IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. la the House of Loans yesterday, on the order of the (lay for going into committee on the Com pulsory Church Rates Bill, Earl RussELL said the Earl of Malmesbury had given notice of his intention to move that the bill be referred to a select committee, and he should not oppose the motion. After a short conversation the bill was referred to a select committee. Several other bills were forwarded a stage, and the house adjourned at a quarter to 6 o'clock. In the Horse of COMMONS, on the order of the day for going into committee on the Irish Church Establishment, Mr. livarEes moved that the oath taken by Roman catholic members previous to its alteration in 1866, be read by the clerk at the table. Mr. BOU VERIE objected that the motion was not in order, the oath having been repealed. The SPEAKER said the oath was binding on those who took it, but whether it should be read was a question for the house to decide. Mr. th.AosroNE (amid much cheering from the opposition) said he should meet the motion with a direct negative. It was made with a view of stirring up the embers of political animosity. Mr. DJSKAELI appealed to the hon. member to withdraw the motion, and Mr. SusrEEs withdrew it. The house, however, refused to let it he with drawn, and it was, consequently, put and nega- tired. The adjourned debate was then resumed by Sir M. IIEACH, who argued against disendowment— thutigh he admitted the present distribution of the revenues was not just—and against the disesta blishment, because the removal of the Irish church would be a great gain to Roman catholicism. Sir C. O'Cociii.rN regarded the resolution as es tablishing the principle that there should be no ascendency on account of any particular form of • religious belief. Sir W. HEATHrOTE argued against the resolu tion as an attack nut only on the Irish but the Eng- - , lish church, and on vested rights. Mr. W. eI , WPEK considered that one of the • greatest torments in favour of the resolution was that the Irish church was an offence against the Illakrity of the population, who looked upon it .tut a a religions but a political institution, planted there by England. It was established to bind the people to this country, but it was a new cause of antagonism. The country was formed into two hostile camp, the church being a fortress which was to be defended by one party and attacked by the other. Mr. S. CAVE said the resolution enlisted those parties who had no coherence or sympathy, Roman catholics, ritualists, and protestant dissenters, and also those who sought to displace the government. He warned the house against giving a triumph to Fenianistn. Mr. W. E. 13.‘xrnit said the iinestion was be tween disendowment and indiscriminate endow ment ; but no proposition was more likely to light up the tire of religious discord than the proposition to endow all churches. He never knew so much unanimity in Scotland since the latter days of the agitation against the corn laws as existed in favour of these resolutions. The debate wa , continued by Mr. Inns, Lord C. Hamilton, and Sir .1. Hay, against ; and by Lord F. Cavendish, Mr. Reardon, and Mr. Young in support of it. Mr. WALPOLE stoutly defended the Irish church from the attacks which had been made upon it, and solemnly protested against breaking the com pact entered into for its maintenance by the act of union. Those who wished to destroy the church were bound to show that its destriction would re move discontent and disaffection, and that they had nut done. The truth was that disaffection and discontent were external to Ireland, was imported from abroad, and was a foul conspiracy not against the established church merely, but against all order and law and government. Supposing the Irish church disestablished, and there would then be two churches in Ireland independent of the supremacy of the crown, and he asked if that would tend to maintain British rule. _ . Lord EL. .1141 entered his protest against the time and the manner, and against the thing that was proposed to be done. This was proposed as an act of atonement to Ireland, but for two generations the policy of the house towards Ireland had been a policy of conciliation and concession to a church which would never be satisfied. He could not follow Mr. Gladstone in this question, because this was more than an Irish question. He denied that the principle of religious equality was the principle of our constitution. Logically the dis establishment of the church in Ireland meant disestablishment in England and Scotland. The question was about to be put witch Mr. Gi.an , rost: rose and said the debate had turned upon extraneous matters and not the Irish church itself. It was said the Irish church had existed for 300 years, and that was all that could be said in its favour. It was all but universally admitted that it had never fulfilled, and it was de monstrated that it never could fultil, the objects of a state church. It was the church, not of a nation, but of a fraction. It was admitted by the govern ment as well as by the opposition that the present state of things could not continue. He should pass over in silence the accusation of conspiracy made against him and others by Mr. Disraeli, though it was the reverse of truth. While he