THE RECENT OUTBREAK BY CONVICTS AT *CHATHAM.  Since thb investk;ktipti. held lid Captain Gtimbier, at the Chatham Convict Prison, and the punishment and removal from that establishment to .111illbank and Pentonville of several of the ringleaders in the late mutinous 'outbreak, not the slightest symptom of any fresh disturbance by the convicts has presented itself, the severe punishment inflicted on the leaders in the late mutinous dornittet, having had the effect of tilting the inmates of the establishment into order ntid oliedienee: • Thb Pretaiitieti of hating the guards doubled day and night, which was taken by Captain Powell, the governor, is no longer required, and last Sunday, instead of the whole of the warders and guards being required to be on duty; as on the previous Sunday, a certain number were permitted to have their accumstomed holiday. In. addition to the three notorious eon, viets, noyle, 'Durant, and White, who *pit last Week reeleed. td relitoraiil6 and Milbank by other of Captain Gambier, 14 other convicts • were also sent. from Chatham to London last Week. The punishment to which the leaders in the late disgraceful outbreaks will be subjected will be most severe. Each convict before being sent to Chatham has to gd through a certain probation, varying in time, at either Pentonvine or Milbank. At both these establishments the discipline :,is most rittd, tire ititaeSt sit'e'ae being nkaletained, and the human voice 'Scarcely ever heard by the convicts, excepting during Divine service. The separate system. is also carried out in all its- integrity. This punishment bas been found to be the one most dreaded by the convicts; many of there having been heard to deiilate tlie,ttheir 47Otild gtsidl firef'er death itseit to their term of probation at Pentonville and Millbank. The convicts ordered to be sent back to • those establishments • will be required to go through their probation once more, in addition to which they will be reduced to the lowest class and forfeit all their privileges.

He then Con, tinned Ills attaek by savagely kicking him about the hdad and body with his heavy boots. Two or three warders were, immediately on the spot, when the convict was seized and placed in irons.
