Jeremiah Chitteuden, the elder, and Jeremiah Chittenden, the IMPROVEMERT Olf PRISON The Committee of the Society for the Itrproyeinent of Prison Discipline, and for the Reformation of 4111Ve.• Offenders, have just published their Seventh Re port, with an Appendix. The Report extends to 144 pages, and the 'Appendix and Supplement to 411. The former is a very able and valuable Discourse, to whieh we refer with great satisfaction, as containing some ex (vilest observations on the present state of the Criminal Law and Prison Discipline in Raglan's,. It is observed, towards the conclusion of the Report, that " it is the pride of England that she can refer to a long line of Jurists and Philosophers, from the Mos. trious Sir T, Moore, the first advocate for mercy in ; cruel age, to the lamented Romilly, the greatest legal marmot of our own, who have thus instructed and adorned mankind, enlightened the darkness of the past, and dispelled the prejudices of modern times." We should rather be supposed to say, that it is to the dis grace of England, that the apathy and opaque .preju dices of her sons should have yielded so little to the 'appeals of her long hue bf eirrettated 'Jurists, Mtn her Criminal Law is yet aMong the most barbarous in Europe, and her system of criminal procedure so ab surd as to be the jest of Europe. "Uto no object (as the Committee express themselves) can the random of the Legislature, and the power of public opinion, be mote beneficially directed than to the reform of the Criminal Laws and Institutions of the country"--.and if " of law it may, indeed, with truth, be said, that her voice is the harmony of the world; all things, in Hen ' yen and on earth, do her homage; the very least as feeling her care, and the greatest as not exempt from 'her power"—is it not singular that this paramount eta- Oct should be still in such a backwatd state in this ;country ? The Committee observe, in esplanation, that vast and immeasurable as is its importance, the ame lioration of jurisprudence has been hitherto but say little indebted to the arm of power. Unhappily for that interests of mankind, nations have bees absorbed in extending the boundaries of dominion, and is, the goes tionable objects of political ambition; ar.d to these sic lions of fahe glory have been often sacrificed the arts cf Government, and the welfare and happiness of social life." "It may well merit consideration," say the Conazik tee, " whether certain parts of the judicial procedure, _ which has been for ages established in this country, is the committal of persons for trial, be not open to ob jection, and calculated to increase rather than diminish the commission of crime. The nature and amount of punishment is wisely decided by-the law alone. If it be right to take from the aggrieved the power of ap. portioning the penalty, it is not less so to prevent him from determining whether punishment of any kind shall be inflicted. This power the law of England gives to the injured party, by imposing , on him the burden of enforcing its penalties. Thar proceeding, a is well *sows, involves both trouble and expense. Deposio dons are taken before a Justice of the Peace, and on hie decision alone it depends, whether the accused be at once discharged, held to bail, or committed to prison till the day of trial. But although the law rests this discretionary power in the Magistrate, he is not required to belong to the legal profession to be competent to the analysis of evidence, or to possess that description of knowledge which is often indispensable to thediscovay of innocence, and the detection of guilt. Should the imputed offence not be bailable,or should the party not be able to obtain bail, he is detained in the gaol until the nest Assizes or Quarter Sessions; when, after an imprisonment, perhaps, for several month, the pro- , priety of putting him on his trial is at length determined by a Grand Jury. No evidence, however, is then received on his behalf, and he is, consequently, often seat to the Bar of Justice, when the hearing of his defence would have procured his immediate chschaege; a fact placed beyond question, by the numbers even tually acquitted by the Petit Jury. If the n knesses be not in readiness, the risoner is liable, under certain eh coon; stances, to be confined until the following gaol delivery. " It is obvious, then, that the law chtrfly depends for its execution on the will of the aggrieved. TM* ground of reliance is neither favourable to morals, nor honourable to legislation. It is frequently the occasion of injustice to the accused, while it fails to afford ade quate protection to the public. li the prosecutor act upon the strength of his feelings, they are apt to magnify his injuries and inflame liss pat:ions. In a moment of anger, a man is charged with an offence, committed to prison, and after a long confinement discharged, because the pro secutor has overrated the importance of his evidence ; or, because his resentment having subsided, he declines to prosecute. Thus, should be relent, and be willing to forfeit his recognizsnces, a criminal may escape, and the justice of the country be set at nought. This di:- position is considerably strengthened by the delay and expense to which a prosecutor is subject, which present to him strong temptations to compromise the interests of justice for the restitution of his property. If the great end of criminal judicature be the prevention of crime at the least cost of personal suffering, the superiority of the Scottish over the English system of procedari, in the trial of ordinary offences, will be at once mani fest. This superiority consists in the immediate relief which is afforded to the prisoner, who has in England to await the decision of a Grand Jury. In the years 1821, 1822, and 1823, the average number of per sons