—" We hove here at the present moment a very in-
teresting rage going forward. Ismail ei denser
governor of our inland, hoe been brought to trial, and it
is to be hopel that a signal example will be made of
him. A brief sketch of his career may be interesting
as an item of contemporary history. Since the titue of
Sultan Mahnioud the Pasha has been a kind of Dere bey

succeoled in obt•iniug the baud of the latter for
his son ; and, it is asserted that, after sonic time, with
a deletes:ace' spirit. lie actually excited his nephew to
consent pal-wide. By the most artful means this crime
was acetiliplished. The wretched youth as aqoll as the
deed Was done was arrested, Weight up before the
authorities, tried, and sentenced. heed' immediately
sent to the capital to obtain the necessary Witten, and
the miserable wretch was in due course executed. There

On his arrival he ascertained that the story was true;

Tit RECKKT OUTaIIZAK AT CHATHAM, JANUARY
24rs.—The investigation ordered by the Hume
Sesetary into the recent diststrbances and mutinous
conduct on the part of the convicts at St. Mary's convict
establishment, Chatham, was commenced on Monday by
Captain Gambier, the Director-General of Convict
Prisons, who arrived at Chatham ou that day, the inves-
tigation being hold in the Governor's office at the
prison. Since Sunday the uttnost tranquillity has Ire'
Vailtll throughout the entire establishment, and no
retain of the outrageous be aviour on the part of the
convict,' which was witnessed rant week has been attemp-
ted, order and quietness taking the place of the former
turhuleuce wet riot. There is now no doubt that had
it not been for the firmness and energy shown by Captain
Powell, the Governor. Sunday last would have exhibited
another fierce outbreak by the convicts. Csptain Powell,
however, having heard that something of the kind was
intended, directed the whole of the warders to remeie
on duty in the establishment on that day, and at the
time the Men were allowed to exercise on the parade.
ground, an extra number of wanlera were stationed
among the convicts, the reumiuder being judiciously
kept out of sight, hut in readiness to set immediately
their services were required. This metatuovre had the
desired effect, and, after the convicts had taken their
hour's exercise, they were quietly marched into the
chapel, where the service was decorously performed,
the Goveruor adopting the mine precaution as during
Lie exercise time in the afteruesit. From the remit
el the investigetion institute' by Captain Gambier it
hiss been awertained beyond doubt that the recent
outbreaks were led by stew most ruffainly charicters,on
account of the failure of the plot which hail been con-
cocted to enable a number of them to effect their escape.
The convict Peters who was at the head of the affair,
was initiated with the akeletuti key for releasing the
others front their cells. As previously stated, this allele.
ton key wan manufactured by one of the couvicts em-
ployed in the dockyard, w here, of course, they have

which they are engaged. Since the occurrent* strict
orders have been tweed to all the warders to use the
utmost vigilant.* over the convict,' working in the deck'
ysrd, in order to prevent any of the tools being used for
an improper purpose. In addition to the four convict+
removed to Ilillbank nut Saturday last, Captain G&W.
bier hen directed three others of the most notorious
character, who teuk a leading part in the late riotous
premed dig., to be renewed from Cliethem. Their names
are Durant, Bayle, and White. Durant has accool-
ingly been removed to Pentonville, and the two others
to Milbank, where they will be dogged, and les
reduced to the lowest clai.sn, and their period of probs.
lion continence(' again. It was expected that Captain
Gauthier would have ordered a severe example to he
made of several of the ringleaders, by directing them
to he (legged in the presence of the convicts at
Chatham. isut for certain reaStoll the course has not
beet' adopted. The leaders, however, will

been selected to be sent to Millhank, where, on their
snivel, they will doubtless be flogged and also reduced
to the lowest class. The number ordered to be reduced
to Ohs clam. and all mitigation of their puilialituent fee
feited, is believed to be nearly 30. It should be stated
that • great number of the convicts refrained from
