operation ia / every county ^ city , or parish throughout tho three Kingdoms , namely , the right of local ) self-government .

PRISON DIETARY . ( From a correspondent of the Times . J We should be glad to learn from Mr . William Merry , or any other ' vi > iting justice" wno is an aovocate for prison starvation , ai : J who justifies oatmeal porridge by reference to ducal commissariats or raore plebeian victualling departments north of the Tweed , the exact dailj allowance of raw whisky wbicb ia served out to every priso -er who has the twofold misfortune of expitaViDg bis offences against the laws of his country , by undergoing a rigorous system of coercion in confinement , and of being subjected at the same time to a
cruel -experiment on the capabilities of his digestive organs . It may comport wbith Mr . William Merry ' s notions of the decencies to be observed in that class of society in / which every unpaid magistrate is presumed to mova , and of the amount of consideration due to the feelings 01 men who , "whatever may be their crimes , are unquestionably objects' for the commiseration of tbeir fallow-creatures , to indulge in unseemly jokes about " mucou 3 membranes ;'' but the subject of prison discipline is of too momentous an importance to be laughed out of couutenucce by a more merry than wiBO reference to tbe oatmeal porridge vrhicb is eaten wita impunity ia Scotland .
The catmc&l-in-Scotland fallacy is one requiring a more serious attention than Mr . Merry ' s letter alone cuuid tempt us to bestow on it , because there is a certain amount of plausibility in it , not unlikely to impose on those country justices whose mental calibre ia not exactly proportionate to the authority which is intrusted to thtiu , and who , like Mr . Merry , draw general infeibnces ftorn particular propositions , and draw them with mischievous consequences , since , even where they have the best intentions , those inferences will generally decide their line of conduct We have no abstract
detestation oi oatmeal porridge , any more thnn we have of train oil or rotten eggs . They are all good in thtir way for those whom hereditary predisposition , habit , and bard necessity have reconciled to their nse ; bat because Greenlanders reiish train oil , and the South-American savages among whom Commedore Anson and such of his crew as survived tbeir shipwreck passed several wretched mouths could boast no better ; larder than a store of eggs which had been laid up for many months , wo see no reason why either of those articles of diet should be introduced
into this country ; and , though oatmeal is reckoned in England rather more palatable , we must protest against the Scotch diet being crammed down the throats- of Englishmen , except under circumstances similar to those wfeich render it an endurable food . And what are those circumstances ? Did Mr . Merry , when he was deer-stalking at the tail of a Duke , ever hear of mountainrdew or Slenlivet ? Is he aware that every gillie who runs at tbe heel of a deer-stalker is in tbe fullest enjoyment of liberty , of the free and unrestrained exercise of his limbs , of the finest mountain air , ond yet that , with all these aids to digestion , he "fortifies his stomach" by repeated drams of ardent spirits ? Can any one who will bestow & moment ' s rtflectiou on the subject hsilieve that a diet which may suit a man under
those circumstances is therefore proper to be introduced into a prison ? But It may be said that the labouring classes in the moBt crowded Scotch towns are compelled to resort to oatmeal as their chief food . We grant it ; but who that has passed , as we have , through , the wynds of ^ Edinburgh and Glasgow , has not been struck by the astounding number of epiriMlfiops Which supply to the poor what we have no hesitation iu calling one of their necessaries of life ? Contrast the Highlander whose life is passed on the heather , with the pallid , worn , and sickly artisan of tbe Cowgate , and then boast , if you will , of the virtues of mere oatmeal . When you resoive to make your experiments on English ^ prisoners , deprived of libc-rty , constrained to pass their days either without the exercise cf
or in the performance of tasks to which labour they have never been accustomed , cooped up in cells , breathing the close and contaminated air of a gaol , deprived of the cheering daylight , except in such glimpses as serve only to make its deprivation the more painfully jelt , and , beyond all this , suffering , except in rare instances , tbe constant mental anguish which a total disruption of all the ordinary habits of life , a forced separation from all tbe wonted scenes , amusements , and excitements of every day existence , from associates , friends , relatives , and home , and a constant sense of kDOwn guilt and shame must produce—when you resolve to practise your oatmeal experiments on men like these , aud to administer the diet to them trithout any of those stimulants which the practical
