H. Lion Faucher, one of the vice-presidents of the maim of the Rue de Poitiers, has published simal- Wooly with the above a similar address, which. *ugh not profewing to be published by him as the :Egan of that party, is quite understood to express its sentiments. M. Uon Faucher demonstrates that neither the government nor the Assembly can without a gross abuse of the functions conferred on them by the people interfere in the presidential election. He waistline that the commission of a representative im =this in this respect an especial reserve, and blames those meetings of representatives which have declared for a particular candidate. M. de Lemurtine has not, it appears, relinquished his candidateship. There appears in the journals to day a sitsech delivered by him at his chateau near Ilium, on the occasion of the inhabitants of that place presenting him with a flag, in which he declares that be could not without a grow violation of his duty so a citizen withdraw his candidate:hip. He will not elicit the electors either by himself or through his friends, but he will accept such support as they ma 7 give him. He repeats his claims, grounded upon his conduct atter the 24th Feb., and his services in the interval between that and the epoch of his retirement from the government in June. The Bern hiblie, which expresses the opinions and es/assent- the interests of M. de Lamartine, has a hiding article on the presidential question to-day, which laws streng masks of emanating d i rectly or indirectly from M. de Lamertins. In this it is =un tamed that whether Gen. Cavaignac or Prince Louis be elected the will of the French people will not be legitimately termed by such a result. A letter is said to have been written by ;Nlarshel Bugeaud to M. Thins, in which the marshal observes that he ie surprised that the intention should have been attributed to him of supporting the candidate ship of Gen. Cavaignac. The gnat atedority of representatives have pro *Danced in favour of Gen. Gewgaw. The represen adives of the Deux Sevres, du Nord, du Pas, do Oalaia and Finisterre have made a united declaration In his favour. The representatives of the department of Vienne have recommended General Cavaignac to their constituents. An associstieobasjset been formed here under the 1 title of the Democratic Association. the professed ob ject of which is to combine the action of all citizens 1 haakly and seriously devoted to the republic, and re solved to realise in practice the constitution. The president of this society is M. Bnchez, first president tithe Assembly. It will hold a meeting this even- ' ihff for the purpose of deciding on the candidateship for the presidency which it will adopt. Its choice will probably] fall on Gen. Cavaignac. The Cmatitutiunnel says that the interview between the commiitee of provincial editors and M. Thies on the subject of the presidential election has been incor meetly reported, for that M. Thiene did not on that mean= use any expressions personally offensive to say /swim The Bishop of Langres, the Abbe Lepinay, and the Abbe Leblanc—a ll members of the Assembly—have pkilished disavowals of the electioneering circular winch the Bishop of Orleans published in the names elan the ecclesiastical representatives. MM.Cesale* Abbot, Fournier, and other earlesisatical representa tives, equally, it is said, disavow the circular. The relation between the Bank and the state keeps public attention awake to the financial diffi culties of the government. Theis* have been to-day the subject of anxious discamion in all circles, and although well informed person, entertain no serious apprehensions, it is agreed on all hands that nothing short of a full, frank, and satisfactory report ea the pert of the minister of finance, will reassure the country. The epoch of the payment of the dividends is approaching. Next month government will have 6) provide, exclusively of the daily expenses of the date, a round sum of sixty millions of francs. To meet this it has only the instalments of the loan and the actual amount of its portfolio, the value of the entente of which is unknown. M. Goudchaux, late sinister of finance, recently affirmed that the amount ef values in this portfolio on the 24th February was 56 million,. It was 47 millions in September, 1847. It *nevertheless, now stated that its amount is, or likely Irv, 139 millions. The public requires to bow how Weida be, considering the extraordinary financial difficulties of the present year, the drain upon the public purse, and the notable decline of most of the indirect taxes. Ern ion (Paris paper), of the 18th inst., publishes letter signed Cabrera, and dated from Cubells,t he sth 1., in which that general repudiates the amounts given by the government journals of Spain, alleging Mat they are mostly false; and asks if the statements mode of the repeated defeats of the Carlist party were 611 r, why the government should have sent 50,000 }eked troops, and the ablest of its generals, into Cata lan, and have demanded 8,0:0 men of Portugal led he ameludes by saying, " I can only repeat that ay system will not be changed.

Christopher, 1.N., was delirious; his leg had been amputated below the knee, but from some cause it had been found necessary to repeat the operation higher up. All the remainder of the wounded officers were doing well. The regiments forming the army ordered to assemble at Ferunpore are hurrying to their destination with all poseible speed. The force will consist of about 2.5,000 men of all arms, and is, it is raid, to be headed by the commander•in chief In person. Lord Gousth is expected at Ferozepoie on the 2nd fiovember.

