duet of a policeman, and to ask the Magistrate's ad vice. She said that one of her boys had been ordered that morning to go and sweep a chimney in Ilaydoo-square, and on his ringing the bell and call ing out "sweep," to inform the servant of his arrival, he was taken into custody by a policeman, and taken to the watch-house, and she wished to Shave the Magistrate's advice as to what she was to do under these circumstances, for if her boys were mot allowed to call " sweep," she would lose her business. Hovenden, the inspector, said, that the truth of the case was this,—the boy had, by the account of the policeman, been calling " 51N-cep" at five o'clock in the morning, which was against the policeman's orders, and also contrary to the Act of Parliament, which strictly enjoins that " sweep'' shall not be called before seven in the morning, nor after twelve. As it was the first time, however, he let the boy go, as he wished to do his duty calmly and discrirni natel.y, and give yvarning before he punished any body. Mr. WALKER said, he had acted very properly, and told the applicant she must in future endeavour to let her boys go about without calling " sweep." Several of the parish officers and inhabitants of Whitechapel came to Mr. Walker and stated, that a part of their parish called the Tenter Ground, which was an open square to which notorious bad characters resorted Flt night, was left entirely un guarded by the new police. Inspector llovenden said, that the case should be represented to the Commissioners, and he had no doubt it would be remedied. Mr. WALKER told the inspector to pay immediate attention to it, which he said he would do. An old respectable-looking woman applied to Mr. WALKER for advice under the following circum stances :—She had a daughter at present lying dead in Guy's Hospital. Her daughter belonged to 'Whitechapel parish, having gained a settlement there by servitude. She had only until next Thursday to get the body of her daughter, and the parish of Whitechapel refused to bury her, and she \las ut terly unable to do so. Smith, the beadle, said it was quite impossible or the parish to bury the girl when they had nothing to do with her. She was not sent into the hospital from their parish. The applicant was afraid that if her daughter's body were not buried by the parish, it would not be buried at all. The Magistrates told the applicant that they had no power to interfere. As to her thinking that the body of her daughter would not be buried, it was quite out of the question. The hospital had, no doubt, a place dedicated for that purpose. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SlR,—Having read in the Times paper of Tuesday last an account of the inquest I took the preceding day on Lord Gras es, I think it most proper to make the follow ing communication to you, which, perhaps, in justice to all parties, you will consider it but right to make public. On Sunday evening Mr. Renard (in whose house Lord Graves resided) called upon me at my house in Dean street, to communicate the event, requesting that I would, on his own account, at my earliest convenience, hold the inquest. I told him, that in this case, as in all others, I must proceed in the regular way, and that as soon as the beadle of the parish should officially wait upon me for the warrant to summon the Jury,•l would grant it ; and that, indeed, it would be matter of convenience to me to take the inquest the following morning early, in my way to nay office at Westminster, as Monday was usually a busy day. The beadle did accordingly apply to me for the warrant, and the hour I named was a quarter before ten ; and as a proof of the convenience this early hour was to me, I can state that I had to take four other inquests, if practicable, on that day. Finally, I beg most positively to state that it was not at the request cr suggestion of any person,whatever in any wise connected with the deceased that I fixed the hour I did : for from the time of the death of Lord Graves until the evening of yesterday, I never had any communication whatever, in the remotest way, directly or indirectly, with any part of the family, or with any person connected with the family or otherwise, when it was communicated to me from a Noble Marquis nearly connected with the deceased, that, in consequence of the many calumnious reports abroad, he much wished that I could hold another inquest, in order that the closest investigation might take place, when every friend and relative of the deceased would be ready to attend and to answer any questions whatever which might be judged proper to put to them. In answer, I felt myself obliged to explain, that it was not in my power to comply with the wishes of the family to summon another Jury, as I considered that the inquest had been duly taken, and when it was so satisfactorily proved that the deceased did de stroy himself, not being at the moment of committing the act of sound mind, and the Jury having expressed themselves to me perfectly satisfied with the evidence given, and not wishing or requiring to have any other witness called, although it was offered. 