The Earl of ELGIN gave notice that, on Tuesday nest, he should move for certain papers, and call the at- tention of their lordships to the state of our relations with the United States. THE SUCCESSION DUTY. Lord MO?.;TEAGLE called the attention of the house to certain returns, which had been moved for some time since, in reference to the Succession Duty. At the period the Succession Duty Act was pausing through Parliament it would be recol lected that it was calculated that the duty would return a very considerable sum. It appeared, however, that it had returned about one-third of the sum that had been estimated. The house must feel greatly sur prised when it was told that upon the order being served upon the particular department for this return, an answer was givea that no separate account of the Succession Daty was kept. The noble lord said he should take ano ther opportunity of calling their lordships' attention to the subject. INCOME TAX BILL. The Earl of DERBY gave notice, upon the second reading of the Income Tax Bill, which would possibly take place on Monday or Tuesday, he should make a few observations, which he deemed especially neces sary, as a dissolution of Parliament was so near at hand. SMUGGLING IN CHINA. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGB. called the attention of th,ir lordships to the supplemental treaty of 1847 with China, while moving for certain returns. It ap peared to him that when the Government ex acted such a very strict observance of the treaty from the Chinese, it behoved us to see whether we had been as strictly correct in the per forntence of our obligations which that treaty imposed upon us. The obligations were imposed upon us with a view of preventing smuggling being carried on with China. The noble earl then quoted several articles with a view of showing that we had, in a great measure, violated the obligations therein contained by allowing a contraband trade in opium and several other articles, which had been carried on fir a great length of time. In respect to reinforcements that were ordered out to China, he hoped they had gone long ago. If it was true, as was reported, the expedition had not left until the 10th of this month, tie was of opinion that it would prove an utter failure, for by the time it weuld arrive in India there would be no vessels at Madras, and very few at Calcutta, consequently there would be no means of conveying the troops to any considerahle amount. The demand would be little less than 20,000 tons of shippin g ,. Even if sufficient shipping were tound at the time, they would very likely be suet by as monsoon and scattered about. The arrangements for the preservation of the health of the troops on board ship would require great care, and it was absolutely ne cessary that proper awning for the troop-ships should be provided. The not is eat]. nex: - . proceeded to condemn the sending out of such large ships as the Shannon and the Resolution. Such ves sels, when they arrived at their destination, would be found entirely nseless ; and another thing that should also be considered in this country before these great ships left was the precautions that had been taken to guard against the action of fire-ships which might be sent against them. [LEFT SFEAXING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(iIia Evening.) The Smuum took the Chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following private bills were read a third time and passed —Exeter and Exmouth Railway ; Price's Patent Candle Company ; and the Whitehaven, Cleator, and Egremont Railway. The Portland Harbour Bill was read a second time, .and ordered to be committed. • Mr. LANGWORTHY moved that, in the case of the Salford Borough (No. 1) Bill, and the Salford Borough (No. 2) Bill, the examiners of petitions for private bills have leave to sit and proceed to-morrow.—Agreed to. Mr. FITZROY moved the standing orders, providing •for the suspension of private bills in the present session, and for resuming proceedings thereupon in the next session. The object of the motion was to put private bills in the same position in the new Parliament as they were in the present Parliament, a 3 to their progkess through the house.—Agreed to. TICKETS OF LEAVE. Mr. SPOONER called the attention of the Home Seca tary to the case of a man named Woolton. ' charged with burglary at Ashovcr, and asked if h e had received any information from the R.-c - irder of Birmingham that the burglar was well known to the police of that town, and that the learned Recorder had suggested to the, Horne Secretary the necessity of withdrawing the licence Sir G.