REVELATIONS of PRISON LIFE;
with an inquiry into Prison Di3dt line and secondary Pun-
ishmi

By GEORGE LAVAL CHESTERTON,
Twenty-five Years Governor of the House of Correction at Cold

Bath-fields.

" Mr. Chesterton has had a rare ex erience of human frailty. In
his belief the N% orst of men have still some of the angel left Such a
testimmy, from such a quarter, is full of novelty as it is of interest.
As a curious hit of human history these volumes are remarkable.
They are very real, very simple, dramatic without exaggeration,
thilos phic without being' dull."—Athenocum.

HYDE PARK.

- Mr. W. EWART inquired of the First Commissioner
of Public Works whether it would not be possible by
arrangement or compromise to throw open to the pub-
lic the ground now given up to private occupancy in the
centre of Hyde Park, between the Humane Society's
Receiving-house near the Serpentine and the soldiers
quarters in the Park ?
Sir B. HALL said that Mr. Stevenson bad a life in-
terest in the house alluded to, and under such circum-
stances it was not intended during tha.t gentleman's life
to make any such arrangement.
ST. JAMES'S PARK.

Mr. HINDLEY wished to ask the hon. baronet whe-
ther it was intended to erect a bridge across the water,
and if such was the case whether care would be taken
to preserve the grass and walks ?
Sir B. HALL said he understood that the House of
Commons had ordered a suspension bridge to he erected
across the water in St. James's-park. Such a site would
be selected as was most convenient, and care would be
taken to interfere as little as possible with the grass and
walks.

MR. JAMES SADLEIR

Mr. ROERUCK gave notice that, on that day se'en-
night, he should move, unless Mr. Sadleir should in the
interval surrender, that he be expelled from the house.

COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS.

Mr. KINNAIRD asked whether it was the intention
of the Government to grant a new charter of incorpora-
tion to the Royal College of Physicians of London ?
Sir G. GREY said the subject of Eranting a new char
ter to the College of Physicians had been for some time
under consideration, but it bad been postponed from time
tr) time in consequence of certain reforms in the medical
.profession. Under these circumstances, there was no
immediate intention of granting a new charter.
JUNIOR OFFICERS OF THE ARMY.
Sir J. GRAHAM wished to ask the Secretary at War
a question, of which he had given him notice, namely,
whether, in the reduction of officers of inferior grade in
the army, any consideration would be given to those
who had obtained their commissions in consequence of
their proficiency at Sandhurst ?

Mr. F. PEEL said the only safe principle in reducing
the army was to diminish the number of junior officers.
Some of those junior officers had obtained their commis-
sions for proficiency in their studies, others had pur-
chased them, and others had become entitled to them
from the number of men furnished to the militia. Of
course it would seem an injustice to deprive, those gen-
tlemen of their commissions, who had obtained them as
the reward of studies at Sandhurst ; but it would be
equally unjust to deprive senior officers of their com-
missions in favour of juniors.
MAIN DRAINAGE OF THE METROPOLIS.
I❑ reply to a question from. Mr. BUTLER in reference
to the main drainage of the metropolis, on the rejec-
tion by the President of the Board of Works of the
plan propounded by the Metropolitan Board of Works,
Sir B. HALL said it was understood that the drainage
of the metropolis was to be carried out on the data laid
down by the Commissioners of Sewers in 1851, and,
in accordance with the terms of the late act
he called upon the Metropolitan Board of
Works for their plans, &o. They were submitted to him,
and he appointed Captain Birstall to examine them and
the river and report thereon. That officer did so, and
it was found that the plan propounded was in direct
opposition to the terms of the act of Parliament of last
session, that the point of discharge should be beyond the
limits of the metropolitan area. In consequence of that
he rejected the plan, but, at the same time, stated
his readiness to consider any other plans that might be
submitted to him for the drainage of the metropolis, in
accordance with the terms of the act referred to.

THEFT BY A LADY.—Yesterday, Jane Hampton, an

books from the stall of Mrs. Connelly, the newsyendor
Int the London and. Brighton Terminus, London Bridge.
A. 'detective officer 'stated he saw the prisoner take the
thitiiikt" " The:lllustrated Life of Palmer" and "The
Christmas Tree,v—from the stall and place them under
her cloak. The prisoner said she was merely taking
books to the waiting room to examine them, but when
she was charged wit baying the stolen property in her
possession she denied the fact. Mr. A'Beckett sen-
tenced her to two months' imprisonment.
London, England, 1856-07-15

dragged from their homes on the most
trivial pretexts--immured in loathsome dun-
g,ons, and hurried to the mockery of a trial,
,Rhere every member of the court is subjected fo
the direct influence of the prosecution—where
none of the so-called judges would dare to acquit
any man when the authorities desired to convict !

