DISCIPLINE AND MANAGEMENT (►F Co - NilCl' ( Continued from The Sun of September 5.) CONSTRUCTION OF PRISONS. No improvements in the construction of prisons have suggested themselves during the past year ; but I con tinue to be of opinion that, excepting in houses of cor rection, to which the prisoners of populous cities and towns are committed, there is no advantage to compen sate for the expense of constructing separate airing yards, or dividing the chapel into separate stalls. As regards exercising yards, there is no question what ever that the health of prisoners is better promoted by active exercise carried on under close supervision than when they wander listlessly about a small yard. As regards the division of the chapel into separate stalls, or bringing the prisoners together for divine wor ship, Mr. Reynolds, the chaplain at W a k e field, who is a warm advocate of the separate system and has had e xperience of both plans, th us expresses his opinion : " The new chapel has now been in daily use for five months, and we have therefore had full opportunity of judging of its mode of construction, and of comparing it with the arrangements acted upon before it was finished, namely, for the prisoners to be assembled for divine worship without any attempt at individual separation. I am of opinion that the plan of the new chapel is very objectionable. I object to it in the first place, because I think it is calculated to produce disagreeable associa tions in the minds of the prisoners regarding a place of public worship. I object to it in the second place, be cause I believe it to produce a chilling feeling of isola tion opposed to the proper social character of public worship. I object to it in the third place, because, in stead of preventing communication between different prisoners, it affords increased facilities for communica tion ; in the fourth, because it affords an opportunity to the ill-disposed to employ their time in chapel in writing on the woodwork of the stalls instead of attending to the service, and opportunities, also, of disturbing the wor ship of other prisoners by making noises, which is very difficult to trace to any particular prisoner. These evils we have found to exist in fact, notwithstanding a great number of officers are employed in watching the prisoners in chapel, itself an injurious arrangement, but in fact, no number of officers in a chapel thus constructed can prevent communicatio n from going on among the prisoners. " I would add, that although the central hall was not erected with a view to its being used for public worship, and that a better form of building for public worship might easily be devised, 200 prisoners assembled daily in it for worship for eight months, w ith not more tha n half the number of officers to superintend them a s are required for the same number of prisoners in the new chapel ; and that, nevertheless, such was the excellence of the order observed, that duringthe whole of that time there was only one single report for misconduct." Mr. Shepherd, governor of Wakefield prison, also re marks on the same point : " I have heard the evidence given by Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Alderson, respecting the evils arising from the plan of construction adopted in the new chapel, and I entirely concur in all that these gentlemen have stated. I have myself frequently occupied one of the stalls in the back part of the chapel during the time of service, and I have found that it requires a strained and painful atten tion to connect together the different parts of the dis course, notwithstanding the preacher was speaking in a high tone of voice ; in truth, it demanded a degree of attention which no prisoner, who was not very earnest in his desire to hear and understand the sermon, would be likely to give. Although in some parts of the chapel it is thus difficult to hear the preacher, the faintest whisper is heard from stall to stall ; and I find by the statements and admission of prisoners themselves, that it is no uncommon thing for a prisoner to carry on a running commentary on the prayers, and for indecent and profane conversation to go forward." Much of the inconvenience pointed out by the gover nor and chaplain at Wakefield has been experienced at Pentonville. Writing of the most objectionable cha racter appears on the wood-work in reany places, and punishments for attempts to communicate have been frequent. These cannot fail to have a prejudicial effect, as being associated in the mind of a prisoner with his attendance on religious worship. If in county prisons, from which prisoners on dis charge are dispersed, and usually return to their parishes, the discipline has been conducted on the separate system, as recommended by the committee of the House of Com mons of 1830, it will have been impossible for prisoners to form intimacies, or devise any plans which would be likely to increase their power of mischief on liberation. HARD LABOUR IN PRISONS, The great object at the present time appears to be, to endeavour to attain some degree of uniformity in the administration of the law in all prisons, with a view to give effect to the recommendation of the House of Com mons of 1850, for enforcing separate confinement in the case of all prisoners, whether before trial or after, and for carrying out, in the case of the latter, the sentence of the court in regard to hard labour. The committee of the House of Commons made the following resolution, bearing on the question of indi vidual separation, combined with the enforcement of hard labour : " That hard labour is not incompatible with indi vidual separation, and that where they have been tried in combination, as in the county prison at Leicester, the effect has been remarkable in the decrease of the num ber of committals under the Vagrant and Malicious Trespass Acts." As regards the general question of enforcing hard labour, concerning