Halifax Placed to In be Blown Up by Torpedoes the Harbor by American Yes Is. If ali r a v. May 7- Kaniora are current that a ttartling letter was received by Lieutenant Governor Archibald, warniD him of the expected isit to Halifax of two suspicious American vessels, and cautioning him to have precautions taken to protect life and property of the city. 1 ha Lieutenint Goternor admitted haviDjr. received tbe letter, but declined to state its contents or the i etare of measures by the military and naval authorities. From other parties in a position to know the contents of tbe letter it was learned that Colonel Clarke on Sunday communicated to the cfiicer information said be from Sir John Macdon aid, that two suspicious vessels manned, i; is believed, by Fenians, and carry in a quantity of torpedo? and other dangerous explosives, had sailed from Boston a few days ago, and it wts thought, intended to make Halifax their destination. On arriving here, it was asserted, the torpedoes with which the vessels weie laden would belaid as opportunity offered, beneath the water in the harbor, with tbe intention of blowing op the shipping entering or leaving. The line of torpedoes was to be stretched from Sanbro up the harbor, as close to the city as , possible, and when the time anived all would be fired. Particular mention was made of extraordinary watch to be kept on tbe lUhinst, the day on which Brady, the Tboeaix Park murderer, will bo executed, and it was also recommended that the gutrda at tbe vari ous barracks, powder magazines. Dockyard and war ships be strengthened. It could not be learned whether the guards on the Imperial propert all over the city bad been increastd, but oa II. M. 8. Lonodoso in tbe port this ha been don1, and sentries at varioui points of tbe city instructed to be careful whom they allow to enter the gates at which they watch. Th ITDimlt Conspiracies Orlstnally Co. earthed In 'ew York. Niw York, May 6. Concerning the cable gram frooi London saving that the Irish conspiracies had been originally unearthed here. Mr. Pierre pont Edwards, the English Vice Consul here, said this evening that the statement was substantially true. The con spiracies had been unearthed here, and without much trouble on the pari of the English authorities, for there had been a great deal of information fur nished voluntarily by Irishmen. The great trouble was to select what was true from what was false, as there was no limit to the information furnished. It seemed to be generally thought by many Irishmen out ot work that by going to the Consul with information concernir.e the conspirators tbe might get $20 or $00 apiece. As it was, the Luuiisii authorities bad been able to keep fu.ly informed about all that was being done here by the Irish plotters. Concerning the cablegram that Sheridan and Walsh were ai rested in this citv, Mr. Keuben K. Carroll, one of tbe counsel fur the two men, paid in bbencan s presence 10 i be Astor Hb-ise this evening, that there wasno hhadew of foundation in thai rumor. Neither of the men had been arrested nor ad any attempts been made to arrest htm tie was very certain, however, that streiiU ous etl'orts would be made to bring about tbeir extradition. The whole weight of Minister Lowell's inilaence would undoubt edly be thrown in that direction. vlOS9 Or TBE G RAPPLER.. List of Those Kr own to be Saved and Those I'robably Lost.

Patrick Delaney and Thomas Catirey, two more oi tbe men charged with participation in the murder cf Lord Cavendish and Mr. Burke, were ar raigned for trial this morniag. They created a sensation in the Court Room by pleading guilty to the charge against them. Both were sentenced to be hanged on the 2i of June. Before Caffrey had pleaded guilty he was told by his solicitor that the crown gare no hopes of a mitigation of sentence of death which would be passed upon him. When Delaney was called upon t J plead, he said I am guilty of being in the Park at the time Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke were killed, but I did not commit the murder. I plead guilty. The Judge explained to him that this really amounted to a plea of innocence. Delaney then formally pleaded guilty. II said: 'I was brought into this at first foolishly, not knowing what it was. 1 was forced from my work to go to the Park we had to obey the orders of the Society or take the conse ouences. wnen l got in tne ran l couia v a. t 4 i w- v w as not eet away.

