ESCAPE OF FIVE CONVICT LUNATICS AT SALISBURY. 7
On Saturday night five convict lunatics effected their
escape from the asylum of Dr. Finch, at Fisherton, near
Salisbury. It appears that shortly after one of the
keepers had retired to rest he was seized by five of the
patients, some of whom held him by the throat, whilst
the others knelt upon him, completely overpowering
him and placing him in bodily fear. After making him
secure, and preventing his access to the pull of the alarm
bell, they went out of the ward and effected their escape,
having first obtained possession of the necessary keys,
some of which they placed in the outside of the locks
belonging to the doors leading into the wards occupied
by the other keepers, thus preventing the possibility of
their being opened from the inside. Two of them have
since been apprehended.
A LONG VOYAGE.--The ship, Royal Stuart, char
tered by the Port of Southampton Emigration Company,
left Southampton on Friday for Australia, filled with
emigrants. She is the largest emigrant ship that has
left the port, being about 1,400 tons burden. The Royal
Stuart was built about two years since, and has only
made one voyage from England, but that was a pretty
long one. In October 1851, she left Plymouth for S'd
3-
ney, with emigrants. From thence she went to Port
Stephen, the most northernly settlement on the eastern
coast of Australia, and took in a cargo of wild horses
for India. After passing through Torres Straits she
called at the Dutch Island of Timor, and reached Madras
in August, 1852. Here she was chartered by the Go-
vernment to proceed to Rangoon, and was towed across
the Bay of Bengal, laden with soldiers, cavalry horses,
camp followers, guns, and stores. From Rangoon she
proceeded to Calcutta, from whence she sailed for the
Cape of Good Hope and England, arriving at The latter
in April, 1f453. From Sydney to India she was manned
partly by Otaheitian sailors. She is now partially
manned by Lascars and Africans,
