Mr. Alfred Wigan commenced his winter season last evening with the greatest eclat. The first piece performed was a farce, entitled " A Cozy Couple," in which Mr. and Mrs. F. Mathews made their appearance, and were most warmly welcomed. " The Scrap of Paper," which fol lowed, is a very recent novelty, and full justice was done last season to the excellence of the cast and the general good taste and feeling with which the details of this charming comedy were carried out. Mr. and Mrs. Wigan, who played of eourse their old parts, were received last night with every demonstration of public cordiality. Miss Herbert, with Messrs. Ashley, Belmore, and Dewar, an d, indeed, the whole of tne per formers, can have no reason to complain of their reception. At the close of the comedy Mr. and Mrs. Wigan were loudly called for, and bowed their acknowledgments when the curtain was raised for the purpose. Miss Herbert also was complimented by a call, and was led across the stage in the front of the curtain by Mr. Dewar. The farce of " Dono on Both Sides," in which the principal parts were performed by Mr. G.Vining,Mr. Frank Matthews, Mrs. Wank Matthews, and Miss Moore, concluded the evening's entertainments. Mr. J. Robins also made his appearance last evening in the broadly humorous character of Pigmalion Phibbs, in the farce —a part well suited to his quiet humour. By the additions that have been made to it the company have gained strength, and the am oun t o f talent now engage d in t hi s theatre will readily be tested should any old stock drama, or an y new one with a strong caste, be brought out. The whole performances were characterised by a high degree of fin i s h. The house was filled with a numerous and fashion able audience. We regret DEATH OF MAJOR SIBTIIORP, M . p to announce the death of Major Sibthorp, .N / Lin coln. The lion. and gallant gentleman died s;idd . efnolr o terday , and fell into the arms of Mr. Beresford Hope, y with whom he was conversing. CHARD AND TAUNTON RAILWAY.—The prospec tus of this railway is in circulation. The undertaking is brought forward with strong local support. The list o f promoters comprises some of the best known names in the district. The object is to connect the two main lines of the Bristol and Exeter and London and South Western Rail way Companies, and thus to afford access to the Bristol and English Channels. When the line is completed, together with another branch of about three miles, the distance from channel to channel will be about 45 miles, and this, it is computed, will save a distance of about 250 miles in the passage between the north and the south-east coast. The Bristol and Exeter Company have agreed to work the line at 45 per cent. of the gross earnings, and to guarantee a minimum of £4,750, which is equal to nearly 4 per cent. on the capital of £120,000. Interest at the rate of 3 per cent. er annum is to be paid on the calls during construction. he shares are of £5 each, with a deposit of £1 ss. S-11ARE .MARKET-(TIIIS DAY.)

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. MONDAY. The opening of the meeting certainly disappointed ex pectation. Although the morning trains brought a large accession of visitors from London and the north, the atten dance on the heath was not so numerous as that on the first day of the First October Meeting. The card, indeed, possessed very few attractions either for the genuine betting man or the less interested lover of racing. Originally ten events were appointed for decision, but of these four were compromised. The Handicap Plate was therefore the only item of interest which the card contained, and the race for it excited considerable curiosity, from the fact of the " trial horses" of nearly all the leading favourites of the Cesare witch being amongst the competitors. Thus the figure made by the " performers " was watched with much inte rest. Sir William, as was anticipated, threw some light on the chance of Paste, whilst the positions held in the betting by Calpe, Asteroid, the Giraffe filly, La Vapeur, and Rap pares were affected by the running of their respective stable companions, Chere Arnie, Moorhen, King of Diamonds, Mdlle. de Chantilly, and Weazel. The race, it will be seen, was won by Chere Arnie, who is trained in the same stable with Calpe. More pleasant weather could scarcely have been desired ; the atmosphere was bright and warm, and despite the meagre supply of sport, the afternoon on the heath was thoroughly enjoyed. The movements relative to the Cesarewitch are described at the foot cf the subjoined re turn of the racing. Handicap Sweepstakes of 20 sous each for 3-yr-olds and upwards. T.Y.C.

