ii....... - NONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCE. The weekly return published by the Bank of England authorities presents some very satisfac tory features, although they were to some extent anticipated. The other securities have considerably diminished in consequence of the easier rates for money in the open market, and the bullion has been increased owing to the late arrivals and the limited demand for exportation to the continent.

The Scottish Australian Investment Company held its half-yearly meeting to-day, Mr. W. H. Dickson in the chair. The report was unanimously carried, and a dividend, payable on the 12th August next, at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, less income-tax, was declared. It was stated that the gross profits realised daring the past six months represented X 15,618, that opportunities were con tinually presented of making fresh investments of capital, and that the Queensland properties had not been subject to the late drought. It has been announced by Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. that they have received from the agents of the Mexican bondholders at Vera Cruz, advices, informing them that there has been placed in deposit with them 12,661 dots. 72c. in cash, and 1,801 dols. 90c. in bills, making in all 14,463 (lola. 62c. in addition to the 106,877 dols. 48c. pre viously advised. In answer to the inquiries of Messrs, Baring Bro thers, addressed on the 20th June last to the Foreign-office, respecting the alleged reduction by the French authorities in Mexico of the import duties to one-half of the rates of the tariff, the following has been received:—" As regards the reduction of 50 per cent. on the import duties on goods introduced through Vera Cruz, and des tined to be forwarded to the interior through the French lines, the French Government claim the right to make such a reduction, as one which appertains to the position they hold in Mexico, and they state that, as the object of the reduction is to draw trade to Vera Cruz, and thereby increase the duties at that port, the measure Will benefit the parties to the conventions, as well as the French intere,ts."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE BARROW NUISANCE IN COVENTRY-STREET. — John Parkinson, a costermouger living in Newton street, Et!born, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk, causing an obstruction with his barrow, a verplarge one, in Coventry-street, and also with assaulting police constables Macdonald, 322 A, and William Duff, 138 C. It may be stat d that the inhabitants complain loudly of the nuisance caused by men with fruit barrows creeping slowly along the street, some of the barrows being of a very large size. Macdonald said that at a quarter past 5 in the previous afternoon he saw the prisoner's barrow outside a public house in Coventry-street,the prisoner being inside the house. He told the prisoner to move his barrow away, and he moved it a few yards, and then went into the house again. He told the prisoner a second time that if he did not take the barrow away he should take him to the station, upon which the prisoner said, "I'll give you something," and immediately struck him, and they both fell together. The prisoner then behaved with great violence, and another coming to his assistance the prisoner struck him also, and it req zired six c f them to get him to the sta ion. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable said the pri soner was not sober, and that the barrow contained fruit. Duff, 128 C, deposed to going to the assistance of Mac donald, and being struck twice by the prisoner, who was very ♦iolent. Prisoner—Look at my clothes (at the same time half undressing himself.) Mr. Tyrwhitt said if a drunken man was violent and had weak clothes he must expect to get them torn. Prisoner—All I have got to say to your worthy worship is that I get my living honestly. A. person gave the prisoner a good character for honesty, and said he was a very hard working man. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 2s. 6d. or seven days. Prisoner—Well, I've only got coppers, y}ur worthy worship : will you take them ? The prisoner, who, though having bad a good character given him, is evidently from his conduit in court a very troublesome fellow, was then removed. COMMITTAL POR ROBBING FURNISHED LODGINGS.— John Salmon and Rose Cochrane, the former of whom, it is stated, has deserted his wife and child, and left them chargeable upon the parish of Stroke-upon-Trent; and the latter to have left her husband, after robbing her father, a shipowner, to live with the male prisoner, her real name being either Davis or Davidson, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing sheets and other articles from their ready furnished lodgings at the house of Mrs. Christiana Denny, 59, High-street, Bloomsbury, were brought up for final examination. Mr. Knight, from the office of Mr. Thomas Beard, pro. secuted. Police constable John Head, 89 E, proved taking the pri soner into custody, and finding on the female several dupli cates relating to the stolen property, which was identified by the prosecutrix's daughter. The female prisoner said the man knew nothing about the things, and had not had any of the money, and the male prisoner said that he was not guilty. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed them both for trial, attendance, finished the race home, Lord Strathmore's filly who appeared full of running, winning very easily by a length. A bad third, close up with whom were Kingswood and Despair, DECISION ON THE " TOMATO CASE." The f , Rowing decision on this case appeared in the Racing Calendar, published yesterday afternoon : " The backers of Tomato win; the backers of all the other starters in the Fernhill Stakes ed lose.

