms, ordering the payment of 1,056/. 13s. 4d., within the space of forty days from the date of deli very of the warrant. Mr. MEYMOTT, vestry-clerk, in answer to a num ber of questions, stated that it was not quite seven months since the same sum, 1,0561. 13s. 4d., had been levied in the parish for the same purpose, at which rate the inhabitants were paying double the amount of what they were charged under the old Act, when they were infinitely better watched, and had in the parish, the boundaries of which are but limited, the services of 25 watchmen. He could not say what number of the new police were em ployed in the parish, although he had, by applica tions to the Commissioners, repeatedly made inquiry, and most strongly urged the importance of his re ceiving a statement to produce to the vestry. To these applications Mr. Meymott had received only evasive answers. Mr. BROWN moved, as an amendment to the mo tion, that had been put to levy a sixpenny rate, that a representation should be made to the Commisti oners, of the impossibility of the money being raised, and that, heavily rated us that parish is already, it could not support this additional expense. Mr. WILKINSON made another motion to the same effect. Mr. FORD moved that the churchwardens should wait upon the Commissioners in person, and obtain the information which Mr. Meymott had been un successful in obtaining; and to inform them that it was estimated that not more than. 7001. or 800!. were expended in watching Chrigt-church parish, and that it was only reasonable that the inhabitants should be made acquainted with the circumstances that caused them to be called upon for upwards of 2,1001. per annum. number of gentlemen addressed the meeting on the police system generally, who were opposed to its existence, and a number of instances were cited of its unconstitutional character, its palpable ineffi ciency in this parish, and its insupportably oppressive expense. Mr. 114EYMOTT then read a series of resolutions, embodying the complaints of the meeting, and de manding the information required for the satisfaction of the vestry, and these resolutions to be forwarded to the Commissioners, craving an immediate answer, and that no rate should be made at present, but the vestry should adjourn till Thursday next. The re solutions were carried unanimously. The whole meeting likewise expressed themselves determined to have a petition prepared by the time that Parliament assembled, to have the present Po lice Bill repealed. SECOND EDITION.
