Mr. Huskg, the secretary, Mr. Weaver, and the assis-
tant chaplain, the Rev. J. P. Bust, by whom they were
conducted over the various departments of the establish-
ment. The Conde de Monternolin expressed the very
highest interest in the system, of discipline and in all the
arrangements adopted in the prison. Teonde re-
peatedly observed that he had seen nothing so complete
Or so likely to be effectual for the great moral and social
purposes intended. The Conde was pleased to express
his great obligation to the governor and officers for their

the whole might be complete.