1 am, Sir, your very obedient servant, J. 11. GELL, Coroner. Cloisters, Westminster Abbey, Feb. 10. P.S. Perhaps it is of no material consequence, but allow me to add, that the inquest was held in a public room, open to all parties, and in fact several persons were in the room besides the parties immediately concerned, and the investigation occupied near two hours. On Sunday morning se'nnight, about nine o'clock, a man was discovered lying on his back in a tur nip-field close to Manningtree, frozen to death. He was recognized as a person named SEALER, a carpenter, at Lawford ; and it appears that about nine o'clock the pre vious evening he left the Cock inn, Alanningtree, where he had been drinking, in a state of intoxication, for the purpose of proceeding homeward; and it is supposed that ,he missed his path, and, being overpowered from the ;..i'effects of is liquor he had taken, fell and was unable to fiet up again, and in that state had gone to sleep. His hat and a basket he had with him were found at a short distinca from hint. He was a person greatly addicted to „.. rr drinking---Bosto rt Guzette. • . ribr • • LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1830. Despatches were received at the Foreign Office, this morning, from Mr. ASTON, the British Minister at the Brazils, dated the 19th December; from the British: Minister at Lis bon, dated the 31st of January ; and also from Lord STUART DE ROTHSAY at Paris,:and Sir CHARLES BAGOT at Brussels. The French Papers of Monday revive the re port of an expedition to Algiers, which is said to have been at length resolved upon in the Council of Thursday evening. It is said that 25,000 men will compose the army, the chief command of which General BOURMONT, the present Mi nister of War, has reserved to himself. Admiral DUPERRE is spoken of as commander of the fleet ; General LA HITTE, of the Artillery; and General VALAZE, of the Engineers, is to direct the operations of the siege. The thaw seems to have set in at Paris about the same time as in London—on Sunday. On the Paris Exchange on Saturday the Funds were on the rise. A vast deal was done in the Rentes Espagnols, and at a decided ad vance. The rise extended to the old Cortes Bonds, which were in demand at 15 ; and it is hoped that they will obtain from the Spanish Government the concession granted to the Dutch Loan.

Yesterday, at evening, arrived in this port the Portuguese brigantines Vencedor and Fier do Afar, the first after eighty-two days, and the other seventy three days' voyage. The Captains of both con tradict the statement of the Brazilian brigantine Imperalriz Amelia, which arrived in this port on the 14th, to the effect that four frigates were fitting out at Rio de Janeiro, and that the Don Pedro I. was quite ready for sea. On the contrary, the Captains of the Vencedor and Flor do Mar state that the ship of the line was at anchor in the Posco, but only for the dignity of the port; and that they believe that it is not in a state to make a voyage. The frigates which had conveyed the Empress and the Princess of Grand Para were laid up, and there was no reason to suppose that they would soon be fitted out for sea. JAN. 27.—The Gazette gives an account of a great fire which had on the 3d January, destroyed the building with six windows in front, towards the Terreiro de Paco, in the palace of the late Baron de Sobral; twelve towards the street Ourives da Prata, and ten towards the street of the Capellistai. Two persons perished in the flames, and a fireman was killed by a fall ; twenty-one were wounded, but are now doing well. We have news from Brazil to the 20th of December. The Imperial Family were over turned in their carriage, but escaped serious danger ! What would not Don MIGUEL have given if the young Queen had left him without a rival. A change of Ministry took place, the names of which are announced in the following extracts. There is nothing said about the Loan, or' the expedition against Portugal : (From the Diario Fluminense.) RIO DE JANEIRO, DEC. 3. Yesterday his Majesty gave an audience to the Baron de Palenca, Envoy Extraordinary and Mini ster Plenipotentiary from the Emperor of Russia to this Court, who had the honour to deliver his cre dentials. DEC. 7.—A letter from the Marquis de Aracaty, dated sth December, to the officers of his depart ment, announces that by a decree of that day his Majesty had removed him from the Department of Foreign Affairs, and he expresses his satisfaction with the zeal which they have manifested during the time he held the office. This is followed by a letter from these officers, expressing their gratitude. DEc. 9.