And, lastly, you will remember that one charge against me is, that, in accordance with this rule, on a Sabbath day I objected to the use of one of Hannah More's Tales, a mere story book of amusement, being read instead of the Bible, though it was quite clear I was then acting within the com pass of my duty, as here prescribed. " Every such chaplain shall, on every Sunday, and on Christmas Day, and Good Friday, perform the appointed morning and evening services of the Church of England." This I have always done, under the sanction of the bishop of the diocese, and in accordance with the legal opinion of the town-clerk as I trust I have already clearly proved. " And shall preach at such time or times, between the hours of nine and five of the day, as shall be required by the rules and regulations to be made as directed by this act." Having had no rules laid before me, I have taken the ex treme, and preached twice on every Sunday. Not a word, gentlemen, hitherto as to preaching every day of the week, as I have constantly done. " And shall catechise or instruct such prisoners as may be willing to receive instruction." This rule I have alwaYS religiously observed. Never has a prisoner or an officer sought my instruction Without receiv ing the best aid I could render him. Mr. Eacheldor, when, as he thought, on a dying bed, five or six months since, sought my instruction. Notwithstanding all my vileness, he unbosomed his'soul to me. Notwithstanding his conviction that my life ought (if his present thoughts be just) to have been designated a continuing lie, he sought, earnestly sought, the benefit, and, as he then felt, the comfort of those ex temporaneous prayers, which have for so long a period led him to doubt my orthodoxy. A dying bed, gentleman, un folds the real secrets of the heart : it unfolds a man's real belief of character far more effectually than evidence taken on oath, when the mind is under the government of impetu ous and angry passions. I hope, gentlemen, most truly that each one of you may, when pressing a dying pillow, experience that Sweet tranquil lity and support which will,. I believe, be mine when, under similar circumstances, having all these, my supposed offences, before my eyes, with a conscience void of offence to God and man, I shall breathe my departing spirit into the hand of him who gave it. The regulation proceeds— " And shall likewise visit the prison on such other days, and perform such other duties as shall be required by the rules and regulations." _ _ What duty, under this part of the act, have I neglected ? None is pretended. Nay, have I not pressed, beyond per haps what was deemed proper, to be entrusted with the real and effectual superintendence of the schools ? a duty in which I should gladly have exerted my energies: but you declined. It was, I might almost say ungenerous, in the inspector of prisons, knowing my intense anxiety and desires on this sub ject, to endeavour to elicit, by evidence, that I did not teach, did not examine the children habitually, when he well knew that I should have been acting without orders, nay, in spirit contrary to orders, if I had so demeaned myself. " And shall administer the holy sacrament of the Lord's supper to such prisoners as shall be desirous, and as such chaplain may deem to be in a proper frame of mind to receive the same." • My explanation on this subject, given to you in answer to questions proposed by Captain Williams, has been well bruit ed about the prison, and is in reality at the foundation of that extremely bitter feeling which now prevails against me ; and yet, as you know, my reply was strictly in accordance with this law, as has been my practice. _ " And such chaplain also 'shall frequently visit every room or cell in the prison occupied by prisoners." What may be the legal extent of the word frequently I do not pretend to know. One male turnkey, (Gillet) the only one who was asked the question, as to the frequency of my visits, told you that they were sometimes every day, .some times thrice or four times a week. Now, gentlemen, whilst his opportunity for judging only extended to one landing, (there being six distinct wards, with three landings on each,) and no motive I suppose can be assigned, why I should visit his particular' department more frequently than any other; surely, I must have come up to the magic quantity of visiting through wards, workrooms, and cells, which the word " frequently" means. Gillet also told you, that many pri soners speak to me, one by. one, in a cell ; and that each of such conversations occupied from five to ten minutes. He told. you the truth, when he said, he had known me to be thus occupied for two hours, i. e. in one of four wards. Miss ‘Davis tells you, that I 'do not very frequently go thrOugh her workrooms, nor on an