Attempted flight Of the Pane.

The following story is told iii the
Official Gazette Of Savoy:
According to a letter from Geno9,
Plus *. had actually attempted ID
make his escape from Porto d'AnziJ
and was only prevented from effect
ing his design by the'impossibility
Of getting out of the reach of Cap
tain O!Hvier's steamer, which accom-
panied him under the pretext of show
ing him respect. On the 18th, Gen.
Cote, the Marquis de Turgot, and
NJ. de Rayneyal had waitedupon tho
Pope at Castel Grandolfo, for the
purpose Of persuading the Holy l7a-
therto proceed to Psis iE order to
crown Prince Louis Napoleon. The
timid eounsellors of the Pope atonce
advised him to take flight, as be had
donein the winter of / I84S-9. With
his usual weakness, Plus TX. on .shc
following day, directed his steps 90
Porto d'Anzio, where a pontifcal
steamer was in readiness to convex
him to Naples.
Butlat Porto d'Anzio it appeared
that another steamer, which plies on
the Tiber for the service Of the French
division, and is commanded by Cap
tain Olivier, had accompanied the
pontifical one. How came this steam
er, which ought to have STAYED at
Fiumieino, its usual station, to be at
Porto d'Anzio? The Pope and his
suite embarked undqr pretence Of
taking pleasure trip, but the French
steamer insisted upon accompanying
the Holy Father as an escort Of hon

she might be oqtstripped, so as to

| A correspondent of one OF our
contemporaries recently visited the
state prison of New Jersey, situate
at Trenton, and has given very
interesting account of what he saw
during his peregrinations through
that abode of felony. He says
Ono prisoner is here now for The
fourth time. A great part of his
liie has been spent within these SOM
bre walls. When he first came,
he was quite small boy, and they
had TO put a sort of ''Pig yoke on
him, 10 keep him from &c ting
through the grating. lie is a IN
yeterate thief. As his last term
was about expiring hrs keeper said
10 bin. We'll, Mallon, YOU are
about TO go, andI hope we Shall
never see your facehere again
Now, don't you steal anything, Tor
as sure as yon steal you are found
out. 'No, / ain't,' quickly replied
the thief mot once in fifty times. =
He is incorriglblc. His old father,
and a brother are both ia the same
prison for The same offence. One
white headed notwithstanding old
prisoner has numbered his seventy
three years, more than forty of
which he has been IA preacher Of
the gospel. He is in for irorsc-sieaI-
ing, and is said TO haye stolen more
horses tban any other man in New
jersey His practice was not ex-
acIly to steal, bat to hire horses and
carriages, sell them, and appropri-
ate the money to his own use. He
has married no less than five wives,
anu has had son born unto him
by ore Of them dnring the incarce-
ration. -

The Small Bank Cure ncy DelusiOn.

/ What q n Imposition a small banl

worth while (]ays the Philadelphia
Ledger occasionally to draw The
public attention to the evils with
which other orhmunities are afflicted
by allowing a currency of bank bills
Hof d less denomination than five dol

her own intere{ts, has got rid of this
evil, with the exception of the, 'reliel
currency and that should be re-
moYed as speedily as possible.
Notwithstanding the experience Of
former years, there are some who de-
sire to visit the infliction of small
bank notes upon us again, and at ev-
bry session Of the Legislature there
hre applications to repeal the law
prohibiting their circulation. In
stead Of going back again, Pennsyl-
Fania should Cd forward, and still fur
ther restrict I'll E circulation Of paper
money. Other States are following
her example in regard to five dollar
bills. Maryland, only a few weeks
Ago, sent out @f. that State all the
foreign bank bills Of that denomina-
ton, and the effect has been, that
when these bills were driven home.
some Of the banks in. the District Of
Columbia which issued them were
found unable tt pay, and had to shut
