BOUOUGH of LIVERPOOL, appointed on the Bth Jan uary, 1836, and to whom on the 15th was referred a resolution of the Commissioners of Watch, Scavengers, and Lamps, of the Bth January, 1836, have proceeded in the necessary inqui ries, and have considered the matters referred to them, and do agree upon the following Report:— That your Committee immediately proceeded to inquire into the present state of the Day and Nightly Watch, and to collect the information requisite towards the establishment of a Day and Night Police on a plan at once efficient and economical, the Committee called before them any Welle v e i gc?tifr l e o u s l o vitgOa e e • %.,,, , ..anttee have e ad) as follows : Apart from the Dock Police, there is a Constabu the day, and a body of Watchmen for the night. The Constabulary Force consis 1 Superintendent, who, exclusive of s, a house, coal, &c., receives annually a sal 'y of ElOO 9 Head Constables, 4t Constables, 4 Clerks, 13ridewell Keeper, 3 Turnkeys, y force for In all 61 men, whose yearly income, exclusive of fees, amount to about 3lOO The Expenses incidental to the Establishment 2500 • Cost of Clothing for Constables 9OO Cost of Special Constables at the General Election, &c. &c. 800 Total, per annum £BOOO This body, maintained at so large an expenditure, the Com mittee find is not employed os a preventive force, being chiefly engaged in the apprehension of felons, the service of warrants and summonses, attendance on the magistrates, and at the daily and sessional courts, &c. &c. It is not, however, professed that the whole of this body is necessary for the discharge such duties, but the Committee could not discover that any part of it was sys tematically employed as a permanent Street Patrole. Six of the Constables are said to be constantly on duty, in the day time Duly, at St. George's Pier; if so, the number is unneces sarily large, for, on inquiry, the Committee find that the duty cou ld be done e qually well, both by day and night, by four of the Dock Polite. The Nightly Watch consists of 1 Superintendent, 16 Captains, 130 Watchmen, 16 Patrol, 3 Bridewell Keepers, In all, 166 men,—the total expense of which (including a pro portion of the salaries of a Clerk, a Sub-Treasurer, four Col lectors, a Law-Clerki Rent of Office, &c.) for the year ending 30th September, 1835, was £92OU Of the 130 Watchmen now on the establishment, the Com mittee feel it theiPcluty to report 45 unfit fJr the office, and 25 whose qualifications are very doubtful. The next inquiry was into the Police of the adjoining dis tricts, Toxteth-park, Low-hill, Edge-hill, Everton ' and Kirk dale, within the Pa r liamentary boundry, which was found to be singularly defective , though maintai ne d a t a yearly cost as fol lows (as nearly as it you'd be ascertained) : Toxteth-park—about 1200 Part by Private? and Edge-hill 120) Subscription S Everton and Kirkdale 1000 Total £3400 per annum The total expense of the existing Police (exclusive of the Dock force) will therefore stand thus— For Liverpool—Police. £BOOO Nightly W a tch.... 9200 - per annu m . _ For the adjoin i ng Town ships within tht P ar li ame ntary boundary.... ..... ......... 3,400 206 W , • Ta-whigkiKar&mniittee 0!cI may be added, Wages for the year .... .. . • ........ 400 For the Fire Police, Making a total ...... 1.:21,000 (Note —Out fit in 1833 ihuo in. 183-1 ..1206 1;2196) .....----- The Committee, in dir e ct in g their attention to the ulterior object, "the establishm ent of an efficient Preventive Police," have not only carefully considered the different plans laid be fore them, but have giv en the subject their earnest and con stant attention ; and, as the result of their deliberations, sub mit a plan, which they believe will g i v e to the town and its suburbs, what has been so lon g wanting, the protection of a really efficient police: and they have th e gratification of de claring their couviction that tliis object can be attained with little 'addition to the sum now expended ' u pon a system which has be ,-ei found to be totally inadequate. Indeed, they are not without hopes that the preventive force contemplated will, by diminishing crime, prove a saving to contingent expences, to a much greater amount than the difference between the cost of the old system and that of the plan now sub m itted. They suggest that the Day and Night pollee should form OOly ort. body, which (adopting the term in the Municipal Act) might b e d enominated "C o nstabulary Force'; and, although the Comrnitt,,raust nesessarily retain the right of appoint ments, directions, and dismissals, as well as the hearing of all reports and complaints, the Committee recommend, in order to _.... _give to the force that r eg result from an undivided. 11 't and unity purpose - ari y . that which a principal superintendent, " onnediate ! and constant direction, t hat hie," be appointed, who shall , denominated the "Head Consta -1 be held accountable for the whole body. As one person, however, the could not compass, both by day ' and night, the full extent Of borough, it is su g gested that he'should have the assistance of f Superintendents, between whom and the men should stands ° 1 1 )O r d removed, of inspectors, point of class, both say, twen ty-four, these to be sufficiently isiioenthat all undue frout the Superintendents and the men, so number u of men fami liarityne- with either may be prevented. extra cessary for the force the Committe estimate hundred , and ninety for the permanent body, and a reserv e of .. men, making in the whole three hundred and fifteyo shay The pay of these men is an important item in the ”,;pendi t„,.;„; 1 4 4 your Committee entertain no doubt, that m ei ' w e ll . ,„, 44 1)fied,to form the permanent body can be procured fc i , e i,h_ iiee.shillings per week, with in addition, the principal articles (L 3 , C l o thin g ; and with regard to the extra or reserved force, 1 , c ,, chic i l,, f r e ) ; tlie n .riatnee , of the duties and the prospect of p o rn o . irht hp prnvidect at ,a somewhat reduced rate, a fund ''- 461 ' Int ' '''' Air its" • ' t , p i gpen s ,ma) be, calculated to ' r ise quite sufficient trout the sums retained front . the pay of the absent, &c. In or der that Inspectors may be obtained from an intelligent class of men, incapable of mixing improperly with.those :inner them, the pay of these officers shall not be Tess than thirty shillings !per week with clothing in addition: It may scarcely be neces sary to remark that the men, as well as the Inspectors, should be dressed in a becoming, good, and well-made uniform, to be supplied under the direction of the Committee. The Superin tendents, in the opinion of the Committee, should not have less than £l3O per annum, with the prospect oradvancement to the .extent of £l5O per annum, depending on merit and duration of service. On these data your Committee estimate the expenses., in Wages and Clothes, of an effective and well-organised Con stabulary Force, as follows: PERMANENT BODY. Per Annum. 1 Head Constable, exclusive of House , 4 Superintendents, if taken at the maximum of £l5O per annum 21 Inspectors, at 30s. per week 1872 Clothes for ditto; at £7 10s. per annum each... lBO 290 Men, at 18s. per week each Clothes for ditto, at £6 per annum each. 1740 5 Brideweil Keepers, at 21s. per week each 273 5 Ditto Ditto, at 255. per week each... 325 Clothes for Ditto, at £6 per annum each. 6O Ditto for 60 Extra Me at £6 per annum each 360 One Horse for Head ("stable 5O .E 19,482 Per annum CENTRAL.

