the prison to be appriiplidted to adult prisoners, i.nd
above will be the chapel, arranged to contain separate
enclosed seats for the prisoners, so contrived as to
prevent the possibility of communication, either by
sight or converse, during the service. There will he
also in this compartment an organ loft and a gallery
for the governor and the officers of the prison.
The right wing of the front portion of the building
will be appropriated to the separate confiLeinent of
female prisoners, containing reception cells, matron's
rooms, bath room, puniShment cells, and the laundry ;
and the left wing will be fitted for juvenile prisoners,
with workrooms and schoolrooms attached.
Connected with the centre building, and diverging
therefrom, will be four main wings, which are to be
appropriated to the employment of adult male pri-
soners, containing in the basement the kitchen
department, officers' mess rooms, punishment cells,
plunging baths, and store rooms, and the ground floor
and two stories above containing separate cells for
confinement. Each wing throughout the prison will
contain a corridor the entire length and height of the
building, with a projecting gallery on each story
above the ground floor for access to the cells, and iron
staircases leading thereto. The whole of the building
appropriated to the confinement of prisoners will be
entirely fire-proof, and the floors will be formed with
asphalte, with which also the roofs of the cells and
corridors will be covered. The cells will be well

lighted, and thoroughly warmed and ventilated by
means of flues formed in the walls, and each cell
supplied with water and other conveniences for the
use of the prisoners. A well has been sunk, for the
general use of the prison, into the chalk, so that a
constant supply of spring water will be afforded.
Attached to the prison will be spacious airing yards,
and the whole area, which contains about twelve
acres of ground, will be inclosed with a high boun-
dary wall.

WEST SURREY ELECTION.
It will be recollected that the nomination for this
division of the county of Surrey took place on Sa-
turday last, end that the days of polling appointed
by the Sheriff were Tuesday and Wednesday, the
25th and 26th instant. The result of the first day's
polling having left the Liberal candidate in a small
minority, it appeared that he declined to pursue the
contest farther. An intimation to that effect was
made to Mr. Evelyn's committee, and, as it would
appear, to the High Sheriff, for the polling• booths in
the various districts were without the usual officials
to receive the votes of electors on Wednesday. Such
was the case at Godalming, as would appear from
the following statement and protest of Mr. Low, of
Gracechurch-street, who contends that the return of
Mr. Evelyn is vitiated by this lathes on the part of
the High Sheriff:—" I went this morning to vote
for one of the candidates for Member for West
Surrey, and on proceeding to the polling booth I was
told that one of the candidates had resigned. The
Sheriff took upon himself to close the poll at the end
of one day the law requiring two days' poll for a
county. I therefore served the Sheriff with the
following I, James Low, of No. 30, Gracecburch-
street, in the city of London, a freeholder of the
western division of the county of Surrey, in the
presence of James Foster, of Godalming, grocer,
proceeded to the polling booth in Godalming, ap-
pointed to receive the votes of the voters for that
division, for the election of a Member to represent
the western division of Surrey in Parliament, to
tender my vote, on Wednesday, this 26th day of
September, 1849, at ten minutes before nine o'clock,
A.M., and found neither returning officer nor poll-
clerk to receive my vote. In consequence of which I
hereby protest against the legality of the said election.
The Sheriff naming the election to commence on
Tuesday, the 25th of September, from nine o'clock,
A.M., to four o'clock, P.M., and on Wednesday, the
26th, at eight o'clock in the morning, finally closing
at four o'clock, r.m , dated this 26th day of Septem-
ber, 1849.

MR. MORE O'FERRALL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DITELIN EVENING POST.

Sir,—As Lord John Russell's reply to Mr. Hume
may be regarded as the end of the controversy, I
wish to condole with the .Morning Herald, and ad-
minister to him, or the Old Lady, all the consolation
I can on the loss or withdrawal of so fruitful a
source of filling-stuff during this dull Parliamentary
recess.
For the last two years the Herald has, from time
to time, been personally abusing and attacking Mr.
More O'Ferrall. From the very commencement the
writer descended to the calling of all sorts of names ;
and pertinaciously inquired, over and over again—
" W.ho is this Mr. O'Ferrall ? Who ever heard of
him until he was pitchfcrked from the Bog of Allen
into the Treasury, the Admiralty, and finally ap-
pointed Governor and Commander-in Chief of
Malta ?"
Now, Sir, any person at all acquainted with the
history of our gentry knows that Mr. O'Ferrall is an
Irish gentleman of ancient lineage and highest family
connexions, possessing large hereditary estates, which
are so managed, under his direction, that while they
are highly valuable to the proprietor, the tenant lives
in comfo:t, security, and independence, and the la-
bourer in full remunerative employment. The young
people are educated with care, and the aged are
cherished with the most considerate benevolence. He
is a Roman Catholic gentleman, not ashamed of his
religion, but, on the contrary, rather scrupulous in the
observance of the duties it enjoins ; at the same time
that he has been living all his life among Protestants,
many of whom are his most intimate friends, on
terms of unrestrained confidence.
Thus much for the first interrogatory of the
Herald.—Now for the second—" Who ever heard of
him," &c., &c. To answer this fully and satisfac-
torily, I beg to refer to an authority to which I am
sure all the employee in Shoe-lane will bow with due
deference, and behold how egregiously their master
has put his foot in it. Please, Mr. Editor, just turn
to the file of the London Morning Herald, of 25th
August, 1830—nineteen years ago—and see how his
Irish Correspondent notices and reports the gentle-
manly bearing and intelligence of the newly-elected
Member for Kildare :
" Mr. More O'Ferrall, the new Member, is a young
man of prepossessing appearance, and gifted with con-
siderable abilities. He is going to a place where, no
doubt, his talents will be fully recognised and appre-
ciated. But, however that may be, he certainly has
many of those qualities which constitute a very useful
Member of Parliament. Cool, clear• sighted, and per-
severing, ho also brings to the details of business a fund
of good sense and integrity, which has already gained
him the respect and confidence of the country, in the dis-
charge of the various and important functions of a
magistrate and member of the grand jury. He has a
good command of language, and the sentiments
which be expresses fluently, if not elegantly, he
can defend with a gallant modesty, more persuasive than
all the flowers of rhetoric: he is a Roman Catholic, but
goes not to Parliament as a sectarian. The clergy of his
Church, it is true, have displayed a warm and very
allowable share of exultation at his success; but he used
no solicitations, nor put forward any anti-Protestant
professions, to enlist them on his side."
There, Sir, is the London Morning Herald's re-
port and announcement of Mr. O'Ferrall's return
for the county Kildare nineteen years ago.
Your's, very faithfully,
AN OLD ELECTOR.

