TRADES UNION OUTRAGI AT SHETFIELD.—YeStST-
day morning, between five and six o'clock, one of the most
fearful outrages which has been committed in Sheffield for
some years, was perpetrated upon a house in New Here-
ford-street, which is occupied by • man named Thomas
Fearneyhough. Pearneyhough is a saw grinder, and not •
member of the Saw Ganders' Union. At about half-past
five Fearneyhongh and his family were awakened by a
loud report resembling the discharge of • piece of artillery,
and immediately afterwards their house was shaken as if
by an earthquake, and it seemed as if falling to pieces.
They, of course, immediately rushed out of their beds,
and on hastening downstairs they found that the wall
of their sitting-room had been blown almost in one
mass away from the house to the other side of
passage which leads to the yards of several of the houses
in the row. They also found that in their bedrooms the
ceilings had become parted from the walls, and that
the plaster of both the walls and the ceiling had been by
some unaccountable means removed. The cause of this
scene of disorder was soon afterwards found by one of the
detectives, who, on going into the cellar beneath the
sitting-room, discovered a tin can similar to those which
are used by workmen for drinking their tea out of. The
can it was supposed would hold about a quart. The aides
were tightly secured with cords, so as to prevent it
from bursting. This can must have been filled with
powder, and then dropped into the cellar grating,
where it was ignited with a fuse, and then left to do its
deadly work. Fortunately, although there were seven
persons in the house, no one was injured. The wall of the
house at the top of the staircase was split asunder, and
the staircase itself was] blown several inches away
from the wall. Fearneyhough has not been a member of
the union for the last twelve months. The walls of the
adjoining house, which also contained seven inmates, were
much damaged by the explosion.

DR. NE7NMA'N AND I:3E TEMPORAL POWER.—Dr.
Newman's views of the importance of the temporal power
of the Pope, as expressed in a sermon which he delivered
on Sunday morning, at the Oratory Church, Edgbaston,
appear to fall considerably short of those entertained by
Dr. Manning and the Irish bishop.. Whilst maintaining
with all the earnestness of the extremeet advocates of the
temporal power the inalienable right of the Papacy to the
States with which it has been from time to time endowed,
under Providence, by the princes of Christendom, and de-
nouncing in terms as unmeasured as those of Dr. Manning
himself the sacrilegious robbers who would despoil the
church of territories which have been her undisputed pos-
session for ages, Dr. Newman is not prepared , looking to
the fact that there were Popes in the early ages of Chris-
tianity who possessed no temporal power, to assert that
the maintenance of that power now is absolutely indis-
pensable to the life and functions of the church, or that
Providence may not, by some compensating principle, ob-
viate the consequences of any loss of temporalities with
which it may be pleased to visit the church. At the same
time, Dr. Newman does not believe that the threatened
severance of the temporal sovereignty from the Popedom
as a permaneney will be permitted, and, humanly speak-
ing, it would be so great an evil for the church that all
true catholic" mast join in praying God to avert it.