- GREY said that in February, 1856, his . attention was called by the Recorder uf Birming ham to eighteen persons residing there with tickets of leave. Eight of them had conducted them selves well, and two doubtful. Of the remaining eight directions had been given to make inquiries re specting them. Three of them had since been com mitted and their tickets withdrawn, two had been con victed and sentenced to longer periods than their first convictions ; two had been cautioned, and one who had kept a disreputable house had been cautioned, and be ahandonea it. The remaining three bad been warned by the police that if they continued their course of life their tickets would be withdrawn. He bad heard no thing further of these men, and be supposed the desire of the Recorder of Birmingham bad been complied with and they had lett the place, for the crime of which Woolton was charged was committed at Ashover, in Derbyshire, and not at Birmingham. THE CRI3IEAN CONIMISSIONERS. Mr. J. EWART asked the First Lord of tlie Treasury if it were the intention of Gove rnment to make any ther recognition of the services of Si r J. lA'Nel a u n r d - Telloch in the Crimea / Lord PALMERS ['ON said that the Government had made what be conceived to be an ample recognition of the merits of the services of these gentlemen. They b a d been acknowledged in that house, and by letters to those gentlemen ; and,moreover, it had been intimated to them that it was the intention of Government to recommend them to the Crown to be presented each with a sum of 1,0001. as a more material acknowledgment of their services for three months in the Crimea. These gentlemen bad thought fit to decline that offer, and it was not for him to question their motives. It appeared to hi:a that the Crown had done all it could be advised to do. THE YEOMANRY. Mr. B . SEYMER asked the Chancellor of the 4. eheq ler, whether, in the event of the yeomanry cavalry not being called out for eight days' permanent duty during the ensu i ng year , h e was willing, in accordance with Precedent, to remit the horse duty to the enrolled members of the yeomanry corps ? The CR&NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that in the event of sufficient cause not being shown for the yeomanry cavalry bein g called out for eight days' perm anent duty, the Governmen t was prepared to ex tend the earne reli e f as on a form er occasion, and remit the duty for the ensuing year. - In reply to a que,.tion from Mr. LIDDELL, The CEIAIN CELLO R of the EXCHEQ that he would to morrow UER said, giv e an explanation o f w h at b e "sufficient cause." merit by a SMITHFIELD, Lord IL GROSVENOR for m r. Rer Seyrner asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the Govern- mem Was prepare d to givo effect to the recall-IT-no-L(l,mo, of tb Smithfied Committee, viz., " That the heat appro. priatiou for the general benefit of s o much et the s itu o f S Inn Wield as reverts to the Crown, would be to adapt it for tha enj )yment and recr eation of the pale ie." R said Tee CHANCELLOR of the EXCHFQUE that in Jify la 5t the report of the cumn!itteo was sent to th City Ifotneinhrancer, ieformiug him that it was intei ded to intro:luce into Etr:ialueLt a bill for appro priating the site of Smithfield. To that an answer was returned that the city authorities could not recognise the claim of the Crown to the land without its being substantiated in a curt of law. To prevent that pro ceeding, a suggestio n was made by the City authorities to make it a dead meat market, but the Government declined it, and requested the authorities to consider a plan fee appropriating it to public services. At, present no answer bad been received by the Government, the question being under the consideration of the City autho itiee. THE COUNCIL AT MALTA. Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies sNbether he had taken any stops to prevent judy,es holding the office of member of council at Malta? Mr. LABOUCHERE said it had been thought expe diezt to recommend that an order in Council be passed, by which in future the kites of the superior courts in Malta should not be eligible to seats in the Council. THE CAMP AT CURRAGH. Mr. COGAN asked the Under Secretary for War whether there was any intention to establish a mili tAry prison in connection with the camp at the Cur ragh ; and, if so, whether any steps had been taken as yet with respect to it I Mr. F. PEEL said that two propositions had been made for the establishment of prisons at Curragh—one for the erection of a civil prison, and the other for the erection of a military prison within the limits of the Camp at Curragh. No decision had been come to with regard to either of the propositions. SUPPLY. Mr. FITZROY brought up the report of supply granted yesterday.—Agreed to. THE CRIMEAN COMMISSIONERS. On the motion for the house going into committee Supply, Mr. PALK moved the following amendment : " That Sir John M'Neill and Colonel Tulloch ably ful filled the duty entrusted to them of inquiring into the arrangement and management of the Commissariat De partment ; that the evidence in their report proves that, in the months of December, 1854, and January, 1855, the sufferings of the army must have been intense, and that great mortality was occasioned by overwork and ex posure, and want of food and clothing ; that the examina tions into this statement by the Board of General Officers materially support the conclusions arrived at by th e Com missioners am to the want of organisation in the Quarter master General's, Commissariat, and Transport Services; that it appears to this house that, from the report of the board, this inefficiency must be attributed to the imper fect arrangement or conduct of those departments." Tne hon. gentleman at considerable length dwelt on the sufferings of the army in the