All officers on staff employ belonging to regiments ordered to the frontier have been directed to proceed to Ferozepore at the public expense. The order for the formation of the army is now daily looked for. Colonel Eckforel's brigade, which had been ordered to leave Ferosepore for Moulton on the 2nd October, has been directed to stand fast till further orders. INDIA AND CHINA. We gave on Saturday's the new by the overland mail from India, with accounts from Calcutta to the 7th, Madras the Bth, and Bombay the 17th of October. We had the following account of the position of affairs at Moolten from the Bombay nines : In our issue of the 3rd inst. we brought the narrative of events before Mooltan down to the 16th Sept., the siege of the city saving been raised the day previous, consequent on the desertion of the Rajah Shore Singh with his whole force to the enemy.

SAXONY.—We have Leipzic journals of the 15th inst The population of Leipzic had made a demon atration against Austria by tearing down the arms of the empire from the door of the consulate, and de stroying them. Various charivaris had be e n given also during the night to obnoxious individuals. The civic guard was called out, and order was not seriously disturbed. At Dresden, on the 13th, the case of Blum was brought before the second chamber by Tschirner, who asked ministers what had been done in the matter. The minister Von Pfordten replied, that when the Saxon government learnt the state of things in Vienna, instructions were sent to the Saxon embassy there to afford the necessary protection to all subjects of that kingdom. When it became known that Blum had been taken prisoner, instructions were sent on the Bth inst. to protect him from further prosecution, by virtue of his being a native of Saxony. Before these instructions reached Vienna he had been shot. The government had since written to their envoy at Vienna to demand all Blum's effects, and to see that the necessary ceremonies for his inter ment should be attended to; and further to demand that all the necessary documents concerning the con demnation of Blum be sent to the government at Dresden.—Tschirner then moved that the Saxon ambassador at Vienna be requested to render a fall account of his conduct, and that the Central Power be called upon to take energetic steps to obtain an atonement for the injury inflicted on the honour of Germany by the murder of Blum. This motion was adopted, and was subsequently taken up and passed in the first chamber. Frubel, the companion of Blum, arrived at Dresden on the 14th inst. AUSTRIA.—The dates from Vienna are no later than the 12th inst. The Wiener Zeilung of that date contains the financial survey of the last eleven months, and shows a deficit of no lees than 60 millions of florins. The deficit in the receipts aroso chiefly from Ilin , gary and Italy, and from the expenditure for the extra disbursements for the military. They have been chiefly coverzd by credit. If the violently sonvulet d stale of the monarchy should be again oonsoliwitid, nothing whatever is to be apprehended respecting the finances. A great mercantile house has failed for 2.10,000 florins. LISBON, Nov. 12. In my last I mentioned it aa probable that notwithstand ing the efforts seed by the government to detain the polities' prisoners emoted on the 17th June last, the high court of law, the Itasca°, 'mild race, them. On the oth inst. the prates was brought before the judges, who moanimoaely declared, after commenting upon its faults and irregularities, that there had been no cause for such an arrest, nothing having been proved against the parties. The civilians were immediately released. The government being burgs% this decision of the judges, thought of means to retrial in prison the military men ; they therefore ordered Colonel Horia to be detained and triad by a court-martial, for a supposed or pretended desertion. A plan of some sergeants of the 10th infantry, in garrison in this town, has been discovered. I have not been able to ascertain what was their intention, but it seems the wart of pay, and the lemmas practice of (logging severely without any court of inquiry, is the reason. The same spirit of re. volt, and for the same motives, has =sites •ed itself in the whole army, the government having received communice tions from the *aerial generals commanding in the different ' provinces, that if money is not forthcoming they cannot be for the allegiance of the troops. The 12th Is- [entry, stationed at Guards, for the reason above-mentioned has revolted, and the greater part marched into Spain to join a Montemolinist band.

If half of the reports wore trim, this government was quite right in taking some proceedings. There is so doubt that Mr. Bally brought a correspondence, which, it is said, fell into the hands of the government not by a very creditable and con ititutional way; that Saldanha laid it before the Queen; that a council of state was aarimbled; that the Queen and her husband Undated upon the suspension of indivi dual guarantees, and the most severe measures ; that Saldanha had the greatest difficulty to calm her irritated temper, and he assured her, upon his honour, that, if left alone, he would take all the necessary measurers.

