The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tioiis, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the o, dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which arc sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR. or a CLERGYMAN. Messrs.

His Noble Friend had also adverted to the question of the sugar duties. Upon that subject the ex travagance had been equally great ; for it had been said that this was the greatest consuming sugar country on the face of the earth, and that financial regulations had limited and abridged the comforts of the population in the con sumption of sugar to a degree that was not to be found in Austria or Russia. Nothing could be more extravagant or absurd than all these statements. He had stAted these tbiags, in order ih^t parties might cau tiously weigh and consider the subject . , because, in the ceent of their calculations not being confirmed, they would be obliged to have recourse to a property tax or some similar measure, in order to make good the enormous defi ciency of the revenue which would occur. He believed that the priuci:•les laid down in the Report would be most injurious, if generally adopted ; and at the same time he was convinced that the principles of free trade, as they were termed, were those upon which their great comme -- cial country could mainly rely for the extension of its trade. He should decidedly object to the principles in that Report being, generally adopted. Lord ELLENBOROUGH expressed his great satis faction at the measure that had been introduced by the Noble Marquis. It had come sooner than he expected, but not sooner than he desired.—C Hear.) It was a mea sure of justice to India, but not a measure of injustice to the West India Colonies. It would tend materially, in his opinion, to reduce the price of sugar, which was extremely high at present, and he did not think it would be desirable t 3 introduce any measure wi h regard to the intro duction of foreign sugar at a lower duty, until they bad Ascertained what would be the working of the present Bill. He believed it 'Would be found eventually to obvi•te the necessity cf any legislative measure as regarded the introduction of foreign sugar. Ho would now call the attention of the Noble Marquis to the 1311 itself, and it appeared to him that the 31 clause of that Bill was founded upon error. It was suppot.el by some of the wit nesses examined before the Committee that the Local Act passed by the Indian Government f the prohibition of foreign sugar into the Bri•ish setlements of India would not be found practically to effect that object, and from the warding of the clause any party who went before the Privy Council and declared that that Local Act was inoperative might prevent the introduction of rum, the produce of the East Indies, from being imported into that country. Now, he hoped the clause would be so amended as to prevent the object cf the Government being defeated in that way. There were other detail , , bet not of any very great importance, which could be better referred to when the Bill was in Committee. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had no hesitation in stating that the interpretation of the clause to which the Noble Baron had referred was that which he wished to have attached to it, and if any verbal alteration was neecs sary to make that more distinct he had no objection to adopt it. He certainly never meant that the Privy Council should have the power of putting a veto upon the inter tions of the Government, with rezpget to the introduction of East India rum. All the Privy Council could require was that it should be proved to their sati4action that the prohibition of the importation of fore'gn sugar had been legally carried into effect. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Fri,la•'. _ STEAM TO NEW YORK, CALLING at HALIFAX on her WAY OUT on the present Voyage.

This Rev Gentleman has addressed a letter to the Marquis of Normanby on the subject of cancelling his appointment to the Chair of Biblical Criticism in the UniviTsity of Edinburgh, in which he contends that the interdict of the Court of Session had no application to the duty he was called upon by the Church to perform in the parish of Hun;ly. Lord Normanby has briefly replied to the latter in these words:— Whitehall, March 16, 1841. Sir,— You will hardly expect that I should be prepared to make any reply to yourself personally on the most important matters on which you have urged your own views with so much earnestness, and l should have, therefore, confined the acknow ledgment of the receipt of your letter upon the present occa sion to the assurance that whatever ourse my sense of duty may hereafter induce me to adopt, under the circumstances in whiith your recent proceedings have paced you, I an still dis posed to think that, on the ground of pers..nal qualifications, the appointment in question would be one likely to reflect credit on the Government: But I cannot permit you to re main in the error under which you appear to be labouring, when you state, " I took no step until 1 received notice from the agents of the Church in London, to the effect that a c inunication had been intimated to them that my appointment to the deanery, which was to be conferred along with the professorship, had actually tak , n place, and that it was necessary merely to have it ex ratted in due form. lam ignorant of the usual practice in such case=, and I may have erred in concluding prematurely that the matter was definitively fixed. At the same time I am given to understand that had the agents for the Church, instead of corresponding with me, proceeded at once to act upon the message from the Home- office, the deed might have been beyond recall." Wha'ever preparatory documents may have been in progress, it was perfectly understood that the appointment had not actually taken place—that all was con tingent upon my final decision ; and, therefore, no communica tion hid been made to you, nor could there be any authorised notification to any party until her Majesty's pleasure had been taken upon the recommendation of her responsible adviser. Whatever passed between a clerk in the office and the agents in the church could not have had the effect you suppose of plac ing the deed beyond recall. 1 have. &c.,llie Rev. R. S. Candlish.

