— ‘el, IX,—=No. 31,—-Whole No, 3244 TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I beg leave to give notice tothe AMERICAN PEOPLE, pf all classes and conditions, that I am making prepara- tions to republish, in the cheapest style, and in the week- ly quarto form of newspapers, adiversified ond valuable selection from the RELIGIOUS LITERATURE of Chris tianity, produced by the men of genius belonging to every seat during the last two hundred years. ‘The reason for uttempting such a project is plain. Ma- | terialism, infidelity and immorality, of all kinds, have of late been industriously circulated throughout the country under such imposing names, and to so great an extent, that something must be done to revive the ancient spi rit of Religion #n.1 Morals. Lecturers of all kinds—so- phists on every subject—the worat and wickedest litera- tureof France and England, re-produced in the cheapest forms, have demoralized the age—and upset all the esta- plished land marksof morality and religion throughout the land. It is therefore necessary that something should be done But who is todo it? If none other will, I shell. I propose to republish in the cheapest form, in quick succession, a selection from the works of the best and purest RELIGIOUS AU THORS, be they Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Catholio, Methodist, Baptist, or any otherdenomination. These se- lections will not be on religious controversy—but sach as treat on practical piety—on good works—and on the ge neral principles of Christianity, without the bad spirit of sectarianism. ‘To carry out this project well, J possess a large printing establishment, and the Hznatp, a daily newspaper, of thirty thousand circulation, now considered the principal advertising organ in the country, capable of giving hroughout the Union intelligence of these works os they appear, This Printing Establishment comprises 10 presses, 60 printers, 10,000 poundsot type, andaconsump. tion of about 990 reams of paper, of all kinds, per week. We have every means in our power to carry this pro- ject into operstion—and we believe that the American publie is ready to aidend assistany man, who will throw himself into the breach, and endeavor to revive the an- cient piety, virtue, and principles of our forefathers, in opposition to modern scepticiam and immorality, which are stealing stealthily over the present generation, under the masks of geology, mesmerism, fourierism, finance, neurology, transcendentalism, human perfectability, and the whole train of modern philesophy and light literature. JAMES GORDON BENNETT. - ‘To Business Advertisers. Advertisers and men of business, who want to make the selection of a vehicle for their notices in the ap proaching spring busiz.ess, are particularly called to the following authentic doeaments, relative to the circulation of the two leading papers in the city — Sun Orrice, N. ¥., rx j 29,1942. Mr. HV. Boruza i, Sin — Please deliver at the Sun Office, N.

By these documents it will be seen that the Herald has much larger circulation than the Sun, and is therefore deciledly the best for advertising. Yet we would not ask any person to select either paper, contrary to theiT own views and feelings. The paper maker for the Sun is a very respectable and very honorable man—and a capi al paper manufacturer. So also are our paper makers, Messrs, Persse and Brooks, with whom we have dealt to the extent of nearly $250,000 in paper. Advertisers will remember thet * facts.

From James Maguire, for release trom fine and imprisoument for keeping more hogs than the Corporation ordinances allow. He alleges that he was committed without any knowledge of either judgment or execution against him. Alderman Lee said that if such was the case, the assist aut Justice should be brought before the Board, but he could not believe that such was the case The petition was referred to Committee on Police, but without power.

