B•aoN Proarr, when presiding ontheCrown side of the Court at Croydon on Tuesday, had toliaten to • strange tale of a convict's experiences. The re port of • criminal trial which then and there took place informs us that one THOMAS Jsavis, • tailor, aged 43, who " seemed to be quite • cripple, and " who had to limp into the dock upon crutches," was charged with an attempt to do some grievous bodily harm to Mr. WruLtir Moss, a Scripture reader at the Woking prison, the establishment where the prisoner was confined. From the evi dence given before the Court, it would appear that on the 29th of Jane last the prisoner was confined iu one of the " refractory " cells of the Bison, and that Mr. Moss went to visit him for the purpose of imparting religions instruction and oonsolation to a man in distress. Without the slightest reason, and without giving • moment's warning, the prisoner, who had been sitting on the bed by the side of Mr. Moss, " shifted towards him and " made two stabs at him, wounding him near the " wrist and at the back of his arm." The wounds bled • great deal, and Mr. Moss had to be attended by Dr. CAMPBELL, the medical officer attached to the prison. For this very grave and unprovoked crime JARVIS was committed for trial, and on Tuesday last appeared in the criminal dock of the Croydon Court, where be displayed the fluency and readiness of tongue of a professional advocate. Extraordinary, however, u was the crime, the defence was yet more strange, and still more won derful to read are certain parts of the evidence which were brought forward by the prisoner on his own behalf. It would appear that JARVIS com mitted the offence with the aoleintentiouof exposing what he calla "the cruel and diabolical practices" to which he and his fellow convicts are subjected, and that the conduct of those officials under whose charge he was, drove him to do what he had done, " for the purpose of escaping from the h►nds of " those whom be looked upon as his intended " murderers." "The public," so the prisoner declares in his defence, "are led to believe that " the convict system is just and merciful, and that " means are afforded prisoners of • moral and " religious reformation. But this," he declares, " is far from the fact," and when a convict leaves prison, "he is ten times more the child of hell than " before." This, of course, is mere ex park state ment of a man who has been four times convicted, and in eight prisons since 1849, and once sentenced to twenty years' transportation ; but still in the evidence given before the court there was enough to prove that in more than one instance the prisoner, when suffering from • most painful com plaint in the prison infirmary, was treated with great and needless harshness, if not with positive cruelty. The principal warder of the refractory ward at the Woking prison, as well as another warder, called GEORGE UNDIEWOOD, and Mr. Dios, the Scripture reader who was wounded, all gave evidence, upon cross-examination by the pri soner, that the latter had, during the eight years be had passed in the prison, " always behaved " civilly and respectfully," as " • prisoner should "do towards an officer." One of these officials deposed that he was in charge of the refractory ward, and that whenever the prisoner had been brought there it was for complaints made of his conduct in the infirmary. On the other hand, the same witness gave evidence upon being cross-examined, that on one occasion the prisoner was sentenced to six months' penal class diet, when he was in great pain and confined to bad from inflammation of the bladder, and that for two months he had been obliged to live upon a pint of milk and twenty ounces of bread a day, the other food which was given to him being most hurtful to his complaint. This witness—Guiana UNDERWOOD, one of the warders—said that the prisoner had asked for other food, on account of oatmeal porridge being injurious to his complaint, but that the me dical man had refused to grant his request. Dr. CAMPBELL, the medical officer of the prison, admit- tad in his cross-examination that the prisoner was suffering from spinal disease, as well as from chronic inflammation of the bladder ; and also said he was aware that he had lived for two months upon no other food than a pint of milk and twenty ounces of bread a day. But with all this he did " not see anything in the eau" which would justify him in altering the food given to the pri soner, and also considered that he was " scheming " as much as he could to get off being paniehed." The jury do not seem to have sided with the prison authorities in this cue, for they acquitted JARVIS of the felonious part of the charge, and found him guilty only of unlawfully wounding ; ! and for this offence he was sentenced yesterday to fire years' penal servitude. Granting even that a great deal of this hardened criminal's plausible statement in his defence cannot be proved true, and ad mitting that a considerable portion of it is mere ex parts, there appears to have been more than sufficient evidence before the court to jus tify the Rohn Srcasxnav in ordering a rigid in vestigation into the management and discipline of the convict establishment at Woking. The pri soner has made good his assertions so far as it was possible for him to do so, but there are far more grievous charges against the officials in general— and against the medical man in particular— behind. Throughout his defence the prisoner makes complaints against the prison authorities, which Gun oannot permit to pees without so Sir disown' IRE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 3, 1865. inquiry. To pamper and indulge criminals is no I doubt • most pernicious error, but to treat them with cruelty is • crime, and one wh' all English men, by instinct as it were, would au punish. To give a man afflicted and; with inflammation of the bladder and tee the spine—as this convict is prov —oatmeal porridge to eat, andege the food when asked to 10 so,• ugh it must have aggravated greatly the more painful of his two complaints, was pos►tive cruelty. Nor was it less cruel to allow a man whose illness required • certain amount of generous nourishment, to subsist upon a pint of milk and twenty ounces of food for • period of two months. Whatever may be the crimes of our prisoners we pride ourselves that they are treated with humanity ; at least it was always believed that anything like cruelty was unknown in our penal establishments. But ' . it would seem that at Woking a new system of convict treatment is under trial, if not by the governor, at any rate by the doctor of the prison. One of the practices asserted by JAxvis to be com mon at Woking is almost too bad to be believed, and until further evidence can be produced the public will refuse to give it credence. The prisoner declared that one part of the system carried out at Woking is that no prisoner is allowed to sleep for more than two hours. "At " the expiration of that period," he declared before the court on Tuesday, " an officer went round the " prison and knocked with his keys at every cell, " and if any prisoner does not answer, the " officer goes in and pulls the bed clothes " off him and awakes him." Other peculiarities in the discipline of the prison the convict said he would refrain from further alluding to, as ladies were present ; he " would merely say " that the most unnatural enormities were con " stantly practised without any attempt being made " on the part of the officials to put a atop to " them. He had," he said, "made a repro " sentation to the governor of the sbomi " noble practices that wore going on, and " the result was that he was punished for " making the complaint." Now, it is more than possible—it is tolerably certain—that THOMAS Janvis, re-convicted ticket-of-leave man, sod under sentence of six years' penal servitude for the crime of uttering forged notes, may be one of the most accomplished scoundrels in England ; but in the first place that is no reason why he should be treated with cruelty ; and in the second he made three accusations in open court, where, if they were able to do so, the prison authorities had every possible facility of contradicting what he said, and of proving the contrary upon the best of evidence. Why did they not do so 1 If they imagine that their silence will help towards hushing up the business, they are greatly in error. If the nation has erred on the side of indulgence to convicts, it is no less true that it would certainly not permit any cruelty to be exercised over the unfortunate outcasts by three who are in authority over them. The British public does not wish to provide silver forks for prisons, nor to feed prisoners upon venison and turtle ; nor will it allow men under penal sentence to be kept short of wholesome food, or tortured for two months with nourishment barely sufficient to sustain life. It is only necessary to read the evidence of the warders, and the defence of the prisoner Jaavis, as published in the law report of our yesterday's impression, to feel that the Home office is called upon to institute a full inquiry into the discipline of the Woking convict establishment. * a iT INTILLIGENCE. , .