Most of the individuals are Dissenters, and have legal and religious objections to the rate. 'the legal grounds of objecti-ni are 1. The original Notice, which, as fixed upon the Parish Church-door, convenes the meeting for granting a rate, was not, and could not be produced. 2. That the notices convening the parish were not affixed to all the doors of the different churches, as required by 1 Vie. 45. 3. That no estimate was produced at the meeting for grant ing the rate, though it was asked for. 4. That the rate was ask,-d for. and has been applied to other churches than for the use of the Parish Church. 5. That Lord Ward's Town Hail and the Tory Library, and other property, has not been included in the rate. Th.. same course will be adopted this year as in 1837.

LADVERTISEMENLI The attention of our readers is directed to the following communication addressed to Messrs. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, Louden :—Sir,—l take the liberty of addressin g you a fcw lines. Some years since a very intimate friend of mine had a serious fit of illness, and when she began to recever, her hair which was beau tiful, came off, leaving large patches all over the head. After trying various things as restorers, without any benefit, your Oil was recommended, and she persevered in rubbing it in daily, using two bottles in four weeks, at the et:el of which time her hair came again ; and in a short time be came more thick and beautiful than before, and lost its oely fault, a certain degree of harshness. She continued to use the Macassar Oil moderately up to the time I last saw her, and though most of her family were very grey, she had not one grey hair, which she entirely attributed to the constant use of the Oil. This Lady recommended it to me. In consequence of head-aches and trials of mind, my hair began to turn grey ; I persevered in the use of the Oil, and am happy to say it has quite .redeemed my hair. You are at libel ty to publish this letter if you please, with my ieitia's only, and any one may have my name and ad dress, by going to your house. I am, Sir, your obedik re servant, F. H. ll,—Rowland's Macassar Oil prevents hair from falling off, or turning grey ; changes grey hair to its original colour, frees from scurf and dandruff; and makes it beautifully soft and curly.—Ask for " Rowland's Ma cassar Oil." The lowest price is 3s. 6d.—the next price is 75.-10 s. 6d. and 21s. per bottle. PERSONAL HISTORY OF GEORGE THE FOURTH.—When Dr. Croly, in undertaki g to wr'te the " personal history" of George the Fourth t , rmiaed that (to use his own words) he would ‘! tell the truth, andfear no wan," he entered upon a bald and bee adous, but a most interesting and ust fel task, and its eminent success has justified the plan on which he precsedel. When it is also recollected that the " personal" history of George the Fourth was, in its early periods in particular, more singular and romantic than half the fictions of our most inveie ve novelists, and that it is this " personal" his tory alone tlit Dr. Croly offers to us, the second edilote which has just appeare l, has been carefully revised, and contains much additional new matter. POLICE COURT—CURIOUS CASE.—On Wed nesday last a tall bliad man, who gave his name as Thomas Ware, appeared et the Felice bar under the following cir cumstances Emus that some evil-disposed persons in London, with a view to iejure him, had circulated a state meet that his real r ame was H :re, and not Ware, and that he was a brother or relative of flare the nutorieus " busker," as well as principal witness aerinst him ie the memorable trial at Edinburgh. In consequence of the prevalence of this opinion, he states that ho had been persecuted wherever he went, and that his life was even placed in con. side agile jeopardy ; so much was this the case, that, under the advice of one of the London magistrates, he had considered it necessary to travel all the way to Edinburgh, which be did on foot, to obtain a certificate from the authorities that the statement was untrue. Being totally unknown here, either as regards the trial of Hare or otherwise, Bailie Grieve, the sitting magistrate, and Captain Stuart, the Superintendent o f with his request, for which the IPnealni eexpressed willingly y h e i s o m g p r el i ( tu! in the warate4 terrup.

