CANDLES. —If you do not want your candles exclusively for show, but with pleasantness of appearance require excellence of burning, buy "PRICE'S GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE," or their " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," or their good old-fashioned "BELMONT SPERM." or "BELMONT WAX," for their "BEST," "N o. 2," " No. 3," or " BATTERSEA " COMPOSITE, in preference to the finest and most transparent Paraffine candles. But if you must have the extreme trans parency of pure Paraffine, " PRICE'S PARAFFINE" or their "BELMONTINE" will give it to you in perfection, and at a more moderate price than is usually charged for any other really first class Paraffine Candles. The new toilet soap "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE," containing half its weight of their concentrated distilled Glyce rine, should be in general use in every house before the winter comes on, because of its admirable effects in preventing chap ping of the hands and face. In every house there ought also to be one of the sealed bottles of their concentrated Distilled Gly cerine, known everywhere as "PRICE'S GLYCERINE," and prescribed by the most eminent medical men abroad as well as at home, as the one only Glycerine for medicinal use whether ex ternally or internally. PRICE'S FANCY SOAPS of the different sorts usually made are excellent, and command a constantly increasing sale. The "Solidified Glycerine" spoken of above is, however, the one fancy soap to use. " PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning in the wide glasses are believed to be the very best Night Lights made. "PRICE'S CHILDS' NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning without glasses, and their different sorts of "CHAMBER CAN DLES" are so well known, and so generally used and appre ciated, as not to need any special notice here.

IWOTOGRAPHY ON PORCELAIN OR GLASS. The following curious method of transporting photographs on ceramic surfaces has just been patented by M. Grune. The first operation con sists in obtaining by the usual methods a negative on glass of the subjects to be reproduced. This done, the negative is coated with a fusible glass by the heat of a common cupelling furnace, and the image is thus rendered unassailable by any sub stance which glass can resist. The second ope ration consists in getting positives from the negative thus prepared. This is done by collo dionising the image side in a dark room with iodised collodion, sensitising it in a nitrate of silver bath, then putting it into a printing frame with the uncoated side exposed to the light, while the coated side is protected from the action of light by a black surface not in contact with it. In this state the printing-frame is ex posed to light for two or three minutes ; then taken again into the dark room, where the collodionised plate is immersed in a revealing bath of sulphate of iron and sulphuric acid, then well washed and fixed in hyposulphite of soda. The image now appears iu reducei silver ; before the collodionised surface is quite dry, a sharp point of a needle is run all along the borders, the plate is then immersed in water containing five per cent. of glycerine, and the film of collodion will soon be seen floating on the liquid. The negative is then washed, wiped, and dried, and put by until again required. The film, which may be kept indefinitely in the glycerinised water without spoiling, is taken out when wanted, and its silver surface changed to gold by chloride of gold, or to the appearance of steel by chloride of platinum, &c., after which it is dipped into a solution of metallic salts, which, by the action of fire, will yield certain colours according to the operator's wish. The film is now carefully laid on the porcelain or glass to be adorned ; it will stick by means of diluted glycerine and a soft brush. It is then coated with a vitreous flux, and becomes per manently fixed in the furnace. 111ATcllEs.—We glean the following curious par ticulars concerning matches from a paper lately read to the Societe des Ingenieurs-Civils, by M. Pcligot. It has been calculated that the number of matches consumed in France is about six per head per day ; it is eight in England, and nine in Belgium. Taking the French average as a basis, the num ber of matches consumed all over Europe in a day is about 2,000 millions, representing upwards of 6001bs. of wood. The kinds of wood chiefly em ployed in manufacturing them, viz., as p en an d poplar, are sold by the cubic metre (35 cubic Let) ; allowing for vt aste, this quantity does not weigh more than 5001 b., so that in Europe alone the num ber of cubic metres of wood thus burnt amounts to 400,000, being equivalent to 14 millions of cu bi c feet English measure. To this quantity should be added that of the stearine matches, commonly called Vestas, the consumption of which has of late in creased very considerably. The weight varies be tween 3,200 and 4,000 per lb. in France. The quantity of phosphorus used in the manufac ture of matches is about 42 0,0001 b., exclusive of