This (Tuceday) morning, ehortlybefore six o'clock,
some hundreds of persons assembled before Newgate gaol
observing blanket, tied in knots and • ladder over the
entranoe of the kitchen where criminals are led to ezeeti
tion. The following particulars were gathered. Philip

burg, was committed for robbing a fellow oountayman of
60i. He is described to bey feet 9 inches, fair somplexion,
light brown hair, and rather stout, The prisoner, we under-
stand, was confined in a cell of the new building of the west
wing, and escaped over the roof, thence into the Old Bailey.
Some butchers aided him ; and a blue smock being placed
over his clothes, in a few minutes he effected his escape.
Mr. Alderman Challis and Mr. Alderman Allen, the visit-
ing magistrates, are making a searching investigation, but
nothing has transpired. A handsome reward is offered for

SHOOTING ON THE HIGH ROAD.-ATROCIOUS

OUTRAGE NEAR BRADFORD.

On Saturday night, about half-past ten o'clock,
as Mr. Joshua Sharp, farmer, of Pudsey, and his wife were
returning home from Bradford in a phaeton, and when near
the place where the old toll-bar stood, on the Leeds-road, a
loaded gun or pistol was discharged at them. They
distinctly saw the Bash, as well as heard the report, but
were unable to see the person who fired, who was concealed
at the side of a hedge. The horse they had in the phaeton
took fright, and galloped to Podsev. Neither Mr. nor Mrs.
Sharp was injured, nor was the horse; but on examining
the vehicle when he arrived at home Mr. Sharp found that
the stock of his whip, which had been all the time io the
socket, had been struck apparently by • ball, and was
broken. About 11 o'clock the same night, on the same
road, but from • quarter to half • mile nearer Bradford,
Mr. David Smith, a dealer in cloth, who lives at Little
Horton, was shot at in • similar manner, and wounded.
He had been to Leeds, and had intended taking •
train at Stanningley for Bradford, but missed it ; conse-
quently be continued his walk home. When he had got to
the read leading to Bradford Moor he heard a noise behind
him, as if somebody was breaking down a hedge. He looked
round, and seeing two men he set off running towards the
Bradford Bernick'. In an instant! somebody discharged
• fire-arm, and he was shot in the right shoulder, the
ball, or whatever it was. penetrating half an inch, to the
bone. He ran on, shouting " Napier!" until he got
to the Barrack Tavern, which be entered, and there he
remained until the police found him, and went with him
to the West Biding police-station, at Bradford. His wound
was there examined -by Mr. Terry, who was of opinion, from
its appearance, that it had been caused by • conical rifle
ball. The ball had gone clean through the man's coat,
I waistcoat, shirt, and flannel singlet, anti after entering his
I shoulder and striking the bone had glanced off. The
wound is not dangerous. He is unable to give any de-
scription of the two men whom he saw just after he heard
the noise in the hedge. Many persons who were oat in the
neighbourhood, heard the report of a gun or pistol, and
Mr. Smith'. cries of " Murder ;" but he was so terrified
that he did Dot stop to tell woos what had happened
until he got into the Barrack Tavern. The police have
been unable to obtain any clue to the perpetraton of these
atrocious outrages.

A BANQUET IN A SEWER.—Yesterday afternoon,
at the invitation of Mr. W. Webster, the contractor for
carrying out that portion of the metropolitan main drain-
age from Deptford to the outfall at Enth, the members of
the Greenwich District Board of Works and about 500
inhabitants of the locality proceeded to inspect the line of
sewer previous to its being handed over to the Metropolitanßaanl.
Boanl. About twelve o clock the company assembled in
hoot of St. Alphage Church, Greenwich, the band of
the volunteer rifles being iiilattendsuice ; and the descent,
which occupied some time, having been accomplished by
means of a long ladder, a novel scene was presented. The
immense archway of brickwork, the radius of which is struck
from a centre of 5 feet 9 inches, giving 11 feet 6 inches in
the clear, ordiameter, sod of circular form, had been pro-
vided with a temporary floor for a distance of about
one mile, and was lighted on both sides with lamps.
The refreshment tables were abundantly supplied. The
most interesting portion of the proceedings was the
presentation of • testimonial from the inhabitants of
Greenwich to Mr. Webster. The chair was occupied by
Mr. Bristow, M. P, who presented the address to Mr. Web-
ster' and ()eered that the sewer in which the large num-
ber before him were now assembled was, in his opinion, one
of the greatest engineering works of modern times. A
similar testimonial was presented to Mr. Jennings, agent to
the contractor, who ackuowledged the same in suitable
terms. Several toasts were duly honoured, and addresses
delivered, and after remaining underground about two hours
the company ascended.
A WATERBPOUT. That curious phenomenon,
• waterspout, was seen to pass over Preston, Sussex,
on Thursday evening last. At the same moment was
to be seen spanning the eastern horizon, from north to
south, one of the meat splendid rainbows which has been
beheld for • considerable time in this district. Its reflec-
tion was almost as brilliant as an ordinary rainbow. It
was 7 o'clock p.m., and the sunset was, as might be sup-
, with such an effect, of extraordinary brilliancy,
• hting up the eastern side of Brighton, and its mfr
o windows, like an illumination. The phenomenon
in its full beauty for above a quarter of an hour. There
was • little thunder, and some rain • but the storm which
threatened passed off.—Souse, Ads rinser.

grazing farms in the Perthshire Highlands have been re-
cently let at greatly increased rents to new tenants. The

A traveller who has just returned from Spain acmes
the Pyrenees gives an account of • curious sight which be
witnessed daring • short halt at • village high up in the
mountains. Having an hour to spare, he walked out to ad-
mire the scenery, and his attention was attracted bya num-
ber of eagles fluttering at some distance. On looking
more closely he observed that about twenty of those birds
were mimed in • fight over the body of • dead cow with as
many wolves, which were, however, at last obliged to yield
np poseeemon of the prise. At • short distance he also
named • brows bear watching the combatants, but not
daring to advance till the eagles bad satisfied their hunger,
and Liken to flight.
