BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS. The following testimonial Ls another proof of the great effl caoy of this medicine : "157, New Bond-street, Londo ,-, , Octo' , er 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln gcquaintlng you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S &JUT and . RHEUMATIC I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the pub'', who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every vs icty of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, am , in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro -ured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief'. and my sufferings can be appreciated only by th,:se who know some !nine of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. tot no time 1 , ) procuring a box, and before I had taken that quanta: , ihe pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in pertec health. 'From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which t, me Is so valuable, tha , were it not that the days of magic hay, ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree erect, but on the contrary I believe the te dency of BLAIR'S PILL , to,vards its improvement. tt I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result teas always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. "To Mr. Front, 229, trand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo' reux, &c., &c., GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, °piton, or any othe; cangerous drug, require no care whatever In their use, and tor ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

( Continued from The Sun of Aug. 29.) THE CONVICT QUESTION. 6. FEMALES. In. the ,foxgg9ing Calculations have,,generally, speaking, excluded females, for whom there has existed separate ac commodation at Millbank, which has not been included in the general returns, but the females in Ireland are included. The number annually sentenced to transportation cannot be ascertained from any returns to which I have access ; but those who have been received at Millbank prison, after an average detention of about six months, have been em barked with tickets of leave for Van Diemen's Land. An average number of 450 have been sent out annually from Great Britain on this plan, and about 400 from Ire land, making a total of 850. Assuming sentences of imprisonment to be substituted for transportation in the case of females, I conceive they might be subjected to a few months' separate confinement, according to circumstances, and then be employed in mo dified association at suitable industrial occupations, for periods proportioned to their respective sentences. If the present average number of 450 were sentenced to various periods of imprisonment, and an average of about 2 to 3 years were taken as data, accommodation for about 1,000, in addition to that which now exists, would be found sufficient. Under your lordship's authority, the prison at Brixton, formerly belonging to the county of Surrey, has been pur chased for 13,000/., and the additions and alterations which are now in progress will render it capable of accommodating from 700 to 800 females. Any excess above this number may probably be conveniently provided for in county pri sons. The cost of an assumed maximum number of 1,200 fe males, might, therefore, be taken as follows : Maintenance at 20/ Deduct earnings of 1,200 females, at say 4/ Total net cost of 1,200 females 224,000 4,800 In the event of any large number of well-conducted con victs being selected for conditional pardons, and embarked for Western Australia, or any other colony, I think it would be desirable that a proportion of females should from time to time be selected for the same destination, and that this point should be specially provided for in any ar rangements that may be made for affording a colony the advantage of convict labour. This plan would be calcu lated to reduce the amount of accommodation required at home. 7. DISP , )SAL OF CONVICTS. The foregoing explanation of the present system of dis cipline and management to which convicts are subjected in this country, whilst undergoing the first and second periods of probationary discipline, will, I trust, have sa tisfied your lordship that the measures which have been adopted are generally calculated both to deter and reform. The real difficulties in the solution of the convict ques tion commence on the termination of the penal discipline, when it becomes necessary to release the prisoners from direct control. A ticket of leave in Van Diemen's Land or Western Australia, has hitherto fulfilled several objects; and proved of the greatest advantage and convenience to almost all the parties concerned. The liberated prisoner has been placed in a spherei.where he would have the op. portunity of doing well for himself—the mother country has been relieved from all anxiety as to his future career ; and the colonies, however much they might object, on principle, to receive the refuse of a population, have un questionably de - Hvecl great and permanent benefits. The discontinuance of transportation to Van Diemen's Land will, however, close the main outlet by which these advantages have been hitherto secured. It may be said that we have only to send convicts to some other colony, or to found a fresh one, fjr the purpose of continuing the system. In taking a practi,..l view, howexe.Z.ALthe_Meptns of obtaining all that is required, it will ba apparent that it is only in a settled, prosperous colony, that there exists the means of absorbing the labour of a convict, whether under the modified freedom of a ticket-of-leave, or when he receives his pardon, or is released on expiration of his sentence. On this point, the only question that arises is, whether any colony so circumstanced, is willing to receive the con victs on the same conditions as Van Diemen's Land. If no such colony can be fonnd, it remains to be considered whe ther, with a view to combine the deterring effects of trans portation with the future disposal of the convict, an i fresh penal colony could be founded. If a settled colony urges objections which are admitted by the mother country, there remain only the alternatives of founding fresh colonies which wiil receive them, or releasing