THE STATE OR IRELAND. •  The following are the rewards which have been made in connection with the Phcenit Park murders, and the successful investigation of the case:— Robert Farrell, £1,000; Alice Carroll, £00; Kavanagh, £6OO and pardon; Lamie, £260; Smith, £250; Huxley, £250; Emma Jones, £100; Mottley, £250 and passage paid; Hand and wife, £300; Joe Hanlon, £6O; 'rreynor, £2O; McKeown and MeEnery each £6O and passage paid; Godden, £250; Superintendent Mallon £l,OOO, and four members of his statf £lOO each.  Detective Maguire arrested, at Queenstown, on Tuesday, a man named Patrick Sweeney, who is charged with the murder of Lord Mountmorries. Prisoner had in his possession a passage ticket for New York by the Inman steamer which was to leave Queenstown on Wednesday. It appears that an enquiry is at present being instituted at Gong, county Mayo, and prisoner left there rather ptly a few days ago. Lord Mountmorries was murdered about two years ago while returning from a Petty Sessions court in county Mayo. At the Dublin Police Court, on Tuesday, three ejectment summonses, issued in the name of the son of the informer James Carey, were entered on the list. The defendants are Carey's tenants, and since he became an informer had stated their determina.  abrui  tion not to pay rent to him. None of the parties, however, appeared, and the cases fell through. All the Phosnix Park informers have left Ireland, except James Carey and his brother Peter, who are retained for the prosecution of Tynan. Speak ng on Tuesday night, at Dublin, at a meeting in aid of the Parnell Testimonial Fund, Mr. Healy, M.P., said that as the English Government could not, as they formerly did to Irish leaders, poison Mr. Parnell, they attempted to poison the minds of the Irish people against him, by obtaining, by false representations, a document from the Pope. He described the letter as an "idiotic circular," and said he considered that its authors, before sending it out, should have looked nearer home for crime and outrage. He hoped steps would be taken to rectify this gross and shameful blunder. Mr. Sullivan, M.P., and Mr. Harrington, M.P., also spoke, and said that the attempt made by the Government to interfere with this movement had proved a total failure. The Dublin Gazette contains notices of the following awards of compensation under the Crimes Act for agrarian murder and outrage :—To Thomas Boyd, of Chilcomb, Kilkenny, £l,OOO, for the murder of his son, Char es Daniel Boyd, near Shanbaugh, in August, 1881, and £250 for injuries sustained by himself on the same occasion; to Elizabeth Conroy, of Sligo, £4OO, for injuries sustained at Ballienally, Sligo, March 19, 1882; to Timothy Connell. of Knockaurima, Kerry, £llO, for injuries sustained on March 10, 1882 • and to Mary Connell £l3O, for injuri•-s inflicted at the same time and place; to Bridget Barrett, of Doolough, Mayo, £430, for the murder of her husband at Doolough, on the 11th May, 1882. Other smaller rewards are also gszetted. The Press Association learns that Mr. Ernest Hart, who, accompanied hr an agricultural expert, has just made a tour of investigation in various parts of Ireland, under the auspices of the Irish Political Committee, found that 14,000 persons in Donegal are being supported by charity, and that the emigration of active and able-bodied poor is increasing, the proportion of those who remain are dependent on charity. Mr. Hart adds that there are in Ireland 4.000,000 acres of neglected grass land, with regard to Shich he will recommend in his report that the Govlrnment he urged to advanoe to a responsible company such sums as will reclaim the land so going to waste, and enable tenants to be placed on lots of about 30 acres, with a view to their ultimately becoming peasant proprietors.
