Criminals in Eng land were frequently rendered worse by intercourse with one another in the hulks and prisons. In America, they were confined at nights in separate solitary cells, and brought out in the morning to work in silence, and ender vigilant superintendence during the day. Many useful hints on these topics might be taken from the work of Captain: Basil Hall on Aroerie,a."—Debate in the House of Commons, 2lst May, 1830.

The Judges, after having attended Divine Service at . the Cathedral this morning, proceeded to the County-hall, at the Csstle, and, immediately entered upon the business of the Assizes. Mr. Baron Bob. LAND presided in the Crown Court, and addressed the Grand Jury in a . charge remarkable for neatness, facility, and perspicuity. Two or three bills for common offences were found and disposed of, but neither.of the eases wag in any degree interesting to the public. VAIN V. WEAK. This action was brought to recover. compensation in damages for slanderous words spoken by the-de fendant to the plaintiff.. It appeared by the evidence that the parties bad met, in company with a great many other persons, in the month of March last, at a public-house in Southampton, upon WhiCh occasion' the defendant, whO is' a carter, addressed the plain-. tiff, who is a brickmaker, in these words—" You are a rogue and a Villain, and whoever has any deal = ings with you will certainly be deceived." - The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, one • farthing.

This was an action" to - recover rents alleged to be due, on account of the possession of certain cottages. The object of the action was to settle to whom the cottages in question belonged, and was brought by an uncle against his nephew (the defendant), who claimed the cottages as his. No 'witnesses appeared for the defendant, and the Jury, without hesitation, found fur the plaintiff. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.-13UCKINGHAK. JULY 10. Mr: Justice LITTLEDALE and Mr. J ust i ce . 3 . PARKE having arrived in this town yesterd a y after noon, proceeded to open the commission with the established ceremonies; and this morning, after at tending divine service, the former learned Judge took his seat in the Crown Court, the latter in the Nisi Prius, The town is thronged with people of all ranks from the neighbouring villages, who are all anxiety to hear the trial, of Byrne, who is charged with the death of McKay, in a late prize-fight, near this place. It is rumoured that Cribb and the other parties said to be implicated in the affair, will sur render to take their trial in the event of the Grand Jury returning a true bill against them. The calendar contains is case of much novelty—three young men, labourers' in husbandry, are charged with having feloniouily administeted Spanish flies (eantharides) in beer to a young woman (sister to one of the Pri soners) at a country feast, by , which she died. It is not supposed that they had any intention of in juring the girl, but that the drug was given under the influence of a vulgar notion which prevails re- specting it. In the Civil Court the following was the only case of interest. IVIHTTAUORE V. WATERHOUSE AND moms. Mr..Serjeant STORKS stated the plaintiff's case, who is . a small carrier at Wilatead. The defendants (14 of: them) were the wellAnown proprietors of many of the coaches travelling from London to all parts of the country; the 15th defendant was their coachman. It happened that on the-22d of June in the last year, the plaintiff was at Newport fair, where he went to sell his horse; end while there he passed up the principal street in Newport, where be met the defendants" coach coming at a rapid pace. - On each side of the street there were stalls erected, but ample room was left for the free passage of the coach. When the plaintiff came alongside the coach, there was not sufficient space left for the horse to pass between it and the stalls on his side, and before the plaintiff could get out of the way he and his horse were violently thrown to the ground, his arm broken 'in two places, and his face severely cut. By a wholesome statute toachMen were obliged to load their coaches only to a certain height, and, in order to evade its provisions ? they Isere in the habit Of loading their vehicles ,in'the most improper mariner at the aides. The coach in question was thus laden, and this, with the rapid pace at which it was driven, and its being on the wrong side of the road,-was the cause of the present unfortunate accident. The plaintiff's arm was at this moment stiff, and he would probably remain a cripple to the end of his life. Mr. KELLY, for the defendants, said, the evi dence he should lay before them would show that the accident was occasioned solely by the plaintiff's own horse shying just at the moment when he was passing the coach, by which he was thrown for ward, and the unfortunate accident occurred. Several witnesses were. then called, who proved that at the time when the plaintiff was passing the coach there was abundance of .room for his brie to have passed between it and the