them at home, where, if really dangerous to society, they can be more effectually controlled than any where else. The objection to a purely penal colony is, that the same difficulty which is now under consideration will be sure to arise on the expiration of the sentence. If the neighbour ing colonies will not willingly receive such a class of convicts, the mother country will be obliged to fetch them home, or otherwise dispose of them as is now done in the case of the convicts at Bermuda, Gibraltar, and Norfolk Isl and. In considering the alternative, however, of releasing them at home, our own past experience is not, after all, so very discouraging. It must be remembered that until a very recent period all convicts under sentence of transpor tion for seven years were indiscriminately sent to the hulks, where it is notorious they were placed in circum stances that could not fail to be in the highest degree de moralising. After this course of training, they were, very generally, released with a free pardon at expiration of about one half the period of their respective sentences. The number so released was very considerable. In the years from 1843 to 1847, there were discharged by free pardon nc less than 3,450 so circumstanced. There can be no doubt that the greater proportion of them, if not originally bad, had be come so, and, generally speaking, more dangerous than men who had been subject to a better discipline. There could have been little chance of any such obtaining employment by their own exertion, and no steps were taken by others to obtain it for them ; and yet, though it might fairly have been anticipated that the consequences of such periodical additions to the criminal population would be seriously felt, so far as I have been able to ascertain, no material effect was produced. Since the subject of convict discipline has engaged the anxious attention of the Government, and ameliorations have been introduced, which would render the release of certain classes of criminals in this country comparatively harmless, there have existed great facilities for the dispo sal of all convicts in the colonies with tickets of leave. This has rendered unnecessary the consideration of any measures calculated to remedy the evils which might naturally have been expected from the former practice of granting free pardons after a course of training in the hulks. CONDITIONAL PARDONS AND OTHER MEANS. The change introduced of late years into the convict prisons, and experience of the favourable effects which have been produced on the general character of the con victs by an improved discipline, confirm the opinion I ex pressed in my third report for 1C49, that— " Looking to my own experience, and to the opinion of others who have had better opportunity of j udging, I do not hesitate to express my conviction, that it would be quite possible, without detriment to the public interests, mate rially to reduce the number of convicts to be annually sent abroad, by granting conditional pardons to the best con ducted men, after periods of confinement proportioned to their respective sentences, on showing that they had the means of earning their livelihood, or obtaining securities for their good co nduct." In the event of its becoming necessary to dispose of con victs on discharge in this country, I would further venture to repeat the suggestion that, as a means of giving more effectual security to the public, some of the restrictions enforced in the colonies on the holder of a ticket-of-leave might be advantageously applied to a convict receiving a conditional pardon in this country ; and that the system of demanding sureties for good behaviour might be more extencnsively acted upon. It is impossible to state the precise operation of such measures, or the extent to which they might be applied, but if the very worst characters were imprisoned for the whole term of life, or during their respective sentences, at some penal establishment at home, or in Gibraltar, or Bermuda ; others disposed of by tickets-of-leaven in Western Australia ; others released with conditional par dons, or encouraged to emigrate; and a portion drafted into companies of labourers under military discipline, as suggested further on, I believe that no sensible inconve nience could possibly be experienced. My opinion is founded partly on a general knowledge of the character of the convicts, the reformatory effects of the moral and industrial training to which they are subjected, according also rest o t n o a c h c o a n r a s dt e ele r rsora, ftathtniwthoe(hlheinericori:cor aofi c miiw u lhufi n vioat i nrwb s hei t om a vu n eet c nr e yt s and the means that would exist of dealing with individuals small Myconvictionsistthepro. portion of this proscribed race w hen com p ar ed with the f m i e z nAo j r n o at ti abstract y r ea ic o no f iun n c g r t i or ymf during o i a n n f a et any ad vantaget d urned lo o o s I s e on r m et e u n ni t, s t c o om co p m il m ea en b c y e again their career of crime. Mr. Redgrave will illustrate my meaning. I have given it i n th e Appendix, page 120, but the ,following g is the sub stance of it. In 1851 there were tried in England and Wales 27,960 offenders, divided into classes as follows :- Ist Class. Offences against the person, including murder, attempts to murder, man slaughter, rapas, assaults, &c. 2,21 Offences against property, committed with violence, including burglary, as saults with intent to rob, menacing lettere to extort money 3d „ Offences against property, committed without violence, including cattle and horse-stealing, larceny, receiving stolen goods, &c. 4th „ Malicious offences against property, in cluding arson, killing and maiming cattle 3O sth „ Forgery and offences against the cur rencyrency 803 ....................................... 6th ~ Other offences not included in the above 663 classes Totals .. 