experience of a whole nation has shown lo be essential to its answering tbe purposes of food , bear that contrast in mind , and think bow much below the condition of that artizan yon are about to bring your neighbour . If one man may go to the north of Scotland for the basiB of a theory in w ^ isti he delights , another may seek ; in a higher latitude his ultima Lhule . It oatmeal is fit for Eagliah prisoners merely because it suits Qie Highlanders , the same reasoning will suffice to establish / the claims of Lapland and Esquimaux dishes , and oatmeal may be superseded by blnbber . If the food which agrees with one man under his peculiar circumstances is tlierefore to be given without discrimination to any man whom the country is bound-to keep alive , what logical reason is therefor
not giving it to every one who is supported at the public expence , and why are the turnkeys and gaolers maintained at tbe extravagant coBt of bread and meat ? If oatmbal is in all cases sufficient to nourish a man and keep Mm in health , why not at once reduce the army and navy estimates by striking out the superfluous rations ? We have abolished the stocks and whipping-post ( except where Royalty is concerned , an exception proving the absurdity of the rule , ) because the march of humanity cannot b ^ ar to have actual suffering for crime brought " between the wind and its nobility ;'' but we have no lack of soft-hearted persons who Abut their eyes to the sight of a discharged convict pining for months under the effects of his prison discipline , and enduring the miaery of an Injured con
stitution , an exemption from which would nave been mercifully granted by the application of the lash . Let them make the case their own , and fancy themselves condemned to oatmeal porridge for a single month . Such of them as remember the events of 1799 , when , in consequence of the scarcity of Wheat , tbe universal substitution of brown bread for white-was recommended by pioclsmat ien , and was attempted by every one , from the throne downwards , will probably recollect the fact , that this change of diet , apparently of such slight importance , was obliged to be abandoned after a single fbrtnighfa experience of tbe disorders which it produced . Can they , can any one who has any feeling for oia fellow-man , who , whatever may bo his crime , ia still bis ' neighbour , " uphold the oatmeal torture ?

THE PROFFERED ASSASSINATION OF MR . O'CONNELL . ( From the Times of Saturday . ) In our columns of yesterday we gave an account under the above heading of Borne proceedings which took place at Bow-street police-court on the previous night ; but in consequence of the extreme secrecy maintained t > y all parties concerned , we were enabled to give only snch particulars as- were derived from sources totally independent of the court ; but although some of those statements might have been slightly overstated , the ? were in substance perfectly correct .
; From information subsequently obtained , it appears that on Monday morning iaBt the Right Hou . Baronet the Secretary of State for tbe Home Department received at his private residence , Hill-street . Berkeleysquare , a letter bearing tbe Gl-jncaster post-office stamp . On perusing it , be found it to be dated " Gloucester , June 5 , " and signed ?• Samuel Mayer . " The letter , which was eouchtd in very rambling language , related chiefly to Irish politics , aud contained , among others , the following sentenco :- — " I will undertake , as I may be advised , to run theriek of my life against O'Connell . " The Right Hon . Baronet , immediately upon receiving the letter , proceeded to take the necessary steps in order to ascertain whether any person of the
name of Samuel Mayev resided at , or was known in the neighbourhood of , Gloucester , and having been satisfied upon the subject , he deemed it necessary to have him at once apprehended . Accordingly on Wednesday evening an implication was made to Mr . Twyford upon the subject , who forthwith issued a warrant for the purpose , which was placed in the hands of Inspector Otway , of tho A division , who without delay started for Gloucester , for the purpose of executing it . The officer experienced no difficulty in finding the accused , whom he at once apprehended , aud as speedily os passible conveyed to town , where they arrived at an early hour yesterday morning ; the prisoner was taken to Gardinet ' s-lnno station-house , where ho remained till
orders were aiven for his being conveyed to the Home-office , for the purpose of underg&ing an examination . 1 Shortly after eleven o ' clock yesterday morning Mr . Hall , the chief magistrate , accompanied by Mr . Burnaby , chief clerk at Bow-street , arrived at the Home-office , when orders were immediately given to have the prisoner taken there , whither he was at once conveyed by Otway , but tho txamluation did not take place till between one and two o ' clock . The only official persons present at the examination , we understand , were the Right Hon . Sir Jas , Graham , Mr . Manners Sutton , Mr . Hall , and Mr . Burnaby . The prisoner , who is a person of very gentlemanly appearance and demeanour , and apparently about 33 or 35 years of age , was then introduced . ' On being asked by Mr . Burnaby whether his name was 8 imuel Mnyer ? The prisoner said it was .
