The floor tlf the corridor is composed of. bricks,
which are kept scrupulously clean, and in its
centre, extending through the whole building at
intervals, we noticed vessels containing chloride
of lime, placed there for the purpose of purifying
:the air. We bad previously been informed that
three oonviots were there with die anaemia or
death impending over them, and upon expressing
a desire to see them, Mr. Mullen accompanied us
to the cell occupied by
ROBERT FORD
Before we halted, we noticed the face of this un
fortunate colored man pressed closely to the aper-
ture at the top of hie eoll-door. The entry-door
was opened by an attendant, and nothing separat
ed no from the convict but the inner-door or iron
grating. He appeared delighted with the Idea of
seeing no, and was exceedingly communicative.
He related, In detail, the account of a quarrel be
had had • with his brother-In-law at Kingsessing,
in the Twenty-fourth ward, of this pity, in the
month of May, 1850, during which the latter was
wounded by being stabbed in the addomen. While
acknowledging that he had need the weapon which
produced this injury, Ford contended that had
proper medical attendant's been immediately sum
moned, his opponent would probably have been re•
stored to health. Ho died, however, and Ford
was oonvioted of murder and sentenced to death.
This occurred in 1850, but the day of hie 0.10011-
Hon has never been fixed. In the meantime ha
has been kept in solitary confinement with the
constant dread of death hanging over him, and the
hope of a pardon from the Governor almost utterly
extinguished. He Is: a rather intelligent-looking
person, enjoys tolerably good health, bee learned
the shoemaking business, and has become quite an
adopt in that trade. lie considers that the princi
pal reason why he has ,not been pardoned is the op
position manifested by his wife, who has been ren
dered implacable by her brother'S death. Passing

Thin person was convioted some four years ago
on the charge of murdering his wife, Arabella
Stewart, at his residence in Merchant a troet, on
the spat now 000npied by, the Binh-street market.
The particulars of that horrible affair are doubt
less familiar to most of our readers. Ile asserts
that ho was prompted to commit the fiendish not
by evidences of his wife's infidelity, and appears
to regard her as having been a moat infamous
creature. West was born in the city of Baltimore,
and was thirty-live years old on the twenty-third
of last June. Ile is about five feet ten inches high,
of pleasing address, and wears a neatly trimmed
pair of whiskers and a brown moustache. Ile has
a decidedly intellectual expression, and is a
fine poet and &dieter. Ile is the author of
a number of fugitive pieces, which have
from time to time been printed in some of the
Philadelphia papers. Ile said that since his eon
finement 'he had written more than six hundred
foolscap pages of poetry, but that the greater part
of It had disappeared with the exit of some of bis
distinguished visitors.. Ile amuses himself by
writing poetry in a beautiful hand, and some of, his
productions he Moslem to large sheets of 'paper,
and surrounds them with really beautiful borders
representing fine flowers and other designs—all
being executed with an ordinary pen and ink.
When we were introduced to him, we found
him busily engaged in painting' a little box
manufactured by himself, of paper which had boon
subjected to a process which rendered it perfectly
water-proof. It was well finished and tastefully
otniantinted. On a table we naked a lot of print
ing 'materials, and specimens' of his handiwork,
while on a hanging-shelf were -placed some fifty
volumes, among which were Phstareh's Lives,
D'Anhigne'e History of the Reformation, Shak

These,-he informed us, 'wort his treasures; limns of
them he had purchased, and others had been pre-

oerated for drunken and disorderly am:RBA or thei
trivial charge of vagrancy, have spent the greater
part of their lives winta the confines of Moya
menslng. A few of them have been admitted and
discharged as often as one hundred and fifty times,
and among this number is a woman who is known
only by the name of
JENNY LIND
. .
Jenny is iota theft fdrty j coil of age, and might
be considered rather good looking. Effie is slightly
built, but possessed of great muscular etrongth and
obstinate character. She has probably required
more care and caused more oonfusion than any
tither person ever confined in the prison. The
most severe punislintent inflicted upon a denizen of
thin department Is incarceration in the "dark
cell" and the "shower bath." On amount of the
great danger to 'be feared tom ,the latter, it has
very seldom been brought into requisition. In
deed, the only person to whom it has been severely
applied is thin Identical Jenny Lind, and She
proved to be so obstinate, that after having been
confined within the narrow limits of the bath and
subjected to the immense pressure of water pre
cipitated upon her person, she persisted in de
claring that she would not reform, and was finally
taken out almost insensible.

