EDITOR—The object I have in view by addressing you on the subject of Prisons is par tially obtained ; inquiry has i•econinzenced public . curiosity -is excited, the flame of investigation ,will soon become strong, and I trust that there will not be wanting the influence of Government .to direct its progress, until our gaols become houses of reflection, and, consequently, of reform. Thus encouraged, I proceed with My observations on classification and inspection, the very basis of prison discipline ; it is to the former that any hope of preventing the abandoned and wicked from corrupting the juvenile offender is to be at tributed ; and although some of our modern pri sons are extended in this particular beyond absO lute necessity, yet its effects are so obvious to every humane mind; that we willingly acknow ledge ourselves wrong in checking such laudable zeal. I would suggest that ga o l s ( as Sh er iff s ' pr i - Sons only), for. thy. accommodation 00, and not less than 100 prisoners, may be advantage ously classed as follows :- 1. Males charged with c:apital felony, and others who have before been convicted of felony. 2. Males charged with simple felony, but who have not been before 'convicted of any felony. 3. Females charged with felony. 4. Male accomplices in felony, admitted evidence for the Crown. • SUSSEX AND HANTS.

We placed a firm reliance on that statement, be cause we had reason to believe that it was de rived, not very remotely, from the information of one of the members of the Cabinet in which the declaration was made. Those, however, who are ,familiar with the politics of the Court of Brazil, well know the vacill , 3.':_on and uncertainty that precede the ,f any important measure, and they will not be surprised, though the public in general may, at the arrival of a de cree issued by-John VI., announcing his inten tion to proceed to Portugal.

In this instance, as in that of the Revolution, the practice of antedating an official document has been resorted to, in order to save the King's credit. The private letters from Rio de Janeiro indicate great - diveriity of opinion concerning an event in which the welfare and future fate of the Brazils are justly considered to .be deeply involved. Many, indeed, reasoning on the known want of decision in the Sovereign, regard it, notwithstanding the publication of the Decree, in the same uncertain light as before, and• were strenghtened in that opinion by rumours of intelligence from Lisbon, that the Cortes had decreed not to admit the King into Portugal until he- had ratified all the articles.of the new Constitution, ,assigning him' Madeira as a residence, should he be found to, have actually proceeded for Europe, until his determination on that subjeCt should . be made known.. This fear is, however, removed by the Act of Adhesion sworn to on the 26th February, which ratifies all the Acts of the Cortes uncondi tiqually, whatever their nature. Up.to the even ing of the 20th, the belief was - so general among those classes of the• community who are most, deeply interested in the event, that the Royal Decree would not be acted on, that Addresses to the .Kina,.requesting him to remain, were pre paring. Other letters found the objections to the King's qUitting Brazil on the difficulty likely to arise of - preserving the depndeni.e. of the dif ferent provinces in the absence Of - the Monarch, That of Bahia-, in particular, was believed to have declared that the departure of the King would be the signal for a declaration of independence. [MORNING POST.] The base Faction which strives with fresh ardour to aim a blow at our peace, has caused the unfortunate Queen officially to notify from Bran denburgh House, "that her Majesty has been pleased to dismiss from her service M. Carlo Ferti, in consequence of her having no farther need of his services, as she is now settled in Eng land; and that she has.also given a power of at torney to Signor Joseph Marietti to sell her pro perty in Italy. This notification has been put forth in terms the most exulting ; but why it should 'be matter. of triumph to the. Faction we can only explain on the ground that they expect to maintain the baneful influence which they have lately recovered over the mind - of their victim, and to use it as an efficient instrument for pro moting their nefarious purposes. INct they think it posSible for the Queen to re-assert her freedom 'of will and of action, and to insist on being allowed to spend the remainder of her days in decent retirement,- far from the public eye, and still farther from the criminal intrigues or ,auda cious combinations of party, instead of rejoicing at her Majesty's 'determination, they would be the first to lament, what they might not dare openly to reprove. Triumph on their -part is indiscretion. It reveals, not only their hopes, but their expec tation. It shows that the fatal alliance whose object was to degrade, if not to overturn the Throne; has been renewed ; and that vindictive feeiingsand evil councils have once more prevailed over the suggestions of Wisdom, and the inspi rations of repentance: Glad should we be to find that we are Mistaken, and that the exultation of .the Faction at her Majesty's determination to live amongst us, is founded on a wrong confidence in the weakness of her