At the time he attempted to make his escape he was in the yard adjoining his cell , which was allowed him for exercise , where he was without any officer to watch hi 3 movements , as there was no expectation of his making the attempt be
did . From this spot he got on ashed and descended through a skylight into the mat-room . There he provided himself with a ladder , with the assistance of which he was enabled to set on a wall , by the side of which he went and reached the fly-wheel , by means of which the tread-mill is put in motion .

$ 3 ) e H Jrofcttttts . MuRDEit at Liverpool . —Oa Saturday last an inquest was held on the body of Thomas Conway , who had been stabbed in the bowels by a man named John Dowd , on the previous Sunday morning , from the effects of which the un > fortuuate man died . It appeared that the deceased and Dowd had been engaged in a quarrel , in which several others took part . At length a fight ensued , in the midst oJ which Dowd was seen to draw a clasp-knife from hi 3 pocket , open it , and then put it back iuto the same pocket . One of the spectators warned tbe deceased that his antagonist
had an open knife ready , and Conway then said he would fight no longer , and walked aw .-. y . Dowd , however , followed him , dre 7 ? the knife from his pocket , and stabbed the deceased in the manner above described . The prisoner was almost immediately apprehended , aud the knife , covered with blood , found upon him . The deceased was taken to the hospital , but mortification ensued , which resulted in death . A number of witnesses were examined , and after some deliberation the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder ' against John Do « d , who was committed on the coroner ' s warrant to take his trial at the next assizes .
The Puisoseb . —W . Rollinson , who was left for execution at Bury St . Edmunds has had an application made on his itehalf at the last moment . His life will be spared , in consideration of his extreme old age—eighty-three yearsand the remainder of his wretched existence will be spent in close confinement . It will be remembered that Welsh and Young , comptroller and Chief clerk in tho Customs , at Stockton-upon-Tees , were tried at the last Durham Assizes , and each sentenced to be transported for ten years . In respect to Young , the Secretary of State , in compliance with a memorial setting forth certain facts not discovered on the trial , has granted a free pardon under certain conditions . — Newcastle Journal .
Execution op Sarah Ann French . —Sarah Ann French was executed on Saturday last at Lewes for the murder of her husband by poison . At twelve o ' clock the whole space in front of the goal was crowded by thousands of persons . Shortly afterwards the governor or the gaol , the undersheriff , and other officiate , made their appearance , and immediately afterwards came the culprit , in a complete state of bodily prostration , carried up to the scaffold by four attendants . Placed in this condition immediately under the beam , Calcrat ' t , the Kewgate executioner , adjusted the rope , and descending , withdrew the bolt , and the unhappy woman in a few moments ceased to exist . Scarcely three years ago the criminal was a spectator of the execution of Mary Ann Geering , who became -with her afterwards a frequent source of conversation .
Horrible Suicide on the Sotm-WKsiERs Railway . — A frightful occurrence took place upon the London and South-Western Railway , near the Farnborougb . Station , Oil Good Friday . The deceased was a man named Armswo ' rth who some years since was in tolerably easy circumstances ! but in consequence of reverses in busine 3 , bad become somewhat reduced . The latter event appeared to have so preyed on his mind as to impair his intellect . Hi 3 friends had him placed under proper surveillance in the union . On Good Friday eve , he was ordered to take a little walking exercise , in order to improve his health . An attendant was sent out with him to take care oi him , and to show him round tho neighbouring fields . Having walked about for some time , the poor fellow apparently enjoying his walk , they came near the railway of this town just as the down train
express- came in sight . The unfortunate man , on hearing the noise of the train , darted from his attendant , and ran upon the line before the engine had come up . Johnson , the guard , on seeing a man on the line , applied the break most vigorously in order to stop tho train , and the enginedriver shut off the steam and sounded the whistle , but without effect , and , before tho motion of the engine and carriages could be arrested , they came almost at full speed upon the man , who held his head down so low as almost to touch the buffers of the locomotive . He was instantly hurled across the metals , when the wheels of the engine and all the carriages passed over him , forcing his Done through the shoulders , and it is almost needless to say killing him on the spot . A verdict was returned that deceased destroyed himself , he being at the time of unsound mind .
