CITY BITIALETL% • raisrox Wean.—" Passion" or "Holy Week" Commenced yesterday In the services of the Ro man Catholic and Episcopal churches,' with the 'celebration of Palm Sunday. This week is in tended especially to coinmemorete the most im portant epoch in our Saviour's life—His passion, death, and birrial. In the Roman catholic Churches, on "Holy Thursday," two • hosts are consecrated, one of which is placed in a reposi tory, generally situated in some part of the church distant froha the altar, and pious Catho lics spend the day in visitieg the repositories of various churches, and offer/rig up their prayers before the consecra t.l d elm cuts. These repositories are gem' oily 'Paul up by the ladies of the congregations, and are adorned with diamonds, precious stones, flowers, lights, and everything that wealth can bestow ou the occasion. In each church,"aleo, is kept up what is known as the "perpetual adora tion," the priests and aeolytes relieving each other throughout the wbele night, remaining on beaded knees before the collect: noel host. After the intoning of the Gloria in excelsis on Holy Thursday, all instrumeetal music ceases in the choir, and, the services thetwerot tti on this day, on Good Friday, and until after the Kyrie Eleiion has been pronounced by the celebrant of the mass on Holy Saturday (when the Gloria is again intoned), are curried on with vocal music alone. Good Friday is com memorative of the crucifixion, the special service of that day being the adoration of the cross by both priests and people—the fer nier of whom prostrate themselves before the crucified image and remain for some minutes in silent, adoration of the Great Redeemer whom it typifies. No mass is celebrated on this day (the only one in the year on which it is omitted), but the officiating priest consumes the elements that were consecrated on Holy Thursday, and which' have been in the repository until removed there from by him. Holy Saturday is comme morative of . the entombment of our Saviour, and Easter Sunday of his triumphant resurrection from the dead. On Good Friday the altar is stripped of all its adorn ments and looks bare and desolate, the door of the tabernacle Is left open, typifying the absence Of the Holy . Eucharist. o organ peals; no belt is rung; nojoyous anthem ascends from choir or chancel --everywhere appear indices of a spirit of mourning and lamentation. But on Easter Sunday all is changed. Music, lights, flowers, everything that can indicate feelings of joy and a firm faith in the great miracle of the Resurrec tion is observable throughout the church. In the Episcopal churches special services are held during this week,generelly including the Holy Communion on Thursday night. The Easter services are peculiarly grand, the music on the occasion being always made a special feature of the religious exercises. With Holy Saturday the season gf Lent is closed. INTERF.STING TO MANUIPACTUItERS.—The follow ing letter from Commissioner Rollins in regard to the new tax bill will be of interest to manufac turers and tax-payers in general: "Trutninty DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF INTER NAL Ravr.xua, WASHINGTON, April 4, 1868.—Sin: The act of March 31, 1868, exempts from taxa tion all articles, goods, wares and merchandise heretofore liable under the provisions of sections 94 and 95 of the Internal Revenue Law, except gas, mineral oils, wines, maunfActured tobacco, snuff and cigars, cigarettes and cheroots.

He was admitted on the after noon of the 3d inst. At the time he stated that on the previous night he was attacked on Walnut street, near Eighth. He was knocked down and stamped upon, and robbed of his watch. He was suffering greatly from internal injuries, but there were no external bruises visible. The post , mortem examination this morn ing showed that a blood-vessel in ,the abdomen had been ruptured, and death had resulted from the loss of blood caused thereby. The bursting - of the blood vessel, the physicians say, might haVe been caused by a beating or stamping. Coroner Daniels was notified of the death of Clemens, and will Investigate the matter. The deceased was thirty-five years of age, and resided in the neighborhood of Front and Almond streets. HEM' Y STORE ROMIERY.—The store of E. Veyl, at the northeast corner of Eighth and Arch streets, was entered at an early hour yesterday morning through the door on Arch street, which was probably opened by means of false keys. The thieves broke open a drawer, from which they got $2O, but in the selection of plunder cou• fined themselves almost exclusively to the bulk windows, where some of the most costly goods were displayed. Silks, velvets, ribbons, &c., valued at $2,500, were carried off. The robbery must have been committed in a very short space of time. At 63 o'clock A. M. a private watch man tried the store door and it was securely lathed. In less than fifteen minutes afterwards the door was found open by a Sixth District oliceman. Cifeutinin Wins ROLIUZISY.—John Dobbs was before Alderman Morrow yesterday, upon the charge of the larceny ref a pocket book contain ing ail, belonging to Conrad Dunkeiman, the proprietor of a candy-stand at Second and Spruce streets.

The rob bers first got into the seller. Upon attempting to ascend to the kitchen they found the door fastened.

