was slightly out of level. I was pleased at that,
as I thought it showed that he was ,getting
on famously. I then repeated the signal to
him not to stir, and again left him, and employed
myself at my work. In about ten minutes
I went to him again, and he had-then moved about

give the return signal immediately, and I was lifted

so, but were still unaMe to raise him up. I then

DA LING ESCAPE.

A daring escape was made a few evenings ago.by
an Irishman, named M'Quaid, from the Bridewell
at Reading, to which place he had been remanded
on a charge of felony. The particulars, as far as
have been gathered from the official, inquiry, ap-
pear to be that, about 7 o'clock in the evening the
gaoler, who is an elderly and rather infirm man,
went into the yard where the prisoner had been
placed for the purpose of an airing, and desired
that he would return to his cell to be locked up for
the night-. This duty had previously been done by
the gaol r's son, a strong young man ; but the pri-
sener, findiug the gaoler alone, at once deter=
mined upui seeing whether he could not succ 'ea
in effecting Ids escape ; and the prison, being a
place adapted from a portion of the old abbey, pre-
sented no great d:fficulties in the way of his accom•
plishing such a feat. The prisoner, who to all
appearances possessed great muscular strength,
caught hold of the old governor to take
the keys from him, but the latter was not
willing to part with (hem, and a severe scuffle
ensued, which terminated in the primer throwing
the old man on hie back, and the shock which he
received rendered him unable to offer further re-
s'stance. The prisoner got possession of the keys,
and walked threeigh the door and I 'eked it, leaving
the old man help', ss and almost insensible on the
ground. Tha long abience of the governor excited
the suspicions of a woman living in the house, and
her cut iosity led her to go to ascertain the cause.
She had not proceeded far into the prison when
she met the prisoner with the keys iu his hands.
What was to he done was a question which sug-
gested itself to the mind of The priscen-r, for if she
ran back into the house he would be frustrated in
his object, as it was teen only by going through
the dwelling house he would be able to get clear
away. His thoughts served him, and he made up
his ue:nd to put her in a place of security. Ho

took hold of her, and carried her to a part of the
building, closed the door, and bolted it upon her.

eo"e came to the flout door, which is

situated in Friar-street, and to disarm people of
Euspicion he remained a few seconds in the door-
way, and then turning round, and apparently
bidding adieu by bowing several times, he quietly
walked away. He got into a street leading in the
direction of the Great Western Railway, and,
having crossed some gardens and fields, all clue of
him for the present has been lost. In all this time
what lied become of the governer and his female
friend ? No one else being in the house, the only
alternative they had was that of screaming and hal-
looing. They did this as loudly as they could, and
the noise eventually succeeded in atra.ctiug some
one to the house. The noise was followed to the
prisoners, and the discovery was made that the
governor and the woman were both in confinement. -
The woman was instantly released, as the dgor had •
only been belted , but the task of getiing at the
governor was more &fficult, as the prisoner had
taken away the keys with which the door had been
locked. Tue services of a locksmith having been , ,
obtained the door was opened, and the governor
was found to be injured from the force with which
he had beeu thrown down. Ho was removed to
his bed and received proper assistance, and has
