TRANSPORTATION OP ►ENIL? CONVICTS 11614 t TT ruse to snake Ins promised motion for pie venting the sailthg of the ves‘el destilied to convey Frinale Convicts from this country to New South Wales. It was already known that mans. abuses hail prevniltd in the conveyance of such ittrlloll,, and that many remedies were applied tit remove such :atoms, still it was necessary to regiolitte as much as possible the conveyance - of people of this class. Ile objected Ist, to the system of transporta tion altogether ; and 2dly, he objected to the manner in which that system was carried into execution. Her strong objection to sending fetnale convicts to Not South Wales was, because it had a strong troshatry to corrupt and vitiate their morals.::— Whatever entail* the Government might adopt, whit-t the system of transportation was continued, he might say it was utterly impossible to plevent that „ruersl prostitution of the female convicts winch so much tended to disgrace the female chat stractsr. Unhappy females doomed to a voyage to New South . Viiales, who happily might till then Live'escaped that degradation, acre sure to be s orriipted on their way, awl those who were already talltm, were sure to be made worse. There was climber objection to the system. It was intended us a piiiitshinetit—as a pu isliniesit where example should deter evil ; but it was clear, that so far front ii.-ing considered a punishment, Aranspoi taboo was courted by many. It was, in truth, a systetat of Sijustice—for to some it was a most desirable event, sold to others it nes a cruel and heavy punishment. It did toot afford any salutary example—because, whatever the punishment *us, the scene of that poriishment was far removed from the view of the sweat s. . - It had been well observed by a French • writer, that on the ortlinary elate of society, im stishtnents inflicted had as little &eel as events which happened one thousand years ago. From the Parliauteotary return, he found that from 1787 to 18IPo, there were trait/ported 2,907 stoniest ; from Its In to Ittte, there were transpotteil -202 OnnWil, NI if wham were transports l seven years.

