14-IVENING PIDITION. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. EXTENSIVE CONSPIRACY TO DEFILUID.—WiIIiam Kinnear, a r espectable-looking person, who was appre hended a few days ago for having, along with a person named Armstrong, defrauded Mr. Buhrer, toy-dealer, of Skinner-street, Snow-hill, was again brought up on Fri day morning, before Mr. Alderman WHITE. The Court was crowded by individuals who were anxious to bring forward other charges against the p: isoner. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Buhrer, that in the month of May last the prisoner, who then resided in Seymour-place, Walworth, recommended to him a customer at Mortlake, named Armstrong, stating that Armstrong had a certain sum of money passing through his hands quarterly, and that he (Kinnear) would be responsible for him. Kinnear also stated that he had himself been in business, had worked hard, and that he had realised sufficient never again to have occasion to do I a stroke of work in his life. In consequence of this representation, be allowed Armstrong to have a quantity of goods. Kinnear and Armstrong afterwards came together, and witness drew a bill for 601., which was accepted by Armstrong and endorsed by Kinnear. He allowed Armstrong to have other goods afterwards, the total amount being 1131. Before the bill became due, Armstrong had left his shop, and the prisoner was not to be found at his residence, and was not seen again by witness until he met him in the street, and gave him into custody. The prisoner, on the first examination, said that he resided seven weeks in Angel-court, Strand. That he had nothing to do with the transaction, further than being a party to the bill, which would be paid. Mr. Clarkson, who now attended for the prisoner, submitted that no conspiracy had been made out. If credit had been given in this case, the remedy was by action, to recover the amount secured by the indorse. ment. Mr. Alderman WHITE said the case was attended with such circumstances of suspicion as warranted him in sending it to a jury. Second Charges—Mr. Sharp, oil and colour manufac turer, deposed that in April last he was applied to by a person named Clarke, who lived in the Bethnal-green road, for goods on credit, and referred to Mr. Kinnear. Mr. K. called on witness aday or two afterwards, and re presentedthat he had been in the corn trade, and was now a retired tradesman living on his property, that Clarke's father was an intimate friend of his, and had requested him to assist the son, and that he would bear him harm less. In consequence this representation he gave of Clarke credit to the amount of 351., and Kinnear gave a guarantee for the payment of the money. A bill was afterwards drawn, but when it was due it was not paid. Third Charge.—Mr. Charles Kelham, of East Cheap, deposed.—ln April last Clarke called on me to pur chase goods for opening a shop in Bethnal-green-road. He said he could not produce money for the first time, but would refer me to a friend of his father's, Mr. Kin near. I waited on Mr. Kinnear, at Seymour-place, Walworth ; he said that Clarke's father was a farmer in Norfolk or Suffolk ; that Clarke had been in busi ness at Norwich, but had not succeeded ; that he had given his father a great deal of trouble and anxiety, and that his father had now written to him (Kinnear) to see what could be done for him to the amount of 2001., for which he (the father) would be answerable. He further stated that he had made arrangements with one or two other persons for certain amounts, and in quired what wouldi be required in the oil and Italian line. I said Clarke had given a larger order than he ought to have done for so small a shop, and that I had cut it down to 201. or 251. Kinnear said I had better say the lower sum, and he would give a guarantee to the extent of 201. Shortly before the bill became due, Kin near called on me to say that Clarke had shut up his shop and run away, and that if I would wait a little time he would pay the amount after it was due. The money had never been paid. Fourth Charge.—Mr. Michael Luke Walsh, of 18, Castle -street, Southwark, hatmaker, deposed—ln July, ( 1838, a person named Coulson called on me. He re ) sided at 239, High-street, Poplar. i Mr. Clarkson—Did you bring an action apinst Kin / near on this ? Mr. Walsh—l did, but I have a statement to make of vi hat occurred since. Mr. Clarkson—Did not the prisoner bring an acticn artainst you for defamation ? Mr. ktialsh—He did. '! Mr. Clarkson—And did you pay the costs ? Mr. Walsh— It is now in the bands of the attorney. Mr. Coulson gave me an order for goods, and referred me to Mr. Kinnear. I went to Mr. K., who said Mr. I Coulson was a straightforward man, and that he had l done business with him three years ago. I declined the order until Mr. Kinnear signed a guarantee for the I amount,s2/. 10,. When the sum was due, Coulson had gone away. I afterwards saw Kinnear, who said lhe was not able to pay the money, but if I would give up the guarantee, he would give a bill at nine days. 1 I did so, and it was dishonoured. Kinnear—He has received part of the money. Mr. Ciarkson—Did you agree to take the money by instalme,.,ts ? Mr. Walsh—l did. Mr. Alderman WHITE—HOW much have you re ceived ? Mr. Walsh—ll, out of ,521. 10s.