THE TRIAL OF THE "INVINCIBLES."  Large sums of money have been regularly every week lodged in Dublin Bank to the credit of the prisoners now in Kilmainham awaiting their trial on the charge of being concerned in the Phcenix Park Murders. The prison authorities are unable to trace the source from which these funds come; but the existence of a large defence fund is a contradiction to the report that Brady's trial would not be proceeded with on Tuesday. He has been served with notice that he will be put upon his trial on that day, and it has been intimated to all the prisoners that professional advisers will be assigned them should they require them. Some fresh evidence will be forthcoming, which will, it is stated, prove a strong corroboration of Carey's testimony. A young servant girl will be put upon the table, who will be able, it is alleged, to throw a good deal of light on the doings of the 6th of May. At the forthcoming trials of the Irish Invincibles, evidence will be given to the effect that Mr Patrick Tynan, lately of Kingstown, stationer, was " No. 1." His photograph will be produced by the Crown, and identified by three approvers—first, by James Carey, and then by others, as the person they had seen in company with certain of the leading prisoners. It will be proved that he stopped at a certain hotel, and had interviews with individuals whose names will crop up prominently in the trials. An affidavit has been made stating that Tynan, who is now in Mexico, is undoubtedly No. 1. It will be deposed that James Mullett was designated "No. 2," James Carey "No. 3," Daniel Curley "No. 4," and Caffrey "No. 5." These formed the directorate. Evidence will be adduced as to the sums of money having been given by "No. 1 " for purposes of convinicy. The first sum paid by him was £5O, next £4O, and then four £2O Bank of England notes. Some of the letters will be traced to the possession of one of the accused, and it wi I b 3 shown that he changed one of the notes in a certain place, in presence of "No. 1." The following is a copy of the official calendar for the Commission on Monday : Joseph Brady, Timothy Kelly, Thomas Caffrey, Patrick Delaney, Daniel Carley, Joseph Hanlon, Michael Fagan, James Fitzharris ('Skin-the-Goat'), James Mullett, Edward O'Brien, Edward McCaffrey, Peter Carey, Lawrence Hanlon, Peter Doyle, Michael Moravey, Daniel Delaney, Joseph Mullett, George Smith, Thomas Martin, and Thomas Doyle, charged with three offences—the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr T. H. Burke, the attempt to murder Mr Denis J. Field, and conspiracy to murder certain Government officials. Eight of the accused will be indicted on the capital charge in connection with the Phcenix Park assassinations, four with the attempt on Mr Field, and a general indictment will be sent up against all on the general charge of conspiracy to murder. James Carey will, of course, be the principal approver; and though the name of his brother Peter appears on the list, no indictment will be sent up against him, as the Crown has also accepted Ins testimony. Any attempt on the part of the prisoners to have the trials postponed will be opposed by the Crown, and athaavits giving reasons for the opposition will be ready. Joe Pool and Thomas Devine will also be tried at this Commission on the charge of murdering, or participating in the murder of, Constable Cox.
