MR. JUSTICE ROILLOR ..4hD LORD Mc:ESTILL
The following letter appears in the LtiCeder ,

might be required of them.
Poirrstrouni.—The authorities at Portsmouth,
Gosport, and the vicinity, have made arrangements to pre-
vent any Fenian movement in that leanly. A careful
guard is kept in the dockyard and afloat ; row guards are
ever on the qui wive Nothing, however, has occurred to
lied to •sup 'lion that then is any plot to molest a die-
WA by so many threaten& of the Queen's most
loyal el:Meets—army, navy, and volunteers, in
strong force in garrison, harbour, and town. A Mien-
loos incident occurred last week. An
from Block.house Fon, on the Gosport sidarirget
mouth Harbour, when in a state of semi-drunkenness,
managed to leave the fen and get into • boat,
for the purpose, it is sinusoid, of getting more liquor.
The man lost the sculls, and being unable to manage the
boat was drifted by the current athwart the bows of the
training brig Martin. The sentinel on guard fully aware
of the responsibility of his position, and alive to Fenian
meows, concluded, of course, that the drunken
man (an Iriohman) was • Fenian,whoes purpose iw
the
was to blow up the brig. An alarm woe- reflood
boat rounded the bows and got clear into the harbour.
*pis the tide drifted the boat and its occupant, then
lying at the bottom, against the St. Vinoont, occasioninga
fresh alarm. The man was arrested, and his proper
afloat for one night stopped. This may be *spaded as a
sample of the many alarms raised in this district in eon-
nection with supposed Facies outrages.—Hompskire
Indapesdest.
ATTEMPT TO BLOW Ur two WORCESTER GULLD-
11ALL.—Abeat six o'clock on Tuesday evening • malicious
and wicked attempt to blow up the Worcester Guildhall
with pa was disoovered. The hall-keeper, Birch, went to
the gas meter, • very large one, stationed behind the doors
in the lower hall, but essmed with • sort of
when on going to turn on the gas far the puposecujblight-
ing the chandeliers he found, to his dismay, that the plug
wee drawn,and the gas escaping in alarming qsantities. It
should be here remarked that a meeting of special eva-
dable, was announced to be hold at the Guildhall at
seven o'clock, and it is supposed that the design of the
villains was to let the gas moms in such • quantity as to
blow up the Guildhall and those assembled.evident
that the person who attempted this diabolical act was ac-
quainted with the working of the ges meters, for the pipe
from which the plug was extracted was the one on which
the whole premiere of the gas mete, the other one being •
mere feeder. When [Stroh went to the meter to turn on the
gsa with the handle or turn-cook the gm was escaping with
• hiring noise. Happily for himself and some portions of
thehall he bad no light with him,sand his premium of mind
prevented • most serious explosion. The defect was imme-
diately remedied by the gas company, end the meeting
referred to was held. A great deal of sensation was excited
on the intelligence becoming known, and great concern
was manifested lest another attempt might be made.
Whether this was the act of Fenian* or not it is difficult
to say, WAALs strongly suspected that these people are on
the alert for mischief in Worcester.—Birmingham Gazette.

I leave to the diner/ meat of the public. tri not see or oommuninate with my son on the sub-
ject of the Leinetenhiris election from the time I first
heard of the requisition until net Saturday, except omens
occasion, when, as I was waildet to court with
hadrother
judge, I canally met him sad asked if he heard
whether Mr. Paget had accepted the requisition, and what
were his proapeota. On Saturday last however, on
reading your, paper, I at once communicated with /aim,
as well as with Mr. Goodman, and I have received from
them the original letters, with their cement to the publi-
cation of them.
" Personally, I am not sorry that Mr. Douglass's letter
to Lord Ingeatre was published, because it led me to take
the further trouble of investigating whether any and what
correspondence had taken place between my ion and Mr.
Goodman. Had I known of it at the time when I read
Lord Ingestre's • reckless statement' on the hustings, I
should have been quite content to have published it with-
out comment, as the bast answer to his charge.
" It must not be forgotten that Lord Ingestre's
original statement on the hustings was that Mr. Good-
man had promised him to vote for Mr. Pell, and then
went on to say, • But on Saturday morning last, as I
was going out hunting, he said to me I am sorry I
cannot go for Mr. Pell, because I have had a letter from
my landlord. (Cheers and uproar.) The liberal party
say the coercion ia all on one side ; now here is a case
on their aide ; and I can prove it, and can show the
letter." ' Comparing that statement with the account
given to me, mhis lordship's letter of the 16th inst.,
and the statement in his letter to Mr. Goodman, set forth
below, it will surely occur to Lord Ingenue that pirple
who make these charges should cultivate `momlo ories.
•• Having given this introduction, I proceed to set
forth the actual correspondence upon which this wretched
superstructure of misrepresentation and calumny has been
based.

