Terrible Scene in French Penitentiary.

An account of the revolt in the French
Juvenile Penitentiary of st. Anne has al
ready been given, but all the horrors of
the scene were not told. The prison
contained, on the 28th of September last
2SS prisoners, who plotted revolt, and
accomplished it on the I'd of October
They drove out the turkeys, released
those who were in durance for bad beha.
vior, pillaged and drank in the usual sat
urnaiia. Then they wanted something
else to do, and the ringleader, Condurier,
proposed that they should shut up in the
storehouse those who would be likely to
betray them, and then set the building
on fire; and further, to make things Sc
cure, that one of the worst of the revolt
ers, who happened to be drunk, should
stand guard opposite to the door of the
storehouse while it was burning, with
knife in hand, to stab any who attempted
to escape.
This was Immediately agreed to; and
the victims, fourteen in number, having
been induced to enter, pile of papers
was heaped up, saturated with petroleum,
and set on fire. The room was soon in
blaze, but all the doors and windows being
strongly barred, there was no possibility
Of egress except by one door at which tho
boy Allard stood with his knife. One
poor little fellow, named Garibaldi, made
desperate attempt to pass tho flaming por-
tai but was stabbed three times, and hurl-
ed back bleeding into the fire. A watch
man, who heard the screams of the VIC
Tins and ran to their assistance, was set
upon by the young demons who presided
at the auto-da.fe, and flung into a trench.
Of course the building was burned to tho
ground, and when assistance came, two
days afterwards, the bodies of the twelve
or fourteen victims had been reduced to
ashes. For this horrible crime four of
the accused have been condemned to the
galleys for life.

PAINTINGs.-Mr. Neilander, under
the Mcclure house, has had on exhibit
ton, a day or two, some very beautiful
paintings executed by Mr.. Emie Bot,
of Beaver, Pa, Ia brother-in-law of Mr..
E. Booking, of this city, They are
pleasing studies drawn from nature,
one of them representing landscape
near Beaver: and for felicity of concep-
ton and beauty Of execution, can hard
Iy be surpassed. We have never had
the good fortune to see anything in this
city that so admirably counterfeited ma
ture us some OF these pieces do. The
coIors are not glaring and unnatural,
as they are in so many dAubs called oil
paintings; the verdure seems to live
and move with the passing breeze; the
perspectivei is SO faultless that it Is like
looking, not at II canvass, but at some
distant view framed by window the
water has crystal look and glassiness
rarely seen in pictures, and the haze
between us and the distant hills Is pal
pably In the air through which we look.
We cannot say this much for all the
pieces, but one or Two of them appear
10 merit better praise than we can
write. We trust Mr.. Bolts genius will
receive, as it deserves, a generous ap-
probation among our cultivated people.
