Sir 3.SHAw then stated his intention of support-
ing all discussions tending to abolish sinecures, and
declared, that he h-ad Plways concluded himself in
Parliament with a view to the general- interests of
the Empire, and' that while there he would be a free
man. With respell to Colonel M‘Mhhoia, he was
in his place that evening, but viewing the yue,iion
as an insulated one, and as being intended to give
the Prince Regent a slap on the face, he.did not
vote. He could not vote for sinecures, and he did
not vote the other way, and yet the Mover of tire
Resolutions had chosen to call his proceeding a fac-
tions one. As to the question .of the tight of pe-
titioning the Throne, petitions were received at the
Levee from every cou•nty in England, which was
the proper place, but since 1 775, he was sorry to
say very , factious proceediagi had -prevailed; dis-
graceful to the City of London, and which bad
lowered the Common Hall in the eyes of the pub-
lic'greatly.—(Hisses, and OF, os.,!)—Ht., was sorry
to seZ ,a few factious individuals didate to so re-
'sped able an Assembly, by raking together what they
called g, ievances, for she purpose ot inso;l ing the Go-
vernment of the country.—(Hisses, which continued
•
for some tim).—Sit: J. retired.. •
Mr. C. buNKIN would not have come forward,
only that he held up his hand asrain,t the Re,6-
lutions. He was starry to see the Lis cry disobey
the orders of General, 'and keep up such
_a
clamour,— (Hisses%) —lt was a disgrace to any body
of Arlen,' h,e (b.:tight, to pass such Resolutions.—
(Hisses, and oill-, ofT!)--Mr. D. Was compelled to
retire,

Alderman Wool) then came forward and observ.
t hat one of the papers having stated he ~hould
move an Address'to the Princess of Wales, he wish-
ed to state that it. was not in his poWer to bring it
forward' this day. He had called on the Lord
,Illayor on Saturday on - the. subjeet, who, on re-
in-ring to the Town Clerk, lvid told him there must
be another precept. Ile should therefore defer the
subjea. In bringing it forward (and he had an Ad-
dress in his pocket), he begged to- assure them that
he 'had not had any communication with any person
connected with the Princess of Wales ; his motive
was pure. attachment to the Royal Family, an at-
tachment which the city of London had strewn on
two occasions—on the marriage of the Princess,
and on the birth of her daughter. In the Addresses
then presented; they paid to her the greatest adora-
tion.: The Alderman was about to read extrads
from those Addresses, when •

Mr. Alderman ATKINS, to order, objeaed to the
proceediog, as the q=stion was or.e of pave and
great importance, to which the Livery was not now
dire led. He submitted, therefore, to the Livery,
as men of sense and of judgment, whether Mr:
Alderman Wood should he allowed to proceed.—
(4pplauses, and " No, no.")
The LORD MAYOR observed, that Mr. Alderman
Wood had wished to state his reasons for not bring-
ing the subjeet :forward this day. He had done so,
and beyond that could not go.

Mr. Alderman Woos then state,d*his„readiness,to
bring the subjeCt- forward on a future occasion. •

Mr. WA ITHMAN moved a vote of Thaoks (which
was agreed to) to the Lord Mayor, for the ability
and impartiality which he had displayed this day in
the Chair. With respeet to the condu& of Mr.
Alderman Wood, he considered, that in bringing
forward the subjea of th® Prince4s or Wales's situa-
tion, he ailed Rot only out of order, but in a manner
highly indiscreet. He would not support any mea-
sure withouj due consideration.

The Lotto MAYOR returned thanks for an honour
which he had not deserved. He had merely done
his duty, and wished the Livery had attended to his
advice at the onset, and in their proceedings been a
little less clamorous. •

Thanks were then voted to the Sheriffs.,
Mr. Sheriff BIRCH stated his intention of conti-
nuing in the line of conduct which he had.set out
with—impartially to do his duty, unmixed with any
political bias.

The MeAing, after Thanks were voted to the
Mover and Seconder, was dissolved.

POLICE COMMITTEE.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF TI4E HOUS!;

OF COMM() S

ON THE NIGHTLY WATCH AND I' 2LICE OF THE Y:

TROPOLIS.

