EXETER 'CIIANGE.—The Public are moat respectfully informed, that, in addition Is the old. established place of Business, an extensive ROOhl at the back Is NOW OPENED for the secommoilseion of lilting sat Gesileines la Ma Army and Navy, and Cadets for India, where mar be bad the New-regslatios Swords, as extensive assortment of Saddles, Trunks, Cots, ke. &c. all warranted Rood, at the lowest Ready money Prices. Saddles and Bridles for Exportation. ! quire respecting it, I was not able to obtain any satiefactory proof of corrupt motives in the d4tritiss tioo that had been made by tom of the female cott viers. It is militated by him that their cub shitutioas was the frequent consequence of the indelgeuce afforded to 'hem oo ih.te arrival ; and that it was asot on offence of which he conceived himself bound to take cognizance: The temoial of the female convict• from Sydney to Paramatta has been ahead mentioned. Olt their there they are &loped to remain in a wooden building that is near the fats tory ; and if tiny have succeeded in bringing their bedding from the ships, they ire permitted to de. posit it there. or in the room in which thelemide prisoirris are coutimd for punishment. The first of these spertmeots is in the upper floor Oa bootee that was boat 1;4 the reception of peogstooo itopirt. &t It contains owhee apartment, on the groond floor. that is occupied by the men employed in the fac tory. It is noeSurrounded by sof wall or piing ; and the upper room or garret has only one wisolow. and an esity communication with the room below. No accommodation is afforded for cooking provi sions in this building ; nor does there exist either inducement to the female convicts to remain iu or the means of preventing their escape. The greater portion, therefore, betake themselves to the lodgings in the town of Paramatta, where they co habit with the male convicts in the employ of Go vernment, or with any persons who will receive them. Their employment in the factory commis of picking, spinning, and carding wool. They are tasked to priforin a certain quantity in the day, and when their task is finished. which is generally at one o'clock, they are allowed to retain to their lodgings. Their weekly ration consists of four pounds ten ounces of flour, and the same quantity of meat, or two pounds of pork; and the same ration is issued to the females who are confined for punishment. The children who accompany their mothers to Paramatta are maintained by Govern ment, and receive one half of the ration last de scribed. As there is a general objection among-t the settlers to receive into their families female convicts who are accompanied by children, it is their lot to remain longer iii Permatia, and at the factory, than others. The factory itself consists of one long room, that is immediately above the gaol, having two windows in front that look into the gaol yard. one in the end of the building, and two windows looking into a yard that is immediately behind. The dimeusions of the mom are 60 feet by 20; and at one end are store-rooms, where the wool, yarn, and cloth are kept. There iv one fire.. place. at which all the provisions are cooked. The women have no other beds than those they can make from the wool is its dirty state; and they sleep upon it at night, and in the midst of their spinning -wheels and work. No attempt has been made to preserve cleanliness in this room, as the boards had shrunk so much, that when they were washed the water fell through them into the prison rooms below. The walls of the room and the roof bore equal marks of neglect, and the drains itt the yard were in the highest degree offensive. Colloquial intercourse always took place between the female convicts and the male convicts confined in the prison, except during the hours of labour ; for in the windows there was nothing more than three wooden bars, and inside shutters. A range of wooden buildings had been erected on one side of the yard below, connected with the gaol and factory by • wall of ten feet. In this range, and in a small building attached to one of the side walls, were placed the looms, where the cloth was wove by mule convicts assigned for the purpose. At a little dis tance from the factory, and beyond this wall, was the superintendent', house and garden, containing four small and inconveuient rooms. Mr. Oakes, the superintendent, had for some time ceased to inha bit them himself. and had converted one of them into a stable ; but he bad continued for his own use the cultivation of a small garden and a paddock imme diately adjoining. The care of the factory, there fore, except during the hours of labour, was com mitted to a constable, who was still a convict, who had