admitted no conspiracy, he admitted that he and those who acted with him were in spontaneous concurrence with that party all over the world who were endea vouring to break down the system of religious ascendency. There were two objections made to the proposition, one was as to the effect it would have on the church of England, and the other as to the time it was made, and to these objections he replied at some length. He called on the house to inaugurate a policy for Ireland similar to that which they had adopted in the colonies, and the result of which was that they had in them a British party-, not the small party of former days, but the whole community, and so it would be in Ireland. The right hon. gentleman then referred to the language of the Earl of Derby in the House of Lords in which the noble earl advised the government not to resign, whatever might be the opposition made to them. Fur one he gave lair notice that in the discharge of those duties which the constitution assigned to him he would not, under any circumstances, consent to receive from another place the word of command. Mr. DISRAELI said the government objected to the discstablishment of the Irish church, because it would be injurious to Ireland. It was said that they had not defended the church in Ireland, but what they complained of was that those who objected to it alleged nothing against it. They objected to it also because it would endanger the security of property. Sir F. Nino:ars then withdrew his amendment, and the committee divided on the first resolution, which was carried by a majority of 63—the nun: hers being 330 to 263. Mr. DISRAELI said the resolution arrived at had altered the relations between the government and the present House of Commons, and he should therefore move that the house at its rising adjourn until Monday. The other orders of the day were then gone through, and the house adjourned until Monday next. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. EAST KENT.. -- This contest came off yesterday, and resulted in the return of Mx. Pemberton, the conservative candidate, by a majority, so far as could be asoertained at the time our information was despatched, of 532. Both parties were sanguine of success up to the day of polling, and the first return issued by Mr. Tufton's central committee showed a majority in his favour. Subsequent statements represented him in the minority, and this was borne out by the result : —Mr. Pemberton (Conservative), 3,699 ; Mr. Teton (Liberal), 3,167 ; majority, 532.

The abodes et the Whits are not, as a class, of a model character—far from it. In many instances they are little better than mere hovels. scarcely fit for human use ; eontetimee,how ever, they are to be found decently, even comfort ably, fitted up and furnished. The great . bane of the men is their predilection for beer and gin. This is at the bottom of half their troubles. Of course there are numerous exceptions, but in she case of the majority the public-house consumes the bulk of their earnings ; yet even in this respect there has been visible a great improvement of late years, arising partly from legislative restrictions with re spect to the employment of females and children, and partly from the increased diffusion of know ledge and purer tastes among the labouring portion of the community. Much of the discomforts of home life among the colliers is occasioned by the circumstance of most of the colliers' wives and grown up daughters being employed in factories or at the pit-mouths. The employment of females at the pit-mouth has long since fallen into discredit and bids fair to speedily become a thing of the past. The number of females thus employed in the neighbourhood of Wigan is 500, most of whom are unmarried. Their ages vary from 12 to 50 ; a few are the widows of colliers. They generally wear a peculiar description of attire, consisting of coarse trousers, resembling those worn by men, fastened by a belt round the waist, a soft bonnet, and a shawl. The petticoats are generally tucked into the trousers. Sometimes they may be seen wearing jackets like the men, smoking, drinking, and behaving as if completely unsexed. It is acknowleged that tho habitual wearing of this costume tends to destroy all sense of decency amongst them, bet it has not been ascer tained that their morals are more lax than those of the generality of females employed in agricultural operations. They naturally belong to a very low class, but in some cases they make good wives and mothers, and many of the younger ones regularly attend, in appropriate female costume, the neigh bouring (Sunday schools ; still ,the system cannot be easily defended. The colliers as a body, are ashamed of it. The labour required of the females is hard and very dirty, rendering their persons and clothing black as coal. They have to assist in re moving the tuba of coal from the cages at the mouth of the pit, sometimes assisting to tip the tube into the coal waggons. Tho work is severe even for men, yet the women appear accustomed to it, and, as a class, seem healthy and robust. The hours of labour are from 6 a.m. to 5 or 6 p.m., including the necessary intervals for breakfast and dinner, but the labour is not always of a very heavy cha racter, the females being frequently employed in picking