CHARLES APOLOGISES. Archbishop Walsh was in the witness box when the Parnell Corraniseion met on Thursday morning. Before evidence was heard, Sir Charles Pannell made au acknowledgement with reference to an incident of Wednesday. He admitted that he had persisted too etronglywith an ephaion which was in antagonism to the view of the mart. The Preiddent accepted the acknowledgment. I. Walsh, examined by Mr. Raid, then Save information bearing upon the present state of !rebind. He declared- that the constitutional movement had been the severest opponent to outeage and secret societies. RA asom-examireition by hi!. Atkinson, Dr. W.alsh said he thought boycotting, in the sense of exclusive dealing, to be toleralile, but where bergeting was associated with intimidation, with the cutting off or the paring down of the freedom of any one, then he called the practice re7ehensible, and disapproved of it wholly. He had not always approved. of "United Ireland's" teachings. Most of Dr. Walah's crow-examination had reference to the position which he personally took , in relation to the Land League and Nationalist movement When he left the witness box he was succeeded by the Rev. Michael O'Connell, who having lived at Letterfrath for some years, had an opportunity of knowing about the state of Mrs. Blake's property. He described the position of many of the tenants as wretched, and said that Mrs. Blake did not spcourage or help industry. A branch of the League was formed at Letterfreak in the year of 1880, and he was secretary of is. It never had any meetings, and he men- , tiOned as an interesting feet that only the heads . Man:lilies were members. He denied that a man (Farrelly) ever distributed Land Leagu e cards at Letterfrack, and believed thoroughlythat the League had nothing to de with the outrages on Mrs. Blues property. The League discountenanced crime and he denounced it from the altar eteps. The afternoon was practically occupied in the crosseaxaminatioe of Father o.oonnel, who declared emphatically that it was his practioe to denounce crime and outrage from the alter of his chapel. He was perfectly confident that the local branch of the League bad nothing to do with tie outrages which took place on Mrs. Blake's Flirty. The Rev. Father the Considine from Fre well, county Gehray, was e next witness. said he never knew of crime being encouraged by the League.  „ I i'he young woman Guy, stated.to have been raiderektaaanesati :imillieteljeSiengoti nearly a brear, in a at 41 _ale (mar innate wry on W .

The young victim took pokion, not in her father's how., but at keyerling, where the Grown Prinre Ethdolph committed suicide. The two wale seem to have been almost aieanitaneoue.  Tin% Vienna oorrespondent of the Timm telegraph's the fo4owmg graphic description of a visit to the death chamber of the Crown Prince Rudolph. The Oman Priaace lay in a deep bleak coffin, with gilt °moments. lie was wearing the white cant and rid trouvre of an Austrian Lientonard-Field-Marsimil, mond hie neck hung the red riband and gold pendant of the Go/den Fleece, and on his bread woe the star of the Order of dt.

To those who knew the Prince before he had shaved off his beard his face seemed wondrously changed, ' that is, smaller, and, ono might almost any, fiercer, for theinemetaehe, inetead of lytwe smooth on the lip, had been combed out SSW two bristling bushes, in Hungarian fasktion. A black ribbon had been tied round the head ma the akin to keep the mouth cloyed. A Mek of hair had been brought over the brow, to eon. oral a wound in the right temple, and the overhanging branch of a palm-tree, which had been easterly arranged so as to touch the forehead, tninisturad to the WSW kindly purpose. Two large tapers, set in enertacaurativer candledicks, burnt on either side of the <I:4U, and at the foot a carpi:Wed priest was kneeliag on a footstool praying. An elderly min, ba black robe and white cup, walked daftly about like a 4131118 in the room of • rack child, sad. glanced wistfully at visitors with a look that seemed to say "Do not disturb lam." It was infinitely pitiful. ihe young Priem lay motionlees, and yet with an expression so different from the placidity of rest. Undeniably there was a look of 'sin and trouble on the features, and all this again remead the sickness rather than the grave. Among the many wreathe round the Prince's with die of the most conspicuous was from his old nurse, the dreamers of which bore the words "Prom your dear Vovo." A special requlem service for the late Prince Rudolph was conducted at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Farm-street, London, on Tuesday morning.

He borrowed £4OO from a friend and went to a club, where he lost his money as well as an additional £lOO which he had borrowed from the steward. He then went out to the Bois de Boulogne and shot himself there. He was found lying outside the Chinese Pavilion, where the Tziganes usually play, his head reposing on a soft hat, which was saturated with blood. In his button-hole was an orchid, and in a pocket of his coat was a letter, in which he expressed a desire that his body should be taken for identification to the Morgue. This is another instance of the tragic consequences of that craze for riches which has characterised persons connected with the Bourse in Paris dur'ng recent years. The merest stockbroker's clerk aims at having, like his masters, horses, chariots, and so on, and the average result is disgraceful flight or deplorable suicide.
