Extract of a letter from the Berwick, Jeffery, from London to Van Dieman's Land :•••- ig On the 23:h March, 180, we made the Island of istan da Cunha, in South lat. 37. 6. West lon. 11. 44. and sent the boat ashore, which returned to the Berwick at midnight, with the intelligence that a man of the name of Glass, Lire a corporal of artillery, has been living there since the year 1816, and he has now with him, on the island, twenty-two men and boys, and three women : t wen ty- s i x -i n a ll, w h o are living there in comfort, having great plenty of pigs, goats, potatoes, cabbage, &c. a few cows, lots of fish, and excellent water. Ti.ey kill immense numisers of seals and sea elephants, and they send the oil and skins in a small schooner to the Cape of Good Hope. They had about thirty tons of kidney potatoes to dispose of, and Cor poral Glass promised to send a boat load to the Ber wick next mottling by day-break. They stated that the adelkorage is very good in S.W. winds, and that it bears faun the cascale about a mile N.E. and in fifteen dr twenty fathoms. They expressed their readiness to render assistance in watering us in their own boat, and we intended.taking in a large quantity. Unfortunately, at four next morning the breeze freshened up with very thick weather, and the swell increasing, Captain Jeffery thought it most prudent to bear up and make sail.— This little island of Tristan da Cunha is only nine miles in diameter, ami it has a mountain about 8,500 feet high, which se saw at a distance of fifty miles.—Glass and his people described the island as very fertile and healthy, and they said that to make it a Paradise to them, they only tequired a few more women.—The in telligence that we could be supplied w ith vegetables as well as water at Tristan da Cunha, was a most agree able surprise to us."

It appears from the lllonitcnr, that an iriterestirg Report on tie State of Pr irons in Fiance has been drawn up by M. Barbe-Mar bois, as the-organ of a Society fk r tire linprraiement of Prison Discipline. It comprises only the departments of ancient Normandy; but the remarks are of general application, and contain several allusions to the system of Prison Government in Eng.- land. One of the first ob :ervations of the author of the Report is, that the prejudice generally prevalent against anonymous complaints and denunciations, should• not apply to prisoners. His system of inspection has been to hear each prisoner, who had any grievance to state,. separately and secretly. He dwells with particular emphasis on the mischief of such punishments as stamp lasting disgrace, and he strews that a very large propor tion of crimes is committed by convicts returned from the galleys. " The degraded man," he says, " thinks he has a right to become the enemy of society, because it disowns him." 0.4 e of the principal objects being to promote habits of labour and industry, which are syno nimous with moral iroprovemert among prisoners, we shall state the mode adopted in the French prisons. In order to give a stimulus voluntary rather than compul sory to labour, an interest in the produce of his industry is given to the prisoner. So it is in England also, but the distribution and details are different. In France, the produce of the day's labr•ur is divided into fifteen parts—of which the contractor who supplies material , „ tools, &c. takes three. The remaining twelve are di vided into three equal parts, of which the contractor again takes one—and the two remaining are distributed one to the prisoner, as pocket money, (denier de rode) at the end of each week, to be at his free disposal—the other is reserved, and given to him on his leaving the prison. M. Barbe-Marbois remarks, that without the allowance of the proportion given to the prisoner as pocket-money, the most effectual stimulant to industry would be wanting. There is in this report a notice and opinion on the Tread-mill. The author requested the Prefect of the Seine, wirokapperred to visit London, to obtain and remit all the information he could collect respecting the operation of this mach'ne. The evidence of Magistrates and Surgeons in this country was ac cordingly transmitted to - the Society at Paris. And though the weight of testimony in favour of the ma chine was over whelming, yet its use in France is strongly deprecated by the author of the Report. Perhaps, he says, the spirit of liberty and independence, which acts so powerfully on an Englishman, may render this in- Istrument expedient to prevent his mutinous temper from revolt. But in general the French are too much dis posed to submission, resignation, and fear, to require it. He accordingly deprecates the introduction in France of a cruel invention " fit only to figure in the Code of Dracut' We shall add one cbser vation more. He proposes interior colonization instead of transportation beyond the seas. The number of pi isoners at present in France is 41,307—0 r in the proportion of I to 778. THE COTTON TRADL.