and cleaning coal, the men using the shovel ; in fact, the females have the cheaper kinds of labour, their wages seldom exceeding ls. 9d. per day, while the men whom they assist receive from 2s. 6d. to 3s. per day. The average price of female labour is ls. 2d. per day. Where the women are married the wages are often spent in drink by the husband ; indeed, there are some men—fortunately a few only—who live absolutely on the earnings of their wives and offspring. One great recommendation, perhaps the only one to be urged, of female labour is its regularity, the women being, as a rule, far more steady and punctual in their habits than are the men. The comforts of home, however, are completely disre garded, unless there be a girl or some one else to look after the house. When the female labourer has a child at the breast, she generally takes it to the pit mouth with her, attending from time to time to its wants according to her opportunities of respite from labour. The appearance of a female pit-worker returning from work is singular, and we are glad to say uncommon out of Wigan. Imagine a stout, robust-looking woman, attired in a pair of men's coarse trousers some times half concealed by a huge crinoline, the upper part of her body covered by a shawl, jacket, or cloak, according to circumstances, a coral necklace round her throat, and a great bonnet, something like a sunshade, on her head. Often she may be seen carrying her pick, spade, and sieve, as if she were a man. As might be expected the habits of the population, of which these women form part, are extremely rough. The colliers are naturally kind, good hearted, patient, and intelligent, but their animal nature has been allowed to become more largely developed than is good for their wel fare. In the many acts of disorder and riotous violence of which Wigan has recently been the scene, we can trace the fruits of neglected education. The men who have the control of the unions are among the most intelli gent and educated of their class, and, to do them justice, hare protested against the unruly conduct of which their followers have been guilty, but the tide of popular passion has become too powerful to be easily stemmed. Not until they find the chances hopelessly against them, their cupboards empty, their families pining for want of food, and their own hearts sinking within them, will the infatuated unionists, we fear, pause in the midst of their mad career to reflect on the irretrievable damage which they are inflicting on their own cause. THE PACKED PARCEL QUESTION. —A 08843 of some interest to tho public, in which the vexed question of " packed parcels" was involved, was disposed of at the Sheriff Small Debt Court Glasgow, on Wednesday, before Sheriff CampbelL Mr. H. Christie,'tobacco manufacturer, Nicolaonequare, sued the North British Railway Com pany for the sum of 4e. 3d., which the pursuer con sidered an overcharge on a parcel of manufactured to bacco which he had sent to Aberdeen. Mr. Wood, who conducted the case on behalf of the railway com pany, said that the pursuer bad been in the habit of sending a number of small parcels of manufac tured tobacco addressed to different persons in one package addressed to his agent, who distributed them. The railway company, considering that this was not fair, issued a by-law on the 31st March, to the effect that packed parcels sent to agents would, on and after the Ist April, be charged double fifth-class rate. The pur suer, he said, had sent a parcel on the 3rd current to Aberdeen, for which he was charged fie , while by the powers conferred by the North British Railway Consolida tion Act, Beig, the company could have charged the pursuer in all not less than 13s. 4d. for the conveyance of this kage. Mr. Christie admitted that the contents of the package were of the description stated by Mr. Todd, but stated that, while he made that admission, he did not consider the railway company had any right to ask the question or to expect an answer, as he thought that, when a merchant truly declared the contents of his packages, the railway company bad no business to make further inquiry. He maintained that the clauses of the different acts of parliament quoted by Mr. Wood did not apply to this case as the real question atlases appeared to be whether the railway company, as common carriers, having a rate for manufactured tobacco, and admittedly that rate being 20.. per ton from Edinburgh to Aberdeen, could charge Ms. per ton for the same class of goods for the same distance, on the plea that the package contained packed parcels. Mr. Wood said that, as the present was • case that would affect the whole of Bootland, he thought that it should not be derided in • summary manner before that court, and submitted that it should be tried in the Court of Session. The Sheriff thought the pursuer was entitled to the remedy he asked, and in • very lucid and carefully prepared judgment, in which he gave the grounds of his decision, decerned against the railway company for the sum sued for, with court expenses. Mr. Wood accepted the judgment on behalf of the railway company, and intimated, amid laughter, that it was exactly in accordance with a decision that had been given in the Court of Exchequer, of which he was afraid Mr. Christie migh t have heard..

