The police have received information which leads to the belief that a Fenian plot is on foot to blow up Windsor Castle, and the return of Her Majesty to Windsor is consequently delayed. In the House of Commons to-day Mr Childers, replying to a question, said that the Government had recently made an offer to Sir George Colley of further strong reinforcements for service against the Boers, and the offer had been accepted. Fresh bodies of troops would accordingly be despatched to Natal without delay.
