taining exaggerated notions of the importance of a
Treasurer, and of the influence arising from actual pay-

discovery of the astounding fact that out of the 13,000
electors of Finsbury, two tradesmen in the employ of a
literary Society, to which I happen to he Treasurer,

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN
LORD NUGENT AND AIR. WILLIAM TOOKE.

6, Chandos-street, Cavendish-square,
December, 18, 1840.
Lord Nugent presents his compliments to Mr. Tooke,
and begs to know whether a letter which appeared if:
the Morning Chrenick of to-day, purporting to be ex-
tracted from the Morning Herald, and signed" William
Tooke," was, in reality, written or authorised by him.
Lord Nugent is induced to ask this question by the
having observed his own name coupled with statements
in that letter on which it may be necessary for him to
make some observations.

Mr. W. Tooke's compliments to Lord Nugent, and
basil() hesitation in admitting as having bee❑ written
him the letter with his signature, as it appeared in the
Morning Herald of the 17th inst. ; but, while making
such admission, Mr. Tooke begs leave to add that thy
letter was written under circumstances of considerable
irritation, arising from the scurrilous and unfounded c-
iumnies poured upon him by the press in consequence
of the resolution adverted to in that letter ; if, however,
he could have had more leisure for revision, he would
have pruned it of some sportive immaterial allusions,
which he regrets should have escaped him, and which,
before the receipt of Lord Nugent's note, he had
omitted in the inclosed reprint of that letter, subjoined
to Mr. Tooke's explanatory statement, addressed to
Mr. Mills.
The substantial facts, however, aro correct, and Ly
them, and them alone, Mr. Tooke abides.
12, Russell-square, 10th Dec., 1840.

tonal establisfmtent, it has in all these various capaci-
ties, public as well as private, been my practice on ab
occasions to give a preference of employment to trades-
men within the borough, and to cultivate with its inha-
bitants generally, sentiments of reciprocal attachment,
ounded on the best basis of reciprocal respect and con-
fidence ; is it. therefore to be wondered at, that having
,o acted for many years previous to the district acquir-
ing a representative privilege—and therefore with no in-
terested view to that object—l should after that event,
contemplate a practical expression in my favour of that
4:ood opinion from my neighbours, which it has been
he study of my life to conciliate and to deserve? On
-his point, I have the unfeigned satisfaction of adding,
that this first and only attempt ever made to impugn
my moral or political integrity, has emanated from one
whose praise I should deprecate, as conveying the se-
verest censure.
" Equally desirous with yourself of redeeming Finsbury
irom its present state of political degradation, I yet

'natty other valued and influential friends have done
the honour to sign, still hoping that some more eligible

,ponsible duty of substcntiAly representing, irrespective
of the comparatively petty purposes of party end of sect,

December 19, Chandos-strect.
Lord Nugent presents his compliments to Mr. Tooke.
The moment that Mr. Tooke, on consideration, sees
reason to regret the having introduced into his letter
any passages which he considers to be "immaterial," and
pronounces to be " sportive," Lord Nugent can on!)
put those passages at once out of question, and thank
Mr. Tooke for having withdrawn them.
When, however, Mr. Tooke states that " the sub-
stantial facts are correct," and that " by them he abides,"
Lord Nugent must beg to assure Mr. Tooke that, so
far as his (Lord Nugent's) name is concerned, they are
all erroneous.
The letter in question states that Lord Nugent bed
" rarely, if ever, met the Committee before." Lon d
Nugent begs to remind Mr. Tooke. that for several
years he has been afrequent attendant at the meet-
ings of the Committee, as the minutes of the Com-
mittee show ; and that he has. on more than one occa-
sion, had the pleasure y. meeting Mr. Tooke there.
Mr. Tooke is also misinformed respecting the resolu-
tion of the Committee of the Society, " on the supposed
use of its influence," having been carried by any " double
vote" of Lord Nugent's. The previous question
against entertaining the subject was, it is true, nega-I
tived (on an equality appearing of the votes of the
members present, of whom Lord Nugent was one) by
his casting vote as chairman. But the subsequent re-
solution, the resolution on the " supposed use of in-
fluence?' was passed by a majority of several votes.
Mr.Tooke says, in his letter to the Morning Herald,
that Lord Nugent was " not possessed of any-informa-
tion respecting the subject, except what he might have
derived from Mr. T. Dancomhe." Lord Migent begs
to assure Mr. Tooke that the information lie was pos-
sessed of was derived from a careful attention to the
former correspondence, and minutes, and rolution of
the Sub-Committee appointed in July lasv:,'"'to report
upon the case, which had been read in deVail by the
Secretary ; that he has had no communication with
Mr. Duncombe on the subject, and was noe;awaie that j
it was to come before the Committee till 'et was read j
in its due order.
He begs also to state that, ever since his return to
England, more than five years ago, he has been a "con-
tributing subscriber to the funds of the Society," when-
ever any subscription has been called for from any of
the inenilvers of the committee or Society.
Lord Nugent hopes that he is always ready to make
every due allowance for any letter written " under cir-
cumstances of irritation." But he must at the same
time say that, as no irritation had been provoked, or
intentional offence given by him, so he is bound to
correct, through the same channels in which they first
appeared, public imputations, which could not fail to
give an impression (not only concerning his conduct in
the chair of that meeting, but concerning that also of
the gentlemen who had placcd him there), as offensive
as it was undeserved.