SCOTLAND.
In addition to the precautions already men-
tioned, special watchmen have now been appointed to
guard the government offices at Edinburgh. They have
already entered upon their duties.
A correspondent of the Scotsman writes :
"From information received, or from fear of • Fenian
Week, we understand the officials of the Caledonia&
Railway judged it desirable on Monday that the plate-
leyers, surfaces:lan, and others connected with that par-
don of the line between Glasgow and Carlisle should,
from six o'clock in the evening until daylight
yeMerdity morning, patrol and keep • careful
look-out along the line during the night. That
there wee any definite expectation of mischief shout to
be done, we of course, cannot in the meantime positively
ry ; but Rim hinted in some quarters that warounp or
threats predicting specific outrage* have been of late
plentiful. The unusual precaution taken by the railway
authorities on Monday night is said to have been in con-
sequence of one or more of the presiding judges of the
Glasgow Winter Circuit Court, which rose that day, Ms-
velling,south by the limited mail. Whatever was the was I
at the " patrolling movement," it, so soon as it beams
known yesterday morning, caused considerable alarm
sad excitement at the wayside stations, which at
sight o'clock was heightened to an exceed=
when a rumour got gloat that a number of the
in the limited mail train were maliciously writhed
while approaching Beattock at 11.40 the previoas night.
From inquiries, we find that this report, like many more
at present in circulation, is without foundation. We
have still every reason to believe that Fenianism is being
gradually stamped out in Lanarkshire, yet the authorities
en my wisely strengthening the precautions taken to
the peace. In almost every town and village of
greenery*
throughout the county, hundreds of indivi-
duals, anxious to show their loyalty, have enrolled them-
selves within the lest eight days as special constehies. The
great majority of the " specials" are working men.
On the 9th inst. a soldier in the uniform of the
21st Fusiliers was in Dumfries, and had gone intotheputilin
house of Thomas Hart, spirindealer, P
Dumfries. In conversation with the landlitsrdtans2
other persons, he said that the working men of England
and Scotland should mite with the Fenian* and spat the
government ; and ha expressed deep sympathy far the
three Fenians executed at Mainsheets& for murder,

chionese of Queensberry forwarding 1001. for Dowager
of
the family of one of the murderers. These expressions
having been reported to Captain Noake, of the Scottish
Borderers Militia, that °Seer communioeted with the
authorities in Reload, the 21st Regiment being at
present
In Kilkenny, and the result was that on Thursday a
telegram wee received from the Deputy:Adjutant-
General, Dublin, to apprehend the sailer, who
was supposed to be Sergeant James Sutherland,
21st Fusiliers. It appears that Sutherland had, on
the 4th December, received • furlough to 14th February,
and on the 9th December bad been passing from Edin-
burgh to Dalbeettle, to visit his brother, who is employed
at the granite Rosales there, and, having some time to
spare on reaching Dumfries station, had gone up to town
sad used the =premier already stated. On Friday two
nea-cosmaimismed Wham of the Scottish Borderers west
to Delbeettie and apprehended Sutherland. He was
brought to the militia-depot and pieced in confinement
On Saturday, a sergeant at the 2lst Fusiliers arrived at
Dumfries and identified Sutherland, and on Mooday_mom-
Mg he left by train with Sutherland in custody. We un-
derstand that Sutherland is not supposed to have any
actual conneetion with Fenians, but he is a man ciseting
I democratic principles, and has cm some °amnions not
failed to give utterance to them—Glasgow Morning

and instantly the Inglb.4lSele and the property odium{

out of its socket and err up with great violence into the
air. The report of the mc}losion having been beard far

