out a General System of Imprisonment.

During the first few years, and until such a system
were fully developed, the annual expenses would vary,
and be subject to no very precise calculation, chiefly
arising from the uncertainty in what proportion the ex-
penses in Van Diemen's Land would diminish.
The following may afford data for forming an opinion.
Sir W. Denison, in his dispatch dated August 21, 1851,
furnishes a return of the number of convicts holding
tickets of leave, and those who are maintained at the
expense of the Government respectively. Subjoined is
the general summary :

Maintained by 'Government, males .... 3,536
females... 1,226
9, If
Not maintained by Government, males 11,978
lf If femaley 3,329

Grand total
If no additional convicts be sent to Van Diemen's
Land their number will gradually be reduced by expira-
tion of sentence, and by a less number being under the
restrictions of the ticket of leave, the infraction of
which, probably, causes many to be returned on the
hands of the Government.

For the purpose of ca;culation, it may be sufficient to
assume that the majority would be disposed of in four
or five years, and the estimates would decrease in some
regular proportion.
_Eiwciion of Additional A cconvrodation.

In connection with the probable operation on the
estimates of an extensive change of system, the subject
that will claim the first consideration and prompt action
upon any decision of the Government, will be the erec-
tion of the necessary accommodation.
It would appear desirable to take a comprehensive
view of all that will be required during the next four
years, and to obtain the sanction of Parliament to the
necessary outlay.
The probable annual accumulation of convicts during
the next four years has been shown in the foregoing cal-
culations, in which it will be observed that the numbers
will increase in a regular ratio. When, however, those
convicts who are now in confinement shall have been
disposed of, the permanent number, who will have been
sentenced in Great Britain during the above period will
fall to about 12,000.
On these data, it would appear that, in addition to the
accommodation now at the disposal of the Government,
viz., 10,880, as shown at page c, there will not probably
be permanently required more than from 1,200 to 1,500
cells ; but during the third and fourth years a greater
number will be needed. Hence, the necessity of at least
taking immediate measures for the erection of the
amount of accommodation which will be necessary as a
permanent provision, and of adopting some temporary
expedient for the excess, above this amount, as the exi-
gency arises.

- It-would be prudent not to determine too hastily, but
the Secretary of State should have the power of meet-
ing any emergency, and of immediately providing for it.
In accordance with your lordship's directions, I have
already made arrangements for the erection of an addi-
tional wing at Portland, which will raise the accommo-
dation in that important prison from 1,070 to 1,500 ;
and the appropriation of Brixton for females will give
additional accommodation for about 400 male convicts
at Millbank.

It is also under consideration to erect prisons at Chat,
ham, and Devonport, or Gosport.

THE UNITED STATES AND AUSTRIA.

We have received the following account of the
negotiations between the Austrian and American
Ministers on the subject of the Hungarian refugee
Kossta. The negotiation was commenced by Mr.
Brown, who addressed to Mr. Bruck the following
letter :

" Legation of the United States at
Constantinople, June 27.

"Monsieur l'lnternonce,—l have the honour to ad-
dress your Excellency on the subject of a most unfortu-
nate occurrence, which I am informed by the consul of
my Government in Smyrna took place there on the 23d
inst., and which I very deeply deplore, inasmuch as it
resulted in the death of a young officer of the Austrian
navy, who has thus most probably, without in any
manner having been the cause of the unwarranted attack
made upon himself and his companions in Smyrna, been
the victim of the most inconsiderate and unaccountable
conduct of*the Austrian Consul of the city towards an
individual named Martin Kossta.

