terday afternoon. 1t was caused by
three boys, John Phillips, son of the

magazine, a wooden structure, as q
target for rifle practice. They
were instantly killed, and their bodies
frightfully mangled and burned were
hurled from so to 200 yards away.

FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, January 5.-Regarding
the mandamus to be applied for in
the court of the Queens Bench, to
quash the resolution, passed by the
Dublin corporation conferiing the
freedom of the city on Messrs. Dill
Ion and Parnell, the Dublin corres~
pondent of the Times says: IF the
point shall be established by the
Queens Bench that Noone, who is
not Burgess, can undoe an existing
clause of the corporation act and
receive the freedom of the city,
it would vitiate all the votes Of
such freedom which have been
passed. If anybody chooses to press
it, then the names Of Gladstone and
General Grant would be erased from
the roll. Rut it is questionable
whether they would regret being de-
prived Of a distinction which has al
ready lost much OF it's value by rea-
son of disafection and disloyalty
added to it by the recent proceed
ings.

rule in Ireland, the Earl said :
America is not despotic or reac>

she dealt with secession, and were
shown soon and how thoroughly the
traces of a sanguinary conflict has
disappeared. L do not see why we
should show less determination OF
