Excitement in Dublin.

A Dublin dispatch Bays: “The city is in a furore over tire news from Cape Town, and the people, who fill the streets, are madlyexultant, shouting and cheering and causing the police much trouble. The officials both here and at London seem stupefied with surprise at the extent of information possessed by the Invincibles, which was much greater than that possessed by the heads of departments here. They are amazed that anybody should have known Carey’s whereabouts, and they were much more inclined to believe he had gone to Canadtsor America than to Africa.” —« Carey's Record.
