A library is kept in the common room 0/ every eection honse, containing from a thousand to twelve hnndred volumes.— These are selected by the men, and are mnoh read. The judgment displayed in the selec¬ tion, and the sterling character of the books . most in demand, speak volumes in favor of I the imtelligence and correct principles of the i members of the force.
I The detective police are composed of three I inspectors, nine sergeants and about a hnn- i dred policemen drawn from the various divisions. They are termed tbe "plaiO' , clothes men," and are in every respect relia- . ble men. In all great gatherings these men ' are distributed among the crowd, dressed ac- I cording to the character of the assembly.— : At an agricultural meeting, smock frocks are , worn, or tbe dress of a small farmer. At a ' review the garb of a mechanic clothed in his '¦ Sunday attire. As a general mle the plain- ; clothes men at such times are placed as near ; as possible to the policemen of their own di- ! vision, in order that they may be assisted in i capturing prisoners wben that is deemed ' necessary. The reviewer dwells at some '¦¦ length on tbe peculiarities of this depart- 1 ment of the police. It is remarked that The London PoUce and London Thieves. ' ggmg policemen have no faculty whatever

"WATCH. MOTHER."
We do not know when we have met! with a mor« tonohing and beantiful poetical! moreeau than the foUowing. It breathes a ; sentiment of holy Inspiration which touches every cord of the heart. Read it:
Mother, watch the liiUe foe^
Climbing o'er the garden wall, ,
Bounding through the husy street,
Banglsg cellar, shed and haU.
Kever count the moments lost,
ITevar count the time It costs, Qnldo diem, mother, whU© yon may.
Mother, watch the UtUe haud
Plcklnff barrlea hv the way, MaklDg honsea in tne saud.
Tossing np the fragrant hay. Never dare the qnesUou ask— " Why to me the weary task ?" The same little hands may prove Mesaengen of Light and Love.
Mother, watch the lllUe tongue.
Prattling eloquent and wild ; What is Bidd aud what le nnng
By the joyous, happy child. Catch the word while yet unspoken, Stop the TOW before 'lis broken; This same tongue may yet proclaim Blessings In a Saviour's name.
Mother, watch the UtUe heart,
Beating soft and warm for you; Wholesome lessons now impart;
Keep, ob keep that young hoart true, ExtrlcaUng erery weed. Sowing good and prvdouK KeeJ. Harvest rich yon then may eee Ripen for eternity.
The Quarterly Review for July contains an interesting article upon the police and bieves of London. The old system of watch¬ men was superseded only so recently as 1638. The membera of it had become a standing joke iu the metropolis, and the ast young men of tbe day played tricks upon tbem, as tbey dozed in their watch- boxes, with almost nightly frequency. The men, too, were doubtleas very corrupt, con¬ niving at almost any breach of the law, when the law-breaker could fee them hand¬ somely, and tyranizing over poorer culprits. Part of tbe system was the strict limitation of the duty of the watchman to their respec¬ tive wards, and it is mentioned tbat a heavy robbery of tea was effected in the presence of one of the watclimen, who excused him¬ aelf "for not having prevented it and arrested the thieves, becanse the theft was not com¬ mitted in his ward, and iherefore he could not interfere. Inefficient, however, as the old watchmen were, the change to the present aystem was not at all popular with the peo¬ ple, and was not effected without causing mucb excitement. Soon after its initiation a collision took place between the force and the people, and three of the police were stabbed, one of tbem mortally. The system although so unpopular at first, bas now be¬ come one of the cherished institutions ofthe conntry.
