PARIS, DECEMBER 4.  There is not, probably, in the whole world, a place which boasts so much of its Police as Paris; and these is not, probably, another City on earth where the Police is so badly regulated, as far as regards the state of the streets, and their cleanliness and comfort, both for foot passengers and horses and carriages. A Gentleman, who is just arrived from Paris, relates the following circumstance, which will serve as an illustration of the above remark, and of the total indifference and disregard of practices that, in other cities, would oall down the vengeance, as it onght, of all the- whole Police laws. Passing one afternoon through one of the greatest thoroughfares and most crowded streets of Paris,,the attention of ffie above Gentleman was directed to having the appearance of a servant, coming out of one of the gateways, with a large basket, which he conceived contained dirt or ashes, or the refuseof vegetables, w hich it is the common practice to throw out into the streets at all hours of the day and night, which, as well as large heaps of oyster-shells, sufficient to ()versa a carriage, are suffered to remain and take their chance. The man deliberately walked into the middle of the street, and to the Gentleman's surprise and astonishment, as deliberately emptied—not dirt or ashes, nor vegetables or oyster-shells—but a large quantity of broken glass battles Surprised at such a circumstance, the Gentleman waited a short time to see if such a strange matter would not call forth some observation from the neighbours or passengers in the street ; but seeing it regarded as quite a matter of course, the Gentleman being a stranger, and belonging to ANOTHER PARISH, be did nut choose to trouble his head about the business, but continued his walk.  The weather in Paris continues rainy and boisterous to a degree, but the climate is still remarkably mild. Nov. 30.—General Foy, the celebrated orator in the Cham)wer of Deputies, was buried yesterday. The crowds that assembled to witness his funeral was innumerably great. All Paris may be said to have been in motion on the occasion.  Yesterday, Mr. BOLLA ND handed round to his brother Barristers, at the London Sessions, a letter which he, as senior practitioner at the Sessions, had received from the LORD MAYOR, requesting him to notify to the Gentlemen of the Bar, that whenever their avocations brought them to the Old Bailey Sessions House, the table would be open to them all. This hospitable practice prevailed until about twenty years ago, when it was discontinued; and the custom of giving personal invitations to the Barristers alternately on different days, was substituted. This regulation will materiaJly increase the expenses of the Session, which fall upon the purses of his Lordship and the Sheriffs. The effeoa of the failure of Mr. SAMUEL WILLIAMS, is beginning to be severely felt in Birmingham and its neighbourhood, from a very heavy amount of bills drawn upon him, by parties unable themselves to pay them, and which are, consequently, in the hands of manufacturers, whose means to meet such a disappOistment arc in general totally inadequate. A dreadful monster, in human form—an assassin, who had no fewer than nine murders proved against him, besides numerous robberies, was late:y hung and quartered in the Ha vannah, alter nearly escaping con• dign punishment, through the protection he met with among persons of high rank and influence, by means of money, no doubt, which it was in his power to distribute among those on whom his sentence depended. He was condemned by the Courts three times, and as. often WAS he allowed to appeal; at length he was tried and condemned by a Court-martial, when his sentence was c..rried into execution. This is the way justice is administered in the Colonies still dependent on Spain. The uniform worn by the Consuls in the Levant combines, in a singul.r manner, the habits of Eastern and. Western nations; it is a long dress, withsa three-cornered hat, a bag wig, and an anchor un the button of the hat. For some weeks past persons have practised a method of injuring the horses which are left in the fields near Camberwell and Dulwich, by cutting eliff their manes sand Lath.
