ANOTHER STATE PRISON ESCAPE, Another outbreak occurred at the State prison at San Rafael, last Saturday. About fifty convicts made their escape. Three bave beeu killed and ton wounded. Fit. tecn were recaptured and carried back to their cells. The party who escaped took the gatckeeper and one of the fuards off with them, but they were aftcrwards released, convicts were immediately pursued, and it ts reported many more of them were kilied. They were all Mexicans and Indians confiaed for short terms, and were employot tn making brick. The Alta of this morning pubiizhes the following particulars of the outbroak:— On Saturday afternoon, between twelve and one o'clock, after the prigovers had dined, they wore started to re sume their work in the brickyard. They were pecoded ‘by the superintendent of labor Mr. George Lee, who sta- tioned himgeif outside of the gato in company with the sokeeper, Mr. Jobin Spell, to watch the prisoaors as they Sted through in regular order, and to direct the different ‘equade to their respective duties in the brickyard. Com. pacy after company had thus pagsed until 160 laborers ad made their exit from the gate; sudieniy a com- pany in the rear slammed the gate to und locked it, at the game timo seizing the gatekeeper, Mr. Speli, and the superintendent labor, bir. Lee, and carrying them off with them. Some forty or fifty of the convicts wh > bad last pagsed the gateway made vif across the brick yara ‘ the direction of Corte Madoira crock. ‘Tuoy pars- ed dik ly aorows the range of two heavy guns, moantei on eacy ‘de of tho prison, upon the higi ground over looking, 9 whole, but took the precaution to rauke use of the two t ‘ereeess whom they had captured as shields, holding th.m between themseives and the gune, and com: peliing tuem with threats of instant death if they refused to call out to the guards not to fico upon them. In this way they proceeded on in the direction of Uorke Madeira, In the meantime the remaining prizonors outside the wall, some 120 in number, made no atiompt to egcapa, but, in ‘the excitement of the moment, while running to’ and fro in various directions, they were fired upon by the guard, Kiiling ono prisoner and wowuding four others. It is proper to state that those who wore fired upon were pre: eens Ay eure i in the plot to escape, as from ‘at first it was impossible to toll whethor they intended to loave or not. The escaped prisoners hhaving locked the gate and thrown away tho key, the others were unablo to get back inside the wali, und rush. od round the northwest angio of the wali 40 the cast gate, where they wero admitted aud soou secured inside the prison building. “Upon counting those wio roturaed, it was fonnd that forty two out of the one hundred and rixty who pasacd out at the gate had escaped. Eight horse guards and several footmen were immeili ately stertod oul in pYrsuit. In the moantima, the oacapod prisopers dragged the two overseers with thom for neu. one mile, where they rencased Mr. Spell, who aftorwarda retarned to the prison.

SAN FRANCISCO MARKETS. FROM WELLS, FARGO AND C9 ’S CIRCULAR, WY Francisco, June 27, 1859. The money market remains in mach we game condition ‘as it was Jeft op the galling of the Iast steamer, the rates of interest on collateral being within the range of 2a 2}¢ percent, according to circumstances. It is too soon to ay what the demand may be by next steamor day, yut it is the prevailing opinion in financial circles that the requirement will be fully up to that of the lust, if It does pot exceed it So much merchendise has been bypothe- cated that it would require considerable sdditiont new supplies to afford the means of farther loans to a large ex- tent; and as to,releasing goods by sale, and thus cancelling loan obligationg, the thing is almost or quite out of the question. New goods secm required for new facilities, though of couree this process of rate! means is cumule. tive of evil.

San Francisco, June 25, 1859, Since our Inst reference, trade in this market in all its branches has been characterized by extreme dulness and inactivity, Transactions at private sale haye been very raro, and the offerings at auction have neither been nu- merous nor important, though embracing about all the businces doing, Althovgh ou abundantly 21 arket at the present time is more than with every description of merchan- digo usually imported from domestic Atlantic ports, the present Inactivity is properly attributable to the non-arri- val of further supplies. Both city and country buyers are withbolsing from tne market in the belief that con- siguecs will submit to lower terms for fresh receipts in preference to allowing stocks in store to furtbor accumu jate, while importers can only effect gales from goods in hand by submitting to concessions, which they appareut- ly will prefer to make, if necessary, upon fresh coasign ments that have not incurred the expense of storage. A reference to our marine report will show that but ono vesrel, the Wizard, bas reacned port from Now York in a period of twenty dove, and this cargo has come to hand #0 recently as toaomit of few sales baing made, whi! buyers still show a disposition to await further arrival Stocks of Raet Tadian and China products have also par- taken of the gencral stagnation in business, the depreseed condition of the market being further burthened with | tho antictpation of additional large receijts. In no one respect can we roport any improvement in boriness. If any enhancement in prices has occurred, it has been in ex ceptionel cases, while the market is malaly nominally lower and positively inactive. We therefore bave o:casion to vary our previous remarks to the effect that goods were selling at low prices, by now st: they are not relling at any price.