On entering the cords Cronstadt dropped back, and Cantab quitted his horses and won by four lengths ; the second beating the third by two lengths. The others were pulling up as they passed the chair. THE NEW ACT. Mr. Buchanan, Basinghall-street, obtained two adjudi cations under the new act—one against Dod, of Rayner•. street, Clerkenwell, and James-street, Bedford-row, auc tioneer; and Reynolds, Henry street, Pentonville.l The new ruleedirect that the statement required to be filed in Court by any debtors presenting petitions against themselves shall be verified on oath, and filed within three days after filing such petition ; or within such further time as the Court may under the circumstances allow, and if not filed within that time the petition will he dismissed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—(This Lay.) (Before the Assistant Judge.) THE BURGLARY IN FOBERT'S-PASSAGE. Three men named Anson, Newman, and Somers, were indicted for being concerned in a burglary in Fobert's passage. From the evidence of Police-constable 339 A, it appeared that, on the 4th October, about a quarter past two in the morning, he saw Anson and Newman in front of a house in Fobert's-passage ; and, knowing them to be well-known thieves, he took them into custody. He (witness) returned to the house about four o'clock, and then, from certain in formation, he was induced to make an entry by the front floor window, when ho found Somers inside the house, and a large quantity of property all tied up ready for removal. He took him into custody, and placed him with the other two men he had taken into custody. • Evidence having been offered, The jury returned a verdict of guilty. The Assistant-Judge asked whether anything was known of the prisoners. Sergeant Holmes of the F division, said he had known the prisoner Anson for the last fourteen years as a thief ; his cognomen amongst his associaties was " Shiner." (Laughter.) He had been previously convicted and sen tenced to seven years transportation. The other prisoners were well-known thieves. Somers—l don't know the two men beside me. The Judge—You have told the jury so, and they don't believe you. I bntirely coincide with the decision they have arrived at. Somers—Well, it is very hard I'm not be believed. The Judge—You don't mean to say you are not guilty. You were taken into custody in the house that was so nearly robbed. Somers—Well, I must say I was in the house, but I don't know the two others who the police say are thieves. Newman said he had never been in trouble before. The Judge said the police appeared to know them very well. All had been previously convicted, and it was for the protection of the public generally that the prisoners should be prevented carrying on their system of plunder for some time. He thought there was not the slightest occa sion to make any difference with respect to the punishment each should receive, and he should therefore sentence them each to 10 years' penal servitude. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT. Caroline Lock pleaded guilty to an indictment charging her with stealing a number of articles of wearing apparel, the property of Mr. Newton, of Gower -street. The Judge said he should like to know something about the prisoner. Mr. Newton said she had been in his service for some time, and was looked upon as a trustworthy person. Her wages, he thought, were about £l4 a year, and she had money in the savings bank, so ho did riot think it could be want that had driven her to commit the robbery. She, however, he believed, was about to be married, and perhaps such a circumstance might have induced her to take the things. The mother of the prisoner, a widow, said the prisoner was her daughter, and was the eldest but one of ten chil dren, five of whom she had with her at home. She could not account for her child robbing her master, but she asked the Court to deal mercifully with her child, who had hitherto borne an honest and upright character. The learned Judge said it was a very melancholy case. The prisoner, in the possession of a good character, had gained the confidence of her master and mistress, and after that had so far forgotten herself as to rob them. He could not but think that the idea of marriage had induced the prisoner to steal the articles. Her conduct in admitting a young man to her master's house after he had retired to rest was highly censurable, for it was by such acts houses were too frequently robbed. In this case, however, it appeared the person admitted was a respectable man, but he could not but think it was highly improper for him to visit the house at such a time. He would, in the present instance, inflict a very lenient sentence on the prisoner, as he had been in formed that immediately she came out of prison she would quit London for the country, where he hoped she would conduct herself in such a way as to regain the character she had now to a certain extent lost. The sentence of the court was that she be imprisoned in the House of Correction for two calender months. Margaret Mackenzie was found guilty of stealing a shawl and other articles from her landlady. Police-constable 16 D said the prisoner was a most dangerous and ungrateful thief, she had been repeatedly in prison. The judge sentenced her to three years' penal servitude. SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. Payne.) Two men, named Hawkins and Scott, were indicted for stealing a bps of rags, value 18s., the property of the employer of Hawkins. The jury found both prisoners guilty. The Judge sentenced Hawkins to nine, and Scott to 18 months' imprisonment. POLICE INT_ELLIGENCE.—( This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ANOTHER DOG STEALING CASE.—A crossing. sweeper, named Thomas Lucas, was charged, before Mr. Beadon, with knowingly and corruptly receiving the sum of 10s. from Mr. Marcus Amor, jun., of 135, New Bond-street, for recovering a dog, his property, the dog having been stolen. It appeared that about five weeks ago Mr. Amor lost his dog, and the prisoner came to hint and said he knew where it was, and the man who had got it. Mr. Amor told the prisoner he would give him ss. for his trouble if he got the dog back, and the prisoner left, but returned and said the persons who had got it said they would rather kill it, and that they must have 10s. He gave the prisoner 10s., and he brought the doe back. Prisoner made a rambling defence, showing that he was well acquainted with the dog stealing fraternity. He, how ever, denied all knowledge of the way the dog got to Shore ditch, where he found it. Mr. Beadon said the prisoner's conduct proved that he well knew the dog stealers; and it was strange if, as he pretended, ho knew nothing of the dog that he should be able to go to the man who had it. Butcher, 137 C, who recently captured a dog-receiver of the name of Kendilton, and who now awaits his trial, asked for a remand, which was granted. THE REASON WHY.—Two rough looking fellows named Wm. Waling and John M'Alister, who had evidently given oach other a severe mawling, were charged with being drunk and fighting. Mr. Beadon—Why do you get drunk, and then fight ? One of the Defendants—We had not seen one another for a long time, and we met, got drunk, and then had a fight. (Laughter.) Mr. Beadon discharged them with a caution. THIS DAY'S SKIPPING.