—His Majesty, by a decree of the 4th instant, has been pleased to appoint— The Marquis de Caravellos to be Minister of the Interior. The Marquis Barbacena, of Finance. The Conde de Rio Pardo, of War. The Marquis de Puranagus, of Marine ; and Miguel Calmon du Pin de Almeida, of Foreign Affairs. On the 7th their Imperial Majesties, and the Queen Donna Maria and the Duke of Leuchten berg, being on their return to Boa Vista, the pole of the carriage broke, and the horses becoming un manageable the carriage Ivas overturned. This unfortunate circumstance might have had fatal con sequences, but it is hoped that it wili be attended with no other effects than those of an ordinary acci dent. Their Majesties and his Royal Highness being conveyed to the house of the Marquis d e Cantagallo were immediately attended by the sur geon• of tho household and others, and after a care ful investigation it appeared that the Emperor f►ll ing on his right side was senseless for fire minutes, when he recovered, and was placed in an easy posi tion. It was found that he. had fractured the sth and ith ribs, and had a slight contusion on the fore head. That the Empress had received no injury beyond the alarm and terror natural osi such an occasion. That her most faithful Majesty had received a very severe contusion on the right side of the face and head. That the Duke of Leuchtenberg bad dislocated the right elbow. The Emperor, who shows on all occasions the greatest courage, did not fail on this occasion, and desired to confess, which he did, not that it was necessary, but because he will have acts of reli gion precede all other duties. Their Majesties arid his Royal Highness are in such a state that their recovery may be hoped in the time necessary under such circumstances. Their Majesties remained iR the house of the Marquis de Cantagallo; and the Duke, after the dislocation was reduced, was removed to his resi dence. The bulletin is signed.by 17 surgeons and phy sicians. By the two bulletins it seems that the Duke of Leuchtenberg had, besides dislocating the elbow, broken the upper part of xhe radius of the right urm. DEC. 14.--The Diario of this date gives the ninth bulletin of the iiellth of their Majesties and the Duke; and the patients being now considered in as favourable a state as can be expected the phy sician has declared it unnecessary to issue any more bulletins : it may be expected that his Majesty will be perfectly recovered in a fortnight. On the 19th December a tenth bulletin was issued, nothing having occurred since the 9th except that it had been necessary on the 17th to open a tumour on the right side, caused by the fall. His Majesty passed the 17th very well, but has had some fever on the 18th; he has had a good night, however, and is better to-day (the 19th). fhe appointment of the Parliamentary Com mittees for inquiry into the affairs of the East India Company is the necessary prelude to the changes that may hereafter take place with re gard to that body. There is no machinery so well calculated to collect the requisite facts for forming a correct judgment on any political question as a Select Committee of the House of Commons, provided the Members of it are chosen with tolerable fairness, as in the present instance. The addition of the gentlemen sug gested by Mr. HusxissoN and Mr. Humn would be desirable, and it would then be not very material whether a Director or two were included, though it appears somewhat anomalous that Directors should have the charge of ex amining into matters which are carried on under their own immediate management. The whole tone of Mr. PEEL'S speech is fair and considerate, and it is satisfactory to find that Government profess to enter upon the in quiry without any previous bias in favour of the existing system. So far from saying off hand, like his colleague at the Board of Controul, that the Charter may probably be renewed next year, Mr. PEEL has stated expressly " that he did " not propose this Committee with a view " to sanctioning any previous engagement with " the Government. No such thing was in " existence, and in any future proceeding they " must be guided according to the result of the " inquiry." This is as it should be, and it therefore remains to be seen whether the Com pany or its opponents will adduce the more for. cible evidence in support of their respective alle gations. The high importance of the question, and the moral duties it involves, are admitted on both sides, and we are glad to hear Mr. PEEL recognising, moreover, the obligation the British Government is under to make compen. sation to the Indian people for the situation i n zchich circumstances have placed them ; or, in plain terms, for the outrageous injuries they have suffered under the British rule. Such com pensation will, in our judgment, be best made by providing for the natives a full and free admi nistration of justice, which, as Mr. WHITMORE observed, is one of the most important objects to which the Committee can turn its attention. Not only are the delays in the procedure of the native Courts, and the interminableness of the appeals from thence, serious evils ; but the great distance of the several Courts from each other, and the insufficient supply of Judges to each, are defects in the legal system which all persons acquainted with India are unani mous in reprobating. These must be forth with remedied by introducing native Judges, and whether Indian or British, the dignity and in dependence of the Judge must be secured against such violations as that which occurred in the case of Mr. COURTENAY SMITII. The native Courts and the King's Courts must be con sidered equally sacred from those molestations on the part of the Executive, which Lord ELLENBOROUGH and Mr. G. BANKES SO hopelessly attempt still to justify. It must no longer be instilled into the Bench, that " errors " in matter of law are nothing in comparison with " those the Bombay Judges have committed in " delivering their speeches from the Bench," but it must be proclaimed that Governors, troops, and Revenue Officers, are only means for at taining a given end, and that such end is the maintenance of the Judges upon their seats, pronouncingof' which th e enunc i a ti o n has been the committedlw,a to them, without fear or favour, or respect of persons in authority or out of authority. 