English news to 13th June says that a daring attempt has been made to rescue the prisoners M'Grath and Kevett, the Fenians who are confined in Liverpool Gaol on the charge of attempting to blow up the Liverpool Town Hall with dynamite. The warders had previously received the alarm, and when the mob assembled in front of the prison, they made their appearance arnled. The would-be rescuers, numbering about 300 finding that preparations had been made to resist an attack retreated. The military have been called out to guard the prison. Walsh, one of the traversers in the recent trial of Land Leaguers in Dublin, whose departure had previously been cabled from England, arrived in the Ben Cruachen at Melbourne, and is now abont to address audiences on the subject of the Land League. He spoke at the Holtham Town Hall on 13th Juno, about 800 people were present, and described the sufferings of the tenants through evictions. A resolution of sympathy with Parnell and the Land League was carried by acclamation.
