abrogation of its present relations with Ct.
Britain; and by the intimations that the
day of another Irish revolution is at hand,

Capt. Latham, of the SLAYER Cora, esca-
ped from the custody Of the Marshal yester-
day. 1t appears that the prisoner had been
in the Eldridge-street Jail, and needing
some new clothes, was taken to clothing
store to suit himself. While in the store
selecting the desired articles, the Marshal,
who had Latham in charge, had his atten-
ton drawn from the prisoner, and on look
ing around, discovered that Latham had
"stepped out" and been driven off in car
riase. No clue has been obtained as to his
whereabouts. Marshal Rynders, as usual,
swore vehemently, and offered reward Of
5000 for his arrest.
