On the Resolution that a sum of (i 0; 1. be ranted to his Majesty for defraying the charge of continuing the Iruitdiog of the reuitentsary-house at Milbank— Mr. Gutman oli.crveil, the House ought to be made acquainted with the way its which she stoats before grouted fur the building of this establish ment had bern'spetat. It heat beets lamol neces sary to lake down some of the toweis, they had beau so barfly constructed. Jis in slow required was for set sabring. Mr. Lot allAne said. that 71,0001. were now re quired for this establishasse of. Besides the elite.. lion on the principle of eciniume, he had another of a much stronger oataire. To ercourage and support establishments, was to incur the gout of encouraging offences and hoc bbbb log ail:derv. The principle the Legislature ought to promod on was that of dtierring rather !lima amending. A succession of stsch institutions laud h a d no rife& in repressing the amount of crime. thofigh it might bare reformed souse. The trim muds of limiuit•h ilig the quantum of crime was by improving the state of our police, and rendering it inure vigorous and efficacious. (toe-fourth of the large sums speut on these establishments, directed to the formation of a watchful police. would have a much better • effect. The proposed daini ''''' tient ofcapital punish ments would also be found iusufficient. The whole coarse' of history "hewed that the repression of crimes was poly. or at least chiefly. to be produced by the influence of overhanging terror. The miss of society was too iesattesitive to the tneaus of ex tinguishing guilt, and also how the sums giveu for that purpose by - themselves were applied. Mr. C. LONG observed, that the objections to the system of Penitent's:nits, if intended to be acted on, ought to have been staled long sinc e . The system had been too long acted on, and had absorbed tooimucla expense, to be given up now without further trial. He supposed the lion. Gen. !lemon did not what stow, when the Penitentiary had been half built, to stop short. It was per fectly true, that some of the towers lied fallen ; hut this misfortune was nut attributable to the igno. Fame a.r misconduct of the builders, loathe diffi culty of building on the bite. No spot could have been snore difficult to erect a hinge edifice on, in somuch, that it was at trait proposed to raise it on piles.

The expense which insght beincerred be yond these sixty millions, was to he horde equally by Holland and this country. 11,'haterer . had been pied on this account by the Commissioners' of the French Goveniment, had been intmediately applied to the projected fortifications; but as the whole might not be paid until the end of five years, it was necessary, on the part of the Dutch and Bri tish Government), to make good whatever might .lie requisite to carry these works on in the interim. I But the engagement on the part of the British Poresamsent was. that England should not be lia ble to Any deficiency beyond the suns of two mil lionseterling. Mr. %%Taints said, the Treaty referred to a sum of tlnee millions, to be made good by England. Lied Casnirsitsann denied that England was, by the terms of the Convention 'or • ogreertient, to bear a greater proportion of this expeuse than the sum of two millions. Mr. WARRE still continued to nature the House that'll* sum of three millions hod beetispecillet ill tl*Treaty u being the shat te4at tnA4le . good by England towards fortifying the trot-Moira m the possiosinn of the House of Orsinge .

The-whole would, therefore, not exceed three millions, in cluding one million for Guadeloupe. Mr. WARILE stated at length the contents of the Treaty as respecting sums of inoliey liable. to he made good by Great Britain first, there was one million to be givers to Sweden, for certain causes thereid expressed ; secondly, two millions to make good the frontier of rhe . doldiniona 'of the' House of Oraoge ; and, thirdly, this, questionahle article, which made it probe* that'au additional million might be called for on the account of assistance to the Netherlynds, the, article stipulating, that England should, in ,commou with Holland, bear equally the expenses resulting from a secure set tlement of the Low Countries' frontiers, to the amount of not more than three millions. • Lord CASTIAILEICII assur;:if ih House, what ever inaccuracy of expression might he found in the article, there. could be no misunderstanding with Holland ou the subject, England 'being per fectly understood to be liable to no greater amount than two Mr.l'tEnsEr. mug infer from the words of the Treaty, that if Iwo millions . were isot enough, a third would be expected ; and, iioleed.- such, he contended, hurl been the admission iii flint of the Noble Lord himself.
