Statue of the Late Prince Consort at Manchester: The inauguration of the statue of the late Prince Consort erected in the centre of Albert-square, Manchester, took place yesterday. A committee was appointed to undertake the work in January, 1862, and the offer of the then Mayor (Mr. Goadsby) to present a marble statue, on condition of the city affording a suitable site and finding money for a pedestal and covering, was accepted. The statue, which is by Mr. Noble, of London, and is of Sicilian marble 9ft. high, representing the Prince in the robes of the Order of the Garter, has been completed some time. The memorial building in whieh the statue is placed, and the rich Gothic canopy over it, were designed by Mr. Worthington, of Manchester. The report presented to the committee yesterday describes the work as follows : The memorial building is raised sft. above the surface of the street, on granite steps, occupying a square of 35ft. Tho base of the structure is 20ft. square, and 15ft. Gin. to the platform, on which the pedestal, which is Gft., stands. The entire height from the pavement to the summit of the vane is 80ft. Four open arches above the basement support a grand canopy, forming a shrine, in the centre of which, on a pedestal of coloured polished granite, stands the statue. The four arches are surmounted by lofty gables, and the ex ternal angles are abutted by four square piers or buttresses rising in solid masonry to the level of the springing of the great arches, above which level they disengage themselves, and rise up as detached and elaborately enrichedpinnacles, I illustrating subjects in which the late Prince Consort took active and practical interest. Each pinnacle has two stages above the springing of the arches, the upper stage being an open canopy supported on polished granite shafts; these four canopies contain figures of Art, Science, Agriculture, and Commerce. Art is supported by Music, Sculpture, Painting, and Architecture; Science by Astronomy, Me chanics, Chemistry, and Geometry; Agriculture by Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter; and Commerce by Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. Tho four great gables contain a circular open panel enriched, and in the three triangular spandrils are medallions containing 12 heads, representa tive of Art and Science—Michael Angelo, 'Wren, Inigo Jones, Raphael, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Goethe, Schiller, Milton, Shakspere, Tasso, and Dante. On the summits of the four gables are winged angels, holding gilt trumpets; the spire is banded with polished grey granite, and the shafts of the main archway are of the same material. The pedestal supporting the statue is of grey granite, with the simple inscription "Albert" on the south side. On the centre of the piers or buttresses are shields carved in stone re presenting the arms of England quartered with those of Saxony differenced with the late Prince Consort's own label of three points argent, charged in the central point gules, alternated with the simple arms of Saxony emblazoned with foliated bands and arched coronet on a field berry of ten, or and sable. Each shield is sur mounted by the peculiar coronet of the late Prince, which differs from the Imperial Crown in having eight instead of four arches, rising from strawberry leaves and curved. Each shield is encircled by the garter with the usual motto, and below, on a label, is the motto, " Treu and fest." These armorials are repeated in the eight angle panels of the basement, and on the intermediate panels (of which there are five) are carved the various crests of the Prince. The memorial is enclosed by a rich and elaborate wrought iron railing or grille, by Skidmore and Co. of Coventry. The angles are encircled by gilt foliated finials, and shields engraved with the arms are placed at intervals along the cornice at the railings, a central one bearing the full quartered arms emblazoned in colours. The memo rial bears the following inscription round the base :—" In grateful acknowledgment of public and private virtues, Albert, Prince of Saxe-Cobourg and Gotha, Consort of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, erected by the inhabitants of Manchester, A.D. 1866. The statue was presented to his fellow citizens by Thomas Goadsby, Mayor of Man chester, 1861-2." The total cost of the memorial, exclusive of the statue, has been £6,249155. 