His Honour this morning gave judgment in the case of this bankrupt, who was a corn dealer and factor at Ux bridge, and the application for certificate was argued at great length a few days since. 108 110 107 109 1 1* p The bankrupt had been indicted on several cases, but acquitted, and it was urged on his behalf that he ought not be subjected to any penalty under the Bankrupt laws, but he was strongly opposed by tne assignees on general grounds, and by Mr. Way, a creditor, for fraud. His Honour reviewed the general facts of the case. The bankrupt had carried on business for 20 years, and had acquired a reputation which induced persons to place great confidence in him, and ho appeared to have maintained that reputation without spot or blemish up to July, 1860. His Honour said he would read the report of the official eeignee, founded on the accounts by Messrs. Harris Brothers and Ha les and to which he was, no doubt, in debted for u n r o ) t being Convicted at the Criminal Court. He (his Honour) the Jury not for a single moment dispute the direction no legal frand, Ju l3: by the learned Judge that there was the bankrupt had unquestionably committed a grave offence which the Court could take cog nisance of. It could for tho same the ' f be said that he was being tried had not been acquitted on the facts, but under direchtie of the learned judge on a point of law.

He said that before he indorsed the certificate as to the cause of suspicion, he would give the a ss i gnees and Mr. Way time to consider whether they wished pro tection to be withheld, which, if he indorsed the writ, they must do. He should adjourn his formal judgment for a week. The assignees and Mr. Way said they would consent to protection being granted. His Honour said it must be a request, not a consent. Trotection was then granted. 90 9:: 99 101 98 100 id p i d if) 22 23 15dAbeideen,gua.fip.c Do. 7 p. c. pref. stock South Devon, Ann. 10s. Do. Fixed 4i per cent.

They had colDpleted a boring, and were in the act of ramming home the charge of powder, when, it is supposed, the iron with which they were packing the shot struck against some substance which caused a spark to ignite the gunpowder. A fearful explosion took place right in the faces of the men, tossing them in all directions, one poor fellow being thrown nearly 30 feet, yet, strange to say, none of them were hurt, with the exception of one man, who sustained a slight cut on his loft eyelid. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER . "8, 1861. IRELAND'S AGRICULTURAL PRO- GRESS. ( From the Speoial Correspondent of the Times.) ULSTER SCHOOL FARM, BELFAST, OCTOBER. Ireland does not lack public 'institutions for advancing the arts of husband r y an d b ree di ng, and developing the scarce-discovered virtues of her soil. We do not speak now of the Landed Estates Court, which secures the much needed union between land and capital; the Board of Works, which provides roads, trunk-drains, and loans for under drainage, building, and eve r y c l ass o f f arm i mprovement, • .dosel and which has vast amendments yet to make in the river channels of the country, notwithstanding the great scale works we have summed up in a previous paper—the Ord nance Survey and Valuation—which supplies the proprietor with an accurate map of his fields, geologically coloured, and with contour lines of level by which road-making, drain excavation, &c., may be laid out; the Statistics Department under the Registrar-General, which chronicles results and guides the future of Agricultural production ; and other agencies more or less closely connected with the Go vernment. There is the Royal Dublin Society "for promoting husbandry and other useful arts," hold ing large spring and winter shows of cattle and produce, always in Ireland's metropolis, and latterly in the beautiful Aricultural Hall erected for the pur pose. There is the Royal Agricultural Improvement So ciety, modelled after our English society, but Saving a more liberal constitution so far as the election of council members is concerned. This national organisation is well supported by the landed gentry and the higher class of farmers, breeders, and graziers. Its grand effort is the an nual autumn exhibition of live stock and implements in some