stills, but that a sheet or blanket which coVered -- one - of the stalls, , f flocked" near his horse's heed, '‘i;hich caused him to "sidle" (swerve) and come in contact with the coach, 'and so the accident. Occurred., The coachman was driving sloWly, rani on his own, side. The Jury returned it verdict for the defendante. The solicitor for the defendants (Mr. Leigh) then observed, that his clients were sincerely concerned for the situation of the plaintiff, although the &ed., The Judges of Assize arrived here yesterday af ternoon,-and opened the Commission. Mr. Serpent D'aVr.,Er attended for the Lord Chief Baron, who was detained in town by indisposition. Their Lord ships went to church this morning, and commenced the business of the Assizes at about twelve o'clock.' The calendar contained the, names of twenty-five prisoners, but with the exception (Ara case of arson, which has not yet been wed, the offences with which they were charged were of an ordinary clie racier. The indictments were all disposed of to day, exept three or four. On the civil side the business was lighter still. Five causes were entered, two of which were undefended, and one withdrawn. The latter, which was a breach of prornisi`Of mat tinge, had,,been looked forward to us the source of "no sited - I - share of entertainment to the auditory% both the parties having arrived at what is termed middle age, and having made love to each other under circumstances calculated to excite merriment to persons not interested in the result of the trial, to whom the withdrawal of the record therefore (in consequence of a coinpromise) was the occasion of considerable disappointment. The only other cause worth notice was that of PRICE V. gIIVERNE, This was an action for' 'tithe . itnprisonment. Mr. Serjeant ADAMS and Mr. PENNINGTON conducted the plaintiff's case; and Mr. Serjeant GOVLIItiRN and Mr. Amos.thcde(ence. • The plaintiff, who is clerk to an attorney, con ceiving he had some Claith for pecimiary assistance on Mrs. Ingram, the defendant's aunt, in conse quence of an illegitimate connection with one of the male branches of the family, applied at her house, at which the defendant, who was formerly High Sheriff of this county, was residing. Mrs. Ingrain refused to see him ; and the. plaintiff having continued hi 4 importunities for four dap, the plaintiff sent a con stable after him, who arrested him at his lodgings, and put a handcuff upon him. He alao, by the, de fendant's directions, detained him. in custody all night. The plaintiff, however, subsequently con sented to take two guineas, and n half-crown, in sa tisfaction of the injury of which he complained ; but notwithstanding, his having received that sum, he now broUght the present action. • The Jury returned a . verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 1001. Tile verdict excited very considerable surprise it) the Court.: INTERESTING PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. REPORT FROM SELECT COMMITTEE ON MA NUFACTURERS' EMPLOYMENT. The Select Committee appointed to consider the Means of lessening the Evils arising from the fluctuation of Ent ployment in Manufacturing Districts, and to report Observations thereupon to the House, have considered the Matters to them referred, and have agreed to the following Report:— . Your Committee think that from:the Report here presented, the following points may be deduced :- 11t:"Thitt corisidirahle fluctuations in Empleyment fre quently take place in Manuftwuring Districts, productive of great distress. •. 2d, That the Earnings of Workmen in many of these an: districts are, on. an average of several years, sufficient (if duly husbanded) to provide for the periods when they are deprived of work. 3d. That considerable facilities and inducements for this purpose by the' Plan re oabstract That facilities be afforded by law (as to Benefit Clubs) for the formation of Societies supported by em rtelle may o e which or d t e h d e following o w w o h r t kg n irsen the voluntary contributions of workmen, and con fined to the especial purpose of support during want of work ; that each member's contributions stand •in his name, and he have a right to allowance when unemployed (at a certain rate) to the amount of his share of the fund; that an annual dividend of in terest, forfeits, and deductions on deaths, be made in proportion to each member's share. Your Committee are well aware of the difficulty and importance of the subject they are about to dis cuss, and hope for the indulgent consideration of the House towards the propositions they have ventured to bring forward. Your Committee have not thought it necessary to inquire minutely into the amount of distress con sequent on fluctuations of employment in manu facturing districts; the evils arising from this cause among a very numerous and valuable class of work men, appear to be:generally acknowledged, and the . severe suffering thence resulting seems well worthy the attention of the Legislature. In order to arrive at n more satisfactory conclu sion, your Committee have thought it right lit, To consider briefly the causes of these fluctuations of employment. 