THE NATIONAL ItEGIATER. i'ITLAIPTED ESCAPE OF C XPITAL CONVICTS FltOM NE% GATE. Yesterday afternoon three of &he men who received sen• tenec of death last Sessions, MAO an attempt to escape. Their mimes are George Handley, Thomas Hallard, anti Patrick By own, alias Ryan. The two former were convicted capitally of burglary at Rattle Bridge, under circumstances very ag gravated, as Ballard entered the house miller pretence of taking lodgings, accompanied by a female, whilst I fandley, in waitiog, succeeded in getting in, and intimidated the servant of the house. with a loaded pistol, and the robbea y was cent • mitred. Brown, alias fty an, Was capitally convicted of a daring highway robbery at Finehley. Sie.pirion arose from the conduct Of Brown's wife, who was detected with shoot 20 yards of rope concealed on her heck, and she was stopped by the woman in waiting. Sus picion having been escated, the turnkeys were on the alert, and at half-past 3 o'clock Mr. Da% is, the principal turnkey, receked inb,rmation that the plan of escape was ripe within, although Brown's wife was sent to the Compter. No notice was taken of the knowledge the turnkey possessed of what was ..:ning on, and they went to what is termed lockings-up, when they foam' the three convicts with their irons ready to lie taken off, and :mother rope prepared for scape. Experiments haul been tried with packthread, which deve loped tin inge 4444 ity for the premeditated escape. Thus dc • tected, the couvieni frankly acknowledged their intentions to Mr. Das is,and altho' their lions appeared perfect, they pulled them off as an luirleinin would change his dress. The prb songs prainced the saw with which they cut off their irons, and acknowledged that limit intended escape was to have taken place on Saturday, but their operations were incomplete without the assistance of Brown's wife. This hazardous en deavour must have caused much bloodshed, as the top of the prison is well watched, and it would have been next to im possible for the escape to have been carried iutu execution.

" The condition (says he) in which we frequently found these unhappy wretches, was often deplorable, and de• grading to humanity! On taking possession of a vessel, most of the male prisoners were observed to be in irons between decks. In the morning, indeed the women and children were dragged upon deck front their human, or rather inhuman, stew-holes. These poor creatures would huddle themselves together, like a parcel of monkies, or frightened fowls, and remain squatted in the same position till ordered back again to their dbmal abode ! Among such desponding wretches, scurvy made rapid strides ; indeed, we frequently flmnd them so overrun with this loathsome disease, that the whole of th e ir teeth might be picked front their gums tvithout causing the 6111a 1 101 -0- - - - - THE MA IiCiiiSTER CO NSPIn.INTORA.—The trial of these men, nine in number, called " The Illanketeers," stands over until the next assizes.

With t:, is in• tention they went to the edge which skirted the defendant's garden, and u bile one of the lads was in the act of cutting a stick, be received flee contents of a spring gun in the lower part of his body.
