HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH.
—The following address to the Queen has just been
adopted by the Vestry of Clerlcenwell on the subject of
the recent attempt upon the life of his Royal Highness the
Duke of Edinburgh :—" May it please your Majesty,—
We, your loyal subjects the Vestry of the parish of Saint
James and Saint John, Clerkenwell, beg most respectfully
to express to your Majesty our feelings of horror acd
indignation at the -base an•l cowardly attempt to assassi-
nate your son, his Royal Highness the Duke of Edin-
burgh, and humbly to offer to your Majesty our most
sincere and heartfelt sympathy. We beg to express our
astonitlment that an individual could be found in this
vast empire base enough to perpetrate so foul an act,
and our devout thankfulness that it pleased Divine
Providence to watch over and protect his Royal
Highness ; and we earnestly pray for his speedy and
complete recovery. We feel confident that this event will
tend to increase and strengthen the national attachment of
your Majesty and the Royal family, and We avail our-
selves of this our first opportunity of assuring your Ma-

THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF
THE _DUKE OF EDINBURGH.

SPORTING NVTES.

The following despatch was received on Sunday by the
Secretary of State for the Colonies :
" THE EARL OF BELMORE TO THE DUKE OF BUCKING-
HAM AND CHANDOS.

It is now an understood fact that the Marquis of
Hastings is not likely to be able to " arrange" with
his turf creditors, who are principally large book-
makers, at any rate until after the Derby has been
decided. The terms of the compromise were cer-
tainly not tempting to those gentlemen, as I believe
the proposition on that nobleman's behalf was to
pay one-fourth of the amount owing at once, and a
similar sum, which was to be considered a settle-
ment in full, at a period of three months afterwards.
The principal objector, who is sail to be the largest
creditor, offered to accept the amount of the compro-
mise proposed if settled at o ice, and as his receipt
of the second instalment probably depended upon
Lady Elizabeth winning the Derby, against which
he may have laid tfht maiquis a lot of money, the ob-
jection is anything but an unreaso-,able one.
`l'll Bata Meeting, which commences to-morrow,
will be watched with tht most inter ie interest, as
frequently one or other of the Derby favourites re-
ceive their quietus at that charming spot. Spe-
culum is engaged in the Sideenth Biennial Stakes,
but the Duke of Newcastle will sc Lreoly b in ht3cd
to start him in the fa:_le of the great chancs he pos-
sesses rev " The Blue Riband ;" and I mast there-
fore pin my faith on Sr. RONAN, unless Gritnstou
has recovered his bait form. As regarls the
Beaufort Cup, I do not anticipale seeing more
than six or seven at the post out of the twenty-
eight nomination; and they will probably be
Achievement, Gomera, Blinkhoolie or Knight of
the Garter, Goodwood, Julius, and The Earl.
Achievement's style of winning the Doncaster Cup
was so first rate that I think she has only Jumus
to fear, but, great mare as she is, I fully anticipate
seeing her defeated by this fine son of St. Albans.
If both of them should be beaten, it will probably
be by The Earl, who will, in my opinion, stay the
two miles and a half as well as anything in the race.'
There are no less than sixty-four, youngsters en-
gaged in The Seventeenth Biennial Stakes, of which
I fancy Miss FOOTE and DE VERa in the order
named. For The County Members' Plate SISTER
TO VEDETTE is turned loose, an.l ought to
win. The acceptances are not yet out for the
Bath Handicap, but whichever Lord Westmorland
runs, FORESIGHT or GANYMEDE, seem well enough
in to be successful.

