A large convict prison, designed as a substitute I for the present mode of locating convicts on board hulks in , the harbour, is now being completed at Portsmouth. At its' commencement, as was noticed at the time in the columns of the E.tpress, the inhabitants of the borough mani fested much opposition and repugnance at the location of a large number of convicts on shore, and in the midst of a dense population, but this opposition has since sub ' sided, although much of the repugnance remains, and the Hume-office has proceeded with the rapid erection of the building. The prison is situated at „ the south-cast boundary wall of the dockyard, with which it will have means of egress and ingress fur the con- , 'jets employed in that establishment: the site of the build ing being that formerly occupied by tho Old L iboratory. It is constructed to accommodate about 1,000 prisoners; and the obji et of this substitution of a prison for hulks is understood to be the necessity for exercising a larger amount of discipline and authority over the convicts than is rt:tr bl e7o o n n ot preve i n h t iP iomm T u h n e ica a communications being ts c o a n rr b in r o d n thee tween the inmates of the different cells ; consequently very serious or-anisations and ~ a seures have frequently arisen, and whi ch required a strong military force to quell. In the new prison each convict will be com pletely and effectually separated from all communication of any kind with his fellow prisoners, whilst any one of them inclined to be refractory will be under the 'consist. control 011ie oaken, awl se be sebeseted to lie sisibis perish mast without ltWranos or annoyance from others. The cells being well ventilated, and every other regard being paid to good sanitary arrangements, the prisoners will cer tainly be free from the unhealthy influences inseparable from living on board confined and damp hulks. Thus it is considered that while the necessity will be met of really making the convicts term of imprisonment, what it is de signed to be—a punishment—by means of strict discipline and full control on the part of the officers, on the other hand he will be freed from the pernicious conditions in which he is at pre s ent placed. The above are the alleged reasons for this change in con vict location, but by some it is believed to be only the com mencement of a comprehensive plan for meeting the diffi culties arising from the objections of the colonists to con victs being sent amongst them, by establishing a series of convict prisons or " homes," as they have been called throughout this country, for retaining felons in. The plan of the new building comprises an cast and west wing, between which are situated kitchens, cooking, wash ing, and other domestic offices. To the north of these is a „ chapel, and to the east the residences of the governor, chaplain, and other officers. The whole of the buildings ' are of brick, and are surrounded by lofty walls. The walls of each wing arc roofed over with slates, having a range of sky , lights on each side. Down the entire centre of each wing is a spacious corridor, having the prisoners' cells on either side and opening into it: the west wing is 292 feet long, the east wing 236, both being 36 feet wide. There are four tiers of cells, each cell 7 feet by t, and 7 feet in height, on both aides of the corridor. All the cells are fitted with a desk, for writing or reading, a seat, haluinock, and shelves. The divisions between the cells arc of a very simple, and, both as far as space and, cost arc concerned, of a very eco nomical character, being formed of plates of strong " cos , regaled " iron. The ceiling of the under cell and the floor of that above it are at once termed of a plate of stout slate. The upper tiers of cells open on to light iron galleries, reached by flights of stairs of the same material. Some of the cells are supplied with light by glazed openings in , the wall, whilst others derive it from the corridor. Warm air is forced into the corridors from proper apps , rates, finding its way into the cells, and expelling any foul • air that may be generated through apertures provided for the purpose. In addition to these cells there arc 40 punish ' ment cells in course of construction, each 10 feet by 6, and 0 feet in height. The contractors fur the entire building are Messrs. Piper, of Gordon, and the work has been car ried on under the direction of Colonel Jebb, the Home . office Inspector ut Prisons. The immediate superintendence of the building has been confided to Mr. C. J. Woolcutt. • the government clerk of the works. It has been constructed with great rapidity, nit haling been six months in course - of erection ; and by the Ist of October it is expected that the larger wing will be occupied by prisoners. IRELAND. Duncix.StrT. 16. Various rumours arc Oust which would leadone to believe