ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.-Thomas Graham,
the desperate burglar who was sentenced on Sat
urday last to Imprisonment in the State Prison,
at hard labor for life, upon conviction Of burgla-
riously entering the house of Ethan Allen, Esq.,,
in this city, in September last, attempted to break
Jail on Friday night by saving off the iron graf
ings Of his cell.
1t seems that another prisoner named Michael
Burke, who has been in the County House for
two years past, under a sentence for butglaries
committed in this city, has been out of health Of
late, and has had the liberty of the walks around
the cells within the prison, about which he bad
some trfng labors to perform By solicitation
of Graham, he procured from the shoe shop two
shoe knives and file, by means of which Gra-
ham manufactured couple of saws, and with
them, during the night of Friday, they went to
work upon the bars of the prison-Graham upon
those of his cell, and Burke upon those of the
window in the outside wall Several of the pris-
oners were made aware of their intentions by the
noise, and one of them advised them to desist, or
he would raise the alarm, but they did not, and
in the morning the keeper of the prison was in
formed of what was going Upon examina-
ton it was found that Burke had sawed bar Of
iron, one and half inches in diameter, one third
of the way off, which formed part of the CRATE
in the outer wall, and Graham had made about
the same progress with one of the bars in the
grating of his cell. Both prisoners were imme-
diatey put in irons and confined in the strong
rooms of the prison. and it is hardly probable that
they will elude the rigorous penalties of the law

Five negroes fed from Hunters Bot
tom, Ky, on the night of Oct. "a, and al
though considerable lparty started on Sun
day IN pursuit, the negroes were not found.
The Louisville Democrat says that Madison,
KY, is infested by the most rabid abolition
lists, who whenever fugitive negroes get among
them, are ready to exercise all their ingenui-
ty to secrete them and protect them from pur-
suit. These abolitionists have rendered ne
gro property IN the vicinity very insecure.
Saturday, Oct. 81, was the one hun
dredth birth day Of Mrs Donaghy of Spring
Township, West Pennsylvania When the
battle of Bunker Hill was fought, she was a
resident Of that immediate vicinity, and dur
ing the battle was obliged to leave her home
for safety. She afterwards visited the ground
with others, and administered to the wounded
and dying. She is still active and smart.
A few days ago body was picked up
on the Atlantic beach, little to the North of
Cape Hatteras, having belt around it con-
tanning gold dust. No doubt it was the corpse
of one of the passengers of they'll fated Cen.
trail America. Other dead bodies have been
seen floating in the neighborhood.
A sum of money was placed in the
hands of the clerk OF one Of the New York
hotels, for safe keeping, by person stopping
at the hotel. The next day the clerk abseond--
ed with the money. The proprietors claimed
that they were not liable. The owner of the
money brought suit, and the Judge decided
that the proprietors were liable for the amount.

PHILADELPHIA Nov ga meeting of the
stockholders of the Pennsylvania Bank was held
this morning. Mr. W. G. Patterson. who has
been appointed to succeed Mr.. Allibone as Presi-
dent of the Bank, was called upon to make a
statement He said his statement would be
made, but would be fasifed in twenty four hours.
No statement should be made which he would be
willing TO put his signature to. The funds of the
bank had been used for purposes of which the d.
rectors only were aware The creditors of the
bank were better known by the public than by
officers of the bank Mr.. Patterson declines the
Presidency All the bank creditors have resign
ed except Allibone who has left the country.
Ii the Bank goes to assignment now, no man
will say its debts can be paid, bnt if carefully
nursed, the Bank may be resuscitated. Meagre
and unsatisfactory this statement is, it is the
only one that can be made. There are no dates
by which to go by. The bills receivable were
sold by the President. The funds were abstract
ed in different accounts, as the President chose.
1t would need officers to trace the operations Of
the President during four years. Large transac-
tons by him, unknown to the Directors, have
come to light. Resolutions were adopted, and
committee of five stockholders were appointed to
recommend proper Directors, also to report to
what extent the capital of the Bank is impaired
by the authorized or fraudulent transactions of
the late President, and the names Of his aiders
aud abettors in such fraudulent acts, declaring
the seat of Allbone vacant.
John N. Dalton of the firm of Austin, Allebone
& Co., made a defence Of the late President of
the bank and said that he would return to
America and answer the charges. He enquired
of Mr.. Patterson, if he could give us figures
when suit was brought against Allebone for
$4,000. The speech was Kissed and the speak
er proceeded with much difficulty. He further
stated that Allebone three weeks after accepting
the presidency said that if he had known what he
did then, .he would not have been tempted
to accept. Mr.. Patterson replied that all the Di-
rectors on oath, testified that Alebone had used
$4,000 improperly. The meeting proceeded to
considerer the relief act and accept it.