—(Llughter.) But the most impothant is to come. About a fortnight ago, I met Kinnear ; he said, " Walsh, you have stuck very c!ose to us, and it is no use mincing; the matter with you. We are a gang of swin dlers, t macers' we call ourselves, and you cannot du hotter than join the ring —you are a poor man, and make you so that you need never be withoat a guiaea in your pocket." I said, " No, I have got a character that I hope will stick to me as long as yours does to you." He said it was all nonsense, that all the great folks were doing so, and he named an Alderman who would net remand him if he was brought up. The whole was wound up by his giving me 10s. Fifth Charge—Mr. Richard Gardner, of 3 7, Cole man-street, licensed victualler, deposed that in the year 1834 the prisoner called at his house and bought wines to the amount of 91., K hich were given to a porter and taken away. Whilst he was making out the bill the prisoner vanished, and had not been seen by him since until to-day. He gave his address at the time, " L'sson Grove," but witness could never find him. Mr. Alderman WHITE thought a charge of felony had bfen wale out in this case, and committed the prisoner for trial. Mr. Clarkson trusted that an intimation wound be given to the prisoner of tit, different chartes that were intended to be proceeded with. The Solicitor who attended on the part of the prose cution intimated that this should be done, and the pri soner was then removed. A great number of other persons were in attendance, but their cases were not gone into. Mr. HALL said, that had the agent opened the de fendant's shop in spite of him, and sold the goods in open defiance to his directions, she might have been charged with felony, which was not the case ; and it was more natural to suppose that the female had acted under his sanction directly or indirectly, which c arly rendered him liable to the consequences. He should therefore order him to pay a penalty of .ss. and costs. Mr. Baily, proprietor of the Arundel Coffee-house, St. Clement Danes Churchyard, was also summoned for keeping open during the hours of divi ne service. Mr. Mason said that the offence was committed in the middle of church hours, and the defendant refused to shut up his house. The witness Edwards proved that he was served by a lad with two cups of coffee, with bread and butter, for which be paid 6d., and there were two other persons in the room. The defendant said that what be sold were the neces saries of life, and since the passing of the late Bill, as young men could not be supplied with beer, they came to his shop to get refreshment, which served them, and which, if they were to be deprived of, they might be said to be " shut out from the world—" Mr. HALL-13y dying of starvation. The defendant added, that he had several lodgers who came in at all hours, and it would be very severe to compel him to pay a penalty for supplying them with necessaries. Mr. HALL did not consider there was a case of ne cessity as the shop was actually open during Divine Service, and the witness was not a lodger. The defendant observed that when the Act was passed there were no coffee-shops, and it could not apply to his case. Mr. HALL was of a different opinion and inflicted a penalty of .ss. and costs. Mr. Saml. Brandon, tobacconist in the Strand, also appeared to answer a similar complaint, to which he pleaded " not guilty." Edwards proved that at seven o'clock in the evening of Sunday he purchased an ounce of tobacco from a person in the shop, whom he believed to be the de fendant. The beadle stated that he did not enter the shop, but to the best of his knowledge the article was served by the defendant, and he knew that Mr. Brandon, jun., was very like the defendant. Mr. Ronald scontended that there was no evidence of the defendant having followed his worldly calling on the day in question. Mr. HALL--Call your witness to show that the to bacco was not sold in his shop. Mr. Ronalds—Why, indeed, Sir, you have already closed my mouth so effectually respecting agent and principal, I think there is no necessity. Mr. HALL—Then the defendant must pay 55., and costs. Mr. Wingrove, another tobacconist of Boswell-court, was also summoned. Edwards proved that he did not see the defendant, nor did he know that the shop belonged to him, and there was no person with him who saw the offence committed. Mr. HALL—If that's all you know of the matter, the case is dismissed. Mr. Nicholas, who pleaded guilty to a similar offence committed on the same day, was also fined ss. and costs. Mr. Wm. White, tobacconist, of the Strand, pleaded Not Guilty to a like complaint. Edwards said that he did not know the number of the defendant's house, and it was half-past seven o'clock i❑ the evening when he visited it. The beadle was with him, and he bought a quarter ounce of tobacco over the counter from a female. Terry, the beadle, proved that the defendant owned the shop, and on the Friday previous he had cautioned him not to keep open on Sundays. The defendant considered it a great hardship that people could go to the public-house to smoke and drink after service was over ; and he thought he would not come within the meaning of the Act if he kept shut until a late hour. Mr. HALL—YOU seem anxious to do what is right as far as you can, and as Mr. Mason had a very arduous duty to perform, if he does not press the complaint will you promise not to repeat the offence ? The defendant said it was very hard on him, as his customers had to go only a few yards into the parish of St. Martin's, where they could be served. Mr. HALL—I see plainly there is no use in making a distinction, and you must also pay ss. and costs. The churchwardens of St. Mary-le-Strand were in attendance to prefer complaints against some small shopkeepers, but as they promised not to transgress in future the cases were withdrawn. John Evans, jun., a baker of Bedfordbury, was summoned by Joseph Field another baker of Chandos street, for unlawfully delivering to his customers a piece of beef and potatoes, a piece of pork and pota toes, and a baked goose, on Sunday after the time allowed by law. Mr. Allan, proprietor of the Cock and Bottle public house, Bedfordbury, having got into the witness box, said be was entirely ignorant of the business he was summoned to prove. The informer, who is in the service of Mr. Baines, a baker, in Chandos•street, asked him at what time he brought his dinner from the defendant's house on Sunday lest ? Witness said at two minutes before halt:past one o'clock, and he was positive as to the hour, as he was told he could not get it if he delayed longer than the half hour. Another journeyman, in the service of Mr. Baines, proved that he saw bakings leave the defendant's after the half hour. Mr. HALL—What clock did you look at ? • Witness—Before I left my master's house it had gone the half hour. In answer to the defendant, witness said he saw the goose and pork leave before Mr. Allen took his dish away. A third servant of Mr. Baines swore that seeing five or six persons standing at the defendant's door, he went up, thinking they had lost a dish, and it was then ex actly the half hour. Mr. HALL—Your first was no service to you, and I cannot convict upon such frivolous evidence as the other witnesses have given, the complaint is therefore dismissed. HAT T 0 N- GARDEN. STABBING A POLICEMAN.