OF THE UNlTEngipx,' and triumphant glisefr' the nation hails the deliverance of its restrictions of a false and unrighteous incomplete without the recognition of agency to which this glorious consumnaseborv 4 4o9Mle tially indebted. Now that the battle is ought, the victory won, and the charter of industrial liberty finally recorded in the statute-book, and made part and parcel of thelaw of these realms, it is felt that this striagale ought not'to pass away—cannot pass ray—without leaving behind it some enduring memorial of national gratitude :and •honour to the man by whose untiring exertions, unsparing self-sacrifice, sleepless vigilance, immoveable fidelity to principle, and unrivalled wisdom and prudence of leadership, this great success has been achieved. The British people need not be told that it is to Richard - Cobden, aided by his able, earnest, and eloquent coadjutors, that this country mainly owes that Act which will render the year 1846 memorable in our annals. " The historian of the national struggle, now victoriously concluded, will dwell with grateful wonder on the record of those labours of which every Englishman is now sum-, moned to testify his appreciation. As the annal 4 of the nation show no example of a social effort by - which so vast a sum of good has been purchased at so light a cost even of transient and incidental evil, it w re vain Bice wise to seek an historical parallel to those services which the late League leader has rendered to country and to humanity. The name of Richard Cob den, as of the Anti:Corn-law League, stands alone. An Englishman, of the middle rank of life, whom nature indeed marked for a statesman, and whom the circum stances of birth, occupation, and social position, have for tunately identified with the community of the in dustrious classes, undertakes amidst infinite difficulties and discouragement, the task of creating a public opinion in unison with public rights and interests, and of identi fying the unrestricted intercourse of nations with the standard of. the true philosophy of the wealth of nations. Never was a more arduous enterprise—never a more brilliant success. Within a period of little more than, seven short years our commercial reformer has indoctri nated the people and the Legislature alike with the bene ficent and comprehensive principles of economical science —stamped the impress of his own convictions on the mind of an entire generation of statesmen ; and, sup ported by that extraordinary popular power, which his genius had schooled to telf-organisation, wrested a fondly cherished monopoly from the powerful dominipu _c " Such a victory has, however, not been won bat at a heavy cost to the victor. The post of honour and triumph has been also that of labour and self-sacrifice. We speak of the " seven short years" in which the free trade movement has, from his first phase of unheeded and hopeless seeming appeals to an uninformed, apathe tic, and prejudiced public, passed into final statutory realisation. The interval truly is abort in the history of a people. Seven years are short indeed, considered as the term of a nation's apprenticeship to political science. Tried by another and a more limited standard of mensu ration, seven Years are a large deduction from the life time of the individual. Seven years of unresisting toil, and unrelaxing mental tension ; seven years abstracted from the ordinary associations and enjoyments of life, and given to labours which only the impelling sense of duty and the animating consciousness of power could have made endurable ;—tbis is a sacrifice whose magni tude our moral arithmetic can less easily compute. To say that this self-infliction has been as cheerfully sus tained, as it was spontaneously undertaken, is but to say that the rights of industry have been championed by one worthy of the noblest cause that ever fired the zeal and braced the energies of a true man. " It is now for the British people to consecrate this great success by a fitting expression of gratitude and honour to the man who, foremost of us all, has been the organiser of that power of enlightened public opinion to which industry owes its enfranchisement. A moral vic tory so pure and peaceful, so righteous and beneficent, so fruitful of blessings that, in their ultimate scope, are wide as the world and enduring as time—begin ning with one great and simple act of national policy and justice, and tending, in its remoter aims, to regene rate the public opinion of mankind, to cement the bonds of amity and brotherhood among nations, to promote the intercourse that civilise and humanise, to supersede, by community of interest and mutuality of dependence, a difficult and irritating commercial diplomacy, and to guarantee, by new securities, the reign of peace on earth and goodwill among men—such a victory, as it is with out example in the annals of states, should be commemo rated on a scale unknown to historical precedent. The statesman who, unaided by party connexion or official position, has succeeded in giving statutory validity to a just and noble principle—the civic hero who has mar shalled a people in bloodless strife, and conquered for them the