The present metropolitan police force con¬ sists of five thousand seven hundred and thirty-four persons, comprising a chief com¬ missioner, two assisiants, eighteen superin¬ tendents, one hundred and thirty-three in¬ spectors, six hundred and twenty-five ser¬ geants, and four thonsand nine hundred and fifty-fonr constables. The reviewer says :
" Tbe machinery by which this compara¬ tively small force is enabled to watch by night and day every alley, atreet, and square of this vast metropolis, nay, tries every ac¬ cessible door aud window of its 400,000 houses, patrols 90 square miles of countiy, exercises a surveillance over the 8000 repu¬ ted thieves who prey upon its inhabitants, and keeps in awe the 40,000 or 50,000 people who form •" the uneasy classes " of the me¬ tropolis, is not very complicated. The Met¬ ropolitan police distriot extends from Charing Cross 15 miles in every direction, and in¬ cludes the whole of Middlesex and large porj tions of Surrey, Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, Buckinghamshire, and Berkshire, for which seven connties the Commissioners are mag¬ istrates, and tbe police are swom constables. The river Thames is also nnder its jurisdic¬ tion, from Chelsea to Barking Creek, inclu¬ ding all its wharves, docks, landing-places and dook-yards. The entire diatrict has a circnmferenoe of 90 miles, and extends over an area of upward of 700 aquare miles, 100 of which, forming what is called the interior area, ia covered with onr great Babel of brick and mortar. This wide extent of ground is mapped ont into 18 divisions, each of which is watched by a detachment of meu, varying in number according to the extent of tbe area, the exposed nature of the property, or tbe density of the population."
Two-thirds of the entire force are on duty from nine or ten o'clock in the evening to five or six in tbe moming. For some time the night police were required to patrol the streets for nine hours, " without sitting down or even leaning their weary limbs against any support." (Botb by nigbt and day the London police are required to "keep moving.") This labor, however, waa found too severe to be compatible with dne vigi lance towtrd the end of the watch, and onlv eight honrs of patrol are required of the men. The discipline is veiy strict. If tbe sergeant, who himself goes the rounds after his men, discovers any door or window inse¬ cure, and the constable has failed to report it, the latter is fined for his neglect; and if the inattention is repeated, he is dismissed tbe service. That the force is carefully weeded of any who fail to perform their duty faithfully, is evident from the fact, that from 1850 to 1856, twelve hnndred and seventy- six members were expelled the force.
Toward the outskirts of the metropolis, the police are necessarily more widely scattered. This necessitates the use of horses, and the men are famished with swords aud pistols. The "city police" of Loudon is under the management of the corporation. The area occupied by tbem is in the very centre of the Metropolitan police district, and while containing scarcely one-twentieth part of its population, possesses a fourteenth part of its wealth. Through ita thoroughfares pas¬ ses an ever-teeming population. By one avenue, Cheapside, 13,796 vehicles, contain¬ ing 52,092 persons, and 67,510 pedestrians pass in one day; and by another, Aldgate, near the Minories, 9,322 vehicles, containing
20,804 persons, and 58,430 pedestrians.
Indeed, it ia estimated that four hundred thonsand persons are poured into that one square mile and a qnarter in tbe course of the twelve honra of the day. Five hundred and sixty men well perform the duty of guarding the property aud persons of this crowded and wealthy district. It is to be bome in mind that in the city proper are an immense nnmber of uninhabited warehouses, a perfect labyrinth of Unes, and a vast crowd ^ of carta and vans always standing full of valuable goods at the warehouse doors, with nnmerous banks, the clerks of which are continuaUy passing to and fro with large sums of money in their possession.
Respecting the materfal of which w^q Metropolitan police are formed, the reviewer furnishes some interesting information. The best constables come from tb© provincial towns and cities. "They are both quicker and more plucky." The sharp Londoner makes a poor poUoeman, and cannot he trained in tbe necessary submissioB to dis¬ cipline. The mere country villager is rarely intelUgent or prompt enough. Whenadmit-
the very day they enter the force, show this faculty so strongly that they are at once marked off for thia special service. These detectives are generally famous for some particular line of bnsiness. " One is good at housebreakers, another knows bow to follow up a swell mob, aud a third is a crack hand at forgers." Mr. Dickens, in his Household Words, has given some admirable pictures of detective policemen.
Of the thieves, whose ill-omened presence creates the necessity for this immense net¬ work of police organization, the reviewer gives some instructive facts. The pick-pock¬ ets are the largest class of thieves, and are the most estensive range of intellect, age and dress. Tiie May meetings at Exeter Hall are tbeir harvest. Next to these are the burglar.'!, of whose modes of operation the article in the Review gives particulars not generally known, but with which readers wonld do well to acquaint themselves.— Then there are the dragsmen, wlio plunder vehicles, with other classes. Respecting their habits, haunts, &c., the reviewer also gives much information. Some of bis com¬ ments upon the mode of proceeding in the police courts would very justly apply to the police courts of this city.
