Stampede Of Prisoners.-0n Wednesday last,
about IL o'clock, Mr. Thomas Giiiin, clerk in
the employ of the Sheriff, opened the door lead
ing into the Jail yard; as soon as he entered,
he was seized by several of the prisoners at
large and thrust aside, while about nine of the
prisoners rushed by him, eight of whom made
their escape. Among those who got away was
a man by the name of Hayes, convicted of pass
ing counterfeit money, and Alexander Robin
son Two witnesses in a capital case, who
had been confined for the want Of bail, made
their escape also. The others were principally
Migrants, from this city, who had committed
little or no offence.
This is one of the accidents that the Sheriff
seized any man under the circumstances as
we'll AZ Mr. Gifin and made their escape. It
was a desperate game for liberty, played by
desperate men, and would have succeeded in
nine cases out of ten with any turnkey There
should be guard continually on duty in some
prominent place in the Jail where he could OBJ
serve everything that is going on. In this in
stance, Sheriff Cannon was away from home,
on official business, and everybody knows
what kind Of place New Castle is to prevent
the escape or recapture prisoners. We are
glad to hear that no important prisoner made
his escape,
The 81. 1adre,c's NeW Mission Schooi.-TheSt.
Andrews New Mission School, corner of Third
and Washington streets, will be opened for re-
ligious exercises on Sunday next, at o'clock
in the morning, and half-past in the after
noon. The scholars are particularly requested
to be present The house is very neat edifce
recently erected under the, auspices of the
members of St. Andrews Protestant Episcopal
Church, of this city, to supply the place of the
building formerly occupied by them, in Front
street. Those connected with this laudable en-
terprisc deserve great credit for their praise
worthy efforts to impart both mental and reli-
gious instruction to the young residing in that
locality, and we anticipate that furnishing
school will soon be the result of their labors.
Loss of The Schooner Ellen Bush-The schoon-
Ellen Bush belonging to this city, has been sunk
ut sea- whilst en- route for Galveston. Her crew,
we believe, were all saved. She was an A
vessel of 2s6 tons, years old and was built
and owned in this city Her cargo consisted
of l5O tons coal, 200 wheels, 100 axles, LOG
sheets iron, boxes do, dozen chairs, 295
ploughs, 80 furnaces, SO pkgs mdse., large
number of pieces of holloware, and 60 hhds of
lime on deck.
