fairly at Saturday's rates. Trade in South country and
foreign quiet, millers not showing much disposition to
operate, but holders are firm in their demands, and will
not force sales at a reduction. Flour in moderate re-
quest, at Saturday's rates. Oats, beans, and peas un-
changed.

EMPLOYMENT OF CONVICTS ON THE PUBLIC WORKS AT ;,-
CLIATHAM.—During the past week several hundred con-
victs, separated into different gangs, haVe been employed
in repairing the public, roads at Chatham, under the
control of the Ordnance authorities. They appeared
strong, well fed, and able-bodied fellows, presenting a
striking contrast to the miserable creatures one often
sees crawling about looking for employment. The ap-
pearance of convicts at work in the streets has caused
some surprise, as some consider it an improper inter-
ference with the labour market, more especially when
there are hundreds oat of employment, and to whom
anything in the shape of work would be a great boon.
If the authorities are at a loss to find employment for
the thousand lonvicts now confined at Chatham, let
them direct their attention to the embankment of the
Medway, a subject to which the attention of Parliament
has been called, and which, ere long, will become of
serious importance if we wish to preserve in a flourish- •
ing condition the important naval establishment at Chat-
ham. Years ago it was predicted that unless something
were done to arrest the wearing away of the banks of
the Medway, that river would soon be closed to ships of
great draught, and each year seems to add strength to
that prediction. It is to Le hoped that the attention of
the authorities may be aroused to the urgent rieeessity
of arresting the threatened calamity, and no more effec-
tual means can be devised than in employing the large
body of convicts ❑ow living in comparative idleness at
Chatham in embanking the river on both sides from
Chatham to Sheerness.—South. Eastern, Gazette.
