TOWN COUNCIL-METROPOLITAN POLICE.

Yesterday then• was a meeting of the Council in the
Town-hall, the Mayor, Mr. Schofield, in the Chair. Be-
tween Aldermen and Common Councilmen there were forty-
eight members present. A very warm debate took place
on the introduction of the police into the borough. Mr.
Bloxland, a Common Councilman, exposed his arm, which
was actually livid from the blows received from the police,
while he was peaceably returning to his own house. Mr.
Muntz and several others expressed their disgust and ab-
horrence at such brutality. Mr Bloxland instanced other
cases where unoffending men were cruelly ill treated by
the police. A notice to the following effect was put on
the book:—" That at the next meeting of the Council a
Committee be appointed to inquire by whose orders an
armed force, not accountable to the Commander-in-Chief
of the town, unknown to our Constitution, un-Saxon and
un- English, repugnant alike to the Bill of Rights, the
rights of man, and social happiness of Englishmen, were
introduced into Birmingham, and who immediately, and
without the slightest notice, commenced an indiscriminate
massacre." A protest against there being continued here
is being numerously signed.
Tnere have been only two prisoners brought in during
last night, and the Rifle Guard has been removed from
the public office. Still, if you inquire is all danger over?
a significant nod of the head says No I If I were to
judge from the apparent peaceable surface which Birming-
ham presents, I would conclude that all danger for the
present is over. No doubt if the wisdom of the Legisla-
ture does not by some remedial and quick measures anti-
cipate the working of the present organization, the dies
ire will arrive much quicker than way be calculated.
Mr. Hartley will be examined this evening.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Frederick Syrett,
Robert Agar, and Wiliam Blake were indicted for steal-
ing- a shawl and other articles value 1001., bank-notes value
120/., 28 sovereigns, and other moneys, the property of
James Baptiste Reynauld, in his dwelling-house.
The proseeutor is a silk mercer residing in, Bond-street,
and the prisoner Syret was in his rervice in June last. The
is,,ner went out on the 2d of June, and on the prosecu-
tcr's return, in consequence of a communication he had re-
c( ived from his servant Ann Kelly, he was induced to go over
the house, which he found had been plundered of property
tG a large amount, and various places had been broken open
and money and plate purloined, besides pieces of lace, and
shawls of considerable value, and several articles of wear-
ing apparel. On the Sunday after two police officers pro-
duced several articles belonging to the prosecutor, and a
pair of black trousers belonging to the prosecutor were
found on the prisoner Syrett. Two police officers
described the manner in which they apprehended the
prisoners, in a house in which were found the goods
of the prosecutor, and also sundry housebreaking, imple-
ments.

The servant Kelly deposed to the fact of Syrett having
endeavoured to prevail_on her to leave the houses as he
wished to have two friends in to see him.

The landlady of the house where the prisoners were
found, described the taking of the house by Syret, and that
Agar applied for the key, soon after which a van of goods
arrived.

Elizabeth Gibbs, residing in New Bond-street, saw a
person resembling the prisoner Blake go into the prose-
cutor's house on the afternoon of the robbery.
The clerk at the Queen Square Police-office, deposed
as to the fact of certain statements which had been made
by the prisoners, but which were not considered of suffi-
cient importance to be signed either by the prisoners or
the Magistrates.
The statement of Syrett went to exonerate the other
prisoners.
The Jury acquitted Blake, and found Syrett and Agar
guilty.
The Court sentenced them to be transported for four-
teen years.

NEwmARKET, TUESDAY EIGHT.

The stormy state of the weather this morning had a marked
effeet on the attendance, which was defi6ent both in number
and fashion ; the rain ceased about an hour and a half befoie
the first race, but re-commenced just before starting for tile
July Stakes, and continued just long enough to disperse the
ring, and give the jockies wet jackets. Having given the re-
sults of the three events in an express sent from the Heath. we
have only to add a few particulars to the Handicap and July
Stakes. For the former Condor made the running, followed
by Mr. Goddard's colt and Egotist, All-fours and Minima lying
next them ; at. the corner of the Plantations All-fours went up
to the first three, and for a few yards it was a pretty race with
the four; All-fours, however, came out in style near the end,
and won cleverly by a length. Mr. Goddard's colt was a re-
spectable fourth, Minima fifth, and Lord Exeter's last. .
July Stakes.--After one false start the lot got away in (x-
-eellent order, Currency leading, with the Margaret colt at her
side, and Crucifix next, the others well up for a short time.;
Currency kept in front at a capital pace to the corner of the
plantations (about a hundred and fifty from home), where
Crucifix went up to the Duke's filly, left her in a fcw strides,
and won very easily by two lengths ; Currency second, Mar-
garet colt third, Palais Royal filly fourth (all placed), Cam-
byses and Petulance fifth and sixth, and Stamboul last.
