Something like an insurrectionary movement on
the part Of the prisoners confined in the Penentia-
icy took place yesterday morning, which arose in the
following manner:-The Board of Directors had
ordered the heads Of the prisoners to be shaved in
conformity with law, and in the attempt to carry the
order into execution, the convics manifested con
siderable disposition to resist it, They collected
in great numbers in The yard, and stated that they
would prefer unlimited solitude to compliance
with this ORDER 1t was now found that coercion
became necessary, and large body ofthe prisoners
who had assembled near the entrance into the
prison, were ordered into the cells they refused to
obey, and as their intentions could not be well con
iectured, order was given to the guard to fire,
which was promptly executed. No lille was los
or any injury received, but slight wound inflicted
by buck shot en- the cheek OF one OF the ctmi.

dropped into the apron, as have described them.
