d An inspection of the Parliament build
inrs to-day showed that excepting the
beautiful window overlooking the stair
case ut the south end OF Westminster
Hall scarcely pane Of glass escaped de-
struction. The foundations of the build
iugs we're sadly shaken; the roof of the
crypt IN spite of its massive strength
WAS greatly damaged, riffs being visible
here and there. The floor CT the House
of Commons presents q strange spec
taele being covered with heaps Of mas
sive fragments; the deliberately carved
oaken wall behind the seats beneath the
gallery was completely thrown down.
The flooring of the strangers and
Speakers galleries is so torn up that it is
deemed unsafe to venture across.
The peers gallery suffered the
most damage. The side gal
leries and reporters gallery were not
injured. The parcel which caused the
first explosion, was wrapped in brown
cloth and was two feet long, by one
loot wide. A gentleman complains that
the shock of the explosion broke one
Of his blood vessels.
The Queen sent a telegram to-day in
uuiriag as to the condition of the in

ply was sent stating that both were pro-
crossing iayorably.