ment of the paramount object of purifying the Repre-
sentation of Finsbury. With sentiments of unfeigned

• The subjoined letter alluded to we pub!ished on Fri-
day, but it is sadly mutilated. The " light allusions," as
Mr. Tooke playfully remarks, to paymasters, &c., arc alto-
gether omitted. Why, he can best tell.—F.D. SUN.
" I caused written notice to be given to the printer,
whose name appeared on the placard, that unless he gave
me up the name of his employer, I should conclude it tvar
done by order of Mr. T. Duncotabe ; to this notice and
repeated subsequent applications, no answer was returned ;
the only circumstance, therefore, which militates with the
obvious inference is, that the printer stated, that the job
iiad been actually paid for."

THE NEW ARRANGEMENTS OF

THE CITY POLICE.

The following letter of the City Police Commissioner
contains the suggestions adopted for the final arrange
merits of the force:—
City Police-office, Guildhall, Dec. 16, 1840.
Gentlemen,—Reverting to the various details I had the
honour to submit to the Sub-Committee on Monday last,
respecting the present strength of the police force, and the
charge of its maintenance for twelve months, ending on the
26th day of November last, it has occurred to me that it
might lie satisfactory to have the circumstances more
minutely given which call for its augmentation.
At the time the Court of Common Council resolved
that 500 fit and able men, and no more, should be appointed.
and should continue to he tl.e number of the force, until
the Court should otherwise order and determine, several
important localities had not been brought within the juris-
diction of the police, while the appropriate distributn.n of
the force, and its peculiar duties, required to be tested b)
txperience.
Apart from these considerations, and without regard to
any contingencies whatever, the number of men so voted
was adequate to the ordinary existing duties. But it is
my prestnt object to slow to the Committee that the
nurittler of men now required, having regard to the ex-
tended jurisdiction of the police, and its extraordinary du.
ties, %sill be 542, including the officers. This calculation
assumes the desirableness of maintaining the existing divi-
sions, sections, and beats, in which, I may add, all the
officers of the force concur.
The additional localities to which I allude arc London-
bridge and Blackfriars-btidge ; and the extraordinary du-
ties arise front the attendance of one inspector and twelve
constables at the Central Criminal Court, at monthly in-
tervals, for an aggregate period of 72 days ; and the uni-
form attendance of twelve constables, on Sunday night and
Monday, and of six constables on the Friday in ever
week, at Smithfield market ; while the average number of
constables daily absent from illness is not fewer than twelve.
t
hitherto the inadequacy of the force to this st :to othings has been partly met by the employment of super-
numeraries, and by extending the beats of the constables
on duty. Both these means of recruiting the force arc
obviously objectionable. The supernumeraries are per-
sons, for the most part,- ne, A
e-oageie in other occupations, and
not being sworn, or wearing the clothes of the force, elm!,
office; while the extension of beats, which devolves double
the obligations of the law,
duty upon the acting con and their obedience to the chief
stable, has been found a source
of great dissatisfaction to the inhatn. ants, as also a tempta-
tion and security to offenders. This irregular methoa of
supplying the deficiency is not unattended with expense,
as the supernumeraries are paid 194. per week.
It is to obviate this undesirable state of things that I
venture to submit to the Committee the augmentation of
the City police force to the extent enumerated in the fol-
lowing estimate ;

MR. WILIAM TOOKE.