Steam CoLLiEits-Several influential men interested in the coal trade have formed a large company in London to build iron screw colliers , to enable them to compete with the railways . These vessels are to run between Newcastle and London , and it is expected will supersede the present sailing colliers . Messrs Grantham and Bury arc appointed engineers to the company , and have already desig ned two similar vessels , now building at Messrs . Yernon ' s of Liverpool , for a private party at Hartlepool . Dreadful Murder and Suicn > E .-The picture ? que village of Castle Rising , near Lynn , was on Saturday last the scene of a horrible outrage . The perpetrator of ihe deed is a man named Daws , a gardener , in the employ of J T Ayre , Esq ., and the victims are his wife and child . It apl pears that the man had been noticed to be in a low state for some few days , hut had been in constant attendance at hwemployment , and on Saturday last watered the garden towards evening , with the child , a little boy a < red seven years . On Sunday morning a man eoine acrossuha fi « iHo
observed a body lying in a river . The man instantly obtamed the assistance of others , andthehody was identified as that ot Daws . Some of the party then proceeded to tho house of the deceased ; the doors were found to be fast and after vainly endeavouring to arouse the inmates thev burst open the door . Here a dreadful scene presented itself . Upon entering the room , the woman was found lying in a pool of blood , with her throat frightfully cut . She was quite dead . Near to her was the child , with its head nearly severed from the body . The room bore evidence of a severe struggle having taken place , and , from circura . stances , it is supposed the woman was first attacked by her husband m bed , and her struggles and cries awoke the child , who clung to his mother , the night-clothes of both being nearly torn to shreds . Daws was found with nothing on but his shirt and not far from him was the knife 5 which the fatal deed was done . There was a slight wound in his throat , which he inflicted , no doubt , whilst alamli ™
near tne river , ana then flung himself in . No cause can be assigned for his committing so rash an act except insanity On Monday an inquest was held on the body oi Daws and of his wife and child , which terminated by the jury returning a verdict of » Temporary Insanity .

case and other articles there , whilst he and Mrs , Fearnley went to spend an hour or two at the vicarage , On return * ing to the station shortly before nine o ' clock , tfiey found that the dressing-case was missing . It turned out that another porter had removed it from where Mr . Fearnley had left it to the booking-office , where luggage was generally deposited , and whence , no doubt , it had boen stolen . Mr . Blanshard , barrister , contended , on behalf of the defendants , that in conveying the plaintiff from Wakefield to Bawtry by two separate trains , they had entered into two special contracts with him , both of which they had
fulfilled . They had conveyed him and bis luggage from Wakefield to Doncaster m safety , and afterwards from Doncaster to Bawtry in safety ; and the company weve not liable for She loss that had occurred in the interval between the journeys . The porter was a bailee without hire , and , though bound to take such care of the property left by tho plaintiff in his possession as he would of his own , yet ho was not responsible for its loss , except gross aud culpable negli gence could be proved against him . His Honour the Judge ( Mr . W . Walker ) decided in favour of the defendants .
Alarming Accident on tub Manchester , Sheffield , and Lincolnshire Railway . —On Saturday night last a serious accident occurred to the five o ' clock tram . Anew engine , the Apollo , was drawin g this train and had brought it in safety the three and a half miles to Barton ; but on arriving there , from some cause at present unknown , tbe driver and guard were unable to make their brakes act efficiently , and the engines went at the rate of twelve or fourteen miles an hour through a thick wall at the end of the line into the station-house , the internal fittings being smashed . Mr . Taylor , the station master , was writing at his desk at the time , and had a very narrow escape . Hearing tbe loud shouts of the people outside , ho ran out , nud had not been gone a second when the buffers of the engine smashed thecounter he was sitting at into splinters . The
engine-driver , David Yince , and the stoker , saved themselves by leaping on to the platform , when they found that the train could not be stopped . Several of the passengers were injured . Mrs . Morlcy , of Hull , was most severely cut and bruised about the legs , aud several others aru cow under medical treatment for the injuries received . Tbe train consisted of five carriages aiid a luggage van ; and it is somewhat singular that the persons who were riding in the carriage immediately behind the engine , which was , so to speak , "doubled up" by the concussion , escaped without the slightest injury , while those who were hurt were travelling in the last carriage of tho train . Melancholy . Death . —On Saturday afternoon two pvivates of the 4 th Light Dragoons , stationed in < hat
neighbourhood , were drowned in the river Thames , fflsleworih church . It appeared that five of the men in the same regiment , about twelve o ' clock , hired a boat for the purpose of rowing up and down the river . After a short time one of them began to rock the boat ,. which unfortunately dinped too deeply in the water , the effect of which was that it was cap . siz : d , and they were all precipitated into the water . Siver boats put off promptly to their assistance , anil on being g i out they were conveyed to the London Apprentice , adjoining the church , where restoratives were immediately applied by several medical gentlemen . Two of them , however , were found to be past recovery , after lengthened efforts to restore animation . Mr . Wakley held an inquest on the bodies , on Tuesday , at the London Apprentice , and the jury returned a verdict of ' Accidental Death . "
