THE STATE OF IRELAND.  The following are the rewards which have bees made in connection with the Phcenix Park murders, and the successful investigation of the CUSC : Robert Farrell. £l,OOO ; Alice Carroll, £300; Kavanagh, £5OO and pardon; Lamie, £250; Smith, 1230 ; Huxley, £230; Emma Jones, £100; Mottley, £250 and passage paid; Hand and wife, ±300; Joe Hanlon, £5O; Treynor, £2O; McKeown and McEnery ea3ll £6O and passage paid; Godden, £230; Superintt.ndent Mallon £l,OOO, and four members of his stair £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 A.-ork by the Inman steamer which was to leave Queenstown on Wednesday. It appears that an enquiry is at present being instituted at Cong, county Mayo, and prisoner left there rather abruptly a tew 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 ejeetment summonses, issued in the name of the son of the informer dames Carey, were entered on the list. The defendants are Carey'stenante, and since he became an informer had stated their determina. lion not to pay rent to him. None of the parties, however, appeared, and the cases fell through. All the Phumix 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. Ile 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 stops would be taken to rectify this gross and shameful blunder. Mr. Sullivan, M.P., and Mr. Harrington, 31.1'., 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 follow. ing 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, Chares Daniel Boyd, near Shanbaugh, in August, 1831, and f.:250 for injuries sustained by himself on the same occasion; to Elizabeth Conroy, of Sligo, £4OO, for injuries sustained at Ballienally, Sligo, March 19, l 82; to Timothy Connell, of Knockaurima, Kerry, £llO, for injuries sustained on March 10, 1882 ; and to Mary Connell £l3O, for injuries inflicted at the sante time and place; to Bridget BarrettL of Doolough, Mayo, £450, for the murder of her usband at Doolough, on the 11th May, 1882, Other smaller rewards are also gazetted. The Press Association learns that Mr. Ernest Hart, who, accompanied by 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 arc dependent on charity. Mr. Hart adds that there are in Ireland 4.000,000 acres of neglected grass land, with regard to which he will recommend in his report that the Government he urged to advance to a responsible company such MIMS 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.
