Mr. Buxton't work is written in a spirit of geod muse, candour, and benevolence, and will amply repay the labour of a perusal. The following are extracts from the above trot k Magna Charts declares that op freeman shall he taken or imprined, hut by tA; breful judgment of his ersaie s Ohgd oo oemigfaland• Wbeu a prisoner is te l e, by the " lawful judgmeist of his equals, . is some times a part, null sometimes the whole of the pe nalty awarded against him; and eiridesitly with the strictest justice. because it is proved that he has been gmlty of au offence, and this is the appointed Petnelstnent. flut . the " law of the land" finds it beceessry to depart from this rigid rule of equity. which would absidge oaf that man of his freedom, who had been prossemoceil a .delinquent by the verdict of his peers. Tlse security of the whole demands, tied the Liberty of seine should be ruspeuded for a cer tain priond. Perioni iie accused of crimes—they May be innocent or they may be guilty; but their detention is sietwesory;•entil the time .arrives in which am or the other eawbe established ; yet. they are iugoecut in the eye of the law till their guilt is proved ; and in this case inipilsonment is not im posed as a penalty, it is merely permitted es the only method of insuring the sppearauce of the ;ler. aus suspected, oil the day of trial. Bo for does the law carry its reluctance to im pose coutinerneed before conviction. that it allows the accused, where the imputed offence it not of an heiuoits description, to beat large on giving bail for his appearance'; it does not do so is cares of wester enormity. because the mail who has com initted a capital offence, and therefore aliticipates the lows of his life, as well as of his property, will nut he deterred from making his escape by any se curities he may have given. The ancient law dis played even still more tenderness towards the li berty of the subject. fur " by it, in all casts of felony, if the party accused could hod rufEcieut securities. he was not to be committed to prism', gain career eft aus/a Mamie t. It soon appeiirs, however. that one exception was allowed to this rule; says, in all charges of felony the accused is admitted to bail, except for the death of a 111411. where, fur terror's sake s it is otherwise determined. " The law," says Lord Coke on Magna Cliarta, " favour Mg the liberty and freedom of a man from imprisonment (though it were fur the most odious cause, the death of a man), and that lie should not be detained in prison until the Justices iu tyre should come, provides that he might Nue out a writ of inquisif directed to the Sheriff §; and the 3d of Ede/arc/the lot. chap. h 5, after ;minting out by many and careful restric tions the twits in which alone bail eau be refused, declares if any withhold prisoners replerisable after they have offered sufficieut security, be shall pry a grievous ainerceament to the King." lls 'Port, to use the expressive words of Lord Coke,"'" the law did highly hate the lung impri sonment of any man" before trial. Now it is net to be believed that our ancestors, feeling so much solicitude for the conservation of the fairedom of the untried, were unconcerned about their state, when the public welfare demanded their couSiseintiit. It is as evident by the law of the land. as it is by plain reason and the palpable rules of justice, that the taln whom it is found ex pedient to tontine, should be treated with the ut most possible leuity—that suffering some degree of necessary hardship by the privatiusi of his liberty before trial ; that privation should be rendered as mild and as little galling as possible, by every rea sonable indulgence compatible with Isis safe cus tody. All beyond this. every act which produces mettles', restriction or suffering. is an act of wrong and of oppression. Laws may be as severe against crime as were the lass of Dracu, with souse colour of justice. Mistaken legislators may imagine that this merciless system may alarm mankind into in nocence; hut no principle of justice can defend the iuflictiou of any severities on the unconvicted. A wan can avoid the penalties of crime, by avoid not all criminality; but nu wan is secure against false occiisistion ; and to condemn him who is only suspected, to any thing beyond mere coefinement, is to censinences his pumeliment when his crime is lances tat. . deptilred of their liberty by the law of the land, risoely, those in debt. The debtor only have beets getelty of irnprovittessee i of des/write speculation r of. froosoledrist Viastefoltirrs ; liut he mai , hive hero reduced to hilt kinitsility to enlist).

