LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1855.

Yesterday we took occasion to comment upon
the extraordinary contrast, visible at a glance,
between the prisons of the last and those of the
present century. A contrast, indeed, of squalor
and splendour—of chaotic confusion and systema-
tic arrangement—of all that is pestilential and all
that is salubrious—of everything calculated to
vitiate still further those already sufficiently de-
graded and demoralised, and everything, on the
other hand, which might be reasonably expected
to be productive, sooner or later, even among the
more hardened class of criminals, of a gradual
and moderate, and in some instances, compara-
tively speaking, a rapid and thorough reformation.
The difference, in truth, between the two systems,
is the difference between light and darkness, be-
tween wisdom and folly, or, rather let us say, be-
tween ignorance that will not be taught, and
knowledge perpetually extended by expe-
rience. The judicious application of the results
of this experience is precisely what has effected
all these miraculous changes for the better in the
national distribution of correctives, in the way of
expiatory and reformatory punishment. Through
its medium—through the medium of this whole-
some and absolutely essential experience—we
have been enabled to bring about those modifica-
tions of the Criminal Code which, while they have
tended, and that, moreover, very considerably, to
ameliorate the unhappy, and hitherto almost
hopeless, condition of our felons, affords us, at the
same time, a reasonable prospect of arriving be-
fore long at a yet more benign and efficacious
reorganisation of this most difficult and moment-
ous division of our vast and complicated system
of jurisprudence.

raltar, and the remaining 600 to Western Aus-
tralia : the rest of the formidable sum total
(9,227), that is no less than 560 being pardoned
—29 on medical grounds, 276 under Order of
License, 252 freely, and 3 conditionally. The
expenditure consequent upon all which during
the past twelvemonths, as recorded in the esti-
, mates for 1854-5, reached the enormous total of
just 218,9591.-72,012/. for the officers, prin-
cipal and subordinate, under the head " Salaries,"
and 146,9471. for the prisoners, &c., under
that of " Maintenance." It is especially
worthy of remark, moreover, that a perceptible
increase is observable in the expense incurred in
keeping of our convicts during the year last past as
oompared with its immediate predecessor ! During
1853-4, the victualling charge per head, it must
be remembered, was 71. Is. 10d., while in 1854-5
it has reached 81. 19s. ; that of clothing, which,
in 1853-4, came to 21. 13s. 10d., has risen in
1854-5 to 21. 19s. 5d.: that of additional ex-
penses of prisoners " ors liberation" has suddenly
expanded from the petty item of 4s. 2d. per head,
as it was in 1853-4, to as much as 15s. 3d.
during the past twelve months. An increase, in
other words, in a single year of very nearly 1/. per
head for the victualling of prisoners, of a quarter of
that sum for their clothing, and of more than 300
per cent. for the casual expenses of their travelling
when liberated I Altogether, in short, the cost
of each felon which was, in 1853-4, estimated at
the average of 231. 145., has been enhanced in
Amount during 1854-5 to a sum of no less than
261. 3s. 10d. Remembering the magnitude of
the disbursements previously required fo-r the
maintenance upon an adequate scale of our vast
i penal establishments in the United Kingdom, the
very appreciable increase of expenditure here
noticed, cannot, we conceive, but be in some mea-
-1 sure deprecated. Nevertheless it should not on
lany account be overlooked, that three among the
more important of these same establishments have
been the scene of labours very far indeed from
being unremunerative. It has been reasonably
calculated, in fact, that the value of the convict
labour for the year 1854-5, in connection with
the Hulks alone, has been actually as much as
19,6511.—that in connection with the Portland
breakwater, &-c., it has been not less than
28,2111.—that iu connection with the Portsmouth
dockyard, &c., it has absolutely exceeded the
amount of 31,0001. Altogether yielding an im-
portant total of just 78,9201. as the produce of
this judicious application upon public works of
the thews and sinews, the skill and in-
dustry, the capacities and energies of
our adult criminal population. While,
therefore, we cannot but regret the very
observable increase of expenditure alcove noticed,
we cannot in reason charge with anything like
undiscriminating extravagance those who have
been intrusted with the supervision of our convict
prisons with a view to the further regulation of
their discipline, and the more effectual organisa-
tion of their general management. It is impos-
sible for us tot to lament the extension implied
by that increase of still further comforts than
those already vouchsafed to that dread army of
from 9,000 to 10,000 felons now annually
incarcerated in our penal establishments.
Contrasting, as it cannot fail to do,
somewhat invidiously, and, let us add,
somewhat unreasonably, with the parsimony
evinced towards pauperism as contradistin-
guished from crime, although that same pau-
perism would seem in reality to be about the most
heinous offence that could well be perpetrated
against the well-to-do masses of our vast and
nourishing community. Nevertheless, despite all
this, it would be wholly unjustifiable, as already
intimated, to charge with a culpably negligent
prodigality those who have been empowered by
the Executive to regulate this important and
responsible department of the national admi-
nistration.