THE FALL OF VICKSBURG, The reduction of Vicksburg is a consummation to which the enemy have addressed exertions bat little, if L ny, less than those they have put forth for the capture of Richmond. They have regarded that city as the key to the commercial use of the Mississippi, and by the full command of the river they expect so completely to isolate the great trans- Mississippi country as to render its subjugation easy and its return to the Union certain. It is now to be tested to what extent these expectations have been well founded. In regard to the first, the com mercial use of the river—which has been the object for which the great States of the North-West have been putting forth such tremendous efforts—we do not see bow it is possible for them to enjoy it. For a distance of at least 2,000 miles the Missis sippi flows through a country hostile to the Yankee rase and Government. Anywhere along the whole distance steamboats would be in reach of cannot— generally in reach of the rifle—from either shore. It is not possible for the enemy to maintain such a guard of the river as to prevent batteries of flying artillery from either shore, and sharpshooters, at all advantageous points, playing upon the vulner able vessels with fatal effect, and picking off pilots and officers whenever they venture to show them selves. Commerce is not quite venturesome enough to run such a gauntlet as that. The people of the North-West will find their hopes deceived. They will discover that the promises of Lincoln have be. n fallacious, and that their great ex• penditure of life and means has been all in vain. And in this disappointment will come a reaction, under the sobering influence of which they may be able to discover that peace is the only policy by which they can win back what they so madly threw aszsv. As to the second calculation—that by bisecting :.he Confederacy, and cutting off the coun try west of t;;9 Mississippi from communication with the east, they is:,ay easily overrun it—there is as little or less reason for it,: indulgence. The enemy have, in fact, already held, for' some months now, military possession of the entire r iver, except the half-dozen miles covered by the batteries' at Vicks burg and Port Hudson. Communication is? r the passage of troops, ammunition, and supplies tr:' tween the two sides has been completely cut off. The Confederacy has between, in a military sense, cut in twain. Yet there has been no abatement, but an increase rather in military operations on the other side. The fact is, the keeping open of the communication was more important to us than to them, for while they drew from us only arms and ammunition, we drew from them men and supplies. They will now keep the latter at home, and may readily obtain the former from or through Mexico. They have cotton enough to pay for all the purchases they may require. It will only be necessary to change their base from the Mississippi to the Rio Grande to place them in as good a condition for defensive war as any people ever were. They have a territory too extensive to be overrun, supplies too abundant to be exhausted, a population too brave to be subdued, and generals, with one notable exception (the highest in com mand) too skilful, vigilant, and energetic to be out generaled. There is nothing , t hen, to fear fordthaes trans• Mississippi. What i s most to be fear.e the immediate result of the fall of Vicksburg is h ts organise stationary into a moving force. From the work of conversion of the great army under G.rant frona a tion, almost, it has been confined ttoa the Govern where. This is the evil against whe m ost energetic taking that city. It is now freehich ment is now called to make t imagine in what difficult to preparation. It is not to estimate the effect direction Grant will move, or 0 , upon the field, with operate else side.

