LAW INTELLIGENCE. THIRD THE AITEMPT TO BLOW UP THE DUNDEE POWDER MAGAZINE. (Flom ova ono DUWDEB, FRIDAT NIGHT. An unsuccessful attempt was Made on Thursday to blow up the magazine situated in the barracks, which is used for the storage of gunpowder for the supply of the public. It appears that Michael Waters, the keeper of the magazine, had proceeded to the barracks in company with a young man named Robert Gow for the purpose of obtaining a supply o f gunpowder. It was considered impossible to enter the magazine without apprising the military sentry whose duty it is to take special superin tendence of it. This regulation was duly observed, and the doollrin the wall by which the magazine is surrounded was opened by the sentry, who had possession of the key. At the other end of the wall there is also a door, and Waters had arranged to open it and admit Gow, who had gone to the magazine by another road. All three having now been inside the wall, the sentry is said to have opened the outer door of the magazine proper. As soon as that was done it is alleged that all the three persons saw at the same moment a piece of tow lying close to the inner door of the magazine, in a smouldering condition. The sentry at once gave the alarm, and Waters was put under arrest and conducted to the orderly room, where, however, be was released. This is the p6lice version of the circumstance, but it differs considerably from the account furnished by the soldiers. They say that Waters passed the guard as usual, and had the wall gate opened to him by the sentry, and he instantly repaired to the magazine, and was fol lowed by the sentry some distance behind. When he reached the magazine he was astonished to find that Waters and the man Gow were inside. As he thought there was something wrong, be, without a moment's delay, called the guard, and a scene such as we have des cribed ensued. To day (Friday) it was reported that two soldiers belonging to the barracks had absconded ; and that among the tow was a piece of cloth used for military underclothing. Sheriff Smith, and Mr. J. B. Baxter, the Procurator Fiscal, commenced an investigation of the circum stances to-day. On enbartag, the whole bar coos and bowed reepectially to Gm now Lord Jumbo, who rotarned the cempliment in his usual eonrioom and gentlemanly scanner. The new Lord Justice took his seat upon the right hand, facing the bar—the old one for 15 years occupied by Lord Justine Haight Bruce. Lord Juana Boleyn took the second, or lett-hand seat, facing the bar. In reply to Mr. Bodes% Lewd Jostles Selwyn meld it was the wish of the Lord Chansolkw that he and the senior Lord Justice should lake all the appeals from Vioe•Chanoellor Wood's court. The Lords Justices then proceeded with the hewing of an unimportant cue on the paper called King v. Brown, and the densely crowded *curt then became rapidly thinned. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

This morning all carriage traffic was stopped in rh.• Strand, nem Temple-bar, in consequence of the womentarily expected fall of !several houses on the site ap propriated for the new law courts. The houses in question e•miat of a row of lofty brick buildings on the north pile of the Strand and close to Temple-bar. The surround ing houses have been already removed, and these houses at, in course of demolition. The roofs of some sod th. floorings of others have been removed. This ironing the house formerly occupied by Mr. ll.lloway, and that between it and the old Nn.-..lre' Express office suddenly cracked across the f reit, and bulged outwards in a most alarming manner. The greatest consternation prevailed in the neighbour h.od. It was feared that the vibration of the purring tr olic would cause the ricketty buildings to fall into thy str,et and crush all who might be in the a. y. The police were sent for and a body of tb.• A reserve were soon on the spot. The carriage trathc w:ui at ones stopped ; all vehicles coming from the ,a.twar.l were compelled to go up Chancery-lane, and that biiraw thoroughfare was soon completely choked up with the somber of cabs, omnibuses, and vans which were obliged t.. t ,ke that most inconvenient route. No foot passengers sere permitted Logo along the pavement of the Strand tar the point of danger. It is thought to be certain that sadden gust of wind would bring the two houses stick have split and bulged to the ground, and with them the other houses on either side. The difficulty of dealing with the matter is very great, b.r it is impossible to allow workmen to go to the bowie* it her to support them or topull them down by degrees with ..aposing the men to almost certain destruction. The of the giving way of the outer walls of the houses ~ppears to be the removal of the lower floors, thus depriv. mg the structure of all support from the "binding" of the tr.usterse beam and rafters. LATER PARTICULARS. Another reporter says:—" The danger of the buildings s 3, itnmediately made known to the contractors, who tot every precaution for the safety of the public. A, a matter of course the carriage traffic was stopped, and .1,11 inconvenience was experienced. The whole of limps on the opposite side of the thorough ,.o.