SopKRSimoN at Livbrpool . —The other day a tradesman , who bad dealt somewhat largely with gentlemen oil the Lorn Exchange , failed in business . Some of the knowing ones in grain suspected that their customer must have a considerable amount of cash secreted somswhure , aud , hearing of the strange disclosures reported to have been made by a professional clairvoyante , they proceeded to question her as to tliesuspected . tradesman . The lady , in her mesmeric sleep , soon discovered the person after whom she was sent . She told the gentlemen who waited upon her that if they went direct to the tradesman they would find in his waistcoat pocket a key , and that key would open the place in which all the golden treasures of the alleged bankrupt were secreted
. Delighted with their success so far , the gentlemen started off in a vehicle to the house of the man , aud found him in the act of dressing himself . They told him he had a key iu his waistcoat pocket . He replied that he had , and , on their expressing a wish to see it , he immediately produced it . Without hesitation he took them to tbe door which it opened , but instead of finding heaps of gold they found some old papers and heaps of rubbish . The gentlemen were somewhat mortified at the result of their labours ; and the news of the " search and discovery" having oozed out , the circumstance is now a standing joke amongst them , and they are heartily laughed at by their friends on the Corn Exchange . —Livirpool Mereiay .
The Severn Bore . —This singular phenomenon attracted a host of spectators at the various times of flood tiile in the earlier part of last week . On Tuesday morning , the time of the highest tide for the year , great numbers of spectators assembled on the river bank at . the back of the warehouses , near the Westgato and Over bridges , at tho Lower Parting , and at other places frequented by the public on such occasions . The " head , " however , was not so high as we have seen it , owing to tho state of the wind for the last few days . —Glocester Chronicle . Destructive Fire . —On the evening of Easter Sunday , an extensive fire broke out on the farm occupied by Mr . J . Cove , situate on the Great Lee , in the parish of Shinfield , three miles distant from Reading . The fire , when first discovered , had gained considerable ascendancy , and owin *
to a strong breeze at the time the flames spread with bucIi rapidity that in a short space of time the entire range of homestead buildings appeared in a blaze . The confl ignition was not got under until the whole of the firm buildings , comprising extensive bani , granaries , stables , cow-houses , piggeries , &c , wero destroyed , the entire homestead presenting a complete wreck . A large wheat rick , twenty quarters of thrashed wheat , a thrashing machine , and other implements , and some cattle and poultry , were also consumed ; the farmhouse was only saved by the wind blowing in a contrary direction . The farm , which ia fully insured , belongs to Mr . Cove , the occupier . There is no doubt the present fire originated in the wilful act of some incendiary , as its first outbreak was not confined to one particular spot oa tlve favm
premises . Completion of the Electric Telegraph to the Bristol Channel . —The Electric Telegraph Company have just completed through their range of wire , 118 miles , from LondonJtO Bristol . In addition to the advantages available thereby as regards the immediate transmission of shipping intelligence fromthe Bristol Channel , tlie completion of the communication places the commercial community of Bristol , and the adjacent west of England districts , in direct telegraphic communication no ! only with London , but' by means of the cross-country stretch of telegraph , already in existence between Bristol , and Gloucester , and Birmingham , and Derby , connects the west of England with those towns , as well as with Liverpool , Manchester , the north of Scotland , and the whole of England . Several hundred men are now employed upon the link remaining to be completed between Bristol and Exeter , of about seventy-three miles , and which it is expected will be finished by June , and so complete , with the exception of minor communities , the telegraphic network of the country .
Mariners' Strike at Hull .-Upwards of a hundred vessels , cutter-rigged craft , are now lying in the Hull docks ; tho fishmongers' shops are almost destitute of stick , and the middle men , whose business is done unoa the southend pier there , in transmitting packages of fish across the country to the inland towns , are doing next to nothing . The fishermen have struck on account of certain perquisites and usages , which have hitherto been reccemsed as part of the agreement between . the owners and the crews . From inquiries among people best acquainted with the matter , we understand , however , that the dispute may be resolved into this :-The custom is this , in a fishing venturethe of the vessel takes
, owner a third of the proceeds , the shipper a third , and the crew a third , tho last being allowed the garbage and inferior fish as perquisites And it is on some attempted regulation on the part of the owners to correct alleged irregularities in the appropriation of these" vails" that the strike has taken placS . One point , though it is not speciEed by either party , is an important feature in the dispute .