The Marquis of NORMANBY presented a peftion f cm the inhabitant, of All Saizite, at Mile End New Town. and adjacent parts, signed by 2 000 persona, in fa vour of the Drainage of Buildings 811. The petitioners expressed their gratitude fur the care taken wi'h respect *o their religious and moral education, but stared that much of the value of that care would be riirLioiihed if sufficient attention were not paid to the condition of their health. BOROUGH IMPROVEMENT BILL. The NOBLE MARQUIS then moved the second readi.lg of the Borough Improvement Bill, which gave power, under special cncumstanecs, to corporate bodies to make improvements out of the corporate funds as wai nccossary for the health of towns. Fie would move that it be re ferred to the Committee on the Drainage of Buildings Bill, as he wished to have the opinion of that Committee on it. _ _ The Bill was then read a s'-cond time and referred to he above Committee. . _ _ A message from the Commons brought up the Glasgow, Pa;Eley, and Greenock Railway 13 11, which was reid a first time. _ EAST INDIA RUM BILL. The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE, in moving the second reading of this Bill, stated that it was a measure of some in - pertance; end, after sta'ing the object of the Bill, said the Committee nhich had been appointed on the subject had presented a mass of important evidence exhibiting the sta2 of Indian produce and Indian commerce. It ap peared to him at that time, 01111-nigh he did not then think it necessary to say so until he saw an opportunity of carry ing the view into effect, that the most advantageous mea uro of relief that could be given to the Indian cultiva. tion, conside.ieg sugar as one of the most important arti cles of produce, would be, after reducing the duty on sugar, to effect a corresponding diminution on rum. The Committee undoubtedly, in the Report, exprested an opi nion that they were not prepared at that moment to recommend such nn alteration to take place. Ile was not himself the author of the words ,o inserted in that Report, but he did not oppose their introduction, because he was not at that time prepared to propose any such measure to their Lordships. Ile ell not think, however, that the Noble Baron who am the Chairman of the Committee, at all intended they should bar relief to the Indian cultivator. All the in quiries made by the Government, had tended to convince the Government that there would be no danger whatever of the introduction of rum, the produce of rice, or other substance, by allowing the free introduction of rum the produce of the sugar cane, and the date tree. The equa- Fzation of the duties on East and West India sugars in 1836, had proved of essential benefit, not only to India but also to England. Without troubling their Lordships with details, he might state that the importation of sugar from India in 1836, was only 50,000 cwts. ; ii 1840 it had risen to 400,000 cwts., and had it not been for such increased importation from the E tat, the alarming rise which had taken place in sugar during the last two or three years, an the most alarming decrease in its consumption in the name poriod, would have been molt greetcr. It 11?..3 been thought nece . 3ary to facilitate he introduction of rum, the produce of that most useful productim of nature—the date tree. He was not prepared to state the respe' t've quantities of sugar produced from the cane, and the date, but he believed a very considerable partioa.of it was t'e produce of the, latter, aid it was thought necessary to afford the same facility to its intro tn as to that the produce of the cane. The find re gulations to be adopted by the Governor-General, and ent to this country before being acted upon, would effec tually prevent the int-oduct'on of a spit it produced from rice or any other prohibited article. He would not t tke that occasion to dwell upon the act of fairne 1, of justice, and of lib , rarity their Lordships were the t called upon to perform towards the natives of India, from whom they had taken the most valuable branch of their industry and traile. They had been the cause of actual depopulation in India by the extinction of their manufacture of muslin by the introduction of our manefactured goods, and had refused any adequate redress by refusing to take their pro• ducts upon the same terms as the cell , r colonies bound to us by the same ti , s. There must remain a difference in favcur of the West Indies. Nature had drawn a per na nent line for their advantage over those to whom, never theless, eee owed the same duties, and felt the same inte rest. The Noble Marquis then moved the second reading of the Bill. Lord ASHBVRTON rose, but was almost altogether inaudible in the gallery. We understood the Noble Lord to say that circumstances were in faveur of the measure. The only doubt war,events whether, fr o m recent in wasthe West Indies, tl e altered co n di ion of th population such as would admit of such a chsnge ; but he took it for granted the G:Nerement had looked carefully into the subject. He wished to know whether it was the Lee:- tion of the Government to let in fo:eien sugar also. There ware great apprehensions as to the ietentien of the Go verment on this subject. He was the more indeced to refer to it in consequence of a Report of a Committee of the other House of Parliament, which had been commu nicated to their Lorships, and which bad been circulated through the eountry at the expense of cAttain pets ens who had formed themselves inte a society. This Committee was appointed in May last, but it did not sit until July. They summoned before them some three or four great free-trade philosophers, some