BLACKfitEi!iTH ASSEMBLY.—Monday evening, that ',valiant and spacious suite of rooms, at the Green Man Hotel, were again thrown open to a greater and far more fashionabki as •emblage than has been , witnessed this season. Tuesday, the dispatches for China, by the ship ‘Varren Hastings, Captain Ricusiau ItAwes, were claws' at the :Last India House, and delivered to t h e Purser of that ship. . - dßAlfp . AI IL itA R Y tbe OfSeers of the Tyke Russet's On si grind din der on Satorday last, in honour of his Majesty's Birth day. Among the company were Colonel Teasdale and the other Officers of the Ist Dragoon' Guards. His Majesty's health was drank with enthusiasm, and four times four. After Colonel Teasdale's health was drank, e said, he would give the Lord Chancellor of Eng land for three very sufficient reasons ; because that dis tinguished Nobleman a most excellent Judge and Minister—because he' is a Newcastle man—and be cause he was a relation to their very worthy President. The toast was drank with warm and ecstatic applause, and three times three. Mr. Armstrong proposed the health rf the Judge of the Court of Admiralty (Lord Stowell), whose transcendant merits, as a Civilian and a Statesman, would hand him down to posterity, like his distinguished brother, as one of the great ornaments of the age in which he lived—(Drank also with astounding applause, and three times three). Mr. Grieveson, the Secretary, on his health being drank, said he felt proud in being where he was that day to celebrate with loyalty and respect, the biith-day of their most excellent Sovereign, one of the best-inten tioned Princes that had ever sac upon the British Throne, and to whose truly paternal sway, in fact, ought to be ascribed the general happiness of the na tiOn. He would say, in the words of a most aCCJM• plished scholar : '• Long may our Sovereign live, by Heaven's decree, •Tn rek a nation loyal, brave, and free I His People's love, his great, his best reward; lie our Protector—We his faithful Guard !"—(Arlause.) ATTAMPTED AND SUCCESSFUL PRISON ESCAPES. GLASGOW, APRIL 25. Sunday (last) night, when Mr. M.Coll, Clerk of the Prison at Glasgow, and two turnkeys, went into one of the felons wards to lock up the prisoners, seventeen in number, they were overpoweted by the prisoners, who having seized the keys, were in the act of locking them up, when Mr. Won wrested himself from them, and gave the alarm to the debtors' turnkeys ; the other turnkeys were, howeyer, locked up, and before getting possession of the keys from one of them, Charles .lVat son, one of the prisoners, bit the back of his hand in such a manner. as made him drop the keys. As the prisoners knew that the door which leads from the prison into the court-yard has a different lock, and is secured on the outside by another turnkey, whose duty it is to lock in the turnkeys when they go into the prison, they did not attempt to go down, but made for the Chapel, and having tied their blankets together, were in the' act of letting themselves down into the court-yard, when Mr. Watson, the Governor of the Pri son, presented a blunderbuss, and threatened to shoot the first man who attempted to come down. This had the desired effect, and not a man dared present himself. By this time, Mr. Hardie, the Soperintendant of Po lice, was on theApot, with a number of officers, armed withcutlasses, when the prisoners were all lucked up. A piquet from the Horse Barracks peraded round the prison the whole night. The Assizes were to commence oa Tuesday, and the prison was very full. ABERDEEN, APRIL Wednesday morning last, five of the criminals who had' been brought from the gaol at Bridewell to that in Aberdeen, to await their trial at the ensuing Circuit, broke out of the prison. The plan of opera tions appears to have been concerted between the prix toners in two of the cells, and some accomplices from without, by whom a crow-bar was attached to a - card let down from the window of one of the rooms, to which it was thereby drawn sp, and introduced by an opening.made, part of the iron staunchion being pre viously cut through, and a piece of stained wood sub stituted. From this the crow-bar was by like means conveyed to the room above, known from its strength and s'curity by the name of the Stock-room, then oc cupied by three delinquents, one of the name of Coutts, and two that of Stirling, brothers. Possessed of this, these depredators set about their herculean