The severe hurricane which we experienced on Wed nesday last, and which was productive of so many serious casualties in this city and neighbourhood, we observe, has been felt with equal severity in many other places. The 'following are a few records of the effects of the storm :-- DUNDEE.—Shortly after high water on Wednesday the wind increased to a hurricane, and between nine and ten o'clock the fury of the tempest was at its height, gradually subsiding afterwards till about the time of low water. We may mention the following amongst the numerous casualties attending the visitation of this war of elements here. The South Mail was two hours and the North Mail one hour later than usual in arriving, the 'state of the • weather in the former case rendering it impossible for the Ferry steamer to effect a landing on this side of the river, the whole breadth of which presented a tempestuous sheet of foam. The tide swept the quays in all directions ' exposing life and property to extreme haza rd ; and, had the springs not drawn considerably off, the shipping and other pro perty exposed to the sweep of the impetuous flood must have suffered very severely. Even as it was, several vessels were considerably injured. Tbo effects of the tempest were also felt on shore. Part of a factory at the llawkhill and the back part of a house at Logie were blown down ; the rope work between the Arbroath Railway station and the Seagate was nearly demolished. An erection in Mr. Adamson's shipbuilding-yard was partly unroofed, and one in Mr. Stephens's was thrown down; while the inclosures of Messrs. Kerr and Guild's bonded yards were almost completely prostrated. A chimney stalk situated between Shorter-road and Tally street fell with a tremendous crash through the roof of a glazier's shop, but fortunately no one was on the pre mises. There were many narrow escapes, but, so far as we have heard, no serious accidents were caused by the storm. PAISLEY.—We certainly never saw the wind rage with such terrific force, •nor have we ever seen the streets so strewed with chimney cans and slates, but happily that description of damage, coupled with the tarring of thatch roofs, and the breakage here and there of a few panes of glass, are the most severe losses that have been .sustained. Ot all the buildings about the town, Mr. Kerr's new factory has suffered most severely, but still in nothing but the tearing off of the slates. A boy who resides in Queen-street had his arm broken by the falling of a chimney can. At Elderslie two houses were unroofed. At Neilston a drying-house was blown down. Not a farm has escaped less or more damage. KtratanNocit.- - About ten o'clock a large stalk of chimneys in Robertson-place yielded to the storm, and fell with a tremendous crash through the roof of 'a weaver's shop, happily without injury to life or limb. In the newly opened print-works of-Mr. P. Brown, in Wel. beck-street, about seventy panes of glass were blown out. Several trees were also blown down in our neighbour. hood. BRIDGE OF WElR.—Between nine and ten a.m., on Wednesday, when the hurricane was at its height, a young girl, in going home from her work at that time, met with a very serious accident, being felled to the ground by a large piece of a wooden ridge which was blown off the Mill-of-Gryfe byre, at the distance of , twenty or thirty yards from the road. On being taken up, it was found that her thigh bone was broken, and that she was otherwise severely wounded in the head. GREENOCK.—This town, as well as a large part of Scotland, was visited on Tuesday morning by a storm of wind of unusual violence. We are very glad to be able to say, that it has been unaccompanied by any loss of life, or material destruction of property in this neigh bourhood. Slates, cans, and panes of glass were broken in the more elevated parts of the town, and in a land in Hamilton-street, a large portion of a stack of chimneys was overthrown. The storm has extended to Ireland ; and in Parsons town a house was blown down, killing a woman and her child. Numerous other casualties are also reported to have occurred throughout different parts of the country. —Glasgow Argus.

Nathan, at the Lime Kilns in this town, met with a very distressing accident, under peculiar circumstances. A man named Bowles, employed by Mr. NuthaU iu his timber -yard, was in the act of drawing a deal from one of the stacks of timber; just at this moment Mr. Nuthall happened to pass, when a portion of the pile fell upon him, and so completely overwhelmed him that his body was not slicoverable. On extricating him, it was found that one leg was broken in two places; two or three ribs very much injured, if not fractured ; and several other severe bruises were found extending nearly over the entire surface of his body. Mr. Nuthall's medical attendant (Mr. C. Aldred) was immediately in attendance ; but at the time of writing this it is scarcely possible to form any very accurate opinion as to the extent of the injuries received, or state of the sufferer.—Bury Herald.

For this he was summoned, there being a provision that implements of husbandry should pass toll free.