• were shut. A number of labourers were •,:aged, and in the task of shoring up the buildings and tl. slug away the old materials, they were exposed to peat danger. At about 11 o'clock the near demolition of the houses numbered 244 and 245 was evident, and notice at, given to the labourers to be on theta* out. Precisely at 5 Jinutesto 12 thefonndationsof theme houses were observed t. , give way, and amidst the shouts for the safety .1 the workmen, both houses fell in ruins. The noise wm3 very great, and the dust was so intensely black 3,, to completely obscure Temple Bar. The dust having detretl away, it was ascertained that none of the I. , 3tkuten were injured, and to the perseverance of the pollee must be attributea the entire safety of the crowds 64 witnessed the fall. The houses numbered 242 and _'l3 on the eastern aide, and 246 and 247 on the western side remain standing ; but immediate measures mil be taken for their being pulled down. At present no further danger is apprehended." Tilt: FENIAN PRISONERS IN NEIVGATE. Evidence hav • ing been taken in aupport of the charge, Sir Robert W. Carden uid it wee imporible to believe that there was not a guilty knowledge on the part of the defendant. He would not fine him the fell penalty of 101. in each ease, but in the mitigated penalty of U. or one weeks' imprisonment in each eon, making 701. or 14 week's imprisonment. In France it would be imprison ment without a line, and he trusted he should we the time when that would be the law in England. The fines were then paid under protest. csterclay the three Fenian prisoners, Burke, rasey, and Shaw, against whom the grand jury for the e.,unty of Warwick a few days ago returned true bills on indictments charging them with treason felony, and which indictments have been removed by certiorari to the Central Criminal Court, arrived at the prison of Newgate, where they will remain until and pending their trial. They left Warwick at 8 in the morning, in the custody of 20 of the Warwickshire constabulary, travelling to London by the great Western line. On arriving at Paddington they were placed in a prison van and escorted thence by • strong body metropolitan mounted police to Newgate, which they readied about noon. There are consequently now ten Fenian prisoners incarcerated in Newgate, awaiting their trhils, including the seven who stand committed from Rne , treet on the charge of murder in connection nab the affair at the Clerkenwell House of Detention. The prison is guarded outside, night and day, by a picked body of the City police, who are armed with cut hs,e, and revolvers, and of whom there are so many that nu two of them are said ever to be out of sight of each other. They fonn, in fact, a complete cordon round the whole Ladling, end additional precautions are understood to I. .vv been taken inside to insure the greater security of the l're•ne. At the Old Bailey an opinion prevails that at the nett wsaion, which will commence on Monday, April 6, all the ordinary criminal business, which usually occupies the neater pert of, and occasionally the whole, week, will be ' l .oosed of before the Fenian prieonen are put upon ,thaw trial , Ordinarily great trials do not committee there b 'f" , •• the Wednesday of the session, when the judges ..!t end ; but, as the trial of the Fenian prisoners will be c„ , -sadly moat protracted, and as, if begun on Wedlice -f, a.

' Yesterday the prisoner, Miles Wetherill, was brought before the magistratesat Todmorden, on remand, charged with the murder of Jane Smith, at the Tedrow , den Vicarage. The hearing took place in the Oddfellows Hall, and the public interest which the came has excited was shown by the large crowd that bad aseerobled, and rendered approach to the hall almost b. Policemen, with the prisoner in charge, had to figC li ttet way through the crowd, and some of the magistrate. had to make their way over the roof of an aStoining building, and enter the room through a aide window. The prisoner was not defended ; and when asked if he would like to have his mother in court, he answered in the negative. The Rev. A. J. Plow was the first wither.. He damoribed the art:muteness under which the CriMO was committed, and which hayealready been detailed in the Express. He had remonstrated with the prisoner for keeping company with so young a girl as Sarah Bell. Witness slid not see the prisoner upon his premises after be remonstrated with him ; but be frequently beard whistling near the house ,• the window bad been broken with stones ; and pistols had been fired. On one oocasion a window wu broken, and the back door covered with shot at the same time. The prisoner-:reioarliietoCeiyou how itwsa that you denied me, after the honourable way in which I came to you, and knowing my honourable intentions Witness —l have already said that the girl was so young that it wu quite sufficient to induce an. to deny you. Prisoner—Why did you deny me after you knew her parents had no objections ? Witness—At that stage the girl knew very little of you, she oared little for you, and you were indifferent to her. Prisoner—l think you are mistaken there. Witness—She told we so. . . . . i'rieOner—lco youthink, if she had not oared for me, she would have gone with me afterwards? Witness—ln that consisted the sin, in my eyes. Sarah Bell, when it was put to her, had no wish that the matter should go on ; and we had no notion that the matter was going on at all till within a mouth of her dismissal, which was six months after the explanation. I mention this just to show why it was I thought she should leas*. Prisoner—Don't you think she oared for me, when she would go with nie after that time? Wit;ess—l ain't say. Prisoner—Didn't you once say she was a steady girl? Witness—Yes. She was a very steady girl. Prisoner—Didn't you afterwards say, when she left, that you mistrusted h er? Witness—Yea. Prisoner—Didn't you say. that if she had been a respect able girl she would not have gone with me after that tune? Witness— I may have said so. Prisoner—Did not you say when you said you mis trusted her, that I blasphemed every time I mama the church ; didn't you refuse to open a reading room because you were afraid I should go ? and didn't you say you would rather I stayed away from church ? Witness - 4 to the blsapbemy, I cannot say that I used those exact words. Prieoner—Tbose