AND H. BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
nWlNG TO the late revolutions and counter re
~ voiutions among the nations of Europe,
which have followed each other in such quick sue
~cession, and Of which 'lhe end is not yet," the lead
ing periodicals of Great Britain have become, in
vested with a degree Of interest hitherto unknown.
hey occupy a middle ground between thei has,y,
disjointed and necessarily imperfect records Of the
newspapers, snd the elaborate and ponderous tFea~
tises to be furnished by the historian at a fu,ure'day.
Whoever reads these periodicals obtains a correct
and connected account Of all the important political
events of the old world, rs they occnr, aud learns
the various conclusions drawn from them BY the
leading spirits Of the age. The American Pub
lIshers therefore deem j, proper to call renewed a,>
tention to the works they repni5lish, and the very
low prices At which they are offered 10 subscribers.
The following is their list, viz:
The London Quarterly Reriem-The Edin
burgh Reuiew-Th North British Re
uieU-The Westminster Reuiew-
and Black,cood's Edinburgh Magazine.
In these periodicals are combined the views, mo.
derately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of
the three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and
Radical-Biackwood and the London Quarterly
are Tory; the Edinburg Review, Wing: and the
Westminster Review. Liberal The North British
Review owes its establishment to the last grea. &C.

From this table il appears that in the very first Con-
gras II the convention based their original apportion
ment upon anything like estimate OF the popu
aton there must have been at least ten
OF slaves, and that in the second Congress there

The following report OF the Chief OF Police has been
transmitted the Common countil, for five months,
ending the ALT Of March last
Herewith present TO you a report showing the con-
diion OF the Police Department rom the ist day OF
November 1S49 to the 3lst day Of March, 1850 from
which appears that during the period Of five months,
there have been thousand three hundred and nifty
two persons arrested for various offences oi TINS
number seven hundred and ffty-three were arrested
Tor felones besides those arrested ut the several dis
rct courts seventeen Of whom arrested for rape
and twenty two for robbery in the first degree There
have been eight hundred and seventy complaints
made to the Corporation Attorney, for violation OF
corporation ordinances 1t will be perceived that du-
ring the months of November and December, there
were twenty eight hundred and four and half days
lost by policemen by sickness, making an average Of
forty-six per day. During The months of January,
February and March there twenty mine hundred
and eighty days lost by policemen by sickness making
an avrrsie or ,h men pss aay DIsing .ns
and eightyseven and half days lot by policemen by
sickness, making an average Of thirty eight men per
day During the preceding six months ths services of
eight per day were lost to the department by
sickpess This improvement in the condition of the
depar has been brought about by the issued
by your Honor based the law passed Aprill1 1Si9
requiring the pay of all policemen whs sbse Mt
nom duty without leave TO DO deducted from the pay
roll unless they should prove to your Honor that their

order went into effect the 18th of January last nd
it will be by reference to the statistics furnish
ed that the amount Of time lost has diminished nearly
half since that time This truly gratifying
suit and sugurs well for the future efficiency OF the
department and If the order Is rgdly adhered to, it
may be anticipated that there win still be large
duction in the amount of time lost by sickness as
compared with previous months. During the period
of months there have been twenty -four thousand
and tw, eight persons accommodated with lodgings

The Cabinet Determined 30 Hold On.

terrible war is raging between the White
House, the wings, and the cabinet. The position
OF all the parties s not clearly defined but il is
pretty corclusvely established that the cabinet are
determined 10 hold on in their course as an ind-
visible unit, and 10 make The President appear as
nothing better than an isolated cipher. We mis-
lake the amiablc and kind hearted man at the head
OF the confederacy, if he permits the cabinet TO
all the lengths which they may desire, before they
come TO their dissolution, by the regular pro-
gTess of things. They may make il appear that the
President is with them, for them, and part Of
Them, in letters, and by their new newspaper, but
still we doubt if he will long continue to nom
nally uphold men who daily sacrificing i'm
and his original pledges Still, we hope they will
hold for some time 10 come. They very
useful for certain purposes, cause much amuse-
Ment, and furnish letter writers with rich topics.
The disafiecton of all classes, including the
Whg party, to the cabinet has been signally shown
h various ways. The wings have spoken through
fhe Republic, and last week expressed their dis
pleasure the cabinet; and the result is sale
OF that newspaper TO hessrs Meredith, Ewing IL
Co, by which Messrs. Bultt and Sargent, the edi-
TORS retire. TO give place TO the distinguished whig,
NJ he is termed by the abdicatng editors, who has
supported several persons for the Presidents chair,
and, among others, General Jackson. This move
pent is great one for the time, on the part of the
cabinet. They will now be in a condition TO make
themselves fat and saucy, and will make attempts,
how successful we shall see, to write the wings
into good behavior and respect for the. .adminisra-
ton
The valedictory of the editors Of the R<ps.biie
will be found in another column. II will be
read with great interest, and will be found full
OF meaning. We see in il the signs of fu-
tnre, that will renew, among the wings, the
nmes Of Captain Tyler. Our telegraphic and
special correspondence gives world of light, just
dawnibg upon affairs in Washington, and we are
delighted 10 be assured that we are 10 have more
fan yet ffom the cabinet. We are anxious TO see
how they will manage their cards in opposing Mr.
Clay's compromise, and in leaguing with the ultras
Of the North for admitting California alone. We
hope they will stick together till the fight is ended.
Meanwhile, we have plenty Of time TO wonder how
General Taylor, who came into Office, and was
supported chiefly by Southern votes will be able
W reconcile the action Of his administration with
The interests and desires Of the people, TO whom he
is pledged. The movement already is sufficiently
curious, and the result, we think, will be more
IL will he truly remarkable, and on very many
accounts Let us wait and watch.

RuMoEs ABOUT Mas. FoRREsT's larENuors.-
We Learn, from the best authority, that Chcvalier
Wikoii has no intercourse with Mira. Forrest, or
her friends, that all the reported negotiations Of
his, which have been proclaimed from time to time,
are found to be mere assumptions on his part-a
part Of that system which keeps him constantly
msddlng with other peoples business, and depryes
him Of attending To his own IL Is true, however,
that one Of the theatrical managers has offered
Mrs Forrest very handsome terms to appear upon
the siage, for which she l. 50 well calculated. She
is beautiful reader, has finer figure. a better
voice. and more spiritual countenancc than Mrs
kemble, and would, doubtless triumph ia the art.
All he inducements, however, all her own genius
for the stage, and her many accomplishments.
cannot persuade her 10 take this step. She has in
denantly refused TO accep, the proposition, and,
We hear, IL determined TO maintain her high posi-
ton as retired lady, despite Of the attacks which
have been made against her by Mr. Forrest aud
his friends. conscious that she will be triumphant
in the end, in sustaining herself against all the odds
that threaten her.
