Special Cable Dispatch to Tak Eventxo Sran, Loxpox, May 10.—A piece of news reaches me ‘this morning of a mostextraondinary and unparal- leled description, At first sight it appears as- tounding to the extent of incredibiitty, but I have every reason to believe it well founded. Indeed it Tests on no so-called authority of any kind, but upon a plain statement of certain facts. at the Danquet to Goschen Saturday night Lord Salis. bury declared that the tne must soon come for the governors of England, by some “‘short, sharp expression of thelr will, to put an end to a state of things which makes them ridiculous.” These words were noticed at the time, but no one was then in 2 position to guess at their significance, ‘The facts Ilearn this morning, indicate that unis “short, sharp” method 13 t consist, if circumstances favor, in THE WHOLESALE ARREST OF THE IKISH PARLIAMEN- TARY PARTY. ‘The following are the facts: Col. Lodge, the gov- emer of Millbank Prison, the largest and most modern of her majesty’s prisons in London, was summoned to London by the commissioners of Prisons by telegraph at a moment's notice, He ‘obeyed. Since “his arrival the wardens have re- celved and executed orders to prepare for the im- Mediate Occupation Of the sixty rooms for frst class misdemeanants—that 1s, a whole Wing of the prison, For several days’ furmuure wagons have been busy bringing beds, mattresses, fire- places, and the common furniture which 1s allowed under’ such circumstances. ‘The question natu- rally arises, why sixty? The recollection that the clock tower of Westminster 1s the usual place of confinement for parliamentary offenders, and bas accommodation for ten persons, helps to answer Uhe question. Ten and sixty make up seventy, which 1s not far off the total of the whole working foree of the Parneliite party in London. There thas beep no Increase of prisoners at Millbank, and there have never been any number approaching sixty first-class misdemeanants in the whole United Kingdom at the same time. Three or four ts generally the total. The governor of Holloway goal informed me himself not long ago of the first class misdemeanants from all parts of England sent to him, 11, therefore, impossible not to be- deve that these facts indicate the expectation of the government, that the bitter obstruction as the cominittee stage of the erimes bill approaches the end, Will give ‘them an unity, {f not force ‘upon them the necessity, of striking’the big blow they positively contemplate in the arrest of the Whole Irish party. ‘That the facts aro as 1 have stated them I know; the inference, of course, 18 ope: Yodoubt.