MANCHESTER, MARCH 10.—The market continues in a depressed state, both for goods and yarn; the few transac tions that take place being generally at reduced rates, which spinners and manufacturers seem more generally disposed to accept than for two or three preceding weeks., There is still, however, considerable inquiry for some description of cloth; and it seems probable that a .light concession from the cur rent rates would lead to extensive purchases. ROCHDALE, MARCH 9.—There has not been the least im provement in the flannel market to-day ; everything remains inactive, and the sales have been limited. The wool market has also been dull, and purchases for cash might have been bought at less prices. The wool dealers have suffered much by the late failures, and it makes them very cautious in doing business on credit. LEEDS, MARC!! 10.—We cannot report any improvement in our market to-day; there is, in fact, less doing. Stocks are accumulating in the hands of the manufacturers, and although they are disposed to submit to somewhat lower rates, the merchants confine their purchases to the narrowest possible limits. HUDDERSFIELD; MARCH 10.—A very fair quantity of plain goods have been sold in our market this day, and buyers in the warehouses have been more numerous. Fancy goods are dull of sale. Could there be an alleviation of the present pressure in the money market, there would be doubt less a great increase of business in this district.—Manchester Guardian. IRELAND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, MARCH 9.—The weekly meeting of the Association was held this day ; Daniel Callaghan, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN having congratulated the Association on the result of the Mayo election, which he regarded as the greatest popular triumph since the Clare election, and an unequivocal demonstration in favour of repeal, The Secretary read the following letter from Mr. O'Connell:— "British Hotel, Jennyn-street, London, March 6, 1846. "My. dear 113y,—In nay first letter on the recent Ukase of the British Minister, I stated•only three of my objections to that oppressive and afflicting measure—the new Coercion Bill for Ireland. " My first objection consisted in the contrast between this and every former Coercion Bill. They were, each and all of them, temporary enactments—they were limited in duration. " This alone is a perpetual law. " This is to form part and parcel of the perpetual con stitution,of Ireland. It has the hellish perfection of perpetuity of pain ildlialiction. " It will save time and trouble to every future Minis ter.think highly Despotic power will always be ready made to their hands. " Ireland must exist with her oonstitutional rights and liberties held by the sufferance and with the eva nescent permission of her despot for the time being. The Governor may be a violent partisan ; he may be what is still worse, a well-intentioned, weak-minded being—a fit instrument to be used in the hands of irre sHteeclin may and forms, and may have priggish formalist, who It have a sovereign disregard for substantial justice and truth. " In short, no matter what manner of man the Go vernor shall be, there is, by this Bill, to be vested in him the uncontrollable power to annihilate every vestige of constitutional liberty, and to enact irresponsible des potism. " His power is to be perpetual. " My first objection to the Bill, therefore, is its per petuity. " It may indeed be said, that if the period shall arrive when murders shall totally cease in Ireland, when there shall no longer be any manslaughter committed, when no person shall be shot at, or stabbed, or cut, or wounded, nor any grievous bodily harm, done to any body, when such millenium arrives, then this law will be repealed. " I don't believe it. I don't believe that the English Government will ever voluntarily give up any power cr dominion they may have over Ireland. " The case of 1782 is not, as we lawyers say, a case in point. England had just lost America by refusing to conciliate—she preserved Ireland by rational conci liation. _ _ The causes that induced England to conciliate Ire land at that period are part of history. It is matter of prophecy, and I firmly beliere, almost unerring pro phecy, that causes of a similar nature will produce effects not dissimilar. ' _ " For the present, my first objection to the Bill is its perpetuity. " My second objection consists in the absolute false hood of its title. " It is not a ' Bill for the better protection• of life, and to facilitate the apprehension of persons guilty of offences in Ireland.' " It really and in truth is, a Bill for rendering more insecure lite and property in Ireland, and stimulating to additional crime. " My third objection is, the absolute and unlimited power, on any excuse however trivial, or upon any pre tence however untrue, to place the inhabitants of dis tricts, and counties, and provinces in Ireland out of the pale of the law, and beyond the protection of any con stitutional right. " I have said so much on these three points in my first letter, that I shell now consider— " My fourth objection to the Bill, which consists in the unlimited powers given to the Government over the persons and properties of the Irish people. " Let it be recollected, that a