THE Topic olr CONVERSATION IN HIGH
In tbe'lashionable circles the conduct of a certain
Barthiet has excited a lively feeling of horror
and disgust; We allude .to an ind visual, who
a year or two ago seduced the wife of a Peer, of
whom but one opinion was then and is now en-
tertained, that he'WAS one of the most honourable
men in the United Kingdom. The parties were
divorced. The guilty pair retired to the Conti-
nent, and were there married agreeably to the
ritual of the RomiSh Church. They:. have been
residing within the limits of the Papal See, until
lately, When, to the surprise of every one, the
principal aggressor deserted his untorfunate part-
ner, and eloped with another woman.—(Morni►tg

Mr. 'BENNET moved for the return of the niim.
ber of persons, male and female, at present con-
fined in- Newgare under sentence of death, with
the dates of th'eir sentences, 'and the crimes of
which they had, been found guilty. It had been
his lot at various times during• the last two years
to bring:. 'fOrWard this subject
.before the House,
• At present there were from 60 to 63 persons in
• Newgare 'under sentence Of death. He could not,
on this oecoion, avoid again adverting to the
Sitttation of the priSbners in Neivgate, who were
crowded together in narrow Cells, where ftey had
trot roan for proper exercke, and where they
Were Suffering the estreniest hardships. If there
was-not room, why did nut the city of I,nntlim
ap,,ly to Parliament for aid, ami for a large space
in WbiCh to confine prisonets He imputed' no
bkrne-whatever to the cespecrable individual who
t present was keeper of tbe prison ; on the.con-
traiy, 'he felt himself bound to'say, that no indi-
-vidual,,Since the days of Howard, could have
ittidieff more to alleviate the miseries of imprison-
incur than Mr. Brown done, He (Mr. Ben-
, • I
-tiet) had repeatedly, on former occasions, repro-
bated the practice of delaying to report pH-sinters
il"nder sentence of death to the Crown, and he
Could t•.ot refrain from i'elieating his opinion on
the subject On the preient occasion also.
Al(krritall ATKINS said, it was e'sitreinely to be
rereftert that the condemned cells in the gaol of
-Newgate were ouly.calthilated, for the reception
offorty persons.- It-never was anticipated that,

there would be occasion for more accommodation.
