RANKs.-We understand that the Commissioners
of the Metropolitan Police intend TO complete
the ranks Of the force by putting a number of
their female relatives on the pay lists. The
brothers, cousins and brothcr+in-law of the
Commissioners have done so well that il Is
thought now that woman's rights ought 10 be
considered, and at least one-third of the force
70 be appointed from the feminine gender In
Paris large number Of females are employed
in the police to examine baggage and for other

DECLINE or TIE ANTI-SLAvERY SENTIMENT
II is very evident from numerous indications
which meet the eye that q very decided decline
in the anti-slavery sentiment is taking place
throughout the Northern States. The Nat;ona,
E'o, an ant-slavery journal published at the
federal ceptal, not long since confessed that its
circulation had fallen of one half of late. IL
is well known at our Post Office that the anti
slavery organ of our country parts, the Weclly
Tribune, has lost quite as large share Of its
subscription list. This is also manifest from
the piteous appeal which IL makes TO liz friends
to come to it, aid and advertise in its columns
of balf price No journal doing a good bust
ness or with an increasing circulation would
show evidence Of such weakness In the knees az
this.
The late elections tell The same story in the
extraordinary diminution Of The anti-slayery
vote. The truth is that the people of the free
States, the agricultural, commercial aud manu-
featuring classes have grown tired of the anti
slavery humbug, and want to hear no more of
u. The late revulsion first diverted their
thoughts from the subject. And now the rcli
gious revivals, which have no anti slavery non
sense about them, are another evidence of the
disfsvor into which the niger feeling has
fallen among those pious and godly classes who
have been heretofore its sarmest friends In
two or three years. II is not unlikely that anti
slavery journalism in the North will have ex-
pired Of inanition.
