Those who have hitherto persisted, in spite of warning, in declaring that the Fenian movement or agitation was not so extensive as it was reported to be have had a contradiction which they will not easily forget. A scene of almost unparalleled ex citement and confusion took place yesterday in the neighbourhood of Clerkenwell. No blame can at tach to any one, for the daring and the cunning of the attempt were quite beyond calculation. In formation had been received in the morning by the police authorities to the effect that an attempt at rescue would be made on behalf of the Fenian prisoners then in custody at the House of Deten tion. Detectives were, in consequence, placed in the streets adjoining the prisons ; but, although the miscreants who succeeded in perpetrating the out rage were actually observed, no effort was made to stop them, because they were to all appearances engaged in the ordinary traffic of business. Look ing at the subject as we do now is, of course, very different to being mixed up in the affair at the time, because so much may be effected in a moment, and cause such serious consequences, as it takes long to realise and to get over. Some persons— three men and a woman according to some ac counts—were seen to wheel a barrel into Corpora tion-lane, and they stopped outside the prison wall, where some say a fuse was inserted into the hole where the bung had been, and immediately a most terrific explosion took place. It is impos sible to exaggerate the fearful scene, for it almost surpasses description in its suddenness and horror. Such was the shock that the wall of the prison was blown down, and the effect was felt at a great dis tance. The most deplorable result of the mur derous attempt was in Corporation-lane, which was chiefly tenanted by women and children at that hour, and when the persons in the neighbourhood rushed to the scene of actio❑ they were met by most dreadful sights. it is difficult to say how many lives have succumbed to this dastardly attempt, but at any rate the number threatens to be a considerable one. Meanwhile, we know that there is a long list of sufferers in the hospitals, besides those whose property has been destroyed. The most deplorable feature in the case has been the destruction of little children, who have been frightfully mangled and injured. As for those unhappy victims they must not be neglected, and, indeed, we have no fear that sufficient efforts will not be made to repair, so far as money can do, the misfortunes they have so undeservedly met with. As for the perpetrators of this outrage their cunning would have over-reached themselves had their immediate object been gained, for if the prisoners had been at the time of the explosion in the. usual yard for exercise they would have been the first victims of the calamity themselves. The chief thing that attracts notice is the cruel spirit so manifestly displayed in these Fenian outr ages ; it in deed almost surpasses belief in these more moderate days in which we live. At any rate, whatever be the cause of this vindictive course of action, the Executive will have to meet it and deal with it in the proper spirit, and neither be too severe nor too lenient. By this time, through the length and breadth of the land, there will be one common opinion as to Fenianism, and the indignation felt will need no efforts of description to do it justice. The only way to avenge for the reckless and vindictive line of action thus taken, is to suppose that the object of the leaders of the Fenian conspiracy is to inspire fear and spread consternation among the commu nity, and those who obey their mandates display a zeal and ingenuity worthy of a better cause. As to their daring outrages being successful beyond the moment that is quite out of the question ; but what we have to do with is the prevention of any more of their attempts, and the punishment of those who have committed themselves to so fearful an extent in the prosecution of their mad designs. As to Fenianism itself honest men of all shades of political opinion, of every sect and creed, can feel but contempt and abhorrence for it, and all heroism or patriotism, or whatever other name it was called by by its advocates, has been sufficiently dis pelled in the barbarity of an attempt which spared neither sex nor age, and confounded in the sacrifice all who might happen to be in the vicinity, no matter how little they had to do with the matter in dispute. With the spectacle of this, the crowning effort of Fenian outrages before us, it is enough to declare that justice must take its course, and that all hope of leniency being any longer extended to those who follow such a coursa is over. Thu majesty of English law must not allow these reite , rated attempts to rescue prisoners who have !been found guilty of a breach of the peace. The safety of the community imperatively calls for the adoption of the sternest means of repression that can be employed with consistency. Hastiness' of thought or action will not be in keeping with the treatment of so great a crime, and let all be as calm as they can in the consideration of the matter, in order that the restraining influence of public opinion may be exercised in the fullest and most fitting manner—a manner which can alone avail to serve the desired end, and gain the object which ought alone to be held in view--the prevention for the future of such deeds of violence as those which have recently startled the public, deeds for ever branding Lilo name of Ferianim with rerronh and infamy. ME authorities at Dublin Castle have at length taken measures to suppress those funeral proces sions which appeared to be spreading through the sister island with the rapidity of an epidemic. A proclamation under the hand