Something New,—
A few evenings ago, the Auburn state prison, N. Y. (deemed the strongest and best regulated prison in the United States) was, it is said, visited by a thief, or gang of thieves, who effected an entrance in the dark into all the heart of the prison. It appears they made their way into the tailors', shoe makers' shop, seized upon several articles of clothing, &c. &c. and retired with their booty without molestation. It is a wonder, while they were about it, they did not deliver their 400 companions in the 'dungeon keep.'
