ALTERATION IN THE HOUSE or Commoiss.—We ara

glad to pee that Mr. Laurie, M.P. for Barnstaple, has
called the atit.ntioti of the house and the public to useful
and practical improvements. He found the formation
of the house and its benches as anything but favourable
to the speakers, who are imperfectly beard, and he pro•
duced a rough plan of his own to the Chief Comenihaioner
of Works and to Sir CLII;. Barry, who highly approve
of the suggestion; and we hope, for the sake of all
parties, the hon. member's plan will be adopted. If so,
he will have the merit of reforming the House of
Commons.

RAILWAY COMMUNICATION BETWEEN MANCHESTER
AND LONDON. —At a meeting on Monday of the General
!Purposes Committee of the Manchester Council, it was
lre,olved, " that without desiring in any way to enter
tint) the di•Tutes which have arisen between the com-
!petiug railway companies, this committee is of opinion
'that a second railway communication, with undivided
'responsibility, between this city and London, would be
a great public advantage ; and they recommend the
'council to present a petition in favour of legalising the
union between the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln-
shire, and Great Northern Rsil say Companies."
CUURCII OF ENGLAND YOUNG MEN'S SOCIETY.—Oa
i Monday evening list, the 12th inst., the tenth mini-
, v.rsary meeting of the Ea-t London Bratch of this
society was held at the Beaumont Institution, Mile
End. The Hon. G. H. Byng, M.P., occupied the
chair till nine o'clock, when he was succeeded by P. G.
Dodd, Esq. The audience of mere 1,100 persons,
seemed deeply interested in the proceedings of the ever-
log. Aft r the report had been read the chairman (Mr.
Byng) expressed his hearty approval of all contained in
it, and was glad to perceive that such a healthy, social,
and intelligent tone pervaded thu operations of
the society. He was sure that all present
would be persuaded that the conduct of
this society proved that religion was no gloomy
asceticism, and he doubted not, that founded as it was
on a sound religious basis, this excellent institution
would continue to progress and prosper. He was followed
by the Revs. Canon Champneys, R. Parnell, and W.
M Call, who delivered very instructive addresses on
" Habit," "The Noblest Work c f God," and "Anni-
versaries.' Alter a vote of thanks to the chatiur_nuataon,
which was responded to by Mr. Dodd who c:unngr_ar.

sub:ol such had taken place the plan should be no
longer carried into practice. After M. Wentzel
fuel developed his proposition, M. Reichensperger,
of the Catholic party, said that if the State applied
that system, the prisoners ought to be separated
according to their religious creeds. The Minister
of the Interior observed that after ISIB the ques-
tion of the cellular system was most carefully
examined by G )vernment, at the express wish
of the King. Not!ina, however, was done until
18,50, when Dr. Wicaren of Hamburg was called
on to direct its introduction, and the result of the
first experiments was most favourable. Before,
however, a bill should be presented on the subject,
the Government wished to have a further examina-
tion into the matter. He should consequently
oppose the amendment of M. Wentzel, as being
a vote of mistrust, and calculated to impede the
execution of the measures contempla'ed by the Go-
vernment. The discussion afterwards turned on
matters of religion, which was checked by the Pre-
sident, Count Schwerin, who said that bonoura.e
members appeared to have forgotten that the
the thecel-
lular
sub-
ject under discussion was not religion, but
system. The amendment of 111. Wentzel was
ultimately put to the vote and !ejected.