that the Treasury will deal more leniently with the distressed Irish unions thun was expeetea. The Clare journal of yesterday says: We have reason to hopo that the strong remonstrance made by this country against levying the consolidated annuities at present will not he in vain. We have been given to understand that the annuity will not be added to the pentlin; rata. We arc not aware, however, that th• . . re-ponsiliiiity Las been withdrawn from the union treasnrcrs of impounding a portion of tile rites to meet this claim. hut of course this order must b, withdrawn, as otherwi,e the fact of the annuity nut being included in the rate would only tend still further to enharo.s the unions, there being no guarantee that the monies collected fur support of the poor may not be abstracted by government, thus renihrhig it imperative on the boards of guarliaas to strike other rates " ' • ' • " much ember than would otherwise be required, or leave their !simpers to starve. The following correspondence, which appears in the L'aniny 'rail, will be read with some interest : GALWAY, SLI.T. 13.—There has been splendid harvest weather wherever I have been daring this week, and speaking generally I may say the crops arc safe in the greater part of the counties of Cork and Limerick, and along the coast from the latter city to this town. The oats arc universally good, and a good crop, us are also the tur nips. Potatoes also, as tar 39 I could see or learn, are bat little injured. Their tops generally look better than they do in the eastern counties, although they are somewhat prematurely withered. The only district in which I heard complaints was about Ennistymon, and even there they were neither loud nor deep. The potatoes I have seen at table have been generally remarkably good. A good deal of change iv observable ia one respect, which would not strike a stranger so much as a person who was timiliar with the appearance of the south and west of Ireland a few years aince-1 allude to the almost total disappearance of She potato gardens. There are large betas, but no cottiers' patches to be seen ; and, indeed, much fewer cottiers' cabins. But where those lat ter arc visible, their gardens are usually stocked with cabbages, turnips, or parsnips, or even beans, but no potatoes. A great improvement in the appearance and mode of culture of the fields is also manifest, although muck still remain to be done in that direction. About this town there are marked signs of revivification, although it is impossible to look at the great capabilities of the locality without feeling deep regret at their neglect, and still more, at the irregular and ill-directed attempts in course of being made for their development. I crossed the noble bay yes terday, but, with the exception of a few Connemara turf boats and the revenue cruises, not a sail was to be seen. On the other hand, the streets are torn up and the bridges dilapidated by the labours of the Board of Works, who have been attempting for several years to form a canal from Lough Corrib to the sea, and who have succeeded in' bringing their work to a most strange stage of imperfection. After the canal was made. it was discovered that it was not deep enough ; and now the whole operation is in course of being gone over again in such a manner as will ensure a very governmental condition of frailty to the structure. There is much disappointment felt here at the cushioning of the transatlantic packet question by the Mansion-house committee, for that they do mean to cushion it is the prevalent opinion. Lord Campbel has become the pea pricier of the estate of the late Master A. 11. Lynch, near this town. His lordship was a large incumbrancer on rho property. A CRIMINAL'S LtPL—The Court of Assizes of tho Ariege tried a few days ago a band of thirteen persons fur coming and passing false money. The money was made by part of the hand at Carla do Roquefort, and was put into circulation by the others who were engaged is different branches of business. The pieces manufactured were those of lfr., 2fr., and str. of France, and 20 fr. and 40fr. of Sar dinia. All were executed with great skill. Six of the ac cused were acquitted ; five of the others were condemned to from six to twenty years hard labour at the hulks, and • two to six and eight years' imprisonment with hard labour. The chief of the band, Bedrede Titi, who was sentenced toy twenty years hard labour at the hulks, has had a life full of adventure .