Phoenix Park Informers.
News has been received of the Phoenix Park informers, sent by the Government to the various colonies some three and a-half years ago, after the Invincible trial. Kavanagh, the carman, has been dead some time. He always drank hard, and after leaving Ireland went from bad to worse, and finally succumbed to delirium tremens. Joe Smith, the man who from working for the Board of Works in making repairs at Dublin Castle, knew Nr Burke, and pointed him out to the assassins, is also dead. He died under much the same circumstances as Kavanagh. Peter Carey, brother of the notorious James Carey, •hot by O’Donnell, has done remarkably well, and is now in prosperous circumstances in one of the colonies. He war, when in Dublin, always regarded as a sober, steady, and clever artisan. Bob Farrell, the van-driver, who first turned informer, is also doing well in another of the colonies.
