He was quite sure that the ticiently occupied already by his other eminent medical men4Dr. Brodie and Dr were also appointed to visit the prison, but he did not see how they would be able to do so, and as it was a male prison, he could net tell why Dr. Ferguson, of all other individuals, should hive been appointed' to visit it .He condemned the silent, solitary, and separate systems of punishment that were adopted ; they iurvariably tended to produce disease and insanil, as had been proved by the experience in the Governor of the Cold Bath-fields prison. The question he wished to put to the Right Hon. Barn:let was, whether he meant to make any further inquiq in the system of prison discipline, and also whether it was the intention of the Governmeut to recommend to the Committee both as to the Model Prison and the Mill bank Pcnetentiarv, that there should be a medical man continuously residing within the walls of both these prisons ? Sir J. GRAHAM said he was prepared for the mo tion of the Hon. Gentleman, by the inquiries he had made when the petition was first presented. But dm Hon. Member had now taken a much ivithr range, sad had indulged himself in a sort of roving etuumijr lan through ail the prisons. 'rho model prison,. as he had before Stated, was an experiment, end an experiment well worth making. With regard to the Commit tee of Management, he thought it was well qualified to eondtait the inquiry. having conducted one in the House of Lords; and the same might be said of Lord Chichester. He might add that the prepossessions of the Duke of Itielonend, as to the separate and silent system, were. very much in unison with those of the Hon. Gentlemau. Ile had asked Lord John Russell to be so obliging as to consent to Fuirer his name to be placed on the Commis sion appointed to superintend the experiment, and' the _Noble Lord had been so kind as to promise that he would undertake to devote a consider able portion of his leisure time to the superin tendence of the expertment. He had also requested the Speaker to be so kind as to suffer his name to be joined to the other Commissioners, aa'd the Speaker had been kind enough to say that he tvould devote his leisure time to his duties as Commissioner. He had also appointed Sir Benjamin Brodie a high medical authority, and 1)r. Burnett, who also held a high rank in the medical profession, as Commissioners_ Major Jebb, an officer of Engineers, who had devotedi considerable attention to the subject of building prisons, was also a Commissioner. These were allchecks upon the: prejudices of other persons. Knowing that Mr. tiordon hail devoted his attention to the subject of prison discipline ; that he had visited almost all the gaols of Europe and America, and that he had introduced the seperate sys tem of prison discipline, he thought that he ought to legs appointed to superintend the experiment. If he bad ape Pointed Mr. Gordon alone to superintend the experiment he should have been to blame, but he certainly ought not tos be excluded from the Commission. With reference to the case of Holberrv, he was bound to say that that case had given him ge:eat pain. He had b ee n informed last autumn that the the health of Holberry was suffer ing-, and he bad directed that he should be removed from Northallerton to York Castle, where the discipline was less severe. and he had directed that report should be made to him as to the state of Hole berry's health. He had not for some time received those reports, until shortly before Holberry's death, when he had received information that unless he were liberated, his health would suffer so severely that he could not re cover. He had directed his liberation within 48 hours of the time he had received that information. Now with regard to the Penitentiary it should be recollected that. the Hon. Gentleman was impugning the discipline cf that, establishment on the testimony of a discarded servant. it ge, L' as Jog • • 4." ^ 4, 4• 4 ,U, 8 t N, .1-11511,SDA'N E • .03ra:•ti,4 AUG UST 11, 1842.

Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, E.g., Surgeon, of Carmock. near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July teist, to the Editor of the " Times :" _ " Sir.— I think it a duty I owe to the public to 'dale known the efficacy of a remedy which 1 met with zecidentally, and which has been of such wonderful benefit to my , elf. Some months ago I met w th a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con ttinued very much swollen and adematous, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night. which 'extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arms. Paving exhausted every resource of relief which I and my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no purpo!e, I set out for London with the intention of con sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford. I know of no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy. In adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere desire to make known his invaluable remedyPto my fellow-suf ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing but a. nefarious traffic and humbug. " I am, your obedient servant, TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon. " Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire. " P. S. At the various consultations held upon my e . 7. se, th e sturgeons and physicians (ir:eluding myself) were exeidedly of •opinion that the frequent violent attacks of sr;dsths would ter- Inmate in lock jaw, int , as I have before stated, I have not 'bad the slightest ar,nptom3of spasms ';;lnce the first application 'of this estraordivJery embrocation..— f.

