ashamed to give them an order to visit Newgate,
because I have thought that the intelligence of the
age as regards the prevention of crime has not been
properly exercised. I have invariably said to them,
" Don't go to Newgate ; go to Holloway, where you
will see a pri son that reflects honour upon the
country." I think it our duty to adapt Newgate for
females in the same manner as arrangements have
_ been made with regard to males. I have great
pleasure in supporting the motion.
Alderman ROSE said he was most anxious that
the whole subject should be taken into considera-
tion. The alterations lately effected in Newgate
had made it the most complete, as it was the most
modern, prison in the country. The expenditure

the matter would not be re-
ferred to a committee.

_. Alderman GABRIEL decidedly disapproved of the
expense proposed to be incurred in altering the
gaol. An expense of £lO,OOO ought not to be in-
rural). for the accommodation of a dozen or 15
women.

Alderman LAWRENCE said he should like to ask
the governor of Newgate what was the average
number of female prisoners in the gaol.

Mr. WEATHERIiEAD—From 5 630. Those are
;he extremes. There are 17 rooms.
Alderman SIDNEY replied.
The motion was carried.

Adjourned.

The stationary ships inPortsmouth harbour have
struck lower yards and topmasts for the winter.
The Urgent, 6, iron steam troopship Commander
M'Donald, at Portsmouth, has hauled out of the
steam basin and gone to 'the dockyard jetty to pre-
pare for the embarkation of Captain H. Sidley's
(the 3d) Company of Royal Engineers and other
troops for Gibraltar and the Mediterranean sta-
tions, about the 21st inst.
The steam sloop Virago, 6, Commander Dunn,
embarked a number of supernumeraries from the'
Pigmy steam tender yesterday, and left Spithead
in the evening for Devonport.
The Vulcan, 6, iron steam troopship, got up
steam yesterday in the basin at Portsmouth, to try
her engines.
Very strong gales blew on the south coast all
Sunday night, Monday, and the early part of yes-
day, rendering communication from the harbour of
Portsmouth with Spithead, and vice versa, dan-
gerous for small craft. About two a.m. yesterday
a waterman, named John Barton, of Gosport, in
putting an officer on board her Majesty's ship Ex-
cellent, either missed his footing or was blown off
Ms balance. and fell over the gunwale of his
wherry and was drowned. His body was dragged
up yesterday. He has left a widow and four chil-
dren, for whom and the funeral expenses, we are
informed, the officers of the Excellent are making
up a purse, as the deceased was waterman to the

ship.
The guns on the fortifications of Portsmouth have
been scaled and painted, a pyramid of shot placed near
each, and much attention has been given of late to
the extension of the outworks of the town, a profile
of new lines intended to be thrown up from Hillsea
to Fort Cumberland having been for some months
standing. For these new lines alone a vote is asked
for £135,000. At Gosport, also, much attention has
for some time been devoted to rendering that shore
thoroughly protected by advanced lines, extending
from Elson, above Hardway, down to Browndown,
nearly opposite to Osborne. Fort Elson, at the first-
named place, has been built at a cost of nearly
£46,000, and Fort Gomer, at the latter place, at an
expense of £92,000, while a chain of intermediate
forts have been erected, or are in process of comple-
tion, at an expense of £300,000, as on the estimate.
Fort Gomer will be speedily garrisoned by artillery.
The steam transport Melbourne, Captain Jolliffe,
arrived in Queenstown harbour on Thursday morn-
ing from London and Portsmouth. She has on
board about 250 men of the Royal Artillery and
41st ltegt., who were embarked at Gravesend and
Portsmouth, and with whom, after taking in some
detachments at Queenstown, she will proceed to
Barbadoes and Jamaica.