2d. The best plan for diminishing the injurious effects of each fluctuations. 3d. The objections which may be urged against these propositions.. • Before entering on a short consideration of some of the causes of these fluctuations in employment, your Committee beg to remark, that the number, wealth, and importance, of those engaged in manu factures and trade, have greatly increased within the last half century. It appears by the Population Returns, that in 1801 the number of persons en. gaged in trade and manufactures in England, as compared with those occupied in agricultural pur suitsovas as six to five. In 1821 it had amounted to eight to five; and now probably is little less than two to one. In Scotland the change has been still greater, having risen . from live to six in 1801; to nine to five in 1821; and 1101 V must be estimated in nearly two to one; as in England. Whilst the rates of increase in the general population of th e ki ng d om (as shown by the Returns from 1801 to 1821) have been about 30 per cent., the increase in the po pulation, during the same period, of our largest ma nufacturing towns has been upwards of 50 per cent. Manchester ..... . • Leeds 54 par Cent. Coventry 46 per cent. Liverpool. .50 per vent. Glasgow ..... ...100 per centss Your Committee beg to remark, that the increase in numbers of those engaged in trade and manufac tures, is by no means to be considered as the only criterion of their importance in the community; in asmuch that from the numerous improvement. in machinery (especially the steam-engine), and in modes of economizing and improving the effect of human labour, the same number of persons can now produce a much greater amount of. manufactures than was formerly the case : so that there can be little doubt that if between .1801 and 1821 the numbers of manufacturers end tradera haVe increased 50 per cent, that the amount of the prodtictions - of their industry have more than doubled. Aftet these reMarka (intended AO show the grew ing inll?ertance, of these classes, and their claim on the consideratiOtt- of Parliament), your Committee proceed to the first head of - their propoied inquiry; viz. a brief examination of the tenses of fluctuations iu contillfiteltaing employments,. Without entering into minute and elaborate inquiries, these may be considered as principally ; arising from three sources; —lst; Change .of fashion or place ;-2d. Impreve menti in machinery ;-3d. Foreign rivalry, regula tions and prohibitions. It cannot be necessary to exemplify by particular instances alterations in employment from change of fashion, because a little reflection will suggest them to any one. • Thus cottons have taken the place Of woollens and linens in many article's of dress, and cottons arc in their turn, in dome measure, supplanted by silks ; .In various other. branches of manufacture similar alterations are almoit continual. The migration.or change of place of any mane facture has sometimes arisen from improvements of machinery' not applicable• to the spot where such manufacture was carried on, as appears to have been the case with the woollen manufacture, which hes in great measure migrated from Essex, Suffolk, land other .southern - counties, to the northern districts, where coal for the use of the steam-engine is much cheaper. But this change has in some instances been caused or accelerated by the conduct of the 'workmen, in refusing , a reasonable reduction of waged, oropposing the introduction of some kind of iMproVed,machinery or process; so that during the dispute another, spot has in great measurrumpplied their plaCe in the market. Any violence used by the workmen against the property of their masters, arid any unreasonable combination on their part, is almo,,t sure thus to be injurious to themselves. Improvements. in machinery have frequently had the effect of diminishing the demands for manual labour fora time, by doing the same work at a cheaper rate than by hand. This diminution of employment is however generally of a temporary nature, as experience shows that, from the cheaper amount at which the-fabric can thus be afforded, its use is more widely extended; and thus the work ! Men are again brought into work, though perhaps their employment may be somewhat different from what it was before. It is chiefly by numerous successive improvements in machinery, great capital, and many facilities for the conveyance of 'goods, that our manufuntures are still enabled to keep up a successful competition with foreigners, in our principal staple manufactures. One effect of improved machinery has been highly beneficial to the working classes, by admitting women and children to superintend and assist iH several operations more or less connected with the use of machinery, and thus to earn something towards that subsistence whioh formerly rested almost alone on the exertions of men. The adoption of expensive machinery in many of our principal manufactures, is a strong reason (con trary to an opinion often expressed) why less