REDUCTIONS in the PUBLIC OFFICES. OBSEayATIOYS,-*ehiefly in 'REPLY to REMARKS made in PARLIAMENT during the last SESSION, on the, SUBJECT of GOVERNMENT CLERKS. By "A CLERK. This. is a; well-written and spirited examina tion bf the grounds on which it is proposed to reduce . the Salaries of the Clerks in the Public Offices. The writer, we think, has succeeded in shewing that the measure is harsh, unjust, and impolitic;. and if. Government can be satisfied that it is so, we cannot entertain a moment's doubt that it will be abandoned-. The -author hai selected from Parliamentary Reports and other sources the following passages, which he givei as the heads on which it is the, purpos• of his , work more particularly to comment • 1. Reduction of Salaries in all the departments of the public service was now under the consideration Of Uovern tnent.'"—Sir C. Lox°. : 2. " I never can hear in the House a prOpOsition to give Oa? same Salaries now as in former, years, however large their amount. I call upon the Landed Gentlemen- particularly - not to lose sight of this very important question ;--they'corild not colleCt their rents,' the fume; co.eld not dispose of-his pioduce, and aitooit every clilsof 'men "had to deplOre the •sarrieufer whilm;ng depreciatiop. J,....tberefote, see - no reason why' per sona in public offices, ,and they who, are.annuitants upon'tht public, should be exempted- - alone from any deCrease of means ov fluctuation of ptoperty.'2 . --tLord 4)1t1.1' ON. 3. " k was said the salaries of the Clerks could not be re duced, because there was no reduction in the prices of provi sions ;•very ore, hOwever,*whii ifiainotdepending 'on the .00 7 vernment for his salary,-LLevery one who had any thirig with land ; knew very well there was a considerable reduc, HumE. 4. thnk, with regard tq the salaries of persons in office r they ought' to be reduced in proportion to the depreciation of the neeeusaries of 'W. BUItREL;.. 5. •° The Honourable Oentleman nest adverted. to the wages of the Ordnance Clerics, Which had been . successively raised to meet the high prices of the times, and asked why they were not now reduced in proportion to the value of money and rtmoval of the Income Tai."—Mr. Humr. 6. " I disapprove of increasing Clerks' Salaries after three years' service : the additional income should only fall on the industrious and efficient Clerks."—Mr. HumE. 7. " I should, like to see a Clerk with 14001. - 'a year for the mere curiosity of the thing.- (Laughter.)—l should be glad to see how the gentlemen travel to office, whether in tilbury or curride."—(Laughter.)—Mr. Car EVE Y. 8. " I should like to compare one of these officialists with some brave officer who, having purchased his commission in the first instance, had fought up his way to honour and promo tion, and having, at length, for'his service, been called to the Peerage, received only 20001. a year as a compensation for his services and to support the of the Peerage. What comparison Could- be made between the two individuals."— Mr. C4EFvEY. 9. " Government does not require GENTpI.IIEN for Clerks —more modest servanti will suit." 10. " If the Clerks feel aggrieved, they have. the power of relinquishing their Places : Other persons will be but too happy to occupy them." On the first of these heads ourauthor remarks, that the - Government, by," contemplating a re duction in the Clerks' salaries," have assumed that they poSesS the right to reduce them."--- Tbis assumption _he, strongly c on t es ts, on th e .eround that the Clerks have a vested interest, which cannot with fairness be - infringed upon, the Clerks having ent ere d upon . their offices un der" settled, positive,and determinate rules," en titling them to certain salaries," subject tow: Ip-tril lion in proportion to the length of'service spent by them in those ofitces,.as well as to certain allow= ances„guaranteed by 50th , Geo. 111. cap. 117, in case, after fixed periods, they were desirous of retiring from their situations." On the second head, he remarks, that though great depression has taken place in the value of agricultural and other produce, since the conclusion of the war, it does not therefore foll ow that a corresponding reduction should be made in the salaries of the public servants, since their salaries did not ad vance during the war, in an equal ratio, to that elevated point frorn.which other interests have declined. We have not room to•give the whole of the writer's clear and satisfactory reasonings upon this part of his subject, but must content ourselves with the following'passage " Let us pause for one moment on the rental of land, or the price of any article, natural or artificial, previous to the late war ; let us look at it before the pinch of the