ON PRISONS. —.(No: IL) Mr. Enfroa.—Reverting to that pojtion of my letter which appeared in you/6'14 4 '6f the 28th ultimo, relative to the feasibility of building and enlarging •of gaols, I hasten to continue :the theoretical part of my correspondence, previous to stating such facts as I have Observed from experi ence during . -the time that I have superintended a prison, and will commence on the association of gaols and prison building. It is well 1.n0wn..-that cities and many towns have exelOsive prisons for the confinement of such delinquents as offend within their juris:diction ; it is equally notorious that their gaols with few exceptions are on the worstxanitrriction. I could if necessary mention som,. places of conse quence -where the felopS and .misdemeanors, tried and.' - untried, fines arid debtors, males and females, are indiscriminately confined in the same • room during the day, and in otherr it is even extended to the night, not excepting of fenders guilty of the greatest crime known to, our laws, or the juvenile culprit whose. first of fence has introduced him to this horde of wretched ness and- vice ; but this'is not all, in some priscsas there is but one apartment for offenders of every description, healthy and sick, salp.• and deranged, from the murderer to the unfortunate debtor. Is it to be borne that such scenes of misery and in famy should be tolerated in this happy country ? This land of freedom and opulence,. where we boast of charitable institutions superior to any other in the world, and all are pro tected from the grasp of oppression, except the unfortunate debtor, juvenile offender, or 'the invalid, whose sad lot it is to be mixed with ma-: lefactors and wretches of the. most depraved ha bits; but, Sir, this does not so much continue from inclination as the deficiency of system; the 24 Geo. 3, cap. 54, and 14 Geo. 3, cap. 59, are disregarded from not: knowing hew to remedy the evil without expending a sum of money which perhaps it is not convenient to levy, and many places have not a sufficient number 'of prisoners to warrant the erection of a gaol on the improved principle, neither can some afford to pay servants to take, charge of extended establishments ; yet the remedy appears extremely simple ; tire sug gestion that' I would submit is to do away that part of the County stock devoted. to prison expendi ture, and substitute a general gaol rate on every place within, the county, except such cities and towns as possess efficient prisons; ,the new rate to be disbursed in building, repairing, and maintaining the Count, gaol and li - 011Selt of - correction, with th e i r inhabitants; that the 'Ma gistrates of such cities and towns shall commit assize Prisoners and persons under summary sen tence to the County gaol or houses of cor rection, as the case may be, and no where else, and' the remedy is at once attained, without ad ditional expence or inconvenience ; but should it be thought that such an arrangement may cause jealousy on' the pallet' the corporate Magistrates, the County stock may remain as at present, all offenders, as before stated, be committed to the County gaol or house of correction, and corpora., flops or corporate places be obliged to pay a cer tain -sum per day for the maintenance of each of their prisoners during confinement, the County establishments remaining under the same jurisdic tion as heretofore. It may be objected that such a law would interfere with the holding assizes in some cities and towns ; to this I answer, that if it be desirable to continue the .assize in such places, it is necessary to have a cell regulated prison there ; if otherwise, it is of no consequence.— These suggestions, if followed, will not interfere with the Quarter Sessions, as the prisons in cities and towns, with only two apartments, will be sufficient for the accommodation of persons in, tended to be tried in such courts, although those convicted ought immediately to ba removed to a County gaol or house of correction, and the daily allowance be paid to such County during the offender's confinement. Such an association of prisons, on either plan, must be productive of the best consequences. My next object is to call the public attention to Prison architecture. The society for the im provement of prison discipline has published a variety of plans on the windmill form, each pos sessing., its excellence and defects. Mr. Ho Lroan, in a recent Pamphlet, makes some judicious objections to this shape of building, but more particularly to the equality of_ size in the day rooms for each class ; it is. prepos terous to suppose that any gaol contains. an equal number of capital felons for trial, untried, . , and misdemeanors, and until this be the case the day rooms need not be throughout of the same di mensioils ; another well founded objection is that . the Governor cannot overhear the conversation of his prisoners. I submit, that the less discourse the better, and that every ward ought to be known to those who direct; but the only way of effecting this primary object (of far greater im portance than visionary inrpectivn) is to have all the day rooms on the ground iloor, with ventila tors in the ceiling; which will also act as a convey ance to sound, even in whispers, if the rooms be not too high ; and in reality there is no necessity for lofty apartments if ventilation be properly arranged. ; but there is.one part of the author's opinion I never can assent to ; he says you can not prevent cards and dice from being brought into .county gaols, and if you could, Pieced of mcney have heads And tails, that, very good domi noes may be made out of leather, and the only way to prevent gambling is occasionally to come upon the prisoner unawares." I feel much at differing with him upon atiy 'point, but really can not see the difficulty of averting this irregularity; my maxim is to prevent rather than cure; that gaoler who does not prevent such prac-• tices, grossly neglects his duty ; but more of this hereafter, when I •-addreSs you on the governthent of prisons. The principal objection to the Society's large plan for 400 pri soners, after those stated,appears to be the neces sity of certain classes being at exerciF.e . during the time others are at labour ; either one party orthe - other must be neglected by the superin tendant, and a sufficient number of overseers for both purposes would be far too epensive, lle who hears and sees his prisoners has little to fear, whether the prison be upon the windmill or polygon principle : upon the whale, either will answer every purpose, I certainly prefer the former, if propOrtionably built—first, because it gives the -Governor greater facility in hearing the prisoners through the ventilators in the first gallery, without the assistants or any class know ing that he is 'near ; sedond, those in custody can be much - - more .cOnveniently collebted in chapel without- intercourse,- than by the other plan ; and, third, because the yard inspection may be effectually secured for every purpose. The de feet in the plati of prison 7 building appears to originate chiefly_ from architects adhering too much to uniformity ; prisons may look very pretty- on paper, but• be exceedingly defective; the best way to avoid this" is to inspect the an nual returns laid before Parliament ) where every species of - offence is classed, then draw an ave rage for seven years, and the result will g i ve a tolerable -idea -of the required accommodation suitable to the -local circumstances of every county. If architects will act upon this rule, they may still retain the external uniformity of the building, and provide the necessary apart ments. Many person's- think the polygon more. secure than the- windmill plan ; I believe the contrary ; a vigilant watchman is the best secu rity, if the walls be sufficiently high to prevent the impertinent intrusion of the curious. Sir GEORGE PAUL said, that " if prisons were all security gaolers would become negligent." A good boundary wall at considerable distance from the wards is desirable. There are many points connected, with prison building which it would be superfluous to men- Con, except to professional persons; but I:be- lieve that a gaol on the windmill plan is capable of containing every convenience for 300 prisoners, and a plurality of such buildings within one boundary will answer better than any other hitherto devised. My next will contain remarks on classification and inspection.—l am, Sir, &c. CLAVIOER.

