To the Irish people and all lovera of liberty, and particularly oar Brothers of Ireland and kindred organisations : As there seems to be a grave niiaunder.tandir!? 13 to the am and scape of the late execu tions at Dublin, we, the Executive of. the 1.E..8., hereby request the aforesaid to withhold their opinions or. thij matter tor the present and refrain from any expres sion of sympathy at public meetiags, which tead to humiliate Ireland antl give aid and comfort to Eng land. Aa to' the monster Burke,, he hai preyed upon the lives aad liberties of his countrymen for many years, and had de served death, a thousand times at oar hinds ; and aa to Lord Frederick Cavendish, the lineal descendant of tbe infamous Lord Brougham, who hanged the gallant aad patriotic JlcCreagor, Bishop of Koss, at Carrigadrohid because h« would not betray hu siiuntry, his very name atinks in the nosttils of Irish people by the iniquities of his brother, j-crd aartingtoo, and the wholesale evictions of hia fa:her, the Duke of Devonshire, thereby driving thousands of the rightful owners of the aoil to the poorhouae, exile and death. Thti organization bad tolerated the vagaries of Paraell and his safe treas.m moagew, until he has tilled the baatiles ot our country with victims, and hii useless f arliamentary agibttiao, which l<-ft 20,000 persons homelew bat year, and drove mil lioua of the flower of our people into exile.

If England really wiaiaes to deai fairly by Ireland, why not issue a general amaeaty by wkich tha prison doors would be opened aad thousands of our exiled brethrea, who now pine in. foreign lands, could return in. safety and honour. Instead »f this, Gladstone sont emissaries to the venerated head of the Cataolic Church, who by lies ani false representa tions have deprived thousands of our poor, persecuted p«ople of the comforta of r»ligi«n by turning our altars into political platfarma.

A Severe Blow to Gladstone.— How the Premier Received the News of the Assassinations.

Loxnox, May 9.—Glaiitone attended on Saturday evening a recepti»a at the hoiue of tha Austriau Ambassador. While en joying the occasion the first telegram from Dubha couTeying the iacelii^ence of the m«rd(jr of Lofd Ca»endiah waa received, and immeduttly dujatched to the Am bnaaador's residence and delivered to Sir William Vernon Harcoart, wio undertook the taak: of communicating the news to uladatane. The Premier was quietly called aside and taken into a private room, where ha was Informed of what had occurred. The nataral pallflr of the old m.n'i face became abaolutely ghastly, and throwing up both hand-i he atajgered to a a«at witbont words. For a moment it was thought he wauld fai*t, and there waa a raah for restoratives, fcut he gradaally recoferad, and, refaatag all proffered assistance, demanded ia a, brokea *oice to know the particulars.. At firat he would coc Relieve tke story. After he hud beome coavincad there was no hope tkat the report* had been ex-~ aggerated, he rallied, and makinj a aricf excuse to hia huat, entered a carriage aad waa driven directly home, and he spent nearly the entire night writing aad reading telegrams, dictating to hia sec retary, and forming plans to meet; thesnna tioa. A smmsna wna sent for the member* of tke Cabinet ta meet him at hia hoaje on Sanday aft«rnooa. So much other bust nasa of tital importance waa trais*cted that it was six' o'clock in the morning before the Premier retired. He -was np again at 9. The Ministers found the Premier almost crushed by the blow, but on the alert to meet the crisis. He listened to their suggestions almoai silently, aad made few coacments, although he pencilled occa sioual notes

A Rupture in the Parnellite Party.—Scene in Mouse of Commons.