of the Marquis of ABERCORN, and countersigned by the Arch bishop of DUBLIN, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the IRISH CHIEF SECRETARY, the COMMANDER• IN-CIIIEF, Judges KEATINOE and KEOGH, the MASTER of the ROLLS, the VICE - CLEAN' CELLOR, and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, has been issued, forbidding the processions advertised for to-morrow in the city of Kilkenny and the town of Killarney. These were the only places so " proclaimed " up to Thursday night, but as such proclamations can be applied to any town in which similar gatherings have been announced, there can be little doubt that the LORD-LIEUTENANT and h's Privy Council will not hesitate to multiply them as circumstances may require. The text of the interdict sets forth that placards of the intended meeting have been circulated, stfaing that it is to take place "in honour of " certain men lately executed at Manchester for " the crime of murder," and calling upon Irishmen to assemble in thousands for the said procession. It goes on to shew that gatherings of a similar character have already taken place in different parts of the United Kingdom, at some of which, and par ticularly at that which was held in Dublin, " lan " gunge of a seditious and inflammatory character " was used, calculated to excite discontent and " disaffection in the minds of her MAJESTY'S sub " jects, to create and animosity amongst " them, and to bring into hatred and contempt " the Government and Constitution of the " country." Therefore, "as such meeting, proces " sion, and object arc not legal or constitutional, " are calculated to bring the Government into " hatred and contempt, and to impede the " administration of justice by intimidation " and the demonstration of physical force," it has been thought advisable to prevent them, as they would " only tend to serve the ends of factious, " seditious, and traitorous persons, and violate the " public peace." If the tendency of such meetings is, as the pro clamation asserts, to subvert the Constitution, to stir up disaffection, and to keep alive the spirit of sedition, few will be inclined to blame the Irish Executive for having endeavoured to put a stop to them. As long as the processionists confined themselves to legitimate objects, pointed out what they wanted in the way of redressing grievances, and made out a case for the extension of political privileges, these gatherings were clearly, as the PREMIER and the CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND lately declared, " within the law." But when treason is openly talked to a sensitive antl excitable people, it may become impossible for those who are responsible for the preserva- tion of law and order to look calmly on, and to make no efforts to maintain the public peace. The Government construed the Party Processions Act as liberally as it could possibly do, and the abuse of the leniency displayed in not interfering with the processions in Dublin, Cork, and Limerick is a sufficient justification for the prohibition of the intended gatherings at Kilkenny, Killarney, and e :ise where. LATEST INTELL fGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA. NEW YORK, Dec. 13, 6 p.m. The steamers Atlantic and Fulton have arrived. THE Sti, LONOOB, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 14, 1867. THE EXAMINATION OP THE FENIANS COLONEL BURKE AND CASEY, BOW STREET-THIS DAY. It was fully expected by the authorities that a great demonstration would be made this morning in Bowestreet, consequent upon the desperate at tempt made last night to rescue Burke and Casey from the House of Detention, and, accordingly, the greatest precautions were taken to meet any emer gency that might arise. A strong body Of police were in reserve in the station-house opposite the police court, and the entrance thereto and the lobbies within were well guarded by a great number of constables. The crowd assembled in Bow-street, however, in the early part of the morning was not near so great as had been expected ; and those who had taken up their position in the expectation of seeing the prisoners as they arrived were disap pointed, as both Burke and Casey were removed from the House of Detention and lodged safely in the cells attached to the Court at a much earlier hour than was expected. At 10 minutes to 12 Burke and Casey were again placed before Sir T. Henry on a charge of treason felony, Mr. Gifford and Mr. Poland attending on the part of the Crown, and Dr. Kenealy appeared, it was supposed, to defend the prisoners. Upon the prisoners, Richard Burke and Joseph Theobald Casey being placed at the bar, Dr. Kenealy said that before the case was gone into any further, he must ask leave to make a state ment of the reasons why he felt bound at this stage to withdraw from the position of counsel for the de fence. When originally instructed the case pre sented itself to him under features that gave him great reluctance to appear, but he was so earnestly solicited by the prisoners' friends that he consented to do so, believing that when so solicited counsel ought not to refuse to accused persons the best as sistance in their power to give. And therefore though his sympathies were entirely opposed to those of the persons who were supposed to be favourable to the prisoners, yet he consented to undertake their defence, and would have fought it out to the end, doing his best for the prisoners, with the utmost impartiality he could exer cise as to difference of views. But the dreadful proceedings of last night had so influ enced his mind that he could not bring to the case that attention which a counsel ought to devote to the cause of his clients. When a party in a cause, or his friends, retain counsel, there is at least a pas