WORDSWORTH, SOUTHEY, Professor WIL-
SON, De QUINCEY, and COLERIDGE, are the individuals
generally known as the " Poets of the Lakes," because
at one time, they all resided in the neighbourhood of
wick, and were constant companioas and bon vivants, as
far as related, at least, to three of them. They are now
separated, and, we believe,-li•eldom meet or correspond.
SountEr remains at Keswick.; Woanswormi, at Ryda
Mount ; Wtr.soli, at Edinburgh ; COLERIDGE,At
HSmp-
stead ; and the celebrated " Opium Eater" is gone to take
possession of a family estate in the neighbourhood of Ken-
dal, which has devolved to him by the death of his mo-
ther.— Cumberland Packet.

ARUNDEL.—The Commissioners of this
port having determined that the dues on the dollars (in
addition to which there was a quantity of gold in bars, the
whole being of the value of 270,0001.) which were lately
brought into Littlehampton harbour, should be exacted to
the extent allowed by the Act of Parliament, the full
amount was, in consequence, paid last Saturday, and the
package detained by the collector was delivered up. The
contractor for the conveyance of this gold and silver from
Portsmouth to London, will be the loser by the transac-
tion. With reference to the statement in our paragraph
of last week, that some pat t of the Arundel and Ports-
mouth Canal is now dry, it may be necessary to explain
that the water has been let out of the canal for the purpose
of deepening it.—Brighton Gazette.

THE MURDER AT DUBLIN.—The inquest
on THOMAS HANLON, so barbarously murdered by a body
of combined workmen, seven of whom are in custody,
was held before Sir Gxo. WHITEFORD, at Stephen's Hos-
pital, Dublin, on Saturday, when, after a lengthened ex-
amination, the Jury returned the following verdict :
" We find that the said THOMAS HANLON came by his
death in consequence of desperate wounds inflicted upon
his person by a number of men, at present unknown, who,
on Friday, the 18th instant, at Thomas-street, in the city
of Dublin, between the hours of six and seven o'clock in
the afternoon, did, with bludgeons and other weapons, at-
tack, and with most inhuman, barbarous, and premeditated.
violence, murder the said THOMAS HANLON."
CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL COM-
PANY.—BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. 21.—The case of JOHN
WEBSTER, (charged with obtaining money from various
persons on false pretences) was resumed yesterday at the
Public-office. Mr. HENRY B. RICHARDS, the autko•
rized agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company
was examined. He denied all knowledge of the prisoner ;
but admitted that, on the 11th of August, he entered into
an agreement with BENNETT, by whom WEBSTER was
employed, to provide him with a supply of men, from 16
to 45 fo►r exportation. On the 2d August, this agree-
ment was quashed in consequence of the non-performance
of it by BENNETT. The prisoner was committed on the
charge of defrauding BROKE and HOLDER of a guinea
each ; but is remanded on several additional charges, one
of which is the having received a guinea from an artisan,
after the death of his employer, BENNETT.

The improvement which we lately noticed as
having taken place in the trade of Paisley, still continues,
but it is still confined to the Thibet shawls and fine trim-
mings. All the weavers who had mountings, or were
able to purchase them for the latter kind of work are now
employed ; but there is still a number idle who do not
come under this description. This revival has been both
sudden and unexpected, but the best informed persons in
the trade do not expect it to continue long, which makes
the manufacturers backward in giving the weavers webs of
any considerable length, or money to assist in purchasing
mountings, consequently it is only the most respectable and
comfortable class of weavers that are yet employed. Of
all the kinds of work that have been manufactured in
Paisley for many years past, the trimmings are the most
beneficial to the inhabitants of the town generally. As
they have not been reduced in price to the same extent as
most other kinds, and they give employment to a great
many branches of trade besides the weavers, therefore a

of that town,esentstirw and we shall be happy

SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

Our readers will find in our columns the in-
structions for the New Police. They are termed

provisional, though, indeed, all regulations may
be said to be provisional, for no scheme can be

so contrived that experience shall not suggest
the expediency of some alteration or modifica

tion in it. We confess we like the instructions,
which, generally speaking, are characterized by
good sense and sagacity. No good will ever be
effected, either in Police or in any other business,
without the instrumentality of hope and fear.