of whom were connected with the Boni d of Trade, and who had male the most ex travagant, exaggerated, and absurd staiements that could possibly be listened t-. The Committee was composed specially of persons got up for the purpose, and took the evidence of these persons as fast as they could take it, but refused to hear evidence on the other s id e ; and thus their procee lines were as unfair and as absurd as could well be conceived. Their proceedings were founded upon vague theories of free trade. The Noble Lord was then understood to cmimeet upon the subj , ets comprised in the R.Tort, and particu larly upon the opinions expressed respecting the Corn taws, and said that such theori:s, if carried into practice, would completely overturn the principles upon which the commercial wealth and greateese of this country was founded, and introduce the wildest and moat rhino.. changes. A - strong opinion was expressed in the R , port with respect to the subject to which he had just alluded, namely, that of lotting in the sugar of the Brazils, and other foreign sugar, at arc onsideeable reduction of duty. It was this circumstance hich fieluced him to put the question, which he would thank the Noble Marquis to answer, respecting the intentions of the Government on the subject. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that although his Noble Friend had an undoubted right to enter into any statement of his opinions with respect to the Report of a Committee of the other House of Parliament which had sat last year, he was sure their Lordships would not ex pect him (the Marquis of Lansdowne) to enter into any discussion as to the merits of the R eport, or the great variety of topics introduced into it, comprisirg, as it Ilt by liad best owe d the Go vernment , b ut did, alatost all subj ects connected wi th the revenue and econ of the c ountr y , ea cl "of which would require berg omy and full c onsider ation. He was aware th a the Committee had sat at a late period of the Session. It was not a Cir ec propose :d. one in which hey a itet quis consider able attention on the subject, but circumstances made it inconvenielt for th em to receive evidence whi ch wo uld o.m have been ef a differe nt nature to that which they should have received. But at the same time he co ns id ere d a Committee extremely fitted to consid er th e su bj ect. Il e c did not feel himself c alled upon to enter i n t o any genera l discussion upon that subject. He could assure Noble Fsi end that the WI( wa s tet , _ lily disconnected with any did not grow out o f t h e R eport to other measure, and to shish he alluded. The measure was p ropose d upon i ts own merits, and w as merely an accompaniment to the measure of 1836, and. in order to give that measure full effect, he was convieced their Lordships ought not to hesitate in passing the Bill. Lord ASHBURTON made a few observations that were not heard in the gallery. Lord MONTEAGL E rejoiced that the attention of the House and the public had been drawn to the Report on which the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Ashburton) had observed. No doubt it was a very that if taxation is reduce.] popular argument to say the revenue will be increased:. b ,e u . t p view eople and to say give out of doors were very apt to take a °nee- a i , us a reduction, and tak e your chance of an increase of re venue. The extrava gance of some of the sug gest i ons t h at had been made before that Commi Httee l l were impediments e wou in the way of improveme.nt • allude to one, which his N o bl e F r i en d had being the great question on observed, the corn que stion. What was the evide nce g i ven by some of those gentlemen on the subject of the protec tive duties on corn? It was that the existence of those protective duties caused a charge up 94 the people of Eng. POOR-LAWS (IRELAND). The Marquis of NORMAN B Y said Mr. Ph( lan was in attendance, if any Noble Lord wished to have him ex amined furLher. The Duke of WELLINGTON wished to know if the Noble Marquis had any objection to the production of the correspondence that had taken place relative to the ap pointment of Richard Egan as returning officer for the Bandon Union. The Margin; of NORM ANBY had no objection to the motion. He wished to state, furthe^, the:. Mr. Phelan would rema;n in town flr a few days; if any Noble Lord wished to put any further questions to him, ho should be in att , ...ndanee on Friday. The House then adjourned till Thursday.

Mr. E. J. STANLEY—The Bill before the House partook more of a public than of a private character, and, during the last two or three' Sessions, the practice had been to refer Bills of a similar nature to Select Committees. He thought it would be extremely inju dicious to have the measure now referred to an entirely new tribunal, who might take a totally different view of the question. Oa these grounds he hoped-the Hen.

Oa the motion for the further c. - rnsith.ralim of the Re port of the Committee on this Bill being lead, Mr. FOX MAULE said the present Bill was for the renewal of an Act for the construction of roads upon which considerable sums of money had been expendel. In the present Bill he had been compelled to introduce two clauses, the first to provide for the securiq of those who advanced money on the undertaking, and the second related to the expenditure of money. Sir JAMES GRAHAM wished to know whether there was any !clause to maintain the rights of creditor=, as at present ei.tlblithed. He would not, however, object to the printing of the claeees for the purpose of further con sideration. The debate was then adjourned, and the claim.. o.Jcac..l 4 u L?(' printeCl. ST.

