Joseph Brady, who has been identified by several independent witnesses and informers as being in the Park on the Gth of May, will be the first prisoner placed upon his trial for the capital offence. The case for the Crown will last about three days, and that for the defence, an alibi, for one day. At the conclusion of his trial, should a disagreement occur, the trials will be all postponed, and then the Crown will apply for a change of venue in the eases to Beliast. Should the conclusion result in a conviction, Timothy Kelly, the youngest of the prisoners, will be tried. Then Patrick Delany, Fegan, the two O'llanlons, Curley, and "Skin the Goat" will bp each tried separately. Before the terrains,. tfon of these trials for the murders of the Chief Secretary and tinder Secretary it is likely that a compromise about challenging the jurors will bo entered into between the Crown and the prisoners, and that the remaining batch of ten or eleven will be tried together for conspiring to murder. This trial is likely to last about ;Our days. Revelations of still stronger chexactea ' than those deposed to by the approver Carey will be related. It will be proved, or, at least, an attempt will be made to prove, that money was paid/to different parties connected with the case for tie purpose of assassination, the parties paying tffh money well knowing it to 'be for assassination purposes. Several attempts at assassination of officials will be stated, and several hairbreadth escapes of the officials will be deposed to. A number of witnesses who will be produced for the defence have been examined by Mr Curran, with the view of rebutting their evidence ifnecessary. Eight prisoners in all will be charged directly with the murders.  On Saturday evening one of the Invineibles, John Dwyer, was discbargod from Kilutainham Prison. The evidence against him at the recent investigations was to the effect that he was waiting to murder Mr Forster as a signal man. The evidence was not very conclusive against him, and report says that be was discharged on the ground of ill-health. • Immediately after 11,s liberation he was taken charge of by his sister, and driven to their residence in Chatham-street. He may be arraigned with the other prisoners, but this is not likely. The statement that Joe Mullett and James Mullett had become informers is entirely without foundation. The informers at present are the two Careys, Kavanagh, Farrell, and Laud." The Crown does not intend to accept any more Queen's evidence.  John With, accoMpanied by Messrs Donovan, Buckley, Casey, and other friends, left for New York on Saturday by the steamer France. Another Irishman, whose name has transpired, hut who has been closely watched for some time past, managed to elude the vigilance of the French and English detectives, and sailed by the same steamer.