Hdman Petrifaction.—A paper read by Prof. Coffin, before the recent scientific con¬ vention at Albany, controverts the popular idea that human bodies are sometimes con¬ verted iuto stone after death. The suppos¬ ed cases of petrifaction which are frequently mentioued iu the newspapers, are instances where the human remains have been convert¬ ed into " adipocire" (a fatty matter whioh is generated in dead bodies, under peculiar cir¬ cumstances,) and not into stone. Adipocire closely resembles stone, to an unpracticed observer, but it is simply a chemical change of the body, which occurs only when the coffin becomes filled witb water or is buried in moist earth. The body, trans- lormedinto adipocire, floats in water, which it would not do if converted into stone. The supposed cases of changes of position in tbe grave, bursting open tbe coffin lids, taming over, crosaiiig of limbs, &o., formerly attrib¬ uted to the coining to Ufe of buried peraons, tbe Professor said, were now ascertained to be due to the same canse. The chemical ohauge into adipocire, and the evolution of gases, prodnce the movements of dead bodies. The Professor exhibited a specimen ofa portion of a human body converted into adidocire, taken from the grave last year.
Prof. Horsford added some corroborative factSj'^relating a case where the bones of an infant were said to have been converted into phosphorus, and exhibited some specimens. "We do not think, however, that these views in regard to human " petrifaction" are conclusive. Instances, seemingly well au¬ thenticated, are occasionally reported, where dead bodies, upon being disinterred, bave been fouud to be perfectly solid, emitting a ringing sound when atmck and fracturing like stone. A case of this kind was men¬ tioned at Albany—that of a lady interred near Cinciimati, whose body, upon being subsequently disinterred, was found to be converted into a solid substance, very heavy. No scientific man examined it, however, to decide whether it was adipocire, or bone, or stone. We recollect hearing of an instance of tbis sort which occurred in a town in tbe State of Maine, where tbe body of a deceased person, upon being diainteixed for removal, was found to be so heavy that a yoke of ox¬ en were employed to draw it from the grave. If the report was true, the body must have been transformed into something heavier than adipocire. The subject is oue of curi¬ ous interest, aud we tmst that when another "petrified" human corpse is discovered some scientific person may have an oportnnity to test its claim to be called stone.
It is related that in 1786, when the church¬ yard of the Innocents, at Paris, was cleaned out, and the bones transported to the cata¬ combs, it was discovered that numbers of the bodies were converted into a saponaceous white substance, more especially thoae whicb had been interred for fifteen years in one pit, to the amount of fifteen hundred, in coffins closely packed together. These bodies were flattened, in consequence of their mu¬ tual pressure, and though they generally re¬ tained their shape, there was deposited round the bones of several, a grayish white, some¬ what soft, flexible substance. Von Hartkal made experiments during twenty-five years npon this subject, from which he inferred that " there is no formation of adipocire in bodies buried in dry gronnd and that in moist earth the fat of dead bodies does not increase, but changes into a fetid saponace- eous substance, incapable of being worked into either soap or candles ; that tbe dead bodies of mammalia, immersed in rnnning water, leave behind after three years a pure fat, from which, witbout any purficationi candles may ba made, as void of smell, as hard, and as white, as from bleached wax," If the body be immersed in stagnant water tbere results a greater amount of fat, but it is less pure.

Illinois Aoaikst the World—Remarkable Memobt.—On the 15th of June, 1S56, in the Island Grove Sabbath School, one of the teachers proposed to give the best Bible that could be purchased, to the scholar that conld commit to memory the greatest number of verses from the Bible, between that time and Conference, October 15. Several scholars eagerly labored for the prize, but all with¬ drew from the contest the first Sabbath of ihe recitation except two, Mary Jane Parker^ and Mary 0. Jordan. The latter committed in five weeks 4,565 verses, and the former 7,- 199. The last week Mary J. Parker memo¬ rized 4,266 verses. The whole amonnt re¬ hearsed by her tbe last week, embraced the following portions of the Bible: All of Gen¬ esis, 33 chapters in Exodus, 3 chapters in Luke, Psalms from the 25th to the 52d and from the 113th to the 148th, the three Epis¬ tles of John, 14 chapters in Revelations, all of Hebrews, and all of James. I propose to give an elegant Bible to any girl, a Sabbath School scholar, that will commit more verses of the Scriptures in the same length of time.
