Butler had been relieved and oreered to Lowell, Massachusetts. A host of rumours are flying about as to the cause of this change. Nearly all, however, attribute the removal of Gen. Butler to the failure of the Wilmington expedition. The order was re ceived at Butler'S - headquarters about half-past 11 o'clock . a.m. yesterday. The only person present who did not appear at all surprised was the general himself. Whether he knew that it was coming, or whether he has the faculty of viewing the most ; but mediat un expected events cal m l y , is more than I can deter minecertainlyely on its reception his orders the ge neral was not at all dis turbed. Immediately were issued clearly and decisively, and before three o'clock he was ready to vacate his command at the front. Adopting the theory that General Butler was removed on account of the Wilmington expedition not meeting with the expected success, only one question remained to puzzle curious military men. They could not imagine why the general had not been removed some days ago. This question, how ever—rece.hrpfl ..--finc&-..lirlilyn when Gen...Ord was assigia TO the command. The hero of Fort Har rison was away on leave of absence, and the autho rities only waited for his return to remove General Butler.

He had hardly arrived before he received notification of the removal of Gen. But ler, and his otn assignment to the army of the James. " Immediately on the promulgation of the order relieving Gen. Butler, and replacing him by Gen. Ord, the staff of the army of the James assembled around the quarters of their late commander, rein forced by numerous other officers of the command. Numerous' would hardly convey an idea of the number of officers present to bid him farewell. The general was deeply affected, and expressed his re grets at parting with an army which, under his command, had achieved so much. But any expres sions of sorrow were cut short by the rapidity of the general's arrangements. He had received his orders to report at Lowell at the earliest moment, and before 3 p.m. he announced that he was ready t c 7 e l n e .a v ßtl t The o order s eird to oin this change instructed Lowell, Mass., and re port from thence to the adjutant-general of the army. Before 3 p.m. the general started for the North. He was accompanied by Gen. Ord, Gen. Delis, Gen. Turner, Gen. Ludlow, Capt. Bruce, Captain Clark, Captain De Kay, Lieutenant Mer rill, Medical Director Suckley, Major Davis, and Captain Wheaton. Never had an order been more promptly obeyed. All of the above-named offi cers accompanied the general to Aikin's Landing, where he went on board his flagboat, the River Queen. General Butler was accompanied by Cap tains De Kay and Clark, of his personal staff, while the remaining officers turned their horses' heads homeward. General. Ord also accompanied General Butler as far as City Point, where he stopped to see the lieutenant-general, and returned late last night." The New York Tribune publishes the following letter from its special correspondent relative to the. Federal attack upon Wilmington and General But ler's part in it : " Fortress Monroe, Jan. 5. " The late Wilmington expedition having resulted unsuccessfully, the public—which had a right to hope if not expect otherwise—big tritsy - seeking for a scape goat whereon to visit its maledictions. Commodore Porter having published a report which, imilliedly at least, censures Major-Generai Butler, such of the public as are unaccustomed to thinking for them"- selves have set about abusing the general exten sively. Whether General, Butler shall think it worth while to controvert the erroneous imputations' of the Journal I cannot, of course, pretend to say, but he certainly owes it to himself as well as to his army that a candid and cotrect report be made of his own share in that unsuccessful expedition. Should such a report be ever made, these facts are pretty certain to be established :—First—That we did not capture Wilmington. Second—That General Butler's troops were all embarked on transports, and at the, rendezvous at Fortress Monroe at the appointed time, and three days be fore the navy was ready to co-operate. And third, 'That arrived off New Inlet on the night of the 15th December, the general's transports lay waiting, anxious and impatient, the 16th, 17th, and 18th, with weather the most delightful, and the sea as calm as an in and lake, while the fleet, still not ready, was off at Beaufort taking in supplies and ammuni tion. On the 19th the weather thickened and grew stormy, and on the 20th a gale prevailed, rendering it utterly impossible to keep the transports together; moreover, his transports had been supplied by direc tion of Gen. Grant for ten days only, and that time being now up, it became necessary to put into New bern for additional supplies. Fourth—Deserters and prisoners captured by our land forces unite in stat ing that up to so late even as the 20th there was not a garrison inside of Fort Fisher exceeding 400 men, nor 1,500 effective troops to be had to make any resistance whatever ,to our advance, had we been able to have moved at the time when General Butler was there ready and willing to commence. The fatal unreadiness on the part of the navy dur- ing those three beautiful days of the 16th, 17th, and 18th December must be put down