maker in Holywell-street, and the two male prisoners,

house, -whilst the woman kept watch up a court where
some of the prisoners lived.

four years' penal servitude, and the others to 12 months

THE MAIL PACKITS.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY.

The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Parana, Cap-
tain Hast, arrived this morning, about nine o'clock,
from the Thames, where she has been undergoing ex-
tensive alterations and repairs. The result of her run
round is highly satisfactory, and there is no doubt that
the Parana will be equal to most of the fastest ships in
the fleet.

The Tay has also arrived from Portsmouth, and the
completion of her repairs will be proceeded with imme-
diately.

The Clyde-built screw-steamer Barwon lying in the
East India Docks, has had her name changed to that of
the Alma. She has also been taken up by Government,
and will he placed at the disposal of the War Office for
the conveyance of the whole of the staff officars ordered
fur the Black Sea.