average occupy more than half an hour ; she, however, supplies you with a very sensible reason. " There are not manyfernales who wish to speak with Dr. Buck in private." The routine is, to walk through the different landings and workrooms ; wait a few moments to ascertain if any female wish my assistance ; and then to depiirt - half ari hour on an average might be suffi cient, though I believe had a watch been looked to,. more time must have been alloived,'hi. the 'niere' walking through the lantlirts, and'idoking into-the' differet&cells;' could not be accotnilli,shed 'within suth narrovr The , governor in 7 rhy presence.told you that'll 6 could not nnike'44B'requilred daily visits theough the prison under three houtsr, "'And' Shall direct stick' books to be distributeit gird read, and such lessons to be taught in such prison; as lieittiy deem properfor the religious and moral instruction of the pri woners Had the first clause of this: rule been remembered by a visiting justice, now Qne to pass sentence on me, one of my fancied crimes, would not have aPpeared in the long cata logue of accusation, I "will also" add that if the inspector had had the latter. elapse :in his band at the moment, he would not have, asked the matron of the 'prison for the cha racter of the tale or story bOok called the Two Shoemakers,_ seeing that the judgment of the Chaplain was by the tty, - Of the land final on that pOirit: • " And he 4411 visit ihose who, are in Solitary confine, 91 went. • It has not I think been attempted to charge against me that I ever avoided this duty. Remember what the gover nor has told ypu—" He eines not think the term" skulking'', applicable to any part of the chaplain's condct. The next clause to that quoted relates only to prison, where prisoners convicted of capital offences are confined, and is therefore omitted. The law continues. "Every such chaplain sholl:comminicate from time to time ' to the visiting justices, aayahuseoi-imPropriety which may have conie his knowledge." I have attempted to obey, this clause, this most important, this , most dangerous Part of mg dutm,, -; My, success, how ever, has not corresponded with my 4c§ir4; l Yor I have sel dom made a representation,WAich . .hgenbfev,ehtually turned into a charge against myseff. Tho`,SamergSfilt has followed my having truly, honestly, and .faithfully, according to my bounden duty, reported abuses all,d iniOrwrieties, which have come within my own knowledge, to.the - mspector of prisons. If I had not a witness, to support by oath the representation made by me, that. representation has been charged against me as a falsehood; althoughat tbelime of the original con versation, I eiOessly stated " that I could call no witness. And he shall further, keep it journal, in which he shall enter the time of his attendance on the performance of his duty, with any observations which may occur to him in the execu tion thereof." .How faithfully and fully I have obeyed this law you well know: how often I have been reproved for obeying the law, according to the best of my judgment in a proper manner, I well know. "'And. such journal shall be kept in the prison. And there shall be kept in every prison a book in which the chap lain, and every other officer of the said prison, not residing within such prison, shall regularly insert the date of every visit made : and every such entry shall be signed with the name, and proper handwriting of such chaplain ; and shall contain such remarks as may be thought necessary on the occasion of any such visit." There is one other clause, ordering the chaplain to make an annual report, to the magistrates, at each Michaelmas sessions, on the condition of the prison, &c., which law I have always obeyed. In October, 1839, in particular I per formed my duty, as I had done in the preceding year. You have now, gentlemen, before you every clause of the gaol act, which concerns me as a chaplain. I defy any man on earth, to prove that I have done less than my duty; every candid man will acknowledge, that in points purely clerical, I have done much .more than I need have done, and we all kuow—donari videtur, quad nullo jure cogente conceditur, speaking in the fear of God, and in the fullest conviction, that I am uttering a solemn truth, I declare. that to the best of my belief, I have, on an average, from the date of my appointment, (omitting from the calculation the few days I have been actually disabled by illness), been occupied, on gaol business, within the walls of the prison, about five hours daily, and, on business, exclusively arising out of my office, performed without the walls, something less than one hour. My habits, as well as the times, entered into my journal, would, if any one gentleman I address had know ledge of me in my private walk, convince him