which there is reason to believe that much misapprehension still exists, I would observe that the 4th Geo. IV. chap. 64, sec. 10, provides as fol lows : " Due provision shall be made in every prison for the enforcement of hard labour in the case of such prisoners as may be sentenced thereto, and for the employment of the prisoners. The means of hard labour will be pro vided, and the material requisite for the employment of prisoners shall be purchased under such regulations as may be made for that purpose by the justice in general or quarter sessions assembled." The Bth rule provides that— "Every prisoner sentenced to hard labour shall, un less prevented by sickness, be employed so many hours every day, not exceeding 10, exclusive of the time al lowed for meals, as shall be directed by the rules and regulations to be made under this act." In these rules will be observed the wide and proper distinction which should exist between the treatment of a prisoner under sentence of hard labour, as adverted to in the foregoing act, and one who is entitled to em ployment, such as a prisoner in separate confinement before trial, under the provisions of the 2 and 3 Viet., C. 56. It may be difficult to mark precisely the line of de marcation where labour ends and employment begins ; but it is reasonable to suppose that it was contemplated in the act that hard labour should be strictly penal in ifs character ; and I am confirmed in this opinion by what I believe to be the fact, that treadwheels were first in troduced into prison immediately subsequent to the pas sing of the act, and were then used for enforcing such a sentence. Cells of the construction of those in Pentonville are, however, scarcely adapted for hard labour, especially during the summer months ; and I think a continuous shaft, with separate crank handles, arranged in an open shed, divided into small compartments by corrugated iron partition, will in some respects be found preferable. And this further advantage may k be secured by the adop tion of such a plan that the ordinary cells of prisons may be made available for separate sleeping cells, the prisoners being separated in the open air all day. This plan of working the discipline has been in operation at Bristol for several years with the best effect, although the prison is of a construction which is unfavourable for inspection and discipline. Where machines have already been introduced into cells, the means of admitting more fresh air through the window s w il l be desirable. The ventilation in the new P_r_s o , l lB, whe n properly worked, is sufficienefor sedentary 'omutreoeyra"t, but real h ar d l a b our can on ly b e c a r ried n air. veniently where there exists a free current of I was led to recommend hand cranks as a means of hard labour from their affording a better opportunity of securing from their the adv antage of s e p ara t e con fi nemen t , an d being more economi ca l i n the first outlay than the erection of tread-whee 4 where they did not already exist. PROFIT ABLP. ANDeiIt74TjtACTIVE LABOUR. In connection with this that the lab on is one which is frequen t °tour should be be made pro ly adverted to, viz., zial training, it would be fitable, and that, as regard s the attractive to the prig advantage to render it useful Boners. With respect to profit, the experience gained i n a, p . wheel to th e plying the collective power of a tread -wheel manufacture of flour, or other purpose's, is, I believe, - unfavourable. I fully admit the moral advantage to be ga i ned 1 )Y a long course of industrial tr ainin g ; but I conceive - h these can only be obtained by the almost en tire sacrtificate of the distinction between employment and hard labour. The greatest profit that can be realised under such circumstances is, firstly, to deter others from crime, by the accounts which a prisoner will give to his comrades on his release ; and, secondly, to deter him from again entering a prison if he can help it. It would obviously be hopeless to anticipate the permanent reformation of any considerable proportion of prisoners when the time which could be devoted to their instruction has been too limited to admit of its producing any permanent effect. All such must be deterred by fear of punishment. Sir John Kincaid, Inspector of Prisons for Scot land, referring to the changes which have become absolutely necessary in the discipline of the Scotch prisons, snakes the following observations in his report for 1852 : "To understand the nature of the changes just re ferred to, it may he necessary that I explain what the Scotch prisons were until now. "In my several annual reports, since I was appointed Inspector of the district in 1847, I felt it my duty to ,: bring under the noti ce o f th e S ecre t ar y of State the de- i of l fe tivesystem of d ea li ng w ith th e cr i m i na l population I Scotland; f or a t that time the law did not permit a thief or av e agr er nt to he sentenced to hard labour, nor a juvenile offender, be whipp e d ; a ll o f th em were neces sarily sent n to prison, t o wh ere th ey cou ld no t f a il t o dis cover that the labour was much great er , than much less, and the comforts ; and thus, most of th em were accus t ome d t o 1 out of prison s,\vhile a fi rs t o ff ence sent many a one to prison w h om a stringent du syst em o f di sc i p li ne might have cured, the undue more generally tended to makeetl comforts o f ti me pr i son " The act 14 and 15 Vict. c. 2 1em 7 confirmed cr i m i na l s . which at length invested the judges and magistrates pa sse d i n 1851 , au thority so long needed — that of awarding with the sen tences in all cases, and the whipping of boys not ex ceeding 14 years of age. "The passing of this act having enabled the direc tors of the General Prison Board to place the prisons of Scotland on a system of discipline more consistent with the welfare of the community, they