The Prisons of Europe. LBGTURE LAST EVENING BY THE REV. MR. SPEAR. ‘The Rev. Cnas. Srzar delivered an address last evening in the Bleecker street Universalist church, on the subject of his recent mission to England, for the purpose of inspecting the prisons of Europe. There ‘was a very thin attendance; but the wonder was, not that the congregation was so small, but rather that even so many persons could be found disposed to Jeave their comfortable homes on such an inclement evening, with the thermometer near zero. The pro- ceedings were opened by the pastor Treading a por- tion of the Scripture taken from the 21st chapter of | Matthew ; after which the 338th hymn was sung:— 0, Charity, thou heavenly grace, ‘All tender, soft and kind, A friend to all the human race To all that’s good inclined. The man of charity extends Toall his helping hand; ® His kindred, neighbors, foes and friends, His pity may command. The sick, the prisoner, deaf and blind, ‘And all the sons of grief, In him a benefactor find; He loves to give relief. Prayer was then made by the pastor, after which the 341st hymn was sung :— Hail, Love divine ! joys ever new; While thy kind dictates we pursue, Our souls delighted share; Too high for sordid minds to know, Who on themselves alone bestow ‘ Their wishes and their care. ‘The pastor introduced to the congregation Mr. Spear, who they were aware, he said had long devoted his time tothe subject of prisons, and to procure the abolition of the death penalty. Our late Min- ister in London, Abbott Lawrence, had sent to the Governor of Massachusetts a paper, inquiring into the criminal laws and statistics of the United States. This had been referred to Mr. Spear, who ‘was the person best acquainted with the subject. Mr. Spear was then sent to England with the informa- tion required, and for the purpose of making investi gations in regard to the criminal laws there. The tor read the letter of introduction which Mr. S. re from the late Daniel Webster to Sir George Grey, and another from Mr. Everett to the Hon. Ab- bott Lawrence. Mr. Spear was now in a position to give such information as he had collected in England. Mr.§. then came forward, and prefaced his discourse with the text: ‘‘I was sick and ye visited me; wasin prison and yecame untome.” How solemn and how impressive were these words. Christ did not forget a long neglected class—the rieoners—and has said, “inasmuch as ye have e it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done ituntome.”’ They had herethe highest divine authority, and he might say referring tothe let- ter read from Mr.Webster, they had the highest human | authority. In his last conversation with that dis- tinguished man, he had told him, “if my name is of | use to you in your labors, use it as you can.” He (Mr. 8.) had taken advantage of two of the modes of communicating his information—namely, the | press and the pulpit. He could not get any writer, at any price, to write an article in favor o} coat | pul ent. Every person going abroad selects some particular object of travel. le (Mr. S.) had gone not to visit the ces of Europe, but the dun- He was very kindly prepared for such a mission, so far as his letters went. His friend, this erentag, had read the letters of Mr. Webster and Mr. Everett, and he had also read the eee sent over by her Majesty’s government. He did not pur- going into the abstract question of capital pun- Ehment— jis sentiments were well known; but he did feel vi solemn, that there are five persons in yonder prison, who, within twenty days, are to be brought out to the scaffold and executed—killed— ut to death—murdered. He was not against every Kina of punishment, for he thought that no man can avoid two things—the wrath of God and the punish- mentofman. Of the thirty-one States of the Union, none had abolished capital punishment except Michi- and Rhode Island. It had been said that crime was increasing in Michigan; but that was false, and he had the authority of the Secre of State for saying so. In Maine and Massachusetts the law is, that no per- son shall be hanged until a year after the sentence is passed, and not then except by the order of the Go- vernor. He thought that if this were the law in New York, they would not send these five men to the scaffold, for time is a it softener. The pil- grim fathers had sixteen crimes for which death would be inflicted; the endeavored to copy Moses, but Moses bad no fess than thirty-four capital offences. He would remind them of what Christ said in the case of the poor woman caught in adul- tery: “Let him,” said Christ, “who is without sin among you cast the first stone at her.” He wanted that condition to be followed; and let none of those five men be hanged until a man isfound in New York who has never committed crime. . He thought