On the 26th of May, 1823, .there were 869 prisoners in the Penitentiary ; of whom 101 were sentenced to transportation for life, 57 for fourteen,•and 711 for seven years. 'There does not seem to be a just proportion in the two last sentences, as five years im prisonment is a far different ratio of punishment to seven years sentence than seven to fourteen. Your Commit tee are inclined to believe that the smallest term was selected in Conformity to an opinion expressed by Mr. Howard, viz. that 'five years sentence should be the mi. nimum of imprisonment do the Penitentiary system. " The question of term of imprisonment is one of great difficulty ; the points to be aimed at are evidently, first, the selection of a scale of punishment Which may strike terror in evil doers, Aid operate by example in the prevention of crime; secondly, the term of confine ment should be sufficiently long to insure a change being effected in the evil habits and opinions of the pri soners ; thus uniting the example Of the punishment to the reformation of the offender.

The evils to be avoided are—the making the persons under confinement objects of general sympathy, diverting the censure of the Pub lic from the prisoner to the law that punishes him ; and, secondly, the length of imprisonment; thus subjecting the prisoner to a longer period of mental and bodily punishment than is necessary, either for his . reformation or the example of others. •flu Whether the term in the" sit ;instance is too long,. Jour Committee will not take Upon themselves to dsl lerthine ; yet they cannot avoid suggesting the prcl prie.ty of a reconsisleration of the subject, and perhags oil a review of the whole question, its advantages and its evils, it maybe found by experiencu that long im sonment is unnecessary for any paiisliiiient, either re garding it as exemplary or re formatory, and a reduc tion of the scale may prodtice -all . the 'salutary ends the Legislature by the former mutt:tents had in its con templation to effect. It appears to your Committee, that the class of persons most fitted 'for this establishment are those whose misfortunes, more tharr their moral turpitude, or; confirmed habits of crime, had subjected them to sentence of the law. Young persons of both sexes offenders for the first time, the victims to. artifice seduction, and all the various shades of early gai " which the severity of the law punishes with the sentence as morehardened criminality, offenders of tldi description should find here.aprisost in which habits or industry might be learnt, *oral and religious feelinkr inculcated, and at the espiraticiu of their terms of cok• finement the prisoners might ise •returned to, theif friends and relations corrected and reclaimed, or if des titute of both, they may have acquired within the wails of the.prison such habits and ways . of industry as mpy enable them to gain their livelihood, And secure them from falling a prey to the pressare of want, or the art of the fraudulent and designing.

