Most of the convicts have been, in one place or other, prisoners from childhood. They have been three times convicted at home : first of all whipped, perhaps, in the Parkhurst Prison for juvenile Offenders. After being exposed to the contaminating influence of many more de l:instd than themselves, they have been pardoned, and sent achift on the world worse than when they entered it. Again apprehended and convicted, they have been sent to Penton vire, or name other prison. Liberated after years, again folh.wing a course of crime, and once more appreberded and convicted, they have been transported to Van Diemen'. Land or Norfolk Island. At each of these places, Radio all their prisons at home and abroad, the pet system of penal training and reform in use at the period has been tried, and all have failed. 00tainieg their conditional pordons, after a eera:n number of years in Van Dietnen's Land, or Nor folk they have had it in their power to go with their ti:ket of leave to any of the Australian colonies. Of course they have made directly for Melbourne—first to the gold region of the digging., and next to the more fixed gold rzion of the wealthy community in the taws. Moat of the C11111(1 of thews men—that is to say, 90 per cent. of them, have originated in England. They had their chief experi ence and training at home. They have committed every efte 1,-re, to obtain gold, which their previous knowledge, skill, and depravity could suggest—and here they are at last. It is night ; a cold wind blows and a drizzling rain fats. An iron tongue, that is to ay, a large bell in the Stockade, now announces that the time has arrived for all the prisoners to go to bed. A jingling of chains is heard as the I garge pass across the yard, then a sound of the drawing of bolt•, then silence. I cannot help speculating en the different sorts of suppressed ferocity in the faces of all these subdued human tigers, as they sit up on their wooden pellets, or look out from benegth their blankets l:ving invited to lisAt in upon three, I approach one of bolted doors.

The boles or brindles are without motion or **mad ; no vo . .e) is heard, no head Sr foot is visible.

Tara/DAY EVININO. Business in the Stock Exchange was checked this morning by the general feeling of suspense as to the result of the weekly board meeting at the Bank of England. As hour after hour passed away, and the Bank sitting was still protracted, anxiety be came more intense, and the market at length Ras almost deserted, the members congregating in the neighbourhood of the Bank, and being altorlether undisposed to do busintsti till the decision of the directors should be promulgated. It was, not till nearly two o'clock that it trans, iired that an advance in the minimum di *Count rate of the institution to four-and-a-Leif per cent. had been decided on. The immediate effect of the announcement was not by any mew is marked, as an impression prevailed in some arters that an ad vance to S per cent. was not imp Jasible, and the rise of 4 per cent. may therefore be said to have been in some measure "discounted." Sellers, however, soon came in more freely, and fly; funds finally cl osed at a further fall of 1 per cent , from the last rates of yesterday, making a total 'dill of rather more than I per cent. in two days. Ir, , ra il way shares the actual depression in prices has 'men further aggravated, but, owing to the fall in 'this market having been so extraordinarily heavy during the last few days, the reduction of to-daX• is scarcely so marked as might have been expects d. The extent to w hi c h thi s f res h r i se i n th e ra t e of dimwit will elect mercantile interests at large,re mains to he 'Jen. The rate of 4 per cent. is certainly not a high rale, and would not militate against the prosecutior, of a steady and successful business throughos .t the country, although it is a higher rate than ha, prevailed since the beginning of 181 e, 1. e., for mor e than five years. It must not be overlooked, howev cr, that in periods of monetary pressure, it is not es much the want of money as the existence of a fecli ag of distrtut that does the mischief, people bei•sg induced to hold their money by them, in the ap prehension of worse times, instead of giving it free em ployment, and so relieving the wants of the general commercial community. Remembering that the present increased stringency of the money market will be relieved so soon as returns can be received for the immense exports that have for months past been in course of despatch to Australia and else where, it is to be hoped no symptoms of distrust will be manifested. It must not be disguised, however, that the unsettled aspect of politics, and the ascer tained deficiency in the harvest, naturally leading to an efflux of the precious metals, are calculated to ag gravate the present stringency, and ought to induce great caution on the part of all persons engaged in monetary and commercial affairs. The accounts from the manufactu ing districts will now be watched with increased interest, as many parties are disposed to think that the disturbance of tho money market will react there in a rather decided manner. The last accounts from Manchester report a very dell market, there being little disposition to do business; whilst prices have begun to exhibit consi derable unsteadiness. Mon has to-day, and for some days, been in such extraordinary demand fur commercial purposes, there having been almost a kind of " run" upon discounters, that we cannot doubt the enhanced rates will be henceforth acted upon throughout the market. In fact, the " out of doors" dealers have for some days pest been charging rates above the then Bank nisninntin of 1 per cent. We understand that due notice will be given in several quarters to-morrow of an increase in the rate allowed for deposits on call. This morning there was a general indisposition on the part of discounters to great accommodation till the result of the Bank sitting should have been made known. As the new stocks can actually be purchased in the! market at a heavy discount, it is almost needless to point out that to accept them at present is simply equivalent to throwing away a considerable sum e ,f money. It is an extraordinary fact, howev'a That 30,0001. of the New Three-and-a-Htli per Cents. end 19,100 of the new Two-e.La•a-1-1, ; :a per Cents. were actually accepted at the 13..0k yesterday. !dears. Baring, BrotLers, and Co. advertise • the periodical operation of the sinking fund, as affecting the 3 and 6 per cent. loans of Chili. The dividends about to fall due on Danish 3 iper cent. of 1825, the various Brazilian 5 per cent. loans, Chilian 6 and 3 per cents., and Peruvian 3 per cents., are also adver tised as payable in due course by the respective agents. The outstanding 6 per cent. bonds of the Peruvian loan of 1849 are to be paid off from the Ist of October. A dividend, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, is advertised as payable on the 22nd inst. on the paid up capital of the National Provincial Lifo Insurance Company. Land shares were cheaper at one period of the day, and generally showed unsteadiness; but at the close prices were much the same as yesterday.