that the above is a very close approximation to the truth. The time of leaving my residence is from nine to half-past nine :my time of return to dinner, from three to four, and sometimes five. The only variations that I am aware of, were, whilst the sons of a gentleman, now present, were private pupils at my residence. During that period, twice in the week, I was home by two o'clock ; but on such occasions I generally contrived to leave my house, an hour earlier than usual in the morning; and that when acting on the committee of the dispensaries, I was usually there by 'one, and generally returned to the gaol before two ; making up by a later attend ance the time lost to my employers. My time, therefore, speaks for itself, as I have not a single acquaintance in the town, the visiting of whom might become a drawback on my time. My evenings at home have always been devoted to reading, study, and the preparation of those mathematical calculations of which you have heard, and which requiring the aid of an extensive library, and voluminous tables for their preparation could only occupy my time whilst at my habitation. But some friend present may say, (for I hope, gentlemen, that althoUgh I have of late only seen frowning visages, that I have really many friendly minds attend ing to my artless, my unprofessional tale), some friend may say, your statement of the tithe passed within the walls of the prison, is so different to that sworn to, that great as is my desife to think favourably, there still remains a difficulty to be overcome. . . -- Gentlemen, Babel was a mighty structure, but God over threw it. Sodom and Gomorrah, were for the age, powerful states, but the Lord overwhelmed them. Nieneveh was a wonderful city, but the same mighty Being so destroyed it, that not a vestige of its site can be traced. I require the same power, to overthrow the mounds cast up round about me ; and I have not bowed my knee, and my heart, in prayer before God, on this,subject, in vain—he hath delivered—he does deliver—and rtrust he will yet deliver. Ido not wor .ship a God so removed from me by infinite distance--so re mote from me by diversity of nature, as not to be touched with tne feeling of my infirmities ; but One, who, having been tempted in all points like myself, yet without sin, knows how to commiserate in my sufferings, and to pluck me from the snares of the fowler. Mr. Salmond .distinctly swears, that the average number of hours of miattendance, is two and a half on the week days, but that including the Sundays, the average may be three hours. 'three hours is the utmost average.. Hence then, he swears, that I am not so much as eighteen hours within the walls of the prison, during the six working days. lie aids,-shave no data pn which I found my opi!tion !. . , The justices will allow me I am sure to add two hours as a fair weekly average for my attendance on them in committee. They will also allow, that I must at least have occupied to the extent of three hours weekly in the chapel, calculating one half hour for each attendance, it being well known that rather more than that time, is really so expended. Then we must add one hour, for Mr. Archer's short, but friendly visits, and an equal period for the Governor's calls. The latter items are under rather than over-rated,for when friends drop in, to chat with each other, time soon flies away. Now, gentlemen, we will balance our accounts. Business you know can never go on well without such a process. Time passed in teaching or learning .... 9 hours. Do. in mathematical calculations 6 do. Do. in the committee-room .... 2 do. Do. • in the chapel Do. in conversation with surgeon 1 do. Do. in converse with governor.. 1 do. 22 hours Time accounted for without visiting a cell, a ward, a work room, a hospital, a school, any one person in solitary, or con versing with any individual prisoner, twenty-two hours. Mr. Sammond swears that my time within the walls of the prison is 15 hours or 18 at the utmost. - Mr. Batcheldor swears 21 or 21 hours is the extreme. Thus one runs altogether into negative numbers. the exist ence of which some mathematicians profess to deny. The other issometimes negative, sometimes positive, a most fit ting emblem of the variableness of all his ways. Gentlemen, either these parties err in givincr an account of the way in which my time is spent within the walls of the prison, or there must be some lamentable error in what they state as the time of my attendance, or, which is the real truth, they mistake in both, having no data on which to found their calculations. I need, I am convinced, only state to you, as men not ig norant of calculations, that the mathematical papers, needful to the formation of such societies as have been referred to, could not be made in my limited vestry, without the