sive understanding that the law is to regulate their conduct, and that all proceedings are to be con ducted under the sacred arbitrament of justice, and in its poly temple; and if that compact is broken counsel have no right to appear. He did not in tend to impute that the prisoners had any complicity in the crime of last night, but ho could not disguise from himself that those who instructed him might be probably supposed to sympathise with that outrage, and that it was their duty to satisfy him that they at least were not concerned in that act. As they had not done so he must commit the de fence of the prisoners to other hands. If (added the learned Doctor) the prisoners will have counsel, they must not have recourse to violence. If violence is used, they cannot have me, at least for their counsel. Before retiring from the court, he thought it incumbent on him to say that, notwithstanding the misrepresentations which had gone abroad, nothing could exceed the fairness with which the proceedings had been conducted by the solicitor and counsel for the Crown, and the readiness which had been shown to afford all documents and information which were necessary for the defence, even when of such a nature that the Crown were not bound to supply. them. Mr. Norton was about to address the court, but Sir Thomas Henry said he had understood Dr. Kenealy to speak for Mr. Norton as well as for himself, and he must say that the sentiments ex pressed by the learned doctor did him great credit. The prisoner Burke regretted deeply that such an occurrence should have taken place, as it seemed to brand him as a criminal before the court. Sir Thomas Henry said he understood that was disclaimed. Burke went on to say that he was deeply grateful for the kindness and consideration he had hitherto received from his legal advisers, who he felt bound to say had acted without even a retaining fee, nor had he any complaints to make of the prosecution. But he must protest against any imputation that any part of the responsibility of what occurred yes terday or any previous day should rest on his shoulders. lie had his own character to vindi cate, and he intended to do so solely by lawful means, and not by any other method that could bring on him humiliation or injury, or leave him unprotected as he stood now. Thanking the learned counsel for what he had done for him 30 far, and the Crown for kindness and courtesy, he should, as one wholly ignorant of law, endeavour to obtain the best assistance he could for the future. Mr. Giffard had no objection to au adjournment if the prisoner desired it. Sir T. Henry said the prisoner had not applied for it himself, nor would he be prejudiced by the examination of witnesses, which could be read over to his counsel hereafter. William Day said—l carry on business at Cherry street, Birmingham. On the 19th of Dcc., 1865, I saw the prisoner Burke at my office. I had the letting of the premises, 64, George-street, Parade, Birmingham. lle said he was desirous of taking them, and I asked him for what purpose. lle said he represented a mercantile house in New York, asid that ho wished to open the premises as a branch house. He said ho had a branch in Paris, Manchester, and Liverpool, and I be lieve he said his business was the purchasing Bir mingham goods and forwarding them to America. I asked him for a reference as to his respectability, to which he replied he could not give me a reference to Birmingham, as he was a stranger, but that he could give me plenty in Mancheste r , Pads, or Liverpool. Ile did not, in fact, give me any re ference, AS I told him thoseheproposed would not be of use to him, and he should therefore agree to pay the rent in advance. To that he readily con sented, and paid mo a quarter in advance, and gave me the name of Charles Edward Winslow. A memorandum of au agreement was prepared, which I now proluce. It is signed by my partner. I afterwards saw the prisoner Burke on the premises, and after that several other per sons go in and out. 'When possession was given I went over the premises with Winslow at the time. There were neither bottles, jars, nor carboys on the premises. Burke—Speak out, if you please. Witness continued—l had a new door made to the premises on the ground floor by the rcque3t of the prisoner, so as to allow, him, as he said, to get_ his casks in and out, and I consented to do so. I received in all two quarters rent in advance, in December and in March. I received a letter from the prisoner in November, 1866, but it was not dated on the day it was written. The letter was read—it was one of apology for not requiring the premises. After that, and although the premises were never formally given up, we found the doors open in the month of December, and accordingly took posses sion. After that I went over the premises in com pany with Inspector Manton, of the Birmingham police. I then found a carboy in one of the upper rooms filled with a liquid which smelt like petroleum. In consequence of what I had heard I became suspicious of tilt liquid, and I afterwards asked Inspector Manton to remove it. I also found that one of the rooms of the first floor had bee n marked out as a target, and it was perforated with bullet holes. The size of the room, the door of which I am now speaking, would be about 30 feet by 12. Sir T. Henry, to the Prisoners—You can now either of you ask the witness any question you think fit.- Burke—l should like to ask one or two questions now, leaving the cross-examination in full to be taken when Ilhave succeeded in obtaining legal advice. Sir T. Henry—You can do that if you think fit. Witness, in answer to questions then put to him by Burke, said—The premises, before you occupied them, were in the possession of a wood-turner.

