THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 24, 1846.

-4 few—whose moral state is so completely disordered
that neither penal nor reformatory treatment can effect
a cure. These dangerous pests—net confined to one
sex—are perpetually moving between the beer-shop, public-
house, or other public come, on the ono hand, and the
prison on the other. Fiity-one of these degraded 'manses
have re-entered the jail a second or a third time within the
year embraced in this report. The third table, which gives
snore particular information relative to them, shows that 14
of the female offenders belong to a certain unfortunate
class ; and of the 35 males, 31 are habitual drunkards. The
year ending last midsummer, though one of great prospe-
rity if compared with former years, has not been so be-
neficial to the working elasa,with regard to employ and
wages, us the year ending Jude,n 1845. Uccupatioo in the
hotanes has not been so readily obtained ; many hun-
dreds of hand-loom weavers helm been out of employ,
and the strike among the building trades, though
felt more prejudicially in Manchester and Liverpool, has
made its ill consequences perceptible in this district, and
even affected the committals to gaol ; so that whatever check
criminality may have experienced iu the past year is not
due to any increamed sources of honest occupation, or even to
the continued activity of all those open in 1841-5. That
moral disinter has become more and more repressed by the
wider ditfusal of religious education, I am fully satisfied ;
bat it is not in my power—or province—to show that, so
much as it is my duty to adducer evidence of the degree to
which it has been checked by pursuing a wiser course in the
treatment of those who have been labouring under it. It
was once a truth so fully recognised as to become pro-
verbial, that " a criminal came out of prison worse than
ho went in." To the young criminal the proverb bore
• special application. His vicious elucation, begun
in parental poverty, or neglect, or bad example,
was completed in jail. Leaving that finishing school of
crime, he carried out with hint a spirit which contaminated
the companions of his labour' or his idleness, and even the
members of his family, He became a local centre and agent
of demoralization. If unable to renew the associations which
he had formed in prison, he orreaniserl new ones from fresh
materials ,• he gathered round him a gang of idle or neg-
lected lads, who, interested in his prison stories, and emu-
lous of the hero's of them, without either parents or prin-
ciples to save them from the danger awaiting them, soon
became active in crime. " I had too much occasion to
remark," says the Rev. Mr. Clay, " in my report for 1838,
that there is a greater tendency to mutual corruption among
the young than among the mere advanced in lite. When a
boy is re-committed for felony he is frequently accompanied
by ono or more delinquents ebnut his own age, whom he
has :duces' into crime; but this is seldem the case with
prism:cm of mature age." So far back as 1831, when the
population from which they wire derived was only 286,400,
of sixty-four boys under twenty years of age, indicted at
these sessions for felony, thirty-seven were associate--1 in
gangs (four of them emanated of four boys each). In 1837,
forty lour boys were so connected ; in 1338, forty-two ; and
each group of young criminals comprised a leader, duly I
qualified fir his post, by a previous training in good On
conviction, the adept was transported, and his pupils sen•
tensed to a short imprisonment, which sufficed, however, to
complete their training in crime, and in due—i. e , a very
short—time, to render them ripe for transportation. It
was thus that crime was propagated and punished, and a
stream of demoralization poured into some of our most
valuable colonies. imu unconscious of the slightest exagge-
ration in the foregoing stat.ment. For snore than twenty
years I have seen a house of correction operating as a semi-
nary of sin ; and wherever the association of prisoners is
permitted, there the work of corruption is still going on !
