" NONE BUT PERSONS OF RESPECTAP.ILITY ADMITTED."* —A second examination

into the moral and religious charaeter of the new police-men took place this week ; it having been hinted, that notwith- standing the first examination, some doubtful subjects had contrived to creep in. The pay-of the members of this immaculate band of thieftakers is twenty-one shillings a week. There is an old story of a footman, who on being told he must go to church, expressed a hope that it would be considered in his wages. We think since the new watchmen are required to be as careful of their own characters as of the actions of the public, the extra-duty ought in common fairness to be considered in their wages. * Advertisement of the Finish—vide Morning Herald.
