Frustrated.

--Sundry of the prisoners in the city Jarl, especially those in the chain-gang, who are kept in the South yard, attempted to enlarge their area of liberty on Sunday, by making a hole through the East wall of the yard. To conceal the work, a line was stretched across the yard and hung with blankets, A very good beginning had been made when the intended flight was discovered from above, and the parties engaged therein placed in close confinement.