The subjoined address to the King was moved and carried in the Iloitse of Assembly of Lower -Canada, in their sitting of the 4th ult. Ti) TIIE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. Most Gracious Sovereign, We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, your Commons of .Lower Canada, in Provincial Parliament assembled, humbly solicit your particular attention and paternal benevolence in favour of your faithful subjects the Clergy and people of the Established Church of Scotland and "this province, and in favour of your other faithful Protestant subjects, dissenting from the E aa- Wished Churches of England and Scotland. respectfully represent to you, that since Canada has become a portion of the vast and flourishing em pire over which long may your Majesty reign, emigra tion to this country has constantly been much greater from Ireland and Scotland than from the other parts of the empire. That the causes which have produced that effect continue, and still probably continue to act in fu ture, and will produce the same result, so that there is every appearance that the members of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland and the Dissenters mill continue to be, as they are at present, much more numerous than the members of the Church of England. That it is with lively satisfaction that your faithful Commons can assure your Majesty that no feeling of religious animosity has disturbed harmony and concord among your subjects of the various religious persua sions in this province, and we are persuaded that the most effectual means of perpetuating among all a spirit of peace and charity, and the same sentiments of de votion and ,gratitude towards your Government, is to extend your Royal favour and protection equally by, just laws, the same for all. That. the advanced state of civilization and knoMr ledge has convinced aY minds that the principles of re ligious toleration ate xn imprescriptible right of man kitid,. and ought. to be exercised in the fullest manner. Snd we have seen, with sentinaents of the liveliest gra titude;those principles reduted into practice in the pro vince durin the whole reign of your late august Father, of happy memory, and during your Majesty's reign, by several Acts of the Imperial Parliament, and especially by the Act con qi:uting the Government of this province. By this Act one-seventh of all the lands to be granted in the province is reserved and set apart for the support of a Protestant Clergy ; a proportion which, if it could be construed as being reserved far a single ecclesias tical establishment, would enrich that Church in a far greater proportion than any other Christian Church has 'in any age or country been enriched. That those reserves which might hereafter become an, endowment much too opulent for the support of a single ecclesiastical establishment, not having hitherto, from, their situation in parts of :the country as yet thinly peopled and unimproved, given a revenue, its disci ibu-* tion has not as yet given rise to divisions and rivalships among the Protestant Churches in the province. But your faithful Commons see with disquiet and sorrow, that the time cannot be remote at which so happy an order of things must be disturbed, if the interpretation which-some persons endeavour to give to the said Act were supported by the constituted Authorities in the provinces, and its liberal provisions were construed in a narrow unfavourable sense, as if what appears to have been enacted for the benefit of your Protestant subjects bad been done exclusively in favour of the Anglican Church, whose members in this province are, comp. ratively to those of other Protestant Churches, among the least numerous. That by the Act of Union between the kingdoms of England and Sccitland their respective Churches have been acknowledged as true Protestant Churches in the territory of each of the said States; and the subjects of the two kingdoms were put upon an equal footing of re ciprocity so as to enjoy in common the same rights, pri vileges, and benefits. That it results from that dispo sition, that when your subjects of either kingdom emi grate into any of your colonies, some of them ought not to be entitled to civil advantages from which the others would be excluded, which would be the case if your subjects of the Church of Scotland had no other resources titan their personal and voluntary contribu tions for paying the Ministers necessary for their reli gious instruction, while your subjects of the Church of . England would be freed from that expense by these re serves,.if by law they had been set apart in their favour exclusively, out of the territorial property in this province. Your dutiful Commons conceive that the true sense and meaning of the said Act gives an equal right to the clergy of the Established Church of your kingdom of Scotland to participate, •in common with that of the Established Church of England, in the advantages an d revenues which will arise from the seventh of the lands which have been reservei for the support of a Protest. ant Clergy ; and that if the Midisters charged with the religious instruction of the very numerous class of your faithful Protestant dissenting subjects,have not an equal right to.participate in the revenues which those land, might produce, they have e.;lttable claims for some participation in those revenues, in consideration of their utility with respect to the religious instruction which it is just to facilitate ,to a class so numerous in this pro vince, as th a t of your dutiful Pr otestant subjects dis senting from t h e E s tablished Churches of England and Scoiland,..mho, in consequence of that separation, a conscientious tine on their part, justly authorized by the laws, ought not be excluded from civil advantages, nor from any act of royal munificence and protection which other classes of your faithful subjects enjoy. • • - - . may.. . . . . i. • . _ a ' -- . . . . . . . • ...I.' - ..... . _ . _