27,960 Of the above numbers, 2,895 were sentenced to various periods of transportation ; 18,695 were imprisoned, fined, &c., and 6,359 were acquitted. From the number sen tenced to transportation must be deducted one-third, as having been disposed of in various ways in this country, so that not more than 2,000 out of the 27,960 offenders were actually transported. It is further deserving of re mark, that of this number only 379 were under sentence for more than 10 years, just one i n 70 o f th e t o t a l number. To the gross total of 27*0 offenders, as shown in the abstract, Middlesex, including London, contributed as fol lows : Ist Class 2d „ 3d. „ 4th „ sth „ 6th „ 333 163 3,138 8 222 105 Total 3,974 Of the above number 422 were sentenced to various periods of transportation, 2,810 were imprisoned, fined, &c., and 742 were acquitted. Deducting one-third from the 422 sentenced to transportation, leaves only about 280 actually sent abroad. It appears from the above figures that not more than one in 14 of those who are tried in the course of a year are sent abroad. It cannot be denied that there is far greater danger to be apughended frog' the release of the remainder, who are-returriM upon society; and yet this circumstance appears to be altogether overlooked. My impress on is, that, if 1,000 prisoners who had un dergone an average period of 4 years' corrective discipline and industrial training were released in this country, they would not do so much mischief to society in a given time as another 1,000 taken indiscriminately from among those who are discharged at the gates of some of our large prisons, from which as many as from 8,000 to 10,000 are released in the course of 12 months. In former times, when convicts were confined in hulks, it would have been otherwise, but circumstances are alto gether changed. From the foregoing considerations, I am led to the conch'. pion that the extensive change of system, which has been un der consideration, is not likely to entail any sen sible inconve nience; and I am supported in my opinion by the views of the commissioners of Pentonville, recorded in their sixth report, signed by the Earls of Devon, Chichester, and Har rowby, Sir W. Molesworth, and others, &c. They say— " We conclude these general observations by a remark suggested by the joint consideration of the favourable and unfavourable circumstances in those reports. " These appear to ?is to demonstrate, that whilst the dis. cipline and instruction at Pentonville have not in all cases prevented the exiles from relapsing into crime when ex, posed to severe trials and demoralising associations, by fai the greater part of them have become useful and valuable servants, superior, we are told, to the average of free emi grants. " We regard this view of the subject as highly encourag ing, for it seems to prove that if this system were generally introduced, a large portion of our convicts would be quali fied, on their discharge, to occupy an honest position in their own or any other country ; and if so, we believe that; under ordinary circumstances, there would seldom be wanting motives of self-interest and benevolence to afford them that employment which would enable them to be. come useful and exemplary members of society." It is a great though a very common mistake to regard all who receiv 3 a sentence of transportation as being irre• claimably bad, and as being of one class, and sunk to the same depth of moral turpitude. The fact is not so. There is every shade of difference in character, as well as in the circumstances of temptation under which their crimes may have been committed. The experience of all who have the best opportunities of judging will, I am satisfied, coincide with the opinion of the House of Commons, 1850, as expressed in the following resolution : "That the committee concurs with some of the most ex perienced witnesses that have been examined, in the opinion that a great majority of convicted prisoners are open to the same good motives and good impulses which influence other human beings, and therefore, that a system of encourage ment to good conduct, and endeavours to inspire feelings of self-respect, self-reliance, and hopefulness for the future, which have been tried in some of our largest ests.blish ments, ought to be adopted, so far as it is practicable, without impairing the penal and deterring character essen tial to any system of imprisonment." FORMATION OF COMPANIES OF LABOURERS UNDER MILITARY DISCIPLINE. In considering the means of disposing of men who have gone through a proportion of the imprisonment that may have been awarded, and are eligible for conditional par dons, the formation of a corps of labourers under military discipline for service in the West Indies, or in Africa, or in other of the colonies, is not undeserving of attention. The moral results of the present system of discipline are such as to remove all doubt as to obtaining good and effi cielqprv4o from a body of_ men selected for inch a _IN F pose. My view would be to carry out certain minimum periods of probationary discipline, as at present. When the men might have become eligible for a ticket of leave, the re maining terms of their sentences should be commuted into service as military labourers. 'As they would all have been trained to certain trades, such a corps would be invaluable in colonies where labour was high, as the men might be employed at their respective trades and occupations in the same manner as the Royal Sappers and Miners and the late Royal Staff Corps. There would be great objections to their takin. , duty with the regular troops, but the same objections might not possibly hold good with regard to West India regiments. It would, however, be an object not to degrade them by the name of a "condemned regiment," but to adopt mea sures for rendering them thoroughly e ffi c i en t. By means of military discipline a more effici en t contro l would be maintained over all who were so disp ose d o f, than under any other plan yet tried, and 1 sh ou ld not hes i ta t e to re commend their services being applied w h erever they might relieve regular troops, or be other w i se useful. Whilst on this subject I cannot b u t advert t o a n objet tion which was urged at a recent period, when the possi bility of an invasion was talked of, and which, if the num ber of convicts were increased, would have greater force. It was held by some to be dangerous to have large masses of convicts assembled at Portland and in our dockyards and arsenals, and being required to offer an opinion upon the subject, my experience of the character of the men enabled me to state, that out of 6,000 men who were then under