mind and the strength of her passions. Should she have spirit and pru- . dence enough to shake off the vile crew by whom she is once more dragged to the sacrifice—should she, by regular habits, a strict discharge of moral and religious .duties, and the exercise of private beneficence, make her residence not only harm less to the country, but useful to the wide circle which her magnificent income enables her to assist and relieve—should shit, in her declining years, make herself a name that would cover the errors and vices of the past, we should be the first to rejoice, in sincerity of soul, at her resolu tion to end her days in England. Her political influence is passed. She can no longer affect the destinies of the country ; but her own fate is still in her own hands, and she can make it, as she pleases to conduct herself, a curse or a blessing.- [BRITISH rims] The House of Commons permitted its attention yesterday evening to be diverted until after eight o'clock from the consideration of the great and interesting question of the Manchester Meeting, by the discussion of matters comparatively far in- I a parallel to this can be found in the history of any civilized country of modern Europe. The rapidity with which Ministers conveyed the thanks of his Majesty to the authors of this tragedy, gives rise to a strong suspicion of the existence of a previous understanding to endeavour, by some coup de main of this sort, to strike a terror into. the Reformers, and thus arrest'the progress 'of their cause. There seems no other way of ac:. counting for this step which is not attended with great difficulties ; and, in fact, the way in which their adherents speak of the transactions of the 16th, now that the facts can no longer be dis puted, lead us directly to this conclusion. They do not affect to dissemble the cruelty, but they dwell on the utility of what took place. It was necessary to, make a bold stand against Reform, •and to give courage and confidence to its oppo nents ; and: they think that nothing .was better calculated to give such courage and confidence than a demonstration that' men of property, mounted on horseback, might trample down with impunity poor men on foot, whenever and - whe . re. evtn• they pleased. . [NEW TIMES.I The House of Commons has again decided on the Manchester affair. The subject worn threadbare ; falsehood and misrepresentation have been.exposed again and again, and fresh dif cussion, at a distance of-time calculated to obviate the danger of a ha:,ty, an alarmed, or a passionate decision, has, we should hope, at last set at rest this fruitful theme of exaggeration and calumny. [MORNING HERALD.] A question of some curiosity and interest was put last night in the House of Commons, by Mr. Hume. it is, whether lonian Islanders, in this Country, are subject to the operation of the Alien Act F Mr. Goulburn, the Colonial Under , Secretary, declared - his,incompetency to answer the question. The, difficulty of the case, seems to be this : the dominion exercised by his Ma jesty over the lonian Islands is one thing in fact and another in name. The lonian Islands are declared to be " under the protection " of his Majesty. The fair construction of this term is, that they are an independent nation. This is implied in the very term " protection ;" for, if it means any thing, it means the protec tion of their independence. But the com munity of the lonian Islands exercise none of the attributes of independence. The follow ing is an analogous case ;—Buonaparte was ac knowledged Protector of what was called the Confederation of the Rhine ; but . , the powers forming this l e a gu e rece i ve d Envoys from their " Protector," were not governed in his name, and had a, primary domestic Executive. The lonian Islands, on the contrary,- are under the authority of a chief . Governor, appointed, and acting by command of his Majesty. - They re ceive no Envoy from this country. They, in fact, possess none of the attributes of an inde pendent political community. The power which. the British Government exercises over them is, in fact, arid to all intents and purposes, colonial dominion,. though styled, by a curious misnomer, a Protectorate. Being then under colonial dominion, the correlative of colonial rights necessarily follows, and carries the, people of those islands out of the operation of a law Which bears only upon the subjects of Foreign States. We suppose, ---indeed we are quite sure, that this question, started by Mr. Hume, has not been suggested by any actual or menaced applica tion of this law to lonian islanders. Several, it is known, have arrived i n t hi s country for 'some time past in a character too sacred for such treat ment—that of petitioners to the supreme autho rity of the King and the Parliament against vexation, injustice. and opp ress i on . _,_ On Friday, .pursuant to his sentence at last Circuit Court, Edinburgh, John Fleming was executed at Stirling for issuing a forged five pound note of the Paisley Banking Company. Th e Reverend Messrs. Bruce, Ileugh, and Stewart, attended him in his cell, and accompanied him to the Council Chamber, where the Magistrates were waiting ; a psalm was sung, and the three Clergymen prayed.; prisoner joined fervently in the devotions, and was very much resigned to his fate.