rather than more fluctuation is to be expected in the em ployment of those engaged in such fabrics; inas much as the capitalists to whom the machinery be longs must, in case it stand still, not only lose all profit upon their large investments, butalso sustain loss from that injury which always accrues to ma chinery remaioing'idle. • Your Committee have already adverted to cases of temporary loss of employment : arising from im proveMents in machinery. Of this the most striking example, perhaps, is on the 'effect caused by the invention of the power-loom in weaving. Without entering into any description of this invention, it may be sufficient to state shortly that, as used in the cotton manufacture, every power loom eilfl do - at least as much work as three band looms; and it appears • from information stated to your COmmittee, that the number of hand-loomi its England and Scotland are now about the same at in 1820, viz. 24.0,000; whereas the power.looms, which in 1820 amounted to about 14,000, are now increased to above .15,000; showing an increase in the amount of work done by 'powerslooms (between the two periods) equal to the work afforded by 123,000 hand-looms; and during all this time the wages and employment of the hand-loom weavers have been precarious. Hitherto the use of the power-loom has been con fined chiefly to the :Cotton manufacture ; should it ever be found practicable to make use of it exten sively in the fabric of woollens or silks, it is pro bable its effects would be not less important. This is only mentioned as a single example of the effect of improved machinery; and it appears therefore of great consequence to enable workmen to provide against the temporary Consequences of such inventions. The effect of foreign duties, regulations, and pro hibitions, is frequently very injurious to the eta plOyment of our manufacturers. or this we have a recent example in the American Tariff, which has been felt by the workmen of Kidderminster, Wol verhampton, and other places. Against all such fluctuations of employment, it appears essential that the workmen should have some provision. Your Committee now proceed to the second head of their inquiry, vii.---How to facilitate the forma tion of, such a provision. Without entering into minute statements ' it ap pears that in most o f t h e pr i nc ip a l tra d es and manu factures the earnings of workmen are sufficient, on an avekage of several years (if by any means these earnings could be at all equally spread over the whole period) to maintain their families in decent comfort. Hitherto, however, no legal facilities have been given to any system whereby societies of workmen might compensate the wants. of one month or year from the gains.of another,- Your Committee have therefore turned their anxious attention to this point; aud whilst they are well aware of the difficulties of the subject, and are desirous not to tike too san guine a view of this matter, thereannot but express it hope that in the plan hereafter submitted, the means of gradually diminishing the present evil may befound. Before detailing the outline of ti►o plan they re• commended, your Committee wish to state an ab street of the usual amount of earnings received by workmen in several of the principal menufnetures of the country, as detailed to them by a member of the Committee, who has taken pains to inform him self on this point. These are generally given as the amount of earnings during a recent period of tole ruble prosperity, and not those of unusual or tem porary depression. In the cotton manufacture, us carried on in a circle cif thirty miles diameter around Manchester, it aPPeirs ghat the working classes may be imps , * rated into four'. divisions Ist apt, consisting of men earning slos, per sceek. 2d. and female, earning 12s. per week.

Stiumtlith..—From accounts laid before your Committee, it appears there are at least eleven d ferent branches of manufacture in steel and inehl goods carried on in Sheffield and its vicinity, viol prising manufactures of,--Ist, table knives; f4d„ penknives and pocket-knives; 3d, scissors; 4th, razors; .sth, files; 6th, saws; 7th, edge tools ; Sth, fenders and stove-grates; 9111, Britannia metal goods; 10th, silver and silver p Wing; 11th, cut nails, &c. Each of these tildes exhibit a curious instance of the subdivision of labour, there being, in, each, three, four or five different sets of werkrt.en engaged, in the. completion of each article ; an for instance, for knives...forgers, grinder's, and finishers ; for files—forgers, grinders, cutters, and hardeners; for native-.smiths, grinders, handle.makers, and finishers.' And each of these subdivisions are agnin, dividtid into best, second, and third rate wail:men, earning various rates of wages. As-an approxime tion to their average cuttings, it has been stated to your Committee, that The hest class earn ahout Vi. per week. The second class The third claws ...1 6 5. For one of the highest class, there are three of the second and eight of the third. I n severa l of the twice, boys earn w proportionally; and women