" Government House, Sydney, March 27.
" My Lord Duke,—lt is my painful duty to inform
your Grace that a most determined attempt was made on
Thursday, the 12th of March, to assassinate his Royal
Highness the Duke of Edinburgh by a person named
O'Farrell, who, I believe, has for some time past, and
until six or seven months ago, been residing in the colony
of Victoria.
"2. His Royal Highness on that day honoured with his
presence a public picnic, which took place at Clontarf, on
the shore of what is known as Middle Harbour, in Port
Jackson.
" 3. This fete was given in aid of the fund of an excel-
lent institution called the Sailors' Home, and admission to it
was by tickets costing £1 and 10s. respectively for gentlemen
and ladies. About 1,500 persons were present, having
been conveyed there from Sydney and the neighbourhood
by water.
" 4. It bad been once' postponed on account of the in-
clemency of the weather, and the day fixed for holding it
twice altered so as not to interfere with the religious ob-
servances, first of the Jews and afterwards of the Roman
Catholics, members of both communities being expected to
attend in large numbers.
" 5. His Royal Highness, attended by Lieutenant Haig,
R.E., and the Hon. Eliot Yorke, and accompanied by my-
self, and also by Lord Newry, Commander and Mrs.
RoWley Lambert, Commander Campbell, R.N., and by
the members of my family and staff, arrived at Clontarf at
about from ten minutes to a quarter past two p.m., in the
steamer Fairy, which has been placed by its owner at the
disposal of his Royal Highness during his stay here.
" 6. On landing we were met by the President, Sir
William Manning, Q.C., by the Chief Justice, Sir Alfred
Stephen, C. 8., and by other members of the committee,
and immediately proceeded to the luncheon tent.
" 7. After luncheon, which lasted rather more than half
an hour, Sir W. Manning proposed the health of her
Majesty, which was enthusiastically received. Imme-
diately afterwards . his . Royal Highness quitted the
luncheon tent, and, giving his arm to Lady Belmore,
proceeded to another, placed at a short distance, followed
by our party and by a few other ladies and gentlemen.
"8. These tents were placed on a sort of flat plain of
limited extent, having steep rocks as a background and the
sea on its other sides. Behind the tents and to one side
of them the ground WAS rough and wild, but before them
there was an open level space of a few acres in extent,
rather sandy in most places, but covered with short grass.
Between this and the shore there is a thin fringe of gum
trees. A considerable. number of per Sons were walking
about in this open space, and a corroboree' by some 300
aborigines bad been arranged to come off on the ground
during the afternoon. After leaving the ground, which
his Royal Highness proposed to do at an early hour,
he would probably have proceeded to explore the inlets
further up Middle Harbour, and then have returned to
Sydney.
" 9. As soon as the ladies had arrived at the tent I have
before alluded to his Royal Highness called Sir William
Manning and walked away in conversation with him across
the open space. As he had previously told me that it was
his intention to band Sir W. Manning, as president of the
committee, a cheque in aid of the funds of the institution,
I naturally concluded that he was about to do so then—
which indeed was the case. I did not, therefore, pay
particular attention to the movements of his Royal High-
ness, but walked slowly in the same direction engaged in
conversation with the Chief Justice for about sixty
or eighty yards, when I believed I stopped and
turned round towards the tent. Almost immediately I
heard a cry from the other side of the clear space near the
belt of gum trees, and on turning round saw a rush of
people. I had heard no shots, and it at once occurred to
me either that some game or the corroboree was about to
begin. Some one near me .said, The Duke is shot,' and
anotherperson, He is shot, and has fallen down dead.' Just
then some one I knew—l think Sir W. Manning himself
—came up to me and repeated that the Duke was shot.
I had not gone many yards when I met a number of
persons carrying his Royal Highness between them
towards the tent. I immediately saw that he was not
killed, and the expression of his face struck me at once as
not being that of a person mortally wounded. I turned
to precede him to the tent, and meeting Captain Lyons,
R.N., of her Majesty's ship Charybdis, asked him to go
and get the ladies out of it. Re hurried off at once, and
by the time I reached it only two or three were remaining
in it, strangers to me, whom I immediately ordered out,
and I endeavoured to arrange some cushions to place the
Duke on, which was scarcely done before his Royal High-
ness was brought in.
" 10. The first thing I recollect the Duke saying was,
Give me air.' The side of the tent was pulled up, and I
took off his neckcloth and opened his shirt and under waist-
coat. Mr. Eliot Yorke took from him at the same time
several articles of value, such as his watch, &c., which he
was wearing, his Royal Highness displaying meanwhile
great self-possession.
" 11. Dr. Watson,
surgeon of her Majesty's ship
'Chal-
lenger, was among the
Persons who carried his Royal
Highness to the tent,
and Dr. Powell, assistant-surgeon of
her Majesty's ship Ga wea,
and several medical gentlemen
who were among the company on the ground were almost
immediately in atteneance, one of whom, Dr. Wright, for-
tunately had his instrument case with him.
" 12. On his Royal Highness's dress being removed, the
bullet was found to have entered half an inch from the
spine, between the ninth and tenth ribs, taking an oblique
direction, and was found to lodge about five inches from the
umbilicus, and four inches and a quarter beneath the
right nipple, having in its course traversed a distance of
124 inches. The shock Was very considerable, and it was
thought advisable not to remove the ball at the time.
" 13. My aide-de-camp, Captain Beresford, started off in
the Fairy to secure the attendance of Dr. Young (surgeon
of her Majesty's ship Galatea) at Government House, by
the time the Duke might arrive. Lady Belmore and the
ladies of the parties, accompanied by Lieutenant Fitz-
George, R.N., followed after a little time, a message
being sent by Mr. Fitz-George to the commending.officer
of the Galatea to have the boats in readiness on our arrival.
Lady Belmore was just able to get the needful prepara-
tions made in a room on the ground floor at Government
House before w: arr ved.
"14. We were fortunately able to avail ourselves of the
services of two of the trained nurses selected by Miss
Florence Nightingale for the Sydney Infirmary, and who
had only arrived in the ship Dunbar Castle the week
before, under the superintendence of Miss Young.
" 15. So far I have informed your Grace with some
minuteness of what occurred on this occasion within my
own knowlege and observation. A very full and, on
the whole, correct account of the outrage itself, and of the
subsequent arrest of the prisoner was published the next
(Friday) morning in the Sydney
Morning Herald news-
paper, which I have abstracted, with some trifling correc-
tions and amplifications with red ink in the margin.
" 16. From this your Grace will learn that O'Farrell
came behind his Royal
Highness (who, in common with
several other naval officers, wore a uniform frock coat
and white trousers) while walking with Sir William
Manning, and deliberately shot him in the back with
' a revolver, being at a distance from him at the time of
from four to six feet. He then covered with his pistol
Sir William Manning, who had turned round towards him,
but providentially this barrel missed fire. O'Farrell has
since stated that this second shot was also intended for the
Duke. He raised the pistol a third time, intending, he
Jumped upon his back and j forced his

