stated At South Port that the men who offered
him money to assist in the murders wer~ canal
boatmen. He described them before the DO
lice. Notice was issued in Dublin almost in
the same terms as those used in that paper.

tive In several important cases, and who
writes over the signature of Warhawk, in q
communication to the St. James Gazette, thus
signed, says he has reason to know that the

AN FRESHMAN ON THE LATE ASSASSINATION.
London, May I2.-In his remarks in the
house OF commons last night, on the rerres-
sion bill, Dillon, referring to last SATURDAYS
murder, said: "For the first time, Irish an
nails were stained with assassination" No
Englishman felt the humiliation more than
himself, but he declared it did not rest upon
Irish history, but on Forster. If the govern
ment sent another man to Ireland, to carry out
measures similar to that under which Forster
acted, such an accused act would again sure
y blot the pages of history.

that the government would not countenance
any step that might diminish Egyptian indie

agreement between France and England,
would be maintained. Events, however, he
SAID, might assume an importance which would
render 1t necessary for France to act in concer
with other powers.

tyrannical enactments of modern times, and il

sand the bill, though they may be defeated.
