FUNTHICIt REGULATIONS IN THE CITY POLICE.-

In consequence of the numerous rabbet ies which have ieeently
taken place ice the City, the Commissioner of Police has insti
toted an inquiry, which has resulted in a return of the different•
periods of the day in which such robberies_have taken place.
Most of them, it appears, have occurred during the time of
changing the men by "relief," open which occasion:it has
been the practice for the win to lease their beats, and march
to the stations of their several sections in files, the relief body
following to occupy the places of those who have thus quitted
duty. During this time the whole range of ground has beers
left, and thieves, seeing the opportunity, have burglari,uslv-eu.
tered die premises, and cseaped s his the it booty. To ohs iate
this evil, Superintendent Tarry, of the Ist ,(or 111 our-lane)
division of the City, hat received instructions to adopt the fol-
lowing. plan, prior to being guneralls practised, if it is found
to work' well, which we understand it has done up to the pre.
sent time:—lnstead of the men being callected and taken to
the station of the district,-as heretofore, the men to be relieved
is furnished with a ticket b i the relief-constable, who•receiree •
it from the superintendent at muster. This he gives to the
relieving-constable, who returns it immediately to the officer
on duty at the station, wh.i rect Ives it as the discharge of the
eanstasle from duty. By this simple, and, 55 it appears•tet us,
effective airangeinrot, the whole grcuricl is sneered, so that
when the full system is in operation, no part of the public pr.i-
perty will at any time be left. unprotcated. The relief will ita
future, we are informed, be granted only tiaret times in twenty.
four hours— at eight o'clock in-the morning, four in the after-
noon, and at midnight.
FocYr RACES AT LEWIsILIZ.I.—Two vow well con-
tested foot-races took place yesterday mar the eight-teneastooe,
at Lewisham, and gave c,ns!dcritils satisfaction to a very
numerous assemblage of the patrons and admirers of pedestrian
performances. The first, winch was to determine a race before
disputed, was 1 ettveen Goldsmith, of Greenwich. and Beals.
of the West-end---`250 yards, for 201. a side. Both men started
well together on the signal being given, and for the first dozen
yards there was no Iced taken by either party. Banks then
went gradually away from his opponent, and. after a race its
which first-rate speed was exhibited, won by three yards. The
second match_ was between Parr and Perch, two men who con..
tended about a fortnight ago, when a close and doubtful race
was the result, which was succeeded by arrana'ernstits for the
match of yesterday. The distance was laO yards, the stake bl.
a side. A good start, and a smart struggle followed. They
were together the whole way, and Perch won by hall a yard.

Woor,wrcti. JAN. 11.—Letters have been reeeired
here by the mail which arrived on Thesday from Herren& con-
veying the intelligence of the entire subsidence of the fever
there, and of the return to Halifax, Nova Scotia, of the medi-
cal officers end gentlemen who had kindly tendered their pro-
fessional services and attentions to the sick and dying during
the recent fatal epidemic. Until this information had beets
furnished, no more troops were to be seut to that region ;
now that the group of blends has been declared to be free of
the fever, reinforcements will shortly be sent out to till up the .
deficiencies occasioned by the mortality of the disease. The
Widows and orphans of the non-commissioned officers and Meta
of the Royal Artillery and Royal Sap: ers and Miners, arrived
at s outhampton, in the Clyde mail-steemer, and reached
Woolwich yesterday evening in a waggon. There are nlae,
women and about forty children of the two companies of *no
two corps ut Bermuda thus thrown on the world, without pre-
teetion and support. The sight was a vary melancholy
and excited the deepest
_sympathy. It is consolatory to know
that the Royal Sat pers and Miners in coned ration of thia
deep diatrrs4 to %thick the widows arilorphan( of thine whoa.,
served in their corps, have been reduced, here entered into a
subscription for their relief, Ind, being aided by their officers,
belonging to the Royal Engineers, the contribution, whieb is
still increasing, already amounts to a sum which refl.tets the
highest credit on their liberality.

LOUIS PIIILIPPE'S.MEMOILY.—On Captain Crowdy,
R.N., being presented to his Majesty at the reception at the -
Tuileries, on Friday last, the King did the gallant Officer the" -
honour to say that he always saw with satisfaction a Captain--
of the British navy ; Captain Crowdy, in acknowledging the
compliment, reminded his Royal interlocutor that he had had-
the honour of conversing with his Majesty on board the Volon►
taire frigates in the Mediterranean, in 1808. " Ali said the
King," you were First-Lieutenant of the Filet,CaptainWaltinle,

. . .
How is my old shipmate, Admiral Sir Charles Bu len ? I ' s,
hoi.e he is well." 'I his is an instance of emreetneas of memory
really remarkable, considering the length of time that has tided
elapsed (nearly 40 years), and the momentous events which
have subsegNently marked his Majesty's eareer, so strongly -
calculated to obliterate minor circumstances from the mind.— --

TIIE A!,IIIIURTON TREATY.L—TIie cotL effects Of
the Ashburton Treaty are manifesting themselves every day, .
in the bringing to justice offenders who flee to the ttaites,C.;:,
States, or limn the United States to Great Britain and her
colonies. The Kinvetcm (Canada) Chronicle last received
furnishes a fresh instance. A murderer (says that paper) has
been at large !or eighteen months in the vicinity of this town,
who under tl.e:treaty has been arrested, and is at last likely
to meet the punishment due to his crime. It appears that some
Ihrce weeks ago the Ann rican Government applied, througb
the British Alinister at Washington, for the arrest e,f a map
named Denniston Beige's, who murdered his wife about le!,
months ago, at Cooperstown, New York. His Excellency the
Governor-General caused immediate uctions to beo given
to our energetic Sheriff, who lest no time in seeking, out the
accused. Ile was found on Saturday, about '23 'aides from
town, and in five houi s afterwards was safely lodged inn Kingston
gaol. On Ai onday morning the Sherd communiciated the Inc
to the Government, and received orders the same day to ha
him over to the American authoritise, which wa.t; done acco
ingly. It is worthy of remark, that this mants arrest
tirely owing to the activity displayed by the :Sheriff, a
accused's brother arrived here on the day of his arres t
tmrposenf putting him on the alert.—New Pak Co