There is also a crack in the wall on the other side of the pier, and it is clear that a good deal of the foundation on both sides of the work is seriously injured. The south pier has also boon very much injured, but not to the extent of a portion of the north pier. Tho engineers aro preparing a report, which they will present to the River Tyne Com missioners.

I did not go into the cellars on that occasion, as they were very dark. The inspector of polico was not with me then. I went over the premises frequently after I had taken pos session, but when I first entered the premises after you had quitted them I saw the carboy I have spoken about. It is now in the possession of the Birmingham police. Burke—Could the contents of the carboy have been used by the previous occupiers of the house in their business? Witness—l don't know. I should say, however, we were not agents for the premises at the time. Burke—Your Honour, I will defer further cross examination until I have procured counsel. The witness, of course, will be in attendance on the next examination. Sir T. llcury—Yes, certainly. Ferdinand Fredrici--I live at No. 9, North crescent, Bedford-Equare. On the 28th of Jan., in the present year, two persons came to lodge at my house. They occupied two rooms on the se cond floor. The two persons went by the name of Coleman and Fletcher. The rooms had been en gaged for them previously by another person. Fletcher remained a fortnight, and the other five weeks and a half. Whilst they remained at my house some persons came every day to see them. I afterwards went to Dublin. I there saw the person whom I knew as Fletcher. It was General Halpin. I was present at his trial when he was convicted. I be lieve him to be the person who lived in my house in the name of Fletcher. Whilst the person lam speaking of remained with me I had a servant named Emma Leyton. She would open the door to all visitors. Coleman always paid the rent. Sir T. Henry—Do you wish to ask the witness any questions ? Burke—l think it will be judicious in me not to invade, the province of my counsel, so I will defer all further cross-examination of the witnesses. Eliza Coppins—l live at 65, Norfolk-terrace, Bayswater. In the January of the present year I was living at 107, Great Portland-street, with my father, brother, and sister. My father rented the house. In January of the present year I re member a man coming to live there in the name of Farioli. He occupied th 2 parlours. Whilst Farioli lived there, another man used to come to the house, who also gave the name of Farioli. I saw that person in Dublin. In Court he pleaded guilty as General Farioli. Farioli used to visit the other person in Great Portland-street every morning, and remained until about six in the evening. They generally appeared to be engaged in writing all day. Whilst the two persons I have spoken of remained in Great Portland-street they were visited by other persons. Mr. Poland—Call Massey into court. On Massey making his appearance the wit ness at once identified him as one of the ♦isitors to Farioli. She further went on to say the other man was a tall, fair person. I used to open the door to all visitors. They never gave any name when they came, but always walked straight into the parlour. I never recollect any other persons calling upon Farioli but Massey and the tall, fair man. When Farioli and his friend went out they always locked the door and carried away the key. Mrs. Ann Lambert—l reside at 51, St. Anne's street, Liverpool. In Sept., 1866, I kept a commer cial hotel, 40-42, Lord Nelson-street, Liverpool. I recollect Inspector Home and Major Gregg coming to search the house. Previous to that I believe a person like Burke lodged there. I cannot swear it is the same person. If it is, he is much altered. Mr. Giffard—You are not asked to swear. Have you any belief that either of the persons lodged with you ? Witness—l cannot say. Mr. Giffard—Pray, madam, be careful. Have you not told Mr. Poland that you believed the pris)ner Burke to be the man ? Witness—No, I've not. Mr. Giffard—What? have you not slid you be lieved him to be the man. I must have an answer to the question. lam afraid you know you are not answering it, - What is your belief ? Witness--I said to the gentlemen you point to (Mr. Poland of the Treasury), that I thought it was the man, but I could not say for certain. The person I was speaking of t gave the name of Winslow. Mr. Giffard—Have you never told Constable Clark that you were certain the prisoner was the man ? Witness—No, I have not. Mr. Giffard—Pray, be careful. Have you seen a person here named Corydon, and shaken hands with him ? Witness—Yes ; but I've not shaken hands with him. Mr. Giffard—Have you never seen Corydon and the prisoner Burke together ? . . _ Witness—l cannot say for certain that I have. The witness then went on with her evidence in chief. She said—l recollect some haversacks being found in our house. I knew a person named Deasy; he lodged at the house at the time, and also another man named Thomas Burke. A person named O'Brien lodged in the house also at the period I am now