presses its hope of being re-appointed next ses-
sion, and of then bringing its inquiries to a close.
The report states that the Committee will, next
session, apply themselves, in the first instance,
to an examination of the expense of the
present police force. The Committee appears
to have had evidence before it upon the
subject of improving the administration of
the laws within the metropolis, and the esta-
blishment therein, " of a plan of police which
shall be exempt from the inconvenience which at
present results from the independent and uncon-
nected action of the several Police-offices and
the other Police establishments." This is a
subject, the importance of which can hardly be
exaggerated. It is one, too, we are happy to
say, ale public in general feel the necessity of
having inquired into. The popularity of the
work entitled " Old Bailey Experience," which
the pressure of Parliamentary and other tempo-
rary matter has prevented us hitherto doing jus-
tice to, is a strong proof of this fact. We have
hopes, therefore, that the labours of the Com-
mittee next Session will be productive of good
fruit, and not merely of a barren report, to be
added to the dusty piles of proceedings of Com-
mittees which cumber the records of the House—
records which might afford as fit a flooring for
the lobby as good intentions afford a fit pave-
ment for hell.

The Paris Papers of Sunday state that a
representation, signed by five Marshals of
France, was about to be addressed to Govern-
ment against Count BOURNIONT'S right to be
styled a French Marshal, he having refused to take
the oath of allegiance, as such, to Louis PHI-
LIPPE. The Cour Royale had given judgment
in the case of the Bank of France, and Messrs.
PEREGAUX and LAFITTE, which set aside the
decision of the Tribunal of Commerce, which
was in favour of the Bank.

Under the head " German Papers," our
readers will find an official document of con-
siderable importance, in which the Cabinet of
St. Petersburgh formally proclaims its right to
govern Poland, as it shall think fit, without
reference to the Treaty of Vienna, which,
however, it maintains has not, in the
slightest degree, been infringed on. The pro-
cess of logic by which this last argument is
supported, is curious, and illustrates, in a most
edifying manner, the spirit of finesse and
Jesuitism for which the Russian Cabinet has
always been so remarkable. But not only will
NICHOLAS legislate for Poland, after his own
peculiar fashion—that is to sly, by fine, confis-
cation, imprisonment, exile and massacre—but
he will allow of not the slightest interference on
the part of the other European powers. On
this point the document, though with marked
courtesy, expresses itself in the most unequivocal
and decided terms.

In another part of The Sun will be found an
article which we have copied from the Herald
of this morning, and in which our cotemporary
boasts with peculiar self-complacency of the ex-
clusive character of his late foreign intelligence.
This self-complacency would he more in ac-
cordance with good taste, were it grounded
upon a solid foundation. But such, unfortu-
nately, is not always the case. For instance,
in The Sun and Times (nay, even in the
Herald itself) as well as the other daily
Journals of Monday, the 19th, appeared
some account of the offensive and defensive
alliance which Russia had concluded with
the Porte for the space of eight years,
which account was extracted from the Allge-
meine Zeitung of the 12th. Now, our worthy
cotemporary, with a natural desire to set out his
exclusive" wares to the best advantage,
boasted—on Wednesday the 21st, just three
days after the information had become common
property—a theme for general discourse—that
it had gained exclusive possession of the above ac-
count, and accordingly published it with suitable
pomp, and much sounding of trumpets on that
day ! To be sure, a long letter from " Our
Foreign Correspondent," in which, inter alia,
the particulars of the Russian and Turkish alli-
ance were enumerated and commented on, did
appear in the Herald on Wednesday, the 21st;
but all the leading points of the treaty were pub-
lished (as we before said) in all the daily jour-
nals of Monday, the 19th. We should scarcely
have alluded to this circumstance, were not " the
exclusive character" of his foreign intelligence the
theme of our worthy cotemporary's constant pane-
gyric. He is a sort of newspaper Narcissus, deeply
smitten with love of his own " exclusive at-
tractions, and it is but just and proper that
his well-wishers should do their best to mode-
rate his inoffensive, but misguided self com-
placency.

SUN OFFICE, Halfipast Three.

We have this instant received an express
from Falmouth, bringing news from Lisbon
dated 17th August, that Lord RUSSELL has
presented his credentials as English Minister to
the Court of DONNA MARIA.

Further particulars will be given in our se-
cond edition.

Great interest, it is said, is making to obtain
the new appointments of Magistrates in the West India
Islands ; though the smallness of the salaries (3001. a year)
does not seem to hold out any very tempting allurement.
FRAME-WORK KNITTING.—The workmen
engaged in the glove trade waited upon their employers
on Monday to solicit an advance of wages, which was
agreed to.—Northampton Free Press.
The trade of the country is in a generally
good state ; but there are symptoms of an undue exten-
sion of the circulating medium. The first of these
symptoms is the rise in prices, and the extraordi-
nary spirit of speculation to which we have before
adverted, and which are now attracting roach atten-
tion from the London papers. And another symptom
of an excessive, and therefore depreciated currency,
is the fall of the exchanges, which are now so much
against us that coin and bullion are flowing out of the
country in a rapid stream. Not less than half a million
ounces of gold and silver have been entered for exporta-
tion within the present month. The Bank of England,
if it acts on its avowed principle, must correct this evil,
by contracting its issues. If it does so, prices will fall.
It behoves mercantile men, therefore, to be on their guard,
and not give way to the mania which is now raging in
the Liverpool cotton market and the London markets for
colonid produce.—Leeds Mercury.
FAMILY QUARRELS.—The Rev. W. S.
happened to call at a certain house, near to where he had
been brought up (at some distance from his present resi-
dence,) when the man and his wife had just got to the
climax of a severe difference. "Oh !" says the husband,
" if it were not for this stranger, I would have made a
pretty example of thee ;" too plainly indicating an inten-
tion of inflicting bodily chastisement upon his wife, when
the
Reverend humourist, very jocosely, but at the same
time with his usual seriousness, observed—" I beg you
will malts no STRANGER of me."—Kendal Chronicle.
