THE PARNELLITES AND IRISH DISTRESS.  A correspondent of a London paper points out that while the Britifth taxpayer is again urgently called upon (by those who are never tired of stigmatising him as a senguine oppr ssor) to relieve Irish distress. no puhlis subscription has been started in Dublin or elsewhere to relieve the alleged misery. And what, he adds, are the agitators doing? "Why, instead of relieving distress, they are amusing themselves hy getting un testimonials of money for one another! Time, a Rev. J. Kavenegh sends £lO for a testimoni 4 to Mr. Parnell, as a sort of compensation for his wounded feelings, now that, as Mr. Font has told us, he and his followers have been ' found out.' Again, when Mr. Healy is released in a few months' time, he, too, is to be presented with a testimonial— money, of course. Mr. Sexton has already received a cheque for .£.560. The Avoca branch of the National League has eat on foot a testimonial for Mr. Parnell. Subscriptions are still inuring in for the Egan testimonial. The Rev. llarold Rylet t. N ationalist candidate for Tyrone, has received a purse at sovereigns. And so on. And in the face of this. Mr. Parnell's party come whining tam for money to relieve distress, and if we are slow in giving it will, no doubt, soundly denourcs us. It has been said that the Irish are either beggars or bullies. At present they appear before us in both capacities."  The primers charred with the Phcenix Park Murders will be tried by special juries at the ordinary Commission of Oyer and Terminer. commencing on April 9th. The same junior Comm' will be retained for the defence, but of course Dr. Webb, Q.O , will be etiolated by other Queen's Counsel. The trials will be very protracted, as it is taken f.ir granted that the prie nners will not join in their challenges. _ _ _  Mr. Field. wha was nearly stabbed to death in North Frederick-street, has so far recovered from the wounds he received that be was able the o'her day to go to the polling booths and rec..r,l his vote for C donel King-Harman. He will be examined al a witness at the approsching trial of the twenty-one alleged conspirators. He eats that he will not ha able to identify his assailants, owing to the suddenness and violence of the attack, and the fact that his assassination was attempted in the dusk of the evening. He, however, thinks that the form of the Prieorer Joseph Brady atrongly resembles that of one of the men who stabbed him in the street. The search for the knives used upon the occasion is still continued in the Ringsend Canal Bolin, where they are said by the informer Kavanagh to have been thrown by the fugitive assassins, but success has not rewarded the exertions of the police, _ . _  The informers, who for safety are kept in Kilmainhara Gaol, maintain their cheerfulness. The food hi supplied from a neighbouring publichouse, the same place from which the food of the suspects was supplied, and is care. fully guarded Teat means might be found by certain persona to gain access to the dishes and introduce poison into the food..  Iti a remarkable fact that since the arrest of the "Invinciblea" asiaults on the polies in Dublin have entirely ceased. The explanation given of this is not that the men who have been arrested were in the habit of committing such assaults, but the language used and the sentiments given utterance to by them in the publichouses which they were in the habit of frequenting demoralised the roughs and rowdiaa who eonsti bye,' their audience.