Responsibility is not alone sufficient; for, if
the hope of advancement do not come to the aid
of it, the duty may be done, but done tallier
qualiter. In this scheme we find the motives
to good conduct abundantly held out. Two or
three years ago, when burglaries were exceed-
ingly common in the City of London, we sug-:
gested as essential in any good Institution of
police, a hierarchy, in which promotion shall be
open from the bottom to the top of the scale,
and in which the responsibility of each chief for
his division, and the subaltern for his subdivi-
sion, would ensure,'as far as possible, justice in
the various promotions. We are happy to find
that in this scheme the interest of the various

orders are made to harmonize, by making
it the interest of the superior to appoint the
best inferior, and the interest of the inferior to
lend himself to the views of his superior. k.We
have no doubt that the superior machinery of
the new police will soon force the city function.
aries to waive their privileges, and we shall thug
have uniformity of system throughout the whole
metropolitan district. At present only a part of
the district is occupied. That part is formo
into four divisions. To each division a police
company is assigned, and a smaller police com-
pany is attached to the office of the Commis-
sioners, to be applicable for general purposes.
The force for each division is considerable-
-1 Superintendent,
4 Inspectors,
16 Serjeantg,
144 Police Constables.
The plan of operations is founded on the
divi-
sion of labour. Each division is divided into

eight sections, each section into eight beats. In
the Outset it is very properly stated, that the ob-
ject to be attained is " the prevention of crime,"
and the test is certainly good. " When many
offences are committed, it must appear to the

Commissioners that the police is not properly
conducted in that division, and the absence of
crime will be considered the best proof of the
complete efficiency of the police. In a ditisio9
where this security and good order has beeii
effected, the officers and men belonging to it
may feel assured that such good conduct will be
noticed by rewards and promotion." The lowest
in thescale is the Police Constable, whose pay
is eighteen shillings a week, subject to certain
deductions for clothes and lodging. This sum
would, of course, on any scheme excluding pro-
motion, be utterly inadequate to secure good
conduct in London ; but on the present scheme
it will be better than a larger sum, because it
will supply a more forcible motive to the con-
stable to exert himself to attain that promotion
which is held out to him, as well as to earn.the
extraordinary rewards assignable to meritorious
conduct, as proved by the state of the spot
placed under him. In the army, the soldier is
assured of nothing but his pay and his pension
but then the duty of the soldier is mere force
and bravery. But the police constable has
difficult duty assigned to him. He is very pro-
perly told in these instructions, that " every police
constable in the force may hope to rise by . in-
telligence and good conduct to the superior sta-
tions; it is therefore recommended to each man

to endeavour by studying these instructions, and
by reflecting upon the nature of the duty he has
to perform, to qualify himself for such promotion.
But at the commencement he will most certainly
recommend himself to notice by a diligent dis-
charge of his own duties, and a strict obedience
to the commands of his superiors, recollecting,
that he who has been accustomed to submit to
discipline, will be considered best qualified to
enforce it hereafter." Responsibility commences
with this humble rank : " a particular portion of
the section is committed to his care ; he will
have previously received from his serjeant
card, with the names of the streets, &c. forming

his beat. He will be held responsible for th-e
security of the lives, the safety of all property,
of every person within his beat, and for the
preservation of the peace and general good order
of the whole, during the time he is on duty."—
" It is, likewise, indispensably necessary that he
should make himself perfectly acquainted with
all the parts of his beat or section—with the
streets, thoroughfares, courts, and houses. He
will be expected to possess a knowledge also of
the inhabitants of each house. It must be obvious
to him that he will be much assisted in the
performance of his duties by making himself
acquainted with all such particulars ; without
knowing them he cannot hope to be a really
efficient Police Officer, nor expect to rise in
the service." The Serjeant is responsible
for the general conduct and good order of
the nine men he has under him, so that to
promote his advancement he has the strongest
motive for conciliating their good-will and being
just towards them. The Inspector has under
turn four Serjeants and 36 men, and he again is
responsible for their general conduct and good
order ; and it is expected of him that he shall
make himself well acquainted with the talents
and general moral conduct of each individual.—
The Superintendent of the Division has a wide
range of duty, and consequently an exclusive
responsibility. "He is responsible generally for
every thing relating to the Police of his Division
(keeping in mind that the grand object is the
prevention of crime in every part of it)." Again,
it is said that, " in observing with especial atten-
tion the actions of all :suspected persons within
his Division, and in giving directions to his men
for that purpose, he will keep in mind, that the
prevention of crime, the great object of all their
exertions, will be best attained by making it evi-
' dent to all such that they are known and strictly
watched, and that certain detection will follow
any attempt they may make to commit the crime."
We have not the slightest doubt that if this plan
be strictly acted on,—punishment and promotion
regularly, and not capriciously adjudged, being
taken as the levers, the result must ere long be
beneficial. The thing is new in this country,
for we have no model in anything public of an
Institution founded on merit. The difficulties
they will have to struggle with in the outset
will be great no doubt, because all the old officers
whose interest was in time encouragement of crime,

endeavour thwarttoo,
