THE ATTACK UPON THE QUEEN.
THE ATTACK UPON THE QUEEN. From detailed accounts which have reached us of the occurrence briefly alluded to in our columns yesterday, it appears that the Royal cortefjc had returned by way of Constitution-hill, and had entered the Palace about half-past five by the north gate, passing thence through what is called the Garden Gate into the inner court- yard. A large crowd, whom the police were engaged in keeping back, had collected in front of the Palace to see the Queen, and cheered her as she entered. Her Majesty was attended by Lady Churchill, and had the usual escort, Major-General the Hon. A. Hardinge and Lord Charles Fitzroy being the Equerries. As the Queen was preparing to alight a lad suddenly presented himself at the side of the carriage, holding a paper in one hand and a pistol in the other. He tried at first, it is said, to attract the attention of Lady Churchill, mistaking her probably for the Queen, by whose side she sat, and then appeared to be about to address himself to Her Majesty, going round the back of the carriage, when the Equerries and the Queen's personal attendant, John Brown, followed him and gave him into custody of the police-sergeant on duty at the time. The Queen shewed no signs whatever of fear. The lad was immediately dis- armed of the pistol, which proved to be unloaded. It is an old-fashioned weapon, with a flint and steal lock, which was broken, and in the barrel a piece of greasy red rag was found. He had also a knife in his possession and the paper to which re- ference has been made, which on examination was .found to be a petition written on parchment, for the re- lease of the Fenian prisoners. He was taken forth- with to the King-street police station, where he gave the name Arthur O'Connor, and stated his age to be 17, adding that he was a clerk to Messrs. Livett and Franks, oil and colour manufacturers, 72, Blackman- street, Borough, and that he resided with his father and mother at 4, Church-row, Houndsditch. He is in appearance rather tall for his age, and slender. He wore a black felt hat, and was ordinarily well dressed in other respects for a person in his condition of life. He had managed to scale some iron railings, ten foot high, at the point where the garden wall abuts at a corner upon the Palace on its northern side, and had passed through the Garden Gate into the courtyard un- perceived, and, therefore, unchallenged. The theory of the police is that he contrived to accomplish this feat at the moment they and the porter were engaged in keeping the entrance clear for the return of Her Majesty. He has stated since his apprehension that ha bought the pistol at a shop in the Borough, and that he is a grandson of the late Mr. Feargus O'Connor. He was seen last evening by Dr. Bond, the medical officer connected with the police-station. The pistol found upon the prisoner was, at the re- quest of Mr. Gladstone, taken to the House of Com- mons, the better to enable him to answer anxious inquiries as to whether it was really unloaded when the prisoner was apprehended, and in the course of-lhe evening several members of Parliament called at the Station for the purpose of seeing the prisoner, but their request was very properly not complied with, he himself, moreover, showing much aversion to being seen in his cell by any one but the attendants. From another source we learn the following particu- lars :—On Thursday, after the diplomatic reception at Buckingham Palace, her Majesty went for a drive, and returned to the Palace through the garden gate at the foot of Constitution-hill at half-past five o'clock. About five hundred people had assembled at the gate to see the Queen's return, and the attention of Inspector Baker, with the few members of the Royal Household police actually on duty, was directed to the manage- ment of this small crowd. While this was going on a youth named Arthur O'Connor, residing in Blackman- street, Borough, and now declaring himself a clerk in the City, dropped over the railing of the forecourt at the bottom of Constitution-hill unperceived, and rushed up to the carriage as it was drawn up at the garden en- trance, presenting at the same time a pistel with one hand, and a paper with the other. Her Majesty, who did not even change colour, slightly drew back, and Lord Charles Fitzroy and General the Hon. Arthur E. Hardinge, the Lord and Equerry in waiting, darting forward, seized the fellow by the collar and handed him over promptly to the custody of Sergt. Jackson, 15 A. Meanwhile her Majesty quietly entered the door of Palace, and did not, as it might have been expected, suffer during the evening from the shock. The lad, for the prisoner is no more than between 17 and 18 years of age, was at once taken to the King-street Police-staticn, and Detective Inspector Williamson was entrusted with the duty of finding out his antecedents. He is an underbred-looking "Irish cockney," spare of figure, and rather fresh in his com- plexion, his general appearance being that of a small chandler's shopboy. A couple of hours after his arrival at King-street station he was examined by Dr. Bond, divisional surgeon, who pronounced him entirely sane and not even suffering under any form of mental ex- citement. The prisoner declares that he never meant to do the Queen any harm, and is sorry he has been the cause of so much trouble. A hang-dog look which marks his face when he feels eyes resting upon it is by no means prepossessing, but he seems rather an object for contempt than of danger. It is singular, but, at the same time, a gratifying circumstance, that the first impressions of public opinion on the dastardly proceeding came from work- ing men's meetings. Of all her Majesty's subjects out- side Parliament, Mr. George Odger had the honour of taking the lead in denouncing the disloyal outrage. He presided on Thursday night at a meeting of Democratic delegates, held at the White Horse Tavern, to arrange for the intended demonstration against the Parks Regu- lations Bill. Before saying a word about the business of the evening, he declared that if the report as to the attempt on her Majesty's life were true, he felt sure every man in the room, no matter how advanced his political opinions might be, would denounce, in the most indignant manner, such a cowardly action. The thousands whom they represented woijld have deeply" lamented the success of any attempt, Rot merely to take the life, but, in any way, to cause personal suffer- ing to the Lady who now occupied the throne. Sen- tence after sentence of this statement was loudly cheered by Mr. Odger's audience, and thorough execration of the proceeding could, be read on every countenance.
EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL…
EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF THE ACCUSED. [BY SPECIAL TELEGRAM.] L At Bow-slgeet police court, yesterday afternoon, be- fore Sir Thomas Henry, the young man, Arthur O'Connor, w*s charged with presenting a pistol at Her Majesty, Yjalh the intent to frighten the Queen. John Brown stated that he was in the service of Her Majesty, and that just as the royal carriage stopped at the private entrance to Buckingham Palace, within the iron railings, he opened the door, and 6aw the prisoner between the two equerries, Lord Charles Fitzroy and General Hardinge, who were in attendance upon Her Majesty. Lord Charles Fitzroy pushed the prisoner back, and he went round to the other side of the car- riage where the Queen sat. Witness took him by the neck, and he dropped a pistol which he held in his hand. His Royal Highness Prince Leopold, deposed that he pat facing Lady Churchill, and that his brother, Prince Arthur, sat facing the Queen. As the carriage stopped, a movement on the part of Prince Arthur attracted his attention, and caused him to turn towards the Queen, when he saw the prisoner's head, just above the door on his right hand, pointing a pistol within a foot of the Queen's face. General Hardinge. deposed to having seen the paper taken from the prisoner's pocket, beginning: "I Vic- toria, by the grace of God," and containing a promise to grant a free pardon to all Fenian prisoners now in custody. The prisoner, a weak-looking youth, contradicted only one or two minute points in the evidence, and was committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court.

(ftomspttdence* THANKSGIVING DAY IN MERTHYR. To the Editor of the SOUTH WALES DVILY NEWS. SIR,—In your impression of to-day you state, in refer- ence to the Thanksgiving Day in Wales," that little no- tice was taken of it in Merthyr. Now, I beg to inform you that such was not the case The congregation as- sembled at St. David's Church was very large, exclusive of the school children. Most of the tradesmen closed their shops-not, as you say, only about half-a-dozen" —soon after mid-day. Considering the authorities" did not take the matter in hand, I think the people of Mer- thyr were not so far behind in their loyal demonstration as you were led to suppose. I may add that the services at St. David's were distin- guished from the ordinary service, by being fully choral. It commenced by the choir and congregation heartily sing- ing the Thanksgiving hymn, hymn No. 238 in •' Hymns Ancient andModern," and Mendelssohn's splendid anthem, I waited for the Lord," was sung, as was also the Rev. J. S. Stone's hymn to the prescribed tune.-I am, &c., A TRADESMAN. THE CARMARTHEN SCHOOL BOARD. To the Editor of the SOUTH WALES DAILY NBWS. SIR,—When it became evident that increased school accommodation must be provided at Carmarthen, the Church party proceeded to erect schools, although the increased accommodation was required for the children of Dissenters, there being already ample room in the National schools for the children of all Church-going- people. It so happened that the Corporation owned an old building, which had been leased for the purpose of a Church school. The rent had been unpaid for years, the covenants of the lease had been broken, and the lessees had allowed the building to get into a ruinous state. Then one of the railway companies bought the building, and the lessees were allowed by the Corporation to receive nearly all the purchase money. How it occurred, that our Town Council suffered this I have never been able to understand. The money received by the lessees was used in the building of one of the new schools called the School Church." The church party having built their unsuitable schools, and having done so, in a great measure, out of the money of the ratepayers, and having been refused a cool request that the Corporation would allow them to enclose the pavement in front of their school- church," opposed the application of the Town Council for a School Board, on the ground that the school accom- modation, including the unsuitable schools they were building, was sufficient. However, in spite of their ut- most opposition, a School Board was ordered to be formed. Then, in order to avoid a contest, it was arranged that four members of the Board should be nominated by the Liberals and the other three by the Conserva- tives. The Conservatives first violated an important condition of the arrangement, and afterwards abstained from nominating their candidates. The result was that the Liberals nominated the seven members of the Board, and it is their own fault that, when they had the game in their own hands, they did not select men upon whom they could rely to carry out a Liberal policy. Your cor- respondent Lector" has shown that the effect of com- pulsion in the present state of school accommodation at Carmarthen would be to drive the children of Dissenters into Church schools. I cannot agree with him that Mr. Smith (who voted with the Tories on the ques- tion of compulsion), has crowned himself with honour." He took an illogical course, under the circumstances, in supporting compulsion and opposing the payment of fees. We must have suitable accommodation before compulsion can be used and, in the meantime, let the Board remit the fees of poor children in its own schools. The Liberal members of the Board (Messrs. Morgan, Evans, and Lewis) deserve, not crowns of honour, but merely the thanks due to men who have faithfully performed their pledges and done their duty. When their term of office expires they must be re-elected, with a new member of the same stamp as themselves and the other members of the board must, if they seek re-election, seek it at the hands of the lories.—Yours, &c., Carmarthen.
