spot that a prisoner, whose name is Run.
ner, was killed by shot.
The revolters gained access to the
outer gate leading into Sixlh-street and
they attempted TO cut through large
bolt, which locked outside.
AT this point detachment of yolun-
teers was prepared 10 fire on them, II they
had succeeded 10 forcing the gate. A
prisoner by the name Of Charles johnson,
was wounded in the bip by two or three
balls. One other was also wounded.
At twelve o'clock every thing was re-
stored TO quiet !; the prisoners have been
suffered to return to their work.-A part
of the military have been dismissed, e.
nongb remaining to form strong guard
The guard will be kept up uotil the
damage can be repaired; and the princi-
pal actors 10 the affair are secured by
strong bolts and chains.
From the Union of March 90.
1t has been thought prudent to station a
guard at the prison, until it is repaired !:
aud this duty is TO be performed in turo
by the volunteers, their service having
been promptly offered by Gen. CadwaIla-
der and accepted by the Mayor aud the
Sheriff.
We understand there was some distnr-
bance in the prison last evening al sun
down. About $50 of the prisoners re-
fused to 60 TO their rooms they bad col
lected heaps of stones, &c. for another
scrape but the volunteers marched 10,
aud We presume, obtained obedience.

PHILADELPHIA, March %.
STATE PRISON REVOLT.


Early this morning, an attempt was
made by number of the convicts 10 the
State Prison 10 this city, to effect their
escape. They succeeded in making their
way into the prison yard, which is sur
rounded by wall. Fired upon by the
citizens, several of them were wounded,
and one killed, and they were driven back
into the prison. They threw stones and
brickbats at those who we're firing on
them, and bruised, though but slightly,
two or three gentlemen. A detachment
OF marines was marched into the prison,
and the walls surrounded by armed
guards, for the purpose Of subduing the
revolters into obedience, and preventing
renewal oftheir attempts 10 escape.
we learn that the revolt among the
convicts was general; and every man con-
iined in the cells was released by the
r'ngleaders, to enable them 10 Join 10 the
lnsurrecticn. Almost every bar inside
me prison was wrenched from its proper
posi''on; all the locks Of the doors and
cells were broken; and one Of the doors,
at the southeast corner OF the yard. com
mun'cating with the department for untri-
edPrisoners, was forced openly a large
JACK used to raise stone, in order to let IN

Mail K0bbfTS.--I he mall robbers, ii ut
ton and Hull, have made fuH confession
of their guilt to judge Bland, of the district
court. This confession, We are informed
on the best authority, was made freely and
of their own accord, without being in the
least flattered with hope of pardon, or
:ha. they could receive any other punish
ment than that which outraged law jmpe-
riousiy called for. 1t will be satisfactory
for the public 10 know that no other per.
sons were concerned in the horrid deed
but themselves.
The only difference which exists in
their confessions is, that Hutton declares
they did not intend to kill the driver; the
other declares the contrary. Hull shot
him, and Hutton stabbed him to put him
out of misery when in great agony from
the first wound. They declare that the
driver made no resistance aud was muir
dered to prevent his being an evidence
against them. They also declare that all
the money has been recovered, not having
had an opportunity to make way with it.
We are sorry to be compelled to say,
that we have reason TO think, that the plan
for robbing the Mail, originated 10 this
city. We have just parted with Mr..
James Whelpley, at whose house Hutton
and Hull recently boarded for several
weeks. Mr.. WheIpIey resides at the
corner of Greenwich and Courtlandt-
streets.
These men left this city about three
weeks since, Hull stating that he was GO
ing to visit relation 10 Connecticut, aud
Hutton, that he was going to Albany.
DuriOg their residence at Mr.. Whelpiey's,
Hutton and Hull received daily visits from
Smith Davis, the fellow now ia confine-
ment for robbing the Eastern Mail. They
correspondent much by letter, and were
very inquisitive. Hull sometimes assum-
ed the following names:-Norton, Morris,
Bartholomew, Williams, Cook, Atwater,
Howard and Hale. On being asked the
reason, he stated that he had had several
wives, and assumed their names when it
pleased him. At the same boarding house
was a Mr.. Harrington, said TO be from
Utica or near that place. With this per-
son, Hutton and Hull were intimate, and
Mr.. Whelpley was informed that Herring
! ton had purchased pair of pistols for
Hutton and his companion. Before they
left this city, Hull was seen 10 have a
large Spanish knife, with blade from
eight 10 ten inches in length; this knife
was of a peculiar construction; when
opened, small spring would prevent the
blade from closing. A boarder remarked
to Hull, that such an instrument was only
suitable for robher, at which he smiled.
Hutton was commonly called Virginia, on
account of his being warm advocate for
slavery.
When Hutton left his boarding house,
ne was indebted Sic for board; but leav-
ing his trunk, Mr.. WheIpley was under no
apprehension for its payment. On open
ing his trunk, the contents we're found to
be only bundle Of old rags.
II may be proper TO mention, that Mr..
Whelpley called at the Post Office yester-
day, few minutes after the mail was sent
off, to give the above information-con-
sequently long before he heard Of the ar
rest OF those men at Baltimore.

Hydrophobia. An affecting case OF this
dreadful malady has occurred 10 this vi
ciuity. On the l7lh Of January last
Thomas Palmer, a young man in the EN-
ploy of Joseph Pierson, Esq. ia South
Orange, was bit by dog supposed 10 be
mad. As precautionary step he went
Immediately to New York, and procured
the scuH cap, which has been supposed to
be sovereign remedy for this dreadful
poison. We are informed he made free
use Of the herb, and accommodated his
diet to the directions prescribed in a pam
phlet which treats on the subject. No i'll
effects we're felt, or any complaints made
till Friday the 18th inst. when a slight
pain was experienced in the shoulder,
which gradually extended the two follow
ing days. On Monday afternoon the 2lst
the family 10 which he lived for the first
became seriously alarmed-and it was
soon ascertained to be distinct case OF
the hydrophobia. Two or three pbysi-
clans were called 10 but their skill was
unavailing-ihe disease progressed--and
he died on Thursday evening last greatly
distressed 10 mind as well as body. He
was aged about % years, and has mother
living ten miles above Albany.
The circumstances attending the wound
which has proved fatal to Palmer, aud
the providential escape Of others in the
same family, are truly remarkable. On
the evening of the 18th Of January the
dog attacked goose sitting beside the
house-,he door was opened, and while q
son Of Mr.. Pierson was standing in the
door the dog passed between his legs into
the house, and laid himself quietly down.
The dog appeared worried, and both Pal
mer and son OF MIR. Pierson examined
the collar round his neck to ascertain his
owner. All this without any repulsivs
disposition in the dog. AT this time there
were ten persons in the room-and 90 one
