FENIANISM. TIIE CLERKENWELI. OUTRAGE.  The coroner's jury are in a difficulty. They want MuHolly to be brought before them, and Mr. llartlysays be thinks it is illegal to allow prisoners to be taken to coroner's courts. The coroner is naturally of the jury's opinion, but he thinks it would be better to wait until the legal question can be submitted to Parliament. The :ary are in favour of immediate action, and at their ~ ',lest Dr. Lankester is to write to Mr. 'lardy, askitil it Mullany may be produced. This is a very old ilaiieulty, bat it seems as fir off a settlement now as , or. Dr. Lankester says the dignity of a coroner's court ought to be considered a little; if a magistrate, sitting alone, can have wituc-ses brought before him, why ninnot a coroner who has a jury to help him! The jury . .  _ a !mit they have evidence enongh before them to proL.llince on the cause of the deaths—namely, the expl.sion—but without Mullany they say they can find no verdict as to the cause of the explosion. They met on Friday, bat from these hindrances they could do little to advance the business in hand, and they agreed on an adjournment for three weeks. Timothy Desmond, William Desmond, Jeremiah Allen, John O'Keefe, William Barrett, James O'Neill, Nicholas English, and Anne Jostice, the persons charged with murder, arising out of the Clerkenwell outrage, were again placed at the dock at Bow-street, on Tuesday, before Sir Thomas Henry, for further examination. The prisoner Patrick Mullauy, who was formerly charged with the above persons with murder, now stands charged with the minor offence of treason-felony, in consequence of his having turned Queen's evidence. After some additional evidence had been given, Mr. Gifford said that he now proposed to have the depositions read over, and then he should ask his worship to formally remand the prisoners for a week in order that the depositions might be completed, and after that he shoult ask to have the whole of the prisoners coinnutted for trial upon the charge of murder upon the evidence he had produced. The prisoner Mullany be should ask to have committed for treason-felony. Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, then proceeded to read the depositions of the witnesses, at the conclusion of which the prisoners were removed back to Millbank.  THE CHARGE OF FEN) ANNA AGAINST A  Si I Eii Ft'.  The charge of Fenianism lootmlit against Mr. Thomas Simon, the sheriff of the island of Al lunacy, seems to have arisen out of a very trumpery affair, which makes all concerned in it look very ridiculous. It appears that Mr. Silloll was in a shop in Alderney, where there happened to be at the same time ten omen, natives of the island. A newspaper lying on the counter led the conversation on to Fenianism and the Manchester executions, when Mr. Simon said in French that "the Government would do well not to hang any more as England would suffer from these hangings, and it would serve her right," adding, "If the Fenians should come to Alderney, I'll show them the way." These treasonable words being repeated to the magistrates as they sat in court, his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor was communicated with, and his advice in this emergency asked for. Ills Excellency declined giving any, and told the court they might do as they pleased. They adopted the let er suggestion, and suspended Mr. Simon from his office, admitting him to bail, and referred the cab to the consideration of the Royal Court of Guernsey. This tibuimul, seeing the ridiculousness of the charge, at once quashed the pro needless and ordered the liberation of Mr. Simon.  ANOTHER MARTELL° TOWER ATTACKED BY
