The construction of this prison does not admit that direct inspection from the apart - 1 , 6.0t, of the keep and other officers of the establishment, which priso 1101113 Al more recently erected expressly provide for. Since the last Report, a gallery or parsare has been completed, which is so connected with the central build ing as to form an easy communication with the several wards or courts, and it is so constructed as to afford at all times an unobserved inspection into the principal .courts, including those wherein the two large tread- _ wheels are placed, through small apertures concealed by sliders. Since the visit in 1823 this prison has undergone considerable improvements: several new classes with yards and day-rooms have been added, partly by taking in some of the garden ground within the boun dary Wall, and pertly by dividing the courts for the use of small classes. It is, however, to be regretted that more space can not be readily obtained for an increased number ofl night cells, which are much wanted. •The debtors also ;mar to require the usual classification of master and common side wards, there being at present only one department for both descriptions of prisoners. The *king yards are now neatly covered with gravel, in the place of garden beds; and during sukry weather their surface is occasionally watered, a practice found advantageous at prisons in warm situations. It is ex pected that the wooden palisade boundary to these courts will shortly be replaced by ore of iron. No share of earnings is allowed to prisoners sente-.eQ to hard.labour ; a considerable profit arises trona the work performed by the prisoners who work volunta rily I but there has hitherto been a loss on the grindinA at the treadmill, after charging it with the miller s wages and other attendant expenses. The amount of earnings from Midsummer 1823 to Midsummer 1824 was 6751. 16, _ _ There ate two large tread-wheels, one for the felons sad the' other for the miscirmimants ; and one other wheel, 4ivided into two compartments one used for the vagrants, the other for juvenile offer:tiers. 41 eery proper regulation is now adopted with re gard to . the working and resting men at the tread wheels, in the two opposite seasons of summer and win ter. In the former season, the prisoners work two thirds on and• one-third off, the wheel being at work ten hours; but its the winter, they work three fourths on and one 'fourth off, the wheel being at work eight hours; the in termediate tine is regulated in prpportion. The mill is employed in grinding for the prison and for the peblic, and in throwing up water ipso the cis terns of the prison. The diameter of the wheel is five feet; the distance between the step-boards is seven inches: the health of the prisoners has not suffered from the employment. There are fewer prisoners now on the Wheel than at any other time since its introduction. No females have been placed upon the tread-wheel in this prison for the last two years, the M4gistrates having resolved to discontinue the practice, as it is con sidered unfit work for women. They arc fully occupied in washing, mending, and making the prison linen, ice. The prison is very healthy : in the infirmary there was found but one sick prisoner. • The only alteration in the dietary has been the addi. tiQn cf 1 lb. of potatoes per diem to each prisoner em ployed. The cost of the weekly diet is 2.1. 111 J. per head. The chaplain is in daily attendance at the prison. He reads morning prayers, and performs duty twice on Sundays. The school for the juvenile prisoners is super. intended by the chaplain. Rules, ae prescribed by the Act 4 Geo. IV. cap. 64 have been printed and adopted. Irons have been dis used generally in compliance with the etatute, and no particular instance hu since 0CC9 11 14 IQ requite their application. Tt.e commitments for some years hare appeared to hlcrt ate very considerably, but principally in the classes of debtors, poachers, smugglers, and disorderly women. The laws against these three last classes are probably rn••re severely enforced now than heretofore, which may in pats account for the increase of commitments. 'quinces not unfrequently occur of benfit arising from the attention paid to the instruction as discipline of the prisoners. The small local jurisdictions within the county all contribute to the county rate, and send their prisoners to the county gaol except the town and county of Poole, which has a separate jurisdiction and a prison of its own.