sentence, 4,000 could be produced who might be re lied upon to go wherever they were ordered, and to be as serviceable in the field as others who had an equal time for drill and exercise. Further reflection has not caused any change in that opinion. TICKETS OF LEAVE IN BA.IIIIADoES. Sir W. Colebrooke, Governor of Barbadoes, who has brought his great ability and experience to bear on this point, thus adverts to the operation of a system of tickets of leave in that island. His Excellency states in a dispatch to Earl Grey, dated June 9, 1831 : Of the number of those discharg e d with tickets of leave under the Act ( 13 Vic., c. 21), and the repor ts made to me of their industry and good condu c t, none have been reco mmitted for any offence, and th e g ran t o f good-con duct badges to prisoners has tended further to encourage orderly behaviour in the gaol. . " The success during the last two years of the act for granting tickets of leave has proved that under a reforma tory system of prison discipline, by which incentives good conduct are held out to prisoners, it is practicable, with the assistance of the magistrates, a id e d by a rural constabulary, to guard against the renewal of bad habits, in which discharged prisoners are exposed in populous places ; and adverting to the difficulties attending the de portation of convicts, arising from the reluctance of other communities to receive them as such, it is important to have ascertained that they can be corrected and controlled at home, although in many cases their voluntary emigra tion may be afterwards encouraged with advantage to themselves and the public. " One effect of a reformatory system of discipline in pri sons acting on the habits of convicts, and holding out to them the means and motives for improving their own cha racters, may be expected to be the removal of the popular objection to employing them when discharged with favour able testimonials of their conduct from the prison authori ties, and especially when withdrawn from the influence of evil associations by the surveillance exere'.sed over them as holders of ' tickets of leave ;' nor is it improbable that the reluctance to receive them as emigrants, in other commu nities where labour is in greater request, would yield to acknowledge that they had been previously restored to so ciety, without a renewal of their depraved habits and asso ciations." 8. MEASURES FOR ASSISTING DISCHARGED PRISONERS. In my second report, published in 1847, 1 observed that the difficulties inherent in the treatment of juvenile crimi nals were "increased by the consideration that it is of no use instructing criminal children, unless they are provided for in some way on discharge." The same observation is equally true as regards adult pri soners ; for it is t oo ob vious to need remark, that , ho wever they may have been led by the reflection which has been forced upon them in confinement, sincerely to deplore their past career of cr i me and to form good resolutions for the future, or with what ever dread of a prison, the stern discipline to which they have been subjected, may have inspired them, it is vain to expect they will be able to avoid a repetition of their offences, unless they can obtain the means of subsistence on discharge. What chance will they stand in the struggle against the pressure of wants which cannot be postponed, unless they receive some help in their search for employ ment ? Several establishments for this purpose havebeen formed, amongst which are the Philanthropic Society, which now carries on its operations at Red-hill, Reigate, that for fe males at Camden-town, one in Great Smith-street, West ininster, and a few others. The application of hundreds for admission into the last-mentionedinstitution under circum stances that preclude all doubt of the sincerity of their desire to abandon criminal courses, or at least to try the effect of a change, have been unsuccessful because of its scanty funds; and it is well known that some have been compelled to resort to their former pursuits. Private individuals, too, have in the most praiseworthy manner exerted themselves in this useful and Christian field of action ; and conspicuous amongst them i s Ai r. Wright, of Manchester, through whose sole instrumenta lity upwards of 150 prisoners have after their discharge procured situations. How rich the harvest of reward that has followed his endeavours may be gathered from the fact that, out of all these cases, he has heard of but one relapse. These voluntary efforts of benevolent persons are, how ever; wholly insufficient to meet the n ecessities of the case, and can accomplish+but a very sme ll portion of wh a t i s re quired. They have indicated the void in our social ar rangements which requires to be filled, and the great suc cess of the existing institutions proves their utility, and the urgent necessity, under present circumstances, for in creasing, their number. If only on the low ground of financial expediency, Go vernment would do well to second and stimulate these humane efforts. Many a man, whether from having been brought to see the errors of his way, or, from the dread of punishment, would gladly avoid again coming within the grasp of the law, if it were in his power to maintain him self by honest industry. Without friends, or the means of employment, what are they to do? That question de mands au answer. Sir W. Colebrooke well remarked, on a recent occasion of laying the first stone of a new prison in Barbadoes, that— " There is a duty which society owes to the discharged prisoner, which, until of late years, may have been too much neglected in all countries. The taint of crime is not readily removed, and the difficulty of regaining a place in society, when once forfeited, has caused but too many to relapse into evil associations. Some interposition is there fore needed in the way of prevention, and by placing them for a time under the surveillance of the magistrate, and in situations remote from temptation, they are better enabled to regain a respectable position ; and examples may be ad duced where this has been followed by decided reforma tion. "We should deceive ourselves, however, if we were to regard the subject as one in which there are not great dim culties to surmount, but which, for