COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX.—At the adjourned meet-
ing of the magistracy yesterday, the report of the
chaplain to the House of Correction was read, stating
that during the past year many prisoners on their dis-
charge had found themselves provided with the means of
obtaining an honest livelihood, while many also were in
the Refuge for the Destitute learning trades, and ex-
pressing the greatest gratitude for the benefit thus con-
ferred upon them. The report also adverted to the
strong facilities the existing system of pawning offered
to the poorer classes for dishonestly disposing of articles.
Mr. Pownall congratulated the county on the fact that
while since 1631 the population had increased a quarter
of a million, crime appeared to have diminished, at least
so far as it was brought under the cognisance of the
magistracy. The number of persons charged with in-
toxication was less by 18,000 than in the preceding year.
He attributed this mainly to the extension of religious
instruction as well in the prisons as elsewhere.—
(Hear, hear.) Mr. Rotch also expressed his satisfaction
at the spread of temperance. The surgeon stated that
the mortality had been less last year than in any former
year. There had only been ten deaths among nearly
10,000 persons. The state of the prisons appeared
equally satisfactory to the magistracy, who expressed
their obligations on this subject to Mr. Sergeant Adams.
The rental of the county was returned at about six
millions. Mr. Pownall animadverted upon the discre-
pancy which appeared between the county returns and
those to the Property-tax Commissioners, and said there

then being late, the young men started off to the spot,
and just as they got in sight of the pond they observed
the young woman throw herself in. She was promptly
taken out of the pool, and conveyed into the house, when,