ROBBERY BY A SERVANT. --11 rtha Landon, a servant girl, was charged with stealing five shirt , , a pair of men's trousers, two silk handkerchiefs, and other property belong ing to her master, Mr. Alexander Abrahams, of No. 93, Ratcliff Highway. The prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Abrahams for a week, and in the course of that time he had missed various articles from his shop. Having reason to suspect the prisoner he called in a police sergeant named Dillon, No. 19 K, who taxed the prisoner with having robbed her master, and she immediately admitted that she had done so, and delivered to him pawnbrokers' tickets relating to the stolen property. The property was produced and identified, and the pri sonee was sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment with hard labour. .`,OUR GRAPES.—Thomas Al‘Gae, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing a blue guernsey shirt, the property of Peter Wilson, the cook of the ship Hydra. The prosecutor had washed his guernsey and put it away wet in a basket. Tne prisoner came on board, coolly took the shirt out of the basket, and walked away with it. He was seen by a dock officer named Adams with the wet shirt round his body. On the prisoner being asked why he wore the shirt in that manner, he said he came from Liverpool, that he was covered with vermin, and washed his shirt, and put it round his bady, outside his clothes to dry it. (A 1 augh.) The prisoner, in defenoe, said the guernsey shirt was not worth a farthing, and was in the state he represented to the officer. _ _ _ Mr. Partridge begged of Martin, the usher of the court, not to be holding up the shirt and pulling it about. He did not want anything to reach the bench of a parasitical character. (A laugh.) Martin—The shirt is a good one, and quite clean. The prisoner—lt's full of 'em—you can't see them. (Laughter.) Wilson said the blue shirt was worth 10s., and denied that he was ever a dirty man. Mr. Partridge—This is like the cry of sour grapes. The prisoner is sentenced to twenty-one days' imprisonment and hard labour. WESTMIN -TER. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF FELONY. —Mary Jane Hodges, a very respectable looking young woman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with stealing a box containing upwards of £7. Mr. John Robert Parr, coatmaker, 16, Montpelier-street, Brompton, said—Prisoner was formerly a servant of mine, and 1 discharged her for dishonesty, and I now charge her with entering my d welling•house and stealing £7 3s. The back of my house very much exposed, and my bedroom has been entered without my knowing it while I was serving in the shop, and I have been robbed. Mr. Arnold—When did you miss the property? Prosecutor—lt was safe on the 28th of last month, and next morning we missed it. Mr. Arnold—Why have you charged the prisoner ? Prosecutor —Knowing her formerly for pilfering, and no other person could get over the wall and take this box. Mr. At nold—l 4 that your reason for charging her? Prosecutor —Yes. bile was the only person who could get over the wall and enter the room and sort out this par. titular box and take it away. Mr. Arnold—Have you another servant? Prosecutor--Yes. One came these last two days. Mr. Arneld—ls there any evidence against this young woman? Policeman—There was a young girl identified her last night, she thought, by her voice. have had servants before Mr. Arnold—Mr. Parr , y ou and servants since the prisoner, I suppose. Prosecutor—Yes. Mr. Arnold—Then they could have committed the rob bery as well as the prisoner ? Mary Parr, wife of the prosecutor—l saw the box safe at half-past six on the 28th. We went about 11 to bed, and at half-past Bon the following morning it was gone. Ernest Williams, a boy, said he saw a woman get over a wall at the back of the prosecutor's house. He heard her say she had come down these for the nearest way. Mr. Arnold—Do you know who it was. Witness—No. I never say her face, she had her back the other way. Mr. Arnold—ls there any further evidence. Policeman—No. There was a woman last night who said she fancied the prisoner's face was the same she had seen, but could not identify her. Mr. Arnold—There is not the slightest pretence for charging the woman that I can see. The prosecutor has acted very hastily in giving her in charge, and if the pri soner is properly advised she will bring an action against him for the false imprisonment. A woman from the body of the court, upon this, stood forward and said that she had seen a person with a box. The woman, who gave the name of Margaret Thompson was sworn, and said she saw a woman at prosecutot's door with a boa on the night of the robbery. She was closely veiled, but p r i soner ' s face resem b le d t h e v.-omen's, and so her appearance. On her oath she believed her to be the person. Mr. Arnold —I shall remand the prisoner till Tuesday, but I will take one bail in £lO. It having been communicated by the police that the woman Thompson had last night declared she believed pri soner was not the person, Mr. Arnold directed the accused to be be discharged, on entering into her own recognisances. Discharged accordingly. SHIPPING —This Day. LONDON, July 31.—Wind this day at noon—East; light breeze, and fine weather. FALMOUTH, July 31—Wind S.W.—Arrived—Willie, from Rangoon.

