Amid the Tislons of Uie night , I gased Bpon a burning mount , That poured forth itreama of lava bright , Jjid flames , as twere a Eery fount , In ghastly heaps lay , all around , The forms of dead and dying men ; White blackened ruins strewBd the ground . Lo ! suddenly twa « quenched , and , then , What think ye did the sufferers ? Why , straight became this mountain ' s worshippers And yet no savages were these , No dwellers in the southern isles ; No rosmers nnder bsni&n tr « es
Where Pagan rites the scene defiles : They worship senseless stocks and stones . To nobler' objects Christians bow ; Such deem they blood-stainedeonqnerow' bones Idiots witb crowns upon their brow And knaves that are to Mammon sold , With nothing sterling , save it be their gold ' Tea , bear him to the Place Fendome J Beside that brazen pillar tall ; And when the strangers wondering come To « e « ye kneeling , one and aAl Unto to their questioning reply " A quenched volcan * lyetb . here ; An eagle that no more shall fly -To fill the world with wo and fear ; And unto these we homage pay , Because 'tis glorious to devastate and slay !"
Then boast of kingdoms overturned , Or Jtna , and of Austerlitz ; Of cities in the red flames burned ; And say , be sure , it -well befits An humble follower of Him For us upon the Cross who died , Through seas of human blood to swim , With mad Ambition for a guide ; That thoughts of justice , mercy , love , Should never interfere such purposes to move . When will that light , which , long ago , First shone on this benighted earth , So penetrate mch spot below That men shall know a second birth : Beholding things tht-y see not now , For dim and filmed is their vision ; When , when will all the millions bow To that which truly is Elysian—Pure , holy , and above decay ?

LEE'S PENNY FORGET-ME-NOT ; a Book for all Reasons , and a Holiday Offering for Youth of both Sexes . Cleave , London . l « 4 l . This is one of the cheapest and best presents for youth wnich we have yet seen , and we cordially hope that the reading public will evince their conviction of the necessity of providing for the combined amusement and instruction of the young , by affording to the proprietor the support which hia
exertions to secure this desirable object entitles him to expect . The pieces selected are extremely diversified in their tone- and cnaracter . Some are grave and some are gay . One story is calculated to instruct , and . another to amuse . The work is indeed calcula-ed for all times , and likely to be a favourite at every s » son . It is equally fitted to be the companion of a country raable , or to add to the diversified pleasures of a social party round a winter ' s evening fire . We give , as a specimen of the contents , a sweet rural poem , entitled " The Village W edamg , " which , we think , will secure the approbation of our readers : —
THE VILLAGE WEDDING . See : the venerable white robed Priest , With hallow'd rites hath bound the happy pair In racwd union ! See the blushing bride Advancing , now her fingers new acquest , The matron honour of the ring surveys ; >" ow on the delegated-youth reflects The glance oblique , not ill-returned : for he , With eager eye devouring all her eharms , Rapt on fond fancy's wings , with sweet foretaste Anticipates tacl : fu' . ure joy .

The weed-iiouk rests , nor sounds the lusty flail . Tha work is embellished with Eeveral pretty engraTiDgs , and is neatly done up for a Christmas present . We cordiaUy wish it success . LAICUS UNMASKED , A POEM ; being a reply to the ^ ross misrepresentations and unfounded allegations of Laiccs , the great centenarian , in which is explained the principles and practife of Total and Entire Abstinence , by LUvid Ross . Heywood , Manchester . This little work is evidently the production of a mind deeply impressed with the sad effects of habits
ot intemperance , and with the beauty and excellence of total abstinence . The sentiments are good ; but the author evidently writes in haste , and without that regard to style which is indispensable to every one vrho wishes to write well . On re-writing his poem fur a second edition , he will , we hope , see the necessity oi remodellug some of the expressions so as to give to his ideaa- a more easy snd natural flow . By a little care and attention to this matter , his labours will be rendered more acceptable to the puLiic , aiid , consequently , more useful to the cause he has at heart . We subjoin the following beautiful apostrophe to water as a specimen : —
"All hail , bright water , offspring of the sea , Daughter of ocean , boundless , ever free ! "Whose rapid rivere , rushing to the main In silver streamlets , fructify the plain . Thoa , as a beveraee , our regard ahouldst claim , Who ne ' er the che * k of innocence did shame ; Each lovely flower that rears its beauteous head , By thee , in peariy drops , is ever fed . Of tice bereft , no charms couid they impart , Yield ought of fragrance , or delight the heart , J * or spotle&s lily c ' . othe the hills with pride , >' or guiden daisy crown the mountain side ; T ^ e gra . ssy glacie , the oak , majestic tree , Wo \ ild vtrisb ail , blest water , but for thee .

