FURTHER ARRESTS OF LAND LEAGUERS.

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN DUBLIN.
Since the arrest of kir. Parnell on Thursday morning
the Irish Government have gone on steadily impris?u-
lag in Kilmainham Gaol in their turn the irush
membera of Parliament who have been prominent
leaders of the Lad League. The arrests male on
iaturday commenced with hi,. O'Helly. M P. for
Rosoommon, before he was out of bed at the Imperial
Hotel. A similar disti i
nction was n it ire for Mr.
Arthur O'Connor, M.P. for Queen's county, on Friday
afternoon. It is supposed that Mr. Oronncr sscap-ct
from Dublin in a coal boat. The &rivet of Mr. Wm.
O'Brien, the editor of the Uniftd Irelanl, caused
considerable surprise. He had not i lentified himself
with the League until a few. months ago, when that
body Purchased the Zrisketna newspaper and
appointed him the responsible editor of that public,.on,as well as it. cheap issue called Untied /reload
He is of delicate coustltuti,o, and it is feared that anai
protracted impriaonment will probalgy be attend
with fatal coasequences in his case. M. Sexton, who
was imprisoned the previous day, is in very bad health,
and, indeed, he lefts sick bed for his call at liihnain-
hare without a murmur, as Mr. Supt. Mallon admite.
In the course of Saturday afternoon there was a
rumour to the effect that M.. Dilloo, M.P., and Mr.
Biggar had been arrested, and in oonsequerme a large
crowd assembled In Sackvillastreet, being attracted
there by a cordon of p Alamein drawn up in front of
the Imperial Hotel. The members of the executive
of the Laud League remaining at large were at the
time assembled in solemn conclave in one of the large
rooms .4 the hotel. The most prominent present were
Mr. Dillon, M.P., Mr. T. Li. Sullivan M.P., Mr.
Biggar, M.P., Dr. Renoy, and othets of leaser note.
While they were in deliberation Chief Supt Malls
acquired for Mr. Dillon, who before he could be com-
municated with bad left for hie private residence in
North Great George's-street. Tale wee fortunate
because the crowd outside were in a great *tete of
excitement. Mr. Dillon arm met later on quietly