The Joint Committee on Public Oftices presented a re. port in favor of leasing the room now occupied by the American Institute for ten years, provided the reading rooms are thrown open for the transient public Al :x said that he thought the Society should til the Corporation desired the no knowing how soon. the Cor- poration might desire the use of this room, and the Alder- men had no right thus to give possession of thecity pro- perty. without any remuneration. Alderman Puxpy moved that the report be printed. Alderman _L id that the room asked for in the Alms House Bu’ might be desired as a court room for the Sessions when the Tombs tumbled down, which was very probable from present appearances; and if such an event should transpire, there would be no place for the use of that court. Alderman Canman said that the Society would be glad to take a lease until the Tombs tumbled down. ‘The motion to lay on the table and print was adopted. The Committee on Lamps and Gas reported in favor of lighting Firemar’s Hall with gas. Committee on Wharves, Piers, and Slips, reported in favorot widening and repairing Pier No. 6 on the south- west side of Coenties 81 Alderman Canaan ought to sell the pier, and not ex, repairs. Alderman Punpy said that the public the city co tthe Corporation over $100,000 more than their income for the past ten or filteen years. He hoped that in case of an equalization of the representation in the several wards this great expense, would be curtailed, and more attention would be paid to up town improvements, He hoped that the public wharves and piers would be dis. posed of, and the money appropriated towards paying the city debt. Aldermn Baxassaid the pier required immediate repair and that there was more amount of property landed upon it than on any other pier in the city--that it should be widened, and the additional cost will not be over $500 Aljermen Canaan said there were a pumber of gentle- men ready to purchase the pierson the East river, and that whenever they were placed in private hands they were profitable, but in no instance could they be found so when owned by the Corporation. He therefore hoped that they would be sold. ‘Alderman Lye said he was in favor of up town improve. ments, but he was opposed to all sectional notions, and he therefore hoped that the pier would be repaired without delay. "Alerman Bais said it was true that the expenses for i he thought the Corporation so much money in iers and slips of the past several years of repairs for piers had been large, but the city now owned $300,000 worth of piers. Alderman Canman that the most of his property laid in the first ward, and he should always record hi favor of the sale of any of the public piers whenever the Corporation had an offer, Alderman, Unpenwoop said that the piers in the first ward yielded al rgerevenue, and even if the expenses of these repairs, &c. had been more than their income, he believed the public were satisfied with the expen Ile said tht the taxes of this city were heavy, it was true, but that the taxes of the city of ‘Troy and Baltimore were quite as heavy. He said that if the corporation felt dis- posed to charge the same amount of wharfage that was paid in Boston they would produce a large revenue, but they had refused so to do, as it was considered a tax upon commerce and upon trade, and therefore they would not adopt such a measure. Alderman Bais said the whole expense would not ex- ceed $2500. Alderman Hatriexp said he “as generally opposed to all extensive repairs of wharves and piers, but he had ex- amined th rand felt satisfied that st should be repair ed at once. The resolution to repair was then adopted, by a vote of ll to 3. The Board here took a recess for supper, whi*h consis. ted of cold ham, dry and strong, and corned beef, coarse andstringy. ‘This recess isa bore, and should be abolish. ed entirely. Alderman Ler in roduced a resolutio the Police and Watch Committee to inqui duct of the keeper of Potter’s Field, in refusing to allow the body of James Dunn to be removed from the place where it was firstdeposited en mass , to a separate grave, in order that he might be able to find it as soon as he could raise funds to place it in another burial ground. Referred ‘o Committee on Police, &c- Alderman Puapy presented the petitions of some 83 per. sons, confined,in the[Eldridge street prison within the last year for refusal to pay militia fines, and asked that it he referred to the Committee on Laws, which was granted Alderman Purpy offered a resolution, calling upon the Committee on Laws to inquire into the expediency of making an application to the Legi lature to abolish im- prisonment tor nen-pay ment of militia fines. Adopted. e committee to whom was referred the removal of Potter’s Field to Randall’s Island, reported in favor of the measure, and recommended the appropriation of $800 for the purpose of building akeeper’sh use. ‘ALpenmax Samiti said ke was in favor of using the south side of Coney Island for that purpose. What will Governor Davissay to this? Aldermen Purpy advocated the removal to Randall’s Island, and that it be called the city cemetery. The resolution as amended was adopted. Committee on Fire and Water reported in favor of allow- ing the Chief Engineer $323 for extra services performed by him in superintwending’ the repairs of engines, &c., pre- vious to the Increase of his salary to $1000. Aldermen Les moved to lay the resolution on the ta- ble. ‘Alderman Punpy hoped not. ‘Aldermen Geoxey explained, when Alderman Le» withdrew his resolution to lie on the ta- calling upon ble. Alierman Smitn opposed it,‘on the ground that the Chief Engineer had received $500 for extra services per. formed during the same time that the present sum is asked fe Sine résolution was finally adopted. ‘The Committee on Police, Watch and Prisons reported in favor of increasing the salary of Dr. McComb, physi cian of the City Prison from the sum of $400 to $600. ‘Alderman Lye opposed any increase of salaries. ‘Alderman Uxoxnwoop advocated it, on the ground that the services performed were well worth the amount of advance. Alderman Davies offered a resolution as a substitute, calling for the appointment of an additional physician to the Clty Prison, at a salary of $300 per annum, whose duty it shall be to attend the watch houses and prison above Grand street. ‘Alderman Crottvs opposed the amendment and advo- ated the originul resolution. Alderman SmitH opposed the increase. Alderman Canman ditto.

