It is no )esi the interest than the duty of every Go vernment, to take care that 'the individuals who by the laws are subjected • to imprisonment, do not, by the effect of that sentence, become worse members of society, or more hardened offenders. It is also of much importance„ - that prisons should be so managed that confinement in them May be an object of terror, and- *rate as real' punishment open thcise for whom it is so intended; at the same time that the exercise of all unnecessary severity is restrained by wholesome regulations. With a view to these objects, the means of a judicious classification of prisoners, and of con stant employment and labour are necessary; and your Committee are of opinion, that it will be proper to secure, by law, the providing of such means, in every county prison, and in every other prison in which by charter or otherwise, prisoners of various classes are allowed to be confined.

The greatest difficulty which your Committee find to stand in the way of the establishment, generally, of a proper system of prison discipline, arises from the existence, in almost all parts of the country, of many very small prisons, belonging to places in which there is a local jurisdiction. The Returns printed by order of the House, in 1819 and 1821, present many particu lars relative to such prisons; and your Committee have also obtained some further information, by means of , some queries addressed by them to different Magis trates, the result of which they have given in the Ap pendix to this Report.

THE only Depot for this usefnl Sp: ing and Autumn Alterative, is No. 52, Berner's-street, Oxford -street, where i: is prepared according to the recipe of the late Mr. Swainson, 4.ntrasted his nephew and successor, Mr. Thomas Canham, alone. Among all the Medittines of this denomination, the EG ETA BLE SYRUP of DE VELNOS has obtained a ilistinctier. which its efficacy alone can support. It corrects, c uri!'...-s, and sweetens the Blood ; and those who are afflicted with Scrofula, Leprosy, Scurvy, and many of those melancholy diseases :rising from impurity of the blood and juices—those who suffer from diseased liver, and for the dissipations and indiscre tions of their yonflt, should submit to a regular course of the VEGETABLE SYRUP. The effects of this Medicine are such as not to interrupt either business or pleasure; it operates on the animal juices, and requires only the common restraints of moderation in diet. It is dissolved in the chyle of the stomach : is conveyed lay the circulating fluids, and corrects their tendency to all those diseases which originate in vitiated blood. It is a safe, though a powerful substitute for mercury, and removes those evils which an unsuccessful use of that mineral occasions. The Syrup is sold at the Proprietor's house, No. 52, Berner's street, Oxford -street, at 13s. a bottle; aud, by his appointment, at Mr. Atkinson's, 196, Bishopsgate-street Without; and by Mr. Canham's other Agents in every considerable town in the United Ningdom ; and the Concentrated, - r warm climates, by his deputed Agents in the East Indies, viz.—'Messrs.

The Commander of the Forces desires that a copy of these instructions be circulated front the Brigade Oflce, to the posts add stations dependent upon your comnund. (Signed) G. 11. FA G AN, Adj.-Gen. Whereas it has appeared that during the ceremony deno minated Suttee (at which Hindoo women burn themselves), certain acts have been occasionally committed, in direct opposi tion to the rules laid down in the religious institutes of the Hindoos, by which that practice is authorised and forbidden in particular cases, as, for instance, at several places pregnant women, and girls not yet arrived at their full age, have been burnt alive ; and people, after having intoxicated women, by ad ministering intoxicating substances, have burnt them, without their assent, whilst insensible ; and inasmuch as this conduct is contrary to the Shasters, and per fectly inconsistent with every principle of humanity (it appearing front the expositions of the Hindoo law, delivered her pundits, that the burning a woman pregnant, or one having a child of tender years, or a girl not ar rived at full age, is expressly forbidden in the Shysters, and also that the intoxicating a woman for the purpose of burning her, and the burning one withrfut her assent, or against her will, is highly illegal, and contrary to established usage), the Police Dar-nails are hereby accordingly, under the sanction of Govern. ment, strictly enjoined to use the utmost care, and make every effort to prevent the forbidden practices abovementioned, from taking place within the limits of their thannaks ; and they are further required, on all occasions, immediately on receiving in telligence that this ceremony is likely to occur, either themselves to proceed to the spot, or send their Mohirrir or Jemedar, ac companied by a Burkundaz of the Hinds° religion, to learn of the woman who is to be burnt whether she has given her assent, and ascertain the ether particulars abovementionid relative to her age, &c. &c. In the event'of the female who is going to be burnt being less than sixteen years of age, or there being signs of her pregnancy, or on her declaring herself in that situation, or should the people