—.I(u)tes Ribbon, a young man whose appearance did not betoken anything like ferocity, was placed at the bar charged with stabbing John Bullock, a Policeman of the G division, No. 116. Miss Eliza King examined, is the daughter of Mr. King, who keeps a public-house, at the sign of .the Cart and Horse, in Turnmer-street, Clerkenwell. The prisoner, who is a cat's-meat man, and in the habit of frequenting the house, came into the tap-room on Thurs day evenng, and was very disorderly, wanting to fight with the persons there ; witness desired him to be quiet, and refused to supply him with liquor ; she sent for her brother, and aho for the police. The prisoner was given in charge, and went away quietly with the policeman until they came to the door, when he began scuffling with him. Saw the policeman's face bleeding very much, and seeing no police near him called out for their assistance. When the mob got away from the door a man picked up the knife produced where the scuffle had happened. The knife was here produced.; it was what is called a Wharr.cliffe knife, with a white handle—the large blade was open and broken ; with marks of blood on it. John King is the brother of last witness. He gave the the prisoner in charge to policeman Bul lock, 116 G; when the prisoner and the policeman were going away saw the prisoner put one arm across Bul lock's shoulder and job something into his face, when the blood gushed out profusely. Bullock still held him, and cried out " Help me, fOr he has stabbed me!" Witness then seized the prisoner, and sent off for the police. Several desperate fellows round tried to rescue him, and some one called out " Serve him out that has got hold of him." When the police arrived the prisoner was taken to the station-house. Mr. James Edmonston, a surgeon residing in Myd dleton-street, stated that Bullock was unable to attend, being exhausted from the loss of blood ; the wound had penetrated quite through the cheek into the mouth. He did not at present apprehend any danger. William Turner witnessed the occurrence. Heard the prisoner say previously that he would stab the first who should attempt to take him. Henry Staunton saw the prisoner take the knife open from his pocket before the policeman took him. It had a white handle, and the blade, at that time, was not broken. _ The prisoner was about to make some statement, when Mr. GREENWOOD cautioned him that whatever he said would be taken down, and produced against him at his trial. He then declined saying anything. Mr. GREENWOOD remanded the prisoner for a week, and gave orders that if in the mean time symptoms of danger should manifest themselves in the wounded man, he should receive immediate information, to take his deposition. BOW- STREET. The Court was cro:vde,l the greater part of yester. day with shopkeepers from the parishes of St. ( cement Danes and St. Mary-le-Strand, who were summoned by :he Churchwardens for Sunday trading. On a for mer occasion similar complaints were made against se veral of them by Mr. Mason, the senior churchwarden of St. Cement Danes, but upon their promising not to repeat the offence, the cases were not proceeded with ; and as the promise wa; only partially kept it was con sidered necessary to have the question finally decided by the Magistrates. The first person called upon to show cause why he exercised his worldly calling on the 29th September was Mr. Joseph White, a tobacconist, residing in Clare street, Care Market. • Mr. Mason said that it being intimated to him that the defendant was determined to keep open his shop on the Sab'eath day, he sent to apprize him of the steps which were about to be taken, which he disregarded. Mr. Ronalds, the solicitor, appeared for the defence. John Edwards, who read from a memorandum, stated tl at about half-past four o'clock he went to the defend ant's house. Mr. HALL inquired if the notes he was reading from had been written by nim ? Witness said they were not, buc he dictated them to the beadle. He bought an %rice of tobacco from a lady inside the counter, for which he paid 4d. Mr. HALL asked if the shop was open ? Witness said s the shop was open, and the person who served him 7 inside t h e counter, in the ordinary way of doing business. Mr. HALL inquired if he knew the shop belonged to the def en d ant White" Witness replied that the name of was over the . door, but he did not knew the defendant, an d he believed tt a h n e d th a t th e p erson w ho had served him w as his wife, he could not say if he was standirg at th e door at In answer to que s ti ons by time. the s o li c it or , t h e w i tness said that he had laid the info p rma t t ed ion by th e di rect i on o f Mr. 3lason, by whom he exec paid, but the amount of compensation he left to f ttthohatbegentleman.