immediately proceeded to consider the measures best calculated to give it effect ; but, as the different plans which sug gested themselves required information, it was towards the close of last year before the new rules were sanc tioned and ordered to be enforced. They are shown in detail in the fourteenth report of the General Prison Board, and therefore it is only necessary for me to state generally that they consist of— " 1. An extensive use of crank machinery. "2. Picking dry oakum to an extent that will make it amount to hard labour. "3. Instead of being furnished with the hammock or bedstead, all convicted criminal prisoners, excepting any whose age or infirmities would, in the opinion of the governor and surgeon, render it unsafe, shall for the first month after conviction, or for the whole period of sentence where the duration of sentence is less than one month, each be required to sleep on a wooden guard bed, a sufficient quantity of covering being allowed for warmth, and which in a properly-heated prison need not exceed two blankets and a rug. After the first month, such prisoners as shall have conducted themselves pro perly in all respects are to be allowed the usual bed and bedding ; but the retention of this privilege shall in each case be dependent on the prisoner's conduct. " I ought to add, that prior to the adoption of this system in any prison in the district, the General Prison Board had taken the opinion of the eminent medical ad visers of the board, that the system was in no respect calculated to injure the health of the prisoners. " In Scotland the system is scarcely yet in full opera tion, so that it would be premature to remark on its working ; but as the reformatory system of discipline had (in this distric t at all events) in a great measure failed in its expected results, after many years' expe rience, in which everything that humanity could sug gest and a liberal expenditure procure, to give effect to its operation, had been honestly tried, and it at length became manifest that the welfare of the community re quired a very different system —one in which every attempt to reclaim the criminal should continue unre laxed, but that such system required its leading feature to be of a strong deterring character, similar to that re cently adopted by the General Board ; not that this or any other system will probably relieve the prisons of old offenders, but I expect it will materially diminish the number of those who are not yet wedded to crime." THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER- 7, 1853. COMFORTS OF PRISON. A cursory inspection of the convict prisons might lead any one to the conclusion that a prisoner is better fed, clothed, and lodged, than many an honest man who is struggling against the hardships that poverty entails upon him. No one, however, will be prepared to argue that, in this country, any convict, no matter what may have been his crime, should be locked up for long periods, and be deprived of what may be necessary for his health and cleanliness. Still less would it be contended that, in any sound system of discipline, the reformation of the man should be disconnected from the punishment due to crime. Under any circumstances, however, there is another side to this picture of comforts afforded to a prisoner. . . The enforcement of cleanliness and regularity on the resolute and reckless characters which form an average prison population, is not only essential as a means of reformation, but it may fairly be taken as a wholesome and legitimate element of punishment. In this double character all the attractive appearances of cleanliness and good order in prisons may be safely viewed. They are not the result of any undue desire to administer to the comfort of a prisone but the whole bearing of the daily routine by which they are secured is calculated to thwart the natural tastes and habits of most criminals, and to direct them into new and improved channels. During the earlier period of the process, they, doubt less, add indirectly to the punishment, but when a pri soner appreciates them as conducive to his comfort, he is likely to profit by the instruction he has received. The recruit does not enjoy either his days of drill, or the enforced precision of military discipline ; but it soon ceases to be irksome, and in after life he never loses the advantages it has secured to him. Mr. Frederick Hill, late Inspector of Prisons for Scotland, alludes to the subject in his report for 1844. Speaking of the general opinion that prisons are attrac tive, he says "But let the visitor reflect that, first, as respects the honest workman, the prisoner has entirely lost his free dom, and ceased to be his own master ; that he is not only cut off from family and friends, but that, generally, he is deprived of companionship altogether ; that he must neither whistle, sing, nor shout ; that day after day, and month after month, except at the intervals of exercise, he is confined within the four walls of his little cell, Sundays and holidays affording no relief, the very changes of the season almost unknown to him—for all, at least, that he can partake of their charms. Let him think of this, and he will probably be of opinion that, though the prisoners were fed on turtle, instead of barley broth, and slept on down instead of straw, there would still be few applicants, among the honest working class, for permission to occupy their places. " And let the visitor, further, make himself ac quainted with the habits of criminals, and with their ideas of comfort and luxury, and he will probably come to the conclusion that their distress must indeed be severe, and such as to make their being at large dan gerous to all around them, before such persons would voluntarily enter a prison. " For what, owing generally to wretched training, are the habits of criminals ? Idleness, late rising, indul gence in drinking, smoking, and