Lord CLARENDON declares that Austria is itself
willing to terminate this inauspicious occupation.
We trust that it may be so, for that will render
tbe Italian question easy of solution. We can-
not, however, pin our faith on the state-
ments of diplomatists. One fact is worth
a score of professions, and the removal of her
troops would be of far greater value than any-
thing that could possibly be said on the subject.

It is admitted that the answer of Boma& has
been exceedingly unsatisfactory. It could not,
if we are to judge from the declarations of Lord
CLARRNDON, have been more so. It will, there-
fores be incumbent on England, if she desires to
maintain her prestige, to show that she has
not uttered vain and empty threats, but
I hat since her friendly remonstrances have
proved unavailing, she will discover other means
of enforciig respect. Of course it is desirable
that England and France should co-operate, but
whether they do so or not, no time should be lost
in teaching a salutary lesson to King BOMBA,
And proving to him beyond the possibility of
doubt that he cannot withstand the power of
England, even though he receive the support of
A.ustria which may have been promised, but which
will more probably be withdrawn in the hour of
need.

the samples of the public sale which takes place this day.
SUGAR.—The market has ruled firm, at fujly previous
rates f.r both colonial and foreign. There still continues
a good demand for home use and for exportation.
COFFEE.-But little business has .been done in this
article, owing to the high rates demanded by holders.
Purchasers are awaiting the results of the public sales ad-
vertised during the week.
RicE.---There has been a continued demand for the
cleaned common_kinds, and New Balla.my and other infe-
rior descriptions met a ready sale at fully previous rates.
Rini —The market has been very firm, and the high
prices have in a great measure checked business.. The
transactions entered into have been very limited. Fine
Jamaica brought 48 8d per proof gallon.
TALLOW.—Tho demand has sensibly increased, and the
heavy deliveries have had a decided influence upon the
market. P.Y.C. on the spot Ms 9d, and last three months

To-day the show of the Royal Agricultural Society'

THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE ARMY.
The Duke of SOMERSET asked the Secretary of
State for War whether in the appointment recsntly made
to the office of Commander-in Chief of the Army, her
Majesty's advisers had recommended that that appoint.
ment should be made under different circumstances than
formerly ; secondly, whether the position of the present
Commander-in. Chief in regard to the Secretary of War
was different to that of the former gallant nobleman ?
Lord PANMURE said, in answer to the first ques-
tion, he begged briefly to state that no alter ition what-
ever had been made in the terms of the appointment
of the present Commander-in-Chief from those of any
former appointment to the same office. In regard
to the second question. no difference whatever
had been made in the preient appointment in the
relation whicea existed between the Secretary of State
for War and the Commander-in-Chief. He had on a
former occasion stated his opinion that in the arrange-
ments which existed between the Secretary of State and
the Commander-in-Chief the responsibility of the acts of
the Commander-in-Chief was laid upon the Scretary of
State. He made no appointments of the higher class
—staff appointments—without consulting the Secretary
of State. In touching upon this question he felt he was
only doing his duty to the late Commander-in-Chief in
expressing the deep regret which her Majesty's Govern-
ment felt at his resignation of the chief command of the
army. (Hear.) He knew of no individual who could
have filled with greater credit to himself and satisfaction
to the army and the country the responsible office of
Commander in-Chief than the gallant nobleman whose
services in that capacity had just terminated.
- Lord MELVILLE, while concurring in the tribute
paid by the noble lord to the merits of the late COM-
mander-in-Chief, joined in the general congratulation
which existed in respect to the appointment of the noble
viscount's successor. (Hear.) He, however, thought
that all military promotion should be vested exclusively
iu the hands of the Commander-in-Chief, and that he
should have under his command the discipline and orga-
nisation of the army. The divided authority which existed
under the present system was greatly to be deprecated.

