Richmond, Aug. 30.-We understand that the rubbish has been removed from the interior of the building-the temporary roof is nearly put on-the doors made—the floors are henceforth to be of brick.- Most, if not all, the broken wall has been taken down, and will be rapidly rebuilt.— The sick are already removed-(one died soon after the fire)--It is calculated that in the course of the next week, all the convicts will be removed to the building.- The females are at present at the armory. The custody of the convicts is, of course, exclusively transferred to the public guard, and to Captain Cary's company.