blessings of prosperous industry—the English man who has payed his country in the' world's front rank, and vindicated her ancient prerogative of " teach ing nations how to live"—this is the man whom civil ised and Christian England should delight to honour. "To the countrymen of Richard Cobden appeal is now made. The appeal is to all, for all are partici pators in the fruits of his beneficent toils. To all classes, sections, and parties of this British people is the invitation now given to testify, as such a people alone can testify, a just and generous appreciation of services, of which even future generations will reap an ever ripening harvest, but which it belongs to the present to reward. On behalf of the committee, " W. B. WATKINS (Mayor), Chairman. " Town-hall, Manchester, July 2." PRICE SD• LETTER OF EBENEZER ELLIOTT CIA'rION. " June 26th, 1846 . " Sirs,--I know not how to requite you for electing me a useless member of your body; I am too poor to subscribe to your funds; and it says little for my wisdom that I never yet met with an association willing to follow my advice. The Trades Unionists would not follow it when I advised them to help the Free Trader; and the Chartists, howling in my face, joined the common enemy. Trades unions may have benefited the unionists at the expense of victims like themselves, but I cannot help thinking that their funds might have been better employed than in breaking the hearts of starved mothers; believing, as I do, that the money expended by them, might have conferred the county franchise on a na!,j ority of their members. One great object of all associations aiming to ameliorate the condition of the masses, ought now to be the county franchise; with, or without such associations, that franchise, I believe, is within the reach of almost all our mechanic!, both in towns and villages : by obtaining it they would increase their usefulness, secure their well-being, and command respect. Let the county franchise be once ob tained by them, and wealth and station will be respected as they ought ; but we shall see no more doffing of Pay-All's hat to Squire Starvation and his apes, for the honour•of being robbed and insulted. One of the results of the uncontrolled rule of the few is, that there is not an acre of appropriated land in this country that has not been at some time stolen by due course of law—so called ; and it follows that no man now can buy an acre or an inch of land that has not been so stolen. You can honestly obtain the county franchise by buying, land according to the law of the land, as every man must do who buys land 'anywhere ; but the fact which I have stated is unimpeachable, and the past cannot be retrieved. Make good use, then, of the future. Unless men ought to be stifled on the seventh day, because their occupations imprison them the six preceding days, all public footpaths should be held sacred ; at least, until the State shall have supplied every consider-. able town with free public walks and gardens, suffi ciently extensive to secure (as far as out•aoor recreation' can) the public health. If free-trade should happily be . obtained in our day, the inclosure of waste lands cannot be prevented ; every acre of such land, capable of pro fitable cultivation will inevitably be cultivated. Your business, then, will be (if the enemy shall have left any waste land uninclosed) to take care th at snchland shall be cultivated for the public benefit alone ; and who can r t e i l n a g nd o s f , fo b o u t t pa d t o h s, otherand have a better claim to wa ste land near the town than the inhabitants ? O btain the count y franchise, and y ou preventpprop tliiaetaiornbitorfar waste ,a closing good to yourselves, to your children, and ther age—to unborn millions Oh, infinite, endless good, w i th ev il to none! If the insane never co-oper a t e; if th e i ns ti nc t of self-preservation sometimes fo rces th e sane , w h e n the et unjust only oppressed, to co-operate ; if public oppressors always co-operate, and if you already feel the might of honest co-operation, look back for a moment on the authors of your past miseries, and be convinced that institutional power (for right or wrong) is like the Indian tree, which, spreading its roots on all sides, throws up a new stem at each ramification 1 Your enemies know this well. Obtain the county franchise then, and defeat them for ever ! EBENEZBR ELLIOTT, " Great Houghton, near Barnsley." [We are glad to see that Ebenezer Elliott is again in the field. Be it never forgotten that Ebenezer Elliott, " The Corn-law Rhymer,' was the first to denounce the • __________ iniquity of the corn-laws. Years before the League was in existence, he was a " total and immediate repealer." He is not a rich man. Let not his claims be forgotten by his countrymen. We hope to see a subscription opened for an Elliott testimonial. He is a good man - and true. He, in evil days, stood up for the glorious doctrines of free trade, when to stand up for those doc trines was a service of danger. Let not his claims be overlooked in the hour of victory. Who will subscribe for a testimonial to the author of " Corn-law Rhymes," the poet of the People ?] —ED. Sun.

