not much change to report in our market to-day.
Manufacturers of shirtings, who are well 'lnd Jr
contract, demand full rates, while those who are
not so are willing to make some slight concessions
to secure orders. Printing cloths are in rather
better request, and prices for these are firm."

THE FENIAN OUTRAGE.

LATEST PARTICULARS.

STATEIIENT BY ONE OF THE PRISONERS.

The plot will soon be made public, as within
the last few hours a written statement has
been placed in the hands of the detectives which
may seriously compromise the position of the
three prisoners, Allen, Desmond, and Justice.
Until that time there was very little evidence
against them which at all supported the serious
crime with which they were charged ; the only
material fact against them was, that they were
seen lurking about the neighbourhood of the
House of Detention on *the day of the explosion.
One of them, hoWever, has made a statement
which, though it does not directly implicate
himself or the others, is yet of an important
character, and may prove of great service in
establishing a case. Allen; the prisoner in Tiestion,
_ _prisoner
111Lne oetec-
tive force, and said that he wished to say for
what reason he was in the vicinity of the prison
on Friday. His evidence was taken down in
writing and duly signed by him. The par-
ticulars of the statement it is not thought
proper to disclose at present. It is possible.
that when the other two prisoners know that Allen
has done so they may follow his example. The
prisoners are separately confined and narrowly
watched. At the time that Allen stated that
which is now in the hands of the police, he could
not have known that Government had issued a
reward for the apprehension of the offenders, and
the terms in which it is offered. It is possible
that he might have supposed the authorities would
do so. They will not be further examined until
the latter end of this or the beginning of next
week.
It was thought by the authorities of the House
of Detention that the way in which an attempt
might be made to rescue Burke and Casey from
their place of confinement would be very different
from that which actually took place. Although
the Government had been warned that the
wall would be blown down ; and this information
was at once communicated to the Governor
of the House, it was not thought that the
threat would be carried out. It was the opinion
of a few of the most expert officers that a number
of men would commit some act for which they
would be remanded to the House of Detention,
and, while there, would await any favourable op-
portunity for aiding confederate outside. One
scheme which it was thought might be tried was,
that while the prisoners were being exercised in the
prison yard a rope might be thrown over the wall,
for the purpose of dragging over Burke and
Casey, and that when the few warders
rushed forward to stop them a desperate attempt
would be made upon them by the fellows who had
got committed to the prison for that object. Im-
probable as this filly appear, it was something of
the kind that was looked for. It was not thought
that there would be a renewal of the Manchester
affair, and that the prison van would be stopped.
Up to this morning no further capture has been
made, but the police are in possession of informa-
tion which gives them a strong hope that within a
few days some of the principal actors in this heart-
less crime may be as safely imprisoned as Burke
and Casey.
The condition of the wounded lying at the hos-
pitals is about the same as that last reported, and
no other death has happened.
