CITY POLICE.

51r. BROWN stated at the Meeting of the Inhabitants of St.
Bride's, on Friday, that the sum required to be raised by the City
Authorities was £41.853, and 656 watchmen and 53 beadles should
be employed, making a total of 709 men. The sum to be raised,
therefore, being divided by that number, would average to each man
£3s. a week, while the avetage to the new policemen was not more
than els. a week ; and that the same extent of ground in the City.
which took 709 men to watch, was done much l etter under the new
system by 500 of the new police; conartpiently it would be a graft
saving it some such plan was adopted then•.

THE FOG.—The dense fog of which we gave 'owe
account yesterday still continues to envelop us, iu and
about Cie metropolis, in a manner that it is hardly pos-
sible to walk any great distance without danger. We
have been informed of several narrow escapes, and mile
real avcidents. The greatest sufferers, we believe, are the
butclurs and cattle drivers. One of these, Mr. New-
s, A x, Acre-lane, Camberwell, Lai seven cattle and a flu( k
of sheep scattered ; and he knows not whe►e to lock loc
them.—One of his bullocks was ran over late Inst night
by Mr. N, WCO AI 13, of Ship-lane, landietti— the
animal having strayed into his grounds—who, this
morning restored
_him to the rightful owner on conditi..o
of being treated with a good rump steak. (las !iglits
and candles arc necessary for carrying on our in-door
operations.
