Among the subjects which have occupied the attention of the friends to the ininrovepient of prison discipline, there is one winch bas occti- stoned much difference of tee allotte, in the compulsory labput ol untried ptisouers. It has iiiiheiliz) beeif conceivtd that to the unconvicted a prison ougln <v1it>pl/ m be a plate of detention, divested of every privation or hardship not absolutely uet^essatj' for gafg custody aud goad oi*<ier.

The value and efficacy of all punishtnento deptnn, in a greftt measure, on the sense enter^a fl^ot them by the community. The hard labour of the tread.wheel has received its sanction and the application of the punishoaent to certain clashes of the Convict- ed will doubtless ssrte to quicken a disposition to prosecute the violator of the law ( but, fully;, appreciating the value of this ptiuishment, the public will never, from a sense of its injustice, be reconcited to its application to the untried aud were such a practice general, it would be soon found to excjte disgust,.lessen the desire to prosecute, and tbusteod to oefeat the endøqf justice, and the intentions of law. The advo. cates for the labour of the untried contend that iuipriioameut alone carriM with it no terror I and that, without the addition of hard labour, it will be regarded with indifferrnce by the poor at large. The Committee fully estimate the im- portance of this objection but while they main- tain that to titer untried the law never intended that imprisonment should be an object of terror -while they contend, that it is not justifiable to inflict pain on the prisoner solely that it may operate to deter, ortiers-they would ask if there be nothing in the circumstances of his situation to counteract the advantages which it is alleged he enjoys ? To a person charged with crime but who eventually proves innocent. is the loss of personal liberty no evil ? Is the temporary aban. donment of his ordinary means Of subsistence no misfortune ? Is separation from his connexions no privation ? Will. th., most honourable tcqutt- tal remove the stain which his reputation has re- ceived 1 and can any considerations compensate for the sufferings which imprisonment has occa- sioned to his family, character, ahd feelings I The Committee would be the first to admit the importance, and warmly to recommend the labour and employment of all prisoners, whether tried or untried. The wre-lchedness and vice thai have disgraced our prisons, have resulted, per- haps, more from idleness than from any ottof source. With the convicted (there are excep- :I)oIlS), llib-our ought to he compulsory and, al- though the untried are not; in the opinion of the ^"remittee, liable to ,he obliged to worfc, still they may, without difficulty, be Induced ito labour at employments not severe" by the allowance of a siight increase of diet, or a share in their earn- ings. But the tread wheel "an he regarded fti o<* other light than as a punishment and, tuertfore to inflict it on the untried, appears to the Com- mittee to be a violation of josticp, good feeling, and sound policy."

i THE M U R D E R OF M IIS. D ON A T IVY. A N elderly ■ woman, of decent appearance, ap. peared before a Magistrate, a few chtÎ ago, io- troduced by a gentleitiah who stated that she had a communicaitoB of a most important nafure to make, and that the had complaiued of the im- possibility of repose while the ciffutTistancigs she had to detari ramaiwed in her breast without be- ing imparted to one who coul d sanction ao in. vestigation. She was imlDedhlèly conducted to a, private room, where she -underwent a long examination t in the pretence of the tnagistrit* and his clerk. The following is the substance of her communi- cation:— Tbe body of a gentleman, whose nar^e the be. liefed to be Tatlor, was found several months ago in the New River, There were many bruitei about the head and chest, and it was palpable that force, and moft desperate force too, had been used the, deceased into the water. There were, bfesiilVs, the-'niarks struggling feet upofi the bank- otalr: to ttie spot in which the body was r "ound, and the death of the unfor- tunate gentleman WaV attributed to some high- wtymen, who were about thnt period mOlt arlitt and sanguinary in their pnrnitof plunder. That the murder watcommr.ted by men of practice" the informant entertained no doubt. Four men, three of whom were known to her, werS, the hid the strongest grounds for supposing, coiicern,(i in the murderr Mr. Taj lor. One of them .8-, at the time, a gentleman's servant, and perhaps ia at this time in a similar situation. The description gitten of him by the informant was, that he had a respectable ettefi,r, and that he it in the habit Of exercising tbe greatest cau- tion in his other occupation of robber, so that he can obtain such intelligence on the subject of the more lucrative branch of his employment, calculated to enable him to plunder with a de. gree of security unknown to the majority of batlc- titied and abandoned depredators. To this person the others looked for the cue, but he had acted B9 principal-bo one occasion which, although it terminated Jatally to his com! panion, did not deter him fromrJolVin iti ™ of much greater mag,()iiude. upon the servant in another famity to join him in rolJi. bint: the house of the master df the latter in the City, the informant beliered. ia Threadneadle- street.

The other man departed soon after, for fn aid of their plan it was determined that they should be able to prove that they both left the house that night at a certain how. When the girls hartreliFed 10 bed and were asleep, The hall door was' opened, and the two thieves carried off all the property that was portable. The police we 'te vilgitalka and ssccessful part of the stolen goods we ret raced to the servant of the owner, and the Taw was: put into exeClltiOIl at the Okl U/jily tiptin i|ie delinquent, whose companion escaped unhurt, and eyCD unsuspected To a man on whom such an example had no ef. feet i: a scene of -murder could not be very op. palling. He not only engaged in the robbery and murder alluded to at the commencement of this account, bill was,one of four who had com- intor,ler e mitted a murder which excited much greater horror, and will long continue fresh in the recoN lefctioo of out readers—Mie mqrder of Mrs, Do- na"y, in Robert-street, fheobald's-road. He was Upon that dreadful occasion covered with the blood qf the. unfortunate deceased, and was re- presented to the informant .as having stood di rectly in front of Mra, Donatty, when she re- ceived-the first blow, which w^s followed by the cut of the razor from his hand. The gang, although a verji short time in the house, succeeded in getting into their possession a great deal of money, with which they narrowly egciipe(I-so oairQ.wly, ,,that the informant de- claresr that tbey: heard the conversation of the persons who were alarmed, and in pursuit, of them» The .spot in which they concealed themselves iimnediatefy after they escaped over the vralj in the yard1, was pointedso*; Ill, the informant, and it appears tt> be so small that they must have lain one over the other iif order to escape the observation of those wjio passed by. The Ma- gistrate was occupied for a length of time in questioning the informant, whose account of all those transactions appeared to be sufficiently connected and probable to justifv the adoption of measures upon such a ground.