The following letter has been sent to us with Mr.
Tooke's compliments :
" Letter addressed by Mr. NV. Tooke to Samuel Mi Is,
Eq., Russell-square, a Deputy• Lieutenant of the
Tower Hamlets, one of her Majesty's Justices of the
Peace for the Counties of Middlesex, Essex, Ilerts,
&c., and Chairman of her Majesty's Honourable Jus-
tices and Commissioners of Sewers of Finsbury, &c.
I hate when Vice can bolt her arguments,
And virtue has no tongue to check her pride.'-11/i/ion.
" DEAR Sue—Presuming on the long-continued in-
tercourse of friendship and good neighbourhood which
subsisted between us during many years, I venture to
address to you the plain unvarnished version of the ro-
mance recently fabricated against me for obvious pur-
poses, by which I have incurred the virtuous indignation
of both parties, the one forgetting the reform mission
to Ludlow, and the other the head-money paid for
signatures to requisitions in Southwark.
" For myself, happily placed in a position of entire
independence of both parties, and never having solicited
or received a single favour from either, but only done
my best to serve our common country, it was natural
that 1 should incur the hostility of those contending
only for its plunder. The vultures have for a moment
relaxed their mutual warfare to pounce upon poor me,
thus re-enacting the ancient fable of the viper and file.
" Several years ago I employed a bookbinder of the
name of Leighton, and paid him annual bills for binding
for my library. 1 had opportunity for recommending
him to the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Know-
ledge, and to another public institution, and a binder of
the name of Leighton was in consequence employed by
both ; it is now alleged that Mr. Duncombe's client is
not the one I actually employed, but his brother, or
partner, or successor ; I still believe him to be the same
person, but at all events he was employed on my re-
commendation.
" Mr. Coates, the Secretary to the Society, having
been six years in my office, and continuing in habits of
private and personal friendship with myself, 1 had fre-
quent interviews with him, quite irrespective of the So-
ciety's business ; at one of which, we conversed about
Finsbury, and I probably asked him to sound Mr.
Leighton, an old acquaintance, as I thought him, on the
subject of the requisition ; 1 heard no more of it, except
an observation from Mr. Coates that Mr. Leighton dis-
approved of my pretensions. Soon afterwards Mr.
Leighton's son called for a cheque for a bill of about
141., being the only business he had ever done for the
Society ; while filling up the cheque, 1 intimated that I
was sorry to fold that his father bad forgotten an old
friend, when the youth, instead of setting me right as to
the identity of his father, began a speech, which not hav-
ing leisure to attend to, I coolly, not contemptuously,
bowed him out, with some vague expression, that
hoped he might be better served by his present repre-
sentatives.
" Mr. riensliall, a very respectable Map Engraver,
was the only other person spoken to by- Mr. Coates, and
he instantly and cheerfully affixed his signature.
" Not one syllable of threat or promise, or induce-
ment, was held out to either ; the one as freely refused,
as the other acceded, and nothing ensued of vindictive
consequence to the one, or of advantage to the other.
"There arc but three other Electors in the employ of
the Society, who have each of them addressed a letter
to the Committee, stating, ,that although in the fre-
quent habits of attending me for payments and in-
structions, I never spoke to them on the subject of
Finsbury-, nor were they ever applied to directly or in-
directly r cegtc%ol,

