J. Shaw-Lefevre, First Commissioner of Works and Buildings. The report requires confirmation. Many leading Irish journals are now demanding that Michael Davitt, who was re-arrested some time back, and is now confined in Portland should be released forthwith.
prison, London. May 3. # The Times in a leading article this morning on the release of the Irish members, Messrs Paanell, Dillon, and o'Kelly, expresses doubt aa to the success of the change of policy decided upon by the Government, and which, the Times is of opinion, places Mr Parnell, practically the master of the situation. The Conservatives generally, consider the release of the political "suspects" a great victory for the Radical section in the House of Commons, and deplore the new departure taken by the Ministry as intimated by Earl Granville and Mr Gladstone in their recent speeches. In Ireland, the release of Messrs Parnell, Dillon, and O'Kelly has been celebrated with rejoicing throughout the country.