Under this allowance, in case of the arrival of a vessel having persona sick on board with contagious diseases the danger of the contsgion reaching the shore was con- siderable, As it is now, they will be anchored in the lower bay, adjacent the anchorage for infected vessels, and more remote’ from shore than formerly. As soon after anchorage as possible the Health Officer will board them and determine on their continaance there or por- migsion to proceed to the city. A STEAMBOAT REQUIRED. Under the new system about to be introduced, compell- ing verscls from infected ports to drop anchor ta the wer bay, the Honlth Officer distovers, as he alleges, the absolute neccssity of a small steamboat to enable him to go every ony to the lower bay and board the newly ar- rived vessels. He says that not unfrequently it will be necessary for him to go two or three times & day, in order, in cage of the arrival of any sick with yel- low fever, to see to their immediste transfer to the Falcon, und should there be no ground for the detention of the ‘veesel, to not submit her owners to unnécessary expense through unneceatary celay. Forther, he will haye occa sion very frequently, in the proper discharge of his duties, to visit the floating hospital, as also Randali’s and Ward’s Islands, where those sick with non-contagious diseases are pow taken. Ho made an application yesterday to the Health Commissioners, as will be found in our report they refuged the application on the ground fuat the State | authorities wore the proper parties to appiy to, the Stato | baving in its removal of Quarantine from Castleton ordered | that disposition of the sick arriving in port compolling the necetaity Of a steamboat. The Health Officer says that he intends to renéw the application to the Commissioners of Emigration at their next rceting, and in case of their re- | fural, to make therame application to ths Qacrantine Com. migsiovers. In cage of his faliure all aroand, ne proposes ! to charter a steamboat at his own experse—a steamboat, | he alleges, being as esecntial under the present syatem of | regulations to the proper discharge of his duties as board- | ing newly arrived vessels. A SECOND FLOATING HOSPITAL. | _Ademolition of the board hospitals erected on tho | Site of the old Quarantine hospitals, after the iattor {| Were burned, was commenced yesterday, pursuant to aa | order cf the ‘Health officer; the special object calling for | the destruction of these somewhat memorable woolen | edifices just at this period is to procure boards and lum- | ber to be used in the conversion of the ‘distributing barge” Pilgrim into a floating hoepital. This barge, as is well known, is uged to convey to Ward’s and Blackwell's islands those arriving in portsick with smallpox and aiceaees rot contagious. It is Bow proposed to add a temporary deck to her, the interior to be fitted into a proper ward for the reception of all patients the charac- ter of whose diseases are not fully desermined. The alteration will entail but slight expeise, and most bene. ficial results it 18 believed will follow tho carrying out of the plan proposed. The anchorage of this barge ia oppo: site the old Quarantine, aud almost midway between Uas- tcton and the Long Island ehore vpposite. VESSELS AT QUARANTIN! ‘There were only three vessels yeeterd: Quarantioe —the brig Ada from Neuvitas, the brig periment from Matanzas, and the schooner Produce from Cardenas. There is only One person eick on the Ada, and his is not believed | to be a cage of yellow fevér. The Produce stopped about two weeks at Havana, and on account of the iatter being an infected port she is detained for fumigation. Tho float ing hospital, still going by her original name of Falcon. and not having been changed to Nightingale, as some ‘the papers have stated, continues at her anchorage in the lower bay. Tho two convalescent vellow fever cases are | on board of her, and are the only sick persons on the ves- nel, Application has been made to Mr. Jamon Arthur Boone to act as nurse for the yellow fever patients.