proclamation under this Bill will be equally valid, whether it be founded on the assertion of a falsehood or the assertion of a truth. In other words, truth or falsehood in the allegation of the proclamation is totally immaterial. The proclamation is of equal validity with the one as with the other. " Well, the proclamation having issued, nay fourth ob jection consists in the extent of powers vested in the Lord• Lieutenant by means of his own proclamation, true or false. The powers are these : " Ist. The . power of appointing as many resident magistrates, inspectors of constabulary, head con stables, petty constables, and sub-constables and con stables, as the Lord Lieutenant shall think fit, such persons to reside in the proclaimed districts, and all of them to be clothed, fed, maintained, and paid at the expense of the occupying inhabitants of the proclaimed districts. " The second power is that of compelling . the in habitants of such proclaimed districts to remain within their respective places and homes from sunset to sun rise. " The third power is that of allocating any sum of money, to any amount the Lord Lieutenant chooses, as a reward for the apprehension or discovery of any per sons being guilty of any offence in the proclaimed districts. " The fourth power is to allocate any sum of money the Lord Lieutenant pleases, to the relations of any per son murdered in the proclaimed districts , or to any per son permanently injured in that district. " The fifth power given by the Act is that which makes the former power of allocating money to injured parties and their relations afflictive and grievous. There would be no objection to a reasonable allocation of money to compensate injured persons and their relations, but that should be done in a constitutional way, out of funds voted by Parliament, by annual votes. The ob jection to the fifth power is, its totally unconstitutional nature. _ _ This fifth power, the Lord Lieutenant by his pro clamation invests himself with, is that which enables him, if he thinks fit, to levy the most enormous sums of money from the occupying inhabitants of the proclaimed districts, merely at his will and pleasure, without con trol, without check, without any legal responsibility. " The sixth power enables the Lord -Lieutenant to appoint ' such person' or offices (these are the words of the Act) as he shall think fit, with full authority to make such rates as the Lord Lieutenant may deem ne cessary on every occupier whatsoever within the dis trict.' There is no limit to the Lord Lieutenant's ca price. The rate may amount to the entire value of the property of each occupier. No matter, a valid rate to the full extent of the last shilling the - occupiers are worth, may be made, and there i s no relief, no remedy, no traverse, no appeal. " Mark, my countrymen, such a Bill as this is called a Bill for the Protection of Property !!! Th e seventh power with the Lord .Lieutenaat ac quires by his own - proclamation, is that of levying and collecting such capricious rate, though it were, as I have said, to the full value of the property in the dis trict ; and such collection or levying' is to be made by the constabulary or other force in the district, who are authorised to destrain furniture, goods, chattles, cattle, corn, hay, potaatoends,toansdellinthsehodritstraellutlifeorpprayopmeretnyt ofof h provision of a mos t o pp ress i ve na t ure , that is , that the entire rate shall b e pay a bl e an d levied on the actu al occu p iers, and w hereas the rate is the e rate. T her es occupan t s , then, a " based upon the poor-rate yet the Bill contains this provision, that although persons holding lands under th e value of 4/.. a year are considered too poor to be charged with poor-rate, let these wretched paupers are charge able to the proclamation - rate to be made pursuant to this Bill. "Another provis ion of the Bill is e qually emphatic; it that is, the rich, from the payment of any and expressly provides th a t th e t e nant exempts (oh let this be held in perpetual recollection!) te a l s l'eet dednct from his landl or d a ny part part r e ot l e tin fu d pt l ih o ee r r d rs s ah , of the rates. "There have been already many coercion Bills for Ireland, but none of so unconstitutional a nature, as far as relates to levying money off the subjects. In that respect this Bill stands pre-eminent iu its unconstitu tional atrocity. "But to crown all, and as if it were in utter contempt of the Commons of what is called the United Kingdom, this Bill, with such enormous powers of taxation, is made to originate in the house of Lords, which house, all constitutional authority tells us, has no power what soever to orignate taxation. " We say with sorrowful respect for our masters, Lord St. Germans and others, that they ought not to carry their power of insulting the people of Ireland to quite so great an extent. A little moderation would become them, were it ever so little. " Let me, ho wever, in the exercise of my duty, remind our worthy Lords and masters that Lord Devon's com mission has told the world the astoundingfact that the agricultural population of Ireland, being more than four millions, ensure greater privations and suffering than any other people ia civilised Europe, THE JESUITS IN ENGLAND.

