ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.-Bctween ii and
Il o'clock on Monday night, the attention of
Mr. George Richards, keeper of the Jail in
this place, was attracted by an unusual noise
IN that part of the prison in which John Cath
cart, under sentence OF death for the murder
of his wife, and John Stodard, for breach of
the peace, were confined, and upon entering
found that they had forced open the iron door
of their cell with couple of iron bars which
they had pried off the wall. and then, heating
the bars in the stove fire, had nearly burned
through two of the heavy oak planks with
which the rooms are lined. After putting out
the fire, the jailor handcuffed them and kept
strict watch till morning, when the room was
repaired, and means adopted to prevent the
escape of the prisoners. The Jail is a misera-
Ule concern, and it is only surprising that the
Jaiior can manage to keep prisoners in it at
all, without the assistance of watchmen.

LEGISLATIVE NEws.-As the time is rapidly
approaching when our State Legislature meets.
and as this session will be an important one,
those who wish to keep themselves posted in
regard to the doings of that body should pro-
cure a paper from the State capital, as it is
entirely out Of the question for country papers
10 give more of the proceedings than such
parts as have local interest, and mere ref
erencc TO matters of a general nature. There
is no paper that gives as full and correct re-
ports as the Harrisburg Telegraph, which is,
aside from this, a spirited and ably conducted
sheet, giving early and accurate foreign and
domestic news, and political intelligence. 1t
is published daily at 81 per annum, and is sent
twice week during the session of the Legis-
laturc and once a week the balance of the
year, at the following rates Single copy 81;
seven copies Sl2; or ten copies for $I5.

The nieh Price Of Meat in London.

The London EconontSt, OF tne 5Oth ult.,
observes
The. extraordinary high rates al which
meat has recently been sold are creating not
only privation at present, but serious ap-
prehensions for the future. In various Of the
manufacturing and populous districts Of the
country meetings have been held by the
working men for the purpose Of protesting
against the high price of meat, and in some
instances they have passed resolutions to
abstain from purchasing meat at all, so long
as the prices are so high as at present In a
meeting of this sort at Paddington, il was
resolved that the high price of meat does not
arise from scarcity, but from the monopoly
of rich provision dealers, and that govern
ment commission ought to be appointed to
inquire into the matter OF course, these
things are only the ebullitions Of discomfort
with the actual state of the market, for there
is not shadow of pretence of the existence
of any monopoly on the part of any class of
traders in provisions. The worlds market
is completely open to our traders, and there
can be no doubt that, under the influence of
present prices, no effort will be left untried
to increase our supplies of meat.
But meat is an article incapable of any sud-
den increase IL is not easily brought from
distance, and can not be stored up in periods
of abundance to meet the demands of time
Of scarcity. In all these respects it differs
| from corn. The experience of the last few
| years proves that, in the main, we must rely
on our own soil for our supplies of meat.
| Since foreign live stock has been admitted to
our markets there has been some increase of
weight and, perhaps, improvement in the
| quality of the animals imported. The num-
Der of animals imported is also considerable,
but as compared with our total consump-
tion, the amount of meat from this source is
unirhportant Thus there were 1890 live
animals of foreign stock imported into Lon
don during the month of May last, of which
$1,000 were sheep, l,633 were beasts, 1,25s
calves, l99- lambs and S02 pigs. But then
l3, 300 fthe sheep consisted Of Merinoes, bred
| in Germany, which came in such poor condi-
| ton that the addition they made to our food
supply was very slight. To a certain extent
| the same observation applies to the imported
beasts, especially those from Spain and Por-
| tugal. But when we compare the numbers
| with our own produce, if the foreign animals
bad been, head for head, as good as our own
the aid afforded by importation would bC
practically unimportant for the total numbei
of beasts shown in the metropolitan narke
during May, including the foreign, wa
lO,040; sheep and lambs, l24,5SG calves
4 2059, and pigs 1850. But even this show
only portion Of the meat supplied to tn
metropolis, for the quantities Of dead mea
sent for sale in Newgate and Leadenhal
markets from Scotland, Yorkshire and tn
west of England are very considerable.

The CrueIties and Outrages Practiced at
the Siege of Palermo.

