THE defects and disorders in our social and political systems which led to the introduction of the continental system of police have not been in the slightest degree removed or prevented. The bludgeon and the tread-mill—the mask and water-gruel—the straps, cats, and all the other implements of torture, punishment, and death, have failed to correct loose habits or to prevent mime. When the introduction of the police force now in existence took place, the most solemn assurance was given to the public by statesmen enjoying the confidence of the country, that it was a branch of the civil service which should at all times be held under the most rigid restrictions, and never suffered to infringe on the constitutional rights of the subject. The probability, and indeed possibility, of any such promise being kept, was looked upon at the time it was made with great doubt, and in many cases, with a positive certainty of its open and flagrant violation. The police once established, the pledge was speedily forgotten, and legislation soon found means for extending the power of the force beyond all constitutional limits. And what do we find ? The good old English aphorism "my house is my castle" is but a dreamy delusion, which any scoundrel receiving a pound a week from the pockets of the public may at a moment demon strate with the utmost impunity, by breaking in one's door or walking in at a window. Our mer. chants and traders, the very sinews of the Empire, are classes which were once jealously guarded by the legislature ; but now a shadow on a wall re sembling the ghost of something tangible, and which looks anything but what it really is—is held to be a sufficient justification fur a policeman to walk into a counting-house and drag its inmates to the Brideweil, like common thieves. Our shop keepers are the indispensable adjuncts of com merce, and their taste and enterprise give grandeur to our cities, while their character imparts a high moral tone to society. And yet a tradesman or a Apply to HIGHLY IMPORTANT AND EXTENSIVE SALE WINES of FIRST RATE QUALITIES.

Whatever is intended for insertion must be authenticated by the name and address of the writer; not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of his good faith. We cannot undertake to return rejected communications. All communications, Books for Review, etc., to be for warded to the Editor must be addressed to the Publisher, CHARLES WILLMER, and those from London may be sent to the care of Messrs. Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. shopkeeper must not talk aloud to a brother trades man in the - street bni "an officer" must collar hiM forsooth ! and drag him from his home and his family, and thrust him for a whole night into a dungeon in the depth of a northern winter. Again, the poor hard-worked, anxious, industrious opera tive, who by accident, or we will say " from habit," drinks a little too much, if he be seen to stagger— fall—get up again —stagger—and fall a second time, and in the full heat of his misfortunes should chance to drop an oath, he is instantly seized by a " rattling officer," who, in his own cups, mistakes the prostrate mortal before him for a teetotaller, and inflicts, with no small gusto, the sweets ,of a tippler's bludgeon ; and after having practised the usual arts of torture (which, thank Heaven, are of modern date in old England) on his hands, arms, and throat, he lodges his cruelly abused victim in a cold damp dungeon, where, in many cases, immediate medical aid and a warm bed ought to be provided for the man whose only crime is a folly and vice which is almost universal ! In the practical working of this system, which some wiseacres call " moral restraint," there are outrages committed of the most revolting charac ter, as well as direct and wanton violations of the rights of the subject. In our police report of yes- terday, we .find Mr. John MuLLiNs, a grocer and res pectable tradesman, while talking to a friend, was seized by a policeman, dragged to bridewell, and locked up all night on a charge of being "drunk and disorderly." The charge is brought before the Magistrate, when it appears that Mr. MuLmtis was no more drunk than the friend he had with him, who was not taken into custody. The police admit Mr. Mux.r.nis's friend was not drunk, and Mr. MumaNs's friend swore that Mr. MuLLnkis was as sober as he was. The case was consequently dismissed, and the fact appears to be that Mr. MULLINS was " a marked man by the police." Now, we ourselves talk a great deal about the iniquitous acts of !the Inquisition, and the fearful state of