" Would it not be better to devote time, attention, and legislation to ameliorate in some degree the condition of so miserable a population, instead of devoting time, at tention, and legislation' to devise modes of unconstitu tional coercion for that unhappy people ? " There are many other horrible clauses in this Bill which I shall recur to again. But I wish to pause for one moment, to call the marked and deliberate at tention to the most important and absorbing considera tion of one simple fart. " That matter of fact is this, that the entire hope of the Bill treats with indiscriminate and undistinguishing severity the innocent as well as the guilty; and more especially that, in the attempt to detect a comparatively small number engaged in crime, punishment is not in flicted alone on the guilty smaller number, but is equally inflicted on the innocent great majority. " Thus, for example, a crime is committed, or obliged to be committed, for it is all the same, in one district or county, and immediately a proclamation may issue of outlawry, not only against the district or county in which the crime was committed, but also any adjoining dis trict or county. The number of criminals in such case would, at least in a'l probability, not exceed six or eight --the number of persons effectually punished in their property would amount to ten thousand, twenty thou sand, or perhaps one hundred thousand, or even more. " It is a =idol in our law, and often quoted by the be-t of our judges, that it is better that one hundred guilty should escape than that one innocent should suffer. This Bill, however, goes on a directly opposite principle. It punishes one hundred innocent, upon the chance of inflicting chastisement upon the one guilty. "And all this medley of legislation is facetiously called a union between Great Britain and Ireland. "I reserve the consideration of the other and most hideous clauses for my next letter. " For the present, I have only to observe, that it is re ported that Lord St. Germans has graciously conde scended to limit the duration of the Act to about four years. I hope and trust the firmness displayed by the Repeal Association has made him shrink from the more atrocious enactment ; but the little Lord is not to escape in that way. He formed, fostered, and matured the Bill, with all the odious tyranny of a perpetual law. If Ireland shall ever have justice done her, the iniquity of the project will, I trust, be adequately punished.- " For my part, I will not spare him a single observa tion. What a miserable estimate he must form of our love of constitutional rights. Freedom reckons by the hour—liberty is counted by the day—and he who would acquiesce in one day, one hour of servitude, is as despicable a miscreant as the base tyrant who imposes the chain. My fifth objection to the Bill is the unlimited power it gives over the persons of the Irish people. " By the 15th and 16th sections, any person who hap pens to be out of his place of abode, at any time from one hour after sunset until sunrise, may be arrested by any constable or policeman—that is, by anybody—and transported for fifteen years. Mark the offence, and mark the punishment. Gracions heaven ! fifteen years' transportation for being out of a man's house for five minutes. " It is not necessary to give any proof against him, but the fact of his being out in the open air. It is not ne cessary to prove that he was out for any unlawful pur rose. I repeat, the only proof under this Bill to enable the Court, whatever it may be, to condemn to fifteen years' transportation, is the mere fact of his being in the open air within the prohibited hours. " The prosecutor in such a case is bound to no proof of guilt ; but the unhappy prisoner is told he will be allowed to prove his innocence. "See what a total violation of the first principles of our criminal law is this ! Our criminal law declares em phatically, in the language of all the Judges, that every B-itish subject is to be deemed and taken as innocent until his guilt is proved—proved on the oath of wit-- nesses. But this Bill reverses the maxim, and declares the man guilty, unless he is able to prove, on the oath of witnesses, his innocence. "Fifteen years' transportation upon an accusation unless innocence be proved. "I have often spoke harshly of the Emperor Nicholas; but I will do him the justice to say that he never issued such a Ukase as this. " The sixth objection to the Act is another frightful power. It is one enabling the magistrates to issue a warrant to enable any person to break by force into any house in which liquor of any kind is sold, in a proclaimed district, and to arrest any person in the house not being an inmate or traveller, and such person, fOr the mere fact of being in such house in the prohibited hours, is liable to fifteen years' transportation. " Mark this—a man is found in a house where liqueur is sold, at night, unarmed, defenceless, and sfor that offence—offence !—he is liable to be transported for fifteen years. "I am sick of this Bill. There is a group of other offences, some not punishable at all at common law, and the others punishable only by fine or imprisonment, which are made liable, in proclaimed districts, to trans portation for fifteen years. " Two topics more, briefly touched, will bring me to a conclusit n. The first relites tOthe imperative necessity of every repealer exerting himseu to prevail on the people to keep the peace, and not to violate the law. There never was a period when it was so emphatically true, " That whoever commits a crime Strengthens the enemy.' " The next topic relates to what fills my.mind with the bitterest anguish, namely, the hideously mistaken and unconstitutional course that the Ministry adopt in respect to Ireland. We repealers are inost anxious to put an end to crime, and to see the country tranquil lised. We know that it can be done by adopting the proper course. Let the Irish people be conciliated. In stead of Coercion Bills, bring in Bills to equalise in Ireland the elective franchise with that in England. " Secondly.. Give Ireland her equal proportion of re presentatives in the House of Commons. Thirdly. Give Ireland equal municipal rights with England, and give them without reservation. "Fourthly. Above all things, immediately amend the law of landlord and tenant. Give to the landlord his adequate rent ; but secure to the tenant possession of the land until he shall be repaid for all actual improve ment made by him upon the premises. " Fifthly. Place the law of landlord and tenant upon the same footing with the law respecting all other con tracts, and take away all the relics of the feudal supe riority of the landlord. " Sixthly. Impose without delay a heavy absentee tax in Ireland upon all non-resident landlords, and apply the produce to lighten the burdens of county-cess and poor rates on the occupying tenants. " Let the Government do all these things before it presumes to bring to the House of Commons a Bill to trample down all constitutional rights and liberties. , They may deem it a shorter and easier course to , abro gate the constitution than to concede constitutional equality. "Is the Parliament of Britain only competent to coerce, and not to equalise the franchises and rights of both countries ? I believe so. " Still, there is one course open to them—it is that of abdicating a power which they abuse, and cannot apply to useful purposes. "Let them awow their incapacity, and restore to the People of Ireland their domestic legislature. Let them thus establish tranquillity and prosperity in Ireland, secure the stability of the throne, and the permanence of the connexion between both countries, " Believe me to be, very faithfully yours, "To M. Ray, Esq." " DANIEL O'CONNELL. Mr. GRATTAN, M.P., moved the insertion of the letter on the minutes, and then entered into an elaborate con demnation of the Coercion Bill, expressing his convic tion that penal enactments were wholly inadequate to meet the evils of the country. Till a better. feeling sprung up between the aristocracy and the people, there could be no peace in Ireland, and that consum mation could only be hoped for in a satisfactory and final adjustment of the landlord and tenant question.