The only point on which all parties seemed agreed was their veneration for Robespierre at every mention of whose name one universal shoot of applause broke from the assembly. More than 2,000 persons wens present, and the Rue Montesquieu was so obstructed that the circulation was forbidden. It would appear from the occurrences at this meeting that the dimensions between the exialista and the red republicans which they desired to heal are stronger than ever. In the Salle Rotel', although the meeting was not so stormy a. the preceding, the revolutionary doctrines mooted were not lee. violent. An coveter declared that they did not want any president, and advised civil war. The people (be mid) had only to be determined and they would soon be maiden. FETE OF THE CoNsrirtviox.—The Prefect of the Seine has lammed the programme for the fete of the promul gation of the constitution in the department of the Seine en Sunday next; 200,000 fiance are to be distributed in money, and 100,000 francs applied to redeem goods pledged by the poor ; public concerts are to take plus at the Opera, the Jirdia d'Hiver, and other localities. Fire works are to be exhibited at the 11arrieres de l'Etoile and du Tr6ne, and the avenue of the Observatory and the Chimp Elysin; the Place de le Concorde, the Hotel de Ville, and public build ise are to be illuminated. BOULOONE, Nov. 19.—PROCLAMATION OP THE Co:genet - Hon.—This ceremony took place here to-day. At the porch of the old church of St. Nicholas a stage and ' canopy had been erected the day previous, the stage pro- jecting into the church itself. In this recess was erected the altar on which the ceremony of the benediction was to take pleat. At II o'clock the soueprefet, mayor, end the whole of the authorities arrived at the church, and immediately after the whole body of clergy were seen approaching. On their arrival the authorities and clergy mounted the stage. Mks a short address from the sous-prefet, the constitution wan read, end at the conclusion the cheering was very ge neral. The religious ceremony then took place, which occu pied nearly another half-hour. The whole of the national guard with their oxtail ry and the troops of the line then de filed before the authorities, and the ceremony ootcluled.

Owing to the crowded state of the river the loss of Chinese boats was dreadful ; it is said that near the foreign factories upwards of 1000 people were drowned. The weather appears to have been Null in the north of China. " Accounts," says the China Mail, "of the dis astrous consequences of the heavy rennin the north continue to arrive. Several rivers are said to have Mandated whole districts, and the most terrible ravages of the Hoang•ho are apprehended if the rains continua." SINGAPORE, Oct. B.—On the 19th of Sep tember, Colonel Butterworth, Governor of the Straits, re turned to this place after having made his usual tour through the Straits. On the 20th, Lawrence Nairne, Esq ,of Penang, was sworn in as sheriff-elect for the incorperated settlements. The grand jury at Singapore, on the sugges tion of Sir Christopher Rawboson, the recorder, bag recom mended that the office of sheriff be abolished, and that an inspector ef pri•ons be appointed in his stead As the duties and responsibilities rest with the deputy-ahrriffs at each of the three sett/ements, there is no use of retai iing the office of sheriff except for the emoluments attached to it, and which are always bestowed on some needy or greedy favourite. The criminal sessions opened on the 20th ult., and terminated on Oct. 2. The cases were light and of the usual character among Asiatics. On the 23rd the Spanish brig-of-war Ligero arrived at Singapore from Cadiz. This vend has on board nine Spanish gentlemen, who are banished to the Philippines for being rankels and obnoxious to the existing eovernment of Spain. Eight of them are freemasons—a worse crime in Spain than radicalism. The brig will remain here some time, awaiting the arrival of a steamer from Cadiz with marry poli tical prisoners. On the 23rd her Majesty's brig Espiegle arrived f. om Hong-Kong, and left on the Mth. Mr. Camp bell, the late acting chief justice of Hong-Kong, who, as the temporary successor of judge Ilulme, excited so much in fecting in that colony, is a passenger by the Espiegle to England. MALACCA, Ocr. 6.—At the beg:nsing of last month her Majesty's steamer Inflexible arrived at this settle ment, with several convicts transported from Ceylon for having t►ken part in the late outbreak. They were tried by a court-martial, and sent off to this place without being able to communicate with their flea& The brig Iluccanesr also brought on a number of convicts, transported for political offences during the Ceylon disturbances. One of these convicts is a European (a Sootchman). The American set tlement at Salengore, of which a notice appeared in the Daily News a year ago, is on the eve of being abandoned, owing to an imprudent act of the managers in supplying the Rajah of Salengore with Smarms, in contravention of the treaty with the British government. The Rajah, finding he had got into a serape, took means to stir up the Malays and Chinese against the Americana, and the latter have been forcibly driven out. The American gentlemen will lose by the adventure about 10,000 dollars. Sufficient evidence has teen adduced to prove that Mr. Weaterhaut, the assistant British rerident at Malacca, negotiated, or took an active part in negotiating, the arrangement entered into between the Americans and the Rajah, which hilt led to Mr. Wester haut's suspension. The affair has been reported to the Bengal government for its determination. LABUAN.