With respect to water, a large body is always kept in tanks at the station, capable of being immediately con veyed by the water-carts to the engines, and more than sufficient to maintain a supply until notice can be given to the water companies to fill the main pipes; and such are the arrange ments, that this notice is conveyed in less than ten minutes from the first alarm of fire. Whilst the committee are impressed with the absolute neces sity of every officer and man of the Constabulary and Fire Police being strictly forbidden to take any thing in the shape of fee, on pain of instant dismissal, they would strongly recom mend a system of rewards from the Committee for extraordinary merit, personal risk, or exertion. For the purpose of facilitating the operations of the Police, it is recommended that the borough be classed in two divisions, north and south, which might be by a line drawn from Water street, along Dale-street, up Shaws-brow, and directly up to Low-hill. Each of these being subdivided into eight districts or sections, Vour Committee propose that one section at night, and two in the day, should be under the care of one Inspector, and that each division should have constantly the presence, in the streets, of one of the Superintendents. In the centre of each division, say in th e e,:aleighbourhood of Scotland-place and Duke street, a station would be absolutely necessary for exercising the rdeu, and for what is styled "setting the Watch." Each sta tion might at the same time constitute a Bridewell or Lock-up, and adjoining one of them the Head Constable himself ought to reside. Thus two Bridewells or Station-houses, so much wan ted, would be added to the three night Bridewells, called Lock ups, already existing. Each Bridewell would require two Keepers, the one a married man, to reside with his wife in the Bridewell, and receive 21s per week; the other to attend 12 or 14 hours each day, and to be paid 25s per week. The permanent or established men of the Constabulary Force would be made available as follows :- 202 on duty from 10 o'clock p.m. till 6 a.m. 88 6 „ a.m. „ 2 p.m. ' 88 2 t p.m. ~ 10 p.m. Leaving 114, after having had 16 hours' rest, to go on night duty with the 88 of the morning, who have bad 8 hours' rest. Thus the men will have alternate periods of 8 and 16 hours' rest, or, on the average,l2 hours' rest with Mous' duty. The ex tra men, or rather such of them as may not be wanted to supply the absence of the permanent men, will be engaged as Patrol every night in parts requiring more than ordinary watching. The Committee deem it unnecessary to burthen this Report with further details respecting the kind of men most suitable for the Police, the duties they would have to perform, or the in structions it will be necessary to give them, All these are doubt less important and essential points, but the general plan being once laid down, the details can be followed out with much better effect,. The Committee are, however, prepared with suggestions on these heads. With respect to the existing Police, your Committee are in duty called upon to report, that a vicious system has long existed; and, as might therefore be expected, that force, as a body, is most inefficient, and that, when disbanded, few of its members 4..fcrn-ra.4.li,SlA,tlut.enueut. jo,th-ovamntfee regret that they cannot recommend his being retained in any of the new arrangements. Your Committee wish to exempt the Central Bridewell establishment from their censure, as it appears to them that this department has been well managed, which they attribute to the general good conduct of Mr. Batchel dor. Of the men of the Nightly Watch your Conimittee have al ready reported. With regard to the Superintipdent of that body they have a more pleasing duty to perform. This officer they can strongly recommend as a person well qualified for the appointment of Head Constable. Tn thus reporting, your Committee have acted , upon a strong feeling of duty, that" whilst existing . officers should not be dis missed for the mere purpose of substituting others, it should be held as a principle, that a fearless course of removal should be adopted in alt instances in which the parties may be unfit, or, from any circumstances, not calculated effectually to aid in the great object of the Council—the maintenance of an efficient Police Establishment. It will have been seen that your Committee have thus far proceeded in the consideration of'the Constabulary Force apart from the Dock Police, a course they have adopted on the as assumption that the nomination and control, together with the expense of the Dock Constables, belong to the Trustees of that Estate until the Ist of November next, by virtue of the proviso contained in the 74th section of the Municipal Act. Your Committee, however, cannot conclude this Report. without expressing their decided opinion that it is essential to the good government of the Police and the consolidation of strength, whenever it is called for, as well as for economy, and, for carrying the spirit of the Municipal. Act into full effect, that the whole Constabulary Force of the town, the adjoining dis tricts within the parliamentary limits, and the Docks with the port and harbour, should be under one controlling and regu lating CoMmittee, acting by the advice and under the direction of the Council of the Borough. Your Committee, therefore, hope that the period for such entire control may he accelerated by an understanding with the Dock Committee upon fair and equitable terms, 'Which would require that a sum equal to the charge of its separate Police should be contributed by the Dock Estate; and your Committee are satisfied that the Dock Trust would benefited by such arrangement. Were the entire Police under the control of Council, the requisite number of Constables and two more Superintendents attached to the Dock Station, would simply have to be added, and the calculations of your Committee extended accordingly. In the event of this plan being adopted, it would be for con sideration whether Mr. Dowling might not, with advantage to the public and the Dock Trust, be appointed to the office of In-, door Superintendent or Commissioner of Police, as, from all that has conic before your Committee, they are disposed to believe that officer would be found well qualified to discharge the duties of the Central Office.