'We have been much amused at hearing that a quantity of tea, purchased on the continent, has arrived at 'Westminster., to be tasted by such Noble Lords and Honourable Gentlemen as are connoisseurs in this beverage, with a view to compare it with that which the Company is obliging enough to supply us with. Now, there is, we believe, a London Milk Company, be sides the great Tea Company, and we therefore suggest, whether it would not be as well that an instruction should be given to the Committee to taste some of this milk, while they arc about it, and see whether it surpasses that of the private traders in milk, since if its superiority should be ascertained, it would be equally expedient to establish by Charter a milk monopoly, as a tea monopoly. There should be some general prin ciple of legislation in these matters, and there fore, if it ke the recognized duty of Parliament to interfere with the meat and drink the people choose to use, and to take measures to prevent them from sipping dusty tea, and sky-blue milk, if they please, it is all very well ; but as we are not yet aware of any such principle, we protest against embarrassing the question of the justice and policy of opening the China trade, by enquiring whether the London Bohea, or the Hamburg Bohea, is the best article. It is a most proper enquiry to ascertain, for some time back, the invoice prices at Canton, and by comparing them with the London sale prices in bond, to determine whether the Company's profits be not enhanced, to the cost of the public, by the monopoly. This it is the bounden duty of Parliament to ascertain, be cause the existence of such a monopoly would be equivalent to a tax upon the country ; but to perpetuate a monopoly for the avowed purpose of enabling the public to drink good tea, is just as unjustifiable as if its object were bad tea ; for we hold it our indubitable right to drink tea of any quality we like best, and even to go the length, if we choose, of drinking no tea at all. The examinations before the Committee will be, we apprehend, most multifarious, it being deemed expedient to divide the different branches of the subject among several Committees. The evidence may be retrospective, referring back to any period of the Company's Government which it shall be desirable to bring into notice. The Ministers promise full and unreserved informa tion ; and we trust the result will be the esta lishment of our relations with India and China on the footing which the circumstances of our industrious classes, and the best interests of both Great Britain and her Eastern dominions, appear imperatively to require.

Dr. CA LAMY'S historical account of his own life and times must be considered as one of the most va luable additions to national history and private biography which ever issued from the press. His days were passed in a remarkable period, teeming with strange characters and stranger events, particularly as regards religion on the one hand, and the open and professed profligacy of the Court on the other. Dr. CALAMY lived during the reigns of CHA R LES the SECOND, JAMES the SECOND, and WILLIAM the THIRD ; and his private Memoirs supply facts of the utmost curiosity, which were unknown to those acute observers and diarists, EVELYN and PEPYS. HORRID MURDER.—It is with feelings of regret we state that this county has been the scene of a most diabolical murder. On the morning of Sunday, the 31st ult., an industrious labouring man, named Wir.t.taat W ic as, who resided alone at Bismore, in the parish of Bisley, was discovered to have been most inhumanly butchered in his own dwelling. A woman who washed for him on entering the house found the body most hor ribly disfigured about the head and face, by several mortal blow* from a hatchet, and the murderous instrument lying near him. His supper remained untouched upon the table, and the house was completely ransacked for plun der. The poor fellow was reputed to have some money in his possession, which is of course supposed to have been the inducement for the commission of this horrible crime. There is reason to believe that the murder was perpetrated on the Friday night preceding. No traces of the actors in this cruel tragedy could be discovered till Tuesday, the,2d inst., when some circumstances led to the apprehension of THOMAS Cox, his son Wist. Cox, both weavers, and WARREN, the woman who gave the alarm, with whom the latter cohabited. An inquest is now being held, for the purpose of investigating the particulars of the dreadful transaction. — Cheltenham Chronicle. Last week a circumstance occurred in York street, Westminster, near Buckingham-gate, of rather a singular nature. An old woman, named SUSAN MAsoN, upwards of 80 years of age, who lived at the alms-house No. 7, in York-street, died after a short illness. An un dertaker was, of course, called in, who took the dimensions far the coffin, and in due time it was sent for the corpse. It, however, so happened that the undertaker's men, in car rying the coffin to the house, inquired which was Mrs. MASON'S, and were directed to the alms-house No. 6, where resided DINAH MAsoN (no relation to the deceased), an old woman 97 years of age. The men knocked at the door of No. 6, which was opened by poor old DINAH, whose consternation and surprise may be better conceived than described on being told they had brought Mrs. MASON'S coffin. The mistake was soon discovered, and the coffin taken by the men to the right house ; but the mistake had such an effect on the nerves of poor DINAH, that she was taken ill immediately afterwards, and died the following day, supposed to be from the shock she received from the men bringing the coffin to her abode. DUBLIN, FEB. B.