Wednesday three of the prisoners at the depot at
Perth, found their way, by means of false keys, to an
empty cellar under the tower. They had with them
suits of black, with crape., for their hats, in which
they intended to have dressed themselves over their
prison jackets, and to have walked out with the
crowd, at the hour of market. They were discover-
ed, however, by a ptrson who had gone into their
place of concealment to examine the water pipes.—
Had they escaped discovery, two more were to have
Joined them.

Last week was committed to Exeter Gaol, under a
warrant from the Coroner,J.Jackroa, a Mack, charged
with the wilful murder of Powell. The patties
belonged to the Salvador del Mundo, in Hamoaze,

ing, and that the black, after swearing, with a tre-
mendous oath that he would knock the other into a
large rub of boiling cocoa, which had just been drawn
from the coppers, tor breakfast, actually carried his
threats into complete execution, by a heavy blow on
the mouth of the unfortunate Powell, which drove
him into the tub. The upper part of the body of the
latter was immersed in the boiling liquor; and, after
languishing two days in horrible torments, during
which time all the skin came off the parts immersed,
he was relieved from his sufferings by death.
For some time past, considerable quantities of
whiskey have been smuggled into Glasgow by people
who made a trade of carrying the spirits on their
backs, in small kegs and jars. Friday morning last,
between two and three o'clock, eight of these men
were encountered on the Garccnbe road, about two
miles from Glasgow, by a party of Excisemen, well
armed, and the tesult was, that tour of the smugglers
were carried to the Infirmary, severely wounded ;
one of whom died soon after he was brought there ;
and another, it is apprehended, cannot survive.
