Yesterday the the strength of the Metropolitan Police
Force, as at present estiblisbed, was 'pin mustered, preparatory
to being placed no active duty, in Old Palace-yard. The greater
part of the day was consumed in drilling them, sod allotting their
clothing, which, in addition to the blue (rods coat and pantaloons,
is to consist of a uniform hat and short Wellington boou, provided by
the contractor, and to be also paid for by iostaloseats out et their pay.
The spot selected for their drill consists of a long strip of ground,
commencing from the yard in front of Westminster Hall, and
abodes on the Thames. The men entered it, under the orders of
their serpent*, by small divisiom at a time, and aftrr spending an
boor or so there, they were replaced by similar numbers,
who went through the exercise, which consisted principally
of marching and forming small squares. Great discontents
prevail amongst the subordinates, in consequence of what
they conceive to be the extreme rigour of the regula-
dine, and the onerous and unremitting duties imposed
upon them for what they designate an inconsiderate
and inadequate remuneration. Too heads of their alleged
grievances are several ; first, they complain of the complete
monopoly of their time both by day and night; second, their
not being permitted a momentary relaxation from one year's end
to the other, for even whew of duty they must be in a precise
spot, where, should soy emergency arise, they may be found on
the. instant ; and their third source of murmuring arises trout
being obliged at the outset to pay for their clothing. and their
being placed in a worse situation than many of their companions,
some of whom are pensioners from the Army► enjoying an addi-
tional inmost. Ihictoadng from 7s. per week and upwards, and

VISCOUNT COMBERMERE.

We have much pleasure in being able to state that the
CeWatley of the Ist Reg:asset of Life Guards. vacant by the death
of the Carl of Harrington. has been given to Viscount Comber.
mete. G.O B. The appointment could not be conferred on a
more distinguished Seer, or one who patsies in a more
eminent degree the esteem of the army. Of an ancient and
illustrious family, Sir Stapleton Cotton added to its lustre by
the brilliancy of his services at the head of the British cavalry in
all the Peninsular campaigns. In most of the glorious victories
which, after saving Ponugal and Spain. ultimately rescued the
Continent from the grasp of France. his gallantry greatly con-
tributed to the triumph, and not only gained him repeatedly
the thank, of Parliament. but the title of Wrest Combermere isn
1814, which in 1828 was raised to that of a Viscount. Since peace
has been restored in Europe, the services of the Noble Lord have
not been less active. ♦fter holding with great credit to himself the
high Ake of Cammander•in•Chiet in Ireland, be was appointed on
the 91st Dec. 1811. Commander of the Forces in the West Indic.,
where he served till the Bth Feb. 1821. On the 14th March. 1825,
he received the appointment of Cummaader•io.Chkf in as Nast
Indies, and personally commanded the army at the sanguinary
assault and brilliant capture of Bhunpore.tbe sewed impregnable
fortress, on the 19th of Jemmy, 18211. Among the many votes of
Parliamentary thanks with which this gallant Meer has been
honoured, we mien those which he received for his conduct at the
battle of Salaam", ass specimen of the eloquent manner in which
public gratitude used to be caromed during the war far public ser-
vices. They were delivered on the 9th of March, 1813, by the
Right Hon. Charles Abbott. Speaker of the Hoops of Commons :
" Lieut.-General Sir Stapleton Cotton,
" In this interval between the active seasons of war, your pro-
per sphere of duty is within these walls; and we hail, with pride
and pleases e, your return amongst us, bringing with you fresh marks
of
Royal favour, the just reward of fresh services and triumphs.
" Descended from a long line of wanton, whose names are re-
corded in the earliest ages of our history, and characterised with
those qualities of prudence. generosity. and valour. which have laid
the foundation of English greatness, your race has eautsited many
a model of that splendid worth which dignifies the gentlemen of
England—always prompt to discharge the laborious device of civil
life, and never slow to take up arms at the can of their country.
Such. in an eminent degree. was that venerated person iron% whom
you have immediately derived your own hereditary honours ;
dewed ►y his active virtues to the public men of his own times,
not unknown to some who still sit amongst us, and ever remem-
bered by myself wish the sincerest sentiments of respect and af.
fiction.

"But. Sir, when the path of early life lay open to your choice,
the then warlike state of the world called forth a congenial *putt.
and your military ardour led you to encounter the toil and dangers
of war in distant climates. Trained in the same camps, and ani-
mated by the same love of glory. as the Great Captain who now
commands our armies, and bib the world with his renown, you
have bravely followed his brilliant career. and *bared in his Utica•
misled triumph.. Renouncing the charms ut esse and the seat of
your ancestors, you have gallantly gone forth to the tented gelds of
Portugal and Spain; and, having reaped the harvest of our thanks
for your achievements in the battle of Talavera, you now stand
before us crowned wit► the never fading iamb of Salamanca;
your squadrons upon that memorable day, overthrowing the
enemy's embattled ranks, laid open the toad to victory; and the
work which your gallantry had commenced your triumphant per.
severance completed.
'• These heroic exploits have again entitled you to the public
gratitude; and I do now, in the time and by the command of
the Commons of Great liritrin and Ireland in earliament assem-
bled, deliver to you their unanimous thanks for your distinguished
/nation. in the battle of Salamanca, on the raid of July last, which
terminated in a glorious and decisive victory over the enemy'.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sept. 26.

