LONDON, September 23rd,
. William O'Brien arrived in London last night and spent to-day in conference with the leaders of the Irish party. He returned to Dublin to-night. It is stated on the best authority' that O'Brien and Dillon will carry out their original plan and visit America to open the Irish campaign there, though they must return sooner than they intended. They will plead guilty to making the Tipperary speeches and avoid, the 'process of a tedious trial. They expect to be sentenced to six months' imprisonment,
This will give the immediate right of appeal, which involves at least six weeks or two months' delay, during which they will be released on heavy ball. This will give them ample time to visit New York, Boston and Philadelphia, and return for a hearing at the trial on appeal.

THEATRE ROPAL.
On Saturday night at the Theatre Royal, City Hall, Miss Gracle Plaisted's company produced Offenbach's comic opera "La Perlchole" to one of the most appreciative and enthusiastic audiences we have seen for some time, and not without reason, for the performance, taken all round, was the best the company has yet favored us with. There's a stream of music and pretly songs rippling all the way through the opera until the trombone comes in-that would soothe the savage breast of even a Punjom holder, and the libretto, if not brilliant, is never doll, Miss Pinisted as La Parichele added another to her long list of triumphs, and sang and acted with her wonted grace and spirit, being highly deserving of the applause that she gained for every song. Mr. Charles Harding has already shewn how well he can sing, but Piquillo, the lover of Za Perichele, his acting in the scene, where they accidentally meet, was superb, and roused the audience to to highest pitch of enthusiasm.
As the Old Prisoner Mr. D. C. Smith was an agreeable surprise, and shewed an amount of