Of course as long as that worse than useless institution in the Place Beauveau, the Bureau de la Preece, exists, the members of it must now and then do something for their salaries ; but I am quite sure the time is at hand when these gentlemen will only be wanted to translate articles of English newspapers for the benefit of official personages who cannot read them in the original, and not with • view to anything so ludicrously absurd as the seizure of an Englib journal in France. His Majesty, a Plombibres letter staters gave a grand dinner three days back at Foal& Dorothrfie, a picturesque chalet in the neighbourhood, to about thirty of the guests taking the waters. The baud of the Casino was ordered to attend, and in the evening dancing took place on the green. The guests returned to Plombibres at nine in the evening, and finished a pleasant day by a ball in the bath-house saloons. & curious incident occurred in the performance of sleight of hand given by IL de Ceston before the Emperor. The exhibitor offered a pack of cards for General de Bdville to select one. Everyone probably knows what is meant by • "recom mended" card ; the speculator appears to choose one freely, and yet only takes the card which the conjuror intends, and which he afterwards names. "General," said the Emperor, laughing, "I have no oonfidenee in you; you are perhaps a confede rate." "If your Majesty would deign to choose one," proposed M. de Canton. The Emperoor took one at hazard. "The Emperor could only have taken Casar," said the magician, showing the card. It was the King of Hearts, which in the French packs is always represented by the Roman Em , peror. LNAUGURATION OF THE WELSH MEMO RIAL TO THEILATE PRINOR OONBORT.

He towelled in an open chariot drawn by four horsed and was scoompanied by Sir Charles Phipps and two other gentleman, one of whom was said to be the Prince of Leidagen. The royal party entered Tenby by the Pembroke road. A few minutes after the appointed time (six o'cloek) • signal gun fired from the battery of the Ist Pembrokeshire (Tenby) Volunteers, followed by a royal salute, announced the arrival of the royal visitor within the precincts of the town, and shortly afterwards the carriage cordials( his royal highness, with Colonel Phipps and the zest of his suite, was seen approaching the Gatehouse HoteL There w at this time in waiting to receive his royal highness at the hotel, the Bishop of St. David's, Lord Llanover, Mr. Lott Phillips, ALP., Colonel Stepney, the Mayor of Tenby (Mr. White), attended by his macs-bearer, end Mr. Make (one of the town council sad secretary to the memorial com mittee), other members of the corporation, magistrates, he.