LISBON, JuLt 31, 11 A.m.—The packet sails 36 hour before the usual time, for the purpose of carrying the Treaties with Donna Maria's signature affixed, together with the official notification of the Queen proclaiming the slave-trade piracy ; hi tittle to anticipate the proro gation of the British i.r.rliament, and enable Lord Aber• deeu to hiiq it and carry through the Bill which I mentiotrg last week, repealing Lord Palmerston's oh tlxteks statute, and associating Portugal henceforth 'with England in a compact alliance for the suppression ui slavery. The expeditious snail-clerks of Lisbon have consumed the whole week itt engrossing the Treaties, to which the finishing touch was fortunately put yesterday even ing, just iu time to save the preconcerted arrangement for the exchange of the ratifications at the Duke of Terceira's, where the two Plenipotentiaries met the principal members of the Government at nine o'clock, and where the ratifications were formally exchanged with due solemnity. Her Most Faithful Majesty came to town yesterday evening from Cintra, for the purpose of sign ing the Treaties and performing other Royal functions, amongst which is the holding of a levee at the Palace of Necessidades this day, to commemorate the original pros clatnation of the Constitutional Charter. If the English public should happen to be under the vague impression that there is a prospect here of good government, or even of government; kw sonic time to come, the sooner they rectify that erroneous impression the better. The notion is mere delusion;. in the turbid and ever-whirling Vortex Of kehlusillar theft never was mute ufotkii)litettiutt or bitterness than Lisbon polities preseht at this moment. Upon every side but one characteristic presents itself—selfish; detestable scheming. The flimsy veil of peifiOlibiii is hut eveti assumed, and the hollow hitt lghers laugh in your face as well as in their eleeVes at the notion of public: rirtne. Costa Cabral is treaty at his last gasp; all his efforts to form a permanent it' Ministration having utterly failed: In his expiring agonies he has degraded himself by making overtures to some of those political antagonists to whom he had previously declared himself most strenu-. ously opposed itt principle. The desertion of the Duke of Paltuella In the very fatal crisis of time; when the completely constituted Chambers were to be faced, a crisis chosen With admirable effect and characteristic Maehleetilism for the destruction of the existing Ads t.iuistratiou, has so dimmed the prestige of Cabears power as to reduce him to the miseettble position that every one to whom he has applied has successively re fused to accept office, and ; like a stranded Whale, he is incapable of the slightest movement. Meanwhile his numberless enemies have no common plan of ac tion, but each, worshipping the maudlin star of self, and utterly forgetful of Portugal, aims at the premiership, or, at least, the leading influence. Thus there is a true Pe ninsular intensity of hatred between the Puke of Palmella and ltodigo Magalhaes, neither of whom will act either under or with the other. Thus, too, Count Villareal and Silva Carvalho have each their separate following and designs ; whilst the Septenibrists, Sada Bandeira, Bomfin, Count de Taipa, and the rest, form a strong lit tle separate combination amongst themselves, and alone, amongst the various parties here, present any semblance of unity. I defy the best prophet in Europe to form any sort of conjecture as to the personnel or political cha• racter of the administration which will be in power six months hence. The turpitude of the statesmen of Por tugal renders stability impossible and good government a dream. The Cortes have been sitting now for three weeks, and not one solitary proposition has been submitted in either Chamber compassing a national benefit, or aiming at national objects. N ot one ! No topic of the kind has been even mooted, no true patriotic or practical sullieet hinted at. The Deputies have been squabbling for three weeks about the elections ; and the result of all their gross personal abuse and vile insinuation is, that 01.0:Sections have all been substantially approved of. Piive one piece, a nd one only,: of cheering intel gencn to communicate to yen this week, and that is, t ha t the mouth of Spain is stopped by a fortunate exhibition, of