4d. The ceremony of inauguration was exceedingly brief and simple. The committee met at the Town-hall at 1 o'clock, when Mrs. Goadsby, widow of the late Mayor, read a few lines formally presenting the statue on behalf of her late husband to the Mayor and corporation. The committee and other gentlemen then went in procession to a temporary building fronting the southern face of the statue, and Dr. Fairbairn, C.E., road an address of inaugu ration. The statue was then unveiled in'the presence of a concourse of many thousand people, who cheered lustily. Mr. Baines, M.P., and Mr. Beecroft, M.P. On Wednesday last the annual meeting of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce was held in the Town-hall, the chair being occupied by Mr. Darnton Lupton, president of the association. The two members for the borough, Messrs. Baines and Beecroft, were present. Avery lengthy and ex haustive report of the proceedings of the Chamber during the past year having been read, the chair man called upon several gentlemen to speak upon special subjects with which they had made them selves thoroughly acquainted. Mr. Lister thus re marked upon the success which had attended the efforts of the Chamber to prevent our English ma chinery from being subjected to foreign taxation ; Mr. Ludolf spoke in favour of the establishment of tribunals of commerce, showing that they could be worked economically, and that their decisions were almost always respected in towns where such tribu nals were established ; Mr. Wurtzburgh urged that the late monetary crisis had practically tested the inefficiency and incompleteness of the Bank Charter Act ; and Mr. J. Jowitt contended that not only should the names of shareholders in limited liability companies be published, but also the exact number of shares they held in those concerns. Mr. Beecroft, M.P., confined his remarks altogether to the mone tary crisis of last year, saying that in 1866 the country had been overtaken by a most disastrous financial panic. Panics of this character appeared to occur at intervals, but the one of last year recur red at a shorter period than the average of such crises, and the explosion fell upon us with the greater suddenness. The consequence was that it was at tended with results of a more ruinous character than had been the case for a long period, for it was most unexampled in intensity and in duration. He consi dered that the late crisis certainly presented itself as a proper subject for investigation, and it was an in quiry of the greatest importance in its character. lts operating causes ought to be ascertained and traced, so that they might be able, from past experience, to try if they could not prevent such widespread mis chief in future. He would impress upon their com mon sense the universal importance of the subject, and urge upon them the iaecessityofth. orefmosdtirsectrtilcyt investigation into this important matter; as regarded affected The refore the it investing was tbat theori n w d ibroelcetly nation,, the h w o e l r e e c o a ir l ni affected eil by the u f i n r y o t . touchedg a r d d thelabour, labourer but a It s af regarded fecteds capitalnot only also. as publicwe l a a n s d the e employer . irinves tm en l ts t some information ought to be obtained about our public companies — w ho were their ori g in ators , who were their shareholders, and who were their direc tors. The inquiry also affected our circulating medium, our credit, our banks, and other institu tions. He thought the work would be a proper work to be done by each local Chamber of Com merce, but it would be still better if it could be undertaken by an inferior Chamber of Commerce, directed and supported by each local Chamber. The matter ought also to be ventilated in Parliament; but by whoever the work was done, and when, he only trusted that it would be thoroughly accom plished and impartially conducted. The unfortu nate Bank Charter Act might have had a little to do with the panic, but it was only one of the causes therein, and ought not to be made the scapegoat to bear all the blame of the financial disaster of 1866. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Baines, M.P., after some pre fatory observations, said the evidence in favour of the success of the Tribunals of Commerce in other countries was so strong that he should certainly feel inclined to give them a trial in England.

