COWES—ISLE OF WIGHT,
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, Nov. 9.—ESCAPE OF PRISONBR.S.—The
number of juvenile thieves who are constantly
effecting their escape from the Reformatory, at Park-
hurst, is so great (10 within the last week ! !) that the
country people are in a state of constant alarm. Four
of those that got away on Saturday last were taken
on Sunday evening at Freshwater, but not till after
they had committed several robberies ; the other two
were taken near Cowes. Three more ran away last
night. One ran off early last week, but after effecting
several robberies he was taken at Wootten -bridge in a
female dress. The parties who took the four received
a reward of five pounds. The lads assign as a rea-
son for their breaking prison the shortness of their
allowance of food. They are from fifteen to nine.
teen years of age, and they say they have only an
allowance for boys of twelve years of age. Be it
what it may, it is high time that some more of •
cient protection was given to the public. It is sail
twenty-five of these lads made an attempt to escape
yesterday, but were prevented by the officers. Those
taken have been transferred to Winchester Gaol, and
it will be no small expense to the county to prose-
cute them at the next assizes.

EAST COWES CASTLE. —This splendid edifice is
reported to be sold. Tl.e purchase money is slid to
have been rather more than 10,000/, the timber
and fixtures to he taken at a valuati,,n. The lute
Lord Shannon gave 20,000/. for the whole and the
furniture.

NOILTIIWOOD HOU'E —There is no truth in the
report that Lord Wil-on had taken this mansion.
We believe its costly furniture will go to the ham-
mer, that not being► the property of the present pos-
sesslr of the estate, and that the house ani park will
then be let. The game is beinv. shot do►cn by hun-
dreds, as it is not Mr. W. G. Ward's intention that there
should be any preserves on his estate. I.)s is a great
boon to the farmers, whise crops, from their numbers,
they nearly destroyed.

INDIAN CLIMBING.—OLIT Indians showed how they
climbed trees to get to the branches; they first cut a
notch with their axe, not far from the ground, then drove
their axe into the trunk as high as they could reach, and
hauled themselves up by the handle, till their toe rested
in the notch; they then cut other notches, and hauled
themselves higher again, till they reached the branches.
Some Imes they fell a tree, and let it fall sloping against
another which they wish to ascend; they then mount the
inclined plane. The young men sometimes practise get-
ting up a tree with a tomahawk in each hand, struck
into the bark alternately behind, which method requ'res
great strength and agility.—Sir.l. Alexander's"Acadie."

THE PLAGUE OF FLIES.—The air seems to stagnate
there, and the closeness is oftentimes terrible to bear, (s-
-pecially as it is accompanied with, first, the minute black
fly, the constant summer torment; the mosquito, with
intolerable singing, the prelude of its sharp probe; the
sand-fly, with its hot slim;; the horse-fly, which seems
to Ink., the bit out of the flesh; and the large moose, ter
speckled-winged fly. We were never free from Ili- s of
some kind or another, and I have seen the five different
kinds just enumerated " doing their worst" at tl e same
time on our flesh, and the black pests digging into it and
elevating their hinder end, like ducks searching below the
surface of a pond.—Sir J. Alexander's "..4eadie."
BALLOONING IN SEARCH OF SIR JOIIN FRANKLIN.
—We mentioned a few days since that Lieutenant Gale
had made a proposition with reference to the use of a
balloon fur traversing the impassable wastes which sepa-
rate Sir John Franklin from his friends. The following
is a letter received by the gallant and enterprising
officer from Lady Franklin:—
"28, Castle-street, Edinburgh, Nov. 5, 1849.
" Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt ofyour letter
of the 22d ult., proposing the use of your balloon in the
discovery of the missing expedition in the Arctic regions.
It will give me great pleasure if your plans, when ex-
amined, are approved by men of science capable of
estimating them, and you cinnot doubt that I should
greatly rejoice in the adoption of any means which pro-
mise to aid the object I have most at heart, and especi-
ally if they are recommended to me by the disinterested
and noble motives you have kindly expres'ed.
"I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" Lieutenant Gale, RN." " JANE FRANKLIN.

FREE PARDON OF A CONVICT.—Thomas Kimpton,
formerly a police-constable, and who was s ntenced to
seven years transportation, for having committed per-
jury when giving his evidence shortly after the Dagen.
ham murder, by stating that his superior officer had
been present on duty at or about the time the murder
was committed, when it was afterwards proved that the
superior officer was in bed at the time the constable said
he was on duty, received a free plrdon yesterday. From
some circumstances which have siace comp to the know-
ledge of the Secretary of State, Sir George Grey ob-
tained her Majesty's sanction to the liberation of the
prisoner, who was one of the convicts on board of the
Warrior convict-ship at Woolwich, having been sen-
tenced to transportation in July, 1847. Another con-
stable was convicted of perjury at the same time, having
given similar evidence as to the presence of his superior
officer, which

OPENING OF THE SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM'
RAILWAY.—On Thursday Captain Wynne, the Govern-
ment inspector, went over the remainder of this line, and
intimated approval for its ope:iing, which, in accordance
with the certificate of the Thilway Commissioners will
take place on nattily rr.xt, with excursion trains. On
Tu-sday it will be regularly opened for public traffic,
running six trains each way between Shrewsbury and
Wolverhampton. Mr. Stephenson has also inspected
the tunnel at Oakengate, abi ut the security of which
some doubts were entertained, and reports that it is
perfectly safe.
FREE KIRK DISCIPLINE.—The Aberdeen Journal
informs us that, on Sunday week, t vo repentant sinners,
a man and a woman, stood in sackcloth, on the cutty
stool in the Free Church Lyb,ter.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Ointment and
Pills, a never-failing Remedy for the Cure of Scurvy and
Scorbutic Humours.—Thomas Andrews of Sutton-street,
Newcastle, had been severely afflicted for years with scurvy and
scorbutic humours all over his body. He had been under the
treatment of several medical men, but to no purpose, and at
last he was pronounced incurable. The poor fellow then, as a
forlorn hope, commenced using Holloway's Pills and Ointment,
which so effectually eardicated the disease from his system that
in the course of six weeks he was enabled to resume his former
employment, and his skin is now as clear as that of an infant.—