FE,LoN PATRIOT.—It is unnecessary for us to translate the phrase, Par mobile fratrum. The necessity is done away with, indeed, from the frequent livinc* instances it is in our power to give in cogeqt illustration. 'At the examination in Lambeth-street, on W6dnesday, of the suspected perpetrator of the great Custom-house robbery, one Sullivan requested that some beer might be brought to him. This was done ; and, on getting the pint in his hand, he exclaimed aloud, " Well, here's success to old Ireland and the repeal of the union." O'Connell could not have said more, and must have fraternized with the felon.

(From the Standard of Wednesday.) We stated yesterday, (Tuesday) that a speedy dissolution of the Cortes, at Madrid, was a probabie event, and we find our statement confirmed by the following telegraphic dispatch, transmitted from Bayonne, and published in the Journal de Paris of yesterday : "BAYONNE, JAN. 31. "A decree of the Queen has dissolved the Cortes in virtue of article 24 of the Royal Statute."—Madrid; J.zn. 27. M. Mendizabal, it seems, was pledged to this measure, in or der to allow a new election immediately after the establishment of the electoral system which has lately passed. He might perhaps have had other reasons of a more urgent nature for taking such a step. The opposition was evidently gaining ground in the Chambers. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. had a difference with him, in consequence of his having pried into family secrets, in order to give piquancy to a biography he had published. Vroin this circumstance I. inferred that the prince himself had been hit hard. 11 parait" (continued the keen and delicate Fieschi, in a figure which " Liberal shepherds" will easily interpret,) " pea lai a tripe sat. le dos." - • • Excuse me, gentlemen, (added he,) I am a soldier, brought up in camps—one whose language is not tres recherche. Pepin told me that the prince was a cousin of the king, but that they were not friends. The king had appointed him his aide-de camp, but he declined the appointment. "Then," said I, "he must be a Carlist ?"—" No—a Republican."—" Yes," rejoined "A Republican, like the trousers of Charles X!"—(a laugh.) "In fine," said Pepin to me, "the prince remains the king's cousin, but is no longer his friend." Pepin once lent me a book. It was a volume of the works of St. Just. I lent him one; it was a volume of Cicero!—(Here a book was handed him, which he declared was the same.) I did not mind the number of domestics or inmates in the house of Pepin; it was no business of mine. Pepin before company was very kind in his manner to me. Behind backs his conduct was different. He called me "Mon brave !" without knowing whether I was brave or not. Better had it been for me that I were a coward, for then I should not have been here! Fieschi then went further into detail. Morey had been kind to him, giving him money from time to time, and supplying him, with clothes and shoes from his own tatior and shoemaker. He then spoke of the preparation of the machine, and sought to compromise M. Cavaignac in the affair (by hearsay only how ever.) The ammunition for the machine cost ten francs, which Pepin gaVe him. It further appeared that Pepin doled out the money to him parsimoniOpsly, and that he did not treat him, hospitably. "1 am not a rich man," said Fieschi, in continua tion, "but I have feeling; I ant not difficult to please, nor a gourmand, nor a love of good dinners; still I saw with pain that he offered tne a morsel of bread at his table. He afterwards disgusted me with his complaints about his pretended sacrifices, and even of his friends. 1 accordingly d e t erm ined on breaking with him, and ou going to Poland with a friend. I had no other means of living.—[llo.4, probably, originated that deadly hate Fieschi now displays towards Pepin; but from Morey, whose life he is equally destroying, he had only received benefits.]Morey continued to visit me at my lodging, in the Boulevard du Temple. When going out anywhere, I used to say to the portress of the house, that it 'my nude', called I was in such or such a place. I took these precautions in order not to place at risk the project I had formed, for when in an affair I seek by all means to succeed." Here the president alloured the chamber to to-morrow, Sun day, 31st January, 1836, at noon precisely. During the whole of the examination the prisoner displayed Coolness; calmness, and presence of mind truly astonishing, not allowing a moment of pause between the questton and answer. Morey and Pepin observed strict silence. The former, having become very ill, was for a portion of time absent from the court. The latter, whose height and countenance, as well as his snivel ling manner, is the very antithesis of Fieschi, meditates, it is said, some very important disclosures, by which the Rohans and the Carlist party will 14'conipromised. If lie have the power, which is doubtful, he will make those disclosures, and indeed do any and every thing else to save his life. His conduct will raise a curious question for the clever people. Ile was an arrant coward, vet he got into the insurrection of the sth and 6th June, 1832. He evinced the most pitiable fear on his trial for that onence before the court-martial, and yet was saved by a miracle; and, still as great a coward as ever, he plunged into another con spiracy, which went nearly to produce a revolution. A number of the Mosellistinguished members of the Paris bar were in attendance, viz.,'Messrs. Odillon Barrot. Cremiax, Pas quin, Chaix d'Estange Dupont, Philip Dupini, and Benoist. The court re-assembled on Sunday at half-past twelve o'clock. Fieschi began by giving an account of his connexion with Nina Lassave, the only mistress he acknowledged. It was silly to give him three mistresses, he said, one was more than he wanted.. He never spoke on political matters with her. flow could he speak with a woman on such subjects? She was not aware of his plan. He had recommended Pepin and Morey to take care of her if any misfortune happened to him, for it was his intention after committing the estate to fly out of France. They were to give her .each five francs a month. He always considered Morey as a solid friend, on whom he could count. Nina Lassave never saw Boireau, with whom he became ac quainted himself in November, [B3l. Fieschi met him repeat edly after, particularly when he had nothing to do, as he was never in the habit of idling when he could gain money. On the 23d of July, at midnight, he called at Boireau's lodging, who denied him admittance. On the next night, however, he slept in his lodging, but that was the only time. Boireau never came to see him in his room, on the Boulevard. Once only he had come up, but Fieschi would not allow him to enter, as he was working at his machine, and Boireau might have been curious to know