provincial town of Ireland, to which are added the promotion of improvement in the dwellings and domestic condition of the agticultural population, giving the publi cation of a report and transactions, giving its members pri vileges of chemical analysis by the society's chemist, and the encouragement of local farming societies by premiums for cattle, cropping, well-managed farms, ploughing or digging matches, cleanly cottages, &c. Thirty such as sociations, in all parts of Ireland, are now in connection with the central society, and are doing much to intirse a taste for good management among the generally backward farmers. In some distEcts, however, particularly of the South and West, we heard complaints that the efforts of such institutions aro thankless and hopeless;little impression being as yet made on the apathetic tone of the small cultiva tors; while, in spite of the rigid exclusion of sectarian and political matters from these societies, religious parties will not all unite in supporting these means of elevating a rustic community. Another valuable institution is the Chymico- A gricultural Association of Ulster, with its con sulting chymical professor at Belfast. But where, in a kingdom full of cattle, is the indispensable school of vete rinary medicine? At present, existing only as a project, but which, for the credit of Ireland, and to be in harmony with the characteristics of her husbandry, should be carried into practical and beneficial realisation. Among the valuable means which are working for the advancement of Irish farming aro agricultural schools, un der the supervision of the Board of National Education, which by its ordinary schools is achieving such marked re sults in the general instruction of the youth of Ireland. Several classes of agricultural schools are assisted or sup ported by the Board. First, workhouse school-farms, where on the recommendation of the Agricultural Inspectors, the masters receive a gratuity averaging about £5 per annum, there being at present about 50 such school-farms of 1 to 26 acres in 22 counties. Second, ordinary school-farms, where a master rents a few acres, devotes a part of each day to indoor and outdoor agricultural teaching, and is allowed £5 a year in addition to his salary. Of such, there are now 42, in 20 counties,havingplots of ground of from 1 to 27 acres, and instructing from 5 to 66 pupils each. Third, agricultural schools, under local management, where the master bears the expense, takes the receipts, and receives £lO yearly from the board. Fourth, agricultural schools managed ex elusively by the commissioners. These two classes comprise 36 considerable farms, with model farm buildings, and large and handsome establishments for the accommodation and instruction of pupils. In 1859 the number of agricultural boarders at these schools was 216, and of agricultural day pupils 1,145 ; and as a college to which these establishments aro preparatory, there is the Albert National Agricultural Training Institution at Glasnevin, near Dublin. This was established in 1838 to supply such instruction in scientific practical agriculture as will qualify young men for land. stewards, agriculturists, agricultural teachers, and so on; the students (generally the sons of farmers) having for the most part obtained farms or situations, and a small propor tion emigrated. In the large and handsome building are dormitories, dining-hall, lecture end school-rooms, for seventy-five resident pupils ; a museum, library, and labo ratory, and apartments for the superintendent, matron, land-steward, literary teacher, and servants. The lite rary instruction includes book-keeping, land surveying, levelling, and mapping, as well as the usual branches of a sound English education, and lecturers of high standing give courses in animal physiology and pathology, botany and vegetable physiology, chymistry and geology, practical agriculture and horticulture, the whole being under the supervision of Dr. Kirkpatrick. The farm con sists of 180 acres, on which various systems of rotation cropping 'are exemplified, and the best implements and ma chinery used; and in the large 4nd complete set of farm offices, with steam engine and thrashing machine, mills, &c., stall-feeding of dairy