Lord MAHON rose to move—" That in the opinion of this House, the large increase of the number of convicts to be rermanently confined in the hulks of Great Britain, al though senteoced to transportation, in pursuance of the Mi nute of the Secretary of State for the Home Depertment, dated Jan. 2, 1839, is highly inexi:e&ent." He said h e was awry to have fund on former discussions on transportation and secondary punishments, that there was such a discre pancy between the imlifference of the House and the im mense importance of the subject. That indifference, too, had been shown whoever was the party bringing it under the notice of the Ileuse. tie recollected that two years ago, when tt e Noble Lord the Secretary for the Cclonics, made a speech upon the subject of two hours' duration, he !male it to a number ef Members that scarcely made a Ilouse. Still, though that was discouraging, he felt it to be his duty once more to press the qu.etion upon the attention of the House. Bei rre doing so lie had taken an opportuory f censultieg some Hon. Members, who were well qual'- fled to ghee an opini-sn upon the ques inn, as many of them had been long engr gel is the adiniai , tration of justice as chairmen of Qriart , r Sessions ; and if the House wool I grant him tin it patience for a time he would pr eve, by the most irrefragable evidence, the danger of the course pursued by - the Noble Ler3.—(Ficar, hear.) In the Noble Leri's minutes, on the 23 of Jaeuery, 1839, he laid down this proposition—that the consiots sentenced to seven years' transportation should be, as far as ixacti cable, confioei is the hulks at the dock-yards. This was followed up by a le ter from the Under-Secretary of State. The accumulation of convicts at the Hulks was 33,000, whereas it would appear that the number confined there the Ist of January, in the previous year, was 1,789; the iicrease, the:efore, was about double. From the report of Air. Capper it appeared that the number on the Ist of January last was 3 553. But he must observe that a much larger increase must be soon expected, for without adverting to the flue tuatieg policy adertsd on the subject, and looking only to the practical state of things, he found from a calcu'a•ion appended t ) the minute, that in the year 1837 the total number of convicts sea t mced to transportation was 3,600, and that of these, those sentenced to seven years' transportation were 2,100, or nearly ewe-thirds of the whole. Therefore, the practi2al stare, f things, according to the system of the Noble Lord, was that 2,000 convicts, who otherwise would have been transported abroad were retairel in the dock-yards and hulks as home. Aft tr a certsie number of years to be again turned hose upon society. Tais being the state of facts, tl e first objection to the proceedings of the Noble Lord appealed to hint to be the undue extension of the prerogative of the Crown. ( Hear, hear.) 1 hey were, no doubt, in conformity with the letter of Vie he - , but they clearly appeared to him ( Lord M.) to be a vlola . i an of its spirit. Let them consider what was the object of the law in allowing this discretion to the Secretary of State. It was undoubtedly that he might discriminat, betty( en particular cases, and that in the (vent of early youth or extreme old age, or any other special cireumFtanees, he might at discretion re alts at. home those whom the law had sentenced to trans portation. But the law did not contemplate the wholesale exercise of this power by the Noble Lord, or that the words " transp- res far seven years" should be con strued into " isninisonment in the Hulks at home." That was undoubtedly an undue extension of the powers cf the law ; and that was the first to which he wished to call the attention of the House. The next subject upon which he had to complain was the undue disregard of the evidence taken before the House of Ist - Hs. A Committee had sat in 1835 far the pw pose of considering the whole subject, and that Committee had pursued its irquiries with great diligence. It had for its Cheirsnan the Duke of Richmond—a sufficient guaraotee that the inquiry had been conducted with diligence, talent, and skill. That Com mittee ha 1. cone to the following resolution :—" From the iie.v which the Committee takes of the inherent defects of the hulk system and of the mischief which it is calculated to produce, they cannot but concur in the opinion expreseel by a Committee of the House of Commons on secondary punishments, to the effect that in future no person sentenced to transportation should be allowed to remain per m ;neatly in the country, with the exception of those selected for confinement in the Millbank Penitentiary, and that heaceLrward the convicts established at the hulks should be considered sob ly as an intermediate station between the gaol and a penal colony." That was the recommendation of a Committee of the House 1 of Lords after a full and deliberate inquiry into the mitten ; and he would ask the Noble Lend opFo:ite why, without any subsequent inveitigali o', and without having elicit 'd any new facts, he had determined on complying with that decision ? If the question were a party one he could understand the course of the Noble Lord, who might that he did not assent to an opinion adopted by such men as the Duke of Richmond, or Lord Wharncliff‘! a r i nomirm as the present he (Lord Mshen) caw no reason n - lay the Nable