Mr. AMP &Miran, of Hermitage-street, Wapping. was indicted
for assaulting Mrs Mary Roberts.
The prosecutris, a linntiogie dressed dame, about the middle
age, deposed, that she rented a home of the defendant inn Hermi-
tage-street, Wapping. About the beginning of Jaly last she mowed
the house, and went out, taking the key with her. Oa her return,
a few hours after, she found, on applying the key, that the door
was baked inside. She knocked, and after some time the door was
opiumd by a man. who, . after some difficulty, suffered her to pass
in. On entering her sitting.room, she found all her goods had,been
moved away out.of it. Shortly after, the defendant himself came
to the house. and seined her, as she was lying on the Sum In an
" insensible" state, and dragged her Into the yard and there left her.
Mr. C. Nature, who appeared for the.defeedest,.placed.o. let.

Mr. C. Pinuari said, the prompt/Is had obtained possession
of the premises by raise pretences, sad, it was seen found, MS CM.
dusting damn ip.such a manner as to feeder them an intolerable
nuisance to the whole' neighbourhood. On being remonstrated
with by the defendant, and an offer made of forgiving her the ar.
rears of rent if she would leave, she had the effrontery to say that
she meant to stop there asitsitg as she pleased, and that she did not
mean to pay is
.farthing rent. She akerwarda sent the following
letter to a friend of his : .
" Son—l understand Mr. Cameron is eo very considerate as to
offer to utmost* me from all charges of his house, provided I
give him possession. • Now really, Sir, this last act of hie Modems
has so overpowered use with gratitude, that I cannot have the

The Jury instantly acquitted the defendant.

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.

One of the most painful circumstances we ever re:-
corded, sod which bas sacked everywhere the deepest regret,
occurred at Knockitill. neat &claim:ban. betwist the night of Mon-
day and the morning of Tiesday, the 15th curtest. The present
occupant of the mansion-house at Knock6lll. is, comparatively
speaking, a stranger in Annandale. having arrived only a few week*
ago. His servants. however, had bees long in the place; and one of
them, it appears, had contracted an intimacy with a neighbour-
ing miller—a young man of the name of Thomas Net. Before
the beads of the family strived, access to the servants was sell-
Neatly easy ; and though a stricter discipline was adopted. after-
wards. the miller, on the unfortunate night alluded to. determined
to me his sweetheart at all hazards. With this view be repaired
to Knockbill at the hour of midnight, and reached the lower
story by stpseedng his body through the iron " stauschalls,"
though they scarcely seemed wide enough to admit a cat.—
The footman's apartment is right above the window by which
the other entered ; Tuesday was washing-day, when the maidens
required to be early astir, and while endeavouring to keg
himself awake over a book. that he might rouse them, as he bad
premised, at the hour appointed, be heard a noise and descended
the stair to ascertain the cause. By this time the noise bad waged,
and though he searched every where be found all right. Again he
returned to his room, and continued reading till near the hour of
one. He then went down stairs a second time, and when near the
bottom was astonished to see s man running quickly into the
laundry. without either coat, hat, or shoes. The footman
followed, traced the invader to a closet of the apartment
jitit named, and then called on him, as he valued his per-
haps) safety, to state who be was, and what he wanted.
To this question be received no answer. and his suspicions or the
man's intention were increased, when be found that the closet door
was made fast from within. As it was possible the man might bate
confederates, he proceeded to awaken a fellow.ureant and umber
persoo, a bell-burger, who happened to be sleeping in the house at
the time. His nest care was to procure his master's gun, which
was loaded with small shut, and armed with it. and
lowed by his companions, he repaired a wood time to
the laundry. The closet door was now unfastened, and,
an pushing it ajar. he beheld the same pens. making his
way through We window—a task of great difSculty from the dose.
new of the bars. Again he called on the intruder to give his name,
and explain what be was doing in such a place, at such an hour,
adding emphatically—" Speak, or I'U ere !" Still no answer
was returned. a most unfortunate circumstance, tor in a mo-
ment the fatal trigger was touched sod drawn. and the wag
tense youth mortally wounded. Almost sinsulameuusly, with
the report of the musket, be dropped from the window. feebly
ext'aiming—" Oh! the lasses," and in less than three mi-
mosa was a lifeless corpse.. The scene that followed was
theas,.snditig in the extreme. The deceased was far above
the character of a rubber, and his errand to KnockbW was to visit
a girl to whom be was attached. and about to be nhasied • and
thoegh he bad chosen a most unsuitable bour,and was farther blame-
able in Concealing his name, consternation was depleted in every
countenance, when the real circumstances of the ease were
ascertained, and the Lull erect of the calamity discovered.—