also get employment at , fair wages. All these persom are paid in money, and generally 'Ark by the piece. They comprise not less then 16,000 persons in the town pf Sheffield alone. It has been stated to your, 'Committee, that f ormer l y two-thirds of their mane..' factures were used et home; now the foreign , con. ,gumption is about one-half the whole. Having stated ar eotne , length the division of em ployment in Sheffield, your Committee will not re peat the same details as applicable to Birminglium, but only remark, that there also this workmen may, it is spill; be divided into three classes, earning re spectiVely about 12s. 18s. and 21s. per week, work ing ten hours each day, end six days per week ; that women and children are enabled to get enngi. derehlo earnings in many tildes; and that all the workmen are paid in money, and generally by the piece. IN WOLvitanAliproN—Your Conitnittee are in formed that the locksmiths, though working four teen hours per day, have lately earned not more then . from 118. to 14s, per week, being a great redoctioit on their, former wages. The screw makers (~bout 1000 in number) and hinge-makers heve laboured under, a similar depression. The wages of these workmen, it is said, were steady till after the pea t y ; in 1816, a great depression commenced, which eon-, tinned in 1817; 'from 1818 to 1822, a gradual in - ), . provement : took place; i n 1823, 1824, and 182.5,, , wiles advanced higher titan ever; it; 1826, they , . . came down, and have ever sin ce beet, gradually lower, . It is asserted by experienced manufa c tu r e rs o f Wolverhampton, that, before the . Peace, one-third of thq locks, screws, hinges, and edge-tools were for exportation, but nov they do not ext.-fled one sixth; that the Germans and Fletnings tire bt,-. ginning to compete with us, and that th e A iner i eett Tariff has operated injuriously to our beavy.good, None of these classes of workmen made any prO vi sion far want of work, but are eloecribed, during th,. time of high wagee, as generally improvident and extravagant. There are other trades.(as the japanners, neat 500 in number, who earn from 11. to 30e. per week) who have not experienced these reverses. Your Committee abstain f ro m en te r i ng into , any farther details as to the amount of earnings, or the fluctuations in employment, in other trades or manu factures, but content themselves with observing, that they apprehend the sam e g enera l results would arise from inquiries respecting them. Ott the average of severel years, it will be found that there is considerable fluctuation in the demand for labour in each manufacture, and that the amount of earnings in Most cases, if spread at all equal over the Nrliole period, would t'uflice 'for the support in deeetiecomfort of these employed. ' Before your Committee state the 041 which they. think (night ho adopted to leaser, the evils arising from temporary want of work, it will be incumbent on thorn to detail shortly how working mechanics and manufacturers are now assisted in such cases. In some of the trades in Loudon (paiticularly the tailors) all the journeymen are in organized clubs, for tnutuel support during went of work ; and out of the general fund, to which they all contribute when in work, each man out of employment has aright to a weekly allowance, not limited by the amount he may have contributed. However beneficial in some respects such a society may be in ,a, home trade, where !the demand for labour is Much greater it one period;of the year than another, it yet appears to operatS as a combination to regulate and keep up wages? and so far has this been the case, that no reduction in the *ages of these persons appears to have taken plat% since 181,5, notwithstanding the change in price of utmost every article of life. Your Committee do not enter on any consideration , o f t h e operation of this system, relative, to the wages of those journeymen who are employed entirely on article* of home consumption ; but it seems e vid ent , that if the s ome -kind of combination existed among workmen manufacturing artictes of ' export (comilig into cornpetititin with the fabrics of other countries ) ) that such a system might be productive of the worst effects; yonr Committee indeed appre hend it would ; lie of very short duration, but, as far as it went, would be injurious, and it would deeeivo the hopes of those who trusted in it. Tliti , journeymen brushinalters throughout the whole kingdom (not more than 1,000 in number,) and so to other trades, belon g to s i m il ar Noc i et i es. In t e Report of the Combitiation Laws,' touch evidence will be found tut this point. With o u t m mein) , further upon theaubj ect , it doss not appear t o you Committee advieable,to give soy addittoual legal dillies to the extension of such societies, which, however advantageous in some respects, op- peer to!havti the effect of keeping up jealousies be. , . t mien illtiaters Anti Mau i Among the carpet manufacturers, and several other trades, there are clubs (or unions of trade) for tputual'uid in want o f employment.
