CONVICTS - Much anxiety has been felt during the past week by the inhabitants of Folkestone and Sandgate, at the report that 500 convicts from Millbank Penitentiary were to be located at Shorncliff barracks on account of the increase in cholera at that prison. Upon enquiry, we find that there are no grounds whatsoever for alarm, as only the most healthy of the convicts will be brought here. About 100 arrived by special train on Saturday morning last at Coolinge Bridge near Folkestone, and were marched off to the barracks which had been prepared for their reception, under the superintendence of Capt. GROVE, the governor of the Millbank Penitentiary. The barracks are situated on an eminence, and entirely isolated. A more healthy spot could not be selected.

TOWN DEVELOPMENT - Folkestone and Sandgate are fast filling with families of distinction. The lodging-houses are nearly all occupied, and there is every prospect of its being a good season. We still have to regret that there are no steps taken towards getting a General Improvement Bill, to widen existing thoroughfares and make a new one to Folkestone harbour. The new houses in the "Tontine" progress with spirit, which street has become a general thoroughfare, and of much importance for traffic on account of the High-street being so narrow and steep.