Tbe prisoner would see to what misery they had been brought by the wretched system of conspiracy. When Caffrey was pliced in the dctk his face wore a smile. The consequence of pleading guilty was aain fully explained to nim in open Court, but be persisted ii his plea.' On being asked whether be had anything to eay why sentence should not fce passed upon him, Cail'rey replied in a lorxl, clear voice: 'All I have got to sot. standing on the brink of the grave, is that 1 did not know what was going to happeu until twenty minutes before the murders were commuted. I was bound to go to tbe Park under pain of death." Tae Judge, in passing sentence, sia mere were no means of judging m toe trutn oi the prisoner's statement, lie did not decide that it was necessarily wholly untrue. The sentence of Delaney will probably be commuted to life servitude. TBE HAKBODSBCBU TKAOEOT. Thompson Indicted for Murder A Dlpposit Ion to Criticise tbe Conduct of M toe BackDer.

Under the much pre railing cuatom he will probably be let out of prison, being nominally under arresS in charge of a guardian whose salary is- paid by the prisoner. ihea habeas corpus proceedings will lead to a preliminary trial to determine if he can be bailed. at:d whrt the amount shall be. The indictment creates surprise, though it is generally aporoved. The defendant, ard friends ex pected it to be for manslaughter. Ittexppcied the prisoner's father, one of the ableht lawyers in Kentucky, will be of the counsel for his ton. The sentiment is growing that the killing of Davis s to be clawed as assassination. There is a disposition to criticise the con duct of Misd Baekner, npon wha-e Statements to her counin, Phil B. Thompson, t is supposed he made his attack on Davis. it is said mat mifj liucKner some years ago was in trouble somewhat similar to the charge made against Mrs. Thompson.

He and his partner had fold their stock of grccries in order to devote their whole time to th whisky trade, and Mr. Davis had agreed to go to Chicago to close out a branch house, and was on his wav to Chicago on this easiness when be was killed.

AMERICAN ?UKK PRODUCTS. The Cause of the Prohibition of Ex porta tiue Ztbo Germany. MW l ork, aia7li. A uommittee oi importers of pork products at Hamburg writes &e Chamber of Commerce that thepam phiet by T. Byrtettss New York, is mainly responsible for the prohibition of importa tion of American bacon, and says the Cham ber should mak it publicly known that the pamphlet must be considered as a mere "stroke of business-enterprise," and tbat no ioportance whatever must be attributed to its remarks about tbe quality of goods. The Committee add that some remarks of -the ifew York Staats Leitung, as well as some other American- papers, to the efiVct that dead hogs are used for the manu facture of lard and that the product oi'hoes, used-for mexhanical purposes, is called "lard," havrdone the greatest harm and contributed toward establishing prein dice against Amerioan hog products with some members of our Government, who without any exper'ense of the matter take a -theoretical view of-it, and seem to think the public may be led to believe this lard is also t lor consumptien. Everybody acquainted i with the trade knows this Is impossible Nevertheless we wculd recommed thai fort this name be substituted another, perhaps, "Refuse Ail," wbleti would render a misun. t'erstandiug of tbat kind impossible. Any term that does netoontain the word "lardf would suit the p&ypoee. In order to secure the repeal of the pronation it is of thegrer est importance that your Government should take the trouble of making necaesary investigaticos which would establish tbe following Saats. (l)That no diseasfd hogs or dead hogs are used for export tree; (2) that the examination of goods when shipped is a very strict one, so much so tbat only fully cured i and wholesome meat can pass it. When the opinion of our lealing men has changeiea3n in favor of imrjuta tion, such investigation can only nave a beneficial influence on the -"aole trade in American products in general. At the same tims the certainty will prcrs the best means ( f removing the existing edjudice and securing. tta repeal of the prohibition lately issued. It ia, however, wident that such measures, or in fact any c-Jort in this direction, can be of avail only if sanctioned and Satked by your Government, and if upon snoh official examinr'aoons the prohibition appears to be based on raisrepresantation repeal) of the prohibition ought. to Do obtait 8.1.

At a late hour last night, Noah Rodgers, whose infant child has been suffering some days with smallpox, heard some one, as he thought, trying to enter his house, and going to the window with pistol in hand, saw a msn on tbe outride acting in a very tcspicious manner. He attempted to fire at the man, but the cartridges would not explode, and the eneak had reached the opposite side of tbe etreet before the pistol went off. two shots being fired at his retreating figure. Thia morning Rodgers found a note lyiDg upon his porch containing an order to leave, end threatening to burn tbe honse over his head unlrss be vacated it before Tuesday night. No clue is bad to the party, but the transaction, is generally condemned by our citizens.