Mr . Burnaby having stated the nature of the charge against him , Sir James Graham briefly deposed to haviug received the letter in qntstion , and stated , that in consequence of the expression above . clluded to , contained therein , it was deemed necessary to call upon the prisoner to give an explanation of it . Mr . Hall neljed the prisoner whether he admitted the letter to be in feis handwriting ? The prisoner inime < Jfat A * ty admitted having written it . i Mr . Hall then asked him what atatempnt he had to nwko in answer to the charge , or whether he wished to give any explanation respecting the letter ?
Tbe prisoner said the fact was , that on Saturday last he was dining with some friends at Gloceat .-r , .-roil in the course of the evening the present state of affairs in Ireland was the subject of conversation , and particularly the conduct of Mr , O'Connell , and whilst under the influence <> t wine , he volunteered to write a letter to Sir James Graham upon the ( subject Without for a moment thinking what tho consequences might be , be wrote the letter in question , but he br . d no intention whatever of sealing it ; he put the letter in his pockat , in which waB another letter ho had written to his mother , and on the following day went to the postoffice for the purpose of posting the letter to his mother , but by mistake placed in tbe box the foolish letter in question , which he bad addressed to Sir James Graham . He did not find out his mistake till some time
afterwards , but as soon as he did so , be consulted bis friends upufi the subject , and 6 \ iji ? e » tdd the propriety of v » riti ing another to Sir Janus , in explanation , but so little did his friends think of it , that they advised him not to do so , feeling assured that Sir James would not look upon it in a serious point of view , but consider it as it really was , tbe effusion of a man under the excitement of wine . He solemnly protested that he had no evil intention in writing the letter , and expressed in the strongest terms his regret for bis folly in bavin ? written it , and the unfortunatakgniBtake he subsequently made ia posting the wrong Tetter . He coufidttntentiy submitted that the whole tenour of the letter , from iu > very rambling cbaractur , showed it to have been written under the influKUce of drink , anil could not have been penned , by him at a subsequent period whilst in bis proper senses .
Mr . Hall said the writing euch a letter was undoubtedly a misdemeanour , for which be was liable to be severely punished ; and it was certainly such an offence which could ni > t be passed over without notice . The prisoner again expressed his extreme regret at what bail occurred , and handed in a testimonial , signed by the Hiqb-SherifFof GJocestershire , and many of the most respectable inhabitants , as to his high respectability and good character . Mr . Hull repeated , that under the circumstances such an offence could not be passed over with impunity ; be should therefore call upon the prisoner to enter into his own recognizances ia the sum . of £ 500 , aud find two sureties in £ 100 each , for his appearance at the July sessions at the Central Criminal Court , to answer any indictment Which may be preferred against him . ' Two gentlemen who . accompanied tbe prisoner from Glocester immediately entered into the required sureties , and he was forthwith released from custody .
1 We understand the prisoner , who is a married man , and has a family of four children , is much respected in Glocester , where he for some years practised as a solicitor , but lately relinquished that profession upon bdng appointed to a situation ia the Custom-house at Glocester .

HOUSE OF COMMONS-Tuesdat , June Lord Dalmeky moved the second reading hf « , HaJbeath and Dolgeliy Railway Bill . g t 69 It was opposed fay Mr .

would have precedence 01 a » other business tv Hon . Baronet then read the motion whic h he intend ed to submit , whioh , in substance , charged th government with having made the most provokiaelV uncivil and military demonstration in Irelana In the great injury of the privileges of Parliament aM in violation of the constitutional rights of th » subject to assemble and petition Parliaitent for the . removal of any alleged grievance . ( ' * Hear hear , " and a laugh . ) *• fljin answer to a question from Lord R . Grcsvenor Sir Jam .-s Graham said he was not prepared » n concur in the provisions of the Interment m Towns Bill . Mr . Mackinnon afterwards intimated that afte * what had fallen from the Home Secretary , he was not prepared to say whether he would go on » iA his Bill . The Bill , of course , is lost . W
Sir R . Peel said tbe discussion of the Snj »» Duties , he trusted , wonld be taken on Monday but this would depend on the length of the debit * on the Irish Arms Bill . He trusted , however that the Factories Bill would be brought forw » i on that evening . Lord J . Hdssell moved that the House rtsoiT 9 itself into a Committee of the whole House , f ™ the purpose of considering the present state of the Corn Laws . The Noble Lord made a-long-sfeehon th 6 subject . Numerous speakers followed , nj , on a divisiofl , the motion was rejected by a va , ^ The other Orders of the Day were disposed of and the House adjourned at half-past twelve o ' clock .
