THE Dublin correspondent of the Central News says I ant in a position to state positively that the authorities here expect to be able very soon to implicate several Irish members of Parliament in the murder conspiracy. The police have all along suspected them of being connected with it, and are daily receiving fresh evidence that their

suspicions were not unfounded.

THE London Timer says: "The cry of distress, as far as it is heard at all, comes from the rich;| rather than from the poor.. We hear on every side of reduced expenditure under the pressure

of reduced means." This 'would cause the

less regret if there were not the loss of employ

ment involved.

It is such solumn truths as are contained in the following lines which make foreigners meditate suicide rather than undertake to master the mysteries of our mother tongue:
