Huliug, lor Speaker of the House of Representatives. On the same day. Governor Carroll transmitted Ins message lo both branches of the legislature. The follow ing extract from that message, relates lo the Penitentiary lately erected.-Georgia Journal. “ For many years I huve advocated the Penitentiary system from a full conviction that it afforded the best means not only of gradua ting punishment according to tlm mn r nitiide of crime, hut also of reforming the guilty. Tltecircimistuncos which dnvclope themselves nn the trial of an individual charged with a criminal offence, nflbrd an opportunity of judg ing of his depravity, and the time of his im prisonment can be determined by the jury ac cordingly. Not so under tho old law. The guilty, whether a young and pliuut offender, or un old and hardened transgressor, was aiiku subject to the punishment ot tho whip ping post nud the branding iron. >Vill such cruelly piuduee reformation? Is it not much more reasonable to expect that the uiifiirto- natc victim of the law, feeling his degraded condition, will go forth armed with a spirit of revenge, determined to commit new outrages upon that community by whose laws he has been rendered infamous ? If reformation can be produced it is most reasonable to expect it tinder the influence oftho penitentiary system. The violator of the law of his countrv is shut op within tho wulls of a prison—secluded from a knowledge of passing events, obliged to la bor throughout the day, without an opportuni ty of holding converse with his fellow convicts, nnd when his daily labor is over, is locked up in u cell, with no other companion Ilian his, , - , ... biblc nnd his o»n thoughts.

III* Imperial Highness was the oldest son of i|, 0 unhappy Emperor Paul, and was horn ATay g 1779, consequently he completed his 52dyear about the period of his dissolution. Tho Grand Duke was, therefore, considerably ||, c senior of the reigning Emperor, who is only in his 35th yeur. His Highness formed a ma trimonial nllintico, in 1796, with the Prinre** Julia of Saxo Coburg, sister of the reigning Duke of Saxe Coluirg, her Roy.il Highness the Dutchess of Kent, nnd his Majesty |,eo- paid I. King of the Belgians This union however, did not turn out as happy as was rj! peeled, and the marriage was dissolved ig Alarcli, 1830, in order to enable the Grand Duke lo unite himself to the Countess of Grodzinks, who, upon her nuptials, was crea ted by the Emperor Alexander, Princess of Lowrez. Prior to the Polish Revolution. ;he Grand Duke chiefly residod nt Warsaw, hav ing been selected lo fill the duties of King’s representatives in Poland, in the autumn of 1825—Diebitseh proceeded to Warsaw to notify to his Highness the dissolution of the Emperor Alexander, nnd his consequent ac cession to the throne of the Czars.