Breeding Establishments and Stud Farms in France. The llamas de la Celle, St. Cloud (M. Schickler's), though of small extent in comparison with many others in the north of France, is yearly increasing in importance, as the owner spares no expense in selecting the best breeding blood to be obtained. It is within easy reach of Paris, and it is a very pleasant drive through the Bois de Boulogne and St. Cloud, a route which is often preferred by the owner when he visits it, the distance from Paris being about 12 miles on the Versailles road. It may also be reached from Paris from the station St. Lazare to Rueil (about half an hour's journey), where the American tram way omnibus meets the train, and takes passengers via Malmaison and Bougival, from which latter place the haras is about two miles and a half distant. On the road between Rueil and Malmaison is passed the chateau, formerly occu pied by the Empress Josephine, and on reaching Bougwal the line runs close to the river Seine, which, notwith standing the frost in the country, is now rising every day. Previous to coming to this haras M. Schickler had expended much money and trouble on his pad docks at Choisy le Rol. On the death of M. I'escatore, the proprietor of this land, it was occupied for a short time by Baron Niviere, and in 1862 M. Schickler removed his breeding stud there, having rented the ground from the widow. The paddocks are on a small scale, being about only 70 acres in extent, but the land is well situated, and a brook of clear running water flows through the centre, which is never dry in summer ; troughs are placed in each paddock which are daily re plenished from this source. Great credit is due to the stud groom, Dorman, for the appearance of the stock under his charge, on which he bestows every care and attention; he lived for 25 years with the late Sir Gilbert Heathcote, and during the last seven years acted in the capacity of stud groom to that gentleman ; ho has been for seven years with M. Schickler, who has the greatest confidence in his judgment and abilities. This establishment consists of 22 brood mares, 11 yearlings, and 3 stallions. The follow ing is a description of the stallions;—Argonaut, by Stock well, out of Aphrodite, bred in England 1861; Nabob, by the Nob, out of Hester, bred in England 1850 ; Martel en Tete, by Surplice, out of Gabble, bred by M. Schickler in 1855. Argonaut is a bay, with two white hind heels. He stands full 16 hands high, and may be correctly termed a short-legged lengthy horse, showing more than ordinary quality. He has a good head well set on to a clean neck, and his shoulders are well made. He has a good back and loins, powerful muscular quarters and thighs, broad hips, and good hocks. This horse has only recently been im ported into France, and will cover this season 20 mares, besides those of his owner, at 20 sovs each, and from his blood and appearance is well worth the attention of breeders. Nabob is now 17 years old, and looks remarkably fresh and well. He is a black horse, and stands about 16 hands 2 inches high ; ho has a beautiful blood-like 1. as 1 and neck well sot on, good arms, good back, and very powerful quarters, in which latter particular his stock very much resemble him. Martel en Tete is bay, standing about 15 hands 2 inches, with good back and loins, and a very com pact frame on short legs. Ho will be located at this hares for the ensuing season at 4 soya each mare. Out of the 22 brood mares 16 are in foal ; but, as will be soon from the table below, several of thorn are more than twenty years old, and might well be dispensed with, but M. Schickler does not like to part with old favourites. In the first paddock I noticed Bravery and Grande Mademoiselle. The former is a particularly nice, short legged useful mare ; Grande Mademoiselle is a good-sized lengthy chesnut mare, and is now barren to Monarque. Adjoining this paddock was the most valuable mare in the stud, 'viz., Villafranca, by Monarque, out of Miss Gladia tor, own sister to Gladiateur ; she is a very even-shaped mare, and is much improved since last year. She was claimed by M. Schickler in a selling race at Chantilly, in 1864, for 600 sows, from Count de Lagrange; she only won two races for her new owner, viz., the Prix de l'Ete of 216 sovs, at Paris June ; and a prix principal of 100 soya, at Angers, the same month. Shortly after this she unfortu nately broke her fetlock joint at exercise at Chantilly, but has sufficiently recovered to be used for stud purposes, and is now certainly one of the most valuable brood mares on the Continent, and is flaw in foal to Nabob. Running with the latter was Paqueline, a very well-bred mare, combining the Baron and Melbou rne stra i n, an d h er d am , L a dy Fal coner, is out of Lady L ure well, by Hornsea, G a bbl e, now 22 years old, the dam of Martel en Tote, Charles Quint, and Charles Martel, is still a picture to look at ; she is not in foal. Moorhen is a grey mare, by Chanticleer, now in foal to Nabob ; she is a good-looking roomy mare, and has very much improved in appearance. M. Schickler has a very good-looking two-year-old grey filly, by Stockwell out of this mare, now in training at Chantilly, entered in the Eng lish Oaks, called