cows, fattening of cattle, &c., are carried on. All the labour is perfm,ned by the pupils, in structed by one ploughman and ono herd; and they are also taught the practical management of a kitchen and fruit garden, of a Inery, conservatory, and flower garden. The habits of cleanliness end regularity, not without taste for a pleasant home and garden, and the knowledge of abest way of effecting every agricultural process, acquired in the nu merous agricultural seminaries by the large number of pupils we have named, must exert a happy influence upon the next generation of Irish farmers; and as far as this head insti- tion of Glasnevin is concerned, the degree of proficiency at • tained by the average scholar, shown in the examination papers, is highly creditable alike to the young mon, to their instructors, and to the Board of National Education. Of course, it is important that a model and instruc tionary farm should pay. At many, but not at all the schools, this is the case ; but the very circumstance of the land being cultivated for other purposes than the simplo business of making a profit operates agaiust the balance • sheet. Thug, some fields must be left wet in order that pupils may learn how to drain; the various operations must bo attended to at only certain hours consistent with the in door duties, aid so on, Munster School-farm, near Cork, under the management of Mr. Cunningham, leaves a handsome balance every year, and is certainly well stocked at the present time. The land (127 acres) is rented of the Duke of Devonshire; it is worked by four or five hired labourers and 12 pupils (though the school has accommodation for 32), the husbandry com bining dairying with tillage, Mangold-wurzel, manured, is followed by wheat ; then comes a stolen crop of vetches for soiling milch cows, succeeded by swede and Aberdeen turnips. Barley is the next crop; then Italian ryegrass and red clover, cut for soiling and top-dressed with guano and liquid manure after each cutting. This artificial grass crop is grazed the next year, and ploughed up for oats. The milk of 29 cows yields butter, chiefly salted in firkins, and partly sold fresh ; eight or ten cows or heifers are fattened off in loose boxes in winter upon mangolds, turnips, straw, and oilcake ; and young breeding sows are sold out of the piggeries. The farmstead is exceedingly well arranged and fitted with every modern requisite. At present there are four horses, 54 cattle, and 14 pigs upon the farm; the va luation (made in March by the inspector and a practical farmer in the neighbourhood) of live stock, farm produce in hand, crops sown, implements, and manures, came to £1,558; and last year the farm yielded a net profit of £194. Ulster School-farm, near Belfast, is in less faveurable circumstances. The land, 109 acres, is a clay, lately taken in a wet and miserably poor condition ; the fences were thrown down, so as to bring the whole into large en closures; draining partly done 4 feet deep and at 8 yards distance, and only part of the farm has yet been brought into good order for 4-course husbandry. There are some fine swedes now growing, a good crop of beans in stock, and a fair crop of oats just harvested. The institution is chiefly for training school-teachers, but has accommoda tion for ten agricultural pupils, there being at present six. Twelve witch cows are kept and some young stock, but the business is, so to speak, an outlay until the poverty and wetnes of the ground have been expensively overcome by draining, manuring, and good tillage. It is unnecessary to enter into details of the age, preli minary examination of candidates for instruction, terms paid, &c. ; but as considerable misapprehension has arisen concerning the state and usdul office of the Irish agricul tural school-farms, we have g;ven a brief notice of those visited in our route. At:Athy, Ki'keruy, Londonderry, and other places are well-conducted satisfactory establish ments, giving sound scientific, and, at the same time, thoroughly practical, ag.lcrltr-al education to many lads and young men; and the youths must be dull and unap preciative indeed if they do not in after-life aim at con forming their own farm;ag to the model st? - .nlard, just so far as the'r circumstanees will permit.