It will be perceived that while we have the largest prairies, fairest skies, purest air, most fertile soil and splendid flocks and herds, aud longest railroads, we have also some of the smartest children in all the land.—W. J. Newman, Pastor.—St. Louis Advocate.
In thus stimulating and over-tasking the minds of his scholars, " W. J. Newman, Pas¬ tor," has probably done them irreparable in¬ jury. Instead of complimentary notices in the papers he should have three months in the county prison.

For the Hiccups.—Travelling some time siuce by railroad from Columbus lo Balti¬ more, I took my seat immediately in front of a gentlemau who was suffering under a par¬ oxysm of hiccups, to a degree that I had nev¬ er before witneased. In a few minutes a person appeared from the end of the car and took a seat beside him, when he said: "Sir, can you tell me what is good for the hiccups? I have been afflicted in the way you gee me ¦ince yesterday noon, and have had no rest or relief from any physician to whom I ap¬ plied for assistance: I am worn out with suffering." To whom the person replied:— "Sir, I win oure you in less thau two minutes by the watch. Have confidence, for I am sure I can do it. Hold up high above your head two fingers of your haud; lean back in your seat, open your mouth and throat so as to give a free passage to your lungs ; breathe very long aud softly and look very steadily at your fingers." In less than the time spej cified the cure was performed, one hiccup only occurring during the trial. The patient conld not express his gratitude, while the practitioner only extracted from him as a fee the promise that he wonld extend the know¬ ledge which he had imparted aa freely as he had received it, assuring him that lie would never be disappointed in the reault. We were all struck with the faot. Since then I have often had occasion to practice upon patients in the same disorder, aud never without the most signal succeaa.

Be Systematic—It will add mnch more to yonr convenience that you can imagine. It saves time, saves temper, saves patience, and saves money. For a time it may be a little troublesome, but yon will soon find it easier to do right than wrong ; that it is easier to act by rule than without one.
Be Byatematio in everything; let it extend to most minute trifles, it is not beneath yon. Whitefield could not go to sleep at night if, after retiring, he temembered that his gloves and riding whip were not in their naual place, where he conld Uy his hand on them inthe dark in any emergency; and such men are the men who leave their mark on the world's history.
Systematic men are the only reliable men • they are those who comply with their en^ gagements. They are minute men. The man who haa notiung to do is tho man who doea nothing. The systematic man is soon inown to do what he engages to do; to do it well, and to do it at the eame time promised; conssqaenUy he haa hia bands fall.

A NEW MUSIC BOOK.
THE KEYSTONE COLLECTIOJV,
Witli a New Systeni for Teacliing Singing Schools and Training Choirs, hy Pro¬ fessors A. N. Johnson and E. H. Frost, called thy Physiological System of Vocal Muaic. •¦pHE COLLECTION OF MUSIO,
I, In addition to the instmctlons for Choirti, Musical AsHOclatlona, Singing Schools and the Home Circle, en¬ titled tbe Physiological System of Vocal Mnalc, consists of,—Ist, A complete collection of Hymn Tones of tbe modt Interesting and useful character. 2d, A collection of Fpirlted and stirring Anthems. 31, A collection of Hymns set to muaic thronghont. 4th, A collection of Psalms, taken literally from the Bible, set to ximple but very boaatiful mnsic, snilable for almost erery oc¬ caaion of public worahip. 6th, The Cantata "TheMorn¬ ing of Freedom," aglorions Cantata, the mnsic selected from tho very best Operas andthe words written express¬ ly for tlil(i work by the celebrated musical Pool J. C. Johnson. Tth, A 0 llcctlon of sterling Chants.
Thc Physiological System of Vocal Music la divided into fonr departments:
1st, McsicAL Notation, ^ui. Cijltivatiom of tui; Voice. 3d. Mcsic.ii, Espbession. 4tb. MtisirAi. Dis¬ ci pli nk.
The Department of Musical Notation is na easy and methodical systom for imparting the ability to read mu¬ sic fluently, wilh numerous practical axercisea, which are mostly popular Airs and beantifnl Glees.