Hie substance and the substance of his creditor, may have ;relished together in the flames, or in the watery. Human foresight cannot always avert, and human industry cannot always repair the Masai. lies to which our nature is subjected; surely these ire entitled to some compassion. The Committee of A Iderinen appointed to visit various prisons, are of ak different opinion: they think, " that on no consideration ought iudialgence to be (wiled so far in a prime, as that it shall cease s punish as a prima;" sad they give this mason we should feehet we wanted compassion for dot industrious anal injured creditors of this city, many of shout earn their daily bread by labour, from the rising to the setting sun, were we so far to contempfate the dituation of these debtors, as to place then) within thYwills of a prison with greater comparative coin. forts than the families of the citizens, whom they have not only wronged, but upon whom by their habits of idleness atsd dissipation, they have, in manly instances, entailed absolute ruin ; and who have been induced, by their specious appearances and artful means, to improvidently trust them." Surely it cannot here escaped these getstlemen, that this very paragraph coufutes their presumption, that prisoners for debt are always fraudulent ; he. cause it produces so instance in which insolreoey is not a fraud. Let us fallow their own ;eke ure of a citireut—He eau* his daily bread .by labour, from the rising to the setting sun; be is imposed upon by the specious appearance and artful smears of the idle and the diseipsted ; he is tumble to dia l charge the demands against him, and a gaol is, his fate. Thus, the very WOO for idiom so much truck; - ness is expressed may become their victim.—Tu punish hint, by a sweeping declaration that ,prisons ought always to punish, is to scourge misfortune with those rigors which guilt *Alone can deserve. Imprisonment is theta the kgsl coosequeoce of debt : but it is only imprisonment, and it must not be accompeuied With unnecessary and often find concomitente. Nut an Act is, the Stetute Book is to be found, which by any mode of construction cats be distorted into a justification of any, even the slightest severity upon the debtor, beyond Ins nu. prisonment. With respect then to the untried and debtors, confinement is adjudged by law ; but what. ever goat beyond mere coufinement, whatever has a tendency to impart moral or physkal evil, to di,. gust or to irritate their feelings, is isdustice ;wand injustice the more dreadful, because it is is flitted on a data of men who are already too often weighed down by misfortune—because it is inflicted in places where the publ c eye does not penetrate, wheie, therefore, public compassion is not excited; but whether it be more or less dreadful, is nut so much the question. This, I conceive, is certain, that Noy tinhecessary severity to the prisoner who has net been tiled, or the prisoner for debt, is injustice. O'CLOCK, _ A RAINY NIGHT. 6 0 .

In this spirit, and with these views, diffent soitutes.have passed in this snit the two wee:ding reigos, for the employ meet and reformation of estivate' for, visions offences its Houses of Correction or Penitentiaries., the object of which is thus described by Judge Blackstone : " In forming the plan of these Ise'nitentisfy Houses, the principal objects have been, by so- ' twisty, cleanliness, and medical ',listener, by a regular series of labour, by solitary coulineineut, during the intervals of work, and by due religious instruction, to preserve and amend the health of the unhappy offeddeis, to Wore •tbein to habits of industry, to guard them from pernicious company, to accustom them to serious reflection, and to teach them both the principles, and practice of every Christian and moral duty.'' To how limited a els, gree the above plan has been acted on ; how imper fectly followed up, where professed to be intro duced ;- and how lamentably seglected in every one of its ends iii the great tusjotity of our prism's, the public have had, for the since of some years, but too ample proofs. The alinot4 universal ne glect or failure of a system .o wise and benevolent, added to the insinustionr and remarks thrown nut in various quieten, on the inspoliey of too much consulting the comforts of criminals, might well have created doubts of its practicability, and led the candid looker-on to question the possibility of eliciting laborious, moral, and religious habits, its hut stubborn subject., out of the circumstance of compulsory iniprisuument. Whoever. therefore, after making. o candid ex position of the wretchedness awl accumulated ini quity, the almost invariable consequence of our common system of prison discipline, should have pointed out the practicability and excellent effe.cts of the one before referred to, intended by our liu wane legislators for particular cases, but of easy extension to all, supporting his reasoieings by ergo. menu drawn from facts, and the existence of pri sons, where all the bappv Cools already specified are actually pursued audethctually attained—such a mau would have conferred an essential service, not only on his own country, hut on the world.— Such a task Mr. Thomas Fowell Buxton has un dertaken in leis 5 , Inquiry whether Crime and Mi sery ore produced or prevented by oar present Sys tems of Prison Discipline." mud ceefled.

He then considers what the practice in England is with regard to each of these, and thence de duces the conclusion. To prove this Mr. Bux ton states to be the object of his work.