as the cause of the failure of the expedition ; as, when the transports got back again from Newbern, and the navy was at length ready to commence the fight, the garrison of Fort Fisher had been strength ened, and at least two divisions of troops from Richmond had been transferred for the de- fence of Wilmington, so that when Gen. Weitzel finally effected a landing, he found the fort strongly manned, and a force scarcely, if at all, less than his own ready to engage his rear whenever he under took to assault the fort. Had. General Butler been a man of less moral courage he might have ordered his men to uselessly hurt themselves against Fort Fisher, as General Gordon Granger, on the 6th of August last, ordered General M'Ginn to hurl his 900 effective troops under his command against Fort Morgan, garrisoned by 700 men, and having 10 guns bearing towards the plain over which they were to move. General Weitzel's force was larger, but there were some 16 or 17 guns mounted in Fort Fisher, sweeping the plain when he was to advance his assaulting line with batteries to enfilade the attacking line when it approaching the works. Fifth. General Butler did what no good officer could fail of doing under the same circumstances. He withdrew his-men and re-embarked them when he found that to undertake to go forward would only result in uselessly leading them to slaughter. There might have been more glory in a course which would have afforded greater carnage, but doubtless the tear ful wives and mothers and sisters at home, watching in fear and trembling for the lists of w ounded or readilyh acquit the general f or hi s d ec i s io n , history will assuredly count this m istakes, what ever ma y b e th e judg wknmioh ne t among w i l l to-dayhisimpartial of u ncandid, misinformed, or partisan news p a pers. Finally, it may be owing to the public to know that n either the Pr esident nor the Lieut. - G en eral, having the facts before them, blame Gen. Butler for the non-success of this undertaking, nor ascribe to him the fault of having been the cause of its resulting as it did." DR.

Relative to Mr. Blair's mission to Richmond, the New York Tribune contains the following despatch " WASHINGTON, Jan. 9, 1865. 6i F r ancis F. Blair, sem, went on hie second THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JA.NLIARY 23, 1865. The Russian Budget sion of peace to Richmond. on Saturday. His son, Montgomery Blair, did not accompany him. Passes from the Confederate authorities, civil and military (delay in the receipt of which, at Grant's headquar ters, had induced Mr. Blair last week to return to Washington) had been transmitted to him here, and will enable him to continue his journey to Richmond without interruption. He is, doubtless, in that city. It is known here that Mr. Blair will propose to the Davis Government a scheme of pacification resting fundamentally on a return of. the rebellious States to the Union. Whatever political and moral ad vantages may be derived to us from this tender of the olive branch, no hope is entertained here that Mr. Blair's mission will have the success of initiat ing negotiations for peace. The condition of re union will be fatal to his or any other envoy's labours. George D. PrentiCe, of the Louisville Journal, who has been in •Richmond for over a month, on his arrival here through our lines, of which he seems to have the run, reported to Ken tuckians in the house of his own sympathies that the Jeff. Davis government had conclusively re solved to free and arm the slaves, and th . a.t 200,000 of them would soon be equipped and put into the field to fight us under the stimulus of the promise of their own liberty and that of their wives and children, and of a proprietary interest in the soil. -In this desperate-war -poiteyliitergene'nie n hear Jeff. Davis's reply to Francis Blair's proposition for peace." The correspondent of the same journal, writing from Washington, says : " A very much greater quantity of cotton than was reported was found in Savannah. On the sug gestion of an eminent member of Congress from the West, the collector of the port of New York was sent down there, probably to take possession of the whole of it, and ship it to New York, for sale for account of the Federal Government. He will pro bably dispose of the entire batch of claimants by giving them certificates of his appropriation of the property at the present Savannah valuation, to b e paid for at a future day on proof of ownership." ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 17. The Budget for 1865, just published, is accom panied by a lengthy report to the Emperor from the Finance Minister, the most important passages of which are the following : " The estimate for all departments of the Admi nistration are drawn up in a new form since 1863, in accordance with the decrees to that effect. Thi s proceeding enables the Council of - the Empire to scrutinise narrowly the grounds for all demands, and gives the Budget the importance of an actual financial bill. This is not only the case with regard to the totals assigned to the respective departments as was customary previous to 1862, but prevents the transfer of sums voted for one item being ap plied to another without an especial decree. Thi s reform, indispensable for a regular and well ordered