REFORMATION OF JUVENILE
OFFENDERS.

The annual report of the Philanthropic Society for
the Reformation of Juvenile Offenders, St. George's
fields, Southwark, has just been issued, from which
it appears, that since Jan. 1, 1847, eighty boys left
the Institution.

Of that number—Forty-three were regularly ap-
prenticed ; twenty placed in employment by their
friends or relatives; nine sent to sea, in the navy or
merchant-service; five left the Institution without
the permission of the Society; one (an invalid)
under the care of his parish at Norfolk ; and another
a Parkhurst boy has been convicted of a felony (after
living with his master six weeks) and is now trans-
ported.
The report states that—
" Ninety boys have been admitted since the same
date, (January 1), viz.,

15 On discharge from Brixton House of Correction,
5 .. .. Horsemonger Lane,
9 •• ... Westminster Bride well,
4 ... •.• Chester Castle,
1 .. .. Knutsford Gaol,
2 .. • • Salop County Gaol,
2 .. .. Newgate,
21 On the recommendation of London Magistrates,
3 • • • • ... of Country Magistrates,
and 28 .. ••• • • of Secretary Sir G.Grey.
" Of the twenty-four received on the recommenda-
tion of magistrates, most have been once or twice in
prison for previous offences.

- " Of the twenty-eight placed in the Institution by
Sir G. Grey, twenty-one were removed from Park-
hurst on the 16th of July; one from Exeter Gaol
on the 15th of June, and six from Millbank on the
27th of October.

" The boys received from Brixton, Horsemonger-
lane, Stafford, Chester, Knutsford, and Shrewsbury,
are admitted in consideration of contributions from
associations of county magistrates and others ; the two
received from Newgate are paid for from the sheriffs'-
fund. In the case of the boys from Parkhurst and
Millbank, the expenses of maintenance, outfit, &c.,
are defrayed by the Government.

" It will be seen, from the foregoing statement,
that the amount and extent of the society's labours, and
the calls on its interference, are continually increasing;
and the Committee see reason to believe, that the use •
fulness and success of the society's efforts have
equally augmented. Of the boys placed out in the
three previous years (1844-6) the very great majority
appear to be doing well, and give every promise of
being able to maintain themselves honestly and com-
fortably in the world. In the report published in
May last, it was stated, that thirty-nine out of the
fifty-five who left the institution in the year 1845,
and twenty-seven of the thirty-eight who left in
1846, were doing well, and behaving creditably. Of
the sixty-six so spoken of, only three have since dis-
appointed the Committee's expectation ; while, on the
other hand, several instances have occurred, in which
youths, on whom the society's care had seemed to be
spent in vain, have changed for the better, and be-
come steady and industrious.

" The facility with which good situations have been
obtained for the lads who have been discharged
from the Society's care is very encouraging—almost
every week has brought applications from masters
of respectable character and position for boys
trained in the society's school, a circumstance
chiefly attributable to the good conduct of the lads
who have been previously placed out. The parties
applying for apprentices being usually induced to
do so from what they have heard or seen of the
• Philanthropic ' boys.
" The committee wish that they had equal
reason to congratulate the society's friends on the
increase of its pecuniary resources. The Philan•
thropic has, however, suffered in common with other
valuable charities from the difficulties and embarrass-
ments which have prevailed so generally during the
last nine months."

M. George Fabricius, a German violinist and mu-
sical composer, committed suicide a few days ago at
Brussels, in consequence of having, from agitation, failed
in the rehearsal of a concert which he was to have given
on Monday at the Theatre Royal.—Galignani.
A LUCKY MAN.—On Friday last a person of Ab-
botkerswill, being too late for the express train to Ex-
exter, sauntered about the vicinity of the station until
the next train went. Having occasion to go down a by-
lane in the new road, he took a parcel, containing fo-
reign coins to the value of 501. from his trousers pocket,
and placed it on a stone by his side; shortly after he
went away and forgot his parcel. He arrived in Exeter,
and while going up Fore-street-hill he missed his money.
He immediately went back to the station, and was in
time for the express down train for Newton. On arriving
he directly proceeded ;to the lane he had been in three
hours previously, and fortunate for him, the money lay
undisturbed in the same place he had left it. Several
persons had passed the place during the time it was
there without noticing it. Devonshire Chronicle.

THE DEODORISING PROCESS.—Yesterday Mr. El-
lerman exhibited the extraordinary deodorising effects
of his disinfecting fluid, at Mr. Burt's premises, in York-
street, Westminster, before a number of medical and
scientific gentlemen. The experiments gone through
for the purpose of testing the virtues of the re-agent
were similar in their nature to those made at Hackney
on Tuesday last, although on a somewhat smaller scale.
In the first instance, two gallons of night soil were ex-
perimented upon, when the offensive and noxious gases
it emitted were at once neutralised by the addition of
only one pint of the fluid. In the succeeding experi-
ments the virtues of various other deodorising liquids,
namely, chloride of lime, and Mr. Beaufoy's and Sir
William Burnet's re-agent were compared with those of
Mr. Ellerman, when it was satisfactorily proved that the
latter possessed superior qualities, one pint producing
equal effects to three pints of either of the others, while
its cost is not above one-tenth. Dr. Ure, Dr. Carpenter,
Dr. Grainger, and other competent judges who were
present, expressed their perfect satisfaction at the result
of the experiments.

the outports in the kingdom, to admit rum, which has
been reduced in strength with water in the bonded
warehouses or vaults, to entry for home consumption,
and it appearing to the Board of Customs that such
practice was objectionable, and attended with great in-
convenience to the department, and moreover, unneces-
sary for the accommodation of the public, inasmuch as
spirits can now be imported in casks of twenty gallons
contents each, thereby affording to all parties the op-
portunity of purchasing the article in small quan-
tities, as imported, and of afterwards reducing it
when in their own possession equally as free from
adulteration as if reduced whilst under bond, the
practice of admitting for home consumption, i.e.,
for home use, on payment of the duty levi-
able on the article at so much per gallon of liquid
and proof-strength spirits, reduced with water in the
bonded warehouses or vaults, be forthwith discontinued.

tion from Mr. Parker, one of the Secretaries of the