has been used but throe or four times within the
last eight or ton years. It is located in the ground•
floor of the department, at the southern extremity
of the building, and as it is considered the most
horrible punishment that can bo suffered, wo will
endeavor to give a brief description of it. It is an
upright box, about two foot square, and when the
door is closed is perfectly air-tight, with every ray
of light excluded. The victim is obliged to stand
crest, with the head a few inches below the
strainer. The water Is then turned on, and pours
through several hundred apertures at a fearful
rate. The keeper and an attendant aro stationed
outside, and as soon as the prisoner expressos hie
intention to reform, be is let out. if ho persists,
however, in defying their ante to subdue him, as
was the ease with Jenny Lind, he is taken out,
placed in a dark cell, and kept on bread and water
until a reformation is effected. Tho shower-bath
punishment has recently been abolished at the
Sing Sing prison, as at Auburn, New York, a con
vict lately died from the effects of Its operation.
We were shown a prisoner, yesterday, whose
name hae become almost as familiar to the mana
gers of Illoyamensing as that of Jenny Lind. She
hae spent the greater pert of her lite here, though
never oonvieted of any serious offense. She assorts
that she never even committed a theft, but that
the great curse of her life has been her love of
liquor. She is a kind-hearted woman, and in times
of stances her services as aburse are invaluable.
In the dark cell, we found a woman who had
been in her day a dashing equestrienne in Uonoral
Welsh's circus, and was present at the groat fire
In 1854, when the theatre at Ninth end Chestnut
streets was destroyed. Several years ago, while
riding a horse In the ring, and in the not of jump
ing through a balloon, she fell to the ground and
broke her back. This, of course, rendered her un
fitted for the duties of her former occupation, and
she subsequently sang in our lager beer saloons.
She has bog been an excessive drinker. Upon
Inquiring why she was put in the dark cell we
learned that a few days ago, while in the act of
getting out of the van, she had struck one of the
other prisoners so violent a blow that the latter fell
to the pavement and broke her nose.
The prisoners are furnished every morning with
a loaf of bread and as much cold water as they
may desire. At five o'clock in the afternoon they
receive a certain quantity of black tea; shortly
after this their cell doors are looked for the night.
Divine service is held every Sunday morning by
clergymen of different denominations, and their
efforts are frequently productive of good results.
Ml=
The wing appropriated to the use of those parsons
who may be awaiting their trial, or who have been
sentenced to terms of short imprisonment, id located
at the western end of tho building. Bare, toa, is
the place called " purgatory," where those afflict
ed with mania-a potu, or danrium tremms, are
confined. Nor many years persons of this stamp wore
kept in single cells, or perhaps one ease of mania
was given in charge of a prisoner of sane mind.
On one occasion, we were informed, when an unu
sually violent person was thud imprisoned, during
the night he had an altercation with his keeper,
and suooseded in putting him to death. When the
oflieer went his rounds the next morning, his horror
can be better imagined than described upon be
holding the malaise playing foot-ball with the head

northwestern extremity of the third story of this
building hare been fitted up for the . oonfinement of

be a very small one—say two or three.

lin, now so ftnnienent, would be Impossible, in
spite of the abandonment of the Democrat'', ticket

You will observe that the Southern people com
mence to speak plainly. If Mr. Lincoln should be
elected after all, be will be to no man indebted
more than to James Birdman. Whatever may be
the result of the Virginia Conventions, so much is
certain, that the Opposition will oarry Virginia.

The President Is going to-morrow to Anapolio, In
one of the United States vesaels, to see the Great
Lastorn. Some say he will grow eloquent, If again
he feels British bottom under his feet.
Decapitations of Douglas, or rather Democratic,
office-holders seem to be the order of the day. It
is a matter of surprise to me, that all those who
are appointed in their steed aro not treated with
utter contempt, as hirelings, mercenaries, worse
than Swiss soldiers, or our negro slaves, and avoid
ed by every honest man, whether Democrat or Re
t publican, as unworthy of the company of free men.
Holding a political office, under such degrading
circumstances, under the present Administration
one year, is more injurious to the character of an
honest and free mart than as If he had beenfive
years in the penitentiary. Noz.

Pait•sorarnis, Aug 8, IMO.
As ono of readers of your saluablo paper, I
wish to ask a question or two for my own informa
tion.
In relation to the Missouri election I see it
stated that Mr. Barrett is probably cleated for the
short term, and Mr. P. P. Blair for the tong term.
Now, I should like to know what is meant by
these expressions? I am not aware that members
of the Douse of Representatives oan be elected
for any other length of time then two years, at
ono election, unless it be to fill a vacancy, and then
it mot be two years or less. Will you pleat°
explain?
Alao, how the sane voters could elect Mr. Dar•
rett for the " short term," and not for the long
one? Reapootfully, It 'C. A.
['Five years ago, Mr Barrett and F. P. Blair,
Jr, wore opposing candidates for Congress in Bt.
Louis, and the result, as officially announced, was
the election of Mr. Barrett. Mr. Blair, however,
contested the seat, and a short time before the ad
journment of Congress, at its late session, it deci
ded that he was entitled to it on account of the
frauds alleged to have been committed by the
friends of Mr. Barrett. As BOOM as this decision
FM rendered, Mr Blair resigned, on the ground
that his only object was Is have a fair test of the
sense of the people of Ms district, and a new elec
tion for a " short term," via : the second session
of the present Congress, thus booame necessary,
booms* Congress had decided that Mr. Barrett
was not entitled to the seat, and Mr. Blair had re
ferred the whole question bask to the people.
If it should turn out that Mr. Barrett has been
cleated for the short term," and not for the long
one, it will be because the Bell and Everett perky
ran a caniUdate for the latter, and not for the
former; and berm= when no candidate of their
own was in the field, a majority of them preferring
Barrett, a Democrat, to Blair, a Republican, voted
for the former, while by supporting their party
candidate for the full term, they weakened the
strength of Barrett, and thus elected Blair.—En )

