[fbom ovb own correspondent]’ London, May 18. Arrests continue to be made in Dublin of persons supposed to have been implicated in the recent assassination, but as yet no case has been made out. The members of the Fenian brotherhood in Ireland continue active. From communications received by Mr. Parnell and Mr. Davitt, it transpires that the Fenians are furious against them for having avowed their detestation of the murder of Lord Cavendish and Mr. Burke, and they are now in dread of assassination for having, as the Fenians allege, abandoned the Irish cause. Mr. Parnell, in the course of a speech in the House of Commons, declared that the assassination of j Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. | Burke was devised by the enemies of | the Land League, in order to bring discredit upon that body. Sailors are engaged in searching the river Liffey for the bodies of the assassins of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke, it being reported that the assassins committed suicide by drowning.