—ln 1831 he entered a regiment of dragoons; though without any schooling he managed to pick up a tolerable knowledge of scientific matters. Having become disgusted with the service he deserted, but was arrested and condemned by a court martial to three years' imprison ment with hard labour. After serving half the time, be was pardoned, and sent to a regiment in Africa. He was shipwrecked on the coast of Corsica, and de serted again. lie went disguised into Spain, and there started with an Englishman a paper for incul cating the art of cutting coats on a new plan. Ho nest set ea foot a scheme for establishing a pAalanster• on a gigantic stale, but it failed. He then went to Madrid, and lived some time by giving legions. Returned to France, he passed himselfoff as a grandee of Spain, forced to seek a refuge in exile for political motives. Ho was discovered and fearing a very severe condemnation for having twice deserted, caused himself to be arrested as a rogue and raga. bond. On his was found a false passport and some skeleter keys.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIS DAY, OLD COMM. —Boa's ML Jtsucc TALFOURD ADD Maws Mwrity. PORT•OFFICE ROBBERY. Joseph Bream, 2s, a post-office letter-carrier, was indicted for stealing a post letter containing a sovereign and a shil ling, the property of the poatniastir.general. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Ba'teatime. It appeared, front the evidence for the prosecution, that the prisoner was employed as what is called an auiiliary letter-carrier in tho Highgate district, and, in consequence of complaints that reached the Post-office authorities with regard to the non-delivery of letters in that district, Mr. Sculthorpe, one of the presidents of the Pat-office, made up a letter, addressed to Wisbeach, in Cambridgeshire, in which he placed a sovereign and a shilling, both of which coins were marked. This letter was posted by Peake, the Post-o ffi ce constable, at Highgate, and, upon the Highgate bag coming to the General lust-offiee, in due course, it was found that the letter in question was not in it, and therewas no mention made of such a letter in the bill that aeons nied the letters. Mr. Sculthorpe immediately proeeedea to Ifighgate, accompanied by Peake, and the prisoner was taken into custody, end on being searched the marked coins were found in his possession. It appeared in the course of the case that the wages paid to the prisoner wise tkirtaaa' ebilliop per week, sad ibis was all that bo bad to Watt epee, with the exception of a sum of three 'aniline per week, which he earned occasionally fur doing a portion of the duty of another letter-currier. Mr. Ballantine ' in his address to the jury, said it would be impassible for him to attempt to deny that the offence had been established against the prisoner, but at the same time he said le: must observe that the small amount of sa lary he received appeared to hint utterly inadequate to enable him to support himself in a resreetable manner, and although he was perfectly aware that this was not in the least a justification of the offence, he trusted it would be taken into consideration by the jury, and that they would give such a recommendation with their verdict as would enable the court to pass a sentence that would not be calculated utterly to destroy the unfor tunate prisoner. Several gentlemen residing at Highgate gave the prisoner an excellent character, and stated that he had always per formed hi, duties with regularity and correctne-s. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but strongly recommended the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the court. B trun Martin, in passing sentence, said that the offence of stealing letters was one of very greet magnitude, and the poorer elutes were the principal sufferer. With regard to the amount of wages received by the prisoner, lie did not thiuk it had anything to do with the case. He knew the salary he wan to r,ceive, and if he chose to undertake the duty he was bound to perform it faithfully, and the smallness of his wages did not afford the least exeuse fur on act of this description. The statute can powered him pass a sentence of trimportation for life, but taking into cuil.ideration the recommendation to mercy of the jury, he should not go to that extent, but should only pass upon him a sentence of transportatiou fur ten year. HEALTH OF LONDON I)UIUNO TILE WEEK (From the =Mal new rt.) London is as healthy as is mull at this season of the year. 1,026 di idle; were registered in the week. The average number of deaths in the corresponding week of the ten years 1811-40 was I,ltrl ; ur 1,000 if we correct far in crease of population, and exclude 2,864 deaths in the second week of September 1819, when the cholera was epidemic. In the last week there was adeath every 10 minutes in Lon don; hut the population is now about 2,1:41,000, and the niortality is therefore ut the rate of one is 2,3'41 weekly. The births were 1,429, and exceeded the deaths by 101; the population is inen.asing partly by immigration at the rote of 42,00) a year, or 800 weekly. 434 mules and 491 female,. died. The ages of four per sons were not cc-permit ; 198 only were of the eve of GI and upwards, 3 "41 were in the prime of lire, au.l dGi were chit dress who had not attained the ago of id. Of the 1,026 deaths, i 2. occurred uu the north, 301 on the south side of the Thames. 