continued in that office for fifteen years, and received no larger allowance as • reward for his fidelity than •re ion and a half. The security for the performance of his duty depends upon the risk of detection; the same presumptive check that is supposed to s ruvide fir the official integrity of many other establishments in New South Wales, aided by the further probability of disclosure., to which the intoxication of the women would lead, if they were permitted by the constable to go out of the factory, when confined there. Considered us • place of punishment for offences committed by female convicts in New South Wales, the factory at l'arainatta acted merely as a temporary restraint from indiscriminate intercourse or unchecked &t -itivation. The labour of the females confined for punishment, was not greater than those that were retained there for employment ; and their dirt was io nos ise inferior. The only punishment that it in flicted was that of moral and physical degradation, beyond the low state of existence from which many of them had previously been taken ; and reducing those who had been in better situations nearly to the saute level. The women who had become most profligate and hardened by habit writ associated in their daily tasks with those who had very lately ar rived, to whom the customs sod practices of the colony wete yet unknown, and who might have es caped the consequences of such pernicious lesson•, if a little care and a small portion of expense had been spired in providing theta with • separate apartment during the hours of labour. As • place of employment, the factory at Paramatta was not only very defective, hut very prejudicial. The in sufficient accommodation that it afforded to those female* who might be well disposed presented mu early incitement, if not au excuse, for their resort ing to iudiscritninate prostitution ; and on the evening of their arrival at Pareinatta, those who were not deploring their state of abandonment and distress were traversing the streets in search of the guilty means of future support. The state in which the place itself was kept, and the state of disgusting NEW SOUTH WALES. EXTRACT FROM THE REPORT OP THR COMMIS. *,IONER OP INQUIRY INTO THE STATIC OP THE COLONY OF NEW SOUTH WALES. [Printed by Order of the ffomse of Commons] (Coatinrod from oar Paper of yesterday . ) Subsistence and (lothinK of the Convicts retained by Government ; and meeploysitent of Festak Convicts. Yielding to the recommendations made to him by the captains and surgeons of the female convict ships, Governor Mocquarrie has given tickets of leave to some of the females on their arrival ; and influenced also by • wish to economize the public expenditure, he has given the same indulgence to those who were represented to him as having money, by which they have established themselves iu the town of Sydney, mid at once beet' Owed on a level with the emancipated and free convicts of their own sex. Iu this state, which cannot be considered as • state of punishment, and which tends to produce a belief that opulence can redeem the consequences of crime, these women form connexions with the convicts whoot they have formerly known in Eng land. or support themselves by any casual de mand for their labour. Those also who have chil dren, and have any means of supporting themselves, are furnished with tickets of leave. The Govern ment is thus relieved from the expense of ;heir maintenance, and they are themselves benefited by being guyed front the consequences of consignment to the factory at Paramatta. The principal superintendent, Hutchinson, in the original distribution of the female convicts, is sole judge of the propriety or impropriety of the applications that are made for them. His order■ are to iefuse them on the •pplicatton of single men, unless their character should he such as to preclude the suspicion of ouworthy and immoial motives. The exercise of this delicate and important duty a thus committed to a person, who is himself not exempt from the charge of immoral habits and counexioo., and not sufficiently raced above the rank of ordinary applicants to re►ist improper applications with firm ness. His knowledge of the inhabitants of Sydney rumbles him to form an opinion of the moti►es that guide their applications for female convicts; Out of the condition of those who reside in the country, he is entirely iguonnit. H.efussls to such applications are, however. but rarely made; and no complaints of that nature were sildressed to nip. 1 sin likewise bound to state, that after entertaining mach suspicion myself of the manner in which this part of the duty of the principal super intendent was performed, and alter some in.