Ins sehetaime sf the renewing appeared in the late editions of yesterday's Express.) The jury retired at ten minutes past five, and returned into sours after • deliberation of twenty minutes with a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. Mr. Avery, the clerk of the court, then put the usual question to the prisoners, whether they bad anything to say vhLjo.dgment shoul d he parsed upon them accord inib to r irke w (in • drawling and affected tone)—l have a few brief remarks to make if I am permitted to make them. Baron Bramwell—You are entitled by law to state any thing you think proper why judgment should not be peened upon you. Burke—Then ' u • preliminary to the observations I have to make I wish to say that since the period of my arrest, and since I have been confined in various prisons, at Bow-streut, the House of Detention, Newgate, War wick gaol, the King-street station-house, and other places, I have received from all the of fi cials, from the governor down to the lowest warder, the most unvarying kindness, and I desire to record my gratitude to those gentlemen for such an extension of kindness towards me. I sin not surprised by the verdict which the jury have arrived at, my lord, nor do I desire to impeach it. Under all the circumstances, and considering the evidence that MY brought forward, I could see that twelve reasonable men could arrive at no other conclusion. But there are other points which, with your lordship's permission, I may touch upon without impeaching the verdict. I will not allude to the Atterney.General's conduct towards me during the past week, because be is not pre sent, and I will, therefore, exercise more forbearance towirds him than he used toward. me ; but I will briefly allude to some statements of the Solicitor-General in re ference to my case. The learned gentleman, with his usual ability, has stated that it was not the desire of the Lion to try my case under any shadow of prejudice, C o t sd ir so, I would, ask why.he did not permit my ease to be taken before that of the prisoners charged with causing the Clerkenwell explosion, although my attorney laid an affidavit before him distinctly stating that my case would he bitterly prejudiced if the Clerkenwcll case was brought on before mine. No prejudice ! It has been most hein ously prejudiced. Baron Bramwell (interrupting)—You have no right to make the observations you are now making. What you are entitled to is to take an objection on any point of law. Burke—l am bound to defend my own character. Baron Bramwell—You have no right to do that now. Burke—Will the law sanction it to be assailed with out-- _ . Baron Bramwell—You cannot do it now. Burke—Will you tell me when I may do so? Baron Bramwell—lt is not ruj duty to tell you. Burke—l will take your opinion on the matter. Baron Bramwell (proceeding to pass sentence) said—l have informed myself what would be the proper punish ment to pass upon you both, and I have done so without taking into consideration at all the other case. Burke—Pardon me, my lord, I understand you to con sider that I have finished. I had concluded my remarks on that point, but I have something else to say. Baron Bramwell repeated that he could only urge objec tions in law to judgment being pronounced upon him. He must accept the verdict of the jury as find. Burke then said that at the commencement he was introduced as en alien, and his counsel proposed to put his passport in as evidence to prove that fact. He had produced that pau r rt, and it had been accepted by the representatives of our or Eve European governments ; but it had been objected to in this country, and the prosecu tion went on to prove that I was a native of Ireland. Did the gentlemen who came to prove that point establish their position? Two militiamen stated that his rela tives heal at Macroom, but he could say that he knew nothing whatever of the locality, and he apprehended the statement they had made was a falsehood. They asserted what they knew was wrong. Baron Bramwell—You are now doing what I told you not to do. I cannot allow you to continue the observa tions you are now making. Burke—Well then, my lord, I will not touch on this matter. Accepting the position that the prosecution have placed me in, that of a subject of her Majesty—e ap posing lam really such, and suppocing that I owe alle giance to her Majesty—that I entirely deny, I contra dict that statement directly—but supposing that it is so in reality, I would still justify the position which the prose cution have placed me in, if your lordship will permit me. My position is a narrow