Yesterday morning Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson
Bart., one of the county magistrate., attended in the I
Royal Arsenel,Woolurich, at the request of the authorities,
for the purpose of sweating in 200 Arsenal artisans who
had on the first occasion declined to take the oath as

being Irish, inquiries were instituted into each ems The
excuse were in some oases • plea of bed health ,• ethers
manifested conscientious maniples spinet hiking the oath ; I
• few appeared to entertain the views of the employes at
the Ranelagh works, Pimlico, and declined to be sworn,
but promised to defend the government property it it
should be attanckedn ; and lastly, there were a number who
entertained a *is that the risk Weaned in becoming
a special in the Arsenal would affect their life
assuranos policies. The life assurers office had been
communicated with, and expressed their consent to the
persons aimed becoming special constables. Altogether,
the result of the government overhaul was that 200 had ex-
premed • willingness to be enrolled, and at 11 o'clock yes-
terday morning they attended at the Mechanics' Institute,
Royal Arsenal, and were sworn in ea special constables.
The Rev. Mr. O'Callaghan who is attached to
the Roman catholic chapel in Dlikeestreet, Lineoln's•inn-
fields, preached a sermon on Christmas-day warning his
congregation against the evils of Fenianism, and de-
nouncing the Clerkenwell outrage. Since then the rev.
gentleman has received several letters threatening his life
if he repeats " the offence," and warning him that, if he
does not wish to have his chapel end house burnt, he will
keep silence for the future on the subject of Poniards.
On Friday night, as a man named Edward Wil-
kinson was posting a letter at the General Post-office, Mid-
dlesborough, he observed something burning at his feet,
which he picked up, and found it to have the appearance
of powder cartridges. He flung them down, trampled out
the fire, and took them into the post-office. The post-
master sent for the police, when the material that had
been burning was found to consist of three Arm paper
tubes, four or five inches long, rammed hard down with
powder, a fusee being attached to each, and all tied hard
together.' As letters of warning had been sent to the
superintendent of police and to the postmaster, some time
ago, stating that an attempt to blow up the post-office
was to be made, it is considered that the party who had
laid down the burning rockets at the foot of the letter-
box, had intended to slip them into the box as be posed,
but hid not stopped to do it for fear of detection, and had
thus—owing probably to the person spoken of umincup
at the time—thrown them peat the hole in the box. Had
the rockets been pitched into the box, not only would the
letters in it have been destvoyed, but the box would have
been blown to pieces, and the clerks in the office probably
injured, if not killed, by the effects of the explosion. The
police have got certain information which they are making
use of to trace the perpetrators of this dastardly outrage.
—Northern Daily Pena
At the Birmingham Quarter Sessions, yesterday,
the Recorder (Mr. Arthur Roberts Adana) made the fol.
lowing observations in the course of his charge to the
gaud jury :—" I am happy to be able to conpatulate you
that in this large and populous borough there has been no
overt act of that treasonable conspiracy known as
Fenisnion ; and although there can be no doubt that there
are some who sympathise more or limn* the views enter-
tained by the leaders of that conspiracy, yet their *flints
have met with so little sympathy with their fellow-
townsmen that they have abstained from all acts
of open violence. I do not believe it is necessary
here to expose any determination to uphold the
laws under which we all thrive, or express our
determination to resist to the utmost • band of conspira-
tors who, by rejecting ell ordinary and legal mode. of
obtaining redress from wrongs, either supposed or real,
have resorted to acts of violence to compel • dismember-
ment of the government of these ; far whatever
may be our differences, either political or religious, yet
there is one point on which the great majority im agreed,
namely, that the three geographical divisions of this em-
pire must, for their common welfare, remain for ever
united. Outrages like those committed at Manchester,
or at the Middlesex House of Correction, have raised in
the minds of many such a storm of indignation against ell
proms of Irish extraction that I dread lest the feeling
I skald degenerate into • war of races and creeds,
the results of which could not fail to be
over y detrimental to the interests of liberty all
I the world ; and I would warn you that it
would be most unjust to treat all our fellowoubjeets
1 who have come from Ireland se disaffected,or to consider
I that all who profess the Roman catholic religion are en.
I peed in treasonable practices ; for we have seen the
resistance made to adverse forces by native
bergliresTilhmen ; and we know that all the heads of the
Raw catholic church have denounced in the strongest
terms the acre of the conspirators who here oome from
ether countries to disturb the peace of these realms. I
trust, therefore, that the large Irish population which
lives amonpt you may still be recognised as loyal subjects,
and that you will join with me in the sentiments that I
have here expressed."
At the Liverpool quarter sessions ye.terday, the
Recorder, Mr. J. B. Arpinall, Q.C., in charging the grand
jury, said that, considering what bad been one elsewhere
in other part of the country, he did not think he would
be doing right is allowing the OISIOOII to publicer with-
I out congratulating the grand jury and the pu of LivIIT-
-1:80.01:11011 the safety which the town, shove ell others,
to have enjoyed from any actual outbreak of those
pupas who wens troubling the pesos of the country in
ether places. This circumstance was the more remarkable
because it was well known there was no town in the
' country which happened to have as large an Irish popubs-
I ties, and therefore a population amongst whom we might
have expected to And • large number of pupae

