From Our Own Correspondence
FLORENCE. August 8, 1866.
a deputy In Parliament has been amusing
himself during the late hot weather by com.
piling some statistics On the agreeable mat
ter Of the public prisons. lie finds that the
prisoners escape good dcal-ln fact that
the number Of fugitivcs from this class Of

dollars per dnaum. Tie honorable deputy

they have risen somewhat in price since the
change ofioycrnmcnt, even u deputy ought
not to be n1armca to learn that they arc still
in tho market.