one, and I have no knowledge of the law. It is not necessary for me to justify my conduct, to arraign all the many acts of outrages and wrongs Baron Bramwell (interrupting)—l cannot permit you to do that. All I can permit you to do is to move an arrest of judgment by showing that the proceedings against you are invalid in point of law. Burke—Then I repeat my protest as a soldier of the United States. Baron Bramwell—l will not allow you to make a pro test. Have you done? Burke—No, I have not. I have no desire to act towards your lordship disrespectfully. I have towards your lord ship and the jury every feeling of respect, but I must say that during the progress of this trial your lordship has been acting more as a prosecutor than a judge. Baron Brarn well (in a peremptory tone Silence ! Icannot allow youtogo on. I have borne with you long enough. I have made up my mind that no man who has been lonvided by the lawful tribunals of the country should be afterwards permitted to assail those tribunals, and have apparently all the honours of the contest with him. I think many men have been tempted into commission of crime by the expec tation that they would have an opportunity of making an exciting speech when called up for judgment ; and I think it would he a salutary alteration of the law if men were made to fed that they would have to suffer the punishment of the law without being allowed to do so, and I have determined that that shall be the case with you. I say I have inquired what sentence should passed u n you, and I find that in Ireland, where be they have ha d more experience in these cases than we have in England, the sentence that would probably have been passed upon you for this offence would have been fifteen years' penal servitude ; and that sentence, with the con currence of my learned brother, I now pass upon you. With regard to you, Mullady, who I consider, to some ex tent, the dupe of the other prisoner, tbe sentence upon you will be one of seven years penal servitude. Mullady (in an impueent tone)—But have not I a right to speak? I have not been called upon before you passed sentence. Baron Bramwell—Very well, then I retract my sentence. Mullady—l knew before I came to England what sort of justice an Irishman had to expect. Baron Bramwell—l will not allow you to go on in that way. The sentence upon you is that you be kept in penal servitude for seven years. Mullady—l can do that, and twenty years more, for Old Ireland. The prisoners were then removed amid a scene of great excitement. Mr. Giffard, Q.C., then made an application on behalf of the prosecution that the trial of the prisoner Patrick Mullany for treason-felony should be postponed to the next session. The prisoner was brought up and informed of the appli cation, when be stated that he was very ill, and he should like to have the matter disposed of one way or the other as soon as possible. He was told that the next session would be on Monday, and he then consented to the appli cation, and the court adjourned till Monday next. THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH.--At a special meeting of the Manchester Town Council, yesterday, the mayor (Mr. R. Neill) is the chair, it was resolved, on the motion of Alderman seconded by Alderman Nicholls, and supported by Alderman Heywood " That the following address be and is hereby approved and adopted, that the corporate seal be be affixed thereto, and that the mayor respectfull re queeted to arrange, as pray appear to be d esired, y for the presentation of the same to her Majesty : ' We, the mayor, aldermen, and citizens of the city of Manchester, approach your Majesty with feelings of profound loyalty a nd a ff ection, to express the horror and indignation with which we have heard of the recent atrocious attempt upon the life of his Royal High ness the Duke of Edinburgh whilst on a recent visit to your Majesty's Australian c olonies, and to assure your Majesty of o'er devout thankfulness that it has pleased Divine Providence to overrule the designs of the assassin, and mercifully to preserve the life of a prince who is de servedly beloved of all classes of your Majesty's subjects. We humbly offer to your Majesty our heartfelt sympathy in the anxious solicitude inseparable from so painful an event, and our sincere congratulations on the assurances received that the speedy and perfect recovery of his royal highness may be confidently anticipated.' " Meetings for a similar purpose have been held at Wolverhampton and Gloucester ; and the Marylebone Vestry yesterday agreed to an address to the same purport.

