In bar publication of Wednesday we offered some
remarks on the Csiminel Law, and she impossibility of
castling into effect the improvement Mr. Pus. has

ahead, made withuut considerable attention, of rather
without a regeneration, of our Police. To establish
the necessity of thi, suggestion, it is only necessary to
refer to some of the statemet,t4 made by Mr. COLO.
II lIS in his able and interesting work, " A Treatise on
the Police of the Metropolis." He states that there were,
in 1806, 3.000 receiving houses for stolen goods in
London,. and that the property purloined IN A LITTLI
WAT aMMitted to £700.000; that depredations nit a
larger scale are carried on—by those dating thieves;
and that in his Majesty's stores articles are stolen and
re-thild in the Public Boards three or four times.

Vari?us plans have been proposed for the adoption
of a metropolitan police. We think the mistake lies in
citeson-seribitt the establishment to the boundaries of
the city. Th 'ugh a systi m of police, efficaciously
opetating acc rding to the spirit of the system, were

By Dutch Mail we have received Sr. Petersburgh
Pceri to the 7th instant. They contain accounts tient'
the Itemian army on the banks of the Danube to- the
25. h *filmes. It is stated that the 'Mang of t! e siege
of Sqlhttia, instead of being attended with such diwtt.
trans circumatences as was detailed through the

medium of the German- Papers,- was carried into
effect-with appartntly little annoyance from the Int kisb
troops in that ganison, and the whole of the attillery
and baggage, it appears, reached their place of desti7
natiolLwithout any molestation. Beyond some partial
skirmishes, nu operations of importance have taken
place between the opposing armies. The severity
of the season has been mainly instrumental in this in-
action ; meanwhile the Russians are strongly fortifying
the espmed fortresses, and by additions of men and
materiel are preparing for opening another campaign
with vigour.

The Russian Admiral in the Black Sea has declared
the Bosphorus in a state of blockade, for all vessels who
may have contraband of War on board. Uhler
head is enumerated those articles u+uall y acknowledged
as such by the law of nations —The following are
extracts t

ST. PETERSDURGH, J•s. S.
ACCOUNTS FROM TOR ARMY, Dn. 24.

The raising of the siege of Allistria, which had been resolved
open for regains, that are well known, war carried into effect with
perfect Nieces*, and without the smallest lotion our part. Not
only all the heavy artillery, but the train and baggage reached the
place of destination without any obstacle. The whole that the
enemy attetnpred was but to fite a few shot from the fortress, and
he did out do any thing more to disturb us in our operations. At
present our troops have quietly taken vp their whiter quarters on
both sides of the Danube, and ate busied in preparation foe the
I approaching campaign. _ _ _

The chief object of our attend°n howeier, is the (pedant:ion of
those points which it is neceseary to put in a state of defence, In
use of an attack by the enertiy, and the perfect security of the
winter quarters. All the meaaures requisite for this purpose are
nearly completed; the fortifications of Varna and other important
points is quite !trashed, in order to be able in every case to make a
decisive resistance.
In Bulgaria the enemy attempted nothing before the sth (20th)
November, and only insignificant skirmishes took place between
the patroles; but on that day a diviaion of the Grand Visler's
army, coneibting of six thousand infantry and cavalry, appeared
opposite our out poets, near l!aravadi. The enemy remained tW
the 12th (24th), and seeing our garris.li quite prepared to receive
him, did not venture to snake a decisive attack, but retreated on
that day by the roads of Aida and &Mnia, vigorously pursued
fur ten vents by our troops, who took five hundred head of cattle.

The patrules and reconnoitering parties, that haoe been con-
stantly sent out lo search of the enemy, have never met with any
of his detachments In the vicinity of out troops.
Ou the Danube also, repeated attempts of the Turks have been
everywhere successfully opposed. and they have sustained coi sider.
abk losses. Ou the 14th (i6th) November a part of the garrison
of Giurgevo, consisting of three thousand foot. five hundred
cavalry, and eight cannon, attacked the right wing of the corps
of observation before that fortress, but was checked, touted, and
driven back into the fortress, by two reilments of Cossacks, under
Major General Sherow, who hastened to support the detachment.

A few days afterwards the /anima of Giurgevo made another
attack on the right wing of the detachment, but, was repulsed with
smell lutes on our part.

The horse artillery, which pursued the enemy, caused him great
loss by its well supported fire.

Ou the 20th Now. (2d Om) a troop of Turkhh pandours, which
defended the fort of Vartzesrob, had a skirmish with our outposts
near the withee of Sbldestes, was defeated, and repulsed with cues
sideruble loss.

The flotilla no the Danube, which observe the foams% of Sitarist
at the same time protects our passage at Hirsoes, where a sufficient
number of boats is building, and other necessaries collecting for the
passage over the Petersbargla Zeitons, Jim. G.

T e Calcutta John Bull to the 21st August has been

Co fir accepting a bill' of exchange drawn on an=

that bills of eachange were ant specified in the late un-
'uvular stamp regulation, and the Jury acquitted the
defendants. One or the Judges, Sir E. 11) an, differ! i
from the Chief Justice and Sir J. Franks, io maintaining
that bills of exchange were not included in the Act.
The Jury, of course, coincided in his view. This is the
second information against the same parties, and the
second acquittal, We extract the following paragraph,
announcing the melancholy death. of Captain Mttford,
formerly of Lirrerpool—."We are_ concerned to an
nounce a serious accident which occursed at Kedgeree
on Monday afternoon last, the 18th instant, by which
Captain Guy A. Mitford lost his life. The Clifton,
which vessel he commanded, arrived at the Kedgeree
from the Isle of Fraisce on the 16th, and there she re-
mained in want of a pilot—a very strange and inexpli-
cable thing to us. The Captain went on bo 4.1 the Sea
Horse pilot vessel's boar, se suppose to see the branch
pilot on the subject, and we are sorry to say that sl e
swamped, when all on board except the Captain were
saved. The body of Captain Miiford had not been dis
covered at the time pf writing this paragraph. Capt.
*fiord was formerly of the Gangehof Liverpool, and
will be much lameated." We are glad to observe that

tinis of Mindy, proceeding to Penang and China,
mention, that during the preceding two days, the Ei-