State, encountered various difficulties in the first two years, so that it was impossible to lay the Bud gets for 1863 and 1864 before his Majesty , for .ap proval until May. This year, however, the obstacles have been removed, and the Budget for 1865 can therefore be submitted to the Emperor at the appointed time. "In the Budget for 1864 the total receipts were estimated at 346,244,000 roubles; in the Budget for 1865 they are calculated at 349,945,000 roubles. An increase is expected in the follow ing items :—About 5,000,000 roubles upon spirit ous liquours, as the brandy duty has been raised 25 per cent., while several facilities have been given to the brewing trade. The increase of the duty, as was to be expected, occasioned a reductioh consumption, while the revenue rose. Two measures have also been taken to reduce the 'con sumption of brandy in 1865 still further, without in jury to the revenue. The normal quantity distillers are allowed to fabricate has been increased, and the duty upon licences to sell brandy, the number of which had recently much augmented, has been raised. From these two measures an advantage of 5,500,000 roubles is expected to accrue to the re venue, while the increased facilities afforded to the brewers will produce a decrease over half a million. An increase of 463,000 roubles is expected from the duty upon traders' licences. The duty on home manufactured tobacco is expected to yield half a million more in 1865. The profit upon the copper coinage gives about the same sum. The postal re ceipts have risen 280,000 roubles, those from tele graphic service 172,000. The revenue from State property has increased 3,250,000 roubles. Com munal dues are placed at 1,230,000 roubles higher than in 1864, in proportion to the increased expen diture met from this source and especially applied to the cost of post horses. The casual revenue has increased 2,178,000 roubles. The total increase from these and a few other unimportant sources shows an excess of income of 16,814,000 roubles for 1865 over 1864. " A reduction of the revenue has taken place in the following respects :—A decrease of 1,479,000 roubles upon the direct taxes, owing to the grant of certain immunities to workers in mines and factories, the equalisation of some classes of tax payers with other classes, &c. These immunities have been chiefly occasioned by the abolition of serf dom. The frontier customs duties have fallen off 6,800,000 roubles. Of this sum the decrease of 1,800,000 roubles is due to the removal of the export dutyupon goods and upon raw cotton, while the re mainder is chiefly occasioned by the fact that the re venue from imported sugar and tea for the current bud get was estimated according to the actual import of 1863, but asthatproved to be an abnormalyear it was thought sounder to calculate these articles at their former usual rate. Chancery fees, fees for merchants, licenses, and fees generally have yielded less by 1,180,000 roubles in 1864 than in 1863. The rent paid for Crown lands has apparently diminished 2,837,000 roubles, but part of this increase has been transferred to the following item (ground-rent paid by State peasants and other settlers upon Crown lands), so that in reality no loss occurs. All the above items, with a few of minor importance, show a reduction of income amounting to 13,110,000 roubles, an actual increase of revenue of 3,704,000 roubles over 1864 being thus established. " The expenditure of the Budget for 1864, in cluding the extraordinary military and naval items, was estimated at 392,727,000 roubles ; for 1865 it is 372,343,000. roubles, showing a reduction of 20,384,000. " A larger increase of expenditure is shown in the following items :—An amount of 4,652,000 roubles to the debt ofthe Empire for payments to the Anglo- Dutch loan, for Treasury notes, and for the Metallies and 5 per cent. notes issued by the Bank of the Em. pire to strengthen its resources. An increase of 404,000 roubles is charged to the clerical depart expenditure already obtained, your Majesty has found it possible to turn our credit at home to pro ductive account by the 5 per cent. prize loan. The result of this operation secures the certainty of speedy completion to the very - important railway line from Moscow to the Black Sea, and permits the Bank of the empire further to develope its operations for the benefit of trade and commerce. " In the Budget for 1864 the general deficit which had to be covered from extraordinary resources amounted to 46,468,000 roubles; in the Budget for 1865, owing to the increase of revenue and the dimi nution of expenditure, it only reaches 22,398,000 roubles. To cover this sum it is proposed to issue four series of Treasury-notes, amounting to 12 mil lion roubles, to employ the remainder of the A nglo- Dutch loan, being 7,484,000 roubles, and to make up the. 2,913,000 roubles required from the sums advanced by the Treasury towards the construction of the Southern Railway line, and which were to be repaid from the home loan." The report ends with an expression of the Minis ter's hope that the time is near at hand when. the extraordinary expenses occasioned by political events may be omitted without danger, and the resources of the Empire be fully available for the great re forms undertaken by the Emperor, and the improve ment