The state of affairs among the colliery operatives of South Lancashire and their employers has at last, as had long been feared, reached a oriels. The failure of the recent attempt+, despite the pre sence of a strong military force, to protect the non unionist workmen from the systematic intimida tion and ill-usage of their unionist brethren on strike, bids fair to terminate iu • general closing of the numerous coalpits in the Wigan district, a result which must inevitably occasion a consider able amount of distress and suffering anion the families of the unemployed colliers. The Wigan district, in which the unhappy dispute originally commenced, embraces an area of some 12 or 13 square miles, the town of Wigan forming the centre thereof. A more dull or unintereat- Mg region can scarcely be imagined. What ever picturesque features the surrounding landscape once possessed have become well nigh obliterated by the rapidly-increasing number of huge cinder-heaps, lofty pit-chimney shafts, and dense clouds of thick black smoke which obscure the atmosphere and imparts a dingy hue to all surrounding objects. Nor is the aspect of Wigan itself particularly , enlivening. The streets possess few architectural attractions, and although places of religious worship abound, the means of social and intellectual recreation appear, so far as the 1 labouring classes are concerned, to be few and far between. But there is no lack of indications of unceasing and productive industry. What \Vigan lacks in the picturesque is amply made up by an abundance of the useful ; it is the beau ideal of an utilitarian town according to popular notions. Everywhere are to be found the unfailing signs of profitable and increasing labour. Cotton and woollen mills, iron works, agricultural implement manufactories, and coal-pits abound in the neigh h.urhood, apparently affording ample means of employment to all who may desire it. The staple industry, however, is coal-mining, in which pursuit several thousands of men and boys find plenty of occupation in ordinary times. About 500 females are also said to be actively engaged at the mouths of the different coal pits. The social con dition of these people lately formed the subject of parliamentary inquiry, when many interesting de tails were elicited respecting the general habits and character of a class whose recent violent de meanour has awakened grave doubts as to the possible maintenance of peace in the neighbour hood of Wigan during the continuance of the pre sent unhappy dispute. It appears that although, in some respects, the condition of the colliers is more encouraging than was the case a few years since, still it is admittedly beset with many difficul ties and hardships, partly self-created, and beyond the reach of mere legislation to remove ; and partly the result of former abuses, the effects of which will require years to dispel. The working life of a collier generally commences about the age of ten or eleven •, but most of the prevent adult male population began at a much earlierdate, say six or seven. This was before the Act of 1860, which prohibited the 'employment of children under ten years of age in coal mines. The number of collier boys between the ages of 10 and 12 engaged in the Wigan district is estimated at 3,a00. Youths and young men of from 13 to 19 years old are also largely employed, the proportions being about 50 or GO boys and young men to every 100 adults. These proportions vary considerably, according to the character of the respective pits. The boys are invariably the offspring of miners, or of per sons connected with the mines, and are employed with the consent—generally in compliance with the entreaties—of the parents. Sometimes, bat not frequently, the boys are procured from the parish. The labour is generally hard, and the hours long, but the rate of remuneration is pro portionately high. The boys, as a rule, are in the mine from 11 to 14 hours at a time, including the intervals for meals, and their labour consists in assisting the pitmen—generally their parents--tn fill the coal tubs, afterwards dragging them, when tilled, into the more open portions of the workings, or to the bottom of the shaft. The tubs, when filled, weigh about seven hundred weight, and sometimes have to be dragged by the lads a distance of 400 or 500 yards. The wages received by the younger boys range from Is. to Is. 4d. per day, the elder lads receiving from Is. Gd. to 2s. Gd. In the cotton factories the operation of the half-time clauses prevents the children earn ing more than 2a. or 2s. 6d. per week ; hence the anxiety of both parents and offspring that the latter should find employment in the coal-pits. Unless they begin early the boys seldum