The great festival of the South Downs has been shorn of none of its attributes this year. First and forem st, the weather has been everything that could be wished, a trifling matter of dust alone excepted To the racing man the con test for the Cup—the meeting of Buckstone and La Toucques —was, of course, the event regarded with the keenest inte rest, and great has been the discussion as to the merits and chances of the respective horses. By the general public Goodwood has not yet been invaded, nor is it at all likely that it ever will be. It still retains its proud position as the most aristocratic of meetings, the t'uth of which assertion one glance at the Stand and Lawn this morning would have confirmed. The trains from town, Brighton, Bognor, and Worthing were full to overflowing. Carriage after carriage continued to set down their occupants at the entrance to the Stand, and by 2 o'clock the lawn presented a very brilliant appear ance. Still, it struck us that we had seen greater numbers in former years. There was no great crowding at any point. The dust had been master of the situation from Drayton station, interfering sadly with Cup Day dresses and gar ments, and reducing all to one uniform hue. And now began the excitement on the great race of the day, threatening to cast all others into the shade. Buck stone's name was yelled forth discordantly in every variety of note, mingled with Isoline and the French mare, sad liberties being occasionally taken with her name. The four events previous to the Cup excited but little in terest. Indeed, the sport was not of a character to com mand it, the only two semb/ances of a race being that for the thirteen Bentinck Memorial, which resulted in the victory of Lady Hylda, the favourite Goldylocks, through a small ebullition of temper, throwing away her chance, and a keen contest between Lord Stamford's (Enopides and Mr. Merry's Wasp gelding for the Racing Stakes, decided in favour of the latter by a head. At the appointed hour the course was cleared, and Mr. M'George led the seven, who came to the post to contend for the grand prize, in Indian file past the stand. rhe lot looked beautiful, and were all in blooming condition. As they walked steadily past Buckstone led the van, end to the last moment his partisans were staunch in their adherence to him. Against La 'renegues an extraordinary hostile 'trotter - neat set in in the morning, and continued throughout the after noon, inasmuch as from 2to 1 she receded to 10 to 1. It • is satisfactory to think there were no grounds for these operations, as she ran a game mare from end to end, and in the final struggle was only defeated by a neck by the mare who was placed third for the Oaks. Buckstone ran stoutly under the weight, and succumbed exactly at the same place where Thormanby came to grief two years back. Mr. Naylor's purchase of Isoline has proven to be most judi cious, and after having won the Two Thousand and the Derby with the sat: e horse, his good fortune has not been rivalled of late years. The Molerzomb was, without excep tion the heaviest betting race of the week, as it brought together File de l'Air, the winner of the Woodcote, and Seot tish Chief, the winner of the New Stakes at Ascot and the Chesterfield at Newmarket. Both were at the same price ; but the French filly had the best of the encounter from end to end, and won in a canter by two lengths. The Chichester Stakes, won after a good race by Bohemia beat lug Lady Clitden easily, brought the Cup day to a very agreeable conclusion , We must not omit to mention that the Cup is a very spirite Ily executed piece of pb,te, from a design of Mr. Spencer, representing The Bruce attacked by Highlanders in a mountain pass. It is from the atelier of the Messrs. Garrard. Sweepstakes of 50 soya each, h ft, for 3-yr-olds; colts Bst 71b, fillies Bst 21b. Mile and a half. 11 subs. Mr. R. C.

Lady Hylda, having the best of the start, jumped away with a clear lead, with Rigolboche, La Belle Feronniere, and the favourite, in attendance to the rails, when the latter exhibited temper, and was left in the rear. Lady Hylda re tained her lead to the end, and won cleverly by half a length, three lengths between the second and third ; a bad fourth.

