INCREASE of LONDON

In consequence of some complaints having
been made OF an Increase in the force of the no
lice OF about one hundred and fifty men, the com
missioners caused an inquiry to be made into the
number OF additional houses which have been
erected IN me Immediate vicinity of the metropo-
lis since the establishment of the force when
from an official return just presented To the Co
Vernment, 1t appears that since the year 1899 no
less than lorty-hve thousand new houses, forminG
seven hundred and fifty new streets and SQUARES,
nave been erected, or are in the course of build
ing, In London and its suburbs. All extra duty
is thereby imposed on the police of havino 70
watch and walk over one hundred and len add;.
honai miles daily.-Evening paper.
This prodigious increase will be best compre-
hended by rejecting that three thousand two
hundred and fourteen houses fthe annual average
OF new buildings) would constitute town of no
very inconsIdeTable size and that, since the Pc
Rod in question:, fourteen such have sprung i'm
around us.1

We copy this gentleman's card from tho Globe
OF Saturday. This We should have done under
any circumstances; but we do it with the greater
Promptitude and pleasure from persuasion, oc-
Sasioned oy the card itself that we have done
him some injustice.
When we wrote the commentary which ac-
comPanled The publication Of Mr.. Ciay's letters
this DAY week, we certainly did under the i'm l.
preston that Kendall had obtanedHIs version of
Mr. Clay's letters from Mr. Blair hinselE, to
whom they were addressed. We did not al the
instant, advert the fact that Mr.. Clay had pro-
cured copies Of them from MIR. Blair-that these
copies were offered for general inspection in Ken
lucky, l6 or IL years ago, and that Kendall might
have got Gas he actually did) his version from the
Kentucky copy. In charging MIR. Blair, there
and thus violating the seal of private confidence,
we did him wrong, and it gives us pleasure thus.
without delay, 10 reiract the charge.
We now remember, too, or think we do, tina,
the Globc has given no countenance of late III
It ever did) to kendall's and Richie's charges of
oargain and corruption against MIR. Clay, and
has published nothing to support that foul and
audacious SANDER. 1t is, therefore, Duunpi-

IT. is Kendall and Richie, with their provin-
cia, understrappers] instead of Blair, Kendall
and kltche. MIR. Blair has personal reason to
know, that individually, We wish him prosperity
and he will, therefore, the more readily credit
our sincerity in congratulating him for not belong
Ing to such firm whose un,ring malgnity and
indispensable vndctiveness render them odious
TO every man of good feeling, and we know are
reprobated by many liberal gentlemen in their
own ranks.
1t is equally due to Mr.. Leigh and ourselves to
declare, that he had not the slightest knowledge
OF our commentary upon MIR. Clay's letters before
1t was published, nor probably, any idea that there
would be commentary at all.
Mr.. Leigh, no doubt fell into the mistake that
we did--!hat Kendall namely, had access to the
original letters In Mr.. Blair's possession and
thence procured his garbled edition.
