A CRINESF. PRISON.—We were examining one
of the yards of the 'mond prison, and Lord Elgin, who is
seldom absent when any work is defog, was one of the I
spectators. As it was Mead daylight the dens were sup-
posed to be empty. Some one thought he heard a low mean
m one of them, and advanced to the bars to listen. He re-
coiled sa if a blast Coen • furnace had rushed out upon him.
Never were human senses assailed by • more horrid stream '
of institute,. The gaolers were ordered to open that place,
sad refusing, as a Chinaman alweye at first refuse', were
given over to the rough handling of tt.e. ...Adieu, who were
told to make them. No wiener were hands laid upon the
poises than the sttded moan became • wail, and the wail
became a contours, of low weakly muttered groans.
So soon as the double doors could be opened several
of us west into the place. The thick stench could only be
endured foe a moment, but the spectacle was not one to look
long at. A corpse lay at the bottom of the den, the breasts,
the only fieshy parts, gnawed and eaten away by rata.
Around it and upon it was a festering mass of humanity
still alive. The mandarin peter, who seemed to wonder
what all the excitement was about, was compelled to hays
the poor creatures drawn forth, and no man who sew that
eight will ever forret It. They were skeleton', not men.
You could only believe that there was blood in their bodies
by seeing it clo ted upon their undressed wounds. As
they were born-3 out one after the other, and
laid upon the pavement of the rod, each seemed
more horrible thin the last. They were too far gone
to shriek, although tho agony must have been great, the
beery irons pressirg upon their raw, lank shins as the
gaolers lugged thou not too tenderly alon.g. They had been
beaten into this state, perhaps long ago, by the heavy bam-
boo, and bad been thrown into this den to rot. Their crime
was that they bad attempted to escape. Hideous and loath-
some, however, as wee the eight of their foal wounds, their
flithy rags, and their aseciatml hocks, it was not so distress-
ing as the indescribable expression of their eyes ; the horror
of that look of fierce spay fixed us like • fascination. As
the diel,cated wretches writhed upon the ground tears rolled
down the cheeks of the soldiers of the escort, who stood in
rank near them. A 'brand° French sergeant, who had the
little mandarin in canody. gesticulated with his bayonet so
fiercely that we were afraid he would kill him. We did not
then haw that the single word which the poor creatures
ware trying to utter was "hunger,' or that that dreadful
✓atting of the eyeball wee the look of famine. Same of
them had been aithout food tor four days. Water they
bad, for there is a well in the yard, and their fellow-
prisoners had supplied then', but mice for food were
saswered only by the bamboo. Ala! it was not till the neat
morning that we found out this; for although we took some
away, we left others there that night. Since the commence-
ment of this year Mem men have died in that cell. dome
of those who were standing by me Asked, " How will you
ever be to tell this to the English people ?" I
believe that no description could lead the imagination to a
fall conception f what we saw In that Canton prison.
I have not attempted to do more than dot a faint outline of
the truth, and when I have read what I have written feel
bow feeble and foreclose is the image upon paper when com-
pared with the scene upon my memory. This was the worst
of the dew we opened, but there were many others which
fell but • few degrees below it in their horrors. There was
not one of the 6.000 prisoners we saw whose appearance be-
fore any assemblage would not have aroused cries of indiges-
tion. It appears quite certain that, within a period dating
from the commencement of the present troubles, six Eu-
ropeans, two Frenchmen, end four Englishmen have found
their death In these dreadful dens.—Correspondent of the
Te Pus.

LEAPING PROP A RAILWAY TRAIN AT FULL
flegan.—On Wednesday, 1 bonus Mint, a private in the

or, in default of payment, one month's inertsommeat, for
lisping, that n ,earns, from a railway train, while at full
sed between the Dingle and Saddlewoeth Stations on the
London and North-Western line. The mart was drunk, sad
war attempting to go into another compartment of the car-
riage having got through the top of the door, which wee
locked, for that purpose. Singularly enough, he was not
hart, and he made his way to the Navigation Inn, where he
was taken into custody, and front thence brought before the
bench. He was on his way from Leeds to Manchester.—

About midnight on Saturday last, a fatal widest (the fowth

COURT OF BANBRUPTCY.-111Aacs 29.
(Belem Mr. Commissioner Hoiroyd.)
IN Al NOWAY ♦ND
.YO/LET.

This was theceralloae72;etirigto We caw of the bank-
rupts, the well-known news ts, of Catherfee-street,
Strand. We have already the accounts folly and
frequantly.
Mr. Ford (of the firm of Rogerson and Ford) appeared for
the assignees, end Mr. Lawrence for the bankrupts.
The Commissioner—The balance-sheets exhibit a vwy un-
eatisfictuy slate of affairs to the creditors, upon whom the
base mist necessarily fall. It the Mosley@ had had a large
amount of capital they might have taken such a business as
this. It scents to me to be a case requiring some notice, tape-
dolly with respect to the accommodation bills, of which ft
atpears there are 400!, or 5001. worth, for which they
wide themselves liable when they were wonting meaty
themselves. There are also large items only estimated—
WA of 18,0001. for purchased, another of 9,0001. for sales,
wholly unvotichrd. Ido not think it is a ewe in which any
difference should be made between the bankrupts, because,
when a party places himself in the poeitlon of a partner, he
must take all the responsibilities of that position; for in the
mercantile world nobody would know he was a clerk. I
think the certificate should be suspended for six months from
this time; when granted to be of the third clam, with pro-
tection in the mesa time.
