We have no further arrivals to announce, but the British
Market appears rather heavy, owing to a report that the
Government are going to increase the Army with 25,000

Government continue obstinate in their demands on the

A meeting of the Ward of Farrint,-,ulon Without took
place this day in tie New Court, Old Bailey, for the pur-
pose of petitioning Parliament against the Bill for extend-
ing the Metropolitan Police to the City of London.
At half-past twelve the Chair was taken by Alderman
HAnmeei, who stated that although labouring under
ill
health, he felt the importance cf the present question to
be so great, that he could nA without a dereliction of duty
absent himself. The measure of the Government appeared
to him of a very arbitrary character—( Hear, hear)—and
it created a great number of new offences, hitherto un-
known in the City cf London. The worthy Alderman
then referred to the various provisions of the proposed Act,
which he contended gave a very arbitrary power to the
police constables and inspectors, and which took away
the power of appeal, one of the greatest advantages
which the accused parties could possess. He then
referred to the report of Colonel Rowan for the year 1838,
for the purpose of showing that the number of burglaries,
Monies, and other offences, committed in the metropolitan
districts, was much greater than the number perpetrated in
the City of London. What seas proposed uy the Bill?
Why, that the Magistrates were hot to have the power of
control over a single police-officer : the Cummis:;ioners were
to send Iv bat number of police they pleased, to attend the
Mansion-house and Guildhall ; the Magistrates had nopower
to saytheta certain officer should execute a particularwarrant ;
who was to execute that warrant was left to he determined
by the superintendent. In what situation was that placing
the Magistrates of the city of London? He belietved the
whole intention of the Government was to lessen the Ma-
gisirates elected by the people.—( Cheers.) He bad been
told that the Deputation that had waited upon Lord John
Russell remonstrated with his Lordship on the measure,
stating that it would lower the Corporation of London
below any other Corporation, to which that Noble
Lord replied, that though other Corporations elected
their police, they did not their Magistrates; and lie
asked whether they were willing, on the part of the
City of London, to give up that power. Now, he (Mr
Alderman Harmer) thought that was a piece of insolence
the City of London ought not to bear.—(Hear, hear.)
If the present Bill passed into a law, instead of the Cor-
poration of London being the greatest in the kingdom, it
would become the contempt and ridicule of all other Cor-
porations. —( Hear, hear.)
Mr. FEARON wished to put two questions to the worthy
Alderman in the chair. He wished to point out the clause
in the Bill, which enacted that when persons were taken up
they should not have the power of appeal, and be also
wished to know what authority he had for stating that Lord
John Russell had made the statements which he had repre-
sented, as an insult to the city of London.
Mr. Alderman HARMER said his authority was several
gentlemen who bad attended the Deputation, added to
which were the statements of Mr. Stevens in the Court of
Common Council. As to the other question of Mr.
Fearon, he would only ask him to read the Bill and judge
for himself.—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. FEARON—He and the Alderman upon such a sub-
ject had but one object, and that was to arrive at the truth.
Would the Alderman point out any Clause in the Bill
which said that persons might be taken up, and being con-
victed, had no power of appeal.
Mr. Alderman HARMER—It was not in the Police Bill,
but in the Police Courts Bill, with the qualifications 1 •
stated.
Mr. FEARON—You stated these qualifications subse-
quently, and in consequence of any question. Those qua-
lifications arc very important, and should have been stated
honestly in an address to a mass of people, very few Of
whom had ever read the Bill.
The ALDERMAN was very glad that the question had been
asked. He wished to keep back nothing, for he thought it
made the matter worse.
Here there was a pause, which was interupted by
Mr. BECK, who said the friends of Lord John Russell
seemed very quiet, he would attempt to rouse them, and
would, therefore, more that that meeting should pass a vote
of censure upon the Ministry generally, and upon Lord
John Russell in particular.—(Applause.)
Mr. PONTIFEX—WiII Mr. Beck include in the motion a
vote of approbation to the Corporation.
Mr. BECK—No, no. I only wish to rouse you.