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BIRMINGHAM AND DERBY RAILWAY . TERDICT OP HANSLAUGHTBB . Birmingham , Saturday Evening . The Coroner's inquest on the body of the unfortunate man , Richard Blaek , who met his death on the Birmmgham and Gloucester Railway , on Wednesday evening last , commenced yesterday , and terminated this morning , as will be seen by the following abridged report , in the committal of two men f * r manslaughter .
But subsequently Mr . Marsoa , one of the under-contractors for the repairs of the line , was also committed by a magistrate , to take his trial for negligence , in allowing an obstruction on the line , contrary to the provisions of Lord Seymour ' s Act The proceedings were opened at the Swan Inn , Nether Whitacre near Coleshill , where the body of Black now lies . Mr . G C . Greenway , of Warwick in the absence of Mr . Whatoley , presided as coroner . The Earl of Aylesford , who resides in the neighbourhood , was present , and took great interest in the proceedings .
The first witness called was William Poultoq , guard on the line , who deposed that he was with the downtrain which left Birmingham at half-past . five t >; clock on Wednesday evening . They arrived at Colenhill station at twelve minutes past eight o'clock , being fiye minutes behind time , and on reaching Orgrel ' s-end Bridge , near Whitacre , they came in contact , as be subsequently ascertained , with a small truck on the rails . The concussion detached the engine and tender , which went off the line of the railway , and two of the first carriages , which were of the third class , were turned over upon their Bides . ; The remainder of the train consisted of second class carriages , and one of the first class . These kept on the line and ran on about thirty yardB . The deceased , who was riding in one of the third class carriages , was , pulled from under the
engine quite dead . The stoker , whose name was Atkins , had one of Tiis 'legs broken , but the engineer was not hurt . Another man , named Naylor , was much bruised , and was lying at a farmkbuse in the neighbourhood . It was moonlight . There was nothing in the way that they could see . There were no luggage waggons attached tb the train . The truck -was used by the plate-layers for the purpose of carrying materials along the line . . By the Coroner—The truck was certainly not in its proper place when the train came up , for the train was due and behind time ; If the nien had been any way quick , they might have turned the truck over , and got it out of the way before the arrival of the train . It was usual to keep trucks on the rails for the purpose of
repair , and when the train arrived to throw them off . But he did not see that there was any necessity for having a truck on the line at all at the time the accident occurred . The men were not required to work on on the railway longer than daylight He never saw any men at work on the line after dark before that night Men were stationed along the line at every part which was considered in any way to be dangerous . Whenever there sraa anything wrong , a . man was placed with a signal lamp . There were also inspectors , whose duty it was to take caro of certain lengths of the line . He could not tell whether there were any inspectors between Coleshill and VVhitac-e the night the accident occurred , but he knew there was one stationed at Coleshill .
George Somerville , being sworn , stated that he was engine-driver to the three quarter past 11 a . m . train from Derby and the half-past five o'clock train from Bir . mingham . They arrived at Whitacre at the time stated by the last witness . He never recollected seeing a truck on the line after dark before . that night . He did not see anybody with the truck , and indeed he never Baw anything until he was in the ditch , where ho met one rmn ( whom he did not know ) , who confessed he was with tho truck , but he ( witness ) had not time to question him further , as he hud to look after , bin mate , the stoker , and he did not s » e the man afterwards . The engine and carriage were in excellent working order , and whou » he accident occurred all was going un as well as they could go .