it was wor- thy of remark that Prof. Webster, when in Europe would go out without his breakfast to see a man exe cuted. And what good effect had this upon him? In sixteen States the executions were private—none admitted but invited guests. Heaven and earth ! what vampires will be assembled to see these five men hanged? If a man is converted and brought to the Christian religion, ought he then to be hanged? And, if he is unconverted, would they send his soul ‘to endless torment? He free access to these five | risoners; they did not want to be stared at like wild feaaa but those who went to see them through sym- pathy they were glad to receive. When he was going to England, Wendell Phillips asked him to take two black girls to their father—a fugitive slave in Eng- land; but when he brought them down to the agent of the steamboat—a British one, too—he ret to take them because they were black. The only alter- native was to re; r them as his servante—a cir- cumstance which made some of the American jour- nals say that he couldn't goto ‘land without a of femaleservants. However, he the satisfac of placing the girls in the hands of their father in Live L His first course in London was to call on the Hon. Abbott Lawrence, who was very courteous to him, but told him he could do nothing to advance his Purpose, since he was already furnished with the Jetter of Mr. Webster, which was quite sufficient for his pul . Sir George Grey wrote a letter back to Mr. Webster, showing the fr' aatl feeling existii between them, on the greatest of all subjects—that o! the proper treatment of criminals. Sir George easy wwe him some very valuable prison reports, whic! he had bfought back with him. These reports com- prised the information that could possibly be rocured. They might ask what was the difference Boeween an lish prison and an American one? ‘The English prisons are enormous taxes. Connecticut makes profit on her prisons, and Massachusetts almost clears expenses. All they do now here, when the term of mment is over, is to discharge the | convict, he cannot again ee employment, and is riven back to the course of crime again, until he finds his way back to the State prison. They do not do much for diecharged convicts in England, and they do not do much here either. There is one exception to this rule; there is one family in London—that of Elizabeth Fry—which provides for discharged con- victa. The sainted mother is at rest where there fare no prisons, but her daughters continue her labors of love—God bless them for it. Mrs. Fry labored twenty to carry out the one idea—and that was to pl female ‘turnkeys in charge of | female prisoners. She achieved her work, and in | every prison of England her plan is pursued. Is there one woman Bere who labors at the one idea? Asthere one here who will go to see these five con- victa? Woman never looks so lovely as when engaged in carrying out reform. There is a certain part in all reforms which cannot be accom- plished without her. They talk of woman’s rights and privileges—her rights and privileges are to visit the cells, and the orphans, and the sick and needy, and minister to their several wants—and they needed no convention for this. There is hardly anything more interesting in London than the ragged schools. From London he went to Paris, and there he found more difficulty. in that city every thing is open except the prisons. He was told there, that he would not be admitted into the prisons, nor aboot to write anything on the subject of capital punishment, as Victor Hugo's son was already sent to Prison for that offence. But he showed the letter of Daniel Webster, and next day he received a note that all the prisons of Paris were open to him. In the women’s prison there were 1,100 inmates, and there he saw some angels—some Catholic Sisters of Mercy—engaged in their pious work. In the hospitals he met these same devoted women. He was nota bigot; and he would say, if a pagan erected a mosque before his door, and went and clothed the orphan, he would honor him, and ray, that is Christianity. Away, then, with bigotry; | and on this subject he would say, that the only min: | ister in this city who visited the five condemned men, | was a Catholic priest. The prisoners in Paris were in | u bad state; they have uo idea only to keep them within the walls. He saw some 300 or 400 of them ina yard together, gambling, and among themselves. As to imprisonment {or debt, the law | is, that the creditor must pay the debtor's board so Jong as he keeps him in confinement. He had per- mission to preach in all the pulpits except those of | the established church. He preached in a peniten- tiary or female Jum in London, and at the | head of that institution is the Queen herself. Haye we got any h women in America to do such a thing as this?

