Crime and Pauperism v. Education.
There are nearly a million paupers normally in England and Wales, costing £6,000,000 sterling per annum, and crime abounds to such an extent that the expenditure for prisoners and police in this country for 1861 was £4,600,000 ; and it wag estimated at the same time that there were 130,000 criminals at large preying on the community. The cost of these criminals to the community at only £50 per annum each will be ££6,500,000 sterling, making the whole cost of crime £11,000,000 per annum. Pauperism and crime, therefore, burden us to the extent of £17,010,000 per annum, or four times the . amount needed to educate every working man's child in the kingdom.— Meliora. Thei Abyssinian Captives.-— The Times of India, of July 12, gives the following from Aden, July 2 :— " The Abyssinian Mission is 'in stato quo' at Massoweh, drawing its extra pay, and doing nothing. The prisoners are said to be in good health after their 18 months' captivity. This speaks well for the climate of their prison-house, and their powers of endurance. Their chance of re« lease 1b about as remote as that of Mr Rassani reaching Gondar."