"This person, at the present moment incarcerated on
board the Austrian brig-of war Hussar, now at Smyrna,
is, I believe, one of the Hungarian refugees who had
been detained at Kinta,yeh. Together with others he
was permitted to leave this country in 1851, and he pro-
ceeded with them to the United States, where he took
the preliminary steps toward becoming a citizen of the
United States—that is, he made a formal renunciation
of all allegiance to any other Power or Sovereign what-
ever, and took the oath of allegiance to the Govern-
ment of the United States. A months since M.
.osstkkaktie tn_Smyrna from New York, with the
design of again proceeding to the United States.
In the afternoon of the 21st inst., while seated on the
marina of Smyrna, he was suddenly set upon by
some fifteen ruffian Greeks, all armed, said to have been

employed for that purpose by the Austrian Consul ; and
after having been treated in the most brutal manner,
was thrown into the sea, where a boat was waiting to
receive and conduct him to the Austrian brig Hussar.
" M. Sossta, on leaving the United States, received
a legalized copy of the declaration which he had made
there of allegiance to the Government of the United
States, and which document, under ordinary circum-
stances, would recommend him to the friendly a;d and
consideration of the American authorities.
"It cannot be conceived here that this individual's
temporary residence in the city of Smyrna could possi-
bly excite the animosity of the Austrian Consul to such
a degree as to cause him to employ a band of armed
ruffians to attack him at a moment when he evidently
had no reason to apprehend such an outrage, and to
have him conveyed in an ignominious manner on board
an Austrian vessel-of-war.
"It seems to me, rather, that in case his presence
there incommoded the Austrian Consul, the latter, at
the most, should have called upon the Austrian
authorities to require his departure, and not, by an act
of so outrageous and inhuman a nature, excite the in-
-41.2-nation of the inhabitants of Smyrna, and, I do not
aubt it, also of the people of the United States.

--;;-13erMit me, therefore, to intercede with your Ex-
cellency on behalf of M. Kossta, and to ask, if not out
of the respect due for the Government of the Sultan,
whose territory has been so grossly violated by the con-
duct of the Austrian Consul of Smyrna, at least out of
regard for the Government to which he has pledged his
allegiance, that your Excellency be pleased to give
orders to the commander of the Hussar for his imme-
diate release, so that he may proceed to the United
States.

"I avail myself of the present opportunity of renew-
ing to your Excellency the assurances of my highest re-
spect and most distinguished consideration.

" JOHN P. BROWN."
To this letter the Austrian Minister returned the
following answer :

" M. BRUCE TO MR. BROWN.
"Buyukdere, Monday, June 27.
"Monsieur le Charge d'Affaires,—By your favour of
this day's date you have demanded the liberation of a
certain Martin Kossta, arrested by order of the Consul-
General of Austria at Smyrna on the 22d instant.
" I can only attribute, sir, this intervention on your
part to a mistake, as the individual in question is a
native of Hungary, and has never ceased to be an Aus-
trian subject, as results from his deciarativ made in the
presence of the Consul of the United States at Smyrna.
His arrest consequently took place in virtue of the treaties
which assure to my Government the full and entire inde•
pendence of its jurisdiction over all its subjects in Turkey.
" You will easily understand, then, M. le Charge
d'Affaires, the absolute impossibility of complying with
your request.
"I beg you to receive the assurance of my high consi-
deration. "BRUCK.
" To Mr. Brown, Charge d'Affaires of the United
States of America."
It will be observed that Mr. Bruck justifies the
arrest of Kossta upon the ground that he had de-
dared himself a native Hungarian in the presence

of the American Consul at Smyrna, but no refe-
rence is made by him to the papers of naturalisation
held by M. Kossta. Hence Mr. Brown replied in
the following letter :

"MA. BROWN TO M. BRUCK.
" Legation of the United States of America,
Constantinople, June 29.
" Monsieur l'lnternonce,—l have just received the
letter whic'a you were so good as to write me, under
date of the 27th of this month, on the subject of the in-
dividual named Martin Kossta, arrested at Smyrna, on
the 21st inst., by the Austrian Consul.

"I am reathly convinced sir, that the means adopted
by the Austrian Consul to effect the arrest of the said
individual could not merit your approbation ; and also
I do not feel myself at all called upon to express an
opinion upon the right which you mention as possessed
by your Government over all its own subjects in
Turkey.

