aud gave the alarm. Soon after the river
police were making as minute an examlna-
ton as possible Of the buttress Of the bridge
and The wharves on each bank Of the river
Their search, however, was fruitless. Day
hght showed that not single stone had been
displaced by the shock. Taking this fact
into consideration, experts are unanimously
OF the opinion that the explosive agent used
was thrown over the bridge and exploded in
the air, or on striking the water. Toward
noon, however, wharfer Informed the po-
lice that few minutes before the explo-
sion he saw a boat containing three men
under the arch on the Surrey side. He took
no particular notice Of them, thinking they
were river police, and did not see the boat
afterwards. he supposes that they proceeded
down the river. The police, this afternoon,
learned that piece Of charred saeking,
about foot and half square, had been
found on one Of the buttresses, and are now
OF the opinion that the explosive was placed
there. They attribute the smallness of the
damage to the extraordinary air currents be-
meath the span. No arrests have been
made.
The newspapers throw no light on the ex-
plosion. Most all the statements were sur
misses. The Telegraph says: 'sThe newest
Fenian outrage falls far below its predecessors
in actual mischief. Some persons incline to
the belief that gunpowder and not dynamite
was used. II is a noteworthy fact that Sat
urday was the seventeenth anniversary Of
the Carkenwell explosion. The windows Of
the building Of Rollins 81 Co, American
merchants, suffered severely. The customs
officer states that after the explosion he OBJ
served small steam launch, carrying one
mast forward, pass at high rate of speed
down the river. Strangely enough, at the time
Of the explosion, the inspector and two con-
stables were watching the bridge from boat,
a precaution which has been adopted nightly
for the past two years. They saw nothing
before the explosion TO arouse their suspicious,
and made q minute search afterwards but
could discover nothing Of a suspicious char
acter. Some witnesses saw three distinct
flashes. Several horses drawing heavy loads
were thrown TO the ground. Engine drivers
sitting in shed on Cannon street were
hurled from their seats. Persons passing
over the bridge at the time Of the explosion,
say column of water was thrown TO a great
height, drenching the people. Detectives
were recently withdrawn from special duty
Precautions have been resumed at the rail-
way depots in regard to the receipt OF parcels.
During the stampede on the bridge a wo-
man was knocked down by q cab. This was
the only case Of serious injury. One account
Of the explosion states that after ii happened
there was peculiar sulphurous smell notice
able, quite unlike gun powder. A large
steamer, unloading within a hundred yards
of the place was unchanged.
HE Is AN ENGLIsHNAS.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Earl Of Morley,
Liberal member OF the house OF lords, and
under secretary Of war, addressed an audi
ence at Plymouth to-day. He deeply de-
plored that a hosdle spirit, engendered in
Ireland by differences and bad government,
had not been appeased by legislation in the
past twelve years. Never" be said, chad
der iustice-nay, more than justice-to
Ireland than the present one. The
redistribution bill is Il treaty Of ungrudging
generosity, and yet hostility remains mani
tested from time to time in the wicked out
RACES and the returning to parliament of the
avowed enemies Of England prepared to OBJ
struct In every way all beneficial legislation. {"
1t would undoubtedly be necessary in 1855
to renew the coercion act, else there would
be q certainty Of the revival OF out
RACES and laWlessness. While Civ
ing Ireland the largest measure
Of justice, England must, the Earl OF Morley
said, be firm, and never for a moment allow
it TO be supposed she viii consent that the
union shall be dissolved. In regard TO
Egypt he said England could never allow any
other European power TO occupy prominent
position.
