losDox, January 25.—The west end of
Westminster Hell is full of wreckage,
caused by yesterday'* explosion. The de-
itructioo of the magnificent stained glass
is the window at the end of the hall is
greatly lamented. The tracery and mould-
ingsof the windows were alao damaged.
Ilia bslieved that one of the conspirators
entered the crypt, passiog s policeman st
the entrance, and deposited an infernal
machine at the bottom of the steps. The
policeman had his suspicions aroused and
removed the parcel, which exploded,
making a hole in llie floor three feet in
dismet r, twisting the iron railings and
smashing the iron and lead work of all the
vioiiws in the hall. The policeman's
hair was singed and hia face burned.
Bis clothing was torn from his
body hr tbs force of tiie explosion
Be is still elite, bat no hope Is entertained
of his recovery. The man and woman
who drove from the Parliament Buildings
immediately before the explosion and who
were arrested on suspicion have been
liberated, the evidence against them being
insufficient to hold them. Toe found*' ion
of the ball is uninjured bat the root le
bsdly damaged. Slates were blown from
the roof and the atone work shows white
patches. The bases of the statues of Wil
liam IV. and George IV., which were
overturned by the explosion, are greatly
injured.

A SKETCH OF THE TOWER

The Tower of London, as tlready pointed
out, ta the name given toe fortress In the heart
Of the Eighth metropolis, covering twelve
seres and resting upon the Thames. It la sur
rounded upon three sides by s deep moat and
walls mounted with cannon. These walla are
broken at Intervals bytowera, and other'de*
tached buildings called towers aud chapelt
stand within the enclosure.
OUTER WAEO.
The Tower ot Loudon dates back nearly a
thousand years, though the addition, which

between the atx hundred years that followed.
principal fortifications consist of a null
chain ol towers on the aide next to the Thames,
o( which were erected in the reign ol Henry
1216-72. Tho approach to the Tower used
be defended by outworks, but these

AXOTHKR ARREST.
The police hare arretted another man
on suspicion of complicity In Saturday's
crimes. He will be examined this after
noon at the Bow street courL James Gil
bert Cunningham, who was arrested yes
terday on suspicion of having had some
thing to do with the Tower outrage, was
examined to-day at Bow street station.
The charge of having canted the explo
sion at the Tower was preferred against
him. He declared that he was an English
man. Evidence was adduced showing
that the man gave contradictory replies at
the time of his arrest.
A rumor was current last evening and
this morning that Cunningham, who was
arrested at the Tower, would have a hear
ing to day at the Thames Police Court, in
Arbor street. The report caused the court
and streets in the vicinity to be crowded
with excited citizens, and extra police had
to be placed on duty to keep order. The
feeling against Cunningham Is very hitler,
and if he bad fallen into their hands there
is no doubt he would have been lynched,
Hhortly alter noon It was learned that de
tectives had arrested another man, and he
and Cunningham would us arraigned at
the Bow Street Police Court. The people
in the vicinity of the Thames Police Court
then left in the direction of Bow street,
A WABXIitO LITTER.
The letter received by the police officials
yesterday is now believed to be a very iin
portent document. In addition to other
valuable information it states that 8t<
Pant’s Cathedral and the office of the
Daily Telegraph are among the buildings
which the dynamiters threaten to blow
np.
Westminster Hall and the Tower are
closed to every one except officials engaged
in inspecting the structures. Many per
sons carrying parcels on the streets to-day
have t een stopped by the police and the
parcels examined before they were per
mitted to pass on.
DISCUSSION AT A LAND LEAGUE MEETING.
Dublin, January 20 —At a meeting of
the local branch of the National League
held st Clonmel today, Town Councilman
Phelan took the floor and spoke in justifi
cation of Saturday’s outrages st London.
Approaching a climax, he cried out: “So
1 ng as England withholds Ireland’s just
riguts, these explosions by dynamite will
continue.”
Tols declaration raised such a furions
storm of dissent that Phelan was sil.nced
and retired to hia seat. Then the Catholic
priest who waa presiding over the meeting
took up the issue. He denounced the work residences thVlilngt who, up to th
of theuysmltsrs as an outrage against Ire- Charles II., occasionally held their