They have hitherto relied unwillingly, it is true, but still re' d, upon high prices attracting a supply of Indian cotton to our shores, sufficient at least to save us from the horrors of a cotton famine. Surat is not the cot ton they like, and in whatever quantity it may come, they will still regret their shipments from the South, bet brown bread is far better than starvation. But what if the cotton should not come after all, if high prices should for once lose their efficacy, if, in short, the difficulties of transit should prove absolutely insuperable at any price the dealers can profitably pay ? In that case, we should be reduced to the produce of the coast districts, and there are signs that three quarters of a million bales is the maximum quantity those districts can afford, It is an odd thing, we hear it re marked, that previous high prices should never have brought us the yield of new and untapped cotton-fields. We will not assert that we can answer all these questions peremptorily, or with the amplitude of information Lord Canning could secure upon the spot ; but we can, we believe, give an approximate estimate, and proofs of that estimate, sufficiently accurate to form a basis for reasonable calcula tion. The points to be settled are, we apprehend first, what price will attract cotton from the interior in any quantity and with certainty of supply F and secondly, will the means of carriage suffice for a demand wholly without precedent 1. The:district, from which new cotton, i. c. cotton in excess of the coast supply, must come, may be most readily defined as Berar. Berar is not the only great cotton field, but it is the largest, the richest, the most centrical, and for many reasons the one which affords returns least favourable to buyers in Europe. It is, for example, as far from a port as a district in India can possibly be, is only partially under British rule, and is occupied by a comparatively untrained race of cultivators. The central depot of Berar is Hingun ghat, and at Hingunghat the price of packed cotton must be taken at 3d a lb all round. Much lower figures are some- times given, but they are all, we believe, for unginned cot ton. Mr. Mackey gave 2id per lb as his estimate for Guze rat, and we know of nothing which should make Berar cheaper. Wages also have increased more than 50 per cent. since his time, our taxation is heavier than the native, and we must allow for an excessive demand. Altogether the figure given in the official report for 1854-3 d. per lb. — must, we fear, till European buyers live on the spot, be ac cepted as accurate. This cotton generally travels by a fair weather road to Mirzapore, on the Ganges, at an expense estimated by Capt. llaig, the singularly able engineer of the Godavery, who, in 1856, predicted the very calamity which has occurred, and pointed out the means of remedying it, and who was in possession of all the information obtainable on the spot, at 80 rs. a ton. or in round figures :Id. a lb. At Mirzapore the fibre is transferred to boats, and though the subsequent voyage to Calcutta adds but a fraction to the actual carriage, still the exposure, and the frightful propor tion of accidents—a proportion which has broken up the native insurance or bona system—adds at least another id. We have then to add Calcutta profit at 25 per cent., and freight to England at £4 10s. a ton, and the account will then stand thus : _ Price of packed cotton Bullock carriage, 420 miles to Mirzapore Boat to Calcutta • . t /7 Profit to merchant I ~ Freight i per lb. 1 4 ), Total price on board ship Add the English importer's profit, and the enormous addi tion great pressure for carriage makes to the price of bul locks, and cotton from Berar is not, at less than Sid per lb, a very profitable article of import. As a matter of fact, we believe Calcutta dealers are apt to look in times of pressure for 6d., a figure the Indian cotton has just touched. That price once secure, we believe Central and Southern India may be swept of its crop and its hoard ; the latter, we believe— and we are partly snpportcd by Mr. Mackey—larger than is co manly supposed. The merchants must, however, be made tolerably secure, for the interval between the issue of the order in Calcutta and its ;ulfiiment is at least ninety days—a long time to stand the chance of a breach in the American blockade. The money must go from England, for Calcutta has not zhe capital, and, besides, looks to quicker returns. 