Jung F rau. Vivace, b y V o lti geur, i s a n i c e clean-made mare, b u t all her stoc k are nervous ; s h e is now in foal to Stentor ; s h e i s the d am o f P r i nce R egen t , winner of nine races last year. Another good-looking, well-bred mare deserving of notice is Volatile, by Volti geur—Comfit, by Sweetmeat, who combines staying blood on the sire's side, and has the Sweetmeat strain on the dam's side. Kiss Me Not (Germanique's dam) is a good sized, lengthy mare, and is now in foal to Martel en Tete. Poudriere is one of the best-looking of the young mares ; she is a nice, clean, wiry mare, and is in foal to Stentor ; when in training this mare was singularly unfortunate in running second to good horses, viz., second to Bois Roussel in the Poule des Produits, at Paris; second tonne do l'Air in the French Oaks at Chan tilly; and second to Stradella at Paris. In concluding the description of the mares I may mention the Plenipo mare (Epaminondas's dam), now 23 years old, as looking very fresh and well, The following table will show the age and pedigree of the brood mares:— Foaled in Gabble, by Venison (the dam of Martel en Tete, Charles Martel, and Charles Quint) ... ... 1845 Mare by Plenipo (Eparainondas's darn), her dam Minima, by Rowton ; bred in England by Mr. Ford (in foal to Martel en Tote)... ... 1844 Velours, by Muley Moloch—Ze nana ; b re d in Voltigeur— 1845 Glby Cotherstone— Kalmia (in foal to Martel en Tete) 1846 Dolly V radon, by Muley Moloch—Pocahontas ; Eaunegalan(Cdollinmgwood's. dam),••• ••—• bred in England (in foal to Martel en Tete) 1846 g b e y nt's sh d e tt e m t ), by Anchor; bred in V i L v u a c c e y (Prince Das England by Mr. R.

This is a flue powerful colt, with good back and loins, and likely to grow into a very fine horse ; also a black colt by Nabob —Volatile, showing a good deal of bona and quality. Of the fillies I much preferred a bay filly by Palestro—Grande Mademoiselle—a good-topped lengthy filly, with two white hind heels ; also a bay filly by Nabob —Moorhen, a good size, with good arms and very powerful ; and ahr filly by West Australian—Vivace ; this was a late foal, but very neat, although rather small. The yearlings, as a lot, were much bettor than those of last year, and were looking in very good condition, and it is to be hoped next year they will be more fortunate for M. Schickler, who has a large training stable at Chantilly, varying from 20 to 30 korses, under the care of hisprivate trainer, J. Bains. This stable was singularly unfortunate last season, having won nothing to speak of till the close of the year at Marseilles, when Germanique carried off the two ptincipal,races. There is not a more careful and industrious trainer than J. Bains at Chantilly, and some of the two-year-olds now in training under his charge may repay him for his carp and past dis appointments. Having now concluded the description of this establishment, I may mention that within five minutes' walk of this haras is the farm of Belebat, the property of Madame Pescatore, and now occupied by M. Riviere, whore stands Florin, the sire of Florentin, winner of the French Derby last year. Florin is a chestnut, by Surplice, out of Payment, standing about 15 hands 21 inches high, with very good back and loins, and capital quarters. Football Match. ETON AND HARROW T. THE WORLD. Yesterday this great match was played at Vincent-square, Westminster. Tho first match was played about a fort night since, and, as our readers aro aware, resulted in a draw, two " goals each being obtained by the two sides. On that occasion the ground was in a bad state, but yester day it was much worse, owing to the thaw which sot in on Tuesday night. Precisely at a quarter to three the 15 players—eight for Eton and Harrow and seven for the " World"—emerged from the Lodge. Each player wore flannel trousers, and with one or two exceptions had no covering over their shirts. A finer body of young fellows could hardly be imagined ; and as they, one by one, jumped lightly on to the ground to take up their position at the goals their ap pearance was greatly admired. Play commenced at three o'clock, and the ball, being once set in motion, the players began to warm to their work. It had not long commenced, however, before the treacherous state of the ground made itself manifest by the constant falls which happened to the players. First one, and then two together, in their attempts to get the ball towards the goal, came to grief, being smothered with black mud, and one gentleman, receiving the full force of the ball, which had boon kicked but a short distance off hits, in his face, presented a very novel aspect, one side of his face being made black. He bore the blow, however, without flinching, and apparently unconcerned, joined im mediately with the others in following up the ball. For about a quarter of an hour the game was thus continued, when Mr. J. A. Foote, a young Carthusian, playing for the World, by a splendid piece of strategy, nearly scored a goal 'for his side, the ball going within about half a yard of the lists. Play was again resumed, and the Etonians and Har rovians strove hard to gain the first of the honours of the day, but they were evidently overmatched by the World, who gained the first goal by a well-directed kick of Mr. M. Muir-Mackenzie, who, with his brother, Mr. K. Muir- Mackenzie, played remarkably well. The game now became most exciting, the public schools striving most energetically to get to the front, and. to their credit it must be said nearly on two occasions making a goal. The Carthusians and the Mackenzie's were, however, again too much for them, and after some splendid play, notwith standing the opposition at the goal Mr. J. A. Foote, the young player already mentioned, secured the second goal for the World. The game was now virtually over, but the schools again tried hard to retrieve their fortunes, and when "time" was called at twenty minutes past 4 the game stood thus— The World 2 goals. Eton and Harrow ... 