power of momentary reference to tables of many different kinds. The one fact, that no one line could be written without the use of tables of logarithms and of the probabilities of life, will at once convince you, that not one hour has been lost to the corporation of Liverpool by my innocent, and to me most in teresting, pursuits ; always, however, carried on in my own abode. I have certainly shewn some of the results of my specula tions to Mr. Batcheldor, as I have also done to one of the trustees now before me. As to Mr. George Batcheldor, I gave him instruction at very irregular intervals during the periods he has mentioned, so irregularly indeed, that I declined receiving, as the last payment, more than one half of the stipulated sum. These lessons were appointed to be given, and were actually given, on nearly every occasion, during the hour devoted to the pri soners dining, washing their cans, and taking their short ex ercise in the yards, a period, when I could not have visited them beneficially ; when, indeed, I could not have done so, without hindering the turnkey attending me from taking his food, and thus be the cause of hindering him being ready for his afternoon duties. This, I may state, is an hour when the inspector would not have imputed blame, had I passed it over a newspaper, or in a walk, or in bathing, or in any other innocent manner • but that I should endeavour, by extra ex ertion, to providefor the wants of my family, was a vice he must expose; it might form an excellent paragraph for his next report to be laid before parliament. The chaplain of the Borough Gaol of Liverpool being in circumstances of pressing povery, arrising not out of his own extravagant habits, but from the wretchedness of a collateral branch of his family, occupies an hour in teaching a person living within the prison, in his own vestry, also within that prison ; an hour, when his public time could be of no benefit to those under his pastoral care. Dreadful, indeed ! "Is this gaol business Mr. Batcheldor?" was particularly asked three se veral times by the inspector, as though the reply would be a death-blow to the fame,•andyeputation of-Dr. Duck. The Frenchman who is supposed to have given me lessons daily, is 'a poor Italian refugee, of good family, and very superior attainments ; and was introduced to me by Mr. R—, of Sandon-terrace, a most philanthropic individual, as a person for whom he wished me. if possible, to exert any interest I might have, for his welfare, he being extremely poor. Our communications were usually conducted in the French language ; and as Signor L—, the individual in question, desired me to Anglicise for him a short prospectus of about a dozen lines, as a private tutor in French and Ita lian, and Mr. Batcheldor happened that day to pay me one of his affectionate visits whilst 1 was correcting the page, he has very innocently fallen into the error of supposing, either that I was instructing him, or was myself receiving instruction. Signor L— called, perhaps in all, six or eight times upon me : it could not have been more frequently, he being an usher in some academy on the Cheshire side of the river. He sometimes came a few minutes before chapel, attended the service, and departed soon after,—never having occupied a single hour of my time from public duties. I return, gentlemen, to the consideration of the fact, that so far from neglecting my duties, the ardour and intensity of attendance upon them has materially injured my health. My physician and surgeon, the surgeon of the prison, the governor, matron, taskmaster, and every subordinate exa mined, have testified to the weak state of my health, my frequent exhaustion, and apparent unfitness to go through the„ardnons labours devolving on me. You have also, I believe, ample evidence before you, that in the performance of nay duties 1 carried away infection, which, through me, was imparted to evert , member of my family. The inspector, when he first heard of this painful proof of my zeal in the performance of my `duties;` earnestly said, " You have, of course, been remunerated for the expenses into which you were consequently led ?" " Not so," I replied ; " you do not know Liverpool 'so well as I do." The very man who at that time thus spoke endeavours now to show, that I have neglected every duty ; that if exertion has been undertaken above my powers, it has been foamy private gain; that, in fact, the exhaustion„ and distress, on my lungs, (brought •about by active duties and by constant speaking and preach frig,) are only the results of my Sitting quietly at my table, in the study of the 'Mathematics, which - has been a leading pursuit of my life, and my - chiefest recreation for more than 'thirty 'Years. Hours'of study in such pursuits have never yet injured mY;health, but have