task, break ing through a thick wall, of the most solid masonry, to the passage leading to other parts of the prison. From this they proceeded to liberate their accomplices in the room below, where three chains of the most massy and strongest description, by which the door. is secured, were, by means of spring saws, completely cut through, and immediate communication had with their associates. The party had now received an addition of five to-their numbers, and, thus strengthened, found it practicable to raise the strong stone arch forming the floor of this apartment, removing stones which no man could move from its place. Their work was now comparatively easy, as after jumping down about six or eight feet, they came to the ceiling forming the roof of the great lobby or entrance to the Court-house and jail. This could not resist them, and having soon made an aperture suf ficient to let them down, they attached to the joists blankets knotted together, by which they descended to the lobby below, broke two of the large panes in the window fronting Lodge Walk, and gained the street. At this moment the keeper of the Court-house being alarmed by the noise they made in breaking through the ceiling, panes of glass, &c. hastened to ascer tain the cause, when he discovered the five delin quents making- their exit by the window, without the least possibility of his preventing their escape.— His attention was therefore naturally directed to the safe custody of three other prisoners, whom he observed looking out at the aperture above ; but they either saw they had lost their opportunity, or were not inclined from the beginning , to hazard the attempt, and were soon returned to their confinement. la the meantime, the alarm spread rapidly, and a considerable_ number of people being collected around the coaches, which set off from the New' Inn, at six o'clock, an active pursuit of two of the fugitives, A. Stirling and Coutts, took place in the Castle-street/ where they were ultimately taken, after making great resistance, and one of them bringing down to the ground Simon Grant, an active officer, who hastened to assist in securing the fellow.— The other three, namely, Win. Stirling, Jolla *Laren, and Jos. M'Donald, ran up the Lodge Walk, where, al though seen and pursued by different individuals, they outran them all, and got clear off, escaping by some of the back passagis in that neighb'urhood. Monday morning, about two o'clock, a most de. structive fire bloke out on the prernises of Messrs. Hoye and WALazu, an extensive manufactory at It k, near Dacie-bridge ; such was the inflammable nature of the contents of the various, buildings, consisting cf oil, skins, And wool, that before any assistance .;ould be tendered, - the whole was :educed ►nto one common mass of rum. The loss sustained is to a very consider. tole amount, and upwards of 2i.10 persons ate thrown rut of employ. : • • ivAirAi INtELitut IvC - E.' . , . • • —aaw.-- , ... , , ~..1 10 !

Yesterday a Special General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was held at the Company's House, in Leadenhall-street. On the motion of the Chairman (C. MAJORIBA NILS, Esq.) the Court confirmed the Resolution of the last General Court, appointing a First Assistant in the Office of the Surveyor of Works, at a salary r f 3501. per annum. The Court also confirmed a Resolution of the last General Cum t, granti.g to Sir J. Malcolm, a pension of 1,0001. per annum. The CHAIRMAN then laid before the Court a Draft of a Bill for regulating the Sala►ies of the Indian Judges, and of the Bishop of Calfutta; and also providing for the Transportation of Offenders from St. Helena. Mr. GAHAGAN pointedly ridiculed the classification of Bishops, Burglars, Judges, and Murderers ; and re commended that that part of the Bill relative to the transportation of offenders should be put on a separate sheet of foolscap. Sir C. Fouts* also condemned the classification, acid pointed out what he conceived to be various defeats in the 511. Mr. Astru. said, that in this ease the Act of the .5.3d.0f the late King bad.been almost literally followed. Mr. D. KINNAIRD suggested th4t, some clause should be intoned in the Bill, poiOting Out the way in which the Supreme Government ought to exercise ti:e power, if that power were still suffered to exist, of banishing individuals from India. Here the conversation ended. s BURNING OF Till SHIP KENT. The Deputy Chairman, Sir G.