Crimea, repeating the argu ments so often used in discussing the commissioners' re port. Mr. A. BLACK seconded the amendment. He hoped the noble lord would break through any invisible fences that prevented the Government from giving ho nour to whom honour was due. Lord PALMERSTON recapitulated the statements he had formerly made relative to the services of these gentlemen, and said that the pre sent motion was not the most useful applica tion of the time of the house. Had it been made, accompanied by the hon. member's speech, two years agr, it might have been appropriate, bat the troops had left the Crimea more than 12 months, and were then the admiration of the world, the evils he complained of having been remedied. Our loss there was less than that of our allies, and less in proportion to that of the Russians. They were mending for the better in the Crimea before the Commissioners went out. The medical commissioners effected more benefit to the army and the public than it was possible for the Crimean Commissioners to ac complish. The Chelsea inquiry was not a com mission of inquiry into the Crimean report, but a court for the officers who had left the Crimea before the Crimean Commissioners had arrived there, to exonerate themselves from those portions of the Crimean report they considered impugned their charac ter. The motion ought not to be acceded to at the pre sent time. Sir J. FITZGERALD rose to address the house and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) TBE egNTRAL AMERICAN TREATY. ( From the Washington Union, Feb. 21.) The necessity of firmly resisting all attempts to inveigle the United States into any partnership or co-operation with Great Britain in their policy with regard to this continent, and most especially so the States of Central America, is daily more emphatically demonstrated. The United States want no such partnership, no such co-operation. The right asserted by Great Britain to an interference with the affairs of Central America is either based on sheer usurpation or on pretences having no foundation whatever, or at least none that can sustain claims of such magnitude, and so vitally injurious to the United States. The acknowledg ment on the part of the United States that Groat Britain had a right to become a party in regulating their policy in relation to Central America, which was virtually done by the Clayton-Bnlwer Treaty, has been one great source of all the accumulating difficulties in that quarter. By her own interpretation of that treaty Groat Britain is abs.o. ' lately guaranteed in her right to the protectorate of the Mosquitos, while the United States are restrained in all future time, and under all circumstances, from making any acquisitions by purchase, cession, or conquest in Cen tral America, however necessary they may be to counter act the encroachments of Great Britain in that quarter. The United States have tied themselves hand and foot, while Great Britain is left free to pursue a system of intrigue, bullying, and encroachment, the inevitable consequence of which must be either the possession, or at least absolute control, of a region of more vital con sequence to the United States than half the world besides. And why was such a treaty made ? The ostensible object was to associate Great Britain as a guarantee of the free dom of the contemplated ship-canal to connect the Pacific , and Atlantic Oceans. And why was such a guarantee re quired ? The only parties to this great undertaking were the United States and the State of Nicaragua, both equally independent, and equally entitled to make such an ar rangement without the assent or co-operation of any other Power whatever. Yet Great Britain was invited to co-operate. She condescended to accept the invitation, and her co-operation has hithert o cons i s t e d i n th row i ng every obstacle in the way of the possibility of the completion of this great undertaking, both now and for ever. The United States have recognised her as a partner in the business, and given a right, or at least a pretext, to interfere. The Clayton- Bul wer Treaty has created an indissoluble entanglement, and so long as Great Britain continues toad on its owninter pretation of that instrument, and the United States content themselves with " argufying" the question, the one is free to pursue its insidious policy in Central America, and the other is in duty bound, according to the London Times, to pass neutrality laws which effectually arrest all efforts to correct the blunders of former Administrations. By making a catspaw of Costa Rica, which she has taken under her " protection," and incited to lay claim to one bank of the river San Juan, which she had formally relinquished by treaty, and by extending her Mosquito protectorate to the other bank, she is in a fair way of attaining the entire com mand of the great, the only connecting link of navigation between the Atlantic and Pacific, and with it the entire control of Central America. That she will do so, and that Gen. Walker is now almost the only obstacle to the success of the plot is, we think, becoming every day more evident. While the United States sleeps Great Britain is wide awake ; while one is triumphant in argument, the other is