The Elective Council Ireland bill,

the House Of Commons this afternoon.
The vote was IS infavor of the bill and 231
against it. The bill.was, in Mr.. Healy's
absence, he being still in prison, intro
duceu by MIR. Barry, the member for WeX-
ford county.
Mr.. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for Ire
lana, having shown a spirit of opposition
TO the bill, Mr.. Parnell, who was present
only for brief time, accused him of show
Ing readiness to speak to order and
to turn his back upon his former
principles. He (Trevelyan) and many of
his colleagues had supported a similar
bill brought in by DR.. Isaac Butt when
the Tories were in power. He sincerely
hoped that this question, which had al
ready provoked such an extended cOntrO-
versy, would now be1eft to a reformed Par

DUBLIN, April 1.-THE trial of ''JOe.''
Brady ON charge of numbering Lord
CayendiSh and Under Secretary Burke.
began this morning. Notwithstanding
that 1t was known that all absentees
would be summarily fined 9100, many of
the jurors on the trial failed to appear.
The swearing in of the jury occupied one
hour, the counsel for the prisoners having
the right to challenge twenty.
The case for the Crown was opened by
MIR. Porter. The first witness called was
Farrell, the infOrmer, who testified at the
preliminary examination of the prisoners
in kilmainham court house. He repeated
the testimony given at that time.
James Carey, who also turned infOrmer
at the Kilmainham investigation, was the
next witness. His evidence was the same
as he had before given. Upon the con-
clusiOn of Carey's direct examination the
court adjourned for the day.
Carey's face was flushed while heS was
giving his evidence.
Carey was in the witness box for an
hour and three-quarters. He gave de-
tailed account of the formation of the
Invincibles, but he was not allowed to go
into the plot against the lives of Mr..
Forster and Earl COwper. While Carey
was testifying, Brady followed the evil
dence closely, and frequently sent notes
to his solicitor. Carey became perfectly
cool in his demeanOr towards the
close Of his evidence. One of the knives
found in Ringland basin was produced in
order that he might identify it as one of
those supplied by Sheridan from London.
In his address in opening the pr0secu-
tiOn against Brady, Mr.. Porter said that
this case should teach one lesson-that
there could be no honor among the men,
bers OF such society. The men
who had instigated it and warmed it into
with the funds which encOur-
aged it to carry on its
designs, had fled to foreign lands. If there
was any further proof required of how the
cOnSpirators deserted those who were
unlawfully leagued with item it was
furnished by the fact that the Crown had
even in this case been compelled to pro-
vide means for defending Brady from this
terrible charge.
stated that the authorities know who
No. is, and that it is expected that
photograph of this mysterious person will
be produced.
