TRENTON. Sent. Is.

TRENTON, Sept. IL.
The Mail Robbers, confined in the
State-Prison, near this city, attempted to
effect their escape on Wednesday evening
last. They had loosened the staples of
their iron door, which communicated with
the entry and as one of the keepers, Mr..
Lawrence, approached their room, to see
if all was we'll, two of them seized him,
and disarmed him of his dirk, and one Of
them thrust his fingers in bis mouth to
gag him, declaring at the same time they
did not wish to hurt him, but only to pre-
vent his giving an alarm before they could
get off. Mr.. Lawrence, not feeling him
self very secure 10 their hands, made a
violent effort, and succeeded 10 dragging
them to part of the entry where he
could call for assistance. They Instantly
let go their hold, and retreated towards
their room. Mr.. L. discharged one PTS
tol at them without effect, and his second
missed fire. The other keepers arrived,
and found the prisoners shut up in their
room, and refusing admittance until they
obtained promise that no attempt should
be made on their lives. This being stip.
ulated, they surrendered, and were i'm.
mediately conducted to separate cells
They had ladder completely prepared,
made of materials which their hunks fur
nished, by which, could they have reached
the wall, they would have simultaneously
gained its outside. They do not appear
TO have had any understanding with the
other prisoners.
So frequent have been the attempts late
lily to escape from the State Prison, shat
the Keepers have to employ the utmost
vigilance to detect and defeat the various
plots: and the cells are now full Of their
lringleaders.

The Coroner was called on Monday
evening TO view the body OF an infant male
colored child. at 81 William-street. Yer
dict of the jurors, that the child came to
its death by blows inflicted on its head.
II was further proved that the child was
confined in a chest by the mother, and was
taken out by Mrs. Ryland, and placed on
a SHELF Mrs. Ryland then went out TO
procure assistance, and on her return
found the child replaced 10 the chest, and
the key 10 the possession of its mother.
The Jurors are of opinion, that the above
circumstances would warrant belief that
the mother committed the act. She has
been committed to Brideweli.
Also, on Tuesday afternoon, to view
the body of colored man, named Peter, a
native of Schodack, Rensselaer, county,
who unfortunately fell overheard from
Captain SicSels' sloop, from Albany, lying

fire companies promptly repaired to the
place--but their exertions could only save
q part Of the fence and frame OF the bar,
and some of the trees and shrubbery 10 the
garden. About the commencement of the
scene OF lawless violence, boy, in at.
tempting to climb over into the garden, is
said TO have been ordered down, but re-
tusing to obey, and striking the man who
ordered him off, he received blow which
Frustrated him, and he is since stated to be
dead. This circumstance has been mem
toned as an apology for the subsequent
outrages which occurred, but it affords
mot even palliative. Ii was the law, and
not sensetess mob, that had right to re-
venge the death OF The boy.
Why the proper authorities did not at
once call out force sufficient to crush
the mob in its bud, we cannot tell 1t
seems to us that solitary corps would
have quelled it. But life has been lost,
Mr.. Michel's balloon has been destroyed,
Mr.. Magner, and the owners of the Vaux-
hall property have greatly suffered, aud
this great city is deprived Of most agreea-
BILE place of resort 10 the summer months.
Thus ended that calamitous day; and thus
have few of the most worthless part of
the community brought disgrace upon
Philadelphia, which her known pacific,
quiet and orderly character does not
merit.
Fifteen or twenty Of the persons con-
cerned in the mob last evening have been
this morning committed for trial I; and the
Mayor in still engaged in the examination
sof others.