The towns of Birmingham and Manchester had given a less sum than 8001. to their Chief Commissioners, and yet On the motion of Mr. NOTT, the new Sheriffs were requested to take their seats on the Aldermen's Bench. THE SERMON BEFORE THE LORD MAYOR AND SHERIFFS. A motion having been submitted for the printing of the sermon preached before the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs by his Lordship's Chaplain, the Rev. Charles Cator, on Saturday, the 28th September last, at St. Lawrence, Jewry, Mr. STEPHENS said he bad hoped the time was passed in which the pulpit was to be made the arena of attacks upon worthy and good men who differed from the Church of England. He should at least regret very much that the Dissenters' Meeting-houses should be so desecrated.—( Hear.) If they were to have religious liberty, let it be a reality, and not an empty name. He understood the Court of Aldermen had acted very judiciously with respect to the sermon in question. He (Mr. S.) had not heard the sermon, but he should like very much to read it before he agreed to any vote for the presentation of a sum of fifty guineas to the chaplain. the extent of their duties was much greater than that of the City of London. They would not, therefore in his opinion be discharging their duty to their con stituents, if they voted more than 8001. in the first in stance. He felt strongly upon the subject, because there were many economists and reformers who he understood intended to support the larger sum, and he understood, also that there was a strong anxiety out of doors to have the names of the parties who voted on either side. He should therefore move as an amendment that the sum of 8001. instead of 1,0001. be the salary of the Chief Commissioner of Police for the City of London. Mr. GODSON seconded the amendment with great pleasure. The duties of the Chief Commissioner of the City would be comparatively light, and he would have chiefly to sit in his easy chair.—(A laugh.) He understood that one gentleman in turn did the duty Another MEMBER observed that when sermons were ordered to be printed, it asually implied a certain degree of approbation as to their contents. The sermons of emi nent preachers were frequently printed at the request of their congregations ; but in the present instance the ser mon was printed at the request of the Court of the Corporation. If the sermon was to be printed, he honed it was not to be taken as an approval of the sermon by that Court before they had read it.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BURTON did not think that printing the sermon implied any approval or disapproval of it. He hoped, however, it would be in the bands of all the members before any vote of thanks or sum of fifty guineas was granted. Mr. PEWTRESS quite agreed with the Court of Alderman as to the manner in which they had acted on the present occasion. If the sermon was offensive to the ears and judgment of the Aldermen of that city, who were warmly attached to the Established Church, it certainly could not be very pleasing to the Dissenters, who were lashed in a most unmerciful manner in that sermon.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Pewtress) seldom at tended the Church, as he did not feel any very strong inducement, from the tranner in which theological sub jects were there discussed. He must express his asto nishment and surprise that the Reverend Gentlemen should have taken as his text " A citizen of no mean city"—a sentence which had been made use of in de fence of rights of which it was attempted by the autho rities to deprive a man unjustly. He wished every gentleman to read that sermon for himself, and if his religious feelings and Christian charity were improved by i t, he should be very much surprised. of the Metropolitan Commissioners, and therefore it could not be said that the labour of attending to 400 could be very heavy, when one could do the duty where there were 4,000. The vote of that day would show who were really the conservators of the public purse. If the salary was not found adequate, it could be afterwards increased, but at starting 8001. appeared to him quite enough. He begged before he sat down to disclaim any connection with a letter in the Times of that morning, although he fully coincided in its state ments. _ Mr. PEWTRESS said it was taken for granted that some members of that Court were inclined to grant an extravagant sum to the Chief Commissioner, but he apprehended, whatever the amount should be was a proper subject of consideration for that Court.—( Hear, hear.) It had been stated by the worthy member who moved the amendment, that they could get many worthy and respectable gentlemen to fill the office at a salary of 8001. a year. He (Mr. Pewtress) did not doubt that, and be had no doubt they would get many such if the salary was only 5001. But it appeared to him the question was not how cheap they could get the duty done—( Hear, hear) —because if the office was put up to tender they might find persons willing to do it for 2001. The City of London should, however, take into consideration the scale on which all its officers were paid, and it would be unfair and inconsistent to give liberal salaries to persons holding not more important situations, and withhold it in the present case. It ap peared to him rather strange that those gentlemen who had never found fault with the large sums granted to other officers ofthe Corporation should now come forward to preach up economy. He regretted that the sum to be paid to the Commissioner had not been settled be fore the candidates had come into the field, for every body knew now pretty well how the case stood, and he feared there were considerations of a personal nature mixed up with the question. It had been stated that the amount to be paid to the Chief Commissioner at Birmingham and Manchester was 7001. a year, but the worthy Alderman had not stated whether a residence was to be provided or not. Alderman VENABLES — I am not aware of that. Mr. PEWTRESS—I thought that was a very import ant consideration. They should also recollect that they required the whole time and attention of their Commissioner, while in the country he could act as a professional man, and employ his spare time profitably. It should also be recollected that 7001. in the country was a larger sum than 8001. in the m etropolis ; and that the Chief Commissioner of the City of London would be required to keep up some degree of rank and dignity. The difference in his opinion amounted td nearly 5001. per annum. Let them just look at what was given to their Chief M a gistrate, not for the performance of certain duties exactly, but to maintain the dignity, splendour, and hospitality of the City of London. Look at the salaries which were paid to their Ketnembrancer, their Solicitor, and other officers of the Corporation, which were not a bit more important than that of Chief Commissioner of Police. He hoped some u niformity and consistency would be observed in these salaries. Another point was, that they required their Commisioner to reside in the City, but it appeared to him that they were not yet competent to decide whether that would be necessary or not, and it would be quite enough if they re tained the power of compelling the Commissioner if it was thought necessary. He should vote for the original motion for 1,0001. a-year. Mr. ANDERTON had never been ashamed of any vote he had ever given in that Court ; and if his constituents refused to elect him again for the vote he was about to give, he could not help it. He had the consolation of knowing that he had done right, and he should feel quite as comfortable out as in that Court.