BIRMINGHAM POLICE BILL.

BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY EVENING.
One of the most numerous meetings of the Town
Council which has been held since the incorporation of
this Borough took place at the Committee-room of the
Town-hall, to consider, amongst other measures, what
steps should be adopted in reference to the Bill now before
Parliament, the second reading of which is axed for Wed.
nesday (this evening), intitled " The B;rmingham Police
Bill." In the a'nence of the Mayor, W. Scholefield,
Esq., Mr. Alderman GAMMON was called to the chair.
[The publication of the report of the proceedings is
necessarily postponed; owing to the more than ordinary
demands to-day on our space. The Liberals in Birming-
ham, by this meeting, have given public expression to their
sense of injury, and have now proved to the Government
that they are not prepared silently to succumb to the in-
dignity inseparable from a withdrawal of the control of
their civil force from the Magistrates of their own munici-
pality.]