Almost immediately beneath the windows is Chile Hill, 'en which the monument to his royal highness's lamented father stands, waiting till the afternoon to be formally untamed by kis royal soy. The frost of the hotel is handsomely adorned with fags, the royal standard occupying the place of honour in the midst.

The memorial worsts of • status of the late Pries Consort, 8 ft. 9 la. high, carved from a block of the finest Sicilian marble. It stands upon a pedestal 18 ft. high, which is famed 'army marble (the native limestone of the district), and has four severed panels of Sicilian marble.

MOVEMENTS AND CONDITION OF THE ARMIES. 0017THAMPTON, Amway 3. The Royal Mail Company's steamship Oneida, with the above mail, has arrived here. She brings 89 passengers, 14,8811. in specie, 10 pack ages of diamonds (value not stated), and 1,786 packages of cargo consisting chiefly of tobacco, cotton, coffee, ipecacuanha, and tapioca. The British war-ships Egmont, Martino, and Gleaner were at Rio. The great naval engagement between the Bra zilian and Paraguayan squadrons resulted in a complete victory of the former. The details of this bloody naval engagement show that both squadrons fought with great heroism. The battle lasted from 9.30 in the morning till six in the evening. Both combatants exhibited great bravery, and the slaughter is described as terrific. The Paraguayan fleet was composed of 8 steamers and 6 boats, mounting 80-pounders, and also a battery of 40 rifled cannon. The Brazilian fleet numbered 9 gunboats. The engagement occurred three leagues below the city of Corrientes. The loss of the Paraguayans was very great, and their fleet all but annihilated. Upwards of 300 men were lost by the Brazilians, including 19 officers. The city of Corrientes was deserted, most of the population having fled to towns lower down the river. The main army of the Brazilians, 17,000 strong, was en camped on the banks of the Uruguay, in Esturios, and on the 0011fillei of the Brazilian territory another wing of 14,000 men. A body of Para guayan troops, 20,000 strong, having desolated the province of Corrientes, burst into the Rio Grande, swept the banks of the Parana, and were now marching through the province. News from Rio de Janeiro announces that the Emperor, accompanied by the Duke of Saxe and the Minister of War, departed for Rio Grande on the 10th. The condition of the Brazilian army in the South was unsatisfactory, typhus and dysentry making sad ravages. The ambulances and hospitals were badly supplied. At Bahia the sugar market was quiet ; freights 335. to 40s. for the Channel. At Pernambuco sugar was unaltered, and cotton advancing. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. 1110* ous ovnt 001 PARIS, WEDIZIDAY Evinnia. The Moniteur of this morning reproduces, with out comment, the telegram from London, affirming that Austria had made a series of most conciliatory professions to Prussia on the question of the Duchies. Ido not find, however, that the news, which would be very important if true, meets with any attention, and I do not believe it. The Monifeur du &pie, in reference to the recent pro ceedings of the Germanic Diet, contains the follow ing observations : Apropos of the new 'middens the question has Imo waked in the alensaaic Confederation how the Plena (O. vernment will oppremiste the policy of the German Cabi nets. The mower is indicated by the lies of wooded which it has invariably pursued in the anterior phases of the question. Whomever Trance bee bees asked to express an opinion, she bu referred to the natioul sentiment of the populations, and she continues to wish well to that combination which may be the mat ocusfornsable to that prisoiple. This is merely the old shibboleth ; and the reite ration of it signifies nothing intelligible. Spain is in a most unsettled state. The progressisias are not satisfied with O'Donnell's liberalism and mean to make a great bid to get the affairs of the country in their own hands. I think it likely that simultaneously pronuneiamentos of a serious character will shortly take piece in favour of the party of which Prim is the most prominent representative. The Monde and other catholic journals flatter themselves that O'Donnell will be overturned by the clericals, but to this notion the French government journal, the Pays, replies this evening as follows : If the catholic party in Spain is so strong as represented, why did it ant keep Narveez in power? The answer is that it was impassible, because the correct of liberal ideas wu strong, and Manna O'Donnell himself only adopted • programme dictated by circumstances and imposed by the march of event& We defy the Monde to evade this objec tion which is not one of our making, but one propouoded by &fait ecoostpli. If the religious party is so blind as to foment • new egltstloo in Spain, the only consequence will be • new cheek to itself and a fresh ser►ice rendered to Ito adversaries. The Opinion Nationale says the melancholy news is in circulation that the Luxembourg gardens are about to be Elaussmanoised, i.e., converted (at least in great part) into streets. It hopes the pro ject may not be carriel out, but affirms that the plans exist, and adds that the neglected state of the gardens justifies the alarm felt on the subject. In conclusion it begs for a communiqui if the news is not true. An old man, known by the name of Bourbon- Leblanc, has just died at Lyons, where be was registered as dead in 1793, having been condemned with missy others by Collot d'Herbois to be shot to death. He was brought out for execution and shot at, but only received a slight wound in the arm.
