" The rumour of Mr. Parnell's assassination," writes a correspondent in London, " caused a great sensation on Friday morning. In the railway trains, and standing in groups in the streets, men were talking with solemn faces on the supposed event. Consternation was viAible everywhere. I will give Englishmen this credit, that, so far at least 89 my observation went, not one symptom of satisfac'ion was expressed, not even a cynical jest was uttered at the supposed occurrence of an event which, however untoward or however guilty in itself, might well be regarded by some Englishmen as a retribution upon the head of a man who is indirectly responsible for much bloodshed, and more mischief of other kinds. Throughout the day's suspense there was no sign of such malignity as scarcely concealed its satisfaction at the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish, and which openly rejoiced at the murder of Carey. The only feeling was one of horror, that even Irish loyalty should have taken to the national style of agitation by bloodshed." The Birmingham Radical Union seems to have come Golan abrupt termination. Never was a political association more bold in its programme, and more prompt in its self-i Ifacement. Only a few days ago Mr. Jesse Herbert was preparing to act the part of Dr. Parkhurst to Birmingham Radicalism, and penning smart rejoinders and rebuttera to Mr. Collings' attack in the press ; and now the Union has disbanded Itself. Mr. Herbert was first compelled to resign. He found himself, owing to his clerk's successful roguery, some handreda of pounds in debt, instead of straight with the world and with £2,000 in the bank. He is entirely a "self-made " man, and every one sympathises with his cruel loss, all the more as it was Incurred through wick -credulous good nature. But obviondy his first duty was to recover himself financially before dabbling in politico. Joseph Arch, president of the " Union," has also retired, having apparently changed his mind as to the expediency of trying to outbid Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Bright .n the matter of thorough-paced democracy. The two chiefs having thus deoerted the Union, the rank and file at once d.sapreared. There were not, it is said, very many rank and file to disappear, and Mr. Herbert and Mr. Arch have not to be commiserated upon any very important amount of political selfsacrifice.  Mr. Shaw's Pp3ec'i at Exeter Hall created a prolound impression. In spite of the chairman's deprecation of any olitical allusion ; in spito of Mr. :-,ltaw's own studied moderation of language, the narrative of his wrongs did undoubtedly pro ince up in his audience a feeling of intense indignatton, which vented itself in groans and hieses such as have seldom been heard in the great Evangelical meeting-place, and which, amongst a Nonconformist and pesiionately peace-loving audience, betoken the possibility of a national exasperation such as it would behove our neighbours to take note of. The case is, indeed, upon Indubitable testimony very black against the French officials; and the French Government must either disown the flagrant barbarities of its subordinates and make ample compensation and apology, or it must rest under the disgraceful imputation of adopting them,
