We should recollect that numbers of -iersons were trained to vice from their cradles, and should these be punished for whet they had never been taught to avoid ? He anticipated that the amelioration of the mass of mankind would be the consequence of that day's meeting, for the eyes of the whole world were fixed optin them. An excelo lent friend, resident (as we understood) at New York, and himself had lately taken an extensive tour, hot their first, with views similar to those which had led to the formation of the Society. lie should not ft. tempt to represent the distressing spectacles which met them in different prisons ; he should not at tempt to describe their f•elings when they sine scenes of deep woe and misery, which a little or. rangement would have prevented. When they saw a human being loaded with a hundred weight of irons—with fetters, en his Legs as large as the roll of paper in his hand, so that it was necessary to stisiiend them by a rope missing over a order that the wretched being might occasionally enjoy the ease arising from a change of situation pod posture—when they found wretches immured in dungeons, from which the light of heaven was ex cluded, greeting them with looks which penetrated into the pool. He wished he could introduce them, %loon he addressed. to these scenes; but to the render sensibility of their hearts, lie knew that no great stimulus was necessary to prompt to deeds of believolence.

The Ministers of the King of Naples expressed their concurrence in the sentiments felt by them eelses. The Grand Duke of Tuscany acted is the earn.' manner. The Kings of Bavaria end Wirtem her4 ' , Meetly understood the subject, and looked with et eat interest to the proceedings at home. In the States of Switzerland, which contained so minty enlightened and philanthropic characters, similar feelings were in operation, col at this momeot they were desirous, in Geneva, to build a prison on the plan which should be recommended to them by this Society. In many parts of Germany their progress was viewed with a very lively interest.—/ Hear, hear.)—He was hound to state, that on many ports of the Conn oted England had something to learn. Mr. Allen then described the appearance which the Maison de FORS, at Gent, hail !presented to some late visitors. Were it not for the nature of the structure it might have been supposed to he twine well.regulated manufactory—the ctankinz of a single chain was not to be heard—no conversation was allowed at work but what was absolutely necessary. For one thousand prisoners twelve turnkeys were found suf. tmeicnt. At Munich the regulations for the employ 'Dent of the prisoners were so excellent that their support cost the state absolutely nothing, and on a late settlement of accounts at one prison, there leas actually a surplus of the produce of labour "hove expenditure. lii considering this lostitutioo, and the important objects it had in view, it was pleasure to reflect that in the projects fur its ad vancement it was almost impossible to mingle any thing like smarty spirit. Tory had there men of all parties enlisted on their side ; they knew that they should receive the support not only of our own Goverment, but of every Government in Europe, for statesmen were not to be told that the public safety and tranquillity mainly depended on the moral and religious dispositions, the honest and iii illietrions habits of the great mass of the people. This Society had taken on itself to solve one of the moat important problems ever suggested to the human mind..." What are the hest memos to re claim vicious and deprived men ?"—The first step in the process certainly was to prevent them from becoMing worse—to guard against their contami nating one soother...to teach them to " erase to do evil." This was to be effected by a new con. at nction of prisons, to admit the application of tha principle of classification. He would wish to encourage all Gentlemen who travelled in foreign countries to visit the prisons. of different States, for tlion t ;!I the) might exliGte themselves to many it painful spectacle, and frequently et feel what wretre,e. feel," yet it was probable that in the course of the experiment they would experience an improvement it) their own hearts,—(/hear.)-1t was by making these things public it was slots! pos sible .topreveist the practice of oppression—{Near) —widths the walls of gaols.