chlorate of potash, sulphur, minium, sulphu ret of antimony, gum, and glue. There are in Austria manufactories employing 5,000 hands, and the aggregate value of matches produced is 250 millions of francs. The invention of friction matches only dates from 1832. In 1835 chlorate of potash was partially replaced by minium and per oxide of manganese, and phosphorus by sulphuret of antimony. In 1837 chlorate of pot as h was com pletely abandoned for bi-oxide of lead, and then for the nitrate of that metal, and also by nitrate of potash. In France chlorate of potash continued to be in use till 1847 ; at present it is only used for Vestas. It is a very dangerous substance, since it will explode by mere friction in the mortar. M. Schneider, President of the Legislative Body, gave his first grand dinner of the session last even ing to L number of Deputies. DIABOLICAL FENIAN OUTRAGE. Yesterday London was made the scene of a Fenian outrage exceeding in enormity anything even they have yet attempted. It had for its object the liberation of the prisoners Burke and Casey, who have been for some time confined in the Clerkenwell House of Detention. With a reckless disregard for life, a gang of conspirators attempted to accomplish this purpose by blowing in a wall of the prison. Happily the attempt was frustrated. It could hardly by any possibility have succeeded, but in its failure it involved immediately the Eves of three persons and injuries to forty or fifty others, some of which are almost certain to prove fatal, and in addition to this loss of life a destruction of a large number of houses and their contents. The scene of the explosion is Corporation-lane, which runs parallel with the prison wall on its northern side, and consisted of houses three stories high —some of them let out in tenements and others used for various manufac turing purposes. The prison is surrounded on the northern side by Corporation-lane, on the east by Woodbridge street, and on the west by Rosoman-street. Corporation lane is a narrow street, having the prison wall on one side and a row of eight or ten three-storey tenements on the other. Opposite the centre of the wall is a narrow court, called St. James's-passage, running into a street called St. James's-place, which is parallel to Corporation-lane. St. James's-place runs into Rosoman-street. Rosoman street is the best of the streets referred to. It is composed almost solely of private houses, inhabited chiefly by working jewellers and lapidaries, who carry on their trade, which is indigenous to Clerkenwell, with pretty fair success. The explosion, which sounded like a discharge of artil lery, occurred at exactly a quarter to four o'clock in the afternoon, when there is still daylight oven in these short days, and it was heard for miles round. In the immediate neighbourhood it produced the greatest consternation, for it blew down houses and shattered the windows of others in all directions. The windows of the prison itself, of coarse glass more than a quarter of an inch thick, were to a large extent broken, and the side of the building imme diately facing the outer wall in which the breach was made, and about 150 feet from it, bears the marks of the bricks which were hurled against it by the explosion. The wall surrounding the prison is about 25ft. high, 2ft. 3in. thick at the bottom, and about 14in. thick at the top. In order to understand the events in the order in which they occurred, we must go back a little. The police, warned of the desperate character of the Fenians by the outrage at Manchester, appear to have suspected that some such attempt might be made, and therefore, ever since Burke and Casey were first remanded, the exterior of the House of Detention has been watched by detective police. A house close to the north-western boundary of the prison has been suspected of being a Fenian rendezvous. There have never been less than three detectives on the watch ; but up to yesterday they failed to discover anything positively suspicious. Yesterday morning three officers, named Sutton, Ranger, and Knowles, went on duty, and about twelve o'clock they noticed three men and a woman of suspicious appearance and still more suspicious behaviour. For some time the officers watched them unobserved, and saw that they appeared to be reconnoitring the prison walls and the surrounding streets and courts. The close scrutiny of the constables made the Fenians, for such they were, suspect that they were under surveil lance, and there then followed a series of ma noeuvres on both sides, one party being anxious to throw the other off the scent, and the other just as determined to keep their game in view. The Fenians separated and went different ways, an example which was promptly followed by the officers. Then they harked back, and again congregated in the vicinity of the prison, where, being again alarmed, one of the men, who is known, and who has for some time past been sus pected, though no positive proof could be obtained against him, drove off in a cab, while the others again separated, each dogged by an