—A most melancholy in stance of the effects of the " master passion" occurred in this city a few days since. A young gentleman, most respectably connected with families in the county of Gal way, has been for some time in this city acquiring the profession of medicine or surgery. In the course of his acquaintance he met, and formed an intimacy with, a young lady, a Miss H—or—N. Some barriers existed to the accomplishment of that ultima thule of all lovers' happiness—matrimony; and the gentleman took it so much to heart that he determined death should put an end to his misery. On the evening when he resolved to put, his fatal plan into execution, one of his friends called on him and found hint seated at a table writing. There appeared something wild in his looks and incoherent in his expres sions, and his friend asked hint what was the !natter. He said, " It is all over with me !" and at the same time handed him a letter he had just written and folded, but which was not superscribed. His friend perceived a small phial lying on the fender. lie suspected all was not right, and, taking it up, found it to have contained corrosive subli mate. Medical aid was called in and the stomach pump applied, hut he resisted at first every attempt to relieve him, until eight persons were procured to hold him down. T'ie deadly draught had done its work ; and though every means were tried, all was unsuccessful—the young min lingered four days, and died. All was hushed up with the utmost secrecy, and the body conveyed down to the family burial-place in the country. No inquest was held ; and I have heard that an order has been transmitted to the Coroner of the county where his remains lie, to disin ter the body, and examine witnesses touching his death. He was a gentleman of most amiable anti unexceptionable character I have heard, and that the lady possesses charms of which a Peeress might be proud. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY).

At the sitting of the Court this morning judgment Wag given in several cases, none of which possessed any public interest, relating entirely to dry points of law. ♦PPLICATION TO STRIKE AN ATTORNEY OFF TAX ROLLS. GRIFFITHS V. HUTCHINSON. Mr. DENMAN showed cause against a rule obtained 0 0 a former day by Mr. Gurney, calling upon Mr. Julio° Hutchinson, an attorney of this Court, to show cause whi he should not deliver up to Edward Griffith,, upon the payment of 254., certain deeds and papers, and why he should not be struck off the rolls. It appeared front the affidavits upon which the rule was granted, that the de fendant is an attorney of considerable practice, living in Lincoln's Inn, and the facts are as follows :—Mr. Hutchin • son's father was a gentleman of great landed and other pro' pert}', and the plaintiff's wife lived with that gentleme n for some years as his housekeeper. Mr. Hutchinson , sen., however, unfortunately joined some other gentleme n in a banking establishment, which afterwards stoppe d payment, and he became a bankrupt. Subsequently to the bankruptcy, in the year 1811, he made a will, to which he bequeathed 500/. to his housekeeper, the Wi fe of the plaintiff; but on account of the bankruptcy affair s not being settled, it could not be made available tip to the year 1826. In that year, the plaintiff and big wife being in great distress, and having an execution in, their house for rent, went to Mr. Hut c hi nson , who ha d frequently promised them assistance, when he took ad vantage of their distress, and purchased their right to the legacy of 5001. for a sum of 25/. The affidavits then stated that Hutchinson shortly after lie had persuaded th e plaintiffs to sell their legacy, received the full amoun t of 500/. The Learned Counsel said, if this account ha d , been true, Mr. Hut c hi nson , w h o was a gent l eman n'e l ' known in the profession, had been guilty of great mean; ness ; but he had explained it in that way which he hope"„ would be satisfactory to the Court, and th a t they won!" discharge the rule. The real facts were these plaintiff's wife certainly was left a legacy of 5001. by the defendant's father, but the affairs under his bankruptcy bad not to the present day been settled. It was also true that 5001. had been received by the administrator to the will, but it was probable a suit in Chancery might b e necessary, and then that sum would, in the first plac e ,' he applicable to the cos t s . The sum they recoifeu did not arise from any property in the possession of M r ' Hutchinson, sen. at the time of his death, but as hi s estate