MANurAcTuRE or MosAIc.-Leaving St. Pc
ter's, we went to see the manufacture of Mosa-
ic. 1t differs from the petra in this, that
while stones are employed in the Florentne
Mosaic, the material used in the Roman is a
composition Of lead, tin, glass, smslted and
mixed with colors of this there are said TO be
eighteen thousand shades. We walked through
a long room lined with cases, in which this is
arranged, TO the workshops. Here we watch
ed the progress of the mosaic manufacture for
some time In an iron frame is placed stone
the size of the intended picture and on il is
spread, inch by inch, kind of mastic, which,
when dry. becomes as hard flint. While
yet soft, the workman inserts in it the small
pieces Of which the mosaic is formed, cut and
ground with the utmost nicely to the shape re-
CURED. The time necessary for the compile
ton of these pictures, Is of course great. and
the expense proportionate, some costing nearly
f5OO0.
When the copyist has faithfully executed his
task there is still much to be done; the mosa-
ic is laid on the table, and the inierstices are
filled with peculiar sort Of wax, prepared Tor
the purpose {; the surface is then ground per-
fecily smooth, and the whole polished. The
subjects generally chosen are the finest pic
lures of the old masters and it is wonderful
to see the beautiful copies produced by such
mechanical means.-Mtss Iayior's Italy.

The Heads Of the different departments are

A STEPHEN BuRRouoHs TRIcK.--On the
morning of the 10Th inst, the County Jail in
this town presented a practical illustration Of
the amazing adroitness Of protested rogues in
circumventing the ends of the law, as well as
affording an instance of what patient and per-
severing labor, when steadily directed to par
'cular object, may accomplish.
Two prisoners, Edward Conwn and Archi-
bald Bentlv made their escape from the upper
dungeon in the following manner. portion
was SO removed as to be easily and quickly
replaced, which, by burning away part Of the
sleeper, gave them egress from the dungeon
into space between il and the arch Of the
lower dungeon. This space is about three
feet in depth and extends the whole length and
width Of the dungeon, forming most conve-
nent cellar to the occupants Of this somewhat
contracted residence, as the sequel will show.
After gaining the cellar, only one primary diff
fculty more remained to DO overcome, and
that was a slight obstruction in shape Of a solid
four foot, well-cemented stone WALL! With
no other instruments than fiat piece of iron,
obtained from their inelegant bed-stead and
few new fashioned chisels, made by coaling
down the ends Of some pieces of fire-wood to a
proper thickness, they dug and pryed their
toi!some way through the wall. Most for
tunately for them, their place af exit happened
to he a few feet above the roof of woodhouse,
which circumstance greatly favored their de-
cen, to the ground.
The cell was severaltimes carefully search
ed, but no innovation upon the staid uniformity
Of its internal affairs were discovered, and no
other sngular,y was noticed except that they
seemed to possess wonderful faculty for
dirtying their shirts without any visible cause
They were both apprehended and returned to
the Jail safe and sound on the following even
ing, having proceeded no farther than Castle
ton. They appeared rather unwilling to accept
Of Mr.. Sheriff Parsons hospitable invitation to
the lower dungeon, and we are informed they
politely gave him notice that it would not be
convenient for them to protract their stay be
yond few days.

Melancholy Suicide. MIR. William II. JET
ford, of New York, promising and highly
respectable young merchant, Of the firm OF
Burns, Hays a. CO., committed suicide, IN that
city, on Sunday morning last. by cutting his
throat with n razor. The Enquirer says, he
had been for several days confined to his room
by illness, and was occasionally delirious. -
About three o'clock on Sunday morning he
rose from his bed, and unobserved by the
nurse, who was at the time in the room, took
from drawer a razor, with which he inflict-
ed cash across his throat; The nurse seiz-
ed his hand, took the razor from him, and
screamed for help. Mr.. J. promised her II she
would not make noise he would be quiet
The nurse then ran to the door and alarmed
the occupants of the house, and he, taking ad-
vantage of her momen,ary absence, seized an
other razor and completed the work Of death
by severing with one blow the main arteries
and windpipe. He fell on the floor and al
most Instantly expired.