—(A laugh.) He bad, however, no doubt that he should be able to justify his vote before his constituents on St. Thomas' Day. His opinion was that 1,0001. a year was not too much ; for, first, it was to be remembered that the Court required a gentleman to fill the office. lie must associate with gentlemen ; and such being the case, he would ask whether he could keep up that character, and provide for his family, under 1,000/.—(Hear, hear.) He strongly suspected that there were very few mem bers of that Court who lived under 1,0001. a year, , rho had to pay rent and taxes.—(Hear, hear.) He could not agree with that. part of the Report of the C o mmittee, which required that the Commissioner should reside in the City. He thought Mr. PRITCHARD said the Court could come to no conclusion on its merits until they had the sermon be fore them. After a few words from Alderman T. Wood, the motion for printing the sermon was agreed to. .... _ le ought to reside in such place as. that Court, and ,he Lord Mayor and Aldermen should think fit.— " Cries of " No, no.) He was not himself an extra- THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5. 1839'. 800/. a-year, and think it a hane,some remuneration. Hitherto they had managed the ri;,ght watch by an in spector. The police had been •managed by one in dividual—Mr. Whithair. The. police were im proving in discipline, and the Commissioner would not have to do as Mr. - Whithair did, take his horse and ride the whole day through the city, looking after the police—he would be f n his house the greater part of the day, and all be would have to do could be done in his house. Taking 8001. a year, therefore, as quite sufficient, ;Ind certainly it was suffi cient for the first year, if the it Commissioner should in talent or ability prove superi or to either Col. Rowan, or Mr. Mayne, or any other iComrnissioner, they would then have it in their power to increase the salary by 2001. or 4001. But why, in starting in the first instance, and before knowing; what the recom mendations of their Commisseoner might be, fix the salary at 1,000. a yea r ? He apprehended they would be bound to procure a: police-office. The police office ought to be situate in the most central part of the city, and the Commissioner o ught to be the occupier of it, as Colonel Rowan and Mr. Mayne occupied the office in Whitehall. He was not prepared to say what was the rent of their house, lar lt be shouid think 4001. a year. The Commissioner of tbe City Police ought to have such a house—a first -rage house, fit for a Com missioner to live in, but the lower part of it ought to be a police-office, He also had this feeling on the subject, that the res ponsibility of main taining the peace would be divided. Hitherto the Lord Mayor had been considered as h aving the responsibility on his shoulders, and his lion. Friend near him (the Chamberlain) when Lord Ms tyor , never slept out of the Mansion House one night. Fle (the Lord Mayor) could not say that, but hen Ler:forth the Lord Mayor would have no control over the police compared to what he had hitherto had. Ii a the event of a tumult or disturbance, the Lord May or had always been ap plied to, but now the Commissio .ner of Police would be ap plied to. Accordingto theßeport ;, if they gave the Commis sioner 1,0001. he might take a house at 301 a-year, and so comply with the requireme ut of having a residence in the City. With respect to I) Cie; getting fresh air, there weuld be no difficulty about that; unfortunately Mr. Whithair had been lately very unwell, but he (the Lord Mayor) had taken upon himself the responsi bility of allowing him to sleep of it of the City for a few nights, but he left strict orders t hat he was to be called at any moment when his preset ape was necessary, and he had no doubt other Lord Mayors would have no difficulty in pursuing the same course. The only ques tion was, could they or could tl icy not obtain the services of a competent person for BOOt., at the same time providing him with a suitable residence as an official one. He had no doubt they Mr. STEVENS said the ohs( irvations which had fallen from the Lord Mayor were so obviously true and just, that he apprehended there was. no one in the Court who was not convinced the Court ought to adopt them. He did not think now there was much difference of opinion among them. Mr. HEPPELL suggested ths .t the salary ought to be 1,0001., until a proper residence was provided.—(Cries of " Ne, no.") Messrs. TAYLOR and GALLOWAY cordially con curred in all that had fallen from the Lord Mayor. Mr. WIRE considered that -the question of residence and that of salary ought to be. kept distinct. 