Several Persons Injured.

London May 30. A serious dynamite outrage was perpetrated this evening in St. James' i Sqaare, Pall Mall. The facts show that three separate explosions occurred almost simultaneously on different sides of the Square, causing considerable damage to several buildings. In the neighborhood of those that suffered most were houses occupied by the Army and Navy Club and Junior Carlton Club, the windows of both buildings being shattered to atoms. So far as is at present known, no persons have been injured. , <

Midnight! , Another outrage was committed at a late hour this evening in Great Scotland yard, Whitehall, where a violent explosion of dynamite took place, causing serious damage to buildings, and injuries of a more or less severe character to several persons in the neighborhood of the explosion. ■■■■_-■ May 31 (morning). Further particulars show that by the explosion in St. James' Square the kitchen of the Junior Carlton Club was completely wrecked, and that several club servants were severely injured, though none fatally. It has also now been ascertained that the explosion in Great Scotland yard caused immense damage to the buildings occupied by the official Criminal Investigation Department, and other premises in the neighborhood. The dynamite had been deposited in the urinal of the police office, where the explosion occurred. Four persons have been injured ; one of them, a constable, very severely.

Latee.

Another Outrage AttemptedIntelligence has now been received that another outrage was nearly perpetrated last evening in Trafalgar Square, Charing Cross. The explosives which were there discovered deposited at the base of' Nelson column were sixteen cakes of dvbamite, with fuse attached. The discovery, fortunately, was made in time to prevent'an explosion, which would certainly have destroyed the column.

The news of last night's occurrences has caused great consternation throughout the metropolis. The explosions and the attempt at one in Trafalgar Square were, there is no doubt, the outcome of an organised plot, but, so far as is known, no clue has yet been obtained to the perpetrators.
