Our renders will, we are sure, excuse us fir producing proof that this pro perty belongs to ourselves, and, to produce such proof, we hate only to insert here a passage from our Parliamentary commentary of yesterday. " The measure is this : to fend the pensions and the half-pay! To get peoplz to contract to pay them. To "mate them orcr to Use contractors. To put them out on " farm, as they do the poor of some parishes. In short, It "is a lean that the Collective Is about to make, to get " money to pay the pensions and the half-pay with. This " is the fact stark-naked : and there is no doubt of the plan " being carried into elect ; for, it will cause some tales tat " be takes of.—Suppose here to be an °Geer who has half " pay of MIX. a-year. It is for his life. The governutent. " maracas with use, suppose, to pay this officer ; and " pays me, not the 101.11. a year at first, bit less; and, in " time. it pays me more than lOW. a year.

Many things much more unlikely have "taken piece. A eclair. of some sort or other mast hap pe n " . To fund the tithes would be a great deal " more oral thing than to fend the half-pay and pensions "of °Beers and soldiers.

On receiving the first Intimation of the wreck, W. M. Twits. Esq. Collector of Customs, went or on Monday last, to ten der every service la his power. We are happy to say no lives have been lost. Wo are sorry to bear, that a great many of the Diagia fishiog boats were wrecked and damaged In the storm of Sunday night. This Is the more to be regretted (principally, no doubt, ter the sake of the poor and lodut- Woos owners), as from Sam oar market WWI plentifully supplied with sea-flab, a source of great relief to the poor, in a season of scarcity teak es the present. The New Visitiag Magistrates, slopointa for 11. cheater Gaol, at the Wells Sessions, are General Be antra, of Wookey, (son of the Bishop of Norwich), and William Hamming, Seq. the late Sheriff, who has not been a visitor of the real for dna last tea years. On their first Ash, (the 20th isst) the day it Sir F. Burdett left Mr. Haat, they pew orders leP the high walls, which surrounded Mr. Hunt's sad the adjoining wards, to be immediately lowered, and the 000 s, which was closed by order of the late Visiting Magistrates, to he left open, fur the free admissios of the son and air. By the promptness ■nd activity of Mr. Hardy, the governor, this long-protracted askance is already removed, and the walls are lowered oat h ilf; so that they are now only ten instead of twenty feet high.---The sea sad air have since penetrated these gloomy recesses, from whence both had been excluded, by the notable contrivances of the late Gaoler, for the last twelve years. At the above Sessions, aCommittee of Magistrates was appointed to visit all the prisons in the county. with a view to the adoption of such alterations in their management and discipline as may appear de sirable.—This clearly evinces the good effects which are likely to result from the late investigation into tile abuses of Ilchester Gaol. We trust this system of gaol reformation will be followed op tivonghont the conntry. We hear of humane Governors, and deem it unneeenary to scrutinize their conduct, while it rarely happens that the poor creatures who are placed under their keeping have the ability or courage to expose their tyranny ; bat we have now sufficient proofs, that however favourable report may be, it still requires the utmost vigilance of the magic- Antes to see and know, that all subordinate of ficers act ob4dient to the duties incumbent on them.