CUNNINGHAM IN COURT.
Cunningham was conveyed to the Bow
Street Police Conn toolay by a strong
guard of police. He was th ere charged on
suspicion withconroliclty in the explosion
at the Tower ol London. He smilingly
surveyed the court and crowd which had
congregated within to get a glimpse of tbe
alleged dynamiter. His exsminstiun
tended to convince the police that in ar
resting Cunningham they bad secured a
prisoner who had atieaaigmtty knowledge
of Saturday's crimes. -It was proven that
Cunningham was a native of Cork; that he
had lived at leastfive years in the United
States; that he arrived in England
during last autumn and came directly
from New York. His pretense that he wae

closed space opposite the river side.
Tbe grand suito of Queen'i
meats was a striking feature. It was
tbe scene of tho wedding festivities that fol
lowed the marriage of Henry III aud Eleanor
Of Provence. This monarch greatly improved
the premises and also the Chapel Royal in the
White Tower, of which we ahull speak later.
In this latter tower Edward III used to bold
court, and hero King John of Kraucc, while a
prisoner, entertained Edward and hit coart.
The Tower of Londou has known gorgeous
as well as gloomy scenes. In 1X77 Hit-hard II
issued from its gates clad in white to receive
bis crown which, twenty years later, he was to
resign to the usurper and court death in a
dungeon. During his reign, however, the
chronicles tell of brilliant assemblages of fair
ladles and brave men, richly capraisoned
steeds and glittering knights within (oe Tower
walls. It was in the Tower also that in 1501
Henry VII held a magnificent tournament
Prince Arthur’s marriage day.
In 1487, Kllzabctb of York, Queen of Henry
VII. pasted to her corona ion from the Tower
to Westminster, arrayed In cloth of gold, her
hair unbound, and ner head adorned with a
K ldenciicltt set with gems. Sixteen years
>r, clau|in white sgalu, they bore her forth
to Weittnlns'er, dead. For twelve d<ys pre
vious sh- had lain in state within the White
Tower, who»e windows were lined with rows
of light surrounded by the mournful ladles
of her coart aud men at-arms. Here, within
tbe regal halls, did Henry Vlll give to his six
q 'tans their glittering reception aud corona
tion procession*. Poor Anno Boltyn! Hers
was the grandvst of all. The Thamts brought

canid find among the bushe, and high
grass. This lira was vary well directed
and was moat disastrous in it, effect upon
the British troops. Tweite men were roon
•hot dead and forty others were stricken
diwn with ugly wounds.
Among the firet killed were Mr. Catner-
i, vpecul correspondent of tbe London
Standard, and Mr. Herbert, apeclal corre-
npondeut of the London Post. Gen. Stew
art waa one of tiie very firet to be wounded
He was shot in the thigh. When be was
struck the work of making the a ireba wa,
all but completed, and tbe army had been
nnt In motion to form its battle array.
iThlt wa, a hollow square. The square was
formed In the following o’der:
In front, the naval brigade and
the Grenadier Guards; on the right
il tnk, the Coldstream Guard, and tbe Scot,
Greys; on the lait flank, the mounted in
fan; ry, anil on tbe rear the 8uesex regiment
and heavy camel corps. Av soon a, com
pleted the square advanced under a steady
ambush fire a diltanea of two mile,. AG
this point the enemy began t > move upon
the eqoare in two large echelons. Tome
were directed against the Brlt'sb right
front, which stood unmoved. Daring the
rebel charge the Kogllvh troop, forming
the assailed front delivered tertitic fire,
aimed right at the enemy’s middle wing.l
This fire cut down men in such heaps that
they formed actual obstacle, and inter
fered so seriously with the avenue;, n c-
esaary to the success of the onslaught that
I Its centre line waa brought to a standstill
about sixty yards from the British front
line. The force of the general movement
threw the unimpeded parte of the line like
the ends of broken limh-r around tbe cor-
n .ra of tbe square, and the rebel, an die-
placedwere simply cut to piece,. From
this ou the warfare was n dis-
nitrous to the rebel, av it was
irregular an their aide. When the enemy’s
line waa broken, the Atubs seemed to creak I
np into bands, each of which waged war
|ou it, own account. A large detachment,
mostly on horseback, went bank to attack
the Ksreba. This wav garrisoned by a
body of English soldiers made up of little
deteehmeut, left behind by each corpsl
which bad gone forward in tho tqnaro
Lord Charles Breesford was in command.
He sustained the attack tor two hours,
when the enemy wa, compelled
■retreat. Daring the central attack npoa
e square only six men wero killed and
twenty-three wounded on the English side.
Cunt. Norton worked the guns daring this
fight, and hie firing did awful execution,
Dntiog the advance ot tbe main body
from tbe zareba, the gaprfaon left behind
at that point kent up a heavy fire from
their guns and rifle*. An effort waa mado
erect a small redoubt aomo fifty yards
■ the right of the zareha, under prote tion
of a steidy fire from the zareba. Daring
the erection of the rednnbt one man wav
killed and three were wounded. Lord
Cochrane, with forty men from the Life
Guards and Scute Greys, held the redoubt
and maintained n heavy fire throughout
the battle. They ded mnoh to repel the
constant rushes of the enemy. The 1 >*
of the rebels during tbe whole day are