This prison contains three divisioos, with an airing yard to each ; one for debtors, one for male crinsinals; and one for females. Pounding oyster shells sad pick ing oakum are the usual sources of employment. One, pound and a half of bread is the. daily allowance. Prisoners charged with heavy offences are ;moved' to Dorchester, to be tried at the county assizes; all other, prisoneri are tried here.' The sentences are remarkably short in duration ; a sentence of three months imprison-, neon is the longest term that bat occurred for some time past, and it is stated that the Magistrates have the result c,f experience to prove the advantage of their practice in this respect, accrinses are of rate occurrence, and comsvitment to the gaol is said to maintain its ter ror. The police of the town, it should also be observed, appear s to be well attended to,which when viewed in col 'section with the wording observation is an imp:nasal consideration. The prison appeased clean and orderly: sherd ware but three prisoners at this time; two felons and one misdemeanant. __The inttoduotion of the improved hand-wills fat grinding corn would be useful, and preferable to the j resent employment. .

Dudley Castle, from which this distinguished and mu.' nificent Nobleman receives his title of Earl, was ancient days the residence of his Lordship's ancestors on: the maternal side, the Batons of Dudley ; but now its. ruined walls exhibit no genre than a memento of for met grandeur. These reins are, however. objects 'of the higher interest, and cannot be beheld without exciting those reflections on the mutability of human • greatness which a contemplative mind is so apt to indulge in.— They stand on a rock of limestooe, and comma d• most extensive prospect of, the' shrrounding Comedy. The grounds *titbits the Castle walls present a satiety of beautiful and romantic scenery ; and the walks, which are laid out with great taste, are kept in perfect order. The Castle itself • was founded about the year 700. " The 'name of its founder," we are told by Ph Booker, from-'those Histolical Account of Dudley Castle"the following brief notice is taken, 88 is variously spelt, as Dudde, Dudoond Dodo. The Habingdon Manuscripts only mention him as "a famous Saxon, who raised a strong fortress here, which remained until the Conquest.' On w hat account the strength of the fortress was then reduced, the record ekes dot state ; neither is thire any positive inf o rmation respecting the successors.of ihe founder, until towards the close of the Saxon Heptarchy. This Castle, like the whole ream, then changed its Lord. Concerning its last Saxon possessor, the Domesday Book of the Norman despot contains ibis brief memorial--- , hoc an terruit Edvinus comes —Earl Edwin held this manor:" of which he was afterwards dispossessed, but whether " by force or by death, no document informs us." Dr. Booker, however, inclines to the opinion, that Esri Edwin was deprived by William the Conqueror of this possession, for. having• been a participator with a powerful N a-thefts - Chief, Mar car,in a formidable insurrection against the King in 1068. The next proprietor of the Castle was Williain Fox Ansculph, to whom, according to Erdeswick, the Con queror " gave five-a n d-twenty'Lordships about Dudley, and created him first Baton of Dudley." In the reign of Stephen, the Castle was in the possession of • Gervase Paganel, who then fortified it, and held it for the in terests of the Empress Maude. From the Pag creels it descended through marriage to the Someries; and from the Someries, by failure of issue male, in the reign of Edward 11. it went to the Buttons. Through a long line of that family, the Castle and domain devolved to John de Sutton, who, in, the reign of Henry Vlll. was artfully deprived of his title and rights to them by . Viscount Lisle, Earl of Warwick, afterwards Duke of Northumberland. To John de S mon succeeded his son and heir, Edward, who, in the reign of Queen Mary, "obtained such favour as to recover by letters patent all the property of whiclibis father had been defrauded ; such property 'having devolved to the Crown by the attainder and consequent execution of John Dote of Northumberland." From Edward de Sutton this pro. pc. ty, consisting of the Castle and Priory of Dudley, with various other lord-hips, manors, and edeowsons in Staffordshire, was transmitted to bis grand-daughtee,l Fratmes. who became Baroness Dudley in ter owe right. She manic] Humble Ward, Esq. who, in 1644,' was created Baron Ward, of Birmingham, and dying in 1670, was succeeded by his son Edward, who on the death of his mother in 1697, inheriting both titles, be came