A PLEASING C REMONT.—A pleasing instance of the
friendly feeling entertained by the Methodists towards
the Established Church occurred at Walkden Moor,
Worsley, near Maneheeter, in Wh!Winn week. On
Friday the Sunday Schools, connected with the Church,
Wesleyans, and Primitive Methodists, made their
annual procession through the district, amounting in
the whole to ui.wards of 1200. Labeling and timeliers.
The three seliouls imet in the centre of the vi loge, when
the incumbent, who was beading the Church school,
invited the ugensgers of the two Dissentmg schools to
unite and sing a hymn together, which Wll4 cheerfully
and heartily agreed to, the various bminers being
ranged side by side, and the young people mixing
freely one with another. After ttio hymns had been
sung the incumbent of the district delivered en address
in the open sir, in whisk heeLborted both teachers and
seleilars to value highly the great and blessed privileges
afforded them by toe Sunday School, and how it be-
hoved those who were desirous for hue extension of
the Redeemer's Kingdoin on earth to cultivate a kind
feeling for all denominations of Christians, and avoid
party spirit, which was so contrary to that manifested
by the blessed Redeemer when on earth ; that the day
was fast approaching when pastors, teacher'', and
scholars.would be standing side by side before the Judg-
ment Seat, where ell distinctions of sect and party
,woeld be unknown when e sett one would have to give
in his account to dud, The union of the three mehools
gave %he greatest satisfaction to the inhabitants
generally,, who testified their approbation by pio-
nouncing the scene they had that day witnessed as one
of the happiest that had ever happened at Walkden
Moor, _

THIS EASTN/iN FISHESINII —There is at lag some
inn revelment ti note in the mackerel fishery now being
prosecuted off the evtern coast. At Great Yarmouth
a fair quantity of fine ash have been landed during the
List tow days, ono boat IsAvilasrea*

ranged for 355. to 455. per 120 for fresh
fish, and 251. to 30s. per 120 for over
Joy lots. The prospects of the fishery have oho
improved at Lowestoft, one boat having made a catch
of no less than 1,700 fish. This, however, must b
regarded as quite an exceptional success...

AUSTRALIAN GO4O STATIFITICK —A blue-book for
1861, published in Victoril, states that the number of
European alluvial miners in the oolonies is 61,516; of
Chinese, 24,536; quartz miners 14,303 Europaaus, and
only nine Chinese. The number of persons, miners and
those dependent on them, residing in time gold fields is
233,501 ; time value of machinery employed in alluvial
and quartz mining, £1,411,012. The prices of quartz
crushing vary from 7s. to IA 104. per ton, and prices oh
gold vary from 1:3 to a 13s. per ounce. The quantity
of gold received by escort tu 1861, was 1,832,887 i
ounces, and the total quantity exported in the same
year warm 1,967.420 ounces.
"Prince Mired of England," says the Phare de in
Manche, "visited, at Cherbourg, the iron-plat.
frigates Normandie ant Coaronne, and the steam-vessel
Napoleon, which are in the roadstead. He also went
over the breskwnti.r, arsenal, and other maritime
establishments in the town."

Tliere is great and natural lamentation amogg the
pt itioners who dwell in and around Lmeolleipinn-fields.
The Lord Chancellor bag put forth an order, which
came into effect lot week, that all affidavits &nil- dopo-
'drone in Chancery be printed instead of written. as
heretofore. Now many law-stationers carried ,on
thriving trade in making manuscript (Kopko of those
documentu. which this order completely destroys; and,
they assert, throws 400 clerks out of employment. Their
case iv, indeed, a hard one, but no worse than many
other trades have had to endure and get over es they
best could There is no question, whateve., that printed
papers are wore legible than the beat manuscripts, and
the eais with which they can be multiplied with perfect
accuracy and uniformity, are manifest advantages. It
is quite useless, then, for the law stationers to set the
interest of their croft a.ainst public utility; they exist
for the public service, and not the public for them ; and
if fewer clerks timid work, more compositors, pressmen,
and readers will.

STAIS or PHISONS.—The annual report on the
priseni of Great Brtain lies been issued, so far as con-
cerns the southern district. It represents that the
greater number of the prisons are in a very satisfaixory
.te, but there are iostances in which this cannot be
said. In reporting on the county prison at Exeter the
inspector, Mr. Perry, has to remark that 15 or 10 hours
named by the prisoners in darkness Mt- laid...sinter tend
to tower the habits of klleneas,_the most prevelaet vice
of our criiiiinul population. The aulistitotion of pro-
doctive labour for that which is merely punitive con-
tinues to be attended with most beneficial results upon
the chulacter of the prisoners; corporal punishment
for prison offences had almost ceased in prisons on the
mei arate system, except where the crank mills, grind-
ing nothing, ootoll take the iolace of useful eMploy-
meet. In Stlioril, Manchester, and Wandsworth,
with the unproductive crank labour, there have been
136 floggiugr for obstinate resistance to discipline iii
the same period in whieli there have beets hut irottr
in Liverpool, Wakefield, end Holloway, with the
eystem of useful industry. The Middlesex klouse of
Correction in Coldbath-fields is unfortunately con-
spicuous among prisons inadequate fur their purpose,
improvement having been do I led in the hope of •
removal to a better site. This g:ool contains 921 cells,
many of them manifestly u-diealthy, and the prisoners
above this nninber (sometimes 700 or 800), sleep in
hammocks slung close together, 80 or IW in a dormi-
tory ; or, still worAe, on the floors of workshops,
whidt have been only a short time emptied of their
working inmates, an •I then littered down with beds
almost covering the floor for those (no less than 300
in April last) who munot be received In the dor:bi-
t:tries. The magistrates at the date of this report
were providing some small relief by removing part of
the exeess of prisoners to Bedford and Northampton,
and were considering • ploi for incr. wing the sorrow-
miedotion of the prison, ISO that it may be hoped the
reproach any be ultimately removed from the metro-
polioan county of being the only one unprovirled with
sufficient prisoon room. In referenco to juvenile emu-
inittnetots, the Inspector notices t..at in the gaol at
Rce lie found a boy of eight conunitted for a week
for stealing a telescope, which he sold for a penny,
and a boy of 14 committed for a month for sweering
in the street; he considers that the first child was
hardly old enough to recognize the distinction between
right and wrong, and that the second, for using
fonguage eanctiooned in his eyes by the example of
those around him, required a school rather than a
prison, and that it ie not well that both should be
tought so early that to be in a prison is • lessterrible
thing thou they expected. The governor and the
sur„teon of Lewes county gaol give their opinion that
flogging is quite useless as a moral agent with hard'
boys, and is only effective with boys who could
be better managed without it.

