Another Escape of Criminals from the
states Prison.

states Prison.
On Wednesday morning, the 9 th ut.,
twenty-three succeeded in escaping from the
States Prison at Corte MADEIRA. We gather
the following particulars from the E:eniqs
Journal:
About 6 o'clock, on that morning, as the
State prisoners quarrying stone at Mare Is
land, were proceeding 10 their work in
body, some sixty of them made rush for
schooner lying at :he whart--and succeed
ed in taking possession of her In the struy-
gle between the prisoners and the guards,
about tw enty one succeeded in getting
on board and getting her of. They pulled
her exactly behind another vessel sailing in
the lartor and by keeping her in that posi-
ton prevented the gunners rom firing upon
them. The people on the other vessel from
curiosity coming on deck in such a way that
the guard would be compelled 10 risk killing
them if they fired. After drifting and pull
ling about four hundred yards. the tide
placed them in range, when the first cannon
vas fired, missing the vessel some two feet;
at the second fire. being loaded With grape,
she was hit, several shot passing through the
ranks Of the prisoners did some execution
1t is said some were thrown overheard sup
posed to be killed. The third shot missed,
aud the guard placed the other prisoners in
their cells, and prepared to fellow the fugi-
tives in a whale boat kept for the purpose.
The prisoners in attempting TO escape,
seized or CGpt. Pullum first assistant cap
tain of the guard, and took HIM into the ves-
sci with them, in order to prevent the guard
from firing. This did not, however, have the
desired effect, for the gaurd, some of whom
are the best marksmen in the State, sci, cted
their men and made terrible havoc Capt.
rullum was shot through the hand and arm
before he conld ask the guard TO cease their
fire, when his request was complied WITH
Their pursuers succeeded in cutting them of
| from Point San Pablo just above Rcd Rock,
and forced them to land on the first point
above, on the Contra Costa side. The
guards landed some ten minutes after, when
a running fight ensued for some miles
Some OF the srisoners were killed and some
badly wounded, but no definite idea of the
number can be ascertaned. TIE guard
continued to follow them all night.
The police of San Francisco and of Oak
land rendered very effective assistance in the
pursuit and capture of the criminals, most
of whom have been captured or killed

On the other side the opponents Of CIV n

some other man than Gwin. How near cor

as il is not probable all the members will be

EXPORTS OF QuIcKsILvEER DURING THE
YEAR lS54.--A detailed exhibit, published
in the San Francisco erald, shows that
l.4l9, 600 pounds of Quicksilver, the product
Of the New Almaden mine, were exported
during the year 1854, which at the low price
Of 80 cents pound amounts in value to
S724 500 This does not include the large
amount Of this metal used in this State.
The total shipments Of Quicksilver during
the year 1853 were 1880 TASKS, or ,4l0,-
600 pounds. valued at S6e3 ls5. 1t will be
observed that the shipments are pretty near
ly the same from year 10 year, although the
New Almaden mine is capable Of yielding
unlimited supplies of the metal. Sufficient
only is produced to supply the demand, and
not enough to oversiock the market. The
mine is far more valuable than all the rest OF
the Quicksilver mines in the world put to-
pether.

Amount of Gold Dust shipped from San

1t will be observed that the shipments o:
Gold, taken by the steamers leaving on the
first of the month, are credited T. the prece
ding month, because always manifested at
the Custom House on the day before the
departure of the steamer. Hence it is, that
the shipment for December appears SO small;
for, according to the arrangement of the ia
ble. the treasure which will he takeu by the
steamer of January lst, 1855 would, ifknowp,
properly belong to the month of December,
1851. To obviate this difficulty, and show
the actual export during the year, restore the