often been a refreshment, When suffering under bodily and mental fatigue. • The cauFS of my illness maybe more correctly traded to the following : Daily meditation, for daily preaching. '— Constant ecinversatiOniviith separate prigUners. Frequent extemporaneous prayer with different persons. Visiting between fife and six hundred prisoners, on an average fromtfour to - five times•each, weekly.. Mental anguish, from the constant sight of crime and of human suffering. Anxiety, arising out of a knowledge that every word uttered by me might at some future time be tortured into a charge of guilt. The petty annoyances and insults heaped on me by those having power in the prison. The sense of the marked reserve and distance with, which I have been treated by the magistracy from the very _day I accepted office under them. Each one of these, and much more, all combined, acting on a nervous frame, will account for days of pain and nights of anxiety, without requiring the aid of a daily lesson , of in struction in algebra as an, aggravation. Gentlemen, allow me most respectfully to say, that the prosecution of any officer of a )prison, in consequence of in formation at which an inspector may arrive, may become quite essential, quite praiseworthy ; but as the truth, and the unexaggerated truth only, is required to be developed, the enquiry should be conducted without personal feeling. An open, straight-forward, manly course should be pursued. In such a case no one would be more submissive than your chaplain ; who, having been educated in a military school, knows well the respect that is due, and is most desirous of complying with, all the needful demands of subordination. Justice, however, demands that, when a charge, which at first sight appeared grave, has been shown to have no foun dation in truth, to be utterly incapable of sustainment, the inspector, dropping the office of prosecutor, should at once say, my information has in this instance failed. In a word, he should be as ready to acquit of blame which may have been wrongfully imputed, as to press for conviction where the proof has been clearly established. Gentlemen, I believe I have now replied to thirteen charges. Remember, 1 had no previous notice of their na ture, so as to be prepared to judge of the impor tance of the different parts of the produced evidence ; no skill, to conduct in the most beneficial way, my cross examinations ; no legal aid, to assist in preparing the manner. or matter, of my defence. If, therefore, labouring under the effects of the most painful imputations, against a character hitherto without a stain ; if, in a sense of conscious inno cence ; I have been led, on some occasions, through a very long investigation, and long reply. to give way remarks offensive to any one gentleman I address, or to Or you will, I hope, impute them to the novelty of my situation. Clergy men, in modern times, are not to be expected to be pleaders for others or themselves. I have on no occasion designed to offend, but to clear himself of groundless imputations. Let me, then, entreat, that no feeling of displeasure at any of my remarks may be allowed to divert the evenness of your judg ment. If I were guilty on any one point which has been ar gued against me, I would now come forward and say so. Not all the consequences with which 1 might be visited, for ac knowledged crime, could deter me from avowing my own shame, were I guilty on any one of the charges which have been pressed so severely against me. With the breastplate of truth I have endeavoured to defend myself. That it will eventually prove a successful defence I can have no doubt, God having said to my soul, " No wea pon formed against thee shall prosper. I will bring thy righteousness to the light. Truth will, it must prevail." Gentlemen, I have told you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God! STONE FOR THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—Chas. Wright, Esq., of North Anston, has been offered after the rate of £1,500 per acre by gOvernment, for the stone con tained in' two fields of about 16 acres, at the above place, wanted for the erection of the new houses of parliament. This very liberal offer, we understand, has been rejected, notwithstanding the fields were to be re-delivered to Mr. Wright, on a sufficient quantity of stone having been ob tained from them for the purpose alluded to.

Were this all that sympathy and good wishes required of us, we might end here with their expression ; but we fear that he who has contributed so much and so fre quently to the innocent mirth of millions, has, superadded to the merely bodily inflictions to which all humanity is sub ject, one of the most annoying, and, unfortunately, we may add, one of the most usual accompaniments of genius —the res anguske domi.