But if I have often deplored my inability to stimulate atten-
tion to the subject, and procure • remedy for the evil, I have,
at last, the satisfaction to know that whatever lingering or
caution there may have been in moving along the path of
reform, the authorities of this gaol were not only among the
first to recognise the necessity for abolishing asseciatien
among convicted prisoners ; but, as I believe, were the first
to take the most momentous step aver yet token in prison
reform, by sanctioning the individual separation of the
untried. Let us look at the results of this separation,
and we shall find the moral condition of the discharged
prisoner now, in most happy contrast with what I have at-
tempted to describe above. The prisoner is not now dis-
charged from his confinement with an imagination heated by
the tales of successful plunder which lie has heard in " the
yard," and with a determination to rival the exploits of Tur-
pin and Sheppard. Now, instead of excitiug others to crime,
he is himself desirous to forsake it. He has no stories far
his acquaintance redolent of the tread-wheel and trial yard ;
but when he speaks of prison, he speaks of stern, but whole-
some restraint; of friendly admonition, of the good
thoughts which came into his mind when alone in his cell,
of his grief for the grief he has caused to those who loved
him, of Ilia penitence for his fault, of his prayers fur
forgiveness, and of his resolution, by God's grace, to
sin no more. But it is necessary to advert to the facts on
which I have founded my belief of the great advantages—the
great blessings—arising from the improved discipline of this
Tail : —l. The number of young persons, of both sexes, under
20 years of age indicted at the Preston sesbions during the 16
years ending '3lst Dec., 1844, amounted to an average of
more than 98 annually ; and of these more than 18 (18 5),
were annually sentenced to transportation. But if the en-
quiry be restricted to the latter half of the period mentioned
—to the eight years from 1837 to 1811 inclusive, the annual
indictment* average nearly 130 (120 7) and the transportations
23 5! In contrast to this amount of crime and of severe pun-
i sliMent, th e first year of improved discipli neat 815, recon:s only
71 indictments of youag criminals, and only ten sentener a of
transportation.-2. Wi:h regard to offences now committed
by associated young thieves; during the year ending last
June, only 38 boys under 20 years of age have been tried (in
1825, 34 under 17 were tried). In only four cases did the
parties act in concert ; and in each of these was recognised,
as a leader, a boy trained to his vocation during a former
imprisonment under the old system. Even with some of
these, a separation for six months from all evil influences,
aided by regular instruction in reiaious knowledge, bas been
effectual in producing amendment ; and of those who have
been young in crime, and who have never been exposed to
prison contamination, not ono has returned to gaol under a
criminal charge.
ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MANCHESTER AND
LIVERPOOL RAlLWAY.—Tuesday night a collision took
place on this line, at tho station near Parkshle, by whirls
one of the servants of the company was killed on the spot.
The man was brakesman in charge of a waggon-train, mid
was what is termed " slipping ' along the line, the frost
preventing the wheels from properly bearing upon the rails.

LORD 31ORPETII ON EDUCATPIN TIT Till: S rams—YU:LK,
WEDNESDAY, NOON.—The annual meeting of the York and
Ripon Diocesan Board of Education was held yesterday in
this city, Lord Morpeth, M.P., in the chair. Lord Wenlock,
G. Hudson, Esq. (Lord Mayor of York), the
Ripon, the Archdeacon of Cleveland, Archdeacon Wilber-
force,r-
and others, took part in the proceedings. Lord
Morpeth, in returning thanks at the close of the meeting,
said—Of course, I fed that in this piece and on this occasion
it will not be fitting in me to enter ant) any of those contro-
verted questions which have excited public attention of late,
to a considerable extent, and which may be mode the subject
of discussion, and p ',sandy of difference, in the legislature.
I will not encounter the topic as to how fax the state
ought to act—how far the state ought to move—
or how far the state ought to stand aloof with' respect
to the education of the people. I may, perhaps, with-
out incurring the impatation of great rashness, venture
to conjecture that the fittest course to pursue would be, not
that which is indic ded try an extreme view on either aide of
the ease: I think it certainly possible that the state may
meddle too much ; for, in dealing with such a question, as
in the ease of the dinner which we are not to eat (r. (erring
to a dinner projected, but postponed in consequence of the
state of the weather), there is always the double risk of
things being overdone and underdone. (Laughter and am
plause.) Bit I will certainly further venture to say that
with respect to the country at large, I am not satisfied with
the exact state of things which prevails at present. I think
there is a call for more schools than we have. I
think there is a call fir better schools than many of those
we have. (Hear.) I think that many of our systems are
still imperfect; that many of our masters are ill-qualified
for their office, and almost all less well paid than we should
wish to see. (Applause.) And speaking here, in the
midst of this in-titration, and in this conaely and suitable
building, in which I am now glad to see tt housed, I for
one, do not regret the assistance which has been conferred
by the state, in addition to local contributions, and private
munificence. But cue thing, I think, is absolutely clear,
and in stating it I may challenge contradiction, that what-
ever the state may do—whether it shall leave the work of
education ea:rely alone, or whether it shall proceed so
far as the most venturous interferers would wish, it is
quite plain that there would still be much more left
to
be done—there would be still much more which
private effort, private superintendence, private generosity,
must always do the best, and will frequently alone be able
to do. (Applause.)