2. That price, then, we believe, on the best information we can collect—and Capt. Haig's is absolutely reliable— will suffice to bring all cotton now grown to England ; there remains the means of carriage, a point upon which no man alive can give an absolute opinion. But there is one broad fact patent to everybody, and that is, that whatever the crop, it does already go somewhere. The means which disperse it all over India will carry it to Mirzapore. Prices may rise, and drivers may grow contumacious, but we have allowed for their rising 200 per cent., and Indians knew their own interests. Government might in this matter do a good deal—its commissariat being accustomed to such little arrangements as preparing 15 miles of carriage to travel 200 miles ; and a strong hint to the magistracy to keep a horse patrol on the road, and flog every policeman who levied an illegal transit duty—i. e. every policeman on the line, un less watched—would do yet more. There may still be diffi culty, but not, we believe, greater than would cause a del,y of perhaps two months in the regular despatch of the crop. It is not the conveyance of masses of goods, but the time taken in conveying them, which puzzles Indian speculators, and the area over which export would extend is equal to a good many Irelands full of flourishing and bullock keeping villages. The quantity obtainable has still to be ascertained, and upon this point all assertions, except one, must be mere guesswork. The exception is this, that the minimum pro duce of India is always sufficient to export to England and China 600,000 bales, without sensibly affecting the regular supply left to clothe two hundred millions of natives. The supply is a good deal more scattered than can be pleasant to dealers, but there are no provinces so far from available water communication as Berar—though the Godavery in American hands would be a thronged highway—and for whatever cotton there is, the native certainly cannot, and for one year will not, compete with his English rival. In deed one reflex consequence of a real pressure for cotton in India would be an enormous increase on the demand for the English manufactured article, and the development of a trade which contains possibilities that might startle even Manchester. There is one little certainty connected with Indian commerce which to us has always seemed to bear slightly on the condition of England, and it is this : If India took head for head the amount of British goods, which Ceylon takes head for head, our export trade to India alone would be 300 millions sterling, or greater than our exist ing export trade with all the world. There is no difference of.soil, climate, population, or anything else, except that Ceylon was never under the company, that English and Roman laws make life and property tolerably secure, and that the island is owned by British settlers.—Spectator. THE LATE VISCOUNT FORTH AND MRS. LLOYD. —A paragraph, copied into our columns yesterday from the Bristol Mercury, headed " A Sad Story," was, we are in formed by Captain Lloyd, inaccurate in that portion which related to him. Captain Lloyd states that on his marriage the lady was only 19. She had not had any children, and no scandal had attached to her name. He obtained no pe cuniary benefit or assistance from the marriage; indeed, the settlement made by his father was, he states, far larger than that on her side. Lord Forth met Mrs. Lloyd last year after the proceedings in the Divorce Court, and not as stated, in the Queen's Bench. PRINCE LEOPOLD.—We believe that his Royal Highness Prince Leopold will not pass the ensuing winter in Southern Italy, as was originally intended. A house has been taken for his Royal Highness at Cannes, close to the villa of Lord Brougham, and the young Prince will proceed thither in a few weeks in charge of Sir Edward Bowater. RESPITE OF THE MURDERER FRASER.—The Lord Provost of Glasgow received on Sunday Morning a respite, until the further signification of her Majesty's pleasure, of Daniel Fraser, who was sentenced to undergo the extreme penalty of the law at the recent Court there for _ - the murder -of a man named Patrick M'Kenny. His Lordship immediately proceeded to the North Prison, where Fraser is confined, and intimated to him the receipt of his respite. Mr. M'Cormick, M.P. for the city of Derry, en- tertained his constituents in splendid style, on Thursday, at a place about seven miles from the town, where the hon. gentleman has reclaimed 2,000 acres from Lough Swilly, and has not only made it terra firma, but made it produce excellent crops, and has on it some 500 of the finest speci mens of cattle, sheep, pigs, &o, He has a steam plough at work, which takes seven men to attend it, and turns up six acres per day. When the company had satisfied their curiosity in examining the crops, stock, machinery, &c., about 150 gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner pro vided in a marquee. Mr. M' Cormick promised that the Derry and Lough Swilly R ailwa y should b e finished in May next at a cost of £ 2,500 per mile. It is expected to confer great advantages on Derry and on the district of Donegal, which it will open up. THE GREAT EASTERN. —The following is for warded to us, as comprising an abstract of the proceedings at the conference which was held by the directors of the Great Ship Company with a large number of the principal proprietors, on Friday last :—" The Chairman (Mr. Baker) stated that notwithstanding the severe trial to which the ship had been exposed, the result of careful su rve y s was perfectly satisfactory in respect of the hull and machinery ; that, excepting the