At 3 15 precisely the flag was lowered to an excellent start, Mezagau was the first off, and made play at fi steady pace, followed in a body by Fairwater on his right, with Isoline next the rails and Myrtle next; the n came Buck stone in company with La ToueqUee, Rountihlg the turn Myrtle ran pact her horses and took the second place, Leoline going on third, Fairwater, with Zetland at her side, lying two or three lengths in their rear, Bucketone and the French representative still retaining their rearward positions; but as they neared the far turn they somewhat spread, and on reappearing in sight Mazagan had considerably improved his lead, and when fairly on the hill Isoline headed Myrtle, and came on in attendance upon the leader, followed in a few strides by Fairwater. Halfway up, the hopes of Myrtle's backers were extinguished by her rapidly dropping into the rear, followed as they neared the brow of the hill by Zetland. Buckstone and La Toucques at tilt same time improved tl eir positions, and as they rounded the turn for home the lot got upon closer terms, Isoline, with a clear lead, having Fairwater and La Toucques on her left, and the favourite Best the rails, close up. They ran thus to the dis tance, where Buckstone was beaten, and shortly after Fair water gave way to La Toucques, who came on in waiting to the enclosure, where she got her head in front, add ap peared to have the best of it, but Isoline, coming again and running tho longest, won in the last stride by a neck, Fair water was a bad a third; Buckstone was fourth, Zetland fifth ; Myrtle sixth, and Mazagan last, the latter being pulled up and trotting a long way in their rear.

We have seldom a real tragedy in this city, and hence the sensation is greater when one occurs, such as the suicide the news of which appalled the public yesterclay A few minutes before 11 o'clock a gen tleman about 35 years of age went into the shooting gallery of Mr. Rigby, Suffolk-street, and told the persons in attendance that he wanted some practice in shooting. At his request a pistol was loaded for him. But instead of firing at the target he put the pistol to his forehead and blew his breins out. Death was instantaneous. From papers found on his person, it was ascertained that the name of the deceased was William Adis Fey —that he was an ex-serolar of the Dublin University, that his ern , ployment was preparing pupils for entering Trinity College, and 'that he had resided for the last two years at a hotel in Abbey-street. The icquest will be held to-morrow; when come light may be thre \.l n on the causes which impelled the wretched man to destroy himself. The extraordinary case of the Mayor of Belfast against Rea is st ill proceeding. Mr. Rea is conduct ing his own defence, and in doing so he travels over such a wide field, and brings in so many public characters, for the purpose of assailing them, and is so ready to make a speech upon every point, that tho whole thing seems interminable, while it is un intelligible out of Belfast. Yesterday the Judge felt bound to interpose. Mr. Rea said he would att.ck gentlemen who had occupied the office of Attorney General and Salicitor-General : His Lordship—l am sure that threat comes from a very high quarter, Mr. Rea—l am sure it does not come from a very high, but from a resolute quarter, and I am sure your lordship will be the last man to protect Sir H. Cairns. To Witness—Had you an interview with Mr. Whiteside ? Mr. Brewster—l really must stop this. His Lordship—lf Mr. Brewster chooses to allow this to go on— Mr. Brewster—Two or three times I have mentioned it to your lordship. His Lordship—This is becoming a nuisance. (Applause, which was at once suppressed.) Mr. Rea—lt may be, my lord. It is very inconvenient to have the acts of prominent law officers inquired into. I hope you see the lodges approve of your lordship's observe- tion. His Lordship---If it be repeated I will have the Cour house cleared. Mr. Rea—This is the result of issuing tickets. His Lordship—You were speaking Co me on a point of law. I will be very happy to hear you upon a point of law at any time, or any length, but I will not allow the oppor tunity of speeches on a point of law to be made an oppor tunity for disseminating calumnies and slanders against in dividuals who cannot be heard speaking for themselves. I allowed you to go on to an extent I think almost unexam pled, and for which I confess I have now, by reason of what I have experienced, had much reason to regret ; but when I see that, in despite of my warning yesterday, you have p r sisted in making your observations only the vehicle of calumny and slander against absent men, I must positively prohibit proceeding with that, and Ido prohibit it. I give you the utmost licence for testing the credit of the wit nesses, and for extracting all the truth from the witness with respect to the matters in is , ,ue in this case; but, as I have said before, the purpose of this trial and the