officer. At about half-past three o'clock, immediately before the explosion, the detectives had watched the party of Fenians into St. James's-place, and saw them turn into St. James's pas:age. The officers were then in Rosoman-street, and, of course, all that was necessary to prevent the Fenians getting out of sight, was to watch the end of St. James's place and Corporation-lane. After a brief parley to arrange the plan of operations, Ranger and Knowles went up St. James's-place to reach the end of St. James's passage, and Sutton went down Rosoman-street to guard the end of Corporation-lane. Just as Ranker -and Knowlcs reached the end of the passage they met two of the men and the woman running at full speed up the passage, in a direction away from the prison wall, with such an expression of anxiety and alarm that the officers were satisfied that something had been done, and at once stopped and arrested them. Scarcely had they seized their prisoners when a tremendous explosion took place, which almost prostrated the struggling group, followed by a shower of dust, the crash of falling houses, and, after a moment's deathly silence, the shrieks and wails of wounded men, women, and children. Sutton had just reached the corner of Corporation-lane, when he saw one of the Fenians—a man of the true Irish-Yankee type, with red hair, and that peculiarly American hirsute ornament on the chin, known as a " goatee "—running close alongside the prison wall and just turning the corner into Rosoman-street, to go in the direction of Cler kenwell-green. Sutton, having the same suspicion as his brother officers, at once started in pursuit, but just as ho reached the middle of Corporation-lane the explosion took place, and he was prostrated and partially stunned. Rising as rapidly as possible, he saw the Fenian, who had been protected by the south-west wall of the prison, turn ing the corner of a street in the distance, whence he was lost to view and effected his escape. There is some satis faction in knowing that this scoundrel, who seems to have been the most active agent in the outrage, is the man who was known as a suspicious character to the police, and whose appearance with his companions yesterday first excited the grave suspicions of the detectives. It is to be hoped, therefore, that very few hours will elapse before he is in custody. The way in which the explosion was brought about is pretty fully known. The wretches placed a barrel of gunpowder against the prison wall, lighted a fuse, and then ran—like cowards as they were. It is stated with confidence that more than one person witnessed the two men carrying the keg of powder from the corner of St. James's-passage to the opposite side of Corporation-lane, and place it there against the wall, and that another man was seen to place the lighted fuse at the top of it. The effect of such an explosion would be threefold. First, there would be the outward explosion, carrying everything away before it. In fact, it carried away a street and a half. Next would be the lateral explosion—the expansive destruction from side to side. The result of this was shewn in havoc and ruin for many hundreds of yards to the right and the left hand. Thirdly would come the recoil. It was this recoil which knocked a hole in the wall. The entire roadway in Corporation-lane was covered with bricks. It was all bricks. It seemed as though some mon strous volcano had suddenly emitted a shower of bricks. The house immediately facing the place where the barrel had been fired was blown clean out ; that is to say, where twenty-four hours ago stood a human habitation there was only now a hole. The report of the explosion was like the simultaneous roar of field-pieces and the rattle of musketry. In the midst of the smoke, now a sickly blue, partially cleared away, a perfect shower of glass could be seen, and floating —as if glass had lost its specific gravity—in such a fashion as paper torn into little atoms by children, and thrown from a window, is wont to do. But it, was when the smoke was lifted from the street that the worst result of the catastrophe could be realised., Out of sashless win dows were women suspended, supporting themselves by clinging to the window sills. From every window came screams for help ; and fine, strong mothers, who in the impulse of the moment appeared about to leap to the pavement, disappeared only to return with the child or the children they had in the love of life but momentarily for gotten. Tho dense smoke had been driven into the rooms, and half-stifled girls, boys, men, and women tried to make themselves heard by the few who were in the lane, for fear of danger had driven almost every one out of it. From a second floor a little girl screamed out, " Oh ! mother's killed mother's killed ;" and in the top window of the next house a strong man im plored some one to go up and help him " to save the children." Help was not long in coming, and dead, dying, maimed, and disfigured people were being carried from the houses. In most cases the poor little children appeared to be the greatest