72 persons died iu hospitals, 0 in lunatic asylum., 93 in workhouses. 4 in prisons., 7 in military cud naval hospitals, anti Bin military and naval asylums. No persons died in the hospitals for fort igners. Dian hies, stintmer cholera, and liver are the prevailing disea , es ; fever is increasing; cholera is slowly, diuretics rapidly, tbeiStiog. The deaths in the last three weeks were 28, 17. 17 from cholera, and 174, 192, 101 from diarrhea. 21 men and women died of that painful disease —cancer, and 119 of consumption. am! 31 of heart 6 women died in childbirth. 49 violent deaths are re. portal. The births of 731 boys and 6941 girls, in all 1,129 c'aildr.m, were registered in the week. average M six corre sponding weeks in 1815-50 was 1,292. At the Royal Observatory, Orecnwich, the mean reading of the barometer during the w,c k ending Sate7day, the 13th of September, was 3130'1 in. Tho mean temperature of the week was 47.1 deg.; the atmosphere was cold fur the season, and 1.4 deg. less than the avetage of tho same week in ten years. Ties lowest reading of the th.clautnzter during the week was 37.6 deg. WI Wednesday, and the higlteot on Saturday, 72.1, showing a range of about 3 degrees. No rain tell during the week. The mean direc tion of the wind was north-east. Mr. Child, the registrar of Norwood sub-district, states, that " diarrhicA is prevalent in the dlstriet, more particu larly in localities inhabited by the lower classe!, and these who keep swine in close confined places." MR. DtsaaEtt is to meet his constituents at :kyles bury this afternoon, on the iuvitation of the Royal Buck Agricultural Society. DEaTItUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION.—Yeatcrday oven• ing a tiro of a mo-,t destructive character broke out in the storehouses of Itlessrs. Ilay, Anderson, and Sangster, nur sery and seedsinen of Kennington, and In leis than forty minutes nearly the whole range of buildings, with their con tents, amounting to several thousand pounds in value, wore utterly destroyed. TILE FATAL FIRE AT ROTIIERUAR.--The coroner's inquest on view of the remains of Mrs. Ann Nicholson, of Rotherham, aged 82, and Jane Taylor, her infant grand-daughter, whose deaths were caused by the contla gration on the premises of the deceased Mrs. Nicholson, the landlady of the Black Morse Inn, was commenced at the 1 Court-house, Rotherham, on Monday evening, but the evidence heard failed to throw much light on the origin of tho fire, and the inquest was adjourned to Thursday week, to give time for inquiry by the police. - - GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The dimtors having assumed possession of the Kennet and Avon Canal have been over it to make the necessary traffic arrangements for working it in connexion with the railway, to commence on Monday next. READING, GUILDFORD, AND REIGATE RAILWAY. —The direeors, in the report to be submitted to the half ' yearly general meeting, state that since the last meeting the bond debt of the company has been reduced to the sum of 8,0001., by the payment of a debenture of 5,0001., which became due on the lith of August last. The remaining bonds will mature on the 16th of October, 18.52, and the amount is duly provided for. At a meeting held on the 12th March, 1850, the line was leased to the South Eastern ; Company, at a guaranteed dividend of 51 per cent. per annum, on a share capital of 600,000/., and 4 per cent. on a loan capital of 200,0001., equal to an annual rent of 41,0001. The half-yearly rent (20,5001.) due on the 15th inst., has in due course been paid by the South Eastern Company into the London end Westminster Bank, the bankers of the company. The capital account has been closed. It amounted to 800,0001., all of which has been received, with the exception of 5371. due on forfeited shares, and this is said 1 to be "obtainable." The revenue socount,which u madcap to the 15th inst. shows gross receipts for the half-year to the amount of 20,2941. 7s. 9,1. Of this sum 1911. 12s. is a pre vious balance, and 19,902/.ls. Bd. is from the South Eastern CemPany. 5971 18s. 441. being deducted for income tax from the 20,5001. The expenditure during the same period has been 7291. 18s., leaving the sum of 19,564/. 9s. 95. available for dividend. No specific rate of dividend is recommended in the report, but th.s balance would afford one of 9s. 9d. per share, and leave a small balance to be carried to the next account. This, therefore, is the dividend which will probably be declare d. The accounts ere certified by Mr. J. F. Bacon, the auditor. The line is 451 miles in length from a junction with the Great Western at Reading, intersecting the London and South Western at Farnborough, on to Guildford, and thence to a junction with the South Eastern Company at Reigate. DISTRESSING DEATH.—Yesterday Mr. Carter, the Surrey coroner, held an inquest at the Jolly Gardeners Tavern, Lambeth•walk, on the body of Mr.:Henry Applebf, aged 60, the receiver-general for the Earl of Mornuagton. On Friday last, Messrs. Amain& and Matthews, the proprie tors of the White Hart Brewery, in Wood-street, West minster, seat out two men with a dray of beer, part of which was to be delivered to the Lion Brewery, a bee in Lambeth-walk. Whilst the men were busily taking the casks into the cellars, a lad jumped cos to the back of one of the horses, and in one instant the saings took fright and roe towards Doughty-street.