Be fore sittin g dow n he had only to draw their 'melt lion to the effects. as then Intnifesteil, cf the exer cise of benevolent and Christian principles— its effect was such as when any great object was to be ' , netted like that for which they were assembled, to unite, not the professors of one sect only, but of all Christians, and accordingly they had the satis faction of observing, at the pretend meeting, inch. vidnels of the most various relignitis opinions-4ln. seiner. of many denominations, stud dignified (leer:yawn of the Established Church; because they were all acting on Christian principle., and on that ground felt that they could unite together..—. (Warm cheering.)—The Revolution was theta care Tied without any opposition. Mr. iir.NRT GRATTAN DOUGLAS. an active 'ember of the Dublin Society for the Improve. meat of Prison Discililine, and the Reformation of Juvenile Offenders, stated that its exertions were not confined to Dublin, but were extended to many Bridewells and Penitentiaries in the rest of the kingdom, where there was ample scope for the exercise of their benevolent view.. He described the case of a present executed in Wand for. a murder, who in his dying moments imputed the corruption of his good principle, to being confined in the same room with robbers and murderers when committed to prison some time before by going bail for a friend. Mr. Douglas then read. few lines from the first report of the Swirly (we believe) to which he belonged, stating, among other matter, the establishment of school*, and the association of ladies in various parts of Ireland, fix parsons& coo. peered with the object cf the Institution. - Mr. licenser, 'no rising to propose the fifth Re. solation, said, that he was most anxione to put it, ' because he bail beets himaelf a witness of the truth of its statements, and of the utility of the exertions of that class of Gentlemen (the Magistracy) to whom it expressed the thanks of the Meeting.— The Hon. Gentleman then read the Resolution— (for which see Adeertisement)—after which he de. clued, that, having lately traversed a great number of counties, from east to weal, and from north to south, lie hail silt rioted through one in which he did not hear of associations of Gentlemen and Ma. gistrates entered into for Purposes similar to those of this lianitutiots ; and lie could state, that there was no rrison which he hart visited that slid not on. dictate some improvement in its economy 'and disci pline. Snipe had been materially clumpd for the better. A fter im•isti lig (as we understood) on the Ise cessily of classification, said adverting to the system pursued at Bury and .another ga01,,• he observed that among - the regulations requisite for an improved prison discipline, labour was the most essential. if they suffered the best part of the day to be passed in idleness, moral and religious instruction would le- eseelee., sell the individual would be sent out worse Vitals when be had been committed.— There was one observatino he wished to offer, which lie had not hearil made before. The Parliament had been employed last year, and he hoped they would he employed in this, its taking away capital punishments in many offences.; Its place would l i lieresnirile lie supplied by 'treenail/ punishments, among which imprisoutnent would prellably hold a considerable place. It was therefore most dories. ble that prisons should be changed from being scenes of mot s ' contagion and *dipole of vice, to schools of reformation. because otherwise. when the numbers of male and female prisoners would be greatly augmented, they would do barns instead of good by the removal of capital punishments. After a few further remarks, Mr. Bennett proposed the Resolution. Mr. J. J. Gramm in seconding the 'Resole. tion, said that he cordially united and heartily concurred in its object and sentiments. particularly because the progress and future success of the So. tidy depended entirely on the liberality and pro. (fence of 'the Magistrates, who alone Possessed the power of introducing any practical reform into our prisons. The old and the bad system of discipline was distinguished by the wont of classification, of in. straction, and of employment; the new and good one by due claudication, instruction mid employment. There were now fifty-eight prisons in the country iq which male and female prisoners were not separat. ed. surely it was in such • state impossible to pm. vent the dreadful evil of contagion. lie then re. ferred to the labours of the Ladies' Committee in Newgate, and to the marvellous reformation 11wy hail accomplished, in a prison in every respect su unfavourable to classi fi cation. lie thought that after en great Ho example those Ladies ought to have allowed them for their benevolent purposes a prison built upon the new plan, in which they could solely devote themselves to bring their plans respecting females into complete maturity.—(//ear, 11~4 — Them respecting instruction here, he thought the want of religious instruction was one of the most obvious causes of crime. With respect to that j point, lie thought it most advisable that the con. solution of seek iostruction should be diffused WI widely us possible. and the best means for effecting it would be found to consist in th. efforts of Com mittees all otter the kingdom, super:trending the pinticiihr gaols in the vicinity of their residence. lie next particularly urged the necessity of provid. log empinyment for prisoners ;,lint it would perhaps be , *id, " IVill you impose heavier burdens upon the public to provide this employment r Certainly not ; but the employment, tf ivet! urrunged, would ley's), the cost.—(litar, hear.)-113 (ila.gow the expense of providing labour for the Brieleivell .cost only 451. 90. 2il.—(llear.)-4n Munich and chef lances on the Comment, the.,cost 'was nothing; the produce repaid the expense of providing too materials for work. lie agreed, and so did the . . whole of th e C o mmittee, that ft prison ought net * to be a place of comfort and relaxation, neither ought it of niineceoury harshoesr or cruelty ; it ought to he a place of discipline. He then pointed out in forcible terms the benefits which a ',stem of kiwi. nc,tiond reciwo lo ti o n would create in the prison dis cipline of the country if taken np generally, and concluded by miffing the Resolution he bad to pro. pore to the Meeting. A Gentleman, who.e name we regret we were unable to learn, said, lie was one of the oldest visit. ing Magistrates in the part of the county of Devon where he reviled. Ile gave the meeting the grafi. fying intelligence• that a Ladle.' Committee had been there formed on the plan of this Society, and their enjoyment of the good they were enabled to tfreet amply rlinid the labour which prodked it. —(applaw7c ) worthy Gentlenian expressed the cardiAl gratification be would feel in giving efTret in every way in his power to the views of the Society, which were calculated to realise a God like eireet —to dry up the source of crime, and di minish the mitt of human misery.—(applause.) Lord !le inaA'/E , propoviiig the Resolution put into his hand, took the opportunity of ea pressiig the high opinion be entertained of the be nevolent and philanthropic plan of the Society, which was vo admirably calculated to withdraw erring periion% from the paths of vice, and prevent their bring a disgrace to themselves and a burden to their countrY.