gambling. And what regard is paid to these habits, however strong they may be, on entering,:a, Scottish prison ? Not the slightest. However great a sluggard, he must rise, the very morn ing after his admission—even in the middle of the winter —when the clock strikes six. Then, although he would probably prefer remaining in his dirt to the trouble of making himself clean, he must immediately wash himself, and that thoroughly. So soon as that is done he must, if he has been tried, begin a task of labour, with the prospect of losing his dinner if he be sullen and refuse to complete it. Should he ask for a companion lie will at once be refused. Between times he may wish to comfort himself with a pipe, or at least with a pinch of snuff ; but no ! the rules inexorably and most properly forbid all luxuries, especially such as foster habits of ex pense. At dinner he may ask at least for a little beer, but he is again refused, and he finds that, however much against his will, he has suddenly become a member of a total abstinence society. As for opportunities of gam bling, he has neither anything to stake, nor any person with whom to play. " When it is considered how painful an effort is gener ally necessary to break through a single bad habit, it may be judged how much a person, under such circum stances, must suffer ; and it will be seen that that which is pleasing to the eye of the visitor, and excellent in it self, is often obtained with much though necessary pain ; and the delusion will be dispelled that the prisons have ceased to be places of punishment." As regards diet, the reports of the Commissioners of Pentonville, and all the experience which has been gained in the administration as separate confinement, lead to the conclusion that, during imprisonment, a liberal diet is absolutely essential to the preservation of health. On public works it has been proved beyond doubt that, without sufficient sustenance, the men cannot pos sibly perform the heavy work required of them, how ever willi and industrious they may be. I adverted to this point in my fourth report : " I would observe that, as regards prisoners in sepa rate confinement, the experience gained during the ex periment at Pentonville demonstrated beyond all dispute that a liberal diet, not less in amount of nutritious qua lity than that which appears in the established scale, is absolutely necessary to the preservation of health during long periods of separate confinement. _ " - The experiment of a reduction in this amount was tried at Wakefield, chiefly, I believe, with a view to economy. The result of the diminished quantity, com bined with an average confinement somewhat exceeding eighteen months, was very unfavourable, as exhibited in the first prisoners sent to Portland, who were received from Wakefield in a very low and depressed condition. "As regards the diet of convicts employed upon public works, it being an object that they should be made to exert themselves to the utmost, it has been found essential to give them such a diet as would support their strength. "The scale now established has been determined on medical grounds, and on experience of the prejudicial effects of a lower dietary both on the health and energy of the men." Having noticed the general subjects which I have considered it desirable to bring under your lordship's consideration, I will proceed briefly to review the state of the separate convict prisons. SERIOUS ROBBERY.—Yesterday a daring robbery was committed at the White Hart public-house in Clifton street, Finsbury, by a gang of four well-dressed men, who contrived to steal a cash-box containing nearly 601. in gold and silver, besides valuable securities. Mr. Chadwick, the police inspector, who proceeded to inves tigate the case, immediately upon receiving information of th e robbery, ascertained that the fellows had been Upwards of a week hanging about the house, spending money f reely at the bar and in the parlour, and making thems elveslllite familiar and agreeable customers while YYesterd their opportunity to commit the depredation. the im us Z na a o n n i a ing, as early as ten o'clock, they visited chatting and d ' i t . Z . ot them stood in front of the bar, parlour for the while taking their ost lng', while the others went to the beransible purpose of writing a note they rang the parlour n h d e ll and cigar. In a short time Mrs. Catchpole, the lan lady, who was alone in ell, to answer the call, was detain ed ar at the time, proceeding guests indulged in a sort of f some time while her paying for their refreshment preiendly contention about ture. Upon her return to the bPaarrastrY to their depar the two she had left there had in the e discovered that off the cash-box, which stood upon a mtaebalTedirne carried in th e b ar _ parlour. In it were 341. in g ol d , 141 . in silvear ahe for 201. drawn by Mr. Rivetts u p on the London cheque for Westminster Bank, a cash-book, a housekeepinl and and various documents. The police are on the alert°ltO discover the robbers. To ROME BY RAILWAY,—A concession has just been granted by the Tuscan Government to Messrs. Gandell, Brothers, of Paris, for a railway of 80 miles, from Florence to Arezzo, the frontier town of Tuscany, next to the Roman States. By its connection with the Northern and Central lines it will open an uninterrupted communication between the Northern States of Italy and the Roman dominions ; and proposal s have been submitted to the Pope for its extension to Rome, a dis tance of about 200 miles. PROPOSED CLOSING OF PUBLIC-HOUSES ON SUNDAYS. —The number of petitions presented to the House of Commons during the past session, praying for the pass ing of a l aw t o c l ose all public-houses on Sundays, and to prohibit the sale on that day of intoxicating drinks, amounted to 166, with 51,567 signatures. POLICE INTELLIGENCE MANSION-HOUSE. —SINGULAR CHARGE OF As- SAULTING A FEMALE.