nifested on Friday night, in thr nuigithitor'-ooti of

ceedings of the female cons ieta in ?ewptr; who,
without any assignable (-alas:, commenced a most
dreadful screaming, and procec kd to break the win-

prAuptitude took measures to quell the riot--hand-
cuffing the most refractory, and removing othrrs to
a different !fart of the gaol. ft was supported without
the prison, to be an a'tempt to rescue the State pri-
