The exorbitant prices demanded for all kinds of Butcber's - Meat have induced the Artificers, &c. &c. of Deptford Dock-yard to enter into a SubscriptiOn for the regular weekly supply of theniselves and families. It has had the desired effect, and fully exposed the shametulimpositions that ha-ve too long existed without remonstrance. yhe first step of this Association was to form a Committee to lay out to the best advantage the several Subscriptions, front nearly 600 individuals. These consisted of three ,persons conversant in , Butchers' Meat, and they proceeded to Leaden. hail and Whitechapel Markets, enquiring the se veral prices. From their appearance not being very elegant, and consisting of only their working attire, they were treated by tie honest Butchers witlicoutempt.

After the whole of the expellees which had been incurred were kid, the artificers pit! only 41. per lb. for similar joints of the best quality which 'the butchers had demanded Bd. and 9'i. !! ! The effect shut 1114 pLin has produced is fully felt by all the inhabitants of the place, as the butchers hecami, chop-fallen, and now civilly ask 5 d, 6d,' lud 6101. per lb.

In answer to .Lord Cochrane's account of the treatment he exnerienced in this place after the sentence - pronounced upon him an Thursday last, I;thi:.k it necessary to state, that no arrangement having heat, made for his teeeption, I gave orders for his being temporarily accomunitiated with the rooms above the lobby of the prison, as the hest and most etunfortible situation. that I could place him in, for the short time that I expected he would have to remain in my custody. In the tvi.nieg I was informed that he bad expressed his surprise that the gate upon the staircase leading to his .rooms, should be locked upon hint, and that he should he kept as a close priso,ter, a precau tion which the construction of that part of the prison rendered alrsolutely necessary. Finding that Lord Cochrane was likely to make that a sub ject of complaint against me, I sent the next morning to inform him that there was a room in the state-house within the walls, which he might occupy,. The room thus proposed for him is one of the eight rooms w; kb form the best apart ments in the prison, One of which he had occu pied-before he effected his escape. The room was perfectly dry, and had been cleaned, and a fire made in it, before he vras removed into it, and it rested entirely with him to supply what furniture he pleased. After having objected to the rooms over the lobby as a place of close confinement, 1. could do no better for,hint than to give him the entire range ofthe whole prison, which he would have by being placed within the gates; and it would luiVe been highly indiscreet in me, if he chose to remain in custody, to have allowed him to continue in what he called the grated chamber, where, for my own security, I must have kept servants constantly in vigilant attendance upon bim. Lord Cochrane is now within the prison walls, andhas uncontrolled intercourse with every part of the interior of the prison, and the room he inblithitsis, as I " halve stated before, oat of the best the prison affords.