Judge Sutherland. Jury 22.—The People, by the Attorney General, vs. James Bowen and others (the Metropolitan Gas Company).—This was a motion for @ quo warranto against he defendants for ‘assuming to act as. an incorporated company without au- thority of law. In the complaint it is alleged that the defendants have incorporated themscives together, and claim to be a corporation, and are unlawfully acting as a corporation, under an alleged act of the Legislature of the State of New York, entitied “An act to incorporate the } Metropolitan Gasijght Company of the city of New York,’’ pasted April 17, 1856, but farther alleges, that although April, 1855, and the Senate on the 16th day of April, 1856, yet it was not approved or signed by the Govervor until the 17t0 day of april, 1855, and that the Legisiature adjourned without day on the I4th day of April, 1865, and wes not again in seasion that year. By an averment of tho complaint the act in ques- ‘im is made part of the complaint. (session laws of 18%, p. 1,033.) By sec. Lef the act, Bovea and others, av. thelr securities, are constituted the Metropolitan Gas \.y at Company of the city of New York, and empowered dey their pipes in the streets, &c., for the purpose of coud g gas, ke ; but this can only be done by obiain. og permission of tae Board of Common Coyocil. The complaint further alleges that on tho 12th of September. the Board of Councilmen granted such permiseion, bat on the 8th of December the Board of Aldermen non concur- red, and the resolution was lost. That on the 20th of De- cemiber, 1858, the Board of a resolution in relation thereto, which was nos conctrre4 in on 29th of December, 1355. Tac complaint insists that the defencents and thetf associates are not a corporation, and | bave no right to art as such, and that if the act of the Le- gislature was approved vy the Gvernor go as to become & law, it was unconstitutional and vord, because not up- proved by the Governor ualil after the adjournment of ‘the legislature, and for this reasoa failed to become a law. ‘The Judge entcrs elaborately tuto the law and the ques tions arising in the case, and concludes his Jesision by saying that be cannot concar in the view of the question Presented on the part of the people. I suppose the appli- cante for this special act of incorporation tnought, and that the Legistature thought tbat the corporation might not be able 19 obtain the permission and authority within the year, and this permissioa in the special act was put ta ‘with reference to tae general law, and for the purp ¢e of relieving the defendants from it. It was plainly within the power of the Legieiature entirely to relieve the defena- ants from the fina! provision of the general law, and I thivk they intended todo fo by the special provision in ‘their special act. Sut suppose this 1s not so, and that ef- fect can be given and should be given to the general provi. sion and the provision both. This special provi- deemed to be in practical operation from the time the per- formance and the authority are obtained, Then why was not the application ot the defendants ag a corporation, by of ita business within the provisions of the Revised Sta tuter? As the Legislature had seen fit to do so absurd a thing as to declare in effect that the obtaining the permis- sion and authority should be deemed the business for which the defeniants were incorporated, I do not see why the Court must pot hold that the applicatioa by tho Corporation for the permiseion and anthority in 1855, aud the procecdinga ol the two boards thereon, alleged in tho complaint, were not a commencement of its business. It J not alleged in the complaint that the company did not elect a president within the year, and it must be assumed that it was organized within the year by the slection of a eeident, within section 9 of the act. Upon all the questions raired by the demarrer in this case my con- ciuafon is that the defendant must have judgment on the demurrer? with costs.

Dying without issue, bis brotners and sisters, and their representatives, inherited the estate. Taree of these heirs resided iu this town, ove iu Strong, one in New Sharon, one in Fayette, one in Gardiner, and one in Low- ell, Mass., and every one of them belong to that cliss who are over ready to ‘‘shriek for freetom’’ and shed croco- dile tears over the sufferings of the “poor slave’ As these slaves came into thair hands without any effort, cost or sacrifice on their part to obtain them, it would certaiply be more reasonable to expect their liberation at their bande then from Soutbern siavebolders who have paid for their slaves, acquired them as they do other pro- perty, been accustomed to their gervices and facitiisr with the institution all their lives; yet the result proves the re- verse tobe true. Toese conscientious anti-elavery repub- licans unanimous'y decided to have their slaves soid into thet perpetual bondage which they, havo go strenuously denounced as the ‘sum of ail villaintes.”” Their decision has becn carried into effect. The siaves have been gold by the administrator in Miseouri, by their orders. A gen- tleman ot this village, who went to Missouri a8 agent for the heirs to cloge up the estate, has just returned, bring- ing with him sixorseven thousand doltars ‘arvidents ariging from the gnle of slaves and other property up to this time, a portion of the property having been goid on tume, the proceeds of which are not yet availaole. Doubtlees these “freedom and humasity” brethren will continue to advocate the abolition of slavery—jiagling their slaye money fa their pockets while they abuse Souther n slayeholders, including thoreto whom they have sold theirs, for not tiberating their bondmen, Such ia black republicanism in New England. Stave Bakepinc vs. Tue Suave Trane.—The Brandon (liss.) Republican ts violently opposed to the slave trade, not because it regards it as unchristian or inhuman, but because :ts revival and increage wiil spoil the business of elave breeding in the old slaveholding States. It argues very earnestly against the injustice which would be done to such States as Virginia or Maryland, and the ruin that would come upon them, if, by the importation of cargoes ef Congoes futo the extreme Southern S:ates, the business of breeding slaves in the old States for the Sou:h- ern market should be spoiled. This iz the event impend- ing which alarms the Mississippi editor. Hear him on thig point:— Now let us consider the probable Reece Lert drawing upon the :avage and ora a taal ovens m mn markets the slave re aithough for the last eight or tcn years she has thrown upon ns moro slaves than any on0 of the old slave States— mx States that must hereafter derive profit from breed- ing slaves {or the Southern States, or derive no profit from the institution? We mean Delaware, land, Virginia, North Carolina, Kenwcky and stissourt. Nearly one third of the population of these States are slaves. If siave labor cannot be made to pay there—aad we hear it coa- tinuaily asserted that this labor cannot be advantageously employed tn grain growing countries—then woat are they to do with their siaves if this policy ig inaugurated ant they are excluded from Southern markets, they being forced to cetain in their hands property which caa maka no adequate return for the expenses of feeding, i So!
