(Sir N. NWANT.Sexamination, continued.)
It is not necess that a warrant issued by one Of-
fice should be con siened by the Magistrite of the
vi er
neighbouring offices before it can be executel within
Isis jurisdiction. hi different jurisdictions it is neces.
sary ; but in cases of atrocious felonies, every body
may take the offender by fence and carry him before
a Magistrate, and the effect is 'answered without a
warrant. Every Magistrate engaged in the Police is
included in the commission of the four counties sur-
rounding the Metropolis ; and a Magistrate belonging
to Any one of the Police Offices has power to issue a
warrant that Will run through those counties. In
point of fact, there'is no regular cordmunicetion kept
up between the Office in:Bow-greet and different parts
of the country; but where the country. Magistrates
wish to describe an offender who has escaped, or to
have any other aid, they write to the Magistrates in
Bow-street, who de all they can to promote the object..
The Police Offices make a report to the Secretary of
State every month : se many murders, and the names
of the parties; so many burglaries, and the name and
situation of the house in each district; so many lar-
cenies. as far as they have come to the knowledge of
the Office; and sn of other offences. This Report
comprises the whole of-the Counties of Middlesex and
Surrey. The return is made upon a broad sheet of
paper, upon which the offences are s-eparately speci-
fied ; the offences are named in the margin, and the
names of the parties aggrieved : and the number of
offenders, either discharged or coanitted, particu-
larly specified The Magistrates in different districts
meet once a fortnight or once a month ; and it is
asked, whether it would not be of great advantage
to have an account of the proceedings at such divi-
sion meetings transmitted to Bow-street, and -that
the Magistrates at Bow-street should comtnunicete
with the Magistrates at those meetings on subjects
of police ?—The answer is, that in general the ob-
jects before those division meetings of Magistrates in
the country aresuch as would not at all touch thegenerel
policy of the kingdom; the commitments for impor.
taint felonies of a whole county in a year may not
amount to '2O, and those upon matters chiefly local.
A report of common larcenies would be of flu effect :
if it was a highway robbery, or a burglary, or a mur-
der, it the parties suspected could be described, and
had escaped, such a communication might he useful:
in cases of consequence the Magistrates generally
have these communications. It any offence eriees in
a district, the Magistrates sometimes communicate
with the officers at Bew-streer, and sometimes with
the Sect etery of State. There are a great many let-1
ters come to die Secretary of State almost every post,
which Sir Nathaniel frequently sees ; but it there ir
lany thing important, perhaps Cie Nlegistrlte writes
to Bow street, giving a description of the offender,
and desiring that, if such a person is found, they may
have notice of it : perhaps thia has aim at the same
practical benefit as if an institution of the nature al-
luded to was established. There is a Gazette, in the
nature of a Hue and Cry Gazette, which is sent (gra-
tuitously) to all the Magistrates in the kingdom who
desire it, and to the Clerks of the Peace of the Coun.
ties, and Mayors and Functionaries of the great 1
Towns : it describes offenders, whose description has
been sent, from all parts of the kingdom, by advertise-
ment. There is an Editor of this Gazette appointed
by the Secretary of State : the present Editor is the
Chief Clerk in Bow-street. The Magistrates never see
it; but the Editor would throw out any matter that
lhe thetight exceptionable, and inspects the advettise-
ments that are tient, before their insertion. Money is
paid for the insertion of advertisements, but the profit
does not go to the Editor. He is paid £7O a-year as
Editor. The Printer charges for the printing, and
gives credit for the money received for advertisements,
and the bill, like any other tradesman's, is paid. The
balance of the account is paid out of the funds of the
Office, and is charged in the account of the Office.
The establishment at Bow-street has increased of
late years ' • the number of patrole, and of course the
expense : for malty years it cost about 412,000, and
now about £14,000, but that includes occasional
repairs.
There are three police clerks in thr establishment,
and an extra one occasionally. Some of them practise
as attornies, but Sir Nathaniel does not think that
they are induced to take the office of clerks from the
prospect it holds out of obtaining them business. In
point of fact, they may, in the office in Bow-street,
and in other offices, be frequently employed as actor-
nies by parties resorting to the office. It does not
occur to his recollection that the clerks at Bow-street
have at any time within his observation been so em-
ployed as attornies as to impede the public service in
any way. When he was at Marlborough-street, and
concerned in the conduct of that office, the clerk there
occasionally certainly had business that abstracted
him from the duties of his office in a certain degree;
at the same time he does not think the public service
was ever impeded for a moment: He thinks in gene-
ral, however, it would be better if they were not so
employed, but that sufficient salaries should be given
to induce intelligent men to fill these situations, who
would devote all their time to the duties of the offices'
and would' not devote any part of their time to other
business for private emolument.
Might it not happen, if a clerk was employed to
conduct the case of a prosecutor u an attorney, that
he might have an opportunity, if his views were to
harass the prisoner, which sometimes is the case, tisJ
afford an improper facility, by alike given to the
Magistrate to remand the prisoner for frequent en-
minationsi and