Ntw Yobs, May 24—A cable special from London says of the rupture between faruell and the members ot his party in the Commons on Tuesday :—Although the manoeuvres of a discontented section have been no secret to the inner circle ot the IVnellifce party, no one expected an explo sion id soon, oc under such peculiar circum stances. Gladstone rose to make a motion giving the Coercion and Arrears Bills the precedenca over all other business till hnally disposed of. Then came the first indication taat there, was sametiiing in tne wind Dillon arose to inform the House that the Irish party would not allow their hostility to the Coercion Bill to be bought off by concessions on the Arrears Bill. This. was no news ta anyone, aa the inteation of the party had been well known for several days, but it afforded Dillou too gnod an opportunity to pose aa an irreconcilabfe patriot to be thrown away. Thi3 set the ball rolling. Healy followed, anJ after a snort debate, wherein Parnell attacked the Government rather sharply, two divisions were taken in rapid succession.

A FOKCED DmSIOS.

I The second division was forced on by Eealy and Callan, despite the audible re monstrances of Parnell, between whom and some of his _lieu tenants a mild altercation waa proceeding in the face of tha House, much to the amtuemtmS of the Eaaliah members, who welcome eagerly every sign of the declining influence of the Irish leader. After a second division, Parnell rose and stated he had been under the im pression that the last division had been taken on the main question—that ia, the precedence oc the Coercioa Bill, and he yonUjl accept the laat vote aa a decision of Jthe House ia order not to obstruct! the progress' of the- Arrears Bill; which' waa waitjng for ' the second reading. Thereupon the 3torm burst. O'Pounell arose, and ia a hysterical speech stated that he would not have it on hia conscience to allow Gladstone's motion to pass without another division. The House laughed at O'DonneJl, who waa in a moat dramatic vein, and resolved to be an even move uncompromising patriot than Dillon or Healy, Hia speech was also regarded as a defiance to Parnell and the throwing over of hia authority. This pleased the House immensely, and the hon. members congratulated themselves oa wit ceaaing a scene which was regarded a3 the firat scramble far the akin of the dead lion. There was on tha Irish benches intense eiottement daring- the'delivery :ec O'Doa nell's1 SDeech; and frequent appliuie from some half, a dozen ipambera gava praof that he waa not alone in his rebellious atti inde.

Dating the prcgress- of the scime, Parnelt sat pale and Yiearied-lookinsr, and when the final challenge to a division was made by O'Doaaell aad hi 3 supporters, the Iri^ii leader rose and left tlia House, followed by a number of hi.i party. As he walked oat, every one felt that a severe blow had been dealt at his authority, and at the union and influence of the Irish party. The Iriah Whigs were delighted, and went about the House witk faces beaming with satisfac tion, congratulating theacuelvea that the revolutiju hid began to devour its pro pliet.

A CURIOUS COMBIiS AGIOS'. Tbe-jCurioas feature about this incident v the extraordinary combination, whereby it was effected. Perhaps there are cot four men in the House who have less in common or who dislike each other more heartily

