On one of the dynamitors who was recently appro hended at Birmingham several bonibs were tonnd of the most dangerous and deadly barnster. One of them exploded, by way of experiment, in a room in which a dozen figures to represent on wars placód, in- ficting on these duramies no less than 108 wounda, a large number of which would have proved immediately fatal in the case of living figures. These are the instruments of destruction from which no Londonor who goes into the street at the present tinio an feel absolutely secure.
