THE DISCOVERY OF INFERNAL MACHINES.  As regards the discovery at Paddington Station it is stated that there was one notable article found in the portmanteau—a copy of the New York Sun of the 6th of Fehr iary, 1881. The endeavour to set up an explosive manufacture in this country having failed, the outragemongers, to all apporance, have fallen back upon the plan of importing their materialtfrom America. Taere is one point in these discoveries which has caused astonishment even in official circles and this io ho s large quantities of this dangerous explosive could have passed through the Custom House of this country. Travellers from the Continent know that their luggage is often rigerously searched on their arrival. But here it is plain that tit least 901 b. of an explosive compound of the most dangerous character has been allowed to slip through the fingers of the Custom House officers, and this, tco, for what may be culled the land of tobacc Colonel MO endie ccncludod his inquiry on Friday respecting tne explosion at Victoria station. The discoveries at Charing Cross and Paidinst in have c 'n firmed the opinion which he had previously formed respecting the caiise of the Victoria explosion. The two pa cels of dynamlt found at Charing Cross and Paidington stations have been compared at Woolwich Laboratory, and found to correspond precisely in character and most precisely in quanti y, while the firing apparat is and mode of attaching the heparato parts aro nearly identical. Precautions similar to those which led to the discovery of th plots at Charing Cross anl Paddington have been adopted at all the railway termini in the tuelr)polig. At several of the stations det.ctivea have b:ea specially told off t watol the cloak rooms with a view to detain persons leaving parcels of a suspicious appearance. It is not believed that the persons responsible for Monday night's conspiracy remain in London. It is painted nut that in each instance tee package was deposited in sufficient time to allow the owner to leave by the night mail, and it is believed that the thn e infernal machines were all intended to take effect at midnight. The directars of the Great Western Railway Company have C3OlO to no decision as yet respecting a reward, and it is not improbable that the three companies will offer a joint reward with the Governto cut.
