TIIE DEPARTURE OF JAMES CAREY. The story of James Ctrey'e banishment will perhaps never become fully known; but such particulars as have leaked out are sufficiently interesting for publication. It is well known that the G wernment found great difficulty in getting rid of Carey. Some doubts are entertained as to Whether all Corey's letters to Judge Morris about the Trinity Ward election petition, and the let•er to the Town Clerk requesting that the notices of the meetings of the corporations should be sent to him, though undoubtedly , genuine in the sense of having been writ'en by Carey, I were not written by him at the instigation of others, in ' order to throw the Fenian nifty off the scent, and render their efforts to trace his movements on leavin; the prison futile. But there can be no doubt that be gave trouble to the Government in respect of his pa sis'ent demand for a written pardon, and his equally pn,istent claim to a money reward for his services as an informer. Carey also claimed that be should have protection whether he left the couatry or remained in it. None of these demands were complied with. It I , was decided not to give him a written pardon, ' ' and he is thus technically still in the position of a man who may be tried for his life. Lord Spencer was equally firm in refusing to recognise Corey's claim to any portion of the reward, and the result is that the arch Informer 1 has gone to a foreign shore with some means of his own, but without these being in any way supplemented by public money. Corey was not entitled to any reward. He only came forward when he could not save his neck without doing so. He saved his neck, and that was all he I was entitled to. Some weeks ago the preliminary steps were taken of separating the brothers Carey in gaol, and by stopping all viaits to them, conveying the impression that they had left the country, or. at all events, that they had been removed from Kilinainham Gaol. On Monday 1 night last an officer high in the Dublin detective service presented himself at the prison after lock-un hours, and when all the officers except the governor and the deputygovernor had disappeared, and produced an order for the delivery over to him of James C trey. The order was complied with, and C Lrey and the detective officer took their places in a ca h which was in waiting for them outside, and drove its the city. Th's done, Carey was obvious'y in the power of the officer, and was compelled to submit to his terms, which were that he should leave the country and go abroad, his passage being paid to his destination, but no further assistance whatever being given to hint. Carey demurred strongly to these terms, but he was given the alternative of accepting them or being left unprotected in the streets of Dublin. Thus driven to bay he chose the firetmoentioned alternative. He was conveyed the same night to Kingstown in the cab in which be had been brought from Kilmainham. He slept on board the steamer, and, accompanied by a detective, crossed to Holyhead, and thence to London, whither his family had been already removed in detachments along with other informers and their families, notably Robert Farrell, to whose disclosures in the first inst ince the discovery of the perpetrators of the Park murders may be said to be due. So well managed were the entire ariangements that the detective who acc maponied C trey on board the steamer which was to convey him to his destination, and who handed him his passage warrant enc'osed in a sealed envelope, was not aware of C irey'e destination. That destination, it can only he said, is in some pert of the eastern hemisphere. No more definite conjecture can be formed, as the steamer is one of a line which has numerous ports to call, any one of which may be the port of debarkation for James Carey.