0 The following were the sides:— The World.--J. Kirkpatrick, Civil Service ;J. Butler, Carthusian ; K. Muir-Mackenzie, 11. Muir-Mackenzie, C. B. Nepean, Carthusian ; E. C. S.

Naval and Military Intelligence. ,p. ___ The iron and wood double-screw armour-plated gunboat Vixen, 4, now in the basin at Devonport dockyard, and which was put in commission only in Sept. last by Commander Spencer P. Brett, is to be put out of commission immediately. She is 740 tons burden, and has engines of 160-horse power. The officers and men, with the exception of the chief engineer, Mr. Treliving, are to be transferred to the screw steam sloop Vestal, 4, which has a burden of 1,081 tons, and has engines of 300-horse power. The cause assigned for this sudden change is the alleged unseaworthiness of the Vixen. It appears that she left Plymouth on Mon day, Dec. 31, for Queenstown, and arrived at Fal mouth the same evening. She started again on Tuesday morning, and between 11 and 12 o'clock that night encountered a severe squall, which car ried away two of her five boats, stove in a third, and swept the decks. She bore up for Falmouth, but laboured so heavily in the trough of the sea, and became so wet, that it was necessary to close all the fore hatchways. The after-hatches were opened at intervals to let air into the stokehole, where the men were occasionally up to their ankles in water Her double engines worked efficiently throughout. Through thenecessity of keeping the forward hatch ways closed, the men were without cooked provi sions from tea time on Tuesday until Wednesday evening, when she arrived at Falmouth. Here the weather detained her several days, but she returned to Plymouth unassisted by the Medusa, which was sent down to tow her. Many naval officers ex pressed surprise that a ship of the Vixen's class was sent across the Irish Sea, especially at such a season, and with a falling barometer. This sur prise is much increased by her appearance as she now lies in the basin equipped, stored, and provi sioned for the Atlantic service. It appears that she car ries two 6f-ton guns, and that her armour-plates are as thick as those of the Warrior. To sustain these weights she has a broad, flat bottom, and to qualify her for river or harbour service, for which it is said she was built, her draught is only Bft. It is, how ever, satisfactory to know that, notwithstanding the severe storms she encountered on the Ist and 2d inst., when other vessels in the same locality were totally lost, the injuries sustained by the Vixen are not very extensive, the hull, spars, rigging, and engines being intact. None of the crew were in jured. Two days before her departure from Ply mouth her guns were tested outside the breakwater with full charges of powder. Although there was much sea on, capital practice was made at 1,200 and 1,400 yards, and the decks remained perfect. The guns fire over long lengths of poop and forecastle, and it is found that the carriages are much too low, especially for close quarters. Her double screw, by which she can readily turn on a pivot, was found advantageous at gun practice and in the Irish Sea. The Vixen was inspected on Tuesday morning by Admiral Superintendent the Hon. James R. Drum mond, who was accompanied by Admiral Hastings R. Yelverton. Mr. Barnaby, assistant constructor, from the department of the Controller of the Navy, is making some scientific observations regarding the weights, the centre of gravity, and the capabilities of the ship. The Colonelcy of the 64th Regiment is vacant by the death, on Saturday last, of Gen. Sir James Freeth, K.C.8., K. 11., at the age of 81. He entered the army as Ensign in the Royal Staff Corps (at tached to the Quartermaster -General's Department) on the 25th of December, 1806, and obtained his promotion, in the same corps, as Lieut., the 30th of May, 1809 ; Capt., the 21st of April, 1814 ; Brevet- , Major, the 21st of Jan., 1819 ; and Brevet Lieut.- Col., the 11th of July, 1826. He was appointed a QuarterMaster-General at head-quarters on the , 11th of July, 1826, and was placed on half-pay, on the reduction of the Staff Corps, on the 25th of Jan., 1830, He was nominated K.II. in 1833, appointed Brevet-Col the 23d of Nov., 1841 ; Major-Gen., the 11th of November, 1851 ; and on the death of Sir Willoughby Gordon he was promoted to Quarter master-General, which post he held till December, when he was succeeded by Major-Gen. Sir Richard Airey, K.C.B. Gen.

