This comparatively small force watches, by day and by night, every alley, street, and square, of the vast metropolis <f two millions five hundred thou- sand inhabitants; tries every accessible door and window of its four hundred thousand houses; exercises its surveillance over its eight thousand thieves, and keeps in awe its fitty thousand people of the ‘ uneasy classes ”” The city proper embraces about one hun dred square mtles The whole metropolitan police district is thirty miles in diameter, and embraces over seven hundred square miles. This wide extent of ground is districted into eighteen divisions, designated by the letters of the alphabet; each division i separated into subdivisions, the subdivisions into sections, and, last of all, the sections into beats. Of the main divisions, A, although one of the smallest in area, is far the most important : it is the seat of the central authority, or head- quarters. Its police are much finer men, and toeir duties are more responsible than those of any other division. They attend upon the sovereign, the Parliament, the theatres, the parks, and all other places of public re- sort—such as Epsom rid Ascot races, the flower shows, Crystal Palace, &c Tho divi- sion A is, in fact, to the general body cf me- tropolitan police, what the guards are to the army. In all the divisions exactly the sawe organization is maintained, and the same amount of arduous work is performed Two- thirds of the entire force is ou duty from nine or ten in the evening till five or six in the morning, or eight hours. The sergeants or inspectors walk the round of the districts to see that the constables are duly parading their beats. If a door or win- dow is discovered in an unsafe condition, its insecurity is immediately made known to the inmates; and if the constable fails to detect the circumstance during his tour, aud it is aiterwards discovered by his sergeant or tho succeeding constable, he is reported and fined for his neglect. Continued iuattention is vis ited by dismissal. Offences of every kind are severely punished. From 1850 to 1856, one thousand two hundred and seventy-six police- men were turned out of office Of these, six- ty-eight were criminally convicted. Every morning a sheet of ** Occurrences”’ is forward ed to the chief commissioner, which contains the full particulars of all matters worthy of notice, which have taken place during the night throughout the metropolis; and a rec- erd of all property, lost or swlen, from a gold pin to a cheat of plate, is kept in the same central establishment. in case an affair of unusual importance oc- curs, a murder, or a great robbery, news of it is at once brought to headquarters, and toence radiated to every part of the city, by police- men carrying what are termed route papers, or papers of particulars of the offence, on the backs of which are marked the hour at which they were received at the different divisions through which they passed In this manner information can be circu- lated in two hours to all the stations, except those belonging to the suburban districts. This process of communicating intelligence, however, is soon to be superseded by that of the electric telegraph, by which the constables in every partct the city can be made ac- quainted with any necessary particulars with- cut a moment's delay. Inu the suburban districts, the constables, being widely scattered, aro mounted and arm- ed with swords and pistols. Indeed, the toct police, whose beats lie in unfrequented quar- ters, are allowed side-arms; but, for the most part, they are furnished only with billets and Tatues and are especially enjoined never to show their billets except to protect themselves, and never to spring their rattles except iu cases of great urgency. At the headquarters of the metropolitan police, the commissioners sit daily and receive the complaints or other communications of the public. The rooms are full of clerks, but all in the nuiform of the police; in one office the constables are preparing their daily reports; in another, reading the papers, and learning what thieves and rogues have turned up in tbe police courts; in a third room, an inspec- tor is giving the constables of his section sume necessary instructions; {a a fourth, are the detective police ; in a fifth, the foreiga dotec- tives, &e , &c. The floating foreign population of the metropolis is well known to the police, and precluded fro any successful attempts at plots or disturbances The detective police constitute an impor- tant branch of the department. This furce consists of three inspectors, nine sergeants, and a body of police termed ‘ plain-ciothes men,’ whose services can be had at any mo- ment These plain-clothes men are selected with especial reference to their expertness, from the six thousand persons composing the police force. They are the shrewdest of the shrewd. In all great gatherings they are distributed among the crowd, dressed accord- ing to the character of the assembly. Thus, at an agricultural meeting, smock frocks are worn, or the dress of a small farmer; ata re- view, the habiliments of a decent mechanic in his Sunday best. The detectives, as well as the thieves, are generally famous for sume {peer line of business. One is good at | jouse-breakers, another knows how to follow up the swell mob, and a third is a crack band at forgers, &c. . . . ‘Lhe police courts for dispensing justice are eleven in number. They form the judgment seats to which all offenders in that great cap- ital of two million five hundred thousand in- habitants are brought, either to be punished summarily, or to be remanded to the sessions to take their trial. These courts, in 1855, terin aletterto Mazzei But the followi passage in a letter from Mr. Jefferson, di mie trom Martin Van Buren, putsthe charge at rest : “The other allegation re tin; If, is penis ae In page 3 he Spi ering) quotes Dr Stuart as having, twen informed him that General Washing ange he became a private citizen, called me to ac- count for expressions used in a letter to Mazzei, requiring, in a tone of unusual sever- ity, an explanation of that letter. He adds ot himself, that in what manner the latter humbled himself and appeased the just resent- ment of Washington, will never be known, as some time after his death, the co; mdence was not to be found, and a diary for an im- portant period of his presidency was alse mass- ing. The diary being of transactions during his presidency, the letter to Mazzei not known here until some time after he became @ prewate citizen, and the pretended co; of course, after that, I know not why this lost diary and supposed correspondence are brought together here, unless for insinuations mes om of the letter itself The correspondence could not be found, indeed, because it had never ex- isted. Ido notafirm that there never passed a word, written or verbal, directly or indi rectly, between General Washington and my- self on the subject of that letter. He wou never have degraded himsel{ so far as to tak to himeelf the imputation in that letter on “Sampsons in combat.’ The whole story is a fabrication, and I defy the framers of it, and all mankind ot aetna & scrip of a pen be- tween General Washington and myself on the subject, or any other evidence more worthy of credit than the suspicions. suppositions and presumptions of the two persons here quoti and quoted for it. With Doctor Stuart I h not much acquaintance. 1 supposed him to be an honest man, knew him to be a very weak one, and, like Mr. Pickering, very prone to antipathies, boiling with ions, and, under the domintonof thao, reality wel” coming fancies as facts. But come the sto: from whomsoever it might, it is an unqualified falsehood.’’ Within a few days, said Mr. Jefferson to De Nemours, I retire to my family, my books and farms; and having gained the harbor myself, I shall look on mg friends still buffeting the storm, with anxiety indeed, but not envy.— Never did a prisoner, released from his chains feel such relief as I shall on shaking off the shackles of power Nature intended me for the tranquil pursuits of science, by rendering them my supreme delight But the enormi- ties of the times in which I have lived, have forced me to take a part in resisting them, and to commit myself on the boisterous ocean of political passions I thank God for the op- portunity of retiring from them without cen- sure, and carrying with me the most consoling proofs of public approbation. Sometimes previous to the evacuation of Charleston, Colonel Menzies, of the Pennsyl- vauia line, received a letter from a Hessian officer within the garrison, who had been a prisoner, and treated him with great kind- ness, expessing an earnest desire to show his gratitude, by executing any commiesion with which he would please to honorhim. Colonel Menzies replied to it, requesting him to send twelve dozen cigars; but being a German, and little accustomed to express himself in English, he was not very accurate in his or- thography, and wrote stzars. Twelve dozen pairs of scissors were accordingly sent him, which for a time occasioned much mirth in tho camp at the Colonel's expense; but no man knew better how to profit from the mis- take Money was not at that period in circ lation; aud by the aid of a woman distribut- ing his scissors over the country, in exchange tor poultry, Colonel Menzies lived luxuriously, while the fare of his brother officers was a seanty pittance of famished beef, bull-frogs from ponds, and cray-fish from the neighbor- ing ditehes.— Mobile Tribune. ——_— + Russian Hotels. In place of hotels, a system of acoommoda- tion has been established in these cities for travelers who remain for months or longer- An agreement is made for board and lodging at a stipulated price; they receive one or two furnished rooms, tea, a good dinner, at the table d'hote, and tea in the evening; and each pays for lodging. fire, candles, food, drink, and attendance. twenty-five, forty, or fifty sil- ver roubles (£4. £6 8s , or £8) a month.

On arriving and stop- ping before one of these houses, no one comes to receive you,—the landlord you seldom get asight of You go into the house, and search for the bar, which is generally in the upper story, and there you find a kind of waiter, whom you ask for lodging. He shows you the rooms, in general badly furnished and without beds, instead of which a leathern sofa serves for a place oa which you can spread out your own bed. The traveler has always to bargain, and of- fer half what is demanded ; and when this is concluded he enters into possession. At the bar different kinds of drink (wine, brandy, &ec ,) and cold meats are sold; next to this are several rooms, the so-called restaurant, in which dinner is served a/acarte If you ask what is to be had, cutlets and beefsteaks always named (since 1815 these two words have penetrated even into the heart of Asia!) they are, however, commonly of very bad quality, and very ill cooked On the other hand, if you ask for genuine Russian dishes, the shtcht (cabb. soup with meat in it,) or the piroa (a kind of pie with fish or meat,) you find these palatable and wholesome. The white bread is bad, the black bread good. (iood tea may also be procured everywhere in tumblers, generally with a slice of lemon in it, and without milk.

They dis- pose of sixty thousand cases annually From an analysis of the criminal returns of the metropolitan police, it appears that crimes have their peculiar seasons Suicides, assaults, and drunkenness occur most fre- quently in deg days; while in the winter, burglaries increase, and the uttering of coun- terfeit coin. Tho character of the cases brought before the police court varies, in some degree, accord- ing to the neighborhood and other causes. At Bow street, cases of arson, murder and bank- ruptey predominate. The Thames police deals with mutinies and murders committed on the high seas Worship street is famous, or rather infamous for wife-beaters; Marlborough strect for blind beggars, &c. A Vittace or Women.—The Augsburg Ga- zette contains the following unique piece of intelligence : The village of Madana, which is about sixty English miles from Rutschud, in Wallachia, offers at the present moment a curious ethno- graphical singularity, having been inhabited by women only for the last thirty years.