WEDNESDAY , JUNE 14 . Mr . Hume gave notice that on Tuesday week he would brrng forward his motion respecting the pension of the Duke of Cumberland . Mr . Milner Gibson put various questions to Sir R . Peel on the state of public business , more particularly as regarded tho intentions of Government with respect to the Factories Bill , the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill , and the Local Courts Bill . Sir Robert Peel replied that bir James Graham would this day state to the House the course whioh he meant to take with the Factories Bill .
Mr . Hk'dleit inquired if Government had investigated the circumstances attending the introduction of 400 bales of American manufactures into this country , consigned to Messrs . Baring , Brothers , and Co . He trusted there would be an opportunity of getting at the real faets of the ease . Sir R . Peel said his Right Honourable Frienif the President of the Board of Trade , would proba ^ bly answer the question . Tbe House then went into Committee of Supply . On the proposed annuity of £ 3 , 000 a year to the Princess Augusta of Cambridge being moved , Mr , Hume opposed the grant . He disclaimed any intention to reflect on the . character of the Duke of
Cambridge . He reflected oniy on Ministers , who could propose such a grant . He denied that thew was any principle or precedent upon which the country was called upon to support the children of Royal Dukes . If there were , rt might extend as fairly to their grandchildren , and what was- ( fie limit to which these grants might not extend ? Ho asked why should the children of the Duke of Cambridge be treated differently from those of the Duke of Sussex ;—and with reference to the grant immediately under consideration referred to' a grant of £ 2 , 000 a year , which was already enjoyed by a relation of the Prince of Strelin , under an Irish Act of Parliament , of 38 Georw
III ., under which he calculated that £ 335 , 000 had been paid to that personage . He put it to t ! ie Government whether such gran's did not impair tbo position of ithe Crown in the affections of the people . What would be said now if it was proposed to the Bouse of Commons to grant £ 335 , 000 to the nephew of Q-ieen Charlotte ! The proposed grant , considering ttoat the Royal Family were long-lived , he calculated might in , forty-five years amountto £ 500 , 000 ; and he denied that there was any sufficient ground for such a grant . After some
further observations , in which he took a rerieir of the civil list , the Honourable Member concluded by moving an amendment , in the following terms— " That in tho opinion of the . committee , the simple allowance so long enjoyed by his his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge should have enabled him to make provision for his children ; and it ia neither wise nor just , especially in the present state of the country , and the deplorable destitution of the labouring classes , to propose any ' grant by way of dowry for the Princess' Augusta Caroline of Cambridge . "
Mr . Liddell , amidst general symptoms of impatience , protested against the amendment . Sir R . H . Inglis opposed the amendment , and contended that tho proposed grant to the Princess Augusta was not worth one-tenth of the sum Mr Hume bad calculated . Mr . F . Baring suggested that the grant to the Princess Augusta should not take effect till the decease of the Duke of Alecklenburg Strelitz , who at present enjoyed a pension from this country . Colonel Wood contended that the grant proposed fell far below tho deserts of the Duke of Cambridge , whose name was at the head of all the charities ia thia country , and who never refused to preside at dinners for charitable purposes .
Mr . Ward thought the Duke of Cambridge should provide for his own daughter ' s marriage , as any other nobleman or gentleman did . Considering the distressed state of the country , he put it to the Hou 3 o whether it was fit thus to add to the tinsel of royalty . Sir R . Peel urged that the Duke of Cambridge , though he had undoubtedly received a large income , had to transmit a Dukedom to his successor , with the means of keeping up its dignity . The proposed grant was not to take effect till the death of the Duke of Cambridge . iMr . Hume having disputed the right on the ground of precedent , for such a
vote , he would Temind the House that all tha daaghtcrs of George -the Third were allowed £ 16 , 000 a year , and the Princess Sophia of Gloucester , who was not so nearly allied to her Majesty as the Princess Augusta , received £ 7 , 000 a year . The grant to the Duke of Strelitz already existing , was made in consequence of wrrilorial sacrifices to which he had to submit doring the French Revolution . He abstained from entering into details of calculation , but he thought that the House , with all regard to the distressing circumstances of the country , would be fully justified in making such a grant as that which he proposed .
On a division , the mction was carried by 223 against 57 . The report . will be considered thia day . The Coroners Bill was read a second time , aft # which the House adjourned .