ESCAPE OF A PRISONER FROM WAKEFIELD GAOL, AND
RE.CAPTCRE.—On Saturday evening, a young man named
Joseph Ibbotson, made his escape from the Wakefield House
of Correction, to which he had been committed for two
years, at the last York assizes, on eachargelof passing base
coin. He had broken through 'the roof of a privy, and,
after climbing over several wain, precipitated himself, from a
height of about six yard., to the ground. His escape, it is
said, must have been attended with imminent danger. His
flight having been discovered, information was sent to the
neighbouring towns; and on Monday evening, about half
an hour after receiving notice of the occurrence in Man-
chester, the prisoner was in the custody of Mr. Super-
intendent Taylor, by whom he was given up to the governor
of the Wakefield prison. He had been twice convicted at
the borough sessions in Manchester, being, on one occasion,
sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the New
Bailey, and afterwards confined for twelve months in Lan-
caster Castle.
INCREASE OF VAGRANCY AT LEEDS,—The pow r-
commissioners have just called for a comaarative return of
the number of vagrants and trampera relieved in the work-
houses of the several unions during the week ended on the
19th Dec. 1846, and the week ended on the 20th Dec. 1845.
In the township of Leeds, the 'return exhibits a remarkable
increase in the comparative numbers, as will be seen by the
following

PROVINCIAL.
LANCASHIRE.
SANITORY Aer.—After the first of January the smoke
(non all the furnaces, ream-engines, bakeries, and factories
in Liverpool, must be consumed, or heavy penalties be paid
by their proprietors. Notices to this effect have been sent
out by the towmelerk t i all tho owners or occupiers whose
premises or ream-vessels will come under the operation of
the act. The act, on this head, is very comprehensive.
Smoke must not merely be consumed on board al ;then riie.r
steamers, but likewise on board all steamers plyig o the
river Mersey, and belonging to any part of the Uuited
Kingdom. It does not, of course, effect steamers belonging
to America, or any other nation, but it materially affects all
that sail from any port in England, Scotland, Ireland, or
Wales, entering the harbour of Liverpool. It is stated that
another re form declares that all lodging-houses, for the ac-
commodation of mendicants and persons of the lowest rank
of life, shall be licensed by the Corporation. Before the
licenses are granted every room will be measured, and the
keeper of the house will not be permitted to put more than
a certain limited number to sleep in any apartment. The
size of the room will regulate the number ; and a copy of the
provisions of the act with reference to lodeing-houses, will
be hung up in every room. 'This is a most valuable provi-
sion, since much of the mortality and disease for which
Liverpool has obtained such unenviable notoriety, has been
owing to the disgraceful manner in which all ages and sexes,
some in sickness and some in health, have been huddled toge-
ther in these wretched lodging-houses, to inhale a pestilential
atmosphere, and to catch and diffuse contagion. Again' on
and after the first of January, a material change will take
place with regard to cellar occupation, the effect of which
will bo to render some thousands of cellars uninhabitable,
in addition to all which have hitherto been closed. Accord-
ing to the present act, any cellar of two feet four inches
above the level of the street, and seven feet in height from
the floor to the ceiling, can be legally inhabited ; but, under 1
the sanitary act, no cellar can be occupied he floor of which
is more thin four feet deep in the ground,t and the height of '1
the ceiling above the level of the street less than three set;
and every cellar, before it can be legally occupied, must hve
a clear area of two feet six inches, extending along the entire
front of the premises. An acquaintance with these provi-
sions is indispensable upon the part of the cellar-owners.