Greet excitement preened when it was jknown that earns
of the workmen were buried beneath the ruins With

which lay all around, as if mused by • violent shock of an

covered that two men, named repectively John Smith (18)
and Robert Ridley, • young man 17 years of age, amp
in the glue works adjoining, had been blown into aieleldl
ea the opposite ride of the railway. When picked up they

men in the mill were reported all safe. Those
in the ghee works were next inquired after, and on all
1 the names being called over it was discovered that • boy,
lambed Robert Benson, was missing. Having been seen
'ln the yard • few minutes beta* the explanon, it was
lamer he must have been either blown away or buried
beneath the ruins. No sooner was it mentioned that •
, doubt existed of his misty than • vigilant search was
sada. Indifferent to the danger that hung all around by
I =timbers, dilapidated wails, and scalding bricks,
gentlemen in the locality with praiseworthy
alacrity were foremost in the search. After turning over
the ruins in the comer neared to the glass works, and his
body being still missing, • search was made in the fire-hole,
which was completely filled up with bricks and pieces of
broken spars. Exciting, indeed, was the scene as showers
of bricks were thrown out of the hole in search of the
little fellow. On it becoming known that one of
his hands had been seen among the bricks the most intense
excitement prevailed, end the spot was speedily sur•
rounded by excited spectators. In a few minutes more
the poor little fellow's lifeless body was lifted from among
the debris frightfully crumbed and mutilated. It was re-
moved to the dead house. Dr. Frain, who was called to
attend to Smith, rendered every possible aid, bat so
seriously had he been scalded, the clothes having to be cut
off his body, that he died within two hours after the acci-
dent. At the time of the occurrence the unfortunate man
had finished his work, having been on the night " shift,"
and had just sat down neer the fines in the greshouse for
• chat with some of the men employed et the mill. Sin-
gular to say, the men with whom he had been talking jut
left • few moments before the explosion, and thereby es-
caped his untimely fate. The other injured man, Robert
Ridley, was also standing near Smith. He is seriously in-
verabout the head, and fears were entertained at him reco-
y. Smith was married to the daughter of his master, Mr.
Johnson. He was abut 28 years of age. The boyißecson was
about ten years of age, and was employed as • carrier.
His father was also employed in the glasabotuse as • teaser.
The destruction caused by the explosion is something
dreadful. Situated between the mill and Mr. Johnson's
ear works, with • strongly-built engine-horse enclosing
it, some idea may be gathered of the havoc wrought by
the bursting of a boiler under such circumstances, and the
destruction of property that would ensue. Boiler and
engine-hour have not only been destroyed, but a groat
portion of Mr. Johnson's glass works has been blown
down. A tall chimney, between 50 and 60 feet high,
connected with the engine-house, has also been laid
level with the ground. The paling enclosing the back
part of the mill was blown down, and • portion
of a rafter paling, about 90 yards off, was also knocked
down. The latter was sensed by the boiler striking it
when flying through the air. The force of explosion must
hire been terrific, the main portion of the boiler having
been carried into a field, on the other side of the railway,
about 400 yards from the mill. The boiler was blown into
three pieoes. The bottom part wasoarried about 800
yards off, while another piece of it has cut a depth of
three or four feet into the moth. It appears to have
been literally torn to pieces. Two instances of hair-
breadth escapes were mentioned. Mr. John Edgar,
draper, Mathe min when the explosion occurred, and only
sufficiently direct to escape being struck with the flying

which is only about 180 yards from the mill, and was
making his way down the railway to his place of '
business. A man who was oe his way to his we*
had got nearly as far as the mill when it Deemed to
him that he had forgot his dither, which had been node I
ready the night previous. After turning, and wade, bear 1
a few yards, the explosion took place and he was thus
miraculously preserved. On the report' of the occurrence
spreading in the town, great crowds of peooe *rambled
in the vicinity of the mill. The mayor- (Mr. J. C. Ste.
phenson) also visited the spot, and minutely examined
the boiler. Too much praise eannot be given to Mr. John
Edgar, Mr. J. and W. Oates, Mr. Benson, and the work-
men employed in the mill, for their efforts to extract
those buried among the ruins. The most diverse
reports are current regarding the cause of the
explosion. The boiler, it r said, was about 20 years
of age, and for long hail been considered unsafe. It was
• cylinder boiler, about 35 feet long, 5 feet diameter, and
i-inch plats. The mill for many years was carried on by
Messrs. Rosy and Son, flour millers, South Shields, and for
Dome years stood unoccupied. About two years ago Mr.
Brown, miller Newcastle on his mill at the (end
being destroyed, 'the Lamar Mill, and seed it
for mme time. Mr. - Willis, of the Swirls steam mills,
Newark, succeeded Idr. Brown. The boiler at first was
found to be out of order, end several times bad to be re-
paired. About three months ago Mr. Willis had the belie
entirely overhauled and repaired. Mr. Johnson, the pro-
prietor of the girl works adioining we are informed, for