—Frederick Pigram, was charged with having assaulted Mrs. Rebecca Levy. The complainant said,—The defendant is a cabinet maker, and I, having been told that he wanted t o see me, called at his house, and was shown into the parlour on the first floor. The moment I entered and asked him his business with me, he seized me by the two arms and carried me into the adjoining room. I screamed out, told him I was a married woman, and entreated him to let me go out. He said that his wife was out, and that he could not part with me, and at that moment a knock came at the door, and he opened the door, and in walked my mother's servant, so I availed myself of the opportunity to escape from him. Sir Peter Laurie—Was that the first time he ever offered violence of this kind to you ! Mrs. Levy—No. He offered the same sort of vio lence to me before, but he made an apology and I for gave him. Sir Peter Laurie--Your husband is there, Lthink ? Mrs. Levy—He is, my Lord. Sir Peter Laurie—Well, Mr. Levy, have you any thing to say about the defendant ? Mr. Levy—l bear Mr. Pigram no illwill ; I would serve him as far as laid in my power. The defendant— And so would I serve Mr. Levy, my Lord, as far as laid in my power. (Laughter.) Sir Peter Laurie—Were you informed of the first in sult offered to your wife, Mr. Levy. ? Mr. Levy —The first I heard about it was from Mr. Pigram himself, when he came to beg my pardon for what he had done to my wife. (Laughter.) I didn't understand what he meant until afterwards. Ellen Manning, servant to Mrs. Levy's mother, said —I knocked twice at the door before I was let in, and when the defendant opened the door I saw Mrs. Levy, and she had a frightened look, and told me that Mr. Pi gram wanted to do what was not right. She then left the house. I afterwards heard her tell her mother about his conduct. The defendant said, the violence was all the other way. (Laughter.) Sir Peter Laurie—Do you mean to say she wanted to seduce youl The defendant—l do. If I had done much more than she says I did she would not have said a word about it, but I wouldn't consent under any circum stances. Sir Peter Laurie—Do you mean that she is a loose woman ? The defendant--No, I don't mean that ; but I mean to say that I have three or four men here who can prove my words. Sir Peter Laurie—Mr. Levy, do you live in the neighbourhood ? Sir. Levy—l do, my lord, and lam determined to leave it. Sir Peter Laurie—Do so as soon as possible, by all means. In the meantime I shall bind over the de fendant to keep the peace towards your wife for six months. GUILDHALL—ACCIDENT BY GUNPOWDER.— WM. Cox, the potman at the Black Dog, in Shoe-lane, was brought up under the following extraordinary circum stances : City-policeman 314 said—l was on duty yesterday afternoon in Shoe-lane, and, hearing a report of fire arms, I hastened to the corner of Stonecutter-street, and saw a great crowd in front of the Black Dog public house. I also saw three boys, very much injured, taken to the hospital, and was afterwards informed that the prisoner had brought out a quantity of gunpowder, which, becoming ignited by some means, burnt the boys in a most dreadful manner about their faces and hands. The prisoner was also very much burnt on his face and right arm. Two of the boys were present, but the third was so severely injured as to be unable to leave the hospital. Frederick Coveney, a lad about 12 years of age, said —I was walking with one of the other boys past the Black Dog, and saw the prisoner, with a tin case in his hand, pouring gunpowder down the sewer's grating, and strewing some along the gutter. I heard there were about 21b. at first. When he had emptied one case he went into the house and brought out another, and while we were looking on it blew up, and I was knocked down on my back. I immediately scrambled up on the other side, and went to the hospital, where I stayed all night. Sir R. W. Carden—Did you see who set it alight ? Witness—No, sir. I did not see any light at all. Sir R. W. Carden (to prisoner).—This is a very serious case ; have you any questions to ask the wit nesses ? The prisoner —All I can say about it is, that when I was pouring out the gunpowder the boys got catch ing it in their hands, and when I came out with the second case some person set a light to the gunpowder. Sir R. NV. Carden—And you got burnt yourself. The prisoner—Yes, sir, and I have been in the hos pital all night in consequence of the injuries I received. Sir R. NV. Carden—What induced you to expose gun powder so dangerously ? The prisoner —My master was making alterations, and, in the clearing out, the two canisters containing the gunpowder were found, and he told me to pour it into the sewer. Mr. Ashwell, the landlord of the Black Dog, and the master of the prisoner, here came forward, and said he was told that one of the boys in the crowd ignited the gunpowder. Sir R. W. Carden—How much gunpowder was there ? Mr. Ashwell—not more than an ounce and a half, or two ounces, sir, for it was merely the remains of two canisters. Sir R. W. Carden—Oh that can't be ! It's impossible two ounces of gunpowder could injure so many, and so severely as these boys appear to be ! Mr. Ashwell—l assure you, sir, there was no more, and the prisoner is as innocent as I am. Sir R. W. Carden—Why, you are the originator of this misfortune by disposing gunpowder so carelessly. I think you are the most culpable. Mr. Ashwell—l thought the common sewer was the safest place for it, and there was not much, or I would have turned it into money by selling it. Sir R. W. Carden—l say again, it's quite impossible that two ounces could have done so much mischief. An officer here stated, that the father of the lad who was lying in the hospital, had ascer'ained there was from llb. to I,llb. of gunpowder. Sir R. W. Carden—That is more likely. Officer—The report was heard at the bottom of Hol born-hill, and even in Victoria-street. Sir