With respect to the Alabama business, he (Mr. Baines) confessed he always thought Lord Russell committed a sin gular and strange mistake in supposing the hon- . our of this country was involved in the ques tion. He did not believe the claim called in question our sincerity, but it might call in question our care, and ask whether we had acted with sufficient vigilance in the matter. He was heartily glad, therefore, to learn that this difficult question bad been amicably arranged. And that led him to inquire why in matters of this grave importance the principle of arbitration should not be generally employed. It was so at the close of the Crimean war, and if they hoped to see a reasonable limitation of those vast armies and armaments and other means of defence which they saw around them it must be by means of arbitration. There was next the proposed Courts of Conciliation—courts to arbitrate between masters and workmen, with the object of preventing strikes. He had no practical means of knowing how these courts practically worked, but he had heard favour able reports of the success of their intervention. He should think it would be highly desirable to try the experiment, after the instance of settling disputes which had been quoted at the Bradford meeting ; and if we could 'by any amicable mode meet these cases and thus prevent strikes it would be an un speakable advantage to this country. (Hear.) As to the Bankruptcy Law reform, he thought that if the present Attorney-General would only take up Sir Roundell Palmer's measure, and propose it for the adoption of the house, the country would be inclined to support it: What was a most singular thing to notice about the late monetary crisis was, that though its effects lasted more than three months (while the crisis itself only extended over three weeks), England was all the time engaged in trans acting a large foreign trade. His impression was that the principle of the Bank Charter Act was sound, for it went to the one essentially important point of securing the convertibility of the note. The bank note was exchangeable for gold, and the Bank itself issued notes for the gold it had because it knew it was always liable to give golf for its notes, hence it was always prepared to do so. His impres sion was that a great number of the members of the Bank Charter Commission, which Commission sat in 1858 and 1859, were in favour of the principle of the Bank Charter Act. Mr. Baines concluded by referring to our unexampled exportatioas during last year, and also to the extraordinary elasticity of American finance and resources, as testified by the civil and commercial history of that great country since the conclusion of the war. After several re marks had been made by Mr. Staples on the pre sent unsatisfactory state of the operation of the Bankruptcy Law and on differential bonding duties (as between inland and maritime towns), the two borough members were thanked for their attendance and speeches, and the proceedings then terminated. Ai niecs, •:.V .l - 41T r STATE OF TRADE. BELFAST, Jan. 22.—The supplies of flax in the various markets during the past week were considerably larger than were those of the week preceding. The demand for all de scriptions continues very animated. No change of import ance has taken place in prices. For yarns the demand con tinues very languid; prices unchanged; stocks increasing. Were spinners to submit to a slight reduction in prices a considerable amount of business would be the result. There is little demand for linens (brown), power-loom, except for printing lawns and the finer sets of light linens.and roughs, which are in good request, at full rates. Soma de scriptions of goods have a slightly downward tendency. Hand-loom light linens, printing lawns, diapers, and da masks are in fair demand, at full races. Heavy linens, linen handkerchiefs, and drills are not in active request, prices of which remain unchanged. The demand is dull for cloth for dyeing and Hollands and cambric handker chiefs, which might be bought at slightly reduced rates. In bleached and finished linen the home trade is inactive. American and continental advices unfavourable. Stocks generally very small, especially those of light linens. NOTTINGHAM, 23d.