ressand before the Lord Mayor, aimed with era
401, reestved hy him for and on admit of the Nether-
lends and Rotterdim Marine and Fire Insuranes Company.
Mr. Rood, solicitor, conducted the prosecution; and
Mr. Daly, the barrister, Instructed by air. Walk, appeared
for the defence.
It will recollected that the
eyeprelimima examination
took plass on Thu lad, when it was td that the
E=aniWie the agent of the Netherlands and
Marius Fire ce Compaszy, end that his
defalcations amounted te Eke 9001.
Mr. Scott said be had now to his lardship that
he would he dared_ a great deal of trouble, inasmuch as
the solicitor on behalf of the prisoner and the prisoner him-
self had iiIIC• the finder MOW= given_ facilities for the
examination of the books and caldera' documents. As
the result of that invastion the company felt madded
that they could not snbetantiate the charge preferred
raittr, prisoner, and it was to be regretted that ex-
had not been afforded them earlier.
Ur. Daly said he app&red on behalf of the defendant,
who wee• young man who had by his own mend and
energy attained an honourable position in life. He acted
bautaCtoittr= the
ed
trrramtrion rwri asanwagrtart
she Lord Mayor that the solicitor for the prosecutionehad
withdrawn from further proceedings in the handsome way
which he had done. The preferring of a charge of this
kind must be an dray to the defendant, because in the
papers of last week it was stated, on the rem-
sentrition of the attorney for the predication,
that be had embezzled a large sum of mond.
His object in addressing his lordship was, that the poses
should take notice of the statement now 'mule on behalf el
the prosecution, and also of his (Kr. Daly'2) statement
that the defendant was perfectly prepared to meet the
charge, if they had proceeded further. He might state
that the promotion was instituted on the information of
aperson named Klaus, who had been discharged from the
defendant's adios, and that the company were by him
misled. As the tympany had handsomely endeavoured to
remove every stain from the defendant's character, the
defendant on his part promised in an equally honourable
manner that he would take no subsequent proceedings
I against the promoter (the managing director of the cow
piny), who was • gentleman of high st•nding.
The defendant was then discharged.

GUILDHALL.
Mr. Manor), solicitor, attended before Alderman Cope-
land to state the result of a ease which had been heard at
this court on the 17th December, before Alderman Cotton
and Alderman Canton. The son of his client Mr. Dowd
was given into custody by Mr. Prosser, a confectioner of
34, Barbican, for stealing a penny tart, which there ap-
=to be every reason for believing was accidently
ea down in the shop. Alderman Cotton dismissed
the charge, and intimated that an action for false im-
la would lie against Mr. Prosser. That person
Ce=bsoome conscious that he had acted with great
impropriety, and had made an ample apology , in which he
acknowledged that he allowed his angry feelings to sway his
better judgment, and that he was now convinced the young
man was totally ignorant of the charge he made against
him. He further expressed his desire that every stigma
which his unfounded accusation had cast uponyoung Dowd
might be removed by this apology.
Alderman Copeland said he had nothing to do with the
ease, and that Mr. Moseop's statement should have been
made before Alderman Cotton, who heard it.

