Yesterday evening, between the hours of five and sil o'clock, a desperate, and in part a successful, attempt was made by the convicts cmitined in the depot prison to escape from thence, which has been attended with fatal consequences to saute of the military on guard in the prison. The following are the circumstances of this daring etiort : _ . . The number of convicts assembled in the depot from various part of the country amounted to 133, who were all collected in an open yard, with high surrounding walls, into which they are sent every morning for air and there left until evening. The door from the yard to the passage is secured by a large padlock,and a chain which does not suffer it to open wide, and here a turn key and two soldiers are placed, the latter of whom, as the convicts pass in or out, stand with their bayonets fixed and pointed. As usual, eight convicts were sus fered to come nut yesterday evening, and after having supplied themselves with water, were returning, appv rently very quietly, when, on reaching the dot( through which they were to pass into the inner yard, they affected to stoop under the chain. but suddenly sprung upon the two sentinels, and in a moment disarmed them, and knocked down the turnkey. The rush from the inner yard then became general, hut their anxiety and ellMds in get out impeded rather than assisted them, as the chant prevented a free egress. About thirty having got out, they made for the guard house, where there was the usual compliment of men (a serjeant s guard, deducting the number of sentries who were on the ditkrent parts of the prison.) litre a desperate scuffle ensued, in which [navy wounds were inflicted, particularly on the military, the surprise on them being so sudden. This guard room was the may passage through which the convicts could get to the outside yard next the great door leading to the street, which was kept by 1111104 Arm strong, who came to the assistance of the guard, and rendered powerful aid, being an able and courageous man. Lit the ineantimc,Mr. Murphy, the keeper of die depot, alarmed by the noise, rushed tram his house armed with a sword, and on coming to the door of the inner yard, where the attempt began, and seeing the men rushing forward, with equal courage and presence ot mind as sailed them, beat them back and secured the door. He then ran to the guard room, where, and in the outer yard, the conflict was desperate and terrible. Two of the convicts were shot dead, several of the military stabbed and otherwise cut and wounded, but the forum succeeded in forcing open the door, the lock of which they battered with their musqurts, many of• which were broken its pieces, and sixteen of the convicts escaped, who rushed in different directions of the town, but accounts of the affair quickly followed them, and six were quickly re-taken, the Sheriffs, Con stables, and Peace Officers being speedily on the alert.— Eight therefore, are still at large, two of them stopped a gentleman near Denroche's Cross, and forced him to alight from his horse, which they mounted and rode off. One of the military, a soldier of the 10th Veteran 13at• Winn, died this morning of the wound he received—an impiest sat on his body, when the jury returned a verdict of NVillul Murder against the retaken convicts. MOST AFIPECTING CALAMITY.—On Saturday week, being market day at Carnarvon, when the farmers and their domestice, trom Anglesey, were crossing the river in great numbers, a most heart-rending calamity occur red, at a ferry recently established from Llanidan, across to Plas Brunton, about a mile of Carnarvon. From every information, it appears that the boat started with about 23 passengers, besides a variety of articles, intended for Carnarvon market. They had not proceeded quite half way over, it blowing fresh, when the boatman hav ing climbed up the small inest to disentangle a rope attached to the sail, unfortunately fell into the watet ; in the rush to save him, the pressure proved too Brest for the crazy bark to sustain, and in a moment separated nearly in the centre, when, dreadful to relate, with the exception of one individual, the whole were engulphed in the waves! Their screams were heard for an instant resounding tit the shore, but in the returning WeWC, they were for ever hushed ! lu about an hour the undies of four females were brought to Carnarvon, and all the exertions of the medical gentlemen, aided by the utmost sl ill and perseverance of Or. Mason, proved unavailing. It is impossible to describe the consternation and an xiety expressed in the benevolent feelings of the iitha imams of Carnarvon; business was completely sus pended, and when it is considered that numbers front Anglesea had previously arrised in town, and were expecting to be followed by relatives and friends, the scene was appalling, and totally out of our power to describe in adequate terms. The only person saved was Ilugh Wilt!am, , , of Hodowyr Issit, who fortunately clung to the mast, and was picked up ne irk , exhausted, and from whose testimony this accm int is chiefly taken. The State Trials fir High Treason in Scotland terminated at Ayr on NVednesday, when Thomas NPliity withdrew his plea of Not Guilty, anti pleaded Guilty, but the Lord Justice Clerk, in passing sentence of death upon him, held out hopes of the Royal clemency. His Lordship r:iinquished the charges against the other three pri..oners, and they were discharged.