EwtaM The Exodus -The fligh ' t of the population from the eou'h is thus described by the "Clonrael Chronicle" :-« ' The tide of emigration has set in this year more strongly than ever it has within our memories . During the winter months we used to observe solitary groups wending their way towards the sea coa ^ t , but since the season opened ( and a most beautiful one it is ) these groups have been literally swelled into shoals , and , travel what road you may . you will find upon it strings ( if cars and d'aya , laden with women and childi * n mid household siuffs , journeying onward , their final di-stina'ion being America . In all other parts of the country it is the same . At every station . along tbe rail , Irom G ' . ioM ' s Cross to Sallins , the third-c ' ass carriages receive their quotas of emigrants . The Grand Canal passageboats , from Shannon harbour to Sallins , appear every morning at their accustomed hour , laden down with emigrants and their luggage , on their way to Dublin , and thence to Liverpool , whence they take shipping for America . "
PitiESTLV Drnunciations .-A correspondent of the " Miirning Herald , " writing from ihe county (> f Leitrim , states that , a short time since , Lord Clements was denounced from the altar of a chapel near Mohill , the immediate consequences of which were two threatening notices served upon his lordship , that he would be punished for his " offences . " Lord Clements has now to carry loaded pistols , and be guarded by an armed servant when he leaves his house . Agricultural Prospects . —The accounts from all parts of the country continue to speak most favourably of the prospects of the season . The March agricultural report of the "Devry Journal" savs : — " Prices are more favourable , and fanners better satisfied , with their prospects , but their is still a disjwsitiou to avoid taking further qu unities of land , under exis ing circumstances : and we know many raiall
farms , from ten to forty acres , uncropped—by tenants , at least—wliei ' , until within the lust two years , the same land would not have wanted a tenant for one day . Emigration is still going on , apparently quite up to the extent it did last year , and , from every appearance , it will continue so until it becomes an evil . Employment is now ready , and the condition of the labouring classes very much superior to what it was before they lost their favourite crop , the potato , in 1846 . " The reports from the county of Fermanagh are of a like tendency . A local paper says that no such preparations tor potato-planting were made since the blight first appeared , and very sanguine hopes are entertained of an abundant crop this year , as the seeds are of a new description . The prospect , it is stated , has induced many farmers who had made up their minds to try their fortune in America to remain at home for at least another year .
Lord Eolinoton os Irish Agriculture . —A deputation , headed by tbe Duke of Leinster , the Earl of Roden , Yiscount Monk , &o ., waited upon the Lord-Lieutenant for the purpose of presenting an address on the part of the Royal Agricultural Improvement Society of Ireland , congratulating his Excelleney upon his arrival in this country , and requesting permission to enrol his name as vice-patron . The address , which was of the ordinary official brevity , spoke of tlie great depression of the agricultural interest , and the severe sufferings to which the owners and occupiers of land have been subjected for the last few years , as causes which had naturally retarded the progress of tho society . Notwithstanding these drawbacks , it was stated that there had
been a manifest improvement in the cultivation of the soil , and a general diffusion of scientific and practical information amongst agriculturists in this portion of the United Kingdom . Although , perhaps , not meaning it , this would appear as if tho deputation wero anxious to elicit from his Excellency an opinion upon the great question of Free Trade versus Protection . Lord Ejjlinton , however , was very guarded iu his repl y to these allusions in tho address — " I sinoerely hope that the industry of your people , encouraged by the example and fortified by the instructions of societies such as this , may , ere long , overcome the severe depression under which the agricultural interests have of late years been labouring , and triumph over the difficulties which havo so long crippled their energies . "
State of Monaqiian . —The magistrates of this county have presented a memorial to the Lord Lieutenant , prayin . " that the extra police force recently placed in certain dis ° - turbed parishes should be removed . His Excellency has replied to the effect that he considers it necessary to continuo the extra police , chargeable on the same townlands us heretofore ; but that as soon as the inhabitants show a desire to aid the constituted authorities in keeping peace and good order and not harbouring the ill-disposed and disaffected , his Excellency will be prepared to reconsider the case of the nn-morialist . The Royal Dublin Society ' s Cattle Show . —This important annual exhibition commenced on Tuesday , under the most favourable auspices . The quantity and the quality of the assembled stock of all kinds exhibited were tully equal to the best exhibitions which have taken place in thi 3 city , and this is saying a great deal indeed , when the depressing circumstances of the pa-it few years are taken into consideration .
