ESCAPE OF FOUR PRISONERS
FRONI MONMOUTH GAOL.

MONMOUTH, SEPT. B.—This morning a desperate
attempt was made by four prisoners to escape from
our gaol. The names of the prisoners were Mayow,
Albert, Hayes, and Murphy. The three first-named
were convicted at the late Monmouth assizes of ex-
tensive burglaries at Usk, and were sentenced to long
periods of transportation. Murphy was also under
sentence of transportation. He had been convicted of
a burglary with violence, and sentence of death was
recorded against him, which was, however, commuted
to 20 years' transportation. Mayow would appear to
have been the ringleader in the matter. He had
broken one of the legs from the iron bedstead on
which he slept, with which he worked out the panel
of the door of his cell. In order to prevent a light
from appearing through the aperture tv hich he had
made, he hung his bedclothes in front of it. He then
wrenched off the locks from the doors of the other pri-
soners cells, and they secreted themselves in a vacant
cell, and awaited the appearance of the turnkeys. At
about a quarter to six o'clock a turnkey named Allpass,
whose duty it was to inspect the prisoners in the morn-
ing, having obtained the keys from the governor (Mr.
Barrett) entered the cell of a prisoner. He had scarcely
unlocked the door when Mayow rushed from his
hiding place, and struck him a deadly blow on the
side of the head, which knocked him, senseless and
bleeding, to the ground. Mayow then secured the
keys, and locked Allpass in with the prisoner, telling
the latter to finish him. He then gave the signal to
the other prisoners whom he had released, and they,
following him, escaped to the lobby near the front
door. Here they again waited until the turnkey
came to open the door. They were armed with the
large padlocks and ponderous keys, and they rushed
upon him, and struck him several violent blows,
from which he bled profusely. They then un-
locked the outer door, and escaped. They threw
the keys away, and ran towards Backholt wood.
By this time the first turnkey who was attacked
had sufficiently recovered to alarm the governor,
and help was sent for into the town. A large
body of the inhabitants sallied forth, and scoured the
country in the direction the prisoners were seen to
take. They were all taken before ten o'clock, and
again safely lodged in the gaol. On the road to
the gaol they confessed to the parties who secured
them that it was their intention to rob several houses
in the neighbourhood. The injuries which the turn-
keys have received are very great, but they are suffi-
ciently well to attend to their duties. The magis-
trates met at the gaol at an early hour, to make
inquiries into the matter.

One of the Paris journals states that Marshal Soult
is seriously indisposed at his estate of Soult-Berg.

BISHOPRIC OF ARGYLL AND THE ISLES.—We un-
derstand that the causes which have hitherto prevented
the effectual carrying out of the proposal of Dr. David
Low, Bishop of Moray, to endow this new see, have
been removed, and the election of the Rev. A. Ewing as bishop of the new diocese was formally confirmed by
the College of Bishops, at the meeting of the Episcopal
Synod held here on Thursday last. It is expected.n that
the consecration of Mr. Ewing will take place ! th...

THE THAMES TUNNEL OUIDONE.—If is proposed
to tunnel the St. Lawrence, opposite the island of Mon-
treal, in order to connect the railroad running to the
Atlantic. The proposed tunnel under the St. Lawrence
at its narrowest part, near St. Helen's Island, will be
1 about one-third of a mile from shore to shore, and about
one-third the length of the principal tunnels in Eng-
land. The depth of the water in the river is forty-three
feet.

A NOVEL PAUPER.—In the stomach of a cod,
caught at Kishern the other day, was found part of one
of the Government meal-bags, containing the broad
arrow, and an order attached for fourteen pounds of
meal. The inspector was a good deal nonplussed a 4