The particulars of the fearful accident which occurred on Tuesday morning at the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company's Diamond Mines, Hyde Park, are published by the Scranton Republican. The accident occurred at 7.05 o'clock in the morning, as the first "car riage" load of miners was on the point of de scending into the "F" shaft leading to tke "E" and "F" veins. On the carriage, which weighs from 5,500 to 4,000 pounds, fifteen men and two boys bad placed themselves. The signal was given to the engineer to put his machinery in motion to raise thesarriage, which is generally raised about a foot, when it settles back upon what are called "fans," which are thrown across the opening to support the carriage. At this time the driving boss, Mr. Patrick (-Patsev") Barrett, said to a son of Mr. Rues T. Evans, the boss miner, l c Get off, I want to go down this time." As he thus spoke, the boy jumped off, Sand Mr. Barrett removed the lever which throws back the "fans" and jumped on. As he did so, the carriage started with the ra pidity of lightning, falling to the bottom of the shaft—a distance of 185 feet:" The sudden start was caused by the breaking of a link eight inches long, of the best of Ulster iron, put hi less than three 'weeks since. There were seven smaller :hike above this before the wire rope commenced. the broken link was picked up at the bottom of the shaft, and was found to be straightened Coat i letely, with the exception of a slight turn at eauli end. This straightening out showed the ienticity of the inn), as only a slight crack was wade in it. on the iuside of the unbroken end. The other end shows the reason of breaking to hove been the imperfect welding of the iron. The link was made of three-quarter-inch Iron, :and hat,. less than half way round the rod, was per tectiv welded. That portion is purely white, and all the rest is blackened, showing that for some leason the weld did not take. When together, the surface evidently seemed perfectly joined at the lap. The wonder is that it held together so long while drawing up tons of weight every day. It, is said by experts that sometimes welds do not take on account of unusually sulphurous coal bring used iu welding, and possibly it was the ease with the weld in question. Bituminous coal is considered better for such operations. One of the employes who stood by at the time of the accident, says that juet after the carriage was raised, and as it Was OD the point of descend ibg, he happened to look up and saw that the lower link was standing crosswise, instead of up and down, and it is thought that when the car riage fell back upon the lane, and the chain Blackened, this link caught, and was thrown and held in that position. Consequently, when the fans were thrown off, the link was probably sud denly jerked into an upright position, and the sudden jerk and strain caused the link to part at the weld. Almost the whole population of Hyde "Park, seemingly, and hundreds from the Scranton side of the river congregated about the mouth of the shaft soon after the accident. Dr. Gibbs was - promptly on the ground, and as each' body was brought up to daylight he made an examination and dressed the wounds as well as It- could then be done. Twelve were killed instantly, and of the five living, three can hardly survive - Weir in juries. • THE COURTS. QIIIARTFAI iEßnows—Judge Brewster. —The April term. of this Court commenced this morn ing. Daniel E. Thompson, Esq., was appointed foreman of the Grand - Jury. Judge Brewster,. in instructing the Jury as to their duties, said : Gentlemen of the Grand Jury:—There is no case upon the calender which calls for any special instruction; but •as it ex hibits 195 commitments, and there aro probably three times as many •bail cases, we are admon ished, at the outset of Our labors, of the necessity of strict attention to and an earnest despatch of the public business. Where you are satisfied upon a statement of a plutzle witness that the easels proper for investi- THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.-PRILADELPHIA, MONDAY APRIL 6 1868. gation by a petit jury, you need not waste time by hearing more, but may at once return a true bill. Where all the witnesses fail to make out a ease you will endorse the indictment "ignoratn us;" and if it charge a misdemeanor you must decide whether the county or the prosecutor —naming him—shall pay tho costs. ln all cases the return must be signed by your foreman. You can save the county a large expenditure, and parties and the petit jury a great consump tion of valuable time, by ignoring petty cases in which the public have no interest and which have been sent to court to make costs. It would hardly be believed that Abe criminal law is resorted to every clay,in hundreds of cases, without justification. Yet this is literally true. By the, report of Mr. Mullen, tbo Prison Agent for 1867, it appears that while the arrests iu this city were during that year. nearly 1,000 a week, only 8,861 ever reached the Grand Juries. Of these. less than one•tenth were convicted. It would seem, therefore, that of all the persons arrested only' about one in every seventy•six is guilty, and that of all the bills of indictment sublirittsd to the Grand Jury only one iu every ten result in a conviction. Whilst you cannot with safety reject bills for larceny. forgery, arson, homicides and offences of a serious grade, you. can on the other hand Serve the public treasury by ignoring nine out of ten of the assaults and batteries and minor offence& Notwithstanding euggestions to this effect from the Court, I have known a grand jury to return a true bill for larceny against a man who had borrowed a step ladder, and iu another case true bills were returned upon cross complaints of as sault and battery by two women who encoun tered each others brooms while sweeping a gutter. IL is a reproach to justice that parties who have C 9868 of real merit should be kept waiting in court whilst our time is occupied with foolish complaints and groundless accusations returned as , true bills.. I earnestly recommend you to ig nore all such indictments. Another subject demands your attention. We prefers to be a civilized community, and to treat our criminals according to law. Unfortunately this is only profession. We practice that which is a disgrace to civilization and a violation of our statutes. Our Eastern Penitentiary anti County Prison are so overcrowded that the Inspectors hesitate whether they shall violate the law by refusing or by.receiving mere prisoners. In the male convict department of the county prison, 425 convicts profess to be undergoing solitafy confinement in 195 cells. By a report of the clerk of the Board, enclosed to me by Mr. James A. Freeman, one of the Inspectors, it appears that eighty-nine cells are ° each occupied by 2 convicts; 63 cells, are each occupied by :1 convicts. and ^ cells are each occu pied by 1 convicts. This condition of affairs is daily growing worse, and is:a palpable, though unavoidable violation of the law regnirinir sepa rate imprisonment. There is over-crowding in the other wards of that prison and in the Eastern Pen iten titiry. ,• If we look at this subject in the light of hu manity its condenmation is, if possible, still stronger. At my request one of these cells was measured, and it is reported to me .that it con tains but 1 , :t5 cubic feet. From this is of course to be deducted the space occupied by the bodies of prisoners and the hei.s and furniture of the cells. The coils liktly to result from the break ing out of a pestilence in such an establishment may easily be conjectured. Injuries to morals and violations of nature and decency of which complaint has been made to me br a pristner,of a character which will not hear public repetition ate unfortunately matters of sad truth and no conjecture. I therefore recommend that you Grit the prison as Soon as possible, and that you make such presentment of the'ficts as will invoke the proper,letion for the remedy of these great trils. Petit Juror were called and excuses heard, after Which, Sandford McCalla was put on trial charged with perjury. in swearing to a bill' of costs in the Common Pleas. The ease was not concluded.