A European correspondent of the New Or
leans Picayune, in recent communication,
says 20 d -.es
1t is said that though Garibaldi attacked
Palermo with but 900 men, no great resist
ance was made by the Neapolitans, who took
refuge in the citadels or upon the vessels then
in port. The Consuls withdrew to their mem
of-war, and quickly the city was deluged in
inhammable rain. Bomb after bomb exploded,
carrying death with them; and for two days
this unjustihable massacre was continued.
Horrible to relate, those mercenary wretches
who abandoned their banners without fight
ing, as soon as they found themselves in Sc
curity, sent up shrieks of Joy when ever new
point of Palermo was discovered to be in
hames During the siege of Rome i'll '4S, the
French likewise made use of bombs but, with
greater humanity, fired them in unfrequented
parts Of the city, and at night only, when
their coming might be seen and danger to life
avoided. H'u -.-H i' '.s@
1t was left for Neapolitan Bourbons to EN-
ploy these terrible missiles during the day,
when, impossible to be discovered in the sum
light, they spread destruction everywhere
The cry of ViUa IL re mingled with the groans
of women and children buried under the
ruins of burning houses, and was shouted by
men who, secure from every peril, committed
most fearful deeds. They say that 10000
persons came to an untimely end during this
crisis, and many Of whose carbonized bodies
are now being hawked about the streets OF
Palermo. In retiring to the citadel, the
Neapolitans massacred every one whom they
encountered. Among their victims was the
wife of one of the Sicilian revolutionary
chiefs. Not daring to betray her husband
she was beated down and put to the torture
Burning pitch was smeared over her bosom
and she died in the most horrible agony. Pol

The Thunderer ON Enelisi, Rihe-ShootinGi
Comparison Of Britain with America.

The Thunderer ON RneIisi, Riae-shootinst
Comparison Of Britain with America.
The London Times of the Sd concludes an
editorial on the rife match at Wimbledon as
follows
AS her Majesty was yesterday reminded,
the English.people have always excelled as
marksmen. Their ancestofgwere famous and
formidable with the longbow. Their de-
scendants in the United States are not less so
with the rife. To this day, next to being a
good horseman, "cross country" there is
nothing an English gentleman is so proud Of
as being good shot. This Apability of our
race is so thoroughly recognized as to be even
encountered by systematic opposition. Law
and custom conspire to keep arms out of the
hands of the ordinary Englishman, for the
very reason that he is known to be fond of
the gun and apt at its use. Our squires know
full well that our village laborers could use
the rifle quite as well as Washington's troops,
and that our shOpkeepers wsuld fight as well
behind breastworks as the heroes of Bunkers
Hill. OF course the courage displayed in the
open field is more theme for admiration,
and nothing was ever more glorious than the
cavalry charge at Balaklava.
But the present is a question of defense,
and what we have to learn is whether ordi-
nary Englishmen, generally engaged in other
pursuits, can be taught to defend their cities
from invasion. IL is point on which we
have no doubt AT least one Englishman out
Of two, has Che eye and the arm the nerve, the
steadiness and the courage to exchange shots
with an invader, and give as well as take
| Whatever jealousy there may have existed
in times gone by, there can now be no reason
| against teaching every man of good cbarac-
ter how to defend his country. Her Majesty,
yesterday, inaugurated the rifle as our ma
| tional weapon. l rt.
| Acts of Parliament formerly enjoined the
use and practice of the bow, andthe planting
and preservation of the yew for this purpose.
Queen Victoria wishes to reign over ifnation
of ridemen. Why are we free people, and
why do we govern ourselves if we may not
be trusted2 Despotic governments may be
afraid to see their people armed, but ours ne ed
have no such fear. Our freedom is our best
resource, our great army of reserve, our ar
senal of weapons. Our mechanical skill is
wasted upon us If we do not learn the use of
the weapon we can make so well. Her Ma
esty's own shot, yesterday, proved the per-
fiction TO which we have brought the national
arm. At the distance Of four hundred yards
the bullet deviated only an inch and three
quarters in elevation, and four-ffths Of al
inch from the direct line. We have tn,
weapon and the materials all that is wanted
is the SKILL and this week will show our pro
gress in that respect