" I cannot, however, deny myself the honour of once
more a Idressing your Excellency for the purpose of re-
newing the official intercession which I havealready felt
it my duty to make in behalf of this person ; and, so as
to enable your Excellency to better appreciate the basis
of my request, I have the honour to hand you (inclosed)
the declaration which AI. Kossta made at New York
on the 31st of July, 1852, renouncing his allegiance to
the Emperor of Austria,' and taking an oath of alle-
giance to the Government of the United States of
America.
"The right of expatriation and of naturalisation is re-
cognised, I believe, by the Government of Austria as
well as by other Governments ; and it seems to me that
the arrest (without again mentioning the means which
the Austrian Consul at Smyrna used to effect it) of the
said Kossta, upon the neutral soil of Turkey, after the
act of allegiance made by him, will be regarded by the
Government oF. the United States as being not only a
very painful violation of those same rights of naturalisa-
tion, but also, In consequence of my intercession, as a
want of respect and regard towards my Government, of
which the impression will be removed with difficulty. I
would not leave your Excellency ignorant of the preced-
ing facts ; but rather, by communicating them to your
Excellency, relieve myself of all the responsibility which
the arrest of Kossta, and the consequences which may
grow out of it, may leave in the mind of my Government
and countrymen.

" It was on presenting this declaration to the Consu-
late of the United States of America at Smyrna, and to
this Legation, that the said Kossta was furnished with
a tezkerch' to come to Constantinople, and to return to
Smyrna, whence he was to start for New York. Since
his arrival at Smyrna he has resided in Turkey under
the protection of my Government, and it is a pleasure to
me to be able to state that his conduct has always been
irreproachable. His fidelity to his native land—the only
crime of which he is accused—leads him to declare him-
self always a Hungarian, and to state that he wishes
even to meet his death as such.

" Your Excellency will pardon me if I thus renew my
intercession in his favour. I beg your Excellency to be
pleased to have him delivered over to the local authority
of Smyrna, to be sent again to the United States. This
act will be learnt by the President of the United States,
I am confident with satisfaction, and prevent the painful
and extraordinary news of his arrest being again the
cause of the interruption of those friendly feelings be-
tween our respective countries which I sincerely have it
at heart to reconcile and to cultivate.
" I beg your Excellency to receive renewed assurances
of my high consideration, &c.,

" JOHN P. BROWN."

and left again at 5 this evening, with the Fanny, Port-
Admiral's yacht, in tow, having Vice-Admiral Sir Thos.
Cochrane's flag flying, Sir Thomas being on a trip for
Torquay.
The Antelope, 3, iron paddle, Lieutenant Commander
Young, will haul out of the steam-basin dock on Wed-
nesday, her internal arrangements for accommodation
having undergone considerable improvement. Her
being rigged as a brig shows her rakish-looking hull to
great advantage.
The new signals, under the direction of Captain Jer-
ningham, have been practised to-day from the dockyard
semaphore to a flag-staff fixed on Ashy-down, Isle of
Wight, and with the greatest possible success. The
distance is nine miles, but the signalling would have
answered at 20 miles. The facility of working and read-
ing off was admirably managed ; and its simplicity and
effectiveness must bring it into general use.

The gale which has been so furiously blowing on this
coast since Thursday lulled in the night, and this morn-
ing a dead calm ensued, with not a ripple visible on the
water. This evening, however, the wind has risen and
seems freshening for another gale.

