This day the Desmonds, English, Allen, O'Keefe, Barrett, O'Niel, and Ann Justice were again placed at the bar before Sir T. Henry on a charge of wilful murder. The interest, judging from the number of persons on the bench, seemed much to increase. Mr. Giffard and Mr. Poland appeared for the Crown to prosecute; the prisoners were defended as on the last occasion. Mr. Giffard said the first witness he had to call would be Patrick Mullany, who said—l am desirous of being examined -as a witness for the Crown. I have been for some time a member of the Fenian Brother hood, the object of which was to establish a republic in Ireland, and to overthrow English rule in that country. I occupied the position of a centre. I was sworn in as such on the 9ch March last in the Tem perance Hall, Pollen-street. I was sworn in by a man named James Kelly, but not of one known as Col. Kelly. I was afterwards introduced to the American officers by the prisoner English. The names of the American officers I was introduced to were Gen. Halpin, Col. Healey, Gen. Burke (now a convict convicted in Ireland), Dr. Morrison, and some more that I cannot recollect the names of. I now remember another, Captain M'Cafferty. English introduced me to him, and he said that I was a decent fellow. We all then talked about the rising in Ireland. Some time before the 13th of December last I had been short of work in consequence of my men striking against me. I re collect the latter end of November a bag being left at my house. English afterwards took the bag away. It contained revolvers. Mr. Lewis—Did you see them ? Witness—Yes. I did not count them. There .were also some powder and caps in it. I think the bag was taken away a day or two before the ex plosion, or the day on which it occurred—l cannot be sure which. I recollect of a meeting being held in the neighbourhood of Hol born, somewhere near Little Queen -street. Bar rett was present at that meeting. lam not sure that William Desmond attended, but I know Eng lish was not there. This was about a week before the explosion. The subject of the discussion at the meeting was the raising of money to carry out the object we had in view. One man said, " We'll soon get money, no matter how," and some of the other men volunteered to get a pound, some 18s., some 103. Arms were to be bought with the money, and we were to meet at the American Stores, Oxford-street, and report as to how matters were getting on. We could not finally settle there, and English said he could get us a house in Castle Market. Sir T. Henry—Where is that ? Witness—Oxford -street. I now remember the house was at a place called Oxford Market. Examination continued—We could not settle there, and English said we must find another house. At that meeting, however, one man said he had got 251bs. of gunpowder. There was some sort of a quarrel with one of the men, whose name I can mention. Mr. Giffard—Don't do that yet. Witness continued.—There was another meeting, at which William Desmond, Barrett, and English attended. I also saw a man who was very pale in the face ; he had a hole in his two coats, waistcoa and shirt near the shoulder. I knew this man Bar rett as Jackson; he had a revolver in his hand which belonged to English ; it was a breech-loader. They began discussing the merits of the weapon, and they said it was no . good. There were five or six more re volvers in the room, but I cannot say to whom they belonged. I saw a cavalry pistol loaded in the room and given to a man. A man had got a barrel, another was to get a tin dish to put at the end of the bartel, to carry the light to the fusee at the top. A truck was asked for, and one of the men present said that could be got from a man named Maddox. A man was sent to look out for the truck, and he returned shortly after, saying, " All was right." I knew where he had to go for the truck, and the mau was about the right time to go there. We were then to meet next day, Thursday, at William Des mond's house. I hoard from Barrett that he had been up at the Hoase of Detention a couple of days before that to look at the place. I saw Jackson and another man on the Thursday, when he told me 4 ‘ it" had failed, but that it was to bo tried again the next day. I next saw Jackson on the night on which the ex plosion took place. He had his waistcoat off, and another man's coat on. I chaffed him about his whiskers. He told me he had taken them off, and that it was he who lit the fusee. Mr. Lewis—Repeat that. Witness—He told me he had lit the fusee, and that he would be identified if ho kept them on. I asked him who was with him, and