—There is intelligence from this settle ment to the 26th of September. Sir J. Brooke had u rived at Sarawak, and was expected to reach Labuom during the first week of October. Our Singapore i.orrespondent writes : _ . " The news from the new colony of Litman continues to afford a discouraging account of the hcalthfoin-ea of the settlement. The Borneo or Labean fever has visited all who have remained on the island a short time; a great num ber of the Chinese labourers died, and the survivors MA to Bruni. Such was the paucity of labourers that the ship William Shand, with the housis, offices, &c. of the govern ment officials, remained at anchor without discharging, in consequence of the absence of coolies. Many of the Klieg coolies bad suffered from fever, and others had fled. So incomplete have been the arrangements for opening the colony, that articles of food were not obtainable. Her Majesty's ship Royalist, and the Europeans on shore, re ceived a temporary supply from the Auckland steamer. The Am l a (the captain of which died of Borneo fever on the lit of September), had been sent to Kimanis, in charge of ore of the: lieutenants of tho Auckland, in order to procure bullocks, rice, and other articles of food. The Lieut.-Governor, Mr. Napier, and his lady, who arrived at Lehi:twi r l the Auckland, in the middle of September, were in health, but how long they would continue so, was highly problematical, as their peons and domestic servants were nearly all suffering from fever. This unhealthiness is not surprinng : the island is, so stated in the Daily News • year ago, a continued swamp; up to the middle of September no steps had been taken to drain the island, hence the violence of the local fever and its great mortality. Coupled with the paucity of provisions (the crew of H.M.S. Royalist were, at the date of our correspond ent's letter, on halt rations), this malignant fever is difficult to overcome. Mr. Burns, having completed his arrange ments with the native chieftains at Bintuloo and Tauten, had arrived at Labium to meet Sir James Brooke, but was seised with fever ; his recovery was doubtful. The barracks for the troop, from Singapore were still on paper ; no steps had been taken towards their construction ; they were, however, to be got ready by the middle or end of October. The site selected for the can tonment is one mile distant from the projected town of Vic toria, the way to it being a swamp knee:deep of mud, over which a sort of road was being raised. Licut. Gordon, of the Royalist, had completed his survey of the coast of Borneo, or rather of the bay between Sarawak and Cape Sirick : also surveyed the months of the riven in the bay, and took the ship up the river Rejang, as also up the Si,iki, a small river branching off the Rejang; the latter river is esteemed the finest in Borneo, having sufficient water to admit of the largest frigates creasing the bar. Hay , ing completed a survey of the river, the Royalist proceeded towards Cape Sirick, and thence along the coast towards Point Barrem, where the Royalist's tender, the Breeze cutter, was caught in a squall, got into the heavy breakers end went down; she was subsequently got up, but the chro nometer, &c. in her was destroyed." COLONIAL. CEYLON.—The legislative council met on the 2nd of October. Lord Torrington In his opening speech stated that it " was hie earnest desire that martial law should be terminated without delay," seeing that " the pretended King has been captured, and that not only many of his par tisans and followers have been brought to punishment, but important disclosures made which will completely establish the wit of the originators of the late conspiracy." His lordship intimated to the council that " a bill of indemnity for all boors fide acts done by the constituted authorities dur ing the existence of martial law " would be laid before them. He made a favourable representation of the state of the re venue, but in vague and general terms. Lastly, he an nounced that " the entire expenditure of the colony, fixed as well as contingent, would be brought under the review of the legislative council." The council met again on the 4th ; the bill of indemnity was presented and read a first time. An ordinance for regulating the admission of advocates and proctors was also read a ant time ; after which Lord Torrington adjourned the council to the 16th. A proclamation was betted on the 4th to the effect that martial law would terminate on the 10th. The number of persons tried by special commission of participation in the insurrection was 120. Of these 18 bad been sentenced to death, 1 to transportation for life, 27 to transportation for various periods, 4 to imprisonment with hard labour, 62 to om7orid punishment with or without imprisonment, and 8 had been acquitted. The sentence of death was in every case commuted for banishment, and on the lot of October 37 et the convicts were embarked for Singapore. The pre tended King of Candy was taken at Mittens, on the 21st of September. Information of his whereabouts was given by a Kandian. He is said to have been gardener to Alms Diodliar. He is understood to have been liberal in his reve lations, as far as others are concerned. and to have impli cated all the bead men except six. Lord Grey's despatcries relative to the constitution and functions of the legislative council appear to have excited general and intense dis satisfaction. . . . Amongst other papers laid before the legislative councll are returns of courts-martial and their sentences, property sequestered, &c. From these we have made a selection, including all the trials ending in death :—Dingralle, the Cornegalle Pretender, was shot by senteace of court-martial, sth August, and after execution his body wee hanged on a tree, in a public place, in the neighbourhood of Kerne -1 pile, for four days ; another prisoner wee shot, August 8 ; another on the 18th ; another on the 25th ; another on the 26th ; another on ;Sept. 2 ; four on the 6th; four on the 14th, and on the 26th.

