I'ctutentiarij of Ce^, . ’ate report of
toe Board of In pectors cf this Institution, organ
ized under .the late act of the Legislature, we
Bunk calculated to confirm the worst prejudices
already entertain*! against the system now in
operation in Georgia. Throwing entirety out of
view, the heavy expense which this institution
h-s continues to be, on our treasury, vet
there are radical defects in the system, which we
despair of ever seeing cured, by the wisdom and
energy of Legislates :n this State. The Inspec
tors report, tliat they “are satisfied, that under
the present , system nothing like efficacious moral
discipline can lie. introduced among the cay/cicts.”
Tlie hope, therefore, of reforming the criminal,
of eradicating vicious eropensities, must be en
tirely at an end. Experience lias fully proved
that these propensities are strengthened and con
firmed in the Penitentiary, and that the convict
is upturned to the a more hardened and
desperate villian, than on his first leaving it.
What then are the reasons which urge a per
severance in our present system? Why it is said
that f we abolish it, we resort to corpora*
punishment; &. that these punishments deprave
the mind, destroy all hope of amendment in the
criminal, and send him fortli a mark of scorn and
contempt. But arc those who reason thus
aware, that eorporcal punishments qrf uart of our
penitentiary system? That to whippings and
markings, the evils of the common law punish*
rnenl, are superadded all the aggravating cirCi\pi
stances of public confinement. In many cases it
happens tliat an individual is sent to the peniten
tiary befoic tlie principle o. virtue is entirety ex
tinct; with mqny of tlie feelings of humanity
strong within him; 1m is doomed te iaard lc*h or
*\ • JJ* f * *
for a series of years; lie is placed under the su
perintendance of a subaltern, a potty tyrant, who
compels him to perform his task with the most
rigid severity; the unhappy criminal finds himself
reduced to the degraded state of a slave ; every
burst of natural feeling or of natural passion, is
looked upon by his tyrant as a symptom of muti
ny or revolt, and he is doomed to the lash , to hum
ble his pride, and break down his spirit; dressed
in the costume of tlie prison, he ;s a spectacle for
th e o-.rzt* of the idle and the curious’ wl*o visit the
institution to gratify their curiosity, and the sub
jectof their hsu r tics.s remarks. I iiis by an hon
-01 able mind may’ a. WhJ® be borne in silent
a a'on y; but it tenth.’ to ddaqen every geneious
sensibility, annihilate every s‘uark at virtuous feel
iiig, and after the term of service, can it be other
wise. than that lie should be returned t.° U ie fl’orld
a degraded and desperate wretch, ready to’ retort
np :n society the taunts and insults he has receiv
ed; reckless of all further infamy, aim entirety
fearless of all further punishment! Such has been
t he previous °f our 9 y st tTP-
In our ‘system too, there is a gotal diujegard of
the different gradations in crime.
headed sinner of seventy, who has passed through
every stage of vice, incorrigible in all, is placed be
side tlie comparatively inexperienced and inno
cent. where he may prove a rqor* in
structor, and under gircuipstanoe which must
n ive to his lessors n most powerful effect.
Under this liquid the Inspectors make the follow
ing remarks :
“The Inspectors remark on the very great dis
parity of punishments to the enormity of th,e of
fences. That there shoulq he a difference in the
punishment of the same crime under different
circumstances is altogether reasonable. But
that offences against the life of a citizen, luid
those against his property, should he placed,"as
regards punishment, on the same ground, and in
many cases even on belter, appears to be subvert
ing the ends of public justice. The distinction
that should ‘ sist between the value of life and
property , we apprehend has not been duty appre
ciated by the Legislature.”
In conclusion, we will only further remark, that
to be at all effectual, our system pmst, in our opi
nion, be entirety remodelled, or rather, rebuilt.—
Wc must not only pay a greater regard to the
classification of crimes, but we must, in a great
measure, adopt separate confinement. This,
however, will require a greater expenditure than
our politicians will it convenient to appro
priate to the purpose.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By the Brig United States, Capt. Knight which
arrved yesteiday forenoon from Plymouth, [JSng.]<
we li.ive received accounts from London to the
April, ami from Plymouth to the 2d May.
Parliament nret again on the 2dth three
Catholic Peers of the Realm. Lords Clifford and
Dormer, and the Duke of Norfolk, took their
seals i$ the House of Lords. It. is one hundred
and forty eight years since Catholics have been
in the House of Lords in their official capacity
and the enjoyment of their hereditary right. They
were congratulated by many of the most'exalted
and distinguished Peers of the House on the occa
sion.
The Budget was expected from the Chancel
lor of the Exchequer in a few days.
Considerable interest was excited by the ex
pectation that certain disclosures were to be
made respecting the Foreign relations of England,
particularly with Russia and Portugal.
Mr. llume has given notice that he should
;y,ove the House of Commons to resolve into a
committee to act upon the Corn laws, and to
consider the pyopriety of substituting a fixed, jn
place of the present fluctuating duty.
The Marquis of Lansdowrfch has given notice
tliat he shqiild bring up the subject of the Mar
quis of Anglesea’s Administration of the Govern
ment of Jrqlqnd.
Lord Beresford, is according to common report
about to proceed to Portugal .as Envoy Extraordi
narjr. The object of tlie mission is said to be to set
tle the difficulties at present existing between Don
Pedro and Don Miguel
The accounts from the Continent are not very
important There is nothing certain from the
scat of war. The St. Petersburg Gazeltee states
that the Turks had sustained a complete defeat
in the neighborhood of Akhabiityk as follows :
Turkish army of 20,000 men was
the'fortress. Neither ,the gallant defence
garrison nor the severe losses which the Turks
suffered, abated the temer?ty of the latter. They
lepeatedly attempted a storm, and two mines
weie on the point of being, sprung preparatory to
a general rxsault, when at day break on the iOtli
a corps sent to tho ! re lief of the place and oblig
ed the enemy to raise the seige; and retire in
the utmost confusion. Major Geuerftl Prince
Bebutovv availed himself of the opportu
nity to make a sortie, and, although his garrison
consisted of only eight companies of Gen. Pas
kevitch’s regiment, one company ‘of Cher
son grenadiers, the whole of them hdvtHg been
incessantly upon the ramparts since 4th instant,
he pursued the enemy for several wersts, cap
turing four kiiecos of artillery, one mortar two
standards, a quantity of stones and a largo num
ber of pri onefip.
London, April, 30.
Tha same universal gloom that has lat-.
terly pervaded every thing attended to in
the city still continues, and the price of pro
duce of every description seems to be dai
ly more and more depreciated ; this state of
ass urs appears to have caused some alarm a
mon£ the merchants and pet sons of capital,
and fs becoming still more serious to the
general welfare, by the accounts feceived of
the state of trade in the country ; from this
cause may be traced tho declination, on
tho part of spcculuioia in the Funds lo en