The Committee anoointed to • vumne into t;)c
state of the Nightly Watch in the
the Parishes adjacent, and farther inlo the Bruit; of

the Police; and who were empow(JA to re-port
their Cbservarions from time to time to the House;
and to whom several Petitions of Licensed Victoal-
lers, Publicans, within the:- Cities of Lendon and
Westminster, and its errs irons were referred, nave
proceeded in pursuance, _to their instruaions, and
agreed upon the following. Report :
Your Committee first directed their inquiries t
the slate of the Niotly Watch. They were in-
duced to pttisue this course in their investigations,
as well from a desire to conforo, to the order in
which the several subje6s submiattd to their consi-
deration are classed by the House in the terms of
their appointmen as, from' conceiving this branch
of the subje6:l to be of itself of the highest import-
ince, and in consequence of late °cent rences, to be
pressed upon Ntheir attention with more urgency
than any other. '

Had they found the defeBs in this part of the
syStem of our Police'to have been such, at this mo-
ment, as tohaved&manded the immedia'te interpo-
sition of the Legislature, they would hate hastened
_to have made an -emir Report; but they had the sa-
tisfaelion..of observing, that the apprehensions which
had been excited had produced such a degree of ace
tivity and vigdince it, many parishes and di4triats,
and such a conviction that the tormir means of se-
curity were insufficient, that all'immediate alarms
on this head had been in a great me renioted.
In some Parishes, `tidied,- thezeal and energy of
the inhabitants appears to have been most ese it.
plary and meritorious k they have agrecd to take
upon themselves, iri rotation,, the duties of Superin-
tendants of the Nightly Watch, to visit and insped
tl-ie Watch. houseS, the Constables, Beadles, Pat roes,
and stationary Watchmen, so ,as to ensure the per-
petual ,vigilance: and adivity of every class of per-
sons on duty duiing the night, ‘s ithin their palish
and a system of the Nightly Watch, thus intro-
duced by the voluntary exertions of the Hviehold-
el's, has been so effeaual, that your Committee think
it necessary only to recommend such measures to be
,c-nfoteed by LegiF.lative enadment; as would give
anpi,i(ormity and permanency to such a system,
and" secure adivity by a constant superintendanco
and controi:t

Your C,,,,nininee finding, that, owing to these
and similar means Ofsecurity, no immediate. dangers
,were to bc apprehended, were desirous, indeed
.felt it to be their duty; toendeavout• to obt,in a more
detaikd ass :welias a more comprehensive view of
the vi;iiutis circumstances which influence and affect
the state, Of'rhe Metropolis a, to its Police, the wan-
ner in which its local are divided, the various
laws.appticable to such divisions, the various publ,c
bodies,, Of ir'dividuals, in whom powers are vested,
(or the purpose of waiching over and ilegulating the
.means. by which its security acid good order is to be
rnaiatained,.and the mode in .which such powers aro
executed.--With relefence to this view of the sub-
ject, the Metropolis may Lie considered as divided
into three parts :

The City of London, properly so caed, and the
Liberties thereof.

The City of Westminster, and the Liberties
thereof.

The several Parishes which are neither within the
City 'of Loudon and its Libertit:s, or the City of
Westminster and its Liberties.

Tile City of London. is governed by various n -
cient Ctlarters and Stwutes.. The Statute of 'he t 3th •
•ot Edward I. called Statutnnt Civilatis Limdon, is
one of the most ancient ; and as it is not to be found
in the ordinary editions of the Statute:s, your Com-
mittee have inserted it in the Appendix. But the
principal Aec.t of Parliament, which at this time ie-
gulate.s the Nightly Watch of the City of London,
is the to Geo. 1,1. c. 22.

By this ACt, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and
Common Council, are directed yearly to make re....
gulations on this subjeEt, and the •Aldermen and
Common Councilmen in each Ward, are to carry
these regulations into etieti,, and make such minor
reglations to details as they may judge necessary:
The A:A ~:;,..q!ifies the duties of the constables and
watchmen, and, prescribes the mode in which they
are to be punished for misconduel or neglect.
Your Committee have not failed to observe, that
the City of London, from the nature of its inagis-
tracy„.: the description of its various public officers,
the gra4ation and subordination of their various
classes; ..11e division and sob-division of its local
af‘tfotds an
..example of that unity, and of
that . depeadeoce of parts on each other, without
which .00, well constructed and efficioot system of
Police can eve; be expeOed.- If-such a system could
be successfully imitated in -Westminster and its
Liberties, and within the other adjacent Parishes
which have litthetto for Med an unconneEted mass
of scattered and uncontrolled local authorities,
considerable benefit might be expected to ensue;
for your CoMmittee are disposed to concur in opi-
nion with several of the witnesses, that a well ar-
ranged system. of superintendance, vigilance, and
COULEOUI, would tend more to the prevention of
crimes, by rendering it difficult to commit them,
than any degree of activity in the pursuit and con-
victim) of. criminals, after the crime has been come
mitred; at all events, however, the two systems are
not only not incompatible, but would necessarily
afford mutual aid and assistance to each other.
This system of Watch and Ward, adapted by the
Legislature to the City 01 London, is not a dead
letter, but is kept alive and in action by the con-
stant superintendance'of the Marshals of the City,
with their assistants, who every night visit the WI.
fereni wards and precincts, and take care that the
Constables, beadles, and watchmen of all descrip-
tions, are alert and do their duty. Morning re-
ports ate made to the Lord M,iyor, as Chief Ma-
gistrate ; deficiencies are noticed, as well as any
disorders or nregularitics, or other occurrences of
the.night.

