from Dublin gives the following particulars of
the murder OF Lord Frederick Cavendish and
Mr.. Burke: A boy states that while bird
nesting in Phoenix park yesterday afternoon,

and close to a road, group of men who ap-
peared, he said, to be wrestling. He thought
they were roughs, and paid no attention to
<ha,v If he unan foil
four others Jump in a cab and drive rapidly
towards the Chapelside He is unable to
give description of their appearance. The
park was crowded in many places at the time
of the trag sdy, and many persons were sitting
within few hundred yards Of where the bod
les were found but heard nothing of the al
fair. The police paraded the park shortly af-
ter the occurrence, and searched every hole
and corner for the murderers. Mr.. Burke
was found with his throat cut almost
from ear to ear. His hands bore marks
indicating that he had a fierce and
heightened encounter. One of the wounds of
Lord Cavendish was a dagger thrust, which
penetrated his right lung, and his right arm
was smashed to a pulp. Many of the wounds
on both the bodies were such as must have
been necessarily fatal. The persons who
found the bodies were delayed by the police.
Earl Spencer, to whom the news was hrst
broken by Col. Caulfeld, was terribly shock
ed. 1t is reported that he intends to resign
Immediately.

try cab of peculiar build driving through
Grafton street. 1t contained four very sus-
picious. looking fellows with BACKED faces
and wearing slouched hats pulled down in
front so as to conceal their faces. -
