WIIITECROSS-STREET PRISON.

Court of Requests' cases continue to crowd this me-
lancholy abode. A strong instance of the effect of the power en-
trusted to creditors by the existing laws occurred a few days ago.
It smote even the hearts of the turnkeys, accustomed as they are
to scenes of wretchedness, and insensible to ordinary distress.
Wm. Lillo, an upholsterer, who had been out of work since
Christmas, was committed to Whitecross-street prison, for the sem
if 11. Os. 6d. due to W. Bird, a baker, for bread. The unfortu-
r.ate debtor has a wife and eight children. (two of whom are infant
twins,) and the eldest of whom is not more than 12 years old. The
plaintiff bad summoned him first at Whitechapel, which neigh-
bourhood Lillo was obliged to quit. He was afterwards summoned
to the Holborn Court of Requests, and taken in execution.—
His wife called at the prison, carrying her two infants in her arms,
and we cannot give a more emphatic description of the group than
one of the turnkeys gave in a few words :—" The children looked
like two small skeletons, feeding upon a large one." The Craven-
street Society,of which Mr.Balmanno is the zealous and intelligent
Secretary, upon bearing of the case, offered thirteen shillings
for the liberation of the debtor, whose sentence was imprison-
ment for forty days, in default of payment, and a good deal
of solicitation was used before the compromise was ac-
cepted. Pending the negociation about the compromise, the turn-
keys would most willingly have paid the difference themselves, but
that the creditor would have benefitted, and their indignation was
a more powerful motive than their pity. On Saturday last the
poor man received his discharge.—The punishment for owing It.
is 20 days imprisonment, and 20 days more, of the same infliction,
are visited upon a poor insolvent who happens to owe a halfpenny
above that suns.
The improvement in Whitecross-street prison is very apparent.
On Sunday last, our Correspondent went over the prison. Divine
service was attended by about one hundred and fifty prisoners,
many of whom are aged persons, and most of whom are the
victims of misfortune. The Reverend Sir. Carver, the chaplain,
whose humanity and good sense have greatly endeared him to
this perpetually changing congregation, was listened to with
the most profound attention, while he preached to them on
the subject of emancipating their minds from the dominion of
stn. One very great addition has been made I. the comfort of
those who are confined, within the last few weeks—the erecting of
a steam-kitchen, in which the victuals of all the prisoners are dress-
ed. It was formerly matter of heavy complaint that cooking is con-
st Jntly going forward in the wards. The steam-kitchen, which was
projected by Aid. Wood, and made by the mechanic who supplied
the ships which sailed for the North Pole with apparatus of the
5, me description, has put an end to this complaint. We under-
stand that the subject of Court of Requests debts at present oc-
cupies the attention of many of the most active members of the
Corporation, who, no doubt, will co-operate with Mr. Pearson in
procuring a speedy alteration in the system which must extensively
supplies the ptison of Newgate with inmates.
While Captain John 0. Erskine, of the brig Scots-
man, of Dundee, was standing at the main hatchway giving
orders to his men in stowing the cargo he was taking in at St. Pe-
tersburgh, a cask was swung on board, which precipitated Mr.
Erskine to the bottom of the hold, a height of fourteen feet, and
he was killed on the spot. This accident has deprived his widow
and three children of an excellent husband and parent.
The Acorn, Skining, of rkundee, while on her pas-
sage from Riga to Whitehaven, on the 21st ultimo, tell in with the
Helen of Greenock, dismasted and abandoned, between Port
Patrick and the Mud of Galloway. The Acorn took her in tow,
but the rope broke.
The higher north-east range of the Grampians ap-
peared on the 28th nit. in their winter covering. The snow fell thick
in those districts on the preceding and following night, and drifted
so much, that the drovers on their way to and from Braemar mar-
ket, had great difficulty in keeping their flocks together.