When the lecture was commenced, a man of the name of Sykes, who comes to Huddersfield every day with an ass load of milk from Fixby, rose, but Finnigen (the lecturer) declared he should not speak at all, unless he first told him (Finnigen) what he intended to say ! Finnigen is a Pat lander, and of course had a right to 'make an Irish bull. The milkman told him he would speak upon the subject of the lecture as he pleased, (the lecturer having agreed to a dis cussion,) and this formed a sufficient reason for this Irish lecturer to slip away. After Sykes had cut up the lecture to the best of his ability, Mr. Pitkethly was called upon. He, lamented that his friend Sykes had frightened the great man away, as he had prepared some questions for him. The whigs hereupon raised a tumult, and made a push towards Mr. P., but the people formed so closely round him that they dared not approach. They then howled and yelled in such a manner that nothing could be heard, and the meeting there fore broke up in an uproar.—Halifax Guardian. A NEEDLE FOUND IN THE lIEART OF A Cow.—A. valuable cow, the property of M r . J aco b , o f t h e H ous e of in dustry, in Shrewsbury, appearing to dislike her food and to show symptoms of uneasiness, in the end of last week, was suspected of suffering under inflammation, and was immedi ately killed ; but, every part of the carcase appearing sound and wholesome, the butchers were greatly puzzled to ac count for her malady, till on the heart being handled, a hard substance, like the end of a nail, was discovered pro truding from near the centre of it. Several persons stand ing round urged the substance being cut out; but, on consi derable force being exerted, the cause of the animal's dis tress was extracted without cutting, in the shape of a large stocking needle, which had penetrated upwards of three inches through the substance of the heart, and become fixed within it. From the head of the needle being turned towards the ribs, it is suspected that the poor animal had lain down upon the weapon, which had penetrated through the hide, and transfixed the heart. The needle appears to have re mained in the heart a long time, as it was quite firmly em bedded, nor was there any slough or inflammation as from a recent wound ; but the blood at the bottom of the cavity of the heart being prevented returning by the needle, had be come a substance, arid impeded the natural action of the vital organ, which brought on the symptoms that induced its proprietor to destroy the cow. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—On: Monday morning last, the Red Rover, coach left Glasgow at six o'clock. An out side passenger, who appeared to, be an 'old soldier, took his seat behind the coachman. He was then somewhat groggy, but, tasting at every stop, got quite intoxicated, and had fallen asleep unobserved. When about seven miles from Edinburgh, a gentleman seated beside the driver thought be observed something pass him, and looking about called to the coachman to stop, saying, " The poor fellow has fallen off." The coach was then going at a rapid pace, and had proceeded about 50 or 60 yards 'before it could be brought up. On coming to a halt, a carter passing caught out, " For God's sake, driver, stop and take that man from under the wheel I" On alighting, it was found that the old soldier, in falling, had got one of his feet fixed between the fore spring of the coach and the boot, while his body had been thrown outside of the near front wheel, and had thus been dragged forward, the wheel grazing slightly the inside of one of his legs. He was carefully released, and put into the basket ; it being impossible at the time to ascertain the extent of his injury. On arrivin ,, at Edinburgh, it was imagined a corpse would have presented itself; instead of which, however, the veteran was discovered in a sound snoring sleep. Being un known, he was sent to the police-office ; and next morning, on the gentleman who had seers him fall' callin g to inquire, he found him " hale in lith an' limb ;" and observed, that, it was a striking exemplification of the truth of the proverb, that " Providence is kind to drunk folk and bairns."-- Caledonian Mercury. . A Goon SHOT.—During the recent storm, when every " puny whipster" was arming himself with a fowling piece, and going forth to slay the poor birds that were to be met with in the fields, the master of a vessel at this port thought he too would equip himself with his gun, and essay to distin guish himself as a marksman. Many were the times he loaded and levelled ; but the objects of his aim invariably went away unscathed, and left our hero amazed at his mar vellous ill luck. At length he obtained sight of a hare in a snow drift ; and, trusting more to his heels than his optics, our seaman laid down his gun, and gave chase to poor puss, whom he quickly secured amidst the snow. When he got her, however, and was contemplating her fate, it suddenly struck him that she afforded no proof of his being cunning of aim, and that to secure the desired boast amongs his friends, his victim should bear some marks of his unerring skill as a shooter. Accordingly he placed a cord round the hare's neck, and tied her to a gate, and, then cautiously retiring to a re spectable distance, prepared to carry his deadly intentions into solemn effect. The piece is placed against his shoulder, the trigger is pulled, and poor puss is—what ?—writhing in agony ? No such thing. She scuds once more across the plain ; for our hero managed completely to miss her, and, instead, cut the cord that bound her to tie stake, and so left her once more at, liberty to enjoy her wonted haunts. The sailor's looks and reflections, as his prize scampered away, will present themselves quite plain enough to every mind without the aid of our description.—Whitehaven Herald. tainin; - T ly incumbent upon all ; ind that , the ziven for this line of policy, and the precedents ough they may be more inconvenient at the, pre one party than the other—bind each and. all of them to th policy, which we are bold to recommend evitable force •and tenacity.

