M.— ; The Court has just opened and resumed, the murder trial. There are some circumstances connected with Madden’s attempt last nighfc to set fire to the jail which indicate the pre sence of confederates outride. The vessel which Maddenhad filled with live coalswas" not one of. file jail drinking cups, as pre viously telegraphed, bat in a tiut ; box with a cover, which could not possibly have been in thb possession of the prisoners when admitted to the jail, as all of them underwent a ml-: nnte search. It is certain that it most have been conveyed to them in jail. Another : circumstance also indicates outside con federates. On Monday, P. M., a person re-; siding in the district was discovered in the jail yard, conversing with the prisoners. The police allowed him to escape, but he is known. Guards are now posted at every point outside where it would he pos sible to hold communication with the pri soners. Madden is to bekept in his cell for 48 hours, on bread and water to allow him to meditate bn the failure of his incendiary scheme. Montreal, Dec. 5, — It is reported here’ that the Fenians are holding meetings in St. Albans, and subscribing funds and arms for seme special undertaking.