METROPOLITAN SCHOOL OF ARTS.—Lord Stanley 0
Alderley,as President of the Board of Trade, distributed
the prizes to the students of the Metropolitan School of
Arts on Saturday last at Marlborough-house. In the
course of his observations he announced that it had
been determined to hold in the year 1858 an exhibition
of those works of ornamental art produced since the
establishment of the schools of art, as articles of com-
merce which, either in their original design, or in
their entire or partial execution, have been carried out
by those who have derived instruction from the schools.
3r, &c. He also spoke
The works would consist. of carvinqs in all materials,
siwcilriknamogr,ep(!imtteprtant r?
measure for pro-
foufrnit
anotherure, metal,
and
tmoting the extension of art instruction. Instead of
limiting the award of prizes to students taught in the
schools of art, the department would hereafter hold
examinations at which any person might present him-
self to be examined in free band and mechanical draw-
ing. If a certain standard of excellence were attained,
then the student would receive a prize, and the school
where he was educated, if a poor school, would obtain
an allowance to repay, as it were, the cost which had
been incurred in teaching drawing. By degrees it
was intended to extend this sy-tem to all parts of
the United Kingdom, the rate of extension being de-
termined by the funds which Parliament might vote
for the object. His lordship declared that be thought
it far better to give prizes to students educated without
btale assistance than limit the award of them to those
who were directly or indirectly indebted to the Govern-
'. =eat for aid,

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY:
The Moniteur publishes a report from the go-
vernor of Senegal, giving the following details of
a new expedition into th interior on the east of
Seneg tl:

" The expedition left St. Louis on the Bth and 9th
March, and on the 11th reached Merinaghen. There
Eli, son of the King of Trarzas, who has fled to the
Cayor2 proposed to the French to enter into alliance
with them, and to assist them in making war on his
own father ; but the governor, suspecting his sincerity,
rejected his overtures, and certified to him that the ter-
ritory of Onalo, to which his father had some preten-
sions, must henceforth be considered French. The ex-
pedition afterwards proceeded through a hitherto unex-
plored country, covered with gum-tress, and frequented
by cobas (a sort of large antelope), wild boars, giraffes,
and elephants, to the fort of Richard Toll, and on the
way it ordered the chiefs of the subjected villages
of N'tiago and N'docabo to complete earth fortifi-
cations around them, which they had commenced.
The - governor subsequently visited Podor and the
camp of Koundi, and also made excursions up the river
to beyond the village of Edi, and in the principal branch
of the river to Barobe, 100 leagues from St. Louis. In
the course of these excursions he received protestations
of friendship from the population of Toro, and from
those of the Fonta. On the 27th Sidi, the competitor
of Mahomed for the sovereignty of the Trarzas, waited
on the governor, and was well received. As the French
support his pretensions, the governor, in compliance
with his request, ordered a column to accompany him
to Abayhe ; but owing to the river having fallen low, it
was unable to proceed further than Masou. There it
fell in with some Moors of the hostile tribe of Goddala,
and, a skirmi,h taking place, after killing the chief of
the tribe, captured some oxen and goods. On the 31st
the column went to Sarpoli, and from thence marched
with Sidi to the Lake N'Beriat. A new engagement
with the Moorish tribes of the Goddala4 the Ouledisiide,
the Talars, &c., then took place, and a Tanag chief
and five Moors were killed, and 10 Moors, 4,000 sheep,
and some oxen were captured. On the Ist April the
expedition returned to Podor, and on the 21 it made a
new expedition into the interior, which presented no-
thin.. important. On the 31 a notification was issued
at Podor and St. Louis, that the King of the Braknas
being established opposite Podor, the gum traffic in that
district was permitted."

In closing his despatch, the Governor says that a
caravan of gum had already reached Podor, and
that another was expected.

SHOCKING CASE.

