MISS PARNELL AND THE LORD LIEUTENANT.

A strange incident occurred on June 15th as the Lord Lieutenant was tiding from the Viceregal Lodge to the Castle. When passing up Westmoreland street, MUi Parnell ran forward and caught his Escelleney's horse by the rein, saying that the wanted to ask him a question. His Ezoellenoy told her that he could not speak to her there; and that sha must come to the Cutis. Miis Parnell then releaped the horse,: and returned to the footpath, escorted by the aide-de-camp, • who had dismounted from his horse. , Neither the aide-de-camp, nor the Lord Lieutenant knew who the lsdy was. Miss Parnell did not go to the Castle as re* quested, but she addressed the following letter to the Dublin evening papers "Dear Sir,—l was shocked to see to-day in the' freeman' that the ercctien tf shelter tot th# 600 persons evicted la Limerick, who have been forcibly and oa< lawfully deprived of it for the last twe months by Lord Spencer and his pride* eeuors, has been again stopped. I met Lord Bpenser en hie way to the Castle sub* esquently, and asked him whether this statement was tree. He answered that he could Bat hist what I wassaying, bat he could hear perfectly wel!,-at)d I told him eo, to which he replied,: ' Icionot,' and refused; steadfastly >to i£y'anything else. ftoa this I came to the conclusion that Lord Spencer is really ashamed of himself, and would be glad to escape from the odious position he hie placdl himself in; and I would therefore take thie opportunity to irge on all vha are connected with the building of these houses to persevere »erecting then, sad if prevented id one place to go te another; if one MSB is smiled, to let another take his plies, aad thus to leave no shadow ef decent cover for a continuation of this outrage on hamanlty. ,I hope that all ether tenant farmere will ia thie eznergeiey some to the asiistance of their el ass, and give, Wherever it is required,< thel( groundfar these homes.' If the people do not jam, and ihow a little determine* tion on this question, I eu afraid we shall have, before long, repetitions of the Khode child murder in many parts ef Ireland.—l remain, your», A Pashbix."