Prosecution of me '' Dundalk Democrat . "—It is stated that it is not tho intention of the Attorney General to prosecute Mr . Oartan , the proprietor of the " Dundalk Democrat , " tov ihe libel for which he was held to bail by the late Attorney General . The state of the part of the country in which the libel was published has been vastly improved , and there are extenuating circumstances in the case . A man named Patrick IIennes > y has been committed to stand his trial for the murder of a , neighbour named Atkinson , ne . ir Conaree mines , and not far distant from the beautiful " meetina of the waters" in the county of Wicklow . The parties had quarrelled about a wall which Atkinson had built around his little garden , and Hennessy ( who is a carpenter ) struck bim on the side of the head with the oak foot of a table which he was making . This knocked the unfortunate man down , and Hennesay struck him two other blows about tho loins , and killed him outright .

SSales . Mysterious Occuurbsce nemi TRBBEOAn .-Some excitement has been occasioned in the neighbourhood of Tredesar in conspquence of the . discovory , under circumstances of a mysterious nature , of the body of a man named James Divis . The deceased , who had saved up . it is thought a little mouoy , was about to go to Ausralia , and , it is understood , to have made arrangements for his early emigration to that colony . He went to make some purchases , and was never ngain seen alive , or indeed at all , until tbe middle of last week , when some men , who weve engaged in hauling a cart from one of the coal pits in the neighbourhood , discovered hi * body in a mangled condition . The first and natural impression would be that ho had wandered near to tho pit , and b y some accident had fallen down the shaft ; but the mysterious part of the affair remains to be told . When the workmen engaged at the nit went awav fVnm it
at night , they secured the mouth with folding doors , in such a way that it could bo only opened by force ; and upon the doors themselves are marksjof violence having been used to unclose them .

The prisoner was remanded .
Further Particulars . —Tbe unhappy man , TJiomaa Cathie Wheeler , is in his twenty-sixth year , and is tho Bicond of two sons , of the late James Wheeler , a mired Bow-streot officer . The latter , after his retirement became , a merchant tailor , and aftor being some jean ia business , he took up his residence in Hercules-buildings Lambeth , having amassed a competency , and at which place he died in 1849 . The deceased had been left a small income , which was augmented by regular contributions from her elder son , who married a lady of considerable property The acoused had been from his youth in a mercantile est ' a '
blishment in the City , and a few years since was sent to India as correspondent for the firm . While abroad the unfortunate man was attacked with brain fever , and sots after recovery was again prostrated under what is termed zcoupd ' soleil , and of which he had not got the better upon his return to England , for shortly after his arrival it to found necessary to place him under restraint . For sow four or five days before the Saturday , tho accused had bets seen to Bharpen the chopper and the knives in ordinary use but tbe deceased , so far from suspecting the motives of her son , actually mentioned the circumstance to a neighbour as a sigQ of the young man ' s inclining to industry hp
nwv&g tor months prior Bternly refused to do tljo ' uiosfc trifling thing about the place , always , however , insisting upon going out to make such little purchases as tho deceased required . —On Sunday morning , upon the visiting surgeon Beeing the aocused at Ilorsemonger-Jano Gaol , the latter observed , " You can't call me a butcher at a / I events , I did it very cleanly , and only the neck was too tough . ] would have done it much better , the chopper deceived me , but the knife was beatifully keen . " In making these remarks the accused seemed highly pleased with the dexterity of the dreadful execution he was alluding too , and the sangfroid of his utterance chilled the medicij gentleman , who , as he was about departing , was further addressed by the madman as follows : — " 1 hope you'll go and sea that the windows are not closed down . Ikft ttem up bo that tho body of my mother may have the benefit of the air . "
An inquest was held on Tuesday on the body of the unfortunate woman , when , after hearing the evidence adduced , the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Mulder against Thomas Cathie Wheeler . " The prisoner was brought up at tho Lambeth Police , court on Wednesday . The only witness examined was Mr . Oathie , brother to the deceased , and uncle to the prisoner , whose evidence tended to confirm tho belief in the insanity ot the unfortunate young man . Tho prisoner was fully committed to take his trial on the charge of Wilful Murder . °