present day com menced,—nay, in nunieroui instances, let us consider it even at this very moment ; does no difference, no disproportion, no increase appear ? I should think a very considerable change would be found to have taken place ; and to 'what can such change be mainly ascribed, if not to the war and . the. circum stances which it pioduced ? It is the war that has more than trebled the renfroll of every great landed proprietor in the kingdom,t and put princely fortunes into the-pockets of many a contractor ; but now the tide has turned, prices are ebbing back again to theirformerdevel, to that level which, but for the war, they 'never would have quitted. Have we here of the surprising ! Can we .be struck with . astonishment ? Is:this course of events unnatural ? Has it not, on the Contrary; re peatedly happened in our history? - Ougfit'tiot‘the Opul s elit to have been prepared for the alteratio ? Prepared or not, ought he not quietly and- willingly to comply with it ? Whet, if a man buys into the funds at 50; and they should afterwards, fortunately for him, rise to 100, has he an excuse to complain, if prices once more revert to 50? 'By what right, I.sliould be glad to learn, could • such a man . grumble ? .yet precisely to this length goes the lamentation of my Lord Milton. Because war has ceased to advance the inccine -of the capitalist, and that, as a consequence, it rather reverts to its usual and natural standard, is that good reason why an income, -not arising, not having received an accession through war, .should be instantly reduced ?" * This assertion is at complete variance with the Report set forth by the Agricultural Committee._" Rents," says the Report, " have hitherto been duly paid, either from savings of more prosperous times or from credit." t The evidence given before the Agricultural Committee, proves that the rental of the kingdom has, upon an average, been nearly trebled since the year 1790. In Essex, says one Of the witnesses, and one 9f the most intelligent of them, a farm, called Hollywell, which, previous to 1790, was let for £9O per ann. produced, in 1791, .4241 per ann. or about 19s. per acre, and, on being once more let in 1811, commanded a rent of £899 per ann.—The Middleton Hall estate, in Norfolk, was purchased about 1780 for £25,600, and, in 1912, no less a sum than £140,000 refused for it. (To be continued.) STATUE OF WILLIAM 111. ThepubliC have lately heard a gte'at deal of the Orange Institution ; but hitherto there had never been any attempt Wintroduce its customs in this Metropolis. Sunday, however, and yes terday morning, several placards and. small billi were profusely distributed in the City and at the West-end of , the town, calling upon the Protes tat!t public to commemorate the birth of WIL LIAM the Third. One. of the largest placards was as follows : The Birth-day of lima WurrAst the THIRD, of Glorious and Immortal Memory, who,' under Divine Providence, de" livered England from Popish Tyranny and Superstition ; in Honour of which his Statue in St. James's-square is decorat-. 'ed this sth November, 11121, (the 4th being on Sunday.) Another hill, posted during the night in Hat ton-garden, says---' " The Members of the Established Church, the irofcssors'of the Proteitarit Faith,. the supporters of the House of Bruns.: wick, ,are informed this day, the sth of November, (the 4th being n a Sunday), will be universally, kept in commemora tion oT the Gilbrious triumph over Popery." The -bills also' stated, that the Statue of the •Immortal Wir.r.Lim, in St. James's-square, would be decorated, in honour of the anniversary of the never-to-be.forgotten day. The attention of several families resident in St. James's-sgnare. was :attracted on Sunday morn ing, about,, eight lo'dock, by the extraordinary - appearance of three men, who were within the railing, and seemed engaged in deep conversation.. They appriiaCheil the*inoat _which surrounds the eqnestrian;•one of them Carrying a basket, which he deposited close to the internal railing, Ario- Aber Of them very deliberately took off his coat, waistkoat, and shoes, and'Seemed to be preparing to get over the•railing into the water. The fa mily, who occupy a house bet Ween the Marquis of LONDONDERRy's and the Duke of PORTLINO, at the north-west angle, were 'preparing to go out of town, and, throwing open the windows, gave the,alarin, and sent some of the servants to' the railing, with orders to inquire into the affair The parties immediately fled. in different direc tions. The man, who was partially undressed, bounded over the railing like a stag, _got into- George-court„and escaped. The square-keeper,. who lives . in Church-passage, was instantly sent for, and, accompanied by several servants, pro ' ceeded to the.interior railing, where they found a basket containing an oil-skin parcel and seve ral yards 'of rope with hooks or grapples attach ed to one end. On opening the oil-skin bag or envelope, it was_ found .. to contain several yards of orange and purple silk, with a num ber of drags' (apparently) and lines of pack thread or whip-cord. The whole was conveyed to the residence of the Duke of PORTLAND, and left in the- charge of his Grace's porter. • In half an hour afterwards the articles were claimed by a person, who gave hi 3 name and address in New Bond-street; but we have beard that-the porter, suspecting that more was meant than met the eye, withheld the trophies, under an idea that they might become the subject of investigation at the Secretary of State's office, or at Bow-street. The parties, however, were not deterred from their pdrpose -by the discomfiture, for at day light yesterday morning the . statue of King William exhibited 'for the first time since it was placed upon its pedestal, the insignia of orangism. Two scarves., :one orange and the other purple; 'were thrown over the right shoulder, the ends terminating in a' large bow over the hilt of the sword, 160 a- garland woven with the distinctive coloured ribands invested the temples of the statue. This affair will be matter of surprise to those who are acquainted with Me position of the statue, and the difficulty of obtaining access to it. All the houses in the square command from the front a distinct view of the circular area, which is enclosed by an iron railing upwards of six •feet high, with well-lighted lamps at short intervals, and guarded by several watch men whose beat is confined to the square. The interval from the exterior to the interior railing appears to be upwards of twenty yards, and the diameter of the moat, in the centre of which stands the statue, appears to be about twenty feet, and the depth of the water not less than four feet and a half. From the surface of the water to the summit of the re iestal on which the horse stands, seems to be about fourteen, and thence to . the apex of the figure, twelve feet ; yet, notwith standing the recent failure, and the obstacles.op posed to the enterprize, the object was accom plished ; and St. James-square, the vicinity of Carlton Palace; the residence of the Marquess of LONDONDERRY, &c. exhibited those party em blems which have hitherto only created division and heart-burnings in the capital of the 'sister kingdom. Whatever.might be the 'ulterior ob jects 9f those who planned and carried into effect this ntavel spectacle, the decoration was removed by order, it is 'said, of Lord Stowell'. EQUESTRIAN STA TUE OVILLIA:iI 111.-DUBLIN: -At - a Mt-eting of the Board of Magistrates held odSaturday last,, at the Assembly House; the Lonn MAYOR in the Chair, a letter was read, addressed to the Magistrates of the Head Office of Police, of which the following is a copy Mansion-House, Saturday, Nov. 3d, 182}, ten o'clock, a. x. GENTLEMEN,—The Lord Mayor conceiving, that at this interesting crisis the Equestrian Statue of King William the Tleird, situate at College-green 4 should not be decorated on the approaching anniversary of his birth-day, the more particularly as it will happen on to-morrow, Sunday. I am, therefore, desired by his Lordship to request you will immediately communicate those sentiments to the different Police Magistrates, and that you will give such directions as may seem•to you expedient, for the purpose of carrying into effect his Lordship's orders, and to prevent any breach of the peace, or violation of the Sabbath, on this occasion. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, - Your most obedient and very humble servant, GEORGE ARGUER, Secretary. The Magistrates unanimously approved of the letter, and-resolved to co-operate, by every legal means in their power s to carry its recommenda tions into effect.

HALIFAX, OCT. 19.—Yesterday Vice-Admiral COLPOTS was presented with the following Address : [EirRACT.] " the undersigned Members of his Majesty's Council, Magistrates, and Gentlemen, residing in the town of Halifax, beg leave to con gratulate you upon your recent promotion to the high station of Vice-Admiral of his Majesty's Naval Service. It is with sincere regret, how ever, we have learnt that this event will deprive us of the pleasure of. your society. Your resi dence amongst us during the active period of war impressed us with the high opinion of your pro fessional character, and the kind attention which you manifested to the interest of the mercantile part of the community, whenever they did not interfere with the superior claims of the service, entitle you to our gratitude." To the above au answer was returned by the Admiral.

