BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, MARCII 11.—The sales
of sugar in the past week have been, as it was natural to ex-
pect, very trifling. The long agitated question relative to the
duty being now about to be decided, probably business will be
resumed more actively. It is currently reported that the cargo
recently arrived per Reliance, from the Mauritiusf has been
privately dixposed of for cash, and will not make its appearance
in the general market.—Bristol Mercuril.
A bold attempt at escape from the prison of Coucy
le Chateau, in the Aisne, was made a few days since. Restel,
a soldier of the garrison at La Fere, having obtained a furlough
for a few days, went to Coucy to visit a carpenter with whom
ha had worked two years, Unfortunately, on the last day of
his leave, he got drunk, committed acts of violence, and was
sent to prison. His vexation was :nereased by learning that he
was to be handcuffed, and thus conducted by gendarmes to
Chauny, where his father and mother lived. Determined to
avoid this disgrace, he contrived to get from his place of con-
finement in the Hotel-de-Vi le up to the bell-tower, which is
immediately above it, and, having reached the top, got out
through a narrow window. Hence he jumped down on the
roof of the building, which was 20 feet below, and then rolled
or slid down the roofs of other buildings, until he fell into the
street, a depth in all of more than 70 feet. He was stunned by
the fall, but able to rise again almost immediately, and, receiving
a glass of water from a woman near whose house he fell, he the
next moment darted off at his utmost speed. He was, how-
ever, unable to go far, and therefore returned and surrendered
himself. His bruises were found to be severe, and he was of
necessity placed in the hospital.
Sir Francis Burdett and a Deputation had cn
view with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on ,Saturday
at his official residence in Downin-street.
