On the 2ad of November Dr. Winn called at this office, an hisd MOO that, on Noshing the deonsed's trunks siege death, a letter had been discovered addressed to his wife in which he announced his iotentiae to commit suicide, and that with this letter was • pecked contain* acetate of morphia.

The body was in coeseq uen ee exhumed, sedan tared was held on the 3rd sad 16tb of December. In hie depositiou before the caroler, Dr. Winn stated th death at for tie three or four weeks immediately previous to his the patient had been coosiderably better, both in mind and : body, and that be had bees permitted to walk out dose on his pools ; that, on the day of his death, he bad made a I Meaty diaper at 3 o'clock ; and that soon after 4 o'clock be was summoned to • bedroom near his room. when be 'food him lying in • bed with etertoroos 1 lesething, slow pubis, lase of C0000i0911130111 and the pupils 4 of his eyes dilated. symptoms of discoed brain •,' and r that hi ' saw him for • few minutes before he death.'

Mr. RON • medical practitioner, deposed that 4 he had made a poet mortem examination of the deceased , leg failed to discover any signs of effusion on the brain, to which Dr. Wino had attributed the death of the palleat.

Mr. Crooke stated also very distinctly that, owing to the rapid decomposition d the drug, no tans of it weld have been dimmed had the quantity taken not exceeded one grain per day. The jury, without hesitation, retorted the followi verdict t—' Died from the effects of morphia taken by him ien la • state of ineauity.' It thus appeared that Dr. W was in no way justified in coming to the conclusion that the patient had died from natural cause? On trary, all the eircumstanees bad seemed te point to the probability of his having committed suicide.

This morning was issued the eleventh annual report of the directors of convict prisons in Ireland. We read is this document : " AS the regulations with respect to the treatment and to the progress of the wavier thrcugh the coarse of sepa rate =canalised. the claudication of the ordi nary prisons, end thence to discharge on lien= through the intermediate prisons, and the control of supervision till the terminatios of their sentences, have continued to operate satisfactorily. The proportion of the number of convicts paring through the intermediate prisons, usually from 70 to 76 per oust. of the whole, has continued to be =retread—a result which meat be coesi dared as satisfactary when it is known that no re convicted prisoner who bee been disarmed from an intermediate Fel -1 son is sgain admitted to its =vantages, and also that pet mere movie:eel of the more grave description of crimes ar e eperally excluded.' The practice of brisgiog imme diately to the notice of the directors every air of a suspected discharged convict in the county or borough gaols, with • view to full identification sod to the notification to the judge at his trial (if so identified) of his previous convictions, bee become so complete that it seems scarcely possible for a discharged convict to escape re cogaitioc on recommittal. The recognition of habitual criminals has become the more important from the clause in the last Penal Servitude Act, which requires that every second °Deviation of fro= punishable by penal servitude should be dealt with by a seetesce of not lees than omen years. It this remit of a second =aviation were invariable, the effect =old be more deterrent with habitual offenders; betas in some cases an option appears to exist of awarding forewarn offences of felony either imprisonment or penal servitude, that • esateroce for an it may still =Name of felony proved to be a repetition, may be far lighter than that pronounced on the former conviction; and habitual criminals are not slow in discovering sad looking forward to such chances of reaping the higher penalty for an off sacs. There can be no doubt, however, that the criminal clam is aware, in a wholesome degree, of the increased severity of the last Penal Servitude Ant. Its bearing in that respect has been fully impressed upon all the =evicts dis charged si ncets =ratios, and no doubt kelps to strengthen resolutions that may be formed in their minds from other motives not to subject themselves to ita heavier penal ties. The provinces of tie new act have not req forceuired any material change r the ;system previously in in this country for dealing with cater* while they have strengthened the hands of the enthorities by their s tringency . on points mob as the registration and supervision of convicts on license, which required foe their full efficiency to be made thus general end impera tive. The clan= which requires that on the revocation of a license foray] criminal offence the prisoner shall un dergo an additicoal period of penal servitude equal to the time for which be was at large on license, will doubtless have • very beneficial effect on the conduct of the limner holders till the last moment of their sentences. The ge neral coeds= of the convicts has been satisfectory, and free from any attempt at combination against discipline or otherwise_ The operation of a preen system worked by marks, and bag= and claesificatioo, leading without nocertainty to stated advantages, according to the primmer's observance of what is required of him, is found to be a groat safeguard spirit emnbination—the prisoners feeling vidually that each has a strong reason to give, intelligible even to the evil-die who may attempt to mislead him, for not risking, by •mining in evil acts or designs, the lose of the progress that e may already have made towards the full alteismint of the reward held out to good conduct end industry. Happily theme actuated by insubordinate diapositioes are not found to fens a prominent proportion of the convicts is the With respect to such prisoners it wee r emarked, bet year's annual report, that ' Strong measures ere oresokieally seeessary to repress individuals of this class, end to deter, by example, °thereof them from acts of gross miseeoduct ; and for these objects it was considered neer eary, early in the year, to have remorse to =moral ividual pmiah meat in two eases of premeditated assaults by ind prirems. Those are the only instances in which this de \ seription of punishment has been resorted to for years in the Irish convict prisons, the penal elate, in which prisoners of proved evil dispositions and conduct have been kept sepa rated under more stringent diniipline horn the rest of the prisoners, having been found in general sufficiently repres sive. In the shove exceptional cases there was Teas= to be lieve that the continued disuse of corporal punishment wee calculated upon by the offenders, and an example became therefore more necarry.' In the latter part me of the put year the directors coosidered it proper, for the sa . remise, to ceder the infliction of corporal punishment on one l of the convicts who had been guilty outrageous and en !provoked assault upon a fellow and the =Seers who ; attempted to secure him, which has been the ooly 0001400 I for • repetitionof this mode of punishment.
