IRISH AFFAIRS.

London, Jan. 7.

There are signs that the Government will be enabled to execute the plan of a Southern Parliament for Ireland despite the present prospect of Sinn Fein attempting to defeat the step by abstaining from participation in the elections.

An influential section of the Constitutional Nationalists, beaded by Alderman MWatter,High Sheriff of Dublic, is preparing to select candidates when the writs arrive. This action will embarrass and may alter the attitude of the Sinn Feiners who are likely to hesitate before attempting to stir up civil war by Dghting a parliament composed of their fellow countrymen. Importance is attached to the unexpected departure of Viscount French for London from Dublin whither he only returned a comple of days ago.