PEMBROKE, AUG. 29.
An official inquiry has been instituted at Pembroke
into the cause of the late failure in the launch of the
Caesar, the committee of investigation being formed of
Sir Baldwin Walker, the Surveyor of the Navy ;
Mr. Isaac Watts, Assistant Surveyor ; Mr. Abethell,
Master Shipwright of Portsmouth Dockyard ; and
Mr. Edye, Master Shipwright of Devonport Dock-
yard. The real cause of the mishap for a long
time remained obscure, but there is not now, any
doubt concerning the origin of the untoward and unfor-
tunate event. The disaster appears to have been caused
by a sufficient depth of water not being obtained when
the launch took place, in consequence of which the bilge-
ways stuck in the mud, and all the efforts made, and the
immense force brought to bear, to force the ship into
the water, only served to fix her snore firmly in the bed.
The water around was not of sufficient depth to take the
weight of the after body of the vessel from ,off the bilge-
ways, and thus allow her after-part to float. The use,
in the formation of the lower part of the ways, of fir
wood, in lieu, as customary, of sound Dantzic oak, it is
considered also contributed to the accident, the conse-
quence being that the ship did not so easily glide over
these planks, and before the stern could be lifted by the
buoyancy of the water, the unusual friction and traction
had aided in the stoppage of the vessel. It has been
remarked that she started and passed down the slip at
first with great velocity, and with a speed apparently
capable of overcoming every obstacle. In consequence
of a much greater declivity being given at some of the
other dockyards, fir planks are occasionally used for
carrying out the ways, but at Pembroke this was never
before attempted.
The condition of the ship is considered to be much
better than was anticipated, when the very dangerous
position m which she lay is taken into consideration.
One-third of her length lay off the ways when she ap-
peared "hogged" and bent, but on floating, the strain
was taken off, awl she returned to her normal lines.
The leakage was also very trifling, thus affording proof
of the immensely strong and perfect manner in which

our ships of 'var are put together. To be "hogged"

the trying occasion ; and Sir Thomas records his un-

To-day his Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, Ad-

made a private visit to the dockyard. They entered by
the Admiral's private gate, and his Highness was con-
ducted through the yard by the Captain-Superintendent,
Charles Hope, R.N. His Royal Highness left here by
the Medway steam-packet at 4.30 p.m. this day, and on
leaving the pier a large number of the inhabitants and
visitors gave his Royal Highness three hearty English
cheers, which were repeated, with one cheer more, for
the Prince of Prussia.

HEREFORDSHIRE.--Near Ross wheat is a fair average
crop ; not so much blighted as was at first apprehended
—being cut unusually green.
WORCESTERSHIRE.— Near Upon-on-Severn I have a
less favourable opinion of many of the best and early
planted wheats than I had, and am convinced wheat is
full one-third short of average.
WARWICKSHIRE —.Wheat one-third below average;
ripens very slowly ; complaints of blight ; very defi-
cient ; much under average.
NORTHAMPTON.—No cause to alter the report on
August 6. The crops of corn have ripened kindly, and
the cutting of the corn is rapidly proceeding.
HUNTINGDON.--Wheat, short breadth ; deficient plant,
improved quality.
CAMBRIDGESHIRE.—Near Chatteris the wheat crop is
generally good, but not without a little blight and mil-
dew. Mr. Ruston's report of the period of harvest
should have been printed 15th August, not end.
SUFFOLK.—Near Woodbridge, on stiff soils, clay, or
marsh. wheat is one-fourth deficient ; on loamy good al-
luvial soils it is 10 per cent. deficient ; and on sandy and
light soils 20 per cent. below the average.
ESSEX.—Wheat not an average. The threshing of
new wheat falls very far short of the estimated yield. So
inferior is the wheat on the heavy lands that great num-
bers of labourers who visit the hundreds of Essex at this
period have suffered privation from non-employment.
Under average, late and blighted ; best on light soils.
13UcKINGHAmsuiRE.—Wheat one-third under average.
Winter wheats unquestionably attacked with red mag-
got ; spring sown appears healthy, but backward.
OxFoaDatlßE.—Near Reading, wheat blighted, and
not an average crop.
GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Near Cirencester, wheat very
much improved. Near Bristol, barely an average crop,
much is very thin on the ground ; cutting has com-
menced. Near Gloucester, wheat is improved since
last report.

