Outbreak at a Roman Catholic Reformatory.

The Notting ilant guardian reports another serious out-
break at the Mount St Bernard Reformatory, a Roman
(Catholic institution. On the 22d of May four criminals
made their escape between the hours of 12 p.m. and 5 a.m.
by cutting up the sheets and letting themselves down from
the dormitory windows. They afterwards broke open the
tailor's shop, equipping themselves each in a suit of clothes
belonging to the band. They were afterwards captured at
Derby, and committed for trial. On the 24th a general mu-
tiny took place. The young criminals, to the number of 180,
refused to work or obey the officers of the establishment,
and defied them to touch or interfere with them. Some few
of the youths who were disposed to obey were mercilessly.
punished by their more hardened companions. In the after-
noon about 50 went off in a body towards Bardon, armed
with knives, sticks, and stones. Some bricklayers and
labourers near Bardon attempted to capture them ; but they
immediately drew out their knives and threw stones as thick
as hail, and one man was severely injured, The men, how-
ever, succeeded in capturing 7 of the boys, and took them
back. In the meantime others had also gone out for a pleasure
trip. In the evening about 70 returned, defying the offi-
cers to touch or punish them, and again had the place is
their possession. They ordered and were supplied with
what they required, and after much persuasion they went
to bed. Next morning, happening to see a farmer, named
Burgess (who had rendered some assistance on the pre-
vious day in their capture), pass, about thirty boys fol-
lowed him into the Forest Rock Inn, and insisted on the
landlord turning him out that they might have their re-

in the cellars. The son of the landlord ran to Whitwiek for
assistance. Inspector Ward collected a few officers and pro-
ceeded to the spot, but found the boys had gone, A search
was made, and two were captured, and shortly after six
others. These were next day sentenced to 14 days' hard la .
hour. On Thursday evening the inspector was sent for to the
reformatory and took five men with him. He found the
place in the greatest disorder. The authorities would give no
orders for the officer's interference, leafing they were not
strong enough to cope with the rioters, and Mr. Quics,
the manager, wished to send to Whitwick for more help.
The inspect ,r would not permit this, feeling confident that
with the small force under his orders he could cope with
them. The boys were persuaded again to go to bed,
about nine o'clock, and about eleven,!Mr. Quick, accom-
panied by the Inspector and his force, proceeded to the
dormitories, and as the ringleaders were pointed out
s.cured them, and locked up thirty-six. The next morn-
ing ten of the worst were picked out and taken to the
Ashby lock-up. Twenty two were then tied up to the
triangle, one after the other, and severely flogged,
the whole of she boys being drawn up in square to witness
the punishment, and the police being present to
prevent
any brought

to-the dormitories. On Saturday ten more were

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE THAMES.--Yesterday
morning a young man named Peter Craig, mate on
board the brig Industry, of Alverstoke, now lying in the
Pool, had occasion to go on the fore-part of the ship, and
the bowsprit being under repair, it is supposed he took hold
of a slack rope, and afell overboard. His cries for help were
immediately heard, but the tide running strong, and having
received a blow on the head in tailing, before a'boat could
be lowered his cries were heard no more, nor could the people
in the boat discover his body.
