Letters from Paris mention the sudden fall of the
new Three per Cent. Stock to 75, and ascribe it to the
misapprehension of the brokers respecting the tight to
the interest on the 5 per Cents. up to the period of de-
claring in favour of the conversion. It was supposed
that any stockholder making his election in favour of
the new stock, would abandon all claim for interest on
the old &Wes s but it appears that he will be entitled
to the quarter's interest up to theft,' of June, at which
time the interest on the Three per Cents. will commence.
The value of the latter was consequently lessened by
l per cent. and it fell in nearly that proportion.
By letters received at the New England Coffee-
house, we learn the appointment, by the PRZSIDSKT
of the United States. of Mr. RUFUS KING, of New
York, to be Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary to Great Britain, in place of Mr. Rolm, who
is appointed Secretary of the Treasury.
Soon after Thrpiit, who was committed from Marl-
borough-street Police Office on Saturday last, upon a
charge of burglary, was removed from the lock-up
room at the back of the Office, and conveyed to New-
gate, it was discovered that a desperate effort had
been made by Come person to force op a part of the
floor of the room, and that failing in that attempt, a
like effort was made to wrench oft the iron bars and
grating of the cell window, and break through the
wall. Arnem, the only other prisoner confined there,
in custody for an assault, was questioned about these
appearances and he stated, that soon after Turpin's
wife, who had been permitted to visit her husband in
the room, had left him, Turpin took out of his pocket
a crow-bar, and without any ceremony or saying a
word, but looking horrors, commenced wrenching the
boards of the floor; but not finding any chance of
escape that way, be turned his attention to the wall
and iron bars of the cell, which be in part forced off,
and had he not been so soon removed from the place,
he most certainly would have effected his exit through
the opening; which, had hp done, there was nothing
to impede his flight beyond. The man said that he
himself was afraid to st.r or say a word, or make the
slightest noise, lest the crow=bar should be directed
from the wall to his head. Information of this attempt
to escape, was immediately silst off to the Governor of
Newgate, when search was made for the crow-bar,
but without effect; and it is supposed that he contrived
to get rid of it on his way to prison, or after he
entered there. The supposition is, that Mrs. Turpin
carried in the crow-bar to her husband, when leave
was given her to visit him at the Office. Had Turpin
persevered in his endeavour to escape by tearing op
the floor of the room, he would have dropped into a
' well nearly 30 f. et deep.