speaking of, and also a Dr. Beadier. His luggage was in the room occupied by Winslow. By the prisoner Burke—l kept the hotel for 12 months. It is nothing unusual for persons of the n tme of Deasy, O'Brien, and Burke to lodge at my house. All the lodgers invariably partook of the meals at one table in my house, as I had but one dining-room. Mr. Miles Lambert—l am the husband of the last witness, and at one time kept a commercial hotel at Liverpool. I recollect a person named Winslow using the house in 186 G. The prisoner Burke is the person. I don't take the active manage ment of the house, so I cannot speak so positively as to all persons who sleep in the house, as I carry an another business in the town. I recollect the police searching the Lord IN elsou, and finding the haversacks. The prisoner was at the Lord Nelson one or two days before that time. At this time I saw Timothy Deasy, Thomas O'Brien, and O'Connor at the Lord Nelson. But I don't know Corydon. Mr. Giffard—But didn't you shake hands with him this morning in this court? Witness-1 don't know him for all that. Corydon said he knew me, and with that I shook hands with him. I did not see Winslow when he left the Lord Nelson for the docks. William Horne—l am an inspector of the Liver pool police. On the 12th of September last year I went to the Lord Nelson Hotel at Liverpool. Major Gregg, the chief of the police, was there also. We went armed with a warrant to search the house of Miles Lambert. On going into a room on the third floor I found 23 haversacks ; they were lying loose underneath the table. I have seen the prisoner Burke, or, as I know him, Winslow, on several oc casions iu Liverpool, and also at Lambert's last year, before the search. Burke—Will you swear that you have seen me at Lambert's? Witness—No ; but, speaking to the best of my belief, I have seen you there prior to the search. Burke—Do you know how I was dressed? Witness--No, I do not. Burke—Do you recognise me by my features? Witness—Yes ; you might have been a little stouter then than now, but I recognise you princi pally by the features. Burke—Then I am not much changed ? Witness—No, beyond being somewhat thinner. You wore a moustache and whiskers at the time I am speaking. Emma Leyton—ln January of the present year I was servant to Mr. Fredrici. I recollect two per sons coining to lodge in the house of the names of Coleman and Fletcher. They occupied two rooms on the second floor. I used to attend on them. Fletcher remained about 14 days, and Coleman six weeks. I don't know tbs names of the persons who visited them. I was present at the trial of General Halpin. lie was the person whom I knew as Flet cher. I recollect Massey coming to my mother's house on Sunday morning. At that time I think Fletcher had left, but Coleman was still stopping at the house. In Dublin a person was pointed out to mo as Farioli. I saw him both in court and in prison. I was in court when he pleaded guilty. He used to come to see Mr. Coleman every day, but some times he used to come twice a day. I recollect a number of per sons meeting at my master's house on Sunday night. There were about 7or 8 present. I think it would be about the second Sunday after they came to live there, which was at the end of January of the present year. I went into the room in which the persons wero assembled, but I did not know any of them but Mr. Coleman. I went in to ask if they wanted any more candle. It was 10 o'clock when I went upstairs, so 1 cannot say at what time they left. By the prisoner Burke—l did not let in all the people who came that night. Mr. Fredrici opened the door to some of them. I don't recollect ever seeing you call at the house. Neither were you at the meeting I have spoken of. Mr. Poland said that was as far as he proposed going on that occasion, and therefore he had to ask for another remand, on which day he should be pre pared with further material evidence. Sir T. Henry then remanded the prisoners for a week. Previous to Casey leaving the dock, addressing the magistrate, he said—l must ask leave to declare here my entire abhorrence of the crime that was committed yesterday. I cannot find words to ex press what I feel—my horror that such a crime should be committed by any persons whatever. The Fenian Outrage in Clerkenwell. LATEST DETAILS. This morning at an early hour a large number of persons congregated round the precincts of Clerken well Police-court, under the idea that the three prisoners last night arrested on the suspicion of being concerned in the diabolical attempt on the House of Detention would have been brought up for examination. They were, however, dis appointed, as they will be brought before Sir Thomas Henry this afternoon at Bow-street. The woman who, during the night, attempted suicide is, thanks to professional skill, now sufficiently re covered to appear before the magistrate. On inquiries made this morning at the St. Bar tholomew's Hospital and the Royal Free Hospital, it appears that no further deaths have occurred, and that the majority of the sufferers are slightly im proving. Great misery and destitution, however, has