APPROVERS  REJECTED RV AUSTRALIA.  In the Dublin Felice court recently, a number of persons were again convicted of lighting bonfires and selling ballads denouncing the informer Carey. One man was fined for setting fire teas effigy of Carey on Thursday night. The liablin Erpress strongly urges the Government to take immediate steps for the safety of the informers said to have been babel in Australia, and of the other Crown witness° , and thus a ert a terrible catastrophe. "If these are massacred the Invincible' will have a complete and signal triumph. It it the Government's duty to protect the Crown witnesses, even if they should be obliged to set apart a whole regiment or an entire province for that purpose. And it they fail In this, the danger recently averted in Ireland will return in force. The hideous astassination societies in Ireland will gain courage, and we may expects recurrence of outrages,explosions, and murderous conspiracies. Nothing could be more cruel or more dishonourable than to accept the evidence of men, to grant them pardon, and then to throw them, without protection, to provide fre.ll victims for the hideous conspiracy which they were used to crush." The Nation says "It would have been impossible for Carey to keep his own secret for any length of time Me was the swaggering, self-asserting, aggrmsive sort of person who regarded himself as a great man, and sooner or later would do and say enough to bring suspicion on himself. The early close of his career has come as a surprise., The Irishman says: "By Carey's swift and sudden death, the se-called moral effect of the park trial ie wiped out. We could see no moral effect in those convictions which were obtaihed by bribes, by packet juries, and by every species of legal chicanery and Crimes Act trickery. When men are brought to the gallows by Star Chamber inquiries, by informers, and by the evidence of udanamed independent witnesses, such as Emma Jones and Huxley, both English persons, the only etlect that can come from such immorality is an abhorrence of Government by prosecution and the gallows. The execution of Carey is a blow to the immorality of rule by such odious means." The Dahlia En erring Telsyraph in an extra edition, recently published the following letter: "To the Editor.—Dear sir,—l am acquainted with two most respectable young men, shop assistants, who for your, have, in that capacity, supplied goals to Mrs. James Carey, and therefore are beyond doubt well acquainted with her. They tell roe she was in their shop yesterday, and the day before, and was supplied with goods at the counter. She noticed their surprised look at teeing her, and they told her they thought she was thou' ' "  sands of Miles away, tod which she remarked, ' Well, you see lam not.' They asked her about her husband, and she said he was all right; as right as you are,' and that the reports in the papers were a lot of fabrications. I learned of her visit and conversation yesterday, and felt sure that from some source you would have heard of It, but looking over the papers this morning I do not see anything of it, so hasten to make you aware. If it is true (and these men affirm it is), that Mrs. Carey is riot at Cape Town, It may be equally true that Carey was not, therefore could not be assassinated on board the Melrose Castle.—Yours faithfully, Caro.— PS. I give my name and address, but not for publication.' A correspondent at Dublin telegraphing recently soya: I: may he almost accepted as certain that the report of Mottley's murder is untrue. Mts. Mottley, his mother, has sent a letter to some of the papers in which she denounces the report as a cruel hoax. She never, she says, received any news of her NMI death or murder as stated. On the contrary, very recent communications from him showed him to Le alive and well. A Reuter's telegram, dated Melt mime, says The steamer Pathan has arrived here from Adelaide. Three of her passengers are identified as Michael Kavanagh, Joseph Hanlon, and Joseph Smith, who appeared as witnes.ea in the Ph nix-park murder trial, and were prohibited from landing by the Government. The other seven of the passengers, aupposed to have been also witness., at the trial were not identified.
