CAPII'4I. PUNISILVENtS. The following is the preface to the published speech of Lord Lansdowne, added by the respect. al►ic Society for the Improvement of Prison Disci. pline : " The Committee of the Society for the int. provement of Prison Discipline, and for the Refor mation of Juvenile Offenders, have determined to give to the Public a corrected copy of the Speech with which tbe Alerquis of Lansdowne prefaced his motion, in the Muse of Lords, for various papers and accounts which might supply essential information as to the present state of the jails and other places of confinement in England. This proceeding the Corn• militia have viewed with peculiar salisfaclion: they rejoice that Ibis important subject shoubl have at tracted the attention of the Legislature; they know that accurate information alone is wanting to secure the adoption of remeli3l measures ; and all their hopes of future ithyrovement are strengthened, from the firm reliance which they, in common with the country, repose in the abilities, discretion, and perseverance of the Noble Marquis, who has thus taken to himself an honourable precedence in this laborious and weighty, but most beneficial undertak ing. Nor is it less encouraging to reflect upon the man ner in which this motion was received by the Secretary of State for the Home Department, who, from his official situation, must of necessity be more intimately acquainted with the details of the subject, and be deeply impressed with its supreme importance to the welfare and happiness of the country. Lord Sid mouth not only gave his cordial assent to the motion, but declared his wish that in the ensuing Session, a Committee of the Douse of Lords should be appoint ed, to take into consideration the present state of the prisons, and no doubt suggest such measures as the investigation might allow to be expedient.— This Committee will sit under the moat favourable auspices, having the assistance of his Majesty's Go vernment, and commanding all the public avenues too information. Rational hope may therefore be enter , tained that a new era will commence in prison disci. Aline; that abuses Inherent in the present system, sanctioned as it were by loug costom, so famiiiar to those employed in the management and superintend , ence of prisons, as to excite uo surprise and scarcely arty . attention, will be examined and' developed ; ganduct or *silenf neglect no longer permitted to de. ;felt the ensis of punishment, and render prisons t esere detrimental to the Public and the individuals ;seined, then even impunity for crime. We may hope that the present state of the lawsiaif le laves. tigated, their deficiencies pointed rint and upended, acrd a better provision made for their due execution. " The undertaking will require much time and laborious attention, but no insuperable difficulties can be apprebeeded. 'there is nu difference of opi• nion as to the principles upon which prison discipline should be foondeA. All the leading mans have 114. 1 ceived the sanction of 00 Legislature, ie Peniteis.' tiary Acts pissed 30 yini t aince; and orb:I/ever theta, Acts have been carried ialst execution, pr t &niter' system prevailed, the beneficial consequeices been proved, and universally recogtsised. No soap' can doubt of the superiority of Bury and Ilcheeteir q , Jails over Guildford and the Borough Compter ; or I deny the certain and inestimible•adtentsges which would arise from the general introduction of the ha mane and beneficial systeci praeltsed in the two former establishments. The 'Oases #llsting in litany of our principal jails, and istricialifin the metropo lis, required but to be knOstn to be reprobated; and, ak ranks of society are now unanimous in their call for investigation and reformation. All now perceive, that it is their interest, as:WeftSi their duty, to pro- Mote the introduction Otdiscipline intb the jails sod places of confinement; that . by 04604 the due administration of,pnnishment, end r'ciiiding against the evils of contamination, the security of persons and property is consulted, and that the noblest offices Of humanity and the dearest of jectS of self-interest are inseparably united. The Committee of this . flOciety have viewed this cheering prospect with petiliir patisfiction. They feet that their past labours hits nZt been without success; and, animated by hope; they have studi. Daily considered in what manner their future efforts could be most beneficially exerted. They believe that essential service may be rendered by the active, prudent, and discreet labours of the individuals why compose this Society; and they lOoklitiek upoti the, memorable example of inward, the strcersfal and praiseworthy effOill of idle Its Lord Auckland and Sir George Paul; with in 'Woos desire humbly imitate them. It is manifest, that before any dt• gested system of prison-law can be fremd and nal vertslly adopted, the most accotate and exteotive in formation as to the state of theprisons should be pro cured. The papers and accounts which will be fur. wished to the Houma Lords. will undoubtedly sup ply a very Manisa body of information ; yet there will exist many meted., facts, which from various causes the motion of Lord Lansdowne will probably not bring to light. lin many instances the information must come from those upon whom the prevalence of sit treme abuse may throw the culpability bf neglect or Italttettion ; in other ceses4 want of acquaintance with the subject, or indolence, will render the re- I quired communication d,ficent and jejdne. Those who have their minds fully impressed Aith the im portance of the undertaking, whose hearts are iu the success of the cause, will show greater scaleless and greater industry. When the exertions of individuals ere added to the results of official enquiry, more com plete and minute details may be expected. " With a view to obtain accurate information, the Committee some time slate transmitted to their cor respondents in the country lists of queries, to which they requested them to obtain correct answers, that by these means the state of the different jails in the country might be ascertained ; and they have since determined to visit, by their individual Members, as many as could be effected. In consequence of this resolution, many of the jails and places of confine merit have been visited, and accurate accounts ob tained; and a similar investigation will be made in many others ; but the number and distance are such, that of necessity a large proportion cannot come within the reach of the London Committee. To places so circumstanced, they earnestly request the attention of their country correspondents, hoping that they will find opportunities personally to inspect these jails, and to return to the Committee in town the result of their enquiries, by annexing answers to the quer iea, as far es may be practicable. Assistance rendered in this manner will be very profitable, and supply the Committee with very valuable materials for further exertions ; and they again entreat the early attention of their correspondents to lend their aid to carry into execution the plan proposed.