BUCK TO THE CHARGES PRE FERRED AGAINST BIM BY CAPT. WILLIAMS. (Concluded.) THE THIRTEENTH AND LAST CHARGE IS NEGLECT OF This, gentlemen, is a charge against which I could have had no thdught I should be called on to defend myself. We do, however. sometimes, in our passage through life, meet with strange things, things not to be accounted for on any well defined principle. Dr. Buck is accused of neglect of duty ! The accusation is preposterous. I will, not, how ever, deal ip declamation, but appeal at once to the law, that we may ascertain what are the duties of a chaplain of a pri son, and be thus better able to ascertain whether Dr. Buck has perfohned them'or not. " - Prayers, to be selected from the liturgy of the Church of England by the chaplain, are to be read every morning by the chaplain, the keeper, or by some other person, as by the rules and regulatiobs shall be directed." The chaplain has made the required selection. The pray ers have been read, as required, by the chaplain, or by the schoolmaster, appointed by the justices to act for him. " A'nd portions of the scriptures shall be read to the pri soners, when assembled for instruction, by the chaplain, or by such person as may be appointed by him." . One of my quarterly reports, quoted when I was, on a for mer occasion, before you in defence, will clearly show that I have ventured to request of the magistrates that some small time daily, even if it were only five minutes, might be devot ed to the duties here prescribed, but that my application did not lead to a successful result. Mr. Batcheldor swears, that omitting all consideration of the time passed on Sunday in the prison, my time averages three and a half or four hours daily, within the walls. Hence he supposes me to be twenty-one or twenty-four hours in carcerated. He however adds,-1 have no data on which I found my judgment. Now let us enquire, gentlemen, how this time has been passed, between August 1839, and August 1840: for there is distinct evidence before you, to shew its employment, day by day, during that particular period. Mr. Batcheldor, jun. received instruction one hour daily, never more than two hours, he says, until he quitting, a poor Frenchman came to give me instruction, and his visits ex tended from one hour to three hours daily. One or other of • these parties engaged my attention, one hour and a half daily, or nine hours in the week. My mathematical papers—sworn to have been prepared in the prison, including all the details and calculations needful to a Benefit, or as it should have been called, a Loan So ciety ; all the calculations needful to the establishment of a Life Insurance Office ; and also of an Annuity Society, em bracing every branch of that business ; and, in fact, compris ing all the calculations needful for a more extended plan, than that prepared for the government, by Mr. Finlayson, the celebrated .actuary ; all were (of course without books and tables of reference) prepared in the gaol. " They occu pied much prison time." Now gentlemen, suppose we say that one hour daily was thus taken from my legitimate duties, that will account for six hours in the week. WORKING LOCOMOTIVES EXPANSIVELY,—The Liverpool and Manchester Railway, always the most forward in im provements, have been working their engines for about four months expansively. It is said that the saving of fuel has been reduced in the ratio of 45 to 25, or of 9 to 5 ; that is, about 441 per cent. The Great Western, the next most en terprising railway in the kingdom, talk also of introducing it. We have no doubt whatever but that it is an excellent plan, though heretofore considered applicable to fixed engines only. The principle is obvious. In all reciprocating machinery there is necessarily a great loss of power, from the quantity of matter to be put in motion and destroyed at every half stroke of the engine. If, therefore, the steam can be par tially cut off during the stroke, so that the effective power of steam saved shall compensate for this constant generation of momentum at every half stroke, it will evidently be a saving of so much power and so much expense. No doubt this can be done very well in fixed engines, because they always work at nearly the same speed. In locomotives, however, there is a difference, on account of the velocities, and, consequent ly, the momenta generated being very unequal. We have not gone into the mathematical investigation, but it appears to us that if the compensation is perfect at one velocity it will not be so at another, because the forces to be compen sated will not be the same, and, therefore, at whatever velo city the compensation is complete, it will be over-compen sated at a loss, and under at a higher velocity. This, how ever, should not deter parties from introducing it. In sta tionary engines the steam is cut off from one-third to two thirds stroke, and on the Liverpool and Manchester about one-third, we understand, is cut off. The subject is deser ving of attentive prosecution.