the two cases found on Monday last in
barge on the Thames shows that they are
not explosives, as believed, but only fire
works.
LONDON, April 1.-THE bullion with
drawn from the Bank of England on bal
ance to-day was $4,000.
LONDON, April 1.-THE sample of nitro
glycerine seized at London last week at
the time of the arrest of Norman, Gallagh-
er, Dalton and Wilson was exploded to-day
at Woolwick in order to test its quality.
The explosion was terrific, the ground for
a distance of several yards from the spot
where the explosion occurred was torn up.
LONDON, April 1.-THE elective connclPs
Ireland bill,embodying Heely's scheme for
trial of self government in Ireland, was
rejected by the commons this afternoon by
vote of So in favor of the bill to 231
against.
Trevelyan, chieflIsecretary for Ireland,
having shown spirit of opposition to the
bill, Parnell, present only for brief
time, accused him of showing the Yeadi-
ness to speak to order, and turn his back
upon his former principles. He, Trevel-
yan, and many of his colleagues, had sup
ported similar bill brought in by DR..

He sincerely hoped that the question which
had already provoked such an EXTENDED
controversy, would now be left to re-
formed parliament, and to very different
ministry.
LONDON, April 1.-THE police claim to
have enough testimony to convict the dyn-
amite plotters, without Norman.
DUBLIN, April 1.-THE trial of Brady on
of cb ri
Burke began this morning. Notwithstand-
standing the fact was known that all alb
sentees would be fined 9100, many Jurors
on the panel failed to appear. The case
for the crown was opened by Porter. He
pointed out to the jury that the duty they
were called upon to perform was one of
the most serious that could fall upon citi-
Zens. He exhorted them to dismiss from
their minds altogether anything they had
read or heard of the connection of the
case, and be guided by the evidence pro-
duced at the trial.
Porter described the crime as one of un-
paraIleled atrocity "a crime that had
shocked the whole civilized world. He re-
counted with vivid imagery the well-known
details of the affair, and paid warm trib-
ute to the character and life of Burke and
Cavendish. He gave the particulars of the
organization of the "Invincibles," who he
said doubtless looked upon themselves as
an invincible band; but the law was stronger
than all. Those connected with the plot
looked upon them as guilty in the eyes of
God, as was Brady. He declared the OBJ
ject of the conspiracy was to remove" all
whom they regarded as tTrants, probably
with the ultimate purpose Of forming
a republic, of which four original leaders
of the murderous gang, Mullett, McCaf-
frey, Curley and Carey would be leading
spirits. He referred to Sheridan's share
in the crime, and his undertaking to pro-
vide arms when there should be call for
them. Brady and men of his class were
among those always prepared for murder,
but they were, without doubt, entirely in
different as to the ultimate objects of that
murder. Brady was at hand when various
ambushes were laid for Forster.
The counsel for the defense interposed
an earnest protest against the crown coun-
sci being suffered by the court to prejudice
the jury against the prisoner Brady, by
making assertions like these, which could
not be proved.
The judge refused to interfere, and Porter,
concluding, declared that if Carey be put
upon the witness stand, there was no alb
solute rule of law which would prevent the
court from accepting his evidence unac-
companied by any other testimony, but
there certainly could be no valid objection,
when, as would happen in the present case,
there would be produced conclusive and
corroborating evidence to fortify Carey's.
This case should teach one lesson-that
there could be no honor among members
of such a society. The men who had in
stigated it and warmed it into life, men
who had supplied it with funds, which en-
couraged it to carry On its designs, had
fed to foreign lands: If there was any
| further proof required of how the con-
| spirators deserted those unlawfully leagued
with them, it was furnished by the fact
that the crown had even in this case been
compelled to provide means for defending
| Brady from this terrible charge.
The first witness called was Farrell, an
| informer, who testified at the preliminary
examination of prisoners at Kilmainham
court house. He repeated the testimony
given at that time.
During the examination of Farrell the
| counsel for the prisoner again protested
against the introduction of matters foreign
to the present charge relating only to at
tempts made against the life Of Forster.
Judge OBrien said only such evidence
was admissible in the present case, as
tended to connect the prisoner with con-
spiracy. Farrel's evidence went to show
Brady was associated with members of the
inner circle, and was secretary to Curley.
James Carey was the next witness. and
his evidence was the same as before given.
Carey was in the witness box an hour and
three-quarters. He gave a detailed ac-
count of the formation of the ''Invinci-
/ bles," but was not allowed to go into the
plots against the lives of Forster and Earl
CowPer. While Carey was testifying Bra
d. followed the evidence closely. and fire.
quently sent notes to his solicitor. Carey
became perfectly cool in demeanor toward
| the close of the evidence. One of the
knives found in Ringland basin was pro
duced, that Carey might identify il az the
one supplied by Sheridan from london.
Murphy, crown counsel. stated that the au-
| thcrities know who "No. ~ IS, and ex-
