pate that it is the intention Of the

tween that port and Galway in ssz

into the sensoriufn Of the brain. We

1--we notice that the foundation
of the new Jail, has been commenced.
II Is built at the expense Of the Par
ish, and when finished will cost about
g15,000,00. This should suffice to
construct very large and conmedi-
Gus building and we doubt not, will
be sufficiently capacious TO hold all
the rogues that can ever be had at
any one time, from the hands Of the
''philistines.' - There is olly one
objection to the plan adopted, and
that is very obvious one The
height If the stories Is not much more
than half sufficient. No room ID this
climate can be a healthy--well vente-
lated room, with less than twelve feet
from foor to floor. And no ''public.
building for comfort, should be less
than fifteen.
We will not complain The Par
ish has managed to keep a very excel
lent state If morality with d small
JUL and now that We are to have a
larger one, we may reasonably ex.
pect that there WILDE less use for it.
This il d correct inference, and we
hope that the fear Of low ceilings,
thick walls with bars running through,
and small windows to let In darkness,
the heavy CRATES and iron doors will be
sufficient to frighlen the wicked into
the path Of rectitude.