The various mess-rooms are to'be regularly visited at meal hours by officers appointed by the superinten dent for that purpose. 67. The duty of these officers will be to see that the provisions are equally distributed to the several messes ; that they are of full allowance, wholesome and well cooked, and that the conduct of the womenat their meals is regular. On these points, as well as on any com plaints made by the women as regards diet, daily re ports will be made to the superintendent. These reports must be so full as to enable the superintendent to judge of the duty having been properly performed.. 68. The various wards, dormitories, and places of con finement must be frequently visited during the day by the chief assistant, who will be particularly careful that proper ventilation is attended to, so that there is 116 damp. 69.

SIR ROBERT PEEL MANCHESTER ADDRESSES. (From the Manchester Guardian.) The following communications have been received from Sir Robert Peel, in answer to the Addresses for warded to the Right Hon. Baronet from the different bodies in this town, which we have already noticed: — Drayton Manor, July 3, 1846. Gentlemen—The severe pressure of public business, which did not admit of delay, has deprived me, until this day, of the opportunity of returning my grateful acknowledgments to the bankers, merchants, and manu. facturers of Manchester, who have signed the address which I have recently had the honour of receiving from that town. I thank them sincerely for the approbation of my conduct which they have expressed, and especially for the justice they have done to the motives by which alone I have been influenced, in recommending and supporting to the utmost of my power, important measures con nected with our commercial policy, which have at length received the sanction of Parliament. Though I have felt it to be my duty to relinquish office, I shall be prepared to lend, in a private capacity, my cordial assistance in the continual application of the principles on which those measures are founded.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your faithful servant, (Signed) ROBERT PEEL. The Mayor of Manchester. The President of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures. The President of the Commercial Association. Malcolm Ross, Esq., &c. &c. . _ . TQ THE DIRECTORS OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND MANUFACTURES AT MANCHESTER. Drayton Manor, July 4, 1846. Gentlemen,— I have this day had the honour of re ceiving the address from the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures at Manchester, transmitted to me by the president. That address I shall not fail to communicate to the ettivir.X.e.mbers of the GoYernment 11110121 as been lately It was mainly through their cordial and zealous co operation that I was enabled to conduct to a successful issue, the measures which it was my duty to propose at the commencement of the present Session, for the re moval of many of the remaining restraints on commerce, and for the repeal of taxes on corn, cattle, meat, and all the first necessaries of life. To myself personally this address must be peculiarly gratifying, on account of the place from which it pro ceeds, and en account of your connexion with manu facturing interests and occupations, to which lam so deeply indebted. My late colleagues will, lam confident. fully participate in the satisfaction which I have derived from an address which approves so warmly of our con duct, and does such ample justice to our motives. In returning my acknowledgments, allow me to make a remark, which could not be addressed more appropri ately to any other body, and in the truth of which no other body would, I am confident, more readily acquiesce. Although, as might naturally be expected, the mea sures for the repeal of the corn and provision laws were encountered by a very able and vehement opposition in Parliament, yet full justice has not been done to the great moderation and forbearance which were generally displayed by that class of the community, which is im mediately and practically concerned in the occupations of agriculture. They were equally displayed by that class in every part of the empire, in Scotland and Ireland, as well as in this part of the United Kingdom. During the whole progress of the measures through Parliament, there was no disposition on their part mani fested to offer or encourage any obstruction not required for the purposes of fair discussion, or to insist pertina ciously on the continued maintenance of protective duties for the benefit of a particular class. Of this I am confident, that nothing passed during the heat of the conflict which, now that it is closed, ought to prevent the establishment of cordial harmony and good-will between the agricultural and manufactur ing classes. It is indeed to be hoped, that one of the happiest re sults of the measures which have been sanctioned (as I believe, finally and irrevocably sanctioned) by Parlia ment, will be the determination of constantly recurring and irritating discussions, and the removal of all causes of jeolousy and contention between those who, though occupied in different departments of industry, have in terests that are inseparably interwoven. I thank you for the hearty good wishes you express for my welfare. I can claim no credit for any personal sacrifice in relinquishing office. With whatever pertinacity I would have adhered to it, if such adherence had been essential, or manifestly conducive to the final success of the commercial mea sures of the present session, yet, now that they are I am satisfied that, in the pres ent state of affairs, and those passed, of ld r i s e a t p i r p e i f n r t o m m e n o t feelings little akin to in the present position of political parties, it is for the ffi or ce re w g i r t e h t. public advantage that the power which official station confers should be transferred to other hands, and trans ferred without a protracted struggle. Being so satisfied, I cordially rejoice on every private ground that I am relieved from a burden which was be yond my strength, and am exempted from sacrifices for which nothing could compensate but the ability to render public service. Be assured that, in a private station, I shall give my continued support to those principles of commercial legislation which have been approved equally by the deductions of reason and by the results of p ractical ex periment, and that I shall rejoice in th e p rogress of all measures, adopted with due caution a nd circumspection, that shall be calculated, by extend in g commerce, to give additional security for general p eace, and by ensuring their just reward to skill a nd industry, to lay the best foundation for the inte llectual and moral- improvement of the people.—l ha ve the honour to be, gentlemen, your faithful servant, ROBERT PEEL.

