THE PHCENIX PARR MURDERS. ARRIVAL OF WESTGATE.  Westgate, the man who ha+ confessed to b-log one of the murderers of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke, whose arrival in England has been anticipated for some time past, arrived on Friday at Plymouth in the Rival Mail Company's steamship Nile. She was due at Plymouth on Werineeday, but has been delayed by terrific weather, which she encountered on Monday, when her upper deck watt clean swept and all the boats on the port quarter and all moveable articles were carried overboard. On the Nile being hoarded Weregate was found in the sal ion in charge of Inenector Morrow, of the Detective Department, Duldin. With hint also was Frederick Farrchild, coek and steward of the Britiah barque Glad-tone, to whom Westgate, who was at the time pasting under the name of O'Brien, made the o nfession that he was associated with the Plimoix-park murders. He was accommodated with a first-claas passage on boar 1, ti-e object of this on the part of the Government officiols 1 eine that the prisoner should bee antinnally under the eye and in the prerence of the detecive officer, this not being possible except at great, inconvenience in any other part of the vessel. The police restrictions p-evented anything in the Owe of an intery Jew; indeed Inspector Morrow had been no vigilant over his charge on the voyage home that even the pazs engem have not had an opportunity of putting many questions to the prisoner. On one or two occasions, however, some remarks were addrPased to him when the opportunity offered, and be then not only adhered to his Et dement that he was concerned in and associated with the murders, but added that he was in a pnstion to render mportant information when brought before the magistrates in his native country. Inspector Morrow, however, utterly discredits Weatgataie story, lie stated very frankly, in answer to questions, that in his opinion WeEt Tate wets a perfect imbecile, He has known him for many yerrs as an inoffenalve man who had never been brought before the magistrates charzel with the elightest offence. Mr. Morrow added that it was perfectly true, as reported in the papers, that Westgate, on his arrival in Jamaica, denied all knowledge of him or Fairchild, but this only strengthened his opinion that the man did not know what he was about. Wei t •at ‘, if in his right mind, must have known him well. Mr. Morrow was next informed that from informati punished in the papers that morning there was reason to believe the , police had captured certain men who were asseciated with the murders of Lord F. Cavendish and Mr. Burke, Mr. Morrow said he was not surprise lat receiving the inf. rmation. Later on he was pressed ti say whether any revelations of Weatgate had led him to form such a c ,nelusion. Exerci-ina the usual police caution, he said he was not expected to state anything that he might believe, but he presently added, "You may say that not only am I not surpris Ed at the news, but that I expected it." Westgate's removal from the Nile tj the steam tender was 0 isdy ace ampliehed. It in happened that the late arrival of the mail boat favoured his removal to Dublin, as the Dublin boat leaves Plymouth on Fridays about 11 am, Ile was soon on board the Avoca in charge of the inspector, and before noon he had left Plymouth for Dublin, where he will be charged, on his own confession, with the murders.