he told me. At the time I was speaking with Jackson no per son was with him, but I afterwards saw a man with his ear bleeding in my shop. Jackson (Barrett) told me he was going away that evening, bet that I should hear from him. I heard from Jackson, before the explosion, that he had been down to the court during the examination of a man named Burke. He said he had two revolvers with him in order to seek out Corydon and shoot him. He, however, told me he was going down to Scot land-yard the next day, as he could not do it at Bow-street, as he could not get at him. He again expressed his intention of shooting Corydon. I know something about Greek fire from conversa tion with English. English said he had had Greek fire on two occasions ; the first was about 12 months ago. 1 knew a man had been mixing Greek fire in English's house. English showed me the operation and told me to take some of it home. I refused to do so. 1 knew English kept phosphorus in his house previous to the conversation. The Greek fire was kept in ordinary black beer bottles, with gutta percha caps over the top to exclude the air. On another occasion he told me he had some mixed in another form, and showed me some made up in tin cases in his yard. He wanted me to take some of them away, but I again refused. I have men tioned the name of Brown. I first became ac quainted with him last year. I then knew him by the name of Winslow. I was introduced to him by a person named Burnett. Brown was acquainted with English. Sir T. Henry—Have you seen them together? Witness—Yes. Mr. Giffard—ls that man, Brown, the man in custody in the name of Burke ? Witness—Yes, sir. Mr.Giffard—Those are all the questions - I have to ask this witness. Mullany—l know a great deal more about the matter. Mr. Giffard—l have asked all I require at present. Mr. Lewis said he should defer his cross-exami nation until another occasion. Sir T. Henry—Mr. Giffard does not say that he intends to recall the witness. Mr. Lewis—l think I ought to have had an op portunity of conferring with Barrett before the cross-examination. The evidence has taken me quite by surprise. Here is a prisoner taken from the dock and examinedas a witness. I ought to have time to confer with my client before cross-examin ing. Mr. Giffard.—l have no objection to go on with another witness or two, which would give Mr. Lewis time to consider the evidence. I cannot un dertake to call the witness Mullany. Mr. Lewis—Then, under such circumstances, I shall decline any cross-examination of the witness at all. It is perfectly impossible for me to do jus tice. Martha Kingsley examined by Mr. Poland—l live at 8, Pulteney-court, at a house kept by Mrs. Martin. Before the explosion took place at Clerkeu- THE SUN, LONDON TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 28, 1,368, well I saw Jackson (Barrett) there. I did not know his name, but I have seen him on several occasions going into the shop and likewise in at the private door. I have seen hiin once with Mrs. Martin going out. I 1;14 saw him (Jackson) on the Monday night before the explosion at Mrs. Martin's be tween 8 and 9 in the evening. I cannot say expressly when I first saw him before the ex plosion, but I should think about two months before. I always saw him carrying a carpet bag— I never saw him without it. I have never seen him in the coat that he now wears, but he wore the same hat that he has now. He always wore a light coat. His face is very much changed ; his whiskers are now very different from what they were when he used to come backwards and forwards to Mrs. Martin's. At that time he had long whiskers, no beard under his chin, and very little moustache, if any. On the Sunday night bebre the explosion he wore a tall black hat.. Sir T. Henry—Allen, you are the only prisoner without a solicitor. Do you wish to ask the witness • any question. Alletk—No--thank you, Sir. Mary Ann Page—l live at No. 1, Pulteney court. My husband is a painter. The house in which I live is right opposite Mrs. Martin's. Be fore the explosion took place at Clerkenwell, I had seen one of the prisoners (English) at Mrs. Mar tin's several times outside the door. The first time would be a few days before the explosion. I fancy I have seen that man (Barrett) acre, when he went in with the carman when he carried the barrel of gunpowder. Mr. Poland—Did you see the barrel carried in. Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Poland—Did you know what it was ? Witness—No, sir. Mr. Poland—Have you seen other men at Mrs Martin's ? . Witness—Oh, yes, sir. Before the explosion three or four men were continually going in and out Mrs. Martin's place. I did not notice English there the day the barrel was brought. The other men I have spoken of seemed friendly with Eng lish. They always spoke when they met him. English used to be in and out Mrs. Martin's at all times during the day. Since the explosion I have not seen so many people call at Mrs. Martin's. Clarissa de Fois—My husband is a Frenchman, and collects advertisements for a French newspaper. Before the explosion at Clerkenwell I have seen English visit Mrs. Martin's house. I first observed him to come five or six weeks before the explosion, but ever since Mrs. Martin has been there men have visited the house frequently. They used to come two or three together. English used to come very frequently. Since the explosion there have not been so many visitors to Mrs. Martin's. I have fre quently seen English talk to Mrs. Martin ; but all those who visited seemed to be friendly, as they all talked together when they met. The middle ono (O'Keefe's) features strike me. O'Keefe—l live in the street adjoining. Mr. Poland—Cannot you recognise any more than you have already pointed out ? Witness—No, sir. Mr. Lewis—Did you know O'Keefe to be a near neighbour of yours ? • Witness—No, sir. Elizabeth Butters—My husband'sname is Charles, he is a smith, and we reside at No. 2, Pulteney court. I know Mrs. Marlin's shop well. Before the explosion at Clerkenwell I have frequently seen men come there. Mr. Poland—Just look at the prisoners and say which you recognise ? Witness—l have seen that man (English) there. English—ln the shop ? Witness—Yes, in the shop. English—Mind what you're swearing. Sir T. Henry—You have a solicitor, you had better leave your case in his hands. English-1 don't know Mrs. Martin. Sir T. Henry—Take down that observation. Witness concluded—l have seen him (English) there some time previous to the explosion. I cannot recognise any of the other prisoners as actually visiting Mrs. Martin's shop, but I have seen that man (Jackson) at the top of the court previous to the explosion. Mr. Harper (for the Desmonds and English flow long has Mrs.Martiu lived in Pulteney-court ? Witness—About 10 months. Their shop was a greengrocer's, but a great many men came there without purchasing. I have also seen women coins there. I have not seen English come there since the explosion. The men who used to visit before that affair have not come since it occurred. By Mr. Lewis (for Barrett)—l think it would be two or three months before the explosion that I last saw Barrett there. Re-examined by Mr. Giffard—The reason I say the men have not come to purchase greengrocery at vegetablestohe parlour awa r . eau The frequently m y an Mrs. Martin's is that I h ave never seen th e m carry any m enu y imsetdtoes a come and and go I have not seen that kind of thing going on since the I T k h n o o m w a t s h l e ii fi n r g s s t le m y explosion. — an l ( l ß iv a e rr a e t t N o o . .

He had a light overcoat on, and an Oxford hat. lie is now much changed about the face. He has had his whiskers cut. Safah Smithers—l keep a beer-shop in Corpora tion-row. I have given my evidence before. I h a ve said that English was at my house the day before the explosion. /sir. Poland—Look at the prisoners, and say whether you recognise any of the men in the dock as the person who was with him. Witness —To the best of my belief that man (Barrett) was the person, but I should not like to swear to him. Mrs. Butters recalled—l no* recognise that man with the long beard (William Desmond). William Desmond —If ever God cursed a woman, he'll curse you, you false swearing woman. Sir T. Henry—You had better be quiet ; you have counsel. Mr. Lewis—Have you ever seen O'Keefe at Mrs. Martin's? Witness—No. Mary Ann Page recalled—l can now recognise another man as visiting Mrs. Martin's. It is the man with the long red beard (William Desmond). I saw him there about a week before the explosion. He was there several times during that time. Mr.parper (for William Desmond)—You were asked before in your first examination to point out all the prisoners you knew. Why did you not point out William Desmond then ? Witness—l was not asked, and therefore did not like to say. I don't know why I did not do so on the first occasion. I can safely say that William Desmond was at Mrs. Martin's shop. Mr. Lewis—Can you identify any more ? Witness—T am familiar with the faces of all. Mr. Lewis—What, the prisoner O'Neil ? Witness—Yes. I say I am familiar with all their faces. Mr. Harper—After you left the box on the first occasion, who spoke to you about the