THE NEW POLICE BILL.

ST. MARTIN'S-IN.THE-FIELDS' MEETING.
(THIS DAY.)
. _. _ .

This morning a meeting of the inhabitants of the above
parish, assembled pursuant to a requisition numerously
signed, took place place in the Vestry-room, near the
Church, to take into consideration the measures now in
progress through Parliament relative to the Metropolitan
Police, as also thelbest means of obtaining an equitable ad-
justment with the Police Commissioners of their increased
demands for Police-rate, brought on solely by the opera-
tion of the New Assessment Act. Mr. WEST in the

Chair.
The following resolutions were proposed by Mr. R. S.
WILKES; and passed unanimously :
" That a petition be presented to the House of Lords,
praying their Lordships either to reject the Bill altogether
as an attack on the liberty of the subject, or to make such
modifications in its enactments as shall render it more conso-
nant to the rights and privileges of the inhabitants of the Me-
tropolitan Police districts. That the efficiency of the police
would not be impaired or its utility rendered less by allow-
ing parochial authorities a control over the force employed
in such parish—and a control equally over the funds which
they pay for the support of the police ; and that in conse-
quence of the operation of the New Assessment Act, the
valuation of the parish had been increased to an amount
exceeding 20,0001., upon which the police may demand
and receive poundage ; that under the circumstances they
had no right to such additional charge ; and that applica-
tion should be made to the Commissioners on the subject,
and also to the Secretary of State."
A petition founded upon the above was agreed to, and
the Marquis of Westminster was dominated to present it to
the House of Lords.

--- ------ ----- Thanks having been given to the Chairman the meeting
separated.

MEMOIRS OF HENRY GRATTAN, BY Ul5
Sox.—lndependent of the important interest attached to
these volumes, from their containing the secret corre-
spondence of various Viceroys of Ireland to their Cabinet
employers in England, and especially that of the Earl of
Buckinghamshire to Lord North, in which the peculiar
services of various parties are detailed ; another of the
most interesting features is the vivid manner in which the'
author throws off the characters of the principal person-
ages connected with the history of the period of which he
writes. Among these arc George 111 —Sir John Mar-
lay—his grandson, Chief Justice Marlay—Anthony Ma-
lone (Chancellor of Exchequer)—Dr. Lucas—Lord PPrY
—Sir Hercules Langrishe—Mr. Henry Flood—Jobn
Wilkes—Lord Chatham—Judge Kelly—Mr. Denis Daly
—Lord Chief Baron Burgh—Mr. Forster, Speaker of the
Irish House of Commons—Mr. John Forbes—Barry Y 44-
verton (Lord Avonmore)—Gervase Parker Bushe—Duke
of Leinster—Lord Charlemont—Mr. Scott ( Irish Attor-
ney- General)— Earl Buckinghamshire—. Sir Richard He-
ron—Lord Carlisle—Sir Samuel Bradsheet—Dr. Jebb—
Father O'Leary—Lord North—Mr. Eden—Duke of Port-
land—Mr. Burke—Mr. Fox—Mr. Fitzgibbon (Lord
Clare)— General Fitzpatrick— Lord Abingdon Mr.
Hardy—Lord Rockingham—Mr. Pitt. &c. &c. The
private correspondence between Mr. Grattan and his
friends, especially while a Templar in London, forms also
a most interesting portion of the volumes.
