A liberal subscription was began, and the - ,.,leetin ; (;• assumed the name of the . ." Wiltshire Auxiliary British and Foreign Bible Society." The Matop of SALISBURY was elected President. After the celebration of High Mass, on Miffs day, in honour, of the victory of Salamanca, the PORTUGUESE AMBASSADOR gave an elegant de-: jeune. No sooner 'had the:Ladies retired, and the health of Lord WELLFg6ToN and the Allied Army been drank, than Lord CLINTON entered,,. who was received by all the Portuguese' present with the utmosterithusiain. His Lordship, after re turning thanks to the company, propo-.:ed a toast, which his Lordship said the Marquis of WEJ. 7 LINGTON drank every day,- namely, " The PRINCE REGENT Of PORTUGAL." This was drank with the most sympathetic feelings and applause ; and the day concluded with the utmost hilarity and happiness.

[Continued from our Paper of Sasturdayi The supply' of women to the colony, must, however, be materially diminished by the propos ed system of employing convicts in - Penitentiary Houses ; and your Connuktee think this ate addi tional reason for affording increased facilities to the wives of male convicts, who may wish to ac company or foll6w their husbands_to Niw South Wales. This permission is now seldom granted,. and that only to the wives of men transported for life or for fourteen years. It is, however, the most eligible m way of providing the colony„,with women; and one which ay with very great ad.- vantage be much extended. • , At the expiration of the time toii;hich the, cod victs have been sentenced, their freedom is at once obtained, and they are at liberty either to return to tills country, or to settle in New South should the latter be their choice, a grant is made to the unmarried, of 40 acres of land, and to the married, of something more for the wife and each child ; tools . and stock (which they are not allow ed to alienate) are also given to them, and. for 18 months "they are victuallc4l from the Government store. ln this manner, they have an opportuni ty of establishing them Selves in _independence, and by prOper conduct to regain a respectable place in society ; and such instances,' your Committee are glad to learn, are not tulfrequent. They also see .with satisfaction, that Gore - a Nacqnarie adopts. it as a:principle, ". that long-tried good conduct should lead.a man back to that rank in society which he had forfeited, and do ,away, in as far as:_the case will admit, all retrospect of former bad conduct„:' rnis - appears to him to be the greatest'" indncenicpt that can' bc:frield out - towards , theT reformation of the- manners of the inhabitants," In these principlts }our Conimittee ,cordially. Concur, and ar6 the more anxioiis to ex . - : press : their opinion, as, under a former Governor, transports.; whatever their conduct might beovere in no instance permitted to hold places of trust tmnd confidence, or eyen to come _to the Go .yernment-Youse; those advantages being, his opinion; not to be expected'Amtil after gene rations. The same advantages as are allowed to convicts having served their. time, ate given to those who have been pardoued, or emancipated h'y the 00-, vernor 3 and 'your Committee do .not - wish to dis niisi the subject, .without making .some observa, tions uptin the power pOssesed by him of grant-. ing to convicts either the entire or.partial,remis- : sibn of their sentence, -or tickets of Ica\e, by .I:vhich they are, altogether 'relieved from its se verity. They do not see any necessity for the Govern Or's possessing a powcr to grant theseab- Solute or conditional pardons ; it is a 'power liable to great abuse, and which appears to have been. at times very niutth abused... It is in evidence, that in some years 150 pardons have been granted.: that pardons have beea - granted to convicts intme-% diately upon their arrival, without reference to - their. characters or merits ; and it appears rather to have at times been made an•instrnment to gain popularity, than the means of rewarding exem plary conduct by a %vell-deserved extension of Majesty's mercy. Your Committee therefore suggest, that no pardon whatever, real or condi tional, be granted, but ,through the Secretary of State. This may create a delay :perhaps of a year in obtaining the pardon of any convict, but that inconvenience will not be great, for by grant ing to him a ticket of leave, the Convict will in the mean 'time be entirely relieved from the pres, flare of his sentence. Upon the subject of tickets of leave, your Committee feel that the power of granting them ought to ;remain in full force with the Governor ; but it is a power which they would wish to see spiiringly and cautiously made use of;, and with this / vie*, they recommend that an an nual return be made to the Secretary of State's Office, of the number of tickets of leave issued in the year, with a statement of the grounds upon , which each was -granted. No difficulty appens to exist among the major part of the men who -do not wish to remain in the colony, of finding means to return to this country. All but the aged and infirm easily find employment on board the ships visiting New South Wales, and , are allowed to ,work their pass s age home; but such facility is not afforded to the. women : they have no possible method of leaving the colony but by prostituting themselves on hoard the ships Whose master!. may choose to receive them. They who are sent to New South ;Wales that their former "'habits may'be felinquished, cannot:obtain a re .turn to this country but by relapsing into that mode of life, which with many has been the first cause of all their crimes and misfortunes. To those who shrink from these means, or are unable even thus to obtain a passage for ; themselves, trans portation for seven years is converted into batiish mcnt for life, and the just and humane provisions of the law, bs, , which different periods of transport ation are apportioned to different degrees of crime,' art rendered tuitirely null.; To see this 'defect iu the punishment remedied is the ailioits wish of your committee ; and th/t'y trust that means may be devised to facilitate the return of such women as have passed their time of servitude, and are un willing to remain in the colony, either by afford ing them a sufficient sum of money; or by some "stipulations in their favour with the masters of vessels touch at New Sotrth Wales. It Will be seen by the accounts laid before your Committee, that the expenses of the Colony are considerable. The hills cravat in the year. 1.810 amounted to 72,G00/. being a great increase upon any preceding year, and the - expenditure of the - year 1811 promised tO2he still greater ; in addition to these, a great annual expenditure is incurred in transtnission of stores and Merchandise, and in the freight of transports.' Your Committee trust; that when the buildings absolutely neeesnry for the public Servicer Shall be completed, a the commerce of, the colony Shall prosper, the duties becoine more productive, and, from agricultural improvement, the supply of stores to its present - amount shall be discontinued, that this expense will be materially diminished ; and it is their opinion that even now it- might be cons'- .

The whole population does . not amount to 11,000, and of these 1,100 are_ sol diers. Such is the view taken by your Committee of the cu,my,of New South Wales ; and it is, in their opinion, in a train entirely to answer the ends proposed by its establishment. It appears: latterli• to have' attracted a gteater share of atten tion of Government than it did for many years after its foundation and when the several beneficial orders lately sent out from this country, and' the liiberal views of the present Governor shall have Lad time to operate, the best effects are to be ex.- pected. _ • The permission of distillation within the colo. ny, and the reform of the Courts of Justice, are two measures which your Committee, above alt others, recommend as most necessary to stimulate agricultural industry, and to give the inhabit - WI that confidence and legal security which can alone 'render them contented with the Governuiedt under • which they are placed. - Jai)' 10, 181 g.