what he was about. Boireau often expressed in- his presence republican sentiments. On one occasion Boireau said to him that he would volunteer to kill the King; but it was af ter quitting his mistress—he meant his bottle, of which he was very fond. Boireau told him that a plot to murder the king was in progress, and that it was directed by a very adroit man. It was not Morey, for Boireau did not know him. He was, however, acquainted with Pepin, to whom he introduced him afterwards. Fieschi never received at the time a fraction from either Morey or Pepin. He had plenty of money. He was working for M. Pereire, who paid him very liberally. As a soldier he could live on very little. A basin of soup and a piece of boiled beef were sufficient for his meal. The first time he received 10 or 12 francs from Pepin was to purchase some gun powder, and on that day he witnessed the heroism of that indivi dual. He received about forty francs in all from him. He then said that he considered himself bound in honour to execute the crime. In addressingethe court, he was speaking to the world. -He was very vain, he confessed, and that was his greatest failing._ _ • • , Fieschi then gave an account of a suit of clothes which M. Pereire paid for, and which were left at his lodging. He told the tailor his name was Alexis. On being asked how he came by the gun-barrels, he said that Pepin had written for them to Cavaignac, but had received no answer from the latter. 1 ieschi recommended hail to probure short carabines. Pepin told him that he often saw Cavaignac, who owed him 500 francs. Pepin represented the latter as the chief of the palitical sections, and as a patriotic and virtuous man. He could not say how Cavaignac came to owe Penh, without th a t gentleman any to do in pro curing the mumtet-narrels. One day he ,met Pepin in the cem panT of a gentleman, who he said was the son of a deputy of the juste milieu party. He added that this individual had given Cavaignac a sum of 600 franks to buy the muskets, and was sure that Pepin had acquainted the prisoners of St. Pelagic, with the plan,—" Why," observed Fieschi, "did they escape if they did not know my intei*on. I have be e n myself a prisoner for many a year, and the' idea of escaping never entered my head. It is the duty of a prison e r to obey the laws. Bei nuse a man is a captive he should notill-treat his guards, as the re publicans were, wont to do. I was"never guilty o f suc h con d uct, and yet I am a man like another. The president then questioned Fieschi upon the facts relative to Bescher, and the passport procured in his name. Fieschi " I was dying with hunger at the time, i n a worse state than a doy who.uins his liciny from door to door. In soy place any other person would have gone mad ;—would have kill e d himself. I f striking his breast) preferred becoming the assas sin of f or ty p erso n s . My head will fall, but it will not recal to life those ()rave generals with whom I fought in former days, (here h e crosse d hi & arms .) After a short silence, on being 're minded of the fact ()lithe passport by the president, he said, in a solemn manner Morey is a good and generous man. H e gave me even to his shirt s . He received me as if I had been his child, but he is still my accomplice. I have proved this by facts. It was he who procured me a passport by the means of Renaudin." After some other questions the president said--"Fieschi, there is one question remaining for me to put to you; it is an im portant one, and I recommend you not to answer me without having consulted your conscience. Do you persist in your avow als, and your declarations, as far as concerns yourselt and y our fellow-prisoners ? • Fieschi (with solemnity)-1 do persist, and I swear to it on the tomb of my father. The president then proceeded to examine Morey, who denied some of the admissions of Fieschi, which the latter, however, persisted in declaring were true, and on several occasions en tered into further explanatory statements to prove the correct ness of what he had said. MONDAY, Fan:l.—This day's proceedings commenced with the examination of Pepin. He said that in 1833 he had entered the Society of the Rights of Man; 'he also belongedlo the Association for the Instruc tion of the People; but never entertained any 'exalted political principles; knew Morey, but never remarked that be professed incendiary principles; had known Fieschi under the name of Bescher, under. Which name he' had been presented to him by Morey as a persecuted patriot. Fieschi told him he had been thrice condemned to death under the restoration, and had passed ten years in the prison of Embrun. • Pepin, on being asked did More , ' 'Show him a copy of the ma chine drawn by Fieschi, denied the circumstance altogether. All Fieschi had said on the subj€et was mere invention. A drawing, purporting to he!!flie 'figure of the infernal ma chine, said to have been exeentled - by Pepin, was here presented to the latter. who said he' inight have made such a drawing when a child. Pepin denied ever having spoken to Fieschi of the attempt to kill the king ; had someiiines visited the political prisoners confined at St. - Pelagic, and had never done so without taking them some provisions; had never told Fieschi that he had had a long conversation with a general who was hostile to the, go vernment, for a' very simple reason—he knew no officer of that rank; he never told Fieschi that he would willingly give 500 iph fr• to any one who, would shoot the king •he abhorred mur d such a sentiment was contrary to the principles of his fe.. chipsrsisted in his former statements. The court was left Sitting when the report of this day's proceedings was de spatched to England. TRIAL OF FIESCHL PARIS, Jan. 30.—This importantaffair carne on to-day before the Court of Peers, being a month earlier than had been con templated ; but the comparatively sudden termination of the proves-monstre leaving the peers (as a court) unoccupied, and the preparatory proceedings being complete, it was deemed ex pedient to bring the avowed principal in the horrible attempt on the King's life, and in so many assassinations resulting from it, with his alleged accomplices, to justice with as little delay as was possible. 