GALWAY, MARCH 7.—We fear that the worst antici pations of the people, respecting the state of the potato crop, are about to be realised. Already the markets are but scantily supplied, and hundreds clamour for this almost necessary article of food, but cannot procure it even at exorbitant prices. It is really pitiable to witness crowds of poor creatures, whose means will not allow them to buy in a week's supply at the Saturday's market, looking, but in vain, for a day's food during the week. On Wednesday there was scarcely a cart load to be had for love or money, but since then some few baskets have been brought into the town for sale. • SLIGO, MARCH 7.—The famine anticipated by the failure of the potato crop has actually set in at Sligo. In the half-barony of Coolavin, a portion of the people are now without food, or the means of procuring it ; they are living on the bounty of their neighb ours, wholvill be u r we trust l 1) soon reduced to as sail and deplorable a c?ndition . as themselies.

" We allude to that accursed and illegal system of idolly-Maguitism,' equally condemned' by the. law of God and the law of the land; for, as the Apostle says, ' Let every soul be subject to higher powers, for there is no power but from God; and those that are ordained of God; therefore he that resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God, and they that resist purchase to, themselves damnation.' A system which encourages the midnight assassin as well as the noonday murderer— a system, the impious abettors of which hesitate not (for their interested purpose) to attribute even to the ministers of their religion a culpable indifference to the wants_ of the poor, and a base subserviency to the caprice of the rich, charges as wicked as they are false. " We are perfectly aware that the poor have many grievances to complain of, and that it is oar duty to aid in alleviating their sufferings ; but it is not by violence or outrage this great end can be attained ; it is by humble supplication to the Throne of Mercy, andin the midst of danger and of difficulty to place our entire con fidence in the God of Justice. We most earnestly exhort the opulent and the wealthy to be indulgent and charitable to the poor, to sympathise with them and their wants, rather than, by adhering too rigidly to their rights and privileges, provoke indignation, and thus in duce a people already too sensitive, vainly, and irre ligiously to imagine, that there is no redress for them, save by illegal combinations and lawless violence:" VICEREGAL COURT.—The Lord-Lieutenant - enter tained the following party at dinner on Saturdity, in Dublin Castle :—Hon.

COURT OF ALDERMEN. A Court of Aldermen was held on Tuesday, at which a long Ind interesting discussion took place upon the report of the Inspectors of Prisons upon the state of the city gaole. CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.-THE CORPORATION. The Loup MAYOR directed that the correspondence which took place between the Town Clerk and the clerk to Christ's Hospital, relative to the reception which the Lord Mayor might expect:to meet at the Hospital, upon going to visit the school on the public super nights, should be read. _ _ Upon the motion that the correspondenCe be entered on the repertory of the Court, The RECORDER intimated that the Court ought not to have such documents entered upon their journals. It would furnish evidence against themselves to have them upon the books, and if they inserted the application, they must necessarily enter the saucy answer.—(Hear, hear.) The LORD MAYOR—I shall have nothing to do with Christ's Hospital. I consider that I was acting dis creetly in directing the Town Clerk to write to Christ's Hospital, that I might not be charged with neglect of the privileges of my fellow citizens, but my right having been denied I shall go no more.—(Hear, hear.) The correspondence was then ordered to lie on the table. THE GAOLS OF THE CITY. Sir P. LAURIE rose to submit the motion of which he had given notice to the Court, " That the report of the Inspectors of Prisons relative to the gaols of the City be referred to a Special Committee, consisting of all the members of the Court, for consideration." He was glad that on the occasion upon which Alderman Wilson had brought forward a motion of importance. which could not have been properly discussed in a small Court, he had effectually interfered, by desiring that the Court should be counted. It would have been im possible at such an hour to answer a speech of great length, in which a proposal of communication with the ..Government was involved.—(Hear, hear.) His object was to induce the Court to proceed exactly in the same course as that on which they had proceeded in 1.836 and 1837, without entering into'the merits of the report of the Inspectors. He could not, however, help alluding to one statement which was made in that report. The inspectors represented that several of the Aldermen had expressed their approbation of the separate system. He did not know where they could have received that in formation. By whom bad they been enlightened as to that point? He would just state a fact or two in testimony of the happy effects of that sys tem. Bethlem Hospital, of which he was the governor, and which was doomed to receive all the insane of all the surrounding gaols, had not been burdened with a single mad inmate from any one of those places of confinement, with the exception of the Penitentiary at Milbank, and the New Prison at Pen tonville, the only prisons in which the system was strictly enforced.—(Hear, hear.) The one was so pro lific of unhappy victims of that sort of discipline as to produce sixteen lunatics in a few years, and the other, which was comparatively in its infancy, had al ready, although but four or five years old, contrived to prove its efficacy upon five unfortunate creatures who were at that moment under the only discipline which gave them a chance of recovery.