THE GAIN OF GODLINESS.—With that matrimo nial good fortune which very often attends members of the clerical profession, wo aro informed that one of the curates of the most fashionable and effluent parish in Bristol—a gentleman much respected by his congregation and friends —is about to marry an accomplished young heiress, whose family reside in the district, and whose fortune on her mar riage day will be £50,000, with fully twice that sum in re • version.— Western Daily Pri4S. Loss OF THE HENRY CLAY. --On Saturday par ticulars wero received at Lloyd's of the loss of the well known Liverpool and New York lino of packet ship Henry Clay, Capt. Caulking, which took place in a terrific gale on the night of the 29th of Sept., on Laggan Point, near Bow meyno Islay, West Coast of Scotland. She sailed from Liverpool on the 25th, with 41 passengers and a general cargo. The vessel went to pieces on the rocks, and the crew and passengers were with difficulty saved. A JUDGE ON THE MOORS.—The other day Lord Chelmsford and his son, the Hon. Mr. Thesiger, were out shooting with Lord Seafield in the north. Mr. Thesiger shot a roe, of which he was very proud, when his lordship was suddenly missing, damping the joy of his son a little that ho was not thero to congratulate him. Ho was sought for, but in vain. At length, after wandering on the moors for upwards of five hours, he was discovered buried in the heather, whore he assaured his friends he had not slept— appearances being decidedly against him—but that he had been repeating Milton's " Paradise Lost" from beginning to end.—Liverpool Albion. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY.—Another death has resulted from this accident. The signalman, Joseph Cox, whose depositions were taken before the coroner, died yesterday morning at the Univer sity Hospital from the effects of his injuries. He has left a wife, but no family ; she was in the train at the time, and sustained much injury; however, she has recovered, and was with her deceased husband, attending upon him, up to the period of his death. The Commerce _Breton, a paper published at St. Alalo, states that the cod-fishing has been very unproduc tive this year. The most fortunate fishermen have re turned with two-thirds of their usual complement, and others, more unfortunate, with less than one-third. TIIE DONCASTER PRISON BREAKER.--Thomas Hanson, the young man who escaped from the Doncaster Borough Gaol on Thursday, was captured at Sheffield and brought to Doncaster on Saturday afternoon. After he effected his escape he did not attempt to leave the town, but led the police-officers a chase through the by-lanes of the borough on Friday, and eventually escaped. Ho took the last train for Sheffield, and on arriving there a person in the rain who knew him gave him into custody.

The Ariel, 7, screw, had sailed the same day on a cruise. The Penguin, 5, screw, Lieut. M'Hardy, tender to the Narcissus, had arrived at the island in advance of the Narcissus, and was to await her arrival. The Lyra, 9, screw, was also there, but was to sail on the 27th of August for tho Cape, and probably thence on to England. Orders have been at length received at Ports mouth to break up and remove the ruins of the Meteor floating battery from No. 2 dock at that port. The Meteor was placed in this dock on the 10th of November, 1860. She had after wards her armour plates removed from her sides and was opened up for examination, when she was found to be in such a defective state throughout the whole of her frame that it was evident the cost of rebuilding her would greatly exceed any value she could represent when complete. The dock will once again become available for the public service. This dock twill lake in line-of-battle ships of the Princess Royal class. The Warrior, 40, screw, Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., will not make her trial at the measured mile in Stokes Bay at so early a date as was originally determined on—the 10th inst. The exact time has not yet been fixed. A great improve ment has been made in the appearance of the ship's hull, by substituting white, picked out with gold, for the former heavy looking bronze of the figure head, and also the carving on the stern and quarter galleries. Rear-Admiral Charles Eden, C. 8., left the Admiralty, Whitehall, yesterday afternoon for Portsmouth. It is understood that the gallant Ad miral will not return to the Admiralty until after the trial of the Warrior over the measured mile. The Nelson, 90, screw, is ordered into dock at Portsmouth to ascertain the whereabouts of a leak that has been in existence for some time in her bottom. Yesterday a number of additional shipwrights, joiners, and smiths were placed on the Defence, 22, iron frigate, in the the third dock at Chatham, in order that every effort may be made to fit her for sea. Nearly the whole of the hands placed on hoard her have been hired for that purpose, the various vessels now building at Chatham prevent ing any of the shipwrights and artisans being taken off them. During the last few days about 200 extra mechanics have been entered at Chatham, and a number of hands are still required, preference being in all cases given to those workmen who were discharged a few months since, on the reduc tion being made. There