The following remulas of the Probationary Es tablishment for Female Gicts in Van Diemen's Land have been approved by 'Excellency the Lieutenant- Governor, and are to be ,ctly carried out by all per sons employed in this bra of the convict department. M. F 04111,, Comptroller-Gener al. I. All female convicts sving in Van Diemen's Land will be placed under pritionary restriction and dis cipline for at least six iiths previously to becoming passholders. 2. In this stage of propon the attainment of two ob; jects is contemplated, " lishment and reformation. The first will be secured Ithe due application of coer cive labour and restrictivdiscipline ; the second, it is hoped, will be attained byicans of religious and moral influences, and by the. card inculcation of industry and regularity. 3. The systematic emplen en t of such means as in struments of reformation, , is expected, will prepare the women for a gradual rtoration to freedom , with benefit to themselves anci t d v antage to society ; but they must understand th; until they have afforded satisfactory evidence of an n d me nt and improvement , they will not be permitted t emerge from this stage of probation into that of pa.siolders, in which they will have an opportunity of ataining wages in private service. restrictive i ll; ive impressed discipline they the ae im undergoing that 4.

Kind treatment and mild language are perfectly compatible witb,,,,statiet and systepytth!_ ii"dirif. — Women Or - humbliT attainments and capacity are not on that account to be more rigorously dealt with than those of superior aoquirements ; but women of a restless disposition will be placed at such description of work as requires the closest and most unvarying atten tion, and be kept under the separate system, whenever such can be enforced. _ 7. No female convict, whilst under probationary re striction, will be entrusted with power or authority over the others, nor be employed in any permanent situation of ease or trust, on account of her ability or usefulness, or from motives of expediency. 8. This regulation will not prevent the employment of women, as hereafter pointed out, in the performance of the daily duties of the establishment, or as ser vants to such officers of the establishment as are allowed attendance. 9. All articles of indulgence, such as tea, tobactto, &c., are strictly prohibited. Nothing in addition to the rations and clothing supplied by the Government, which are ample, will be allowed. CLASSIFICATION. 10. The discipline of the establishment—the efficacy of the system—and the present as well as the future comfort of the women, depend much upon proper classi fication. To this object, therefore, the utmost attention must be given by the superintendent and matron, who in their arrangement into classes of the women when first received into the establishment, will be greatly guided by the reports made by the surgeon-superintendent, as to the general character and conduct of each woman whilst under his charge. 11. There will be three classes—the first will be composed of the best conducted women who have been ongest in the establishment, and who are, therefore, nearest to emergence ; the second of those who, al though generally well conducted, are not so regular as the women of the first class, and have not been so long in the establishment ; and the third will consist of the disobedient and intractable. The superintendent is hereby ordered to follow this plan, and not on any ac count to classify by ships' companies. 12. Each class will be divided into messes of ten. The women of the Ist and 2nd classes will be allowed to se lect their own mess associates. One woman of each of the messes will have charge of its details, and will be responsible for them to the warden in charge of the class. EMPLOYMENT. .13. As a general rule, the women will perform every description of work for themselves and for the advantage of the establishment, which they can accomplish. They are to be kept in constant employment, and at such work as may be from time to time provided. In its perform ance, the officers under whose superintendence the women immediately are, will see that they are indus • trious and pains-taking, and that no intermission of work is allowed during the hours allotted for that pur pose. 14. The women employed in the daily duties of the establishment, such as cleaning, washing, scrubbing, &e., which can _ be performed by the women generally, will J servants liMa ftt store asszstants and wi e LatSnndants, women as have been classed as passholders. In the event of passholders not being found for such employ ment, women who have finished two-thirds of their term of probation in the establishment, with uninterrupted good conduct, and who are in the Ist class, may be em ployed. 