the law in bygone times, when no man's limbs or life were worth an hour's purchase, but we seem to have forgotten what is going on around us daily. But if we have been slumbering, now that we are alive to the enormities of the whole system, we will not fail to exercise the utmost vigilance henceforth. And what was our horror on Tuesday night, when we witnessed a police out rage of the most brutal character with our own eyes. The gentlemen of this office hearing a noise which sounded like that of a person being ill-used, hasten towards the sound. On arriving at the corner of South John-street and Lord-street, two police men came up, holding a tipsy man, whom they had handcuffed, with his hands behind his back. The man was walking as steadily as a man could walk in his position ; and when he had gone a short distance from the corner of John-street, in the direction of Castle-street, the policeman who walked between the unfortunate man and the wall, suddenly gave the poor fellow a jerk by the collar, when he) fell with great violence flat on the flags. On seeing this we instantly ran to the spot, where we found the man perfectly insensible, and bleeding most profusely, from a frightful gash in his face. To have interfered at this moment Would have involved us in the certainty of being dragged to Bridewell, and charged with inter medling with "an officer" in the discharge of his duty. We went, however, to the Bridewell, yester day morning, where we were told " that some man had been taken to the Hospital in a cart, or a truck, or something, in the course of the n;gllt And we find by our Police rppc , ,t of yesterday, that gnmo mam. ;,Hargett by the police was in the Hospital, and too ill to attend. To applaud the London Drayman for flogging a Haynau, while such a system as this is suffered in our streets, is simply to hold up England to the contempt and ridicule of the world. The last case, to which we have alluded, shall not be lost sight of, as it is one of great public importance. Since writing the above,. we have ascertained that the ill-used man alluded to is in the Northern Hospital, and the account given of the affair there is very different from the facts of the case. Our reporter was informed that tho man's name was JAMES WILLIAMS, and that "he had been taken to Bridewell by a number of boys, and from thence forwarded to the Hospital ; that his face was much cut and bruised, and that he was a little better." This matter must be followed up by the public, unless, indeed, we are prepared to submit to a wholesale system of savage brutality. The new fortifications at Dour will be ready in July, 1E154.

EAST GLOUCESTER ELECTION.—On Monday evening a public meeting of the electors was held at the Booth-hall, Gloucester, to hear an e x p os iti on o f t h e po li tical sentiments of Mr. Edward Holland, one of the candidates for the representation of East Gloucestershire. ' The room was crowded to overflowing, and the result was a motion pro posed by Mr. Strange, to support Mr. Holland. AMERICA AND THE SULTAN.--A letter from Berlin says :—" A: piece of curious news is circulated here as authentic, but the truth of which st is impossible to ascertain at Berlin. Namik Pascha has not succeeded at Paris in negociating a loan. This was to be expected. But what could not be foreseen is that the United States of America have (so it is said) offered a very considerable sum to the Porte, on the condition that some small island in the Archi pelago shall be ceded to them. QUARTER SESSIONS.--The following persons convicted at the Quarter Sessions, were sentenced on yesterday :—David Clarke, four years penal servitude; William Fletcher, one weeks' imprisonment and hard labour ; William Hunter," eighteen calendar months' imprisonment, with hard labour; Johanna Russell, four calendar months, and hard labour; Margaret Dee, three calendar months, and hard labour; Margaret Brown, six weeks, and hard labour ; Mary Dee, three calendar months, and hard labour ; Thomas Cain, five calendar months, and hard labour, one week solitary. SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday an inquest was held on the body of William Lea, who died suddenly the preview morning. The deceased was 32 years of age, and clerk in the employ of the London and North Western railway com pany at the goods station in Wapping. On Tuesday morn ing about 10 o'clock the deceased took an order to one of the shipping clerks, named John Spender, who was at the time in a hut under the large goods shed ih Crosbie-street. After he left Mr. Spender he went through No. 4 door into