THE STRATHROGIE

The Court of Session on Friday gave a final decision on
this case. It is somewhat complicated, and we ( Scots•
man) may therefore state here, in one word, that the effect
of yesterday's decision is simply to compel the Presb; tery
of Strathbogie to admit and receive Mr. Edwards as the
minister of Marnoch, in terms of his presentation. It
will be remembered that the Presbytery—that is, the seven
suspended ministers—some time ago took him on trial,
and found him duly qualified ; but they delayed his ad-
mission from time to time, in the hope of some amicable
settlement taking place between them and the Church, to
render this less of a hostile proceeding than it would
otherwise be. As this, however, seemed hopeless, and as
the Presbytery declined to take this decided step without
the direct injunction of the Civil Court, Mr. Edwaids
found it necessary to bring his present action ; and the re-
sult is, that the Court, by a majority of three to one, hove
granted a decree in his favour.
The following are extracts from the speeches of the
Judges on the occasion :
Lord Gillies, after going over the facts of the case, pro-
ceeded to say that the duty of the Court was perfectly
clear. The pursuer ( Mr. Edwards) had been found tin y
qualified, and had repeatedly applied to the Presbytery to
be admitted minister of the parish of Marnoch in terms of
tits presentation ; but they had always passed over his case
sub silentio. Nothing remained, therefore, for Mr. Ed-
wards to do but to bring the present action against the
Presbytery, to have them deccrncd and ordained forth-
with to admit and receive him. This conclusion was alto-
gether irresistible. It was merely telling the Presbytery
to do what the Court had previously declared they were
bound to do. It was merely an application of their
undoubted constitutional powers ; and if they refused
to grant it, it would just be in effect to say that they
had the power to tell people their duty, but that they had
no power to enforce it. Lord Gillies then proceeded
to express same doubt whether the minority of the
Presbytery ought to have been heard at all in this
case ; but having been heard, he must admit that their
arguments had made little impr, ssion upon bim. He
entirely concurred in the opinions contained in Lord
Cunrungharne's note respecting the powers of a majo-
rity of any corporation to overrule the minority ; acid
considered that the extreme cases which they bad
brdught forward for the purpose of proving a contrary
opinion did not by any means apply. His Lordship
next went on to examine the objection:, of the minority
of the Presbytery, first, to the pursuer's title to raise the
present action, and second, to the jurisdiction of the
Court to entertain the action ; in both of a hich
objections he thought they had entirely failed.
Tne title of the pursuer was recognised in former actions,
and if good then, nothing had happened to make it worse
now. It had been enacted in various Acts of Parliament,

to which he referred, that in the case of a presentee found

Government, which thasreby pledged itsnif to that of Great.
Britain fur the due and o,7aet compliance of the stipulations:
set forth.—( See the note ef the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, dated the 20th April, ,1836, to the /I.(inister Ple-