8001. was the minimum of salary they ( :ould give under the Act, and it was to be remember( Id that, although the Me tropolitan Commissioners had a greater area of ground and a larger number of men to superintend, there were two of them, and at least one of them had a residence which would cost riot less than 5001. a-year, and were provided with a large and efficient staff, paid for by the country. How- did the question stand ? In the one case Caere were two Commissioners who di vided the responsibility, and took the duty in turns. Ie the other there was only o ne person upon whom the whole duty and responsibility would devolve. He con tended that taking every thing into account, the duty of the City Commissioner would be equally important and onerous with that of the Metropolitan Commissioners. He would now call upon tbarn to consider the amount of the salaries paid to their other officers. There was the Town Clerk, who filled a very respectable and onerous situation, but his emoluments were con siderably larger them the salary it was intended to pay their Chief Commissioner. There was also the Comp troller, who had a. house provided by the City, and whose emoluments could not be less than 2,0001. per annum. Again, th, ere was the Remembrancer, with a large salary, very co nsiderable emoluments, and offices provided at the eeepense of the Corporation. Tne City Solicitor had fe4oool. a-year and offices provided for him. There wus also the Clerk of the Court of Requests, and othe r officers, equally well paid, whose duties were not moi as onerous or important than those of the Commissioner of Police. Taking all these matters into consideration he should certainly say that 1,0001. a-year was not too In tech, and he should OR these grounds vote for the report. If the report was adopted it was his intention then to ,propose another amendment. Mr. ACHURST suggested to the honourable mover o the amendment to witl idraw it, and to allow him to propose in its stead •" that this Court do agree with the report of the Committee, except so far as relates to the salary of the Chief Commissioner of Police—th it the salary be 8001., with a. residence and offices to be pro vided by the Corporation, in which the Commissioner should reside." He th ought that would meet the views of the majority of the Gourt. Alderman VENABLES. had no objection to the sugges tion of Mr. Ashurst. After a few words from Mr. Scott, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Anderton, Mr. Banee's amendment that the salary should be 8001. a-year, without a. residence, was then put and negatived by a show of hands. Mr. ASHURST then moved, as an amendment to the original motion, that the Report. of the Committee be a:reed to, that the salary be 8001. a-year—the Corpora tion to find a residence. Mr. Alderman COPELA objected to the latter amendment, considering that a residence fit for the Chief Commissioner could be got at much less than 2001. a year ; and that a salary of 1,0001. was not too great a remuneration for th a arduous duties he would nave to perform.—(Hear.) The amendment of Mr. Ashurst was then put. Mr. HALL and Mr. WILLIAMS addressed the Court, but amidst so much noise els to render them inaudible. Mr. DAVISON moved th;it the word "permanent" be introduced before " residen cef —Negatived. After some verbal amendments, the amendment of Mr. Ashurst was carried. It was then agreed that the standing order requiring c andidates for civic situations to become freemen should be suspended with respect to the election of Comis sioner. ACCOMMODATION AT THE OLD BAILEY. Deputy Con NEY wished to know whether the question of additional accommodation for persons and witnesses had been taken under consideration by the City Lands Committee. It was well known that additional accom dation was required, and the question was how it was to be provided. It was now nine months since he had called the attention of the Committee to the subject, and no report had yet been made. Mr. LOTT said the matter was under the anxious consideration of the Committee. Mr. PEWTRESS said that the express object of the Committee, of which he was a member, was to give, if possible, more accommodation at the Old Bailey. He was surprised to observe the other day the accommoda tion that was afforded, especially in that part of the building which led to the Grand Jury Room ; a great quantity of persons were obliged to crowd on the stairs, and the effluvium that was occasioned thereby was almost sufficient to cause suffocation. The subject then dropped. ST. PETER'S, CORNHILL. Alderman THOMAS WOOD presented a petition from the Rector, Churchwardens, and parishioners of the parish of St. Peter's, Cornhill, praying for assistance in the reparation of the organ of that Church. Mr. STEV ENS objected to the prayer of the peti- tion, because if it was granted it would be the com mencement of a voluntary contribution towards the sup port of the Established Church. He thought the peti tion ought only to lie on the table, and ❑ot be referred to- the Financial Committee. He should, therefore, move, as an amendment, " That the petition should lie on the table." Several members supported the amendment. Mr. JONES regretted extremely the opposition that had been made to the petition being referred to the Finance Committee. The facts of the case were, that 4001. was required to repair the organ. The pa rishioners had raised 3001., although the parish contained only about 19.0 houses ; and all that they required was that the Corporation should make up the amount. Mr. PEWTRESS thought the petition ought to be allowed to go before the Finance Committee, because if a rate had been levied, the Corporation must have borne part of the rate. . _ Mr. Alderman T. Woos said that all that was asked was that the Corporation should bear part of the expense with their co-parisbioners. The petition was then ordered to be referred to the Finance Committee. COMMISSIONER •F CITY POLICE. Mr. Alderman VENABLES suggested the propriety of the Report from the Police Committee being now received. Mr. WIRE objected to it, as it would give rise to a !ong discussion. It would be brought on in its turn. Mr. Alderman VENABLES merely wished to consult the convenience of the Court. Mr. WIRE—The Alderman always endeavours to interrupt the business of the Court, and he never comes here without doing so.—(A laugh.) Mr. Alderman VENABLES—I appeal to the whole Court whether any single person presumes so much on its indulgence as the individual who made that observa tion ?