Willirnn BaMast, aged 39, • clicker, residing at 213,
Upper-street, Is appeared on remand before Mr.
Cooke, charged with lingeon
cutting and wounding Mr. William
Saliba, his father, with intent to murder him.
It will he recollected that on Saturday last, about 1
o'clock in the afternoon, the prosecutor, who carries on
the business of an outfitter at 233, Upper-street, Isling-
ton, was seated at table with the prisoner and Mr. and
Mrs. Grupp, the son-in-law and daughter of the prose-
cutor. They were just about to commence dinner when
an altercation commenced between Mr. Grupp and the pri-
soner, and on the latter calling the former a liar •
straggle ensned,and the prisoner left the room, but shortly
afterwards returned with a shoemaker's knife in his hand,
and ran behind his father's chair, seized him by the head,
drew it back, and tried to cut his throat. The father
placed up his left hand to save his throat, which be par-
tially did, but three of his ammo were cut to the bone in
doing so. The prisoner was with some difficulty separated
from his father, in doing which Mr. Grupp had his hands
cut, as also did his wife, who took the knife from her
brother. She told him that he ought not to act so, and
he replied that he bore no animosity to her husband, but
he had planned it for his father ; be was then given into

-
The primmer, who behaved himself in a mild and deco- 1
row manner, appeared to be perfectly harmless.
Polioe-eonstable John Reynolds, 287 N, said the surgeon
who attended to the wounds of the utor was then in
attendance, and also • witness who would depose to an
expression of the prisoner's intentions on the day previous
to the attack.
Kr. Arthur John Cribb said the prosecutor came to him
about 2 o'clock on the afternoon of Saturday, suffer-
ing from • wound on his throat and severe cuts on three of
his ners. The wounds were no doubt produced by
such &knife as that produced, and had the prosecutor not
guarded himself with his hand the wound on the throat
would have proved dangerous had the same force been

used.
Mary Ann Icalq mid she was the prosecutor's servant.
On Friday last, in the afternoon she was in the kitchen
with the prisoner. They were 'talking about his father,
and be said, "You Deed not be surprised if I do for the old
man, for my blood is getting up, and I shall do it." She
told him that he ought to be ashamed of himself, and not
talk like that of his father. He did not mention his
father's name, but be had been talking of him.
On being called upon, the prisoner declined to say any
and he was fully committed for trial.
The witnesses having left the court, a gentlemen, who
was understood to he a brother-in-law of the prisoner, ad-
dressed the magistrate, and said that he had known the
prisoner for many years, and had not the slightest doubt
but that he was 'showing under insanity. He bad been
under medical treatment previously for that malady, and
it was well known to all his family. (Not one member of
the family who appeared as a witness mentioned or hinted
at such being the case.)
Mr. Cooke—Will you be able to bring forward evidence
as to that
Applicant-4)h yes, sir, I can bring forward the medical
gentleman who attended on him whilst be was insane, and
severs' personal friends who will depose to the mine
effect as what I have stated.
Mr. Cooke—l have no power to order an examination ,
the prisoner, but I think your proper course will be to
mention it to the jodge at the trial, and have your medical
and other evidence in readiness, should it be required.
The applicant said he would certainly pay attention to
his worship's suggestion, and having thanked him, retired.

A young girl, who stated her name to be Sopkia Orme,
aarently not morethan twelve years of age, was charged
bdore Mr. Newton with steeling • valuable watch, the
property of Mr. Frederick Brent, master of the Industrial
School at Bethnal-green. It appeared from the evidence
of this person that on the 30th ult. the young prisoner,
who had been an occasional scholar at the industrial
school mentioned, was required by Mrs. Brent to do
something in the household duties which took her into
the private room for a few minutes, immediately after
which the watch and chain, valued at teas guineas, were
missed. It was utterly impossible that they could have
been stolen by anyone but the prisoner, as, in fact, no one
but herself bad pared into the room between sight and
ten, at the former of which hours they were
seen by the prosecutor, and mimed by him at
the latter. When asked respecting them she at once
deniedaU knowledge of the articles, and but for her having
a very bad character it is probable that soviet=
would not have clung to her as it did. At night it was
sonertained that she bad stopped away from her home, and
• friend of bar mother reported to Mr. Brent that she bad
ems her at aWs hour by the Woodmen publio-bonse in
Betimatfross, in a pleas known as "The Boys' and Girls'
Market." The girl, nothing fearful, presented herself at
his hones the feilowing day, and was again questioned by
Massif and her mother respesting the metier, and with
apparent tratbdubtees she reported her declaration of
entire innomees. The minister of the perish himself
