racks, in accordance with the matinee of a court-martial, for
stealing a silver watch from a comrade. The sentence was

ATTEMPT TO BREAK " INTO" MONMOUTH GAOL.—
This heading to a paragraph will doubdi es appear to the
reader to be rather strange and a xtraord;aary. We, Mese
iisouttlahir• Beacon, can believe in a aeons to find the este- ,
nor cit a gaol wall, to get out of the hearing of toil bolts and
bus, and to discontinue the edifying operations of picking
oakum, and perpetually "getting up stairs," with other
interesting adjuncts to gaols, which discipline suggests and
justice dentaidia; but to be ambitious of entering surrepti.
dainty wi,bin the walls of a prison, except with a most des-
perate and drte ntine.l intention, seems quite as irrational and
unaccountable as walking into a lion's jaws. But such has
been the (set. An undonbt- d attempt has been mode to effect
an entry into the ll.mmonth county gaol. Toe governor of
the gaol, Mr. Barrett, who had been in attendance at the
Hik visions for • week, made, on his return, on Saturday
le r, a thorough inspection of the prine, and discovered
that a hole had been made in the outer lodge dem, which
had been filled uo with masticated breed, and whisk had -.
been made by u.ing an instrument calculated to remove a
piece of the door tunnels inches in diameter, the marks of
which were visible The interior of tie door was cased pa
with thin iron. The object of the parties making the at-
tempt ft is impossible to guess at. We hear that it is the
intention of the veiling • agistrates to recommend that fur-
ther provision shall be made for the security of the outer 1.1
doors of the gaol.
MURDER OF MR. CAGE.—Ore of the parties iMpli-
eated has turned approver, and all the murderers are in cue-
tody. The approver's testimony is consistent. He was the man to,
who loaded the guar, and settled the locality fur the mur- geL
d.r ; but he did not fire the shots.
CORN LIFTING.—On Thursday night last, about 1.11;
four hundred men usembled on the lands of Priesthill, in ie
the county of Waterford, and in press nos of the keepers yp
took away all the r rn, cattle. &c., belonging to tenants 15
mused Gluing and Wall, which werediatrained for rent due to
to Kn. Lab -rte ; and next day dug and carried away the SE
potatoes, u also a large quantity of turnips. (310illiir and I:,
Wall now want to get money for giving up peareuion of the cie
lands, though owing two years' rent.—Fe ning Packet. le
RECLAMATION OF LAND FROM RIVERB.—The Lords
Commissioners cf Woods sad Forests have euved notices, „:;,
',Mitring the lend taken in from the river by the Cork, isi
Blsekrock, and Pa/I41(41 Railway Company, and they have eg
writt,n to say that a valuator is instructed to come over and 31
vales the property foe their lordship.. The corporation of
Liverpcol within a few days completed a compromise with "
!be commissioners of Woods and Furst* by enrsentirg to
Day to the credit of their lordships a slim of 160,0001, for 25
land they took in from the river.—Cork Cony if talon.
SHIPWRECK —On Monday, during very thick El

Captain Dorman, from Liverpool to Charhstun, laden with u
salt and outs, struck on the Long Bank cff this harbour, es

A PRINCELY EMIGRANT.—A eon of Prinoe Fre- 19e:

which, it is stated, will call at Plymouth tor other members 40

TEE GREAT WESTERN FISHERIES COMPANY.— 17
The appearance of the New London Company for II
working the fisheries of Ireland is h Ailed most tt„,
favourably by all the Irish provincial papers. The at
Galway Vindicator says In the early part of iss
last June, a sooi•ty, consisting of some of the most st.
eminent merchants in Louden, was formed, and incorporated too
by act of parliament. This corporation had a two-fold object r
in visw—they intended that the starving frith fisherman
should be employed, at the same time that the undertaking 62
should be produeuve of profit to the company itself. We le
are now in a position to state, that some of the most eminent Se
members of the company are at this moment in the west of $8
our county. making arrangements for immediate operations rot
in the fisniug disuict. This is really a move in the right 6e
direction, and sae ur town is one of the most important is is
Ireland—as far u fishing is concerned—we tract we shall be Ili
favoured with a v'sit from the gentlemen who are now so et.
actively engage in this great national undertaking. We &-
know that there are plenty of fine materials in this part of 9
the country ; and we are fully aware that the only thing so
requisite to work the materials is money and enterprise." po