of the material condition of the great bulk of the people. temarkabTe Photographic Experiments. The Florence correspondent of the Morning Post, writing on the 7th inst., reports the details of most remarkable photographic experiments on the eye of a murdered per qcn. It appears that on the 13th April, 2d June, and 22d of August last year, three murders were committed in Florence, in almost precisely similar circumstances, the victims in each case being lodginghouse keepers. In each case the corpse was discovered lying on the floor, with the throat cut from ear to ear, a pool of blood below her head, but only there—no marks of blood in any other part of the room—and a pocket-handkerchief, the property of some one unknown, close to her person. The trinkets and money which she was supposed to have about her had disappeared, as well as other articles in the house. As no cries had been heard by the neighbours, the conclusion come to by the Florence police was to the effect that the murder had been perpetrated, in all probability, by two assassins, who had obtained admittance into when the house the poor woman was alone, under the pretext of wishing to see and hire her rooms ; that one of them had suddenly thrown a pocket handkerchief over her mouth and brought her to the ground, and that, when thus held fast and her cries effec tually stifled, his accomplice had cut her throat. Such was the conclusion come to by the police, and, in parti cular, by its chief officer—the Capo Commesso di Publica Vigilanza, Leopoldo Viti—who, amongst other steps taken by him in each case, applied to the higher administra tive and legal authorities on whom he was de pendent for permission to have the eyes of the murdered woman photographed—an application which, in the belief that the granting it could lead to no practical result, was twice refused. Suspicion meanwhile pointed to a young man, Benjamin° . de Cossimo, who on the occasion of the first murder suddenly disappeared from Florence, and was known to have re-aypeared at the time of the third murder. He was arrested, and in his possession were found articles belonging to the last murdered woman, Emilia Spagnoli, and a blood-stained knife, the blood freshly shed. He now awaits his trial. Meantime the application by the Chief of Police in the third case was granted, and the experiments, with the results, are thus reported by the correspondent :—Under the direction of Marabotti, the examining judge, - or Giudica d'lstruzione, a series of photographic experiments have been carried on, not for the special purpose of furnishing additional criminal evidence for conviction (as the other evidence, with that view, is believed to be superabundant), but in order to es tablish a general principle, or law, of universal or very fre quent application. Emilia Spagnoli was found lying on her left side, her large, glazed right eye being turned upwards. The eye was photographed immediately after her decease. The photograph then taken has been reproduced in a greatly magnified form, so greatly magnified as to allow the lineaments of a human face, two inches in length, to stand out distinctly from the same. When I mention that Alinari, the first photographer of Florence, and indeed possessing a European reputation, was th, artist by whom work was executed, '1 neetils,ty---noti king inor6" as a guarantee of the fidelity and care"44ll4ed ou time occasion. From the tracing of the dim and nelittiiiiis outline, as actually found on the eye, to the completed outline of the face executed from that tracing by an artist who had never seen Benja mino do Cossimo, or any portrait of the man, and, again, from that completed outline to the two photographs of himself found in his possession at the time ~f his arrest—the transition, whether viewed as an artistic study or as a great question of medical jurispru-, deuce, opens up inquiries of unsurpassed interest and im portance. lam not, indeed, prepared to affirm that the first tracing in the series, as shown to me yesterday, by the courtesy of the Judge of Instruction, Signor Marabotti, at his official chambers, so completely resembles the photo graph of the living man, that were I placed in a jury box, my verdict would be determined by the belief in their identity, but of the following fact there cannot be the pos sibility of a doubt. • Whatever there is of marked, promi nent, individual in that first nebulous profile has an exactly corresponding feature in the likeness of the living prisoner. A peculiar dilatation of the nostril, a depression in the centre of the upper lip (Benjamino du Cossimo has lost his two front teeth), an unusual elongation of the mouth, a square but double chin, a certain massiveness about the region of the cheek-bone, and the outline of a whisker, are common to both. I purposely confine myself, in the pre sent letter, to a simple statement of facts—of the circum stances under which these murders were perpetrated, the consequent photographic experiments instituted, and the result obtained, of which I was myself yesterday an eye witness. There are very distinguished anatomists—per sons, too, deeply versed in all the laws of optics—who affirm that the whole thing is a mere freak of nature, to which no importance whatever should be attached. . ment, mainly to improve the position of the orthodox clergy in the Western governments. The Widows' and Orphans' Pension Fund in the Finance Depart ment requires an increase of 900,000 roubles, and the funds to meet the charge of collecting the taxes make a demand for 2,959,000 roubles additional. I am happy to add that Signor Marabotti, with whom, from his official position, the prosecution of these in quiries rests, has evidently brought to his task a spirit, worthy in all respects of a countryman of Galileo. 