ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP THE
LIVERPOOL TOWN HALL.
From the Times.)
10 JUNE.

~ OONbs
Liverpool to-day was the scene Of
another supposed Fenian outrage, very
similar TO that perpetrated at the police
barracks in that city. This time the
Town-hall was selected for damage or
destruction. At a few minutes past 4
o'clock this morning, John Ross, cabdrIver,
was coming up Water-street with his
vehicle, when he saw two men on the
doorstep of the west door of the Town
hall. They appeared to be sailors, aud
had n canvas bag beside them. Ross turn
ed his horse along Exchange-street West
and asked them if they wanted a cab.
They replied 10 the negative, and Ross
drove to the cab.stand in Castle-st:eet'
opposite the Town-hall. He had only
been there a minute or two when he heard
a loud explosion. Later when the affair
Came to be investigated, Ross was taken
to the police office, and he there identified
two prisoners as the men he had seen with
the bag on the step Of the Town-hall door.
While the C altman was driving to the
stand in Castle-street, Police-constable
Reade, 7S2, was on duty in front of the
Town-haIl. This officer, consequent on
something Ross said to him, walked round
to the northwest corner of the building,
and there observed the two men standing
close to the door where they were lett by
the cabman. Reade perceived smoke
issuing from a bag lying on the top
step. On seeing the constable the
2ri oners darted off across the exchange
area, followed by Reade, who blew his
whistle continuously. The men got
through the arches with Reade still in
pursuit, when in Chapel-street Constable
2s4 (Creighton), attracted oy the whistllng
came up to him. Reade called out " Go
back to the Town-hall. it is being set on
fire, / saw them strike the match aud heard
the fuze." Creighton then ran towards the
Town.haIl, and Read continued the pur-
suit of the two men along Old Hall
street, whistling all the time. His alarm
attracted Police-constable $50 Casey,
who was 10 Queen-street at the tine, and
this officer, on running up into the Old
Hall street, found himself ahead OF The
fugitives, who seeing themselves intercept
ed, ran up through Edmund-street, under
the railway arches. and into Plumber-street.
Casey was fresh in the chase and close
upon the heels Of the runaway culprits.
He chased them into Singlepeg-lane, q
narrow passage leading towards the Leeds
aud Liverpool Canal, aud there, after a
brief search, be found q man, who gave
the name of M'Kevitt, hiding under a
wegou. Casey at once dragged him out,

ally proposed by ODonovan Rosa, and ma
turee and extended by Mr.. Few, of the Irish
World, to whom be disclosed his design, A
minute account of an interview between the
two desperadoes was given in the Irish
World of April Is. and the policy Of destroy
ing property of every kind in and out of Eng.
land by dynamite and other destructive means
was discussed. The infamy of the idea Was
CLOSED over by the p~retence that Ireland and
England were at war, aud that such outrages
were justi6able reprisals. The Irish World
is the most powerful organ Of the Land League,
and collects a large portion of the funds which
that body receives every week. 1t was for the
purpose Of committing such ontrages that the
''skirmishing fund.-" as it is called, was estab-
lished, and outrages committed In Ireland as
we'll AZ in England, have been described In
kilograms and other communications TO me
Irish World as "skirmishing." The paper
has been Gil culated in thousands among the
people. 1t maintains that there is NO private
property at all in land, that a demand for Grit
fth's valuation or any standard of rent is an
utter mistake, and that the land belongs TO
those vino till it. A scheme for parcelling it
out among farmers and labourers in holdings
not TO exceed 80 acres he's been laid down.
Our Chester Correspondent telegraphs that
an important communicative has been received
from the Government by the police authorities
there, stating %thats'he Fenian organizations in
America have detailed a number of men to des-
troy public buildings in various ciIi~s in the
United Kingdom, that Chester is among the
number, and that The police must adopt pre-
cauiionary measures. There is no doubt that

The Trip Of Two Young New,
Workers. '

Some weeks ago two boys, neither
one more than fourteen years old were
arrested by Detective Pryde upon sus-
picion of having run away from home,
and when they were searched pistols
were found in their pockets. Their
parents in New York were written to
and returned answer thatthe boys had
left home with their consent. They
had taken the Texas fever, and could
not be cured. Upon receipt Of this
information they were released and
left for Texas via Little Rock some
days since, the younger of the two,
Julius Coe, wrote back for a letter of
recommendation which bad been given
him by his New York employers and
left here by mistake. 1t was sent him.

AS the railway train from Nashville
approached Springfield station, in
Robertson county, on Thursday last,
an enthusiastic crowd had gathered
TO welcome Representatives Daniels
and Woodward, who had voted against
the Ubiquitous state debt funding bill.
A delegation met the gentlemen some
distance from their stopping place,
and escorted them home. Banners
were flying, notices hung out, two
bands Of music pealed forth, and a
general good feeling was expressed at
the course pursued by the representa-
tives, who opposed the passage Of the
bill so earnestly. When the train
left, preparations wcre under way to
hold an indignation meeting express
sive O. the sentiments entertained for
those who supported and passed The
bill, and a hanging in efigy was talked
Of. The people in Robertson are al
