POLICE ARRLEGILiIiiiId:

The Earl of DALHOUSIE, —My kris, as the business on 1
the paper has bore disposed of, I wish to draw your lord- '
ships' attention and that of her Majesty's government to a I
matter which deserves the earliest and most serious coon-
deratino. In the sreassal joy which pervaded this country
on Saturday on the reception of the royal bride elect, it is
painful to me that any circumstance should have occurred
(hiring the progress of the proomeiou which is deserving of
grave animadversion, but I cannot help thinking that from
what I ham mom in the papers such is the Cell% and having
Ailed for a period of sin years a position al IMO responsibi-
lity at the HowmoMes, I connive waif net enwarimited ;
in thawing the attention of your lordships to the LOW which ;
occurred on that occasion. So far sa the precancel
of the royal party occupied the ground with
which the administration of the ootropolitan
=eer eimeerned, from the Brie.klayere-Amm le Leedom.
e all west sinoothly—if I may use the espreasioss,
sternly as a marriage bell, but on passing over Loaders-
kidge, there was a scene of confusion, sod a delay atone
which ought not to have taken place. Doling that the

part of the City mtheeties, who were offered the sena-
tame of the metropolitee polies, bet who declined the aid
OM the vowed that they were able to perform all the ne- '
emery duties by their own polies force was proved
to be a grave mistake, which I hope will not occur again,
sad it ought met to have happened on Saturday, whoa the
people were doing their utmost in honour of the royal
party who were parsing through **streets of the metro- I
polls, and when the greatest joy prevailed among all I
etagere of her Majesty's loyal subject.. (Hear, hear )
The police of the City ought, upon an occa-
hoe of general joy as in the cases of disturbance, to be
sufficient to maintain public order and decorum.
I remember that some years ago there was a proposition
made to have only out police force over the whole of the
metropolis. (Hear, hear.) Circumatarces, however, arose
which prevented that beneficial arrangement from being
tarried oat, but I tied that the incident. of Saturday last
will convince the Seasesey of State for the Horns Depart-
ment of the necessity of having one police force for the
whole of this greet metropolis. and that no time will be lost
in his introducing a measure to parliament for the purpose of
amalgamating the two forces. I should mention that the
able tkinisisiower of the City Polioe has just died, sad that
there has sot buss sufficient time to animist his sseemser. It
may ben Mein opportunity to amalgamate the two fame. I
ask ne question upon the present 0001111i013, but I merely
.rollthe attention of your lordships to the lei:Mesta whisk
.ecestrred within the City of London on Saturday, and I hope
the whole of them will be taken Ode omelderetion. If they
an, I have little doubt that • morose will ha introduced to
prevent wok as sesames in future. (Hear.)

been Ineneht before the public for the first time, but
l bad been a spirit of iadepeodeees on the part
oltar(ttrecnsf London which had prevented its being dealt I
with bj perliament. Speaking for himself he thought it
would be desirable that there should be one police force over
the whale of the metropolis. (Hear, hear.)
The Earl of HARDWICKE did sot understand the noble II
earl to apply his
_marks to the people—(The Fart of Dal, I
Mon= Grtaialy not)—for the people from the BM to
the lad showed a most kind feeling towards the royal party.
No doubt they were all most anxious to pm at the royal
Prineem sad that Is a there was a greet pressure
from haled. It was well we that when • great body
ef people were est is motion there was no stopping them.
They broke through all restraiate, men the cavalry itself,
end he understood that es Saturday one horse hetonging to
the cavalry was so premed spin that it .44 lifted up. No
doubt this all arose from • loyal sad affectionate feeling is
the people, and hardly any 011504111 i of polies force could
bare preveetrel the pressure taking place, melees indeed
there bad boev more resintance used than soy of their lord-
ships would like to me ie this country on such an occasion.

improper condole le the people, but be attributed the

The Earl of HALM ESBURY thought that barriers
ought to be erected oe all great occasions of a crowd mu-
pasties together, bet he believed that on &Mar-
shy there were no barriers whatever in the City.
