Liverpool, Monday.— This morning, in consequence of information having been received that the Captain Ross has arrived with prisoners from Quebec, a great number of persons were congregated on the St. George's Pier. The Captain Ross anchored in Bootle Bay, and a steamer was sent out to bring back the convicts, who arrived about four o'clock, and were immediately conveyed to the Liverpool Borough Jail. A desperate attempt was made to mutiny during the passage home, but it was happily frustrated by the determination of Captain Morton, who placed the whole of the prisoners in heavy irons. Names of the prisoners brought by the Captain Ross, which sailed from Quebec, 22nd ultimo. — Alexander McLeod, T. Malcolm, John Grant, J. McNulty, B. West, John Vernon, N. Mellory, Paul Bedford, J. Wagoner, S. Chandler, L. Watson, W. Reynolds, L. W. Miller, William Alves, Robert Walker, James Gammell, George Cooly, Jacob Benut, G. Van Camp, James Brown, Ira Anderson, Randal Wilson, —— F. Farnell, James Lynn, B. O'Hare, Joseph Langwys, Joseph Hamel, James Thompson, Agnes Provost, Isidore Paré, Charles McLeod, Thomas Oliver, John G. Parker, and Baptiste Cadien.