There are many juvenile offenders who would contaminate a class ; - and to prevent this, or any other casual evil, the Gaoler should have autho rity to vary the classing, according to circum stances ; but every alteration ought to be noted in his journal, and reported to the first Com mittee Magistrate who visits the gaol subsequent to such alteration. apprehend that houses of correction may not require more than three male classes, viz. Game Laws, Bastardy, other offences, ail females being together. Th e " a d van t ages o f classif i cation in prisons are too apparent to every thinking person to require comment, and I shall' pass to the next key of discipline. , INSPECTION, The principal object hitherto studied has been e sight of every prisoner, under all 'circum stances ; this . is essential, no doubt, but certainly .not so much so as to hear their conversation; with the lower orders, neither quarrels, conspiracy, or gambling, are carried on in silence: I wi1.1,-ven ture-to assert, that no extensive mischief can oc cur without verbal communication ; and, from the very nature of man, we may dedUce. the certainty, that to hear one's danger provides better means Of prevention than the sight only, because the faculty of hearing, being watchful day and night, is - the more general sense. The plan I suggested in a former letter will ef fectually secure this desirable end, even if the root) sbe very large. Let it not be supposed - that --Ltaink lightly of actual inspection ; on the contrary, it is an excellent secondary means, when it can be obtained, and the combined modes judiciously arranged Must contribute to the regularity of a prison. Ido not-feel competent to give any opinion on the discipline of Penitentiaries ; enough.forane to know that the government of those - pi isons ought to be very different to that established in gaols; all the inhabitants of the former are under sentence, and that for a long peried,which creates a vast difference of their mode of treatment, and it is Matter of astonishment that they. should he Con , sidered as assimilating to county prisons, when it is known from practice, that the best rules- for one would be the total ruin of the other ; more of this when I treat of gaol labour. The next subject under consideration is the go vernment of prisons. The Magistrates will'exert all their ability, all their zeal, and all tlirii• au thority without effect unless they make -proper selection in the choice of their gaolerand goVer nor of the House of. Correction it reqUires firm ness, humanity, cool deliberation, some education. and a knowledge of human nature,--to qualify a man for this office; the cast off livery servaritii no longer competent to the task, and, - from personal knowledge, I affirm that many respectable -per sons are prevented from devoting their Lillie - and talents—to the profession only because public opinion, founded on .the declaration . 6f-a great man in other respects.,* has branded gaolers with being a merciless race. of Men; and steeled against any tender sensation . ;: this stigma, Sir, haS' done more to .deteriorate. gaol discipline than all the indifference of the age ; there is Trot a Lawyer's Clerk but at every assize or session points at the gaoler as an'inferior being, one beneath the tlutraan species-; on the contrary, if . the directors of prisons were countenanced by respectable per sons as useful members of society, and (when de served) treated with common courtesy, there is not a doubt but many gentlemen would undertake the superintendenc e . of gaols, and the advantages of such condesc ens i on are well known where the Magistrates have made the experiment. • If the Legislature will do away the harsh and oppres sive term gaoler and substitute some other ; if this officer be proyided for in old age or infirmity, and if merit .alone dictates the selection, rest assured that our gaols and our country will be much benefited, or there will cease to be a pan. city of proper pers ons t o d o the imporlant. duty 'quisite for the well governing of prisons. My next will treat of prison labour. I am, Sir, your •ohedieat Servant, - May 11; 1821. CLIVIGER. " Sir W. Blackstone.
