REDUCTION AND ALTERATION IN THE ESTAB-
LISHMENT.

My Lords, in calling upon the heads of the other
Departments of his Majesty's Civil Government to enter
upon a revision of their respective establishments,
with a view to smell economical reductions as may ful-
fil the intentions of his Majesty, expressed in his an-
swers to the addresses of both Houses of Parliament,
think it right to state the principles upon wl.ict they
have proceeded, and the course they have followed in
the revision of the establishment of the Treasury tinder
their immediate direction.

They Imre thought that they should best carry into
execution the intentions expressed iu the Achlresses of
Parliament, by keeping in vies the following general
rules :--

Ist. That every office was to be restored to the situ-
ation, in respect to the number of persuns employed, and
of their respective emoluments, in which it stood in
1797, unless some adequate cause continued to exist
which rendered some alterations necessary.
2d. That where increase of business, or the more cor-
rect and effi..ient execution of the public service render-
ed it necessary to preserve establishments either created
or enlarged since 1797. the emolument• of the officers
composing those establishments should be assimilated,
as nearly as the change of circumstances would admit,
to those received by persons in similar situations in 1797.
ltd. That if any office existing in 1797 was found to be
no longer necessary to the, public service, or that its
emoluments might be properly reduced, such office
shoski be abolished or reduced in value, as the case
might admit.
Proceedings upon the foregoing rules, my Lords,
began by a careful comparison of the establishment of
the Treasury in 1797, and as it now exists ; and find-
ing that a very large increase had taken place both in
respect of the number of persons employed, and the
amount of their emolnmen's in so:ne parts of the office,
they directed a plan to be prepared of a new establish-
ment. in which no greater number of officers should i
be retained than was necessary for the execution of the
business of the Treasury in its present state, enlarged
as it has been by the incorporation of the whole busi-
ness of the Irish Treasury, as well as greatly increased
in other respects, and in which the emoluments of
each class of officers should be as semi,' assimilated to
those of corresponding situations in 1797, as the al-
teration of the circumstances of the office would fairly
admit.

Suc a plan having been prepared accordingly, and
approved by their Lordships, they have directed that
the new establishment shall be considered as taking
effect from the sth January next, and that every new
appointment or promotion which may take place from
that day, shall be considered as subject to the new re-
gulations.
_ _

111 order to introduce this new system as early as
may be practicable, yet with as little inconvenience
as possible to the iudividuals whose interests may be
affected, they have directed that every person whose
situation is not to be abolished, shall retain his pre-
sent emoluments (subject to such payment to the Su-
perannuated Fond as may be due therefrom), until by
promotion or allowance for length of service be shall
be entitled, under the new regulations, as a sulary at
least equal to that which be new possesses.

DUBLIN POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Sm. IS.

Hems Orricr.—A ma■ of the name of James
Murphy has been brought to this office, from the Bow-
street Police Office, London, in the custody of Peace-
Dicer Manly, under the following singular einem-
staaces:--Tlse prisoner bad been is the West Indies,
Iwhere he was sent as a deserter from the 2d Dragoons;
and when there, be coalessed that he had murdered a
man of the awe of Armstrong, for whose murder a
man of the name of Ryan had been executed at Mary-
borough. Is coasespence of this voluntary confes-
lanai he was sent to London, and from thence to the
Head Polies °See of this City. Yesterday he made
a second eonkosioa, falsifying tivi first, which, be
asserts, he made for the purpose of gutting home to
his native town, Trades; he declares his 111041410111C0.
of the' murder, and that be would bare known nothing
of the circumstances connected with it, but that he.
had been confined for tea months in the gaol of Mary-
borough, in the year 1818, for stealing a hat and
coat, and that he then bad the particulars of the murder
from Ryan. who had been since executed for it, and
+ who was at that time a prisoner with him in the gaol.
He further states, that be went by the name of James
1114Creaghan at that time. There is reason to believe that
the second confession is correct, and that his sole object
was to get back to his native country. He also declare•,
that although he bad deserted from the !d Dragoons,
be should not have been sent to the West Indies as a
deserter, as he ►ad afterwards served the fall time with
another Regiment, and subsequently got his discharge
front the 2d Dragoons.