THE PROPOSED AUSTRIAN LOAN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER.
15, New Broad street, Sept. 26, 1849.
Sir,—The enclosed letter from Mr. Cobden, on the
subject of the proposed Austrian Loan, is at your
service for publication, if you should deem it of
sufficient interest.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
EDMUND FRY.
" Oaklands, near Sedlescombe, Surrey, Sept. 25, 1849.
"My dear Sir—l have this moment read in a
London paper the prospectus for a new loan, issued
by the Austrian Government. Now is the time for
the friends of peace and disarmament to raise their
voices in condemnation and exposure of the system
by which Austria and the other powers maintain their
enormous armies, and carry war and destruction not
only into their own provinces, but into the territories
of their neighbours. A public meeting should be im-
mediately called in London to denounce this attempt
to leyy upon the savings of peaceful industry the
means of paying Haynau and his Croats for their
butcheries in Brescia, and their atrocities in Hungary,
There is not a friend or admirer of the oppressed and
slandered Magyars or Italians who will not press
forward to swell the chorus of execration at this
audacious proposal to borrow from the European
public the money with which to pay the price of suc-
cessful violence and injustice. It is a matter upon
which every man is called to express his opinion, for
all of use are, by the terms of the prospectus, invited
to become subscribers for the loan. Is there a Jew
in London who will not be eager to attend such a
meeting, to repudiate all connexion with the projected
loan, and to denounce the authors of those atrocities
against his co-religionists at Buda-Peeth—atrocities
in which Ilaynau has surpassed everything that has
occurred since the persecutions of the middle ages ?
I will be in Town on Thursday to meet a committee
of the friends of peace, and if it be decided to hold a
meeting, I shall be there to take a part in it, and
believe me, "Faithfully yours,
"E. Fry, Esq." "RICHARD COBDEN.

SUPPOSED MURDER.—On Sunday evening A num-
ber of Irish reapers in the town of Dunse quarrelled
among themselves, and either on that night or early on
Monday morning, a murder seems to have been com-
mitted, es the body of a men—one of the reapers—was
found yesterday, terribly mangled, in a field near the
Preston Station. At present, however, we can furnish
uv additionalputiolus.—Arorth 13ritiol Nail.

COINSEILLEtt,

In the September number (the sixth) of the
Conseiller du Potpie, the new and remarkable organ
of the opinions of M. de Lamartine, occur the fol-
lowing brilliant passages. Those who hare not
themselves examined this journal of the poet• states-
man, will doubtless thank us for affording them even
this gampse of its epigrammatic wisdom, and of the
genial benevolence of its principles :
" A good Republic is nothing but an Equilibrium•
And what is this Equilibrium sustained by? It is sus
tained by Justice."

. . .
" The establishment of Universal Suffrsge was the
Coronation of the People."

. .
. .
" On the 16th of April, 1648, the cry of ' Vive la Re-
publique! ti bas ks Communistes t was the war-cry of
l•Socitay attacked and saved."

. _
. _
" The Republican form of Government has three
objects—the extension of the Executive power—the
consolidation of Family and Property— the amelioration
of the social condition of the people.'

" A Socialist has said Property is Robbery!' Gcd
has said ' Property is Life!' "

. .
Alluding honourably to Mazzini in his banishment,
M. de Larmartine says—" Silence is the only and true
dignity of proscription."

" Republicanism is Charity in action. Democracy is
fraternal Christianity applied to Governments."

" Three things are neceesary to complete the Republic
—the right to live—a tax for the poor—a Minister of
'raternal institutions."

" A has les riches I—Vine la mart et la faim des Ouv-
riers !—theta two cries are synomous."

" Equality of salaries is only a prize held out to in-
:apacity, an odious injustice to talent and activity."

. .
. .
" God is the key to the wishes of society, the solution
of the social enigma, the vitality of every thing and of
every idea. God bore—Man below—Human society
between God and Man : behold the three ends of all
political argument."