—( Loud cries of " Hear, hear, bear.") Mr. WiftE (with some warmth)—l never do, and I challenr the Alderman to mention a single instance in which I have ever interrupted the business of the Court —(Laughter.) Several Reports from the City Lands Committee were then received. Mr. PEWTRESS then moved that the Report of the Police Committee be at once received. Deputy CORNEY seconded the motion. It wa2 time :hat they knew what the emoluments and the duties of Commissioner were to be. _ _ _ Mr. ANDEItTON thought the best way e'ould be to proceed regularly with the business as set down in the paper. The LORD MA volt said the only course he had to pursue was to call upon Mr. Pritchard to bring up the Report of the Corporation Inquiry Committee. Mr. Pe‘vtre.s might then move an amendment, and the ease would then be ripe for the decision of the Court. Mr. PRITCHARD moved accordingly ; hut as he un derstuod the police business pressed, he had no wish to press it.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. PEWTRESS moved as an amendment, that the Police Committee's Report be first considered. The question was put, and the amendment agreed to by a large majority. Mr. KING thought there were many parties in the Court who wanted to burke the consideration of the In quiry Committee. He moved for a division, btkt did I not press the motion. The Report of the Police Committee was then read. It recommended that the Chief Commissioner should be allowed a salary of 1,000/., and be required to reside in the City. Mr. Alderman VENAELES moved that the Report be received and agreed to. The Committee had not had much information laid before them to enable them to judge of the fitting salary. They knew that though the Metropolitan Commissioners now received fall to r e upon h p e o rts much tf rh:m greater Commissioner. r_ 1,200/., that very lately they h a d on ly 8001., and their duties wereknow n than those which They would had received mingham and Manchester, at both of which places the , Commissioner received a salary of 7001. ; but their duties extended seven miles beyond the borough. The Committee had considered the whole subject, and had recommended the Court to allow the sum of 1,0001., be-1 cause they thought it necessary that the Commissioner shoutd have his residence in the City. The only other point of importance was the adding of the precincts to the City for the purposes of police ; the most important of them, no doubt, was the Temple ; hut the Committee had no doubt of the power to add them, which was given by the 59th section of the Act. He moved that the Report be received and affirmed. In answer to two Hon. Members, the worthy Alder man said the Metropolitan Commissioners had a house provided, and one of them was in constant residence. Mr. BRACE could not agree in the recommendation of the Committee. He thought 1,000/. too much, and would prove that the sum of 800/. would be quite ade quate for the duties attached to the office of Chief Commissioner of Police for the City. They knew that the area over which the duties spread, and the number of men, were neither of them near so great as those under the direction of the Metropolitan Commissioners, and yet they were given a salary of only 800/., and that by a Government that was not often charged with any niggardly feeling. Let them fix it at 800/., and if the Corporation thought it not enough they could easily raise it at any future period. It appeared to hint that for 8001. a year, or even less , they could get a gentleman of sufficient character and respectability to fill the office. It should be recollected that the Metropolitan Commissioners entered on their duties under comparatively very great disadvantages—the whole system was entirely new. and they were obliged to organize every de partment ; whereas in their case everything was cut and dry to the hands of their Commissioner. It might be said that there were two Metropolitan Commissioners ; but they should recollect that the vaunt man, but he thought if his income was no more than 8001. a-year, he should not be able to entertain his friends in the manner he had done.—(Cheers, and cries of " We hope you have laid up something ,for your family.") Well be believed he had done that.— (Laughter.) The Marshalman of the City, whose duty it was to attend on the Lord Mayor only, were better paid in proportion to their situations in life than the Chief Commissioner would be, if he had only 8001. a year.—( Hear, hear.) He should therefore vote for the 1,0001. a-year. Mr. ADKINS was one of those who thought 8001. a year sufficient, and he considered that the members of that Court would not act justly towards their consti tuents if they voted in favour of a larger sum. Mr. Hooaa would vote for the smaller sum. The Court must recollect that a Chief Commissioner was not the choice of the Corporation, but had been forced upon them. Mr. ASHURST supported the proposition for giving 1,0001. a-year to the Chief Commissioner, considering that that sum was not too large, when it was recollected the great quantity of care that was required at his hands to protect the vast property of the citizens of London. He considered, however, that the recommendation of the Committee that the Commissioner should reside in the City should not be acceded to, but that it should be left to the Magistrates to determine, when they had seen how the system worked. If the Court required him to reside constantly in the City, he would have a most onerous situation, as he would by that means he un able to go out of town at all. If the recommendation of 1,0001. a-year was adopted, it would in effect be only giving him 750/. a-year. De would move, in case the amendment was negatived, that the Court should agree to that part of the Report that recommended a salary of 1,0001. alear, and disagree with that which required him to reside in the City. Mr. DAvissolv considered that 1,000/. a year was not too much to enable the Chief Commissioner to keep up his station in society.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He was opposed to leaving it with the Lord Mayor and Alderman to decide upon a residence, because he thought the Commissioner ought permanently to reside in London, and ought to be compelled to resort to the Lord Mayor and Aldermen for leave of absence, the reason for which leave of absence should be recorded. Deputy CORNEY considered that the Committee had fixed upon the salary o n the ground that it was abso lutely necessary the Commissioner should reside in the City.