Although there are no signs of activity connection with the extension of the Naval Yard, yet I hear that the work will really commence at the latest early next year. Perhaps it is in view of thi i gency that the itary authorities are rebaring a site for a new garrison prison. The existing building is now included in the Naval Yard and the "soldier men " are there only on sufferance. The site for the new house of detention is at the western end of the enclosure in which are situated the Swimming Baths, close to Murray Barracks and opposite St. John's Cathedral. The ground hus already been cleared of the vegetation which covered it, and foundations are being made ready. It will, I fear, rather spoil the look of the locality, formerly green and pretty.
