ATHENEUM CLUB, PAIL MALL, LONDON,
S. w., February 20, ISS3.-The recent ex-
pose of Irish intrigue throws considerable
light upon the anti-English organization.
Much has been revealed, but much is also
hidden in the interests Of justice, and it said
that future revelations will seriously implicate
prominent individuals on both sides of the
Atlantic. Two things now seems quite clear,
that is, that the assassination of Mr.. Burke
was the result of deliberate plot. and that
the death OF Lord Frederick Cavendish was
simply owing to his being in company with
Mr.. Burke at the time he was murdered and
of his lordship's endeavor to save the life of
his unfortunate compa MON. Mr.. Gladstone
might have been disposed to have let matters
slide in an easy groove, but one of the muir
dered was Cavendish, and Cavendish in
the person of the Marquis of Harrington is
a prominent member of the English cabi-
net. Lord Harrington was determined to
see that the death of his brother was Justly
avenged and the Cavendish family, one of the
wealthiest and most prominent in England,
were equally determined on similar course
To attain this end the public funds and the
private moneys Of the Cavendishes have been
employed. The best detectives have worked
night and day, sparing no effort and expense
Now the end is at hand and will come as
surely as night follows the day. Among the
men arrested were Brady and Councillor
Carey. Brady, fearing the consequence of his
crime, gave his associates away, as the Amer
leans term it, and when Carey saw this he de-
cided to save his own neck by

ames Carey is a member of the City Council
of Dublin, to which body he was recently
elected as the peoples candidate. He was
arrested upon the evidence of Brady and part
| of the parcel Of knives sent from London for
the assassination was found in one of his
houses. lie says that he Joined the
Fenian brotherhood in 1861, the great object
OF which was to separate Ireland from Eng
land, and was Treasurer of that body. In 1870
he left the brotherhood owing to some per
SOnal difference. Before leaving he became
member of the Irish Invincibles, consisting
OF 200 picked men, who were the authors
and perpetrators of many outrages that have
appalled, the people. lie was subsequently
one OF the Directors-Me mbers of the Direc
tory they are technically called. In June 1882
he resigned, but had not been released from
his obligations He states that there was

land, but, although various efforts were made,
all attempts were frustrated. When Forster
resigned Mr.. Burke's removal was decided
upon as he was thought TO be adverse to their
plans, and his opinions might unduly
influence the actions of Lord Fred
erick Cavendish. His murder was
accomplished in accordance with the
plot and those who executed it hold that they
were obliged to kill Lord Frederick Caven-
dish to attain their end. Brady, the informer,
he says, was the man who struck the first
blow. lie was not present at the murder but
watched the crime at a distance. His evil
dence was received by the other prisoners with
various uncomplimentary and condemnitory
remarks, and he is now closely watched to
prevent his assassination, which he greatly
fears.
Carey's information seriously duplicates the
General, or No. l, as he is called, 2. /. Sher-
idan, Thomas Brennan, Frank and Mrs.
Byrne and man named Walsh.
The General, or No. I, organized the As

Who he is none know, his name did not tran
spire to his associates, and his communications
were simply signed mo. H." He is said to
be an lrish-American, who has resided much
IN France and Germany. For the past rs
months he has visited Dublin very frequently,
passing his time at the principal hotels in that
city or at the Marine hotel at Blackjack, where
Carey met him. The General had
APPARENTLY UNLIMITED FUNDS.
An enquiry from banking house in Dublin
to bankers at Paris brought the reply that .'the
gentleman named has seemingly unlimited
means derived from large drafts in his favor
from America" He is described as being a
man about 50 years of age, five feet IoH
inches high, well preserved, full faced, clean
shaved with the exception of long nous
tacte inclined to be redish, has
a military bearing, and is slightly lame in the
right leg, occasioned by wounds received in
the Franco Prussian war, at which time he
was Captain OF the Franc Tireurs. He was
also engaged in the civil war of America.
Warrants are out for his apprehension, and il
found upon foreign shores he will be extradited.
He IS supposed to be General Millen, who
was present at the Fenian ex-;nspection in
Ireland in 1880, and was chief organizer of the
abortive rising of 1867, after which he ESCAPED
TO America. For some time he was attached
