IRISH AFFAIRS.
A large number of persons were in Phoenix Park at the time of the murder of Lord Cavendish and Mr Burke, which occurred in broad daylight. They imagined that the scuffle was simply a drunken brawl, and did not interfere. The police are making every exertion to discover the murderers of the Chief Secretary. The Irish assert that four American Fenians were the principals in the atrocious act.
Another attempted murder is reported! from Ireland. A bedroom in the house of a magistrate, living at Macroom, nineteen miles from Cork, was fired into and completely riddled with shot. Fortunately none of the inmates were injured. The would-be assassins escaped.
Owing to the alarming spread of disaffection and outrages in Ireland, the police have received instructions to make a diligent search for concealed arms. General searches are accordingly being made in all dram shops and low public-houses, and any arms found there are seized,
Mr Parnell, in the course of a speech in the House of Commons, declared that the assassination of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr Burke had been devised by the enemies of the Land League in order to bring discredit upon that body.
