NEW SOUTH WALES.
The .fru6 and Eliza convict ships, now
10 the river, have received on board, in
the course oil last week, $50 felons from
the Justitic hulk, at Woolwich, for the
purpose OF being transported to New South
Waies. The transports will also lake out
conyicts from Sbeerness and Portsmouth.
II is now understood that the future trans
narration of telons 10 New South Wales
will be discontinued. A new arrange
ment is about TO be made by government,
by which those who hereafter receive sen.
tence of transportation will be conveyed
~ different destination. This new ar
raogement has in view the accomplishment
of two obects-frst, the dimunition OF
expense; aud secondly, the excitement, ct
more terror than Is at present caused to
the unfortunate culprits who have hitherto
been sentenced to be transported 10 New
South Wales. The place of destination
will be nearer home, and the punishment
will be rendered more appalling, mas.
much as the convicts are 10 be employed
on works, before the eyes OF the public,
and designated by appropriate bandages
of ignominy and disgrace. This arrange.
men,, il is expected will be productive OF
considerable good. and will tend 10 effect
a most material alteration in the minds OF
sHch that may hereafter contemplate
breach of the law, but to whom the pun
ishment OF transportation, according TO
the presant plan, conveys not the slightest
idea of terror, much less OF restraint.