at work in constant action; and it may be taken for granted that Great Britain will be always willing to negotiate, while the United States continue in the meantime to ac quiesce in her doin g just as she pleases, and con t en t them selves with proving that she is in the wrong. The policy of Great Britain, though it may not amount to actual war, is directly hostile to the interests and honour of the United States, and is the m ore i ns idi ous an d i nsult i ng from being perpetuallyi coupled with professions of cordial amity and friendship. If resistance or counteraction should produce war, open war is better than secret hostility, and the nation which shrinks from that alternative from apprehension of its consequences must make up its mind to submit to every thing. Surely, some decisive stand should be taken to counteract, or, if necessary, resist this dangerous }ruder hand policy L. Central America. The Roya'ist brig was yesterday moored off Somer. set-house, having been completely fitted for a Thames Police Station. The Investigator, formerly used as a police-station, was towed to Woolwich, and is ordered to be broken up.

From the knee to the ancle it had severe wounds, so that she was unable to stand or move about the house. She tried a variety of means and applica tions, but without obtainitg a cure. By the blessing of God and using only three pots of Poor Man's Friend, and taking three boxes of pale, she was perfectly cured.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT. —AYLESBURY, March 11. CROWN COURT. (Before the Chief Baron.) Philip White, aged 45, the bill against wh om f or mur dering Mary White, his wife, was yesterday thrown out by the grand jury, was arraigned this morning on an other charge of an almost equally atrocious character— that, namely, of administering an obnfixious drug called hiera picra to Ann Seaward, on the 3d and 7th of Dec. last, with intent to procure a miscarriage. As this charge arose out of the inquiry into the cause of Mary White's death, sad but for that would, in all human probability, never have been brought to light, it may be desirable that the whole history of the prisoner should be disclosed. It appears that Philip White, who was a shoemaker by trade, lived in Chesham, where, havio b married in early life, be brought up a large family. Unfortunately his wife died, and, at the invitation of his eldest daughter, Ann Seaward, a girl of twenty, was induced to take up her residence in his house, in order that she might discharge the household duties in the intervals of her attendance at the silk mill in the town. This took place about 16 months back, and in a short time after the prisoner seduced his housekeeper. Indeed, report said that he had made improper attempts on the honour of his own child. Be that as it may, he succeesled but too well with the prosecutrix, and conti nued his connection until he took a second wife at Whit suntide, 1856, the woman selected for that honour being the mother of three illegitimate children by other men, the youngest being an infant, all which facts were well known to the prisoner, who undertook to support this burden. He seems, however, as might well be expected, to have grown tired of this charge and of his poor wife also, for he was often heard to wish himself unmarried, and as he was a year ago. About October or November last his wife went out to nurse at Chesham Bois Common, in order to gain the means of supporting her child ; and during her absence the prisoner induced Ann Seaward, with whom he had not ceased to carry on his illicit intercourse, and even with the knowledge of his wife, to come again and take care of things. During this visit the wife used to come home on Sundays and once in the week, and on the 3d Dec. being at home, she bought a quantity of arsenic mixed with soot, alleging that she wanted it to poison mice. What became of that poison is not known, except by inference; no trace of the packet or of its contents was ever discovered ; and it was c ear that Mrs. White that day returned to the common, where she remained till the 14th Dec., when her husband came and fetched her home, saying he could not get on with out her, Ann Seaward's attendance being uncer'ain, and her presence notalways pleasurable. The prisoner evinced feelings ofjealousy, and about this time asked Ann Sea ward to marry him, saying his wife had told him she should shortly die. When his wife came home she was suffering from erysipelas in her face, and after a few days, growin g worse, she took to her bed, and ultimately expired on the 28th Dec. The absence of any doctor till the last mo ment, when the poor woman's mother called in one, and some suspicious symptoms which gradually became known led to a coroner's inquest. Previous to this the prisoner had stated confidentially to his sister and a wo man named Mitchell that his wife had been accustomed to take arsenic, in order to procure a miscarriage, and when the coroner ordered a post mortem examination the prisoner frantically rushed out of the room and threa tened to blow sat his brains, saying he knew they would find arsenic, for his wife used to take it for the cause above stated, •and that they would bring it in man slaughter. During