Lord NUGENT detailed the excellent effects pro duced at the county gaol of Buckinghamshire by the formation of a Committee of Magistrates for superintending and improving its economy, sod stated, that since the adoption of the new regula tidos no fare had appeared within it twice. The Noble Lord, after a variety of other remark., which the limits to which we now feel ourselves confined preclude us from ("Toning, proposed the seventh Itcoolosior3. It was seconded by T. S.

Lord AUCKLAND then said, he had been in structed to apologia, for the absence of the Earl of Liverpool—(Hear, hew--from the meeting, and to state that it would hare been caused by nothing bat in attendance on official duties. He had hero further requested to say, that the Noble Earl fully concurred an the object! for n Inch the meeting was held, and wet Most anxious to offord his stipport for their attaioasest.—(Cheeriag.) The thanks of the meeting were then, on the motion of Lord LILFOND, presented to Lord Auck land, for his kisidnets in taking, and conduct while filling the chair. -The Meeting was then dissolved. In the course of the proceedings several handsome subscriptions were read by the Gentleman who acted us Secretary. TRIUMPH OF WKSTIWINSTER, AND PURITY OF ELECTION. The Thirteenth Anoiveteary waa celebrated yeaterdiy at the Crown and Anchor Tavern ; Sir F. LICIIDETt in the Chair. As some complaint, not altogether iintoutided, was made reapeciiiiz the last political dinner lush, at this tavern, we think it but justice to state, that the dinner on the present orClsion was as ea. ious and ploilitial as could be wished, tad the wints received general commendation. As soon as the cloth was removed the following toasts succeeded : ' The only source of legitimate power—the People."— Tune, " Britons, strike home." " The King; and may he ever recollect the derlaralion of the Prince of Wales, that the Crown is only held in trust for the benefit of the people."—Tuue " Rule Britanoia." Sir F. Bwantre said, that at the request of a large portion of the electors then assembled he was induced to propose the health of— is TN, Queen"—drunk with loud cheers, and followed by shouts and conliuued applause. " The only remedy fur the unprecedented grievances, the onperalleled distresses, and lamentable degradation of the British people—a radical Reform in the Commons House of Parhament."—Tune, " Kick the Rogues out." At this juncture the Stewards led up to the cross-table a depilation of the electors anal parishioners of St. James's, beaded by Mr. Dean, one of whom bore a silver vase, which was placed tin the cross-table. Mr. DtAll then, un behalf of the parishioners, requested Sir F. Burdett's arceptanceof it, as a tribute of the gratitude entertained towards the Baronet by the Electors of Westicio stet. and those of St. James's especially. The vase is aster the design of Sir Win. and in 'sac it is sufficiently capacious to contain six quarts, wine measure. The bore has a richly embossed handed wreath of oak I , immediately above the eareffo, and ibe bottom and cover of the vessel areentirely covered with intertwined roses, thistle., end shamrocks of dead silver richly chased in offo•rslicat ; the cap surrounded by a forms, clused in imitation of the Itures. Two female ligiirre, each bolding iu one hand a cluster of grapes, in Ike other a bowl, and terminating in a rich flowing awintlius and honeysuckle, form the handles; and the cover is surmounted by another winged female Arne, em blematic of the guardian genius of the liberties of England, presenting the civic wreath itl its Champion in the Senate.

Then the commercial men, who had received the news of a third war against Preece and the laxities of Europe with three cheers on the Exchange, were mine chop-fallen and spiritless.
