The structure was started five years ago, and much of the Interior has been completed, but left to go to ruin because of the lack of funds. The commissioners have recently looked the building oyer, aud found that all of the cells are ready for the reception of prisoners. The big dome of the centre building is a tine piece of architecture, nnd cost the State $143, 0Ot. It is expected that the wing aud dome will be occupied by May.
