THE METROPOLITAN POLICE.

Fifteen years ago. the day police of New-York
consisted of two constables 10 each Ward, and
few marshals appointed BY the Mayor. For fur
Their security at night, there patrol composed
of citizens who followed their private Business
during the day. In 1874, the Legislature estab-
lished regular police, abolishing the old watch
depar sment The force was not to exceed 900
men, and was distributed among the several Wards
in proportion to the property interests to be pro-
tected Each Ward vas District and the Alder
man and Assistant had the nomination and the
Mayor the appointment of the number Of men
required. The Chief Of Police was ALEC appointed
BY the Mayor, by consent Of the Common Council
This is remembered as the golden age Of ambi dous
candid stes and political strikers. The temptation
to put oadshouldsred and reckless fellows on
the police, to uphold the cause Of the party ruling
the Wari, was irresistible, and orderly citizens
were often surprised and disguised to 6nd felODs,
just from the Peniten6Ary, and worse feons who
should have been there, duly armed with club and
commission, and set to protect perhaps the very
houses they had once robbed. The expense Of the
Department to the Treasury was at the same time
more than doubled, in consequence Of the large
addition Of men to the patrol
The unscrupuous manner in which some Of tie
Aldermen worked this vein of appointments and
removals for political advantage raised q great deal
Of opposition to the system. Toe term of Office
was practically dictated by the appointing power,
and its length generally depended upon the parti-
san zeal and efficiency Of the incumbent. In the
hope Of remedyng this and other evils, an act was
passed 10 1858 creating Board of Police Commits.
sioners composed Of the Mayor, the Recorder, and
the City Judge, who were charged with the sp-
pointment and oismissal for cause Of al members
Of the Police Department.; and the Same act con.
tnued the term Of Office Of pssrolmsn indefinitely,
or during good behaviour. This worked very well
for . while, and the character Of the

terrors Of most cruel laws, il not clear. But im.
prisonmsnt, chains, stripes, slavery, and death
it'elf, were not sufficient to quench the sanguine
confidence glowing in the impecunous bosom Of

that has been added to the national wealth ey the
improvements in machine ry and its multiplication

whole national debt Foreign commerce is vastly
greater than then, and internal commerce and

millions for which the Eoslish people are now re-
spon,ibe is re,ly less heavy burden, taking into
consideration the increase of population and wealth,
than the seventy .6ve millions of hundred years
ago. And, as We have seen the occasion OF the
disease, the cure is plain. The cessation or
III frequency of wars, the dminution OF the
armies of the Continental nations, from ne
cessity if not from principle, and the consequent
reduction Of her own establishments would alone
provide the means Of extinsuishiog the nstonal
debt of England in half a century.

The dresms in which some of our cotemporaries
have INDUCED themselves over the growing hber-
atty Of the Emperor Napoleon, and the benefits to
accrue therefrOm not Only to Italy but to France,
seem to be rapidly fading away. Not only is the
freeing the Italian soil from the hated and threat
enipg presence of the Austrians, which was held
out as the aim and certain result of the Italian
war, abandoned. the efforts of Napoleon to pre-
vent Central Italy from . union with Piedmont
exhibit him in the character of an enemy to italian
unity, and as anxious to leep the ltal ans in that
d.ionted condition which must ever leave them
at the mercy Of their stronger neighoors beyond
the Alps.

been INDUCED in of relaxstiOns at home in the
shape of greater freedom to the French periodical

might have received, the Emperor, a the journals
have now been officially informed, has no intent
whatever of relaxing the risor of that law.

ruler like Napoleon should ever tolerate anything
