TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Six years have now passed since the Indian
mutiny, and the army of Central India have as yet
received no prize money. Surely there must be
some mistake, for it is not just or equitable that old
soldiers and officers should receive no reward for
their long, patient, wearisome campaign of twelve
months under a burning sun, excepting a silver
medal,

I am, Sir, your-obedient servant,
NOTHING FOR NOTHING.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR'S NEW ORDER

IN CHANCERY.

TO THE EDITOR OP TIIE SUN.

SlR,—The law appears to be very clearly defined
by section 64 of the " Chancery Amendment Act,
1852," that the Lord Chancellor should have imme-
diately after the making and issuing of his order of
the 16th May, 1862 (and which was not published
until the 29th May), laid it for approval before both
Houses of Parliament, and that if either house
should within 36 days thereafter pass a resolution,
resolving that the whole or any part of such order
ought not to continue in force, then that it should
cease to be binding. Whether this order has been
so laid before both Houses of Parliament, as pre-
scribed by the statute, I must leave to hon. and
right hon. members to decide. At all events, it is
to come into operation to morrow, the 18th of Inne,
a day glorious in history, but whether it will be so
for the Lord Chancellor remains to be proved. The
36 days allowed by law, even if reckoned from the
date of the order, will not expire until Saturday,
the 21st inst.-1 am, &c.,

At the --- Club the stakes now played for at
whist exceed even in amount those played at Crockford's
in its palmiest days, and are beginning to attract attention,
as few but those who are gifted with large fortunes and
plenty of ready money can indulge in them.—Court
Journal.

A PLEASING CEREMONY.—A pleasing instance
of the friendly feeling entertained by the Methodists to-
wards the Established Church occured at Walkden Moor,
Woreley, near Manchester, in Whitsun week. On Friday
the Sunday schools connected with the Church, VTesleyans,
and Primitive Methodists, made their annual procession
through the district, amounting in the whole to upwards of
1,200 scholars and teachers. The three schools met in the
centre of the village, when the incumbent, who was head-
ing the Church school, invited the managers of the two
Dissenting schools to unite and sing a hymn together,
which was cheerfully and heartily agreed to, the various
banners being ranged side by side, and the young people
mixing freely one with another. After two hymns had
been sung the incumbent of the district delivered an address
in the open air, in which he exhorted both teachers and.
scholars to value highly the great and blessed privileges
afforded them by the Sunday school, and how it behoved
those who were desirous for the extension of the Redeemer's
kingdom on earth to cultivate a kind feeling for all deno-
minations of Christians, and avoid party spirit, which was
so contrary to that manifested by the blessed Redeemer
while on earth; that the day was fast approaching when
pastors, teachers, and scholars would be standing side by
side before the judgment seat, where all distinctions of sect
and party would be unknown, when each one would have
to give in his account to God. The union of these schoolsan
gave the greatest satisfaction to the inhabitants generally,
who testified their approbation by pronouncin. gteheesrchenaYde
they had that day witnessed as ono of the happiest that
ever happened at Walkden Moor.

The deceased persisted in resting this weight just on the
edge of the building., instead of placing it properly on the
roof, although he had been often cautioned by the foreman
not to do so. This, it was alleged, was the cause of the
ladder being so easily upset, as the weigh; fell with the
ladder. The medical evidence showed that death must
have been instantaneous, from the ribs being completely
driven into the lungs. The jury censured the foreman for
not seeing tht t the ladders were properly secured before he
allowed the men to ascend them, and ultimately returned a
1 verdiot of accidental death,