is still a great deal of work in the way of fitting to be completed on board the Defence, but, from the energy shown by the dockyard authorities, a few weeks will, it is con dently anticipated, seo her fit to be undocked to re ceive her masts on board. She is to be ventilated after precisely the same system as that adopted on board the Warrior, which has been found to answer so satisfactorily. The President, 51, fitting in the fourth dock at Chatham as a training ship for the London Naval R-serve Volunteers, to be stationed in the * Thames, has had a number of additional hands placed on her, in order that she may be completed during this month, when, according to present arrangements, the Rattlesnake, 21, screw corvette, 400-horse power, will be admitted into the same dock, to be fitted for the steam reserve. A portion of the additional shipwrights and other hired mechanics recently entered at Chatham dockyard will be placed on board the line-of-battle strew steamer Bulwark, 91, which is to be cut asunder and otherwise altered to adapt her for a 51-gun iron-cased frigate as soon as the plans and drawings for the proposed alterations have been finally approved by Admiral Robinson, the Con troller of the Navy. The engines for the Bulwark, which are of 800-horse power, nominal, being nearly completed, will, it is understood, be placed on boara the Royal Oak, 51, iron-plated steamer, at Chatham, which will be ready for them some time before the alterations are effected in the Bulwark. The screw steamsloop Malacca, 17, Capt. Napier, from Sheerness and Portsmouth for the Mediterra nean, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Sunday even- ing. The Norwegian corvette Nornen left Plymouth Sound yesterday for the West Indies. The screw steam-corvette Orestes, 21, at Ply mouth, is ready to leave for the Cape of Good Hope on the arrival of the gunboat Handy, which she escorts to Sierra Leone. The screw steam•gunboat Speedy, 4, Mr. Burney master, went yesterday from Hamoazo into Ply mouth Sound for the purpose of trying her ma chinery. The Java, one of the old 50.g,un frigates, was taken into dock yesterday to have her ballast dis charged, and her copper taken off her bottom before being iron-plated for a target vessel. This precau tion will be the means of preventing much pecula tion which has been found to exist on the ships hitherto removed to Portchester Lake for a similar purpose. The Handy, screw gun-ve.ssel, Lieutenant-Com mander Glover, is now ready for sea. She will go out of harbour to-day. The Cambrian, 40, sailing-:rigate, Commodore James M'Cleverty, C. 8., may be expected at Spit head daily from the East Indies and China. By a letter from her the writer says—" You may look out for us almost as soon as the Chesapeake." The Racoon, screw steam-corvette, Captain W. C. Chamberlain, is hourly expected at Spithead from the Mediterranean. It is anticipated she will be paid off at this port. Orders have been received at Chatham from the Admiralty directing that the whole of the gun-boats in the first division are to be supplied with Arm strong's rifled cannon in lieu of the smooth-bore guns which have up to the present time been in use, and in accordance with that order the Carnation was yesterday brought alongside the ordnance-wharf at Chatham, where she discharged one 68-pounder and one 33-pounder, together with the carriages. She then shipped two new carriages suitable for a 100- pounder and a 40-pounder Armstrong, of which her armament is for the future to consist, and her slides underwent some slight alteration to accommodate the new carriages. None of the vessels are, how ever, to take on board the new guns until they are required for service. We have to announce the death of Admiral G. Le Geyt, which took place recently at St. Helier's, Jersey, at the advanced age of 84. The deceased entered the navy in 1791 as captain's servant, and was subsequently appointed :master's mate of the Prince Edward, in which vessel in 1795 he wit nessed the capture of two French vessels ; in the following year he was present at the capture of a French frigate, and was shortly afterwards nominated acting•lieutenant of the Rover, in which he assisted at the taking of Le Jean Bart privateer. In 1799 he was appointed Second Lieutenant of the Tamar, and was present at the reduction of Surinam and the capture of several French ships. In 1803 he was promoted to the command of the Stork, in which vessel he remained nine years, effecting the capture of several vessels, and subsequently assisting in the blockade,of Mar tinique until its surrender. The deceased admiral obtained post-rank in 1812, and was nominated a Companion of the Bath in 1840. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Wm. G. Douglas, to the Cornwallis, additional for service in the Coastguard; Ramsay Cooke, master to the Asia, for the Stromboli; Joseph Lovering, acting ebief engineer to the Asia, for the Stromboli ; Henry Cook, engineer to the InLus, for the Perseus ; Alexander Bothwick, act ing first-class assist.-engineer, to ths Asia, for the Highlander ; Edward D. Dooley, first-class assist.- engineer, to the Asia, for the Snapper; Charles Allsop, acting second class assist.-engineer, to the Asia, for the Duncan. Mr. Scott, J. B. Willcox, and Mr. J. E. A.