energy on the part of the Portuguese authorities. I mentioned in icy last that the Spanish Government, en raged at the conclusion of the commercial treaty, had made some violent requisitions of the Portuguese Go vernment. One of these involved b 7 implication the charge of protecting bands of robbers in their inroads from the Portuguese territory upon,thc Spanish soil. It must be confessed that there was some ground for re monstrance, no less a personage than a very rich Spanish senator having lately been carried by these bandits from Spain, and detained in the mountains of Minh° until he arranged the payment of the enormous ransom of 3 0 ,500 dollars I The Portuguese auth Tides at last set to work in downright earnest in obedience to the energ etic in structions of the Government, and the news rea ched this on Friday by telegraph that a detachment of police and military . from Castello Branco succeeded, on the -2.6 th instant, in effecting the .complete destruction of -the formidable band in question, headed by the notorious robber-chiefs Florencio and Semental, who have lo n g been the plagues of the Portuguese and Spanish frontier. • THE GLASGOW STRIKE. LATEST PARTICULARS On Friday afternoon, the road from the Comet Inn to Airdrie presented a novel and bustling appearance. The tall strapping dragoon, with carabine in hand, and sword dangling by his side, might be seen marching to execute some appointed duty, while his cotnrades in undress were lounging about, laughing and chatting among themselves. An infantry officer, again, mounted on his favourite charger, is the chief attraction of, a dozen or close in the rear, are fri e g d th b e o i y r s, who, tinyf f e t e l t it)wi in " tie exact prints of the s t‘ e % e ' o n o p f u r t a t animal's hook As Coatbridge is neared, a laughing group of infantry were seen congregated at one of the windows of the principal houses of entertainment, while individual soldiers, billeted on some public-house, might be seen yawning, evidently with not a single rap in their pockets. The colliers, meantime, were sullenly linin ,, e the road, awed but not co w e d by the important display of the military. The younger. branches of the community seemed to enjoy the stir ring scene, and they moved about with a vivacity—espe cially the female portion—quite unwonted, under the gaze of their usual swains and admirers. The crowds in crease as Airdrie is approached, and here„within the prisoners of different d h e a s l e l ri o p f ti t o h n elice m po one c b l u a i s l s di u ng a • s s, se a i r z e ed the preceding morn ing at their homes, as they were endeavouring to escape in a state of nudity across field and brook, by a body of dragoons and pollee cutting off their retreat. Their houses were miserable in the extreme, but quantities of potatoes were found in a number, which were strongly suspected to haVe been stolen, Eleven were taken into custody, but now, for want of proof, only three arc oommitted i and are to be transmitted to Hamilton gaol. These prisoners are charged with attacking on the public highway a bread cart, and taking therefrom a quantity of bread. Again, a very little boy has just been brought in for despoiling a potatoe field. He was the last of a nume • roes band of depredators ; and lie appears not much de • pressed in-spirits, as he munches the bread that has just been given him. Five men have been convicted, and sentenced to imprisonment, for leaving their work with out giving proper warning. They are to lie retained for a short time here to see how the men without would conduct themselves. Sheriff Alison has been most zealous In his efforts to prevent disturbance, and effect a reconciliation between the parties. Yesterday, in the Royal Hotel, Airdrie,. a meeting of the masters and a deputation representing 1,000 workmen was held. The deputation complained of " heaped hutches," and the system pursued by the contractors. Mr. Wilson, of Dundyvan, and other masters, freed themselves from participating in this injustice ; and Mr. Sheriff Alison suggested that the men in the meantime should return and work out their war n ing ; and, during the interim, the merits of, their grievances should be examined into, and remedied as far as possible, especially as regards the proper we!ghing of th e coals when brought to the pit's mouth. The deputation concurred with these views according to their representation ; but a general meet ing is to be held to-clay (Saturday) near Coatbridge , which will decide the question. We sincerely trust that an amicable understanding will speedily follow to master and man ; and that the usual trade of Airdrie may be restored to this lately-flourishing burgh.