the sake of society, it is not the less our duty to encounter with a resolution to overcome them." • Within a few years there may, probably be 9,000 to 10,000 convicts undergoing imprisonment in this country, and perhaps 2,000 to be annually discharged on completion of their sentences. Of this number it may reasonably be anticipated that a large propor: on will do well for themselves, if only afforded very moderate pecuniary assistance. They may have friends or property, or a trade requiring but little capital to fall back upon, but very many will require the active hand of benevolence, or a comprehensive scheme under the control of the Government, for giving them some measure of assistance until they can provide for themselves. With respect to emigrants, many would gladly avail themselves of being -placed' in "tirenmstances to go away, some of them from a feeling that in returning home they would disgrace their friends, others from a desire of change and hope of making a fresh stars in life. The class requiring assistance in this country would pro bably be most difficut to deal with; but, if they were re leased with conditional,and not free pardons, and some sys tematic efforts were made to enable them to meet the diffi culties of their position, I should confidently expect a much more favourable result than might be generally antici pated. Rather than leave them to their fate, and to the chance of the Government being again burdened with the cost of a trial, and other attendant evils, I believe it would be desirable to retain the services, on public works, of such well-conducted convicts as could not readily find employ ment. They might receive rations and clothing, to be paid for out of moderate wages. It would be an object to afford every possible facility for their dispersion, as demands for their services arose, or opportunity offered. Their stay would be voluntary, and, from being accustomed to obe dience and discipline, there would be little difficulty in maintaining good order. This suggestion is the same in principle with that pro posed in a letter addressed by me to Sir George Grey, in October, 1849, with reference to the employment of con victs on remote works in Western Australia, from which the following is an extract : " On the important point of the means of employment, I would state my opinion that, though it would be quite practicable to execute any colonial work that might be re quired in the immediate vicinity of the penal establish ment, I see no ground for hoping for a favourable result in the application of convict labour at a distance. " I conceive, therefore, that the execution of the pro jected road by such labour should not be attempted. Any effort to maintain discipline among a body of convicts in a remote situation, where no effective means of control can be established, must of necessity fail, as regards the moral object. 1 ‘ Authority, duly supported, will induce submission, but, when authority cannot be exercised with effect, an tagonism and resistance take the place of submission. " In order to avoid the many difficulties and evils which may be anticipated, if anything of the character of a penal gang be established, and, at the same time, to accomplish the object of having the road of 60 miles in length made at a reasonable cost to the colonial or home Government, the principle of the convict system now in operation might, I think, under the favourable circumstances of the colonies, be extended in the following manner : " I would propose that the men on discharge from the penal establishment should be required to undergo a further state of probation before they should be permitted to engage in private service, or enter upon the full advan tages conferred by a ticket of leave. During this period of comparative freedom they should be obliged to execute a certain amount of work for the Government in such places as might be determined. " I would not propose they should he confined, or be under any kind of penal coercion. If they misconducted themselves in any way their probationary ticket of leave would be withdrawn, and they would only entitle them selves to release from the restrictions imposed by properly executing the work assigned to them, and by having con formed to such rules for their guidance as might have been deemed necessary. " The work executed might be measured and the value placed to their credit, to be afterwards applied in further %nee of the object of the Government and for the benefit of the men. " This probationary period would appear to offer the ,most favourable opportunities for bringing into effect the regulations established. by Earl Grey with reference to the repayment, by a ticket-of-leave holder, of the cost of his passage previous to his obtaining a conditional pardon. " If the men were encouraged by the work being esti mated at its full value, and that they received weekly, in addition to rations, a small proportionate amount of their earnings, to be expended at discretion, I have little doubt it would prove a powerful stimulus to exertion, if, as there appears reason to believe, it would be an object to them to obtain their pardon, with a view to remove from the colony. " The period of gaining this indulgence might be regu lated with reference to the demand for labour and other circumstances, so as to avoid having a greater number of ticket-of-leave holders on the Goveinment works, or in private service, than were required. " With reference to the execution of the work, facilities should be afforded to the men for building huts in conve nient situations ; a limited amount of bedding should be allowed ; they should receive rations at a fixed price, and be enabled, on the certificate of the superintending officer, to purchase provisions and clothing from the commissariat to a limited extent, proportionate to their earnings. "In fact, the system would be situ ilar to that in operation, in executing a sub-contract on a railway; each party would virtually have a small contract to perform, but there would exist stronger inducements to exertion and good conduct, and greater fear of the consequences of misconduct, than can be brought to bear on free labour ; or, if it were prac ticable to' let the execution of the road to a contractor, and afford him