adminis tration of public justice shall not be made the vehicle of private slander. Mr Rea—ln what appears, my lord, to you-- His Lordship—l will hear no reply. Mr. Rea --My lord, I am entitled to get the acts of this witness. His Lordship—You are; but it will not be by letting public justice be prostituted for any such purpose. Mr. Rea—l am at a loss to know upon what authority you make that charge. His Lordship---You have sworn that this trial shall be made the opportunity for venting certain matters not now before me, and I shall take care that it shall not be. Mr. Rea—Does your lordship rule. His Lordship—l rule that. Cross-examine the witness. Get from him everthing relating to the matter in question. I will not let this inquiry about political matters, or this bill, or this Chancery suit, or whatever you choose to call it be proceeded with here. After some further cross-examination. of Mr. Lytle his lordship said— lam going to make a ruling. I havelistened for the last half-hour, during which you did not ask a single relevant question, and I therefore discharge the witness from further attendance. Mr. Rea—l wish your lordship would discharge me also I most respectfully protest against the witness being dis charged from further attendance. His Lordship—Protest as you please. He is discharged for the present occasion. Mr. Rae—l must request the witness to attend for cross-examination to-morrow, and if he does not I will ap ply to the Queen's Bench to attach him. His Lordship—lf you hav e anything relevant to ask him he will be here, but I have no notion that public justice shall be insulted ae it has been lately. Mr. Rea—l will purs ue my e xamination of Mr. Lytle in the morning, with your lordship's permission, and I hope he will be hear. If my later questions were not relevant with regard to the conversations with Thompson, I don't know what would be relevant. Yesterday the case was resumed. Mr. Rea did not insist on having the Mayor in the witness-box again. Others were examined, and he than com menced his address to the jury, which will probably oc cupy the whole of t his day, after which he will be likely to produce a large number of witnesses. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mine pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per .£1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of ,E 3 17s. lOicL per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterlin,g. ~tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on London in still in a very flue uating state, the latest quotation of the exchange being about 144 per cent., and the premium on gold is about Sli per cent. Some gold has been received by the last packets. SINGULAR CASE.—MR. AND MRS. AUSTIN.—Jas. Gorman, draper, Coronation-street, Leeds, appeared on remand at the Leeeds Town Hall on Wednesday, charged with felony and conspiracy. Mr. Fearns appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Middleton (barrister) for the defence. The prosecutor was Mr. Austin, tobacconist, Wade-lane, who a few weeks ago charged his wife with stealing two £5O notes which had been sent te him by pmt. The case is a very singular one, and excited much attention, the court being crowded with spectators. In his opening statement Mr. Fearns said he should prove that the taking of Ch er got £5O notes was suggested by the prisoner,that then risonefr gal% possession of the notes, that the sympathetic pinder by an prosecutor by his wife was suggested by Gorman, thittitiatyor.a, a : rangement between Gorman and Mrs. Austinnad de i I rained witn, , ss was taken from Leeds into Lancashire 'Court could not there for five weeks, in order that the belonging to avail theruse!ves of the eitidetice, and that after the prisoner had distinctly stated that there Mr. and Mrs. Austin in his Ws: .tc., the property of : . s g tle,ove boxes, scent case, album, jugs, chimney piece ornanll o4 , ortor Hunt.

Austin said There's £lOO yonder."—And what did Gorman say in reply? He said "You are a --- fool ifl you dont take it." —Did this man Gorman say anything further to her? Not then. She said "I will take it," and he said "Take it now." She said " I know when he comes, and I will take it before he does come."—Did Gorman on her saving so promise her anything ? He said "If you will take it I will see that you are righted."—Were the notes then at Austin's house? Yes. When she returned with the notes she said " I've got the hundred quid; will you take it ?" and Gor man said " Oh, yes, I will, and he took the money.—At this point Mr. Middleton contended that there could be no conspiracy on the part of Mrs. Austin. There might have been improper conduct, but that did not strike at the root of her duties and privileges as a wife. After some discus• Eon Mr. Fearns said that if he could not proceed for con spiracy he would charge the prisoner with felony, and the case was then adjourned till 'Thursday to allow time for the depositions to be taken.