'Shortly after twelve o'clock, a little bustle observable in the court announced the arrival of a distinguished personage. It was Prince Talleyrand f in his costume as a peer of Franse (re sembling marvellously that of a well-dressed footman,) with a feathered cocked hat. A few minutes later, and the curtain behind the seat allotted to :he accused became a g itated, and ° dividine, an officer and a few so ldi ers of the garde municipale entered, followed by the prisoner Pepin—then a municipal guardsman—then Pieschi—then another soldier—Morey—a soldier—Bescher—and, finally, Boireau. Pepin looked ten years older then n hen I saw him on trial in the year 1832, for the insur rec ti o n o f June. He was decently dressed in a black or (lark brown coat, with a figured velvet waistcoat, and had the same common air and appearance which I observed formerly. He was evidently that for which his former conduct when on trial had prepared me—that is, much depressed. '; Morey had the appearance of a man of seventy years of age, although some years younger. He wore a black silk nightcap, such as invalids‘or old men in France are often seen with. He was apparently in the last stage of weakness or sickness, :And was immediately seated. He had the air of a man who had (to use a common phrase) seen better days. Boireau is a young man of twenty-six or twenty-eight years, with a very smart air, and what is usually termed in England a saucy face. He seemed perfectly indifferent about his situation. He was well dressed in black, with a little foppery about him, including a pair of mustaches. Bescher appears a man of thirty-eight or forty-eight years of age. I shall quote their precise age at the end of my report if .1 have time. He Wore a blue frock, and was otherwise well dressed. He was perfectly collected, without the slightest touch of affectation, and seemed a respectable man. Fieschi has, when examined, as bad a face as can be imagined. There is in one or other of Hogarth's pictures (one of the stages of The Idle Apprentice, I think) a face strongly resembling his. Ile is a man of some two or three and forty; round face, vulgar, and common withal; but there is an expression of cunning—of cruelty—and a glare of satisfied 9r triumphant villany about him, which I never before saw in a living human countenance. On entering the chart his colour was high, and his manner and gestures those of a man affecting to conceal, as it were, an irre pressible self-complacency—self-possession, and even gaiety. He looked round with the courageous grin of a man who wished to be considered an object of admiration, and also of one who set the consequences of his crime at defiance. .His side look, without being a scowl, is awfully forbidding. He laughed fre quently, shook hands with a barrister (his advocate,) took snuff; and coutinued acting his well-rehearsed part, with occasionally, it was remarked to me, a malignant smile—a smile which was held to bode no good to his co-accused or employers. The evil expression of his countenance was, no doubt, considerably ag gravated by the consequences of the bursting of some of the gun-barrels at the moment of the explosion, for, as well as I could see, the corners of his mouth on the ,left side were drawn in and pursed from his wounds. His forehead showed the mark of the fracture of his skull, and his left temple, for about the circumference of a crown piece, was bare, as it had recently been blistered. He is a low-sized man, with no indication of that vast muscular strength attributed to him, and with which he wishes U have it believed he is endowed. When he had been seated a few minutes his colour vanished, and his face be came of a yellow paleness. His dress was clean, but bespoke poverty. 1-lis frock, waistcoat, and cravat, were of rusty black. I ought to observe, perhaps, thatthe prisoners were seated on a row of benches in the followingnrder, beginning at the left (looking from the court) : Fieschi, a garde municipale, Morey, a garde municipale, and then, in the same chequered way, Pepin, Boireau, and Bescher. Scarcely had the prisoners bCen placed in order when the peers entered, and the appel nominel was immediately made (the names of the peers called over.) After the Recorder had concluded the appel - notainel of the peers, 175 of whom were in attendance, 'Peron Pasquier questioned the prisoners on, their name, age, profession, &c. Fieschi replied, in a firm voice, that his name was Joseph Marie Fieschi; that he was born in Murato, in Corsica, on the 3d December, 1790; and that he was a mecanicien by profes sion. Morey, in a feeble voice, stated that his christian name was Peter ' • that he was born at Chassaigne, in the department of the Cote d'Or ; and that he was a saddler. Pepin, also in a stifled voice, gave in his name tsr be Pierre. Theodore Florentin ; born at Remy, in Picardy, in 1801; and that he was a grocer. Boireau, without any visible emotion, said that his name was Victor; that he was twenty-five years of age, and born at La Fleche, in the department of the Sarthe ; and that he was a lamp-maker. "La ; Chat tie wh l iberylelte •Iftrie' l oV4 t .hi,e„eh rij L the department of Mayenne ; and that he was a bookbinder. • When the interrogatory of the prisoners was eoncluded, the Recorder read the bill of indictment containing the recapitula tion of the crimes Fieschi and his accomplices were accused of, and the various considerations of the Court of Peers for declar ing itself competent to try them for high treason. Fieschi appeared perfectly indifferent to what was going on. He looked to the right and left, took an odd pinch of snuff, dig i'Vopoleon, and kept continually fixing his cravat and the collar of his shirt. Morey, a feeble old man, remained with his eyes constantly fixed on the ground, and appeared to labour under great physical sufferings. Pepin also seemed very much down cast. Boireau and Bescher were quite composed.. The Recorder of the Court next proceeded to read the volu minous report of the commission appointed to investigate the matter, , and containing a full statement of the facts imputed to each of the prisoners individually, with which our readers are already acquainted. The act of accusation Anglice- bill of indictment having been read, the President proceeded to exantine the prisoner, The following passagee will suffice to show the manner in which criminal justice is administered in France. President.— Was it not you, who between 12 and one o'clock vn the 28111 July, 1 835, /Tom the window of the house, No. 50, on the Boulevard du Tempte, fired a machine by which 40 persons were killed or wounded, and the lives of the King and his two sons en dangered: _ _ Fieschi (with 'solemnitv)—Yes, Sir. President.—Was not that machine composed of musket bar reis ranged on a frame of oak ? Fieschi.—Yes, sir. President.—You avow yourself to be the contriver and maker of that machine ? Fieschi.—Yes, sir. President. —How many gun barrels were there on it ? F en ty-fou r. President—How were they charged? Fies:chi.—With four buck -shot, a musket ball entire, and another cut in quarters. President.—Nothing else ? Fiesehi.—Yes ; in one of them was a screw. The President then interrogated the prisoner on the manner in which the machine had been fired, which he stated was by a train of gunpowder, ignited by a piece of slow match. President.—Was it at one end, or in the middle that you fired it? Fieschi.—ln the centre! President. —One of the barrels burst? Fieschi.