—Glasgow Gazette of Saturday. A SISTER SHUTBY A BROTHER. Yesterday afternoon the inhabitants and neighbour hood of Shepperton Cottages, Rosemary Branch, Iloxton, were thrown into a state of the utmostexciternent arising from the following melancholy event occur rin g at No. 64, Shepperton-cottages ;---/About three o'clock in the afternoon the few person s who were passing were alarmed by hearing a report issuing from the house, and in a few secolids afterwards a lady was seen rushi n g out of the house in a state of the g rea test mental anxiety, imploring the passers-by to com e i n , as one of her daughters had that instant been shot. A Mr. Donaldson, a confectioner, who was passing at the instant, rushed into the house, when the first sight which presented itself to his eye was seeing an elderly gentleman with his shirt saturated in blood, clasping in his arms a fine grown girl, about 15 years of age, Nvh9 was bleeding profusely from the temple and right aide of her face: Mr. Henley, chemist, No. 52, ShOppertott - cottages ; promptly a ttended, and was sub sequently helped by th e medical attendant of the family.

The unfortunate girl, shortly after she received the charge, began to votnit, and exhibited the most dangerous symp toms. Subsequently several of the shot were extracted: but we regret to say that the worst fears are entertained. reoea s: , dsa s e. companiesag s ource thenavy We have been informed from good authority that the present system of forming a few regiments into two battalions of six companiea each is merely a temporary arrangement, and that when the pressure on the army shall be relieved, by the close of the war in China and in India, the two extra companies will be reduced, by drafting the men into the remaining ten companies, and placing the officers on temporary half-pay. This reduc tion, however, cannot take place for a considerable period ; and, contrary to the o pi n i on of many, we main tain that the military force .cannot be reduced, even though the Cbina war and the outbreaks in India were ended. Without doubt we must hereafter retain a pro tecting force in China, and in our Eastern empire a much larger proportion of Europeans will be employed than heretofore. We have heard that officers have hesitated will take place talileidrto accept promotion in the corps augmented to twelve companies, but we think they have needless fears of re duction to hal f - p aty.e.ltNh' e e . even venture eengt aspe aspect o tt oobptferhfEeoeda Eastern establish mentrnt h ioi a t ' a guide.been.placed on the same effective still aysslie.a2;l rsey f t, e t oohi i r r iff.an t i l stNi l ‘‘ .au e .sie, r fi r iali augmentationinbvii has- been during the last We regret to say that our two years.—Naval and Military Gazette. • FLOOD AT CREDITON.--OD. Wednesday afternoon an awful storm of thunder and lightning passed over a part of this parish, and a water spout, of very great length, bu:st, inundating the fields and roads to an extent never before remembered ; and, in one or two instances, clearing whole fields of the shucks of corn. The little steam at l‘loorlake was swollen to a large and rapid river, and rendered completely impassable, washing away a tine bridge recently erected over it, which many thought was a waste of the parochial finances, the stream being so in si,rniticant. Near the Barnstapl e - cross turnp ik e - gate , at the head of st lam. b field, several yards of the hedge were washed across the road, which was thereby rendered im passable for those on foot, and the road appeared as if the hedge had been across it for several years, from the bushes remaining with the earth. A house near Moor lake wa3 swept clean off. The rain did not extend to the eastern parts of the town, round which the opera tions of harvest were going on all day.— Western Times. BONDED COILN.