Wicklow ll GAOL DISCIPLINE IN ENGLAND, The report of the select committee of the House of Lords, together with the minutes of evidence on gaol discipline, forming a blue book of 512 pages, has just been published. The present state of dis cipline in the gaols and houses of correction is dis cussed at considerable length, and the conclusion arrived at by the committee is, that it is desirable to establish without delay a system approaching as nearly as may be practicable to a uniformity of labour,diet, and treatment ; end that whilst indus trial occupation should in certain stages form a part of prison discipline, the more strictly penal element of that discipline is the chief means of exercising a deterrent influence, and therefore ought not be weakened, as it has been in some gaols, still less to he entirely withdrawn. Association or a mixed system of association and separa tion, prevails in many gaols. Such anomalies, how ever, are, in the opinion of the committee, very ob jectionable. They should be removed at the earliest practicable time; and their present existence can only be justified by the difficulties of reconstruction and the natural reluctance of the local authorities to incur a heavy expenditure. Referring to the course of legislation, now extending over many years, and to the opinion 3f the highest authorities, the committee consider that the system generally known as the separate system must now be accepted as the foundation of prison discipline, and that its rigid maintenance is a vital principle in the efficiency of county and borough gaols; and they recommend that legislative measures should be taken to render the adoption of separation obligatory upon all gaols and houses of correction in England and Wales; in short, that it should be made to pervade the entire system of the prison. There are also many cases, the committee urge, in which it would be possible to substitute the shorter terms of three and seven days' solitary coufnement on bread and water for the present sentences, rang ing from seven to twenty-one requires days,withha a r n d au thoritativela la bour, a term wh ich the y consider Pearinion that the liament. The c ommittee furtherdefi ndefinition express °n by Actof their opinion as is commonly asserted ; they recommend trea d w heel and cran k do not demoralise the pri soner, less exempted b y medical that every prisone r sentenced to hard e l n ab g o r u e r u , n s d h s al o l i 1113 authority throe, and less than eight hours per day the r . health, be employed at the treadwhefielsotr crank not drin g the ; n and, onsilailbe n t three e e less thanmonths of s i t 2c h e h fi o r u s r t s y year of imprisonmenta allow ance, that all gaols an as a condition of the rdecheei p u ate of o t f c Treasurye recti nu mber of male prisoners chinery for the average. provided with a sufficient supply of hard labour ma ,arwhileda tadmittingthe e effect e et p t r h o a d t u the d respect to sentenced to such punishmen t. With with advantage be modified, they present scale may prisoners, and the necessity of the question of prisoisdri:gt by CODfltletne the certain ingredients infood, further investiga tionare of opinionntthuapto,n • E; needed ; and, under these circumstances, the committee recommend that a commission be appointed toinquire into these questions with authority to determine by experiment the points referred to them. During short sentences, or the earlier stages of a long confinement, the prisoner should be made to dispense with the use of a mat tress, and should sleep upon planks, as is the case in military prisons. The usual period of 9 to 10 hours devoted to sleep the committee think exceeds the fair allowance due to health, and is in jurious both to the prisoners andto the prison dis cipline. They would, therefore, limit the time which the prisoners are allowed in bed to eight hours. A portion of the eveni • ng, after the labour of the day, might be devoted to school instruction'; but under no circumstances should the school become a substitute for labour. In reference to prison punishments, the committee state that " the wost experienced witnesses are unanimous as to the Wholesome influence of some, ii2deed, have stated that they have never known it ineffective : and the committee wish to record their opinion of its great value as one form of disciplinary correction." In con clusion, the committee recommend that power should be given, in cures where the borough gaol is too limited to admit of satisfactory arrangements, to the corporation or governing body, to contract with the county gao' upon such terms as the Secre tary of State shall approve ; and, further, that these borough gaols which are not required for purposes of present or future utility should be scheduled in a bill for entire abolition.- WM' NAPOLEON 111. MA' PREFER PEAcE. — According to the Saturday Review's polite way of putting it, the Empress is what the French call devout (I) and he (i.e. the Emperor) himself has now adopted the habits of a good Catholic, and if he is like common mortals, it may seem to him a simpler thing to quarrel with Russia and Prussia than to let his wife have a grief against him. Then, again, he has other pursuits which may easily make the overwhelming anxiety of war distasteful to him. lie is abslrbed in his life of Ca3sar, and although at first it seems absurd to suppo;se that the ruler of France can lose his care for politics in the thirst for literary fare, yet the thirst is sometimes, it Must be allowed, very strong and the Emperor has just the mind to love not only the fame, but the passive absorption of the scholar.