the inquest Ann Seaward was an important witness, and in the course of her evidence de tailing her intimacy with the prisoner and attendance on his wife during her last illness, she stated that, hav ing informed the prisoner of her apprehension that she was in the familyway by him, he said he could give her something to "set her right," and the next day, Dec. 3, he gave her 3d., with directions to buy oz. of what he termed " hicra picra." The girl obeyed, and having pro cured the drug (which was stated to be in common use among women as a cordial aperient, a dose being about 10 grains) placed it in the hands of the prisoner, who mixed a portion of it in gin and something else, and gave it to her to drink, saying that it would make her poorly and sick, but would set her riglst. The coroner's jury having eturned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against the pri• sonar, the present charge was also gone into, and he was committed to take his trial on both ; but, as has beea already stated, the grand jury ignored the bill for the capital offence. Mr. Dasent now, in opening the present case, en• treated the jury to discard from their minds all that they might have heard prejudicial to the prisoner in reference to his wife, and to confine their attention exclusively to the evidence which he would adduce in reference to the charge now immediately before them. The learned counsel then called— Ann Seaward, who repeated her former statement, and added that, by the directions of the prisoner, she had taken two dozes of the same mixture on the 31 and 7th of Dec., and that on both occasions she was sick at the stomach, and rendered incapable of work during the day; but experienced no further inconvenience. She also stated that, though she believed herself to have been in the familyway when she took the drug, she was now sa tis ed that she had never been in that situation. A medical man proved that the excessive quantity ad ministered to Cie girl was her safety, as she had evi dently thrown it all up on each occasion, and, in order to show that the prisoner knew the nature of the drug, the keeper of the Chesham lock-up stated that after the inquest the prisoner, among other statements relative to his wife's case, said—" I suppose Ann Sea ward is the cause of my being here ;" and afterwards added, "If I had a fast breeder I would give her some bicra picra if it would not hurt her." Mr: H. Mills having addressed the jury for the pri Boner, His Lordship left it to them, after having gone over the evidence in detail, to say whether they attached credit to the evidence of the prosecutrix, c'nfirmed as it was in a strong point by that of the keeper of the lock-up. The jury having without any hesitation returned a verdict of guilty, The Chief Baron proceeded to pass sentence. In so doing he enlarged upon the conduct of the prisoner, stating that, in his opinion, this was the most aggra vated case under the Act which he had ever met with. Without importing into it the recollection of the other and more serious charge now hanging over his head, but the bill for which had been thrown out, he thought the present case was one so serious as to call for the inflic tion of the utmost sentence sanctioned by the law, and, in accordance with that opinion, the sentence of the Court was that the prisoner should be transported for the term of his natural life. The prisoner was then arraigned on, and pleaded "Not Guilty" to, the coroner's inquisition. Mr. Dasent, with whom was Mr. Keane, stated that, as the grand jury had in their discretion thought proper to throw out the bill which bad been presented to them in support of the capital charge against the-prisoner, he did not think it right, as representing the Attorney• General,. that any evidence should be offered in support of the in quisition. In his opinion such a course would be both unusual and disrespectful to the grand jury, and there fore subject to the sanction of the learned Chief Baron, he would withdraw from the present charge. The Chief Baron, having expressed his concurrence in the course proposed by the learned counsel on behalf of the Crown, Eli one which wai both usual and correct, lirected the jury to acquit the prisoner. The jury thereupon returned a verdict of Not Guilty on the coroner's inquisition, and the prisoner was at once removed from the dock. George Dixon, 22, and George Hearn, 21, were in dicted for night poaching at Ellesborough, and also for feloniously assaulting the keepers of Lady Frankland Russell on the B.h of December last, Mr. Stephenson was counsel for the prosecution, and called the two keepers, who stated that on the night in question, being out watching with a large muzzled mas tiff, near a wood in which was a great store of " long tails," they distinctly heard the report of three guns dis charged ira rapid succession. On entering the wood they saw some men running down aglade, and, unloosing their friend the dog, they set off in pursuit. The dog soon overtook the poachers, who wore four in number, and knocked over three of them, ono after the other, by jumping upon them, but without injuring them, being still muzzled. By the time the keepers came up the poachers had recovered