VICTORIA, R."  Miss Burke and her brother desire to convey their heartfelt thanks to the numberless public bodies, corporations, and associations who have sent them copies of resolutions expressing sorrow and indignation at the foul murder of their beloved brother, and they also hereby assure them that these tokens of deep sympathy have been a source of great consolation to them in their cruel affliction.  On Tuesday afternoon a deputation from Trinity College waited on the Lord-Lieutenant, to present an address signed by the whole professorate of the University, deploring the assassinations in Phcenix Park In the course of his reply his Excellency said "It is a time not for congratulation, but for earnest counsel and co-operation. It is a time when the vigorous but just administration of law by the Government is especially requisite. I assure you that I am resolute in my determination to use every means to root out the evil which has caused desolation in many an Irish home, and has now culminated in this fearful tragedy. To a body like yours, which has such influence over the intellectual and other classes of the country, and which has under its charge so many young men who will be the leaders of public life in this country I know I may look for active help, and I rely on such support from you as well as from others." A second deputation of the King and Queen's College of Physicians also waited upon the Viceroy with an address, to which he made a brief reply.  Cardinal M'Cabe arrived in Dublin on Tuesday night from London and, in the course of his reply to an address presented by the Town Commissioners of Kingstown, spoke of the Phoenix Park assassinations, characterising the crime as a hideous deed of blood, most wicked in its conception, brutal in its execution, and revolting in all its details. "It has," he added, "bowed down the head of every true-hearted Irishman with shame, and filled his heart with feeling almost approaching despair for the future of the country. We have, however, the consolal ion of believing that the crime was not concocted in Ireland, and of knowing that its commission has called from every class of our fellow-countrymen an outburst of heartfelt 'reprobation. Our unhappy country had already laid to her charge many nici . rgrarian crimes against life and property, but these could be tia.seii back to the unholy promptings of vengeance for some real or imaginary wrong. In the case of the two gentlemen whose blood calls to-day to eternal justice no such provocation can be alleged. They wronged no man, they injured no man. Their sole crime seems to be that they were members of the Executive Government." The Cardinal spoke strongly against secret societies, and was well received.  The Police gautte contains the following description of four men wanted for the murder of Lord F. Cavendish and Mr. Buffre  1. About 35 years old, stout make, dark complexion; hair, whiskers and moustache recently clipped so as to give a brisling appearance; narrow forehead, natural hollow or dinge on bridge of nose, wore a soft black jerry hat and dark clothes. 2. Abut 30 years, sandy hair, whiskers and moustache, brown faded coat as if much exposed to sun, soft black Jerry hat. 3. About 20 years, small dark moustache, no whiskers, soft black hat and dark clothes. 4. About 30 years, sandy hair and moustache, beard on chin, wore dark clothes and soft black hat.  The height cannot be given of any, all being sitting on an outside car, driven by a man between 35 and 40 years, red bloated face, with a few days' growth of beard. Had on dark or brown coat, supposed frieze and low soft black hat. The horse was a bay or chestnut of good action, and the car had either a dark green or a red panel. The men had the appearance of sailors or well-to-do artisans.—JoHN MALToN, Superintendent.