Lord Dudley and Ward. On the failure of male issue in 174.0, by the death of William fourth Lord Dudley and fifth Lord Ward, the Castle and estates de volved to Fiances, his sister, who having married Wm. Lea, Esq. of the Grange, and her two sons dying without male issue, the title of Lord Dudley became in abeyance between their Sire sisters; but the Barony of Ward devolved on John Ward, Esq.. of Segley Palk, a great grandson of Humble, the first Baron Waron Ward, on whom his Majesty. in 1763, con ferred the title of Viscount Dudle and Ward by patent. He was succeeded in the title by his eldest son, John, who dying in 1788, without male issue, was succeeded by his halt brother, William, a nobleman of the most kind and beneficent disposition ; on whose death, on the twenty filth of April, 1823, his 'only son, the present Earl, became the inheritor of his titles and possessions. His Lordship was born on the 9th of Au- gust, 1781, and is consequently in hisarth year. Dur ing the civil wars, Dudley C)stle, being a royil galri son, was besieged in 16 S 4, when, after a resistance of three weeks it was relieved by some of the King's forces from Worcester, who, with trifling lo• tbeinselves, are stated to have slain one hundred men cf the Pacliainen 'tary army, and to have taken several prisoners and standards. On the 10th of May, 1646, the. Castle was surrendered to Sir Wiliam Bierc ton Commander of the Parliamentary Forces, by Colonel Leveton, Gover a nor fir the King. Alter tl.e Itestoretion, the Castle was to some degice restored to its wonted magnificence, and the Noble Family continued occasionally to reside lin ire till, 4g, is related by Dr. Bl4cer, " it was (except its massive walls), totally destroyed by a ;rah disaster. ,This occurted on be Vlttb of July, 1750, when confla gration rapidly consented that work of ruin which the mighty hand of time and the violence of war had failed to accomplish, On the evening of that day, it,was die revered to be mile, and the means for extinguishing 'conflagration nut being then so efficient as now, the flames raged with unabated fury, during three days and nights, till whatever nes.tombu.stible in the 'edifice . was destroyed." The principal seat of theEail of Dud ley is at Hanley, about sic miles from this wan, where the ' most efiensive alterations and additions to it More fur some time been in pro,aress.

The defendants were committed to the House of Correction for twenty-one slays. Thomas Tack, the the driver of a hackney-coach, was charged by Ann Caroline Mallets, a woman of the town, with having assisted the driver of another coach, do rubbing her of nine sovereigns.— Another coachman, named I ienry Berry, and Julio Davis. a water man, who came to the Office so speak for the prisoner, were also. charged by the prosecutrix as accessories. It appeared that the. proiccutrix took the heckney coach Nom Holborn, at a late beta on Friday eight, and directed the coachnia.n to drive bet to her locking, in Paddington. She was in liquor at the time, but suffi ciently sensible to perceive that she was driven in a contrary direc tion. instead of proceeding to Paddington, she was conveyed to Drury-lane, where the coachman pulled up at a public-house., and insisted epon.a treat. Tuck, the prisoner, and the coachman plied her with gut, and after Miring to several public-houses, and drink- Mg at each, the coachman palled up at the stand in Charles-, Street, Covent Garden, at three o'clock in the morning. She was here desired to alight, and was then surrounded by the three pri• goners, the driver of the coact, who has midst yet been apprehem Jed. and several other men. They pushed her about, and she swore dietiuctly that 'fuck held her by the throat, while another of the party robbed her of her money. Berry and Davis were pre sent, and assisted in sobbing her.

Saturday the driver of a Paddingtoo stage coach was summoned by Johnson, the informer, for having driven his coach furiously along the New-road. Johnson's witness stated that he was passing along the New road no Wedoesday morning last, when he saw the defendant driv ing on the wrong side of the road.. At the time there was another stage coach (which is an opposition one), and the coachman was conducting three ladies to it, when the defendant wilfully drove against it, and the jerk almost upset the coach on the ladies, who ran great risk of losing their lives. The Magistrate asked tf the ladies were present ? Johnson—Nn, Sit; they are is the country, but witlattend if thc case is postponed. klagistsate--The conduct of these coachmen has becomes public nuisance, and must be put a stop to by some means or other.
