The Conservatives of the Queen's County are nerving themselves up for the next election struggle. Meetings with closed doors have been held in different places in the county for the purpose of forming committees in order that a complete overhauling of the voters' list may be made. This should act as an incentive to the popular party to take steps for holding their present "grip" on the Parliament representation of the county.

The London correspondent of the Dublin Express, writing- of Carey's last moments in England, says : —Carey's last moments appear to have been of a peculiarly horrible nature. He seemed to have had suspicions from the moment he left Kilmainham that he was being tracked. He frequently expressed his suspicions to the police who had charge of him. At any rate, after his Irish guard left him he was terribly nervous, and almost hourly complained of the treatment he received. He at length had the hardihood to indite his insolent epistle to the Prime Minister, but this was his last exploit in that line. His conveyance to the docks and his passage were managed entirely by the English officials. The steamer being an extra one, there were few applicants for tickets, and Carey said this was a good job. He said just before entering the eteamer that he should have no fear of being recognised anywhere were it not for "his voice." He was informed that he had only an ordinary Irish accent, that it was not so marked as the Scotch accent, and that he could not be recognised by it. He was satisfied, or appeared to be. At the dock he was taken for an Irish engineer who was going out from one of the dockyards, and to keep up this delusion he wa9 accorded some privileges. On board the same ship was a blunt Yankee, who was loud, noisy, and jocular. No message whatever was received after the ship left the docks until the news of Carey's death arrived. The story that the Government had heard of Carey's safe arrival in his colonial destination was an invention. Indeed, I am in a position to say that the Government troubled very little after the man was clear off their hands, and the very mention in the telegram of the name of Carey's vessel was a terrible shock to them.