he had referred. Ha could not help thinking
that they owed the exemption they bad enjoyed
from disturbance in a very peat measure to
the efficiency of the police force and its bead. They owed
it else to Se fast that there were among the Irish people
in the town and elsewhere those who were guided by thou
influences by which one would desire that they should be
guided, and did not sympathise with the class of persons
who ware emoting these disturbances. The community of
the town were also very much indebted to the thief
maghtrate for the matures takes for the suppression of
the threatened disturbances in rionneetion with the pro-
posed funeral promstions. The satisfactory remit of the
messeres taken by the Mayer

He wished to know whether they were kepi in store there.
I said, "No." He asked bow they were conveyed to London

, their previous arrangements, I believedfact, I knew
'how they were conveyed, but I did not think it well to
inform strangers. He asked if there were any houses to

He wished to know if he could get from the factory to

when he was at the small arms factory. He wished to

were not afraid of the Fenians popping down upon us, and
how we were prepared to naive them should such occur.

so nearly crushed out as people thought. His words, as
nearly as I can remember, were, "And mark my words,
you will hear of something else before long." He then

SIR JOHN PAKINGTON ON ISNIANISH.

Sir John Pakington, the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty, attended the annual soiree of the Mechanics' In-
stitute, at Droitwich, on Friday evening. After some
general references to educational matters, Sir John, in
the course of .a long address, spoke of Fenianisin. He
thought that an additional reason might be found for the
union of all classes in this country against the weeping
existing, which, he was sorry to say, none of them could
does their eyes to. It was • most painful subject, and
one on which he would not wish to dwell. The existence
of the oonspiracy,and the manner in which it was con-
ducted strongly impressed their minds with the feeling
that it was.more necessary than ever to endeavour to
band together those who were loyally attached to the con-
stitution under which they lived. That conspiracy was
marked by deeds of the latest wickedness—of un-
qualified wickedness—which made one shudder to
think of, and, by the unscrupulous recklessness of
men who had no legitimate object to promote, in the de-
struction of life end property, and in the utter thawed
of these feelings which should animate the inhabitants
of • civilised and Christian country. It was impossible
to note the existence of such • conspiracy without feeling
deeply—and he trusted he was speaking the sentiments
of every loyal man in the country—that it ought to stimu-
late them to consider gravely all those points in which
the position of their humbler fellow-countrymen could be
made such as they would wish it to be. He confessed he
had been glad to mark the strong feeling of indignation
and disgust which he believed was now growing in every
direction in the public mind at the efforts of these mis-
guided and unscrupulous men. So wonderfully were
events arranged by Providence, that good often came out
' of evil. They were sometimes led to think that out of
this conspiracy—dark as it was in many of its character-
' iatice—there might arise some matter for con
He thought it might teach them that they cuigria,tliat=
who were really loyal—and by that he meant not only
loyal to the monarch who reigned over them, but loyal
also to the liberties they enjoyed and the institutions
under which they fiod—to cling more fondly to
those liberties and institutions. Every one of them
should do their duty as individual citizens to drive from
amongst them every man who disturbed the harmony of
hitherto happy England. He thought the present state
of affairs should teach them, among other things, not to
be too bitter in their party differences and divisions.
But these sank into insignificance when compared
with the efforts of those who endeavoured to in-
troduce anarchy, and deprive us of the blessings which,
as Englishmen, we enjoyed. Above all, the
in our midst should teach us that the liberties we enjoy
and the institutions under which we had so long, so greatly
tiourished were only adapted to a highly-civilised. orderly,
well-conducted, law-obeying, and God-loving people—that
if we were to have introduced amongst ma these conspira-
cies, these factious and wicked outrages, the result would
probably be to abridge our liberties and interfere with the
privileges whit:lh it had been the boast of England to
enjoy. They might depend upon it that the free institu-
tions and great liberty of England could not be co-existent
with • divided and a distracted people. We must be har-
monious amongst ourselves, obey laws, and drive these
conspiracies from amongst us if we wished to preserve our
liberty and happiness. On the part of the government he
thought he might venture to say for his collatives what he
had no hesitation in saying for himself, that it was their
full intention, anxious wish, and • belief, that they
might stamp out this conspiracy wicked combination
by the aid of the power which the Jew at present owe
them. That was their hope and the principle on which
thezahranad hitherto acted. He might serteudy say for his
co ern, as he said far himself, that they felt it to be
their duty to reactive order and tranquillity in the
country, and to root out whatever tended to destroy it. They
would not shrink from using whatever miens were in their
power to effect this object, which was of such paramount
Importance, and he telt Navies that in carrying out
these endeavours they would have the cordial support of
all picnic and all dance of loyal people.