gREADFUL ACCIDENT.
The Steam Ship Fulton, which whs an
chored at the Navy Yard, Brooklin 1 , blew
up yesterday afternoon about 2 o’clock, and
all on board, consisting of one hundred to
one hundred and fifty persens, were either
killed or wounded. Jt appears that the
gunner went into the magazine for powder,
and it'is snpposed the fire was communica
ted accidentally, but of. course by what
means or how will never’bef known. From
a person who was fishing at a short distance
from the ship, we learn that she bursted o
pen at one shock, and her masts and every
thing were blown 10 pieces. Com. Chauu
cey with Capt. Newton and a number of
other officers had been on a visit to the
ship, and left her not ten minutes before
the explosion took place. The Natchez
was anchored near the Fulton, but was
not injured Lieut. Breckinbiidge and
his wife are wounded bui not dangerously.
The number of killed is T?°t ascertained,
but one report states that thirty five and
another twenty-two dead bodies had been
brought on shore last night. About twenty
men li;d been brought shore so badly
wounded as to make their recovery doubt
ful, and about fifty more are said to be miss •
ing, many of whom are undoubtedly drown
ed. “ J
This Js one of ths rpost dreadfgl acci
dents-that ever oiigifiated in this bountry,
and the distress occasioned by it among all
classes of the community was last night
very great. The anxiety of those who had
friends or relatives attached to the navy
yard, was so intense, and the reports so
different, that it was almost impossible to
get at the exact truth when our paper went
to presl.’ The above it is believed, may
be relied upon as correct so far as it go g
If this accident had happened the day be
i fi re, it is probable many more would have
been killed, for we understand that two or
three hundred sailors were on Wednesday
’sent to the south, who had been on board
j for some time.
| Further Particulars. —We have con
‘ versed with a gentlemen just from Brook
j |in, who states that twenty six persons are
) actually dead, arid twenty eight toounded.
* Lieut. Breckenbridge died in the course of
the evening, but his wife is likely to re
cover. The scene at the Navy Yard is
too horrid for description, and every one
; who returns from there Js sick and pale at
■ t} ie sight. It is also said tffat a son of Mr
JJckford of this city, has lost iiis leg, Lieut.
- Platt is badly injured.
New-YcjiK, June 6.
It was ascertained ydstefiiay, that only
five persons, in addition to those mention
‘ ed yesterday, were on board the steam fri
gate, at the time of the expjosion. Some
ipf these five, it is feared, have perished,
‘and ate bnried in the ruins of the ship.
The remains of twenty-three of the kil
led, were interred in one grave yesterday,
afternoon. The funeral ol Lieut, Brack
’ midge took place at 5 o’clock, a) the Na*
vy Yard, with ihe usual honor*
VY r e hear that two or three of the wound
ed snarines or seameu died yesterday in the
jJNavy Hospital.
Mrs. Brackenridgp, It. Platt, and sail*