their legs, and then a " battle royal" en sued, which resulted in divers broken heads and guns. _ . The odds being so decidedly in favour of the poacher; the keepers, after sustaining an unequal contest for some minutes, at last cried, " Hold, enough !" and the poachers, taking them at their word, cased from fur ther molestation, and all marched out of .the wood, while the keepers and their quadrupedal ally wended their way homewards. The question, under those cir cumstances, was whether the prisoners were clearly identified as having participated in this affair. On this theme Mr. Mills addressed the jury, who, after a brief deli beration, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—.Yong, March 10, CIVIL COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) ADAMS V. LONGBOTTOM. Mr. Knowles, Q C., and Mr. Cleasby appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Jones for the defendant. This was an action for a breach of promise of mar nae. The defendant denied the promise. The plaintiff, a young woman of 23 years of age, was one of a large family, and carried on the business of a dressmaker in the neighbourhood of Leeds. The defen dant was a young man, son of a person who was said to have made money as a railway contractor, and the defen dant hims'lt was engaged in collieries. The parties ap peared to have become acquainted two or three years ago, and the promise to marry was clearly to be inferred from several lstters of the defendant, abounding in the most fervent, amatory expressions and aspirations of a lover. A brother of the plaintiff was called as a witness, and spoke to the visits of the defendant to the plaintiff, and to his being received byher family as an accepted suitor. Suddenly his visits for some came or other ceased, and ho nf used to pf rforrn Lis engagement, although he de clared that he bad no complaint whatever to make as to the plaintiff's conduct. Ou behalf of the defendant Mr. Jones urged that this was the case of two young persons, after a short court ship, quarrelling, and finding that their tempers did not harmonise. Under such circumstances it was perhaps best for both parties that matters had not gone further. The learned Judge, in summing up, observed that the promise on the part Of the defendant having been proved the plaintiff was best able herself to determine whether the performance of it would be to her advantage. The jury, taking all the facts into their consideration, would give such temperate damages as they thought just. After a abort consultation the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 250/, THE RECORDER OF FALMOUTH ON LSE PRINCIPLES OF PUNISHMEA T. 1 The following remarks on the principles upon which punishment should be regulated in the administration of criminal justice are extracted from the charge to the grand jury by the new Recorder of Falmouth, Mr. Cox. After remarking upon the growth of crime in defiance of all the remedies which had been relied upon for its pre vention, he said, " It was confidently asserted that edu cation was a cure for crime ; we have multiplied educa tion tenfold. More churches, better pastoral care, were supposed to be the right remedies ; we have built new churches by hundreds, and never were the c l erg y o f a ll denominations so zealous in the discharge of their duties. Criminals were not properly disciplined, it was said; well, we have !melt prisons and penitentiaries whose discipline is perfect. If these were the preveetives or the remedies for crime, there would have been a decrease of crime in precise proportion to the increase of schools and peni tentiaries. But it has not been so ; on the contrary, crime is increasing. What lesson should this teach us ? That we have not yet learned the causes of crime, and until we have come to some better agreement on this tkere cau be no substantiarimprovement—our treat ment of it must be empirical. But this is a question for the philosopher and for the statesman. We are engaged in the administration, and not in the making of the la ; that is the subject which concerns us here. It is fir the punishment of crime that this court is assembled, and that is the subject upon which it is my province to ad dress you. It is one of the means, and not the least im portant, by which we hope to prevent crime; and there fore it is extremely desirable that, if it be possible, punish ment should be regulated by something like rule, and that criminal courts should be guided by some recognised principles in the awarding of it. I fear it is not always so. Punishment is too often merely arbitrary. In two courts, sitting side by side, very different degrees of punishment are often awarded to offences almost identical in charac ter. The measure of punishment at the quarter sessions is usually very different from the measure of punishment at the assize. One judge is severe and another is lenient. This should not be, for punishment should be as definite as crime; the criminal in intention should know what he has to fear if he carries his purpose into act. This variety of treatment proves, I think, that, for the most part, punishment is not regulated by any rule, and I have heard It said by judges and magistrates that it is