— Should unforeseen difficulties occur, or any peculiar circumstances prevent any of their correspondents from shording ibis information, they request that intimation may be given them, that if possible the deficiency may be supplied; and if not, it will be desirable to have the cause satisfactorily explained. They hope, therefore, under no circumstances, to be left without some communication from their corre spondents. " The list of queries which has been circulated relate to prison discipline only ; but it is to be recol lected, that one of the primary objects of the So ciety is investigation into juvenile delinquency, with a view of promoting the reformation of this daily increasing class of offeeders. In remote parts of the country, where youth are less liable to be cor rupted by frequent bad example, or association with veterans in crime, it is' hoped that this evil is less prevdent ; but in many of the populous manlike luring towns, youthful depravity, compared with the respective population, is scarcely less extensive than in the Metropolis. The friends of this Society, whose residence may give them convenient opportu nity, will do well to keep a watchful eye upon this nursery of crime end misery ; and a communication of all facts elucidating the subject will be very ac• ceptable to the Coinmittee in London. Where the Ma. HOBHOUSE'S SPEECH. A numerous Meeting of the Inhabitants of .the Parish of St. Mudd's. Electors of Westminster, was held yesterday, at the Five's.court, at which Mr. Ilobhouse was present. After several Resolutions; unanimously passed, in favour of his election, he came forward and made the following Address:— Gentlemen, after the introduction to the business of the day, which you have just heard from the Gen. tlemen who base preceded me, I deem It quite none ceSsiry for me to address you et soy great length.— Tbit linnourable Chairman has desired me to come forward to make such professions as become a Candl date for the honour of representing you; ,the sions bf Candidates, believer, are now become so common that they are despised, and es - that is the case, I must decline making any; and must trust tri the favourable opinion which tboke who hue pet me in nomination have already expressed regarding my character : not but that I could make as fair a string of professions as any other individual; but even if did, you would not beliete them, but, kite prudent men, wollortook to my Parliamentary coeduct, and would hereaftir consider, whether it 'was such as to justify and confirm the kind opinion which you have now adopted, regarding my merits. It has been said, and said justly, that miry Candidate should be explicit upon the topic of Reform ; therefore say at once, " that Westminster ought to send a Reformer to Parliament." If Westminster does not intend to send a Reformer to Parliament, am not a Candidate for its representation. I repeat now what I hue said before, and what I shall el. ways repeal, as well here as when I shall return from the Hustings, whether that return be attended with victory or defeat,—that I come before you in, the cause of Reform, and in no other cause. When. I say in no other cause, I do not mean to lay that the Representatives of the People in Parliament ought to confine their duty to this question alone; there are other questions which it is impossible to neglect; but they ought to make Reform their par. ticular object ; they ought to pursue it with a con. scant and ardent pursuit ; and your Representative. more than any other, ought to be distinguished in such pursuit ; for Sir Francis Burdett is particularly a Reformer ; as such, you elected him in 1807 ; and repeated elections, subsequently, have *indicated your choice. If you do not Dow elect a Reformer, you will elect some person who will counteract all his measures; and, as a Gentleman who spoke yes , terday evening at St. Clement's well observed, you will commit an act of suicide upon your own liber ties. If, however, you elect a Reformer, the es ample which you, the Electors of Westminster. will give to the country once more, will be beneficial : • because, when your adversaries shall say, 4 ' There • are no Reformers, Reform is a mere shadow; " the voice of the country will reply, Look at West , minster ;—Weettniester hat stuck to Reform ;—the Men of Westminster are Reformists." But if you send Sir Murray Maxwell, or any other Ministerial , Candidate, as your Representative to Parliament, there will be an opportunity for saying; " West `rninster is not for Reform; one accident placed Sir Francis Burdett in the House of Commons, and another has put Sir Murray Murrell by bis side." This will be said, and such argumentation no sophistry can evade. Bat your adversaries talk of schemes concerted and things done in a corner.— This room is indeed a very large corner. (Laughter.) —lt is such a corner, however, as precludes all crecy ; and to so numerous en assembly as is rots ttined in it, no secrets, as 1 think, will he told. W., , however, do not any thing in secret; for bow ndee I can we, when it is the cause of the People that Wa advocate, and when it is they who twist us ies advo cating it? Bat though we do not seek the shade to act in, your adversaries do, because they hue* gre: t deal of mean and dirty work to perform.. Your ene mies, and the enemies Oen England, have bad :reve -1 ral, what they call public, bat what, from their nom . ben, I should call secret Meeting:.