damage sustained by th e ru dd er , th e loss of the rudder-post and paddlewheels, and the damage to furniture and other articles, the ship remained in a per fect state. That the estimated cost for repairing all the damage did not exceed £B,OOO, and that to complete the ship for another voyage, with coals, stores, and provisions, and to maintain a proper floating capital, a further sum of £17,000 should be raised. Confident opinions were expressed by proprietors of the value of their property, and Mr. J. S. Russell refuted the many fallacies that have been circulated as to the causes of the accident. He forcibly explained to the proprietors the great qualities of the ship, and that alte rations were not necessary. His opinions were unanimously approved, and the following resolution passed That whatever funds be needed for the repair of the ship, esti mated at £B,OOO, and to provide working capital for her out• fit foranothor voyage (not exceeding £25,000 in the whole), be raised by debentures bearing interest at the rate of 1 per cent. per annum, covered by a second mortgage of the I ship:" THE GREAT EASTERN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—ln the Liverpool Mercury of the 9th inst. I find a paragraph, taken from your Asper, relative to the last passage of the Great Eastt,ru, the Persia, and the City of New York, which, I think, rcquiri:s some comment. No nautical man could coalc to the co3clu that if one vessel met with a hurricane six days before another reached the same latitude, both must be exposed to the same adverse circumstances, but rather that, as equinoctial gales only blow from 24 to 48 hours, the latter vessel would fled calm weather, but probably a heavy swell, On comparing the log of the Great Eastern with that of the City of New York, I find that on the 13th of September they were distant 1 deg. 30 rain. lat. N., and 6 deg. 50 min. long. W., the latter vessel making only 82 mitts; while on the 12th, when the accident had not occurred to the rudder, the Great Eastern made 283 miles through a strong breeze and cross sea. _ On the 14th the City of New York made only 126 miles, and this performance of a vcsscl, considered by nautical men to be a very good model, a n d the finest ship of the "Inman" line, ought to go far to disprove, instead of substantiate, your conclusion, " that the weather in which the Great Eastern was disabled was nothing unusual at this season of the year in the North Atlantic." The disabling of so many of the Channel Fleet, and the logs of vessels sailing near us during the gale, tend to prove that it was not the usual weather, as the harbour at Queenstown might witness. Among many there alongside us, the John Davis put in disabled, with no less than three crews on board, picked up at sea. Had not the accident to the rudder occurred, placing us at the mercy of the winds and waves, the Great Eastern would have more than upheld her former prestige, as her great [superiority is most shown when heading a stiff breeze and head sea, and her log bears favourable comparison with "the September and October passages" of any vessel afloat. Requesting your insertion of this note, I am, Sir, yours obediently, JAMES WALKER, Commander. Steamship Great Eastern, Milford Haven, Oct. 11. THE GAOL OF NETVGATE. The public is aware that during the last twelve months very extensive alterations and improvements have been going on in the interior of the gaol of Newgate, and they have now been brought to a con clusion, and it is hoped that this prison, to which offenders are sent from a district comprising nearly three millions of souls, will in future be found bet ter suited to the humane spirit of the age than it has been for a great many years. The alterations that have just been completed have reference to the 'female side of the prison, which is now made to correspond with the male, each prisoner being confined separately, and thus all chance of mutual contamination is avoided. Until very re cently the male prisoners awaiting their trial were all mingled indiscriminately together; and, although possibly a prisoner, charged with some atrocious murder or other heinous offence, was kept apart from his companions in crime, yet the general, and:, indeed unavoidable practiee,was for all the prisoners to be mixed together, and it frequently happened that burglars, ticket-of-leave men, and old and har dened criminals of every description, were placed in. the same ward with young men who were charged. with a first offence ; and as there was no means of preventing them from conversing together, the principal amusement of the gaol consisted in old offenders giving an account of their various plans of plundering the public, their escapes from justice,, and devising fresh schemes of villany. This, of course, had a most mischievous effect, and repeated. representations were made to Government and to the Corporation of London who had the immediate charge of the gaol, upon the subject ; and these re presentations at length had the effect of inducing the Corporation to