The following extract from the Report of the Po.
lice Committee will be found to contain an interest.
ing account of the various Penitentiary Estahlish-
ments in the Metropolis, particularly those snpp rued
' by private bents- lence
" Your Committee have .vamined much evideri,e
in to the general managamerit of the vArinus.Peni.
teatirry Establislimeots iireported by private bene-
volence which exist in the Metropolis. They refer
ereralir to the tastirrinny of those hest qualified to
I give Vie most correct information 'n to plAces;
and the concurrent opinion is favourable to memor.i
such as they t%ink it their duty to recommend. nal
Refuge for the Destitute' and the Philenthrapie hare
fully answered the views of their charitmi?;- lour:tiers
aral benefactors. They have redeemed lintelreds
from the ruin and misery into which they we:e
plunged; and it is with peculiar satisfaction your
Committee have learnt, that the only check to the fur.
ther progress of thissreAt work is to be fund in the
deficiency of the Nods at present appri.priated for
that purpose. That deficiency it is the object of yout
Committee to supply; and they feel convinced that
the Government cannot more economically employ
the hinds of the public, than in the construction of
places of Penitentiary confinement.
" Your Committee hay • inquired into the expenses
of the maintenance of persons in the different Peni-
tentiAry establishments, as well as the numbet of in.
dividuals they are calculated to hold : with the excep.
don of that at Milbank. they are all supported by
voluntary contributions.
" The Refuge for the Destitute, on the 14th of May
last, contained 40 males and 60 temales—the former
cost annually for rood end clothier.: 112317%. and the
latter about £2B 1 ts. the difference arises from a
greater allowance J fond being given to the feeriAles
who work extra hours. The success of this Society
has been considerable ; and it has been found that
About two thirds of the persons confined and employed
there hive been reformed, and returned to habits of
industry. Your Committee have also learnt, that the
applications from persons of both sexes In enter into
this Establishment are most numerous, both I the
.criminel as well as the destitute poor ;_and that if the
funds of the.lnstitution were greater, a much latlet
proportion of those persons would be received.
ThePhilaiithropic Society contains at present 41
girl, and 160 boys, the children of convicts, and those
who are convicted themselves. The expense per head,
dividing the cost of the whole establishment by the
number of persons, ii-X35 per annum. But your Com.
mittee. observe, that 'die apprentices, to the number-cf.
60, maintain the/Melees. hiving earned near 02,000
last year, the principal expense being incurred for the
younger part of die comMunity. - This Insti (ion has.
tollranswered the viers_ of its beueyolent founders.
By much the greater yroportion of those who have
been brought up, then cat well, and fully Warrant the
remark of one of Thoth who had deviated a little from
the rules of discretion and hood conduct,. then within
its walls the Society taught them habits which they
could not get rid of if they would.'
" Your Committee wish to 'direct the attention of
the public to this excellent Institution, which is well
deserving a more extended patronage, not only for the
end which. the Eqablishmein has in view, but also for,
the success which has attended its lAbaurs, arising
from the excellence of its regulati •nseetaid the frugal
manner in which its funds.are administered.
" The Magdalen Hospital contains St/females; it has
been established t rom the year 1758, and has from that
period to the present day admitted about 4.594 per.
sons, of whom 30:2 have been restored to their
friends, or placed in reputable service ; 912 have been
discharged at their oan request; 556 for improper
behaviour. and 85 have died while in the Hospital.
01 246 women who were discharged in the last four
years, or every desc-iption, 157 are reformed; 74
have relapsed; 4 are insane, one is dead, and of ten
the situation is not known ; so that it may beestiinated
that two-thirds of the a omen who enter into this Society
are permanently reclaileed ; the average age of those
unfortunate femaks is from 17 to 18. They apply
very young, some few at even 13 or 14, but geasr.illy
mom 15 to 25; some have been admitted there of 12
years of age.
" The Loudon Female Penitentiary contains 100
persons, at an average expence, per head, of At 23.
This Institution has been established about ten years ;
in that time 2)00 persons have petitioned to be ad-
mitted,
and 515 alone have been received. of wham

ASSIZE COURT OF L'AVEFRON.

