ABOUT THE CITY JAIL.-Thc average num-
Der Of prisoners confined in the city Jail is
eighty. II now has one hundred and ten
inmates of both sexes. There are thirty fc-
male prisoners, seven Of whom are white.
OF the seyenty-two men, twcnty-iour are
white and, ,forty-ciSht colored. One of the
white females is lunllic. and one OF the ne
gro men. Horace Ncnablc, is awaiting the
execution of 4 sentence of death for the
murder of Mary Holmes. The execution
will take place on tic 9Th OF December.
Thirty-two of the negro men are daily en-
ployed in the chain-eang, which is now dl-
vidcd into TWO squads. One party Is en-
gagged in digging the foundation for an abut-
mcnt near the Free Bridge, ana The other Is
at work on Il culvcrt Oh Jefferson and Grace
streets. The interior of the Jail looks neat
and orderly, and everything about it leaves
the impression that it is well managed. But
the sight of 20 many worthless men and
women. who are supported without labor
or expense TO themselves. suggests to tue
visitor the need OF Il work-house to tike
away some Of the attraction this place has
for those who there pass the hours in indo-
lent ease.