B. W. Carden—l must tell you, Mr. Ashwell, that you are placed in a very peculiar position in the event of anything of a serious nature happening to these boys. Mr. Ashwell—lt was very imprudent for the boys to meddle with the gunpowder. Sir R. W. Caraen- - -It was very imprudent in you to give them the opportunity. - The father of the poor - lad who was the most injured here came forward, and described the state his son was in after the explosion to be most agonising. He thought it was quite a miracle they were not all killed on the spot, for the report of such a large quantity of gun powder quite alarmed the whole neighbourhood. Sir R. W. Carden—l shall remand this case for the attendance of the poor unfortunate boy in the hospital. Mr. Ashwell—Will you accept my bail for the pri soner ? Sir R. W. Carden—Certainly, for there is much more blame attached to you than to him, and I will not there fore detain him if you will be answerable for his appear ance. The case was then adjourned. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Thomas Staines, was brought before Mr. Hardwick for final examination, charged with stealing a cheque for 2051. 55., the pro perty of his master, Mr. Charles Spr'ggs, auctioneer, No. 19, Lower Brook -street. The prisoner reserved his defence, and was fully corn mitted. EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPT AT EXTORTION BY A BOY.—John Yoriard, a boy in the dress of a page, whose age was stated to be 15, was put to the bar charged with having attempted to extort 1001. from his master, a medical man, named Kahn, living in Regent street. Mr. Kahn stated that he engaged the prisoner some weeks back as his servant. The prisoner after being a few days in his service complained of illness, and, having mentioned the nature of his disease, witness consulted Dr. Leach about it, who examined the pri soner, but could find nothing the matter with him. The prisoner stayed at home several days, and then re turned to his place. The prisoner comnlained again two or three times of being ill, and at last another lad was put in his place to do his work. Complainant pro posed to take the prisoner to a medical man again, and the prisoner went with him, but when he got to the house he refused to go in, alleging that the doctor might perhaps ask him some questions, and then he must tell him what he (complainant) had done to him the first Sunday he was in his service, for ever since that time he had felt very bad. Complainant was unable to com prehend the meaning of the prisoner's words, and asked him twice to explain what he meant. The prisoner then said that on Sunday morning, about 10 o'clock, while in the museum of the surgery, complainant came there, and acted towards him in a manner that cannot be detailed. Complainant, being greatly angered, said, " You d—d scoundrel, can you look in my face and repeat the charge ?" The prisoner looked on the ground, and said he could kiss the Bible to the truth of what he had said. Witness accused him of hav ing been put up to make the charge by some one, and he questioned the prisoner on that point, The pri soner denied having been persuaded to make the charge, and he again repeated the charge. Complainant had some further conversation with the prisoner, who then told him that he knew a boy in Birmingham who had obtained 3001. from his master in a similar case. The prisoner afterwards told him he read the case in one of the public papers. Complainant said to him, if he would tell him the name of the person who had told him to make this charge against him he would forgive he would him, and he should not deprive him of his situation. communicated Theina prisoner denied that any person had told him to prisoner called and etile charge, but he refused to be examined by a medical lnn. think over The prisoner, the m atter beforeand callgoing up a n w h a i y m , said wanted a character. had received( parisloentt: per haps on Monday morning.

He said that the housekeeper of the gentleman himself told him that when he was in Birmingham. Com plainant again asked him if 501. would not do. The prisoner said he would take 501. down, and the rest could be paid at 51. a-week. Complainant then went upstairs and got a receipt for 501., and said, " John, how would you like the money—in notes or gold ?" The prisoner said he would take it in notes and gold, and he would put a portion into the savings bank. The prisoner then signed the receipt ; upon which, the police, who were in waiting, were called in, and the prisoner was taken into custody. Police-constable Godfrey corroborated the statement of Dr. Kahn as far as the demand of 1001. was con cerned. After the prisoner had signed the receipt wit ness went into the room, told him who he was, and said he must take him into custody. The prisoner said, "For God's sake, what shall Ido ? Oh, my poor father Do pray forgive me, Dr. Kahn ; I did no t m e an it." While on the way to the station the prisoner said, "I do not care now • I'll speak the truth. The doctor did do what I said." This the prisoner repeated over and over again. The prisoner then detailed all that he alleged to have occurred, and said that the doctor took liberties with him the very first day he entered his service. Police-constable Ryland corroborated the constable's statement. - - The prisoner, after having been cautioned, said, the doctor showed him a paper and asked him to sign it. He read it, and agreed to sign it. Then the constables were called in and he was given into custody. Mr. Hardwick directed the further investigation to take place next Tuesday. HEALTH OP LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The deaths registered in London during the week end ing Saturday, Sept. 3, numbered 1,029, whilst the ave rage of the corresponding week for the last ten years, not including the cholera in 1849, was 950. The mor tality exceeds the average raised in the