interfere, and the whole of that portion of the gaol devoted to the reception of male prisoners has, within the last three years, been com pletely remodelled, every prisoner having a sepa rate cell, and thus no opportunity was offered for the old offender to contaminate a noviciate in crime. This alteration was found to work so well that ear nest endeavours were made to effect a corresponding alteration on the female side of the prison, and hap pily these endeavours have at length been crowned. with success. It appears that the average number of female prisoners confined in the gaol is 35, but accommodation has been provided for 50 prisoners, each of whom have a separate cell, and they will have no opportunity of communicating with or con taminating each other. Under the old system ali the female prisoners occupied the same ward, prosti tutes and women of notoriously bad character being mingled with servant girls, or prisoners charged. with a first offence, and here, as with the male pri soners, the old offenders appeared to take a wicked. delight in endeavouring- to bring their more innocent companions to their own level, and thus extinguishing every hope of their reforming or be coming good members of society. The arrange ments, which appear most admirably calculated to effect the object sought for, have been effected under a contract with Messrs, Brown and Robinson, at a cost of something like £lO,OOO. Upon the old site four corridors have been erected, connected together by an iron staircase in the centre, and which con tain each 13 cells. These cells are 12 feet long and seven feet wide, and contain the necessary accom modation for their intended inmates. Every cell is heated by hot air conveyed through pipes at the top, and each prisoner can obtain a copious supply of external air by merely moving a small iron lattice window. In the event also of a prisoner being taken ill or requiring assistance during the night, she can, by pulling a handle, communicate with a gong which is placed outside the corridor, and which can be heard all over this portion of the building, and would be immediately attended to by the female warders in charge. The laundry in which the pri soners will ultimately be employed, is of the most complete description, and comprises a steam appa ratus and every convenience. The apartments allotted to the female warders are in the basement of the building, and the whole place is constructed so as to give them an opportunity of seeing everything that is going on, and in the event of any of the pri soners being violent or refractory, they can readily obtain assistance from the male side. In connexion with the altered arrangements of the gaol, a most spacious airing-yard has been 'made, where the prisoners will have an opportunity of enjoying healthy exercise during a considerable portion of the day, but of course under strict supervision and in silence, no conversation being permitted to take place between them. Effectual means have been taken to preserve cleanliness, and to prevent the in troduction of contagious or infectious disease into the gaol. Two cells are specially prepared for the reception of every prisoner, where she will have to remain when first brought to the prison until the medical officer certifies that she is in a fit state to be placed in her particular class. There are also hot and cold baths in this portion of the prison, and an abundant supply of hot and cold water. It, of c ourse, frequently happens that a prisoner conductsto herself in a violent and unbecoming manner, and. refuseso is, by yand placing h punishment adopted for such conform to the regulations eh of ee th ed e of which there the refractory party in a cell, . upctriis" in the basement, which is totally dark ; and she i t s w h o ere confined, of course under medical superin tendence, until she becomes penitent. This mode of punishment, which has already been adopted on the male side, and which has hith er t o b een f oun d mo st effectual, will doubtless be attended with a similar salutary effect in the case of females. The whole of the building is now completed, and it is expected that by the next, or at all events the November session, the different cells will be suffi ciently dry to be ready for the reception of the un fortunate prisoners who will have to occupy them ; and the gaol of Newgate will, undoubtedly, hence forward be entitled to rank as one of the model prisons of the country. ELECTRICITY OR THE WILL.—The Medical Times and Gazette, in commenting on Sir L. Bulwer's " Strange Story," relates the following anecdote :—" Nearly 10 years ago a most distinguished surgeon, of great endowments in mechanical and physical science, called on the writer to show him (besides some curious inventions which are now in use), a machine he had invented for measuring the force of the electric currents excited by muscular action. T. ll . e re were two cylinders to be grasped, wires, &c., needle, ga,levi!,; nometer, as usual. Oa grasping either cylinder, th r e f u vien d% was deflected, and so on.
