LIVES OF MORE OFFICIALS.

LONDON, May ia despatch to the
Times from Dublin says that the police
and people are beginning to discredit
the theory that Irish-Americans were.
imported to commit the murder OF Lord
Frederick Cavendish and Mr.. Burke.
This leads further to the deduction that
some Ribbon lodge was implicated in
the crime. The great hope is that the
reward offered will induce some mem

knives sold by iroumongers of Dublin

teer detective in several important
cases, and who writes over the sigma
ture of War Hawk, in q communica-
ton to the St. James Gazette thus

know that the arrests of the assassins