By Mr . Carter—Mv . John Stevenson was the contractor for the maintenance of the permanent way from Hampton to Tarn worth , and Mr . Marson was employed under him to uto tha WQik kept in order . For that purpose i . e had gangs of men along the line , under the orders of a uupjtintendent . If he ( witness ) had seen a truck on the liue during tho day , it would have been his business to report it to Mr . Hartley , the superintendent of locomotive power , and he should have reported it to Mr . Burkinbhaw , the engineer . He ( witness ) had been employed on the Newcastle and CArlialo and upon the London and Birmingham linea ,
and had been recommended by the manager of the lust line to Mr . Burkinshaw , under whom he had been employed the ! ast twelve months . Ho certainly considered the Derby lino the safest ho had ever been on . In the fir . it place , theru were not many cuttings aud embankments ; and in the next place , they had a good set of engines . As respected the watching and guarding , it was conducted like other lints . The present was the first accident which had occurred on . the Derby line . He had bid fourteen years' experience in working stationary engines in North Shields , and two years as a fireman before he was employed on railways , making eixteen years' experience aitoyecher .
By the Coroner—At the time the accident occurred tho traiu was going at the rate of from twenty-eight to thirty niilos in the hour . Tho greatest Bpeed at which he had ever goue might be from forty-two to forty-four miles in the hour . He did not think he had 9 vm beaten that . Mr . John Burkinshaw was then called , and deposed that he was resident engineer and manager of the Birmingham a * d Derby Railway , and stated that the men weru o « ly required to work on the line during daylight , except in cases of real necessity , when proper signals would ba placed at equal distances along the line , one at each oido where the party was at work . The truck which caused the accident had no right to be on the line , nor was there any necessity for it The hours of the men were from six iu the morning until six at night in summer , and during daylight in wiuter , but they were often required to work during the night when
there was any appearancu of danger , arising from a slip or other cause , on the Hue . The mtn were employed by a contractor , and v » vre under his controul . Ho bolievfl tliu number employed on the linefor the purposes , of protection wrr « in pn-portion to those employed ou the I , < . ndon ami Birmingham line . He only knew- from report the purpose for which the truck was plac « d upon the line on the tight in question , but he could say that there was nothing in the state of ths line , which was in perfect order , to require it to be thore at the time . The witness , after answering some questions put by Lord Aylesford , produced a printed list of regulations to be observed by the Company's servants on the lino , and which , in conclusion , stated that the placing the truck upon the line was a clear breach of those instructions . No person had a right to use a truck on the line except f » r the Company ' s work , and it ought not for any purpose to have been ou the line at the time tho
accident occurred . Mr . Stevenson , the contractor , was examined at great length , with a view to corroborate the statements made by -Mr . Burkiushaw , and exonerate the company from all blame . It appeared that on Wednesday morning Mr . Stevenson directed Mr . Marson , who was ia bis employ , to send a letter for him to Tarn worth , and that for the purpose of doing the journey quickly , Mr . . Marson , without any order from Mr . Stevenson , sent two men in a truck with the letter in question . Lord Ayltsfoid—I wish to ask . Mr . Stevenson whether he knew there was to be a truck taken up last Wednesday night from here to Tamworth ? Witness—1 did , my Lord . Loul Aylesford—Who went with it ?
\\ itness—Mr . Marson , my Lord , will explain that belter than I can . I wished to have a message sent to my clerk at Tamworth on Wodnesilay morning , and entrusted it to Mr . Marson to have it . forwarded ' with a'l despatch in the hope of catci . ing the train , anO . ' a note was forwarded by ono of the trucks . I did not know the man who took it , but Mr . Marson does . In answer to questions from Mr . Carter , witness sri'i that if tracts were used for : u ! V purposes than tho work of the company it would be ; i breach of tha regulations , and that the note he sent was not connected with the work of the company . Coroner—Did you direct how the note should be sent ' Witness—I did not . I was not aware that it would be sent in this way . The note was s «> t at twelve fit noon , and I understood they did the distance in about half an hour .