MARYLEBONE VESTRY.—THE PROPOSED NEW PRISON. On Saturday Mr. Williams's notice of motion re specting the taxation and expenditure came on, and attracted an unusually numerous attendance of members and strangers. The latter crowded the gallery. Mr. Bridgeman presided. Mr. WILLIAMS moved that a committee be appointed to inquire into the expenditure of the enormous amount of county rates imposed on the parish. He thought that the Tate-payers ought to know how the rates were disbursed, the mere especially as it was contemplated to expend 200,0001. ea the erection of a new prison, which job would have been carried out, had not the county magistrates defeated it. Ho wished to learn what was to be done with the new-fangled system of separation and silence introduced here from the Unit d States, where it was given up as a decided failure ? That had been introduced into this country by parties who wanted places. As a proof of its failure in America, the go vernor of the prison in Philadelphia, where it was first tried, told him that instead nf being reformed, those who had bent confined there returned four times to it. lie (Mr. W.) was astonished at the splendid appear ince of the New Model Prison, which was built and conducted after that in Philadelphia, and which resembled tke House of Lords. (Laughter.) The prisoners' cella were fitted up in a style of comfort that could not be found in one out of 100,000 cottages, and they were taught several trades under =eaten that were paid 1,7241., while their work only produned 1,6001. a year. Upon the same principle Reading Jail was built where the annual ex penditure averaged 681. a man. The 'tad of utticers attached to Pentonville received 7,3451., including to the lamp l:ghter, and 1871. to perscns fur cleans*. °theca, duties that should be performed by the prisoners themselves. It was prepared to build a second model-prison in lieu of Coldbath field', for which there was not any necessity, as there was not a better regulated prison than Coldbath-fields, where the prisoners only cost 211. each, and were more comfortably lodged than were her Majesty's Guards or the city clerks. As 138,0001, was about being expended on a lunatic asylum, anti as it was proposed to squander 200,0001. on a new county prison, he felt bound to move for a committee of inquiry into the income and expenditure of the county. Sir Perms Levata seconded the resolution. He said he held in hand a pamphlet in reference to the prison palace at Reading, and which very much resembled in appearance the House of Lords. (Laughter.) Hie friends, Sir James Hamilton and Mr. Charles Elliott, would remember that they had, as magistrates, once or twice received the thanks of that vestry for checking a recklessness in the county ex penditure, and he hoped thatthey should on this occasion be actuated by similar motives. The history of this silent sys tem was exceedingly curious. There were certain noblemen who believed that it was di sirable to do away with trarepor tation ; and they were under a notion that it was only to confine a criminal in a solitai y cell for a time to make him come out reformed. But what had been the effect of this sys tem? Hewes prepared to prove that it produced insanity.(Hear) Within five years there had been sent to 13etblehern,over which institution he (Sir P. Laurie) bad the honour to preside, no leas than 49 persons, six only of whom were out of county prisons, and all the rest out of government prisons, where the solitary system was in practice. The government had, to their honour be it spoken, abolished that system in the Millbauk Penitentiary, and had adopted what they called the " asso ciated" system. The bubble had, in fact, burst, and instead of sixty separate cells, they had now 320 persons sleeping in dormitories. As a proof of the dangerous effects of the soli tary system, be (Sir P. Laurie) begged to refer them to what Sir Eardley Wilmot said of the " exiles," for they were no longer convicts, received from the Model Prison nearly a year after their liberation. He said :—" I should say, from say own observation as well as the reports of other!, that they are depressed in spirits, and appear as if their mods and energies still felt the weight which their peculiar treatment at home appears to have produced." 