" I have already had the honour ta' observe that accord-
ing to said original agreement the whole sum due to' Bri-
tish euljects was to have been paid before the end of 1,5136..
On my return to this country in the beginning of Last
year, 1 found that by reason of the financial embarrass.-
meats occasioned by the French blockades, the Mexican
Government bad been unable to fulfil the stipulations it
had pledged itself to make good within the time specified,
and that a considerable sum was still due to the claimants.
About that time a treaty was made with the French Go-
vernment by which Mexico bound itself to pay within six
months the sums claimed by France under various denomi-
nations on behalf of its citizens. Her Mejeeay's Govern-
ment indulged :he hope that the claims of subjects
acknowledged to be just and valid, and of wlich pay-
ment had been solemnly promised long before t, would
have been discharged with equal promptitude, L tit faith-
ful to the maxims of moderation and friendship which
have uniformly characterised the proceedings of Great
Britain towards Mexico, no attempt was made to urge
immediate eettletrent of the British claims, relying t noon
the integrity and good faith of the Mexican Governm eat
for the punctual discharge of its engagements with as lit,'lo
delay as possible, the claimants receiving in the meantime-
a rate of interest very inferior to that which is customary
and usual in the country, and consequently suffering a pro-
portionate loss on the sums due to them. It is ,aeer my
unpleasant duty to lay before your Excellency the Conte
plaints which with signal justice the British Govermatent
ha; to n. ake in respect to this affair, arising from the nun..
fulfilment of its engegezients by the Mexican Government
and the little regard shown to the execution of its arrange-
ments as made with inc for the payment of a debt of such
a sacred character. Towards the end of the past
year some partial payments were obtained by the duties
receivable on importations made by the bout e ef
Manning and Marshall of this city, after which them,
remained more than a fourth part of the ,total
amount of claims unpaid. With a view to ensure p.
ment of this sum in the manner least embarrassing to tr. 'e
Government, I agreed with his Excellency the Minister cat
Finance, that from the duties payable by the Company oil
the United Mexican Mines the amount outstanding or
their claims should be paid by the local treasury of Guana-•
junto. Orders to this eff:ct were given, the 4th of last:
October, which were officially communicated to me the:
Bth of the same month. Nevertheless, upon learning that
the superior authuri ies of the department ulGuarnaSeato had'
manifested some discontent with this arrangement, I was:
induced again to consult the convenience of the Govern-
ment by consenting, that instead of the foregoing, an en-
signment of $17,000 should be made on the revenue known
as the Seventeen per Cent. Duties, then newly created by'
a special Act of Congress, with the positive understanding
that the remainder should he paid as agreed upon by the
local treasury of Guanajuato. New orders were accord-
ingly expedited to the authorities of that department, anti
your Excellency gave me the most positive assurances that;
they :could be scrupulously fulfilled. Up to the present,
it does not appear that one single dollar has been paid to
the United Mexican Company und r this arrangement;
while, at the same time, all the representations on this
subject which I have had the honour to melte to your Ex-
cellency, have had no other result than the intimation that
they had been forwarded to the. Minister of Finance.
Another in which I have a just and well-founded
came of complaint for the little regard vouchsafed to the
representations of this Embassy is, in that of the supplies
furnished by the British Vice-Consul of Tepic for the
maintenance of 47 British and American subjects, who arc
detained prisoners in that city. These unforturtatc mots
might have died of hunger had it not been for the gem-
roux interference of the Viet-Consul, Mr Barron, seliO,
from the day of their arrival in Topic, advanced to the
local authorities the money necessary for their daily sue-
sistence. It is true that an ord r was sent to the collector
of the department of Jalisco to see to the maintenance of
the above- meetioned pHs:wets, and to return to Mr. Bar-.
ron the money advanced by him for that object, nut of the
rece;fits of the internal customs of T. pie, but this ordet.
as I had the honour of proving tat your Excellency in my
note of the 3d of last month, was quite dluaury. inasmuch
as the proccede of the said custom-house ens ioutEcient
to meet the orders previously given upon it ; at the same
time I pointed out the propriety of paying this sum from
other sources. This representation passed unheeded, and
Mr. Barren, with the object of relieving the prisoners
from the sufferings inseparable from their want of support,.
and the misery arising from :heir unjust and illegal
has continue.' to furnish the funds for their
maintenance, and the sums due to him on this accooat
amounted at the end of the last month to upwards of
2000 deflate. I might also ref. r to many other costs
wherein the Btitish subjects hive sustained consider-
able losses, and wherein my representations have not
been received with the attention due to the agent of a na-
tion which has always shown itself in an eminent degree
friendly to thtt of Mexico. Neverthelete the two eases
now brought forward are quite sufficient to prove to your
Excellence that I have ample reason to be extremely dissa-
tisfied with the proceedings of your Government, as wilt
also be her Majesty's Government, nben acquainted with
all the proceedings of the case. It is true that I still err..
tertain, the well-founded hope that your Excellency, whose
zealous and earnest enthavours to promote the fiiendly in-
telligence which, fortunately, up to the present, has st-
ways existed beta cen the two countries, ate Hell knower tee
me, will be able to interpose your influence with the °their
departments of the Government, to the end that soy repro--
sentations may receive that cor.sidetation due to the British
Legetion. and in the hope that this state of affairs sill soots
be remedied, I am content to wait your Excellency's Roe
sever, announcing a satisfactory arrangement of existing
differences mentioned in this communication, until the boil--
ing of the next packet for England, which, if not by thou
complied with, I find it my duty to declare plainly to your
Excellency that I shall consider my nvssion as Sr mad in

dollars. If the entire payment of this sum has not been
earlier made, this doth not arise from any fault of the au•

like those of many others of the department, scarcely re-