A great deal of evidence vr : is then given , from which it appeared that Mr . Marson ordered the twa men named Barber aud King , to take the truck to Tsunworth , and that he accompanied t ' mut six miles on the road , when , after giving them tho latter to carry orward , he left them nirections to be very careful as to the trains . They remained at Tamworth a considerable time , and , on their return they were warned by a policeman at Kingsburv , ai two and a half miles from where the accident occurred , as to the probable arrival of the trains , when they replied to the effect that all was right , and were fully prepared to remove the truck upon th « approach of danger . It bo happened , however , according to their own statement , that when in the act of attempting to remove the truck , the train came in upon them , and the accident occurred , by which Black lost , his life . The inquest adjourned at half past seven o'clock .
On Saturday morning , tho Jury met at eleven , » nd the Coroner proceeded to hear the evidence . He observed that after hearing a great quantity of evidence . no blame appe » red to attach t « the company , but rested entirely upon the contractors' . 'department ' and the two men in charge of the truck . As it regarded Mr . Marson , the evidence he thought was not sufficiently strong to justify a verdict of manslaughter , but he had little doubt ii acquitted by them , the case , ad U affected him , would be met in another way . The Jury then , after some consideration , returned a verdict of manslaughter against Barber and Kin ^ , the two men with the truck , and the Coroner committed them to take their trial for that otlonce at the next ass ; zes for the county of Warwick . !
Mr . Garter , addressing Lord Ayk-sford , then eaid , that he was instructed on the part of the railway directors to staie tbat they were determined to prosecute Mr . Marson under Lord Seymour ' s Act for negligently placing an obstruction on the trams of tho raiiwtty . Lord Ayleaford said , that , es a county magistrate , be was prepared to hear Uu > charge .

Third Jiphabet—Ccontinued . ) Jaundiced minds are ever prone to search , discover , and malign the motives of others ; measuring the principles of others by their own standardself ; they are invariably found to attack every measure for the general good , solely beeause they conceive these measures will confer no particular no persohal benefit on themselves ; and determined ' to prostrate the noblest aims , where they reap no exclusive benefit , they commence their inquisitorial system of annihilation ! Finding the measure pure and
perfect , they then attack it in detail , or profess not to comprehend its present practicability and ultimate tendency ; at length , defeated m their intention of blasting a principle , they attack its advocates ; in their moral , intellectual ; private and public characters , and where they find one loophole , they tear the whole to sbreds ! Thus , by their mode of attack alone , a powerful and lasting good is annihilated ; the noblest human structure is perhaps for ever destroyed , which they never had power to conceive , nor ever possessed capability to rear Alas ! for our country , for humanity , how prolific and now numberless are thesehypocritical "growths " in our land , what a loathsome host of disciples there in this school
are ! King-craft and priest-cro / V are bcth children of the same parents ; they are the combined eflicts of imbecility and wickedness . The moment a community becomes weak enough to adopt favouritism as a characteristic principle , then follows the exaltation of the favourite , who is afterwards distinguished amongst his equals and superiors by the title of u v *• ... f Yery sh ? rt time he may advise his subjects with sincerity , aud represent their !« « » £ onest ] y ; but s ° on he tastes the sweets of omee —becomes corrupt , and knowing that hi * power can only be sustained by the will of the people ( at this stage of his ruling exigence ) , he distributes his emissaries amongst his subjectssows disseutions where the people attempt to inquire his character , his procedure , —circulates pecuniary bribes amongst the dishonest ,-procures a number of worthless wretches , whom he designates "nobles " and rds
' gua , " —gathers his creatures , men of the most despicable character , to assist him in distributing what he terms "justice , " — lives a life of debauchery , teeming with uo trait of humanity , save tyranny and wickedness , —assumes the man in nothing but Ins viccs . -dies a " saint !"—bauds down his character ! his virtues ! and his " crown , " to his heirs ; to be by them duly appreciated , so long as the ignorance of his " subjects" prevail , or their mental bhuduess will permit . The same community , by the example of their "king" and his "court , " launchiuu out into all the irregularities that unrestrained appetites are capable of , grasp with avidity the promises held out by a number of morally regardless vagabonds , who hold out the prospect of plenty to the starving , and peace to tho wicked ; and contrive , by dini of a little monkish legerdemain , to impose their false doctrine ^ on the weak , and thoir impure designs on the wicked , —holding out reward to the one and pardon to the other , they thus lull their
poor aupes into security , and find them ever ready and willing instruments in the promotion of their own ba . * e . immoral , and unchristian designs .