be preparing to burn her, after hiving intoxicated her, without her conaent, or against her will (the burning a woman under any of these circumstances being in direct opposition to what is enjoined in the Shasters, and manifestly an act of illegal violence), it will be then their duty to prevent the ceremony, thus forbidden, and contrary to established usage, from taking place, and require those prepared to perform it to refrain from so doing ; also to explain to them, that, in the event of their persisting to commit an act forbidden, they would involve them selves in a crime, and become subject to retribution and punish ment ; but in the case of the woman being of full age, and no other impediment existing, they will nevertheless remain on the spot, and not allow the most minute particular to escape obser vation ; and in the caseof people preparing to burn a woman by compulsion, or after having made her insensible, by administer ing spirituous liquors or narcotic drugs, it wilt be then their duty to exert themselves in restraining them; and at the same time to let them know that it is not the intention of the. Government to check or forbid any act authorised by the tenets of• the religion of the inhabitants of their dominions, or even to require any ex press leave or permission being required previously to the per formance of the Act of Suttee ; and the Police-oMcere are not to interfere and ;overmany suth act from taking place. And, lastly, it will be their duty to transmit immediately, for the information of the ikjegistrates, a full detail of any measures which they may "have adopted on this subject ; and also on every occasion, when within the limits of their than:mho this ceremony of' , Suttee' may take place, the same being lawfully conducted, they will insert in the /Monthly Airports. (Signed) " G. IL FAGAN ? Adjutaut-Giaeral.". It appears that, in many cases, the funds applicable to the maintenance of these local prisons, are of a na ture which precludes the possibility of erecting a pro per prison, or providing the means necessary to a good system of discipline ; an,d the number of persons com mitted in any one year to some of these prisons is so small as to make it very doubtful whether it would be proper to expend the sum necessary for these purposes, and whether the existing evil may not be remedied by some legislative proceeding of a different nature. At any rate, it is evident, that any general measure adapted to the regulation of large prisons, must be, inapplicable to such small places of confinement as are here referred te ; and before any specific Measure. with respect to these can be safely adopted, further information appears to be necessary. Your Committee therefore recommend, at present, the.passing of an Act for the purpose of enforcing a good system of prison discipline in all large pi isnns; they have been engaged in the consideration of a Bill, which they consider calculated to effect this ob ject, which they have instructed their Chairman to bring in, without delay. May 7, 1822.. 11. The Report is followed by an Appendix, containing the answers to queries sent to the different jails in England, (Dur ham, alfiddleser, Monmouth, Gloucester, Huntingdon, Lancas ter, &c. excepted, the returns from those places not having been made) respecting the separate jurisdictions of the prisons ; to what offenders they extend, whether debtors, &c. whether there are any prisons, separate from the county prisons; out of what funds the expenses of the buildings and prisoners are paid, and general observations? It occupies twenty-four folio pages. MARTIAL MUSIC IN RUSSIA. A singular species of music delights the Russian ear, and, at a distance, produces a grand effect, even to strangers. Forty tubes, each producing only one note, are committed to the management of as many per formers The leader of the - band beats time with his foot, if in a chamber; in the open air a small drum is employed to regulate the intervals of sound. No written music is used ; but practice has produced such precision in the band, that with the tubes or horns fine modulations are executed. Reverberated by the air, in a situation sufficiently remote, one would imagine an accomplished orchestra " dis coursed sweet music." The Emperor's band consists of three hundred horns. The Regiment of Guards has also a fine set of performers on those primitive instruments, and in calm summer nights, during which a soft and uniform twilight prevails, a sail upon the Neva, accompanied by another boat with a band of horns, is an exquisite luxury for the auditory nerves. Luotow.—.At the Chamber Meeting of the Cor poration, on MOnday last, Mr. CHARLTON gave notice that hp should proceed immediately by Ono War raito against Sir WATKIN W. WYNN, Bart. who, he stated, was illegally a member of the body, not being resident within the limits of the town. Mr. CHARI.• TON, in signifying his intention, spoke as follows: " I feel myself called on to declare that' my motive is only to restore to thil . 604 their rights and .pri vileges, and to confine them thereto as their charter dii ects—a motive that is founded on. ancient right, on justice, nation law, and cannot, therefore, be dis puted by any one who profesaes, to ueltold eilher . the one.or the ether.