The farmers are Waiting With great impatience and anxiety for a communication of the Report of the' Agricultural CoMmittee ; as much, with respect to- their future prospects, will depend upon it.—Ainidst the distress of the tenantry, it is natural for them to consider, and to what amount, temporary relief could. be granted them by their landlords. It used formerly to be pretty•generally the custom to let half a year's rent lie in the hands of the tenant, but in these times this good old custom is almost given up. If it were re-established it would enable many farmers to recruit their exhausted circumstances, and would operate in the first instance more use, fully than reduction of rent. 'A noble example is held out to landlords by Colonel GEORGE FINCH HATTO,N, of Eastwell Park, who not only has kept up the good 'old custom, but at his last rent-day, returned his tenants. ‘.. ) .5 per cent. of their rents, due at Michaelmas last.--(1l104slonp Jcyfrnal. ) A dashing Exquisite in entering the pit of Covent-Gardeit Theatre on Saturday evening, was lightened of a watch, gold chain, and three Seals, value 60 guineas, while putting his j .hand in his pocket to nay.

Mr. Elliston, in a full _suit of black, Mr, -Winston, and Mr. Russell, hi Court dresEes, were in readiness to receive the King,- and conducted his Majesty to his box. Exactly at seven o'clock his Majesty entered the theatre. His appearance was instantly greeted by the most enthusiastic , cheers, ac companied in eve ry part ' o f t h e house by the waving of hats and handkerchiefs, and the clapping of hands. The whole house rose as lit were simultaneously, to render this tribute of affectionate Loyalty •to their gracious Sove reign. The scene at this moment was pecu liarly interesting and imposing. The 'King had advanced to the front of his box, and laying his hand on his left breast, bowed frequently in ac knowledgement of the enthusiastic energy with which the people evinced their feelings of re spect and attachment, and at the same‘thae there seemed not to be an individual in the house who was not exerting his voice or hand to express the assurance of his affection, The pit was crowded to excess, indeed it Must have proved extremely distressing to a great many persons in it. It ap peared, however, all life and animation. Imme., diately over it, the dress circle presented its beautifully- gay and diversified appearance, glowing in all the brilliancy and splendour of beauty and fashion. The Ladies in the front were for the greater part in Court dresses, but all were dressed with the utmost taste and ele gance, and, seemed as if they had been selecterl with care, that there might appear before the King an emulous display of the beauties of his realm.

His Majesty appeared in excellent health and spirits.
