The Dynamite consp1rators i'm Court.

The Dynamite COnsp1ratOrs i'm Court.
 LIVERPOOL, Aug 7.--The trials of the dynamite conspirators were begun to-day, the government having made the most strenuous efforts to procure evidence and secure the tes timony of trustworthy witnesses. It is un- derstood that it was in this connection that the man supposed to be James McDermott. an American journalist, was arrested yester- day. He is said to have given the informa- ton to the British government which lead originally to the arrests of O'Herlihy, Feath- erstone, Deasy, Flannigan and Dalton, in whose possession dynamite was found under circumstances which lead to the belief that it was to be used to blow up public buildings. The five men were arraigned and entered pleas of not guilty, the government opening the cases at once.

 The whole shore, as far as we could see, literally glittered with sheets of tin, once packing cases, but now broken up into frag ments, battered and crinkled by the action oi waves and stones. Though almost all that could be called salvage had already been re moved, the bsach was still thickly strewn with traces of the wreck-spars, blanks, bro- ken barrels and packing cases, bales of paper, half buried beneath the ever shifting peb- bles, tongues, chesses and other stores, all destroyed with salt water, sardine cases and turnips innumerable. The water was still full of floating fragments and spirit cases barrels and portmanteaus were washed to and fro by the waves, while men stood by with rope-nooses ready to draw ashore whatever might come within their reach. All the ser viceabie rainent which had been washed ashore had already been secured, but there still remained an amazing number of torn straw bonnets and women's hats I noticed one girls hat from which the waves had washed the trimming, only to replace it with new one, scarcely less brilliant than the gay flowers which, but few hours before, had been the pride of some young lassie-perhaps one of those whose life had passed away in the darkness of that terrible night Now the poor battered straw was wreathed with green and crimson seaweeds, and from that strange ly suggestive garland gathered a little branch of coraline, inerusted with tiny shells. as 8 touching memorial of the wreck. A weather beaten tar standing near me picked up the tube of an infants feeding bottle as similar relic, and on every side gleeful children shouted in their careless mirth while collect ing treasures, the bitter import of which they so little understood. Just before we reached the beach the waves had yielded up two more of their dead, and as the bodies were carried ashore, poor fellow pressed forward through the crowd of idlers to claim that of his wife. Others were still missing, and two boats were plying to and fro along the coast, watching for any which might still float up from the deep. Ere long one more rewarded theiI search, and as we turned to leave that wreck. strewn strand we noted the scattered group of idlers gathering to one point to await the ! landing of the boat. and the last picture that met our eyes was the little bark with its dis nal freight, rowed silently by strong, willing arms, and cutting darkly against the lurid glow of an orange sunset, while great banks of purple and leadsn clouds foretold how quickly the treacherous calm would be suc- ceeded by gales more violent than any we had yet experienced.

cetevvayo,s Death Dspied.

LONDON, Aug. 7.-The death of Cetewayo is denied and the slaughter to which his forces were subjected is said to have been greatly exaggerated. His defeat is unques- tioned, but the information officially received here leads to the belief that he has found a refuge somewhere in the northern limits of the colonial government of Natal. There can be little doubt of his safety. since one of his staunchest friends, Doctor Colenso, tele- graphs to-day that the King is alive and in his behalf demands an inquiry into the treat
 nsnt which he has received since he was re- turned to his people by the British govern. ment. The dispatch is dated from Pieter- maritzburg and is regarded az authoritative, the Colensos having always taken great in terest in Cetewayo and in the semi-civilized tribes at whose head he was.
 The government is in receipt of despatches from MT. Osborne, the government agent at Pietermaritzburg, stating that he has infor- nation that Cetewsyo is still alive and on English ground. He does not. however, credit the report.