MONMOUTH.—Wheat is partially blighted ; two-thirds
of crops ; the spring-sown best. Near Abergavennyi
crops have not in any way deteriorated since last re-
port. Near Uske, much improved with the fine wea-
ther, but does not promise an average yield, and there
is nearly one-fourth less land under wheat this year.
SOMERSET.—Much improved, but below average.
Acreage of wheat unusually small, from the wet autumn.
Early wheat deficient in the ear.
BERKSHIRE, NEWBURY TO EAST RISLEY.—Wheat is
under an average, but a good sample ; the seed time
extended over five months, and the harvest will extend
over
six weeks. Crops various ; good quality, but
short in quantity.

CORNWALL.—Near Helston, wheat crops are thin,
and certainly under the average. Owing to the heavy
autumnal rains a great quantity of land could not be
put into wheat at all, and many acres were sown near
the coast, with spring wheat, which promises better
than the autumnal but, on the whole, it is thought it
will be a slight yield. Near Truro. below average.

THE POTATO CROP IN IRELAND.
DONEGAL—The
potatoes are excellent.
TYRONE.—Near Omagh
the potatotes are good in
quality, and there is no blight.
LEITRIM.—The blight is partially on the haulm, but
has net yet reached the tubers.
ARMAGII.—The potato leaves are generally blighted,
and a few of the roots are diseased, and of course more
may be expected to go.
COUNTY DOWN. Dromore : Disease decidedly estab-
lished, but progressing slowly. Comber : Largely cul-
tivated this year and very fine. Disease has been slowly

Wood, the constable, who had the case in hand, and
by whose active exertions much of the sham character
of the prisoner has been brought to light, informed the
magistrate, that he was prepared with witnesses, whose
testimony would remove all doubt with regard to the
prisoner's assuming a name and character to which he
had not the slightest pretensions whatever. There was,
in attendance, one witness, who knew the person of
Joseph Rottenstein perfectly well, and was present
when that person received from the hands of M. Kossuth
the certificate produced, and which had been used by
the prisoner for begging purposes. He then called—
Louis Lovenski, who deposed, that he formerly be-
longed to the Commissariat department of the Hunga-
rian army under Kossuth, and knew Joseph Rotten-
stein very well. He first knew him as a private indi-
vidual in Hungary, and subsequently when in the army
of independence, in the 62nd or 72nd regiment, he
thought it was. In the month of September last year
he (witness) accidentally met Rottenstein at the house
of a barber, to whose shop he went to shave, and at
that time he had but just come from Hungary, having
escaped from prison. He was at the time in a state of
great distress, and witness assisted him as well as his
means enabled him, and subsequently accompanied him
to the house of M. Kossuth, when he received from
that gentleman the certificate produced. He afterwards
accompanied Rottenstein to the residence of Lord
Dudley Stuart, when Rottenstein received from that
nobleman one sovereign towards his support.
Mr. Norton—ls that person (pointing to the pri-
soner) at all like the Rottenstein you have been speak-
ing about ?

CRICKET.

KENT v. SURREY.

The honourable gentleman went on to say that an
agreement had been entered into by the directors of
this company and those of the Crystal Palace Company,
subject to the approval of the proprietors, by which it
is provided that the Crystal Palace Company shall fix
the rate at which tickets shall be issued, including ad-
mission to the palace and transport by the railway, the
proceeds of which shall be divided in the proportion of
four-sevenths to the Crystal Palace Company, and three-
sevenths to the railway company ; and as the railway
company are about to expend a large capital, on the
faith of the traffic which will be brought to the palace,
it is further stipulated—RS a security to them against
the risk of the Crystal Palace Company fixing rates so
extremely low as to leave them without any adequate
remuneration—that the proportion assigned to the rail-
way company under this division shall not be less than
Bd. for each passenger to and from the palace.
The financial statement to the 29th of August showed
that the receipts had amounted to 35,9311. 13s. 4d., in-
cluding the first instalment of 11. per share ; and the
expenses—of law, parliamentary, engineering, and other
charges—to 4,2081. Gs. ; leaving an unexpended balance
of 31,7231. 12s. 10d. The outstanding debts of the
company amounted to 4,1891. 135., and the preliminary
expenses to 8,2201.
The meeting having expressed approval of the chair-
man's statement, the following gentlemen were elected
directors of the company : Mr. Geach, M.P., Mr.
W. H. Thomas, Mr. B. Drew, Mr. F. Fuller, Sir
Joseph Paxton, Mr. C. J. Rich, Mr. R. Till, Mr. J.
Treadwell, Major Tyndale, and Mr. C. J. Webb.
The salary of the secretary was then fixed at 3001. a
year, and the business terminated with a vote of thanks
to the chairman.

