GLASGOW, OCT. 11.—We had a heavy storm last night
from the north-cast, and it continues to blow hard.
An attempt was made, on Friday evening to
break out of our gaol, by four prisoners—(one of then a
desperate character) and two deserters. Th iensors
were confined in a room near the top of the bniltlitt7,. 1:1
the couse of the afternoon, the under-gaoler oak them a
supply of coals, when they told him they Ovenlil want nu
more that evening, and he need not trenb`oe himgelt*
lie thought it proper, however, to pay them an teeltxl.:ote.l
visit some time afterwards; and on looking intl the toam,
perceived a quantity of bricks and mortar ream aitout
the floor. lie immediately gave the alarm. and ( Nir.
Coates being from home) called Kern the delttors A r their
assistance, which was most promptly afforded. 0.1 n.:arti-
ing to the door, it was remit' to be fasten..! t'
of the prisoners threatened to attack any ret•-•!: wi:
should attempt to enter. This hail no egl.et as tee eesoloe
arid his party, who forced their way into t',l • en. ant!
secured the intnattes. It was found that. ki moan's of at
piece of iron hoop, they had picked the lime ot•t of the
wall, and thereby loose:tea and taken out a number of ti:
bricks. 114 r this means, they intended, below thee/ Wm
locked up for the night, to have opened a way to the root
of the prison, front which they could have de-eel:de.: I,y
the gaeder's house and o.hcr adjacent buildings, and would
then have had only to scale the wale, in order to rtztli•t &4,•k
liberty.—ffnll P., red.