evidence you had just given ? Witness —No one. I spoke to one of the wit nesses up stairs, a woman. I said I knew Desmond, and then I was told to come down stairs again by that gentleman (Mr. Poland).. Mrs.. de Fois (recalled) —I can now identify William Desmond as being one of the visitors to Mrs. Martin's home. Ann Stringfellow—My husband's name is Henry —he is a baker. We live at No. 3, Wingrove place, Clerkenwell. I recollect the day of the explo sion. Before it occurred I had noticed a man at the corner of Woodbtidge-street for about a month previously. I thought he was a detective from the fact of seeing hi.n day after d a y at the sam e place. I noticed his dress particularly. On one occasion he had on a long brown coat and wide-awake hat; on another I saw him with a darker coat on, and wearing a mixed straw hat. He appeared to be merely looking about. lie crossed to different corners of the street, and at any time he was not far from the prison wall. Mr. Poland—Look at the prisoners, and say to the best of your belief whether you see the man amongst them who was loitering about. Witness—That one (pointing out Barrett). That's the person. Janet Crawford—My husband's name is John, and we live at 7f, Cross-street, Regent-street. My husband is a jeweller. I know the prisoner William Desmond. He lived at No. 10, Cross-street. It is three houses from our house. He lived in the second floor front. I was standing by Desmond's door on the 12th December, the day before the explosion. I was enabled to see into the back yard of that house. I saw three or four men there, but I could not see what they were doing. I saw one of the men come out through Desmond's door. That's him. English—What ! me is it you mean? Witness—Yes, you were the person. You went down the street and entered into conversation with several other men, who appeared to be waiting for you. English—What time was that ? Witness—Between three and four in the after- noon. English—All right ; some other parties have sworn that I was at Clerkenwell at that time. Sir T. Henry—You had better be quiet. Mr. Harper (to English)—lf you don't remain quiet I shall throw up your defence. English—All right, sir, I'll be quiet. Charles Morely recalled ; Mr. Poland--Now look at the prisoners and say whether you see the man who lighted the barrel. Witness—That man there (Barrett). Mr. Poland—You aro certain that is the man that lighted the squib ? Sir T. Henry—The boy said, " Lighted the bar Mr. Poland-1 thought he said lighted the squib. Sir T. Henry—No, he said " barrel." Mr. Harper—What sort of an appearance did the man then have? Witness—A long beard, and it came down here (putting his hand to both sides of his cheeks). He also had big eyes. Henry Bird recalled. Mr. Giffard—You have said in your evidence that you saw a man light the barrel. Do you see that man here to-day ? Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Giffard—Which is him ? Witness--That one (Barrett.) I described him in my evidence. Mr. Lewis—What was your description ? _ Witness—He had a long beard, and the same flush on his cheek that he has now. lie wore on the occasion a long brown coat. Mr. Lewis—Have you seen O'Neil before? Witness—Yes. Mr. Lewis—Where ? Witness—At the Millbank Prison. Mr. Lewis—And then you identified him as the man that fired the barrelf Y. Witness—Yes, I did, but I did not on the occa sion turn the men round. Mr. Lewis—The men were [all standing together. Witness—Yes ; but I had not the opportunity of turning the men round, or I should not have made the mistake on the first occasion. Mr. Giffard—Did you ever positively identify O'Neil? _ Witness—After I had turned both men round, I said I preferred Barrett to O'Neil. I said O'Neli was the person before I had turned Barrett round. After I had turned Barrett round I felt he was the man ? Sir T. Henry—Then you have no doubt now that Barrett is the man. Witness—No. I have no doubt he is the man. I won't swear, although I have no doubt in my own mind that he is the man. I know him by the colour of his hair and the long brown coat. Mr. Giffard—You have been only asked about the man that fired the barrel. Do you see anybody else in the dock that you know ? Witness—Yes, Timothy Desmond. drawing the truck. I have said so before. Isaac Hallom recalled. • Mr. Poland (to witness) —In your former ev dente you have spoken of a man you saw assisting another to take a barrel out of the truck and throw a cloth over it. Do you see that person in court ? Witness—Yes ; to the best of my belief the first man there is him (Barrett.) He is different in ap pearance now. On the occasion of my first seeing him he had his whiskers cut out from under his chin ; no moustache, or very little, if any. Mr. Poland—That was on the afternoon of the explosion ? Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Lewis—You are quite sure the man did not have a beard all round ? Witness—Yes, quite sure. Mr. Giffard—Were his whiskers cut out in any particular way. Witness—They were cat out very tastefully, and a person looking at him sideways could not see they were cut from under the chin. I turned round on the occasion, however, and had a good look at him. William Scott, 27, Castle-street, Holborn, said On the day after the explosion I was directed to take care of No. 5 and No. 7, Corporation-lane, the two houses damaged by the explosion. On Satur day, the 21st Dec., I was walking over the bricks and the rubbish in the prison exercising ground, and amongst them I found a ball. It was inside the prison that I picked up the ball. I gave it t o the policeman named Kno w l es . Mr. Lewis—What sort of ball was it? Witness—A white racket ball made of leather. He was Inspector Thomson-4 havo two balls, Sir Thomas, in my possession, but not ono with mo in court. Sir T. Henry—They must be produced on the next occasion. Constable Knowles—l received a small white ball from the last witness, and I gave it to Inspector Thomson. Thomas Buggins—l live at 22, Penton-street, Pentonville, and I am an assistant to a clockmaker. On the Saturday after the explosion I went on the top of our workshop, No. 4, Rosoman-street, to see if any injury had been done, and there I found half a stave of a barrel. It smelt very strongly of pa raffine. I gave it to Inspector Potter. Inspector Potter, of the G division—l received from the last witness part of a stave of a barrel on the Saturday after the explosion. I produced it in court. I afterwards found three smaller pieces of a barrel ; each had the same smell as the half stave I have now before me. I also received another bit from a tradesman in Rosoman-street, all of which I have given to Inspector Thomson. . Constable Slocum, 186 A, reserve—l produce a perfect stave of a barrel. I found it, the Sunday after the explosion, under the prison wall, about five yards from the spot at which the explosion took place. Alexander Chisholm—l am a constable in the Glasgow police, 141 A. On the 14th of January I was on duty n ear the Green, Gl asgow . My attention was attracted by a noise early in the morning ; it was like the report of fire-arms. I heard three reports, and the noise of the snap of the cock of a pistol. I heard the balls whistle as they passed me. Another constable named Cham bers was on duty at this time with me. We both smelt powder. I went in the direction of the sound, and found two men with their backs to the Green and their faces toward the Clyde. The men were Barrett and O'Neil. I asked them if they had heard any firing, and O'Neil said some boys at the moment had been firing away squibs. I said it could not be a squib as it sounded like a rifle. O'Neil asked me if I was a military man, to which I replied that I was not. Sir T. Henry—Were you in plain clothes ? Witness—No, sir, I was in uniform. O'Neil said he thought so, as I did not know the sound of a rifle. I told him I was certain it was not a squib that I had heard. I then asked him how long he had been standing where I was talking to him, whoa Barrett replied, i 4 Oh, only four or five minutes." O'Neil said they had come running down the Saltmarket across the gaol square. I said, " You could not have been standing there so long, as I have just been past." O'Neil said, " Never mind, let's have some drink." The other constable said, " There's no drink in the matter, let us see about this." I then said to both, " You had better come to the office." O'Neil said, " Very well." I took charge of Barrett and the other constable O'Neil. O'Neil was on my left side, between me and the river Clyde, and as we were going along Barrett said, " You had better come to my lodging, and get my character." I said, " No, come to the office, and they'll see to that." Barrett said, ".You con stables are very officious." I replied, " How ?" To which he said, " Why, by interfering with peo ple that's quiet and peaceable." I said, "We have to do that at times." Barrett then said, "I could do you some harm if I like." To which I said, " You can't blame a man for doing his duty." We then walked along for some time, when he made a spring from my side. 111 had his hands in ea pocket. When ha got to the iron Tailings he made a motion as if he was throwing something