An at- tempt to cause an explosion, or mak: ing or keeping of explosives with in. tent to cause explosion is made pun- ishable by imprisonment of 20 {9!", and the unlawful making of keeping of explosives under suspicious circum- stances is punishable by 14 years im- prisonment. All accessorles to such orimes are to be treated as principale. Provision is made in the bill for the ordering of official inquiries into the orimes specified; for the arrest of absconding witnesses, and for searching for explosives. Penal- tles @ aro to be inflicted {rrespective of the damage done by the explosives. The bill also empowers the master of any vessel to break open any packages to search for explosives Tne act appltes both to explosives proper and materlai for making them or to any machine or part thereof connected with them. The bill is not_retroactive. Harcourt in Introducing the bill sald the nature of the danger it sought to guard against was. well- known. We have to deal with an organizad plan agalnst all interests of soclety and with men who announce plans for wholesale murder and who ought to be treated as belonging to no natlon. Harcourt further ex- platned the measure wonid be a per- manent one. He was convinced the danger was very imminent. He would aot aek the house to go further to- night with the bill than the committee stage. The spesch was heartlly cheered, especlally by the tory members.

DusuiN, April 9.--Judge O'Brien Informed the grand jury that the cass of the attack upon Juror Fieid would not be called until after the ordinary business of the commission was dis- posed of. Addressing the special jurors, he spoke of the importance and gravity of the Phosalx park mar- der caso. He pointed tothe exlstence of regularly organized sccrat societles held together for the purpose of com mittiog morder. Members of such societies actually guilty of taking the lives of thelr fallow balngs,and those guilty of assisting and encouraging them, wereclearly guilty of murder. The latter were eqaally gutlty with the former. But mere membership in the soclety, even though it might be formed with » general object to commit murder did not necessarily make members guilty of that specific crime. If the jury belleved the avidence the orown would prodnce it was thelr duty to brirg in a true bill against the per- sone accused, He dwelt on the enor- mity of the crime which had as if by magic brought a dark cloud over the bright favorable prospect that it seomed was about to open for Ireland. The judge Informed the jury that the crown would allege that the murder of Lord #rederick Cavendlsh was not a part of the orlginal design of the Phosiix park assassing; that ho was o victim on account «f being at the time in company with Barke. The crowa would claim, however, that al! persons present at the time of the murder wore responsiblo for the killlng of Lord Frederick, and were therefore acosssories betore the fact; that those who were not present were responsible only for the murder of Baurke, which was a premedited act on their part. Tae lives taken on the 6th of May last were sacred and dear to the people. He had not, for his part, the least misgiving that the jury would be found falthfal In the dis- . charge of their onerous duty. Brady, In the dock, wore a caroless and defiant demesnor, as at the hear- h’fhc grand jury found s true bill for taken on the bill as they expected it would be considered longer in com- mittee, The bill finally passed the commons and was immediately sent to the lords where it was adopted with out delay.