Mr. WELLS—Surely the requisitionists ought to pro-
ceed with the business for which they have called us to- ,
gether.—( Hear, bear.)
Sir JAMES WILLIAMS said he had been going another
way, but he felt something drawing him back, and there
he was to take part with his fellow-citizens in the present
struggle. He had seen the introduction of the nevi
police into the country with alarm, but his experience an a
Magistrate had shown him that, undea proper management'
the force might be, and was, a very useful one, One
part of the system, however, he had much objection
to—he could not bear the spy system—(Cheers)—and
disliked the police going about in plain clothes.—(AP'
plause.) In the country he thought, under proper control,
they were very useful. It was a very different thing, boil,'
ever, to bring the police force into the City.—(Hear./
The Corporation of London were representatives of the
great body of citizens at large, not for their own honour
only, but for the welfare of the inhabitants generally. He
believed the, present attempt was only a minor object,'
when once the door was opened further innovation;
would be attempted, until the whole power of the CO" •
poration was destroyed. Whatever legal opposition
could be given to the measure, he thought the citizen:
should adopt to prevent its being carried into effect. lbs
country generally looked up to the city of London egia
sort of polar star to guide them in the course they ,hotel
adopt, and he hoped a proper example would be set in the
present case. He wets not influenced by any spirit of I:
position to the Government, but he was anxious to see ,
rights and franchises of the citizens of London upheld ne
maintained.—( Cheers.) Sir James e-mcluded by moviego
a resolution to the effect that the best safeguard of tb
liberties and immunities of the people was Municipal Cori
porations, constituted on the principle of a popular elective
basis.
The resolution was seconded by Mr. BUTTERWORIt
who denounced the proposed measure as a bold atteeli
to deprive the Corporation of London of its rights and
privileges. If they had not very lately establishei
an etEctent body of: police in the City of London, Lord
J. Russell might have bald some ground for the present stet;
but he contended that under the present circumstances ..1t
was wholly uncalled for. There was a design on the
of the Government, to intro duce a system of centralizati.°o
all over the country, which would ultimately be destruco
to the liberties of Englishmen:.
Mr. FEARON wished to knob" whether there were ell
other resolutions of a similar te,idency to be proposed•-'
(OAh, oh, an
ENld aughter.)
CITIZ thought Mr. Fearon was quite out of order
in putting such a question. to
Mr. PONTIFEX considered it was the usual practice 0,
read a string of resolutions which we're intended to be Fr
posed.
Mr. Alderman HARMER said as a. ntatter of convenie.°2l:
it might be better to read the whole series of resolutt_lif
but it must rest with the discretion of the gentlemen "
had to move the resolutions.
The next resolutions were then read, which were tot t
effect—That the citizens of London viewed with efor
suspicion the introduction of a Bill by Mr. Fox Matile:i for
taking from them the management of tile police, attboat
creating a number of new offences, to be punished Wit 00
the intervention of a Jury, and without reference nos
established City Magistracy. That the citizons of Vigor
had for some hundreds of years enjoyed the sole tot
ment of their police, arid having well dischorgeu.„,ter
duty, there was no necessity for Government ,I"tbio
ference. That the citizens, therefore. oonsid ?re°
&belt
Bill as a wanton and arbitrary interference with old
long established rights ; an interference which "totili
be productive of no practical or beneficial resolis
and which was a flagrant and impolitic violation °edr
rights and charters of the City, never before attenibst
even under the worst of Governments.—(Cheers.)
tbs
the citizens deeply regretted the strong predilection cl;
part of the Ministry, for the introduction of a re' der
centralization which, however it might be fitted fertioe6
potic Governments, was utterly incompatible with tbo t the
of liberty which characterised Englishmen. And the boil
citizens were greatly surprised that a Ministry v° Via(
vested the new Municipal Corporations with the linoel
meta of their own police, should have attempted Wit bs
that privilege from the City of London, by whom 0)
been exercised with great public advantage.--(Checo
The first resolution was then put and carried
clamation.
Mr. WILLIAMS rose and was left speaking. gecollB