same proportion as the increase of population. Cholera was fatal to 16 persons, namely, 12 children and 4 adults. In the last 8 weeks from the week ending 16th July, 3,6, 9,4, 19, 10, 18, and 16 deaths from cholera were registered. Diarrhoea in the same period was fatal to 54, 73, 81, 110, 139, 126, 137, 152 persons, and shows a tendency to increase. The deaths from typhus, which in the pre ceding week were 37, rose last week to 48 ; scarlatina has increased from 18 in the previous week to nearly double that number, namely, 32 deaths in the last week. The tuberc ilar diseases and those of the heart and blood vessels show but little variation in the mortality from that in the former week. 5 persons died in child birth, 123 from consumption, 4 from aneurism, 4 from delirium tremens, and 2 from intemperance. Of the 1,029 persons whose deaths are recorded, 520 were chil dren under 15 years of age, 317 of the age of 15 to 60, and 191 of the age of 60 years and upwards. The births in the week were 1,582, or 553 more than the deaths. The following are the particulars of the 16 cases of cholera registered in the week : At the Millbank prison, on the 21st August, a pri soner, formerly a female servant, aged 30 years, "cholera (about 18 hours)." Inquest. At 34, Tachbrook-street, Westminster, on the oth3 August, the son of an omnibus conductor, aged 7 weeks, " cholera infantum (24 hours)." In the sub-district of Christchurch, Marylebone, on the 31st August, at Stag's-head-yard, Harrow-street, Lisson-grove, the son of an ostler, aged 5 years, " Asia tic cholera (18 hours)." At 9, Waters-court, Islington, on the 24th August, the daughter of a labourer, aged one year and 9 months, " measles, cholera (4 weeks)." The Registrar adds : "If asked to point out where cholera would be likely to commence, this is one of the places I should have men tioned ; there are but three privies for all the houses in this court, and other things in proportion ; six or seven courts are in the immediate vicinity." At 75, Aldgate, High-street, on the 29th August, the daughter of a meat salesman, aged 4 months. " Eng ish cholera (6 days)." At 13, Holly-street, Dalston, in the Hackney sub-dis trict, on the 25th August, the son of a labourer, aged 6 weeks, " cholera infantum." In the sub-district of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, at 8, Garden-row, on the 25th August, the daughter of a commercial traveller, aged 15 months, " cholera infan tilis." _ _ In the sub-district of Hoxton New Town, at 4, Rydon terrace, on the 3rd September, the son of ? a warehouse clerk, aged 11 months, "infantile cholera (6 days)." In the sub-district of Hoxton Old Town, at 2, Bretts buildings, on the 27th August, the son of a tailor, aged 9 weeks, "infantile cholera (2 days)." At 18, Wentworth-street, Spitalfields, on the 30th August, a labourer. aged 28 years, " cholera (3 days), consecutive fever (2 days)." At 34, Upper Victoria-road, Holloway, on the 28th August, the daughter of a labourer, aged 6 months, " infantile cholera (5 days)." At 66, Culford-road North, in the sub-district of West Hackney, on the 28th August, the (daughter of the master of a trading vessel, " cholera with bron chitis (7 days)." In the sub-district of Bromley, at 4, Tetley-street, on the 31st August, the daughter of a labourer, aged 3 months, " cholera (English), 3 days." The Registrar adds :—" In 1849 several deaths from cholera took place in this street, which was then without drainage, and a formal complaint by medical men was made to the guardians on the subject. A sewer has since been carried through the street, the houses have been drained into it, and it is now one of the best drained and best ventilated streets in the parish. This is the first death which is alleged to have happened from cholera this year in my district. In the sub-district of Tottenham, St. Pancras, at 76, John-street, on the 26th August, a cabinet-maker, aged 58 years " cholera (3 days), exhaustion." In London-road, sub-district of St. George, South wark, at 87, London-road, on the 29th August, the son of a cutler, aged one year, " cholera infantum (5 days)." In Peckham, sub-district of Camberwell, at 16, Shard-square, New Peckham, on the 28th August, a shoemaker, aged 38 years, " bilious cholera (14 days) exhaustion. The following causes of death are selected from the Registrars' returns : At 18, Quaker-street, Spitalfields, the daughter of a cabinet-maker, aged 3 years "diarrhoea (3 weeks), dropsy (3 days), accelerated by unwholesome smell in the back room." The Registrar adds : " This is the second death in the same family within a week from similar causes." At 57, Seymour-place, Marylebone, the daughter of a labourer, aged 8 months, "diarrhoea (6 days), accele rated by the want of medical attendance in consequence of n egligence of parents," At 34, Parker•street, in the sub-district of South St. Giles, the son of a bricklayer, aged 4 years, " typhus fever (one month.)" The medical attendant adds on his certificate : "Three deaths have occurred from typhus fever within the last two months in this house ; the smell from a sausage machine at the back is very offensive. ---- Last week the births of 805 boys and 777 girls, in all 1,582 children, were registered in London. The ave rage number in eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 was 1,378. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.732 in. The mean temperature of the week was 55.7 deg., which is 3.3 deg. below the average of the same week in 38 years. The highest temperature of the week was 70.2 deg. on Tuesday ; the lowest was 45.0 deg. on Saturday. The wind blew from the west and south-west during the first five days of the week, and from the north for the re mainder ; its horizontal movement averaged 110 miles a day. More than an inch of rain fell during the week ; of this large quantity for the season nearly half an inch fell on Thursday.