—Yes—(striking his forehead). Behold the proofs; look at my head. The prisoner then, in reply to the questions of the President, proceeded. I endeavoured, after the explosion, and notwith standing my wounds, to escape by a ro p e f rom a w i n d ow i n th e rear of the house. Vhen arrested I had on me a knife and stiletto, a cat'o-nine-tails with leaden knobs to them. I threw away the poniard near the chateau d'Eau (the fine form tan in front of the Diorama.) President.—Why (The reply is quite characteristic of the sentimental monster.] Fieschi.—That dagger is mine. I threw it away for this rea son—a national guard gave me a thump. lam not accustomed to be so treated. I recollected that I had a dagger, and a bad thought struck me. I took hold of it, and I said "No," and I threw away the poniard ! Fieschi then proceeded—l charged them the day before with tko...hammer, with the aid of my accomplice, More•. /President.—Do you recognise that print of the Duke of Bor deaux found in the room? Fieschi.—l do. P-resident;--With what intention did you purchase it.? Fieschi.—lt was a wild thought. It was in order that, if I failed, it should not be known whether the attempt was made by Carlists or republicans. I was also told to buy several copies of opposition journals, but I forget it. On being asked whether he was aware of the rank, age, and sex of his victims, and did he not intend to kill the King and his sons, lie replied that he had told the truth, and would persist in his declaration, that the plot against the King's life had been concocted between him and his accomplices. He then stated that, when he perceived M. Lovecat, he hesitated, but finally said to himself, "I gave my word of honour, and I will not prove a perjurer." He was glad, he added, that none of the persons killed were acquaintances of his. Fieschi then entered into the history of his life. I do not speak French as fluently as I do Italian; nevertheless, said he. I shall do my best to convey toy ideas to the court. lam an old soldier. I was 'sentenced to death with Alurat in 1815. After the rovolution of July I offered my services to the French go vernment, and 'I applied to the ministry for relief as a political sufferer. lam neither a Carlist nor a republican. I had been incorporated into the veterans. 1 was happy when I chanced to form the unfortunate connexion which reduced me to my last shirt. I served Messrs. Caune and Lovecat. I als o volun teered my services to M. Baude, who accepted them, as P re f ec t of Police. I sin extremely grateful to those gentlemen. On the 24th April, 1834, a warrant was issued agaiust me for hay- . . ing' , forged papers to establish my claim as a political snffe. I fell into the utmost misery. I knew not where to get my din ner; I had not even one penny to get myself shaved. It was then the man you know admitted me to his house, and it was there the plan of that unfortunate machine was got up. I had • accomplices quite beneath me. sir: they were not worthy of My character. I had only one vice throughout life; but it will bring me to the scaffold. I regret the victims I made more than life itself; but it is now all over. I ant sorry for it. Some questions were then put as to his cccupation, opinions, political connections. and the nature of his intercourse with the other prisoners, all of which he answered.with the utmost sang frac!, The continuation of the examination is thus described : The prisoner then mentioned the occurrence at a dinner at Pepin's, at which he was present, with several other .persons, among whom were Morey, Recurt, a barrister. whom I only know by sight, and a deputy of Bretagne (M. Vaillant.) The conversation turned on the practicability of an attempt on the King's life. The deputy who presided at the banquet, evading a question about the succession, said " Let us allow the mutton tim e to boil Pepin on another occasion told me that he ex pected Prince Charles de Rehan, whom on the next (My I met at his house.

We have been favoured with the following interesting letter from our private correspondent at Constanti nople :- 4‘ CONSTANTINOPLE, 6TH JANUARY, 1836.--The severity of the winter absorbs all interest in commercial or political affairs, The poor Turks, wliose feast (it is a fast) of Ramazan prevents their comforting themselves with a dram, a mouthful, or even a chibouk, from the rising to the setting of the sun, are more busy in contriving to keep their shivering limbs warm over a fire, or beneath huge yorgans or quilts a -bed, than designing to impede the encroaches of their neighbours, the bears, who must have sent the cold from their arctic regions to make this coun try appear more than ever their own. Never since the winter of 1812—that which was fatal to the army and the glory of Napoleon—has the cold been so intense; or the violence of the snow-storms so terrific. The snow has fallen at intervals, and has lain on the ground during the last twenty (lays to the depth of from three to six feet; whilst the frost is so severe that the thermometer stands at ten to fifteen degrees below the freezing point even in the houses. Previous to the first falls of snow the weather was very boisterous and foggy, the long continuance of which foreboded an unusually severe winter, and caused the greatest disasters amongst the shipping on various parts of the in the Black Sea, near the Bogaz, the entrance of the Bosphorus, tvhgre vessels were driven on shore after vainly endeavouring to find the entrance. Since then more accidents are heard of, similar in nature, and, what is equally dreadful, vessels that have arrived in port have in many instances had half of their crews frozen to death. One vessel with passengers on board threw fifteen of them overboard froth the same cause. On land, too, many sad catastrophes have oc curred. Shepherds with their flocks, travellers passing from one village to another, overcome with fatigue and blinded with the density of the snow which the storm blew horizontally in small icy partieles, lay down to rise no more. A soldier was found at his post near Vera, standing with his arms shouldered, frozen to death. In crossing the Bosphorus, several boats have been lost, or are missing; one containing the family of a rich Armenian sheraff was amongst the latter, and was found on one of the Prince's Islands, after three or four days search, in the most deplorable condition despite the numerous pelises, all well furred, which covered them. The man that carried the news of their discovery to the shera.ff received a present of 15,000 piastres, about £l5O sterling. `• The wolves are making gradual approaches to the neigh bouring, villag;es in search of food, the frost and snow having destroyed or hidden their victims of the forest. Several bodies have tieen discovered completely anatomized by these animals. "Trade, from