—In the hosiery business the home trade for spring orders remains quiet, but there is an in creased demand for winter goods, owing to the extreme severity of the weather. The foreign trade is not quite so active as it has been. In yarns there is a decidedly down ward tendency, some houses asking ls. per 101 b. bundle less than last week. Generally speaking, the hands are well employed, although some of them have not fullworlr. The lace trade is steady, but quite the usual amount of business doing for the time of year. There are a few or ders in from Germany and New York. Industrial Pilsen Labour. Last evening a meeting was hold at the Lambeth Baths to promote an extension of remunerative prison labour in lieu of the present non-productive system. There was a numerous attendance notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. On the platform were several gentlemen officially connected with the Management of criminals, amongst whom were Mr. Young, Superintendent of Con victs for the Perth District of Western Australia, and Mr. Chas. Measor, late Deputy-Governor of Chatham Convict Prison. Mr. MURPHY proposed the following resolution, which was carried unanimously;—" That it is highly important to render our prisons more definitely reformatory and per manently corrective than they are at present, and that this is mainly to be effected by encouraging habits of useful in dustry, calculated to be practically available by the inmates after their discharge." Mr. Murphy gave some interesting particulars to show that most criminals are rendered such by their gross ignorance, their neglected training, and severe temptations. Less than 5 per cent. of them are able to read and write well ; and it is found that the groat bulk of our prisoners are from the labouring classes, domestic servants, the destitute, paupers, and vagrants. It is not enough that we shut up criminals safely when they commit offences, but we should take into special account what will be likely to happen when they are set at liberty again, as, sooner or later, they must be. For this liberty they must be better qualified than heretofore. Lot them be taught some useful trade, some practical occupation by which they can really earn an honest living afterwards.

Mr. W. TALLACK, secretary to the Howard Asso ciation, 5, Bishopsgate-street-witkout, described the suc cessful operation of the industrial treatment of prisoners in Ireland, Belgium, Switzerland, France, and America, where, in general, they were given " task-work" or "piece-work," and allowed to have from one-tenth to one sixth part of their earnings for their support at discharge, or for their families. It was found that each training greatly lessened expenses, and also the number of re-com mittals, by the removal of temptations to relapse into crime. Mr. Tallack spoke highly of the humanity and assiduity of many of the prison grovernors and visiting magistrates of this country; but he considered that there must neverthe less bo a radical error in our criminal treatment when it resulted, as it does at present, in so little real reformation, ey. whilst costing the hnafaEttßti trainedoe But s u tot, their theante onionrdre greatmi dxneitodusucueshhs addressed iruygmnes.wa majorityhno which t he m h f eowyne ill servo e e nr r As a‘ vi them nfeo l er i dgarroters, . deterrenttreatment.a E tt s 'o s inv t e i p ebf a en . e d -t the meeting.

D KSTRUCTION OF AN OBSERVATORY.—On Sunday apparently in last the observatory connected with St. Gregory's College, Downside, near Bath, was totally destroyed by fire. It originated. the heating apparatus, which kindled the joists of the ground floor ; the flames, which caught some stuffed bi r d s an d o th er na t ura l hi s t ory speci mens in the museum kept in the lower room, were rapidly communicated to the equatorial room above, in which was a magnificent refracting telescope of 15 inches diameter and 20 foet focal length. The observing stages formed capital fuel for the fire, and in less than au hour the whole was ono mass of flame, leaving no possibility of rescuing anything. The loss of the glass and astronomical plant attached to the telescope is the more unfortunate as the observatory had only just been placed in full working or der. The loss to the college of the antiquities, curiosities, and natural history collections in the museum can not be estimated, for they contained many uniqu e and invaluable specimens, and were the result of 50 years' accumulation.