the means of obtaining the required labour, it would in some measure relieve the Government from responsibility, and bring into play the vigilant super intendence of persons watching their own interests. In such case, however, the governor should retain strong powers for protecting the interests of the men, which might otherwise be prejudiced by the cupidity of a con tractor, who would have different objects from those of the Government." The instructions given by Earl Grey to Sir W. Deni gon, with a view of carrying out the same principle in Van Diemen's Land, are given in his lordship's dispatch of 25th July, 1850, from which the following is an ex tract : " But if this rule of requiring newly-arrived convicts to take up their abode in the more remote districts is to be adhered to, it will, I am aware, be necessary to adopt some means by which employment in these districts may he insured to the convicts who are required to remain in them ; and I will proceed to detail to you the measures which I propose should be adopted with this view, and for the purpose of enforcing the regular payment by convicts holding tickets of leave of the sums charged against them. I have already said that, for the latter purpose, no such convict is to be allowed to pass from under the immediate charge of the Government until he shall have entered into a contract to serve for not less than a year some private employer, who will be responsible for paying to the Govern ment the required deduction from his wages, but convicts holding tickets of leave, who have been guilty of no mis conduct, and remain under the charge of the Govern ment only because they are unable to obtain private employment, are not to be subject to coercion in the gangs. The system I propose to adopt with regard to them is, that they should be employed by the Govern ment in such useful labour as can be found for them, that credit should be allowed them at the full rate of wages, obtainable in private service for the value of the work they may perform (which should invariably be task-work); but that, instead of being paid in money, they should receive such supplies as they might choose to draw for (including a reasonable proportion of tobacco and other articles, which may rather be termed luxuries than necessaries), the cost of these supplies being charged against them, and the balance of their earnings being credited to them in reduc tion of their debt to the Government. Assistance should be given to convicts placed in this situation, to provide themselves with huts in situations convenient for their labour, and, so long as they should continue to come regularly to their work, for the same number of hours as are usually expected from free la bourers, and to conduct themselves with regularity and propriety, no restraint should be placed upon their freedom of action during the remainder of their time. Of course, any attempt to leave the district in which they are placed, or a failure to come regularly to their work, or to exert themselves during the hours of labour with proper industry, should be immediately met by withdrawing their tickets of leave for a longer or a shorter time, according to the degree of their misconduct, and by placing them in the probation gangs, subject to the same discipline as other convicts who are in that situation." The Earl of Chichester, in his evidence before the se lect committee on prison discipline, in 1850, referred incidentally to an intermediate stage of probation, pre viously to the final discharge of the prisoner. His lord- ship observed : " Experience has, I thank, proved that those systems of prison discipline which are based solely or mainly on the theory of reformation, have failed in both the essential re quisitions of a penal institution ; I mean. they have failed to reform as well as to deter. There is, no doubt, much truth in what has been advanced by some of the humane advocates of these systems, but their principles and their reasoning apply to a state of things most desirable in itself. as an intermediate stage between one that is strictly penal and entire liberation, but which neither the present con dition of our penal establishments nor of our criminal code is qualified to admit." COST OF LAND IN LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER.— The trustees of the Liverpool Docks, having occasion to purchase 23,836 square, yards of land for increased ac commodation of the docks, had to pay for it 11. 2s. 111 d. per square yard, or a total of 33,1131. One thousand square yards required for the erection of a warehouse in Manchester last week fetched 10/. per square yard, or a total of 10,0001. 1 t ~~~~l~~c ,-- ,` C / PRICE SD. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 4. The Contest, 12, Commander the Hon. J. W. S. Spencer, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, from the East India and China station, to be paid off. She sailed from Trincomalee on the 15th of May, and the Cape of Good Hope on the 10th of July. No news from the latter colony. She brought home Lieutenant W. C. F. Wilson, promoted from the Winchester flag ship ; Mr. Harvey, surgeon (late of the Sphynx) ; Mr. Cave clerk ; and Mr. Daniels, naval cadet ; and seven invalids from all from the Winchester, and other from the squadron. On her way home from the Cape the Contest spoke the following ships;--The Hebe, from Cork to Calcutta, with troops on the 31 st of July, in lat. 2 13 30 S., long. 19 26 W. ; the Adele, French barque, from Macassar to Marseilles, on the 2d of Aug., in lat. 1 39 N., long. 22 30 W., 164 days out ; exchanged colours with an English brig, in lat. 31 19 N., long. 32 32 W. on the 17th of Aug. ; the Teviot steamer, from Southampton to the West Indies, 11 days out, on the 19th of Aug., in lat. 33 40 45 N., long. 32 05 15 W. ; on the 24th of Aug., in lat. 39 49 N., long. 27 34 W., exchanged numbers with the English steamer Thames, bound to the West Indies ; on the Ist of Sept. spoke the Red Gauntlet, and on the 2d her Majesty's ship Lon don. Having been th ree years an d t h ree qu arters in commission, the Contest (one of White's justlycelebrated sailing brigs) will now be paid off at this port, and her commander most probably raised to post rank on the visit of the Lords of th e Ad m i ralty this week. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.O B. the Port Admiral, returned f rom T orquay on Friday. night. The Rhadamanthu s s t eam troop - ship, Master. Com mander Belam, arrived yesterday morning with Major Young's company of Royal Artillery, from Jersey. She embarked Captain Elliott's company of Royal Artillery, frypa Pprtsnleptb_yq,today, and left with them last night for Devonport. The Sprightly, tender to Victory, Master Commander Allen, hauled into dock to-day, to examine her bottom, and which was found to be exceedingly foul and covered with weed and barnacles, which had impeded her pro gress more than a knot an hour, although it is not many months since she was in dock to have her copper cleaned. She will haul out on Monday. The Rolla, 6, naval apprentices' instruction-brig, Lieut.- Commander Fenwick, came into harbour this morning, from her weekly Channel cruise. The Dauntless, 24, screw-frigate, was taken into the steam basin out of dock on Friday, and is to be got ready for re-commissioning forthwith, it is said, by semi official report, to relieve the Penelope, as the flag-ship on the western coast of Africa station. We give this just as we have heard it, and as it is reported in the local paper of this day, but assuredly such a wanton dis regard of consequences cannot be entertained in high quarters for a moment. The Dauntless has already proved the coffin of one-third of her ship's company on the West India station, and now to talk of re-commis sioning her so soon after her return from that sickly region to send her to the professedly most unhealthy station under the pennant seems to us so horrible that we trust some official contradiction will be given to the rumour. HARWICH, SEPT. 2. Sir James Graham, First Lord, Admiral Dundas, and the Hon; W. Cowper, Lords of the Admiralty, and Sir, John Burgoyne, Inspector-Gesral of the Fortifications, arrived in our harbour this morning at 8 o'clock, in the Vivid, Commander Smithett, from Sheerness, which they must have left at a very early hour. After a sur vey of th e s hipy ar d and premises which belong to the Government, the party went up to the redoubt along with Major Moulsworth, R.E. and on their return were attend e d b y M r. W a lk er an d Dir. Cooper, the engineers, and Mr. Lee, the contractor, in examining the progress of the improvements, by which, when they shall be com pleted, the capability of our fine harbour will be much increased. The Trinity-house superintendent was in at tendance to inform their lordships as to the different buoys and lights near the entrance of the harbour. Their lordships a ft erwards crossed the harbour to Landguard Fort, whi c h th ey visited, and then returned to the Vivid, which immediately started for the river. DEATH OF CAPTAIN SIR W. C. H. BURNABY, BART. —The death of this gallant officer has been reported. Sir William Crisp Hood B urnaby was only son of the late Sir William Chaloner Burnaby, Bart, by Eliza beth, second daught er o f C r i sp Molyneux, Esq. Gar boldesham, county N or f o lk , and grandson' of ? of Admiral Sir William Burnaby, Bart., who successively held the chief command on the Leeward Islands and Jamaica stations, and died in 1777. He succeeded his father as third baronet, in 1794. He entered the Royal Naval Academy in 1803, and embarked Oct. 11, 1806, as mid shipman, on board the Montagu, 74, Captain Robert Wailer Otway, with whom, on proceeding to the Medi terranean, he assisted at the evacuation of Scylla, under a smart fire from the enemy on the Calabrian shore, and was afterwards actively employed in co-operating with the patriots on the coast of Catalonia, where he witnessed the capture of the fortress of Rosas. In Nov. 3, 1809 , was promoted to th e ran k of lieutenant, and under Captain Hatton, in the Port Mahon, took part in many warm encounters with the American enemy, particularly on the 20th of the following June, when, we believe, he contributed, in company with the Narcissus and Barrosa frigates, to the complete discomfiture, at the entrance of Norfolk river, of 15 gun-boats, that had been dis patched for the express purpose of capturing the Junon, after an action of three hours, during which the latter had two men killed and three wounded. He was pro moted, May 26, 1814, to the command of the Ardent prison-ship at Bermuda, and since May, 1816, when that vessel was placed out of commission, has been un employed. Sir Willia m B urna b y married May 2, 1818, the widow of Joseph Wood, Esq., of Bermuda, Mr. Rawson, the head master of the School for Royal Naval Shipwright Apprentices in this dockyard, has been appointed the successor of Dr. Woolley, in direct ing the mathematical studies of the school of mathe matics and naval construction, the Rev. Dr. Woolley having been appointed Admiralty Inspector of all the Dockyard Schools. Professor Rawson is a gentleman of acknowledged reputation in mathematical science, and his appointment is looked upon with satisfaction by all who desire to see those improvements in naval archi tecture still further developed which have distinguished the surveyorship of the navy of Sir Baldwin Walker. Sir James Graham. First Lord of the Admiralty, is at Cowes. He will embark to-morrow morning early in the steam-yacht Fire Queen, Master-Commander Paul, for this port. The fine frigate-built Indiaman Prince of Wales sails from Spithead this evening for India full of passengers and merchandise. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 3. Her Majesty's frigate Daedalus, 20, Captain George G. Wellesley, which arrived here on Monday from the Pacific, and sailed the same day for Portsmouth to land her dollars, after being detained by wind and fog at Spithead, returned to the Sound to-day. It seems strange, now that Plymouth has complete railway and telegraphic communication with the metropolis, that the nation could not be saved the detention and risk of the voyage, and the expense of a week's pay and provisions fur the crew of this frigate. Private merchants and ship. owners manage such affairs differently. In June last, when the steam-ship Sarah Sands arrived from the dig gings, although she was bound to and went on to Lon don, all her gold was landed here and sent up by rail way. The Daedalus has discharged her powder and shell, and goes up harbour on Monday to be paid off. Two fine emigration ships arrived yesterday, and sailed to-day far the colonies. Tne Waterloo,- Captain Greene, has above 900 tons of manufactured goods, ale, spirits, &c., and 35 passengers ; she anchored in the Sound about 5 p.m. on Friday, and departed about 4 p.m. on Saturday for Sydney. The Anglesea, Captain Thorn, has about 800 tons of general cargo, 35 cabin, and GO steerage passengers ; she anchored at 9 p.m. on Friday, and left 20 minutes after the Waterloo for Port Philip and Sydney. Both tnese ships, through the agent, Mr. J. B. Wilcocks, have in the short interval been amply provided with live stock, sheep, pigs, poultry, and other stores, and have embarked their pas sengers, among whom are many experienced colonists, who selected Plymouth as their port of embarkation. The Waterloo, which belongs to Messrs. Dunbar, left the port September 20, 1852, and reached Sydney Jan. 1, 1853-98 days. She started from Sydney on the return on the sth of March, and arrived home June 12 —99 days, having accomplished the voyage out and home in eight months and a-half. The Anglesea belongs to Messrs. Green. She was noted immediately at the period of her first departure as being five times as long as she is broad. The Anglesea left Plymouth on the Ist of September, and arrived at Port Philip in 94 days. She occupied 100 days in the return, with 29,000 ounces of gold, and arrived on the 17th of June. On this, her first voyage, it was found that too much reli ance had been placed on the fineness of her lines, and that nut sufficient canvass had been allowed. Since then she has been newly masted and rigged, her yards are more square, and her canvas has been increased nearly one-third. This alteration has greatly increased her sailing qualities ; she left the Downs at 2 p.m. on Monday, against a strong head wind, in company with an American liner, which she beat by 23 hours on the passage only to Portsmouth. , IRON LIGHTHOUSES. SEPTEMBER 4. Her Majesty's steam troop-ship Rhadamanthus, Mas ter-Commander Belam, which left Portsmouth on Wed nesday for the Channel Islands, arrived here this morn ing, at 11, with artillerymen, in exchange for those on duty at Devonport. A t noon to-day a paddle-wheel bark-rigged man-of-war, apparently homeward bound, was observed under steam inside the Eddystone at 12.30 ; when near the Mewstone she set her fore and aft canvass, the wind having veered from north-east to north. SHEERNESS, SEPT. 3. The Cyclops steam-transport, Mr. Charles Pope, mas ter commander pro tem., from Woolwich, was taken into the fitting-basin with the boilers and machinery for the Cressy, 80, screw steam ship this day. The Netherlands ship Jan Hendrik, H. de Jong com mander, was put out of the basin, and left here for Lon don in tow of the steam-tug Perseverance at 6 a.m. this day. DEVONPORT, SEPT. 4. The Daedalus, 20, Capt. Wellesley, returned to this port yesterday from Portsmouth, where she was sent to land her freight, at an expense t o the countryofa week's pay and provisions to officers and crew, as the . freight might have been landed here, and forwarded by rail with equal facility to that afforded at the eastern port. - W P A .

The figurehead, a splendid and gigantic bust of hii Royal Highness Prince Albert, was brought down the river on Wednesday last from Blackwell, where it wai carved by Mr. Hellyer, and the various pieces of which the figure will be composed are now lying under the bow of that splendid screw steam-ship preparatory to being put up in the proper position. Some idea may be formed of the large proportions of the figurehead wheat it is stated that the carved and finished head is three feet in diameter, and, although the figure is only a bust of his Royal Highness, it is 17 feet long. An interesting illustration of the extended purposes to which iron is applied in the present day was lately given at Messrs. H. and M. Grissell's Regent's Canal Iron Works. A cast-iron lighthouse ordered by the Lords of the Admiralty was lighted up for inspec tion. The tower and internal fittings were manufac tured by Messrs.

Around the outer edge of the balcony floor a flange 4 inches deep is formed, which shields the connec. lion of the ornamental brackets with the balcony floor, and the whole forms a circular abacus 15 feet in diameter as a capital to the tower. The shell of the tower consists of 60 concentric plates 1 inch thick, with flanges on the inside 4 inches wide, having holes to ' admit i-inch bolts, drilled every 6 inches apart, both in the horizontal and vertical flanges. In the centre of the tower a cast-iron column is fixed for support. ing the lighting apparatus of the Messrs.

There are three rooms in the tower, the first having a height of 16 feet 1 inch ; the second, 15 feet 8 inches ; and the third, 15 feet 3 inches from floor to floor of each room respectively. In each room there are four windows, having a strong oak case ment each, 16 inches square and 11 inch thick, glazed with polished plate glass 91 inches square. The en trance to the tower is by means of a doorway formed in the centre of one of the concentric plates, having a strong oak door opening outwards, as also do the win dows. The form of the lantern is octagonal, having a, diameter of 8 feet over the corners and a height of 11 feet to the caves of the lantern roof, which terminates in a cowl of peculiar construction. On the summit of the roof a conical pipe is fixed, in the inside of which is the foot step or pivot and the guide for the rod of the arrow vane, ' and fixed to the rod of the vane is a large hollow ball, having the conical pipe inserted into it on the un. derside, the ball being free to swing round the pipe ; the hollow ball is fixed to this vertical rod of the vane, a n d is perforated on that side next to the feather of th e arrow, so that the heated air and gases from the bur ners may always rush through the perforations into the partial vacuity created behind the ball by the force of the wind. The total height from the base of the tower to the top of the vane is 67 feet 6 inches ; the height from the base to the centre of the system of lights is 55 feet ; the total weight of tower and lantern inclusive is nearly 50 tons. ~t o'D3' rt /11'4. .•••• n yte.'