for some time past arrests of priests for having
prohibited weapons conceded about their person

Cortona (rusoany) on hit leavingthe altar, where
be bad been celebrating mass, and a stiletto Was
found on him, which he in vain attempted . to
throw away. This was the third priest arrested
for such an offence at Cortona alone within a

to a floe of blf. for the same offentie of baring

—Prince Edward, of Saxe Weimar, has raised a
point of considerable importance to military men
in England. His highness is an officer in the
Grenadier Guarde, and was proceeding in uniform
to Kensington barracks, in a private carriage. On
arriving at the Kensington gate toll waidemanded,
but he declined to pay, urging that, under the
mutiny act, Mainers going on duty were exempted
from payment. The exemption Wag not, however,
admitted, and the Prince was summoned before
the Hammersmith pollee magistrate, and ordered
to pay, as the " Queen's carriages are alone ex
cepted."

The Re-appearance of Ettwit Forrest.
The New York Tribune of yesterday, sys :
Although this distinguished tragedian ken many
times announced his determination to set no awn,
and has indeed carried oat this resolution so far as
to retire from the stage more than Ave years, he
him; at lasr consented to play a eerie* of farewell
engagements in the principal cities of the Halos.
Mr James N. Nixon, of itikes Garden, is the
fortunate manager who bas succeeded in inducing
Mr. Forrest to this action. The engagement is de-
Anita for two hundred nights, beginning on Mon
day, the 17th nt September. Mr. Forrest will
open at Niblo's Garden, and for the lint two weeks,
until his voice has become accustomed to the now
long unused excitements of the stage, he will set
but three nights in each week ; after that time,
he will probably play every night. It is in
contemplation by the tragedian and the ma
nager, to leave nothing undone to make
this engagement, which will be the Last, the wait
brilliant of any ever played by Mr. Forrest. A
company will be engaged specially, with a view to
their thorough excellence In the style of plays
which will be produced, and. as these sugagaments
will be made, in the case of the leading people.
for the whole twn hundred nights, neither paths
nor money will be spared to 'secure the Arrt artists
in the country. The leading members of the party
will travel with Mr. Forrest, so that the chi:awed
other towns will be for once regaled with dramatis
performances of equal excellence with those of
New York. Mr. Charles Fisher, one of the best
Shakespearian motors in America, has been al
ready engaged, and negotiations are in progress
with the others whose services are required. Mr.
Forrest himself designates the artists he would
like to have play with him, when, if possible,
they are at once secured. In one or two
cases previous engagements have proved trouble
some, but the season is so early that own
paratively few actors have made engagements
for the neat winter. One notable feature et the
company, will be the engagement of two leading
ladies: one for the Pauline,. the Jails de Morse
amens, and the C.:Janata ; the other for the Lady
Macbeth, and Emitias. The actress who L equal
to Lady Macbeth has seldom the youth sad loyoli
nese that should distinguish Juliet. At Niblo's
Gatdan, all the scenes to be need in Mr. Forrest a
pieces will be painthd new, and we are assured
eaveral Shakspearian tragedies will be p rodnoed
.
in a manner that has never been excelled, is Ame
rica. Mr. Forrest will play in Boston, Philadel•
his, Baltimore, and perhaps in a few other cities,
but New York will naturally claim the meet of his
time. In Mr Forrest', last engagement at the
Broadway Theatre, in 1855, he performed in the
°Bowing plays: "Othello." "Lady of Lyons,"
' Macbeth," Pizarro," "Brutus," " The Glees
or " "Lea :," "Jack Oslo," and " Hamlet." In
addition to theca plays, we understand that be has
it in contemplation to produce two or three new
tragedies, written for him, sad which he has never
acted.
SULPHUR. IN COAL —The gas usually
burned in moat of the large cities in this country
and in Europe is now mutt more pure than for

mixed with the gas at the moment of its genera'

moved before it is allowed to enter the maims for
public consumption. Notwithstanding the beet