Thave deferred submitting « communication on the subject, until the present time, with the hope of bein; abla to present my views fully, but as the short intery of time I have been relieved from active official ¢uties have been devoted, under the direction of officers of the State and city governments, to the examination of the intricate accounts which extend through several years, | am under the necessity of giving ” very brief imper- fect reply to your resolution. And as it ia very generally admitted that our present Police system is almost wholly ineffectual for the prevention of crime, and is destitute of the important principles which should form the basis of a Police for a dense and heterogeneous population of 300,- 000. Ishall not repeat the statements of oth vance my own views in relation to existin, cept so far as may be necestary in. censider rovement in the Police Department of the ci by the wants and interests of the citizens ;’ subject I entertain the following opinions :— lst. The Police Department should be so to be in operation without intermission, for the services of its members may be required at any time. At present the night watchmen are the only persons who are required to partrole the streeta, except.a few Sunday officerr, and Day Police otticers, in some of the wards, and it is notori- ousthat most cases of shop litayg, stealing from halls of houses, and the passing of counterfeit money, occur in the evening before the watchmen go on duty, and many bur- Rl and robberies are committed near the time they leave their posts in the rrorning; and this state of things will continue so long as the present system is ted to exist, for while there are stated periods when neither watchmen nor police officers are on duty opportunities are then aflorded to avoid detection, and the commission of of- fences is a natural consequence. A case in point occured recently, and, as it is a striking illustration, I take the liberty to mention it. Early on the morning of the 22nd inst, two houses in Third street, between the Second Ave- nue andthe Bowery, were bury usly entered and velu- able articles stolen therefrom, in one of the houses ¢ clothes in acloset were set on fire, but as incen- fortunately closed the closet door, the fir expired; all this was done by the offenders unob served, and no trace of them, or the stolen property, has been discovered, and yet in the’ street,and adjoining the row ot buildings where the burglaries and larcenies were committed, and jon attempted, there is a sub-watch- nd also a police office. It may be well to state, as a proof of the utter want of proper organization of the watch department,that the only ordinance which relates to the time watchmen shall be: duty, requires, merely that they shall attend on “altern nights,” ‘and the whole matter has been left with the tains ofthe watch, who may keep them on duty at such times, at night, as they may consider most necessery, or find to be most convenientand although they have gener- ally directed their men to go on duty at the same hour, on the several districts, no regard has been paid to uniformi- ty in the time of the several companies leaving their posts in the morning 2d. Members of the Police department should be con stantly stationed in all parts of the ciry, that their servi- ces may be obtained wherever, as well us whenever, re- quired for the arrest of offenders, or performance of other otticial duties. Many instances might be cited of felons being permitted to escape, because the police office was far distant, and private citizens supposed they had no right to make an arrest, or were unwilling to spend their time or hazard their lives in arresting the offenders and convey- ing them to the nolice office. Besides, the presence of a police officer at the time and place ditorderly conduct commenced, would often prevent the commission of ects that would, but for his presence, lead to most serious re- suite; and police officers should, therefore, possess the means to make themselves known as such, at auy time, but, with all due deference tor the opinions of others, there should be nothing in their general appearance to in dicate their employ ment, for transgressors would thereby have a decided advantage, and would assuredly exercise it; they could qbserve an officer, and would embrace the opportunity afforded by a tem absence trom & por- tion of his district, to commit depredations. This branch of toe subject is importent in another point of view ; for the certainty of police officers being on duty throughout the city, without being designated as euch, would have a tendency to deter persons, particular! the young, from deviating from the path of rectitude, would prevent the first commission of a patty, offence, which, if perpetrated, and repented, would lead te ac rrercalculated eventually to transform the timid delin- quent into a hardened villain. Accor.Jing to the present arrangement, it isthe duty of Police officers to attend daily at the Police offices, end, however great may be the emergency which requires their presence and services at Harlem or thi Battery, at the Dry Dock or Greenwich, or in any other part of the city, application must be made at the “Ilalls of Justic: in Centre street, or the “Upper Police Ottice,” on the cer- ner of Third street and the Bowery, and even thenthere is no certainty of procuring the assistance sought for— When the officers have performed their duties for the day, by waiting at the Police office, or otherwise, they proceed to public exhibitions, to public balls or private partieste fuffill their ongagements as officers, or they spend their time in any way their interests require, or inclinations lead them; they will not devote themselves to the service ofthe public without compensation, nor have we any right to expect them to do #0. 