impossible to lay down rules—that every case must be determined by its own circumstances. I have had some expe rience for many years in criminal courts, and I have been obliged to give much thought to the subject, and these have led me to the conclusion that the punishment of crime can be reduced to rule. Ido not mean an in flexible rule, like that formerly held that every forgery should be punishable with death and every sheep-steal ing with transportation ; but that criminals, not crimes, may be classified for the purpose of punishment, and rules applied with such variations as the circumstances of each case require. As it is my purpose, with your assistance, to carry out these principles in the adminis tration of criminal justice in your borough, I am desir ous of stating them on this my first occasion for addres sing you, that they may be understood by all, and that when sentences may be known, and that offenders may know what they may expect if they bring themselves into this court. For the purpose of punishment, crimi nals, as it appears to me, Aiay be divided into three classes ; Ist, the Juvenile Criminal ; 2d, the Accidental Criminal ' • 3d, the Professional an d I ncorr i g ibl e Cri minal. The juvenile criminal is almost always an object for pity. He is usually a criminal from wan tonness, or ignorance, or evil example, and sometimes even by the command of parents. Many of you have children, and all of you have been children ; you know how, with the best training, children will err, and what could be expected of the children who are cast upon our streets, uncared for, uninstructed in their duties to God and man ? They have no friends, and it is our duty to become their friends, and treat them as we should treat our own children—if the offence is through wantonness, give the boy a whipping and let him go ; if it be the result of wickedness, send him to the reformatory, where he may be taught his duty to God and to his neighbours, the consequences of crime and the ad vantages of honesty. But this teaching cannot be given in a few weeks or months. It must be the training of years. Hence the necessity of pronouncing upon him a sentence which may seem excessively severe, but which must be understood as meaning only that he will be con fined to the discipline of a school, and not in the conta mination of a gaol. By the accidental criminal, I mean all that class who commit crimes from sudden temptation or passion, or impulse. It appears to me that such are en , titled to a merciful consideration, in deference to the weaknesses of human nature. Unless their crimes have been accompanied with circumstances of aggravation, as violence, or deliberate forethought, or breach of trust, in the measure of their punishment justice should be tem pered with mercy, and especially if it be a first offence, in hope that the warning may not be lost ; but this mitiga tion should be more or less according to the amount of aggravation in the offence. With the tbird class—the pro fessional criminals, in which I include not only those who make crime a profession, but hardened offenders, on whom punishment has been tried and failed, I would dealin quite a different spirit. Mercy to them is cruelty to the pub lic. To turn them loose upon the society of which they are the sworn enemies, whatever their promises of amendment, seems to me to be madness. There are but two ways of dealing with them—to imprison them for life within our shores, or to banish them for-ever from the community they are preying upon, and among whom they are propagating crime. But Ido not believe that imprisonment for life would be sanctioned by the huma nity of the country. There remains, then, wily banish ment, or transportation—call it which you please. Se verely punish them for a time here ; then let us send them to a penal colony, where they have no inducements to continue criminals, and every inducement to a new life. But it is said that no colony will take them. Then let us create new colonies for the purpose. With pos- sessions in all parts of the globe, there must be room enough for our annual five or six thousand of incorrig ibles ; and for the means—as we made penal colonies I before successfully, surely so we can make them again. I trust, therefore, it will be generally known in this bo rough that if I should be satisfied that any criminal tried before me belongs to the class of professional thieves, I shall inflict upon him the very highest punishment thelaw will permit, whether it be his first detected offence or nut. In the case of accidental criminals, I shall always be glad to consider circumstances of mitigation ; and in the case of juvenile offenders I shall either order summary punishment by whipping, or give such a sentence as will secure their transmission to a reformatory. But to enable me to carry out these principles of punishment, it is ne cessary that I should know something of the prisoner's antecedents. Admitting that these ought not to be allowed to influence the trial, it has always appeared to me that, after conviction, and for the purposes of punishment, the inquiry is most important. I will therefore ask the ma gistracy and the police to assist me in this object by in vestigation