Wo publish the male, rial part of it, as follows: ; The past year furnishes an unusually favorable state orhcaHli amongst the prisoners. There hav been companjiitely no mckhcs* tn ihe prison, and only one instance of death. The genera) behavior of tho prisooern has been qnict and. pcacetol thronghout the year. The history oftbn past year basslrcngih :cncd my coavtCliobs in favor of the separate system oT confinement. When rightly adminitiered, it has not proved Acre, detrimental to either menial or physical health. - ..... My forracr views being unchanged, J have nothing new lo present in the present report. We have now inicohfitietnent, one hundred and IbirtyvWro males anil t'«ro '.females. We have re ceived seventy-two, and discharged sixty one. The increase of our onmbcrs is parity owing to the operation of tho law prohibiting diwharhes in the winter months, bnt roainlv to the tr.rrcate of in temperance. * The whole number of prtroerrs received rince the opcning_of the prison; July Ist, 1556, 1() Decem ber 31st;. 1850, is fonrfee.it Ttqisdrcd and forty.tivo, vita- elesen - hundred and seventy-seven white males; and twenty-three white .females, and two hundred and. th>eo riilined male*, and thlriy-nise colored fcames, ■ '■ ■■ ■ - ; f WT * Clove pages of the Report arc occupied with tables showipg the hqnibct orj.risifncrs fof.iiihed by each coonty, their occupations, ptare of nativity, the crimes.for-which.they we tccoiamiltedjliie., Ac. The Report of Br. Date, Physician to the Peni tentiary, shows that nnt of 195 convicts io the m ntilution, during the year, there was hot a single death. “ But health, (say*.the Doctor) could hardly liavc been e njoy cd hy~ LGrTsam e n tun her of persour, uoder any circnmmauces, than has been vouchsafed 10 the inmates of tfits prison.’’ The tioclor lunher states of sixty convict* discharged, not one hat left lie prison but in,good heallh, or MUr that that in which he was reeoived. The krportol the Moral (naiructor, Res. A. W. Bcack, is also very inlercating. We append pretty fail extracts : Professions of^ conversion to God are not un?Vc quent among prisoners. Them arc, aohm tiic«?c walls, many wbt» «ay they have left the rfgeocrsticg inllqences of divine grace. And there needs hd the application of « ei7t«g agmeitt at any lime to make such condition citcnstvelr prevalent. The moral' instruction of this prison, embrace* the communication to those wiio' afn .Hcni here m utter ignorance, of iho rudimcnls of a cociinon ed«- ention. Those who cannot read, are uught to read* and especially tortnd the Bible, and upon all, these influences which arc calculated to cultivate the mind and improve the heart, are constantly and prayerfully brought to bear. ln«r?;)uejOQ from each other, prisoners are made to foci jtfmt God has given them minds to iniprore and cultivate, and hearts to make belter/ The study of the word of God, the reading of hooka of moral .-tod religunii chafanttr/ and work# of ccienoe rmd the hiitoncs dfjhe great hud good of all ages, ami all of tins, associated with ibo daily cnmmaoinn of men of the strictest morality,'and of religious character, as are the officers pf this prison, ore tho thing* which make separate confinement _a bleuing and not 0 eur&e. — There Is do gloomy, solitary, dcaihiol riohi/fon in the'Pennsylvania system’thns administered. On every Sabbath through the year, tho custom is to preach the gospel to all the prisoners. They hear, in the plainest and most simple language, the way ol salvation throngh.Jesus Christ,'explained arid* enforced. They listen with still attention to the words of everlasting life, and when the praise of God is sung,, their voices arc. heard in the ,met ody of divine worship. Through tho week, day after day they are visited in their cells. Tho igno« rant are taught, the anxious and inquiring sinner is directed to the'Saviour, and the scholar, who would make himself a better man by mental and moral training, is furnished with books suitable to his con* dition, and is directed how lo use them. Tho prm lego also of corresponding by letter with absent relations and fneods, has been granted, as usual, to the prisoners. Frequently, throughout tho year, they have heard from father or mother, or wile or child, and thus the holier charities of our nature arc kept alive in a soil even as barren ami sterile as a convict’s heart. These are the instrumentalities for good in the penal system of separafo confinement, which;make-it a merciful visitation, and which ere* ate its immeasurable superiority over evory other. There ore, at the present lime, one hundred and th»rty*lbur convicts in rtbia prison.. Of lhcso, one hundred and seven confess-they wore intemperate.

In. the Senate there was a vigorous and most in teresting debate on the snbject of the repealof the Board of Revenue Commissioners, which,was, par -ticipatdd 4o by most of the members. Amongst" the strongest opponents ot the repeal was Messrs; Packer and Sanderaon. I believe I yesterday gave you some statiBtrc3 farnished by Mr. Packer, and regret that it was not in my power to be present when Mr. Sanderson made his remarks. Alter a protracted discussion the, whole affair was indefi nitely postponed. It will no doubt rejoice your readers to know that Colonel Hugus, of the Senate, made a bold push in favor of therevival of the military spirit in the Commonwealth. He boldly contended for the old militia parades, and urged the propriety ofifumishing each company with a new fife and drum. Tho Col. no doubt feels that it is deroga. tory to the character of the great State of Penn, sylvania to he without an efficient military or* ganization, such as prevailed before the,repeal oi the old Militia system.