Lord should not respect the seem - lure idation is question. Now lie would ask why, e i•hout any subsequent inquiry, this recammend-ti an of the Committee for tae disconti nuance of the hulks had been set aside ? L;rd JOHN RUSSELL—;The Transportation Con. mittce sub3equently to that 1\ commendation. Lord MAHON would remind the House that the Transportation Committee had not emcee,' into the question of the hulks at all, nor wai there one syllable of their Report which could he considered as a commendation of the hulk system of Great Britain. Perhaps the Noble Lord might have thought that the Peers' Committee had proceeded on their own judgment without any evidence, but the contrary was the fact ; they had examined those persons who of all othe-s were the most competent to form an opinion on that subject. They had examined Mr. W. Crawford, and surely the Noble Lord could not ob ject to his authority, seeing that the Noble Lord had himself, in conjunction wish his colleagues, ap pointed that gentleman to examine into the hulk system of the United Stetes. Mr. Crawford said the hulk system was very bad, and as a proof he stated th it having been on the Committee of the Refuge for the Destitute for years he had always found that parties t eleased from the hulks who applied for relief to that Institution, }.al invariably turned out to be the wor-t eharac:ers, and that he had frequently asked gaolers their opinion of trans portation, and they all stated it excited the greatest dread in the minds of convicts. Mr. Newman, the turn key of Newgate, when asked if be thought t ans portaian excite.' dread in the minds of eiiininale, re plied that he thought it did, and that they gene Italy know that it was worse now than it used to be. Perhaps the strongest opinion which he could adduce was that of Mr. Samuel Hall, Secretary (as we understood the Noble Lord) of the Society f n Promoting the Improvement of Prison Discipline. Being asked if he be lieved that the hulk system had been of any ser vice, he replied that, so far from that, he be lieved it to be most admirably ca'culated to pro mote crime ; yet the system was relied on by the Government es the means of checking crime. Considerable miiepprehension bad prevailed as to the object to be obtained; he i ai seen many plens which had no other ends in view than the reformation and impruvement of the criminal, for the prevention of crime was yet a higher object, the hulks were entirely inefficient. He could state on the authority of several respectable gentlemen, Mem bers of that House and Chairmen of Quarter Sessions, that they did not inspire a sufficient degree of terror, and were looked upon by the friends and relations of the criminal as a light punishment compared with transportation. He lieved the records deposited in the office of the Secretary be ef State for the Home Department would abundantly justify this assertion. He might allude to the case which occurred last year. In that case petitions were presented by the friends of the criminal, praying that he might undergo his sentence in the hulks. The argument was plausible, that by iacreesing the ...weste r of the d;evipffne at borne, you inspire terror, but practically the punishment of the hulks was insuffi cient to deter from crime.—( Hear, hear.) He be lieved that the minute of the Noble Lord had been attended with very prejudicial effects, not only to the comforts, but the health of the prisoners, and that many had died from confinement in the hulks. He had moved for certain returns, about three weeks since, which would elucidate that point, but they had not yet been laid upon the table, and he could not in their absence lay further stress upon the reports that had been abroad.— ( Hear, hear, hear.) In the Report of the state of the [hulks, which had been lately placed in the hands cf Hon Members, it was stated that the inspector regretted the unnatural and constant depression of healih and strength that was experienced arising from the hard la beur and rigorous discipline of the hulks. These were strong words coming from an officer bolding such an pointment. He added that for several years past there had been a gradual decay of the strength of the prisoners, which he attributed to the poorness and sameness of the diet. The hulks did not afford those facilities for im provement which bad of late taken place in their legisla tion on that subject. They could not have either the se parate or the silent system ; and, in short, the hulks in practice was conducted on the same system as their _ pm sons 30 years ago.—( Hear, hear.) The substitution of imprisonment in the hulks for tr3nsportatien had also on rated injuriously in another respect. The friends of a idea stoner so circumstanced could n o t entertain tete same of the severity cf his punishment, as if he bad o be f e n c. r ,: r ; navel to a great distaece, with 15,000 miles t rolling between them. It appeared to him .ft ob f jects cf could avoid suffering consistently with the 1: they of eieterring from crime, and reformingdrep criminals,of ought to adopt the system. The the moat their regulations were prompted stiecters, however, distiuctly showe ee had bern too fre humane and benevolent motives, they b t o y h r st eventhwehienn tpaaksetf t he l . l the fourth Report of the' s case o a f n th d e s P uff e e eit i er g ai ti n o ry th r e t a t i l l i o a t t v e i d n t c o .