Havelock, son of the Ge neral, has arrived at Aldershott and entered on his duties as Deputy-Assistant -Adjutant-General of the division, in the room of Major Nugent, who has been appointed Assistant-Quartermaster-General in Nova Sc o ti a . Sir Henry Havelock, who entered the army i n 18 46, is in his 33d year. The principal event at Aldershot during the last few days has been the half yearly inspection of the various regiments composing the division. Among the regiments Inspected may be mentioned the 9th Lancers, by Major.-Gen. Lord George Paget; the Royal Engineers ( A troop, 2d company and 9th company), by Col. Simmons and Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. Pennefather ; the Ist battalion, Bth (" The King's") Regiment, the 61st Regiment, and the 2d Battalion, 16th Regiment, by Brigadier-Gen. Brook Taylor ; the 2d Battalion, 20th Regiment, and the 53d ltegi ment, by Brigadier-Gen. Brown ; and the 28th aid 84th Regiments, by Brigadier-Gen. Russell. The inspection of the remaining regiments in camp— viz., the 12th Lancers, the 16th Lancers, the :T(T, 4th, and part of the sth battalions military train, the 78th Highlanders, the 45th Regiment, the Ist Battalion 60th Rifles, kc-, was continued on Satur day and yesterday by Major-Gen. Lord G. Paget (Cavalry Brigade), Brigadier-Gen. Brown (2d In fantry Brigade), and Brigadier-Gen. Russell (3d Infantry Brigade). The regiments inspected have made a creditable appearance. The sergeants of the 78th Highlanders have just celebrated at Aldershott the fourth anniversary of the first relief of Lucknow by the troops under Gen. Havelock in 1857. The healths of Gen. Lord Clyde, Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. Outram, Lieut.-General M'Neill, and other distinguished officers, were drunk with great enthusiasm. The non-commis sioned officers of the Commissariat staff corps have also celebrated the anniversary of the formation of that useful branch of the service. The Government is about to make considerable alterations and additions at the cavalry barracks, Maidstone, to provide increased accommodation for the officers and troops attached to the cavalry depot. The chief of the alterations will include Ihe erection of a new and commodious riding-school, about 160 ft. in length and upwards of 50 in width, at an estimated cost of £3OOO, the contract for which has been taken by Mr. Naylar, Rochester. Addi tional quarters are also to be erected, which will necessitate the removal of several houses abutting on the barracks. The new block of buildings will be constructed of brick, with iron girders, the pre sent barracks being built of wood. 7111 E PRISONERS HELD BY IHE FFTE RAL GOVERNIIENT AT FORT LAFAYETTE. (From the New York Herald.) We have been furnished with the following interesting account of matters at Fort LaLyette by Mr. M. C. Stanley, a recent inmate thereof, who was discharged upon an investigation of his case, which established his entire innocence of the charges brought against him, and exhibited him as a perfectly loyal Union man : " Upon the arrival of the prisoner at Fort Hamilton he is at once delivered into the charge of Colonel Burke, and the document for his com mitment exhibited. The document comes from either the Secretary cf War or Secretary of State, accord ing as the prisoner is one of war or of state. Col. Burke thereupon has the accused ferried across the little channel which flows between Fort Hamilton and Fort Lafayette, and upon his arrival in the latter stronghold he is given into the charge of the commanding officer, Lieut. Wood, who writes out a receipt for his prisoner. After this formula is over he is shown to his quarters, which of late have been the casemates or gun-rooms around the walls of the fort. This economy has bean necessitated by the filling up of the more desirable officers' quar ters by the first arrivals. " Aa soon as the new comer is left to himself he is at once surrounded by his now fellow-prisoners, and plied with questions as to his name, where ho came from, and what are the charges against him, which usually wind up with au expression on the part of the interrogators of doing all they cart to render his stay as agreeable as possible. The conversation continues, and when friendly relations have been established he is very blandly asked what he will have for his dinner or supper, ac cording to the hour at which he arrives. In the same breath they extol the delicious character of beef steak with