Prison-bbkaking . —^ An escape has been effected from Carnarvon county prison by three men who had been committed to trial . Immediately after the retirement of the turnkey , the "three men threw over the wall an ample length of rope , to which was suspended a heavy weight , also composed of rope bound up into a . baH . By this contrivance , the first was enabled to climb to the top , where he drove a . spike into the parapet , to which the rope was fastened . This rendered the scaling an easy task , and , having abundance of rope at command , they descended safely on the opposite side .

'' - ; The Independance Bays , " It is so certain , that no one can anylbnger doubt the existence of a secret treaty between France , Austria , and England , as a corollary of the treaty of April 15 tb . " A serious question had . arisen between the Government of Paraguay and- the French cbntnl ; respecting the treatment of a colony , bf French aeittJers , and it was feared that some trouble would ensufe with the Italian colony of Patagones . —Times of this . day .
The topic of the day in political circles here ( says the Paris correspondent of the Globe ) is , an allegation , more than an accusation , against the late Lord Raglan , in a History of the Crimean War , published under Government auspices by the Baron de Bazanciourt . Few men have had more to snfferthan Lord Raglan . In his lifetime , he was made the scapegoat to whom all the ills which afflicted the army in the first year of the war were attributed . After bis death , M . de Bazancourt exposes to the world , that Lord Raglan's " non-co-operation" was the cause of General Canrobert's resignation .
The same work also contains the French Emperor ' s plan of operations in the Crimea on which he intended to act had he gone to the seat of war , but which he afterwards communicated to Lord Raglan . The Emperor writes : — " I would have sent into the valley of the Baidar the 40 , 000 men taken from the army of Sebastopol ; and , supported by Lord Raglan , I would have occupied , from Skelia as far as the bridge of Teuld and Tchorgoun , the four roads which cross the Tchemaya . After this movement , I : would have left Lord Raglan master of all the positions on the left of the Tchernaya from Skelia as far as Tchorgoun . ; I would have assembled in the rear of the lines occupied by the English the 40 , 000 men of the active
army , with ; the cavajry , and the mean * of . . transport at my disposaL , waiting in that position for the arrival of tny corps d ' armee , which , coming from Constantinople , would have . rdceived orde-rs to reconnoitre Cape Phoro ^ . ,: . . ¦ * As soon as the fleet , bringing the 25 , 00 t ) men of the reserve , had been seen approaching , orders would have been given for them to proceed to Aloucbta . A first body of 3000 men would immediately on their landing establish themselves three leagues from Alouchta , beyond the defile of Ayen . No others would be landed until information , had been received' of the occupation of that defile . After such information had been received , the remainder of the 25 , 000 men would land , and the 40 , 000 assembled at Baidar would receive orders to march along the road which skirts the seacoast by Yalta . In three days , the 40 , OQO men from Baidar would have joined under
the . walls of Simpheropol the 25 , 000 just landed ; the town would have been taken possession of , or a good position would have been taken up on the road we had just passed , to secure the rear df the army . Now , either the Russian army before Sebaatopol would have abandoned that formidable position to meet the army which would advance from the side pf , Bakstchi-serai , and then the first army of operation ,,, under thq orders of Lord Raglan , would push forward , and take possession , of the position of Inkerihan : or tHe Rus " sians would await in their lines the arrival of the army advancing from Simpheropol , and then the ( latter , advancing from Bakatchi-serai on SebaatopOjl , always supporting his left on the mountains , would form a junction with t £ e army of Marshal Raglan ^ who had advanced from Baidar on Albat , repulse the Russian army , and drive it back into Sebastopol or into tho qea .