Crosbie-street, and immediately fell down side-ways and rolled over. He was carried into the shed and laid on some straw, where he died immediately. On searching him a letter was found that had been written by the deceased to Mr. Salter, cashier, in that branch of the establish men t, i n which the deceased begged most earnestly for the loan of two pounds on account of his wages which are paid monthly. Across this was written a refusal saying that it was contrary to orders, and on the back of the same sheet was a request that the gentleman would; reconsider the request and that Mrs. Lea had come to the office and it would be a great disappointment if she had to go without the money. This was also refused. There was also what appeared to be a copy of a letter written on tissue paper making a request for money to his parents and urgently requesting the loan of some money to help him out of his present difficulties. It was stated to the court that the clerks generally felt it to be a great grievance that their wa;es are paid monthly, it being a very great loss to their families, who, if their wages were paid weekly, would be enabled to pay ready money for goods instead of being obliged to get them on credit. The coroner said these were arrangements for the directors of the company and did not come within his jurisdiction. He put it to the jury whether they ought not to have the body opened to ascertain the cause of death. The jury said they would rather first view the body. Mr. Kelly, of Park-lane, the surgeon, who was called in at the time of death went with the jury and deposed that the de ceased had died of serous apoplexy (without n.aking a post mortem). The jury were satisfied with the surgeon's evi dent eand returned a verdict in accordance therewith. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The Loudon Stock Market' opened heavy :wain to-day, and the earliest quotations were a shade lower than the closing yesterday, the opening for January account. being 941 to 944. From this point they fluctuated slightly, being quoted at 941 and again at 94 at which they may be said to have closed. But after the official hours, the general market became weaker, and some transac ' tions were quoted ,at 947- 3 to 944 ex. div. Three per cents reduced 944 4 - ; three-and-a-quarter per cents 964 - 4 -; Exchequer bills 6s. to 9s. pm. ; India bonds 2s. to ss. pm. In the Foreign Stock Market the only feature worthy of notice, is an advance of 14 per cent, in the value of Russian five per cent. bonds, which were quoted at 1124 to 114. Other stocks were heavy. Peruvian declined 14 per cent. Chilian bonds 1 per cent. higher. Spanish 3 per cents. 464, and deferred, 22 certificates, to 54 per cent.

SPECIAL MEETING, YESTERDAY. A special meeting of the Salford Town Council was held in the council chamber, town-hall, yesterday, when the chair was occupied by his worship the mayor (William Ross, Esq.) The MAYOR said, looking at the business notified in the circular he did not think that there was anything which called for special remark, the proceedings being chiefly of a formal character. The members of the council must bear in mind that it was requisite that two-thirds of the coun cil, forty three gentlemen, should be present when the by laws for the regulation of hackney coaches were proposed, Ths Towx CLERK read the minutes of proceedings at the last meeting, which were approved of and confirmed. The Towx CLERK next read the proceedings of com mittees which were approved and passed. A report respecting by-laws for the regulation of hack ney coaches was adopted, as was also a report from the Salford district finance committee. Messrs. Shelmerdine and Cliffe were appointed on several of the committees of the council. The costs of preparing and printing the lists of voters for the parliamentary borough of Salford for the year 1853-4 were apportioned owing the several townships to contribute thereto. Tho meeting then broke up. THE EA.RLY CLOSING MOVEMENT -LECTURE LAST KIGHT. An interesting rneeting took place last night, at Messrs. Frisby, Dyke,. & Co.'s, in Lord.street, on the occasion of a lecture delivered by Mr. Belford, commis sion agent, of South Castle-street, (late of Messrs. Ceo. Hitchcock & Co., St. Paul's Church-yard, London). The subject was "the responsibility of young men, arising from their increased facility for mental cultiva tion." . There were upwards of 100 ladies and gentle men, in the employment of the establishment, present. Mr. Dyke, one of the partners in the firm, took the chair, and opened the proceedings by expressing the