annually tried in England amounted to 10,843; and the average number discharged by the Grand Jury was 1,696. In the same years there were transmitted to Edinburgh, for the opinion of Crown Counsel, 1,768 cases, of whom 385 were immediately liberated. Than, in England, two out of fourteen were saved the dis• grace of a public trial by the Grand Jury,. after an average of three months' imprisonment; while in Scot land, two out of eleven were immediately liberated. But in Scotland, an additional number of 413 casts were referred back for immediate trial, and these indi viduals also escaped the further punishment of impri sonment before trial. The benefit of the legal judgment of a public prosecutor, may be further estimated by the fact, that in England the acquittah are to the convictions as two to seven, while in Scotland they are as one to seven; a difference that can only arise from the Grand Jury sending to trial double the number, or twice as many cases of defective evidence, at would have been seat by the public prosecutor." The following extract is from " Van illelen's Narra tive," a work which we have recently noticed in our columns. Van Halen describes his treatment after examination, and a few days preceding his being con ducted to the chamber of torture; The excessive agitation of my mind, and the thirst which tor. mented me during the whole of that night, and which I was unable to quench, owing to the seemingly intentional neglect of the jailers in leaving the jug empty, which was usually filled with water, pre. vented thy taking a moment's repose. My humour, soured by the treatment I received, showed itself to those by whom I was guarded, and did not fail to bring back upon me their displeasure, whisk they had the power to make me feel in a thousand different ways. Don Marcelino, who, as I have already observed, was less fit to exercise the violences belonging to his dike than his companion, did not come so frequently bra the followlos tier as be ►ad bcca in the habit of doing; so thee I wa s obliged to endure the presence of Don Juanita, ewe during any dingier, which be contrived to render as unpleasant to me as had been the sitting of the preceding night. Wearied of hearing so many insolent remarks, I desired him to bold his peace ; but this had a contrary effect to what I expected. Assuming more than ever an air of ►umility, be said with his usual feminine voice, which, coming from 11 tall and corpulent man, nude him appear very ridiculous, " He will gain nothing here who behaves ill to us : we have a remedy for every disease. f recollect that when I was still a boy, and the father-in-law of Don Marcelino, the chief jailer, there was a French jeweller confined in these prisons, who was a most pertinacious heretic. He took it into his head to deny every thing to the Holy Tribunal, and to behave uncivilly to the jailers; and finally refused to take any food or see any one. One day, oleo his dungeon was to be cleaned,and himself removed to another, the jailer, on opening the gates, found him armed with a log of wood, which he had torn from the side of the bed, and with which be threatened to knock him down, if be attempted to enter. Per haps, you imagine," he added, with a satisfied air, "that that gebusho had his own way, and was left there to die, cursing like a renegade, and without confessing his crime? Not so, indeed; the jailer locked the doors without attempting to disarm him, and in formed the fiscal of it, who, immediately caused six soldiers to cone from the square of Santo Doningo, close by, where a corps di saris was stationed ; and first administering to them the oath of secrecy, ordered them to the dungeon of the heretic to ware him. The first of the soldiers who went in was knocked down by the French man ; but Dun Marcelino's father-in-law, who was a man of un common resolution and resources, suddenly armed the soldiers with lighted torches, which proved more useful than their bayonets or any other weapon. No sooner these men commenced dabbing hie (ace with the lights than that son of Lucifer remained a moment stupified, and the next was rolling on the gr00..,d. No resistance after that ; he waa as quiet as a lamb, whilst a strong pair of fetters and another pair of 'moults prevented his skewing his tricks again, though at last he died of despair, without manifesting the least contrition; so great was the inflames which the devil exerted over his soul" Alloll7 ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED ACRES.

My feelinp had been wrought up to such a pitch, that when Me companion remained alone with me, I could not refrain from exclaiming, " Would to Goa I could one day see this place reduced to ashes !" At these weeds he fixed his eyes on me, but remained silent, and his silence was that of an honest man; for never did the Inquisitors express a knowledge of my imprudent anathema, though, as Don hunk° bad informed me, even on that day, the jailers of the Holy Office were obliged to report to the 1 tribunal all that the prisoners uttered.— Vex Halais impriostansent at Me Dungeons iil'ihe NEW AND UNIQUE PREPARATION OFCARBO- MATED EFFERVESCING CHELTENHAM SALTS. rrils incomparable combination of all the solid contents of the celebrated Cheltenham Springs, producing the immediate disengagement of Carbonic Acid Gas, on the simple addition of Pure Water (a process never before effected), is now presented to the Public with a degree of confidence proportioned max ant 1 approbation it has already received from some of tie most distinguished Members of the Profession, as uniting the meows qualities of the Waters at the Fountain Head, with the peculiar Saline Ingredients of the Springs, and thus producing the lent active, though mild and agreeable substitute foe the Chel tenham Waters ever produced by Chemical Science.
