There are about 600 Roman CathoEcii in the
Middlesex prisons; and the other day the magistrates had a
motion before theta, proposing that Roman Catholic
chaplains should be appointed and paid under the Prison
Ministers Act. The niotion was lost by a majority of 44 to
30. The leader of the opposition, forgetful nit the " golden
rule," and the precept about rewarding evil with good.
objected to the motion on the ground that " antler Roman

The prize-ring seems just now to have fallen upon
evil days in Amenca as well as in England. The governor of
Pennsylvania having learned that a tight for the champion-
ship was to take place in that state on the 15th inst., between
an English and an Irish pugilist, decided upon issuing a pro-
clamation warning the combatants and their supporters from
carrying out this design, and threatening them with punish-
ment if they were guilty of such a breach of the peace. The
mayor of Philadelphia would, it was believed, issue a procla-
mation to the same effect.

The directing of the South-Eastern Company have
now instructed their officers to abandon the plan of locking
any of the carriage doors while the trains are travelling. It
may be feared teat many accidents will result, but in such
cases the railway will escape damages, as the getting out on
the wrong side will be a voluntary act. The true course
would be, it appears to us, to have a second fastening, which
could be undone in case of need, hut which would prevent
the door opening at once by the ordinary handle, and than
indicate his mistake to the peasenger.