—Railway Magazine. It would seem that another and shorter line of Railway between London and the North of England is projected. The Government Commissioner, Professor Barlow, who has been accompanied by Mr. Amsinck, has returned to town from his tour of inspection' with Mr. Gibbs, the civil en gineer, of the, line to the North over the level country 9f Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAILWAY.—On the opening of that portion of the Great North of England Railway from Darlington to York, the trains consisted of between 300 and 400 waggons, each having about fifty-three cwt. of coal, and extending about one mile in length. The largest pieces of coal were one marked " Pease's St. Helen's New Winning," which contained about forty-four cubic feet of coal, and weighed nearly thirty cwt.; and another piece about thirty cwt. ; and another piece about thirty cubic feet, and weighed about twenty cwt. The trains were about seven hours in performing the journey to York, including stoppages.—New castle Journal. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

The demand for goods has been very fair, with a rather numerous attendance of buyers ; but no improve ment has taken place in prices. The prospect of a long and and severe winter has generally some influence upon; the flannel market, either in prices or quantity of business done. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JANUARY 26.—The aspect of this market was decidedly favourable, there being many buyers, and desirable goods changed hands freely at fair prices. The demand is principally in low and middle qua lities of plain and fancy woollens, light checks, and other fancy goods. In short, there is considerable buoyancy, with every prospect of an advance of prices. Stocks are com paratively small, and the operatives are generally employed. More activity prevails in the warehouses. Wools are firm. — Manchester Guardian.

(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott $- Son.) Since this day week, although the winds have been favourable for arrivals, the imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal, have been very moderate, but fully adequate to the demand which has like wise been to a very limited extent, with little or no variation in the prices of any article in the Corn trade since Tuesday last. The duties on Grain from foreign ports remain exactly the same as in the week preceding; the demand for Flour and Grain, in bond, has been very trivial, and prices almost nominal. We had alternate frost and thaw during the past week; the latter has predominated, and continues very mildly, so that our water communication with the interior is almost clear. At this day's market, sales were effected only to a moderate ex tent. and we can note no alteration in our dast prices current. WU EAT, S. d. S. B. INDIAN CORN, V 48011.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN 28 The extreme scarcity of fine Butter, and the very high price the article bears, compared with that of the middling qualities, have caused an active inquiry for the latter. Several hundred firkins have changed hands in the last day or two, principally, however, upon speculation, and we may quote prices 2s to 3s higher. We understand the stocks generally in Ireland are very low, and the prevalent opinion is that the season will close with very high rates. All other articles of the trade very quiet indeed. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 27 There was a better show of stock to-day than on this day se'nnight. The demand for Beef and Mutton was fair; prices for both were a little easier, but we do not alter our quotations. Nearly all sold. Best Beef, 6id to 7}d; inferior, 5d to 6d. Best Mutton, 7d to Sd ; Ewes, &c., Sid to id per lb sinking the offal. PRICES OF TIMBER AT LIVERPOOL *Wool', Deals, 120 stand. in. duty paid , Duty.