(From a Boston raper ©f the 10th ult.) TREATY F. Gitgia.-"(Disetkreement of Com misstoners.)—The CormitisOOtteis_ under th e fifth article of the'oeaty o f Ghent, who werasep'ointed to settle the most eastern boundary of the United States, have been in session in this city for the last ten days. The arguments of, theiagents for the re spective governments were closed on Saturday last. The Commissioners, we 'understand, differ in opi nion. It therefore becomes their duty . to make re , , ports of tikeir proceedings hitherto, to their G overn molts, who will then, in pursuance of the provi sions of the treaty, agree upon some friendly So vereigtr as an umpire. The most important point upon which they differ, is in relation to the position of the north west angle of Nova Scotia, or, in other words, the north east angle of Maine. The tervitory in dispute contains about five millions of acres of land, a part of which is said to be good. The reports of the astronomers and surveyors, and the arguments of the agents, are said to be immensely voluminous, and to bear, testimony to their industry, and we doubt not to their talents. The reported refusal of the DA e of ,MoNT nost to accept the office 9.f 'Lord Chamberlain ; has occasioned ,some - extraordinary rumours. It is stated that his MAJ ESTY wished to bestow the appointment on Lord CON YNGIIA m, but i that ,Mi nisters are adverse to that nomination, and maintain that the right belongs to them.— It is said also, that the Duke, - not relying on the permanency of the present Administration, prefers the situation which he at present holds, as most secure, amidst any political changes. In support of the rumour that Ministers insist on their own right of appointment to the situation in question, and do not implicitly obey the wishes of, the Sovereign, it is alleged that his MAJESTY had promised to raise a very respectable Nobleman,one of his earliest and most intimate friends, to the dig- nit)! of Marquis, and gave orders for that purpose, but that, in a correspondence which took place on the subject, it was contended that such mat ters were left to the discretion of Ministers, and the Noble Lord has not been able to obtain the fulfilment of the Royal promise. We do not vouch - for the accuracy of the latter report, though we received it from a very respectable quarter. POLICE.—A very valuable publication on this vitally important topic has recently issued from the pen of that enlightened and experienced Magistrate Mr. MAlNwithiNo. We shall pro bably 'give some extracts from it ; but the right understanding of the subject is of so muck con sequence to society, the increase of crime is so alarming, and every page of Mr. MAlNwAtuNo's work contains either facts so necessary to the illustration of his views, or political, moral, and ,judicious reflections, of so much interest, whe ther as regards the local police of the Metropolis, or the principles of police establishments-gene rally, that we think the pamphlet itself ought to be carefully perused by all who possess the power to effect, or the desire to see effected, a salutary and permanent change in . the sys tem -of Police, on which depends in a great, degree the security of property and of the public morals. For the present, we must sa tisfy ourselves with bearing our heartfelt testi mony to the general excellency of Mr. MAIN- `i views,. and t6the.utility of his propo4 sitions, except that we think it our dnty, because it may be useful, to strengthen remarks on the present wretchedly imperfect method of night-watching, by stating, that in some parts of the country a different system has been adopted with great success. Amongst these, we are in formed that the town of Leeds is one of the most conspicuous and gratifying. With an eStalnish ment of watchmen on the prevailing plan (the r same plan as that pursued in the Metropolis) ; the Leeds Paper, a few years since, bore; melancholy evidence of the burglaries and other, depredations which were almost nightly per 7 petrated. Whilst the - robbers were breaking into a house, the watchman, carrying a' lanthorn, and calling the hour, gave them timely. notice- of his, approach ; while the burglars had only to step aside, to wait till the noisy guardian of the night had passed the scene of - their operatidus, and then to renew their work, under the cer tainty of being undisturbed until his periodical return.—Tfie utter inefficiency of thiSinethod'Of protection became so apparent, that at length the Magistracy resolved on a new organization, Of the .nightly watch. They were divided 'into two bodies,---vatchmen, as at present in London, stationed at certain posts; whose duty it is to pe rambulate certain limited districts; and patrols, to whoM the perambulation of more extended dis tricts is• committed, and whose duty it is to su perintend the watchmen, as well as to contribute to the safety of the public. Neither of these bodies carry open lights, nor call the hours. They are constantly in motion, prying at iree gular periods, but constantly, into every street, yard, alley,and corner, in their respective ranges. Silent themselves, and watchful, their ears are open to every intimation of danger ;. and they are furnished with dark lanthorus, which are only used - to expose to them, when necessary, a full view, of .suspicion's . persons or places.. The -results of this. system were so beneficial as to be almost incredible.- The new method" Was adoPted, aboat the year 1810, and operated as a preven tion to crime,' to a . degree ? . WhiCh, without con sulting the records of outrages committed' in the town of Leeds, for a year previous ,to and after , its adoption, Would scarcely be believed.,, SANIAICA PAPERS.