The policy or that ow Act . Was, that throe persona should he sent to houses of correction—indeed so little was it understood, that persons sentenced for that time were to he trona ported, that a learned and respected Judge told him, that during. the heat circuit he was about to lass sentence a trau , portation on a criminal for seven years, when the Clerk of the Crown sug gested to his Lordship that he might as well nor, for the seotence would n ever be put ion, execution; yet lie had now to say, that a great proportiou of the frontlet, i r en tenceel for that period are actually transported—to stiffer all the hardships and all the shame attendant on that voyage, and, more than all , to fall into profligacy and corruption—the certain consequence of a voyage —during which they were obliged to afiSo .eiate with the most depraved of mankind—with those who had forfeited their lives to the laws of their country. Ile trusted that the Committee up stairs would devise 'some means of effecting some important change in this system. In the mean tittle, he hoped this fresh cargo of victims would not be suffered to proceed. It was a proceeding . op owed to common shame, to the character o f the Government, and the feelings of * moral people. Ile would beg the indulgence of the. House for a few minutes, whilst he called their attention to facts which many were not aware of. In one town (the name we did not learn), he said, an unfortunate voillig woman, who was not even to be transported, but who was sent to the Penitentiary, was dragged up in irons iii the most shameful manrier--and an other unfortunate girl, in Carlisle, who had her child torn from her breast, God only knew what became of it ! antlered the utmost torments in consequence of an overflow of that sustenance which nature supplied fur the child. Ile paw this tiara tunate creature. in the. hospital of Newgate ; she was for several clayS in the most lamentable situa tion ; it was distriesaing to all human feeling to witness her rufferiugs. These facts were shocking iu themselvey, and not it all creditable to the ad ininiatration of the criminal lay. in the passage to New South Wales no description of character was respected. The infamous and the innocent, the young and the old—the mere child, who, by a caattai error. might have forfeited her liberty for a time, and the hardened prostitute, were associated together. The voyage throughout was but one continued scene of prostitution, shameless, odious, sod norlisgiii.ed. The ship that carried this mast of corruption was but a floating brothel, in which nothing pore or innocent was preserved—in which I very thing perished but vice and prostitu tion. The Cornmsiider of the ship now about to sail (Captain (:umiey) wog indeed a Gentleman of the highest character; lint lie alone could not pre vent, though lie do • great deal to restrain the vices of the crew. in the last ship that went mit, scenes of the most shocking nature toak place. He held in his leind a letter of Mr. Marsden, the Chaplain of New South Wales, to the Committee of Lilies under the inspection of Mrs. Fry. It apprars from that document, that a promiscuous system of ptostitirion prevailed in the ship till it arrived at St. Helene ; that there, however, the women were put down under the hatches ; that the passengers suffered on the voyage the want of water, each receiving for cooking, drinking, and all Cher purposes, not more than three pints of water, a quantity not half sufficient. In another case, • cargo of these unhappy females were sent to the Kilig's ship, to he prostitnted by tlie sailors. But if the hardships, the privations, and the vices attendant on the voyage were numerous and ir:- lancholy, wilt-111,0y the shores of New South Wales afforded but Mile protection to the victims. The elements were charged, but not the miseries of the convicts, some of the women indeed lodged in a factory at raltramattn, hot n fur greater num ber were ohltgert to wander tip and down the streets to otter their wretched bodies for prostitution., in order to afford them the means of Itaiiing, and in deed of clothilig and provisions. The hospital of that place Mr. Marsden describes; it is a most melancholy description. It Mating* trio wards. There were no lucky tin the doers, there was not even a room for the ekmh , but the d, ad and the aick Were in theta utode of wretchetine,s left together in the same room ; the sick were allowed no tiouriali ment, neither tea, rice, nor wine ; they had nothing allowed them but the Government rations of heel, which a sick person cannot use ; there was neither candle nor lamp allowed, and this amiable and truly eat inirlary Clergyman plates, "that often iu the dark I have been 4,liiiged to grope my way to the sick ;" the women were packed to gether with the men, acid the Clergymait, who had to administer the last awful consolations of reli gion, had to endure that scene. The letter of Mr. Marsileu was dated the 5111 of February', 1814. He could not but object to this system. lie looked on it as unnecessary, mid much worse. lie believed, inch, eel, that every thing would be done that the na ture of the case admitted of; but the system gene rated moral evils which could not be corrected whilst that system was infliaeil to exist. Ile hoped the House vrootd interpose it. authority, and prevent theyresetit ship from sailing. Ile was decidedly against hot merely sending out the present cargo of female conviett, but against sending out any hereafter. it might be argued that it was ne cessary to semi ill:disposed men out of the cowl try, loccawe they were dangerous; but no such argument could 'he mails as to the trimapoitat . of female convicts—no one could say that remittal could be tasigerwis to the Goveriatatart, or the peace of society. There were about 200 to be sent from and Ireland. The gaols, under the attention which had been given to these places, were cousiderably better conducted than formerly. The female convicts might he kept confined in their resptetive gaols, acid pardoned by the Govern ment of the country, as their good conduct might merit. There were but about lofty or fifty female convicts now to Ise lrruslorted for *even years.

BATHURST denied Hull it would be Con venient or practicable to keep the number of fe ' male convicts in the country, because, from what, ever cause, it was clear that the increase of crime was an great, that even the best constructed gaols were not able to contain the !prism's'''. There were three classes of female couviets—the first, between 45 soil 50 years of awe, were 1101 to be transported. The second class were females who afforded hopes of reformation: tbey were not to be transported. The third class, amounting to about ninety women, the Government of the country, snider all circum stances, thought it right to send away. The Right !lon.

The Petition in his hand ' alleged that the Duke of Marlborough had openly interfered at the last election, by Itiititieff and by his agents—distributed money in both ways—pro posed one of the Candidates himself, and procured, by such means, his return.