—It IS generally expected that the corn now in bond, amounting to about 1,500,000 quarters will be liberated next week, at the duty of Bs. per quar ter on wheat. Efforts have been made so to work the averages as to reduce the payment to 7s. or to 65., and at one time it was thought that they .might be got down to lis. The happy prospects of an early and well-gathered har v est have defeated the expectations of the specu lated, and ranch red it very clear that the longer the liberation of the grain is delayed the higher will be the duty.—LcedsNcrosiy, ~.. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING. The splendid new ship Hottinguer, commanded by Captain Bursley, has just performed her first voyage, having arrived in our river this afternoon from New York, which port she left on the 21st ult. ; she has consequently made the trip in about eighteen days. We have received papers to the day of her sailing inclusive, but they contain nothing whatever regarding the pending negotiations between this country and the United States. . A motion for adjourning Congress after the Ist of August was rejected by a majority of 84 to SI, and it was generally supposed it would continue to sit until after the fate of the• Revenue Bill was known. We have accounts from Richmond, of a most dis astrous flood in Virginia. It was calculated that upwards of 300,000 bushels of wheat had been de stroyed, and the tobacco crops had also sustained con siderable damage. The river swelled higher than was ever previously remembered, and the docks, wharfs, and canal had suffered materially. The Legislature of Pennsylvania had passed a law staying executions on property. An attempt to repeal the Bankrupt law had been defeated in Senate. Exchange on Europe continued dull, and We learn that most of the sales on Paris were on credit, 5.421. to 5:45. Sterling bills on England Were sold at 10 to - l Os. - The cotton market was „dull without any change In prices, .and a moderate amount of business had been done n flour on steady terms. The London packet-ship Westminster, and the Liverpool packet-ship Siddons, had arrived at New York on the 21st of July. Pennsylvania had followed the example of some of the western states, by the passage of a law staving executions on property. The law provides that neither real nor personal property shall be sold under execu tion within one year after it shall fail, on trial, to bring two-thirds of its appraised value ; but requires the debtor to pay up the arrearages of interest on former liens, and the interest on the same and on the debt, semi-annually, during the continuance of the stay. Philadelphia,_ Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad Company have finally completed a satisfac tory arrangement with its creditors, by which the payment of the several loans of the Company is amply and effectually secured, and reasonable time is given the Company for making full and final payment. Pursuant to a notice published by the City Comp troller this morning, subscriptions were received at the Bank of the State of New York for a temporary water .stock of 500,000 dolls., bearing interest at the rate of 7 per cent. payat)le quarterly, redeemable in 1850. There were a number of applicants for the stock ; and before the bank was closed above two , thirds of the amount was subscribed for at par. THE CROPS. Wheat harvest has commenced in Caledonia, Le Roy, and other points in those regions. The crops never were better. The last week of fair, warm weather has had a most salutary influence upon all spring crops. Bay is heavy. Potatoes promise well. Corn has received a fine start, and fruit looks fine. Indeed, a bountiful Pro videtce is preparing a rich reward for the husbandman. —l?ochater Dent. The farmers in this neighbourhood are now busy with the hay harvest which has commenced under the most favourable circumstances—crops good, and the weather as fine as heart could possibly wish for. All other crops are looking well, and should Providence bless the land with a continuance of fine weather, the most abundant produce ever yielded by the soil of the Niagara District will remunerate the toil of the agriculturists.—Niagara Chronicle. The weather, for several days past, has been very warm, with occasional showers. Our farmers are busied cutting their grass crops, and have larger ones than for several years? ast. The rye and corn never looked more pro mising than at present; and should the frost hold off until November, one of the largest crops ever harvested in this valley, will be the reward of the summer's in dustry.

The ToRDCITANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool- i sack at "P.m o'Clock. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the following Bills : The Bonded Corn Bill, the Mi litia Bill, the Prisons Bill, the Tobacco Regulations Bill, the Mines and Collieries Bill, the Municipal Corporations Bill, the Double Costs Bill, the Copy- • right of Designs Bill, the Ordnance Survey Bill, the Chancery Offices Abolition Bill, the Slave Trade Suppression Bill, the East India Slavery Bill, the Rivers (Ireland) Bill, the Irish Fisheries Bill, the • Dublin Boundaries Bill, the Four Courts (Dublin) Marshalsea Bill, the Imperial Bank of England Bill, Hele's Charity Estate Bill, Street's Divorce Bill, and Sewell's Divorce Bill. The Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and the Duke of Buccleuch. A Message from the House of Commons brought up the Colonial Passengers Bill and the Bankruptcy Law Amendment Bill. The. Ecclesiastical Corporations Leasing Bill was read a third time and passed. PARISH CONSTABLES BILL. Lord WHARNCLIFFE, on moving the third reading of this Bill, said that the Commons had re jected their Lordships' amendments, and he hoped their Lordships would not press these amendments, but pass the Bill as it had colue up again from the House of Commons. After a few words from Lords RADNOR and CAMPBELL, the Bill was read a. third time, and passed. THE' IRISH MARRIAGES BILL. This Bill went through Committee, was reported, read a third time, and passed. BANKRUPTCY LAW AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the amendments of the Commons were agreed to, and the Bill was passed. The Coventry Boundaries Bill was read a second time, committed, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The Canada Loan Bill was read a third time, and passed. The Lunatic Asylums (Ireland) Bill was read a third time, and passed. NEWFOUNDLAND BILL. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from the Solicitor and Agent in the Newfoundland House ofAs sembly, against what the petitioner termed the disfran chisement of the colony of Newfoundland. The Noble and Learned Lord supported the prayer of the peti tion, and said, that although there were some pro visions of the Bill of which he approved, yet he utterly objected to swamping the representation of the people by the nominees of the Crown. He moved that Counsel be heard at the bar against the Bill. He would be no party to the introduction of Counsel merely to impede the progress of the Bill, but he understood that the Counsel were in attendance. After a short conversation it was agreed that the Counsel should be heard before a Committee of the whole House. On the motion of the Earl of RIPON, the House accordingly resolved itself into Committee, and Mr. Burge was called in.—He said that he had been so recently instructed on the case which it was his duty to lay before them. that he must entreat their Lordships to grant him until to-morrow. The Earl of RIPON said, could not the Bill go through Committee, and the Learned Gentleman be heard on the next stage ? Lord BROUGHAM—WouId you not rather be heard now, Mr. Burge? The LORD CHANCELLOR—To be sure : it is only a figure of rhebOric.—(Laughter.) Lord BROUGHAM—Yes, yes.—(Laughter.) Mr. Burge preferred to have time. 1 The LORD CHANCELLOR said the Committee had better go on, and from what he knew of the Learned Gentleman at the bar, Le would be able, be tween this and five o'clock to-morrow, so to condense what he had to say, as greatly to save their Lord ships' time, so that their Lordships would gain by the delay.—(Laughter.) Tile Bill then went through Committee, and was ordered to be. read a third time to-morrow. . • The remaining Orders were then disposed of. Several other Bills having afterwards been brought up from the Commons, and severally read a first thee, a considerable suspension of business took place, their Lordships waiting for the Insolvent Debtors Bill, which was expected from the Com mons. The Bill having at length been brought up, the amendments were agreed to, and the Bill was passed. The House adjourned at a Quarter to Seven o'Clock. FALMOUTH, AUG. 9, 8 A.