sufferers. Their mothers carried them bleeding through the streets, rushing frantically to wherever they thought a surgeon could be found. Other women fainted and lay upon the heaps of dirt until restored by the attentions of those around them. The report and coneu:sion of the air alarmed every one half a mile round, and within a radius of half that dis tance thelinhabitants appear as by one impulse to have rushed frantically into the streets. The poliOiNwere summoned to the spot by the admirable telegraph systen: in force between the various stations and Scotia:id-3mA', The first effect of the expi , sion was to clear the streets, the next to fill them. While fr iendly hands were removing those who had been injured,'.pthers were surveying the devastation. It soon, became apparent that the injury done to property was not confined to Corporation-lane, but extended' to Coburg-street, Rosoman-street, Wood bridge-street, Short's-buildings, Seckforde-street, Bt. James's-walk, Plumber-place, St. James's-buildings. In all these streets, and in the lanes abutting on them, the windows were broken, and the houses shaken as if by an earthquake. St. James's-buildings are a range of houses immediately behind Corporation-lane, and it suffered hardly less than the houses in the front. A vigorous search was now in progress among the ddbris. A bricklayer's labourer, named Brasney, observed a hand projecting from the ruins of the fallen house in front of him. At a great risk to his own life, he extricated in. succession an old woman, a man, and a young woma'r. The rooms of the houses had been cleared. Cabs wqre promptly procured, and the injured persons brougbkin them to St. Bartholomew's Hospital and the Royal Alree Hospital, Gray's-inn-road, while the children whose parents were injured were taken to the Clertenwell Workhouse. When every person was removed from the houses the condition of the latter could be better ascertr,tned. The sight was deplorable indeed. Not a windo*- - was to be seen in any of the ten or eleven houses, while there was not a trace of furniture to be found in anyvroi the rooms, as if it had been all swept clean away, oellad crumbled into dust. In some cases portions 44 f f . :ay-Aura lad, by force of the concussi on , b een s h o t ou t of 'slit back windows, but, generally speaking, it was only t0.:14e found in heaps. of atoms in corners of the rooms. No. Lt. in Corporation-lane was occupied 131 ,, , a Mrs. Harvey, who supported herself by a . toy shop. All her stock, furniture, clothes,, and other pro perty were destroyed. In No. ,2A Mr. Spiers kept a lodging-house, and here several children were much injured ; the house is gutted, And the furniture ruined. No. 3A was rented by a prison warder (Mr. Tinnock), and his wife and two children have been severely cut about the face. All his, property is lost. No. 1 comes next, and this is thk best house in Corporation lane. Mr. Jones, a vestryman of Clerkenwell, is owner, and occupied the premises. Mrs. Jones received serious injuries, but is stated not to be in any immediate danger. Seen from the street, the par lour of this house presented an extraordinary appearance. A very fine chimney-glass was shaken by the concussion off one of the nails which held it, and remained sus pended by the other at the side of the mantel-piece. A chair, which it is supposed had been standing at a window when tae explosion took place, was forced across the room and landed on top of a sideboard. In the kitchen the candles, which were being prepared for parlour or drawing-room, stood lighted on the kitchen table, not having been blown out, strange to say, by the concussion. InNo. 2 Mr. Moseley kept a lodging-house. His son, Charles Moseley, sustained a bad cut. The lane—St. James's-place—separates Mr. Jones's house from that of Mr. Moseley, and the latter house is opposite the spot where the barrel of gunpowder exploded ; consequently it suffered the greatest amount of violence,and is accordingly a complete wreck. The roof, floors, and side walls are gone. No. 3 is also terribly shattered. It was rented by a Mr. Thompson, a lodging-house keeper, and everything in it has been irreparably damaged. Mrs. Sampson occupied No. 4, which was her own property ; No. 5 was rented by Mr. Young, a telegraph case maker; and No. 6 was a lodging-house. The three houses are in a wrecked condition. Mr. Bennett's house, No. 7, where he carried on the business of a working jeweller, has not suffered very seriously ; but opposite to it, in No. 11, Mr. Waters has had a good deal of his furniture smashed, and all his windows broken. The houses in Corporation-lane were occupied chiefly by artificers and warders of the prison. The top front ro'm of one of these houses had been unoccupied for some time, but shortly before the explosion one of the warders of the prison called the attention of an officer of the prison named Moore to a circumstance which he considered sus picious. The room commanded a full view of the prison yard, and from its opened window was leaning a woman with a jug in her hand, and