busts PAUPERS IN Livenroot —The parish office in this
town is literally besieged with Irish paupers from morning
until night, and the assistant-overseen, whose minds may be i
almost supposed to be blunted, and not keenly susceptible of
pity towards objects of charity, in consequence of their b ing
such frequent witnesses of scenes of distress, are positively
made melancholy in the performance of their onerous duties
in this season of distress. On Tuesday alone, upwards of
3,000 soup ticket+ and 2,000 rations of bread, were cliff.,
tributed amonget Irish applicants (lately imported) at the
parish office. On the same day, a special meeting of the
select vestry was held. to take into consideration the neces-
sity of adopting some steps. whereby to save the parishioners,
to some extent, from having to bear the sole expense of the
enormous impartation of Irish pauperism which is daily
going on, and a memorial to the Home Secretary was agreed
upon. In that document it is stated, " That the number of
Irish casual pole relieved by the parish of Liverpool for the
week ending the 19th Dec., 1845, was 888 persons; whereas
the number of Irish poor relieved in the correspding week
ending 20th Dec.,_1846, was 13,471."
REFORM or JUVENILE Cuteregats.—The report just
issued by the chaplain of Preston House of Correction affords
some interesting facts relative to the effects of the
Separate System. These statements are especiallyaluable
as denoting. the power of improved prison discipline in the
reform of juvenile offenders. In opening his report the
chaplain mentions that he has now, as previously, "the
gratification of producing satisfactory evidence of the decrease
of crime in the northern division of this county," to which
the report more particularly refers. He then proceeds to say
The general decrease of committals, amounting to something
more than seven per cent., is, as I will endeavour to
show, owing less to influences external to the
prison, than to those which operate within it; I
merely observe hero that first committals, which
former, i .e. de-
,
pend more—though not solely—upon the
of education
upon the state of empleyment, the progress
and of religious knowledge, &c., have diminished 41 per
cent. ; recommittals, which indicate the efficiency of h
prison
discipline, have lessened 11.8 per cent. Nine years
brieaf
have
passed since the sessions calendars p
catalogues of offender& as those of the year recently closcrl.
While the recommittals generally.have fallen away so de-
cidedly, and the reformatory discipline of the prison has
restored many persons to stations in which they may ha
useful if iiot respectable, there yet remains a sordid residue

Mr. Webster, a " profesor of dancing," and " artists of the
ballet department," induced Miss Hidtoo, a young lady, aged
15, daughter of W. Hilton, Esq., of Ardwick-greea, Man-
chester, to elope with him from her father's residence. The
distressed parent, having olnaisied some clue to the course
they had taken, arrived m Chester that night, and applied
fur the aid of the authorities to discover the retreat of the
fugitives. The superiutendent of the police immediately
appointed two officers to this duty, but their search was in-
effectual. On F.iday mornisg, however, it was discovered
that a licence had been obtained at the registrar-office, by
Webster (who was accompanied by Mr. Booth of
this city), for his marriage with Miss Hilton, who was
described as a lady of 22, and as basing for the
last few months resided in St. John's parish, Chester.
On receiving this information the police repaired to
St. John's Church, where the marriage ceremony had just
been completed, and the parties had left in a hackney coach.
Inquiry was made for them at the house of Mr. Booth, and
other places, without effect, till the afternoon, when they
were fuund at the Ermine Inn, near the ndlway station.
The foolish young " bride " w s then taken from the pro-
tection of her abductor, and removed, in care of the consta-
bles, to her home at Manchester. Webster awompanied the
party, but of course was refused admittance to Mr. 'Litton's
house. bliss Hilton is described as being a good-looking
young lady, with more of womanhood in her appearance
than might be expected from her ago. Webster is said to
be brother of the danseuse, Clara Webster, who was unfor-
tunately burnt so severely an t, cause her death, during her
performance in the ballet of " The Revolt of the Harem,"
at Drury-lane Theatre. It is stated that this affair will pro-
bably give rise to legal prosecutions of the parties implicated.

