late Father Mathew, at Lehena, in this county.
They were fired on by the inmates, and one of
them was shot, but he was carried off by the in-

ATTEMPT TO BLOTV LP THE WORCES-

TER GUILDILILL.

About 6 o'clock yesterday evening a malicious and wicked
attempt to blow up the Worcester Guildhall with gas was
discovered. The hall-keeper, Birch, went to the gas meter
a very large one, stationed bohind the doors in the lower
hall, but encased with a sort of cupboard, when on going to
turn on the gas for the purpose of lighting the chan-
deliers he found to his dismay-that the plug was drawn
and the gas escaping in alarming quantities. It
should be here remarked that a meeting of special
constables was announced to be held at the Guildhall
at seven o'clock, and it is supposed that the design of the
villains was to let the gas escape in such a quantity as to
blow up the Guildhall and those assembled. It is evident
that the person who attempted this diabolical act was ac-
quainted with the working of gas meters, for the pipe from
which the plug was extracted was the ono on which the
whole pressure of the gas rests, the other one being a mere
feeder. When Birch went to the meter to turn on the gas
with the handle or turn cock, the gas was escaping with a

hissi g noise. Happily for himself and some portions of-the
hall he had no light with him, and his presence of mind pr
vented a most serious explosion. The defect was imme-
diately remedied by the gas company, and the meeting
referrid to was held. A groat 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 Fenians or not it is difllenit t:, say, but
it is strongly suspected that these people aro on the alert
for mischief in Worcester.— Birmingleanz Gazette.

MARKETS—(2 his Day.)

NIARK LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of wheat
from Essex and Kent were very limited, and the quality of
the samples was generally inferior. Fine parcels met a
ready sale, at fully Monday's advance in the quotations,
but inferior sorts were neglected.
In foreign wheat, of which the show was extensive, a
fair business was transacted at very fair prices.
Barley was in steady request at late rates for both
malting and grinding qualities.
There was very little inquiry for any kind of produce
afloat, and values were rather easier.
The malt trade was dull at drooping currencies. There
was a large quantity on sale.
Oats wore in plentiful supply, and good sound corn sold
steadily at Monday's currencies.
Maize was hold for extreme rates.
Beans were steady on former terms.
For peas there was very little inquiry, but the quota-
tions were unaltered.

Linseed and rapesoed were dull and drooping. Now
cluversoed commanded little attention. Trefoils and tares
sold on former terms.
The flour trade was heavy, but no change took place in
the value of any doseript.on.