away. I saw something in his right hand, but I could not-say what it was. I pulled him back, and aska 1 him what he meant by such conduct, when Barrett said, " I want a swim. or two," but I told him I would provenG him from doing that. I took the prisoner to the station, but all that was found upon him was a pipe and tobacco pouch. In consequence of the inspector knowing nothing more than we told him both Barrett and O'Neil were discharged. Barrett gave his address 65, Crown-street. I afterwards went to see where I had observed Barrett to make the spring, and there I found a revolver, which I produce. It is a five-chamber revolver, two of which are still loaded. When I picked it up I saw there was a cap on one of the nipples. I did not examine the pistol to see whether it had been recently discharged. I took the pistol to the station,when both prisoners were again apprehended the same evening at the address given by Barrett. They were kept in custody in Glasgow until they were removed by authority of a warrant signed by Sir T. Henry. Barrett's lodgings were searched, and some papers were ;found which are now in the possession of Inspector Williamson. Two packets of cards were also found, a large and a small one ; all were given to Mr. Williamson. Sir T. Henry—Were both Hying together in th© same lodgings ? Witness—Yes, sir. By Mr. Lewis—There were three reports, and they all occurred within half an hour. I should say that Barrett was trying to get rid of the pistol when he made the spring from me. I had seen him for some time working away at his pockets. It never occurred to me at the time to see what he had got in his pockets. Barrett got six or seven yards from me when he made the spring, but I was sharp after him. Ur. Lewis—Do you mean to say he jumped away from you six yards at once ? Sir T. Henry—You can hardly be serious in putting the question. It is not the way to get in formation. Mr. Lewis—l only wish to get all the information I can, and put the question merely to get an ex plaaation from the witness. Robert Chambers—l am a police-constable sub stitute, and I was with the last witness on the 14th of January on Glasgow-green. I heard the shots fired, and saw the prisoners O'Neil and Barrett taken into custody. When we got to the station I searched O'Neil and found some money on him, and a copy of the Irishman newspaper. Both men were on tho first occasion discharged. I was with Chisholm when he found the pistol, and the same morning I and Chisholm went, in plain clothes, to the address 65, Crown-street. The Lieutenant searched the lodgings, and I only lent a hand. I saw the cards (produced) found, and also some copies of the Irishman newspaper. The card was real, the following being an exact copy : IN MEMORIAM RELIQTJISTEM. Pray for the repose of the souls of The Three Martyrs, Philip:Allen, Michael Larkin, and Michael O'Brien, Who were executed at the New Bailey, Salford, Manchester, on the never-to-be forgotten 233 of November, 1867. They Died True and orthodox Catholics, fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Church. MAT they rest iu peace and their good works follow them. l'or their ardent and sincere love for their Oppressed Country, they were Mur dered by the Enemies of the Irish Nation, who have long held her in bondage and oppression. We swear to avenge them—no joy shall be tasted; The Harp shall be silent, the maiden unwed; Our Halls shall be mute, and our fields shall be wasted, Till Vengeance is wreaked on the Murderers' head. Lion. GOD SAVE IRELAND—AND HER PEOPLE. Dublin, Ist Dec., 1867. Scripsit J. W. Mr. Giffard—That is all I propose doing in the present case to-day. I have now to ask for another remand. Sir T. Henry—Very well. All the prisoners are 'remanded for a week. TILE CHARGE AGAINST CLANCY. James Patrick Clancy was then placed at the bar charged with attempting to murder two police officers named Chown and Chamberlain. Mr. Giffard said lie proposed now to call evidence ,o show the antecedents of the prisoner, and then ie should ask for his committal to the Old Bailey for trial. . The following evidence was then taken : Sergeant Richard Griffiths —I belong to the Royal Engineers. I enlisted the prisoner Clancy on the 25th of October, 1864, at Westminster. I have not seen him since I enlisted him, so I cannot say how long he remained in the corps. He gave the name of Patrick James Clancy. Sergeant Instructor William Cottrell, of the Royal Engineers, said—l know the prisoner ;he was in the corps of Engineers. I have drilled him. I last saw him in the regiment in the latter end of 1865. He was a very