Tha Department of the Cultivation ofthe Voice is by far the moal mlnnte and methodical system for develop- Ing and controlling the voice that has yetbeen publish¬ ed In this conntry. It is the Invention of Prof. Frost, ona of tho most accomplisbed Teachers of tba Voice in tbo United Slates, and is arranged into a singnlarly easy eyslem by Prof. Johnson whoso akill in simplifying everything his pen touches is well known to all who have t<tudied hia celebrated " InetmcLlons In Thorongh Basa," Itnd bis numerous other educational works.— Every point conntcted with the development and cul¬ ture of tbe voice is esplained and illuatrated so plainly, that every one can easily understand it. When It la considered that a Mezzo Soprano treating her voice like a Soprano UTiWrifiTi i/, as will a Barytone treating bis voice like a Tenor, a Bass like aBarytone,etc., tie vital importance of the cultivation of the voice forming a part of the instructions in every singing scbool and choir can be readily understood.
The Department of Musical Expression is divided into two parta, one termed " Mechanical Expreaslon," or the expression which ia given to a piece by mechanically obeying the marks of espresaionwhich are set to It; andthe other termed "Emotional Expression," orthe expression which Is given to a piece by giving free play to the emotions.
The Department of Musical Diictpline sels forth the ability to implicitly and Instantly obey the leader, just as a soldier obeys bis commanding officer, to be an ac- quitstl on which must be attained hy stndy and practice, jnut as any other mnsical abilities mnst be acquired.

A library is kept in the common room 0/ every eection honse, containing from a thousand to twelve hnndred volumes.— These are selected by the men, and are mnoh read. The judgment displayed in the selec¬ tion, and the sterling character of the books . most in demand, speak volumes in favor of I the imtelligence and correct principles of the i members of the force.
I The detective police are composed of three I inspectors, nine sergeants and about a hnn- i dred policemen drawn from the various divisions. They are termed tbe "plaiO' , clothes men," and are in every respect relia- . ble men. In all great gatherings these men ' are distributed among the crowd, dressed ac- I cording to the character of the assembly.— : At an agricultural meeting, smock frocks are , worn, or tbe dress of a small farmer. At a ' review the garb of a mechanic clothed in his '¦ Sunday attire. As a general mle the plain- ; clothes men at such times are placed as near ; as possible to the policemen of their own di- ! vision, in order that they may be assisted in i capturing prisoners wben that is deemed ' necessary. The reviewer dwells at some '¦¦ length on tbe peculiarities of this depart- 1 ment of the police. It is remarked that The London PoUce and London Thieves. ' ggmg policemen have no faculty whatever
for the detection of crime, while others from
"WATCH. MOTHER."
We do not know when we have met! with a mor« tonohing and beantiful poetical! moreeau than the foUowing. It breathes a ; sentiment of holy Inspiration which touches every cord of the heart. Read it:
Mother, watch the liiUe foe^
Climbing o'er the garden wall, ,
Bounding through the husy street,
Banglsg cellar, shed and haU.
Kever count the moments lost,
ITevar count the time It costs, Qnldo diem, mother, whU© yon may.
Mother, watch the UtUe haud
Plcklnff barrlea hv the way, MaklDg honsea in tne saud.
Tossing np the fragrant hay. Never dare the qnesUou ask— " Why to me the weary task ?" The same little hands may prove Mesaengen of Light and Love.
Mother, watch the lllUe tongue.
Prattling eloquent and wild ; What is Bidd aud what le nnng
By the joyous, happy child. Catch the word while yet unspoken, Stop the TOW before 'lis broken; This same tongue may yet proclaim Blessings In a Saviour's name.
Mother, watch the UtUe heart,
Beating soft and warm for you; Wholesome lessons now impart;
Keep, ob keep that young hoart true, ExtrlcaUng erery weed. Sowing good and prvdouK KeeJ. Harvest rich yon then may eee Ripen for eternity.
The Quarterly Review for July contains an interesting article upon the police and bieves of London. The old system of watch¬ men was superseded only so recently as 1638. The membera of it had become a standing joke iu the metropolis, and the ast young men of tbe day played tricks upon tbem, as tbey dozed in their watch- boxes, with almost nightly frequency. The men, too, were doubtleas very corrupt, con¬ niving at almost any breach of the law, when the law-breaker could fee them hand¬ somely, and tyranizing over poorer culprits. Part of tbe system was the strict limitation of the duty of the watchman to their respec¬ tive wards, and it is mentioned tbat a heavy robbery of tea was effected in the presence of one of the watclimen, who excused him¬ aelf "for not having prevented it and arrested the thieves, becanse the theft was not com¬ mitted in his ward, and iherefore he could not interfere. Inefficient, however, as the old watchmen were, the change to the present aystem was not at all popular with the peo¬ ple, and was not effected without causing mucb excitement. Soon after its initiation a collision took place between the force and the people, and three of the police were stabbed, one of tbem mortally. The system although so unpopular at first, bas now be¬ come one of the cherished institutions ofthe conntry.