Two o'CLoirzt With the close of the account, business in the share market is not so active to-day, and prices being uninfluenced by the operations for a fall, usual of late, show rather more buoyancy upon the whole. In Lancashire and York shires and Midlands a considerable improve ment has occurred, whilst most other :descrip tions are steadily supported. South Eastern, mark 181 to f,, business in this stock being quiet, in anticipation of the proceedings at the meeting ad vertised for to-morrow. MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocx. The movement in the market for the home funds to-day has been entirely confined to a moderate busi ness in Consols. Under the influence of the opera- tion of the National Debt the quotation stood at an early period of the day at a further improvement of 4, but the market has since become slightly weaker, and the present range is identical with that which ruled at the close of yes terday's market. The operations continue to be chiefly for cash, speculation being very sluggish. Consols openea 96 to I for money, and 96- to for the account, and are now called 954 to 96 for cash, and 4 more for the 14th Oct. The business report embraces only : Three per Cent. Consols, 964, 95, 964, 954; ditto for account, 994, 96. There is little movement in the market fur the un funded securities, but as an idea prevails that the tendency of the money market will be towards greater stringency for the next month or so, it is probable that realisations may offer. At this period in next month, however, the large mass of government dividends will be payable. and will ma ! teriallytend to case the market. he various divi dends in course of payment about to become due on railway shares and foreign stocks: must also be kept in consideration, as in the aggregate they sum up a very important amount. Exchequer Bills of all classes have been dealt in I to a moderate extent at yesterday's rate of 445. to 475. prem. In India Bonds nothing is doing. The foreign stock market is dull, and the opera-, tions in all descriptions are of a trivial character.l Mexican Bonds meet with little business, at 26! to Spanish Bonds also attract little attention, and there appears a growing feeling among the dealers of the hazard of holding these bonds, with such a government as Spain at present possesses. A great deal of uneasiness has been created amonf. the bondholders by the discourag i ng statements of the revenue receipts, which for the first seven months of the present year amount in round numbers to 6,385,000/. only. The statement of the expenditure for the same period being 7,850,000/., a deficit of no less than 1,465,000/. is exhibited, which may be expected to go on increasing the rest of the year. The tbllowing is to day's business list :—Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 551, ; Equador Bonds, 31, 3. Mexican, 26Z, .4; ditto for account, 30th September, 20. Russian Five per Cents., 111; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1011. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 201; ditto for account, 20,1; ditto Passive, ; ditto Three per Cents., 304. The business transacted in the market for foreign exchanges yesterday was far from extensive, the de mand fur bills at present rates being rather limited. The general tendency was upwards, and quotationsl on the principal plams were again a shade higher. Short Paris ruled at 25.15 to 17?; ditto 3 months, 25.30 to 35. Amsterdam fully maintained its former 'mice of 11.191 to nearly 12 florins. Hamburg left off 13.91 to . 1. Bills on Italy were in no great de mand, and negotiations took place in favour of buyers. Madrid continues in request at 49Z, but Lisbon and Oporto were hardly so much looked for. St. Petersburg found buyers at 37, to 3-It, but there was very little paper in the market. Vienna and Trieste were a shade tower, but buyers were by nu means spirited, and preferred waiting for further accounts front the tither bide. The following are the rates negotiated : Ilzue. 111. ms negotiated. From To Amsterdam per ~C Mort 11f1. IS late.... 1111. Ititdv. liato Woterdom lionitoug and Altana „ . I.kroo. s9,‘ leaki., rime..