efficient member of our amateur club. He deserted in 1866. Frederick Purdy, Colour-Sergeant, Royal Engi neers--When I was company sergeant the prisoner was in my company. He is a deserter from the re giment since the Ist of January, 1866. Ho deserted from Chatham. John Hurst—l reside at 27, Chester-mews, Regent's-park, and am a gentleman's coachman. On Saturday, the 18th of the present month, I was passing through Bedford-square about eight o'clock, my son Thomas being with me. I heard the report of a pistol. I was then opposite No. 44 in the square, which is b3tween Caroline-street and Char lotte-street. After I had heard the report of the pistol, I heard a cry of " Stop thief, stop thief, stop, murder." I turned round and saw the prisoner running towards me. I caught hold of him by the collar, and. gave him a sudden push, but I lost my hold. I followed him into the road, where I caught him the second time. The instant I caught him he fired a pistol. I noticed afterwards that my fingers were quite black. Up to this time I had not noticed anything in his hands. I saw Chamberlain the constable directly after this occurred. He came up to the prisoner, who was thrown into the road. I saw Chamberlain take a pistol from the prisoner. Just before the officer came up I said to the prisoner, " You shot at me, you shot at me, you vagabond ; you tried to shoat me !" Chown and Chamberlain, the two officers, then came up. Cross-examined—l could not say bow the pistol was pointed. I know it was a full explosion, and that it did not go off by accident in the struggle. I believe tho prisoner deliberately pointed the weapon at me directly I caught hold of him. He held the pistol in his right hand. Sir T. Henry (to witness) —I think it right to compliment you upon your great firmness and courage. You did great service. Witness—Thank you, sir. William Davis—l am a compositor. On the night in question I was in Gower-street near the pillar letter-box on the north side of Bedford-square. I heard the report of fire-arms. The noise came from the twat of me. I was mink% _down the square when I saw the flash and heard another report. I was very much frightened. I afterwards saw two persons running, namely, Sergeant Chown and Chamberlain. I heard a cry like " Stop him." I came up after the capture, and on seeing the pri soner I exclaimed in surprise, " What ! Clancy ?" Before I got up Ishould say that I heard two reports, and afterwards a noise like a crack as if the weapon had not gone off. I said:to Sergeant Chown, know the man, his name is Clancy." Chown said, " All right, we've got him." I have worked with the prisoner at Woodfall and Kinder's, printers, in Milford-lane. It was in the latter end of '66. I also worked with him on the Morning Star. He told me he was a deserter from the American army. I think he said the Federal army. Cross-examined--The pistol was pointing up in the air, I should say, while the struggle was going on ; at least I should say so from what Isaw. I never asked the prisoner whether he had not been a sol dier. I never asked the prisoner what he had been, but he distinctly told me without the slightest solicitation that he had either been in the Federal or Confederate army. I told my next companion in the office of the circumstance. We compositors work pretty close together. Sir T. Henry—There is not much light in Bed ford-square to enable people to see much. Mr. Giffard—l have several other witnesses, but they only prove the same thing. I will, however, just recall one of the previous witnesses. Constable William Chamberlain—l have since found that my overcoat is singed under the right arm. I showed the marks to Mr. Superintendent Searle. Mr. Giffard—That is the case for the prosecu- Sir T. Henry—You have heard the evidence against you. I am now about to commit you for trial. If you have now anything to say you had better do so. I must, however, tell you what ever you say will be taken down, and may be used against you at your trial. Prisoner—l reserve my defence. Mr. Burnaby, to the prisoner—You are formally remanded until this day week, on which occasion you will be committed for trial. Sir Thomas Henry called forward the two officers, Chown and Chamberlain, and told them he had received some subscriptions from a number of per sons who appreciated the courage they had dis played, and heshould have great pleasure in hand ing it over to them. Chown—Thank you, sir. The prisoner was then removed. A MALTELLO TOTER ATTACKED BY FENIANS. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) CORE, Jan. 28. Jonathan Allen, lately national schoolmaster, cousin of the convict of the same name who was executed at Manchester for the murder of Sergeant Brett, was arrested yesterday at Boherbuoy, county Limerick, for Fenianism. Others were unavailingly searched for, some of them Irish Americans. The Martello Tower No. 2, Duncannon Fort, Waterford Harbour, was attacked last night, about ten o'clock, by an armed party. The alarm signal having been fired, brought a military reinforcement, and shots were exchanged between the soldiers and the insurgents. The latter' fled. No casualties reported ; but the military believe that their fire was effective. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. VICTORIA. CLUB BETTING-THIS DAY.

Additions are reported to the list of disasters which occurred on the Cornish coast on the 22d inst. Visitors to the celebrated Logan Rock will remem ber a little creek or inlet, called Portchapel Cove, in which large quantities of wreck were seen early on Friday morning. Information was sent to Pen zance, and in a short time the proper authorities were at the Cove. Th e wrec k was h ed ashore com prised pieces of masts, spars, chains, cables, rigging, and sails ; at length a paper was picked up, which proved to be a page of a ship's log book, and bore the dates of the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th of April, 1859. It belonged to the brig Majesty, bound from Monte Video for Cork or Falmouth, and it was signed " Thomas Alexander, mate ;" shortly after wards there was picked up the stern board of a ship's board, with the words " Majesty, Plymouth," painted in yellow letter on a blue ground. It is concluded that the brig Majesty, belonging to Mr. J. W. Guswell, of Plymouth, has been dashed to pieces, and that all the crew, seven or eight men, perished. The schooner Juno, Green, master, of Plymouth, foundered off the Land's End; crew saved. The sloop Osprey has arrived with the wreck of the schooner Priscilla, of Jersey, in tow ; the schooner was laden with fish, potatoes, and oil ; her masts and rigging had been cut away, and she had lost one of her crew overboard when fallen in with by the sloop. On Thursday afternoon an in quest was held at Penzance, before Mr. Roscoria, county coroner, on the bodies of two seamen be longing to the unfortunate Prussian barque Die Sonne, which went to pieces on Pra Sands, in volving the loss of nine lives. The second mate, one of the two men saved, gave evidence, the pith of which has already appeared in The Sun. It appeared that the pilot and his son were taken on board on Tuesday morning, near the Scilly Islands. During the severe gale which com menced that night the main and mizenmasts were cut away and the anchor was let go; 90 fathoms of chain were dropped and the ship was for some time checked, but she made a sheer and the chain broke. At this time four men were disabled, and the re mainder were unable to clear the chain so as to let go another anchor. Soon after this the ship struck on some rocks called " The Stones," and the rudder broke. Nothing more could be done, and the ship rapidly drifted on the shore with the terrible con sequences which have been narrated. The details of the distressing shipwrecks and loss of life upon the Gower coast are slowly coming to hand, and fully bear out the extent and magnitude of our previous reports. The following is believed to be a correct list of the wrecks :—The Eliza, of Jersey, which was in charge of Daniel Rees, a pilot, of Llanelly, lost with all hands—supposed five—and also the pilot Rees. The Jeune Celine, of Jersey, a French lugger, totally lost upon the rocks and all hands drowned. The coroner has formally opened the inquest upon the bodies of four French seamen cast ashore, who are supposed to have been the crew of this vessel. The brig St. Catherine, of Fay, sailed at the same time, and, as no subsequent tidings have been heard of her, she has doubtless gone down, with all hands, supposed to be BiZ in number. The Sophie, of Regneville (number of crew not known) foundered; entire crew lost. The Charles Walker, of Llanelly, totally lost, together with the whole of the crew, believed to be six in number. The brig Onward, of Llanelly, total wreck ; crew lost, together with the captain's son and the pilot, Christopher Lewis ; the bodies of the captain (David Clement) and the pilot (Christopher Lewis) have been washed ashore and identified at the in quest which was formerly opened. The Fanny Mary, of Almwch (North Wales), completely broken up, and all hands (supposed five in number) perished —the boy jumped on board the pilot boa . t, and was h saved.