says, to shoot himself. At this moment Mr. Vial, coach-

city,
man (Mr. Thorne) who was running towards his Royal
Highness, passing through his trousers, the elastic of his
boot, and his seek, and entering the foot a little in front of
and below the inner ankle, passing in a direction downwards
and outwards deep into the arch of the foot, and lodging
in the heel bone, near its articulation with the cubord
bone. The ball was firmly embedded in the bone. It was
extracted on Saturday, the 14th, and Mr. Thorne is going
on well.
" 17. O'Farrell was then seized by several persons and
taken into custody by Mr. Superintendent Orridge. A
determined effort was made basthe bystanders to ' lynch'
him, and I am afraid that but for the exertions of the
Chief Justice, Lord Newry and the men composing the
band of her Alajesty's 50th Itegiment, he would probably
not have left the ground alive, as the police would have
been overpowered.
" 18. He was got on board a steamer (which was close
at hand) in about ten minutes, and a disposition being
shown by the people.on shore to again try and get posses-
sion of him, orders were given for the steamer to proceed
at once to Sydney.
" 19. I enclose an extract from the Empire newspaper.
which describes what tookylace in some detail.
"20. On arriving at Sydney the prisOner was conveyed
to the Government gaol at Darlinghurst and was brought
up on Friday morning, the 13th of Mardi, for examination
in the Debtors' Prison before the acting Water Police
Magistrate. The examination was continued on Monday,
the 16th, and at its close he was committed for trial at
Derliughurst on the 26th inst., that day having been fixed
by a rule of court on the application, I believe, of the
Attorney-G oral.
" 21. I enclose a copy of the evidence taken at the
inquiry before the magistrate.
" 22. On Saturday morning, the 14th inst., the shock
hating disappeared, the bullet was extracted with facility
from his Royal Highness by Dr. Young, surgeon of her
Majesty's ship Galatea, anc'tDr. Watson, surgeon of her
Majesty's ship Challenger. Since that time no unfavourable
symptoms have occurred, and his Royal Higimess con-
tinues to progress as favourably. as could be wished.
There are no symptoms of any injury to the lungs.
" 23. I have only to add that the prisoner was arraigned
yesterday before the Supreme Court. He pleaded Not
Guilty. On the application of counsel for the defence,.
the trial was postponed until Monday next, to enable them
to endeavour to procure further evidence with regard to
the prisoner's antecedents. Although the prisoner has
avowed himself to be a Fenian, his family have under-
taken his defence on the ground of insanity. -