STAFFORDSHIRE.
THE SUPPOSED CASE OY Muitoon, near Wolverhampton,
proves to have been one of sudden death from natural
causes. At an inquest held on Tuesday, at Buslibury, upon
the body of the deceased, a surgeon, who made the post
nsortent examination, stated his ueeided opinion that the ex-
ternal injuries did not cause death. He thought death was
caned by an attack of congestive apoplexy. Exposure to
cold would ac lerate such an attack. The deceased, it is
right to notice, had been employed by his master, George
Briscoe, Esq., during the day in stacking up and thatching
ice, and the day wan very cold. He had also, it seems, com-
plained of being cold, and said he should put his feet in warm
water when he got home. The jury, after having heard the
observations of the coroner, who pointed out the importance
of the Medical testimony, returned a verdict to the effect
that tke iliceaw-d, S. Harris, was found dead, with bruises
on his face and head, but that death had ensued from natural
causes.

SHROPSHIRE.
INCREASE IN THE VALVE OF LAND.-At the recent sale
of waste lands, underthe Clun Forest Inclosurc Act, out of
28 lota offered, 27 were sold under the hammer, and one by
private treaty. Same of the above lots, upon the open com-
mon, fetched the high price W.' 261. per statute acre ; and the
average price of all the land sold was 151 per acre. About
five years ago, under the restrictive cora-laws, siadlor land,
sold in the same way, and at tho same place, did not produce
a greater average than 71. per acre. On this occasion, the
whole was bought by people in the immediate neighbour-
hood.

REPRESENTATION OF RATIL —Lard Ashley having
declined to stand as a candidate for this city, in the event of
an election, it is reported that Mr. Walter, of Bearwood,
has been in commuoication with the Conservative party
with the view of bciug put forward. It is stated that ho was
in Bath a few days ago, and had an interview with some of
the leading members of the Conservative Association ; but
whether it coded in an invitation to Mr. Walter, or an offer
from him, we ( Iresterit Advertiser) are not sufficiently in-
formed to announce. It is stated that, should Mr. Walter
be accepted as a caudidiee on his own offer, his friends

The Ilia of the Sikhs. By \V. L...31'013E00R, M.D.
1846. Madden, Leadenhall-street.
The boldest attempt ever made to unite two creeds,
to take of both what was most useful and beneficent,
reject what was pernicious and oppressive, and thus
effect a religious and social reform, was certainly the
founding of the sect of the Sikhs. This idea, and the
people who accomplished it, germed and lived upon
the Sutlej and the nearer branches of the Indus,
which long funned the line of demarcation between
the Moslem and the Ilindoo races. The peasantry,
the cultivators of the Punjaub, were Ilindoo. Their
masters were Nlusaulmen, who with no very constant
sway came and went, and thus left leisure and oppor-
tunity for the conqueredtace to organise itself' under
chiefs of its own, who dwelt in fastnesses, and lived on
plunder and maraud.
The Ilindoo religion is not suited to a state of
trouble, of resistance, and of the admixture which pre-
vails in a robber band. Nanukh, therefore, persuaded
those around him to reject the most cumbrous por-
tions of Ilindooism, the Brahminicnn supremacy,
the division of castes ; and for all, even the lowest,
to consider themselves soldiers and equals, like the
Nlahommedans, and thus fight for the possession of the
country which they tilled. The proposal was accepted;
the Brahmins resisted; the Moslems contemned. But
the Sikhs, formed of the lower class of Hindoos, per-
sisted in the noble resolve to free and to raise them-
selves. They made the task a religion, as every idea
must be made in the East, in order to be realised and
persevered in. And after centuries of struggle, vicis-
situde, and constancy, they at length succeeded iu
founding an empire on the very spot where the first
idea germed in the mind of their thunder.