46 Have you ever had any instances before you, of
complaint to that effect ?--,Never the least ; I never
suffered a clerk to appear nominally as the informer,
or have any thing to do with the iote:.eses of the isi-
fotmer in any respect; he receives a fee, and that
not to his own pocket."
Sir Nathaniel does not think there are now ant •
jealousies in the officers belinging to the different
Offices against each other. At the beginninA of the
establishment one officer would do his own business . •
without communication, in order to prevent othert
from having. the credit or the profit, or :whatever it
might ;be, of detecting it ; but he thinks now that
jealousy k wholly over.
In inci;vidual cases, inconvenience must often have
happened from the want of immediate communicaa.
Lion between office and offices He has seen himeelf
• that such a communication would haee bees desirt-
ble at one part of the town, of an offence committed•
at another, because they would possibly hive disto:'
vered an important offender who was afterwiidt
(band to have escaped into that neighbottrhoticl.•—
That :night have been forwarded, if there ltaifbeen •
a daily report to a central office; and therg Mast
have happened particular instances in which; if everiy
police officer in London had known of a particular
offender being suspected to have committed a certain'
offence, he would have been taken, but for want of
such communication he escaped ; 'out it is not in one.
offence in twenty that the person is known who has
committed it. He has often thought that such coma
munication, but fix the expense attending it, would
have a beneficial effect. He has thought of recoil's.
mending, that one of the clerks of every office, at
three in the afternoon, emuld put upon paper a
Minute of important offences, and send it in the
penny-post to each office: it would reach the offices
in two hours, and would answer many useful purposes.
There is no sort of pre-eminence in street over
the other offices. Nothing can be mote distinct.---.
Every Magistrate aids and assists in the general ob-
ject, without the least idea of superiority or impor-
tance in one more than the other. He is not quite
sure that he did not feel his own importance at great
when he was an individual Magistrate at Marlbo-
roughstreet, as now that he is entitled the Chief
Magistrate in 13d r-tttnet, excepting that it brings
him more immediately within the confidence of his
Majesty's Government.
It has been matter of great satisfaction to the.
Magistrates at Bow-street, and he believes at all the
public offices, that other Magistrates should attend
with thefts. They look in as private friends, and as
County Magistrates, to communicate and confer with .
the Magistrates 'at this office upon matters which
have occurred in their neighbourhood ; many country
Magistrates also frequently look in Icr the same end.
The following printed paper was delivered in, and
read.:

Tyburn Ticket —To be Sold, a Tyburn Ticket, fdr the
parish of Ash, in the county of Surrey. Apply to A. B (post
paid), No. 17, Grangs.walk, BermOndstir square. 'I he purcaaser
of the above ticket will have the valuable Privilege of beiag ex,
cased st•rving any parish offices; and any person, although at
present chosen, by purchasing before they are sworn in, will be
squally excused.
Having stated in his former evidence, that it is not
at all a general practice that the police officers should
tare rewards from individuals, but that the Midgiu
trates always controul them whenever they can, and
recompense them from other funds ; he is uow asked,
what funds ate those to 'which he alluded ?—He
plies, that he charges thesis in the current accouni of •
the olfice to the Government. He has no power to
do that; but in the eiainieadon of the Ai-cotton', they
are generally allowed. They. do not amount, in the
course of the year, to a vety great suns. .

The disputes between the Ilussars in garrison at
Strasburg, and the National Guard, hare 'hod no
farther consequences, and were
_speedily suppressed

by the prudence of the Authntities. .
FRANKFORT, AUGUST to.

The number of strangers here increases in an ex.
traordinary degree. Many have be►u obliged to
drive to half a dozen hotels before they could fad
apartments. This influx well doubtless continue till
the opening of the Diet. Whcn this will be we can.
not now say, it is certain that every preparation for
the Sitting is entirely completed in the Paine of Tour
-and 'resit. It is also generally reported that the
Ministers will go there in procession. with a degree of
pomp suitable to the importance of the occasion.
Atiausr 16 —We now have iiiN more doubts of
the speedy opelong of the Diet. The Kiel; ►of Pius.
sia has appointed Baron Humboldt to be this Pleni.
pctenti iry.
We learn from Vienna, that Prince Stahremberg
is charged with a mission to the Quen of Etruria ;
and it is added, that-the affairs of die interesting
Princess will be speedily arranged. The Courts of
France, Spain, Nzples, and Rome, interest themselves
warmly in her behalf.
Am= 23:—.The King of Prussia has appoirted
Count Goltz, his Minister of State and Grand Mar.
shal of the Court, to be his Minister to the Diet of
the German Confederation. But as this Minister
cannot immediately repair to Frankfort, Lis Majesty
has appointed Baron Humboldt. who is no* her; to
act as Minister, till Count Gybe arrives.
Last week the mountain, called the Johannes Berg.
was given up to the Agents a his Highness Prince
Metternich. This is the mountain on which are the
vineyards that produce the celebrated vine. Bona-
parte had given it to Count Kellerman.
It is perhaps known to but few people, that there
lives still on the frontiers of Transylvania a Roman
Colony, which has preserved its language almost
pure, and is proud of its descent. When any Mem-
ber of this Colon• enlists into the Austrian set vice, he
answers to the usual question. Whence he comes
I am a Roman (Romanus sum).
. It is reported that the Emperor of Austria thinks
of marrying again : the Priacess Augusta, only
daughter of the King of Saxony. is even mentioned
as the object of his choice. It is probable that his
Majesty's talked of journey to Dresilin relates to
this object.