--(Hear, hear.) The question of residence ought to be settled before tlae amount of salary was fixed upon. The Commissioner, in all probability, would not be able to get a House at a rent lower than 150/. a year, but he thought the better way would be to agree to the Report of the Committee as it stood— (Hear, he ar )-1,000/ m year , considering that the ren t of a suitable residence mould have to be paid out of it. It was said there would not be much trouble or anxiety attached to the office, but he thought the Com missioner would have ma immensity of trouble ; be cause every gentleman who had had any thing to do with the old watch, and every Common Councilman who watched over the interests of his constituents, would always be bothering and wishing to have a finger in the management of the police.—(A Therefore he hoped, when every thing was considered, the Court would agree to the report. Mr. LAWRENCE thought the question of residence ought to be kept distinct from the question of salary. The Commissioner ought to reside in the neighbourhood of Guildhall, and he should like to know where a residence in that neighbourhood could be got for 1501. a-year ? The sum of 1,0001. a-year ought to be voted first for the sal a r y, and then the question of residence could be discussed. Mr. BRIDGE was of opinion that 800/. a year would be sufficient if the Commissioner did not provide him self with a residence.—( Hear.) The LORD MAYOR had a very strong feeling on this subject, and if the Court did not agree to the amend. I ment he should not vote for the Report of the Commit tee as it then stood. lie thought 8001. a year quite sufficient for a Commissioner of the Police of the City, and he thought so on this g round, that Colonel Rowan and Mr. Mayne, who had had the working out of the police for ten or twelve years, with 4 or 5,000 men under their control, and bad bad innumerable difficulties to contend with, had, in the first instance, only 8001. a-year. Government had only been able to increase their salaries to I,WO/. a-year, in consequence of the extension of their jurisdiction to fifteen miles round the metropolis. Re was confident that hundreds of gentle ' men, quite as competent to fill the office as Colonel Rowan or Mr, Mayne, would be perfectly satisfied with CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. On the motion of Mr. ANDERTON a return was or dered to be laid before the Court of the expense of al tering the Central Criminal Court, and of the amount expended in each year since making that alteration. After some further business of no interest was dis posed of, the Court adjourned. General Henderson, Minister from Texas, ar rived on Thursday at the Brunswick House Hotel, Ha nover-square. THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL FOR OC TOBER.—It is difficult to conceive a more appropriate series of papers for a Naval and Military Journal, than one consisting of memoirs of the most distinguished vessels of the late war, and to amalgat.e the ships with eteir heroes. " England's Wooden Walls" is the title given to such a series in the present Number, the first part of which is dedicated to the ever-glorious Aga memnon, its immortal captain, Nelson, and his faithful follower, Tom Allen. The article, " Take the Hill before Dark," is anion animated and most graphic ac count of the glorious action of Garris, fought on the 15th of February, 1814, in the Lower Pyrenees, in which the Hero of a Hundred Fights, Lord Hill, Sir W. Pringle, and other gallant men took part. To grace a month, the 21st day of which has been rendered memorable by the victory of Trafalgar, " Some Recol lections of Nelson , " containing five of his letters never before published, are given. " The Coast Blockade Service" abounds with anecdote and information. The controversy on the bayonet is renewed with spirit, in valuable letters from Lieutenant-Colonel Wilkie, Cap tain Kincaid, and Colonel Napier. Costello's Me moirs," pe ir p s a ,"' r ' s, Leaves from a Log-book," and oth er amus ing are continued. The present Number of the Journal is altogether a most interesting one. THERE IS MANY A TRUE WORD SPOKEN IN JEST.—Lord John Scott said, I believe I cannot propose to your notice a nobleman in any station, or in any place, whose health will be received with more gra tification than that of Lord Polwarth—better known to you, perhaps, as the " Laird of Harden." He is de scended from an old race, who kept the Border in times of trouble ; he is descended from one who was well ac quainted with our glens, valleys, and mountains, and I believe I may say he was also pretty well acquainted with some of the glens and valleys on the other side of the Border. But though he was a stealer of cattle and sheep, he still defended his country in those days. There is not much improvement in the article of honesty even in our own day. Formerly the freebooters cheated their neighbours out of their cattle, now the lawyer cheats us out ofour patrimony, and when he does so he tell us it is for our good ; and then again we are cheated, too, out of o ur constitutions by the doctors.—(Laughter.) In short, we are all descendants of a most noble and ancient line of thieves—(Loud cheers)—though all honourable men. —(Great laughter.) Yes, we are all descendants of thieves, gentlemen.—(Great laughter.) Every thing is conducted on a system of thieving, from the highest to the lowest in the land. Treaties are made and con eluded on a system o f thi ev i ng ; men obtain power for no other purpose, b ut to prov id e f or their own at the expense of the p u bli c . B ut g i ve us good old Scott of Harden's system of thieving—none of for his young y o ur petty larceny —that system w hi c h every o ne provides ones at the expense of one's enemy. Is not this the law of nations ? His Lordship concluded by proposing— " Scott of Harden," Lord Polwarth.—Repurt of Me Dinner to the Duke of Buccleugh. EVENINt PDITION. THE MARKETS -(YESTERDAY.)