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted the Court: would agree to his motion without entering into the matter of the report. Alderman SMN ____ Trowy sastsah q .,..e;0na41 tho of the statement made by Sir Peter Laurie, as to the supply of madmen from the City prisons, so highly complimented, to Bethlem Hospital,'and asked for exact numbers and dates. Sir PETER LAURIE (as our reporter understood him) believed that Pentonville Penitentiary had contributed at least one lunatic or madman annually since its erec tion; and that at Milbank, had sent in sixteen within the period of about six or seven years. The inspectors know very well how to select the prisoners best adapted to their views, as evidences of the efficacy of the prin ciple of separation. Alderman CHALLIS thought it would be advisable to drop the discussion in the Court, and to resume it in the Committee, where they could ascertain what alterations were practicable and eligible. Alderman Sidney rose and said it was certainly his intention to move an amendment upon Sir Peter Laurie's motion. He must say, that he differed essentially from his senior brother magistrates in his view of this im portant question. He did not view it in the light in which Sir Peter Laurie seemed to regard it. When Sir Peter Laurie wished to get rid of a subject, which happened to be disagreeable to him, he, with a great ap pearance of candour, rose to refer it to a Committee, well knowing that such reference would be the most sure mode of extinction.—(Laughter, and cries of " Hear, hear," and " No, no.") The fate of all the reports hitherto made upon the subject adequately proved that the readiest way to stop inquiry was to call for a Corn mittee.—(Murmurs.) Had they not been for the last seven years assailed by reports as strong as that to which attention had been made, and were they to goon perpetu ally referring, and reporting, and doing nothing ? The present state of the City prisons reflected dis honour upon those who had the power of producing a reformation in them. In a Committee it was a matter of much difficulty to get gentlemen to attend to and examine the details. The whole history of the gaol dis cipline of the city of London exhibited the want of that vigour and energy, without which the prisoner could not be reformed, society could not be protected from conta mination, and the city of London and its magistrates could not escape condemnation and obloquy.—(Hear, hear.) He was ready to admit that the City prisons were at present much better than they had been in days gone by.—(Hear, and laughter.) He acknowledged that such was the case ; but he denied that the improve ment was much better than a mere contrast to what it ought to be, looking at the means which the city of London had at its disposal, and the authority which it exercised in effecting improvements of another kind. He denied that the separate system was calculated to produce insanity, or any other malady of the kind. He believed, on the contrary, that it brought back the mind to a healthy condition, and strengthened its moral tendencies ; and there were instances in which persons, whose progenitors had been subject to mental disease, who were indebted to the operation of that system for a marked improvement in their conduct and character. — (A laugh, and cries of " Hear, hear.") The Alderman here read quotations from the observations of the Rev. Mr. Clay, the chaplain to the Preston House of Correc tion, on the separate system, and showed the decrease of crime in the North Lancashire district, ascribable, in the opinion of the reverend gentleman, to the system he commended. (He here-read a variety of documents, inspetore.) uments,in favour of the views and op inions ex p ressed He gathered that information from the report of the in spectors. Was it then to be said that the City of Lon don was to remain neutral under such circumstances Every syllable uttered by the inspectors in condemna tion of the City prisons was accurately true. He was himself a witness to the frightful evils of the want of discipline in them. What could be expected from a plan which permitted twenty-six men, some of them convicts, and others untried, and some likely to be acquitted, to be lacked up for several hours togetheri n idleness ? (Hear, hear.) Could it be supposed that those who escaped would do otherwise than, upon their discharge after such contamination, join, and be the captains of bands of thieves, become greater adepts, and at last dis appear altogether by transportation or the gallows ? (Hear, hear.) He hoped the Court would look seriously at such a picture, which presented no exaggeration. He, for one, would never consent to the continuation of the evils be so feebly described, but society so dreadfully suffered from.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman Sidney con cluded by moving an amendment, " That it be referred to a Committee immediately to inquire as to the most elegible place in which to build a new prison adapted to the plan of the separate system." The Alderman had, in the course of his speech, referred m.)st particularly to Reading Gaol and Preston House of Correction. Alderman FAREBROTITF.R said the preceding speaker had been profuse in his quotations from the Prison In spector's reports of the two crack gaols of the kingdom —Reading county gaol, and Preston House of Correc tion. If a man wished to refute his own arguments, the next best thing to writing a book was quotingf rom one. Mr. Clay, the chaplain to the Preston House of Correc tion, who had written so fully to Alderman Sidney, ap peared to be a very communicative gentleman, and fond of a very numerous, if not a