Tur,DAY-
The (earful outhr,ak aLi .11 occurred at the con-
vict eotabliblimeot ycaterday, the few hasty particulars of
which were fui warded last ni4ht, was of a far more terrible
character any which y, tt i ken place at thin prison,
apreadiag the utnant terror not only among the prison offi-
cials, bat also throughout the condo town, when the fear-
ful excesses which were living en .ticti at the prison became
known When it is stateil thrit the whole eleven hundred
ionvicts succeeded in overpowering the keepers, and obtain-
ing complete possession of the establishment, which they
ha I fin time, actually setting fir, to the prison, some
idea of the atoming nature of the outhreak yesterday may
be imagined. Su alartnin3, indeed, was the conduct of the
pr neri. that it was only with !lie assistance of a thou and
soldier); that coutiets were overpowered and again
secured in their cells.

With the exception of those convict. who were kept
dimmed together in the eel:. ler being concerned iu the re-
volt and mutiny on M. Mary's Island. 011 Friday Let,
scarcely any symptoms of another outbreak were observable
yesteolay 'mining. The convicts in the cells, however, in-
dulged at intervals in hooting. and yell., and other noises ;
but as they were securely coolued awaiting the punishment
to be indicted oo them, they were not interfered with. The
other convicts were norched to their work as usual in the
rooming. and at the or, per hour were taken back to the
penes' for their dinner. It then became known that
Captain C.untier, the director-general of the convict
establishment., had arrived at the prison to in-
vestigate the eireunistani es attending the outbreak hat
wet::. soil rumours were circulated among the convicts
that .if the ringleaders on that occurrence had
larvu selected and order-il by Captain Gambier to be
dogged. This. appeared to eirse the deepest discontent
arum; the prisoners, and another outbreak appeared to be
immured. After the men had finished their dinner the
w.eal preparations were made for them to resume their
work. Numbers of the tourist.. however, expressed their
determinates] not to recommence work, and dared the
keepers and warders to attempt to make them. They
were. nevei theism, removed from their eells into the yard,
when a gang of about r 0 suddenly turned upon their
keepers. wl they aeon overpowered and drove before
then The other convict. quickly of theircomaides who
had coi inieuveil tin outbreak, and a meant appalling scene
:.proer and destruct:oo ensued. The keepers on
duty. about ino in number, were all driven from the
prison-yard with threats that they would all be murdered
if they did not make their wipe. The keys of the cells
and of the venom parte of the pries were seised from
them, and the remainder of the convicts released. The
wildest uproar now ensued, and the scene which at this
time presented itself in the interior of the prison is de-
scribed bv the officials as bailing description. On hearing
of th outbreak, Captain Gambier, and Captain Powell, the
governor, together with the deputy-governor and the other
principal offii cm of the establishment, were immediately in
the prison-yard, with the hope of restoring order and in-
duo the prisolien to return to their cells. With some
hundreds of infuriated ru!'ians to deal with, their efforts
were of course useless, and there is no doubt that had
the; remained among the cone acts their lives would have
been .44Crifieed. After gaining their liberty the convicts
irrimetioitely commenced a wholesale work of destruction
is the interior of the prison. A large number of the con-
vista rumba' into the office of Captain Powell, where they
commenced destroying the books end papers and every
other *irritable article on which they vould lay their hands,
sleeks, tabk.w, chairs, and everything which could le broken
up being quickly de-troved. They then endeavoured to set
the prison ou fire, and the laiildins was actually fired in
two or three placm, from which the dames began to pour
forth. The keepers wa:lers, however, succeeded in
getting the eogines, which are always kept in readiness,
into play, sod the flames were extinguished, or there
is no doubt the whole bundle; would have been burnt
down.

During this time ,ther parties of convicts were still en.
gaged in destroying everything on which they could lay
their hands, the furniture in each of the cells being
Is ought out and broken, the eell windows and nearly every
square of gle a width could be seen smashed, while the
lame stove M the centre of the building was turned over by
main force. The prison clocks, as well as the nor.
hussies, the instruments in use in the establishment to
register the attendaoces of the keeper* at night, were all
wantonly smashed to atoms. After the work of destruc•
lion had been curried on fur some time, it became evident
that the whole of the convicts would effect their escape
unless they were overpowered. Messengers were accord-
i aly despatched by t.Lptains I :ambler and Powell to the gar-
rison for the assistance of the military. lti the meantime,
Major Rodney, who happened to Ise in the neighbourhood
of th 1,63•013 with a number of the Royal Marines, who were
uudergolog their ride instruction, deemed it his duty
to march his men down to the prison to reinter any
assistance that might be required. Messengers were also
despatched to the dockyard for the assistance of the police
and toe soldiers on duty at that establishment, and a strong
body of polies, under the directions of Inpector Pothers,
immediately proceeded to the prison.