this weather and the holydays of the Arme nians, Greeks, and catholics, is at a stand still. On reckoning up the number of British vessels that have entered this port laden with manufactures principally, colonials, and iron during the past year, it is pleasing to find a considerable increase; and what is still more pleasing is, that this increase is enti re l y f rom Liverpool, the number from London being' really less than in 1834—a year moreover notable for the great activity in trade here. Two British vessels were loaded, by being laid on the berth, for Liverpool. Of these, the schooner Anaxibia, Capt. Pidgeon, was the first to / lead the way, none having ever ven tured before. " The Capidan Pasha, with his fleet, is said to he returned, and now at the Dardanelles. It is reported that he may be hourly expected, a steamer having been despatched for him. Nothing is said of what he has been doing. The Russians are evidently trying to rekindle the jealousies between the Sultan and ;Mehemet Ali. The bone' of dispute is the city of Bagdad, which the Russians persuade Mehemet Ali he ought to have; and then the Sultan must send a large army in that direction — quite out of the way when the Russians come to Constantinople; or, if the Sultan's troops be beaten, the bears must be kindly caressed to come to their assistance-La pleasant office, which, though the brute may look gruff at and askance, in his heart he wished but to do." We have'pri vale letters and papers from Van Diemen's Land to the 3d October. The colony, we are happy to state, on the authority of one of the most respectable and influential settlers, who is also a member of the legisla tive council, is in a' very prosperous and flourishing condition. The following extracts are taken from the letter of the gentleman we have alluded to : " Our intercourse with Liverpool is on the increase, and have lent my feeble aid to promote it—not for the sake of Li verpool in opposition to London, but because I like competition , and feel assured th a t th e rate of • freight to London will be re duced by such rivalry. Our Dervvent Bank is iu a very flou rishing condition; our dividends being fifteen per cent.; with an immense reserve." Our press. is, • I think, tho most unprincipled .af_auy in the. world ! There a re but two exceptions, viz., the Launceston Ad vertiser and the H o b art Town C o urier ; the rest of our public press, one and all, are mendacity personified." " I will relate to you a fact which I think you will do well to make known in Engl a nd. The New South Wales wool has always had a higher character in England than our Tasmanian wool. Many of our settlers and wool dealers are in the habit of sending their woo l to • Sydney, getting it pac ked and marked there in the New SouthVates mode, and thus pass off in Lon don great quantities of our Van Diemen's Land as Sydney wool, and get 25 per , ent. more for it than it would fetch at home as Tasmanian ! Thus you see the wool buyers arc more influen ce d b y t h e name t h an by the quality of the article. You may rely upon this as an unquestionable fact." " We have just pasSed an insolvent debtor's act, to which the governor will give his assent,- that will prove a model which your learned Sir John Campbell will do_ well to adopt in any measure of that kind that he may contemplate bringing before parliament." Instead of speculating, without having materials be fore us, upon the proceedings or probable resulf the great struggle which commenced yesterday in the House of Commons, we beg to direct the attention of our read ers to what has occured in our own local parliament. The Town-council met on Wednesday last, and, among other matters, was occupied with the considera tion of what is called a " Report of the Watch Commit tee." This is the first official document which has emana ted from the collective wisdom of Liverpool, and a pre cious document it is. The committee system is in full work, and the jobbing upon a small as well as a large scale has fairly begun. The printink and stationary ac count will, we fear, before the:end of the year, be a liberal one in various ways. The favoured printer has taken care to conceal his, name, by omitting it from the printed report, which renders him liable to a penalty, and, in or• der to prevent this trick frore being repeated, we hope some poor man will lay an information againSt him before Mr. Stipendiary HALL—the half of the fine goes to the informer. The council who profess to do every thing FEBRURAY 5, openly should not allow their printer to have only the wages, and not the public honour, for serving thenr. The committee in their report to which we allude, and which will be found elsewhere, state, that the cost of the present day and 'night police for Liverpool, , includirrti that for watching Everton, Kirkdale, West Derby, and Toxteth Park, and the other new sections of the bo rough, amounts to £21,000. The number of men at present employed in the old borough is 227, but we are not informed how many men are employed in the new parts above mentioned, although the expense of them is presented in the estimate. They, however, propose to increase the watch force from 227 to 350 men, the ex pense of which they estimate at £24,000. Of these men about two hundred are to be on duty from ten o'clock at night to six o'clock in the morning, and the remainder partially on duty through the day. The executive of this new watch establishment is to consist of a riding head constable with a free house and £450 per annum. An additional £5O a-year are to be allowed for the horse on which Mt. Head Constable is to exhibit himself. There is also to be a sitting commissioner with a house and £450 per annum. There are to be four superinten dents with £l5O a-year each, twenty-few unfortunate . inspectors at thirty shillings a-week, and two hundred rtnd ninety men at eighteen shillings a-week, and six pounds a-year fofind them in clothes and " a becoming, good, and well-made uniform !" We have only to add, that these unfortunate persons, in a "becoming uni form," thus exposed to temptation, must all be able to write like Mr GODFREY BARNSLEY, and read like Colo- net WILLIAMS.. From what part of Ireland they are to come from we really cannot tell. If an elEcient police force, taking also upon itself the management of the fire department, by paying one shil ling extra per week to forty of the police, eanlie formed at. an expense of £24,000 , or even, £30,000 per annum, the inhabitants of Liverpool will be under great obliga tions to the new town council. But it is impossible to look at the report without seeing that it is a juggle from .beginning to end: The gentlemen who authorise it, either allowed it to be concocted by some person who has most egregiously imposed upon them, or they themselves did not know what they were doing. For instance, there