" Her Ladyship the Countess of Elgin," says the Jamaica Ifiopatch of the 7th ult., "still continu , s in a Tery precarious condition. We understand that her milled attendants, who were in consultation up to a late houryesterdity ; considered the probable issue of her ill ness as extremely doubtful. " This crisis in her Ladyship's health.cannot be other wise than heart-rending to his Excellency the Governor. The ladies of Spanish-Town, we learn, have been unre mitting in the it attention and endeavours to contribute to her Ladyships comfort, for which they deserve great credit." The Countess of Elgin on the morning . of the steamer leaving was somewhat better. Lord Elgin was popular. The House of Assembly would open in October. The crops were expected to be very good. Sir Charles Adams had arrived at Bermuda from Belize, and sailed in the Illustrious, on the 23d, for Halifax. The 20th Regiment had disembarked on the 25th, and on the 28th the Ist battalion Rifle Brigade were to embark for Halifax. The Ringdove and Reindeer, surveying vessels, were there. The Gleaner sailed same day fur England. The Tay sailed from Turk's Island the 15th of July for Jamaica.

STATE OF TRADF. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCIIESTER.—Ovving to the unsettled state of the town yesterday, arisinm from the turn-out of work people, to which we elsewhere allude, the market was somewhat irregular. On the whole, however, prices were fully as high as last week on every description of cloth ; and on some counts and qualities of yarn an advance of about 1-Bth per pound was pretty gene rally realized. Had it not been for the cause alluded to, a large business would most probably have been done. HoCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, AUG. s.— There has been but a dull market to-day, and not much hope is entertained of a speedy improvement. There certainly has been rather more business done than on the preceding Monday, which was ono of the worst that has occurred for some weeks back. The prices still continue extremely low ; and, till we have a better demand, thvy cannot be expected to improve. The workpeople are just barely employed at ruinously low wages. The wool market has undergone no change since last Monday that is worth recording. FOUR MEN D R OWNED.—LERWICS, JULY 2.5. Another boat, while engaged in fishing, has been unfor tunately lost, with four men—viz. Alexander Barclay, David Barclay. Robert Moncrieff, and Hugh Poleson. David Barclay was the son of Alexander Barclay.— Wick Paper. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE—No. Sir J. GRAHAM—He had been permitted to resign —at least such was the report of the Governor. lie would admit that during thecourse of the last spring an epi demic had prevailed in the Penitentiary, and many deaths had ensued, but that had not been occasioned either by the diet or discipline ; for a more generous diet bad been adopted, and a relaxation in the severity of the disci pline had taken place, on the recommendation of Dr. Baillie, before the epidemic had made its appear ance. That epidemic had been attributed to various causes, some persons imagined that the situation wan unhealthy ; he did not agree in that opinion, but he had directed Dr. Baillie to institute inquiry into the health of prisons similarly situated, and to report on the sub ject. He was also happy to state that cases of insanity in that prison were less frequent thati formerly. With respect to the man who had died in Bartholo mew's Hospital, and whose funeral expenses it had been said Dr. Baillie had undertaken to pay be fore they would admit. him, he begged to say that they invariably refused to admit a patient unless some person was answerable for his funeral ex penses. With respect to the other case to which allusion had been made, there could be no doubt that the man had simulated stupor ; but he (Sir James Graham) could not altogether approve of the treatment to which that man had been subjected. With respect to the general superintendence of the prison, it was under a Commission, the members of which were above suspi cion, and he heard a short time since from a person who had attended a man who had been a prisoner in that in stitution, and who in his dying moments stated that the: Penitentiary was the best institution in the world, and ire his dying moments had directed his thanks to he re turned to the officers of that establishment for the kind ness with which he had been treated. Mr. HUME objected to the intervention of Commis ' sioners to screen the Governors of prisons and the Secre tary of State from responsibility. The experiment of the Penitentiary had completely tailed. It was situated in a bog, and must be unhealthy. He objected still more to the ma,nagement ; it ought to be under the management ' of a responsible Governor, and subjected to vigilant: inspection, the Secretary of State being responsible for the general management of all cases. A plan of that sort had been adopted on the Continent, and found to answer. And until some such plan had been adopted in this country, all at tempts at. prison discipline would be feilures. They had prisons in the Isle of Wight, prisons in Pentoneille, prisons here, prisons there, prisons everywhere—the whole country was full of prisons—and yet they could not ____ 4 .-- , agree as to any efficient system,.
