MARYLEBONE VESTRY.

DEMAND ON THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX FOR THE
SUPPORT OF AN ADDITIONAL POLICE FORCE.-011 Sa-
turday, at the meeting of the Marylebone Vestry,
which was very fully attended by its members, consi-
derable interest was created on account of its being
known that some proceedings would be taken in re-
ference to the determination of the Government to
persist in their late demand on the parishes in the county
of Middlesex for the support of an additional police
force for the metropolis. The gallery was thronged, and
there were the churchwardens and authorities of several
other of the metropolitan parishes present during the
proceedings.
John Williams, Esq., M.P., having been called to the
chair,
Mr. FLOOD, the vestry clerk, read the following com-
munication from the St. Marylebone Parochial Commit-
tee on the subject :
" Parochial Committee-room, George-street,
Manchester-square, July 6, 1848.
"At a very numerous meeting of the Marylebone
parochial coramiLtee, present, Mr. Walters in the chair,
it was resolved unanimously—
" That this committee have heard with surprise and
indignation that an additional sum has been demanded
from this parish for the police force, after the vestry had
been led to expect that io additional sum would have
been required, and they feel that the mode of levying
this impost is most unjust and unequal, inasmuch as the
county of Middlesex is called upon by the increased
value of the rental prepared by the committee of justices,
and upon which the county police rates are levied, to
bear a much larger share of the expense than would be
the case if all the counties included in the metropolitan
police district were so assessed; unjust, because, as the
plea of the Minister for increasing the police force, and
thereby requiring larger funds for its support, is the
disturbed state o the country generally, the expense
consequent thereon ought therefore to be paid out of the
national funds.
"This committee most especially condemns the con-
duct of the Government in using the late outbreak as a
pretence for adding to the numbers of the metropolitan
police force, at a period of time when the rate-payers
are suffering under depressed trade, diminished pros-
pects, and unequal taxation.
" Extracted from the minutes,
" CHAS. BROTHERTON, Secretary.
"To the Hon. the Vestry of St. Marylebone."

Mr. GARNETT moved that this communication be en-
tered on the minutes ; and the motion, having been
seconded, was, after considerable discussio❑ (in which
Sir Benjami❑ Hall, Earl Manvers, Sir James Hamilton,
Lord Dudley Stuart, and other gentlemen took part),
agreed to.

Sir James Hamilton seconded the resolution.
Mr. GARNETT moved, as an amendment, " That a
committee be appointed to take into consideration the
breach of faith which the Government has committed,
by not acting up to the engagements contained in the
letters forwarded from the Home-office and the Police
commissioners, by which an expense of 6,1761. will be
entailed upon the parish beyond the sum which the Go-
vernment had positively stated would be required for the
maintenance of the police, payable in the year 1848, and
upon which assurance the rate for the year has been
made by the vestry. That the committee have power
to communicate with the other parishes in the county
of Middlesex, and adopt such measures, either by me-
morialising the Government or otherwise, as they may
think fit."
Several gentlemen baying spoken upon the question,
the amendment was ultimately adopted by a very large
majority, and the vestry separated, the debate on the
occupied the entire sitting.

it was actual starvation that was the cause of the
occurrence, and that she was on her way to Gree-

sooner out of her mouth than towels, little bags, and
pocket handkerchiefs, were quickly unfolded, and their
contents (the coarse but homely fare which the workers
had brought with them for their own dinners) were
poured into her lap; nor did their generosity end there,
for pockets were soon rummaged for stray coppers, and
Is. 6d. was collected for her behoof. The men then as-

PRINCE DEMIDOEF AND THE ENGLISH AT FLO-
RENCE.—This nobleman, who was amongst the most
distinguished of the foreign contributors to the relief
fund raised at Florence by the committee of English at
that city last year, for the Irish and Scotch sufferers by
famine, and who, on the occasion of the fete then given,
lent his villa, San Donato, and entertained nearly tw o
thousand visitors, has just been presented by the com-
mittee with a bust in marble, executed at Rome by Gib-
son, of her Majesty Queen Victoria, accompanied by a
letter expressive of their thanks, through Lord Vernoc.
ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL.—The East India Cotn-
pany, in addition to former grants, amounting to 1501.,
has liberally voted 50/. in aid of the funds of this insti-
tution. Lieutenant E. C. S. Williams, who came out
first at the recent Addiscombe examination, and re-
eived the Pollock medal, was wholly educated at the
Royal Naval School, from which he went direct to Ad-
discombe.