He found th at parties wee punished in the Pcri:catiary for the slightest offences, or for no offences at all. There was for instance a punish ment awarded for speaking, with intent to converse—a cr i me , the nature of which he esttainly could not under stand. Let bile not, however, be mi sun d erstood. He d i d not deny that those regulations might be just, necessary and expedient. He did not deny that the Magistrates bad framed the regulations with humane intentions, and that they had been sanctioned by the Noble Lord from similar motives; but those very circumstances showed that im prisonment at home required so much strictness of disci pliee, or inspired so little dread, that it was necessary to carry out the system with severity in the manage ment. If they compared that saverity at home with the rigour of transportation abroad, they found that in many cases transportation was not the greater punishment. He had another objection to imprisonment in the hulks for a number of years—it was that it led to an inequality of punishment. Indeed ho could scarcely con ceive any system which would weigh with a more unequal rigour on the different classes of offenders. Much had been said against the inequality of the system of assign ment, but that inequality was nothing when compared with the inequality of imprisonment at home for a term of yearn. Persons who were used to labour in the open fields felt the punishment of confinement in a tenfold degree compared to the artisan, who had been all his life used to sedentary occupations. To a person of a quick and sensitive mind, imprisonment was intolerable, while one of a less active disposition regarded it as no evil, if his meals were suffi cient in quantity and of regular recurrence. The same ob jections applied to the hulks that did to imprisonment, with this additional one, that it was impossible to introduce into the hulks the recent improvements which bad been intro duced into prison discipline. The hulks system had all the evils of imprisonment without any of its advantages. An other objection to the hulks system was its expense. He admitted that in such a question as the present, economy ought not to be made a paramount consideration, but yet it ought not to be alto gether set aside. The Noble Lord had himself calcu lated that the expense attending the transportation of each convict was 151., and as on his arrival in the Colony his labour more than maintained him, that was the whole of the expense. At the hulks the expense of maintaining a convict amounted, during three yearn, to 18/. a year. Now the Noble Lord calculated that hii labour was worth 101. a year, leaving 8/. a year as the actual expense, but that was assuming that every convict at the hulks was able to work. Now Mr. Capper had reported that a great number of those at present at the hulks wore wholly unfit for work of a laborious nature, therefore there could be no set cff in those cases against the expenses. Again no account had teen taker of the expense of fitting up the hulks, which he understood was considerable, great rnisapprchension prevailed as to the comparative ex. prise of transportation and confinement in Ire hulks. The expense of the farmer was 151 whilst that of the latter was 1001. Tito Noble Lord would say prrhaps that they should take into account the expense of maintainirg the military and police establishments of the Colony. That argument, however, had no practical applica. tion. The Establishment was in existence, and it would be a long period before it could he re duced. He came now to the rna'n and paramount objection to the system, an objection which no improve moot in the discipline, no reformation in the crimi nal could ever remove.—( Hear, hear.) How were criminals to obtain honest employment when they were discharged?—(Hear.) The difficulties which arose on this point were of the most painful na',ure. Ha was happy to lean by the report of the Chaplains, that a great reformation hart token place among the prisoners. But, admi•tng the truth of such statements, and supposing the prisoner to be a reformed cl erecter, how was he to get a livel hood? Who would give him employment ? What chance had he of obtaining a situation for which four or five persons of unimpeachable character were amp ieants ? It often occurred that women who had taken one false step, who detested a life of prostitut on, were driven t that life because they had nn other means of obtaining a livelihood, The Noble Lord risen proceeded to read portions of the evidence of the Rev. Mr. Winter and Mr. William Miles before the House of Lords, in iilustration of this view. Mr. Cotton, the Ordinary of Newgate, bore testimony to the immorality of offenders after they had left the prison, in consequence, in most cases, of the difficulty they expe rienced in finding employment. Mr Capper himsele, the superintendent of the hulks system, give similar testimony. He did not think that after such evidence the Noble Lord would be enamoured of the system. But the Noble Lord himself, when reerring to a similar system in France, said th. t " that country was suffering from the mass of released convicts who, after having been confined in glor, again joined the part of the community, peifect adepts in thieving and house-breaking. That must," he said, " be the ca e in any country where crime has every tempt ition, and indu ery is abundantly employed." These were the words of the N able Lord ; and he (Lord Mahon) wondered how after the es-ion of