behind her were four or five men, all straining to be as near the window as they could, with the object apparently of seeing something that was taking place in the street below. It was five minutes after this circumstance that the explosion occurred. We have several accounts of the explosion by eye witnesses. One of them was anZintelligent little boy named John Abbott, 13 years of alt. who happened to be an eye-witness, and who now lies at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, but, happily, not much injured. The boy lived with his parents at 5, Corporation-lane, and we cannot, perhaps, do better than give his statement in his own words. About a quarter to four o'clock, he says, he vi as stand ing at Mr. Young's door, No. 5, when he saw a large barrel close to the wall of the prison, and a man leave the barrel and cross the road. Shortly afterwards the man returned with a long squib in each hand. One of these he gave to some boys who were playing in the street, and the other he thrust into the barrel. One of the boys was smoking, and he handed the man a light, which the man applied to the squib. The man stayed a short time until he saw the squib begin to burn, and then he ran away. A policeman ran after him, and when the policeman arrived opposite No. 5 " the thing went off." The boy saw no more after that, as he himself was covered with bricks and mortar. The man, he says, was dressed something like a gentleman. He had on a brown over coat and black hat, and had light hair and whiskers. Ho should know him again if he saw him. There was a white cloth over the barrel, which was black, and when the man returned the squib he partly uncovered the barrel, but did not wholly remove the cloth. There were several men and women in the street at the time, and children playing. Three little boys were standing near the barrel all the time. Some of the people ran after the man who lighted the squib. Mrs. Holder, a widow, living at 4, Corporation-lane, and now in St. Bartholomew's, says, about half-past three a man knocked at her door, and, upon her son answering, the man asked to be allowed to go the top storey of the house to be enabled to see his cousin and speak to him when -exercising in the yard of the House of Detention. His application was refused, and he went away. About ten minutes afterwards the explosion occurred. It is understood that her son will be able to identify the man. A little girl, who was an invalid, and had been removed from her bed to the window in one of the houses over looking the prison-yard, says she saw the cask, and thought it was treacle. She expressed herself to that effect to some person in the room, who simply said, " Nonsense." " But lam sure it's treacle, Polly," said the girl. On that she saw a man who was near the cask stoop down, and then the explosion occurred. A boy named Charles Young, who is much injured, and who is also in the hospital, is said to have been in the company of the men and woman who are implicated as the authors of the explosion. One of the residents of the locality stated that it was well known and talked about in the neighbourhood, even by some of the warders of the prison, the night before, that the authorities had an inti mation tha tan attack upon the prison was apprehended, and precautions were taken to have extra officers on night duty. One of the men in custody gives the name Timothy Desmond, and describes himself as 46 years of age, and a tailor by trade ; the other, Jeremiah Allen, is 36, and a bootmaker. The woman, whose name is Ann Justice, is about 30 years of age. Late at night she made a determined attempt to strangle herself in a cell in which she was confined is the House of Detention, but it was frustrated. She has been in the frequent habit of visiting the prisoner Casey while he has been confined there. She did so on the morning before the explosion. At two o'clock, after she had left the prison, one of the officers on duty outside the prison, inquired of Mr. Moore, one of the prison officials, her address, and at the same time made a communication to Mr. Moore, the effect of which was that he had seen her conversing with a fellow who had for days been hanging about the prison. The constable said it was impossible to get the man away, he persisting in staying about the place. Mr. Moore immediately spoke to the goiernor, Captain Codd, on the subject, and two or three officers were distributed about in order to give an alarm if anything occurred. Shortly afterwards one of the warders called Mr. Moore's attention to a man an swering the description given of the one who had been seen by the constable loitering about being on the top of a house overlooking the prison yard. When Mr. Moore got to the window at which the warder was watching, the man had vanished. But shortly afterwards the same man, ac cording to the description, was with the woman near the front gates of the prison, and presently they were joined by a second man, The_incident we have recorded above the iiiiiia looking ett on o , .14.30.", &Wir e d obaidr afterwards, and then the explailion; .: :: .