mushrooms, and broiled chicken or other• savoury dishes, and urge him, some to have the former, others the latter. In a maze of astonish ment at this good treatment of criminals by an offended government he states his choice, or perhaps expresses a wish for a little of several of the dishes mentioned; and the character of the wine then comes up for extolment, and the wags get into quite a dispute among themselves as to the relative qual-- ties of the Burgundy, Port, Madeira, claret, &c., which is given them at dinner. The still further astonished prisoner drinks all this in with con siderable pleasure, and beginning to get over the fright which his arrest and incarceration have pro duced, congratulates himself that a stayat Fort La fayette is a capital thing. But his fond delusion— at least, the one produced by his fellow-prisoners-- soon vanishes when the conversation which by this time has, of course, changed to other subjects, is suddenly interrupted by the signal for dinner or supper, and he is conducted to his seat in the dining room, where, in place of a mahogany table with lustrous white damask cloth, silver service, and richly cut glass ware, all of which his imagination ' had conjured up, he discovers a plain deal table,, unpainted and without a cloth, with a tin plate containing a piece of partially cooked pork, a tin. cup of coffee, and a large chunk of bread. As ho contemplates this in dismay a loud laugh from his fellow-prisoners, who, from the door have been watching his movements, throws a little light on his disordered intellect, and he perceives that he has been the victim of a hoax. This constitutes his installation into Fort Lafayette society, and , he in turn becomes as eager as the rest to 'sell the next new comer. " This is one of the ways in which the inmate manage to while away the time, and, in fact, it has become so popular among them that the an nouncement in the daily papers (which, by the way, they receive every morning regularly before one o'clock) of any arrest at once creates quit e an ex citement, and everything is prepared to thoroughly initiate the expected individual. " Those of the prisoners who have means and friends can pass time in comparative comfort. A_ mess has been established, by permission of the. commanding officer, which is under the control of the ordnance serjeant a ttached :to the post. It numbers about 30, and at a cost of one dollar a. head per diem the table is supplied from market daily with good food of every description, together with such viands and liquors they may choose to purchase extra. The trade is better, in fact, than such as are provided. in second - class hotels at fashionable watering-places. " The sleeping arrangements are also N'ery com fortable. The mattresses, bedding, blankets, and sheets are of good quality, and care is taken to keep them clean. The bedsteads are small iron ones, which are folded up in the daytime, making addi tional room in the somewhat confined quarters. Two hours a day are allowed t o pr i soners for , o b o e r t s w in ee t n he si o x p and en space in th e cen t re " seven o'clock in oe exercise e t r l the s f e o r o t u , t :i f z d . the morning and between five and six o'clock in the evening., In the intervals they are confined in tho rather commodious quarters which are appropriated to officers when the fort is completely garrisoned, where they amuse themselves • playing chess, draughts, backgammon, whist, and the like, read the newspapers, or d' iscusss the events of the day as they reach them through the last-mentioned channel. At nine o'clock every light is extin guished and universal silence prevails until the next dawn awake them to re•enact the same un varied routine. " In case of sickness Mrs. Wood, the lady of the commanding officer, is unremitting through her domestics, in kindness and attention, and has won the esteem of all the inmates for her considerate amiability. " With the water occasionally bad on account of absence of rain, with some defects in the cookingi arrangements, which are not sufficient to d s u P r P e nY the extra quhnity of rations now in demand, a edibility, dering the only partially pre pared for ss their time of the prisoners still manage to pass manne r than a incarceration in a much more t e pant exc eption only of i he is generally believed, with h as they are deemed, who privateers' men, or pirates , lied with Government u're closely confined d not a denied, however, any luxury rations.
