LOLA MONTE AT THE INsrIrUTE.-The Countess o
Lansfeld, our readers will bear in mind, deliver
her lecture on "John Bull, this evening, at th,
Maryland Institute. Having lately looked over tn
course read by her some years ago in this country
| just published by Peterson, including brief auto
biography, we have no hesitation in pronouncin!
them piquant and entertaining. Lola is never stu
| pid whatever else may be laid to her charge, an,
we have very little doubt that "John Bull' will b
clearly shown up.
OPERA CoMIQUE.-The sale of the secured seat
of the French Opera Comique will be continued a
Willig's music store to-day. The seats in the par
| quette are yet to be disposed of.

METROPOLITAN Police FORCE FOR PHILADEL
PHIA.-We have before mentioned that there is a
present Police bill before the Pennsylvania Legis
ture, similar in its objects to the now under
consideration by the General Assembly of State
for the city of Baltimore. The Philadelphia Norl
American of yesterday has leader the subject
from which make the following extracts:
If there be anything which public sentiment is
decsively settled upon in regard to local affairs
it is that the police department should be entirely
removed from the influence of partisan politics. and
made an instrument exclusively for the custody OF
the public peace, and the protection of the rights
and property of the people, instead of machine
to aid in the carrying OF elections and to perform
sentiment is not confined to any class of citizens
1t pervades all classes and the expression of it be
comes constantly more and more vehement. =
We must have permanent non-partiZan police.
To put up at every biennial election of Mayor the
appointment of six hundred and fifty policemen as
prize to be contended for by horde of mere par
ty hacks to make these posts the reward of services
performed in precinct factions ward cabals, ia
render them all liable to be removed at the option
of single mau, elected perhaps without any refer
ence to this matter, and as likely to be of unsafe
Judgment in regard to personal qualifications as tC
be good judge, is a thing altogether too hazard
GUS to be longer continued.
1t is, therefore, indispensable to thorough re-
form of our local government, that the police
should be made a permanent body, not liable to bt
controlled by the fluctuations Of party politics. and
not to be affected by the election of any one man
Mayor. How can this be attained? The answer
| is ready all hands. 1t has been frequently
urged, and plans embodying it have been often pre-
sented. This is to make the appointment of police
men permanent one, so that he may hold offic
during good behavior, without finding it necessar,
to vote this that ticket and removable only afte
fair trial, on specific charges for misdemeanor o
| other offence. # :"
We submit that this state of things is utterly dis
| graceful to great and fourishing metropolis lik
Philadelphia, and the it is remedied the bet
| ter it must be for the people. After having per
mitted politicians to trife with our interests 81
long, we have right now to demand a change
1t marks an era in the growth of the town, and W
must have it. Hence we rejoice at the presenta
ton of the police bill in the State Legislature
and hope that it may speedily become law, as i
| meets with the approval of all independent men
| and will secure us a most desirable reform whicl
| can be accomplished in no other way If the LIE
gslature will but turn its attention away from tn
manufacture of useless insurance companies an
passenger railways, to such useful legislation n
this, it will receive the thanks of grateful com
munity.