It is the peculiarity of the Sikhs, that their religion
became exclu-ively confined to their own region and
race. It failed to make any impression upon the
Hindoo or upon the Nlitssulman empires on either
side, merely maintaining itself by the sword. Ilad
India not been overrun and subdued by European
powers, it is very possible that the Sikhs would have
conquered it, and introduced their great reform of the
abolition of castes, which would have done more fur
regenerating India than perhaps anything else.
British conquest has, however, rendered impossible
any Indian refocus after! Indian ideas, and whether
we can remedy this by Europeanising, is a question
more than doubtful.
Former writers have entered more fully and
learnedly into the origin, the nature, and the religion
of the Sikhs. Dr. NPCiregor gives but one fourth of
his two volumes to such early history, of which, how-
ever, he omits nothing essential orimportant, devoting
the far greater portion to the reign of ltunjeet, and
to the events of our time. The contemporary,portion
of the history is, indeed, the most valuaule, not
only from the author speaking as an eye-witness
of military operations, but also from the advantages
which he possessed in the way of questioning and pro-
curing correct information.
Accounts of strategy arc, however, more useful to
consult than interesting to quote, and as to the battles
themselves, we Lase had enough of them. We
prefer, therefore, giving Dr. NPOregor's opinions of
an Indian array, of which he must have had peculiar
facilities of judging :
The victories gained in India by a Clive, an Ochterlnny, and an
Adams, showed that the Native troops of their days were, at least, a
mateh for any 'waiver opposed to them. The men were steady, brave
soldiers, obeying implicitly the orders of their European ottitera, be-
tween whom and the men the freest intercourse existed. The Ginter
commanding a company knew every sipahec personally, while the
commanding whom of the regiment was associated with the interests
and welfare of his men ea to be looked up to with a species of filial
reverence. The position of affairs is somewhat changed. Ilia binds
which united the native scattier to his officer have been sundered. The
mean+, whereby the former was made to look wird+ esteem and respect
on his commander no longer exist, for the independent power of the
latter tar been eartailed, and the aipahee is drilled and taught the
mechaniam of the art of war, without an attempt being made to enlist
his feelings in the cause. He consequently takes but little interest in
the service, and merely looks upon it as a means 01 present livelihood
and future comfort. Many officers in Me Native army do not know
even the names of their Nafire officer, (the Subedars, Jemadars, &c.);
and a wide chasm has separated the twoclarmea.
When a dislike to any particular duty arises, it spreads throughout
the whole ranks it is in vain that the commanding officer urges his
men to a sense of their obligations ; they are sulky and sullen, and
refuse to obey officers whom they. hardly know, except by name. We
need only inatance the unruly spirit which prevailed in the corps that
mutinied in 1843, and which, in spite of eveny exertion on the part of
their officers, refund to march to Seinde, until the presence of two
European regiments threatened their very existence.
No body of officers can excel in zeal and energy those of our Native
army in India, but they cannot, under the preent state of interfer-
ence with the internal management of their regiment++, calculate with
certainty on those strenuous exertions and that determined courage
which maised the sipahee of former times. The mounted branch of
our army, called the regular cavalry, is not now composed of men
sprung from a race of warriors Many of them are persons of low
caste, whose fathers and brothers arc the cooks and table-attendants
of the officer, and it not unfrequently happens that the latter swell
the ranks of a light cavalry regiment. We look n vain for Mc gal Luff
Rajpoot and higheaste Mmisulman who funned). displayed such
courage and daring in the bard-fought fields of Indian warfare.
Nevertheless there is another va-t difference existing between the
regular and irregular cavalry : the latter pOsse% in their ranks men
of high caste and family, who are accompanied and followed into the
field by young relatives who do their utmost to imitate them. Thie
spirit of emulation does not exist in the regular cavalry every man
does what he considers his duty, and no more.
The only other extract which we shall indulge in,
recounts the philanthropic efforts of Major Lawrence
to rescue from ignorance and death the children of
European soldiers in India. The major has esta-
blished a school for them in the Hills, and has largely
contributed himself' to its funds:
The European soldier, however, is not sufficiently ode tot tho bless-