Their common bond of union is the dislike of Parnell. Among the English members this iaci'ieai is regarded as a forerunner of the disappearance of. Paraeli, aad the dis ruptisn of the Irish party. Dillon ia sus pected of aspiring to the" leadership, bat ie is an open secret that none of the leading members wauld act with him. Should Parnell retire in disgust, aa ia not impro bable, S*xton would aimcat certainly .be chosen to. saccsed him, 33 in addi tion to nig greai; ability a3 an orator, ha fa a man of sound judgment aad conciliatory manners. There ia, howsver, reason to be lieve that a reconciliation may be effected, as many of the lift members who took part in the demonstration have already ex pressed regret at their conduct, and both Jcutin McCarthy and Sexton, who voted with the fifteen, disclaim any intention o£ . affronting Pariaell, or of attacldng hia au ' tlmity, but no matter how it may "be patched up, the incident has added to the gravity of the Irish etuis, and haa seriomly damaged the prestige of the Irish leader. PBJJSS COMIIEST3. LOOTOS, May 24—A1l the papers com ment upoa the significant divergence amon " the Iruh members ia the. division last evening, in the House of Commons, on , Gladstone's motxoa. Besides O'Uannellaid ' Arthur O'Connor, those refuaijg to follow , Parnell included Thomas Power 0 Can»or, Kedmijnd, yinnigan, Kiciiard Power, Sex too, McCarthy, Bizgar, O'Sallivan, Moore, Healy, SulliTan, Learning, Callan, and j ShieL The following ab^tainsd, with Par ! Dell, from voting on the division : O'Kelly, Camming, Sinnam, Malloy,'and Masoa. A Clever Speech, A cablegram of May 27th from London says : Parneira effort on Thursday ni^ht to undo the effects ot Dillnu's harangue on the previous diy, ao far a3 Ea»lish public opiai#a is conc»rae"d, and at the same time to fasten an tka member for Tipperaiy the fnll reapon»i'iility for the Kilmainham con veraatioai, wan oie of the cleverest bita of Pirliamentary work witnessed for a lons tints in the Hoase. It w_aa a deli cate subject. Paraeli had evidently pre pared hia statement with. nnnaa.il care, speaklig, contrary to his custom, from copious notes. The work -was done ia the Irish leader's beat style, cold, ia ciaive and relentless, but smooth and studi ously moderate in expression. Dillon, who since his release haa sought by hia attitude to convey the idea that he had the respon sibility for the Kilraamham compact, s±t aa still as a statue, gro win^ paler than ever aa the Irish leader remorselessly pointed out the difference between. lullon's opinions, as interpreted by Dillon and aa interpreted by ParneU. and U'Kelly, in their now timom Kitaiiiinham conversations.

TEE SICEET OUT.

From their explanations it followed thai; Dillorrs »iaw3 had not been so desperate or uncompromising when' behind the Kflniainham ban aa tie House and EngLsh. preaj aupposed from the member for Tippsiary's violent speeches since Ma release. On the contrary, k became evi dent that the imprisoned members tuorongiiiy agreed that the time bad come for the pacification.,^ the country, if the evil* *f stera military repression were to be avoided. Dilion's a'tempt, therefore, to throw all "the responsibility oa Pirnell, for the coarse hi .had. adopted, was regarded by his fellow-prUonsr3 as ungenerous and unfair. This was cot said, but clearly indicated by Pirnell's words, and by tha approving "hsar, hear?/' of the msmber for Boiceniaion. Dilloa also raided hia nac during the progress of P*rneli's statement in aekaowledgmentcf the correct ness at the versionof the conversation given by the IrLh leader. Aa no correction- or contradiction was attempted by Dilloa oc VKelly, w&o werebo:h in their places, it may be ai«asmed thas at last ttie public naa been admitted to a full knowledge of what actually took place in Kilmtinham. and of thu coaversatioa which indicated the true; Kind of the laipriaoned members, and formed the basis of the new policy, ao un fortunately imerruptsd by the Phoenix Park tragedy.

The Arrears of -Rent Bill.

Lonbos, Majr 15.—1 n tha Commons to day Gladstone introduced the Arreaxs-of fient Bill. He explained that the BtU waa limited to tenancies up to £30, Griffith's valnaticn. The Bill will be administered by the Land ComaiisaioD, which -frill be assisted by a County Court Jadge, hefore whoa the tenant will be obliged to prove hii inability to pay his arrears. Either landlord or tenant may apply to the Commission. The Bill only deals with two years'arrears, and requires the tenant to pay one year's arrears from No vemiser, ISBO, to 1881. When that is paid, tiia whole remaining arrears will be cancelled. The Government will contribute tne remaining rent from the Irish Church Surplu* Fund, the eatiaia'e.l amount ot whisk ia £1,500, COO. There is no r*a'oa to believe that the claims on the Garernmeat'a contribution will exceed £2,(09,000. The reaiainin 2 half-million, therefore, will be made up from the consoli dated fund. Tae progress of the Bill will depend upon tke progress of the Repression Bill, which cannot be displaced.