very select class of corre spondents. In the report of the Prison Inspector, which .to he hold in his hand, there was a rich specimen,ir,lanof epts e lary correspondence with the worthy .p ; . d and correspondence wotdd b supposed in the next anneualraisreedpotrot Alderman Sidney's dittiaction. The worthy Alderman had expatiated in //~ 'L ~` -~ - z the most lively strain upon the correcting influence which the separate system was calculated to exert over the life and conduct of the frail portion of the community sub jected to its operation. Thy was, however, a quality connected wit scription of discipline to which neither the Chaplain nor his present correspondent had adverted ; but he would, from the blue book which he held in his hand, supply that great omission, and show to the Court the attractive side of the picture, as his brother Magistrate had indulged in describing only its darker shades. That blue book, it should be remembered, was not a romance, or a novel, but a serious and pious document under the hand and seal of the most grave and Reverend Prison Inspector, which, as the title of the book ostentatiously stated, had been " presented to both Houses of Parliament by com mand of her Majesty," for the instruction of members, and printed and circulated for the edification of the public at large.—(Hear, hear.) The letter was addressed to the chaplain of the Preston Gaol, but, as was cus tomary with the correspondence in these reports, the name of the writer was not given. It ran thus, familiarly and kindly— " Dear sir,—l hope you will excuse the liberty I take, as a stranger, in writing these few lines to you. I read an account of the new Penitentiary at Preston a short time ago in Chambers' Edinburgh Journal, and my reason for writing this is, that I wish to subject myself to the dia. cip!ine of the prison for twelvemonths, without commit- iog any crime.—(A laugh.) lam a young man of very respectable family ; my friends are wealthy, and lam myself possessed of a g ood property ; money is not an object to me, compar atively speaking, but I have unfortunately within the last two years got into a habit of drinking too freely, to my very great injury, and distress to my friends, and I am convinced the only plan to break myself is to cut myself off en tirely from it, but unfortunately I have not resolution enough as long as I am at liberty, and I have, therefore, made up my mind to shut myself up.—(Laughter.) I wish to be in a separate cell, and have a handloom to weave at—(Great laughter,)—which I understand, having learnt it a few years ago for my own pastime ; and I intend to pursue the cold bathing system with the water supplied to the cell, and the drinking of cold water also, as recommended by the Hydropathic estab lishments now in use in England and on the continent. — (Laughter.) I feel very anxious about it, and, as I said, money is not an object. lam willing to pay . down 201. as soon as I am admitted, which will insure the institution from any loss; but I do hope you will take the thing into consideration, and let me have a favourable 'answer soon. I hope you will not refuse me suddenly, ' but if you think a personal interview with any of the inspectors or managers of the prison would further my views, I could come over to Preston on purpose, to make an arrangement as for certain. Nothing can lure me from my purpose, though I should be sorry to have to commit crime for the purpose of getting in, as it would so much distress my friends. lam twenty-three years of age, of a good constitution, and have never suffered from sick ness at all, so that I am certain my bodily health would be good and I should give no trouble, but stick steadily to my work.—(Great laughter.) I shall feel very grate ful if you will be kind enough to drop me a line by re turn of post, and, as I am a stranger in Preston, please send me word how I can be admitted to see the interior - of a prison, and whether you would have conversation with me yourself, if I were to come over in the course of a week. I shall be very anxious for a favourable answer as soon as you can make it convenient.—And I remain, Sir, yours truly." As soon as the Court recovered from its fit of laughter, Alderman FAREDROTHER proceeded—The letter, as was proper amongst gentlemen, received a speedy answer from the worthy chaplain. The contents of that answer were modestly withheld, but it might be inferred from the tone of the next letter, that the authorities of Preston held out to the youth of twenty-three, some hope of a domicile within the sequestered bowers of Preston House of Correction ; but in order to make as surance of admission, a sly hint was contained in the next letter, that if he could not be allowed to show its benefits without committing crime, he would consult an attorney, who would doubtless provide him with a passport to the great object of his desires.—(Hear, hear, and laughter). What had been the result of that flirtation between the chaplain and his unnamed cor respondent did not appear, but the following letter closed the correspondence, which the chaplain had deemed a sufficiently important voucher of the merits of his pet system of solitary confinement to get embalmed in the inspector's report. " Dear Sir—l received your letter on Saturday last, and am much obliged for your promptness in answering mine. As you say, my requ, st is extraordinary, but my determination has been long formed, and I am not at all inclined to change it. I feel very anxious to hear from you again, and hope the visiting magistrate will decide upon admitting :me, as I wculd much rather make my journey across the country to them two ; however, if he make any objection I shall come over to Preston, call to examine the establishment, and consult with an attorney about the affair, for nothing but 12 m onths in a solitary cell, with la bour, &c., will satisfy my mind— (Roars of laughter)—for lam quite certain the benefit I shall derive will far more than counter balance any inconvenience I may suffer. Anxiously waiting your reply, I remain, Sir, yours respectfully."