About five weeks ago the father and mother of a child
named Ellen Barratt, residing at Apsley Guise, a village
near Woburn, Beds, were committed for trial on the
coroner's warrant, charged with causing the death of the
child by neglect, starvation, and brutality. On Friday,
in consequence of additional evidence obtained, Eliza-
beth Barratt, aged 29, deceased's eldest sister, was
charged at the Woburn petty sessions with being acces-
sery to the death. The witnesses for the prosecutioa
were the prisoner's sister, Charlotte Barratt, Julia Bar-
ratt, and Susannah Barratt. The last-named loiled
about 14 years old, but was stated to be 22. The others,
though aged respectively 14 and 12, did not appear more
than 7. Their evidence disclosed a continuous and
almost incredible series of cruelties practised by the pri-
soner and her parents on deceased and her sisters, who
had been kept at work 14 hours a day lacernaking, with
gruel, bread, and dripping, and some garden stuff, for
their food when their work was finished ; but if not done
they were sent to bed. without supper, and had to get up
early next morning, standing naked at their work, in the
cold, until they had finished it. Their breakfast was
coffee "grouts" and a piece of bread two inches square.
Toe prisoner had held them while the mother put sheep
and cow dung in their mouths, and the children were
also made to sit with t'reir bare flesh on thistles and
nettles placed in their chairs. Numerous other cruelties
were inflicted upon them. Deceased was kept two or
three days without food. She died on Sunday, the 30th
March, having been kept at work constantly up to five
o'clock. on the previous evening. She had nothing to
eat all day, and was sent supperlesa to bed, her mother
beating her all the way up-stairs with her stays, because
she asked for something to eat. She made a noise in
the night, and was again beaten by her mother, and told
to lie still. She then attempted to sing a hymn, and
her last words were, "Lord Jesus ! let me do my work
next week."

Mr. Williams, a surgeon, said that deceased's body
was remarkably small and undeveloped, the face idiotic,
shrivelled, and monkey-like ; the stomach, which con-
tained about an ounce of gruel, could hardly be distin-
guiShed from the colithtuation of the small intestines. He
attributed its small size to constant disuse. Deceased
was twelve years old, but the stomach was not bigger
tban that of a chid at five. Her death was attributable
to over work, hard treatment, and insufficient food.
Sum:mail Barra:t, when in the workhouse, nearly
doubled her weight in two months. The prisoner, who
denied all the statement made by her si,ters, was com•
matted for trial.

A SINGULAR GATHERING.—The centenary of the
Octagon Chapel, at Norwich, which has just been cell,"
brated, presented features of a peculiar character. The
chief point of interest was the assemblage from all parte
of the empire and from France of the livi-og represents;
tives of the families of the Taylors and Marcineaus.
°L
these two families alone no less than 56 members were
present. The history of the founding of the Octagett
Chapel, the home of the Presbyterian congregation jo
Norwich, has been written by the late Mr John Taylor,
and continued by the Gresham Professor of Music,
son. The Norwich congregation may be said to have
become of more importance after the election of Dr. J.
Taylor, whose ministry at Norwich commenced in 1732'
The Octagon Chapel was commenced in 1754, the fires
stone being laid by Dr. Taylor, and was opened May 12,
1756, by that minister. Various noted men have from
time to time filled the position of Dr. Taylor, among
them Mr. Robt. Alderson, who quitted it for the law,
and became Recorder of Norwich, of whom the present
Sir Edward Alderson, one of the Barons of the Era
chequer, was the eldest and most distinguished son. Dr.
Enfield was another of the ministers—among whose
pools were Chief Justice Daman and the present
Bishop of Durham.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 21st contains the fol-
lowing :—" The director of the Gazette has re-
ceived orders to insert the following article lite-
rally :—Various journals of the capital have pub-
lished during the last few days different versions
of what is supposed to have been said and decided
in the Council of Ministers, and have commented
at pleasure on words and facts of their invention.
In order that persons of :good faith may not be
misled, it is right that they should be told-Ist,
That the news to which we allude has not the least
foundation ; and 2dly, That there exist hone of
the dissensions dreamed of and perhaps desired
between Ministers, which enable manufacturers o f
new Cabinets to put forward proper names and
cause persons to act. All the Ministry have one
sole and similar policy—that represented by the
illustrious Duke de la Victoria."
The same journal says :—"lt is stated that tLe
Count de Lucena (O'Donnell) being determined
not to wear any other decorations than those of
Spain, has not accepted several foreign grand
crosses recently offered him. Nothing, accord-
ing to the Gazette, has yet been decided relative to
the railway to Portugal, and it says that three
routes have been submitted to the Government-1.
One by Mr. Mauby, by Caceres, Alcantara, and
Santarem—(this is the shortest, and would, it is
said, make Lisbon the centre of an immense com-
merce to the ruin of Cadiz and Vigo) ; 2. One by
Ciudad Real, Merida, and Badajoz ; and 3. One
by Talavera, Caceres, Merida, and Badajoz, with a
branch from Merida to Seville. It is one of the
last two which is considered most likely to be
adopted by the Cortes. The Exhibition of Works
of Art had been opened.