4Uhe photographs, with all the accompanying and illustrative details, have been transmitted not only to the medical col leges of Florence, but also to the medical colleges of Naples and Milan ; and, by the authority of the Prefect of Florence, Count Cantelli, a series of photographic ex periments will be instituted on the eyes of the patients in the hospital immediately after their decease. " The expenditure in the Ministry of the Interior has increased 413,000 roubles in the Ministry for Public. Instruction 201,000 roubles, in the chief postal administration 709,000 roubles, and in the chief office of Works and Roads 1,652,000 roubles. On the other hand, the amount fixed for the gua rantee of private railway companies has been reduced owing to the rapid rise in their gross receipts, from from 6,500,000 roubles, as stated in 1864, to 3,500,000 now. The chief reduction of expenditure has been gained in the Ministries of War and Ma rine, by the replacement of those services upon a peace footing. This amounts in the War Depart ment to 24,462,000 roubles, in the Marine Depart ment to 4,258,000, but, nevertheless, is still higher than the normal estimate in time of peace. " In view of the considerable reduction of the war , A SOMERSETSHIRE MYSTERY.—For the last few days the good people of Yatton have discovered that a mysterious agency is at work in their parish, and high and low, clergy and laity, have as yet been unable to ex plain the matter. On the road leading fromYatton to Cleeve, and not far from Hollow Mead, is a detached cottage, inhabited by a family named Beacham, and it appears that a few nights ago one of the children, a little boy, was heard by his parents, whilst in bed, making a noise as if driving away a cat or a dog. He complained that something was scratching at the bed clothes, and a search was made for the intruder, but its whereabouts was not apparent. On the following night the scratching was continued, and now a loud rapping succeeded that was plainly heard by all in the house.• Puzzled as to the rea son of the noises, the Beachams mentioned the subject to the neighbours, and they having visited the premises heard the noise likewise, and, after a rigid investigation acknow ledged themselves unable to solve the mystery. As might be expected, an affair of this nature soon spread through the whole of the village, and crowds flocked together to listen to the raps, which became louder and louder. Nor was the excitement confined to the humbler class, for the vicar of the parish, the Rev. H. J. Barnard, and Mr. Hurd, amongst others, proceeded to the spot, and having listened to the rappings and scratchings, confessed themselves in the \ dark as to the reason for the distur d ba w n i ce lc i On Sunday, to crown the ghostly noises, e_ laughter were audible, while the raps continued unabated. u a a r n n e q t o e r d .

These resolutions were sent by Mr. M: Fitzgertdd, the secretary to the Liverpool Cotton Brokers' As sociation, with the expression of a hope that they would see the reasonableness and fairness of the propoSitions. On Nov. 11 Mr. Studley Martin, secretary to the brokers, replies, intimating that all further communications had better not come direct, o b fr u or t ke t pe hr rsla o cw u in g ag h s the Manchester Chamber of Commerce.

Up to Dec. 5 this com- • munication was not even acknowledged, and then Mr. Fitzgerald wrote again. On the 16th Mr. Martin writes that the brokers had not thought it desirable to hold a meeting specially in reference to the subject, and saying, " You will please, there fore, accept the former reply." Having been thus handsomely snubbed, the cotton spinners, on whose committee are some of the leading firms of Lanca shire, including Messrs. James Marshall and Edward Howard, Stockport ; G. Lord, Tolmorden ; J. J. Jackson, Blackburn ; T. Thomasson, Bolton ; N. Eckersley, Wigan ; F. Rayner and H. Mason, . Ashton ; Woods, Wigan ; and D. Clarke and B. Armitage, Manchester, have issued circulars con taining some facts and suggestions. Among the sug gestions is one as to whether it will not be better in future to employ buying brokers unconnected with the association, and men who would pledge them selves to act strictly for the buyers' interest. They say there can be no doubt that many of the ASso ciated brokers act both for sellers as well as pur chasers of cotton, thus fostering high prices and the operations which for the last two years have kept cotton at a price totally inconsistent with that which would have ruled had the market been governed simply by supply and demand. They calculate the brokerage paid in the last year by spinners on 1,631,850 bales of cotton at £285,758, while the profits on spinning have been absolutely nil ; and to prevent brokers from becoming so deeply interested in high prices (against the interest of