a lot of silver ware. The case of Forde, for the homicide of Dixon, was called and continued until Friday. Rules were awarded against Jas. Beale, Benj. Housman, and A. W. Shead, Commonwealth's witnesses. John W. Butler was examined and sent on for final trial for having, on the 16th of April, out and wounded Albert N. Hendle, with intent to kill him.

Frances Kelley was arraigned for having, on the 2d of April, in conjunction with a number of unknown persons, riotously assembled in one of the public streets of this city, to the great terror of the public, and entered Pollard & Walker's store and helped herself to a lot of bacon.

Convict captured. --John P. Gunnels, the convict who succeeded in making his escape from the penitentiary on Wednesday morning, at the time an assault was made upon the guard by James Conway, a fellow convict, who was then shot and mortally wounded, was captured by Capt. J. B. Pleasants and watchman Drake, on Wednesday evening and returned to the custody of the Superintendent of the penitentiary. Gunnels had secreted himself in an old stable on the line of the canal about two miles from this city, where he was found by the vigilance of the officers who were in search of him. These officers, we presume, will receive the reward of one hundred and fifty dollars offered by the Governor, though the capture was made before the appearance of the notice from the Secretary of the Commonwealth in the papers offering such reward.
Mistake in the name. --The two penitentiary convicts who conceived the plan of escape from that institution Wednesday morning, one of whom was shot, were not brothers, as was erroneously stated. James Conway and John Gunnel were their names, the former of whom was shot and soon after died. A musket bail passed entirely through Conway's body, and several buckshot were lodged in different parts of his person. The name of the sentinel who was acting as guard to the prisoners was James Brit who conceived the plan of escape from that institution Wednesday morning, one of whom was shot, were not brothers, as was erroneously stated. James Conway and John Gunnel were their names, the former of whom was shot and soon after died. A musket bail passed entirely through Conway's body, and several buckshot were lodged in different parts of his person. The name of the sentinel who was acting as guard to the prisoners was James Briton, one of the members of the Public Guard of this city.
man named Edward Gentry, who is charged with having for some time back been resorting to all sorts of tricks to evade military service, was on Tuesday carried before Capt William Charters, Provost Marshal for the State Reserves, who, upon investigation of the matter, promptly turned him over to Capt Coke as a proper person to join the army. Gentry was at one time sentenced by the Mayor to receive thirty-nine lashes (he being looked upon as a negro) for using insulting language towards Dr. James Conway, but took an appeal from His Honor's decision to the Hustings Court, and that body overruled the decision, there being evidence before them which proved that he was a white man. From that time till the inauguration of the war Gentry has been looked upon as a white man, and would probably have continued so to be considered had he not, to serve his own purposes, otherwise reported himself. It is reliably stated that when called upon recently to enter the Confederate army he represented.
