MR PARNELL.
TO THB EDITOR OF THB PRESS, , -~ Sir,—l have been a reader of the LyM-i ion Times for years, and have been struct with the frequency and character oi leaders and reprinted matter dealing with Irish questions. If ever there was a time when Irish affiairs and Irish politicians ought to interest all classes of British subjects It is now; if ever Ireland and the Catholic priesthood deserved the honest sympathy of all classes it is now, while the latter are protesting against the doings of that shameless man, ParnelL
Yet, strange as It may seem, the Lyttelton Times is mute. The editor cannot be ignorant of the Importance of the present crisis, even in the way of helping to form an honest colonial opinion. If he has a thought on the subject, is he afraid to express it f Sir, the audacious defence ol Parneli that the feeling against him is ftU " sentiment and hypocrisy " only helps to show the vileaeas of his character. Though a poor man, I will gladly Contribute my mite towards sending & message of eymS,thy across tho sea to either Gladstone, cCarthy, or even tha Catholic priaafehood.—Yours, &c, *t H.S.W(