In ancient times, when the liho`.e of the-Me.ra,
polls consisted of hide more 'ban the City of.Lop-
d. u (properly so called) such a syst.2m might have
been abundantly sutlic ent for its g ,od government
and security.

Tnr. Ctiy of Westru.nster, owing to its baying

never been incorporated, is not provided win the

seriTe means, and.ilie same gradations of its public

Officers, to ensure the unity and efficiency of its
), exertions tor the prevention of crimes, by-the same
system of controul and superintendance. 'But your
Committee have to observe, that by the-Statute of
the 27th of Elizabeth, presiding ano subordinate
Officers are appointed, and powers given to the
Dean and Chapter, and to -the High Steward and
others, to make regulations for_ the good govern-
ment of the City of Westminster. It appears that
Lord Burleigh was appointed the first High Stewatd,
and a code of regulations as introduced by him,
and a division of its trCal limits into twelve
Wards, for ,the purpose of a 'more perfed super-
in'endance.
The duties and superintendance of the High
Steward have fallen into great disuse, although very
important duties are imposed on him: It appears,-
however, that on great occasions of ceremony, he
has from time to time personally interfered, and put
himself at the head of the whole civil force of. the
City of Westminster, marshalling and arranging the'
subordinate Officers. The present High Steward,
the. Marquis of Buckingham, is Fated to have so
intorfered at the funerals of Lord Nelson and Mr.
Pitt.

The Statute of 14 Geo. 111. c. go. seems to have
superseded this system, and is of such pte-eminent
importance with reference to the subjea matter of
the present investigation, that your Committee have
inserted large extraas from it in the Appendix. It
is a local Aa, applicable to the City and Liberties of
Westminster, and certain other parishes therein
named; and with great detail, prescribes the duties
of constables, beadles, patroles and watchmen. It
is not founded upon the principle of 10 Geo. 11.
c. YQ. which relates to the City of London, and
which entrust to the Lord Mayor and others the
whole of the detai4.of the
.Nightly. Watch, as to
numbers, distribution, wages of the watchmen, and
oiler particulars ; but it limits the discretionary
powers of the different parochial Authorities, qnd
with the• most serupuletis MinuteneSs prescribes the
exaa manner in which the various descriptions of
persons employed mist discharge their duties, and
defines the smallest number which each parish is to
employ, and the lowest amount of wages to be paid.
It retails the manner in which miscondua and neg-
lett is to be punished, and meritorious exertions re-
warded. It is observable, that both these Statutes
refer to the ancient Statute of Watch and Ward, the
13th Edward I. and recognize the, principle; that
the proteaion of every distria is a compulsory duly
incumbent on the inhabitants; and therefore an ex-
press'clause is inserted in each of these Ass, to dis-
chlt,ge frpm this duty such inhabitant as shall con-
tribute to the Rate for defraying the expence of such
apd Ward.. Other parishes or hamlets are
s •
g6vrrned •by particular Acts of Parliament, autho-
rising the raising of rates for watching and lighting,
and vesting powers in certain Commissioners or
Vestries for carrying these purposes into effect ; but
in many cases, the execution of the law is extreme-
ly defective, and in some cases, the power of raising
money is inadequate; in others, the full amount is
not levied, the mode of watching generally bad, and
the men employed, both in number and ability,
wholly inefficient for the purpose.
In other parishes, there is no legitimate provision,
and upon the whole,, no uniform system prevails;
and neither the Magistracy, nor the Government,
have at present any connection whatever with the
state of the watch, and no 'controul or superintend-
ance ov. r it. •

ft would appear that this Statute of the 14 Geo.
111. c. 90. has been very little known, or very
loosely examined and' considered ; for many of the
witnesses whom, we have examined, and many of
the projects wthich have been submitted to our con-
sideratiun, suggest, as valuable improvements, the
very principles, and very details, which are en-
lur,ed by substantive enactment in this very statute.

The efficacy of Dr,JAmEs's Powder and Ana-
leptic Pills in tt.e Cure of Rheumatism, so remark-
ably exemplified lately in the case of a Gentleman
in Dublin, was completely established some years
ago '‘by two Gentlemen labouring under a similar
complaint, Mr. At thingtor, of Leeds, in Yorkshire,
and Mr. William B4rtou Borwick, of Gray's-inn,
London; who were recovered from the most de-
plorable state and lived many years afterwards in
peatect health; affording universally their testimo-
nies of t viitues of these Medicines. In sligiit
and recent attacks of 'Rheumatism the Analepiic
ill readily effed a cure, but in violent pa-
roxysms, attended with inflammation and fever,
the, Powder should be freely administered. They
are also equally excellent in gouty and bilious affec-
tions.

About four o'clock yesterday, a poor old woman, a