the spinners who employ them) suggest payment by weight in stead of the commission on price. They express an opinion that, at all events, this large payment ought to have secured to spinners the best services of the Liverpool cottonbrokers. Among other grievances they mention that cotton being so much dearer than formerly, spinners are paying now, when they can least afford it, five times as much per bale for the same services as they did formerly ; that a broker acting in the double capacity of buyer and seller dis sociates the interest of the spinner and the broker who represent hint,, and re,siLthat . brokers.. ought _ to be diifinetly either litiYing or selling broker • speculator being allowed to act as -broker, and that '- such broker issue his own circular advising his cus tomers, instead of the Association circulars. They point out that the Spinners' Association succeeded in obliging the brokers to abandon the rule refusing any allowance for false packing, and direct atten tion to the particulars of a trial at Birkenhead on Dec. 8, in which Messrs. Partington and Allan, the spinners' attorneys, recovered from Mr. Taylor, of Oldham, £5 10s. from Mr. F. N. Good, a Liver pool broker, for false tare. On seven bales of cotton the defendant had allowed 2 qrs. 251 b. for tare, but the stuff in which the cotton was packed weighing 401 b. more he claimed a deduction of 2s. 4d. per lb. the price of the cotton, and the Court gave a verdict for the full amount. MR. LEITCH RITCHIE. —ln OUT Thursday's obi tuary was recorded the death at East Greenwich, on Monday last, of this well known author and amiable and estimable man. In Edinburgh, where Mr. Ritchie re sided for several years while acting as literary conductor of Chambers's Journal, the announcement will cause a pang of sympithy and regret to every one who knew him. Of quiet, retiring disposition, and occupied entirely in literary pursuits, Mr. Ritchie had no large circle of friends ; but by that select, if small, number, he was respected and loved as a genial and cheerful companion,accomplished and well read, of kindliest and most gentlemanly manners and feelings. As an author, Leitch Ritchie enjoyed an extensive reputa- tion, originally acquired by some fortunate hits early in life, and which his industry and perseverance, combined with his true natural talent and excellent taste, enabled him steadily to sustain throughout some 40 years of hard literary labour. In the " Men of the Time" it is stated that he was barn in Greenock "about the beginning of the cen tury," but if this be correct he looked a much older man than he was—an effect, probably, so far, produced by the wear and tear of his constant application to letters, and heightened by the infirmity of deafness, by which he was for many years afflicted. His tale of " Wearyfoot Com mon," originally published in Chanthers's Journal, is that by which readers of the later generation will best remember him.—Scotsman.! A LONG CAPTIVITY.—The Abeille of Fontaine bleau gives the following account of the return of a French officer after 32 years' captivity. This officer, Cap tain Brunel, of the 20th Regiment of the Line, was taken prisoner in 1831 by the Arabs in Algeria,, and, nothing fur ther having been heard of him, he was supposed to be dead. It appears that he was at one moment very near being be headed, but was ultimately taken 300 leagues into the in terior, whore he was for long years employed as a herdsman, and never found any means of communicating with his farni.r or country. But during the late Arab insurrection, when ! men capable . of bearing arms had left the tribe, hemo mounted many days; embarked orr a camel and effected his escape. After riding he reached the west coast of Africa, and there embarked Carthagent a Maltese vessel, which landed him (Spain). Thence Captain Brunel where be received joined his regiment in garrison at Dijon, . to proceed to the necessary documents to enable Paris and regularise his position; EE PRISONERS FROI DARING ESCAPE OF proacteeded to France, three prisoners made 1 l a a r y p t Liverpool, andin g a Their and Banks.

These locks are generally considered very secure, and it is quite a mystery what means can have been adopted for opening the one in question. Having got into the corridor, the man must have, with the same instrument, opened the locks of the two adjoining cell; in which the other two prisoners were confined. Under ordinary circumstances it would have been impos sible for them to have got further than the corridor in which they now found themselves, but, unfortunately, there was at the time in course of construction, and incom plete, a lift or hoist intended to convey food from the higher to the lower part of the building. Tho men, by this means, were able to make their way to the ground floor, outside ' the bridewell building, but within the walls of the yard. They then contrived to scale a lofty wall which separates this yard from the police fire station, and thence made their way into the street. The wicket of the fire station was found open soon after the escape was discovered. The bridewell keepers were on duty as usual when the pris oner:: got away. Murray has been captured. He states that b. RIM M'Shane picked the locks with a wire, and that WS and Banks have gone to Manchester.