Madam , —In presenting to you , as the chief magistrate of this kingdom , the serieB of letters of which this is the first , I beg most respectfully to state , that I am actuated by no motive of personal ambition , and by no wish to promote party or class interests , as contradistinguished from the general Interests of the whole people . I am moved , I trust , solely by an
earnest desire to premete the general happiness and prosperity of my country , and , as far as any influence I may possess extends , of mankind at large . I am sensible that the subject I am about to discuss is one which is closely and intimately connected with the welfar * and prosperity of all classes of your Majesty ' s subjects ; and one , therefore , which has high claims upon the attention of her who has been , in the order of Divine Providence , called to the exercise of a marked and extensive influence over the destinies of millions .
In those letters it will be my task to bring before the notice of your Majesty facts of an appalling character , as to the state of demoralisation and crime in which large masses of the people of this country are unhappily involved . I shall have to show that that state of demoralisation and crime is , t « a frightful extent , attributable to the laws and institutions of the land ; and I shall have to demonstrate that vast changes in these laws and institutions must be effected ere you can reasonably hope to sway your sceptre over a happy , prosperous , sofeer , and religious people . But though this may be a picture of an nncourtly character , it is on » on
which it is niest necessary that you accustom yourself to look with a steady and discriminating gaze ; and although born in a circle of society , and surrounded , by circumstances and influences the most unfavourable for taking a just and enlightened view of the important matters to which I am about to invite your attention , yet believing that you have been endowed by the Divine author of life , with an understanding to comprehend the lessons of truth , and a heart to feel for your people when their true condition is fairly placed before yon , I will hope that you will not refuse to listen to a
" plain unvarnished tale , " told , it may be , with great simplicity , but , let me assure your Majesty , with the utmost sincerity , and with devoted attachment to what is really good and ex « ellent in the constitution of my country . In the remarks wbkh I am anxious to bring under your royal notice , I trust no word will escape my pen which can be justly deemed offensive . I shall , I hope , ever bear in mind the respect due to your station , and especially to your sex . I appeal to your Majesty as the Executive power of the State , and every line of that appeal shall breathe the true loyalty of a Briton , and the genuine courtsey of a man .
At a tirau like the present , when adverse interests are at work , and when an age of transition from one state of society to another has evidently commenced , it becomes matter of serious and important inquiry whether the changes which must inevitably take place , shall tend to the establishment of human happiness , or the perpetuation , perhaps for ages , of habits and modes of thinking , and of acting , which must be productive of a largo amount of misery and crime .
One thing in the conflicting mass of opinions which are deluging the world seems to be conceded by all ; that is , that the present institutions of society are now incapable of answering the end for which they were originally designed , and that a remoditication or reorganisation of the social fabric must be obtained . This I say is admitted by all ; but beyond this we serin to have no common ground . The sentiments put fonh by different writers , and the remedies they prescribe for the disorders of the body , social and politic , are as wide asunJer as the poles , and as divers as th © points of \ he cempass . One man would go to past ages , to
ruke up tho rubbish of times gone by , iu order to mend , patch up , and give stability to that which Ihe wear aud tear of time has rendered utterly unfit for further service , while his neighbour , in this pretended work of renovation , would reject every thing that is ancient ; nothing but new stones from the quarry , and green timber from the wood , will do for him . It does not require much wisdom to discover that with such workmen , and such materials , no practical good can be effected . The one will attempt to repair , and
sustain rubbuh , Witu its like , till the whole mass comes tumbling about his ears , and burios him in its ruins , while the other , with his unhewn stones and unseasoned timber , tries in vain to rear an edifice which will stand firm in tho midst of the blast and the tempest , offering a secure depository for tha most invaluable rights and liberties , which he so highly prizes , and which he tells us he is desirous of transmitting , with all their unnumbered blessiags , to his children , and his children ' s children .