The present metropolitan police force con¬ sists of five thousand seven hundred and thirty-four persons, comprising a chief com¬ missioner, two assisiants, eighteen superin¬ tendents, one hundred and thirty-three in¬ spectors, six hundred and twenty-five ser¬ geants, and four thonsand nine hundred and fifty-fonr constables. The reviewer says :
" Tbe machinery by which this compara¬ tively small force is enabled to watch by night and day every alley, atreet, and square of this vast metropolis, nay, tries every ac¬ cessible door aud window of its 400,000 houses, patrols 90 square miles of countiy, exercises a surveillance over the 8000 repu¬ ted thieves who prey upon its inhabitants, and keeps in awe the 40,000 or 50,000 people who form •" the uneasy classes " of the me¬ tropolis, is not very complicated. The Met¬ ropolitan police distriot extends from Charing Cross 15 miles in every direction, and in¬ cludes the whole of Middlesex and large porj tions of Surrey, Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, Buckinghamshire, and Berkshire, for which seven connties the Commissioners are mag¬ istrates, and tbe police are swom constables. The river Thames is also nnder its jurisdic¬ tion, from Chelsea to Barking Creek, inclu¬ ding all its wharves, docks, landing-places and dook-yards. The entire diatrict has a circnmferenoe of 90 miles, and extends over an area of upward of 700 aquare miles, 100 of which, forming what is called the interior area, ia covered with onr great Babel of brick and mortar. This wide extent of ground is mapped ont into 18 divisions, each of which is watched by a detachment of meu, varying in number according to the extent of tbe area, the exposed nature of the property, or tbe density of the population."
Two-thirds of the entire force are on duty from nine or ten o'clock in the evening to five or six in tbe moming. For some time the night police were required to patrol the streets for nine hours, " without sitting down or even leaning their weary limbs against any support." (Botb by nigbt and day the London police are required to "keep moving.") This labor, however, waa found too severe to be compatible with dne vigi lance towtrd the end of the watch, and onlv eight honrs of patrol are required of the men. The discipline is veiy strict. If tbe sergeant, who himself goes the rounds after his men, discovers any door or window inse¬ cure, and the constable has failed to report it, the latter is fined for his neglect; and if the inattention is repeated, he is dismissed tbe service. That the force is carefully weeded of any who fail to perform their duty faithfully, is evident from the fact, that from 1850 to 1856, twelve hnndred and seventy- six members were expelled the force.
Toward the outskirts of the metropolis, the police are necessarily more widely scattered. This necessitates the use of horses, and the men are famished with swords aud pistols. The "city police" of Loudon is under the management of the corporation. The area occupied by tbem is in the very centre of the Metropolitan police district, and while containing scarcely one-twentieth part of its population, possesses a fourteenth part of its wealth. Through ita thoroughfares pas¬ ses an ever-teeming population. By one avenue, Cheapside, 13,796 vehicles, contain¬ ing 52,092 persons, and 67,510 pedestrians pass in one day; and by another, Aldgate, near the Minories, 9,322 vehicles, containing
20,804 persons, and 58,430 pedestrians.
Indeed, it ia estimated that four hundred thonsand persons are poured into that one square mile and a qnarter in tbe course of the twelve honra of the day. Five hundred and sixty men well perform the duty of guarding the property aud persons of this crowded and wealthy district. It is to be bome in mind that in the city proper are an immense nnmber of uninhabited warehouses, a perfect labyrinth of Unes, and a vast crowd ^ of carta and vans always standing full of valuable goods at the warehouse doors, with nnmerous banks, the clerks of which are continuaUy passing to and fro with large sums of money in their possession.
