IRELAND.  EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE FROM AN IRISH  G.&OL  At &orals, on Wednesday morning, Andrew liable, a prisoner confined in the county gaol awaiting trial for desertion from the army, escaped under extraordinary circurnstancee. It appears that a warder went to Hehir's cell with his breakfast, and while there desired the prisoner to remove some utensils out &le, an opportunity of which tie took advantage by suddenly bounding down the stairs, and although the warder was close up, he succeeded in reaching the door below, through which ha passed, pulling it after him aid bolting it on the outside, thus locking in his keeper. The warder immediately blew his alarm whisVe, but it was unnoticed until Heide had made good his escape. To accomplish this he broke down a wooden door, and, having divested himself of his boots, scaled the boundary wall, about 30 feet high, and dropped a similar distance to the wound outside—a feature in which he was assist id through his previous knowledge of the locality, having in January last effected his escape under somewhat similar circuuistances, and cantinued at large until quite recently, when he surrendered himself. He has nit been captured. REMISSION Ok, SENTaNCES.—The five persons sentenced to twelve and eighteen months' imprisonment at Sig° or obstructing hunting at It thassane have been discharged. only a portion of the sentences having been completed. Colonel Nolan had forwarded memorial to the Lord Lieutenant representing tho district was in a peaceful state. S:veral prisoners charged with the murder of Linton, Doherty, and Connor in county Galway were on Friday transferred to Sligo, in order to stand their trial at the coming assize. 4.ri important arrest in connection with the 1ri.,11 dynamite plots was affected in Widuess on Wednesday,in the p rson of Rogerson, alias Smith, of Collar, B allyroden, county Galway. In March last year a dynamite explosion took place at the residence of Mr. John R Anna% at Ebascragh. county Galway, which was planned a, unskilfully as only to break the wincle-es and injure the furniture. Six p.rsons are awaiting th dr trial for this offence, and the capture of It ,gerson„ who took a prominent part in the plot, is considered of considerable importanc3. The prisoner ednits ha identity. What is believed to be an important capture was made at Handaworth, a village a few miles from Sheffi mid, on Thursday afternoon. An Irishman named Bernard Garrity came there about six weeks ago to work at some nurseries, having been a fugitive from Irelan I since March. On Thuraday afternoon the village was visited by Sergeant O'Brien. who is stationed near Roscommon, accompanied by a Dublin detective and one from Mans chester. On making their way to the nurseries Garrity saw O'Brien, and recognised him. He thereupon started off and ran at the top of his speed, followed by O'Brien and the other officers. The race was kept up forsome time,and ultimately Garrity was caught in a wool. The warrant charged him with blowing up some farm-buildings in the neighbourhood of Roscommon with dynamite, but it is believed that he is wanted for a much more serious charge. Upon this the officers were ret cant. Much excitement followed the intelligence of the arrest, for many Irishmen aro engaged at the nurseries. For fear of an attempt to rescue, Garrity was taken to Sheffield by a bye way, and not by road. He will be taken to Dublin.
