RETORT ON IRISH CONVICIT PRISONS.—The third
annual report of the Dir6ctors of Convict Prisons is
Ireland was printed on Saturday. The ace .ninimiation
in the Government prisons for c mounts on the Ist of
January last is esimated at 3,496, and the number in
o that day was 2 614 in the Government prisons, /tad
162 in rhe county and city gaols, making a grog
of 2,776. 389 convicts were sentenced in 1856.
Ge,uierailv speaking. the industry of the convict- has
been very satisfactory ; the record of industry being
known to effect their progress in the a,i eantsg°,
of classitica,iou bas been a constant stimulus, which,
is hoped, will become still more powerful with the Merl
now under sentence of penal servitude. when the dire
e
tors are able to place before them some more tangible
reward than is afforded by the mere increase of earning°
consequent on their attaining higher classification.
THREATENED INVASION Or NORMANDY.—At the last
meeting of the Nu wcastle•upon-Tyne Society of
Anti-
quaries, Dr. Bruce stated that an archeological excursi7
of ,:ome duration was projected, in which, be believe/
any member of the Newca,tle society would be allow!,
to join. An invasion of Normandy had been planned
the Sussex Archasologicallnstitute. A steamer was toss l,
from Newhaven, and if a landing were effected 16°
Dieppe a week would be spent in ransacking Normandy
i
Master Lower, he hoped, would be the Master Wane°
the enterpriPe, and indite a poem thereupon ; and the
facts of the invalon would be pictorially handed dOwi
to posterity by the facile fingers of certain Lewes gat'
d as. The Builder, _ •