maintain cleanliness in our own persons, but that
we should interest ourselves in securing that first
condition of a moral and civilised existence for
our fellow-creatures. We had reason to
be ashamed before our MAKER that we
had not attended more to the physical wants of
our poorer brethren. And we might reasonably
ask the Divine blessing on any considerate attempts
to better their condition, and to remove the cala-
mity through the means appointed by the CREATOR
himself. Prayer without such practical repent-
ance were mere impiety.

Happily for the country at large, they have now
for some time past approved themselves men emi-
nently well qualified to conduct the delicate and
difficult affairs of the office entrusted to their
keeping, and by their continued evidence of adroit-
ness, judgment, and discrimination, have justified
to the full the confidence reposed in them by many
successive leaders of her MAJESTY'S Government.
If visible and tangible testimony of this were
needed, it would be discoverable on the instant in
the annual reports submitted to the Home Secre-
tary by the distinguished Surveyor-General of
Prisons, and presented in substantial blue-books,
session after session, by command of her MAJESTY,
to both Houses of the Imperial Legislature. The
latest of these masterly digests of all that has been
effected within the past twelve months under his
own immediate guidance and supervision (with a
view to the amelioration of the criminal system
generally, and throught that, ultimately, of course,
to the comprehensive reorganisation of the entire
Criminal Code of Great Britain), reflects upon
Colonel JEZB the honour due not only to a success-
ful and experienced administrator, but to an untir-
ing and practical philanthropist. It might be re-
garded as the honourable and sufficient crown
of his protracted labours, but that we aro
fain to anticipate their continuance yet fur-
ther, until some of his more cherished projects of
improvement shall have been completely realised,
until the fabric his energy and application have
been chiefly instrumental in building up shall
have become permanently and triumphantly con-
solidated. That fabric must necessarily be re-
garded as yet, so to speak, in sections, and in a
manner piecemeal. After this fashion we our-
selves propose to scrutinise it with a more than
ordinary degree of care and elaboration. But,
viewed from the height of experience already
attained, examined comprehensively by the
light of the Report hero furnished to Par-
liament, and through Parliament to the entire
population—a Report as lucid: inlarrangement as
it is earnest and luminous in exposition—we can-
not but recognise at once the symmetry of its
arrangement, and the amplitude of its dimensions,
no less than the solidity, depth, and breadth of
its stalwart foundations. Colonel JEBB has, for-
tunately, proved himself to be no favourer of pet
theories—of fantastic crotchets—of idle and in-
discriminate experiments. Ho has tampered, with
a rational amount of caution, no common degree
of daring as an innovator. In his capacity as
Surveyor-General of Prisons he has displayed
hardly less courage as a reformer than skill as an
tadministrator, and benevolence as a philanthropist.

Already, we repeat, it is satisfactory to know
that while undoubtedly yet " more remains to
do," much bas oven now been accomplished in the
Way of reforms in our penal discipline—reforms
most of them as humane as they have been un-
doubtedly daring and comprehensive. It has not
been, however, quite inexpensively, as already
intimated in our remarks of yesterday, that we
have attained our present elevated and beneficent
pitch of improvement.
As maybe readily enough
comprehended, we con-
ceive, when two or three particulars of
some signi-
ficance are borne for an instant in consideration.
When it is remembered, for example, that in the
management of our eight great penal establish,
ments in lingland--Brixton, Dartmoor,
Millbank, Portland, Portsmouth, Parkhurst, and
Pentonville—nearly a thousand (960) officers,
namely, 156 principal officers, and 804 subordi-
nate officers, are required for the ordinary exigen-
cies of administration. Nor can this number be
regarded as in any respect disproportioned to the
number of convicts requiring to be guarded and
disciplined under their supervision—recollecting,
for instance, that these miserable beings ranged
during the last year to a terrible total of from
?1,00040 10,000 collectively ! Viz., 9,227 in all