The price of bar silver is merely nominal. The market is passive at present, and there is little prospect of any great demand for silver. It is ob served that although France ::!id Germany are now receiving direct imports of gold, the supplies of silver come entirely to this market. Some interest has been excited by a hint in yesterday's Erpreßs, that the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com pany may, in consequence of recent events, put on a steamer from Singapore to Australia. As this would have a preference in conveying the gold bullion, the ultimate effect has been matter of speculation. Some seem to think that gold may be diverted to the Eastern markets, but as silver is chiefly in demand in those quarters, and must be supplied from Lon don, others think the gold will be remitted here in bulk. Front a desire of realising it is expected like wise that gold will be consigned here direct, the commercial connections of Sydney being with this market. A strong impression prevails among prac tical parties that the gold deposits in Australia will be found on a large scale. From Paris there was no news of changes. Prices in the several markets were good and bullion up held. The American news is of no importance. Further details of the Indian intelligence arc anxi ously expected. - - ENOLE3II PET7I33.—Tm4 DAY.

A rather remarkable feature of the present period, and one that is interesting, as showing the unflagging vigour with which mining enterprise is tiring prose cuted, is the steady demand experienced for English copper, tin, and lead miners, which in some instances in the mining districts has of late led to the partial abandonment of some of the workings, and in many cases has induced complaint from the mining cap tains. The numerical strength of this class of men, many of whom are distinguished for a large amount of sound practical science in matters appertaining to their line of employment, does not appear to be mate rialle on the increase, and in view of the number whoaro • continually leaving this coun:ry to turn their skill to advantage in the mines of California, South Ame rica, Jamaica, Cuba, Mexico, Spain, the United States, and other quarters. it is by no means improbable that mining labour generally, especially of the higher class, may become more sought after, and, as a natu ral consequence, more difficult to be obtained. An other consideration worthy of remark is, that the foreign demand for this species of labour draws off the best and most experienced workmen only, who are usuallyplaced in apceitimi of trust and authority. Of the discovery of gold in Australia, and that too in considerable quantities, not the least doubt can now be entertained, the only question being as to the extent of the region in which the prceiovs metal is to be found ; and should the opinion provo correct that the entire or a large portion of the ba sin of the Murray is equally productive, us some be- Here to be the case, another important outlet for mining labour will be thrown open which may have considerable influence on the labour market. This will more especially be felt at the Australian copper mines, which will most assuredly be de serted by a larg,e portion of the workmen. With the full confirmation of the gold news, Aus tralian gold mining associations will certainly start up here, and probable in many different quar ters, as the repugnance felt to embarking capital in socieics, whose agents and workmen are de fkilo beyond the control of the shareholders, in a country where the restraints of law are little fcht, as in the case of California, will no longer be experienced. Gold mining in Australia will thu.. be commenced in a much more reliable manner than on the coast of the l'acitic, as the mighty power of joint-stock en terprise, and all the appliances of science and mire cluuicul skill, will be equally directed to a successful issue.