15. Servants will not be allowed gratuitously to the superintendent, matron, religious instructor, or medical officer. A charge of 6d. a day will be made for such of the women as they employ as servants. The other officers will be allowed attendance, selected as already directed, in the proportion of one female servant for two officers. 16. The officers, however, will respectively be allowed washing according to the scale appended ; the same being performed by the women employed in that duty. They will also be allowed to employ women at the rate of Is. a day for each woman so employed. 17. Beyond this, the women are not to be employed in any manner whatever for the profit or advantage of any officer of the establishment, or of any other individual. The entire proceeds of their labour will be for the ad vantage of the convict service alone ; and all money received for work done for private indivividuals, accord ing to the scale annexed, will be paid monthly by the superintendent to the assistant-comptroller. 18. The afternoon of Saturday will be devoted to a careful inspection of the clothing of the women, and of the messing utensils, and other articles of bedding and furniture. The women will, besides, repair their clothing and otherwise prepare for Sunday, so - that it may be kept holy and as a day of rest. 19. All women who cannot read and write with tolerable ease and accuracy, will attend the schools, as will such others as may desire to do so. A cheerful obedience to the school regulations will be required, and great care will be taken that the iguorant are never so employed as to prevent their receiving daily school in struction. 20. The women will go to bed at nine o'clock in sum mer, and eight o'clock in winter, getting up throughout the year at sunrise. SUPERINTENDENT AND MATRON. 21. The position of the superintendent and of the matron of the probationary establishment for females is one of very great responsibility and trust. The bene ficial effects of probation depend chiefly on their judicious and careful management. Their whole time and atten tion, therefore, should be devoted to the duties of their respective situations. The introduction and maintenance among the women, and generally throughout the estab lishment, of habits of industry, cleanliness, order, and obedience, require their zealous and unceasing care. In the performance of their duties they have the aid of able assistants, who must cheerfully obey and zealously co-operate with them. . 22. The superintendent will receive his instructions through the Comptroller-General. These aro to be fully and fairly carried into effect. and no departure from them will be allowed. 23. The superintendent and matron must not be absent from the establishment during the night, and should avoid being absent together during the day. In the event, however, of necessity requiring them to be so by day, their absence must not exceed three hours. 24. The superintendent will prevent any communica tion with the women by unauthorised persons. He will also prevent letters or parcels being sent or received by the women through any other medium than himself or the matron. 25. In any unavoidable absence of the resident reli gious instructor, the superi ntendent or matron will r e ad morning and evening prayers . ; but no minister o r lay man, excepting the authorised re ligious _ instructors, will be permitted to o ffi c i a te, or to afford instruction without women according to the form special authority.. 26. The superintendent and . matron will visit the school daily, and afford every assistance to the religious instructors in conducting them. They will also, con jointly, make minute monthly reports of the conduct and dispgreat attention is required to Governor's infor on the part of the 27.