had paid a dividend of 12s. 6d. in the pound, it wa ll the proceeds of the allowance agreeable to the Act of Par' liament. The plaintiffs came to Mr. Hutchinson in 1132 1 1 in great distress, and he out of the purest charity, advised them to sell the legacy ; he had not at that time the most remote idea that it would ever be worth one farthing. Out of charity, however, as he before said, he advanced them Si., and afterwards at different times other smell sums, amounting in the whole to 25/. Mr. Hutchinson had filed an affidavit of these facts, and alsJ stated, that the lee hundred pounds had been paid to the ad ministrator under his father's will, and it was probable that demands for more than that stun might be made against him. It was also alleged against the defendant that he had bought the legacy in another person's name. This WAS the only circumstance in his (Mr. Denman's) opinion that cast any imputation against the defendant. Bu t this was a circumstance well known to the plaintiffs St the time, for he expressly told them he was the purchasers but that he wished to have the assignment in another name. The parties conducting this application were Messrs. Rankin and Richards, the solicitors to Mr. Welles. ley, and it was proper the Court should be informed that Mr. Hutchinson was the solicitor to the Misses Long during the progress of the Wellesley cause through the Court 0 1 Chancery. It was unnecessary to allude to the disputes in that cause, but ever since his client had been annoyed in every possible way, and this case had been hunted out for that purpose. It was one of the most cruel motions that had ever been made, and that against a gentleman whot to vindicate himself, was reluctantly obliged to set forth the difficulties in which his father had been involved, and who had for a number of years supported himself with the greatest honour and credit. Mr. Cazxrry followed on the same side. He would only' state that the defendant was a gentleman of the highes t character. Mr. GURNEY i❑ support of the rule said, if the de fendant was a gentleman of such high respectability, 13° could assure the Court the gentlemen who instructed bin' were equally respectable. The affidavits filed by rlr. Hutchinson gave little or no explanation : they were , however, very voluminous, and containing four pages of the grossest abuse, directed against gentlemen of equal re spectability with himself. lie would now inform their Lordships what the case was. In 1811 Mr. Hutchinson , sen. died, leaving an annuity of 501. per year to the plain tiff's wife, to he paid out of property which might be re ceived out of the bankruptcy estate ; but if that sun' should not be thus received, to pay her 500/. out of any other money that might come into the hands of bis exc.. tutor. Lord TENTERDIN—But were there any debts owing, Mr. Gurney? Mr. GURNEY—No, my Lord, not 301. The parties , as the Court had heard, were distressed, and they wished to sell the legacy, for which purpose they had several in terviews with the defendant, who told them it would never be worth a farthing. They said they would be will' ing to take 1501. for it, but he laughed at them as foolish ; and after several other interviews, he said he h a d pre' vailed upon a person who speculated in those kind 0 1 things to give them 251. for it, and if they did not sell it they would never get a sous. There were affidavits, Oat , ing at this very time, or within a few days afterwards, be actually received the full amount of the legacy, vie , 5001. The Court would thus see that this attorney bad persuaded his clients, poor ignorant creatures, at a period when they were labouring under the greatest distress, to sell their interest of 5001. for 251. And even this paltry sum was doled out to them a pound or two at a time, and from first to last, at a distance of more than four months) although at the time he had their money in his pocket. A case of greater hardship never came before the Court. lie trusted the rule would he made absolute. Lord TINTERDEN said the Court were of opinion th e best course to be adopted would be to refer it to the Master, to ascertain what sum of money the defendant ought to pay in principal and interest, and also the costs of this rule. Referred to the Master. Tuesday the police force was extended to the district of Clerkenwell, denominated the letter G divi sion, of which the limits are Saffron-hill, Gray's-inn road, Islington, Shoreditch, Finsbury, Barbican, and Smithfield. The force, which was appointed by the Cmnmissioners on Saturday for this division, consists of ISO men, the usual number of inspectors, and a s uper' intendent. Very few of the old watchmen have, we t io' derstand, been selected, although near l y th e w h o l e b o dy ° f them applied for appointments, ON expec proce suspil appea gener landh MI ini cann( true press super In the fl him ; and t if be MUIR' his Ti HOW Some away natio attrit chast time years have dist r time! with ever it is the mean in or redo( tent ltri a l bein E not r tome tried alter ecorn office mina !Von In en color pala c ever ) cmet slow Th e term and clEc€ for tl depa , quies tame the r amoi Colo dang resoL to ac try, inflic butt glory tails, vaga win the the Lord grea W OUI requ ;rlVe J E •-. for ,