It has also been established from Mallow to Killarney, and it is the intention of the Magnetic Company to continue the wires from Cork to Queenstown. GAS LIME EXEMPT FROM TOLL.—An interesting point was decided at the Worcester petty sessions on Tuesday last. A toll-gate keeper charged Mr. Payne, a farmer, of Henwick, with refusing to pay toll on a load of gas lime. The defence was that gas lime is a che mical manure, which the statute expressly exempts ; and, after a lengthened examination, and hearing scien tific evidence, the magistrates dismissed the charge, considering this description of lime to be exempt. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. The Lords of the Admiralty continued their inspection after 4 o'ciocleyesterday, visiting the dockyard chapel, and proceeding thence by the officers' quarters, inspecting the various departments at the north corner of the yard, the new workshops, factory, &c., leaving the establishment for the George Hotel at 6 o clock. This morning they re entered the dockyard at half-past 11, and proceeded to the watering island, accompanied by the Rear-Admiral Super intendent and staff of the dockyard, when they inspected the works. They then visited the sail loft, where a set of improved cones for telegraphing, on Redl's principle, are in progress of construction under the directions of Captain Jerningham, R.N. These cones were worked by the cap tain yesterday from the dockyard semaphore to the Nep tune ordinary guard-ship, when Sir James Graham came into port from Cowes. They are most simple, and well adapted to the general purposes of signalling, and, under Captain Jerningham's able direction, will most probably at some future day supersede the mode of signalling now generally practised by complex sets of flags. From the sail loft the Board went over the rigging-house and conti guous storehouses, and thence to the office of the Admiral Superintendent, which they soon left again, and proceeded across the docks round the fitting basin, weere they saw the Contest, 12, Commander the Hon. J. W. S. Spencer, preparing to be paid off. They then inspected the ships building on the stocks—the Royal Frederick, 116 ; Marl borough, 131; Prince of Wales, 120 ; Royal Sovereign, 120, &c. ; thence round the steam factory to the new works at the north corner of the yard, the new prison, new guard house, new dock, &c., returning by the mould loft, and going into the factory, which they left at 3.50 for the Su perintendent's office. The Board then went to the Royal Marine Artillery Barracks, and inspected the head-quarters of that distinguished corps, under the command o f Lieu tenant-Colonel Phillips, whence they proceeded to their hoteL They were entertained at dinner this eveninc , by Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., Port'Ad miraL The Magicienne, 16, paddle-frigate, Captain Fisher, left Spithead this morning for Pembroke with a large party of dockyard riggers to assist in rigging and navigating the newly-launched 90-gun screw ship Cesar thence to this port, to be fitted for sea. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 6. The Vulcan screw steam troop ship, Commander Edward P. B. Von Donop, received the baggage of the three com panies of Royal Artillery under orders for the West Indies on board to-day, and tle companies will be inspected by the commandant of the garrison and embark about half past 6 a.m. on Thursday, and leave Woolwich at an early hour on Friday morning for their destination. It is in tended that the Vulcan shall call first at Bermuda, she will thence proceed to Barbadoes with the company for that station, and, lastly, to Jamaica, whence she will re turn home with the three companies relieved fromjforeign service in the West Indies.

TEA.—To-day there was a reluctance to operate in tea at the large public sales—black maintained previous terms. but a small decline was accepted for green, the difference being more apparent on Hyson. Of 30,03 pkgs offered 16,00 passed, and only 4,700 actually sold. Congou with all faults went at lld to is 2d per lb. RICE.—To - day privately little was done in East India rice, and 3,874 bags Bengal were taken in at 14s. for fine white, being the full value. GINGER Is not much wanted, and at auction to-day 113 barrels Jamaica went at 42s to 52s for ordinary to good ordinary, being rather under former rates.

SALTPETRE.—To-day at auction, 513 bags Calcutta only in part sold at 28s to 28s 6d for 51 to 4 per cent., being barely the former value. OILS.—In cod larger purchase - 3 have been made; still prices remain at 331 10s to 341 per tun. Seal has been in more active request, and there is a firm market, pale at 341 lOs to 351, and • other sorts 321 to 341. Of southern supply is not ample for dealers' wants, and 351 to 371 is the currency, according to quality.

TALLOW.—Prices for Rutsiau on the spot have been subject to little fluctuation since this day week, yet all parties operated with reluctance, there being large parcels near at hand, and money getting dearer. Fine P.Y. Candle, on the spot, is to be obtained at 508 9d to 51s per cwt. To-day tallow in larger demand, and prices higher ; fine P.Y.C. on the spot 51s 3d to 51s 6d. MORE Burros GOLD.—The Carlisle Patriot says : Mr. Calvert, the Australian geologist, pursued his re searches in Lanarkshire and Dumfries-shire, in both of which district he was successful in discovering gold. In the vale of Mennick, at the Glenclaugh Burn, about four miles from Wanlock Head, he obtained a piece of gold weighing 4 dwts. ; it was rough and of a dark colour. At Lead Hills the gold was of a lighter charac ter and rather smaller. It appeared to be general dif fused in the red soil resting on the clay slates, chiefly running north and south, intersected with quartz strings running in the same direction. Mr. Calvert found gold in about 14 burns or rivulets , mainl y tributaries of the Elvin Waters and Glengonnan. Some of the quartz looked at was auriferous, and had very fine gold dis seminated through it LARGE BLOCK OF MARBLE. —There has just been landed at Thames-bank, Pimlico, a block of marble, out of which will be worked the large tazza for the "Al hambra," in the Cry stal Palace. The block measures 10 feet by 8 feet 8 inches, and is 2 feet thick. It is said to be the largest block of Sicilian or Ravacione marble ever brought into England. It was imported by Mr. Thompson, from Messrs. Fabbricotti's quarries in Car rara, for Sig. Monti, the sculptor, who has to execute the work.—The Builder. IMPERIAL COURTSHIP.—A letter from Vienna, of the 31st ult., in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" We learn from a source worthy of credit that the rapid choice which the Emperor made of the Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria took place in the following way :—At Ischl the family of Prince Maximilian of Bavaria happened to be present at the Court ball. The Emperor appeared charmed with the Princess, and requested to be allowed a few minutes' conversation with her after the ball. At the end of a few instants the Emperor returned with the Princess leaning on his arm, and presented her to the company as the future Empress of Austria." cOUIVTRY MARKETS.
