Ii will be seen by the following letter from MIS-
FARSuAs, the Principal Matron OF the Female De-
parlmeat OF that Sing-Slpg Prison, that ihe HUTCH
1NsoN FAMILY visited the Prison on Sunday last and
took part in the Chapel services under the direction
Of the excellent Chaplain. a friend who was pre-
sent on the occasion assures that the scene was IN
describablv touching and that the Music (Which
was entirely of religious character) evidently pro-
duced the happest effect upon the prisoners In
the Female Prison My Mothers Bible was sung
amidst The half.sifed sobs of the couvcts and The
tears Of the keepers and spectators. The lnroduc-
toa occasionally OF such exercises, by breaking the
dread monotony of the prisoners life and inspiring
hope in his desparing mind must tend 10 strength
an wholesome discipline al the same time that 1t
will supersede some extent at least, the necessity
Of physical punishment as means OF securing that
important end.