Amid all the balderdash and confusion , the sound am ; noi . * . -, and hu !> bub which pervades tho land , it is not surprising that things of the utmost moment are overlooked , and that sometimes incalculable mischief is done to public interests , public morality , or public liberty , by unprincipled parties in high places , while taking advantage of the state of conflict and confusion into whiek , it may be , their © wn machinations have contrived to throw the public mind . As an instance or two of this , I may mention the way in which the Russian autocrat was permitted to exterminate the rights of Poia-. id , while the people of England wore busily engaged in aiding the middlo classo * to get that
franchise which has enabled them to trample , almost uncontrolled , upon tho rights of labour , and to ptrpetuato acts from which the Tories would have shrunk with shame , and tho virtuous portion of them with horror aud abhorrence . I may also mention the passing of the Poor Law Amendment Act , ( on tho nature and effects of which your Majesty's faithful people will enlighten your royal mind one of these days , ) while the people of England were engaged in the consideration of some subject , or in the agitation of some' question of no more practical utility to them than the discussion of the problem how to square the circle . A thousand such instances mi ^ ht ba a < i
To o'nvi . ite , as much as possible , the obstacles thus continually thrown iu the way of practical improvement , or unavoidably arising from the weakness and imperfection of human nature , is clearly the duty of ovrry good and honest citizen ; and this , in iny opinion , can be best accomplished by bringing , in a calm , dispassionate , and deliberate manner , the various anomalies which exist in , and the numerous evils which affect society , uudor the notice and consideration of the . Sovereign ami the people . This , in a country where the press is , to a considerable extent , unshackled , c * n
be dono most effectually through that medium ; a-ud hence I conceive that no apology will be necessary for the honest patriotism which addresses these letters to your Majesty ,. in which I propose to discuss a subject which , wililo it stands intimately connected with your important state duties , as Queen of this great empire , cannot fail to interest your f . jtlingsaud sympathies , both as a woman aud a mutUer . Suffer me then to introduce to your most seriuus attention the important , perhaps , politically and strictly speaking , I shall not err if I say tho all-important , subject of prison discipline and criminal jurisprudence .
This subject , which involves in its consequences and results of a magnitude and importance , second to no other , is one of those which have been to a very considerabla extent overlooked , neglected , or misunderstood , and yet to a reflecting mind , a mind which is in the habit of looking beyond the mere surface of things , whick is accustomed to tiace effects to causes , arid to contemplate remote consequences in connection with immediate results , it is a subject fraught with the most Stirling interest , and demanding at once the most searching inquiry , united with sound judgment , penetrating intelligence , and calm doliboratiox .