With this objcct in view, OW 5 0 T - -- - - HE progress of MERIT, although freq uentl y as sailed, is sot impeded by Ewe and DETLACTION. The ag gression of ambuscade terminates in defeat ; and conscious rectitude ultimately trhimpbs in the attainment of the grand object—public approbation. The test of experience is the guarantee of favour, and has established WARREN'S BLACKING in g eneral estima tion: of which there exists not a stronger proof than the tacit acknow ledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a spurious preparation as the genuine article, to the great disappointment of the unguarded purchaser and manifest in jury of WARREN, whose character and interest by this iniquitous system are equally subject to detriment. It becomes therefore an indispensable duty to CAUTION THE. PUBLIC against the mantxuvres of Unprincipled Venders, who having no character to lose, and stimulated by avarice in their nefarious pursuits, aim at the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honour! The original and matchless &Acne° bears on each bottle a short direction, with the signature AU others are counterfeits; and in many instances the Imposition labels are artfully interhoed with a different address, to very small characters, between the more conspicuous ones of " No. 50; and ' " STRAND." It is earnestly recom mended to Sho p keepers others who are deceived by base fabrications of WARREN'S 1 1 BLACKING, to return the &meted trash to the source from whence it came, and expose the machinations of rascality to merited obloquy. WARREN'S BLACKING is surpassingly brilllant;l:it se cludes damp; gives pliancy to the leather • retains its pristine virtue" in all climates ; and, combining elegance leather; comfort, Is anorticie equally of indispensable fashion and utility. Said by every respect able Vender in Tows and Country, is bottles, st id. 1 1116 od. and Itkl. each. , Upon a review then, - gener — ally, of the Penitentiary system as Isere established, your Committee are deci dedly.of opinion, that the east cost, that has been in curred has not been spent in vain ; that this place of con nement, though one of very seveee tiunnhirient, re forms while it corrects; and that its proper alication is to that class of prisoners whose offences have brought them under the punishment of the law, but whose hearts are not hardened by guilt, and whose characters are not destroyed by the repeated perpetration of crime. Your Committee have learned with much satisfaction, from his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State,"that in consequence of the punishment having been increased by the disease now prevailing in the Penitentiary, and which has affected nearly every prisoner within its walls, his Majesty has signified his gracious intention of gran frig a remission of ttie terms of imprisonment to the piiseiers now confined in- the Penitentiary, according to ;the following scale:—to those originally confined, for flee years a remission will be granted.pf one year: to those confined for seven years a remission of one Yeai,aud a half; and of two years to those confined for ten years. In consequence of the verdict or an Inquest on the body of Charles Thompson, deceased, in the I'eniten tiary, which set forth, .. That the said Charles Tisptnp son being a prisoner in the said.,Cseneral Peniteptty l i on the 2tills of June, 1828, then departed this' life i the effects of solitary Confinement. ! and idle 'want of the common necessities-of life during his resident' iin the said prisen- since the 29th of June, /822 ;"—Yobr Committee gilt fi t •to summon .the Coropellthst orenian of ie Jury Wore thons. as well as " the stir eon and other • ers pf the Penitentiary . rom thaievi— oF denFe of th Foreman, it appears that the Jdry was unanimous n the finding of the verdict i that they con-1 sidel-ed the deceased to have died in consequence of his cotifinettient in January las% and of a disoase brought :oniry ittsufficieftcy of food.

As you filled' that situation at the period when this disease was at its height, will you iotbrm the Committee what you should consider to have been its cause?—l should think insufficiency of nourishment, and want of proper air and exercise, the chief causes. Was it not in July that the new dietary was est*. blished ?-I believe it was in July. Did you consider the old dietary as sufficient?--t thought, with the Committee of the Penitentiary, that it was rather too much. ' What iymptoins were there among the prisoners of its being too moclil-A fulness bf habit. In point of feet, did it not Happen at times that pore tions of this food was not even eaten by the prisoners? —Sometimes. And the effect triton - the general health of the pre. miters was plethora?--.Yes. . . Is it within your knowledge; that a great deal of food was carried out of the prison, potatoes for instance?—. Potatoes I.believe were. As not being wanted by the prisonet s 2—Yes. Carried away in the pig-wash?—Yes. When the new dietary was established in Julf hist, were you consulted, and your opinion taken upon the change ?,liet in July. . . When was it first taken ?—On the 18th of March, 1822; I had been however consulted upon the subject of the change of dietary, by different Memberi of the Committee, for a year or two previous to their applying to me officially for my opinion, in regard to what re duction the then existing dietary could beat, with due regard to the health'of the prisoners. Did 'you propose to the Committee any alteration in the dietary?—ln consequence of their application to Me op the 18th of March, r 822, I addressed alettet to the COmmittee, dated the 22d of March ; in,which letter I stated, that I thOught the then existing diet' tai heNti high; I stated my reasons why it should not'lle'red4tied too much, and those observations were followed bykhe scheme of diet which I submitted, with deference teethe opinion of the Committee; after this, my letter floes on to say, that the question involves some serious considee rations, and Hound it one of vet y great difficulty to answer precisely; I therefore suggested to the Com mittee, the propriety of consulting some meJical men Of science in this town on so important a sable; as making any great alteration in the dietary .r the rim t ‘Dr soners ;in that letter I mentioned • the ' ~ .es of .