These books will be magistrate/ whenever he visits mis conduct which he or the with ; but the superintendent will be careful not to in flict any punishments laid before the visiting on te the establishment, and an extract from them , and from troller the magistrate's visiting book, will bgenerale forwarded h by the last superintendent to the comp day of each month. 29. The superintendent will specially request the at tention of the religious instructors and medical officer to the case of any woman whos e condition, msntal or bo dil y , requires particular attention ; and, wh ere the treatm ent or discipline in any case is found by the se o ff i cers to be attended with injurious effects, it may be , modified, a re port being immediately made to the comptroller-general and principal medical officer. 30. The superintendent or matron will visit once tat leust every twenty-four hours, every ward, division, separate apartment, and cell in the establishment, and enter such visit in their respective journals. The super intendent will' also satisfy himself daily that the provi sions furnished for the use of the women are good in quality and correct in quantity, immediately reporting any deficiency in either to the commissariat. 31. The superintendent and matron will also fre quently visit the women. whilst at their meals, and the provisions are of the full allowance, wholesome, and well cooked. 32. The superintendent will ascertain that the several branches of the establishment are securely locked up at nine o'clock at night in summer, and at eight in winter, and the keys deposited with him; and these are to remain in his possession till sunrise the following morning. 33. During the night, in cases of emergency, ingress to the women's wards is to be allowed to the med►cal officer or religious instructors ; but on such occasions, the matron, or one of her assistants, is to be present. These visits, and'the circumstances rendering them ne cessary, will be recorded in the superintendent's journal book. 34. The illness of any of the women is to be imme diately notified by the superintendent to the medical officer, by whom daily lists of the sick will be furnished. The superintendent's daily lists of women under separate treatment, or in solitary confinement, will be furn by the superintendent to the medical officer, as well as to the religious instructors. In the event of the dan gerous illness or death of any woman, the superinten dent will make an immediate report to the principal me dical officer and comptroller-general, and if the death be sudden, to the coroner of the district. 35. The superintendent will read and explain weekly to the women under his charge, those parts of the regu lations which immediately affect their condition. He will also have the orders suspended, printed in legible characters, in each of the divisions and wards of the establishment. Lists of passholders, and their respec tive classes, will also be suspended for the information et the public. bedding, &c., are a, - superintendent, and he is responsible for the same. The immediate care of the stores will rest, however, with one of the officers, to be named by the superintendent. 37. The superintendent will afford every facility to the officers of the Commissariat and Ordnance Depart ments when their duties lead them to visit the esta blishment. • ASSISTANTS, TEACHERS, WARDERS, AND OTHER OFFICERS, 38. The assistants, teachers, warders and other officers will strictly conform to the rules of the establishment, obey the directions of the superintendent and matron, and zealously assist them in maintaining order and disci pline. They are not to be absent without leave from the superintendent, and then only during the day, and never for more than four hours. 39. The general and special duties of each assistant and other officer will be determined by the superintendent, and will be entered in a book to be kept by each officer for that purpose. 40. Written reports will be made by the assistants and warders daily in a report book, with which they are all provided, on such subjects as may be necessary to be brought under the notice of the superintendent,- more particularly as regards the conduct of the women imme diately under their charge. In cases of emergency, verbal reports will be made, but these must be afterwards recorded. PUBLICATIONS.

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS, (An Essay for 1846.) " Of human ills and frailties I discourse, Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd. Of griefs concealed, and disappointments keen, Which young and gentle, the matured and sage, The lonely and the mated—all sustain. In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n, How health, how trope, how happiness to gain." WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID ; With Diet Tables for all Complaints. Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein contained the feeble, the n?r yeasty delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health fall threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in theiriseveral healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities In the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fill - filling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lik e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowarof their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION. 41. Divine service will be performed by the respec tive religious instructors in the morning and afternoon of every Sunday, Christmas-day, and Good Friday, at such hours as may be determined on by the superinten dent. Prayers are also to be read daily, in the morning and in the evening, by the' resident religious instructor. 42. The religious instructors will have the general superintendence and interior management of the daily and Sunday schools, in which they will be aided by the school-assistants. 43. The religious instructors are to make themselves acquainted with the women of their respective flocks in dividually, in order that they may be enabled to judge of the nature of the instruction each may- require ; and, with the same end in view, they will keep a record book of the age, occupation, condition, education, char acter, and conduct of the women, and of such other par ticulars as they may find useful towards the discharge of their duties. 