[SPECIAL TO MELBOURNE AGE.] London, March 27. Egan, the late treasurer of the Irish Land League, and Sheridan, who is supposed to be one of the members of the Irish Assassination Committee, both of whom are at present in America, have delivered an address on the subject of the recent Fenian explosions in London. They declare that this was the only means by which the Irish could obtain redress from the English Government, and they insist that Ireland should persevere in blowing up public buildings in London until the concessions asked by the party are granted. They strongly recommend the use of dynamite as being more effective than any other weapon possessed by the Irish. (Received April 11, 2.20 p.m.) Rome, April 10.
