The feeIi.x in New YORK.

New YORK, July 30.-The feeling in Irish
circles III this city, aroused by the report of
the shooting of Carey, is one Of profound
hope that it is true. The report has not yet
gained full credencs, and the fact that such
. circumstantial account OF the arrivsi
and identification of Carey in Montreal
had just preceded the announcement
that he had been shot causes great ma any
10 be doubtful which is true. The ory Of
the shooting, however, seems to grow in fs-
vor, as it is argued that Carey would never
venture to 60 to Canada, while he would be
likely 10 seek safety in more distant Africa.
Every Irlshman spoken to express d The
opinion that Carey richly deserved death,
and that if Carey WIS not vet killed, it is
only question of time when he will be. Lead
ipg Irish Nations lists say they know nothing
about the matter beyond what they have
read in the papers, and that they are ignor-
ant whether any organized effort was N ade
in ireland and EugiaDd TO fellow Carey
for the purpose Of killing him
Several say it is NOT unlikely Carey
was closely watched and followed, despite
the efforts of the police, and that his doom
was cert ain.