The important Investigation up * n which we are about fc > ante ? , has reference to some inquiries which , at first igut , may not appear to belong to it . The prosecution of crime , and the punishment of the offender , are matters connected , with man as he exists in society , and as he exists in soeiety only . If each individual wai iaoiateU and independent , society could not exist , and ooruNqueatly crime u ^ ainst socie ty would be impossible , and ite punishment a nonentity . It follows , then , that in eornidtring tho state of crime , and of its prevention md poniahmejrt , we must consider man w

congregated in society 5 and the end for which society was established , become * , of course , one of the first questions of inquiry . We must ever bear in mind , as a point of immense moment , the fact that the aggregation of men in society fa widely different from the aggregation of parts in a complicated machine . To make thelatter perform ita designed purpose in obedience to the impelling power , nothing more is necessary than » o keep the whole in a state of proper adjustment , and to remove any dirt or other impediment which might derange . ' its structure and prevent the due performance of their respectiTe
functions by its several parts . But ia the social machine thmga _ attain a very different Btate Like every other machine , it ia a whole made up o individual parts ,- hut , unlike any other , its parts am active while theirs are entirely passive . That is to say , every part of scci « ty , every individual comprising the social family , has a will of his own ; he has personal designs to subserve , and personal wishes to gratify The fact is , men in society are constantly actuated by two opposite and opposing tendencies : the one leading them to seek and to secure those advantages which soeiety affords ; and , as a means , to submit to the re
straintfl which they must yield to in order to gain their end ; and the other urging them to seek that apparently natural , but , in truth , spurious independence , which . results from unbridled and universal license ; and it is just in proportion as the one or the other of their tendencies prevail , that a man is a good or a bad member of society . Hence it is plain that the character of the individuals' composing it make , in reality , the character of the social state as a whole . If the people be individually moral , sober , just , virtuous , kind , and religious , sueh will the nation be . If , on the contrary , the people individually bo immoral , intemperate , unjust
in then dealings with each other , vicious , cruel , and irreligious , this will be the character of tho nation generally j and in proportion as either class prevail will be the happiness or misery which will be enjoyed by , or pervade the community . On these tendencies of the mass of mankind the political institutions of a country have a marked and decided influence , and amongst all these institutions none ia more powerful in its outbearings upon the stato of crime than the penal enactments which may be in force at any given period . If these enactments are distinguished by harshness and undue seventy ; if they treat the criminal not
as a moral agent , capable of reformation and amendment , the medium of corrective measures applicable to his moral sense , but reduce him below the level of a brute , sending him to herd with the most abandoned of his species , and dismissing him from his prison house , only the more qualified and fitted for a career of reckless iniquity , equally unaffected by the lessons of human punishment as by the prospects of a further judgment , or , if , on tho other hand , the criminal is acted upon only by correction , shut out from all the
charities of life , and subjected to indignities , and to privations which no feeling mind could bring itself to contemplate without horror , or to inflict even upon tho most degraded and sunken grades of humanity ; if 6 uch , I say , be the conduct prescribed and followed out by the criminal jurisprudence of the country , then w » m * y rest assured , that without the alteration of such a sysUm , no really beneficial change in the state of the criminal population can be effected , or indeed can be rationally expected .
From what I have said , I hope that it will appear evidentthat we must , if we intend to come to right conclusions from admitted premises , preface our investigation into the state of ' crime , its causes , and the most efficient remedy , by a short examination into the physical ami moral structure of man in his individual character , and then , e proceed to consider him in hva social relations with his fellow-niun . We shall by this means be able' to ascertain , with tolerable accuracy , the bearing which the one has upon the other , and shall thus have laid a firm and solid basis on which
to rear a superstructure which shall tend to the prevention of crime to a considerable extent , destroying or removing its cause , and afford solid ground of hope that many who are now the pest and the curse of our beloved country may be restored to the paths of duty and virtue , and thus'become a blessing and an ornament to the land of their birth . To obtain this great and desirable object , no paltry feelings , or party intrigues , or jealousies , should be permitted for one moment to oppose an obstacle' nor should cupidity or avarice be allowed to put in the wedge of selfisbress to stop the progress of improvement It has been well observed in the report of the inspectors of prisons , that in every reclaimed criminal , not only is the ranks of the criminal population reduoed by one , but the state has also gained a good and worthy subject
N ot doubting but that this high and momentous subject must excite in the bosom of your Majesty those feelings of sympathy and interest which its vast importance is so well calculated to inspire , I will venture to hope that you . will give the whole weight of your influence to those well-digested and judicious plans which may be framed for the improvement of this most important branch of our national jurisprudence . I have the honour to be , Madam , Your Majesty's truly faithful subject , NTTMA , London , Dsc . 7 th , 1840 .