RISLEY Is Tag Est:toilet-qr.—By some strange per-
versity the Babe Society, instead of taking their ;daft
among booksellers and publishere, entered their collec-
tion under Class xxii., among Educational Works end
Appliancee. At a high elevation in the Central Tower,
in a place out of tee throitglifare, diM malt to Owl, and
em Ilona visited by any except inquisitive Mid long-winded
clinabere, their case, containing copies of the Scriptnres
in 19t lauguages, is set in the corner of a gallery filod
with photographs, echeol.bioks, map., globes, organe,
desks, dolls, anal a variety of educational cpseekeries.
iuflu-ntial petition was made to the Commissioners
to nave the case removed to a more crelapiciuus position,
but, on second thoughts, the Society took the matter
into their own hands, and opened a hanaleome booth
in the Cromwelhread, which the eye of no visitor can
,eiss. Under Cia-v xxvuii.,in the gallery, North Court,
Messrs. S. Bageter and Sons display a tasteful
selection of their exqniaitely-printeil editions of the
Scriptures, bound in morocco, vellum, ivory, and
oak. Messrs. Sere and Samttiewoode make a grand
slow of Bilks and Prayer Books, in all sizes, in gaudier
bindings than Messrs. Baggers. Some large Family
Bibles, with heavy gilt braes clasaasand rims, find many
rani:erg. The whole chock in this case has been
bought by Mr. Fiel I, of Regent-street, who will likely
have orders for them all ha fore the day of removal
arrives. On the bindings of Bibles money is spent very
freely, met whilst we notice much neatness and solidity
of work, we observe no freelances in design, but a
perpetnal repetitimmn of conventional patterns in calf and
met-med. The coat or a Bible is as well known as the
coat of a mlergyman, and everybody knows a Bible by
Big I without looking at its title. Mr. William Collins,
ot Glas.tow, exhibits a copy of the New Teetament,
printed on a single outspread sheet of peper ; and two
or three Bibles bound in morocco, which call for no
remark. Mr. Mackenzie, also of Glasgow, shows
a large Bible in morocco, which he calls "Th.
Qoeen'e Bible," of which only 170 copies were
printid, at the price to subscribers of fifty guineas
earl.. It ie illustr,ted with ohntograplia from tie Holy
L. nil, by Firth, aril attracts lunch notice. The type
from which it wee ;dieted was net up by Young's type
compoviee and distributing machine, to he teen at work
in the Western Annexe, Class Vu,. No. 1,7b0. At first
ei4lit it looks like the skeleton of a piano. The compo-
sitor eta h- furs it, and tenches its keys, which are
I dtered With the alpliebet, commune, semi-colons,
colons, and perio Is. Each touch of his finger liberates
a tyre, which gli lea down a tube and tikes its lilacs in
the liee, Ti,, plsyer. it if, said, can thus set up from
12,000 to 15,000 types an hour, and the fount flows on
with ae much facility as thettglt It were really fluid. It
is estimated, that with the mild of this ma.
chine, three men Inas, do the work of five ; but the
coat and cmre of the complicated apparatus hail to be
deducted from this caving. We have seen many
wnndera effected by machinery, but we have little hope
that the compositor will ever be superseded by any
j mechanical device.

A cargo of cotton and specie, to a considerable
amonnt, reached the Mersey last week from the
Conf +dente States. The rev-el hails from ffavannoh,
but comes ostensibly from Matamorsto, • port on the
Rio Grande del Norte. The specie, amounting to
433.000 &Taro, is supposed to consist of shipments

For many years the belief in France was that French
enal was totally unsuitable for the steam engines of
vessel., end, in consequence, English alone was em-
pl.mycd. Bnt latterly the discovery has been made
that the French coal can be employed with advantage,
and the probability accordingly is that the English will
be set 11814. In a reemett number of • newspaper of
Lorient is this paragraph :--" French coal has com-
pletely replaced English in the Imperial navy. Our
port receives every day considerable Imppliet from the
mines of the Loire ; they are brought to Lorient by
canals and nvera. Thus the problem which has been
slo long discussed as to the •stoply to the navy has been
solved to the *lrontage of French coal, which can

A most extraordinary eircumstanae, (which oar fair
