IRISH AFFAIRS.

London, Oct, 13. The Nationalists are alarmed at the report that Mr Parnell’s heirs will obtain the control of the funds in the hands of the Paris bankers. The Pamellites have had a meeting at which they decided to adhere to their policy before listening to any offer for reunion. They insist upon Mr MacCarthy obtaining a plain"acceptance from Mr Gladstone of the scheme of Home Rule demanded by Mr Parnell. They intend to call a convention of Irish delegates from every county. Mr John Redmond or Mr Pierce Mahoney will probably be chosen leader. The magnitude of Mr Parnll’s funeral has clearly impresssd the Nationalist Press, whose tone is respectful and eulogistic. The Pamellites declare that the priests had a large share injthe murder of the leader. The Pamellites have decided to hurry on the establishment of their proposed newspaper. They have issued a manifesto stating that they will have no fellowship with the the traitors who loaded Mr Parnell with calumny and hounted him to death. The seceders are stigmatised as satellites of Mr Gladstone. A relative of Mr Gladstone will be a candidate for the Cork seat. The Dublin National Club refuses to accept the sham Home Rule. They assert that they would rather fight alongside the Orangemen. It is alleged that the Erench law permits Mrs Parnell to withdraw part of the Paris fund and devote it to the support of her late husband’s party. ** Oct. 14. Mr MacCarthy does not intend to issue any manifesto, giving it as his belief that there is no real division between the two sections of the Irish party. Mr Labouchere declares that Mr Parnell informed him that Captain O’Shea was concerned in the forged letters which played a prominent part at the Parnell Commission; also that Captain O’Shea obtained money from Mr Chamberlain with which to pay Piggot. The Cork Convention has been postponed until the 27th instant, as the MacCarthyites fear that theipopulace might attack them. It is rumoured that Mrs Parnell proposes to publish letters between Mr Gladstone and Mr Parnell on Irish affairs, Mr Chamberlian speaking in Wales, appealed to the country to uphold the Protestant Church in Ireland. The French bankers are awaiting legal authority to disburse the funds deposited with them in Mr Parnell’s name. The Daily Telegraph’s Paris correspondent says that it is possible that the funds may become the property of France.
