TIRE PENITEVTIAIti AT NIILLBANK.—ThiIi
building, about which so much has been stated in the reports
of Coroners' Inquests, is, to be immediately. pulled down. It
has been ascertained that the foundation is giving way, and on
.that account, as well as on account of the dangerous damps
• which are known to exist in the prison, a represent W
made to Government by the Committee appointed to inspectation itall.
The result is, that about 400 convicts are to be sent off to New
outh Wales, to make room for the present tenants of the
• Penitentiary, who are forthwith to be sent on board the Bulks.
Four ships are now in readiness to transport the convicts ; one
at Portsmouth, another at the Nore, a third at Sheeiness, and
a fourth at Woolwich. It is expected that they will sail in
about a week. We understand that this plan lies been in con-
templation these twelve months, as Government has been quite
unsatisfied at :the state of the Penitentiary, the instabilitY of
the foundation of which would of itself he an adequate cause
for the removal,