— (Laughter.) From the foregoing specimen of the con tents of the prison reports, the public might learn how the time of the prison officers and prison inspectors had been wasted, and the public money consumed, by get ting up such trashy stuff.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that the public would have their eyes opened to the de lusion attempted to be practised upon them by repre sentations respecting the solitary, or, as it was now called, the separate system. The change of names did not change the nature of things, and it would he found insufficient to exchange the name of solitar ssz ni t ts e c a o n e L fine m m a e c i t tr u l g ess itshoeiztidoesn.t_ (Hear, hear. The theory upon which the advocates of the sepa rate system relied was, that men would be deterred from the commission of crime by the anprehension of the dreary solitude to which they would be consigned, so frightfully injurious to both the mental and bodily health of the victims of that system. Had that de scription of solitude proved that an abundant supply of officers was required, in every gaol where it prevailed, to avert, by frequent visits at the cells, those fearful con sequences ? —(Hear, hear.) If that relaxation of the system became necessary to the preservation of mental what would become of the argument i'Aeation of the system rested—namely, to deter the prisoners from the --(Hear, hear.)

He re peated, he was not inimical to substantial and rational improvement, but be was opposed to the system of soli tary confinement of untried prisoners, which it was the purpose of the inspectors to force upon them. The country would, before long, find out the enormous cost which these experiments would cast upon it. Besides the cost of constructing the gaols upon that system, the annual expense would be immense. It might suit the purpose of the promoters of the system to keep down the amount for a time, but the enormous staff of officers which would be required to teach and talk to the prisoners to chase away the depressing COD sequences of solitude, must add to the country a 5 overwhelming nominal sum.—(Hear, hear.) - The nomi nal cost of persons subjected to that system of 'canfine between 301. and 401. a year. To what sum it.might ;la ment, in the early stage o f the business, amounted to crease, when the system was fairly established, it was impossible to state. The Alderman concluded by ex pressing the strong indignation lie felt at the ingenious attempts to excite sympathy for the most abandoned criminals, at the same time that the poor and the help less seemed to be wholly left to their own resources, as far as the interposition of Government was concerned. Sir J. DUKE said it was quite impossible to alter New gate in such a manner as to adapt it as a gaol for the separate system. It would be better to pull down that prison than to attempt any alteration of the kind. Alderman LUCAS declared that he was a decided enemy to solitary confinement, as he believed, upon un questionable authority, that it was calculated to produce insanity in the unfortunate creatures who were subjected to it. That was one of the parts of the system in the notorious Bastile, which was the abhorrence and detesta tion of the Christian world, and which every friend of humanity rejoiced to see utterly destroyed. Alderman SIDNEY having, at the suggestion of several Members of the Court, withdrawn his amendment, Alderman WILsoN rose to propose an amendment to the effect of holding a conference with Sir J. Graham upon the subject of the necessity of constructing a new prison, as comprehended in his (Alderman Wilson's) motion 'upon the day the Court was adjourned, on account of the small number of members present. He ably advo cated the view taken by Alderman Sidney upon this subject, and contended that not a single argument had been urged upon the other side calculated to weaken the effect of the inspectors' report, which represented the existence of evils which, if not soon remedied by the City authorities, must certainly find active opponents in the Aministration. He considered that the magis trates of this City betrayed a strong tendency to the very desire which they foolishly supposed was a neces sary consequence of the separate system, when they thus pertinaciously adhered to a mock discipline, which all society pronounced to be ruinous to the morals of the people. Sir PETER LAURIE suggested that it would be ab surd in the court to go to the Secretary of State, thnwithat - out having examined the inspectors report. I report arc several sta t eme nts which had not the lea st foundation in truth; and not hin g could equal the fully of the inference drawn from the alle g ed consequences of the separate system, that it was calculated to prevent any attack of here ditar y mental disease. Several members entre ated Alderman IS 'Non to with draw his amendm ent, as they considered unanimity of however most pesitively refused, and upon the questioss great consequence on such an oecasion. The Alderman being put, there were three hands held up for his amend ment, and four against it. The inspectors' report was finally, according to the motion of Sir Peter Laurie, referred to a committee of the whole Court. The directors of the Eastern Counties Railway haie given the liberal donation of 25 guineas to the testimonial to the widow and family of Mr. W. F. Pierce, the superin tendent of the H division of Metropolitan Police, who fer ten years rendered every a ss i s t ance in hispower to railway com patties and their officers.
