THE CONVICT PEIMON AT WOEINO .—Lallt week Mr.
C. J. Woods, the coeoner for the western division of the
county, he d an inquest at the convict prison, Keep Hill,
on the bodies of three coorieta. The cases of themselves
were simple caner, end it was clear to all that the three
into bad died from natural cause. ; but the investigation
was a very protracted one. and lasted upwards of fine hours.
It was eettleat'y the Moieties of the coroner to brim before
the jury the entire system carried out in the prison, and to
make them acquainted with the exact manner in which the
minvicts were treated. This course was most probably
adopted in consequence of the very startling statements
made by a convict named Jarvis. who was convicted at
the present Croydon Assizes of stabbing a Scripture
reader at the prise°. The governor (Captain Warren),
the surgeon (Dr. Campbell), the assistant surgeon
(Mr. Blake* the chaplain (Rev. Mr. Blathwayte),
with other racers and several convicts, were summoned
as witneues, and examined on the different points men-
tined by Jarvis, and in no instance was anything adduced
which corroborated a single particle of his extraordinary
story. The bill of fare for each day was submitted to the
jury, and excited their astonishment, clearly evidencing that
the cc:micas fared better than the hardwolkieg men outside
the walls; whilst the dietary_ of the poor in the different
unions is not more than half as substantial. The dietary
for sick convicts is exceedingly libels!, sod they are allowed
comforts which nien in a respectable condition in society
scarcely expect to es joy, inoludieg, for example, steaks, chops,
jollier, wines, and other luxuries. When is the refractory cells
convicts are expected to reply to the warder every three hours,
and if they do not give nom reply to his summons they ate
visited be two warders. Thee is adopted in consequesee of
the prevalence°, suicides amongst the refractory gaol-bird'.
Of the abominable °fleeces so frequently alluded to by
Jarvis, it appears that there is only cue ow on the prison
records. The impression which existed in the minds of the
whole of the jury appeared to be that the convicts WWI)
too well treated by half, and that they fared much better
than the mechanics and labourers who contribute to main-
tain these gently is idleness. The jury retuned a verdict
of "Died from natural causes" in each of the oases shaded.
to, sod they were then discharged. The keit@ which Jarvis
abed against the Scripture reader is preserved at the pet-
son, sod iestead of it. being the small instrument described
by him, it bee a blade of more thee four inches in leregth.
We are informed that the directors el the prima have bate
carryieg out a strict investigation in eousequence of the
stetemsot of Jarvis, and that they hove arrived at the orm-
elusion that the chaps he made were totally Wounded.—

NOVEL FETE AT LLANDUDNO. A novel water
fete, otgaiii,ed by Mr. Hurley, of Liverpool, took pll.Oll at
Llandudno, on Saturday evening. The whole of the houses
facing the sea were lit up, and numbers of boats elegaotly
decorated, and filled with ladies bearing coloured latripiots,
formed a procession sod sailed around the bey. The rocks i
surrounding the town were brilliantly illuminated, and a j,
carnival was held on the sands by thousands of visitors
carrying variegated lanterns of every possible hue. Buriegl,

leg of the shareholders of this brink, which was held at
Liverpool, and it was resolved to allot 10,0J0 of the shares
of the hank to the Loudon Bank of Scotland in place of
the 22.000 previously agreed upon. The chairman then
gave a leagtheeed explanation respecting the present posi-
tion of the bank. He odd that the bet profits last half-
year' after dedueting all expenses, were 12,103 t., while the
bad ,debts shim that period would not amount to 4,0001.
Their total losers amounted to 9A,000/., and in his opinion
31. a share would more than suffice to meet all possible end
ascertained contingencies up to the simnel meeting in Janu-
ary or. February next. Mr. Moult, one of the directors, said
he had made as independent audit of the amounts, end he
was decidedly of opinion that all their lanes would not
amount to more than 21. or 21. 10.. per share. A vote of