-:- - . ....-0 tilt to It is understood that In Thu c ta t y:eir‘in r , it ' i i - .JI. , . , , r• .....e , , w ; Pownall, the chairman q the y InagiStraies,..in,96ll,„i sequence of informati* he had iede4ed, pft„.... 1 . 4 a the prison and directed the gove.rnor; tapt..;in Codd, not.; _to exercise the prisoners in the ordinary way yesterday; either as to time or place. The wall which has been blcrwn down enclosed a large open space in which the prisoners were accustomed to take exercise. The governor, there -1 fore, had them exercised between nine and ten yesterdr,3 r morning, instead of the usual time, which was between three and half - past four in the afternoon, and to this precaution it is probably owing that the i diabolical attempt of yesterday was unsuccessful. Tlie governor is also understood to have put himself in (-Om. munication with the police authorities, and they had undertaken to keep a large body of the force outside th,e' walls, perambulating the immediate neighbourhood of the prison. That, we believe, was not a special precaw,ifin, for it is said to have been observed during the time the man Groves was under remand on suspicion of being con, corned in the murder of the bandsman. Six warders fr , 4 the House of Correction were sent to the prison on TI u rs . day to act as a night-guard, but the governor, not %hi:II:- ins they were necessary, dispensed with their cervices, , and called in th e a id o f s i x o r e i g h t o f h is own warders r 4 an additional force during the night. Shortly before I;h e explosion the prisoner lturke appeared very excited l u n d went often to the window of his cell THE HOSPITALS. The occasion served to bring into strong light the culable value of such an institution as St. Barthoie./n ew t s Hospital on a great public calamity. The poor sufferers, many of them rendered homeless for the time, were conveyect thither with as little delay as possible, and many anxio-A relatives crowded its doors during the evening to J.Lar some tidings respecting them. According to Mr. 11'.dden, the senior surgeon on duty, the effect of the concu i isi on i n most cases had been to produce a severe shock to the ner vous system and great prostration. The chief injurie,' were about the head, including severe wounds, with frr,e, tured bones of the face in several instances. The hand s of a boy, about 11 years old, were so frightfully wounded that all his fingers except two, and both his thumtis, had to be removed. A woman, who had sustained a. severe fracture, was to all appearance on the point of death on" her admission, tutiirteralliest a little afterwards, and later in the evening her condition inspired hope. A girl ni.med Anne Cross, eight yo%rs old, had her left knee fererfully lacerated. She was on her way home with a jug of milk for which her mother had sent her, when she was injured by the explosion. In the course of the evening Mr. Foster White, the treasurer of St. Bartholomew's, forwarded a telegram to the Prince of Wales, the president of the hospit a l, i n . forming his Royal Highness of the preparations which had been made there for the reception and treatment of the sufferers. The dead at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, are William Clutton, a woman named Hutchinson (whose husband, 38, is in a very precarious state), and a female child named, Abbott, about eight years old. Her mother, Maria Abbott, is also a patient. The following are the in-patients :—John Abbott, 1.), No. 5, Corporation-lane ; two children, Charles and Martha Perry, 4 and 5 years respectively; Caleb Beckett, 28 ; John Harvey, 48 ; William Abbott, 11; William Kitchener, 55 ; John Walker and Thomas Wheeler ; Thomas Hutchinson, 38; Anne Cross, 8 ; Maria Giles, 39; Margaret Moseley; Sarah Hartley, 41 ; Thomas Hartley, 8 ; and two other boys named Hartley, all of the same family; Harriet Thompson; a baby (unclaimed); Elizabeth Williams, Elizabeth Holder, 56 ; Elizabeth Hodgkinsoni' Maria Abbott, and a child not known ; Elizabeth Thorap: son, Mary Ann Chittlebird, Anna Maria Abbott, another Elizabeth Thompson, 48 ; Mary Ann Miles (old), Martha Evans, 67 ; and Mary Ann Young. At the Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-road, are—Anna Maria Thompson, 4 ; Anna Roberts, 30 ; Arthur Abbott, 4, and Minnie Abbott, 4 ; Humphrey Evans, 66 ; and a boy 2i years old, calling himself Tommy. One of the BiZ was not expected to live. INCIDENTS OF THE EXPLOSION, A Mr. Clutton, a tradesman in Leather-lane, at the time of the explosion was in his stable in Davies-street attending to his horse, when he was struck dead on the spot. On being examined his left breast bore the appear. ance of having been completely smashed in. Mr. Terry, builder, residing at the house next but ono to his premises, was sitting in his counting-house reading, when he was thrown violently from his chair to the ground, the chair itself being shivered in pieces. Mr. Terry fortunately escaped with a few bruises. A tradesman in Woodbridge-street states that be was passing Corporation-lane at a few