On the Sittings of the Sd and 4th instant, the
Counsel for the prosecution and the defence were
beard. The following is the brief substance of their
• ornaments s
M. MMUS, Counsel for the son of the late M.
Tumid.% spoke for seven boon. He commented en
the strange and contradietoty testimony given by
Madame Manson, which be ascribed partly to the do-
minion of terror over her, and the tear of losing her
life if the assassins should escapes partly to the obli.
gation of the -Most dreadful of ell oaths, and a gene-
rous feeling towards the person who had saved her
life. Notwithstanding these the Advents contended,
from her various admissions, from those very contra.
dictions, and above all, from the exclamations she
made respecting Jansiod and flastide before the Tri-
bunal, that she must. have been •in Bancal's boom,
and witnessed the- easa,knation committpd by the
prisoners. He observed that itsmattivei wit that Ma-
dame Manson wished to contradict herself to destroy on
oneday the impression she had madams that preceding.
The facts that he hadfiretraced sufficed to show that'
she knew all the truth; and that tenth had escaped,
her in spite.,of herself. The Advocate passed non to
the robbery of hl. Fealties' house, and contended
that it was the cause and abject of the assassination'.
He sheered that the day atter the murder, between
six mid seven o'clock in the morning, Jausion, under
the veil of friendship, introduced himself into the
Louse of M. Fualdes, that he rummaged the apart-
ments, broke open the drawer of a bureau, carried off
essential papers, the journal and portfolio which were
shut up in it, in order that there might esist no trace
of the situation in which he stood with M. Fauldes ;
that Easampe, the set vent, having surprised Jausion,
• holdisig a bag of money in his hand, had keen recom-
mended by him to say nothing about it ; that Janda;
had since said nothing of that bag of money, either
to M. Fualdes' widow or his son. He concluded-
by sheering that the objects both of Jausion and Sas-
'tide were to destroy all trace of the debts which they
owed to M. Fualdes, and even to get possession of
his whole fortune, amounting to the sum of 160,000
francs, to the entire exclusion of his widow and son.
The guilt of &wide was shown from his pretended
leaving Rhodes on the evening of the murder, and
his returning the same evening in a quarter of an
hour, and putting up his horse I from his having sp.
pointed eight o'clock to meet hi Fualdes (the very
.night and hour of the murder), to pay hint the
10,000 francs he owed; from his extraordinary ques-
tion to M. Fualdes' servant, if his master was at home,
when all the town knew he had been else:sleeted the

night before; and from the circumstance of the key
of M. Fualdes' bureau having fallen from his side
while be was in the room with the servant. To they
the general immorality of &nide, M. Meths ad-
verted to his holding a pistol to his own father's
throat, to extort money from him; and to Ids beating
a person with a stick on the highway at aisle. and
demanding of him 2.5,000 franca.
The Arroasis:-Gzestuto being only employed
against Jausion and &nide. next addrealed the Court.
Ile accused the prisoners of endeavouring to mislead
justice, by 'pleading repasts (in.sloing which their
Mends also assisted them), that this murder was
committed by loyal persons attached to this.
" Those said the Aths a ssidighosi•

the deka: of the assassin." After haviagjten of
the manner is which the unfortunate F was
stopped and dragged into Bowel's house, the At-
torney-General said—" Let us confine. for a mo-
ment, our imagination to that infamoos place.
which, having before been often the theatre of d:
banchery, had yet to become• that of a most hor-
rible assassination. Represent to yourselves the un-
fortunate Fualdes. estimded and held down upon a
table. employing: prayers and tears to soften the
rage of his hatehers, whom nothing could move..

Alin Benoit, who appear not to have been the only
persons of their se: present at this bloody tragedy,
moved by feelings of pity se natural to women. would
bait eudeavonred to have saved the unhappy lodides.
But, no I they even lighted the assassins, that-they
ari*bt the better direct their blows ; and it was the
woman Based who received, in a bucket, the blood
of the victim. One of these monsters plunged the
knife in him, while the others fed eagerly on his ems.
vuldoos; and were only satisfied when they saw be
bad breathed his last." Auer an exact analysis or
the evidence, the Attorney-General said to the Jury
g, We have Ewe so fen all that serves to support
the accusation we have brought against the Weis&
duals before you. We have retraced the facts fee.

M. C►sta►asrs. Counsel far the female Basal, nig

swami of its being put in emtcuticas ; and that then
she acted from fear sad under the indictee of her
husband; that she sot nothing by the crime. and
that amsequantly the was not interested in the com-
mission of its and that the assassins were numerous