The moment the intelligence of the convict revolt was
received at the garrison shout a thowrind troop were im-
mediately despatched to the prison, including upwards of
400 of the Royal Marius, two companies of the Royal
Eogieerra, the ith awl :15th, under the C.,01111110,1 of colonel
Harman, C. 13., and upwards cf 500 men of the rewmente
of the line, limier the c ~,,, wand of Colonel Jervis. Each of
the troops was pmvhlesl with tee rounds of ball cartridge. On
the soldiers arriving at tee prison It is stated that they
were improperly kept waiting outside before they were
called upon to act : whether this was the case or nut will
doubtless form the subject for future inquiry. After some
delay the order was given for the troop, to eater the prison,
when about 700 men were marched iuside, the remainder
Mew disposed outside to prevent any of the convicts
escaping. The moment the ,oldies made their appearance
they were received by the couvicts with the most dreadful
yells. The comhiand was then given fur them to charge
the convicts and drive them into their cells. At this time
the warders rushed forward, and usiug their truncheons
with the utmost freedom, hocked by the soldiers, who
charged steadily forward. the whole of the convicts were at
length driven into their ~ells, inane of them muttering
severeiv from the blows iadiuted ou them by the stares el
the warden.

Everything on which the convicts could lay their hands
has been entirely destroyed, and the damage done during
the two hours or more which the convict, hold pus-
session of the interior of the prison is computed ea being at
least I,OOW. After the convicts had been securely fastened
in their cells a portion of the troops were removed from
the prison, but several hundred men of the Roved Engi-
neers, Royal Marines, and the line, remained in the prism
all last night, and have been retained there during to-day.
After the revolt had been put down upwards of thirty of
the riegbaiders were selected and placed in irons ; they
were then securely chained together and placed in one
cell, to await a severe punishment to be inflicted on there.
None of the convicts have been removed from tbeircella to
work treday, but the whom.• have been under confinement.
This morning Captain t:arubier, having been satisfied as to
the ringleaders in the outhoNik yesterday, ease orders fur
fusty of them to receive each three dozen lashes. Appli-
cation having been made to the authorities at the garrison,
the halberds were sent to the prison from the Marine-
barrack.s, ►od eight drummers despatched to the prison this
afternoon to administer the punishment which was indicted
on the oariets, in the presence of a strong body of troopp.
This, it is expected, will have the effect of restoring order
in the prison, especially as about 50 of the worst characters
will be sent beck to AI illbank and Pentomille to undergo the
severe thecipline carried out at thee* establishments.

LATEST P.\IITICULARS.
This morning General :Sir Joshua Jebb, K.C.8., the in-
spector-general of prisons,arrived at the convict prison, and,
is conjunction with Captain Gainbier and Captain Powell,
was employed mine time is the investigation into the dis-
turbances of yesterday at..l the fonner occmsion. The result
of his inquiry has been that tU men sre ordered to be
severely dogged, and afterwards sent to the Millbank and
Pentonville establishments. In accordance with his orders,
12 meu have keen severely dogged to-day. including Hammett,
who was the ringleader in the mutiny on Friday last at St.
Mary's Island.

One of the convict-keepers, named Goad, is suffering
severely from injuries indicts,' on him yesterday by the
convicts, but his injuries are not likely to prove fatal.
The ringleaders in the revolt are alio securely chained
tog..ther in the bath room, where they are to remain until
they rresirc their punish:neut.
A guar.' of 100 soldiers, with their rides loaded, will re-
Main on dui) at the prima to-night.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-FEB. 12.
Sittings in Banco.—(Batore Justices Wightman, Crompton
Hill, and Blackburn.)
THE. COMEX T. LEATHAL—THE WAKEFIELD micros CASL

This case came before their lordships on an argument on
a rule fora new trial. The defendant had been indicted
under the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act by the Attor-
ney-General for bribery at the election for Wakefield, for
which he was returned, and unseated on petition. The in-
dictment contained six counts, charging the defendant with
having placed 2,00 W. in the hands of one Gilbert, a parlia-
mentary agent, with the intent that that sum, or a portion
of it, should be expended in bribery. The trial took
place before Mr. Baron Martin at the Jast summer
assizes fur York, when the defendant was 'found guilty.
A rule was subsequently moved for by Sir F. Kelly for a
new trial on several points. The first was whether the in-
formation ought not to have been laid within a year from
the commission of the alleged offence. The second point
related to the first count, u to the application of the
V.llOO/. ; and a third wan as to the improper reception of
evidence. The court granted a rule, which now came on
fur argument.
The Solicitor-General, Mr. Overend Mr. Monk, and Mr.
L'leasby, now appeared to show cause against the rule.
Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Edward James, and Mr. Quain ap-
peared in its support.
Mr. Justice Crompton said that the rule for a new trial
must he discharged. He bad not from the beginning of the
case any doubt of the meaning of the act of parliament.
They had no power to send the case to another court, and
if they had it was not a case of so much difficulty as to
require it. The document in question was not excludei
from the evidence by anything in the Mth section. The im-
portant letter in the case was one sent by Wainwright to the
defendant, and not by the defendant, nor was It part of
his statement in any sense of the word. A person was not
to be protected from a document referred to by him in his
statement, and when in the handwriting of another person.
A statement by word of mouth, or made at full length in
writing, would be protected, but a document referred to in
his examination or in Isis statement was not so. Mr. Justice
Wightraan, who had just left the court, held the sumo
opinion.
Mr. Justice Hill and Mr. Justice Blackburn concurml.
Rule discharged.
