"The 6peetator," Januarp 18th, 1851 Reports have been floating about
relative to the Police arrangements in connection with the Exhibition in Hyde Park. On the one hand, it has been asserted that an importation of foreign detectives was about to take place ; on the other, it was confidently stated that the Police force of the Metropolis was about to be doubled. Neither of these reports can be said to be strictly correct. The arrangements, so far as they have been perfected up to the present time, consist simply in the reorganization of the superannuated officers. At present, we may state on authority, the Police Commissioners do not intend to provide any further Police force than that we have indicated. It has been finally determined to protect the immediate vicinity of the Exhibition Building with military ; but whether or not it will be necessary to import a foreign detective force to point out foreigners of ill-repute, remains, we are informed, a matter for future consideration.
