 l DUBLIN, May 3.-A bill charging Walsh

 submitted to the grand jury, and it returned
 true bills against Lawrence Hanlon, Jamei

 United Ireland, the organ of the national
 ist party, makes some severe comments on
 the courses pursued by the men who made
 yesterdays confessions and by some of the
 men who have been indicted for the conspir-
 acies to murder MT. Forster, Earl Cowper
 and others as reported in our yesterday s
 dispatches. It says plainly that the confes-
 sion of Patrick Delaney was made for a def
 nite purpose, that it resulted from an agree ment and that the pretence of sentencing
 him to death was the merest farce. Its state
 nents indicate that it had special sources of
 information, and it says with seeming au-
 thority that Delaney made his confession for
 the purpose of securing the conviction of
 Timothy Kelley, whose third trial the gov
 ernment intended should result in a convic-
 tion, while counsel for the crown did not believe that after two disagreements any con- viction could be found on Care5's compara- lively unsupported testimony. Public rumor and public belief go further than the press statements and with much apparent reason. It is believed that the confessions of Delaney and Thomas Caffrey are intended to reach much further than the conviction of Kelley and to supply the missing links of evidence which will secure the conviction of every other person claimed to have been connect ed with the Phoenix Park tragedy, the assas sination of Lord Mountmorr1s and the score or more of preceding conspiracies to murder with their names, and as men having the same purpose in view are connected those of James Mullett and William Meroney, two of the men at Kilmainham against whom the in
 
 The feeling is strong that money considera- tions have been offered to these men if they can serve certain purpos es of the government efectually; that money will be only secondary to pardons which will be almost unconditional. These rumors or more than rumors attribute to the ministry intentions much farther reaching than have ever before been hintsd at, and to nothing less than the bringing down of MT. Parnell and other Irish members of Parliament and connecting them directly with the conspira- cies. Such 8 possibility has been unthought
 of until within fortnight and would not now attract attention were it not that in formers are becoming so numerous that oportunity is given to prove almost anything. A solicitor who has been interest ed in two of the trials which were concluded in the Green street court room, who has ex- amined all the testimony which has been given, and had the confidence of several of the prisoners says: t'The situation of De. laney and Caffrey is the most extraordinary
 of which I have ever had any knowledge.
 The evidence against them was not
 as strong as that against Kelley, and
 their conviction under any circumstances
 was quite out of the question. They
 admit themselves guilty of murder as access
 ories before and after the fact, plead guilty and the court follows the unusual course of accepting their plea and sentencing them to
 death at once. They accept warning of
 the result of their plea if persisted in calmly. Such 8 course cannot be explained on the basis of any information in possession of the public or any within my possession.
 If these statements have the foundation of fact then the policy of the government is one of indirection which can only be explained by murder indictments against Lyman, Sheridan and Walsh. Any evidence that Delaney, Caffrey, Mullett and Meroney have given or can probably give does not touch any mem Der of Parliament and the same is true of Carey's statements. They give evidence which is however, strong enough to indlct three men, who do know what were the sources of income, who were the real lnstl- gators and leaders and exactly what were the methods employed. If Tynan, Sheridan and Walsh can be placed by the consent of the United States government in the control of the English authorities, the latter l believe Tynan can be induced to turn informer and that then sufficient evi- l dence can be obtained from him and from the other informers not only to convict Sheridan and Walsh, but to seriously lmpl- cate several Irish members of Parliament, | including Mir Parnell, and possibly lead to | the extrditition of Patrick Egan and other well known land leaguers who have recently | emigrated to the United States From this standpoint the London correspondent of the Liverpool Courier says If Number one should ever be captured James Carey's revelations will l suspect dwindle into tameness. For all l hear | Number one was known to- the Irish mem- 1 bers, and his engagement by London firm as traveller was on the introduction of an 1 Irish member, and his joining the Mlddlesex corps as a volunteer no doubt enabled him to l inaugurate the reign of terror which began with the murder of Lord Mountmorrls and ended with the murder of Lord Frederick Cav endish.''