Respecting the materfal of which w^q Metropolitan police are formed, the reviewer furnishes some interesting information. The best constables come from tb© provincial towns and cities. "They are both quicker and more plucky." The sharp Londoner makes a poor poUoeman, and cannot he trained in tbe necessary submissioB to dis¬ cipline. The mere country villager is rarely intelUgent or prompt enough. Whenadmit-
the very day they enter the force, show this faculty so strongly that they are at once marked off for thia special service. These detectives are generally famous for some particular line of bnsiness. " One is good at housebreakers, another knows bow to follow up a swell mob, aud a third is a crack hand at forgers." Mr. Dickens, in his Household Words, has given some admirable pictures of detective policemen.
Of the thieves, whose ill-omened presence creates the necessity for this immense net¬ work of police organization, the reviewer gives some instructive facts. The pick-pock¬ ets are the largest class of thieves, and are the most estensive range of intellect, age and dress. Tiie May meetings at Exeter Hall are tbeir harvest. Next to these are the burglar.'!, of whose modes of operation the article in the Review gives particulars not generally known, but with which readers wonld do well to acquaint themselves.— Then there are the dragsmen, wlio plunder vehicles, with other classes. Respecting their habits, haunts, &c., the reviewer also gives much information. Some of bis com¬ ments upon the mode of proceeding in the police courts would very justly apply to the police courts of this city.
Hdman Petrifaction.—A paper read by Prof. Coffin, before the recent scientific con¬ vention at Albany, controverts the popular idea that human bodies are sometimes con¬ verted iuto stone after death. The suppos¬ ed cases of petrifaction which are frequently mentioued iu the newspapers, are instances where the human remains have been convert¬ ed into " adipocire" (a fatty matter whioh is generated in dead bodies, under peculiar cir¬ cumstances,) and not into stone. Adipocire closely resembles stone, to an unpracticed observer, but it is simply a chemical change of the body, which occurs only when the coffin becomes filled witb water or is buried in moist earth. The body, trans- lormedinto adipocire, floats in water, which it would not do if converted into stone. The supposed cases of changes of position in tbe grave, bursting open tbe coffin lids, taming over, crosaiiig of limbs, &o., formerly attrib¬ uted to the coining to Ufe of buried peraons, tbe Professor said, were now ascertained to be due to the same canse. The chemical ohauge into adipocire, and the evolution of gases, prodnce the movements of dead bodies. The Professor exhibited a specimen ofa portion of a human body converted into adidocire, taken from the grave last year.
Prof. Horsford added some corroborative factSj'^relating a case where the bones of an infant were said to have been converted into phosphorus, and exhibited some specimens. "We do not think, however, that these views in regard to human " petrifaction" are conclusive. Instances, seemingly well au¬ thenticated, are occasionally reported, where dead bodies, upon being disinterred, bave been fouud to be perfectly solid, emitting a ringing sound when atmck and fracturing like stone. A case of this kind was men¬ tioned at Albany—that of a lady interred near Cinciimati, whose body, upon being subsequently disinterred, was found to be converted into a solid substance, very heavy. No scientific man examined it, however, to decide whether it was adipocire, or bone, or stone. We recollect hearing of an instance of tbis sort which occurred in a town in tbe State of Maine, where tbe body of a deceased person, upon being diainteixed for removal, was found to be so heavy that a yoke of ox¬ en were employed to draw it from the grave. If the report was true, the body must have been transformed into something heavier than adipocire. The subject is oue of curi¬ ous interest, aud we tmst that when another "petrified" human corpse is discovered some scientific person may have an oportnnity to test its claim to be called stone.
It is related that in 1786, when the church¬ yard of the Innocents, at Paris, was cleaned out, and the bones transported to the cata¬ combs, it was discovered that numbers of the bodies were converted into a saponaceous white substance, more especially thoae whicb had been interred for fifteen years in one pit, to the amount of fifteen hundred, in coffins closely packed together. These bodies were flattened, in consequence of their mu¬ tual pressure, and though they generally re¬ tained their shape, there was deposited round the bones of several, a grayish white, some¬ what soft, flexible substance. Von Hartkal made experiments during twenty-five years npon this subject, from which he inferred that " there is no formation of adipocire in bodies buried in dry gronnd and that in moist earth the fat of dead bodies does not increase, but changes into a fetid saponace- eous substance, incapable of being worked into either soap or candles ; that tbe dead bodies of mammalia, immersed in rnnning water, leave behind after three years a pure fat, from which, witbout any purficationi candles may ba made, as void of smell, as hard, and as white, as from bleached wax," If the body be immersed in stagnant water tbere results a greater amount of fat, but it is less pure.
