THE PARNELLITES AND IRISH DISTRESS. A correspondent of a London paper plias out that while the British taxpayer is again urgently called upon (by those who are never tired of stigmatising him as a sanguine oppr siior) to relieve Irish distress, no public subscription has hi en started in Dublin or elsewhere to relieve the allesel misery. And what, he adds, are the agitators doing? " Why, insteed of relieving distress, they are amusing themselves by getting up testimonials of money for one another I Tow, a Rev. J. Kavanagh sends £lO for a testimonial to Mr. Parnell, as a sort of comoPnNation for his wouritPd feelings, now that, as Mr. Forait-r has told us, he and his followers have been 'found out' Again, when Mr. Healy is releasad in a few months' time, he, too, is to be presented with a tiiatimonial— money, of course. Mr. Sextoa has alrealy renaived a cheque for £560. The Avoca branch of the National L?ague has sit on foot a testimonial for Mr. Parnell. Subscriptions are Ptill pluring in for the Egan testimonial. The Rev. Harold Rylet t, National is t csnitidate for Tyrone, has received a purse of sovereigns. And so on. And in the face of this, Mr. Parn.ill's party come whining to us for money to relieve distress, and if we are slow in giving it will, no doubt, sounily cli nom c us. It has ben said that the Irish are either begg as or bullies. At present they appear before us in both capacities."  The prisoners charged with the Phcesix Park Murders will be tried by opecial juries at the ordinary Conrtniss,ou of Oyer and Terminer, commencing on April 9th. The exme junior Ccmosel vili he retained for the defence, but of comes Dr. Webb, Q.O ,will be assisted by other Qtreen's Counsel. The trials will be very protracted, as it is taken f,r granted that the prisoners will not join in their challemier.  Mr. Field. who was nearly stabbed to death in North Frederick-street, has so far recovered from the wounds he received that be was able the other day to go to the polling booths and rec,rJ his vote for C done' King-Harman. He will be examined as a witness' at the approsching trial of the twentpone alleged conspirators. lie eats that he will not ha aide to ithntify his assailants, owing to the suddenness and violence of the attack, and the fact that his aseassination was st!einpted in the dusk of the evening. He, however, thinks that the form of the prism er Joseph Brady strongly resembles that of one of the men who ktabhed him in the street. The search for the knives used upon the occasion is still continued in the Ringsend Canal Basin, 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 notice. _ . .  The informers. who for Pafety are kept in Kilmsinhana Gaol. tuaintain their cheerfulness. The food is supplied from a neighbouring publichouse, the same place from which the food of the suspects was supplied, and is carefully guarded lest means might be found by certain persons t gain access to the dishes and introduce poison into the food.  It is a remarkable fact that since the arrest of the "Invincibles " as.aults on the police in Dublin have entirely ceased. The explanation given of this is not that the men who have been arrested ware in the habit of committing such assault, but the language used and the sentiments given u.terance to by them in the publichouses which they were in the habit of frequenting demoralised the roughs and rowdies who constituted their audtence.
