PRIsON DIsCIPIINE SOCIETY.

This is a valuable document of ss pages, containing mass of Information relative to 1he condition of our Public Prisons. The facts were principally collected by the secreta- " uF the Society, Rev. Louis Dwight, during journey which he performed, in IS of the states. for the purpose of visiting the prisons and ascertaining their condition. Tine folE lowing is an abstract of the report.
 PROGRESS OF CRIME.
 The number of prisoners in the country at the present time is about $500, of whom one. third mart are in the state of New ' ork, one sixth in Pennsylvania, and one tenth ID Mas sacEusetts. From an examinatlon sof the census for the last 80 years, 1t is satisfactory te find that the increase of crime has not ex- ceeded the increase of population, as has been sometimes apprehended. Among the causes ofthis increase, are the dsgrdded character of the colonred Popaslation. : The following table shows the proportion of the coloured population 10 the whole white population, and the proportion of colUured convicts to the whole number of cOnvicts in several of the states.

Wholly unable, therefore, to assign cause for
the contemplated suspension Of the bteIcours in
question. the Undersigned apprehends that, for the
very reason that the object in view cannot be un-
derstood, it may be miscons,rued.
Having no instruction a contingency which
was not foreseen, he can, at this time, only ex-
press his regret, that measure which cannot be
viewed favorably by his Government, should have
been adopted, at the moment when he was au-
thorzed TO renew the negotiations on that subject,
and with awell-founded hope, from the liberal tenor
OF his instructions, that arrangement, founded
on principles ofmutual enience 10 both parties,
might be concluded.
II is well known that the delay in that respec,
due to causes under the control of the Uni
ted States, principally to the state of health Of Mr..
KING, which has ultimately deprived them Of his
services.
The reasons of The marked preference given by
the Government of the United States TO an ar
rangentment by treaty, instead of regulations
adopted by both countries, sufficiently obvious
II is highly important for all the parties concerned
essential for the security of commercial agricul-
turai operations, that the intercourse should be
p.acei on more permanent and explicit footing
than it car be by reciprocal laws. liable to be mo
dled or revoked at any time at the will Of either
party, and not always easily understood by those
on whom they operate. And the obstacles which
have prevented the u. States from accepting Tho
intercourse contemplated by the act of Parliament
which could only be done in toto, and by comply
ing with terms which they had not been con.
suited, may, it is believed. be easily removed BY
notifications essential to them, and which vii
n't. tits thought, be found inconsistent with tn,
interes. OF Great Britain.
The undersigned has taken view only of tn,
general tenor OF the Order in Council, and doe
not think it necessary to advert some of its de-
tails He believes the omission Of special men
ton OF the trade with the British provinces in tn,
East Indies, in that clause which makes a specia
exception respects that with the British posses
sons in Europe to be purely accidental. And h,
takes 1t tor granted, that it is not intended ex
tended the countervailing duties to the intercourse
by land or inland navigation, between the Unitet
States and the British possessions in North Anne

the United States do not apply TO that intercourse
