From the Report of the Committee of the General Penitentiary at Millbank, just printed, it appears that "the number of prisoners for whom provision has been made in the Penitentiary, rather exceeds the intended number of 1000 (600 males and 400 females) than falls short of it. There were within its walls, on the 31st of December last, 708 convicts. The present number is 723; viz. 399 males and 324 females." -It appears farther, that the total earnings for the year ending 31st Dec. 1821, amounted to 60511. 8s. 6d. of which threefourths, or 45387. 11s. 4d. remained to the establishment; that the expense amounted to 27,2791. 12s. 2d. and, after deducting stores on hand, to 20,6791. 3s. Id. and the net expence, after deducting the prisoners earnings to 16,1401. 18s. 9d. Gold Coinage-It appears, that in the last year the amount of gold coinage at the Mint was 9,520,7587. 13s. 10d. In looking at the reduction of Bank of England notes in the same period, we find that in January, 1821, the Bank-notes in circulation varied from 21,571,7147. to 25,904,3571.; and that in January, 1822, the amount has varied from 16,566,720l. to 20,283,4801. It appears thus, that the addition made to the circulation by the gold coinage has been greater, by four millions, than the diminution by the reduction of the bank-notes, that is, always supposing that the whole of the gold coined has been thrown into circulation. New Recorder.-On the 10th ult. the Lord Mayor held a special Court of Aldermen, at Guildhall, for the purpose of electing a Recorder in the room of the late Sir John Silvester, Bart. which was most fully attended, his Lordship, twenty Aldermen, and the Sheriffs, being present, when Newman Knowlys, Esq. Common Serjeant, was unanimously elected, and, being sent for, he attended and took the usual oath. Execution.-The execution of Edward Cochrane, alias Cline, took place April 3d, at a quarter past eight o'clock, in front of the Debtors' Door in the Old Bailey, for an extensive burglary in the house of Miss Kelly, at Hendon. Three persons were concerned in this robbery, one of whom, W. Osborn, was to have suffered with him, but he received a respite, late on Sunday evening, during his Majesty's pleasure. Improvements in the Temple.-Some very material alterations and improvements are taking place in the Temple. The Fountain Garden, as it is called, is widened to nearly the whole extent of the court, and is to be divided into compartments, each forming a small shrubbery. The whole is inclosed with a handsome cast-iron railing, and the public path will be from New Court, through the heart of the New Garden, to the Knights Templars' Chapel. Improvements.-Pall-mall East will be carried to St. Martin's church by the autumn of the present year. All persons possessing apartments in the King's mews, or in line with the intended improvements, are to remove immediately. Westminster Abbey.-The beautiful and impressive appearance of the Abbey, in consequence of the aisles and the several monuments and tombs having been wholly cleaned, is remarkable; they all display as much freshness as if they were only just raised. The whole of the renovations and repairs reflect the greatest credit on those under whose superintendence they have been conducted. To secure the monuments from injury, by being approached too closely by the spectators, and also to secure an equal sight to all persons, neat railings are placed in different directions, so as to prevent the public from crowding too closely around any particular monument. Within the Poets' Corner entrance is placed a board, on which is painted the sums that visitors will have to pay (amounting in all to two shillings), who desire to inspect the curiosities on week days; and it informs the public that no extra remuneration is to be given; and any report of misbehaviour, or violation of these regulations by the servants of the Cathedral, will be received and attended to by the Dean or Senior Prebendary. This regulation, of course, abolishes the custom of making offerings at the shrine of General Monk, on the exhibition of which, after all demands had been paid, the public used to be exposed to new demands for the benefit of the attendants. Anniversary Dinner of the Theatrical Fund at the Freemasons Tavern.-There are few public charities more interesting to a liberal mind than the association which has subsisted some years for the benefit of superannuated or indigent theatrical performers. At the anniversary dinner for the Drury Lane Fund, the Duke of York presided. Mr. Kean, as treasurer, delivered a speech which contained an appropriate tribute to royal beneficence. At the conclusion of his speech, the collection for the fund commenced, which soon amounted to thirteen hundred pounds. The King and the Duke of York were, as usual, distinguished by the munificence of their donation; and never, perhaps, were sentiments of patriotism and loyalty more completely identified than at this Anni versary. Telegraphs. An immediate survey is to take place for the most eligible situation to erect telegraphs between London and Plymouth. A communication from the Admiralty to Portsmouth takes place directly, and each station is under the superintendance of a naval office. Crime. It appears by an official account that the number of persons (males and females) committed for crimes and of fences in England and Wales, was in 1815, 7,818-in 1816, 9,091-in 1817, 13,932in 1818, 13,567-in 1819, 14,254-in 1820, 13,710-in 1821, 13,115-total in the seven years, 85,487 persons-of which number 7,683 were sentenced to death; (693 of whom were executed)-48,637 were transported, imprisoned, whipped, fined, pilloried, or kept to hard labour, &c. Total convicted 56,310-16,479 were acquitted-12,691 against whom no bills were found or prosecutors appeared. The decrease in crime in Norfolk was 26-increase in Suffolk 14. African Institution.-The 16th anniversary meeting of this Institution is to be held on the 10th of the present month. The information received by it of the horrid crimes perpetrated in Africa, and on the high seas, by miscreants who make it their business to buy and sell their fellowcreatures, and of the alarming increase of this abominable traffic under the flags of France, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands-is of such a nature, as to render it the duty of the Institution to give the utmost publicity to the facts which are constantly coming to their knowledge, and to call the attention of the British nation, in a very particular manner, to the enormities now practised upon the persons of the helpless children of Africa; enormities never exceeded in the annals of oppression and cruelty. At the present moment vast numbers of innocent men, women, and children, are languishing in the hands of their tormentors; many are suffering a most cruel and lingering death, by suffocation in the holds of slave-ships; thousands are on their way to interminable slavery, to which they will infallibly be consigned, unless previously released by death, or rescued by the intervention of some merciful hand, from those dealers in human blood, whom the American Government has declared to be pirates, and who, instead of being protected and sheltered, ought to be branded by every civilized State as enemies to the human race. chaplain to Lord Nugent, to hold the rectory of Yatton Keynell, together with the rectory of Castle Comb, both in Wilts.-The Rev.

On the 27th of March, in the 47th year of his age, Sir Alexander Boswell, Bart. of Auchinleck. His death was in consequence of a wound received in a duel with J. Stuart, Esq. of Duncarn, which took place on the 26th at Auchtertool in Fifeshire. Sir Alexander was seconded by the Hon. J. Douglass, and Mr. Stuart by the Earl of Rosslyn. The parties fired by signal, when Sir Alexander was mortally wounded in the right shoulder. Sir Alexander was carried to Balmuto House, the seat of the Hon. Lord Balmuto, at no great distance from which the duel took place, where he died. The ball by which the wound was inflicted entered the right shoulder, broke the clavicle of it, and injured the spine. Every medical assistance was immediately rendered by Dr. Wood and Mr. Liston, and afterwards by Dr. Thomson. It appears, that one of the partners, who had conducted the newspaper published in Glasgow, called The Sentinel, having been imprisoned for debt, on being liberated, immediately went and got possession of various private papers belonging to the copartnership, and delivered them to Mr. Stuart, or his agent. One of these, severely handling the private character of Mr. Stuart, was in the hand-writing of Sir Alexander, who was on his return from attending the funeral of his brother in London, when he received a communication from the Earl of Rosslyn, on the part of Mr. Stuart, which led to the fatal event. A profound and sincere regret for Sir Alexander Boswell is wide and general. Those who knew him best mourn for him most; and all the opulent and distin |