warm feeling he entertained in favour of the early clos ing movement. After stating his conviction, that in the event of early closing becoming general, the young men of Liverpool would not abuse the boon, he introduced Mr. Belford, the lecturer, to the meeting. Mr. BEDFORD commenced his remarks by stating, that after eighteen years' experience in the trade, he had felt the evils of the late hour sy s t em , an d was able to appre ciate the benefits of the hours which were now being adopted. The lecturer then dwelt upon the main points of his subject, and in an address of nearly two hours duration, he enforced upon the young men of Liverpool, the moral and religious obligation which was now emposed upon them, to improve their mental posi tion, in consequence of the advantages conceded to them by those employers who had agreed to close their estab lishments at an earlier hour than had hitherto been adopted. At the conclusion of the lecture, Mr. Belford was very warmly cheered, A vote of thanks was moved to Mr. Belford, which was responded to with enthusiasm. The, health of Mr. Dyke, was also proposed, i n highly complimentary terms; and responded to by that gentle man. Mr. Belford next proposed a vote of thanks to the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, and the MERCURY, for the manner in which they had supported the early closing movement. The Chairman seconded the motion, which was carried amidst loud cheering, after which the interest ing proceedings terminated. R USSIA AND TURKEY. NEW SCENE OF WAR.-PROGRESS OF THE TURKS. (From our Second Edition of Yesterday.) We have received news • from Constantinople, by Vienna, down to the 3rd instant. The news of the disaster of Sinope is officially confirmed, and had just reached the Porte. Upon the receipt of this information, the British and French ambassadors had immediately de spatched two steam frigates from the combined squadrons to Sinope, and two other steam frigates to Varna, for the purpose of procuring precise intelligence. Upon the return of these vessels, it was thought probable that the combined fleets would receive orders to enter the Black Sea, to prevent if possible, any further collision between the Russian and Turkish naval forces. It is stated by the Russian accounts that the squadron subsequently destroyed at Sinope was • engaged in conveying forces to attack Soucham Kalsha, and that it was pursued into the port of Sinope by the Russian fleet. If this account of the circumstances preceding the engagement be correct,' it would give a som ew h a t different charac ter to the attack, as the Russian forces might be justified in interrupting a convoy destined to in vade - a portion of their own territory. The destination of the squadron is, however, still uncertain; and it is more probable that the transports were conveying reinforcements and pro visions to Batoum, where the Turkish army stands in need of both. It is reported that the British Charge d'Affairs at Teheran has suspended his diplomatic relations with the Persian Government, in consequence of that Power having resolved, as it is said, to tike part against the Porte and to march an army to the frontier. This movement on the part of the Shah of Persia had for some time been apprehended, as his relations with Turkey were such as to induce him to take advantage of the increasing difficulties of the Ottoman empire. The news, however, still requires positive confirmation The Morniug Post states that a Constantinople telegraphic despatch of the 3rd, reports the preva lence of great alarm and excitement, owing to the news from Sinope. The account given of the action is substantially the same as . the Russian. The fleets were bound to enter the Black Sea. Persia had declared war against Turkey. The Post's leading article says, that there can hardly exist a doubt that the Admirals had by this time entered, and are now in full command of the Black Sea.' With respect to the Persian declaration of war against Turkey, this is thp natural consequence of a treaty offensive and defensive between Persia and Russia concluded some months ago.. It adds' a new complication. BUC HARE ST.