Wednesday three of the prisoners at the depot at Perth, found their way, by means of false keys, to an empty cellar under the tower. They had with them suits of black, with crape., for their hats, in which they intended to have dressed themselves over their prison jackets, and to have walked out with the crowd, at the hour of market. They were discovered, however, by a ptrson who had gone into their place of concealment to examine the water pipes.— Had they escaped discovery, two more were to have Joined them.  Last week was committed to Exeter Gaol, under a warrant from the Coroner,J.Jackroa, a Mack, charged with the wilful murder of Powell. The patties belonged to the Salvador del Mundo, in Hamoaze, and were employed as Cook's Mates. It appeared on the Inquest that they had been overheard quarrel. ing, and that the black, after swearing, with a tremendous oath that he would knock the other into a large rub of boiling cocoa, which had just been drawn from the coppers, tor breakfast, actually carried his threats into complete execution, by a heavy blow on the mouth of the unfortunate Powell, which drove him into the tub. The upper part of the body of the latter was immersed in the boiling liquor; and, after languishing two days in horrible torments, during which time all the skin came off the parts immersed, he was relieved from his sufferings by death. For some time past, considerable quantities of whiskey have been smuggled into Glasgow by people who made a trade of carrying the spirits on their backs, in small kegs and jars. Friday morning last, between two and three o'clock, eight of these men were encountered on the Garccnbe road, about two miles from Glasgow, by a party of Excisemen, well armed, and the tesult was, that tour of the smugglers were carried to the Infirmary, severely wounded ; one of whom died soon after he was brought there ; and another, it is apprehended, cannot survive.