34. The members of the Police Department should not ba permitted to engage in any other business then thet allotted to them in the department. There is no part of this whole snbject more susceptible of demonstration then this, but want of time will not admit of elaborate possess, of particular ¢ the multifarious schemes for committing offences, and the stratagems resorted to for avoiding detection, can only be acquired by close and constant application to the business of the Police department; and the charecter and ureful- ness ofthe department, as well as the public good, require that Police officers should be continually under the di- rection of their superior officers, not be to mingle and associate with all classes of indireri- nately, nor to resort, at wiil, to all kinds of places. It is unnecessary, and would be extremely disagreeable, to mention particular caves which show the aad necessity of adopting the rule here pnd wn ‘Letit enflice that it is our duty to guard against what men may do. ‘As long as the watehmen forthe night and the Police officers for the day constitute separate d ents, will be miserably deficient for all the put for which watchmen is a Police is by a2 ‘The pay received not sufficient for the maintenance of their fumilies, and those ofthem who labor hard during on aia thereby hecome much fatigued, are not the most suitable persons for watchmen ; whilethore who lounge about in the day time, are very improper persons for the duty. But how- ever suitable the persons may be who compose the watch, they must leave their posts at stated times in the morning to parsue theirordini business, whatever benefit might resnit from their remai on their posts; and all the in- formation they may have received of threatened, or an- ticipated depredations, is rendered useless by their not having immediate successors to whom they may commu- nicate the information. Ifthe whole time of the officers should be engaged in the public service, their entire re- muneration sught to be derived from the public trea- vury. ah Police Officers should receive their appointment from persons not elected to office by the people, nor can- Midates for their suffrages—for reasons so universally i:nown that there can be no herm in making the ys tion here, and but little necessity for stating wh is rade. To gnerd against the Pelice ofeers 1g all men of the seme political party, and some of them not the best men in that party, an that no improper influence grow- ing out of the manner oftheir appointment may be exer- cised over them, they shonld be appointed by Commis- eioners, to be selected with special reference to this ob- ject, and for their pow led, integrity, persevering and peculiar fitness for the performance of the hich would devolve upon them ; and that the ich diffused, the number sth. The city should be divided into districts, near the centre of each of whieh there should be a station-house, with a Magistrate in continualattendance. The men be longing on stations should be able to repair to, and return from, thelr respective posts in @ short space of time, and the facility and promptness with which it would at times be necessary to assemble the Police force in particular sections of the city, would be impracticable without @ di. sion of the city into districts. Indeed, without this pro vision, the foregoing suggestions corey not be adopted; 16 or, iadopted, cartied into successful operation, oRie disteict system was introdaced into the Watch De- vartment from sheer necessity, and the number of dis- Prods hed Boon increased with the increase of population; vutthis is the only consistent feature of the ment, rad an expose o| the Hlong continued practice at the Wwatchhouses will not oly ilustrate the part of the sub- ject now under consideration, but will confirm the gene- ral views herein contained. It is the duty of watchmen to “receive into their custo- jy, and detain until the next morning, and until discharg- dor committed by the proper authority, every person ipprehended and delivered to them for any offence what- sovver, after the watch shall be set” And itis the duty of each captuin of the watch, ‘as early as conveniently may be after his tour of duty, to make a return into the office of the Justices of the Police of all pertons arrested, and convey the prisoners therein named to 0! f the po- lice offices. Under these regulations, persons are confined
