TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

•
Sir,—Among the numerous letters inserted in
valuable journal from those who have suffered from if:;
and hotel-keepers, I have not observed that any one s'„
compared the charges made to them with those made tor
"commercial travellers." The usual scale of charges
them is the following :

8. il.
Breakfast, with meat
Ditto, without meat 1 6
Tea, with meat
Ditto, without meat 1 6
Dinner
2 0
Bedroom (if they have a horse, no
charge is made for bed) 1 0
Attendance (per day) 1 6
I believe most innkeepers will acknowledge that CO,lllmercial travellers are much more difficult to acconla;
date, and give more trouble, than all the other guest,
that fortune brings to their doors ; they are well a`o,lll
what they ought to receive for their money, and sc,s,
not put up with inferior accommodation. They are a!itt
not ashamed or afraid of complaining of anything biro
does not suit them ; the consequence is that they 11
well treated wherever they go.
Having travelled nearly all over England, I am av/dlte,
that the scale of charges I have mentioned is correc
and I think, some allowances being made for the diffe,
er
ence between single and double beds, and with a In°"0.
rate charge for sitting-rooms (according to size), the illy
keepers of England might still be able to keep up to,
credit of their houses, and allow more people of roo
rate incomes the pleasure of seeing their own countrf.
I remain, sir, yours respectfully,
Oct. 3. VIATOO.

THE BIRMINGHAM THEATRE.—Madame Celeste
Mr. Webster have, as they always do where they P. 4
favourites, which includes every town in her majestt
dominions, been most attractive, even in old piese'?
during the whole of the week. Of their performa%e
in The Green Bushes, Flying Colours, &e., &c., 4.
have spoken before many times ' • and all the con'o
dation we were able to offer before was fully to
served on their visit on this occasion. They play
night (Saturday), The French Spy, and Tom Tayl°t
drama, which excited so much interest in the metraj
fis, Masks and Faces. The stars shine on us for a wiLey,
longer, in numerous novelties. On Wednesday,
Webster takes his benefit ; and on Friday, Mad
Celeste announces a similar event on her own bel',..e/
If there be not crowded houses on both occasions,
have fewer friends in this locality than we
pated, or than they deserve. Birming!ccia

PRISONERS' MORALITY.—In the course of buely
we were, a day or two ago, thrown into the compalV
a governor of a prison. He was a very intelligent
communicative man. We were talking, among Od,
things, about the discipline of prisons, and the eon; 01
sation turned upon the conduct, habits, and viesltY
prisoners in general. We congratulated him u1)131; the
opportunity he had in witnessing certain phases °
human character, and, among other questions, we 3,ori
him if he believed that prisoners followed crimiro',
suits from choice or necessity ? He shook his head,,,
with much feeling remarked that the vast majoritYoo
them pursued an iniquitous career from choice, d
thought very few indeed really desired to lead an 111°,,
o
life. He assured us that their hypocrisy was en
mad h
ceeded by the solemn and awful statements 1333 IA
their innocent intentions. " Prisoners with hones', opil
tives," he observed, " are 'like angels' visits, feW 1
far between,' "—Cambridge Chronicle.
