- A BELGIAN PRISON. The Journal de Bruzeller publishes na nocoup of the official visit paid by members of the Medical Nolence Congress to the famous deliulur prises at Louvain. The establishment may with justion be regarded as the most complete type of the system of solitary confinement that the world affords. Belgium is thecountry which has adopted with the greatest enthusiasm and with the least possible' modifications this severe form of penitentiary discipline, and, hitherto,it must be confeased, with marvellously good results. The system, as to the merits of which Bu many controversies have been waged, ie not yet quite a century old. The fret institution where it was introduced in any perfection we the old prison at Gazide, where, în according with the anggentina of Lord Howard, the ansient régime was supplemented by one in which the prisoners were isolated and provided with co- pulsory labour. The Napoleonic wars swept Away this establish inent, and for time the new prison discipline was carried ous only in a desultory maner in senso of the States of America. Thence it found TES way to England, and passed again into Belgium, where it was destined to find an ouger, welcome, and appa- rently a permanent abode. The envain prison is of very large extent, and situate at sons distance from the town in the cheerful vicinity of the cowzion coetery. It contains 660 separate cells, besides the chapel, infirmary, donating-rome, and offices. The important teak of surveillanec, upon which the whole regins is based, ie parformed by 32 tecpors or guarde, whoan services are chiefly required during the hour which is allowed to each pri- Boner for bis solitary promenade.