minutes to four o'clock, when he saw a man drawing a truck apparently heavily loaded, and accompanied by two other men and a woman. On their arriving opposite the wall of the prison which encloses the exercising-ground of the prisoners, and into which they are usually brought at four o'clock, the truck was stopped and the_ two men lifted out of it a, barrel, which they placed on the pavement alongside the prison wall. The woman in their company immediately' stooped down, and at that moment, it is supposed, applied a fuse to the contents of the barrel, the whole four imme• diately taking to their heels, and the explosion took place in a few seconds, with the results already described. Some marvellous escapes are recorded. Mr. Frederick Belcher, wholesale news-agent,writes :—" My boy, Frede rick Dimmock, was out leaving some parcels of news-- papers. When on his way to Clerkenwell-grP.n, and within a few yards of the wall of the House of Deten. tion, be saw a man with a light coat on go to a barrel,' which was covered over with A tarpauling, and set light to it. After doing so the man immediately ran up at narrow passage opposite, joined by another man, who was on the other side of the way from the prison. Boy-like, he went to look at the barrel, and it immediately exploded, covering him in a ♦olume of smoke and sparks and broken glass blown from windows, blowing his cap from off his head, and the papers from under his arm. How he escaped unhurt, being within a yard or two of the barrel, I cannot ` understand. He arrived at my place of business as black as a nigger, with the loss of his cap and papers, a littlo confused, but I am happy to state nothing further the matter with him." At eleven o'clock at night the House of Detention was; visited by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor. His lordship, had some difficulty in obtaining permiszion to pass the line of Flee, and it was only upon the representation of one or two gentlemen present who recognised him that ho, was allowed to go by. While he was standing there. A man amongst the crowd attempted to steal his lordship's watch. At nearly the same instant a gentleman near him found a fellow's hand busy in his great coat pocket. He was seized_ in the act of rifling it, and was arrested by a constable. As the gentleman declined to prosecute him, the police.. max administered Lynch-law, and gave the thief a pum. nulling and shaking which he will not soon forget. So zealously was the prison guarded that the Lord Mayor found considerable difficulty in obtaining entrance, and was treated with a want of courtesy seldom shown by City officials. In consequence of the desperate attack on the House of Detention, the other prisons were watched with special care. Dr. Langford, a well-known medical practitioner in the neighbourhood, was proceeding in his brougham down Rosoman-street at the time of the explosion, and his coachman, who was driving, said he thought he had been, shot at. CONVICTION FOR STABBING A WARDER.—Williatil Moss, 33, labourer, was brought up at the Liverpool As: on Thursday, on a charge of stabbing a warder in Walton Gaol. Prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to five years' penal servitude. A MAN DANGEROUSLY BITTEN BY A BOAR.--.' A well-to-do farmer, named Thomas Davis, of Dagan more, near Kells, county Kilkenny, was a few days ago in the act of turning a boar out of his yard, when the fero cious brute suddenly wheeled round, and, before the unfor tunate man was able to make any defence, seized him by the abdomen and thigh. Providentially a neighbour hair' pened to be on the spot, who dealt the animal a swinging blow on the head with a pitchfork, which had the desired . effect. A messenger was immediately despatched for Dr. Phelan, who, on examining the wound, found the bowels' protruding, a principal artery almost severed, and others severely injured. All that medical skill could devise was promptly performed, and though the doctor reserves his opinion for some days, a sanguine hope is entertained that the poor man may ultimately recover. AN UGLY Cur.—Last week there came among the out-patients at the Charing-cross Hospital, a man whose haniZ was cut so deeply that the muscles at the ball of the thumb were completely severed. The cut, com mencing at the middle of the palm in front, ran round the ball of the thumb to the back of the hand. He gave an . account which still further sheivs, if any a dditional evil; deuce were needed, that ruffianism in our streets is assum ing a worse and more savage aspect. The man hi question was looking on at the burning of Her Majesty's Theatre, when he discovered a thief possessing himself of his watch. Ho seized him at once, but the rascal drew a knife, which he appeared to have ready for emergencies, and, without , a moment's hesitation, endeavour e d t o sever th e fl exor, tendons at the wrist. Indeed, he inflicted a slight wound at this part ; but a brisk movement saved further damagg than that detailed. We are sorry to.add that the robbe !soaped with the watch and some {Money,---4iiiig.t.