were the words. Witness—l am not aware that I refused to open the readin room for fear you should go. I believe I did say I woul d - rather you stayed away from church. When you spoke to me about having your revenge, I believed t ha t you referred to the servants, and not to me or to my family. Prisoner denied that he b ad broken the windows, and he then asked the witness—Do you think your wife ever said to Sarah, " Will you have a weaver ?" Witness: I know nothing about it, but I think it is very unlikely. Prisoner—Did you think my intentions were really good to the girl Witness—l hay. DO reason to doubt it. Prisoner—Do you know whether Sarah was ever " car peted " by;you or your wife ? Witness—l believe I once lectured her. Prisoner—Didn't you speak to her of me in a shunning way ? Witneu—That interview led to her dismissal. Prisoner—Don't you think she eared for me when she gave up her situation? Witness—She had no choice ; she was obliged to give it up. Prisoner—Didn't you give her a week to consider of it before you gave her notice Witness—Not that lam aware of. Her eooduct wee so Migrant that I should think it very unlikely.. _ Among the other witnesses examined was Barth Bell herself, and a number of letters that had peeped between her and the prisoner were read. At 7 minutes past 9 o'clock the come far the pressitioa closed, and the magistrates' clerk asked the prisoner If he had anything to say in answer to the first charge—namely, wilful murder. The prisoner said—l wish to say • few words, but it will all amount to nothing, When I began to keep com pany with Sarah, I thought I would act as an honwarable man. I waited upon Mr. Plow one night when he was awn ! ing out of church, and told him I wanted to ask • favour, which I hoped he would grant. I told him I wanted to keep company with Sarah, and whoa he asked me bow long I had known her, I said Ibad bad my eye upon her , aver since she came to Todmorden. He rid that was quite natural. I caked him if be would grant me that favour, and he said, " Oh, no, be could not think of such • thing." I said I t hought I would ' come and ask him in the right way, sad I little thought he would deny me. I said also that I did not want lo go whistling about the back yard sad that my intent ions were good. He replied that lie had always looked upon me as • respectable young man ; that Sarah was a good girl, and he would spunk to his wife about it. I went to Lim • day or two afterwards, and he told me that he bad talked the matter over with his wife, and they could not give their consent. Ho maid they were both vary well phased with the honourable way in which I had acted, but they could not allow me to come into the house. I asked that Swab might be allowed to come oat Ia see me, but he refused, and I saw it was no use asidog for the privilege, but I was determined to keepingto ths hones, and I did go until Jane told about us company. A stop woe then put to it. Siam then (bass prisoner made • violent garters, and tore • paper he held into fragments) I have beim going to ruin &1141 ever be. I will di* HU ••dog ; but, after all, I am glad Mr. tad Mrs. Plow me living, and I hope they will forgive me. ANOTHER FAILURE IN THE IRON TRADE. Yesterday afternoon, Messrs.

Might I ask you kindly to insert this letter, which I write for the purpose of stating that, with the ex ception of one or two districts, there is as yet but little abatement in the distress. Our society has 52 sewing classes, now at work in the east, giving employment, on an average, to about 3,500 women daily, ninetieths of whom are married women, whose husbands are out of work, the remainder being widows and single women. Should more liberal oottributions not come in during the next few days, we shall be obliged to reduce the number by one-half, and in the course of another week diecon thine altogether the work which has been pronounced by clergy of all Christian denominations, and by the laity residing on the spot, one of the most important ever carried on among the poor.

There has been oonsidenble difference of opinion which bu resulted in several divisions, at recent meetings, respecting the re solutions upon which the report is to be based. If we are oorrectl y Informed the oommiasionen have already decided by • majority on four clause of their report. The first suites that since the first report in relation to the vestments the 00•1131i1160111E1 have pro- oeeded to consider the question of altar-lights and incase. With regard to the first point they state that having taken evidence and examined the arguments in the came of `Martin v. Mackonochie," and "Maua v. Simpson,' they come to the conclusion that the use of lighted candles at the celebration of Holy Communion has only been introduced into certain churches within the last 95 years. The consideration of • rider to the effect that no information ham been laid Wore the commission proving altar lights to have been mod in churches fee H* years previous tothe time shove-named, has been pulped on the motion of the Bishop of London. An alternative proposition, moved by Mr. Hubbard, rendering admissible the nee of chasubles, alba, and copse, provided they be made of white linen, was, although it declared the emloy ment of incense inadmissible rejected on a division. - lite turning point of the report will, we are informed, come on for discussion on the 12th inst., when Sir Joseph Napier will propose • resolution to restrain all veriatbse from established usage in the matter of lights and incense, in the same manner in which the nee of vestments wee dis couraged in the first report. The commissioners have almost completed their revision of those rubrics which have given rise to varying usages in the °Mee for Holy Communion.— Herold.