been inflicted upon the dwellers in the immediate vicinity of the explosion, and those who are not ousted from their wretched domiciles or sustained bodily injuries, suffer from almost every pane of glass in their tene ments being shattered. One publican, a consider able distance from the spot, has his plate glass completely smashed. A curious fact is that of the policeman who pursued the person who set light to the train ; so great was the force of the explo sion that it tore his great coat completely from his shoulders, besides stunning him. OFFICIAL REPORT OF DAMAGES. Captain Shaw, the chief of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, in making his return to the Board of Works, merely describes that the engines and fire men were called out owing to an alarm being raised by an explosion at the outside of the House of Detention at Clerkenwell. He enumerates none of the houses injured, but the following losses have been officially returned by Mr. R. W. Ousfield, surveyor to the Royal, and Mr. White, the assessor to the County Fire Offices:— CORPORATION-LANE. No. 1. Mr. Jones, retired tradesman ; premises seriously damaged, and furniture fur the most part destroyed by the force of explosion. Ditto ditto, Mr. Caper, warder at the House of Detention, fur niture destroyed. No. 1. Mr. Harvey, confectioner ; premises and colitents partially destroyed. No. 2. Mr. Tibbey, French polisher ; similar dam age. Ditto ditto, let out in tenements ; furniture destroyed. No. 2. Mr. Tinnock, warder in the House of Detention. The lower part of building much shaken, the furniture severely injured by explosion. Ditto ditto, let out in tenements; furniture destroyed, and window; with roof, seriously damaged by explo sion. No. 4. Mr. Green and other occupants. House completely gutted ; front and side most seriously damaged by explosion; no fire. No. 3A—Let out in tenements; furniture de stroyed and building partially destroyed. Some persons are missing from the house. Ditto--Mr. Thompson, furniture destroyed and premises greatly damaged. Some of the inmates severely injured and removed to the hospital. No. 5--Mr. Young, packing-case maker. House much shattered and contents partially destroyed. No. 6—Let out in tenements ; similar damage. No. 7—Mr. Bennett, watchmaker and jeweller. Premises and contents slightly damaged by explo sion and dirt. No. 11—Mr. Waters. The whole of the furni ture is broken, and the windows with the roof destroyed. The Bell Tavern, the Red Lion, the Skinners' Arms, and the John of Jerusalem taverns have the large pendent lamps outside the buildings blown to atoms; the plate glass in bar windows and also in the upper part of each building demolished, and the stock in bottles greatly damaged bsbreakage. IVoodbridge-street, Sackford-street, St. John's lane, and other bye lanes, have similarly suffered to the number of about 20. Upon inquiring at Clerkenwell workhouse this morning we were informed that the sufferers were going on most favourably, that those in the Royal Free Hospital remain in a very precarious state. At St. Bartholomew's Hospital no other death had taken place, but one or two of the patients remain as it were between life and death. Immense crowds of persons continue to flock from all parts of the metropolis to visit the ruins, but so strong is the body of police kept on duty that no one is allowed to pass the barriers. This precau tionary measure is the more necessary as it is feared that some of the walls adjoining the house blown down will also topple and fall. The remains of the massive prison wall which has been hurled into the exercising ground has not yet been removed,-so that it still remains questionable whether any other persons who are missing are buried beneath the brickwork. A great question now arises between the sufferers and the insurance offices as to whether the latter are liable for the mischief done. The Plate Glass Insurance Com pany, of course, are liable, but some of the old fire offices expressly state that the company will no hold itself liable to make good any damage done by explosion or from the invasion of a foreign enemy • Other offices, however, never quibble when a fire takes place or damage is done by an explosion.

THE ABYSSINIAN SESSION.—ParIittrUCTIt has finished its work, and will not reassemble till the 6th or 13th February. It has been sitting 17 day's, during which it has voted two millions for the Abyssinian War, accepted a heavy contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany, conciliated London costermongers, assuaged the ire of London cabmen, heard two bad speeches on educ tion, listened to Lord Stanley's objections to a Conference, and chatted a little about Dr. Beke's personal character. I has never been atiended by 200 members, and those 200 have devoted themselves sedulously to visiting, gossip, and private affairs. No subject of national importance has been fully or even freely discussed, no great speech has been made, and nobody, except the costormonger, is one whit the wiser, the better, or the happier for the ad interim session. -- Spectator.