STORM IN THE PERSIAN GULF.-RESTRUC-

The match between these great cricketting counties
was commenced yesterday at the Oval, where a large
number of spectators assembled to witness the efforts of
the contending parties. The innings of Kent yielded
59, with nine wickets down, and this was the position
of the game when time was called, at which moment the
general score bore this appearance :--

TION OF SHIRAZ.

Witness (indignantly).—Never. No more alike than
day and night.
Mr. Pearce—May there not have been other Joseph
Rottensteins besides the person you have been represent-
ing ?
Witness—Not as Hungarian exiles.
Mr. Pearce—When had you seen this Rottenstein
before the time you met him at the barber's shop ?
Witness—ln the year 1847, at Pesth.
Mr. Pearce—And you are sure he belonged to the
62nd or 72nd regiment ?
Witness—Yes, I think so.
Mr. Norton—You have stated that Rottenstein, in
your presence, received a sovereign from Lord Dudley
Stuart. Was that sovereign entered on the certificate ?
Witness —Yes, sir ; but the entry, as I now see, was
altered from one to four pounds, and this was the only
subscription entered on the certificate when I last saw
it, but there are several others now. _ _

Mr. Pearce—Pray, Mr._ Lovinski, what do you do
yourself for your living, besides taking these petitions
and letters about ?

Witness—l am a commercial traveller, and dispose of
fancy stationery.
The witness, in answer to some further questions, said
that soon after he relieved Rottenstein he saw him very
well dressed, with a watch and chain, and fine rings on.
He was a fine young man, with a military bearing, and
stood nearly, if not quite, six feet high. When he called
on M. Kossuth, Rottenstein was lame from the effects
of a wound in his leg, and had also a wound on the back
of his head.

A Calcutta paper publishes the following interesting
news from the Persian Gulf. It was brought by the
brig Euphrates

On the 4th May, about an hour and a half before
sunrise, the city of Shiraz was destroyed by an earth-
quake, 10,000 people killed. At the same time it was
felt slightly at Bushire. The Euphrates, working up
the Gulf at this time, experienced for the five days fol-
lowing very unsettled weather, the sky every night pre-
senting a wild and gloomy appearance, with sudden
squalls and vivid lightning, unusual at that time of year.
"The Euphrates left the Gulf on the Ist of July ; the
month of June had been hotter than the oldest inhabi-
tant had ever experienced; much fever prevailed. News
had just reached Bushire that the cholera was raging in
Teheran and the upper provinces of Persia, and the na-
tives apprehended a trying season in the dismal regions
of the Persian Gulf.

" Bushire has been newly fortified, and a large force
was on its way to garrison the town.
" The expedition meditated against the dominions of
the Imaum of Muscat, by the Great Wahabee chief, had
been abandoned through the influence of Sheikh Janoon
of Abothubhee. The governor of Muscat has paid a
tribute of 80,000 dols. to the Wahabee chief.
" On May 1, the Euphrates, when about half way up
the Gulf, fell in with the schooner Apprentice, of Lon-
don, bound to Bussora ; out seven months and five
days. From death and sickness there was but one sea-
man to work the vessel. The Euphrates lent them an
officer and a party of men to take her to Bushire.
" In the beginning of June the Hon. Company's bri-
gantine Tigris seized a bungolow belonging to Bahreyn,
from the Red Sea, with a Georgian slave, sent as a pre-
sent to the brother of the Sheikh of Bahreyn. She was
provided with a pass from Captain Haines, political
agent at Aden. The man in charge of the female pur-
chased two slaves with her money of Makulla, and on
t hat account the boat was seized.
