[pee united fbess association I .] AuokiiA.nd, April 1. The English ship Mysterious Star, was seized on February 24th, at San Lorenzo, m the State of Ecuador, by order of the Dictator of Vientemilla, and partially dismantled. The reason assigned was tha'c Captain Jenkins afforded aid to the revolutionists. He has arrived m Panama to seek assistance ' from a British man-of-war. ! H enery Sigbert, the Philadelphia philanthropist, died recently, and was cremated on March 7th. He left his entire estate, upwards of £500,000 dollars, to charitable institutions. The New York Star of the 9lh March prints the tollowing exciting despatch from Dublin :— " It is now said thac Carey has implicated John McCafferty, said to be from California, who, with his private secretary, named Milne, 1 was m London m April and May, 1882, for the ostensible purpose of disposing of a mine m that State. Both these parties were extremely anti- English m their conversation, and were, well supplied with money. Carey, it is stated, told the detective officers here that these men frequently furnished him with largesums of money to cover the expenses of secret orders, and McCrafferty told him to wind twine round the handle ot the knives, as was the custom m California to give the user a firm grip of the weapon. Both McCrafferty and Milne are well known to the Americrn colony, m London, and to the Scotland ¥ ard detectives, and it is hinted that Close, the Scotland Yard emissary, who is now m New York, ostensibly to bring, back Kind, the alleged incendiary, is m reality seeking to identify McCafferty and Milne, the first of whom is supposed to be the real instigator of the conspiracy which led to the Phoenix Park murders." VlcCafferty was heard* from on the 10th. He gave the charge an indignant denial. '.