44. The fundamental parts of education alone are to be taught; and, as the probation of the woman may be for so short a period as six months, it should be a main object to teach those to read who cannot already do so. All such women must receive instruction regularly in school. 45. The women in hospitals, in separate apartments and in cells, are to be visited, and inspected daily by their respective religious instructors, who will enter their visits in their journals of duties performed. 46. In the performance of these duties much is of necessity left to the discretion of the religious in structors, on whose zeal and :prudence every reliance is placed. 47. The respective religious instructors will issue -11finiggzu.ifilizion to the women under their care. The resident religious instructor, and the books comprising it be under his care. MEDICAL OFFICER. 48. The particular duties of the medical officer have already been laid down by the principal medical officer; but it may be added that he is to visit the women in separate or solitary confinement daily, and twice a week to inspect every part of the establishment, reporting upon every circumstance which may be necessary as to clothing, diet, warmth, ventilation, &c., on which the health either of mind or body may depend, and which may require, in his opinion, revision or alteration. 49. When necessary, he may direct an increase of clothing and diet, as also of the time allowed, morning and evening, for exercise in the open air, 0 women who are in separate or solitary confinement; but on every such occasion he will immediately report the circum stance to the principal medical officer. 50. Once a month at least, in presence of the matron, the medical officer will examine into the health of the women on the strength of the establishment. _ 51. On every point of duty he will make a record in his medical journal for future reference, if necessary. 52. In all cases of death, a special medical report wi be required. VISITING MAGISTRATE. 53. The probationary establishment will be visited by his magistrate at least twice in each week. 54. He will investigate all charges brought against he women, and award punishment, as sanctioned by saw. In the discharge of this duty care will be taken to regulate the description and amount of punishment by the temper, disposition, and understanding of the offender. The description of punishment which to one would be trifling, to another would be severe. Want of attention in inflicting of punishment, on this principle, frequently renders it unequal and unjust. 55. A distinction is also to be drawn between of fences ; some in their nature are criminal, whilst others are mere breaches of discipline or of regulation ; and it is not too much to expect that, under a strict system of personal superintendence on the part of the officers, of fences will not be frequent, and severe punishment sel dom required. 56. Advice, admonition, and kindness will in most cases be found effectual ; but if these fail, and it should be found necessary to resort to punishment, extension of the allotted period of probation—or separate or soli tary confinement—will, it is hoped, in most cases be found sufficient. 57. It will, however, at all times be the magistrate's duty to explain the grounds of sentence patiently and calmly, and with clearness, and to point out the folly of persevering in a course of conduct, the inevitable conse quence of which must be to delay the period of the of fender's emergence from probation, even—if rendered necessary by her own misconduct—to the termination of her sentence of transportation. 58. The magistrate, accompanied by the superinten dent or matron, will occasionally inspect the various wards, hospital, separate apartments, solitary cells, the school, the messes, and the rations He will likewise examine into the general management, and take care to ascertain that no illegal punishments occur. A correct record of his trials of offenders will be kept, and a proper return of all the proceedings in each case, authenticated by himself, will be made to the comptroller-general weekly. 59. He will record his visits in the magistrate's ♦isit- ing book. with his remarks upon any irregularities which may come under his notice or within his know ledge. He will also record and report all deficiencies, and every circumstance necessary to be brought under the Lieutenant-Governor's notice. 60. The visiting magistrate is authorised to require the perusal of all communications addressed by the comptroller-general to the superintendant. 61. He will, accompanied by the medical officer, once a month at least, inspect every branch of the establish ment ; he will see that cleanliness, due ventilation and order are attended to, and that all.the arrangements are complete. 62. He will also, with that officer, muster the women on these occasions, and record in the visiting book his opinion of their general appearance and health. 63. With the interior and moral discipline and ar rangement of the establishment the visiting magistrate will not interfere; but he will do everything in his power to uphold the authority of the superintendent and ma tron. His duties generally will be to see that all orders are fully carried into effect, especially as regards proper classification; that the women are properly worked and not employed except in accordance with regulation, and for the public benefit alone; that moral and religious instruction is duly and regularly imparted; that the schools are regularly attended; and that the women are advised and admonished by those under whose immediate charge they are. Information on each of these points will be included in his monthly report to the comptroller general. 64. The visiting magistrate will at all times suggest to the comptroller-general any alterations or improve ments considered desirable in the establishment. FOOD, CLOTHING, BEDDING, WARDS, &C. 65. The charge of issuing the rations will rest with an officer spe3ially appointed by the superintendent for that purpose. No more than one day's supply of flour and meat will be issued on any one day. The officer to whom the duty of issuing rations is entrusted will see tha t the various articles of provisions are fairly and justly dis 7 Ist ;e,
