DIABoLIcAL ATTEMPT MURDER A CIrIzEN-Ex-
rLosIoN OF AN INTERNAL MACHINE AND MUrILAr1oN
OF THE INTENDED NICTIM.-A diabolical, but fortu-
nately futile attempt was made, at about o'clock
yesterday morning, to murder Pryor p Lee engi.
neer OF the Cincinnati Type Foundry, in the engine
room OF that establishment, Centre street, west
OF N1ne An internal machine, consisting of piece
OF gas pipe seyen-eghths of inch in diameter and
nearly eight inches long, welded with wrought-iron
plugs at either end, and filed with explosive mate
rial, was the means by which the hideous crime was
sought to be completed.
AT the hour mentioned, the inmates of the foun-
ary up STAIRS were startled by decorating sound
IN the engine room, like the discharge of heavily
charged musket. Surprising the boiler had ex-
ploded several artisans fastened to the head of the
stairway leading to the engine room, and met Mr.
Lee on the topmost step, covered with gore and en-
Veloped IN fames Water was thrown upon his
garments and the fire extinguished. Mr. Lee then
tainted and messengers fastened for medical aid
Meantime 1t was discovered that the sufferer was
wretchedly mutilated his left hand being literally
torn to shreds; his body, between his thighs and
waist, oadly burned, besides being punctured with
severe wounds, both eyes burned and the flesh about
them much lacerated and of his ears shockingly
mangled.
| MIR. Lee was removed, his left hand was ampu-
! tated, and his remaining wounds dressed Yester-
gay afternoon he was able to little, and
informed Mr.. Wells, of the type foundry company,
tnat he was engaged in cleaning up shavings and
other litter about carpenters bench in the engine
room where he was wont to devote his spare time
to the manufacture of type boxes, and picked up
the internal machine from the floor, under the
peneh, and laid it upon the bench, when it
| exploded IN his hand. The force of the explo-
sion was terrific The thick pipe metal was shat
tered into dozen pieces, and twisted into odd
shapes Some of the fragments perforated inch
| plank, and imbedded themselves in the plastering
OF the wall: The largest fragment, consisting Of
about one-third of the machine, went whizzing
through the engine room, like missile shot from
cannon, into an area eighty feet distant and, srik
thirds of the fragments of the pipe found and
the fabrication of the machine is conclusive evil
dence that it was made by some familiar with
IRON manufactures. The explosive substance was
inserted into the machine through small vent
hole near one end, and evidently was so manu-
featured that slight disturbance would cause an
| explosion. The author of this fendish attempt is
unknown, and the superinducing cause is pro-
found mystery.

The CHEsAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL.-On Saturday
last the old Board of the Canal Company met at the
Canal Office in the City Hall, W. P. Maulsby, Esq.,
IN the chair. All the members were present. They
fully endorsed the action of their President in his
controversy with the new Board.
Notice of an application for injunction was
served on the members of the new board by their
predecessors Friday last, in which the time for
hearing the parties therein set for this morning
at IL o'clock. This is to enjoin them against
taking possession of the books, documents and
offices of the Canal Company; the old Board DENY
ing the validity of the Boards election Nor is
thsa for the controversy has extended to the subor
dinate administration of the canal. The collector at
Cumberland under the old Board, has been instructed
not to yield up his office to the collector newly
elected, whilst the latter has been directed by his
friends IN the new Board to qualify and take imme-
date possession The old collector at Cumberlan nd
has also been ordered to allow boats to pass with
out first paying him toll. The new collector there
has been commanded to keep the canal free, and to
use force against all who may resist his efforts
Hence it is well that for the sake of the canal and
those who navigate it, the differences between the
two Boards are to be so soon brought to some
judicial determination if indeed our District courts
shall decide the matter to be within their jurisdc-
ton at all.

FIRE IN CAMBRIDGE, MAss.-GREAT DESTRUCTION
OF Law PUBLICATIoNs.-A large wooden warehouse
connected with the Riverside Printing Establish
ment in Cambridge, set on fire by an incendia-
~ about one o'clock this morning, and heavy loss
of property ensued. The building contained
very large and valuable stock of the printed sheets
and bound volumes of most of the prominent law
works published by the well known house of Messrs
Little d Brown, of this city; and the entire stock
was completely destroyed, either by the flames
and smoke, or by the deuge of salt water from
the river, which was necessarily thrown in order
to prevent the fire from spreading. We learn
that the property is insured for $4,000, chiefly
in a number of offices out of Boston, and some
of which are in England; but whether this amount
is sufficient to the loss has yet been
tanned. The Cambridge Fire Department worked
well on this OCCASION and notwithstanding the COM
bustible nature of the contents saved the building
with damage of only $500 to $1,000 The insur-
ance on the property of Little, Brown & Co. is as
follows Royal Office, England, $4,000; Liverpool
and London Office, S10,000 Eliot, Quincy and Shoe
and Leather Dealers of Boston, $4,000 each Charter
Oak and City of Hartford $4,000 each: Peoples
Mutual and Merchants and Farmers, of Worcester,
$4,000 each; Providence, Washington, $1,000: How
ard, Philadelphia, $4,000; Howard, of Lowell and
City of New Haven, S25O0 each. Total $4,000