—Princo Gortschakoff has declared Galatz and Ibraila neutral Ports, Riots have taken place at Galatz, between the Wallachian militia and the Russian troops. A Battalion of the former refused to obey the orders of a Russian Ge neral. The Battalion in question and four Com panies of the Wallachians were consigned to Bar racks. There is nothing late from the Danube. Telegraphic despatches in the Chronicle give the details of the Turkish success in Asia. Schamyl and Selim Pacha had taken various fortresses ; and it is stated that they surround Prince Worongoff on all sides, in the vicinity of Teflis. The Turks were repulsed in an attack on Alexan drianople, in Georgia, but have blockaded the citadel of Akista. Its fall was daily expected. The Journal de Constantinople mentions a report that Schamyl had defeated 15,000 Russians, and a Vienna paper states that the attempt to land 18,000 Russians near St. Nicholas was repulsed with heavy loss. VIENNA. OTH.- The conferences of the ambas sadors are long and frequent. TURKISH LOAN. The Times' city article says :—lt is believed that the report of the probable .negotiation of a Turkish 5 per cent. loan in Paris, for four millions sterling, through some of the financial insttiutions lately organised, is not without foundation. The govern ment, it is said, are indisposed to promote it, but in return, a condition will be exacted, that the Sultan should bind himself unreservedly to consent to whatever terms of adjustment with Russia the Allied Powers may think proper to propose. FURTHER PARTICULARS.- VIENNA, Tuesday Evening.—" The defeat at Sinope was known at Constantinople on the 3rd, when great excitement prevailed. A Grand Divan was held, at which all the foreign Ministers were present. The English and French Ambassadors were urged to despatch the combined fleets into the Black . Sea ; but they had an an audience of the Sultan, at which it was resolved not to send the whole fleets at once, but four. frigates,. to obtain more precise information. There was, however, no doubt that the whole fleets would shortly enter the Black Sea. " The carnage at Sinope is described as immense. " On the Bth 4,000 men of Osten-Sacken's corps arrived at Jassy. IA division of the same corps had been sent to Redout Kaleh, in Asia. "A cordon was to be formed along the line of the Dniester. " It was believed that Persia had declared war against Turkey at the instigation of Russia, and that a combined Russian and Persian force would march on Erzeroum. • - The second edition of the Chronicle contains a telegraphic message, dated Vienna, Tuesday even ing, in the following terms:— 'VIENNA, TUESDAY EVENING, DEC. 3,—Advices from Bucharest of the 10th, state that the Russian squadron which destroyed the Turkish vessels at Sinope consisted of four ships of 120 guns, and four of 86 guns, commanded by Admiral Nachi mow. Admiral Cornilow arrived afterwards in the Adrian. Three Turkish ships were sunk ; the re mainder were burnt, as it was impossible to secure the prizes. The Russian ships were greatly damaged, and required many repairs to enable them to reach Sebastopol. 400 Turkish guns were sunk. The above is authentic. Entrenchments have been thrown up round Bu charest. A recommencement of hostilities is shortly expected on both banks of the Danube especially between Krajowa and Kalafat. General Osten-Sack - en, with 4,000 infantry, reached Jassy on the Bth inst. One-half of them proceeded southwards by forced marches." The Vienna Lloyd publishes the following:— " Advices from Constantinople, of the Ist De bomber, state that the Russian .fortress of Sofa, near Chekvetil, has been taken by the Turks; 400 Russian were killed, 200 escaped. " On the 17th November, 1,200 Russians landed on the same coast, but Selim Pacha forced them to return to their ships In this engagement the Russians lost 400 killed and one cannon. " The Turks have advanced to Alexandrinople, in Georgia. The Ost-Deutsche Post say :—" Near Fort St. Nicholas (ChekVetil), the Russians were repulsed in an attempt to land 18,000 men. Their retreat was attended with heavy loss. The Russian army was cut off from a retreat to Russia. The Mus• sulman population of Georgia had risen in arms for Turkey. " G-ounari, Redu-Kaleh, and Kislar were in the hands of the Turks." Riots have taken place in Galatz between the Wallachian militia and the Russian troops. A bat talion of the Wallachians refused to obey the or ders of a Rusisan general. The hope of a successful issue for the labours of the Conference on the affairs of the East rather di- minishes than increases, for it is asserted in the diplomatic circles that the idea of a new mediation came from Austria, and that no pledges has been given by the Emperor of Austria that he will take part.in active measures against Russia if the Czar should refuse to-subscribe to the views of the Con ference. This assertion is made positively by men who are likely to be well acquainted with the facts. The following also appeared in our Second Edition of Yesterday.