Police Intelligence. THE MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON MR. HAYDOCK—CURI- US EVIDENCE AGAINST THE NEGRO ACCUSED OF THE CRIME. ‘The negro, Alfred Seaman, arrested on Saturday, by Captain Leonard, charged with committing the murder- ous assault on Mr. Henry Haydock, the elderly Quaker gentleman, has been kept in ¢lose confinement at the station house since his arrest. The fact which led to the suspicion of the negro, and caused his ar- rest by the police for the crime committed, was the finding of a pair of shoes in the store, left by the assailant, and those shoes are identified as be- longing to the negro Seaman. It seems that the negro has been in the habit of doing porterage work in the vicinity of Mr. Haydock’s store, and one of these shoes had a very peculiar patch running down tne centre of the shoe; and so remarkable was this patch that on exhibiting the shoe to the porters in the neighborhood where the negro worked, they all pronounced it to be the shoe worn by Seaman. These shoes were taken to captain Leonard, who forthwith arrested Seaman and conveyed him to the station house; the shoes were put on the negro’s feet, and found to fit exactly. The patched shoe was exhibited to a young colored woman, living in Rose street, a friend of the accused, and she proclaimed it to be Seaman’s shoe, not knowing at the time that Sea- man was charged with the perpetration of any crime. The negro was conveyed on Saturday afternoon before Mr. Haydock. who at this time was stillat Clark & Brown’s, in Maiden lane, unable to be removed to his resi- dence. On entering the room, Mr. Haydock looked up from the bed, and eyed the accused very attentively, and exclaimed, ‘‘That is the man who tried to take my life.’” Mr. Haydock further said to him, “Why did’st thee by. to take my life? I never harmed thee.”” he negro replied, somewhat agitated, saying that he could prove that he was at home that evening, in Sheriff street, before seven o'clock, and that he was innocent of the charge. Mr. Haydock replied—‘1 hope thee can; but thou art the man that attempted to take my life. Mr. Haydock says he cannot be mistaken in the identit; of the man, a3 he looked well at him before the assault ‘was committed, Mr. Haydock’s account is, that he found the negro on the landing of one of the upper stories, and asked him what he wanted; and having a lantern with him at the time, he held it up, and the light reflected on the accused, giving him a full view of his countenance. The negro re- plied, that he had been locked in. Mr. H., not liking the appearance of the man, and belong alone at the time, stepped back, for the purpose of giving the negro room to pass and go off; but instead of the negro doing so, he Sprang upon Mr. H., knocked him down and cut him across the throat with a knife, and then ran off. ‘aptain Leonard feels confident that the evidence and circumstances already produced will be sufficient to fasten the commission of the crime on this negro. A Charge of Robbery.—Yesterday officer Nevin, of the first district police court, arrested 4 man named Anthony Hughes, on a warrant issued by Justice Osborn, charging him with violently assaulting Albert Clark, of No. 231 Mul- berry street, and robbing him of one sovereign, one half sovereign and some «mall change, in all valued at $8. The circumstances, as sworn to before the magistrate by the complalnant, are, that Clark, on Saturday evening, be- tween the hours of six and seven o'clock, visited the pub- lic house kept by Hughes, at No. 166 Washington street, and while in the said proniaea he was surrounded by se- yeral men, including Hughes, who knocked him down and beat him. Upon his sousining his feet, Hughes again knocked him down; and when Cae on his feet he was by Hughes and seven or eight other men, and his pockets searched and the money stolen therefrom. The ruffians after obtaining the money allowed him to go, and he proceeded to the lice court and made the facts known as above related. e offices took the accused before the magistrate, who committed him 4o prison for trial. ing the Kighth Avenue Railroad.—Officer Wal- lace, of the Ninth ward, on Saturday afternoon arrested a man named John O'Neil, on a cha) of throwing ob- structions on the track of the Eighth Avenue Railroad, thereby causing one of the cars to be thrown off the track. It seems that during the afternoon on Saturday @ difficulty eccurred in consequence of the laborers em- ployed by the railroad company throwing the ice and snow from the track on the side of the street, thereby blocking up the travel for vehicles. Another lot borers were engaged throwing back the the track. Several hundred persons coll« the disturbance, until the police interfere: them by taking O'Neil off to the station hc Court of General Sessions. Refore Judge Beebe and Aldermen Brisley and Francis.
