Tag CONVICTS AT GIBRALTAII.--General Sir W.
Codringtoe, EL.0.11. to a despatch to the Bight Hee. Ed-
ward Cardwell, M.P., traaamitting the annual report of
the visitors and controller of the Convict Prier at Gibral-
tar, sow prorated to parliament, observes :—" I reaider
°drafter to be a very fit place for the employment of pri-
mmer. There are goverment works both for the ear sad
the army being carried on ; there are stone quarries for the
purpose of those works, in which there can be • fertile
amount of isolation from the inhabitsote Quarry lag is labour
—sometime., Mcleod, bard labour —lied always of a nature by
which the goverment benefit.. Stone cuttiog wed dressing
is a trade taught to the prisoners by their very occupatiok
and can materially aid them in getting au honest livelillood
on the expiration of Unit sentences. Whatever may be
the proper sompustite vIllo• of free labour sod prisoners'
labour, there is no doubt of the, that every day's work
fairly does by • prisoner is so much gain to the government.
If prisoners were in solitary onefirineet, or astir*
debarred from work, they would have to be =hared
in idleness, and would entail upon themselves sod their
mergers a multitude of evils, and greeter stringency of
discipline. The same result would byres if they refused
constantly to work ; theemployment of force to rove work
can only be exceptional.l see prisonersvoluetering to pot
themselves in dapper places, high up perpendicular cliffs
for blasting rock ; and I have seen other work dose almost
entirely by prisoners which has merited and received the
commendation of Engineer officers. I believe that theme
works, with the quarrying and stone cutting, bare sot rely
been of advantage to the governmest in a very high degree,
bat that they have hese of advantage to the primers them-
selves for their future life. Beth with regard to Admiralty
works and army works I consider that it la fortunate for the
execution of such necessary works that labour is obtained
from (rimier., who would rip-miles be • burden, rid it is
squally possible that thaw works would not be dose at at