Their two erildren were going to bed. Thq 6 rst words he uttered were scandalous and abusive. His wife endeavoured to soften the violence of - his feelings. Moindrot exclaimed in a - feta:us tone, "It u no use to trifle;" he then drew fi-om r -his pocket a large pair of steel compasses, such as carpenters have for their work, and said," You shall not survive me" at the same instant he struck the unfortunate womau on the left side with the compasses, the points el which were extended. One entered just below the" left pap, the other glided between the body and arm, and occasioned only a slight scratch. The voice of the wife was heard in all parts of the house. She celled " Help!" and " Murder l" Her two daughters (the eldest sixteen and the youngest eleven) ran to • fetch the neighbours, who soon entered the room.--. Moindrot was standing over the body of his wife, and had drawn from his pocket a pistol, the muzzle of which was placed in his mouth. It missed fire, and he drew out a second, which he also put in his mouth and wounded his right jaw. In the interval a neigh bour had conveyed the wife out of the room; she went down one flight of stairs, but her sttength fail ing, . she fell and rolled to the next landing place.— The Surgeons were successful in their endeavours to save her life. At first she refused to make any der claration of the facts, and only said' she saw two pis tols in the hands of her hu§bairtl. She was carried to the Hospital of St. Louis, where she recovered. - Moindrot being taken to the Hdtel Dieu, was soon cured.- They tonnxlsitt-the roan where.this unfortu nate scene occurred, a letter that Moindrot had writ ten previous to the murderous attempt to his father in-hu.v. He declared his intehtion to deprive himself of existence, and revenge himself upon his wife. He confused that he wrote the letter in the shop of a Marchand de Vin, where he drank until he was in toxicated. His object was to acquire sufficient reso lution to do the deed. • -The pistols he purchased for the purpose of destroying himself after killing his %%ife. He charged the pistols with pieces of ball cut v. ith a knife. Moindrot alleged as an excuse the had manners_of his wife, but he knew that his suspicions were not founded upon any positive fact. ,-, . ~ : ,, ,,. -t - • , A number of witnesses proved that the conduct of the prisoner's wife had been irreproachable. : The Advocate who defended the accused, con tended, that the wholeof his conduct was the effect of insanity. . The Jury not only gave a negative to the question, whether the prisoner was guilty of premeditated murder ; but they decided that the crime had been committed under mental derangement, and gave a verdict of—kiwi/tel. The verdict, which 'excited surprise in part of the audience, occasioned a most indecent expression of triumph in another part. The ,clapping of hands con tinued several minutes, and the PnSIDENT ordered the arrest of all persons guilty of the indecorum.— One of the offenders said—" It is true I have ap-• plauded, but it was joy which occasioned the act." A letter from Leghoi n, of the 22d ultimo, says : g , The English here have just had, a great loss:, the Governor of this town is dead. With him the Eng lish were great favourites, and he studied every means of being useful to them. ITheil a boy, he had been a Midshipman in the British Navy, and had ever since retained a high esteem and love to everything belonging to our nation: he delighted in serving the merchants here, and rendering them comfortable. He was tallied to-day with military honours. Ano ther source of his liking to the English was; : that his wife's parents were English, though she was born hem. We are all afraid of having an Austrian Gover nor. The whole British factory attended his funeral."