Apply this rule honestly next Wednesday; and
what will be our duty ? We must humble our-
selves for our political sins. They are the direct,
the evident cause of all the calamities which we
regard as a providential rebuke. They are strictly
providential in this sense, that:the Author of all
cause and effect has appointed an inevitable con-
nection between political jobbery and selfishness,
and national misfortunes. Soldiers die of fatigue,
of hunger, of wretched medical arrangements, of

pestilence, and sailors perish by hundreds in a
gale. But some persons who should have known
Hier overworked them, did not get proper food
to there, mismanaged the medical department,
took them where the pestilence was certain to visit
them, and obstinately kept vessels where a gale
must wreck them. But how came these persons
to be in charge of these things ? How was it that
fitting men were not found ? No answer can be
returned but one ; we have a system of appointing
to all places which are directly or indirectly in the
hands of the Government, designed to favour the
class who bring up all their children as gentlemen,
and then throw all but the eldest sou upon the
public for a maintenance. This is emphatically the
cause why officials are too numerous for their work,
actually obstructing one another ; and also the
cause that favour, connexion, and wealth ex-

dude the competent and the industrious from the
public service. We have, therefore, to humble
ourselves that we have tolerated an aristocracy in
grasping exclusively the supreme management,
and, as a corollary, filling the army and
the civil service with officers and officials
who have almost sacrificed 'an army. If
we are not too courtly to the higher powers to
confess the real truth before our MAKER, this is
the sin which we have to confess.

Political sermons are hateful enough—political
prayers are worse—but worse still are prayers
which "dissemble and cloak" our real sins through
fear or favour of our fellow-mortals, however high
their rank. This is with us a grave reason for
objecting to the appointment of the day. It is
impossible to be truthful without appearing politi-
cal—impossible to appear political without marring
the character of a religious service. To us, in-
deed, the purely political delinquencies—such as
sacrificing Polish aid and justice to Poland to
seeking the alliance of unrighteous and cruel
Austria—and many other connected misdeeds
which we will net name, are equally appropriate
subjects of humiliation. In a word, the political
and administrative causes of all our calamities are
so clear, and so clearly due to the criminal selfish-
ness of our aristocracy, that unless we mock the
ALMIGHTY the national humiliation will be humi-
liation for the national tolerance of aristocratic
selfishness.

We begin to entertain a better hope of the
labours of the grand inquest sitting at West-
minster baying a practical termination. "The sys-
tem" has already been exhibited in its true aspect,
as negatively worthless and positively mischievous.
Further progress is being made ; individual
offenders and incompetents are having their cul-
pability and incompetency more and more clearly
' demonstrated. The great Incompetent himself is
being stripped of his borrowed plumes, and the
public begin to see how much of the horrible dis.
aster which have signalised the Crimean Campaign
is owing to the incapacity of the Commander-in-
Chief.

True to his instincts, our contemporary the
Morning Post, who loves a Lord, flies to the rescue.
Nothing, he is of opinion, can be more useless
or in worse taste than the course pursued by the
Committee. They actually ask plain home ques-
tions, and these with a bias, more especially that
mauvais sujet of the aristocracy, the incorrigible
Mr. LAYARD. Will it be believed that this gen-
tleman asked General EVANS on the second day of
the examination the following question :—" You
don't think that, because these things (Mackin-
tosh cloaks) were not adopted in the Peninsula,
they should not have been used in this campaign
Suppose a man walked from here to Charing-
cross in the wet without a Mackintosh, when he
might have had one, would it be any excuse if he
said that he did so forty years ago ?" (Laughter.)
Answer—" No, I don't exactly think it would."
(Increased merriment.) Really the Post must
not expect much sympathy in a complaint like
this. The only bias the public will trace in it is
one for eliciting what it wants from the inquiry,
viz.—truth. And certainly it is not without the
scope of the inquiry, but an important part of it, to
ascertain whether Lord RAGLAN and others are
behind the age. " What," our contemporary goes
on to inquire, " What must the question have been
which could have brought answers like these :"
" I was six months in the camp, and two months
in the Crimea. I never saw Lord RAGLAN in my
life. I have seen the Quartermaster-General and
Adjutant-General, but never in camp. I never
saw any member of Lord RAGLAN'S staff in the
hospitals ?" What sort of questions ?, Why,
plain, pertinent, common-sense questions, without
which the inquiry would be an impudent mockery.
A case that can be endangered by questions like
these must bo an exceedingly bad one. And that
such is the nature of Lord RAGLAN'S case we are
more thoroughly convinced than ever. We doubted
his capacity while others were fastening, as it
now turns out, the blame belonging to him
on the shoulders of others ; and now we are
thoroughly convinced of his want of it.
A good Secretary to the DVSS he may have been
in his day, but that no more made him a good
general than being brought up a groom would
make him a horse. The Post cannot successfully
defend him—the case is too strong ; hence its
subterfuges, which will prove unavailing. To
spare one man it cannot be longer permitted that
others should be blamed. Even with reference
to the unfortunate Light Cavalry charge at Ba-
laklava, a perusal of the debate in the House of
Lords last night will show the noble client of the
Post was the party to blame.