make good colliers. The pit labour, however, often ope rates unfavourably on the physical health of the lads. Numbers, on returning from work, find themselves so terribly fatigued that they have not strength to wash themselves so as to get to bed. A collier lad can inva riably be recognised by his pale, sleepy, and stunted appearance. He resembles a plant which has been growing in a place from whence the light has been carefully excluded. It is asserted that this is not essentially an indication of ill health ; but, on the other hand, it is as stoutly maintained that the scale of mortality—whatever be the cause —among the collier population is extremely high. The greater part, sometimes the whole, of the earn inga obtained by the collier boys goes into the hands of the parents—too often to be recklessly squandered in beer and gin, especially during the Saint Monday holiday, which inevitably succeeds the regular fortnightly pay-day. Habits of improvi dence prevail to a lamentable extent among all sections of the working collier community. The deficiency of educational acquirements is also pain fully apparent, a circumstance which goes far to explain much of the rough and violent be haviour of many of the men during the last few days. It is positively asserted by many who ought to know the truth, that the majority of collier lads can neither read nor write. Certain it is that the educational standard existing among them is ex tremely low ; yet the facilities for procuring cheap and good education are numerous. Mr. Knowles, ex-mayor of Wigan, and an extensive colliery pro prietor, however, states that out of 1,000 men there were only five or six who could not write their own names, and these were chiefly aged per sons. But the signature test is by no means a sound or reliable one. A person may bo able to write his or her name, and yet be perfectly un able to read or write anything else. The number of day schools in Wigan and neighbourhood —within an area of three miles—is 34, the average number of scholars being from 8,000 to 9,000, the average proportion of boys being from 2,500 to 2,700. Most of those day schools are in connection with the established church, and are, as a rule,liberally supported by the colliery proprietors. The various Sunday schools afford an irregular kind of secular education, and are generally well attended. The night schools are the least successful, although their results are en couraging, especially in individual instances. Still, the broad facts remains that children are em ployed in large numbers in the South Lancashire coal mines at an age when they ought to be at school, and that the fault is quite as much with the employed as with the employers. Until recently the demand for boy-labour was greatly in excess of the supply, the results being s gradual increase in the rate of wages received by the lads. At twenty years of age the collier lads begin to bo regarded as men, and receive a higher scale of remuneration accord ingly. The wages are generally paid direct to the men by the employers, the truck-system being all but unknown in Wigan. The rate of wages, according to the men, is from sa. to 6e. per day ; according to the employers, it is from se. Gd. to Ga. Gd. or 7s. per day. This is considerably in excess of the wages received by the Belgian miners, who seldom earn more than 2a. 6d. or 3s. per day. The men are paid by piece -work, and the majority of disputes between them and their employers arise out of disagreements as to the manner in which the coals are measured, the present system being eminently unsatisfactory. The great body of the colliers are na tives of Lancashire, the intermixture of la bourers from other districts being compa ratively small, the Scotch elements being wholly absent. They mostly reside at some DARING ESCAPE FROM A RAILWAY CARRIAGE. - - - - - A young fellow who bad been apprehended at Reading for felony was on Wednesday last removed by railway to Wokingham, foe examinationlibefore the bench of magis trates acting for that division of the county in which the offenoe was committed. The cue was heard, and the magistrates sentenced the laccused to three months' im prisonment in Reading gaol. Shortly afterwards he was handcuffed and taken back to the railway station in charge of a constable, and the two took their seats for Reading. While the train was proceeding at a good speed beyond Earley and Reading, the prisoner with great daring contrived to leap through the carriage window. It did not appear that be was hurt in the least degree, as he was observed making o ff when the occupants of the compartment looked out of the carriage window, and he succeeded in effecting his purpose, as he has not yet been rempteed.
