low for an able-bodied man. The scale speaks
for itself ; and yet to that every person,
no matter what his social position or stand-

ing, was exposed at Winchester,

FroM the

moment he was fourteen days in custody,
without taking measures for his discharge, through
the Insolvent Debtors' Court, he was subjected to
these horrible privations, his constitution under-
mined, and himself slowly murdered, under the
alleged authority of the law. Surely these atro-
cities can no longer be tolerated or sanctioned in
a Christian land. Surely Lord PALMERSTON will
not allow them to continue in operation in the
county iu which he resides, and of which ho was
once the representative! We have no doubt that

an investigation, similar to those that have taken
- -

place at Leicester and Birmingham, will be insti-
tuted into the system in operation at Winchester,
and into the other gaols, which have been at the

same time Houses of Correction and Debtors'

Prisons. The reports from these "dens of lid-

quity" will be useful in enabling Parliament to

legislate efficiently and permanently on the all-
important subject.

The General Screw Company's steamer Lady Jocelyn,
which sails for Calcutta to-day, will take out 24,0001. in
specie, and about 11 or 12 tons of copper coin for Ceylon
valued at 1,5001.