such an er inion, the Noble Lord could ranch oa the introduction of a :imi'ar system int, this c. u try. Ile wruld next direct the attenti ,n of tl e Huse to ti e objections made to the system of transporta tion. lie should observe that he t ,ought the Report of the Committee of the House on that suLject was I•able to two main objections. In tha first place, ;they ref red to par isular acts, and deduced from the general conclu sions. lie would give, as an instance, the feel mentioned of a clue- . man having been implicated in some gross ire • gul airy, from which the Han. Member far Leeds had concluded to :t the whole der,gy of Australis were demo ralized. Rut the Bishop of the colony hal alt gs.the de nied the accuracy of such a statement. In the next place, it appeared t him that the Committee had confounded the abuses of the system with the system itselc. Notwith standing all its abuses, he contended that the system pur sued in New South Wales had reformed more criminals than could have been done in England. In ord rto make out this asserton, the Nobl.! Lord quoted the opinion of the Jest'ca and the Attorney-General of New Son .h Wales, aid also the testimony of seve ral clergymen who had devoted themselves to the reformation convicts in Va t Die Tell'S Lend.—( Hear.) These were au - horates that ought not to be dip staled by the House, being FS they were tee highest in the law and the Church. The eclonies themselves were not against the discontinuance of the prese it system. Could the house b lisve that pecuniary considerrtons would out wcieli all tlro cv Is Which were charged upon the system ? That statement was made out by resolutions inmsed nt public meetings in all the colonies, and he did not believe that there was a respectable colonist, except, indeed, one holding office under and at the pleasure of the Crown, aho approved of the system of the Noble Lord. He Re'. qutesced in the a b o liti on o f t h e ass i gnment system o f t h e Noble Lord, and although he th oug h t t h at t h e N o bl e L or d had acted hastily and without due notice in the case of New South Wales, still he thought the time bad arrived when convicts should not be sent to that colony ; but be was decide d)y of opinion that the convicts might be very beneficially increased in Van Diemen's Land. These were his practical views, but he was anxious to leave ttiem where they ought to rest, with the Government, but he had thought it his duty to enter so fully into the ques tion. Upon these grounds he called upon the House to affirm the resolution of which he had given notice. Mr. PA KING TON seconded the motion. Lord J. RUSSELL concurred in the regret expressed by the Noble Lord, that that subject did not excite more attention in the House. It was a most important one. But after listening to the speech of the Noble Lord he ( Lord J. Russell), did not think there existed such a difference of opinion between them as the tams of the motion would appear to indicate. ne Noble Lord nil not deny the gre.st evis of the assignment system. and ha (Lord J. Russell) did not believe that the Noble Lord could induce the tous., to eft tblish a system of slavery in Australia so shortly after the/ had abolished it in their other colonies. The Noble Lord seemed to thiuk that there had been no inquiry since the Lords' Committeo bad sat; in that he wa ; mistaken, for a Committee of that House had sat for two yerrs; they took a great deal of evidence, and came to resolutions upon which the e was no difference of opinion. H e did not believe there was a division in the Commit tee, althou g h it was composed of Members of vicious political opinions, as well as of those who had paid much attention to the subject, These gentlemen came to certain resolutions, th e effect of which was, that transportation, to certain parts of New South Walcs and Van Diemen 's Land ought to be die continu6d, and that it should be confined to p:rts net settled. It was upon these resolutions that he had acted. The Noble Lord said there was a great objection to the punishment of the hulks. No doubt there was ; but when they had once stated that capital punishment was not to be used as an ordinary punishment in this country, there caste a punishment to which there was another sort of objection, and which could not be entirely got over. This punish ment was liable to certain disadvantages, but, until they showed some better system could be established, there was no foundation on which the House could come tea decision OA the subject. No doubt confinement affected the health of these persons, but the House must, at the same time. keep in view that the object of the pun i s h men t was to defer from crime ; an d if the Noble Lord told him (Lord J. Russell) they would remedy these evils by sending t permanent to New South Wales, where they woulq k ge colisiderable them employment, with the prospect of in fortunes, he replied they would then they would tion at the opposite end of would have the theca cease to have a punishment whichan -, d by preserving - the effect of deterring from crime; would in effect tell a incursalieniganother objec_ health of these persons, theiyation of the country who great proportion of the no - P o u t ing crime, they would have n a e c c o e u ss n a t r r y y were in want that by sentu a i s d t a o that every e mployment for those persons at . c . u t i ni r r ic tb b o t i h r e .i N tu o a b t l io e n L be or t d t e s r i a _ te ( d Hz: a good prospect of m aking hear.)
