OUTRAGE IN DUBLIN.

'I'.Y EIiKCTKIC TELWiItAHI.—COrYRHiHT). London, December 21. A I'OiiTio.v of the Dublin Detoctivo Office has been injured by the explosi hi of a dynamite bomb. Constable Sinnot was killed, his body being horribly mutilated. The front, of the building was wrecked. December 20. The Detective Office, the scene of the dynamite outrage, adjoins Dublin Castle. Sinnott, the constable who was killed, kicked the explosive, which was lying on the pathway, thereby partly saving the building. The library of Mr J. Morlcy (the Chief Secretary for Ireland), surmounting the Detective Office, was shattered by the explosion. Reinforcements of poliee have been sent from London, and the Government buildings are now closely guarded. The bomb which exploded near the Detective Office in Dublin was placed under the window of a room whore twenty people were sleeping. It exploded with terrific force, tore up the pavement, and cracked the walls of the building.

Sinnott's right leg and arm were torn from the body, the foot being found u hundred yards away, while one of the fingers was discovered in the Chief Secretary's library. Several detectives sleeping on the premises had a narrow escape. The police and pros" believe that tho outrage was committed owing to Mr Morley refusing to release Daly, who is in custody on charges of Fenianism. Detective Green declares that ho saw a brown paper parcel under tho window beside what he imagined to be a burning cigar end. He entered the depot, and the explosion occurred a moment after. The Detective Office abutsonDublin Castle, and is under Mr Morlej's library. The Opposition press warn the Government that the outrage is the direct result of their policy of concession, and declare that it is impossible to placate the Irish. December 27. The whole of Dublin is alarmed over the recent outrage. Pour persons in the vicinity of tho detective buildings at the time of the explosion were found in a unconscious condition, and removed to the hospital, where they recovered. The Times, referring to the outrage, says it is a striking comment on Mr Morley's late octs of homage to his masters. The Daily Chronicle characterises it as a desperate and devilish attempt to intimidate the public. The Standard considers the outtages should convince Mr Morley of the futility of attempting to conciliate the Irish. The Daily News believes the split of the Irish party will l.istl to the increase of secret societies and encourage criminal acts. The members of tho Irish National Federation League denounce in Strang terms the outrage committed in Dublin as a barbarous murder. A man named Kevaus has been arrcsced atNenagh, in Tipperary, on a charge of being concerned in the dynamite outrage in Dublin. At the inquest on Constable Sinnott, who was killed by the dynamite explosion in the Detective Office in Dublin, an open verdict was returned. The press condemn the outrage and argue that it will supply many followers of Gladstone with an excuse for deserting tho Home Rule cause. The outrage is attributed to the extreme dynamite section. Precautions which were enacted some time ago for the protection of public buildings in London have been resumed, the authorities having re» ceived warning that attempts would be made to wreck them. Renewed activity as before has been shown by the American-Irish dynamiters.