Upon which thousands of people trustee
themselves yesteiday, are liable to fall up
on the slightest nvotiop or swell of the Wa

A Rogue Caught. —Yesterday a man
calling himself James Thompson was ap
prehended in Cana! street in the act of
circulating broken bank bills, and carried
immediately to the Police for examination.
A considerable qnantity of the checks of
the late Clinton Manufacturing Company
bills* 6f the departed Derby Bank—and of
the Hoboken bank, c * was found in his
poscssion. 110 was endeavouring to pass
these rags off as good money for goods.—
On his examination he admitted that he
had purchased part of them in
Wall street, at 6 cents on the dollar, by
w’ay of making a speculation in these bard
times. Thompson was born in Peru, of
this state—has been a farmer for some
time-followed also ton sloop on
the North River—came from Philadelph-i
last January—has had no particular business
since that time—and entirely forgot where
he has been boarding ever since . Several
other questions were put to him, but He
declined replying. He* was fully commit
ted. ‘ “ )
We regret to have to state that the Pat
terson Bank suspended payments of its
hills yesterday. 44
Quarantine. —The Quarantine Regulation*
went into operation at Philadelphia, on the Ht
inst. and are to continue until the Ist of October.
From the Correspondent, of the Charleston
Courier:— - ...
Washington, June 1, 1829.
Sir —You will see by the Washington
papers of this morning, that Mr. Joseph
Nourse, has been removed from the situa
tion c/f Register of the Treasury. He has
been a public officer fitly years, and has
acquitted himself to the satisfaction of cv
ery Administration. Seven Clerks were
removed in Mr. Kendall’s office ; off Satur
day. Among these is Mr. Bert; who was
formerly a resident of Cincinnati —and I
believe, filled the situation of Mayor of
that city, when General Lafayette visited
the West Compelled by circumstances,
reflecting no moral stain upon his charac
ter, to leaye Cincinnati, he accepted an ipr
vitatiou from Judge M 4 Lean, the late Post
Master General, to come to Washington,
and received an office in the General Post
office. Subsequently, he succeeded in ef
fecting ,an exchange, which brought hihi
into the office of the 4tb Auditor, where
fiis salary was a little more adequate to the
wants of his family, lie nevei interfered
in politics, but was universally esteemed
for his amiable qualities and tranquil course
of life ; and it wa3 : texpected that the inter
est felt and exhibited for iiis prosperity by
M‘L*an, would have prevented the
proscripitve system from reaching him. —
The hope was vain. He is doomed to
swell the list es victims of a policy, such as
neve/ has been wHueSted our country —
and which is daily * carrying misery and
insolvency iuto the most respectable per
tion? of our population.’
This day it is understood, that there will
he many removals in the Treasury Depart-,
rnent. Y*iu will, of course, see them an
nounced in ihe papers of t.-moriow. \ .
rumoured limt the other threat Auditors*
Mr- Harrison, Mr, Hagner and Mr. Pfeai *
atiton, will be dismissed. A rumour xta?
in Circulation on Saturday, that Mr. W ater
sien, the Librarian to Congress, had been
dismissed, and tba< he was succeeded by *
Mr. Meehan, who ;or n long tinie beeij
employed a,s printer, or overseer, of tlio
Telegraph. The rumour, J believe,
yet pi.emaiure be very short’
ly, ground for such a report. But some
difficulty must attend this change “dpring,
the recess of Congress The Jaw provides
that the Librarian shall give bonds to N
‘approved by the Vice President****
St eaker of the House of RepreseutativesA
As there is no speaker pow, pji bonds ‘Cun’

You will at once perceive,* that'ihe sccart
ties of the presnt Librarian would,
lore, be bound for ally deficiency or ueglect
of the new officer, as their bonds wpald
continue in farce, and no pew securities
could betaken. ” ... j

great dissatisfaction witji the course of
Duff Green, and it is generally spokep
and believed here, that anew adrninisu***

him down. Y ou remember well, (but du