is in the expenditure of the present police an item £BOO set down for election expences, but we find no provision made for an election under the new system. We per ceive that the "incidental" expenses at present amount to £2,500, while £2,545 only are allowed under the new. Surely, if two hundred and twenty-seven men, in a much narrower circle, incur incidental expenses to the amount of £2,500, it is only reasonable to suppose that three hundred and fifty men, much more widely scattered, and, having heavier duties to perform both by night and day, will incur at least £4,000 for incidentals. Here, then, at the very commencement, we find un pardonable errors and omissions in the estimate. We defy this handful of men to protect the peace of so large a town as this, during.a contested election, without the aid of numerous special' constables or the military. If the reformers mean to resort to this last species of force, on the score of economy, we wish them joy ; if not, we beg the committee to add £BOO to their estimate. That, with the omitted incidentals, will raise the cost of.the police from £24,000 to £26,300. But there re other expenses which curiously enough are not allowed to enter into the estimate. Two large • station-houses for " exercising" the men and " setting the watch," are to be built, one in Duke•street, and the other in Scotland-place. Each of those station-houses is to " constitute a Bridewell or lock-up," and each is to have two Bridewell keepers—the one a " marri•ed man to reside with his wife in the Bridewell, and have 21s. per week; the other to attend twelve or fourteen hours each day, and to be paid 255. per week !" These two new Bridewells are to be in addition to the three Bride wells we already possess. Of course they will have to be furnished, supplied with coals and candler, and be large, airy, and comfortable for the exercising of the men. But none of these ,trifling items of expenditure are calculated .upon in the estimate. Where the first cost is to come from is not stated. The riding bead constable's horse is provided for, but who is to provide the horse isnot explaiued. We beg to inform the watch committee that horses do not live for ever. -- On the whole this will be a very convenient job. The four superintendents, the 24 inspectors, the 10 Bridewell keepers,' the eight constables, the four turnkeys, and the two clerks, will all be thick and thin radicals, probably distant relations of DANIEL the mendicant, and just the sort of people to keep the peace, and protect property. during a contested election. The best post in the job is that of the sitting commissioner with a good house, coals, candles, &c., and £450 per annum. What he is to do beyond eating, drinking, and sleeping, we are unable to comprehend. The committee, in cutting out this board of patronage for the benefit of their friends, have taken care that there shall he no mistake. They have .removed the present superintendent, to make room for some nominee of their own. We are not aware that there is not any charge against Mr. PARLOUR. We have ever considered him an able officer, who, the other day only, nearly lost his life in his strenuous exertions to save property at a fire. He is diSmissed, however, without even being accused, without being treated with ordinary courtesy, without being allowed to meet or explain any objection there may be to him ; and it is said that Mr. WHITTY, the superin tendent of the night watch, is to receive the appointment. Now, we have nothing to say against the qualifications of Mr. WHITTY, as a police officer, for we have no means of judging of them ; but we confess the pUblic will have reason to suspect the purity of the motives which led to his seiectien when they call to Mind that Mr. WHITTY is a Roman catholic and a radical in politics. Besides, it is 'not a little singular that the officer, thus favOured, is the only man against the efficiency of whose depart ment anything like a tangible censure is conveyed by the committee. In the report, speaking of Mr. WHITTY'S night-watch, we find the following words Of the 130 watchmen now on the establishment the committee feel it their duty to report, FORTY-FIVE unfit for the office, and TWENTY-FIVE whose qualifications are very doubtful." Whose fault is this ? Here we are told that more than one-half of all the men employed in protecting the pro perty, of the town by night are unfit persons ; and yet the very officer who has the drilling, the exercising, and the superintendence of these men, receives a higher appoint ment, and is in future to be intrusted with the protection of our property by day as well as by night. This censure upon Mr. WHITTY is not ours. We pass no opinion upon it, further than thus noticing its sin clarity. Although we consider the treatment that Mr. PARLOUR has received is harsh and disgraceful, considering the circumstances under which he was brought to Liverpool, the arduous duties he had to discharge, and the chances of promotion, which he had in London, lost, still it is some consolation that he is entitled to compensation, and this compensation during his life time of several hundred pounds a year, will help to swell the expendi ture upon. the new police. The peoPle of Liverpool, however, will have to pay for it all. We contend that the establishment of which we have given the outline, taking all the facts, and all the neces sary outlay into calculatien, cannot be supported with any thing like efficiency under £35,000 or £40,000 per .annum, and even then it will be in many respects a non efficient and useless, if nut dangerous police. Let us see how it will work in case of a fire. Forty of the policemen are to he firemen, and are to have one shilling a week extra for running the risk of being but nt to death. Suppose that a fire should break out through the night in Water-street. Some of these forty may be on duty, some of them probably in their beds, at a dis tance of nearly two miles from the fire. Before these last can be roused from their slumbers and brought to the scene of action the work will be complete ; but sup posing the, whole of them to be by accident on night duty, they will have to leave the district they watch and hasten to the fire. In this case there would be at least some two or three hundred streets in the town left wholly without protection—as much so as if there was no watchman in existence. _ rife inhabitants, who pav these watchmen, haye a ri g ht to e xp ec t p ro tection. They have as much ri g ht to bwatched as the property of others, or the interests of the.insurance' companies, have to be saved. But they cannot have this under the proposed system ; and so inefficient will these forty men be that it will not surprise u s to see the insurance offices increase the rate of their • remiums. But we shah have more to say on this Pulject. 1 , .4t;