The operations in the foreign stock market were very restricted, and a feeling of flatness generally prevailed. In a few instances ' however, pnees were quoted rather better than the depressed rates cur rent yesterday afternoon • and it would appear that the Bank movement is likely to impart for the mo ment a steadier feeling to the market rather than otherwise. The heavy fall in Peruvian yesterday was mainly owing to the failure in the house then reported, and to-day there was an almost equally marked rally, purchases being made at 77.

Gold continues to be sent to the continent, but in comparatively small amounts. By far the larger proportion of the gold brought in by the-Barrackpore has been sent away; but the supplies of the precious metal received by the Kent and Marco Polo era still available to meet any foreign de mead. There seems little prevent probability, however, of the Bank of England's metallic stock experiencing any sensible accession from the Aus tralian imports. The next packet of tho Royal Mail Steam Company will take out 67,000!. in gold on account of the government of Peru. This sum forms pert of the proceeds of the last Peruvian loan, which, It will be remembered, was intended Rartly for the redemption or conversion of the Old biz per Cent. Peruvian stock, amounting to 1,535,8001., and partly to refund a home debt of 600,000/., bearing higher rates of interest. It is in connexion with this last named object that gold is being sent to Peru; and we can mention that arrangements are being made for the:despatch to that quarter of between 200,000/. and 230,000/. in gold on account of the loan.

AN AUSTRALIAN HOUSE.—Messre. Hutchinson and Son, builders, of Hull, are constructing a large wooden t ea fu t lly and satisfyco mmote house, in a field adjacent to Holderness•road, for a gentle man named Kay, formerly of the West-Riding of Yorkshire b but who now resides in Melbourne, Australia, whither h e o w u e s n , to a come m L ein e d style, and di will uil s n o g is oub o l , T he doubt gentleman who has been induced to expend so large an amount of money as 3,0001. or 4,0001., which it will ulti mately cost, for a place wherein to dwell. The centre of the building consists of two specious rooms—a dining and drawing-room, 22 feet by 16; the right wing of two bed rooms 16 feet by 14, a dressing-room 12 feet square, and a library 16 feet square; and the left wing of a bed-room 16 feet by 14, a dressing-room 12 feet square, nursery 16 feet by 12, and two bedrooms in connexion with the nursery 16 feet by 8, with pantries in the angl, , e. The whole of the rooms are 11 feet in height. The wiugs ere con nected by a spacious corridor 50 feet by 6, in the centre of which is to be fixed a handsome illuminated clock. The walls are composed of frame-work, covered with boarding on both sides, and dry sand is intended to he used to regu late the temperature. There will be French windows to the whole of the rooms, Venetian shutters to the principal windows ; and in the centre there will be an arcade. The building will be covered with zinc.

NEW PASSENGERS ACT.—On the 20th ult. an act was passed to amend the Passengers Act of 1852, so far as relates to the passages of natives of Asia or Africa, and also passages between the Wand of Ceylon and certain parts of the East Indies. By the Passengers Act it is provided that no ship shall convey a greater number of passengers than after the rats of one passenger :to every 15 superficial feet of the passenger deck, if such ship be intended to pass within the tropics. The object of this act is to alter the provision referred to with regard to the natives of Asia Or Africa. The governors of Her Majesty's possessions abroad are empowered to alter the rate for the coravi yam* of such passengers. The act exempts from the operation of the Passengers Act, vessels carrying passengers between Ceylon and certain parts of the East Indies. . n ll .n .n -p -all all at 1 es ei dil Par I r nAls % it 8 -- # - 4 # as. pi 7 8 3i leL+l dis 414 I dim .Imaps YestadaPrie" s n u aidi i dil pre It as par pm, N 4i 1910 " 11 U d 1 Badness done to-6w. 10 WO tea' i* in 191 201 10; dig , If al par f 1 -a.;
