We last week noticed the necessity of suppressing the Dish

nuisances that defy the police of the metropolis. This week there are other cases of atrocity recorded, of the same kind ; and Chan- cery Court, Shadwell, has made itself famous for "killing and maiming" sundry of the police. To permit the Irish, with their disposition to riot, and a kind of constitutional tendency to rebel- lion, to remain in hives, is not only to endanger the peace and quiet of various, pasts of the metropolis, and to endanger the lives of his Majesty's subjects,: but it is absolutely sacrificing the courageous, and meritorious officers of the police, whose duty it is to -guard the districts in which these hornets' nests are found. No people can be better behaved than the Irish, as long as they are cool ;• but the moment they are excited, they pass, by a strange and sudden clouding of the brain, from *cent citizens into infuriated savages. Such people are always dangerous, but more particularly so in crowds. The spirit of partisanship which animates them is another reason for dispersing them : the cause of one is the cause of all ; and as they have no sense of public justice, they as readily take part in rescuing a murderer or a pickpocket as they would the most injured and M- used of their tribe.