into the previous history, habits, mode of life, character, conduct, and means of obtaining his liveli hood, of every prisoner sent here for trial, so that they may be taken into account when determining his sen tence. There is another subject ou which lam desirous to address a few words to you. A recent statute has empowered a summary conviction of small larcenies ; it has worked well within its limits, but an evil has re sulted from it which was not anticipated ; prosecutors, to save trouble—justices, to save expense, and prisoners, to save themselves from shame and punishment, have combined to push the act beyond its intention. Crimes of much large* amount than the language descrlhes are, by a contrivance, brought nominally within the jurisdiction, and disposed of in a small room before few witnesses, without the shame of a public and solemn trial. I have no doubt that the forms of a court of jus tice are viewed with very great awe by the classes from which criminals for the most part come. They fear the shame of standing at the bar in the presence of their friends and acquaintance, and witnessing the agony they have brought on their families, far more than any punish ment the court can inflict. This fear, and the t xample of it, is destroyed by a plea of guilty in a magistrate's room, and, therefore, the act which permits it will do great harm, if it is not strictly confined to its proper ob jects, very small larcenies indeed. For the same reason these local courts of Quarter Sessions are so useful, be cause many a criminal, who would not care to be taken to Bodinin and tried in a court where he does not see a face he had ever seen before, would fear to be tried here, where every eye that looks upon him with censure is that of an acquaintance. And I hope before long that instead of limiting the trials in these courts to the limit of the borough, all prisoners committed within a circle of ten or twelve miles round, will be sent for trial to the Borough Sessions, wherethe offence and its punishments may be seen aad known by all those who form the public, which alone they recognise and fear. So all of us giving help according to our various means, we may hops, with the bleesing of God, to see this awful tide of crime turned, and our country purged of the terrible plague-spot that rebukes our pride and shames our boasted civilisation." LAMBETH BAGGED SCHOOLS. 1 We were agreeably surprised on Tuesday evening, by t ;,s result of a visit to an entertainment given by Mr. W . i t , Miller for the benefit of his extensive Ragged School in i3,,,:ehty-street, Lambeth. If any of our readers are acqti7ainid with the locality in question they will probably expect to o:ar that the school is located in the dark recess of some railway areb, or in the mys sterious precincts of a deserted dwe.l.l")g in some gloomy 1 alley unknown to fame. If such be tto: ex p ec tations of at our readers they will be surprised to learn to., the struc ture devoted to the use of the Lambeth Raggei2 S c h oo l is a spacious and handsome building, lofty and we , : . signed, having quite an imposing appearance comyarea to the general architecture of Doughty-street. Oa 451 1 : tering the principal room last Tuesday evening we found that the length and breadth of it was crowded with a dense mass of spectators, while more were striving to enter at the doors, On a platform at one end appeared Mr. W. H. Miller himself, the earnest, hard-working, pleasure-making superintendent. As we entered we just heard the conclusion of a bPautiful vocal introduction to the proceedings, and wondered whence it proceeded, for we discerned no choir. Mr. Miller was reciting some original poetry, which seemed to amine and interest hiq audience to no smelt extent. We looked round to see where the ragged scholar s were located, but co uld only discern a vast assembly of res p ectable indiv iduals, any thing but "raged" in their appearance. Our perceptive P owers were also limited i n their e xercise by the gloom and obscurity which envelo p ed the g r eater part of the platform,audicnee the gas only being lit in the vicinity o f th e in order to give greater effect to a moving panorama, exhibited by the lecturer.

A' b e passed from his poetry to prose, we became incre as!s g . interested in hi s grapbic and off-hand deli nea t i one 0 ' character, and his vivid description of foreign clime!. Presently a sentiment was suddenly taken up 4 the invisible choir, and a beautiful vocal melody o bur; upon the ear, sung by 44 teachers of the ragged boo lot, the singers being located close to the foot of the form.

He had his hits a t th e f o lli es o f the day, r" h ,d illustrations of moral and religious s e ntiments; his songs, his parodies, hi s recitations, his dramatic ret, derings, his anecdotes, &e., the whole being characteris: by an easy confidence of manner, and a certain 12°der t . two of carriage, which sho we d th a t it was no oue to bank, but a real lover of his kind, who an d to bloo d minister to the happiness of the boor, amusement with instruction. The audience ser e ne equally at home, and alternate laughter and a PP 4u eel i d was stela testified their approbation of the entertainment Pr ° ,% e lf for them.