The evil consequences arising to the' Colony from the indiscriniiimte association, sod the now strained piostitition of so Many litenisous women. have been seriourly W i t by the inhabitonts at large. With the temptations that their- residence in Parla ment ufforded. and the slight degree of punish meld that confinement in the factory ineicted, no female convici, when assigned to a respectable fa mily, could be taught the value of Poch s sitnetioe, or could be made to feel the n.cesaisy of obedience. These consequences are strongly sad justly describ ed in a letter addreseed by the Rev. Mr. Marsden to Governor Macquerrie in the year 1813. and that makes part of the evidence anbmitted to the Cvm mince of Parliament on the State of Gaols. The effects stated by Mr. Mersden are partially con firmed by the answer of Governor Macquarrie, and recite further confirmation from the evideoce of Mr. (Nike., the chief constable of Plemmons ; from that of Mr. Hannibal M'Arthur, Mr. West, Mr. Rouse, and Mr. Come. M►. Marsden. as Acting Magistrate at Para. matte, took 'leading part in the police of that place. and became more fully acquainted,und more deeply impressed, with the nature and extent of the mis chief that it created. The gaol and factory, more over,had originally been constructed under hie di rection!. mid he must at an early period have been convinced of the inadequacy of such buildings, for the purposes either of penal discipline or of moral restraint : in both of these points of view, the plan was as objectionable as the execution was de fective. The report of Mr. Greenwsy. the colonial archi- - tect, upon the ►tate of these buildings that was made in the month of October, 1816, alludes in very general terms to them; but it indicates the de fects iiiherent in the plan, and the consequenres to which they naturally led. Without making Mr. Marsden reponsible for these defects of the building that he ouperiutelided, and which was originally in tended for • place of employment only, it is some what surprising. that from the period of his appointment to the magistracy, in the year 1811, to the year 1815, he had not addressed some represen tation to Governor Macquarie, of the same evils that he then deplored, the existence of which, long antecedently, must hove been as curb within his observation, and must have as forcibly attracted it. Deference to the feelings of Governor Macquarne, whose attention he observed to be then employed in other building., and want of success that he had experienced in procuring some attention to his re presentations respecting the hospital at Panienatts, might have been the motives fur this silence : what ever they really were, the facts that are stated by Mr. Marsden, in his letter to Governor Macquarric. could not have altogether escaped his knowledge and observation. The complaints in the colony re spectieg the misconduct of the female convicts, of their disobedience, and of their immoral connexion•. must have been known to him, and they must have pointed at the want of accommodation 111 the colony, and punishment of the female convicts, as the natural sources of these evils. 'laving observed, in Governor Macquerries an swer to Mr. Marsden, that he justified the delay that occurred, and was still to take place, in the con struction of a proper place of reception for the female convicts, by the want of any specific instruction, from your Lordship to undertake such a building, and winch he states that he solicited at an early period of his government, and considered indispen sible, I felt it to be my duty to call to the recol lection of Governor firlacquarrte, that he had under taken several buildings of much less urgent necessity than the factory at Parunsatte, without waiting for any such indispensable authority ; and I now find, that the construction of it was announced by him to your Lordship iu the year 1817, as then in his contemplation, without making any specific allusion to the evils which the want of it had so long occasioned ; that the contract for building it was announced to the public on the 41st of Marcl► 1818, and that your Lordship's approval of it was nut signified until the 24th of August 1818, and could not have reached Governor Macquarrie's hands until nearly a year aft e r the w or k b a d been undertaken. It types's, therefore, that if want of authority had been the sole cause of the delay i•s building the factory at Parematta, that cause would not only have operated in that month of Mitch 1818, but it would have constituted to operate until the want of authority had been formally supplied. Governor Macquarrie, however, •u.t be cei.sciosa, that after he had stated to Mr. Marsden' its the year ISIS, and with an appeerance . of regret, that the want of authority prevented him from under taking the curistructiou of a building of such un deniable oecessity and importance as the fastory at Paramatta, he had undertaken several building-, which, though useful in themselves, were of ter. comparative importance; arid had commenced i.l the month of August 1817, the laborious and pensive constructmu of his own stables at 574- Sir brr MAP .""er ►V.