The power-loom is about to be used, by way of ex-
periment, in the weaving of our staple fabrics of linen.

CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTCALLERS.ATI ;air.
oration was laid at Mary-le-bone Police-office, by --
Wise, a common informer, against Mr. J. Proctor,
landlord of the Queens' Mead, Paradise-street, Mary-
le-bone, charging him with having in his possession,
and using sixteen pewter pots, contrary to the statute,
they not having the Exchequer mark, 11 W. R." slr-
mounted by a crown, stamped on them as required.
The information wu laid under the 1 Ith sec. and Irell
chap. of one of the Acts of William 111., entitled an
Act fur ascertaining the measures fur retailing ale and
beer. The defendant, who in this case subjected him-
self to a penalty of 321. was attended by a solicitor,
who having discovered an informality in the inforuta-
, tier), it was quashed, upon which the informer pro-
ceeded to lay a fresh one.
DARING ATTAEK.--Betweei six and seven o'clock
es Monde, evening last. 'Watt, of Little Rats-
eel-etneet, Bloomsbury, shoemaker, was proceeding
across the fields from Dulwich to Camberwell, when
he was attacked by two men, one of whom knocked
him down, by a severe blow on the back part of the
head with a heavy bludgeon, and then jumped upon
his chest, and held him down, while the other rifled
his pockets of ten sovereigns, three 1/. Maidstone
notes, some loose silver, and a clasp knife. The vil-
lain not contented with the crime he had already com-
mitted, was proceeding to add to it that of murder, for,
having opened the knife be had taken from Mr. Spratt's
pocket, be seized him by the chin, and boating his
head against the ground with such violence as to
cause the blood to run from his month and ears,
tore down his neckcloth, and had placed the blade of
the knife close to Mr. Spratt's throat, and was in the
act of drawing it across, when the other, who it ap-
pears was less hardened than his confederate, fortu-
nately caught his arm just as the knife had perfora:ed
the skin of the neck, and wrenched it out of his band.
The wretch then seiz .d the bludgeon with which
Spratt bad been knocked down, and inflicted several
severe blows on Mr. Spratt's bead and body, and af-
terwards both of them assisted in throwing him into a
watery ditch close by, and made off. Mr. Spratt te-
mained in this dreadful situation a considerable time,
bleeding profusely, and probably would have perished,
had he not been discovered by some labouring won,
who immediately took him to a small cottage, which
was at a short distance from the spot, and where he
received proper assistance.
SINGCLAR ESCAPE OP A Cos:vim—Among the pas-
sengers who arrived in town on Thursday by the Bed-
ford Telegraph Coach, were five convicts, guarded by
the Governor of the prison of that town, and one of his
turnkeys, who rode with them in the hindermost part
of the vehicle. On its arrival at the end of Ayles-
bury-street, St. John-street, one of the convicts (under
sentence of transportation for fourteen years for utter-
ing forged notes) hastily alighted from the coach, and
with all speed proceeded up Compton-street, in the
direction of Doswell-street, leaving his companions
and guardians panic struck. A pursuit instantly
commenced, but the convict soon eluded it by turning
down one of the avenues leading towards Sutton-street,
and finally made his escape. What appears extraor-
dinary in this hasty retreat is, that be was with others
double ironed, through the links whereof a strong
chain passed, the extremities of which were fastened to
the coach, and the person appointed as his guard sat
by his side. lie is known to the London police; hence
there is great reason to believe that be will be cap-
tared, as a considerable reward is offered for his ap-
prehension. His name is Thomas Lewis, alias Ben
White. He is about 23 years of age, and by trade a
watch finisher.

HIGHGATE MCADER.—Since the last examination of
Barrett and his wife, before Dr. Owen, of Highgate,
every thing bas been done that was likely to lead to a
discovery of the mysterious affair. Persons have been
employed in dragging the various ponds about that
neighbourhood, it being thought probable that the
murderer might have thrown things therein in order
to prevent discovery•, but nothing was found. A man
named Murphy, who was before Dr. Owes on a reaent
occasion concerning the horrid affair, has been again
brought up, to account for some suspicions circum-
stances arising against him, in consequence of a shirt
found concealed which was supposed to belong to him,
but he disowned the shirt,and there being no arideue •
against *him he was discharged.
