They proceeded all up the hill and on to the distant
churchyard at lteforne, where the Rev. J. A. Beazer
most impressively reel the funeral service. The Good
Tempters also wished to read their own service; but the
lteetor Aated that he Lad on power to permit this to be
done. The rev. gentleman, liewmer, himself read from
the Templar service, and this consideraply prolonged the
ceremony. The friends were deeply affected aa they stood
around the grave, listening to the Rector's impressive
worda. The procession afterwards re-formed in reverse
order and the Templars returned to the lodge-room,
where the service wad concluded according to their
peculiar rites.

attended to. Mitchell was severely bzuised, and so
was Lisney, and the latter had his nose broken; but
by the skilful care of Dr. Aekham, we hope no worse
consequences will result. The besieged convicts
refused to surrender except upon terms, and though
they might easily have been starved out, they refused
to admit anybody except the Governor or Deputy-
Governor to treat with them. Of course it was of
haportance to bring the row to an end before it might
lead to any other complications, and the convicts ask-
ing that the warders mi*ltt not beat them then, Mr.
Clifton judiciously pninneel that no violence should
be used to them at that time. The fellows could only
obtain this delay of puniehment, and they had to open
the ikon., when they were at once marched to the
separate cells. ft was feared there would be a second
disturbance in the afternoon, on account of so many
bad ones being in the cells, and the authorities pre-
L Four of the civil guard were on readiness in
the chaplain's office, chew to the Romanist chapel,
expecting there might be trouble when the omelets
came out of chapel, a pioquet was put in the prisoner's
guard room, near the bachelors' quarters, and the single
sentry on the hank was replaced by two soldiers.
When the convicts came out of chapel, they. spied •
m ople of busbiee above the bank., and perceiving the
soldiers, judged the authorities were ready for them,
110 that they were frightened, and no further dieturb-
ance ensued. In fact one of the noted ringleaders was
at that tune in the punishment celle, locked up, and
his absence depressed the fiery 'spirits of those
ready for mischief. The rebellious convicts may
have judAtsil they would have a long respite
from punishment, lug a Director had been there only a
week or no previously ; but one came on Wednesday
morning, and would doubtless deal with the offences at
um*, at the mambo could not long escape a terrible
aud if, Alf we hear, the night watchmen have
each for the jol. of thrashing them, a few crowns
will be soon earneL The guards at the Prison were
inerea.sed from 12 to 18 on Sunday ; and extra alertness
has to be shown. Should any of the convicts
the soldiers are not allowed to fire on them ynt:fe
it
directions from a superior officer; but so thorough is
the watch kept that it is almost Impossible for any
ill-feeling, however widely spread, to culminate in a
general rising. The majority of the Portlanders koew
little or nothing about the struggle until long after it
was over, so secret are the Prison authorities about all
matters about the convicts, which they conceal as long
as they pueeibly eau. We only hope that secrecy is
not the cover for anything like danger, and cannot
help thinking there would be a more general feeling of
security if the real magnitude and frequency of such
attempts were officially made known.
FLOGGING THE stunxous coevices.
Captain Stopford, one of the Directors, came into
Portland on Wednesday morning, and at once pro-
ceeded to hear the case. The result WM that we find
there were 12 convicts in the gang, black-dressed, and
because the officer spoke to them about keeping back,
they fell on Mitchell, and attacked him, as stated.
Two of them named Grady and Cafferty, ran away
and gave information with the results we have
detailed. Early in the afternoon of Wednesday,
prisoners Ryan, Madden, Allen, Thompson, and
' Kelly received three dozen each, the utmost punish-
ment that can be given. Ryan had been previously
in punishment for knocking down Warder Lull, and
he was tied up first, when he began to sing out of
bravado ; but before the punishment had proceeded
far, lie begged them to take him down, lie was
suffering di eadfully, for Bradfonl the night watchman,
was fresh, and laid on the blows awfully strong, and
Fulcher was not far behind, although generally more
easy in the swing of the terrible cat. Those night
watchmen never see the prisoners except when they
flog them, and consequently they are not troublesl
with fear of reprisals. All the others took the
punishment at first quietly, and suffered much crying
out fearfully before it was over. The renuin-
ing five, on being examined by the doctor, who is
really a good, merciful man, were found not
strong enough for the cat, and they were punished,
and will continue to be so, with bread and water, and
solitary confinement. The punishment of the bread
and water will be continued some days, care being
taken that their health dosz not suffer, and the diet
will probably be occasionally changed for other
rations, and the bread-and-water then returned to for
a few days, until the whole term of punishment is
exhausted. The convicts who were flogged were
probably astounded at the suddenness of their punish-
ment ; flogging often is not given till a night after
sentence has passed, and then the convicts locked up
in the cell will make • noise all night, by calling to
each other "Cheer up! Ryan! " or "Cheer up I
Madden !" as the case may be. In this in.stance the
promptitude of Capt. Stupfonl has had a most deter-
rent effect, and unless there should be a rising from
revenge and despair, it is not likely that we shall very
soon hear of any more convict assaults. The two
convicts who ran away and gave information were
rewanled, having their black dresses taken off, and
they will probably be sent to another prison, lest they
should be attacked 17 their comradm for their proper
conduct in ru g fur help.