'I his Act had forced itself upon the government, and now the associated system was adopted even at Pentonville before the prisoners were sent away. He begged to tell the vestry that with all this before them there was an attempt on the part of certain magistrates to establish a prison for the county upon such a principle, and he much 'eared that in the adjoining county of Surrey, which had no Marylebone vestry to call public attention to the aets of the m ig.stratee, the erection of a prison, taking that at Pentan e-ale for its model, would take place. It was a fact, as dated by Mr. Williams, that the keep of a prisoner in Reading Gaol was 511. per annum, and although the chap lain bad declared that those wholaad been turned out were doing well, it had been proved to be the reverse. One fellow, on being discharged, expressed his regret to the rev. gentleman, and asked him how he was to finish the " Ephe- Mane ." he soon found the way, however, for fie was shortly sent back to the gaol again for horse stealiag. (Laughter.) He called upon the vestry not to be lukewarm in this matter, for though defeated for the preterit, the reject was still going ondhaving been referred to a committee, and Mr. H. Rose had declared that the House of Correction should come down. it was the practice of Lord Althorp, when he brought forward a 'Leasure to say, " Is there much noise about it out of doors 1" and when he received a reply that there was, he would say, " oh, thou we cnu't go on." It was the thunder from without that had the effect, and he hoped the thunder item without would have effect in this instance. For the sake of the ratepayers' pockets, and for the sake of the poor, he called upon the vestry and all other parishes to denounce thin model prison and model system in that county. The attempt had been tried in the City of London and failed. When Lord John Russell was tho I Home Secretary the government offered the City 7,0001. out of the consolidated fund if they would pall down Newgate and rebuild it on the solitary and silent system, but they re fused. The fact was, that the gaols were made so comfort able that they would not get people to break stones or do any other kind of labour whilst they could go there. He did I hope the vestry would unanimously consent to the committee. Mr. Eimer, deputy-lieutenant of the county, and Major Sir J. HAMILTON, But., opposed the motion as unnecessary, because the plan of a new prison would not be tolerated. Mr. Bitoeunrore, police magistrate, defended the new model prison and the government prison discipline; urging, is the words of Burke, "That true economy does not consist in saving money ; but in the due and proper expenditure of money." Mr. STRPHINS said it appeared that 138,0001. had been voted for the New County Lunatic Asylum, whereas he had understood that the lowest tender which had been put in for the building was 186,0001., which was 28,0001. more than the sum voted for it. Now, if this was the ease, it was highly necessary for the painless to watch over the matter, ea, it the lowest estimate was 166,0001., the probability was that the actual cost would be a great deal more. (Hear.) Mr. Joszeit wished it to be distinctly understood that there was no reflection meant as to the honesty er integrity of the bench of Middlesex magistrates—(hear)—but, at the same time, he considered it was peculiarly the province of that vestry, which, on the part of the parish, paid one-seventh of the enure county rate, to inquire into the expenditure of the money so collected. (Hear.) It was true that the vestry had no control over this expenditure, and that the only power left to them was remonstrance. lie did not see any objection to the practice of teaching prisoners trades in itself ; but it was when they came out that the evil was felt, for they came into the already overstocked labour market, and frequently deprived the honest and industrious man of his labour. With regud to the comparison of prison diet with that of workhouses, he held in his hand the diet-table of St. George's, Ilanoversquare, and he bound that, whilst the poor had in that workhouse but fifteen ounces of animal food per week, the criminais in Pentonville Prison had twenty-eight ounces. (Shame.) This, he declared, was a pre mium offered for crime, and not at all calculated to make per sons dread being the inmates of a prison. The reason assigned tar this allowance was the depressing effects of a solitary prison, rendering the frames of the prisoners so preetrete, that un less kept up by high living and stimulants, human nature could not stand it. If that was the fact, then it was a monstrous pkce of cruelty. If eh_..emotiou were not carried, its thought the debate which had ensued upon this ques tion would not be without its heath." • & c o 'and with the attunes. so ^`.-"-`• .liebtoes .

He thought that. as it was 'proposed to erect a county prison upon the model of that at Pentonville, the honoure.le mover was perfectly ' in or d er i n showing 'the evils of that system, and hoped the motion would be carried.
